Chapter Summaries

Shen Luo and his allies battled Gu Yuena, whose space abilities let her evade their attacks until Shen Luo killed her with Furina's power. As Gu Yuena revived, Shen Luo prepared the group to fight her again and explained how to counter her spatial dodges.

• Gui Mei and She Long used Klee's and Kamisato Ayaka's abilities to counter Gu Yuena's attacks, forcing her to abandon her enormous form.
• Shen Luo told the group to use lock-on skills, but Gu Yuena teleported past his attacks and charged at him.
• Shen Luo seized Gu Yuena's wrist and killed her with Furina's charged attack, then used Kazuha's ability to knock Di Tian unconscious.
• Shen Luo noticed the many five-star Artifacts that dropped from Gu Yuena and instructed the group to attack her together once she revived.
• The five Ferocious Beasts watched in astonishment as Gu Yuena opened her eyes.

Gu Yuena repeatedly died to the Soul Masters’ coordinated attacks, then confronted Shen Luo about the treasures she dropped and learned he was a god from another world. After Shen Luo said she needed Soul Power to join the team, Gu Yuena transformed into a human Soul Master and chose her Soul Power Level.

• Gu Yuena tried to flee, but Qian Renxue restrained her with Nahida’s Elemental Skill and the Soul Masters killed her with a Hyperbloom attack.
• The group coordinated repeated attacks on Gu Yuena through the night, while Di Tian and the others watched; by dawn, Gu Yuena had stopped resisting and sat waiting to be killed.
• Gu Yuena asked Shen Luo what the group had obtained from her and whether he was a god, and Shen Luo explained that he came from somewhere else.
• Gu Yuena asked Shen Luo about fairness and justice, then learned she could join the team if she had Soul Power.
• Gu Yuena transformed into a human Soul Master and explained that she could choose her human Soul Power Level, unlike other Soul Beasts who had to cultivate from the beginning.

Shen Luo brought Gu Yuena and the Spirit City group back to Spirit City, where Gu Yuena offered ninety-nine levels of Soul Power to draw cards. Their card draws were interrupted by Emperor Xue Ye’s arrival with Ning Fengzhi and two companions to visit Spirit Hall, leaving the group facing an unexpected diplomatic encounter.

• Shen Luo teleported Gu Yuena and the others to Spirit City, while Di Tian stayed behind and planned to follow them secretly.
• Bibi Dong explained the card-drawing process to Gu Yuena, who offered ninety-nine levels of Soul Power to make 990 pulls.
• A guard reported that Emperor Xue Ye had arrived with five people, and Qian Daoliu decided to receive them and pause the card draws.
• Xue Ye arrived with his attendant, Ning Fengzhi, and Ning Fengzhi’s two companions, while Tang Hao stayed away.
• Bibi Dong greeted Xue Ye, who explained that he had come himself because Crown Prince Xue Qinghe had disappeared.

Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi visited Spirit Hall, where Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu stalled them before Gu Yuena spent 99 levels of Soul Power on a card draw. She received six genuine Zhonglis and five other five-star characters, and Zhongli appeared with a seemingly physical body, leaving Qian Renxue wondering why he differed from the illusory Nahida.

• Xue Ye questioned Shen Luo about the stage, and Qian Daoliu claimed Shen Luo was an opera singer who had finished performing.
• Xue Ye thanked Bibi Dong for treating academy students and insisted that he and Ning Fengzhi would stay in Spirit City; Bibi Dong sent a guard to find them an inn.
• After Xue Ye and the others left, Qian Daoliu hurried Gu Yuena to Shen Luo so she could draw cards with 99 levels of Soul Power.
• Gu Yuena’s draw produced eleven five-star characters, including six genuine Zhonglis and five different characters obtained after lost 50/50s.
• Zhongli appeared, thanked the crowd for their praise, and asked where he was; Qian Renxue noticed that his body seemed physical unlike Nahida’s illusory form.
