Chapter Summaries

Xu Xingyu told Gu Yuena that Electrolux needed three supreme soul treasures to help Wang Dong'er, but finding the remaining two seemed unlikely. He accepted Gu Yuena’s advice to focus on completing his God Examination and left the Spirit Contract Pagoda for the Dragon Valley.

• Xu Xingyu visited Gu Yuena and explained Electrolux’s proposed treatment for Wang Dong'er and the three required soul treasures.
• Gu Yuena said a Purifying Flame Hong Lian and a soul gestation crystal would be difficult to find, and recalled that Tang San had taken an Earth Core Hong Lian.
• Xu Xingyu suggested reinforcing Wang Dong'er's seal and giving her soul-nourishing herbs if they could not find the treasures.
• Gu Yuena urged Xu Xingyu to complete his God Examination and promised to protect the Douluo Continent and the Abyss Plane while he was away.
• Xu Xingyu thanked Gu Yuena, said he would return as soon as he could, and set out for the Dragon Valley.

Xu Xingyu checked on Ma Xiaotao and Xu Yanxue before returning to Dragon Valley to continue the Dragon God Nine Trials. There, the Light Dragon King and Mountain Dragon King gave him their Dragon Cores and Soul Bones and entrusted him with finding successors for their godhoods.

• Xu Xingyu teleported to Dragon City, where Ma Xiaotao continued her Vermilion Bird Trials and Xu Yanxue remained in Deep Meditation absorbing Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow.
• Xu Xingyu received messages from Jiang Nannan and Xu Jiujiu, who supported his plan to pursue God Level power and agreed to focus on their own God Examinations and the Spirit Contract Pagoda.
• Xu Xingyu teleported to the Star Dragon Tower in Dragon Valley and questioned why he had arrived inside it rather than outside.
• A Jin told Xu Xingyu that his performance had earned the recognition of two Dragon Kings, and the Light Dragon King and Mountain Dragon King appeared before him.
• The Light Dragon King and Mountain Dragon King gave Xu Xingyu their Dragon Cores and Soul Bones and asked him to find successors for their godhoods before their Dragon Souls dissipated.

Xu Xingyu reflected on the two Dragon Kings’ sacrifices and examined the Soul Bones they left him. A Jin gave him a Dragon God-powered God-Given Soul Ring that could potentially reach a million years, leaving Xu Xingyu ready to fuse it as his Seventh Soul Ring.

• Xu Xingyu recalled the Light Dragon King’s role as guardian of the Dragon Slaying Saber and the Mountain Dragon lineage’s sacrifice to expand the land, then vowed to help the Dragon Clan and beast race rise again.
• Xu Xingyu considered the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone and Light Dragon King Right Palm Bone and noted that his God Level body could withstand the rejection from fusing Soul Bones.
• A Jin gave Xu Xingyu a golden God-Given Soul Ring, explaining that it could provide his Ziwei Star Martial Soul with a Seventh Soul Ring because Abyss could no longer supply one.
• A Jin said the ring could produce a Soul Ring ranging from Ferocious Beast level to a million years, depending on Xu Xingyu’s physical limits.
• Xu Xingyu thought about showing Huo Yuhao a million-year Soul Ring but acknowledged that Huo Yuhao had disappeared after the Holy Spirit Cult invaded Shrek Academy.

Xu Xingyu fused with the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone in the Star Dragon Tower, strengthening his body and bloodline. The fusion also began forming a rhombus-shaped crystal in his chest as he prepared to pursue a second Soul Core.

• Xu Xingyu asked A Jin for a secure place to fuse with his rewards, and she offered the tower’s central space and stood guard.
• Xu Xingyu chose the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone first to strengthen his physique and bloodline before attempting to absorb the Light Dragon King’s Soul Bone and a God-Given Soul Ring.
• Xu Xingyu reasoned that a stronger body would help him attempt Yin-Yang Complementarity and form a Bloodline Soul Core despite already possessing a Mental Attribute Soul Core.
• The Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone merged into Xu Xingyu, hardening his torso bones and raising his physique toward the Second-Level God level.
• Xu Xingyu’s bloodline power compressed in his chest and began forming a small rhombus-shaped crystal.

Xu Xingyu realized that his superior Dragon God bloodline let him devour Dragon King Soul Bones quickly, then began absorbing the Dragon God’s God-Given Soul Ring. As the ring grew beyond the hundred-thousand-year threshold, he prepared to inscribe his own understanding of the laws onto it.

• Xu Xingyu concluded that his Dragon God bloodline had let him devour the Mountain Dragon King Torso Bone and Light Dragon King Left Palm Bone with little difficulty.
• Xu Xingyu examined the God-Given Soul Ring and considered the risks of absorbing it beyond his body's limits.
• Xu Xingyu absorbed the golden mist, and the God-Given Soul Ring formed behind his purple-gold emperor star.
• The Soul Ring advanced through the hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year stages, shattering and reforming as it changed color.
• Xu Xingyu reached the stage where he needed to inscribe laws onto the ring, drawing on his existing understanding of their power.

Xu Xingyu carved the Law of Stars and the Law of Destiny into his seventh Soul Ring, but ran short of Spiritual Power before the final pattern. Buer lent him the power of the plane’s laws, helping him complete the Million-Year Soul Ring and prepare for his ascension to godhood.

• Xu Xingyu chose laws suited to his Ziwei Star Martial Soul and began carving golden patterns into his God-Given Soul Ring.
• Xu Xingyu carved patterns until the ring reached nine hundred thousand years, then discovered he lacked the Spiritual Power to complete the final one.
• Buer appeared in the Star Dragon Tower and offered Xu Xingyu the power of the plane’s laws.
• Xu Xingyu and Buer carved the final pattern together, transforming the red God-Given Soul Ring into a golden Million-Year Soul Ring.
• Xu Xingyu credited Buer as his partner in creating the third Million-Year Soul Ring in Douluo Continent history.

Xu Xingyu fused a Million-Year Soul Ring with his Ziwei Star Martial Soul and restrained its excess energy to prevent an uncontrolled breakthrough to Titled Douluo. He tested its Seventh Soul Skill, the Zi Wei Avatar, and discovered it greatly amplified his abilities while keeping him in human form.

• Xu Xingyu began fusing the Million-Year Soul Ring with his Ziwei Star Martial Soul, but its energy started condensing a Second Soul Core.
• Xu Xingyu used his Spiritual Power and Ziwei Star's laws to seal the excess energy, preventing the Second Soul Core from forming.
• Xu Xingyu released the Seventh Soul Ring's Martial Soul Avatar and became an incarnation of the Zi Wei Star while retaining his human form.
• Xu Xingyu found that the Zi Wei Avatar tripled his base attributes and Soul Skill effects, though its heavy Soul Power consumption meant breaking it could cause a severe backlash.

Xu Xingyu tested the abilities of his million-year seventh Soul Ring and discovered that it granted him powerful destiny-based skills. He left the chapter amazed by the Ziwei Star Domain, while recognizing its strict limits on daily use.

• Xu Xingyu withdrew his Martial Soul Avatar and found that activating it had consumed nearly a tenth of his Soul Power.
• Xu Xingyu discovered that his second and third Soul Skills were Sorrow of Destiny and Soul Deprivation, which could nullify Soul Power and spiritual defenses.
• Xu Xingyu used his fourth Soul Skill, Ziwei Star Domain, and found that it could restrict enemies' fortune while amplifying his allies' fortune.
• Xu Xingyu realized that his Destiny Connection with Gu Qiuxi, Buer's help with his million-year Soul Ring, and his understanding of destiny had combined to grant him the domain.
• Xu Xingyu held back from shouting that destiny was his because A Jin was watching, then sensed that he could use the Ziwei Star Domain at most three times before its charges recovered over time.

After gaining new Soul Skills, Xu Xingyu reunited with Gu Qiuxi and learned that she would accompany him on the Dragon God Nine Trials’ Third Trial. The trial would take them off the Douluo Continent to another plane to help a Dragon Clan that still believed in the Dragon God.

• Xu Xingyu finished testing his Soul Skills, and A Jin praised the extraordinary abilities he had gained.
• A Jin told Xu Xingyu that the Third Trial could not begin until another person arrived.
• Xiao Dong and Gu Qiuxi appeared at the Dragon Ascension Pillar, and Xu Xingyu reunited with them after a long separation.
• Xu Xingyu noticed how much Gu Qiuxi had grown and reflected that she had escaped the fate Tang San had planned for her.
• A Jin explained that Gu Qiuxi would accompany Xu Xingyu to another plane for the Third Trial, where they would help a Dragon Clan that still believed in the Dragon God.

Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi prepared to leave Douluo for the third Dragon God Nine Trial, using the Starry Sky Mirror to reach an unknown plane. A Jin and Xiao Dong entrusted them with the Time Dragon King and Earth Dragon King’s Dragon Cores, leaving Xu Xingyu to uncover what the trial would require.

• A Jin showed Xu Xingyu the Starry Sky Mirror and explained that it could transport him to the trial plane.
• Xiao Dong said Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi’s destination was already chosen but could not be revealed because it was related to the trial.
• A Jin and Xiao Dong gave Xu Xingyu the Dragon Cores of the original Time Dragon King and Earth Dragon King, asking him to look after their past selves.
• Xu Xingyu accepted the Dragon Cores, told Gu Qiuxi he had a rough idea of what was happening, and promised to fulfill their request.
• Xu Xingyu activated the Starry Sky Mirror, and he and Gu Qiuxi entered the unknown plane together.

Mingde Hall completed and successfully tested the Sun Moon Empire’s first Humanoid Soul Tool after Ye Haoyu proposed using mechanical mechanisms to replace some Core Arrays. Jing Hongchen and the researchers celebrated the breakthrough, while the chapter ended with them crediting Ye Haoyu for solving a problem that had stalled their research for over a century.

• Jing Hongchen oversaw the final adjustments to a fifteen-meter metal giant built with hundreds of Core Arrays and mechanical mechanisms.

• Jing Hongchen thanked Ye Haoyu for proposing that mechanisms replace some Core Arrays, reducing the Soul Power needed to control the giant.
• Mingde Hall’s researchers praised Ye Yuhao for helping complete the project and overcoming a long-standing obstacle.

Ye Haoyu presented improvements to the Humanoid Soul Tool prototype, impressing Jing Hongchen with his mechanical technology. Jing Hongchen agreed to bring Xuan Ziwen and his research team into the project, while Ye Haoyu left open the possibility of trading his family’s technology later.

• Ye Haoyu credited Mingde Hall’s researchers for the prototype’s progress, but Jing Hongchen praised his role in finding a solution to the Humanoid Soul Tool’s problems.
• Ye Haoyu gave Jing Hongchen manuscripts proposing a smaller design and a Milk Bottle power source, backed by experiments and revised drawings.
• Jing Hongchen offered to trade rare metals or Soul Tool blueprints for Ye Haoyu’s mechanical technology, and Ye Haoyu asked for time to consider because his family had forbidden sharing it.
• Ye Haoyu proposed involving Xuan Ziwen and his team, whose work on Sealed Milk Bottles aligned with the project.
• Jing Hongchen approved Xuan Ziwen’s participation, and he and Ye Haoyu agreed on the research arrangements.

Ye Haoyu secretly left Sun Moon Royal Academy and revealed himself as Huo Yuhao, the Holy Spirit Cult’s Holy Son. He continued pursuing power and revenge, determined to destroy the White Tiger Family and surpass Xu Xingyu.

• Mingde Hall’s female researchers admired Ye Haoyu, who rejected their romantic confessions and maintained a disciplined public routine.
• Ye Haoyu returned to his dormitory, used a puppet to maintain the appearance that he was meditating, and concealed himself to leave the academy.
• Ye Haoyu traveled to the Holy Spirit Cult’s Mingdu branch, where two priests greeted him as the Holy Son.
• Ye Haoyu transformed into Huo Yuhao and told the priests to rise so they could continue their work.
• Huo Yuhao reflected on his resentment toward Shrek and Xu Xingyu, his use of the Holy Spirit Cult’s cultivation methods, and his ambition to complete the Holy King Nine Trials.

Huo Yuhao brought the First Holy Spirit and the Second Holy Spirit to the branch's altar, where he reflected on how the Holy Spirit Cult's attempts to control him had failed. He planned to use his research on Yu Mengdi to create a way to turn people into obedient puppets, leaving the details of his scheme yet to be revealed.

• The First Holy Spirit opened a concealed passage beneath the church, and the group descended to the branch's altar.
• Huo Yuhao recalled that his fused Dark Demon Ice Evil Tiger Martial Soul made him immune to the cult's poison, so he only pretended to obey its commands.
• Huo Yuhao saw Yu Mengdi, whose Angel Martial Soul had mutated into a Fallen Angel after he used her as a sacrifice.
• The Holy Spirit Cult studied Yu Mengdi in hopes of turning other Soul Masters into Evil Soul Masters, while Huo Yuhao secretly sought to make them obedient puppets.
• Huo Yuhao used his studies at Mingde Hall to learn about medicinal ingredients and Soul Tools, intending to create a device that could administer his potion to many people.

Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi arrived on the snow mountain where the Dragon God Nine Trials would take place and discovered that the new world had changed how their cultivation worked. Xu Xingyu demonstrated his control of the six elements and offered to help Gu Qiuxi adjust to using her Soul Skills.

• Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi arrived on the snow mountain and discussed how the plane had changed their bodies and cultivation systems.
• Gu Qiuxi released a black-and-white crown marked with six stars, while Xu Xingyu released a similar crown marked with eight stars.
• Xu Xingyu explained that their Soul Skills remained within them as imprints, but they had to control the skills themselves without Soul Rings.
• Xu Xingyu argued that cultivating without Soul Rings could encourage humans to create their own skills, though Gu Qiuxi warned that it could undermine cooperation between humans and Soul Beasts.
• Xu Xingyu demonstrated his precise control over the water, fire, wind, earth, light, and dark elements, then offered to guide Gu Qiuxi as she practiced.

Xu Xingyu trained Gu Qiuxi to use her skills without Soul Rings and investigated the strange island where they were trapped. Their exploration ended when Gu Qiuxi discovered a person encased in a pillar of ice.

• Xu Xingyu observed that their new power was tied to elemental energy, while Gu Qiuxi learned she could use both Ultimate Yang Fire and Ultimate Yin Fire.
• Xu Xingyu surveyed the island, finding eighteen layers of varied terrain and five mountains guarded by Demigod-level experts.
• Xu Xingyu concluded that a God Level expert had sealed the island inside a spatial prison and that powerful beasts ruled most of it.
• Gu Qiuxi called Xu Xingyu over and pointed to a huge pillar of ice formed where she had melted ice during practice, with a person trapped inside.

Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi freed a living woman from an Ultimate yang ice prison and discovered she was A Jin from the past, confirming that the Starry Sky Mirror had sent them through time. Xu Xingyu restored her spirit and life energy, and A Jin woke to ask who they were.

• Xu Xingyu found a woman in golden armor sealed in ice and discovered her heart was still beating.
• Xu Xingyu used the Fire of Spirit to melt the Ultimate yang ice while neutralizing its Yang Qi and repairing the woman's consciousness.
• Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi saw that the woman looked exactly like A Jin, only younger.
• Xu Xingyu realized the woman was A Jin from the past and that the Starry Sky Mirror had sent them through time.
• Xu Xingyu used the Fire of Spirit and Gold of Life to revive A Jin while Gu Qiuxi stood guard.
• A Jin opened her eyes and asked Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi who they were.

Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi freed Ya Lin'er from the ice, but she had lost much of her memory and was too weak to move. As Xu Xingyu carried her to find a warmer place, Ya Lin'er felt a strange reaction to his bloodline, while Gu Qiuxi grew jealous of their closeness.

• Ya Lin'er told Xu Xingyu and Gu Qiuxi that she remembered only her surname, so Xu Xingyu named her Ya Lin'er.
• Ya Lin'er was unable to stand, and Xu Xingyu picked her up to search for a warmer place where she could recover.
• Ya Lin'er felt embarrassed and wary as Xu Xingyu carried her, but she accepted his help because her body was weak.
• Ya Lin'er felt her bloodline react strangely to Xu Xingyu, then suffered a sudden headache that Xu Xingyu eased with light element.
• Gu Qiuxi teased Xu Xingyu for carrying Ya Lin'er so comfortably, and Xu Xingyu realized she was jealous.

Xu Xingyu learned that he and Gu Qiuxi had rare balanced Yin Yang Crowns and concluded they were on Sacred and Evil Island in the world of God of Wine. As the group encountered a young man fighting a Nether Yin Demon Wolf, Xu Xingyu accidentally killed the beast and revealed himself.

• Xu Xingyu, Gu Qiuxi, and Ya Lin'er discussed the world's Magic Power cultivation system and learned that balanced Yin Yang Crowns were considered a useless constitution.
• Ya Lin'er explained the ten yin and yang five-element attributes and revealed that her ultimate Xin Metal attribute was exceptionally rare.
• Xu Xingyu recognized the world as God of Wine and considered searching for Jidong to find a way to the Earth Core World and the Purifying Flame Hong Lian.
• A young man and woman fought a sixth-tier Nether Yin Demon Wolf as blue flames made it turn transparent and the young man attacked it with black flames.
• Xu Xingyu's purple-gold light pierced the demon wolf's heart, and he stepped forward to apologize to the young man for stealing his prey.

Xu Xingyu explained that the Star Soul Pearl had acted on its own to defeat the Nether Yin Demon Wolf and copy its God-Slaying Strike skill. Its intervention made Ji Dong and his companion wary, so Xu Xingyu needed to earn their trust to reach the Earth Core World.

• Xu Xingyu realized that Ji Dong could have defeated the Nether Yin Demon Wolf without help and explained that the Star Soul Pearl had attacked it independently.
• Xu Xingyu described the Star Soul Pearl’s attack, analysis, and storage functions, including the secret realms and knowledge held within it.
• The Star Soul Pearl analyzed and copied the Nether Yin Demon Wolf’s God-Slaying Strike, a layered magic-compression skill with a potential Creation God Skill derivative.
• Xu Xingyu recognized Ji Dong as the plane’s son and understood that the pearl’s intervention made Ji Dong and his companion suspect he wanted the beast’s crystal core.
• Xu Xingyu decided he needed to dispel their wariness because he still depended on Ji Dong to reach the Earth Core World.
