Chapter Summaries

After dying in a wildfire, Ye Yang was reborn as ordinary Blue Silver Grass in the Douluo World and activated a system that let him copy skills and devour energy. He began absorbing the roots around him and reached the threshold to become a one-year Soul Beast.

When the system detected a Hundred-Year Demon Eye Demon Tree, Ye Yang approached it in hopes of gaining strength, and the tree opened more than a hundred eyes.

• Ye Yang spent system points to strengthen his devouring ability, doubling his roots and draining the energy of nearby grasses.

• The Demon Eye Demon Tree pleaded for its life and identified itself as the Myriad Demon King’s son.

Ye Yang devoured the Myriad Demon King’s hundred-year-old child, taking its remaining sap and powerful bloodline while increasing his own Soul Power and evolution points. When the Myriad Demon King searched for the killer, Ye Yang blamed humans with hammer Martial Souls, prompting the king to mobilize plant Soul Beasts against the Clear Sky Sect.

• Ye Yang realized the Demon Eye Demon Tree had survived in the core region because it was the child of the 530,000-year-old Myriad Demon King.
• Ye Yang spent 300 points to accelerate his devouring, consuming the Demon Eye Demon Tree’s remaining Soul Power, sap, soul, and spirit as his evolution points rose to 29.

Ye Yang contacted the Blue Silver Emperor and learned that she had taken human form sixteen years ago and had not yet met Tang Hao. She came to find him at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest’s core zone, where her life force revived the plants around them.

• Her life force restored the withered plants and revitalized Ye Yang, who revealed himself by waving a leaf.

• Ye Yang listed the man's supposed disloyalty, lack of filial piety, cruelty, unrighteousness, and untrustworthiness, then warned the Blue Silver Emperor that humans who used hammers were the worst.

• Ye Yang found a rare tail Soul Bone on the Mandala Snake and celebrated his luck.
• The Blue Silver Emperor rushed to help when Ye Yang screamed, but found no injury and comforted him as he lamented being unable to use the bone before becoming human.

Ah Yin and Tang Xiao held back as Tang Hao leaped at Ye Yang with an enlarged Clear Sky Hammer, leaving the battle on the brink of another collision.
