  1. Thanks for the chapter!
    When Tang San and company need to leave it will be super awkward its like someone winning the presidency elections and then goes back to his hometown to solve a problem that annoyed him, the seagod doulous won’t be thrilled with his choice.

  2. Could Tang San pull out Seagod’s Trident, pass the seventh trial successfully and become the owner it? Please read the next volume, ‘Seagod’s Trident’.

    lol… please say this was in the original and TJSS was just being silly

    also since when did the “Infernal Precious Apricot” and “Mysterious Octagonal Ice Grass” become “eyes”?

  3. That’s a surprising amount of information we just got all at once. It makes me more curious about what happened to his great grandfather, though. I’m also wondering how old he is.

    • Yes it was a lot of information. I had speculations, but not quite to this extent. Especially the inheritance of the Seraphim and Seagod. The fact that Tang Chen got to level 99 Title Douluo on his own strength, is quite a surprise when the other two couldn’t. this makes me think that Tang San will be able to be come level 99 as well. Because of the whole faith aspect.

  4. Thanks for this chap. This is probably the most enjoyable chapters in recent weeks, cos it doesn’t involve pis and boundless wisdom from tangsan. I can already spot similarities between dd and coiling dragon (not saying one Copied the other) like another plane of existence for deities, paragons(level 99 TD) and sovereigns(gods), could go on. its quite enjoyable when u realise how wide the dd world is at the moment compared to how it was in the first 150 chaps

  6. So if you want to become a god, you need massive amounts of faith? Then where the hell would Tang Sans ancestor get that faith from? Just the faith from the people of the Clear Sky Clan would probably be insuficient…. The only place I could imagine that is not controled by Spirit Hall, and where people whorship a sort of god, would be Slaughter City (that would also explain why the Deathgod domain fits so well with the Clear Sky Hammer, and why in the manwha chapter 139 we saw a human shaped figure submerged in the blood sea)… but then again Tang San destroyed Slaughter City, so that would mean he killed his own great grandfather… shit happens I guess xD

The chapters of late explaining tang san and his boundless wisdom and abilities whilst leaving the remaing shrek “monsters” in the blurry backdrop makes me sad… But then I wouldn’t be complaining if I never met this amazing novel.

    • This is not manga, it`s a fantasy-based story, game-based to be precise because it`s all about level, tactics and hard work of Tang San, he`s the main hero and the other just a party along the way (no hope of being rival, yesterday boss enemy is today ally or just creep enemy). Though I admit of how blurry Tang`s previous life setting`s existence is. Cause it`s not from Douluo Dalu. And probably wont be mentioned throughout story.

    Bagelson hasn’t translated this novel for a month and doesn’t care to update us on whether or not a chapter will be posted. He writes paragraphs on reddit but he doesn’t feel the need to let us know a chapter won’t be coming out. It takes less than a minute, but apparently that’s too much time for him.

    • Bagelson has been on this since day one and he has no obligatin to tell us shit. He does this of his own validation sacrificing his free time for us. If he would take money for it or something then sure I can see why you would feel like you can complain but this does not apply here.

      Just look at how long this has been going palnty of people would have alredy droped this. I have see it so many times already when people just leave a translacion for various reasons (ranging from real life to jsut not beeing able to stang the comments that people were psoting). If you ask me then Bagle has every right to do what he wants (obviosly I hope that he will not drop this but still).

              • Sure, he was being unnecessarily rude about it, but it gets annoying when almost every complaint is swept aside with a comment of the poster being entitled. No, we aren’t entitled to a chapter being updated or a comment saying that a chapter won’t be released, but it bothers me how many people attack those that complain about something that can be solved simply. Why can’t Bagelson let us know when he isn’t going to post a chapter? It isn’t like he is so busy that he doesn’t have a single minute to post here. I think everyone here understands that real life is more important than translating this novel, but a lot of people expect a chapter on the usual release date. If you aren’t going to post a chapter, then say so. I wouldn’t fault Bagel for taking weeks off of translating, but I would appreciate a heads up so I don’t get my hopes up for the resolution of a cliffhanger only to be disappointed when there is nothing to read. A little communication goes a long way. I think we would have a lot less negative comments if Bagel simply stated, “no chapter this week.”.

                    A little empathy will also help. These translators have RL issues of their own and this translation is probably not the first thing on their mind. Hence if you think this is unacceptable and you want regular/faster translations, please pay for it and support the Mandarin to English translation community.

                    • I used to be on the side of the white knights, but recently I don’t bother looking at the site more than once a month. The author is done with this particular novel and there are two sequels that have spoilers to this novel with translations out. I appreciate Bagel, however Bagel is slow; Bagel holds up the community you speak of from taking this project on. I’m not sure what you mean by supporting the community. How does that help if Bagel remains a one-man-show (or at least the bottleneck)? The only options I see are legit professional pay-to-translate, or spending a really long time (and probably money) learning the language … or speaking out so Bagel and the community know we’re dissatisfied.

                      Yes, it’s great that he’s doing us all a favor by translating, but he’s also doing it 100% on his terms, no compromise. He’s read to the end; he doesn’t have any cliffhangers. He knows half of us will throw a fit if we have to F5 all weekend and end up with nothing, but he does it anyway. Just because someone’s doing you a favor doesn’t mean the conditions aren’t worth complaining over.

                      Say a painter says he’ll paint your house for free, and he comes and does your north wall, and then you don’t see him for a month. Other painters would have done it for a small fee but won’t because this one painter called dibs. Your options are: pay an expensive contractor; or do it yourself (but you don’t have the materials or the tools and you don’t really know how). Are you going to complain?

Try to step back and understand what it would feel like if you were in those shoes, not just for a few weeks, but every week for a couple of years. I think this was a hobby for bagelson, and the idea that he should have to report in makes it sound more like a job.

    • I don’t think most people are upset with the translators taking a break. Most of the comments I’ve read are people asking for Bagelson to let people know when he isn’t going to be posting a chapter for the week. It barely takes any time to post a comment or even put out a post letting us know what’s going on. An old translator, piggybottle, once commented that he had already translated a chapter but nothing was posted that week and Bagelson didn’t even communicate with him about it. Yeah, he’s doing us a favor by translating this novel, but communicating isn’t hard.

  20. While complaining about the speed of releases is a bit tactless, at the same time due to the translator community being so close nit as it is, other translators won’t pick up something until it’s been officially abandoned by its current translator. Sometimes when you’re burned out or just no longer have the time, it’s better to just give up rather than put in a half hearted effort and let someone else take over completely, which for something as popular as DD would happen quite quickly I would think.

    And I understand ArmoredRaven has taken up the reins but in the end it still goes through bagelson, who has on occasion not posted chapters despite being ready until a week later without any reason given, which to me seems disrespectful not to us fans but rather to the person who put in the actual work and effort into translating it expecting it to be posted. I mean how much time and effort does it take to post?
