Chapter Summaries

Arrogance searched for Death Emissary while destroying Demon Beacons, and Perfect Life realized the deaths in Gen City were feeding the enemy’s power. After Hell Envoy unleashed a final attack on the civilians, Perfect Life summoned a city-spanning Yin-Yang Fish Bagua to intervene.

• Arrogance sensed Death Emissary nearby but could not locate it, so he continued sealing Demon Beacons as Jiang Yuan watched with renewed hope.
• Perfect Life recognized that deaths and demonic assimilation in Gen City were producing power for Death Emissary, and he decided to help Lu Ce.
• Arrogance cut down Hell Envoy, which plunged its hands into the ground before being pinned by his axe.
• Hell Envoy’s attack sent spikes bursting through Gen City, killing civilians and spreading demonic pollution.
• Perfect Life rushed to a chosen location and summoned a vast Yin-Yang Fish Bagua phantom over the city.

Perfect Life, Chiyo Eon, and Pride stopped the demonic disaster in Gen City and sealed it with the reunited beacon halves. Pride received the city's acclaim, leaving Perfect Life resentful that he and the others had done the work while Pride got the glory.

• Perfect Life activated an enormous Eight Trigrams formation that cleansed Gen City of thorns and calmed the ground, but he sensed the danger was not over.
• Pride killed the Hell Envoy and collected half of the beacon as the demon's blood rose into the sky and formed dark clouds over Gen City.

• Jiang Yuan cheered for the Holy Lord as the crowd focused on Pride, and Perfect Life grumbled that the others had done the work while Pride took the glory.

Pride became known as the Holy Lord after saving Gen City, while the city's survivors poured golden energy into him. As Perfect Life approached to discuss the game, Pride rejected cooperation and addressed the hidden Death Emissary and other listeners.

• Jiang Yuan and the New Saints led Gen City's survivors in hailing Pride as the Holy Lord, spreading his name throughout the city.

• Pride silenced Gen City with a gesture and announced that he had something to say to those hiding away.

Lu Ce, presenting himself as the Holy Lord, summoned the Saints and demons hiding in Gen City and challenged the absent Death Emissary. As his seal neared completion, Xie Antong appeared as the only demon in the city and answered him from afar.

• Lu Ce silenced the city and ordered the Saints and demons to reveal themselves.
• Perfect Life used an Eight Trigrams diagram to locate every Saint hiding in the city.
• The Saints hesitated to approach Lu Ce, while Jiang Yuan and the New Saints watched them warily.
• Lu Ce said he had originally planned to kill the Saints, then invited them to change factions and carry a taunt to the Death Emissary.
• Lu Ce warned that his seal would soon be completed, and Xie Antong appeared at the city’s edge as the only demon present.

Xie Antong challenged Arrogance, warning that the faction conversion could assimilate saints into demons but not demons into saints, before Arrogance cut down her decoy. Arrogance and the New Saints then swept through the cities, slaughtering demons and civilians as golden energy flowed toward Sin, making it seem as though his apotheosis ritual were underway.

• Xie Antong questioned whether Arrogance could really win and pointed out that the faction conversion only turned saints into demons.
• Arrogance hurled his Extreme Path Battle Axe at Xie Antong, but her body collapsed into green smoke, revealing it was a decoy.

• Lu Ce traveled between cities with the Extreme Path Battle Axe while the New Saints and demons fought across all eight cities.
• Perfect Life saw golden energy from the populace converge on Sin as the cities filled with corpses and the slaughter intensified.

Lu Ce, as Arrogance, defeated another Hell Envoy in Qian City and claimed the beacon while the city's survivors worshipped him as the Holy Lord. Perfect Life's divination then revealed that Sin's chances of death had overtaken his chances of life, signaling his defeat.

• Arrogance pinned the weakened octopus-like Hell Envoy against Qian City's central tower as it drained people and demons for strength.
• Perfect Life sensed Sin's overwhelming aura and wondered whether the golden currents around him came from the city's faith.
• Arrogance pried the beacon pieces from the Hell Envoy and planted them at a crossroads, prompting the crowd to cry out for the Holy Lord.
• Perfect Life used his Bagua to divine Sin's fate and saw the omen shift toward death, showing signs of defeat.

Perfect Life’s Bagua showed that sealing more Demon Beacons was increasing Sin’s chances of defeat, so he stopped Pride from heading to the next city. Pride heard the warning and smiled at the possibility of a deadly trap.

• Perfect Life checked his Bagua and saw that Sin’s probability of failure was rising despite the sealing of six cities.
• Jiang Yuan returned and reported that Zhen City had been sealed, bringing the total to six of eight Demon Beacons.
• Pride rejected Jiang Yuan’s suggestion to rest and prepared to leave for the next city with the Extreme Path Battle Axe.
• Perfect Life grabbed Pride’s shoulder and warned that sealing more cities seemed to lower their chance of winning.
• Pride smiled and asked whether the trap Perfect Life described might kill him.

Perfect Life warned Sin that the seals were worsening his odds, but Sin embraced the challenge and ordered the Saints to attack the last two cities before nightfall. Meanwhile, the Death Emissary awoke stronger and watched the seals advance, amused by Sin’s confidence.

• Perfect Life told Sin that the sixth city’s sealing had sharply reduced his chances and warned that the Saints were hastening their own defeat.
• Jiang Yuan and the New Saints insisted that the Holy Lord could not fail, while Perfect Life accused them of blindly relying on him.
• Sin acknowledged that he might lose, then erupted into laughter and said he looked forward to seeing how it happened.
• Sin learned that the remaining cities were Kun and Li and ordered the Saints to deal with both before nightfall.
• The Death Emissary awoke stronger, noticed the seals progressing quickly, and laughed at the thought that Sin believed he was about to win.

The Death Emissary appeared in Kun City and killed a New Saint while Xie Antong confronted them, using the overclocked All-Knowing Eye to reveal knowledge she should not have had. With seven of eight cities sealed, Xie Antong proposed preparing a way to snatch defeat from the approaching victors.

• The Death Emissary watched the battle in Li City and blamed Perfect Life for weakening them by protecting the citizens.
• The Death Emissary entered Kun City, where a New Saint was evacuating citizens, and decapitated him before consuming and destroying his head.
• Xie Antong appeared behind the Death Emissary and asked whether they would die too, then explained that the All-Knowing Eye was analyzing everything at full overclock.
• The Death Emissary warned Xie Antong not to overstep, while she suggested that anything related to Pain should die.
• A golden beam announced that seven of eight cities had been sealed, and Xie Antong proposed preparing a surprise defeat for the approaching group.

Xie Antong’s deductions unsettled Death Emissary, which exposed and struck down her All-Knowing Eyes before leaving. As the forces gathered for the final battle in Kun City, Lu Ce confronted Death Emissary, and the chapter ended with a golden battle axe flying at it.

• Xie Antong deduced that Death Emissary had a hidden advantage, but it denied knowing anything and questioned how she knew so much.
• Death Emissary revealed three invisible All-Knowing Eyes with a burst of divine might, disrupting Xie Antong and warning her not to act recklessly.
• Xie Antong realized she still could not identify Death Emissary’s decisive trump card and wondered whether Perfect Life could stop Lu Ce from rushing into a trap.
• Pride, Perfect Life, the New Saints, Spirit Speaker—Bai, and other players gathered in Kun City for the endgame battle, while Sin’s win rate fell below ten percent.
• Death Emissary summoned a giant death dragon as Xie Antong, Sun, and the other Demon Players assembled against the Saints.
• Lu Ce challenged Death Emissary to use its method for turning defeat into victory, and a golden battle axe struck toward it before it could finish its threat.

Lu Ce used the Chaotic Chain to subject himself and the Death Emissary to unpredictable effects while attacking her with his Extreme Path Battle Axe. As the battle continued, Jiang Yuan warned him that the seven cities in the rear seemed to be in trouble.

• Lu Ce activated the Chaotic Chain as his axe flew toward the Death Emissary, and its lightning effect briefly paralyzed them both.
• Lu Ce charged the Death Emissary, and their weapons clashed before the Chaotic Chain caused black thorns to erupt from both fighters.
• The Death Emissary severed her own arm to escape the Chaotic Chain, but Lu Ce’s chain latched onto her other hand.
• Jiang Yuan broke away from fighting Sun to warn Lu Ce that the seven cities in the rear seemed to be having problems.

As City Destruction Progress rose, Arrogance and the others realized Death Emissary’s apparent betrayal plot was not the feared killing method they had expected. Death Emissary grew furious at their confidence, while Arrogance still awaited the hidden trump card.

• Lu Ce saw City Destruction Progress climb from thirty to thirty-one percent as deaths and destruction accelerated.
• Xie Antong said that betrayal from within had always been a serious problem, while Death Emissary tried to break free from Chaotic Chain.
• Jiang Yuan denounced the traitors, but Arrogance showed disappointment and accused Death Emissary of relying only on planted killers to gain power.
• Perfect Life arrived beside Lu Ce, warned that Death Emissary’s method might be unrelated, and asked for help; Chiyo Eon went to the cities and sent out seven self-clones.
• Perfect Life said Arrogance’s odds remained low and that Death Emissary’s trump card was still hidden, prompting Arrogance to ask Death Emissary about it.
• Death Emissary became enraged at Arrogance’s apparent confidence, while Xie Antong thought Arrogance saw Death Emissary only as a stepping stone.

Arrogance forced Death Emissary into a desperate fight while the New Saints secured the two halves of the final beacon. Xie Antong and Perfect Life each pieced together the truth and stopped the beacon from sealing the city, leaving Death Emissary exposed as Arrogance promised to cooperate.

• Xie Antong watched from the outskirts as Arrogance provoked Death Emissary into a direct clash.
• Death Emissary severed its arm to redirect Chaotic Chain toward Candle Dragon, but Arrogance’s bracelet triggered the chain’s attack and Lu Ce blocked the resulting blade with his axe.
• Perfect Life restrained Candle Dragon’s head while Jiang Yuan split it with her transformed sword, revealing half of the beacon; Lu Ce joined it with the other half.
• Xie Antong and Perfect Life struck the beacon away from the sealing point after each pieced together the answer, drawing the New Saints’ anger and Death Emissary’s attention.
• Arrogance told Death Emissary that it had revealed itself and promised to cooperate with it.

Perfect Life deduced that sealing the final Demon Beacon would trigger the Death Emissary's reversal and leave the group with less than a five percent chance of winning. Arrogance seized the beacon and sealed it anyway, then told the Death Emissary to begin his performance.

• Xie Antong kicked the beacon toward Perfect Life and urged the Sun to join the fight before it was sealed.
• Perfect Life grabbed the beacon and explained that the city-combination divination was reversed, so the closer they came to victory, the likelier the Death Emissary was to turn their advantages against them.
• Lu Ce asked the Death Emissary whether Perfect Life's deduction was correct, but the Death Emissary stayed silent.
• Arrogance ordered Perfect Life to let go, snatched the beacon, and flew to the city's sealing landmark.
• Arrogance sealed the final Demon Beacon, then told the Death Emissary, "You can start performing now."

The eight sealed beacons activated and reversed the factions, turning everyone into Saints except Lu Ce, who became the last Demon. Death Emissary emerged as the Holy Lord and taunted Lu Ce as the world was restored.

• Death Emissary was struck by the light from the eight beacons as the cities twisted and merged.
• The light split apart and enveloped Lu Ce, while it changed the demon faction players into Saints.
• Lu Ce realized the reversal had singled him out, leaving him the only Demon among the Saints.
• The world was restored, and Death Emissary revealed that he was now the Holy Lord.
• Lu Ce checked his game panel and found that all eight beacons were sealed and he could no longer summon or assimilate demons.

Death Emissary used divine music to rewrite the people’s memories, turning the world against Pride and declaring himself the true Holy Lord. As Judgment Angels, the saints, and the eight cities prepared to attack, Black Knight arrived beside Lu Ce and admitted he was tempted to join them.

• Jiang Yuan called Pride the Holy Lord and asked for his orders, but Death Emissary revealed that the demons were Judgment Angels.
• Jiang Yuan insisted that the Holy Lord’s identity came from the world’s choice, and Death Emissary answered by telling a story through mind-altering divine music.

• The people across the eight cities turned against Pride, while the Judgment Angels and saints gathered for a final crusade.
• Black Knight stopped beside Lu Ce and complained that he was starting to want to join Death Emissary’s side.

The Death Emissary turned the sky to noon, empowered her followers, and ordered a New Saint to kill Pride, who embraced the title of Demon King and fought back. After the angels overwhelmed him, Pride unleashed a golden explosion and entered an overloaded state, leaving the Death Emissary facing his rising power.

• Pride emerged with his golden mask fused to his face, his aura surging as he called the Death Emissary to fight.

Pride overloaded and charged the Death Emissary, cutting through the angels and meeting Him in the sky. Though Pride was initially driven back, his ability made his strength rise against his opponent, prompting the Death Emissary to call on the New Saints to attack.

• Pride's All Beings Are Equal, Beneath Me! ability raised his strength, and the Death Emissary ordered the New Saints to move.

Jiang Yuan watched the New Saints turn against Pride under Death Emissary’s command, torn by the choices forced upon the dead. As Pride fought off the siege, Jiang Yuan finally attacked Death Emissary and declared that the sun and moon had been reversed.

• The New Saints charged Pride after Death Emissary ordered them to attack, while Jiang Yuan struggled to stop them.

As their deaths shook the battlefield, Lu Ce resumed his attack on the Death Emissary and ordered Jiang Yuan to get out of the way if he was going to cry.

• Jiang Yuan remembered the Death Emissary’s claim that the sun and moon would never be reversed, then declared that he wanted to kill it.
