Chapter Summaries

Sophia and Sophina killed Soa and his son after rejecting their pleas, while Su Shijie discovered the pair belonged to a mysterious organization and watched the sisters grow stronger. The group reached the Great Dog Black Market, where Su Shijie prepared to sell ordinary demigod goods and kept their Demigod Armor for protection.

• Sophia and Sophina chose to deal with Soa and his son themselves, and Su Shijie loosened the pair’s Domain Field so the sisters could grow stronger while fighting them.
• Su Shijie discovered that Soa and his son belonged to the mysterious organization, whose influence within the Sky Feather Race was weaker than among the Elf Race.
• Sophia and Sophina said they needed to become bad women, and Su Shijie dragged Ivona away after she teased them about it.
• Su Shijie sorted the resources and Demigod Armor taken from the two demigods and kept a Divinity Scroll for a possible breakthrough.
• The group arrived at the Great Dog Black Market, where Su Shijie gave Sophia, Sophina, and Ivona three sets of Demigod Armor and prepared to sell ordinary goods.

Su Shijie and his companions explored the Great Dog Black Market, where he deposited ordinary spoils and arranged to trade them for a large supply of goods. The market agreed to gather his order over ten days, leaving Su Shijie to wait for the bulk commodities he needed.

• Su Shijie and his companions followed the market guides and discovered that the Great Dog Black Market offered extensive, carefully regulated trading services.
• Su Shijie kept several high-value items but deposited other spoils in storage and received Level 11 VIP service from operator Xiaomei.
• Su Shijie gave Xiaomei a list of medicinal ingredients and other common goods he needed in enormous quantities.
• Xiaomei explained that gathering the goods quickly would incur steep premiums and offered lower rates for longer collection periods.
• Su Shijie chose a ten-day collection period and declined Xiaomei's offer of accommodation and a personal tour.

Su Shijie collected his goods at the Great Dog Black Market, declined expensive intelligence about a Shattered Divine Kingdom, and traveled toward Abyss's Dark Dominion in Canis Major. During the journey, he completed the accumulation for Evolutionary Tier Nine and compiled all his known classes.

• Su Shijie relaxed in the black market hotel while waiting for his transaction to be completed.

• Ivona locked the ship's coordinates for Abyss's Dark Dominion, and Su Shijie completed his accumulation for Evolutionary Tier Nine and compiled all his known classes.

After reaching late Evolutionary Tier Nine, Su Shijie assessed his power and the remaining gap between himself and a False God. He arrived at Abyss, the Dark Dominion’s black-hole-bound planet, intending to sell a God’s Emissary’s collection and seek ways to aid his transcendence.

• Su Shijie reflected that his immense scale let him suppress nearly anyone below a True God, but he still lacked the qualitative transformations that distinguished False Gods.
• He considered Nan Mingxi’s long wait to transcend and kept the Bright Divine Realm as a last resort because using it might reveal his identity.
• Su Shijie’s spacecraft exited warp near Abyss, a massive rocky planet orbiting a black hole and home to the Dark Dominion.
• The spacecraft descended through Abyss toward the fissure leading to Abyssal City, where the most valuable goods and strongest traders gathered.
• Su Shijie planned to sell the collection of a God’s Emissary, buy professions, and acquire items that could improve his chances of reaching transcendence.

Su Shijie and his companions arrived in Abyssal City and bought basic intelligence from the agency Information. The report explained the ranks of True Gods and revealed the strength of the city’s ruler, Lucifer the Fallen.

• Su Shijie entered Abyssal City, learned its basic rules, and observed that its spatial-temporal distortion reduced contamination and improved sanity.
• Ivona suggested visiting Information, and Su Shijie went there with his companions in concealing cloaks.
• Ivona requested intelligence on Abyssal City's customs, True God classifications, recent events, breakthrough aids, and places to buy class formulas for twelve thousand Flame Coins.
• Su Shijie learned that False Gods could cultivate toward Weak Divine Power, while bloodline level and other factors shaped a True God's potential.
• The report identified Saint Sony as a Weak Divine Power and Lucifer the Fallen as an Intermediate Divine Power whose Fallen authority made him exceptionally formidable.

After studying information about true gods, Su Shijie visited Abyssal City Hall and bought more than three hundred professions associated with contamination. He then arrived at Treasure Pavilion, where a speaking beast statue greeted him at the entrance.

• Su Shijie considered the power and likely divine ranks of several gods, including Aimu, Douglas, Wodashir, and Lucifer the Fallen.
• Su Shijie left his companions aboard the ship and went to City Hall to purchase profession formulas.
• A Hoofed Race staff member warned Su Shijie that the formulas could contain errors, and he browsed the city's selection of more than twenty thousand professions.
• Su Shijie bought all three hundred-plus professions marked as related to contamination, including Spirit Caller and other risky specializations.
• Su Shijie went to Treasure Pavilion and sensed that its treasure-chest-shaped branch contained a divine artifact.
• A speaking little beast statue at the entrance asked Su Shijie not to stare at it, and he replied that he was admiring the pavilion.

Su Shijie explored the Treasure Pavilion’s branch, where he learned about a divine artifact on display and brought two unfamiliar treasures in for appraisal. The appraiser explained their uses and warned him that selling them elsewhere could draw unwanted attention.

• Su Shijie entered the Treasure Pavilion and found its vast mall stocked with everyday goods as well as rare treasures.
• Su Shijie discovered that viewing the Spear of Gilshus required a transaction volume of one million Treasure Coins, so he decided to sell valuable items.
• Su Shijie took a Divine Crystal Stone and a Divine Essence Shell to a private appraisal room, where a Rabbit Race appraiser recognized them.
• The appraiser explained that Divine Crystal Stones replenished divine artifacts and Divine Essence Shells nourished God's Thoughts, then offered one hundred thousand Treasure Coins per item.
• The appraiser warned Su Shijie that taking the items elsewhere could cause trouble because their origins might attract attention.

Su Shijie brought rare goods to Treasure Pavilion and asked to barter them for breakthrough aids, secret professions, and potentially a divine artifact. After seeing the scale of his stockpile, the pavilion offered him information about a mission involving a Divine Kingdom Fragment.

• Su Shijie rejected a cash sale and asked for a list of breakthrough aids and secret professions he could obtain through barter.
• The Rabbit Race appraiser showed Su Shijie Treasure Pavilion’s catalog, and he ordered one set of every item he did not already have.
• Su Shijie handed over a Space Ring for appraisal, prompting the startled appraiser to call her supervisor.
• A top-tier demigod from Treasure Pavilion explained that a statue outside depicted a senior of its race who had failed to ascend to godhood.
• Su Shijie asked whether his goods could buy the divine artifact outside, and the demigod said their value was about one-tenth of an artifact’s but offered information about a related mission involving a Divine Kingdom Fragment.

Su Shijie learned that a collapsing Divine Kingdom Fragment might contain Divine Abominations, divine power, and valuable remnants, then decided to join the salvage mission. While waiting for the Great Dog Empire and Abyssal City to recover the fragment, he stocked up on supplies and began testing the 121 items he had prepared to break through to the extraordinary.

• Amu told Su Shijie that the fragment belonged to an unknown god who had fallen over a million years ago and warned that dangerous creatures, possibly Divine Abominations, might inhabit it.
• Su Shijie learned that divine remnants and other treasures could be found inside, and decided the risks were worth taking.
• Su Shijie bought supplies at Treasure Pavilion, arranged to be notified when the fragment was salvaged, and returned to his spaceship.
• Su Shijie explained the situation to the three beauties, then began secluded cultivation with 121 auxiliary items to test the extraordinary barrier.

After using Mind-Clearing Grass, Su Shijie realized that his path to transcendence was tied to regrets from his past and that he needed to resolve them. He decided he would likely have to return to the Milky Way Galaxy, then left to join the Treasure Pavilion’s expedition to the Shattered Divine Kingdom.

• Su Shijie reflected on memories of past regrets and realized that making up for them was central to his path to transcendence.
• He considered possible ways to resolve his regrets, including strengthening the Earth Federation and dealing with traitors, the Runan Marquis brothers, and enslaved humans.

• After learning that the Shattered Divine Kingdom would be salvaged in about two days, Su Shijie accepted the Treasure Pavilion’s offer of spatial transfer.
• Su Shijie instructed Ivona and the other two to wait aboard the spaceship, then left for the Treasure Chest Hut.

Su Shijie joined a group of powerful demigods preparing to enter a Shattered Divine Kingdom, where he hoped to learn whether his contamination could absorb what it found inside. After meeting three formidable Fallen Angels and traveling with Amu to a Treasure Pavilion branch near the salvage site, the group prepared to continue toward their destination.

• Amu welcomed Su Shijie into Treasure Chest Hut, where he waited with several powerful demigods before three Fallen Angels arrived.
• Angel questioned Su Shijie's unfamiliar identity, and Duo Bloodblade and Duo Panda pressed him about why he was hiding it.
• Su Shijie implied that he shared the others' purpose, while Angel mistakenly assumed he was interested in her.
• Amu asked the group to maintain harmony and used a Divine Crystal Stone to transport them from Abyssal City.
• Su Shijie and the others emerged at a Treasure Pavilion branch in the Great Dog Empire's largest trade star system, about a day from the salvage site.

Su Shijie and Amu arrived at the Shattered Divine Kingdom after three gods anchored it and opened a passage. Su Shijie entered the ruined, corrupted realm and headed toward the strongest corruption and Spacetime Fluctuation.

• Su Shijie traveled with Amu to the gathered fleet and sensed three gods dragging the Shattered Divine Kingdom out of warp space.
• Gilshius announced that the damaged divine artifact was his target and offered a reward and a promise to whoever completed his task.

• Su Shijie heard the divine kingdom's lingering curses as he passed through the entrance into a desolate world filled with powerful, corrupted monsters.
• After sensing a Transcendent get swallowed by a shadow, Su Shijie flew toward the area with the strongest corruption and Spacetime Fluctuation.

Su Shijie explored the Shattered Divine Kingdom, absorbing Solidified Divine Power and investigating strange spatial-temporal turbulence. He discovered that a young Great Dog Clan member who had been pursued by three Demigods seemed unusually protected by the kingdom’s storms, and wondered whether Evolutionary Tiers received preferential treatment.

• Su Shijie absorbed another shard of Solidified Divine Power while traveling through the dangerous Shattered Divine Kingdom.
• Spatial-temporal turbulence swept three Great Dog Clan Demigods into a divine power storm as they chased a supposed Transcendent who had taken Solidified Divine Power.
• Su Shijie watched the three Demigods struggle against the storm and the shadow monsters forming around them.
• Su Shijie noticed that the young Great Dog Clan member passed safely through the storm and realized he was a True God Bloodline at Evolutionary Tier Nine.
• Su Shijie wondered whether the Shattered Divine Kingdom favored Evolutionary Tiers.

Sers followed his ancestor’s necklace through the Shattered Divine Kingdom to claim an inheritance, while Su Shijie decided to follow him. At the altar, three demigods pursued Sers, and their attacks awakened a damaged divine artifact that absorbed his necklace.

• Su Shijie sensed that the True God Bloodline had a reason for entering the Shattered Divine Kingdom and chose to follow him toward its core.
• Sers recalled discovering his ancestor’s necklace and learning that the damaged divine kingdom held his ancestor’s inheritance.
• Sers reached a tranquil altar, where three demigods who had pursued him caught up and tried to kill him.
• The demigods’ attacks struck an invisible barrier and awakened the altar, revealing a damaged scepter with an opening at its top.
• Sers’s necklace broke free and embedded itself in the opening atop the scepter.

Sers took the divine scepter and became the host of a revived Divine Abomination connected to the altar beneath him. Duo Angel, Duo Bloodblade, and Duo Panda arrived to save two Great Dog Clan demigods from being absorbed, and the creature revealed that it was an remnant obsession claiming to have killed Anubis.

• Sers revealed his True God Bloodline, pulled the cracked scepter from its barrier, and faced the three demigods pursuing him.
• A black tentacle burst from the altar and drained one demigod, while the creature beneath the altar linked itself to Sers and used him as a host.
• The revived creature absorbed the demigod's essence, energy, and spirit, then sent tentacles after the two surviving Great Dog Clan demigods.
• Duo Angel, Duo Bloodblade, and Duo Panda arrived, and Duo Bloodblade blocked the tentacles with God's Thought and the authority of corruption.
• Duo Panda challenged the creature's claim to Anubis's prestige, and the two rescued demigods recognized Anubis as a fallen True God of the Great Dog Clan.

Anubis, a newly awakened Divine Abomination, was suppressed by the Fallen Angels until Netherius intervened and accidentally freed him. As the rivals fought over Anubis and the Smiting Scepter, Anubis revealed the artifact could grow stronger and help break through to True Godhood, and the Fallen Angels turned their decrees on Netherius.

• Duo Angel and Duo Panda weakened and bound Anubis with their decrees, leaving the Great Dog Clan demigods relieved that he had been subdued.
• A crescent-blade strike cut Anubis in two and severed the binding, letting him retreat into the altar and block the Fallen Angels' attacks with his scepter.
• Netherius arrived, dismissed his strike as an accident, and demanded Anubis surrender the divine artifact in exchange for a new demigod body.
• Anubis taunted Netherius and revealed that the Smiting Scepter gained power from its kills and could help its wielder break through to True Godhood.
• Netherius attacked Anubis with his divine artifact and Solidified Divine Power, but Anubis blocked the blow with the scepter.
• Duo Bloodblade and Duo Panda used their decrees against Netherius while he remained locked in battle with Anubis.

Duo Bloodblade and Duo Panda helped Duo Angel seize the Smiting Scepter, but it consumed her as its sacrifice and resisted Panda’s attempt to take it. Anubis claimed his final decree prevented anyone above the extraordinary from obtaining it, until an unseen figure appeared holding the scepter.

• Duo Bloodblade and Duo Panda attacked Netherius and Anubis while Duo Angel moved to claim the Smiting Scepter.
• Duo Angel tore the scepter from Anubis, but it corroded her gloves and began absorbing her into black water.
• Netherius revealed that the scepter required a sacrifice, and Anubis tried to connect with Angel as the offering.
• Duo Bloodblade used a hidden Divine Artifact to sever Anubis’s black-water tendrils, while Duo Panda failed to move the scepter after Angel was absorbed.
• Anubis declared that his final decree barred beings above the extraordinary from obtaining the scepter, but an invisible figure appeared holding it.

Su Shijie claimed the Smiting Scepter and revealed the strength of his divine artifacts, turning Netherius and the Fallen Angels against him. As they prepared to summon divine descendants, Su Shijie kept absorbing the scepter and resolved to test their power.

• Su Shijie lifted the Smiting Scepter, rejected the Fallen Angels' claim that he was one of them, and drew Anubis's alarm.
• Netherius attacked Su Shijie, but a defensive divine artifact blocked the strike while Anubis suppressed Su Shijie's Domain Field.
• Su Shijie used the Life Ancient Tree to bind Netherius's curved blade and sever Netherius's connection to it.
• Netherius, Anubis, and the two Fallen Angels agreed to oppose Su Shijie, with Netherius proposing that his father descend.
• Su Shijie continued refining the Smiting Scepter and prepared to test the divine descent, confident in his new artifacts and Solidified Divine Power.

Su Shijie faced Gilshius, God of Warriors and Adventurers, after Gilshius descended through Netherius and demanded the Smiting Scepter. Su Shijie completed his assimilation of the artifact and struck back, leaving the Shattered Divine Kingdom devastated by their collision.

• Su Shijie armed himself with the Life Tree Branch, Void Armor, a divine curved blade, and the Smiting Scepter as he prepared to fight.

• Su Shijie refused, and Gilshius attacked him with a storm of phantom weapons, which Su Shijie repeatedly shattered.
• Gilshius crushed Solidified Divine Power to strengthen his weapons, but Su Shijie remained unaffected and completed his assimilation of the Smiting Scepter.
• Su Shijie struck at Gilshius with the scepter, and their clash unleashed a devastating shockwave that destroyed the altar, killed the two Great Dog Clan demigods, and left Anubis screaming.

Su Shijie defeated Gilshius and the two Fallen Angels who joined the fight, then confronted Anubis at the core of the Shattered Divine Kingdom. With the kingdom fragment on the verge of collapse, Su Shijie declared that it was destined for him and prepared to claim it.

• Su Shijie refused to let Gilshius leave and attacked him despite Gilshius warning that his true body was outside the Shattered Divine Kingdom.
• Duo Bloodblade and Duo Panda completed their divine descents to protect Gilshius, but Su Shijie fought all three with his divine power and artifacts.
• The battle devastated the Shattered Divine Kingdom, and Anubis struggled to keep it stable while Bloodblade and Panda were drained of their vitality.
• Su Shijie smashed Gilshius's head apart, purified the three God's Thoughts, and stored the blood-red sword divine artifact within his body.
• Su Shijie entered the core and met Anubis, who lamented that the fragment was about to collapse after the Smiting Scepter was taken.
