Chapter Summaries

As the Shattered Divine Kingdom collapsed, Amu and the other explorers headed for the exit, where Great Dog Clan demigods extorted tolls from those trying to leave. Su Shijie arrived and attacked Gaius and his companions before they could stop him.

• Amu called off the expedition and led his group toward the entrance as cracks and leaking divine power made the Shattered Divine Kingdom increasingly dangerous.
• Gaius and five other Great Dog Clan demigods blocked the exit and demanded Solidified Divine Power or valuables from departing explorers, while letting Amu and Fallen Angels pass without paying.
• Most explorers paid the toll, leaving a small group of Transcendents and Calamities for Gaius's followers to inspect.
• Su Shijie rushed toward the exit as the divine kingdom crumbled behind him, mocked the demigods sent to block him, and pressed a hand forward, plunging the area into darkness.

Su Shijie killed Gaius and Liuxius inside the Shattered Divine Kingdom, then emerged to face Gilshius’s Divine Kingdom Projection. He used Anubis’s corrupted Divine Decree to nullify divine might above the Transcendent and vanished into the distance.

• Su Shijie mistook Gaius and Liuxius for enemies, killed them with one strike, and took their divine artifacts and God's Thoughts.
• Su Shijie passed the remaining Calamities and Transcendents and entered the passageway out of the Shattered Divine Kingdom.
• Gilshius confronted Su Shijie outside and covered the area with his Divine Kingdom Projection, binding all beings beneath True Gods.
• Su Shijie released Anubis’s corrupted Divine Decree, which dispelled Gilshius’s Divine Kingdom Projection.
• Su Shijie sank into curvature and vanished into the distance.

Su Shijie escaped Gilshius’s pursuit by wielding Anubis’s decree and briefly assembling a makeshift True God set, but Gilshius’s spear blasted his body apart. Gilshius found his divine artifact missing and, believing Anubis had engineered the salvage operation, left in fury.

• Gilshius revealed his true body as a True God, but Anubis’s decree dispelled his Divine Kingdom Projection and restrained him while Su Shijie fled.
• Gilshius broke free, pursued Su Shijie, and hurled his blood-red divine spear after him.
• Su Shijie strengthened himself with Residual God's Will and Solidified Divine Power, then used the scepter to meet Gilshius’s spear.
• The spear shattered Su Shijie’s body and knocked him into reality, but his flesh wrapped around the weapon and carried it back into curvature.
• Gilshius arrived to find the asteroid field empty and discovered that he had lost contact with his spear.
• Gilshius suspected Anubis had schemed against him and left in bitter fury.

After surviving a devastating blow from a True God, Su Shijie recovered aboard Ivona’s ship and assessed the divine artifacts and other spoils he had seized. As the group returned to the Dark Dominion, he completed his patchwork godhood and concluded that his assembled power could crush anyone below the gods.

• Su Shijie stabilized his injuries with liquid from the Life Tree Branch and reflected on the divine artifacts, God's Thoughts, and other gains he had taken despite being badly injured by a True God.
• Ivona and the sisters arrived to rescue Su Shijie, who boarded their spacecraft and instructed Ivona to alter its appearance before returning to the Dark Dominion.
• During the voyage, Su Shijie refined seven divine thoughts, continued fusing his Domain Field with the Shattered Divine Kingdom's core, and began producing a faint God's Will.
• Su Shijie fused his eight divine artifacts into different parts of his body and concluded that his assembled Divine Body had reached the level of a False God.
• Back in the Dark Dominion, Su Shijie determined that ordinary demigods could not assemble patchwork godhood as he had, and claimed the role of gatekeeper to godhood.

Su Shijie returned to the Dark Dominion disguised as an elf and sought trade and intelligence on Solidified Divine Power. He discovered that Fallen Dante was wanted as a suspected Divine Abomination, and paid for intelligence linking that identity to Fallen Satan.

• Su Shijie and his companions disguised themselves as elves, changed the ship’s appearance, and headed for the Dark Dominion’s trade-focused fifth level.
• Su Shijie surveyed listings for Solidified Divine Power and bought recent intelligence while posing as an elven demigod traveling through Canis Major.
• Su Shijie found a wanted poster for Fallen Dante offering a divine artifact and the chance to become God’s Emissary, while warning that the target was a contaminated Divine Abomination.
• Su Shijie learned that the poster identified Fallen Dante as a likely Divine Abomination and reflected that Anubis’s lingering obsession had effectively parasitized him.
• Su Shijie bought more detailed intelligence and discovered that Fallen Dante’s powers and suspected Life Tree Branch overlapped with Fallen Satan, potentially linking the identities to the same organization or true god.

Su Shijie realized a hidden True God was screening ships at the Illegal Star Gate and that his Breath Concealing Bead could not mask his emerging Divine Kingdom. He sent Ivona and the other women to the Milky Way without him, then weighed using Anubis’s decree to force his own passage through the dangerous gate.

• Su Shijie stopped himself from activating the Illegal Star Gate after sensing danger, and changing into his high elf disguise did not dispel his unease.
• Su Shijie discovered that the Breath Concealing Bead could hide his strength and mental vibrations but not his transforming Domain Field and Divine Kingdom.
• Su Shijie told Ivona and the other women to travel to the Milky Way without him, and they left while warning him to be careful.
• Su Shijie considered the available routes and reasoned that Anubis’s decree might briefly interfere with a True God or False God guarding the gate, though it would likely be ineffective against Lucifer.
• Su Shijie decided he needed to confirm who was watching the gate before choosing how to proceed.

Su Shijie tried to pass through the stargate unnoticed, but a False God confronted him and attempted to stop him. He struck her into the stargate and followed, leaving his escape underway but recognizing how weak his Evolutionary Tier still was.

• Su Shijie bought intelligence about Lucifer and learned that Lucifer was in seclusion, then planned to cross the stargate while concealing his newly ascended Domain Field.
• As Su Shijie's spaceship approached the stargate, a hidden divine intent inspected him, then returned with the pressure of a False God.
• Su Shijie abandoned his spaceship, activated Anubis's edict, and tried to flee through the stargate, but his edict collided with the False God's Negation.
• Su Shijie's restricted edict overpowered the False God's broad negation enough to reveal Fallen Diana, and Su Shijie assembled his strength to attack her.
• Diana raised a small shield, but Su Shijie's blow blasted her into the stargate; Su Shijie used the recoil and the launch force to enter the transmission after her.

After escaping the Shattered Divine Kingdom, Su Shijie reunited with Ivona in Marg territory and considered how to investigate laborers from the Earth Federation, major corporations, and traitorous Transcendents. Ivona suggested starting with the Marg and Ghost Races, whose demand for imported technical workers came from treating them as slaves.

• Su Shijie fled through curvature after landing in the Flame Demon Star Domain and contacted Ivona to arrange a rendezvous.
• Su Shijie learned that they had landed in Marg territory, near a stargate connecting to the Titan Star Domain.
• Su Shijie and his companions reached a Marg trade space city, where he discussed investigating Earth Federation laborers, corporations, and traitorous Transcendents.
• Ivona suggested that Su Shijie investigate the Marg and Ghost Races because they imported technical workers in large numbers.
• Ivona explained that the Ghost and Marg Races treated imported technical workers as slaves and exploited their psionic labor.

Su Shijie and Ivona visited a Marg Race trade hub to investigate slave trading and seek information about the Earth Federation. A Marg intelligence receptionist identified humans as citizens of the Earth Federation, a backward Skyfeather vassal civilization, and offered a complete information package for twenty Flame Coin.

• Su Shijie changed into a Blood Elf identity before exploring the Marg Race trade hub with Ivona and their companions.
• Ivona explained that the busy border trade system had suffered three raids in the past hundred Radiant Years, two of which succeeded.
• Su Shijie saw the openly advertised slave trade and visited the local Information branch to request intelligence about slavery and the Ghost Race.
• Su Shijie asked whether the branch had information on slaves from the Sky Feather Race, Elven lineages, and humans.
• The receptionist said humans belonged to the Earth Federation, a backward vassal of the Skyfeather Civilization, and offered its complete information package for twenty Flame Coin.

After learning that millions of humans had been enslaved and most had been scrapped by the Marg Race, Su Shijie suppressed his urge to destroy them and went to find their Calamity. He enslaved Malo and ordered him to rescue the surviving humans and investigate every company involved in the trade.

• Su Shijie spent 380 Flame Coins on information and learned that more than three million humans had once been enslaved in Marg territory, with only a few hundred thousand left.
• Ivona suggested that Su Shijie destroy the Marg Race and attack the Ghost Race, but he decided that such revenge would cause endless trouble and chose to visit the local Calamity instead.
• Su Shijie confronted Malo in the Governor's Mansion and asked where the King of Mag was.
• Malo revealed that the King of Mag was at the Sky Garden above the seventh planet of the Marg I Star System.
• Su Shijie erased Malo's will, implanted his brand, and ordered him to rescue the surviving humans and investigate every company involved in the slave trade.

King of Mag reflected on the Marg Race’s growing power and the dangers spreading across the wider galaxy before an ominous feeling led him to discover four unexpected visitors in his palace. Su Shijie, the Galaxy Fighting Competition champion, introduced himself and explained that he had come to meet the king directly.

• King of Mag read reports about a Shattered Divine Kingdom, a Fallen Angel False God, and other dangers, and worried that he had grown too comfortable to venture beyond his realm.
• King of Mag felt a foreboding presence, called for his guards, and received no answer.
• A pair of Sky Feather Race twins, a succubus, and a familiar-looking Asgardian appeared at the hall’s entrance.
• King of Mag recognized Su Shijie as the Galaxy Fighting Competition champion and realized his communications had been cut off.
• Su Shijie greeted King of Mag and explained that he had bypassed the usual wait to meet him face-to-face.

Su Shijie confronted the King of Mag over the Marg Race’s use of humans as slaves and forced him to submit with his Divine Kingdom Projection. The King of Mag promised to investigate and cooperate, then surrendered his resistance when Su Shijie threatened to create a Contamination Source.

• Su Shijie asked whether the King of Mag knew about the Earth Federation and humans, and the King of Mag confirmed that he did.
• Su Shijie used his Divine Kingdom Projection to drag the King of Mag from his throne and pin him to the palace floor.
• Su Shijie accused the King of Mag of knowingly allowing humans from his civilization to be enslaved.
• The King of Mag begged for mercy and vowed to find and execute everyone involved in the slave trade.
• Su Shijie declined direct compensation but told the King of Mag to cooperate with future requests.
• When the King of Mag hesitated to release all resistance, Su Shijie warned that a Contamination Source might appear, and the King of Mag gave in.

Su Shijie broke through to transcendence after the cleansing feedback from punishing the people responsible for enslaving humans in the Marg Race. He then turned his attention to rescuing more than 1.7 million human slaves held by the far more powerful Ghost Race, whose three true gods made a direct confrontation dangerous.

• Su Shijie ordered King of Mag to execute those involved in enslaving humans, and the resulting feedback helped him break through to transcendence aboard his spaceship.
• Su Shijie discovered that his Domain Field had fused with the Shattered Divine Kingdom, strengthening his divine power and ability to survive encounters with powerful gods.
• After stabilizing his breakthrough, Su Shijie replenished his spiritual energy and celebrated with Ivona and the others.
• King of Mag reported that he had rescued 670,000 humans in the Marg Race and gathered information on more than 1.7 million humans held by the Ghost Race.
• Su Shijie resolved to target the Ghost Race's demigods and use King of Mag's connections to locate human slaves, while avoiding a direct fight with its three true gods.

Su Shijie arrived in Ghost Race territory and drew the hostile attention of its inhabitants as he traveled to an industrial planet. When a Calamity and nine Transcendents surrounded him and accused him of seeking to destroy, plunder, or capture slaves, he stepped out of his ship and sarcastically praised their guesses.

• Su Shijie reached a Ghost Race stargate, where his lone ship stood out and a hostile crowd watched him leave.
• Su Shijie ignored the Ghost Race's malice and warped toward an industrial planet, while several battered but advanced ships followed him.
• Three Ghost Race ships surrounded Su Shijie's vessel at the industrial planet and activated their fire-control locks.
• A Ghost Race Calamity and nine Transcendents accused Su Shijie of coming to destroy, plunder, or capture slaves.
• Su Shijie stepped out of his spaceship and sarcastically told the Ghosts they had guessed every one of his intentions.

Su Shijie and the Sophia sisters captured a Ghost Calamity who had followed them, choosing to keep him alive as a guide. At the industrial asteroid, the chapter revealed how Transformation Tier slaves were used as living sources of psionic energy, including Liu Bo, who had been sold into factory labor for decades.

• Su Shijie identified the asteroid as a Type III Psionic Metal processing factory, confusing the Ghost Calamity.
• Sophia restrained the Ghost Calamity and his subordinates with her Domain Field, while Ivona recognized Su Shijie as a Galaxy Fighting Competition champion.
• Ivona suggested keeping a captured Calamity as a guide, and Su Shijie agreed to spare the Ghost Calamity.
• The chapter described how the factory used Transformation Tier slaves as psionic energy sources in booths along its assembly lines.
• Liu Bo continued injecting psionic energy into machinery, recalling how a job placement agent had deceived him and he had been sold into decades of slavery.

A terrifying aura halted a slave factory, cutting off the nutrient solution that had kept its human workers numb and compliant. The Ghost Calamity ordered the humans, including Liu Bo, gathered for important use, while the factory’s owners hurried to find out what he intended.

• A terrifying aura stopped the factory machines and nutrient solution, causing long-term slaves to suffer withdrawal and newly lucid humans to weep in despair.
• Liu Bo regained his senses and recognized the people from his race who had been sold alongside him.
• The Ghost Calamity entered the factory, ordered the humans treated with lucid nutrient solution and gathered, and threatened the guards if any of them died.
• The factory’s two Calamity owners received a report and decided to rush over after recognizing the Ghost Calamity.
• The humans were given an antidote that reduced their withdrawal symptoms, but they remained uneasy and powerless as they awaited what would happen next.

Su Shijie reunited with Liu Bo, his childhood friend, after finding him among the humans enslaved in a sunless factory. As Liu Bo struggled to understand how Su Shijie had become so powerful, cracks formed again in the barrier around Su Shijie's mind.

• A Ghost Race worker tried to kill herself, and the guards stopped her while telling the humans that an important figure had requisitioned them and might offer a chance at freedom.
• The news restored hope among the surviving humans, and the important figure selected Liu Bo and brought him aboard a spacecraft.
• Liu Bo followed the figure into a recreation of the underground parking lot where he had once lived with his mother.
• Su Shijie greeted Liu Bo and explained that he had come to resolve lingering obsessions.
• Liu Bo struggled to comprehend that the figure who had brought him had addressed Su Shijie as his Master, while cracks appeared in Su Shijie's mental barrier.

Su Shijie rescued Liu Bo and other enslaved humans, then expanded the Dawn Church’s liberation efforts while replenishing his spiritual energy. He sensed a battle between God-tier beings and hurried toward it to investigate.

• Su Shijie comforted Liu Bo, offered him a place to learn and recover, and watched him leave rather than return to a home that no longer existed.
• Su Shijie’s spiritual side broke through to Transcendent Tier Level Four, but he needed enormous quantities of potions to restore his spiritual energy.
• Two Ghost Race Calamities arrived to confront Mobius, but two women seized them and delivered them back before they could continue their challenge.
• Su Shijie sent Dawn Church Calamities to investigate and rescue enslaved humans across Ghost Race territory while he refined Transcendent-tier potions.
• Su Shijie detected God-tier vibrations during curvature travel, stopped his ship, and went to investigate the battle.

Su Shijie secretly watched a true god of the Ghost Race battle the Fallen Angel False God Morar, whose clash devastated the star system. Their argument revealed that Morar had been investigating the Ghost Race and that they suspected the Pollution Sweeper was their agent, leaving Su Shijie amused to learn they were fighting over him.

• Su Shijie emerged from curvature near the battle and used his Electromagnetic Induction authority to let the Gamma Rays pass through him without detection.
• Su Shijie identified Morar and the Ghost Race true god, observing that Morar’s Divine Kingdom was struggling against the opponent’s Yin Wind.
• Su Shijie suspected the Ghost Race true god had intercepted Morar because she had uncovered something during her investigation of them.
• Morar demanded that Morar’s opponent stop making enemies of Abyssal City, while the Ghost Race true god accused her of secretly investigating them and asked whether the Pollution Sweeper was her agent.
• Su Shijie realized the two gods were fighting over him.

Fallen Diana fought Morar, a Ghost Race True God who had mistaken her for an enemy and refused to let her escape. As Morar grew stronger by accepting contamination, Diana called on the nearby stranger she had sent through the stargate for help.

• Fallen Diana recalled how she had pursued the stranger from Anubis's Shattered Divine Kingdom and accidentally provoked Morar by disrupting a Tyranid Zerg transaction.
• Morar attacked Diana and insisted he would kill her, even if fighting her meant accepting contamination.
• Morar gained strength as contamination altered him, leaving Diana increasingly outmatched in Ghost Race territory.
• Diana considered that the stranger might have completed his transformation nearby and called for his help, offering compensation from herself and Abyssal City.
