• Magrida resolved to monopolize the Fire Element God Plane’s Divine Beast Essence Blood and natural treasures so the hidden Sovereign would have to keep dealing with him.

Magrida plotted to raise the price of his next transaction with Yan Feng, but Yan Feng attacked the Magrida Family estate to take revenge. After destroying its defensive array and killing nearly a hundred family members, Yan Feng faced Magrida as the patriarch emerged.

• The Death Overlord sensed that she had lost control over the space in Locke’s palm, and Locke explained that his Law of Space had made it his own.

Locke learned that Lilia had reached Death Rule Paragon and touched a higher law, then used Mirror Flower Water Moon to reproduce a trace of it. Her discovery suggested that Locke could pursue a second path to transcendence through illusion, while Lilia’s Paragon breakthrough made her far stronger than he had realized.

After nearly five trillion years, Locke and the Death Overlord had a son, Luo An, who was born a Divine Domain and inherited traits from both his parents. Locke and Lilia decided to take him to the Frost Snow Plane to meet Locke’s parents.

• Locke refined a wisp of spatial bloodline, bringing his understanding of the Law of Space to thirty-seven percent, then sensed that the Death Overlord was carrying their child.

Locke and Lilia secretly enjoyed tea and barbecue while Luo An was away, then Locke ate the bitter, unripe fruit Luo An brought back and tried to frighten his new turtle companion. After Luo An named the turtle Little Turtle as his mount, Locke recounted how his former mount Little White died and warned Luo An not to tempt his mount with treasures it could not handle.

• Luo An named the turtle Little Turtle and declared that he would take it as his mount, prompting Lilia to recall Locke's former mount, Little White.
• Locke told Luo An that Little White had become a High God after refining divine sparks, then died after greed led him to interfere with an Overgod's affairs.

Locke warned Luo An about the dangers of human nature and the need to choose friends carefully, while the Saint Domain turtle hoped to earn a divine spark by serving as Luo An's mount. After Luo An left to fetch more food, Locke and Lilia relaxed together, and Lilia recalled how Locke's strength had once astonished her.

• Locke explained to Luo An how greed and betrayal had led Lord Gods to kill one another before the Lord God Pact, and warned him that even powerful beings could not escape human nature.
• The Saint Domain turtle resolved to avoid temptation and wrongdoing after hearing how a rabbit senior had died, and Locke silently approved of its self-awareness.

• After Luo An left, Locke brought out his barbecue and ate while Lilia watched and recalled how Locke had first amazed her with his mastery of the Water Element laws.
• Lilia remembered that Locke had forced Blood Peak Lord God Pash to admit his mistake and that witnessing Locke defeat Pash had led her to reveal the Destiny Lesser Lord God's whereabouts.

Locke and Lilia brought Luo An to Blue Wing City as part of his trial, where he learned that traveling without a Demon Badge meant waiting in line. After entering the city, Luo An went to register at Demon Castle, while Lilia questioned Locke’s confidence in leaving him to go alone.

• Little Turtle asked whether the group should line up to enter Blue Wing City, and Locke told Luo An he had no Underworld Demon Badge to lend him.
• Locke explained that Luo An should earn privileges himself and encouraged him to register as a Demon, so the group joined the long line.
• Luo An and Little Turtle waited with Locke and Lilia, then Luo An paid four Nether Stones for entry slips and led the group through the city gates.
• Luo An rented two rooms at an inn before taking Little Turtle to Demon Castle to register as a Demon.
• Lilia asked Locke whether he was worried about Luo An going alone, and Locke replied that she was underestimating their son.

Luo An and Little Turtle registered as reserve demons in Blue Wing City, then went looking for somewhere entertaining. Luo An mistakenly entered the Battle Arena as a participant and realized he might have to fight a stronger opponent.

• Little Turtle and Luo An visited the Demon Castle and registered as reserve demons.
• Luo An asked Little Turtle to explore a crowded hall with him, then chose the less crowded entrance to save a place for his companion.
• Luo An entered the Battle Arena's participant passage by mistake, registered for a fight, and realized he was the only Low-grade God among the fighters.

• Lilia discovered that Luo An had entered the arena, and Locke used his Eye of the Soul to judge that the contestants posed no serious threat to him.
• Lilia flew to the Battle Arena despite Locke's reassurance, and Locke followed her there.
• Locke spotted Little Turtle in the stands holding a yellow scroll, and Lilia pulled him into the air with a stream of water.
• Locke erased the nearby spectators' memories of seeing the couple, and Lilia stopped Little Turtle from explaining that Luo An was in the arena.

Luo An entered a Battle Arena match against a Mid-grade God while Locke and Lilia watched over him in secret. After announcing his ambition to become the strongest water-element expert, he learned his opponent was a blade wielder and braced himself for the fight.

• Lilia questioned Little Turtle about how Luo An entered the Battle Arena, and he confessed that Luo An had followed other contestants into the arena passage.
• Locke reassured Lilia that they could let Luo An be willful under their protection, while secretly exposing him to dangers to teach him the value of strength.
• The announcer introduced Luo An as the Low-grade God challenging a Mid-grade God, and the spectators cheered for him as the underdog.
• Luo An took the stage, called himself the Sea Emperor, and declared that he would become the strongest water-element expert.
• The referee announced Luo An's opponent, Wild Goose Blade, and Luo An worried that the blade expert could unleash formidable power.

Luo An fought Mid-grade God Dudley in the Battle Arena and used his newly created Dragon Tide Wave to trap and wear him down. As Dudley struggled inside the vortex, Locke judged the technique crude and vulnerable because Luo An stood at its center.

• Luo An introduced himself as the Sea Emperor and challenged Dudley, who accepted as the Wild Goose Blade.
• Dudley opened with his Divine Domain and struck Luo An, but Luo An’s high-grade defensive divine artifact kept him from breaking through.
• Luo An used his father’s advice to create Dragon Tide Wave, filling the Battle Arena with a powerful vortex that trapped Dudley.
• Dudley realized the vortex would steadily drain him of divine power unless he could escape or destroy it.
• Lilia praised Luo An’s growth, while Locke pointed out that the move’s weaknesses included its crude execution and Luo An’s exposed position at its center.

Luo An defeated Dudley, a Mid-grade God, with Dragon Tide Wave and returned to the inn to tell Locke and Lilia about his victories. When Locke asked him to demonstrate the technique, Luo An discovered that his vortex could not reach his parents or Little Turtle, and the chapter ended as he tried to expand it.

• Dudley conceded after struggling against Luo An's Dragon Tide Wave, and the Battle Arena spectators hailed Luo An for making history in Blue Wing City.
