Chapter Summaries

After reaching the limit of the Wind Law, Theresia went to Nether Mountain to ask Lord Locke how he could continue cultivating. Jin received him and led him to an enormous Netherworld Fruit tree, where Theresia discovered the Lord God waiting was not Locke.

• Theresia recalled Luo An's words about Lord Locke's constant cultivation and wondered whether he had found a way forward beyond Paragon.
• Theresia forced his way through Nether Mountain's Thunder Chains, endured their lightning attacks, and reflected on how powerless Paragons were beside Lord Gods.
• A golden-robed High God magical beast named Jin appeared and told Theresia that the Lord God had invited him, but was not Lord Locke.
• Theresia apologized for mistaking Jin's Lord God for Locke and followed him in the opposite direction from Locke's residence.
• Jin brought Theresia to an enormous Netherworld Fruit tree and addressed it as Lord God; human facial features appeared on its trunk as a gentle aura spread around it.

Theresia learned that Lord Locke and Death Overlord Lilia were in seclusion, then traveled to the Water Element God Plane to seek Locke’s Sovereign clone. There, the Snowfall Lord God mistook Theresia for an intruder and attacked him, only for Theresia to shatter his World Freeze.

• The Netherworld Lord God told Theresia that four Sovereign Overlords besides Locke were Great Perfections and that Locke and Lilia would not receive visitors while in seclusion.
• The Netherworld Lord God advised Theresia to seek Locke’s Sovereign clone in the Water Element God Plane, and Theresia left Nether Mountain.
• Locke sensed Theresia enter the Water Element God Plane and recognized that he had become a Sovereign.
• The Snowfall Lord God rushed to confront Theresia, hoping to earn favor with Locke by capturing the apparent intruder.
• The Snowfall Lord God used World Freeze, but Theresia unleashed his Great Perfection Wind Law and shattered the frozen space.

Theresia became a Wind Element Paragon Lesser Sovereign, entered the Water Element God Plane, and attacked Snowfall Lord God, who called for Locke’s help. Locke stopped Theresia and heard both sides, leaving Theresia to explain that he had only come to visit and did not know the Sovereign rules.

• Theresia shattered Snowfall Lord God’s frozen attack and struck at him, prompting Snowfall Lord God to cry for Locke’s help across the Water Element God Plane.
• Locke used Space Transfer to appear before Snowfall Lord God and stopped Theresia’s nearly fatal attack with one hand.
• The Sovereigns who sensed the fight discussed Theresia’s new status as a Wind Element Paragon Lesser Sovereign and compared him with Wind Overlord Diya.
• Snowfall Lord God accused Theresia of entering the Water Element God Plane without authorization and violating the Lord God Pact by attacking him.
• Theresia explained that he had become a Sovereign less than a day earlier and had come only to visit Locke, and Locke said he knew.

Theresia met Lord Locke and asked how to continue cultivating after reaching Great Perfection. Lord Locke revealed that he still cultivated Laws with his true body and Water Element Divine Clone, and Theresia offered to serve him in exchange for guidance.

• Lord Locke gathered the Sovereigns in the Spatial Turbulence, introduced Theresia, and reduced his punishment for entering the Water Element God Plane without permission.
• Lord Locke established that the first Sovereign to discover a newly born Sovereign must explain the rules and obligations to them.
• After the other Sovereigns left, Theresia asked Lord Locke how to cultivate beyond Great Perfection.
• Lord Locke explained that his Destiny Lord God Clone cultivated Heterogeneous Law Profound Mysteries while his true body and Water Element Divine Clone continued cultivating Laws.
• Theresia offered to submit to Lord Locke if he would teach him how to cultivate beyond Great Perfection.

Theresia offered to join Locke's ranks, but Locke refused and instead asked him to watch over Luo An. Locke then taught Theresia that Paragons could use their affinity with spatial elements to comprehend the Law of Space.

• Theresia offered his allegiance to Locke, who rejected the offer but promised to teach him and asked him to keep an eye on Luo An.
• Locke shielded himself and Theresia from the other Sovereigns' Spiritual Sense and asked whether laws existed beyond the seven elements and four rules.
• Theresia failed to name another law, so Locke suggested that Spatial Turbulence consisted of spatial elements belonging to the Law of Space.
• Locke demonstrated Space Solidification and explained that Paragons could acquire spatial affinity through their Paragon laws.
• Theresia realized the Paragon Wind Law could let him absorb spatial elements and begin comprehending the Law of Space.

Theresia failed to sense the Law of Space, but Locke explained that Great Perfection only offered a foundation for pursuing it and left the rest to Theresia. After taking up Qingya Continent in the Wind Element God Plane, Theresia learned about the Lord God Pact and was shocked by the true extent of Locke’s power.

• Theresia tried to sense spatial elements through the Great Perfection Wind Law but felt nothing, and Locke told him that comprehending the Law of Space depended on his own fortune.
• Theresia returned to the Wind Element God Plane, claimed Qingya Continent, accepted the surviving Qingya Legion’s allegiance, and left its commander to reorganize the legion.
• Theresia questioned the other Wind Element Lord Gods and learned that Death Overlord had killed Lightning Overlord Hurray and established the Lord God Pact to protect lower-ranked Lord Gods.
• Theresia learned that Locke had achieved Great Perfection in both the Water Law and the Fate Law, surpassed the Rule Overlords, and possessed formidable Water Element and Destiny Lord God Clones.

After more than a hundred trillion years in seclusion, Locke emerged with fifty-eight percent comprehension of the Law of Space and strength comparable to a Law Overlord. Lilia summoned him and brought up the Plane Battlefield’s role in strengthening Sovereigns.

• Theresia cultivated the Law of Space using his Great Perfection Wind Law as a guide while Locke ignored his progress.
• Over several hundred trillion years, new Sovereigns filled many vacant positions, though none repeated Theresia’s act of tearing open a God Plane from the Spatial Turbulence.
• Locke emerged from seclusion with fifty-eight percent comprehension of the Law of Space, progress toward the Law of Reincarnation, and no breakthrough in fusing Water and Fate.
• Locke considered seeking an Earth Element Great Perfection to accelerate his cultivation, but judged the Earth Law experts he knew unlikely to break through.
• Lilia summoned Locke, noticed his Space Transfer, and asked about his earlier claim that the Plane Battlefield could help Sovereigns increase their strength.

Locke and Death Overlord discussed the coming Plane War, where the Underworld and Heaven Realm would compete for a tenth consecutive victory, and decided to watch without Locke’s Sovereign Legion intervening. After learning that his son Luo An had been away for thirty trillion years, Locke went to search for him in the Heaven Realm.

• Death Overlord told Locke that the Underworld and Heaven Realm each had nine consecutive Plane Battlefield victories and would likely face each other in the next war.
• Locke offered to send his Sovereign Legion to help the Underworld win, but Death Overlord declined because she did not need the reward and the Underworld already had a strong chance.
• Locke and Death Overlord agreed to watch the Plane War, and Locke hoped to find gifted Earth or Fire Element cultivators he could guide toward becoming Paragons.
• Locke realized he had not seen Luo An for several trillion years and asked Death Overlord where his son was.
• Death Overlord said Luo An had left Nether Mountain thirty trillion years earlier, so Locke used Space Transfer to go to the Heaven Realm and look for him.

Locke searched several God Planes and found his grown son Luo An living closely with a woman in the Life God Realm, then returned to cultivation without revealing himself. Later, Life Overlord Vivian convened the sixth Lord God Assembly, and Locke and Death Overlord arrived to hear her.

• Locke searched the Heaven Realm, the Light God Plane, and other God Planes before finding Luo An in the Life God Realm with a woman at his side.
• Locke learned that Vivian was watching over Luo An and that the Life Sovereigns would protect him, then returned to the Netherworld without telling Lilia what he had found.
• Locke resumed cultivating his bloodline and laws, assigning different pursuits to his original body and two divine clones.
• Vivian sent her Spiritual Sense to convene the sixth Lord God Assembly, and Locke ended his cultivation to attend with Death Overlord.
• Locke and Death Overlord arrived near the Life God Realm, greeted the Sovereigns, and waited as the gathering assembled.

Life Overlord Vivian introduced Levia as the newly ascended Water Overlord, and Locke immediately welcomed her and relinquished his acting position. Levia was left uncertain about taking over the Water Element God Plane as the assembly watched her reaction.

• Locke secretly released Soul Power and confirmed something before Life Overlord Vivian began the assembly.
• Vivian introduced Levia and revealed that she had refined the Water High Lord Godhead, making her the new Water Overlord.
• The Sovereigns wondered how Levia would treat the Water Sovereigns and compared her with other Overlords.
• Locke congratulated Levia, said he had been waiting to relinquish his duties, and announced that he had withdrawn his Lord God Clone and Sovereign Palace from the Water Element God Plane.
• Levia looked to Vivian for guidance, unsure whether taking over from Locke would damage his standing or make him her enemy.

Levia became the new Water Overlord after refining a Water Lord Godhead, while Luo An learned that his father, Locke, was regarded as the strongest Sovereign. The chapter left Luo An eager to seek more of his father’s bloodline power, as Levia revealed that Locke had once acted as Water Overlord.

• Vivian reassured Levia that Locke considered the Water Overlord position a burden, and the transfer of authority to Levia proceeded smoothly.
• Levia told Luo An that she had become one of only eleven Overlords after refining the Water Lord Godhead he gave her.
• Levia recounted how Luo An had protected her, helped her cultivate, and given her the Godhead despite its value.
• Levia told Luo An that the Sovereigns had shown unusual respect to Lord Locke, prompting Luo An to conclude that his father was the strongest Sovereign.
• Luo An anticipated asking Locke for bloodline power to strengthen his spatial abilities, while worrying about how his father would react to the Godhead he had given away.
• Levia revealed that Lord Locke had formerly acted as Water Overlord.

Luo An learned that Levia had become the Water Overlord and that his parents were the Rule Overlords Lord Locke and Lilia, then decided to visit the Underworld to strengthen his bloodline. He returned to Nether Mountain and reunited with his parents, but screamed when he stepped onto the Floating Bridge, prompting Lord Locke to dispel an Eye of Hell hidden in the mist.

• Luo An learned from Levia that Lord Locke had happily given up the position of Water Overlord, and he resolved to become stronger so he could stand beside Levia.
• Levia discovered the rules against entering another God Plane without its Overlord's permission, and Luo An comforted her after she became frightened of the Death Overlord.
• Luo An left his Death Element Divine Clone with Levia and took his true body and Water Element Divine Clone toward the Life God Realm's Plane Teleportation Array to travel to the Underworld.
• Lord Locke and Lilia sensed Luo An's return to Nether Mountain and went to meet him at the Water Mansion.
• Luo An stepped onto the Floating Bridge and screamed, so Lord Locke appeared and dispelled the Eye of Hell concealed in the mist.

After Luo An was badly injured by the illusions surrounding Locke’s Water Mansion, Locke and Lilia healed him, and he revealed that he had become a Water Law Paragon. Locke explained that Luo An’s Di Jiang bloodline could let him comprehend the Law of Space and potentially surpass the limits of a Law Overlord.

• Luo An charged through the Water Mansion’s mist and was gravely injured by Locke’s hidden Eye of Hell illusion.
• Locke and Lilia healed Luo An’s soul and body, and Locke explained how dangerous the mist’s illusions were.
• Luo An told Locke that he had returned to ask how to develop the power in his bloodline.
• Locke realized Luo An had reached Paragon in the Water Law, and Luo An confirmed it.
• Luo An described sensing a powerful force in his bloodline, and Locke explained that his Di Jiang heritage gave him a path to comprehend the Law of Space.

Locke explained how Luo An could cultivate the Law of Space through his inherited Di Jiang bloodline, potentially becoming a Law Overlord. He began teaching Luo An the law’s three profound mysteries.

• Luo An learned that mastering the Law of Space alongside Water Law could make him a Law Overlord, and eagerly asked Locke to teach him.
• Locke explained that Luo An could develop both his Water-Space Law and his Di Jiang bloodline, while warning him to keep his spatial heritage secret.
• Locke told Luo An that the Law of Space contained the Space Transfer, Space Solidification, and Space Shattering Profundities.

Locke taught Luo An how to cultivate the Law of Space and excavate his bloodline before sending him away from Nether Mountain. Locke and Lilia then watched the Plane War begin, as Locke searched the battlefield for potential fire- and Earth-element Paragons and waited to see what ten consecutive victories might bring.

• Locke explained the Space Transfer and Space Solidification Profundities and taught Luo An the bloodline cultivation system before sending him down Nether Mountain.
• Lilia woke Locke and told him that the Plane War had begun, with the Wind Element God Plane and Dark God Plane fighting first and the Underworld and Heaven Realm scheduled for the third battle.
• Locke and Lilia entered the Spatial Turbulence, where Sovereigns gathered to watch the Plane Battlefield appear and Locke said he suspected ten consecutive victories might cause a change.
• The Sovereign Legions of the Wind Element God Plane and Dark God Plane entered the battlefield and began preparing their defenses.
• After more than seventeen thousand years of fighting, the Wind Element God Plane gained the advantage and attacked across the bridges over the river of stars.
• Locke searched the battlefield for powerful fire- and Earth-element experts who might break through to Paragon.

Locke observed the Plane War and judged the souls and potential of its combatants, while the first two wars ended with a Wind Element victory and a draw between the Water and Fire Element Planes. The Underworld and Heaven Realm prepared to face each other, with a tenth consecutive victory for one Supreme Plane at stake.

• Locke used his Eye of the Soul to assess powerful fighters and found no one with the potential for Great Perfection in the Wind and Dark Plane War.
• Uthred, Vivian, and Ov recognized that they could not safely withstand Locke’s soul attack without soul-defending Supreme Artifacts.
• The Wind Element God Plane won its war against the Dark God Plane, and surviving soldiers surrendered their identity badges before leaving the battlefield.
• The Water Element and Fire Element God Planes fought a decisive battle after ten thousand years and ended with one bridge each in a draw.
• The Sovereigns turned their attention to the coming Underworld and Heaven Realm war, which would give one Supreme Plane its tenth consecutive victory.

The Underworld initially overwhelmed the Heaven Realm in their Plane War, but Augusta sent his Sovereign and Angel Legions to turn the tide for Destiny Overlord Ov. Lord Locke recognized that the intervention broke the old rules and considered deploying his powerful Locke Legion to reverse the outcome.

• The Underworld launched its attack after a thousand years of preparation and drove the Heaven Realm's forces back with its greater numbers of Asura Prefect Lords.
• Augusta's Sovereign Legion and Angel Legion appeared through the Heaven Realm's teleportation array, prompting the Sovereigns to question the Light Overlord.
• Destiny Overlord Ov admitted he had secured Augusta's support in exchange for a favor, seeking both ten consecutive victories and the changes Lord Locke had predicted.
• Augusta's forces began suppressing the Underworld, making a Heaven Realm victory within a hundred years appear likely while other planes lacked time to reinforce it.
• Lord Locke considered that his Locke Legion, stationed in the Underworld, could still reverse the war; the legion was led by Oakes and included five Asura Prefect Lord deputy commanders.

Lord Locke sent his Sovereign Legion to support the Underworld, turning the Plane War against the Heaven Realm and securing the Underworld’s victory. The Death Overlord revealed that ten consecutive victories earned a portion of Willpower equivalent to a Paragon’s, multiplying a Sovereign’s strength tenfold.

• Lord Locke asked the Death Overlord for a favor in exchange for sending his Sovereign Legion to aid the Underworld, and she agreed.
• Oakes gathered several hundred thousand Locke Legion soldiers at Flame Bone Island, and they entered the Plane Battlefield under six commanders.
• Locke’s Magic Battle Arrays broke through the Heaven Realm’s defenses, letting the Underworld capture one bridge and drive back the opposing legions.
• After another month of fighting, the Underworld seized the remaining bridge and won the Plane War.
• The Law of Heaven and Earth rewarded the five Death Lord Gods, and the Death Overlord told the other Sovereigns that ten consecutive victories granted Willpower equivalent to a Paragon’s.

Locke searched the Plane Battlefield and the divine planes for beings with the potential to become Great Perfections, hoping to cultivate them, but found none. Hundreds of trillions of years later, he remained frustrated by the world’s lack of promising candidates.

• Destiny Overlord Ov lost interest in pursuing ten consecutive Plane Battlefield victories, while Light Overlord Augusta saw the victories as a path to becoming the strongest Lord God.
• Locke explained that the other Lord Gods would prevent any plane from reaching ten consecutive wins, and he told Death Overlord Lilia that he wanted to find and cultivate potential Great Perfections.
• After the final two Plane Wars ended, Locke had found no suitable candidates, and Lilia accepted that his search might succeed despite the rarity of Great Perfections.
• Over the following dozens of Plane Wars, the other Lord Gods began intercepting planes after seven or eight victories, and Locke continued searching the planes without success.
• Hundreds of trillions of years later, Locke sighed beside a lake in the Underworld, and Lilia appeared to ask what troubled him.

Locke reassured Lilia that he understood the dangers of transcending the universe, but explained that he wanted to explore what lay beyond it. After discussing the steps he would need to take, he resumed cultivating the Law of Space with less urgency while continuing to collect the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns' essence blood.

• Locke told Lilia that his Law of Space comprehension had reached sixty-four percent and that his progress had slowed without Great Perfection Earth and Fire Laws.
• Lilia observed that Locke's main body and two divine clones were already powerful enough to rival Rule Overlords, prompting Locke to reflect on why he still cultivated so urgently.
• Locke explained his speculation that their universe might be one of many and said he wanted to discover what lay beyond it.
• Lilia warned Locke that anything beyond the universe could be far more dangerous, and Locke outlined his plan to learn to tear open the universe and withstand unknown energies.
• After reassuring Lilia, Locke resumed cultivating with less haste and continued secretly gathering Lord God Essence Blood from the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.
