Chapter Summaries

Lord Locke allowed Rena to travel with Leisjing, quietly protecting her while letting the two young gods grow through their adventures. The chapter then shifted to the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns confronting Augusta in the Spatial Turbulence, where they prepared to use their Fusion Innate Divine Ability against him.

• Lord Locke watched Rena's encounter with Leisjing and used an illusion to make Bellute experience the power of the Eye of Hell: Eighteen Layers of Hell.
• Leisjing insisted on becoming Rena's little brother, and Lord Locke allowed him to accompany her while the Purple Thorn Sovereign welcomed the protection and opportunities this would bring her son.
• Lord Locke reflected that Rena needed freedom to make friends and travel, and he let her and Leisjing journey through the Four Supreme Planes and Seven Great God Planes with little interference.
• The chapter explained that Augusta had earned extra Willpower and a Supreme Artifact, making him far stronger than the other Law Overlords but still far weaker than the Four Great Rule Overlords.
• Reiding, Eus, Nemo, and Bowen confronted Augusta in the Spatial Turbulence and prepared to combine their powers in a Fusion Innate Divine Ability attack.

Augusta, the Light Overlord, lured the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns into a confrontation, relying on a soul-defense Supreme Artifact and Wind Overlord Tia’s secret allegiance. Reiding realized his oath with Locke was about to be fulfilled and prepared to face the brothers’ likely deaths as Augusta declared his ambition to become the sixth Rule Overlord.

• Augusta taunted the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, confident that Ov’s soul-defense Supreme Artifact could protect him from their Fusion Innate Divine Ability.
• Lord Gods watching the confrontation discussed Augusta’s strength and the history of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns and Wind Overlord Tia.
• Nemo nearly charged Augusta, but Reiding restrained him and reminded him that their formation was their only way to threaten an Overlord.
• Reiding realized his oath with Locke had collapsed into his soul and understood that the oath’s consequences were imminent.
• Augusta revealed that Tia had secretly submitted to him and that he had lured the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns out to kill them and advance his ambition to become a Rule Overlord.

Augusta attacked the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, but Reiding used Dragon Roar to slow him and led his brothers toward Hell rather than risk their fusion ability against him. With Augusta cutting off their escape and Reiding’s blood reserves running low, Reiding began revealing the secret oath he had made with Lord Locke.

• Augusta struck at the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns with the Supreme God of Fate Sword, and Reiding used Dragon Roar to slow the attack.
• Reiding urged his brothers to flee into Hell, but Augusta raced ahead and blocked their route.
• The Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns changed course as Reiding repeatedly used Dragon Roar and depleted his Lord God Essence Blood.
• Nemo, Eus, and Bowen urged Reiding to fight Augusta, while Reiding apologized and explained that their crisis was tied to a secret oath.
• Reiding recalled swearing to protect Lord Locke from other Sovereigns for one hundred million years and recounted how he later destroyed Muya Lord God's Divine Clone.

Azure Dragon Lord God Reiding confessed to his brothers that a broken oath had made Augusta, the Light Overlord, his punishment, while the four prepared to fight rather than flee. In the Spatial Turbulence, Bellute witnessed Augusta pursuing the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns and learned that no one, including Locke, had come to their aid.

• Azure Dragon Lord God Reiding explained the broken oath to Eus, Nemo, and Bowen, who accepted the danger and agreed to stand by him.
• Reiding revealed that surviving Augusta's pursuit might let them endure the oath's punishment, and promised to turn and fight once he had only ten drops of essence blood left.
• Bellute failed to advance his Darkness Profound Mysteries, then noticed a disturbance in the Spatial Turbulence while fishing for treasures with his tail.
• Bellute saw Augusta pursuing the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns and identified them by Reiding's Azure Dragon innate divine ability.
• Reiding's brothers urged him to stop fleeing because no Sovereign had come to help, and Reiding realized that even Locke had not appeared for them.

The Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns attacked Augusta, the Light Overlord, with their Fusion Innate Divine Ability, but his soul-defense Supreme Artifact protected him and his counterattack killed Vermilion Bird Lord God Nemo and Black Tortoise Lord God Bowen. Watching from the Yulan Plane, Bellute stole their corpses and began considering what he could gain from them.

• Augusta, the Light Overlord, caught up with the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, who stopped fleeing and formed up to use their Fusion Innate Divine Ability.
• The Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns imprisoned Augusta with their Fusion Innate Divine Ability and struck him with a soul attack, but Destiny Overlord Ov's soul-defense Supreme Artifact protected him.
• Augusta's sword strike killed Vermilion Bird Lord God Nemo and Black Tortoise Lord God Bowen, while White Tiger Lord God Eus attacked him with Tiger's Roar.
• Bellute dragged the corpses of Vermilion Bird Lord God Nemo and Black Tortoise Lord God Bowen through a Spatial Rift into the Dark Forest of the Yulan Plane.
• Bellute's sons and their families fled the pressure of the corpses as Bellute wondered whether he could use them to become a Sovereign.

Bellute stole the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise corpses, then survived Augusta’s attack by refining a Soul Defense Lord Artifact from White Tiger Lord God Eus. As Augusta killed Eus, Reiding sent his brothers’ corpses to Bellute, asked him to protect their family, and humiliated Augusta before the watching Sovereigns.

• Bellute realized he needed Eus’s Wind Element Lord Godhead to become a Sovereign, while Augusta discovered that Bellute had taken the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise corpses.
• Eus gave Bellute a Soul Defense Lord Artifact, and Bellute refined it in time to withstand Augusta’s Sovereign Projection and soul attack.
• Augusta killed Eus, and Reiding sent his corpse into the Yulan Plane beside his brothers’ bodies and asked Bellute to bury them together and protect the Four Divine Beast Family.
• Reiding slowed Augusta with his divine ability, urinated on him, and announced the humiliation to the observing Sovereigns before Augusta killed him.

Bellute seized the Wind Element Lord Godhead from White Tiger Lord God Eus’s corpse, became a Lesser Sovereign, and refused Augusta’s demand to surrender the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ remains. Augusta threatened to intercept Bellute when he eventually had to leave the Yulan Plane to fulfill his Sovereign duties.

• Augusta attacked Azure Dragon Lord God Reiding, annihilated his soul, and Bellute dragged Reiding’s corpse into the Yulan Plane.
• Augusta demanded that Bellute return the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ corpses and Lord Godheads, but Bellute took the Wind Element Lord Godhead from Eus’s body and refined it.
• Bellute’s new Wind Element Sovereign power let him dismiss Augusta’s Lord God Projection and tell Augusta to leave the Yulan Continent.
• Augusta sent a law clone and warned Bellute that Sovereigns had to perform duties in their God Planes, threatening to intercept him when he left the Material Plane.
• Augusta told Bellute that refusing his duties could cost him his Lord Godhead, and demanded that he surrender the corpses or face future death.

Bellute rejected Augusta’s demand for the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ corpses and Lord Godheads after learning that Lord Locke could threaten him even within the Yulan Plane. Meanwhile, Locke’s attempt to create a miniature universe failed, and the resulting blast tore open the Elemental Planes’ barrier to the gray currents beyond.

• Augusta warned Bellute about Sovereign duties, but Bellute refused to hand over the corpses and Lord Godheads or leave the Yulan Plane.
• Augusta revealed that Lord Locke was nearly equivalent to the Supreme Gods in the danger he posed, but Bellute still refused to reconcile and ordered Augusta to leave.
• Augusta returned to the Light God Plane without the corpses or Lord Godheads, leaving him unable to explain matters to Ouf and short of four Sovereigns for his forces.
• Locke used the Law of Space to form a miniature space and tried to evolve it into a universe by combining the elemental Laws.
• Locke’s experiment failed, and the space in his palm exploded through the cosmic barrier, opening a hole in the Elemental Planes as gray currents poured in.

Locke studied how the Magic Universe’s Law of Heaven and Earth broke down Primordial Qi, deepening his understanding of universal creation while considering paths beyond Hong Meng Controllers. After centuries of secluded cultivation, he returned to Nether Mountain and reunited with his family, especially Rena, whose Sovereign promotion he had missed.

• Locke observed Primordial Qi being broken down in the Elemental Plane and used what he learned to make the universe he evolved last longer.
• Locke reflected on the possible paths beyond Primordial Space, including mastering the Profound Yellow Law and entering Profound Yellow Space.
• Locke left the Elemental Plane and returned to the Sovereign Palace on Nether Mountain, where he apologized to Rena for missing her promotion to Sovereign.
• Rena playfully asked Locke to make it up to her, and Locke promised to grant her anything she wanted.
• Gela watched Locke dote on Rena and felt jealous, while recalling how Locke had often teased and dismissed him and Weil.

Rena told Locke how Augusta defeated the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, prompting Locke to consider the danger of losing a first-tier universe’s creation slot and the fate of their essence blood. After discovering the Sovereigns had stored essence blood in their Space Rings, Locke opened a view of their corpses for his family and considered helping Bellute.

• Gla resented that Locke still doted on the grown Rena, while Locke amused himself by reading their thoughts.
• Rena recounted Augusta’s battle with the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, and Locke reflected on Linley’s coming rise and his own need to secure a first-tier universe’s creation slot.
• Locke located Bellute on Yulan Continent creating the Graveyard of Gods and examined the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ corpses.
• Locke found that the Sovereigns’ Space Rings held one hundred drops of Lord God Essence Blood each, except Reiding’s, and realized the stored blood could make up for their losses.
• Locke opened a spatial rift from the Sovereign Palace so Luo An, Weil, Gla, and Rena could see the corpses on Yulan Continent.

Locke replenished Azure Dragon Lord God Reiding’s essence blood to give the Four Divine Beast Family a glimmer of hope, then warned his descendants not to interfere in the rise of a future great being. As news of the Four Divine Beasts’ deaths spread, the family’s dwindling supply of Sovereign’s Might left its members vulnerable, and a feud with the Barbary Family erupted.

• Locke explained that he replenished Reiding’s essence blood because the Four Divine Beast Family might otherwise face extinction after the Four Divine Beasts’ deaths.
• Locke told Luo An, Weil, Gla, and Rena that a being might rise to his level or surpass him within the coming ages, but forbade them from interfering with that being’s life.
• News of the Four Divine Beasts’ fall spread, while the Four Divine Beast Family remained unaware and began running short of Sovereign’s Might.
• A Four Divine Beast Family member abducted the Barbary Family young patriarch’s wife, prompting the young patriarch to lead an attack that destroyed the clan outpost.
• Four Divine Beast Family members elsewhere in the Water Element God Plane launched an attack on the Barbary Family to avenge their fallen clansmen.

The Four Divine Beast Family’s dwindling supply of Sovereign’s Might left its Water Element God Plane branch vulnerable, prompting local factions to rebel. Gaisreisen sent Tia to ask the Purple Thorn Sovereign to relay a message to the missing Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns in the Spatial Turbulence.

• The Barbary Family defeated the Four Divine Beast Family’s assault after its members ran out of Sovereign’s Might, exposing the family’s weakness and encouraging local factions to attack.
• Gaisreisen and the other patriarchs refused the Water Element branch’s request for Sovereign’s Might, then ordered clansmen across the planes to gather and conserve what remained for High Gods and above.
• Gaisreisen stopped Gus from rushing to the Water Element God Plane and prioritized contacting their missing fathers to obtain Sovereign’s Might and Lord God Essence Blood.
• Gaisreisen sent Tia to the Purple Thorn Sovereign to request that she carry a message to the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns in the Spatial Turbulence.
• Tia reached the Purple Thorn Mountain Range and flew into its mist to seek the Purple Thorn Sovereign.

Tia sought the Purple Thorn Lord God’s help in contacting the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns, who had been absent for a hundred thousand years, but she refused. After Leisjing struck Tia for questioning his mother, he asked why she could not even relay a message, leaving the reason unresolved.

• Tia entered the Purple Thorn Mountain Range and asked to meet the Purple Thorn Lord God, hoping she could contact the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns in Spatial Turbulence.
• Leisjing arrived, learned why Tia had come, and escorted him to his mother despite mocking his concern.
• The Purple Thorn Lord God refused Tia’s request, explaining that the danger involving Augusta was beyond her ability to address.
• Tia challenged the refusal and invoked Reiding’s past help, so Leisjing slammed him into the palace floor and rebuked him for disrespecting his mother.
• Tia apologized, and Leisjing asked the Purple Thorn Lord God why she could not relay the message to the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns.

Tia learned from the Purple Thorn Sovereign that the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns had been killed by the Light Overlord ten thousand years earlier, and Gaisreisen ordered the family to consolidate its remaining strength. On the Yulan Continent, Bellute moved the Sovereigns’ corpses into his newly created eighteen-layer God Plane and extended his Spiritual Sense toward Hell.

• Tia told Gaisreisen, Gus, and Federman that the Purple Thorn Sovereign had revealed the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns were killed by the Light Overlord in Spatial Turbulence ten thousand years earlier.
• Gus reacted with grief, while Gaisreisen warned his brothers that the family had lost its source of Sovereign’s Might and could face attacks across the planes.
• Gaisreisen ordered the family to recall High Gods from the other planes and bring back most of their Sovereign’s Might for redistribution, and Gus, Tia, and Federman sent the summons.
• Bellute finished creating an eighteen-layer God Plane attached to the Yulan Continent and moved the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ corpses from the Dark Forest into its eighteenth layer.
• Bellute extended his Spiritual Sense into Spatial Turbulence for the first time since becoming a Sovereign and barely reached Hell.

Bellute learned from Blood Peak Lord God Pash about the Lord God Pact and the duties Lord Locke imposed on Lord Gods. Pash began explaining how those duties arose, leaving Bellute unaware of the crisis that once faced the Water Element God Plane.

• Bellute contacted Blood Peak Lord God Pash, who offered to explain the agreements and duties governing Lord Gods.
• Pash described the Lord God Pact’s rules: Lord Gods could not interfere in God-level affairs without cause, ranks depended on strength, and higher-ranked Lord Gods could not attack lower-ranked ones without cause.
• Pash explained that Lord Gods had to sort out chaotic laws in the planes at set intervals, with the required service time depending on their rank.
• Bellute asked what happened if a Lord God failed to fulfill those duties, and Pash warned him not to consider neglecting them.
• Pash began recounting the history behind the duties, explaining that after the first Lord God War, only two Lesser Lord Gods remained stationed in the Water Element God Plane.

Blood Peak Lord God Pash told Bellute how Lord Locke enforced the Lord Gods’ duties, leaving Bellute reassured that he would be protected while fulfilling his own. Seeking a way out of the Yulan Plane, Bellute planned to raise a powerful descendant, while Augusta raged in Ogu Garden over Bellute, Pash, and Uthred.

• Blood Peak Lord God Pash explained that Lord Locke had stabilized the Water Element God Plane, established duties for Lord Gods, and pulled Snowfall Lord God out of his home plane through a spatial passage.
• Bellute feared Augusta, the Light Overlord, or Lord Locke might eventually kill him, but Pash clarified that Lord Gods performing their duties were protected by Lord Locke and the Four Great Rule Overlords.
• Bellute decided to cultivate a descendant with Earth, Water Element, and Fire Element Divine Clones, hoping that a Paragon who refined Lord Godheads could become strong enough to protect him.
• Bellute searched the Yulan Continent with his Spiritual Sense and noticed several tiger-type, bird-type, and turtle-type magical beasts.
• Augusta, the Light Overlord, flew into a rage in Ogu Garden, but his attacks could not damage Destiny Overlord Ov’s Supreme Artifact of material defense.

Augusta’s failed attempt to retaliate against Bellute left Ov focused on obtaining the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ essence blood, while the Four Divine Beast Family endured a devastating purge across the planes. After three thousand years of rescues, most surviving family forces had gathered in Hell.

• Augusta raged at Ov over Bellute’s defiance, but Ov warned him that Uthred would protect Bellute in Hell and that Augusta could not safely challenge him.
• Ov learned that Bellute had given Uthred some of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ Lord God Essence Blood, then fused with Augusta and threatened to remain fused unless Augusta brought him more essence blood.
• Across ten planes, factions attacked the Four Divine Beast Family, killing or capturing most members and extracting their blood; Gaisreisen’s rescue operation brought fewer than one in a hundred thousand of those clansmen back to Hell over three thousand years.
• Gus reported to Gaisreisen in Azure Dragon Hall that most of the family’s forces had retreated to Hell, and Gaisreisen praised his work rescuing clansmen with help from Tia and Federman.

Gaisreisen told his brothers that the Four Divine Beast Family had to avoid provoking new enemies while defending its honor, and Augusta admitted he had wasted much of the Divine Beast Essence Blood he collected. Augusta then revealed to Destiny Overlord Ov that three Sovereign Sparks remained in Bellute’s plane and hinted that he could use them to weaken the family.

• Gaisreisen explained that the Sovereign Envoys and legions had refused to help the Four Divine Beast Family, so the siblings had to avoid antagonizing them.
• Gaisreisen advised his brothers to avoid making new enemies but to swiftly destroy any force that challenged the family, and Gus, Tia, and Federman agreed.
• Destiny Overlord Ov found only eighteen drops of Lord God Essence Blood in Augusta’s Space Ring and said he needed far more to analyze the Four Divine Beasts’ Fusion Innate Divine Ability.
• Augusta admitted that poor instructions had caused much of the essence blood to be wasted or contaminated, and promised to collect two hundred drops within five thousand years.
• Augusta told Ov that Bellute was the only Sovereign in his plane and that three Sovereign Sparks of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns remained there.

Augusta spread news that the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ bodies and Sovereign Sparks were in the Yulan Plane, drawing experts from across the planes into a deadly scramble. The Four Divine Beast Family prepared to retrieve their ancestors’ remains, while Lord Locke and Lilia watched the turmoil that threatened to become a massacre.

• Augusta revealed his plan to lure experts into the Yulan Plane, where their conflict with the Four Divine Beast Family could draw Bellute away and leave the bodies and Sovereign Sparks within his reach.
• Augusta’s agents spread the news across the planes, prompting reclusive experts and other powerful beings to rush toward the Plane Teleportation Arrays.
• Gaisreisen and his brothers recognized the danger and opportunity, and decided their family must go to the Yulan Plane to reclaim their fathers’ remains and seek their Sovereign Sparks.
• Gaisreisen donned the Azure Dragon Armor and insisted on leading the expedition, explaining that anyone from the family who obtained a Sovereign Spark must give it to him for safekeeping.
• Lord Locke and Lilia watched as Augusta’s scheme stirred the powers of the planes to attack the Four Divine Beast Family.

Death Overlord Lilia and Locke discussed Augusta’s scheme to expose the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ fall and endanger Bellute and the Yulan Plane. Locke intervened to prevent Yulan Continent from collapsing, and Bellute recognized his power in the Spatial Turbulence.

• Lilia speculated that Augusta had spread news of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns’ deaths to target Bellute, and Locke confirmed the information came from Augusta.
• Locke revealed that Augusta’s plan was to lure fighters to Yulan Continent until their battles destroyed it, leaving Bellute without his home plane’s protection.
• Lilia asked Locke not to reveal more because she wanted to watch events unfold herself.
• Thousands of powerful experts and millions of demons gathered in Yulan Plane, where constant battles threatened Yulan Continent.
• Locke extended his hand into the void, and enormous hands formed from Spatial Turbulence to cradle the Yulan Plane.
• Bellute saw the spatial hands and recognized Locke’s aura.
