Shen Yi, Winnie, and Tanamo arrived at a gathering of Shadow World leaders, where the Dragon race’s new clan leader, Xikete, appeared despite the death of an esteemed elder. Shen Yi sensed that Xikete possessed unstable hidden power as the assembled leaders prepared to discuss the Shadow World’s affairs.

• Winnie confronted Tanamo about concealing information, but Shen Yi said he would listen when Tanamo chose to explain voluntarily.
• Tanamo, Shen Yi, and Winnie reached the gathering, where the leaders said the honored one had not yet arrived.

• A leader welcomed the many attendees and proposed discussing the affairs of the Shadow World.

Tanamo, Xikete, and the Orc race Clan Leader challenged the black-robed Venerable after he gathered the Shadow World’s leaders and offered information about the new world. As Tanamo and Xikete’s defiance emboldened the silent leaders, Winnie and Shen Yi realized Tanamo was using the meeting to rally resistance.

• The black-robed Venerable used an imitation of spatial power to pull the gathered leaders close and offered them information about the new world and the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha.
• Tanamo demanded to know why the Venerable had summoned them, and Xikete joined her in challenging him.
• The Orc race Clan Leader also confronted the Venerable, who praised the Orc race rather than showing anger.
• Winnie and Shen Yi recognized that the Venerable was testing the leaders and that Tanamo was consolidating support for resistance.

Shen Yi explained to Winnie why the Shadow World powerhouses had rallied against the old man, then watched as the old man attacked the Orc race Clan Leader and the gathered clans with overwhelming lightning. As the others faced death, Xikete asked why Tanamo still had not made a move.

• Shen Yi told Winnie that Tanamo and Xikete had sparked resistance because the Shadow World powerhouses would not surrender the positions and power they had earned.
• More figures joined Tanamo and Xikete, and the old man called them an eyesore before striking at the Orc race Clan Leader with a thread of white lightning.
• The former Clan Leader of the Rock Heaven race raised an emerald barrier, but the attack shattered it instantly.
• The Orc race Clan Leader activated the third-stage berserk transformation, and other powerhouses added their abilities to protect him.
• The old man unleashed crimson lightning and gathered thunderclouds over the assembled clans, leaving them terrified and divided over whether to fight.
• Xikete asked Tanamo why she still had not made a move.

An old man forced Tanamo, Xikete, and the other Shadow World talents to confront the threat of Black Fog beyond their world and demanded their submission. When he revealed his face, they discovered the immensely powerful figure was human, leaving them stunned and helpless.

• The old man halted his devastating attack and offered the group a choice between submission and death.
• When Tanamo and others demanded to know his purpose, the old man showed them a bead containing visions of Black Fog consuming planets and a river of stars.
• The old man and his followers explained that the Venerable One had long known of the greater threat beyond their world and had tolerated the Shadow World despite its people stealing his treasure.
• Xikete challenged the old man's contempt for identity, and the old man revealed his face, shocking Tanamo and the others with the sight of a human.

Shen Yi recognized that the human old man’s immense power came from an external force that might be controlling him. He also realized Tanamo had brought Shen Yi and Winnie to the meeting to pressure them into giving her the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha, while keeping her connection to the old man unspoken.

• The old man revealed himself as human and demanded that the gathered beings submit or die.
• Shen Yi judged that an immense foreign power had invaded the old man and might be driving his words and actions.
• Winnie wondered whether Tanamo knew the old man was human, but Shen Yi explained that their oath had not required Tanamo to disclose that connection.
• Shen Yi concluded that Tanamo had arranged the meeting to force them to hand over the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha while preserving order in the Shadow World.

Tanamo challenged the old man’s authority by questioning the source of his power, while Shen Yi watched without revealing his plans. After Xikete confirmed that the old man’s power came from one of Lady Lilith’s relics, the old man admitted it and demanded that everyone submit or die.

• Winnie asked Shen Yi when he planned to act, but he stayed silent and watched the group in midair.

• Xikete described three relics that the ancestors had found and returned to the Primordial True Abyss, then challenged the old man to explain his power.
• The old man admitted that his power came from one of Lady Lilith’s relics and ordered everyone to submit or die.

Shen Yi explained why the old man could not fully wield Lilith’s Authority as the gathered races denounced him. The old man unleashed a devastating lightning attack, and Xikete used power drawn from fallen Dragon race members to shield the others while Tanamo prepared to intervene.

• Shen Yi told Winnie that the old man could manifest less than half of Lilith’s Authority and had sacrificed most of his lifespan to gain his power.
• Members of the Succubus race, the Dragon race, and other races accused the old man of stealing Lilith’s remnants and refused to submit.

• Tanamo recognized that Xikete had absorbed the dragon aura left behind by deceased Dragon race members, while his protective barrier began to fail.
• Xikete said the old man’s actions had been necessary to prevent the Shadow World from being destroyed sooner, but Tanamo condemned his blasphemy and summoned the power of her ring.

Tanamo accused the old man of betraying the Shadow World and claimed he planned to resurrect Lady Lilith. As the old man’s crimson lightning overwhelmed Xikete’s defenses, Tanamo unleashed the power of her ring and surged beyond his strength, though Xikete feared the cost would destroy her.

• Tanamo confronted the old man over Xilos’s exile, his tampering with the Spirit Vein, and his plans in Twilight Abyss.
• The old man attacked Tanamo with crimson lightning, and Xikete struggled to shield the assembled people from its force.
• The old man declared that he would eliminate the crowd so they could not interfere with his resurrection of Lady Lilith.
• Tanamo sent her ring into the air, and its energy drove her power sharply upward.
• Xikete withdrew to the ground, badly injured, and warned that Tanamo would not survive her power without a terrible cost.

Tanamo revealed that she had united her strength with the wishes of Succubi across the ages to confront the old man, who warned that her power would cripple her race and quickly fade. The chapter ended as Tanamo challenged his assumption that she had gathered this power to fight him.

• Tanamo unleashed her hidden power, shocking the gathered powerhouses, and Winnie remarked that she had not been honest about her strength.
• Shen Yi explained that Tanamo had become a collective of Succubi across history, while Winnie doubted Tanamo would sacrifice herself without a reason.
• Tanamo threatened to kill the old man for insulting Lilith and suppressed his scarlet lightning with her immense power.
• The old man warned that Tanamo's power would drain away quickly and that using it would reduce the Succubus race's future strength by at least thirty percent.
• Tanamo said she was united with one hundred and sixty-eight Succubus sisters and asked whether the old man truly thought her power was meant to fight him.

Tanamo combined the power of the Succubus race with the power in her ring to attack the old man and demand Lady Lilith’s Authority. After he wounded her with lightning, she retaliated by threading him with dark strands that appeared to drain his power.

• Tanamo compressed her aura and fused it with the power in her ring, alarming Xikete and Shen Yi.
• Tanamo demanded that the old man hand over Lady Lilith’s Authority, but he criticized her use of the Succubus race’s reserves and God's Remnants.
• Tanamo unleashed her gathered power and shattered the old man’s lightning defense.
• The old man startled Tanamo by revealing he knew about Lady Lilith’s legacy, then struck her through the chest with scarlet lightning.
• Tanamo accused the old man of stealing and polluting Lilith’s power, then sent dark threads into him that began drawing away his lightning.

Tanamo stripped the old man of most of his power and asked Shen Yi and Winnie to take Lilith’s lightning pearl. After Winnie rescued Tanamo and revealed her overwhelming strength, she and Shen Yi faced the surrounding crowd, with Winnie proposing to take several supervisors along too.

• Tanamo used her power and the Succubus race’s power to strip the old man of ninety percent of his strength, leaving Lilith’s lightning pearl behind.
• Tanamo asked Shen Yi and Winnie to take the pearl, saying Shen Yi carried something left behind by Lady Lilith, then fell from the sky.
• Shen Yi ordered Winnie to retrieve the pearl, and she sent aside the people who tried to stop her before bringing Tanamo back as well.
• Winnie questioned Shen Yi for helping Tanamo despite her withholding the truth, and Shen Yi said Tanamo knew he possessed something left behind by Lilith.
• Winnie released her golden power and confronted the surrounding crowd, while Xikete demanded to know who she and Shen Yi were.
• Winnie suggested taking several supervisors with them, and Shen Yi agreed.

Shen Yi and Winnie dealt with the Shadow World experts, captured the ten overseers, and sent the others away under threat. Shen Yi then used spatial transposition to take the unconscious old man, surprising Winnie with his mastery of the power.

• Winnie compressed and captured the ten overseers in Shen Yi's space.
• Xikete respectfully asked Shen Yi whether they were friends of the Succubus race, and Shen Yi replied that they were more or less.
• Winnie threatened Xikete and his clan into keeping quiet, then ordered him to leave with the other Shadow World experts.
• Shen Yi explained that the Shadow World respected strength and used his power to seize the unconscious old man from a distance.
• Winnie recognized Shen Yi's spatial transposition and questioned how he had mastered it without Space-type Authority.

Shen Yi and Winnie tried to learn the old man's secrets, but his weakened soul could not withstand a search. Winnie instead searched a supervisor and found that her memories had been erased, leading them to suspect the old man had created the supervisors using Authorities.

• Shen Yi explained that he had compressed the space between himself and the old man rather than teleporting or displacing either of them.
• Shen Yi found that the old man's soul was too fragile to endure a memory search after Tanamo stripped away his power.
• Winnie searched a supervisor's soul and discovered it held almost no memories, only commands to obey the old man and forget the past.
• Winnie determined that the supervisor's commands matched the length of her destiny, suggesting she had existed only briefly.
• Shen Yi proposed that the supervisors might be artificial lifeforms, and Tanamo and Winnie considered whether the old man had created them by dispersing the remaining Authorities.
