Chapter Summaries

Andres bound the Heart of Storms and began cultivating the Wind Elemental Law in the Coffit Plane, leaving Diya to manage the plane and expand his influence. A hundred thousand years later, Andres reviewed intelligence on potential Sovereign Spark candidates and learned that Orenth, master of Lake Punis, wanted to meet him.

• Andres killed the twin Seven-star Demons guarding the Heart of Storms, bound the sphere with his blood, and found that he could perceive the Wind Elemental Law far more clearly.
• Andres ordered Diya to handle the Coffit Plane, expand his influence in the Heaven Realm, and cooperate with his people at Iron Saber Gorge.
• Andres left his Wind Element God Clone to cultivate in the Coffit Plane, while his forces established Iron Saber Castle's intelligence network across the Four Supreme Planes over the next hundred thousand years.
• Andres reviewed reports on powerful figures who might obtain Sovereign Sparks and told Leighton which candidates to monitor.
• Leighton informed Andres that Orenth, the master of Lake Punis, wished to see him.

Orenth came to Andres seeking help avenging his Dark God Clone, which Teresa had killed in the Netherworld. Andres agreed to go with him, and they traveled to the Netherworld to confront her.

• Andres found that Orenth's binding quest had changed to helping him get revenge.
• Orenth revealed that he was a member of the Brahma race and explained that Teresa had killed his Dark God Clone.
• Andres and Leighton realized that Teresa had become one of the Netherworld's most powerful experts, near Commander-level strength.
• Andres agreed to help Orenth, who promised to serve him if they killed Teresa.
• Andres left instructions with Leighton and traveled with Orenth to the Netherworld through the Teleportation Array.

Andres learned that Teresa was competing for the Heart of the Netherworld, a treasure that greatly enhanced death-law comprehension and increased its owner's strength tenfold. He headed with Orenth toward Nether Mountain, where the still-forming treasure remained and powerful experts were gathering.

• Andres and Orenth left Undead Sacred Mountain in a Metal Life as Andres asked where Orenth's Dark God Clone had fought Teresa and why.
• Orenth explained that Teresa had fought him over the Heart of the Netherworld and was likely still waiting for it to finish forming.
• Orenth said the Heart of the Netherworld increased death-law comprehension nearly ten thousandfold and drew on the Undead Realm's power to multiply its owner's strength tenfold.
• Andres learned the Heart of the Netherworld could not leave Nether Mountain while it was still forming and that more powerful experts might have arrived there over the decades.
• Andres considered the threat posed by the Death Sovereign and urged Orenth to fly to Nether Mountain at full speed.

Andres and Orenth entered Nether Mountain and climbed toward the Heart of the Netherworld, finding the summit crowded with powerful experts. They reached the summit and saw Teresa fighting beside the Heart.

• Andres saw that Nether Mountain lacked the Tri-Colored Mist he remembered from the original work and suspected it had appeared after the Death Sovereign settled there.

• Andres and Orenth climbed toward the summit as they encountered Highgods and learned that many Five-star and Six-star Demons had gathered there.
• Andres and Orenth reached the summit, where Orenth identified the blood-red crystal as the Heart of the Netherworld.
• Andres saw Teresa wielding a Giant Scythe in a battle on the summit.

Teresa used the Heart of the Netherworld to overwhelm Elvie, Kurtz, and Rayman until Andres arrived and struck him with a powerful Dimension Slash. Andres revealed his White Tiger Innate Divine Ability as the battle turned toward a decisive confrontation.

• Andres and Orenth arrived at Nether Mountain and saw Teresa suppressing Elvie, Kurtz, and Rayman with the Heart of the Netherworld’s power.

• Teresa attacked Andres, but Andres’s Dimension Slash cut through his blade light and shocked him.
• Elvie, Kurtz, and Rayman stopped fighting and retreated, while Andres revealed the phantom of a white tiger and activated Tiger Roar.

Andres killed Teresa and claimed the Heart of the Netherworld, then defeated the Commanders who tried to stop him. He waited on Nether Mountain for the Heart to mature and explored his newly acquired Soul Splitting ability, just as several figures arrived at the summit.

• Andres used Tiger Roar to kill Teresa and claimed the Heart of the Netherworld with a drop of blood.
• Andres resisted Elvie, Kurtz, and Rayman's attacks, then killed Elvie, Kurtz, and Rayman as they tried to flee.

• Andres collected the dead Commanders' Godheads and Space Rings, then waited for the Heart of the Netherworld to mature.
• Andres explored Soul Splitting and considered using it to keep two future Lord God Clones separate.
• Several people ascended to the summit while Andres examined his new ability.

Andres encountered Ophelia, the Death Sovereign, at the Heart of the Netherworld and refused to surrender the heart he had bound. Their fight began, and Andres suspected Ophelia had developed a Main God Artifact-level body.

• Ophelia shattered Andres's Purple Longsword with a barehanded punch, sending him flying.
• Andres put away the damaged sword, drew another Highgod Artifact, and challenged Ophelia to prove the strength of her body.

Andres and Ophelia fought atop Nether Mountain, matching his overwhelming speed and power against her nearly invulnerable body. As their battle continued, Yibai'er watched in shock as Andres proved far stronger than expected.

• Andres and Ophelia clashed repeatedly, opening and sealing spatial rifts above Nether Mountain's summit.
• Yibai'er watched Andres fight and realized he had grown far stronger than he had been a hundred thousand years earlier.

Ophelia and Andres fought to a standstill, with Ophelia’s extraordinary bodily strength and defense surprising Andres. After her Commander-level Soul Attack failed to affect him, Ophelia unleashed her Innate Divine Ability, Death Coil, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Andres countered Ophelia's Innate Divine Ability and failed to banish her through a spatial rift when she escaped Spatial Confinement.
• Andres told Orenth to leave for the Undead Sacred Mountain while he stayed to wait for the Heart of the Netherworld to mature.

• Andres caught up with Orenth in a Metal Life, and they traveled together toward the Undead Sacred Mountain.

Riding celebrated the Four Divine Beasts' perfected Combined Innate Divine Ability and Gaisreisen's awakened Azure Dragon bloodline, then learned that Andres could use the family's Innate Divine Abilities. He decided to bring Andres into the family through Nimo, while Andres received a system reward and chose Dragon's Roar.

• Riding and the other Four Divine Beasts perfected their Combined Innate Divine Ability, and Gaisreisen awakened his Azure Dragon bloodline with Claude's Dragon Transformation Crystal.

• Riding thanked Andres for helping Gaisreisen and proposed that Andres marry Nimo to deepen the cooperation between their sides.

Riding proposed that Andres marry Nimo to unite the Four Divine Beasts Family and Iron Saber Gorge, leaving Andres conflicted until news of Yibai'er’s arrival in the Abyss Plane interrupted him. Ophelia and Vivian then appeared at Iron Saber Gorge demanding the Heart of the Netherworld, and Andres went to face them while Lulutia and the others stayed behind.

• Riding, Bowen, and Lius urged Andres to marry Nimo, while Nimo waited for his answer and Lulutia unexpectedly supported the match.

Lulutia organized Iron Saber Gorge’s Highgods while the Four Divine Beasts chose to watch Andres’s confrontation with Ophelia and Vivian before deciding whether to help. As Andres faced the two women, Uthered battled Yibai’er in the Abyss Plane and gained the upper hand.

• Lulutia rejected Cilia’s suggestion to leave and gathered Iron Saber Gorge’s Highgods to support Andres if an opportunity arose.
• Riding and the Four Divine Beasts decided to observe the battle, since Andres could use some of their Innate Divine Abilities and might be better left to Ophelia and Vivian.
• Andres recognized Vivian as a Paragon-level Life Rule Upper God, while Ophelia demanded that he hand over the Heart of the Netherworld and threatened the Abyss Plane.
• Andres trusted Uthered to hold off Yibai’er, who had gone to reclaim the Abyss Plane.
• Uthered fought Yibai’er with his Black Spear, claiming his strength now surpassed Yibai’er’s after he obtained the Heart of Destruction.
• Uthered knocked Yibai’er’s Black Longsword aside and thrust his spear toward Yibai’er’s head.

Youming helped Yibai'er attack Uthered, but Uthered’s newly strengthened body and Soul Prison let him kill Yibai'er. Andres received the reward for Uthered’s victory and gained the Dark Kun’s physical defense talent, then faced Ophelia and Vivian as they prepared to attack over the Heart of the Netherworld.

• Youming used his Netherworld Fruit Tree ability to distract Uthered, giving Yibai'er an opening to strike.

• Andres examined his improved defenses and concluded that his body had not yet reached sovereign artifact level.
• Ophelia accused Andres of refusing to hand over the Heart of the Netherworld and secretly coordinated with Vivian to attack.

Ophelia and Vivian joined forces to attack Andres with Soul Attacks, exploiting his momentary daze to set up a physical strike. Lulutia’s group tried to intervene, but Ophelia brushed aside their attacks and reached Andres unharmed.

• Lulutia sent the assembled Highgod Soldiers to attack Ophelia with physical and Soul Attacks.
• Ophelia evaded or blocked the Soul Attacks and ignored the physical attacks, reaching Andres without injury.

Ophelia then threatened to banish Andres into Spatial Turbulence unless he surrendered the Heart of the Netherworld.

• Ophelia warned Andres that she could banish him into Spatial Turbulence and demanded that he hand over the Heart of the Netherworld.

Andres used his arriving Wind Element God Clone to force Ophelia and Vivian to retreat from Iron Saber Gorge. Afterward, he rejected the Four Divine Beasts’ marriage proposal, and Nimo’s Binding Quest changed to “Revenge on Andres.”

After the Sovereign Sparks descended across the Four Supreme Planes, Andres learned their locations and resolved to pursue several, especially the Wind and Fire High Godheads. He dispatched his god clones to compete for multiple Sparks and headed for the Heaven Realm with his original body and Wind Element God Clone.

• Hundreds of millions of years passed as Leighton and Agni built a family, while Andres and Lulutia lived together but struggled to have a child.
