• Cilia ordered Andres to patrol Noah Continent, where he found no Beastmen but detected an unusual trace deep in the Mogan Mountain Range.
• Andres flew to a valley of Fire Dragons and searched the Level Nine Fire Dragon’s cave until he found the source of the anomaly.

Andres discovered a Magic Array that might seal a Spatial Weak Point leading to the Dylan Material Plane’s Plane Prison, but chose not to disturb it. After Cilia ordered him to join Lulutia against Leighton, he crossed to the Sacred Tree Continent and headed for the Holy Alliance, where the Elves’ Saint Realm True Bodies had gathered.

• Cilia transformed into a Giant Tree, and Faruk’s attack struck it and set its branches ablaze.

• Andres noticed Cilia and Lulutia turn pale, and Lulutia told him something had happened in Yasen City.

Teresa returned to Yasen City and watched Yasen battle the Beastman Demigod Gogurt while Ivan learned why Yasen’s independent godhood gave him an advantage. After Gogurt used a Soul Attack to distract Yasen, Teresa severed Yasen’s neck from behind, leaving the battle’s outcome uncertain.

Decades earlier, Creig rescued Lyle and entrusted him with his newborn son, Teresa, asking him to conceal the child’s parentage. Years later, after discovering the truth about his father’s death and the Yasen Family’s role, Teresa avenged him by killing Yasen.

• Creig saved Lyle from Beastmen outside Chih River City and asked him to raise his newborn son in secret.

• Teresa returned to Chih River City seeking traces of his parents, then resolved to avenge Creig.
• Above Yasen City, Teresa recalled his past as Yasen’s head fell.

Teresa killed Yasen’s God Clone to avenge his father, Creig, then joined the Beastmen under Faruk as their army advanced on Yasen City. Yasen and the other God-level experts learned of the killing, while Yasen accepted the revenge as settling the old grievance.

• Teresa cut off Yasen’s head, shattered the soul inside his Godhead, and revealed that Creig was his father.

• Gogurt ordered the Beastmen army to attack Yasen City, expecting no one there could stop them.
• Yasen told the God-level experts that Teresa was Creig’s son, and Lulutia sent word to Cilia about Yasen’s fallen God Clone.
• Yasen reflected on Creig’s death and accepted Teresa’s vengeance as the settling of their grievance.

After Teresa killed Yasen’s Wind Element God Clone, the Elves struggled to find a way to save Yasen City while Faruk and Leighton stalled them. In the battle against Leighton, Andres fused the Swiftness and Slowness Profound Mysteries and became a Middle God.

• Yasen accepted that losing his Wind Element God Clone had ended his chance to cultivate the Wind Elemental Law, and focused on saving Yasen City’s residents.
• Cilia decided the Elves had to drive back Faruk and Leighton before they could send help to Yasen City.

• Andres fused the Swiftness and Slowness Profound Mysteries, and the Heavenly Law transformed his Wind Element Lesser Godhead into a Middle God Godhead.

Andres broke through to Middle God and killed Faruk with Cilia’s help. After completing Leighton’s Binding Quest, Andres gained a two-clone Soul Mutation talent and made the freed Leighton his servant.

• Andres became a Middle God, then overwhelmed Leighton and charged at Faruk while promising Leighton freedom if he stopped risking his life.
• Cilia dazed Faruk with a Soul Attack, allowing Andres to destroy all three of Faruk’s bodies and souls with a sword strike.
• Andres completed Leighton’s Binding Quest and chose the two-clone Soul Mutation talent, gaining the ability to sense and cultivate the Fire Elemental Law with his Wind Element God Clone.
• Andres collected Faruk’s Space Ring and Godheads, then offered Leighton freedom only if he signed a Master-Servant Contract.
• Leighton accepted the contract, and he bowed to Andres as his new master.

After Faruk’s death left the Beastmen facing the Elves’ two Middle Gods, Teresa and Gogurt fled toward the eastern sea’s Plane Teleportation Arrays. They arrived too late to prevent six Middle Gods from Hell from entering the Dylan Plane, and four of them set out to act while two guarded the array.

• Andres prepared to reinforce Yasen City, but Leighton suggested the Beastmen would retreat after Faruk’s death.
• Gogurt learned that Andres and Cilia had killed Faruk, then abandoned his plan to execute Trevor and the other Human Saint Realm experts.

• Six Middle Gods from Hell emerged from a Plane Teleportation Array and discussed how weak the Dylan Plane’s gravity, spatial restraint, and elemental energy were.
• The Scaled Man agreed to send four Middle Gods onward while two stayed behind to guard the Teleportation Array.

Four Middle Gods from another plane arrived on the Dylan Plane, controlled Teresa and Gogurt to learn about its God-level experts, and headed for the Holy Alliance. Andres and Cilia recognized the approaching threat and sent the Saint Realm True Bodies away while preparing to face the newcomers.

• Holan and the other three Middle Gods met Teresa and Gogurt, and the Bald Elder used death-law Soul Control to make them obey him.
• Teresa and Gogurt revealed information about the Dylan Plane's God-level experts, including Cilia and Andres, and Holan ordered them to wait at the Teleportation Array.
• The four Middle Gods flew toward the Holy Alliance, dismissing the plane's weaker inhabitants and deciding to deal with Cilia and Andres first.
• Andres and Cilia sensed the four Middle Gods approaching, and Andres suspected they had come from another plane through the Plane Teleportation Array.
• Cilia told Lulutia and the others to leave, and the Saint Realm True Bodies departed while Andres kept Leighton with him.

Andres and Cilia confronted four Middle Gods from Hell, who planned to kill most of the Dylan Plane’s inhabitants to harvest Soul Essence. As the battle began, Andres exploited Leite’s overconfidence and killed him, leaving the fight against Holan and the others unresolved.

• Lulutia flew south while Andres, Cilia, and Leighton waited for the four Middle Gods to arrive.
• Holan revealed that his group came from Hell to collect Soul Essence by killing more than ninety percent of the Dylan Plane’s living beings.
• Cilia attacked Holan’s group, but Leite and Barnaby joined forces to neutralize her strike.
• Holan assigned Leite and Barnaby to fight Cilia, then charged Faruk while Unica targeted Andres.
• Andres identified Leite as the weakest opponent and used the Essence of Speed to catch him off guard and destroy his Godhead and soul.

Andres and his allies fought Holan’s group, killing Leite and Barnaby before the surviving enemies fled toward the Plane Teleportation Array. Andres suspected they were controlled by a Highgod and warned Cilia that a stronger enemy might still be coming.

• Andres killed Leite with a single sword strike and ordered Cilia and Leighton to fight Barnaby while he faced Holan and Unica.
• Leighton’s Fused Divine Power damaged Barnaby, and Barnaby’s Soul Control failed because Leighton had undergone a Soul Mutation.
• Cilia and Leighton killed Barnaby, while Holan summoned two reinforcements from the Plane Teleportation Array.
• Holan and Unica fled to join their allies, and Andres chose not to pursue them after sensing the danger of the reinforcements.
• Andres told Cilia he suspected a Highgod had used Soul Control on Holan’s group, and Cilia suggested gathering the God-level experts to discuss what to do.

After Barnaby's death, Teresa and Gogurt escaped through a Plane Teleportation Array while Holan's group waited for their master to arrive. At the Holy Alliance, Andres and Cilia led the God-level experts toward the Goblin Merchant Guild, hoping Babatonde's defensive Magic Array could protect them from the stronger Hell experts.

• Teresa and Gogurt regained their freedom from Soul Control, then used a Plane Teleportation Array to leave.
• Holan learned that their master could not come yet because he was fighting resistance in another Material Plane, so he and the others guarded the array.
• Andres told the Holy Alliance that he and Cilia had no hope of defeating a Highgod, leaving the assembled God-level experts despondent.
• Cilia and the others recalled Babatonde's defensive Magic Array, which had once stopped Faruk, and decided to seek shelter at the Goblin Merchant Guild.
• Andres and Cilia hurried to the Guild's island headquarters while discussing the strength of Babatonde's array.

Andres and Cilia sought the Goblin Merchant Guild’s Boulder Guard Magic Array as protection against the Highgod they suspected was backing Holan. While Babatonde worked to fix the array after it failed under Cilia’s activation, Andres absorbed soul essence Cilia gave him, and Babatonde finally made progress after three days.

• Babatonde told Andres and Cilia that Teresa was Creig’s son and had fled east with Gogurt after Faruk died.
• Andres warned Babatonde that Holan’s group might be waiting for a Highgod and asked whether the Guild’s defensive array could withstand one.
• Babatonde revealed the Boulder Guard’s strength depended on the activator’s divine and soul power, then taught Andres and Cilia how to activate it.
• Cilia activated the Boulder Guard, but its barrier flickered out, so Babatonde began investigating the failure.
• Andres and Cilia searched the Space Rings of Leite and Barnaby, and Cilia gave Andres the soul essence from Barnaby’s ring.
• Andres absorbed the soul essence while Babatonde studied the array, and Babatonde achieved a result after three days.

Andres and Cilia activated the Boulder Guard but learned it could protect only their small island, so Andres found the Spatial Gate to the Plane Prison and began organizing the relocation of the Dylan Plane’s inhabitants there. The chapter ended with Andres taking Babatonde into the Mogan Mountain Range to show him something in compensation for the destroyed sealing array.

• Cilia successfully activated the Boulder Guard, but Babatonde warned that its coverage could extend no farther than the island.
• Andres realized the Dylan Plane’s inhabitants might be moved into the Plane Prison and recognized the Goblin Merchant Guild’s mysterious array as the seal around its Spatial Gate.
• Andres split the array with a Dimension Slash, opening the gate, and he, Cilia, and Babatonde explored the empty Plane Prison.
• Cilia agreed to notify the various races’ God-level experts, while Babatonde arranged for the Goblin Merchant Guild to prepare for evacuation.
• Andres returned to Oga City, told Inori and his family to prepare to relocate, and then flew with Babatonde toward the Mogan Mountain Range.

Andres brought Babatonde to study a Magic Array sealing a Spatial Weak Point, then evacuated the Fire Dragons and prepared the races of the Sacred Tree Continent for migration to the Plane Prison. Ten years later, Andres achieved Fire Elemental Godhood but still needed to master another Profound Mystery to reach Middle God.

• Andres showed Babatonde the Magic Array in the Mogan Mountain Range, and Babatonde recognized it as a simpler version of the array sealing the Spatial Gate.
• Andres explained that he wanted Babatonde to learn the array and seal Spatial Weak Points from the Plane Prison side, and Babatonde agreed to study it.
• Andres destroyed the Magic Array, then took the Ninth Rank Fire Dragon and its clan with him toward Oga City.
• Cilia ordered the races of the Sacred Tree Continent to prepare for migration, while Babatonde studied the array and Goblin Merchant Guild experts searched for more Spatial Weak Points.
• After ten years of cultivation, Andres mastered the Fire Element Profound Mystery and formed a Fire Elemental Demigod Clone, but estimated that reaching Middle God would take several more decades.
