Chapter Summaries

Jie Ning thanked Dikas for the divine spark that had helped create Super Intelligence and gave him two Water Element Divine Sparks so he could become a High-level God. When Stan and Elsa arrived to assess Bana Continent as a home for the Four Divine Beast Clans, they discovered Jie Ning had become a Sovereign, and he welcomed their clansmen to settle there.

• Jie Ning welcomed Dikas to the City of Life and thanked him for the divine spark that had helped create Super Intelligence.

• Stan explained that the Four Divine Beast Clans wanted to relocate clansmen to a Material Plane, and Jie Ning invited them to settle on Bana Continent.
• Stan declined Jie Ning's offer to leave the continent's faith to the Four Divine Beast Clan Sovereigns, and Jie Ning wondered about the clan's plans after the two visitors departed.

The Four Divine Beasts confirmed Jie Ning was a Life Sovereign and learned that his Material Plane contained a vast Magic Array cycling life and death energies. Inspired by it, Bowen developed a way to prevent energy loss in their combined Innate Divine Ability, and the four successfully created an attack powerful enough to threaten an Overlord.

• Bowen spent three thousand years developing the array, and Leding, Bowen, Nemo, and Us successfully unleashed a combined attack boosted by at least ten thousand times.

Sovereign Sparks sparked wars across the Supreme Planes, eventually dividing the Overlords and their followers into rival factions. Jie Ning and Zi Jing discussed the shifting alliances and learned that the Four Divine Beasts had entered a cooperative arrangement with the Destruction Chief Sovereign, whose ability to withstand their combined attack left Jie Ning wondering whether a Great Perfection Sovereign could resist it.

• Jie Ning planned to copy the records and send them to every Overgod, hoping changes in Material Plane faiths would disrupt the Elemental Overlords’ power.
• Rias agreed that the information could trigger a conflict, and reports reaching the Overgods sparked alarm as the chaos began.

Of challenged Rias over the deaths of his followers, but Rias, Utred, and Vivian forced him to accept the new arrangements, leaving Hell's balance of power unsettled.

• Rias and Jie Ning returned to the Underworld, where Rias killed Nut and took his Death Sovereign Spark after Of arrived too late to intervene.

• Jie Ning revealed his four Overgod Avatars, and Utred agreed that Jie Ning's share of Hell's territory would belong to Dannington.

The chapter ended with Wenman attacking the Four Divine Beasts, who prepared to use their combined Innate Divine Ability against him.

• Of found Yerish in his hidden residence, killed him, took his Light Divine Spark, and confirmed he had no other Divine Avatars.
• At Of’s direction, Augusta gathered children and built a public image as their father while the war’s balance shifted after Yerish disappeared.

• Jie Ning and Zi Jing discussed Augusta’s sudden rise before hearing Leding accuse Wenman of attacking the Four Divine Beasts.
• Wenman’s sneak attack injured Bowen, and Leding and his siblings prepared to unleash their combined Innate Divine Ability against him.

The Four Divine Beasts killed Wenman with their combined Innate Divine Ability, but the Water Element High Godhead became the prize in a struggle among several Sovereigns.

• Jie Ning resolved to seek a way to gather Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire in his true body.

Jie Ning and Rias discovered that the Acheron Plane could support a new Magic Array, allowing Rias’s Water and Death Divine Planes to grow stronger through a shared cycle. After establishing the array, Rias began turning the plane into an Overlord’s Treasury, and rumors of its prizes drew powerful figures from the Underworld.

• Jie Ning explained that the Acheron Plane’s native undead made it suitable for combining Water and Death energies without destroying the plane.
• Several thousand years later, Rias opened her two Divine Planes and, with Jie Ning’s help, completed a Magic Array connecting them to the Acheron Plane.
• Rias decided to create an Overlord’s Treasury with trials and recruited troublesome Underworld figures as Gatekeepers; Jie Ning suggested varied challenges and a tavern that would conceal Rias’s identity.
• Rias spent several hundred years altering the Acheron Plane and her Divine Planes to prepare the Treasury.
• Rumors spread that an Overgod’s treasure awaited challengers in a Material Plane and that powerful Underworld figures had been captured to guard it.
• Reports that Jie Ning appeared in the Underworld carrying a Divine Artifact intensified interest in the Treasury.

• Jie Ning observed the construction of Teleportation Arrays in the God Planes and on Bana Continent, gaining inspiration for his own study.

Rias turned Hulley’s proposed alliance into a way to draw Gods to the Acheron Plane’s God Game Arena, while Jie Ning discovered he could choose which Teleportation Array he emerged from. Later, the Overgods Supreme created the Plane Battlefield and announced wars with Willpower Enhancement as the reward, leaving the Sovereigns to discuss rules before the first war in fifty billion years.

• Hulley asked Zi Jing to join forces, but Rias arrived and sent him to invite Gods to her Acheron Plane game arena.

• After Hulley challenged Jie Ning's status, Vivian ruled that Overlords could not attack Jie Ning and that Jie Ning could not attack Middle Gods or Lower Gods; Hulley accepted, and Utred adjourned the meeting.

Jie Ning discovered that his Earth God Avatar had not become a complete Purple Crystal Divine Beast, then joined Purple Thorn in a soul transformation at the core of the Purple Crystal Mountain Range. Meanwhile, Rias achieved Great Perfection in the Death Rule after Jie Ning helped her notice life emerging from death in a river on the Acheron Plane.

• Jie Ning examined his fused Earth God Avatar and concluded that, despite its Purple Crystal Divine Beast bloodline and Soul Stone, its soul remained human because his divine avatars were connected.

After Rias named the river-born race Demons, the river the Underworld River, and the Acheron Plane an Abyss, Jie Ning and Zi Jing reunited after tens of thousands of years and discovered their merged souls had advanced their Earth Law insights. The chapter ended with Jie Ning and Zi Jing expecting a son they named Leis Jing, while Earth and Water Overgods grew impatient and began considering other ways to gain power.

• Jie Ning and Zi Jing discussed their new insights and joked about becoming Earth Law Great Perfections, while Jie Ning privately considered Of and Augusta potential threats.

Hulun escaped Maha and Ikashi by sacrificing his Wind God Avatar and fleeing to the Life God Realm, prompting Vivian and the other Rule Overlords to summon a God Conference and pursue gods who had broken their restrictions.

• Leis Jing accepted the loss and promised to win next time, and he and Meini began traveling around the Bana Continent.

After Meini learned that the Four Divine Beasts Clan could awaken Innate Divine Abilities in its descendants, Jie Ning decided to help her and investigate how the clan’s Ancestral Hall Baptism worked. He traveled to Hell to ask the clan leaders for its secret, but Leding warned him that the truth might not be what he expected.

• Leis Jing defeated Fladen, and Fladen told Anton, Leis Jing, and Meini about four clans whose members awakened Innate Divine Abilities.
• Anton recognized the Bowen Clan as a branch of the Xuanwu Clan, and Lemo Bowen explained that eligible descendants received a Divine Avatar and awakened an Innate Divine Ability through the Ancestral Hall Baptism in Hell.

• Jie Ning decided to study the baptism’s bloodline mechanism and traveled to the Sky Sacrifice Mountain Range to meet Leding, Bowen, and the other clan leaders.
• Jie Ning offered to trade for the secret of the Ancestral Hall Baptism, and Leding began explaining that it was different from what Jie Ning thought.
