Chapter Summaries

Jie Ning learned how the Four Divine Beasts Clan used bloodline-charged Crystal Stones to awaken descendants’ Innate Divine Abilities and watched an Ancestral Hall Baptism with Meini. After receiving a Crystal Stone, he promised to find a way for Meini to awaken her ability and began another plan by traveling toward Nether Mountain.

• Leding explained that the Four Divine Beasts Clan’s Crystal Stones stored bloodline energy and enabled its descendants’ Bloodline Awakening, and he gave Jie Ning a transparent Crystal Stone.
• Jie Ning brought Anton, Leis Jing, and Meini to visit Zi Jing, then took them to the Four Divine Beasts Clan so Meini could observe its Ancestral Hall Baptism.

Anton received permission to travel through Hell with protective gifts, while Leis Jing remained in the Purple Crystal Mountain Range under Zi Jing’s conditions.

• Anton insisted on staying in Hell, and Jie Ning agreed after giving him Divine Artifacts while Zi Jing provided Overgod Power and protective projections.

Bache bought a bloodline awakening for his son Peyna, while Jie Ning’s service secretly gathered Divine Beast bloodline energy. After Of arranged to steal the Spirit Absorbing Trees, Rias suspected him or Utred and summoned Of to help investigate, unaware that Of was the culprit.

• Bache paid for one bloodline awakening, gave the service his Quintessence Blood, and provided his details to the staff, who secretly sent the information and blood to Jie Ning.

• Of concealed the stolen goods and agreed to accompany Isaac to the Underworld, unaware that Rias already suspected him.

Rias accused Of of robbing Ghost Castle and fought him in the Spatial Turbulence, where she initially held the advantage but could not defeat him. After other Overgods stopped the battle, Rias turned her attention to Hulley, while Utred began proposing that her Bloodline Awakening service expand into Hell.

• Rias asked Of to investigate Ghost Castle in Donuocheng, but his search found no traces, and she accused him of being the culprit behind the theft.
• Of and Rias fought in the Spatial Turbulence; Rias revealed she had reached Death Great Perfection, while Of revealed an additional Sovereign Doppelganger and resisted her attacks.
• Jie Ning and Zi Jing watched as Rias's fighting spirit waned, then Utred and Vivian intervened and ended the clash before either Overlord could win.
• Of claimed his extra Sovereign Doppelganger came from a previous Sovereign Spark, and Rias agreed to let him go after Vivian urged her to spare him.
• Utred began asking Rias about expanding Bloodline Awakening into Hell, but Rias interrupted him when Hulley arrived and asked whether the others objected to her handling a private matter.
• Rias, Of, Utred, and Vivian all looked toward Hulley, who grew uneasy about what they intended to do.

Rias revealed that she had become a Death Paragon, killed Hulley after he tried to use Jie Ning as a hostage, and agreed to surrender Hulley’s Lightning Sovereign Spark in exchange for Bloodline Awakening services across the planes. The Overgods divided into rival factions, while Rias gave Jie Ning the Earth Sovereign Spark and Vivian discovered that Rias and Jie Ning had a child.

• Rias blocked Hulley’s escape and repeatedly whipped him, revealing that she had become a Paragon of the Death Rule.
• The four Death Sovereigns asked Jie Ning to plead with Rias on their behalf, and Jie Ning reassured them that Hulley’s death might win her favor.

• Rias used the Heart of the Underworld to empower herself and erased Hulley, leaving behind his Lightning Sovereign Spark.

• Bai Ze defeated a blue-robed opponent, and Rias and Jie Ning revealed themselves after he detected their presence with his inborn ability.
• Jie Ning questioned Bai Ze about Tong Ming and learned that it organized and extrapolated information using the user's existing knowledge and insights.
• Jie Ning took Bai Ze to his birthplace, made him an Overgod's Envoy, and gave him a Battle Armor in exchange for research; Bai Ze's wife and child later joined him.
• After a thousand years of research, Jie Ning remodeled the valley's Magic Arrays and used Wind God's Sovereign's Might to place part of his soul into an unborn Bai Ze Divine Beast, creating a Wind God Avatar.
• Jie Ning used the same method to obtain a Water Element Divine Avatar and planted Soul Seeds in Wind and Water Saint Realm cultivators to help his Divine Avatars advance.

Utred and Of formed an alliance to secure Hell’s path toward ten consecutive Plane War victories, while the exposure of Of and Augusta as the same person forced the Overgods to rearrange the matchups. After the God Conference, Rias revealed that Senel had pledged the Dark God Plane to her, leaving the Wind God Plane’s choice undecided.

• Utred proposed an alliance with Of, offering support in exchange for Of helping Hell achieve ten consecutive Plane War victories.
• Utred confronted Of with evidence that Augusta was his other Overgod Doppelganger, and Of admitted the truth before both swore oaths to support each other.
• Utred traced the information about Of and Augusta to Jie Ning, and the secret spread through Hell until Rias confirmed it at a God Conference.
• Rias convened the Overgods, and Utred changed the matchups so Hell would face the Light God Plane while the Heavenly Realm faced the Fire God Plane.
• Jie Ning warned Rias that Of and Utred seemed allied, and Rias explained that Senel had pledged the Dark God Plane to her after learning Augusta was Of.

The Plane Wars ended with the Earth God Plane defeating the Lightning God Plane, the Underworld and Hell winning through uncontested passages, and the Wind and Water God Planes fighting to a draw. At the God Conference, the Four Rule Overlords established rules for future wars, including participant requirements and limits on Sovereign Artifacts and Overgod's Envoys.

• Zi Jing used Jie Ning's advice to secretly recruit powerful experts with Sovereign Artifacts, and the Earth God Plane defeated Hannibal's Lightning God Plane.
• The Light God Plane and Dark God Plane offered little resistance, allowing Hell and the Underworld to claim victories, while Dia accepted help for the Wind God Plane.

• Vivian proposed rules for Plane Wars at the God Conference, and the Overgods agreed that participants would be Prefecture Lords or equivalent regional lords who brought soldiers as commanders.
• Utred proposed restricting Sovereign Artifacts and limiting each Overgod's Envoys; Jie Ning challenged Augusta over the Bula Clan, and Of agreed to the restrictions.
• Of ruled that a descendant of two Overgods could possess only one Sovereign Artifact, while Jie Ning privately noted he still had artifacts left by the dead.

After the first Plane War ended, Jie Ning arranged a hidden Divine Plane treasure hunt to give Anton a chance at another Sovereign Artifact for Serina. Anton reached Sting’s ruins amid a crowd of competing Highgods and helped organize them to confront the thirteen powerful guardians blocking the castle.

• A Highgod destroyed a small Plane and uncovered the entrance to Sting’s Divine Plane, prompting the gathered experts to rush inside.
• The experts encountered thirteen Metal Lifeforms wielding Sovereign’s Might, and Anton proposed dividing into teams to fight them.
• The Azure Wing Demon supported Anton’s plan, and the crowd formed twelve teams while Anton prepared to face the remaining guardian alone.

Anton defeated a golem in Jie Ning’s hidden Divine Plane, found a Space Ring, and left with a material attack Sovereign Artifact while the other visitors fought over Sovereign’s Might. Years later, Jie Ning and Zi Jing became Paragons, and Jie Ning began telling Rias about a possible way to make the Acheron Plane less boring.

• Anton used his Material Defense Divine Artifact to withstand a golem’s punch, shattered its chest with his Stone Hammer, and took its Crystal Bead.
• Anton found and refined a Space Ring hidden on a Jade Statue, then entered the Castle with the other visitors and suggested they search separately.
• Gar discovered the Castle’s dwindled pool of Sovereign’s Might and fled with what he could gather, prompting Azure Wing to rally the others against him.

• Jie Ning and Zi Jing comprehended the Earth Law together and became Paragons, with Zi Jing becoming a Paragon Ruler.
• Rias complained that the Acheron Plane’s God Game Arena had grown boring, and Jie Ning began describing an idea to her.

• Rias ordered the demons of the Acheron Plane to reshape it into a suitable venue for the Abyss trials, while Jie Ning planned the next stage of his scheme.

Rias showed Jie Ning Senel’s Angel Rebirth Pool and ordered Senel to build up Twelve-Winged Dark Angels for the Underworld’s future war against the Heavenly Realm. After Rias helped Jie Ning accept how he had changed, his Life and Destiny Overlord Doppelgangers became Paragons; meanwhile, a present-day Plane War revealed a deeper alliance between Of and Utred as Hell neared ten consecutive wins.

Hell won the Plane War’s first Ten Consecutive Wins, earning the Destruction Overgods a Willpower Enhancement. Jie Ning challenged Utred and revealed the power of his Four Realms Reincarnation Array, but Utred produced a Supreme God Token that scattered Jie Ning’s attack, shifting Jie Ning’s focus to completing Supreme God Missions before Of could claim more Supreme Artifacts.

• Magnus confronted Palhaus and held him off while Hell’s Angel legion overwhelmed the Underworld’s forces, securing both Star River Passages and Hell’s victory.

Jie Ning trapped Utred with his Four Realms Reincarnation Array while the other Overlords fought, and Hannibal killed Augusta and took his Light Sovereign Spark. After Of helped Utred escape the barrier, the fighting stopped, and the remaining Overlords turned their attention to Hannibal.

• Utred used a pitch-black Long Staff to block Jie Ning’s attacks, but Jie Ning trapped him inside Rule Prison and struck him with four Reincarnation attacks.
• Of challenged Rias, while Zi Jing revealed herself as a Paragon and overwhelmed Augusta; Hannibal seized the moment to devour Augusta and take his Light Sovereign Spark.

• Of rushed to free Utred, and he and Utred shattered Rule Prison together, forcing Jie Ning and Rias to end their battles with them.
• Utred admitted defeat and agreed to stop fighting, after which Of asked the others how they should deal with Hannibal.

Rias revealed that several artifacts were connected to a Supreme God Mission, and Jie Ning suspected Of was searching for its tokens as he began helping Rias find her matching mirror.

• Zi Jing beat Hannibal while demanding Augusta's Sovereign Spark, but Hannibal refused and failed to escape her attacks.
• Jie Ning and Of negotiated over Augusta's Sovereign Spark, Hannibal's Divine Beast Quintessence Blood, and the Angel Rebirth Pools, then surrounded Hannibal with Rias, Utred, and Zi Jing.

Jie Ning offered his children a dangerous chance to gain Lightning Divine Avatars, and Anton accepted, becoming the new Lightning Overlord after successfully taking the form of a Kui Ox. Later, Rias completed the Death Supreme God's mission and received a Supreme Artifact saber, which she offered to Jie Ning.
