Chapter Summaries

Long Haochen explained why the Decoy Spirit Furnace suited Chen Ying'er and she completed its initial fusion, though she still had to pass two trials to claim it fully. The group continued through Dream Paradise, where Long Haochen grew wary of the Devil Race’s powerful entrants and found evidence that another spiritual stove had been taken by force.

• Long Haochen described the Decoy Spirit Furnace’s defensive and skill-copying abilities and explained why Chen Ying'er was best suited to absorb it.
• Chen Ying'er said her initial fusion seemed successful, and Long Haochen told her she still needed to pass two more trials before she could use the spiritual stove.
• Lin Xin scavenged the dead demon’s remains and took its fire-element Azure Flame sword, planning to give it to Xin'er.
• The group set out again, and Long Haochen worried that the Devil Race had sent powerful elites and that Cai'er might be in danger.
• After finding a Magic Beast corpse with its magic crystal removed and no spiritual stove nearby, Long Haochen told Sima Xian to dig a pit so they could bury it.

Long Haochen led his companions through Dream Paradise as protectors of its creatures, gaining a boost to his perception before he sensed a battle involving Cai'er. As he prepared to join the fight, Abao ambushed him, and Long Haochen faced the powerful demon while the battle elsewhere turned against the Alliance.

• Long Haochen buried the Magic Beast with his companions and decided they would protect the creatures of Dream Paradise; his perception soon increased.
• Long Haochen sensed a fierce battle, hid his companions, and approached to find Cai'er and Zhang Fangfang fighting Moonlit Night, Leng Xiao, and another demon over three Spiritual Furnaces.
• Abao ambushed Long Haochen from behind, while an unknown attacker killed the Alliance mage in the battle nearby.
• Long Haochen endured Abao's punch with the help of his defenses, Ripple of Light, and Life Sharing, then drew on Dream Paradise's energy as he confronted him.
• Abao offered Long Haochen a choice between submission and death, and Long Haochen answered that he had already killed one of Abao's men and received a Crown of Inheritance magic crystal.

Long Haochen fought Abao in Dream Paradise and discovered that Abao’s immense External Spiritual Power made him almost impervious to attacks. Long Haochen’s Asura Thorn finally injured Abao, fracturing the bones in his right hand.

• Abao revealed that Long Haochen had killed one of Samikina’s heirs, and Long Haochen identified him as Abao, heir to the Demon God Emperor.
• Long Haochen’s sword strikes failed to harm Abao, who explained that his External Spiritual Power exceeded twenty thousand.
• Long Haochen reasoned that Dream Paradise’s restrictions prevented Abao from using his External Spiritual Power to attack, then launched another assault.
• Long Haochen cut through Abao’s dark-energy net with an enhanced Asura Slash and followed with Asura Thorn.
• Abao blocked the Asura Thorn with a crystalline purple finger, but the strike fractured the bones in his right hand and forced him to expel Long Haochen’s sharp spiritual power.

Long Haochen wounded Abao in a desperate exchange, but Cai'er arrived with the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace and forced Abao’s group to withdraw. The Demon Hunter Squad regrouped, though Long Haochen remained wary of how strong Abao had been.

• Long Haochen chained powerful attacks against Abao, using Light Rain Twin Dragon Pull and a second Asura Thorn to injure him despite exhausting and damaging himself.
• Abao transformed into a dragon-like form and shattered Long Haochen’s restraints, but Long Haochen’s Sacrifice-empowered strike sent him flying and broke his sword.
• Cai'er appeared beside Long Haochen and locked her Reincarnation Spirit Furnace and Sword of Reincarnation onto Abao as Moonlit Night, Leng Xiao, and other Devil Race fighters arrived.
• Long Haochen’s companions and Zhang Fangfang joined him, and the group learned that another warrior Demon Hunter had fallen while they fought the Devil Race forces.
• Abao ordered his group to leave, and Long Haochen warned his companions that they might have been defeated if they had not been in Dream Paradise.

Long Haochen’s group drove off Abao and learned that the Devil Race had already collected many spirit furnaces while killing Demon Hunters. After Zhang Fangfang joined them, Lin Xin, Sima Xian, and Wang Yuanyuan absorbed three spirit furnaces, and the group rested together at night as their dangerous stay in Dream Paradise continued.

• Long Haochen assessed Abao as a formidable Demon God Emperor heir, while Cai'er explained that he had retreated because he feared death more than they did.
• Zhang Fangfang thanked Long Haochen for saving him and reported that several entrants had died and the Devil Race had collected more than seven spirit furnaces.
• Long Haochen’s group returned to the battlefield, recovered three spirit furnaces, and buried the dead Magic Beasts without taking their magic crystals.
• Long Haochen offered Zhang Fangfang the first choice, but Zhang Fangfang declined and asked to travel with the group in hopes of receiving a later spirit furnace.
• Lin Xin absorbed Heartflame, Wang Yuanyuan absorbed Gate of Space, and Sima Xian absorbed Purple Thunder.
• Long Haochen’s eight-person group found no more spirit furnaces and settled into a concealed place to rest as night fell.

Long Haochen’s team chose to remain in Dream Paradise despite the danger of an abnormal change, relying on the Tower of Eternity as a possible refuge. At dawn, a never-before-seen Seven-Colored Spirit Furnace appeared, and the team set out toward it while avoiding attacks on Magic Beasts.

• Long Haochen warned his companions that Dream Paradise might undergo an abnormal change, and the team unanimously decided to stay and seek more spirit furnaces.
• Long Haochen gave Zhang Fangfang his Dream Gem so he could escape if the team faced an irresistible crisis.
• At dawn, the team saw a huge seven-colored sphere descending amid brilliant clouds, and Long Haochen identified it as a spirit furnace unlike any known before.
• Long Haochen agreed to approach the Seven-Colored Spirit Furnace but ordered everyone not to attack Magic Beasts, while Zhang Fangfang and Han Yu guarded the rear.
• The team noticed that Dream Paradise’s colored clouds had vanished, confirming an abnormal change, and continued toward the sphere without reaching it after two hours.

Long Haochen gained the Magic Beasts’ trust and followed them to the battle over the fallen Seven-Colored Spirit Furnace. He reached the hill where a little girl was directing the beasts against Abao’s Devil Race forces.

• Long Haochen calmed the black gorilla by proving he meant no harm, and the gorilla led his group deeper into the forest.
• The group passed numerous agitated Magic Beasts, while Long Haochen realized Dream Paradise had accepted him and worried that Abao could overcome its defenders.
• Long Haochen and his companions reached a fierce battle where hundreds of Magic Beasts were trying to stop Abao and eight other Devil Race members from reaching a hill.
• A little girl atop the hill called out to direct the Magic Beasts, intensifying their attacks and halting Abao’s advance.

Long Haochen and his companions met Ye Xiaolei, who commanded Dream Paradise’s Magic Beasts against the Devil Race. As Ye Xiaolei continued directing the battle, Long Haochen suspected she was the legendary Wisdom Spirit Furnace and resolved to protect her.

• Ye Xiaolei recognized Long Haochen as the Child of Light and asked him to protect her while she turned the Devil Race into nourishment for Paradise.
• Long Haochen introduced himself, and Ye Xiaolei gave her name before ordering the Magic Beasts to strengthen their assault.
• Long Haochen watched Ye Xiaolei coordinate the Magic Beasts, whose disciplined attacks and healing kept the nine Devil Race members from breaking through.
• Long Haochen recalled his father’s explanation of Spirit Furnace ranks and the legendary Wisdom Spirit Furnace, then suspected Ye Xiaolei was that living Spirit Furnace.
• Long Haochen decided in his heart that he would not harm Ye Xiaolei or let anyone else harm her.

Abao’s group used Great Prophecy to seal Ye Xiaolei, changing the battle and leaving Long Haochen’s party to guard her as the Devil Race broke through toward the hill. Ye Xiaolei’s life energy helped five of Long Haochen’s companions break through to the Sixth Order, while Long Haochen prepared to protect her despite being unable to join the fight yet.

• Abao persuaded a Star Demon Race mage to cast Great Prophecy, and Zhang Fangfang warned Long Haochen that it could bypass Dream Paradise’s restrictions.
• Ye Xiaolei unleashed her life energy, strengthening Long Haochen’s group and the Magic Beasts while helping Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Han Yu, and Chen Ying'er break through to the Sixth Order.
• Great Prophecy sealed Ye Xiaolei for at least an hour, and its caster died from the cost of the divine art.
• Without Ye Xiaolei directing them, the Magic Beasts attacked chaotically as Abao and his seven companions surged toward the hillside.
• Long Haochen stayed with his companions as they absorbed the effects of their breakthroughs, resolving to protect Ye Xiaolei and use the Tower of Eternity only as a last resort.

Long Haochen and his companions tried to hold off Abao’s group as they advanced through Dream Paradise toward the sealed Ye Xiaolei. Long Haochen reinforced the Magic Beasts and prepared a plan while the enemy pressed to within a hundred meters of the hilltop.

• Long Haochen told Zhang Fangfang to escape with the Dream Gem if the situation became impossible, then watched Abao’s eight Devil Race members push through the Magic Beasts.
• Long Haochen refused Cai’er’s suggestion to intervene and had Han Yu and Yating cast group healing spells to strengthen the Magic Beasts.
• Long Haochen had Yating tell the Magic Beasts that Ye Xiaolei was only temporarily sealed and urged them to hold the enemies off for an hour.
• Chen Ying’er fed several seventh-rank magic crystals to McDull Little Pig as part of Long Haochen’s instructions.
• Zhang Fangfang joined Han Yu and Yating in healing the Magic Beasts, helping them stall Abao’s advance toward the hilltop.

Long Haochen watched Abao’s forces advance toward the summit while Moonlit Night secretly tried to buy time for him. As the one-hour Great Prophecy seal continued, Long Haochen resolved to protect Moonlit Night, while Cai’er grew wary of her feelings toward him.

• Abao saw Long Haochen atop the mountain and pressed his forces forward, determined to reach Ye Xiaolei before Long Haochen could interfere.
• Moonlit Night deliberately weakened her commands and nearly let a magic beast break through, signaling that she was helping Long Haochen stall for time.
• Abao restored Moonlit Night’s magic power, and the chapter explained his determination to marry her and the Demon God Emperor’s eventual agreement to their marriage.
• Moonlit Night resumed her proper command but privately struggled with her feelings for Abao and Long Haochen as the Devil Race members began to tire.
• Long Haochen understood Moonlit Night’s actions and decided he would not sacrifice her, while Cai’er noticed Moonlit Night’s glance at him and considered activating her heart restriction.

Long Haochen’s group struggled to hold the mountaintop as Abao’s Devil Race force advanced, so Long Haochen used McDull to imitate the Demon God Emperor and disrupt their formation. The deception killed two Devil Race members and left two injured, but Abao unleashed his full strength and began transforming.

• Cai'er felt jealous of Moonlit Night, but Long Haochen reassured her and warned her not to use her spiritual stove.
• Abao gave purple-black gemstones to his companions to restore their strength and continued leading them up the hill toward Ye Xiaolei.
• Long Haochen arranged his companions into a defensive formation as Abao’s group drew close to the mountaintop.
• McDull created an imitation of the First Demon God Pillar and the Demon God Emperor, causing four Devil Race members to prostrate themselves and exposing them to the Magic Beasts’ attacks.
• The Magic Beasts killed two Devil Race members and grievously injured two others before McDull’s imitation faded.
• Abao recognized the imitation, grew furious, blocked the Magic Beasts’ attacks, and began transforming after unleashing a dragon roar.

Abao transformed into his true form and fought through the Magic Beasts toward Ye Xiaolei, while Long Haochen and his companions prepared to stop him. The chapter ended as Long Haochen’s Heartstrike Sword collided with Abao’s horn.

• Abao transformed into a massive Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, and Moonlit Night watched Long Haochen with growing fervor.
• Abao blasted apart several Magic Beasts and charged toward the mountaintop as Long Haochen and his companions readied their strongest abilities.
• Abao activated Heaven Defying, breaking through Dream Paradise’s restraints and charging at Long Haochen.
• Long Haochen entered a state of enlightenment and struck Abao’s horn with his Heartstrike Sword.

Long Haochen and his companions badly wounded Abao, but Abao’s last attack nearly struck Ye Xiaolei before Zhang Fangfang shielded Wang Yuanyuan and was gravely injured. The Demon God Emperor rescued Abao and the surviving Devil Race members, leaving the squad to tend to Zhang Fangfang.

• Long Haochen’s sword strike weakened Abao, allowing Wang Yuanyuan, Han Yu, and Sima Xian to wound him with their attacks.
• Abao sent a purple-black pearl toward Ye Xiaolei, while Cai’er struck the back of his neck but was blasted away before she could reach his brain.
• Chen Ying’er’s summoned beast and Lin Xin’s Shield of the Fire God failed to stop the pearl, and Zhang Fangfang took its impact while protecting Wang Yuanyuan.
• The Demon God Emperor tore open Dream Paradise and rescued the wounded Abao and the remaining Devil Race members.
• Wang Yuanyuan called for help, and Han Yu and Lin Xin rushed to treat Zhang Fangfang as he insisted he was not yet dying.

After Long Haochen’s decisive strike left him frozen and unresponsive, his companions waited for Ye Xiaolei to awaken and help. She healed Zhang Fangfang but could not reach Long Haochen, and reacted angrily when his Eternal Melody repelled her.

• Lin Xin and Han Yu treated Zhang Fangfang before returning to Long Haochen, who stood motionless as the light of Blue Rain, Lotus of Light flowed back into him.
• Cai'er ordered the team to recover and wait for Ye Xiaolei, while the Magic Beasts accepted them and several spiritual stoves arrived.
• Ye Xiaolei broke free of the Great Prophecy’s seal and used Life Magic to heal Zhang Fangfang’s wounds and reattach his severed limb.
• Ye Xiaolei tried to heal Long Haochen, but golden light from his chest knocked her away and made him tremble.
• After Cai'er removed Long Haochen’s armor, Ye Xiaolei saw the Eternal Melody and tried to touch it with azure-green flame, but it repelled her again; she scornfully remarked on the inheritance he had received.

Cai'er learned that she and Long Haochen possessed Divine Favor Physiques, and Ye Xiaolei explained that awakening let them draw on a favored god's power. On the third day in Dream Paradise, Long Haochen awakened, bathing the others in golden light and drawing them into meditation.

• Cai'er questioned Ye Xiaolei about Long Haochen's condition, and Ye Xiaolei said he was safe and might awaken after using an ability beyond his limits.
• Ye Xiaolei told Cai'er that she and Long Haochen had Divine Favor Physiques, which had to awaken to reveal their full abilities, and warned that becoming a god meant losing freedom and possibly one's memories.
• Cai'er guessed that one million spiritual power was the threshold for godhood, then settled beside Long Haochen to cultivate while Ye Xiaolei watched him and left eight spiritual stoves untouched.
• At dawn on the third day, Long Haochen awakened as golden light connected him to the rising sun and spread outward from his body.
• Sima Xian and Han Yu meditated in the golden radiance, while Zhang Fangfang sensed the Light Element, sat down, and unfolded his spiritual wings.

Long Haochen awakened as a Divine Favor Holder, the Child of Light, gaining four spirit wings while Yating evolved into a living Light Elf. Zhang Fangfang also broke through to the Seventh Tier, and Ye Xiaolei took Long Haochen aside to speak with him.

• Long Haochen awakened his Child of Light physique, and Yating transformed into a living Light Elf with a staff and a life aura.
• Yating grew a third pair of wings, while Long Haochen gained a second pair of spirit wings and Zhang Fangfang broke through to become a Seventh Tier Holy Knight.
• Long Haochen explained that his awakening had raised his Innate Internal Spiritual Power to one hundred and reflected that Cai'er would need a battlefield steeped in slaughter to awaken as the Reincarnation Saintess.
• Ye Xiaolei led Long Haochen away from his companions and surrounded them with a protective layer of Green Light to speak privately.

Long Haochen learned that the Calamity of Eternal Slumber Eleiks may have been a Divine Favor Holder of the Goddess of Light, but Ye Xiaolei could not sever his connection to the necromancer. After striking a deal with Ye Xiaolei, Long Haochen distributed spiritual stoves to his companions and prepared to leave Dream Paradise.

• Ye Xiaolei explained that only someone with the Child of Light constitution could become a light-element necromancer, and said Long Haochen would need to reach the top of Eleiks's tower to learn his past.
• Ye Xiaolei offered Long Haochen eight spiritual stoves and exemption from the next round of trials in exchange for a spiritual connection and a promise to help her when needed; he accepted after hearing the worst-case outcome.
• Long Haochen returned to the mountaintop with Ye Xiaolei and distributed the spiritual stoves among his companions, leaving none for himself and assigning two to Zhang Fangfang.
• Ye Xiaolei helped the squad begin fusing their spiritual stoves and warned that anyone with two or more would still have to pass Dream Paradise's final fusion trial, where failure could cost them their stoves or their lives.

After Dream Paradise sent the demon hunters into isolated spaces to fuse their spirit furnaces, most of Long Haochen’s companions endured difficult but successful fusions before entering the blue-green pool for synthesis. Long Haochen began his final synthesis trial, while Wang Yuanyuan reached the Nature Temple first and waited for the others.

• Ye Xiaolei thanked Long Haochen before the demon hunters vanished into separate green spaces to fuse their spirit furnaces.
• Long Haochen, who had gained no new spirit furnace, entered a blue-green pool to begin his final synthesis trial.
• Cai'er fused with the True Shadow Spirit Furnace, while Wang Yuanyuan fused with the Gate of Space Spirit Furnace and reached the Nature Temple without needing synthesis.
• Sima Xian endured the painful fusion of the Purple Thunder Spirit Furnace and then fused with the Light Echo Spirit Furnace.
• Lin Xin smoothly fused with the Flame Eagle Spirit Furnace and Han Yu fused with the Guardian Spirit Furnace of Light and the Spirit Furnace of Light Convergence.
• Chen Ying'er struggled through painful fusions with the Decoy Spirit Furnace and the Time Spirit Furnace without giving up.

Long Haochen, Cai'er, and the other members of the General Grade Twenty-First Demon Hunter Squad began synthesizing their spirit furnaces in Dream Paradise, enduring intense pain and risk. Wang Yuanyuan waited at the Nature Temple, hoping her companions would return safely.

• Long Haochen entered the turquoise pool and began fusing the Holy Guiding Spirit Furnace with Yating as life force consumed his Internal Spiritual Power.
• Long Haochen endured escalating pain as his evolved spirit furnaces made the synthesis more difficult than he had anticipated.
• Cai'er's Reincarnation Spirit Furnace shattered the Thousand Strikes Spirit Furnace and True Shadow Spirit Furnace, then began absorbing their fragments while protecting her body from collapse.
• The other members of the General Grade Twenty-First Demon Hunter Squad struggled through their own spirit furnace syntheses and refused to give up.
• Wang Yuanyuan waited in the Nature Temple, where life force increased her External Spiritual Power, and worried about her companions' safety.
