Chapter Summaries

Chen Ying'er sacrificed her strength to defeat the fourth-floor Holy Guards, leaving the team without her as Cai'er led the others into the fifth-floor trial. There, a massive Earth Warrior revealed a domain that dragged the squad toward the ground.

• Chen Ying'er used Elemental Cage and Elemental Decomposition to kill the Ice Warrior and restrain the Fire Mage, then collapsed into Yang Wenzhao's arms.
• Cai'er killed the restrained Fire Mage, and the squad passed the fourth-floor trial; Chen Ying'er was left behind with Yang Wenzhao to recover.
• Cai'er led Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Lin Xin, Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang, and Duan Yi through the passage to the fifth floor.
• Cai'er advanced to draw out the fifth-floor examiner, and a four-meter-tall Earth Warrior appeared.
• The Earth Warrior slammed his foot down and unleashed a domain that pulled the squad out of the air and dragged them toward the ground.

Sima Xian led the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad against the Earth Warrior, using Body-Linked Spirit Amplification and Berserk to unleash devastating attacks despite the danger to his body. He began channeling Sacrifice into the Light Great Strength Pill, determined to defeat the Earth Warrior and clear the way for Long Haochen's resurrection.

• Cai'er retreated from the Earth Warrior's hammer strike and linked the squad together through Body-Linked Spirit Amplification, with Sima Xian at the front.
• Sima Xian blocked the Earth Warrior's twin hammers with the Light Great Strength Pill, then activated Berserk despite Lin Xin's warning that the amplification could make his body collapse afterward.
• Sima Xian used the Purple Illusion Divine Thunder Spirit Furnace to break through the earth-element domain and blast the Earth Warrior backward, cracking his hammers and paralyzing his Soul Fire.
• Sima Xian poured the knight's Sacrifice skill into the Light Great Strength Pill as he prepared to strike, driven by his resolve to help bring Long Haochen back.

Sima Xian defeated the Earth Warrior but nearly died from the effort, forcing Cai'er and the team to pause and recover before continuing the Tower of Eternity trials. As they prepared to face a wind-element mage, Wang Yuanyuan urged Cai'er to let her fight instead, arguing that Cai'er needed to save her strength for the floors ahead.

• Sima Xian destroyed the Earth Warrior with his Light Great Strength Pill, then collapsed from his injuries after warning Cai'er that the next foe might be a wind-element expert with a domain.
• Lin Xin, Han Yu, Duan Yi, and Zhang Fangfang treated Sima Xian until his condition stabilized, while Cai'er ordered the team to rest and mourned over Long Haochen.
• After about eight hours, the others had recovered, but Duan Yi remained too weak to fight, so Cai'er assigned him to stay behind with Sima Xian.
• Cai'er planned to lead the next battle against the wind-element mage and asked everyone to strengthen her with Body-Linked Spirit Amplification.
• Wang Yuanyuan asked to take the next fight, warning Cai'er that using the Seven Absolutes of Death again could cause severe backlash before the sixth and seventh floors.

Wang Yuanyuan took the lead against the fifth floor’s powerful wind mage, using the Conjoined Spirit Amplifying Pill and the Shield of the Giant Spirit God to protect her companions. As the enemy’s domain threatened to overwhelm them, she used Spirit Burst, offered her blood, and began activating the shield’s final socket.

• Wang Yuanyuan persuaded Cai'er to let her fight while Cai'er saved her strength for later trials, then led the remaining Dawn of Light members into the fifth floor.
• The five companions took Conjoined Spirit Amplifying Pills and linked their strength as a Green Skeleton wind mage appeared and unleashed countless Wind Blades.
• Wang Yuanyuan inserted the fifth and sixth Void Silver Crystals into the Shield of the Giant Spirit God, whose spatial power deflected the first wave of attacks.
• The Green Skeleton activated his wind-element domain, rapidly stripping away the silver dragon vortex protecting Wang Yuanyuan and her companions.
• Wang Yuanyuan used Spirit Burst, invoked the Giant Spirit God, struck her chest to spill blood onto the shield, and pressed the final Void Silver Crystal into its last socket.

Wang Yuanyuan used the Shield of the Giant Spirit God to unleash a devastating Divine Descent Technique and defeat Saint Guard No. 3, but the attack consumed her life force. Zhang Fangfang gave her half his life through an ancient secret art, leaving both unconscious as Cai'er and the others confronted the cost of their struggle to resurrect Long Haochen.

• Wang Yuanyuan summoned the Giant Spirit God and shattered the wind-element domain with a powerful shield attack.
• Wang Yuanyuan poured out her remaining life force to destroy the Green Skeleton, and the Shield of the Giant Spirit God’s seven Void Silver Crystals broke.
• Saint Guard No. 3 submitted to Cai'er and entered the Eternal Melody after the Green Skeleton’s blue barrier and body cracked apart.
• A blood-red rune entered Wang Yuanyuan, and she collapsed; Zhang Fangfang also fell unconscious after declaring that he had given her half his life.
• Han Yu explained that Wang Yuanyuan had exhausted her life force and that Zhang Fangfang’s secret art had divided the rest of their lifespans between them.

Cai'er, Han Yu, and Lin Xin prepared to face the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity, believing it might hold the final trial needed to reach Long Haochen's revival. The reunited Dawn of Light squad accompanied them, and the chapter ended as Cai'er asked Han Yu and Lin Xin for their strength before confronting the divided realms of light and darkness.

• Han Yu and Lin Xin vowed to pay any price to revive Long Haochen, and Cai'er accepted that she had to lead the remaining squad.
• Cai'er, Han Yu, and Lin Xin discussed the likely sixth-floor trial and concluded that the final two Holy Guards might wield light and darkness.
• Cai'er refused Han Yu's offer to scout ahead and ordered everyone to fully restore their strength before entering the trial.
• After meditating, Cai'er found the other members of Dawn of Light awake and ready to accompany her to the sixth floor.
• The squad reached a floor split between darkness and golden light, and Cai'er asked Han Yu and Lin Xin to lend her their strength.

Cai'er borrowed more than one hundred thousand spiritual power from her companions and attacked the barrier separating the sixth floor’s light and dark domains. As the final two Holy Guards appeared and trapped her between their opposing powers, Cai'er rushed past them as the Death God phantom merged with her.

• Cai'er used the Reincarnation Spirit Furnace to drain Han Yu, Lin Xin, Duan Yi, and Yang Wenzhao of their spiritual power, while Han Yu’s Light's Blessing Spirit Furnace helped restore and sustain their supply.
• After absorbing more than one hundred thousand spiritual power, Cai'er bowed to her companions and attacked the white barrier with her killing intent, but the barrier remained intact.
• The golden Light Warrior and the black Dark Mage appeared together, and Chen Ying'er and Wang Yuanyuan identified the barrier’s combined Chaos and Spatial Attributes.
• The Light Warrior and Dark Mage attacked simultaneously, pinning Cai'er between their opposing domains and forcing her to face both assaults along the central line.
• Cai'er calmly surged forward, passed both Holy Guards without attacking, and the Death God phantom descended and merged into her body.

Cai'er used the Death God's Purification Power to break the barrier between the Light Warrior and Dark Mage, then disrupted their fusion of light and darkness. She gained the upper hand on the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity and revealed that she was sustaining Death God's Descent by purifying the Tower's Death Aura.

• Cai'er struck the central barrier with Death's Sorrow, shattering it as the Light Warrior and Dark Mage attacked with their domains.
• The Purple Moon and Golden Sun fused into a sphere of light and darkness, alarming the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad.
• Cai'er charged the sphere and used a white thread of Purification Power to strip away its spiritual energy, destabilizing the fusion.
• Saint Guard One and Saint Guard Two withdrew their domains to prevent the sphere from exploding, but both suffered backlash and retreated.
• Lin Xin realized the Holy Guards' control and strength were extraordinary, while Cai'er had gained the advantage.
• Cai'er closed her eyes after using Death's Purity, and the narration explained that she sustained Death God's Descent by purifying the Tower of Eternity's Death Aura.

Cai'er used her fully empowered Seven Absolutes of Death to seize the advantage against the two Holy Guards on the Tower of Eternity's sixth floor. After striking both guards with Death's Howl, she attacked the Dark Mage with Death's Kiss, carving through his compressed domain.

• Cai'er revealed that Death God's Descent had absorbed and purified the Tower of Eternity's Death Aura, greatly strengthening her.
• Cai'er disrupted the Holy Guards' combined domain and struck them with the third absolute, Death's Howl, which heavily damaged Saint Guard Two's soul.
• Cai'er followed with Death's Sorrow, Death's Purity, and Death's Howl, overwhelming the Holy Guards as her companions feared the technique's backlash.
• The Dark Mage compressed his domain around himself to defend against Cai'er, but she appeared above him and unleashed the fourth absolute, Death's Kiss.
• Cai'er's Scythe of Death cut through the violet-black domain and shredded its upper half.

Cai'er defeated the two ninth-step Holy Guards on the Tower of Eternity’s sixth floor by unleashing six of the Seven Absolutes of Death. The Eternal Melody then released six-colored power that restored Cai’er’s senses and healed her companions, leaving them poised to face the final Holy Guard and seek a way to the seventh floor.

• Cai'er used Silent Death Annihilation to destroy the Dark Mage and restrain the Light Warrior with Annihilation Purification Light.
• Cai'er unleashed the Sixth Absolute, Path of Death, combining her first five techniques to defeat the Light Warrior and complete the sixth-floor trial.
• The Dark Mage and Light Warrior’s Souls of the Strong entered the Eternal Melody.
• Cai'er suffered severe backlash that extinguished five of her six senses, but six-colored energy from the Eternal Melody rapidly restored her strength and senses.
• The six-colored light healed the wounded companions and replenished Zhang Fangfang and Wang Yuanyuan’s depleted life force.

After the six-colored restorative light healed the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad and greatly improved their cultivation, it faded from Cai'er and Long Haochen, though Long Haochen remained dead. The Golden Skull of Eternal Melody then revealed the Path to Heaven and summoned Cai'er and the others to face Elieks on the seventh floor.

• The six-colored light restored the squad members and raised their spiritual power, while Cai'er and Long Haochen continued absorbing it after everyone else recovered.
• The light finally faded, and Cai'er awakened with the backlash from the Seven Absolutes of Death apparently neutralized, but Long Haochen remained dead.
• The Golden Skull of Eternal Melody emerged from Cai'er's chest and illuminated the Elieks statue at the far end of the sixth floor.
• Golden flames and dense Death Aura filled the sixth floor as an aged voice announced that the squad could seek Elieks's inheritance by ascending the Path to Heaven.

Cai'er opened the golden gate with the Eternal Melody and began climbing the Path to Heaven while carrying Long Haochen, whose revival depended on her reaching the seventh floor. The stairway stripped away her spiritual power, and she continued despite the growing pain and exhaustion.

• Necromancer Calamity Elieks awakened the sixth floor, and the Eternal Melody became a key that opened a golden gate after absorbing the twelve Holy Guards' power.
• Cai'er declared that she would bring Long Haochen back to life, and Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Ying'er secured his body on her back.
• Cai'er entered the gate alone with Long Haochen and began climbing the endless golden stairs, bowing at every step as the others were held outside.
• Cai'er discovered that the Path to Heaven had erased her spiritual power, leaving Long Haochen's weight and each bow increasingly difficult to bear.
• By the thirtieth step, Cai'er's knees and body were in agony, but she kept climbing as the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad urged her on.

Cai'er carried Long Haochen up the endless Path to Heaven, enduring devastating injuries and repeated unconsciousness as she sought to resurrect him. Near death, she reached a gate of light, but it moved just out of reach, and she used her last strength to push onward.

• Cai'er climbed the Path to Heaven with Long Haochen on her back, leaving blood from her injured knees and forehead on the stairs.
• Cai'er collapsed and lost consciousness repeatedly, while the Dawn of Light Demon Hunter Squad watched helplessly beyond the gate of light.
• After her seventh collapse, Cai'er awoke too weak to stand, but a gate of light appeared ten steps ahead and renewed her determination.
• Cai'er dragged herself toward the gate, but it rose one step just as she reached for it.
• Cai'er kept her resolve and shoved herself upward with the last of her strength.

Cai'er reached the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity with Long Haochen and met Eleiks, who explained that reviving him required a fresh heart. Cai'er offered her own, but Eleiks stopped her before she could sacrifice herself.

• Cai'er forced her hand into the gate of light and carried Long Haochen into the seventh floor of the Tower of Eternity.
• Cai'er awoke healed in Eleiks's golden hall and asked the Holy Necromancer God to help revive Long Haochen.
• Eleiks warned Cai'er that inheriting his power would destroy her Purification Power and might turn her body into that of a zombie, but she accepted.
• Eleiks said Long Haochen needed a fresh, beating heart because his heart had been destroyed and his vitality severed.
• Cai'er offered her own heart and raised the Scythe of Death to cut it out, but Eleiks knocked the weapon away and warned that she would die.

Elieks temporarily resurrected Long Haochen and showed him Cai'er’s apparently lifeless body to test his feelings. Long Haochen rejected Elieks’s inheritance and tried to die beside Cai'er, but Elieks revealed that Cai'er was alive, and the two reunited as Elieks conceded defeat.

• Cai'er offered her heart to resurrect Long Haochen, but Elieks restrained her and made a bet about whether Long Haochen would accept his power.
• Elieks revived Long Haochen and showed him Cai'er's body, telling him that she had given him her heart.
• Long Haochen grieved over Cai'er, rejected Elieks’s inheritance, and tried to take his own life rather than live without her.
• Elieks stopped Long Haochen and revealed that Cai'er was still alive.
• Cai'er rushed into Long Haochen’s arms, and Elieks admitted, “You win.”

After Elieks offered to resurrect Long Haochen only if he inherited the Necromancer’s power, Long Haochen chose to abandon his faith for Cai’er’s sake. Elieks’s soul reacted violently to the choice, unleashing a powerful explosion that left Long Haochen and Cai’er under crushing soul pressure.

• Elieks explained that Long Haochen was only temporarily alive and that Cai’er’s heart could have been used to resurrect him.
• Elieks offered Long Haochen a choice: inherit his power and live with Cai’er, or refuse and die.
• Cai’er stayed silent, unable to ask Long Haochen to abandon his faith, and accepted that she would face death with him.
• Long Haochen chose to accept Elieks’s inheritance, saying he would live for Cai’er even if it meant giving up his faith.
• Elieks’s soul erupted in a violent reaction, blasting Long Haochen and Cai’er away and overwhelming them with soul pressure.

After Cai'er’s love purified her soul and transformed the Tower of Eternity, Elieks admitted he was wrong and began recounting his past. He described his rise as a gifted mage and his romance with Princess Floro, leaving off as she chose to stay behind and cultivate while he sought experience.

• Cai'er’s love purified her negative emotions, while the Light Element replaced the Death Aura on the seventh floor.
• Elieks refused to pass on his legacy, saying he had been wrong for thousands of years, and asked Long Haochen and Cai'er to hear his story.
• Elieks recalled being born a noble in Sidi and becoming an exceptionally powerful Light Magic mage, winning the Glorious Papacy’s Genius Battle at fifteen.
• Elieks described falling in love with Princess Floro, becoming engaged to her, and refusing the pope’s offer to become his disciple for the sake of the empire.
• When Elieks planned to travel and gain experience, Floro chose to remain at the Royal Magic Academy and continue cultivating to catch up with him.

Elieks recounted how his travels brought him to the peak of the Eighth Tier and how his love for Floro turned to betrayal when she stabbed him for refusing to share the Tortoise Shell Technique. He escaped the ambush with a Scroll of Vanishing, leaving Long Haochen and Cai'er to wonder whether the betrayal explained how he became the Necromancer Calamity.

• Elieks said his two years of travel across the Three Great Empires raised his Cultivation Level to the peak of the Eighth Tier and led him to discover the Tortoise Shell Technique.
• Elieks refused to teach Floro the dangerous soul-fusion divination method, and she later acted as though their argument had passed.
• Floro invited Elieks on an outing, where black-clad attackers ambushed them and he fought to lead her back toward the imperial capital.
• As they neared the capital, Floro stabbed Elieks in the chest with a poisoned dagger and demanded the Tortoise Shell Technique.
• Elieks escaped the attackers with a Scroll of Vanishing while Floro pursued him, and Long Haochen and Cai'er were left wondering what had driven him to become the Necromancer Calamity.

Eleiks told Long Haochen how Floro, Pero, the Pompo Empire, and the Glorious Papacy conspired to frame him and seize his cultivation method. After escaping their pursuit, he watched his entire family be executed and left the imperial capital consumed by hatred.

• Eleiks recovered from Floro's poisoned dagger and returned to the capital, where imperial and papal proclamations accused him of treason and heresy.
• Eleiks overheard Floro and Pero discussing their conspiracy and learned that they had planned to kill him and take his cultivation method.
• Eleiks burst into Floro's chambers, wounded Pero, subdued Floro, and fled after the pope struck him through a special method.
• With help from a beggar, Eleiks evaded the citywide manhunt, but learned that the authorities had captured his family.
• Eleiks watched the emperor order the execution of all 367 members of his family, then left the capital carrying overwhelming hatred.

Eleiks recounted how betrayal drove him to become the Necromancer Calamity, destroy empires, and wage war before remorse led him into slumber. Freed from his resentment by Long Haochen and Cai'er, he rejected passing on necromancy and prepared to give Cai'er his refined Death Aura.

• Eleiks said he had fused light and necromancy, raised an undead army, and destroyed the Pompo Empire and the Glorious Papacy to avenge his family.
• Long Haochen condemned Eleiks for killing countless innocents, and Eleiks admitted that revenge had led him into depravity.
• Eleiks recounted his defeat by the human alliance, his curse and thousand-year slumber, and how he ultimately recognized the enormity of his sins.
• Eleiks thanked Long Haochen and Cai'er for awakening him and showing him that humans could love faithfully, then declared that necromancy should disappear.
• Eleiks gathered the pure Death Aura he had refined and told Cai'er he would give it to her, despite her inability to refuse.
