Chapter Summaries

You left Kuang Yuan behind and flew alone to test the weakening effect of Essence Reward and Punishment. You entered the Sun-Casting Belt intending to make two powerful Great Demon Kings fall in a way that would not implicate humanity.

• You realized that Essence Reward and Punishment could subtract a target’s essence, weakening its attributes until its essence reached zero.
• You considered testing the zero-essence effect but decided it would be wasteful and planned to try it later.
• You avoided using the Destiny Secret Technique to kill a Demon King because a king’s sudden death could trigger war and leave humanity vulnerable.
• You decided to make the Devil Race’s two greater-threat Great Demon Kings fall in a way that seemed unrelated to humanity.
• You crossed the Cold Air Belt, Gale Belt, and Thunder Sea Belt and entered the Sun-Casting Belt, where phantom suns filled the void.

Eleven realized he could use Essence Reward and Punishment to weaken a King from millions of miles away while remaining concealed in the Sun-Casting Belt. The chapter left him considering Devil Kings and the Black Tortoise True King as potential targets, while Yun Shou reflected on the Sun Birds’ natural cultivation ground.

• Eleven flew through the Sun-Casting Belt, where immense suns moved unpredictably and their heat threatened even powerful cultivators.
• Yun Shou imagined how Eleven could once have lured a Fourth Realm opponent into the belt, then noted that Eleven was now too powerful for that scenario.
• Eleven calculated that his speed and future sight let him make contact from afar, trigger Essence Reward and Punishment, and return to his starting point after stripping away a target’s essence.
• Eleven identified roaming Devil Kings and the Black Tortoise True King as possible targets, while warning himself to stay beyond the Black Tortoise True King’s spiritual detection range.
• Yun Shou reasoned that the Sun-Casting Belt gave the Sun Bird clan a natural cultivation ground and connected its Golden Crow origins to the sun.

Eleven infiltrated the Demon Lands and explored Myriad Armor Territory, learning how its Armor Devils lived and discovering humans kept as livestock. After destroying the territory in one future, Eleven stopped looking too closely at the suffering deeper in the Demon Lands and continued onward.

• Eleven crossed deep into the Demon Lands, using Future Prediction to check its surroundings and confirm its location.
• Eleven reached Myriad Armor Territory and explored its settlements, observing how Armor Devils used their dead as food and materials.
• Eleven learned that the Devils also raised Meat Ganoderma and hunted demonized creatures, including humans and members of the Demon Race.
• In some futures, Eleven killed Myriad Armor Territory's third-realm Armor Devil and found humans kept as livestock, some of them still aware.
• A day later, Eleven returned to find Myriad Armor Territory in ruins, watched Devils feast on the corpses, and continued deeper into the Demon Lands without exploring as much.

You lured the Feather Demon King to Bone Splitting Cliff and used Yun Die's Punishment to permanently reduce its strength. Hidden inside a distant sun, you watched the Demon King panic over its unexplained loss.

• You flew to Bone Splitting Cliff and challenged the Feather Demon King from the sky.
• The Feather Demon King raced through the sky belts and overwhelmed your True Essence attack with its blood and qi.
• You used Yun Die's Punishment to shave away one percent of the Feather Demon King's essence before the illusory future collapsed.
• The Feather Demon King returned to reality with its upper limit of strength reduced and spread its blood and qi across the surrounding region in confusion.
• You remained hidden inside a sun more than five million li away and explained how your voice and True Essence strike had lured and reached the Feather Demon King.

You taunted the weakened Feather Demon King from the Sun Sea Belt, causing its strength to fall by another one percent and driving it to flee for help. You tracked it to the Heavenly Demon Hall and waited for Return to Reality to recover.

• You cautiously descended over seven days and found the Feather Demon King feeding at Bone Splitting Cliff.
• You called out to the Feather Demon King, and its qi and blood erupted, devastating nearby devils as its strength weakened again.
• The frightened Feather Demon King fled toward the Western Border, while you remained unaware of its departure inside a great sun.
• You interrogated devils and learned that the Feather Demon King had sought help from the Brute Demon King, then the Thorn Demon King.
• You reached the Heavenly Demon Hall and confirmed that the Feather and Thorn Demon Kings were in the Magic City below, while you waited for Return to Reality to recover.

Yun Shou considered who the Thorn Demon King might have chosen as a conversion target while the Thorn Demon King concluded that the Creators were draining the Feather Demon King's power through contingencies hidden in their bloodlines. The Thorn Demon King then reacted to a new possibility for escaping fate.

• Yun Shou reasoned that the Thorn Demon King probably had not yet found a suitable target, since qualified geniuses were rare and known candidates were already overlords.
• The Thorn Demon King listened as the Feather Demon King reported that its power and soul were weakening every seven days.
• The Thorn Demon King blamed the Creators, arguing that they had planted contingencies in the Devil Race's bloodlines and could recall their power from across distant domains.
• The Thorn Demon King despaired over whether any Devil could resist the Creators and questioned whether the Sixth Realm truly existed.
• The Feather Demon King demanded to know why the Creators would target it, and the Thorn Demon King suggested something might have gone wrong on the Creators' side.
• The Thorn Demon King's qi and blood surged as it thought of another possible way to escape fate, destroying the secret chamber around them.

Thorn Demon King interpreted Feather Demon King's recurring loss of power as proof that the Creators were weakening the True Kings to reclaim them for a desperate war. Yun Shou exposed himself as the cause, but Feather Demon King later weakened again, allowing Thorn Demon King to renew his mistaken theory.

• Thorn Demon King argued that the Creators' limited backup measures and the rising brainwashing effect showed that they were desperate and might eventually lose their grip on the True Kings.
• Feather Demon King grew increasingly irritated and challenged Thorn Demon King to prove that the Creators were behind the weakening.
• Yun Shou announced that he, a human, had caused Feather Demon King's recent troubles, leaving both devils stunned.
• Feather Demon King tore through the ceiling and flew away, while Thorn Demon King blamed humanity and worried about the danger he faced.
• Feather Demon King suddenly lost more essence, and Thorn Demon King took the event as proof that the Creators were extracting its strength once every seven days.

The Feather Demon King learned that it could not lower its realm without dying, and accepted that its remaining 133 days were all it had left. Yun Shou reflected on how extraordinary systems might conflict and considered the potential of Qin Zhenhai’s body, while the Feather Demon King chose to spend its final days peacefully.

• The Thorn Demon King explained that the Feather Demon King’s only options were to wait for the Creator race to be wiped out or attempt a realm reduction that would likely kill it.
• Yun Shou connected the difficulty of changing extraordinary systems to the way martial arts altered the body, then wondered whether higher realms could remove that limitation.
• Yun Shou realized Qin Zhenhai might eventually combine two extraordinary systems through his Two Extremes Reversal Body.
• The Feather Demon King accepted that it had 133 days left and decided to live its remaining time brightly rather than fight the Human and Monster Races.
• The Feather Demon King resolved to travel across the Demon Lands and spend its last days in peace, fighting the Creator race only if necessary.

Yun Shou kept weakening the Feather Demon King by shaving away its essence as it traveled through the Demon Lands, while learning how the Devil Race created its True Bodies of the Demon God. After its essence fell to 0.85 times, the Feather Demon King raced at extreme speed toward the Sea Race’s territory, and Yun Shou found its trail there.

• The Feather Demon King traveled openly through the Demon Lands, sometimes entering Lower Realms to feast, while Yun Shou followed and learned about their demonized flesh barriers and the Devil Race’s methods of ascension.
• The Feather Demon King ate flesh from a True Body of the Demon God while its owner, an Armored King, stood by without protest.
• Yun Shou used his invisible great hand to shave the Feather Demon King ten times, lowering its essence to 0.87 times, and changed his taunts when it began fleeing from him.
• Yun Shou reasoned that Bei Chenguang might reach the Seventh Realm within a thousand years and could potentially be guided toward the Sixth Realm afterward.
• The Feather Demon King’s essence fell to 0.85 times, then it changed direction and raced at more than one hundred thousand li per second.
• Yun Shou chased the Feather Demon King for two days and found it in the Sea Race’s territory.

The Feather Demon King endured the Sea Race’s protests while its essence steadily declined, and the narrator secretly followed it from high above. When the Feather Demon King’s strength reached its limit, it committed suicide rather than become a puppet of the Creators, and its death stained the sky with blood qi.

• The Feather Demon King entered the Endless Sea, tore flesh from three Sea Venerables, and sampled it while the Sea Race suppressed its anger to preserve its long-term plan.
• Sea creatures attacked the Demon Lands’ coast in protest, though Yun Shou compared their response to a trivial act of revenge.
• The narrator followed the Feather Demon King from the Sun-Casting Belt and watched its essence fall as it visited the Brute Demon King, the Thorn Demon King, and the Myriad Demon Palace.
• The narrator noticed Pseudo-Kings moving more frequently through the Demon Lands but did not realize that a major event was approaching.
• After informing its allies of its decision, the Feather Demon King pierced its own skull with eighteen streams of blood qi and died rather than become a puppet of the Creators.
• The Feather Demon King’s blood qi spread across the sky for millions of li, reaching even regions more than ten million li away.

After the Feather Demon King died, Old Eleven left the Devil Race to begin its King Contention Feast and entered the Magnetic Attraction Belt. He used his long-range predictions to navigate the deadly magnetic forces, which could still tear his body apart if they caught him.

• The Demon-Humans and Devil Race retreated and sealed the Demon Lands after the Feather Demon King's death, warning the Human and Demon races not to interfere.
• Yun Shou concluded that the Devil Race would fall behind for generations, while Old Eleven planned to spare the Thorn Demon King and let it live out its remaining years in peace.
• Old Eleven decided to return and consult the Human Race's intelligence network rather than investigate the gathering Demon Kings himself.
• Old Eleven rose six million li above the ground into the Magnetic Attraction Belt, where invisible magnetic forces raced at six hundred thousand li per second.
• Old Eleven used sixty seconds of Future Prediction and thousands of scouting uses per second to evade the magnetic forces, though one half-second exposure in his simulations had left his body horribly mangled.

You returned to the Third Human-Demon War Zone and learned that the Demon Lands were preparing a King Contention Feast, where Pseudo Kings would fight over the fallen Great Demon King's corpse. King Supreme confronted you about entering the Demon Lands, and you insisted you had only gone to investigate.

• You judged that the Magnetic Attraction Belt could be crossed safely only by a true King, then flew back along the Sun-Casting Belt to conserve your mental energy.
• You descended into the Third Human-Demon War Zone and learned that the Demon Lands had contracted while preparing the King Contention Feast.
• You learned that two Great Demon Kings were guarding the fallen Great Demon King's corpse until the feast produced a victor, and you saw an opportunity to strike.
• King Supreme contacted you and asked why your location had shown you inside the Demon Lands three hours earlier.
• You denied planning to enter the Demon Lands and complained that King Supreme had violated the freedom and privacy promised during your vacation.

Yun Shou negotiated permission to keep infiltrating the Demon Lands while explaining why he concealed his Power of Time. He warned King Supreme that the Feather Demon King’s death might signal a threat tied to the Devil Race, leaving the Supreme Hall to consider guarding the human-demon border.

• King Supreme used Yun Shou’s signed vacation rules to argue that Yun Shou had violated his safety agreement, and Yun Shou protested that the terms had been hidden in the fine print.
• Yun Shou considered how the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Realms might differ and why revealing his Power of Time could attract powerful pursuers.
• The Supreme Hall agreed to let Yun Shou continue infiltrating the Demon Lands after he promised not to approach Demon Kings before he could harm them.
• King Supreme gave Yun Shou several codes and instructions for the infiltration, and Yun Shou agreed to implant their contents from the Omniscient Array.
• Yun Shou urged the Supreme Hall to awaken a Human King to guard the border, explaining that the Feather Demon King had seemed to foresee its death and suggesting a collapse in the Devil Race’s bloodline source was involved.

You warned King Supreme that the Devil Kings’ deteriorating condition might be caused by a higher race controlling them, and urged humanity to prepare for the Brute Demon King’s collapse. Two days later, the Brute Demon King suffered the same symptoms as the Feather Demon King, leaving the Devil Race facing a steep decline.

• You told King Supreme that the Devil Kings might be controlled by a higher race and recommended awakening the Human King in advance; King Supreme agreed to trust your warning.
• Yun Shou recognized the Brute Demon King as the devil that the Vitality Devouring Beast had swallowed in one bite.
• The Thorn Demon King told Gus that he had been chosen by the Overlord Demon Egg to break the shackles on their race, while Gus continued to resist becoming a devil.
• Two days later, the Brute Demon King’s blood and qi erupted and it began to suffer the same weakening of body, life force, and soul as the Feather Demon King.
• The Thorn Demon King silently protected Gus as the despairing Brute Demon King raged, and both kings recognized that the Devil Race was nearing a severe decline.

The Brute Demon King rampaged across the realms as its essence declined, fleeing after Jiang Yi intercepted its attack on the human domain and then turning on the sea folk. The human race and Demon Race condemned its slaughter but took no action, leaving the sea folk to face the devastation.

• The Brute Demon King's essence fell as it vented its rage by flattening mountains and reshaping the land.
• The Brute Demon King charged toward the Human Lands, but Jiang Yi sent it flying with one elbow, forcing it to flee.
• The Brute Demon King changed direction and attacked the sea folk, killing two Sea Supremes and crippling several others.
• More than fifty Sea Supremes confronted the Brute Demon King, which killed sixteen, gravely wounded twenty, and let the rest escape.
• The human race and Demon Race publicly condemned the Brute Demon King's actions while refusing to intervene.

Yun Shou realized the Sea Clan had a True King and stayed away from the battle while using resources to cultivate. As he reconstructed the Sea Clan’s future conquest, he feared fate was arranging his death to drive Bei Chenguang and Xiang Yang toward becoming True Kings.

• Yun Shou hid inside an illusory sun and learned that the Sea Clan had a True King-level Water Giant God.
• Yun Shou avoided the True King battle and consumed Martial Dao resources while estimating how long his cultivation would take.
• Yun Shou considered how Bei Chenguang had become a True King so quickly and suspected he had found superior Martial Dao Resources.
• Yun Shou recalled that the Sea Clan had conquered the Azure Domain after major powers fell, but reasoned that Bei Chenguang and Xiang Yang could eventually rise and counterattack.
• Yun Shou feared that his interference had disrupted the two Children of Destiny and that fate would make him die spectacularly as their master and benefactor.

Yun Shou reflected on fate and resolved to claim the Azure Domain, while the Water Giant God defeated the Brute Demon King and the sea race revealed how it had secretly created a Sea King. As the King Contention Feast continued, the Brute Demon King’s essence dwindled and its fury turned against the Devil Race’s future; after snapping, it headed first to humanity and then toward the sea race.

• Yun Shou decided humanity needed to occupy the Azure Domain to accelerate his leveling and gather resources.
• The Water Giant God chased the defeated Brute Demon King back toward the Demon Lands, and the sea race later held a ceremony for its newly exposed Sea King.
• The sea race claimed it had made the Water Giant God the ocean’s incarnation to draw on the sea’s gathered destiny, though Yun Shou suspected the explanation was false.
• As the Brute Demon King’s essence declined, it disrupted the King Contention Feast and killed talented Pseudo-Kings, while the Thorn Demon King guarded Gus and condemned its actions.
• After Yun Shou voiced the Thorn Demon King’s rebuke, the Brute Demon King snapped, went to humanity, turned away from Jiang Yi, and headed for the sea race.

The Brute Demon King rampaged through the Sea Race and Demon Race, killing hundreds of powerful beings before reaching Qing Domain’s barrier. Unable to break through it, the Brute Demon King burrowed underground to bypass the barrier and escape into a neighboring domain.

• After the Water Giant God returned to slumber, the Brute Demon King crossed the Endless Sea and killed hundreds of third-realm beings and two Fourth Realm Sea Venerates.
• The Brute Demon King invaded the Demon Race and slaughtered five Demon Venerates with Divine Beast bloodlines and many lesser demons.
• Yun Shou reflected that the casualties were still preferable to a future holy war, and that the Feather Demon King had been fortunate to be chosen first.
• The Brute Demon King abandoned its attack on the petty races and charged toward the edge of Qing Domain.
• When the Brute Demon King reached the domain barrier, it burrowed underground to bypass the Abyssal Sky Barrier through the underground belts.

The chapter recounts Gus’s past as a human resistance fighter and explains why the Thorn Demon King recognized his extraordinary Sacred Body.

• The Brute Demon King raced out of the Azure Domain, while you arrived at the Endless Sea without realizing it had already left.
• News of the Brute Demon King’s rampage spread through the Azure Domain, and the Thorn Demon King decided the Devil Race had no hope left there.
• The Thorn Demon King took Gus and chose to leave the Azure Domain, even though other domains held powerful rivals and the Devil Race struggled to coexist with other races.
• Gus’s history revealed that he had fought Demonized Creatures in a Lower Realm and awakened a Sacred Body with nine times the physical strength and mental power.
• The Thorn Demon King discovered Gus’s potential and recognized his Sacred Body as the reason he could battle Demonized Creatures.

The Human King, Demon King, and Sea King found the Demon Lands abandoned by their true kings and massacred its remaining pseudo-kings. As the three races issued an extermination order and claimed the territory, Yun Shou concluded that the Devil Race had been erased from the Qing Domain.

• The Thorn Demon King implanted the Overlord Demon Egg into Gus and planned to flee with him and some of his relatives and friends.
• The Human King, Demon King, and Sea King searched the Demon Lands for three hours but found no Demon Kings.
