Chapter Summaries

Rayne led the group across the desolate Sunset Plane toward the God of the Blazing Sun's tomb, where they encountered an ambush by Desert Trolls. The Extreme Warriors annihilated the Trolls with Explosive Bullet Guns, impressing the Minotaurs and giving Rayne an opportunity to recruit them.

• Rayne and the group left the cavern and traveled across the hot, barren Sunset Plane on Kodo Beasts.
• Dejiko explained how the Sun Walkers used the sun and local plants to find their direction in Atas.
• Rayne detected more than a hundred Desert Trolls preparing to ambush the travelers and ordered the group to prepare for battle.
• The Extreme Warriors fired their Explosive Bullet Guns and killed every Desert Troll before the Minotaurs could engage them.
• Rayne gave Borchi an Explosive Bullet Gun, prompting the Minotaurs to admire the weapon and Rayne's generosity.
• Rayne noticed the Minotaurs whispering about the guns and gained Soul Power from the Trolls' souls.

Rayne and his party crossed Atas, collecting souls for power and reaching the ruins of Anse’s Divine Kingdom in the Oritas Desert. Dejiko lured Sacred Scarabs from their underground nest, leaving Rayne ready to confront them.

• Rayne learned that Atas held millions of hostile creatures and considered them potential sources of power.
• Reslin began refining mithril plates for a Teleportation Array while Rayne’s party continued across the Sunset Plane.
• Extreme Warriors defeated attacks by Desert Trolls, monsters, and a group of Darkrock Giants, while Rayne collected their souls and captured the two Legendary Giants’ Demon Souls.
• Dejiko warned Rayne that Sandworms and Sand Wyrms made the Oritas Desert exceptionally dangerous, and the party entered the desert cautiously.
• Dejiko identified the ruins as fragments of Anse’s Divine Kingdom and explained that Sacred Scarabs nested around places infused with Divine Power.
• Dejiko threw an empowered Sun Crystal near a broken stone slab, drawing numerous Sacred Scarabs out of the sand.

Rayne and Dejiko hunted Sacred Scarabs across the Divine Kingdom ruins, collecting Demon Souls while Rayne gained Soul Power from attacking Mantis People. At the fifth ruin, a Legendary Sacred Scarab summoned a swarm, and Rayne killed it with a single hammer strike as Dejiko charged into its corpse.

• Rayne used Electric Claw to capture three Intermediate Tier Sacred Scarabs, which Dejiko killed so Rayne could extract their Demon Souls; they gathered nine in the first ruins.
• Rayne and Dejiko searched more ruins, reaching twenty-three Intermediate Tier Sacred Scarab Demon Souls after several days.
• Rayne's group defeated a Mantis People tribe with Explosive Bullet Guns, and Rayne devoured their souls, raising his Soul Power Pool to 348.
• At the fifth ruin, Dejiko used the Sun Crystal to draw out a swarm, including a Legendary Sacred Scarab that ate the crystal and summoned the other scarabs to attack.
• Rayne ordered the others to retreat, then struck the Legendary Sacred Scarab with his warhammer and killed it; Dejiko's charge crashed into its falling corpse.

Rayne and Dejiko led the battle against a vast swarm of Sacred Scarabs, with Rayne using Magic Blast Field and the Extreme Warriors firing Explosive Bullet Guns to destroy most of them. After the survivors fled and Dejiko began harvesting materials, Rayne sensed danger underground and warned everyone of a Sandworm.

• Rayne killed a Legendary Tier Sacred Scarab with one hammer strike, then sent Dejiko through an Any Door to fight the swarm from a safer position.
• Dejiko killed the Sacred Scarabs around him while Rayne drew the swarm toward himself and blasted it apart with repeated casts of Magic Blast Field.
• The Extreme Warriors joined the fight with Explosive Bullet Guns, and the combined attacks wiped out most of the swarm before the remaining Sacred Scarabs fled underground.
• Rayne let Dejiko harvest the Sacred Scarab materials and lent him the Epic Tier magic sword Song of the Azure Sky to cut through the shell.
• Rayne sensed movement beneath the sand near the returning Extreme Warriors and Kodo Beasts, then shouted a warning about a Sandworm.

Rayne led the group through a Void Gate to escape a horde of Sand Wyrms, then severed and killed the Legendary High Tier Sand Wyrm that pursued them. He extracted its Demon Soul and confirmed that he had obtained the Soul of the Sand Wyrm.

• The Sand Wyrms closed in while Dejiko harvested materials, and Rayne opened a Void Gate to lead the group to safety.
• Rayne wounded the giant Sand Wyrm with Thunder God's Hammer as the Extreme Warriors, Minotaurs, and Dejiko entered the gate.
• Rayne let the Sand Wyrm follow its head through the Void Gate, then closed the passage and severed its body between the two locations.
• Rayne killed the stranded section of the Sand Wyrm with repeated hammer strikes and extracted its Demon Soul using the Purple Origin Soul Crystal.
• Rayne confirmed that the crystal contained the Soul of the Sand Wyrm.

Rayne obtained the Sand Wyrm’s Legendary High Tier Demon Soul and led the Sunstrider Tribe through the Oritas Desert after collecting the Sacred Scarab Demon Souls he needed. The group reached the hidden tomb of the God of the Blazing Sun and entered its underground chamber, where they approached the pyramid as Rayne sensed a manageable but real danger.

• Rayne examined the Sand Wyrm’s Demon Soul, discovered its powerful Strength, Tenacity, Earthquake Pulse, Limb Regeneration, and other elements, then put it away because he could not fuse with it yet.
• Dejiko thanked Rayne, the group gathered materials from the Sand Wyrm, and they continued across the desert, collecting fifty Intermediate Tier Sacred Scarab Demon Souls along the way.
• Dejiko led the group into the central Oritas Desert and found the concealed entrance to the God of the Blazing Sun’s tomb by activating a carved stone slab with Holy Light Power.
• Rayne and the others descended into a vast underground chamber and saw the pyramid tomb, while Rayne sensed dense Holy Light Power and received a warning from the Will of Truth.
• After Dejiko prayed, he led the Minotaurs toward the pyramid, and Rayne followed after warning the Extreme Warriors to remain alert.

Rayne discovered that obelisks around the pyramid were collecting Faith Power from believers beyond the Sunstrider Tribe, suggesting a hidden reason the fallen God of the Blazing Sun could still answer prayers. At the tomb’s sealed entrance, Rayne pretended he needed ten to fifteen days to break its powerful protective array while secretly preparing to strengthen himself and giving Reslin time to build a Planar Teleportation Array.

• Rayne examined the active obelisks and realized they gathered Faith Power that flowed into the pyramid, then reasoned that distant believers might explain Anse’s unusual prospects for resurrection.
• Dejiko led Rayne and the others to Anse’s enormous pyramid tomb and demonstrated that touching its door triggered a powerful Solar Flare counterattack.
• Rayne dodged the strongest Solar Flare and claimed he could find flaws in the ancient protective array, estimating that the work would take ten to fifteen days.
• Rayne supplied the group with food and water and opened a Void Gate to bring the Minotaurs and Kodo Beasts into the tomb safely.
• Rayne pretended to study the door’s runes while secretly preparing to spend more than 700 units of power from his Soul Power Pool to strengthen himself.

Rayne advanced to Legendary Intermediate Tier after elevating the Key of the Gate to Seventh Circle, gaining the power to perceive hidden structures and weaknesses. He discovered a giant snake inside the pyramid and realized that a strange stone within it emitted Divinity transformed from Faith Power.

• Rayne filled his Soul Power Pool and triggered Soul Ascension before choosing which Element to elevate.
• Rayne abandoned the Wish Spell after learning that raising it to Seventh Circle would cost more power than he had, and instead elevated the Key of the Gate to Seventh Circle.
• Rayne underwent a painless Soul Metamorphosis, expanding his phone's soul-devouring range and increasing the Soul Power Pool's limit to two thousand units.
• Rayne discovered that the Legendary Key of the Gate let him see through objects, identify weaknesses, perceive planar boundaries, and enhance his spatial and temporal Arcane Arts.
• Rayne saw a giant snake coiled on an altar inside the pyramid and confirmed that it was neither Anse nor a creature of Saint Tier.
• Rayne found an unseeable stone inside the snake and recognized that the energy it emitted was Divinity transformed from Faith Power.

Rayne realized that the stone inside the Sunspot Viper was the Divine Fire left by the God of the Blazing Sun, the key to a mortal’s ascension and the god’s planned resurrection. He discovered how the viper had entered the tomb and absorbed the Divinity, then decided to conceal the Divine Fire from the Minotaurs while he considered what to do.

• Rayne told Dejiko that he had found a key node in the Rune Array, hiding his excitement over identifying the Divine Fire.
• Rayne recalled that Divine Fire was necessary for mortals to become gods and understood how the God of the Blazing Sun had intended to revive.
• Rayne found a narrow crack in the pyramid that had allowed the Sunspot Viper to crawl inside and swallow the Divine Fire.
• Rayne reasoned that the viper had absorbed too much Divinity to survive and had mistaken its agonized hisses for responses to the Minotaurs’ prayers.
• Rayne recognized that the Divine Fire could prevent the God of the Blazing Sun from reviving if it were taken, and resolved to keep it hidden from the Minotaurs.
• Rayne decided to strengthen himself first while he searched for a way to secure the Divine Fire.

Rayne spent his remaining Soul Power upgrading Rainbow Ray, Lightning Burst Orb, Any Door, Mirror Image, and Blood Rage, greatly increasing his combat abilities. He then used the All-Seeing Eye to watch the Sunspot Viper through the pyramid gate and weighed how to take the Divine Fire from the Minotaurs.

• Rayne raised Rainbow Ray to the Seventh Circle, where it became a Superb Element and gained devastating range and power.
• Rayne advanced Lightning Burst Orb to the Seventh Circle and Any Door to the Seventh Circle, while noting their remaining limits and his need for more Lightning Form elements.
• Rayne improved Mirror Image to the Seventh Circle, giving it eight images that lasted fifteen minutes and possessed about sixty percent of his attributes.
• Rayne strengthened Blood Rage to level 5 and realized that advancing it further could create the Legendary Element Infinite Rage, but required more than seven hundred units of power.
• Rayne observed the Sunspot Viper through the gate with the All-Seeing Eye and considered killing it and taking the Divine Fire despite the Minotaurs' likely opposition.

Rayne secretly learned Tim Kenan's Sword Technique and enhanced the Void-Splitting Sword, preparing to kill the Sunspot Viper and take the Divine Fire. On the thirteenth day, he switched places with Reslin, who stepped through a Portal toward the pyramid.

• Rayne found a gap behind the pyramid and planned to enter unseen, but needed Reslin to finish a Planar Teleportation Array and a way to quickly defeat the Sunspot Viper.
• Rayne used the Key of the Gate to learn Tim Kenan's Sword Technique and summoned the Void-Splitting Sword.
• Rayne linked the sword to the Rainbow Law, making it grow into a five-meter weapon that he believed could kill the Sunspot Viper within three strikes.
• Rayne spent the following days appearing to study the pyramid's Protective Array while secretly helping Reslin construct the Planar Teleportation Array.
• On the thirteenth day, Rayne used Rook Exchange to switch places with Reslin behind the pyramid, and Reslin opened a Portal and stepped through it.

Reslin and Rayne carried out a deception to get Rayne's main body into Anse's mausoleum while Reslin posed as him outside. As Reslin opened the mausoleum under the Minotaurs' protection, Rayne reached the palace and began ambushing the Sunspot Viper.

• Reslin tested the Teleportation Array in the desert, and Rayne's main body used it to enter the mausoleum before joining Reslin behind the pyramid.
• Reslin transformed himself to look like Rayne, wore the Blood Cloak, and returned to the entrance while Rayne used a Warp Gem and Living Metal to place a teleportation point inside the pyramid.
• Reslin convinced Dejiko and the Minotaurs that opening the mausoleum was their only chance to help their lord, then arranged their forces and brought out the Lightning-Forged Colossus.
• While Reslin drew the Sunspot Viper's attention by activating the Protective Array, Rayne warped into the palace and waited invisibly as the creature approached the gate.
• Rayne attacked the Sunspot Viper with the Void-Splitting Sword, then trapped it in a Stasis Field and cast True Word Immobilization Spell.

Rayne stole the Divine Fire from the Sunspot Viper and lured the enraged creature out of the pyramid, where Reslin, Dejiko, the Lightning-Forged Colossus, and the Extreme Warriors confronted it. The Sunspot Viper was badly wounded but remained locked around the Colossus as Rayne watched the battle unfold.

• Rayne immobilized the Sunspot Viper, used the Void-Splitting Sword to expose its Divine Fire, and pulled the relic from its body with an Electric Claw.
• Rayne baited the pursuing Sunspot Viper into the passage, escaped its charge with an Any Door, and let it crash into the pyramid’s gate as Reslin opened the entrance.
• The Sunspot Viper burst through the gate and attacked Reslin and Dejiko, while Reslin exchanged places with Rayne and stored the Divine Fire in the Nebula Ring.
• Rayne ordered the Extreme Warriors to fire on the Sunspot Viper, while the Lightning-Forged Colossus blocked it with a Sunlight Spear and struck its head with a heavy fist.
• Dejiko attacked the Sunspot Viper with his shield and hammer, but its Venom Breath corroded his armor and its tail sent him flying.
• The Extreme Warriors continued firing as the Sunspot Viper constricted the Lightning-Forged Colossus, and Rayne told the Minotaurs not to charge in.

Rayne drew the Sunspot Viper away from the pyramid and killed it with two Void-Splitting Swords after the Extreme Warriors and Lightning-Forged Colossus weakened it. The pyramid doors closed before the Minotaurs could reach them, leaving them praying in despair until a voice sounded in their minds.

• The Minotaurs recognized the Sunspot Viper as the creature that had stolen their lord’s Divine Power, and Atomo charged at it despite Dejiko’s warning.
• Rayne moved the Lightning-Forged Colossus and lured the Sunspot Viper away from the pyramid entrance, then attacked it with a Rainbow Ray and the colossus while the Extreme Warriors fired.
• Rayne summoned two Void-Splitting Swords, which repeatedly struck the Sunspot Viper and severed its head from its body.
• The pyramid doors shut, and Atomo burned himself trying to push them open before Dejiko and the Minotaurs knelt to pray.
• A voice suddenly rang in the Minotaurs’ minds as they prayed.

The God of the Blazing Sun awakened early and sent the Minotaurs away, while Rayne formed an alliance with the Sunstrider Tribe and claimed the Sunspot Viper’s remains. Left alone in the pyramid, Reslin revealed that he had impersonated the god and considered taking advantage of the Divine Fire, as Rayne departed with a large reserve of Soul Power.

• The God of the Blazing Sun spoke to Dejiko and the Minotaurs, explained that his early awakening left him too weak to grant rewards, and told them to leave the tomb and return to the Material Plane.
• Dejiko thanked Rayne for helping resolve their Lord’s trouble and swore an alliance between the Sunstrider Tribe and House Augustus, which Rayne accepted.
• Rayne claimed the Sunspot Viper’s corpse in exchange for one-tenth of the potions made from it, then stored the body and gathered its blood and other supplies in the Nebula Ring.
• Dejiko led the Minotaurs out of the tomb, and they concealed the entrance before riding away across the desert.
• Reslin revealed that he had used the Divine Fire to hear the Minotaurs’ prayers and impersonate the God of the Blazing Sun, whose remaining divinity was still dormant within it.
• Reslin considered exploiting the Divine Fire, while Rayne checked his phone interface and saw 1893 in his Soul Power Pool.

Rayne gained a huge reserve of charge by absorbing the Sunspot Viper’s Demon Soul and some of the Divine Fire’s divinity. Reslin used the shared charge to reach Level 19 and strengthen several spells, then prepared the pyramid as a secret base while considering how to reach Saint Tier and eventually godhood.

• Rayne’s Mutated Cellphone converted the Sunspot Viper’s Demon Soul and some Divine Fire divinity into a total of 1,893 charge units.
• Reslin assessed the God of the Blazing Sun’s followers and concluded that the god’s resurrection was unlikely, while deciding to pursue godhood on a separate path from Rayne.
• Reslin spent charge to rise from Level 14 to Level 19, triggering five Soul Ascensions and entering Legendary High Tier.
• Reslin raised Key of the Gate to the Seventh Circle and improved several other spells, saving a little over 500 charge units for Rayne.
• Reslin considered the difficult requirements for reaching Saint Tier, then began modifying the Planar Teleportation Array to connect it to the pyramid’s Rune Array.

Rayne returned from the Sunset Plane with the Sunstrider Tribe allied to House Augustus, then brought Minotaur Sun Walkers to Glamorgan to train his Gunwing Knights. After Sacred Scarab Demon Souls empowered the knights and Rayne raised his Strength, more than fifty Extreme Warriors advanced to the Legendary level.

• Rayne and the Sunstrider Tribe returned to Bright Cliff, where Dejiko arranged a feast and offered twenty-four Sun Walkers led by Atomo and Leia to serve under Rayne.
• Rayne established a long-distance teleportation array at Bright Cliff and returned to Glamorgan with the Sun Walkers, then paid Habu to keep the Sacred Scarab and Gunwing Knight secrets quiet.
• Rayne summoned his level 4 Gunwing Knights and paired each with a compatible Sacred Scarab Demon Soul; Deson fused first and gained powerful abilities through Holy Light Power.
• Rayne told the Gunwing Knights that Sun Walkers would teach them to wield Holy Light Power, then returned to Glamorgan and used electricity to raise his Strength to level 11.
• Rayne equipped the Titan Strength Armor, which further increased his Strength and triggered Legendary advances among more than fifty of his Extreme Warriors.

Rayne returned to his family and territory before investing in Sparrowhawk’s alchemy research and entrusting him with divine-creature materials. The chapter ended when Osiria visited Rayne during her mating period.

• Rayne returned to Kingsland, spent time with Emilith and Rex, and heard the rumors about Emilith sleeping late after their night together.
• Rayne funded Sparrowhawk’s Berserk Speed Potion research with four hundred thousand Gold Shields and offered him a share of future sales.
• Rayne gave Sparrowhawk a piece of Sunspot Viper flesh and asked him to study how to process the divine-creature materials, with Rayne and other Wizards available to assist.
• Osiria teleported to Rayne’s tower, said she had missed him, and revealed through her behavior that she had entered her mating period.

Rayne and Osiria were interrupted by Polaris during an intimate encounter, then resumed their business and shared Elements through their Soul Contract. Osiria discovered the scale of Rayne’s power and the Wish Spell, which she could not copy, while Rayne chose her Rainbow Cloak; the sharing left that choice unresolved.

• Polaris teleported to the tower to seek Rayne’s advice and unexpectedly witnessed him with Osiria before fleeing in embarrassment.
• After Polaris left, Rayne locked the tower’s teleportation permissions, and he and Osiria resumed their interrupted encounter.
• Osiria asked whether Rayne intended to pursue Polaris, and Rayne denied it before noticing that Osiria had advanced to level fifteen.
• Rayne and Osiria activated their Soul Pact Element to share Elements, and Osiria was stunned by the many powerful Elements and Legendary Elements on Rayne’s Soul World Tree.
• Osiria found Rayne’s Wish Spell but failed to copy it, then refused to choose another Element in its place.
• Rayne decided to copy Osiria’s Rainbow Cloak to strengthen his defenses.

Rayne used the Wish Spell to make Dragon Strength Technique constant, then spent the following weeks managing his many responsibilities and helping Sparrowhawk develop a potion from divine materials. The chapter ended with Rayne assigning Sparrowhawk, Polaris, and Dalamar to secretly produce the potion for his Transcendent Legion.

• Rayne copied Rainbow Cloak into his soul but decided against copying Osiria's Rainbow Dragon Breath to protect her identity.
• Rayne used the Wish Spell to make Dragon Strength Technique constant, then raised it back to the Fifth Circle using charge from his Soul Power Pool.
