Xiao Tianyang used the Goddess of Time and Space’s map to launch operations against the Hall of Gods’ treasure vaults. After Zhang Jiao broke into one vault and the Hall of Gods rushed troops toward Mount Wakalumbi, Xiao Tianyang ordered him to escape while he waited and sent a new order to headquarters.

• Xiao Tianyang sent Chaos Fire to guard the entrance while Void carried him into the vault.
• Xiao Tianyang collected several divine artifacts from the First Layer and opened the concealed passage to the Second Layer.
• Xiao Tianyang jumped into the ominous Second Layer and drew his blade after realizing the situation was more complicated than expected.

Chaos Fire drove Zeus and his faction from Soul Forest while Xiao Tianyang faced the released Hecatoncheires. After scanning the monster, Xiao Tianyang discovered it carried a Plane Core within its body and called for reinforcements.

• Xiao Tianyang summoned reinforcements and used Chaos Ring to identify the monster as a level 200 Hecatoncheires with a Plane Core inside its body.

• Xiao Tianyang retreated to an open area surrounded by mountains, where three Dragon Imperial Guard units ambushed and drove back the Hecatoncheires.
• The Imperial Guards activated a formation that sealed the area, and iron chains briefly restrained the giant.
• Xiao Tianyang ordered the troops to use Holy Light ammunition and explained the Hecatoncheires’ immense life force and temporary weakness periods.
• Xiang Yu and the other generals gathered the soldiers’ strength through the Battle Dragon Formation as Guo Ziyi and Chen Qingzhi directed the troops.
• The Hecatoncheires broke free and attacked, but Guo Ziyi directed concentrated fire that destroyed two heads and severed several arms, suppressing its regeneration.

Xiao Tianyang abandoned the first plan against the Hecatoncheires and coordinated the squads to destroy one of its heads while preparing Xiang Yu and the others for a breakthrough. After they rose in level and overcame most of the tier-based attack reduction, Xiang Yu launched a devastating assault and Yang Dayan struck the Hecatoncheires as it flew backward.

• Chen Qingzhi and Guo Ziyi received Xiao Tianyang’s order to activate the backup plan, reposition their squads, and switch to holy-light weapons and specialized firing modes.

The chapter left the Hecatoncheires buried in a devastating blast, with Xiao Tianyang evacuating the Imperial Guards.

Xiao Tianyang and his advisers uncovered Zeus's long-running scheme to use the Hecatoncheires and the Plane Core to strengthen Hall of Gods, a plan ruined by Douluo Continent's intervention. Jia Xu proposed using Hall of Gods to draw in the Evil God Faction, but Xiao Tianyang worried that the added threat would put too much pressure on the army.

• Xiao Tianyang and his advisers combined records and memories to learn that Zeus had engineered the Hecatoncheires' fusion with Souls of Calamity and the Plane Core as part of his Restart Plan.

• Xiao Tianyang asked Jia Xu how he had spread the news, and Jia Xu explained that he had used factions’ desire for fame and profit.

• Xiao Tianyang and Sun Wu understood that Jia Xu had used his insight into people and the Heavenly Tribulation Sect’s faction list to steer the Hall of Gods toward the Evil God Faction.
• Jia Xu’s arrangement concluded with the Hall of Gods preparing to contact the Evil God Faction, the only enemy the Heavenly Martial Dynasty could safely invite.

Xiao Tianyang and his advisers planned for the coming war against Azathoth and the Evil God Faction, considering a battle in the Abyss Battlefield to draw out their true bodies. He prepared a Heavenly Dao Imprint and began training in a simulated battlefield against ten supreme-god-level Evil Gods.

• Xiao Tianyang reviewed intelligence with Sun Wu and Jia Xu, who reported that Azathoth had become a supreme god and was supported by the Soul Collector, the Lord of the Underworld, and Necronomicon.
• Jia Xu concluded that the key Evil Gods would need to come in their true bodies, and Xiao Tianyang said he would deny them the chance to perform.

• Xiao Tianyang examined a Heavenly Dao Imprint that could mark and track nearby enemies, then asked Little Chaos whether the Heavenly Dao would cooperate with his plan.
• Little Chaos estimated a 66% chance of success, and Xiao Tianyang began a simulation in the Abyss Battlefield against ten supreme-god-level Evil Gods.

Xiao Tianyang and his commanders assessed the Evil God Legions’ growing threat and suspected a black bead atop a Black Tower was amplifying their mental contamination. They concluded the remaining Evil Gods might be waiting for Azathoth’s forces to weaken before intervening.

• Sun Wu reported that the Thirteenth Group Army was evenly matched with the Black Goat’s legion, while Guan Yu had slain Monroe, and Yang Jiye had drawn with Konda of the Malice Legion.
• Jia Xu warned that delaying could leave Douluo Continent unable to withstand the Void, while Zhang Liang explained the danger of the Evil Gods’ mental contamination.
• Sun Wu showed Xiao Tianyang, Zhang Liang, and Jia Xu a sketch of a Black Tower topped with a black bead, which he believed was the source of the contamination.
• Sun Wu described how Zhang Jiao’s Heavenly Gang Thunder had suppressed the Lord of the Underworld, helping Xiao Tianyang infer that destroying the bead could reduce the contamination affecting their soldiers.
• Xiao Tianyang learned that eleven Evil God Legions had yet to appear and suspected the Soul Collector and the other Evil Gods would wait until Azathoth’s forces showed signs of defeat.

Azathoth and the other Evil Gods planned to lure Xiao Tianyang into the Black Tower, but he recognized the trap and sent Chaos Fire to challenge them instead. Chaos Fire launched his ultimate attack at the Evil God camp, forcing the Soul Collector to call for support.

• Azathoth explained that the Evil Gods would use the Black Tower and the [Grudge Evil Pearl] to draw Xiao Tianyang in and try to kill him.
• The Heavenly Martial Dynasty won a string of battles over three days, and Xiao Tianyang watched the enemy without entering the black mist.
• Xiao Tianyang told Chaos Fire to call the Evil Gods out and return if they refused to fight.
• Chaos Fire ignored the cautious plan and hurled his Flame Iron Ring at the Evil God camp.
• The Soul Collector's souls failed to stop the Flame Iron Ring, so it warned the others and called for support.

Xiao Tianyang ordered the Heavenly Martial Dynasty's army to attack the Abyss Furnace while the Supreme Experts battled across the battlefield. As the fighting spread, the Soul Collector used a spatial severing technique to pull Zhang Jiao into close combat.

• The Lord of the Underworld, Azathoth, and the Necronomicon attacked Chaos Fire's Flame Iron Ring, but Chaos Fire charged into the Evil God ranks anyway.
• Chaos Fire fought the Soul Collector, and their battle moved from the battlefield into the clouds.
• Xiao Tianyang ordered the entire army to attack the Abyss Furnace, and Yue Fei's commanders led their forces into battle.

• The Soul Collector forced Chaos Fire back, summoned Zhang Jiao with a spatial severing technique, and prepared to fight him at close range.

Electrolux explained how to counter the Necronomicon and offered to turn its undead into an asset for the Heavenly Martial Dynasty. Xiao Tianyang agreed to help destroy its Soul Core, then entered a gate to another dimension while Electrolux went to hold it off.

• Zhang Jiao drew a bronze Bagua, a peach-wood staff, and a scroll from his Storage Soul Tool, making Soul Collector realize his rash actions had stabilized the battlefield but doomed him.
