• Redman accepted Lu Sheng’s takeover as Lu Sheng extinguished the palace fire, resumed Lan Ni Er’s form, and proclaimed her succession to the throne.

• Lu Sheng questioned Karl about mage ranks and offered him power and long life in exchange for becoming a devoted follower.

• Three days later, Gracie and Duke Wilson led the coalition army to South Garrison City and ordered an assault on its walls.
• The Imperial defenders fought without fear, while Lu Sheng’s armored giants repelled attackers and survived a siege ballista bolt.

Lu Sheng used the battlefield to begin an attempt to overlap his world with the universe and devour it, unleashing monstrous forces that overwhelmed the allied army and corrupted the imperial capital.

After returning to the Olga Imperial Capital, he digested the universe he had devoured, reunited Lan Ni Er’s family, and received Wendy Ni’s directions to the front lines while his monster continued draining O'Nardu’s barrier.

• Wendy Ni warned O'Nardu’s mages that Lu Sheng was approaching, but he stopped at their barrier to ask for Wang Jing and learned she had gone to the front lines with her teacher.

Lu Sheng worried that the Yellow Universe would take too long to digest, then followed the O'Nardu King’s trail through the Mother River and entered a new world. After learning of trouble involving Lu Ning and the rise of new Emptiness Monsters, he awoke in the body of Harsa Latin, an ordinary resident of a world populated by Ability Users.

• Lu Sheng found that the Yellow Universe contained fewer than ten billion units of God-Entrusting Power and rejected seeking help from the Gray Liquid faction.
• Lu Sheng traced the O'Nardu King and Wang Jing toward the Mother River’s upper reaches, then used a fragment of O'Nardu’s golden light barrier to locate their universe.

• Ban Sai warned that powerful, instinct-driven Emptiness Monsters were appearing as the void’s encroachment on the Existence Alliance accelerated.
• Lu Sheng entered a white universe vortex and woke in a dust-covered shop as Harsa Latin, whose memories revealed a world of Ability Users.

• Lu Sheng used Gray Liquid Power to adjust Harsa Latin’s body, cleaned the shop, and learned that Harsa’s final wish was to find his parents.
• After police took his statement about the previous night’s destruction, Lu Sheng returned to the shop and began making enchanted wooden carvings to spread his tendrils and vision.
• Hannah entered Latin Convenience Store looking for office supplies and was drawn to a small red wooden boat after Lu Sheng suggested it could help her escape her troubles.

• Lu Sheng explained that worshippers of the Phoenix King’s boat could gain superpower modifications and that their worship would strengthen its original holder.

Lu Sheng left his shop to recruit believers by planting divine wooden carvings in people with strong desires and perseverance. He expanded his plans for the Star Divine Hall and continued distributing carvings as he traveled, ending after choosing a young woman who longed to lose weight as a believer of the Flesh Evil God.

• Lu Sheng went into a crowded commercial district and gave a Phoenix King carving to a desperate young man, who accepted it and received unfamiliar information.
• Lu Sheng planted a Thousand-Headed Wolf God carving for Mr. Dien, an ambitious ability user whose bodyguards could not see it, and Dien pocketed it after its message reached his mind.

• Lu Sheng gave a Flesh Evil God carving to an overweight young woman whose intense wish was to lose weight, become beautiful, and grow more confident.

Lu Sheng expanded the Four Great Gods Church while investigating Harsa Latin’s origins and searching for Wang Jing and her disciple. Nording German’s old photograph revealed that Harsa might be his abducted eldest son, as Nording sensed that a major event was approaching.

• Lu Sheng returned to White City, found that a thief had taken the Flesh Evil God carvings from his shop, and met Dien to explain the Four Great Gods and church rituals.

Lu Sheng continued investigating this world while running his shop, and he unexpectedly met Harsa Latin’s biological younger sister. After marking her and letting her leave without revealing their connection, he turned to Dien’s report on the world’s supernatural powers, suspecting Wang Jing and her companions were among its superhuman heroes.

• Lu Sheng’s growing network of believers failed to find his family, so he considered using a spell to trace his origins but decided to test the world’s rules first.
• Two groups of students visited Lu Sheng’s shop, where they browsed and bought goods while he ran the business with little effort.

• Lu Sheng received Dien’s email about the world’s supernatural powers and suspected Wang Jing and her master and disciple were among the superhuman heroes.

Lu Sheng investigated a mysterious man linked to two Destruction Grade disasters and found him in New Belia State. After Wei Dazhuang casually destroyed a giant monster, Lu Sheng accompanied him to a convenience store, determined to uncover his strength.

Lu Sheng met Nording German, who believed Lu Sheng was the son he had lost, and later confirmed through a paternity test that Lu Sheng was the German Family’s eldest son. Though he kept his distance from his family, a deadly clash between the Flesh Evil God Church and the Hero Association escalated into a wider conflict.

• Enna brought her father, Nording German, to meet Lu Sheng, and Nording recognized a strong resemblance to himself and suspected Lu Sheng was his missing eldest son.
• Nording left the shop to give Lu Sheng time to consider the revelation, then resolved to arrange a paternity test and make amends to him.
