Chapter Summaries

Bai Lin proposed that Nokron was the Ancient God of Light transformed into a human and sent back from the future, while Meng Yi was Atabia from another timeline. Elise was shocked by the theory but found its logic plausible, leaving their origins as a startling possibility rather than a confirmed truth.

• Elise rejected the idea that Nokron and the Ancient God of Light could be the same person because they were born in different eras.
• Bai Lin suggested that the Ancient God of Light traveled back from the future and became Nokron, and Elise began to consider the possibility.
• Bai Lin argued that Meng Yi could be Atabia from another timeline, a Time Ancient God who had fought the Ancient God of Light in normal history.
• Bai Lin theorized that Atabia and the Ancient God of Light developed feelings, negotiated an end to their battle, and transformed the Ancient God of Light's brain into a human form.
• Bai Lin proposed that the human Ancient God of Light became Nokron and returned to the past to oppose his former self, leaving Elise wondering whether only the Ancient God of Light could kill himself.

Bai Lin and Elise speculated that Nokron was either a reborn being transformed by Meng Yi or a future Ancient God of Light who had crossed into their era. Elise decided to investigate Nokron, while Atabia sensed that she was thinking about him and headed to the Netherworld.

• Bai Lin argued that Nokron could cross through time without causing a paradox because the Ancient God of Light's neurons were continually replaced, making his future self a similar clone.
• Elise imagined that Atabia had disguised himself as a woman to court Meng Yi, while Atabia sensed Elise thinking about him and prepared to visit the Netherworld.
• Elise and Bai Lin settled on two theories about Nokron: Meng Yi had transformed him before death, or he was a future Ancient God of Light who had crossed into their era.
• Elise sent Bai Lin away with orders to keep their theories secret and resolved to investigate Nokron's identity.
• Elise looked toward the Origin World and wondered whether Nokron, who had helped them through history, was the future supreme God of Light.

As the Netherworld prepared for war, Elise gathered the assembled allies and declared war on the Ancient God of Light. The Human Way attacked Heaven in the year 7001 of the Ancient Tree Calendar, beginning a universe-wide battle.

• Li Qing worried that Bai Lin’s bizarre deduction had correctly identified Nokron as the Ancient God of Light, then continued researching the fusion of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

• The Son of Heaven arrived, and he and Herodotus fought, with the Son of Heaven coughing blood but maintaining his battle prowess.
• Elise assembled the allies and announced that they would help Atabia break through his final bottleneck and become the Time Ancient God.
• After ten years of preparation, Elise declared war on the Ancient God of Light, prompting factions and ancient powers across the worlds to mobilize.
• In the year 7001 of the Ancient Tree Calendar, the Human Way attacked Heaven and the great tribulation began.

The Ancient God of Light’s autonomous Heavenly Dao launched an invasion of the Myriad Worlds, where Immortal emperors and other fighters resisted. Elise gathered the universe’s Power of Life and confronted the Heavenly Dao on the Origin Continent, beginning their decisive battle.

• The Ancient God of Light’s forces drilled into the Myriad Worlds and began battling its defenders across the universe.
• An Immortal Emperor killed an Ancient God of Heaven and Earth and rallied fighters to follow the Human Emperor and First Mother.

• Elise proclaimed that she would fight Heaven for all living beings, while people across the universe chanted her name and supplied her with the Power of Life.
• The Ancient God of Light recalled past Human Emperors who had failed to defy it, but Elise declared that her will could not be killed.
• Elise wrapped her arms around the ancient tree and attacked the Ancient God of Light.

Elise fought the Ancient God of Light, broke the Light Ancient Tree’s trunk, and tried to cut off its power supply. The tree transformed its crown into a flying head that could keep drawing energy and began trying to convert Elise, putting her fighting spirit and conviction at risk.

• Sylvie explained that Elise could win by breaking the Light Ancient Tree’s trunk, while Nokron warned that even her immortality depended on her will to keep fighting.
• Elise snapped the tree in two and charged at the Ancient God of Light, eager to attack him now that his roots were severed.
• The tree crown folded into a gigantic head, with Celestial Neurons acting as its brain and the lower trunk still supplying it with energy.
• Atabia recognized that the flying head was trying to cover Elise and convert her through the Celestials’ recitation of the Bible of Light.
• Elise realized that the Ancient God of Light had planned for her strategy and was targeting her fighting spirit to make her despair.

Elise fought the Ancient God of Light by repeatedly smashing her head into the ground, turning its attempt to make her worship Heaven into a brutal contest of endurance. The Ancient God of Light developed a way to absorb the impacts and vowed that future Human Emperors would become Heaven’s Sons if Elise could not defeat it.

• Elise was trapped beneath the Tree Crown Blood Dropper as the Ancient God of Light’s celestial beings tried to convert her by reciting scripture.
• Elise began kowtowing at immense speed, smashing both herself and the tree-like headpiece against the Origin Continent.
• The Abyssal Nether Dragon recorded the battle as a history in which Heaven’s Will shattered because it could not withstand Elise’s worship.
• The Ancient Gods of Light warned Elise that she would eventually exhaust herself, but she continued attacking and challenged Heaven to endure her kowtows.
• Li Qing wondered why the Ancient God of Light was acting unlike him, while the Ancient God of Light devised a shock-absorption method and threatened to make future Human Emperors Heaven’s Sons.

Elise’s fury made her battle the Ancient God of Light’s head-covering, while Atabia discovered that the fight was unfolding according to the enemy’s plan. He returned from the future with the revelation that the Ancient God of Light was using Elise’s head-smashing struggle to seize a chance to fuse the Three Thousand Great Daos and become a level-zero crippled Matter God.

• Elise’s anger at the prospect of future Human Emperors becoming Sons of Heaven drove her to fight harder as the head-covering chanted scriptures and attacked her mind.
• Atabia decided to leave the Timeline and seek a way to restart events, but returned almost immediately after finding that the future had been lost.
• Atabia told Li Qing, Herodotus, Bai Lin, and the others that the Ancient God of Light had engineered Elise’s head-smashing battle as part of his plan.
• Atabia explained that the Ancient God of Light was using the battle to seize an opportunity to fuse the Three Thousand Great Daos and become a level-zero crippled Matter God.
• Sylvie and another girl privately speculated that Elise could instead smash her head against Nokron and help him break through.

Bai Lin explained that Elise’s frenzied bowing was helping the Ancient God of Light complete his breakthrough into a Level 0 incomplete Matter God, and Atabia revealed that this led to humanity’s defeat in the future. Elise stopped after learning the scheme, but the Ancient God of Light claimed he had anticipated their time travel and warned that they had used their only chance to turn back time.

• Bai Lin explained that the Ancient God of Light was using Elise’s life force to fuse the Three Thousand Great Daos into a complete brain and break through.
• Professor Wales described the future historical record, in which Elise was condemned as a traitor and humanity became the Sons of Heaven.
• Atabia said that the Ancient God of Light completed his breakthrough within an hour and nearly wiped out their side.
• The future Atabia vanished, and the Atabia of this era told Elise to stop helping the Ancient God of Light; Elise immediately halted her bowing.
• The Ancient God of Light revealed that he had expected them to travel through time and said they had no second chance before their defeat.

The Ancient God of Light trapped Elise in a dilemma, but she sealed her will and entered a dormant state to escape his assault. He then revealed another half of his brain, which pierced through the Rainbow Bridge toward the Celestial Realm, alarming Herodotus and the others.

• The Saint Dragon told everyone that changing the past had prevented humanity from becoming traitors to the Heavenly Dao, and the Son of Heaven recoiled at the prospect of an era of Sons of Heaven.
• The Ancient God of Light demanded that Elise submit to him and threatened to chant her to death, forcing her to choose between strengthening him by attacking and losing her will by resisting.
• Atabia advised Elise to transfer her brain, but the hood followed her consciousness, wrapped around her body, and continued chanting scriptures.
• Elise sealed her five senses and most of her will, entering a dormant state that prevented the Ancient God of Light from eroding her mind.
• The Ancient God of Light sensed Elise's dormant body and shifted his consciousness to the Abyss World, where a second brain burst through the Rainbow Bridge toward the Celestial Realm.
• Herodotus recognized the brain as the other hemisphere, while Li Qing watched in astonishment and wondered whether his alter ego and the others could withstand the Ancient God of Light.

Atabia slowed the Abyss brain and accelerated time inside it, hoping to age its inhabitants and destroy it, but the Ancient God of Light used the tactic to complete his transformation into the Matter God. As the Matter God sealed the Godhead Ancient Gods’ powers and turned the battle into a massacre, Atabia revealed he had anticipated the breakthrough and prepared a hidden counterplay inside the Abyss brain.

• Atabia summoned his modified Time Dragon and slowed the Abyss brain while accelerating time within it, causing the Celestial Beings inside to rapidly age.
• The Ancient God of Light revealed that the brain’s death had helped him fuse the Three Thousand Great Daos and complete his transformation into the Matter God.
• The Matter God used Destroy Dao to seal the powers of the self-cultivation-method Ancient Gods, allowing their Heaven and Earth Method enemies to slaughter them across the battlefields.
• Atabia explained that he had knowingly let the Ancient God of Light use his scheme and had arranged for an ally to hide among the Abyss brain’s Celestial Beings.
• A hidden Celestial Being opened its eyes inside the dead Abyss brain as the Wind of Matter swirled and a crack split the brain open.

Nokron broke through to become a Matter God and restored the sealed powers of the Three Thousand Great Daos, turning the battle against the Ancient God of Light around. Atabia then asked Nokron to use matter to help him break through his time bottleneck, while Li Qing anticipated that their combined advances could lead to the universe’s ultimate realm.

• Atabia secretly entered the rampaging Abyssal Brain, while Nokron fused with the Three Thousand Great Daos under his temporal augmentation.
• Nokron emerged as a Matter God and used the Wind of Matter to restore the divine-character Ancient Gods’ sealed powers.
• The Ancient God of Light realized Atabia had used the scheme to get Nokron to break through, and Atabia told Nokron the gamble had succeeded.
• Atabia asked Nokron to help him sense the flow of matter so he could break through his final bottleneck and master time.
• Atabia explained that mastering time could help the Son of Heaven adapt to Space Fragments and become a Space God.
• Li Qing watched the new plan unfold and anticipated that the coming breakthroughs would lead to a final battle in which the Ancient God of Light would die.

Li Qing helped Atabia begin breaking through, while Knuckle Nokron entered the battle against the Ancient God of Light. Facing the Light God’s enormous material scepter, Knuckle joined forces with Elise and donned her reincarnation artifact as armor, then charged back into the fight.

• Li Qing manipulated Atabia’s material body, triggering the chain reaction that began his breakthrough.
• The Ancient God of Light attacked Atabia, but Knuckle Nokron teleported in and intercepted him with a punch.
• Knuckle and the Ancient God of Light exchanged blows, and the Light God revealed a scepter forged from the ancient tree’s trunk.
• Li Qing recognized that Knuckle lacked a divine artifact and asked the Emperor to teleport him to Elise’s statue.
• Knuckle entered Elise’s consciousness, and she agreed to share her reincarnation artifact with him.
• Elise’s celestial-phenomenon body transformed into armor for Knuckle, who charged at the Ancient God of Light and struck him.

The Ancient God of Light stopped fighting Li Qing and waited to see whether Atabia would complete his breakthrough, while both sides recognized that victory depended on the Time Ancient God. Atabia completed the River of Time and then continued helping the Son of Heaven produce the Space God before confronting the Ancient God of Light again.

• The Ancient God of Light realized that Li Qing and Nokron could hold him off, so he admitted he was done fighting and sat down to watch Atabia.
• The Ancient God of Light explained that he could not be killed easily and hinted that he had kept contingencies in reserve for a future comeback.
• Li Qing and the Ancient God of Light discussed the danger that many Matter Gods could consume the universe's matter and bring about an apocalypse.
• Atabia completed his breakthrough, joining the frozen presents into a dynamic picture and completing the River of Time.
• Atabia declined to attack the restrained Ancient God of Light and continued helping the Son of Heaven produce the Space God before facing him again.

Atabia transformed into the Time God, vanishing from the present and establishing a Timeline for the universe. After the Ancient God of Light analyzed how Atabia could traverse time, the chapter revealed his ability to observe the past and future, though his future visions only formed in places he visited.

• Atabia banished the Son of Heaven into a crack of hyper-accelerated time, then sat with the Ancient God of Light and waited for him to return before fighting.
• The Ancient God of Light realized that Atabia, One Life God, and One Matter God were stalling until they could face him together.
• Atabia explained that transforming into the Dao left him without a material form in the present, while Herodotus could act as his agent.
• The Ancient God of Light deduced that the past and future were virtual until observed or traversed, and Atabia confirmed his analysis.
• Atabia revealed that he could travel to places in the past and future, observe their conditions, and question people there, though his future travels only created a limited region around him.

Atabia considered the limits of his time-traveling power while the gods debated the bleak future that would follow their victory over Ancient God of Light. Ancient God of Light offered to serve as their test subject and pursue the path to a true Level 0 God, leaving the surrounded gods to weigh his proposal.

• Atabia realized he could travel into the future only once for now and resolved to keep helping the Heavenly Son grow stronger.
• Elise and the other gods confronted Ancient God of Light, who argued that their combined power could not kill him because he controlled much of the universe’s matter.
• Nokron described a future ruled by a crippled Level 0 Material God, and Atabia said that only a complete Creator God could advance the universe beyond the Four Gods’ era.
• Elise argued that the next era would be a stagnant paradox because the Four Supreme Gods would not hand their hard-won foundations to another prodigy.
• Ancient God of Light offered to become their Black Gloves and research the path to a true Level 0 God, claiming his three thousand brain cells could develop aptitudes for time, space, and life.

The Ancient God of Light tried to divide Elise and her allies by highlighting their ambitions and distrust, but the Son of Heaven broke through to a new realm and Atabia used knowledge of the future to organize a counterattack. The group trapped the Ancient God of Light inside a newly formed Parallel Universe, leaving him facing defeat.

• The Ancient God of Light argued that Elise, Atabia, and the Son of Heaven pursued their own ambitions, then sowed suspicion among them by suggesting Atabia might secretly be conspiring with him.
• The Ancient God of Light praised Elise for acting on behalf of all living beings, but the Son of Heaven then broke through and gained power over spatial dimensions.
• Atabia entered the River of Time to inspect the future, returned, and told the others that the Ancient God of Light was difficult to kill and had many backup plans.
• Atabia and the Son of Heaven combined their powers to lift the Origin Continent into a new space-time, while Nokron and Elise supplied its material structure and life.
• The group turned the raised region into a Parallel Universe and sealed the Ancient God of Light inside, making his defeat appear certain.

The supreme gods trapped the Ancient God of Light in an isolated realm, where they began a long battle to grind him down. Nokron and Li Qing left the fight, while Nokron told Xilfu to ensure Elise kept managing reincarnation outside the battlefield.

• The Origin Continent vanished from the universe as the battlefield was raised into a higher-dimensional space and isolated beyond the River of Time.
• Atabia and the Son of Heaven told the Ancient God of Light that he was trapped, and that they would keep fighting him until he died.
• The Ancient God of Light summoned the God Tree of Origin and began battling the supreme gods, warning that they might turn on one another or secretly help him.
• Nokron declined to fight and returned toward the Myriad Worlds, while Li Qing said he would join the battle only when he wanted to.
• Xilfu called the isolated realm the Eternal God War Battlefield, and Nokron told him to let Elise fight while keeping a fragment of reincarnation outside to manage everyone.

After the Ancient God of Light fell, Nokron took charge of ruling the universe and appointed Sylvie and Elise to govern matter and energy. He ended the war and declared the beginning of the Human Way Era, while preserving both the Crystal Wall and Crystal Core factions.

• Atabia left Herodotus to besiege the Ancient God of Light while he explored the future, and Li Qing decided to secretly watch through Atabia’s perspective.
• Nokron said he would handle the universe’s affairs and appointed Sylvie and Elise as Divine Lords over matter and energy.
• Sylvie asked whether the Crystal Wall Universe should be destroyed, but Nokron rejected the idea and said the Crystal Wall and Crystal Core should both remain.
• Nokron announced across the universe that the Ancient God of Light had been defeated, ordered the warring factions to cease hostilities, and threatened execution for those who disobeyed.
• In the 7001st year of the Ancient Tree Calendar, the Ancient Tree Era ended and the universe entered the Human Way Era under Nokron’s rule.

After the war, Li Qing organized the universe’s reconstruction and worked with the Son of Heaven to create a new sun from the eternal God War. The God of Light remained trapped in the higher-dimensional battlefield, shining as the universe’s light.

• Sylvie and Sylvie helped reconcile the universe’s factions, while the defeated Heaven and Earth Ancient Gods returned to the Abyss World to recover.
• Li Qing planned to make the Abyss World the sole ascension realm and rename it the Heavenly Realm, as the Origin Ancient Tree and Origin Continent were gone.
• Li Qing summoned the Son of Heaven and asked him to project the God War’s blazing battlefield into every Myriad World as a sun.
• Li Qing and the Son of Heaven completed the multidimensional projection in less than ten years.
• The God of Light remained eternally imprisoned in the sun, where the endless battle made him the universe’s true light.

After the Ancient Tree vanished, Sylvie and Sylph began reshaping the Abyss World into Heaven Realm by draining its waters into a Heavenly River. Their plan left Aurora designated as Moon Goddess and the river project underway under strict safety demands.

• Sylvie proposed draining the stagnant Abyss waters to make Heaven Realm bright and comfortable for its future residents.
• Aurora warned that the Abyss Ocean was the source of evolutionary life, but Sylvie explained that the emptied T-shaped space could serve as a channel for the water.
• Sylvie and Sylph named the new river the Heavenly River and planned for it to nurture cellular life, support a naval force, and provide a route for ascension and troop deployment.
• Sylph proposed that Aurora become Moon Goddess and build a great moon above the Heavenly River.
• Sylph summoned Ancient Gods to build dams and the Heavenly River, warning them that a collapse could flood the Lower Realm and cause a Great Cosmic Tribulation.
