Chapter Summaries

Mao Xiao Miao activated the next stage of Cheng Han’s experiment, using the Petrified Forest to curse and weaken the Lord of Divine Vines. The trap succeeded, and the furious deity appeared above the forest as Mao Xiao Miao braced for her first direct encounter with a powerful deity.

• Mao Xiao Miao hid underground while several deities, including the Giant Spirit Mountain God and God General Wu Jing, observed the Petrified Forest, but Cheng Han told her to continue the experiment without worry.
• The Giant Spirit Mountain God recognized that the Gray White Plague and the plants had formed a delicate Law Domain, while the forest expanded naturally over the next two days.
• Mao Xiao Miao plucked Cheng Han’s Law Projection String, sending waves of vine-monster curses across the forest to influence the World Will and weaken the Lord of Divine Vines.
• The Giant Spirit Mountain God realized the curses were designed to lure the Lord of Divine Vines into destroying the forest, where its master could confront it.
• After Mao Xiao Miao intensified the curse, the furious Lord of Divine Vines appeared as a vast black cloud above the Petrified Forest, and she nervously welcomed the bait’s arrival.

Mao Xiao Miao used the petrification domain and Cheng Han’s secret techniques to defeat the Thorn God Master after it attacked the Petrified Forest and failed to escape. The Thorn God Master lost its ability to resist, leaving behind Divine Remains as the Thorn Vine Realm’s winds sounded an elegy.

• The Thorn God Master blanketed the Petrified Forest with Black Cloud, but the petrification domain weakened its attack and spread the damage among the trees.
• Mao Xiao Miao played the Law Projection String, unleashing a weakened Law Tide that let the forest’s Gray Lines erode and bind the Thorn God Master.
• The Thorn God Master broke many of the Gray Lines and tried to flee, but the Inverted Universe secret technique reversed its sense of direction and sent it crashing into the ground.
• Mao Xiao Miao used Myriad Threads to bind and drag the weakened Thorn God Master down, leaving it unable to resist the petrification domain.
• The Thorn God Master became a thousand-meter-tall black stone mountain, and the Thorn Vine Realm’s winds began to mourn its death.

Cheng Han discovered an enormous Calamity Insect Swarm advancing on the Nanli Realm Cluster and learned that the Great Sand Ant, now the World Will of the Bewildering Sand Realm, felt threatened by a hidden enemy. After killing a Divine Worm avatar and answering the God Generals’ inquiry, he revealed that the swarm might be backed by the “Eleventh Calamity.”

• Cheng Han saw a swarm of over one hundred billion insects heading toward the Nanli Realm Cluster and judged that it could not be defended.
• Cheng Han spoke with the Great Sand Ant, promised to protect it, and warned that its unseen enemy would notice if it learned the enemy’s identity.
• Cheng Han reached the devastated Senluo Realm and used his Void Boundary Streamer Needle to kill a hidden Void Divine Dragonfly.
• The Light Shuttle God General and Star Evolution God General followed Cheng Han’s clues and used a Mirage World Divine Lamp to ask whether the swarm had an ultimate powerhouse behind it.
• Cheng Han sent a Silver Needle with the answer that the hidden power was likely the “Eleventh Calamity.”

Cheng Han convinced Light Shuttle God General and Star Evolution God General that the Great Sand Ant’s Calamity Eye had detected the Eleventh Calamity, prompting them to report the threat to the Heavenly Killing God Monarch. As the swarm army neared the Bewildering Sand Realm, Cheng Han worried that its fall would destroy Sand Lady and leave him with no way to preserve her strength.

• Light Shuttle God General and Star Evolution God General reacted with alarm when Cheng Han warned them that the Eleventh Calamity had appeared.
• Cheng Han explained Heavenly Heart Induction and showed how he had nurtured the Great Sand Ant into a World Will with a Calamity Eye that sensed danger in a nearby Small World.
• The God Generals accepted that the Eleventh Calamity might be behind the approaching swarm and speculated that it was hiding among the Small Worlds.
• Light Shuttle God General and Star Evolution God General left to report the suspected Eleventh Calamity to the Heavenly Killing God Monarch.
• Cheng Han saw that the swarm would reach the Bewildering Sand Realm in about a week and worried that losing the realm would destroy Sand Lady or force him to relocate her at the cost of most of her power.

Sand Lady’s dream led Cheng Han to suspect that the Eleventh Calamity was hiding in the Nanyuan Realm Cluster, while a sandstorm destroyed more than 120,000 Calamity Tadpoles. Cheng Han alerted his allies, and the chapter ended with the Star Evolution God General and Light Shuttle God General wondering whether their meeting marked the battle’s coming Breaking Point.

• A sandstorm in the Bewildering Sand Realm trapped and killed more than 120,000 Calamity Tadpoles, which the Bewildering Sand Vines devoured.
• Sand Lady told Cheng Han about her ominous dream of snow, a broad river, and danger lurking beneath its ice floes.
• Cheng Han connected Sand Lady’s dream to the Nanyuan Realm Cluster and concluded that the Eleventh Calamity was likely hiding there.
• Cheng Han said he would contact helpers and have them prepare to locate the enemy.
• The Star Evolution God General told the Light Shuttle God General that the Night Emperor had predicted the battle’s Breaking Point was approaching, and they speculated that their meeting might be connected.

Star Evolution God General and Light Shuttle God General received Lord God's warning that the Eleventh Calamity might be concealed in a Small World, then learned he was seeking a more precise location. In the Bewildering Sand Realm, Cheng Han began a costly secret technique to strengthen the Great Sand Ant's Calamity Eye, and Star Evolution God General sensed Light Shuttle's Fate Star Sign shift again as the divine flame ignited.

• Star Evolution God General deduced that Light Shuttle God General's Fate Star Sign had changed, giving him a chance to survive and even bear the potential of a God Monarch.
• The two God Generals received Lord God's message that the Eleventh Calamity might be hiding in a Small World and suspected the swarm army was a diversion to conceal its birth.
• Lord God sent a second message saying he was trying to pinpoint the Eleventh Calamity's location and expected results in two days, so the God Generals reported the matter to the Heavenly Killing God Monarch.
• Cheng Han warned the Great Sand Ant that enhancing its Calamity Eye would consume its strength and leave it asleep for at least ten years, and the ant agreed to proceed to protect its homeland.
• Cheng Han used Divine Remains from Thorn God Master to ignite the Great Sand Ant's divine flame and begin tempering its Calamity Eye.
• After leaving the Divine Hall, Star Evolution God General deduced that Light Shuttle God General's Fate Star Sign had shifted again at the moment Cheng Han ignited the flame.

Cheng Han guided the Great Sand Ant through divine-fire soul tempering, while the Star Evolution God General discovered the Bewildering Sand Vine’s vast network and began to infer Lord God’s plans for the desert. The chapter ended with the God General realizing that the vines might mutate as part of Lord God’s next experiment.

• Cheng Han explained that divine fire could temper the Great Sand Ant’s soul and raise its potential, and the Great Sand Ant agreed to try.
• The Great Sand Ant was scorched by the divine fire, then used the secret art as green light repeatedly restored its body against the flames.
• The Star Evolution God General discovered that Bewildering Sand Vine filaments covered the realm and found that even his time-control secret art could not easily eliminate them.
• The Star Evolution God General watched Green Basket soldiers discuss how the desert decomposed waste and heard them speculate that its invisible threads might mutate.
• The Star Evolution God General realized that the soldiers’ talk of mutation hinted at Lord God’s next plan for the desert experiment.

Star Evolution God General concluded that Lord God sought to preserve the Bewildering Sand Realm, and the Bewildering Sand Vine spread spores across the desert while the Great Sand Ant endured Divine Fire Soul Tempering. After the ant fell into a long sleep, Cheng Han saw its Calamity Eye dream reveal an Ice Sea and an unexplained black shadow, but no clear location for the Eleventh Calamity.

• Star Evolution God General identified the Bewildering Sand Vine as the desert’s Decomposer and reported his deductions to Heavenly Killing God Monarch, who considered trusting Lord God and urged the Star Emperor to prepare a decisive battle in the Nanli Realm Cluster.
• An Astral Anomaly appeared as Bewildering Sand Vines spread across the desert and released a vast Gray Mist of spores.
• Cheng Han watched the Great Sand Ant survive Divine Fire Soul Tempering with help from the Bewildering Sand Vine, though its body shrank and it fell into a long sleep.
• Cheng Han used a Halo Screen to observe the Great Sand Ant’s enhanced Calamity Eye dream, which showed the ant on an Ice Sea but concealed the location among many possible worlds.
• The Great Sand Ant drowned in the dream, and Cheng Han glimpsed a black shadow in the deep water just before the image vanished.

Cheng Han reinterpreted the Great Sand Ant’s dream as a symbolic, distorted warning rather than a literal vision of an Ice Sea. By comparing its details with the Frost South Realm Cluster, he concluded that the Eleventh Calamity was most likely hiding there.

• Cheng Han buried the sleeping Great Sand Ant beneath protective sand, then compared Ice Seas across Small Worlds and narrowed the possibilities to thirteen.
• Cheng Han reconsidered the dream after Mao Xiao Miao shared images of the Blue Lake Realm’s Mirage Lakes, realizing that the dream’s scenery could be symbolic and deceptive.
• Cheng Han deduced that the dream’s Ice Sea represented a realm cluster, its large floating ice represented Small Worlds, and its shattered ice was interference from the Eleventh Calamity.
• Cheng Han ruled out the Nanyuan Realm Cluster and compared the dream’s twenty-six large ice floes with the twenty-six Small Worlds in the Frost South Realm Cluster.
• Cheng Han connected the dream’s falling snow to the Frost South Realm Cluster’s Cold Qi Meteors and concluded that the Eleventh Calamity was most likely hiding there.

Lord God corrected his prediction and used a dream to convince the Star Evolution God General and Light Shuttle God General that the Eleventh Calamity was hiding in the Frost South Realm Cluster. After hearing Lord God's deductions, the Heavenly Killing God Monarch ordered the two God Generals to remain with him as he prepared to act.

• Lord God sent the God Generals a snowflake containing a dream, but Star Evolution's attempt to deduce its meaning nearly damaged his Divine Imprint.
• Lord God explained that the dream's undercurrent and shattered ice pointed to a Small World in the Frost South Realm Cluster whose destruction could trigger a chain reaction and expose the Eleventh Calamity.
• The Star Evolution God General and Light Shuttle God General were impressed by Lord God's reasoning and brought his findings to the Heavenly Killing God Monarch.
• The Heavenly Killing God Monarch reacted angrily to the corrected report, then ordered both God Generals to stay with him at all times.

Cheng Han dreamed that a shadow swallowed him, then learned from Eternal Hunger that the Myriad Heavens Race’s God Emperors had reached the Frozen Earth Realm. He watched as the Star Emperor’s Reaching Heaven Star River flooded and shattered the Small World, leaving the Divine War underway.

• Cheng Han dreamed that a shadow in an icy river swallowed him and took the form of his own face before he woke.
• Eternal Hunger told Cheng Han that powerful Myriad Heavens Race forces were heading to the target area, and Cheng Han asked it to show him the coming Divine War.
• Eternal Hunger used a saliva Light Screen to show the Frozen Earth Realm surrounded by the Reaching Heaven Star River and revealed the strange Tidal Zones around it.
• The Star Emperor unleashed the Reaching Heaven Star River, creating a colossal whirlpool that submerged the Frozen Earth Realm.
• The Giant Waves shattered the Frozen Earth Realm and flooded it, leaving Cheng Han stunned by the God Emperor’s power.

Cheng Han watched the Star Emperor use the Frozen Earth Realm to unleash a void-energy trap and open a passage to the Eleventh Calamity's hidden nest. The God Emperors ambushed and gravely wounded the Eleventh Calamity, while Eternal Hunger seized a bite before the battle continued.

• Cheng Han realized the Star Emperor had destroyed the Frozen Earth Realm to create an energy depression and draw destructive void energy toward the Eleventh Calamity's hiding place.
• The void energy detonated, erasing the Frozen Earth Realm and opening a passage; the Gluttonous Big Shot's Light Screen then failed as the God Emperors entered the battle.
• The Star Emperor's forces found the Eleventh Calamity fleeing its collapsing nest and caught it in Starry River Water.
• The Illusion Emperor concealed the God Emperors' approach, allowing five God Emperors to strike the Eleventh Calamity and leave it gravely wounded.
• Eternal Hunger bit a chunk from the Eleventh Calamity's tail and escaped before Starry River Water engulfed the worm and the God Emperors attacked again.

Cheng Han received a scale from the Eleventh Calamity, discovered it bore Eternal Divine Markings, and prepared to study it in seclusion after asking the Gluttonous Big Shot to guard the Great Sand Ant. Meanwhile, Rong Huang convened the Supreme Gods in the Radiant God Domain and demanded that the other races contribute to the fight against the Epoch Calamity, prompting an open challenge.

• The Gluttonous Big Shot returned from the battlefield, praised Cheng Han, and gave him a scale from the Eleventh Calamity after erasing its dangerous aura.
• Cheng Han used the Eye of Omniscience to discover that the scale bore Eternal Divine Markings that could help him condense Divine Seals.
• Cheng Han asked the Gluttonous Big Shot to protect the Great Sand Ant, then left to find a secluded place for cultivation.
• Rong Huang summoned the Supreme Gods to the Radiant God Domain and threatened those who had refused to attend.
• Rong Huang announced that the Myriad Heavens Race had slain two Calamities and called on the other races to contribute to the coming struggle.
• An unnamed Supreme God challenged Rong Huang, claiming the Myriad Heavens Race had killed only the two weakest Calamities and had no right to command the others.

At the Divine Council, the Banyan Emperor used the Myriad Heavens Race’s ability to detect Calamities to rally hundreds of races into an alliance, then intimidated the assembly with a show of force that left the Lion Mane Race isolated. Meanwhile, Cheng Han secluded himself in the Southern Rain World to cultivate, but his study was interrupted when the World Stone from the Celestial God Star Sea suddenly showed signs of activity.

• The Banyan Emperor revealed that the Myriad Heavens Race could detect hidden Calamities and secured the support of more than two hundred races for an alliance against the Epoch Calamity.
• The Banyan Emperor proposed a Myriad Races Allied Army to purge the Calamity Insect Swarms and declared that any race refusing to participate in the Divine Council would become its enemy.
• The Banyan Emperor destroyed more than a hundred Radiant Divine Thrones to demonstrate his power, then ended the council and arranged to contact races privately, leaving the Lionheart Emperor concerned that the Lion Mane Race had been excluded.
• The Lionheart Emperor and the other Lion Mane Race emperors suspected that the Myriad Heavens Race was preparing a racial war under the guise of the allied army.
• Cheng Han secluded himself in the Southern Rain World to analyze the Eleventh Calamity’s scale and advance toward the Divine Throne.
• Cheng Han learned that the Myriad Heavens Race had launched an allied siege against the Red Eye Race, then sensed that the World Stone left by the Celestial God Star Sea had become active.

Cheng Han learned from the World Stone that seven Eternal Celestial Gods had sacrificed themselves to empower the Twelfth Calamity, leading to the destruction of the Celestial God Star Sea, though the motive remained unknown. After half a year of secluded cultivation in the Southern Rain World, his growing Divine Domain petrified a curious White Porpoise named Blue Spot.

• The World Stone awakened when Cheng Han discussed reaching a Divine Throne and promised to create a Micro Star Sea to extend its life.
• The World Stone revealed that seven Eternal Celestial Gods sacrificed themselves to the Twelfth Calamity, which then devoured more Deities and destroyed the Celestial God Star Sea.
• The World Stone showed Cheng Han visions confirming its account, but it could not explain why the Eternal Celestial Gods had acted or whether their motives were connected to the recent Racial Wars.
• Cheng Han thanked the World Stone, promised to create its Micro Star Sea after condensing a Divine Seal, and resumed meditation as the stone fell dormant.
• Half a year later, Blue Spot ignored its kin's warnings and swam toward Cheng Han's island in the Southern Rain World.
• Blue Spot entered Cheng Han's Divine Domain, turned to stone, and sank as Cheng Han's voice warned it not to trespass.

Cheng Han controlled the Divine Domain on God Threshold Island while pursuing a Divine Seal, and he deduced that an impending war between the Wrath Hoof Race and the Shining Star Race threatened the White Porpoise Race. Months later, Blue Spot led survivors of the White Wave Tribe through the island’s hidden barrier, where they found it transformed into a vast, thriving land.

• Cheng Han petrified Blue Spot with Stone Spirit Laws, then discovered that the Song of the Ocean was likely a Collective Consciousness warning the White Porpoise Race about a coming racial war.
• Cheng Han’s Divine Domain expanded God Threshold Island, and Blue Spot emerged from petrification with enhanced water powers and escaped.
• After three months of battles and hardship, Blue Spot led dozens of White Porpoises toward the mysterious island, killing three who tried to flee.
• Blue Spot and the survivors endured a growing sense of danger until they crossed an invisible barrier and saw the island appear.
• Blue Spot found the island transformed into a lush expanse of roughly five thousand square kilometers with five towering peaks.

Cheng Han helped Blue Spot lead the White Porpoise resistance against the Shining Star Race, whose Deity crushed their forces but was deterred by the Stone Sword’s petrifying power. The resistance suffered heavy losses, Blue Spot survived, and Cheng Han judged that races without a Deity remained vulnerable.

• Blue Spot led the White Porpoises to God Threshold Island, where Cheng Han learned that the Shining Star Race had slaughtered their tribe and decided to help them.
• Cheng Han contacted the Collective Consciousness, and over the next two months Blue Spot and his clansmen passed the island’s trial, learned Stone Spirit Secret Arts, and formed a resistance army.
• Blue Spot drew the Stone Sword and used its evolved Gray White Plague to attack Shining Star forces, earning the White Porpoise Race’s trust and joining forces with the Wrath Hoof Race.
• The Shining Star Deity attacked Blue Spot’s army and shattered the Stone Sword, but its petrifying power destroyed the Deity’s Shining Spirit Bodies and made the Deity retreat.
• Cheng Han watched the battle as the resistance lost more than sixty percent of its forces, the Collective Consciousness weakened, and Blue Spot escaped severely injured.

Blue Spot’s resistance against the Shining Star Race escalated when the race deployed toxic War Stele Sky Fortresses that killed his kin, prompting him to draw on World Power and attack. As three Deities confronted him, Cheng Han completed and named the Stone Plague Divine Imprint, finally breaching the God Threshold.

• Blue Spot repeatedly attacked Shining Star Race bases, forcing the race to abandon most of its ocean territory and retreat into fortified strongholds.
• Two Wrath Hoof Race War Generals speculated that Cheng Han was using Blue Spot to target the Shining Star Race Deity through a God Devouring Art.
• The Shining Star Race deployed War Stele Sky Fortresses that spread deadly toxin near White Porpoise settlements, killing Blue Spot’s kin despite his warning them to flee.
• Blue Spot burned his soul, received authority over World Power from the dying Collective Consciousness, and charged the steles with Stone Sword as three Shining Star Race Deities attacked him.
• Cheng Han completed the Divine Imprint in his Divine Sea, named it the Stone Plague Divine Imprint, and breached the God Threshold.

Cheng Han became a Deity and established God Threshold Island as his Divine Domain while Blue Spot died fighting the Shining Star Race. Cheng Han sent Stone Swords to destroy the enemy’s fortresses and defeat three Deities, leaving their Stone Statues in his hands.

• Blue Spot’s Stone Sword failed to stop the Shining Star Race Deities’ concealed attacks, and Blue Spot and the Stone Sword were destroyed.
• Cheng Han’s Stone Plague Divine Imprint formed, expanding God Threshold Island into a Divine Domain as his Divine Body began to gestate.
• Cheng Han mourned Blue Spot, created another Stone Sword, and sent it toward the Shining Star Race to avenge the White Porpoise Race.
• The Stone Sword struck the three giant Stone Tablet fortresses, petrifying their defenses and killing the living things inside.
• The three Deities fled using Shining Spirit Bodies, but the Stone Plague spread among them and weakened their Divine Power.
• Cheng Han’s Stone Swords turned all three Deities into Stone Statues, and he revealed that he had deliberately sowed suspicion among them before killing them.

Cheng Han used Omniscience Laws to crack the divine essence of captured god clones, uncovering secrets and expanding God Threshold Island. Three days later, the Stone Sword attacked the Shining Star fleet with a Shining Star secret art, leaving both races’ deities baffled by its apparent connection to their own faction.

• Cheng Han used Omniscience Laws to find flaws in the first Fragment of Divine Essence and devised eleven secret arts to counter its god.
• Cheng Han absorbed the divine essence fragments, expanding God Threshold Island by four percent, and concluded the war could help him grow stronger.
• The Wrath Hoof Race launched a large-scale attack on the Shining Star Race above the freshwater ocean, where their fleets fought through a storm.
• The Stone Sword appeared and transformed into tens of thousands of copies, prompting the Wrath Hoof commander to suspect a trap and the Shining Star deities to mistake it for one of their own.
• The Shining Star deities attacked the sword shadows with a Seven-Finger Gauntlet and blades of blue flame while the Bullhead Deity watched in confusion.
