Chapter Summaries

Adam negotiated the Mage Legion’s entry into the Giant Spirit Realm, where Amut’s people faced dwindling living space, polluted energy, and the threat of the Demon Submerging Abyss. Amut agreed to cooperate but demanded resources and new worlds for his people.

• Amut accused Cong Zhen and the immortals of abandoning the giant beasts after Wanxiang’s deception, while Adam warned that the demon exits were merging.
• Adam summoned a fleet through the Magic Net, and the starships bombarded the demon exits as Patriao killed a Level Eight Demon Creature.
• Adam introduced himself as the Mage Legion’s regional commander, and Amut agreed to share intelligence after Adam promised the giant beasts would receive what they needed.
• Amut explained that the Giant Spirit Realm’s nine realms were shrinking as their leaders died, and that Chaos was struggling to purify the Demonic Qi sustaining their people.
• Amut cleared a small exit with a roar and told Adam the giant beasts needed resources and new worlds in exchange for letting the Mage Legion use their realm as a battlefield.

Adam negotiated with Amut over the Void Giant Beasts’ support and learned that Chaos was a Brain Cell of the True Demon. After Amut threatened to release the True Demon’s Left Arm, Adam claimed the mages would heal Chaos and insisted Cong Zhen seek Celestial Venerable Wanxiang’s opinion.

• Adam promised Amut survival resources and the option for the Void Giant Beasts to relocate to the Mage World after the war if they joined the mages.
• Amut made the giant beasts’ support conditional on the mages healing Chaos, and Cong Zhen explained that Chaos was a Brain Cell severed from the Great Heavenly Venerable.
• Cong Zhen urged the mages not to interfere, while Amut attacked her and threatened to release the True Demon’s Left Arm if Chaos died.
• After Amut and Cong Zhen ended their confrontation, Adam demanded compensation and declared that the mages would decide whether to heal Chaos.
• Cong Zhen warned Adam that Chaos was sensitive and asked the mages not to act rashly, at least for now.

Adam and the mages debated the danger of Chaos and received Laura True Spirit’s approval to act, then strengthened their alliance with the giant beasts and prepared to scout the Demon Submerging Abyss. As Adam began arranging Chaos’s treatment, Cong Zhen told him that the Celestial Venerable had agreed on the condition that she accompany the process.

• Adam, Aisha, Wendy, and Priscilla discussed Chaos, That One’s possible scheme, and the risk of war over the Immortal Civilization’s secrets.
• Laura True Spirit joined the meeting, endorsed Adam’s reasoning, and told the mages they could act without restraint.
• The mages built supply and habitat facilities for the giant beasts, and Neham removed the restriction Celestial Venerable Wanxiang had placed on Amut.
• Amut shared information, taught the mages how to resist Demonic Qi, and joined the preparations for scouting the Demon Submerging Abyss.
• The Legion sent scouting units through smaller exits while Adam coordinated defenses and arranged treatment for the comatose Chaos.
• Cong Zhen told Adam that the Celestial Venerable had approved the treatment on the condition that she accompany it.

Adam ordered Cong Zhen to follow his command after she defied the Celestial Venerable's orders, then joined Neham to investigate Chaos's condition. Their examination suggested the True Demon's Left Arm was trying to take control of Chaos, and Patriao discovered the Demonic Qi inside him was conscious.

• Adam told Cong Zhen that she had to obey his orders under the Wartime Regulations and ordered guards to kill her if she disobeyed again.
• Adam told Neham that Cong Zhen might be one of That One's believers, while Neham accepted Adam's authority as the True Spirits' spokesperson.
• Neham examined Chaos and explained that his body was rebelling against his consciousness, possibly because the Left Arm was trying to transform into a brain.
• Patriao put his arm into Chaos to study the Demonic Qi, then withdrew it after part of it became diseased.
• Patriao reported that Chaos's Demonic Qi was aggressive and conscious, and that it had spoken to him.

While Neham prepared to treat Chaos by separating his soul and body, the Left Arm’s rampage turned the Giant Spirit Realm into a prolonged battle. Adam coordinated the Mage Legion’s response as the exits multiplied, and the chapter ended with Neham announcing that Chaos’s treatment was ready to begin.

• Neham proposed curing Chaos by killing his deteriorated energy body, which would make Chaos fall from Level Nine.
• Neham sealed off the treatment site, and the Left Arm went berserk when it could no longer sense Chaos, unleashing Demonic Qi and beasts against the Giant Spirit Realm.
• The command headquarters withdrew contaminated Slave Legions from combat and sent the mages and their contracted allies to hold the line.
• Adam ordered the legions to clear the areas around the exits, rotate mages reinforcing the seals, deploy Void Giant Beasts, increase starship support, and speed up resurrection and recovery.
• Adam managed the battle in Overload State as the number of exits climbed and casualties mounted.
• Ten days later, Neham told Adam that Chaos’s Soul-Body Separation was ready, with an eighty percent chance of success, and warned that it could not be stopped once begun.

Adam’s forces struggled to contain the Demonic Qi and waited for Mathison’s reinforcements as the exits continued to multiply. After Thomas Hornby’s Legion was routed and a chain of exits fell, Amut and Patriao’s forces entered the battle, but the spreading threat formed a barrier that Cong Zhen began to identify.

• Neham said the connection behind the void could only be resolved through Soul-Body Separation and estimated the Legion could hold out for one month.
• Adam increased resource support for the Free Hyperdimensional Mage Legion, suspended Soul-Body Separation, and asked Mathison’s Legion to hurry to the battlefield.
• Seven exits fell after Thomas Hornby’s Legion was routed, and Adam ordered Amut’s and Patriao’s forces to stop the exits from merging.
• Demonic Beasts captured thirteen more exits, while crystallized Demonic Qi linked twenty exits into a barrier.
• Adam summoned Cong Zhen, who identified the barrier as a fusion variant of the Twelve Heavenly Gates Array and the Positive and Negative Four Symbols Formation.

Adam organized a dangerous attempt to send Amut and Patriao through the Demon Submerging Abyss barrier to break its formation from within. The mission began successfully, but afterward Neham ordered Thomas Hornby arrested and demanded an explanation.

• Cong Zhen explained three ways to break the formation, and Adam chose to send Amut and Patriao inside using Chaos and the Wanxiang Sphere.
• Adam promised Amut and Patriao that their peoples would become Mage Civilization’s important allies, and both agreed to undertake the mission.
• Cong Zhen outlined the plan: the Mage Legion’s Main Cannons would destabilize the barrier while the Wanxiang Sphere opened a gate through Chaos.
• Adam ordered a thousand Main Cannons to fire, and Neham carried Chaos into the barrier as the Wanxiang Sphere opened it for an instant.
• Amut and Patriao entered the formation and began crushing demons, while Neham emerged with a weakened Chaos and the Wanxiang Sphere returned to Cong Zhen.
• Neham ordered the Holy Tower Hyperdimensional Mages to seize Thomas Hornby and have him taken back to the Nine-Headed Dragon for an explanation.

Neham exposed Thomas Hornby for withholding resources and mishandling deployments, while Adam uncovered similar misconduct among the Free Mage Legions. After ten days of relative calm, the barrier shattered, and Amut warned that another Level Nine Demon Creature was about to take shape.

• Neham confronted Thomas Hornby over low deployment rates and stolen resurrection resources, then had the Night Watchmen take him into custody for imprisonment.
• Adam investigated the Free Mage Legions, recorded widespread misconduct, and saw Hornby's legion break apart as many of its Mages sought to join the Holy Tower.
• The Mages restored discipline and strengthened their assaults while the Demonic Beasts lacked reinforcements, but the lull lasted ten days as pressure mounted inside the barrier.
• The barrier shattered, and Amut emerged carrying the barely alive Patriao, warning Adam that another Level Nine Demon Creature was about to form.
• Adam sent a hundred high-ranking Hyperdimensional Mages into the Demon Submerging Abyss and arranged emergency treatment for Amut and Patriao.

Adam and Neham began the Soul-Body Separation to stop the left arm from becoming the brain, while the Mage Legion fought off a massive Demonic Beast assault. Neham blocked the left arm’s thumb at the cost of his collapsing Void Dragon form, and the legion moved to cover his advancement.

• Adam concluded that the left arm was prioritizing becoming the brain over destroying the Mage Legion, and he and Neham decided to stop it.
• Adam committed the legion’s remaining resources to the Soul-Body Separation, which would take seventeen hours, as Neham prepared to advance if necessary.
• The black sun exploded as the separation began, and the left arm commanded Demonic Beasts to swarm the entrance while the mages fought to hold them back.
• Two Level Nine Demonic Beasts appeared, and one transformed into a Black Hole that released the left arm’s thumb toward the starship fleet.
• Neham took his Void Dragon form and bit down on the thumb, halting it as his form began to collapse; Adam ordered the legion to provide full cover for Neham’s advancement.

Neham ascended to become a True Spirit Mage and used the Dark Realm to destroy the Demon forces and split the True Demon's Left Arm. After Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable demanded the arm, Neham refused, and a huge figure emerged to challenge him.

• Neham gathered his scattered forms and the fleet's power, then broke through to Level Nine and became a True Spirit Mage.
• Neham named the newly formed realm the Dark Realm, whose matter crushed the Demon Creature Legion and split the True Demon's Left Arm and the Demon Submerging Abyss.
• Neham shattered Chaos's body, drove Dark Realm Matter through the Demon Submerging Abyss, and forced the remaining half of the True Demon to flee.
• Neham seized the restless half of the left arm, but Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable appeared and demanded that he return it to the Immortal Realm.
• Neham stored the arm and refused Daoyuan's demand, and a massive figure tore through the void and asked Daoyuan if he wanted to fight.

Mathison and Neham attacked Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable’s projection when he tried to reclaim the True Demon’s Left Arm, forcing him to sacrifice himself so the Heaven-Turning Seal could escape. After the battle, Adam took a corner of the damaged seal and asked what Daoyuan meant by ascension.

• Mathison used World Refining to attack Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable, while Adam retreated with the fleet and the Seventh Holy Tower Expeditionary Force.
• Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable unleashed Great Sun’s Daylight, but Mathison refined and reflected the attack before closing in.
• Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable used the Heaven-Turning Seal to reverse the surrounding rules, but Mathison and Neham pressed their attack.
• Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable self-destructed to help the Heaven-Turning Seal escape; the seal got away with one corner broken off.
• The Seventh Holy Tower Expeditionary Force took over suppressing the Demon Submerging Abyss and the True Demon’s Left Arm, while Adam rested and examined the seal’s broken corner.
• Adam asked what Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable had meant by ascension.

Adam questioned Celestial Venerable Wanxiang about Daoyuan’s planned ascension and learned that Daoyuan believed he had reached the peak of the Immortal Dao. The mages remained suspicious of his intentions and prepared to locate the other half of the True Demon’s Left Arm and take the Demon Submerging Abyss back to the Mage World.

• Adam dismissed Cong Zhen’s demands and summoned Celestial Venerable Wanxiang to answer his questions.
• Wanxiang explained that Daoyuan planned to ascend to a higher-dimensional world and believed external things became shackles after one became a True Person.
• Wanxiang said a formal invitation for the ascension ceremony would be delivered to Shanti, then left with Cong Zhen without resolving ownership of the Heaven-Turning Seal’s corner or the True Demon’s Left Arm.
• Adam returned the Heaven-Turning Seal’s corner to Mathison, and the mages discussed whether Daoyuan’s ascension was a threat or a conspiracy.
• Neham said the legion needed to find the other half of the left arm and retrieve the Demon Submerging Abyss, while Mathison volunteered to give Chaos a new body.

Mathison transformed Chaos into an Origin Fire, and the mages captured the Left Arm after a month of fighting before returning to Shanti. Neham’s rise strengthened the Holy Tower Faction as campaigns against the other Demon Submerging Abysses began, while Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable dealt with the damaged Heaven-Turning Seal and learned that the mages were advancing on those regions.

• Mathison transformed Chaos into an Origin Fire, and Chaos explained that the Left Arm had plotted to become a brain, likely because Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable had tampered with Tai Chu Heavenly Venerable’s preparations.
• Neham and Mathison captured and sealed the Left Arm, and the Legion returned to Shanti within ten years using Neham’s Dark Realm to avoid the void’s suppression.
• Neham exposed Adam Legion mages who had violated Wartime Regulations and announced that he would establish the Eighth Void Holy Tower, strengthening the Holy Tower Faction.
• Mages gathered to campaign against the other three Demon Submerging Abysses after General Command made the region’s intelligence public.
• Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable ordered high-grade materials gathered to repair the damaged Heaven-Turning Seal, which had to be restored before his planned ascension.
• Fenghun used a Sixth Rank immortal to speak with Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable, promised help repairing the seal, and warned him that the mages were heading for the other three Demon Submerging Abysses.

Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable mobilized organized Demonic Qi forces while Cole Wallace’s expedition to Kara was destroyed by a Level Nine Demon Creature. The recovered footage and survivors gave General Command its first clear evidence of the threat, and Adam ordered Cole revived and brought to him.

• Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable gathered Fenghun’s Light Orbs, crushed spiritual resonance, and ordered hidden Demonic Beast forces to move toward the Demon Submerging Abyss.
• Cole Wallace led a legion toward Kara, where Sea God Grace pleaded for Mage World’s help against Demon Creatures and offered the Sea Race’s resources.
• A Level Nine Demon Creature split the Kara Plane apart with its greatsword, and Cole ordered his surviving mages to kill themselves after recognizing they could not win.
• General Command received word that the Kara expedition had been annihilated, but learned Cole and sixty percent of his legion had entered the Resurrection Passage and transmitted footage.
• Adam ordered the footage played and commanded that Cole be revived and brought to him.

After Cole reported that an organized, intelligent Demon Creature Legion had destroyed his forces, Adam and the True Spirits suspected Daoyuan and questioned the Immortal Civilization’s emissaries about the attackers. Wanxiang identified them as Outsider Demons, and Adam challenged her over the timing and purpose of Daoyuan’s proposed ascension.

• Cole recounted how a Level Nine Demon Creature shattered the Kara Plane and destroyed his ship, then withdrew from the war and returned to the Mage World.
• Adam, Wendy, and Neham concluded that Daoyuan was the likeliest source of the attacks and questioned his motives for seeking the Hypervoid Life’s limbs and proposing ascension.
• With Shanti’s security tightened, Adam showed Celestial Venerable Wanxiang and Cong Zhen the attack footage, and Wanxiang identified the creatures as Outsider Demons.
• Wanxiang explained that the powerful Outsider Demons had fought the Immortal Realm since Tai Chu Heavenly Venerable’s birth and were intelligent enough to rival Great Heavenly Venerables.
• Adam asked Wanxiang why Daoyuan had proposed ascension after the Mages arrived in the Disaster Zone, and she demanded to know what he meant.

Wanxiang investigated Daoyuan’s early seclusion while the mages prepared for a controlled demonic-beast assault across the Disaster Zone. The war reached its final stage as Wanxiang announced that Daoyuan would ascend in three years and reported the Immortal Realm’s array activation and the emergence of seven Level Nine Demon Creatures.

• After Adam left, Cong Zhen urged Wanxiang to return to the Immortal Realm, but Wanxiang summoned her agents to investigate Daoyuan’s early seclusion and possible plans to ascend.
• Shanti restored its former order while requiring Mage Legions to keep Emergency Mechanisms ready, and secretly sent mages to track the new Demon Creature Legion.
• Over five years, three Mage Legions were devastated by organized demonic beasts targeting the mages, prompting the command headquarters to concentrate Frontline forces in the Demon Submerging Abysses.
• Randolph, Mathison, and Neham led Mage Legions to different fronts while Adam and other Hyperdimensional Mages coordinated from Shanti under full Military Control.
• Twenty years later, ten True Spirit Mages had gathered in the Disaster Zone, and they prepared to crush the demonic-beast resistance and breach the Demon Submerging Abyss.
• Laura’s intelligence and Wanxiang’s invitation arrived together, announcing Daoyuan’s ascension in three years and reporting that seven Level Nine Demon Creatures had emerged while Tai Chu Heavenly Venerable activated the Immortal Realm’s Zhou Tian Star Array.

Laura followed two rebel Level Nine Immortals into the main Demon Submerging Abyss and discovered the hidden world of the Outsider Demons. Intelligence from Laura revealed that six Original Heavenly Demons were preparing a general offensive against the Immortal Realm as Daoyuan approached ascension.

• Laura reported that two Neutral Faction Level Nine Immortals had rebelled, undone the Zhou Tian Star Array, and devastated part of the Realm of Desire, prompting the frontline to intensify its assaults.
• Laura secretly followed the two Rebel Immortals into the main Demon Submerging Abyss, where they spent seven days and nights constructing and activating an enormous array.
• The Hypervoid Life’s torso attacked Laura, but she repeatedly revived through the Reincarnation Technique and followed the Rebel Immortals through a door before the torso’s will could stop them.
• The awakened torso unleashed chaos in the abyss, allowing several Level Nine Demon Creatures to escape before the Heavenly Venerables of the Outside World suppressed them.
• Wendy and Aisha relayed Laura’s discovery that the Heavenly Demon World hid in a moving Deformed Zone between the Disaster Zone and the normal void.
• Mayer explained that the two Rebel Immortals had alerted six Level Nine Critical Point Original Heavenly Demons to Daoyuan Heavenly Venerable’s imminent ascension, and Adam questioned how this related to the four limb Demon Submerging Abysses.

The Immortal Realm and the mages tried to understand Daoyuan’s rebellion, hidden power, and plans involving the True Demon Body. Adam proposed that Daoyuan might be executing a scheme tied to the Hypervoid Life, but the mages still lacked answers about his strength and motives.

• Wanxiang learned that Daoyuan had secretly reached the peak of the Heavenly Venerable realm 150,000 years ago and had planned his ascension for 100,000 years, with the True Demon Body central to his scheme.
• Wanxiang discovered that Daoyuan’s sect had returned her agents unharmed and that Miro and Hunyuan had vanished, though their Soul Tablets remained intact.
• The mages studied samples of Level Eight Heavenly Demons and found a way to restrain them after Laura defeated six Original Heavenly Demons.
• Adam explained that Illusion Manifestation let Heavenly Demons steal life force through contracts and eventually consume their partners’ souls and bodies.
• Adam proposed that the Original Heavenly Demons and Tai Chu Heavenly Venerable were linked to the Hypervoid Life, and that Daoyuan might be planning to revive it or seize its power.

Adam and the True Spirit Mages prepared to travel to the Immortal Realm to study Hypervoid Life and its soul, while anticipating a major upheaval there. After Cong Zhen delivered Celestial Venerable Wanxiang’s warning to stay out of the conflict, Adam and the others wondered whether Wanxiang had suffered a calamity.

• Mayer True Spirit said the mages would attend the appointment to study changes in Hypervoid Life and seek a specimen soul that might help create a Third Epoch life-form.
• Adam and the True Spirit Mages prepared candidates and fleet firepower, then set out for the Immortal Realm aboard seven Holy Tower-class Super Starships.
• One year into the journey, Cong Zhen confronted Adam and blamed the mages for disrupting peace in the Immortal Realm; Adam dismissed her accusations and suppressed her Spiritual Qi when she lashed out.
• Cong Zhen told Adam that Celestial Venerable Wanxiang expected an earth-shaking event and hoped the mages would avoid the conflict, promising an explanation afterward.
• Aisha and Wendy discussed Wanxiang’s unusual warning, and Adam wondered whether she had suffered a calamity and sent them her last words.

Wanxiang confronted the Great Heavenly Venerable as Daoyuan and the Six Heavenly Venerables took control of the Immortal Realm and prepared their Great Undertaking. Two years later, the mage fleet reached the Zhou Tian Star Array, where Fenghun welcomed Randolph and invited the mages to await Daoyuan’s ascension.

• Wanxiang entered the Tai Chu Immortal Palace to demand an answer from the Great Heavenly Venerable about Daoyuan’s plans.
• Daoyuan and the Six Heavenly Venerables agreed the seals of the Realm of Desire, Realm of Form, and Demon Submerging Abyss could be lifted, then began taking over the Immortal Realm’s authority.
• The mages continued their advance while reserving energy to summon Prometheus, and grew suspicious of the Zhou Tian Star Array’s formation.
• Half a year later, Fenghun opened a gateway in the Zhou Tian Star Array and greeted the arriving mage fleet.
• Randolph met Fenghun, asked when Daoyuan would ascend, and was invited inside to wait for the ceremony.
