Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: The Void Realm Creation War of Long Ago

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu reflects on the terrifying power of Tribulation, whose aura nearly destroyed his soul during his breakthrough. He realizes that the being who appeared may have been only an avatar—or something even less—and fears what would happen if Tribulation’s true body descended.
• Hun explains the origins of the Void Realm and the ancient conflict between himself, Tribulation, and Dao.
• The Void Realm was accidentally created when the three powerful beings fought. They initially stopped battling and settled within the newly formed domain.
• Once consciousness began emerging in the Void Realm, they recognized that it could support the growth and reproduction of entire races. Each wanted to monopolize it and use descendants to increase their own strength.
• Their renewed struggle became a true war of annihilation, later known as the Void Realm Creation War. The battle greatly expanded the Void Realm, absorbed numerous smaller domains, and destroyed many others.
• After the war, Hun, Tribulation, and Dao established their respective races and claimed the three greatest domains:
  • Hun: The Eternal Domain, home of the Chaos Void God Clan
  • Tribulation: The Heavenly Tribulation Domain, home of the Annihilation Devil Race
  • Dao: The Immortal Realm, home of his previously unknown race
• To settle their conflict, the three agreed to hold a Forbidden God War every ten thousand years. After something happened to all three during the cycle before the last, their descendants began fighting in their place.
• In the most recent cycle, the Chaos Void God Clan was defeated, and the Eternal Domain was destroyed, leaving the clan close to extinction.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu gains a broader understanding of the Void Realm’s history and the origins of its major races. Although he has reached the Lord God Realm—technically only the False Lord God Realm in Hun and Tribulation’s eyes—he recognizes that he remains vastly weaker than Tribulation and the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao.
• Jiang Liu becomes increasingly wary of Tribulation, understanding that even a partial manifestation of his power could threaten the entire Void Realm.
• Hun is revealed to be only a remnant of consciousness nearing dissipation, yet he retains immense power and knowledge. He acts as Jiang Liu’s protector and historian.
• Tribulation is established as an almost unimaginably powerful enemy capable of causing a realm-wide calamity before fully appearing.
• Dao is introduced as the third ancient powerhouse and founder of the race residing in the Immortal Realm, though his identity and current condition remain mysterious.
• The Chaos Void God Clan’s near-destruction explains Hun’s weakened and possibly dying state and the clan’s desperate position.

Significant Themes

• Origins and creation through destruction: The Void Realm was born from conflict, and its expansion resulted from a war that both created and destroyed countless domains.
• Power and inheritance: The ancient beings sought to strengthen themselves through descendants, making entire races instruments in their struggle for supremacy.
• Decline of ancient powers: Hun’s fading consciousness and the disappearance or withdrawal of the three founders show how the old age is ending, while their descendants inherit the conflict.
• The limits of individual strength: Jiang Liu’s rapid advancement is impressive, but he realizes it is insignificant beside the ancient giants and the Heavenly Dao.
• Cycles of conflict: The recurring Forbidden God Wars demonstrate how grudges and power struggles persist across generations.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu questions Hun about Tribulation, Dao, and the mysterious Dun, but Hun does not elaborate on Dun.
• Hun instead recounts the history of his conflict with Tribulation and Dao, giving Jiang Liu the first coherent account of the Void Realm’s creation and the Forbidden God Wars.
• Hun’s past protection enabled Jiang Liu to cultivate safely and break through, creating a bond in which Hun serves as both guardian and guide.
• Jiang Liu contrasts the help he received from Hun and the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao with the lethal hostility of Tribulation, who nearly destroyed him during his breakthrough.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu learns the true origins of the Chaos Void God Clan and the Annihilation Devil Race. Their conflict is not one-sided: both races are bound to obey the supreme will of their respective Main Gods and destroy the opposing race.
• He notices that the relationship between Tribulation and the Annihilation Devil Race seems purely exploitative, unlike the more harmonious inheritance relationship between Hun and the Chaos Void God Clan.
• Hun reveals that Dao’s descendants are the Immortal Race, who live in the Immortal Realm. This makes Jiang Liu wonder whether they are connected to the Immortal Realm and cultivators he once knew.
• Jiang Liu concludes that the cultivation systems of the Void Realm originated from the incomplete methods of the Chaos Void God Clan and Annihilation Devil Race. Only true inheritors can cultivate the complete versions and advance properly into the True Lord God Realm.
• He realizes that even his own use of the Chaos Void Law Source Power remains incomplete, explaining why he struggled under Hun’s pressure and why his inner demon surfaced.
• Hun explains that the Chaos Void God Clan urgently needs a main combatant for the next cycle of the Forbidden God War. Since this cycle had no suitable champion, Dun selected Jiang Liu and even created the Data Panel to match his cultivation path.
• Hun begins transferring his final inheritance to Jiang Liu. The inheritance is said to contain the truth about Hun, Dun, Tribulation, Dao, their origins, their ancient battles, Hun’s death, and Dun’s disappearance.
• A radiant sphere forms beside Hun, drawing out the last essence of his Divine Body. As the sphere reaches its peak, Hun’s massive body shatters.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu gains a much deeper understanding of the ancient conflict and the limits of his own inherited power. He becomes increasingly curious about Dao, the Immortal Race, and his own origins.
• He also accepts that becoming the Chaos Void God Clan’s main combatant is not accidental; Dun deliberately shaped Jiang Liu’s cultivation and selected him for the coming Forbidden God War.
• Hun is revealed to be a fallen remnant preserving crucial secrets. Despite his weakened state, he prepares to pass on his final inheritance and entrust Jiang Liu with the future of the God Clan.
• Dun remains mysterious, but his influence becomes clearer: he created the Data Panel, chose Jiang Liu, and may still be somewhere within the Void Realm.
• Tribulation and Dao are linked to Hun through an ancient conflict whose true causes and consequences remain hidden until Jiang Liu receives the inheritance.

Significant Themes

• Inheritance and legitimacy: True power comes not merely from learning a technique but from receiving its genuine inheritance.
• Predestination and selection: Jiang Liu’s path has been deliberately arranged by Dun, raising questions about free will and whether Jiang Liu is being used.
• Ancient racial conflict: The Forbidden God War is part of a vast struggle between the forces and inheritors of Hun, Tribulation, and Dao.
• Hidden origins: The chapter emphasizes that the identities, relationships, and deaths of the ancient Main Gods conceal the truth about Jiang Liu’s own existence.
• Incomplete power and transformation: Jiang Liu is powerful but has not yet fully inherited the Chaos Void God Clan’s legacy, while Hun sacrifices his remaining essence to complete the transfer.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu and Hun: Hun explains the origins of the major races, warns Jiang Liu about his incomplete inheritance, and prepares to pass on his final secrets. Jiang Liu observes Hun’s transformation with confusion and anticipation.
• Hun and Dun: Their relationship is not yet explained, but Hun implies that the inheritance will reveal why they fought, how they were connected, and why Dun chose Jiang Liu.
• Hun, Tribulation, and Dao: Their ancient conflict is presented as the central mystery behind the cycles of war, the creation of the descendant races, and Hun’s eventual fall.

Chapter Summary:

A Naturally Born Divine Being, Hun-Dun

Key Plot Points and Events

• Hun’s Divine Body explodes and transforms into a ball of light that envelops Jiang Liu.
• The light purifies Jiang Liu’s Divine Body, expelling streams of filth and making him feel lighter.
• Jiang Liu’s body begins expanding uncontrollably, apparently taking on the enormous form of Hun’s Divine Body.
• He activates the Chaos Void Sutra, successfully stopping the expansion, but this causes a dangerous conflict between his own power and Hun’s inheritance.
• Jiang Liu deliberately stops using the sutra. Although he fears losing control of his body, he chooses to preserve Hun’s inheritance because it may be his only chance to reach the true Lord God Realm.
• As the inheritance continues, Jiang Liu’s body rises through the void, and he witnesses visions of Hun’s origin.
• In an utterly dark void, colored light gathers black starstones into a massive sphere. Life-and-death auras form eyes, and the sphere eventually develops into Hun’s Primordial Divine Body.
• Jiang Liu notices that the body contains another unfamiliar aura, suggesting that Dun may have been present within Hun from the beginning.
• He begins to suspect that Hun and Dun were originally one being—Hun-Dun—but later split apart for an unknown reason.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: Demonstrates restraint and long-term judgment by abandoning his attempt to control the inheritance, despite the danger of becoming physically uncontrollable. His priority is reaching the true Lord God Realm and preserving the rare inheritance.
• Hun: His final inheritance continues to reshape Jiang Liu and reveals the mysterious process of his own birth.
• Dun/Hun-Dun: The chapter deepens the mystery surrounding Dun, implying that Dun may not have been a separate being originally, but rather an aspect or presence contained within Hun.

Significant Themes

• Sacrifice for transcendence: Jiang Liu must risk his body and future control to obtain power capable of breaking through to a higher realm.
• Inheritance and destiny: Hun’s final legacy may determine Jiang Liu’s ultimate strength and the future of the Chaos Void God Clan.
• Identity and duality: The vision suggests that Hun and Dun may have once been a single entity, raising questions about division, individuality, and the nature of Hun-Dun.
• Creation from chaos: Hun’s birth from darkness, starstones, and life-and-death forces presents divine existence as something naturally formed from the void.

Character Interactions

• There is no direct dialogue between Jiang Liu and Hun in the chapter. Their interaction occurs through Hun’s inheritance, which transforms Jiang Liu and exposes him to visions of Hun’s origins.
• Jiang Liu also indirectly engages with Dun’s mystery by examining the aura within Hun’s primordial body and forming theories about their shared origin.

Chapter Summary: “Calamity, Born from Resentment”

Key Plot Points and Events

• While examining Hun’s Divine Body, Jiang Liu detects another powerful aura within it. He realizes this must be Dun, or at least a remnant connected to him.
• Jiang Liu theorizes that Chaos may originally have been a single being who later split into Hun and Dun. Together, they may have possessed enough strength to oppose Jie and Dao.
• The previous Forbidden God War caused Hun’s destruction and forced him to preserve his Divine Body and consciousness within the Eternal Domain. Dun escaped, but later became weaker after leaving Hun’s body.
• Jiang Liu concludes that Dun created the Data Panel and carefully manipulated events to make Jiang Liu accept the Chaos Void God Clan’s legacy. Dun selected Jiang because of his unusual divine soul and may have learned everything about him by reading his memories.
• Dun’s continued absence may serve as a deterrent against Jie. As long as Dun remains alive, Jie and the Void Realm’s Heavenly Dao would hesitate to attack Jiang Liu directly.
• The visions confirm most of Jiang Liu’s deductions, but they do not explain why Hun and Dun split apart or why they became enemies.
• Dun cannot return to Hun’s body because a forbidden curse would destroy both his body and divine soul. This forced him to nurture Jiang Liu as Hun’s successor.
• Hun’s consciousness was close to disappearing permanently, meaning Jiang Liu received the inheritance just in time.
• The chapter reveals Jie’s origin: he was born from the resentment accumulated throughout the Void Realm.
• Jie’s purpose was to assimilate all living beings. Chaos opposed him to protect the races already inhabiting the Void, beginning an ancient conflict that has continued ever since.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: Becomes increasingly perceptive and reconstructs the history of Chaos, Hun, Dun, Jie, and Dao through deduction. He also recognizes that much of his own path may have been deliberately planned by Dun.
• Hun: Is revealed to be the remaining half of Chaos and the guardian of the clan’s final inheritance. His consciousness is nearing extinction, making Jiang Liu’s arrival crucial.
• Dun: Emerges as a secretive planner who sacrificed or manipulated much of his existence to preserve the Chaos Void God Clan. His forbidden curse prevents him from reclaiming Hun’s inheritance.
• Jie: Is revealed not merely as an enemy but as a calamity born from the Void’s collective resentment. His goal is universal assimilation.
• Chaos: Is portrayed as an ancient protector who fought Jie to defend the Void’s existing life-forms.

Significant Themes

• Inheritance and survival: The Chaos Void God Clan’s future depends on Jiang Liu carrying on Hun and Dun’s legacy.
• Manipulation versus destiny: Jiang Liu questions whether his achievements and choices were truly his own or part of Dun’s long-term arrangement.
• Division and loss: Chaos’s separation into Hun and Dun represents the fragmentation of power, identity, and purpose.
• Resentment as calamity: Jie embodies the destructive power of accumulated hatred and dissatisfaction.
• Protection of life: Chaos’s original conflict with Jie began from a desire to preserve living beings rather than expand personal power.
• Time and urgency: Hun’s fading consciousness emphasizes how narrowly the clan avoided complete extinction.

Important Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu and Hun: Hun provides Jiang Liu with the final inheritance and reveals the truth of the Chaos Void God Clan before his consciousness disappears.
• Jiang Liu and Dun: Though Dun is absent, his influence dominates Jiang Liu’s life through the Data Panel, his planning, and his preparation of Jiang as the clan’s successor.
• Hun and Dun: Their mysterious split and falling-out remain unresolved, but their shared origin as halves of Chaos is confirmed.
• Chaos and Jie: Their first confrontation began when Chaos opposed Jie’s attempt to assimilate all beings in the Void, establishing their endless war.
• Jiang Liu and Jie: Jiang Liu recognizes that confronting Jie will likely be his responsibility alone, as Hun has given his last aid and Dun remains missing.

Chapter Summary: The Dao, an Incarnation of the Innate Supreme Dao

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu realizes that the original conflict between Chaos and Tribulation began because Chaos sought to prevent Tribulation from assimilating the Void Race. However, their confrontation has continued endlessly, with both sides preparing descendants to carry on the war.
• Tribulation appears to regard the Annihilation Devil Race as expendable tools rather than true descendants. This lack of emotional attachment has made them ruthless and willing to sacrifice themselves completely.
• The Annihilation Devil Race first annihilated the Chaos Void God Clan and then relentlessly hunted the Void Beast Race throughout the void, regardless of their own casualties.
• Jiang Liu reflects on the fate of Hun and Dun. Hun has vanished, while Dun’s whereabouts remain unknown; Jiang Liu wonders whether Dun absorbed the power accumulated by the Data Panel.
• Jiang Liu considers the origins of Dao, learning that Dao is the conscious embodiment of the innate Supreme Dao. Whenever a cultivation method or technique reaches its ultimate limit, it can give birth to a Dao realm influenced by Dao.
• Dao’s existence is especially dangerous because he could potentially control or affect every being whose cultivation reaches perfection. If not restrained by Chaos and Tribulation, the entire Void Realm might have become his hunting ground.
• Dao has remained hidden and treats all races equally, but even a slight preference toward one side could devastate the other. Like Chaos and Tribulation, he has also created a race—the Immortal Race.
• Jiang Liu becomes suspicious because Hun’s memories contained no trace of the Immortal Race, suggesting that the Immortal Race and the Immortal Realm may exist outside the Void Realm or within a concealed independent space.
• He theorizes that Hun’s memories concerning Dao, the Immortal Race, and the Immortal Realm may have been altered or erased, and he begins to sense that he is close to uncovering the truth.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: Becomes more perceptive about the relationships between Chaos, Tribulation, and their descendants. He recognizes his karmic connection to Chaos and appreciates the sacrifices of Hun and Dun, who enabled his rise to immense power. His understanding of Dao deepens, but so do his suspicions about hidden forces and manipulated memories.
• Chaos: Is portrayed as having a stronger emotional bond with its descendants than Tribulation, implying a more familial relationship with the Chaos Void God Clan.
• Tribulation: Is characterized as emotionally detached and pragmatic, using the Annihilation Devil Race as disposable weapons to continue its conflict with Chaos.
• Hun and Dun: Hun’s disappearance and Dun’s uncertain status reinforce their mysterious roles in Jiang Liu’s inheritance and development.
• Dao: Is revealed to be an ancient, nearly impartial but extremely dangerous existence—the conscious manifestation of the perfected innate Dao. His indirect influence may affect all supreme cultivation paths.
• The Immortal Race: Emerges as a mysterious faction connected to Dao, apparently hidden from even Hun’s perception.

Significant Themes

• Endless conflict and inherited warfare: The struggle between Chaos and Tribulation continues through their descendants, suggesting that ancient conflicts are passed from one generation to the next.
• Instrumentalization versus kinship: Tribulation’s treatment of the Annihilation Devil Race contrasts with Chaos’s attachment to its descendants, raising questions about whether loyalty comes from love, creation, or coercion.
• The danger of neutrality: Dao treats all races equally, but his enormous influence means that even minor partiality could have catastrophic consequences.
• Hidden history and unreliable memory: The possible alteration or loss of Hun’s memories suggests that the truth about Dao and the Immortal Realm has been deliberately concealed.
• Inheritance and sacrifice: Jiang Liu’s power is built upon what Hun and Dun gave him, emphasizing the burdens and responsibilities carried by the last survivor of a fallen race.
• The limits of cultivation: Dao represents the ultimate endpoint of cultivation and technique, showing that the perfection of power can itself produce a transcendent, conscious force.

Character Interactions

• Chaos and Tribulation remain locked in a prolonged struggle, using their respective races as extensions of their conflict.
• Tribulation commands the Annihilation Devil Race without apparent affection, while the race obeys with absolute loyalty and sacrifices itself without hesitation.
• Jiang Liu’s connection to Chaos is primarily karmic and inherited rather than based on direct interaction.
• Hun and Dun’s past actions continue to influence Jiang Liu, even in their absence, through the power and knowledge they passed on.
• Dao’s relationship with the various races is indirect and ostensibly impartial, yet his influence over cultivation gives him the potential to affect every powerful being in the Void Realm.

Chapter Summary: The Origin of the Forbidden God War, Dao’s Scheme (I)

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu analyzes the memories inherited from Hun and concludes that the altered memories are connected to Dao, the Immortal Race, and the Immortal Realm. However, Hun’s complete disappearance makes investigating these matters difficult.
• He speculates about Dun’s knowledge and intentions, especially Dun’s possible role in creating the Data Panel and guiding his cultivation. Jiang Liu believes Dun may have used him as an observation or cultivation candidate, much as he may once have done with the Chaos Lord God.
• Jiang Liu reflects on the Chaos Space, realizing that its connection to the Chaos Void God Clan may explain his rapid increase in strength after obtaining it.
• He considers why Dun might have abandoned the former Chaos Lord God, suggesting that the Lord God’s willingness to abandon his identity and race in pursuit of power may have caused Dun to lose interest in him.
• Jiang Liu learns more about the Chaos True World and the origins of the Chaos True God. The Chaos True God was once a starstone nurtured by the Chaos Void Laws and later attempted to seize control of the Chaos True World after the disappearance of the Chaos Void God Clan.
• Because the Chaos True Spirit never acknowledged the Chaos True God as its master, Jiang Liu concludes that the Chaos True God lacked the qualifications to control the world, even if it killed him.
• After Hun’s final consciousness fades, the Eternal Domain begins to tremble. Without Hun’s suppression, its destructive Law Source Power grows dangerously unstable.
• Jiang Liu uses the Chaos Void Sutra and his newly acquired understanding of the Eternal Domain to suppress the disturbance. He realizes, however, that this is only temporary: fully removing the destructive power would make the Eternal Domain vulnerable to the Main Gods and the Annihilation Devil Race.
• While exploring the Eternal Domain, Jiang Liu discovers that his Divine Sense has recovered to the level expected of a Pseudo-Lord God, though it still cannot cover the entire domain.
• At a mysterious location, his Divine Sense is violently repelled by an unfamiliar and extraordinarily powerful aura, leaving him shocked and apprehensive.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu becomes more knowledgeable about the hidden history of the Immortal Realm, the Chaos Void God Clan, and the Eternal Domain. He also gains greater control over the Eternal Domain and confirms the restoration of his Pseudo-Lord God-level abilities.
• His attitude toward Dun remains conflicted. Jiang Liu recognizes Dun’s immense effort in cultivating him but still cannot determine whether Dun created the Data Panel or why he selected him.
• Jiang Liu develops a more nuanced view of the Chaos Lord God, sympathizing with his sacrifices for the Hongmeng Star Realm while also judging his later abandonment of his race and principles.
• Hun’s role comes to an end as his last remnant of consciousness disappears, leaving Jiang Liu to manage the unstable Eternal Domain alone.
• The Chaos True God is revealed as ambitious and opportunistic, seeking control of the Chaos True World despite lacking the Chaos True Spirit’s recognition.

Significant Themes

• Hidden manipulation and destiny: Jiang Liu continues to question whether his growth has been guided by Dun or shaped by larger schemes involving Dao and the Immortal Race.
• The cost of power: The Chaos Lord God’s transformation illustrates how the pursuit of strength can lead someone to abandon loyalty, identity, and moral obligations.
• Inheritance and control: Jiang Liu inherits Hun’s memories and authority but also inherits the dangers and responsibilities tied to the Eternal Domain.
• Unstable balance: The destructive Law Source Power represents the fragile equilibrium holding the Eternal Domain together; removing one danger may expose it to greater threats.
• Qualification versus ambition: The Chaos True God desires control of the Chaos True World but lacks the recognition necessary to rule it, emphasizing that power and rightful authority are not the same.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu’s reflections on Dun and the Chaos Lord God reveal indirect relationships shaped by cultivation, abandonment, and differing choices regarding power.
• His inheritance of Hun’s memories and consciousness allows him to understand the Eternal Domain, but Hun’s disappearance forces Jiang Liu to assume responsibility independently.
• The final encounter is between Jiang Liu and the unknown aura within the Eternal Domain. His Divine Sense is repelled before he can identify its source, setting up the next major mystery.

Chapter Summary: The Origin of the Forbidden God War, Dao’s Scheme (2)

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu investigates an unfamiliar aura lingering in the void, using the Chaos Void Sutra to refine it and uncover information about its origin.
• A mysterious, nearly undetectable figure appears. Jiang Liu attacks with the Chaos Divine Axe and uses Chaos Void Slash, but the figure reforms after being cut apart.
• Jiang Liu realizes the figure’s aura possesses a powerful influence that instinctively attracts others toward it. He suspects this effect comes from its Law Power or cultivation technique and recognizes the danger it would pose to weaker cultivators.
• The figure identifies Jiang Liu’s pure Chaos Void Law Source Power and recognizes him as a successor of the Chaos Void God Clan, implying that Hun-Dun has successfully found and prepared a representative for the coming Forbidden God War.
• The figure then self-destructs, erasing all traces of its aura before Jiang Liu can investigate further.
• Jiang Liu concludes that the figure was left behind by Dao, one of the three Forbidden Main Gods. Dao has been monitoring the Eternal Domain and specifically checking whether Hun-Dun had found a successor.
• Dao’s comment confirms that the Forbidden God War can now proceed as scheduled.
• The chapter ends with the hidden scene becoming clear: Jiang Liu discovers a deep gorge containing the enormous corpse of an unidentified exotic beast.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu becomes increasingly wary and perceptive. Although he has reached the False Lord God Realm and believed he had few rivals beyond the Forbidden Main Gods, he realizes that unknown powers and techniques still exist within the Eternal Domain and Void Realm.
• His completed inheritance from Hun-Dun is emphasized. Hun-Dun’s body allowed Jiang Liu to perfect the Chaos Void Divine Body, causing his internal power to transform fully into Chaos Void Law Source Power.
• Jiang Liu’s status as the genuine successor of the Chaos Void God Clan is confirmed by the mysterious figure.
• Dao is characterized as highly secretive, cautious, and strategically involved in the God War. Dao anticipates possible exposure and ensures the probe leaves no recoverable information.
• Hun-Dun is shown to have made enormous sacrifices for Jiang Liu, including surrendering his own body to complete Jiang Liu’s cultivation and prepare him for the war.

Significant Themes

• Hidden power and uncertainty: Jiang Liu’s strength does not grant him complete knowledge or safety; mysterious forces remain beyond his understanding.
• Manipulation and surveillance: Dao’s lingering aura demonstrates how the Forbidden Main Gods monitor events indirectly while concealing their identities and abilities.
• The unknown purpose of war: Although the apparent prize is control of the Void Realm, Jiang Liu suspects this is not the true or most important reason the Forbidden God War is being held.
• Inheritance and sacrifice: Hun-Dun’s legacy enables Jiang Liu’s transformation and positions him as a key participant in the coming conflict.
• Dangerous influence: The mysterious figure’s aura can compel others to approach it, suggesting that powerful Laws or cultivation arts can affect the will and judgment of even high-level cultivators.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu confronts the mysterious figure in combat, testing its nature and resilience.
• The figure recognizes Jiang Liu’s lineage and connects him to Hun-Dun’s search for a successor.
• Through the figure’s cryptic remarks, Jiang Liu learns that Dao has been waiting for a suitable Chaos Void God Clan representative before allowing the Forbidden God War to begin.
• Jiang Liu reflects on the differing motives of Dao, Tribulation, and Hun-Dun, concluding that their actions suggest a deeper purpose behind the war than simple control of the Void Realm.

Chapter Summary: The Origin of the Forbidden God War, Dao’s Scheme (3)

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu discovers the corpse of an enormous Void Exotic Beast within the Eternal Domain.
• Although its appearance resembles known Void Exotic Beasts, its aura is far more powerful. Jiang Liu determines that it had reached the False Lord God Realm and might have rivaled Hun-Dun, Tribulation, and Dao while alive.
• The corpse appears to have died recently, creating a major mystery because such a powerful creature should not have been easy to kill or abandon.
• Jiang Liu reasons that Mie and the Four Great Devil Generals could not have been responsible:
  • They likely would have taken the corpse as a valuable cultivation resource.
  • Their strength would probably have been insufficient to kill the beast.
  • They had already left the Eternal Domain to prepare for the coming Forbidden God War.
• Based on the unfamiliar aura he sensed earlier, Jiang Liu concludes that Dao most likely killed the Void Exotic Beast and deliberately left its corpse behind.
• Jiang Liu suspects the corpse may reveal the truth behind:
  • The ancient conflict between Hun-Dun, Dao, and Tribulation.
  • The continued existence of the Forbidden God War.
  • The possibility that the three Forbidden Main Gods are pursuing benefits beyond control of the Void Realm—or are themselves trapped in a larger scheme.
• Jiang Liu approaches the corpse, but its immense pressure intensifies. His Chaos Token and Chaos Mirror activate automatically to protect him, and their power clashes with the corpse’s pressure.
• He stops advancing when the pressure becomes dangerous.
• A huge figure then appears before him and attacks by roaring, generating powerful gales.
• Jiang Liu uses the Chaos Divine Axe to disperse the incoming winds. The figure becomes enraged and roars again, signaling that the confrontation is only beginning.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu displays sharp analytical ability, connecting the corpse’s aura, the timing of Dao’s appearance, and the behavior of Mie’s forces to deduce Dao’s involvement.
• He becomes increasingly suspicious of the official explanation for the Forbidden God War, recognizing that the war may conceal a deeper objective or manipulation.
• Jiang Liu also demonstrates greater caution. Despite his False Lord God Realm strength, he does not recklessly approach the corpse and immediately responds to the hostile figure’s attack.
• Dao remains offscreen but becomes more mysterious and threatening. His apparent killing of the Void Exotic Beast and intentional placement of its corpse suggest a calculated plan.
• Mie and the Four Great Devil Generals are portrayed as urgently preparing for the coming war and seeking ways to strengthen the Annihilation Devil Race.

Significant Themes

• Hidden motives and conspiracy: The Forbidden God War may not truly be about ruling the Void Realm; the major powers may be pursuing secret gains or acting within someone else’s design.
• Power and cultivation resources: The corpse of the False Lord God Realm beast represents an extraordinary opportunity for strengthening one’s Divine Body, emphasizing the value of powerful remains.
• Uncertainty and investigation: Jiang Liu must interpret incomplete clues to uncover the truth behind ancient events.
• Danger beyond appearances: Even a corpse retains overwhelming pressure, while the Eternal Domain remains unpredictable and hostile.
• Manipulation and fate: The possibility that Hun-Dun, Dao, and Tribulation are all participants in a larger scheme raises questions about who truly controls the war.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu has no direct conversation with the other major characters in this chapter, but his deductions center on their actions and motives.
• His connection to Dao is indirect and adversarial: Jiang Liu investigates Dao’s deliberate placement of the corpse while trying to understand his scheme.
• The chapter ends with Jiang Liu facing a newly manifested hostile figure, whose attacks escalate after Jiang Liu defends himself.

Chapter Summary: The Origin of the Forbidden God War, Dao’s Scheme (IV)

Key Plot Points and Events

• The canyon is suddenly overwhelmed by violent Law Source Power, especially the Law of Destruction, causing it to collapse into numerous black holes.
• An immense and unfamiliar aura emerges from the canyon’s depths. Its power suppresses the destruction and restores the collapsed canyon.
• The remnant consciousness of the Void Exotic Beast is destroyed by this aura, confirming that the beast was deliberately left there by Dao.
• Jiang Liu investigates the canyon and discovers that the Void Exotic Beast’s corpse is far larger and stronger than any he has previously encountered.
• He realizes that the beast’s strength exceeds the False Lord God Realm, forcing him to question the established hierarchy of power and Dao’s true strength.
• Jiang Liu wonders whether Dao could have easily defeated Hun-Dun and Tribulation and whether the Forbidden God War was merely part of Dao’s larger scheme.
• Using the Chaos Void Sutra and the Chaos Token, Jiang Liu absorbs and refines the surrounding Destruction Law Source Power.
• The Void Exotic Beast’s corpse eventually disintegrates, revealing a small opening filled with unfamiliar Law Source Power and traces of Dao’s aura.
• Jiang Liu approaches the opening and suspects that the unknown Law Source Power may belong to Dao.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: His confidence is shaken as he encounters evidence that Dao’s strength and plans are far beyond his previous understanding. He becomes increasingly suspicious of the official history of the Forbidden God War and begins investigating Dao’s hidden arrangements more carefully.
• Dao: Although Dao does not appear directly, his overwhelming aura demonstrates extraordinary power. His decision to leave the Void Exotic Beast in the Eternal Domain suggests that he had prepared a secret mechanism or stored some form of power there.
• Hun-Dun and Tribulation: Their past relationship with Dao is reconsidered. Jiang Liu questions whether they were genuinely Dao’s equals or had been manipulated by him.
• Void Exotic Beast: Its corpse serves as both a sign of Dao’s terrifying strength and a container concealing the mysterious opening.

Significant Themes

• Hidden power and deception: The chapter challenges Jiang Liu’s assumptions about Dao, the Forbidden God War, and the true balance of power in the Void Realm.
• Uncovering the past: Physical remnants of an ancient battle reveal that the known history of the Void Realm may be incomplete or deliberately distorted.
• Power beyond established realms: The Void Exotic Beast’s strength suggests that the existing classification of cultivation realms may not represent the highest levels of existence.
• Inheritance and preparation: Dao’s preserved aura and hidden arrangement imply that he has been preparing for future events long in advance.
• Uncertainty and suspicion: Jiang Liu is forced to question whether Dao has been manipulating events from the beginning.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu primarily interacts with the Void Exotic Beast’s remnant consciousness and corpse, though these encounters are indirect and shaped by Dao’s lingering power.
• Dao’s aura effectively acts as an unseen presence, dominating the environment and destroying the beast’s consciousness without Dao physically appearing.
• Jiang Liu’s thoughts repeatedly compare Dao with Hun-Dun and Tribulation, deepening the chapter’s central mystery concerning their true relationship and the origins of the Forbidden God War.

Chapter Summary: The Origin of the Forbidden God War, Dao’s Schemes (5)

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu senses an unfamiliar type of Law Source Power within the Void Exotic Beast’s remains and wonders whether it belongs to Dao.
• He concludes that Dao deliberately left behind clues that only Tribulation and Hun-Dun could properly perceive, ensuring that others would gain little useful information.
• Jiang Liu suspects Dao has removed or concealed the Void Exotic Beast’s corpse for a larger purpose: creating the conditions for the Forbidden God War.
• He considers two possibilities:
  • Dao genuinely intends to provoke a war between the Chaos Void God Clan and the Annihilation Devil Race.
  • The Forbidden God War is merely a fabricated scheme, with all races treated as Dao’s playthings.
• The narrative shifts to Dao’s territory, the Immortal Realm Domain. Dao has gathered the luminous starstones from throughout the Void Realm and used them to illuminate and nourish his domain, leaving the rest of the Void Realm in darkness.
• In the High Firmament Palace, Dao reveals that someone has finally discovered what he left behind. He believes the Forbidden God War can now begin soon and has apparently been waiting nearly ten thousand years for this moment.
• Dao’s Immortal Race descendants are shown to be extremely numerous, vastly outnumbering the inherited descendants of Tribulation and Hun-Dun.
• When Jiang Liu attempts to refine the strange Law Source Power, it suddenly explodes inside him. The blast destabilizes the Law Source Powers he had already refined, causing them to run violently through his body.
• His Chaos Void Divine Body prevents the powers from escaping, so the chaotic energy converges on his Heavenly Gate, ending the chapter on a dangerous cliffhanger.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: Becomes increasingly wary of Dao and recognizes that he may be facing an opponent far more calculating and dangerous than expected. Despite his fear, he continues investigating the strange power, demonstrating determination and willingness to take risks. His attempt to refine it places him in immediate danger.
• Dao: Is further established as a hidden, patient, and extraordinarily powerful schemer. He carefully controls information, manipulates the environment of the Void Realm, maintains a vast power base, and treats the coming war as a long-planned experiment or strategy.
• Tribulation and Hun-Dun: Though absent from the chapter’s direct action, they are portrayed as major figures whom Dao may be manipulating through the concept of the Forbidden God War.

Significant Themes

• Manipulation and hidden agendas: Dao’s actions suggest that the war may be entirely the result of his long-term planning.
• Power versus caution: Although Dao possesses overwhelming strength, he relies on secrecy and calculation rather than openly dominating his enemies.
• Existential vulnerability: Jiang Liu fears that Dao may possess enough power to determine the survival or destruction of the entire Void Realm.
• The dangers of unknown power: Jiang Liu’s attempt to use unfamiliar Law Source Power shows the risks of dealing with forces whose nature and origin remain unclear.
• Exploitation of the realm: Dao’s removal of the luminous starstones symbolizes how he has reshaped and exploited the Void Realm to strengthen his own domain and descendants.

• Jiang Liu’s main “interaction” is with the mysterious Law Source Power, which reacts violently when he tries to refine it.
• Dao indirectly interacts with Jiang Liu and the other major factions through his planted remains, concealed identity, and plans for the Forbidden God War.
• Dao’s relationship with the Immortal Race is reflected through the vast number of descendants he has created, while his presumed manipulation of Tribulation and Hun-Dun reveals a broader conflict involving all major powers.

Chapter Summary: The Origin of the Forbidden God War and the Tianming Godhead

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu’s Heavenly Gate is pierced by an unfamiliar Law Source Power, transporting his perception into a preserved scene from the distant past.
• He witnesses the formation of the Void Realm: darkness gives way to white light, within which the Law of Life appears first, followed by numerous other Law Powers.
• As all the Laws converge, the white light explodes, releasing tremendous pressure that fractures the surrounding void and creates black holes.
• A skeleton formed from every Law Power emerges. Jiang Liu immediately recognizes it as the naturally born Tianming Godhead, a unique existence found only once in the entire Void Realm.
• Jiang Liu deduces that Dao may have initiated the Forbidden God War to obtain this godhead. He reasons that the godhead can only appear when enough Tianming Value is accumulated.
• Dao likely conducted repeated experiments and gradually expanded the conflict—from an initial struggle involving three individuals to the present war among the three great races: the Chaos Void God Clan, the Annihilation Devil Race, and the Immortal Race.
• Jiang Liu suspects this may be the final Forbidden God War, since the Chaos Void God Clan and Annihilation Devil Race appear to have nearly exhausted their Tianming Value.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu demonstrates exceptional clarity and analytical ability while observing Dao’s revelation. Rather than merely witnessing the vision, he reconstructs the likely history and purpose behind the Forbidden God War.
• His understanding of Tianming Value becomes more personal. He begins questioning whether his own rise was entirely due to his effort or whether Dun’s favor toward him was influenced by Tianming.
• Jiang Liu also becomes more suspicious of Dao’s motives and methods, recognizing that the war may have been the result of a long-term experiment rather than a simple conflict for power.

Significant Themes

• Fate versus personal effort: Jiang Liu questions whether his achievements were truly his own or partly determined by Tianming Value and Dun’s selection.
• The origins of creation: The vision reveals how Laws and living existence may have emerged from the void, connecting cosmic creation to the birth of the Tianming Godhead.
• Manipulation and sacrifice: The Forbidden God War appears to have been deliberately engineered by Dao, with entire races repeatedly used to accumulate the power needed to summon the godhead.
• Exhaustion of destiny: The depletion of Tianming Value suggests that even immense races and cosmic powers possess finite potential, possibly bringing an end to the current order.

Character Interactions

• No direct physical interactions occur in the chapter. Jiang Liu primarily interacts with the vision and the power left behind by Dao.
• His implied connection to Dao is central: Dao created the revelation for descendants of the Chaos Void God Clan and may have designed the war to produce the Tianming Godhead.
• Jiang Liu reflects on Dun’s past choice of him, wondering whether Dun selected him because of his unusually powerful Divine Soul—or because of a deeper connection to Tianming.
• He also considers the possible knowledge and involvement of Tribulation and Hun-Dun, questioning whether they understood Dao’s true objective.

Chapter Summary: Tianming Value Cleared? The Shattered Eternal Domain

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu enters the deepest part of a seemingly bottomless cave using the Chaos Token, which suppresses all surrounding auras.
• He remains cautious because he suspects the ancient Forbidden God War may have been a trap created by Dao, who had previously schemed against powerful beings such as Tribulation and Hun-Dun.
• Inside, Jiang Liu discovers that the cave is naturally formed rather than constructed by Dao. It contains no remaining Law Source Power, suggesting the shattered Eternal Domain has been completely drained by past battles.
• Believing the Eternal Domain to be useless as anything more than a dangerous cultivation ground, Jiang Liu prepares to leave.
• His escape is blocked by an invisible wall of unknown energy. He realizes that the cave, the Void Exotic Beast corpse, and the strange aura were all bait designed to lure him inside.
• Jiang Liu then notices that the circulation of the perfected Chaos Void Sutra has become sluggish. After investigating, he discovers that something vital has disappeared from his body.
• He concludes that Dao has taken or exhausted his Tianming Value, the resource connected to the manifestation of the Tianming Godhead.
• Jiang Liu infers that Dao’s true goal was not to kill him but to deplete his Tianming Value and confine him until the Forbidden God War begins.
• Rather than panic, Jiang Liu decides to remain and investigate how Tianming Value works and how it can be stolen. He retains the ability to return to Chaos Space, even without the Data Panel’s Fixed-Point Shuttle, and therefore believes he can escape whenever necessary.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu becomes increasingly perceptive and analytical. He carefully evaluates Dao’s possible motives instead of reacting emotionally to the apparent trap.
• His confidence grows as he recognizes that the trap does not threaten his life directly and that he still possesses a means of escape.
• Jiang Liu’s priorities shift from immediate survival to understanding the Tianming Godhead and the mechanics of Tianming Value, viewing the danger as an opportunity.
• Dao is characterized as an exceptionally calculating strategist. His actions appear deliberately confusing, using the Void Exotic Beast corpse and the cave’s aura to conceal his real objective.
• Hun-Dun and Tribulation remain important indirectly, since their descendants and the Tianming Godhead are connected to Dao’s larger scheme.

Significant Themes

• Manipulation and hidden motives: Dao’s trap illustrates how apparent threats can conceal a more subtle objective.
• Knowledge as power: Jiang Liu chooses investigation over escape, recognizing that understanding Tianming Value may give him leverage against Dao.
• Adaptability and composure: Rather than being overwhelmed by losing something mysterious and important, Jiang Liu calmly reassesses the situation.
• Decline of a once-great domain: The Eternal Domain, formerly associated with the Chaos Void God Clan, has been shattered and stripped of its resources, reflecting the impermanence of power and inheritance.
• Fate and destiny: Tianming Value appears to be a measurable force linked to the Tianming Godhead, raising questions about whether destiny can be accumulated, depleted, or stolen.

Character Interactions

• There is no direct confrontation or dialogue with Dao in the chapter, but Dao’s influence dominates the events through the trap he has prepared.
• Jiang Liu mentally reconstructs Dao’s intentions, connecting the cave, the corpse, the Forbidden God War, and the loss of Tianming Value into a coherent scheme.
• Jiang Liu’s relationship to the legacies of Hun-Dun, Tribulation, and the Chaos Void God Clan is also explored indirectly, as he realizes that his inherited status and Tianming Value make him a target in Dao’s plans.

Chapter Summary: Cause-and-Effect Reversal Formation

Key Plot Points and Events

• A previously dormant formation activates around Jiang Liu, sending seven-colored beams of light into the canyon according to a precise arrangement.
• Jiang Liu quickly recognizes that the formation was prepared long ago by the Dao and triggered by his presence. He realizes that the descendants of the Chaos Void God Clan—including himself—were intended to become sacrifices or sources of power.
• A multicolored beam locks onto Jiang Liu and follows him wherever he moves. Although he initially tries to evade it, he eventually decides to confront it directly.
• Jiang Liu uses the Chaos Mirror, Chaos Token, and Chaos Divine Axe to defend himself. When he strikes the beam, a powerful Law Source enters his body and disrupts the circulation of his Law Power.
• He realizes that the formation is extracting his Tianming Value and weakening his connection to the Heavenly Dao. If this continues, it will hinder both his cultivation and his control over his own laws.
• Jiang Liu attempts to counter the formation with his own formation, the Formation Heart of Ten Thousand Arrays, but it is destroyed immediately upon contact.
• From the clash, he identifies the enemy formation as the Cause-and-Effect Reversal Formation and learns something about the force supporting it. He concludes that breaking it alone will be difficult.
• Jiang Liu decides to rely on the final inheritance left behind by Hun and begins circulating the Chaos Void Sutra, even though the Law Power within his body is already in turmoil.

Character Development

• Jiang Liu demonstrates his knowledge of formations and quickly understands the purpose of the trap rather than panicking.
• He shifts from evasion to direct resistance, then from brute-force combat to strategic formation-based countermeasures.
• His discovery that Tianming Value can be forcibly taken from another person broadens his understanding of the Dao’s methods and reveals a new danger beyond ordinary physical attacks.
• Despite being trapped and suffering internal disruption, Jiang Liu remains analytical and determined, preparing to use Hun’s inheritance as a last resort.

Significant Themes

• The Dao’s manipulation and calculation: The Dao has arranged a long-term trap that treats powerful cultivators as resources rather than individuals.
• Loss of autonomy: The formation interferes with Jiang Liu’s control over his own Law Power, symbolizing the danger of having one’s fate and strength controlled by an external force.
• Knowledge versus brute force: Jiang Liu’s first attack fails, while his understanding of formations allows him to identify the enemy’s nature and search for a more effective solution.
• Cause and effect: The formation reflects the chapter’s central idea that fate, destiny, and causal relationships can be manipulated to reverse the flow of power and seize another person’s fortune.
• Escalating cosmic conflict: The revelation that Tianming Value can be extracted through formations suggests that the struggle against the Dao involves profound laws and hidden mechanisms, not merely direct combat.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu has no direct interaction with another character in the chapter, but he engages in a strategic confrontation with the Dao, whose formation actively targets and exploits him.
• He also invokes the legacy of Hun, whose final inheritance may provide the means to escape or overcome the formation.
• The Annihilation Devil Race member is mentioned as another likely victim, emphasizing that the trap was designed broadly for the descendants of the Chaos Void God Clan rather than specifically for Jiang Liu.

Chapter Summary: “First Clash Across Space”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu suffers intense internal explosions and pain when the violent power left behind by Dao begins rampaging through his body.
• The power attacks not only his meridians, bones, and flesh, but also his spiritual power, causing severe headaches and making the conflict far more dangerous than a normal clash of Laws.
• The Ancestral Bone Runes activate on their own, absorbing the Chaos Void Law Source Power and forming a powerful defensive and offensive force against Dao’s energy.
• Jiang Liu’s Chaos Void Divine Body withstands the internal battle, proving far more durable than he had previously realized.
• Hun’s final inheritance—the power transformed from the Chaos Void Lord God’s Divine Body—remains concealed as a backup measure in case the Ancestral Bone Runes fail.
• Jiang Liu decides that the dangerous aura must be expelled or destroyed, regardless of whether doing so alerts Dao. He no longer feels safe while carrying a force that Dao may be able to monitor or control remotely.
• In the Immortal Realm, Dao notices Jiang Liu resisting the aura but quickly loses interest. His greater concern is whether Jiang Liu can gain enough strength in the Eternal Domain to help the Chaos Void God Clan during the coming Forbidden God War.
• The Ancestral Bone Runes merge with the Chaos Void Laws, their golden radiance driving deeper into Jiang Liu’s body. The chaotic aura eventually begins leaking out of him, suggesting that the expulsion of Dao’s power has begun.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu gains confidence in his ability to confront Dao’s lingering power. He realizes that the Ancestral Bone Runes possess abilities far beyond what he understood, including the capacity to absorb Law Power and directly attack hostile forces.
• He also recognizes the strength of his newly completed Chaos Void Divine Body, which survives a devastating internal struggle.
• Jiang Liu becomes more decisive and pragmatic, choosing to remove Dao’s influence despite the potential danger of attracting Dao’s attention.
• Dao is portrayed as detached and calculating. Although he can observe Jiang Liu’s struggle, he considers it relatively unimportant compared with the larger objective of preparing the Chaos Void God Clan for the Forbidden God War.
• Hun’s inheritance remains an important hidden safeguard, even though it does not yet intervene.
• Jiang Liu realizes that much of what he previously knew about the Ancestral Bone Runes came indirectly through Jiang Wang and was based largely on hearsay.

Significant Themes

• Hidden power and incomplete understanding: Jiang Liu discovers that the Ancestral Bone Runes contain abilities and secrets unknown even to him.
• Control versus external influence: The struggle represents Jiang Liu’s attempt to free himself from Dao’s lingering control and reclaim complete authority over his own body.
• Preparation for larger conflict: The personal battle foreshadows the coming Forbidden God War and connects Jiang Liu’s growth to the survival of the weakened Chaos Void God Clan.
• Risk and resolve: Jiang Liu accepts the danger of provoking Dao because remaining passively influenced is even more dangerous.
• Layered safeguards and inherited power: The Ancestral Bone Runes and Hun’s inheritance show that Jiang Liu possesses multiple hidden protections, though he cannot yet fully understand or control them.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu directly confronts the force Dao left within him, turning his own body into the battlefield.
• The Ancestral Bone Runes act autonomously to protect Jiang Liu and attack the invading power, surprising him with their initiative.
• Dao observes Jiang Liu from afar and acknowledges his resistance, but does not intervene.
• Jiang Wang’s earlier, incomplete information indirectly shapes Jiang Liu’s understanding of the Ancestral Bone Runes, which Jiang Liu now realizes was insufficient.

Chapter Summary: “Gravely Wounded, Fleeing Far Away”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu struggles to suppress the berserk aura of Dao, which is tearing through his body and causing massive cracks in his Divine Body.
• He relies on the Chaos Void Sutra, the Ancestral Bone Runes, and the power Hun left within him to resist and expel the destructive force.
• Hun’s dormant power finally awakens, assisting the Ancestral Bone Runes. Jiang Liu’s body begins adapting to Dao’s Law Power, while his Law Source Power grows stronger.
• Jiang Liu summons the Chaos Mirror Spirit, Chaos Token Spirit, and Chaos Divine Axe Spirit. Their combined mental pressure disperses the berserk aura and causes the already-damaged gorge to collapse.
• After half an hour of recovery, Jiang Liu completely heals his wounds and stabilizes the chaotic Law Power within his body.
• His Divine Sense expands across the entire Eternal Domain, revealing that his mental power and control have greatly improved.
• Jiang Liu discovers a location filled with remnants of an ancient battle. He identifies it as the battlefield where the three Forbidden Main Gods—Hun, Dun, and Tribulation—once fought.
• He concludes that the destruction of the Eternal Domain was caused not only by the Annihilation Devil Race, but more fundamentally by the battle between these powerful beings.
• Jiang Liu theorizes that Hun and Dun may have separated during the battle: Hun eventually died, while Dun fled gravely wounded. Tribulation and Dao were later expelled by the Void Realm Heavenly Dao.
• He suspects that the battle was closely connected to the corpse of the Void Exotic Beast left behind by Dao.

Character Development

• Jiang Liu demonstrates increased resilience, surviving Dao’s aura and forcing it out through his own strength.
• His Chaos Void Divine Body grows stronger by adapting to Dao’s Law Power, giving him greater confidence in future confrontations.
• His mental power and Divine Sense improve dramatically, allowing him to instantly traverse and investigate the entire Eternal Domain.
• Jiang Liu gains a better understanding of the powers hidden within him, particularly Hun’s remaining force and the Ancestral Bone Runes.
• His investigation shows him becoming more analytical, using the traces of the battlefield to reconstruct the history of the Forbidden Main Gods.

Significant Themes

• Growth through adversity: Jiang Liu’s near-fatal ordeal strengthens both his body and his understanding of his abilities.
• Self-reliance: He concludes that defeating external enemies ultimately requires relying on his own power rather than depending entirely on hidden forces.
• Adaptation and preparation: Enduring Dao’s aura gives Jiang Liu valuable experience and better prepares him for future battles.
• Uncovering the past: The ruined battlefield offers clues about the origins of the Eternal Domain’s destruction and the conflict among the Forbidden Main Gods.
• Hidden power and legacy: Hun’s remaining power and the Ancestral Bone Runes continue to influence Jiang Liu, linking his present struggles to ancient events.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu interacts indirectly with Hun through the power Hun left within his body; this force awakens and helps repel Dao’s aura.
• His summoned Chaos spirits—the Chaos Mirror Spirit, Chaos Token Spirit, and Chaos Divine Axe Spirit—assist him by releasing overwhelming mental pressure.
• Jiang Liu’s thoughts focus on the past conflict involving Hun, Dun, Tribulation, and Dao, though none of these figures directly appear in the chapter.
• His discovery of the battlefield deepens his connection to the ancient conflict and links it to the mysterious Void Exotic Beast corpse.

Chapter Summary: “Trouble Brought by the Revival of the Eternal Domain”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After dispersing Dao’s lingering aura and destroying Hun’s Divine Body, Jiang Liu senses a major change in the Eternal Domain: its Law Source Power is rapidly increasing.
• He realizes that the Eternal Domain is beginning to revive. Previously, Hun’s Divine Body and Dao’s aura had suppressed it, but their disappearance has allowed its restoration to accelerate dramatically.
• The Law Source Power inside the domain is far purer and more powerful than that of the Void Realm, making the Eternal Domain an extremely valuable cultivation resource for Pseudo-Lord Gods and Main Gods.
• Jiang Liu concludes that the Void Realm’s Main Gods—including Jiang Wang—will eventually return to seize the domain after dealing with the Devil Race invasion.
• Although Jiang Liu originally intended to leave the ruined domain, he decides to defend it because it is the ancestral land of the Chaos Void God Clan, and because its revived power can greatly aid his cultivation.
• He acknowledges the danger of defending an immovable domain against multiple Main Gods. He believes he can resist up to three Main Gods, but would struggle if the remaining four united, especially with the Chaos True Lord possibly interfering.
• Jiang Liu determines that Mie and the four Devil Generals are unlikely to return to the Void Realm, since the Void Realm Heavenly Dao would kill them if they entered again.
• He flies across the Eternal Domain to investigate whether it can be made to protect itself. He focuses on recreating the powerful defensive light screen that once kept Jiang Wang and the other Main Gods outside.

Character Developments

• Jiang Liu: Becomes more determined and protective of the Eternal Domain after recognizing both its strategic value and his status as the Chaos Void God Clan’s last descendant. He shifts from planning to abandon the domain to preparing to defend and restore it. His confidence in his growing combat strength is also reinforced.
• Jiang Wang and the Main Gods: Though absent from the immediate scene, they are established as future rivals who seek the Eternal Domain’s Law Source Power for cultivation.
• The Void Realm Heavenly Dao: Its behavior is clarified. It prevents the Annihilation Devil Race from entering freely but does not necessarily interfere in conflicts among races already present within the Void Realm.
• Mie and the Devil Generals: Their threat is temporarily reduced because they cannot safely reenter the Void Realm.

Significant Themes

• Revival after destruction: The removal of Hun’s body and Dao’s aura allows the long-suppressed Eternal Domain to recover, suggesting that destruction can also create the conditions for renewal.
• Power and possession: The Eternal Domain’s revival turns it into a coveted resource, guaranteeing future conflict among the strongest beings.
• Inheritance and responsibility: Jiang Liu’s desire to defend the domain is driven not only by personal benefit but also by his identity as the final heir of the Chaos Void God Clan.
• Strategic balance of power: Jiang Liu must weigh his own strength against the possibility of several Main Gods and the Chaos True Lord joining forces against him.
• Self-reliance and protection: Rather than depending on Dun’s former defensive arrangement, Jiang Liu considers creating his own protective barrier for the Eternal Domain.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu reflects on his previous battle with Jiang Wang, using it to estimate that he can confront roughly three Main Gods at once.
• He considers the likely future actions of the Void Realm’s Main Gods, who may return once the Devil Race invasion is contained.
• He contrasts the threat posed by the Main Gods with that of Mie and the Devil Generals, concluding that the latter are temporarily restrained by the Void Realm Heavenly Dao.
• Jiang Liu recalls how Dun’s light screen protected him from Jiang Wang and the others, inspiring him to attempt to recreate a similar defense for the Eternal Domain.

Chapter Summary: Eternal Domain Barrier (I)

Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu attempts to recreate the protective barrier previously established by Dun around the ruined Eternal Domain.
• Drawing on techniques recorded in Hun’s inheritance, he circulates the Chaos Void Sutra and gathers Chaos Void Law Source Power.
• He enhances his existing personal domain—formerly called the Chaos Void Domain—by infusing it with his spiritual imprint and Chaos Void Law Source Power. He renames it the Chaos Void Divine Domain.
• Because Jiang Liu now controls the Chaos True World and Chaos Space, he can perceive and manipulate the entire Eternal Domain as easily as the Light Domain.
• He begins arranging the barrier like a formation, using the Myriad Laws Formation Core to send pale strands of light around the Eternal Domain.
• When he attempts to connect the strands, they suddenly explode, causing severe spiritual backlash and consuming more than half of the Divine Sea water in his Spirit Sea Space.
• Jiang Liu spends six hours replenishing his Soul Force before considering the problem again.
• He realizes that completing the barrier may require Soul Force comparable to that of Hun and Dun.

Character Development

• Jiang Liu demonstrates increasing mastery over laws, domains, formations, and spiritual power. His control over the Chaos True World and Chaos Space allows him to treat the vast Eternal Domain as though it were a small, manageable area.
• He shows caution and adaptability after the barrier construction fails, immediately stopping the attempt and restoring his depleted Soul Force.
• The failed experiment reveals that his spiritual strength, despite having reached the False Lord God Realm, may still be insufficient for the barrier’s full activation.
• Jiang Liu begins to suspect that his Soul Force could potentially break through into the Forbidden Lord God Realm before his overall cultivation does.

Significant Themes

• Power and limitation: Jiang Liu possesses extraordinary abilities, but the barrier exposes the gap between his current strength and that of Hun and Dun.
• Inheritance and innovation: He adapts Hun’s recorded techniques and Dun’s earlier creation rather than simply copying them.
• The cost of protection: Safeguarding the Eternal Domain requires an enormous expenditure of Soul Force, emphasizing that defensive power can be as demanding as combat.
• Growth through failure: The failed connection attempt consumes vast energy but also slightly strengthens Jiang Liu’s Soul Force, turning failure into progress.
• Legacy of innate divine beings: Hun and Dun’s shared origins and comparable techniques remain central to Jiang Liu’s efforts.

Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu’s main interactions are with the legacies of Hun and Dun, rather than with them directly.
• Hun’s inheritance provides the techniques needed to construct the barrier.
• Hun’s residual consciousness had previously learned from Jiang Liu that Dun created the original barrier, revealing that Hun was initially unaware of its existence.
• Dun’s barrier serves as both the model Jiang Liu is trying to reproduce and a reminder that its continued operation once depended on Hun’s maintenance.

Summary of “Eternal Domain Barrier (2)”

Plot points and events

Jiang Liu continues constructing the Eternal Domain Barrier, using the process to temper and strengthen his Divine Soul. Although several attempts initially fail as the pale barrier lines collapse, he discovers that his Divine Sea Space has expanded significantly. His Divine Soul Power remains at the False Lord God Realm rather than advancing to the Forbidden Main God Realm, but his reserves and Soul Skill endurance have roughly doubled. Eventually, the barrier’s lines successfully connect, allowing Jiang Liu to attach his Divine Sense to it and perceive the entire Eternal Domain with unprecedented clarity.
After replenishing his exhausted Divine Sea, he spends another day completing and reinforcing the barrier. The finished defense is strong enough to resist Jiang Wang and several other Main Gods, though Jiang Liu recognizes that he must remain in the Eternal Domain to protect it, especially since he has lost the ability to use Fixed-Point Shuttle. Just as he prepares to eliminate the domain’s remaining hidden dangers, powerful tremors arise from the distant void.

Character development

Jiang Liu becomes more committed to using the revived Eternal Domain as both a cultivation ground and a strategic foothold in the Void Realm. He shows patience and adaptability when repeated barrier failures occur, carefully analyzing the unexpected expansion of his Divine Sea. Though he does not achieve the breakthrough he hoped for, he gains substantially greater Divine Soul reserves and confidence in his ability to defend the domain. He also accepts that protecting the Eternal Domain may require his continuous presence.

Significant themes

• Cultivation through adversity: Repeated failures ultimately lead to gradual strengthening.
• Preparation and looming conflict: The barrier represents Jiang Liu’s preparations for the approaching Forbidden God War and the threat of the Annihilation Devil Race.
• Power versus responsibility: Jiang Liu’s growing strength comes with the burden of guarding the Eternal Domain.
• Uncertainty and hidden threats: Even after completing the barrier, unresolved dangers remain, emphasized by the final tremors in the void.

Character interactions

There is little direct interpersonal interaction in the chapter. Jiang Liu’s thoughts are primarily focused on the potential threat posed by Jiang Wang and other Main Gods, who might attempt to seize the Eternal Domain. His actions are also shaped by the broader conflict involving the Annihilation Devil Race and the coming Forbidden God War.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Jiang Liu leaves the Eternal Domain and observes a distant battle in which Void Realm forces are rapidly defeating invading Devil Race members.
• He concludes that the invasion was only a preliminary assault or “rehearsal,” since the Devil Race’s strongest experts likely did not participate.
• Jiang Liu worries about a future invasion involving all five Devil Ancestors, especially because several Void Realm Main Gods are dead or weakened: Ying Chong and Ji Tuo have fallen, while Tu Tong has not recovered.
• During the battle, Ying Mo of the Light Shadow Clan kills a Devil Race warrior. The warrior’s remains are immediately swallowed by black holes appearing in the void.
• Jiang Liu investigates and realizes that these black holes are systematically collecting the flesh and bodies of fallen warriors from both the Devil Race and the Void Realm.
• When he attempts to interfere, an opposing force disperses his attack. He identifies it as Flesh Great Dao Law Power and deduces that the Blood Demon Ancestor is secretly behind the phenomenon.
• Jiang Liu concludes that the Blood Demon Ancestor survived the previous war, likely through a hidden divine soul or clone, and that the invasion was engineered to gather enough flesh and blood to revive him.
• He suspects the Evil Demon Clan, which led the invasion, was manipulated or betrayed by the Blood Demon Race.
• Jiang Liu decides to stop the collection process and unleashes powerful pale rays that eliminate the remaining Devil Race combatants and close the black holes.
• Ying Mo, witnessing the overwhelming attack, wonders which Main God has intervened.

2. Character Developments

• Jiang Liu becomes increasingly suspicious and analytical. Rather than merely observing the war, he investigates the strange disappearance of corpses and successfully uncovers the Blood Demon Race’s hidden scheme.
• He also demonstrates decisiveness and strength by intervening once he understands the threat.
• Ying Mo is portrayed as a burdened but capable clan patriarch. He fights relentlessly to protect the Light Shadow Clan after the Devil Race unexpectedly targets their territory.
• The Blood Demon Ancestor is revealed to be a hidden survivor rather than a confirmed casualty of the previous war. His apparent death was likely a deception intended to enable a later resurrection.
• Jiang Wang and the other Void Realm powerhouses remain important offscreen figures. Their recent victory has stabilized the invasion temporarily, but their reduced numbers leave the Void Realm vulnerable.

3. Significant Themes

• Deception and hidden agendas: The invasion is not what it appears to be; the visible conflict conceals a resurrection plan.
• The cost and exploitation of war: The bodies of fallen warriors are treated as resources, emphasizing how death can be manipulated for greater power.
• Uncertainty surrounding death: Supposedly dead figures such as the Blood Demon Ancestor—and possibly other Devil Ancestors—may have survived through clones, souls, or other methods.
• Temporary victory and looming danger: The Devil Race’s defeat provides only brief relief, since the true invasion may come later with stronger forces.
• Power imbalance and sacrifice: The Void Realm has suffered major losses, making future defense increasingly difficult.

4. Character Interactions

• Jiang Liu observes Ying Mo and the Light Shadow Clan battling the Devil Race, then secretly investigates the aftermath of their fight.
• His attempt to stop the corpse-absorbing black hole is countered by the Blood Demon Ancestor’s Flesh Great Dao power, creating an indirect confrontation.
• Jiang Liu acts to protect both Void Realm and Devil Race casualties from being harvested, though Ying Mo does not realize who has intervened.
• The chapter ends with Ying Mo reacting in shock to Jiang Liu’s immense, unidentified power.

Chapter Summary: The Major Main Gods Appear in the Void Realm

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ying Mo, despite having reached the Unity Realm and nearing another breakthrough, is completely overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of pale beams of light. The attacks are merely casual strikes from an unknown Main God, yet they possess power Ying Mo has never encountered before.
• The mysterious Main God’s intervention instantly destroys the enemies attacking the Light Shadow Clan and other Void Realm races, greatly reducing casualties from the Devil Race invasion.
• Ying Mo leaves to help conclude the remaining battles, while Jiang Liu slips into the void to investigate the source of the attack.
• Jiang Liu determines that the hidden attacker he previously exchanged blows with is a Blood Demon Race member at the Unity Realm. The Blood Demon had likely advanced because of the benefits gained during the invasion and had used the chaos of battle to conceal himself.
• Jiang Liu finds the Blood Demon fleeing in panic after realizing that Jiang Liu is a Lord God-level opponent. Rather than immediately capturing him, Jiang Liu follows deliberately, apparently intending to use him for another purpose.
• Their pursuit leads toward another major battlefield, where Jiang Liu detects powerful Death, Spacetime, and Dark Laws. He identifies the combatants as the Main Gods Jiang Wang, Yao Ben, and Li Fan fighting several Devil Ancestors.
• Jiang Liu notices that Zou Yan is not openly participating. He soon senses Zou Yan’s concealed Heavenly Mandate Karma Laws, realizing that Zou Yan is hiding nearby and preparing a surprise attack.
• Jiang Liu openly reveals his presence at the battlefield’s edge, knowing Zou Yan has already detected him.

Character Developments

• Ying Mo: His confidence is shaken by the unknown Main God’s overwhelming power. He recognizes the vast difference between his Unity Realm strength and the power of a true Main God, but continues contributing by helping the surviving races.
• Jiang Liu: Demonstrates exceptional perception and composure. He easily identifies the Blood Demon’s approximate strength, sees through his concealment, and chooses to pursue him slowly rather than capture him immediately, implying a larger plan. He also quickly analyzes the battlefield and the strategies of the other Main Gods.
• Blood Demon Race member: Becomes frightened after discovering Jiang Liu’s Lord God-level strength and abandons concealment to flee toward the battlefield where his fellow Devil Race members are fighting.
• Jiang Wang, Yao Ben, and Li Fan: Actively engage multiple Devil Ancestors using their respective Death, Spacetime, and Dark Laws, helping contain the Devil Race invasion.
• Zou Yan: Revealed as a highly strategic and patient combatant. Instead of confronting the Devil Ancestors directly, he hides and prepares to exploit an opening with his Heavenly Mandate Karma Laws.

Significant Themes

• The gap between realms: Ying Mo’s reaction emphasizes the enormous difference between Unity Realm cultivators and Main Gods.
• The arrival of a new power: The unknown Main God may alter the existing balance of the Void Realm, though their intervention currently benefits the races resisting the Devil Race.
• Strategy and concealment: The chapter highlights the importance of hidden identities, ambushes, and battlefield positioning. The Blood Demon uses chaos to hide, while Zou Yan deliberately remains concealed to create pressure on the Devil Ancestors.
• Unity against invasion: The Void Realm’s Main Gods prioritize fighting the Devil Race, and their cooperation allows them to protect their races and limit the invasion’s destruction.
• Power beyond known laws: The unknown Main God’s strange law light suggests the emergence of an unfamiliar and potentially disruptive power.

Character Interactions

• Ying Mo witnesses the unknown Main God’s attack and later continues fighting elsewhere, while Jiang Liu independently investigates the situation.
• Jiang Liu briefly clashes with the Blood Demon, causing the latter to flee. Their pursuit becomes a calculated chase rather than a direct confrontation.
• Jiang Liu identifies the battle involving Jiang Wang, Yao Ben, and Li Fan against the Devil Ancestors through their Law Powers.
• Zou Yan’s hidden presence indirectly affects the battle, forcing the Devil Ancestors to divide their attention between the visible Main Gods and the threat of a concealed attack.
• Jiang Liu deliberately reveals himself at the battlefield, setting the stage for his interaction with both Zou Yan and the Devil Ancestors.
