• Xu Yunfan observed the grand Temple of Delis, built to honor a minor goddess whose worship was concentrated in the region.
• Xu Yunfan entered the church and turned his attention to the life-sized statue of the goddess Delis.

Xu Yunfan examined the divine statue of a goddess who governed sighs and listening, while Zhang Ziyang explained how faith and wish power shaped Attila’s cultivation system. The statue sensed Xu Yunfan’s irreverent gaze and fixed him with an icy, reproachful stare.

• Xu Yunfan kept his gaze on the instrument while the chapter described Attila’s many rival and independent divine systems.

Xu Yunfan confronted Delis in her church and easily resisted her Divine Sound and Divine Might, provoking her with a scathing appraisal. Delis unleashed a cage of sound blades around him, and the chapter ended as her attack began.

• Xu Yunfan considered whether the realm's numerous deities were true Dao Fruit manifestations and inferred that faith might give them an external Dao foundation.

• Xu Yunfan mocked Delis's unstable Divine Power and praised her appearance, enraging her.
• Delis formed a rapidly spinning cage of sound blades around Xu Yunfan.

• Delis's divine radiance and holy will weakened, and the Sonic Blade Prison disintegrated before reaching Xu Yunfan.
• Xu Yunfan stepped into the ruined church and faced Delis's cracked, lifeless-looking statue.

Xu Yunfan invaded Delis's divine kingdom, subdued her, and removed her godhead to examine its nature. He found it was only a projection of Attila World Heaven's laws, then returned it and concluded that Delis's cultivation had been bestowed by heaven.

• Xu Yunfan followed the threads of karma into Delis's divine kingdom, cracking its foundation as he arrived.

• Xu Yunfan returned the godhead and told Delis that Attila World Heaven had bestowed her Dao foundation and could reclaim it.

• The Empress of Heaven silently called Xu Yunfan a lecher as he continued gathering information from Delis.

Xu Yunfan purified Attila’s Immortal Golden Nature and refined it into the first wisp bearing his own mark, then considered what personal image would define his Dao. He postponed that decision and resolved to gather more Immortal Golden Nature from the deities of Attila.

• Xu Yunfan recognized the deities’ Godhead Cores as sources of Immortal Golden Nature and summoned Ye Xuan, reforming her more than a dozen times.
• Xu Yunfan contemplated an image rooted in freedom, thunder, and indestructibility but decided he needed more Dao cultivation before choosing one.
• Xu Yunfan resolved to collect as much Immortal Golden Nature as possible from Attila’s deities to strengthen his foundation.

Xu Yunfan hunted weak, isolated deities across Attila’s Savage Western Wilderness, refining their godheads and extracting Immortal Golden Nature while feeding the Star Spirit Banner.

Xu Yunfan and Zhang Ziyang defeated Tatus, the God of Thunder, and seized his damaged godhead and remnant soul. After refining Tatus into a Banner Spirit, they realized the remaining Winter God System contract mark could alert Lokman, the God of Winter.

• Xu Yunfan disrupted Tatus's faith-power supply and struck the thunder spirit with Divine Firmament lightning, then tore off one of its arms.
• Zhang Ziyang exposed the weakness in Tatus's godhead core as Xu Yunfan's attacks shattered its divine mark and left Tatus severely wounded.

• The Star Spirit Banner refined Tatus's remnant soul into a Banner Spirit, strengthening its origin and advancing the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array to 45/365.
• Zhang Ziyang warned Xu Yunfan that the damaged godhead still bore the Winter God System's Subordinate Contract mark, which Lokman could sense.

Xu Yunfan refined Tatus's Thunder Godhead, replaced him as the deity worshipped by the Frost Skull tribe, and joined forces with Zhang Ziyang beneath a new Thunder Pantheon. After Lokman summoned him, Xu Yunfan traveled to the Eternal Frost Court and stood before the God of Winter.

Xu Yunfan refined Tatus’s Thunder Godhead and developed Frost Thunder City while planning to expand the Star Spirit Banner into a vast source of purified wish power. He began reinforcing the banner’s spatial capacity, and the Thunder Godhead helped him blend into Attila and sense the Winter Law’s network across the Northern Plains.

• Xu Yunfan refined the Thunder Godhead in the Divine Firmament World Refining Cauldron while the Star Spirit Banner’s weak deity Banner Spirits stabilized Frost Thunder City.

Xu Yunfan used the Thunder Godhead’s Divine Duty succession to locate lightning treasures across the Winter Ice Plains while an attack by the Ice Plains Wolf God’s shamans gave him a chance to claim a young thunder rhino. He continued gathering resources to strengthen his Godhead and Cave Heaven Prototype, leaving his foundation steadily improving.
