Identity and hierarchy
The title Evil God applies to multiple entities rather than a single known race-member. Devourer of Desire identifies himself as the Father of Evil Gods and the First Generation Evil God, claiming to have been born by devouring human desires. His descendants include Shi Hun, the Black Infant and ninth son, as well as numerous powerful Sons of the Evil God. 253 411 434
- Devourer of Desire — First Generation Evil God and father of the Evil Gods. 434

- Evil God creatures — A hierarchy of low-level, high-level, and intelligent creatures that inhabit the Evil Gods’ world. 420 427
- Followers and believers — Mortals granted power in exchange for service, eventually corrupted into extensions of the Evil God’s will. 296 409

Story Role / Major Arcs
Revival and early infiltration
Shi Hun, the Black Infant and ninth son of the Evil God, searches for an unnamed special item capable of helping his father revive. Before dying, he warns Ye Jing that the Evil Gods will find him even through disguise. 253
The Evil God then begins infiltrating the Profound Yellow Great World through desperate cultivators such as He Huli, offering power, concealment, and escape from the Heavenly Court in exchange for service. 296
Prayer-site network
Ye Jing discovers that black beads hidden in ancient ruins and statues harvest evil thoughts from worshippers. The Evil God’s followers establish and maintain dozens of corrupted prayer sites across remote regions. 375 379
After the backlash and self-destruction of an interrogated follower, Ye Jing and the Book Sage recognize that the Evil God can control followers’ bodies remotely and suspend their direct clearing operation. 380
Assault on Town Heaven Pass

Once the barrier falls, the Evil God’s army attacks with flesh-based creatures, alien insect nests, shadows, and Sons of the Evil God. The Evil God later breaks free from a black hole and battles Ye Jing in the starry sky. 411 414
Infiltration of the Evil Gods’ world
Ye Jing enters the Evil Gods’ world through a black hole, disguising himself as a low-level Evil Creature. He discovers a flesh-built city, enslaved humans, and the recurring hunting games used to produce evil energy. 419 420 424
After learning that light pillars deliver harvested energy to the Evil Gods, Ye Jing creates a righteous light sphere and feeds it into one pillar. The resulting internal explosion weakens and allows him to destroy one Evil God before its allies arrive. 425 428 429
Confrontation with Devourer of Desire
At a spatial node, Ye Jing encounters the infant-form Devourer of Desire, who reveals himself as the First Generation Evil God and father of the Evil Gods. Ye Jing resists his illusions and soul-devouring attempt through the Chaos Green Lotus and Xuanyuan Sword. 434
Devourer of Desire later tries to bewitch Ye Jing into embracing slaughter and evil. Ye Jing comprehends a reverse bewitchment effect, turns the mental influence back on the Evil God, and forces it to retreat. 484 485
Alliance with the Heavenly Court
