Chapter Summaries

Red Robe tried to unseal the Death Scythe to claim the God of Death’s power and find his deceased wife’s soul, while the God of Death recalled how her godhood had been divided and warned that releasing it could destroy the world. Parr and John arrived to stop him, but the battle’s energy and fragments from Lucy Ni’s warhammer helped the seal open further.

• Red Robe assembled the metal fragments in the Temple Hall and began revealing the Death Scythe, while the God of Death remembered that a woman had divided her godhood and sealed it away a thousand years earlier.
• The God of Death warned Red Robe that unsealing her godhood could destroy the world, but he continued, determined to become the God of Death and find his wife’s soul.
• John attacked Red Robe, who bound him with gray-black chains, then Parr arrived and struck at Red Robe’s shield with the Cyan White Long Saber.
• Parr’s saber transformed into a White-Gold Giant Dragon that clashed with Red Robe’s manifestation of the God of Curse, while Red Robe kept opening the Death Scythe’s seal.
• The Holy Sword Fragment flew into the seal, and Lucy Ni’s shattered warhammer released three more metal fragments that joined the unsealing as Parr charged toward Red Robe.

Parr tried to stop Red Robe from unsealing the Death Scythe, but John killed Red Robe before the seal opened. A mysterious explosion engulfed the Death Temple, and after Lucy Ni reported that spatial cracks had swallowed Parr, Hu Ya and Tail remained at the ruins entrance, refusing to believe he was dead.

• Parr forced his way through the energy shockwaves toward Red Robe, exhausting his Battle Qi and injuring himself, while Lucy Ni failed to reach him.

• The next day, Tail recognized Parr’s scent on the unconscious Lucy Ni, and Hu Ya and Tail waited until Lucy Ni woke.
• Lucy Ni told Hu Ya that spatial cracks had engulfed Parr during the temple’s collapse, but Hu Ya carried Tail back to the passage entrance and continued waiting for him.

Lucy Ni received a mysterious inheritance warning that the God of Death had broken his seal, while Tail recovered memories of her mother and led Hu Ya back to Gold Crystal Fortress. There they learned Parr was alive and Tail destroyed a hidden possession spell; the story then returned to Parr, who awoke weakened by a divine curse after John sacrificed himself and passed him a generational Talent.

• Lucy Ni saw a platinum pearl and entered a white space, where a woman told her the God of Death had broken his seal and that she would inherit her will.
• Tail remembered her mother leaving her in a palace engulfed in flames, then urged Hu Ya to return to Gold Crystal Fortress and check whether Parr was alive.

Parr survived the collapsing Divine Kingdom Space by escaping through a spatial crack, while the God of Death and the Cyan Armored Man remained behind. Injured and unable to recover, Parr found himself surrounded by Black Armored Men and ended the chapter trapped at their camp beside a river.

• The woman in white separated the Radiance Sword core from the God of Death’s Divine Kingdom Space, using the spatial collapse to reinforce the Death Scythe’s seal as the God of Death forced the Black Mark back inside.
• Parr followed a vision from Danger Prediction and rolled into a spatial crack, while the woman in white teleported everyone else out and the Cyan Armored Man agreed to help the God of Death save her space.
• The God of Death plunged into the crack Parr had used after the Cyan Armored Man suggested a method, while he flew into the Cyan White Long Saber and the collapse stopped near the temple.

• Parr dodged their arrows and fled toward a glowing tributary of the Fluorescent River, only to realize he had run straight into the Black Armored Men’s camp.

Parr accepted a contract with the God of Death, Felice Dawn, who suppressed his curse so he could use his abilities again. He fought the Black Armored Men seeking the divine spark, but their leader trapped him and fired a Spirit Tool Cannon as the suppression neared its end.

• Black Armored Men surrounded Parr and demanded the God of Death's divine spark, while the God of Death offered to save him in exchange for a contract.
• Parr accepted the contract, then learned the God of Death intended to merge her Divine Kingdom Space with his Palm Space; he brought her inside and received sixty seconds of curse suppression.
• Parr restored himself to Peak Silver, charged the Black Armored Men, and shattered their battle formation with his Demon-Breaking Flame Battle Qi.
• The Black Armored Men burned their lives to trap Parr in the Black Bird Battle Formation while their leader escaped to a ship and aimed its Spirit Tool Cannon at him.
• Parr used a hundred Fireball Spells to break free, but the cannon fired a white beam into the smoke surrounding him.

Parr escaped the collapsing riverbank by striking the short Black Armored Man, but was swept into an underground river and drifted for half a day. A Miao fished him out near Rain Harbor Town and carried him to the Villain Tavern, where she decided to keep him as family.

• Parr drifted through the underground river for half a day, conserving his strength until the current carried him downstream.
• A Miao caught Parr while fishing near Rain Harbor Town and carried him back to the Villain Tavern.
• The Villain Boss examined Parr and told the tavern patrons to look for his family, but A Miao took Parr away, insisting that what she fished up belonged to her.

After Parr died, he discovered that the God of Death’s Divine Kingdom had merged with his Palm Space to form the Palm God Kingdom, and he returned to his body with his curse suppressed. When he entered the kingdom again to help the God of Death, a Demon Soul resembling Uncle John chased them, and the chapter ended as the nature of the God of Death’s harmful Black Mark was explained.

Parr used the Black Short Sword to free John’s soul from its Demon Mark, allowing it to pass on, and learned that a leak in the God of Death’s sealed godhead was creating Demon Souls. After deciding to handle them himself, he demanded a cure for his curse and punished the God of Death when she refused to help.

• Parr recovered the Black Short Sword and used it to fend off a Demon Soul while asking the God of Death whether Demon Souls could be restored.

• The God of Death regained her adult form but discovered Parr had taken control of her Divine Kingdom Space, while her strength remained greatly diminished.

• Parr decided the God of Death was his only hope of lifting the curse and entered the Palm God Kingdom in his soul state.
• Parr retrieved the Book of Death and offered to return it if the God of Death explained how to remove his curse, but she refused.

Parr learned that raising Talent Prompt Wake-Up to level five could help break the God of Death’s curse, and forced her to reveal a potion recipe and promise further help. He still lacked the Mental Energy Points and ingredients needed to upgrade the Talent, so he turned to the Demon Souls produced by Palm God Kingdom.

• Parr tied up the God of Death and used freshly grilled meat to coax her into explaining how to remove his curse.
• The God of Death said Parr had to raise Talent Prompt Wake-Up to the peak of mortals, level five, and offered to help him break the curse afterward.
• Parr pressured the God of Death into giving him a Magic Potion Recipe for raising the Talent to level five.
• Parr and the God of Death signed a written contract to coexist peacefully and refrain from harming each other.
• Parr realized he lacked enough Mental Energy Points and could not identify ingredients in the recipe, so he killed a Demon Soul for its Energy Points and noticed the Book of Death might contain more souls.

Parr freed souls from the Book of Death to gain Mental Energy, discovered a Demonization Talent and a mysterious bell, then met A Miao and learned how she came to live alone. A Miao began explaining her past as she and Parr headed out to fish.

• Parr could not wake A Miao and wondered whether a bloodline conflict had caused her sleep.

Parr heard Bucktooth’s story and learned that he wanted to become an adventurer to avenge his parents, who were killed by the Dog Head Gang. As rumors of the Dawn Marquis’s death and Black Sun Dawn’s injury unsettled the territory, Villain Boss agreed to protect a young master in Dawn City and learned that the Dog Head Gang planned a major move.

In Dawn Castle, Black Night Dawn received a coded message and celebrated with the Knights supporting him as rival forces gathered for a coming operation.

• Black Night Dawn received a coded message announcing that dawn was approaching, then raised a toast to the Knights and celebrated their expected success.
