Chapter Summaries

Lan Mu summoned Xina to hunt monsters and spread a prophecy that the Black Dragon would save humanity. Xina arrived during the USA’s decisive battle, leaving the military stunned as she began fighting the monsters.

• Lan Mu summoned Xina and Elise, then told Xina to kill monsters around the world without hiding her power or harming humans.
• Xina agreed, transformed into a dragon, and flew overseas while Lan Mu guided her toward monster sightings.
• Shen Wei announced that the Black Dragon would descend, and Lan Mu used the Power of Faith to spread the prophecy worldwide.
• The USA’s military prepared for a decisive battle against the monsters, confident that its forces could win without divine help.
• Xina descended onto the battlefield, killed a monster, and attacked the others while the soldiers recognized the prophecy had come true.

Under Lan Mu’s guidance, Xina defeated the monsters in the USA and then flew south to rescue South America. After she wiped out the monsters across the Americas, she headed onward to provide support elsewhere.

• Xina killed twelve of the twenty monsters attacking the USA, and the rest fled as the military watched.
• After the Aerospace Carrier’s Plasma Cannon killed two monsters, Xina finished off the remaining enemies and flew away.
• Lan Mu directed Xina south, where she arrived to support the allied forces fighting in South America.
• Xina slaughtered the monsters that had trapped humanity near the Amazon, chasing down the survivors and securing the Americas.

Xina swept through South Africa, Europe, and Africa, rescuing resistance zones before the US military could arrive. Lan Mu secretly manipulated the US military’s movements and weapons, leaving the USA unable to claim credit as Xina became the world’s expected savior.

• After the black dragon saved South America, the US military redirected its forces toward Europe and Africa while investigators confirmed that people worldwide had heard a prophecy of her arrival.
• Lan Mu asked Xina to clear South Africa quickly, and Xina used her human form and the spell Black Dragon Break to destroy the monsters there.
• When Xina reached North Africa, she defeated the monsters before the US mechs could finish fighting them, and the general ordered a Plasma Cannon fired at her.
• The Plasma Cannon shut down on its own, allowing Xina to escape, while Lan Mu secretly controlled the US Aerospace Carriers and delayed satellite images.
• As the US military rushed between regions, Xina repeatedly arrived first and eliminated the monsters, causing resistance zones worldwide to look to her for rescue.

Lan Mu sent Elise to investigate the monsters’ origins and discovered that a mysterious pyramid beneath the Bermuda region accelerated the evolution of ocean microorganisms into monsters. He suspected the pyramid was a Contained Object affecting parallel worlds and triggering this world’s apocalypse.

• Lan Mu had Elise search the oceans while Xina fought the monsters, and her Zerg found that the monsters were being raised in the seas rather than born in the Pacific.
• Elise traced their origins to a deep-sea site in the Atlantic southeast of the USA, where a floating pyramid lay beneath the Sargasso Sea near Bermuda.
• Elise’s Zerg could not affect the pyramid, but they found that microorganisms around it were evolving at an accelerated rate into complex creatures and monsters.
• Lan Mu concluded that the pyramid had turned pollution-fueled microbial growth into the monster crisis and wondered whether it existed across parallel worlds.
• Lan Mu suspected that CANC’s environmental efforts had delayed the pyramid’s activation on Earth by limiting pollution.

Lan Mu discovered that the indestructible Doom Pyramid could trigger different disasters and tried to stop its monster outbreaks by cleansing pollution. When that intervention failed, the Pyramid rapidly intensified global warming, leaving humanity facing a new potential extinction event.

• After the Black Dragon ended the monster rampages, officials tried to capture Shen Wei, but he escaped by teleportation and the authorities began suppressing the Supreme Divine Religion.
• An angel appeared above the ocean, circled the Earth in a minute, and cleansed the oceans, convincing officials that Shen Wei had been telling the truth about the gods.
• Lan Mu tested his transformations and Contained Objects against the Bermuda Pyramid, but nothing could affect it, so he treated the crisis as a rehearsal for protecting Earth.
• Lan Mu used holy light and Elise’s Zerg to remove pollutants and microorganisms around the Bermuda Triangle, and no new monsters appeared for a while.
• When Lan Mu ordered Elise to clean every ocean, the Pyramid accelerated the greenhouse effect, causing temperatures to rise and Antarctica to melt despite Elise absorbing heat.

Lan Mu discovered that the Doom Pyramid had begun a global flood by melting glaciers and driving torrential rain, and he warned Shen Wei to alert governments and prepare shelters. Governments confirmed that the flood could devastate civilization, but they had no reliable way to protect most people.

• Lan Mu saw black storm clouds spreading worldwide and realized the pyramid’s new attack could cause a Great Flood.
• Lan Mu told Shen Wei that glaciers were melting and tsunamis would follow, then ordered him to warn governments and prepare shelters.
• Shen Wei alerted the Supreme Divine Religion’s disciples, who spread the warning, while Shen Wei went to the government.
• Governments confirmed the global storm and began mobilizing ships, shelters, and evacuation plans.
• Officials learned that floodwaters might peak at seven thousand meters and that underground shelters could save only a fraction of humanity.

As torrential rain and tsunamis devastated the world, Lan Mu struggled to protect humanity without triggering a new apocalypse from the Doom Pyramid. He left Elise to contain the Southern Hemisphere’s tsunamis while he headed north to seek further countermeasures.

• The military and the Supreme Divine Religion coordinated evacuations as flooding trapped civilians, and Shen Wei rescued people with Summoning Magic while sending his family to a shelter.
• Soldiers deployed mechs to clear routes to underground shelters, but many people remained beyond rescue as the general asked Shen Wei whether the church and God were real.
• Lan Mu tried to counter the disaster with frozen glaciers, angel-made seawalls, and Elise consuming seawater, but found each measure too limited to stop the global floods.
• After tsunamis struck Australia and overwhelmed its cities, Lan Mu decided to create high ground and ordered Elise to mass-produce Zerg to contain the Southern Hemisphere’s waves.
• Lan Mu told Elise to keep some tsunamis passing so the Doom Pyramid would not switch apocalypses, then considered involving the Blue White Society, testing Tang Xiaohai’s contract, and strengthening the Flood Dragon.

Shen Wei received Diana and a vast vampire legion to help evacuate civilians as rising floods threatened the inland regions. The Supreme Divine Religion raised a mountain basin around the western plateau and transported people inside, but a colossal tsunami arrived before the rescue was complete.

• Shen Wei expanded the rescue effort after Lan Mu promised reinforcements, and Diana arrived with a legion of vampires summoned through red rings of light.
• Diana made clones to assist the evacuation, then led the original vampires away while her descendants’ clones remained with Shen Wei.
• The Western Military District reported that an angel had raised the land around the plateau into a sealed basin seven thousand meters above sea level.
• Diana and her vampires used Summoning Magic and linked clones to transport groups of civilians and supplies inside the basin.
• The military used mechs to demolish buildings and slow the overflowing Yellow River while rescuers continued evacuating civilians.
• A towering tsunami approached as the rescue remained only halfway complete, and Elise could only attend to the Southern Hemisphere.

As the tsunami closed in on the last survivors in Shaanxi, Lan Mu exhausted himself in Flood Dragon form trying to hold back the waves while the vampires teleported civilians away. Saving people caused a golden substance to grow inside him, triggering his Dragon Transformation; the chapter ended with Lan Mu gaining direct control over water and clearing the storm clouds.

• The tsunami trapped two hundred million people in a shrinking area as the vampires and military raced to evacuate them.
• Shen Wei rallied the crowd by declaring that the divine religion would save them, while Lan Mu struggled to hold back the waves from afar.
• Lan Mu noticed golden substance growing inside his horn whenever the vampires sent another batch of people away, and realized he could absorb it.
• With the remaining survivors about to be crushed, Lan Mu absorbed the golden substance, pushed back the tsunami, and scattered the storm clouds.
• Lightning struck Lan Mu, his horn shattered, and he transformed into a much larger true dragon with two horns and direct control over water.

After saving Xia Country’s population from the flood, Lan Mu transformed into a true dragon and decided that Xia Country would unify the devastated world. The survivors gathered in Dragon Valley worshipped him as the Guardian Divine Dragon, but famine and collapse threatened them, so Lan Mu promised supplies and industrial support while preparing for dangers ahead.

• Lan Mu completed his Dragon Transformation after absorbing merit, gained greatly strengthened powers, and discovered his control over seawater reached roughly one million square kilometers.
• Lan Mu assessed the worldwide survivors and decided Xia Country should unify the planet after the disaster.
• Shen Wei reported that the six hundred million people evacuated to the plateau had converted to the Supreme Divine Religion and named the refuge zone Dragon Valley.
• Lan Mu identified himself to Shen Wei as Ao Mu, a Special Envoy, and learned that the temporary government faced severe shortages and possible famine.
• Lan Mu promised the Blood Red Legion would provide supplies and industrial support so the survivors could restore production.

Lan Mu returned to Earth and planned a relief effort for six hundred million flood refugees, realizing the Gourmet Table could provide food if meals were carefully controlled. He then asked Bai Ze what the Blue White Society had learned about the Deep Sea Great Prison.

• Lan Mu found the Void Cloud and traveled through a Void Passage to Shadow Island, where Bai Ze told him twelve days had passed and Hiyori Nation's situation was known worldwide.
• Lan Mu ordered Bai Ze to prepare supplies for six hundred million people, and Bai Ze estimated that the Blue White Society could gather enough to sustain them for a month within three days.
• Bai Ze explained that the Gourmet Table could make food from ingredients anywhere on Earth, while its tests showed that frequent use encouraged gluttony and overeating could cause health problems.
• Lan Mu decided to use the Gourmet Table to produce balanced relief food and told Bai Ze to prepare clothes, tools, seeds, and other supplies within one day.
• Lan Mu asked Bai Ze what he had learned about the Deep Sea Great Prison after the Blue White Society took over CANC's base.

Lan Mu redirected Blue White Society’s development away from environmental damage and prepared to move research into the parallel world. Back in Dragon Valley, he dispersed the rain clouds and gave Shen Wei King of Medicine's Golden Needle to treat the sick, while keeping its possible hidden cost under the Society’s control.

• Lan Mu warned Bai Ze to halt environmentally damaging development and research in controlled countries, and arranged to relocate research institutes to the parallel world.
• Lan Mu returned to Dragon Valley, sent Diana and the others through the Void Cloud, and transformed into a dragon to scatter the clouds and restore sunlight.
• Lan Mu gave Shen Wei King of Medicine's Golden Needle, and Shen Wei used it to cure a severely ill patient.
• Shen Wei treated the sick in an orderly line as recovered survivors and soldiers helped organize the crowd.
• Lan Mu continued dispersing the clouds while considering the golden needle’s possible undetectable side effects and decided it must remain in the Blue White Society’s hands.

Lan Mu and the Supreme Divine Religion helped survivors in Dragon Valley recover after the global flood, providing supplies and miraculous meals while organizing them to rebuild. Lan Mu then brought survivors from South Africa to Dragon Valley, beginning the mass gathering of humanity there.

• The Blood Queen Legion delivered millions of crates of tools and supplies to Dragon Valley, and Diana arranged for the survivors to register and begin rebuilding.
• When the survivors had no food, Lan Mu gave Diana a magical dining table that produced seafood meals in lunchboxes, feeding the hungry people.
• Lan Mu left a small number of vampires to supervise Dragon Valley and went to find Elise in South Africa, where she had stopped the tsunami and was receiving strange offerings from survivors.
• Lan Mu asked Elise to create flying insect transports and used them to carry South African survivors toward Dragon Valley.
• The next morning, the flying insects arrived in Dragon Valley under Lan Mu's escort and released tens of millions of Black people into the settlement.

The Divine Church welcomed millions of survivors while Shen Wei organized cultural integration, and a flooded underground shelter in the USA faced starvation, failing oxygen, and a terrifying disturbance. After a powerful figure dragged the shelter through the floodwaters, Lan Mu appeared at its entrance and welcomed its occupants to Dragon Valley.

• Shen Wei and his disciples began propaganda and education efforts to integrate the newly arrived survivors.
• USA military officials rationed food in an overcrowded Grand Canyon shelter as its oxygen system failed and they prepared to send out a diver.
• The diver heard destructive activity beyond the shelter's valve, and the shelter shook as something dug it out and dragged it through the floodwaters.
• The shelter stopped moving, and an immense force opened its exit hatch despite the general and the occupants fearing a monster would kill them.
• The general saw a robed young man at the doorway, who welcomed the shelter's occupants to Dragon Valley.

Lan Mu completed the rescue and relocation of survivors from the parallel world, then returned to Earth and insisted on taking a vacation rather than handling the Blue White Society’s latest crisis. Bai Ze took charge of confronting the powerful British expounder known as the Lich King and sent Jiadai to Europe with the Grim Reaper’s Black Book.

• Shen Wei and the Divine Religion welcomed survivors from shelters around the world into Dragon Valley, where they registered, received supplies, and began rebuilding their lives.
• Lan Mu left Bai Ze, Shen Wei, and Elise to manage the parallel world and its ongoing apocalypse, then returned to Shadow Island after six days there.
• Lan Mu refused to hear about the Blue White Society’s bad news and ordered Bai Ze to solve the crisis himself while Lan Mu took a vacation.
• Bai Ze learned from Ma Xiaoou that a British expounder using a powerful Contained Object had broken through five defensive lines and commanded undead forces.
• Bai Ze sent Jiadai and a thousand elite vampires to Europe, directing Ma Xiaoou to retreat to Sicily and use Jiadai’s ability to discover the enemy’s true name.

While Lan Mu trained his Spiritual Power in seclusion, the Blue White Society lost Natopa Island to the Lich King and four other Explainators. Bai Ze attacked the island with a space-based weapon, which killed the Lich King instantly, though his helmet remained intact.

• Lan Mu strengthened his Spiritual Power by separating the souls he had collected and learned the basics of mental control.
• Fang Moqi told Bai Ze that the enemy had captured Natopa Island, so he and the trainees had retreated to sea while the vampires stayed behind.
• Bai Ze used satellite surveillance to discover that the Lich King and his undead were slaughtering the recruits left on the island.
• Bai Ze identified the Lich King’s helmet as his Contained Object and deployed a space-based weapon against him.
• The weapon crushed and vaporized the Lich King, leaving his helmet undamaged, and the other Explainators realized that he had been killed instantly.

The Lich King survived the space-based weapon by using his armor as a new body and forced the other expositors into a raid against the Blue White Society. He led the team toward Shadow Island, where he believed the enemy headquarters was located.

• A space-based weapon killed the Lich King’s body and nearly destroyed the island, while Deceive Self erased a second attack by shutting his eyes and ears.
• The Lich King rose again inside his armor and said he had gained a second life and vastly increased strength.
• The Lich King ordered the others to attack the Blue White Society headquarters, but they refused and argued that their forces were too weak.
• The Lich King tormented three expositors with dark matter until they submitted, then used Deceive Self as an invulnerable human shield.
• The expositors asked how they could find the headquarters, and the Lich King said the enemy was on Shadow Island.

The Lich King led his group toward Shadow Island while Ma Xiaoou and Kashii Kayo attacked EUCB strongholds in the Southern Bavarian Mountains. Bai Ze realized the enemy was targeting the Blue White Society’s headquarters, but the Lich King began breaking through its defenses as his face twisted beneath his mask.

• The Lich King fused the undead into a Bone Dragon and flew east with his group, prompting the EUCB and Bai Ze to track their movements.
• Ma Xiaoou’s group reached an EUCB stronghold, where an Environmental Modification Potion turned nearby people and terrain into mud, but Kashii Kayo wrote 174 enemy names in the Grim Reaper’s Black Book and they died as they fled.
• Ma Xiaoou’s forces entered the stronghold and obtained information about other EUCB bases, while he predicted the Blue White Society could soon wipe out the organization’s remaining strongholds.
• Bai Ze confirmed the Lich King was heading for Shadow Island and prepared the island’s defenses, believing the enemy meant to trade its home for the Blue White Society’s headquarters.
• The Lich King froze the surrounding sea and fleet, then repeatedly struck Shadow Island’s hidden barrier with an Ice Dragon Spear as a glacial vortex drained its energy.
• As the Lich King attacked, his face beneath the mask twisted severely.

The Lich King broke through Shadow Island’s barrier and advanced toward Moon Lake, demanding to see Gabriel as the island’s defenders fought back. Xina’s assault faltered when the Lich King revealed soul-based powers, but Bibidi arrived and punched through his armor.

• Bai Ze ordered the non-combatants evacuated to Shambhala as the barrier cracked and Shadow Island reappeared.
• Xina challenged the Lich King, but Jinx’s bombardment damaged the Bone Dragon and part of the island without stopping him.
• The Lich King advanced through the vampire unit while undead members of the fleet emerged from the ice and attacked the island.
• Xina fought the Lich King as a black dragon, but his frost and soul-based powers made her scream in pain.
• Bibidi teleported in and punched through the Lich King’s armor.

Bibidi and Babidi fought the Lich King, who trapped them in a gourd and revealed that he was CANC Herald Zero Twenty-Four, seeking death before his Contained Object overtook him. As Zero Twenty-Four froze Shadow Island to draw out Gabriel, a masked figure appeared and told him that Special Envoys stood above Heralds.

• Bibidi joined Bai Ze’s fight and attacked the Lich King alongside Babidi, but the Lich King trapped both demons in a gourd.
• The Lich King explained that he wanted Gabriel to kill him before he lost control of his powerful Contained Object, and identified himself as CANC Herald Zero Twenty-Four.
• Zero Twenty-Four froze Bai Ze’s clone and advanced toward Moon Lake while Bai Ze asked Jiadai to use true-name erasure against him.
• Jiadai found that Zero Twenty-Four’s true name was ineffective, and he froze all of Shadow Island while demanding that Gabriel appear.
• A masked figure emerged from the ice atop the mountain and told Zero Twenty-Four that Special Envoys ranked above Heralds.
