Luo Sifeng learned that Lei Sijing Batlei’s younger sister had arrived at Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, raising the Four Divine Beasts Clan’s hopes of deterring the Eight Great Clans. The four clan chiefs gathered to discuss the clan’s survival.

• Lian Qiu refused Jiadong’s offer of a better courtyard and stayed near Lin Lei and Zan, asking Jiadong to provide good food and useful things.

• Luo Sifeng considered that Lei Wen’s power might deter the Eight Great Clans and summoned the other three clan chiefs.
• The White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise clan chiefs arrived, and the four leaders sat down together.

Luo Sifeng and the other Four Divine Beasts Clan chiefs learned that Aiken was the niece of the Sovereign Lei Sijing Batlei and decided to win her favor. They visited the Baken clan, where they showered Aiken with gifts and flattery while Lin Lei watched in disbelief.

• Luo Sifeng told the other three clan chiefs about Aiken’s connection to Lei Sijing Batlei, and they debated the risks of courting her.

• Lian Qiu agreed to visit Te’s father at his city lord’s manor rather than remain with the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

Luo Sifeng’s ship was ambushed by the Eight Great Clans, and his claim that Lian Qiu and Zan were protected by powerful rulers failed to stop the attack. Luo Sifeng fought Bart and Te while the Seven-Star Demons targeted Lin Lei and Beirut, leaving Lian Qiu, Zan, and Aiken conspicuously untouched.

• A sudden Power Wave tore through the ship’s protective barrier, and Lin Lei transformed to shield Beirut as the passengers emerged outside.
• Bart and Te confronted Luo Sifeng with eight peak Six-Star Fiends and seven Seven-Star Demons, intending to kill him.
• Luo Sifeng warned the attackers that Lian Qiu was Lei Wen Bart’s sister and Zan was Beirut Te’s son, but Bart and Te decided he was bluffing.
• Luo Sifeng unleashed Sovereign power and fought Bart and Te, who also used Sovereign power, while the Seven-Star Demons attacked Lin Lei and Beirut.
• The Seven-Star Demons deliberately avoided Lian Qiu, Zan, and Aiken as their attacks closed in on Lin Lei and the others.

Raven visited Beirut decades earlier and revealed his Taotie bloodline, asking him to investigate it so Raven’s family might awaken the same power. Beirut’s research had made no progress, and the chapter left him examining Raven’s strange blood while Raven’s immense strength and efforts to protect Avril were discussed.

• Beirut confronted Raven for giving Avril a Sovereign projection scroll, two Sovereign Artifacts, and abundant Sovereign’s Might.
• Raven asked Beirut about his decades-long research into the dark-red drop of blood.
• Beirut explained that Raven had revealed his Taotie bloodline decades earlier, including its ability to devour the dead and steal their powers and talents.
• Raven’s strength was described: he had three Paragon clones and could wield eleven portions of Willpower at his peak.
• Beirut admitted that Raven’s blood defied the laws of nature, leaving his investigation stumped.

Beirut failed to analyze Raven’s otherworldly Taotie bloodline, so Raven resolved to keep pursuing an all-element Paragon despite the universe’s resistance. Raven also advised Beirut to offer the Four Divine Beasts Clan limited help, while insisting that the clan needed to build its own strength.

• Beirut told Raven that thousands of Magic Arrays and Sovereign’s Might had failed to reveal anything about the Taotie bloodline, leaving Raven to consider supporting his family by conventional means.

• Beirut praised Linley and mentioned Bebe and Avril’s closeness to him, while Raven criticized the clan leaders for relying on outsiders instead of strengthening themselves.

Raven agreed to help the Four Divine Beasts Clan but left the matter to Beirut, while Avril refused Gaiselersen’s pleas to intervene. After more than a decade of persecution, Gaiselersen arrived at Azure Mansion with Linley, Dilia, Bebe, and Avril, where Bebe rushed to Beirut and complained about the Eight Great Clans.

• Raven told Beirut to handle the Four Divine Beasts Clan’s situation as he saw fit, then disappeared to study the Laws of Wind.

• Bebe ran into Beirut’s arms outside the prefectural castle and asked him to stand up for them, recounting how the Eight Great Clans’ Seven-star Demons had attacked them.

At Azure Mansion, Beirut welcomed Gaiselersen and heard his plea to save the Four Divine Beasts Clan from the Eight Great Clans. Beirut invoked Hell’s rules against interfering in other prefects’ grudges, then began to qualify his refusal, leaving Gaiselersen hopeful.

• Beirut soothed Bebe after hearing his complaint and welcomed Gaiselersen, Linley, Dilia, and Avril into Azure Mansion.
• At the evening banquet, Gaiselersen knelt before Beirut and begged him to save the Four Divine Beasts Clan from the Eight Great Clans’ blockade and attacks.
• Gaiselersen appealed to Beirut’s old ties with the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns and offered the clan’s lifelong loyalty in exchange for help.
• Beirut said prefects could not casually interfere in one another’s grudges, then added, “However,” prompting Gaiselersen to raise his head with renewed hope.

Beirut gave Gaiselersen a scroll bearing a wisp of Sovereign's power and claimed it ended the conflict between the Eight Great Clans and the Four Divine Beasts Clan. Gaiselersen left Azure Mansion elated, carrying the scroll back to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range to announce the news.

• Beirut revealed that a Sovereign had intervened and showed Gaiselersen a scroll radiating Sovereign's might.
• Beirut told Gaiselersen the Sovereign had ordered the feud between the Eight Great Clans and the Four Divine Beasts Clan to end, and warned him to use the scroll if the attacks continued.

• Raven secretly listened from a hidden void as Avril threatened to strip his interspatial ring bare.
• Beirut revealed that Raven had ten divine clones, and Avril sat stunned.

Raven awakened the death element and created his Death God Clone, completing his set of eleven divine clones. Their completion triggered the Laws and profound mysteries of all eleven elements to begin fusing inside his soul, an unprecedented event that defied the rules of the Coiling Dragon Universe.

• Raven used Taotie to devour corpses infused with the Edicts of Death until he awakened his talent for the death element.
• Raven consumed the insights of countless death practitioners and formed a death Lowgod divine spark, splitting his soul to create his Death God Clone.
• Raven gathered his divine clones and realized he had finally completed all eleven.
• The eleven Laws and profound mysteries began resonating and fusing in Raven's soul, leaving him stunned by the unprecedented eleven-element fusion.

Raven discovered that fusing all eleven laws could create Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, but the attempt collapsed because his laws had unequal strengths and left him injured. He resolved to raise every law to Paragon by devouring corpses, setting his sights on surpassing Orloff and the Rule Sovereigns.

• Raven watched the eleven laws begin to fuse into a speck of chaotic power that he identified as Hongmeng Spiritual Energy.
• The fusion collapsed because his Death law was far weaker than his Paragon-level laws, and the backlash injured Raven's earth divine clone.
• Raven realized all eleven laws had to reach the same level, ideally Paragon, for a successful fusion.
• Raven ordered Whitey to tell the Sovereign Army commanders in the Earth, Water, and Fire Divine Planes to collect corpses associated with the remaining seven attributes.
• Raven recalled his ten divine clones, summoned the Taotie phantom, and began devouring corpses to pursue eleven-element Paragon.

Commanders across the Divine Planes began gathering divine-beast corpses at Raven’s order, leaving the Sovereigns puzzled by his motives. In the Water Divine Plane, a Sovereign projection appeared over the mass of collected sea-beast corpses.

• Harris ordered the Fire Divine Plane’s troops to collect corpses of divine beasts outside the earth, water, fire, and wind attributes, and threatened them with death if they failed.
• Harris and other army commanders speculated about Raven’s purpose, but none guessed that he intended to eat the corpses.
• The Fire Divine Plane’s Sovereigns discussed the widespread slaughter and wondered whether Raven had discovered a secret of heaven and earth.
• Burton directed Highgods to gather and process sea-beast corpses in the Water Divine Plane despite resenting the work.
• The seawater stopped moving, a crushing pressure forced the soldiers to their knees, and a towering Sovereign projection appeared.

Burton learned that the Water Chief God would not interfere with Raven’s order to collect divine beast corpses, while Augusta and Orloff each dismissed Raven’s actions for their own reasons. Raven’s collection continued as his powerful observers remained unaware of his true purpose.

• The Water Chief God questioned Burton about gathering divine beast corpses, then accepted that Raven had ordered it and vanished without stopping the work.
• Burton ordered his subordinates back to collecting corpses and suspected the pile held a secret, but chose not to investigate.
• Augusta raged over Raven’s earlier humiliation, then convinced himself Raven was trying to extract beast bloodlines and ordered his followers to ignore him.
• Orloff heard a report about Raven’s corpse collection while dissecting a divine beast, judged Raven to be taking a shortcut, and decided not to interfere.

Raven devoured vast numbers of divine beast corpses to master the Laws and Edicts, becoming a Paragon in every element and rule. After his final Death mystery fused, he achieved Death Paragon, completing his transformation as the universe began to strain against his power.

• Raven ordered Whitey to leave him alone with the corpses and rings gathered by commanders across the Divine Planes, then used his Taotie bloodline to devour them and rapidly master Death mysteries.
• Raven became a Death-type Demigod, then a God and Highgod, while Doge, Jenny, Avril, and Beirut reacted to the startling displays of power.
• Over the next several thousand years, Raven’s armies slaughtered divine beast clans across the planes to supply his cultivation, alarming Orloff and Augusta.
• Raven’s Darkness, Wind, Destruction, Life, and Fate clones reached Paragon, stacking thirteen extra portions of Willpower within his original body.
• Raven devoured the remaining death-element beast corpses, and after three thousand years of seclusion, fully fused the final Death mystery and became a Death Paragon.
