The Purple Gold Divine Palace sent Tian Shu and the 327 ships of the Heavenly Punishment Fleet to destroy the [Vessel of Ascension]. Lin Yuan chose to meet them with boarding combat, and the chapter ends as the God-Awakened Army storms through portals into the enemy ships.

• The purple-gold eye learned that its [Divine Outpost] had been destroyed and ordered Tian Shu to erase the approaching fleet and its homeworld from the star chart.

• Lin Yuan appeared between Meng Ao and the guards, absorbed their scythes into a Taiji Diagram, and prepared to test his Life and Death Dao against them.

Lin Yuan used his Life-and-Death Chessboard to annihilate the twelve Heavenly Punishment Divine Guards, then faced the enraged Purple Gold God-King as he descended in his true form. The God-King’s palm strike drew on the entire Divine Kingdom, and Lin Yuan’s chessboard began to crack under the world’s rejection.

• Lin Yuan transformed the battlefield into a Life-and-Death Chessboard and turned the twelve Heavenly Punishment Divine Guards into pieces subject to his rules.

Lin Yuan transformed the Vessel of Ascension into a self-sustaining mobile world and set out to conquer other World Nodes, beginning with the Asura Realm. When its inhabitants challenged the ark with a giant blood-colored axe, Lin Yuan accepted and sent Meng Ao to answer them.

• Lin Yuan accepted the challenge and ordered Meng Ao to lead their response.

Meng Ao and the hundred thousand God-Awakened Army answered Luo Hou’s World-Ending Blood Giant Axe with a vast blade of mortal Killing Intent, earning the Asura’s recognition. After Meng Ao declared that they had come to rule the Asura Realm, Lin Yuan ordered the army to land and begin its conquest.

• Meng Ao gathered the God-Awakened Army’s Killing Intent and struck Luo Hou’s World-Ending Blood Giant Axe with a colossal Demon Saber phantom, shattering both attacks.

• Meng Ao led the hundred thousand soldiers in a vertical descent, and they collided with millions of charging Asura on the plains.

Meng Ao’s God-Awakened Army used disciplined formations to halt the Asura charge and then carved a path through their ranks with the Sharp Gold Formation. As the Modao advance threatened the Eight Asura War Kings, Luo Hou ordered the Eight Royal Guard divisions to attack.

• The God-Awakened Army formed the Mystic Tortoise Iron Wall Formation and stopped the Asuras’ charge, killing attackers with coordinated spear thrusts and ranged fire.

• The Modao ranks advanced in succession, cutting through the Asuras and driving a deep path toward the War Kings.
• Luo Hou ordered the Eight Royal Guard divisions to deploy and break the advancing formation.

• The Modao wielders followed Meng Ao through the breach and renewed their attack.
• Luo Hou marveled at Meng Ao’s personal martial strength and ordered the Eight Kings to join the battle.

Meng Ao accepted Luo Hou’s wager for a duel against the eight Battle Kings, with the Asura Realm’s allegiance and both armies’ survival at stake. As the kings’ combined assault strengthened him instead of breaking him, Meng Ao gathered their power into his Demon Saber and prepared to strike back.

• Luo Hou challenged Meng Ao to fight all eight Battle Kings, wagering the Asura Realm’s submission against the lives of Meng Ao’s army and the Vessel of Ascension.

• Meng Ao opened his eyes, gripped the Demon Saber, and announced Supreme Dominance Over All Under Heaven, I Alone Wield the Saber.

• Luo Hou, the seven other kings, and the Asura warriors swore to follow Lin Yuan and raised their weapons again.

• The Judgement legion unleashed beams that disintegrated many Asura warriors, but the damage intensified the survivors’ battle intent.
• Luo Hou destroyed the defensive satellite and charged through the deadly fire toward a Judgement flagship.

Luo Hou and the Asuras turned the Mechanical God Nation’s attacks into fuel for their chaotic evolution, driving the Father of All Machines into fear and forcing it to retreat to the Source of Logic.

• The Father of All Machines ordered its forces back to the Source of Logic to form a final defense.
• The Vessel of Ascension pierced the outer defenses and sped toward the shielded core planet without firing a weapon.

Lin Yuan destroyed the Father of All Machines and claimed its Absolute Calculation Source Core, which let Luo Bing ascend and rebuild the captured machines into a new army. With his three expeditionary forces taking shape, Lin Yuan set the Vessel of Ascension’s next course for the Pantheon.

• Lin Yuan surveyed the Great Dao Map and ordered Luo Bing to set course for the Pantheon.

Lin Yuan sent Luo Bing and the [Mechanical God Army] to infiltrate the Pantheon and challenge its gods by creating a new faith centered on revelation, wisdom, and order. On Holy Light Star, the [Lord of Dawn]'s faith began to weaken as the new revelations spread, though the larger struggle remained unfinished.

• Luo Bing explained that the Pantheon's worlds were defended by a Spiritual Barrier formed from the faith of their believers, prompting Lin Yuan to reject a direct military assault.

• Luo Bing sent the [Sequence Ones] Legion and [Truth Judgement] Fleet to infiltrate the Pantheon and spread revelations of a new god who offered knowledge and order.
• On Holy Light Star, believers began receiving visions of the wider universe and the ice-blue-eyed god, while practical revelations helped the oppressed improve their lives.
• The [Mechanical God Army] covertly manipulated Holy Light Star's conditions and transmitted information, causing the [Lord of Dawn]'s divine power to decline.
• Luo Bing reported that the [Lord of Dawn]'s faith anchor on Holy Light Star was expected to collapse within a month, and Lin Yuan noted that the gods would not fall easily.
