Chapter Summaries

Silver King Ismen unleashed his Divine-Blooded Tier Suppression, weakening Bai Xiaowen’s army, then personally attacked after transforming into his true demonic form. Bai Xiaowen’s soldiers blocked Ismen’s first strike, but Ismen charged Skeleton Phalanx Number Eight again and challenged them to stop him.

• Ismen assessed Bai Xiaowen’s unexpected strength and unleashed his Tier Suppression across the battlefield, weakening the soldiers and shrinking the Spirit Force Giants.

• Skeleton Phalanx Number Eight formed a fortified wall that blocked Ismen’s demonic claw, surprising both armies.
• Ismen transformed into his twelve-meter Supreme Demon King form and strode like a phantom to Skeleton Phalanx Number Eight.

Ismen shattered the Eighth and Ninth Phalanxes, forcing Bai Xiaowen to unleash the militia’s full strength against him. Two colossal Spirit Force Giants took shape, and Bai Xiaowen revealed that Ismen had entered the Voidfall Immortal Formation’s death zone.

• Ismen broke the Eighth and Ninth Phalanxes with a stomp and a punch, allowing the demons to overwhelm their exposed Skeleton Soldiers.

• Ismen dismissed the giants as too slow to hit him, but Bai Xiaowen told him he had entered the Voidfall Immortal Formation’s death zone.

Bai Xiaowen used the Voidfall Immortal Formation to suppress Ismen and destroy all three of his hearts, leaving him near death. Before Bai Xiaowen could strike Ismen’s brain, Rochelle arrived and disrupted the formation.

• The Voidfall Immortal Formation evolved, and its Death Zones weakened Ismen and restricted his movements.

• Rochelle appeared beside the severely injured Ismen, and Ismen recognized her.

Thinker Rochelle arrived at Silver City during the final battle and joined Ismen against Bai Xiaowen, whose forces were nearly exhausted. Bai Xiaowen revealed that he had prepared a counterattack, and the chapter ended as lightning chains spread across the battlefield.

• Thinker Rochelle explained that she had hurried from Calamity City to witness the battle and agreed to help Ismen defeat Bai Xiaowen.
• Rochelle revealed that she had no true body and had divided herself into three Incarnations, while Bai Xiaowen judged that her current Incarnation remained a formidable opponent.

• Bai Xiaowen left the protection of the formation and faced Rochelle, warning that she was about to lose one-third of herself.
• Bai Xiaowen summoned Rageclaw and a pack of collared demon beasts, then triggered a vast grid of lightning chains across the battlefield.

Bai Xiaowen trapped Rochelle inside a Lightning Magic Formation and used a Position Swap and Lightning Needle to attack him, but the needle barely injured him. Rochelle countered with Chaos Arrows and then unleashed three Rings of Death, while Bai Xiaowen searched for openings to evade the area attack.

• Bai Xiaowen sealed the battlefield against teleportation and swapped places with a flying sword to stab Rochelle from behind.

• Rochelle cast three Rings of Death across the battlefield, and Bai Xiaowen identified subtle gaps in the spreading rings as possible escape routes.

Bai Xiaowen killed Rochelle with Godslayer and turned to finish the gravely wounded Ismen. Ismen tried to bargain for his life by offering Demon God's remains.

Bai Xiaowen killed Silver King Ismen and secured victory for humanity, while Kelowen revealed she and her late teacher had prepared something against him. The chapter left Bai Xiaowen confronting Kelowen as she begged him to leave their world.

• Bai Xiaowen realized Ismen likely possessed a divine skull and learned from Kelowen that she could locate it after Ismen died.
• Kelowen promised to use divination to find Ismen's skull, and Bai Xiaowen drove his spear through Ismen's brain.

• Bai Xiaowen led Kelowen into his White Bone Chariot and confronted her about what she and her late teacher had prepared against him.
• Kelowen drew a cracked wand from her robe and begged Hristos to leave their world.

Bai Xiaowen exposed Kelowen’s plan to use the Exile Staff and learned that the third prophecy predicted he would become a new Demon King. Kelowen agreed to divine the Demon God Skull’s location only if Bai Xiaowen left the Dark Age Plane forever, and he refused to give up the world.

• Bai Xiaowen confronted Kelowen after realizing she had considered using the Exile Staff to exile him.
• Bai Xiaowen explained that Kelowen’s lie about knowing only two prophecies revealed the hidden third prophecy, which foretold he would become a new Demon King.

• Bai Xiaowen considered the advantages of ruling the demons and decided that becoming the new Demon King would serve him better than saving humanity.
• Kelowen offered to divine the Demon God Skull’s location if Bai Xiaowen agreed to leave the world forever, but he refused to surrender the Dark Age Plane.

After Ismen’s death, Bai Xiaowen negotiated with Kelowen for control of most of the Dark Age Plane while reserving a safe zone for humans. He then inspected the battlefield spoils, including Rochelle’s Incarnation and its equipment.

• Bai Xiaowen asked Kelowen how Ismen’s death would affect the demons, and Kelowen explained that the world would gradually heal after a Supreme Demon King fell.
• Bai Xiaowen decided to retain control of the conquered territory and negotiate with Kelowen over how much land humans could keep.

• Kelowen agreed to use divination to locate Ismen’s Demon God Skull and to keep their agreement secret while preserving Bai Xiaowen’s image as a savior.
• Bai Xiaowen greeted the kneeling militia, and Kelowen refrained from attacking him despite his apparent weakness.
• The Three Heavenly Kings reported the recovered spoils, including Ismen’s corpse and Rochelle’s Incarnation, whose seven intact purple Epic Tier items were mostly unsuitable for Bai Xiaowen’s forces.

After defeating Silver King Ismen, Bai Xiaowen examined the spoils and discovered both a component of Thinker Rochelle’s dismantled godly artifact and the complete Silver Throne. He claimed the throne’s immense powers and arranged for his undead servants to transport it.

• Bai Xiaowen distributed five pieces of large-body equipment among the Three Heavenly Kings and kept the Spider Demon battle armor in inventory.
• Bai Xiaowen obtained Mind Shackles, a godly artifact component that increased his Spirit Force amplification and could suppress nearby minds.
• Bai Xiaowen examined the twelve Epic Tier items from Silver King Ismen and discovered the Silver Throne, a Command-type godly artifact.
• Bai Xiaowen sat on the Silver Throne and gained its Charisma and Spirit Force benefits, then had the Skeleton Soldiers load it onto the White Bone Chariot.

Bai Xiaowen uncovered a hidden storage space in the Silver Throne and had Kelowen begin divining its location so he could find the Demon God Skull. After claiming Ismen’s loot, he began plundering Silver City while preserving it as the White Phoenix Fief’s base in the Dark Age Plane.

• Bai Xiaowen discovered spatial incantations in a hidden compartment on the Silver Throne and concluded that Ismen’s prized possessions, including the Demon God Skull, were inside a disconnected storage space.
• Bai Xiaowen ordered Kelowen to divine the storage space’s location and promised to expand the human settlement zone by one hundred kilometers for each day she finished early.
• Bai Xiaowen erased the compartment’s spatial incantations, stored the Silver Throne, and received Ismen’s God-Demon Core from Sigrdrifa.
• Bai Xiaowen said Thinker Rochelle would come to him, distributed Ismen’s remaining equipment, and sent the Militia Square Formation home.
• Bai Xiaowen led the Undead Legion into Silver City to seize valuable supplies while ordering them to spare the buildings so he could make the city his fief’s base.

Bai Xiaowen gathered the resources to develop the Three Refinements Method, became king of the newly united human nation, and established New Silver City as his base. Rochelle the Thinker arrived to negotiate, revealing that he and Bai Xiaowen shared an interest in preserving the demons in the world.

• Bai Xiaowen assessed how Alchemy, Artifact Forging, and Talisman Crafting could strengthen his army and himself.
• The humans chose Bai Xiaowen as their first king, and he appointed Kelowen, Herbart, and four military leaders to the Six-Pointed Star council.
• Bai Xiaowen left a Wood Incarnation to serve as king while he moved the Resonance Teleportation Array to Silver City and made it his Main Base.
• The Three Heavenly Kings led the Undead Legion toward the blockade line as Bai Xiaowen founded New Silver City and continued improving his strength.

Bai Xiaowen negotiated with Rochelle over Ismen's God-Demon Core and learned that the Divine Scions carried parts of the fallen Fiend God's remains. Rochelle revealed that his home world was terrifying, but resisted giving Bai Xiaowen more information, leaving Bai Xiaowen to press him about the Core's other uses.

• Rochelle explained that the world's transformation was complete and asked Bai Xiaowen not to destroy, store, or remove Ismen's Demon Core.
• Bai Xiaowen asked about the Demon God Domain, and Rochelle explained that the Fiend God's remains sustained it and that the three Divine Scions could eliminate demons by carrying those remains.
• Rochelle revealed that he possessed the Fiend God's right hand bone, Ismen had held the skull, and Nibroz had both leg bones.
• Bai Xiaowen demanded either Rochelle's Fiend God bone or information about the Divine Scions' origins, threatening to take the God-Demon Core and drive the demons away.
• Rochelle said his original world was incomparably terrifying and refused to provide more details.
• Bai Xiaowen asked Rochelle to explain the God-Demon Core's other uses, and Rochelle had no choice but to consider answering.

Bai Xiaowen forced Rochelle to agree not to devastate the West Continent, then used Ismen’s Demon Core to announce that he had become its new Overlord. As demons rushed to submit or flee east, the Three Heavenly Kings and the Undead Legion guarded the blockade.

• Bai Xiaowen told Rochelle that he could continue his research but must not cause large-scale destruction or reveal his true form, and Rochelle agreed under threat of losing Ismen’s Demon Core.
• Rochelle left the palace as a black raven, and Bai Xiaowen explained to Rageclaw why killing Rochelle’s Incarnation would risk ending communication with the demons and provoking retaliation.
• Bai Xiaowen activated Ismen’s God-Demon Core and broadcast to demons across the West Continent that he had slain Ismen and would purge demons who refused to submit within ten days.
• Demons across the West Continent learned of Ismen’s defeat, and many converged on New Silver City to submit to Bai Xiaowen.
• Other demons tried to escape to the Eastern Continent, but the Three Heavenly Kings and the Undead Legion occupied the blockade and prepared to stop them.

Bai Xiaowen stopped the fleeing demons and forced many to accept the Primordial Covenant, while Pain King Saffron escaped and the King of Pride, Arigante, pledged allegiance. Bai Xiaowen agreed to let Arigante challenge him openly in the Way of Command, then received a message that pleased him.

• The Undead Legion blocked the fleeing demons, and Sigrdrifa persuaded them to go to New Silver City and sign the Primordial Covenant.
• Bai Xiaowen killed a High-Rank Demon Lord with Origin Lightning, frightening the demons into accepting his authority.

• Bai Xiaowen offered Arigante three chances to challenge him openly and warned that he would destroy her soul if she betrayed him.
• A flying crane delivered a message to Bai Xiaowen, and he read it with delight.

After Kelowen divined the likely location of the Demon God Skull, Bai Xiaowen took her to search the site. As they looked for the hidden storage space, Pain King Saffron approached them.

• Kelowen found the location of the storage space linked to the throne's runes six days earlier than expected.
• Bai Xiaowen left Silver City's affairs with the King of Pride and flew with Kelowen to the Human New Kingdom's divined coordinates.
• Bai Xiaowen and Kelowen searched a deep valley for spatial fluctuations that could reveal the hidden storage space.
• Kelowen explained that she wanted Bai Xiaowen to survive because he was more important to humanity than she was.
• Bai Xiaowen sensed a powerful presence approaching and identified it as Pain King Saffron.

Bai Xiaowen trapped Pain King Saffron in an immortal formation and revealed that his personal strength had grown enough to wound the Demon King. Saffron tried to flee, but Bai Xiaowen’s formation blocked his escape.

• Pain King Saffron attacked Bai Xiaowen and cut apart the Frost Dragon, while Bai Xiaowen sat on the Silver Throne instead of teleporting away.
• Saffron declared that he would kill Bai Xiaowen and seize the Silver King's demon core, but Bai Xiaowen revealed he had been waiting in the valley to catch him.
• Bai Xiaowen activated the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Immortal Formation, which weakened Saffron’s speed and trapped him within its boundaries.
• Saffron transformed, broke free of Bai Xiaowen’s Intimidation, and charged, but Bai Xiaowen struck him with Origin Lightning and severed three of his limbs.
• Saffron attempted to escape, but the immortal formation blocked him as Bai Xiaowen explained that he had set it up to prevent Saffron from fleeing.

Bai Xiaowen used the Silver Throne and the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Immortal Formation to fight Saffron, whose resistance and speed thwarted his first attacks. After weakening and maneuvering Saffron into the formation’s Death Gate, Bai Xiaowen unleashed its power and sliced the demon into fragments.

• Bai Xiaowen boosted his spell power with the Silver Throne and attacked Saffron with Origin Lightning and Intimidation, but Saffron resisted the control and dodged his lightning strikes.
• Saffron charged Bai Xiaowen, who used Flash to evade before drawing him into the Wound Gate of the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Immortal Formation.
• Saffron burned his Fel Energy to break free, but the formation shifted to the View Gate and left him unable to find an escape route.
• Bai Xiaowen used repeated Nerfed Thunderstrike Art attacks to steer and weaken Saffron until he plunged into the Death Gate.
• Bai Xiaowen poured True Essence Force into the formation’s core, and beams from its eight corners pierced Saffron before the formation sliced his body into fragments.

Bai Xiaowen defeated the Pain King, recovered the Death God's Skull, and fused it with the Death God's Visage. He discovered that the fusion had greatly increased his Death God's Power, then left with Kelowen to return.

• Bai Xiaowen withdrew the ruined Eight-Gate Golden Lock Immortal Formation after it killed the Pain King.
• Bai Xiaowen collected the Demon King's corpse fragments and used a hidden spatial anchor to retrieve the Death God's Skull.
• Bai Xiaowen fused the skull with the Death God's Visage, explaining to Kelowen that the skull had helped demons resurrect.
• The Black Book absorbed the energy released by the fusion, and Bai Xiaowen raised his Death God's Power limit from 10 to 100.
• Bai Xiaowen summoned Rageclaw, took Kelowen onto its back, and headed back without testing his new power.

Bai Xiaowen discovered that Death God's Power could strengthen summoned creatures beyond the Four Heavenly Kings, then experimented to determine how much different creatures could withstand. He established infusion thresholds for advancing his summons and left the Shadow Assassin as a powerful Leader Tier creature.

• Bai Xiaowen tested Death God's Power with Thunderstrike Art and found that it produced powerful black lightning with deathly effects instead of the skill's usual anti-evil properties.
• Bai Xiaowen infused 10 points of Death God's Power into the Shadow Assassin, who endured the transformation and advanced from Elite to Leader Tier.
• Kelowen saw the Shadow Assassin kneeling and asking Bai Xiaowen for more power, then asked to return home; Bai Xiaowen arranged an escort and sent her back.
• Bai Xiaowen gradually increased the Shadow Assassin's infusion to 17 points, but the eighteenth point could not merge with her Spirit Force, so he reclaimed it.
• Bai Xiaowen infused 17 points into the Skeleton Champion, which exploded; after further experiments, he determined that 4 points advanced Standard creatures to Elite, 10 advanced Elite creatures to Boss, and the Bone Warlock could withstand 22 points and become a Rare Boss.
