Chapter Summaries

Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng continued to suppress Tyrant Nibroz until It exhausted Its divine artifact energy, but Nibroz’s counterattack nearly killed Xia Feng and forced Bai Xiaowen to intervene. Xia Feng rescued Bai Xiaowen from the ensuing blade strike, and Nibroz’s attack left the island shaking and close to collapse.

• Xia Feng and Bai Xiaowen wore down Tyrant Nibroz, forcing It to use the final charge of Its divine artifact to protect Itself from Xia Feng’s attacks.
• Nibroz slammed into the ground, sending waves through the surrounding sea and disrupting Bai Xiaowen’s undead formations before trapping Xia Feng with green-fire runes.
• Xia Feng shattered the runes, but Nibroz’s demonic-fire blade overwhelmed the space around him and threatened to kill him.
• Bai Xiaowen swallowed a Super Might Pill and used the Silver Throne to unleash two Seven Fiends Great Hand Seals against Nibroz’s strike, but the blade aura broke through.
• Xia Feng took Bai Xiaowen and the Silver Throne with him through a spatial ripple, narrowly saving them as Nibroz’s attack split a cliff and shook the island.

Bai Xiaowen, Xia Feng, and the Undead Legion defeated Nibroz, but a powerful Purple Shadow tried to steal its Demon Core and escaped. Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng suspected that an unknown faction was intervening in the Dark Age Plane, so Bai Xiaowen called for their plan to proceed quickly.

• Bai Xiaowen repaired the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Immortal Formation while Xia Feng and the Undead Legion wore down Nibroz.
• Xia Feng used Greater Dimensional Slash to sever Nibroz's head and exhaust its health.
• The Purple Shadow feinted at Xia Feng, then tried to seize Nibroz's head and Demon Core, but Bai Xiaowen and Sigrdrifa disrupted the attempt.
• The Purple Shadow evaded Bai Xiaowen's lightning and escaped through the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Immortal Formation.
• Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng discussed the unknown intruder and decided to advance their plan quickly.

Bai Xiaowen contacted Rochelle after killing Nibroz and obtaining his God-Demon Core, then learned that the Purple Shadow Team had killed one of Rochelle’s Incarnations and was hunting the cores. He sent Xia Feng to guard Ismen’s Demon Core in New Silver City while opening negotiations with Rochelle.

• Bai Xiaowen used Nibroz’s God-Demon Core to broadcast a request for Rochelle to meet him, then examined Nibroz’s equipment and found the Seed of Resonance divine artifact.
• Bai Xiaowen gave the Seed of Resonance to Xia Feng, who accepted its parasitism and began learning to use it.
• Bai Xiaowen returned with the Undead Legion toward the blockade line and waited for Rochelle, who contacted him through a Demonfire Crow carrying his Spirit Sense.
• Rochelle revealed that another outsider had killed one of his Incarnations, confirming that the Purple Shadow Team was targeting Divine Scions and their God-Demon Cores.
• Bai Xiaowen sent Xia Feng to New Silver City to protect Ismen’s Demon Core from the Purple Shadow Team, then asked Rochelle what he wanted to trade.

Bai Xiaowen negotiated with Rochelle to exchange Ismen's and Nibroz's Demon Cores for the Demon God Bones, then discovered that the Purple Shadow Syndicate had abducted Kelowen and attacked New Silver City. Rochelle delivered a bone fragment and received the cores, while Bai Xiaowen asked for an additional favor.

• Bai Xiaowen offered Rochelle the Demon Cores and control of the Dark Age Continent in exchange for Rochelle's Demon God Bones and help locating Nibroz's bones.
• Herbart told Bai Xiaowen that a black-robed man on a Frost Dragon had taken Kelowen, and Bai Xiaowen suspected the Purple Shadow Syndicate wanted the Demon God Bones.
• Bai Xiaowen reached New Silver City, where Xia Feng reported that the intruder had breached the outer Immortal Formation but escaped without taking the protected God-Demon Core.
• Bai Xiaowen retrieved Ismen's God-Demon Core and sent Sigrdrifa to bring the prisoner Fu Jing from the White Phoenix Fief's dungeon.
• Rochelle's Demonfire Crow arrived and used a teleportation rune to deliver a section of hand bone; Bai Xiaowen gave it both God-Demon Cores.
• After Rochelle accepted the cores, Bai Xiaowen asked for one more thing, saying it would benefit Rochelle as well.

After absorbing the Death God's Left Hand Bone, Bai Xiaowen increased his Death God's Power limit and opened the Black Book's first page. He discovered a hidden green polyhedron of symbols but left before he could trace even one complete line.

• Bai Xiaowen absorbed the Death God's Left Hand Bone, which added information to the third incomplete Black Book.
• Bai Xiaowen raised his Death God's Power limit from 100 to 300 and formed a small sword seal from the power.
• Bai Xiaowen opened the Black Book's first page, though he could not turn the incomplete pages that followed.
• Bai Xiaowen entered the first page's dark space and found a green polyhedron made of intricate symbols.
• Bai Xiaowen tried to trace the polyhedron's symbols, but his Death God's Power nearly ran out before he completed a line, so he left the space.

Bai Xiaowen discovered that reproducing the Green Polyhedron’s symbols briefly brought him enlightenment, making the task a priority in his cultivation. He then summoned the imprisoned Fu Jing and offered him a chance to earn his freedom and possibly a position in White Phoenix Fief by completing a task.

• Bai Xiaowen realized reproducing the Green Polyhedron’s symbols gave him a fleeting state of enlightenment and resolved to practice it before studying his class tomes.
• Sigrdrifa brought Fu Jing to Bai Xiaowen while Xia Feng remained in cultivation.
• Bai Xiaowen questioned Fu Jing, who pretended to repent and begged for his life.
• Bai Xiaowen offered Fu Jing a task and promised that, if he succeeded, he could leave or remain in White Phoenix Fief in a respectable but modest position.
• Fu Jing welcomed the prospect of serving Bai Xiaowen, whom he considered a powerful patron.

Bai Xiaowen accepted Fu Jing into White Phoenix Fief and ordered him to divine the location of the storage space left by the slain Divine Scion Nibroz. While Fu Jing worked, Bai Xiaowen used the Black Book and an Insight Orb to raise the Scripture of the Grand Void to Level 15, then prepared his forces to reach the divined location before the Purple Shadow Syndicate.

• Bai Xiaowen freed Fu Jing from the Death God's Power and the lightning in his wounds, healed him, and accepted his pledge to White Phoenix Fief.
• Bai Xiaowen asked Fu Jing to locate the storage space belonging to the dead Divine Scion Nibroz, and Fu Jing performed a demanding divination.
• Bai Xiaowen traced the first line on the Black Book's green polyhedron, then combined its enlightenment with a Divine-Scion 5B Insight Orb to advance the Scripture of the Grand Void to Level 15.
• Bai Xiaowen gained attributes, True Essence Force, Spirit Force Mastery, and new Immortal Arts insights, including three intermediate formation diagrams.
• Fu Jing gave Bai Xiaowen a location from his divination, and Bai Xiaowen sent Xia Feng ahead to watch it while ordering Sigrdrifa to ready the army and summon Rochelle's Crows.

Bai Xiaowen prepared an ambush at the location of the Death God's Bone while the Hidden Society pressured Kelowen into finding it. The Hidden Society set out for the site, unaware that Bai Xiaowen and his allies were waiting nearby.

• Bai Xiaowen sent Rochelle the map and asked him to work far from the target, then flew there with Fu Jing and met Xia Feng.
• Bai Xiaowen found the hidden overlap point, detected Rochelle nearby, and quietly set up the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation.
• The Demonfire Crow delivered a runic key to the Demonfire Teleportation Gate, and Bai Xiaowen concealed himself, Xia Feng, Fu Jing, and the crow.

• Kelowen found the target a day later, and the seven masked members of the Hidden Society set out on an Ancient Pterosaur with her.
• Purple Shadow warned the blond leader that Lu Wang might reach the Death God's Bone first, but Kelowen and a yellow-robed member confirmed that the target had not moved.

The Hidden Society dismissed Purple Shadow’s warnings and flew to the Hebrew Plateau to retrieve Death God's Bone, where Bai Xiaowen had prepared an ambush. The group was trapped inside the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation as a powerful war-grade teleportation spell activated, while Purple Shadow fled and Bai Xiaowen challenged the others to escape.

• Purple Shadow warned that Lu Wang might have set a trap, but the Hidden Society members rejected his concerns and insisted on traveling together.
• The blond young man in black robes led the Hidden Society toward the target, while Purple Shadow stayed behind to guard the Pterosaur.
• A thunderclap heralded the formation of an Immortal Formation, and Purple Shadow recognized that Lu Wang had prepared an ambush.
• Purple Shadow sensed a super-large, war-grade teleportation spell and decided to flee.
• Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng appeared before the trapped Hidden Society members, and Bai Xiaowen named the formation the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation.

Bai Xiaowen summoned an army of ten thousand undead to confront the six Hidden Society members trapped in the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation. As the battle began, Xia Feng demonstrated his Master Tier strength, while Bai Xiaowen vanished from the blond swordsman’s attack and Sigdrifa announced the undead legion’s arrival.

• Bai Xiaowen ordered Sigdrifa to activate the Hellfire Teleportation Formation, which brought ten thousand undead to the Hebrew Plateau.
• Gray Shadow tried to use Kelowen as a hostage, but Bai Xiaowen dismissed the threat, and the blond young man sent Kelowen out of the formation.
• The blond young man ordered the orange-robed second brother to search for Death God's Bone while the others stalled for time.
• Red Shadow, Blue Shadow, and three Hidden Society fighters attacked Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng as Sigdrifa led the undead toward the formation.
• Bai Xiaowen blocked the spellcasters’ attacks with True Essence Force, while Xia Feng cut through Blue Shadow’s magical shield and forced him to use a charge of Magic Mirror.
• The blond young man pierced Bai Xiaowen’s defense with Battle Qi, but Bai Xiaowen and the Silver Throne vanished, and Sigdrifa announced that the Undead Legion had entered the battlefield.

Bai Xiaowen used the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation to trap the Hidden Society while bringing his undead army inside in successive formations. As the Hidden Society struggled against Xia Feng and the growing undead force, its second-in-command announced that he had found something.

• Bai Xiaowen opened a gap in the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation and began sending his undead troops through it.
• Gray Shadow tried to escape using Magic Mirror, but the formation blocked him and threw him back.
• Bai Xiaowen ordered Sigrdrifa to bring the Undead Legion through new gaps, closing each one before the Hidden Society could flee.

• The blond young man in black robes pursued Bai Xiaowen while Xia Feng cut down the Hidden Society’s Evolvers, leaving their boss under pressure.
• The Hidden Society’s orange-clad, sunglasses-wearing second-in-command said he had found it.

Bai Xiaowen seized the Death God's Bone and valuable materials from Nibroz's storage artifact while fighting the Hidden Society inside the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation. The Hidden Society escaped the Dark Age Plane after a fierce pursuit, leaving Bai Xiaowen with two prisoners and the crippled Gray Shadow, whose connection to a mysterious deity remained uncertain.

• Bai Xiaowen retrieved Nibroz's stored items as the Hidden Society's second-in-command reached for the bark, then fought off the blond leader with help from Xia Feng and the Azure-Heavens Immortal Formation.
• Bai Xiaowen captured Red Shadow and Blue Shadow while the blond leader used a vertical-eye phantom to tear open the formation and escape with three companions, leaving Gray Shadow badly injured.
• Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng pursued the escaping Hidden Society members, who abandoned Gray Shadow before Purple Shadow joined them and forced another confrontation.
• Bai Xiaowen summoned reinforcements, prompting the Hidden Society to flee to the northern snowfields and leave the Dark Age Plane.
• Bai Xiaowen imprisoned Gray Shadow and kept all three captives, while he and Xia Feng considered the prisoners' intelligence and the vertical eye's resemblance to the Grand Overlord's eye.

Bai Xiaowen interrogated Job and learned about the Hidden Society, its leader Gast Bibby, and the deity who empowered its members and sent them after Death God's Bone. After Job’s answers suggested the deity could not enter Origin Land, the deity killed him through a corrosive burst of blood, leaving Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng with the tickets and intelligence they had obtained.

• Bai Xiaowen questioned Job and Jobs about their ties to Mister Fief and the Radiance Society, then had Jobs beheaded when he refused to cooperate.
• A demon Boss Tier obtained a mysterious invitation scroll from Jobs’s body, and Bai Xiaowen recognized it as a ticket to Origin Land.
• Job revealed that the Hidden Society’s leader, Gast Bibby, had selected him as a Chosen One, and Bai Xiaowen persuaded him to disclose what he could in exchange for his life and ticket.
• Bai Xiaowen used questions and Job’s eye movements to learn that a deity had ordered the seizure of Death God’s Bone and bestowed the tickets directly.
• When Bai Xiaowen asked whether the deity had sent them to Origin Land because it could not go there itself, Job’s head burst apart, and Xia Feng blocked the corrosive blood with the Symbiotic Seed.

Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng discussed the Origin Land and agreed to pursue its treasure, while Bai Xiaowen persuaded Rochelle to let him retain a presence in the Dark Age Plane. Back at the White Phoenix Fief, Bai Xiaowen connected the disappearance of powerful Evolvers across the Star Alliance to preparations for the Origin Land and revealed that Xia Jinshi was a Chosen One.

• Xia Feng told Bai Xiaowen that the God of Truth had never directly granted him power, and he agreed to go to the Origin Land with Bai Xiaowen, hoping its treasure might revive Xiao Hua.
• Bai Xiaowen persuaded Rochelle to let him stay involved in the Dark Age Plane and keep the Resonance Teleportation Array so he could return to help if Rochelle faced danger.
• Sigrdrifa reported that the gray-robed captive had died in a head explosion like Job, and Bai Xiaowen concluded that the god behind the Hidden Society had killed him to protect its secrets.
• Bai Xiaowen let Kelowen return to the Human United Kingdom and went back to the White Phoenix Fief with Xia Feng, planning to absorb the Death God's Leg Bones.
• At a meeting, Bai Xiaowen said the widespread disappearances of powerful Evolvers were likely a prelude to the Origin Land's opening, and he revealed that Xia Jinshi was a Chosen One of a god skilled in curses.
• Xia Feng crushed part of the table when he heard about Xia Jinshi, then dismissed his reaction as an accident.

The God of Truth appeared before Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng to warn them about Origin Land, reveal Qiao Liqun as his Chosen One, and offer guidance in exchange for a ticket. He explained that Bai Xiaowen’s Black Book manifested the Death God’s nearly complete godhead, then left Bai Xiaowen asking how many people could obtain Origin Land’s treasure.

• Bai Xiaowen told Xia Feng that Xia Jinshi was the Chosen One they would confront in Origin Land, then an unseen presence appeared in the hall.
• Xia Feng recognized the presence as the God of Truth, who explained that he could communicate across dimensions and identified Qiao Liqun as his sole Chosen One.
• The God of Truth said Qiao Liqun had faked his death and asked Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng to give him their extra Origin Land ticket.
• The God of Truth offered one session of instruction, and Xia Feng chose blade techniques while Bai Xiaowen asked about the Black Book.
• The God of Truth revealed that the Black Book manifested Bai Xiaowen’s Death God godhead, which was nearing completion and could make him the eighth Death God.
• Bai Xiaowen asked the God of Truth how many people could obtain Origin Land’s treasure.

Bai Xiaowen learned that only one person could claim Origin Land’s treasure and that the Black Book contained the path to becoming the Death God. After a month of cultivation and sparring with Xia Feng, he strengthened his abilities and settled on a magic swordsman combat style, before Qiao Liqun arrived at White Phoenix Fief.

• The God of Truth told Bai Xiaowen that only one person could obtain Origin Land’s treasure and explained that the Black Book’s Origin Symbols represented the building blocks of the world.
• Bai Xiaowen asked Xia Feng about Qiao Liqun, then spent a month absorbing Nibroz’s Death God leg bones and studying the Black Book’s Origin Symbols.
• Bai Xiaowen traced the first Green-Radiance Polyhedron, advanced his cultivation and specializations, and unlocked the later levels of Taigong's Art of War.
• Bai Xiaowen trained with Xia Feng, developed a magic swordsman approach, and used the Eye of Evolution to keep pace with Xia Feng in close combat.
• Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng practiced close- and long-range combat for several days until Qiao Liqun arrived at White Phoenix Fief.

Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng met Qiao Liqun, who revealed that he was Qiao Rui’s long-lost granduncle and offered her powerful gifts. Before the long journey to Origin Land, he arranged to shelter their territories in the Shaoding Plane, and the Queen Bee agreed to move hers there too.

• Qiao Liqun explained that he was 117 years old, Qiao Rui’s granduncle, and had asked Xia Feng to protect White Phoenix Fief because of her.
• Qiao Liqun gave Qiao Rui a King Tier profession tome and two Divine Source Crystals, then asked her to leave while he discussed confidential matters with Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng.
• Qiao Liqun told them that reaching Origin Land would take three years each way and advised them to settle their territorial affairs before leaving.
• Qiao Liqun offered either a ten-year non-aggression pact among Blue Star Lords or the option to merge their territories into his Sea-Cliff Mystic Realm in the Shaoding Plane.
• Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng chose to move their territories and their vassals into the Shaoding Plane, and the Queen Bee agreed to move her territory there as well.

Bai Xiaowen settled matters in the Shaoding Plane and prepared to leave for the Origin Land, parting tensely from Chen Rong. After joining Qiao Liqun, Xia Feng, and Queen Bee on the Blue Star Evolver Platform, he entered a three-year spatial passage and began training with Meditative Combat.

• Bai Xiaowen accepted Candice's decision to remain in the Divine Court and kept the White Phoenix Fief from disrupting the Shaoding Plane's balance.
• Six months later, Bai Xiaowen told Chen Rong that the Supreme Clarity Sect's Sect Master and Grand Elder were safe but would not return, then said he would be gone for six or seven years; Chen Rong walked away angrily.
• Bai Xiaowen visited the Dark Age Plane, returned within a week, and gathered with Qiao Liqun, Xia Feng, and Queen Bee after their tickets' transmission notification arrived.
• Qiao Liqun, Xia Feng, Queen Bee, and Bai Xiaowen used their tickets in turn and entered spatial passages bound for the Origin Land.
• Bai Xiaowen began practicing Meditative Combat during his three-year-and-two-month journey, improving his Combat Specialization and skills.

After years of training during the journey, Bai Xiaowen arrived alone in the dangerous starfield of the Origin Land. A burning ticket ordered him to choose an outer planet and search for a route to the central hub.

• Bai Xiaowen raised many skills and specializations during his time in the spatial passage, but failed to advance Swordsmanship Specialization or Spirit Force Mastery to Grandmaster Tier.
• Three years and two months after departure, Bai Xiaowen emerged from the spatial passage into a starfield where planets and meteorite belts created a constant threat of catastrophic impacts.
• Bai Xiaowen searched for Xia Feng, Qiao Liqun, and the others but found himself alone in the vast starfield.
• Bai Xiaowen's ticket burned and a mechanical voice told him to choose an initial outer planet, find the planetary portals leading to the central hub, and warned that attempting to withdraw could bring punishment.

Bai Xiaowen arrived on a barren planet in the Origin Land and named it Aqiluo Star after examining an ancient Boundary Stele. As three divinized Umbral Diggers attacked him, he began searching for their weaknesses while dodging their strikes.

• Bai Xiaowen chose a planet in a relatively sparse cluster and used the remaining energy in his ticket to travel there.
• Bai Xiaowen found that Aqiluo Star had poisonous air and scarce spiritual energy, then surveyed its strange sky and nearby planets.
• Bai Xiaowen cleared dust from a Boundary Stele, recognized a character in its unfamiliar inscription, and named the planet Aqiluo Star.
• Bai Xiaowen sensed powerful beings approaching from underground, then evaded an attack by three Umbral Diggers.
• Bai Xiaowen assessed the divinized Umbral Diggers' strength and used the Eye of Evolution to search for weaknesses as he maneuvered around them.
