Chapter Summaries

Ling Haotian asked Fisherman Ji Wubing what he could see about Tang Yun, the Previous Epoch, and the current era. Ji Wubing revealed that Tang Yun would become a Taboo but that he could not see how, and he could not foresee the chaotic era or the new system; Ling Haotian decided to report the matter to The Empire.

• Ling Haotian found Ji Wubing fishing and asked whether Tang Yun would succeed in stealing an Old God's Authority.
• Ji Wubing said he had seen Tang Yun become a Taboo in the future, but he could not see how or whether she would succeed in her current attempt.

• Ji Wubing said he could not see what the new system would be or who would create it.
• Ling Haotian said he would report Ji Wubing's findings to The Empire, and Ji Wubing returned to fishing.

Su Ye realized The Empire had likely connected him to the Seed of Original Sin and expected him to create a new system, so he planned to prepare public Mystic Side troops while concealing his true forces. In the Fei Kingdom, now a lawless zone, a group of black-robed figures carved ominous array patterns as monsters and other outcasts watched.

• Su Ye suspected The Empire had previously stolen Authority and had discovered his connection to the Seed of Original Sin.
• Su Ye concluded The Empire was tolerating him because it expected him to create a new system, and he decided to act as though he knew nothing of its suspicions.
• Su Ye planned to present Holy Spirit and more than one billion enhanced girls as his public Mystic Side troops while keeping his real troops and Taboos hidden.
• Su Ye began considering how to create a new system within his territory.
• In the ruined city of the lawless Fei Kingdom, black-robed figures carved array patterns while Demons, Warp creatures, and half-human, half-Zerg beings watched.

After struggling to organize his powers, Su Ye delayed the task with a banquet and planned to study the Number One Forbidden Zone. The next morning, the Old Man told him he would soon inherit his position overseeing Imperial Capital University, leaving Su Ye alarmed but curious about the rules governing the succession.

• The Black Robes completed visible crimson lines in the city, which sank into the earth as part of their effort to bring back the Old Ones from past timelines.
• Su Ye gave up trying to organize his powers for the day, held a banquet, and planned to visit the Number One Forbidden Zone for inspiration.
• Su Ye completed his daily routine, returned to the Main World, and went to meet the Old Man at his office.
• The Old Man told Su Ye that his grandmaster was preparing to pursue the path of Taboo and that Su Ye would eventually take the Old Man's place.
• The Old Man explained that his lineage had overseen Imperial Capital University since its founding and that only one disciple per generation could remain there to inherit the position.
• Su Ye asked whether he was the only person from his generation of the lineage still at the university.

Su Ye learned that The Empire had designated him to take over Old Man’s administrative role at Imperial Capital University because of Prison of Heaven, though he planned to delegate routine work to secretaries. He then visited Number One Forbidden Zone and read about how the lord system developed over hundreds of thousands of years before the first true lord appeared.

• Old Man explained that Imperial Capital University’s leadership role would tie Su Ye down, and that The Empire had chosen him because he carried Prison of Heaven.
• Su Ye asked whether he could avoid handling the administrative work, and Old Man agreed that he could find trustworthy assistants while keeping some matters for himself.
• Su Ye postponed his training with Old Man and went to Number One Forbidden Zone to look through records.
• Su Ye read a book explaining that early lords absorbed faith and evolved into gods before Barracks, the system, and Eternal Will developed.
• Su Ye learned that the first true lord with a system panel and Eternal Will appeared hundreds of thousands of years after the incomplete lord system began.

Su Ye pondered how the world’s rules and troop types had developed, then returned to his territory. Meanwhile, the Fisherman foresaw an ancient, Half-Step Genesis Old God threatening Imperial Capital University, and Ling Haotian left to prepare.

• Su Ye considered spreading Seeds of Original Sin and seeking more Authorities to influence the Main World’s rules.
• Su Ye asked Little Spirit to send him back to school, wondered why no Demigods had come to use the Cursed Holy Grail, and returned to his territory.
• The Fisherman told Ling Haotian that an ancient Old God had descended upon Imperial Capital University and that scarlet surrounded the university in his vision of the destined future.
• The Fisherman identified the Old God as an existence one step short of Genesis and said the threat might be connected to Tang Yun.
• Ling Haotian set aside his fishing rod and vanished to make preparations, while the Fisherman worried that powerful beings were appearing unusually early in the era.

Ji Wubing discovered that the Era War threatened to become an End Era and left to warn The Empire to prepare. Su Ye gathered goodness in a Bronze world, then resumed his summoning, where golden light surprised him.

• Ji Wubing tried to glimpse the future, suffered a crack in his Origin from the backlash, and saw Fate converge on an End Era.

• Su Ye returned to No. 36 Bronze World and absorbed its goodwill and Virtue, drawing closer to condensing Divinity.

• The next morning, Su Ye checked his BUFFs, collected ten million Gold Coins and a Substitute Death Puppet, then took Lilith to the Wicked Summoning Hall.
• Su Ye began the day's summoning and watched golden light rise from the Altar, wondering whether the Devil's Contract was gone.

Su Ye bound the Element Seed, absorbed his territory’s accumulated elemental power, and returned to the Main World to begin learning his duties from Old Man. He reviewed classified reports about polluted Taboo beings in the Island Country and an Abyssal rift on the Warp front.

• Su Ye bound the Element Seed and sensed the Tower of Elements’ accumulated power and daily Elemental Tide.
• After absorbing elemental power for two hours, Su Ye stopped before condensing Divinity and returned to the Main World with Lilith.

• Su Ye read that a Taboo being in the Island Country had become a source of Pollution, while another was still resisting.
• Su Ye learned that an Abyssal rift had appeared on the Warp front and that factions other than the Mechanical Scourge could cooperate.

Su Ye struggled through White Eagle’s administrative work while Ye Xiu and Barbatos fled pursuing Demons in the Abyss. In French Chicken, the Void’s conquest helped the Original Sin system take root, while Su Ye returned to his territory and began condensing Divinity.

• Su Ye found White Eagle’s population and customs increasingly bizarre, then worked through resource allocation documents under Old Man’s supervision.
• Ye Xiu confronted Barbatos about his false claim to be the Abyssal Overlord as Demons chased them over a stolen treasure.
• The Empress of the Void faction watched over the Void-ruined French Chicken, where lords were cut off from their territories and survivors developed the Original Sin system to resist Void Creatures.
• Su Ye finished his paperwork, complained to Old Man about the workload, and left after Old Man told him they would continue the next day.
• Su Ye returned to his territory, resolved to endure the work until Old Man left, and began condensing Divinity as Lilith guarded him.

As the Main World’s rules changed, a rift brought Black Iron Grade Orcs to a remote camp in Stick Country, where Jin Minna’s death and hatred gave rise to a black-mist existence. The next morning, Su Ye returned to the Main World, sensed something like resentment in the air, and went to Old Man’s office to resume work.

• Stick Country’s hidden crisis worsened as a rift opened near a group of people hiding in the mountains and Black Iron Grade Orcs attacked their camp.
• The Half-Orcs killed the men and devoured the dead while Jin Minna was left alive, gravely injured and filled with hatred.
• Jin Minna died, but her hatred gathered into black mist that formed another Jin Minna, who engulfed the camp and made the Half-Orcs vanish.
• Su Ye woke after absorbing elemental power and condensing Elemental Divinity, checked his repeated BUFFs, and received gold, a Substitute Death Puppet, and a Devil's Contract from his daily mission.
• Su Ye returned to the Main World, sensed an unfamiliar resentment in the air, and went to Old Man’s office to read the red documents.

Su Ye learned that changes in the Main World's rules had caused vengeful spirits to appear and were accelerating the expansion of empires' frontlines. The Empire was monitoring the changes and reinforcing its Starry Sky Frontline as Su Ye returned to processing documents.

• Su Ye questioned Old Man about a report of newly formed vengeful spirits, and Old Man explained they were possible byproducts of changing world rules that The Empire was observing.
• Su Ye read that the spirits were weak and being captured for research, though it was unknown whether they would persist into the next era.
• Su Ye learned that the Starry Sky Frontline and other empires' frontlines were expanding, possibly because of changing rules or the actions of hostile factions.
• Old Man described White Eagle's infiltration by Demons, Warp creatures, and Bugs, John Bull's desperate stand against the Undead Scourge, and Bear Country's continued resistance.
• Old Man told Su Ye that The Empire had reinforced its Starry Sky Frontline and instructed him to focus on his own work, so Su Ye resumed processing documents.

Old Man explained that Imperial Capital University was also an intelligence department of The Empire, and Su Ye hurried through his documents after sensing something unusual. Back in his territory, Su Ye found Huo Wenyue advancing in White Eagle and began absorbing the experience she had gained from the Seed of Original Sin.

• Old Man told Su Ye that Imperial Capital University answered directly to The Empire and functioned as one of its intelligence departments.
• Su Ye sensed something while processing documents, finished them quickly, and returned to his territory.
• Su Ye used Faith Power to find Huo Wenyue in White Eagle, where Wrath was tempering her as she approached Diamond Rank.
• Su Ye concluded that Huo Wenyue's power still came from the Seed of Original Sin, so her growth did not yet represent a truly independent system.
• Su Ye began absorbing Huo Wenyue's growth experience to learn from her progress and help develop a safer system.

Su Ye absorbed the experiences of people who had followed the Original Sin path while sparing their power. In the Fei Kingdom, the Church of the Old Days sacrificed the City of Sin to open a bridge through past and present, and a Scarlet figure began returning as the Main World’s Taboo entities watched.

• Su Ye absorbed the experiences of Huo Wenyue and other Original Sin pathwalkers without reclaiming their power.
• The Church of the Old Days activated Scarlet patterns across the City of Sin, trapping its inhabitants and driving them to slaughter one another as sacrifices.
• Tang Yun told Meng Jingtian that the Scarlet Sacrifice meant an Old One was returning, and she identified the Church of the Old Days as the culprits.
• The sacrifice twisted space and time, forming a blood-colored bridge from the past and triggering the Main World’s golden Inscriptions.
• Ji Wubing and Ling Haotian sensed the upheaval as an ancient Scarlet figure stepped onto the bridge.

Su Ye watched two ancient Old Ones fight over a path of return through time, as the black Old One hijacked Scarlet Old One’s bridge. Scarlet Old One struck back just as the black Old One neared the present, leaving him chained to the bridge.

• Su Ye watched a livestream of Scarlet Old One reversing past and present, and Lilith said she could return from anywhere without such a method.
• A black Old One appeared and attacked Scarlet Old One, corrupting the Scarlet bridge and turning it into a black path for his own return.
• Scarlet Old One yielded the path, and the black Old One began crossing eras despite the immense cost and difficulty.
• As the black Old One approached the present, Scarlet Old One reappeared and pierced him with a war spear.
• Scarlet Old One’s chains spread across Space-Time and bound the black Old One to the black bridge.

Scarlet returned to the Main World as an ancient Old One, alarming Ji Wubing and Ling Haotian with his unfamiliar arts and overwhelming power. Su Ye later went to work at Imperial Capital University, where Old Man warned him that the school might face trouble because of Tang Yun.

• Scarlet shattered the black bridge and returned from the past to the Main World as a flawless Old One.
• Ji Wubing and Ling Haotian suspected Scarlet came from before the fractured timeline and wondered whether they could stop him if he came to Imperial Capital University.
• Su Ye spent the night in his territory, completed his daily tasks, and returned to the Main World.
• Su Ye noticed Imperial Capital University seemed unusually quiet and went to Old Man's office to handle more paperwork.
• Old Man told Su Ye that Imperial Capital University might face trouble because of Tang Yun, and Su Ye feared she was connected to the Scarlet Old God.

Su Ye sensed that the Scarlet Old One had something wrong with it, but Old Man reassured him that Imperial Capital University had safeguards. In the Fei Kingdom, the Scarlet Old One discovered that the auras of the Emperor and the Sovereign had vanished and that history beyond a temporal fault line was blank, then prepared to visit Imperial Capital University.

• Su Ye told Old Man he felt something was wrong with the Scarlet Old One, and Old Man said Imperial Capital University had basic safeguards.
• The Scarlet Old One wondered whether the Emperor and the Sovereign were dead, then examined The Empire’s history and found a blank beyond the temporal fault line.

• The Scarlet Old One recalled witnessing the ancient Gu Family nation and the former Emperor and Sovereign, and decided to investigate the Dao Gu Clan and its records later.
• The Scarlet Old One looked toward Imperial Capital University and rose from its throne to go there.

Scarlet Old One descended on Imperial Capital University and discovered that the Emperors and Sovereigns had vanished, while their descendants still lived. He reclaimed Tang Yun’s Main God Level Origin and left her powerless.

• Su Ye noticed scarlet light covering Imperial Capital University, and Old Man saw Scarlet Old One appear among Ling Haotian, three Half-Step Genesis Level beings, and seven Taboos.
• Scarlet Old One said the Emperors and Sovereigns had vanished and questioned how their descendants could still exist; Ling Haotian and the others did not understand what he meant.
• The Empire’s Luck Golden Dragon appeared and lent its power to Ling Haotian and the others, bringing the three Half-Step Genesis Level beings close to Genesis Level.
• Scarlet Old One recognized that the Emperors and Sovereigns’ traces had been erased but suspected they had not died, and he judged the Lord System and its living beings weak.
• Scarlet Old One faced Tang Yun, declared her unqualified to steal Authority, and extracted her Main God Level Origin, leaving her collapsed and powerless.

After the Scarlet Old God withdrew, Su Ye searched Number One Forbidden Zone for records about the vanished Emperor and Sovereign, finding only vague fragments. Ling Haotian, Ji Wubing, and Old Man recognized that The Empire was unprepared for the ancient being and began considering how to prepare for greater threats.

• The Scarlet Old God ignored Ling Haotian and the others, then vanished into The Empire, while Su Ye asked Old Man about the Emperor and the Sovereign.
• Old Man told Su Ye that Tang Yun needed a new source of power to survive, then left to handle matters after Su Ye went home.
• Su Ye asked Little Spirit about the Emperor and the Sovereign in Number One Forbidden Zone and received a book of vague historical fragments.
• Ling Haotian met Ji Wubing in the small world, where Ji Wubing said the Scarlet Old God had turned all of the Fei Kingdom into believers.
• Old Man and Ji Wubing concluded that The Empire lacked the means to face beings like the Scarlet Old God, and Ji Wubing said The Empire had begun making preparations.

The Scarlet Old One investigated the vanished traces of Emperor and Sovereign while Tang Yun prayed to Su Ye and received the Seed of Pride. Su Ye locked in a powerful Unique Level True Self buff, then discovered his daily rewards included a Substitute Death Puppet and wondered what danger awaited him.

• The Scarlet Old One failed to uncover what had happened to Emperor and Sovereign and kept a mass of blood-red origin.
• Tang Yun prayed to the twisted Divinity left by Huo Wenyue, and Su Ye answered by giving her the Seed of Pride.
• Tang Yun began evolving with the power of Pride, which the Scarlet Old One recognized as a power of the new generation.
• Su Ye partied through the night, then locked in the Unique Level True Self buff for his troop types.
• Su Ye saw that his daily rewards included a Substitute Death Puppet and a Devil's Contract, then returned to the Main World after warning Lilith.

Su Ye learned that the Old One's past could not be traced and reviewed reports about the Fei Kingdom's Scarlet Beasts. In the Abyss, Ye Xiu underwent demonization and entered a cocoon after Barbatos added its essence blood, while Su Ye finished work.

• Su Ye visited Old Man, who explained that the Old One's nonexistent past meant It was either dead or overwhelmingly powerful.
• Su Ye read an assessment marking the Fei Kingdom extremely dangerous and learned that Scarlet aura had transformed its inhabitants into powerful Scarlet Beasts.
• Ye Xiu endured demonization in the Abyss as demonic energy reshaped his body and he reached Bronze Rank through a new method of self-leveling.
• Barbatos gave Ye Xiu a drop of its essence blood, causing him to become encased in a massive black-and-red cocoon.
• Su Ye finished processing his documents and prepared to leave work.

Su Ye enjoyed a night off before returning to his daily routine and summoning from the Wicked Summoning Hall. Meanwhile, Jin Minna used her rule to kill men in Stick Country, while the Scarlet Old One erased anomalies forming in his realm; the chapter ended as golden light rose from Su Ye’s altar.

• Su Ye left the Old Man’s office and returned to his territory instead of visiting the forbidden grounds.
• Jin Minna appeared in Stick Country and killed several drunken men after they violated her rule.
• The Scarlet Old One observed the changing world rules and erased anomalies forming in the Scarlet Realm.
