Chapter Summaries

Su Ye opened his final SSS-Rank Abyss Difficulty Rating Chest and obtained several cards along with a Faith Statue Blueprint that could begin a lord’s path to godhood. The statue’s enormous material cost put it beyond his current means, so he turned his attention to securing Xi Yue’s exclusive building instead.

• Su Ye sent Little Merchant 2,000 Origin Crystals toward repaying his debt and noted that he was still short 45,000.
• Su Ye opened the SSS-Rank Abyss Difficulty Rating Chest and received a Troop Refresh Recruitment Card, a Barracks Upgrade Card, a Troop Promotion Card, and a Faith Statue Blueprint.
• Su Ye set aside the Troop Promotion Card because his God-tier troops could not use it, though he recognized its value to other lords.
• Su Ye learned that a Faith Statue collected troop faith and could open the path to godhood, but its vast material and currency requirements made it impractical to build now.
• Su Ye decided to postpone the Faith Statue and focus on obtaining Xi Yue’s exclusive building, the Technology Research Institute.

Su Ye spent a fortune to build Xi Yue a Technology Research Institute, whose traits greatly enhanced research and raised technology creations by one rank. After the Rift Gate closed, settlement awarded him a Primary Black Iron Dimensional Treasure Chest for reaching 3% exploration progress.

• Su Ye gave Xi Yue resources to construct the Technology Research Institute and placed it in his territory.
• Su Ye checked the institute's powerful traits and costly upgrade requirements, then granted Xi Yue access to the Territory Warehouse in exchange for results.
• The Rift Gate closed, and Su Ye learned that reaching 1% exploration progress had extended its duration by twelve hours.
• Settlement gave Su Ye a Primary Black Iron Dimensional Treasure Chest for achieving 3% exploration progress.

Su Ye opened a Black Iron Dimensional Treasure Chest and received cyan blueprints for a Liquid Robot and Artificial Intelligence, which Xi Yue began researching. After upgrading his territory to Level 9, he opened a new Rift Gate and sent his troops into another Dimensional World.

• Su Ye opened the Black Iron Dimensional Treasure Chest and obtained blueprints for a Liquid Robot and Artificial Intelligence.
• Xi Yue said she could learn both blueprints and produce factory building blueprints, so Su Ye asked her to proceed.
• Su Ye upgraded his territory to Level 9, increasing its area to 1,800.
• Su Ye ordered Lilith, Thalys, Istar, Pangilia, Keisha, Olides, and Delmis to prepare for a new Rift Gate.
• Su Ye opened the Dimensional Rift, and Olides led the Valkyries through before Lilith and the others followed into the new Dimensional World.

Su Ye anchored the Zerg-ravaged Yellow Sand World and ordered his forces to guard it rather than explore. He occupied a collapsing, abandoned territory as an Affiliate Territory and returned home.

• Su Ye sealed the Yellow Sand World with a Dimensional Gate and ordered Pangilia, Lilith, and the other commanders to keep the Bugs out of his territory.
• Olides reported a Rift Gate leading to a dying territory and took Su Ye there on a Dragon-Scaled Pegasus.
• Su Ye inspected the ruined territory, where the Zerg had stripped the land and destroyed its buildings.
• Su Ye chose to occupy the ownerless territory as an Affiliate Territory, opening a Subordinate Territory Gate.
• Lilith reported that no Bugs had appeared, and Su Ye led his forces back to his territory.

Su Ye named his new Affiliate Territory First Productivity and planned to use it as a technology industrial park. Meanwhile, Ye Xiu opened a Dimensional Rift and found his territory invaded by Demons, leaving him urgently seeking recruitment cards.

• Su Ye ordered two Dragons to guard the Rift Gate, then visited his empty Affiliate Territory and named it First Productivity.
• Su Ye decided to build Technology Side factories in First Productivity and use the territory as cover after the Novice Period.
• Su Ye returned to his Main Territory and went to rest in the Spirit Source Lake with Olides.
• Ye Xiu considered buying Robots from Su Ye but decided against it before opening his Dimensional Rift.
• Ye Xiu's Rift Gate brought Lesser Demons and Imps into his territory, and he began urgently buying Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards.

Ye Xiu struggled to hold off Demons after opening a Rift Gate, risking his troops and final Novice Period ranking for more resources. Su Ye received blueprints for two automated factories and headed to the Technology Research Institute to discuss producing affordable goods for sale.

• Ye Xiu used costly Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards to defend his territory from Demons and worried that troop deaths would damage Loyalty and morale.
• Su Ye received a green Stocking Automatic Production Factory blueprint and a purple Liquid Robot Automatic Production Factory blueprint from Xi Yue.
• Su Ye saw that the Liquid Robot factory required vast amounts of resources, especially Primary Alloy, and put its blueprint away because he could not build it yet.
• Su Ye decided to ask Xi Yue about synthesizing Primary Alloy and discuss making inexpensive, mass-produced goods to sell to ordinary lords.
• Su Ye left for the Technology Research Institute to find Xi Yue.

Su Ye asked Xi Yue to develop cheap, cost-effective equipment and Primary Alloy before visiting his Second Territory to build a Stocking Automatic Production Factory. After running short on resources, he returned to his Main Territory, relaxed with his troops, and celebrated Xi Yue at a banquet.

• Su Ye told Xi Yue that Liquid Robots were too expensive for ordinary lords and asked her to develop affordable equipment and Primary Alloy.
• Su Ye left the Technology Research Institute with Olides and used the Stocking Automatic Factory Blueprint to build a factory in his Second Territory.
• Su Ye decided not to produce stockings because he had nearly run out of Origin Crystals and Gold Coins.
• Su Ye returned to his Main Territory and joined the troops at Spirit Source Lake.
• Su Ye brought Xi Yue to the evening banquet, where Lilith encouraged her to enjoy the celebration.

Su Ye received a Devil's Contract from the Divine Object Summoning Hall but decided not to use it. He later contacted Little Merchant to discuss selling Advanced wood and stone Resource Cards.

• Su Ye saw that the Zerg Rift Gate had closed without granting rewards, then recovered from a night of excess and recruited 180 troops.
• Su Ye opened his Daily Combat Power Gift Pack and received 100 Origin Crystals, which made him suspect his luck was poor.
• Su Ye summoned the Devil's Contract, a wondrous item that granted three wishes, and stored it rather than risk attracting the Demon Overlord.
• Su Ye read Little Merchant's request for goods and offered to sell Advanced wood and stone Resource Cards.
• Lin Xiaoxiao welcomed the offer but planned to negotiate below the market price.

Su Ye sold 600 Advanced Wood and Stone Resource Cards to Little Merchant for 9,000 Origin Crystals and decided to prioritize Technology Side development while building a lasting partnership with her. He began the Abyss Void Trial, where an unexpectedly large number of demons rushed into his territory.

• Su Ye accepted Little Merchant's offer of 90 Origin Crystals per Advanced Resource Card and traded her 300 Advanced Wood and 300 Advanced Stone Resource Cards for 9,000 Origin Crystals.
• Su Ye considered Little Merchant a potential backer and partner, and planned to use Technology Side weapons and an open identity to strengthen their cooperation and conceal Lilith and the others.
• Su Ye ordered the territory's resources focused on Technology Side development, then left with Delmis to begin the Abyss Void Trial.
• Su Ye and his forces started the trial at Abyss difficulty as Bronze Nine-Star demons emerged from the black-and-red mist in greater numbers than before.
• Su Ye noticed the demons were appearing increasingly fast and realized something was wrong.

Su Ye’s territory survived a much larger Void invasion with no losses, earning an SSS rating and a chest packed with valuable rewards. He obtained a Hero Recruitment Card and another unique wonder, the World-Suppressing Great Wall, as the next invasion promised to grow even more intense.

• Su Ye watched his troops kill 80,000 invading monsters, including a Silver One-Star Abyss Flame Demon that Pangilia destroyed with her Destructive Dragon Breath.
• The Void Trial ended with zero combat losses and an SSS rating, and Su Ye decomposed the corpses into 10,000 Origin Crystals.
• Su Ye opened 20,000 Bronze Rank Abyss Treasure Chests and gained resource cards, 300,000 Origin Crystals, and three million Gold Coins.
• Su Ye opened the Silver Grade Abyss Treasure Chest and received ten Intermediate Fire Element Crystal Resource Cards.
• Su Ye opened the SSS-Rank Abyss Difficulty Rating Chest and obtained a Barracks Refresh Recruitment Card, a Barracks Upgrade Card, a Troop Promotion Card, a Hero Recruitment Card, and the unique wonder World-Suppressing Great Wall.

Su Ye examined a Hero Recruitment Card and a unique World-Suppressing Great Wall, then placed the Great Wall in his territory and upgraded his territory to level 10. He left to check on Xi Yue at the Technology Research Institute before opening the Rift Gate.

• Su Ye inspected the Hero Recruitment Card and decided to ask the others which of his six god-level barracks should use it.
• Su Ye studied the World-Suppressing Great Wall’s six traits and placed it in his territory, where it encircled the land and could be hidden at will.
• Su Ye spent resources to upgrade his territory to level 10, increasing its diameter to nineteen hundred.
• Su Ye checked the territory rankings and considered the dangerous level 20 advancement to Black Iron Grade, but chose not to rush it.
• Su Ye told Delmis to accompany him to the Technology Research Institute to see what Xi Yue had developed.

Su Ye visited Xi Yue at the Technology Research Institute, where she showed him the Artificial Intelligence Zero and four production-factory blueprints she had designed. He built the factories in the Affiliate Territory and inspected their attributes, though he had not yet seen what they produced.

• Zero welcomed Su Ye and Delmis to the Technology Research Institute and directed them to Xi Yue's office.
• Xi Yue gave Su Ye blueprints for factories that automatically produced Spirit Source grenades, rifles, robots, and primary alloy, explaining that Zero had helped her design them.
• Su Ye declined Xi Yue's offer to have Zero make him a computer game and left the institute with Delmis.
• Su Ye opened the Light Gate to the Affiliate Territory and built the production factories using the blueprints.
• Su Ye inspected the factories and found that their traits included doubled grenade power, automatic rifle loading, and robot self-destruction.

Su Ye tested his rifle, grenade, and robot factories, named the products, and assigned robots to guard and operate his five factories. He then prepared for the day’s Rift Gate while Ye Xiu, whose troops had nearly all died defending his territory, sought Troop Refresh Cards.

• Su Ye produced ten Spirit Source Rifles and named them S1 Type Rifles.
• Su Ye produced ten fire Psionic Grenades and named them S1 Type Explosive Grenades.
• Su Ye produced ten robots, named them S1 Type Robots, and assigned two to each of his five factories.
• Su Ye stored his resources in the Affiliate Territory, returned to his territory, and sent Delmis to prepare End Moon Purge for the Rift Gate.
• Su Ye saw Yi Ye Zhi Qiu repeatedly asking the Chat Channel to buy Troop Refresh Cards and learned the territory was under invasion.
• Ye Xiu’s troops reached Bronze Tier but were nearly wiped out after killing Demons extended his Rift Gate’s duration from twelve hours to twenty-four.

Su Ye entered and sealed a dead Black Iron dimension, then weighed whether to upgrade his Lord's Heart before the next Void Trial. Delmis urged him to trust his forces, and Su Ye reconsidered his caution.

• Ye Xiu endured the aftermath of a day and night of fighting, learned the survivors had reached Bronze Tier, and obtained a Black Iron Dimensional Treasure Chest.
• Su Ye sent Olides and the Valkyrie Legion through a Rift Gate to check the new dimension, then followed with Lilith and the others after it was reported safe.
• Su Ye discovered the dimension was lifeless and decayed, used the Dimensional Gate to anchor and lock it, and returned to his territory without exploring further.
• Su Ye assigned the Holy Angel Legion to guard the Rift Gate and named the three anchored worlds.
• Su Ye considered whether to upgrade his Lord's Heart despite the risk of a much harder Void Trial and worried his troops would not earn an SSS rating.
• Delmis told Su Ye that his forces had never used their full strength, and he resolved to trust them and reconsider his cautious approach.

Su Ye used Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards to expand his forces, upgraded his territory, and raised his Lord's Heart to Bronze One-Star. With Lilith and the other heroes now able to reach Silver Nine-Star, he opened the Dimensional Gate to World No. 2.

• Su Ye spent eighteen Troop Refresh Recruitment Cards to recruit ninety units for each of his six god-level barracks.
• Su Ye upgraded his territory three times to level 13, expanding its diameter to 2,300 meters.
• Lilith, Thalys, Istar, Pangilia, Keisha, Orlidis, and Delmis gathered with their legions before Su Ye.
• Su Ye upgraded his Lord's Heart four levels and reached Bronze One-Star, awakening Supreme Destiny.
• Su Ye's heroes broke past their Bronze Nine-Star bottleneck, with Silver Nine-Star becoming their new limit.
• Su Ye opened the Dimensional Gate to World No. 2.

Su Ye discovered that his new Supreme destiny trait made his territory impossible to locate or divine unless he allowed it, and planned to use his Second Territory to conceal his Main Territory. When Little Merchant asked for more goods, he offered her rifles, grenades, and robots, and she recognized their value to novice lords.

• Su Ye sent Lilith and the other legions through the Dimensional Gate to World No. 2 to fight Yellow Sand Zerg and advance to Silver Rank.
• Su Ye inspected his new Supreme destiny trait, which prevented anyone from discovering or divining his territory unless he permitted it.
• Su Ye planned to present himself as a harmless Technology Side lord and invite Little Merchant and other witnesses to visit his Second Territory.
• Little Merchant messaged Su Ye asking for more goods, and he offered her S1 Type Rifles, S1 Type Grenades, and S1 Type Robots instead of Resource Cards.
• Lin Xiaoxiao reacted excitedly to Su Ye's offer and considered how the weapons could be priced for novice lords.

Su Ye and Lin Xiaoxiao negotiated a partnership to sell his weapons and equipment, with Lin offering merchant resources and protection in exchange for half the profits. Lin had chosen him because her Fortune Investor talent revealed that he alone among the novice lords she had checked possessed red financial fortune.

• Lin Xiaoxiao advised Su Ye to keep producing goods and wait until the novice period’s final countdown to sell them.
• Lin offered to sell Su Ye’s goods for a ninety-ten profit split, but Su Ye proposed splitting profits evenly in return for her raw materials and sales channels.
• Su Ye and Lin introduced themselves, and Lin revealed she was an heir to the Empire’s Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce.
• Su Ye and Lin agreed to a partnership, and he promised to send her the materials list for his rifles, grenades, and robots.
• Lin’s Fortune Investor talent had shown her Su Ye’s unique red fortune, prompting her to invest in him and seek a lasting business connection.

Su Ye bound the red troop trait Infinite Firepower, which reduced his troops’ skill costs by 99%. As troops began returning from their hunt, Pangilia arrived through Dimensional Gate No. 2.

• While relaxing in Spirit Source Lake, Su Ye decided to wait for Lilith and the others to return before drawing a trait.
• Lilith returned at silver one-star along with the Original Sin Legion and told Su Ye that the remaining troops were still hunting.
• Su Ye drew two red traits and one gold trait, then bound Infinite Firepower after rejecting Endless fortune and misfortune and Payday.
• Pangilia flew into Su Ye’s territory through Dimensional Gate No. 2, followed by two-winged black gold dragons, and prostrated herself before him.

Su Ye drew three powerful Lord Traits and chose Origin Divine Body, gaining the ability to absorb Faith Power and cultivate divine power. The chapter ended as Faith Power from his followers began flowing into his body.

• Pangilia rested beside Su Ye after he sent the other Black Gold Dragons away.
• Su Ye drew Origin Divine Body, Lucky Star, and Advance Consumption, then considered the benefits of each trait.
• Su Ye bound Origin Divine Body instead of the two golden traits.
• Su Ye sensed Faith Power from his followers pouring into his divine body and being refined automatically.

Su Ye realized his Origin Divine Body made Faith Statues unnecessary and decided to save the blueprint for an auction after the Novice Period. He drew three red traits and bound Eternal Myriad Worlds, leaving him with a future path to develop affiliate territories.

• Su Ye concluded that his Origin Divine Body absorbed and stored Faith Power without a Faith Statue, and decided to auction the blueprint after the Novice Period rather than sell it to Lin Xiaoxiao.
• Su Ye drew the red traits Eternal Myriad Worlds, Ancient Fleeting Time, and Source of Calamity.
• Su Ye examined Eternal Myriad Worlds and learned it could produce an Affiliate Territory every twenty territory levels, with a chance of creating Attribute Affiliate Worlds.
• Su Ye judged Ancient Fleeting Time too difficult to use before becoming a god and rejected Source of Calamity because it could expose his territory to chaos and disasters.
• Su Ye bound Eternal Myriad Worlds as his territory trait.
