• Leilin authenticated the wristband with a drop of blood and met its artificial intelligence, Xiao Ai.
• Xiao Ai revealed Leilin’s account balance and explained that his Grade A authorization gave him free access to basic facilities and Federation funding for research.

• Huosi considered Leilin’s potential to become a Paragon and hoped he might help reveal the principles of willpower.

Linley became a Highgod after fusing five profound mysteries and surpassed Adkins and Pusiluo in strength and research. As they sparred on the Yulan Plane, Huosi arrived, while his own advanced armor left him confident he could contend with an Asura but uncertain how to reach a Paragon’s level.

• Linley rapidly advanced in the Federation, became its third Highgod, and had already fused five profound mysteries by the time of his breakthrough.
• Pusiluo attacked Linley in a sparring match, but Linley easily countered him, while Adkins admitted he could not challenge Linley.
• Huosi arrived and explained that Pusiluo’s talent might let him fuse five profound mysteries but would not make him a Paragon.

Huosi told Leilin and Pusiluo that another Yulan Plane genius had caught his attention, while reflecting on Beirut’s extraordinary influence and the plane’s powerful figures. On the Magical Beast Continent, Beirut killed a red-haired man for his godsnaps, then faced four mysterious visitors far stronger than himself.

• Huosi said the genius he wanted to find was from the Yulan Plane, and Leilin reacted with surprise.
• Huosi reflected on Beirut’s role in Leilin’s rise and on the unusually powerful figures connected to the Yulan Plane.

Elsewhere, Augusta emerged from seclusion to learn that the Four Divine Beasts Clan had ended its conflict with the Augusta Clan, leaving him baffled.

• Beirut agreed to work for Huosi and received an identity bracelet directing him to the Academy of Sciences on Qingya Continent.
• Beirut learned from Jarvis that the man who recruited him was Lord Huosi and became excited about joining Huosi’s ranks.
• Pusiluo asked about Beirut’s bloodline, and Huosi explained that Beirut could surpass Leilin at Highgod level because his God-Slaying ability bypassed soul defenses.
• Leilin asked how anyone could resist the ability, and Huosi said that reaching Paragon by fusing all six profound mysteries would allow it.
• Augusta emerged from a hundred million years of seclusion and learned that the Four Divine Beasts Clan had chosen to let its conflict with the Augusta Clan go, which puzzled him.

In the Radiant Plane, Prequeil learned that the Interstellar Federation had destroyed Radiant Churches and became furious when Balseze described its elusive operations.

• Augusta lamented missing the clan conflict and losing a chance to kill the Four Divine Beasts and take their Sovereign Sparks and essence blood.
• Augusta considered revealing Oufu’s secrets but abandoned the idea, then decided to wait for another opportunity to study the Four Divine Beasts’ bloodlines.
• Balseze reported to Prequeil that faith in Macallan Prefecture had fallen and that the Interstellar Federation had destroyed Radiant Churches across subordinate Material Planes.
• Balseze explained that Federation members repeatedly vanished before the Chief Sovereign’s soldiers could find them, while local members knew nothing about the group’s origins.
• Prequeil accused Balseze of lying after hearing that the Federation detected and escaped his army without being noticed by its Highgods.

• Balseze swore an oath to the Overgod, and Prequeil decided Sykes was behind the Interstellar Federation’s actions.

• Huosi arrived through the teleportation array and declared that the people were his subordinates.

Huosi and his companions confronted Prequeil, commander of the Third Legion, after Pusiluo killed his subordinate. Leilin defeated Prequeil in their clash, and Huosi used Beirut’s God-Eater Interstellar Warship to kill him, demonstrating the power of its cannon.

• Pusiluo killed Balseze as Prequeil watched, then Huosi refused to give Prequeil his name.
• Prequeil attacked Huosi, but Leilin volunteered to fight him and exchanged more than a hundred blows with him.
• Prequeil recognized Leilin as a commander-level powerhouse and mistook Huosi for a Paragon, then begged Huosi to spare his life.
• Huosi summoned the God-Eater Interstellar Warship, and Beirut fired its God-Eater Cannon at Prequeil.
• The warship devoured Prequeil’s divine spark, and Adkins marveled at the weapon’s power.

After Huosi killed Prequeil’s Divine Clone, Prequeil abandoned thoughts of revenge and planned to disappear, while Huosi prepared his group and the Federation for a move to Hell. Huosi and four companions arrived at Feiyue Mountain on Bifu Continent, where Bifu Army soldiers noticed them.

• Prequeil awoke in the Radiant Plane after his Divine Clone died, realized he had lost his strongest clone to a Paragon, and decided to hide his defeat and leave rather than seek revenge.
• Huosi abandoned the occupied plane, ordered the Federation Expeditionary Army to rest, and said the group would eventually visit the Divine Planes.
• A hundred years later, Huosi emerged from refining an Earth Element Highgod divine spark as a Highgod at Asura level, and Adkins reported that the group had assembled supplies for their journey.
• Huosi, Leilin, Beirut, Adkins, and Pusiluo prepared to leave their Divine Clones and true bodies behind to manage the Federation before setting out together.

• A Bifu Army soldier saw the five appear in the array and reacted with surprise.

Huosi and his companions arrived in Hell’s Bifu Continent, learned they had no Inkstones, and set out for Suigetsu City. When bandits stopped their battleship, Pusiluo slaughtered them all except their leader.

• Huosi’s group arrived on the Bifu Continent, and a Bifu Army soldier gave him a map in exchange for a Highgod Artifact.
• Huosi and the others boarded their battleship and headed for Suigetsu City, with Moss following the map.
• A month into the trip, Midgod bandits stopped the battleship, and Huosi told Pusiluo to take their rings and bring back the leader alive.
• Pusiluo killed the bandits who fled and confronted their surviving leader.

Kermon told Huosi and the others about Hell and guided them to Water Moon City. Pusiluo planned to challenge the city lord, while Adkins reminded him that their purpose was to gather resources for their research.

• Pusiluo spared Kermon and brought him back to Huosi, who asked him about Hell.
• Kermon described arriving from the Bika Material Plane, explained how he had become a bandit, and recognized that the group were newcomers from a Material Plane.
• Over the next ten years, Kermon explained more about Hell as the group traveled toward Water Moon City.
• Kermon said Water Moon City's lord was a powerful Seven-Star Fiend and explained the city's ban on fighting and its Arena.
• Pusiluo announced that he would take the city lord's position, and Adkins rebuked him for focusing on fighting instead of gathering resources.

Huosi and his companions sold hundreds of Highgod Artifacts in Suigetsu City and used the proceeds to buy goods for study and resale. After Kermon swore loyalty to Huosi, Huosi revealed that they planned to build their own faction and fund it through businesses.

• Kermon guided Huosi's group through Suigetsu City and explained the roles of its three castles and the Fiend assessment system.
• Huosi sold five hundred Highgod Artifacts at Bifu Castle for three hundred and eighty-five million Inkstones.
• Huosi gave Adkins, Pusiluo, Leilin, and Beirut twenty-five million Inkstones each, then bought Soul Golden Beads, Amethysts, potions, protective clothing, Metal Lifeforms, and other goods.
• Huosi asked Kermon to prove his loyalty before learning why they had made the purchases.
• Kermon swore loyalty to Huosi, and Huosi explained that they would study and reproduce the goods to build businesses and fund their own faction.

Huosi assigned his companions tasks while Pusiluo headed to the Challenge Arena to fight. Pusiluo entered the arena as Claire’s next opponent, and her caution rose when he treated the match casually.

• Huosi told Leilin to study artifacts and Metal Lifeforms, assigned Adkins to examine medicines, and directed Beirut to cultivate.
• Huosi sent Pusiluo to challenge someone at the arena, and Pusiluo dragged Kermon along to learn the rules.
• Kermon explained the arena’s tiers, rewards, and the City Lord’s Mansion’s practice of sending powerful fighters against long winning streaks.
• Pusiluo entered the arena while Claire prepared for her thirtieth consecutive match after winning twenty-nine in a row.
• Pusiluo faced Claire, whose strength was close to that of a Six-Star Fiend, and his casual manner made her suspect he was a powerful expert.

Pusiluo easily defeated Claire and became the arena’s new attraction in Blue Moon City. The next day, he faced Boloku, whose soul attacks failed to harm him, and prepared to end the fight.

• Claire attacked Pusiluo with her speed and golden blades, but he overwhelmed her with a single phantom punch and spared her after she conceded.
• The arena crowd celebrated Pusiluo, while Claire left to watch how far he would go.
• News of Pusiluo’s victory spread through Blue Moon City, drawing a packed crowd to his next match.
• Boloku challenged Pusiluo with a soul attack, but Pusiluo’s crimson soul power devoured it without injury.
• Pusiluo rebuked Boloku and struck at him with a flame-covered fist.

Pusiluo reached eighty consecutive victories in Blue Moon City's arena, drawing the attention of City Lord Saike'er. When Pawa tested him on Saike'er's behalf, Pusiluo rejected the offer to become the city lord's subordinate and declared that Saike'er was unworthy of his service.

• Pusiluo killed the white-haired elder and became a sensation in the arena, then surpassed Claire and reached fifty consecutive victories.
• Steward Lori told Saike'er that Pusiluo had defeated Claire, and Saike'er ordered Pawa to test him when he reached eighty matches.
• Pusiluo reached his eightieth defense, and the host introduced Pawa, the previous fighter to achieve a hundred consecutive victories.
• Pawa offered Pusiluo a chance to become Saike'er's subordinate if he proved himself, but Pusiluo said he intended to defeat the city lord and would serve no one but his own lord.
