Chapter Summaries

Lin Zhiluo faced four Demon Gods summoned through three Dark Rifts, including the Thunder Behemoth, Heavy Hammer Behemoth, Demon Chant Behemoth, and Demon Eye Behemoth. As they attacked him from every direction, he charged the Heavy Hammer Behemoth and activated [Surpass] just before impact.

• Wu Jia offered Lin Zhiluo a medicinal ingredient and promised to issue an imperial decree, but both men attacked when Lin approached the wooden box.

• Xinubia charged Lin Zhiluo again, and he hurled a lightning-charged Qilin’s fingernail at its fist.
• The fingernail unleashed a powerful lightning strike that burned Xinubia’s fist down to the bone.

Lin Zhiluo used the Qilin Claw to badly injure Xinubia, then detonated all eight of his Diamond Grade Skill Scrolls in a final attack. From the ruins, he fired a laser at Wu Jia, and the resulting explosions destroyed the Emperor Palace, leaving the outcome of their fight unclear.

• Lin Zhiluo’s lightning, amplified by the Qilin Claw, charred one of Xinubia’s arms down to the bone.

After defeating Wu Jia and destroying the Emperor Palace, Lin Zhiluo searched the ruins for the Demon God Core and decided to bring Gu Zhuang along to find Wu Jia’s hidden treasures. Gu Zhuang learned that Wu Jia had died and said he had a general idea where the treasures might be kept.

• Gu Zhuang accepted the news and said he had a general idea where Wu Jia might have kept his treasures, though he was unsure anything was there.

Lin Zhiluo and Gu Zhuang found the hidden Eight Demon Formation beneath the Emperor Palace ruins and discovered it protected the underground Hall of Heroic Souls. After Lin Zhiluo broke through the formation, they prepared to enter the hall in search of the treasure Wu Jia had hidden there.

• Lin Zhiluo and Gu Zhuang searched the Emperor Palace ruins and located the Hall of Heroic Souls beneath an octagonal pattern.
• Gu Zhuang explained that the pattern was the Eight Demon Formation, which the families could activate but only the Wu Family could open normally.
• Lin Zhiluo tried Blink, Ghost Child's stealth, and Perspective, but the formation's defenses blocked them.
• Lin Zhiluo attacked the formation with the Jiuli Blade and his offensive skills until a second Jiuli Shatter broke it.
• The barrier faded to reveal gilded steps into the Hall of Heroic Souls, and Lin Zhiluo covered himself with elemental shields before descending.

Gu Zhuang explained that more than a hundred families had been wiped out and condemned Wu Jia and the families seeking retreat for abandoning the land their ancestors defended.

• Lin Zhiluo and Gu Zhuang passed portraits of ancestors who had controlled the Seventy-Two Demon Gods and reached the sealed Hall of Heroic Souls.

• Lin Zhiluo read the Dong Family genealogy and learned that Dong Yuan was its last bearer of the Eight-Armed Behemoth—Mogukanan core.
• Gu Zhuang explained that a total of one hundred and seven families had been wiped out because their bloodlines could no longer inherit Demon God Cores.
• Gu Zhuang said he hated Wu Jia and the families seeking retreat because they would surrender the land their ancestors had died defending.

• Gu Zhuang spotted a piece of Cloth of Obscurity and exclaimed that he had thought it was all used up.

Lin Zhiluo and Gu Zhuang looted the Wu Family’s Secret Chamber, uncovering rare treasures, five unbound Pseudo Demon God Cores, and medicinal pills. Lin Zhiluo found the last known Life Fragment and offered it to Gu Zhuang, who accepted despite having nothing to trade.

• Lin Zhiluo and Gu Zhuang filled Lin Zhiluo’s Storage Space with Diamond Grade and possibly Epic Grade treasures from the Secret Chamber’s second section.

• Gu Zhuang accepted the Life Fragment despite having nothing to trade, and Lin Zhiluo told him they were practically family.

After killing Wu Jia, Lin Zhiluo planned to found a country and unite humanity against the Zombie Giants, the Ocean Behemoths, and the Tia Empire. He recruited Gu Zhuang with a Life Fragment, then opened the last chest and found a damaged, empty bottle inside.

• Lin Zhiluo decided to establish a new country and wage war against the three factions rather than spend time suppressing the Tia Empire's seventy-two families himself.
• Lin Zhiluo gave Gu Zhuang a Life Fragment and persuaded him to help lead humanity in resisting the Zombie Giants.
• Gu Zhuang swallowed the Life Fragment, and his aged appearance began to reverse.
• Lin Zhiluo opened the last chest on the jade stone and found a damaged, empty bottle inside.

Lin Zhiluo found little in the Hall of Heroic Souls beyond a mysterious bottle and a jade slab, while Gu Zhuang grew younger after using the Life Fragment. They left Tia Main City for the High Wall, where Lin Zhiluo asked Gu Zhuang how to inherit a Demon God Core.

• Lin Zhiluo searched the chamber, found no other treasures, and chose Demon God Cores for Ghost Child and Da Sha.
• Gu Zhuang stood up looking much younger and said he felt freed from his old limitations.
• Gu Zhuang did not recognize the bottle Lin Zhiluo had found, so Lin Zhiluo stored it and dug up the jade slab with the Jiuli Shovel.
• Lin Zhiluo decided to leave Tia Main City before other families arrived, and he and Gu Zhuang gathered Ghost Child and Da Sha to board the Gu Family's carriage.
• On the journey home, Lin Zhiluo took out a Demon God Core and asked Gu Zhuang how to inherit it.

Lin Zhiluo inherited the Roaring Behemoth—Conndas Demon God Core almost instantly and made contact with its Demon God. Gu Zhuang explained that Lin Zhiluo could now summon it, but would need to choose words to draw its attention.

• Lin Zhiluo decided to inherit the Roaring Behemoth—Conndas Demon God Core despite Gu Zhuang's warning about the lifespan cost.
• Gu Zhuang explained that a first owner needed to soak the Demon God Core in blood, so Lin Zhiluo cut his palm and let blood drip onto it.

• Lin Zhiluo sensed the Demon God and received its response on his first attempt, astonishing Gu Zhuang.
• Gu Zhuang told Lin Zhiluo that he could summon the Demon God and should choose words that would attract its attention.

Lin Zhiluo tested his ability to summon a Demon God and confirmed that doing so did not drain his life force when he was not summoning one. As the carriage neared the Mountain-Sea High Wall, Da Sha and Ghost Child bonded with their Demon God Cores, and Lin Zhiluo prepared to summon their Demon Gods.

• Lin Zhiluo summoned the Roaring Behemoth—Conndas instantly, inspected its strength, and sent it back into the Dark Rift.
• Lin Zhiluo confirmed that summoning Conndas had not drained his life force, while Gu Zhuang struggled to process everything he had witnessed.
• Lin Zhiluo gave Gu Zhuang more than twenty books to search for useful knowledge, then brought Demon God Cores for the Spiderweb Behemoth and Iron Fist Behemoth to Da Sha and Ghost Child.
• As the carriage approached the Mountain-Sea High Wall, the Demon God Cores glowed, and Lin Zhiluo helped Da Sha and Ghost Child communicate with their Demon Gods.
• Lin Zhiluo had Da Sha and Ghost Child point toward open ground and invited their Demon Gods to come out and stretch their legs.
