Li Yue sent the Heavenly Monarch Cauldron toward Leixiao Prefecture and used his City God Manifestation to destroy an Eighth-Order Evil Specter, claiming its Divine Law Fragment.

• The City God Manifestation defended against Demon King Hu Feng's attacks until the Heavenly Monarch Cauldron arrived with Li Yue's stored Taiming Wind and Rain Divine Thunder.

Li Yue used the Time Divine Talisman to make ten years pass within his jurisdiction while only a month passed outside, but the Heavenly Rules responded with a lightning palace and nine Humanoid Lightnings. After Li Yue destroyed them, a phantom River of Time appeared above his twenty counties and accelerated time for the people within his jurisdiction.

• Li Yue activated the Time Divine Talisman, beginning ten years of accelerated time for his subordinate gods while his own time stayed synchronized with the outside world.

Two years passed in Four Seas County as it became Four Seas Holy City, where thirty-two reincarnated Human Race prodigies displayed extraordinary abilities. After learning that three Deities wanted to meet him in Eternal God City, Li Yue decided to go meet them and see whether familiar faces and useful specialty products awaited him.

• Four Seas County completed its registration, and its three hundred thousand Believers became Grade B or Grade A Believers as the city gained the name Four Seas Holy City.
• Li Youming watched thirty-two children, including Zhou Qingyi, Chu Hongyi, Pan Shiyu, Liu Mingxu, and Qin Wange, show exceptional strength and talents.

Shen Yanqiu tried to win over Yuan, but watched the tavern owner warmly greet Li Yue, a far wealthier Subordinate Seventh Rank Deity. After Li Yue bought two drops of Dao-Seeking Wine, Shen Yanqiu resolved to earn a million divine power and eagerly offered to show Li Yue his buildings.

• Li Yue asked about Shen Yanqiu's buildings and their specialties, and Shen Yanqiu eagerly offered to show him around.

Li Yue bought White Origin Fruits from Shen Yanqiu and paid to view a branch of the River of Time. The vision revealed the Great Sun Divine Court’s rebellion and showed a drop of black blood falling onto Heavenly Mausoleum Mountain, leaving Li Yue with a glimpse of a secret tied to the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty.

• Li Yue negotiated a six-percent profit margin with Shen Yanqiu and bought fifty White Origin Fruits for one million sixty thousand units of divine power.

• The Divine Palace exploded, and a drop of black blood fell onto Heavenly Mausoleum Mountain in the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty.

Li Yue spent millions of units of divine power in Eternal God City, witnessed a secret about the Lord of the Great Sun Divine Court, and acquired a Wind-Fire Holy Pig. He entered the Strange Beast Pavilion and bought five beasts, leaving the little girl to reveal her power over the sun, moon, and stars.

• Li Yue ended his viewing of the secret after learning that the Lord of the Great Sun Divine Court had apparently been betrayed by his subjects.

• Li Yue spent two million, six hundred and fifty thousand units of divine power to buy five strange beasts from the little girl’s Strange Beast Pavilion.
• The little girl beckoned, making the sun, moon, and stars appear above Eternal God City and shine across the Underworld.

Li Yue began drawing strange beasts at the Strange Beast Pavilion and obtained a C-Grade Thunder Shadow Dog followed by a B-Grade Phoenix-bloodline beast. He still had the Strange Beast Pearl unused, guaranteeing him another beast no lower than B-Grade.

• Little Girl explained the strange beast ranks and gave Li Yue a Strange Beast Pearl that guaranteed a B-Grade beast on one draw.
• Little Girl summoned ten Strange Beast Eggs, and Li Yue chose one that hatched into a C-Grade Thunder Shadow Dog.
• Li Yue made a second draw, and the egg produced a white Phoenix phenomenon, revealing a B-Grade beast with Phoenix bloodline.
• Li Yue celebrated his rare draw and considered how much the B-Grade beast could grow during the Jurisdiction's remaining eight years of time acceleration.

Li Yue hatched two powerful Grade B Exotic Beasts and assigned his new beasts, White Origin Fruits, and propagation water to his believers. Eight years passed as he prepared for the coming God War.

• Li Yue hatched a Blood Neon Flame Bird and later a Nether-Illumination Black-Eyed Beast, both top-tier Grade B Exotic Beasts, alongside two ordinary D-grade beasts.
• Li Yue assigned the Nether-Illumination Black-Eyed Beast to Li Youming, the Blood Neon Flame Bird to Li Xiuwu, the Wind-Fire Holy Pig to Qin Wange, and the Thunder Shadow Dog to Li Deyang.
• Li Yue distributed fifty White Origin Fruits among senior believers and other followers, then spread twenty-five portions of propagation water over two and a half million young faithful.
• Li Yue drank Dao-Seeking Wine and reflected on the eight years remaining before the God War.

Ten years after establishing temples across the twenty counties, Li Youming convened Four Seas County’s leaders to prepare for Lord Zhangyue’s ceremony to confer titles on Subordinate Gods and the coming Divine War. As the ceremony approached, Li Yue created the Five Elements Rotation Divine Light Technique, though the Five-Colored Divine Light remained beyond his reach.

• Li Yue surveyed the scorched God War battlefield and sent Li Youming, the Eight Desolations Army, and the Pagoda Army into battle.
• Li Yue wondered which Deity he had been matched against and exchanged words with a woman across the void.
• The woman identified herself as Mo Nan, a survivor of the previous Deity era, and said defeating Li Yue would let her leave the Black Sun and resume her campaign to conquer the Heavenly Emperor.
• Mo Nan declared that she had eight Sixth Order Believers, three Subordinate Eighth Rank Deities, two Fusion Divine Arts, and a million strands of divine power, and warned Li Yue that he would lose both wars.

Li Yue’s forces won the Believer War, and the Pagoda Army’s battle formation overwhelmed Mo Nan’s believers with Eighth Order strength. As the Subordinate God War began, Li Tianyuan led a hundred Deities into the Seven-Colored Battlefield, where their Hundred Gods Dharma Image appeared stronger than Mo Nan’s own power.

• Li Youming ordered Chen Ergou and the Pagoda Army to attack, and their Primordial Divine Phoenix formation devastated the enemy believers.

• Li Tianyuan and the hundred Deities formed the Hundred Gods Dharma Image, which arrived on the Seven-Colored Battlefield and stunned the opposing Subordinate Eighth Rank Deities.

He used the platform and twenty-two million five hundred thousand strands of divine power to begin advancing to the Principal Seventh Rank Divine Tier, intending to expand his Jurisdiction across Leixiao Prefecture and confront the Demon King.

• Li Yue received an Aptitude Enhancement Divine Talisman, Blessing Talismans, and a hazy pearl containing Mo Nan's Secret.
• The pearl showed a Divine Court Treasure: a Thirty-Three Layered Pagoda guarded by seven terrifying alien beasts, though Li Yue did not know where it was.

Meanwhile, Li Yue completed his advancement to Principal Seventh Rank and gained strength capable of reaching the Eleventh Order with the Heavenly Monarch Cauldron.

• Gu Ming left Heavenly Origin City after learning that a Deity had manifested in Great Zhou.

After reaching the Principal Seventh Rank Divine Tier, Li Yue discovered that his divine body had formed a Deity Pool and his Divine Domain had expanded, though he still needed vast amounts of divine power to advance. He inscribed his Five Elements Rotation Divine Light Technique into the Heavenly Monarch Cauldron, which drew upon the Dao laws to create a Five Elements Divine Thunder variation.

• Li Yue learned that advancing to the Subordinate Sixth Rank required three Deity Pools, each filled with one hundred million strands of divine power, and that his first pool could refine divine power from the void.
