Lincoln arrived at a Prefecture Lord challenge and revealed that he stood on equal terms with the Sovereigns, while the Four Divine Beasts and Water Chief Sovereign gathered around him. After Vermilion Bird killed Leidolina for offending a Sovereign, Lincoln left with Aier and Athos, and the onlookers realized he was a Sovereign too.

• Aier asked Lincoln about the Sovereigns, and he explained that they were the Four Divine Beast Sovereigns and the Water Chief Sovereign.

• Teresia agreed to fight Lincoln’s Wind Divine Clone at Vast Peak, where the Chief Gods gathered to observe.
• Teresia restrained Lincoln with Wind Space, but Lincoln weakened its force by opening a spatial rift; Teresia then urged him to stop relying on environmental tricks.
• Lincoln agreed to fight at close quarters without tricks, while Diya criticized his approach and challenged him to a match between their Chief God avatars.

Lincoln sparred with Teresia to study how the Dimension, Sound Wave, and Music Mysteries could fuse, and his breakthrough produced a powerful attack that harmed both body and soul. He still failed to become a Paragon, leaving him aware of how rare that final step was.

• Miror intervened when Diya confronted Lincoln and suggested Teresia help Lincoln advance through a spar, while the Wind Sovereigns speculated about Lincoln's strength.
• Teresia surrounded Lincoln with clones and attacked him using Dimension Blades and soul-piercing music as Lincoln tried to understand how the Mysteries could fuse.
• Lincoln realized how sound, dimensions, and souls interacted, then played a jade-green flute whose melody disrupted Teresia's attacks and destroyed his clones.
• Teresia recognized that Lincoln's flute melody combined soul and physical attacks and chose not to interrupt his insights.
• Lincoln's insights ended without the Laws of the World descending, and he concluded that he had not become a Paragon as he considered how few Paragons existed across the laws and edicts.

• Pusluo introduced Bobo to Lincoln and recommended him as a Sovereign Envoy, citing his talent and rapid progress.
• Lincoln offered Bobo a trial: defeat any Prefecture Lord to earn the envoy position, or face the likely consequences of failure.
• At Pusluo’s advice, Bobo chose a Material Defense Sovereign Artifact, and Lincoln gave him a black breastplate and Main God Token while ordering Pusluo to share half his Sovereign’s Might.

• Aier called the royal family's treatment of the groom disgraceful, and Lincoln asked whether she wanted to help him.

• Aier reassured Earl Hoken but warned the nobles’ fear grew as Lincoln captured the arriving Light Element Low-God Heris and Aofen begged for mercy.
• Aofen accused Lincoln of refining a Mid-level Sovereign Spark and blamed Teluzake for withholding a legacy treasure, so Lincoln killed him and Aier took his God Spark and spatial ring.
• Heris pleaded ignorance, but Lincoln killed him with a soul attack; Aier then put Earl Hoken in charge of the merchant guild on her behalf.
• Lincoln freed Teluzake and told him to follow, then he and Aier boarded a Metal Lifeform with Teluzake and headed for the merchant guild headquarters.
• Aier explained that she and Lincoln had been traveling through the Material Plane in secret and thanked Teluzake for prompting them to reveal themselves and help him.

Teluzake told Lincoln and Aier how Grandpa Mebis had rescued and cared for him before dying from soul poison, and explained why Aofen was pursuing the legacy Mebis left him. Teluzake offered the legacy in exchange for becoming their disciple, and Aier agreed to inspect the spatial ring before they answered.

• Lincoln considered trading the Life Sovereign Spark to Sovereigns who might know where the Thunder Main God Spark was held.

• Lincoln learned that Vivian held the unclaimed Life Lesser Sovereign Spark and Lesser Fate Sovereign Spark, while a Thunder Element Low-Sovereign’s Spark remained missing.
• Lincoln concluded that the Thunder Sovereign Spark was held by a Sovereign without a Thunder Divine Clone and decided to seal it away in a Material Plane.

• Lincoln worried that Daniel might lack elemental affinity and talent for the laws, leaving him unable to become a Deity on his own.

• Lincoln learned from Pashi that Leiding and the others were in the Water Divine Plane, and he traveled there.
• Valeria accused Leiding and the Four Divine Beasts Clan of plotting against and humiliating her Sovereign Envoy, while Nimo and Ersi dismissed the incident as a personal dispute.
• Lincoln asked Lucy what was happening, and Lucy and Wot explained that Valeria was demanding an explanation after the clan’s repeated expansion and the envoy’s death.

• Lincoln helped Valeria end the confrontation with the Four Divine Beasts by asking her to let the punished clansmen’s offenses go.
• Lincoln told the Four Divine Beasts that he had used Milotic’s Quintessence Blood to awaken a single-element descendant’s bloodline, but needed help with his multi-element child.
• Nimo advised Lincoln to consult Roman, the Life Law Paragon, about awakening his child’s bloodline.
• Lincoln remembered Hela’s words, “Stay a while longer,” and chose to travel to the Underworld instead of the Life Divine Realm.
• Ers questioned Nimo about helping Lincoln, and Bowen explained that sending him to Roman would keep him from disrupting their plans against Valeria.

• Lincoln switched his Water Divine Clone to the Sain Plane and found Palhouse at the Lake of Sighs.
• Lincoln asked Palhouse to fight, and Palhouse agreed before attacking with water and fog techniques.
• Lincoln and Palhouse exchanged attacks, with Lincoln countering Palhouse’s fog and destructive water techniques using his own mastery of water.
• Palhouse praised Lincoln’s Laws and Willpower, then explained that a Paragon’s strength came from more than those qualities.
• After their battle ended without a winner, Palhouse asked whether a Paragon had appeared, and Lincoln said he had fought Wind Sovereign Teresia to a draw.

• A hundred thousand years later, Lincoln studied the Three-Headed Li Roar’s innate ability but failed to recreate it, and a figure stepped through a tear in space.

• Dark entered Lincoln’s Divine Plane, accused him of letting his Sovereign Army disrupt Material Planes, and challenged him to a fight before the Plane War ended.
• Lincoln agreed to fight Dark and began considering who might be manipulating events to obtain his Sovereign Spark.
• Dark proposed that if Lincoln could defeat him after reaching Paragon, Dark would destroy his Sovereign Clone and surrender his Sovereign Spark, while Lincoln would surrender his own Spark if he failed to win.

• After Dark left, Lincoln suspected the real target was himself and considered which Chief God might be behind the scheme.

Lincoln and Brock watched Orlando challenge Jinyan Overlord Kedoni, while Hela arrived and discussed whether either Asura might become Lincoln’s Sovereign Envoy. Orlando unleashed his strongest attack, and the chapter left Kedoni facing the black-arrow strike.
