Chapter Summaries

Pang Tong and Xuan Tai planned to stop the higher-ups from sacrificing Jade Completion while destroying Undertaker’s Puppet Legion. In Ping Yu Heaven, Pang Hong used his devouring ability against Kong Ling and recalled his Second Uncle’s lesson about the stomach’s power.

• Pang Tong explained that destroying the fortress atop Candle Dragon’s head could disable Undertaker’s Puppet Legion and said Jade Completion had to survive the coming battle.

• Kong Ling confronted the weakened Pang Hong in Ping Yu Heaven and tried to kill him for his younger sister’s sake.
• Pang Hong swallowed Kong Ling’s spell and Bone Inscriptions, then began drawing out his Qi and Blood and absorbing World Spiritual Energy.
• As his body swelled, Pang Hong remembered his Second Uncle explaining that the stomach could digest more than eighty percent of things, including stones.

Pang Hong learned to absorb spiritual energy with his body, but his hunger became dangerous, while Miao Shi proved his strength without the Supreme Bone. Pang Tong and Xuan Tai ended the trials, and Kong Ling accepted the Kong Family’s planned punishment as Pang Hong awaited an explanation for his loss of control.

Pang Tong received Chen Changsheng’s explanation of his awakened desire to consume and the orthodox path of Demon Cultivators, which could help him oppose Undying Demon Lord. Later, Pang Tong rescued Miao Shi at the Zhao Clan, and Miao Shi used his communicator to ask Chen Changsheng how he was monitoring them.

• Chen Changsheng told Pang Hong that his primal desire could develop his potential, but he had to control it and never eat his own kind.

• Pang Tong and Miao Shi exchanged brief remarks before Pang Tong took the Second Grade Immortal King away.
• Miao Shi contacted Chen Changsheng through his communicator and asked how he was monitoring them; Chen Changsheng said he was monitoring them through the communicator.

• Miao Shi questioned "Pang Tong" about the communicators, and "Pang Tong" explained that they secretly recorded conversations and sent them through the communicator network.
• Miao Shi asked whether he could defeat "Pang Tong" or borrow others' momentum, but "Pang Tong" said he lacked the time and strength to change the outcome.

• Pang Tong used Secret Spiritual Medicine and a special method to revive Kong Yan, whom Pang Hong told that her clan had been exiled and that she could choose to join them.
• Kong Yan chose to live and die with her clan, and Pang Hong refused Pang Tong's suggestion to save the family or marry her.

Pang Tong sent Pang Hong, Miao Shi, Jiang Bo Yue, and Chang Sheng to a brothel, then secretly watched and mocked their embarrassed visit. At Candle Dragon Fortress, Hu Tudou said goodbye to the wounded Chen Changsheng, who promised to marry her in another life even though he knew he would live forever.

• Pang Tong scolded Pang Hong and teased the four prodigies about their lack of romantic experience before sending them to a Small World brothel with a discount.

• Chen Changsheng's communication device exploded after Pang Tong teased him about being a virgin, and Chen Changsheng recovered from a wound in the Five-Colored Pool.
• Hu Tudou treated Chen Changsheng's meridians and told him she would become his true wife in another life before kissing his forehead and fading away.
• Chen Changsheng promised to marry Hu Tudou in another life, then asked the System whether his promise counted as the greatest lie because he would live forever.

Miao Shi arrived at the Geng Jin World and learned that Zhang Zhou and all thirty-eight thousand East Palace Guards had died defending it. Meanwhile, Pang Hong and Jiang Bo Yue led an elite force toward the Undying Demon Lord’s Control Center, where survivors reported that it was heavily guarded and handed over a map.

• Jade Completion took Xuan Tai to the command tent and said Miao Shi and the others would be assigned to the battlefield because they held official posts.
• Pang Tong refused to join the fighting and urged Pang Hong and the others to survive the battlefield on their own.

• Pang Hong and Jiang Bo Yue discussed their mission to destroy the Undying Demon Lord’s Control Center as they led eight thousand soldiers through the void.
• Li Er met Pang Hong’s force, said the Control Center was too heavily guarded to enter, and gave him a map of its defenses.

Chen Changsheng’s Puppet Legion launched an all-out assault on the Geng Jin World, while Li Er’s betrayal left Pang Hong surrounded and Jiang Bo Yue leading the others in a breakout. The battle remained far from decided as the Grand Formation came under severe threat.

• Jiang Bo Yue studied the beast-hide map and led the group toward the Kan Position.
• The Puppet Legion breached the Geng Jin World’s Grand Formation, and an Immortal King sacrificed himself as an array core while defenders repaired it.
• Chen Changsheng sent Heaven’s Mandate to strike the formation, then his specialized puppets attacked it while Immortal Venerable Realm puppets slaughtered the cultivators defending them.
• Miao Shi charged toward three meteorite fortresses after the arriving puppets scattered the squads protecting the formation.
• Li Er admitted he had betrayed Pang Hong, who charged alone into the puppet army to hunt him down.
• Jiang Bo Yue used the distraction to lead the others in a breakout.

Little Wood led an eighty-thousand-strong army through Wang Hao’s Seven Winds Yin Fiend Formation, while Miao Shi fought at the front. After Wang Hao prepared an elite puppet force for another assault, Chen Changsheng contacted him and warned him not to wear the fighters out or waste so many puppets.

• Miao Shi charged toward the fortress as Little Wood assembled the army into the Nine Yang Grand Formation and broke through three layers of puppet defenses.
• Wang Hao took control of a hundred thousand puppets and deployed the Seven Winds Yin Fiend Formation against Little Wood’s army.
• Little Wood asked Chen Changsheng how to break the formation, but Chen Changsheng refused to answer, so Little Wood led the army into it and adapted to its shifting tactics.
• Little Wood’s army eventually broke through the formation, and Wang Hao learned from Ao Chuang that Little Wood was Chen Changsheng’s student before deploying another hundred thousand elite puppets.
• After a day and night of slaughter, Chen Changsheng contacted Wang Hao and told him not to wear the fighters out or squander his puppets.

Chen Changsheng paused the assault on the fortress while his forces withdrew, and he tended to the exhausted Miao Shi and Little Wood after their battle in Geng Jin World. Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng ordered a major push against Great Bright Heaven, and the Four Great Emperors argued over whether to release another Heavenly Emperor as the war spread.

• Chen Changsheng ordered Ao Chuang to send thirty percent more forces against Great Bright Heaven and to commit increasingly powerful forces if necessary.
• Great Emperor Fan Du urged the Four Great Emperors to mobilize more worlds and release another Heavenly Emperor, but Great Emperor Haotian opposed the idea.

Great Emperor Fan Du challenged Hao Tian’s refusal to release the restraints on the other Heavenly Emperors, winning enough support to force him to accept a plan to save Jade Completion. Fan Du then ordered Yu Long to send forces to Great Bright Heaven and drive out the Undertaker’s puppet bodies, while warning that someone within the Four Brahma Three Realms might be behind the unfolding crisis.

• Fan Du argued that Jade Completion’s merit and status as a Heavenly Emperor made saving him necessary, while Hao Tian insisted that eliminating the Undertaker mattered more and refused to release the other Heavenly Emperors.
• Great Emperor Chang Rong supported Fan Du, and Yu Long abstained, leaving Hao Tian without enough backing to oppose the plan.
• Fan Du threatened to convene a Trial Assembly and strip Hao Tian of authority; Hao Tian left, tacitly accepting Fan Du’s approach.
• Fan Du told Yu Long and Chang Rong that he suspected a hidden enemy within the Four Brahma Three Realms and wanted to use the Undertaker to expose that person.
• Fan Du asked Yu Long to order their forces to Great Bright Heaven and force out the Undertaker’s puppet bodies.

Fan Du revealed that Chang Rong had secretly killed Heyang Heaven’s former Heavenly Emperor and explained why he resented Jade Completion, while agreeing to postpone their dispute with Hao Tian until the Undertaker was dealt with. At Geng Jin World, Miao Shi proposed a secret four-person elite squad to destroy the Undying Demon Lord’s Control Center.

• Yu Long agreed to visit Hao Tian, while Fan Du and Chang Rong discussed their political maneuvering and Chang Rong’s role in the former Heyang Heavenly Emperor’s death.

• Miao Shi proposed secretly forming a four-person elite squad to destroy the Undying Demon Lord’s Control Center, and told Little Wood he had not informed the others or the higher-ups.

Chen Changsheng warned Miao Shi that a decapitation strike against the Undying Demon Lord would fail because the group lacked the strength and Miao Shi and Pang Hong were too injured. He urged Miao Shi to find a reason to surpass his limits, then told Little Wood to return to Great Bright Heaven as the war continued and Pang Hong received a call from Pang Tong.

• Chen Changsheng told Miao Shi that his injuries and insufficient strength made a decapitation operation against the Undying Demon Lord impossible.
• Chen Changsheng urged Miao Shi to find a reason to surpass his limits and trust his body, which had helped keep him alive.
• Chen Changsheng told Little Wood that the four of them would pay an unimaginably heavy price for the paths he helped them find, and instructed him to return to Great Bright Heaven.

• Pang Hong's communicator rang after two years of silence, and Pang Tong greeted him as his nephew.

“Pang Tong” warned Jiang Bo Yue and Pang Hong that the final battle was near and offered each cryptic guidance before ending their last call. Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng sent the Immortal Bone and Candle Dragon puppets toward Great Bright Heaven, where Jade Completion and Miao Shan prepared for the decisive confrontation and wondered what hidden trump card the Undertaker still possessed.

• “Pang Tong” told Jiang Bo Yue that advancing in formations required him to learn to follow the current and look farther ahead.
• “Pang Tong” told Pang Hong that he had already walked most of his path and needed to think carefully about the final key, then destroyed the communicator.
• Chen Changsheng ordered the Immortal Bone and Candle Dragon puppets to fly toward Great Bright Heaven while the fortress controlling them separated from Candle Dragon.
• A messenger reported to Jade Completion that the Puppet Legions were converging on Great Bright Heaven and that their Control Center had disappeared.
• Miao Shan explained that the war hinged on high-level cultivators and warned that the Undertaker might still hold a decisive hidden trump card.

Miao Shan discovered that the Undertaker’s Puppet Legion might be protected by fate, making the coming epoch restart catastrophic for Four Brahma Three Realms. Pang Tong revealed that he had joined the Undertaker, believing Four Brahma Three Realms had been too deeply infiltrated to save.

• Miao Shan searched the Undertaker’s history for his hidden trump card and realized the epoch would restart sooner than the eight-hundred-year deadline suggested.
• Miao Shan found a record that the fate of the Mine Small World had been borne and concluded that the Undertaker’s Weapon Spirit might have merged with fate, freeing it from its vulnerable true body.
• Miao Shan collapsed, and Pang Tong helped him recover before Miao Shan warned that the main fortress was a trap.
• Pang Tong told Miao Shan that defeat was certain, while Miao Shan argued that the Heavenly Emperors could still erase the Undertaker.
• Pang Tong admitted he had sided with the Undertaker and said his investigations had found Uncanny infiltration across every major battlefield.

Miao Shan accepted that the Undertaker’s plan was the only way to expose the hidden Uncanny and chose to fight for Emperor Lord despite the inevitable defeat. Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng’s forces moved to intercept reinforcements as Qingqiu’s Little Fox went alone to kill Xuan Tai.

• Ye Yongxian explained to Zhang Gu that Chen Changsheng was intercepting reinforcements while Qingqiu’s Little Fox alone targeted Xuan Tai.

Wang Hao and the Puppet Legion besieged Great Bright Heaven, trapping Jade Completion while his allies fought to rescue him. As battles spread across the battlefield, Chen Changsheng escaped Hao Tian’s sudden attack, leaving the confrontation unresolved.

• Wang Hao withdrew his Puppet Legion from Great Bright Heaven as Hu Tudou’s sacrifice shattered a Main World’s destiny and shook the epoch.
• Hu Tudou told Chen Changsheng that she had bitten through Xuan Tai’s destiny and separated his Heaven and Earth Profound Embryo, then turned back into a child and asked for a chicken drumstick.
