Chapter Summaries

Chen Xi and Lin Yue learned that Bai Ziqing, the Hand of God, was carrying out an Ascension Ritual by helping five fifth-tier Legends and Transcendents reach the sixth tier. Ailin warned them that Qianlang Mountain’s Mountain God was weak and should be killed if they encountered her again after time regressed.

• Ailin revealed that Gu Yu’s Legend was called the Eye of God, prompting Chen Xi and Lin Yue to connect it to the Hand of God.
• Chen Xi asked Ailin about the Hand of God, whose real name was Bai Ziqing, and learned she was completing an Ascension Ritual.
• Ailin explained that Bai Ziqing’s ritual required her to help five fifth-tier Legends and Transcendents ascend to the sixth tier, and admitted that she had recommended Chen Xi and Lin Yue.

• Ailin warned Chen Xi and Lin Yue that the Emerald Energy they received from Qianlang Mountain had carried hidden risks, though the Lamenter had dealt with them.
• Ailin said Qianlang Mountain’s Mountain God was near the bottom of the lower sixth tier and advised Chen Xi and Lin Yue to kill her if they met again after time regressed.

Ailin explained that Gu Yu’s eyes were the Eye of God, one of six connected Legends that could summon a god, and Bai Ziqing’s necklace unlocked the ability to pray for God’s Descent. As the group discussed the summon’s limits, Chen Xi’s Trial Panel revealed a matching Legend: Heart of Tashuer.

• Ailin told Gu Yu that the Eye of God belonged to a six-part Legend series, and that no seventh-rank being had ever existed.

• Chen Xi checked her Trial Panel and discovered a matching Legend called Heart of Tashuer.

Chen Xi received and bonded with the Heart of Tashuer, greatly increasing her physical strength. Ailin revealed that Chen Xi and Lin Yue had once led their group, then prepared to leave them as the God-Chosen Trial’s limits forced her to return to Core Space.

• Chen Xi read the Heart of Tashuer’s abilities and bonded with the Legend, gaining powerful physical enhancement and precise control over her body.

• Ailin said she could not let them stay and had to return to Core Space, while Lin Yue promised they would wait for her.

After returning to the Transit Station, Chen Xi, Gu Yu, and Lin Yue began preparing the space for their two-month stay. Chen Xi and Lin Yue discussed Chen Xi’s strength, with Lin Yue doubting her claim that she had reached Rank Six.

• Ailin sent Chen Xi, Gu Yu, and Lin Yue back to the Transit Station, where Chen Xi decided they could use their two-month stay to settle in and consider what to exchange the Holy Grace Gift Box for.

• Chen Xi countered Gu Yu’s fountain with one that spewed lava, and the two escalated their contest until Lin Yue stopped them and restored the damaged floor.
• Lin Yue divided the space with a towering wall, furnished her side, and began watching the urban romance movie she and Chen Xi had planned to see in Tianhai City.
• Chen Xi joined Lin Yue and claimed she might be Rank Six, but Lin Yue insisted that the gap between Rank Five and Rank Six was enormous and scoffed when Chen Xi declared herself at Rank Five’s pinnacle.

Lin Yue showed Chen Xi the Rank 4 Yama Blade she had received as a ranking reward, and they discussed its abilities and why Chen Xi resisted its curse. Lin Yue lunged at Chen Xi to test the blade, leaving their sparring bout just beginning.

• Chen Xi gave Lin Yue the Holy Grace Gift Box as compensation, and Lin Yue decided to save it for an emergency.
• Lin Yue revealed the Yama Blade and explained its abilities, including its domains, curse, and soul-cutting attacks.
• Chen Xi discovered that her strong constitution had purged the blade’s Curse Poison and teased Lin Yue into testing her new Legend on her.
• Lin Yue attacked at tremendous speed, but Chen Xi watched her move in slow motion and said she was too slow.

• Lin Yue realized Chen Xi had been teasing her about the cold and punched her with full force, then joked that Chen Xi's toughness made her easier to hit.

• At Gu Yu's command, a snowman attacked Chen Xi with icicles, but Chen Xi shattered one against her eyelid without being hurt.

• Lin Yue explained that a war a hundred years earlier between the Black Moon Empire and Dawn Federation on one side and the Blood Moon Empire on the other had devastated Transcendent numbers.
• Gu Yu said the Blood Moon Empire was infamous for atrocities and showed a gloomy reaction to its name.

Chen Xi explained the Blood Moon Empire’s fall and how God-Chosen Trials balanced their difficulty, then discussed redeeming Holy Grace Gift Boxes with Gu Yu and Lin Yue. Gu Yu and Lin Yue both chose Quicksand, leaving Chen Xi surprised by Lin Yue’s decision.

• Gu Yu and Lin Yue told Chen Xi that the Blood Moon Empire had been destroyed after Kadeqier’s curse-immunity blessing allowed the nations to defeat Xin Yue and the empire’s founders.
• Chen Xi explained to Gu Yu that God-Chosen Trials adjusted their difficulty to a Trial taker’s strength, and that survival and completion rates were much lower than Gu Yu had assumed.

• Gu Yu created a soundproof room in the Snowstorm to absorb the Quicksand without interruption.
• When Chen Xi asked Lin Yue what she would redeem, Lin Yue also chose Quicksand, leaving Chen Xi frozen in surprise.

Lin Yue decided to trade for Quicksand and enter seclusion to advance to Rank Five, while Chen Xi worried about how losing her Erosion State might affect her. As Chen Xi waited alone, Gu Yu emerged from seclusion at the upper level of Rank Four with two powerful new abilities, which she tested on Chen Xi.

• Lin Yue chose to trade for Quicksand and went into a soundproof room to advance, after Chen Xi reassured her about the effects of losing her Erosion State.

• Gu Yu estimated that Chen Xi’s Void Level had increased by about 5%, and Chen Xi learned that Gu Yu’s summoned God had reached mid-tier fifth Rank.

• Kossarius left Casper’s body and appeared in the Colosseum as a Red Dragon, spreading his wings over Chen Xi, Lin Yue, and Casper.

Chen Xi revealed Andres’s Tier 6 power to subdue Casper and Kossarius, then explained that she was preparing to unite nearby Tier 6 Transcendents against the Lamenter. Casper agreed to contact the Black Moon Pope, who would come to the North Wind Territory.

While Chen Xi and Lin Yue returned to Gu Yu’s room, Iseriel told them that a new method of deploying domains had been introduced while they were in the God-Chosen Trial.

• Chen Xi comforted Lin Yue, and the two returned to Gu Yu’s room, where Iseriel and Gu Yu were waiting.
