• Sarah revealed that she was 004 and proposed that she and Ye Long unite to have a child inheriting both gods’ powers.
• Ye Long considered whether Ao Zuo’s sealed power might possess him, then decided that cooperating with 004 could be useful.

Soul-Replaced Bai Ye and Jiang Chen combined their powers to resurrect Taiji Bai Ye, whose undead army launched a devastating assault on the Central Continent. As the Longwu Empire struggled without reinforcements, Long Chen abdicated to Long Qi and personally prepared to defend the Main City.

• Soul-Replaced Bai Ye joined Jiang Chen, and together they used the complete power of the Resurrected Soul to revive Taiji Bai Ye with his abilities and immortality intact.

After three months of fighting, Long Chen’s forces and Black Dragon Li Shang attacked the undead army’s Main City, breaking into it in three days.

• Bai Ye realized Resurrected Soul had resurrected and controlled him, while his memories of how he died remained fragmented and his Taiji form was unstable.

• Bai Ye used his Yin energy to erase his mental link to the Resurrected Soul and remove its loyalty imprint, then resisted Jiang Chen’s Corpse Explosion threat by pointing out that his death would cost Jiang Chen his crown.
• While fighting Dragon Sui, Bai Ye convinced Jiang Chen that he was willing to die and take them all with him, forcing Jiang Chen to concede.

• Bai Ye offered to turn back and kill the Resurrected Soul’s king in exchange for a vial of medicine, threatening to give his crown to the Resurrected Soul and bring back the fourth-rank one if Jiang Chen refused.

• Ao Zuo questioned why the Resurrected Soul duo had targeted Ye Long and argued that their arrangement and powers were not random.
• Ao Zuo concluded that resurrecting Bai Ye would cause self-destruction and suggested the Resurrected Soul duo’s role was part of a plan.

• Ao Zuo told Ye Long that his death could allow their god to become a god, and that the god would not intervene before Ye Long died.
• When 004 warned that Bai Ye was heading for Ye Long’s Main City, Ao Zuo asked Ye Long to give him the body so he could enter the field and kill Bai Ye.

Ye Long released Ao Zuo’s sealed seventh-tier power, but Ao Zuo exceeded the world’s limit and died, leaving Ye Long alive. Chen Ye revealed that he had engineered the game and used Bai Ye as a pawn, then declared the loophole fixed and said the elements needed for godhood were complete.

• Chen Ye said Bai Ye’s resurrection had caused unexpected changes, declared the loophole fixed, and warned that the game was absolutely fair.

Chen Ye explained that evolution could not take him beyond the sixth tier, so he had turned the world into his body and used the game to make Ao Zuo release his energy and die inside him. With Ao Zuo’s power contained, Chen Ye planned to refine it and ascend to the seventh tier before claiming the Infinite Chapter.

• Chen Ye concluded that the Evolution Chapter could not reach the seventh tier because no evolutionary prototype had ever surpassed that limit.
• Chen Ye reasoned that the framework erased beings that exceeded the seventh tier, which explained Ao Zuo’s death after the Infinite Chapter revived him.
• Chen Ye transformed the star system into his body, the planet into his heart, and the Heavenly God he had devoured into a mouth that absorbed the world’s energy.
• Chen Ye revealed that he had arranged the game to force Ao Zuo out of Ye Long’s body and contain Ao Zuo’s energy when he died.
• Chen Ye planned to refine Ao Zuo’s energy, reach the seventh tier, and claim the Infinite Chapter before seeking the dimension beyond it.

Li Yuan concluded that Chen Ye had sacrificed Ao Zuo to gather enough energy to attempt godhood, while the Central Continent’s nations bore the consequences of the battle. Ye Long survived by taking Ao Zuo’s place, but he discovered that Sarah was secretly connected to Sadhah Hagla.

• Li Yuan watched the gate absorb energy and reasoned that Chen Ye’s plan had centered on sacrificing Ao Zuo, while the dead Sequences had also been drawn into the gate.
• The Longwu Empire suffered lasting damage: Li Shang lost a wing, Kan Gong lost his horns and was left near death, and Yin Fire drove Dragon Sui mad over the years.
• The empire declined as its dragons could no longer protect it, despite the preparations Martial Emperor Long Chen had made to help the people become self-sufficient.
• Sarah urged Ye Long to focus on their future and have another child, while Ye Long remained troubled by Ao Zuo’s death and the worsening situation.
• Ye Long plucked an insect from Sarah’s shoulder and accused her of relying on Sadhah Hagla; Sarah admitted the connection and said she still depended on her Dragon God.

The Golden King, Ye Long, and 004 used Rarefolk to spread Longwu culture across the Central Continent while the Ocean Empire grew powerful and Li Yuan continued to maneuver against the angels.

• Li Yuan confronted Mo over the repeated incidents, and Mo suggested that a third party might be trying to provoke conflict between them.
• Li Yuan told Mo that he had caught a winged person beneath the sea.

Li Yuan and Mo’s long-running rivalry escalated toward war as both rulers prepared their forces. Li Yuan and Hydra absorbed the Ocean Myriad Forms Forbidden Potion, which greatly strengthened them without pushing either to Sixth Tier, and Mo ordered the Winged King to announce war on the Ocean Empire.

• Li Yuan and Mo exposed each other’s disguised underwater infiltrators and recognized that their conflict had already reached the point of attempted assassinations.

• Li Yuan assessed the Winged Humans’ forces and planned to use priest rituals to contest their control of the sky.
• Li Yuan and Mo sent their armies toward each other’s Main City, but Li Yuan struck first with forces already hidden in the waters around Paradise Island.

• The Winged King observed the invasion from his temple beside the twelve white-winged Apostles, whose weapons had been seized from the Ocean Empire.

Li Yuan sent new Fishman variants into battle against Angel Mo’s Featherfolk, disrupting the storm formation but failing to break the stalemate. Mo ordered the First Apostle and Second Apostle to move as the Ocean Army’s remaining forces were still needed.

• Li Yuan and Angel Mo confronted each other while their armies fought, and Mo’s storm formation battered the Ocean Army.
