Chapter Summaries

Xia Ping imprisoned a hundred thousand Demon Abominations and over ten thousand evil ghosts inside his Gaia Space, where the creatures could neither escape nor harm him. The Gaia Space began refining the Demon Abominations into land and nourishment, greatly strengthening his Gaia Clone, while Xia Ping collected demon corpses, treasures, and Hell Origin Stones before turning his attention to the ancient temple.

• Xia Ping finished plundering the area and wondered what was inside the ancient temple.

• An ancient demon asked Xia Ping how he had survived, and Xia Ping claimed that evil ghosts had killed the Rock Demons while he escaped.
• When an ancient demon asked his name, Xia Ping introduced himself as Fengdu.

• The demons agreed to break the formations and interrogate Fengdu if they captured him.

Xia Ping reached the deepest part of the Demon God Hall, where its divine envoy Morags told him he qualified for the True Demon God’s inheritance. Forced by the True Demon God’s power to answer truthfully, Xia Ping revealed he was human and learned Morags was also the hall’s examiner, but he remained wary.

• Xia Ping passed through the hall’s restriction formations and was teleported to a vast palace filled with demon statues and a towering Demon God statue.
• Morags appeared and identified itself as the hall’s divine envoy and artifact spirit, telling Xia Ping he qualified for the Demon God’s inheritance.

• Xia Ping understood that the minotaur needed to kill him to regain its freedom, while the examiner would choose a trial suited to its own abilities.
