Chapter Summaries

As the Four Divine Beast Family prepared to challenge the Augusta Family and rally allies, Gaisreisen welcomed Bagreiff’s support against their enemies. Back in Hell, Leiding and the other parents revealed a possible way for their children to use a Combined Innate Divine Ability, though success depended on several difficult conditions.

• The Vermilion Bird explained that the technique required the parents’ blood essence, mastery of a special Magic Array, and sufficient bloodline concentration and compatibility.

The Four Divine Beast Family struggled to coordinate their combined Innate Divine Ability trials, while Ladd advanced to Mid-level God and prepared to travel to Hell. Aiken agreed to help Ailin furnish the Trial Ground, but he left suspecting that Ailin might have created it.

• The Vermillion Bird Clan Leader, Gaisreisen, the White Tiger Clan Leader, and the Black Tortoise Clan Leader failed their first Magic Array trial, so Gaia and Andrew took their places for another attempt.

Gaisreisen and the other Four Divine Beast Family heirs succeeded in unleashing a combined Innate Divine Ability and prepared to confront Ailin. Meanwhile, Ailin sent Ek and Glass to the Okarun Material Plane to secure a red crystal diamond, but Gaisreisen arrived outside Blood Nether City before they could depart unnoticed.

• Gaisreisen, Ges, Tia, and Andrew successfully unleashed their combined Innate Divine Ability, while Gaia and Andre failed to coordinate with Ges and Tia.

• Ailin recognized Gaisreisen and several Four Divine Beast Family heirs waiting outside the city.

Gaisreisen and the other leaders of the Four Divine Beast Family confronted Ailin in Blood Nether City, provoking him and threatening Montro and Uman. They unleashed a strange combined Innate Divine Ability that seemed to restrain time and thought, forcing Ailin to reveal more of his power as the battle began.

• Montro, Uman, and Bro heard Gaisreisen call for Ailin and hurried to the city gates, where a crowd of God-level experts gathered.
• Ailin appeared, and Ges accused him of killing his nephew; Gaisreisen then challenged Ailin and threatened Uman over Ennio’s Water God Avatar.
• Montro defended Uman, and Gaisreisen privately directed Gaia and Andre to kill Montro and Uman while the clan leaders fought Ailin.
• Gaisreisen, Tia, Ges, and Andrew unleashed their Innate Divine Abilities together, summoning the four beast phantoms and spreading an uncanny force that slowed thought and constrained movement.
• Ailin sensed the unusual effect, stopped holding back his strength, and prepared to face the combined ability.

Gaisreisen and the others used the Four Divine Beasts' fused Innate Divine Ability against Ailin, freezing time and space and launching a powerful Soul Attack. Ailin broke free and prepared to kill them, but an overwhelming voice suddenly ordered him to stop.

• Gaisreisen and the others froze the surrounding time and space, leaving Montro and Uman unable to move while Ailin weakened the effect on himself.
• Ailin tested the strange paused space and realized that the fused ability exerted an authority that even his power could not directly affect.
• Gaisreisen's group sent a circular Soul Attack at Ailin, who defended against it and then revealed his killing intent.
• Ailin broke the fused ability with a slash from his Zhanmadao, freeing Montro, Uman, and the others as Gaisreisen and his companions suffered backlash.
• Ailin raised his blade to attack the four, but a furious voice rang out and ordered him to stop, frightening the gods nearby.

Ailin fought Gaisreisen and the others, destroyed their Combined Innate Divine Ability, and killed Andrew before Leiding’s arrival stopped the conflict from escalating. Linasha revealed herself as an Overgod and intervened, while Ailin admitted that his Water God Avatar was a Paragon High-God and hinted that he had another avatar.

• Gaisreisen and the others used their Combined Innate Divine Ability to stall Ailin while Gaia and Andre attacked, but Ailin broke through their defenses and counterattacked.

Ailin revealed that he was a Death Mid-level Main God, and Leiding withdrew with his family after Ailin threatened to destroy them if they killed his Divine Clone.

• The Death Sovereign concealed the gathered Overgods from the God-level beings in Blood Nether City while more Overgods, including Augusta and Utrered, arrived.
• Leiding and the other Four Divine Beasts confirmed that Andrew had perished, and Bowen demanded vengeance from Ailin.
• The Death Sovereign asked Ailin to explain who he was, and Ailin revealed his Divine Clone as Linasha identified him as the Death Mid-level Main God who had inherited Situmoli’s Sovereign Spark.
• Ailin said the Four Divine Beasts had provoked him and warned that their family would be wiped out if they killed his Divine Clone.
• Leiding held Bowen back, warned Ailin to keep his Lord God Avatar out of the Divine Planes, and left with Gaisreisen and the others.

After Ailin killed Andrew and revealed overwhelming speed, the Overgods debated the Four Divine Beasts’ likely response and the limits of their authority. The Death Sovereign recognized Ailin’s new status and gave him Situmoli’s former territory, while Ailin remained unconcerned about the coming conflict.

• Leiding and the Four Divine Beasts left after Andrew’s death, while Linasha warned Ailin to avoid confronting them unless he was sure of victory and offered the Netherworld as refuge.

• Hanjin told Montro and Uman to pause the Augusta Family’s fighting with the Four Divine Beast Family while keeping their clansmen in the Netherworld.

Meanwhile, Ailin arrived in Bifu Continent to search for Beirut and secretly recruit him as an Envoy before he became an Overgod.

• Gaisreisen and the other second-generation members demanded revenge for Andrew, and Leiding agreed that the Four Divine Beast Family would eventually strike back at Ailin.
• Leiding warned that Ailin’s ties to Linasha and Sarlika made an immediate attack risky, so the Four Divine Beasts considered waiting for a Supreme God Mission to create an opportunity.
• Lieus proposed spreading false rumors about an impending mission, and Leiding ordered Gaisreisen’s group to gather rare Heaven and Earth Oddities, preferably ones aligned with Death.
• Leiding sealed Andrew’s body in the grand hall as a reminder that the family’s enmity with Ailin remained unresolved.
• Ailin reached Anchun City in Bifu Continent and obtained information about powerful figures while trying to determine whether Beirut had arrived in Hell.
• Ailin decided to search Hell first because he wanted to take Beirut in as an Envoy before Beirut became an Overgod, allowing him to pursue the Four Divine Beasts’ Sovereign Sparks discreetly.

Ailin found records of Calorona, Beirut’s wife, and decided to travel to Divine Rat Island to follow her trail and search for Beirut. He posted a five-year mission at the Devil Castle to recruit guides and guards for the journey, then left as the receptionist prepared to report his arrival to Lord Ski.

• Ailin discovered that Calorona was a Seven-star Demon and Divine Rat Island Lord, and concluded she could lead him to Beirut.
• Ailin decided to visit Divine Rat Island first and seek information there about Dannington’s residence.
• Ailin asked a golden-haired receptionist at the Devil Castle to post a mission recruiting up to a hundred guides and guards for a trip to Divine Rat Island, departing from the east gate in five years.
• Ailin offered Nether Stones as the mission reward, and the receptionist accepted 18 billion, allocating 16.8 billion after the castle’s share.
• Ailin received the mission token and left, while the receptionist decided to report the Netherworld expert’s arrival to Lord Ski.

Salomon and Nis went to the Devil Castle in Anchun City to find a mission that would take them to Liang'an Prefecture, where they hoped to return to the Boyi Family and seek vengeance for their mother. They joined a merchant caravan escort alongside Ladd, and the three prepared to meet their employer in a month.

• Salomon reassured Nis that they needed the Boyi Family's help to avenge their mother, though he also hoped to inherit the family's wealth.

• The staff member told them to gather at Sixia Restaurant outside Anchun City's south gate in one month, and Salomon introduced himself and Nis to Ladd.

Ailin’s journey toward Divine Rat Island was interrupted when he witnessed a battle between High-Gods and learned that the Four Divine Beast Family was searching for an Undead Sacred Token, said to be a Supreme God’s Token. He decided to join the fight and obtain the token, while the revelation made him question how far the current era was from the events he knew.

• Ailin departed Anchun City with a hundred Demon guards aboard his upgraded Flying Bird Metal Lifeform, bound for Divine Rat Island.
• After thirty years of travel and entering the Sea of Chaos, Ailin’s party stopped to watch a battle between two groups of High-Gods.
• Tishir revealed that Skali and the Four Divine Beast Family were searching for Supreme God’s Tokens, including the Undead Sacred Token, and Skali ordered his clansmen to kill Tishir’s group.
• Ailin considered whether the revelation meant the Supreme God Missions were at a different stage than he had assumed, and resolved to ask Linasha about their history.
• Ailin flew toward the battle, determined to obtain the Undead Sacred Token.

Ailin intervened in Tishir and Skali’s battle, effortlessly killed Skali and his allies, and claimed the Undead Sacred Token. Suspecting it might be tied to the sixth Supreme God Mission, Ailin left for Nether Mountain to consult the Death Sovereign and consider offering him the token.

• Ailin rushed into the battlefield, where Skali recognized him as the Four Divine Beast Family’s enemy before Ailin killed Skali and the other High-Gods.
• Ailin demanded the Undead Sacred Token, and Tishir surrendered a gray stone slab and explained that the Four Divine Beast Family had killed his family to seize it.
• Ailin learned that the Four Divine Beast Family was searching for other Supreme God's Tokens, then left with Hozde and continued onward in the Metal Lifeform.
• Ailin formed his Projection Clone outside Nether Mountain, intending to ask the Death Sovereign whether the token was genuine and potentially offer it to him.

Ailin visited Nether Mountain to ask the Death Sovereign whether the Undead Sacred Token he had encountered in Hell was connected to a Supreme God Mission. She judged the claim likely false without a Supreme God's Seal, but agreed to investigate, leaving Ailin to watch for further news while he focused on Beirut and Augusta.

• Ailin arrived at the Nether Hotel, where Levin led him to the Death Sovereign fishing by the lake.
• The Death Sovereign dismissed Levin and received Ailin, who asked her about the supposed Death Supreme God Mission and the Undead Sacred Token.
• Ailin described the token and the fighting over it in Hell, and the Death Sovereign explained the history and signs of Supreme God Missions.
• The Death Sovereign said the token was probably fake because Ailin had seen no Supreme God's Seal and the next mission should likely concern Life, but she agreed to investigate.
• The Death Sovereign told Ailin to watch for further mission news in Hell, while Ailin decided to focus on Beirut and Augusta.

Ailin examined the Undead Sacred Token while Ladd, Salomon, and Nis hid in Liang'an Prefecture after fleeing the Boyi Family. When the Boyi Family’s pursuers found them, Ladd revealed he belonged to the Aiken Family, and they set out for the Purple Thorn Continent.

• Ailin found that the Undead Sacred Token affected souls but could not determine its purpose, so he set the research aside.
• Ladd thanked Salomon for helping him escape the Boyi Family’s pursuit and explained that an attack left by an Old Ancestor had saved them in Boring City.
• Ladd revealed that his full name was Ladd Aiken, and Salomon and Nis realized he belonged to the powerful Aiken Family.
• A High-God’s Divine Sense swept over their hiding place, and Salomon recognized the pursuer as an expert from the Boyi Family.

• Calorona agreed to search Divine Rat Island and the Material Planes for a God Devouring Rat while Ailin remained on the island.
• Calorona ordered Cristo and the other island masters to mobilize their clansmen, and Hozde later told Ailin that searchers had gone to the Qingya, Karde, and Sliate Planes.
