Chapter Summaries

Ailin accepted Xingyi’s offer to approach Mosi and Limontede as potential Emissaries, then learned that the Four Divine Beasts might be behind the spread of the Supreme God Mission and could target him over the Undead Sacred Token. Xingyi also explained the old agreement between Leiding and Zijing, which became awkward after Zijing nurtured Leisijing.

• Xingyi offered Ailin the chance to recruit Mosi and Limontede, and Ailin agreed to meet the powerful experts.
• Xingyi warned Ailin that the Undead Sacred Token was probably not genuine and that Leiding and the Four Divine Beasts might be involved in spreading the Supreme God Mission rumors.
• Ailin realized that Leiding’s group might act against him because he possessed the token, and Xingyi advised him to stay alert.
• Xingyi told Ailin that Leiding had once sought to marry Zijing, who agreed on the condition that no second Purple Crystal Divine Beast appeared within a trillion years.
• Zijing later nurtured Leisijing herself, making Leiding’s agreement moot and leaving the relationship between Zijing and the Four Divine Beasts awkward.

Ailin traveled with Hozde to Miluo Island and summoned Mosi, drawing the attention of the island’s guards and ruling families. After recognizing Ailin as a Paragon High-God, Mosi greeted him respectfully, and Ailin revealed that he had come to relay an Overgod’s order.

• Ailin sent Hozde’s Destruction God Avatar with him toward the Star Mist Sea while leaving Hozde’s Water God Avatar on Divine Rat Island to relay news.
• Ailin and Hozde crossed the Sea of Chaos and reached Miluo Island after traveling through the waters between Blood Peak Continent and Muya Continent.

• Mosi recognized Ailin, greeted him respectfully, and heard Ailin say that he had come to relay an Overgod’s order.

• Ailin flew into Miluo Island with Hozde, while Sekla and the Bagshaw family arranged a welcome and watched for trouble.
• Ailin told Mosi he had come to accept him as an Envoy for the Blood Nether Main God, and Mosi agreed after learning the Stellar Lord God supported the arrangement.

• Mosi requested a physical attack Sovereign Artifact for his Death God Avatar, and Ailin gave him a crescent-shaped Death-attribute blade.

Ailin and Mosi traveled through the Star Mist Sea to meet Limontede, but they encountered Puslin and a tentacle monster fighting over a Magic Box tied to Limontede. After Puslin killed the monster and took its Space Rings, Ailin sent Mosi to reclaim the item.

• Ailin told Mosi to accompany him to meet Limontede, and Mosi brought his Destruction God Avatar and main body along.
• While traveling north, Ailin, Mosi, and Hozde stopped to watch Puslin battle a tentacle monster named Puslin.
• The tentacle monster showed Limontede's token and surrendered Onikasi's Space Ring, but Puslin discovered the Magic Box was missing and attacked again.
• Puslin killed the tentacle monster and seized several Space Rings despite its warning that Limontede would seek revenge.
• Ailin, curious about the Magic Box and its connection to Limontede, told Mosi to take the item from Puslin.

Ailin, Mosi, and Hozde traveled to Wind Kylin Abyss, where Limontede prepared to retaliate against Puslin for taking the Magic Box. Mosi called Limontede out, and as Limontede approached, Ailin secretly told Mosi to test his strength.

• Ailin discovered that the Space Rings taken from Puslin could not be opened and kept them, expecting Limontede to be able to unlock them.
• Limontede ordered Pavo to take Massimo and kill Puslin for stealing the Magic Box and defying him.
• Half a month later, Ailin, Mosi, and Hozde arrived at Wind Kylin Abyss, and Mosi flew ahead to summon Limontede.
• Limontede heard Mosi's voice penetrate the palace's Magic Arrays and flew up to meet him.
• Ailin concealed himself from Mosi and Limontede, then instructed Mosi to test Limontede's strength; Mosi prepared to fight.

Mosi challenged Limontede to a spar at Wind Kylin Abyss, and the two fought at full strength. Ailin intervened and revealed a vast gap between his speed and Limontede’s, leaving Limontede shaken by the power of Paragon High-Gods.

• Mosi provoked Limontede into a spar by claiming he would take the title of strongest in the Star Mist Sea if Limontede refused to fight.
• Limontede transformed and met Mosi in the clouds above Wind Kylin Abyss, where Mosi attacked with his Sovereign Artifact hammer.
• Limontede used his extraordinary wind-and-lightning speed to evade Mosi and launch repeated attacks, while Mosi blocked and countered them.
• Ailin and Hozde watched the battle, and Ailin judged Limontede strong but noted that his weaknesses might let coordinated opponents trap him.
• Ailin abruptly pulled Mosi and Limontede together and appeared between them, revealing himself to Limontede.
• Limontede recognized Mr. Ailin and became solemn after seeing how easily Ailin surpassed his speed.

Ailin recruited Limontede as a Sovereign’s Emissary for the Bloodridge Sovereign and gave him the Prism Feather Robe. Afterward, Limontede revealed that Pavo had possessed a Tattered Crown and an informational sheet that might be a treasure the Overgod needed.

• Ailin offered Limontede a place as an Envoy, and Limontede accepted to serve the Overgod alongside Mosi.
• Ailin gave Limontede the Physical Defense Sovereign Artifact called the Prism Feather Robe, which Limontede bound to himself.

• Limontede hosted Ailin and Mosi at his residence, where Ailin asked about Pavo and the stolen Space Ring.
• Limontede explained that Pavo had carried a Tattered Crown and an informational sheet, and that the information might concern a treasure the Overgod needed.

Ailin learned that Pavo’s information described the Wutie Crown as a Supreme God’s Token, despite conflicting with the known tokens. After recovering Pavo’s Space Rings, Ailin opened the Magic Box and found the crown, leaving him increasingly certain it was genuine.

• Limontede told Ailin and Mosi that Pavo’s sheet identified the Wutie Crown, nine Life Spirit Pearls, and a Red Diamond as the three tokens of a Supreme God Mission.
• Ailin ordered Limontede to summon Pavo and revealed that Mosi had killed Puslin after Puslin killed Pavo.
• Macio brought Pavo back from Cangyu Island, and Ailin asked him to unbind the Space Rings Puslin had stolen.
• Ailin found the Magic Box among the rings, dismissed Pavo, and destroyed the box’s Magic Array.
• Ailin opened the box and found a tattered crown beside a sheet of paper, becoming increasingly certain the crown was genuine.

Ailin confirmed that the Supreme God's Seal and Wutie Crown were genuine, while ten thousand years later Salomon brought the injured Ladd to Heavenly Rock Peak, where Ladd used Aiken's token to gain an audience with the Clan Leader. When Aiken told Ailin about Ladd's return alongside Salomon and Nis, Ailin noticed that events seemed to be converging with the original story and wondered whether an ultimate being was manipulating them.

• Ailin tested the Supreme God's Seal and Wutie Crown, confirmed both were genuine, and told Mosi and Limontede to keep an eye out for the other tokens.
• Salomon reached Heavenly Rock Peak and persuaded the Aiken Family guards to let him bring the injured Ladd back.
• Ladd emerged from seclusion with his soul injuries still worsening, and Salomon and Nis accompanied him to Heavenly Rock Peak.
• Dexi recognized Ladd's Clan Leader Token, changed his attitude, and led Ladd and his companions inside to meet Aiken.
• Aiken told Ailin that Ladd had returned with Salomon and Nis, prompting Ailin to question whether the original story's events were being deliberately brought about.

Aiken revealed a strange Stone Slab on Snow Wind Island that had triggered his Soul Mutation and could force the mutation to begin in a near-death soul. Ailin learned that it could not improve the mutation’s low chance of success, leaving the discovery powerful but perilous.

• Ailin ordered Aiken to keep Ladd cultivating on the Purple Thorn Continent until both Divine Clones reached the High-God level.
• Aiken admitted he had a secret connected to the Brinia Plane and said it might help Ladd, then led Ailin to Snow Wind Island.
• Aiken explained that he had visited the Brinia Plane for ages and that the ancient traces Ailin found had been left by enemies Aiken killed.
• Aiken revealed an ice-imbued Stone Slab beneath the Ice Snow Temple and explained that the temple’s founder had once learned ice magic from him.
• Aiken told Ailin that the Stone Slab could guarantee a near-death soul began Soul Mutation, but could not help it survive the process.
• Ailin judged the Stone Slab a dangerous, mostly useless treasure and had no intention of attempting Soul Mutation.

Ladd chose to risk Soul Mutation, and Aiken took his injured main body back to the Brinia Plane while arranging for Ladd to recover and cultivate at Heavenly Rock Peak. Salomon then left for the Boyi Family to investigate its secrets, leaving Nis with Ladd and carrying Ladd’s token for protection.

• Ailin and Aiken explained the dangers of Soul Mutation, and Ladd agreed to attempt it with his main body.
• Aiken personally took Ladd’s main body toward the Brinia Plane, while his Destruction God Avatar healed Ladd’s Water and Fire Divine Clones.
• Ladd returned to Heavenly Rock Peak and reassured Salomon and Nis that his injuries had healed.
• Salomon decided to return to the Boyi Family to investigate what had happened, while Ladd and Nis urged him to leave Nis behind for her safety.
• Ladd lent Salomon Aiken’s token, and Salomon departed the next day as Ladd and Nis began cultivating in seclusion.

Aiken investigated the Boyi Family and ordered his forces to look into the Fox Family’s backers, while Ladd returned to Brinia Plane to undergo Soul Mutation. Ailin brought Ladd’s soul to the verge of collapse and placed him on the Stone Slab, where the mutation began as Ailin watched, unable to intervene.

• Aiken learned that the Boyi Family was backed by Gnaeus and that Fox was leading a growing campaign against them, so he ordered an investigation into Fox’s support.
• Thirty years later, Aiken brought Ladd back to Brinia Plane, where Hamdan saw them arrive and wondered about Ailin’s power.
• Aiken and Ladd reached the Ice Snow Temple, and Ladd confirmed to Ailin that he still wanted to risk Soul Mutation.
• Ailin brought Ladd’s soul to the verge of collapse with a single ray of light and told Aiken to take him to the Stone Slab.
• When Aiken laid Ladd on the Stone Slab, its energy joined with Ladd’s soul energy and the nearby water- and fire-element essence, beginning the Soul Mutation.

Ailin watched Ladd undergo Soul Mutation while Aiken explained the process and its dangers. After several months of growth and a tense final stage, Ladd awakened, confirming that his Soul Mutation had succeeded.

• Aiken recognized Ailin as an Overgod, and Ailin acknowledged his identity before asking about the usual duration of Soul Mutation.
• Aiken explained that his own mutation had taken five years and that his previous experiments had all failed, while Ailin monitored Ladd's soul as it grew.
• After ten days, Ladd's soul recovered to its former state and began growing as the surrounding fire and water elements were absorbed.
• Three months later, the elements had vanished and Ladd's soul entered its dangerous final stage, where its growth stopped and its strength stabilized at more than ten times its previous foundation.
• After two more days, Ladd opened his eyes, and Ailin confirmed that his Soul Mutation had succeeded.

After his Soul Mutation succeeded, Ladd returned to the Aiken Family on Purple Thorn Continent and began planning how to assimilate his Divine Clones’ souls and strengthen his Fire God Avatar. He promised to take Nis to Bifu Continent to search for Salomon, leaving her a thousand years to cultivate before they went.

• Ailin sent Ladd and Aiken to Hell so Ladd could reunite with his Divine Clones and complete their soul mutations.
• Aiken brought Ladd back to the Aiken Family, where Ladd learned that his Water God Avatar had reached the High-God realm during their century-long journey and planned to assimilate his Fire God Avatar’s soul before advancing it.
• Aiken promised to teach Ladd more about Soul Mutations once Ladd’s Divine Clones’ souls were assimilated and his Fire God Avatar reached the High-God realm.
• Ladd reassured Nis that the family was investigating Salomon’s disappearance and promised to accompany her to Bifu Continent if Salomon had not returned.
• Nis asked Ladd to lend her a High-God Spark if she could not advance, and Ladd promised to take her to find Salomon after another thousand years of cultivation and let Salomon advise her about refining a spark.

Calorona returned to the Qingya Plane, learned that a God War had split the Qingya Continent into five continents, and recruited its God-level beings to search for the God Devouring Rat. After sending Kaplais and Boga to organize the search, she remained in her homeland hoping it might hold the rare beast she sought.

• Calorona surveyed the Yulan Continent, discovered Kaplais and Boga, and summoned them to North Shore Forest.
• Kaplais and Boga met Calorona, who asked why the Qingya Continent had become five continents.
• Kaplais explained that a God War over Faith Power had split the continent a hundred million years earlier, and that the Plane Guardian had imprisoned or killed many of the offenders.
• Calorona asked Kaplais and Boga to gather the Qingya Plane’s God-level experts and search for rodent magical beasts with powerful bloodlines, offering divine sparks as rewards.
• Kaplais and Boga departed to contact the other God-level beings, while Calorona considered whether the God Devouring Rat might be in her homeland.

Calorona searched the Qingya Plane for unusual rat-type lifeforms and discovered a powerful Saint Domain rat battling a Thunder Dragon in North Shore Forest. After the rat killed the dragon, it greeted the suddenly appearing Calorona as its lord.

• Calorona searched the Qingya Plane for rare rat-type lifeforms and noticed a Saint Domain rat fighting a Thunder Dragon in North Shore Forest.

• The Thunder Dragon died, and the rat emerged with a broken foreleg before preparing to take the dragon’s crystal core.
• Calorona appeared nearby without the rat sensing her, and the rat addressed her as its lord.

Calorona discovered that Beirut was a rat-type life born from heaven and earth and took him under her guidance. After thirty years, Beirut became a god and revealed that his Innate Divine Ability was God Devourer, astonishing Calorona.

• Beirut told Calorona that he had no parents and did not know how he came into being, leading her to suspect he was a divine beast.
• Calorona healed Beirut, offered to guide his cultivation, and promised him an opportunity after he became a god; Beirut accepted and followed her.
• Over the next thirty years, Calorona and other God-level experts encouraged rat populations across the Qingya Plane to grow, while Beirut cultivated the Shadow Transformation Clone Technique.
• Beirut comprehended the Shadow Transformation Clone Technique, became a god, and learned that his Innate Divine Ability was God Devourer.
• Calorona reacted with shock when Beirut told her the name of his Innate Divine Ability.

Calorona told Beirut that his God Devourer ability likely identified him as a God Devouring Rat, a bloodline sought by the Paragon High-God Ailin at an Overgod’s request. Beirut learned about Divine Rat Island and the powers pursuing his bloodline, and remained wary but hopeful as they continued toward the island.

• Calorona brought Beirut through the Divine Planes toward Divine Rat Island and invited him to address her by name.
• Calorona explained that she was a Divine Wind Rat from the Qingya Plane and had founded Divine Rat Island as a refuge for rat-type lifeforms.
• Calorona revealed that she had been searching for the God Devouring Rat bloodline and believed Beirut possessed it because of his Innate Divine Ability.
• Calorona told Beirut that Mr. Ailin, a Paragon High-God, was searching for him at an Overgod’s request.
• Beirut learned that Overgods ruled the Divine Planes and could overpower even Paragon High-Gods, leaving him both uneasy and hopeful about what awaited him.

Ailin learned from Limontede that Soul Mutation enabled the fusion of different elemental Profound Mysteries, though Limontede suspected a soul could fuse no more different types than the number of elements involved. The discussion ended when Hozde reported that Calorona had found a man named Beirut who might be a God Devouring Rat, and Ailin would need to confirm his identity.

• Limontede explained how Soul Mutation affected the soul, divine clones, and comprehension of different Laws.
• Ailin asked whether Soul Mutants could fuse unlimited types of Profound Mysteries, and Limontede described the difficulty and an apparent limit on such fusion.
• Limontede speculated that Soul Mutants could fuse at most one different type of Profound Mystery per mutated element, and Ailin considered whether mutations involving an Edict might work differently.
• Hozde reported that Calorona had brought a man named Beirut, suspected to be a God Devouring Rat, to Divine Rat Island for Ailin to identify.

Ailin returned to Divine Rat Island and met Beirut, confirming that he was a young God Devouring Rat whose innate ability could devour divine sparks. He made Beirut an Overgod’s Envoy, gave him a Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, and left him in Calorona’s care to cultivate toward the High-God realm.

• Ailin returned to Divine Rat Island with Mosi and Limontede, then ordered Calorona to bring Beirut to him when she returned.
• Mosi and Limontede wondered why the Overgod valued Beirut, and Ailin described the God Devouring Rat as invincible among those of the same rank.
• Calorona returned three years later with Beirut, a newly ascended Low God from the Qingya Plane.
• Beirut confirmed that his innate ability, God Devour, could consume divine sparks, and Ailin confirmed that he was a God Devouring Rat.
