Chapter Summaries

Li Si and Tiya visited the aged Legendary Druid Fellic Crown, who revealed that he had summoned Li Si because he was a World Tree favored one. Fellic asked Li Si to seek Yggdrasil’s help in restoring the Western Desert, and the chapter ended with his plea to return it to its former state.

• Fellic asked Li Si to seek Yggdrasil’s aid in restoring the Western Desert, offering everything he had.

Li Si told Fellic that the World Tree could not restore the Western Desert while it was being corrupted by the Endless Abyss, disappointing Fellic’s lifelong hope. Fellic then gave Li Si and Tiya a powerful Forest’s Breath potion and gifted Li Si three Oasis Seeds, leaving them with a way to create enduring oases.

Li Si traveled with Tiya toward Tu'erte Oasis, gained a new spatial specialty, and continued training Duke. When desert bandits attacked a fleeing group near the caravan, Bryce hesitated to intervene, but a fiery-red woman charged the bandits.

• Bryce ordered the caravan to draw weapons after desert bandits pursued and slaughtered a group of people near them.
• A fiery-red woman rushed past Bryce and sent numerous bandits flying.

Tiya and Bryce fought off desert bandits who had attacked a wandering Sand Tribe for reasons that seemed unrelated to plunder. After a Church of the God of War warrior killed every bandit, Li Si questioned the strange attack and learned her name: Feisi Allen.

• Tiya overwhelmed the two Gold-level bandit leaders while Li Si noticed that the bandits’ presence and actions seemed unusual.
• Bryce told Li Si that the bandits had slaughtered a nearby Sand Tribe whose strongest member was only Silver-level, apparently without seeking wealth.

• Tiya killed one bandit leader and severed the other’s arm, but a blood-colored sword pierced the survivor before Li Si could intervene.
• A black-armored woman from the Church of the God of War killed the remaining bandits with blood-colored spears and introduced herself to Tiya as Feisi Allen, a Slaughter Knight.

Li Si and Tiya encountered Feisi Allen, a Slaughter Knight of the Church of the God of War, after she helped defeat the desert bandits attacking the Sand Tribe. Feisi invited Tiya to join the church for a chance at Divine Power Baptism, but Tiya hesitated, and that night someone confronted Feisi as she tried to leave the oasis.

• Li Si arrived beside Tiya and introduced himself to Feisi, who explained that she had tracked the desert bandits from a nearby oasis and killed one who tried to escape.
• Feisi comforted the Sand Tribe chieftain's daughter and said she had only met the girl the previous day.
• Feisi invited Tiya to join the Church of the God of War, saying Tiya's grasp of the Extraordinary Domain of war made her a strong candidate for becoming a Slaughter Knight and receiving Divine Power Baptism.
• Tiya declined for the moment, and Li Si suggested they discuss the offer after reaching Tu'erte Oasis.
• Late at night, Feisi carefully left the Sand Tribe's oasis, but an unseen person addressed her and said they had been waiting.

Li Si confronted Feisi at the oasis camp and deduced that her alignment had deviated, suspecting she had worked with desert bandits to gain strength through slaughter. He prepared to capture her and turn her over to the Church of the God of War, hoping to secure a God of War Baptism for Tiya.

• Li Si caught Feisi sneaking away from camp at night and challenged her excuse that she had gone for a walk.
• Li Si pointed out that Feisi seemed unlike the Slaughter Knights he knew and accused her of having a deviated alignment.
• Li Si explained that Slaughter Knights could gain power by slaughtering ordinary people and suspected Feisi had aided the bandits who attacked the Sand Tribe.
• Feisi angrily demanded evidence and denied that Li Si could question her faith.
• Li Si decided he could capture Feisi and hand her over to the Church of the God of War in exchange for a chance for Tiya to undergo the God of War Baptism.

Li Si confronted Feisi over her secret slaughter of ordinary people to grow stronger and trapped her in a Space Cage. Feisi summoned the War God's Phantom to strike at him, shattering the cage, while Li Si teleported away and Feisi collapsed.

• Feisi suddenly attacked Li Si, but his layered Magic Shields blocked her sword, and he knocked her back before trapping them in a Space Cage.
• Feisi unleashed her slaughter domain and fought through Li Si's barrage of magic missiles, but he kept her at a distance and wore down her armor's blessing.
• Feisi stopped dodging and summoned the War God's Phantom, which struck once as Li Si escaped with Spatial Teleportation.
• The War God's Phantom vanished, Feisi collapsed, and the Space Cage shattered, leaving a vast scar across the desert.

Li Si defeated Feisi after she summoned the War God's Phantom, captured her, and gained mastery of the Slaughter Domain. He returned to the oasis caravan and told Tiya he would take her to the Church of the God of War to claim benefits.

• Feisi used the War God's Phantom to break Li Si's Space Cage, then escaped a hundred kilometers with a Spatial Teleportation item.
• Li Si tracked Feisi down, knocked her unconscious, and put her into a prolonged slumber to take her to the Church of the God of War as proof of her crimes.
• Li Si's system notifications showed that he had mastered the Extraordinary Domain of Slaughter, resisted the War God's Phantom's consciousness judgment, and defeated Feisi for three million experience points.
• Li Si sealed Feisi in the Secret Chamber within the Copper Ring of Samekhahar and searched her Storage Ring for spoils.
• Li Si returned to the oasis, reassured Bryce and the caravan, and told Tiya he would take her to the Church of the God of War to pick up benefits.

Li Si and Tiya reached Leispe City in Tu'erte Oasis and visited the Church of the God of War. Li Si asked Bishop Lionel Martin to meet him and revealed the unconscious Feisi Martin, leaving Lionel astonished.

• Bryce paid Li Si with the caravan's remaining Gold Coins and gemstones, and Li Si said goodbye to Duke before leaving for Leispe City with Tiya.
• Li Si and Tiya explored Leispe City's marketplace, then went to the Church of the God of War cathedral.

• Li Si asked to see the bishop and was led to a lounge behind the cathedral.
• Li Si introduced the unconscious Feisi Martin to Bishop Lionel Martin, who recognized him with astonishment.

Li Si brought the unconscious Slaughter Knight Feisi to Bishop Lionel and explained that she had ordered desert bandits to massacre ordinary people. After Lionel agreed to take Feisi to Amangdu City for judgment, he brought Li Si and Tiya there, where Li Si sensed the city’s Faith Power.

• Lionel recognized Feisi and challenged Li Si, who identified himself as the leader of Wrath of Nature and proved it with his World Tree emblem.

• Lionel sealed Feisi’s powers, then sent a report to Abraham about her violation of the church’s Precepts.
• Lionel escorted Li Si and Tiya through a Spatial Teleportation array to Amangdu City, where Li Si sensed Faith Power throughout the holy city.

Li Si received a Church token and toured Amangdu City with Tiya while the Church agreed to grant her the God of War Baptism. Archbishop Flynn and Abraham decided Feisi would be sent to the Slaughter Capital, and the chapter ended as Flynn sensed a vortex drawing Faith Power from the city.

• Flynn sensed a vortex forming at the center of Amangdu City and drawing in Faith Power.

Li Si watched the Divine Sword Slyne’s battle phantoms in Amangdu City, memorizing them despite the severe strain until he witnessed Karis defeat a chaotic being and collapsed. The statue then unleashed a miracle that bathed Li Si in divine light, prompting Flynn to seal the area and put the city on alert.

• Flynn ordered the area sealed and the Holy City Guard alerted, then told Ai Wen that he had brought him a huge surprise.

Li Si and Tiya absorbed the God of War’s power from the divine sword Slyne and fainted, prompting Pope Georg to order support for Li Si and invite Tiya into the church. Three days later, Li Si woke in a Church of the God of War room and checked the system notifications documenting the inheritance he had received.

• Black-red radiance from the divine sword Slyne flowed from Li Si into Tiya, and both fainted as Flynn and Ai Wen watched over them.
• Pope Georg delivered the God of War’s oracle, directing the church to support Li Si and guide Tiya Fes into joining without imposing many restrictions.
• The divine sword’s radiance lasted a day, and the church kept the event’s details secret from the public.
• Three days after the miracle, Li Si woke in a church room and opened his system panel.
• Li Si’s notifications showed that he had passed Slyne’s assessments, begun receiving its inheritance, and gained insight into the Extraordinary Domain of War and several skills.

Li Si completed Slyne’s inheritance, gained the God of War Baptism feat, and greatly improved his skills and Extraordinary Domains. He worried that Karis might have noticed his Wisdom Domain before Legendary Majesty Aiven Deen entered the room and greeted him.

• Li Si received 2 billion experience points, mastered Extraordinary Domain and Extraordinary Domain Flame, and gained the God of War Baptism feat.
• Li Si reflected on how the battle phantoms had tempered his will, raised his skill proficiency, and advanced his mastery of Extraordinary Domain Wisdom to Second Layer·55%.
• Li Si realized that Karis might have sensed his Wisdom Domain through the divine sword’s inheritance and decided to watch for changes in the Church of the God of War.
• Aiven Deen entered the room, and Li Si recognized and greeted the Legendary Majesty.
• Ai Wen patted Li Si on the shoulder and teased him for causing trouble.

Li Si learned that his Divine Sword inheritance had caused a citywide vision and that Tiya had absorbed the remaining Faith Power, leaving her asleep but safe. After meeting Church of the God of War leaders Flynn and Abraham, he received the Heart of Slaughter, a Legendary-level item that could improve his control over the Slaughter Domain.

• Ai Wen explained that Amangdu City had witnessed the Divine Sword statue’s vision, which the Church of the God of War had presented as a miracle.

• Abraham gave Li Si the Heart of Slaughter, which Flynn said could improve Li Si’s control over the Slaughter Domain.

Li Si learned that the God of War had issued an oracle ordering the Church of the God of War to support him, while also calling for Tiya to join the church. Archbishop Flynn gave Li Si a token granting church assistance and three uses of a Legendary-level War God Divine Art, leaving Li Si unsure why the God of War had taken an interest in him.

• Li Si accepted Abraham's Heart of Slaughter as an apology for Feisi's actions.
• Flynn asked Li Si about the anomaly at Divine Sword Plaza, and Li Si said he had seen battle phantoms of several great beings, including Karis, the God of War.

• Flynn offered Li Si the church's friendship and gave him a Divine Sword Token that could summon assistance and unleash three Legendary-level War God Divine Arts.
• Li Si accepted the token and decided to remain in Amangdu City until Tiya woke up.

Li Si searched Amangdu City's market for treasures from ancient ruins and opened ten Arcane Cards, finding mostly ordinary items and a statue. Before leaving, he bought a Ruby Brooch that he recognized as a special key and secretly marked its seller to trace the ruin it came from.

• Li Si explored the ruin-treasure stalls in Amangdu City, hoping to find a bargain with his 10 points of Luck.
• Li Si bought ten Arcane Cards from an experienced adventurer and opened them before a crowd, drawing several ordinary items and a Mage statue.
• Li Si put away the card contents to use as future rewards for the White Dove Merchant Guild.
• Li Si bought three pieces of jewelry, including a Ruby Brooch, and asked the stall owner which ruin he had found them in.
• The stall owner refused to reveal the ruin, so Li Si secretly marked him and left, suspecting the brooch was a special key.

Li Si discovered that the Ruby Brooch was an ancient Small World Key that could open a sealed passage to a Pocket World. He entered Jack’s dream to learn where the brooch had been found and spotted a six-pointed star hidden in the ruin’s ceiling as a possible clue to the sealed passage.

• Li Si examined the Ruby Brooch and realized it was a Small World Key, but it could only unseal an existing passage rather than open one by itself.
• Li Si reasoned that the key’s matching passage or clues to it were likely located in the desert ruin where Jack had found the brooch.
• Li Si entered Jack’s dream and used Dream Power to restrain him before asking about the brooch.
• Jack identified the ruin as downstream from the Sha Cao River, three days’ journey from Lasai'er Oasis.
• Li Si followed Jack’s memories into the ruin and noticed a six-pointed star pattern hidden in the bedroom ceiling.

Li Si found a hidden passage to a Pocket World in a ruined palace and weighed the dangers of exploring it while noticing several powerful dream spaces in Amangdu City. After Tiya awakened from absorbing the God of War’s power, she turned down joining the Church of the God of War and chose to receive its Slaughter Knight inheritance without becoming a member.

• Li Si located a concealed Space Channel in the ruins of a former royal palace and planned to explore the Pocket World cautiously after visiting the Azus Temple.
• Li Si sensed the dream spaces of Archbishop Flynn, the pope of the Church of the God of War, and an unidentified blood-red Legendary powerhouse in the Dream World.
• Days later, Li Si found Tiya awake with Ai Wen and Abraham, and Tiya eagerly greeted him after explaining that she had been unable to control her body while absorbing power.
• Tiya told Li Si that Abraham had offered her full Slaughter Knight inheritance and other benefits if she joined the Church of the God of War.
• Tiya chose to receive the Slaughter Knight inheritance without joining the church, and Li Si accepted her decision before leaving to prepare food for her.

Li Si and Tiya traveled south toward Azus Temple, but an oasis town triggered a warning that it was an illusion. A quest notification revealed the town was a special realm, and Li Si decided to investigate cautiously with a Mirror Image clone.

• Tiya received the Church of the God of War's inheritance in Amangdu City and changed her class to Slaughter Knight, bringing her close to Legend.
• After more than ten days of travel, Li Si and Tiya spotted an unmarked oasis and approached its gray town.
• Li Si's mental magic array warned him of an illusion, though he found no altered memories or other abnormalities.
• A system notification identified the area as Small City Stagnant in Time and triggered the Legendary-level quest Ihaileisi's Persistence.
• Li Si inspected the Legendary item Love Beyond Life and Death, then checked that his and Tiya's abilities were unrestricted.
• Li Si summoned a Mirror Image clone and sent it toward the town to scout ahead.
