Chapter Summaries

As five Heretic Sequence powerhouses began transforming toward the Second Rank, the God Emperor of Fate and the Abyssal Demon King maneuvered around their breakthrough, each trying to protect their own interests. Li Qing gave the Abyssal Demon King coordinates for four hidden Celestial God Sequence powerhouses, preserving their deal for further attacks.

• The Fighting Dragon Lord, Causal Buddha, Lord of War, Lord of Despair, and Lord of Balance began receiving the Blue Light Demon Domain's origin baptism to transform their Conceptual Logic Prototypes.
• The Abyssal Demon King attacked a Celestial God Sequence powerhouse while the God Emperor of Fate split his power to defend that target and intercept the Abyssal Demon King's strike against the Fighting Dragon Lord.
• The Abyssal Demon King argued that the God Emperor of Fate should let the five Heretic Sequence members break through, then goaded him into protecting his own forces instead.

• Li Qing gave the Abyssal Demon King precise coordinates for four third-grade powerhouses, explaining that he would not let the Abyssal Demon King eliminate all twelve targets in one sweep.

The Abyssal Demon King and Li Qing carried out their plan, sacrificing powerhouses while steering the Heretic Sequence toward independence from the God Emperor of Fate. By the twentieth breath, a surge of second-rank Concept Logic began redistributing power across the Blue Light Demon Domain.

• God Emperor of Fate killed the Lord of War’s second true body, while the Abyssal Demon King killed Heavenly Thunder True God and then Storm True God after Li Qing revealed their locations.

• Li Qing and Mountain River Earth Emperor continued their staged clash as the twentieth breath passed and second-rank Concept Logic began redistributing power across the Blue Light Demon Domain.

Causal Buddha advanced to second-grade Concept Logic, completing the Heretic Sequence’s first strike and shifting the Blue Light Demon Domain’s power. Li Qing and God Emperor of Fate began the second wave of their plan, as several new powerhouses underwent the origin’s baptism and the major factions clashed to stop them.

• Causal Buddha reached second-grade Concept Logic, increasing the Heretic Sequence’s share of the Blue Light Demon Domain’s power.
• Li Qing and God Emperor of Fate agreed to launch a second strike, with Causal Buddha set to intercept Lord of Stars and God Emperor of Fate assigned to restrain Mountain River Earth Emperor.
• White Jade Devil Lord, Black Devil Monarch, Omniscient Lord Li Qing, Hope Lord Li Qing, and Order Lord Li Qing underwent the Blue Light Demon Race origin’s baptism.
• At the eleventh breath, Abyssal Demon King attacked a Celestial God Sequence powerhouse, while God Emperor of Fate attacked Omniscient Lord Li Qing and Lord of Stars charged at Hope Lord Li Qing.
• Causal Buddha intercepted Lord of Stars, and the two second-grade powerhouses began fighting as Mountain River Earth Emperor assessed whether the Heretic Sequence could continue to hold him back.

Li Qing and the Abyssal Demon King continued their assault while their battle with the God Emperor of Fate reached a stalemate, and the Black Devil Monarch advanced to the second rank. Li Qing prepared to exploit the conflict to siphon the Blue Light Demon Domain’s resources, while coordinating the next attack with the God Emperor of Fate.

• The Abyssal Demon King killed the Battle True God, Seven Kill True God, Ten Thousand Dragons True God, and Golden Light True God, while the God Emperor of Fate and the Abyssal Demon King fought to a stalemate.

• Li Qing’s Divine Body told the Abyssal Demon King that the third wave of impact was near and instructed the God Emperor of Fate to intercept the Mountain River Earth Emperor when the twelfth third-grade powerhouse was attacked.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates quietly infiltrated the region around the Blue Light Demon Domain, while Li Qing relied on the domain’s connection to the Infinite Universe barrier to conceal his Simulated Universe.

Li Qing’s plan entered its third wave as the Heretic Sequence prepared to encircle Rank One powerhouses and help its members break through. The Abyssal Demon King and God Emperor of Fate continued their battle, while Li Qing delayed giving the Abyssal Demon King coordinates and the fighting began anew.

• Li Qing told the Heretic Sequence that the third step had begun and asked Fighting Dragon Lord and Fighting Saint to prepare for the encirclement.
• Five auras rose from the Blue Light Demon Domain as the third wave began, while Abyssal Demon King told God Emperor of Fate he would kill four more Third Rank cultivators and admitted he would break their agreement.
• Abyssal Demon King asked Li Qing’s Divine Body for the ninth Third Rank cultivator’s coordinates, but Li Qing withheld them until the sixteenth breath, limiting the time Abyssal Demon King would have to act.
• God Emperor of Fate mocked Abyssal Demon King for not receiving the coordinates, and Abyssal Demon King answered that God Emperor of Fate had still lost his advantage and gained a new enemy.
• Li Qing’s Present Body clones prepared to evacuate people and seize the Blue Light Demon Domain’s resources, while Lunar Divine Lord attacked Fighting Dragon Lord and White Jade Devil Lord intercepted; Lord of Stars and Causal Buddha continued fighting.

Li Qing's replicas stole a huge share of the Blue Light Demon Domain's resources as the God Emperor of Fate and the Abyssal Demon King continued their plan to kill the Abyssal Demon King. The chapter ended with the Sumeru Patriarch trapped in a prepared formation as four second-grade powerhouses arrived to help contain the Abyssal Demon King.

• The Abyssal Demon King and the God Emperor of Fate killed several of Li Qing's second true bodies while the Eastern Heavenly King and Western Divine Mother also fell.
• The God Emperor of Fate warned Sumeru Patriarch that the Abyssal Demon King would target him and arranged a sealing formation, a teleportation array, and reinforcements.
• Li Qing's replicas stole resources amounting to nearly five percent of the Blue Light Demon Domain, causing violent disturbances across the world.
• The God Emperor of Fate realized Li Qing was stealing the domain's mass, while Li Qing told the Abyssal Demon King to attack Sumeru Patriarch.
• The Abyssal Demon King attacked Sumeru Patriarch as the Fighting Saint escaped through Li Qing's prepared teleportation route and the Fighting Dragon Lord continued his breakthrough.
• The sealing formation trapped the area around Sumeru Patriarch, and four second-grade powerhouses descended through the God Emperor of Fate's teleportation formation.

Li Qing’s allies trapped the Abyssal Demon King in a sealing formation and tried to transport it to Li Qing’s spacetime node, but the passage shattered and the seal broke. Elsewhere, the Fighting Saint survived his promotion to Second Rank, and the Demon King began forming a second true body as the powers converged on the node.

• The God Emperor of Fate reinforced the sealing formation while the Abyssal Demon King drew on the Dark Demon Sequence to resist it and began constructing a second true body.
• Li Qing revealed that he had never intended to cooperate with the Abyssal Demon King, whose projection vanished as the sealing formation neared Li Qing’s spacetime node.
• The Mountain River Earth Emperor attacked the teleportation passage, but Heavenly Dao Reincarnation blocked him; their clash helped shatter the passage and break the seal.
• The Fighting Saint completed his promotion to Second Rank as his second true body perished, while the Fighting Dragon Lord also completed his transformation and headed for Li Qing’s node.
• The God Emperor of Fate and four Second Rank powerhouses joined forces to hold back the freed Abyssal Demon King as its second true body neared completion beneath the Earth Abyss.

Li Qing destroyed the Abyssal Demon King’s second true body and trapped him in a sealed spacetime node, where thirteen Grade Two powerhouses began wearing down his defenses. As the God Emperor of Fate held off the Mountain River Earth Emperor, the Earth Emperor activated a hidden avatar in the Infinite Universe to bring outside forces into the conflict.

• Li Qing’s Present Body used a spacetime passage from the Simulated Universe to destroy the Abyssal Demon King’s nearly completed second true body.
• The God Emperor of Fate’s second wave of power blasted the Abyssal Demon King and his logic into a spacetime node, where Li Qing’s Divine Body sealed them in with an annihilation formation.
• Thirteen Grade Two powerhouses attacked the Abyssal Demon King, who crystallized the prototype of the Final Logic into a strong defense.
• The God Emperor of Fate fought the Mountain River Earth Emperor in deep spacetime and warned him that he could turn the tables if needed.
• The Mountain River Earth Emperor decided to break the deadlock and awakened his hidden second-rank avatar in the Infinite Universe to draw outside forces into the conflict.

Li Qing learned that the Abyssal Demon King had prepared a second true body to summon outside powers if his main body died, making him unable to finish the fight for now. After the God Emperor of Fate and Mountain River Earth Emperor teamed up to trace Li Qing’s Simulated Universe, he moved it and decided to break the stalemate by ending the war for the Infinite Universe Fragments.

• The Mountain River Earth Emperor and the Abyssal Demon King sent incarnations to seek help from the other five great Lords and the Root of the Indescribable if their plans to escape failed.
• Li Qing’s Jade Tablet revealed the Abyssal Demon King’s second true body and its plan to draw outside powers into the Blue Light Demon Domain after the main body died.
• Li Qing realized he could not kill the Abyssal Demon King until he could locate the second true body, and he suspected the Mountain River Earth Emperor also had one outside the universe.
• The God Emperor of Fate and Mountain River Earth Emperor temporarily joined forces to trace Li Qing’s parallel universe, but Li Qing shattered their tracking passages and moved the Simulated Universe.
• Li Qing concluded that he had to break the deadlock from outside and accelerate the war for the Infinite Universe Fragments while advancing the Ark Plan and the attack from within and without.

After concluding that the war in the Blue Light Demon Domain would remain deadlocked for nearly a thousand years, Li Qing began preparing for a decisive battle. He located the Mysterious Unknown in a void forbidden zone and secretly coordinated with the Six Great Kingdom Lords, the Root of the Indescribable, and the Uncertainty Demon Gods.

• Li Qing told the Heretic Sequence Lords to build their strength during a thousand-year stalemate, while White Jade Devil Lord led attacks on the Earth Abyss.
• Li Qing's Faith Incarnation monitored battles across the Infinite Universe, and the Jade Tablet detected an anomalously fast erosion of power in a void forbidden zone.
• The Jade Tablet reconstructed the location of the Mysterious Unknown, and Li Qing decided to wait until he could enter Final Logic before beginning the final war.
• Li Qing informed the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable that he had found the Mysterious Unknown and said they should secretly prepare while maintaining the standoff.
• Four Uncertainty Demon Gods agreed to prepare to kill the Mysterious Unknown so they could break through his barrier and enter the Primordial Chaos.
• The Mysterious Unknown sensed another scan from Li Qing and wondered why Li Qing was searching for him instead of focusing on the stalemated war.

Mysterious Unknown suspected Li Qing was trying to draw him out, while the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root Source of the Unspeakable watched the Infinite Universe Fragments for a chance to strike. After the forbidden zones were fully consumed and the new world grew stronger, Li Qing prepared to lead the continuing Investiture of Gods war through tightly managed military tactics.

• Mysterious Unknown decided to remain in place and keep presiding over the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace rather than risk revealing his location.
• The Lord of Ten Thousand Fates urged the other five Kingdom Lords to prepare for a new war in the Infinite Universe Fragments, while the Root Source of the Unspeakable watched and waited for Li Qing to act.
• The incomplete Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation digested the forbidden zones, strengthening the universe and expanding the World of All Beings and High-Dimensional Spacetime; the universe's will began forming a body and the Eternal Universe logic.
• The new world expanded to nearly two trillion li, while the incomplete Heavenly Dao Reincarnation clashed again and sharply reduced everyone's ability to wield its power.
• Li Qing told his allies that Concept Logic covered roughly four-fifths of the Infinite Universe Fragments and that the Investiture of Gods war must continue.
• Li Qing took command of his army and planned to defeat the Four Sovereigns through careful battlefield management, while acknowledging that they might later have to share control of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Li Qing took command of the armies as both sides began a massive battle, while Heaven and Xuanyuan Changlong secretly planned with the Four Great Sovereigns to assassinate the people around him. The Underworld Devil Lord agreed to distract Li Qing by commanding the ground forces, and Xuanyuan Changlong set out to locate Spiritual Rhinoceros, Bright Heavenly Emperor, and Divine Venerable Xuanyu.

• Li Qing's Past Body rejected the idea of luring the enemy's true bodies into a trap, and the others agreed to try despite the low odds of success.
• Li Qing took command as the armies of both sides clashed across the battlefield, with their upper-level powers largely locked in confrontation.
• Heaven proposed targeting Li Qing's allies, and Xuanyuan Changlong agreed to coordinate a joint strike with the Four Great Sovereigns.
• Xuanyuan Changlong approached Underworld Devil Lord and the other sovereigns, proposing that they exploit the world's temporal lag to attack Li Qing's allies without warning.
• Underworld Devil Lord agreed to command the ground forces and draw Li Qing's attention while avoiding knowledge of the assassination plan's details.
• Xuanyuan Changlong agreed to locate Spiritual Rhinoceros, Bright Heavenly Emperor, and Divine Venerable Xuanyu, while Li Qing's Past Body monitored the battle and counted its losses.

Li Qing’s Past Body saw victory in the Investiture of Gods war but realized that the Sovereigns and their forces could not be eliminated easily. Xuanyuan Changlong’s group launched a coordinated ambush on Spiritual Rhinoceros and the Bright Heavenly Emperor, but Li Qing detected the plan and ordered his allies to gather and kill Xuanyuan Changlong first.

• Li Qing’s Past Body assessed the battlefield and concluded that the final outcome would depend on the armies below, while the Sovereigns would likely survive the war.
• Xuanyuan Changlong used the Uncertainty Manji Sigil to predict Spiritual Rhinoceros’s movements, but could not predict Li Qing or Divine Venerable Xuanyu.
• Xuanyuan Changlong decided that the three Sovereigns would attack the Bright Heavenly Emperor while his own forces targeted Spiritual Rhinoceros.
• Xuanyuan Changlong calculated both targets’ locations, and the attackers began closing in to ambush them.
• Li Qing’s Past Body used the Jade Tablet to uncover the encirclement plan and told his allies to gather at Spiritual Rhinoceros’s location and attack Xuanyuan Changlong.

Li Qing’s group ambushed Xuanyuan Changlong’s allies, killing Desolate Age and forcing the others to retreat. Desolate Age’s allies agreed to help him regain Concept Logic after the Investiture of Gods war, while Li Qing began searching for a way to eliminate the now-united group.

• Li Qing’s five figures struck Xuanyuan Changlong’s ambush, and their attack swept up Desolate Age.
• Desolate Age tried to escape by self-destructing, but Li Qing’s Heart-Destroying Sword erased his Conceptual Logic essence.
• Xuanyuan Changlong and the others realized Li Qing had detected their plan through the changing direction of their logic’s sources, then withdrew.
• Desolate Age returned to the Conceptual Logic Prototype realm, and his allies agreed to help him regain Concept Logic after the Investiture of Gods war.
• Li Qing searched for the gathered allies, but frowned when he realized their combined strength made them difficult to kill within the Heavenly Realm.

Li Qing used the Way of Changes to guide the World of All Beings' armies, giving them the advantage over the All-Beings Dynasty. Faced with imminent defeat, Wishful Celestial Venerable proposed a high-stakes wager, while the four rulers built a defensive barrier that left Li Qing unable to advance or retreat.

• Li Qing failed to predict the enemy's random movements, then used his Past Body and the Way of Changes to coordinate the World of All Beings' attacks one breath into the future.
• The coordinated attacks shattered the All-Beings Dynasty's military formations, leaving its army heavily damaged and at a growing disadvantage.
• Underworld Devil Lord warned the three rulers that their army would be defeated within five thousand years, and Wishful Celestial Venerable proposed a wager between one hundred thousand elite troops from each side.
• The four rulers agreed to the wager and brought their Concept Logic onto the battlefield, strengthening their army and forming a crystalline defensive barrier.
• Li Qing sensed the barrier's purpose and realized it had left him unable to advance or retreat.

Li Qing and the four rulers agreed to settle the Investiture of Gods War with a wager-backed battle between mortal human armies, with all participants limited to the State-Forming realm. The contract and sealed battlefield were established, and both sides set the decisive battle for three days later.

• Li Qing proposed limiting the wager to mortal human armies and suppressing all participants to the State-Forming realm.
• Li Qing's Past Body and the four rulers signed a Heavenly Dao Reincarnation contract that bound their authority and forbade outside interference.
• The two sides created a sealed battlefield a thousand li across, where extraordinary powers and spells would be suppressed.
• Li Qing's side chose incarnations of Li Qing, Xuanyuan Changlong, Spiritual Rhinoceros, and Haoran Sage to take part.
• Underworld Devil Lord agreed to hold the decisive battle in three days, and Li Qing told the others it would determine who secured more divine positions in the Investiture of Gods.

Li Qing and the other sovereigns trained an elite hundred-thousand-strong army in accelerated spacetime before meeting Underworld Devil Lord’s forces on the central battlefield. The two armies began their decisive battle, with victory to be settled by a prolonged fight to the last soldier.

• The sovereigns created a battlefield-like spacetime where one hundred thousand elite soldiers trained for a year at accelerated time under Xuanyuan Changlong, Li Qing, Spiritual Rhinoceros, and Haoran Sage.
• Xuanyuan Changlong developed his command and foresight, while the soldiers endured repeated simulated deaths and learned to follow battle flags as one.
• Li Qing’s Past Body led the trained army to the central battlefield, where Wishful Celestial Venerable, Underworld Devil Lord, and the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings discussed the risks and expected the war to come down to luck and strength.
• Underworld Devil Lord chose a battle of attrition, summoned his hundred thousand troops, and declared that one battle would decide the outcome.
• The two hundred thousand soldiers assembled opposite one another; Xuanyuan Changlong advanced with the army while Li Qing led the vanguard toward the enemy formation.

Li Qing fought the Underworld Devil Lord while the armies clashed, using Way of Changes to study his opponent and discover a weakness that made him expend vital energy faster. The battle spread across the field as Xuanyuan Changlong used the Manji Sigil to predict events and guide his side, while the other two duels remained deadlocked.

• The two armies began fighting, and Li Qing charged the Underworld Devil Lord as their heavy cavalry collided.
• Li Qing and the Underworld Devil Lord exchanged attacks, and Li Qing used Way of Changes to analyze and adapt to his opponent’s fighting style.
• Li Qing discovered that the Underworld Devil Lord wasted vital energy whenever Li Qing redirected his attacks, and he concealed his own rate of exhaustion.
• Haoran Sage and Spiritual Rhinoceros fought Wishful Celestial Venerable and the Heterodox Patriarch without either side gaining the advantage.
• Xuanyuan Changlong used the Manji Sigil to predict the battlefield and adjust his orders as the fighting spread and the military formations re-formed.

Li Qing outmaneuvered the Underworld Devil Lord in their duel, then led a cavalry charge that tore through the High-Dimensional Sovereign's battle line. As the enemy front began to collapse, the Underworld Devil Lord fired a golden signal flare.

• Li Qing used his remaining strength and the Blood-Sweating Steed to overpower the Underworld Devil Lord, who lost his spear and narrowly avoided a fatal strike.
• The Underworld Devil Lord retreated while his guards tried to protect him, and Li Qing's personal guards blocked their attacks.
• Xuanyuan Changlong recognized the breakthrough and shifted the battlefield's formation to send more troops toward Li Qing.
• Li Qing led the heavy cavalry through the enemy ranks, widening a breach until the High-Dimensional Sovereign's battle line began to collapse.
• The Underworld Devil Lord realized he could not stop the charge and fired a golden signal flare into the sky.

The two armies abandoned their attempts to wear each other down and charged into a decisive close-quarters battle. Li Qing and Xuanyuan Changlong coordinated a strike against the Underworld Devil Lord, but the chapter ended as the Devil Lord vanished and Li Qing’s attack missed.

• The Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Lord of the All-Beings Dynasty led the High-Dimensional Rulers in a desperate charge, while Xuanyuan Changlong and Fang Yinglong led the opposing army to meet them.
• The armies collided, and the two Children of Destiny fought while the eight Concept Logic incarnations battled around them.
• Xuanyuan Changlong used his predictions to guide the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings toward Li Qing, as Li Qing and Xuanyuan Changlong aligned their positions for a coordinated attack.
• Li Qing and Xuanyuan Changlong foresaw the same moment and Li Qing struck the Underworld Devil Lord with the Sky-Piercing Halberd.
• The Underworld Devil Lord avoided Li Qing’s blow, leaving Li Qing pitching forward as his attack missed.
