Chapter Summaries

Ye Ting explained how human will, planetary consciousness, and magic circuits were connected, then ordered Hecate and BB to convert Genesis Eden into imaginary-number space and recast it within the planet’s consciousness. BB began the conversion as Hecate prepared to assist.

• Ye Ting described Amara consciousness as the Realm of Emptiness and connected human will to magic circuits and planetary ley lines.
• Ye Ting explained that the planetary consciousness could retaliate, so he planned to use the planet against itself.
• Hecate pledged to help Ye Ting even if it meant betraying the planet.
• Ye Ting ordered Hecate and BB to convert Genesis Eden into imaginary numbers and recast it within the planet’s consciousness.
• BB began deploying Mooncell’s logical formulas while Hecate prepared to ease spacetime friction.

Ye Ting led the transfer of Genesis Eden through imaginary space so it could be fused with the planet’s unconscious will and allow him and his allies to influence it. After Mooncell completed the transmission, Hecate began reconstructing Genesis Eden at the target coordinates.

• Hecate maintained Genesis Eden as Mooncell’s proof converted the half-plane into imaginary numbers.
• Ye Ting explained his plan to embed Genesis Eden in the planet’s consciousness and use Marble Phantasm in reverse.
• Hecate agreed to help Ye Ting, while BB provided Mooncell’s computational power for the imaginary-number dive.
• BB initiated Zero Sail and transmitted the group through imaginary space toward the planet’s will.
• BB began aligning the ley-line nodes with the target coordinates as Hecate started reconstructing Genesis Eden.

Ye Ting completed Avalon, a dream realm fused with Earth's soul, and gained indirect control over the planet. As Avalon placed the world's powers of life and death in his hands, the seals on his stored knowledge of the First Magic began to open.

• Ye Ting, BB, and Hecate created Avalon by growing a spiritual-vein seed and merging the completed demiplane with Earth's soul.
• Ye Ting used Avalon to influence the planet, whose unconscious soul could not resist his control.
• Ye Ting reflected on the origins of Age of Gods magic and how the Five Great Magics differed from ordinary magecraft.
• The completion of Avalon triggered Ye Ting's stored knowledge from the world's creation to resurface.
• Ye Ting recognized that the First Magic's chain of locks had begun to open, after the Third Magic had been unsealed thousands of years earlier.

Ye Ting learned that the First Magic let him create and alter rules, but its reach was limited by his capacity and could not grant precise advantages to individuals. He discovered that he could use imaginary elements to create new substances with special rules, giving him a way to strengthen himself and prepare to face the gods upon the earth.

• Ye Ting gained the First Magic through his connection to Avalon and the Inner Sea of Stars, learning that it created order by establishing rules.
• Ye Ting tested the First Magic by reversing local gravity and suppressing magical energy across a region, but abandoned an attempt to alter the laws of the entire universe after sensing it would kill him.
• Ye Ting determined that the First Magic affected the world rather than individual people, and that limiting its duration, area, and scope made rule-setting safer.
• Ye Ting realized he could indirectly strengthen individuals by creating new substances and assigning them rules.
• Ye Ting used the imaginary-element attribute of nothing as a means to create powerful tools for confronting the gods upon the earth.

Ye Ting explained that Negation of Nothing could not directly overturn the laws of Earth while the gods remained there. Since gradually replacing divine laws with human laws would take about two hundred years and allow Alaya to awaken, he concluded that godslaying was the only path.

• Hecate and BB learned about Ye Ting’s Negation of Nothing, and Hecate suggested using it to achieve their goal directly.
• Ye Ting explained that the gods on Earth could oppose his new laws, so he would need either to replace their laws gradually or eliminate every god on the surface.
• Ye Ting described how human civilization and Human Order could gradually replace divine laws, drawing on his theory of how the First Magic ended the Age of Gods.
• Hecate asked how long the gradual plan would take, and Ye Ting estimated about two hundred years, enough time for Alaya to awaken.
• Ye Ting rejected the gradual plan and declared that godslaying was the only path.

Ye Ting planned to weaken the world’s pantheons by releasing their divine enemies before launching a godslaying campaign. He began forging a spear named Longinus to oppose divine power.

• Ye Ting judged that he could not defeat the world’s strongest gods head-on and noted that the Norse Pantheon was already nearing Ragnarok.
• Ye Ting asked Hecate whether she could break the seals holding the gods’ enemies, and she said she could with enough time to analyze them.
• Ye Ting proposed releasing foes such as Typhon, Angra Mainyu, Apophis, and Tezcatlipoca to distract and weaken their pantheons.
• BB offered Mooncell’s support, while Ye Ting offered tools made with the First Magic to help Hecate break the seals.
• Ye Ting planned to summon the Inner Sea of Stars during the weakened gods’ battle and forge a divine weapon from Dark Matter to aid the campaign.
• Ye Ting forged the godslaying spear Longinus.

Ye Ting and the goddesses completed Longinus, a weapon built to inflict devastating damage on gods and other long-lived beings. After its birth awed the Inner Sea of Stars, Athena demanded that Ye Ting test its power.

• Ye Ting created Longinus from Anti-True Aether and equipped it with lifespan-damaging power and a god-resistant spatial anchor.
• Athena sacrificed her divine artifact and subordinate goddess Nike, whose power gave Longinus its ability to shift between spear and gun.
• Ye Ting, the goddesses, mages, Qin's alchemists, and the planet itself contributed to Longinus's forging in the Inner Sea of Stars.
• Aphrodite shuddered at the weapon's killing intent, while Artemis teased her and declared she would fulfill any request from Ye Ting.
• Athena grew irritated with Aphrodite and Artemis, then ordered Ye Ting to test Longinus's power.

Ye Ting used the God-Slaying Spear to destroy the divine-power incarnation, proving it could truly kill gods. Athena was shaken by the weapon’s power and became afraid of Ye Ting as he approached her.

• Ye Ting charged across the battlefield and pierced the divine-power incarnation through its divine core with the God-Slaying Spear.
• The spear’s power of lifespan spread through the incarnation, cracking and destroying its divine body, core, divinity, and artificial soul.
• Aphrodite and Artemis marveled at the spear, while Hecate and BB were less surprised because they had helped forge it.
• Athena recognized that the incarnation had been truly killed, unlike gods who merely fell into slumber, and felt fear of the spear.
• Ye Ting noticed Athena trembling and backing away from him, and realized she feared him and the God-Slaying Spear.

Ye Ting reassured Athena about Longinus and then confronted Zadkiel, claiming Yahweh was not truly gone. The chapter ended with Michael confused as Ye Ting challenged the angels’ understanding of what gods were.

• Ye Ting guided Athena’s hand to Longinus and comforted her by revealing that Nike’s soul resided within the spear.
• Nike spoke with Athena, easing her fear of Longinus and restoring her confidence in their shared ideals.
• Ye Ting approached the angels, who had recovered from Yahweh’s death and now served as administrators and guards in the Inner Sea of Stars.
• The angels knelt to congratulate Ye Ting on Longinus, and he pointed the spear at the silent Zadkiel, asking whether she feared a weapon that could kill a god.
• Michael intervened on Zadkiel’s behalf, but Ye Ting said he was targeting Yahweh, not Zadkiel, and mocked Michael for failing to understand the true nature of gods.

Ye Ting explained that gods could return as long as their names survived in memory, and Michael realized Yahweh had been reborn through Zadkiel’s memory authority. Yahweh took control of Zadkiel and confronted Michael, who drew her sword to defend her kin.

• Ye Ting explained to Michael that a god could rise again through memories of its name, even after its divine body and power were destroyed.
• Michael connected Zadkiel’s gloomy behavior and memory authority to Yahweh’s possible return, and Ye Ting confirmed her suspicion.
• Zadkiel revealed that Yahweh had been reborn within her and took on the Heavenly Father’s solemn presence.
• Yahweh rebuked Michael and caused low-ranking angels and some Seraphim to waver under his aura.
• Michael spread her wings, raised her sword against Yahweh, and demanded that he give Zadkiel back.

Ye Ting exposed Yahweh’s plan to use Zadkiel as a vessel for rebirth, but Yahweh revealed that he had linked his life to every angel through their memories. The angels realized he could harm them from within, leaving Michael afraid to challenge the father she once trusted.

• Ye Ting explained that Yahweh chose Zadkiel because her angelic body and power over memory would preserve his strength after rebirth.
• Yahweh admitted his plan and revealed that he had embedded himself in every angel’s consciousness, tying his life to theirs.
• When an angel cursed Yahweh, she collapsed, and Gabriel found that her soul had been severely damaged from within.
• The angels understood that Yahweh could harm them through their memories, and Michael pleaded with him to remember how he had once loved them.
• Yahweh declared that the angels were meant to serve him forever and that their lives belonged to him.

Ye Ting exposed Yahweh’s practice of burning his believers’ souls to sustain his power, but Yahweh tried to use the angels’ lives to restrain him. Ye Ting claimed he would sacrifice the angels to defeat Yahweh, leaving Yahweh and Michael despairing over how little their creators valued them.

• Ye Ting accused Yahweh of manipulating his followers and consuming the souls of vanished Holy Spirits to maintain his power.
• Yahweh admitted exploiting his believers and threatened to kill the angels if Ye Ting attacked him.
• Michael looked to Ye Ting for help, but he showed no concern for the angels’ lives.
• Ye Ting called the angels mass-produced weapons and said he would sacrifice them if necessary to defeat Yahweh.
• Yahweh tried to convince himself Ye Ting was bluffing, but Ye Ting argued that no one at the top of the pantheon could rely on an enemy’s principles.
• Michael and Yahweh were left in despair as Michael realized the angels had never truly mattered to either of their masters.

Ye Ting exposed Yahweh’s lack of leverage and pressured him by challenging him to use the angels as hostages. Yahweh collapsed in fear as Ye Ting threatened to kill the angels himself.

• Winged girls emerged from the lake of light as Yahweh sank into eternal darkness.

After Yahweh’s death, Ye Ting explained that the angels had survived because their true selves were stored in the Angel Reincarnation Pool and their bodies could be rebuilt. The angels apologized to him and discovered that their new bodies had been freed from their seals, leaving them as true girls.

• The angels and fallen angels realized they were alive again after Yahweh died and approached Ye Ting for an explanation.
• Ye Ting told them that their souls and true selves remained in the Angel Reincarnation Pool, while their destroyed bodies were only replaceable shells.
• Michael apologized to Ye Ting, and the other angels followed, admitting they had believed his apparent betrayal.
• Ye Ting revealed that the angels’ reborn bodies had been freed from their seals and now possessed human female organs.

After Yahweh’s death, Ye Ting prepared to conquer Earth by using the Spear of Longinus, the angels, and Qin’s military power. He and Hecate secretly released ancient enemies across the pantheons, plunging the world into divine wars and widespread chaos while Qin remained outside the turmoil.

• Ye Ting gained the ability to manifest the Inner Sea of Stars and Genesis Hells anywhere on Earth, and the Spear of Longinus became capable of killing gods with certainty.
• Ye Ting assembled the 280 empowered angels and Qin’s conventional forces, backed by orbital weapons and expanding resources, for a campaign to unify the world.
• Before beginning the conquest, Ye Ting and Hecate infiltrated the Divine Realms and used the Spear of Longinus to break the gods’ seals and release their enemies.

• Over the following years, divine wars and the uprisings of spirits and Hordes plunged Earth into unprecedented chaos outside Qin’s territory.

The chapter recounted Ragnarok and the devastating losses suffered by pantheons across the world during their divine wars. After describing the weakened state of the surviving gods, it left Ye Ting and his army prepared to begin conquering the world.

• Magi regarded the Age of Gods as a real but poorly understood history and agreed that the world's pantheons had fought divine wars before it ended.
• Freyr, Tyr, Thor, Odin, Loki, and other Norse gods died in Ragnarok, while Vidar killed Fenrir and Surtr's flames destroyed the world.
• Mani, several Norse descendants, and Brunhilde survived, while the other pantheons also suffered severe losses.
• Ye Ting and his army prepared to begin their journey to conquer the world.

After Qin’s armies conquered civilizations across Eurasia and Africa, Ye Ting resumed the divine war, using realms that sealed off True Ether and the Spear of Longinus to hunt the gods. The chapter leaves the Heavenly Host overwhelming Verethragna as the gods continued to fall before Qin and Ye Ting’s forces.

• Tamamo-no-Mae emerged, and Ye Ting faced the beautiful fox demon.

Ye Ting answered the goddesses’ dispute by declaring that they were all his wings, prompting teasing that eased tensions among them. The meeting then turned to replacing True Ether with ether, and Ye Ting explained that he could use the planet’s soul to create a world filled with ether, but would need everyone’s help to perform the complex ritual safely.

• Ye Ting said he liked every size and called the women all his wings, embarrassing himself and drawing protests and jokes from the group.
• Michael pointed out that even angels had at most eight wings, and the others teased Ye Ting about having too many.
