Chapter Summaries

Qian Renxue and her companions planned to cross the Tomb of the Gods to seek clues about the Angel God, the Ancient God War, a cure for the curse, and the Wind God Inheritance fragment. They entered the Tomb with thirty days inside to reach the core, arriving in a wasteland strewn with the skeletons of fallen Deities.

• Dai Chengfeng explained the Tomb's three layers, its dangerous middle forest and core, and the tokens needed to activate its exits.
• Qian Renxue, Tang Wulin, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng agreed to reach the Core of the God Tomb and search for their respective answers and objectives.
• Bibi Dong set a departure for three days later, and Qian Renxue wondered what her ancestor Gracia had experienced and chosen ten thousand years earlier.
• At the God Realm Hub, Tang San warned the group they had three days outside, equal to thirty days inside, before the entrance had to be closed.
• Bibi Dong, Dai Chengfeng, Qian Renxue, and Tang Wulin entered the Tomb of the Gods and emerged in a deathly wasteland covered in enormous Deity skeletons.

Qian Renxue and her companions crossed the Plain of God's Bones toward the God Devouring Insects' nest, hoping to avoid a powerful guardian at the central altar. When the insects swarmed them, Bibi Dong cleared a path with her Great Purification Spell, but warned that a stronger presence was awakening deeper in the nest.

• Bibi Dong gave the group wind beacons, and Dai Chengfeng explained that the central altar's guardian was an Ancient Guard at least as strong as a First Class God.
• Qian Renxue chose the route through the God Devouring Insects' nest rather than risk fighting the guardian.
• The group encountered God-Corroding Miasma and skirted it before Tang Wulin spotted God Devouring Insects feeding on a dragon skeleton.
• The insects swarmed the group, but Bibi Dong's Wind Wall, Tang Wulin's spear, Qian Renxue's Holy Fire, and Dai Chengfeng's wind blades could not stop their advance.
• Bibi Dong used the Great Purification Spell to destroy the insects within a hundred zhang, then urged the group onward as a stronger aura awakened in the nest.

Qian Renxue, Tang Wulin, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng crossed the God Devouring Insect nest after Tang Wulin fought and killed its Mother Insect. They headed toward the Forest of Fallen Gods, unaware that the Abyss had awakened behind them.

• Dai Chengfeng warned that a peak Second Class God Mother Insect guarded the cave, but Qian Renxue ordered the group to charge through.
• Tang Wulin stayed behind to hold off the Mother Insect while Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Dai Chengfeng pushed toward the exit.
• Qian Renxue helped clear the path with Holy Fire as the others escaped the cave, worried that Tang Wulin was still fighting.
• Tang Wulin emerged from the cave and killed the Mother Insect with his Golden Dragon Spear, causing the ordinary God Devouring Insects to retreat.
• Bibi Dong urged the group to enter the Forest of Fallen Gods before other wasteland creatures arrived, and the four set off toward it.
• As the group left, sleeping beings in the wasteland awakened and watched them, while the Abyss stirred.

Dai Chengfeng, Tang Wulin, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong entered the Forest of Fallen Gods, where Soul Devouring Trees preyed on travelers by exploiting their memories. Tang Wulin heard an illusion of Gu Yuena calling for help and turned toward a silver-haired figure in the forest.

• Dai Chengfeng explained that the Forest of Fallen Gods had formed from the remains and lingering resentment of fallen Deities.
• Bibi Dong warned the group that Soul Devouring Trees sensed Divine Soul fluctuations and that they must keep moving, ignore calls, and trust nothing they saw.
• Tang Wulin crossed into the forest first, and the group followed along a narrow path while the trees watched them.
• Tang Wulin heard Gu Yuena's voice pleading for help, and Bibi Dong warned him that the Soul Devouring Trees were using his memories to create an illusion.
• Tang Wulin ignored the warning and turned toward a vision of a silver-haired woman bound in black vines.

Qian Renxue, Tang Wulin, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng crossed the Forest of Fallen Gods, resisting Soul Devouring Tree illusions until they reached a Tree King that recognized Bibi Dong. Its imprisoned consciousness accused Bibi Dong of helping plan the ancient betrayal of the God Realm, leaving Qian Renxue questioning her mother.

• Qian Renxue used Holy Fire to wake Tang Wulin from an illusion of Gu Yuena, then Bibi Dong knocked Dai Chengfeng unconscious when he followed an illusion of his younger sister.
• Tang Wulin used his Golden Dragon Berserk Domain to suppress the illusions as the group continued through the forest.
• The group reached a clearing dominated by a massive Tree King surrounded by the bones of fallen God-level experts.
• Bibi Dong left Tang Wulin's domain, and the Tree King greeted her as Rakshasa and a former collaborator.
• Bibi Dong explained that the Tree King contained a god imprisoned for betraying the God Realm, but the prisoner accused her and her teacher of joining the plan; Qian Renxue asked her mother if it was true.

Bibi Dong revealed that the God Tomb began as a sealed-off region of the God Realm polluted by Abyssal energy, and Edwin challenged her motives and her teacher’s secret. After Bibi Dong used the Nether God Seal to bargain with him, Edwin opened a passage to the God Tomb’s core and entrusted her with a seed containing the last pure fragment of his Divine Soul.

• Bibi Dong explained that she and Edwin had joined a secret effort to study and control the Abyss, which spiraled out of control and led to the creation of the God Tomb.
• Edwin told Bibi Dong that her teacher had imprisoned herself in the God Tomb to guard a secret about the God Realm and the Abyss.
• Edwin sent vines to attack Qian Renxue, but Bibi Dong approached the Tree King and revealed the Nether God Seal.
• Bibi Dong offered either to seek Edwin’s freedom or to annihilate his remaining Divine Soul, and Edwin agreed to open a passage in exchange for delivering his seed to her teacher.
• Edwin opened a secret staircase to the God Tomb’s core region, warning that he did not know what lay at its end.

Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Tang Wulin, and Dai Chengfeng descended beneath the Tree King and discovered that Isis was trapped behind an Abyss Gate. Ares revealed that Isis’s seal would fail within three hundred years, but said she was waiting for someone who could close the gate.

• Tang Wulin sensed a powerful living presence below the stairs, and Edwin warned that the Abyss might be eroding Bibi Dong’s teacher, Isis.
• Bibi Dong led Qian Renxue, Tang Wulin, and Dai Chengfeng down the stairs, where they found that the surroundings were part of a vast living entity.
• The Tomb Keeper appeared and revealed that he was the corrupted former War God Ares, who had guarded the gate for thirteen thousand years.
• Ares explained that rebel gods had opened the Abyss Gate in a failed experiment, polluting the God Realm and its guardians.
• Ares confirmed that Isis was behind the gate, holding it shut with a weakening seal and slowly being assimilated by the Abyss.
• Ares said Isis was waiting for someone who could close the gate, but the four were left asking who that person was.

Ares revealed that Tang Wulin was prophesied to reforge the Abyss Gate’s Seal, though doing so could cost him his powers and life. The group entered the abyss’s twisted reflection to reach Isis’s remaining consciousness, where an army of monsters awaited them.

• Ares told Tang Wulin that only his Dragon God Power could reforge the Seal, but the process could drain his power or destroy his life.
• Tang Wulin accepted the danger but promised Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng that they would find a way to close the gate without sacrificing anyone.
• Ares pledged to guide and aid Tang Wulin, then opened the Abyss Gate and warned the group to trust one another rather than their senses.
• Ares explained that Isis’s godhead had become the Tree of Life, whose roots were corrupted and whose crown bore abyssal embryos, and pointed out her core consciousness surrounded by guards.
• Monsters emerged around the Tree of Life, and Tang Wulin, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Dai Chengfeng, and Ares prepared for battle as the fight began.

Tang Wulin, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Ares, and Dai Chengfeng fought the Abyss’s seemingly endless monsters in the God Realm’s reflection. Qian Renxue sensed Isis calling in pain, while Bibi Dong warned that the group risked being worn down by the unending assault.

• Ares told the others to destroy the monsters’ heads or cores to prevent them from regenerating.
• Tang Wulin shattered Black Bone Beasts with the Golden Dragon Spear, while Bibi Dong used Death Aura and lost souls to destroy the energy-devouring Shadow Maws.
• Dai Chengfeng used precise sword strikes to kill a powerful monster emerging from a crack.
• Qian Renxue spread her Holy Domain, weakening Abyssal creatures and boosting her allies, and told Tang Wulin that Isis was calling to them in pain.
• Tang Wulin and the others continued fighting as monsters poured in endlessly, and Bibi Dong warned that they would be worn down; Ares reached her side and pinned a Shadow Maw.

Tang Wulin broke the Seventeenth Seal of the Golden Dragon King and awakened embryonic Dragon God Wings, destroying an Abyssal tumor and the Abyss Lord being nurtured within it. The remaining monsters turned their assault on him as he prepared to destroy the other seven tumors.

• Ares explained that the Abyssal tumors supplied the land’s power and that destroying them would weaken the monsters, but a guarded tumor attacked Tang Wulin and his allies with massive tentacles.
• Tang Wulin rose from the crater and revealed that breaking the last two of his eighteen seals could cost him his reason, then opened the Seventeenth Seal despite Qian Renxue’s warning.
• Tang Wulin transformed, manifested embryonic Dragon God Wings, and pierced the tumor with his Golden Dragon Spear, killing the Abyss Lord consciousness inside and causing the tumor to explode.
• Tang Wulin saw that seven tumors remained, while the monsters abandoned their other targets and surged toward him.
• Qian Renxue called on the others to protect Tang Wulin as the monsters launched their counterattack.

Tang Wulin destroyed six Abyss tumors while Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Dai Chengfeng, and Ares protected him, but the seventeenth Seal began to overwhelm his body. With Isis’s consciousness fading and two tumors remaining, Ares stepped forward to continue the fight.

• Bibi Dong transformed her Rakshasa God into a three-headed, six-armed Asura form, Dai Chengfeng summoned a tornado of Wind Element, and Ares fought through the monsters to protect the group.
• Tang Wulin defeated the three Abyss Lords guarding the second tumor by devouring one, piercing the vengeful spirits’ heart, and destroying the flesh giant, then shattered the tumor.
• Tang Wulin destroyed the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth tumors while Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, Dai Chengfeng, and Ares cleared enemies and guarded his flanks.
• Tang Wulin’s seventeenth Seal began to backlash, and Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong stopped him from continuing as his body and reason neared their limits.
• Ares, badly mutated and losing his sanity, stepped forward to face the remaining tumors while Isis’s consciousness continued to weaken.

Ares sacrificed his godhead to shatter the abyss’s laws and give Tang Wulin and the others thirty breaths to reach Isis. Qian Renxue reached Isis’s consciousness beneath the Tree of Life, and Isis began to recognize her as the Angel God.

• Ares explained that destroying the domain’s law would disperse the abyss’s power, then chose to detonate his godhead rather than attack the seventh tumor.
• Ares burned his divine body, Divine Soul, and godhead, shattering the abyss’s laws and freezing the monsters.
• Tang Wulin, Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng raced toward the Tree of Life during the brief opening.
• The group fought through abyssal tentacles and reached Isis’s consciousness on the twenty-eighth breath.
• Qian Renxue took Isis’s hand and told her they had come to save her and close the Abyss Gate.

Tang Wulin released the Eighteenth Seal to gain enough Dragon God Power to purify the Tree of Life and seal the Abyss Gate, risking losing control to the Golden Dragon King's destructive instinct. He emerged fully transformed as the defenders’ line nearly collapsed, and Isis said his consciousness was still fighting and he could be saved.

• Isis explained that Tang Wulin had to pour Dragon God Power into the Tree of Life to purify it and permanently seal the Abyss Gate, though doing so would turn her into a new Tree Spirit.
• Tang Wulin decided to undo the Eighteenth Seal, and Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng agreed to protect him while he did.
• Tang Wulin shattered the seal and fought the Golden Dragon King's Origin Will inside his Consciousness Sea.
• Bibi Dong, Dai Chengfeng, and Qian Renxue held back the Abyssal monsters as their defenses weakened.
• Tang Wulin opened his eyes fully transformed, and Isis warned that the Golden Dragon King's instincts controlled him but his consciousness was still fighting.

Tang Wulin regained control of himself and purified the Tree of Life, allowing it to permanently seal the Abyss Gate. The effort left him mortal with less than ten years of vitality, and the gate remained sealed rather than closed as he and his companions prepared to go home.

• Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng reminded Tang Wulin of his promises and memories, helping him reclaim control from the Golden Dragon King.
• Tang Wulin fused creation and destruction powers to purify the Tree of Life and recast the seal.
• Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng held back the abyssal giant hand, while Isis merged with the Tree of Life to destroy it and complete the purification.
• The restored Tree of Life permanently sealed the Abyss Gate, but Isis's consciousness scattered into a new Tree Spirit.
• Bibi Dong discovered that the Eighteenth Seal's backlash had made Tang Wulin mortal, sealed his Golden Dragon King Bloodline, and left him less than ten years of vitality.
• Tang Wulin warned that the abyss's true body might eventually challenge the seal, then told Qian Renxue they should go home.

After sealing the Abyss Gate, Tang Wulin returned to the God Realm with Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Dai Chengfeng, gravely weakened and with less than ten years of life remaining. His family and the God Realm’s leaders gathered to help, but the Goddess of Life found that his damaged life-force origin could not be restored by outside power.

• The Tree of Life sealed the Abyss Gate, while Bibi Dong confirmed that Tang Wulin’s dwindling life force could not be recovered and that his Golden Dragon King Bloodline was sealed.
• Qian Renxue supported Tang Wulin as Bibi Dong and Dai Chengfeng guided the group out of the wasteland and through a temporary passage to the God Realm.
• Tang San, Xiao Wu, their relatives, and Tang Wulin and Qian Renxue’s children welcomed them in the Quiet Garden and learned how severely Tang Wulin had been harmed.
• Tang San ordered Tang Wulin taken to the Temple of Life, assigned Yuhao to summon the God Kings, and told Ji Dong to report that the Abyss Gate remained sealed but required surveillance.
• The Goddess of Life examined Tang Wulin and said his life-force origin could not be replenished by external power, leaving him to recover on his own with little time remaining.

After waking with his life force nearly spent, Tang Wulin chose to cultivate from the beginning rather than accept a few remaining years of life. His family and the gods began the dangerous process of stripping away his divine power and bloodline so he could be reborn as a cultivator.

• The God of Destruction and Goddess of Life explained that Tang Wulin's Origin had collapsed and offered a search for the Seed of Life or a risky return to cultivation from the start.
• Qian Renxue stayed beside Tang Wulin while the Goddess of Life nourished him, and he woke after seven days with less than ten years to live.
• Tang Wulin chose to cultivate again so he could remain with Qian Renxue and their family, and the Goddess of Life planned to reshape his meridians.
• The Goddess of Life and God of Destruction used the Ancient Tree of Life to strip away Tang Wulin's remaining Golden Dragon King bloodline and Dragon God Position.
• After the six-hour ritual succeeded, Tang San carried the weakened Tang Wulin to a quiet side hall while Qian Renxue began keeping watch.

After months of painful recovery, Tang Wulin rebuilt his meridians and reached spirit power rank ten, then slowly advanced to rank fifteen. When the Eye of Annihilation awakened beyond the abyssal seal and began seeking a vessel, Tang Wulin helped the God Realm prepare a trap, and the abyssal will locked onto his bloodline aura.

• Tang Wulin spent months recovering in the Lake of Life while Qian Renxue and their children cared for him, and Bibi Dong and Dai Chengfeng sent him soul-nourishing herbs.
• Tang San implanted a spirit power seed in Tang Wulin, who endured agonizing cultivation and eventually broke through to rank ten before advancing to rank fifteen.
• The God Realm Oversight Hall reported that the Tree of Life's purification had awakened the Eye of Annihilation, which was reaching beyond the stable seal through dark red cracks.
• Tang Wulin proposed baiting the Eye of Annihilation with an illusion using his Golden Dragon King bloodline aura, and the God of Destruction approved the plan with restrictions.
• At Void Cliff, Tang Wulin released a trace of his bloodline aura as the gods prepared an ambush, and the Eye of Annihilation's will surged toward it.

Tang Wulin resisted the Eye of Annihilation’s attempt to possess him and began recovering with Qian Renxue and their family in the God Realm. Half a year later, he reached Soul Power rank thirty, while the story left him and Qian Renxue watching the stars in Quiet Garden.

• The Eye of Annihilation invaded Tang Wulin’s consciousness, but Qian Renxue’s pleas and his memories helped him resist until the Dragon God soul ember purified the invading will.
• The gods confirmed Tang Wulin’s soul had been damaged but its foundation remained intact, and the Abyss Gate’s crack gradually closed.
• After half a month of recuperation, Tang Wulin recovered and reached Soul Power rank twenty as Qian Renxue cultivated beside him.
• Tang Wulin spent peaceful days with Qian Renxue, their children, Tang San, and Xiao Wu, and agreed to visit Douluo Continent once he had recovered.
• Half a year later, Tang Wulin broke through to rank thirty and celebrated becoming a Soul Elder with his family.
• Tang Wulin and Qian Renxue sat together in Quiet Garden beneath the stars, with the Tree of Life shining in the direction of the Abyss Gate.

Tang Wulin told Qian Renxue that the Eye of Annihilation still watched him, but its mark had given him a deeper understanding of the world’s laws despite his lost power. Half a month later, the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life examined him and found his divinity had become purer.

• Tang Wulin revealed that he sensed the Eye of Annihilation watching him and demonstrated the refined Soul Power perspective he had gained after losing his strength.
• Tang Wulin explained to Qian Renxue that the Eye of Annihilation sought to erase existence itself, and they resolved to cherish their family and the present.
• Half a month later, the God of Destruction and Goddess of Life visited Quiet Garden to assess Tang Wulin’s recovery.
• The Goddess of Life said Tang Wulin’s Soul Power and soul wounds were healing, while the God of Destruction observed that his divinity had become purer despite his lost Divine Position.

Tang Wulin explained how his memories and Dragon God Embers had resisted the Eye of Annihilation, prompting the God Kings to propose that he rebuild his cultivation around the strength of existence. Before he could decide, a crack opened in the Abyss Gate’s barrier, and an existence-eroding substance began seeping into the God Realm.

• Tang Wulin told the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Life, and Qian Renxue that his memories anchored him in a state of nothingness and that the Dragon God Embers represented existence.
• The Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction concluded that the Eye of Annihilation was the opposite of existence and suggested Tang Wulin develop a new cultivation system based on his pure divinity and understanding of laws.
• Tang Wulin hesitated over starting again, but Tang Xuanyu arrived to report a crack in the Tree of Life’s barrier at the Abyss Gate.
• The gods gathered at the Tree of Life and saw black, conceptual matter seep through the crack, making nearby things fade from existence.
• The God of Destruction contained the seepage with a purple screen, while Tang San used the Poseidon Trident to suppress it temporarily.
