Yin Ming completed the basic framework for the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness by reclaiming control of the undead and combining the Abyss and Hell Realm. He offered the Mother of All Snakes and Wuxiang Watson a share of its authority, and Wuxiang Watson rushed to join him after learning what it could do.

• Yin Ming and Yuan began refining the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness after hundreds of successful simulations.
• Yin Ming converted the Abyss Heaven Realm to dark energy and used humanity's karmic fire to draw the undead into the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness.
• Yin Ming reclaimed control of the undead, causing the White Bone Islands to consume their skeletons and merge the Abyss and Hell Realm into an energy source.
• After a month and a half, Yuan reported that the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness's framework was complete and that Yin Ming had received fifty percent of its authority.
• Yin Ming left information about the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness in the Nightmare World for the Mother of All Snakes and Wuxiang Watson.
• Wuxiang Watson perceived the information, recognized a way to counter the Heavenly Dao's momentum, and teleported toward Yin Ming's coordinates.

Wuxiang Watson constructed the Heavenly Demon Realm as an illusory framework, and the group created the first heavenly demon from an undead. The First Heavenly Demon consumed the undead’s mental energy and multiplied, spawning hundreds of demons and their own realms.

• Wuxiang Watson used the illusory mirror law to copy the Undying Divine Kingdom as the Heavenly Demon Realm’s foundation.
• The Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness supported Wuxiang Watson as he filled the ancient mirror with Seal Formulas and completed the realm’s framework.
• Yuan, the Mother of All Snakes, and Wuxiang Watson combined their powers to refine an undead into the first heavenly demon.
• The new heavenly demon invaded an undead’s mind, consumed its mental energy, and grew into the First Heavenly Demon.
• The First Heavenly Demon produced tens of millions of avatars and hundreds of new heavenly demons, each with a separate Heavenly Demon Realm.

Summary: "All Beings of the Desire Realm"

Key Plot Points

• Heavenly Demons reproduce explosively, devouring all undead in the White Bone Hell Disc within half a day, reaching trillions in number.
• The four creators use the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness to transform a desolate illusion realm into the Desire Realm — an elaborate system of illusion worlds where hosts become the "absolute protagonist" of personal fantasies (transmigration, rebirth, system tales).
• The Desire Realm functions like a leech: it anesthetizes hosts with seductive illusions while the Heavenly Demons secretly drain them to death.
• Wuxiang Watson reflects that the Heavenly Demons' strategy is "turning the whole into one" — eliminating all weaknesses by existing purely on the spiritual level, making them unbeatable except on their own terms.
• The Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness, using undead as fertilizer, spreads across all White Bone Islands and gradually envelops the entire Dark Plane over three hundred years.
• During this time, both the Black Tower and the Abyss avoid conflict, developing peacefully and warily.
• The Heavenly Demon Realm completes planar unification of the Dark Plane ahead of the Black Tower, whose Omnipotent Eye has not yet unified the Elemental Plane.

Character Developments

• Yin Ming: Credited as the foundational genius behind the Heavenly Demon design; his insight (turning disadvantages into zero-existence) is acknowledged even by wary peers.
• Wuxiang Watson: Serves as executor of the plan; shows grudging admiration for the design but harbors unspoken wariness of Yin Ming.
• Yuan (Abyss side): Achieves a strategic first-mover advantage by unifying the Dark Plane first.
• The Omnipotent Eye: Remains incomplete, its progress slower than the Heavenly Demon Realm's.

Significant Themes

• Desire as universal vulnerability: All sentient beings possess desires, making them susceptible to the Heavenly Demon Realm — a natural "tier flaw."
• Strategic weakness-elimination: The "turn flaws into zero" philosophy — strength is relative, and one can win by only engaging on favorable terms.
• Illusion vs. reality: The Desire Realm presents alluring beauty; truthful sight reveals it as a hell of twisted flesh — a duality reminiscent of Heaven/Abyss, light/dark.
• Pathological balance: Heaven is born from the supremely evil Abyss; good and evil stem from the same origin.

Character Interactions

• The four creators (Yuan, Yin Ming, Mother of All Snakes, Wuxiang Watson) work in coordination, awakening from seclusion together upon the Dark Plane's unification.
• Wuxiang Watson studies Yin Ming with respect and caution, recognizing his extreme genius.
• The Black Tower and Abyss maintain an unspoken truce — neither willing to risk open conflict while both are mid-development.

Three centuries after the Heavenly Demon Realm refined the Dark Plane, the Omnipotent Eye transformed Black Tower civilization and made wizardry accessible to ordinary people. As Gene Newman prepared to rise from a Third Ring wizard to a Fourth Ring, the Heavenly Demons regained the ability to perceive desire anchors and saw the ambitions of wizards across the world.

• The Omnipotent Eye reshaped the Elemental Plane, and Black Tower civilization spread wizardry and public education throughout its kingdoms.
• In Black Water City, the Omnipotent Eye revealed the wizard aptitude of young people and gave them suitable Meditation Methods.
• Gene Newman, a runaway serf with superior aptitude, became a Zero-Ring Wizard Apprentice and set out for the Wizard Black Tower.
• A century later, Gene Newman had reached the peak of the Third Ring and secluded himself to prepare for a Fourth Ring breakthrough.
• After the Heavenly Demon Realm completed its integration of the Dark Plane, Yin Ming and the other three lifted the restriction on Heavenly Demons perceiving desire anchors.
• Trillions of Heavenly Demons sensed countless desire anchors and focused on the blazing ambitions of wizards near breakthroughs.

While Gene Newman attempted to break through to the Fourth Ring, the First Heavenly Demon trapped him in a succession of illusions. After he shattered 194 Heavenly Demon Realms, Papiyas welcomed him to Great Freedom Heaven and challenged his certainty that his own reality was real.

• Gene Newman began condensing a Fourth Ring Mental Rune, but black mist interrupted his breakthrough and pulled him into an illusion.
• The Heavenly Demon used Gene Newman's memories to create a noble's life, but Gene Newman recognized it as a dream and shattered the illusion.
• Gene Newman broke through further illusions of his past as a serf and of becoming a Fourth Ring wizard, seeing through them with his resolve.
• After Gene Newman shattered the 194th Heavenly Demon Illusion Realm, he entered a black space and met Papiyas, an avatar of the First Heavenly Demon.
• Papiyas questioned whether Gene Newman's reality was genuine and promised that no Heavenly Demon would trouble him if he escaped Great Freedom Heaven.

Papiyas trapped Gene Newman in Great Freedom Heaven, where his desires became an illusion that consumed his consciousness and left Papiyas with his identity. Meanwhile, the Omnipotent Eye discovered a Heavenly Demon invasion it could not easily stop.

• Papiyas transformed Great Freedom Heaven into a world shaped by Gene Newman’s desires and drew Gene’s consciousness into it.
• Heavenly Demons devoured Gene Newman’s Sea of Consciousness, extinguished his elemental body, and left Papiyas’s avatar bearing Gene’s memories and abilities.
• The Omnipotent Eye’s sudden disturbance halted hundreds of millions of wizards’ breakthroughs across the Void Black Tower.
• The Source of Flame Spirits and another Void Wizard found Gene’s remains and discovered that his soul had left no remnants.
• Xu examined wizards’ Seas of Consciousness, found Heavenly Demons attacking them, and realized their vast numbers made them nearly impossible to defend against.

Xu gathered the Void Wizards to explain the Heavenly Demons’ threat and make them the Black Tower’s top priority. In the Dark Plane, Yin Ming’s account of Tathagata and Great Freedom Heaven revealed why Papiyas’s promise of instant fulfillment could outcompete the Black Tower’s vision of earned progress.

• Xu sealed the Heavenly Demons he captured inside a crystal and brought them before the Void Wizards.
• Xu explained that Heavenly Demons preyed on desire, were nearly impossible to eradicate, and would become the Black Tower’s foremost agenda item.
• The Storm Lord, the Source of Flame Spirits, the Goddess of Luck, and a gray-robed Void Wizard debated how Heavenly Demons threatened tier breakthroughs and why Great Freedom Heaven was difficult to resist.
• The Void Wizards examined the sealed Heavenly Demons and realized their danger extended to countless living beings.
• Yin Ming’s account described Tathagata as a future made clear through cause and effect, while Great Freedom Heaven granted desires immediately and could draw people away from reality.

Yuan and the other rulers tested the Heavenly Demon Realm, confirmed the Omnipotent Eye would not challenge it, and divided authority over the Primordial Heavenly Demons through four Heavenly Demon Orbs. Meanwhile, the Void Wizards began revising their cultivation system to restrain heavenly demons, leaving the conflict in a delicate balance.

• Yuan reported that the Omnipotent Eye had withdrawn its tendril after calculating that the Dark Plane had no obvious vulnerabilities.
• Wuxiang Watson warned that the Black Tower might resist future heavenly demon attacks and proposed that they develop their demons in different ways.
• The Mother of All Snakes, Yin Ming, Yuan, and Wuxiang Watson divided the Primordial Heavenly Demons and received Heavenly Demon Orbs granting control over their respective shares.
• The Mother of All Snakes and Wuxiang Watson departed to pursue their plans, while Yin Ming teleported to a White Bone Island and reflected on maintaining the balance with Yuan.
• The Void Wizards used the Omnipotent Eye’s calculations to adjust wizard cultivation, considering ways to suppress desires or use outside intervention against heavenly demons.

Yin Ming converted a portion of the Heavenly Demons into resources, then used his authority over the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness to strengthen his thinking and fate-chart abilities. He entered seclusion to seek a path toward the ninth-ring tier while the fragile balance between the Elemental Plane and Dark Plane remained in place.

• Yin Ming converted one tenth of the Heavenly Demons into Soul Crystals and stopped, preserving the rest as seeds for future harvests.
• Yin Ming chose to improve his own strength before modifying the Primordial Heavenly Demon, wary that a flaw in his tier could let Xu or Yuan kill him.
• Yin Ming used his authority over the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness and Soul Crystals to integrate that consciousness into his Fate Principles-Gua Image.
• Yin Ming drew vast information from his Heavenly Demon Fate Chart, studying the past and future and searching for a sound route to the ninth-ring tier.

Summary: "Selecting a Law"

Key Plot Points

1. Deduction via Heaven-Demon Realm Consciousness: Yin Ming uses the massive computational power of the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness, combined with his Fate Principles and the Eight-Trigram Fate Plate, to deduce the future and search for a breakthrough path. The cost is enormous—a minute of operation consumes enough resources to nurture a Seventh-Ring subordinate god.
2. Auspicious result: Yin Ming completes his deduction in a quarter of an hour (just barely enough). He finds the direction for breaking through to the Seventh-Ring Tier.
3. Choice of law: Among six laws he possesses (Undying, Purity-Character, Sacrifice, Solidification, Parasitism, and the Scavenger Gourd's law), Yin Ming chooses the Scavenger Gourd's law—which he nicknames "Scavenging" but is actually Reshaping/Reforging.
4. Breakthrough: Yin Ming refines the law and gourd together, preserving the Model World inside. He breaks through to the Seventh-Ring Tier without increasing his raw strength, instead eliminating a hidden weakness in his foundation.

Character Developments

• Yin Ming: Demonstrates his growing mastery over the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness, showing he can operate it "effortlessly" and even in ways that impress Yuan. His ambition extends beyond the Seventh Ring—he wants a path to the Ninth Ring that evades the surveillance of Yuan and Xu.
• Yuan: Observes Yin Ming's deduction with curiosity rather than obstruction. He notes that Yin Ming's usage of the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness is novel and informative even to Him.
• Mother of All Snakes & Wuxiang Watson: Briefly noted as simultaneously halted their own projects upon sensing the computational power mobilization.

Significant Themes

• Fate vs. Fortune: "Fate is the shackles of the weak, while fortune is the staircase of the strong." The stronger an existence is, the more they can transcend predetermination.
• The horror of truth-sorcery: The ocean of information generated is beyond any living being's capacity to endure; only the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness's authority shields Yin Ming.
• Computational power as transcendent resource: The chapter underscores that information-processing capability is a form of supreme power—beyond raw strength, it enables the deduction of the future itself.
• Ambition to escape watchfulness: Even at Seventh Ring, Yin Ming's goal is a Ninth-Ring path that evades the gaze of the primordial powers.

Character Interactions

• Yuan senses the mobilization of computational power and identifies Yin Ming as the source. He decides not to interfere and instead quietly studies Yin Ming's technique—a power dynamic reversal where the creator learns from the user.
• Mother of All Snakes and Wuxiang Watson are aware of the event but do not interfere.
• No direct dialogue occurs; the chapter is largely introspective (Yin Ming's internal experience) and observational (Yuan's surveillance).

The Black Tower updated its Meditation Method to counter the latest Heavenly Demon mutations, while wizards adapted through meditation or blessings from the God of Light. In the Dark Plane, Yin Ming used his Nightmare avatar to plant an influence in a mortal’s dream, hoping to shape the Omnipotent Eye through the people who would eventually become part of it.

• The Black Tower announced Meditation Method version 118, prompting wizards to revise their practice and lower-tier wizards to seek the God of Light’s blessing.
• Yin Ming used the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness to create a Nightmare avatar and enter an ordinary human’s dream.
• Yin Ming wove the dream into a coherent scene, formed an image of a young boy, and wished him sweet dreams instead of devouring his mental power.
• Yin Ming planned to let Nightmares subtly influence vast numbers of mortals so their eventual inclusion in the Omnipotent Eye would give him a way to affect its development.

Leo Bogado rose from an isolated apprentice to a seventh-ring Void Wizard while the Omnipotent Eye spread across the Elemental Plane. After its radiation unified the plane, Xu gathered the Void Wizards to discuss dealing with the heavenly demons.

• Yin Ming sowed dreams among mortals across the Black Tower Continent, and Leo Bogado awoke with a fading memory of one.
• Leo Bogado became a Zero-Ring Wizard Apprentice, endured isolation, and looked down on wizards he believed relied on the Omnipotent Eye instead of pursuing truth.
• Over the following centuries, Leo Bogado advanced to the sixth ring, led a school of thought, and became a seventh-ring Subordinate God and Void Wizard.
• The Omnipotent Eye linked the stars and spread its radiation throughout the Elemental Plane, completing the plane's unification.
• Xu entered the Omnipotent Eye Core and summoned hundreds of thousands of Dao Lords and Subordinate Gods, including Leo Bogado, to address the heavenly demons.

Xu gathered the Void Wizards to use the Omnipotent Eye to develop plans against Yuan, the heavenly demons, and the Dark Plane. Rien Caesar proposed reincarnating heavenly demons into living beings to weaken the Dark Plane, but an abrupt voice condemned the plan as garbage.

• Xu granted the Void Wizards fifteen minutes of unrestricted access to the Omnipotent Eye to develop and verify their plans.
• More than ninety-six thousand deduction models were compared, and the Seventh-Ring Tier Dao Lords' models, including Evil God Batit's, were eliminated.
• After two days of verification, nine viable models remained, led by Rien Caesar's model.
• Rien Caesar proposed a reincarnation plan that would turn heavenly demons into real living beings and erode the Dark Plane.
• Xu verified Rien Caesar's plan and judged it sound, but someone in the crowd suddenly called it garbage.

Summary: The Method of Shared Benefit

Key Plot Points & Events

• Yin Ming completes the Elemental Plane's integration after 400 years of planting "Nightmare Clones" (dream seeds in consciousness).
• To leave no trace before the Black Tower's Omnipotent Eye, he destroys trillions of Nightmare Clones, grinds them into spiritual power crystals, refines them via the Scavenger Gourd, and erases all existential information.
• Rationale: The Black Tower integrated the Elemental Plane; its Omnipotent Eye can't see dreams, but it can see the effects dreams produce. Seeds planted in the past no longer have any connection to Yin Ming, so they're burned as a precaution.
• Yuan convenes the first gathering of the four Heavenly Demon leaders in 400 years. The meeting yields little—only intelligence exchange, no countermeasures, because the Black Tower hasn't acted yet.

Character Developments

• Yin Ming: Deliberately remains at Seventh Ring despite having drawn the most computational power. He refrains from advancing early to avoid restricting his future path to the Ninth Ring. Extreme caution: he destroys his own meticulously built dream network rather than risk exposure.
• Mother of All Snakes & Wuxiang Watson: Both reached the Eighth Ring limit and stand half a step from Ninth Ring—but that step remains an uncrossable chasm. They note Yin Ming's apparent lack of progress; he explains it's intentional.
• Yuan: Holds 40% authority over the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness (referenced indirectly). He is concerned the Dark Plane lost its first-mover advantage after the Elemental Plane's integration.

Significant Themes

• The Method of Shared Benefit (title concept): Persecution can't eliminate the strong; only giving the enemy something that benefits them too lets you use their resources. "To eliminate the strong, only shared benefit will do… only by defeating the strong with the weak can one break through to the Ninth Ring."
• Traceability vs. Invisibility: Dreams and consciousness are invisible to the Omnipotent Eye, but their effects are visible. Yin Ming's plan succeeded precisely because the Black Tower is a "scholar's ideal nation"—it filters harmful information but accepts beneficial information (e.g., the Reincarnation Plan, the Immortal Path Plan).
• Cautious cultivation: Not advancing is sometimes stronger than advancing. Yin Ming prioritizes future flexibility over current power.

Character Interactions

• The four leaders (Yuan, Mother of All Snakes, Wuxiang Watson, Yin Ming) gather in the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness spiritual domain. The atmosphere is "awkward silence, yet none found it awkward."
• Yuan pushes for maintaining growth advantage over the Black Tower; Wuxiang Watson's steady primary personality stays quiet; Mother of All Snakes scrutinizes Yin Ming's lack of visible progress; Yin Ming deflects honestly about his Ninth Ring preparations.
• The discussion is largely unproductive for Yin Ming ("unnutritious nonsense"), contrasting with his private, carefully orchestrated long-game against the Black Tower.

Leo Bogado challenged the Reincarnation Model as trash before the gathered wizards and argued that its balance left the Black Tower’s victory uncertain. When a young Subordinate God invited him to present a better approach, Leo named his proposal the Immortal Path Method.

• Leo Bogado called the Reincarnation Model trash, drawing the gathered wizards’ attention to him and his Dao Lord, Batit.
• Batit tried to distance himself from Leo’s insult, but Leo clarified that he meant the assembled crowd as well and stood by his judgment.
• Leo rebuffed challenges from Seventh-Ring wizards, arguing that age did not confer wisdom and that no theoretical model could claim to be the best.
• The Subordinate God behind the Reincarnation Model asked Leo to explain its shortcomings and whether he could break the balance between planes.
• Leo argued that the Black Tower should not settle for an uncertain balance and announced his proposal: the Immortal Path Method.

Leo Bogado proposed sharing laws to create more Ninth-Ring Tier powerhouses without undermining the Black Tower’s stability. He outlined a system overseen by the Omnipotent Eye that would restrict access to each law, but the chapter ended before Xu or the assembly judged his proposal.

• Leo Bogado asked Xu for temporary access to all of the Omnipotent Eye’s computational power, and Xu granted it if his foundational theory proved irrefutable.
• Leo Bogado argued that producing additional Ninth-Ring Tier powerhouses could break the balance between the Dark Plane and the Elemental Plane.
• Void Wizards and an assimilated evil god objected that more Ninth-Ring Tier individuals would waste the Black Tower’s accumulated foundations and obstruct the Omnipotent Eye’s transformation.
• Leo Bogado proposed turning strands of laws into seeds that let many people share their insights through separate Illusory Worlds.
• Leo Bogado said the Omnipotent Eye and law-bound divine artifacts would control who could wield each shared law, creating restricted False Ninth-Ring Tier powerhouses.

Leo Bogado used the Omnipotent Eye’s computing power and thousands of Void Wizards to complete Black Tower’s Immortal Path model, enabling laws to be shared and drawing Black Tower closer to Taiyi. As the new system began replacing laws across the plane, Yuan and the others learned of Black Tower’s plan and considered how the Dark Plane could respond.

• Leo Bogado won Xu’s approval to mobilize the Omnipotent Eye’s computing power and began designing a method to separate laws from Dao Lords.
• Leo Bogado enlisted seventh- and eighth-ring-tier wizards to help, and after three days completed the Immortal Path model.
• Dao Lords began separating their laws, opening the Law Space to seekers of the Dao and beginning Black Tower’s transformation.
• Yuan sensed violent changes in the laws, and Yin Ming, the Mother of All Snakes, and Wuxiang Watson gathered to discuss them.
• Yuan discovered Black Tower’s plan and asked how to counter it; Yin Ming proposed that the Dark Plane follow the same path using the Heavenly Demon Realm Consciousness.

The Black Tower abolished the Dao Lords’ monopoly on laws, letting wizards advance through shared Law Spaces and quickly triggering a wave of breakthroughs. The Abyss copied the reform three years later, while Yin Ming realized the restrictions on laws had finally vanished.

• Yuan, the Mother of All Snakes, and Wuxiang Watson agreed to follow the Black Tower’s approach and began constructing a model to share laws.
• The Black Tower announced that it would have no more Dao Lords and gave wizards access to cultivation methods for advancing beyond the Sixth-Ring Tier.
• Three years later, Dilan used an Enlightenment Diagram and the Black Tower Illusory-to-Real Secret Art to become a Seventh-Ring Tier wizard.
• The Omnipotent Eye planted a reincarnation art in invading heavenly demons, and Papiyas used them to channel energy from the Dark Plane into the Elemental Plane.
• The Abyss completed its own Law Sharing model, giving Yuan authority over the laws of the Demon Gods under his command.
• On White Bone Island, Yin Ming sensed that the Dao Lords’ restrictions on laws had disappeared and smiled at the success of his long preparations.

Yin Ming used Dao Enlightenment to copy every law and devised a path to Taiyi through the Internal Elixir. He fused the Scavenger Gourd with his Law World, creating a miniature world whose Finality law let it secretly draw matter and energy from the Wizard World.

• Yin Ming spent ten years copying the laws of the world, then reviewed his Fate Studies deductions and concluded that conventional paths to victory were blocked.
• Yin Ming resolved to make the Internal Elixir contain the entire world, but recognized that expanding its space meant overcoming the Black Tower and the Abyss.
• Yin Ming fused the Scavenger Gourd with his illusory Law World, and Ember's dark red flames awakened it as an independent miniature world.
• Yin Ming's miniature world formed a Taiyi law model called Finality, while his realm rose without increasing his actual strength.
• Yin Ming turned the miniature world into a world embryo that secretly drew nourishment from the Wizard World, hiding its losses amid the Abyss's and Black Tower's ongoing plunder.

Over ten thousand years, the Black Tower flourished and False Ninth-Ring Tier powerhouses emerged in growing numbers, while Yin Ming remained in seclusion to nurture his minor world. Yuan’s simulations finally confirmed that the Black Tower had become too powerful for the Abyss to resist, leaving him to face a choice with no clear way out.

• The Black Tower Continent developed rapidly as countless wizard schools shared knowledge through the Omnipotent Eye.
• Feidier validated his Ninth-Ring law model and became the first False Ninth-Ring Tier powerhouse, followed by Wuxiang Watson, the Wood Spirit's Origin, the Source of Flame Spirits, and the Mother of All Snakes.
• Over the following millennia, five Void Wizards, two Abyssal Demon Gods, and many others validated their Dao, bringing False Ninth-Ring Tier powerhouses to triple digits by the ten-thousandth year.
• Yin Ming recorded each new validation through the River of History and waited, judging that the Black Tower's advantage over the Dark Plane would continue to grow.
• Yuan spent the resources accumulated over ten thousand years running simulations, but concluded that the Black Tower could destroy the Abyss and that fleeing to the Dark Plane had only delayed defeat.
