Chapter Summaries

Chapter 361 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yuun’s spatial abilities allow him to bypass the Buddha and return swiftly to Main God’s Space, demonstrating that his mobility and escape techniques are more dangerous than his raw combat strength.
• During the Demon Clan’s takeover of Heaven, an imperial decree announces Yuun as the new ruler. Yuun rejects the need for formal recognition and immediately seats himself on the Jade Emperor’s throne.
• The Jade Emperor retreats to the Thirty-Third Heaven with many loyal immortals, while the Queen Mother remains in High Heavens Palace. Yuun banishes her to another dimension after mocking her appearance and authority.
• Yuun summons Chang’e and Hundred Flowers Fairy, then teleports them to the Jade Emperor’s bedchamber. The surrounding immortals protest because the two fairies are important heavenly officials and fear that their treatment will reveal Yuun as a cruel, lawless ruler.
• Yuun promises that such conduct will not happen frequently and declares that he will eventually make both women imperial consorts. This reassures the immortals enough for them to withdraw their objections.
• Yuun assigns the remaining immortals to stabilize Heaven and orders the Demon Kings to capture the fleeing Jade Emperor. He deliberately sends the Demon Kings into further battles against the former heavenly forces, intending to reduce their numbers and reclaim their bodies and treasures.
• The Demon Kings obey despite their resentment, recognizing that Yuun now controls Heaven, the Three Realms, and even access to reincarnation and punishment in Hell.
• Yuun returns to the bedchamber, where Chang’e and Hundred Flowers Fairy are attempting to escape. Chang’e begins speaking with him diplomatically, trying to redirect his attention by asking about the ongoing battle.

Character Developments

• Yuun fully embraces his role as conqueror and temporary ruler of Heaven. He is arrogant, pragmatic, and openly exploitative, treating both Heaven’s resources and its inhabitants as property to be managed or plundered.
• He reveals a calculating side beneath his apparent lustfulness: he intends to use the Demon Kings as expendable forces while preserving the appearance of orderly governance.
• Chang’e demonstrates intelligence, self-control, and political awareness. Rather than openly resist Yuun, she bows to him, restrains Hundred Flowers Fairy, and attempts to manipulate the conversation to protect herself and her companion.
• Hundred Flowers Fairy remains defiant and outspoken, but ultimately follows Chang’e’s lead when she recognizes their vulnerable position.
• The immortals shift from fear and resistance to cautious cooperation once Yuun promises to preserve their offices and maintain order.
• The Demon Kings discover that their alliance with Yuun does not make them his equals. Their delight at Heaven’s suffering disappears when Yuun assigns them dangerous missions, but fear prevents them from challenging him.
• The Jade Emperor is reduced to a fugitive ruler, forced to continue resisting from the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Significant Themes

• Power versus legitimacy: Yuun does not care about formal recognition; possessing the throne and the strength to defend it are enough for him to claim authority.
• Political pragmatism: Yuun understands that ruling Heaven requires the cooperation of its existing officials, even if he has no respect for them.
• Exploitation and expendability: Both immortals and demons are treated as resources. Yuun preserves useful officials while sending the Demon Kings into battles designed to weaken or eliminate them.
• Fear as a tool of governance: Yuun’s command over Heaven, Hell, and reincarnation ensures obedience even from those who secretly hate him.
• Appearance versus reality: Yuun presents himself as a ruler concerned with order, but privately plans to plunder Heaven and abandon the world once he has gained enough.
• Female intelligence and survival: Chang’e relies on diplomacy, restraint, and psychological tactics rather than force to navigate a situation in which she has little physical power.

Character Interactions

• Yuun dismisses the imperial decree and verbally humiliates the Queen Mother before removing her with spatial magic.
• He provocatively selects Chang’e and Hundred Flowers Fairy, prompting the heavenly officials to defend them—not only out of personal concern, but because their treatment symbolizes the fate of all former heavenly subjects.
• Chang’e restrains Hundred Flowers Fairy and apologizes on her behalf, prioritizing survival and negotiation over pride.
• Yuun appeases the officials by promising to make the two fairies imperial consorts, turning his threatened misconduct into an ostensibly legitimate political arrangement.
• He intimidates the Demon Kings into accepting orders that may lead to their deaths.
• In the bedchamber, Chang’e formally acknowledges Yuun as Emperor and immediately attempts to steer their conversation toward the military situation, hoping to delay or avoid his intentions.

Chapter 362 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yuun ignores Chang’e’s attempt to distract him with her past and places Chang’e and the other fairy on the bed, sealing their divine power and immobilizing them. He then begins an intimate encounter with them. The fox “Yu” refuses to participate because she is still refining essence energy.
• The Demon Clan continues its devastating assault on the Heavenly Court, advancing to the Twenty-Seventh Heaven. The Heavenly Court’s troops are exhausted, poorly prepared for prolonged war, and unable to replace their heavy losses.
• The Jade Emperor panics at the possibility of being driven all the way from the High Heavens Palace. He considers seeking refuge in the Palace of Doushu, but learns that the Supreme Lord has supposedly gone wandering and that the palace attendants have orders not to admit anyone, fearing demonic impersonation.
• The Grand Master reminds the Jade Emperor that the Heavenly Court still possesses enormous forces beyond its central army, including the Three Overseas Immortal Mountains, the mountain and river gods of the mortal realm, Underworld forces, and the four Imperial Lords. However, many of these forces would be difficult and time-consuming to mobilize.
• Before the Jade Emperor can fully act, the Gouchen Supreme Palace Emperor arrives with reinforcements, forcing the demons to divert several Demon Kings from the front line. The other three Imperial Lords—the North Pole Great Emperor, the Eternal Life Emperor, and Houtu, Empress of Earth—soon join the battle.
• The armies of the Four Imperial Lords, far more experienced and disciplined than the Heavenly Court’s forces, push from the Southern Heavenly Gate to the High Heavens Palace. However, dozens of Demon Kings halt their advance at the Ninth Heaven.
• Just as victory appears possible for the Heavenly Court, Yuun—the Reincarnation Emperor and true mastermind behind the invasion—personally intervenes. He summons dozens of meteors, annihilating tens of thousands of demons and soldiers from the Four Imperial Lords’ armies alike.
• The attack leaves almost no survivors, demonstrating that neither the elite forces of the Imperial Lords nor the Demon Clan can withstand Yuun’s overwhelming power.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Yuun displays absolute confidence and dominance, casually controlling both the imprisoned fairies and the battlefield. His intervention confirms that he is the decisive force behind the war.
• Chang’e attempts to redirect Yuun’s attention through her past experiences but fails. Her helplessness, along with that of the other fairy, emphasizes Yuun’s control over her.
• Yu, the fox, remains detached from both the intimate situation and the wider conflict, prioritizing the refinement of her accumulated essence energy.
• The Jade Emperor shifts from composed authority to genuine panic. His willingness to seek advice from the Grand Master reveals how severely the invasion has shaken him.
• The Grand Master acts as a pragmatic counselor, restraining the Jade Emperor and reminding him of the Heavenly Court’s broader resources.
• The Gouchen Emperor and the other Imperial Lords emerge as powerful, experienced commanders. Their forces initially reverse the demons’ momentum, but they ultimately prove powerless against Yuun’s personal attack.
• The Jade Emperor’s confidence rises when the Imperial Lords arrive, but this hope is destroyed when Yuun appears and obliterates both sides.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and helplessness: The battle shows the vast gap between ordinary divine armies, Demon Kings, Imperial Lords, and Yuun himself.
• The fragility of established authority: The Heavenly Court’s long peace has made its armies complacent and unprepared, exposing the weakness beneath its traditional prestige.
• Political and military dependence: The Jade Emperor relies on other powers—the Supreme Lord, the Imperial Lords, regional gods, and overseas immortals—to preserve his rule.
• Strategic depth versus immediate crisis: Although the Heavenly Court possesses vast hidden resources, their distance and slow mobilization make them ineffective during the immediate assault.
• Fear, distrust, and infiltration: The Palace of Doushu’s refusal to admit even the Jade Emperor reflects the threat of demonic disguises and the collapse of normal trust during wartime.
• The insignificance of conventional warfare: The armies fight desperately for control of Heaven, but Yuun’s meteor attack renders their struggle meaningless, reducing tens of thousands of combatants to ash in an instant.

Chapter 363 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Gouchen Emperor loses his temper after witnessing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and generals reduced to ash by Yuun’s meteor attack.
• Though surrounded by dozens of Demon Kings and Yuun, Gouchen avoids a direct fight and instead uses the Demon-Summoning Banner, a powerful artifact capable of compelling demons to obey.
• After expanding the banner and revealing his enormous Dharma Manifestation, Gouchen begins forcibly pulling Demon Kings into it. The weaker demons are immediately transformed into their true forms and absorbed, while the stronger ones struggle to resist.
• Yuun deliberately refuses to intervene. He views the Demon Kings as expendable pawns and hopes Gouchen will eliminate them, allowing Yuun to claim their bodies and foundations later.
• Realizing that Yuun intends to sacrifice them, the Demon Kings lose faith in their leader. When Gouchen triples the banner’s power, eight of the strongest Demon Kings flee together, followed by others.
• The remaining Demon Kings are unable to escape because the banner’s power becomes concentrated on them. Fifteen are absorbed, while only ten—including two exceptionally fast demons—manage to get away.
• The effort leaves Gouchen temporarily exhausted and unable to continue fighting. The other three Imperial Lords immediately descend and protect him.
• Yuun assesses Gouchen’s condition and recognizes that the Four Imperial Lords are far stronger than he had initially assumed. He now places them on a level comparable to the Jade Emperor, though he acknowledges that the Heavenly Court’s official hierarchy still places the Four Imperial Lords below him.
• The chapter explains the Imperial Lords’ strategy: they allowed Yuun’s meteors to destroy their own troops because diverting them would have risked their greater plan. They relied on the assumption that Yuun and the Demon Kings were not truly loyal to one another.
• Although the plan succeeded partially, more Demon Kings escaped than expected. Gouchen then activates a second-stage ability, commanding all demon qi to obey him.
• Demon qi begins pouring from the Demon-Summoning Banner into Gouchen’s body. He also absorbs the demon qi lingering beneath the battlefield from the troops killed by the meteors, preparing to restore or increase his combat strength.

Character Developments

• Gouchen Emperor: Demonstrates that his greatest strength lies not in raw personal cultivation but in his divine authority over living creatures and demons. His use of the Demon-Summoning Banner allows him to defeat or capture more than twenty Demon Kings, though the effort temporarily incapacitates him. By absorbing demon qi, he reveals an even more dangerous reserve ability.
• Yuun/Reincarnation Emperor: Shows himself to be calculating, ruthless, and completely willing to sacrifice allies. He views the Demon Kings as resources rather than comrades, considering their deaths useful for acquiring their bodies and cultivation foundations. His assessment of the Imperial Lords becomes more cautious as he recognizes their strategic skill and strength.
• The Demon Kings: Their selfish and distrustful nature becomes clear. They initially hesitate to flee because they fear punishment from Yuun, but once it becomes obvious that he will not save them, they abandon loyalty and attempt to escape. Their actions also expose internal rivalry and opportunism.
• The Other Three Imperial Lords: Display discipline and strategic restraint. They allow Gouchen to carry out the dangerous attack and immediately protect him once he becomes exhausted, showing their unity and concern for preserving their combined strength.

Significant Themes

• Betrayal and expendability: Yuun treats the Demon Kings as disposable tools, while the Demon Kings recognize that their supposed alliance is based only on mutual advantage.
• Power through authority versus personal strength: Gouchen’s divine office and control over demons compensate for his comparatively modest cultivation, demonstrating that political or divine authority can become a weapon.
• Strategic sacrifice: Both sides accept enormous losses—especially the Heavenly forces—in order to gain a larger advantage. The Imperial Lords sacrifice hundreds of thousands of troops to preserve their plan.
• The limits of loyalty: The Demon Kings’ immediate collapse into self-preservation emphasizes the absence of trust or solidarity within the Demon Clan.
• Rising conflict and hidden reserves: Yuun and the Imperial Lords continue to underestimate one another, while Gouchen’s absorption of demon qi signals that the battle is entering a more dangerous phase.

Important Character Interactions

• Gouchen directly confronts the Demon Kings through the Demon-Summoning Banner, while Yuun watches without helping.
• The Demon Kings beg Yuun for assistance, but his silence confirms that he considers them expendable.
• The fleeing Demon Kings turn against one another psychologically, each trying to avoid being the last or most conspicuous to escape.
• After Gouchen collapses from exhaustion, the other Imperial Lords unite to shield him from Yuun.
• Yuun and the Imperial Lords implicitly reassess one another, recognizing that the opposing side is far more capable and dangerous than previously believed.

Chapter 364 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yuun continues stalling the Four Imperial Lords instead of ending the confrontation. While negotiating, he secretly waits for the Seventh Princess and her demons to finish looting the Thirty-Third Heaven.
• The Seventh Princess uses Yuun’s resources—including the Great Teleportation Command Banner and a half-plane—to transport valuable palaces and treasures from the Heavenly Court. They cannot empty the entire realm, but they manage to take a substantial amount.
• The Four Imperial Lords recognize that Yuun is not genuinely negotiating. They suspect he is buying time, though they cannot determine why or imagine anyone powerful enough to intervene.
• Erlang Shen, Yang Jian, suddenly returns from another plane, severely wounded but restored to his divine position. He immediately heads toward the southern gate, driven by an urgent instinct that he must arrive before it is too late.
• Yuun detects Yang Jian’s return through spatial fluctuations and realizes that circumstances are changing. He quickly teleports to the Seventh Princess, retrieves her and the fox, and escapes to Main God’s Space.
• After returning, Yuun reveals that his earlier actions have caused a dangerous spatial breach beside the Main God. A gigantic creature and numerous enormous hands begin forcing their way through the crack.
• Yuun identifies the creature as a “Wu,” explaining that it is part of an ancient race of immensely powerful beings created as weapons against the Primordial Myriad Races. Behind this one are hundreds of even stronger Wu, many capable of approaching Saint-level power.
• The Seventh Princess and the fox are terrified as the Wu threatens to break into Main God’s Space. Yuun remains mostly calm, observing the spectacle and preparing an escape route through the Fengdu ticket if the Main God loses control.
• Before Yuun can flee, the Main God directly requests his assistance in repelling the Wu, offering him a B-rank authority token as payment.

Character Developments

• Yuun: Demonstrates strategic patience, resourcefulness, and opportunism. He manipulates the Heavenly Court confrontation to maximize the looting operation, escapes before the situation turns against him, and remains entertained rather than frightened by the Wu invasion. However, his willingness to flee if necessary shows that he is cautious despite his confidence.
• Seventh Princess/Jessica: Shows increasing trust and cooperation with Yuun. She efficiently manages the looting and willingly gives him the half-plane’s coordinates when they must leave. Her fear upon seeing the Wu highlights the enormous scale of the threat, though she draws courage from Yuun’s presence.
• Yang Jian: Returns from another world badly injured but immediately resumes his duty. His restored divine power and urgent instinct suggest that he has an important role in the unfolding crisis.
• The fox: Awakens to the Wu’s presence and reacts with overwhelming terror, implying that the creature is a natural enemy or is radiating an aura especially threatening to it.
• The Four Imperial Lords: Remain cautious and pragmatic. Although they possess superior numbers, terrain, and timing, they avoid fighting Yuun directly because of his demonstrated ability to defeat Tathagata Buddha.

Significant Themes

• Strategy and delayed action: Apparent negotiations conceal larger plans, with Yuun using time as a weapon while his allies complete their objective.
• Greed and opportunism: The looting of the Thirty-Third Heaven and Yuun’s joke about a “capitalist selling the rope that will hang him” emphasize the dangers of exploiting powerful systems for personal gain.
• Power beyond established hierarchies: The Wu’s emergence reveals beings vastly more dangerous than the Heavenly Court, Tathagata, or even the Main God’s usual opponents.
• Curiosity versus responsibility: Yuun treats the dimensional catastrophe as an experiment and spectacle, but the Main God’s request forces him to decide whether to become involved.
• Fear and composure: Jessica and the fox embody instinctive terror, while Yuun’s calm reflects his confidence, mental defenses, and ability to escape—though his preparations show that he does not underestimate the danger.

Character Interactions

• The Four Imperial Lords attempt to negotiate with Yuun, but he responds mockingly and uses the exchange to stall them.
• Yuun coordinates indirectly with the Seventh Princess, then abruptly retrieves her and the fox when escape becomes necessary.
• Yuun teases the Four Imperial Lords with a mocking thumbs-down gesture before departing.
• Jessica questions Yuun about the Wu and depends on his explanation and reassurance, while he casually comforts her and the frightened fox.
• The chapter ends with the Main God addressing Yuun directly and offering a reward in exchange for help, changing Yuun’s role from observer to potential participant in the crisis.

Chapter 365 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yuun is offered a B-rank permission by the Main God in exchange for helping repel the Wu emerging from the Endless Abyss. Although he recognizes the reward as extraordinarily valuable—even to Saint-level beings—he also understands the enormous danger involved.
• The Wu are revealed to be nearly indestructible Advanced Fourth Tier weapons of war, created by the Primordial Human Race to fight Saints. They can control space and interact with time, grow endlessly by devouring matter and energy, and are largely immune to abilities involving time, space, intangibility, and causality.
• The Wu were sealed inside the Endless Abyss, a realm even more terrifying than the multiverse’s other evil regions. It contains ancient primordial beings and possibly entities powerful enough to rival Inner Universes.
• Yuun realizes that sealing the Spatial Rift will likely be as dangerous as entering and escaping the Endless Abyss multiple times. He abandons his original escape plan involving the Fengdu key and decides to confront the threat directly.
• Before entering battle, Yuun establishes several backup plans:
  • He hides his loot and a message inside the unconscious Seventh Princess and sends her to the Death Begins scenario world, hoping she can revive him if he dies.
  • He distributes expensive Shield Talismans among numerous Main God’s Spaces, giving different Reincarnation Teams a chance to revive him.
  • He creates and sends away a fox containing a Second Primordial Spirit and other resources, creating another potential survival vessel.
• Having prepared three layers of insurance, Yuun gives up relying on external divine artifacts and returns to his old black-and-white Hyuga Clan clothing. He treats the change as a symbolic farewell to his past and prepares to fight using his former abilities.
• The Great Wu Yuan Qi successfully forces its way through the Spatial Rift, using its body to stabilize the unstable passage. It is the first among many Wu to emerge and is driven by intense hunger and the desire to devour the energy on the other side.
• Yuun appears directly in front of Yuan Qi and blocks its passage. Yuan Qi immediately attacks him with an enormous skeletal hand, freezing time, space, and causality so that Yuun cannot evade the blow and must withstand it physically.

Character Developments

• Yuun demonstrates both greed and resolve. He is deeply tempted by the B-rank permission, but his knowledge of the Wu’s true nature makes him fully aware that the mission may cost him his life.
• His cautious, strategic side becomes especially prominent. Rather than relying on a single escape route, he creates multiple resurrection plans involving the Seventh Princess, Reincarnation Teams, and the fox vessel.
• Yuun also shows emotional attachment to his past identity. By changing back into his old Hyuga clothing and recalling his former skills, he symbolically reconnects with the person he once was before his transformation and growth.
• Yuan Qi is characterized as a rare new-generation Wu shaped by hunger, danger, and isolation. Its obsessive determination to escape the Abyss reflects the harsh conditions of its existence, while its excitement at reaching the Spatial Rift reveals how desperately it longs for energy and nourishment.
• Yuan Qi is not portrayed as merely malicious; it is a weapon created and abandoned by humanity, driven by instincts that were originally considered useful traits but later became its “original sin.”

Significant Themes

• Power versus survival: Yuun’s immense wealth and abilities are insufficient guarantees against beings that naturally negate time, space, and causality. Survival depends on preparation, sacrifice, and contingency planning.
• The price of opportunity: The extraordinary value of the B-rank permission reflects the extreme danger of the mission. The chapter emphasizes that the greatest rewards demand risks even Saints might not survive.
• Abandonment and creation: The Wu were created as weapons by the Primordial Human Race, then discarded and imprisoned once they became inconvenient. Their endless hunger and destructive nature are both their design and the reason they were condemned.
• Identity and farewell: Yuun’s return to his old clothing and techniques represents a temporary return to his origins, suggesting that the coming battle may mark the end of an era in his life.
• Instinct and free will: Yuan Qi’s actions are driven by hunger and the need to devour, yet its long wait before the Rift shows patience, intent, and a form of individual will beyond simple programming.

Character Interactions

• Yuun negotiates indirectly with the Main God, accepting the mission after confirming exactly what the B-rank permission can do.
• He prepares the Seventh Princess as a potential future ally and revival mechanism, entrusting her with his wealth and instructions while she remains unconscious.
• He creates a second possible line of survival through the fox and the Second Primordial Spirit, separating part of his resources and potential existence from the battlefield.
• He attempts to gain the aid of countless Reincarnation Teams by distributing Shield Talismans, turning strangers into possible rescuers.
• The central confrontation begins when Yuun blocks Yuan Qi’s escape from the Endless Abyss. Yuan Qi identifies him as the obstacle and launches an unavoidable, reality-freezing attack, setting up the chapter’s cliffhanger.

Chapter 366 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Great Wu Yuan Qi attacks Yuun with a causal strike that freezes time, space, and causality, making evasion or defense impossible. Yuun is flattened into flesh and bone but regenerates through his Yang Release chakra.
• Yuun reveals that the body destroyed was only a temporary three-dimensional decoy; his true body had been hidden in another dimension. However, Wu’s ability remains extremely dangerous because its attacks automatically trace and strike their intended targets.
• Yuun realizes that countless other Wu may follow from the Spatial Rift. He considers redirecting them into another dimension but rejects the idea after the Main God explains that the Wu would consume the entire dimension and eventually trace their way back.
• The Main God proposes sealing the Rift after allowing only one Wu through, but reduces the reward accordingly. Yuun argues aggressively over the compensation, eventually raising it from F-rank to D-rank authority.
• Yuan Qi forces its way into the Main God’s Space. Yuun uses his full Light of the Mind and creates countless overlapping spatial barriers, slowing the other Wu and preventing them from entering.
• The Main God merges the Rift with one leading to the Endless Abyss, trapping Yuan Qi inside the Main God’s Space while sealing the remaining Wu away.
• To defeat Yuan Qi, Yuun purchases an S-rank Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Demon-Subduing Formation. He repeatedly regenerates and fights until Yuan Qi is finally worn down and killed.
• The battle consumes enormous resources: the formation costs 30,000 Reward Points, while healing costs over 70,000. Yuan Qi cripples Yuun dozens of times and nearly kills him several times.
• Other reincarnators sense the disturbance in the Main God’s Space. Those with Wu-related bloodlines react especially strongly, though none realize the true scale of the Wu threat.

Character Developments

• Yuun: Demonstrates extreme adaptability, tactical creativity, endurance, and willingness to bargain ruthlessly for a greater reward. He abandons reckless shortcuts after witnessing Wu’s causal attacks and instead relies on layered defenses, regeneration, and resource expenditure. His survival also highlights his growing confidence and status as a uniquely valuable combat asset.
• Great Wu Yuan Qi: Establishes itself as an overwhelming but ultimately manageable individual threat. Its causal attacks are nearly unavoidable, and its physical strength and regeneration make it exceptionally difficult to kill. However, isolated from the larger Wu horde and suppressed by the formation, it can eventually be defeated.
• The Main God: Shows both rigidity and pragmatism. It refuses Yuun’s attempt to dump the Wu into another dimension, negotiates compensation strictly, and ultimately supports Yuun by manipulating the Spatial Rifts and sealing the larger invasion.
• Other reincarnators: Remain unaware of the actual crisis but begin sensing that something unprecedented has happened.

Significant Themes

• Power versus preparation: Even overwhelming innate abilities can be countered by careful planning, layered defenses, and the right tools.
• The cost of survival: Yuun wins, but only by spending vast resources and repeatedly enduring near-death injuries.
• Negotiation and self-interest: Yuun treats the Main God’s mission as a contract and refuses to accept a reduced reward, emphasizing the importance of bargaining even during an existential crisis.
• Limits of individual strength: A single Wu can be defeated, but a full horde could threaten Saints and consume entire dimensions, showing the difference between surviving a battle and overcoming a species-level danger.
• Creation and unintended consequences: Both the Wu and the Main God were created by powerful Saints, suggesting that artificial weapons or systems built for specific purposes can become dangers even to their creators.

Character Interactions

• Yuun and the Main God: Their interaction is dominated by tense negotiation. Yuun demands the original reward despite the reduced scope of the mission, while the Main God insists on adjusting the payment fairly. They ultimately compromise on D-rank authority.
• Yuun and Yuan Qi: Their confrontation begins with Yuan Qi effortlessly destroying Yuun’s decoy and continues as a prolonged battle of attrition. Yuun relies on barriers, healing, and a suppression formation rather than overpowering Yuan Qi directly.
• The Main God and the Wu: The Main God manipulates the Spatial Rifts to isolate Yuan Qi, redirect the other Wu toward the Endless Abyss, and seal them away, preventing a full-scale invasion.

Summary of Chapter 367

1. Key Plot Points/Events

• The Central Plains Team awakens after surviving the Ju-On scenario, only to find a new mission on their Main God's Watches: a team battle scenario set in the Ultraman Nexus world against the West Sea Team.
• The mission explicitly offers reward points for killing enemies, indicating a likely death match.
• The team discovers 14 newcomers have been inserted, pushing the scenario to a 20-person difficulty level, which shocks and worries Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie.
• Veterans realize this is a dangerous, high-stakes battle — not a typical horror scenario.
• While Zhan Lan tries to explain the situation to the newcomers, most are skeptical; a bald, streetwise man (Qi San / Third Master Qi) assumes it's a TV prank and tries to leave.
• Suddenly, the ground shakes and a monstrous roar shatters windows. Qi San rushes back, terrified, claiming he saw a giant monster kicked by Ultraman and destroyed by a beam of light.
• A teenage newcomer mocks Qi San's story; Zheng Zha cuts off the argument and insists they find somewhere safe to hide.

2. Character Developments

• Zheng Zha: Shows growing leadership instincts — he wants to protect newcomers but is increasingly aware of the costs and dangers, especially after past betrayals. He takes charge when chaos erupts.
• Zhan Lan: Pragmatic and cooperative; willing to help newcomers for reward points, but also personally motivated. She chooses to work with Zheng Zha rather than let pride interfere.
• Zhang Jie: Bluntly pessimistic; immediately recognizes the team is in serious trouble, especially with so many newcomers in a difficult scenario.
• Qi San: Introduced as a self-important, street-smart bald man who tries to bluff his way out, then quickly shifts to obsequious cooperation when confronted with real danger.
• Newcomers: Range from skeptical to frightened to sheepish; they have not yet proven their worth and are mostly liabilities.

3. Significant Themes

• Team battle mortality: The "horror movie" framing is subverted — this is a PvP scenario where killing enemy team members is rewarded.
• Mistrust and skepticism: Newcomers instinctively doubt the reality of the situation, a recurring pattern in survival settings.
• Responsibility vs. self-preservation: Veterans must decide how much to invest in protecting untested newcomers.
• Fear and humiliation: Qi San's pride collapses when confronted by a real monster, illustrating how quickly bravado fades under genuine threat.

4. Character Interactions

• Zhan Lan ↔ Newcomers: She calmly explains the rules; the newcomers remain largely unimpressed or suspicious.
• Qi San ↔ Veterans/Newcomers: His grand speech about leaving backfires; he later apologizes and offers loyalty after being frightened by the monster.
• High school newcomer ↔ Qi San: Mocks Qi San's credibility, triggering a brief angry exchange.
• Zheng Zha ↔ Group: Acts as mediator, stops the bickering, and redirects everyone toward survival.

Chapter 368 Summary

Plot Points and Events

• Zheng Zha leads the Central Plains Team and Qi San away from the bungalow after the battle between a monster and Ultraman, fearing that government forces will arrest people without identification.
• Most of the newcomers follow the veterans, though three remain behind, believing that hiding or blending into society will be safer than joining a dangerous team battle.
• The Central Plains Team obtains forged identities and disguises itself as a corporate tour group. Zhao Yingkong handles the documents, while the team deals with several Yakuza groups that become interested in their sudden spending.
• Once settled, the veterans debate how to handle the upcoming arrival of the West Sea Team, which the Main God has designated as the Ultramen’s enemy:
  • Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong favor cooperating with the Japanese government and the Ultramen to confront the West Sea Team.
  • Zhang Jie, Zero Point, and Saito Hajime argue that the team should escape into space or otherwise avoid the conflict entirely.
• Zheng Zha cannot decide between the two plans, so he expands the discussion to include the newcomers.
• Xiao Honglü, a seemingly withdrawn young newcomer, demonstrates exceptional analytical ability. By questioning Qi San, he reconstructs much of the veterans’ situation and reminds Zheng Zha of Chu Xuan.
• The debate is interrupted when Zhang Jie bursts in with a panicked Zhan Lan.
• Zhan Lan explains that the jade talisman she found in Main God’s Space has revealed the message previously hidden from her memory. The talisman was sent by White Gale, captain of the West Sea Team, before an expected deadly battle. He promised a hundredfold reward to anyone who resurrected him.
• The revelation means Zhan Lan possesses an item connected directly to the enemy team’s captain, potentially making her a target. Zheng Zha recognizes that the Central Plains Team’s situation has become far more dangerous.

Character Developments

• Zheng Zha continues to act as the team’s leader and mediator. He recognizes the validity of both strategic positions but struggles to make a final decision.
• Zhan Lan becomes central to the crisis because of the jade talisman and its connection to White Gale. Her initial excitement over possessing a possible resurrection opportunity turns into fear that the West Sea Team may target her.
• Zhao Yingkong demonstrates practical competence by arranging forged identities and helping the group remain concealed.
• Zhang Jie shows unusual panic and appears to know more about the danger than he is willing to explain, deepening the mystery surrounding him.
• Zero Point and Saito Hajime remain cautious and survival-oriented, opposing any unnecessary confrontation with the West Sea Team.
• Xiao Honglü is revealed to be an exceptionally intelligent strategist. His calm deductions and mannerisms strongly remind Zheng Zha of Chu Xuan.
• The newcomers are divided between those willing to rely on the veterans and those who believe ordinary civilian life offers a safer path.

Significant Themes

• Survival versus confrontation: The team must choose between hiding from an overwhelming enemy and forming an alliance to fight it.
• The danger of one’s own kind: The newcomers recognize that other reincarnators may pose a greater threat than the monsters or Ultramen of the plot world.
• Trust and information: The veterans must decide how much to reveal to the newcomers, while Xiao Honglü’s ability to extract information exposes the importance—and danger—of secrecy.
• Predestination and hidden mechanisms: The jade talisman demonstrates that objects and messages placed in Main God’s Space can influence events across teams and worlds.
• Leadership and uncertainty: Zheng Zha’s effort to include everyone in the decision reflects his responsibility for the entire team, but also his difficulty acting when every option carries severe risks.
• Intelligence as power: Xiao Honglü’s deductions suggest that strategic insight may be as valuable as combat strength.

Character Interactions

• Zheng Zha initially compares Xiao Honglü’s analytical style to Chu Xuan, creating an awkward but revealing exchange between them.
• Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong argue for cooperation with the plot’s factions, while Zhang Jie, Zero Point, and Saito Hajime insist on escape.
• Zheng Zha treats the newcomers as part of the team by inviting their opinions, despite their inexperience.
• Zhan Lan urgently brings the talisman’s revelation to Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie, forcing the veterans to reconsider their plans.
• Zheng Zha assigns Xiao Honglü responsibility for calming and managing the newcomers while he summons the other veterans to address the threat posed by White Gale and the West Sea Team.

Chapter 369 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zheng Zha reports the conclusions he and Zhan Lan reached about the West Sea Team and the danger posed by the upcoming team battle.
• The team debates whether the West Sea Team is overwhelmingly powerful or whether its strength has declined, possibly because its former captain, White Gale, died.
• Zhao Yingkong argues that the Main God would not arrange an entirely unwinnable scenario and questions why the West Sea Team would be placed in an apparently easy world. Zhang Jie counters that the team’s evaluation may have fallen while its remaining members could still possess White Gale’s powerful equipment.
• The discussion becomes increasingly focused on whether to fight or retreat. Zhan Lan, Zero Point, Saito Hajime, and Zhao Yingkong ultimately leave the decision to Zheng Zha rather than allowing the argument to divide the team.
• Zheng Zha isolates himself for three days to consider the lives of his companions and the possible strategies. He finally emerges and announces that he has reached a decision, though the chapter ends before revealing it.
• A theoretical countermeasure is discussed: the team might enlist Ultraman and the Kingdom of Light against the West Sea Team, which is considered an evil faction. With billions of Ultraman and several fourth-stage beings among them, such an alliance could theoretically overwhelm even extremely powerful enemies. However, contacting them is recognized as practically unrealistic.
• In a parallel scene, Yuun returns with the Seventh Princess after spending a huge amount of Reward Points on information talismans and body repairs. He considers the expense worthwhile because it earned him a D-rank permission and provided a chance at future resurrection.
• The Seventh Princess is upset that Yuun reclaimed half-plane storage containing much of the wealth he had previously given her. Yuun also fails to retrieve the fox he sent to another plane because an unknown protector and the plane’s unusually powerful spatial barrier prevent him from entering. The fox remains in possession of nearly half of Yuun’s belongings.

Character Developments

• Zheng Zha demonstrates the burden of leadership. Rather than making an impulsive choice, he spends three days weighing the risks to himself and the five veteran teammates before deciding.
• Zhao Yingkong remains confident and action-oriented, trusting her combat instincts and rejecting the assumption that the West Sea Team is unbeatable. Despite disagreeing with Zhang Jie, she ultimately respects Zheng Zha’s authority.
• Zhan Lan acts as a mediator. She leaves the argument to prevent tension between Zhao Yingkong and Zhang Jie and openly places her trust in Zheng Zha.
• Zhang Jie continues concealing his unusual knowledge and abilities. He deliberately discourages overconfidence by reminding the team that even a weakened West Sea Team could have inherited devastating resources from its former captain.
• Xiao Honglü shows emotional maturity and analytical calm. He believes the newcomers can be stabilized through guidance and supervision rather than personal comfort.
• Yuun appears pragmatic and detached about wealth, treating Reward Points as expendable if they increase his survival options. His confidence also reveals that he is not especially worried about the fox’s safety or the possibility of his possessions being stolen.
• The Seventh Princess becomes resentful after losing access to the enormous fortune Yuun had temporarily entrusted to her, highlighting her dependence on him and her attachment to material security.

Significant Themes

• The burden and isolation of leadership: Zheng Zha must make a decision that determines the fate of the entire team and cannot simply follow the majority.
• Trust versus individual judgment: Team members hold different opinions but ultimately entrust their lives to Zheng Zha, showing both loyalty and the necessity of unified command.
• The danger of assumptions: The team debates whether the West Sea Team is invincible or weakened, but both conclusions remain speculative. Information in the Main God’s world is incomplete and easily misleading.
• Theory versus reality: The Kingdom of Light plan sounds overwhelmingly powerful in theory, yet the practical difficulty of contacting Ultraman makes it nearly useless without a realistic method of execution.
• Power, resources, and survival: Yuun’s subplot emphasizes how Reward Points, equipment, resurrection methods, and inherited possessions shape the balance of power between individuals and teams.
• Emotional restraint and detachment: Several characters suppress fear or personal feelings to focus on survival, while the Seventh Princess’s reaction shows how difficult it is to remain detached when one’s security depends on another person’s decisions.

• Zhang Jie privately signals his own trust in Zheng Zha while recognizing that the captain may ultimately act according to his own judgment.
• Yuun and the Seventh Princess interact as master and dependent: he views her safety and rewards pragmatically, while she remains focused on the loss of the wealth she briefly possessed.
• Yuun’s failed attempt to retrieve the fox introduces an unseen protector and suggests that other powerful forces may be operating beyond his reach.

Chapter 373 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Seventh Princess defeats Zhang Jie using the Futsunomitama Sword, a divine weapon that cuts a person’s “life” rather than their physical body. Zhang’s wounds bleed dark purple fluid and steadily drain his life, making ordinary healing useless.
• Though close to death, Zhang Jie refuses to beg or show fear. He reveals that he has created a powerful personal skill despite his average abilities and flawed personality.
• Zhang aims his modified gun at the Seventh Princess and proposes a “bet,” wagering his own life on whether she can survive his shot. Zheng Zha instinctively tries to stop him, sensing the attack will have terrible consequences, but he is too injured to intervene.
• Zhang activates his skill, “Fate,” at the moment he fires. The attack uses a causality-like effect: the bullet locks onto the Seventh Princess and ignores her defensive barriers. Zhang expends all his spiritual energy, telekinesis, and life in the attack, dying immediately after firing.
• The Seventh Princess’s numerous defensive artifacts warn her of the danger, but too late. Just as she is about to be killed, Yuun appears and catches the bullet between two fingers, saving her.
• The Seventh Princess pretends to be frightened and abused, acting sweet and obedient toward Yuun while portraying Zhang as the aggressor. Yuun responds affectionately and does not blame her.
• After receiving rewards for Zhang’s defeat, the Seventh Princess suggests killing the remaining Central Plains Team members, specifically pointing out Zhao Yingkong as her next target.
• Yuun turns his attention to Zheng Zha, who is enraged by Zhang’s death but hesitates to attack because doing so would endanger the entire Central Plains Team.
• The chapter ends by emphasizing the Central Plains Team’s desperate strategic situation. Their strongest potential ally, Ultraman Nexus/Noa, has already disappeared after confronting Yuun, and any distant assistance from the Kingdom of Light would arrive far too late to save them.

Character Developments

• Zhang Jie: Demonstrates extraordinary courage and defiance in the face of certain death. Although he admits his shortcomings, he proves that his self-created ability is powerful enough to threaten even the heavily protected Seventh Princess. His final act is a deliberate sacrifice intended to take her down or at least force a decisive gamble.
• Seventh Princess: Her arrogance and cruelty become more pronounced as she toys with Zhang instead of killing him immediately. However, her confidence collapses when Zhang’s final attack bypasses her defenses. After Yuun rescues her, she quickly returns to her manipulative, childish persona.
• Yuun: Reinforces his overwhelming superiority by effortlessly stopping Zhang’s supposedly unavoidable attack. He remains affectionate toward the Seventh Princess and refuses to punish her, showing both his indulgence toward her and his emotional detachment from Zhang’s death.
• Zheng Zha: Shows grief and anger over Zhang’s sacrifice but also restraint. Rather than recklessly attacking Yuun and the Seventh Princess, he considers the survival of the entire team, highlighting his growth as a leader.
• Zhao Yingkong and the Central Plains Team: Remain vulnerable and largely helpless, with Zhao singled out as the Seventh Princess’s next intended victim.

Significant Themes

• Sacrifice and defiance: Zhang chooses to die on his own terms rather than surrender, turning his unavoidable death into a final attack.
• Life as something metaphysical: The Futsunomitama Sword and Zhang’s “Fate” skill both treat life and death as forces that can be directly wounded, severed, or wagered.
• Power and helplessness: The chapter contrasts Zhang’s ingenious last stand with Yuun’s overwhelming strength, showing that even a nearly unstoppable attack can be negated by a truly superior force.
• Cruelty and emotional detachment: The Seventh Princess treats killing as entertainment and views the Central Plains members as sources of rewards. Yuun’s lack of concern over Zhang’s death further emphasizes the brutal hierarchy of the Main God’s world.
• Leadership and responsibility: Zheng Zha’s hesitation is not cowardice but responsibility; he suppresses his desire for revenge because the team’s survival depends on him.
• The limits of delayed justice: Even if outside allies eventually learn of Noa’s defeat, their intervention would come far too late, making the Central Plains Team’s immediate survival the only meaningful concern.

Important Character Interactions

• Zhang Jie and the Seventh Princess: Their confrontation centers on psychological warfare, pride, and mutual defiance. She tries to humiliate him into begging, but he rejects her completely and answers with a life-or-death gamble.
• Zhang Jie and Zheng Zha: Zheng Zha’s desperate attempt to stop Zhang reflects their bond and his fear of losing him. Zhang ignores him because the attack requires total concentration.
• Yuun and the Seventh Princess: Their relationship is affectionate but deeply unequal. She relies on childish charm and manipulation, while Yuun indulges her because he knows he holds absolute power over the situation.
• Yuun and Zheng Zha: Their silent confrontation embodies the Central Plains Team’s helpless rage. Zheng hates Yuun for allowing Zhang’s death and threatening the team, but cannot attack without sacrificing everyone else.

Chapter 374 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yuun and the Seventh Princess overpower the Central Plains Team, leaving Zheng Zha and his teammates completely helpless.
• The Seventh Princess suggests killing everyone except Zheng Zha and another promising member, whom she wants to keep and torment for entertainment. She also proposes abandoning the scenario because its rewards are insignificant.
• Yuun confirms that Zheng Zha is the captain of the Central Plains Team and casually forces him to acknowledge that his team is under the West Sea Team’s control.
• During their conversation, Yuun reveals that the West Sea Team has only a few members. One newcomer was thrown into Earth’s core for irritating him, while another was killed for being cowardly and lacking potential.
• Yuun presents the possibility of using a Team-Transfer Contract, causing Zheng Zha to assume that Yuun wants him to join the West Sea Team.
• Zheng Zha reluctantly agrees, hoping his acceptance might protect his teammates, but Yuun reveals that he means the opposite: he intends to transfer himself and the Seventh Princess into the Central Plains Team.
• Yuun claims he is tired of endlessly farming rewards and killing opponents and wants teammates with whom he can share future victories.
• Although his explanation sounds impulsive and unconvincing, Yuun has practical motives as well: joining the Central Plains Team would let him avoid the Main God’s suppression and benefit from the team’s extraordinary fortune and talented members.

Character Developments

• Zheng Zha: Demonstrates pragmatism and responsibility by honestly admitting defeat rather than provoking Yuun. He is prepared to sacrifice his position and join the West Sea Team if doing so might save his teammates, but he is deeply shocked when Yuun instead offers to join his team.
• Yuun: Reveals both his overwhelming confidence and his extreme capriciousness. He casually kills or discards teammates he considers useless, yet begins reconsidering his isolated, destructive lifestyle. Beneath his impulsive behavior, he is carefully calculating the advantages of escaping the Main God’s attention and gaining access to the Central Plains Team’s potential.
• The Seventh Princess: Remains outwardly charming and obedient, but is internally bewildered and frustrated by Yuun’s sudden change of plans. She would prefer continuing to enjoy the benefits of their powerful West Sea Team rather than abandoning it.
• The Central Plains Team: Their powerlessness becomes clear, but their latent potential—especially the possibility that several members may reach the Fourth Stage—makes them valuable to Yuun.

Significant Themes

• Power imbalance and submission: The Central Plains Team cannot resist Yuun and must rely on honesty and negotiation to survive.
• Team identity and loyalty: Zheng Zha’s instinctive unwillingness to abandon the Central Plains Team highlights his attachment to his companions and sense of responsibility.
• Caprice versus calculation: Yuun presents his decision as emotional and spontaneous, but his choice is supported by strategic benefits.
• Isolation and companionship: Yuun’s supposed boredom with killing and point accumulation suggests a desire for meaningful comradeship rather than merely greater power.
• Potential versus present strength: Although the Central Plains Team is currently weak, its members’ future potential and extraordinary fortune make it more attractive than Yuun’s current team.

Character Interactions

• The Seventh Princess and Yuun display an intimate but unequal relationship: she uses flirtation to influence him, while he treats her as both a lover and a favored possession.
• Yuun dominates Zheng Zha physically and psychologically, yet speaks with enough calmness to turn the encounter into a negotiation.
• Zheng Zha cautiously questions Yuun’s motives and tries to protect his teammates without openly challenging someone vastly stronger.
• Yuun’s announcement that he will join the Central Plains Team shocks both Zheng Zha and the Seventh Princess, completely reversing their expectations and potentially placing Yuun in control of the team.

Chapter 375 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yuun joins the Central Plains Team but loses his former captain authority after transferring teams. He tells Zheng Zha that Zhang Jie had indeed deceived the team and implies that Zheng Zha will eventually become captain and learn the full truth through captain-level authority.
• Zheng Zha remains deeply affected by Zhang Jie’s death, staring at his former room in grief and disbelief.
• To welcome the team, Yuun opens a Spatial Rift and produces an enormous stockpile of weapons and equipment, including several A-rank treasures. He allows the veterans to choose items, and even offers Zheng Zha additional equipment as an “investment.”
• The Seventh Princess immediately claims two of the four A-rank items and openly displays her closeness with Yuun. Yuun’s wealth and generosity demonstrate how vastly more powerful and resource-rich he is than the other team members.
• Yuun refuses to give anything to the newcomers, declaring that they have no rights until they prove themselves in the next movie world. His intimidating attitude leaves them resentful but too frightened to challenge him.
• The next movie world begins. The Main God announces the main mission: find the missing Azure Emperor, earning two A-rank Side Plots and 6,000 Reward Points. The team must also choose a faction and may compete in the Great Wilderness Emperor’s Daughters Immortal Ranking.
• Several opposing teams have entered the world, including the Southern Flame Continent Team, Indian Continent Team, Eastern American Continent Team, and God Team. Team-member kills grant rewards, while killing allies incurs penalties, creating a dangerous competitive environment.
• The Central Plains Team awakens amid a massive beast tide and a charging force of knights riding Dragon Horses.
• Yuun effortlessly destroys the approaching beast horde with a single spatial slash, cutting through monsters, earth, and stone. His overwhelming power terrifies the knights and astonishes the team.
• After the knights halt, tensions rise between the two groups. Rather than handle negotiations himself, Yuun pushes Zheng Zha forward and orders him to act as captain, communicate with the locals, and find the team a place to stay.

Character Developments

• Zheng Zha: Continues mourning Zhang Jie but begins moving toward the captain’s role. Yuun’s recognition forces him to accept greater responsibility, particularly diplomacy and decision-making. He is also increasingly anxious about controlling Yuun’s unpredictable behavior.
• Yuun/White Gale: Establishes himself as an extraordinarily wealthy, powerful, and dangerous veteran. He refuses leadership but acknowledges Zheng Zha as captain and expects him to manage the team. His casual attitude toward death, violence, and enormous rewards contrasts sharply with Zheng Zha’s sense of responsibility.
• Seventh Princess: Shows confidence and familiarity with Yuun, openly calling him “darling” and taking advantage of his generosity. Her ability to seize two A-rank treasures reflects her sharpness and privileged position beside him.
• Zhan Lan and the veterans: Their reactions show the lingering impact of Zhang Jie’s death and the team’s uncertainty about Yuun’s arrival.
• The newcomers: Having just gained rewards and strengthened themselves with bloodlines and equipment, they initially become excited by Yuun’s treasure hoard. His rejection humiliates and frightens them, creating resentment that may become a future source of conflict.
• The knights: Initially appear threatening, but become frightened and defensive after witnessing Yuun annihilate the beast tide.

Significant Themes

• Power and inequality: Yuun’s wealth and strength place him far above both veterans and newcomers, emphasizing the enormous differences between participants in the Main God’s trials.
• Leadership and responsibility: Although Yuun is the strongest individual, he refuses formal authority and instead forces Zheng Zha to grow into leadership.
• Grief and moving forward: Zheng Zha’s mourning for Zhang Jie contrasts with the brutal normalization of death in the Main God’s Space.
• Trust and deception: Zhang Jie’s lies continue to affect the team, while Zheng Zha must decide whether to trust Yuun despite his dangerous personality.
• Survival and merit: Yuun’s belief that newcomers must prove their worth reflects the harsh, hierarchical logic of the reincarnation teams.
• Competition and moral danger: The new world turns survival into a contest between allied and opposing teams, rewarding murder while penalizing the deaths of teammates.
• Power without restraint: Yuun’s casual destruction of the beast tide illustrates both his immense capability and the danger of leaving such a person unchecked.

Character Interactions

• Yuun reassures Zheng Zha that he need not address him formally and urges him to accept the truth about Zhang Jie.
• The Seventh Princess interacts affectionately and openly with Yuun, kissing him and claiming valuable equipment before anyone else can react.
• Yuun excludes the newcomers from his gifts and threatens them indirectly, while Zheng Zha is forced to tolerate his decision because confronting him would be dangerous.
• Yuun gives Zheng Zha the A-rank Starlight Meteor Blade and later tells him he may take more equipment, reinforcing their developing alliance.
• During the confrontation with the knights, Yuun physically moves Zheng Zha aside, destroys the beast horde himself, and then makes Zheng Zha handle communication.
• Zheng Zha worries that Yuun may act unpredictably—especially regarding Zhao Yingkong—and recognizes that neither force nor persuasion may be enough to control him.

Chapter 376 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yuun refuses to participate in negotiations, so Zheng Zha handles discussions with a group of knights and wanderers connected to the Water Clan.
• The knights are intimidated by Yuun’s earlier destruction of tens of thousands of beasts, but they remain confident because they are led by Ke Hanhuai, the former Water Clan Dragon Fang Marquis.
• Ke Hanhuai recognizes that Yuun possesses overwhelming strength and mistakenly assumes he may be one of the legendary Ten Divine Ones. He politely avoids provoking him and leads his group away because they are being pursued by Chaoyang Valley’s Water Earl, Wu.
• Yuun reveals that a mysterious masked man has been observing him. He estimates that this watcher is approximately as strong as someone who has just entered the Fourth Stage of the Genetic Lock.
• Yuun explains to Zheng Zha that he originated from a manga-based scenario world and entered Main God’s Space after encountering the East Sea and West Sea Teams. He also says his ability to detect people comes from his special eyes, though he denies being a Psychic Controller.
• A newcomer foolishly identifies Yuun as belonging to the Hyuga Clan from Naruto, creating an awkward and dangerous moment. Rather than attacking him, Yuun opens a Spatial Rift and moves the group to the battlefield.
• Yuun and the Central Plains Team arrive directly before Wu and Yu Shiqie using the “Reach the Horizon” technique, shocking both of them.
• Yuun openly challenges Wu to a fight, mainly to test the combat system and abilities of this world.
• After recognizing Yu Shiqie, Yuun provocatively expresses interest in taking her with him. Yu Shiqie redirects the situation toward Wu, implying that Yuun must first obtain Wu’s permission.

Character Developments

• Yuun: Continues to display immense power, emotional detachment, and a lack of awareness of—or concern for—social conventions. His ability to identify powerful opponents and travel through space establishes him as far beyond most people in the setting. He also begins recovering fragments of his memories about the world.
• Zheng Zha: Demonstrates stronger diplomatic and leadership abilities by negotiating with the wanderers. He remains cautious about alliances and increasingly understands how dangerous this scenario world is.
• Ke Hanhuai: His confidence is shaken by Yuun’s overwhelming strength. Despite being a former prodigy and near God-Tier expert, he recognizes that Yuun may be vastly beyond him and chooses prudence over confrontation.
• Wu: Revealed to be powerful but politically constrained. Although he has recently become a God-Tier expert and is one of the Ten Gods of the Wilds, he fears Yuun and worries about how Torch Dragon will judge his actions.
• Yu Shiqie: Despite being restrained and weakened, she remains sharp, proud, and manipulative. She uses Yuun’s apparent interest in her to provoke or embarrass Wu.
• Zhan Lan and the Central Plains Team: Their shock at Yuun’s perception and strength emphasizes how dependent they are on him for protection and intelligence in this dangerous world.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and uncertainty: Even legendary figures such as Ke Hanhuai and Wu cannot accurately assess Yuun’s origins or true limits.
• Misidentification and hidden identities: Yuun is repeatedly mistaken for a Divine One or a member of a known clan, while his actual background as an outsider from a manga scenario world remains extraordinary.
• Political pressure and factional conflict: Characters must balance personal strength with obligations to clans, superiors, and political factions, as shown by Wu’s fear of Torch Dragon.
• Manipulation and strategic diplomacy: Zheng Zha seeks useful information and possible alliances, while Yu Shiqie cleverly turns Yuun’s provocative behavior against Wu.
• Cultural and social disconnection: Yuun’s blunt comments and detached behavior clash with the customs and expectations of the world he has entered.

Character Interactions

• Zheng Zha negotiates cordially with the wanderers while Ke Hanhuai observes Yuun with suspicion and awe.
• Ke Hanhuai politely addresses Yuun as a Divine One but avoids prolonged contact because of the approaching threat.
• Yuun informs Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan that a powerful masked figure is monitoring them, revealing the limits of their own detection abilities.
• A newcomer’s careless comparison of Yuun to the Hyuga Clan creates tension, but Yuun responds by leaving rather than retaliating.
• Yuun confronts Wu directly after arriving on the battlefield.
• Yuun and Yu Shiqie exchange provocative remarks, with Yu Shiqie deliberately involving Wu and turning the encounter into a social and political challenge.

Chapter 377 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Yu Shiqie continues provoking Yuun by claiming she will belong to him if he kills the masked man, Wu. Her goal is to turn the two God-Tier experts against each other and create an opportunity to survive.
• Yuun responds with absurd but serious logic, offering to kill Wu so he can claim Yu Shiqie. When Wu refuses to humor him, Yuun attacks without warning.
• Yuun traps Wu inside six spatial partitions and slices him in half with a spatial blade. Wu survives only by using an emergency escape technique, leaving behind his severed robe and a pool of water. The technique severely drains him and prevents him from fighting effectively for some time.
• Yu Shiqie is stunned by Yuun’s overwhelming strength. She had believed he was at most comparable to an Immortal-Tier expert, but he proves capable of defeating a genuine God-Tier powerhouse almost instantly.
• With Yu Shiqie’s martial arts and true qi sealed, Yuun forcibly takes her as his “reward.” She tries to delay or dissuade him by explaining her identity and connections to powerful figures such as Torch Dragon, but Yuun is unconcerned.
• The Seventh Princess appears and becomes openly jealous of Yu Shiqie, recognizing her as a genuine threat to her position beside Yuun. Yuun continues teasing both women, further humiliating Yu Shiqie.
• Zheng Zha interrupts the situation and persuades Yuun to stop wasting time in the wilderness. He argues that the team needs to find an inhabited settlement and gather intelligence before rival Reincarnation Teams discover them.
• Yuun agrees, acknowledges Zheng Zha as captain, and orders the intelligent Elephant Dragon Beast to obey him. He then creates a private space and black curtain on the beast’s back, taking Yu Shiqie and the Seventh Princess with him.
• Zheng Zha is left to lead the team and find a town, while also worrying about whether any local inn can accommodate the enormous mount.

Character Developments

• Yuun: Demonstrates a frightening gap between himself and other God-Tier experts. He is confident, violent, shameless, and driven heavily by desire, but he is still willing to recognize sensible tactical advice. His treatment of the Elephant Dragon Beast also shows his habit of controlling powerful beings through intimidation.
• Yu Shiqie: Her confidence in her ability to manipulate events collapses after witnessing Yuun defeat Wu. She shifts from provoking conflict to attempting negotiation and self-preservation. Her past, which she once regarded as shameful, becomes a tool she hopes will protect her.
• Wu: Revealed to be far more powerful than outsiders realize, but still unable to withstand Yuun directly. His escape technique confirms that Yuun’s attack placed him in a near-certain-death situation.
• Seventh Princess: Displays jealousy and insecurity for the first time, viewing Yu Shiqie as a serious romantic rival rather than merely another woman around Yuun.
• Zheng Zha: Shows practical leadership by redirecting the group toward safety and intelligence gathering. Although uncomfortable with Yuun’s behavior, he avoids confrontation because Yuun remains the team’s most important source of protection.
• Elephant Dragon Beast: Revealed to possess intelligence and understand human speech. Despite its immense size and strength, it is terrified of both Yuun and Yu Shiqie and submits to Zheng Zha’s commands.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and hidden strength: Yuun’s easy defeat of Wu establishes that his true level is far beyond what others expected.
• Manipulation and survival: Yu Shiqie’s provocative bargain, appeals to reputation, and use of her past all reflect a desperate struggle to preserve herself.
• Power imbalance and coercion: Yuun’s treatment of Yu Shiqie emphasizes the brutal inequalities between characters and the danger of being controlled by someone vastly stronger.
• Leadership versus personal indulgence: Zheng Zha attempts to maintain the team’s strategic priorities while Yuun focuses on personal pleasure, creating tension between responsibility and selfishness.
• Jealousy and possession: The interactions among Yuun, Yu Shiqie, and the Seventh Princess frame relationships in terms of ownership, rivalry, and status.
• The fragility of the Central Plains Team: Without Yuun, the team may be vulnerable to ambushes from other powerful Reincarnation Teams, making their dependence on him increasingly clear.

Character Interactions

• Yuun and Yu Shiqie: Their exchange begins as a battle of provocation and manipulation but ends with Yuun decisively dominating the situation. Yu Shiqie tries persuasion, status, and negotiation, none of which affect him.
• Yuun and Wu: Yuun treats Wu’s refusal as a challenge and kills—or nearly kills—him in a single devastating attack. Wu’s escape confirms the seriousness of the defeat.
• Yuun and the Seventh Princess: She approaches Yuun possessively and criticizes his interest in Yu Shiqie. Her jealousy exposes how deeply attached she has become to him.
• Yuun and Zheng Zha: Zheng Zha cautiously asserts his authority as captain. Yuun resents the interruption but ultimately accepts Zheng Zha’s decision and entrusts him with leading the group.
• Yuun, Zheng Zha, and the Elephant Dragon Beast: Yuun forces the intelligent beast to recognize Zheng Zha’s authority, giving the team a powerful but intimidating mount and temporary protection.

Chapter 378 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Central Plains Team travels to a nearby, largely abandoned post station after learning its location from the Five Clan wanderers. They decide to use it mainly as an information-gathering point rather than a permanent shelter.
• The team remains cautious because it has only recently entered the Great Wilderness and cannot fully trust the wanderers’ potentially biased accounts. Their two major objectives—finding the Azure Emperor and joining a faction—cannot be accomplished immediately.
• The team suspects that the Water Clan may be responsible for the Azure Emperor’s disappearance. The Water Clan’s attack on Mirage Tower City, a Wood Clan vassal, seems too convenient to be unrelated. They theorize that the Water Clan may have imprisoned the Azure Emperor, while the Black Emperor remains secluded to guard him.
• Yuun, the Water Clan Sage-Substitute captured by the team, is temporarily unavailable because he has isolated himself behind a spatial barrier. After more than an hour, he emerges refreshed, while Yu Shiqie and the Seventh Princess remain behind. Yu Shiqie later returns in a foul mood, implying that Yuun has abused his position and taken advantage of her.
• Zheng Zha questions Yu Shiqie about the Water Clan. Although she is hostile and evasive, the team’s carefully designed questioning extracts substantial information. She genuinely appears to know nothing about the Azure Emperor’s disappearance.
• Combining Yu Shiqie’s answers with the wanderers’ reports, the team maps out the Great Wilderness’s major powers and begins discussing which faction to join.
• Xiao Honglü raises the danger of the four earlier-arriving Reincarnation Teams interfering with the Central Plains Team’s Side Plot. The group concludes that the other teams may have divided their members among multiple factions, meaning every major faction could contain hidden enemies.
• Xiao Honglü argues that the team must plan for the worst case: assume every faction contains infiltrators, identify them, and eliminate them. Zheng Zha accepts this strategy and ends the debate.

Character Developments

• Zheng Zha demonstrates caution and leadership. He avoids reckless action, personally interrogates Yu Shiqie to protect the female team members from Yuun’s attention, and ultimately imposes a worst-case strategic framework.
• Yu Shiqie is revealed to be resentful, humiliated, and hostile toward Zheng Zha and Yuun. Despite her status as a Water Clan Sage-Substitute, she lacks information about the Azure Emperor and is unable—or unwilling—to reveal sensitive details.
• Yuun remains overwhelmingly powerful, unpredictable, and domineering. His casual behavior and refusal to participate in the strategic meeting reinforce that the team cannot rely on him for planning, even though his strength is their greatest asset.
• Xiao Honglü emerges as a highly capable strategist. He recognizes the psychological pressures facing the other Reincarnation Teams and anticipates that they may scatter their members among different factions.
• Zhan Lan contributes sound strategic analysis, supporting Xiao Honglü’s theory that the other teams may have planted members across several factions.
• Saito Hajime continues to represent the team’s cautious, risk-averse perspective, questioning whether splitting forces is practical.
• A young newcomer offers a rational but overly game-like analysis of the other teams’ likely behavior. Xiao Honglü expands on it by emphasizing that the contestants are risking their lives, not merely competing for rewards.

Significant Themes

• Information and uncertainty: The team must make decisions with incomplete and potentially biased intelligence. Their ability to distinguish truth from deception becomes as important as combat strength.
• Power and political balance: The strength or absence of the Five Emperors determines the behavior of entire clans. The Azure Emperor’s disappearance has destabilized the Great Wilderness and allowed the Water Clan to become more aggressive.
• Strategic paranoia: Because Reincarnation Teams can infiltrate or divide their forces, the Central Plains Team must assume that no faction is safe or neutral.
• Leadership under pressure: Zheng Zha must balance powerful but unreliable allies, internal disagreements, and the need to make decisions before sufficient information is available.
• Psychology in life-or-death conflict: Xiao Honglü emphasizes that people behave differently when failure means death. Fear and self-preservation may cause rival teams to act defensively, hide members, or make alliances rather than pursue maximum rewards.

Character Interactions

• Zheng Zha deliberately questions Yu Shiqie himself instead of sending Zhan Lan or Zhao Yingkong, fearing that Yuun might prey on them.
• Yu Shiqie treats Zheng Zha with contempt because she views him as Yuun’s accomplice, but the team’s questioning techniques overcome her resistance.
• Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Xiao Honglü, Saito Hajime, and the newcomers debate how the four earlier Reincarnation Teams may have positioned themselves.
• Xiao Honglü and Zhan Lan build upon each other’s reasoning, while Saito and the young newcomer challenge the idea that rival teams would spread out.
• Zheng Zha ultimately supports Xiao Honglü, using his authority to settle the argument and direct the team toward a cautious, worst-case strategy.

Chapter 379 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• After Zheng Zha interrupts the discussion, Xiao Honglü proposes that the Central Plains Team join the Water Clan. The Water Clan is the strongest faction, has a Sage-Substitute who can vouch for them, and is stretched thin by conflicts with the other clans, the Dragon Clan, and overseas nations. This should make them the safest faction to approach.
• Xiao Honglü further suggests splitting the team among different factions instead of keeping all nineteen members together. This would allow the team to gain influence in multiple places and avoid placing all their members in one dangerous location.
• Saito Hajime and the newcomers object, arguing that most of them are weak and would be helpless without the protection of Zheng Zha and Yuun. Zheng Zha initially considers personally joining another faction while leaving the rest under Yuun’s protection.
• Xiao Honglü harshly challenges this dependence on Yuun. He warns that the team cannot rely on Yuun forever and questions why the Main God has placed them in another long-term team battle so soon after their previous one.
• Xiao Honglü and Zhan Lan reveal the theory of the Final Battle: once a Reincarnator reaches a certain level, the Main God may begin a special final conflict. Xiao Honglü estimates there is more than a 60% chance that the Final Battle—or another major event—will occur in the next scenario world, with a further 20% chance of it happening in the one after that.
• Yuun suddenly appears through a Spatial Rift, confirming that he already understands the situation. He says the next scenario world will probably be the Final Battle and admits that he had hoped the team would become strong enough to serve as his subordinates. He warns that anyone who drags him down will be killed.
• After Yuun leaves, the frightened newcomers no longer question Xiao Honglü’s strategy. His courage and intelligence greatly increase his authority within the team.
• The team agrees in principle that most members should choose different factions, ideally with at least two people assigned to each. Xiao Honglü recommends that Zhao Yingkong and Zhan Lan remain exceptions because Yuun appears to be particularly interested in them.
• Zhao Yingkong angrily refuses to deliberately flatter or manipulate Yuun, insisting that she is an assassin, not someone who will use herself in that way. Xiao Honglü explains that she need only remain true to her cold, defiant personality, since Yuun seems attracted to her refusal to submit.
• When Zhan Lan asks what Yuun likes about her, Xiao Honglü admits he does not know and advises her simply to behave naturally.

Character Developments

• Xiao Honglü demonstrates exceptional strategic insight and psychological courage. He forces the team to confront the possibility that the Final Battle is imminent and earns the newcomers’ respect by speaking calmly to Yuun despite the danger.
• Zheng Zha realizes that protecting the entire team through personal strength or Yuun’s protection is not sustainable. Yuun’s murderous pressure nearly breaks him and convinces him to accept Xiao Honglü’s plan.
• Yuun reveals a more authoritative and threatening side by appearing in imperial robes and openly acknowledging the coming Final Battle. Although he does not kill anyone, his warning makes clear that the team’s survival depends on becoming useful to him.
• The newcomers initially prioritize safety and resist being separated from the veterans, but Yuun’s appearance and Xiao Honglü’s composure change their attitude. They begin to regard Xiao Honglü as an authority nearly equal to Zheng Zha.
• Zhan Lan shows her willingness to reveal sensitive information to Zheng Zha and recognizes the seriousness of the Final Battle theory.
• Zhao Yingkong maintains her pride and independence, refusing to become a tool for team survival, even when Xiao Honglü suggests using Yuun’s interest in her to protect everyone.

Significant Themes

• Dependence versus self-reliance: The team must stop depending entirely on powerful protectors such as Zheng Zha and Yuun. Their survival requires individual strength and strategic independence.
• The looming Final Battle: The chapter shifts the team’s focus from the immediate faction conflict to the possibility that the entire Main God system is preparing for an ultimate confrontation.
• Power and fear: Yuun’s presence demonstrates how completely overwhelming power can control others without direct violence. His restraint is almost as frightening as an attack.
• Leadership and authority: Xiao Honglü’s intelligence allows him to gain influence, while Zheng Zha’s leadership is tested by his inability to protect everyone alone.
• Personal dignity versus collective survival: Zhao Yingkong’s refusal to manipulate Yuun highlights the conflict between preserving one’s principles and making morally compromising choices to save the team.

Important Character Interactions

• Xiao Honglü and Zheng Zha: Xiao Honglü openly challenges Zheng Zha’s instinct to protect everyone and urges him to recognize the larger danger. Zheng Zha initially tries to silence him but ultimately accepts his reasoning.
• Xiao Honglü and the newcomers: The newcomers resist his proposal at first, but his blunt warnings and fearless exchange with Yuun earn their respect.
• Xiao Honglü and Yuun: Their conversation is calm but tense. Xiao Honglü addresses Yuun respectfully as “Your Majesty,” while Yuun confirms his predictions and threatens anyone who becomes a burden.
• Zhao Yingkong and Xiao Honglü: Xiao Honglü proposes using Zhao Yingkong’s special position in Yuun’s eyes to protect the team. She rejects the idea angrily, preserving her independence.
• Zhan Lan and the team: Zhan Lan helps explain Chu Xuan’s Final Battle theory and later becomes concerned when Xiao Honglü cannot explain why Yuun is interested in her.

Chapter 380 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Honglü proposes that the Central Plains Team agree to a desperate, all-or-nothing strengthening plan. With Zheng Zha’s tacit approval, the team accepts it; most members choose to fight rather than passively await death.
• Zhao Yingkong informs Yuun of the decision, but he ignores the matter and focuses instead on her. Following Xiao Honglü’s advice, Zhao remains cold and unresponsive, allowing her to escape without being detained.
• The Central Plains Team’s immediate goal is not to overthrow Yuun, but to become valuable and powerful enough that he will hesitate before harming or taking Zhao Yingkong or Zhan Lan.
• Meanwhile, the Five Clans’ rangers and Ke Hanhuai’s group reach Mirage Tower City. They receive a spectacular welcome from more than one hundred thousand citizens, who have gathered to see the God Emperor’s envoy and the famed wielder of the Broken Wave Blade.
• Hidden surveillance teams inside Mirage Tower City confirm Tuoba Ye’s arrival and report the news to their allied Reincarnation Teams.
• Four Reincarnation Teams have secretly formed an alliance against the Central Plains Team. Their cooperation was orchestrated by Adam, captain of the God Team, who recognized the Central Plains Team’s overwhelming potential.
• Adam used satellite footage of Yuun annihilating ten thousand beasts and defeating the Water Earl to convince the other teams that fighting the Central Plains Team separately would mean certain destruction.
• The allied teams carefully analyze recordings of Yuun’s abilities, estimating that his attacks possess at least S-rank destructive power, double-A-rank control, and powerful spatial abilities. However, they cannot identify any exploitable weakness.
• A quarrel breaks out between the hot-blooded young Daoist Luo Yinglong and the arrogant old Daoist Zhou Yixian. They unexpectedly unite in hostility toward the black-haired woman, whom they view as an overseas enemy, then begin admiring one another.
• Adam suddenly realizes that Yuun looks familiar. Luo Yinglong recalls that their team fought a clone of a Central Plains Team member, and the black-haired woman then declares that she knows Yuun.

Character Developments

• Xiao Honglü continues to demonstrate his strategic insight. He correctly predicts both Yuun’s lack of interest in the team’s vote and the danger posed by Zhao Yingkong’s aloofness if Yuun’s obsession intensifies.
• Zheng Zha quietly supports Xiao Honglü’s dangerous proposal, showing his willingness to let the team risk everything for a chance at survival.
• Zhao Yingkong follows Xiao Honglü’s instructions precisely. Her normally terse, distant behavior helps her avoid Yuun’s immediate advances, though it may provoke him in the future.
• Yuun becomes increasingly detached from the Central Plains Team. After witnessing the Main God’s limited time allowance, he no longer views Zheng Zha’s group as especially important, though he retains some interest in Zheng Zha’s supposed protagonist destiny.
• Adam emerges as a highly capable leader and strategist. He quickly recognizes the threat posed by the Central Plains Team, suppresses internal dissent, gathers intelligence, and builds a large alliance through a combination of persuasion, information, and intimidation.
• Tuoba Ye is emotionally uplifted by Mirage Tower City’s enthusiastic reception, temporarily forgetting the hardships of the journey.
• Luo Yinglong and Zhou Yixian shift from mutual contempt to exaggerated mutual admiration after discovering their shared hostility toward outsiders.
• The black-haired woman becomes significant at the end of the chapter when she recognizes Yuun, suggesting a past connection or hidden knowledge.

Significant Themes

• Survival through desperate action: The Central Plains Team accepts extreme risks because refusing to fight is equivalent to certain death.
• Power and usefulness: The team realizes that beauty, loyalty, or good intentions will not protect them from Yuun; only becoming strong and valuable can force him to treat them seriously.
• Strategic intelligence versus brute force: Adam’s alliance shows the importance of preparation, surveillance, and cooperation when facing an overwhelmingly powerful enemy.
• Fear as a tool of diplomacy: Yuun’s slaughter of ten thousand beasts becomes the decisive evidence that forces rival teams to abandon suspicion and unite.
• Prejudice and factionalism: Even while supposedly cooperating against a common enemy, the Reincarnation Teams remain divided by national and cultural hostility.
• Identity and hidden connections: The chapter ends by raising questions about Yuun’s past and his relationship to the other Reincarnators.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Honglü advises Zheng Zha’s group on both the suicide-strengthening plan and how Zhao Yingkong should handle Yuun.
• Zheng Zha implicitly backs Xiao Honglü, while Zhao Yingkong carries out the plan and reports to Yuun.
• Yuun dismisses the team’s decision and instead attempts to engage Zhao Yingkong, who avoids giving him encouragement.
• The people of Mirage Tower City welcome Tuoba Ye, Ke Hanhuai, and the rangers as heroes.
• Adam coordinates with the captains and strategists of three other Reincarnation Teams, uniting them against the Central Plains Team.
• Luo Yinglong and Zhou Yixian argue, then abruptly become comrades after sharing anti-outsider sentiments.
• Adam, Luo Yinglong, and the black-haired woman examine Yuun’s image and begin to suspect that he is connected to events or people they encountered previously.
