After Yang Fan’s oracle convinced his believers that death could lead to ghost cultivation, their morale and faith surged. He learned that the target of his next Divine Kingdom war was a Third-Order Wraith Race god and sent Yang Si’s army to invade, hoping to study wraith combat and gain valuable soul-related talents.

• Yang Fan’s oracle inspired believers across the Divine Kingdom to face death without fear, and the soldiers at Calamity Suppression Pass vowed to fight the Extraterrestrial Demons.
• Yang Fan reflected on how Divine Kingdom administrators could give believers hope and unite their efforts.
• Yang Da told Yang Fan that their opponent was a Third-Order God of the Wraith Race whose believers and talents focused on souls and spirit bodies.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Si to begin the invasion and said he wanted to observe the Wraith Race’s fighting methods.
• Yang Si led nearly ten billion Vanguard Army soldiers through a spatial rift toward the enemy Divine Kingdom.

Lingyuan left a meeting to deal with an invader in his Divine Kingdom, then reunited with his squad and prepared for their upcoming invasion of a Titan Giant Ape Race Divine Kingdom. He planned to hunt the invading Human Race god using the reverse-hunt strategy that had taken him from first order to third order.

• Lingyuan told the Legion Commander that an invader had distracted him and was ordered to deal with the threat before his squad's assignment began in three months.
• Lingyuan's five squadmates teased him about leaving the meeting and revealed that he lured foreign gods into invading his Divine Kingdom so he could seize theirs in return.
• Lingyuan warned his squadmates never to speak openly about using their subordinate gods as bait, then assigned them preparations for invading the Titan Giant Ape Race's Divine Kingdom.
• Lingyuan and his five squadmates swore to advance and retreat together and never betray one another.
• After the others left, Lingyuan reflected on how reverse hunting had helped him rise from a first-order god to a third-order god in two thousand years, and anticipated facing the invading Human Race god.

Yang Fan’s forces used concealed reconnaissance equipment to map the Wraith Race’s invisible Divine Kingdom and prepared to advance against its defenders. As Yang Si’s army marched toward its target, Lingyuan realized it was heading directly into his prepared ambush.

• Yang Fan observed the Wraith Race’s black-mist Divine Kingdom and ordered Lingxu Zi to send concealed scouts ahead with monitoring equipment.
• Yang Da explained that the Wraith Race were spirit-body beings, while the fifteenth-generation monitoring equipment could detect them through soul fluctuations, energy, spatial changes, and magnetic fields.
• The scouts’ equipment mapped the terrain and estimated enemy numbers, giving Yang Fan’s forces a clearer picture of the battlefield despite the Wraith Race’s invisibility.
• Yang Si mobilized the Martial Court, Heavenly Court, and mechanical army and led them toward the designated coordinates.
• Lingyuan watched from the Wraith Race’s core region and saw that Yang Fan’s army was marching straight toward his prepared ambush.

Lingyuan prepared to ambush Yang Si’s Vanguard Army with the Wraith Race’s Soul Resonance, but Yang Si halted his forces after detecting unusual energy and ordered Spirit-Breath Glasses to investigate. The glasses revealed a vast enemy formation ahead, and Yang Si warned his believers to remain cautious.

• Lingyuan ordered his believers to unleash Soul Resonance together once Yang Si’s army entered the ambush site.
• A Void Spirit Race scout warned Yang Si that enemy forces were concentrated near the Divine Kingdom’s outskirts and that energy readings suggested an ambush.
• Yang Si requisitioned Spirit-Breath Glasses, halted the army, and ordered his troops to remain alert and stay in formation.
• Lingyuan suspected the army might have detected his trap but decided its halt was probably a coincidence.
• After the glasses arrived, Yang Si saw Wraith Race believers arranged in a huge formation across the black-mist-covered ground and sky.
• Yang Si rebuked an eager Martial King believer and warned his army not to underestimate the enemy.

Yang Si discovered a vast Wraith Race force protected by an array he could not decipher and requested more Spirit-Breath Glasses. Yang Fan committed the Divine Kingdom’s resources to supporting the war, and Yang Si’s forces prepared for battle as the fighting began.

• Yang Si confirmed that the Wraith Race had ten million Core Formation Realm fighters and over ten billion Foundation Establishment Realm believers guarding the Divine Kingdom’s outskirts, and he ordered his troops to use Spirit-Breath Glasses.
• Yang Si asked Yang Yi for at least two hundred billion pairs of glasses, but Yang Yi said the Divine Kingdom had only four million in stock and lacked authority to approve the expense.
• Yang Fan ordered all current production capacity and resources devoted to supporting Yang Si, then explained to Yang Da that the Divine Kingdom could afford the costs.
• Yang Fan appointed Yang Shi deputy marshal while leaving him in command of the Zombie Kingdom, and Yang Da agreed.
• Yang Si directed his troops to form defenses, charge their weapons, and activate protective measures before urging them to fight for their master and the Divine Kingdom.
• The ten-billion-strong Vanguard Army and the Wraith Race began fighting.

Yang Si’s Vanguard Army ambushed the Wraith Race with a coordinated formation, precise lasers, and energy cannons, shattering their defenses and blocking their escape. In the Wraith Race’s Divine Kingdom Core, Lingyuan realized concealment no longer gave his forces an advantage and decided they would have to fight head-on.

• The Human Race Vanguard Army activated the Four Symbols Heavenly Evolution Formation, while precise laser strikes eliminated Wraith Race believers maintaining their defenses.
• The formation’s strongest attack engulfed a vast area in flames, breaking the Wraith Race’s battle formation and killing many believers.
• Yang Si ordered energy cannons to bombard the Wraith Race’s retreat routes and prevent them from escaping.
• A Martial King protected nearby Martial Master believers from Wraith Race spirit bodies attempting to possess them.
• Lingyuan watched the Wraith Race army falter, recognized that its concealment and spirit-body advantages had been countered, and resolved to fight head-on.

Yang Fan’s army nearly wiped out the Wraith Race believers after discovering and disrupting their ambush, while Yang Fan rewarded Lingxu Zi and ordered reinforcements and supplies prepared for the continuing war. The Divine Kingdom mobilized for a prolonged campaign as Yang Yi ordered the alchemists to work in three shifts.

• Lingyuan issued a divine oracle calling the Wraith Race to fight back, but Yang Fan’s army continued destroying their exposed believers.
• Yang Da explained that the Wraith Race had planned to use concealment and a grand array, but the army’s saturation attacks had left nearly ten billion wraith believers dead at the cost of fewer than ten thousand Martial Master believers.
• Yang Fan credited Lingxu Zi with helping uncover the ambush and awarded him one million Divinity Points, promising further support if he found Divine Kingdom Coordinates.
• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to send troops to support Yang Si and prevent the front-line believers from being wiped out or his Divine Kingdom Coordinates from being exposed.
• Yang Fan’s forces began recruiting reinforcements, while Yang Yi ordered the alchemists to produce basic recovery pills in three shifts and maintain safe stockpiles.

Yang Fan mobilized his Divine Kingdom’s resources for the war and researched the Wraith Race’s abilities in Primordial City’s library. He realized the enemy had likely prepared a soul-based formation and was reminded to be cautious of unfamiliar races before Yang Da summoned him back to the Divine Kingdom.

• Yang Fan’s artificial lifeforms organized pill production, Spirit-Breath Glasses manufacturing, procurement, battlefield support, and intelligence research.
• Yang Fan returned to the Real World, then entered the Virtual World to study the Wraith Race in Primordial City’s library.
• Yang Fan learned that Wraith Race believers could split their spiritual essence to control many corpses or spirit bodies at once.
• Yang Fan concluded that the spirit bodies on the enemy Divine Kingdom’s outskirts had likely been preparing a soul-related Grand Array to ambush his Vanguard Army.
• Yang Fan left the library and removed his Virtual Helmet, then Yang Da called him back to the Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan countered Lingyuan’s corpse-based human-wave assault by sending two million mechanical war weapons into the Wraith Race’s Divine Kingdom. He kept most of his arsenal in reserve as the battle continued.

• Yang Fan watched over a hundred billion Wraith-controlled corpses overwhelm the battlefield, and Yang Da warned that fighting them with followers would consume too many pills.
• Yang Fan ordered fourth-tier artificial lifeforms to pilot Intelligent Gundams and Annihilator Fighters to the front line.
• Lingyuan watched the human army’s growing resource consumption and expected his tide of corpses to wear Yang Fan’s forces down.
• Spatial rifts opened in the Wraith Race’s outer regions, and a million Intelligent Gundams and a million Annihilator Fighters descended onto the battlefield.
• Yang Fan decided to reveal his strength gradually and keep most of his war weapons in reserve.

Yang Fan’s Mechanical Legion devastated the Wraith Race’s corpse army, but the Wraith Race switched to soul attacks through damaged corpses. Yang Fan left the battlefield in the hands of his commanders and searched the Gu Family’s store for a Soul-Calming Bell to counter them.

• A million war Gundams and Annihilator Fighters slaughtered the charging corpses, prompting Lingyuan to have the Wraith Race possess damaged bodies and keep advancing.
• Yang Si ordered the vanguard to form a qi-and-blood barrier, but the approaching corpses attacked their minds and injured the front-line believers.
• Yang Si ordered the believers to take Qi-Blood Pills and Soul-Calming Pills, while Yang Er collected the crippled corpses and Yang Yi supplied more pills.
• Yang Fan discussed the Wraith Race’s possession and soul strength with Yang Da, then returned to the Real World to shop in the Virtual World.
• Yang Fan searched the Gu Family’s store for a Soul-Calming Bell, a War Structure designed to counter soul-based attacks.

Yang Fan bought 500 million Soul-Calming Bells for 160 trillion Divinity Points, and Gu Xuanting approved the purchase despite thinking it excessive. The bells arrived in Yang Fan’s Divine Kingdom, where his followers were still fighting the Wraith Race’s corpses and had suffered over a million deaths.

• Yang Fan ordered 500 million Soul-Calming Bells and confirmed the 160-trillion-Divinity-Point purchase.
• Gu Xuanting investigated Yang Fan’s activities, learned he was likely fighting a foe skilled in mental and soul-based methods, and approved the purchase.
• Yang Fan paid the Gu Family and received the Soul-Calming Bells through a special spatial channel.
• Yang Fan returned to his Divine Kingdom and found his followers still battling the Wraith Race’s corpses, with more than a million casualties.

Yang Fan ordered the Soul-Calming Bells sent to the frontline as Lingyuan assessed the Human Race’s defenses and adjusted his strategy. Lingyuan chose to target the Human Race martial artists while planning to postpone a full confrontation until after his Legion mission.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da and Yang Yi to deliver Soul-Calming Bells to the frontline for Martial King believers to wield.
• A Nascent Soul Realm Wraith Race believer reported that the Human Race’s Defensive Grand Formation damaged the spirit bodies of Wraith Race attackers trying to cross its blood-and-qi barrier.
• Lingyuan rejected the suggestion to deploy Yin Soldiers, reasoning that the war had only reached his Divine Kingdom’s outskirts and that the Human Race was suffering greater losses.
• Lingyuan hoped the three Human Race gods would withdraw as their losses mounted, allowing him to seize their Divine Kingdom Coordinates and attack later with his five brothers.
• Lingyuan ordered his forces to reward injured believers with wraith grass and target Human Race martial artists while ignoring artificial lifeforms and Cultivation Believers.
• Lingyuan reflected that his upcoming Legion mission in three months made a swift victory impractical and worried about the cost of the rewards.

Lingyuan considered the tradeoffs of his Divine Kingdom’s incentive-based system and decided to prioritize power after advancing to a Mid-Order God. At the front lines, Yang Si deployed the Soul-Calming Bells, which proved devastating to the Wraith Race’s Spirit Bodies.

• Lingyuan reflected on how rewards and freedom strengthened his believers but made them more willing to question his authority.
• Lingyuan decided to shape his believers’ thinking after reaching the Mid-Order God rank, even if the Divine Kingdom developed more slowly.
• Yang Si ordered all believers at the Martial King Realm or above to collect Soul-Calming Bells and use them against approaching Wraith Race believers.
• The Soul-Calming Bells rang across the front lines, spreading golden light that made the Wraith Race Spirit Bodies scream and dissolve.
• The Wraith Race’s abandoned corpses fell to the ground as Yang Si recognized the bells as their bane.

Yang Si ordered the vanguard to advance as Soul-Calming Bells and mechanical weapons devastated the Wraith Race’s forces. Lingyuan realized his Divine Kingdom was under a prepared assault, held his defenders back, and summoned his squad, revealing that three human gods were invading.

• Yang Si ordered the martial artists to charge while the Intelligent Gundams and Annihilator Fighters blasted the alien corpses and the Soul-Calming Bells destroyed Wraith Race spirit bodies.
• Wraith Race believers discovered that the bells had severely weakened many of them and called for help from their tribal elders and god.
• Lingyuan recognized that the invasion of his Divine Kingdom was likely a planned act of revenge and ordered his believers to hold position rather than engage the attackers head-on.
• Lingyuan returned his consciousness to the Real World and urgently summoned the other members of his squad.
• Lingyuan told his squad that three human gods were invading his Divine Kingdom.

After seeing the Human Race’s assault, Lingyuan and his five allies chose to reinforce his Divine Kingdom while keeping their plan to capture the Titan Ape in reserve. As Yang Fan’s forces advanced with little resistance, they uncovered a vast underground graveyard, overwhelming their corpse-collecting and processing capacity.

• Lingyuan shared the battle data with his five companions, who learned that hundreds of millions of Soul-Calming Bells were suppressing the Wraith Race’s spirit bodies.
• Lingyuan ordered the five gods to send troops and drive the three invading Human Race gods from his Divine Kingdom, then planned to seize the Titan Ape’s Divine Kingdom if they succeeded.
• Lingyuan and his companions returned to their Divine Kingdoms to mobilize reinforcements, including flying demonic beasts and Giant Race corpses.
• Yang Fan’s army advanced hundreds of kilometers as the Soul-Calming Bells prevented effective resistance.
• Yang Er directed billions of Otherworld Collectors to excavate the buried corpses, while Yang Si described the Wraith Race’s Divine Kingdom as an enormous graveyard.
• Yang Er reported that even ten billion Otherworld Collectors would face a huge task, and all three Life Essence Conversion Pools were already at maximum capacity.

Yang Si and Yang Er's advance into the Wraith Race Divine Kingdom was interrupted when five Third-Order Wraith Race gods sent vast hordes of corpse creatures through Spatial Rifts. Yang Fan ordered the army to hold the line and promised immediate support.

• Yang Si warned Yang Er that their enemy was exceptionally dangerous and ordered a cautious advance while they secured supply lines and transported corpses.
• Void Spirit Race scouts reported violent spatial fluctuations, and Yang Si spotted the arrival of enemy reinforcements.
• Five Spatial Rifts opened across the sky, unleashing enormous swarms of corpse creatures that halted Yang Fan's army's advance.
• Yang Si identified five Third-Order Wraith Race gods and issued orders for the army's formations and weapons to repel the attack.
• Yang Si told Yang Fan that the front needed support as enemy reinforcements overwhelmed their combat strength, and Yang Fan ordered the army to hold the defensive line.

Yang Fan mobilized his Divine Kingdom’s forces and resources as five Third-Order Wraith Race gods turned the invasion into a desperate battle. His army struggled to hold the front against endless waves of possessed beasts, and the fighting continued without a clear resolution.

• Yang Fan ordered Yang Da to send five million Intelligent Gundams and five million Annihilator Fighters to the front and to prioritize production of War Weapons.
• Yang Fan sent Yang Shi’s Suicide Squad to the front with disposable war supplies and told Yang Yi to buy ten billion Otherworld Collectors for Yang Er.
• Yang Fan ordered a large-scale draft across the Divine Kingdom and its twenty Secret Realms, and warned that he might deploy the S-Class War Buildings.
• The five Third-Order Wraith Race gods turned strange beasts and colossal corpses into vessels of war, forcing Yang Fan’s believers to fight desperately to hold the front.
• An Intelligent Gundam clashed with a giant corpse wielding a spiked club as Annihilator Fighters fought off swarms of flying demonic beasts overhead.
• The Wraith Race’s ground and airborne beasts kept charging at Yang Fan’s forces, and the killing showed no sign of ending.

Yang Fan's forces fought off the Wraith Race's relentless beast tide while Lingyuan's gods discussed their plans to defeat the Human Race gods and target the Titan Ape. The battle escalated when millions of Intelligent Gundams, Annihilator Fighters, and tens of billions of high-level followers poured through spatial rifts onto the battlefield.

• Yang Fan's followers used shields, formations, and wartime supplies to hold back waves of demonic beasts.
• Lingyuan and five Wraith Race gods planned to breach the defenses, then focus on the Mid-Order God of the Titan Giant Ape Race.
• Lingyuan sensed that the Human Race gods had made a major move as spatial rifts opened across the Divine Kingdom's outskirts.
• Five million Intelligent Gundams emerged from the rifts and charged toward the battlefield.
• Annihilator Fighters joined the fight and destroyed more than half of the flying demonic beasts with laser cannon blasts.
• Tens of billions of high-level followers, including hundreds of millions of Nascent Soul Realm followers, arrived and alarmed the Wraith Race gods.

Yang Fan’s forces revealed enormous reserves and used Zombie Generals carrying Micro-Nuclear Bombs to devastate Lingyuan’s beast horde. Lingyuan recognized the Human Race gods’ massive expenditure but insisted it had to be a bluff and ordered the Wraith Race to keep reinforcing the battlefield.

• More Wraith Race reinforcements poured through the Spatial Rift as Yang Fan’s forces continued arriving.
• Lingyuan told the other five Third-Order Gods that the Human Race had a fourth god following the Zombie Path.
• Zombie Generals carrying Micro-Nuclear Bombs were thrown into the beast horde, and their explosions annihilated beasts and the Wraith Race Spirit Bodies inhabiting them.
• Lingyuan identified the bombs and learned that each cost a hundred thousand Faith Points, while more than a thousand had already exploded.
• Lingyuan declared that the Human Race gods’ spending had to be a bluff and ordered the Wraith Race to keep sending reinforcements.

Lingyuan ordered his squad to mobilize Yin Soldiers and borrow heavily to protect their Divine Kingdoms from an escalating war. On the battlefield, Yang Shi defended his methods as the demon beast reinforcements kept coming, and the growing corpse piles overwhelmed efforts to clear them.

• Lingyuan ordered every tribe’s high-tier believers to possess Yin Soldiers and told his squad to borrow all available funds as a safety measure.
• Yang Shi praised using zombie generals in the Suicide Squad, while Yang Si warned him against manipulating people and Yang Shi insisted the marshal’s seat belonged to the capable.
• War weapons slaughtered wave after wave of demon beast reinforcements, but the Wraith Race continued sending more through the spatial rift.
• Yang Si ordered workers to carry Soul-Calming Bells and remove corpses before the Wraith Race could possess them again.
• Yang Er coordinated twenty billion Otherworld Collectors, but the corpses accumulated faster than they could be hauled away and began obstructing the army’s routes.

Yang Shi urged Yang Si and Yang Fan to burn the foreign-race corpses blocking their advance instead of letting the Wraith Race god dictate the pace of the war. Yang Fan considered the enemy’s costly tactic and asked how far their army had advanced, leaving the purpose of the corpse blockade unresolved.

• Yang Shi concluded that the Wraith Race god was using endless corpses to delay the invasion and ordered them burned so the army could keep advancing.
• Yang Si warned that burning the remains would raise temperatures and cause severe air pollution, but Yang Shi proposed buying gas masks and insisted they not follow the enemy’s rhythm.
• Yang Fan reviewed the corpse-storage site, where three S-Rank Life Essence Conversion Pools and relocated Nine Profound Ice Pagodas struggled to handle and preserve the enormous supply of corpses.
• Yang Da agreed that the poorly coordinated corpses served mainly to slow the War Weapons, and Yang Fan found the Wraith Race god’s disregard for their cost suspicious.
• Yang Fan asked whether their frontline army was still positioned on the outskirts of the enemy’s Divine Kingdom.

Yang Fan ordered his forces to let the Wraith Race reinforcements stall their advance while they collected the corpses, suspecting the six Third-Order Gods were protecting valuable resources. Five days in the Real World later, the corpse stockpile had transformed the Eternal Corpse Mine, but Yang Fan decided the localized changes were tolerable as long as the corpses kept coming.

• Yang Fan told Yang Da to let the Wraith Race delay his army while he watched for their next move and planned to target their reinforcements.
• Yang Si ordered the frontline followers to collect every corpse the Wraith Race sent, while the army held its position instead of advancing or pursuing.
• Five days passed in the Real World and five hundred years in Yang Fan's Divine Kingdom, where the Life Essence Conversion Pools accelerated zombie growth and four additional corpse pits were filled.
• Yang Da explained that the Wraith Race cultivated by absorbing resentment lingering in corpses, which served them like Spirit Stones.
• Yang Fan learned that the corpses had made the Eternal Corpse Mine's surroundings barren and deathly, but accepted the changes as temporary and continued collecting them.

Lingxu Zi reported that the Wraith Race’s main force was approaching, and Yang Fan’s army prepared for battle despite Lingyuan’s failed attempt to conceal the advance. The Yin Soldiers arrived before the human forces, leaving Yang Fan surprised as the true clash began.

• Lingxu Zi told Yang Fan that an enemy force of at least fifty billion was heading toward the front line.
• Yang Si ordered the troops to combat readiness as the Void Spirit Race’s intelligence showed a vast army approaching.
• Lingyuan searched his Divine Kingdom for enemy scouts, found nothing, and decided to fight Yang Fan’s forces head-on.
• The battlefield fell quiet after the Demon Beasts stopped emerging from the Spatial Rift, and the sound of marching troops drew nearer.
• An enormous army of armored, horse-bodied Yin Soldiers emerged from the black mist, and Yang Fan recognized them as the Wraith Race’s regular troops.

Yang Fan rejected Lingyuan’s offer to withdraw from the Wraith Race Divine Kingdom, leaving both sides committed to a decisive battle. The six Wraith Race gods prepared to fight and revealed they had secured more than six hundred trillion Divinity Points in funds and resources.

• Yang Fan recognized the Yin Soldiers as powerful incarnations of resentment and watched as all six Wraith Race Third-Order Gods appeared above their army.
• Lingyuan asked the Human Race gods to speak, but Yang Fan stayed hidden and had Yang Shi reply through an Intelligent Gundam.
• Yang Shi rejected Lingyuan’s demand that the Human Race withdraw, and Lingyuan ended the exchange by declaring that they would fight.
• The six Wraith Race gods regrouped at their Divine Kingdom Core and admitted their plan to buy time had failed.
• The Wraith Race gods listed the funds, loans, and War Buildings they had gathered, totaling more than six hundred trillion Divinity Points in accessible liquid funds.

Lingyuan and his five companions renewed their oath to stand together as the war against the Yin Soldiers began. Yang Fan's forces discovered that the enemy's resentment-powered formations could counter their weapons and regenerate, leaving the strongest opponent he had faced still advancing.

• Lingyuan and the other five Wraith Race gods swore upon their souls not to betray one another.
• The Yin Soldiers advanced in disciplined ranks toward Yang Fan's army as the real war erupted.
• Yang Si ordered the City-Annihilation Cannons to fire, but black shields absorbed their blasts without stopping the Yin Soldiers.
• Yang Si sent one thousand Intelligent Gundams to attack, and the Yin Soldiers formed a black giant that seized a Gundam's weapon and destroyed it.
• All one thousand Intelligent Gundams self-destructed, but the black giant re-formed unharmed as Yang Fan watched and recognized the Yin Soldiers as his strongest opponent yet.
