Sean swore a secrecy pact with Uriel and learned that Fister Lord God’s birthplace had once been called the Anlanda Material Plane. After returning to the Netherworld, Sean asked Andre to identify the plane, and Andre reacted strangely to its name.

• Sean and Uriel swore oaths that Uriel would answer truthfully and Sean would not kill him or reveal his presence.

Sean learned that the Anlanda Material Plane had unusually been transferred from Netherworld administration to the Bright God Plane by order of the Death Sovereign, and suspected the Bright Master wanted its hidden Sovereign Spark. He decided to investigate before risking a visit, but resolved to gamble on the chance to obtain the Spark even if it meant offending the Bright Master.

• Andre told Sean that the Anlanda Material Plane had been transferred to the Bright God Plane by a Sovereign's order, which he had heard came from the Death Sovereign.

• Andre explained that Teleportation Arrays could not identify travelers' origins, and Sean paid him ten billion Nether Stones for the information.
• Sean concluded that he could not safely visit the Anlanda Plane until he had investigated further, since the Bright Master might discover and watch him.
• Sean resolved to take the risk of pursuing the middle Sovereign Spark, hoping to obtain it without the Bright Master noticing.

Sean searched newcomers to the God Planes for someone from the Anlanda Material Plane and found Feizer after six thousand years. He recruited Feizer as his student, promising to help him become a Highgod in exchange for a future favor.

• Sean realized he could search newcomers’ memories for people from the Anlanda Material Plane without alerting the Bright Master.

• Sean learned that Feizer had talent in the Death Rule and Water Law and had fled Anlanda after offending a God-level expert.

• Sean gave Feizer Law Comprehension Fragments and told him to choose External Godhood when he became a god.
• Decades later, Feizer became a Lowgod in both Death and Water, and Sean arranged for Haimas and other Water Element experts to teach him.

After Feizer reported what he learned to Sean, Sean decided to investigate the plane himself but hesitated over how to enter without attracting dangerous attention.

• Feizer arrived at the Anlanda Material Plane and recognized Cassius, who warned him not to go to Wuyou Island.
• Cassius and Feizer exchanged blows, and Cassius confirmed that Feizer was strong but warned that Wuyou Island held even stronger experts.

Sean traveled to the Purple Thorn Mountain Range to visit Leis Jing, whom he had promised to see, and spent several years exploring with him. The visit left Sean learning how Lord God families controlled access to Sovereign's Might.

• Sean considered how to conceal himself during teleportation and decided to investigate the aura-hiding talent of Mekodo's kind.
• Sean teleported through several planes to Zijing Continent, then crossed it and flew past the Purple Thorn Mist Sea checkpoints.
• Bauhinia Lord God appeared and asked Sean why he had come; Sean said he had promised to visit Leis Jing, who soon arrived.
• Leis Jing showed Sean around the Purple Thorn Mountain Range for several years, including a pond filled with Destruction Lord God Power.
• Leis Jing explained that Lord God families restricted Sovereign's Might to preserve its scarcity and influence over powerful Highgods.

Sean accepted Leis Jing’s offer of future help in exchange for a favor, then tested Mekodo’s remarkable concealment talent. After finding Mekodo with a deliberate search, Sean asked whether he could learn the ability, hoping it would help him reach the Anlanda Material Plane unnoticed.

• Leis Jing gave Sean a jar containing about a hundred thousand drops of Sovereign's Might and asked him to help teach the Augusta Family a lesson during the next Plane War.

• Sean traded Mekodo a favor for a technique that used Mekodo’s Blood Essence to let someone hide inside a small stone, and Mekodo gave him a drop of Blood Essence.

Sean discovered that the Sovereign Magic Array on Wuyou Island might let the Soul Pearl absorb its Sovereign power, but he needed to enter and leave without alerting the Bright Master. He had Breler study the array, learned to simulate and break it, and asked him to devise a way to preserve it undisturbed.

• Sean found the Sovereign Magic Array on Wuyou Island and sensed that the Soul Pearl might be able to absorb its power, while thousands of Lord God Soldiers and thirty-six Twelve-Winged Divine Angels guarded the area.
• Sean told Feizer to keep their relationship secret, then went to study the array and summoned Breler to examine a simulated version.
• After several centuries, Breler figured out how to break the array, and Sean began learning its principles so he could replicate and test it.
• Ten thousand years later, Sean successfully simulated and broke the Anlanda Material Plane's Sovereign Magic Array with Breler's guidance.
• Breler explained that concealing the energy fluctuations required another array, and Sean asked whether the original could restore itself after he entered and left.
• Sean offered Breler one hundred drops of Light and Dark Sovereign Power to solve the far more difficult problem.

Sean verified that he could implant Soul Seeds into angels connected to the Angel Rebirth Pool, then waited for Breler to finish studying the Magic Array. After Breler found a way for Sean to enter and leave it without immediate collapse, Sean prepared to act in the Bright God Plane.

• Sean traveled to the Dark God Plane, visited the Dark Lord God, and searched Night Abyss Mansion for Dark Angels.
• Sean used Soul Poison to confirm that he could implant Soul Seeds into angels linked to the Rebirth Pool, then returned to the Qingyuan Material Plane.

• Sean rewarded Breler with Sovereign's Might and told Carl that they could make their move in the Bright God Plane.

Sean had Cassius’s divine clone killed to gain the angel’s trust, then posed as an envoy to drug the Lord God Soldiers guarding the Magic Array. He entered its core and found the Death Lord Godhead, leaving the soldiers unconscious.

• Six experts attacked Cassius’s Life Divine Clone on Cuyue Island and killed him, prompting Cassius to vow revenge.
• Sean approached Cassius after the other God-level beings left and Soul Seeded him, ordering him to use the name Shi Hao for Sean’s cover identity.
• Cassius and an angel brought Sean to Wuyou Island, where he introduced himself as a newly dispatched envoy and offered the soldiers food and wine.
• Sean used the drugged food and hidden soul fluctuations to make the soldiers fall asleep, then concealed the energy disturbances around the Lord God Magic Array.
• Sean entered the Magic Array’s core and opened a box containing the Death Lord Godhead.

Sean obtained the Sovereign Spark in the Anlanda Material Plane and learned from its former owner’s message that Augusta might pursue him if he refined it. After returning to the Qingyuan Material Plane, Sean prepared to refine it, and the Laws of the World descended.

• Sean stored the Sovereign Spark and discovered a message from the dead Lord God inside a Soul Defense Lord God Artifact.
• The message warned Sean about Augusta, explained the limits on where Lord Gods could travel, and revealed that the former owner had been a Nether Scorpion seeking revenge.

• Sean invited the plane’s God-level and Saint Domain experts to a feast, waited until they fell asleep, and took the Sovereign Spark into the depths of the South Sea.
• Sean dripped his blood onto the Sovereign Spark, and the Laws of the World descended.

Sean became a Death Lord God and tested his new power, then considered how to hide his identity and protect himself from Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts. He confirmed that his mysterious short spear was a Supreme God Relic.

• The Sovereign Spark entered Sean, granting him Lord God status and Willpower while the Soul Pearl slowly absorbed Lord God Might.
• Sean tested his Lord God abilities, sensed across countless Material Planes, and received immense Faith Power.
• Sean decided to conceal his identity because Augusta and other Lord Gods might believe the Death Sovereign Spark belonged to Augusta.
• Sean weighed his chances against Augusta and the Four Divine Beasts, concluding that he needed greater strength or a powerful backer.
• Sean struck the mysterious Short Spear with Lord God power and confirmed that it was a Supreme God Relic.

After becoming a Sovereign, Sean considered how to find the Supreme God Appraisal while keeping his mission secret. He sent Breler to the Dark God Plane under protection, then traveled to the Netherworld to investigate.

• Sean realized Augusta had completed the fifth Supreme God Mission and that his Destruction Attribute Supreme God Relic was meant for the sixth, but he worried about finding the Supreme God Appraisal without exposing himself.
• Sean returned to his palace, kept his new Sovereign status secret from his guests, and continued feeding Willpower to the Soul Pearl to reveal memories of past Sovereigns and Supreme God Relic battles.
• Breler told Sean he planned to return to the Dark God Plane, and Sean arranged for two Seven-Star Demons to protect him.
• Ten years later, Sean sent his Death Lord God clone and Saint Domain True Body into seclusion, left his Light divine clone to manage the Qingyuan Material Plane, and took his Life Divine Clone to the Netherworld.
• Sean arrived at the Netherworld's Undead Sacred Mountain and watched bandits attack a small Metal Life near North Skeleton Prefecture, where one of them caught his attention.

Sean rescued Parhaus and his brother from a bandit attack after recognizing Parhaus’s exceptional Water Law talent. He took Parhaus as his disciple and set out to give him opportunities to grow through dangerous trials.

• Bandits ambushed Rovi’s caravan, and Parhaus protected his Wind Element brother while fighting off attackers.

Sean left Parhaus at the Nether Hotel to grow stronger, then traveled to Blood Dragon Valley to pursue the Four Divine Beasts Family soldiers who had once tried to kill him. He found some of his targets but struggled to plan a discreet attack without drawing the family’s or a Sovereign’s attention.

• Sean brought Parhaus to the Nether Hotel, where the Death Sovereign agreed to let him work and train among powerful water-element experts.
• After a hundred years at the hotel, Parhaus became a Highgod, and Sean told him to stay until he achieved the Fourth Fusion before setting out on his own.
• Sean left Nether Mountain and traveled across the Nether Continent toward Blood Dragon Valley.
• Sean detected several soldiers he recognized from Buweit’s group but stopped far from the valley to avoid trespassing on the Four Divine Beasts Family’s territory.
• Sean considered how to identify and eliminate his targets without alerting the family or attracting a Sovereign’s attention, but he could not devise a safe plan.

Sean sought Bach Ashcroft’s help in attacking the Four Divine Beasts Family, but Bach refused because his clan could not withstand a Lord God clan. Sean summoned Bach to the Qingyuan Material Plane, where he revealed that he was a Lord God and reopened the discussion.

• Sean chose the Nether Snake family as a potential ally against the Four Divine Beasts Family and traveled to its headquarters to meet Bach Ashcroft.
• Sean asked Bach to help kill members of the Four Divine Beasts Family, but Bach refused despite his desire to avenge his children, fearing his clan would be destroyed.
• Sean gave Bach five hundred drops of Sovereign's Might and told him to travel to the Qingyuan Material Plane, promising that he would find an answer to his predicament there.
• Bach arrived in Azure Origin City, where Sean asked whether his Death Rule divine clone and Saint Domain True Body were present.
• Sean unleashed Death Sovereign Power, revealing that he was a Lord God, and told Bach they could now discuss the matter properly.

Sean recruited Bach and the Nether Serpent family to target selected members of the Four Divine Beasts Family, while seeking information that could help him find Buweit in Space Turbulence. Bach agreed and revealed that a divine beast once contracted by Buweit might provide a way to locate him; Sean left him to investigate and arranged a refuge for Bach’s family.

• Sean revealed that he was a Mid-level Lord God and offered Bach Sovereign's Might in exchange for the Nether Serpent family’s help targeting specific members of the Four Divine Beasts Family.
• Bach demonstrated his Soul Annihilation ability, and Sean judged it powerful enough to kill an ordinary Asura and injure a peak Asura.

• Bach said Buweit had once contracted a divine beast whose soul connection could help Sean locate him, and agreed to have his informant investigate.
• Bach agreed to work with Sean on the condition that his family be protected if the conflict escalated, so Sean offered to shelter its core members in the Fenglan Material Plane.

Sean bound Bach to secrecy and ordered him to investigate Buweit's contracted divine beast while keeping his strongest divine clone nearby. To strengthen the Nether Serpent family without recruiting known God Plane experts, Sean began searching Material Plane prisons for powerful fighters and left Kasim under Bach's command.

• Sean placed a Soul restriction on Bach, gave him two thousand drops of Sovereign's Might, and ordered him to identify Buweit's contracted divine beast without provoking the Four Divine Beasts Family.
• Sean decided to bolster the Nether Serpent family by recruiting powerful experts from Material Planes, where they would be unknown in the God Planes.
• Sean entered the Labir Material Plane Prison and defeated Kasim, the plane's strongest fighter, after testing his Fire Law cultivation.
• Sean planted a Soul Seed in Kasim and sent him through a passage to join the Nether Serpent family and follow Bach's orders.
• Sean continued searching other Material Planes for Six-Star and Seven-Star Highgods to strengthen the Nether Serpent family.

Sean learned that Buweit's contracted divine beast Heine might carry the rare Nether Scorpion bloodline, so he began searching for him while concealing his investigation. After mobilizing the Netherworld armies to watch city gates, Sean settled into seclusion to wait for news.

• Bach told Sean that Buweit's missing contracted beast Heine was a Highgod with a possible Nether Scorpion bloodline, and explained that Nether Scorpions grew stronger by devouring their own kind and possessed a soul attack carrying poison.
• Bach gave Sean a badge containing Heine's soul aura, and Sean chose not to ask the Death Sovereign for help so he could avoid revealing his interest in the Supreme God Relic.
• Sean recruited Asad to distribute the aura among Netherworld Army soldiers guarding cities and offered Sovereign's Might as a reward for finding Heine.
• Sean placed a Death God Puppet with Asad, then spent decades asking the leaders of the other six Netherworld regions to search their cities using the same method.
• After receiving no immediate results, Sean decided he would investigate the Teleportation Arrays if the search failed and went into seclusion on an island in the Nether Sea.

Sean tracked down Hainxi in Wuduo City and forced him to guide him through the Space Turbulence to Buweit. After Buweit dissolved Hainxi’s Master-Servant Contract, Sean enslaved Buweit with a Soul Seed and began questioning him about Nasser and the Short Spear.

• A Highgod gate guard recognized Hainxi in Wuduo City, and Sean learned through his Death God Puppet that his target had been found.
