Chapter Summaries

Sean struggled to advance his Death Rule and Life Law before preparing to extract Sovereign's Might with Breler's Magic Array. After a hundred years of attempts, Sean succeeded sixteen times and left with a large store of Sovereign's Might.

• Sean told Assas that his Death Rule and Life Law still seemed one step away from a breakthrough.
• Assas informed Sean that Breler had finished preparing the Magic Array, and Sean went to Black Wind Valley.
• Breler warned Sean about the extraction's low success rate and the severe pressure it would place on his soul.
• Sean entered the Magic Array with tens of quadrillions of Nether Stones and attempted to extract Sovereign's Might.
• After a hundred years, Sean emerged and told Breler that he had succeeded sixteen times.

Sean gave Breler a Soul Defense Divine Artifact and brought him to Black Wind Mountain, then investigated a battle after his Soul Pearl reacted to a mysterious Short Spear. As Nasser fled toward Sean’s group with the spear, Sean felt an overwhelming urge to claim it.

• Sean gave Breler a Soul Defense Divine Artifact, taught him how to bind it, and invited him to stay on Black Wind Mountain to study Magic Arrays.
• Sean sensed Sovereign’s Might and felt his Soul Pearl react, so he went with his Seven-Star Demon companions to investigate.
• Sean watched Nasser fight Buweit, who demanded the Short Spear and used Dragon’s Roar against him.
• Sean recognized the Four Divine Beasts Family’s Innate Divine Ability and told his companions to leave, but Nasser broke through and charged toward them.
• As Nasser drew near, Sean’s Soul Pearl grew more agitated and filled him with a powerful desire to obtain the Short Spear.

Sean killed Nasser with a Soul Attack and seized his Short Spear, which resisted soul attacks and unleashed a powerful baleful aura. When Buweit and more than a thousand Four Divine Beasts Family members surrounded Sean and attacked with Sovereign’s Might, Sean activated Death Sovereign Power and began killing them.

• Sean’s Soul Seed failed against Nasser, but his stronger Soul Attack killed him and sent him falling with the Short Spear in hand.

• Sean attacked Buweit with the Short Spear’s baleful energy, cutting his thigh when Buweit dodged the blow.
• Buweit ordered more than a thousand Highgods to use Sovereign’s Might and attack Sean, who activated Death Sovereign Power and killed dozens of his attackers.

Sean slaughtered hundreds of Four Divine Beasts Family members while fighting off their coordinated attacks. Buweit escaped after the clan elites sacrificed themselves to delay Sean, while several dozen others fled and more than two hundred remained trapped.

• Buweit ordered the clan members to retreat, but Sean pursued him and killed dozens more with a powerful Soul Attack.

• White Tiger and Xuanwu clan members used Wind Space and Gravity Space to hinder Sean, but he killed more than two hundred of them while Buweit escaped.
• Sean spread countless vines through the area, trapping more than two hundred clan members as several dozen others escaped.

After defeating the Four Divine Beasts Family’s forces, Sean questioned the survivors and collected their Sovereign’s Might. He sent the Soul Seeded clan members away and examined the black Short Spear, suspecting it was a Supreme God Relic as he considered the danger of the family’s response.

• Sean Soul Seeded the surviving Four Divine Beasts clan members and learned they expected the family to seek help from Lord God Emissaries.

• Sean sent the Soul Seeded members with Divine Clones to the Carolan Plane to keep them away from him.
• Sean examined the black Short Spear, felt its baleful energy suppressed by the Soul Pearl, and suspected it was a Supreme God Relic.

Sean decided to go to Nether Mountain to seek the Nether Fruit and strengthen himself against the Four Divine Beasts Family, while he arranged for Breler to flee to a Material Plane. After hearing Buweit's report, Gaisreisen ordered a Netherworld-wide search for Sean and arranged for an ancestor's emissary to kill him.

• Sean decided that Nether Mountain offered his best chance to obtain the Nether Fruit, raise his Light Law, and escape the Four Divine Beasts Family's pursuit.

• Gaisreisen ordered a wanted notice offering ten drops of Sovereign's Might for information about Sean.
• Gaisreisen agreed to send Tashan to the Netherworld to kill Sean, with Buweit responsible for locating him.

Sean learned that the Four Divine Beasts Family had placed a massive bounty on him and was also offering Sovereign's Might to Netherworld experts. He kept a low profile, sent his followers to investigate the bounty, and arrived at the Nether Hotel to wait for the full moon entrance to Nether Mountain.

• Sean's Seven-Star Demons reported the bounty on his life and the offer of Sovereign's Might, so Sean decided to alter his appearance and stay cautious.
• Decades later, Sean killed a group of bandits who ambushed his Metal Life and sent his followers to Nether Prefecture to investigate the latest developments.
• Sean reached Nether Mountain and learned from Cole, a guide for the Nether Hotel, that its entrance opened on the night of the full moon.
• At the hotel, Sean noticed a red-haired girl fishing whom he suspected was the Death Sovereign's divine avatar, then booked a room and waited for the entrance to open.

Sean entered Nether Mountain to escape the Four Divine Beasts Family and seek a Nether Fruit that could make him a Lord God Emissary. After wandering through the mountain and using a Soul Seed to find a guide, he reached the Gray Mist Zone and entered it despite its influence on the soul.

• Reno killed more than a dozen Highgods who followed the group toward Nether Mountain, while the Nether Hotel's owner noted that Sean was among the mountain's strongest entrants.
• Nether Mountain's pressure removed Sean's disguise and blocked his divine sense, so he separated from the other entrants and set out alone.
• Sean avoided the green snakes that attacked him and wandered for days without finding the Gray Mist Zone.
• After a month, Sean planted a Soul Seed in the survivor of a fight and ordered him to lead the way to the Gray Mist Zone.
• Sean killed the guide at the edge of the Gray Mist Zone and entered, finding that its influence could not drive him mad.

Sean searched the Gray Mist Zone for the Netherworld Fruit Tree and recruited powerful experts by using Soul Attacks and secretly planting Soul Seeds. He led a group of more than thirty Seven-Star Demons to the tree, which he recognized as the Life Main God residing in the Netherworld.

• Sean rescued Malik from the gray mist’s madness with a Soul Attack, learned Malik knew how to search for the Netherworld Fruit Tree, and set out with him to find conscious experts.
• Sean and Malik found three men in a cave, and Sean searched their memories to learn Nether Mountain’s layout and the locations of hidden experts.
• Sean spent several years secretly planting Soul Seeds in thirty Seven-Star Demons while concealing their connection to him.
• Sean led the gathered experts to a clearing where the gray mist had vanished and found the Netherworld Fruit Tree.

Sean and his companions reached the Netherworld Fruit Tree, where he destroyed a swarm of Green Snakes and faced the Snake Spirit Elder for a chance to claim the Netherworld Fruit. The Elder’s Soul Attack failed to harm Sean, leaving it shocked.

• Sean learned that the Netherworld Fruit had appeared and that the snakes guarding the tree had killed many powerful demons.
• The Netherworld Fruit Tree produced thousands of Green Snakes, and Sean destroyed most of them with his Soul Attacks.
• The Snake Spirit Elder appeared, questioned Sean about his strength and Death Rule, and agreed to let him approach the fruit if he could withstand one attack.
• The Snake Spirit Elder struck Sean with its Innate Divine Ability, but Sean resisted the Soul Attack without injury.
• The Snake Spirit Elder cried out in shock when Sean emerged unharmed.

Sean outmaneuvered the Snake Spirits and the Netherworld Fruit Tree to obtain and swallow the Nether Fruit. He began absorbing its benefits while his allies guarded him.

• The Snake Spirits let Sean attempt to reach the Nether Fruit after he passed their first test, and he used soul attacks and Soul Poison to set them fighting among themselves.
• Sean found the Netherworld Fruit Tree’s branches too powerful to overcome directly, then learned that the tree had avoided killing previous challengers.
• Sean ordered more than thirty Seven-Star Demons controlled by Soul Seeds to hold off the branches, and they charged without fear of death.
• When the Netherworld Fruit Tree hesitated to harm them, Sean bypassed its branches, plucked the Nether Fruit, and swallowed it.
• The fruit accelerated Sean’s deductions of the Profound Mysteries and showed him countless battles; he returned to the ground and began reflecting while his allies guarded him.

Sean used the Nether Fruit to advance his Light divine clone to Highgod, though it did not help him fuse another profound mystery. After the Netherworld Main God ended the fighting, Torres summoned Sean to receive an audience with another Main God and become a Lord God Emissary.

• Sean's Light divine clone advanced to Highgod in the Qingyuan Material Plane, and he tested the powerful Three-element Fusion God Power it could produce.
• Sean told his son Tuoya that he would take him to a God Plane when the time was right, since Tuoya had stalled in fusing his third profound mystery.
• At Nether Mountain, Sean realized the Nether Fruit had helped his Light divine clone break through but had not solved his bottleneck in fusing profound mysteries.
• The Netherworld Main God appeared, restored the Snake Spirits to their senses, and ordered everyone to stop fighting over the Nether Fruit.
• The Netherworld Main God questioned Sean about controlling more than thirty Seven-Star Demons with Soul Seeds, then left the Snake Spirits under orders not to seek revenge.
• Torres arrived on the Main God's orders and invited Sean to meet another Main God, where Sean would become a Lord God Emissary.

Sean reached Nether Mountain with Torres and met the Death Sovereign, who agreed to make him a Lord God Emissary and grant him a Material Defense Lord God Artifact. As Sean moved to bind the armor, the Soul Pearl inside him suddenly stirred with an intense, strange desire.

• Torres brought Sean to the palace atop Nether Mountain and explained that emissaries could leave, though one usually stayed behind for the Main God.
• The Death Sovereign arrived, recognized Sean’s skill with the Death Rule, and asked about his conflict with the Four Divine Beasts Family.
• Sean explained that he had killed a Seven-Star Demon and attacked the family members who demanded the dead man’s wealth.
• The Death Sovereign said she would not intervene in the feud but offered Sean a Lord God Artifact because he had obtained the Nether Fruit.
• Sean chose a Material Defense Lord God Artifact, but as he prepared to bind the armor, his Soul Pearl stirred with a strange desire.

Sean became a Lord God Emissary and received a Defense Sovereign Artifact, while discovering that the Soul Pearl in his soul craved Sovereign Artifacts. After several hundred years on Nether Mountain, the Death Sovereign summoned him to the Nether Hotel.

• Sean suppressed the Soul Pearl's urge to devour his new armor, bound the Defense Sovereign Artifact, and received fifty drops of Death Sovereign Power from the Death Sovereign.
• Torres congratulated Sean and showed him around Nether Mountain, where he explained why he preferred staying there and revealed his own Offensive Physical Lord God Artifact.
• Sean suppressed the Soul Pearl's renewed desire when Torres displayed his saber, then chose a place on Nether Mountain, built a house, and continued training while occasionally exploring with Torres.
• Several hundred years later, the Death Sovereign summoned Sean to the Nether Hotel, where Sean found him fishing.

Sean learned that the Four Divine Beasts Family had gathered thousands of Highgods outside Nether Mountain to ambush him, and Death Sovereign sent him to deal with them. After overhearing that other Lord God Emissaries would join the attack, Sean withdrew to prepare his response.

• Death Sovereign told Sean that the Four Divine Beasts Family was waiting near Nether Mountain and ordered him to handle them.
• Bu Weite and Tashan discussed luring Sean out and killing him with their gathered forces, including help from Hals.
• Sean secretly approached and overheard that more Lord God Emissaries and powerful experts were expected to join the ambush.
• Sean realized the assembled enemies could threaten him if they surrounded him, so he decided to plant Soul Seeds in some of them and vanished.

Sean secretly planted Soul Seeds in members of the Four Divine Beasts Family and learned that a large force had gathered to target him. After Death Sovereign warned him that enemies were waiting near Nether Mountain, Sean asked to borrow people from her so he could strike first.

• Sean used Soul Poison and Soul Bewilderment to find a Xuanwu clansman with only one divine avatar and secretly planted a Soul Seed in him.
• The enslaved clansman brought Sean intelligence listing the Four Divine Beasts Family's forces, including a Lord God Emissary, six Seven-Star Demons, and nearly a hundred Six-Star Demons.
• Sean decided to launch a surprise attack and spent the following month planting Soul Seeds in more guards before returning to the Nether Hotel.
• Death Sovereign told Sean that more enemies had arrived and that several were waiting at the entrance to Nether Mountain.
• Sean told Death Sovereign that he could not defeat the gathered experts alone and asked to borrow people from her.

Sean gathered more than sixty Six-Star Demons from Nether Mountain by planting Soul Seeds in experts trapped in the Gray Mist Zone, then prepared to strike the Four Divine Beasts Family. He left the story near their territory, where he ordered a controlled Azure Dragon clan member to lure one or two hundred clansmen into his Magic Array.

• Sean asked the Death Sovereign to let him recruit experts trapped in the Gray Mist Zone, and she agreed.
• Sean passed the Four Divine Beasts Family members lying in ambush near Nether Mountain and entered the Gray Mist Zone.
• Over more than a month, Sean planted Soul Seeds in over sixty Six-Star Demons and reunited with Torres.
• Sean brought his followers near the Four Divine Beasts Family and summoned an Azure Dragon clan member under his control.
• Sean ordered the controlled clansman to lure one or two hundred Azure Dragon clansmen into a valley where Sean had set up a Magic Array.

Sean used Youluo Valley’s Magic Array to plant Soul Seeds in more than two hundred Highgods and take their Sovereign’s Might, prompting the Four Divine Beasts Family to send an army after him. The army reached the valley and discovered that Sean had trapped them in another Magic Array.

• Hard led more than two hundred Highgods into Youluo Valley, where Sean’s group ambushed them and planted Soul Seeds in all of them.
• Sean ordered the controlled Highgods to hand over their Sovereign’s Might, while the Death Sovereign marveled at his skill with Soul Seeds.
• A surviving soldier reported Sean’s attack to the Four Divine Beasts Family, and Buweit warned Tashan that Sean’s Death Rule posed a threat to his weaker soul.
• Tashan and Buweit led an army of more than a thousand Four Divine Beasts Family soldiers toward Youluo Valley to kill Sean and recover their clansmen.
• The army found the Soul-Seed-controlled clansmen, but when Tashan noticed Sean was absent, a Magic Array formed around them and trapped the force.

Sean trapped the Four Divine Beasts Family in a water-element Magic Array fueled by Sovereign's Might, then lured Tashan and the others underground. The family’s formation collapsed into chaos when Soul-Seeded members began attacking their own clansmen.

• Buweit and Tashan recognized the white mist as Soul Poison Gas, and the Four Divine Beasts Family used Sovereign's Might to resist it and destroy the God-level attackers.
• Tashan concluded that Sean’s water-element Magic Array used Sovereign's Might to disrupt their divine sense, while Buweit realized Sean had Soul-Seeded Azure Dragon experts to obtain water-element Sovereign's Might.
• Sean attacked the gathered family members with Soul Attacks, but Tashan struck him with a khaki spear and sent him crashing into the ground.
• Tashan led several hundred people underground and ordered them to use Soul Attacks once he forced Sean out of hiding.
• Several dozen Soul-Seeded White Tiger Clan and Xuanwu Clan members suddenly attacked their companions, killing over a hundred and plunging the group into chaos.

Sean used Soul Seeds and the Life Law to disrupt the Four Divine Beasts Family’s siege, then activated a Magic Array and turned the attackers against Tashan. Tashan died under the combined assault, while Sean remained in control of the battle.

• Buweit ordered the Four Divine Beasts Family to gather their divine clones in Blood Dragon Valley and withdraw clansmen who might carry Soul Seeds.
• Sean summoned Life Law vines that killed dozens of clansmen, forcing Buweit and Tashan to pull the army back.
• Tashan delayed the attack while Blood Dragon Valley identified the Soul Seeds, but Sean activated the surrounding Magic Array and trapped the besiegers.
• Sean approached the soldiers as they struggled to escape, evaded their soul attacks, and killed hundreds with his own attacks.
• Tashan charged Sean, but Sean used the clansmen's attacks, sixteen throwing knives, vines, Dragon's Roar, and the Magic Array to bind and kill him.
