An Kai completed his twenty-day advancement on Good People Island, breaking through from Tier Nine, Tenfold to the Earth Realm as the Divine Realm’s spectacle drew hostile forces from across the worlds.

• The watching factions realized An Kai had not advanced beyond Nirvana and turned their hostility toward him, while the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord laughed and vowed that An Kai would not survive.

After An Kai awakened, the Goodness Home Mage Association attacked the forces besieging Good People Island, while representatives of the Five Great Continents watched and weighed their options.

An Kai returned to Good People Island, drove off the Chaos Sea creatures, and pretended to be gravely injured so the five dominant factions would underestimate him. After the creatures left, he planned to use the false impression of weakness to buy time to recover and prepare.

• The Three-Headed Dog mistook An Kai’s display of power and friendly smile for an opening to form an alliance, while An Kai considered enslaving him with [Beast Taming].

• An Kai let spies from the five dominant factions and the [Lord of the Eternal Life Abyss: Lord of Life] leave without contracts so they could report that he was gravely injured.

An Kai assessed the five powers’ limits on the Chaos Sea and used his apparent injuries to keep their attention at bay while strengthening Goodness Home. After recruiting two Nirvana captives to find world cores and laborers, he prepared to deal with the Three-Headed Dog, but a new system countdown appeared.

• An Kai learned that the five powers barred beings above Nirvana: Origin Tracing from the Chaos Sea and would compete for a way beyond Nirvana in forty-two years.

As Chaos Sea powers plotted against Good People Island and the wounded [Divine Realm An Kai], An Kai discovered that his spies had already infiltrated their gathering and that new recruits were arriving.

• An Kai confirmed the three-headed hound remained under [Beast Taming] and ordered him to gather [world cores] and lure Southern Continent magical beasts to the [Chaos Sea].

• An Kai learned that his spies had infiltrated the gathering and that Western Continent followers and Northern Continent [Divine Remnants] had returned with companions they had lured in under the pretext of revenge.

An Kai used the fake story of his injuries and the contracts he had turned into slave contracts to lure the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord’s forces and their allies to a passage on Good People Island. The attackers entered the trap, while the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord realized too late that something was wrong, and An Kai announced they were surrounded.

• The Long-Lived Species Grand Lord grew suspicious as the attackers entered the passage, but realized too late that most of them had already gone inside.
• An Kai declared that he had surrounded the beings who entered the passage.

Meanwhile, Three-Headed Dog guided a magical beast envoy to meet An Kai, while the Lord of Life silently resented the envoy for insulting her lord.

• Cultist 9527 and [Divine Remnant] 9527 ambushed their companions and joined An Kai as he attacked and routed the Chaos Sea forces.

• An Kai ordered the Three-Headed Dog to hurry the Blue-Eyed Golden-Eyed Lion toward the Wealth Abyss, and the dog invented a deadline to make the Lion King speed up.
• The Blue-Eyed Golden-Eyed Lion led his subordinates and the Lord of Life through the passage into the Wealth Abyss, eager to discover the Abyss's inheritance.

• The Lord of Life stared at An Kai with intense interest, and An Kai recognized that his abyss body: battle had beguiled her.

When Goudan reported that the [Divine Court Fourth Layer] had awakened and that his teacher had appeared, An Kai rushed to the Pleasure House to hear the details.

• An Kai rushed to the Pleasure House, where Nurnexius and Golden Dragon were waiting with Goudan.

News of the layer’s appearance and its supposed owner spread through the Divine Realm, prompting the Five Great Powers to convene again.

• The Divine Court Fourth Layer appeared in the Western Continent Believers’ territory in the Chaos Sea, and its enchanting songs lured believers into its palace complex.

• Representatives of the Divine Realm’s Five Great Powers gathered to discuss the Fourth Layer, unaware that An Kai’s plan had prompted the meeting.

An Kai used the Five Great Powers’ focus on the Divine Court Fourth Layer to begin taking control of Nameless Town’s Insect Realm passages, which could give him influence across the Divine Realm and a supply of World Cores. After Goodness Home seized half the Barren Abyss, An Kai prepared to challenge its Gold-Swallowing Bone Person Grand Lord as his four attributes reached the peak of the Legendary realm.

• An Kai prepared to attack the Grand Lord, whose strength was at the Nirvana: Self-Realization realm, as An Kai’s four attributes reached the peak of the Legendary realm.

• An Kai finished raising his four attributes to the peak of the [Legendary] tier and prepared to subdue the [Gold-Swallowing Bone Person] Grand Lord.

After his attributes stagnated at 100.0000, An Kai learned that he would need to complete four trials before they could grow again. When he merged the Wealth Abyss and Barren Abyss Tokens, the realms became the Desire Abyss, awakening the Abyss and launching a new invasion while An Kai examined his new identity as Lord of Desire.

• An Kai questioned the Gold-Swallowing Bone Person Grand Lord about his Nirvana trial, then concluded that the Grand Lord’s experience would not help with his own four trials.

• An Kai planned to gather [World Cores], investigate the Divine Court and the Eleventh Layer's forces, and learn what others knew about the [Desire Abyss].

An Kai discovered that the [Lord of Desire Token] showed each observer what they desired most and drew them into the [Desire Abyss]. After he entered [Nameless Town], its population vanished into the Abyss, and the Five Great Powers sought answers from him.

• An Kai tested the [Lord of Desire Token] with Wayne, Teacher A Ken, Hanks, and Nurnexius, learning that it appeared as each one’s deepest desire and affected anyone who focused on him.

• The Five Great Powers’ leader drew attention to An Kai, causing the onlookers to see their desires and disappear into passages to the [Desire Abyss].
• After three hours, An Kai left [Nameless Town], which had been emptied of its inhabitants.
• The Five Great Powers discovered the mass disappearance, and a Southern Continent Magical Beasts expert asked An Kai what he knew about [Nameless Town] and the [Desire Abyss].

An Kai deceived a Southern Continent magical beast about his connection to the [Desire Abyss], then used an undead disaster to expand his influence across the [Chaos Sea]. He took on the title [Undead Overlord] and revealed the power of his previously unseen [Dimensional Will] spell.

• An Kai told the wolf-headed magical beast a fabricated tale about being betrayed by Lin Dong and losing the position of [Lord of Desire], earning the beast’s sympathy while confirming that the Five Great Powers did not know how the [Desire Abyss] had formed.
• An Kai learned that the Long-Lived Species Grand Lord could not contact the Southern Continent Magical Beasts because of the [Short-Lived Abyss] invasion, and sent eighteen long-lived [Necromancers] with the [Lord of Life] toward the [Divine Court Fourth Layer].
• The [Necromancers] turned opposing factions into undead, creating an undead calamity that overwhelmed a [Nirvana: Origin Tracing] being and drew the Five Great Powers into an inconclusive meeting.
• An Kai used representatives bound by [Contract] to hinder the Five Great Powers’ response, then urged the independent factions of the [Chaos Sea] to unite against the undead calamity under his direction.
• As An Kai expanded his control over the independent territories, the beings of the [Chaos Sea] called him the [Undead Overlord], a title he had deliberately spread.
• An Kai operated under his new title using [Dimensional Will], a spell that trapped enemies in a dark cage or banished them to a barren dimension, and reflected on why powerful Mages were drawn to that dangerous unknown place.
