Chapter Summaries

Yi Tian killed the three Abyss Demon Emperors with Sichen’s help, ending the danger in the Endless Soul Prison. The Kirin Venerable’s body then formed a legacy orb that required Sacred Beast blood to unlock.

• Sichen’s domain faded, and she and Lux discovered that Yi Tian had killed Guimie and Gu Yue and shattered Heavenly Demon Soul Crossing.
• Yi Tian attacked Lux while Sichen sealed the cave in a space that prevented escape, allowing Yi Tian to destroy Lux’s shadow form and kill her for good.

• The Kirin Venerable’s chained body transformed into a golden orb, which Sichen recognized as his legacy.
• Yi Tian learned that the legacy orb required a drop of Sacred Beast blood to unlock, and Sichen worried that finding a Sacred Beast would be difficult.

After defeating three Demon Emperors, Yi Tian learned more about the danger of the Abyss’s God Prison and discovered that the real Xiao Ziyan had awakened. He sent the others away and asked whether she had witnessed every ability he used in battle.

• Sichen warned Yi Tian that the Abyss would target him for killing three Demon Emperors and taking the Kirin Venerable’s legacy, and cautioned him about God Prison’s ability to control three people.

• Xiao Ziyan awakened, reunited with the Vermilion Bird, and confirmed that she was the real Xiao Ziyan after Yi Tian checked her profile.
• Xiao Ziyan thanked Yi Tian for saving her, and Yi Tian asked the others to leave so he could speak with her alone.
• Yi Tian asked Xiao Ziyan whether she had seen the battle and every ability he used.

Yi Tian confronted Xiao Ziyan after she witnessed the power of his God King-tier artifact, Exile the Venerable King. Rather than kill her, he offered her a Recruitment Contract, and Xiao Ziyan agreed to sign it.

• Xiao Ziyan admitted she had seen Yi Tian use Exile the Venerable King and understood that he might kill her to protect his secret.
• Xiao Ziyan accepted the possibility of death and asked Yi Tian to save the Vermilion Bird from the Turbid Heart Seal if she died.
• Yi Tian told Xiao Ziyan he had not decided to kill her and offered her a Recruitment Contract that let him erase her abilities if she became suspicious.
• Xiao Ziyan signed the contract, giving Yi Tian the chance to recruit a Greater God and gain fire law divine power.

Xiao Ziyan signed Yi Tian’s contract and gained a powerful new fire ability, while Yi Tian shared her divine power and abilities. Xiao Ziyan then persuaded Vermilion Bird to accept a contract that could cure her Turbid Heart Seal, leaving Yi Tian with two contracted Greater God-level companions.

• Xiao Ziyan signed Yi Tian’s recruitment contract, transforming her fire divine power and granting Yi Tian her attributes, abilities, and talents.
• Xiao Ziyan realized Yi Tian could grant new abilities and suggested contracting Vermilion Bird so she could heal from the Turbid Heart Seal.
• Yi Tian examined Vermilion Bird’s profile, confirmed he could remove the seal, and offered her a recruitment contract.
• Vermilion Bird suspected Yi Tian had controlled Xiao Ziyan until Xiao Ziyan explained that they had signed contracts to balance their leverage and listed the benefits.
• Vermilion Bird pressed her claw print onto the contract, becoming Yi Tian’s second contracted Greater God-level companion.

Vermilion Bird overcame the Turbid Heart Seal and joined Yi Tian, giving him three of the Primordial Four Symbols. After learning that the Abyss was preparing an assault on the Radiant Stars Nation and that Wan Ming had been condemned to the Vanguard Squad, Yi Tian heard Xiao Ziyan predict the nation was about to face upheaval.

• Vermilion Bird burned away the Turbid Heart Seal, awakened greater Lifire Power, and joined Yi Tian.
• Xiao Ziyan told Yi Tian that the Abyss had gathered troops to exploit the Radiant Stars Nation’s losses and internal conflict, then hurried back to rally the families.
• Yi Tian asked Wan Xiong about Wan Ming and learned that Wan Ming had been accused of colluding with the enemy after losing the Demon-Sealing Tower.
• Wan Xiong explained that a Truthspeaker had exposed Wan Ming’s claim as a lie, but Wan Ming refused to reveal who had received the tower to protect his son, Wan Jiang.
• Wan Xiong said Wan Ming had been assigned to the Vanguard Squad and could not be visited, but Xiao Ziyan said the coming upheaval might break the Wan Family’s old rules.

After the Endless Soul Prison ruins collapsed, Xiao Ziyan faced accusations from the gathered leaders and claimed she had killed three Abyssal Demon Emperors. When Mills pressed her about the Kirin Venerable’s legacy, Yi Tian appeared before him and confronted him.

• The Endless Soul Prison ruins collapsed after Yi Tian, Xiao Ziyan, and Wan Xiong escaped, drawing powerful leaders and onlookers to the site.
• Xiao Bowen welcomed his daughter, Xiao Ziyan, and she told the crowd that Abyssal Evil Demons had ambushed her inside the ruins.
• Mills challenged Xiao Ziyan’s account, but she declared that she had killed Demon Emperor Guimie, the Dark Star Demon Emperor, and Demon Emperor Gu Yue.
• Mills pressed Xiao Ziyan about whether she had found anything left by the Kirin Venerable, and Yi Tian suddenly stepped forward.
• Mills recoiled when he recognized Yi Tian, who mocked him for acting arrogant while Yi Tian had been away.

Yi Tian attacked Mills for spreading false rumors about him, but Mills survived through a protective charm and Grant Kuros’s intervention. After Xiao Ziyan exposed Mills’s lies, Yi Tian warned her that Mills had already been controlled by [God Prison] and replaced by an Abyssal Evil Demon.

• Yi Tian struck Mills with fused fire and netherworld divine power while knocking back Mills’s True God guardian, but Mills’s necklace shielded him and summoned Grant Kuros’s projection.
• Xiao Ziyan backed Yi Tian and explained that the Kirin Venerable’s aura had been an Abyssal Evil Demon in disguise and that Mills had fabricated the life divine core story to frame Yi Tian.
• Grant Kuros demanded an answer from Mills, who admitted he had acted out of poor judgment, and Grant slapped him before apologizing to Yi Tian.
• Grant left with Mills and the Origin Martial World group, while Mills glared at Yi Tian as he departed.
• Yi Tian told Xiao Ziyan to watch Mills closely and revealed that he suspected [God Prison] had already controlled him and placed another Abyssal Evil Demon inside his body.

Yi Tian suspected Mills was controlled by God Prison and warned Xiao Ziyan that the Abyss’s plans could threaten the Origin Martial World as well as the Radiant Stars Nation. Back in Great Xia, he considered infiltrating the Abyss, then told Alice he had a dangerous way to make her stronger.

• Yi Tian inferred that Mills was likely controlled by God Prison and urged Xiao Ziyan to watch him and remain alert for another controlled person.
• Xiao Ziyan revealed the Abyssal Evil Demons’ conspiracy to the Radiant Stars Nation’s families while Yi Tian returned to Blue Star.

• Yi Tian returned to Great Xia, recognized the threat the Abyss posed, and considered using the Azure Dragon Soul Pearl and Abyss Demon Heart to infiltrate it.
• Alice asked Yi Tian to arrange team-building so she could grow stronger and kill Mills, but Yi Tian explained that her team lacked a member.
• Yi Tian looked at the Abyss Demon Heart and Alice, then offered a dangerous way to make her stronger.

Yi Tian helped Alice begin a dangerous transformation so she could infiltrate the Abyss, but the Abyss Power threatened to assimilate her. He spent 100 funds to preserve both her human and Abyss identities, and Alice emerged with two advanced panels.

• Yi Tian explained the dangers of going undercover in the Abyss, and Alice agreed after asking him to avenge her if she died.
• Alice shattered the Black Dragon Pearl, releasing Abyss Power that engulfed her and destroyed Green Mountain Apartments' defenses.
• A notification warned Yi Tian that Alice was about to lose her Classholder Panel and offered three ways to respond.
• Yi Tian spent 100 funds to strengthen Alice's class power and preserve both her Classholder Panel and Abyss identity.
• Alice completed the transformation and gained the class Blade of All Things' Annihilation and the Abyss panel Annihilation Demon Emperor.

Alice gained the Annihilation Demon Emperor title and was transported to the Eternal Abyss, where she began her undercover mission. After learning that the Abyss had seven planes and its legions were being sent to invade other worlds, she was escorted to meet the Holy Lady on the fifth plane.

• Alice's abilities advanced, she gained the Annihilation Demon Emperor title, and a pillar of black light carried her away from Yi Tian.
• Alice arrived in the Eternal Abyss, a dark world filled with vast legions of evil demons.
• Orders mobilized Abyss legions to attack the Moka World and the Phosphor Beast World.
• Evil demons greeted Alice as their ruler, and a courtly Demon Emperor invited her to meet the Holy Lady.
• The Demon Emperor explained that the Eternal Abyss had seven planes and took Alice to the fifth plane, where the Holy Lady resided.

Alice met the Heavenly Demon Life-Creation Sacred Lord, who invited her to join a plan to destroy the Radiant Stars Nation and the Origin Martial World. Alice eagerly agreed, leaving the meeting welcomed as a member of the plan.

• The Sacred Lord summoned Alice and explained that powerful beings in the Abyss cooperated on plans in exchange for contributions that could fulfill their wishes.
• Alice asked whether the Abyss could grant any wish, including power equal to the Sacred Lord's, and learned she would have to strive for such power herself.
• The Sacred Lord revealed that her plan was to eliminate the Radiant Stars Nation and the Origin Martial World and offer both Planes to the Abyss.
• Alice excitedly agreed to join after hearing the plan targeted the Origin Martial World.
• The Sacred Lord welcomed Alice and introduced herself as the Heavenly Demon Life-Creation Sacred Lord, or Butterfly.

Alice learned that the Abyss planned to conquer the Origin Martial World by controlling Mills, whose body Demon Emperor-Charm had taken over with the Abyss Demon Artifact God Prison. After torturing Mills with Soul Shatter, Alice received the artifact and a three-day mission to kill Greater Gods and help Charm injure Mills’s father so the impostor could seize power.

• The Butterfly Holy Lord assigned Alice to cooperate with other Demon Emperors against the Radiant Stars Nation, but Alice asked to target the Origin Martial World instead.
• The Butterfly Holy Lord revealed that Demon Emperor-Charm controlled Mills through God Prison, leaving Mills alive but unable to control his body.
• Alice used Soul Shatter to torture Mills’s Divine Soul until the Butterfly Holy Lord stopped her, warning that Mills still had a role in the plan.
• The Butterfly Holy Lord lent Alice Soul Shatter and ordered her to help kill two Greater Gods from each target nation within three days.
• The Butterfly Holy Lord also ordered Alice to work with Charm to severely injure Mills’s father so Mills could seize power.

Alice explored the Abyss with Demon Emperor Charm and learned how its planes connected to most worlds and how its Black Tower offered rewards for contributions. When Demon Emperor Charm revealed that the Abyss could grant beings entirely new abilities, Alice thought of Yi Tian and felt afraid.

• Demon Emperor Charm took Alice through the Abyss and explained that its first three planes contained portals to at least ninety-eight percent of worlds.
• Demon Emperor Charm said that only Demon Emperors or stronger could enter the fourth plane, while the fifth and sixth were reserved for Holy Lords and the seventh was sealed off.
• Demon Emperor Charm brought Alice to the Black Tower, where Abyss members could trade contributions for power, status, artifacts, and other rewards.
• Alice found the first floor's offerings unimpressive, so Demon Emperor Charm led her to the third floor and showed her an orb that could grant a completely new ability system.
• Alice associated the Abyss's ability-granting power with Yi Tian and felt a trace of fear.

Yi Tian faced Bedreya in the Heavenly God Realm after she caught him impersonating the God King, and their battle showed that her strength far exceeded his expectations. He stopped fighting and flew toward the Treasure Pavilion’s nine hundred and first floor, hoping to make her calm down.

• Yi Tian checked the Divine Beast Egg and saw cracks forming in its shell before leaving the Treasure Pavilion.
• Bedreya appeared, accused Yi Tian of impersonating the God King, and trapped them both inside her Divine Domain.
• Yi Tian used three Divine Domains to break Bedreya’s domain, then stayed to fight instead of escaping.
• Bedreya repeatedly knocked Yi Tian back, and he realized she was far stronger than the True Gods he had fought before.
• Yi Tian vanished from the battle and flew toward the Treasure Pavilion’s nine hundred and first floor.

Yi Tian confronted Bedreya in the Treasure Pavilion and convinced her he meant no harm by showing her the God King's artifact and Sichen's jade pendant. He asked why she had imprisoned Lu Qi, and Bedreya admitted she had wronged him but said freeing him would leave her with a weakness.

• Bedreya pursued Yi Tian, but he sought protection beside the Supreme Guardian on the Treasure Pavilion's nine hundred and first floor.
• Yi Tian showed Bedreya Exile the Venerable King and Sichen's jade pendant, explaining that Sichen had sent him to find the God King.
• Bedreya's anger faded, and she asked about Sichen; Yi Tian told her how the Celestial Time Goddess was doing.
• Yi Tian asked Bedreya why she kept Lu Qi imprisoned, and she admitted, "I've wronged him."
• Yi Tian relayed Lu Qi's message that they could face their difficulties together, but Bedreya said that freeing him would leave her with a weakness.

Yi Tian learned from Bedreya that a True God’s betrayal had trapped the Heavenly God Realm inside the Eternal Abyss. The God King Zhuzhao’s barrier still protected the realm from invasion and outside scrutiny, though Bedreya resented him for disappearing before a crucial battle.

• Yi Tian questioned why Bedreya stayed to protect the ruined Heavenly God Realm, and she explained that leaving would be difficult.
• Bedreya recounted how a True God concealed the Heavenly God Realm in a special plane, then defected to the Abyss.
• Bedreya revealed that the Heavenly God Realm was imprisoned on the sixth plane of the Eternal Abyss, leaving Yi Tian horrified to realize he had entered the Abyss whenever he visited.
• Bedreya explained that God King Zhuzhao’s barrier had kept Abyssal beings out and shielded the realm from outside eyes.
• Yi Tian noticed Bedreya’s contempt for the God King, and she said she could not respect him for disappearing on the eve of battle.

Bedreya explained how the God King's oppressive decrees restricted the Human Race and helped cause the Heavenly God Realm's collapse, while the realm barrier still kept Lu Qi imprisoned. Yi Tian proposed taking Lu Qi away to grow stronger, and claimed he could do so despite the barriers.

• Bedreya told Yi Tian that the God King had ruled autocratically, forbidden gods from acting outside their roles, and banned ordinary contact between the Heavenly God Realm and Hell Realm.
• Bedreya revealed that the God King had restricted the abilities of the Human Race and other races to suppress rebels, prompting Yi Tian to suspect the decree caused Great Xia's random class assignments.
• Bedreya explained that after the God King's disappearance, suppressed gods fled or joined the Abyss, and the Heavenly God Realm fell into chaos.
• Bedreya warned that the realm barrier would expel Lu Qi if she released him, and that the nearby Abyss could threaten him and the Heavenly God Realm.
• Yi Tian offered to take Lu Qi away until he became stronger, then said he could use Recruitment to do it.

Yi Tian freed Lu Qi from the Heavenly Prison and offered him a chance to leave the Heavenly God Realm and grow strong enough to return to Bedreya. Lu Qi chose to face the future alongside her, accepted Yi Tian's Recruitment Contract, and awakened as a Yellow Springs Nether Lord with a Divine Throne.

• Bedreya agreed to let Yi Tian take Lu Qi away, even though she feared they might be separated for a long time.
• Yi Tian found Lu Qi in the Heavenly Prison, where Lu Qi remembered Bedreya's visits and the memories she had repeatedly hidden from him.
• Yi Tian offered Lu Qi the choice of staying to see Bedreya or leaving to become strong enough to fight beside her, and Lu Qi immediately chose to leave.
• Yi Tian shattered Lu Qi's chains and gave him a Recruitment Contract, which Lu Qi accepted.
• Lu Qi transformed into a Yellow Springs Nether Lord, and Yi Tian discovered that he had inherited a Divine Throne and possessed powerful abilities.

Yi Tian rescued Lu Qi from the Heavenly Prison and brought him to the Nether Realm, where the River of Lost Love unleashed Lu Qi’s memories of Bedreya. Lu Qi’s grief triggered a dramatic surge in power, leaving him a Soul Law Greater God.

• Yi Tian used On-Call to pull Lu Qi out of the Heavenly God Realm just before the decree struck, while Bedreya watched him disappear.
• Lu Qi sensed the Hell Realm’s aura at the River of Life and Death, opened a passage through it, and followed Yi Tian into the Nether Realm.
• Yi Tian introduced Lu Qi to Chen Mo and Zhou Yuan at the Netherworld Palace, where Lu Qi recognized the familiar aura of his lost home.
• Lu Qi approached the River of Lost Love despite Chen Mo’s warning and touched its water, reliving his memories and separation from Bedreya.
• Lu Qi’s soul law power surged as he cried out Bedreya’s name, raising his divine power from demigod to Greater God and changing his Divine Throne to Soul Law Greater God.

Lu Qi awakened the power of his Yellow Springs divine throne and agreed to stay in the Netherworld Palace until Yi Tian could call on him to fight the Abyss. Back in Great Xia, Yi Tian read Alice’s secret letter, which revealed the Abyss’s plans and its ability to grant powers, leaving him troubled but grateful for her trust.

• Lu Qi explained that the Nether Realm river was a tributary of the Wangchuan River, whose power had awakened his accumulated Soul Law strength and raised him to Greater God.
• Yi Tian suggested Lu Qi remain in the Nether Realm and offered to summon him for a coming battle against the Abyss; Lu Qi agreed to kill evil demons and help ease Bedreya’s burden.
• Yi Tian returned to Green Mountain Apartments and found a letter marked with Alice’s abyss power, confirming that her infiltration of the Abyss had succeeded.
• Yi Tian read Alice’s account of the Abyss’s Holy Lords, its plans to destroy Human Race forces, and its ability to grant abilities to others.
• Yi Tian wondered whether the Abyss’s similar power was connected to his own, then smiled because Alice had trusted him with everything she learned.
