• Jiang Yuu entered the White Gold Sun to build his Divine Throne and pursue mastery of the Astral Realm’s rules, leaving Paradise Mountain under Annatania’s care.
• Raguel’s crackdowns and Paradise Mountain’s strict peace policies restrained conflict but helped entrench social classes, population growth, and shortages across the worlds.

Lucifer called Paradise Mountain’s gods and angels together to seek support for restarting the Abyss System, but they overwhelmingly opposed her. She knelt before the Platinum Heavenly Throne and vowed she would not yield.

• Lucifer recalled that Annatania had refused to support her proposal unless the Chief Angels backed it, so she rang the Divine Bell and gathered Paradise Mountain’s gods and angels.

• Annatania blamed herself for Lucifer's rebellion and announced she would no longer oversee Paradise Mountain, prompting the gods and Angels to plead with her to remain.

Annatania stepped down from governing Paradise Mountain because she felt she had no right to rule after allowing Lucifer to leave. She appointed the five High Angel Chiefs and five of her and Yuliel’s children to rotate as Vice-Sovereigns of the Heavenly Kingdom, while she withdrew to the Second Paradise Mountain.

• Raguel, Arodas, Nide, Aikalia, Jing, Sophia, Aeryta, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel urged Annatania to remain ruler of Paradise Mountain.
• Annatania refused to govern again until Lucifer returned and appointed Sophia, Aeryta, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel to govern in ten-thousand-year rotations.

• At Sophia’s request, Annatania added Livier, Sariel, Jiang Jiang, Gael, and Anwyn to the rotation, leaving the younger children out.

Annatania appointed Sophia as Paradise Mountain’s first Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom and established a ten-ruler rotation, with each ruler governing for ten thousand years. During Sophia’s first session, she learned that Lucifer’s Fallen Angel Legion had seized control of six hundred Abyss layers, prompting her to question how they had crossed the Land of Twilight.

• A deity of Paradise Mountain told Sophia that Queen of Twilight Jing had taken the Twilight Angel Legion to the Light Element Realm to reorganize the six great Element Realms.

• Sophia decided to visit Lucifer alone and reassured the angels that the Crown of the Heavenly Kingdom gave her Rule Grade power.
• Lucifer used the Void Star Saint’s blood to restore the Abyss Blood River and create a cycle that would nurture demons across six hundred layers of the Abyss.
• Lucifer and the Fallen Angel Legion watched as the river grew turbulent and new humanoid demons with small wings emerged.

Lucifer inspected the newly born demons and learned that their reverence for fallen angels had been engraved into their bloodlines, but they could still escape control without the Abyss Will. She decided to forge a Demon Throne to bind them, then learned that Lady Sophia had arrived from Paradise Mountain.

• Tens of millions of winged imps emerged from the Abyss Blood River and instinctively submitted to Lucifer.
• Wolpis explained that the new demons were bound to obey fallen angels and could be controlled through their true names, but might escape their control if they became powerful.
• Lucifer decided to forge a Demon Throne at the river's source to bind the demons born there.
• An eight-winged fallen angel told Lucifer that the imps' high quality came from the souls used for this first batch, while future demon young would usually be born as Abyss Worms.
• A fallen angel reported that Lady Sophia, the Vice-Sovereign of Paradise Mountain, had descended from Paradise Mountain.

Lucifer prepared to meet her former teacher Sophia in the Abyss, where they discussed Paradise Mountain’s new crown and Lucifer’s reasons for creating the Demon race. The chapter ended with Lucifer revealing that she had revived the Abyss and its demons partly to train troops for the coming war against the Original Universe.

• Lucifer ordered Wolpis to clear the Lesser Winged Demons from the Abyss Blood River and told Lilinamel to bring the Sky City for her meeting with Sophia.
• Sophia descended alone to the First Layer of the Abyss, and she and Lucifer sat down for tea on the Sky City.

• Sophia asked why Lucifer had defected from Paradise Mountain and created the Abyss System and Demon race.
• Lucifer said she had revived the Abyss Blood River and recreated the demons not only to fill the Astral Realm’s dark side, but also to train troops for the coming war against the Original Universe.

Sophia approved Lucifer’s plan to use a staged conflict to train Paradise Mountain’s Angels and develop the Abyss Demons. She arranged twenty thousand years before Michael’s era began a true holy war, and her rule ushered in Paradise Mountain’s last ten thousand years of peace.

• Sophia praised Lucifer’s plan to train Angels through battle and agreed to support it without revealing Lucifer’s purpose to the other Chief Angels.
• Lucifer said she wanted the Chief Angels, including Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Anwyn, to improve through combat, while Wolpis overheard her.
• Sophia promised not to wage war on the Abyss during her ten-thousand-year rule so Lucifer could strengthen the Abyss Demons.
• Sophia arranged for Aeryta to govern next and wage a low-intensity war against the Abyss during her ten thousand years.

• In Year 79801 of the Angel Empire Calendar, Sophia’s rule began the Sophia Era, remembered as Paradise Mountain’s last ten thousand years of peace.

Jiang Yuu continued strengthening his hold over the Astral Realm from within the White Gold Sun as the Dark Void Race emerged and the factions of Paradise Mountain, the Abyss, and Hell evolved. After Aeryta succeeded Sophia as Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, she declared war on Lucifer and began training a new generation of angels.

• The White Gold Sun’s radiance gave rise to the Dark Void Race, whose members later sought to travel into other worlds.

Aeryta formed the Nirvana Legion and led it into battle against Lucifer’s demon army in a vast blood-war field between the Land of Twilight and the Abyss. After a month of fighting, both armies were exhausted, and deserters appeared on both sides as the two leaders continued their staged duel overhead.

• Aeryta identified the fleeing angels as Faith Angels and said she would investigate corruption and deny their Angel Hearts access to the Angel Reincarnation Pool.

Aeryta and Lucifer ended their battle and maintained a controlled war on the Abyss Blood War Field for ten thousand years, using it to strengthen their forces and purge corruption. As Lucifer’s mature demons invaded the worlds, Michael was crowned Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, beginning his age.

• Aeryta refused Lucifer’s request to slaughter deserters and agreed with her to keep the Blood War going at low intensity, with a major battle every hundred years.
• Aeryta and Lucifer ended their clash, ordered their armies to retreat, and began a ten-thousand-year struggle on the Blood War Field.
• Aeryta weeded out cowardly angels and corrupt ascension systems, while the Dark Tribunal pursued those implicated in scandals; Lucifer identified promising demons for a future invasion.
• In year 99999, Lucifer sent the first mature Expeditionary Demon Legion to invade a world, and the Nirvana Angel Legion arrived six months later to fight them.
• In year 100000, Aeryta stepped down as Vice-Sovereign, and Queen of Heaven Annatania crowned Michael as her successor.

After becoming the third Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom, Michael decided to reject his predecessors’ policies and wage war on the Abyss Demons. A week later, he began his rule by announcing a new system of honorary ranks for the Angels.

• After the coronation, Michael knelt before the Platinum Heavenly Throne and considered how he should govern Paradise Mountain and the Angel Empire.
• Remembering advice from Aeryta, Annatania, and Sophia, Michael resolved to follow his own convictions and destroy the Abyss Demons.
• Michael recalled Yuliel calling him the angel most like him and accepted that he would rule the Empire according to his own will.
• A week later, Michael announced that Angels would be divided into three tiers and nine honorary ranks based on merit.

Michael established a system of angelic honors tied to merit and strength, then used it to raise a new legion for a campaign against the Abyss. After repeated defeats by Lucifer despite recruiting other Blazing Heaven Divine Thrones, he faced an unexpected development when the long-sleeping Lord of Heaven Yuliel briefly awakened.

• Michael explained the angelic honor ranks and said Faith Angels could trade merits for strength while Holy War Angels would receive honors after reaching the required level.
