Sea God Ansaixi, Ocean Goddess Saifeina, and Goddess of the Earth Ruiyawei withdrew from the war, leaving Suoertan to lead the remaining Fetrola gods against the four Element Fairy Queens. As the queens were overwhelmed, the Sun Goddess suddenly entered the battlefield in a blaze of light, declaring, “I am the Sun!”

• Ansaixi refused to support Suoertan and returned to the Sea God Palace with the Inner Ring Sea gods.
• Saifeina withdrew the Outer Ring Sea gods and their forces, explaining that they needed to preserve their strength for future conflict with Ansaixi.
• Ruiyawei left for her Earth Divine Palace after pledging her children and followers to help Suoertan.
• Nuoerwende and the remaining Fetrola gods pledged to continue fighting, and Suoertan led them to attack the four Element Fairy Queens.
• The Element Fairy Queens fought back but were overwhelmed until brilliant sunlight forced its way onto the battlefield and the Sun Goddess announced, “I am the Sun!”

Sun Goddess Waxilun, Moon Goddess Mosela, and the God of Night Moluosi joined the four Element Fairy Queens to defend the elves from Suoertan’s forces. Suoertan withdrew rather than risk a costly defeat, and Waxilun began discussing two requests with the Fairy Queens.

• Sun Goddess Waxilun, Moon Goddess Mosela, and the God of Night Moluosi arrived and declared their support for the elves and the four Element Fairy Queens.
• Suoertan offered Waxilun equal status in the Fetrola Divine Court, but she rejected his offer and opposed the Divine Court’s rule.
• After weighing his allies’ divided loyalties and the strength of the opposing forces, Suoertan threatened Waxilun and ordered Xiruiya, Kailunse, and the other gods to withdraw.
• The elves and Fairy Queens thanked Waxilun, Mosela, and Moluosi for preventing their destruction.
• Waxilun told the four Fairy Queens she had two requests, and Geleina invited her to explain.

The three visiting deities and the elemental fairy queens agreed to a sacred alliance against the Fetrola Divine Court, but the elves refused to accept their faiths unless they became the elves’ racial gods. The deities swore the alliance and prepared to find a home, while Mosela took an interest in the elves’ connection to Anweinuoya’s recovery.

• Waxilun proposed an alliance with the four elemental fairy queens and asked to spread the sun, moon, and night faiths among the elves.
• Wen Daila explained that the elves honored only the Creator and Anweinuoya, whose recovery was linked to the elves’ growth and worship.
• Geleina returned from consulting Anweinuoya and said the elves would accept the deities’ faiths only if they became racial gods, which Waxilun declined.
• Geleina offered the deities dwarves from the Anbis Mountains as their first followers, and Mosela accepted before Waxilun could respond.
• The deities and fairy queens swore an alliance in the Creator’s name, then Mosela declined an invitation to visit Natiya Forest so they could seek a home of their own.

Moon Goddess Mosela proposed testing whether mortal faith could strengthen the gods by taking a Dwarf tribe as followers. As the gods watched the tribe face a deadly bear, Bulu offered anything to save his people, and a divine voice answered him.

• Mosela persuaded Waxilun and Moluosi that the faith of Dwarves might increase divine strength and that the gods should test the idea.
• The three gods descended into the Anbis Mountains to choose a Dwarf tribe to take with them.
• Bulu and several adolescent Dwarves encountered an Anbis Giant Bear while fishing, and Bulu urged the boys to flee while he held it off.
• The boys refused to abandon Bulu, but the bear knocked him aside and advanced on them.
• As the bear prepared to attack a Dwarf boy, Bulu cried out that he would give anything to save them, and a majestic voice told him to remember his words.

Waxilun, Mosela, and Moluosi rescued Bulu’s dwarf tribe and made them their favored people on Seluoxilun Mountain. Decades later, Mosela welcomed the repentant tide goddess Tyrande as her sister and subordinate, arranging to meet her on the next full moon.

• Moluosi saved the Anbis Giant Bear’s cub and let the mother flee, while Waxilun recruited Bulu and his dwarves as the gods’ favored people.
• The three gods brought the dwarves to Seluoxilun Mountain, where they built temples and settled over the following decades.
• Waxilun and Mosela drove their chariots across the sky to fulfill their divine offices and strengthen their power, while Mosela considered seeking more believers.
• Tyrande arrived on the waves and confessed that she had helped the Dark Serpent and Braiduk gnaw at the moon, then explained she had delayed coming because she was researching a new power and avoiding Sea God Ansaixi.
• Mosela accepted Tyrande as her subordinate god and sister, and Tyrande agreed to guard the moon with the tides.
• Tyrande said she could leave the shallow sea only on a full moon, so Mosela arranged to meet her on the Silver Chariot at the next full moon.

The Goddess of Wisdom Moweidina joined Mosela and Moluosi’s faction and proposed that faith might let mortals become gods. She suggested that Primordial Elves could use their Divinity to become true gods, potentially giving their alliance an advantage over the Gods of Feiteluola.

• Tyrande calmed the coastal wave and returned to the Tidal Divine Palace, agreeing to meet Mosela at the next full moon.
• Moluosi told Mosela that Tyrande’s blood had helped create the Dwarves, and Moweidina emerged and confirmed the secret.
• Moweidina explained her history with the Elves and asked to join Mosela and Moluosi’s faction; Mosela agreed, pending Waxilun’s consent.
• Moweidina proposed that faith might allow mortals to become gods, and Mosela considered the possibility that Primordial Elves could become true gods.

Moweidina told Mosela that Seweier would become the second Elf Queen and eventually seek godhood through faith, and Mosela agreed to attend her coronation. The story then shifted to the altered beasts near Fetrola Divine Mountain, where Xiruiya, Suoertan, and Kailunse surveyed the creatures they had helped transform.

• Moweidina said that fifty-three Primordial Elves survived the battle and that the Elves had approved her proposal to pursue godhood through faith.
• Moweidina explained that Seweier would succeed Natiya as Elf Queen and seek godhood after building authority among the Elves.
• Moweidina invited Mosela and the allied gods to witness Seweier's coronation in Natiya Forest ten years later, and Mosela accepted.
• Moweidina left Seluoxilun Divine Mountain, and Mosela remarked that she found Moweidina captivating, startling Moluosi.
• The narration described intelligent, physically altered beasts living near Fetrola Divine Mountain, created through the efforts of Suoertan and his siblings.
• Xiruiya, Suoertan, and Kailunse stood beneath an apple tree and looked over the beasts on the plain.

Suoertan, Xiruiya, and Kailunse debated which races might become followers, and Suoertan said he believed they could unite into one race. In the Darkside World, the newly awakened Shadow Dragon Braiduk learned that Modier had died in the World of Radiance and was warned not to challenge its gods.

• Xiruiya favored the powerful lion and tiger races, while Kailunse chose the foxes, prairie wolves, and swans as promising followers.
• Suoertan said he was satisfied with all the races and believed their strengths could complement one another as they eventually merged.
• Braiduk worried that Moon God Mosela might seek revenge for his having eaten part of her body, so he went to find Gutel.
• Braiduk found smaller creatures beside Gutel and learned they were Black Dragons formed from Modier's remains, secretly brought from the World of Radiance to pass information.
• Gutel told Braiduk that Modier had died after joining Apas's expedition and warned him not to act recklessly against the gods of the World of Radiance.

Gutel learned that the Blood Moon was nurturing a god for the World of Darkness and urged her to emerge early to protect its inhabitants from the gods of the World of Radiance. She agreed, but a sinister voice in the Blood Moon questioned her decision.

• Gutel told Braiduk that the Gaen Giant Race had been wiped out and explained that gods possessed divinity, which might grant them their power.
• Gutel said the Blood Moon was the World of Darkness’s only hope and flew up to discover when it would become a god.
• The Blood Moon told Gutel she was the Greater God appointed by the Creator and had not emerged because her gestation was incomplete.
• The Blood Moon agreed to emerge early and told Gutel to return to land.
• A sinister voice inside the Blood Moon asked whether she truly intended to emerge so soon.

Lamoon emerged from the Blood Moon as the God of the Blood Moon and Darkness, while Meloon remained hidden as her second soul. The peoples of the Darkside World reacted to their new goddess, and the Ghost Race questioned whether to continue its blood sacrifice ritual.

• Lamoon and Meloon agreed that Lamoon would emerge first and conceal that they were two souls sharing one body.
• Lamoon emerged from the Blood Moon and proclaimed herself the God of the Blood Moon and Darkness.
• Gutel, the Shadow Dragon Braiduk, and the Gut Giant Beast Race bowed to Lamoon and welcomed her as their goddess.
• Demon King Apas knelt at the New Homeland Coast and ordered the Demonfolk to bow and offer Lamoon their faith.
• A Ghost Race Transcendent Being asked the Ghost Race chief whether they should continue the blood sacrifice ritual after Lamoon's emergence.

The Blood Moon Goddess’s emergence alarmed the gods across the World of Radiance and led the Ghost Race to begin worshipping her. Meanwhile, Ocean Goddess Saifeina made the Deep-Sea Banshees her favored race after discovering their transformation at the surface, and Supreme Jun reviewed reports of a deteriorating Multiverse.

• Fuxiusi ordered the Ghost Race to build a temple for the Blood Moon Goddess and include her in their invocations.

• Sea God Ansaixi dismissed the Blood Moon Goddess as he praised the number of gods under his own authority.
• Supreme Jun reviewed reports from across the Multiverse and wondered why its condition had worsened so much in one hundred million years.

Supreme Jun watched rebellions spread across the Multiverse as regional Supremes challenged Holy Paradise Mountain’s authority. He and Supreme Luan concluded that an age of chaos was coming, fueled by the belief that Lord of Heaven Yuliel would never return.

• Three Western Region Supremes rejected the Holiness Order and began fighting Raguel’s forces to reclaim the right to govern their own universes.
• Supreme Jun watched as rebellions also spread through the Southern Region and Northern Domain, while Ming Laite seized control of Mirror Sea and other regional governors struggled to contain uprisings.

• Supreme Jun blamed the long peace for empowering ambitious Supremes and noted that many believed Yuliel would not return after being absent for one hundred million years.

• Gael, Anwyn, Raphael, Uriel, and others told Annatania that Paradise Mountain faced mounting resistance across the Multiverse.
• Annatania said Paradise Mountain might soon retain only the Central Region, then asked whether they knew the cause of the crisis.

Annatania explained that Holy Paradise Mountain was losing its authority while Yuliel pursued world creation, and Lucifer offered to enter the Multiverse Abyss to establish a refuge. Annatania approved Lucifer’s plan with Wolpis but refused to send all the Angel Supremes, leaving them divided between the Abyss and defending Paradise Mountain.

• Annatania said Yuliel’s absence and the dispersal of his supreme authority had emboldened rebels and rival rulers across the Multiverse.
• Michael insisted that Paradise Mountain’s weapons and forces could preserve its radiance, but Annatania said no one could hold the Multiverse in check without Yuliel.
• Lucifer entered the courtyard and volunteered to enter the Multiverse Abyss to carve out a pure land for Holy Paradise Mountain.
• Annatania approved Lucifer’s plan and ordered Wolpis to accompany his sister; Wolpis accepted the mission.
• The Angel Supremes offered to follow Lucifer, but Annatania refused, saying Paradise Mountain still needed defenders and their departure would signal surrender of its sovereignty.

A Transcendent instructor taught students about Holy Paradise Mountain’s decline, Lucifer’s rebellion, and the rise of independent powers across the Multiverse. The lesson ended with a student asking why the immortals and gods of the Boundless Mountains and Seas had not appeared to support Holy Paradise Mountain.

• The instructor read from the Eternal Night Journal, recounting how Queen of Heaven Annatania excluded Lucifer from a meeting about Holy Paradise Mountain’s future.

Immortal Lord Longevity sought an alliance with Divine Master Serenity as the White Mountain Dragon Court and Nine Mountains Sword Court prepared to threaten his court. Serenity agreed to help guard against the Nine Mountains Sword Court and sent Longevity a New Year’s greeting that recalled Emperor Jiang.

• Immortal Lord Longevity learned that the White Mountain Dragon Court and Nine Mountains Sword Court planned a marriage alliance, then sent Shan Wuyou to Serenity Divine Court with New Year’s gifts and an implied offer of alliance.

As the Boundless Mountains and Seas descended into war, Lionheart weighed whether to return to the Multiverse or preserve the Endless Planes as a refuge for the angels. In the Multiverse, Lucifer rejected Ming Laite’s call for a joint campaign against Holy Paradise Mountain and invaded the Mirror Sea instead.

• The seven divine and immortal courts fought for supremacy in the Boundless Mountains and Seas as their masters sought to become Lord of Mountains and Seas.

Jiang Yuu reflected on his repeated attempts to create a world that could reach transcendence, then restarted Heavenly Land once more. In this iteration, the Initial Era ended with the gods withdrawing from a devastating war, and the Spirit Era began.

• The Multiverse’s powers dismantled the Holiness Order and suppressed the Holy System, leaving ordinary people to suffer under the Age of Eternal Night.
• Jiang Yuu reviewed thousands of failed versions of Heavenly Land and concluded that he had to begin creation again by molding the Wild Giants himself.
• During the Initial Era, Suoertan declared war on the gods to consolidate divine power, and the conflict split Heavenly Land into seven continents and formed six great oceans.
• Jiang Yuu stripped Suoertan and two other gods of their God-King authority, prompting the gods to withdraw from the war and form alliances that became the later pantheons.
• The Spirit Era began, and the gods started using faith to awaken favored races and help them build civilizations.

Jiang Yuu created over a hundred Stone People and sent them to the Aip People in the southern Ouri Continent’s river valley. He charged the newcomers with joining the Aip People and bringing them the name “Human Race.”

• The Aip People grew into a distinct race and formed tribes throughout a long, resource-rich river valley in the south of the Ouri Continent.
• Jiang Yuu decided that the Human Race was necessary for the journey of creation and transcendence.
• Jiang Yuu shaped more than a hundred humanoid figures from rock and brought them to life with creation and humanity.
• Jiang Yuu directed the Stone People to join the Aip People and begin a new stage of civilization by giving them the name Human Race.

Jiang Yuu’s Rock People transformed the Aip into humans, whose growing civilization attracted the gods and spread across the Ouri Continent. After wars and alliances reshaped the lands, four major races established their pantheons, each led by a Greater God.

• Jiang Yuu’s Rock People joined the Aip, renamed them the Human Race, and helped them build River Valley City and develop their civilization.
• Moweidina discovered humanity and, with Mosela, Waxilun, and Moluosi, helped establish four knight systems and spread human settlements across the continent.
• Humans lost their first war against the Half-Orcs and retreated, but later joined the Elves to defeat the Tiger King’s forces and shatter Fetrola Divine Mountain.
• Xiruiya and Kailunse began spreading their faith among humans, while Balen helped the Dwarves flourish in the Anbis Mountains.
• Humans expanded across central and southern Ouri, and the Human, Elf, Half-Orc, and Dwarf pantheons formed under Waxilun, Anweinuoya, Suoertan, and Balen.

Jiang Yuu watched civilization and the pantheons flourish as new races, gods, and realms emerged, but the growing power of faith began to threaten the gods’ wills. After the gods tried various ways to manage it, Goddess of Wisdom Moweidina discovered that a complex divine kingdom could harness faith without its corrupting effects and even strengthen her.

• Jiang Yuu observed that the world’s history had changed course and that civilization and the pantheons were flourishing.
• As human populations grew, gods across the pantheons gathered humans as believers, and some abducted them into other worlds.
• New gods, subsidiary realms, transcendent systems, and Legendary mortals arose as the world became more complex.
• The immense power of faith began to twist the gods’ wills, forcing them to seek ways to use it safely.
• Suoertan, Xiruiya, Kailunse, Waxilun, Mosela, Balen, and Ansaixi tried different methods, producing Berserkers, War Priests, demigods, and other results.
• Moweidina discovered that constructing a complex divine kingdom could safely use the power of faith and increase her strength.

The gods’ accumulated memories of countless cycles broke through the World Source’s seal, driving them mad and unleashing destruction across the world. As Jiang Yuu prepared to reset the world, Moweidina’s newly built Divine Kingdom caught his attention, and she pleaded with him not to give up on this cycle.

• The power of faith awakened the gods’ memories of repeated world cycles and drove them into madness.
• The maddened gods attacked their followers and devastated the lands, while Anweinuoya, the Goddess of War, and Kailunse tried to protect or save others before losing control.
• Jiang Yuu recognized that his intervention and the memory seal had caused this disaster and prepared to reset the world again.
• Jiang Yuu noticed Moweidina waiting for him in her Divine Kingdom in the high heavens.
• Moweidina knelt before the Creation Fire Seed and asked the Creator not to give up on this cycle.

As the gods went mad and devastated the world, Goddess of Wisdom Moweidina remained lucid in her Divine Kingdom and used memories from past cycles to understand why the Creator repeatedly reset the world. Believing she could persuade him to spare this world, she summoned him, and he appeared before her.

• Moweidina watched the maddened gods destroy cities, landscapes, and civilizations while mortals sacrificed themselves to save others.
• As hatred and death deepened the gods' madness, the Blood Moon Goddess and the beings of the World of Darkness also succumbed, leaving Moweidina seemingly alone in her lucidity.
• Moweidina sorted through the memories of past Goddesses of Wisdom and realized that the Creator had repeatedly intervened in different cycles to change what caused the world's destruction.
• Moweidina decided the Creator wanted the world to endure and believed she could convince him not to reset it, but she wondered how to reach him.
• Moweidina knelt before the Creation Fire Seed and begged the Creator to descend, and he appeared in her Divine Kingdom.
