Aikesi, a serf-born gang boss who believed mysterious luck had marked him as the world's protagonist, followed an instinct into the Whispering Thicket after a great upheaval. He found the dead Radnos, God of Battle and Murder, in a crater and realized he might seize the chance to claim a god’s power.

• Aikesi recalled witnessing a heroic prince enter Hast Fortress and hearing a mysterious voice proclaim that one of the lowest-born mortals would become the world's protagonist.
• Aikesi was thrown from his horse by a violent upheaval near the Whispering Thicket, then felt compelled to investigate something that had fallen in the woods.

• The Void suddenly grew bitterly cold, and an icy voice told Youlun that he had finally come out.

• Aikesi used his Divine Kingdom to suppress Youlun, wear down his Blood-Qi River, and repeatedly wound him until he fell near death.

• Jiang Yuu offered Youlun the choice between becoming independent and merging with him to transcend.
• Youlun chose independence because he would not abandon his young daughter Manluo'er or leave Aoweiliya behind.

• Youlun told Aoweiliya he had completed his mortal path and intended to ascend to godhood to stay with her and their daughter.

Youlun decided to ascend as a god of battle, vengeance, and revolution, and his parents returned from the dead as his family gathered in the palace. As a mysterious will raised another barrier of cognition over the Sacred River Heavenly Land, Youlun sensed that Jiang Yuu was about to begin.

• Youlun agreed to pursue godhood, and Aoweiliya explained that the kingdom’s people could provide enough faith for his ascension.
