Chapter Summaries

After centuries of strict peacekeeping caused famines and unrest across the Astral Realm, Lucifer proposed restarting the Abyss System and allowing warfare to restore balance. At a gathering on Paradise Mountain, the Chief Angels and Aeryta rejected her proposal, while Sophia remained silent.

• 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 saw famines and rebellions spreading and urged Annatania to ease the order imposed on the Astral Realm, but Paradise Mountain’s leaders refused.
• In year 79800, Lucifer rang Paradise Mountain’s Divine Bell and called for the Abyss System to be restarted and warfare to go unrestricted.
• Michael, Raphael, Uriel, and Aeryta opposed Lucifer, while Chief Angel Sophia stayed silent.

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.

• Great Serpent Nide condemned the proposal, and Sophia told Lucifer to put away her sword and not use force to make her case.
• Queen of Twilight Jing supported Lucifer, but Arodas, Raguel, Aikalia, and the other gods and angels opposed her proposal.
• Lucifer stopped arguing, faced the Platinum Heavenly Throne, and vowed that she would not yield and would see the matter through.

Lucifer rebelled against Paradise Mountain over differing ideals, declared herself the fallen Morning Star, and led hundreds of thousands of Angels toward Hell. Annatania allowed her to leave and then announced she would stop overseeing Paradise Mountain, leaving the gods and Angels alarmed over who would rule.

• Lucifer cut her hair, struck the Divine Bell, renounced heaven, and declared herself the King of the Abyss and Lord of Hell.

• Nide, Michael, Sophia, and Arodas urged Annatania to stop or retrieve Lucifer, but she allowed Lucifer to go.
• 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.

• Annatania told Sophia that the new Vice-Sovereigns must govern independently, though they could seek her help with problems they truly could not handle.
• 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.

Sophia learned that Queen of Twilight Jing had openly supported Lucifer and that Lucifer had restarted the Abyss Blood River using a Void Star Saint's head. The chapter ended with Paradise Mountain's Angels and deities asking whether they should send an Angel Legion to stop Lucifer.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

• Jiang Yuu told Lucifer he would remain asleep until reaching the Quasi-Supreme realm and promised to reward her if she kept the Abyss in order.
