Chapter Summaries

Jiang Yuu entered the Ember Court after defeating Alanmonlos, and Alianmel recognized her husband’s presence in the unfamiliar sovereign. He judged that she was innocent and offered to release her, but her request remained unheard as Annatania urged him to agree.

• Alianmel acknowledged Jiang Yuu’s victory and asked to make a request, while Annatania urged him to hear her out.

Alianmel asked how Jiang Yuu would dispose of Alanmonlos’s remains, and he explained that he would use them to create an Endless Abyss to imprison evil and protect order. After Jiang Yuu let her see her husband’s body, Alianmel chose to die beside him, leaving Annatania to suppress the transformation of her corpse.

• Alianmel asked whether Lionheart had received one of Alanmonlos’s eyes, and Jiang Yuu confirmed that he had turned it into an Ember Emperor’s Divine Eye for his son.
• Jiang Yuu told Alianmel that he planned to bury Alanmonlos’s body in an empty Crystal Firmament and use his other eye as the Abyss Will of a prison for sinners and evil.

After Alianmel died beside Alanmonlos, Jiang Yuu claimed the Endless Planes and declared them subject to Holy Paradise Mountain’s order. He appointed Lionheart to govern the conquered realm, then prepared to create a new Abyss.

• Jiang Yuu drew on the powers of spacetime, energy, and matter to raise the Abyss halfway into a transcendent dimension.
• Jiang Yuu sent Alanmonlos’s eye into the Abyss’s core, where it became the Abyss Will.

Jiang Yuu gave the newly born abyss will authority to send abyssal creatures across the Endless Planes and set limits on where it could spread, while imprinting it with radiance that would suppress the Abyss. He created the Sea of Alianmel in the Abyss’s core realm, let the abyss will form its first creatures, and placed a feather of light in the blood river as hope for those who fell into the Abyss.

• Jiang Yuu granted the abyss will the ability to send abyssal creatures across planar barriers wherever sin was born, but barred it from places of eternal light and pure goodness.

• Jiang Yuu dropped a feather of light into the Abyss Blood River to give every being that fell into the Abyss a chance to survive.

• Jiang Yuu followed the Abyss Blood River through the Abyss, leaving divine seals to suppress the river’s potential consciousness.
• At the outermost layer, Jiang Yuu saw that the Mouth of the Abyss was closing and foresaw a future quasi-emperor rising from the Abyss, so he resolved to keep the Abyss from becoming isolated or overpowering the Endless Planes.

• Jiang Yuu named the region the Abyss and opened a space-time rift between it and the Holiness Great Plane, ordering Lionheart to send grievously sinful beings into it.

Jiang Yuu studied the Emperor of Humanity’s artifacts and insights in the Little Mountains and Seas, then developed the beginnings of his own unique Land of Being. After leaving his gratitude and discoveries on the paper, he created a Sword Tomb Minor World on the Eye Emperor and began observing its creation to forge his own method.

• After two thousand years of preparation, Jiang Yuu decided to establish an Endless Abyss within the Multiverse to gather evil before departing.

Jiang Yuu established the Multiverse Abyss by shaping its land, raising its spacetime dimension, filling it with matter and dark-side energy, and stripping away its order so the Multiverse’s evil would gather there.
