Chapter Summaries

Rosela found Rhine, a surviving descendant of the White Tower Family, and named him heir to the Second Sera Empire. After judging that Rhine could not rule the vast empire, she divided it into autonomous states and established nineteen prince-electors to choose future emperors.

• Rosela chose nineteen powerful families or races, including the Elf Queen, as prince-electors and granted the White Tower family a large territory on the Northern Border.

Rosela established the Second Sera Empire’s succession and elector system, then left Rhine White Tower to rule before departing to confront Tashaluona over Geruiya’s death.

• Rosela and Tashaluona repeatedly fought in the Void, recovering and growing stronger until they advanced through the ranks of witches.

After ascending to Sacred God, Rosela reflected on the war she had caused and questioned what truth she should pursue.

• The Witch Domain split between the Black Witches supporting Tashaluona and the White Witches supporting Rosela, while Mosela stayed secluded.
• After hundreds of thousands of years, both camps recognized that control of the Prime Material Plane would determine the Sovereign of the world.
