Chapter Summaries

Several powerful teams from the Angel Clan, Demon Clan, Evil Demon Clan, and Divine Tree Clan competed to damage Decay's Thunderclap Temple, a Level 1480 World God Tier boss in the Fourteenth Heaven. Just as they prepared to attack after completing its second mechanics phase, the boss's health bar vanished.

• The Evil Demon Clan team led by Boss Odeman dealt the largest share of damage to Decay's Thunderclap Temple, while the Tree Spirit Civilization team had arrived first and broken the boss's invincibility.
• More than ten teams gathered around the boss, splitting their members between handling mechanics in its five-part Inner Field and watching competitors in the Outer Field.
• The teams completed the boss's second round of mechanics and prepared to unleash their attacks to gain leverage in future negotiations over the rewards.
• Before the teams could fully attack, Decay's Thunderclap Temple's health bar suddenly vanished.

Qin Feng used the Disaster Grand Authority to kill the World God Tier boss Decay's Thunderclap Temple while sparing worshippers and allies, then converted the boss into a soul projection. The surviving players recognized his intervention as their rescue, and Qin Feng began blessing those who worshipped him.

• Qin Feng unleashed the Disaster Grand Authority, killing Decay's Thunderclap Temple and sparing players who worshipped him or belonged to allied temples.
• Qin Feng recognized Super Big Root and the Tree Spirit Civilization team among the survivors, noting their Judgment Temple membership and worship toward him.
• Qin Feng converted Decay's Thunderclap Temple into a soul projection and received his first Divine Realm Essence, bringing his collection progress to 1/9.
• The surviving players realized they were members or allies of the Dark Shadow Association and celebrated Qin Feng's intervention.
• Qin Feng cast Blessing Judgment on every player present who had reached level 3 worship toward him.

Qin Feng permanently empowered the Judgment Temple players and temporarily raised their talents, but Long Night’s forces attacked Super Big Root before he could examine his memories. Qin Feng secretly killed and judged everyone present, uncovering a Loyal Temple player’s role in the attack and a likely link between their unknown worship target and Long Night.

• Qin Feng made the Judgment Temple players’ buffs permanent and raised their talents by one grade for half a month, causing their worship of him to increase.
• Super Big Root asked Qin Feng to examine his memories, but venom from the venom grand authority began destroying his body.
• Qin Feng killed Super Big Root and placed him in the Judgment Grounds before anyone could discover what he had done.
• Qin Feng killed all the other players present, returned to the Judgment Grounds, and examined their memories.
• Qin Feng discovered that a player from the Loyal Temple had sent Super Big Root’s coordinates to Long Night’s side, and that the player worshipped an unknown figure who was likely the loyal grand authority’s Successor and Long Night’s ally.

Qin Feng learned from Super Big Root that at least three world god tier bosses were gathered at a secret location in the Fourteenth Heaven, and he planned to go there after dealing with the players in the Judgment Grounds. He killed the hostile players, apologized to the others before sending them back, and then rewarded them with powerful permanent attribute boosts through Extreme Love Blessing.

• Qin Feng confirmed that Long Night had entered a danger zone to activate the venom grand authority against Super Big Root, but Super Big Root had survived and his memories were intact.
• Qin Feng learned from Super Big Root's memories that a player from the Tree Spirit Civilization had discovered at least three world god tier bosses gathered in the Fourteenth Heaven and sent him their coordinates.
• Qin Feng decided to visit the World Demon Gathering soon, but first killed the hostile players in the Judgment Grounds, including a member of the Evil Demon Alliance and a player from the Loyal Temple.
• Qin Feng had Osilio apologize to the players he intended to release and sent them back to the Fourteenth Heaven near the world god tier boss's star region.
• Qin Feng's Extreme Love Blessing granted the released players permanent attribute boosts based on their worship levels, with Super Big Root receiving a tenfold increase.

Qin Feng rewarded Super Big Root for his information and learned more about how players viewed the resurrection ability associated with Dark Shadow and Shadow 007. He then traveled to a remote star system to approach the World Demon Gathering, where at least three World God Tier bosses had gathered.

• Qin Feng blessed Super Big Root with tenfold attributes and raised his talent from Sun God Tier to Domain God Tier.
• Super Big Root returned to the Judgment Temple's safe zone, while other Tree Spirit players praised his new strength.
• Players across the Highest Heaven speculated about how Dark Shadow and Shadow 007 shared an unlimited resurrection ability, and Qin Feng ignored their theories.
• Qin Feng learned the World Demon Gathering's location and used the Secret-Peering Grounds to find and convert a Sun God Tier demon into a Soul Projection.
• Qin Feng descended to the remote star system but could not observe the World Demon Gathering through the Secret-Peering Grounds because a World God Tier boss blocked his view.

Qin Feng entered the World Demon Gathering star system unseen and found two World God Tier guards, one of whom belonged to Shā Míyà’s Long-Tailed Serpent Race. He released Shā Míyà to question the guard, while sensing that the star system’s space might conceal a trap.

• Qin Feng prepared for the possibility of a trap and teleported to the array leading to the World Demon Gathering star system.
• Qin Feng used Void Walk immediately after teleporting, avoiding detection as two World God Tier guards searched for the unseen arrival.
• Qin Feng recognized one guard as a member of Shā Míyà’s Long-Tailed Serpent Race and released her to speak with him.
• The guard recognized Shā Míyà and asked why she had come there.

Qin Feng sent Shā Míyà to investigate a star system where she encountered former Long-Tailed Snakefolk warrior Kabajis and another World God Tier boss, Rubaluba. Qin Feng uncovered that the system was a trap created by a Grand Authority Successor, and he realized the scheme might have been laid weeks before.

• Shā Míyà recognized Kabajis as a warrior who had served in the Seventy-Sixth Legion and asked what the star system was.
• Rubaluba arrived and mocked Shā Míyà for being a low-level pet, while Kabajis asked to handle her himself.
• Qin Feng noticed he could no longer communicate with his summons inside the star system, despite receiving no divinity influence contest notification.
• Following Qin Feng's order, Shā Míyà used void traversal to reach Rubaluba, and Qin Feng rapidly used the secret-peering grand authority on him.
• Qin Feng learned that the star system was an entrance to a Grand Authority Successor's inner divine realm and a hunting ground designed to trap Grand Authority Successors.
• Qin Feng realized the trap may have been prepared after information about him as Dark Shadow reached the Highest Heaven months earlier.

Qin Feng discovered that the Black Empress Queen had trapped him and blocked his escape, forcing him to fight the World God Tier bosses guarding the star system. He used the abyss grand authority to override Abyss Lord Rubaruba’s control and destroy him, while the remaining enemies still stood in his way.

• Qin Feng learned that the Black Empress Queen had set a trap for Grand Authority Successors and that escaping through the Teleportation Array was impossible while he was in combat.
• Abyss Lord · Rubaruba and Long-Tailed Snake Halberd · Kabajis obeyed the Black Empress Queen’s orders and attacked the intruders, with Kabajis declaring his allegiance against the Divine Mechanism Race.
• Qin Feng told Shā Míyà to deal with Kabajis while he took on Rubaruba, and he used the mechanics he had learned through the secret-peering grand authority.
• Rubaruba attacked from within the abyss, but Qin Feng used the abyss grand authority to seal Rubaruba’s skills, reflect his attacks, and break his invincibility.
• Qin Feng infused the reflected blood element meteors with the heart-severing, destruction, and voiceprint grand authorities, destroying Rubaruba’s body.

Qin Feng used his Abyss Grand Authority to kill Abyss Lord · Rubaruba, while Shā Míyà broke Long-Tailed Snake Halberd · Kabajis’s invincibility with a precisely controlled storm of Void God Thunder. As Kabajis awaited the Black Empress Queen, the surrounding space began sinking into her inner divine realm.

• Qin Feng nullified Rubaruba’s Abyss abilities and killed him instantly, sending him to the White Jade Maze.
• Shā Míyà attacked Kabajis with Void God Thunder as Rubaruba’s death stunned him.
• Shā Míyà struck all of Kabajis’s weak points hundreds of times within 0.55 seconds and broke his invincibility.
• Shā Míyà left Kabajis alive, while he warned that she and Qin Feng could not defeat the Black Empress Queen.
• Qin Feng sensed the space being swallowed into the Black Empress Queen’s inner divine realm.

Qin Feng escaped the Black Empress Queen’s inner divine realm by parasitizing Kabajis and resurrecting in Dark Shadow City. After learning more about inner divine realms and their vulnerabilities, he decided to expose the location of her entrance.

• Qin Feng ordered Shā Míyà to kill Kabajis after parasitizing the boss, using his death to escape the Black Empress Queen’s sealed space.
• The Black Empress Queen found the space empty and realized her inner divine realm’s entrance had been exposed, leaving her worried about future attacks.
• Qin Feng resurrected in Dark Shadow City by consuming one use of his unconditional resurrection count.
• Qin Feng discovered that he could still connect to the Soul Ruins inside an inner divine realm and considered using a separate Soul Origin as another escape route.
• Qin Feng learned that the space high minor authority could reveal absolute coordinates inside other inner divine realms, then decided to publicize the Black Empress Queen’s entrance.

After imprisoning the souls of Kabajis and Rubaruba, Qin Feng returned to Blue Star to prepare the Divine Ox Fierce Hunter’s nearly hatched egg for an inner divine realm challenge. He brought Inaros to the Calamity Temple and began manipulating fate and luck, discovering that the egg already had a high chance of hatching with a useful innate ability.

• In the Judgment Grounds, Kabajis and Rubaruba recognized Qin Feng’s power and pleaded for mercy, but Qin Feng imprisoned their souls in Judgment.
• Qin Feng asked Shā Míyà whether he had been right to subject Kabajis to Judgment, and she agreed that a traitorous subordinate was not worth keeping.
• Shā Míyà realized that she and Kabajis might be resurrected data and suspected Qin Feng could restore more of the Long-Tailed Snakefolk.
• After receiving Leijun’s message that the Divine Ox Fierce Hunter egg had reached 99.9% hatching progress, Qin Feng returned to Blue Star.
• Qin Feng took Inaros to the Calamity Temple, where the Thunder Spirit had placed the egg in a lightning pool, and began using Fate Prediction and Luck Deviation.
• Qin Feng found that the egg already had a high default chance of hatching with an innate ability suited to his inner divine realm.

Qin Feng investigated the secrets surrounding Inner Divine Realms while publicizing the Black Empress Queen’s realm entrance and receiving Death Smile’s offer of World God Tier bosses. The Primordial Divine Ox Fierce Hunter finished hatching, and Qin Feng prepared to inspect its abilities.

• Qin Feng suspected that Inner Divine Realms marked a new stage of the Godforsaken Game, but he could not learn their core secrets from Kabakis and Lubaluba’s memories.
• Qin Feng publicized the entrance coordinates to the Black Empress Queen’s Inner Divine Realm, prompting players with hidden affiliations and the Queen’s Insect Race subordinates to mobilize.
• Death Smile told Qin Feng that she kept more than ten World God Tier bosses in her Inner Divine Realm and offered to release them for him to kill.
• Qin Feng asked Death Smile to send him a list of the bosses without yet agreeing to trust her.
• The Primordial Divine Ox Fierce Hunter finished hatching, and Qin Feng summoned it to appear.

Qin Feng welcomed Tamur, a newly hatched Primordial pet whose five abilities enhanced Qin Feng’s Inner Divine Realm. Unsure what several abilities meant or whether to reroll them, Qin Feng asked Tamur if he was satisfied with them.

• The Primordial Pet Egg cracked in the Calamity Temple’s lightning pool, and Divine Ox Fierce Hunter Tamur was born as Qin Feng’s pet.
• Tamur gained five Inner Divine Realm abilities, including expanding the realm, strengthening its attribute bonuses, creating Boundary Points, and resisting Void Erosion and Boundary Signals.
• Qin Feng understood the first two abilities but wondered what Boundary Points, Void Erosion, Boundary Signals, and Divine Realm control meant.
• Qin Feng connected Boundary Points to entrances into Inner Divine Realms and worried about the danger facing the Black Empress Queen after her realm’s entrance was exposed.
• Qin Feng asked Tamur whether he was satisfied with his abilities and explained that Inaros could use the Cycle High Minor Authority to reset them.

Qin Feng assessed Divine Ox Fierce Hunter’s five Inner Divine Realm abilities and decided to trust its judgment. He then hunted six World God Tier bosses supplied by Death Smile, bringing his total to nine Divine Realm Essence, while declining offers involving dangerous higher-Heaven bosses.

• Divine Ox Fierce Hunter praised its five abilities, and Qin Feng decided not to kill Bald Head and use Reversion.
• Qin Feng thanked Inaros and contacted Death Smile to request six World God Tier bosses.
• Death Smile offered to remove the bosses’ initial invincibility mechanics and send Qin Feng their coordinates; Qin Feng chose six low-level bosses from her list.
• Lilith offered to find two bosses, while Lubens and Silkweave reported bosses in the Twenty-seventh and Thirtieth Heavens, which Qin Feng declined as too dangerous.
• Death Smile sent the six bosses to Qin Feng’s chosen coordinates, and Qin Feng used Voiceprint Grand Authority to kill them remotely in half an hour, gaining nine pieces of Divine Realm Essence.

After gathering nine Divine Realm Essences, Qin Feng obtained a Space-Cutting Heavenly Object that could guide him to a Boundary Signal and help create an Inner Divine Realm. While searching the heavens, he found a signal in the Eighteenth Heaven, increased his divinity limit, and learned that the Splitting Mind Grand Authority could create separate personality bodies.

• Qin Feng collected the ninth Divine Realm Essence, which combined with the others to form a Space-Cutting Heavenly Object.
• Qin Feng searched the Thirteenth through Eighteenth Heavens for a Boundary Signal, finding one in the Eighteenth Heaven after nearly ten days.
• Qin Feng absorbed Divine Source Star Sand and raised his divinity limit to 1.4 trillion, or 2.1 trillion with help from Great Swordsman Talomon.
• Qin Feng shared Late Night, Light Rain's Splitting Mind Grand Authority but did not split into multiple individuals.
• Qin Feng learned that the Splitting Mind Grand Authority let him create Splitting Mind Bodies, but chose not to make one.
• Qin Feng checked the Chaos Grand Authority and found that it had not advanced despite his fifty Grand Authorities.

Qin Feng used the Secret-Peering Grounds to travel across the vast Eighteenth Heaven and track down a newly appeared boundary signal. He found a player disguised as Yang Radiant and Stalwart, killed him, and left him bewildered inside the White Jade Maze.

• Qin Feng abandoned his attempt to fly directly across the Eighteenth Heaven and used the Secret-Peering Grounds to create soul projections along his route.
• Qin Feng repeatedly descended beside his projections and narrowed the boundary signal's location to a region spanning several hundred thousand light-years.
• Qin Feng discovered someone impersonating Yang Radiant and Stalwart, then confirmed the real Yang Radiant and Stalwart was elsewhere absorbing divine source star sand.
• Qin Feng identified the impostor as a player using the disguise high minor authority and traced his movements with the soul and gravity grand authorities.
• Qin Feng struck the impostor with a Deathblade Rift empowered by three grand authorities, destroying his body and sending him to the White Jade Maze.

Qin Feng killed a disguised follower of Poison King, then guarded an opening Boundary Passage and eliminated six hostile players who came to use it. The passage continued stabilizing, while Qin Feng learned more about Poison King and the enemies drawn to the signal.

• Qin Feng used his Soul Grand Authority to predict and kill a level 1822 player disguised as Yang Radiant and Stalwart, whose immense shield failed against Qin Feng’s World-Breaking Grand Authority.
• Qin Feng judged the disguised player and learned that he served Poison King, gaining new intelligence about Poison King while the player’s High Minor Authority of disguise returned to its origin.
• Qin Feng reached the Boundary Signal and saw that its passage was still stabilizing at 23%, so he waited while moving unpredictably around it.
• Qin Feng detected hostile players approaching and remotely killed six of them, including two Fate Temple players, two Trade Temple players, and two worshippers of Long Night and Unknowing.
• Qin Feng judged the six players and learned they had created Inner Divine Realms and hoped to improve them through the Boundary Passage.

Qin Feng entered a boundary passage and met a remnant of consciousness left by Spatial Eldritch God · Wujie, who revealed the true nature of inner divine realms and the universe. Qin Feng learned that the Godforsaken Game aimed to send players beyond their finite universe to create a new one.

• Qin Feng entered the fully stabilized boundary passage, where his soul origin changed dramatically and he lost all sense of direction.
• Qin Feng emerged in a white spherical space and encountered the remnant of consciousness left by Spatial Eldritch God · Wujie.
• Spatial Eldritch God · Wujie transmitted information explaining that Qin Feng’s universe was a finite three-dimensional space cut from an infinite fourth-dimensional universe.
• Qin Feng learned that the real universe had become desolate, that the Godforsaken Game was sustained by its remaining energy, and that its goal was for players to find other three-dimensional universes and create a new one.
• Qin Feng realized that creating an inner divine realm meant cutting a three-dimensional space from the fourth-dimensional universe.

Qin Feng reasoned that the Godforsaken Game’s universe was a three-dimensional space within a larger fourth-dimensional reality, and that Boundary Points connected separate three-dimensional spaces. After learning that Spatial Eldritch God · Wujie had revealed information about the universe’s current state, Qin Feng hoped it would help him find and bring back Ashasiss.

• Qin Feng concluded that the Godforsaken Game selected a Final Arbiter to gather the Grand Authorities and create a new universe.
• Qin Feng compared three-dimensional spaces and Boundary Points to planes intersecting within a larger space, and wondered how the Black Empress Queen had moved her Boundary Point.
• Qin Feng used analogies involving folded paper and teleportation arrays to reason about how fourth-dimensional spatial topology could connect distant locations.
• Qin Feng realized that Wujie’s information about the universe might help him find Ashasiss and bring her back.

Qin Feng pieced together that the universe had reached its Final Era and suspected the Godforsaken Game was built within the Eldritch Gods’ joined inner divine realms. He asked Boundless what the Eldritch Gods wanted the Final Arbiter to do, and learned that leaving the universe or abandoning it had already cost Eldritch Gods their lives and loyalty.

• Qin Feng learned from Boundless’s information that the real universe had reached the Final Era, its space had shrunk, and void erosion threatened to annihilate matter and energy.
• Qin Feng connected the separated regions of the Godforsaken Game to the Eldritch Gods’ inner divine realms and concluded that the realms had likely been joined to form the game world.
• Qin Feng considered unanswered questions about grand authorities, the creation of the universe, and where its depleted energy had gone.
• Qin Feng asked Boundless whether the Eldritch Gods wanted the Final Arbiter to leave the universe and seek a stronger one or create a new universe by expanding an inner divine realm.
• Boundless said either path was acceptable but warned Qin Feng that leaving the universe was dangerous, since Eldritch Gods had died exploring beyond it and others had abandoned or betrayed their universe.
