Chapter Summaries

Qin Feng completed the healing test with full marks and began the damage-taking test, where his extraordinary evasion kept the stele’s escalating attacks from landing. The test continued as Minasi watched, unaware that Qin Feng remained in no danger.

• Qin Feng depleted the healing stele’s durability at the hundred-second mark and earned full marks in the healing test.
• Minasi explained that healing would be disabled during the damage-taking test, then transformed the stele and started the trial.
• Qin Feng summoned Gray Chicken, Osilio, and Shā Míyà to build his Dark Shadow Veil stacks, then used Thieving Saint’s Hand on Gray Chicken to boost his attributes.
• The damage-taking stele attacked Qin Feng repeatedly, but every strike registered as a dodge thanks to his high evasion.
• As the stele’s attack speed and hit adjustment increased, Minasi worried Qin Feng might die, while his defenses and resistances kept him safe.

Qin Feng passed Minasi’s damage-taking test despite the testing stele’s escalating attacks, and Minasi awarded him fifty of Ileinasi’s White Feathers as his tenfold reward. The feathers increased final damage and could be collected toward an inheritance trial, leaving Qin Feng with a new reward to pursue.

• Minasi watched the testing stele’s attacks miss Qin Feng repeatedly, then saw a rare hit deal only 736 delayed damage.
• Minasi discovered Qin Feng’s Dark Shadow Arc delayed damage for thousands of seconds, while his evasion, resistance, and defense kept the accumulated damage negligible.
• The test ended after 100 seconds, and Qin Feng’s restored healing immediately returned his nearly full HP to full.
• Minasi declared that all three tests had received perfect scores and gave Qin Feng dozens of white feathers.
• Qin Feng received fifty of Ileinasi’s White Feathers, which granted final damage and could be gathered to enter Ileinasi’s inheritance trial.

After completing the tests, Qin Feng received fifty of Ileinasi's White Feathers and entered a Cycle Challenge prepared especially for him. He learned he had to fight alongside Su Xiaodie, an unclassed girl from his civilization, and watched a level-50 Blood-red Demon Wolf appear in her cage.

• Qin Feng examined Ileinasi's White Feathers, learned each granted a 3% final damage bonus, and considered collecting more to strengthen himself.
• Winged Person Bishop Minasi opened a doorframe and told Qin Feng that his Cycle Challenge was about to begin.
• Qin Feng entered the challenge and found Su Xiaodie, an ordinary girl imprisoned in a metal cage.
• Minasi explained that Qin Feng and Su Xiaodie each had to kill a demon to pass the challenge.
• A level-50 Blood-red Demon Wolf appeared in Su Xiaodie's cage, leaving Qin Feng alarmed at the impossible task facing her.

Qin Feng learned the Goddess of Love’s Cycle trial rules and had to choose one stat, one piece of equipment, and one skill to lend Su Xiaodie for her fight. He rejected Minasi’s suggestion to rely on evasion and finalized his choices as the challenge approached.

• Minasi explained that Qin Feng faced a Mythic-Tier Metal Giant while Su Xiaodie faced a level 50 Direwolf.
• Minasi revealed that Qin Feng and Su Xiaodie had to divide 98 difficulty points, which increased their Demons’ attributes and multiplied their final points.
• Minasi explained that Qin Feng could lend Su Xiaodie one combat stat, one piece of equipment, and one skill, but could not use the lent equipment or skill himself.
• Qin Feng prioritized Su Xiaodie’s survival and rejected swapping evasion rates because he would not leave the trial’s outcome to luck.
• Qin Feng chose the stat, equipment, and skill he would lend Su Xiaodie.

Qin Feng prepared for the Goddess of Love’s cycle challenge by balancing Su Xiaodie’s ability to defeat a Direwolf against his own weakened strength. He gave her his health, planned to lend her healing equipment, and upgraded Dark Dust to the required Old-Day Tier before the challenge began.

• Qin Feng reasoned that he needed to strengthen Su Xiaodie enough to defeat the Direwolf while retaining enough power to face a Mythic-Tier BOSS himself.
• Qin Feng swapped his health with Su Xiaodie, reducing his maximum health to 100 and giving her his 630 million health.
• Qin Feng chose the Queen Angel’s Holy Seal to provide Su Xiaodie with powerful healing and decided she needed a wide-ranging attack skill that could block the Direwolf’s healing.
• Qin Feng selected Dark Dust for its area damage and healing-block effect, then spent Evolution Points and an Abyss Shrine to raise it to Old-Day Tier.

Qin Feng lent Su Xiaodie the effects of his equipment and Dark Dust, then chose difficulty index 99 for his own Cycle challenge while setting hers to 1. Su Xiaodie defeated an ordinary Direwolf with his borrowed power, and Qin Feng’s challenge against a massively empowered Mythic-Tier BOSS remained ahead.

• Qin Feng evolved Dark Dust, exchanged his health with Su Xiaodie’s, and lent her the effects of Queen Angel’s Holy Seal and Dark Dust.
• Qin Feng chose difficulty index 99 for his challenge and set Su Xiaodie’s difficulty to 1, shocking Su Xiaodie and Winged Person Bishop Minasi.
• Su Xiaodie activated Dark Dust when her Direwolf fight began and survived its attacks through the borrowed equipment’s rapid recovery.
• Su Xiaodie’s Dark Dust inflicted healing prevention and killed the Direwolf after just over thirty seconds.
• Winged Person Bishop Minasi suspected Qin Feng was arrogant as she wondered how he would face the Mythic-Tier BOSS.

Qin Feng challenged the Golden Four-Armed Giant at difficulty 99, where its immense stats and Heavenquake and Earthquake mechanics made a prolonged fight seem impossible. Unable to kill it instantly with his initial estimate, he dodged its attacks while preparing to test Bone-Splitting Blade.

• Minasi explained that the giant's boosted stats, rapid attacks, and stacking marks made surviving its later phases nearly impossible.
• Qin Feng began the challenge, reasoning that killing the boss in one strike would bypass its mechanics.
• Qin Feng inspected the giant with Abyss Gaze Curse and found its enormous damage reduction and lack of weak points prevented him from killing it instantly with Annihilation Blade.
• The giant attacked Qin Feng despite being unable to detect him, and Qin Feng dodged its punches with the Wings of Death and Dark Shadow Leap.
• Qin Feng continued evading while calculating the effect Bone-Splitting Blade would have on the giant.

Qin Feng immobilized the Golden Four-Armed Giant and spent more than ten minutes building Combo Points for a carefully calculated double Instant Annihilation. He killed the boss before it could enter its next phase, leaving Minasi stunned by the result.

• Qin Feng tested Annihilation Blade and Bone-Splitting Blade, determining that the latter greatly increased his damage against the Golden Four-Armed Giant.
• Qin Feng used Void Lock to remove the boss's Unassailable affix and immobilize it while he stacked Combo Points; Minasi recognized that Void Lock was an Old-Day Tier skill.
• Qin Feng repeatedly immobilized the boss and built up 12,000 Combo Points, while keeping it at full health to benefit from Dark Funeral's damage increase.
• Qin Feng summoned Gray Chicken and Osilio, assembled his damage boosts, and used a first Instant Annihilation that dealt 3.66 trillion damage.
• Qin Feng struck again with Instant Annihilation, dealing 115.8 trillion damage and killing the Golden Four-Armed Giant instantly, leaving Minasi stunned.

Qin Feng defeated the Golden Four-Armed Giant in the Cycle Challenge, but the rescued Su Xiaodie suddenly attacked him and transformed into the Goddess of Love Ileinasi’s phantom. Ileinasi’s presence revealed a powerful, possibly conscious divine being who fixed her gaze on Qin Feng.

• Qin Feng killed the Golden Four-Armed Giant, astonishing Winged Person Bishop Minasi and freeing Su Xiaodie from her cage, but received no system notification or reward.
• Su Xiaodie approached Qin Feng, then attacked him with a black-smoke dagger that reproduced his Instant Annihilation strike.
• Qin Feng dodged Su Xiaodie’s attack with Dark Shadow Leap and struck her with Annihilation Blade, shattering her body into black and white feathers.
• The feathers formed three pairs of angelic and demonic wings, and the phantom of Goddess of Love Ileinasi appeared as Winged Person Bishop Minasi knelt before her.
• Ileinasi’s smiling mask split apart, revealing half of her face and a Divine Eye that regarded Qin Feng with curiosity, satisfaction, anticipation, and hope.

Qin Feng learned why the Cycle challenge’s Goddess of Love test had gone wrong and discovered Ileinasi’s tragic past and her two Grand Authorities. Ileinasi awarded him two Minor Authorities and asked to come aboard, just as Frost Sprite Lingche appeared.

• Ileinasi brought Qin Feng into a black-and-white space and sent him information about the Cycle challenge and the Goddess of Love.
• Qin Feng learned that the usual test involved refusing to turn Su Xiaodie into an admirer, but Su Xiaodie had instead attacked him and no choice prompt had appeared.
• Qin Feng learned that Ileinasi possessed the Authorities of Love and Unlust, born from her angel and demon personalities and the suffering they caused.
• Ileinasi praised Qin Feng for protecting himself, said he might make it to the end, and gave him black and white feathers that fused into his Wings of Death as two Minor Authorities.
• Ileinasi asked Qin Feng to let her come aboard, and Lingche appeared in a burst of cold.

Qin Feng examined the Minor Authorities of Love and Desirelessness offered by Ileinasi, while Lingche warned him about Ileinasi’s chaotic nature. Ileinasi asked Qin Feng to teach her how to win his affection, and her words left him wondering whether the supposedly dead Eldritch Gods still existed elsewhere.

• Lingche appeared on Qin Feng’s shoulder and accused Ileinasi of breaking the rules, but Ileinasi claimed her two authorities let her amend the agreement.
• Qin Feng inspected the Minor Authorities of Love and Desirelessness and learned how they could control desires and grant attribute boosts.
• Qin Feng asked whether the Minor Authority of Love could strengthen him when someone already loved him, and Ileinasi said that required the Grand Authority of Love.
• Lingche told Qin Feng he could take the Minor Authority safely but warned him against getting close to Ileinasi or pursuing her Grand Authority too soon.
• Ileinasi told Qin Feng the Eldritch Gods could not return to this world and asked him to teach her how to win his affection.
• Qin Feng stepped away and wondered whether the Eldritch Gods were still alive in another world.

Qin Feng claimed first place in the Goddess of Love's Cycle Challenge and gained a powerful reduction to the divinity cost of nullifying order. After choosing Vengeful Rampage as his skill inheritance, he became wary when Ileinasi offered to help him trigger it.

• Ileinasi gave Qin Feng the rewards for his Cycle challenge, including a 90% reduction to the divinity cost of nullifying order.
• Qin Feng chose the Ancient Grade skill Vengeful Rampage, which boosted his skill casting, cooldown, and attack speeds when a bound person of the opposite sex took damage.
• Ileinasi moved close to Qin Feng and offered to help him trigger Vengeful Rampage.
• Qin Feng watched Ileinasi warily and asked whether she planned to bind herself to him and hurt herself.

Qin Feng evolved Vengeful Rampage to Old-Day Tier, gaining powerful permanent speed boosts and calculating how they could amplify his skills. After leaving Ileinasi, he emerged beneath the East Sea with his companions and planned to find someone to bind to the skill.

• Ileinasi offered to bind Minasi to Dark Shadow so Qin Feng could activate Vengeful Rampage, but Qin Feng chose to evolve the skill instead.
• Qin Feng spent over five hundred thousand Evolution Points to evolve Vengeful Rampage from Ancient Grade through Immortal Tier to Old-Day Tier.
• Qin Feng realized the skill’s effects were now permanent, doubled when activated, and could let him maintain immense speed boosts while building up damage.
• Qin Feng asked Ileinasi how the skill defined the opposite sex, learned it was based on biological sex and included sexless lifeforms, then exited the scene.
• Qin Feng appeared beneath the East Sea off Magic City, where Osilio and Gray Chicken teased him about Ileinasi and he promised to find Osilio a female dragon.

Qin Feng learned that Great Cold Country players had arranged for the Mythic-Tier BOSS Mother of Destruction · Keriya to enter Great Xia and help kill him. He ordered Verzhini to investigate the conspirators while preparing to test his new authorities and bind Vengeful Rampage to Gui Ling.

• Verzhini told Qin Feng that Great Cold Country's East Asia's First War God had reached an agreement with Mother of Destruction · Keriya and invited Verzhini to join them in killing Dark Shadow.
• Verzhini explained that the group planned to smuggle Keriya into Yandao City with help from an officer in a local guild, and Qin Feng ordered her to identify everyone involved.
• Qin Feng decided to secretly kill everyone who knew about the scheme so Verzhini could continue collecting protection fees in Great Cold Country.
• Qin Feng chose Gui Ling as the target for binding Vengeful Rampage and planned to test the minor authority of love on someone outside his own ranks.
• Qin Feng selected East Asia's First War God as the target for testing the minor authority of desirelessness.

Qin Feng sought health-restoring Assassin equipment for Gui Ling and then traveled to Sakura Country to make Matsushita Xingyue his first target for the Minor Authority of Love. He reached her room and activated the authority as she emerged from her bath.

• Qin Feng told Gui Ling to prepare for a skill binding, and she readily agreed, trusting that he would not let her lose out.
• Qin Feng summoned Shaowei and tasked her with finding Epic or Legendary Assassin equipment that restored more than 10% of health per second.
• Qin Feng contacted Matsushita Xingyue, obtained her coordinates, and used Shadow Incarnation to reach Tōto in seconds.
• Qin Feng passed through the Defensive Barrier of Matsushita Xingyue's New Hope Guild and discovered she was still in her room.
• Qin Feng appeared in Matsushita Xingyue's room and activated the Minor Authority of Love.

Qin Feng used the Minor Authority of Love to raise Matsushita Xingyue’s adoration to its maximum and discovered that it granted him a final all-attributes boost. The chapter ended with Matsushita Xingyue prostrating herself before him, overcome with admiration.

• Qin Feng checked Matsushita Xingyue’s adoration level and found that she already admired him at level two.
• He tested how his combat power affected the authority’s divinity cost, then spent divinity to raise her adoration to level five.
• The system granted Qin Feng a 3.6% final all-attributes boost while Matsushita Xingyue’s extreme adoration persisted.
• Qin Feng revealed himself, and Matsushita Xingyue dropped to her knees and prostrated herself before him.

Qin Feng accepted most of Matsushita Xingyue’s lifespan and gave her equipment enchanted with an effect that protected her from player damage. As he headed to Great Cold Country to test his authority of desirelessness, the Love Temple’s authorities planned to win his favor, unaware that he already possessed the authority of love; meanwhile, East Asia’s First War God prepared to send the Mother of Destruction into Great Xia.

• Matsushita Xingyue offered Qin Feng 754,000 years of lifespan, and he accepted 750,000 while letting her keep the rest.
• Qin Feng equipped Matsushita Xingyue with a Peace Envoy Ascension Scroll, making her immune to damage from players, and warned her to act normally around others.
• After Verzhini sent Qin Feng information about East Asia’s First War God and the Great Cold Country players involved, Qin Feng flew toward Great Cold Country to test his authority of desirelessness.
• Seven holders of the minor authority of love gathered at the Love Temple after their Cycle Challenge rankings fell, and they resolved to give Qin Feng white feathers so he could pursue the goddess’s inheritance.
• East Asia’s First War God contacted a Great Xia guild leader’s wife, his former girlfriend, to arrange for the Mother of Destruction to enter Great Xia’s territory.

Bian Juntae planned to use the Moon Goddess and the Mother of Destruction · Keriya to kill Dark Shadow, with a surrender offer ready if they failed. Qin Feng arrived above the War God Guild Hideout and overheard the plan while studying his Minor Authority of Desirelessness.

• Bian Juntae gathered the War God Guild's core members and asked whether the Moon Goddess was ready to meet the Mother of Destruction · Keriya.
• Bian Juntae explained that he had recruited a woman from Great Xia's Yandao City to lure its maritime guards away, while keeping the assassination plan secret from her.
• The guild's chief Mage urged caution, but Bian Juntae assured the team that their inside contact knew nothing about the real plan.
• Qin Feng hovered above the Hideout, overheard the meeting through his keen perception, and calculated that stripping all 84 attendees of their desires would cost over fifty thousand Divinity.

Qin Feng used Death Disaster and Kneel, Great Emperor! to immobilize 84 War God Guild members, then stripped them of their desires with the Minor Authority of Desirelessness. After learning Bian Juntae’s memories and forwarding information about a Great Xia insider to Late Night, Light Rain, Qin Feng wondered whether the Minor Authority of Love could affect people whose desires were gone.

• Qin Feng used Death Disaster and Kneel, Great Emperor! to force Bian Juntae and all 84 War God Guild members in the meeting hall to kneel permanently.
• Qin Feng began stripping weaker players of their desires, leaving them conscious but unable to act, speak, think, or feel emotions.
• Bian Juntae noticed that his subordinates’ eyes had gone blank, but Qin Feng stripped his desires and those of the remaining members as well.
• Qin Feng learned that the Minor Authority of Desirelessness would grant attribute rewards only after its targets died, with greater rewards for those who survived longer.
• Qin Feng viewed Bian Juntae’s memories, discovered details about an inside contact in Great Xia, and sent the information to Late Night, Light Rain.
• Qin Feng considered whether using the Minor Authority of Love on people stripped of their desires would produce an unusual effect.

Qin Feng used the minor authorities of desirelessness and love to control Bian Juntae, enter the War God Guild, and take its stored lifespan. Elsewhere, the same authority made the War God squad and Mother of Destruction · Keriya kneel as a dark figure arrived.

• Qin Feng made Bian Juntae develop affection for Gray Chicken and ordered the bird to have him open the War God Guild’s barrier and hand over the guild’s stored lifespan.
• Gray Chicken commanded Bian Juntae to grant Dark Shadow access, and Qin Feng entered the meeting hall with the bird.
• Bian Juntae bowed to Gray Chicken and issued orders while the guild’s desireless officers watched without reacting.
• Off the coast of Gwangju City, a six-person War God Guild squad and Mother of Destruction · Keriya suddenly knelt, while Verzhini remained standing.
• A dark figure descended from the sky riding a white Bone Sword Pterosaur.
