Chapter Summaries

Qin Feng evolved his skills and advanced his mastery of the Soul Grand Authority, gaining soul invincibility for himself and his soul projections. While he planned his next steps, many players and Demons across the Blueprint Worlds ignored his orders, throwing the Blue Star System into chaos.

• Late Night, Light Rain ordered Mythic-Tier bosses to gather at designated points on every Demon Planet after Qin Feng told him to proceed.
• Qin Feng evolved Greedy Heavenly Eye and several passive skills to Cosmic God Tier, but some effects remained limited because he had not established an internal Divine Realm.
• Qin Feng's Soul Grand Authority advanced, linking his soul and his projections' souls to the Soul Ruins so soul damage was transferred away from them.
• Qin Feng questioned whether the change marked a new stage of the Soul Grand Authority or merely progress within its current stage.
• Many players and Demons across the Blueprint Worlds disregarded Shadow's orders, causing disorder throughout the Blue Star System.

Qin Feng’s order reached Green Star World, telling bosses to pledge allegiance to Dark Shadow and forbidding players from attacking them. The Eye of Despair seized the chance to escape a nearly finished raid, but its attackers refused to let their hard-won progress go to waste.

• Players in Green Star World resented the world’s name and the Blue Star System’s control, while many still revered Dark Shadow.
• Three Temple Leaders and their teams brought the Eye of Despair close to defeat after fighting it for nearly half a month, with a Soul Minor Authority healer repeatedly resurrecting them.
• The Echo Temple broadcast Qin Feng’s order that bosses who pledged allegiance to Dark Shadow and reported to a designated location could no longer be attacked, and that bosses could not attack players.
• With its Health below a tenth and facing imminent execution, the Eye of Despair declared allegiance to Dark Shadow.
• The Demon Civilization raiders rejected the Eye of Despair’s declaration and shouted, “Allegiance? Allegiance, my ass!”

The Duke of Dark Concealment and other players and demons who disobeyed Qin Feng’s orders were brought to the White Jade Maze by his generalized judgment. After screening their circumstances and pasts, Qin Feng froze those he deemed guilty, advancing his extreme cold grand authority to phase two.

• The Duke of Dark Concealment ordered his team to keep attacking the Eye of Despair despite the Echo Temple’s broadcast.
• Qin Feng’s generalized judgment transported disobedient players and demons from more than a hundred Blueprint Worlds to the White Jade Maze, and their number exceeded three million.
• Osilio revealed that the White Jade Maze was Shadow’s territory, leaving the gathered players and demons afraid of what would happen to them.
• Qin Feng used the omniscient high minor authority to review the captives’ memories and distinguish deliberate disobedience from extenuating circumstances.
• Qin Feng froze the people who had deliberately disobeyed and had stains in their pasts, advancing his extreme cold grand authority to phase two.

Qin Feng unlocked the Phase Two effect of the Extreme Cold Grand Authority, which returned much of its divinity cost as lifespan, and asked the Omniscient High Minor Authority to simulate using that recovery method to reduce Soul Craft’s consumption. Meanwhile, Nameless Snow saw the shared authority’s base divinity limit soar past 120,000 and suspected Dark Shadow had anticipated and frozen those who disobeyed his order.

• Qin Feng discovered that the Extreme Cold Grand Authority’s Phase Two could recover extracted heat as lifespan energy and grant him a hundredfold increase in control influence.
• Qin Feng asked the Omniscient High Minor Authority to simulate adapting the recovery effect to Soul Craft and reduce its base divinity limit cost.
• Nameless Snow noticed that the shared Extreme Cold Grand Authority’s base divinity limit had jumped from over 30,000 to 120,000.
• Nameless Snow connected the increase to Dark Shadow’s order about turning Mythic Tier and higher bosses into Undead Retainers and suspected he had frozen those who disobeyed.

Qin Feng used the players arriving in his Judgment Grounds to advance his happiness grand authority to phase two, gaining the ability to make enemies Joyless Ones and reroll demon drops. Just as he considered the new possibilities for Primordial boss loot, a message about a Primordial boss arrived from the Eleventh Heaven.

• Qin Feng screened players entering the Judgment Grounds, erasing the memories of those he judged redeemable and sending them back.
• Qin Feng used his happiness grand authority to flood the minds of defiant players with happy emotions and absorb their happiness.
• Qin Feng raised the players’ happiness to the limit, advancing the happiness grand authority past 100,000 and into phase two.
• Qin Feng learned that phase two could make enemies Joyless Ones, while Source of Happiness gained the ability to reroll demon drops up to three times.
• Qin Feng received a message from the Eleventh Heaven about a Primordial boss.

News that a player named Tasting Delicacies had killed an Abyss Temple powerhouse while pursuing a Primordial boss in the Eleventh Heaven drew the Highest Heaven’s top factions into a race for the boss. Qin Feng began monitoring the Eleventh Heaven and planned to improve the secret-peering grand authority, while leaving the Primordial boss’s fate unresolved.

• An Abyss Temple player revealed that Tasting Delicacies had killed him with Void Claw while attempting to defeat a Primordial boss in the Eleventh Heaven.
• The report spread across the Highest Heaven, prompting Grand Authority Successors, temples, and their forces to mobilize for a chance at the boss’s loot.
• Qin Feng learned that powerful temple players could resurrect through stored bodies and special services, then considered revealing his authority-successor identity to gain influence.
• Qin Feng set up hundreds of Sentry Eyes to observe the Eleventh Heaven and planned to use the happiness grand authority to refresh the Primordial boss’s drops.
• Qin Feng returned to the Judgment Grounds, saw over a million players laughing in the White Jade Maze, and decided to improve the secret-peering grand authority.

Qin Feng pushed the Secret-Peering Grand Authority to Phase Two by probing the secrets of players and Demons brought into the Judgment Grounds. He studied its expanded definition of secrets while, in the Eleventh Heaven, the Emberfire Grand Authority Successor finally left the Temple to act against a Primordial boss.

• Qin Feng sent a million players affected by the Happiness Grand Authority to Osilio in the Dark Space and continued probing the secrets of those brought to the Judgment Grounds.
• As fewer players arrived and Demons continued to appear, Qin Feng reached a stacked base divinity limit of 100,000 for the Secret-Peering Grand Authority, triggering its Phase Two transformation.
• Qin Feng discovered that the authority now counted information someone did not want him to know as a secret, while its original definition expanded to include information known by no more than seven others.
• Qin Feng questioned how the authority defined valuable information and planned to study Blue Star's players to understand its rules.
• The level 1175 Emberfire Grand Authority Successor left the Temple in the Eleventh Heaven after a Primordial boss appeared there.

Qin Feng received Death Smile’s offer to cooperate against a Primordial boss and arranged to exchange information through Light Sphere Heng Nian rather than reveal himself. He then tested the Secret-Peering Grand Authority, refined his understanding of valuable information, and explored its new Phase Two abilities.

• Death Smile offered Qin Feng information and cooperation, including intelligence from the Shackles Grand Authority Successor, who had joined the failed attempt to kill the Thunder Grand Authority Successor.
• Qin Feng noted the Evil Alliance’s Deception Grand Authority Successor was in the Eleventh Heaven and suspected Death Smile was sounding him out, so he arranged for an ally to communicate through Light Sphere Heng Nian.
• Qin Feng tested the Secret-Peering Grand Authority against information from a million Blue Star residents and found that valuable information had to change a living being’s state once made public.
• Qin Feng concluded the omniscient core had not lied but could omit special details, and he realized information’s value depended on his ability to predict and influence events.
• Qin Feng discovered that Phase Two let him peer into a target’s personal connections and reveal some secrets even when he lacked enough divinity for a full reading.

Qin Feng investigated a hunt for a Primordial boss and learned that the mysterious pursuer might possess the long-missing Growth Grand Authority. He decided to head to the Eleventh Heaven disguised as Mao Die, but first planned to arrange things for his newly converted Undead Retainers.

• Qin Feng observed the Eleventh Heaven for three days as a powerful figure pursued the Primordial boss, while at least a dozen Grand Authority Successors joined the hunt.
• Qin Feng acquired several high minor authorities and raised his four-dimensional attributes from Tier 22 to Tier 23.
• Death Smile told Qin Feng that the Deception Grand Authority Successor had been killed in a one-sided fight with the Primordial boss's pursuer.
• The Deception Grand Authority Successor claimed the pursuer had the Growth Grand Authority and at least two other grand authorities, though Qin Feng questioned the account's accuracy.
• Qin Feng decided to enter the Eleventh Heaven as Mao Die, the Last Words Grand Authority Successor, and planned to arrange matters for his millions of Undead Retainers first.

Qin Feng’s Blue Star Authorities rewarded players who helped maintain order, while he converted 3.64 million Mythic-Tier bosses into Undead Retainers. The new retainers gained borrowed lifespan and powerful attribute boosts, but had to follow rules that sent them to hunt monsters beyond their home worlds.

• Players across the Blue Star System formed Order Maintenance Squads to earn Blue Star Contribution and possible rewards, including guidance from Shadow.
• Qin Feng’s Generalized Judgment swiftly removed those who disobeyed his orders, leaving the squads with only their guaranteed contribution rewards.
• Qin Feng activated his Undead Grand Authority and converted 3.64 million willing Mythic-Tier bosses into Undead Retainers.
• The converted bosses discovered they could borrow lifespan to raise their tiers and had received tenfold increases to their Four-Dimensional Attributes.
• Qin Feng issued the Undead Legion Pact, barring the retainers from attacking players and requiring them to hunt monsters outside their home regions and Blueprint Worlds.

Qin Feng organized the 3.64 million Demon bosses he had converted into Undead Retainers into the Undead Legion, then prepared to enter the Eleventh Heaven of the Highest Heaven. He planned to pursue a Primordial boss, seek chances to kill Grand Authority Successors, and give Qin Xiaoyou an opportunity to raise her evil value before visiting the Last Words Temple in disguise.

• Qin Feng learned that many Demon bosses regretted not becoming Undead Retainers after discovering they could keep their bodies, and he offered clan members a chance to join if their relatives ranked among the Undead Legion’s top contributors.
• Qin Feng put the Undead Retainers in the Undead Legion, appointed Brother Beidou as commander, and assigned several Undead Temple Masters, including Wuguang, as deputies.
• The Undead Temple Masters were astonished by the Legion’s strength, which included over a thousand Old-Day Tier bosses, more than ten thousand Immortal Tier bosses, and hundreds of thousands of Ancient Grade bosses.
• Qin Feng decided to seek a suitable target in the Eleventh Heaven for Qin Xiaoyou to act against, while continuing to develop the second phase of the extreme cold grand authority to reduce Soul Craft’s cost.
• Qin Feng disguised himself as Three Thousand Immortal Sounds and headed to the Last Words Temple.

Qin Feng appeared at the Last Words Temple disguised as Three Thousand Immortal Sounds, then transformed into Mao Die to convince the temple’s members that the two identities were one and the same. After making changes through the Last Words Grand Authority, he teleported away without meeting the leadership, leaving Highest Heaven in an uproar over his appearance.

• Qin Feng arrived at the Last Words Temple’s core Head Temple, where guards recognized the Deer-Horned Girl as Three Thousand Immortal Sounds.
• Qin Feng transformed into the round-headed orange cat Mao Die, leading the guards to believe Mao Die and Three Thousand Immortal Sounds were the same person.
• Qin Feng entered the Head Temple and used the Last Words Grand Authority to make changes intended to direct the temple members’ Worship toward him.
• Qin Feng avoided meeting the temple’s leaders because the two Primordial beings could see through his disguise, and he teleported to the Eleventh Heaven.
• News of Three Thousand Immortal Sounds’ appearance and her ability to transform into Mao Die spread through the Last Words Temple and shocked powerful figures across Highest Heaven.

Qin Feng’s identity as Three Thousand Immortal Sounds became public, and her power to expose the Thunder Grand Authority Successor’s coordinates alarmed the Highest Heaven. In the Eleventh Heaven, Qin Feng searched the Ant Star Domain and discovered the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s Traces of Death.

• The Last Words Temple’s bulletin board began displaying the Thunder Grand Authority Successor’s real-time coordinates, which Qin Feng had linked to the Secret-Peering Grounds.
• Powerhouses across the Highest Heaven concluded that Mao Die was Three Thousand Immortal Sounds and feared attacking her because the Last Words Grand Authority could punish anyone who killed its Successor.
• Three Thousand Immortal Sounds appeared in the Eleventh Heaven, prompting other contenders for the Primordial boss to debate whether to oppose her.
• Death Smile realized Qin Feng had sent a subordinate with the Last Words Grand Authority and concluded that she could not reproduce its coordinate-exposing effect with her own divinity.
• Qin Feng arrived in the Ant Star Domain and discovered the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s Traces of Death.

Qin Feng examined the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s death and relived his final fight while pursuing the Primordial boss. He discovered that an opponent with the Growth Grand Authority killed the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor with a slash so fast that its damage arrived before its visual effect.

• Qin Feng traveled to the place where the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor had died and concealed himself before examining the death traces.
• Qin Feng viewed the final minute and a half of the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s memories and saw him fighting alongside a Hell Phoenix.
• The Emberfire Heavenly Emperor pursued a figure near the Primordial boss and attacked with a vast sea of fire, but his flames dealt little damage.
• The figure’s white blade light cut the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor in half and emptied his health bar before he could see the slash.

Qin Feng investigated the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s death and concluded that the mysterious killer wielded the Growth Grand Authority and a Deception high minor authority. As he raced toward the Primordial boss, he found what appeared to be the Deception Grand Authority Successor’s traces of death, offering a chance to inspect their abilities directly.

• Qin Feng reviewed the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s memories and learned that a physical-damage-focused opponent had killed him with a prepared slash.
• Qin Feng inferred that the killer possessed the Growth Grand Authority and a Deception high minor authority, while doubting the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor’s sincerity about joining forces.
• Qin Feng followed Sentry Eyes’ report of the Primordial boss’s movements and used Dance of Dark Shadow to travel across star domains.
• Qin Feng examined recent traces of death along his route and realized that Deception abilities could make their reports unreliable.
• Qin Feng discovered a large trace of death that appeared to belong to the Deception Grand Authority Successor and prepared to inspect their attributes and equipment.

Qin Feng examined the dying memories of the Deception Grand Authority Successor and discovered that the man’s true codename was also Dark Shadow, along with his powers and eighteen unconditional resurrections. The memories showed the successor ambushing the Growth Grand Authority Successor, whose wounds healed as quickly as they decayed.

• Qin Feng used the Deception Grand Authority Successor’s death traces to view the two minutes before his death.
• Qin Feng learned that the successor’s true codename translated exactly to Dark Shadow, despite the man having concealed it from others.
• Qin Feng examined the successor’s attributes and found that he possessed deception, decay, and alchemy grand authorities, plus over 700 billion innate divinity.
• Qin Feng discovered that the successor had eighteen unconditional resurrections and wondered whether alchemy could have produced them or whether he had been deceived.
• Qin Feng watched the successor attack the Growth Grand Authority Successor with decay-infused throwing knives, but the victim’s wounds rapidly recovered.

Qin Feng studied Deceptive Dark Shadow’s death memories, learned more about the Growth Grand Authority Successor, and continued pursuing the Primordial boss. He encountered a vast region sealed by the Lockdown Grand Authority and hid before its powerful user could discover him.

• Qin Feng watched Deceptive Dark Shadow fight the Growth Grand Authority Successor, who repeatedly regenerated before killing him with swift white slashes.
• Qin Feng concluded that the woman with the Growth Grand Authority also possessed another authority that greatly boosted her stats, and he planned to catch up and use Secret-Peering on her.
• Qin Feng continued chasing the Primordial boss across the Eleventh Heaven, using Dance of Dark Shadow to cross enormous distances.
• Qin Feng encountered a spherical void spanning dozens of light-years that blocked his Shadow Perception, body, and skills, and he recognized it as a lockdown created by the Lockdown Grand Authority.
• Qin Feng retreated hundreds of light-years and hid to avoid being trapped by the powerful Grand Authority Successor who had sealed the region.
• At the Emberfire Temple, the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor continued living in seclusion after his death, unaware that his daughter Yu Yan Jinhuo had become Qin Feng’s die-hard fan.

The Emberfire Heavenly Emperor, shaken by Dark Shadow’s growing power and the loss of his last unconditional resurrection, questioned Yu Yan Jinhuo about Dark Shadow’s character and considered pledging allegiance to him. He decided to seek cooperation while weighing the threat posed by the Primordial boss and the rival Void.

• The Emberfire Heavenly Emperor learned that Dark Shadow might possess several grand authorities and had already lost his last unconditional resurrection while scouting the Primordial boss.
• After hearing that the last words grand authority’s Successor had reached the Eleventh Heaven, the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor summoned Yu Yan Jinhuo to ask about Dark Shadow and his opponents.
• Yu Yan Jinhuo said Dark Shadow was cautious and supported his subordinates, citing Three Thousand Immortal Sounds’s rapid rise from level 100 to over level 400.
• The Emberfire Heavenly Emperor noted that Dark Shadow had let Red Matt, Broken-Winged Angel, and other allies retain their grand authorities, and wondered whether he could keep his own if he surrendered.
• The Emberfire Heavenly Emperor considered joining Dark Shadow, citing his control over the six lower heavens and uncertainty about what Void was planning.

Qin Feng investigated the sealed void containing a Primordial boss and discovered that his thoughts about whether to intervene were being altered by an unknown influence. He suspected the cognition grand authority was changing people's perception of the boss's importance, despite giving him no divinity influence warning.

• Qin Feng received Yu Yan Jinhuo's message that the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor was ready to surrender, but decided to deal with the Primordial boss before claiming the emberfire grand authority.
• Qin Feng learned that the sealing and blood source grand authorities belonged to the Night Clan Queen, who was allied with Night Shadow Gabriel through the Demon Slayer Alliance.
• Qin Feng considered using a Balance Judgment Book to enter the sealed void, then decided to leave and deal with the Emberfire Heavenly Emperor instead.
• Qin Feng realized that his thought dismissing the Primordial boss's importance was not his own, and returned near the sealed void to investigate.
• Qin Feng suspected the cognition grand authority was silently changing perceptions of the Primordial boss, despite triggering no divinity influence check.

Qin Feng investigated the cognition grand authority’s subtle influence on people’s perception of a Primordial boss and deduced how it worked. He then detected the Deception Grand Authority Successor, another person called “Dark Shadow,” and prepared to investigate him.

• Qin Feng tested the cognition grand authority’s effect on five Soul Projections and confirmed it made them underestimate the importance of competing for a Primordial boss.
• Qin Feng found that the projections remained affected after leaving the area, while his own cognition recovered because of his illusory great authority’s resistance.
• Qin Feng used the omniscient high minor authority to deduce that the cognition grand authority altered cognition without system notifications and had both soft and hard effects.
• Qin Feng detected the Deception Grand Authority Successor entering his Shadow Perception’s range and decided to investigate his secrets.
