Chapter Summaries

Elder Yu auctioned 186 treasures at once through a one-chance written bidding system, and Xu Zimo set his sights on the Masses' Ease for Overlord Shadow's transformation. After learning he lacked the required contribution points, Xu Zimo said he would simply seize the treasure from whoever won it.

• Xu Zimo concluded that the God Clan’s influence over the Kunxu Domain was so deep that challenging it would mean opposing most of the people there.
