Chapter Summaries

After several thousand years of secluded cultivation, Roger’s Jade Disc awakened his aptitude for earth and fire, and he advanced to the Asura level in the Death Edict, wind, and water. He reunited with Mia and Shelly, learned about their progress, and resumed their intimate life.

• Roger and Mia and Shelly returned to Bloodstone Castle and began a long period of secluded cultivation.
• The Jade Disc transformed Roger’s comprehension, granting him aptitude for earth and fire while continuing to absorb his power.
• Roger reached the Seven-Star Demon level in the Death Edict, wind, and water, refined a Soul Leech, and upgraded Mia and Shelly’s Soul Seeds.
• Three thousand years later, Roger reached the Asura level in the Death Edict, wind, and water, while his earth and fire cultivation reached the Seven-Star Demon level.
• After emerging from seclusion, Roger reunited with Mia and Shelly and heard that Mia had reached the Five-Star Fiend level while Shelly remained an ordinary Highgod.

After waiting thousands of years for the teleportation array, Roger learned that powerful beings were becoming more common and Netherlo City had grown into a major force. He crafted ten Soul Defense Divine Artifacts called Netherlo Rings and gave some to Mia and Shelly, leaving them with stronger protection.

• Shelly and Mia told Roger that unfamiliar Highgods had appeared more often, while his Water Clone had overseen Netherlo City’s growth to tens of millions of residents and over a million Lowgods.
• Roger asked Mia for the heavenly soul crystals she had gathered so he could craft Soul Defense Divine Artifacts for himself and his companions.
• Roger used his soul insights to craft ten artifacts, then named them Netherlo Rings and added one to his own soul defense.
• Roger called Mia and Shelly to his chamber and handed them Netherlo Rings, which Mia recognized as Soul Defense Divine Artifacts.

Roger extracted soul fragments containing peak law comprehension from Sanctuary beings and prepared to help Allen advance to Highgod. The chapter ended with Allen eager to use the fragments, while Mia and Shelly received fragments for their own cultivation.

• Roger helped Mia and Shelly bind their Netherlo Rings, then asked them to find Sanctuary beings with peak comprehension of laws or edicts.
• Roger summoned Allen from Netherlo City and asked him to bring subordinates to the Undead Sacred Mountain for a promised reward.
• Over several decades, Roger extracted and assembled soul fragments containing limit-level comprehension across the elemental laws and edicts.
• Roger explained that Allen could merge three earth-law fragments to bring his comprehension to the limit and advance to Highgod through independent cultivation.
• Roger helped Allen prepare to bind a Netherlo Ring and gave Mia and Shelly soul fragments to study.

Roger discovered that Bell, a Highgod soul mutant, was hiding in the Snowwind Mountains and confronted him. After piercing Bell’s soul defense, Roger enslaved him with a Soul Leech.

• Allen bound the Netherlo Ring, received soul fragments, and began cultivating to reach Highgod strength.
• Several hundred years passed as Allen mastered two profound mysteries, while Mia and Shelly continued deepening their edict insights.
• Mia reported a suspicious Highgod with both light and earth divine power hiding in the Snowwind Mountains, and Roger suspected he was Bell.
• Roger and Mia found Bell outside his cave, where Roger attacked with the Soul Annihilation Blade.
• Roger pierced Bell’s soul defense and enslaved him by forming a Soul Leech inside his soul.

After enslaving Bell, Roger studied his mutated soul but could not yet understand its structure. As Netherlo City grew and powerful individuals gathered near Undead Sacred Mountain, Roger captured and researched divine beasts while preparing for the arrival of teleportation arrays and Sovereign Sparks.

• Roger made Bell his third Soul Slave and spent half a month examining Bell's mutated soul, but found its structure too complex to replicate or study further.
• Over several thousand years, Roger dissected Sanctuary Souls while Netherlo City expanded, and Allen broke through to the Highgod level.
• Mia, Shelly, and Bell patrolled near Undead Sacred Mountain, confronting intruders and bringing Godheads back to strengthen Netherlo City's forces.
• Roger learned that powerful individuals were emerging across the realms and expected teleportation arrays and Sovereign Sparks to appear, so he began secluding himself more often.
• Bell reported a Highgod divine beast with a suction-based ability; Roger sent him and Mia to capture it, but Mia failed to enslave the Bashé and killed it.
• Roger took the Bashé's Godhead for Mia to distribute and brought its corpse to his laboratory to extract its blood essence for research.

Roger continued researching divine beast essence blood and the replication of innate abilities, while his clones advanced in cultivation. After fifty thousand years, the Jade Disc transformed again, greatly improving Roger’s comprehension and bringing the Paragon level within reach.

• Roger extracted 180 drops of essence blood from a Bashé and continued studying soul fragments and divine beast abilities.
• Roger’s attempts to transplant divine beast essence blood failed because ordinary Netherworld humans and his own body contained mixed bloodlines.
• Over tens of thousands of years, Roger’s death clone reached the Asura-level bottleneck, while his earth, fire, water, and wind clones also advanced to the Asura level.
• After fifty thousand years, the Jade Disc transformed and improved Roger’s comprehension more than ever before, though it granted him no new cultivation talent.
• Roger’s death clone swallowed a Soul Gold Bead but could not absorb its soul essence, then realized the Paragon level was within reach.

After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, Roger fully comprehended the Death Edict and became a Paragon, gaining Willpower and greatly strengthening his soul. He then perfected his ultimate techniques and created Tracking Marks that let him see through the eyes of Mia, Shelly, Bell, and his patrol members from afar.

• Roger seized the final insight into the Death Edict, and the Laws of Heaven and Earth transformed his soul and Godhead as he became a Paragon.
• Roger tested his new Willpower by shattering and restoring the Netherworld's space, then absorbed Soul Gold Beads until his soul reached saturation and his perception spanned a thousand li.
• Roger told Mia and Shelly that he had reached the Paragon level after they came to congratulate him.
• Roger perfected his ultimate techniques and created the Tracking Mark, then secretly imprinted marks in Mia, Shelly, Bell, and several subordinates.
• After the patrol moved beyond soul communication range, Roger activated the Tracking Marks and saw everything they could see.

Roger traveled to Nether Mountain disguised as an ordinary Midgod, hoping to find Lilith and prepare to reach Hell. While he examined the mountain, Teleportation Arrays appeared at the summit of the Undead Sacred Mountain.

• Roger recalled Mia and the other two, ordered them to guard Bloodstone Castle, and left his wind clone behind before setting out for Nether Mountain.
• Roger flew for two years, placing Tracking Marks on two unusual divine beasts along the way.
• Roger disguised his aura and reached the foot of Nether Mountain, where he saw the mountain’s colored mists and lightning chains block access until the full moon.
• Roger began circling the mountain, and a vast fluctuation spread across the Netherworld.
• Roger’s wind clone rushed out of Bloodstone Castle and saw three Teleportation Arrays materialize at the summit of the Undead Sacred Mountain.

Roger and Mia traveled through the newly formed Teleportation Arrays to the Infernal Realm and searched for the Skyrite Mountains. After reaching the mountains, they learned the Four Divine Beasts were still Midgods, and Roger decided to watch them while considering whether his death clone could enslave them.

• Roger examined the three Teleportation Arrays, then took Mia through the array leading to the Infernal Realm and ordered Shelly and Bell to guard the others.
• Roger and Mia repeatedly teleported between the Infernal Realm and the Celestial Realm, using Mia's Soul Search to find the Blood Peak Continent and learn the route to the Skyrite Mountains.
• Roger and Mia flew for three years before reaching the Skyrite Mountains, where Mia used Soul Search to gather information from the local Deities.
• Mia learned from a concealed dark Midgod that the Four Divine Beasts lived in the mountains' depths and were still Midgods, though their innate abilities could kill ordinary Highgods.
• Roger decided his death clone could try to enslave the Four Divine Beasts, and he and Mia settled on the mountains' outskirts to monitor them.

Roger discovered Lilith and Inawei at a lake on Nether Mountain, but decided not to risk trying to enslave Lilith. On the full moon, he entered Nether Mountain, suspected its power came from the Heart of the Netherworld, and found nothing after searching the White Mist Zone for three days.

• Roger found Lilith fishing beside a lake with Inawei and secretly placed Tracking Marks on both women before leaving.
• Roger weighed enslaving Lilith against the risks and chose to focus on the Four Divine Beasts instead.
• When the full moon rose and the mountain mist thinned, Roger entered Nether Mountain and found his divine sense severely suppressed.
• Roger suspected the Heart of the Netherworld caused the suppression and searched the White Mist Zone in a spiral pattern.
• After three days of searching, Roger found nothing in the White Mist Zone.
