Chapter Summaries

Shiheng faced the newly unified Earth and Life Clones, whose beyond-limit power equaled two Highgod Paragons, after he destroyed her array and freed the Azure Dragon descendants. She prepared to kill him, and Shiheng stood his ground as their battle began.

• The Earth and Life Clones merged, revealing a Sovereign Artifact body and 160 percent Willpower Might.
• The woman in white blamed Shiheng for breaking her array and releasing her ancient enemies, the surviving Azure Dragon descendants.
• Shiheng admitted that he had destroyed the array and assessed that his opponent matched two Highgod Paragons.
• The woman in white gathered the Earth and Life Essences and vowed to kill Shiheng for ruining her plans.
• Shiheng ignited his four-element Divine Power, raised his fused blade, and challenged her to attack.

Shiheng revealed that his own will and the Other Shore Flower blade spirit’s will together reached the Paragon level, allowing him to resist the woman in white’s overwhelming pressure. The two unleashed their first full clash, leaving Shiheng’s upward blade strike meeting her assault.

• The woman in white claimed her merged avatars and Sovereign Artifact body gave her power beyond two Paragons, then used her Earth and Life Laws and transcendent will to suppress Shiheng.
• Shiheng stood firm and unsealed the Other Shore Flower God Blade, combining its Paragon-level will with his own to match the woman’s willpower might.
• Shiheng fused the Four Supreme Laws and raised his blade, startling the woman in white with his ability to wield two powerful Paragon wills despite being a Highgod.
• The woman in white unleashed an attack with both avatars, while Shiheng used his blade and two Paragon wills to resist and strike upward through her laws.

Shiheng matched the Life Divine Tree’s sixteen-tenths transcendent will with his own and the Other Shore Flower God Blade’s superimposed perfected wills, despite suffering severe bodily injuries. The Life Divine Tree launched a stronger, all-out attack, and Shiheng met it head-on, determined to see which of them would break first.

• Shiheng’s blade and the Life Divine Tree’s attack collided, and their clashing Paragon-level wills devastated the ruined Life Secret Realm.
• The Life Divine Tree was shocked that Shiheng, despite being a Highgod, could withstand her sixteen-tenths will without yielding.
• Shiheng realized that his own perfected will and the blade spirit’s will together surpassed the combined measure of two orthodox Paragons, though the clash grievously injured his body.
• The Life Divine Tree recognized Shiheng as a genuine threat but argued that his weaker body and foundations would fail in a prolonged battle.
• The Life Divine Tree drained the Secret Realm’s earth and life essence, sealed Shiheng’s avenues of escape, and unleashed an attack thirty percent stronger than her first strike.
• Shiheng joined his will with the blade spirit’s and raised his blade to meet the Life Divine Tree’s all-out attack.

Shiheng and the Life Divine Tree fought for a month, destroying the Life Secret Realm before continuing their battle in the Life God Realm. The Lingmeng Overgod arrived and offered them positions as Overgod Envoys, but both proudly refused.

• Shiheng and the Life Divine Tree fought evenly for thirty days and nights, until their final collision destroyed the Life Secret Realm and hurled them into the Life God Realm.
• Shiheng and the Life Divine Tree resumed their battle in the Life God Realm, and its collateral damage wiped out nearby tribes.
• The Lingmeng Overgod awoke, sensed the two combatants, and descended to the battlefield.
• The Lingmeng Overgod offered Shiheng and the Life Divine Tree Sovereign's Might and Sovereign Artifacts if they joined the Divine Court as Overgod Envoys.
• Shiheng and the Life Divine Tree both refused the Lingmeng Overgod's offer, freezing the Overgod's smile.

Shiheng and the white-robed Divine Tree Clone rejected the Lingmeng Overgod’s recruitment, believing his status would keep him from retaliating against two Ultra-Paragons. The humiliated, declining Overgod concealed his fury and secretly decided to cripple them rather than let them remain free.

• The Lingmeng Overgod faced public rejection from Shiheng and the beauty in white, who refused to serve as his emissaries.
• Shiheng and the white-robed Divine Tree Clone relied on the customary restraint between Overgods and Paragons to protect them from retaliation.
• The Lingmeng Overgod’s weakening faith and standing among his peers fueled his obsession with recruiting the two Ultra-Paragons.
• The Lingmeng Overgod hid his anger beneath a calm appearance and decided to suppress and cripple Shiheng and the Divine Tree Clone.
• Shiheng mistook the Overgod’s restraint for acceptance and did not realize a scheme against them had begun.

The Lingmeng Overgod used Kailin’s attachment to Shiheng to pressure them into submission, then attacked all three when Kailin refused to serve as his maidservant. He left for an urgent Overgod council, believing his palm strike would kill them.

• The Lingmeng Overgod discovered Kailin’s concern for Shiheng and offered her a place as his personal maidservant to gain leverage over them.
• Kailin refused, saying her heart belonged to someone and she wished only to follow him.
• Shiheng recognized the Overgod’s trap and prepared to submit to protect Kailin, but an urgent summons called the Lingmeng Overgod to a council of Lower Sovereigns.
• The Lingmeng Overgod attacked Shiheng, the white-robed Life Divine Tree clone, and Kailin with a palm strike that sealed off their escape.
• The Lingmeng Overgod departed for the Hell Demon Race’s God Domain, leaving the deadly palm imprint to crash down on the three.

Shiheng, the Life Divine Tree’s two clones, and Kailin endured Sovereign Lingmeng’s descending palm for a year, their defenses and life force nearly spent. As the Earth Clone warned that Sovereign soul erosion would soon kill them even if the palm did not land, the pressure surged and their barrier began to break.

• The Life Divine Tree’s Earth Clone, Shiheng, and Life Clone formed a defensive line against Sovereign Lingmeng’s palm while Shiheng shielded Kailin at the rear.
• For a year, the four endured the palm’s crushing force and soul erosion as their bodies, essence, and defenses deteriorated.
• The Earth Clone berated Shiheng for holding back and explained that Sovereign erosion would annihilate their souls and leave them dead beyond recovery.
• The Sovereign might suddenly surged, the palm sank another inch, and cracks spread across the group’s failing barrier.

Shiheng and the others reached the brink of collapse after enduring an Overgod’s palm for more than a year, and Shiheng’s hidden effort to protect Kailin was revealed. As the defensive formation began to fail, Kailin resolved to sacrifice herself and Shiheng feared he would never return to his family; the chapter ended with the palm descending and their escape seemingly impossible.

• Shiheng had secretly spent a full portion of his Paragon Willpower Might protecting Kailin while also holding the left side of the formation, despite the Earth Divine Tree Clone accusing him of slacking.
• After another month of fighting, the Other Shore Flower God Blade and the Four Blades as One barrier neared destruction, while Kailin’s body and Divine Soul were almost spent.
• Kailin resolved to sacrifice herself to create a chance for Shiheng to survive as her Divine Soul neared annihilation.
• Shiheng reflected on his life, his family, and his promise to return home in five hundred years, and despaired that he could no longer protect them.
• The Life Divine Tree Clone regretted delaying her revenge against the Divine Beasts’ ancestors as she and the other defenders exhausted their strength.
• The Heaven-Shrouding Black Palm descended another inch, cracked the Defensive Barrier, and sealed off any apparent route of escape.

As the four defenders neared death beneath the Lower Sovereign's palm, the Other Shore Flower God Blade proposed that the Life Divine Tree sacrifice her life essence to empower their weapons. Shiheng refused her demand to destroy the Four Divine Beasts Clan, revealed that its future protagonist would be impossible to kill, and attained a breakthrough in the Fate Laws even as the rear defense teetered on collapse.

• The Other Shore Flower God Blade's artifact spirit urged the Life Divine Tree to use a forbidden soul sacrifice to empower the Four War Blades and create a chance to break through the Lower Sovereign's attack.
• The Life Divine Tree agreed to sacrifice herself if Shiheng promised to destroy the Four Divine Beasts Clan, but Shiheng refused and warned that its future protagonist would surpass even High-level Sovereigns.
• Shiheng offered instead to make the clan members kneel and apologize to the Life Divine Tree, who fell silent as she weighed her blood feud against their desperate circumstances.
• Shiheng realized how the original story's events had shaped the Life Divine Tree's fate, and his insight into the world's predetermined outcomes triggered an epiphany in the Fate Laws.
• Shiheng's Fate Laws reached perfection and his Fate Clone surged in power, while the rear defensive line remained on the verge of collapse.

Kailin sacrificed herself to pass on the Supreme Elves Bloodline and help the Life Divine Tree ascend to the Life Law Paragon realm, while Shiheng witnessed her death during his Fate Laws epiphany. The Life Divine Blade was transformed, and Shiheng was left overwhelmed with regret as his enlightenment faltered.

• Kailin used her final strength to complete the Supreme Elves Bloodline inheritance, creating a cocoon that Kaiser received as her Divine Soul began to vanish.
• Kailin sacrificed the rest of her Divine Soul into the Life Divine Blade, and her loss caused the defensive barrier to collapse as the Overgod's palm accelerated toward the group.
• The Life Divine Tree Clone sacrificed her essence into the blade, combining it with Kailin's power and ascending to the Perfect Life Law Paragon realm.
• The Life Divine Tree separated and protected Kailin's remnant soul within the blade, then transformed the Life Divine Blade with her Paragon power.
• Shiheng witnessed Kailin's sacrifice, and his Dao Heart shook as regret over her unreturned love disrupted his Fate Laws epiphany.

Shiheng fused the power of the Four Supreme Laws and all four divine blades to challenge Lingmeng Overgod, but his attack failed to stop the Overgod’s descending palm. As the Earth Clone and Life Divine Tree resigned themselves to annihilation, Shiheng’s Fate Clone continued his enlightenment within his ruined body.

• The Life Divine Tree and Kailin’s sacrifices transformed the Life Divine Blade, which gained 1.8 portions of willpower might, while the Other Shore Flower God Blade held one portion.
• Shiheng’s original body absorbed the Life, Destruction, and Death Clones’ strength, then combined his four divine blades into one ultimate weapon.
• Shiheng expanded into a hundred-thousand-foot manifestation and charged at Lingmeng Overgod’s giant palm with his fused blade.
• Lingmeng Overgod’s authority shattered Shiheng’s manifestation and sent his ruined body crashing into a vast pit, though Shiheng’s strike destroyed nearly half the palm’s destructive might and slowed its descent.
• The Earth Clone gave up resisting, and the Life Divine Tree’s soul lamented that heaven wanted them all dead.
• At the bottom of the pit, Shiheng’s Fate Clone continued pursuing the mysteries of fate, untouched by the defeat and despair outside.

As Lingmeng Overgod’s palm descended to erase the world, Shiheng completed a breakthrough that raised all four of his supreme-law elements to Highgod and restored his ruined body. He received three additional portions of willpower might, leaving the Earth Clone and the Life Divine Tree stunned as the world’s last hope emerged.

• Lingmeng Overgod’s crushing palm sealed the million-mile region, while the exhausted Earth Clone and her allies accepted that they could not escape annihilation.
• Deep beneath the ruined earth, Shiheng remained protected by his Divine Soul Barrier and spent two days and nights comprehending the Fate Laws.
• Shiheng broke through to Fate Highgod, completing the Highgod ascension of his Life, Death, Destruction, and Fate clones.
• Shiheng’s four supreme laws fused in balance, rebuilding his wounded body into one comparable to a Sovereign Artifact divine body.
• The universe’s origin rewarded Shiheng’s breakthrough with three complete portions of willpower might, restoring his reserves and bringing his total to more than seven portions.
• A terrifying pressure of rules erupted from beneath the pit, and the Earth Clone and the Life Divine Tree realized that Shiheng had transformed at the moment of their impending destruction.

Shiheng broke through to the Highgod level in the Fate Laws and shattered Lingmeng Overgod’s year-long palm suppression, though he knew he still could not face an Overgod directly. In Hell, the Overgods discussed the Human Emperor and dismissed Shiheng as dead, while Shiheng vowed to one day reach the higher planes and make Lingmeng regret overlooking him.

• After two days and nights of desperate comprehension beneath the ruins, Shiheng advanced his Fate Laws to the Highgod level, completed the Four Supreme Laws, and gained seven portions of Willpower Might and an Overgod-level body.
• Shiheng unleashed the Four Supreme Laws and all his Willpower Might, breaking Lingmeng Overgod’s palm strike and ending the year-long suppression.
• The Earth Clone and the Life Divine Tree’s soul were stunned that Shiheng had destroyed the divine pressure they had resisted for a year.
• In the Sovereign Palace of Hell, the Demon Race Overgod explained that the Human Emperor’s gathering of human faith had slowed the Overgods’ cultivation, and the Overgods ordered their followers to kill or imprison him when he left his Material Plane.
• Lingmeng Overgod claimed his palm had already annihilated the human Paragon, unaware that Shiheng had survived and broken the strike.
• Shiheng recognized the vast gulf between himself and an Overgod, then vowed to reach the planes across the heavens and make Lingmeng regret dismissing him.

After Shiheng broke Lingmeng Overgod’s strike, he grieved Kailin’s sacrifice and learned that she had left behind a cocoon preserving her Supreme Elves Bloodline. Kaiser entrusted the cocoon to Shiheng, who vowed to protect it and the world Kailin cherished.

• Shiheng emerged from the battlefield with the wounded Life Divine Tree Clone after the Overgod’s pressure vanished, while Kailin’s bloodline spirit cocoon remained nearby.
• Oakes and the rescued Azure Dragon clansmen thanked Shiheng for saving them, and Kaiser explained that Kailin had sealed her bloodline and lingering resolve in the cocoon.
• Shiheng vowed to protect Kailin’s cocoon and take responsibility for the Elves Race’s safety, while Kaiser told him Kailin had sacrificed herself willingly and did not blame him.
• Oakes led the Azure Dragon clansmen toward the Skyrite Mountains after Shiheng declined their offer to remain and help him.
• Shiheng asked Kaiser for the cocoon and promised to protect Kailin’s bloodline; Kaiser placed it in his hands and entrusted her to him.

After promising to protect Kailin’s spirit cocoon, Shiheng prepared to take revenge on the Lingmeng Overgod Family and urged Kaiser to evacuate the Elves Race. He then chose the Demon Abyss as a possible refuge for the Human Race, despite the Destruction Paragon who lived there.

• Shiheng protected Kailin’s spirit cocoon and vowed to keep her safe, while Kaiser placed his trust in him.
• Shiheng announced that he would take revenge on the Lingmeng Overgod Family and told Kaiser to move the Elves Race somewhere safe before the Lingmeng Overgod returned.
• During three days of rest, Selos Hall and Sereya Gallen revealed their old feud’s origins, the Azure Dragon Clan apologized, and Oakes restored Sereya with Sovereign’s Might.
• Selos explained the three highest-ranked Material Planes and recounted how the Destruction Paragon escaped the Destruction Sovereign’s attack in the Demon Abyss.
• Shiheng rejected the Ancient Dragon Abyss Plane and the uncertain Eternal Night Firmament Plane, then chose the Demon Abyss as the best refuge for the Human Race.

After seven days of recovery from the Overgod calamity, Oakes, Kaiser, Selos, Shiheng, Sailiya, and the others prepared to part and follow separate paths. They shared a night of mortal liquor and private grief before their departure at dawn, with Shiheng still carrying the loss of Kailin and resolved to pursue the Lingmeng Overgod.

• Oakes and the Divine Beast clansmen planned to return to the Skyrite Mountains in Hell to protect their clan, while Kaiser resolved to lead the Elves toward the Material Plane.
• Shiheng decided to head for the Lingmeng Overgod's stronghold, and the ruined Sailiya followed him because she had nowhere else to go.
• The survivors gathered around ordinary mortal liquor, suppressing their powers and drinking in silence as they faced their worries and regrets.
• Oakes worried about his father's burden and the Azure Dragon Clan's survival, while Selos grieved that he could not protect his wife and spend time with his son.
• Sailiya mourned the loss of her Life Clone, cultivation, and home, while Shiheng regretted keeping Kailin at a distance before her final sacrifice.
• The group accepted that they would part at dawn and travel separate roads, uncertain whether they would ever meet again.

Shiheng reforged the Divine Soul Banner into the Divine Core-grade Human Emperor Banner, gaining a powerful way to strengthen his soul and body. With his path settled, he set out with Sailiya to gather the scattered Human Race and begin their journey toward the Lingmeng family and the Demon Abyss.

• Oakes and the other supreme Divine Beast powerhouses bowed to Shiheng and departed, while Kaiser also left the wilderness.
• Shiheng decided to travel through the Plane's cities, gather displaced humans and Human Race Flames, then lead the race to the Demon Abyss after visiting the Lingmeng family.
• Shiheng learned from the Other Shore Flower God Blade that his Four-System Mutated Divine Soul had grown too vast to be strengthened quickly with Soul Gold Beads, and the blade offered him its Divine Soul Banner.
• Shiheng reforged the Divine Soul Banner with the Other Shore Flower, the Life Divine Tree, Human Race faith, and ancient body-refining principles, transforming it into the Human Emperor Banner.
• The Plane's laws summoned violet-gold lightning to destroy the banner, but it absorbed the punishment and ascended from a peak Highgod artifact to a Divine Core-grade artifact.
• Shiheng stored the Human Emperor Banner in his sea of consciousness and departed aboard the Metal Lifeform chariot with Sailiya to seek out the Human Race.

Shiheng and Sailiya rested in a prosperous city of the Life God Realm after their long ordeal, then went shopping without restraint. Shiheng explained that buying treasures and diamonds let him make up for the pleasures he had denied himself in his past life, while Sailiya began to set aside her lifelong fixation on cultivation and enjoy the city with him.

• Shiheng and Sailiya rented a secluded courtyard, ate a lavish meal, and recovered from their exhaustion in the protected city.
• Shiheng bought every Divine Soul treasure in a shop to nourish Kailin and support the Human Race, while Sailiya watched with amusement.
• Shiheng bought every diamond in a nearby pavilion, prompting Sailiya to ask why he spent so freely on useless ornaments.
• Shiheng told Sailiya that his purchases fulfilled small dreams from his poor previous life and compensated for years of deprivation.
• Sailiya understood Shiheng's reasons and joined him in enjoying the city's prosperity as they continued shopping together.

Shiheng tried to soothe his grief over Kailin and make up for his impoverished mortal past by buying beautiful, impractical treasures throughout Life God City. Sailiya joined him and began to understand that following her heart could be part of cultivation, while Shiheng remained carefree on the surface but still carried his sorrow.

• Shiheng spent freely on ornamental treasures, using the spree to ease memories of poverty and his grief over Kailin’s sacrifice.
• Shiheng invited Sailiya to choose things she liked, and she reflected that cultivation need not consist only of hardship and slaughter.
• Shiheng led Sailiya into a shop and placed a spirit jade hairpin in her hair, which she accepted with gratitude.
• Shiheng continued buying out shops across the street while Sailiya quietly accompanied him and sensed the loneliness beneath his revelry.
• Shiheng paused amid the city’s splendor, having found some compensation for his past regrets while still needing time to heal from Kailin’s loss.

Shiheng attended Life God City's hundred-thousand-year God-Demon Auction and discovered that a Human princess and her elder sister had suffered nine years of captivity and abuse at the hands of the City Lord's family. As Shiheng's killing intent rose, the City Lord revealed that all ten Asura Prefects were gathering forces to ambush an unknown enemy.

• Shiheng and Sailiya changed course to attend the God-Demon Auction after hearing it had begun in Life God City.
• The auction opened with the Human Little Princess, a Five-Star Fiend, displayed in a cage as a slave and mocked by the host and audience.
• Shiheng used his Divine Soul to discover that the Little Princess's Six-Star Fiend elder sister was being threatened and humiliated by the City Lord's son in a neighboring private box.
• Shiheng learned that five Seven-Star Fiends had destroyed the sisters' Human tribe nine years earlier, captured their father, killed their brother, and taken the sisters as spoils of war.
• Shiheng's fury and killing intent surged as Sailiya watched him, waiting for his decision.
• The City Lord told the city's Six-Star Fiends that the Asura Prefect had ordered every Seven-Star Fiend from thirty-six main cities to intercept an external enemy, and revealed that all ten Asura Prefects were reportedly acting together.
