• Vivian called for the Divine Planes to be created soon and raised the need to restrict Sovereign killings.
• Rhodes rejected a complete ban on Sovereign conflict, while supporting the creation of the Divine Planes.

After the Wind Sovereigns divided its territories and its Teleportation Arrays appeared, Rhodes hurried back to the Infernal Realm to reunite with Hathaway.

He saw a path toward transcendence but realized he would need to find a way to contain the deadly energy, and he resolved to enlist researchers across the universe.

• Rhodes used the milky-white flame to clear Spatial Turbulence, then hurled his black Annihilation Divine Thunder into it.
• The collision pierced the universe’s barrier and released Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, which dissolved the flame and Divine Thunder as Rhodes fled.
• Rhodes concluded that Hongmeng Spiritual Energy could enable transcendence but would dissolve him if he touched it directly.
• Rhodes considered having researchers throughout the universe discover a way to contain and use Hongmeng Qi, potentially allowing him to transcend with Hathaway and others.
• Rhodes examined the crystalline flame, wondered about its origin, and laughed as he credited Atezi for bringing it to him.

After billions of years of cultivation, Rhodes and the other Sovereigns gathered as the Four Overgods created the Planar Battlefield. The battlefield was completed, and the Sovereigns learned that they were forbidden from entering it.

• Rhodes returned to Heaven-Reaching Peak and spent billions of years strengthening his Divine Body while tracking signs of Danniton, Bebe, and the Yulan Continent.

• The Four Overgods created the Planar Battlefield, and a message warned the Sovereigns that they could not enter it and would die if they trespassed a second time.

Rhodes prepared the Infernal Realm for the approaching Planar War while continuing his experiments to capture and store Hongmeng Spiritual Energy. The chapter ended with Lei Ding and Kleia Gaia welcoming twins, Gaiseresen Lei Ding and Gaia Lei Ding, as Rhodes and Hathaway held them.

• Lei Ding and Kleia Gaia welcomed a boy and a girl, naming them Gaiseresen Lei Ding and Gaia Lei Ding.

Rhodes spent time with the Sovereigns and Lei Ding’s newborn children while discussing Orloff’s Overgod mission and the Hall of the Gods. As Gaiseresen and Gaia grew up, their bloodlines still had not awakened, leaving Lei Ding worried and the Sovereigns resolved to investigate the matter.

• Rhodes put Hemmers to work alongside Lei Si, stopping Hemmers from continuing his long seclusion and giving Lei Si a possible successor to train.
• Rhodes protected Gaia from Lei Ding’s discipline, made her his Sovereign Emissary, and encouraged Lei Ding to forge her a defensive Sovereign Artifact.

• More than a hundred years later, Gaiseresen and Gaia had grown into young adults and complained as Rhodes, Pash, and the others laughed at them.

Lei Ding’s Dragon Transformation Pool successfully awakened Gaiseresen and Gaia’s Azure Dragon bloodline, granting them Azure Dragon abilities and Water Element Divine Clones. After ordering Gaiseresen to oversee the clan’s awakenings, Lei Ding told Rhodes that he could help advance the research into giving others internal Alternate Spaces, and indicated that the required super Divine Beast was present.

• Lei Ding gathered the Infernal Realm’s Sovereigns and his descendants to witness Gaiseresen and Gaia undergo bloodline baptism in the Dragon Transformation Pool.
• After absorbing the Dragon Transformation Crystals, Gaiseresen and Gaia transformed painfully, awakened their Azure Dragon bloodline, and released a Dragon Roar that dazed the gathered descendants.

• Lei Ding gave Gaiseresen Dragon Transformation Crystals and ordered him to arrange bloodline baptisms for the rest of the clan.
• Lei Ding told Rhodes he was confident he could help perfect the project to replicate internal Alternate Spaces through essence blood, then turned his attention to a person present.

• Hemmers and more than thirty Wind Sovereign Emissaries overwhelmed the Earth forces in both passages, securing the Wind Element’s victory.
• The Laws of Heaven and Earth enveloped the seven Wind Sovereigns and granted each a portion of willpower, strengthening the Wind Sovereigns.

After Rhodes’s faction secured ten consecutive Planar War victories, he and Hathaway welcomed a daughter, and Rhodes unexpectedly comprehended the Destruction Rule when he held her. Sovereigns from across the planes gathered at Heaven-Reaching Peak to celebrate the universe’s new little princess, while Rhodes arranged for them to protect her when she traveled.

• Yi Han explained that every Sovereign in a faction would receive a portion of Willpower after ten consecutive Planar War victories, making future wars more fiercely contested.
• Rhodes returned to the Infernal Realm and spent his free time with Hathaway as the Four Divine Beasts’ descendants expanded their clan’s influence.
• After more than five hundred years, Hathaway gave birth to a daughter, and Rhodes gained a Destruction Divine Clone when he let go of his lingering memories of his previous life.
• Rhodes held his newborn daughter and rebuked Pash for wanting to celebrate with drinks while the baby was asleep.
• When the girl could walk and fly, Sovereigns from across the planes came to Heaven-Reaching Peak with gifts and blessings, memorized her soul aura, and promised to protect her.

Rhodes sought ways to cultivate an internal space capable of safely using Hongmeng Spiritual Energy while caring for Annie and arranging fragments to help awaken her bloodline. After Pash completed the Overgod of Destruction's mission, Rhodes's requests about transcendence were refused, and Pash received an offensive Overgod Artifact; Rhodes was left relying on Lei Ding's ongoing research.

• Annie spent centuries playing havoc in the Skyrite Mountains while Hemmers and Rhodes and Hathaway watched over her, and the clans gradually moved away to escape the chaos.
• Rhodes asked Orloff for fragments of all seven elements' Profound Mysteries and discussed Divine Beasts' Innate Divine Abilities as he pursued a way to open an Alternate Space inside his body.
• Pash brought Rhodes all the tokens for the Overgod of Destruction's mission, and Rhodes summoned the Overgod after confirming the tokens were complete.
• Rhodes asked the Overgod for ten additional requests and a treasure that could store Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, but the Overgod refused his requests related to transcendence and an internal space.
• Pash requested an Overgod Artifact but was told he could choose only an offensive, defensive, or soul-defensive type, so he selected an offensive destruction-type artifact.
• Rhodes remained disappointed but looked to Lei Ding, who was nearing the end of his experiments on an internal Alternate Space.
