• Li Zhi led the party through the wilderness, and its members shared their backgrounds while Jiang Yang invented a story about seeking revenge on a strange beast.
• Molly played a song about God King Jiang, prompting the party to discuss the gods they worshipped.

• The dragon-slaying party entered a valley where a corrosive force had turned the land black and found countless bones beneath a gigantic dragon.
• The pitch-black dragon opened its dark-golden eyes, laughed at the intruders, and called them food delivered to its door.

• Borli, Molly, the brown-haired girl, and their companions launched their planned attack on Lord Kus, but their blows barely threatened the dragon.
• The party unleashed their strongest attacks, and Borli struck Kus in the eye with an A-Rank arrow.

• The figure confronted Kus and asked how he intended to plunge the world into turmoil.

Jiang Yang forced the evil dragon to reveal how it planned to bring demons into the world, then watched as a vast ritual array summoned the Demon King, Samael. The dragon-slaying party fled while Jiang Yang prepared to face the newly arrived threat.

• Jiang Yang freed the pitch-black dragon's jaws and the dragon recognized him as God King Jiang of the Kunlun Divine Court.

• Jiang Yang ordered the dragon-slaying party to retreat, and the silver-haired elf led the others away.
• The Demon King, Samael, emerged from the array and announced that he had returned to the world.

A hooded woman and two men carried an unconscious bespectacled young man toward their mission destination while observing the demon Samael and a golden-haired figure from afar. In the valley, Jiang Yang transformed into the Golden Crow to confront Samael, and the trio recognized the legendary divine bird.

• The hooded woman identified Samael as a demon king whose recorded strength was fifth-step Emperor-Rank, and her companions judged him and the golden-haired figure to be powerful.
• The three mission members left with the unconscious bespectacled young man, while the stern man carried him on his shoulder.
• Aji welcomed Samael and asked him to bring death and eternal rest to the continent, and Samael promised to give Aji a more powerful demonic body.
• Samael mocked Jiang Yang and reached to seize him, while Jiang Yang saw that the demon's body was made from countless corpses and bones.
• Jiang Yang unleashed golden flames and transformed into a divine bird, and the distant trio recognized him as the Golden Crow.

Jiang Yang fought Samael, the King of Demons, for three days and three nights and defeated his projection. Samael’s exploding black blood spread across the world and eventually gave rise to Magic Beasts, while Jiang Yang was left wondering about Satan and the demon’s origins.

• Three observers recognized Jiang Yang as a possible supreme powerhouse of the Fifth Epoch and left, certain he would win.
• Jiang Yang shattered Samael’s giant hand and battled the King of Demons, using the Forbidden Domain and his sword-like Golden Crow form.
• After three days and three nights, Samael fell into a severe disadvantage and threatened that Hell would invade the mortal world.
• Samael exploded in the sky, scattering black blood across the world; Jiang Yang burned most of it but could not stop some from spreading.
• The remaining blood became a trigger for the later emergence of Magic Beasts, whose attacks devastated the Silver Folk but whose magic and materials proved useful.
• Jiang Yang returned to human form, exhausted, and wondered where Samael had come from and who Satan was.

Samael learned that Hell’s gate would take about three thousand years to fully open, then set out for a council at the Hell Court after threatening Satan’s envoy. On Earth, Jiang Yang went to the Great Snowfield Shelter and accidentally interrupted Li Xiaowa and Qing Fengxi in the laboratory.

• Samael asked his subordinates when the gate between Hell and the mortal world would open, and they said it would take approximately three thousand years to fully connect.
• Samael learned that weaker demons could enter through small spatial breaches before then, but he feared Jiang Yang would grow too powerful if he waited.
• A fallen angel delivered Satan’s command for Samael to attend a council at the Court, and Samael seized and threatened the envoy before agreeing to go.
• After recovering from the battle, Jiang Yang visited the Great Snowfield Shelter and entered the laboratory, where he found Li Xiaowa and Qing Fengxi nearly kissing.
• Jiang Yang backed out and shut the door, then Qing Fengxi angrily called for him to return.

Jiang Yang reflected on his battle with Samael and forged a Divine Ring, reaching the emperor-rank third step. He emerged before the Gods and declared what his breakthrough meant, while silently remembering Ania.

• Li Xiaowa and Qing Fengxi examined Jiang Yang’s photographs of the demon and the hexagram formation, and Qing Fengxi agreed to study the formation.
• Li Xiaowa planned to search historical records for demons and alert the other shelters and Divine Courts, while Jiang Yang returned to Kunlun Mountain to cultivate.
• Jiang Yang revisited his memories and formed a supreme will to protect heaven, earth, and all living beings, as a golden Divine Ring began to take shape behind him.
• For three years, the Divine Ring’s forging sounds echoed across the Divine Court, worrying Filiya, Li Xiaowa, and the other Gods.
• Jiang Yang completed the Divine Ring, rose with his sword drawn, and announced that he had reached the emperor-rank third step.
