• After Han Hao escaped and Andrina and Han Jin reached the crystals, Han Shuo appeared among Tyr and Rogg's forces without warning them beforehand.

Han Shuo confronted Tyr and Rogg, exposed their treatment of their allies, and defeated them with a single blow. Tyr then triggered an explosion in Deep Valley, leaving Han Shuo to discover that only part of the valley had been destroyed and that Han Jin, Andrina, and Han Hao were safe.

• Han Shuo killed the other six Commanders and sent all seven Divine Souls into the Myriad Demon Cauldron to strengthen the Han Family.

Han Shuo searched Kaoze’s memories and learned that Godhunters existed to keep the number of deities in each branch in balance, a purpose the Main Gods might tolerate. As Divine Guards gathered to attack the Chaos Lands, Han Shuo left Han Hao to decide how the weakened Godhunters would respond.

• Han Shuo searched Kaoze’s memories and discovered how betrayal, the slaughter of his family, and a former Commander’s explanation had driven Kaoze to become a Godhunter.
• Kaoze’s memories revealed that Godhunters reduced the number of deities and helped protect the Main Gods’ Godheads from harmful changes in the elemental balance.
• Han Shuo and Han Hao reasoned that the Main Gods likely permitted Godhunters to exist but would still restrain their power to preserve a balance between deity populations and faith.
• Saras and Vasias warned Han Shuo that Divine Guards from the Twelve Great Divine Domains were gathering and heading toward the Chaos Lands to threaten the Godhunters and their allies.

• Han Shuo established new rules for Chaos Demon City, removing Deep Valley’s oppressive regulations and waiving the fee for deities entering the city.
• During secluded cultivation, Han Shuo found that his six fused powers repelled light, fire, and life, while battle aura seemed the most promising power to fuse next.
• Han Shuo learned that Divine Guards from the Twelve Great Divine Domains were approaching and that Jia'er, now a Main God, led them.
• McKinley asked Han Shuo to help kill Jia'er, and Han Shuo watched the approaching Divine Guards with a cold sneer.

Han Shuo welcomed the gathered forces into the city, and the chapter ended with the leaders entering the empty streets to face him, Saras, and Vasias.

• Jia'er mocked McKinley and dismissed the threat Han Shuo posed, while Yelus defended Han Shuo and warned Talbot that he could not guarantee victory against him.

• Jia'er declared that the forces would cleanse Chaos Demon City, but Han Shuo opened the gates and invited everyone inside as guests.
• Yelus recognized Han Shuo’s voice and cautioned Talbot to keep the Divine Guards outside, while McKinley challenged Jia’er’s hesitation and entered first.
• McKinley found Han Shuo standing in the city’s central street with Saras and Vasias, then discreetly identified Jia’er for Han Shuo.

Han Shuo confronted Jia'er and Yelus after they arrived in Deep Valley seeking the Godhunter Alliance and Han Hao. He killed Jia'er, but the God of Light rescued Jia'er's divine soul, and the clash caused Han Shuo to form a second External Incarnation; Yelus then hurried to leave.

• Han Shuo questioned Yelus about Laklison's death, and Yelus insisted he had come to deal with the Godhunter Alliance rather than seek revenge.
• Jia'er demanded that Han Shuo hand over Han Hao and reveal the whereabouts of his subordinates, but Han Shuo refused and challenged him.
• Jia'er attacked Han Shuo, who used the Myriad Demon Cauldron and his fused External Incarnations to shatter Jia'er's armor and explode his body.
• The God of Light's power emerged from Jia'er's divine soul and attacked Han Shuo, prompting his battle aura and light incarnations to fuse with his other powers into a second incarnation.
• The God of Light withdrew with Jia'er's divine soul after recognizing Han Shuo's breakthrough, and Yelus signaled Talbot to leave Deep Valley.

After Han Shuo killed Jia'er and drove the invading Divine Guards from Chaos Demon City, he returned to Demon-Hidden Valley to rebuild it and construct the Nine Earth Profound Yin Spirit-Gathering Formation. As the War of the Gods began to unfold, his vast undertaking transformed the valley into a place of growing grandeur.

• Han Shuo killed Jia'er, and the God of Light's wisp departed after acknowledging him, prompting Yelus, Talbot, and the Divine Guard Captains to retreat.

• Han Shuo entrusted Chaos Demon City to Vasias and Saras and returned to Demon-Hidden Valley.
• Han Shuo used the Five Elements Armored Corpses, his power, and materials gathered from across the region to begin constructing the Nine Earth Profound Yin Spirit-Gathering Formation.
• Over the following years, Demon-Hidden Valley expanded to five times its former size as strange weather and changes in heaven and earth accompanied the formation's construction.

Ten years after Han Shuo rebuilt the Nine Earth Profound Yin Spirit-Gathering Formation, the Chaos Lands and Han Family grew stronger while war spread among the divine domains. Nester summoned Han Shuo’s fused external incarnation to discuss the coming war and proposed that he join the side of death, darkness, and destruction; Han Shuo agreed to wait for the other Main Gods before deciding.

• Han Shuo completed the Nine Earth Profound Yin Spirit-Gathering Formation, which drew immense power into Demon-Hidden Valley and accelerated his main body’s cultivation.
• Over the next ten years, the light, life, and water divine domains fought the domains of destruction, darkness, and death, while Chaos Demon City prospered under the Han Family, Saras, and Vasias.
• The Han Family grew powerful, Fanny and Emily reached the upper god middle stage, and Little Skeleton Han Hao secretly became the thirteenth Godhead Main God while leading the Godhunter Alliance.
• Han Shuo sent his forcibly combined external incarnation to the Death Divine Domain after Nester invited him to discuss the war.

After meeting Death Main God Nester, Han Shuo traveled toward the Darkness Divine Domain to visit old friends while continuing to fuse his External Incarnations. In Shadow City, Andrei and Kamelita struggled with the War of the Gods and their unresolved feelings about Han Shuo, then heard a sigh that seemed to come from him.

• Andrei told Kamelita, Heitian, and Qinglin that Shadow City's major families were resisting his orders to prepare for a possible attack.
• Qinglin suggested that Han Shuo's presence could make the families comply, prompting Kamelita and Andrei to condemn him for killing Wallace.
• Qinglin challenged Andrei and Kamelita over their past refusal to join the campaign against Han Shuo, and the group fell silent.
• A familiar sigh sounded outside the Saint Family meeting chamber, leading Heitian and Qinglin to suspect Han Shuo had arrived.
• Andrei told the others to let the visitor go, but Qinglin and Heitian insisted they should see who had come.

Han Shuo reunited with Qinglin and Heitian at the old Celestial Pivot Pharmacy after learning that Andrei and Kamelita still cared for him but could not openly associate with him after Wallace’s death. He gave them powerful treasures and potions, and the chapter ended with Andrei learning that three major families had unexpectedly agreed to submit to his command.

• Kamelita and Andrei worried that Han Shuo’s return to the Darkness Divine Domain could put him in danger, while Qinglin and Heitian went to find him.
• Qinglin and Heitian met Han Shuo at the abandoned site of Celestial Pivot Pharmacy, where Heitian embraced him and asked about the scar on his face.
• Han Shuo learned that Andrei and Kamelita still considered him a friend but feared the Saint Family’s reaction to associating with Wallace’s killer.

• Andrei learned that the Jinsen, Jisa, and Bule families had agreed to integrate their forces into the Divine Guards and submit to his command.

• Donna reproached Han Shuo for leaving her alone while spending time with other women, then complained that he was behaving too properly.
