Chapter Summaries

Han Shuo left Veilshade City after inviting Donna to join him in the Chaos Lands, then traveled to Black Domain Forest to meet the Darkness, Death, and Destruction Main Gods. Before he could speak with the Darkness Main God, the godhead’s power trapped and overwhelmed his two external incarnations.

• Han Shuo reassured Donna that Field approved of their relationship and invited her to prepare to join him in the Chaos Lands; Donna decided to discuss it with her father.
• Han Shuo left Veilshade City and traveled to Black Domain Forest, where the Darkness Temple was located.
• Han Shuo entered the forest and followed the growing concentration of darkness element toward its source, reflecting on the Main Gods’ invitation and the coming War of the Gods.
• Han Shuo reached the Source of Darkness and sensed the power of a godhead before he could announce himself.
• The Darkness Main God’s power engulfed Han Shuo in a dark vortex, forcing him to separate his external incarnations as their defenses began to fail.

Han Shuo escaped the Darkness Main God's attack by making his two External Incarnations' powers clash, then faced Nester, An Meng, and the Destruction Main God. After the Main Gods explained that An Meng had only tested him, Han Shuo lowered his guard, and An Meng began a discussion about the War of the Gods and Sky City.

• Han Shuo forced his two External Incarnations' powers to collide, blasting them out of An Meng's dark vortex and fleeing through the darkness.
• The Destruction Main God stopped Han Shuo's escape, and Nester appeared alongside the powers of the Death Godhead and destruction.
• Han Shuo joined his External Incarnations' opposing sides and unleashed a devastating energy field, aiming a beam at Nester before Nester told him An Meng had only been testing him.
• An Meng and the Destruction Main God emerged from the darkness, and Han Shuo cautiously lowered his hands after An Meng said he qualified to speak with them.
• An Meng agreed not to pursue Han Shuo's killing of Wallace and Hofus and proposed discussing the War of the Gods and Sky City.

An Meng, Nester, and Gulado explained how the Sea of Faith sustained and cleansed Godheads, and how a Main God could be replaced if faith ran out. Han Shuo also learned that the Main Gods knew his origins and that An Meng had not protected him out of regard for the Goddess of Fate.

• An Meng, Nester, and Gulado led Han Shuo into the Darkness Temple, where Han Shuo sensed believers’ faith power flowing toward An Meng and into a vast space behind him.
• Nester identified the space as the Sea of Faith, and An Meng explained that Godheads needed faith power and periodic cleansing to remain usable.
• An Meng told Han Shuo that a Godhead would erase its bearer’s divine soul if faith power ran out, while Gulado explained how Godhead Fragments could help a deity replace a fallen Main God.
• Nester and Gulado explained why they considered Han Hao, who possessed a Godhead Fragment, a greater threat than powerful Pseudo-Main Gods without one.
• Gulado revealed that the Main Gods knew Han Shuo had come from another universe, and Han Shuo realized they had long known his identity.
• An Meng said the Goddess of Fate held little influence over him, leaving Han Shuo to conclude that he owed her no favor.

Han Shuo learned that the Genesis Mother Goddess controlled the Twelve Godhead Main Gods through their Godheads and planned to reclaim their souls and power when she recovered. Nester, Dark Curtain, and Gulado wanted Han Shuo to help break open Sky City before she emerged, though they concealed what they hoped to gain there.

• An Meng and Nester told Han Shuo that the Main Gods surrendered much of their gathered Faith Power to the Genesis Mother Goddess through their Godheads.
• Gulado recounted how Demon Venerable Gu Tianxie fought the Genesis Mother Goddess, whose attempt to reclaim the Main Gods' souls and Godheads was disrupted by his final strike.
• An Meng and Gulado explained that the Genesis Mother Goddess had sealed herself inside Sky City while gravely wounded and that Gu Tianxie's last act had brought Han Shuo's soul to their universe.
• Han Shuo realized the Main Gods intended to break into Sky City and kill the Genesis Mother Goddess before she recovered, and he noticed they were hiding another motive.
• Dark Curtain told Han Shuo that the Godheads were slipping further from their control and that the Goddess of Fate had warned the Genesis Mother Goddess might soon emerge.

Han Shuo learned that the Wars of the Gods replenished the Fate Mirror and restrained Sky City's influence on the godheads, then agreed to cooperate with Nester, An Meng, and Gulado. As they planned their moves, the Goddess of Fate secretly watched them through her mirror and erased their image with a faint, cold smile.

• An Meng told Han Shuo that the Wars of the Gods supplied divine souls to the Fate Mirror, helping resist Sky City's pull on the godheads, and that deaths among deities of the same element also sustained them.
• Nester, An Meng, and Gulado asked Han Shuo to join them in the War of the Gods and in Sky City, promising to protect him after it opened despite the others' plans to kill him.
• Han Shuo learned that the Goddess of Fate had proposed killing him once Sky City opened, but agreed to cooperate with the three Main Gods.
• Han Shuo and the three Main Gods discussed their cooperation and plans for the War of the Gods and Sky City in the Darkness Temple.
• The Goddess of Fate used her mirror to watch Han Shuo and the three Main Gods, then wiped away their image with a faint, cold smile.

Han Shuo sensed the Goddess of Fate probing from her divine domain and warned the three Main Gods that she might know of their plans. After Donna joined him, he headed for the Wind Divine Domain, where Godhunters prepared to resist Han Hao’s growing influence.

• Han Shuo’s Main Body detected a strange fluctuation from the Fate Divine Domain, expanded his Divine Sense across the Chaos Lands, then withdrew when it reached the domain’s border.

• Han Shuo told Nester, An Meng, and Gulado that the Goddess of Fate had directed a fluctuation toward them, and An Meng confirmed sensing her power.
• Han Shuo met Donna in Veilshade City, learned her father had agreed to let her leave, and took her with him toward the Wind Divine Domain instead of the Chaos Lands.
• At Windhowl Valley, Naga and the other Godhunters learned Han Hao was consolidating forces across several divine domains and agreed to unite against him.

Han Hao seized control of the Godhunters in Windhowl Valley, then met with Han Shuo, who warned him that godheads needed faith power to survive. Han Hao revealed that his godhead had formed differently and empowered him, and Han Shuo identified its source as the sinister forces released by souls between life and death, while remaining unsure why it had formed so easily.

• Han Hao arrived in Windhowl Valley, killed Naga, and appointed a new Godhunter commander who would answer to him.
• Han Hao ordered the new commander to reorganize the Wind Divine Domain’s Godhunters within a month and put Boro in charge of watching them.
• Han Shuo arrived with Donna and warned Han Hao that his godhead might require faith power once his Godhead Fragment disappeared.
• Han Hao explained that his Godhead Fragment had vanished but his godhead continued strengthening his body and divine soul without needing faith power.
• Han Hao demonstrated his power, and Han Shuo explained that it drew on the extreme negative forces released by unnatural deaths.
• Han Shuo wondered whether Han Hao’s Demonic Cultivation Art had enabled his godhead to form so smoothly.

• Lomon told Lolth that Han Jin and Andrina had strengthened his body by beating him, and that he had survived Saras’s lightning attack.
• Lomon thanked Lolth for bringing Han Shuo to him, while Lolth lamented how far Han Shuo had surpassed her.
• Han Shuo summoned Lolth through her Divine Soul, and she excitedly hurried toward the underground passage.

Han Shuo summoned the Han Family’s core members and valley leaders to discuss the War of the Gods, warning that they could not stay out of it. He said the conflict would involve every divine domain and would be more brutal than previous wars.

• Lolth received Han Shuo’s message through her divine soul and hurried underground, while Han Shuo also summoned Lomon to discuss the War of the Gods.
• Lomon realized Han Shuo could use his divine sense to destroy anyone he detected, and feared the power of such an attack.
• Lolth reached the underground palace and found Blood Spirit, the Five Elements Armored Corpses, Phoebe, Emily, and other members of the Han Family gathering there.
• Han Shuo appeared before the assembled group and explained that they would have to prepare to join the War of the Gods.
• Han Shuo warned that the war would spread beyond the six domains already fighting and that even the Fate and Space-Time Divine Domains would not escape.

• Han Shuo told the Han Family that the Chaos Lands would ally with the Destruction, Darkness, and Death Divine Domains in the War of the Gods.
• Han Shuo ordered the Chaos Lands’ forces to gather, directed Stassom, Almerick, and the others to coordinate with Saras and Vasias, and arranged for supplies and defenses to be prepared.
• The residents of Demon-Hidden Valley discussed their response to the war and then dispersed, leaving Han Shuo with Blood Spirit, Gilbert, Bolands, and the women.
• Lolth told Han Shuo that she wanted to leave the Chaos Lands and travel through the Twelve Great Divine Domains to improve her understanding of darkness power.
• Emily, Phoebe, Fanny, and the other women urged Lolth to stay, and Lolth agreed without mentioning her departure again.

Emily persuaded Lolth to stay in the valley, easing her doubts about her place in Han Shuo’s family. Han Shuo then offered Blood Spirit, Bolands, and Gilbert access to the profound yin qi gathered by his formation so they could advance their cultivation.

• Emily noticed Lolth was troubled and, with Phoebe and the others, warmly persuaded her to abandon her plan to leave the valley.
• Lolth agreed to stay, and Emily took her outside for a private chat with Phoebe and Fanny following.
• Gilbert and Blood Spirit praised Emily’s generosity, while Bolands agreed that she was a good woman who saw the bigger picture.
• Han Shuo finished answering the three men’s questions about the Demonic Cultivation Art and explained that their unique power profound truths could not benefit from Divine Power Potions.
• Han Shuo offered to build another secret chamber where Blood Spirit, Bolands, and Gilbert could cultivate using the essence qi spilling from his chamber.

Han Shuo led Blood Spirit, Bolands, and Gilbert into the depths of the valley to strengthen them with its Profound Yin Qi. He used the Myriad Demon Cauldron and a drop of his blood to form a space that gathered the energy, then explained the limits of Blood-Drop Immortality and his own reliance on Divine Sense to revive.

• Han Shuo planned to temper Gilbert’s forged body and help Blood Spirit, Bolands, and Gilbert grow stronger using the valley’s Profound Yin Qi.
• Blood Spirit, Bolands, and Gilbert followed Han Shuo underground and sensed the Profound Yin Qi as they approached its source.
• Han Shuo summoned the Myriad Demon Cauldron and used a drop of blood to create a miniature space that drew in and organized the surrounding Profound Yin Qi.
• Blood Spirit asked whether Han Shuo’s feat demonstrated Blood-Drop Immortality, and Han Shuo explained that the Blood Demon Realm allowed someone to revive from a remaining drop of blood.
• Han Shuo told Blood Spirit that he could revive through Divine Sense rather than blood, and that only the dormant Creator God in Sky City might be able to erase his consciousness completely.

Han Shuo sent Blood Spirit, Gilbert, and Bolands to cultivate in a chamber filled with Profound Yin Qi while the War of the Gods intensified across the Continent of the Gods. He entered the Vast Ocean to find the missing Space-Time Main God and heard an aged voice greet him as his two External Incarnations were split apart.

• Han Shuo opened a chamber in the stone wall with the Myriad Demon Cauldron and told Blood Spirit, Gilbert, and Bolands to cultivate inside using the Profound Yin Qi.
• Several years passed as fighting spread across the Continent of the Gods and the previously neutral Divine Domains prepared for war, with the Fate Divine Domain forming a Divine Guards Corps.
• Han Shuo and Donna traveled through the Divine Domains, and Han Shuo learned that the Space-Time Main God had vanished and was unreachable.
• At Nester, An Meng, and Gulado's request, Han Shuo went to Illusory Sky City to contact the Space-Time Main God, then sent Donna back to the Chaos Lands.
• Han Shuo entered the Vast Ocean, where an aged voice said, "You've finally come," and Space Power split apart his two External Incarnations.

Han Shuo met the Space-Time Main God inside his complete world and learned that the god had watched him since he entered this universe. The Space-Time Main God asked Han Shuo to help him escape to Han Shuo’s universe, and Han Shuo agreed.

• The Space-Time Main God drew Han Shuo’s two external incarnations into his world and revealed his power to control everything within it.
• Han Shuo realized the Space-Time Main God could read the thoughts of anyone inside his world and learned why Nester and the other Main Gods avoided meeting him there.
• The Space-Time Main God showed scenes of Han Shuo’s life, explaining that he had watched over him because Han Shuo was their only hope.
• The Space-Time Main God asked Han Shuo to help him cross the barriers between universes and offered to support him against anyone who threatened him.
• Han Shuo warned that the Creator God in Sky City could soon emerge, then promised to help the Space-Time Main God leave when he had the ability.

Han Shuo followed Fernando, the Space-Time Main God, to see Sky City and learned that it was destroying planes to restore its dormant creator’s power. With Sky City approaching the Continent of the Gods in 230 years, the Main Gods needed to break its barriers and end the War of the Gods before time ran out.

• Fernando led Han Shuo through a strange passage and brought him to the moving Sky City.
• Fernando explained that Sky City had destroyed sixty-five planes, absorbing their core power and threatening the Main Gods’ supply of faith.
• Fernando revealed that Sky City was heading toward the Continent of the Gods and would arrive in 230 years, after which its creator could recover enough strength to overpower everyone.
• Chatris, the Main God of Fire, arrived and questioned whether Han Shuo could withstand the threat of Sky City.
• Manrou, the Goddess of Water, trapped Han Shuo in a water drop and doubted he could break Sky City’s barriers, until Nester challenged her to do it herself.

The Twelve Godhead Main Gods gathered after Fernando summoned them, and Olsya explained that they had just over two hundred years to prepare for Sky City’s release. She believed Han Shuo’s advancing power was their only hope of breaking the Sky City Barrier, and asked Fernando to bring Han Hao to join them.

• Manrou released Han Shuo from her water droplet, and he concealed his anger while resolving to settle the matter later.
• Fernando summoned the remaining Main Gods through Spatial Tunnels, bringing all Twelve Godhead Main Gods together.
• Astins and Fernando argued over Jia’er’s fate, and Fernando said Kalei would have dealt with Jia’er after returning to Illusory Sky City.
• Olsya warned that the Main Gods had just over two hundred years before Sky City might draw their Godheads away, and said the Fate Mirror needed more Divine Soul power.
• Olsya asked whether Han Shuo could advance enough to break the Sky City Barrier, and declared that his unusual power was their only way out.
• Olsya asked Fernando to bring Han Hao to the gathering as a new companion.

Han Shuo and the other Godhead Main Gods agreed to prepare for war while obeying the rule against personally entering the fighting. After ten years of preparation, the Light, Life, and Water Divine Domains unexpectedly attacked the Fate Divine Domain, while the Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Fire Divine Domains launched attacks elsewhere.

• Olsya brought Han Hao to join the gathering, and the Godhead Main Gods agreed to guide the War of the Gods without fighting personally.
• Nester, An Meng, Gulado, and Fernando decided to target the Fate Divine Domain first and arranged Spatial Grand Teleportation Arrays with Han Shuo's support.
• Han Hao went with Gulado to the Destruction Divine Domain, while Han Shuo told Saras and Vasias to help Kalei build an array in Chaos Demon City.
• After ten years of preparation, Han Shuo and his allies planned to attack the Fate Divine Domain, but Han Hao reported that the Light, Life, and Water Divine Domains had attacked it first.
• The Earth, Wind, Lightning, and Fire Divine Domains formed an alliance and attacked the Light, Life, and Water Divine Domains while their forces were away.

Han Shuo observed how Olsya used the Fate Mirror to gather Divine Souls and counter Sky City's pull, while the Fate Divine Domain fought off the allied forces of Light, Water, and Life. Seeing the many deaths below, Han Shuo wondered whether his Myriad Demon Cauldron could absorb some of the Divine Soul power.

• Fernando arrived at Demon-Hidden Valley and invited Han Shuo to inspect the Fate Mirror above the Fate Divine Domain.
• Fernando explained that Olsya wove the fate threads of dead deities into a net that resisted Sky City's pull, and he shared suspicions that the process also strengthened Olsya.
• Han Shuo and Fernando watched seven women use their Astral Compasses in a Seven-Star Formation to devastate the allied forces of Light, Water, and Life.
• Han Shuo considered using the Myriad Demon Cauldron to absorb Divine Soul power from the deaths below.

Han Shuo secretly sent the Myriad Demon Cauldron to collect Divine Souls from the battle in the Fate Divine Domain, hoping to strengthen it. After Olsya exposed his scheme and demanded he stop, the Cauldron Spirit claimed it could counter Sky City’s pull, and Han Shuo announced he would take a share.

• Han Shuo sent the Myriad Demon Cauldron into the battlefield, where it secretly collected Divine Souls while he distracted Fernando.
• Jia'er and other Pseudo-Main Gods joined the fight, turning the battle against the seven old women and weakening the Fate Divine Domain’s advantage.
• The Myriad Demon Cauldron grew bolder and collected hundreds more Divine Souls until the Fate Mirror revealed its actions.
• Olsya summoned Han Shuo and Fernando to the Fate Temple, showed them the cauldron’s theft, and warned Han Shuo to stop unless it could counter Sky City’s influence.
• The Cauldron Spirit claimed that enough Divine Souls could counter or even block Sky City’s pull, and Han Shuo told Olsya he would take a share.

Han Shuo persuaded Olsya and the Godhead Main Gods to let him collect divine souls, promising his demonic artifact could counter Sky City and break its barrier. The group agreed to intensify the war, and Han Shuo went with Fernando to the God of Light Realm to gather souls amid the fighting.

• Han Shuo assured Olsya and Fernando that his demonic artifact could counter Sky City's influence and break its barrier if it absorbed enough divine souls.
• Olsya summoned the other ten Godhead Main Gods and proposed escalating the war to produce twice as many divine souls, with her Fate Mirror as a backup.
