Chapter Summaries

Bai Qinchen hid in Xuanyue’s room while A Dai searched the mansion for the missing Big Brother Rock and questioned her about him. After A Dai left, Xuanyue reflected that Rock was already dead, killed by his own wife.

• A Dai said Lei Xiang and Zi Xue had confirmed Bai Qinchen remained confined in the Goodness Divine Hall, then left to search the mansion.
• After A Dai departed, Xuanyue thought that Rock was dead because his wife had cut out his heart.

• A Dai told Xuanyue that Rock had died in Zhuo Yun’s room, and Xuanyue reacted with apparent shock and horror.

• The God King of Goodness urged everyone to get dressed and told Bai Qinchen to return to prison.

• Tang San told Bai Qinchen that A Dai had vanished, and Bai Qinchen pointed to his chains and confinement as proof he could not have acted.

Tang San and the God Kings failed to find evidence connecting Bai Qinchen to A Dai’s disappearance, while the Soul Binding contract prevented them from harming him without endangering Lie Yan. After they left Zi Xue to guard Bai Qinchen and planned to watch the Goodness Divine Hall from outside, Bai Qinchen embraced Zi Xue in the empty cell.

• Tang San searched Bai Qinchen’s cell with his Purple Demon Eye but found no clues or disturbances.
• Bai Qinchen provoked Tang San and Lei Xiang, while the God Kings held back because harming him would cause Lie Yan to suffer the backlash.
• Zi Xue volunteered to guard Bai Qinchen as Lei Xiang left with Tang San to investigate A Dai’s disappearance.
• Once the stone door shut, Bai Qinchen left the cage and pulled Zi Xue into his arms, and she welcomed his advances.
• Outside the Goodness Divine Hall, Tang San insisted Bai Qinchen was connected to the strange events and assigned the God Kings to watch the hall in shifts.

Bai Qinchen remained hidden inside the Goodness Divine Hall while Tang San and the other God Kings watched outside, and an explosion at the Future Great God Realm’s camp forced them to split up. Tang San went to check the hall, where the God King of Goodness opened the doors as Bai Qinchen carried the Life God King into the prison cell.

• The God King of Goodness warned Bai Qinchen that Tang San and the others were guarding the Divine Hall, while Bai Qinchen said that something would happen outside.
• Tang San, Lei Xiang, Zhou Weiqing, and Ji Dong waited in hiding as the Divine Realm remained quiet, and Tang San concluded Bai Qinchen was deliberately lying low.
• Ji Dong noticed Rong Nianbing had not arrived to take over the watch, and a huge explosion erupted at the Future Great God Realm’s camp.
• Tang San sent Ji Dong, Lei Xiang, and Zhou Weiqing to the camp and went to the Goodness Divine Hall to see whether Bai Qinchen was still there.
• The God King of Goodness urged Bai Qinchen to hide in the prison cell, and he carried the Life God King there before the God King of Goodness opened the hall doors to Tang San.

Tang San found Bai Qinchen still imprisoned in the Goodness Divine Hall and could not explain the explosion at his camp. At Rong Nianbing’s mansion, Ice Spirit agreed to let her daughters-in-law kill him so they could pursue Bai Qinchen, and the women concealed their decision as they sat down to eat.

• The God King of Goodness led Tang San into the prison, where he saw Bai Qinchen chained and the Life God King standing guard.
• Tang San questioned whether his suspicions were wrong and wondered who had caused the explosion at his camp.
• Feng Nü, Xiyun, and Lan Chen urged Ice Spirit to let them kill Rong Nianbing, and Ice Spirit finally agreed.
• Feng Nü told the women to hide their intentions, and they left the sealed inner room to join Rong Nianbing for dinner.
• Rong Nianbing served Eight-Treasure Spirit Fowl Soup before saying he would take over the watch, while Ice Spirit silently wept into her bowl.

Feng Nü and Rong Nianbing’s other wives attacked him at dinner, revealing that they wanted him dead so they could pursue Bai Qinchen. Wounded and betrayed, Rong Nianbing refused to let them go to Bai Qinchen and began unleashing a savage presence.

• Feng Nü suddenly pierced Rong Nianbing’s chest while he was unguarded, and he held back his divine power to avoid hurting her.
• Lan Chen, Xiyun, Long Ling, Kao, and the other wives joined Feng Nü and stabbed Rong Nianbing as he pleaded for them to stop.
• Feng Nü told Rong Nianbing that his existence stood between them and Bai Qinchen, whom they wanted to pursue for pleasure.

• Rong Nianbing accused the women of betraying him for Bai Qinchen and declared that he would never let them go to the imprisoned criminal, as a savage presence began to rise within him.

Rong Nianbing self-destructed after the women betrayed him, and they concealed their role by claiming an unknown attacker had killed him. Tang San confirmed Bai Qinchen was still imprisoned, leaving the God Kings to face the possibility that a hidden killer was targeting them.

• Rong Nianbing reversed his Divine Core and destroyed his mansion in a self-destructive explosion.

After Rong Nianbing died in a mysterious attack, Tang San and the future God Kings confronted the God Realm Committee and demanded help investigating the killings. The God of Evil blamed their arrival from the future for disrupting history and rejected responsibility, leaving Lei Xiang furious and the future Deities without the committee’s support.

• Ice Spirit, Feng Nü, and Lan Chen mourned Rong Nianbing as Tang San vowed to avenge him and called for martial law.
• Tang San, Ji Dong, Lei Xiang, and the others went to the God Realm Committee to demand an explanation for Chang Gongwei’s death, A'Dai’s disappearance, and Rong Nianbing’s death.
• The God of Evil argued that the future Deities had altered causality and said the committee would not risk destabilizing the present Divine Realm to help them.
• Tang San and Ye Yinzhu challenged the committee’s refusal to protect order and avenge their comrades, but the God of Evil dismissed them as unrecorded outsiders.
• The God of Evil declared that the future Deities were not his comrades and that Rong Nianbing’s death was the fate of this era, prompting Lei Xiang to demand that someone pay for it.

• The God of Evil and the other members of the God Realm Committee refused to intervene, and the Asura God said the visitors’ troubles were consequences of their arrival from the future.
• Tang San led the others out of the hall while the God of Evil warned that the Committee would step in if their investigation disrupted the Divine Realm.

The Sea God pledged to help Tang San after learning that the Sea God of this era had died, while Tang San and the other God Kings investigated Rong Nianbing’s murder without suspecting his lovers. Bai Qinchen and his allies remained hidden, and after learning the God Realm Committee planned to monitor Tang San, Bai Qinchen considered targeting other goddesses.

• The Sea God grieved over the death of his counterpart and promised to help Tang San, his successor from the future.

• The Godess of Kindness told Bai Qinchen that the committee planned to strengthen defenses and secretly monitor Tang San’s group.
• Bai Qinchen inferred that the committee might seek grounds to eliminate Tang San and considered provoking the God of Envy, the Water God, and the God of Love.

• Bai Qinchen told the Goddess of Kindness he wanted the Committee to blame Tang San’s side for further killings, but he would spare the God of Evil and the God of Destruction to keep the sides evenly matched.

• The God of Light suggested the Water God and led Bai Qinchen to her residence.
• Bai Qinchen and the God of Light hid in the clouds when Sea God Poseidon hurried out of the Water God’s residence, looking anxious.
• The God of Light greeted the Water God and asked why Poseidon had rushed away.

The God of Light drugged the Water God and left her alone with Bai Qinchen, hoping he would take advantage of her. The Water God became increasingly flustered and attracted to him, and the chapter ended with them alone in the silent hall.

• The Water God relaxed into the massage and praised Bai Qinchen’s technique while he continued watching her.

• Bai Qinchen stopped massaging, and the Water God, overwhelmed by renewed discomfort, asked him to continue.
• Bai Qinchen resumed with teasingly light touches, then gradually increased the pressure as the Water God requested.

• Bai Qinchen feigned hesitation when the Water God demanded that he go farther forward.
• Bai Qinchen crossed the final boundary and seized the Water God's breast as she requested.

Bai Qinchen continued massaging the Water God as a growing, unexplained emptiness and heat overwhelmed her senses. She clung to him and begged him to help, ending the chapter in tears after agreeing to his suggestion that she remove her dress.

• Bai Qinchen intensified his massage while the Water God responded with pleasure, but she soon became increasingly restless and distressed.
