Chapter Summaries

Wolong was cornered by the Ant Queen and the Rock Sovereign, who intended to kill him and hunt down Wenhe and the transmigrators. As the Rock Sovereign attacked, Wolong began a cry that was echoed by a three-legged mosquito across the continent, but the chapter ended before the words were revealed.

• Wolong, gravely wounded and separated from Wenhe, taunted the Ant Queen and warned that the Stone Men would eventually consume everyone.
• The Ant Queen demanded that Wolong reveal Wenhe’s location, but Wolong refused and called for the Stone Man to appear.
• The Rock Sovereign arrived and said he had come to witness the first Demon Emperor’s fall, while Wolong asked whether he truly meant to exterminate the transmigrators.
• The Rock Sovereign confirmed that Wolong and the transmigrators must die, then attacked as Wolong called out to the Creator God.
• The Rock Sovereign sensed danger and saw a three-legged mosquito on the other side of the continent repeating Wolong’s words.

Wolong threatened to invoke Su Mo’s attention if the Rock Sovereign killed him, forcing the Rock Sovereign to consider Wolong’s demand to remain Demon Emperor. Watching the standoff, Su Mo took offense at being used as a threat and decided to send down an even larger meteor shower as he prepared to intervene.

• Wolong and Wenhe used their unfinished words as a threat, warning the Rock Sovereign that killing Wolong could trigger a response from a being who might also reach Wenhe.

• Su Mo decided to send down a larger meteor shower, while still intending to spare Wolong as he had promised.
• As Wolong and the Rock Sovereign remained locked in a standoff, Su Mo gently waved his arm.

• Wolong accepted that he had lost and chose not to make one last gamble.
• A sudden change erupted in the sky.

The Spider Heavenly Emperor attacked the Stone Heavenly Emperor while he was protecting the world from a meteor shower, and the two began a fierce battle high above the ground. As the Stone Heavenly Emperor struggled against his stronger opponent, the Stone Men fell asleep and the ant queen, Dark Tiga, and the demons who had betrayed Wolong reconsidered what to do.

• The Stone Heavenly Emperor fought the Spider Heavenly Emperor with powerful punches and the meteorite, wounding him despite the disparity in their size and rank.

• The Stone Men on the ground began falling asleep as the battle continued.
• The ant queen, Dark Tiga, and the demons who had betrayed Wolong fell silent, uncertain what to do if the Stone Heavenly Emperor died.

The Ant Queen decided to kill the wounded Wolong so she could become Demon Emperor if the Rock Sovereign died, while the Dark Tigas stayed united and let her act.

• Rain poured down, and Wenhe felt an unexplained pang of dread from across the continent.

Wolong was killed after Xu Shilun struck his soul and the ant queen attacked, but the Demon Emperor spent his final strength sending his remaining fortune to Wenhe. The demons mourned the Demon Emperor as Xu Shilun escaped pursuit, and Wenhe received the golden light and heard the Emperor’s last words.

• Wolong froze when Xu Shilun attacked his soul, allowing the ant queen to strike and the Demon Emperor to behead him.
• As he died, the Demon Emperor recalled the loyal demon marshals and sent his remaining fortune and final words to Wenhe.
• The ant queens and Dark Tigas chased the golden light while Xu Shilun fled Wolong’s body and the Dark Tigas split to pursue them both.
• The golden light entered a cloud-formed Black Dragon, whose red eyes shed tears as the demons mourned the Demon Emperor.
• Xu Shilun fled and reflected on his identity as an imperfect copy and on the Dark Tigas he had created in the previous epoch.
• Wenhe received the golden light and wept as the Demon Emperor’s words reached him.

After Wolong died, Wenhe grieved as his strength surged to Peak Third Stage, then vowed to recover Wolong’s corpse and avenge him. He gathered the surviving Starry Sky Giant Mosquitoes and prepared to create the Blood Skull Gu by merging the Demon Race into himself.

• Wolong’s final message left Wenhe mourning their shared battles and friendship.
• With power from another Demon Emperor and the Demon Race’s fortune, Wenhe rose to Peak Third Stage.

• Wenhe declared that he would create the Blood Skull Gu and merge the Demon Race into himself so they could live together.

• Wenhe set out to kill those responsible for Wolong’s death, believing force was the way to unite the demons against the Stone Men.
• After three days of debate, the Ant Queen decided to dismember Wolong’s body and use its nourishing flesh to cultivate a new body.
• The demons at Fallen Dragon Pit remained uncertain about the Stone Men’s rule while the Stone Men lay unconscious and Stone Heavenly Emperor did not appear.
• The Ant Clan finished carrying away Wolong’s flesh, leaving his crystalline skeleton, which tens of thousands of ants lifted.
• Dark Tiga recognized millions of approaching Starry Sky Giant Mosquitoes and identified Wenhe at their head as a peak third-stage Demon Emperor.
• Wenhe saw Wolong’s skeleton from afar as he arrived at Fallen Dragon Pit.

Wenhe attacked the Dark Tigas after finding the remains of the Wolong Demon Emperor, while the Stone Heavenly Emperor’s body and soul continued to succumb to the Spider Heavenly Emperor’s poison. Yu Jiemo escaped in a Stone Man body, and Wenhe began laughing as he faced the Tigas.

• Wenhe saw the giant ants carrying the enormous skeleton and the lake of blood, then roared in fury and pursued the Dark Tigas.
• Wenhe spread his Demon Emperor Domain over the fifty thousand Dark Tigas, preventing them from fleeing as they protested their innocence and threatened him.
• After six days of poisoning, the Stone Heavenly Emperor’s body and soul began to corrode, so he persuaded Yu Jiemo to help him escape.
• Yu Jiemo’s soul escaped into a Stone Man body through a spatial jump, and the Spider Heavenly Emperor chose not to pursue him.
• Wenhe laughed wildly and recited, “Evading heaven’s will, avoiding karma, myriad shackles bind the true self...”

Wenhe, consumed by grief over Wolong’s death, slaughtered the Dark Tigas while taunting Heaven and pushing toward the fourth stage. Su Mo watched and decided Wenhe had to die, though he waited as Wenhe’s breakthrough neared.

• Wenhe surrounded the Dark Tigas and Ant Queen, killing the creatures in a furious rampage while leaving the Ant Queen for last.
• Wenhe mourned Wolong and declared that he would finish what his brother had wanted, dismissing the mission and the Heavenly Dao as he challenged Heaven to kill him.
• Heaven struck Wenhe with lightning, but Wenhe ignored his wounds and continued his mad assault as more lightning gathered overhead.
• Su Mo watched from the starry sky and judged Wenhe’s insanity-powered breakthrough useful but too dangerous to leave alive.
• Su Mo decided to kill Wenhe, but waited because Wenhe was on the verge of reaching the fourth stage.

Su Mo returned to the real world after Wenhe’s demonic breakthrough triggered a devastating heavenly tribulation, while Yu Jiemo mourned the dead at the scorched battlefield. Su Mo then heard a call from worshippers offering sacrifices and remembered he had left them waiting.

• Wenhe broke through to the Fourth Stage, became the Demon Emperor and Devil Emperor, and transformed the Starry Sky Giant Mosquitoes into a new race Su Mo named the Heavenly Demons.
• Su Mo’s Creator God level rose to the Third Stage, allowing him to leave the Microcosm, and he destroyed Wenhe’s domain with lightning before returning to reality.
• Viewers saw Wolong’s and Wenhe’s livestreams disappear and realized both Demon Emperors had died, though they did not know how Wenhe had been killed.
• Yu Jiemo visited the scorched earth where Xu Shilun, Wolong, and Wenhe had died and shed a tear as he realized he was alone again.
• Su Mo sat in his lounge chair, then paused when he sensed people offering sacrifices and calling to him.

Su Mo considered how to stop people in the real world from summoning him, weighing executions and erasing their memories before contemplating devouring the universe. The chapter ended with him still analyzing the idea of destroying the world to silence the worshippers.

• Su Mo sensed that cultists and other groups had begun praying to and summoning him after Yu Jiemo announced their contact.
• Su Mo judged that his Divine Rank was powerful enough to draw the attention of higher beings, so he decided he had to stop the summons.
• Su Mo considered killing those who summoned him, but rejected the plan because fearless fanatics could keep trying and others would take their place.
• Su Mo considered erasing everyone’s memories of him, but worried that changing the whole world might attract attention from above.
• Su Mo spent half an hour considering whether he could devour the universe and merge it into his Microcosm.

Over ten years in the Microcosm, the Stone Men multiplied and spread while the Rock Sovereign ruled them and became the Demon Emperor. Su Mo found a solution to the crisis, but Big Pineapple, Wang Jianzhi, and Liu Dajun remained isolated in their last one-person instances.

• The Rock Sovereign rescued Yu Jiemo, found him mindlessly wandering, and left him alive as a possible successor and safeguard.
• The Rock Sovereign ruled the Stone Men and Demon Race, moved the Demons north, and promised to limit the Stone Men’s expansion.
• The Starry Sky Giant Mosquitoes vanished, and Devils began appearing in groups, driving possessed beings into destructive madness.
• The Ant Clan declined as Heavenly Demons repeatedly killed newly emerged ant queens, a pattern the Rock Sovereign allowed to continue.
• Big Pineapple, Wang Jianzhi, and Liu Dajun each remained trapped in a solitary instance, unaware of events outside.
• After thinking for half an hour, Su Mo finally devised a solution to the problem.

Su Mo chose to use mosquitoes that could turn intangible to kill people who prayed to, sacrificed to, or plotted against him, rather than destroy or absorb Earth. After he sent them into his inner world, they attacked a secret chamber, leaving eight terrified survivors who reported the deaths to their superiors.

• Su Mo decided to keep Earth intact and use mosquitoes to deal with anyone who caused trouble or formed a channel to him through prayer or sacrifice.
• Su Mo enlarged one mosquito to demonstrate its size and abilities, including turning intangible and attacking through the brain.
• Su Mo sent the mosquitoes into his inner world and returned to his recliner.
• The mosquitoes killed most of the more than eighty people in a secret chamber where black-robed people had been praying and offering sacrifices.
• Eight people survived because they had no connection to Su Mo, but they panicked as they watched bodies disappear and reported the deaths to their superiors.

A worldwide wave of inexplicable deaths was traced to an invisible life-form that attacked human brains and consumed bodies, earning the provisional name [Ghost]. As the deaths continued, another hundred years passed within the Microcosm, and the Stone Heavenly Emperor reached the peak of the fourth stage, ready to slay the Spider Heavenly Emperor and enter the universe.

• People around the world suddenly died from unexplained brain damage, with no apparent connection between the victims.
• Authorities and experts tried to investigate and prepare quarantines, but the corpses rapidly vanished until only skin remained.
• Several experts also died during examinations, and researchers concluded that an unseen life-form was consuming the victims’ flesh and blood.
• Researchers provisionally named the invisible creature [Ghost], while protective measures and prayers failed to stop the growing death toll.
• Another hundred years passed in the Microcosm, and the Stone Heavenly Emperor reached the peak fourth stage and prepared to slay the Spider Heavenly Emperor before heading into the universe.

The Rock Sovereign prepared to fight the Spider Heavenly Emperor, whose presence blocked both his ascent and the Stone Men’s path to the fifth stage. Big Pineapple realized that the Rock Sovereign had kept him, Liu Dajun, and Wang Jianzhi alive so their fragments could continue growing stronger.

• The Rock Sovereign’s Stone Men had consumed half the world, but reaching the fifth stage would require devouring everything.
• The Demon Race endured floods and meteor showers, living as wanderers or relying on powerful demons for shelter.
• The Rock Sovereign believed he could defeat the Spider Heavenly Emperor and planned to spread Stone Men across planets to gather enough matter for his breakthrough.
• The Stone Heavenly Emperor flew toward the sky to confront the Spider Heavenly Emperor.
• Big Pineapple understood that the Rock Sovereign had spared him, Liu Dajun, and Wang Jianzhi to keep their fragments producing more power.

The Rock Sovereign kept Big Pineapple, Liu Dajun, and Wang Jianzhi captive, harvesting them to strengthen the Demon Race and pursue his ambition to escape the Spider Heavenly Emperor’s cage. As the Rock Sovereign and the Spider Heavenly Emperor fought as equals, their battle shattered the sky and devastated the world.

• The Rock Sovereign imprisoned Big Pineapple, Liu Dajun, and Wang Jianzhi and repeatedly harvested them to cultivate demon kings.
• The Rock Sovereign controlled Wang Jianzhi by threatening the revived Asuras, then repeatedly enraged and harvested him until he went mad.
• The Rock Sovereign pursued his plan to break the Spider Heavenly Emperor’s cage and become the world’s one and only, unaware that everyone and the universe were destined to perish.
• The Rock Sovereign and the Spider Heavenly Emperor clashed as peak fourth-stage beings, shattering the sky and unleashing spatial turbulence.
• The battle’s aftermath killed a late third-stage tiger demon king and began destroying the world.

Stone Heavenly Emperor fought Spider Heavenly Emperor for seven days, but the battle’s devastation drove the Demon Race to the brink of extinction and left the world nearly uninhabitable. Facing the deaths below, Stone Heavenly Emperor returned to the ground without killing Spider Heavenly Emperor.

• Stone Heavenly Emperor and Spider Heavenly Emperor fought across the sky, and their attacks tore open the world and killed countless beings below.
• After seven days, Spider Heavenly Emperor remained alive, though badly wounded, while his poisonous mist corroded Stone Heavenly Emperor’s body and soul.
• Stone Heavenly Emperor looked down and saw that nearly ninety percent of the Demon Race had died, marine life was poisoned, and the land was covered with ravines and toxic swamps.
• Stone Heavenly Emperor realized the Demon Race could not survive another three days of fighting and returned to the ground, having suffered a crushing loss.

Stone Heavenly Emperor saved the surviving Demon Race from the poisonous gas while the world continued shrinking and the Stone Men consumed its matter. With the Demon Race still lacking another Fourth Stage being, he decided to kill one of his captive Fourth Stage prisoners, create a new world, and break through to the Fifth Stage.

• Stone Heavenly Emperor left after concluding that fighting Spider Heavenly Emperor would doom the Demon Race, and Spider Heavenly Emperor let him go rather than risk being killed.
• Stone Heavenly Emperor gathered the surviving Stone Men and had them build a shelter, where Rock Sovereign used Liu Dajun's protective power to drive some poison from dying Demon Race members.
• Over five years, many Demon Race members died, while survivors developed poison resistance; the Stone Men population grew to 2.5 billion as the world shrank to less than a fifth of its original size.
• Stone Heavenly Emperor brought back a planetary fragment to replenish matter, but it could feed the Stone Men for less than a week, and the rules of heaven and earth prevented Fourth Stage beings from remaining in space for long.
• Stone Heavenly Emperor considered killing one of his captive Fourth Stage beings to replenish Spiritual Qi, then creating another world, and resolved to break through to the Fifth Stage.
