Chapter Summaries

Chu Ye defended himself before the gods by revealing that Poseidon had repeatedly violated the Divine Realm's laws and tried to kill him. The God of Time verified Chu Ye's memories, leaving the gods convinced and making a death sentence unlikely, though the Asura God still sought a way to eliminate him.

• Chu Ye told the gods that Poseidon had interfered in mortal affairs to protect his successor, Tang San, and had sent a Divine Official to kill him.
• Chu Ye argued that Poseidon had intended to kill him during the Divine Realm's mission and that he had only resisted to protect himself and his family.
• At the God of Goodness's request, the God of Time extracted Chu Ye's memories and used Time Rewind to show Poseidon's actions.
• The gods saw proof of Poseidon's crimes and condemned him, while Chu Ye gained more support and the prospect of a death sentence diminished.
• The Asura God clenched his fists and resolved not to let the opportunity to eliminate the Dragon God Successor pass.

Chu Ye faced a God Realm vote after Asura God pushed for an extreme punishment over Sea God’s death. As the gods overwhelmingly supported five layers of punishment, abolishing Chu Ye’s power, and ten thousand years in prison, Chu Ye finally erupted in anger.

• Asura God declared that Chu Ye should be punished for killing Sea God and proposed five layers of punishment, the abolition of his power, and ten thousand years in God Prison.
• God of War, Slaughter God, and many other gods backed Asura God, while the God of Goodness and Goddess of Life objected that the sentence was excessive.

• Qian Renxue restrained Chu Ye and urged him not to act impulsively, and Chu Ye assured her he would not drive everyone into a dead end.
• As the gods continued declaring their support, Chu Ye snapped and shouted, “Agree with your mother!!!”

Chu Ye accepted the God of Destruction’s challenge and agreed to defeat the opposing Second-level and Third-level Gods within a year of God Realm time, then face the God King with Qian Renxue at his side. After the gods left the Law Enforcement Hall, his allies worried that the challenge would be far beyond their strength.

• Chu Ye accepted the God of Destruction’s challenge and requested freedom to travel between the God Realm and the Dragon Tomb; Qian Renxue asked to join him in the final fight, and the God of Destruction agreed.

• After the Fire God and Seven Elemental Gods left, Chu Ye’s companions questioned whether he could face the God King, recalling how hard it had been for them to kill even one First-level God.

Chu Ye assessed the threat posed by the God of Destruction and planned four ways to grow stronger before the coming battles. He headed to the dueling arena to face the Divine Realm’s Second-level and Third-level Gods, while the gods gathered and argued over who would fight him first.

• Chu Ye told Bibi Dong that he had less than a ten percent chance of defeating the God of Destruction now, but believed five years of cultivation could change that.
• Chu Ye planned to temper his Dragon God's Body in the Dragon Tomb, help Qian Renxue master the Angel God's power, rescue the Golden Dragon King to awaken Dragon God's Wings, and absorb a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring when the time was right.

Chu Ye defeated the God of Speed by reading her movements, baiting her into an attack, and countering with his Spirit Bone Set and Light Xin Form. The God of Speed conceded and returned to the spectator platform, while the Third-level Gods complained that she had not forced Chu Ye to reveal more of his strength.

• The God of Speed activated her Speed God Domain and attacked Chu Ye at high speed, but he tracked, blocked, or evaded every strike.

Chu Ye fought the God of War, a top-tier Second-level God, and defeated him after a fierce, evenly matched battle. Although the gods were shocked by Chu Ye’s strength, his condition was nearing its limit, and the wounded God of War rose to warn him not to celebrate too soon.

After defeating the God of War, Chu Ye dismissed his claim that the fight had revealed Chu Ye’s limit and recovered before resuming his challenge against the gods. The Slaughter God coordinated with several Second-level Gods, who took turns fighting Chu Ye, and Chu Ye realized they were trying to wear him down before his deadline.
