Chapter Summaries

Qin Ze divined the fate of a drop of his blood before giving a clone’s blood to Echo in exchange for help escaping the doomed world. As the world collapsed and its Dominator emerged to devour it, Echo prepared to send Qin Ze away.

• Qin Ze used the Skill of the God cards to divine that both his own blood and his clone’s blood had a “no blame” fate, while his allies debated whether to give Echo the blood.
• Miss Sword Case warned that Echo might misuse the blood but would pay a heavy price, so Qin Ze sent him a drop from a clone.
• Echo accepted the blood and promised to get Qin Ze out when the world was annihilated, admitting that he would send him away before the clawed woman could catch him.
• An hour later, the sky burned, the earth shook, and a fissure swallowed the primitive Molten Steel People as the world began to collapse.
• A shapeless Dominator emerged from the fissure and devoured the world while Echo wrapped Qin Ze in a film of water and prepared to send him away.

Qin Ze escaped the Dominator’s destruction with Echo’s help and traveled to the blue world where Zi Yue was located. He entered a modern human civilization, evaded local drones, and discovered that its cities were arranged inside a box-like space.

• The Dominator shattered into green stars, and Echo moved Qin Ze out of reach of the demonic claw.
• Echo spoke with the voice in the demonic claw, which revealed that Qin Ze had Desolate God blood and vowed to find them both.
• Qin Ze followed his bracelet to a blue nebula, and Echo offered him a route out of Chaos that he declined.
• Qin Ze entered the blue world and found a modern city, where spherical drones searched the place he had appeared.
• Qin Ze followed his bracelet’s upward signal and saw cities in several directions, realizing that he was inside a box.

Qin Ze searched for Zi Yue in a strange box-shaped world, but the bracelet continued pointing beyond the planet’s core. A divine selection announcement led him to a plaza, where he saw a woman identical to Nangong Qianrou and recognized a heavily augmented man as Number Three.

• Qin Ze crossed the world’s gravity boundary and searched underground for Zi Yue, but found no trace of her despite the bracelet pointing deeper than the planet’s core.
• A drone announced that the god would select residents in three hours, and Qin Ze followed the crowd to the central plaza to meet the world’s god.
• Qin Ze saw a huge Spirit transmission device in the plaza and suspected the world might have a Spirit of Eternal Life.
• A Level Five Martial Artist with cybernetic prostheses emerged from the tower with a woman in silver armor who looked identical to Nangong Qianrou.
• Qin Ze studied the augmented man and recognized him as Number Three.

Qin Ze and his companions witnessed the divine selection and discovered that the transmission device was collecting Spirits for a hidden purpose. They followed Number Three and Senior Nangong through the device and arrived in the ruins of a desolate city called the heavenly kingdom.

• Qin Ze grew uneasy at the thought of meeting another version of himself, but Miss Sword Case reassured him that his experiences made him Qin Ze.
• Qin Ze realized the overlap between Chaos and the Abyss was no coincidence and suspected he knew where Bai Chi's Spirit was.
• Number Three announced the divine selection, and the transmission device separated more than twenty thousand Low-Level Martial Artists from half of their Spirits, leaving them asleep.
• Cyborgs carried away the sleeping martial artists, while Number Three urged those left behind to keep taking Spirit-tempering liquid.
• Qin Ze and Miss Sword Case followed Senior Nangong and Number Three through the transmission device and emerged in the ruins of a desolate city.

Qin Ze discovered that the ruined world outside the Inner World was the real Outer World, and that God had turned its survivors into a source of nourishment. Following the bracelet to the Sky Island, he found Zi Yue imprisoned in a laboratory.

• Qin Ze realized that he and his companions had reached the Outer World, a war-ravaged land linked to the Inner World by controlled spatial gates.
• Qin Ze pieced together how God had won a war between technology and martial arts, driven people into the Inner World, and deceived them with promises of heaven.
• Qin Ze followed the bracelet toward the Sky Island, believing Zi Yue had been captured but was still safe from being devoured.
• Qin Ze saw Spirits used to power mechs and dismissed the Spirit Walker clones' requests to pilot them.
• Qin Ze reached a core laboratory and found Zi Yue's Spirit suspended in a transparent container.

Qin Ze rescued Zi Yue from the laboratory and defeated the Spirit of Eternal Life, then prepared to leave with her. As the Blue Nebula spread across the sky, a familiar pursuer found him again.

• Qin Ze broke into the laboratory, killed the researchers with a mental impact, and freed Zi Yue from the jar.
• Qin Ze swept aside the guards and returned to the landing pad with Zi Yue, where Number Three and Senior Nangong waited beside the Spirit of Eternal Life.
• The Spirit of Eternal Life asked Qin Ze about the outside world and demanded Zi Yue so he could gain enough strength to escape the dying world.
• Qin Ze refused, defeated the gathered fighters, and destroyed the Spirit of Eternal Life with a dragon of mental power.
• As Qin Ze prepared to return with Zi Yue, the Blue Nebula appeared and a familiar voice said it had found him again.

The goddess breached the Chaos World’s defenses and destroyed Sky Island, forcing Qin Ze and his allies into battle against her forces. Qin Ze’s clones and Spirit Walkers fought back with mechs, while the goddess’s demonic claw loomed over the battlefield.

• The goddess summoned an army of flesh-rebuilt tanks and fighters, which bombarded Sky Island until its defenses nearly failed.
• The goddess projected a demonic claw into the Chaos World, broke Sky Island’s barrier, and tore the island in two.
• Qin Ze told Miss Sword Case to store Zi Yue’s Spirit, then led his allies into battle as Sky Island crashed to the ground.
• The Spirit Walker clones piloted mechs and used chainsaws and blades to attack the enemy tanks and fighters.
• Heavenly King and the other clones charged from Sky Island’s wreckage and scattered the enemy forces.
• Mist Lord stopped Magician from using his powers, fearing they might strengthen the enemies.

Qin Ze and his allies fought the goddess’s demonic claw while she summoned a giant monster from the ruins, and the battle turned increasingly desperate. The Magician finally offered to break the deadlock and commanded the clones to slit their own throats.

• Qin Ze, Brother Devour, and the Dharma King attacked the demonic claw, but the goddess warned Qin Ze to surrender the Source of God before the world was destroyed.
• The goddess fused nearby ruins, vehicles, and aircraft into a massive four-legged monster that attacked the Spirit Walker clones.
• Miss Sword Case warned Qin Ze that Bai Chi’s Spirit might dissipate if it did not return to her body soon.
• A Bing called for help, so the Mist Lord released the Magician and joined the battle, covering the monster and clones with Fog of War.
• The Magician invoked the clones’ strength and ordered them to slit their own throats.

Magician used the Skill of the God Great Return to the Furnace to collapse the world and return it to its moment of birth, escaping the goddess’s attack in the ensuing explosion. A new world formed beneath a pale green nebula.

• Qin Ze charged the Strange Gods, drew their attention, and hurled Miss Sword Case through their encirclement toward the Spirit Clan.

Qin Ze was cornered by the Strange Gods in Chaos and used Echo’s conch to bargain for a way out. After giving Echo a piece of his Spirit, he vanished onto the route to the Abyss, leaving the Goddess furious and unable to stop him.

• Demon Claw ordered the Strange Gods to pin Qin Ze down while the Goddess pursued Miss Sword Case.
• Qin Ze, exhausted and surrounded, blew Echo’s conch and asked Echo to take him onto the route.
• Echo offered to send Qin Ze safely onto the route in exchange for a piece of his Spirit, while the Goddess warned him against trusting Echo.
• Qin Ze had his clone sever a piece of Spirit and traded it to Echo through the conch.
• Echo enveloped Qin Ze in a multicolored film of water and sent him onto the route, provoking the Goddess’s rage.

Qin Ze traveled through Chaos with Echo’s help and learned that he would have to fight other Strange Gods to claim the route back to the Abyss. He emerged inside a barrier beside two weakened competitors and discovered an immature Chaos Egg that could let him return between worlds.

• Echo offered Qin Ze a deal to defeat the competitors for him, but Qin Ze chose to fight first and trade only if he could not win.
• Brother Devour reasoned that the competitors were likely the weakest Strange Gods, and Qin Ze agreed they might be beatable.

• Qin Ze discovered that the nearby Chaos Egg would mature in under twenty-four hours and that the Source of the World could speed it up.
• Qin Ze decided the Chaos Egg was his.

Qin Ze matured the Chaos Egg and launched himself into another dimension, leaving the Strange Gods behind. Back in the Spirit Clan's forbidden grounds, Zi Yue awakened and learned through her recovered memories that Qin Ze had been swallowed, but Miss Sword Case sensed his return and rushed after him.

• Miss Sword Case broke through the flying beasts and rushed into Qin Ze’s arms, glad to be reunited with him.

Qin Ze and the Circus fought the exotic beasts, but the Faceless Beast’s ability to distort their aim caused their attacks to hit allies. The battle remained unresolved as Niuniu-chan arrived to join the fight.

• Thousand Faces slipped through Dharma King’s lightning and knocked him down, impressing Gui Gui with his speed and strength.
• Thousand Faces evaded the Circus’s attacks, defeated several clones and Mist Lord, and revealed that Gui Gui’s weak point was its belly.
• Gui Gui kept withdrawing its head to avoid attacks and used gravity to help its minions overwhelm Dharma King and the other Heavenly Kings.
• Qin Ze and Brother Devour were beaten back as the Faceless Beast changed their locked-on target into Dharma King.
• Miss Sword Case suggested they stop looking at the Faceless Beast, and Qin Ze used mental power to locate it and punch it in the chest.

• Qin Ze and Brother Devour combined their abilities to shatter the Faceless Beast’s Spiritual Sea of Consciousness and badly wound it.

The Spirit Clan leader explained how divine Sequences, inheritances, and backup heirs worked, then revealed that the God of Machinery and the Desolate God had both been Apostate Gods during the War of the Gods.
