Redding established the Four Divine Beasts on Crimson Island and sent his Lightning and Life Divine Clones, under the alias Leijia, to seek a foothold in another Overgod Plane. Leijia reached the Life Divine Realm, joined the Heavenly Wind Tribe, and became its deputy chief after advancing to Highgod.

• Redding chose External Godhood, formed a Water Element Divine Clone, and trained Laius, Nemo, and Bowen until they became gods and developed more Divine Clones.

• Redding killed Frost and later the scar-faced stall owner, recovered a soul-altering Heaven and Earth Wonder, and fought Luolie and Crimson Island’s Highgod elders.
• Redding made Luolie accept a Soul Seed and manage Crimson Island, while Laius stayed to recruit experts and collect Heaven and Earth Wonders.
• Redding sent Leijia to find another Overgod Plane, and Leijia traveled through the Chaotic Sea to Black Kun Island, where Uhtred granted him access to the planar teleportation array.

• Leijia broke through to Highgod after fusing most of Lightning’s fourth profound mystery, and the Heavenly Wind chief appointed him deputy chief.
• Leijia began studying the Heavenly Wind Tribe’s Divine Beasts as Redding continued researching the Four Divine Beasts’ Combined Innate Divine Ability.

Redding and Leijia gathered allies, claimed Sovereign Sparks, and helped establish Heavenly Sacrifice City before the creation of the Water Divine Plane. The stretch ended with Redding baiting Tristan and Oliver into pursuing him, then feigning weakness as he fought Oliver.

• Leijia defeated Chief Lieshan and the Heavenly Wind Tribe’s defenders, forced Lieshan to submit, and ordered the twelve tribes to form an alliance.
• Redding and his companions gathered Amethysts in the Mist Sea, where Redding and Leiyuan sparred before Redding’s Fate Divine Clone became a Highgod.

• Redding and his allies built Heavenly Sacrifice City, which grew into a major settlement before the Water Sovereigns were summoned to create a Divine Plane.

• Leijia met Uhtred in the Spatial Turbulence, shared insights with him, and later found a fragment of a Sovereign Artifact while traveling toward the Life Divine Realm.
• As the Fire Sovereigns formed their plane, Tristan pursued Redding, who lured Oliver into attacking him and pretended that Oliver’s hammer blow had given him the advantage.
