After becoming a three-element soul mutant, Andrew planned to travel to the Infernal Realm once he became a Midgod and asked Beirut to help his parents reach the Saint-level. Beirut prepared two special Divine Sparks for them, and Andrew returned home to reveal his new power, allow Herbert to train under protection, and give the Divine Sparks to Janice and Howard.

• Andrew sent Fukelaisi to secretly protect Herbert as he left home to temper himself.
• Andrew built a retreat on Azure Dragon Mountain, where he studied water and continued advancing his fire and lightning profound mysteries.
• Andrew discovered that he could not merge his water divine power with his lightning-and-fire Fusion Battle-qi, and he examined the unusual golden Light of Innate Divine Ability within his soul.

• Andrew finally fused Shattering and Explosion, then split his soul and entered two Divine Sparks to become a deity in lightning and fire.

After strengthening his souls and testing his fused Divine Power, Andrew prepared to leave the Yulan Continent for the Infernal Realm. He arrived on the Kalosha Continent instead of his expected destination and waited with other newcomers as a gigantic black tiger approached.

Andrew traveled with the Black Armor Army across the Kalosha Continent toward the Blackstone Mountains, learning about the Infernal Realm and cultivating Fire and Lightning profound mysteries. After decades of flight and repeated bandit attacks, the group reached the vast mountain range.

• Haiyinsipu assigned the newcomers to the Blackstone Mountains and transported them inside a golden eagle Metallic Lifeform.
• Haiyinsipu explained that they were on the Kalosha Continent, ruled by Sovereign Kalosha, and described the Infernal Realm’s continents and oceans.
• Andrew began comprehending the Fire and Lightning Element profound mysteries during the journey, making progress toward mastering both.
• Haiyinsipu used the eagle’s fiery beam to repel bandits who attacked the Black Armor Army’s Metallic Lifeform.
• After three more years of travel, Haiyinsipu announced their arrival, and Andrew followed the Black Armor Army out toward the Blackstone Mountains.

Andrew was assigned to mine blackstone crystal for the Silinman Clan, but he suspected the clan’s manager, Baitelaimu, and began looking for a way to leave. After surviving a soul attack in the mine, Andrew started using the nearly indestructible stone wall to develop a new saber move.

• Haiyinsipu handed Andrew and the other newcomers over to the Silinman Clan, whose manager Baitelaimu assigned them to Mine Three and explained the value of blackstone crystal.
• Andrew sensed an evil aura from Baitelaimu and suspected the clan would treat the newcomers like laborers, so he studied the mine’s guards and considered escaping.
• Baitelaimu gave each newcomer an entry and exit token and told them they could join the Silinman Clan after handing over ten thousand pieces of blackstone crystal.
• Andrew entered the mine cavern and discovered that an invisible soul attack killed several Saint-level newcomers, while Lowgods could withstand it.
• Andrew found the mine’s stone too hard for his Godslaying Saber to cut, though his fused divine power made a small crater in it.
• Andrew began seeking insights into a new ultimate saber move, building on his fused Fire and Lightning powers.

Andrew created the ultimate move Origin, found that Blackstone Crystals offered only slight physical benefits, and endured increasingly powerful soul pulses in the mine. After successfully fusing his lightning and fire profound mysteries, he became a Midgod.

• Andrew realized speed was the missing element in his ultimate move, then used a single swift strike to smash a distant stone wall and named the move Origin.
• Andrew found five Blackstone Crystals, discovered that refining them slightly strengthened his body, and absorbed them all.
• A soul pulse struck the mine every ten years, growing stronger each time, and Andrew suspected the Silinman Clan had hidden the danger from the miners.
• Andrew continued cultivating and mining, absorbing thousands of Blackstone Crystals while preparing to escape by becoming a Midgod.
• After the fourth pulse, Andrew successfully fused his lightning and fire profound mysteries, and the Laws of the World transformed his Divine Sparks as he reached Midgod.

After spending fifty years cultivating and mining in the Blackstone Mountains, Andrew prepared to leave the Infernal Realm’s mine and meet the Silinman Clan’s resistance. He confronted Baitelaimu for a map, and Baitelaimu vowed the clan would kill him.

• Andrew assessed his new Midgod strength, tested Origin with the Godslaying Saber, and continued refining his control over the attack.
• Andrew mined millions of blackstone crystals, used them to strengthen his body, and decided to leave after the sixth fluctuation.
• Andrew reflected on his family’s progress over the decades, including Janice becoming a deity, Han Yue and Ling'er becoming Saint-level Magi, and Herbert marrying and having children.
• Andrew left Mine Three and offered Baitelaimu ten blackstone crystals before demanding a map of the Kalosha Continent.
• Baitelaimu refused, citing the Silinman Clan’s rules, but Andrew pressured him and threatened to kill him for the map.
• Baitelaimu resisted with Destruction divine power and declared that Andrew would die for challenging the Silinman Clan.

Andrew killed Baitelaimu and a squad of Silinman Clan Highgods after refusing to join them, then traveled across Kunsha Prefecture to White Mastiff City. He settled into the city and planned to visit the Fiend Castle the next day.

Andrew registered for the Fiend Trial, sold surplus Divine Sparks and artifacts, and spent much of his wealth on amethyst that strengthened his soul.

• A plump fiend explained that first-time participants had to obtain a Golden Badge from the bandits, while the fiends would handle the strongest enemies.
• Andrew welcomed the dangerous mission, thinking the bandits' wealth would be an easy windfall.

Andrew and the assessment participants attacked the Golden Hammer Gang on Mount Yufu, where they faced Kuabu Meien, a powerful bandit with a devastating battle formation. After Kuabu Meien revealed his Highgod artifacts and Sovereign's Might, he transformed the fight into a deadly pursuit, while Andrew stayed out of the battle.

• Andrew and the other assessment participants flew to Mount Yufu and killed its patrols on the way up, but found no Golden Badges.
• At the summit, Kuabu Meien and more than a hundred Highgods attacked the group with a powerful Soul Attack, killing over twenty participants.
• The five Fiends broke apart the bandits' battle formation as Kuabu Meien killed assessment participants; soon, only Kuabu Meien and a small group of assessors remained.
• Kuabu Meien brought out Highgod armor and a spear, then revealed a droplet of Sovereign's Might as the Fiends and remaining assessors fled.
• Kuabu Meien merged with the Sovereign's Might, created dozens of clones, and pursued the fleeing group while Andrew watched from the sidelines.

Andrew killed Kuabu Meien with his Dragon Roar after surviving the bandit chief’s Sovereign’s Might, then collected the fallen examinees’ treasures.

• The remaining Fiends attacked together, but their physical and soul strikes barely affected Andrew, whose golden dragon soul repelled their soul attacks.
• Andrew charged into the group and burst the heads of seven Fiends; the survivors tried to flee.

• Kepulang struck Andrew repeatedly with a concealed sword technique, but Andrew emerged unharmed and challenged him to attack again.

Andrew battled Kepulang, overpowering him with his Origin sword strike and resisting his soul attack. Kepulang used destruction Sovereign's Might, so Andrew activated his own azure Sovereign's Might, which began transforming his body.

• Andrew struck Kepulang with Origin, breaking through his defense and sending him crashing into a mountain.
• Kepulang launched a soul attack, but Andrew's golden dragon soul crushed it without taking damage.

• Kepulang summoned the Six-Pupiled Serpent and struck Andrew with Soul Banishment, but the Azure Dragon Ring protected Andrew’s soul.
