Rog and Haidisi traveled to the Netherworld, where Rog hoped to find Nether Mountain and advance his understanding of the Death Rule. On their way through Yana Prefecture, they encountered a battle between Harriman and Kingsley that revealed Kingsley’s hidden Divine Beast ability.

• Rog decided to visit the Netherworld with his death divine clone, and Haidisi went with him.

• Dorn urged his side to stop Rog from saving Kingsley, while Marvin blocked their advance.
• Dorn recognized the purple-robed man as Lord Rog from the Infernal Realm.

• After Harriman's death, Dorn ordered the Rogier Clan members to retreat rather than risk angering Rog.

Rog obtained the Light Network Crystal from Kingsley after saving his life, then traveled with Haidisi to Nether Mountain to investigate its three-colored mist and Heaven and Earth Chains. As Rog prepared to enter the mountain, a young man named Kewen warned him that touching the lightning chains would kill him.

• Rog asked Kingsley for the Light Network Crystal, and Kingsley offered it in return for Rog's help if the Milo Clan ever needed him.
• Kingsley gave Rog the golden, six-sided crystal at the Milo Clan estate, and Rog and Haidisi departed for Nether Mountain.
• After traveling for more than fifty years, Rog and Haidisi reached Nether Mountain and saw its three-colored mists and countless lightning chains.
• Rog told Haidisi to wait outside and flew toward the chains, but Kewen hurried over and warned him not to enter.

Rog went to Nether Mountain to cultivate with the lightning power of the Heaven and Earth Chains, not to seek the Nether Fruit. He endured the mountain’s lightning and pressure, then studied its electromagnetic forces as he began developing new ways to control and trap opponents.

• Rog declined the young man in green’s warning and tested the Heaven and Earth Chains, enduring their lightning with his defenses and mastery of the Laws of Lightning.
• Kewen and the young man in green told Rog that the entrance to Nether Mountain lay at its northern foot, but Rog said he had come to cultivate rather than seek the Nether Fruit.
• Rog entered Nether Mountain and felt its crushing pressure reduce his divine sense to about a hundred meters while the lack of gravity caused him to float.
• Rog recognized that the mountain’s attraction and lightning demonstrated applications of the Profound Mystery of Electromagnetic Space.

• Haidisi waited at the Nether Hotel near Nether Mountain, unwilling to enter because its lightning was too dangerous for her.

• Haidisi killed the green-haired man with her Dancing Cold Serpent technique, and the three remaining brothers glared at her.
• The woman in charge of the hotel appeared and approached the three brothers.

After Haidisi saw the woman in green kill the brothers who violated the Nether Hotel’s rules, she resolved to risk everything searching for a Nether Fruit on Nether Mountain. On the full-moon night, she joined the Highgods gathering at the mountain’s northern gate, while Rog had entered by another route.

• The woman in green killed Laier and his two remaining brothers for fighting and harassing women in the Nether Hotel, then apologized to the guests whose meal she had interrupted.
• The Highgods discussed Haidisi’s strength and the danger of competing for a Nether Fruit, while Haidisi decided to try despite Rog’s lack of interest in becoming a Sovereign’s Emissary.
• Haidisi wondered what she meant to Rog and reflected that her cultivation might have reached its limit at the Seven-Star Fiend level.
• On the night of the full moon, Haidisi and several dozen others gathered at Nether Mountain’s northern gate as its mist and protective chains weakened.
• The Highgods entered Nether Mountain in groups or alone, while Haidisi looked toward the direction where Rog had entered by another route.

Rog continued training on Nether Mountain while his Light God Clone learned that a one-horned Divine Beast on Dazzling Light Island had killed several Seven-Star Fiends and fought the Prefect of Inkcloud Prefecture. After watching a Floating Shadow of the expert effortlessly kill a powerful Wind Element Seven-Star Fiend, Rog suspected he was an Asura-level fighter and became intrigued by his abilities.

• Rog continued training his Lightning Divine Clones on Nether Mountain while his Light God Clone practiced the Laws of Light in the Infernal Realm.
• Gale King Keluoyin reported that his group had found mostly ordinary Light Element Divine Beast blood essence, but relayed a rumor about a powerful Divine Beast on Dazzling Light Island.
• Keluoyin showed Rog a Floating Shadow in which a one-horned man destroyed an azure python and killed a green-browed elder with a single punch.
• Rog recognized that the punch had fused several profound mysteries of Light and concluded that the one-horned man was likely an Asura-level expert.
• Rog turned to the next Floating Shadow, increasingly curious about the one-horned man's strength and talent.

Rog watched a recording of the horned man battling the Prefect of Ink Cloud and concluded that the powerful light-element Divine Beast met his requirements. He set out to meet the man with Ninisha, whose changed appearance stirred unfamiliar feelings in him.

• Rog watched the Prefect of Ink Cloud and the horned man fight to a standstill in a Floating Shadow recording.
• The horned man used his soul-affecting Innate Divine Ability, but the Prefect of Ink Cloud's Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact blocked it, and the horned man flew away.
• Rog decided the horned man was a rare and powerful Divine Beast whose essence blood he hoped to obtain, preferably by subduing him.
• Rog changed his appearance and soul aura before setting out to meet the horned man, and Ninisha changed her appearance and insisted on coming along.
• Rog admired Ninisha's new look and realized he had developed special feelings for her.

Rog and Ninisha traveled across the Chaotic Sea toward Dazzling Light Island, and Ninisha told him about her rise to become a Paragon of the Laws of Lightning and her hope to see worlds beyond their own.

• Rog summoned a golden bird-shaped metallic life-form, and he and Ninisha flew east toward Dazzling Light Island.
• As they crossed the dark Chaotic Sea, Rog reflected on the struggle for survival, and Ninisha recounted her life and her mastery of the Laws of Lightning.
• Ninisha asked Rog to take her beyond their world if he ever found a way to leave it, and Rog promised he would.
• Rog and Ninisha crossed the lawless Chaotic Sea for more than 150 years and finally saw Dazzling Light Island in the distance.

Rog and Ninisha went to Dazzling Light Island to find its master, but learned he had gone to the Beipu Sea to pursue a mysterious tattered crown. They headed there themselves and arrived amid a deadly treasure hunt, where a wounded black-robed youth was fleeing several pursuers.

• Rog and Ninisha searched Dazzling Light Island for its master, but Eugene told them he had gone to the Beipu Sea after a tattered crown appeared in Spatial Turbulence.
• Rog recognized that the crown might be an Overgod Token and left with Ninisha for the Beipu Sea.
• Experts fighting over the crown had killed many people and destroyed several nearby bandit factions.
• A badly wounded black-robed youth reached a nameless island as several pursuers caught up with him.

Mylun was cornered by seven Seven-Star Fiends and threw a crown to distract them, but the treasure became the focus of a fierce scramble. Saerde seized the apparent Sovereign Artifact and tried to flee, only for the young woman in green to unleash Sovereign's Might and pursue him.

• Mylun revealed the Tattered Crown and challenged his pursuers to decide how they would divide it.
• Mylun hurled a crystalline blue crown away, and the seven experts rushed after it, mistaking it for the Sovereign Artifact.
• Adams slowed the red-haired youth with a cold current, but Saerde used his spiked dragon tail to knock them aside and seize the crown.
• Saerde fled with the crown and boasted that it would belong to Lord Saerde.
• The young woman in green detonated a drop of Sovereign's Might, greatly increasing her speed and strength as she closed in on Saerde.

Karina seized the ice-crystal crown with the help of Dylin’s Sovereign’s Might, but Herbart forced her to surrender it and bound the damaged Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact to himself. The other four Asuras confronted Herbart on an unnamed island, expecting him to hand over the crown, but he refused.

• Karina used Destruction Sovereign Power to sever Saerde’s tail and escape with the ice-crystal crown as the pursuing experts closed in.
• Dylin pursued Karina while the Lord of Radiant Light Island and three other Asuras obstructed him, leaving Herbart to catch up with her.
• Herbart threatened Karina, who threw him the crown; he bound the artifact to himself and recognized the hole in its center as a weakness.
• Dylin gave up the chase and returned toward Blackcloud City with Karina while Herbart and the other four Asuras went to an unnamed island in the Beipu Sea.
• The gray-haired young man, the tumor-covered giant, the burly man in a cyan robe, and the middle-aged man in blue armor demanded the crown from Herbart, but he refused.

Herbart used his Innate Divine Ability, Flashing Spirit, to kill Aile and withstand the attacks of the other three experts while keeping the ice crystal crown. As the survivors prepared to retreat, Rog and his companion arrived, and Herbart asked what they wanted.

• Herbart refused to surrender the ice crystal crown and unleashed Flashing Spirit against Landon, killing him by destroying his soul.
• The other three attacked Herbart but could not seriously harm him because of his formidable physical defense.
• Wengsai fled the island, and the two remaining experts decided to withdraw.
• Rog and his companion arrived after witnessing Herbart's Innate Divine Ability from afar.
• Herbart asked Rog and his companion what they wanted.

Rog and Ninisha confronted Herbart to obtain Divine Beast Essence Blood, and Ninisha overwhelmed him into surrendering. Herbart also gave up ownership of the Ice Crystal Crown after Rog promised to repair it, leaving the artifact’s return dependent on his cooperation.

• Rog drove Amosen and the blue-armored man from the island with powerful soul attacks.
• Rog told Herbart he wanted Divine Beast Essence Blood, but Herbart refused to hand it over willingly.
• Ninisha cut through Herbart’s scales and golden bones with her ring blade, forcing him to surrender.
• Herbart handed over the Ice Crystal Crown and released his ownership of it.
• Rog promised to return the crown after repairing it if Herbart cooperated.

Rog claimed the ice crystal crown and began repairing the damaged Sovereign Artifact, then secured Herbart’s cooperation with an Overgod Oath and a drop of Divine Beast Essence Blood. After giving Herbart the Azure Serpent Bracelet, Rog left with his companion and considered how to obtain the Light Network Crystal without disturbing his clones’ cultivation.

• Rog claimed the ice crystal crown and used his soul power to begin repairing the damaged Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact.
• Herbart gave Rog one drop of Divine Beast Essence Blood and swore an Overgod Oath not to run away.
• Rog gave Herbart the Azure Serpent Bracelet, a powerful Soul Defense Divine Artifact, as advance payment.
• Rog and his companion vanished from the island without revealing their identities, leaving Herbart to reflect on his helplessness.
• Rog considered teleporting the Light Network Crystal with the Bronze Door but decided to send his Light God Clone instead of interrupting his other clones’ cultivation.
