• Hermela visited Sovereign Zijing in the Infernal Realm and covertly monitored Rog as he traveled to a Material Plane.
• Hermela became suspicious of Rog's sudden return to a Material Plane, while Rog wondered whether his supply of Light Sovereign's Might would be enough.

Rog strengthened his body with Light Sovereign's Might, then mastered the final profound mystery of the Laws of Light and prepared to pursue his plan to become a Sovereign. Helme grew suspicious of Rog's movements, but his clones slipped away to their destinations as he committed to taking the risk.

• Rog spent nearly twelve days absorbing Light Sovereign's Might, making his body tougher than a Highgod Artifact and able to shatter one with a blow.
• Rog realized he lacked enough Sovereign's Might to strengthen his body to the level of a Sovereign Artifact and considered becoming a Light Sovereign.

• Helme asked Zijing about Rog and revealed that his Lightning Divine Clone had spent time in the Radiant Divine Realm, deepening her suspicion.
• Rog's Lightning Divine Clone went to the Divine Lightning Plane while his light-element Divine Clone went to the Radiant Divine Realm, and Rog resolved to take his chance at becoming a Sovereign.

Rog traveled to the underwater palace beneath Sangqiu Island to seek an audience with Hermela, the Radiant Sovereign. After learning he was not the Sovereign of Death’s emissary, Hermela’s expression changed, and the meeting ended with an ominous threat.

• Hermela asked whether Rog was the Sovereign of Death’s emissary, and Rog said he was not.
• Hermela raised an eyebrow, and the encounter turned threatening as only one of them was said to be destined to leave alive.

Rog lured Sangqiu Sovereign Hermela into the Bronze Door’s Void, where her powers failed and he killed her, taking her Sovereign Spark. He refined it and became a new Light Sovereign, while the other six Light Sovereigns realized Hermela had fallen and suspected Rog.

• Hermela confronted Rog about his research into the Light Jade Beast’s ability and offered him Light Sovereign’s Might in exchange for the method.
• Rog rejected Hermela’s offer and used the Bronze Door to bring them both into the Void.
• Inside the Void, Hermela lost her connection to her powers and laws, and Rog killed her with the Black Serpent Spear.
• Rog returned to the palace, refined Hermela’s Sovereign Spark, and became a Light Sovereign.
• The other six Light Sovereigns sensed Hermela’s disappearance and learned from her Water Element Divine Clone that Rog was likely involved.

Rog killed Hermela’s last Divine Clone, then traveled to the Netherworld and killed Sovereign Lianhuo to take his Sovereign Spark. After refining it, Rog became a fused Sovereign stronger than the Lightning Element Sovereign and set his sights on one final Sovereign Spark.

• Rog tracked down Hermela’s fleeing Water Element Divine Clone and killed her despite Augusta’s warning.

After killing Sovereign Lianhuo and refining his Sovereign Spark, Rog used his fused two-element power to search the Divine Lightning Realm for the Lightning Sovereign. The other Sovereigns realized Rog was likely there to hunt a Lightning Sovereign and began fleeing toward Material Planes, while Rog continued toward Cold Moon Lake.

• Rog avoided hunting the dangerous Sovereign Ku Shi and Snowmist Sovereign, choosing Sovereign Lianhuo as a safer target.
• Rog's clones regrouped on an island in the Divine Lightning Plane, and he used his fused Sovereign Power to locate the Lightning Sovereign at Cold Moon Lake.
• The Sovereign of Death told Augusta that Sovereign Lianhuo had died, and the Sovereigns suspected Rog was responsible.
• Orloff warned that Rog's Lightning Divine Clone meant he was probably in the Divine Lightning Plane, prompting three Lightning Sovereigns from Material Planes to flee toward teleportation arrays.
• Rog continued toward Cold Moon Lake at light speed, unconcerned that the Sovereigns had begun discussing their escape.

Rog lured Hurley, the Lightning Sovereign, into the Void with the power of the Bronze Door, where their Innate Divine Abilities and Sovereign Artifacts could not function. Hurley was shocked to find Rog’s physical strength matched his own, and their fight began with both still standing.

• The Lightning Sovereigns debated fleeing as Rog hunted them, while the Thunder Abyss Sovereign headed for a teleportation array to seek Orloff’s protection.

• Hurley sensed Rog’s approach too late, and Rog transported them both into the Void, where Hurley vanished from his temple along with his Sovereign Spark’s aura.

• Rog and Hurley clashed with their weapons and retreated several steps, leaving Hurley stunned by Rog’s strength as gray-purple power gathered in Rog’s eyes.

• Rog refined the Lightning Sovereign Spark and gained stronger Willpower and Fused Sovereign Power from three elements.
• Rog assessed his new strength and concluded that, aside from Orloff, he no longer feared the other Sovereigns.
• Orloff’s projection appeared in Hurley’s temple, asked Rog about his fused power, and heard Rog demonstrate his new divine power.
• Orloff asked Rog to help maintain the agreement that Sovereigns must not fight and kill one another without a grievance.

After killing Hurley, Rog promised the Sovereigns that he would not kill without reason, leaving them wary of his immense strength and mysterious methods. At their gathering in Augusta Garden, the Four Rules Sovereigns discussed how to prevent him from growing stronger, while Orloff doubted they could stop him if he entered the Planar Battlefield with his true body.

• Rog told the Sovereigns that he was not bloodthirsty and would not kill without a personal reason, and the Fate Sovereign urged him to keep his promise.
• The Sovereigns recoiled from Rog after Hurley’s death and worried that he might continue killing them, but his promise eased their fears.

• Orloff privately concluded that Rog’s true body had so much Willpower that the Sovereigns would struggle to stop him in the Planar Battlefield.

Rog strengthened his Light Jade Golden Body, welcomed Sovereigns who came to pay their respects, and visited Beirut in the Yulan Plane. Beirut suspected Rog had been a Sovereign all along, while Rog hinted that he had killed a Sovereign and taken the Sovereign Spark.

• Rog circulated Light Sovereign's Might through the Light Jade Golden Body technique and expected to reach its major accomplishment stage within a few months.

• Rog decided to ask the Sovereign of Death to see the Death Demonic Tome again after strengthening his body, and sent a projection to the Yulan Plane to meet Beirut.
• Beirut recognized Rog's soul aura and assumed he had been a Sovereign when they first met, while Rog found the theory amusing.
• Rog said he had killed a Sovereign and taken the Sovereign Spark, but Beirut doubted him and suspected Rog was teasing him.

Rog offered Beirut a safe way out of the Yulan Plane in exchange for most of the Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood, claiming Augusta would comply rather than risk a fight. Unsure whether Rog was telling the truth, Beirut went to ask Pash about Rog and learned that other Sovereigns addressed him as Lord Rog.

• Rog told Beirut to ask the other Sovereigns about his rise and offered a deal for the Four Divine Beasts' Essence Blood.

• Beirut sent his consciousness to the Blood Peak Continent to ask Pash what was happening with Rog.
• Pash warned Beirut to address Rog respectfully as Lord Rog, leaving Beirut to wonder whether Rog could truly make Augusta fear him.

• Beirut told Pash that Rog had asked him for the Four Divine Beasts Essence Blood, hoping the news would reach Uhtred and improve his bargaining position.
