The team attempted to absorb the chaotic energy of a Titan Divine Corpse, but a surge of Hate Force triggered a Destruction Spell, causing a spatial collapse. Hill used his Earth Vein Crystal Core to suppress the corpse, gaining the ability "Earth Vein Resonance" at the cost of his hearing. Liliana found a "Stone of Wailing" and learned of the Titan's past. Lingnai awakened the "Seed of Nature," creating Jade Vines. David gained "Deconstruction of Divinity" at the cost of his sense of taste. Lingnai then encountered her Shadow Incarnation in the Jade Illusion Realm and found the "Decaying Crown."

This crown was left by the first Goddess of Nature to seal the Plague God, and it contains a powerful plague energy.

Lingnai put on the crown without hesitation.

Instantly, a powerful force surged into her body, enabling her to successfully defeat the Shadow Incarnation.

However, this power also came with a heavy price — her right eye was permanently blinded.

Despite this, Lingnai still gained the ability to harness the plague, which would be a significant aid in her future battles.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Twin Gods Hall, Hill was facing an even more severe challenge.

Deep within the earth’s core lay the "Artificial Sun" abandoned by the Star Pupil Race, a massive energy reactor.

Due to the earth veins’ rampage, the reactor was about to go out of control, releasing destructive power.

Hill’s task was to restart the reactor and stabilize the earth vein energy before all this happened.

However, as Hill approached the reactor, he discovered the interference device left by the Eternal Night Council.

The core of this device was embedded with the pendant Reina wore when she disappeared, filling Hill’s heart with doubt and anger.

He understood that the Eternal Night Council had been secretly manipulating everything; what exactly was their goal?

Without time to think further, Hill began to dismantle the interference device.

But at this critical moment, the Eternal Night Assassins attacked, using a "Time Crack" to exist at three temporal nodes simultaneously.

These assassins were swift and ruthless, plunging Hill into a tough battle.

At the same time, the elderly Liliana sent back a warning message from the future.

However, because the message was altered by the Eternal Night Council, the team misjudged the situation and failed to provide Hill with effective support in time.

This made Hill’s situation even more precarious.

During the trial, David also faced immense pressure.

To protect Lingnai and Hill, who were undergoing trials, he had to use the immature Chaos Divine Fire.

Though powerful, this force had severe side effects — his left arm experienced irreversible crystallization.

This not only affected his combat ability but also made him deeply understand the cost of power.

After gaining the power of the plague, a trust crisis arose between Lingnai and Hill.

Hill was concerned that this power might be exploited by the Eternal Night Council to threaten the team, while Lingnai felt Hill did not understand her hardships and sacrifices.

The rift between them gradually widened, making the entire team’s atmosphere tense.

Facing numerous difficulties and challenges, David, Lingnai, and Hill had to set aside personal grievances and misunderstandings, unite to overcome this crisis.

They began to reevaluate their trial experiences, seeking the key to unraveling the Eternal Night Council’s conspiracy.

Lingnai recalled her experiences in the Illusion Realm, realizing that the power of the plague within the "Decaying Crown" was not entirely evil.

As long as this power could be correctly harnessed, it could become a strong weapon against the Dark Forces.

Thus, she began to try communicating with this power, searching for a way to control it.

Hill discovered more clues about the Eternal Night Council while restarting the reactor.

He realized the Eternal Night Council had been attempting to disrupt the timeline to achieve their covert objectives.

The appearance of Amy’s Frost Phantom further confirmed his belief.

He began to think about how to use this information to counter the Eternal Night Council.

David started studying how to control the crystallization of his left arm and seeking ways to enhance the power of Chaos Divine Fire.

He understood that only by becoming stronger could he protect himself and the team from the threat of the Eternal Night Council.

In pursuit of a common goal, David, Lingnai, and Hill gradually set aside personal grievances and misunderstandings.

They began to support each other, trust each other, and face the upcoming challenges together.

The Eternal Night Council seemed to have noticed their changes and started planning more insidious schemes...

In the depths of the Chaos Realm, David continued exploring this realm full of unknowns and dangers.

The "cognitive pollution" in the realm was like invisible tentacles, trying to erode his mind and make him lost in the sea of consciousness of past Chaos Divine Format holders.

These consciousnesses were either powerful and dignified, cunning and sinister, or filled with madness and despair.

David struggled to maintain his clarity, knowing that if he couldn’t resist the invasion of these consciousnesses, he might be devoured by them and forever lost in this chaos.

However, the thing that frightened him the most was the corrupted future mirror image of himself.

This mirror not only mastered the ability to freeze time and space but also possessed power and wisdom beyond his own self.

In his confrontation with this mirror, David felt unprecedented pressure.

The mirror seemed to anticipate his every move and respond in advance.

The ability to freeze time and space plunged David into a desperate situation, as if he were trapped in an eternal moment, unable to move.

However, in this desperate situation, David’s understanding of the essence of chaos began to change profoundly.

He started realizing that chaos was not merely synonymous with disorder and randomness; it was a source of power, a force capable of creating infinite possibilities.

And the Chaos Divine Fire was the manifestation of this power.

David recalled the moment he absorbed the Primordial Divine Fire; the manifested power from the Ancient God’s brain almost consumed him.

Amid the desperate memories of the Ancient God’s last moments, he saw Liliana’s tragic scene of self-sacrifice to seal the Void Ancient God on a certain timeline.

At that moment, he profoundly understood the cost of power and the meaning of sacrifice.

This experience allowed David to deepen his understanding of Chaos Divine Fire.

He began to try to harness this power rather than be controlled by it.

During his fierce battle with the mirror, David gradually found a way to resonate with the Chaos Divine Fire, feeling the power surge within him and merge with himself.

However, the price of awakening the Divine Furnace was also immense.

While fusing the divine body powers of Lingnai and Hill, the three shared the pain.

Lingnai bore the memories of Hill’s past tortures, which nearly broke her with pain and suffering.

Yet, she did not give up but chose to face it all together with David and Hill.

In the depths of the Chaos Realm, David also discovered a shocking secret.

There was a "sinner" of the Star Pupil Race imprisoned there, who looked exactly like Galrona.

This woman claimed that David was her creation, plunging David into deep confusion and puzzlement.

He began to doubt his identity and mission, along with the secrets hidden behind all this.

In the temporal turbulence, David picked up a damaged "Bell of Judgment."

After ringing it, he gained temporary precognitive abilities.

However, what he foresaw were all scenes of his companions’ deaths.

These scenes haunted him like nightmares, filling him with despair and helplessness.

But he also understood that these premonitions were not inevitable futures, but warnings for him to strive harder to protect his companions and team.

Due to the differing time flow in the Chaos Realm compared to the outside world, the three days David spent here equated to three minutes in the real world.

When he finally mastered the Chaos Divine Fire and was ready to return, he discovered Lingnai’s divine body was on the verge of collapse.

It turned out that due to the prolonged separation and the elemental tide triggered by divine fire fusion, Hill’s Earth Vein Crystal Core and Lingnai’s Power of Nature were experiencing severe repulsion.

To maintain balance, they must keep a distance of over a hundred meters from each other.

Faced with such a predicament, David had to once again display his wisdom and courage.

He began to seek a solution to the elemental repulsion while using the power of Chaos Divine Fire to support Lingnai’s divine body.

In this process, he profoundly realized the double-edged effect of power: while it could help them overcome difficulties, it might also bring unforeseeable consequences, necessitating further research.
