Chapter Summaries

After Little Buddha revealed how the Great Buddha Lords had unknowingly strengthened the Star Sea Abyss, the Buddha Domain evacuated Sumeru City and prepared to defend Mount Sumeru. With the Origin Ancestor nearing a new awakening and Chu Xinghe unable to leave for help without risking his return, he announced his only remaining plan: consult the Star Divination Art.

• Little Buddha urged the Great Buddha Lord to reveal the truth about the Star Sea Abyss, and the Great Buddha Lord agreed to announce it throughout the Buddha Domain.

• Little Buddha asked what Chu Xinghe planned to do, and Chu Xinghe said they had to consult the Star Divination Art.

Chu Xinghe used his Star Divination Art to decide whether to leave the Buddha Domain or stay and face the Origin Ancestor. His improvised divination told him to stay, and he declared that doing so would bring a turning point.

• Chu Xinghe weighed leaving the Buddha Domain against staying to rescue An Ying and the other prodigies from the Origin Ancestor.

Chu Xinghe trusted his Star Divination Art and decided to stay in the Buddha Domain, even as its people blamed him for the coming crisis. The Four Continents lost access to the Star Gate, while the Star Ghosts opened their passage into the Buddha Domain and began their invasion.

• Chu Xinghe divined that he should stay, and he believed the answer meant he could still turn the situation around and rescue An Ying and the other heavenly prides.

• Chu Xinghe concluded that the Buddha Light Pagoda had acted on its own and that his Mental Power talent had caused it to pull him into Buddha's Blessing Divine Temple.

Buddha's Blessing Divine Temple pulled Chu Xinghe inside because of his extraordinary Mental Power talent, and he accepted its inheritance to convert his Spirit Power into Mental Power. As he regained his peak condition and gained a powerful new form of cultivation, his first uncontrolled mental strike sent Little Buddha crashing into the outside of the Buddha Light Pagoda.

Facing the World Seal’s impending destruction and its backlash, he chose to use the arm and, with its power, shifted the space leading to the Star Sea Abyss before he could suppress the seal.
