Chapter Summaries

Su Yu discovered that the fragment bearing the “Record” character let him glimpse Supervisor of Heaven Marquis and suspect a plot involving Duobao, then joined Wan Tiansheng’s lesson on rules and the River of Time. Liu Hong’s theory about Divine Scripts and Rules gave Wan Tiansheng a new understanding of his future Dao.

• Su Yu activated the “Record” fragment and overheard Supervisor of Heaven Marquis summon the elders and speculate about Su Yu’s treasure and survival.
• Su Yu tested the fragment with Tian Mie and Fur Ball, learned Duobao had been a Treasure Rat who served in the Heavenly Treasure Division, and grew suspicious that Duobao and Supervisor of Heaven Marquis had arranged for the fragment to reach him.
• Su Yu asked Wan Tiansheng to examine the fragment and Wen Mu Stele, then considered whether Supervisor of Heaven Marquis and the West Pavilion Master had been maneuvering around him and the human race.
• Wan Tiansheng escorted Su Yu to Xinghong Ancient City, warned him against forcing the human Invincibles to submit to an investigation, and began teaching him how to use rules and the River of Time.
• Su Yu and the others studied Wan Tiansheng’s explanation, while Liu Hong proposed that Divine Scripts were simplified Rules and that proving the Dao meant adding one’s own Rule to the greater web.
• Wan Tiansheng reflected on Liu Hong’s theory and realized he might have gained insight into his future Dao.

Su Yu developed a theory that cultivation and Dao Fusion depended on compatibility with the Power of Rules, then tested his ideas with Old Turtle. Old Turtle confirmed that rule-establishing experts existed in the past and admitted that he had not reached that level, leaving Su Yu convinced Old Turtle was a peak Dao Fusion expert.

• Su Yu proposed that divine characters embodied embryonic rules and that Civilization Masters might grow stronger by studying punishments, rewards, and the Powers of Rules.
• Su Yu compared Dao Fusion to merging with threads in a great web, while Xinghong explained the ancient Melting Soldier Method and confirmed that his city served as his carrier.
• Su Yu questioned Old Turtle about Dao Fusion and rapidly deduced theories about rule compatibility, limits on shared Daos, and the human race's difficulty producing Dao Fusion experts.
• Old Turtle revealed that he was in the Dao Fusion Realm and asked Su Yu how to deal with an equally powerful rival whose Dao had the advantage.
• Su Yu inferred that Old Turtle had a formidable opponent, and Xing Hong reacted to the hint that the rival might be one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Undead.
• Old Turtle confirmed that ancient powerhouses had established rules, but said he could not do so and that the Battlefields of the Heavens could not accommodate someone whose rules surpassed the collective rules there.

After Wan Tiansheng left Xinghong Ancient City, Su Yu slaughtered the spies and enemies watching him, while the Human Race’s Invincibles debated whether to bring him back into their fold. King of Great Qin and King Dazhou secretly planned an attack on the Sky Abyss Realm, then invited Su Yu to his father’s fiftieth birthday, drawing the myriad races’ attention to Great Xia Prefecture.

• Su Yu studied the Power of Rules in Xinghong Ancient City and told Wan Tiansheng he might sell the fragment bearing the character “Record.”
• After Wan Tiansheng departed, Su Yu’s Civilization Records devoured seven Sunmoons and countless other beings, and Su Yu barred all outsiders from approaching within a hundred li of the city.

Xia Huyu invited Su Yu to return to the Human Realm for his father’s birthday and to lead a proposed Sacred Land, but Su Yu refused to accept the Xia family’s blade or commit to the invitation. He later traveled to the God Devouring Ancient Realm to meet Little Fur Ball’s parents, who greeted him by sniffing him instead of welcoming their child.

• Xia Huyu delivered the birthday invitation and told Su Yu that King of Great Qin’s proposed Sacred Land would make him its sole leader.
• Xia Huyu offered Su Yu the Xia family’s blade as a pledge of Great Xia Prefecture’s support, but Su Yu refused it because he did not want the burden it represented.

• Su Yu persuaded Little Fur Ball to help him visit its family and prepared enormous Heavenly Origin Qi gifts, then shifted away from Xinghong Ancient City and entered the God Devouring Ancient Realm.
• Dou Bao and Mother Fur Ball rushed past Little Fur Ball to sniff Su Yu, and Little Fur Ball joined them on his head while Su Yu stayed still in fear.

Su Yu visited the God Devouring Ancient Realm and learned from Dou Bao that the Time Master and the King of Great Ming were different people, and that the Hunter Heaven Ranking imitated the Time Record. After discovering that Cooked Cake and Little Fur Ball could accompany him, Su Yu left with them as Big Fur Ball returned to sleep.

• Big Fur Ball explained that the Time Master was a woman distinct from the King of Great Ming, and that the Hunter Heaven Ranking was a shattered imitation of the Time Record.
• Su Yu learned that Cooked Cake had once given a divine-race corpse to someone with Human King bloodline, but he himself showed no such bloodline.
• Dou Bao revealed that it, Cooked Cake, and Little Fur Ball were living incarnations of separate rules, and explained how Supervisor of Heaven Marquis used the Hunter Heaven Ranking to gather fortune.

• Su Long denied that Su Yu’s talent came from his parents and promised Marquis Xia to guard against anyone obtaining his blood or hair.

Su Yu strengthened his Divine Scripts, questioned Liu Hong about memories that had surfaced in his dreams, and learned they had begun around the same time as his own unusual experiences. He then returned openly to the Human Realm with thirty-five ancient cities, where he confronted King of Great Yuan before entering alongside the human Invincibles.

• Su Yu recruited Silkworm King Annihilator, King Jin Tian, and Little King Zhou to help create a formation that could seal or slow the River of Time, and he asked Great Zhou Prefecture to let him study artificial divine characters.

Su Yu returned to the Human Realm, won the soldiers of Heavens Prefecture over with a speech, and traveled with King Daxia to Great Xia Prefecture. He secured the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm, learned more about Xia Chen and humanity’s history, and finally reunited with Su Long, who angrily sent him away for returning without a grand procession.

• King of Great Qin stayed at the passage entrance and warned the other Invincibles to protect Su Yu as King Dazhou escorted him into the Human Realm.
• Ye Hongyan and the soldiers of Heavens Prefecture welcomed Su Yu, who spoke of his wish to reunite with his father and praised the soldiers.
• King Daxia escorted Su Yu toward Great Xia Prefecture, agreed to let him take the Sea of Consciousness Secret Realm after Su Yu revealed Xia Chen’s secret phrase, and learned that Xia Chen had been resurrected as an Eternal Seventh Stage undead.
• Su Yu told King Daxia that Xia Chen was his ancestor and revealed that the Xia family carried the War King’s bloodline; King Daxia also named several other Invincibles with Human King bloodlines.
• Su Yu reached Great Xia Prefecture and reunited with Su Long, who berated him for returning alone instead of making a grand, glorious entrance.

• Su Yu sealed Su Long’s memories of the Time Record and decided to investigate whether Starfall Mountain held the Time Master’s ruins.

Marquis Xia persuaded Su Yu to accept the title of Lord of the Sacred Land, arguing that its legitimacy would let him define the human race’s orthodoxy without taking on day-to-day burdens. Su Yu agreed, and his allies launched a campaign to make him a celebrated hero before the assembly; within three days, rumors and public praise had made him a saint across the Human Realm.

• Marquis Xia explained that becoming Lord of the Sacred Land would give Su Yu righteous legitimacy to judge enemies and protect his allies, and Su Yu agreed to take the title.

• The Xia Family and Zhu Family spread embellished stories about Su Yu throughout the Human Realm, praising his victories and claiming the Myriad Races opposed his appointment.
• Rumors that King of Great Yuan opposed Su Yu’s appointment provoked protests and clashes in Great Yuan Prefecture, while King of Great Yuan struggled to respond without seeming tyrannical.
• King Dazhou observed that Su Yu had been made a legendary saint in only three days by the Xia and Zhu families’ campaign.

Su Yu helped Liu Hong’s teacher, Elder Zhao, break through into the Sun Moon Realm and learned that Zhou Hao might be descended from the Martial King. The chapter left Su Yu facing the possibility that Zhou Hao’s lineage explained his extraordinary physical talent.

• Su Yu gave Zhao Li an ancient weapon-forging text, then asked Ji Hong for Elder Zhao’s location and materials from the academy’s old investigations.
• Ji Hong suggested that Su Yu take Zhou Hao as a student because Zhou Hao had opened 270 Origin Apertures and forged his body 21 times; Su Yu agreed to meet him before deciding.
• Su Yu visited Elder Zhao’s sealed chamber and offered three ways to resolve the conflict between his human and non-human Divine Scripts.
• Elder Zhao chose to remove his non-human Divine Scripts, and Little Fur Ball devoured them, allowing Elder Zhao to break through into the Sun Moon Realm.
• Su Yu returned to Su Mansion, where Zhou Hao waited outside, and Mother Fur Ball sensed that he might be a descendant of the Martial King.

Su Yu tested Zhou Hao before agreeing to provide him with Heavenly Origin Fruit to open his remaining apertures, then prepared to host the sacred land gathering while Invincibles forged a weapon and a confinement formation. The chapter left the formation under construction as Su Yu drew Floating Earth Spirit’s attention to the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lotus and King Dazhou quietly assessed the exchange.

• Su Yu questioned Zhou Hao about his loyalty, tested his combat skills, and agreed to supply Heavenly Origin Fruit if Zhou Hao opened all his apertures within twenty days and later killed for him.
• Su Yu spent the next two days helping Su Long cultivate and watching Zhao Li forge weapons as powerful visitors arrived at Great Xia Prefecture.

• Su Yu displayed a petal of the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lotus, prompting Floating Earth Spirit to offer a bearer for it, but Su Yu refused to sell.
• King Dazhou watched Su Yu and Floating Earth Spirit closely while King Daxia warned that selling the lotus to foreign races could invite trouble.

Su Yu watched the experts assembling his grand formation while secretly investigating whether any of them carried the Prison King's bloodline, and he manipulated Floating Earth Spirit into spreading the impression that he might sell petals of the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lotus. He confirmed that the Heavenly Forging King had ordinary bloodline power, then left King Dazhou smiling as King Daxia tried to keep the two men from clashing.

• Long Wuyou warned the dragons that Su Yu was cunning, but the dragons and Floating Earth Spirit's elder grew convinced that Su Yu might sell the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lotus and began planning how to buy its petals.
• Su Yu urged Floating Earth Spirit to lead a purchase, while Floating Earth Spirit told his elder that Su Yu had offered one petal for three carriers and imposed a one-petal limit.

• Su Yu left Zhao Tianbing to continue forging with the Heavenly Forging King and focused his suspicions on King Jin Tian and Silkworm King Annihilator.
• King Daxia stepped between the smiling Su Yu and King Dazhou, mistaking their mutual amusement for a brewing conflict.

Su Yu followed King Dazhou to Northern Yuan City, where he discovered that the source of Great Zhou Prefecture’s artificial Divine Scripts was a fragment of the Myriad Laws Illustrated Record. The fragment’s resonance with Su Yu’s Record character made him suspect that Supervisor of Heaven Marquis had manipulated his luck to gather the pieces, while King Dazhou revealed plans to attack the Sky Abyss Race and asked Su Yu to help protect the Human Realm.

• Qin Zhen confirmed that the meeting among the prefectures would proceed at the Civilization Academy the next day, and King Dazhou advised Su Yu to delay decisions and keep attention on Great Xia Prefecture.

• King Dazhou explained that the Four Yuans had once been the fiefs of the Literary King, Martial King, Bright King, and Prison King, then showed Su Yu a fragment inscribed with Myriad Laws.
• Su Yu recognized the Myriad Laws fragment as part of the Hunter Heaven Atlas and learned that it had been used to create artificial Divine Scripts by absorbing and reassembling Divine Script fragments.
• After the Myriad Laws fragment resonated with Su Yu’s Record character, Su Yu suspected Supervisor of Heaven Marquis had arranged events to make him gather the atlas fragments and possibly seize control of the Hunter Heaven Ranking.
• King Dazhou confirmed that he and other humans planned to attack the Sky Abyss Race, and Su Yu warned that Supervisor of Heaven Marquis might intervene while demanding the traitor’s intact corpse if they killed him.

Su Yu attended the Human Realm’s meeting to establish a new Sacred Land, while King Dazhou and others maneuvered around the increasingly volatile King of Great Yuan. King of Great Yuan finally attacked Su Yu in the hall, and their clash began before the Sacred Land vote could proceed.

• Su Yu returned to Great Xia Prefecture and watched Invincibles forge weapons and a grand formation while waiting for the Sacred Land meeting.
• Marquis Xia opened the meeting and proposed granting the Sacred Land sweeping authority over the prefectures, prompting King of Great Yuan and others to object.

• Zhou Potian revealed that King Dazhou wanted Su Yu to provoke King of Great Yuan so that Su Yu might cut apart his Three Bodies and resolve the danger.
• King of Great Yuan attacked Su Yu in the hall, and Su Yu struck back as the Invincibles rushed to protect everyone nearby.

Su Yu fought King of Great Yuan after the latter attacked him, destroying two of his three bodies before the battle ended with King of Great Yuan recovering his senses. Su Yu later investigated Silkworm King Annihilator’s mixed bloodline, while King Dazhou argued that the true traitor might be King Jin Tian instead.

• King of Great Yuan attacked Su Yu, and the two fought fiercely inside the grand formation as other Invincibles tried to contain the damage.
• Su Yu used death qi and his portals to destroy King of Great Yuan’s present and future bodies, while Mother Fur Ball identified Silkworm King Annihilator’s mixed Prison King bloodline.
• King of Great Yuan’s past body returned with his senses restored, and Su Yu threatened to leave the human realm before Liu Wenyan and Bai Feng urged him to end the conflict.
• Su Yu stopped King of Great Yuan from killing himself, then left for Su Mansion and spoke privately with King Dazhou, who suggested King Jin Tian might be the real traitor.
• Silkworm King Annihilator admitted he was descended from King of Hell and the Flame Demon Emperor, but denied betraying humanity or plotting against Ye Batian.

Su Yu and King Dazhou investigated Silkworm King Annihilator’s past through the River of Time and discovered that an ancient enemy had secretly forged his Prison King bloodline to frame him. Their findings led King Dazhou to suspect King Jin Tian, while Su Yu sent Silkworm King Annihilator back to finish building his grand formation.

• Su Yu asked Silkworm King Annihilator to reveal his bloodline mark, and King Dazhou questioned how he had learned about his supposed mixed heritage.
• Su Yu, King Dazhou, and Silkworm King Annihilator traveled through the River of Time, where they discovered that Lantian’s female clone had once fooled Silkworm King Annihilator into believing they were married.
• The trio watched an ancient enemy drain the young Silkworm King Annihilator’s blood and replace it with a forged bloodline, prompting him to believe he was a descendant of the Human King.
• King Dazhou concluded that the enemy had made Silkworm King Annihilator a scapegoat and suspected that King Jin Tian was the enemy’s true descendant, whose bloodline had been altered.
• Su Yu agreed that King Jin Tian might be involved but chose not to capture him yet, then told Silkworm King Annihilator to keep quiet and finish building his grand formation.

Su Yu and King Dazhou discussed the suspicions surrounding King Jin Tian, the rules protecting the Battlefields of the Heavens, and Su Yu’s role in the human race. Later, Wu Lan and Bai Feng helped Su Yu uncover the Wen Mu Stele’s Great Dao inheritance, which he turned into a powerful brush-like weapon.

• Su Yu and King Dazhou considered evidence that King Jin Tian might be a Prison King descendant, while advising Silkworm King Annihilator to act as though nothing had happened.
• King Dazhou explained that Su Yu had disrupted the human race’s expected timeline and warned that repeatedly violating the Battlefields of the Heavens’ rules could create openings for outside forces.
• Su Yu refused to leave for the ancient city, and more races arrived in Great Xia Prefecture under the pretext of celebrating Su Long’s birthday while seeking the Nine-Leaf Heavenly Lotus.
• Wu Lan and Bai Feng proposed studying Su Yu’s Primordial Spirit Aperture, then Bai Feng deduced that the Wen Mu Stele’s divine script patterns could combine into a single Great Dao.
• Su Yu overlaid patterns from the Wen Mu Stele and found they matched his own divine script combat technique, then fused the stele with it and unleashed a powerful saber strike.
• Su Yu transformed the resulting weapon into a brush and concluded that the Wen King and the Time Master were likely closely connected.

Su Yu learned from Bai Feng and Wu Lan's research that divine scripts might merge with their users and that innate divine scripts came from fragments of rules, while he also faced schemes from the Immortal Race and Hunter Pavilion. After deciding to exploit rule-based punishment to strengthen himself, Su Yu welcomed Floating Earth Spirit with an unnervingly warm smile and revealed that he knew about his connection to the Five Elements Ancestor.

• Bai Feng proposed merging himself with a divine script, and Wu Lan explained the difference between innate and self-comprehended divine scripts, leading Su Yu to suspect the God Eater Race had once been human.
• Su Yu drew the Zhou Tian Primordial Spirit Diagram, endured and devoured the lightning sent to destroy it, then gave the diagram to Bai Feng to study.
