Chapter Summaries

Zhang Xuan opened a concealed new world in the starry sky and moved Mu Xiu, Tang Yao, and the three women there before Strong Light destroyed Xuan Blue Azure Sky. After defending his world from Outer Domain Lifeforms, Zhang Xuan withstood two beams of Strong Light, and an ancient voice spoke from the darkness.

• Zhang Xuan chose to open a new world in a remote nebula while Mu Xiu, Tang Yao, and the three women stayed outside Xuan Blue Azure Sky to draw the Backstage Manipulator's attention.

• Zhang Xuan awoke several days later and discovered that the Great Venerable had changed from the short Old Man into a Loli.
• The Great Venerable told Zhang Xuan that she had orchestrated the attack on Xuan Blue Azure Sky and used living beings as chess pieces because she was bored, and he condemned her disregard for their lives.

• Zhang Xuan told Tian Ling that Qian Fu carried the Evil Dao Source and was likely behind the attack on Six Paths Palace, leaving Tian Ling shocked by her disciple’s betrayal.

After learning that Bitter Time Calamity Lord had cursed Tang Yao and Green Bamboo, Zhang Xuan spent a thousand years cultivating before freeing them from the technique and restoring their minds.

• Zhang Xuan struck the Green Robe figure with a punch, and its body exploded into Azure Light that entered Green Bamboo.
• Green Bamboo heard both her own voice and the intruder’s voice speaking through her, so Zhang Xuan demanded that the intruder come out.

After a green-robed figure killed Zhang Xuan and Green Bamboo, Zhang Xuan’s soul drifted through a Space-Time Passage and returned to his previous life, ten days before the apocalypse. He began preparing for the coming disaster with Zhu Xiaoxiao, leaving to buy supplies and warning her that the world would change.

• Zhang Xuan forced the azure figure out of Green Bamboo and trapped it in Blazing Sunlight, then absorbed it.
• A green-robed man attacked Zhang Xuan and Green Bamboo, destroying the mountain range; Zhang Xuan’s body exploded, Green Bamboo’s soul scattered, and Zhang Xuan’s Golden Light carried his Spirit Soul into a Space-Time Passage.
• A Void arm seized Zhang Xuan’s Golden Light and brought him back to his previous life, where he awoke beside Zhu Xiaoxiao ten days before the apocalypse.
• Zhang Xuan checked the date, dressed, and persuaded Zhu Xiaoxiao to leave with him and use her bank card money to prepare for the apocalypse.
• Zhang Xuan took Zhu Xiaoxiao to a Shopping Mall and told her that zombies and widespread devastation would come in ten days.

When the red sky and infected crows confirmed the apocalypse had begun, Zhang Xuan armed himself and left the villa, where a crimson drop triggered a talent awakening.

• Zhang Xuan spent his money and took out loans to buy supplies, then purchased and fortified a suburban villa and acquired weapons.
• Zhang Xuan and Zhu Xiaoxiao moved into the villa, and Zhu Xiaoxiao’s relatives dismissed her warnings about the coming apocalypse.
• Zhang Xuan and Zhu Xiaoxiao brought her parents to the villa, where they spent the night unaware that the apocalypse was about to begin.

• Zhang Xuan stopped Zhu Xiaoxiao from answering calls from relatives, armed himself, and left the villa despite her warning.
• A crimson drop landed on Zhang Xuan’s head, and a voice announced that his talent was awakening.

After awakening Poison Demon and Attribute Absorption, Zhang Xuan protected Zhu Xiaoxiao and her parents from mutated creatures and grew stronger by absorbing the Blood Rain. He reached the city by carrying their car across a collapsed bridge, where he faced a zombie horde as a mysterious elderly man watched and wondered whether Zhang Xuan was the Mandate of Heaven Master had foretold.

• Zhang Xuan discovered that his Poison Demon talent could destroy a Zombie Hound and that Attribute Absorption increased his attributes.
• Zhang Xuan returned to the villa and used Poison Covers the Heavens and Earth to save Zhu Xiaoxiao and her parents from mutated animals attacking them.
• Zhu Xiaoxiao and her parents awakened talents after crimson Blood Drops fell on them, and Zhang Xuan realized Blood Rain from slain creatures also strengthened survivors.

• An elderly man in a gray ancient-style robe watched Zhang Xuan from a skyscraper and wondered whether he was the Mandate of Heaven Master had spoken of.

After his attributes surged, Zhang Xuan gained the power to fly and tracked down the Old Daoist, who had never awakened a talent. Zhang Xuan tried several ways to trigger the Old Daoist’s awakening, but nothing worked before the sky turned dark red and Blood Rain began to fall.

• Zhang Xuan’s Concept Poison killed zombies, and the resulting crimson rain boosted his attributes enough to send him floating high above the city.
• Zhang Xuan found the Old Daoist and learned that he had never awakened a talent because he had stayed inside and avoided Heaven-Dropped Blood Drops.
• Zhang Xuan escorted the Old Daoist downstairs and killed three zombies, but the Old Daoist showed no sign of awakening when they went outside.

• Zhang Xuan repeatedly carried the Old Daoist high into the sky, but he still did not awaken before the sky turned dark red and Blood Rain began to fall.

Blood rain awakened new abilities in Old Daoist and Zhu Xiaoxiao, Zhu Ba, and Zhu Ma, while Zhang Xuan killed Zhu Xiaoxiao’s cousin and his companions after they attacked. After exterminating a basement colony of mutated rats, Zhang Xuan advanced and awakened the Poison Demon Realm, gaining a skill that let him store the villa’s supplies.

• Blood rain strengthened the group and awakened Old Daoist’s Five Elements Eight Trigrams, Zhu Xiaoxiao’s frost, Zhu Ba’s lightning, and Zhu Ma’s water skills.

• Blood Rain fell for half a day, and the zombies and mutated animals that endured it awakened.

After discovering a sphere bearing Tian Ling’s message, Zhang Xuan resolved to grow stronger and return to her, spreading Concept Poison across the world’s waters as he continued exterminating mutated creatures.

Zhang Xuan discovered a ruined chicken-like alien carrier vessel and learned that invisible interstellar monsters had destroyed its crew. When an unseen terror attacked his spacecraft on the way back, he unleashed Concept Poison into the starry sky and returned to the planet, intending to hunt zombies and mutated animals while the poison spread.

• Zhang Xuan touched a charged pipe, received the carrier vessel's memories and encryption key, and learned that invisible monsters had killed its chicken-like crew.

• Zhang Xuan used Concept Poison to destroy the zombies and mutated animals around the Aerospace Base, and the group spent the next year clearing threats around the world.
• Old Daoist returned to his mountain temple after survivors began rebuilding, while Zhang Xuan and his companions later settled into seclusion as the world recovered.

• Zhang Xuan defeated the wealthy woman’s suited men and knocked her bald husband to the ground when they attacked him.
• The bald man returned to Zhang Xuan, knelt, and repeatedly knocked his head against the floor before later inviting Zhang Xuan and his companions to Lihe Manor.
• At the manor, Long Sanhe and Chang Xuzi showed Zhang Xuan satellite photographs of a monstrous figure in interstellar space and asked him to watch over the planet if they went to confront it.
• Zhang Xuan said the two elders would be torn apart by interstellar gales and told them he would handle the monster.
• Zhang Xuan vanished from the hall.

Zhang Xuan discovered a trace of Time-Space aura in the Dim Starry Sky and spent centuries trying to see through it, while Zhu Xiaoxiao and the others visited him periodically. When the Crimson Vortex returned with hostile monsters, Zhang Xuan destroyed it and awakened Fire Domain Time-Space.

• A Crimson Vortex seized the interstellar garbage aggregate before Zhang Xuan could act, leaving behind a trace of Time-Space aura that he collected and began analyzing.
• After Zhang Xuan spent ten years meditating, Zhu Xiaoxiao, Long Sanhe, and the others found him in a spacecraft, and he told them he was safe before resuming his analysis alone.
• Zhu Xiaoxiao and the others visited Zhang Xuan every ten years; a century later, Zhu Xiaoxiao told him that Long Sanhe and Chang Xuzi had died, and that Long Sanhe had left him his assets and a video.

• The Crimson Vortex reappeared and released successive interstellar garbage aggregate monsters, which Zhang Xuan destroyed with punches.
• Zhang Xuan struck the Crimson Vortex and erased it with Concept Poison, awakening Fire Domain Time-Space and gaining Time Domain Walk and Domain Stepping Blazing Yang Fire.

After Zhang Xuan gained the Fire Domain Time-Space talent, flames transported him to a forest in another world, where he discovered he could travel only between that forest and a desolate darkness. He began searching for clues about his location and Zhu Xiaoxiao and the others, then sensed cultivators nearby.

• Zhang Xuan arrived in a dense forest, where a white-robed woman killed a giant monster and took a White Crystal from its corpse.
• Zhang Xuan used Fire Domain Time-Space to return to the Dim Starry Sky, then watched a Void rift pull away the stars, darkness, and the planet where Zhu Xiaoxiao and the others were.
• Zhang Xuan repeatedly traveled between the forest and the darkness but could not reach any other Time-Space worlds, so he resolved to find out where he was and locate Xiaoxiao and the others.
• Zhang Xuan sensed cultivators near the forest’s edge and approached a group led by a bearded middle-aged man, including Xuan Spirit and two female disciples.
• The middle-aged man killed a third rank exotic beast, but Xuan Spirit and a calm female disciple remained uneasy about the unusually quiet forest.
• Despite Xuan Spirit’s warning, the middle-aged man led the group toward the Mid-Section Waterfall.
