Chapter Summaries

Qin Chuan awakened the Prison-Suppressing Black Tower and entered its core assessment as powerful challengers arrived. After repelling their attacks, he froze the old monk in place.

• Qin Chuan deduced that Judgment had tried to claim the Black Tower and was drained by its mutated logic.
• Qin Chuan activated the tower's core, revealing its nine-level form and triggering its assessment program; the guidance beam expelled Cang Hai.
• An old monk, a black shadow, and a Headless Strongman arrived, and the strongman hurled his Blood-Colored Stone Stele at Qin Chuan.
• Qin Chuan deflected the stele into the Headless Strongman, then used Law Execution to break the old monk's Godhead chains.
• Qin Chuan activated Temporal Lockdown and froze the retreating old monk.

Qin Chuan killed three Half-Step Void True Gods who attacked him near the Prison-Suppressing Black Tower. As hundreds of True God powerhouses gathered around the tower’s Guidance Beam, they recognized the evidence of the slaughter and focused their attention on Qin Chuan.

• Qin Chuan used Temporal Lockdown, Dimension Collapse, and Existence Deprivation to kill the Old Monk of the Sea of Suffering, then killed the shadowy figure with a deflected poisoned Short Thorn and a Shadow Flying Dagger.
• Cang Hai identified the Headless Strongman as Xing Tu and revealed that the Blood-Colored Stone Stele was a top-grade defensive Divine Artifact.
• Xing Tu tried to defend himself with the stele, but Qin Chuan negated its barrier and killed him, then collected the stele and two Source Crystals.
• The Prison-Suppressing Black Tower’s Dark Gold Guidance Beam drew hundreds of True God powerhouses through Space Cracks and Space Channels.
• The half-masked woman identified the Old Monk’s abandoned Godhead Beads, while Flesh Mountain recognized the trace of Qin Chuan’s Dimensional Strike, and the gathered powerhouses turned their attention to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan recognized that the Black Tower’s trial was designed to consume participants, not reward them, and let the tower draw everyone inside. The first trial began in a white space where participants had to absorb Law Origin, while Qin Chuan saw that the substance would enslave anyone who took it.

• Qin Chuan told Cang Hai that the Black Tower was starving and the other True Gods could serve as expendable bodies to test its trial.
• The Black Tower began its first trial and swallowed all 412 participants, including Qin Chuan and Cang Hai.
• The participants were restored in a vast white space, and the Mechanical Law Voice announced that only the first 200 to absorb enough Law Origin could advance while the rest would be eradicated.
• A Dark Gold Liquid Sphere appeared, prompting the Four-Armed Strongman, Flesh Mountain, the Masked Woman, and the other True Gods to compete for its Law Origin.
• Qin Chuan stayed back after seeing with the Authority of Creation that absorbing the Law Origin would brand participants and make them fuel for the Black Tower.

Qin Chuan used the Chaos Chalice to steal and refine the Black Tower’s Origin Essence, gaining a massive increase in power while preventing the other True Gods from absorbing it. The first trial ended with 145 qualified survivors as the Black Tower devoured everyone who failed.

• Cang Hai warned Qin Chuan that the True Gods were meeting the qualification requirement by absorbing the Black Tower’s Origin Essence, while the tower branded those who consumed it.
• Qin Chuan summoned the Chaos Chalice and used its True God-Tier Origin Sacrifice to draw the dark gold liquid away from the True Gods.
• Several True Gods attacked Qin Chuan, but his Disorderly Deflection Star Ring reflected their attacks and badly wounded them.
• The Chaos Chalice burned away the Black Tower’s control code and refined the Origin Essence into harmless, high-purity energy, which Qin Chuan drank to greatly strengthen himself.
• The first trial ended with 145 qualified and 267 eliminated, and Black Giant Mouths swallowed the failed True Gods.

After the Black Tower turned the other True Gods into puppets and failed to eradicate Qin Chuan, it dropped him into the Core Furnace. There, Qin Chuan met the Ancient Prison Lord, who demanded his body and Godhead before unleashing the furnace’s Vengeful Souls.

• The Black Tower activated its control code, turning the Four-Armed Strongman, the Flesh Mountain, the Masked Woman, and the other True Gods into puppets, while Qin Chuan remained unaffected.
• The Black Tower’s eradication program targeted Qin Chuan, but it removed the space beneath him and sent him plunging into the Abyss.

• The Ancient Prison Lord awakened among the white bones and explained that he had been trapped in his own Black Tower for seventy thousand years, feeding on fallen True Gods.
• The Ancient Prison Lord demanded Qin Chuan’s body and Godhead, then summoned the devoured True Gods’ Vengeful Souls to attack him.

Qin Chuan defeated the Ancient Prison Lord by destroying his spectral army, nullifying his laws, and severing his bond to the Black Tower. With the Ancient Prison Lord consumed by the Chaos Chalice, the tower’s Bottom Layer Logic collapsed and the Core Furnace began to self-destruct.

• Qin Chuan used [Day and Night] to purify the ghostly faces filling the Core Furnace, clearing them in two slashes.
• The Ancient Prison Lord attacked with Rule Eradication, but Qin Chuan’s [Eye of the Arbiter] stripped the law-based chains of their foundation.

Qin Chuan took control of the Prison-Suppressing Black Tower and discovered a sealed God King corpse on its ninth floor. The captive offered him a God King Decree in exchange for release, while Qin Chuan remained skeptical.

• Qin Chuan used the Origin Essence and his Authority of Creation to repair the Black Tower’s core and overwrite its control system.
• The Black Tower recognized Qin Chuan as its master and revealed that its inaccessible ninth floor was an Absolute Lockdown Zone with a weakening seal.
• Qin Chuan opened a Divine Sense channel to the ninth floor and discovered a headless God King corpse more than ten thousand meters tall, bound by countless chains.
• The Headless God King addressed Qin Chuan, saying the tower’s seal would fail without the Ancient Prison Lord’s Origin Essence and asking to be released.
• Qin Chuan mocked the God King’s offer, and the captive claimed he was a true God King who would give Qin Chuan a complete God King Decree if freed.

Qin Chuan overpowered the Headless God King and drained his Origin Essence to repair and strengthen the Black Tower. He then stopped 145 rampaging True God puppets and ordered the tower to consume them, while the Headless God King’s severed head remained hidden in the Divine Radiance Forbidden Zone.

• Qin Chuan used the Black Tower’s suppression laws to force the Headless God King down and deflected the God King’s Origin Essence strike back at him.

• Qin Chuan’s Causality Reversion returned the lethal concept to the Judgment Archon, exploding his Order Heart and leaving him near death.

Qin Chuan defeated and devoured the Judgment Archon, then learned the location and defenses of the Altar of Origin. He prepared to head for the Sea of Chaos despite Cang Hai’s warning that it was deadly territory.

• The Judgment Archon tried to escape, but Qin Chuan froze him with Temporal Lockdown and used the Ring of Annihilated Karma to make him reveal that the Altar of Origin lay in the Sea of Chaos.
• When the Judgment Archon tried to self-destruct, Qin Chuan stopped him with Divine Gaze and Law Execution, then fed him to the Black Tower.
• The Black Tower devoured the Judgment Archon and strengthened Qin Chuan’s attributes, Divine Damage Conversion Rate, and Authority of Creation analysis speed.
• Qin Chuan demanded the Altar of Origin’s coordinates from the Headless God King, who offered to serve him if Qin Chuan retrieved his sealed head and warned that the Lord of the Altar commanded eight Void True God-level Arbiter Envoys.
• Qin Chuan asked Cang Hai about the Sea of Chaos, and Cang Hai warned that its chaotic laws could turn even a Half-Step Void into a Rotten Flesh Monster and that Arbiter Envoy scouts guarded the area.

Qin Chuan exposed Cang Hai's false story, and Cang Hai revealed himself as Qian Mian, the Eighth Arbiter Envoy and a Void True God who had been luring prey for Lord of the Altar.

• Qian Mian assumed Qin Chuan had exhausted his Divine Might after killing Judgment and refining the Black Tower, then attacked with Law Stripping.
• Qin Chuan did not dodge and asked who had told Qian Mian that he was drained dry.

Qin Chuan effortlessly defeated Qian Mian and used the Prison-Suppressing Black Tower’s rewritten logic to imprison him on the fifth floor and drain his Void Origin Essence. Qian Mian tried to detonate his Godhead, but Qin Chuan stopped him, leaving him trapped and powerless.

• Qian Mian attacked Qin Chuan with a Void Vortex, but Qin Chuan emerged unharmed and sealed Qian Mian’s attempted escape from the Core Furnace.
• Qin Chuan opened the Fifth Floor Detention Room, and the tower’s suction dragged Qian Mian into its sealed Shadow Space.
• Qin Chuan activated the Suppression Protocol, and black tubes extracted Qian Mian’s Origin Essence, increasing Qin Chuan’s attributes.
• Qian Mian tried to detonate his Godhead, but Qin Chuan used the Authority of Creation to lock down the energy cycle.

Qin Chuan refused to rush into the Sea of Chaos to retrieve the Headless God King's head and instead cultivated inside the Prison-Suppressing Black Tower. As Qin Chuan grew stronger, Ming Huo and a group of Scavengers arrived, believing the tower was unclaimed.

• Qin Chuan isolated Qian Mian's floor and absorbed the Void True God's essence while beginning his cultivation in the Core Furnace.

• Qin Chuan received resources harvested by the tower and sensed that he was close to reaching the Void True God Rank.

The Lord of the Altar sent the seven Arbiter Envoys to capture or kill Qin Chuan and bring him back with the Prison-Suppressing Black Tower. The Envoys reached the tower and, wary of entering it themselves, forced nearby scavengers to risk going inside in exchange for their lives.

• The Headless God King watched Qin Chuan absorb Qian Mian and Ming Huo's Origin Essence while Qin Chuan continued analyzing laws in the Core Furnace.
• The Lord of the Altar confirmed that Judgment and Qian Mian were dead, then ordered the seven Arbiter Envoys to retrieve the tower and its New Tower Master or erase them.
• Qin Chuan received an alarm that seven Void True God energy sources were approaching and viewed the Arbiter Envoys on the tower's external monitoring screen.
• The Arbiter Envoys arrived above the Prison-Suppressing Black Tower, and the Red-Robed Arbiter Envoy warned the others against charging inside because its law space could trap them.
• The Red-Robed Arbiter Envoy seized nearby True Gods and Half-Step Voids with chains and promised to spare whoever entered the tower and came back alive.

Qin Chuan used the Black Tower to destroy the Scavengers forced to attack its gate, then fabricated a false image of himself near death to lure the Arbiter Envoys inside. The seven envoys entered the tower and found themselves trapped in a strange arena, where they spotted someone waiting at its center.

• The Red-Robed Arbiter Envoy forced the captured Scavengers to charge the Black Tower, and Qin Chuan opened its gate with the containment program at maximum power.

• Qin Chuan used the Ring of Annihilated Karma and Myriad Creation to send Red Robe a fabricated vision of the tower in ruins and Qin Chuan badly injured.
• Red Robe believed the false vision and led the other six Arbiter Envoys through the gate to seize the tower.
• The gate slammed shut behind the envoys, who found themselves in a Circular Arena and saw someone standing at its center.

Qin Chuan revealed that he had lured the seven Arbiter Envoys into the arena and used the Disorderly Deflection Star Ring to reflect Blue Robe’s attack, gravely wounding him.

• The seven Arbiter Envoys surrounded Qin Chuan, activated Divine Grace, and attacked him with their divine arts.
• Qin Chuan used the pressure of their combined attacks to drive the Void Origin Essence into his Godhead, cracking the barrier of the True God Rank twice.

Qin Chuan used the seven Arbiter Envoys’ attacks to break through to Void True God and analyze their powers. He revealed that their laws came from the Lord of the Altar, then prepared to fight back as Blue Robe attacked again.

• Qin Chuan absorbed and analyzed the Arbiter Envoys’ divine arts, using their attacks to fuse Void Origin into his Godhead and shatter the True God Rank Barrier.

• Blue Robe formed the Law of Heavy Water to attack again, and Qin Chuan gripped Moment of Utmost Darkness and declared it was his turn.

Qin Chuan slaughtered the Arbiter Envoys after breaking through to Void True God, then allowed them to summon the Lord of the Altar’s projection. The projection attacked Qin Chuan, leaving their confrontation poised to begin.
