After Li Yao’s group began hunting for him, Lin Zhen learned about the dangerous Ancient God City in Saudi Arabia and decided to explore it with a team. He contacted Wu Hai, a Quasi-Star Realm captain recruiting advanced War Gods, hoping to hide his identity while he trained.

• Li Wanfeng suggested that Li Yao search Wudalianchi and contact Star Realm experts who could watch for Lin Zhen at Changbai Mountain and elsewhere.
• Lin Zhen watched Li Yao’s group leave, realized he could not safely visit Wudalianchi or Changbai Mountain, and entered Millennial Time Bar.
• Lin Zhen overheard War Gods discuss Ancient God City, a perilous Ancient God Ruins in Saudi Arabia filled with mutated beasts, crystals, and Star Artifacts.
• Lin Zhen found the Ancient God City forum and chose to join Wu Hai’s Huaxia team, which was recruiting an advanced War God Mind Power Master.
• Lin Zhen left the bar and called Wu Hai.

Lin Zhen traveled under the alias An Ming to Ancient God City, where he discovered that the ruin was actually a spaceship and joined Wu Hai’s exploration team. As the team prepared to enter the first layer, Li Yao set out alone to hunt Lin Zhen, unaware of his disguise.

• Lin Zhen used the name An Ming and claimed to be a Level Seven God of War with Golden Stage Late Phase Mental Power to join Wu Hai’s expedition.
• Li Yao learned that Lin Zhen had left Ice City for Ancient God City and decided to pursue him alone.
• Lin Zhen reached the desert ruins and recognized the enormous sand-covered structure as a spaceship protected by a fading Energy Shield.
• Lin Zhen met Wu Hai’s team and accepted a fifteen-percent share of the spoils despite Zhang Zhen questioning his combat experience.
• Wu Hai explained the first layer’s dangerous dinosaur-like Mutated Beasts and assigned Lin Zhen to use his flying ability to lure and hold them back.

Lin Zhen’s team entered Ancient God City’s First Layer, a dinosaur-filled world inside an ancient transport ship, and began traveling toward the Second Layer. After Wu Hai warned them about the dangerous Tyrannosaurus and other threats, a pack of Veloc Raptors charged out of the forest, forcing the group to prepare for battle.

• The group paid the entrance fee and passed through the gate into Ancient God City’s First Layer.
• Lin Zhen recognized the city as a buried extraterrestrial transport ship and saw its artificial ecosystem and dinosaurs.
• Wu Hai warned the group to avoid Tyrannosauruses, explained the beasts’ value and the dangers posed by teams of powerful Martial Artists, and led them toward the Second Layer.
• Lin Zhen chose the Mid-Grade Star Artifact sword Autumn Frost, while Qin Huashang defended him from Zhang Zhen’s teasing and offered to protect him.
• Wu Hai noticed a bloody smell and heard approaching beasts, then warned the group that a pack of A-Rank Veloc Raptors was charging from the forest.

Lin Zhen fought Swift Dragons with Wu Hai's team, discovered an Extraterrestrial Civilization currency stash, and received a Superior Star Artifact sword. To give everyone a chance at valuable loot, he proposed a dice contest for the Swift Dragon King's Flame Crystal, which ended with his final roll still unresolved.

• Lin Zhen killed Swift Dragons while protecting the team, but a Swift Dragon King injured Zhang Zhen and sparked an argument between them.
• Lin Zhen and Wu Hai found the Swift Dragons' cave, where Lin Zhen collected Silver Coins and Wu Hai gave him a Superior Star Artifact sword.
• Lin Zhen proposed using dice contests to distribute valuable loot, and Wu Hai agreed to determine who would get the Flame Crystal that Zhang Zhen had taken.
• Wu Hai, Luo Fei, and Qin Huashang rolled lower than Zhang Zhen, who scored fifteen; Lin Zhen rolled a six and a five before the chapter ended on his final die.

Lin Zhen and his companions continued exploring Ancient God City while he pursued more elemental powers, and Li Yao searched for his identity among masked visitors. Shu Mingxuan began transforming Kholov into an avatar, while the group’s dice game for a Wind Element Crystal ended on the brink of a possible tiebreaker.

• Lin Zhen let Qin Huashang win a Top-Grade Star Artifact, then planned to gather Wind and Earth elemental powers before entering the Star Realm.
• Over the next three days, Lin Zhen and the others advanced through the first layer, won more Star Artifacts through dice games, and fought no further Element Crystals; Lin Zhen trained his Dantian Qi.
• Li Yao spent seven days investigating masked visitors to Ancient God City and identified twelve people he intended to check for Lin Zhen.
• Shu Mingxuan put Kholov into a nutrient tank and began modifying his body with agility-boosting serums and a toxin meant to erase his soul, so he could use Kholov as an avatar.
• Lin Zhen and the team killed an S-rank Hammer Dragon and two pterosaurs, then disputed who would receive its Wind Element Crystal.
• Zhang Zhen rolled three sixes for the crystal, but Lin Zhen asked what would happen if two people tied, and Wu Hai said they would roll again until a winner emerged.

Lin Zhen secretly secured a rare Nested Voidstone after letting Zhang Zhen win the valuable spoils, hoping to use it to learn the Space Folding Method and hide from Star Realm threats. He spent the night trying to make its two spaces resonate at once and reduced the switching time, but had not yet mastered the technique when the team set out at dawn.

• Lin Zhen lost the first dice roll, then let Zhang Zhen take the Wind Element Crystal and most of the other valuable spoils before winning the final Nested Voidstone.
• Wu Hai told the team that several groups planned to explore Tyrant Dragon Nest, where something valuable was rumored to be found.
• In his tent, Lin Zhen recognized the Meteorite as a Nested Voidstone and realized it could help him learn the Space Folding Method to evade Star Realm experts such as Li Yao.
• Lin Zhen tried to make the two interwoven spaces resonate simultaneously by shifting his Mental Power through the Dark Star.
• By dawn, Lin Zhen had shortened the switching time to one three-hundred-and-twentieth of a second, but still needed to make it faster.

Lin Zhen trained to refine his Space Folding Method while traveling with Wu Hai’s team to the Tyrant Dragon Beast nest, where they hoped to find a rumored Sacred Artifact. At the mountain leading to the Second Layer, Wu Hai learned that the nest and the next layer were both extremely dangerous, but he still wanted to enter.

• Lin Zhen overheard Wu Hai discussing a Sacred Artifact and a Tyrant Dragon Beast nest, then continued traveling with the team toward the nest.
• Qin Huashang told Lin Zhen that he reminded her of her idol, Lin Zhen, and shared her collection of records about him as they grew closer and then more distant.
• Lin Zhen practiced the Space Folding Method for three nights, reaching one nine-hundred-and-ninety-ninth of a second but falling just short of one-thousandth of a second.
• Wu Hai’s team reached the mountain entrance to the Second Layer and learned that several other squads had gathered to explore the nearby Tyrant Dragon Beast nest for a rumored Sacred Artifact.
• Ibola warned Wu Hai that teams entering the Second Layer had suffered heavy losses and that repeated attempts to explore the deep nest had also cost lives, but Wu Hai proposed entering immediately.

Lin Zhen and the other teams entered the Tyrant Dragon Beast nest under Chaidefu’s command, where giant bats killed several fighters and Zhang Zhen sacrificed Luo Fei to escape. After the survivors reached a mountain of bones, swarms of enormous venomous snakes emerged around them.

• Chaidefu arrived with Hua Sha and the Tsardom of Russia Three Warriors, forced the other teams to join his expedition, and assigned Huaxia to guard the rear.
• The twenty-five fighters entered the cave and were attacked by giant bats, which killed War Gods from the Indian, European Union, and African Union teams.
• Zhang Zhen used Luo Fei as a shield when bats surrounded him, causing Luo Fei’s death before Zhang Zhen escaped.
• The group passed through the bat-infested area and found a vast mound of dragon-beast and human bones.
• Swarms of enormous venomous snakes crawled out from beneath the bones as the fighters approached the Tyrant Dragons’ territory.

Lin Zhen escaped the White Bone Poisonous Snake Area, exposed Wu Hai and Qin Huashang’s deception, then entered the Tyrant Dragon Beast cave to absorb Zhang Zhen’s Wind Element Crystal and complete the Space Folding Method. As Li Yao arrived at the cave, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star surged with power and he began to break through.

• Wu Hai kicked Zhang Zhen into a python to save Qin Huashang, and Lin Zhen severed Zhang Zhen’s ring-bearing finger before the group escaped the snakes.
• Lin Zhen confronted Wu Hai and Qin Huashang, revealed that he had overheard their plans, and refused to flee when Wu Hai threatened to alert Li Yao.
• Chaidefu sent Lin Zhen into the Tyrant Dragon Beast cave to scout, where Lin Zhen hid inside Liquid Metal and took the Wind Element Crystal from Zhang Zhen’s Space Ring.
• Lin Zhen absorbed the crystal and used the Nested Voidstone to complete the Space Folding Method, creating a Dimensional Space as his Dark Star began to resemble a living world.
• Li Yao arrived at the Tyrant Dragon Beast nest while Lin Zhen’s dantian expanded under the Dark Star’s power, signaling that Lin Zhen was about to break through.

As the Dark Star began forming a Qi Vortex, its surging power rapidly advanced Lin Zhen from Level Seven to the middle stage of Level Eight God of War. Meanwhile, Li Yao arrived at the Tyrant Dragon Beast cave and led Wu Hai, Qin Huashang, Chaidefu, and Hua Sha inside to hunt Lin Zhen.

• The Dark Star’s energy gathered and expanded Lin Zhen’s Dantian Qi, pushing him from the middle stage of Level Seven to the middle stage of Level Eight in minutes.
• The Tyrant Dragon Beasts killed Kip, Adolf, Lancelot, and the other fighters before Chaidefu, Hua Sha, Wu Hai, and Qin Huashang remained to face them.
• Chaidefu ordered Wu Hai into the cave to lure out another Tyrant Dragon Beast, while Wu Hai worried about Lin Zhen’s survival and Li Yao’s delayed arrival.
• Li Yao appeared before the four survivors and questioned Wu Hai and Qin Huashang about Lin Zhen.
• After Wu Hai claimed Lin Zhen had entered the cave and died, Li Yao dismissed the story, suspected Lin Zhen was hiding inside, and ordered everyone to follow him in.

Li Yao searched Tyrannosaurus Cave for Lin Zhen but found no trace of him, then spotted Sacred Artifact Armor among the tyrannosaurs’ treasure and tried to steal it. As Li Yao reached for the armor, a Space Crack opened in the cave and unleashed a dangerous blast.

• Li Yao found evidence that Lin Zhen had sheltered in the cave but concluded he must have slipped away unnoticed.
• Li Yao agreed to help Chaidefu, Hua Sha, Wu Hai, and Qin Huashang take the tyrannosaurs’ treasure after spotting Sacred Artifact Armor.
• Li Yao lured the male tyrannosaur toward the others, and the beast swallowed Qin Huashang during their fight.
• Li Yao distracted the female tyrannosaur by threatening her eggs and rushed toward the Sacred Artifact Armor.
• A Space Crack opened in the cave and sent a powerful wave of air and dust through the area as Li Yao reached for the armor.

Lin Zhen’s Dark Star pushed him to the peak of Level Nine God of War and gave him powerful gravity and a way to vanish into folded space. He stole the Tyrant Dragon Beasts’ treasure, overwhelmed Li Yao, and left the Star Realm warrior buried in the ground after striking him from the sky.

• Lin Zhen advanced from Level Seven Mid Phase to Level Nine Peak and discovered that his Dark Star could fold space around him and greatly strengthen his gravity.
• Lin Zhen used gravity to take the Sacred Artifact Half-Body Armor, Star Artifacts, treasure, and Tyrant Dragon Beast eggs before Li Yao could claim them.
• Lin Zhen blocked Li Yao’s Star Realm attack and pressed him back with the Seven Kill Spear, while the enraged Tyrannosaurs drove Wu Hai, Chaidefu, and Hua Sha toward the cave entrance.
• Little Warm appeared at the entrance and swallowed Wu Hai, Chaidefu, and Hua Sha with Innate Devour.
• Li Yao teleported out of the cave and into the sky, but Lin Zhen caught up and smashed him into the ground with a spear strike.
