Chapter Summaries

Lin Zhen reunited with Han Sha, who offered to arrange a Heavenly Gate challenge through Ke Xiangnan, another Fire Qilin, but Lin Zhen declined. A skinny Martial Artist then offered him a cheaper place in line, and Lin Zhen paid to join a queue near the front.

• Han Sha told Lin Zhen that he had awakened the Star River Beast bloodline of the Wizard Empire's prince, Ke Xiangnan, and hoped Ke Xiangnan might bring him to the Origin Realm with a Wormhole Egg.
• Han Sha offered Lin Zhen his queue position through Ke Xiangnan, but Lin Zhen refused because he wanted to find his own way to challenge the Heavenly Gate.
• A skinny Martial Artist approached Lin Zhen and offered to arrange a challenge for three billion Cosmic Crystals, plus a three-hundred-million commission.
• Lin Zhen paid the commission and followed the skinny Martial Artist to a secluded front-row queue overseen by a white-haired Realm King.

Lin Zhen backed Zhu Ling Shan after Sun Liang and Zhu Xiao Die provoked her, and accepted their bet over the Heavenly Gate challenge. Zhu Ling Shan's first attempt failed at fifty thousand kilometers, leaving Lin Zhen next to face the challenge.

• Lin Zhen arrived at the Heavenly Gate and met Zhu Ling Shan, Sun Liang, and Zhu Xiao Die as they waited to attempt the climb.
• Sun Liang and Zhu Xiao Die tried to anger Zhu Ling Shan, and Lin Zhen encouraged her to stay calm.
• Lin Zhen accepted Sun Liang's bet that the losing pair would have an arm cut off, and Zhu Ling Shan agreed to take her turn at the Heavenly Gate.
• Zhu Ling Shan launched upward but ran out of strength at fifty thousand kilometers, only one-twentieth of the way to the top.

Lin Zhen challenged the Heavenly Gate after Sun Liang and Zhu Xiao Die outperformed Zhu Ling Shan, putting her arm at risk in their bet. As Lin Zhen launched himself upward with the Star Power of his main body and clone combined, he stunned the watching Martial Artists with his incredible speed.

• Zhu Ling Shan failed her first challenge, while Sun Liang reached ninety thousand kilometers and Zhu Xiao Die reached three and a half percent of the Heavenly Gate.
• Sun Liang claimed he was seven percent ahead of Lin Zhen and prepared to cut off Zhu Ling Shan's arm if Lin Zhen lost their bet.
• Zhu Ling Shan urged Lin Zhen to withdraw, but Lin Zhen insisted he would win and headed for the Heavenly Gate.
• Zhui Yue, the Eternal Life Realm Sky Gate Guardian Envoy, contacted Lin Zhen and explained that challengers had to ascend through their own strength.
• Lin Zhen combined his main body's and clone's Star Power, then shot past fifty thousand kilometers at remarkable speed, astonishing the watching Martial Artists.

Lin Zhen charged through the Heavenly Gate and reached 420,000 kilometers, placing tenth among Black Hole Stage Martial Artists, but learned he could not use Star Power Transfer during the trial. He returned to Zhu Ling Shan and made Sun Liang choose whose arm would be cut off, then gave her the knife.

• Lin Zhen surpassed 300,000 kilometers, drawing a crowd and forcing Sun Liang and Zhu Xiao Die to stay when a white-haired World King stopped them from leaving.
• Lin Zhen discovered that the Heavenly Gate barred Star Power Transfer, so he abandoned his attempt to break the record and stopped at 420,000 kilometers.
• Lin Zhen descended and returned to Zhu Ling Shan, while Sun Liang and Zhu Xiao Die remained under the white-haired World King's watch.
• Lin Zhen demanded that Sun Liang and Zhu Xiao Die honor their wager, and Sun Liang reluctantly volunteered his arm.
• Lin Zhen infused a knife with fire power and handed it to Zhu Ling Shan, offering her the chance to cut Sun Liang's arm.

Zhu Ling Shan severed Sun Liang’s arm with Lin Zhen’s help, then left after meeting Lin Zhen and thanking him. Lin Zhen stayed with Si Ren Jie and Tian Hao Yu, who realized he had concealed his true Heavenly Gate ability and warned him that Ke Xiangnan was a powerful rival.

• At the white-haired Realm King’s urging, Zhu Ling Shan slashed off Sun Liang’s arm, and Lin Zhen extinguished the flames before they could kill him.
• Sun Liang blamed Zhu Xiao Die and forced her to leave with him, while Zhu Ling Shan thanked Lin Zhen and added him as a Dimensional Universe friend.
• The white-haired Realm King introduced himself as Si Ren Jie, the Raging Wind Realm King, and summoned his old friend Tian Hao Yu to meet Lin Zhen.
• Tian Hao Yu and Si Ren Jie invited Lin Zhen to stay and cultivate beside them, then questioned whether he had hidden his strength during his Heavenly Gate attempt.
• Lin Zhen admitted that he had not shown his full ability, and the Realm Kings concluded that he could reach at least five hundred thousand kilometers.
• Si Ren Jie and Tian Hao Yu named Ke Xiangnan, who had reached five hundred and ten thousand kilometers on his first attempt, as Lin Zhen’s likely rival.

Lin Zhen agreed to help Tian Hao Yu defeat Ke Xiangnan for first place in the Black Hole Stage, then planned to raise his Original Star Power before attempting a breakthrough. Meanwhile, Ke Xiangnan and his brother Ke Xiangdong discussed Lin Zhen as a serious rival.

• Tian Hao Yu explained that the Qilin Clan had many members but prized Fire Qilin bloodlines and rewarded those who passed the Heavenly Gate first.
• Tian Hao Yu urged Lin Zhen to beat Ke Xiangnan, and Lin Zhen promised to claim first place in the Black Hole Stage.
• Lin Zhen, Tian Hao Yu, and Si Ren Jie drank together, deepening their bond before the two World Kings fell asleep.
• Lin Zhen calculated that he needed to raise his Original Star Power from seventy thousand to at least one hundred thousand, so he began a long period of cultivation.
• Ke Xiangnan bathed in a Flying Palace while Ke Xiangdong warned him not to underestimate Lin Zhen as a competitor.

Lin Zhen fled the Heavenly Gate after Ke Xiangdong sent Domain Kings to keep him from completing his cultivation, but his escape was a deception. His true body remained disguised in the Black Hole Stage line, leaving him hidden near Ke Xiangnan.

• Ke Xiangnan reached 890,000 kilometers on his third Heavenly Gate charge, while Lin Zhen continued expanding his Dark Star Space.
• Si Ren Jie and later Tian Hao Yu crossed the Heavenly Gate and ascended to the Origin Realm, leaving Lin Zhen without their protection.
• After receiving Zhu Ling Shan's warning that Ke Xiangdong was coming for him, Lin Zhen appeared to flee the Burgundy Nebula.
• Ke Xiangdong sent Domain Kings to pursue Lin Zhen and delay his cultivation for ten years so Ke Xiangnan could reach the Origin Realm first.
• Lin Zhen's pursuers chased only his clone; his true body had disguised himself as a Wolf Clan Martial Artist and remained at the end of the Black Hole Stage line.

Ke Xiangnan prepared to leave for the Origin Realm as the Black Hole Stage’s top-ranked Martial Artist, while Lin Zhen reached a breakthrough by releasing the power of his second star. A wormhole opened beside Heavenly Gate just as Lin Zhen’s Star Power erupted.

• Ke Xiangdong told Ke Xiangnan that the Fire Qilin Clan had arranged to bring him to the Origin Realm through a wormhole if he claimed first place in the Black Hole Stage.
• Zhu Ling Shan watched a masked Wolf Clan Martial Artist who reminded her of someone she could not forget, while another Martial Artist mocked him for never challenging Heavenly Gate.
• Lin Zhen’s Dark Star World expanded, and he released the Yue Bei Star’s power, increasing his Star Power by 50,000.
• The people around Lin Zhen mistook his explosive Star Power for a possible self-detonation and hurried away.
• Someone spotted a wormhole opening beside Heavenly Gate, and a group from outside the New Realm appeared amid falling flowers and music.

Ke Xiangnan arrived with his father and a Quasi-Eternal Life elder from the Origin Realm to attempt the Heavenly Gate, confident he would take first place. After mocking a Wolfman who challenged him, Ke Xiangnan began the trial and discovered the Wolfman had already pulled ahead.

• Ke Jianglong arrived from the Origin Realm with Elder Qin, a Quasi-Eternal Life warrior, and introduced his son Ke Xiangnan, who had trained for nearly three hundred years to prepare for the Heavenly Gate.
• Ke Xiangnan handed out Red Envelopes to the crowd, but Zhu Ling Shan challenged his claim to glory by saying Lin Zhen would have surpassed him if he were present.
• Ke Xiangnan invited other Black Hole Stage warriors to compete, while Ke Xiangdong assured their father that Lin Zhen was too far away to interfere.
• Ke Xiangnan mocked a Wolfman contestant and told him he should become a draft animal, but the Wolfman declared that his goal was first place.
• Ke Xiangdong started the Heavenly Gate trial, and Ke Xiangnan raced upward before noticing the Wolfman flying above him.

Ke Xiangnan tried to secure his passage through the Heavenly Gate by conserving his Star Power as rival fighters surged ahead. Just as he reached the lead near the finish, the Wolf Clan fighter who had fallen behind suddenly charged after him.

• A Wolf Clan fighter surprised Ke Xiangnan by taking the lead, prompting Ke Jianglong and Elder Qin to worry about Ke Xiangnan's standing.
• The crowd cheered for the Wolf Clan fighter while Ke Xiangnan held his pace and refused to waste Star Power chasing the early leaders.
• At three hundred thousand kilometers, a Demon Clan fighter took the lead, followed by a Dragon Race fighter, Ke Xiangnan, and the Wolf Clan fighter.
• Ke Xiangnan steadily passed the Dragon Race fighter and then the demon, taking first place beyond eight hundred thousand kilometers.
• Ke Xiangnan passed nine hundred thousand kilometers as Ke Jianglong and Elder Qin celebrated, but the Wolf Clan fighter suddenly surged forward toward him.

Lin Zhen overtook Ke Xiangnan at the Heavenly Gate, but Ke Jianglong struck him down before he could reach the summit. Elder Qin then gave Ke Jianglong the Mirror Image Space treasure, which he used to trap Lin Zhen in another dimension.

• Lin Zhen revealed himself to Ke Xiangnan and accelerated past him near the summit, winning the race to become the first Black Hole Stage Martial Artist to pass through the Heavenly Gate.
• Ke Xiangdong identified the Wolf Clan Martial Artist as Lin Zhen, and Ke Jianglong attacked him as he neared the summit.
• Lin Zhen dodged Ke Jianglong's fatal strike but fell away from the Heavenly Gate, and his transformation was undone for the watching crowd.
• Elder Qin gave Ke Jianglong the Mirror Image Space treasure and urged him to use it against Lin Zhen.
• Ke Jianglong activated the treasure, and Lin Zhen was swallowed into a dark other dimension.

Zhui Yue punished Ke Jianglong for sealing Lin Zhen and condemned Elder Qin for sabotaging a Fire Qilin genius. Trapped in a Different Dimension Space, Lin Zhen could neither cultivate nor escape, and he struggled to stay awake while hoping his avatar would reach him.

• Zhui Yue sealed Ke Jianglong in a Dimensional Rift for nine thousand years and told Elder Qin that Lin Zhen was also a Fire Qilin.
• Elder Qin regretted his actions, abandoned Ke Xiangnan, and returned to the Origin Realm as the other Martial Artists dispersed.
• Lin Zhen tried to break the Different Dimension Space with his spear, then discovered he could neither cultivate nor expand his Dark Star Space.
• Lin Zhen's avatar turned its spaceship toward the Chaotic Star River to evade its pursuers and reach the Dark Passage.
• The avatar fell asleep before reaching the Dark Passage, leaving Lin Zhen's main body alone to resist the drowsiness and wait for the avatar's growing Star River Beast form.

After seven hundred years trapped in a dimensional space, Lin Zhen reconnected with Chris and learned that Heavenly Gate would close in less than twenty years. He sent his clone to the Transformation Qilin Pool, hoping to gain the strength needed to break free.

• Chris awakened, contacted Lin Zhen, and told him that seven hundred years had passed while he was sealed.
• Lin Zhen learned that Heavenly Gate would close in eighteen years and sixteen days, leaving him desperate to escape the space.
• Chris suggested that a powerful external force might shatter the treasure sealing Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen realized his clone could seek greater strength.
• Lin Zhen's clone left the damaged warship, crossed the Bright Passage, and reached the Fire Kirin Empire without being intercepted.
• Lin Zhen's clone presented Tian Hao Yu's token to the palace guards, reached the Transformation Qilin Pool, and plunged into it in his Fire Kirin form.

Ke Xiangdong learned that Lin Zhen’s clone had entered the Transformation Qilin Pool and arranged an ambush at the Heavenly Gate for when it returned to rescue Lin Zhen’s sealed main body. Lin Zhen’s clone completed its transformation into a growth-stage Fire Qilin Star River Beast and raced toward the Heavenly Gate, while Realm King Lingxu and thirty Domain Kings prepared to kill it.

• Tian Hao Ming told Ke Xiangdong that Lin Zhen’s clone had entered the Transformation Qilin Pool, and Ke Xiangdong ordered his allies at the Heavenly Gate to prepare an ambush.
• Ke Xiangdong planned to let Lin Zhen’s clone search for the sealed main body so they could destroy both at once.
• Lin Zhen’s clone completed its transformation into a growth-stage Fire Qilin Star River Beast, reaching Domain King strength as Little Warm’s soul began to stir.
• Lin Zhen left the pool, traveled through a wormhole, hijacked an Eternal Crystal Spaceship, and raced toward the Heavenly Gate before Little Warm awakened.
• Realm King Lingxu and thirty Domain Kings gathered at the Heavenly Gate and vowed to destroy Lin Zhen’s clone when it arrived.

Lin Zhen’s Fire Qilin clone revealed Mirror Image Space while trying to rescue his true body, but neither his attacks nor the combined assault of thirty Domain Kings could break the treasure. As Realm King Lingxu attacked and Little Warm neared awakening, Lin Zhen realized it was the thousandth anniversary of his rebirth and faced a potentially fatal blow.

• Realm King Lingxu concealed himself and thirty Domain Kings near the Heavenly Gate, waiting for Lin Zhen’s clone to arrive.
• Lin Zhen located his true body inside Mirror Image Space and attacked the hidden treasure from outside while his true body struck from within, forcing it to appear.
• Lingxu ordered the Domain Kings to attack, but Lin Zhen teleported clear and their combined assault failed to damage Mirror Image Space.
• Lin Zhen fought the thirty Domain Kings, holding them off with his powerful Star River Beast body, until Lingxu joined the battle as Little Warm neared awakening.
• As Lingxu swooped down with a Realm King’s attack, Lin Zhen’s movements grew stiff, and he realized it was exactly one thousand years since his rebirth.

As Realm King Lingxu and thirty Domain Kings overwhelmed Lin Zhen, he recalled the Black Hole that had reborn him a thousand years earlier and fought back with everything he had. Just as he prepared to self-detonate inside Lingxu’s Inner World, a Naked Singularity appeared near the Heavenly Gate.

• Lin Zhen failed to withstand Lingxu’s Top-Grade Celestial Artifact and remembered his failed Meteor Stage breakthrough a thousand years earlier, when a Black Hole destroyed his body and rebirthed him.
• Lin Zhen rallied and unleashed the full power of Heaven Burning Flame, holding off the thirty Domain Kings while feinting a Teleport to strike Lingxu with Mental Evil Spirit Impact.
• Lin Zhen tackled Lingxu and drove the Spirit Evil Spirit Cone into his Mental Sea of Consciousness, then began preparing to self-detonate to kill him.
• Lingxu pulled Lin Zhen into his Inner World and claimed its World Power would protect him from the blast, even if the world and his realm were destroyed.
• A Naked Singularity appeared at the edge of the starry sky, spreading a terrifying presence across the Heavenly Gate.

A black hole formed above the Heavenly Gate, drawing fleeing Martial Artists to their deaths while Lin Zhen waited calmly, relying on his knowledge as a Black Hole Beast. Realm King Lingxu sheltered behind an Origin Realm treasure, but the black hole shattered it, freeing Lin Zhen’s true body after more than seven hundred years.

• The black hole appeared, and the crowd scattered while Lin Zhen remained in place to face it.
• Realm King Piaomiao raced toward the Heavenly Gate, but the black hole pulled him in just before he could escape.
• The black hole swallowed Domain Kings and other fleeing Martial Artists, while Lin Zhen moved slowly by remaining still.
• Realm King Lingxu hid behind an Origin Realm treasure and claimed its protection would let him outlast the black hole.
• The treasure cracked and shattered under the black hole’s pull, releasing Lin Zhen’s true body from the Mirror Image Space.

After escaping the Mirror Image Space, Lin Zhen fought Realm King Lingxu as the black hole swallowed the Martial Artists around them. Lingxu believed he had survived the black hole, while Lin Zhen used his Black Hole Storm to confront it as he reached its Naked Singularity.

• Lingxu attacked Lin Zhen’s true body, and Lin Zhen’s avatar took the blow before transferring its sixty thousand Star Power to the true body.
• Little Warm awakened and was injured blocking Lingxu’s next attack, giving Lin Zhen the chance to bombard Lingxu with Space Slashes.
• As they entered the black hole, Lingxu used a hidden avatar to knock Lin Zhen into the Bottomless Abyss, then believed the fading black hole had left him the sole survivor.
• Lin Zhen survived the initial fall by creating a miniature black hole that rotated opposite the true black hole.
• Lin Zhen reached the black hole’s Naked Singularity, facing the most critical moment of his thousand-year preparation.

Lin Zhen devoured the dying Naked Singularity and used the Black Hole’s energy to break through to Star System Level Four. With his Star Power reaching 670,000, he prepared to face Realm King Lingxu without fear.

• Lin Zhen approached the weakened Naked Singularity and transformed into his Black Hole Beast form.
• Lin Zhen swallowed the Naked Singularity, then guided its Death Ripples and energy into the Black Hole within his dantian.
• Lin Zhen’s Black Hole collapsed as his dantian formed a star system, and his breakthrough carried him through several Star System levels.
• Lin Zhen reached Star System Level Four with 520 stars and 670,000 total Star Power, including the power of Dark Star, Yue Bei, and Ying Huo.
• Lin Zhen sensed his new strength and resolved to claim victory over Realm King Lingxu.

Lin Zhen defeated Realm King Lingxu and reunited with Little Warm, who had survived inside the black hole and advanced to Domain King. After arranging an identity and future cultivation for Little Warm, Lin Zhen left for the Origin Realm to find Little Phoenix and settle matters with Ke Xiangnan.

• Lin Zhen used his Black Hole Storm to overwhelm the weakened Lingxu and devour his body, but Lingxu's soul survived inside the black hole.
• Little Warm emerged, devoured Lingxu's soul, and revealed that he had survived and reached the Domain King stage.
• Lin Zhen and Little Warm reunited, agreed to call each other brothers, and Little Warm took human form as Lin Nuan.
• Lin Zhen gave Lin Nuan an identity and the title of Baron, then asked him to cultivate and help Lin Zhen's family if needed.
• Lin Zhen said farewell to Lin Nuan and his family, then walked toward the Heavenly Gate to enter the Origin Realm.
