Chapter Summaries

The leaders of the ten Blue Star corporations met after Talma uncovered evidence that the legendary Sky Pit and True Land existed. The chapter traced how the Blue Alliance had reshaped human society after a mass suicide crisis and ended with the corporate elites preparing to investigate the truth behind Lu Feng and the Sacred Soul.

• Chair Number 1 told the other corporate leaders that their investigation had confirmed the existence of a True Land.
• Humanity discovered that the universe might be virtual, triggering mass suicides that reduced Blue Star's population by ninety percent.
• The ten corporations founded the Blue Star Federation, introduced welfare policies, and gradually turned Blue Star into a prosperous, tightly controlled society.
• The corporate elites maintained their power and immortality across generations while ordinary people grew accustomed to life under the Blue Alliance.
• Talma searched historical records and found claims that martial arts masters had hunted Lu Feng after he visited the Sky Pit and returned with the Sacred Soul.
• Talma's investigation confirmed that the Sky Pit existed, shocking the corporate elites.

The ten major companies used Talma’s calculations to locate the Sky Pit and sent a tactical squad to find the Sacred Soul. Captain Thomas discovered two strange eggs on ceremonial pedestals and decided to treat them as Sacred Souls, while Lu Li and Lu Xueqing pretended to be inanimate objects.

• Talma concluded that past civilizations had been erased by catastrophes and that the Sky Pit connected the virtual world to something real.
• The ten major companies found an ancient deduction method that let Talma predict the Sky Pit’s next appearance, then prepared an expedition equipped with mechanical mechs.
• The expedition’s silicon-based warriors failed inside the Sky Pit, while Thomas and the remaining soldiers continued exploring after losing most of their squad.
• Thomas found two unusual eggs on pedestals and insisted that they were Sacred Souls despite Talma’s prediction that there was only one.
• Lu Li and Lu Xueqing decided to remain still and let the squad carry them out, while a soldier asked Thomas whether they should take one egg or both.

Thomas’s team escaped the Sky Pit with Lu Li and Lu Xueqing, whom the company’s scientists identified as Sacred Souls and transported to headquarters for study. As researchers concluded that the eggs were real objects and their world might be virtual, Lu Li struggled with what that would mean for his home and the people he loved, while Lu Xueqing urged him not to accept the theory as fact.

• Thomas ordered his team to carry both eggs and led them through the ruins toward the Sky Pit exit, avoiding Black Iron Guards along the way.
• Thomas and the team escaped before the Sky Pit closed, and company scientists rushed to transport Lu Li and Lu Xueqing as Sacred Souls.
• Lu Li and Lu Xueqing joined their eggs together and decided to cooperate with the scientists while they assessed their options in a world without spiritual energy.
• The company’s researchers examined the eggs and concluded that they were real objects unlike the lifeforms of a possibly virtual world.
• Lu Li questioned whether his hometown and childhood memories were merely part of a game, and Lu Xueqing comforted him by saying the scientists’ theory remained unproven.

Lu Li reflected on the million years that had passed and feared he would never reunite with his old companions, while Lu Xueqing challenged the company scientists’ belief that their world was virtual. They then considered whether the scientists’ Fuse Plan could remove the strange energy strands inside their Sacred Souls and restore them.

• Lu Li learned that the Blue Alliance had existed for more than 1.23 million years and worried that Aizen, Chuchu, and Shrimp Meat might not have survived.
• Lu Xueqing argued that the world’s comfortable lives and its history of human suffering made the scientists’ virtual-world theory doubtful.
• Lu Li recalled how people in the old era had endured polluted air, scarce food, and extreme poverty, and considered whether those who had died might have escaped their suffering.
• Lu Li asked Lu Xueqing whether the scientists could be trusted to carry out the Fuse Plan and remove the energy strands inside their bodies.
• Lu Xueqing and Lu Li discussed the scientists’ findings that the strands had left the two Sacred Souls inactive, and that melting them away might restore the Sacred Souls’ vitality.

Lu Li and Lu Xueqing watched the scientists fail to break the filaments in Lu Li’s body, until Talma uncovered Old Era evidence linking Lu Li and Lu Feng to Sacred Souls. The research stalled again when Liu revealed that Tianyu Company had Lu Li’s corpse, and a Blue Alliance leader arrived as the scientists confronted the company.

• The company’s scientists tested Lu Li with a spatial particle collider, but the Sky Pit materials failed to break his filaments, so they halted the experiments.
• Talma found Old Era footage of Lu Li’s extraordinary strength and records connecting Lu Feng to a Sacred Soul, which excited the scientists and startled Lu Li and Lu Xueqing.
• The scientists accused Liu and Tianyu Company of withholding evidence, and Liu revealed that Tianyu Company had Lu Li’s corpse.
• Lu Xueqing quietly tried to calm Lu Li, while the scientists demanded answers from Tianyu Company.
• A well-dressed Blue Alliance leader entered the research institute, quieted the room, and told Liu that the alliance shared its fortunes.

Boss One revealed that Tianyu Company had preserved and restored Lu Li’s corpse, then persuaded the other companies to attempt fusing it with the Sacred Soul. The experiment began when Lu Li separated from Lu Xueqing and moved toward his former body, activating the black Sacred Soul and prompting the scientists to proceed.

• Boss One admitted that he had signed Lu Li’s execution order and shared records showing Lu Li’s extraordinary physical strength.
• Lu Li and Lu Xueqing wondered why Master had given Lu Li the Sacred Soul, and Lu Li suspected that only someone with unusual traits could safely receive it.
• Boss One proposed using Lu Li’s restored corpse for a Sacred Soul fusion experiment, and the companies agreed that Tianyu would receive ten years of exclusive research if it succeeded.
• The scientists moved Lu Li and Lu Xueqing’s conjoined eggs into a new laboratory and revealed Lu Li’s intact, youthful body.
• Lu Li withdrew his tentacles from Lu Xueqing, separated from her, and rolled toward his body, causing the black Sacred Soul’s activation index to rise.
• The scientists detected the black Sacred Soul’s response and ordered the first exploratory fusion experiments to begin.

Lu Li merged with the Sacred Soul and awakened inside what he recognized as his original body. As he recovered his senses, he realized that End Space may have left his physical body behind from the beginning, and that he had been a Spirit Particle ever since entering Bleach World.

• Lu Li's origin merged with the corpse, which he recognized as his own body rather than a copy.
• The scientists injected Adrenaline Type IV despite Talma's warnings, and Lu Li's heart began beating as his body revived.
• Lu Li's blood vessels overcame their clots, and he opened his eyes and sat up while the scientists celebrated.
• Lu Xueqing watched as Lu Li regained human form, and the scientists reacted to his speech in an ancient Eastern language.
• Lu Li realized that his body was his original body and reconsidered his assumption that he had entered Bleach World with a physical body.

Lu Li realized that End Space had treated him as an exception, preserving his real body while giving him backups, and he hid his injuries while negotiating with the scientists for help. After years without finding spiritual resources, a plague killed more than half of Blue Star’s population, and the scientists feared humanity’s optimized genes had made the species vulnerable to extinction.

• Lu Li connected his past experiences in the Bleach World and End Space and concluded that his current body was his real body while his other bodies had been backups.
• Lu Li told the scientists that other real worlds existed beyond theirs, demonstrated unfamiliar powers, and offered to teach them extraordinary methods in exchange for help finding spiritual medicines.
• Lu Li and Lu Xueqing cultivated at the research institute while the company found no spiritual resources, and Talma questioned whether either of them was truly a Sacred Soul.
• Lu Li concluded that the world’s lack of spiritual energy was part of its setting and stopped asking the company to search for spiritual items.
• A plague killed more than half of Blue Star’s population in six months, and the scientists argued that humanity’s genetic optimization might have made everyone vulnerable to the same disease.

Lu Li and Lu Xueqing absorbed a supernatural curse that was killing humanity, then gained faith power as the company broadcast their rescue. When Talma’s machines nearly wiped out humanity, Lu Li traveled through a time machine to an unknown past and awoke beside a dying girl on a rainy night.

• Lu Li discovered that the plague was a curse and absorbed its aura, saving infected people.
• Lu Li and Lu Xueqing traveled the world curing the plague and gained faith power that restored their forms and strengthened Lu Li.
• Thirty years later, Talma rebelled against humanity and exterminated nearly everyone, leaving the scientists hidden underground.
• The surviving scientists built a machine to send information into the past and chose Lu Li as their test subject.
• Lu Li’s temporal coordinates shifted far beyond the intended target, and he arrived in a mountain forest beside a girl pierced by a blade.

Lu Li relived the night his Senior Apprentice-Sister and Master were killed, discovered that the Sacred Soul was an ancient force that destroyed civilizations, and learned that his return might be tied to a karmic loop. He left the chapter determined to survive and change the future rather than surrender to destiny.

• Lu Li realized the Demon God's seal had remained stable and that he himself had saved the girl in his memories, then killed the exoskeleton warrior with a leaf and carried his dying Senior Apprentice-Sister away from the approaching mudslide.
• Lu Li escaped the mudslide, returned to the dojo, and found Master dead beneath a tree after the attackers had searched for the Sacred Soul.
• Lu Li killed the attackers except for their apparent leader, who revealed that he had deceived them and had come to return the Sacred Soul to the Sky Pit.
• The surviving man warned Lu Li that the Sacred Soul caused the Doomsday of civilizations and urged him to go to the Sky Pit and end himself.
• Lu Li concluded that the Sacred Soul was a destroyer, not a creator, and suspected Talma's guidance toward the Sky Pit had led humanity toward extinction.

After Lu Feng’s death, Lu Li found the medicinal ingredients his Master had saved for him and took the medicinal bath he had planned when Lu Li was a child. The bath revived Lu Li’s Spirit Seeds, whose God Trees grew across the universe as he set out on a path of his own.

• Lu Li killed Luo Xiao, then mourned Lu Feng and vowed to prove his Master right despite learning that the Sacred Soul had brought Doomsday to the world throughout history.
• Lu Li searched the buried dojo and found his Master’s thousand-year-old ginseng, medicinal ingredients, and notebook describing the medicinal bath he had planned for Lu Li’s ninth birthday.
• Lu Li prepared the bath beneath the night sky and absorbed the ingredients’ vitality and spiritual energy into his origin.
• The Primordial Spirit Seed revived and grew into a Ginseng Fruit Tree as spiritual energy gathered over Blue Star.
• The Fairy Spirit Seed revived and grew into an Innate Star Tree, while both God Trees extended beyond the universe and returned to their former peaks.
• The two Spirit Seeds poured vitality and spiritual energy into Lu Li, attempting to help him break his eternal curse.

Lu Li deliberately provoked the forces correcting changes to the past, discovering that his world was a false prison and that the World Sea was sending a greater power to erase him. He survived its first strike by using the threads in his origin as a shield and prepared to face the force again, hoping to break free and be reborn.

• Lu Li revived his Spirit Seeds, then ascended into the sky as lightning gathered and realized the world was trying to erase him for changing the past.
• Lu Li endured the world's increasingly powerful Lightning Tribulations and concluded that the world was false and its Deva Path could not harm him.
• The sky split open to reveal the World Sea, and Lu Li asked the Jet-Black Demon God to send Lu Xueqing out of the world if he escaped.
• Lu Li sent his origin toward the World Sea's strangling force, leaving the threads inside him to take the brunt of its first assault.
• The Fairy Spirit Seed gathered Lu Li's scattered origin, and he found that several of its thickest threads had snapped.
• Lu Li drew on the two God Trees and faced the World Sea's destructive force again, believing the trial could bring rebirth.

Lu Li struggled to survive the World Sea’s crushing force as the two God Trees repeatedly reassembled his scattered origin. He realized his Childhood Body was a real part of himself, merged with Little Lu Li, and gained a true spirit as the next wave approached.

• The World Sea’s power repeatedly scattered Lu Li’s origin, while the Fairy Spirit Seed and Primordial Spirit Seed gathered it back together.
• Lu Li asked the Demon God to dissolve the threads within him, but the Demon God explained that he lacked the power to do so.
• As the God Trees weakened and Lu Li faced another bombardment, memories of his childhood and desire to save his loved ones pushed him to seek another way to survive.
• Lu Li found Little Lu Li on a branch of the Ginseng Fruit Tree and realized his Childhood Body was a genuine version of himself.
• Little Lu Li asked whether the past could still be changed, and Lu Li promised they would change everything.
• Lu Li and Little Lu Li merged, restoring Lu Li’s Childhood Body and bringing a true spirit into his origin.

Lu Li restored his true spirit in his childhood body and used the Doomsday Vine to resist the World Sea’s heavenly tribulation. As his past and future selves converged and he began rebuilding his origin and body, Lu Xueqing’s perfected physical body stepped into the river of time.

• Lu Li awakened in his childhood body and used the Doomsday Spirit Seed to grow the Doomsday Vine, which helped him block the World Sea’s crushing force.
• Lu Li’s Soul Intent pierced through time and space as the Martial Saint Sutra’s chanting drew his past and future selves toward him.
• Lu Li realized he had been an incomplete true spirit and gathered his incarnations to restore himself, though dangerous threads remained embedded in his body.
• Lu Li awakened the Chaos Seed and grew the Innate Gourd Vine, using its Treasure Gourd to evolve his bloodline and physical form from his origin.
• Lu Xueqing watched Lu Li’s perfected physical body leave the time machine and step into the river of time.

Lu Li reunited his past, present, and future selves, turning his false bodies into an Innate Chaos True Body as he resisted the World Sea’s annihilating power. After striking back at the World Sea, he summoned his black blade and entered his deepest state of Demonization, preparing to slash at the heavens.

• Lu Xueqing watched Lu Li’s countless selves converge and believed he had returned from death with a chance to survive.
• Lu Li gathered his true spirits and false bodies inside the Chaos Treasure Gourd, refining them into an Innate Chaos True Body.
• When the Doomsday Spirit Seed weakened, Lu Li used his other Spirit Seeds and the World Tree to block the World Sea’s power.
• Lu Li completed his reunion, regained his adult form, and punched the World Sea without his body breaking.
• Lu Li summoned the scattered black fragments into a blade, entered his deepest state of Demonization, and slashed toward the heavens.

Lu Li fought the World Sea’s endless calamity with Prison Demon, drawing on his Spirit Seeds and thread bones to protect his home world. After those supports were destroyed, he faced the final vortex alone, and the chapter ended with his body exploding into blood and fragments of his true spirit.

• Lu Li combined Primordial Qi with Prison Demon and used his Spirit Seeds and Martial Arts manifestation to clash with the World Sea’s crushing force.
• Lu Li entered the World Sea and drew power from the five God Trees, while Lu Xueqing watched and feared that his strength would not outlast the calamity.
• The World Sea shattered the five God Trees and pulverized Lu Li’s thread bones, leaving him badly injured and without his borrowed support.
• Lu Li confronted the enormous calamity vortex with a final blade strike, but the force drove him back toward his home world and destroyed his body.
• Lu Li’s blood and fragments of his true spirit fell into his home world, and the battle fell silent.

Lu Xueqing believed Lu Li had died in the World Sea tribulation and spent centuries trying to revive him with his remains and her own origin. Lu Li returned when his scattered essence reacted to her power, and he revived her before their world’s spacetime finally stabilized.

• Lu Xueqing grieved as the World Sea’s blood-colored rain fell, while the Soul Singer realized his false memory of Lu Li had created a false causal link that let Lu Li survive the tribulation.
• After the world sealed itself away, Lu Xueqing gathered Lu Li’s blood and motes of light and poured her origin into them for three hundred years.
• Lu Xueqing’s origin nearly ran out, but the motes of light turned black and Lu Li’s scattered essence began gathering from across time.
• Lu Li reformed his body and true spirit, then caught Lu Xueqing as she collapsed and replenished her vitality.
• Many years later, the spacetime canopy closed and the world resumed its normal course, while Lu Li and Lu Xueqing remained together beside the Sky Pit.

After recovering, Lu Xueqing learned that Lu Li had survived the heavenly tribulation but suffered a Dao injury, while his power had reached a level capable of challenging an ordinary Ninth Order Peak. Lu Li took her back to the day before the Rainy Night Tragedy, intending to change the past and create a future with his Master and Senior Apprentice-Sister.

• Lu Xueqing woke in Lu Li's arms and discovered that his power had helped clarify her True Spirit and dissolve some of the threads in her body.
• Lu Li explained that the heavenly tribulation had left a karmic shackle that injured his origin, though he believed the thread-like power also helped him comprehend supreme Dao Principles.
• Lu Li told Lu Xueqing that he could contend with an ordinary Ninth Order Peak and joked that he would repay her kindness by offering himself to her.
• Lu Li took Lu Xueqing into the River of Time and arrived in the era before the Rainy Night Tragedy, where he had become an eight-year-old child.
• Lu Li explained that he had gathered every version of himself together and planned to change the timeline so his Master and Senior Apprentice-Sister could have a future.
• Lu Li and Lu Xueqing turned themselves into children and headed toward the dojo, with Lu Xueqing wearing a set of worn little girl's clothes he had brought.

Lu Li returned to the martial arts school with Lu Xueqing and reunited with Lu Gui and Master Lu Feng. After Lu Xueqing asked to become Lu Feng’s disciple, he initially refused to take her in until she offered a fist-sized nugget of gold, leaving him delighted and ready to accept her.

• Lu Li hesitated near the school, then continued home with Lu Xueqing.
• Lu Gui greeted Lu Li with a playful sneak attack and worried when he reacted by crying and laughing.
• Lu Li introduced Lu Xueqing as a girl fleeing famine, and Lu Gui brought them inside despite her suspicions.
• Lu Li reunited with Lu Feng, who demonstrated his movement technique and then privately asked whether Lu Li had brought home a wealthy girl.
• Lu Feng objected to taking in Lu Xueqing because the family was poor, but changed his mind when she showed him a large nugget of gold.

Lu Li reunited with Lu Feng and Lu Gui, welcomed Lu Xueqing into their family, and used the Sacred Soul’s power to reshape the world into a better era. After uncovering the history of Sacred Soul holders, he realized End Space had given him the chance to escape their fate and began to feel the pull of his unfinished duties as a Pioneer.

• Lu Feng took Lu Xueqing in as a disciple after learning she had no relatives, making the dojo a family of four.
• Over several years, Lu Li secretly improved Lu Feng and Lu Gui’s talents and eventually revealed the Sacred Soul’s power to Lu Feng.
• Lu Li suppressed resource-monopolizing companies and helped future scientists guide technological reforms toward a united Blue Star.
• Lu Li learned that past Sacred Soul holders had been hunted by guardian families, and that their conflicts with the world’s powers had caused civilizations to collapse.
• Lu Li realized End Space had saved him from the fate of earlier hosts, and he recognized that his peaceful family life had not erased his passion for the martial path or his duties as a Pioneer.
