Chapter Summaries

Qin Mu prepared for his Dangerous-level cultivation mission in Blood River World, buying a Mechanical Race spaceship and equipment while studying the mission and the world’s Blood Luo Crystals. After three months of travel, he arrived at the world’s edge, where his Swarm took control of the spaceship and disguised it as a meteorite as he approached the vast continent.

• Qin Mu reviewed his Virtual Universe Company benefits and bought a high-performance Mechanical Race spaceship, local-style armor, boots, and Force Weapons for his Mo Sha Clan members.
• Qin Mu studied the Blood River World mission, learned its language, and prepared to seek Blood Luo Crystals and the Blood Warrior title.
• Qin Mu completed three months of cultivation aboard the spaceship and arrived near Tian Shi Palace at Blood River World.
• Qin Mu collected his purchases and placed the Mechanical Race spaceship inside the Ice Mountain Giant Beast’s Origin Core, where the Swarm and Berna Clan Metal Lifeform upgraded it.
• Qin Mu flew toward Blood River World in the disguised spaceship as the Swarm’s first expedition into a secret realm world began.

Qin Mu entered Blood River World, began gathering intelligence and resources for the Swarm, and found a concealed cavern suitable for its Mother Nest. After taking control of Blood Saber Stronghold’s leader, he learned that the Haifeng Family’s mermaid hunts could guide the Swarm into the Demon Sea.

• Qin Mu descended through Blood River World’s cloud layers, chose the Demon Sea as a future target, and Zergified a tiger-like desolate beast to learn about nearby humans.
• Qin Mu sent Mo Sha Clan members to gather intelligence, dispatched Rock Giants to search for a Mother Nest site, and bred giant eagles from a captured desolate beast’s genes.
• Qin Mu rode the tiger to Blood Saber Stronghold, captured its leader with soul chains, and learned that the stronghold was tied to the Haifeng Family, a group of slave traders that hunted mermaids in the Demon Sea.
• Qin Mu decided to target the Haifeng Family after entering the city and discovered a natural underground cavern where the Swarm’s Mother Nest could be placed.

Qin Mu established a hidden foothold in Blood River World, entered Red Leaf City, and took control of the Haifeng Family. After finding a Blood Luo Crystal, he planned to secure Red Leaf Territory and search for more.

• A Mo Sha Clan warrior planted a Mother Nest in the Youhe Mountain Range, creating the Swarm’s first foothold in Blood River World.
• Qin Mu traveled to Red Leaf City with Teng Yuan and the Swarm’s disguised merchant caravan, then gathered information while waiting for nightfall.
• Qin Mu entered the Haifeng Family’s inner residence with Teng Yuan and used soul control to pass its guards and reach the core area.
• Qin Mu’s Mo Sha Clan warriors defeated and captured the Haifeng Family’s three Domain Lord level experts, allowing him to take control of the family.
• Qin Mu read the experts’ memories, found a Blood Luo Crystal, and placed it in the Core World for a Mother Nest to analyze.

Qin Mu tested a Blood Luo Crystal, discovering that the Swarm could begin analyzing the Universe Lord-level Gold Beast God despite the immense strain. He then fused with the crystal and studied its gene-altering effects, leaving him determined to remove the willpower embedded in its power.

• Qin Mu’s Swarm suppressed the Blood Luo Crystal’s fierce willpower, but its analysis nearly overloaded the Mother Nests, so he stopped after glimpsing part of the Gold Beast God’s life structure.
• Qin Mu decided to strengthen the Swarm before attempting another analysis and to study how Blood Luo Crystals altered its units; he planned to collect more crystals and establish Mother Nests in the Demon Sea and future mission worlds.
• Qin Mu examined the memories of Haifeng Family leaders, identified the major powers in Red Leaf Territory and the likely locations of their Blood Luo Crystals, then ordered the Swarm to bring him the other leaders.
• Qin Mu sent Ice Mountain, transformed into a burly man, to capture the Red Leaf City Lord and considered using Ice Mountain’s Change Technique to secure a position in a world city and obtain Blood Luo Crystals.
• Qin Mu fused with a Blood Luo Crystal while the Mother Nest monitored his body, and the crystal altered his genes and improved his perception and power across all laws.
• Qin Mu sensed that the crystal’s power contained a will and resolved to find a way to remove it.

Qin Mu placed a second Mother Nest deep in the Demon Sea and began using the Swarm’s Zergification to infiltrate the Blood Luo World. By the end, Bingshan had seized control of twenty-one lord cities and gathered Blood Luo Crystals as Qin Mu looked toward expanding the Swarm across the universe.

• Qin Mu sent a team carrying a Mother Nest into the Demon Sea, where a Domain Lord-level Ice Mountain Giant Beast established it on the seafloor.
• Qin Mu ordered Bingshan to use Red Leaf City as a base and Zergify forces in nearby lord cities before moving against the world city.
• Bingshan infiltrated Radiant City, Zergified its lord and generals, and ordered them to seize Blood Luo Crystals from the Chima Family.
• Bingshan swept through additional lord cities, while Tian Shi Palace’s monitors noticed Qin Mu repeatedly traveling in and out of the Blood Luo World.
• Qin Mu counted twenty-one occupied lord cities and twenty-six harvested Blood Luo Crystals, then considered the Swarm’s future expansion across the universe.

Qin Mu fused Blood Luo Crystals to raise his Life Gene Level, reaching 500 times before his body rejected another crystal. He planned to strengthen the Swarm and investigate ways to surpass that limit, while delaying a journey to the Ancient God Ruins until the Swarm secured more crystals.

• Qin Mu fused Blood Luo Crystals in the Mother Nest, becoming a Blood Warrior after three, reaching a hundredfold Gene Multiplier after ten, and discovering he could exceed the hundredfold limit as a Zerg Overlord.
• Qin Mu continued fusing crystals until the fifty-first fusion failed, leaving his body at a 500-fold Gene Multiplier.
• Qin Mu considered four ways to grow stronger: harness the Ancient God Ruins' baleful aura, raise his body's genetic foundation, use Beast God Blood, or research how Blood Luo Crystals enhanced genes.
• Qin Mu learned that Iceberg had swept through more than a hundred lord cities and collected 308 Blood Luo Crystals while heading toward him.
• Qin Mu chose to strengthen the Zerg Units and research Blood Luo Crystal enhancement rather than travel to the distant Ancient God Ruins yet.

Qin Mu tested Blood Luo Crystal fusion on human clones and giant beasts, discovering that the crystals enhanced compatible bodies and strengthened a Golden Horn Beast’s claw. After the Golden Horn Beast fused one hundred crystals and formed a complete Beast God pattern, Qin Mu wondered where he could obtain blood from the other Beast Gods.

• Qin Mu created ten human test subjects and found that the weakest bodies failed to fuse with a Blood Luo Crystal, while a Stellar-level subject succeeded.
• Qin Mu had a Golden Horn Beast and Ice Mountain Giant Beast fuse Blood Luo Crystals, and both completed initial enhancements focused on their right claws.
• Qin Mu sent Mo Sha Clan members and a Domain Lord-level Ice Mountain Giant Beast toward the nearest World City to gather intelligence before targeting its Lord for more crystals.
• The Ice Mountain Giant Beast’s fusion failed after ninety crystals, while the Golden Horn Beast continued successfully and transformed its claw with a Beast God pattern.
• After the Golden Horn Beast fused one hundred crystals, its claw displayed a complete roaring Beast God head, and Qin Mu wondered where to find other Beast God blood.

Bingshan infiltrated Fengning World City, defeated its World Lord Fei Hua, and turned him into a Zerg, gaining over eighty thousand Blood Luo Crystals for Qin Mu. Back in his World Lord World, Qin Mu continued experiments on Blood Luo Crystal enhancement and bloodline fusion, but the first attempt to combine several powerful genes ended in failure.

• Bingshan led the Mo Sha Clan assault on Fengning World City's City Lord's Manor and overpowered Fei Hua with his world projection and soul attack.
• Bingshan Zergified Fei Hua, who handed over 85,631 Blood Luo Crystals and agreed to bring the city's leaders into the Swarm.
• Bingshan left Fengning World City and returned to Qin Mu while Tian Shi Palace's observers wondered why Qin Mu had visited a World City.
• Qin Mu enhanced Starry Sky Giant Beasts with Blood Luo Crystals and began large-scale experiments to study their effects.
• Qin Mu started bloodline-fusion research using human genes and Peak Bloodline Beast genes, but the first engineered worm egg exploded.

Qin Mu spent two years researching genetic fusion in the Blood River World, creating a powerful but unstable hybrid and improving his own body. He then set out with Ice Mountain for the Ancient God Ruins and arranged to meet Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God in the Virtual Universe.

• Qin Mu examined a thousand-meter hybrid test subject made from giant-beast genes and Blood Luo Crystals, noting that it could survive for only half a month before its genes collapsed.
• Qin Mu used a successful genetic template to enhance his own body, raising its Gene Multiplier to fifteen times with the aid of Blood Luo Crystals.
• Qin Mu reflected that the Swarm had Zergified nearly a hundred world cities and collected nearly six million Blood Luo Crystals while Ice Mountain expanded its network.
• Qin Mu decided to visit the Ancient God Ruins and have Ice Mountain infiltrate the Immortal Temple, then boarded the Mechanical Race spaceship with Ice Mountain.
• Qin Mu logged into the Virtual Universe, answered messages, and arranged to meet Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God in Yuxiang Mountain's Public Zone.

Qin Mu told Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God about his gene-enhancement research and invited them to undergo upgrades in the Blood River World after leaving Chaos City. He then tested the Immortal Altar and discovered that his physical Force Application was far weaker than he had expected, leaving him determined to train it.

• Qin Mu explained that he could enhance their genes with Starry Sky Giant Beast genes and Blood Luo Crystals, potentially increasing their strength and Law Comprehension, while warning that the process would be painful and the Blood River World dangerous.
• Qin Mu assigned Luo Feng Golden Horn Beast genes and planned Destruction Beast gene enhancements for Hong and Thunder God, then described the Blood River World missions and the mission limits imposed on Virtual Universe Company core members.
• Hong and Thunder God accepted that they would need to face their own trials, and Qin Mu chose not to tell Teacher Yu Chen about his breakthrough because it depended on the Zerg Mother Nest.
• Qin Mu entered the Immortal Altar and scored a best Force Application result of only 58 units after hundreds of attempts.
• Qin Mu decided to hatch humanoid Zerg Units, train them in spear techniques and combat, and improve his own control over his body.

Qin Mu passed the Illusion Sea’s tenth island, where the illusion of his past life helped him let go of old fears, then stopped to keep Earth’s uniqueness hidden. After traveling for more than two months, he reached the Ancient God Ruins and descended into the site where the Beast God had fallen.

• Qin Mu used his Swarm Willpower and firm state of mind to pass the Illusion Sea’s first ten islands, including an illusion of his former life as an office worker.
• The black-scaled elder reported Qin Mu’s achievement to the company’s upper echelons, while Chaos City Lord watched him pass the tenth island with approval.
• Qin Mu left the Illusion Sea without attempting the next island because he feared that drawing attention to his abilities could expose Earth’s uniqueness.
• Qin Mu traveled toward the Ancient God Ruins aboard a Mechanical Race spacecraft, studying laws and adjusting the Zerg Units during the journey.
• Qin Mu reached the Ancient God Ruins, passed through the blood-red clouds, and recognized the vast landscape as the place where the Beast God had fallen.

Qin Mu explored the Ancient God Ruins, seeking the Immortal Temple’s treasures and sites where killing intent could transform the Swarm. He discovered a Killing Intent Vortex whose core held immense Space Law Secret Patterns that rapidly evolved his genes, and he ordered the area secured for further study.

• Qin Mu sent Ice Mountain to infiltrate the Immortal Temple and deployed Mo Sha Clan warriors, Rock Giants, and experimental subjects to search the ruins.
• Qin Mu found that the ruins’ killing intent slowly transformed bodies through a process resembling Beast God transformation, then directed his forces to seek places where it was strongest.
• Qin Mu captured Lü Ao, an Immortal Temple genius, read his memories, and ordered him to contact his fellow trainees so the Mo Sha Clan could capture them for Blood Luo Crystal experiments.
• Qin Mu followed Lü Ao’s memories to the center of a giant pit’s Killing Intent Vortex and entered its red core.
• Qin Mu discovered eight enormous Space Law Secret Patterns and visions of a giant lizard-like beast and a spear, while the golden light rapidly transformed his genes.
• Qin Mu summoned tens of thousands of Zerg Warriors to seal off the pit and ordered them to search for other deep pits with similar vortices.

Qin Mu continued studying the Killing Intent Vortices and using their Golden Secret Patterns to improve his experiments in genetic fusion. He chose the Swarm’s research as his path and left his work to meet Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God as they approached Blood River World.

• Qin Mu used the Swarm to locate more Killing Intent Vortices and learned that 10,081 vortices formed the core of the Ancient God Ruins.
• Qin Mu studied the Golden Secret Patterns and used their light to stabilize an experimental body made from numerous powerful bloodlines, though it still lacked innate talents.
• Qin Mu decided that Swarm-led genetic research suited him better than the Nine Tribulations Scripture and maintained hidden Swarm outposts across many territories as insurance against disaster.
• Qin Mu directed the Swarm’s members and experimental subjects to study laws, techniques, and battle phantoms throughout the Ancient God Ruins.
• After receiving messages that Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God were nearing Blood River World, Qin Mu met them in the Virtual Universe and told them to come to Red Leaf City’s City Lord’s Mansion.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God arrived in Blood River World and met Qin Mu, who prepared to modify their genes in his underground research center. The painful three-day transformation began, with Qin Mu promising that a successful fusion with the World-Ending Giant Beast’s genes would increase their strength tenfold.

• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God traveled to Blood River World and descended toward Red Leaf City.
• The three entered Red Leaf City with a caravan and went to the City Lord’s Manor to find Qin Mu.
• Qin Mu’s clone welcomed them and explained that he would enhance their physical genes over three days.
• Qin Mu led the three into an underground research center built inside a modified Golden Horn Beast.
• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God entered the Flesh Chambers, where Qin Mu began their painful gene transformation.

Qin Mu completed genetic enhancements for Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God, raising each to 6 Times Gene and improving their physical strength and Origin Law comprehension. He explained that they could attempt to fuse ten Blood Luo Crystals for a sixtyfold life-gene increase, and revealed that Luo Feng’s Golden Horn Beast Clone was especially compatible with the crystals.

• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God endured three days of painful genetic modification and recovered in the Flesh Chamber.
• Qin Mu told them the enhancement had raised all three to 6 Times Gene, and they agreed to keep the breakthrough secret.
• Qin Mu explained that fusing Blood Luo Crystals could further increase their life-gene essence, potentially reaching sixtyfold after ten crystals.
• Qin Mu revealed that Blood Luo Crystals were the blood of a Gold and Space attribute Innate Beast God at the Universe Lord level.
• Qin Mu told Luo Feng that Blood Luo Crystals worked on all flesh-and-blood lifeforms, making his Golden Horn Beast Clone especially compatible.
• Qin Mu instructed the three to rest for three days before attempting to fuse Blood Luo Crystals.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God fused Blood Luo Crystals, but Luo Feng failed at the seventh because his will had not been tempered by hardship. Qin Mu directed all three to the Ancient God Ruins for further training and ancient battle images.

• Qin Mu gave Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God a thousand Blood Luo Crystals each and the medals needed for their missions.
• Hong and Thunder God fused ten Blood Luo Crystals, while Luo Feng lost consciousness during his seventh attempt.
• Hong told Luo Feng that his life had been too smooth, and Qin Mu urged him to temper his will in the Ancient God Ruins.
• Qin Mu explained that Killing Intent Vortexes contained golden Law Patterns, which could strengthen their bodies, and ancient battle images, including ones of Jin, the Sky Innate Beast God.
• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God set out for the Ancient God Ruins to pursue the training and opportunities there.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God joined Qin Mu in the Ancient God Ruins to temper their wills and study the powers hidden in the Killing Intent Vortices. Luo Feng stopped short of a core while Hong and Thunder God explored its golden patterns and ancient images, and Qin Mu directed them toward cultivation suited to their separate paths.

• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God descended into the giant crater and met Qin Mu, who explained the Killing Intent Vortices, their golden rays, and the ancient images within their cores.
• Qin Mu led the group toward a Killing Intent core, but Luo Feng reached his limit and stayed behind to temper his will.
• Qin Mu, Hong, and Thunder God entered the core and saw its golden Law Secret Patterns, two ancient images, and Qin Mu’s experimental giant creature.
• Qin Mu explained that the unstable creature had a thirtyfold Gene Multiplier, which could rise to two thousand when its Blood Luo Power was activated.
• Hong focused on an image of a spear piercing through space-time, while Thunder God studied the bodily transformation caused by the golden rays.
• Qin Mu told Thunder God that another Killing Intent Vortex held an image suited to saber techniques and said they would find a suitable vortex for Luo Feng as well.

Qin Mu shared ancient battle images with Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God, then revealed plans to exploit the Immortal Temple. Thirty years later, the Ice Mountain Giant Beast, disguised as Hou Qiao, gained access to a treasure vault and prepared to act on a long-running plot involving fifteen Beast God Statues.

• Qin Mu showed Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God ancient images from the killing intent cores, and they chose images suited to their fighting styles.
• Qin Mu warned Luo Feng away from an image occupied by Ba Qi, an Immortal Temple genius who had fused eight Blood Luo Crystals, and revealed that his Swarm had infiltrated the temple.
• Qin Mu sent the three to explore other locations while his Swarm investigated a hidden ruin left by a fallen World Lord.
• Qin Mu returned to the Killing Intent Vortex to cultivate and reflected on the Virtual Universe Company's refusal to give him the Beast God Blood refining method.
• Thirty years later, Hou Qiao was assigned to guard the C-class treasure vault on the Immortal Temple's 9,016th floor.
• Hou Qiao revealed that he had plotted for thirty years and had already placed guards near the fifteen neglected Beast God Statues.

After thirty years of research, Qin Mu stabilized a humanoid experimental subject with the Enhancement talent, while his work on Nirvana Rebirth and gene fusion continued. He inspected the Swarm’s strengthened forces and newly developed Larva Nest Fortress, then decided it was time to leave Blood River World.

• Qin Mu lost experimental subjects No. 1022 and No. 1023 to gene collapse and failed talent fusion, but successfully stabilized No. 1024 with the Enhancement talent.
• Qin Mu calculated that No. 1024 could reach a Gene Multiplier of 6,400 with Blood Luo Power and Enhancement, and resolved to keep researching Nirvana Rebirth.
• Qin Mu returned to the Core World and observed that the Swarm had reached the ninth rank of Domain Lord level and that a Golden Horn Beast had reached its Blood Luo Crystal limit.
• Qin Mu inspected the completed, modular Larva Nest Fortress and a two-headed Golden Horn Beast–Blazing Star Giant Beast hybrid with a thirtyfold Gene Multiplier and Nirvana Rebirth.
• Qin Mu concluded that the hybrid combat unit and his humanoid Perfect Divine Body research served different purposes, then decided to leave Blood River World.

Qin Mu prepared to raid the Immortal Temple’s C-grade treasure vault and take its Beast God Statues, while Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God finished cultivating and prepared to leave the Ancient God Ruins. After the Swarm recovered the first statue, Qin Mu began his plan to draw Blood God 'Baqi''s master away from the vault.

• Qin Mu planned to use his infiltrators and Blood God 'Baqi' to lure the King-level Immortal away from the C-grade treasure vault, while also targeting the fifteen Beast God Statues guarded inside the Immortal Temple.
• Luo Feng told Qin Mu, Hong, and Thunder God that he had entered the Killing Intent Vortex’s core; the group agreed to leave once their cultivation was complete, and Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God went to challenge the Tongtian Bridge.
• Two months later, a Mo Sha Clan member found a Beast God Statue in the Ancient God Ruins, and Qin Mu ordered Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God to leave as he began his move.
• Qin Mu gathered Mo Sha Clan members and Zergified World Lords near Blood God 'Baqi' and activated his hidden agents within the Immortal Temple to create chaos.
• Qin Mu flew over Blood God 'Baqi''s location in a Mechanical Race spacecraft and prepared to fire its Star Annihilator Cannon at him.
