• The two clones observed the black hole’s true body and the gap it had torn in the Original Universe’s membrane.

Qin Hao’s three clones entered the Sea of Universes, where the weakened suppression let their powers and Gene Levels grow as they cultivated. Qin Hao decided to remain in the Original Universe until the Original Stars opened, while the Three Races rebuilt and gathered resources before a future assault on Humanity.

• Kong Xuan, Destroyer, and the Space-time clone passed through the torn membrane of the Original Universe and entered the Sea of Universes.
• Kong Xuan absorbed Chaos Qi into his Five-Colored Space, while Chaos Qi stirred Destroyer’s growth and destructive aura.

Qin Hao ended his cultivation when Luo Feng arrived at Star Hall with Hong and Thor, whose strength and understanding of the Laws had advanced greatly over the past tens of thousands of years. As the three explored the expanded outer hall, they marveled at its resources, and Luo Feng explained that it had opened to Humanity’s cultivators over twenty thousand years earlier.

• Qin Hao awoke from cultivation after Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor arrived at Star Hall.
• The chapter described Hong and Thor’s rapid progress in the Zhou Guang Universe Kingdom and their growing strength as Earth-born cultivators.

• Luo Feng explained that the place they were seeing was only Star Hall’s outer hall, built over twenty thousand years earlier and opened to cultivators of the race.

• Qin Hao shared details about Zuo Shank Ke’s identity, plans, and connection to Earth, resolving much of Luo Feng’s hesitation.

Qin Hao advised Luo Feng to prepare for the Flame God Secret Realm and warned him about Emperor Yan, then guided him in Law cultivation. After reuniting with Hong and Thor at Star Hall, Qin Hao offered them resources and revealed his plan to develop a Soul Cultivation path for Earth's Humanity.

• Qin Hao urged Luo Feng to obtain the Tribulation Armor before the Original Stars opened and warned him that Emperor Yan might use others to interfere in the Flame God Secret Realm.

• Thor interrupted the discussion while celebrating his progress in the lightning and Time Laws, and Qin Hao, Luo Feng, and Hong laughed together at their reunion.
• Qin Hao granted Hong and Thor access to Star Hall and its resources, assigned cultivation locations to them and Luo Feng, and asked the three to help him create a Soul Cultivation path for Earth's Humanity.

Qin Hao began experimenting with a universal method to cultivate the soul, while Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor settled into Star Hall and started their training. Qin Hao’s experiments repeatedly failed, leaving him to consider the difficulty of nurturing souls, temperament, and willpower.

• Qin Hao explained Humanity’s potential for soul cultivation and his plan to develop a method that could strengthen the soul alongside the body.
• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thor built simple residences in Star Hall’s Outer Hall, where other Earthlings speculated about their identities and strength.
• Hong and Thor studied secret methods and inheritances, while Luo Feng focused on the Metal and Space Laws and refining his own secret methods.
• Qin Hao used soul avatars to test cultivation methods, but most of them collapsed back into Soul Power.
• Qin Hao considered how soul growth differed from bodily cultivation and how difficult it was to create beings gifted in soul, temperament, and willpower.

Hong and Thor left the Secret Method Pavilion to cultivate its powerful inheritances, while Luo Feng entered Tong Hua Palace to study its Metal Law world. After two thousand years of accelerated seclusion, Qin Hao began making progress toward creating a Soul Secret Method.

• Hong explained to Thor that Star Hall's secret methods relied on its unique environment and drew strength from Qin Hao and the Grand Formation of the Myriad Stars.
• Hong and Thor returned to their residences and began cultivating the newly acquired inheritances.
• Luo Feng entered Tong Hua Palace and examined its world of Metal Law, Space Law, and Time Law.
• Qin Hao cultivated in the Jiang Lan Realm, where two years outside became two thousand years inside, and his soul incarnation grew clearer and more solid.

Qin Hao developed the Spirit Condensing Method, which strengthened his soul and improved his perception of Laws and energy. He left the Jiang Lan Realm and went to find Hong and Thor to test whether others could cultivate it.

• Qin Hao completed his first experiment with the Spirit Condensing Method and found that it improved his Soul Power, Law perception, and energy perception by ten percent.
• Qin Hao considered the method’s potential, its limits for powerful cultivators, and how it could complement the Human Gene Atlas and broaden Humanity’s cultivation paths.
• Qin Hao left the Jiang Lan Realm and walked through the Outer Hall to the Earth Human Race’s residential area.
• Qin Hao headed to Hong and Thor’s residence, intending to have them test the Spirit Condensing Method and offer suggestions.

Qin Hao introduced Hong and Thor to the Spirit Condensing Method, a soul-cultivation technique he created to strengthen Earth’s people. Hong began condensing his soul within his Origin Bead as Qin Hao used an array and treasures to protect him and Thor during the risky process.

• Qin Hao invited Thor and Hong to Star Hall to test his newly completed Spirit Condensing Method.
• Qin Hao explained that the technique cultivated the soul and was designed to help Earthlings overcome their physical disadvantages.
• Hong and Thor studied the method and began sensing their souls within their Origin Beads.
• Qin Hao set up an array and used soul-restoring treasures to stabilize and replenish them during cultivation.
• Hong gathered the Soul Origin within his Origin Bead, forming a pulsing sphere that grew larger and more solid.

Hong completed eight rounds of the Spirit Condensing Method, greatly strengthening his soul and clarifying his perception of Laws, while Thor failed just short of finishing his eighth round. Qin Hao stabilized Thor and recognized that the method needed further simplification before it could be widely promoted.

• Hong’s Soul Origin condensed into a golden humanoid figure as the Spirit Condensing Method began transforming his soul.
• Hong endured eight rounds of nine refinements, pushing through intense pain until his soul became more than four times stronger.
• Hong stopped to rest and absorb his gains, noticing that the Light, Time, and Space Laws had become clearer to him.
• Hong saw Thor suffer a backlash after failing near the end of his eighth round, and treasures stabilized Thor’s soul.
• Qin Hao encouraged Thor to strengthen his foundation and concluded that the Spirit Condensing Method needed simplification for wider use.

Qin Hao established Heart Refining Pavilions across Earth to help ordinary people cultivate the Spirit Condensing Method through soul and will trials. After the pavilions opened, Earthlings began challenging them, and thousands cleared the first nine floors while more veteran cultivators were still waiting to enter.

• Qin Hao, Hong, Thor, and Luo Feng watched Heart Refining Pavilions rise across Earth, and Qin Hao explained how their eighty-one trial floors would support cultivation of the Spirit Condensing Method.
• Luo Feng praised the technique as an accessible path for Earthlings that could strengthen their souls and improve their cultivation.
• Haotian Pavilion opened the pavilions to the public ten days later and organized entry as crowds gathered to learn about the trials and their rewards.
• The first challengers emerged dazed and with few memories of the trials, while many still managed to pass the first floor and nearly ten thousand cleared nine floors.
• Jia Yi and other Great Nirvana-era powerhouses had not yet challenged the pavilions, though many were strong enough to clear the first few floors.

Qin Hao’s cultivation methods and Heart Refining Pavilion helped Earthlings strengthen their souls and accelerate their cultivation, beginning Earth’s rise within Humanity. As Qin Hao developed a new Soul Cultivation method and studied the Way of Life, he resolved to focus next on Law Comprehension and Divine Body transformation as he neared the fusion of the Ten Great Laws.

• Earthlings trained for Heart Refining Pavilion and gained major cultivation benefits from the Spirit Condensing Method, with Jia Yi and others advancing through later rounds.
• Qin Hao planned to combine Soul Cultivation with traditional cultivation and the Human Gene Atlas to strengthen Earthlings’ souls and Gene Levels.
• In the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Hao researched the Nuwa Diagram and the Eight Tribulation Life Body, gaining a faint insight into the Way of Life.
• Qin Hao’s soul briefly manifested a trace of the Way of Life, which a purple light within his soul absorbed.
• Qin Hao decided to finish creating his Soul Cultivation method before focusing on Law Comprehension, Divine Body transformation, and fusing the Ten Great Laws.

Humanity’s Military Formations lowered losses on the Outer Domain Battlefield and helped Humanity gain influence, prompting the Three Races to meet and discuss the threat. King Lie Ri revealed that the Monster Ancestors had decided to commit resources and bring in races hostile to Humanity.

• Over the past thirty thousand years, Military Formations reduced battlefield deaths, drew more cultivators to the Outer Domain Battlefield, and helped Humanity steadily suppress the other Three Races.
• King Lie Ri convened a meeting with Karina of the Zerg and King Zuli of the Mechanical Race to discuss Humanity’s growing strength.
• Karina explained that the Zerg had failed to use Humanity’s Military Formations successfully, while King Zuli said the Mechanical Race had found flaws but still could not overcome formations with an Army Soul.
• King Lie Ri urged the Three Races to invest more resources to stabilize the Outer Domain Battlefield while their races recovered.
• King Lie Ri announced that the Monster Ancestors had decided to commit resources and invite races such as the Flame God Race, which hated Humanity, to join the battlefield.

As the Monster Race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race hired foreign experts to target Humanity on the Outer Domain Battlefield, Qin Hao announced rewards designed to turn the newcomers into a source of strength for Humanity. He left the Hong Alliance eager to enter the battlefield for chances to study his inheritances and earn a Heavy Treasure.

• The three races hired experts from other races to join the Outer Domain Battlefield, increasing pressure on Humanity.
• Venerable Guiyi reassured Giant Sword Venerable that Qin Hao had prepared for the situation, while Humanity’s leaders awaited Qin Hao’s response.
• Qin Hao told Luo Feng that he would return the favor by making the hired foreign experts a problem for the three races.
• At a Hong Alliance meeting, Qin Hao offered King-level experts opportunities to study his Inheritance Steles in exchange for military merit, with an extra Heavy Treasure for the top earner every ten thousand years.
• Qin Hao set a higher military-merit cost for alien experts outside the Hong Alliance, prompting the affiliated races’ experts to see the battlefield as a chance to advance.

Qin Hao defended his plan to open inheritances and distribute Heavy Treasure rewards on the Outer Domain Battlefield, promising to cover the costs and reduce resurrection fees. His policies spurred the battlefield’s cultivators into action, including King-level Immortals bound to the Book of Life and Death.

• Lord Void Gold questioned whether Qin Hao was giving outsiders excessive access to Humanity’s inheritances and Heavy Treasures.
• Qin Hao said resurrection costs would be halved for Humanity and reduced by thirty percent for the Hong Alliance, and promised to make up the waived resources himself.
• Qin Hao explained that battlefield rewards and training opportunities would help Humanity cultivate Venerables and identify promising experts while preparing for the Original Star.
• The meeting ended, and the factions sent inheritances and Heavy Treasure rewards to the battlefield as the Virtual Universe established rules and resurrection fees fell.
• Cultivators flocked to the new opportunities, and King-level Immortals in the Book of Life and Death began moving across the battlefield, with some slaughtering without restraint.

Qin Hao’s new military merit and inheritance policies drove the Outer Domain Battlefield into greater chaos as fighters of many races competed for opportunities and resources. The Blazing Flame Squad survived increasingly dangerous encounters, while large battles and suicidal attacks became common across the battlefield.

• Humanity implemented Qin Hao’s policies, expanding military merit rewards, resource exchanges, and access to comprehension opportunities for fighters at every level.
• The Blazing Flame Squad continued growing stronger, with its members reaching the Immortal level and Yan Wu becoming a Venerable Master Immortal.
• The Blazing Flame Squad survived three enemy attacks in ten years, including an attack led by a Venerable Master, using Qin Hao’s divine weapons and their mastery of Military Formations.
• Battles spread between Humanity, other races, and their affiliates, escalating from squad clashes into operations involving thousands or tens of thousands of fighters.
• Humanity’s fighters increasingly chose self-destruction rather than retreat, seeking military merits and comprehension opportunities, while the battlefield consumed countless lives.

Qin Hao observed Humanity’s smooth wartime mobilization and contrasted it with the exploitation and unrest among the Monster Race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race. The Flame God Race entered the Outer Domain Battlefield in force, and King Longyu reported the threat while awaiting orders from Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

• Qin Hao watched Humanity coordinate troops, resources, and battlefield logistics under strict Virtual Universe oversight.
• The Monster Race, Zerg, and Mechanical Race relied on weaker races as cannon fodder, prompting resistance and unrest within their ranks.
• Humanity continued fighting the Three Races, though casualties rose as new experts emerged from the conflict.
• The Flame God Race sent many powerful experts to the Outer Domain Battlefield, and Human fighters reported their aggression and strength.
• King Longyu received intelligence that over ten thousand Flame God Race Immortals had entered the Seventh Battlefield and reported the development to Virtual Universe Company headquarters.

Qin Hao learned that Emperor Yan had sent Flame God Race members to disrupt Humanity on the Outer Domain Battlefield, so he summoned Luo Feng and sent him to the Flame God Secret Realm to punish Emperor Yan. He gave Luo Feng a one-use Supreme Treasure capable of trapping a Universe Lord for ten thousand years.

• Qin Hao saw King Longyu's report and realized Emperor Yan had sent Flame God Race members to trouble Humanity on the Outer Domain Battlefield.
• Qin Hao summoned Luo Feng from Tong Hua Palace while Luo Feng was cultivating his Metal Beast God form and refining his understanding of Metal and Space Laws.
• Qin Hao told Luo Feng to visit the Flame God Secret Realm and cause Emperor Yan trouble, and Luo Feng questioned how he could reach him safely.
• Qin Hao gave Luo Feng Xiatai, a one-use Supreme Treasure that could trap a Universe Lord for ten thousand years, as punishment for Emperor Yan and a favor to Zuo Shank Ke.

Luo Feng entered the Flame God Secret Realm with a powerful one-time Supreme Treasure from Qin Hao, intending to confront Emperor Yan and address the Flame God Race’s influence on the Outer Domain Battlefield. He reached Emperor Yan’s palace, where the enraged Universe Lord confronted him.

• Qin Hao gave Luo Feng the Bright Pearl Xiatai and sent an enslaved Flame God Race member to escort him into the Flame God Secret Realm.
• Luo Feng and the servant used Divine Kingdom teleportation to arrive on one of the realm’s three continents.
• Luo Feng surveyed the Flame God Race’s powerful members and Teleported toward Emperor Yan’s central palace.
• Luo Feng entered the palace, and Emperor Yan rose from his throne, recognized him as a human intruder, and spread his aura through the complex.

Luo Feng confronted Emperor Yan in the Flame God Secret Realm and demanded the Tribulation Armor, but Emperor Yan refused to hand it over. Emperor Yan’s resentment toward Luo Feng left their meeting at an impasse.

• Emperor Yan realized Luo Feng had arrived to disrupt his plans after he sent the Flame God Race to the Outer Domain Battlefield.
• Luo Feng brushed aside Emperor Yan’s aura and entered the palace, where the two senior and junior disciples met.
• Luo Feng directly asked Emperor Yan to give him the Tribulation Armor, citing Zuo Shank Ke’s instructions.
• Emperor Yan claimed Luo Feng was too weak to wield the armor and promised to keep it until Luo Feng reached the Universe Venerable level.
• Emperor Yan resented Luo Feng because he believed Zuo Shank Ke had abandoned him in favor of his new inheritor.
