Chapter Summaries

Ning Ze killed Sea Monster Ensi, discovered valuable Water Spirit Crystals, and gave Xiyue Ensi’s tokens before leaving the Black Stone Mountain region. As the Sea God allowed Teng Shan to pursue revenge, Ning Ze later encountered Sea Monster Suo Ya, whose death wish ended in his suicide after he learned that Yuan Huan had died.

• Ning Ze searched Ensi’s Space Ring, found nine Water Spirit Crystals, and decided to give Ensi’s Sea God Tokens to Xiyue for helping conceal him.
• Ning Ze sent Xiyue a World Ring filled with Ensi’s inheritance and more than ten thousand tokens, then left the Black Stone Mountain region.
• Teng Shan asked her father to release her so she could avenge her son Kun Hao, and the Sea God permitted her to leave despite the rules against Undying interference.
• The Sea God learned that Ning Ze had likely killed Ensi and suspected his talent exceeded her own.
• Ning Ze pierced Sea Monster Suo Ya with his sword, then told him that Yuan Huan had died as a Marquis Immortal on the Outer Domain Battlefield.
• Suo Ya laughed after hearing of Yuan Huan’s death and died by his own choice, leaving Ning Ze to withdraw his sword in silence.

Ning Ze killed King Bi Hai with his Space-Time Combined Strike and discovered the Sea Monsters had a valuable detector, but two terrifying gazes then trapped him between dangers. Three days later, he headed for the exit while sensing an immensely powerful Sea Monster venting its rage nearby.

• Ning Ze's Clone fought King Bi Hai while Ning Ze's Original Body killed Suo Ya, and King Bi Hai called Lanka for help.
• Lanka arrived and joined King Bi Hai against Ning Ze, but Ning Ze's Original Body arrived and his combined sword strike shattered King Bi Hai's armor and killed him.
• Ning Ze took King Bi Hai's XS-971 detector and fled by spacecraft after detecting an approaching Undying.
• Ning Ze sensed two lethal gazes, one from the Vast Sea Temple and another near the exit, so he abandoned his spacecraft and used the Great Freedom Mind Art to hide.
• Three days later, Ning Ze sensed a powerful Immortal Divine Power fluctuation near where he had fought King Bi Hai and continued toward the exit.

Ning Ze returned from the Sea Monster World and was summoned by King Zhou Zhen to meet the Lord of Liyu Palace. After Ning Ze demonstrated his unusual Space-Time Secret Art, the Palace Lord recognized his extraordinary talent but questioned why Venerable Jing Ran had taught him such an unconventional path.

• Ning Ze learned that 98 years had passed in the Sea Monster World and lamented that he had only two years left to complete his remaining missions.
• An elaborate Honor Guard welcomed Ning Ze at Liyu Palace, where King Zhou Zhen appeared and took him to the Palace Lord.
• The Lord of Liyu Palace praised Ning Ze for killing a royal-blood Sea Monster Domain Lord and learned that Ning Ze had sensed his surveillance.
• Ning Ze explained that he had created his Secret Art himself and demonstrated a Space-Time Combined Strike before the Palace Lord and the assembled Undyings.
• The Lord of Liyu Palace judged the strike unconventional and wondered why Venerable Jing Ran was guiding such a talented disciple along an abnormal path.

Ning Ze received a rare Blood Fusion Crystal and guidance from Lord of Liyu Palace, then returned to the Original Secret Realm after comprehending the Fourth Diagram of the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument. His return unsettled Molo, who feared Ning Ze would threaten his place in the coming Qualification Battle.

• Lord of Liyu Palace rewarded Ning Ze with a Blood Fusion Crystal, a treasure that could raise human genes to the level of the Sea Monster imperial family.
• Lord of Liyu Palace demonstrated a Secret Art combining four Laws, and Ning Ze resolved his doubts about the Fourth Diagram of the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument.
• King Zhou Zhen escorted Ning Ze back to the Original Secret Realm, where Ning Ze said he would continue cultivating after gaining a breakthrough in comprehension.
• Molo followed the Liyu Palace spaceship and felt despair when he saw Ning Ze alive with a Maple Leaf Mark between his brows.
• Duo Duo took confidence from Ning Ze's talent and status as Molo grew angry at being ignored by King Zhou Zhen and mocked by the guard.

Ning Ze reunited with Molo and revealed how he had prospered in Sea Monster World, leaving Molo frightened and resentful. Back in his chamber, Ning Ze learned that the Blood Fusion Crystal was an extraordinarily valuable Human Race treasure and chose to use it himself.

• Ning Ze taunted Molo by crediting his advice for the rewards and guidance he had received after encountering a Royal Sea Monster, then watched Molo flee in fear.
• Duo Duo warned Ning Ze to be wary of Molo, and Ning Ze confirmed that he had nearly mastered the Fourth Diagram of the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument.
• Duo Duo explained the upcoming Promotion Tournament, the rules for Domain Lord members, and the risks of advancing beyond the Universe level.
• Ning Ze asked Wu Bai to look up the Blood Fusion Crystal and learned that it was a restricted, non-transferable Human Race treasure worth 100 billion Points.
• Ning Ze rejected the option to recycle the Blood Fusion Crystal and chose to use it himself.

Ning Ze fused a Royal Bloodline Sea Monster’s genes, greatly increasing his strength, then earned nearly twenty million Points by slaughtering monsters on Manyao Star. After learning the scale of Ning Ze’s achievements, Venerable Jing Ran warned him that future mission worlds could require the strength to kill an Undying.

• Ning Ze used the Blood Fusion Crystal to absorb Royal Bloodline Sea Monster genes, increasing his Original Force tenfold and strengthening his body and Law perception.
• Venerable Jing Ran visited the Lord of Liyu Palace to thank him for rewarding Ning Ze, then learned that Ning Ze had killed a World Lord-level Royal Bloodline Sea Monster himself.
• After two years, Venerable Jing Ran discovered that Ning Ze had entered the dangerous Manyao Star mission world and summoned him to the Virtual Universe.
• Ning Ze told Venerable Jing Ran that he had killed 312 World Lords, 21,245 Domain Lords, and 300,000 Universe-level monsters, earning nearly twenty million Points.
• Ning Ze said he planned to challenge the Original Tongtian Mountain and strengthen his accumulation before advancing, and Venerable Jing Ran warned him that other missions could demand the strength to kill an Undying.

Ning Ze received a technology-focused mission on Visca Star but chose to remain concealed and accepted the Virtual Universe Company's summons to the Promotion Tournament. As the six competitors began fighting for an Original Secret Realm slot, Ning Ze watched Luo Feng and Krovo compete and considered what made Krovo's claw technique misguided.

• Ning Ze learned that his Visca Star mission required him to win a technology competition, but decided to focus on concealment rather than study technology.
• Ning Ze learned that the Promotion Tournament was beginning and discovered Luo Feng had been away on a mission in Magic Sound Mountain.
• Ning Ze met Krovo and Luo Feng at the company gathering, where a Bald Immortal announced that the six participants would compete for one slot.
• Yufeng conceded his first match to Ning Ze, and Luo Feng began his match against Bolan.
• Ning Ze easily defeated Bolan, while Krovo dominated Molo with his claw techniques.
• The Bald Immortal criticized Krovo's claw technique, prompting Ning Ze to watch closely and compare it with his own unconventional Sword Art.

Ning Ze conceded his Promotion Tournament match to help Luo Feng advance, then lost his Original Secret Realm status when the secret realms’ membership returned to standard allotments. As Ning Ze entered the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm, Venerable Nine Swords learned that Ning Ze’s teacher, Venerable Jing Ran, had once obtained a rare treasure said to offer a chance at becoming a Universe Master.

• Ning Ze recognized that Molo’s rigid claw technique risked harming him and considered killing him, but dismissed the idea after Krovo defeated Molo in the Duel Space.
• Ning Ze conceded to Luo Feng, who then faced Krovo in the final; Krovo failed to appear, so Luo Feng won advancement to the Original Secret Realm.
• The Virtual Universe Company restored the secret realms’ standard membership numbers, and Ning Ze was eliminated into the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm.
• Venerable Nine Swords and Venerable Yan Yi discussed Ning Ze’s challenge to the Company’s rules and Venerable Jing Ran’s history of resurrection and military service.
• Venerable Yan Yi told Venerable Nine Swords that the Ku Lun Zang Shen Guo could help someone break through to become a Universe Master and that Lord Long Xing was rumored to have used one.

Ning Ze challenged Original Tongtian Mountain and easily defeated the Gatekeepers at its foot and mountainside. At the summit, he faced three much stronger opponents and struggled against their coordinated attacks, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Ning Ze approached the Minotaur at the mountain’s foot and killed him with a surprise attack, but the Minotaur revived as the Snake Woman and Ape-man arrived.
• Ning Ze used an illusion and swift sword strikes to defeat all three foot Gatekeepers, then proceeded up the mountain.
• Ning Ze defeated the three mountainside Gatekeepers and continued to the summit.
• Ning Ze began fighting the summit Gatekeepers, blocking the Snake Woman’s spiritual attack and evading the Ape-man’s fishing-line formation with Chasing the Sun.
• Ning Ze clashed with the Minotaur but was driven back, while the Ape-man’s threads restricted his movement and the Snake Woman remained a threat.

Ning Ze defeated the three Gatekeepers and passed the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain, reaffirming his resolve to keep growing stronger. His achievement inspired Bolan to renew his determination, while the Monster Race learned of Ning Ze’s success and marked him as its highest-priority target.

• Ning Ze used his illusion technique to kill the Ape-man, then defeated the Minotaur and Snake Woman to pass the Universe Level Original Tongtian Mountain.
• Ning Ze reflected on his progress, declared that he would one day reach the universe’s peak, and returned to the Virtual Universe.
• Bolan learned that Ning Ze had passed the mountain and vowed to keep pursuing him despite the widening gap between them.
• Lord Bin Jia received news that Ning Ze had passed the mountain, ordered the Monster Race fortress evacuated, and escaped with Kan Da through God Kingdom Teleportation.

After the Virtual Universe Company capped Ning Ze’s Universe-level Points at 100 million and deducted the excess, he abandoned his plans to continue mission worlds and returned to the Original Secret Realm. He broke through to Domain Master and applied for an assessment and external posting, while Venerable Teng Yuan pushed to assign him the highest-level mission.

• Ning Ze exchanged his Black Demon Stones for Points and initially asked to travel to Green Demon World, but changed his mind and ordered a return to the Original Secret Realm.
• Wu Bai told Ning Ze that his Universe-level Points had reached the 100 million cap, causing 9.4 million Points from his latest mission to be deducted and ending his mission-world quota.
• Ning Ze weighed his need for Points to advance Seven Star Sword Grass, study stronger Secret Arts, and buy an F-class spaceship, then decided to break through instead of pursuing more trials.
• Three Venerables discussed Ning Ze’s Points deduction and Teng Yuan’s dispute with Venerable Jing Ran, while acknowledging that the rules had been applied to Ning Ze’s disadvantage.
• The Venerable in the black mist revealed that Ning Ze had broken through to Domain Master and applied for an assessment and external posting, and Teng Yuan insisted he receive the highest-level mission.

Ning Ze advanced to the Domain Lord level and learned that his future post in Ganwu Universe Country would carry great authority. As he traveled back to Chaos City to study the next diagram of the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument, news of recent deaths among Domain Lord members left him determined to find ways to protect himself.

• Ning Ze completed his promotion tests, and the results showed his Gene Level was ten times that of an ordinary person.
• Ning Ze chose an external posting in Ganwu Universe Country and learned that his appointment could take up to half a year to be issued.
• Duo Duo said he could hold off an ordinary Marquis and explained that Ning Ze's status as an inspector would place him above the three ministers of the Virtual Universe Company branch.
• Ning Ze ordered Wu Bai to take Warfire Qiongqi back to Chaos City so he could study the Fifth Diagram of the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument.
• Duo Duo told Ning Ze that Domain Lord members Yi Ke and Bai Yu had died within the past hundred years, and Ning Ze resolved to seek ways to protect himself beyond relying on Duo Duo.

Ning Ze returned to Chaos City, studied the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument, and reflected on the time required to advance his Law Comprehension. After receiving an Inspector Envoy Transfer Order, he prepared to leave for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire by God Kingdom Teleportation, learning the journey would cost 10 Chaos Units.

• Ning Ze entered Chaos City without waiting and was recognized as a prince of the Virtual Universe Company's Original Secret Realm.
• Ning Ze studied the Wind Shadow Chaos Monument for seven days and concluded that mastering its later stages would take far longer than he wanted.
• Ning Ze considered the limits of his cultivation speed and received an Inspector Envoy Transfer Order from headquarters.
• Ning Ze told Wu Bai to contact Duo Duo, and they gathered at the city gate to depart.
• An Undying dwarf offered to teleport Ning Ze to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire for 10 Chaos Units, while explaining that traveling to the Ganwu Universe Country could cost only 5.

Ning Ze paid for a rapid God Kingdom Teleportation back to Earth and reunited with his family after more than two hundred years away. He left Shu Yi believing he would remain on Earth for thousands of years before taking up his post.

• Ning Ze insisted on teleporting directly to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and Energy State Immortal carried him and Duo Duo there through his God Kingdom.
• Ning Ze reached Earth aboard the Warfire Qiongqi and saw how much the Solar System and planet had changed during his absence.
• Ning Ze visited his family estate, met young Ning Heng and his mother, and greeted Fite, who arranged lodging for Duo Duo and the guards.
• Ning Ze entered the underground training room and reunited with Shu Yi, promising that he would stay on Earth for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

Ning Ze returned to Earth and prepared to take up his Inspector Envoy post, while the three Ganwu Branch ministers panicked over the scrutiny his appointment could bring. Purple Lightning Marquis argued that Ning Ze’s status and the Company’s tolerance for their conduct meant they should preserve their positions rather than threaten him.

• Ning Ze reassured Li Qiu and Ning Hua that he would stay on Earth for a long time and said he would take up his new position soon.
• Ning Ze received his appointment letter and told Wu Bai to arrange a meeting with the Three Ministers.
• Purple Lightning Marquis, Golden Feather Marquis, and Black Annihilation Marquis argued over the danger Ning Ze posed to their positions and the misconduct in their departments.
• Golden Feather Marquis suggested killing Ning Ze, but Purple Lightning Marquis warned him that Ning Ze was protected by Venerable Jing Ran and was a highly valued genius.
• Purple Lightning Marquis argued that powerful figures tolerated their corruption because of their races’ influential patrons, then mocked Golden Feather Marquis until the two challenged each other to a duel.

Ning Ze met the three ministers on Purple Crystal Island and found their excessive friendliness suspicious, then discovered a mysterious Black Stone Slab in Earth’s No.1 Treasury. After breaking through its illusions, he learned it contained the Yan God Clan’s Nine Tribulations technique, which could increase a lifeform’s Gene Level.

• Ning Ze arrived on Purple Crystal Island, where Purple Lightning Marquis, Golden Feather Marquis, and Black Annihilation Marquis welcomed him with a massive ceremony and banquet.
• Ning Ze reassured Shu Yi that the Virtual Universe Company would protect them, and she told him about a strange black fragment kept in the United Nations No.1 Treasury.
• Ning Ze examined the Black Stone Slab, but Wu Bai could not scan it, and Ning Ze could not damage or penetrate it with his power.
• Ning Ze unleashed his full strength and entered the slab’s illusion, breaking through more than ten thousand illusions until its characters appeared.
• Wu Bai identified the characters as Yan God Clan writing and translated the text as the Nine Tribulations, a dangerous technique that could increase Gene Level.

Ning Ze weighed the risks of cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, whose rumored Gene Level increase could transform him but whose failure could destroy his Earthling Main Body. After deciding to wait for Luo Feng and seek a safer way to study it, Ning Ze reached the ninth order of the Domain Master level and left Earth for a company branch.

• Ning Ze learned from Wu Bai that the Yan God Clan belonged to the Nine Domain Alliance and was renowned for its powerful bodies, leading him to suspect that the secret art raised its members’ Gene Levels.
• Ning Ze considered ways to cultivate the codex without risking his Earthling Main Body and concluded that he would wait until Luo Feng returned, since Luo Feng could potentially survive and recover from failure.
• Ning Ze wondered why the Yan God Clan had left the Human Race but could not determine its motives, then decided to focus on developing his strength while waiting.
• A year later, Ning Ze advanced to the ninth order of the Domain Master level after spending much of the year in a Nutrient Capsule.
• Ning Ze told Shu Yi he was traveling to the company branch, then boarded Warfire Qiongqi with Duo Duo and departed Earth.

Ning Ze arrived in Hengyu City with an immense fleet and more than a hundred Undying experts, receiving a lavish welcome from Ganwu Universe Country’s forces. At the banquet, the Three Ministers and the Marquises openly courted him, while the guests recognized that his standing could reshape the balance of power in the country.

• Ning Ze descended into Hengyu City aboard a flaming F-class spaceship, accompanied by guards and eight Domain Lords who had received Law recognition.
• More than a hundred Undying experts welcomed Ning Ze as Your Highness, and Green-faced Immortal escorted him to a newly built estate prepared by the Three Ministers.
• Ning Ze thanked the Three Ministers for the estate, asked about the banquet, and told Duo Duo that his duty came from his strength rather than the company’s appointment.
• Three days later, the Three Ministers, the Three Hundred Marquises, and other forces gathered at Ning Ze’s banquet, where the ministers praised his achievements and future prospects.
• The Undying guests privately concluded that the Three Ministers were aligning themselves with Ning Ze and that his influence could make him the dominant power in Ganwu Universe Country.

Ning Ze used a banquet with Ganwu Universe Country’s Marquis Immortals to signal that he would fulfill his Inspector Envoy duties. When Marquis Yin Xue revealed that he had mistreated Hong, Ning Ze displayed his formidable power, prompting Yin Xue to apologize and the gathering to treat Ning Ze with greater sincerity.

• Ning Ze told the Marquis Immortals he would carry out his responsibilities as Inspector Envoy, then joined them in a toast and listened to their stories.
• Marquis Mang Ming teased Marquis Yin Xue about Ji Qing’s romance with a young man named Hong, and Yin Xue disparaged the boy while explaining why he had separated them.
• Ning Ze recognized Hong as his eldest brother, and Marquis Yin Xue realized he had offended Ning Ze by speaking carelessly about him.
• Ning Ze’s robe revealed the Mystic Patterns of the Eight Laws as his aura and soul power overwhelmed the gathering, stunning the Marquis Immortals.
• Marquis Yin Xue apologized and offered to explain the hidden circumstances surrounding Hong, and Ning Ze accepted before the banquet continued.

Ning Ze learned that Hong’s feelings for Ji Qing were obstructed by her teacher, Phantom Spirit King, who forbade her disciples from having romantic relationships. He explained the stakes to Hong and warned that meeting Ji Qing could force her to choose between love, her teacher, her clan, and her ambitions.

• At the banquet, Marquis Yin Xue told Ning Ze that Ji Qing was Phantom Spirit King’s core disciple and that the King expelled disciples who pursued romantic relationships.
• After the banquet, Ning Ze met Hong at Tianyi Hotel and asked why he had not told him about Ji Qing.
• Ning Ze told Hong that even Venerable Jing Ran would have no reason to interfere, and that only a King or Venerable could change the situation.
• Hong said he wanted to meet Phantom Spirit King, but Ning Ze cautioned that a meeting with Ji Qing could burden her with impossible choices.
• Hong understood Ning Ze’s warning and asked whether he had made other arrangements.
