• Luo Feng arrived at Jiangnan Base City and visited Ning Ze, who discussed his accumulated Points and his plans for the Seven Star Sword Grass.
• Ning Ze showed Luo Feng the Black Metal Plate and explained that its Nine Tribulations Secret Codex could transform genes but was too dangerous for him to cultivate.
• Luo Feng spent three days overcoming the plate’s illusions, then learned the Secret Art used Yan God Clan characters and could not be spoken aloud.
• After studying the Secret Art, Luo Feng said it broke the Rules and entered his Internal World with Ning Ze to try cultivating it through his Golden Horned Beast body.
• Ning Ze considered his own breakthrough but rejected using his Wind of Time Clone because it would create a smaller Internal World than his Earthling Main Body could form.

Luo Feng experimented with the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex, and Ning Ze stayed with him to study its intricate universal cycles. A hundred years later, Ning Ze allowed Ning Qianqian and Ge Ya to travel within the Ganwu Universe Country, while his family gathered over a meal and discussed their games.

• Luo Feng's cultivation formed more than 70,000 energy threads before the universe erased his body, but he quickly recovered inside his Internal World.

• Ning Ze asked Ning Hua about his games, and the chapter revealed that Ning Hua and Luo Hongguo had fallen out over guild leadership before Ning Ze ordered their game shut down.

Ning Ze began overseeing Seven Star Sword Grass’s dangerous breakthrough, but a Points mission arrived and he sent his Clone to handle it. At the Golden Horn Clan, he continued studying the Beast God Statue with Luo Feng and received new insights into a path toward a Space-Time Combined Strike.

• Ning Ze encouraged Shu Yi to believe that Star Leaf would succeed in its breakthrough.
• Ning Ze gave Seven Star Sword Grass 1,385 treasures to consume in sequence, and its body weakened before a final Nutrient Solution triggered a surge of life energy.
• Ning Ze received a mission to eliminate the mind-controlled Qidoya and Sadeyla, capture the Qilan Family’s Core Members, and clear their enemy sites within two years, so he sent his Clone to complete it while he watched Star Leaf.
• Ning Ze joined Luo Feng at the Golden Horn Clan, where Luo Feng failed again to copy the Beast God Statue’s Mystic Patterns and asked how Ning Ze had managed it.
• Ning Ze studied the Golden Jade Beast God Statue and saw a path toward the ultimate Space-Time Combined Strike technique before receiving information from his Original Body.

Ning Ze arrived at Beast God Canyon, where Elder Kebo welcomed him and offered him access to the Golden Horn Clan’s Sacred Tablet and a guard for his mission. Kebo later persuaded the other Elders that Ning Ze’s talent, willpower, and survival prospects made him a future Venerable worth befriending.

• Ning Ze appeared beside Luo Feng in Beast God Plaza, and Elder Kebo arrived to greet him as a peerless Human Race genius.
• Luo Feng explained that Ning Ze had been cultivating inside his World Ring, and Kebo invited Ning Ze to study the Sacred Tablet after his mission.
• Kebo assigned Zi Mo to guard Ning Ze, and Zi Mo took him through his God Kingdom Channel toward the mission.
• Luo Feng resumed studying the Beast God Statue as news of Ning Ze’s arrival silenced the Golden Horn Tribe members and overshadowed Bei Qiu’s reputation.
• At a meeting of the Golden Horn Clan’s Elders, Kebo praised Ning Ze’s abilities and explained why the clan should extend goodwill to him.

The Golden Horn Clan's Elders learned that Ning Ze had rapidly comprehended the Gold Space Fusion Law and resolved to cultivate their relationship with him. Ning Ze then arrived at the First Group Army's headquarters to oversee a dangerous mission, where his unease grew as he reviewed the forces and plan.

• Elder Kebo told Elder Biyuan that Ning Ze had comprehended the Gold Space Fusion Law through the Beast God Statue in only a few decades, and the Elders decided to support and befriend him.
• Ning Ze arrived at the First Group Army headquarters, where Black Annihilation Marquis warned Feng Zhe to control his temper before meeting the Inspector Envoy.
• Feng Zhe bristled at the Ministers' remarks, but Ning Ze greeted him courteously and said he had come to learn from the First Army Lord's experience.
• Feng Zhe reported that troops would encircle the targets while he and Ying Luoxi attacked Qidoya and Sadeyla at the Qilan Family's ancestral planet.
• Ning Ze worried that the mission's Alien Race threat could exceed the strength of the available forces, which had no King to support them.

Ning Ze watched Feng Zhe destroy Qimounika Star, then faced a surprise Soul Attack from Zi Yuan King. He resisted with his Soul Sword and prepared to sacrifice his Wind of Time Clone, but an unknown powerful figure intervened and suppressed the battle.

• Ning Ze ordered the First Group Army to attack Qimounika Star, and Feng Zhe's Undying strike annihilated the planet and its inhabitants.

• Ning Ze used the Reverse Soul Battle Technique and Soul Sword to resist Zi Yuan King's attack, injuring his soul and buying time.
• Ning Ze prepared to self-destruct his Wind of Time Clone, but an unknown powerful existence stopped him and imprisoned Zi Yuan King's soul.

Ning Ze survived a coordinated Alien Race ambush, but the mission cost hundreds of thousands of lives, leaving him furious and disillusioned. Back in Aulas World, Star Leaf reached the Undying level, and Ning Ze answered a summons from Venerable Jing Ran, who regarded him with astonishment.

• The Ganwu Country Lord revealed that he had secretly protected Ning Ze, then took Zi Yuan King away and ordered Feng Zhe to continue the campaign.
• Feng Zhe reported that ambushes at hidden locations 1 and 3 had wiped out two units, including Tuo Shenna and Wei Lai, while the other units suffered severe losses.
• Ning Ze ordered the remaining forces to pursue every escaped target, then returned to Aulas World with Zi Mo after ending Virtual Universe synchronization.

• Star Leaf broke through to the Undying level and gained a Gold Law Divine Body, strengthening Ning Ze's defenses.
• Wu Bai notified Ning Ze that Venerable Jing Ran had summoned him, and Ning Ze teleported to Thunder Mountain, where his teacher stared at him in astonishment.

Ning Ze survived a King-level soul attack, received the Hurricane Bead and permission to study the Golden Horn Clan’s Sacred Tablet, then warned Luo Feng about the danger of future missions. After the mission ended, he discovered that his understanding of the Space-Time Fusion Law was far shallower than he had believed, leaving his attempts to advance it and the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex at a bottleneck.

• Ning Ze told Venerable Jing Ran that he had resisted a King-level Soul Attack, and he declined to demonstrate his secret technique while his soul was depleted.
• Ning Ze asked Venerable Jing Ran whether to accept the Golden Horn Clan Elder’s Hurricane Bead, and his teacher advised him to take it but have it inspected before refining it.
• The Golden Horn Clan Elder gave Ning Ze permission to study the Sacred Tablet for a year and choose a Secret Art from the clan’s collection.
• Ning Ze warned Luo Feng that Alien Races might still target them, and he later sent the Seven Star Sword Grass to his God Kingdom.
• Ning Ze’s mission ended with two Alien Race teams still missing, an 82% completion rate, and 820,000 Points earned.
• After decades beneath the Beast God Statue, Ning Ze realized his Space-Time Fusion Law comprehension was negligible and that advancing it or the Nine Tribulations Secret Codex would be extremely difficult.

Ning Ze left Beast God Canyon and showed Hou Fu Chen the strength of his sword technique, then learned the Hurricane Bead was an immensely valuable Heavy Treasure. After Hou Fu Chen promised an even greater reward if he passed the Tongtian Bridge 15th Floor within ten thousand years, Ning Ze accepted the challenge, while a Monster Race Venerable began looking for another way to kill him.

• Ning Ze decided to focus on strengthening his combat ability rather than forcing progress on the Space-Time Fusion Law, and he left Beast God Canyon after his cultivation reached a temporary stopping point.
• Ning Ze demonstrated his Space-Time Combined Strike to Hou Fu Chen, who judged its power close to the Tongtian Bridge 13th or 14th Floor.
• Hou Fu Chen identified the Hurricane Bead as an advanced domain-type Heavy Treasure worth 300 Treasure Points and offered a treasure worth more than ten times as much if Ning Ze passed the Tongtian Bridge 15th Floor within ten thousand years.
• Ning Ze accepted the challenge despite estimating that his current cultivation pace would take far longer to reach the required Law Comprehension.
• A Monster Race Venerable lamented its losses after Human Race forces purged infiltrators and concluded that it needed a different approach to eliminate Ning Ze.

Ning Ze mastered the first level of the Chaos Battle Body and discussed equipment before learning that Luo Feng’s Earthling Clone had been killed in an ambush. Ning Ze explained King Yanzhu’s powerful connections and warned Luo Feng that death could be reversed, but Soul Control could not, as they set out to confront the Wulong Starfield administrators.

• Ning Ze mastered Mingkong, reviewed the proceeds from Zi Yuan King's equipment, and rejected the available armor as too expensive or inadequate.
• Luo Feng told Ning Ze that an Undying had attacked his Clone at the Wulong Starfield’s Trash Mountain and that King Yanzhu was demanding an inspection.
• Ning Ze explained that King Yanzhu was Venerable Shíhuǒ’s spoiled son and offered to accompany Luo Feng to face him.
• Ning Ze, Luo Feng, and Dylan flew toward the outskirts of the Solar System so Dylan could take them to the Wulong Starfield.
• Ning Ze warned Luo Feng to resist Soul Control at all costs and revealed that Universe Masters could revive the dead by reversing spacetime.

Ning Ze accompanied Luo Feng to the Trash Yard managers’ palace, where King Yanzhu accused Luo Feng of theft and demanded compensation for inflated losses. Ning Ze provoked King Yanzhu by mocking his reliance on his Venerable father, and the other four Kings restrained him when he erupted in anger.

• Luo Feng, Ning Ze, and Dylan arrived at Wulong Starfield and were escorted to the five managers, who had been waiting for Luo Feng.
• King Longjue and the other three managers warmly greeted Ning Ze, while King Yanzhu fell silent after realizing who he was.
• Ning Ze praised the Venerables connected to the four managers, then subtly slighted King Yanzhu by invoking his father without praising him.
• King Yanzhu accused Luo Feng of using an Undying being to steal from Trash Mountain and claimed the Trash Yard had lost over thirty million Chaos Units.
• Ning Ze rejected the theft accusation and mocked King Yanzhu for having everything provided by his Venerable father, then said he had no money or treasures to pay.
• King Yanzhu erupted and released his power, but Dylan shielded Ning Ze and the other four Kings restrained King Yanzhu.

Ning Ze outmaneuvered King Yanzhu, turning the dispute into an investigation of the Trash Yard and securing compensation for Luo Feng. The group traveled to the refuse field, where Ning Ze learned that rare treasures could be hidden among the wreckage and Luo Feng accepted an offer of high-quality Bug Race corpses.

• King Yanzhu unleashed the power of the Mystic Pattern on his forehead, but King Longjue warned him that attacking Ning Ze would bring punishment from the company and the Universe Master.
• Ning Ze refused King Yanzhu's demands, challenged his accusations, and invoked the Chaos City Lord's recognition of their identities as Core Members.
• Ning Ze shifted the dispute toward investigating the Trash Yard, and King Longjue and the other managers agreed to compensate Luo Feng and take him to choose Bug Race corpses.
• King Dalian and the other managers placated King Yanzhu after Ning Ze, Luo Feng, and the others left the temple.
• During the spacecraft trip, King Longjue explained that valuable treasures could be hidden in the Trash Mountain, and he gave Ning Ze ten World Rings to search for them.
• King Longjue offered Luo Feng one thousand units of high-quality Bug Race corpses as compensation, which Luo Feng accepted before they arrived at the vast field of wreckage.

Ning Ze searched Trash Mountain with Kulun and used his unusual perception to uncover a fortune hidden inside discarded ore. After finding a Mixed Rock Crystal Mother fragment worth around 150 million Chaos Units, he eagerly set off to search for more.

• King Longjue assigned Kulun to guide Ning Ze through Trash Mountain while Luo Feng went to choose Bug Race corpses with Si Ke.
• Ning Ze learned that Trash Mountain covered an immense area and hurried ahead of Kulun using his Three Tremors Traverse the Universe movement technique.
• Ning Ze sensed a meteorite that had already been searched, cut it open, and found Blue Star Iron concealing another metal fragment.
• Ning Ze shattered the Blue Star Iron with a powerful sword strike and recovered the fragment, which Kulun identified as Mixed Rock Crystal Mother worth about 150 million Chaos Units.
• Ning Ze declared that he wanted to keep searching and sped away across Trash Mountain.

Ning Ze uncovered valuable Mixed Rock Crystal Mother and gathered unusual armor fragments while searching the Trash Mountains, then learned Luo Feng could use the fragments to enhance his strength. Meanwhile, the Bug Race learned that Ning Ze and Luo Feng were in the Wulong Starfield but chose not to attempt another assassination.

• Ning Ze found two more Black-Purple Meteorites containing Mixed Rock Crystal Mother, and Kulun left after Ning Ze asked him to wait outside the Trash Mountain.
• Ning Ze activated Virtual Universe synchronization, searched widely for valuable treasures, and collected hundreds of black, silver, and golden armor fragments.
• Ning Ze found a treasure worth ten million Chaos Units and later told Luo Feng he had recovered three Mixed Rock Crystal Mother fragments worth more than 400 million Chaos Units.
• Luo Feng asked Ning Ze about special Armor Fragments, explained that they increased his strength, and asked him to collect silver or golden fragments.
• A Bug Race agent reported that Ning Ze and Luo Feng were treasure hunting in the Wulong Starfield, but the Bug Race leader rejected another assassination attempt.

After two years of treasure hunting, Ning Ze’s Great Freedom Heart Technique broke through, transforming his Life Crystal Core and awakening Teleportation and the Sky-Peering Eyes. He continued searching with greatly increased efficiency, then spoke with Luo Feng, who reported the strength and defensive effects of his newly assembled Soldier Armor.

• Ning Ze found a purple-red fragment worth 150 million Chaos Units and realized his Great Freedom Heart Technique was close to advancing.
• Ning Ze cultivated until his Life Crystal Core anchored itself in the Space-Time Law, and he awakened the Teleportation Secret Art and named his manifested Eyes of Will the Sky-Peering Eyes.
• Ning Ze learned that his awakened abilities increased his normal monitoring range and treasure-searching speed a hundredfold, then resumed searching the Trash Yard.
• Two months later, Ning Ze told Luo Feng he had earned five billion Chaos Units, and Luo Feng described the strength boost and defensive effects of his Soldier Armor.

Ning Ze continued searching for treasure while wondering about Luo Feng’s Nine Tribulations Secret Codex and armor. At the Virtual Universe Company, Venerable Yufeng and Venerable Yan Sha stopped Venerable Teng Yuan from assigning Ning Ze a near-certain-death mission, but Teng Yuan chose a harsh assessment mission instead; Ning Ze and Luo Feng then compared their remarkable gains.

• Ning Ze asked Ning Ze to help find 110 Golden Armor fragments and continued treasure hunting to earn enough for armor.
• Venerable Teng Yuan proposed sending Ning Ze into a Secret Realm to hunt a fugitive, but Venerable Yufeng and Venerable Yan Sha rejected the mission as too dangerous.
• Venerable Teng Yuan agreed to devise an assessment mission and resented Venerable Jing Ran for taking the Ku Lun Zang Shen Guo he believed should have been his.
• Ning Ze learned that Luo Feng had obtained Locke Divine Water worth more than six billion Chaos Units and reflected on how many treasures had ended up with Luo Feng.
• Ning Ze told Luo Feng that his own treasure-hunting income remained steady, leaving both men impressed by each other’s fortunes.

Ning Ze learned that Hong had passed the twentieth level of Illusion Sea and become a nominal disciple of Giant Axe Creator, explaining why King Kuojin wanted to meet him. Ning Ze then revealed that Earth might be special, as people born there showed unusually strong spiritual talent and character.

• Black Annihilation Marquis contacted Ning Ze and said King Kuojin wished to meet him, prompting Ning Ze and Luo Feng to wonder whether the request concerned Hong.
• Ning Ze questioned Old Bai about Hong and learned that Hong had joined the Giant Axe Fighting Arena as a Special Grade Genius and trained in Chaos City.
• Old Bai revealed that Hong had passed the twentieth level of Illusion Sea and been accepted as Giant Axe Creator's nominal disciple, with Lord Xujin guiding him.
• Ning Ze told Luo Feng that Earth-born children appeared to have more than twice the spiritual talent and generally better character than children born elsewhere.
• Luo Feng considered Ning Ze's evidence and grew apprehensive about Earth's unusual qualities.
