Chapter Summaries

Gu Ce was taken by the nine Lava Demon Gods through a hidden passage inside the Universe Boat while his Starflow Sea Avatar explored Liuchong Mountain. As the avatar entered the dangerous region, Light Master and Waterfall Saber Master recognized Lianhua Ancient City and decided to report Gu Ce to the Divine Eye Race for its bounty.

• The nine Lava Demon Gods carried Gu Ce through a concealed passage that appeared to extend through the Universe Boat, leaving him with questions about their purpose and destination.
• Gu Ce shifted his attention to his Starflow Sea Avatar and piloted Lianhua Ancient City into Liuchong Mountain, where powerful gravitational fields prevented teleportation.
• Light Master and Waterfall Saber Master prepared to explore a cave in Liuchong Mountain in search of a Supreme Treasure.
• The two saw Lianhua Ancient City race into Liuchong Mountain and suspected that Gu Ce's Starflow Sea Avatar was aboard.
• Waterfall Saber Master proposed informing the Divine Eye Race about Gu Ce to claim its bounty, while Light Master warned him to beware of Lianhua Ancient City.

Gu Ce entered Liuchong Mountain while his true body was taken to a hidden palace complex in Universe Boat, where a phantom tested his potential as a possible inheritor. After overcoming the Space Avenue’s pressure, Gu Ce found a flaw in the barrier around the Chaos Plaza and stepped inside.

• Gu Ce dismissed the Divine Eye Race’s bounty as a threat and flew Lianhua Ancient City into Liuchong Mountain to explore its inner region.
• The Nine Lava Demon Gods brought Gu Ce’s true body to a secret space in Universe Boat, where a powerful soul fluctuation pulled him from Arbor Hall and knocked him unconscious.
• Gu Ce awoke in a palace complex, inferred that its avenues formed a trial, and learned that fusing Lower Origin Laws let him move along the Space Avenue.
• A phantom judged Gu Ce’s bloodline, law talent, and body-refining potential, then decided to test his character, will, and comprehension before considering him for its Master’s inheritance.
• Gu Ce reached the Chaos Plaza but could not pass its barrier, so he searched around it and found a flaw that let him enter.

Gu Ce accepted Su’s offer to inherit the master’s legacy and began the Rhino Emperor Game, which would test his comprehension over set time limits. He arranged to study under accelerated time while his Starflow Sea Avatar continued exploring Liuchong Mountain.

• Su appeared before Gu Ce in Chaos Plaza and offered him the inheritance, warning that failure in the tests would annihilate his soul.
• Gu Ce accepted, and Su revealed the Rhino Emperor Game’s incomplete puzzles and standards for receiving the master’s secret techniques, treasures, or full support.
• Su explained that Gu Ce had one era to solve the 3,000th game, three eras for the 6,000th, or a hundred eras for the 9,000th, then left after giving his name.
• Gu Ce returned to Earth in an Energy Avatar, and Chaos City Lord’s Thousand Treasures River Avatar took him to Great Axe Founder’s Miniature Universe for ten-thousandfold time acceleration.
• Gu Ce’s Starflow Sea Avatar continued exploring Liuchong Mountain, though Gu Ce regretted not sending it to the Heaven-reaching Demon Pillar to help with the game.

Gu Ce studied the rules of the Rhino Emperor Game while his Starflow Sea Avatar remained hidden in Lianhua Ancient City at Liuchong Mountain. An Ethereal Domain formed nearby, and Waterfall Saber Master and Light Master wondered whether its sound could kill Gu Ce and leave them his treasures.

• Ethereal Bewitching Sound arose in the cave, so Waterfall Saber Master and Light Master fled the inner region before it formed an Ethereal Domain.
• Light Master wondered whether the Ethereal Domain might kill Gu Ce and allow them to take his Supreme Treasures, and Waterfall Saber Master considered the possibility.

Gu Ce used the Ethereal Bewitching Sound in Liuchong Mountain to temper his will while his true body worked on the Rhino Emperor Game, drawing the Divine Eye Race’s pursuit. After Luo Feng entered the Tomb Ship and gained Duan Donghe Wu’s favor, Gu Ce finally broke through his will after 1,500 years.

• Gu Ce realized he could use the Ethereal Bewitching Sound to temper his will and guided Lianhua Ancient City deeper into Liuchong Mountain in search of a stronger Ethereal Domain.

• After 1,500 years of accepting the inheritance, Gu Ce’s will broke through.

Gu Ce broke through his will and focused on deciphering the Rhino Emperor Game, while Rimuru discovered a way to boost his perception and helped him decipher faster. Meanwhile, Luo Feng met Duan Donghe’s basic requirement, and Duan Donghe wondered whether another inheritance had appeared.

• Gu Ce’s will and consciousness reached the level of a Universe’s Strongest, and he left Liuchong Mountain to focus on the Rhino Emperor Game.
• Su watched Gu Ce decipher the games and decided his talent might be enough to qualify for the inheritance.

• Luo Feng deciphered 1,000 games and met Duan Donghe Wu’s basic requirement, while Duan Donghe considered whether Gu Ce might have received another inheritance.

Gu Ce’s Starflow Sea Avatar was ambushed by Five Huns Master and two Divine Eye Race Universe Masters, who tried to drive him into Liuchong Mountain’s Dark Domain.

Gu Ce claimed two Supreme Treasures in the Dark Domain and set out to investigate another strange fluctuation, while the Earth Lineage continued to grow under Su Mu and Jia Yi’s management. The chapter left Gu Huan and Gu Xi hearing the Qianwu Country Lord’s request for help after Monster Race venerables trapped him on an Original Star.

• The Qianwu Country Lord told Gu Huan and Gu Xi that a Monster Race Universe Overlord had become his enemy over a high-tier Supreme Treasure and that Monster Race venerables had trapped him on Original Star No. 02301.

Gu Ce tested the Heartbreak Sword and his secret techniques against the walking corpse Lord Heluo in Liuchong Mountain, then killed him and took his Supreme Treasures. After learning that Lord Heluo had been corrupted by Ghost Soul Matter, Gu Ce headed for the mountain’s core, where a hidden Holy Land Universe and the Bone Race’s plan to seize the weakened Original Universe were revealed.

• Gu Ce entered Liuchong Mountain’s core region, relying on Lianhua Ancient City to protect him from its unstable gravity, Ethereal Bewitching Sound, and Ghost Souls.
• Lian urged Gu Ce to comprehend more of Lianhua Ancient City’s secret patterns, but he said exploring the region and deciphering the Rhino Emperor Game already consumed his attention.

Yuan Zu entrusted the plan to Gu Ce, who intended to build strength quietly and wait for an opportunity tied to the Qingfeng Realm Fragment Map.

He learned that the palace might remain sealed for ages and discovered it had been made by the Coriander Tribe, leaving him to wait and investigate rather than abandon his avatar immediately.
