Chapter Summaries

Han Yuan refined and multiplied the Rule Creations, strengthening the Primordial Great Chaos’s defenses before Yu Ji summoned him to help Ancient Language Village prepare for an unusually fierce beast tide. The chapter left Han Yuan back at the village, where its inhabitants were reinforcing defenses ahead of the attack.

• Han Yuan sent two avatars to recreate the chaoses of Yuanshi and Yuanhou, then erased the observing Dao Ancestors’ memories of the earlier events.
• The Dice multiplied the Iron Blood Crown, producing a mid-grade Rule Creation that Han Yuan expanded into a protective wall around the Primordial Great Chaos.
• The Dice also multiplied the Mysterious Black Mist, which Han Yuan elevated to mid-grade and strengthened by feeding it additional Black Cloaks.
• Three hundred yuanhui later, Yu Ji warned Han Yuan that a Source Devouring Beast tide might arrive early and asked him to support Ancient Language Village.
• Han Yuan and Yu Ji returned to the village and saw its people strengthening the palisades and constructing enormous arrow towers.

Han Yuan scouted the approaching Source Devouring Beast tide and discovered that 240 beasts, including ten elite beasts and a leader-grade beast, were heading for Ancient Language Village. The villagers began defending the village, and Han Yuan’s first strike destroyed an ordinary beast, surprising Yu Ji.

• Gu Yu sent Han Yuan to scout near the village and gave him a warning radiance to activate if he found a beast tide.
• Han Yuan used traces of past battles to count 138 living Source Devouring Beasts, then sensed 240 approaching from the direction of the mines and sent a warning to the village.
• The villagers prepared for the unusually large tide, and Yu Ji told Han Yuan to target the weaker beasts.
• The 240 Source Devouring Beasts arrived, including ten elite beasts and one leader-grade beast, and Gu Yu ordered the villagers to attack.
• Han Yuan destroyed an ordinary Source Devouring Beast with one Taichu Sword strike, prompting Yu Ji to ask if he had reached the middle stage of the Origin Dao Realm.

Han Yuan killed an Elite Source Devouring Beast and refined its remains into valuable Dao Source while the villagers struggled to hold off the Leader-class beast and its forces. The battle left the village without arrow towers and nearly out of bricks, with a dangerous group of enemies still remaining.

• The octopus Leader-class beast destroyed the village’s arrow towers as the villagers focused their attacks on the Elite Source Devouring Beasts.
• Han Yuan killed thirty ordinary beasts before a golden-bull elite broke through the fence and charged at him.
• Han Yuan used the Dice to empower his Taichu swords and killed the golden-bull elite, while the octopus leader ignored its plea for help and destroyed another arrow tower.
• Han Yuan collected the elite’s polyhedron, refined Mid-grade Dao Source from it, and used the Dice to double the yield into High-grade Dao Source.
• The villagers reduced the enemy force to thirty, but all the arrow towers were destroyed, their bricks were nearly gone, and one leader, four elites, and twenty-five near-elites remained.

Ancient Language Village Chief and Han Yuan dragged a Leader-class Source Devouring Beast and four Elite Source Devouring Beasts into the Void Domain, where the elites revealed their immense power. Han Yuan protected the Dao Ancestors, then sent black mist to engulf the beasts, which began seeping into their bodies.

• Gu Yu kicked the Leader-class Source Devouring Beast through a rift into the Void Domain, and Han Yuan used the opening to pull the four Elite Source Devouring Beasts after it.
• The villagers attacked the twenty-five ordinary Source Devouring Beasts, while Yu Ji returned to the Void Domain to support Han Yuan.
• The four Elite Source Devouring Beasts transformed into colossal forms and attacked Han Yuan with annihilation, flame, tearing, and freezing powers.
• The Iron Blood Crown shielded the Dao Ancestors as the elite beasts multiplied into forty-eight thousand and battered the transparent barrier.
• Han Yuan spread black mist around the Source Devouring Beasts, blocked their attacks, and began dissolving their skin and entering their bodies.

Han Yuan used his Primordial Power to defeat four Source Devouring Beasts in the Empty Domain, turning their inner worlds into living small chaoses and absorbing their crystals and chaoses. After returning to Ancient Language Village, he learned the Village Chief had barely escaped a Leader-class Source Devouring Beast, which Han Yuan began considering as a target.

• Han Yuan rewrote the Source Devouring Beasts’ inner worlds with his Origin Dao, causing them to develop life and break free of the beasts’ control.
• Origin Ancestor Yuji arrived but became disoriented inside Han Yuan’s black mist while Han Yuan continued his attack.
• Han Yuan destroyed the four Source Devouring Beasts, imprisoned their crystals in the Hongmeng Town Prison Stele, and absorbed their small chaoses into the Hongmeng Jianmu.
• Han Yuan told Yu Ji that the beasts had left, and Wangcai relayed to the Dao Ancestors that the threat had already been dealt with.
• Han Yuan and Yu Ji returned to Ancient Language Village and found that the Village Chief had escaped a Leader-class Source Devouring Beast.
• Han Yuan considered going after the Leader-class Source Devouring Beast.

Han Yuan followed the Leader-class Source Devouring Beast Aipi to the mine mountains, where Aipi mistook his dark Jianmu form for a Lord and offered him the mountain chief’s seat. After accepting half of Aipi’s stockpile, Han Yuan used the ore and other resources to advance the Taichu Origin Dao and enlarge Jianmu and the Primordial Great Chaos; Origin Dao Realm cultivators gathered at the mine mountains’ outskirts.

• Han Yuan traveled alone to the mine mountains and found the wounded Aipi waiting instead of fleeing.
• Aipi mistook Han Yuan for a Lord, offered him leadership of the mine mountains, and admitted he wanted help attacking a nearby village.
• Han Yuan agreed to become mountain king in exchange for half of Aipi’s stockpile, and Aipi introduced him to the other Source Devouring Beasts.
• Han Yuan received thirty million mid-grade ore blocks and seven hundred thousand high-grade ore blocks, then refined them alongside the Dao Sources from five elite-class Source Devouring Beasts.
• Han Yuan’s Taichu Origin Dao advanced to the late stage, consolidating from ten thousand Great Daos into three thousand as the Primordial Great Chaos expanded beyond twenty billion Light Epochs and Jianmu grew to one hundred billion Light Epochs.
• Origin Dao Realm cultivators gathered on the outskirts of the mine mountains.

Liu Jian and Liu Wen led a group from Liu Family Town into the mines to plunder Source Ore and kill the weakened Source Devouring Beasts. After Aipi called for help, Han Yuan revealed his enormous Jianmu Body, and the two intruders tried to flee.

• Liu Jian and Liu Wen brought more than fifty Origin Cultivators into the mines, where they killed a lone beast and collected Mid-grade Source Ore.
• The group killed several more beasts before more than thirty Source Devouring Beasts surrounded them and attacked.
• Aipi confronted the intruders with an Annihilation Storm, but Liu Jian and Liu Wen blocked it with graded Rule Creations and wounded Aipi.
• Aipi called to Han Yuan for help, and Han Yuan emerged from the mine in his towering Jianmu Body.
• Liu Jian and Liu Wen fled in opposite directions, but Aipi's tentacles and Han Yuan's roots reached out to bind them.

Han Yuan used Hongmeng Jianmu to defeat and devour Liu Jian and Liu Wen in the void domain, then returned to the mine and continued cultivating. Meanwhile, the reconstituted Liu Jian and Liu Wen went to Ancient Language Village seeking shelter, but Gu Yu questioned their story and planned to verify it.

• Han Yuan followed Liu Jian and Liu Wen into the void domain and used Hongmeng Jianmu’s roots to capture their Great Chaoses and devour their scattered small chaoses.
• Han Yuan refined the two Great Chaoses, gained six low-grade Rule Creations and a small amount of High-grade Dao Source, and sent the Rule Creations to his human body.
• Han Yuan returned to the mine, where Aipi confirmed that the battle was over and agreed to give him his share as mining resumed.
• Liu Jian and Liu Wen arrived at Ancient Language Village and claimed a Lord-class Source Devouring Beast had destroyed their Great Chaoses and Rule Creations.
• Gu Yu refused to admit them until he verified their report, so Liu Jian left a Rule Recording and departed with Liu Wen.
• Yu Ji asked why the outsiders had brought the warning, and Gu Yu suspected they wanted the village to kill the beast for them while wondering why a Lord-class beast had appeared.

Gu Yu investigated a Lord-class Source Devouring Beast and set out for Bright Moon Town to request reinforcements, with Han Yuan accompanying him. After reaching the enormous town, Han Yuan planned to assess its defenders and decide whether Jianmu should flee or fight them.

• Gu Yu confirmed the Lord-class Source Devouring Beast threat and warned the villagers to abandon the village if it attacked.
• Han Yuan joined Gu Yu on the journey to town, leaving Yu Ji to help watch over the Great Chaos.
• Han Yuan used Dice to upgrade a leaf-shaped Flying Shuttle into the lower-grade Rule Creation Hollow Leaf, greatly shortening their journey.
• Gu Yu and Han Yuan reached Bright Moon Town and learned it held hundreds of millions of residents, including one Creation Dao Realm town lord.
• Gu Yu prepared to report the threat to the town's military department, while Han Yuan considered whether Jianmu should flee or take on the reinforcements.

Gu Yu secured permission to recruit a squad from the town to deal with the Lord-class Source Devouring Beast near Ancient Language Village, while Han Yuan investigated the squad’s strength. Xuan Ci and his six soldiers traveled with them to the village and headed straight for the mine.

• Gu Yu obtained a command token from the Military Intelligence Department, which allowed him to recruit one peak squad to investigate the beast.
• At the War Preparedness Department, Gu Yu learned he could choose soldiers from District D, but elite soldiers rejected the mission because its reward was too low.
• Gu Yu recruited Xuan Ci, a recently promoted peak cultivator, and Han Yuan used an Era Cycle to gather information about the town soldiers and their rankings.
• Xuan Ci arrived with a seven-person squad, and the group traveled to Ancient Language Village in nine Yan Epochs.
• Xuan Ci told Gu Yu that they would go directly to the mine so he could deal with the beast and return.

Han Yuan defeated Xuan Ci and the six guards who accompanied him, then staged a battle recording to make it appear that the squad had fallen to the Lord-class Source Devouring Beast. After Gu Yu returned to town for help, a much stronger second wave of reinforcements arrived, and Han Yuan quietly studied their strength and plans.

• Han Yuan's Jianmu body reached the peak of the Origin Dao Realm, and he ambushed and killed Xuan Ci and the other six guards at the mine mountain.
• Han Yuan used branches to create copies of the guards and staged a battle, recording footage that made it appear Jianmu had defeated them.
• Han Yuan showed the recording to Gu Yu, who borrowed Han Yuan's Hollow Leaf and hurried alone to town to report the squad's failure.
• Han Yuan refined the guards' Dao Source and other spoils for a hundred epochs while Gu Yu sought reinforcements.
• Gu Yu returned with three elite Zone C squads, and Han Yuan listened to their plans while observing the six peak Origin Dao Realm cultivators among them.

Han Yuan studied the Source Devouring Beasts and concluded that the Origin Dao might be an artificially imposed path. He abandoned the Primordial Beginning Dao and chose to cultivate Jianmu's own Dao, leaving Jianmu weakened but unharmed in the Void Domain.

• Han Yuan studied a Source Devouring Beast's rule core and found that its code could easily corrupt and overwrite a Dao Ancestor's Ancestral Dao.
• Han Yuan suspected that the Source Devouring Beasts, Ancestral Dao, and Origin Dao had been created by the same person, and questioned whether the Origin Dao was a scheme.
• Han Yuan recalled that Lin Yu had advanced through the personal path of slaughter and realized that he himself had strayed from his original Dao.
• Han Yuan rejected the Taichu Origin Dao from Jianmu's core, causing Jianmu's realm and its inner worlds to collapse while its body remained intact.
• Han Yuan declared, "Jianmu Dao! Condense!"

Han Yuan reclaimed the Jianmu Great Dao and fused his will, Dao, and true body into one, greatly increasing his strength and lifting his growth limit. In Hongmeng, he sensed Bright Moon Town soldiers approaching the mine and prepared to fight six peak Origin Dao Realm experts.

• Han Yuan restored the Jianmu Great Dao, which surged to the peak of the initial Origin Dao Realm as his will and Jianmu true body fused with it.
• Han Yuan realized he could grow by devouring Dao Sources and reflected that his earlier words about his human body becoming an avatar might have been an intuitive revelation.
• Han Yuan sensed the first faint signs of heart force, then brought his entire Jianmu Body into Hongmeng.
• Han Yuan sensed Bright Moon Town soldiers approaching the mine and detected a special piece of High-grade Source Ore at its core, but decided not to take it.
• Six peak Origin Dao Realm town soldiers, each over 180 billion Epochs tall, charged Han Yuan, and he met them head-on.

Han Yuan used Jianmu’s Great Dao to kill six peak Origin Dao Realm experts and then absorb eighteen town guards. Gu Yu escaped after recognizing the danger, leaving the surviving guards to be destroyed.

• Han Yuan’s roots and Jianmu Great Dao froze the six peak Origin Dao Realm experts, drained their vitality and Dao Source, and absorbed their wills.
• Gu Yu sensed the six experts might have been killed and fled, warning the other town guards before they dismissed his concern.
• Jianmu approached the eighteen town guards and imposed Han Yuan’s rules, suppressing their Origin Dao and weakening their wills and origins.
• The eighteen town guards collapsed into fragments and were absorbed by Jianmu.
• Gu Yu witnessed the guards’ deaths and propelled himself away at a hundred times his usual speed.

Han Yuan fled Bright Moon Town’s retaliation and traveled with the Octopus Monster to Source Beast Town, where he found a vast population of Source Devouring Beasts and a chance to gather Dao source. After settling in, Han Yuan began secretly hunting the town’s powerful beasts to fuel his advance.

• Han Yuan warned the Octopus Monster to flee with him after he killed Bright Moon Town’s soldiers, and they chose to head for Source Beast Town.
• A thirty-thousand-strong army arrived at the abandoned mine with a sealed method from a Creation Dao Realm expert, but Han Yuan had already escaped; the soldiers captured Liu Jian, Liu Bing, and the other Liu Family Town remnants.
• A thousand eras later, Han Yuan and the Octopus Monster reached Source Beast Town, which held around 1.2 billion Source Devouring Beasts but no True Source Beast.
• Han Yuan secured a large mine as his territory by displaying his Lord-class strength, then waited ten eras before beginning his hunt.
• Han Yuan invaded another mine, suppressed and refined its Lord-class beast, killed its three Leader-class beasts, took its Dao source reserves, and continued toward the next mine.

Mingyue Ye Hui led Bright Moon Town’s army to Source Beast Town to contend for the vacant Origin World Lord position, while Han Yuan continued hunting inside the town and found hundreds of thousands of Lord-class Source Devouring Beasts gathered around an altar. Han Yuan joined their queue and prepared to attack them with the Mysterious Black Mist.

• Mingyue Ye Hui learned that Source Beast Town was occupied by Source Devouring Beasts and chose to wait rather than rush in with his army.
• Han Yuan accumulated one hundred million strands of Creation Dao Realm Dao Source and realized he was close to breaking through.
• Han Yuan reached the town center and found hundreds of thousands of Lord-class Source Devouring Beasts taking turns testing an altar.
• Han Yuan joined the beasts’ queue and quietly spread the Mysterious Black Mist toward the beasts ahead.
• A Lord-class Source Devouring Beast asked Han Yuan to restrain his ability, and Han Yuan replied that it soon would not block its view.

Han Yuan used the Source Devouring Beast Vanishing Technique to eliminate most of the Source Devouring Beast Lords in Source Beast Town before discovering that the altar could let him refine the Origin World’s rules. He began refining the Dao Origins he had gathered and raised his Jianmu Body to a level equivalent to a Mid-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure.

• Han Yuan secretly suppressed Source Devouring Beast Lords in the queue, concealing their disappearances with black mist.
• After a hundred years, Han Yuan had eliminated nine-tenths of the beasts, leaving about ten thousand when warning signals announced an enemy invasion.
• Han Yuan found the town’s central core region empty, examined the altar, and sensed that it connected to the Origin World’s rule network.
• Han Yuan realized the altar could help him comprehend the rules and break through to the Creation Dao Realm, while the Source Devouring Beasts had failed because they could not control their own rules.
• Han Yuan refined the Dao Origins of Creation Dao Realm cultivators, transforming Jianmu’s will toward heartforce and advancing his Jianmu Body to the equivalent of a Mid-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure.

Mingyue Ye Hui led a massive siege on Source Beast Town, where a suicidal strike crippled the few Lord-class Source Devouring Beasts defending the walls. As the defenses neared collapse, the seven Origin World Lords watched and wagered treasures on the outcome.

• Seven armies of ten million Origin Dao Realm cultivators each attacked Source Beast Town, but its defensive system repelled their assaults.
• Source Devouring Beasts climbed onto the walls, and Mingyue Ye Hui noticed that only about two thousand Lord-class beasts were defending his section.
• Mingyue Ye Hui ordered Plan No. 287, sending twenty thousand peak cultivators to use the Great Chaos Will Self-Destruction Technique against the beast lords.
• The suicidal attack took all two thousand Lord-class beasts out of action, leaving gaps in the defenses as Mingyue Ye Hui and the other candidates grew confident.
• The seven Origin World Lords watched the sieges from a mysterious dimension and began wagering increasingly valuable treasures on the outcome.

Han Yuan broke through to the Creation Dao Realm, strengthened his power with the Dice, and refined the Origin World. The Dice merged with the altar and revealed that it could help the world grow into a new Hongmeng with rules Han Yuan would determine, leaving him wary of a hidden conspiracy.

• Han Yuan reached the Creation Dao Realm, and the Dice multiplied the growth of his Jianmu Dao Body, will, and Jianmu Great Dao while his mind power rose to Seven-Star level.
• Han Yuan used his mind power to gain full control of the town wall, then multiplied three Rocksolid Belts into one Twelve-Star Mid-grade Rule Creation.
• Han Yuan lit the two mind-power stars in the Mysterious Black Mist and found that it could no longer keep pace with his growing power.
• Han Yuan merged the Jianmu Great Dao into the altar, set its derived Origin Daos as the Origin World's strongest, and became the world's master.
• The Dice and Dice Cup merged with the altar, revealing that the Dice gave the Origin World the potential to become a new Hongmeng with rules determined by Han Yuan.
• Han Yuan learned the Dice's origin and suspected that the immature fruit of the Flower of Nothingness had been shaped by a powerful being, making him fear a conspiracy and danger.

Han Yuan resurrected nearly six hundred thousand Source Devouring Beasts and ordered them to defend the town while he considered whether the Primordial Rule had restricted them to conceal a connection to the final fruit. He planned to establish the Divine Wood Army and rewrite its members’ fundamental Rules, while Mingyue Ye Hui’s assault stalled when the beasts reinforced the wall.

• Han Yuan sensed seven Creation Dao Realm cultivators spying outside the town, then used Top-grade Dao Source to resurrect the Lord-class and Leader-class Source Devouring Beasts he had killed.
• Han Yuan ordered the Source Devouring Beasts to defend the city, conceal his existence, and distribute Dao Sources, and he promised selected members a chance to advance toward the True Source Beast realm.
• Han Yuan discovered that the Primordial Rule had placed breakthrough-blocking shackles and a self-destruction mechanism in the Source Devouring Beasts’ Rule Cores.
• Han Yuan suspected that the Source Devouring Beasts were connected to the final fruit and decided that the Divine Wood Army should have its members’ fundamental Rules rewritten as Jianmu Rules.
• Han Yuan remained unable to break through his Great Primordial Zhenjie Dao, while his human body received a summons to a town that he chose not to answer.
• Mingyue Ye Hui saw twenty thousand Lord-class and seventy thousand Leader-class Source Devouring Beasts reinforce the wall, halting his nearly successful assault.
