Chapter Summaries

Zhao Xing exploited the Divine Mountain Geological Change to bind deputy envoys to karmic contracts, uncover divine treasures, and learn how time travel altered the Cosmic Ark across reincarnation ages. After expanding his operation with recruited workers, he encountered a tough opponent in the eighth year of the geological change.

• Zhao Xing tracked down Venerable Chu Ji, interrupted his transformation, and spared him after he signed a contract to surrender seventy percent of his Earth God Crystals.
• Zhao Xing found General Tianyi’s Sky God Blade and learned from Bowei how reincarnation ages changed history and why the Cosmic Ark existed in independent space-time.
• Zhao Xing discovered Beast God Tibu’s remains and recovered a mid-grade Dao Divine Artifact, while Bowei warned that Zhao Xing might need to attain godhood in all three factions simultaneously.
• Zhao Xing recruited Lei Hong and Chu Ji to locate other deputy envoys by offering them reduced shares of their Earth God Crystals and priority access to opportunities.
• With their help, Zhao Xing brought the number of deputy envoys bound by labor contracts to fifteen, then encountered a tough opponent in the eighth year of the geological change.

Zhao Xing subdued Liu Qingci at Qi Palace Peak by revealing his connection to the Boundless True God and negotiating a karmic contract. The Boundless True God learned of Zhao Xing’s clash with Liu Qingci and decided to strengthen his protection, while Zhao Xing began dividing the Earth God Crystals.

• Zhao Xing arrived at Qi Palace Peak and ordered the Descenders to attack Liu Qingci, promising them a share of her Earth God Crystals and threatening those who held back.
• Zhao Xing guided Chu Ji through Liu Qingci’s sound techniques, but Liu Qingci summoned her Martial God Incarnation and reached Early Divine Soldier-level combat strength.
• Zhao Xing demanded Earth God Crystals and a karmic contract, then showed Liu Qingci a Karma Thread proving his connection to the Boundless True God; Liu Qingci agreed.
• Divine General Yin Zai visited the Boundless True God to confirm whether Zhao Xing was his disciple, and the Boundless True God confirmed it before arranging more protection for Zhao Xing.
• After Zhao Xing and Liu Qingci signed the contract, Zhao Xing told the gathered Descenders to come split the Earth God Crystals.

Zhao Xing distributed the Earth God Crystals from the first Divine Mountain Earth Change and used Golden Cicada Dharma Forms to pressure Descenders who rejected his protection. After the event ended, Bi Luo Free God exposed and punished several crystal thieves, while Zhao Xing’s allies defended him and he returned safely to his cave with his gains.

• Zhao Xing distributed the Earth God Crystals according to merit, using Golden Cicada True Form to help Chu Ji bear his share without extra karmic burden.
• After Bowei warned Zhao Xing that the opportunity event was ending, Bi Luo Free God awakened and suppressed the Divine Mountain Earth Change, which ended at the close of year 337.
• Chu Ji failed to persuade sixteen Descenders to accept Zhao Xing’s protection, so Zhao Xing sent Golden Cicadas along their Karma Threads; twelve eventually agreed to pay, while Xu Huai and three others resisted.
• Bi Luo Free God summoned the Mountain Envoys and used the Karma Mirror, causing Venerable Yin Xue’s negative karma to cross the threshold and forcing his protector to pull him from the Cosmic Ark.
• Zhao Xing and the other Mountain Envoys testified that he had organized the response to the earthshift; Bi Luo Free God drove off Venerable Ni Feng and Venerable Yu Chen and ordered the remaining envoys to stay in their caves.
• Zhao Xing returned safely to his cave dwelling and began counting the gains he had secured from the expedition.

Zhao Xing profited from the first Divine Mountain Earth Change, trained to manage his karma, and defeated Xu Huai in a duel that cemented his authority over the Mountain Patrol Divine Department’s Descenders. After leading them safely through the second event, he prepared them for the final change by proposing to frame Descenders from the Martial God Division.

• Zhao Xing estimated that his first-event gains were worth over 10 billion Contribution Points, but chose to remain a demigod and cultivate all three factions rather than ascend through one path.
• Bowei explained that Golden Cicada True Form severed parts of Zhao Xing to shed karma rather than create clones, and Zhao Xing later cleared his karma burden through cultivation.
• Zhao Xing defeated Xu Huai in a Mind Battlefield duel by matching his opponent’s divine transformation with the Nine Marsh God, then refused to take Xu Huai’s remaining Earth God Crystals.
• Zhao Xing organized the Mountain Patrol Divine Department’s Descenders during the second opportunity event, helping them avoid detection while he gained 15,748 cubic units of Earth God Crystals.
• Before the third and final Divine Mountain Earth Change, Zhao Xing warned that the group needed scapegoats to evade investigation and proposed targeting Descenders from the Martial God Division.

Zhao Xing engineered the third Divine Mountain Earth Change to draw Martial God Division Descenders into the Deep Sea Region and make them bear karma, but A Su Long’s resistance killed Bi Luo Free God and grievously wounded Bifang. The resulting change to history reshaped Zhao Xing’s identity, and he became the Mount Penglai Guardian.

• Zhao Xing arranged for volcanic eruptions to cast Earth God Crystals into the middle sea region, luring Martial God Division Descenders into the Divine Mountain Earth Change.
• Zhao Xing’s groups ambushed the Descenders and used Earth God Crystals to shift karma onto them, while Liu Qingci and the other Mountain Patrol Descenders also gained positive karma.
• After the Divine Mountain Earth Change ended, A Su Long resisted Bifang and Bi Luo Free God with a powerful divine artifact, killing Bi Luo and grievously wounding Bifang before escaping.
• Many Descenders left the secret realm, but Zhao Xing and Liu Qingci stayed; the Profound Spirit History Book Replica recorded that history had changed and Zhao Xing’s identity would change.
• Three days later, Zhao Xing’s identity change completed, granting him the historical identity Mount Penglai Guardian.

After Zhao Xing was transferred to Penglai Mountain, he prepared for the Penglai Divine General’s inheritance while cultivating the Primordial Earth Treasury Scripture. He received a warning that Evil God forces were tracing his temporal afterimages, but he remained confident in Bowei’s protection.

• The Boundless True God snapped the karmic hairs connecting him to A Su Long, Wu Zhen, and Jian Ling’s Divine Generals, striking them through spacetime and forcing them to stop investigating Zhao Xing.
• Bowei explained that Zhao Xing’s new Mount Penglai Guardian identity was likely protected by the Profound Spirit History Book Replica and would make it easier for him to pursue the Penglai inheritance.
• Zhao Xing and his colleagues received new assignments after the Mountain Patrol Divine Department was dissolved; Zhao Xing became Five Spirit Peak Guardian, while Xu Huai was assigned to guard an ink well.
• Zhao Xing met the Descender Song Shan, chose a cave residence, and began studying the Penglai Divine General’s farming interests and the Primordial Earth Treasury Scripture under Bowei’s guidance.
• After 120 years on Moon Spirit Peak, Zhao Xing received He Chengzi’s warning that many gods were tracking his temporal afterimages, but he trusted Bowei to protect him.

Zhao Xing entered the Penglai Divine General’s inheritance trial, where participants had to grow extraordinary Mortal Bamboo or cultivate Divine-tier Soil. He recognized that success depended on competing for resources above and below ground, but a silver-haired participant targeted his territory as the chapter ended.

• Bowei explained that the inheritance trial might not appear in every cycle and described how the Cosmic Ark’s fall had been fixed in history by the True History Faction.
• Zhao Xing joined Liu Qingci, Xu Huai, and Zhuo Hua as they discussed their backgrounds and whether they would enter the inheritance trial.
• The Penglai Divine General summoned Descenders to Bamboo Elephant Grotto-Heaven, where 13,481 participants began a trial using ten Mortal Bamboo seeds and ordinary first-rank soil.
• Zhao Xing used the Earth Treasury Art’s methods to determine that the trial involved competing for nutrients in the sky and underground, then planted his seeds.
• A neighboring participant eliminated the cultivator ahead of Zhao Xing and began draining Zhao Xing’s territory, dismissing his warning that he had crossed the boundary.

Zhao Xing defeated Zi Zhao’s invasion with the Earth Treasury Divine Ox, then spent years developing his bamboo and expanding his territory. When Zhao Xing later confronted Zi Zhao, he exposed the flaws in Zi Zhao’s giant bamboo and convinced him to yield his resources while sparing the plants so he could witness Zhao Xing’s attempt to reach one hundred thousand extremes.

• Zhao Xing used the Earth Treasury Divine Ox to break Zi Zhao’s defenses and wither most of his underground roots, prompting Zi Zhao to withdraw and nearby Ministers of Agriculture to abandon the trial.
• Zhao Xing cultivated a Five Elements Bamboo, strengthened its roots, and spread them through five territories while regulating the underground energies with Earth Palaces and spells.
• After extending the bamboo roots thousands of poles underground, Zhao Xing struck a Dead Vein at fifty thousand extremes and concluded he needed to expand horizontally instead.
• Three and a half years later, Zhao Xing confronted Zi Zhao, who had plundered eighty-nine territories and grown a Giant Spirit Bamboo nearly seventy thousand extremes tall.
• Zhao Xing explained how Zi Zhao’s cultivation methods had damaged the bamboo and why the Profound Mystery Reflection Art was unlikely to save it.
• Zi Zhao accepted Zhao Xing’s judgment, offered him all his resources, and asked him to spare the bamboo so he could see whether Zhao Xing could reach one hundred thousand extremes.

After decades of competition in the Penglai Divine General’s inheritance trial, Zhao Xing and three other demigods cultivated bamboo toward the hundred-thousand-extreme goal while learning from and influencing one another. Zhao Xing was named the final heir after completing the challenge and producing a grain of divine soil.

• As the trial dwindled to twelve challengers, Zhao Xing gathered territory through negotiation and discussed the Dao with Venerable Xi Xian, while Xu Huai’s azure sky bamboo collapsed at ninety-one thousand ji and Xi Xian later failed at eighty-eight thousand ji.
• Zhao Xing, Venerable Miao Hua, Venerable Yu He, and Venerable Ren Chuan emerged as the final four and began growing five elements bamboo, drawing on celestial timing, True Self methods, and earthly advantage.
• As the four bamboo growers influenced one another, Zhao Xing guarded his Dao heart against Miao Hua’s misleading methods, and all four eventually prepared multiple bamboo stalks for their final attempts.
• Yu He, Miao Hua, and Ren Chuan made their attempts in succession, achieving different combinations of hundred-thousand-extreme bamboo and spirit or divine soil.
• Zhao Xing’s first bamboo surpassed one hundred thousand extremes, while his second produced a grain of divine soil, and the Penglai Divine General declared him the final heir.

Zhao Xing completed Penglai's trial and received the Penglai Divine General's inheritance, including seven divine-grade Firecracker Bamboo plants, Divine Power Towers, and the General's divine essence. After Penglai asked Zhao Xing to rescue his pet beast Ying, the History Book rubbing began to shatter and a voice called for Yan Ao to pull Zhao Xing out.

• The Penglai Divine General explained that the Cosmic Ark was trapped in a repeating time cycle, and that the trial participants had been isolated from their memories of Han Bing.
• The Penglai Divine General showed Zhao Xing seven divine-grade Firecracker Bamboo mother plants and taught him their Divine Meridian Diagram before giving him more than ten thousand Divine Power Towers.
• The Penglai Divine General asked Zhao Xing to rescue Ying in the future, then led him to meet the Earth Treasury Divine King and transformed himself into divine essence for Zhao Xing.
• Zhao Xing received the divine essence, divine soil, bamboo plants, and Divine Power Towers, while the Boundless True God learned of the inheritance and observed Penglai's request concerning Ying.
• Zhao Xing's Profound Spirit History Book rubbing began to shatter, and a voice urged Yan Ao to pull him out.

Zhao Xing exchanged Penglai Divine General’s treasures for more than 600 billion Contribution Points, then received a secret plan from the Moon God Palace Master to disguise himself and go undercover in the Evil God faction. After Ji Si returned with major gains in fate cultivation, Zhao Xing entered a hidden passage in the Reincarnation Divine Palace to travel to the final Solar Year of the Luo Emperor Era.

• Zhao Xing gave Lu Ya fresh Beast God corpses, exchanged most of his loot at the Profound Spirit Treasury, and kept Penglai Divine General’s most valuable treasures.
• The Moon God Palace Master told Zhao Xing to pose as a Minister of Agriculture God, stage a falling-out with the Desolate Territory Faction, and seek cover under Boundless True God.
• Zhao Xing convinced Lu Ya and Yan Ao that he planned to pursue the Earthly Advantage Faction path, while Bowei learned that he would remain Zhao Xing’s hidden protector.
• Zhao Xing studied the four historical Void Divine Items and learned that the Zu Emperor Dynasty could grant him divine power and a divine body during the Five Emperors Era.
• Ji Si returned as a Level Seventeen demigod after creating a god-level destiny in the Tianzze Star Region, and the Hemp Robe Divine Physiognomy struck Zhao Xing through the Eight Directions Divine Mirror for hearing a secret.
• Zhao Xing followed his protecting Divine General to the Reincarnation Divine Palace, where Palace Master Tu Ning opened a passage to the first year of the final Solar Year of the Luo Emperor Era.

Zhao Xing arrived in the Luo Emperor Era and joined a scheme to make his departure from the Desolate Territory Faction appear justified. As the staged kidnapping began at Mount Pei Yue, Xufeng Divine General betrayed him and Yan Ao was caught between the attackers and Zhao Xing.

• During his journey through time, Zhao Xing learned from Bowei about the Five Emperors, time shadows, and divine concealment, while his old karmic ties to Fan Qianrou, Wei Tianchen, and Qing Yuzi stirred.
• Zhao Xing arrived at Bai Feng Pavilion, where Xufeng Divine General welcomed him and gave him White Phoenix Swallowing the Sun.
• Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother and Xufeng Divine General arranged an ambush, while Bowei explained that staged betrayals and abductions would help Zhao Xing leave the Desolate Territory Faction.
• Divine General Huanli demanded to see Zhao Xing's Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, and Zhao Xing left angrily before secretly seeking comfort from the Boundless True God.
• Zhao Xing chose Mount Pei Yue as his place to become a god and traveled there with Xufeng Divine General and Yan Ao.
• As Zhao Xing descended toward Mount Pei Yue, Xufeng Divine General impaled Yan Ao with the God-Piercing Spear, while five waiting Divine Generals trapped Zhao Xing with a pulling force.

After Xu Feng’s betrayal enabled the Five Abyss Thunder God Department to attack Zhao Xing, Huan Li saved him but took a portion of his Ten Directions Mountain Scripture. Feeling betrayed, Zhao Xing left Yan Ao and Lu Ya to join the Boundless True God, who welcomed him to Divine Machine City and presented the captured Xu Feng as a meeting gift.

• Xu Feng helped five Divine Generals of the Five Abyss Thunder God Department ambush Zhao Xing, but Yan Ao resisted them until Lu Ya returned and captured one attacker.
• Divine General Ruo Xi betrayed Yan Ao and attacked Zhao Xing, and Huan Li later used his talent to remove the Devouring Origin Entity poison and recover Zhao Xing.
• Huan Li learned part of Zhao Xing’s Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, and Zhao Xing pretended to resent Yan Ao and Lu Ya for failing to protect him.
• The Boundless True God learned of the ambush, urged Zhao Xing to come to Divine Machine City, and later helped him leave Bai Feng Pavilion after he passed three Divine Tribulations.
• Zhao Xing told Yan Ao and Lu Ya he wanted to walk his path alone, then the Boundless True God brought him to Divine Machine City and showed him the captured Xu Feng.

The Immeasurable True God gave Zhao Xing Emperor Rui’s Pass Document, the Ming Li Shadowless Art, and promised to craft him a bonded divine artifact before settling him in a lavish territory in Divine Mechanism City. Years later, Zhao Xing began learning the concealment art while Ji Si reacted to a calculation that said he had defected and resolved to become the Eight Directions Divine Mirror’s true master sooner.

• The Immeasurable True God gave Zhao Xing Emperor Rui’s Pass Document and the Ming Li Shadowless Art, offered to craft him a bonded divine artifact, and told him to settle in Divine Mechanism City.
• The Immeasurable True God ordered Zhao Xing to kill Xufeng Divine General, but Zhao Xing asked to keep him alive as a test subject and the Immeasurable True God agreed.
• Peacock guided Zhao Xing through his new territory, which included spirit mountains, divine beasts, medical halls, cultivation facilities, and a star-chart wall that displayed events across time and space.
• Ji Si rejected Hemp Robe Divine Physiognomy’s calculation that Zhao Xing had defected, then vowed to intensify her training and claim the Eight Directions Divine Mirror’s final inheritance.
• After three years in Divine Mechanism City, Zhao Xing entered the Ming Li Shadowless Art’s Enlightenment Realm, learned its three layers, and began cultivating Shadow Gathering in the River of Time.

Zhao Xing mastered the first layer of the Minglei Shadowless Art, developed Divine Fire Fuxu, and trained until he defeated Divine General Xu Feng. The Boundless True God then revealed that Zhao Xing’s unresolved karma with Qing Yuzi was blocking his progress and sent him to the Silent Extinction World.

• After Zhao Xing completed the first layer of the Minglei Shadowless Art, the Boundless True God set fighting Divine General Xu Feng to a draw and forming the Minglei Seal as conditions for travel.
• Zhao Xing tested his arts against Xu Feng, then developed Divine Fire Fuxu to penetrate defenses and teleport its targets.
• Zhao Xing trained with Xu Feng for three thousand years, and Divine Fire Fuxu and the nine World Mountains ultimately killed him after Zhao Xing defeated him.
• The Boundless True God observed that Zhao Xing’s Minglei Seal remained blocked by unresolved karma with Qing Yuzi.
• The Boundless True God told Zhao Xing to travel to the largest Silent Extinction World in endless space-time.

Zhao Xing learned why the Yellow Silent Extinction World was anomalous, then used a Historical Scholar’s artifact to follow Qing Yuzi’s past and complete a spacetime connection to him. He entered the world, reunited with Qing Yuzi, and helped him secure a meeting with Fairy Lianyin, while the two remained wary of Divine General Qiongyu.

• The Boundless True God explained that the Great Yellow World had extraordinarily brief life-bearing stages and endured an unusually long annihilation, and he warned Zhao Xing that its disasters destroyed even powerful natives.
• With Yu Yu Hakusho’s help, Zhao Xing watched Qing Yuzi’s time remnants, learning about his harsh journey through multiple roles and factions before he reached the Bookless Divine Domain and later fled into the Yellow Silent Extinction World.
• The Boundless True God sent Zhao Xing into the Yellow Silent Extinction World with a Directional Time Page, and Zhao Xing arrived near Stormwind City and found Qing Yuzi relaxing at the Supreme Truth Pavilion.
• Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi discussed Qing Yuzi’s Celestial Timing Shennong origins and his intelligence work, then Qing Yuzi explained that he was seeking information from Fairy Lianyin to complete a valuable opportunity.
• Qing Yuzi outbid Divine General Qiongyu to finish third in the Supreme Truth Pavilion’s gift ranking, winning a chance to meet Fairy Lianyin, while he warned Zhao Xing that they would need to flee afterward.

Qing Yuzi enlisted Zhao Xing to search for Divine King Yu Heng’s remains using clues from God King Zhang Yue’s Hidden Tomb Realm. After learning that a likely seven-star suspected tomb lay inside a World Transfer Tower, Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi accepted Lianyin Divine General’s offer to reveal more.

• Divine General Qiongyu asked a deputy pavilion master to track the third-ranked bidder, while Qing Yuzi invited Zhao Xing to join his treasure hunt and offered to split any gains equally.
• Qing Yuzi showed Zhao Xing the Hidden Tomb Realm and explained that God King Zhang Yue’s memoir could lead them to the remains of Divine King Yu Heng and a concealed cenotaph within the Yi Divine Kingdom.
• Zhao Xing asked Bowei whether he could prevent Qing Yuzi’s fate, and Bowei warned that the destiny loop was fixed and that abandoning it would cause Qing Yuzi’s death.

• Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi accepted Lianyin Divine General’s offer to show them the remaining information from the fate disk.

Divine General Lianyin reported the donors’ interest in Divine King Zhang Yue’s tomb to the Pavilion Master, while Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi studied the fate disc and found that their target lay in the deadly Burial God Cave. After Zhao Xing proved he could navigate Stormwind Sea, they set out to prepare for the expedition, as a silver-haired physician and his student arrived at Five Seasons Apothecary.

• Divine General Lianyin told the Pavilion Master about the donors seeking information on Divine King Zhang Yue’s tomb, and the Pavilion Master ordered her to watch their exploration.
• Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi hid in Stormwind Sea and learned from the fate disc that the target was Burial God Cave, where Divine General-level dangers would persist until the next mass extinction.
• Zhao Xing claimed he could solve their navigation problem and led Qing Yuzi out of Stormwind Sea in two and a half days.
• Qing Yuzi agreed to attempt Burial God Cave with Zhao Xing after seeing his navigation skill, and they planned to buy supplies in Stormwind City.
• A silver-haired physician and his student Tian Chen arrived at Five Seasons Apothecary, where the physician praised its rare medicinal ingredients.

Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi searched the Burial God Cave for Divine King Zhang Yue’s cenotaph and finally reached the Moon Shadow Realm, where a powerful temporal spell regressed Qing Yuzi to his pre-god state. Bowei warned that they needed to disguise themselves as native lifeforms to move freely in the realm.

• Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi visited the Five Seasons Apothecary, where Zhao Xing recognized Wei Tianchen and learned that he was exploring the poison exhibits with Bi Qi.
• Divine General Lianyin tracked Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi, but Boundless True God punished her for discovering Zhao Xing’s identity and warned her not to reveal it.
• Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi endured centuries of calamities in the Burial God Cave before using Qing Yuzi’s Three Suns Reflection to locate the Moon Shadow Realm.
• Qing Yuzi’s body and cultivation regressed after he braved the Long Sky Tribulation, so Zhao Xing sealed him while Bowei explained that the change was temporary and tied to the realm.
• Bowei examined the Moon Shadow Realm and told Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi to use the Transformation of Seasons Art to disguise themselves as its native lifeforms.

Zhao Xing and Bowei explored the dangerous Moon Shadow Realm for sixty years before Bowei used historical spells to create a path into a palace city. Zhao Xing entered and found himself cast as Yu Heng, the God King in Zhang Yue’s history, leaving him to survive by imitating Yu Heng’s life with Zhang Yue.

• Zhao Xing transformed into a dire wolf while Bowei warned him that the realm’s false sun and moon could destroy intruders, and they survived the realm’s deadly cycles by remaining still and avoiding outside energy.
• Zhao Xing and Bowei mapped the area around the palace city, grew stronger by transforming into Demigod beasts, and continued investigating for sixty years.
• Bowei borrowed Zhao Xing’s Time Page and spent another sixty years casting spells until a second palace city appeared, then sent Zhao Xing inside.
• Zhao Xing crossed the moat and discovered that a spell had given him a new identity as Yu Heng, a God King, and placed him in a story with Zhang Yue.
