Chapter Summaries

The narrator was trapped in a thunder-punishing cage in the Sin Clan prison and assessed how to cultivate without provoking its restraints. Although the Lei lineage was considered ordinary, the narrator’s knowledge of laws and attributes offered a way to work around that disadvantage.

• The narrator tested the cage’s restraints and realized that mobilizing too much power brought down thunder far stronger than the body could withstand.
• The narrator recalled arriving in the Sin Clan prison with twin sister Lei Ying and brother Lei Wen, and explained how the Purple-Eyed Clan’s Zi and Lei lineages were distinguished.
• The narrator assessed the body’s mixed attributes and found that lightning responded fastest, but carefully limited its use to avoid punishment.
• The narrator considered how intertwined attributes could make a cultivator exceptionally powerful, while the Lei lineage’s narrow affinity left its prodigies at a disadvantage.
• The narrator drew on knowledge gained from analyzing the laws of other universes and began mobilizing every attribute except lightning.

The narrator studied the many attributes inside his body while deducing the Void Ancestor’s plans for the Sin Clan prison and the Origin Universe. He began balancing all twenty-four attributes, hoping to refine a poisonous anomalous attribute that could threaten the Void Ancestor.

• The narrator reasoned that the Land of Myriad Races and the Origin Universe might be part of the Void Ancestor’s network of implanted backdoor viruses.
• He considered that the Sin Clan prison might either let prisoners leave after they eliminated the hidden danger or trap them on a false promise of freedom.
