• Lu Chuan reached the mountain range where Xue Mingkun’s information said the Yuheng Secret Realm would open and searched the peaks with his Spiritual Power.

• Lu Chuan reasoned that the secret realm might have evolved from Yuheng Star’s origin and swept the surrounding region with his Spiritual Power.

• The Five Elements Exotic Beast unleashed a storm of feather blades, and Lu Chuan countered with Qiongqi Geng Metal Slash while securing the Five Elements Soul Sculpting Fruit.

• The surrounding world collapsed into a vast void, revealing an ancient palace whose gates opened; Lu Chuan stepped inside.

Lu Chuan agreed to swear a Karma Oath to avenge Yuheng Star's hundreds of millions of living beings in exchange for its final World Origin. After refining it for a month, he emerged from the Yuheng Secret Realm and saw Yuheng Star collapsing toward annihilation.

• Lu Chuan weighed the future karma and danger before agreeing to take revenge once he grew strong enough.
• Lu Chuan swore the Karma Oath, and the blurry figure gave him a sealed jade slip containing information he could access only after surpassing the Transcendent Secret Realm.

• After a month, Lu Chuan emerged from the Yuheng Secret Realm into the Vast Starry Sky.
• Lu Chuan saw Yuheng Star rapidly collapsing because its World Origin was gone and realized it would be annihilated within three to five months.

After a month of seclusion, Lu Chuan had advanced his cultivation and gained the entry-level Supreme Divine Ability Five Elements Reincarnation, while Heart Burning Blade reached Limit Breaking and granted him God Devour. He had refined less than one-tenth of Yuheng Star’s World Origin before his body and Soul Consciousness reached their limits, leaving the rest sealed inside him.

• Lu Chuan had stopped his martial cultivation at the peak of the Yin-Yang Realm so he could cultivate more Divine Abilities before pursuing the Unity Realm.

• A blurry figure had burned itself to seal the remaining World Origin inside Lu Chuan.

• Lu Chuan returned from Yuheng Star and went directly to Thunder Martial Hall to meet Tu Qinghu.
• Tu Qinghu sensed a deadly threat from Lu Chuan and praised his progress and achievements.
• Tu Qinghu told Lu Chuan that the higher-ups had approved his S-Class Contract application after a Reformist Faction leader advocated for him.
• Tu Qinghu explained that Special Star Realms held valuable resources and that control of them fueled the conflict between the Human Race and the Hundred Clans of the Heavens.
• Tu Qinghu told Lu Chuan he had to pacify and take control of a Special Star Realm to receive the S-Class Contract and qualify for Thunder Martial Hall's core ranks.

Lu Chuan learned that pacifying the Beimang Star Realm could earn him a chance to compete for Thunder Martial Hall’s recommendation to Xuanhuang Hall. He accepted the mission, confident that his strength would let him overcome the dangers inside.

• Tu Qinghu told Lu Chuan that Beimang was a permanent A-Class Resource Point with distorted space-time, unusable technology, and entrances in Human, Blood Race, and Abyssal Demon territory.
• Tu Qinghu explained that the Galactic Federation had offered control of Beimang to whoever could pacify it after repeated failures.
• Tu Qinghu said an S-Class Contract allowed its holder to compete for Thunder Martial Hall’s recommendation slot to Xuanhuang Hall, which Lu Chuan recognized as a major opportunity.
• Lu Chuan accepted the mission immediately instead of waiting three days, saying he would go to Beimang.
• Lu Chuan judged that his powerful Spiritual Power and combat strength would let him sweep through the Star Realm despite its dangers.

Lu Chuan studied the intelligence on Beimang Star Realm and learned that its factions, resources, and strategic value made it a dangerous but immensely valuable target. He resolved to seize it before negotiating for better terms and planned to upgrade his Treasure Bow for the expedition.

• Lu Chuan reviewed Tu Qinghu's information and learned that the Human Race, Blood Race, Abyssal Demon Race, and native North Mang Beast Race fought for control of Beimang Star Realm.
• Lu Chuan realized the realm's abundant resources and soil that accelerated spirit-medicine growth made it a valuable medicinal field, and suspected Thunder Martial Hall had used the S-Class Contract to secure it cheaply if he succeeded.
• Lu Chuan decided to take Beimang Star Realm first so he could negotiate from a position of strength, despite the presence of powerful experts among its factions.
• Lu Chuan considered improving his Spiritual Power through World Origin and continuing the Star Silkworm Soul Nurturing Technique, but chose to rest rather than rush his cultivation.
• Lu Chuan planned to upgrade his Treasure Bow to a Mid-grade Treasure Tool before entering Beimang Star Realm.

• Lu Chuan gathered and memorized Virtual World posts detailing the Beimang Star Realm's powerful figures and their abilities.
• Lu Chuan left the Martial Arts Room intending to visit Myriad Treasures Tower and upgrade his War Bow, but sensed an ambush as he entered the villa's living room.

• Lu Chuan destroyed the assassin's mask, woke him, and used spiritual pressure to make him identify himself as Tian Kui, a Black Iron rank assassin of Wuyi Lane.
• Lu Chuan recognized Wuyi Lane as the organization that had targeted him after he killed Blood Wolf Xue Mingkun and asked Tian Kui where its base was in Heaven's Gate Pass.

Lu Chuan learned that Wuyi Lane had no base in Heaven's Gate Pass and that stronger assassins might come after him, so he enslaved Tian Kui and ordered him to transfer his money. After killing Tian Kui and collecting his possessions, Lu Chuan planned to visit Myriad Treasures Tower to sell them and buy materials to upgrade his War Bow.

• Lu Chuan questioned Tian Kui and learned that Wuyi Lane had no base in Heaven's Gate Pass and handled its business through the Virtual World.

• Lu Chuan killed Tian Kui with a blade attack and Divine Flame, then examined his possessions.
• Lu Chuan found a Treasure Tool and a D-Class Spaceship among Tian Kui's spoils and planned to sell them at Myriad Treasures Tower to fund his War Bow upgrade.
