Chapter Summaries

After mastering the Mystic Art’s First Step Realm, Wang Yu absorbed Cosmic Power and gained the Myriad Things Life and Death divine ability, which let him instantly destroy a Heavenly Human-level beast.

• The Human Emperor, Divine Shaman, Purple Bamboo Heavenly Being, and the Pope witnessed Wang Yu’s strength and left without disturbing him.
• Wang Yu considered the power of Cosmic Power and planned to hunt the Ram Horn Beast and other valuable beasts to strengthen his bloodlines.

Wang Yu killed a Ram Horn Beast and fused its Capricorn Bloodline into his own, gaining greatly increased physical toughness. After glimpsing a mysterious presence he suspected was the Astrological Divine Beast Capricorn, he decided to visit the planet’s civilized races while his new bloodline developed.

• The Ram Horn Beast killed a Swordback Crocodile, and Wang Yu ambushed it with Myriad Things Life and Death before finishing it with crimson flames.
• Wang Yu examined the Ram Horn Beast’s bloodline and found that it held a stronger trace of the Capricorn Bloodline than he had expected.
• As Wang Yu began absorbing the bloodline, he briefly saw a vast shadow with a dim eye in an azure starry sky and wondered if it was the divine beast Capricorn.
• After three days, Wang Yu completed the fusion and found that his body had become much tougher, then tested his new resilience with the Starry Sky Blade.
• Wang Yu decided to let the Capricorn Bloodline develop before pursuing another target and planned to visit the planet’s civilized races.

Wang Yu, the Human Emperor, and the Divine Shaman traveled toward Lord Mandewini's territory to investigate the Crimson Snake settlement and seek a way to cultivate Cosmic Power. Disguised as Difumei Race members, they earned the Crimson Snake workers' help and arrived at the walled city.

• The Human Emperor suggested that powerful outside forces might explain the planet's peaceful coexistence, but the group decided to focus on finding a cultivation method.
• Wang Yu, the Human Emperor, and the Divine Shaman set out for the nearest Crimson Snake settlement, leaving Purple Bamboo and the Pope behind.
• The trio waited in Iron Skin Forest and approached a Crimson Snake work crew, introducing themselves as members of the Difumei Race.
• The Divine Shaman cut down an Iron Skin Tree with one strike, and Wang Yu and the Human Emperor felled enough trees to complete the workers' quota.
• The impressed Crimson Snake overseer agreed to guide them, and the trio followed the workers to Lord Mandewini's walled territory.

Wang Yu, the Human Emperor, and Divine Shaman entered a Crimson Snake Race city-state disguised as members of the Difumei Race and explored its trade and customs. The Flag Spirit led them to a ruined Greedy Wolf Army battle flag and an ancient Human Race stone stele, which they bought as they continued seeking a way to establish the Human Race safely.

• Wang Yu and his companions entered the Crimson Snake city-state after the guards accepted their disguise and respected their strength.
• Wang Yu observed the city-state’s alien visitors, cultivated plants, and sale of Crimson Snake slaves, while the Human Emperor recorded information about other races.
• The Flag Spirit sensed an ancient battle flag and led Wang Yu to a warehouse selling relics.
• The Flag Spirit identified a ruined Greedy Wolf Army battle flag whose spirit had been erased, and Divine Shaman noticed a nearby stone stele carved with Human Race ancient script.
• The Human Emperor bought the stele for one hundred White Spirit Stones, and the group reflected that establishing the Human Race would offer a better path to wealth and strength than scavenging for spirit stones.

Wang Yu and the others recovered the Seven Army Stele and learned three Starry Sky Cultivation Methods that could help humanity cultivate Cosmic Power. After the Celestial beings chose their methods and planned to gather Spirit Stones, Wang Yu, the Human Emperor, and the Divine Shaman traveled to White Bone City to find ways to earn money, where they were ambushed by robbers.

• Wang Yu recognized the stele as a record of Starry Sky Cultivation Methods, and the Flag Spirit explained its history, its seven original methods, and how Spirit Stones could be used to cultivate Cosmic Power.
• The Human Emperor brought the stele back to humanity's refuge, where the Flag Spirit translated the three complete methods: Greedy Wolf, Seven Killings, and Azure Bird.
• The Pope chose Azure Bird, Purple Bamboo chose Azure Bird, the Divine Shaman chose Greedy Wolf, and the Human Emperor chose Seven Killings after weeks of meditation.
• The Human Emperor and the others agreed to prioritize collecting Spirit Stones and channeling their early earnings toward one person’s cultivation.
• After a month of developing his Ram Horn Beast bloodline, Wang Yu left the refuge with the Human Emperor and the Divine Shaman for White Bone City in the Barren Domain.
• Several figures sprang from the shrubs and demanded that Wang Yu and his companions hand over their Spirit Stones.

Wang Yu, Human Emperor, and Divine Shaman fought off a band of Lightning Extreme People before reaching White Bone City, where they discovered the Sha Bone Tribe’s powerful presence and began gathering information. After buying an account of the city from a local information seller, they visited the Delecott Family Acquisition Office.

• Seven Lightning Extreme People ambushed Wang Yu, Human Emperor, and Divine Shaman, but Wang Yu endured their lightning attacks and the three killed all seven, leaving Divine Shaman with a minor injury.
• The three reached White Bone City, a settlement built from enormous bones and ruled by the formidable Sha Bone Tribe.
• Wang Yu sensed that two polite Sha Bone Tribe skeletons passing them had strength at least equal to Celestial Beings.
• Human Emperor bought information about White Bone City for ten White Spirit Stones, and Wang Yu read the contents from the shattered bone record.
• The three visited the Delecott Family Acquisition Office, a business belonging to one of the Sha Bone Tribe’s prominent groups.

The Human Emperor, Wang Yu, and the Divine Shaman sold six Red Dragon corpses in White Bone City for three Yellow Spirit Stones, then registered as executors on the city’s bounty platform. They collected a reward for eliminating the Bu Nuo Hak Seven and left with a safer way to earn money, though the Dia Clan still made hunting Red Dragons too risky.

• The side-parted skeleton agreed to buy the group’s six Red Dragon corpses and paid them three Yellow Spirit Stones, assuring them White Bone City would protect their identities.
• The group continued to the city center, where Wang Yu recognized the commission tower as a way to pursue targeted work without endangering the human race by hunting more Red Dragons.
• The Human Emperor and the Divine Shaman demonstrated Celestial-level strength, while Wang Yu showed his Cosmic Power, and the Mohican registered all three as executors.
• The Human Emperor presented the thunder crystals of the Bu Nuo Hak Seven, and the Mohican verified their deaths and awarded the group two hundred White Spirit Stones and one Yellow Spirit Stone.
• The three left the tower with their bounty, having learned that White Bone City’s connected commission system covered many star systems.

After separating from the Human Emperor and Divine Shaman, Wang Yu took a solo bounty mission and killed a Difumei man with Danger Intuition. He was pursued by a Charm Clan enchantress who revealed that the Difumei man had been her husband, and the chapter ended with Wang Yu facing her.

• The Human Emperor, Divine Shaman, and Wang Yu agreed to split up, strengthen themselves, and save spirit stones for their return.
• Wang Yu chose solo bounty work and tracked a Difumei target to a tavern in Little Pan Fort.
• The Difumei man sensed danger and fled, but Wang Yu pursued him and killed him with the Starry Sky Blade.
• A Charm Clan enchantress chased Wang Yu, forcing him to stop and confront her.
• The enchantress said Wang Yu had killed her husband, while Wang Yu recognized her as a Charm Clan enchantress.

Wang Yu defeated the Charm Clan demoness by unleashing his Capricorn Divine Shadow, then survived its severe backlash and recovered enough to begin absorbing her bloodline. The chapter left him midway through fusing the Charm Clan bloodline into his own.

• Wang Yu fought the Charm Clan demoness, resisted her seductive offer, and used Myriad Things Life and Death, but she survived by revealing that the body he had destroyed was a scapegoat.
• Wang Yu activated Capricorn Divine Shadow and killed the demoness with three azure slashes, then fled to a ravine cave as the power's backlash left him severely weakened.
• Wang Yu recovered in the cave and learned from the Flag Spirit that he had borrowed the Capricorn Divine Beast's power at the cost of draining his energy and suffering a dangerous backlash.
• Wang Yu examined the demoness's corpse, decided her bloodline was worth devouring, and recovered his strength using beast meat, meditation, and Spirit Stones.
• Wang Yu absorbed the demoness's Charm Clan bloodline and began the fusion process.

After fusing the Charm Tribe bloodline, Wang Yu realized his human body could currently support only three foreign bloodlines, then spent five years hunting criminals and developing his new ability to recruit the dead as evil spirits. He returned to the Great Rift as humanity faced a confrontation with the Crimson Snake Race, whose commander exposed the humans’ disguises and found an unfamiliar race.

• Wang Yu fused the Charm Tribe bloodline, noticed his appearance and charm had changed, and concluded that adding a fourth foreign bloodline could destroy him.
• Wang Yu chose to improve through bounties and combat instead of returning to secluded cultivation, focusing on his Cosmic Power and the flaws revealed by his fight with the Charm Tribe demoness.

• Lieerweini confronted the disguised humans, shattered their Black Robes and masks with Cosmic Power, and recognized them as an unknown race.

After Wang Yu and the Human Emperor destroyed a Scarlet Snake force that threatened the human settlement, the leaders resolved to abandon Green Light Pearl Star and relocate to the Lightless Galaxy. With a new spatial container ready to hold the Time Dragon Bone, Wang Yu volunteered to retrieve it from the marshlands while the humans prepared for danger.

• Lieerweini demanded that the Human Emperor and the others bind themselves as slaves, but Wang Yu and allied forces killed him and burned his thousand-man Scarlet Snake force.
• The Human Emperor ordered the humans to prepare to leave Green Light Pearl Star for the Lightless Galaxy, where they hoped to settle beyond the Scarlet Snake Clan’s reach.
• The Rune Path experts completed a spatial container capable of holding the Time Dragon Bone, but increased Dia Clan patrols made retrieving it dangerous.
• Wang Yu volunteered to travel to the marshlands for the dragon bone, and the Human Emperor agreed while the Divine Shaman remained to watch for a Scarlet Snake attack.

Wang Yu infiltrated the marsh and collected the buried Dragon Bone in the Space Cauldron, but a Dia Clan Star Envoy intercepted him as he escaped. After a running fight carried them away from the marsh, Wang Yu stopped and prepared to face the Dia Clan member.

• Wang Yu slipped through the marsh defenses and learned from conscripted Crimson Snake Race members that their lord was occupied by trouble at the Holy Light Stone mining site.
• Wang Yu reached the buried Dragon Bone, opened the Space Cauldron, and stored the entire thousand-zhang bone inside it.

• Wang Yu and the Dia Clan member clashed repeatedly until they had left the marsh behind, where Wang Yu unleashed his bloodline power and challenged his pursuer.

Wang Yu killed a Dia Clan expert with two strands of Cosmic Power, then returned the Dragon Bone to the Great Rift so humanity could leave their former world. The people arrived in the desolate Avicin Realm, where they began planning an underground settlement as Wang Yu explored the planet and discovered local crystal resources.

• Wang Yu used Divine Beast Power and Myriad Things Life and Death to kill the Dia Clan member, preserving his corpse and demigod bloodline before leaving.
• Wang Yu returned to the Great Rift with the Dragon Bone, and the Human Emperor and other Heavenly Humans decided to evacuate immediately.
• The Flag Spirit activated the Dragon Bone, carrying a million people away as the Great Rift collapsed behind them.
• The Dragon Bone arrived on an unoccupied pearl star in the Avicin Realm, and the group confirmed the realm’s barren surface and stronger underground energy.
• The Human Emperor and the other Heavenly Humans chose to build an Underground City, while Wang Yu explored the surrounding wilderness and found Azure Cold Crystal and other ores.

Wang Yu advanced his profound art to the Second Step Realm and forcibly drew in extra Cosmic Power, earning a Heavenly Punishment that he survived. After testing his stronger Myriad Things Life and Death ability, he began searching the Dia Clan corpse’s bloodline and saw an imprint resembling an Angel.

• Wang Yu burned a pack of Rotten Ones and assessed the dangers posed by the decaying creatures around the human settlement.
• After returning to the settlement, Wang Yu spent half a month comprehending his profound art while the Divine Shaman and Purple Bamboo discussed possible uses for Azure Crystal Ore.
• Wang Yu reached the Second Step Realm, drew in a full strand and then some additional Cosmic Power, and was struck by Heavenly Punishment that shattered his mountain cave.
• The Flag Spirit explained that Heavenly Punishment reclaimed Cosmic Power from powerful lifeforms, while Wang Yu endured the lingering energy and learned that he had expanded his bloodline.
• Wang Yu tested his upgraded Myriad Things Life and Death ability, then began devouring the Dia Clan member’s bloodline and saw a winged figure that resembled an Angel.

• Jiang Shenyi delivered construction metals to the growing Underground City, and Che Qin noted how quickly Jiang's cultivation was advancing.
• A group of six-legged Rotten Ones charged the construction site, and tens of thousands of Human Race powerhouses destroyed them while several Heavenly Humans dealt with the strongest monsters.
• Divine Shaman proposed building watch posts against future attacks, and the Human Emperor agreed.

Wang Yu visited White Bone City in the Avicin Realm to buy intelligence about the Angel Race and learned that humanity remained far weaker than the major civilizations around it. He also discovered that Holy Light Stones accelerated his Mystic Art training and learned that their main source was the Tianguang Star System, leaving him considering how to obtain more.

• Wang Yu used his Delecott Family gray bone to enter White Bone City and bought regional intelligence and information about the Angel Race.
• Wang Yu learned that the Angel Race was a level-three civilization whose members were born with Cosmic Power, and he considered humanity's need to grow stronger and develop its new Underground City.

• Wang Yu bought 195 Holy Light Stones from a Sha Bone Tribe merchant after showing his gray bone token and securing a reduced price.
• Wang Yu learned that the Holy Light Stones came from the Tianguang Star System and were among the Angel Race's required tributes, and he considered planning a way to acquire more.

Wang Yu and humanity prepared to retaliate against the Ghost Shadow Tribe after the Human Emperor and Divine Shaman were ambushed. When Wang Yu, the Human Emperor, Che Qin, and the Pope reached White Bone City’s region, they found the sky swallowed by an ominous darkness and the universe’s energy in chaos.

• Wang Yu returned to the Underground City, where the Human Emperor and Divine Shaman told him the Ghost Shadow Tribe had ambushed them and left the Divine Shaman gravely injured.
• Wang Yu agreed to deal with the attackers, and Che Qin joined him after the Human Emperor warned that one Ghost Shadow Tribe member wielded Cosmic Power.
• Three months later, Wang Yu, the Human Emperor, Che Qin, and the Pope traveled through the Magnetic Separation Gate to White Bone City with another shipment of Jade Silk clothing.
• Wang Yu sensed something wrong and saw that a boundless darkness had erased the stars as chaotic universal energy suggested a coming mutation.

The Human Emperor, Wang Yu, and Che Qin learned that the Darkest Hour would bring deadly calamities but also valuable meteorites rich in Cosmic Power. After killing the Ghost Shadow Tribe scouts, Wang Yu faced their Star Envoys and left the High-level Star Envoy injured but still fighting.

• The Human Emperor traded jade-silk garments with Broomcut at the Delecott Family's Purchasing Office and learned that White Bone City would close because the Darkest Hour was approaching.
• Wang Yu and the Human Emperor learned that the Darkest Hour would bring Rotten Tides, meteor showers, and other disasters, while its meteorites could help Star Envoys cultivate stronger Cosmic Power.
• Wang Yu led the others out of White Bone City, detected the Ghost Shadow Tribe bandits following them, and killed every scout who revealed themselves.
• The Ghost Shadow Tribe ambushers appeared with one High-level Star Envoy and one Low-level Star Envoy, and Wang Yu killed the Low-level Star Envoy before the High-level Star Envoy attacked him from behind.
• Wang Yu struck back against the High-level Star Envoy, and their clash sent both fighters tumbling through the air, leaving the enemy slightly injured.

Wang Yu defeated a Ghost Shadow Tribe force that had ambushed the Human Emperor and Che Qin, and the survivors’ interrogation revealed the tribe had no powerful backer. As the group prepared to venture to the surface during the approaching Darkest Hour, Wang Yu’s Mental Power underwent a dramatic transformation, greatly expanding his senses and control over energy.

• Wang Yu used his Mystic Art to kill the Ghost Shadow Tribe’s Low-level Star Envoys and weaken their High-level Star Envoy, then bound and killed the leader with Capricorn Divine Shadow and Red Flame.
• Wang Yu, the Human Emperor, and Che Qin captured five surviving Ghost Shadow Tribesmen, whose interrogation revealed their force had targeted Jade Silk products and had no greater power behind it.
• The Human Emperor announced he would seek meteorites during the approaching Darkest Hour, and Purple Bamboo, the Divine Shaman, Wang Yu, and the other Heavenly Beings agreed to join him.
• Wang Yu continued cultivating his Mystic Art and resolved to seek more Holy Light Stones, then discovered his Mental Power had compressed into a sphere and increased its sensing range and control.
• Wang Yu divided Red Flame into tens of thousands of tiny flames and merged them into a fireball powerful enough to threaten the Heavenly Being Tower before dispersing it.

As the Darkest Hour began, Wang Yu and the Human Emperor’s group survived a devastating meteor strike and claimed its meteorite, driving away rival tribes while the others cultivated its Cosmic Power. After ten days, they moved on to seek more meteorites, but every one they found had already been drained by other races.

• The Human Emperor sent human fighters to clear the Rotten Ones near the Underground City, while Che Qin watched over them and Wang Yu sensed the approaching meteor shower.
• A meteorite struck the wasteland and annihilated the Rotten Ones; Wang Yu shielded the group from the flames, and the Human Emperor identified the meteorite as a source of Cosmic Power.
• Wang Yu scared away a group of nine Ghost Lantern Tribe members, then Purple Bamboo cooled the meteorite so the Human Emperor and the others could cultivate while Wang Yu stood guard.
• Wang Yu drove away a Ghost Wind Tribe party the next day and continued protecting the cultivators as they absorbed the meteorite’s Cosmic Power.
• After about ten days, the meteorite was depleted and the five others had each formed portions of Cosmic Power, so Wang Yu carried it away to hide the humans’ presence.
• The group searched for more meteorites but found that other races had already claimed their Cosmic Power, leaving empty shells and the bodies of those who had fought over them.
