Chapter Summaries

Jiang Ping An and Li Xi reached Creation Mountain, where they exchanged a Divine Weapon for World Tree Seeds and entered the Fourth Floor. After arriving in Void Light City, Jiang Ping An avoided a group of suspicious God Kings and began searching for a cultivation site where he could study a World Tree Seed and advance [Transforming to Primordial].

• Jiang Ping An read Li Xi’s information about Creation Mountain and considered using a World Tree Seed to understand the Primordial Rule and complete [Transforming to Primordial].
• After several months of travel, Jiang Ping An and Li Xi reached the God Gate, exchanged Li Xi’s Divine Weapon for three million World Tree Seeds, and received instructions to activate their Creation Tokens.
• Li Xi warned Jiang Ping An that they would be separated and promised to rescue him if he encountered danger, despite the risk of descending from the Sixth Floor.
• Jiang Ping An entered Void Light City on the Fourth Floor and refused an offer to travel with three God Kings whom he suspected were hunting for victims to rob.
• Jiang Ping An searched Void Light City for a cultivation site with a Source Gathering Array so he could contemplate a World Tree Seed and advance his cultivation.

Jiang Ping An searched for an affordable Cultivation Room with a Source Gathering Array and rented one from the Black Essence Tribe. He bought Zhou He's supposedly worthless Black Stone for ten thousand World Tree Seeds, leaving Zhou He eager to learn whether Jiang Ping An recognized it.

• Jiang Ping An found the city’s Cultivation Rooms too expensive and accepted a Black Essence Tribesman’s offer of a cheaper room with an unreliable Source Gathering Array.
• The Black Essence Tribesman led Jiang Ping An to the rundown Black Essence Cultivation Room, where Zhou He argued with the attendant over his expired rental and a pitted stone.
• Zhou He threw the stone away after the attendant rejected it, but Jiang Ping An caught it and paid Zhou He ten thousand World Tree Seeds for it.
• Jiang Ping An rented a room for ten years and headed inside with his room token.
• Zhou He hurried after Jiang Ping An and asked if he knew what the Black Stone really was.

Jiang Ping An discovered that the Black Stone he bought from Zhou He was a valuable Blood-Absorbing Stone, then used World Tree Seeds to study the birth of Primordial Rules and advance his attempt at [Transforming to Primordial]. He continued consuming seeds and Primordial Qi as his comprehension deepened and he grew increasingly detached from the world's Rules.

• Jiang Ping An refused to exchange contact information with Zhou He and entered his Cultivation Room, leaving Zhou He outside.
• Jiang Ping An tested the Black Stone with his blood and revealed it as a Blood-Absorbing Stone, a rare material worth far more than he had paid.
• Jiang Ping An nourished a World Tree Seed with Primordial Qi and observed the Taiyi Era evolve until Primordial Qi emerged.
• Jiang Ping An witnessed the Primordial Calamity Light destroy the Primordial Era and begin forming Rules, then used another seed to repeat the process.
• Jiang Ping An consumed more World Tree Seeds and Primordial Qi while his comprehension grew, and his body became increasingly separated from the world's Rules.

Jiang Ping An’s breakthrough was interrupted when Void Light City’s Enforcement Department arrested him and other Cultivation Room customers on false charges. As he was led away in suppressive handcuffs, he realized the Black Essence Tribe and the enforcers had conspired to target people without connections.

• Jiang Ping An prepaid one million World Tree Seeds and resumed cultivating toward condensing his Primordial Godhead, but the Cultivation Room stopped supplying divine power and Dao Source Rule.
• Sun Zong and the Enforcement Department entered the Cultivation Rooms, accused the shop of tax evasion and unauthorized use of a Source Gathering Array, and ordered Jiang Ping An to submit to arrest.
• Jiang Ping An put on the handcuffs, which sealed his Primordial Qi and Origin Divine Spark, and was led away with Zhou He and other customers.
• Zhou He told Jiang Ping An that the Enforcement Department colluded with mining areas and the Alchemy Pavilion to frame powerless people and profit from their arrests.
• Jiang Ping An used his World Eye to see the Black Essence Tribe members relaxing inside a nearby room and concluded that they and the Enforcement Department had conspired to entrap customers.

Jiang Ping An and the other captives were forced to confess and delivered to the Alchemy Pavilion as medicine-testing subjects. Hall Master Feng Nian chose Jiang Ping An as his exclusive test subject and ordered the guards to take him to his Alchemy Room.

• Sun Zong forced the captives to press their handprints onto false confessions, damaging one Fourth Level God King's Origin Divine Spark when he resisted.
• The Enforcement Department plundered the captives' Inner Worlds and sent the Fourth Level God Kings to the Alchemy Pavilion, while Jiang Ping An secretly memorized their route.
• Zhou He told Jiang Ping An he feared being used for medicine testing and asked for a romance before he died, so Jiang Ping An struck him to stop him.
• The Alchemy Pavilion guards ignored a woman's protest and assigned her to test Seven Orifice Intestine-Breaking Powder before separating the prisoners.
• Feng Nian tested Jiang Ping An with his Sixth Level God King pressure, then ordered the guards to take him to Feng Nian's Alchemy Room as an exclusive medicine-testing subject.

Jiang Ping An was imprisoned in Feng Nian’s pharmacy, where he discovered that the Alchemy Pavilion Hall Master used living beings in his experiments. Feng Nian revealed his plan to test a Soul Control Pill on Jiang Ping An, leaving him under threat as the pill floated toward his cage.

• The guards brought Jiang Ping An to Feng Nian’s pharmacy and locked him in a cage among tortured test subjects.
• Jiang Ping An prepared to break his Handcuffs but noticed a Blood-colored Eyeball monitoring the cages through a thread of laws, so he hid his intentions.
• Feng Nian entered the pharmacy and told Jiang Ping An that the prisoners would contribute to his pill-refinement undertaking.
• Feng Nian explained that he wanted his Soul Control Pill to control high-level God Kings and rule Creation Mountain and the God Realm.
• Feng Nian sent the pill toward Jiang Ping An’s cage and ordered him to swallow it.

Jiang Ping An pretended to suffer after Feng Nian forced him to swallow a flesh ball, which grew into a soul-controlling worm and invaded his Sea of Consciousness. His World Eye absorbed the worm’s Soul Power, but he remained trapped under Feng Nian’s watch and continued acting as though the pill was breaking him.

• Feng Nian forced Jiang Ping An to swallow the flesh ball and warned that its effects could drive him mad or destroy his soul.
• Jiang Ping An endured the pain while pretending to suffer, and the flesh ball rooted into his stomach and drained his vital blood.
• After seven days, the flesh ball produced a worm that copied Jiang Ping An’s soul fluctuation and slipped past his soul barrier.
• The worm attacked the World Eye, but Jiang Ping An’s ice armor stopped it, and a tentacle pinned it down.
• Jiang Ping An’s World Eye used Devouring Power to absorb the worm’s Soul Power and destroy it.
• Jiang Ping An found no chance to escape Feng Nian and continued faking agony to conceal his strength.

Jiang Ping An endured Feng Nian’s Soul Control Pill experiments and secretly used the pills to force his soul toward a breakthrough. After failing and pretending his soul affliction had relapsed, he tricked Feng Nian into giving him a Healing Pill that might help him break through.

• Feng Nian explained that he was testing the Soul Control Pill on Jiang Ping An to perfect its ability to control God Kings.
• Feng Nian opened the green box, and Jiang Ping An pretended to crave the pill before swallowing it and discovering that its power could help his soul approach the next realm.
• Jiang Ping An secretly absorbed soul-related pills for several months, but his soul was injured and he failed to break through to the Fifth Level God King realm.
• Jiang Ping An feigned a soul affliction, prompting Feng Nian to give him a Healing Pill to keep him alive for future tests.
• Jiang Ping An swallowed the Healing Pill and was delighted that it might let him break through his soul barrier.

Jiang Ping An advanced his divine soul, escaped Feng Nian’s alchemy room, and freed most of the prisoners. Feng Nian learned of the escape during his master’s birthday banquet and hurried back to deal with it.

• Jiang Ping An used Feng Nian’s Soul Control Pill to heal his divine soul and break through to King-level Fifth-Order.
• Feng Nian gave Jiang Ping An an upgraded Heart Piercing Pill, then left for his master’s birthday after being summoned and reprimanded.
• Jiang Ping An broke the restrictions on his Handcuffs and cage, stole the room’s supplies and pill furnace, and freed most of the prisoners.
• Jiang Ping An told the freed prisoners to leave calmly, then escaped as the remaining prisoners raised the alarm.
• Feng Nian arrived at the banquet and reported that pill-testing tools had escaped, and his master ordered him to return and handle the situation.

Feng Nian searched the Alchemy Pavilion for Jiang Ping An, who escaped by controlling a disciple’s body and hiding his true self in the disciple’s inner world. Outside the Pavilion, Jiang Ping An encountered Zhou He being taken away to the Flower Pavilion.

• Feng Nian used the Soul Control Pill to summon escaped test subjects, but Jiang Ping An did not appear, so he searched the Alchemy Pavilion for hours.
• Jiang Ping An took control of a purple-haired Third Level God King and hid his true body in the man’s inner world to evade Feng Nian and the revealing formation.
• Jiang Ping An walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion in the purple-haired man’s body while Feng Nian’s divine sense and Avatar failed to recognize him.
• Jiang Ping An saw guards dragging Zhou He away, and Zhou He pleaded to remain a pill tester rather than be sold to the Flower Pavilion.

Jiang Ping An fled Void Light City into the wilderness, where he witnessed Zhou He’s desperate escape and the secret technique he used to sacrifice his Divine Sword for fortune. Sun Zong recaptured Zhou He and seized him for the Enforcement Department, but when he searched for the discarded sword, someone attacked him from behind.

• Jiang Ping An left Void Light City and flew southwest toward the dangerous wilderness to cultivate and plan revenge.
• Jiang Ping An hid in a divine tree as Zhou He raced past, pursued by two Fourth Level God Kings and then Sun Zong.
• Zhou He marked his Divine Sword with a Karma Secret Technique talisman and threw it into the forest to sacrifice it for a chance at good fortune.
• Sun Zong captured Zhou He and argued with the Flower Pavilion pursuers, demanding two hundred thousand World Tree Seeds before they left.
• Sun Zong searched the forest for Zhou He’s missing Divine Sword, then an unknown figure kicked him into a mountain.

Jiang Ping An rescued Zhou He and killed Sun Zong with his Soul Power, then learned the Enforcement Department would send two stronger God Kings after him. He fled with Zhou He and chose to escape into the exceptionally dangerous Mist Worm Valley.

• Jiang Ping An caught Zhou He, broke her handcuffs, and prepared to face Sun Zong as he emerged from beneath the mountain.
• Jiang Ping An killed Sun Zong instantly with his Soul Power and stored his corpse in Devouring Space.
• Zhou He warned Jiang Ping An that the Enforcement Department would send two Fifth-Order God Kings to hunt Sun Zong's killer, so he took her into the Shadow Clone's Devouring Space and fled.
• As the two pursuing God Kings set off toward the Tongtian Sword Forest, Zhou He advised Jiang Ping An to seek safety there, but he refused because the pursuers would expect them to go there.
• Jiang Ping An asked Zhou He for the nearest and most dangerous place, then chose Mist Worm Valley despite its seventy percent death rate.

Jiang Ping An headed for Mist Worm Valley to escape pursuit, but a Fifth-Order God King from the Enforcement Department caught up with his Shadow Clone. After trapping Jiang Ping An with a spatial barrier, the God King demanded his shadow technique, and Jiang Ping An chose to fight.

• Jiang Ping An learned from Zhou He that Mist Worm Valley was a vast and dangerous Insectoid stronghold, then continued toward its edge to shake off his pursuers.
• Jiang Ping An sensed a Fifth-Order God King tracking his Shadow Clone and abandoned concealment to flee at full speed.
• The Tiger Head God King pursued Jiang Ping An, accused him of murdering Sun Zong, and struck his shadow with a crimson tiger claw that it negated.
• The Tiger Head God King trapped Jiang Ping An inside a spatial barrier and offered to spare him if he surrendered his shadow technique.
• Jiang Ping An rejected the offer, and the Tiger Head God King charged at him with the power of a divine tiger.

Jiang Ping An fought Tiger Head God King, whose stronger Dao Domain overwhelmed Jiang Ping An’s own. Unable to win outright, Jiang Ping An stalled by pretending to consider handing over the Shadow Kill Technique, and he waited as Tiger Head God King moved to cuff him.

• Jiang Ping An’s soul attack failed against Tiger Head God King’s Mystic Treasure, and they exchanged powerful blows before Jiang Ping An’s Demon Bone spikes forced Tiger Head God King to retreat.
• Jiang Ping An trapped Tiger Head God King in the Extreme Yin Dao Domain, but Tiger Head God King used his own Dao Domain and superior Rule Power to break free and suppress him.
• Tiger Head God King demanded the Shadow Kill Technique, and Jiang Ping An asked for time, claiming the secret had been entrusted to him by a brother who sacrificed himself.
• After extending his delay, Jiang Ping An agreed to imprint the technique onto an Information Jade Slip, while Tiger Head God King grew suspicious and approached with sealing Handcuffs.
• As Tiger Head God King grabbed Jiang Ping An’s arm to cuff him, Jiang Ping An suddenly opened his eyes.

Jiang Ping An completed his breakthrough by transforming his Origin Divine Spark into a Primordial Godhead, overcoming Tiger Head God King’s attacks. He left Tiger Head God King beheaded and burning in Karmic Fire.

• Jiang Ping An summoned a colossal Gate of Profound Dao, and Tiger Head God King mistook the breakthrough for an escape attempt.
• Jiang Ping An split the Gate of Profound Dao with one strike and revealed his Invincible Belief and Yin-Yang Dao Domain.
• Tiger Head God King attacked Jiang Ping An, but his claws failed to penetrate the Demon Bone or seriously injure him.
• Jiang Ping An’s Origin Divine Spark shattered and became a Primordial Godhead, weakening the Rule Power of attacks against him.
• Jiang Ping An cut off Tiger Head God King’s head with his Bone Blade, and Karmic Fire erupted across the God King’s body.

Jiang Ping An drove off Hu Fengxuan after breaking through to the Fifth-Level God King realm, then fled toward Mist Worm Valley. Hu Fengxuan enlisted an Insectoid expert to track him, while Zhou He tried to become Jiang Ping An’s follower by promising a powerful secret technique.

• Jiang Ping An scorched Hu Fengxuan with Demonic Karma Fire and forced him to flee, but spared his life and escaped with the purple jade disk.
• Hu Fengxuan told a black-armored God King about Jiang Ping An, then arranged for an Insectoid expert in Mist Worm Valley to search for and monitor him in exchange for five God Kings as food.
• The black-armored God King refused to pursue Jiang Ping An, while Hu Fengxuan suppressed his Karmic Fire and vowed to capture Jiang Ping An later.
• Jiang Ping An fled through the forest for several days and continued toward Mist Worm Valley to evade the Enforcement Department.
• Jiang Ping An told Zhou He he was free to leave, but Zhou He begged to become his follower and claimed he had a secret technique that could bring Jiang Ping An supreme fortune.

Jiang Ping An learned that Zhou He’s karmic ability had helped bring them together, accepted him as a follower under strict rules, and stabilized his new Fifth Level God King realm. As they entered Mist Worm Valley to hide, Jiang Ping An sensed that someone was watching him but could not find the source.

• Zhou He revealed that he had used a Karma Secret Technique Curse Seal on the Divine Sword to link his fate with Jiang Ping An’s and claimed his talent could trade sacrificed resources for fortune.
• Jiang Ping An learned that sacrificed resources could not be reused, warned Zhou He against evil deeds, and tested him with Karmic Fire, which showed little karmic sin.
• Jiang Ping An told Zhou He to separate for safety, but Zhou He insisted on following him toward Mist Worm Valley.
• Jiang Ping An stabilized his Fifth Level God King cultivation and examined how his transformed Primordial Godhead had strengthened his body and powers.
• Jiang Ping An and Zhou He entered Mist Worm Valley, where dense fog and countless insects filled the forest.
• Jiang Ping An searched for the source of a presence watching him but found only insects and wondered whether his tension was making him imagine it.

Jiang Ping An hid in Mist Worm Valley and learned about the powerful Dao Beginning Heavenly Mansion, which he planned to enter after the pursuit ended. Hu Fengxuan found his hiding place with help from a God King of Mist Worm Valley and demanded that Jiang Ping An come out and die.

• Jiang Ping An settled into a ravine, set up a barrier with the purple jade disk, and chose to cultivate rather than build a faction.
• Zhou He told Jiang Ping An about Dao Beginning Heavenly Mansion and its exceptional cultivation resources, and Jiang Ping An decided to go there once the uproar died down.
• Hu Fengxuan struck through the rocks above Jiang Ping An's barrier and revealed that a God King of Mist Worm Valley had helped track him.
• Hu Fengxuan demanded that Jiang Ping An come out and die, while Jiang Ping An prepared to face his pursuer.

Jiang Ping An fought Hu Fengxuan, who had prepared treasures to counter his Karmic Fire and outlast him. After a summoned avatar and a sealing nail left Jiang Ping An unable to fight back, Hu Fengxuan unleashed a devastating attack, leaving Zhou He convinced his new boss was dead.

• Hu Fengxuan used Formation Banners to open the purple barrier, and Jiang Ping An burst out to fight him.
• Jiang Ping An's Karmic Fire ability failed against Hu Fengxuan's sacred beads, so he used his Yin-Yang Dao Domain to resist Hu Fengxuan's domain pressure.
• Hu Fengxuan summoned a Fifth-Order avatar from a scroll, and the two opponents forced Jiang Ping An to retreat and take several blows.
• Hu Fengxuan's avatar blew itself up, badly injuring Jiang Ping An, and Hu Fengxuan pinned him with a Mystic Treasure sealing nail.
• Hu Fengxuan unleashed a black tiger attack at the immobilized Jiang Ping An, while Zhou He watched in despair.

Jiang Ping An survived Hu Fengxuan’s attack and used the conflict to ambush two Shadow Mantis Blade Race God Kings. After suppressing all three Fifth-Order God Kings, he rescued Zhou He and fled Mist Worm Valley.

• Hu Fengxuan found Jiang Ping An seemingly gravely wounded and rushed to finish him off.
• Two Shadow Mantis Blade Race God Kings ambushed Hu Fengxuan, destroyed his Teleportation Talisman, and began devouring him.
• Jiang Ping An revealed himself unharmed and killed the two Insectoid Race God Kings with his domains and Karmic Fire.
• Jiang Ping An suppressed Hu Fengxuan and both Insectoid Race God Kings into Devouring Space rather than killing them outright.
• Jiang Ping An flew to Zhou He, collected the treasure, and carried him away from Mist Worm Valley.
