Chapter Summaries

Jiang Ping An passed the first sun’s test and learned that the Nebula Pearl’s secret technique could not be completed, then joined Zheng Chiyan in entering the second sun. There, they learned the next test required crossing a meteor-filled hall with no more than ten hits.

• Jiang Ping An explained his strength in the Magma Sea as the result of divine techniques and replenished his Primordial Qi with Lord God Pills.
• The stone statue told Jiang Ping An he could complete the Nebula Pearl’s secret technique or proceed to the other Legacy Grounds, and he chose to complete it.
• The statue revealed that the secret technique was incomplete and could not be completed, then warned Jiang Ping An not to overuse it because of time backlash.

• Jiang Ping An and Zheng Chiyan entered the second sun and learned from Yue Tianqing that its test involved crossing falling meteors while being hit no more than ten times.

Jiang Ping An and the other Middle Lord Gods entered the Meteor Fall Zone to face Nebula Palace’s speed trial. He carefully calculated a safe path through the falling meteors, stayed behind the other challengers to avoid drawing attention, and remained unharmed as they were struck.

• Yue Tianqing entered the Meteor Fall Zone first, followed by Zheng Chiyan, Jiang Ping An, and another Middle Lord God.

After two Holy Land disciples died attempting Nebula Palace’s deadly willpower trial, the guardian spirit revealed that the damaged mirror came from the ruined Myriad Origin Divine Domain and might conceal a treasure. Jiang Ping An tried to leave while Zheng Chiyan chose to enter, but a flash of white light made everyone in the divine hall vanish.

• Zheng Chiyan learned that a Radiant Light Divine Hall disciple had died after failing the mirror trial, and another High Lord God soon emerged dead with a terrified expression.

• The guardian spirit explained that Nebula Palace’s master had believed a treasure lay inside the mirror, prompting the disciples to weigh the danger against the prize.
• The guardian spirit said that only five of 325 Nebula Palace disciples had survived the trial, though those who passed gained tremendous soul power.
• Jiang Ping An decided to leave, while Zheng Chiyan chose to attempt the trial; before Jiang Ping An could exit, white light engulfed the hall and everyone vanished, leaving two corpses behind.

Jiang Ping An and the Divine Ruins Holy Land disciples were dragged into a mirror’s illusion, where corpses and powerful enemies attacked them. After a disciple was killed and a True God appeared before him, Jiang Ping An realized the enemies were created from their fear and urged the others not to be afraid.

• Jiang Ping An concluded that the enemies were manifested from the disciples’ fear and called on them not to be afraid.

• Jiang Ping An explained that the apparent enemies were created from fear, and the Holy Land disciples fled while he stayed behind to endure the trial.

• A divine Jiang Ping An emerged from the cracked mirror, claimed to be a buried personality, and demanded the body.
• Jiang Ping An refused, but the divine Jiang Ping An lunged at him and merged into his main body.

• Jiang Ping An used the Soul Disorder Art to purge the mirror’s implanted selfish thoughts, protecting his feelings for his family.
• After passing the trial, Jiang Ping An refused the damaged Divine Mirror and its treasure, but the mirror identified him as the seventh chosen person and said his destiny was sealed.
• The mirror forced its way into Jiang Ping An’s Sea of Consciousness, where his efforts to expel or damage it failed.
• The mirror released two divine souls, and Jiang Ping An discovered he could shift his consciousness between their melancholy and volatile personalities.

After surviving the Illusionary Realm trial, Jiang Ping An considered the two extra divine souls the mirror had given him and wondered why it had singled him out. He accepted a mission to hunt a great demon in the Fire God Realm and set out, hoping to return home someday.

• Jiang Ping An emerged from the trial with two extra divine souls, and Zheng Chiyan thanked him for warning the disciples about the Illusionary Realm.

• Jiang Ping An said the posted reward was only twenty-five billion Holy Land Coins, and Zhu Qianqi protested that Lava Fort had offered one thousand Lord God Pills worth one hundred billion.

Jiang Ping An killed the Blazing Fire Evil Dragon at Black Cloud Volcano, but Gongshu Ye suddenly appeared and attacked him. With Zhu Qianqi in tow, Jiang Ping An searched for somewhere to escape, only to learn that they were near Demonfire Cave and had nowhere safe to hide.

• Zhu Qianqi offered Jiang Ping An his treasured sword, but Jiang Ping An refused it and agreed to complete the task without extra payment.
• Jiang Ping An found the Blazing Fire Evil Dragon at Black Cloud Volcano and killed it with a single stomp before clearing away the blood and storing its body.

• Jiang Ping An hid underground and raced northwest with Zhu Qianqi, while Gongshu Ye pursued and waited for the Flying Feather Wings to drain his Blood Qi.
• As purple flames appeared in the rock, Jiang Ping An transferred the Flying Feather Wings to his Origin Heavenly Dragon Clone and sent his original body inside the clone to rest.
• Gongshu Ye used his metal arm to blast himself forward, but the clone spent half its Blood Qi to evade his attempt to seize the wings.
• Jiang Ping An tried to replenish his Blood Qi by digesting the captured Blazing Fire Evil Dragon, but a purple flame burned through the clone's scales as Gongshu Ye caught up and swung at Jiang Ping An's head.

• Gongshu Ye struck Jiang Ping An’s Heavenly Dragon Clone, which used the blow to crash into the Purple Liquid Flame and shielded itself with Primordial Power.

• Jiang Ping An descended through the Purple Liquid Flame and found an ancient broken ship leaking the purple energy that formed the flames.
• Jiang Ping An rushed toward a narrow gap in the ship as the demonic beasts pursued him.

Jiang Ping An took refuge inside an ancient warship beneath the Demonfire Cave, recovered from his injuries, and learned about the cave’s history from Zhu Qianqi. He remained trapped aboard the ship with demon beasts outside and considered exploring its sealed cabins.

• Zhu Qianqi explained that the Demonfire Cave’s flames and beasts dated back to an ancient war, and warned Jiang Ping An not to descend underground.
• Jiang Ping An returned to the cabin and looked toward the unopened doors, wondering whether they held treasures.

Jiang Ping An searched the ancient warship’s cabins for treasure, but found only decayed rooms and dangerous Purple Liquid Flame. He discovered that the formation protecting the final large cabin drew power from the fuel area and planned to shut off its leaking furnace and valve.

• Jiang Ping An opened several hatches, finding ruined living quarters, worthless blades, and cabins burned by Purple Liquid Flame.
• A dark violent personality briefly took control of Jiang Ping An’s body to curse the warship, then argued with him and the melancholy personality.

• Jiang Ping An used Time Power to predict that opening the fuel hatch would expose him to flames powerful enough to burn him to ashes.
• Jiang Ping An saw a leaking fuel furnace and its valve inside the fuel area, and concluded that closing them could stop the flames and deactivate the formation.

• Jiang Ping An reached the limit of his realm and considered connecting his Five Viscera Dao Fruits to attempt a breakthrough to the High Lord God Realm.
• Jiang Ping An approached the unmarked door after its energy supply failed and used Time Power to predict what would happen when he opened it.
• Jiang Ping An froze after seeing what lay beyond the door in his prediction.

Jiang Ping An found the continuation of the Future Scripture in the ship’s cabin and saw projections of his own death and his loved ones’ deaths. After the black metal block absorbed his blood and shattered, a message appeared on the damaged mirror: his death countdown was 320 years.

• Jiang Ping An entered the cabin and found an Information Jade Slip resting on a black metal block.
• Jiang Ping An read the jade slip and realized it contained the continuation of the Future Scripture, leaving him terrified that his life was being manipulated.

• Jiang Ping An angrily struck the black metal block, which absorbed his blood and exploded into dust that surged toward the shattered mirror in his sea of consciousness.
• A line of bloody words appeared on the damaged mirror, showing Jiang Ping An’s death countdown as 320 years.

After discovering that he had only 320 years left to live, Jiang Ping An resolved to grow stronger, escaped Demonfire Cave with a valuable wrecked warship, and returned to the Divine Ruins Holy Land.
