• Li Yuan pursued Mohu toward the Divine Palace Ruins, using his Star River Vortex spear technique and repeated mental impacts to restrain and wound him.

He awakened a fourth Star Pulse and advanced his second Star Pulse before news of the battle reached the Guyue Divine Kingdom, where a leader furiously demanded to know who had killed Mohu.

He reached the limit of True Explanation of Earth Star Pulse in the Stone Chamber as Alicia and the others guarded the area.

After Li Yuan advanced the True Explanation of Earth Star Pulse to First Order level 9, he discovered that it greatly improved his Earth Path comprehension and combat power, though he could not yet cultivate its Second Order. His discovery of the God Crystal Chamber reached the Seven Star Civilization’s leaders as war with the Guyue Divine Kingdom loomed, while Li Yuan entered the Divine Palace Ruins to explore its main hall.

• Li Yuan completed the First Order Star Art, gained a Perfect Star Pulse, and found that his Earth Path perception and Starry Sky Spear Technique had become much stronger.
• Li Yuan tried to cultivate the Second Order Star Marks but found their complexity beyond his current comprehension, so he decided to wait until his abilities improved.

• Li Yuan reunited with Alicia, Si Feng, Xiong Ze, and Kross, then chose to enter the Divine Palace Ruins rather than wait for more Source Martialists to explore first.
• Alicia returned toward the God Crystal Chamber with Xiaoxing, who urged her to use it to cultivate the Water Element Myriad Things Dharma Body.
• Li Yuan crossed the palace complex and reached the plaza before its towering main hall, where he expected to discover the secret that had once benefited Yancheng Demigod.

Li Yuan accepted the Earth Element Deity inheritance trial and passed its first two tests with perfect evaluations, enduring an exhausting battle and overwhelming spiritual pressure. As he prepared for the final trial, a mysterious voice told Lanyue that the Earth inheritance candidate was exceptionally talented and might become a Deity.

• A force examined Li Yuan in the plaza, then informed him that he qualified for the Earth God Inheritance trial and gave him one minute to decide.
• Li Yuan chose to participate and fought thirty-six sand Gatekeepers until they vanished, passing the first trial with a Perfect evaluation after nearly two hours.

• Li Yuan awoke and learned he had passed the second trial with a Perfect evaluation and would proceed to the final Trial Grounds.
• In a mysterious land, a voice told Lanyue that the Earth Element Deity inheritor had appeared, was incomparably outstanding, and might become a Deity even without obtaining the inheritance.

Lin Lanyue learned that Li Yuan had been recognized as a potential inheritor of the Earth Element Deity, while the World Spirit warned him that accepting the inheritance could draw the deity’s enemy after him. Li Yuan accepted and was transported to the final inheritance site, where he discovered a star chart containing the Star Truth.

• The World Spirit told Lin Lanyue that Li Yuan had the potential to become a god and showed her his image in the palace.
• The World Spirit explained that Li Yuan had a chance to inherit the Earth Element Deity’s legacy and might also claim the dangerous divine object left behind.

• Li Yuan accepted the inheritance trial and was teleported to a vast sealed hall deep within the World within a World.
• Li Yuan noticed a starry-sky mural on the hall’s wall and began to grasp the Star Truth within it.

Li Yuan encountered Guyou in the Earth Element Deity’s Inheritance Hall and learned he had three months to defeat three Golden Armored Warriors to earn a place among the deity’s disciples. After defeating Number Three and Number Two but losing to No. 1, he began training beneath the Myriad Phenomena Star Chart, where his rapid progress soon let him challenge No. 1 again.

• Guyou introduced herself as the daughter of the Ancient Torch Deity and explained that Li Yuan must pass her father’s comprehension-based trial to become his disciple.
• Guyou gave Li Yuan three months to defeat Number Three, Number Two, and No. 1 Golden Armored Warrior for increasingly prestigious disciple ranks.
• Li Yuan defeated Number Three with his spear technique, then overcame Number Two by unleashing his Star River Vortex true-intent killing move, earning inner disciple status.
• No. 1 Golden Armored Warrior defeated Li Yuan after their clash revealed the gap in his strength and technique, so Li Yuan returned to cultivate beneath the Myriad Phenomena Star Chart.
• Li Yuan trained his spear arts with the Star Chart’s guidance, and ten days later Number Three and Number Two watched in amazement as he fought No. 1 far better than before.

Li Yuan changed his spear technique after Warrior One urged him to follow his own instincts instead of treating the spear like a shield, and his attacks grew more powerful. As Li Yuan continued training inside the Relic Divine Palace, Rudnev arrived at the War Fortress and learned that Li Yuan had been missing for fourteen days.

• Warrior One sparred with Li Yuan and noticed that his increasingly agile spear technique had become stronger.
• Li Yuan recalled Warrior One's advice to stop pursuing absolute defense and recognized that he had chosen the spear for its agility and freedom.
• Li Yuan set aside the manuals that had shaped his defensive style, followed his own preferences, and developed a fiercer spear art while training by the Myriad Phenomena Star Chart.
• After another battle, Li Yuan ate and returned to the stone wall to practice, deciding that laws and true-intent profundities should serve his spear technique rather than direct it.
• Rudnev arrived at the War Fortress and asked how long Li Yuan had been inside the Divine Palace ruins; Wuma Nong told him it had been fourteen days with no news of whether Li Yuan was alive.

While the Seven Star Civilization launched a surprise assault on the Guyue Divine Kingdom’s Outpost No. 4, Li Yuan advanced his spear arts inside the Relic Divine Palace and passed the inheritance trial. The chapter ended with War God Guyou appearing and insisting that Li Yuan call her “big sister.”

• Yan Yunhu explained why the Lieyan Family believed Lin Lanyue was alive, while Wuma Nong urged everyone to wait for news of Li Yuan and focus on the coming war.
• Rudnev ordered a ten-thousand-li raid on Outpost No. 4, and the Seven Star Civilization’s eight Flying-level combatants set out to attack the Guyue Divine Kingdom’s forces.

• The Golden Armored Warriors declared that Li Yuan had passed the inheritance trial and become a disciple of the god, then War God Guyou appeared and demanded that he call her big sister.

Li Yuan completed his master-disciple ceremony before the Ancient Torch Deity’s phantom and received a vast inheritance of Star Arts. As the war in the Lieyu Star Realm continued, Rudnev withdrew from a clash with Aojia, and Marquis Mintian faced the loss of most of his reserve Flying Martialists.

• Guyou led Li Yuan to the throne, where the Ancient Torch Deity’s phantom appeared and accepted him as a disciple, asking him to protect his sister.
• The Ancient Torch Deity sent Li Yuan the Light of Inheritance, containing numerous powerful Star Arts, while Guyou resolved to nurture him and eventually reclaim everything from their enemies.
• Rudnev fought Aojia but could not overcome his Ten Thousand Gold Divine Body, and he withdrew after Aojia argued that Seven Star Civilization could not hold the distant passage.
• Aojia recalled Yu Jinghe’s unexpected strength and returned to prepare another attack after the Guyue Divine Kingdom rebuilt its base.
• Marquis Mintian learned that eight of his ten reserve Flying Martialists had died and decided to report the losses to his clan.

Inside the World within a World, Li Yuan received Ancient Torch Deity's inheritance and was told to return for a second trial once he could kill an ordinary Flying expert in one move.

• Marquis Mintian told his granduncle about the God's Relic and agreed to give the Chi Clan 10% of its treasures in exchange for support.

Li Yuan received the Ancient Torch Deity’s inheritance, learned about the limits of martial realms and Star Pulse cultivation, and reunited with Lin Lanyue before returning to the Seven Star Civilization’s garrison. After days of cultivating and advancing his second Star Pulse, he received a warning that Guyue Divine Palace had launched a full-line invasion.

Li Yuan stayed at the Relic Divine Palace while the Seven Star Civilization fought the Guyue Divine Kingdom’s invasion, and he cultivated the Star Profound Body to greatly increase his strength. When Freya and Roman attacked him, he killed both of them, and the World Spirit urgently drew his attention to a fiery-red token.

• Li Yuan sent Alicia, Si Feng, and Kross to battlefields across the World within a World while he guarded the Relic Divine Palace.
• Freya killed a group of Source Martialists as Roman reported that Muba had been surrounded and killed; Freya and Roman then hid to complete their breakthroughs.

• The World Spirit urgently told Li Yuan to look at a fiery-red token among the fallen enemies’ belongings.

Li Yuan learned that the fiery-red token belonged to a follower of Chi Yan Deity, who had poisoned the True Phoenix Deity, and traded his investigation for resources and greater authority from the World Spirit. After Li Yuan killed Freya and Roman, the Guyue Divine Kingdom and Chi Clan Divine Race abandoned the battle, and Li Yuan left the World within a World with its passage to the Xianxu Civilization sealed.

Li Yuan returned from the World within a World to a warm welcome from the Seven Star Civilization’s leaders, then sold his spoils and met with Fang Hai and two demigods. He explained his inheritance and the closed passage while concealing some details, and learned that Lin Lanyue had become a nominal disciple of the Fire Element Deity.

• Wuma Nong, Yu Jinghe, Rudnev, and other powerful martialists welcomed Li Yuan back and recognized him as the war’s greatest contributor.
• Li Yuan spoke with Yu Jinghe about the rare Visualization Method, learned that Fang Hai and two demigods were coming to meet him, and sold his spoils for about 59.3 billion Blue Star Coins.
• Yu Jinghe told Li Yuan that the Star Realm war had caused more than a million direct deaths and that Kui Jiu of the Chi Clan Divine Race had led the enemy forces.

• Li Yuan told Yancheng Demigod that Lin Lanyue had become a nominal disciple of the Fire Element Deity, and Yancheng Demigod thanked him and offered his help.
• After the demigods left, Fang Hai told Li Yuan that he had invented Dongfang Ji’s order protecting Li Yuan from further questioning.

Li Yuan passed the alliance’s interrogation, then told Fang Hai about his inheritance and traded him a deity Visualization Method for thirty thousand Seven Star Points. He revealed that he had awakened a Nine-fold Star Pulse and mastered the supreme Star Art True Explanation of Earth Star Pulse, leaving Fang Hai stunned by the rise of the Seven Star Civilization’s first Nine-fold Star Pulse owner.

• Fang Hai reassured Li Yuan that the alliance would not seize a deity inheritance and explained the Seven Star Treasury and the likely reward of at least five thousand Seven Star Points.

Li Yuan returned safely to Blue Star, but the Wanmo Civilization began preparing to assassinate him, and Fang Hai contacted him again after three days.

• Fang Hai warned Li Yuan to conceal his Nine-fold Star Pulse and explained that the Wanmo Civilization might target him; Li Yuan revealed he had awakened four star pulses.
