Chapter Summary: “Foundation of a God King, River Figure”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The abyss monster and the Evil Eye Emperor are shocked by Zhang Wan’s Great Sun Dharma Idol, which contains and fuses countless Great Daos. Normally, cultivating more than two or three Great Daos is fatal because their conflicting principles overwhelm the cultivator.

• Zhang Wan continues refining and consuming the Origin Power and Great Daos of the abyss monster and Evil Eye Emperor. Although his cultivation remains at the True God Fourth Layer, his foundation and combat power steadily increase.

• Abyss Monster and Evil Eye Emperor: Shift from confidence to genuine panic. They understand that Zhang Wan may possess the ability to refine and devour them despite his lower apparent cultivation.

Significant Themes

• Foundation versus cultivation level: Combat power is not determined solely by realm. Zhang Wan’s extraordinary foundation allows him to challenge beings far above his nominal level.
• Devouring and integration: The chapter explores the Divine King path as the ability to absorb and contain countless Great Daos within one’s own path.
• Risk behind supreme power: Zhang Wan’s method offers immense potential but could destroy him if his body, soul, or cultivation cannot withstand the Dharma Idol’s growth.

• Zhang Wan’s cultivation rapidly rises from the Fourth Layer of the True God Realm to the peak of the Ninth Layer, then breaks through the barrier into the First Layer of the Divine King Realm.
• The Second True Body shares this breakthrough through its connection with the main body. With the Great Xuanwu World’s Origin supporting it, its combat power reaches a level comparable to a Ninth-Layer Divine Lord.
• The Great Xuanwu World does not weaken despite the enormous amount of Origin Zhang Wan consumes. Overflowing Chaos World Origin from Zhang Wan’s experience-point process replenishes and strengthens it, preserving the world for his future plans.

Only Shi Shen senses that the transformation is unusual, though he chooses not to investigate.
• Flesh Zhang Wan continues interacting openly with the gathered True Gods and Divine Lords, exchanging cultivation arts, inheritances, and Dao insights. These gains are transmitted to the main body and Second True Body, reducing the burden of relying solely on experience-point deductions.
• After five years, Zhang Wan ends his over-limit state. He has advanced from the Fourth Layer of the True God Realm to the peak of the Eighth Layer of the Divine Lord Realm, while the Great Xuanwu World gains power comparable to a First-Layer Divine King.
• Although Zhang Wan has accumulated enough experience points to break into the Divine King Realm—or at least advance further—his body and soul are covered in severe cracks caused by the burden of the Chaos World Origin. Continuing to advance would kill him immediately.
• Zhang Wan entrusts the situation to the Second True Body and enters slumber to recover. The Second True Body promises to stabilize events and activate a second plan if necessary, implying that an important scheme is nearing execution.

Character Developments

• Zhang Wan: Demonstrates exceptional determination and willingness to risk his foundation and life for rapid advancement. He reaches extraordinary realms in a short period but finally recognizes the physical limits of his current body and chooses recovery over reckless further progress.
• Second True Body: Becomes increasingly powerful and strategically important. It not only supports Zhang Wan’s cultivation but also gains combat power comparable to a Ninth-Layer Divine Lord and assumes responsibility for maintaining stability while Zhang Wan recuperates.
• Flesh Zhang Wan: Builds trust and goodwill among the surrounding powerhouses through his open exchanges and Dao discussions. His interactions become an indirect source of cultivation nourishment for Zhang Wan’s other bodies.
• Shi Shen: Shows perceptiveness by noticing that the Great Xuanwu World’s transformation is not entirely normal. He also demonstrates restraint and political awareness by respecting Zhang Wan’s remaining secrets.
• Half-Magic Tool Zhang Wan: Continues a separate verification task, which appears to be essential to Zhang Wan’s upcoming second plan.

Significant Themes

• The cost of power: Zhang Wan’s rapid advancement comes at the expense of his body, soul, foundation, and future potential. Power gained too quickly may permanently damage the path toward the ultimate realm.
• Calculated sacrifice: Zhang Wan accepts immense risks because the resulting strength is necessary for his larger plans, showing that advancement is treated as an investment rather than simple greed.
