Chapter Summaries

Wang Xian took a group to the Nine Dragon Mountain Range to level up, exploiting his bonus damage against dragon-type monsters and the Heavenly Dragon Soul. After reaching Level 52, he sent most of the group home and turned toward a nearby peak, intending to find the dragon connected to Long Aotian’s contract.

• Wang Xian and Nangong Wu grew closer after he claimed he had forgotten the previous night, and they spent the morning together before leaving to handle their own affairs.
• Wang Xian assembled a team that included Xuan Ming, Xuan Yue, Gu Xiao, and Dou Dou, then led them by helicopter to the Nine Dragon Mountain Range.
• Wang Xian slaughtered waves of dragon-blooded monsters while the group stayed alive, gaining levels and triggering the Heavenly Dragon Soul’s attribute bonuses.
• After two days, Wang Xian reached Level 52 and Xuan Ming and Xuan Yue reached Level 50, so he dismissed most of the team and asked Dou Dou to stay.
• Wang Xian told Xuan Yue that they would switch from ordinary monsters to BOSSes and focused on a nearby peak, seeking the dragon connected to Long Aotian’s contract.

Wang Xian led Su Jin, Cheng Yao, Nangong Wu, and the others to seize a contract from a Level 99 Dragon Eagle Boss. He began battling the boss at the mountaintop, using his exceptional damage and defenses to gain the upper hand.

• Wang Xian explained that Dragon Eagle contracts could provide flying mounts and said he intended to obtain one by defeating the Dragon Eagle Boss.
• Wang Xian brought Su Jin, Cheng Yao, Nangong Wu, and the others to the Dragon Eagle territory, where he and Cheng Yao fought off the pursuing Dragon Eagles as the group climbed to the summit.
• The group reached the nest, where a Level 99 rare-grade Dragon Eagle Boss woke and attacked Wang Xian.
• Wang Xian discovered that the boss's attacks dealt him very little damage, then activated Ultimate Berserk and struck it with powerful skills.
• Wang Xian dodged the boss's barrage of dragon scales, reappeared on its back, and continued attacking while it searched for him.

Wang Xian repeatedly battered the Dragon Hawk BOSS and tried to force it to yield the Dragon Hawk clan's contract, but his healing scheme unexpectedly triggered its evolution into a level 99 Legendary BOSS. The evolved Dragon Hawk attacked Wang Xian, who struck back with Su Jin's help, and the chapter ended as the BOSS unleashed a storm of dragon scales against him.

• Wang Xian nearly killed the Rare Grade Dragon Hawk BOSS, then had Cheng Yao apply Willow Dark Flower Bright and repeatedly heal it while he demanded it hand over an item.
• Nangong Wu, Xuan Ming, and Xuan Yue objected to Wang Xian torturing the BOSS, and he agreed to let Cheng Yao heal it one more time.
• The Dragon Hawk BOSS's health and injuries recovered beyond Cheng Yao's healing, and Wang Xian realized it was evolving into a Legendary BOSS.
• Wang Xian sent Su Jin, Nangong Wu, Cheng Yao, and the others away from the fight as the Dragon Hawk BOSS completed its evolution and attacked him.
• The Dragon Hawk BOSS knocked Wang Xian into the air, but Su Jin restrained it, allowing Wang Xian to strike its eye for heavy damage.
• The Dragon Hawk BOSS broke its scales free and launched them at Wang Xian, who activated Heavenly Dragon Bodyguard.

Wang Xian fought the Dragon Eagle BOSS through its phases while his companions supported him, but its ultimate Death Storm trapped the mountaintop in deadly space rifts. He gambled on reaching the motionless BOSS during the spell, survived with Defy Fate, and stabbed it in the eye as a dragon's roar sounded from within.

• Wang Xian survived Skyfall Feathers with Blood Lock and Cheng Yao's healing, then attacked the wounded Dragon Eagle BOSS.
• Wang Xian and his companions retreated from the BOSS's phase-transition tornado before he resumed the fight.
• When the BOSS reached 40% HP, Wind God's Barrier enclosed the mountaintop, trapping Wang Xian and the others inside.
• Wang Xian dodged the BOSS's stronger wind magic until Wind God's Barrier began cracking, then ordered everyone to flee before the ultimate phase.
• The Dragon Eagle BOSS fell motionless and unleashed Death Storm, whose space rifts triggered Nangong Wu's Blood Lock when she approached.
• Wang Xian used Blink to reach the BOSS, survived the Death Storm with Defy Fate, activated Ultimate Berserk, and stabbed the BOSS in the eye.

Wang Xian killed the Dragon Eagle BOSS by dealing more than fifty million damage before Defy Fate’s invincibility ended, then discovered the boss had dropped the wind-element Forbidden Spell Death Storm. He learned that casting it required 100,000 mana, leaving him excited by the spell but more than 60,000 mana short.

• Wang Xian triggered the Heavenly Dragon Spear’s Execution effect and used Dragon Slaying Shock and Triple Slash to kill the Dragon Eagle BOSS just before his invincibility expired.
• The System rewarded Wang Xian with experience, a level-up, free attribute points, and an enhancement to his BOSS Nemesis title.

• Wang Xian checked Death Storm’s attributes and discovered that casting it cost 100,000 mana, leaving him more than 60,000 mana short.

After the Dragon Hawk BOSS dropped Legendary Equipment and a Dragon Hawk Contract, Wang Xian sacrificed its corpse and received a Skill Upgrade Stone. Using it unexpectedly raised Balance to Level 2, greatly increasing his damage and letting him invest in either Strength or Spirit; he later returned to Immortal Palace territory after a quarrel with Su Jin.

• Wang Xian equipped the Dragon Scale Gloves and discovered their set skill, Spell Rend, while Nangong Wu held onto the remaining Legendary armor for him to consider extracting later.
• Su Jin found a Dragon Hawk Contract among the loot, and Wang Xian gave it to Nangong Wu so Immortal Palace could attract Dragon Hawks to its territory.
• Wang Xian sacrificed the Dragon Hawk BOSS's corpse and received a Skill Upgrade Stone, which randomly upgraded his Balance skill to Level 2.
• Wang Xian realized the upgraded Balance combined his Physical and Magic Attack and Defense, boosting his damage and allowing him to invest in either Strength or Spirit.
• After Wang Xian grabbed Su Jin's ears, she bit his arm for nearly two hours until their mother made her let go and scolded him.
• Wang Xian returned alone to Immortal Palace territory, where he escaped the enthusiastic guild members by heading to the meeting room.

After learning that Dou Dou had posted his Dragon Hawk BOSS battle video, Wang Xian heard reports on the guild’s progress and gathered the level-50 members to enter the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm. He opened the realm with the Heavenly Dragon Token and arrived amid piercing battle cries, where the sight before him made cold sweat run down his back.

• Wang Xian discovered that Dou Dou’s video had made him the subject of many Forum posts, including fabricated stories about his relationships.

• Wang Xian used the Heavenly Dragon Token in the Immortal Palace territory, and a Golden Divine Dragon appeared to open the realm.
• Wang Xian and the other level-50 members entered the secret realm, where Wang Xian heard battle cries and saw something that made him break into a cold sweat.

Wang Xian and his companions appeared in the middle of a strange battlefield, where Li Yan took Wang Xian hostage and rode away with him. General Chen captured the others and ordered them taken to the Royal Capital, leaving Nangong Wu and the group unsure whether they had entered a dungeon or been caught in a conflict between factions.

• Wang Xian and twenty-six companions appeared between two Human forces fighting on a battlefield.
• Li Yan attacked Wang Xian, noticed his strange cursed power, and took him hostage to report him to His Highness.
• General Chen stopped Nangong Wu from pursuing Li Yan and questioned the group about their sudden appearance.
• Nangong Wu said they came from the Dragon Kingdom using a Heavenly Dragon Token, and General Chen ordered his soldiers to seize them.
• While being transported in a prisoner cart, Su Jin complained about Wang Xian getting them captured, and Nangong Wu guessed they might need to join one faction.

Li Yan brought Wang Xian across a seemingly endless battlefield to an ancient city and introduced him to the Dragon Girl, who sensed the Golden Divine Dragon’s aura on him. The Dragon Girl questioned Wang Xian about his connection to the ancestor, and he said he had been sent there by a Golden Divine Dragon but did not know him.

• Li Yan carried Wang Xian on a flaming-hoofed beast and silenced his questions by stuffing cloth into his mouth.
• After more than two hours of flight across a battlefield, Li Yan arrived with Wang Xian at an ancient city and carried him to the palace.
• Li Yan reported to His Highness that both sides had suffered heavy losses and that an unexpected development had affected the battle.
• His Highness revealed herself as a Dragon Girl and sensed the ancestor’s aura on Wang Xian.
• The Dragon Girl asked how Wang Xian knew the ancestor, and Wang Xian said a Golden Divine Dragon had sent him there but that he did not know him.

Wang Xian learned the Longevity Art and heard the Dragon Girl explain that the Heavenly Dragon Empire and its people were trapped in a false world. After a terrifying episode confined him outside the palace for three days, he showed the Dragon Girl the Heavenly Dragon Spear, which she identified as her father’s divine artifact.

• The Dragon Girl gave Wang Xian the Longevity Art, and he learned it before she tested its curse by knocking him into False Death.
• After Wang Xian recovered, the Dragon Girl explained that the empire had been destroyed and its people were trapped in a false world, with most of them cursed and their memories altered.
• A strange, furious presence stirred inside the palace, so the Dragon Girl sent Li Yan to carry Wang Xian outside and seal the doors with ancient runes.
• The palace shook under repeated roars and impacts for three days while Li Yan linked her HP with Wang Xian’s and refused to leave the Dragon Girl.
• When the disturbance ended, Li Yan brought Wang Xian back inside, and the Dragon Girl identified his Heavenly Dragon Spear as her father’s divine artifact.

Wang Xian learned that the Heavenly Dragon Spear was a divine artifact and set out to earn Battle Merit by fighting on the Dragon Girl’s father’s front lines. After excessive slaughter exposed him to demonic energy, Li Yan treated him and sent him back to battle, where he discovered Nangong Wu and his other friends were on the opposing side.

• The Dragon Girl told Wang Xian that the city treasury held the items he wanted, but Li Yan explained that he needed Battle Merit to obtain them and gave him a heartblood-collecting bracelet.
• Wang Xian joined Li Yan at the front lines and slaughtered soldiers throughout the day, earning experience until he became level 54.
• Li Yan stopped Wang Xian after he became possessed by demonic energy, drew the energy from him, and ordered him to rest for two or three days.
• After resting, Wang Xian returned to the battlefield and spotted Nangong Wu, Su Jin, Cheng Yao, Xuan Ming, and his other friends among the opposing forces.
• Li Yan warned Wang Xian that there was no friendship on the battlefield, then led her soldiers in a charge against the opposing side.

Wang Xian gained experience and Battle Merit while the two armies fought, reaching Level 55 before Li Yan ordered him to stage a fight against Nangong Wu and their friends. After learning about four more Legendary Grade Heavenly Dragon equipment pieces, he began the mock battle by striking at Nangong Wu with alarming force.

• Li Yan read a letter from Her Highness and murmured that she might finally be free.
• Wang Xian and Nangong Wu's group killed enemy soldiers while avoiding each other, and Wang Xian managed his kills to prevent Possessed by Demonic Energy from taking hold for long.

• Li Yan ordered Wang Xian to fight Nangong Wu and the others in the clearing, and Nangong Wu told him they had found four Legendary Grade Heavenly Dragon equipment pieces in the royal city's treasury.
• Wang Xian and his friends agreed to stage a careful fight, but he sprang at Nangong Wu with a crushing spear strike, alarming Su Jin.

Wang Xian reached level 60 and awakened the Forbidden Grade talent Heavenly Emperor's Might, then returned to the city with Li Yan. He exchanged Battle Merit for new skills and legendary equipment, leaving the city treasury with 320,000 Battle Merit and a sense that something major was about to happen.

• Nangong Wu knocked Wang Xian back with her staff, and Su Jin and Cheng Yao joined their staged fight until Li Yan and a middle-aged man called them back to their camps.
• Li Yan told Wang Xian that his acting was worse than hers, then left him puzzled by saying the glowing object in the sky was not the moon.
• Half a month later, Wang Xian reached level 60 with 800,000 Battle Merit and awakened Heavenly Emperor's Might, a talent that increased damage and could boost the damage of those who recognized him.
• Li Yan invited Wang Xian to return to the city to see Her Highness, then hurried to the palace while he went to the city treasury.
• Wang Xian spent 480,000 Battle Merit on the second level of the Longevity Art, the Life and Death Together Skill Book, and two legendary Heavenly Dragon Series pieces of equipment, then searched for more items with the 320,000 Battle Merit he had left.

Wang Xian exchanged Battle Merit for equipment and skills, then agreed to help the Dragon Girl and her people kill Chen Qing, the being who destroyed the Heavenly Dragon Empire. As the Dragon Girl and the others sacrificed themselves to awaken the God Slaying Spear, Wang Xian was left to face the battle ahead.

• Wang Xian exchanged Battle Merit for a ring for Nangong Wu, two advanced skill books, and medicinal herbs, then learned the second layer of Longevity Art.
• The Dragon Girl asked Wang Xian to help kill Chen Qing, explaining that her father and people would weaken him until Wang Xian’s curse could finish him.
• The Dragon Girl brought Wang Xian and the others to the shattered starry sky, where they met her father and saw the enormous humanoid Chen Qing.
• Nangong Wu gave Wang Xian three pieces of Heavenly Dragon Equipment, and Wang Xian put the ring he had exchanged for onto her finger.
• The Dragon Girl and her people sacrificed themselves to awaken the God Slaying Spear, while Wang Xian realized his own Sacrificial Dance might offer another way to kill Chen Qing.
• Chen Qing unleashed his power against the glowing spear as the Dragon Girl told Wang Xian she would leave the rest to him.

Chen Qing suppressed the God Slaying Spear, but then became terrified at the sight of Wang Xian and the others and died before they could claim his experience or loot. Unable to reach Chen Qing's body before the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm collapsed, Wang Xian escaped with his companions and returned to the Immortal Palace base.

• Chen Qing subdued the God Slaying Spear, then saw Wang Xian and the others and died from fear.
• Wang Xian mourned losing Chen Qing's experience, then rushed toward his corpse hoping to claim loot and the God Slaying Spear.
• Wang Xian repeatedly tried to reach Chen Qing's corpse with Soaring Golden Light, but the distance never changed.
• A system prompt warned that the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm was collapsing, so Wang Xian gave up and used the Heavenly Dragon Token to leave.
• The Imperial Seal flew into the Heavenly Dragon Token, which transported Wang Xian, Nangong Wu, and the others back to the Immortal Palace's central plaza.

After returning from the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm, Wang Xian reunited with his mother and learned that a level 80 player had overtaken him on the World Level Ranking and that Rhode Fielding had obtained a sealed divine artifact. He left the chapter questioning how the world’s rankings and history had changed.

• Wang Xian returned to Central Square and noticed that its unfinished statue was carved in his likeness.
• Wang Xian invited Cheng Yao, Xuan Ming, and Xuan Yue to his mother’s home, and Su Jin joined them.

• Wang Xian checked the rankings and discovered that he had fallen to second place behind a level 80 player.
• Wang Xian examined The Twelve Movements of the Gods, learned Rhode Fielding owned it, and found that its traits, skill, and Mythical Attribute were sealed.

Wang Xian investigated why no Ghost Clan members had been seen and learned that those who transformed into the race had all disappeared. He suspected someone was behind it, while also questioning whether two demon emperors had deliberately allowed themselves to be trapped.

• Mom told Wang Xian that the top-ranked player could transform others into vampires, prompting him to recall that no Ghost Clan members had appeared since the Ghost Festival.
• Wang Xian asked Xuan Ming to search the Forum and contacted Qin Zheng, Nangong Wu, Shadow, Long Aotian, and others, but none had information about the Ghost Clan.
• Qin Zheng said he had begun an investigation and suggested Wang Xian ask Sword Twenty-Three, while also asking when Su Jin would come help establish his guild.
• Sword Twenty-Three told Wang Xian that the officials had learned Ghost Clan members once existed but had all disappeared, and that the higher-ups were angry about it.
• After Xuan Ming found only old videos and accounts, Wang Xian suspected someone was behind the disappearances and wondered whether the two demon emperors had willingly been trapped.

After dinner with his family and friends, Wang Xian checked the rewards from the Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm and discovered a Mythical quest to restore the Heavenly Dragon Empire. He completed the nine-piece Heavenly Dragon set, whose powerful attributes delighted him, and decided to show them to the people he trusted.

• Su Jin, Xuan Yue, and Mom served dinner, and the group ate together while Xuan Ming read an old book.
• Wang Xian checked his quest log and found the Mythical quest Past glory, which required him to find the sealed Imperial City and restore the Heavenly Dragon Empire.

• Su Jin, Xuan Yue, Mom, and Xuan Ming asked why Wang Xian was laughing, and he chose to show them his attributes.

Wang Xian rushed to the Imperial Capital after the imprisoned Demon Race emperors emerged and a system announcement introduced the Demon Race. He discovered that Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun had taken over two bodies, and the Human Emperor escorted Donghuang Taiyi away to talk.

• Nangong Wu told Wang Xian that Sword Twenty-Three urgently needed him in the Imperial Capital, so Wang Xian flew there despite warning everyone else to stay away.
• Wang Xian arrived as a system announcement named Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun as Demon Race instructors, then found them confronting hundreds of people underground.
• Sword Twenty-Three showed Wang Xian the emperors’ recorded attributes, and Wang Xian judged that fighting them could be dangerous because their skills were unknown.
• The old man arrived and approached the Demon Emperors, then Donghuang Taiyi confirmed that he and Di Jun had occupied the bodies of two clansmen and transformed them into members of the Demon Race.
• The old man invited Donghuang Taiyi elsewhere for a conversation, and the Demon Emperor agreed to go with him.

Donghuang Taiyi spoke with the Human Emperor, played a game with Wang Xian, and left with Di Jun to raise their strength. Wang Xian then spent the night drinking with Sword Twenty-Three and woke to a familiar voice scolding him.

• Donghuang Taiyi told the Human Emperor that he would explain why he had possessed Human bodies after the next game update.
