He returned with plundered resources and more than eighteen hundred Gray Dwarves, earning a Divinity Card, a Divine Domain Card, and five random Five-Star Cards.

• Lin Xiao confirmed that five Greater Nagas were carrying dragon-blooded young, then returned to his Divine Domain and forced Black Dragon Nigelram to submit and accept his mark.
• Lin Xiao’s forces besieged the Claw Dragonfolk’s city with trebuchets, breached its walls, and defeated the defenders after Nigelram joined the battle.

• Lin Xiao received one Divinity Card, one Divine Domain Card, and five randomly selected Five-Star Cards for completing the first stage.

Lin Xiao received the major-class first-place rewards and learned that five outstanding students would be chosen for the Myriad Manifestations opportunity. Jin Sisi then offered him her full support to reach the Prodigy Rankings in exchange for the higher Gaia Will privilege he could earn by staying on the rankings through university.

• Wen Yi, Gu Xiaoming, and Lin Xiao received their rewards in order, with Lin Xiao receiving first place’s share of the senior gifts.

• Jin Sisi offered Lin Xiao her full support in exchange for the higher Gaia Will privilege earned by remaining on the Prodigy Rankings through the College Entrance Examination and the Heavenly Pride Main Ranking through university.

Lin Xiao learned that the authority Jin Sisi offered could grant wishes within the rules, and Xia Yu advised him to accept in exchange for a chance at Jin Sisi’s powerful father’s favor. Lin Xiao agreed, then used his new arrangement with Jin Sisi to trade Plane Origin for thirty relic fragments rich in Creation Energy.

• The Class Teacher gave Lin Xiao one month to decide whether to accept her proposal, and he searched the campus network for information about the Prodigy Rankings authority.
• Shen Yuexin directed Lin Xiao to ask Xia Yu, who told him the authority could fulfill wishes within the rules and advised him to accept Jin Sisi’s offer.
• Xia Yu said Jin Sisi wanted the authority to save her father, a Greater Divine Power with Divinity Level nineteen, and warned Lin Xiao not to rely on Shen Yuexin or mistreat her.
• Lin Xiao accepted Jin Sisi’s proposal, and she offered him access to resources through permitted exchanges and rewards.
• Jin Sisi advised Lin Xiao to raise his Divinity Level to Level Four before the Midterm Exam and said his Plane Origin was insufficient to advance his Divine Domain.
• Lin Xiao exchanged eleven Gold Cards containing 1,100 units of Plane Origin for thirty relic fragments he selected for their Creation Energy.

Lin Xiao used the Creation Energy from thirty relic fragments to prepare to evolve the Greater Nagas, then investigated the Dragon Vein Naga bloodline inside the Creation Cube. His attempt to explore a Black Dragon’s origins triggered a dangerous presence, which he barely contained before the chapter ended.

• Lin Xiao dismantled thirty relic fragments and gained forty-one Creation Energy, bringing his total to fifty-one, then decided to focus on evolving the Greater Nagas.
• Lin Xiao inspected five young Dragon Vein Nagas and confirmed that they had inherited both the dragon bloodline and the Greater Nagas’ Super Armor talent.
• After the Dragon Vein Nagas matured, Lin Xiao selected three devout believers and used the Creation Cube to refine and analyze their bloodlines.
• Lin Xiao projected his consciousness into the dragon bloodline and experienced Nigelram’s memories back to the chaos inside a Black Dragon egg, where a terrifying will annihilated his consciousness.
• A dragon eye began forming from the Creation Cube, but Lin Xiao’s grandfather’s protective Jade Talisman and the Divine Palace’s defenses bought him time to stop it and draw the Cube into his hand.

Lin Xiao survived the Nine-Faced Dragon God's attack after the Creation Cube consumed much of his Creation Energy and fused his stored assets into a dragon bloodline blessed with the Power of Fate. He stripped out the Dragon Ancestor's influence and reshaped the remaining bloodline into a powerful new Dragon Vein Naga, while preserving the dragon race's core systems for future study.

• Lin Xiao discovered that the Creation Cube had lost thirty-four Creation Energy and fused everything stored inside it into a high-grade dragon bloodline containing the Power of Fate.
• Lin Xiao recognized the Nine-Faced Dragon God's blessing as a danger and used the Creation Cube to strip away the Dragon Ancestor's influence.
• Lin Xiao removed and stored Giant Dragon Bloodline Inheritance, Dragon Language Magic, and the dragon race's evolutionary system for later analysis.
• Lin Xiao condensed the remaining dragon and Naga bloodlines into a new Dragon Vein Naga, designed to reach Level 5 as an adult and potentially grow to Level 7.
• Lin Xiao reshaped the Dragon Vein Naga into a taller, heavily armored, four-legged creature with a dragon's head, horns, spines, and tail mace.

Lin Xiao transformed the Greater Nagas into the new Asura Naga species, strengthening their bloodlines while accepting the risks and losses of the process. After ten months, the transformation was complete, leaving the Divine Domain with a powerful dragon-descendant race poised for future growth.

• Lin Xiao named the newly created bloodline Asura Naga after removing its dragon-related powers and combining it with the Greater Nagas’ Super Armor.
• Lin Xiao ordered Slarda to divide the Greater Nagas into ten groups for gradual bloodline replacement and personally oversaw the first batch of about a thousand.
• During the first transformation, one Greater Naga exploded, and Lin Xiao spent divine power to stabilize the others as their Blood Cocoons matured.
• The cocoons opened, revealing the transformed Asura Nagas, and Slarda’s new form gave him greatly enhanced talents, abilities, and a powerful Essence Extraction aura.
• Lin Xiao continued the replacements over ten months, with Slarda leading later batches; a little over two hundred Greater Nagas died, and the population fell below ten thousand.
• The completed Asura Nagas had long lifespans, slow maturation, and formidable physical abilities, making them a powerful dragon-descendant species despite lacking dragon powers.

Lin Xiao benefited from the Asura Nagas’ surging Faith Power and trained them while trying to address their slow reproduction. After they drove Black Dragon Nigelram from his nest, he preserved the dragon and later contacted his Class Teacher, while an assembly of divine figures was underway at the Floating City’s central tower.

• The Asura Nagas’ evolution raised Lin Xiao’s daily Faith Power income to around 1.8 million, and he realized their growth might eventually trigger a qualitative transformation.
• Lin Xiao tried to recruit Yun Shaoning for a Kinfolk battle, but Yun Shaoning dismissed the idea and ended their call.
• Lin Xiao moved the church’s core into the transformed Heaven Divine Domain space, where Slarda led the construction of a holy land.
• Asura Nagas and Little Fishmen attacked Nigelram when he returned to his nest, and Lin Xiao used his authority to rewind the fight before Slarda stopped them.
• Lin Xiao opened the Ancient Arena daily and used Propagation every two days, raising Asura Naga births to around two hundred a year, but he still considered their reproduction too slow.
• Lin Xiao counted his cards and messaged his Class Teacher, while more than a dozen figures gathered to hear an obscured speaker in the central tower.

Jin Sisi secured two freely allocated Radiance slots for No. 2 High School and reaffirmed her choice to support Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao fused three Dwarf races into powerful Earth Dwarves, earned outstanding evaluations in all five major classes, and watched his growing forces establish a city and expand across his Divine Domain.

• Jin Sisi told Zhu Hong that she had chosen Lin Xiao to support, despite receiving only two freely allocated slots for No. 2 High School.
• Lin Xiao exchanged cards and used eight units of Creation Energy to fuse Black Iron and Golden Dwarf talents into the Gray Dwarves, creating the powerful Earth Dwarves.
• Lin Xiao excelled in the puppet and golem class, earning the fifth outstanding evaluation slot and joining Gu Xiaoming as the only student with top evaluations in every major class.
• After decades of growth, more than twenty thousand Earth Dwarves built a city, and Slarda presided over its ceremony as Lin Xiao granted a large-scale miracle.
• Lin Xiao's Asura Naga population surpassed twenty thousand, including more than 2,100 Sixth Order warriors and thirty-six Seventh Order knights.

Lin Xiao learned the rough standards for the Prodigy Rankings and realized that completing the fourth section of his True Name might be all he lacked. With the Midterm Exam approaching, Jin Sisi ordered him to reach the top ten of the Wind and Cloud Rankings first, and he began watching a challenge between Slaughter Tiger and an Elite Class One student.

• Nigelram became a Devout Believer of the God of Truth and Creation, providing more Faith Power than every Fanatic Believer except Slarda.
• Jin Sisi explained the five rough criteria for the Prodigy Rankings, and Lin Xiao realized he had met all but the requirement to condense at least the fourth section of his True Name.
• Lin Xiao suspected that modifying the Gray Dwarves had accelerated the formation of his True Name’s final section and hoped to complete it through the Midterm Exam.
• Jin Sisi told Lin Xiao to enter the top ten of the Wind and Cloud Rankings before the Midterm Exam, which would begin in one week.
• Lin Xiao paid to watch Slaughter Tiger challenge an Elite Class One student and saw Slaughter Tiger’s Drow Rangers faltering against a huge force of mutated Harpies wielding Chain Lightning.

Lin Xiao accepted Slaughter Tiger’s challenge and sent ten thousand Asura Naga to test their strength against Slaughter Tiger’s larger army. The Naga crossed a river toward the enemy, and the chapter ended as Slaughter Tiger’s Drow Rangers fired a volley into the forest.

• After Slaughter Tiger lost to Lin Xiao in their first battle, Lin Xiao reviewed the rankings and chose opponents as he aimed for first place.
• Slaughter Tiger challenged Lin Xiao, who accepted immediately, and both entered a vast virtual battlefield.
• Lin Xiao deployed ten thousand Asura Naga, while Slaughter Tiger projected Drow Rangers, Minotaurs, Mountain Dwarves, and Gnoll Light Infantry.
• The Asura Naga crossed a river and headed toward the sound of Slaughter Tiger’s horns, while Slaughter Tiger formed his troops for battle.
• Slaughter Tiger’s Drow Rangers fired a volley of arrows toward the forest as the approaching Asura Naga drew near.

Lin Xiao crushed Slaughter Tiger’s army of Minotaurs with his Asura Nagas, then challenged Li Xiushen from No. 1 High School. Li Xiushen prepared to test his newly developed Emerald Snake-Men against Lin Xiao.

• Lin Xiao’s Asura Nagas shrugged off Slaughter Tiger’s arrows and wiped out his Minotaur formations, forcing Slaughter Tiger to surrender.
• No. 1 High School students watched Lin Xiao’s victory and worried that he might threaten Dongfang Piaoxue’s standing.
• Yun Shaoning called Lin Xiao to ask whether he had intended to crush him in their earlier challenge, then ended the call after confirming they had no grudge.
• Lin Xiao challenged Li Xiushen, who accepted without watching his friend’s warning video and selected a portion of his Kinfolk for battle.
• Li Xiushen deployed his Emerald Snake-Men, including a hero and Priests with Petrification Ray, to test their combat strength against Lin Xiao.

Li Xiushen faced Lin Xiao’s forces in a challenge after his army was ambushed by a Black Dragon, then found himself overwhelmed by Lin Xiao’s powerful Kinfolk. As the Murloc Great Mage Arkens began gathering a devastating spell, Li Xiushen empowered himself and charged toward him.

• A Black Dragon attacked Li Xiushen’s army with Corrosive Dragon Breath, but Li Xiushen wounded it with his Crystal Staff and drove it away.
• Li Xiushen’s forces marched onward and met a vast army of Dragonkin, Little Fishmen, goblins, Gray Dwarves, and demi-humans, while spectators watched from outside the plane.
• Lin Xiao watched as his Kinfolk crushed Li Xiushen’s forces, with the Little Fishmen overrunning more than thirty thousand Lizardmen warriors in half an hour.
• Li Xiushen activated his Reflective Aura and sent his Three-Headed Snake Lizard rampaging into the Little Fishmen, but their huge numbers and strength blunted the attack.
• Arkens gathered Murloc Warlocks to form a powerful water-magic spell, prompting Li Xiushen to empower himself with a pendant and charge toward the Murloc Great Mage.

Lin Xiao defeated Li Xiushen in the Wind and Cloud Rankings, then spoke with Dongfang Piaoxue, who proposed that they cooperate during the Midterm Exam. Shen Yuexin explained that Myriad Manifestations was an ancient academy’s ruin guarded by a pantheon of six gods with Greater Divine Power.

• Arlement and the Wise Goblin Mages suppressed the Emerald Snakemen’s priests and unleashed a legendary Meteor Fire Rain that destroyed Li Xiushen’s army.
• Li Xiushen challenged Slarda, but Slarda killed his projected body with a single punch, ending the battle and raising Lin Xiao to thirteenth place.
• Dongfang Piaoxue contacted Lin Xiao, proposed that they peacefully face outsiders together during the Midterm Exam, and promised to concede in a future match.
• Shen Yuexin congratulated Lin Xiao, then explained that Myriad Manifestations was a ruined top academy whose remnants guarded an ancient ruin.

Shen Yuexin explained the Myriad Phenomena Ruins and their treasures to Lin Xiao, then Lin Xiao defeated Dongfang Piaoxue’s core Kinfolk and took first place on the Wind and Cloud Rankings. Jin Sisi learned of his victories and watched his battle against Li Xiushen.

• Shen Yuexin told Lin Xiao that students could enter only the outer areas of the Myriad Phenomena Ruins, where they could seek ordinary treasures and ninety-nine Myriad Phenomena treasures.
• Shen Yuexin explained that the Midterm Exam ruins involved multiple factions and had changing rules, which Lin Xiao would learn upon entering.
• Lin Xiao challenged Dongfang Piaoxue, and their core Kinfolk fought: Lin Xiao’s Asura Nagas overcame the Elves and Little Snow Sprites’ freezing attacks.
• Lin Xiao defeated Dongfang Piaoxue and rose to first place on the Wind and Cloud Rankings.
• At a meeting about No. 2 High School’s Midterm Exam slots, the principal told Jin Sisi that Lin Xiao had defeated Li Xiushen and Dongfang Piaoxue, and she watched his battle against Li Xiushen.

Lin Xiao allowed Class Teacher Jin Sisi to enter his Divine Domain, where her powerful avatar briefly disrupted his control before she suppressed her power and revealed her true appearance. She inspected his domains and watched a battle in the Ancient Arena, where Arkens's team struggled against a Seventh Order Asura Naga.

• Lin Xiao agreed to Jin Sisi's request to enter his Divine Domain despite the danger posed by her True God avatar.
• Jin Sisi's arrival briefly carved a domain out of Lin Xiao's senses, and she withdrew and restrained her power to limit the damage.
• Jin Sisi revealed her beautiful appearance and inspected Lin Xiao's Divine Domains, noting their size and stability and praising Flame Lord Colbert's potential.
• Jin Sisi observed Slarda caring for newborn Asura Naga, Nigelram pretending to sleep, and the activity in the Ancient Arena.
• Jin Sisi and Lin Xiao watched a thousand-versus-thousand arena battle, where Arkens's team fell behind the team led by a powerful Seventh Order Asura Naga.

Arkens awakened as an Epic Hero during the Ancient Arena battle, and Lin Xiao used divine power to raise him to Level Seven. Jin Sisi then recognized Lin Xiao’s exceptional potential and strength, told him to prepare for the Myriad Phenomena Ruins, and he agreed to meet Gu Xiaoming soon.

• Arkens unleashed a flood from the Water Elemental Divine Domain, swept the arena, and awakened as the Epic Hero Tide Lord.
• Lin Xiao granted Arkens the name Tide Lord and infused him with divine power, raising him to the limit of Level Seven.
• Jin Sisi told Lin Xiao that his potential and strength could put him in the Prodigy Rankings and said the Myriad Phenomena Ruins would begin in a week.
• Lin Xiao learned that participating students would be notified to gather in two days and that Jin Sisi would send him information about the ruins.
• Gu Xiaoming congratulated Lin Xiao on winning the Wind and Cloud Rankings and arranged to meet up with him in a few days.

Lin Xiao studied the Myriad Phenomena Ruins’ dangerous game-like rules and weighed True Body Descent against Avatar Descent before choosing to avoid the deadly risks of descending in his true body. After raising his Divinity to the Fourth Order, he joined the other students on their journey to the ruins, where he arrived aboard a Void Ship and sat beside Shen Yuexin and Little Aunt.

• Lin Xiao read Jin Sisi’s detailed briefing, which explained the ruins’ summoning-core rules, descent options, and the dangers of participants and their Kinfolk being killed.
• Lin Xiao considered True Body Descent for its powerful hero bonuses, but his Class Teacher’s survival statistics and reports of prodigy deaths dissuaded him.
• Lin Xiao traded his last two Mythic-quality Five-Star Cards to Jin Sisi for two Divinity points, then used the Creation Cube to refine them and reach twenty-one points of Divinity, including one point of Fourth Order Divinity.
• Lin Xiao received his Class Teacher’s message to prepare for the afternoon departure and projected with the other students to Yan Huang No. 2 Super Void Fortress.
• Lin Xiao found himself aboard a Void Ship, smiled at Shen Yuexin, and took her hand beneath the table until Little Aunt’s cold snort startled him and the hand disappeared.

Lin Xiao and the other students prepared to enter the Myriad Phenomena Ruins, where they would face fierce competition under public scrutiny. After receiving extra starting-option permissions from Xia Yu and Jin Sisi, Lin Xiao learned about the event’s betting and audience, and the group traveled toward the ruins’ collapsed Crystal Wall System.

• Xia Yu gave Lin Xiao one Crystal Card and gave Shen Yuexin more than a dozen cards that granted extra initial options in the Myriad Phenomena Ruins.
• Jin Sisi gave Lin Xiao six school permissions and warned that his performance would affect her evaluation and the resources available to them.
• Lin Xiao reunited with the other fourteen participants, and Dongfang Piaoxue and Li Xiushen urged the Radiance students to stand together against outsiders.
• Shen Yuexin and the other students explained that the event would be broadcast to billions and that participants’ families or friends could place bets on their rankings.
• The students traveled aboard a Void Warship toward the Myriad Phenomena Divine Hall, the route through which the Gravekeepers could admit them to the collapsed Crystal Wall System.

Lin Xiao and the others reached the collapsing Myriad Phenomena Ruins after a long voyage through the Chaotic Void. At the enormous temple, Xia Yu revealed that the Gravekeepers sought an inheritor, though even he had failed to become one.

• Lin Xiao and the others traveled aboard a Void Warship through the Chaotic Void, where time passed differently from the Main World.
• The warship entered a vortex and emerged in the shattered Myriad Phenomena Ruins, passing floating ruins, divine remnants, and enormous Deity corpses.
• The group crossed a Wall of Divine Fire and reached a colossal temple, where their warship landed on a patterned floor tile.
• Xia Yu told Shen Yuexin and Lin Xiao that the Crystal Wall System was nearing collapse and the six Gravekeepers wanted to find an inheritor.
• Xia Yu revealed that he had once been chosen as a candidate but had failed to become the final inheritor, and he urged Lin Xiao to focus on claiming a Myriad Phenomena Treasure.

Lin Xiao entered the Myriad Phenomena Ruins and learned about the universe’s remaining origin, the Gravekeepers, and the tournament’s treasure stakes. While waiting for the exam to begin, he contacted his mother, who was delighted he had been invited but underestimated his abilities.

• Xia Yu bet Lin Xiao fifty relic fragments against him breaking up with Shen Yuexin if he failed to seize a Myriad Phenomena Treasure, then offered greater rewards for a secret or divine treasure.
• Lin Xiao’s warship entered the temple, where Class Teacher Jin Sisi explained that the six Gravekeepers guarded the Myriad Phenomena Crystal Wall Universe’s remaining origin and warned students not to approach them.
• Jin Sisi told the students they had a day and a half before the Midterm Exam, and Lin Xiao stayed aboard after Shen Yuexin and Qi Si Yun left.
• Lin Xiao contacted his mother, Jin Yunzhu, who discovered he was participating in the Myriad Phenomena Ruins Tournament and encouraged him to work hard despite assuming he was only an ordinary recruit.
