Lin Xiao became Gaia's Child and gained permanent benefits along with the authority to study the Main World's Bottom-Layer Rules, a path toward becoming an ancient god. While surveying the rules, he discovered that his Crystal Wall System Origin Core shell could restore its former law network, and he prepared to inspect the remaining rules with new purpose.

• Lin Xiao returned to Huaxia Number Five Super War Fortress, where Gaia Will arrived to reward him for establishing a Gaia Node.
• Gaia Will awarded Lin Xiao ten thousand units of Crystal Wall Origin, confirmed his status as Gaia's Child, and granted him a permanent BUFF and access to Bottom-Layer Rules.
• Lin Xiao examined the Main World's network of ninety-nine Bottom-Layer Rules and found that the most powerful ones already had controllers.
• As Lin Xiao studied the rules, their residual traces reappeared in the Crystal Wall System Origin Core shell that held his soul.
• Lin Xiao injected Crystal Wall Origin into the restored traces, confirmed that it strengthened them, and returned his attention to the unclaimed Bottom-Layer Rules.

Lin Xiao reawakened the Bottom-Layer Law Network in his Crystal Wall Origin core and gained the Minor God Sealing Art, revealing a new path toward Great Divine Power. He chose the ancient god Divine Profession of Balance, which let him sense disruptions to balance throughout the Main World and continuously gain divine power and insights into its Law.

• Lin Xiao infused Crystal Wall Origin into the ninety-nine Bottom-Layer Laws, reawakening their network and forming the Transcendent Divinity authority called the Minor God Sealing Art.
• Lin Xiao realized that strengthening the network with Plane Origin or Crystal Wall Origin could eventually lead him toward Great Divine Power, and resolved to plunder foreign origins while continuing to grow.
• Lin Xiao chose Balance as his ancient god Divine Profession to conceal his new authority.
• Lin Xiao sensed that Balance let him detect disruptions anywhere in the Main World, continuously gain divine power, and develop insights into the Law of Balance.
• Lin Xiao recognized that his ancient god path could advance independently of his external Divine Profession, allowing the two paths to stack.

Lin Xiao received Gaia Will’s rewards, including a Balance Scale, permission to adjust one kinfolk species, and a future merit opportunity. After returning to Yan Huang No. 5 Super War Fortress, he learned his military promotion was still being debated, then returned to his Divine Domain and saw its vast fortress city under construction.

• Gaia Will granted Lin Xiao the Fourth Order top-tier Balance Scale, whose effects strengthened allied forces and weakened enemies according to battle conditions.
• Lin Xiao used his Species Adjustment Permission to have Gaia Will remove the Nine-Faced Dragon God’s imprints from two dragon power systems, planning to adjust the Greater Naga himself.
• Gaia Will gave Lin Xiao a promise of future merit for the Main World’s eventual conquest of the Totem Civilization, then sent him out of the Astral Realm.
• Xie Yufei told Lin Xiao he would receive a major military promotion for opening a Gaia Node, and he was assigned private barracks while the higher-ups debated his rank and position.
• Lin Xiao returned to his Divine Domain and saw a huge fortress city of one main city and eight Satellite Cities being built, along with Mage Towers and reinforced walls.

Lin Xiao dismantled the Giant Dragon Bloodline Inheritance and Dragon Language Magic systems to remove the Nine-Faced Dragon God's influence, then merged their core frameworks into the Greater Nagas. The race’s upper limit rose from the Seventh Order to the Ninth Order, though Lin Xiao still needed to devise a new bloodline power system for them.

• Lin Xiao inspected the Divine Domain's enormous Floating City project and considered asking Xie Yufei for help awakening his Astral Giant Ship.
• Lin Xiao used the Creation Cube to refine the Giant Dragon Bloodline Inheritance system and confirmed that the Nine-Faced Dragon God's will had been removed.
• Lin Xiao decided to strip out the dragon-specific hereditary systems and Dragon Language Magic, retaining the core frameworks to build a Legendary species system for the Greater Nagas.
• Lin Xiao considered merging the Greater Nagas' God Warrior class into a new Bloodline Power System, but postponed the decision because it seemed insufficient.
• Lin Xiao merged the refined frameworks into the Greater Nagas, quietly raising their racial upper limit from the Seventh Order to the Ninth Order.
• Some Greater Nagas training in the Ancient Arena discovered that their advancement paths had opened and advanced beyond their former limits.

After the Greater Nagas grew stronger but produced no Ninth Order Naga Great Lords, Lin Xiao returned to the fortress and chose to become Acting Warband Leader of the Raging Flame Warband, relying on Xie Yufei to manage its affairs. He received two medals at a small ceremony, where several generals noticed something unusual about him.

• Lin Xiao received a Dark Gold Special Class Merit Medal and a One-Star Gaia Medal at a ceremony attended by Xie Tianyan and fortress executives.
• Several generals sensed something unusual as Lin Xiao approached and asked Xie Tianyan whether he had noticed it too.

Lin Xiao received military and Gaia medals, learned that he needed to master his ancient god laws before leaving the fortress, and visited the Raging Flame Warband as its new leader. He gave up claiming his personal guard unit and Void Warship for now because he could not afford to support the guards.

• Xie Tianyan and the generals discussed Lin Xiao's newly mastered laws and his potential before Xie Tianyan awarded him a Demigod Artifact medal and a Gaia Medal.
• Xie Tianyan told Lin Xiao to wait about a month to master his ancient god laws, then advised him to visit the Heaven's Gate Club and try entering the Heaven's Gate.
• Xie Yufei led Lin Xiao to the Raging Flame Warband, where the officers reacted with surprise to his youth and Special Merit Medal but treated him with respect.
• Lin Xiao briefly met his new subordinates, deciding to take command only after he had become strong enough to win their genuine obedience.
• Xie Yufei explained that Lin Xiao's assigned guard unit included two True Gods and twenty demigods, but he could not afford to provide them Faith Power, so he left the unit and Void Warship unclaimed for now.

Lin Xiao reviewed the Raging Flame Warband and chose a special offer for his authority: a small Crystal Wall Universe with developing life and a nascent Crystal Wall Will. After a long transfer from Yan Huang No. 5 Fortress, he arrived at the universe and saw its blue, flame-wreathed sphere.

• Lin Xiao formally took up his post as Acting Warband Leader and learned that the Raging Flame Warband was a three-star expeditionary force.

• Commander Xie guided Lin Xiao through a breach in a Chaotic Storm to the young Crystal Wall Universe, where Lin Xiao saw its blue sphere and active life.

Lin Xiao toured a small Crystal Wall Universe and decided to devour it with the Creation Cube, while moving its inhabitants elsewhere and using its faith to help his parents ascend. After completing the trade for its authority and the Chaotic Mud Tablet, he spent five years taking control of the world and the mysterious big shot’s remaining forces.

• Lin Xiao toured the Main Plane and its seventeen other planes, learning about their inhabitants, magical technology, and the balance between humans and underground Insectoids.

• Lin Xiao called his mother on the way home, introduced Xie Yufei as his subordinate, and got into a scuffle with her after she challenged his wording.
• Lin Xiao and Xie Yufei arrived at Lin Family Fortress and learned from the security guard that something had happened in the family.

• Lin Xiao learned that the Zhang family had wagered B6 Plane against the Lin family’s C4, C5, and C11, and he was shocked that C5 was among them.

Lin Xiao traveled with his mother and Xie Yufei to the Lin Family’s C5 Plane, where his father faced a forced exchange of planes with the Zhang Family. The fortress commander learned that Lin Xiao was an Elite Senior Colonel and Acting Warband Leader despite being a demigod who had not yet started university.

• Lin Xiao told Jin Yunzhu he wanted to visit the family plane, and she warned him not to act rashly because his strength was insufficient.
• Lin Xiao, Jin Yunzhu, and Xie Yufei teleported to a fortress in the AX-14 Crystal Wall System, where Xie Yufei explained that the interior universe had a low-ranking garrison.
• Lin Xiao declined to meet the fortress garrison commander, and the three boarded a small civilian Void Ship arranged by the Lin Family office.
• After the ship departed and activated its jump engine, the fortress commander learned Lin Xiao’s identity, military rank, and appointment as Acting Warband Leader.

Lin Xiao traveled with Xie Yufei and his parents toward the Lin Family’s territory in the Hera Plane Cluster, learning about the Main World’s restrictions on advanced technology and the growing inequalities Divine Domain Sons faced. The Void Ship reached the Lin Family’s base on Plane B1, where Lin Xiao saw the bustling port and the family’s relocated Kinfolk.

• A fortress officer identified Lin Xiao as a member of the Lin Family and ordered benefits and patrol adjustments for the family while volunteering to witness its wager with the Zhang Family.
• During the voyage, Xie Yufei explained that the Main World prohibited ordinary people from freely learning or teaching advanced technologies such as Mage Towers and Floating Cities.
• Lin Xiao learned that his military rank exempted him from the restrictions and allowed him to teach limited advanced knowledge to subordinates and relatives.
• After nearly half a year, the Void Ship entered the Hera Plane Cluster, and Jin Yunzhu showed Lin Xiao the Lin and Zhang Families’ territories and the Dwarves and Half-Dwarves living on their plane.
• The Void Ship docked at the Lin Family’s external port on Plane B1, where Lin Xiao saw Kinfolk descendants from many races living and working.

Lin Xiao reunited with his father and learned that the Lin Clan faced a difficult five-battle wager against the Zhang Family, while his arrival brought the possibility of help from the garrison. He later met Lin Xu and Shi Ke, whose marriage offer raised the question of how they would secure support for their futures, as Lin Xiao considered plans to sustain his Divine Domain.

• Lin Xiao drank with Lin Haolin, who explained that a hidden Zhang Family fighter had upset the balance of the wager and put the Lin Clan at risk.
• Lin Xiao asked whether the notary could be influenced, and Xie Yufei told him the Seventh Task Force would soon come to pay respects to their superior.
• Lin Xiao visited the family elders and learned that he and Lin Xu were considered candidates to succeed Grandfather as clan head, though neither seemed interested in the position.
• Lin Xu returned with Shi Ke, then told Lin Xiao that her powerful family had offered to devote its resources to him if he married into it.
• Lin Xiao reflected on his own resource needs and planned to move the smaller planes' populations to the central Main Plane, turning the other planes into farms and ranches.

Lin Xiao reflected on his growth as an ancient god before joining his family at a battlefield where the Lin and Zhang families prepared for their wager. A provocative side bet between Lin Xu and Zhang Taihua escalated, leaving Lin Xiao worried that Zhang Taihua had lured Lin Xu into a trap.

• Lin Xiao considered how the Balance Ancient Godhood and his Crystal Wall Origin core could keep growing, and discussed Lin Xu's difficulty persuading his father to approve his marriage plans.
• Lin Xiao and his family gathered with the Zhang Family on a Floating City to await the Seventh Task Force, which was to witness their wager.
• A Zhang Family junior provoked Lin Xuan into starting an additional wager, and thirteen Zhang juniors joined in.
• Zhang Taihua wagered against Lin Xu after making a provocative gesture toward Shi Ke, and the stakes rose to twenty-five points of Divinity, one hundred thousand divine power, and thirteen Five-Star Cards of mythic quality.
• Lin Xu accepted Zhang Taihua's challenge, while Lin Xiao suspected Zhang Taihua had come prepared and feared Lin Xu might lose.

Lin Xu accepted a wagered battle against a veteran demigod, and Lin Xiao joined the juniors in a chaotic melee on the Floating City's virtual network. The battle began with Lin Xiao deploying his force in the Hera Plane, where his parents saw his massive Greater Naga army in Night Song Forest.

• Lin Xu assured Lin Xiao that he was confident in the wager after receiving a gift from Ke'er's parents.
• The two families gathered at their shared Floating City and opened its local virtual network for the juniors' challenge.
• Lin Qinghai explained that the additional wagered battle was a team melee, and Lin Xiao entered the vortex with the others.

• Lin Xiao deployed his force at the eastern edge of the blue territory opposite Zhang Bin, while the twenty-eight juniors prepared to fight.
• Jin Yunzhu and Lin Haolin watched Lin Xiao's army appear in Night Song Forest and saw its enormous Greater Naga troops.

Lin Xiao’s forces stormed a fortress and routed Zhang Clan troops as they advanced across the Hera Plane. He reached the central battlefield, where Zhang Taihua and Lin Xu were dueling, and claimed his hidden troops were not meant to ambush anyone.

• Lin Xiao’s army reached a gorge fortress held by Snake-Men and Lizardmen, where Zhang Bin saw the approaching Greater Nagas and panicked.
• Ten Greater Naga Lords smashed through the fortress wall, and one demonstrated the destructive Chaos Roar skill as the defenders were overwhelmed.
• Zhang Bin abandoned the fortress and fled; Lin Xiao followed his forces, then defeated Zhang Bin and more than ten other Zhang Clan members.
• Lin Xiao arrived beneath the Floating City, where Zhang Taihua and Lin Xu were fighting their arranged duel, and Zhang Taihua retreated after learning the Zhang Clan forces had been routed.
• Lin Xiao told Zhang Taihua he was only watching, but Zhang Taihua spotted Naga units maneuvering behind him, prompting Lin Xiao to claim they had gotten lost.

Lin Xiao and Lin Xu defeated Zhang Taihua’s forces in the restricted wager, but the Zhang Clan Chief then proposed a match that Grandfather suspected was meant to become a life-and-death battle. As the Zhang Family’s provocation went unanswered, the Seventh Task Force arrived to arbitrate the wager.

• Lin Xiao and Lin Xu joined forces against Zhang Taihua, whose Dragon-Snake People were routed by their armies and Lin Xu’s Moon Elves.
• Zhang Taihua surrendered, and the system declared the Lin Family’s side victorious after the remaining Zhang Family forces withdrew or were destroyed.
• The Lin Family youths collected their spoils, while Zhang Taihua challenged Lin Xiao to fight in the later unrestricted wager.
• The Zhang Clan Chief offered to match Zhang Taihua against Lin Xiao, but Grandfather suspected the Zhang Family planned to turn the duel into a real life-and-death battle and refused.
• Zhang Taihua taunted Lin Xiao with a gesture, and the Seventh Task Force arrived in an enormous Military Void Warship.
