Chapter Summaries

Yang Yu confronted a Mutated God Devourer in a compressed hidden passage and revealed that its Repulsion Field treated him as an ally. He tore the beast apart with his bare hands, absorbed its tissue fluid, and swallowed its Origin Core, leaving his companions stunned.

• Tie Tu and the other Wanderers discovered a Mutated God Devourer blocking their route and prepared to spend their treasured Origin Dharma Treasures to break through its Repulsion Field.
• Yang Yu stepped forward and entered the Repulsion Field, which failed to suppress him because the Abyss Universe’s Bottom Layer Code identified him as one of its own.
• Yang Yu seized the God Devourer’s cross-shaped cleft and tore the three-hundred-zhang creature into two halves with his bare hands.
• Yang Yu absorbed the beast’s High-Dimensional Origin from its tissue fluid and dug its Origin Core out of its chest.
• Yang Yu bit through the Origin Core and swallowed it whole while Tie Tu, Canaan, and the other Wanderers watched in shock.

Yang Yu consumed a Mutated God Devourer’s Origin Core and left the Wanderers terrified as he led them onward through the passage. He began absorbing the True God Jin’s lingering foundation from the walls while using his extraordinary comprehension to study the True God’s rules.

• Yang Yu swallowed the God Devourer’s Origin Core and shared its High-Dimensional Origin through the Abyss’s subsystem network, increasing his Second Step foundation by thirty percent.
• Yang Yu asked Tie Tu whether more creatures lay ahead, and Tie Tu said the God Devourer had been the route’s only patrol creature.
• Yang Yu continued leading the six Wanderers, who kept a thousand meters behind him after watching him consume the God Devourer.
• Yang Yu touched the passage walls and absorbed their remaining True God Pressure while studying their High-Dimensional Law Patterns.
• Canaan realized Yang Yu was draining the True God’s corpse, while Yang Yu’s two-hundredfold Comprehension Talent processed the rules without rejection.

Yang Yu drew True God Blood Veins from God Jin’s Divine Body, strengthening the Abyss and convincing the Wanderers that he had a profound connection to Jin. After an ancient tablet identified him as a Primordial Offspring, he learned the Shepherd’s next harvest was due soon and decided to stay and use the Divine Body’s Purge Sequence.

• Yang Yu touched the True God Cortex, which responded to him, and the God of All Machines analyzed its remnants for barrier designs, patrol code, and a self-healing command.
• Yang Yu extracted a True God Blood Vein and absorbed it into the Abyss, improving the Abyss Shell’s self-healing and resistance to disintegration.
• Yang Yu continued collecting Blood Veins as Canaan and the others speculated that he might be God Jin’s revival plan, vessel, or awakened successor.
• Yang Yu touched an ancient identification tablet despite warnings, and it granted him Blood Vein Permissions after confirming him as a Primordial Offspring.
• Yang Yu asked when the Shepherd would next harvest the Divine Body, learned it might happen within days, and chose to stay and use the Purge Sequence against the Shepherd’s operation.

Yang Yu activated Jin’s Purge Sequence against the Shepherd’s World-Devouring Beetles and uncovered how outsiders had secretly harvested the True God Wound for tens of millions of Eras. The Shepherd manifested a hand through a Bone Portal, but Yang Yu prepared to unleash the True God’s Immune System against it.

• Tie Tu, Canaan, and the other Wanderers urged Yang Yu to retreat rather than confront the Shepherd, but Yang Yu decided to force the hidden enemy into making a mistake.
• Yang Yu used the Identification Tablet to awaken Jin’s Blood Veins and activate its White Repulsion Pulse as a Clearing Insect Tide approached.
• Yang Yu destroyed the Shepherd’s warning and extracted images revealing that Bone-Cloaked outsiders had cultivated the wound and harvested World-Devouring Beetles from it for tens of millions of Eras.
• The Shepherd’s Bone Bell appeared, and a Bone Portal opened as the Shepherd sent a withered hand through it; the Wanderers recognized the projection’s immense power.
• Yang Yu activated the Purge Program, intending to pit the True God’s entire Immune System against the Shepherd.

Yang Yu activated the True God Purge Sequence and reported the Shepherd for stealing from Jin’s body, summoning Zangzhou to judge the intruder. Zangzhou severed the Shepherd’s projection and its causal link, while Yang Yu and the others remained inside the passage.

• Yang Yu activated the Identification Tablet’s Purge Program and refused the Shepherd’s demand to stop.
• The Shepherd crushed the World-Devouring Beetles to erase evidence, but Yang Yu added a report accusing him of destroying evidence.
• The Purge Sequence confirmed the Shepherd’s crimes, awakened the True God’s immune response, and summoned Zangzhou, a Fourth Step Royal Immune Beast.
• Yang Yu pinned the Bone Portal open and presented the Shepherd’s breeding records and blood-theft evidence to Zangzhou.
• Zangzhou judged the Shepherd and severed the Bone Portal and withered hand, then reduced the hand to ash.

Zangzhou’s Single Eye scanned Yang Yu but confirmed him as an authorized God Devourer Sub-sequence and effective ally rather than a foreign threat. It gave him supplies and ordered him to continue investigating the Rancher.

• Zangzhou’s White Rings scanned Yang Yu and identified his God Devourer Sub-sequence, abnormal evolution, and Chaos compatibility.
• Zangzhou detected traces of royal supplies and confirmed Yang Yu’s Primordial Offspring identity and authorization.
• Zangzhou judged Yang Yu’s actions effective after he awakened the local Purge Program.
• Yang Yu asked about reimbursement, and Zangzhou gave him a Black and White Chip to strengthen the God Devourer Sub-sequence and continue investigating the Rancher.

Yang Yu transformed Zangzhou's Black and White Chip into the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange, opening a trading platform with transaction guarantees and fees. He recruited six Wanderers to attract external traders and gather intelligence on Shepherd's fencing network, leaving Tie Tu eager to promote the Exchange.

• Yang Yu learned that the Chip granted him root-level ownership of a trading venue in Jin Pseudo-Hongmeng Region and connected it to the Abyss system.
• Yang Yu launched the Hongmeng Exchange for Abyss Players, set transaction fees, and enforced its rules against fraud and fee evasion.
• Yang Yu recruited Canaan and the other five Wanderers as the Exchange's first external users and learned how Black Markets charged for trades.
• Yang Yu posted bounties for information on Shepherd, Black Market locations, and new traders, then gave the Wanderers temporary promoter credentials.
• Tie Tu accepted the referral-rebate offer and pledged to spread word of the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange to nearby Wanderer hideouts within three days.

Tie Tu used Zangzhou’s Promotion Seal to open the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange to the Dark River Black Market, where Wanderers and Abyss Players rapidly began trading valuable goods. As Yang Yu watched the platform’s reach and profits grow, the God of All Machines detected a bulk listing of forged high-tier Order-Breaking Law Fragments.

• Tie Tu showed Zangzhou’s Promotion Seal at the Dark River Black Market, forcing its guards and Ya Jiu to kneel before him.
• Tie Tu introduced the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange, and Ya Jiu and hundreds of other Wanderers registered after seeing its low fees and trade guarantees.
• The first Wanderers entered the enormous Trading Hall, where they discovered billions of Abyss Players and found buyers for goods the Black Market had undervalued.
• Ya Jiu listed a Black Bone Coin, learned it was linked to the Shepherd, and submitted it to the platform for a reward and future profit sharing.
• Yang Yu saw external users and transaction revenue surge as Tie Tu recruited more Wanderers through referral rebates.
• The God of All Machines warned Yang Yu that a user was submitting suspected forged Order-Breaking Law Fragments in bulk.

Yang Yu exposed a Shepherd scheme to sell contaminated fakes through the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange and led a raid on its underground outpost beneath the Dark River Black Market. The recovered ledger revealed that the Shepherd had long tracked Yang Yu as a Primordial Offspring, and an invitation summoned him to a bone auction in three days.

• The God of All Machines identified the black-cloaked sellers’ fake Law Fragments and Causal Parasitic Hooks, and Yang Yu let them list the goods so the Exchange could catch them in the act.
• The Exchange seized the counterfeit goods, froze the sellers’ Origin, and traced their Causality to a Shepherd outpost beneath the Dark River Black Market.
• Yang Yu issued a server-wide wanted order, and Abyss Players stormed the outpost, rescued sealed Wanderers, defeated the black-clad guards, and captured their ledger.
• Yang Yu found ledger entries linking the Shepherd’s fencing chain to Polyhedron Old Network, Black Ark, and Edge of Daylight.
• The ledger’s encrypted pages identified Yang Yu as a Primordial Offspring and suspected Jin resuscitation vessel, labeling him “Key Pastoral Care.”
• The God of All Machines uncovered an invitation to a bone auction at the End of Dark River in three days, with a lot described as what the Primordial Offspring needed most.

Yang Yu turned the Shepherd's Bone Auction trap into a campaign to expose the Bones Ranch and draw its customers and resources into the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange. As the Exchange's growth poured Origin into the Abyss, Yang Yu reached the threshold of the Third Step Dharma Aspect Realm.

• Little White crushed the Bone Invitation, and Yang Yu burned it before ordering the God of All Machines to post a high-risk bounty for information about the Bone Auction.
• Transcendent Wanderers flooded the Exchange, trading valuable goods as Yang Yu refined the resulting Origin and strengthened the Abyss.
• Yang Yu restrained a Shepherd spy, displayed the Shepherds' trafficking records, and offered rewards for evidence, outpost locations, and information about core members.
• Yang Yu refused to attend the Bone Auction and sent the spy back to the End of Dark River with a message that he would take the Shepherds' clients, supply, and lives.
• Wanderers submitted clues and goods in a surge that overwhelmed the Exchange's capacity, while Yang Yu's Dharma Aspect began to take shape at the Third Step threshold.

Ya Jiu submitted a Shepherd-linked Bone Coin to the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange and chose to side with its new rules despite the Bone Ranch blacklist. As Yang Yu broke through to the Third Step while the Exchange gathered Origin and clues against the Shepherd, he completed his breakthrough and extended the Abyss Exchange’s influence across the surrounding territory.

• Ya Jiu submitted the Old Bone Coin as proof of the Shepherd's stolen-goods trade, received clean Origin, and learned that thirty-seven Dark Stalls had begun using the Exchange.
• After the Bone Auction threatened to blacklist Exchange users, Ya Jiu refused to withdraw and explained that the Trading Hall’s hidden location and backing made it difficult for the Shepherd to attack directly.
• The God of All Machines announced Yang Yu’s breakthrough, and Yang Yu gathered the Exchange’s Origin into a vast Dharma Aspect embodying the Abyss and its inhabitants.
• A disguised Bones Ranch spy tried to assess Yang Yu’s strength and considered provoking a disturbance, but the God of All Machines detected him and Yang Yu ordered it to keep watching.
• The Exchange’s leaderboard showed Yang Yu’s breakthrough and investigation progressing together, while Canaan warned that the Shepherd would likely act within three days.
• Yang Yu completed his Third Step breakthrough and extended gray-gold seals across the Trading Hall, Dark River Black Market, Wound Zone Blood Vein, and other areas touched by the Abyss Mark.

Chi Kui challenged Yang Yu and the Abyss Exchange, egged on by the Bronze Armored Cultivator’s promise of the Root Authority Chip and its riches. Yang Yu lifted the system’s restrictions and faced Chi Kui himself, leaving the hall on the brink of a duel.

• Chi Kui entered the Trading Hall, unleashed his murderous aura, and denounced Yang Yu’s authority and the Exchange’s rules.
• The Bronze Armored Cultivator secretly urged Chi Kui to seize the Root Authority Chip and claim the Exchange’s resources.
• Chi Kui wrecked a stall, ignored the system’s warning, and challenged Yang Yu to fight for the Chip and control of the Exchange.
• Yang Yu stopped his allies from intervening and ordered Wanji to remove every system restriction targeting Chi Kui.
• Yang Yu descended into the hall, drew the Sword of Dark Judgment, and invited Chi Kui to fight him without the system.

Yang Yu faced Chi Kui in a sealed battlefield and used the Abyss Exchange’s vast Origin reserves to overwhelm him with countless Swords of Dark Judgment. Chi Kui revealed his Blood Fiend Hundred Tribulation Aspect, and Yang Yu answered by summoning the Grey-Gold Giant Shadow behind him.

• Yang Yu opened a ruined Old Universe as a separate battlefield, and Chi Kui charged inside while Wanderers watched from the Trading Hall.
• Yang Yu filled the battlefield with hundreds of millions of Swords of Dark Judgment, using the Exchange’s accumulated Origin to attack Chi Kui.
• Chi Kui’s Blood Fiend Armor and Giant Blade cracked under the Sword Rain, forcing him to reveal his Blood Fiend Hundred Tribulation Aspect.
• Chi Kui’s Dharma Aspect slowed and corroded the incoming swords as he recovered and challenged Yang Yu to face his power.
• Yang Yu remained calm and summoned the Grey-Gold Giant Shadow behind him.

Yang Yu revealed the Abyss’s collective Dharma Aspect and used the Exchange’s records to expose Chi Kui’s crimes and his ties to Bones Ranch. As the dead civilizations’ names appeared across the battlefield, Yang Yu activated Abyss Judgment against Chi Kui.

• Chi Kui restored his body with the Blood Fiend Hundred Tribulation Aspect, while Wanderers discussed how difficult it was to kill him.
• Yang Yu revealed a Grey-Gold Dharma Aspect containing the Abyss and its inhabitants, then identified it as the Abyss’s Dharma Aspect.
• Chi Kui attacked with Blood Fiend Calamity Stars, but Abyss Players overwhelmed them and the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker absorbed the pollution as kitchen waste.
• Yang Yu condemned Chi Kui for slaughtering and exploiting civilizations, then asked Wanji to display Chi Kui’s records linking him to Bones Ranch and the Shepherd’s pollution experiments.
• Yang Yu revealed the names of the dead from Chi Kui’s three massacred universes and activated Abyss Judgment.

Yang Yu defeated Chi Kui by turning the Remnant Souls he had refined against him, then exposed a Bones Ranch scout and evidence that Chi Kui had been used as an experimental blade. The Abyss Exchange opened cases against the Old Era and offered rewards for leads on the Shepherd, as the old Order began to crack.

• Yang Yu called on the Remnant Souls inside Chi Kui’s Blood Fiend Hundred Tribulation Aspect to shine their names, and their power shattered the aspect and defeated Chi Kui.
• Yang Yu revealed that the Exchange’s hidden coordinates made it extremely difficult for Black Ark and Bones Ranch to find him.
• The God of All Machines exposed the Bronze Armored Cultivator as a Bones Ranch scout who had incited Chi Kui and baited him with the Root Authority Chip.
• Chi Kui and the Bronze Armored Cultivator fought after the scout admitted that Bones Ranch had used Chi Kui as a test subject and blade.
• Yang Yu archived evidence that Bones Ranch had used three universes as test fields and announced rewards for information about the Shepherd and claims against the Ranch.
• Wanderers praised the Abyss Exchange’s rules, and Ya Jiu sensed that the old Order of the Pseudo-Hongmeng Wound Zone had begun to crack.

Chi Kui turned against the Pasture and became a probationary Abyss employee, while Yang Yu extracted evidence linking Bones Ranch to Polyhedron. Yang Yu kept the treaty secret and launched a purification service that began drawing in the Wound Zone’s contaminated resources.

• Chi Kui accepted Yang Yu’s offer to work against the Pasture, but Yang Yu stopped him from killing the Bronze Armored Cultivator so he could preserve him as evidence.
• Yang Yu placed Chi Kui on probation and deducted his wages for a hundred thousand eras to repay his damages; the Trading Hall’s exposed Pasture bosses began confessing their crimes.
• Yang Yu processed the Bronze Armored Cultivator’s remains and recovered an Ancient Pact revealing that Bones Ranch served Polyhedron by collecting True God remnants for transfer to a Polyhedron Transit Nest.
• Yang Yu concealed the treaty to avoid exposing the Abyss to a Polyhedron response and instructed Wanji to cut off the Pasture’s income instead of attacking it directly.
• Yang Yu launched Abyss Cloud Purified Water at a thirty-percent service fee, and Ya Jiu’s contaminated bone ore was purified in six breaths, prompting Wanderers to crowd the service window.

Bones Ranch collapsed as Yang Yu’s Abyss Exchange drew away its customers, workers, and commanders, and Abyss forces took over its stronghold. When Li Qingcang opened the supposed treasury, he found a recently used Polyhedron teleportation array instead of the Pasture’s accumulated wealth.

• Daoist Withered Bone reported that Bones Ranch had lost most of its customers, and Commander Black Nether’s attack on the Abyss Exchange failed against a defensive belt made from Zangzhou’s waste matter.
• Yang Yu reviewed the Abyss’s growth while Chi Kui recruited Bones Ranch workers through paid errands, daily check-ins, and the promise of permanent jobs.
• Great Elder Gu Xiao emerged from seclusion, learned that Bones Ranch had been stripped of its resources and staff, and ordered the Ten Thousand Bone Death-Kill Array activated.
• Bones Ranch employees accepted Abyss Exchange rewards and shut down the Array, then joined forces to resist Gu Xiao as Li Qingcang led a million Abyss Players into the stronghold.
• Daoist Withered Bone and Hei Ming stabbed Gu Xiao and offered their services to Li Qingcang, who then opened the central treasury and found a recently used Polyhedron teleportation array.

After discovering that the Polyhedron Council of Elders had emptied Bones Ranch’s core reserves, Yang Yu split off half his Origin to create a clone that would keep the Abyss Exchange operating as a decoy. He led his inner circle out of the Pseudo-Hongmeng Wound Zone aboard a stealth ship, which entered an endless pale void beyond the True God’s barrier.

• Li Qingcang and the Blue Star executives found a Hexagram Teleportation Array in Bones Ranch’s vault and learned that the Polyhedron Council of Elders had transferred its core reserves away.
• Yang Yu decided to keep the Exchange running and conceal his true location while investigating the greater powers beyond the Wound Zone.
• Yang Yu tore half his Chaos Origin from his Dharma Aspect Core and made a clone to run the Exchange and draw the Polyhedron’s attention.
• Yang Yu gathered his inner circle and purest resource reserves, then prepared a hidden Micro Jump Ship to leave the Wound Zone.
• Yang Yu and his companions departed without alerting Zangzhou, Polyhedron, or the Wanderers, and crossed the True God’s barrier.
• The ship emerged into an endless pale void with no stars, universes, or Chaos Sea.

Yang Yu and the Abyss Core team entered True Hongmeng, where existence could be erased without a trace and even a newborn universe lasted only a few breaths. Despite warnings and his incomplete Origin, Yang Yu stepped outside the ship and anchored himself by declaring his own existence, establishing a small foothold in the Pale Void.

• Little White, Lucifer, Xilan, and the others discovered that Hongmeng erased perception, Laws, and possible futures, while God of All Machines warned that beings could be judged never to have existed.
• The team watched a newborn universe form and vanish within 3.7 breaths, and Moro explained that even Transcendents could only endure Hongmeng briefly without protection.
• Yang Yu told the team to remain aboard the ship and prepared to probe Hongmeng alone, despite Little White and Yang Yan warning him about his weakened state.
• Yang Yu stepped beyond the hatch, where Hongmeng began stripping away his identity and existence as the team watched in alarm.
• Yang Yu collapsed his True Spirit, Dharma Aspect, Abyss Mark, and Chaos Body into an anchor, declared that he defined himself, and established a small stable radius in Hongmeng.

Yang Yu sent everyone and the Micro Jump Ship into the Core Layer of his Abyss before venturing alone into the Pale Hongmeng, where he anchored a path with fragments of his Abyss Body. After a strange ancient presence seemed to notice him and a tide of worlds damaged his body, he compressed himself and the Abyss Universe into a particle—but a gigantic fish swallowed them all.

• Yang Yu moved everyone, the Micro Jump Ship, and the God of All Machines into the Abyss Core Layer, then entered the Pale Hongmeng alone.
• Yang Yu planted Gray-Gold Anchor Points made from fragments of his Abyss Body to mark his path through Hongmeng.
• Yang Yu felt an ancient gaze pass through his Abyss and asked Moro whether Eternal True God Jin could see beyond Hongmeng.
• A tide of worlds being born and destroyed erased the Anchor Points and damaged Yang Yu's shoulder, so he compressed himself and the Abyss Universe into a particle.
• A boundaryless Hongmeng Giant Fish opened its mouth, changed the tide's direction, and swallowed Yang Yu and everyone inside the Abyss.
