Chapter Summaries

Yang Yu and the Abyss crew were swallowed by the Hongmeng Giant Fish and fell through a lightless passage, where Yang Yu discovered he could still connect causally to his clones and use them as a possible escape route. The fish delivered them to a plaza before a vast bronze gate, where five powerful figures recognized Yang Yu as the last one Jin had sent.

• The Abyss crew found that the darkness inside the Hongmeng Giant Fish erased time, direction, and outside signals without harming them.
• Yang Yu connected to his Abyss Clone in the Old War Zone and his Chaos Clone at the Wound Zone Exchange, confirming he could use causality to escape or recover his allies.
• The God of All Machines detected light ahead as the passage restored spatial and temporal reference points.
• The Abyss crew emerged onto a plaza of solidified laws before a half-open bronze gate, and Moro recognized it from the Council of Elders' archives.
• Five humanoid figures turned toward Yang Yu, and their leader said Jin had finally sent the last one over.

Yang Yu reached Jin’s Bronze Gate and joined five ancient Trial participants, who revealed that Jin might still be alive and that the Trial could lead to the path beyond the Fourth Step. The gate opened onto a battlefield resembling a fragment of the Old God War, where a beating heart on a Headless Giant Shadow’s throne turned toward Yang Yu.

• Yang Yu emerged onto the Crystal Plaza, and the five participants identified him as the last person Jin had acknowledged after measuring his age and power.
• Huang Yan, Zhi Xing, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Bai E explained how Jin’s fish had brought Yang Yu to the gate and described the realms beyond the Fourth Step.
• Yang Yu questioned whether Jin’s Trial would provoke the Great Existence that had defeated Jin, and Zhi Xing argued that Jin might not truly be dead.
• The Bronze Gate opened after the six participants gathered, revealing an ancient battlefield and a Headless Giant Shadow holding a beating gray-gold heart.
• The heart turned toward Yang Yu as the Primordial Mark between his brows grew hot.

Yang Yu entered the True God Trial’s Inverted Battlefield and routed its Death Qi and ancient remnants through the Abyss, turning the danger into a server-wide cleanup event. As Players and Wanderers battled for rewards, the battlefield began reviving its deep-layer corpses, and Yang Yu prepared to take on the whole graveyard.

• Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, Bai E, Huang Yan, and Zhi Xing entered the Inverted Battlefield and resisted its reversed rules and deadly remnants.
• Yang Yu entered without shielding himself and opened his Abyss Body to devour the battlefield’s Death Qi and remnant thoughts, redirecting the pollution through the Abyss Hongmeng Exchange.
• Yang Yu’s Clone launched the True God Old Battlefield Cleanup Plan, sending Players and Wanderers into the battlefield to kill remnants for rewards and funnel energy back to Yang Yu.
• Yang Yu’s aura and Abyss Origin recovered as Huang Yan and the others recognized that he was using the entire civilization to share the burden and consume the battlefield.
• Huang Yan helped lure more monsters, and the Players joined the escalating event as the battlefield’s death energy flowed into Yang Yu.
• The God of All Machines detected deep-layer corpses reviving in response to Yang Yu’s extraction, and Yang Yu announced the next phase while ordering the others to keep pulling monsters.

A Fifth Step Path-Severing skeleton overwhelmed the five Order-Breaking experts, while Yang Yu endured its second punch by channeling the force into the Abyss and the Player Activity Zone. With the Bronze Gate gone and the battlefield sealed, Yang Yu prepared to combine the five experts’ power through the Abyss Core to face the skeleton’s next attack.

• The skeleton awakened and killed Zhi Xing, Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Bai E, and Gu Shan with one punch, though they later reconstructed their bodies at the cost of Origin.
• Yang Yu used the Sword of Judgment and his Abyss Rift to withstand the skeleton’s second punch, diverting part of its force into the Activity Zone and killing two million Players there.
• The five experts realized the skeleton was a Fifth Step Path-Severing guardian and discovered the Bronze Gate had vanished, leaving no way forward or back except to defeat it.
• Huang Yan proposed that the five experts enter Yang Yu’s Abyss and combine their strength, and Zhi Xing, Gu Shan, Xuan Jiu, and Bai E agreed.
• As the skeleton launched another punch, Yang Yu opened the Abyss Core gates and activated a temporary collaborative combat protocol to connect the five experts to the Abyss.

Huang Yan, Zhi Xing, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Bai E arrived in the Abyss and were forcibly made temporary employees whose monster-killing would help Yang Yu withstand a Fifth Step attack. Yang Yu forged their power and the Abyss's strength into a sword, stopped the monster's fist, and wounded its bone, but the battle remained underway.

• The Abyss System assigned the five newcomers player marks and imposed fees, work requirements, and penalties on them.
• The Fifth Step Bone Guard's punch became hundreds of millions of Bone Beasts, and Players and Chi Kui's faction rushed to fight them for rewards and rankings.
• Zhi Xing, Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Bai E, and Gu Shan contributed their powers as Yang Yu absorbed the strength harvested from the monsters.
• Yang Yu forged the five experts' laws and the Abyss's collective strength into the Sword of Dark Judgment and blocked the Bone Guard's descending fist.
• The clash killed tens of millions of Players through damage sharing, but Yang Yu's sword cut through the Path Severing power and carved a wound into the Bone Guard's finger.

Yang Yu wounded the Fifth Step Bones Guard and seized a Path-Severing Fragment, despite losing part of his hand and damaging the Abyss. Huang Yan explained the Fifth Step to the gathered factions, who rallied behind Yang Yu as the Bones Guard began its third attack.

• Yang Yu's sword cut a mark into the Bones Guard, and a Path-Severing Fragment broke off from its finger bone.
• Yang Yu grabbed the fragment and forced it into the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker, suffering severe damage while the Abyss System announced the fragment's value and danger.
• Huang Yan explained the Nine Steps to Godhood and described Path Severing as cutting away everything except one's sole path; Zhi Xing, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Bai E offered their power to Yang Yu.
• Chi Kui and the players rallied to join the fight, while the Abyss's leaders connected their power to Yang Yu and Bai E identified a weakness in the Bones Guard's left rib.
• The Bones Guard launched its third punch as the God of All Machines began Phase Three, and Yang Yu stepped forward with the Abyss united behind his sword.

The Abyss and its allies fought the Fifth Step Bones Guard as its Force Field Zeroing ability overwhelmed Yang Yu and drained the Abyss Origin. Zhi Xing severed her Fate Path to reach an incomplete Fifth Step and sent Yang Yu a strand of Path-Severing Power, leaving him ready to strike back.

• Players, Wanderers, and the Bones Ranch Remnant sacrificed themselves to strip Path-Severing fragments from the Bones Guard, while Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, Bai E, and Zhi Xing discovered the Path Severing Line.
• The Bones Guard used Force Field Zeroing to prevent the Abyss from sharing damage, repeatedly destroying Yang Yu and draining the Origin as Blue Star forces and others poured power into the Dominator Link.
• Bai E said that only someone who reached the Fifth Step could break the Bones Guard's ability, and Zhi Xing chose to sever her Fate Path using the destinies of the 36 Million Star Domains.
• Zhi Xing reached an incomplete Fifth Step and sent her first strand of Path-Severing Power through the Dominator Link to Yang Yu.
• Yang Yu's Sword of Dark Judgment gained a Star Line capable of severing Force Field Zeroing, and Zhi Xing told him to cut the Bones Guard down.

Yang Yu defeated the Fifth Step Bone Guard and used the Abyss’s resources and a Path-Severing Fragment to restore Zhi Xing as the Abyss’s Fate High Priestess. After Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Bai E pledged themselves to the Abyss, Yang Yu discovered a Bronze Box guarded by the Bone Guard and opened it.

• Yang Yu combined the Abyss’s power with Zhi Xing’s Star Line to sever the Bone Guard’s Force Field Zeroing and destroy it, ending the campaign and restoring the Abyss Origin.
• Zhi Xing began to vanish after sacrificing her life to sever the fates of 36 Million Star Domains, and Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Bai E could not reverse her death.
• Yang Yu spent Abyss Origin to bind Zhi Xing to the Abyss, fused a Path-Severing Fragment into her, and revived her as its Fate High Priestess.
• Zhi Xing accepted her Abyss contract, and Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Bai E surrendered their True Spirits to the Abyss.
• Yang Yu ordered compensation for the battle’s casualties, then found and opened a Bronze Box on an altar bearing the primordial aura of the True God Jin.

Yang Yu and five others tested their comprehension of Jin’s Primordial Divine Ability, World Ruling, and Yang Yu transformed it into the Abyss-specific World Holder ability. After Jin’s Dharma Decree warned Yang Yu not to trust visitors from beyond the gate, he spotted an unknown shadow outside the Bronze Gate.

• The Gray Animal Skin revealed a trial in which Yang Yu, Huang Yan, Zhi Xing, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Bai E faced Jin’s Primordial Divine Ability alone.
• Huang Yan reached ten percent comprehension after six months and briefly made a Cosmic Bubble accept his definition.
• Yang Yu revealed that he had completed the trial on the thirtieth day by applying an Abyss Mark, gaining the True God-tier World Holder: Abyss Version ability.
• A Golden Page emerged from the Bronze Box, and Jin’s Dharma Decree granted Yang Yu protection from one killing tribulation above Name Holding.
• Jin’s Dharma Decree warned Yang Yu not to trust visitors from beyond the gate, and Yang Yu saw an unknown shadow standing outside the Bronze Gate.

Yang Yu confronted a featureless shadow outside the Bronze Gate that claimed the True God Name Jin, while refusing to acknowledge or claim the name. After it vanished, Little White identified the being as a Sixth Step Name Holder.

• The shadow outside the Bronze Gate unnerved Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, Bai E, and Zhi Xing, while Yang Yu sensed that it knew the name Jin.
• Yang Yu approached the shadow and asked how long it had been there; it told him he was not Jin, then declared, “I am Jin.”
• The shadow asked whether Yang Yu wanted the name, and Yang Yu refused to claim it, instead demanding to know whether it was collecting a toll or extorting them.
• The shadow vanished, and Yang Yu concluded that it had been testing whether he would accept the True God Name as an Authority tied to Causality.
• Little White identified the shadow as a Sixth Step Name Holder holding the True God Name.

Little White revealed that the Sixth Step required taking part of a True God's name, and Yang Yu concluded the supposed inheritance site was a battlefield where false Name Holders fought over Jin's name. When Xuan Jiu questioned whether the True God's corpse they had explored was real, Yang Yu decided they would test it by taking bones and cooking them.

• Little White explained that Name Holders claimed parts of a True God's name rather than making Hongmeng recognize a new name.
• Yang Yu reasoned that the beings called Jin were Name Holders and that the Inverted Battlefield was not a True God inheritance site.
• Zhi Xing rejected the Sixth Step path, while Yang Yu declared that the Abyss would take over the disputed worlds and assets.
• Xuan Jiu asked whether the vast True God's corpse in the Pseudo-Hongmeng Region was real or another fake.
• Yang Yu smiled at the question and proposed taking bones from the corpse and simmering them to find out.

Yang Yu and his allies questioned whether the vast Divine Body in Hongmeng was truly the corpse of the Eternal True God Jin, then decided to strengthen themselves and investigate before attempting to dismantle it. Yang Yu mobilized the Abyss Exchange to gather intelligence and bone samples across the region while tracking the rhythm of Zangzhou’s patrols, preparing for a more difficult battle.

• Little White, Gu Shan, and Xuan Jiu pointed out that the Divine Body lacked the powerful immune beings and lingering consciousness expected inside a True God’s corpse, raising doubts that it belonged to Jin.
• Huang Yan, Zhi Xing, Bai E, and Gu Shan warned Yang Yu that dismantling the corpse could provoke both the Immune Behemoths and the Polyhedron Council of Elders, so Yang Yu chose to wait until the Abyss and its allies finished assimilating their recent gains.
• Moro warned the group that the Council of Elders possessed unseen ancient powers beyond its public weapons, while a system alert reported a routine patrol pulse from Zangzhou.
• Yang Yu distributed Fifth Step Essence Crystal fragments refined from the Bones Guard to Huang Yan, Zhi Xing, Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, Bai E, and Little White, then ordered four S-Rank intelligence and resource bounties through the Abyss Exchange.
• Millions of Exchange users accepted the bounties and began scouting for Immune Behemoth patterns, Polyhedron strongholds, Divine Body bones, and Name Holder ruins; Yang Yu watched the response and memorized the rhythm of Zangzhou’s patrols.
• Yang Yu dismissed the group to digest their gains and said he expected them to withstand a Fifth Step punch by their next meeting, as he prepared for a harder battle.

Yang Yu broke through to the Fourth Step Order-Breaking Realm and showed that his authority over the Abyss could nullify even Fifth Step power. After several allies advanced to the Fifth Step, he used the Abyss’s resources to repair Zhi Xing’s damaged Fate Star Mark and give her a new future.

• Yang Yu drew on the Abyss’s beings, transactions, and underlying logic to break through to the Order-Breaking Realm.
• Gu Shan, Xuan Jiu, and Huang Yan reached the Fifth Step, and Huang Yan tested Yang Yu before being restrained by the Abyss’s rules.
• Yang Yu asked where Zhi Xing was and learned that her damaged Fate Star Mark left her barely stable and unable to enter the true Fifth Step.
• Zhi Xing offered to give up her Bones Crystal, but Yang Yu called her injury a workplace injury and used his reserves to reconstruct her future.
• Zhi Xing’s repair began, reducing her estimated recovery time from three Eras to three hundred and twenty days.

Yang Yu learned that the barrier was a fabricated shell stitched from the remains of 312 destroyed universes and ordered the Abyss to strip it for materials. The Polyhedron Council of Elders detected the harvesting and sent a cleaner to erase the affected region.

• Players and cultivators harvested bone chips from the barrier, while Li Qingcang coordinated the teams and Ya Jiu delivered eighty pounds of fragments to the Abyss Core.
• Wanji analyzed a bone fragment and found conflicting structures from 312 Macrocosm Underlying Architectures, identifying it as a stitched product rather than natural bone.
• Yang Yu concluded that the enormous barrier was a Skin Suit made from cosmic wreckage, then concealed the analysis and increased the bounty to encourage excavation.
• Yang Yu prepared Huang Yan, Gu Shan, Xuan Jiu, Bai E, and Zhi Xing for a counterattack once the Polyhedron Council of Elders noticed the damage.
• The Polyhedron Council of Elders detected abnormal mass loss from the outer wall, realized something was bypassing the immune system, and ordered the cleaner to scan and erase the affected region.

Abyss Players mining the Bone Membrane confronted a Fourth-Step Cleaner, which repeatedly erased them but could not stop them from respawning. When it tried to erase [Ye Ao Nai Wo He] from existence, Yang Yu’s protection shattered the Cleaner’s core, and the mining zone opened onto a new dungeon: the Giant Gray Eye.

• Thousands of Abyss Players mined No. 3 Mining Zone until a Cleaner from the Polyhedron Council of Elders appeared and erased hundreds of them.
• The Cleaner repeatedly killed [Ye Ao Nai Wo He] and other Players, but they respawned and charged back while tracking the boss’s armor-analysis Progress Bar.
• The Cleaner attempted to erase [Ye Ao Nai Wo He]’s causal existence, but Yang Yu’s distant intervention shattered its Polyhedron core and restored the Player.
• The Cleaner called for higher-level support as the Bone Wall split open to reveal a Giant Gray Eye, which the System identified as the entrance to a new dungeon.
• Abyss Players abandoned the injured Cleaner and rushed to form parties for the new dungeon, while Ya Jiu fainted.

Yang Yu sent Little White and the Abyss forces into No. 3 Mining Zone to probe the Giant Eye and gather data, while keeping the Fifth-Step fighters in reserve. The Players and Wanderers began assaulting the rift, but the Giant Eye activated a Royal Immune Beast Sequence that dimmed every Respawn Anchor Point.

• A Giant Eye opened behind the Bone Wall Rift, folding space and time in No. 3 Mining Zone and causing Wanderers to vanish.
• Yang Yu refused to send Huang Yan and the other Fifth-Step fighters, explaining that the Abyss needed expendable scouts to map the rift’s hazards and report back after dying.
• Little White, Li Qingcang, the Players, and the Wanderers assembled outside the rift, with Little White activating Respawn Anchor Points to record attacks and deaths.
• The Players charged into the rift and repeatedly resurrected to report the Giant Eye’s sweeping beam, its tentacles, and shifting gravity.
• Little White and Li Qingcang helped the forces sever tentacles, while Chi Kui, Hei Ming, Daoist Withered Bone, and Fourth-Step Wanderers joined the assault.
• The Giant Eye activated the Royal Immune Beast Sequence, causing every Respawn Anchor Point in No. 3 Mining Zone to dim.

Huang Yan fought the Triacontakaihexagon in No. 3 Mining Zone while Yang Yu held back the Abyss’s other Fifth Steps, suspecting the enemy was testing their strength. The Polyhedron’s blank symbol then erased Huang Yan’s name from everyone’s awareness, leaving Yang Yu facing proof that it wielded Name Holder methods.

• Huang Yan arrived at Rift Valley and destroyed the Giant Eye, then pulled it from the rift and exposed the Triacontakaihexagon behind it.
• The Triacontakaihexagon attacked Huang Yan with cosmic rules and Jin’s stolen Permissions, while Yang Yu ordered the other Abyss fighters to stay back.
• Huang Yan tore apart the Geometric Chains and wounded the Triacontakaihexagon, which activated the Council of Elders’ Inner Layer Protocol.
• The Triacontakaihexagon revealed a blank symbol that called Huang Yan Unnamed, causing messages and spoken attempts to identify him to turn into gibberish.
• Yang Yu recognized that the Polyhedron had access to Name Holder methods as Gu Shan reacted in alarm.

The Polyhedron Council of Elders used a Sixth Step Name-Holding technique to erase Huang Yan from existence, leaving the Abyss unable to remember or resurrect him. With the Triacontakaihexagon threatening to erase the Abyss and trace its data back to headquarters, Yang Yu broadcast that it wanted to steal Jin's name, summoning an unknowable presence that appeared behind it.

• The Blank Symbol erased Huang Yan's name and history, defeating the Abyss System's search and reset processes.
• Zhi Xing, Gu Shan, and Li Qingcang recognized that the Abyss could not counter a Sixth Step attack, while the Players panicked as their memories and recordings failed.
• The Triacontakaihexagon announced that it would format the area and trace the Abyss's data anchors back to headquarters.
• Yang Yu ordered Wanji to broadcast across the True God Remains and Hongmeng, declaring that someone was trying to steal Jin's name.
• An undefinable black shadow appeared behind the Triacontakaihexagon as it confessed its plan to become Jin, and the shadow asked, “Is that so?”

A Sixth Step shadow erased the Triacontakaihexagon after it tried to claim the name Jin, restoring Huang Yan and the memories of those affected. Players rushed to collect the fragments it left behind, and the shadow turned its attention to Yang Yu, telling him he had done well.

• The shadow immobilized the Triacontakaihexagon, and its Blank Symbol abandoned it and flew to the shadow.
• The shadow declared that the Triacontakaihexagon was not Jin and erased it from existence.
• The Unnamed rule vanished, restoring Huang Yan, the Death Kingdom's permissions, and the players' missing memories.
• Players rushed to seize the Triacontakaihexagon's scattered Universe Fragments while Huang Yan recovered.
• The shadow faced Yang Yu in the Abyss Core Layer and told him, "This time, you did well."

After a Sixth Step being warned Yang Yu away from the name Jin, Yang Yu claimed the abandoned Divine Corpse and launched a massive mining operation. When the Players uncovered a Great Universe inhabited by hostile locals, he ordered them captured alive, and the defenders of Tianxuan prepared for an invasion.

• The shadow warned Yang Yu that Jin belonged to it, then vanished after Yang Yu disclaimed any interest in the name.
• Yang Yu declared the Divine Corpse and the Polyhedron's abandoned assets ownerless, restored mining bounties, and announced that Players could strip the corpse for resources.
• Players swarmed the Divine Corpse, and Huang Yan discovered a Great Universe beneath its outer layers with powerful inhabitants inside.
• After the inhabitants attacked the miners, Yang Yu ordered Huang Yan and Li Qingcang to capture them alive.
• Huang Yan opened a breach into the Great Universe, where a Fourth Step elder rallied the inhabitants to defend Tianxuan against the Outer Realm Demon Tide.
