Chapter Summaries

Yang Yu captured cultivators from the Heavenly Profound Realm and other sealed universes, revealed that their worlds were being harvested as parts of a Divine Corpse, and began annexing and connecting them into the Abyss. As the Abyss formed a living skin from the linked universes, nine unexplored worlds revealed an ancient inscription: “Primal Skin Scroll.”

• Huang Yan captured the golden-robed elder and other Third Step cultivators from the Heavenly Profound Realm, and Yang Yu showed them that their Heavenly Veins were draining their world for Polyhedron.
• Yang Yu offered the elder a choice between resistance and cooperating with the Abyss’s relocation; the elder agreed to observe the process.
• The Abyss annexed more sealed universes, and Yang Yu determined that Boundary Seals had severed their inhabitants’ awareness of the Outside World.
• Yang Yu discovered that Blood Vein patterns linked the universes like tendons, then directed Wanji to create Abyss Blood Veins that connected the Abyss’s surrounding worlds.
• The connected universe cluster strengthened its defenses and circulated Origin, while nine unexplored universes lit up and revealed the words “Primal Skin Scroll.”

Yang Yu used reverse Blood Veins to break apart the Divine Corpse’s outer wall, then devoured its freed Great Universes with the Abyss. His assault activated the Ultimate Immune Protocol, and a Peak Fifth Step Ultimate Immune Cell appeared to eradicate him.

• Yang Yu ordered Wanji to reverse the Abyss’s Blood Veins and tear apart the Divine Corpse’s load-bearing wall.
• The wall collapsed, freeing hundreds of Great Universes, and Players led by Li Qingcang began hauling them back to the Abyss.
• Yang Yu judged the Players’ efforts too slow and summoned the Abyssal Maw to devour the drifting Great Universes in enormous batches.
• The God of All Machines warned that the Divine Body’s Ultimate Immune Protocol had activated in response to the catastrophic loss of mass.
• A Peak Fifth Step Ultimate Immune Cell emerged from the Bone Wall, identified Yang Yu as a malignant parasite, and began its final eradication.

Yang Yu used the Abyss’s mass and power to defeat the Peak Fifth Step Ultimate Immune Cell and capture it in the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker. He converted it into an Abyss Ultimate Immune Guard, which knelt before him and awaited orders.

• The Ultimate Immune Cell emerged from the Divine Corpse and overwhelmed the Abyss’s Fifth Step combatants with its presence.
• The Immune Cell attacked three Great Universes, but Yang Yu appeared and formed the Abyss’s connected universes into a giant hand.
• Yang Yu struck the Immune Cell with a Great Universe-powered version of Force Breaks All Laws and dragged it out of the Divine Corpse’s defenses.
• Yang Yu trapped the Immune Cell in the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker and sealed it with the Abyss’s power.
• Yang Yu converted the Immune Cell into an Abyss Exclusive Ultimate Immune Guard, which knelt before him and awaited his command.

Yang Yu’s Abyss seized control of the Divine Corpse’s Immune System and devoured its outer layers, turning the corpse’s defenses into mining support and expanding the Abyss into a mobile Pseudo-Hongmeng domain. After the Divine Corpse was nearly stripped bare, Yang Yu concluded that the silent Name Holder cared less about the corpse than about the name “Jin.”

• Yang Yu rewrote the Divine Corpse’s Ultimate Immune Cell into the Abyss’s peak Fifth Step Ultimate Immune Guard, which took over the corpse’s defenses and helped Players dismantle it.
• Yang Yu launched the Devouring the Divine Corpse event, and Players and Wanderers harvested the corpse while the Abyss recovered its structures and developed a Pseudo-Hongmeng boundary.
• Yang Yu ordered uninhabited and dead universes remade into Abyss Immune Behemoths, while he connected salvageable civilizations to the Abyss’s protection zone.
• Over the following year, Yang Yu’s forces stripped away most of the Divine Corpse, and the Abyss expanded into a Pseudo-Hongmeng region patrolled by a thousand Immune Behemoths.
• Yang Yu observed that the Polyhedron Council of Elders and the Name Holder had not intervened, and concluded that the Name Holder’s real interest was the name “Jin.”

Yang Yu erased the Divine Corpse skeleton with the Abyss’s true form and created a Chaos World that could withstand Hongmeng’s erasure. As he prepared to send the Players to develop it, an enormous Giant Fish emerged from the depths of Hongmeng and stopped before him.

• Li Qingcang reported that the Players could not break through the Divine Corpse skeleton, so Yang Yu ordered the army to retreat behind the Boundary Wall.
• Yang Yu summoned the Abyss’s true form and wielded the Sword of Judgment to erase the skeleton and create a Chaos World within Pale Hongmeng.
• Huang Yan and the other onlookers recognized that Yang Yu’s power surpassed the conventional Fifth Step, while the Players celebrated his feat.
• Yang Yu planned to send the Players into the newborn Chaos World, but a Giant Fish larger than the Divine Corpse emerged from Hongmeng.
• Li Qingcang ordered the troops to prepare for defense, but Yang Yu stopped them as the Giant Fish halted before him and watched him.

Yang Yu refused the Giant Fish’s invitation to enter a Trial for the Permissions attached to the name Jin, rejecting Name Holding as parasitism and declaring that the Abyss would forge its own path. When the Giant Fish invoked Fixed Fate and tried to take him by force, Yang Yu and the Abyss prepared to resist.

• The Giant Fish tried to swallow Yang Yu, but Yang Yu moved himself and the entire Abyss a hundred thousand Great Universes away.
• The Giant Fish offered Yang Yu a Trial for a portion of the Permissions attached to the name Jin, but Huang Yan, Gu Shan, Xuan Jiu, Bai E, Little White, and Yang Yu refused to go.
• Yang Yu denounced Name Holding as parasitism and said he did not need someone else’s name, prompting the Abyss Collective Will to rally behind him.
• The Giant Fish invoked Fixed Fate and used its Authority of Reception to force Yang Yu into the Trial, but the Abyss System activated its Immune Sequence and the Ultimate Immune Guard tried to block it.
• The Giant Fish attempted to swallow Yang Yu, the Abyss, and its Pseudo-Hongmeng Foundation as Huang Yan, Gu Shan, Xuan Jiu, Zhi Xing, Little White, Li Qingcang, and the Abyss forces prepared to fight.
• Yang Yu caught the Trial Causal Thread in his hand as the Abyss stood ready behind him, then challenged the Giant Fish’s rules by asking, “What if I say no?”

The Giant Fish tried to overwrite Yang Yu’s identity and pull the Abyss into the Jin Lineage Trial, but Yang Yu united the Abyss and wounded it with the Sword of Judgment. The Giant Fish claimed its master was Jin, leaving Yang Yu and his allies questioning how many beings claimed that name as Yang Yu prepared to confront it.

• The Giant Fish used a Trial Protocol to impose the identity of Jin Lineage Trialist on Yang Yu, while Huang Yan, Gu Shan, Xuan Jiu, Bai E, and Zhi Xing attacked it without breaking through its defenses.
• Yang Yu activated Abyss Full-Power Form, joined the Abyss’s forces and authority, and tore part of the Trial Causal Line from his True Spirit.
• Yang Yu struck the Giant Fish’s crescent-moon Authority of Reception and bypassed its dead-universe armor, cracking a scale and drawing its blood.
• The Giant Fish questioned how Yang Yu could hurt it without reaching the Sixth Step, then said its master was Jin as Yang Yu’s Primordial Mark and blank Golden Page reacted.
• Huang Yan, Xuan Jiu, Bai E, Gu Shan, and Zhi Xing considered the other beings and factions claiming Jin’s name, while Yang Yu asked whether the Giant Fish’s master was also called Jin.

Yang Yu fought the Giant Fish in Hongmeng and drew the attention of powerful beings, but he exposed the envoy’s inability to flee and summoned a dark Name Holder by invoking Shadow. The Name Holder attacked the Giant Fish over the name Jin as Yang Yu withdrew, leaving the two to fight.

• Yang Yu struck the Giant Fish with the Sword of Judgment and the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker, creating ripples that repeatedly birthed and destroyed worlds.
• The Giant Fish warned Yang Yu that their battle would attract higher-dimensional beings and offered to take him away if he became Jin’s Trial-taker.
• Yang Yu challenged the Giant Fish’s threats and learned that the envoy could not leave without guiding a chosen Trial participant.
• Yang Yu escalated the fight with the Abyss Dharma Aspect, then called out that someone was trying to steal Shadow’s name.
• The One Outside the Door appeared and attacked the Giant Fish, turning its Jin-marked storm against it and blasting apart half its head.
• Yang Yu retreated from the battle, telling the Giant Fish that they could die together without him being there.

Yang Yu fled the Hongmeng Battlefield after an unknown force erased part of the clash between the Giant Fish and Name Holding's shadow, then sent clones back to loot the apparently dead Giant Fish. The Giant Fish survived and was struck again by the mysterious force, while Yang Yu's gains grew and the gaze began closing in on the Abyss.

• Yang Yu ordered the Abyss to flee after an unknown attack erased the battlefield, and Zhi Xing failed to trace the attack's Causality.
• Yang Yu sent a clone back, which found Name Holding's shadow dead and the Giant Fish apparently lifeless, then siphoned the Giant Fish's Origin to repair the Abyss.
• The Giant Fish revealed it had been playing dead and attacked the clone, but the clone drew another Pale Fluctuation that erased part of the Giant Fish's tail and destroyed the clone.
• Yang Yu sent a second clone, which pried nine Dead Universe Scales from the Giant Fish while it pretended to be dead.
• The Giant Fish awakened and protested, but the clone drew another Pale Fluctuation, which blasted the Giant Fish away and destroyed the second clone as it returned the scales to the Abyss.
• The Ultimate Immune Guard detected an unknown high-level gaze closing in on the Abyss, and the God of All Machines warned Yang Yu to stop looting.

Yang Yu compressed the Abyss into a particle and hid it in a newborn universe to escape an unknown presence. He watched Qiong kill the Hongmeng Giant Fish, then saw Qiong himself mysteriously die, leaving Yang Yu and the Abyss in hiding amid Hongmeng’s terrifying hierarchy.

• Yang Yu collapsed the Abyss into a microscopic particle, severed its causal ties, erased its traces, and hid it inside a Freshman Great Universe.
• The Hongmeng Giant Fish revived and fled, but Qiong appeared in its path and killed it with a single gesture.
• Qiong searched the surrounding universes for traces of Beyond Transcendence, bringing his gaze close to Yang Yu’s hiding place.
• Before Qiong could find the Abyss, an unseen force caused him to vanish and burst apart without a sound.
• Yang Yu kept the Abyss silent and dormant, refusing to investigate the remains as he wondered what kind of place Hongmeng was.

Yang Yu and the others remained hidden in the Abyss while powerful beings repeatedly attacked the area where Qiong had died, and Yang Yu explained the political motive behind the assault. He then deduced that the Hongmeng Giant Fish might have gained authority by being assumed to be Jin’s Pet, leaving the group considering how many other identities tied to Jin could be claimed.

• Huang Yan and Gu Shan asked Yang Yu how long the Abyss had to remain hidden, and Yang Yu said they would wait until the attacks outside stopped.
• Yang Yu and Xuan Jiu concluded that different high-dimensional beings were repeatedly erasing the area to prevent Qiong’s resurrection and eliminate a potential rival.
• Zhi Xing asked whether the Hongmeng Giant Fish had taken Jin’s name, and Little White explained that Name Holding required others to recognize and accept the name.
• Yang Yu proposed that the Giant Fish had instead benefited from others assuming it was Jin’s Pet or another being connected to Jin.
• Yang Yu’s explanation led the group to consider whether other identities associated with Jin could also be claimed.

Yang Yu planned to claim Jin’s vacant mount name for the Abyss by having its inhabitants recognize Huang Yan as Jin’s Realm-Suppressing Divine Beast. Huang Yan accepted the role, and Yang Yu began preparing an internal quest to build that recognition without alerting the Old Freaks outside.

• Yang Yu had the God of All Machines calculate the Abyss’s population and learned it contained the remnants and life systems of countless absorbed universes.
• Yang Yu proposed using recognition within the Abyss to claim Jin’s vacant mount name and establish a path to the Sixth Step without seeking approval from Hongmeng.
• Xuan Jiu, Gu Shan, and Zhi Xing declined the role for reasons tied to their paths, appearance, and unstable Fate Line.
• Huang Yan volunteered to become Jin’s mount, arguing that the Sixth Step position was worth taking despite the job’s indignity.
• Yang Yu ordered the God of All Machines to keep the announcement inside the Abyss’s closed network and create a Mandatory Story Quest called the Lost Ancient Divine Scroll.
• Yang Yu dictated a story identifying Huang Yan as Jin’s sole surviving Realm-Suppressing Divine Beast and called on Abyss Citizens to help him recover his True Name.

Yang Yu used a mandatory worship system to gather enough recognition for Huang Yan to reach the Sixth Step, but the promotion transformed Huang Yan into a fish and bound him to a deadly recruitment duty. The chapter ended when Huang Yan discovered that Yang Yu was the Reception Register’s first and optimal Trial candidate.

• Yang Yu ordered God of All Machines to launch daily worship check-ins for Huang Yan, and the Abyss’s players and civilizations began worshipping him for rewards.
• Over three years, the growing recognition and Causality broke Huang Yan’s Fifth Step bottleneck and raised him to the Sixth Step.
• Huang Yan transformed into a black-and-white fish and discovered that he had inherited a Reception Register requiring him to select Trial candidates for True God Jin.
• Yang Yu reasoned that the roster might allow recruitment within the Abyss and asked Huang Yan to inspect its rules.
• Huang Yan found that Yang Yu was listed first as the optimal Trial candidate.

The Abyss Core Layer learned that the Reception Register had selected Yang Yu for Jin’s Trial because of his extraordinary potential and strong Causality. After Huang Yan checked the deadline, Yang Yu and the others discovered they had ten Eras to prepare, leaving the immediate threat behind them.

• Zhi Xing and Little White explained that the register chose Yang Yu because of his connection to Jin and his rise from mortal to powerful cultivator in less than ten years.
• Huang Yan, Gu Shan, Bai E, and the God of All Machines jokingly accused Yang Yu of using cheats, and Yang Yu claimed he was simply talented.
• Yang Yu said Jin had likely existed in the Pale Hongmeng and decided he would accept the Trial rather than let the register’s rules erase Huang Yan.
• Huang Yan sensed the register’s countdown and announced that the deadline was ten Eras, not ten days, years, or breaths.
• Gu Shan, Xuan Jiu, and the others scolded Huang Yan for mistaking the distant deadline for an immediate threat, and Yang Yu relaxed.

Yang Yu devised a plan to turn Jin’s Trial into a recruitment-fee scheme that would let him learn the contestants’ abilities and award them back as Jin’s inheritance. As the Abyss stayed hidden from the Old Freaks outside, Yang Yu discovered a First Step native lifeform in the Freshman Great Universe, and the being looked directly at the concealed Abyss.

• Yang Yu studied Huang Yan’s register of 341 powerful cultivators and decided to hold Jin’s Trial inside the Abyss, charging each participant 100,000 Great Universe Origins.
• Yang Yu explained that the Abyss could copy the contestants’ abilities as they fought, allowing him to combine their techniques and present them as Jin’s inheritance.
• Yang Yu ordered the Abyss to remain concealed until the Old Freaks outside stopped watching, then sank his True Spirit into the Abyss Core.
• Yang Yu sensed a disturbance within the Freshman Great Universe, and the God of All Machines detected a native lifeform that had reached the First Step in less than three years.
• Yang Yu found the naked humanoid meditating amid Chaos Qi Currents, and the being opened its pupil-less white eyes and locked onto the Abyss.

Yang Yu recruited the Pale Little Man, a self-taught First Step being from a Freshman Universe, into the Abyss. When the God of All Machines tried to mark him as an employee, a dormant force emerged from him with Qiong's aura, leaving the Abyss on high alert.

• Yang Yu stopped the Abyss members from attacking the Pale Little Man and explained that his self-taught cultivation made him a valuable talent.
• Yang Yu contacted the Pale Little Man, persuaded him to leave the gray chaos and join the Abyss, and brought him into the Core Layer.
• The Pale Little Man insulted Huang Yan by calling him black and dumb, while Yang Yu ordered the God of All Machines to classify him as an intern and assign him an Employee Mark.
• An invisible force blocked the Employee Mark, triggered Abyss alarms, and caused a Gray-White Eyeball to open in the Pale Little Man's forehead.
• Yang Yu recognized Qiong's aura in the Gray-White Eyeball and sealed the Abyss Core Layer.

Yang Yu helped the nameless boy reject Qiong’s attempt to define him as a vessel, then joined forces with Huang Yan and the Abyss to trap Qiong’s manifested remnant. Qiong was sealed in the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker, but he warned that other backup vessels remained scattered throughout Hongmeng.

• Qiong’s Remnant Eye activated in the boy’s forehead, and Yang Yu identified the boy as a vessel meant to host Qiong’s return.
• Yang Yu explained that only the boy could reject Qiong’s definition, then persuaded him to claim his identity as an Abyss employee.
• The boy declared himself a worker for the Abyss, causing the Remnant Eye to break and Qiong’s phantom to manifest.
• Qiong attacked the boy and tried to impose his laws on the Abyss, but Yang Yu, Huang Yan, and the Abyss’s power trapped him.
• Qiong’s phantom was drawn into the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker, warning Yang Yu that other backup vessels could bring him back.

Yang Yu refined Qiong’s Remnant Will, allowing the boy to absorb Qiong’s clean Origin and rise to the peak of the Fourth Step before joining the Abyss as Cang. Cang revealed that Qiong had left three thousand vessels across Hongmeng, and the Abyss prepared to secretly investigate one near the ruins where it was hiding.

• Yang Yu used the Chaos High-Pressure Cooker to strip Qiong’s Remnant Will from the boy, leaving him with a pure High-Dimensional Core.
• The boy absorbed the Core, rapidly advanced to the Fourth-Step Order-Breaking Realm peak, and received an Abyss employee mark.
• Yang Yu named the boy Cang and enrolled him as an Abyss intern, while Cang revealed that he had inherited Qiong’s combat instincts.
• Cang disclosed a Coordinate Map showing three thousand of Qiong’s vessels and vowed to devour them all and take Qiong’s place.
• Yang Yu ordered Huang Yan to check the vessels against Jin’s Trial roster, and the Roster located one near the Freshman Universe where the Abyss was hiding.
• Yang Yu decided to pursue the nearby vessel, and the God of All Machines recommended particle-level stealth navigation and a mission motto: “Slip in quietly and don't fire a shot.”

After nine months in hiding, Yang Yu led the entire Abyss through Hongmeng aboard Huang Yan, using his Induction Envoy status to approach Qiong’s vessel, Luo Yan. The journey ended at a Ferry surrounded by kneeling Transcendents, where Luo Yan recognized the Abyss and announced that he would collect a registration fee for Ancestor Qiong.

• Yang Yu prepared the Abyss to pursue Luo Yan after the Jin Reception Register identified him as Qiong’s vessel and a Half-Step Name Holder.
• Yang Yu swallowed Cang’s birthplace, the Freshman Great Universe, into the Abyss and told Cang it would remain accessible beside the Employee Dormitory Area.
• Yang Yu compressed the Abyss into a crown on Huang Yan’s head, and Huang Yan carried it through Hongmeng using his official Induction Causality.
• Huang Yan’s journey startled low-level Transcendents, who watched him carry an entire World Cluster and pass through a Narrow Door.
• Cang sensed another vessel ahead, and the God of All Machines identified it as Luo Yan, surrounded by several thousand kneeling Transcendents.
• Luo Yan looked toward the Abyss and said that Ancestor Qiong expected the Induction Envoys and that he would collect the Registration Fee.

Yang Yu sent Cang to confront Luo Yan with the Sword of Judgment, and Cang nearly killed him despite the difference in their realms. Luo Yan sacrificed thousands of Transcendents to reach the Sixth Step, but Yang Yu sealed the battlefield and Cang prepared to continue the fight.

• Yang Yu gave Cang the Sword of Judgment and sent him to face Luo Yan at Hongmeng Ferry.
• Cang shattered Luo Yan’s defenses with one sword strike and vaporized half his body.
• Luo Yan killed thousands of Transcendents and absorbed their Origins and Laws to advance to the Sixth Step.
• Luo Yan fused with the Withered Heart and fought Cang in a battle that devastated the Hongmeng Ruins.
• Yang Yu ordered Wanji to seal the battlefield with the Level One Silent Shield, trapping Luo Yan and Cang inside.
• Cang raised the Sword of Judgment over Luo Yan’s heart and vowed to keep striking until he died.
