Chapter Summaries

Yang Yu’s punching-bag business drew a crowd eager to pay for the chance to beat the imprisoned Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable. When Fairy Red Lotus and Dao Venerable Qingxuan arrived, they bought two Deluxe Packages and prepared to attack Nine Tribulations, who accused Red Lotus of betraying him and exploiting his past sacrifices.

• Yang Yu advertised paid packages for punching Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable, and Xuan Shan paid for a punch that loosened his cultivation bottleneck.
• Xuan Shan bought more slaps, while other old monsters crowded forward to pay for their turns and Nine Tribulations was beaten and humiliated.
• Fairy Red Lotus and Dao Venerable Qingxuan arrived, prompting Nine Tribulations to warn them to flee and revealing that he expected them to rescue him.
• Fairy Red Lotus paid two hundred billion Origin for two Deluxe Packages, and Qingxuan politely thanked Yang Yu for the opportunity to punish Nine Tribulations.
• Yang Yu provided Red Lotus with a barbed leather whip and Qingxuan with a spiked club, while Nine Tribulations denied abusing Red Lotus and accused her and Qingxuan of betraying him.

Yang Yu stopped Fairy Red Lotus and Dao Venerable Qingxuan from beating Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable after he hired him into the Abyss, so the pair joined the organization to continue their revenge. After overseeing their beating of Nine Tribulations, Yang Yu asked how they wielded Sixth Step power without bearing the names of True Gods.

• Fairy Red Lotus and Dao Venerable Qingxuan beat the chained Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable until he begged Yang Yu to save him in exchange for his fortune and service to the Abyss.
• Yang Yu refused Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable's offer, then stopped Red Lotus and Qingxuan from striking him because Nine Tribulations had declared that he wanted to join the Abyss and was now an employee.
• Yang Yu demanded another one hundred thousand trillion Origin for Red Lotus and Qingxuan to keep beating Nine Tribulations, and Red Lotus offered to join the Abyss instead.
• Red Lotus and Qingxuan signed on as Abyss employees, then resumed beating Nine Tribulations as an internal team-building activity while Yang Yu allowed it.
• Yang Yu stopped the beating long enough to ask Qingxuan why he, Red Lotus, and Nine Tribulations wielded Sixth Step power without bearing the names of True Gods.

Yang Yu revealed that he had created his own Sixth Step True Name, Abyss, and therefore had no Old God name to sever before advancing. He summoned the River of Ages and Hongmeng Dao Wall in Starlight Market, preparing to attempt the Seventh Step breakthrough on the spot.

• Fairy Red Lotus and Dao Venerable Qingxuan explained that Seventh Step cultivators had to sever their borrowed Old God names and inscribe their River of Ages upon Hongmeng.
• Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable mocked Yang Yu for supposedly carrying an Old God name, but Yang Yu revealed that he had created the True Name Abyss himself.
• Yang Yu's Abyss aura proved he had no Old God name to sever, and Dao Venerable Qingxuan concluded that he might skip that first trial.
• Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable warned that Hongmeng Inscription remained dangerous, but Yang Yu decided to break through immediately at Starlight Market.
• Yang Yu tore open the void, summoned the River of Ages and Hongmeng Dao Wall, and announced that he would pull out the river and test the wall's sturdiness.

Yang Yu drew out his less-than-hundred-year River of Ages, whose concentrated weight crushed Starlight Market, then began forcibly inscribing the Hongmeng Dao Wall. His first stroke cracked the ancient wall, and the Merchant Guild issued a warning as he continued writing.

• Yang Yu revealed a River of Ages less than a hundred years long, and the gathered experts mocked him while Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable predicted his inscription would fail.
• Yang Yu’s River of Ages descended with immense weight, crushing the experts in Starlight Market and forcing Dao Venerable Qingxuan, Fairy Red Lotus, and Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable to the ground.
• Yang Yu explained that his River of Ages contained the concentrated activity and Causality of countless Abyss Players and devoured universes, then absorbed it and approached the Hongmeng Dao Wall.
• Yang Yu used his True Spirit to inscribe the character “Deep” without suffering a Causality Tribulation, and his first stroke cracked the Hongmeng Dao Wall.
• Yang Yu continued writing as cracks spread across the wall and Starlight Market shook, until the Merchant Guild warned him to stop damaging its public infrastructure.

Yang Yu risked destroying the Hongmeng Dao Wall while engraving his breakthrough, but the Myriad Worlds Merchant House turned the crisis into a paid reinforcement service. After funding the repairs, Yang Yu completed his inscription and reached the Seventh Step Ancient Illuminating Realm.

• Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable taunted Yang Yu as the damaged Hongmeng Dao Wall threatened to drag Starlight Market into Space-Time Turbulence.
• General Manager 001 warned Yang Yu to stop, but Yang Yu offered to pay for the wall’s repairs and God of All Machines reported his enormous account balance.
• The Myriad Worlds Merchant House sold Yang Yu a discounted reinforcement package, using three Ruined Hongmeng Grand Worlds, ten Eighth Step Array Grandmasters, and the Main System to stabilize the wall.
• Yang Yu engraved “Abyss” on the reinforced Hongmeng Dao Wall and advanced to the Seventh Step Ancient Illuminating Realm.
• General Manager 001, Dao Venerable Qingxuan, and Fairy Red Lotus congratulated Yang Yu, while Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable begged him for forgiveness and asked to become his subordinate.

Yang Yu advanced to the Seventh Step, erased Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable across the past, present, and future, and entered the Myriad Worlds Merchant House inner layer. There he learned that the Hongmeng was a confined world and that the True Gods Jin and Qiong could return as long as their names endured.

• Yang Yu recycled Nine Tribulations Dao Venerable, then erased his hidden past self and future Dao seed so he vanished completely.
• Yang Yu entered the Merchant House inner layer with Dao Venerable Qingxuan and Fairy Red Lotus, where 001 showed them its powerful customers and services.
• Yang Yu booked the colosseum for a month so tens of thousands of Sixth Step Abyss cultivators could train, with Seventh Step cultivators to follow.
• 001 explained that the Vast Cosmos Hongmeng Great World was a fish tank bounded by the True Void, which ordinary Seventh Step cultivators could not cross.
• 001 confirmed that Jin and Qiong were Primal Deities who had died but could return if their names persisted, especially through enough Name Holders or one who reached an extremely high realm.

Yang Yu uncovered the Myriad Worlds Merchant House’s plan to use Name Holders as markers for resurrecting True Gods Jin and Qiong, then learned the House wanted to invest in his own path to godhood. He refused to count paid services or promises as compensation for risking his life and left Butler 001’s offer hanging after receiving a Primordial Spirit Treasure as a deposit.

• Yang Yu confronted Butler 001 and deduced that factions backing Jin and Qiong used Name Holders to strengthen the True Gods’ paths to resurrection.
• Butler 001 confirmed the scheme and explained that the Merchant House saw Yang Yu’s self-created name, Abyss, as proof he could become a True God in his own right.
• Butler 001 revealed that Qiong founded the Myriad Worlds Merchant House and asked Yang Yu to join Qiong against a powerful enemy when war came.
• Yang Yu rejected the Merchant House’s claimed assistance as services he had already paid for and demanded tangible benefits before accepting the dangerous offer.
• Butler 001 presented the Cyan Bronze Seal, a Primordial Spirit Treasure called the World Suppressor, as the Merchant House’s initial investment and deposit for cooperation.

Yang Yu subdued the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal by burning vast amounts of Origin in his High-Pressure Cooker, then learned that the True God Secret Realm would open in three years. He accepted the Seal as a deposit and arranged to enter the Secret Realm, where he hoped to gain power and resources.

• Yang Yu forced the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal into his High-Pressure Cooker and melted down its resistance with Money Flame until it called him Grandpa and submitted to an enslavement contract.
• The Bronze Seal demonstrated its power by suppressing Dao Venerable Qingxuan, Fairy Red Lotus, and Butler 001, before Yang Yu called it back.
• Yang Yu accepted the Bronze Seal as a deposit and agreed to put Qiong's favor on the tab.
• Butler 001 showed Yang Yu a Star Map and explained that the True God Secret Realm would open in roughly three years, offering a chance to raise Status Rank and pursue godhood.
• Yang Yu told Butler 001 to save him a ticket to the True God Secret Realm.

Yang Yu learned that the True God Secret Realm would open in three years and that even Eighth Steps could die there, so he planned to strengthen Abyss by selling its Name Holding rights. Butler 001 agreed to have the Myriad Worlds Merchant House promote Abyss Name Holding, while Yang Yu and his companions left to prepare for the coming trial.

• Butler 001 warned Yang Yu that the True God Secret Realm would open in three years and could kill even Eighth Steps.
• World Suppressor panicked at the deadline, then learned that Yang Yu was not yet fifty despite having reached the Seventh Step.
• Yang Yu proposed selling Abyss Name Holding to Sixth Steps, linking Name Holders to Abyss so their power and insights would flow back to him.
• Butler 001 said the Merchant Guild's approval could take thousands of years, but World Suppressor pressured him to act immediately.
• Butler 001 agreed to open first-class Merchant Guild channels for Abyss Name Holding in the Vast Cosmos Hongmeng Great World, with a twenty percent service fee.
• Yang Yu left through a gray-gold gateway with Dao Venerable Qingxuan and Fairy Red Lotus, while World Suppressor urged 001 to advertise Abyss.

Yang Yu fused World Suppressor into the Abyss Core as its defense module, strengthening the Abyss while Wanji imposed employee rules that left the Primordial Spirit Treasure without pay. As the Myriad Worlds Merchant House spread the Abyss's name and new Name Holders poured in, Yang Yu began absorbing their Law insights to strengthen himself and the Abyss.

• Yang Yu ordered World Suppressor to release its core, and Wanji fused the seal into the Abyss Core Tower, upgrading the Abyss's defenses and granting its members World Suppressor's Protection.
• The God of All Machines classified World Suppressor as a probationary defense employee, denied it command authority and a salary, and threatened it with the Hongmeng High-Pressure Cooker; World Suppressor agreed to serve after Wanji addressed it as Brother Wanji.
• Yang Yu reviewed the Abyss Overview and saw that its branches were expanding, Little White had taken the lead in absorbing Chaos Placentas, and Cang had joined the Abyss under that name instead of Qiong.
• New Name-Holding Marks appeared across the Vast Cosmos Hongmeng Great World after the Myriad Worlds Merchant House promoted the Abyss, sending vast amounts of High-Dimensional Origin into the Abyss Core.
• Yang Yu ordered Wanji to seal the Core Layer and classify new Name Holders' Law insights, then compressed Origin, strengthened the Abyss Barrier, stabilized the River of Ages, and incorporated useful insights into his own abilities.

After three years in seclusion, Yang Yu reached the peak of the Seventh Step and awakened the Ultimate Abyss Wheel, a divine ability drawing on the power and experience of Abyss Name Holders. When an Eighth Step expert named Gu You attacked Little White, Yang Yu arrived to save her and confronted him.

• The God of All Machines reported that Yang Yu had reached the peak of the Seventh Step as more than ten million Abyss Name Holders strengthened the Divine Ring behind him.
• Yang Yu named his new divine ability the Ultimate Abyss Wheel, and its weight crushed an outer node of the Hongmeng Dao Wall.
• The Abyss Network detected that Gu You, an Eighth Step Return to One expert, was suppressing Little White in Hongmeng Block 10086.
• Gu You pinned Little White with Law Nails and tried to seize the Abyss Network, but Little White cursed him while resisting.
• Yang Yu emerged through the Void, freed and healed Little White, then faced Gu You's Return-to-One Domain.
• Gu You dismissed Yang Yu as a Seventh Step ant and demanded his Divine Ring, but Yang Yu declared that the Seventh Step was enough to kill him.

Yang Yu overwhelmed Gu You with the Ultimate Abyss Wheel, forcing him to unleash a True God Relic that ignited Yang Yu’s Origin. The attack appeared lethal, but Yang Yu was still alive after three breaths, leaving Gu You and the watching Old Monsters stunned.

• Yang Yu shattered Gu You’s Return-to-One Domain and Origin Dao Sea with the Ultimate Abyss Wheel, then kicked him and crushed his silver spear.
• Gu You transformed into a purple-gold Deity and used his True God Relic, the Eye of the True God, to attack Yang Yu after the Abyss Wheel nearly destroyed him.
• The Eye’s gray-white beam pierced the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal’s barrier and began burning Yang Yu’s Origin as Old Monsters watched from afar.
• Gu You and the Old Monsters expected Yang Yu to die within three breaths, but he remained alive, leaving them bewildered.

Yang Yu survived Gu You’s Eye of the True God by replenishing Origin faster than it burned, then used the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal to suppress Gu You’s realm and destroy him. After Butler 001 reported that the True God Secret Realm entrance had stirred early, Yang Yu decided to refine Gu You’s damaged relic himself and began heating it in a High-Pressure Cooker.

• Yang Yu endured the Eye of the True God’s Origin-burning flames because the Abyss Network replenished his Origin faster than it was consumed.
• Yang Yu summoned the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal, which severed Gu You’s Return to One Law and reduced him to the Peak of the Seventh Step.
• Yang Yu gathered the Abyss’s power and killed Gu You with a Gray-Gold Light Pillar, erasing his body, True Spirit, Origin, and traces of Causality.
• Little White returned to Yang Yu, and Butler 001 arrived to praise him and report that the True God Secret Realm entrance had shown signs of disturbance ahead of schedule.
• Yang Yu examined the damaged Eye of the True God and said he intended to extract its power and laws rather than wear it as a relic.
• Yang Yu placed the Eye of the True God in a High-Pressure Cooker and channeled Abyssal Flame beneath it as the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal and the God of All Machines argued over the danger.

Yang Yu burned through the Eye of the True God’s Eternal Barrier, negotiated with the dead True God who had left it behind, and gained the eye’s power along with a fragment of True God insight. After learning that the True God Secret Realm had opened early and held a path to godhood, he set out to claim its resources for the Abyss.

• Yang Yu ordered God of All Machines to burn the Abyss’s accumulated Law insights as fuel, making the Abyssal Flame strong enough to crack the Eye of the True God’s Eternal Barrier.
• A dead True God’s will appeared to Yang Yu and offered him a fragment of True God insight in exchange for a promise to awaken him after reaching True Godhood; Yang Yu accepted but bargained for additional compensation.
• Yang Yu refined the Eye of the True God, absorbed its energy, and gained its core Law, a gray-white Origin-burning beam, and a trace of eternity.
• Butler 001 told Yang Yu that the True God Secret Realm had opened early and contained a True God’s legacy and the Eternal Power needed to become a god.
• Yang Yu followed Butler 001 through a Bronze-rank gate into the True God Secret Realm, intending to expand the Abyss.

Yang Yu arrived at the True God Secret Realm with Butler 001 and provoked the gathered Eighth Step experts from the Calamity Abyss, Jin Court, and Myriad Worlds Merchant House. After Yang Yu deflected Tu Jue’s attack, the stone gate opened, and Yang Yu and 001 prepared to enter.

• Yang Yu and Butler 001 appeared before the sealed gate, where 001 identified the Calamity Abyss, Jin Court, and Myriad Worlds Merchant House factions waiting to enter.
• Tu Jue mocked Yang Yu for being a Seventh Step, and Feng Qi defended the Secret Realm’s matching mechanism while insulting Tu Jue.
• Yang Yu derided the assembled Eighth Step experts, then used the Ultimate Abyss Wheel to erase the pressure Tu Jue unleashed against him.
• The ancient stone gate opened, releasing an aura that suppressed the experts and revealed a dark realm filled with shattered world remnants.
• Yang Yu traded threats with Tu Jue and Feng Qi, then agreed to enter the True God Secret Realm with Butler 001.

Yang Yu entered the True God Secret Realm, endured its cultivation-suppressing pressure with help from the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal, and discovered that killing its beasts strengthened his cultivation. As waves of stronger creatures began to awaken, Yang Yu saw the realm as a chance to break through to the Eighth Step.

• Yang Yu crossed the Bronze Gate and found a continent formed from densely compressed laws, with a ruined tablet and the bones of fallen experts in the distance.
• A True God’s lingering rules suppressed Yang Yu’s cultivation, but the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal shielded him at the cost of three percent of its Origin.
• The God of All Machines reported that the realm locked down the rules of time and space, preventing Yang Yu from escaping or teleporting out.
• A Fifth Step Fierce Beast attacked Yang Yu, and he killed it with one punch.
• The beast’s refined power flowed into Yang Yu and strengthened his cultivation foundation, revealing that the realm rewarded those who killed its creatures.
• More Fierce Beasts approached from the Black Rift, including an even stronger awakening presence, and Yang Yu welcomed the chance to pursue the Eighth Step.

Yang Yu slaughtered the endless Fierce Beast horde with his Abyss Immune Behemoths before meeting Yan, a True God Descendant who invited him to a native fortress. There, Yang Yu encountered Tu Jue and other outsiders, and Tu Jue attacked him as the chapter ended.

• Yang Yu and his Sixth Step Abyss Immune Behemoths fought through the Fierce Beast tide for a day and night, but the beasts kept pouring from the Black Rift.
• Yan, a True God Descendant, approached Yang Yu and invited him to visit his camp, explaining that the Deadlands’ rules endlessly produced the beasts and that his people needed outsiders to hunt a terrifying monster.
• Yan escorted Yang Yu to a black fortress in the Godfall Deadlands, where Yang Yu learned that the natives strengthened themselves with Blood Qi and that a monster deep in the land was nearing awakening.
• Yang Yu entered the fortress square and saw Tu Jue, Feng Qi, and other outsiders, whose cultivation had been suppressed by the Deadlands’ lingering True God pressure.
• Tu Jue recognized Yang Yu and attacked him with an Early Eighth Step punch, and Yang Yu prepared to fight back.

Yang Yu defeated Tu Jue with one slap, then learned that the Remnant Tribe wanted outside experts to help kill God's Bane for its True God Pureblood. After Cang Gu sent Aya to his room, Yang Yu rejected her and grew suspicious that the tribe's plan was a trap.

• Yang Yu shattered Tu Jue's Black Tribulation Qi with a slap and sent him crashing into the City Wall, then Yan had warriors drag the injured outsider away.
• Cang Gu revealed that God's Bane had grown from the True God Pureblood and asked the outsiders to help kill it in exchange for a share of its blood.
• Yang Yu agreed to join the fight, and Cang Gu told the guests to rest before setting out for the Deadlands' core at dawn.
• Aya entered Yang Yu's room and revealed that Cang Gu had sent her in hopes she would bear Yang Yu's child, but Yang Yu refused and questioned the Leader's motives.
• After Aya left, the God of All Machines warned Yang Yu that the planned attack on God's Bane was most likely a trap.

Yang Yu followed Cang Gu and the Outside World cultivators to the heart of the Godfall Deadlands, where they found God's Bane bound on a vast altar. Cang Gu urged them to power a formation, but Yang Yu held back his Origin and prepared the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal as the group began.

• Feng Qi proposed a secret alliance with Yang Yu, claiming they should turn against Cang Gu and seize the True God's fortune, but Yang Yu privately rejected the offer.
• Cang Gu led the group through the Gray Mist and destroyed waves of Fierce Beasts with his bone staff, demonstrating his control over the Deadlands' rules.
• Feng Qi asked why Cang Gu had gathered cultivators with varied Origins, and Cang Gu claimed their conflicting powers could disrupt God's Bane's defenses.
• The group reached a vast altar, where they saw God's Bane, a mountain of flesh bound by chains of order.
• Cang Gu told the cultivators to stand beneath the pillars matching their Laws and channel their Origin into the formation, promising a share of Eternal Fortune if God's Bane died.
• Yang Yu stood beneath an empty pillar without releasing his Origin and quietly readied the World-Suppressing Bronze Seal as Cang Gu ordered everyone to begin.

Feng Qi and the Outside World’s Old Freaks destroyed Cang Gu’s Sacrificial Array, only to learn that their attack had completed his plan and freed a New God Larva. As the creature began devouring them inside Cang Gu’s Absolute Cage, Feng Qi and the survivors unleashed their ultimate Trump Cards, and Cang Gu hinted that the Gravekeepers possessed Primordial Spirit Treasures of their own.

• Feng Qi, Tu Jue, and the other Old Freaks attacked and shattered the white bone pillars instead of feeding Origin into the Sacrificial Array.
• Cang Gu snapped his bone staff, unsealed his power, and withstood the Old Freaks’ combined assault behind a golden barrier.
• Twelve True God Leg Bones formed the Absolute Cage, trapping Cang Gu and the Old Freaks while the Rule Chains around the flesh mountain broke.
• Cang Gu revealed that the Old Freaks’ destruction of the Array Core had opened the True God’s cage, freeing a New God Larva that devoured several cultivators and drained Tu Jue’s power.
• Feng Qi summoned the Void Mirror and rallied the remaining Old Freaks to unleash their strongest attacks against the flesh mountain.
• Cang Gu dismissed their attack and declared that the Gravekeepers also possessed Primordial Spirit Treasures.
