Chapter Summaries

After defeating the Rogue Knights, Zhang Yang sold their spoils, recruited new troops and workers, and stocked up on supplies for his growing camp. With his people safely returned and the camp expanded to 147, he withdrew to cultivate and prepare for a major troop surge.

• Zhang Yang distributed two Ancient Runic Shields, sold most of the loot for 8,300 Silver Denars, and sent Old Alec to recruit refugees and blacksmiths.
• Zhang Yang recruited five Gatu Raiders, five Noble Scions, and twenty Misty Mountain Barbarians in Mariansburg, then spent his remaining funds on supplies.
• Old Alec led patrols that drove off or killed people following the group, and his forces returned safely after a skirmish with a Rogue Knight squad.
• Zhang Yang organized the camp’s 147 people into soldiers, laborers, farmers, and support staff, then delegated camp expansion and training to Old Alec, Robert, and the others.
• Zhang Yang went into seclusion to visualize the Soul Nourishing Talisman and Dragon Soul Talisman and condense Pseudo-Dragon Tears.

Zhang Yang used Nudal Ridge’s Dragon Magic Power to strengthen his soul, sever Theo’s remaining imprint, and establish a camp that let his main body deliver memories and supplies. With the Azure Nether Realm under repeated attack and Antivirus Hunters approaching, he rapidly built a powerful force and fled Nudal Ridge.

• Zhang Yang activated seven altars to draw Dragon Magic Power from Nudal Ridge and advanced his Soul Nourishing Talisman to the seventh level.
• Zhang Yang used his Soul Force Field to destroy Theo’s final imprint, then established a Wanderer Camp so his main body could visit and share memories and Spirit Stones.
• Zhang Yang learned that the Azure Nether Realm faced repeated invasions and that his main body was preparing escape routes, leaving the alt account to prepare a fallback.
• Zhang Yang borrowed Pseudo-Dragon Tears from Nudal Ridge and advanced his allies into Gatu Warlords, Exploration Heroes, and Dragonblood Warriors, though several Mist Mountain Barbarians died during the effort.
• Zhang Yang ordered everyone to abandon camp and flee as the Antivirus Hunters approached.

After freeing Liu Hui’s Antivirus Hunter squad, Zhang Yang led his force to Nordo Forest, where he captured scouting parties and bargained for Nordo armor and weapons. He then reached Shieldwind Fortress in the Demon Lands, intending to hunt demons for their equipment.

• Liu Hui freed her Antivirus Hunters and sent Zhao Zheng, Tang Kai, and herself on separate missions to pursue Theo and seek support.
• Zhang Yang’s force reached White Deer Fortress, where his Dragonblood Warriors routed a Nordo Elf scouting party and captured its survivors.
• Over three days, Zhang Yang captured 124 Nordo Elves and negotiated their release in exchange for Nordo armor, longbows, arrows, and horses.
• Zhang Yang led his group away from Nordo Forest and reached Shieldwind Fortress in the Demon Lands to hunt hell demons for their weapons and armor.

Zhang Yang and his companions fought the demons near Shieldwind Fortress, but the World Will retaliated after he harvested their World Origin. He used the spoils to strengthen his group, then opened an exit and prepared to leave the world.

• Zhang Yang led his mounted archers to evade the demons' teleporting attacks and kill four teleporting demons, harvesting their World Origin.
• The World Will empowered the remaining demons and sent an enhanced golden-armored army against Zhang Yang, who consumed a Spirit Stone and used his talismans and magic to destroy the demons.
• Zhang Yang refrained from attacking the approaching army, gathered his companions, and concluded that the World Will had expelled them from the world as data packets.
• Zhang Yang spent World Origin to advance Kalli, Old Alec, his soldiers, and the Pendor refugees, while improving the coachmen, village girls, and wagons.
• Zhang Yang opened a massive hole where the demons had first infiltrated, revealing an exit, and prepared to leave with his group.

Zhang Yang led his subordinates out of Pendor World and into Firewall World, where he secured a mountain as a homeland and later claimed a magical iceberg. While shaping the iceberg into formation components, he discovered a wounded ice dragon frozen inside it.

• Zhang Yang broke through Pendor World's wall and brought his subordinates, wagons, and packhorses into Firewall World.
• After searching for an exit for three days, Zhang Yang found a dissolving mountain and used eight Spirit Stones and Demonic Language: Imprisonment to protect it.
• Zhang Yang woke Old Alec and the others to begin establishing a homeland on the mountain while he continued searching Firewall World for valuable remnants.
• Zhang Yang claimed a recently arrived iceberg, spending eight more Spirit Stones to protect it, then began carving it into nine ice spears for a formation.
• Zhang Yang found a badly injured ice dragon frozen inside the iceberg, and a massive eye opened behind him.

Zhang Yang and his forces fell out of the collapsing Firewall World into a hostile land overrun with poisonous sludge monsters. After a brief fight revealed the monsters’ strength and the value of the Black Crystals they dropped, Zhang Yang questioned whether he could farm and establish a village there.

• Zhang Yang found a ruined dragon trapped in ice and decided to carve eighty-one ice spears from the valuable iceberg around it.
• As the Firewall World twisted apart, Zhang Yang dragged the small mountain and iceberg through a gap and landed in a world filled with monsters.
• Zhang Yang ordered Robert, Bob, and Alec to lead their troops against the monsters, but the overwhelming, poisonous horde forced them to retreat into the Imprisonment Array.
• Black Crystals fell from the soldiers and cleared their poison, and Zhang Yang recognized them as energy crystals worth experience in the Pendor World.
• After seeing how badly the monsters’ poison had corroded his troops’ equipment, Zhang Yang doubted he could farm or establish a village in the fallen land.

Zhang Yang transformed his soldiers and mounts with wyvern Dragonblood, then used their new strength to wipe out a vast wave of swamp monsters. After the battle, he discovered that the monsters’ Black Crystals could be refined into Blue Crystals that restored enchanted weapons, giving him a more efficient source of resources.

• Zhang Yang enchanted a great axe with ice and transformed a Dragonblood Warrior by feeding him wyvern blood crystals and using spiritual energy.
• When powerful scorpion monsters attacked the Imprisonment Array, Zhang Yang led the twelve Dragonblood Warriors out and used fireballs and cavalry charges to defeat them.
• Zhang Yang established a Dragon Soul Altar and upgraded the talismans of his Imperial Guards, Blade Cavalry, and Exploration Heroes, then transformed their warhorses with wyvern blood crystals.
• Zhang Yang renamed the transformed troops and mounts, then led them in a renewed assault that killed nearly one hundred thousand swamp monsters while the soldiers killed another fifty thousand.
• Zhang Yang refined one hundred Black Crystals and 0.01 units of spiritual energy into a Blue Crystal that restored an enchanted great axe at a fraction of its usual cost.

Zhang Yang strengthened his defenses and transformed Alec and the other ranged soldiers into Dragon Soul Archer Cavalry while preparing his group to survive in the monochrome world. After two peaceful days without monsters, he expanded the camp, planted crops, and continued stockpiling weapons, unsure whether the silence concealed a trap.

• Zhang Yang built a second, stronger Imprisonment Array and used a Dragon Soul Altar to transform Alec and thirteen other ranged soldiers, then strengthened their horses and enchanted their Elf Longbows.
• Zhang Yang converted Black Crystals into Blue Crystals and used them to build a stone wall around the Imprisonment Array.
• When no monsters appeared for two days, Zhang Yang stayed within the defenses and ordered the five coachmen to clear land and plant wheat, which sprouted rapidly with spiritual energy.
• Zhang Yang continued carving Imprisoning Ice Spears, stockpiling three hundred as a concealed weapon in case the abnormal silence was a trap.

Zhang Yang’s alternate account discovered that his main body had apparently died and inherited the Death Black Sail, a Fate Point, the Village Building Order, and the stored sword souls of the fallen Azure Nether Realm. He resolved to rebuild steadily and fight for a chance to bring his people back through reincarnation.

• Zhang Yang’s main body endured battles in the River of Time as the Azure Nether Sword, hoping his alternate account could begin anew with the secrets he had left behind.
• The alternate Zhang Yang awoke from a nightmare of the Azure Nether Sword shattering and suspected something had happened to the main body.
• He found the Death Black Sail, a Fate Point, and the restored Village Building Order among his ice spears.
• Zhang Yang discovered that the Village Building Order held only Sword Souls Undying and contained 238,972 sword souls from the Heavenly Sword Clan and Azure Nether Realm.
• He mourned the dead disciples, resolved to seek their reincarnation and rebuild his foundation, and welcomed back the Brick Village Building Order.

Zhang Yang used the Brick Village Building Order to assess his soldiers and discovered that their strength and Law Concentration were lower than he had hoped. Before he could plan how to improve them, a steel War Fortress and fighter planes appeared, revealing that the enemy had switched to a mechanical assault.

• Zhang Yang reviewed the strength classification table and learned that the Village Building Order could accurately evaluate people and troops.
• Zhang Yang entered his soldiers into the Brick Village Building Order and found that his dragonblood units had lower grades and Law Concentration than expected.
• Zhang Yang worried that his remaining 33.5 high-grade Spirit Stones were insufficient to strengthen his army and hoped to use war to replenish his resources.
• A steel War Fortress emerged from the clouds, and Zhang Yang realized the enemy had changed tactics and deployed a mechanical legion.
• More than a dozen propeller-driven fighter planes flew over, leaving Zhang Yang stunned by the scale of the attack.

Zhang Yang used Brick to assess the enemy forces and learned that their low Law Concentration made the fighter jets and tanks vulnerable to his troops. He led a charge that destroyed enemy aircraft and tanks while advancing toward the War Fortress.

• Zhang Yang had Brick evaluate the Stuart Fighter Jets, Serpent Tanks, and Stuart War Fortress, revealing their weaknesses and low Law Concentration.
• Zhang Yang ordered his troops to charge the enemy infantry and had the Rangers target the fighter jets while he carried Imprisoning Ice Spears toward the War Fortress.
• Dragonblood cavalry withstood the fighter jets' autocannon fire, and Zhang Yang brought down three jets with Imprisoning Ice Spears.
• The War Fortress fired its secondary cannons as it advanced, but the blast that struck a Dragonblood Heavy Cavalryman only wounded him and he remounted.
• Zhang Yang's cavalry tore through the Serpent Tanks without casualties, and he fixed his sights on the approaching War Fortress.

Zhang Yang disabled the War Fortress’s movement and destroyed half of its main cannons, then followed Ban Brick’s detection to a plundered Sky Dome Human Race Gene Bank. He chose the Gene Bank over the Mechanical Cube and found four powerful deceased figures whose genes could be harvested.

• Zhang Yang crippled the War Fortress with Imprisoning Ice Spears, but its support pillars let it keep firing its main cannons.
• Zhang Yang broke through the fortress’s defenses and destroyed six of its twelve main cannons by trapping shells inside their barrels.
• Ban Brick detected a Sky Dome Human Race Gene Bank and a Mechanical Cube, and Zhang Yang chose to pursue the Gene Bank.
• Zhang Yang fought through the human soldiers and reached a chamber filled with empty coffins and four occupied ones.
• Ban Brick identified the deceased Witcher Erikson, Sorceress Alice, Eagle Eye Sniper Leo, and Stormwind City Captain Aston, and listed the genes they could provide.

Zhang Yang neutralized the War Fortress’s self-destruct threat by throwing the Death Black Sail into its reactor, creating fifteen tons of Mechanical Soul Gold. After his forces defeated the fortress, he left with the valuable spoils while the virus escaped.

• Zhang Yang used the brick slab to decompose four corpses, then raced through the fortress and killed 29 cloned warriors to reach its reactor.
• Zhang Yang bound the area around the reactor and learned that the Death Black Sail’s dark particles could produce Mechanical Soul Gold.
• Zhang Yang threw the Death Black Sail into the reactor, stopping it and preventing the self-destruct from detonating.
• Zhang Yang found a piece of Mechanical Soul Gold inside the emptied reactor and learned it was an intelligent mechanical body with high Law Concentration.
• The Dragonblood forces destroyed the fortress’s tanks, fighter planes, and cloned soldiers, but the virus escaped in a fighter plane.
• Zhang Yang’s forces recovered about thirty thousand Black Crystals, steel, and fifteen tons of Mechanical Soul Gold, which five Dragonblood Warriors hauled back.

Zhang Yang discovered his main body's final message and used the inheritance it left behind to strengthen his soul and body. After helping the flood dragon recover, he proposed that they become friends and unite against the Heavenly Court.

• Zhang Yang found his main body's recorded message, which explained why he had used the Fate Point, warned him not to sacrifice Little Cousin, and revealed the hidden True Realm Fruit.
• Zhang Yang unsealed Essence Soul Reversion and endured its painful inheritance, then used it to advance his Soul Nourishing Talisman and Dragon Soul Talisman.
• Zhang Yang repeatedly inscribed talismans on the frozen flood dragon while training, and the dragon gradually recovered as the steel wreckage outside disappeared.
• The flood dragon awakened and told Zhang Yang how the Heavenly Court had imprisoned and mutilated it for a future feast.
• Zhang Yang said that he and the flood dragon were both prey beneath the Heavenly Court and asked it to become his friend.

Zhang Yang realized the Azure Dragon and the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice came from the True Realm, and the memories and fury of his main body were unsealed, renewing his resolve to fight the powers that treated living beings as food. He used Blood Sacrifice Cousin’s luck to build a village that absorbed the iceberg, then endured the Breath of the True Realm until it fused into his flesh.

• Zhang Yang learned that the Azure Dragon was a carefully raised delicacy and that the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice was a True Realm artifact suppressing the surrounding world.
• Zhang Yang’s main body’s sealed memories and emotions surfaced, and he chose to fight the True Realm diners rather than flee.
• Old Alec warned Zhang Yang that pursuers were approaching, while Zhang Yang concluded the thinning clouds were caused by the iceberg’s influence.
• Zhang Yang activated Blood Sacrifice Cousin, buried the Brick Village Building Order, and ordered it to build a village to absorb the profound ice.
• The village-building system established earth meridians and dissolved the iceberg, revealing a powerful Breath of the True Realm that required a fleshly body to fuse.
• Zhang Yang grabbed the golden Breath of the True Realm and repeatedly healed his eroding arm with Spirit Stones until the power fused into his regrown flesh.

Zhang Yang absorbed the remaining Breath of the True Realm, raising his Law Concentration to 1.7%, then faced a prepared enemy force outside the Imprisonment Array. He annihilated the Black-Robed Monsters and Hammer Lizard Cavalry with Imprisoning Fire Spears and sent his soldiers against the Giant Boar Riders, while the Central Earth Meridian began absorbing the spoils.

• Zhang Yang absorbed the remaining Breath of the True Realm, and Brick warned that his projected body needed to reach 2.0% Law Concentration before his True Soul grew further.
• Old Alec reported that Giant Boar Riders, Hammer Lizard Cavalry, and Black-Robed Monsters had gathered outside the Imprisonment Array.
• Brick assessed the enemy forces, identifying the Black-Robed Monsters as Epic Realm S- rank spellcasters and the other cavalry as powerful war units.
• Zhang Yang left the array and killed all thirty-four Black-Robed Monsters with Imprisoning Fire Spears.
• Zhang Yang killed all three hundred Hammer Lizard Cavalry, then led his soldiers in a charge against the Giant Boar Riders.
• Zhang Yang ordered the Central Earth Meridian to absorb the collected Sub-Law from the fallen enemies, increasing its Law Concentration.

After repelling the Giant Boar Riders, Zhang Yang raised the Central Earth Meridian’s Law Concentration and began reviving sword souls and strengthening his troops with the Azure Dragon’s blood. The Dragonblood Cavalry transformed into Destruction Knights alongside their evolved dragon steeds, while the Brick warned that their strength depended on trust between humans and demons.

• Zhang Yang ordered his soldiers to fall back after they drove off the Giant Boar Riders, then used the Central Earth Meridian to reincarnate Zhao Xiao'er, Tang Dashan, Li Shuangzi, and Liang Xiao.
• Zhang Yang drew blood from the Azure Dragon to raise the Meridian’s Law Concentration, then used more dragon blood, talismans, and Spirit Stones to transform the thirty Dragonblood Cavalry and their mounts.
• The thirty Golden-Armored Elven Steeds evolved into Yellow-Scaled Dragon Steeds, and the transformed cavalry successfully rode them.
• The Brick assessed the combined unit as Destruction Knights, an S+ rank formation whose greater power relied on trust between humans and demons.
• Zhang Yang promised the Azure Dragon that he would not bleed it again, swearing in the Fisherman’s name.

Zhang Yang turned farmland into Beginner Spirit Fields and cultivated fifteen hundred spirit wheat seeds with a one-hundred-percent evolution rate, exhausting much of the Central Earth Meridian’s resources. As he admired the harvest, the Azure Dragon offered dragon blood and Flood Dragon Essence Souls in exchange for a third of it.

• Zhang Yang upgraded a thousand mu of farmland into Beginner Spirit Fields and used his Soul Force Field to sow and harvest wheat in successive batches.
• Zhang Yang refined the wheat through repeated planting until the final hundred mu produced spirit-grade wheat with a ninety-eight-percent average evolution rate and fifteen hundred fully evolved seeds.
• The thirty Destruction Knights repelled a large virus invasion while Zhang Yang focused on the wheat and replenished the Spirit Fields from the Central Earth Meridian.
• Zhang Yang asked the Brick to evaluate the harvest and learned that the wheat was Spirit Plants with three ordinary white Spiritual Marks.
• Zhang Yang decided not to plant more because the harvest had consumed nearly five thousand units of secondary laws and the fertility of five hundred mu of Spirit Fields.
• The Azure Dragon offered Zhang Yang ten tons of dragon blood and ten Flood Dragon Essence Souls for one-third of the Spirit Plants.

Zhang Yang learned that spirit plants could grant true spirit and traded ten of them to Azure Dragon for dragon blood. He used more spirit plants to strengthen his companions, then prepared to help four reincarnated sword cultivators and improve his forces for the fight back to the Fourth Sequence.

• Azure Dragon explained that spirit plants could grant true spirit, and Zhang Yang traded ten plants for ten tons of dragon blood.
• Zhang Yang distributed spirit plants to thirty-nine companions, greatly increasing their soul strength and enabling them to use the Soul Force Field.
• Zhang Yang assessed Zhao Xiao'er, Tang Dashan, Li Shuangzi, and Liang Xiao, then told the four reincarnated sword cultivators to focus on cultivation.
• Zhang Yang drew dragon blood from Azure Dragon into five vats and reminded it that it still owed him five tons.

Zhang Yang began preparing to establish his foundation and endured a trial from the Soul Sword Qi left by his main body, awakening a powerful Sword Soul Seal. He then witnessed the Azure Dragon cultivate the Great Dao Scripture’s body-refining principle.

• Zhang Yang completed a city wall around the Central Earth Meridian and taught Alec, Robert, Norton, Ig, Kalli, and the others two soul talismans.
• Zhang Yang entered seclusion and used the brick to face the Soul Sword Qi guarding the Demigod Blood, but the trial left him wounded and he fell asleep.
• After three days, Zhang Yang woke with a Sword Soul Seal and discovered he could release two azure swords that could grievously wound enemies from five hundred meters away.
• Zhang Yang noticed the Azure Dragon undergoing a spiritual-energy fluctuation and watched it shrink as mountain-and-river patterns appeared across its body.
• The Azure Dragon thanked Zhang Yang for preaching the Dao and called itself his disciple.
