Chapter Summaries

Yi Chen’s group raced to escape the Time Race while Titanbo and Poseis refined treasures that could block tracking. The Time Race lost their trail, but its elders circulated Titanbo’s image to identify him.

• The Time Race Second Elder sealed off the Seventy-Two District and used a tracker to follow the energy auras of the Supreme Treasure’s thieves.
• The Shadow Emperor fled with the Supreme Treasure while Poseis and Titanbo worked inside Yi Chen’s Mountains and Rivers State Diagram to refine the tracking-blocking treasures.
• Titanbo refined his treasure first, then helped Poseis complete the second one, ending the Time Race’s ability to track them.
• The Time Race Second Elder lost the pair’s trail and sent Titanbo’s image to the other elders, who spread it among Time Race members seeking someone who knew him.

Yi Chen and Titanbo tried to escape the Time Race’s blockade but found the Space Law sealed across the Star Field. Yi Chen then captured a Level 160 Time Race member in the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram and prepared to use his appearance.

• Titanbo ignored repeated messages from his friends, while the Time Race Second Elder concluded that he did not intend to surrender the Supreme Treasure.
• Shadow Emperor found that the Time Race had sealed the region, and Yi Chen’s Teleportation Array failed to overcome the Star Field’s spatial restrictions.
• Yi Chen sent Shadow Emperor to a nearby Life Planet and searched its Defense Restrictions for a suitable Time Race member.
• Shadow Emperor found a Level 160 Time Race member, and Yi Chen sucked him into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram.
• Yi Chen attacked the captive with Sword Qi, defeated him, and said he would borrow his appearance.

Yi Chen claimed the Time Race Supreme Treasure and used it to accelerate cultivation while hiding within the Time Race’s territory. When a patrol squad came to inspect his Defense Restriction, he disguised himself as the Level 160 Time Race member and cooperated with the search.

• Yi Chen extracted the Level 160 Time Race member’s memories, burned away the body, and learned the Time Race’s inspection procedures.
• Shadow Emperor gave Yi Chen the Supreme Treasure after canceling its Blood Oath, and Yi Chen bonded with it.
• Yi Chen discovered the Supreme Treasure could manipulate time and chose to use it to raise his realm while trapped inside the Time Race’s encirclement.
• Yi Chen and Shadow Emperor used the Supreme Treasure’s tenfold time acceleration to cultivate, while Poseis, Titanbo, and Marys continued without its effect.
• Two days later, a Patrol Guard Squad arrived to inspect Yi Chen’s Defense Restriction, and Yi Chen disguised himself as the Level 160 Time Race member and submitted to their tests.

Yi Chen disguised himself as a Time Race patrol guard and used the guard’s assignment to learn the defenses at the edge of the Star Field. With Shadow Emperor and Titanbo’s help, he crossed the large Defense Restriction and fled the Time Race pursuit.

• Yi Chen advanced to Golden Immortal Realm Level 3, left his Life Planet, and used Shadow Emperor’s stealth to travel to another planet.
• Yi Chen captured a Time Race Patrol Army member, extracted his memories, and discovered the member’s squad patrolled the edge of the Star Field.
• Yi Chen disguised himself as the patrol guard, joined his squad, and used its redeployments to map nearby Level 230 experts and Time Race Elders.
• Yi Chen sent Shadow Emperor the patrol routes and prepared with Titanbo, luck energy, accelerated time, and Top-Grade Immortal Materials.
• Shadow Emperor passed through the large Defense Restriction, triggering an alarm, then evaded the pursuing Time Race forces with Titanbo’s guidance.
• Shadow Emperor flew at full speed for more than half an hour, likely escaping the Elders’ encirclement.

Yi Chen escaped the Time Race blockade with the Supreme Treasure and brought Xi Li Te’s Divine Soul along. After extracting Xi Li Te’s memories, Yi Chen learned the identities of the Earth Tree Race Intelligence Department’s insiders and undercover agents in the Time Star Cluster and decided to give that information to the Time Race as compensation.

• The Time Race Second Elder continued the tightened search because he could not tell who had escaped or risk letting the Supreme Treasure leave the Star Field.
• Yi Chen and the Shadow Emperor stopped on an uninhabited planet, where the Shadow Emperor further damaged Xi Li Te’s sleeping Divine Soul and handed him to Yi Chen.
• Yi Chen put Xi Li Te’s Divine Soul in the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, completed a Teleportation Array, and escaped the blockade with the Flying Magic Treasure.
• Yi Chen infiltrated Xi Li Te’s Divine Soul and spent several hours using the Soul Searching Technique to extract his memories.
• Yi Chen learned that Ma Fa and Xi Li Te had managed the Earth Tree Race Intelligence Department’s operations among the Time Race and decided to give the Time Race the intelligence on its insiders and undercover agents.

Yi Chen gave the Time Race evidence identifying the Earth Tree Race’s spies, expecting the resulting purge to worsen tensions between the two powers. He then traveled to the Earth Tree Star Cluster to collect materials for the Fourth Generation Blessed Grotto Heaven and prepare a test against a Level 230 expert.

• Yi Chen told Titanbo to gather real-time news from loyal Time Race subordinates and stored Xi Li Te’s information about Earth Tree Race spies in an Immortal Mineral.
• Yi Chen had Shadow Emperor throw the Immortal Mineral into a Level 200 Time Race Expert’s secret chamber, where guards confirmed it contained information about Earth Tree Race agents.
• The Time Race Expert seized the evidence, isolated the guards who had inspected it, and went directly to the Time Race Intelligence Organization to claim the reward.
• Yi Chen returned to the Teleportation Array, reasoning that the Time Race would purge the spies and prompt the Earth Tree Race to retaliate against Time Race agents.
• Yi Chen teleported to the Earth Tree Star Cluster to collect materials for the Fourth Generation Blessed Grotto Heaven and planned to test whether Shadow Emperor, Titanbo, and Poseis could kill a Level 230 Earth Tree Race Expert together.

Yi Chen drained a Level 230 Earth Tree Race Expert's luck, then launched a surprise attack with Poseis and Titanbo. The target's top-grade defensive treasure withstood Poseis's first punch, leaving the assault unresolved.

• Marys collected rare low-grade Immortal Materials from his subordinates and gave them to Yi Chen, who stored them for later.
• Yi Chen chose a great lord as his Level 230 target and traveled with Shadow Emperor, Poseis, and Titanbo to the Life Planet where the target was located.
• Shadow Emperor infiltrated the target's heavily guarded cultivation site, and Yi Chen used the Luck Incantation to drain the expert's luck.
• Yi Chen gave the attack order, and Poseis and Titanbo consumed materials that boosted their strength and reaction speed.
• Yi Chen disrupted the target's Time Law, allowing Poseis and Titanbo to strike, but the target's Defense Shield held against Poseis's punch.

Poseis and Titanbo killed a Level 230 Earth Tree Race Expert inside a Defense Restriction, then helped erase the battle’s traces before Shadow Emperor took them away. Impressed by Yi Chen’s power, luck, and generosity, both considered asking him to extend their Life-Death Contracts.

• Poseis and Titanbo overwhelmed the Earth Tree Race Expert by exploiting their time-flow advantage and killed him with a relentless barrage of attacks.
• At Yi Chen’s instruction, Poseis and Titanbo collected the expert’s Space Stones and treasures and cleared away energy fluctuations and auras inside the Defense Restriction.
• Shadow Emperor concealed Poseis and Titanbo and took them away from the Life Planet without the guards discovering the battle.
• As they traveled, Poseis and Titanbo reflected on Yi Chen’s extraordinary talent, luck, and generosity, including his giving Shadow Emperor a top-grade Heart of Time.
• Poseis and Titanbo considered asking Yi Chen to extend their Life-Death Contracts so they could follow him for longer.

Yi Chen used Marys's Time Law knowledge to deepen his own understanding after finding the Supreme Treasure's insights too advanced. When Marys finished transmitting his comprehension, he asked Yi Chen to sign a new contract with a longer term, drawing Poseis and Titanbo's attention.

• Yi Chen ordered Bai Ruoxin to summon the top geniuses for teaching the eleventh New Cultivation Method in one month.
• Yi Chen brought the Shadow Emperor into the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram and began studying the Time Law within the Supreme Treasure.
• Finding the Supreme Treasure's Time Law insights too advanced, Yi Chen summoned Marys, Poseis, and Titanbo to help him build up his understanding.
• Yi Chen used the Supreme Treasure to accelerate time as Marys transmitted his Time Law comprehension, which Yi Chen received and studied over several days.
• After Marys finished transmitting his knowledge, he asked Yi Chen for a new contract with a longer term, and Poseis and Titanbo looked to Yi Chen as well.

Yi Chen arranged permanent Life-Death Contracts with Marys, Poseis, and Titanbo, then used Poseis’s Time Law insights to continue developing a cultivation method. He began studying the vast new comprehension, knowing the work would take time but could eventually strengthen the Great Flame Empire.

• Marys asked to sign a permanent Life-Death Contract directly with Yi Chen, and Yi Chen agreed after describing his future plan to invade the Earth Tree Race and make Marys its ruler.
• Yi Chen had Shadow Emperor cancel Marys’s previous contract and drafted a new one that permanently placed Marys’s life and death under his control.
• Poseis and Titanbo asked to sign contracts with Yi Chen, and they both signed new Life-Death Contracts.
• Yi Chen used the Supreme Treasure to give Poseis a tenfold time-flow boost, replenished his Immortal Power, and received Poseis’s Time Law comprehension over half a month.
• Yi Chen began carefully studying Poseis’s insights to develop a cultivation method that could eventually boost the strength of the Great Flame Empire.

Yi Chen completed the Eleventh New Cultivation Method Teaching for the Great Flame Empire’s citizens and top geniuses, then returned to studying the Time Law and assisting the Shadow Emperor. Meanwhile, the Human Federation continued expanding, while the Time Race’s Sixth Elder considered drastic measures after failing to verify intelligence about Earth Tree Race agents.

• Yi Chen began the teaching, warning that the top geniuses would struggle to advance beyond the first Profound Immortal Stage without a Fourth Generation Blessed Grotto Heaven.
• Over five days, Yi Chen transmitted his insights into Heavenly Dao rules and Law Power to the Great Flame Empire’s citizens, then spent about a month and a half teaching cultivation methods to more than two hundred top geniuses.
• Yi Chen ended the teaching, returned to the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, and resumed accelerating the Shadow Emperor’s cultivation and studying Poseis’s insights into the Time Law.
• Bunier and Breel led five level-210 Earth Tree Race experts in destroying hidden attacking armies as the Human Federation neared control of the Berserker Star System.
• The Time Race’s Sixth Elder learned that his subordinate had found no evidence confirming the intelligence about Earth Tree Race insiders, and he considered using force to verify it.

The Sixth Elder ordered Cross to use forceful memory extraction to verify the mysterious file, and they confirmed that Tuo Tai was an Earth Tree Race mole with a network of agents inside the Time Race. The Time Race launched a sweeping purge across its intelligence organization and the Time Star Cluster, leaving the Earth Tree Race’s infiltrators devastated.

• The Sixth Elder summoned Cross and Rivers, then led them to confront Tuo Tai, a Level 200 intelligence officer identified in the file as a possible mole.
• The Sixth Elder killed Tuo Tai’s guards, broke into his chamber, and restrained Tuo Tai while Cross forcibly extracted his memories.
• Cross confirmed that Tuo Tai was an Earth Tree Race mole and uncovered a Level 210 superior, six Level 190 agents, and more than a hundred loyal death warriors.
• The Sixth Elder ordered Cross and Rivers to eliminate the palace guards and directed other officials to arrest and control the agents identified through Tuo Tai’s memories.
• The Time Race purged infiltrators from its headquarters within half a day and expanded the operation across the Time Star Cluster, dealing the Earth Tree Race’s network a devastating blow.

The Earth Tree Race Intelligence Organization and the Time Race both escalated their preparations for war after Xi Li Te and Ma Fa were captured, the Supreme Treasure remained missing, and the Time Race's intelligence network was destroyed. Meanwhile, inside the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram, Yi Chen mastered Titanbo's understanding of the Time Law and prepared to create a New Cultivation Method.

• The Earth Tree Race Intelligence Organization discovered that Xi Li Te and Ma Fa had been captured, its Time Star Cluster network destroyed, and the Supreme Treasure lost.
• The Earth Tree Race Intelligence Organization began coordinating revenge, while the Time Race maintained its costly Star Field seal and both sides urged their subordinate races to prepare for war.
• Yi Chen spent two months digesting Poseis's understanding of the Time Law with the Supreme Treasure's time-flow acceleration.
• Titanbo transmitted his deeper understanding of the Time Law to Yi Chen, who studied it with Titanbo's guidance.
• After nearly a year of study and further practice with the Supreme Treasure, Yi Chen mastered Titanbo's comprehension and decided to begin creating the New Cultivation Method.

Yi Chen studied the principles behind Titanbo’s Time Race abilities and used them to begin creating a Time Law cultivation method. His first test slowed Little Golden Ball, but he judged the method too weak and conspicuous, leaving him to refine it further.

• Yi Chen asked Titanbo to transmit the usage methods and principles of the Time Race’s Three Innate Abilities, and Titanbo completed the transmission a day later.
• Yi Chen concluded the abilities functioned like Time Law formations supported by the Time Race’s constitution, then began deducing a cultivation method using Immortal Power and Time Law Power.
• Yi Chen produced a rough Meridian Cultivation Chart and chose Little Golden Ball as his test subject because it was lower-ranked than Marys, Poseis, and Titanbo.
• Yi Chen used the method on Little Golden Ball, and a milky-white glow slowed it to half its previous speed.
• Yi Chen identified the method’s short duration and visible, slow-forming glow as flaws, then resumed improving the Meridian Cultivation Chart.

Yi Chen perfected Control Time, a cultivation method that could accelerate or slow a target’s time flow tenfold, and tested its effects on Marys. It still hindered Marys after he resisted it, and Yi Chen estimated how its power would fare against opponents of different levels.

• Yi Chen spent several days improving his New Cultivation Method until it could accelerate or slow time flow tenfold, then named it Control Time.
• Yi Chen decided not to incorporate Time Regression or Reverse Space-Time because they would take too long to develop and offered little practical value to him.
• Yi Chen released Little Golden Ball from the Time Law’s effect, and Marys, Poseis, and Titanbo congratulated him on creating a powerful technique.
• Yi Chen applied Control Time to Marys while Marys’s Defense Shield was active, and Marys confirmed that it slowed his time flow tenfold.
• Marys tried to dispel the Time Law’s influence and managed to reduce the slowdown to about sixty percent, prompting Yi Chen to estimate how stronger opponents might resist it.

Yi Chen completed his Control Time cultivation method, began constructing Time Law Runes for a new Blessed Grotto Heaven, and learned that the Great Flame Empire had unified the Heavenly Spirit Star System. Meanwhile, the migrating Green Scale Race struggled with losses, pirate attacks, and internal divisions as its journey toward another star system faltered.

• Yi Chen tested Control Time on Poseis and Titanbo, confirming that it could slow even level 220 powerhouses and accelerate time for three days.
• After spending more than a year creating the method, Yi Chen began constructing Time Law Runes to build a formation that could speed cultivation in the Blessed Grotto Heavens.
• The Great Flame Empire's Military unified the Heavenly Spirit Star System, while the Human Federation conquered the Berserker Star System and invaded the Wind Riding Galaxy.
• The Green Scale Race's new Tribal Chief led more than twenty billion clansmen away from the Heavenly Spirit Star System after the Great Flame Empire conquered their home.
• Cosmic hazards and repeated Interstellar Pirate attacks weakened the Green Scale Race's migrating fleet, while declining morale and defections threatened to split the clan before it reached another star system.

The Green Scale Race Tribal Chief responded to an attack by interstellar pirates, unaware that their leader, Ruike, had discovered clues linking the Great Flame Empire to the Human Race’s peerless genius. Hoping to earn his way back into the Ten Thousand Hands Race, Ruike withdrew his pirates and contacted a powerful friend to help him report the information.

• The Green Scale Race Tribal Chief rushed to the south after Lord Manu requested aid, but found only a damaged Flying Magic Treasure and injured tribesmen after the attackers had fled.
• The Green Scale Race Tribal Chief mistook the attack for a pirate probe and ordered the Flying Magic Treasures to retreat while deploying forces to vulnerable areas.
• Ruike extracted memories from captured Green Scale Race tribesmen and suspected that the Great Flame Empire was connected to the Human Race’s peerless genius.
• Ruike decided to gamble by reporting his suspicion to the Ten Thousand Hands Race rather than spending a year traveling to confirm it.
• Ruike ordered his subordinates to retreat, then persuaded a Ten Thousand Hands Race friend to help him contact an Elder.

Ruike’s report led the Ten Thousand Hands Race to investigate whether the Great Flame Empire was Yi Chen’s vanished Great Flame Kingdom, but Yi Chen remained unconcerned and prepared to monitor the Earth Tree Race. In the Milky Way, Human Federation executives discussed expanding welfare benefits and worried about their standing with the Earth Tree Race after completing its warship orders.

• The Ten Thousand Hands Race Elder canceled Ruike’s exile punishment after Ruike reported discovering the Green Scale Race and linked the Great Flame Empire to Yi Chen.
• The Ten Thousand Hands Race leader dispatched warships to the Heavenly Spirit Star System to investigate the Great Flame Empire.
• Yi Chen told Bai Ruoxin to let the investigation proceed and sent Shadow Emperor to the Wind Riding Galaxy to watch Bunier.
• Yi Chen continued constructing Time Law runes in preparation for creating the Fourth Generation Blessed Grotto Heaven.
• Lu Qingxian and other Federation executives agreed to double public welfare benefits as they pursued plans to extend their hold on power.
• The Federation executives discussed the nearly completed Large Warships and feared losing their value to the Earth Tree Race once its demands were met.

Lu Qingxian and the Federation Executives assessed how the Earth Tree Race might respond after receiving its first batch of Large Warships and planned for either outcome. They settled preparations for defending occupied galaxies, then learned that the first batch of warships was complete.

• Lu Qingxian explained the risks if the Earth Tree Race no longer needed the Human Federation, including the Shadow Emperor, Yi Chen, and the Various Races.
• Lu Qingxian presented plans to persuade Bunier and the other Earth Tree Race experts to remain, and the Federation Executives approved them.
• Lu Qingxian outlined how the Federation would judge the Earth Tree Race's future needs by its response to the first batch of Large Warships.
• The Federation Executives approved plans to build defensive networks in the galaxies the Military had occupied and settled the details after lengthy discussions.
• Lu Qingxian received confirmation that the first batch of Large Warships for the Earth Tree Race had been completed.

The Human Federation told Bunier that it had completed ten million Large Warships and trained ten billion operators, prompting the Earth Tree Race to arrange an urgent escort mission. Bunier and Blake prepared to lead the fleet to the Supercluster, while reinforcements and supplies would later return with them to aid the Human Federation.

• Lu Qingxian informed Bunier that the Human Federation had finished building ten million Large Warships and training ten billion operators.
• Bunier told Lu Qingxian to gather the fleet and crews, and said Blake would return to the Milky Way to help guard them.
• Bunier contacted his superior, who convened External Affairs Department leaders and coordinated a reception plan with the War Affairs Department and the Ninth Elder.
• The External Affairs Department ordered Bunier and Blake to escort the fleet to the Supercluster with three level-210 powerhouses, while two stayed behind to protect the Human Federation.
• Bunier was told to bring reinforcements, resources, and treasures back to the Local Galaxy Cluster after the fleet handover, while the Human Federation continued building ships and training operators.
