Chapter Summaries

Zhou Lin destroyed the Prison Realm, but Gusara had already evacuated its inhabitants and prepared the Holy Realm’s Stone Pillar Forest as a defense. Zhou Lin attacked the fortress and hesitated to enter, while Gusara appeared to await his arrival.

• Zhou Lin used the Black Gourd to devastate the Prison Realm as Gusara ordered its inhabitants to relocate to the Holy Realm.
• Gusara anticipated Zhou Lin’s strategy, evacuated the Holy Realm, and waited for him rather than trying to stop the destruction.
• After more than a decade, Zhou Lin reduced the Prison Realm to ruins and infiltrated the sparsely populated Holy Realm.
• Zhou Lin attacked the Stone Pillar Forest with the Black Gourd, but its hundreds of billions of linked pillars dispersed the force of his attacks.
• Zhou Lin hesitated to enter the Stone Pillar Forest because of the time it could cost and the threat he sensed from Gusara, who seemed to want him to come inside.

Zhou Lin entered Stone Pillar Space and fought the assembled True Gods, but Gusara revealed that he had cultivated the Cosmic Envoy System and could wield a Slaughter Domain. The domain proved incomplete, leaving Zhou Lin facing a dangerous opponent whose full strength remained uncertain.

• Gusara gathered the True Gods in Stone Pillar Space and used its formations to empower their battle arrays against Zhou Lin.
• Zhou Lin endured the Blood Beast and Blood Dragon's attacks, then used the Myriad Phenomena Sea and a mental-will impact to disable the Blood Dragon.
• Gusara intervened with a crystal barrier to block Zhou Lin's destruction wave and explained that he had cultivated the Cosmic Envoy System in another universe.
• Gusara unleashed a Slaughter Domain that submerged Zhou Lin, but Zhou Lin realized it was incomplete because Gusara had stopped short of controlling the Universe Origin.

Zhou Lin was trapped by Gusara and the True Gods of Thousand Prison Universe, who combined their grand formations to seal him with a devastating tombstone. Zhou Lin realized Gusara had used the invasion to unite the True Gods, and Gusara turned on them after their ultimate attack left them weakened.

• Gusara's Blood Light Domain stopped Zhou Lin from teleporting while he helped the Blood Dragon and Blood Beast formations wear him down.
• Gusara kicked Zhou Lin off balance, allowing the True God Venerables to sacrifice their energy and unleash Heaven Devouring Burial.
• The Blood Beast's True Gods ignited their energy to use Eternal Burial, and the combined attack trapped Zhou Lin beneath a massive tombstone.
• Zhou Lin recognized that Gusara's real goal had been to unite the True God experts and began looking for a way to escape the seal.
• After the True Gods were left injured and drained of their origins, Gusara slammed both hands toward the ground and told them to prepare to meet their end.

Gusara slaughtered the True Gods and countless other beings of the Thousand Prison Universe to fuel his breakthrough, while Zhou Lin completed the Void Realm Dao and escaped the tombstone’s suppression. Zhou Lin wounded Gusara with the Black Gourd, but Gusara broke through to the Void God realm, forcing Zhou Lin to flee.

• Gusara used the formation and blood threads to turn the weakened True Gods and the beings in their Inner Worlds into blood food, while his two brothers watched.
• Zhou Lin continued studying the Void Realm Dao beneath the tombstone and completed it, creating a world independent of reality that let him escape its suppression.
• Zhou Lin found Gusara preparing to break through and attacked him at close range with the Black Gourd, blasting apart his chest.
• Gusara devoured the remaining Blood Sea to break through to the Void God realm, though the Black Gourd’s Annihilation Wave left him injured.
• Zhou Lin fled toward the edge of the Stone Pillar Forest rather than fight the newly advanced Void God.

Zhou Lin wore down Gusara by destroying the Thousand Prison Universe while Gusara healed from his injuries. After forcing the universe toward collapse, Zhou Lin returned to the Primordial Universe and received a flood of rewards and causal connections.

• Gusara struck Zhou Lin with his Blood Sea Palm Seal, but Zhou Lin survived and realized Gusara was too injured to pursue him.
• Zhou Lin sent his Second Avatar to destroy continents while his True Body used the Black Gourd's Annihilation Wave to hinder Gusara's healing.
• Over tens of millions of years, Zhou Lin dismantled nearly all the stars in the Stone Pillar Forest as Gusara's injuries gradually stabilized.
• With Gusara nearly healed, Zhou Lin disappeared, leaving Gusara to enter the Chaotic Void with his two brothers as the Cosmic Era neared collapse.
• Zhou Lin returned to the Primordial Universe, where his Prestige Value surged and he received rewards including the Thirteen Swords of World Annihilation and the Sword of Nothingness.

The Three Races and other Peak Races formed an alliance and considered exterminating the Human Territory if the Human Race refused to compromise.

The Zerg, Mechanical, Demon, Crystal, and Prison Races united with the Northern Frontier Alliance to pressure humanity over Zhou Lin’s killings. Zhou Lin rejected compromise with the allied powers and urged Lord of the Star River to bring the Northern Frontier Alliance into the Hong Alliance, then strengthened his soul with Void Soul Liquid as negotiations continued.

• The five superpowers brought the Northern Frontier Alliance into their coalition, and Lord of the Star River agreed that humanity should be restricted.

• Zhou Lin and the Human leaders divided responsibility for blocking the five routes, with Yuan Ancestor supplying intelligence and Zhou Lin assigned to the Prison, Demon, and Zerg forces.
• Zhou Lin teleported to the Zerg route and struck the Insectoid Empress’s Queen’s Palace with the Sword of Nothingness.

Zhou Lin demanded territory and concessions from the Peak Races, humiliating the Prison King and pressuring the weakened Prison Race to relocate or join the Hong Alliance. The negotiations continued as the Mechanical Race Father God asked whether the Void Realm Company would interfere with his race.

• The Mechanical Race Father God asked Zhou Lin to promise not to hunt the races after they surrendered their territories, and Zhou Lin offered either faith rights or an eighty-percent territorial cession in exchange for establishing a Void Realm Company.
• The Prison King protested Zhou Lin's demands, and Zhou Lin slapped him, declaring that the universe had a hierarchy and threatening to bury him.

• After more than a dozen Cosmic Eras, Luo Feng became a powerful Universe Master and obtained the Duan Donghe Inheritance, while the Divine Eye Race warned other forces not to oppose humanity.

After 720 million years of sleep, Zhou Lin awakened with memories of a dream in which he had cultivated and fought for hundreds of millions of years, gaining new insights into several Daos. He entered seclusion to digest his experiences, while Luo Feng returned eagerly to pay his respects and hoped to spar with him.

• Luo Feng became the strongest expert in the Cosmic Sea while Zhou Lin remained absent, and he regretted being unable to spar with him.
• Zhou Lin rejected the dream world, woke on Star Soul Divine Mountain, and merged his dream memories with his real ones.
• Zhou Lin recalled the countless battles and cultivation systems of the dream, where his Void Walker System had reached the sovereign level and he had opened the Material Dao.
• Zhou Lin's uncontrolled aura alarmed those around him, so he entered the Sky Gazing Tai Hao Tower to sort through his memories in seclusion.
• Luo Feng returned to Star Soul Divine Mountain, bowed to Zhen Yan, and came to pay his respects to the awakened Zhou Lin.

After reaching the True God Sovereign realm through the Causality Dao, Zhou Lin transcended the Primordial Universe’s River of Time and reunited with Luo Feng and Zhen Yan.
