Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “Take the Third Step and Become a Super Saiyan God”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang gathers exactly 200 Wood Crystals from the Meteorite Star spaceship after Babata explains their uses. The crystals can:
  • Help powerful War Gods break through to the planetary level.
  • Strengthen the cells and genetic energy of planetary-level beings.
  • Support intensive training by supplying energy to a Gravity Chamber.
  • Work on humans, Spirit Readers, and monsters alike.
• Zhu Mang reflects on how he used Tree of Might fruits and cultivation to raise Hancock and Kalifa to roughly immortal-level physical strength. However, because their power relies heavily on external resources, they have limited future potential. He deliberately avoids doing the same to Blobin, who still pursues his own ambitions.
• As Zhu Mang travels deeper into the spaceship, he encounters the corpses of Hu Yanbo’s immortal slaves, disciples, and an enemy mechanical immortal. Babata identifies them as members of the Meteorite Star lineage.
• Zhu Mang finally sees Hu Yanbo’s body. Babata explains that Hu Yanbo belonged to the Lunke race, one of humanity’s top bloodlines, whose members can naturally reach the universe level.
• Zhu Mang compares the Swallowed Star universe with Dragon Ball, noting that Swallowed Star has vastly greater population diversity and a much larger number of powerful races, while Dragon Ball races often possess far faster growth rates.
• Zhu Mang recognizes his greatest advantage: because he travels between worlds, he is not bound by any single universe’s rules. He can combine Saiyan biology, ki, Haki, magic, Namekian techniques, and Swallowed Star cultivation systems.
• Zhu Mang studies Hu Yanbo’s three major spiritual secret techniques:

Six Radiances

Soul Imprint

Void Tower

• Although these techniques are protected by inheritance restrictions, Zhu Mang easily bypasses them due to his vastly superior realm and spiritual power. Babata is shocked and begins suspecting that Zhu Mang is far beyond the immortal level.
• Zhu Mang analyzes Six Radiances, discovering that it is more versatile than simply burning the souls of five sacrificers to empower a sixth person. Its complete form contains 108 formations, including one that temporarily combines the strength of five people into another individual without killing them.
• This reminds Zhu Mang of the Saiyan ritual that gathers the power of five righteous Saiyans to create a Super Saiyan God. He concludes that the Six Radiances principle may provide the foundation needed to perform the transformation himself.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang becomes increasingly aware that his greatest strength lies not merely in his Saiyan bloodline, but in his ability to synthesize the advantages of multiple universes. He seeks to integrate Swallowed Star spiritual techniques into his existing spiritual power system and use them to comprehend higher-level laws.
• His ambition expands beyond ordinary strength. He now aims to improve simultaneously in physical power, spiritual techniques, and the comprehension of universal laws.
• Hancock and Kalifa are established as powerful but externally enhanced fighters. Their loyalty is centered more on remaining with Zhu Mang than on pursuing independent cultivation.
• Blobin is treated differently because he still has personal dreams and the potential for genuine growth. Zhu Mang refuses to sacrifice that potential for rapid power.
• Babata shifts from confidence to alarm. Zhu Mang’s ability to copy Hu Yanbo’s protected spiritual techniques makes her suspect that he may be far stronger than an ordinary immortal, perhaps even beyond her understanding.

Significant Themes

• Combining the strengths of different worlds: Zhu Mang’s power comes from integrating systems that would normally be restricted to separate universes.
• External power versus personal growth: Hancock and Kalifa gain immense strength quickly, but their dependence on treasures limits their future development. This contrasts with characters who cultivate their own potential.
• The vastness of the Swallowed Star universe: The chapter emphasizes its enormous population, numerous races, and abundance of elite cultivators compared with the Dragon Ball universe.
• Transcending universal rules: Zhu Mang’s world-traveling ability allows him to escape the limitations that bind ordinary inhabitants of each setting.
• Sacrifice and shared power: Six Radiances and the Super Saiyan God ritual both involve combining the strength of several individuals into one. The chapter explores how collective power can produce a higher form of evolution.
• Pursuit of comprehensive strength: Zhu Mang does not want to rely solely on physical power; he also seeks spiritual mastery and an understanding of universal laws.

Important Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang and Babata discuss the nature and value of the Wood Crystals, with Babata providing information while Zhu Mang evaluates how they can benefit his family.
• Babata reluctantly reveals Hu Yanbo’s corpse and explains the superiority of the Lunke bloodline, while Zhu Mang compares it to Saiyans and Namekians.
• Zhu Mang’s examination of Hu Yanbo’s spiritual techniques directly undermines Babata’s expectations. She believes the inheritance restrictions should prevent him from learning them, but he bypasses them effortlessly.
• The chapter ends with Zhu Mang connecting Babata’s explanation of Six Radiances to the Saiyan god ritual. Inspired by the parallel, he decides to attempt the transformation into a Super Saiyan God by gathering and fusing the power of five other people.

Chapter Summary: “Robbing Babata”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang obtains the remaining treasures from the Meteorite Star inheritance, including:
  • Soul Imprint, a powerful technique for spiritually enslaving others.
  • Void Tower, a seven-level soul-defense technique that protects the soul core.
  • Hu Yanbo’s Star Map, covering more than a dozen cosmic countries and over a billion galaxies.
• The chapter explains the three major spirit-reader paths in the Swallowed Star universe:
  • Controllers, who manipulate weapons and matter.
  • Illusionists, who attack or alter consciousness.
  • Beast Tamers, who enslave lifeforms through spiritual brands.
• Zhu Mang considers using Soul Imprint on Majin Buu, believing Buu’s immense growth potential could make him a valuable ally or dangerous enemy.
• After questioning the limited Star Map, Zhu Mang learns that it actually covers an enormous region of space. Babata explains the hierarchy of cosmic civilizations, from elementary empires such as the Silver-Blue Empire to advanced cosmic countries such as Ganwu.
• Zhu Mang reveals that Luo Feng is the ideal successor to Meteorite Star and hints that Luo Feng may eventually resurrect Hu Yanbo. He then leaves using Instant Transmission.
• Babata, shocked by this information, begins searching Earth’s networks for Luo Feng, unaware that he currently exists as only a low-level warrior.
• Zhu Mang returns to his manor and redistributes the wood crystals:
  • He keeps some for himself.
  • Vegapunk and Womi receive crystals for research.
  • Bulobin receives twenty.
  • Bai Yuekui and the people of Dragonbone Village receive ten.
• Zhu Mang realizes that objects from different worlds may conflict when absorbed directly. He therefore plans to process the crystals within his inner world, allowing them to be purified and marked with his own power.
• He discovers Bulobin sparring with Luo Feng, whose cultivation has advanced rapidly because of his spirit-reader talent, purchased resources, and the financial support gained through Bulobin’s earlier contribution.
• Zhu Mang gives Bulobin the Meteorite Star spiritual techniques before returning home to absorb his own wood crystals.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang becomes more strategic and cautious about integrating treasures from different worlds. Rather than merely distributing the wood crystals, he develops a method to neutralize their foreign-world properties and make them safer for his people.
• He also shows greater long-term planning by considering Soul Imprint’s use on potential threats such as Majin Buu and by cultivating Luo Feng as a future inheritor of Meteorite Star.
• Babata shifts from suspicion and anger toward surprise and intense curiosity after learning about Luo Feng’s potential and Hu Yanbo’s possible resurrection. She begins actively investigating Luo Feng.
• Luo Feng is revealed to be progressing far faster than in the original timeline. He has already reached the War God level only months after entering martial cultivation.
• Bulobin gains access to advanced spiritual cultivation methods and continues developing under Zhu Mang’s guidance.
• Vegapunk and Womi take on a research role, studying wood crystals and their effects.
• Bai Yuekui and the Dragonbone Village survivors choose to remain in Zhu Mang’s world and receive resources to improve their strength.

Significant Themes

• Power and control: Soul Imprint represents absolute spiritual domination, raising the distinction between ordinary hypnosis and true enslavement.
• Inheritance and destiny: Luo Feng is positioned as the future successor to Hu Yanbo’s legacy, despite currently being unknown to Babata.
• Scale of the universe: The discussion of cosmic countries emphasizes the vastness and complexity of the Swallowed Star setting.
• Cross-world compatibility: Zhu Mang’s concern over conflicting energies highlights the dangers of mixing powers and artifacts from different universes.
• Long-term preparation: Zhu Mang consistently prioritizes future threats, alliances, research, and the sustainable growth of his companions.
• Potential versus current strength: Majin Buu and Luo Feng are valued not for their present power, but for their extraordinary capacity to grow.

Important Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang and Babata: Zhu Mang challenges Babata about the Star Map, then shocks her by naming Luo Feng as Hu Yanbo’s potential successor and suggesting Hu Yanbo could be resurrected.
• Zhu Mang and Vegapunk/Womi: He entrusts them with wood crystals for experimentation and adopts Vegapunk’s proposal to process the crystals in his inner world.
• Zhu Mang and Bai Yuekui: He consults her about whether her people wish to remain in his world and rewards them with wood crystals.
• Zhu Mang and Bulobin: Zhu Mang gives Bulobin both valuable resources and the Meteorite Star’s spiritual secret techniques.
• Bulobin and Luo Feng: Their sparring demonstrates Bulobin’s training and Luo Feng’s rapid rise. Bulobin’s earlier assistance with the Fire Hammer Squad indirectly helped accelerate Luo Feng’s development.

Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang tests whether he can cultivate using the Swallowed Star universe’s genetic martial arts by absorbing Muya Crystals through the basic “Five Hearts Facing Heaven” meditation method.
• The method works, but the initial increase is extremely small because Zhu Mang already possesses a combat foundation of roughly 300 million.
• He realizes that genetic martial arts can strengthen his body at the cellular and genetic level, filling previously inaccessible “gaps” in his physical foundation. He plans to progress gradually through the realms from Planetary to Undying rather than immediately seeking higher-level treasures.
• Zhu Mang considers obtaining the Virtual Universe Company’s powerful nutrient solutions but decides instead to exploit his Saiyan nature and rob criminal organizations, while avoiding indiscriminate slaughter.
• His restraint is motivated partly by his identity: he is mentally an Earthling rather than the original Saiyan Gebinz, and he intends to preserve this universe as a future domain for his son, Bulobin.
• After absorbing the remaining Muya Crystals, Zhu Mang condenses nine miniature planets, reaching Planetary Level, Ninth Rank in genetic martial arts.
• The new power system produces a dramatic chain reaction: although his ki rises only slightly, improvements to his body increase his foundational strength by nearly ten million, raising it to approximately 310 million.
• The auxiliary system identifies the Fire Phoenix Organization in the Ganwu Universe Country as a suitable target. The organization engages in slave trading, kidnapping, torture, and murder, making it morally acceptable for Zhu Mang to attack.
• Zhu Mang recalls that the organization’s strongest director, Pansi, may possess Locke Divine Water, a valuable healing and life-force treasure worth billions of Hunyuan Units. He wonders whether it might further support his genetic cultivation.
• The narrative then shifts to Beisi Star, where the Giant Tree Tribe has been enslaved by the Fire Phoenix Organization for more than a thousand years. The tribe must supply Rainbow Fire Grass or suffer mass punishment.
• A young prodigy named Long Lou, only thirty years old but already at Apprentice Level, Fifth Rank, attracts attention. His father, Long Feng, fears that the Fire Phoenix Organization will discover and seize him, as it once did to Long Feng’s gifted cousin.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang gains a new cultivation path in addition to Dragon Ball ki and Ultraman light. He becomes more confident and eager to explore genetic martial arts after witnessing its unexpected effect on his body.
• His understanding of power expands: he realizes that even tiny improvements in his cellular structure can trigger enormous increases in his overall strength.
• Zhu Mang’s moral position is clarified. Though willing to rob and attack criminals, he rejects indiscriminate destruction and carefully considers the long-term consequences for Bulobin and the universe.
• Bulobin, though absent, becomes an important motivation for Zhu Mang’s decisions. Zhu Mang views the Swallowed Star universe as the world most suited to his son’s future growth.
• Long Lou is introduced as an exceptionally talented but vulnerable young warrior.
• Long Feng is characterized as both the tribe’s strongest fighter and a protective, traumatized father who remembers the Fire Phoenix Organization’s brutality.

Significant Themes

• Integration of power systems: Zhu Mang successfully combines multiple forms of cultivation, showing that apparently incompatible universes and martial systems can coexist within his body.
• Hidden potential and incremental growth: The “cup” analogy emphasizes that even a seemingly complete body can contain microscopic room for improvement, and small changes can produce massive results.
• Power and responsibility: Zhu Mang possesses overwhelming strength but refuses to destroy the universe carelessly, treating it as both a future home for his son and a world with its own consequences.
• Justice versus criminality: His plan to rob the Fire Phoenix Organization frames violence and theft as punishment directed toward exploiters rather than ordinary people.
• Oppression and resistance: The Giant Tree Tribe’s enslavement illustrates how powerful organizations exploit weaker civilizations, while Long Lou’s talent suggests the possibility of future resistance.
• Parental protection and legacy: Both Zhu Mang and Long Feng act according to their sons’ futures, though one plans a grand cosmic destiny while the other struggles simply to keep his child safe.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang interacts primarily with the intelligent auxiliary system, directing it to locate criminal forces and receiving a detailed report on the Fire Phoenix Organization.
• His imagined future relationship with Bulobin shapes his choices, even though Bulobin does not appear directly.
• The Fire Phoenix Organization’s relationship with the Giant Tree Tribe is one of systematic exploitation: it forces the tribe to surrender resources and removes or kills promising individuals.
• Long Feng’s relationship with Long Lou is defined by paternal pride and fear. He is pleased by Long Lou’s extraordinary talent but worries that the boy’s abilities will bring the same fate suffered by his cousin.

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Giant Wood Tribe faces a deadline to pay tribute (Rainbow Fire Grass) to the Blazing Phoenix Organization, with severe consequences if they fail.
• A Blazing Phoenix Organization rent-collecting squad arrives early, aiming to seize more people as prey for a Hunting Tournament.
• Long Feng, the most powerful member of the Giant Wood Tribe, sends his son, Long Lou, to gather Rainbow Fire Grass in dangerous areas while he prepares to face the Blazing Phoenix Organization.

Character Developments

• Long Feng: The chieftain of the Giant Wood Tribe, he is willing to sacrifice himself to protect his tribe and their hope, Long Lou. He sends Long Lou away to ensure the tribe's future.
• Long Lou: A young, talented member of the Giant Wood Tribe, he is burdened with the responsibility of being the tribe's last hope. He matures and accepts his mission to save his tribe.

Significant Themes

• Sacrifice: Characters are willing to make personal sacrifices for the greater good of their tribe.
• Hope and Resilience: Despite facing oppression and hardship, the Giant Wood Tribe maintains hope for a better future and resilience in the face of adversity.
• Powerlessness vs. Strength: The Giant Wood Tribe feels powerless against the might of the Blazing Phoenix Organization, highlighting the stark contrast between their strength and that of their oppressors.

Character Interactions

• Long Feng and Long Lou: Long Feng sends Long Lou away to protect him and ensure the tribe's future, demonstrating his love and faith in his son. Long Lou, in turn, accepts his responsibility and the weight of his father's expectations.
• Giant Wood Tribe members: The tribe members work together to gather Rainbow Fire Grass and prepare to face the Blazing Phoenix Organization, showcasing their unity and determination in the face of adversity.

Chapter Summary: “Planetary Level? What Trash”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Fire Phoenix Organization members arrive at the Giant Tree tribe to collect “rent” and demand 400,000 tribesmen as punishment, despite the tribe’s offer of sufficient rainbow fire grass.
• Young Giant Tree tribesmen attack in rage after witnessing their chieftain being humiliated, but they are effortlessly killed by the organization’s ninth-rank planetary-level fighters.
• The old chieftain realizes the organization deliberately arrived early and increased its demands in order to plunder more people. To preserve the tribe’s future, he reluctantly agrees to surrender the required number.
• The tribe prepares its elderly, weak, injured, and disabled members to sacrifice themselves. However, the Fire Phoenix members reject most of them, allowing such people to comprise no more than twenty percent of the captives.
• This demand forces the tribe to surrender roughly 320,000 young and able-bodied people, dealing another devastating blow to its declining population.
• Long Feng returns and, knowing resistance is impossible, voluntarily joins the group being taken into slavery in hopes of protecting them or finding a way to help them later.
• The leading Fire Phoenix member leaves to request more slave ships and report his “success” to his supervisor. During the conversation, he is exposed as an arrogant oppressor before the tribe but a groveling subordinate before his superiors.
• Zhu Mang suddenly appears inside the spacecraft through Instant Transmission. He reads the man’s memories, confirms the Fire Phoenix Organization’s brutal system of slavery, and turns him to ash.
• Zhu Mang then kills the two remaining Fire Phoenix members guarding the tribe, instantly overwhelming all three planetary-level fighters.
• The Giant Tree tribesmen are stunned by their unexpected rescue. Long Feng recognizes that Zhu Mang may be at least stellar-level and warns him that the organization has even stronger forces.
• Zhu Mang explains that he intends to deal with the organization and suggests that the Virtual Universe Company may eventually take control of the area, restoring some of the tribe’s freedom.

Character Developments

• The old Giant Tree chieftain is portrayed as deeply self-sacrificing. Although he hates the Fire Phoenix Organization, he suppresses his anger and accepts unbearable humiliation to preserve the tribe’s long-term survival.
• Long Feng demonstrates courage and responsibility by voluntarily entering slavery alongside his people rather than remaining safely outside. His perspective also reveals the tribe’s helplessness: anyone who reaches planetary level is killed or captured.
• The Fire Phoenix leader is exposed as both cruel and hypocritical. He treats the Giant Tree tribesmen as disposable merchandise but becomes submissive and flattering when speaking to his supervisor.
• Zhu Mang acts decisively and effortlessly, killing the oppressors without hesitation. He dislikes the tribe’s instinctive submission and challenges their belief that kneeling before stronger beings is the only path to survival. His comparison to the Emerald God clan also reveals his belief that oppressed peoples must cultivate strength and resist dependence.
• The Giant Tree tribesmen shift from despair and resignation to shock and the first glimmer of hope after witnessing Zhu Mang’s intervention.

Significant Themes

• Oppression and exploitation: The Fire Phoenix Organization treats an entire species as a resource, demanding both valuable rainbow fire grass and living slaves.
• Survival versus resistance: The chieftain’s submission preserves some possibility of the tribe’s continuation, but the chapter questions how long survival through submission can remain acceptable.
• The cruelty of power hierarchies: The organization’s lower-ranking enforcers brutalize weaker beings while themselves humiliatingly obeying stronger superiors.
• Weakness as vulnerability: Zhu Mang emphasizes the “dark forest” principle that weakness invites exploitation. The tribe’s inability to produce planetary-level fighters leaves it permanently defenseless.
• Dignity and equality: Zhu Mang rejects kneeling as a permanent way of life and insists that everyone should have the right to strive for strength.
• Hope through outside intervention: The chapter contrasts the Giant Tree tribe’s apparent hopelessness with the sudden arrival of a powerful outsider who may dismantle the system enslaving them.

Character Interactions

• The Fire Phoenix members humiliate and threaten the old chieftain, killing young tribesmen to force his compliance.
• The chieftain and the elders quietly organize the sacrifice of their own people, prioritizing the tribe’s survival over individual lives.
• The Fire Phoenix leader dismisses disabled tribesmen as “trash,” provoking renewed anger and demonstrating the total lack of compassion in the system.
• Long Feng joins the captives and later kneels before Zhu Mang in gratitude, warning him not to underestimate the organization.
• Zhu Mang confronts the surviving Fire Phoenix supervisor through the spacecraft’s projection, mocks his feudal arrogance, reads his subordinate’s memories, and kills the organization’s agents.
• Zhu Mang then advises Long Feng and the Giant Tree tribe to abandon submission and pursue strength, leaving them with a new sense of possibility.

Chapter Summary: “Pack It All Up and Take It Away”

Key Plot Points and Events

• On Administrative Planet No. 20, the Fire Phoenix Organization prepares five powerful squads to attack Bess Planet after its collection team is attacked. Each squad contains a Stellar-level leader and numerous ninth-level Planetary fighters.
• Zhu Mang suddenly appears and destroys the departing forces with effortless attacks. Even Talens, the regional supervisor and a ninth-level Stellar fighter, is unable to resist.
• Zhu Mang kills Talens and searches his memories, learning:
  • The identities and locations of Fire Phoenix’s upper-level leaders.
  • The contents of the planet’s warehouses.
  • The existence of the Demon God Palace, an organization involved in abducting and selling sentient beings.
  • That nearly two million captives are being held on Administrative Planet No. 20 for an upcoming hunting event.
• Zhu Mang frees the prisoners, distributes money, and helps them obtain spacecraft to escape. Several abducted citizens ask to become his servants, but he refuses because they are too weak, instead allowing them to remain on the planet and summon him if necessary.
• He gives them the false or humorous name “Saiya,” claiming, “Wherever there is light, there is me.”
• Zhu Mang then targets Klach, one of the Fire Phoenix Organization’s eighteen directors and the Domain Lord-level ruler of the region.
• Klach is revealed to be profiting from the organization’s slave trade and hunting events while desperately seeking wealth and universe crystals to break through to the World Master level.
• Zhu Mang invades Klach’s palace, effortlessly kills his ninth-level Universe-level guard, restrains Klach, extracts his memories, and kills him.
• After looting Klach’s treasury—worth roughly ten billion universe coins in portable wealth—Zhu Mang takes control of or removes valuable resource planets. He selects more than one hundred planets for his inner universe, primarily for their beauty, scenery, or usefulness as vacation destinations for his family.
• With the appearances of the remaining seventeen directors obtained from Klach’s memories, Zhu Mang begins hunting them down as well.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang: Demonstrates overwhelming power and increasing decisiveness against the Fire Phoenix Organization. Although he is less ideologically driven than his eldest son, he is unwilling to tolerate slavery, exploitation, or people being harmed in front of him. He also shows practical generosity by freeing captives and giving them resources, while casually treating the organization’s wealth and planets as items to collect.
• Talens: Initially commands the regional forces with confidence but becomes completely helpless when Zhu Mang attacks. His memories become a source of information before his death.
• The abducted citizens: Their gratitude and desperation lead them to offer themselves as Zhu Mang’s servants. Their willingness to fight despite knowing they are outmatched reveals both courage and poor judgment.
• Klach: Is portrayed as a greedy, resigned Domain Lord who has spent tens of thousands of years pursuing wealth and universe crystals. His desire to advance spiritually is overshadowed by his involvement in the Fire Phoenix Organization’s criminal enterprises. He dies without being able to resist Zhu Mang.
• Doke: Klach’s loyal guard attempts to defend him but is killed instantly, emphasizing the enormous gap between Zhu Mang and even high-level fighters.

Significant Themes

• Justice and retribution: Zhu Mang’s attacks function as punishment against a system built on slavery, kidnapping, and exploitation.
• The casual cruelty of powerful organizations: The Fire Phoenix Organization disguises its operations as regional administration while profiting from slave trafficking and violent hunting games.
• Power imbalance: Fighters who are terrifying to ordinary planets are completely insignificant before Zhu Mang, highlighting the vast hierarchy of strength in the universe.
• Freedom and dignity: The release of the captives contrasts sharply with the Fire Phoenix Organization’s treatment of living beings as property or entertainment.
• Wealth and materialism: Klach’s obsession with universe crystals and financial gain exposes the greed sustaining the organization. Zhu Mang, by contrast, treats immense riches as convenient loot rather than his primary goal.
• Humor amid brutality: Zhu Mang’s “Saiya” alias, his comparison of the abductions to an interstellar scam, and his decision to collect scenic planets for family vacations add comedy to an otherwise violent chapter.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang and Talens: Talens submits in terror, hoping humility will save him, but Zhu Mang kills him and searches his memories.
• Zhu Mang and the freed captives: The captives ask to follow him out of gratitude and a desire for revenge. Zhu Mang rejects their offer but gives them a way to contact him.
• Zhu Mang and Klach: Their encounter is brief and completely one-sided. Zhu Mang interrupts Klach’s discussion of profits, kills his guard, extracts his memories, and destroys him.
• Klach and Doke: Doke acts as Klach’s subordinate and protector, but his immediate death demonstrates that neither his loyalty nor his strength can protect Klach.
• Zhu Mang and the Fire Phoenix directors: Although the other directors do not yet appear directly, Zhu Mang acquires their identities and prepares to pursue them one by one.

Chapter Summary: “A Killing Spree, Because I Don’t Like You”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang continues his campaign against the Fire Phoenix Organization, killing nearly all members who are confirmed to be cruel or complicit. He spares the rare innocents, usually people forced into service because of their origins.
• He devastates several territories belonging to Fire Phoenix directors:
  • On Fudi Star, he kills 36,237 people, sparing only eleven innocent guards.
  • On Ivy Star, only one person among Director Leka and his guards is judged innocent.
• The chapter highlights the organization’s atrocities, particularly on Dripping Water Star, a pleasure planet for the wealthy where slaves are tortured and killed in enormous numbers during regular “hunting events.”
• Director Li, ruler of Dripping Water Star, is furious that other directors have not arrived for an upcoming hunting event. He hopes to meet the organization’s powerful backer, the Ganwu Universe Country’s Seventh Prince, and use the connection to expand his influence.
• Zhu Mang silently appears in Li’s private room, drinks the wine Li had prepared for the Seventh Prince, and uses soul-control abilities to make Li reveal the prince’s identity and expected arrival time.
• Rather than immediately killing Li, Zhu Mang keeps him alive as bait while he continues eliminating the remaining Fire Phoenix directors.
• On Windguard Star, Zhu Mang kills Director Parimand and destroys his palace. When Parimand demands to know why he is being killed, Zhu Mang casually answers, “I just don’t like the look of you.”
• Zhu Mang learns that only one major target remains: Pansy, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Organization.
• Pansy is hiding on Asteroid No. 82 in the heavily fortified Bain Asteroid Belt. He senses that something is wrong after losing contact with nearly all the other directors and begins preparing to move his E9-class spaceship.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang grows increasingly confident and playful in his extermination of the organization. He is not merely carrying out a systematic purge; he now treats the remaining enemies as opportunities for amusement and experimentation.
• His motives remain morally selective: he examines memories to distinguish the innocent from the guilty, but shows no mercy toward those responsible for slavery, torture, or mass murder.
• Zhu Mang becomes intrigued by the possibility of confronting a true expert from the Swallowed Star universe. The Seventh Prince’s connection to the powerful Ganwu Kingdom Lord gives him a potential path toward testing himself against a Universe Venerable.
• Li is portrayed as arrogant, greedy, and status-conscious. He believes himself superior to the other directors, yet becomes helpless and obedient once Zhu Mang controls his soul.
• Parimand experiences complete despair as his overwhelming strength proves useless against Zhu Mang. His death reinforces the vast gap between Zhu Mang and the Fire Phoenix directors.
• Pansy is revealed as a former slave who rose through rebellion, cultivation, and ruthless ambition to become a third-stage World Master. His perseverance and intelligence made him successful, but he ultimately became even more brutal than the slave traders he once opposed.
• Pansy’s unease and suspicion suggest that, unlike the other directors, he may recognize the scale of the threat facing the organization.

Significant Themes

• The corruption of victims into oppressors: Pansy’s history demonstrates how someone who escaped slavery can become a worse tyrant once given power.
• Justice versus arbitrary violence: Zhu Mang kills those whose memories prove them guilty, but he also sometimes acts whimsically, as with Parimand, whom he claims to kill simply because he dislikes him.
• The abuse of power: The Fire Phoenix Organization treats slaves as disposable entertainment and deliberately exterminates talented slaves to prevent future rebellion.
• The gap between strength and authority: The directors possess wealth, armies, and political influence, but all of these become meaningless before Zhu Mang’s overwhelming power.
• Predatory social systems: The chapter presents a universe where the strong exploit the weak, while even former victims are encouraged to reproduce the same hierarchy.
• Anticipation of a greater confrontation: Zhu Mang’s interest shifts from simply destroying the organization to testing himself against a much more powerful figure connected to the Ganwu royal family.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang and Li have a tense but one-sided encounter. Li initially speaks arrogantly about the Seventh Prince, but Zhu Mang’s sudden appearance and soul-control ability force him to become a submissive informant.
• Zhu Mang mocks Li’s luxurious surroundings and casually drinks the expensive wine intended for the Seventh Prince, emphasizing Li’s helplessness.
• Zhu Mang and Parimand interact only briefly, but their exchange highlights the contrast between Parimand’s panic and Zhu Mang’s detached humor.
• The memories of the dead directors indirectly reveal Pansy’s history and relationship with the rest of the organization.
• Pansy’s lack of communication with the other directors creates suspense: he is isolated, suspicious, and preparing to flee just as Zhu Mang closes in.
• The chapter ends with Zhu Mang approaching the final stage of his purge, while the impending arrival of the Seventh Prince promises a much more significant confrontation.

Chapter Summary: “Harvest Worth 6.3 Billion Chaos Elements”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Pancy, the leader of the Fire Phoenix Organization, grows suspicious after numerous members and bases are mysteriously wiped out without any warning. Although he lacks evidence, he suspects that Li may have betrayed him and decides to travel early to Dripping Water Planet.
• Zhu Mang suddenly appears inside Pancy’s E9-class spacecraft, revealing that he was responsible for destroying the organization’s bases. His attacks were so swift and comprehensive that no information escaped.
• Pancy initially assumes Zhu Mang is connected to the Virtual Universe Company, but Zhu Mang denies having any relationship with it—or even having logged into the virtual universe network.
• Pancy attempts to escape by unleashing his World Projection, a powerful World Master technique. Zhu Mang destroys it effortlessly, revealing an overwhelming difference in strength.
• In desperation, Pancy summons his two hidden trump cards: the ninth-level World Master plant lifeforms Iron Vine Grass and Shaluo Flower. They transform the spacecraft into a deadly plant kingdom, but Zhu Mang destroys both with a single wave of spiritual power.
• Realizing that resistance is useless, Pancy gives up. He taunts Zhu Mang by implying that killing him will eventually bring trouble, but Zhu Mang reads his thoughts and crushes him instantly.
• After Pancy’s death, Zhu Mang collects the contents of his collapsed inner world and discovers a silver token containing a small hidden world.
• Inside is a massive lake of Rock Divine Water—approximately 712 cubic kilometers worth an estimated 6.337 billion chaos elements. This becomes Zhu Mang’s greatest harvest in the Swallowed Star world.
• Zhu Mang considers, but rejects, the idea of using the wealth to purchase a universe civilization. He prefers combat, freedom, and enjoyment over political power.
• The Rock Divine Water also provides the life force needed to advance Zhu Mang’s genetic martial arts cultivation.
• Through Pancy’s memories, Zhu Mang learns how the treasure was discovered. Pancy had unknowingly used the water to cultivate Iron Vine Grass and Shaluo Flower to the ninth level of the World Master realm, realizing that the lake was an extraordinary treasure but fearing discovery by powerful Immortal-level beings.

2. Character Developments

• Zhu Mang is established as vastly stronger than a third-level World Master. He remains calm, playful, and dismissive even when facing Pancy’s strongest attacks. His priorities are also clarified: he values fighting, personal freedom, and an enjoyable life more than ruling territory or accumulating political influence.
• Pancy is shown to be cautious, intelligent, and resourceful. He quickly analyzes Zhu Mang’s possible identity and uses his hidden plant lifeforms as a last resort. However, his confidence collapses when even his ultimate techniques prove useless. His history also reveals a rise from slavery through the accidental discovery of Rock Divine Water.
• Brobin, Zhu Mang’s son, is briefly mentioned as someone who may eventually enjoy ruling a territory or universe country. He is characterized as responsible and power-oriented, contrasting with Zhu Mang’s carefree nature.
• Zhu Mang’s enemies are portrayed as completely helpless before his absolute strength, reinforcing his progression into a near-unstoppable powerhouse.

3. Significant Themes

• Absolute strength overrides schemes and hidden weapons: Pancy’s careful planning, World Projection, and two rare plant lifeforms are all meaningless against a superior opponent.
• Treasure and opportunity change destinies: Rock Divine Water transformed Pancy from a slave into the leader of a powerful organization and enabled him to cultivate two extraordinary plant lifeforms.
• The danger of excessive wealth: The treasure is valuable enough to purchase thousands of intermediate universe civilizations, but possessing or revealing it could attract attacks from powerful Immortal gods or even the ruler of the Ganwu Universe Country.
• Freedom versus authority: Zhu Mang rejects the conventional path of using wealth to buy a civilization and become its ruler. He considers such a life dull compared with fighting and enjoying himself.
• Retribution and justice: Zhu Mang kills Pancy because of the hundreds of billions of deaths caused directly or indirectly by the Fire Phoenix Organization, presenting the extermination as punishment rather than merely a quest for treasure.
• Resource accumulation for cultivation: The Rock Divine Water is not only wealth but also a practical solution to Zhu Mang’s current genetic martial arts bottleneck.

4. Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang and Pancy: Their confrontation moves from suspicion and negotiation to open combat. Pancy tries to identify Zhu Mang’s backing, then attacks when he sees no chance of escape. Zhu Mang remains composed throughout, verbally belittling Pancy’s strength and ultimately killing him without effort.
• Pancy and his plant lifeforms: Pancy relies on Iron Vine Grass and Shaluo Flower as secret weapons developed over many years. Their destruction symbolizes the collapse of his final defenses and his belief that hidden trump cards can guarantee survival.
• Zhu Mang and Pancy’s legacy: After killing Pancy, Zhu Mang uses his memories to understand the origin and value of the Rock Divine Water, turning Pancy’s greatest secret into Zhu Mang’s greatest reward.
• Zhu Mang and Brobin: Although Brobin does not appear directly, Zhu Mang reflects on him as a possible future ruler, highlighting the difference between his own preferences and his son’s ambitions.

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang learns that Pansy’s immense debt—3.8 treasure points, worth an astronomical amount of chaos currency—has made him a target of the Moneyless Sovereign. Even the vast lake of Locke Divine Water is insignificant compared with what Pansy owed.
• Before dying, Pansy activates a prearranged spaceship program that sends a recording to the Seventh Prince of Ganwu, revealing that he possessed a treasure capable of rapidly strengthening plant lifeforms. Pansy hoped this would direct the prince’s attention toward Zhu Mang and make his killer suffer.
• Rather than creating trouble, Pansy’s scheme benefits Zhu Mang. The Seventh Prince is now motivated by the potential value of the Locke Divine Water—estimated at 6.3 billion chaos units—and is more likely to come to the Fire Phoenix Organization.
• Zhu Mang returns to Dripping Water Star, where the aftermath of his earlier slaughter is still being cleaned up. He decides to remain there and cultivate while waiting for the Seventh Prince.
• Using the Locke Divine Water, Zhu Mang rapidly advances his genetic martial arts:
  • He breaks through from the Planetary level to the ninth level of the Stellar level in less than half a day.
  • His combat power rises from roughly 310 million to 350 million, gaining nearly 40 million strength.
  • He then breaks through to the Universe level, undergoing a profound transformation of his body, soul, and internal energy.
  • His nine miniature stars collapse and explode into a galaxy containing nebulae, planets, and a central black hole, symbolizing his transition into the Universe level.
• After reaching the Universe level, Zhu Mang discovers that he has naturally awakened a domain, despite never deliberately cultivating one. Unlike ordinary domains, his seems to contain multiple attributes, including the five elements, wind, lightning, light, time, and space.
• Zhu Mang continues absorbing Locke Divine Water and advances to the seventh rank of the Cosmic level within a few days.
• At the ninth rank of the Cosmic level, his base combat power reaches 500 million, meaning the Cosmic-level breakthrough alone grants him another 150 million combat power.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang remains calm and confident throughout his rapid advancement. He views cultivation almost casually because his foundation and existing power allow him to absorb resources at an extraordinary rate. However, awakening a domain makes him realize that he may have previously underestimated the importance of Swallowed Star’s cultivation system, particularly the connection between domains and the comprehension of laws.
• His physical body becomes more refined rather than simply bulkier. His formerly massive, block-like muscles become more proportionate and controlled while retaining—and even increasing—their explosive strength.
• Zhu Mang’s breakthrough to the Universe level represents a major step toward his ideal of self-evolution, as he can now survive extreme environments through his body alone instead of relying on external qi or miraculous protection.
• Pansy is portrayed as calculating and vindictive. His final scheme demonstrates both his intelligence and his willingness to redirect danger toward others, though it ultimately helps Zhu Mang.
• The Seventh Prince of Ganwu is established as ambitious but politically weak. Having only recently become an Immortal God, he aggressively gathers followers and resources to strengthen his position among the more powerful royal princes.
• Moneyless Sovereign is indirectly characterized as extremely dangerous because of the enormous debt Pansy owed him, though he does not appear directly.

Significant Themes

• Greed and self-preservation: Pansy’s betrayal and the Seventh Prince’s interest in Locke Divine Water show how enormous wealth can drive powerful figures into dangerous conflicts.
• Unexpected consequences: Pansy’s attempt to avenge himself instead advances Zhu Mang’s plans by ensuring that the Seventh Prince will come to him.
• Self-evolution and personal power: Zhu Mang’s transformation emphasizes the ideal of becoming strong through one’s own body and cultivation rather than relying on external miracles or protective techniques.
• Resource-based cultivation: The chapter highlights the extreme convenience of advancement in the Swallowed Star universe: with enough rare resources, breakthroughs that normally take centuries occur in mere days.
• Power beyond conventional limits: Zhu Mang’s multi-attribute domain suggests that his strength and cultivation do not conform to the normal rules of the Swallowed Star system.
• Moral contrast: Dripping Water Star’s brutal entertainment industry and Zhu Mang’s mass killing raise questions about justice, violence, and whether overwhelming power can be used as both punishment and domination.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang and Zhu Mang’s commentator, Zhu Mang: The discussion clarifies Pansy’s debt, his death-triggered scheme, and the likely arrival of the Seventh Prince.
• Pansy and the Seventh Prince: Pansy had served the prince as a capable and daring subordinate but withheld the Locke Divine Water out of fear that revealing it would get him killed. After his death, he attempts to use the prince as a weapon against Zhu Mang.
• Zhu Mang and the Seventh Prince: They have not yet met in this chapter, but Pansy’s recording sets up their impending confrontation. Zhu Mang welcomes the prince’s likely arrival because it saves him the trouble of trying to lure him out.
• Zhu Mang and the occupants of Dripping Water Star: Zhu Mang has already slaughtered nearly two million people connected to the star, including wealthy visitors, guards, and participants in horrific acts of violence. The cleared corpses and ruined facility serve as the immediate setting for his cultivation.
• Zhu Mang and the Swallowed Star cultivation system: Through his breakthroughs, Zhu Mang begins engaging more seriously with concepts such as domains, laws, cosmic energy, and the evolutionary stages of the universe’s power system.

Chapter Summary: “Hiding the Life Core in Light”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang discovers that gene martial arts have improved not only his body but also his spiritual power. His qi and spirit have fused into a seamless whole, allowing them to strengthen and amplify one another.
• His apparent combat power reaches 500 million, while his newly accessible “hidden qi” provides an additional 500 million, giving him roughly one billion total potential combat power.
• He theorizes that the Saiyan bloodline is responsible for his unusual spiritual strength. He compares Saiyans’ natural power and transformations to the bloodlines of the Swallowed Star universe, concluding that Saiyans are exceptionally powerful lifeforms.
• Zhu Mang develops a new understanding of Dragon Ball’s divine power: he believes that godly qi may be spiritual power transformed after reaching a critical level, much like the transformation into an immortal divine body in Swallowed Star.
• He attempts to break through from Universe Level Ninth Stage to Domain Lord Level. Although he has enough energy, his black-hole-like internal structure refuses to collapse into a singularity life core.
• He realizes that the breakthrough requires:
  1. A ninth-level domain
  2. An initial comprehension of the universe’s origin Luoes
• Zhu Mang’s domain is unusually comprehensive, containing nearly every attribute. He traces this advantage to his previous research into Devil Fruits, which he now recognizes as manifestations of the One Piece world’s laws or Luoes.
• Using his understanding of Devil Fruit abilities and his existing knowledge of universal laws, he rapidly advances his domain. In about one month, he masters all ten universal origin Luoes of the Swallowed Star universe—an achievement that would take ordinary cultivators thousands of years.
• His internal black hole finally collapses, forming a golden singularity life core. His Saiyan Golden Great Ape and Saiyan Ultraman forms emerge during the process.
• Zhu Mang learns that the life core will eventually nurture an internal world, leading from Domain Lord Level to World Master Level. It is also his true life center: if it remains intact, his body can be restored, but if it is destroyed, he would truly die.
• To eliminate this vulnerability, he places the singularity life core inside the origin light shared by himself and Tiga’s light within his Saiyan Ultraman form.
• Because this origin light represents miracles and hope and can potentially revive even after destruction, Zhu Mang gains an extraordinary form of immortality. As long as traces of his light remain somewhere in a universe, he may theoretically reconstruct himself.

Character Development

• Zhu Mang gains a deeper understanding of the relationship between qi, spiritual power, bloodlines, and divine transformation.
• His confidence grows as he realizes that his hybrid abilities allow him to surpass normal cultivation rules and progress at an absurd rate.
• He becomes more cautious and strategic regarding his weaknesses. Rather than accepting the singularity life core as an exposed vulnerability, he hides it within his origin light.
• His ambitions expand from simply reaching Domain Lord Level to exploring higher realms and the nature of conceptual divinity.

Significant Themes

• Fusion and integration: Zhu Mang’s physical body, qi, spirit, Saiyan bloodline, and origin light increasingly merge into a unified existence.
• Cross-world power systems: The chapter links the rules of Dragon Ball, Swallowed Star, One Piece, and Ultraman, presenting them as different expressions of laws, origins, and spiritual evolution.
• Adaptation and synthesis: Zhu Mang’s strength comes from combining knowledge and abilities from multiple worlds rather than following one conventional cultivation path.
• Life, death, and immortality: The life core introduces a clear condition for true death, while the origin light provides a more abstract and nearly indestructible form of existence.
• Conceptual divinity: The chapter suggests that true godhood is not merely overwhelming physical strength but the ability to persist as a principle, light, or idea across worlds.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang reflects on his former enemy Pansy, admiring his preparation and ambition despite having killed him because of his extreme methods.
• He recalls working with Vegapunk to study Devil Fruits, a collaboration that unknowingly gave him access to a broad understanding of the One Piece world’s laws.
• His connection to Tiga is central: Tiga’s original light combines with Zhu Mang to form the Saiyan Ultraman’s origin light, which ultimately becomes the hiding place for Zhu Mang’s life core.
• He also compares himself with figures such as Son Goku, Vegeta, Dabura, and Ultraman Noa, using them to reason about spiritual power, divine transformation, willpower, and forms of resurrection.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang explains why he delayed returning to the Dragon Ball universe: he sensed an impending danger there and feared that unknown enemies—including the Supreme Kai of Time and a mysterious Demon Realm—might be targeting him.
• Although he had already reached Primal Super Saiyan 2 and possessed immense power, he avoided recklessly returning until he could unlock Super Saiyan God and further strengthen himself.
• His earlier revival method through the Saiyan Ultraman Origin Light carried a serious risk: resurrection might restore only his Ultraman aspect and erase his Saiyan side. After integrating the Life Core with the Origin Light, this weakness disappears, allowing him to revive as his complete self.
• Zhu Mang uses Locke Divine Water to extract an enormous amount of life energy, strengthening his Life Core. He also links it to his internal universe and creates a complete, living world within it.
• His cultivation rapidly advances from the first level of Domain Lord to the ninth level. His internal world becomes extraordinarily vast—nearly galaxy-sized—far exceeding what ordinary Domain Lords or even many World Masters can achieve.
• Upon reaching the World Master rank, Zhu Mang’s body and spirit fully merge, doubling his base combat power from 1 billion to 2 billion.
• In Primal Super Saiyan 2, his combat power rises to roughly 10 trillion. He then enters Super Saiyan 1, raising his power to 100 billion, comparable to a Universe Lord.
• After sensing World Force, Zhu Mang connects to the Origin Land of the Primal Universe and begins absorbing its vast energy. His inner world, already approximately five light-years across, continues expanding as he absorbs enormous quantities of World Force.
• The connection is abruptly severed, returning him to Dripping Water Planet. Zhu Mang is confused and humorously wonders whether the Primal Universe’s origin source could not endure his absorption.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang becomes significantly more cautious despite his overwhelming strength. He recognizes that the Dragon Ball universe contains dangers he cannot yet fully understand.
• His successful fusion of the Life Core and Origin Light removes his fear of permanent death or losing part of his identity upon resurrection.
• His body and spirit finally achieve complete unity at the World Master rank, producing a major increase in power.
• Zhu Mang’s internal world evolves from a mere resource-dependent personal universe into a genuine world capable of sustaining life, displaying his extraordinary potential.
• His Saiyan bloodline is established as an exceptionally powerful advantage in the Swallowed Star universe, where Saiyans may qualify as an Immortal-grade bloodline and potentially reach astonishing levels after adulthood or transformation.
• His son Brobin is implied to be on the verge of benefiting from this world’s higher laws. Once Brobin reaches the Planetary rank, he may fully “ascend” from the One Piece world’s limitations and unlock the Saiyan bloodline’s true potential.

Significant Themes

• Fear and caution despite power: Zhu Mang’s strength does not eliminate uncertainty, especially when facing hidden forces and unknown rules.
• Integration and identity: His fusion of Saiyan, Ultraman, and Life Core aspects symbolizes the preservation of his complete self rather than sacrificing one identity for another.
• Bloodline potential and evolution: The chapter emphasizes how bloodlines, life levels, and environmental laws can dramatically affect cultivation and future growth.
• Transcendence between worlds: Brobin’s possible advancement represents the idea of ascending from a lower world into a higher cosmic system.
• Accumulation versus innate advantage: Ordinary cultivators require immense time and resources to advance, while Zhu Mang’s bloodline, resources, and unique abilities let him progress at an unprecedented speed.
• Limitless growth: Even after reaching World Master and gaining power comparable to a Universe Lord, Zhu Mang continues pushing beyond established limits.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang reflects on the threat posed by the Supreme Kai of Time, the mysterious Demon Realm, and other unknown enemies in the Dragon Ball universe, though none appear directly in the chapter.
• His discussion of Brobin highlights his role as a father and his expectations that his son may inherit and amplify the Saiyan bloodline.
• The chapter compares Zhu Mang with figures such as Luo Feng, whose Golden-Horned Behemoth bloodline and devouring ability represent the Swallowed Star world’s conventional examples of rapid growth.
• Pansi, a previously defeated third-stage World Master, is used as a contrast to show how impossibly large Zhu Mang’s internal world has become.
• Zhu Mang interacts indirectly with the primal universe’s origin source, forcibly absorbing its World Force until the connection is cut off, creating the chapter’s humorous closing moment.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang discovers that the Primal Universe’s Origin Land repeatedly rejects and ejects him because he is an outsider whose absorption of origin energy permanently benefits another universe.
• Using his Instant Transmission ability, Zhu Mang repeatedly returns to the Origin Land immediately after being expelled. Each visit allows him to absorb enormous quantities of origin energy and universe crystals.
• He realizes that the force rejecting him is the Primal Universe Origin Will. It normally protects beings born within the universe, but views Zhu Mang as a dangerous thief.
• Zhu Mang continues exploiting this loophole. Eventually, after repeated intrusions, the Origin Will becomes desensitized and stops resisting him.
• Zhu Mang then plunders massive portions of the Origin Land, rapidly expanding his inner world until he reaches the peak of the ninth stage of the World Master level.
• His inner world grows to twenty light-years in diameter—vastly exceeding even the legendary inner worlds of exceptional World Masters such as Luo.
• Zhu Mang concludes that his strength has reached a level between a sixth-stage Universe Master and a True God, allowing him to defeat ordinary sixth-stage Universe Masters even without transforming into a Super Saiyan.
• He recognizes that future breakthroughs in genetic martial arts will represent true transformations of his life form. He anticipates becoming a genuine Super Saiyan God after reaching the Immortal level.
• Deciding that his previous plans are no longer necessary, Zhu Mang teleports everyone on Dripwater Planet who does not deserve to die back to their original locations. Those judged deserving of death—including the planet’s remaining enemies—are annihilated along with Dripwater Planet.
• Meanwhile, the Seventh Prince of the Ganwu Universe Country travels toward Dripwater Planet after learning that Pansy, leader of the Fire Phoenix Organization, possessed a vast quantity of Locke Divine Water.
• The prince intends to claim or investigate the treasure, but he also resents Pansy for hiding such wealth from him.
• Fearing that his servants and guards might reveal the existence of the treasure, the Seventh Prince kills them by detonating their slave chips. Almost immediately afterward, he himself is mysteriously killed, leaving only his silent spacecraft traveling through the Dark Universe.

2. Character Developments

• Zhu Mang: Becomes increasingly powerful and audacious. His ability to repeatedly trespass into the Origin Land turns him into an unprecedented cosmic plunderer. His enormous inner world gives him strength far beyond what should be possible for a World Master, and he begins seriously anticipating his transformation into a Super Saiyan God.
• Primal Universe Origin Will: Initially reacts aggressively to Zhu Mang’s theft of origin energy, repeatedly ejecting him. However, constant exposure to Zhu Mang’s intrusions eventually causes it to stop resisting, allowing him to loot the Origin Land freely.
• Seventh Prince of Ganwu: Revealed as ambitious, possessive, and ruthless. Although he benefits from Pansy’s loyalty and wealth, he immediately considers taking the Locke Divine Water for himself and kills his own attendants to protect the secret. His sudden death demonstrates that his power and scheming cannot guarantee his safety.
• Pansy: Though already dead before the prince’s arrival, he is characterized as a capable subordinate and political operator who supported the prince and helped expand the Fire Phoenix Organization. His concealment of the Locke Divine Water ultimately contributes to his downfall.

3. Significant Themes

• Exploitation of cosmic rules: Zhu Mang does not overpower the Primal Universe directly; instead, he exploits the limits of its defensive mechanisms through Instant Transmission.
• Unprecedented growth and cheating fate: His twenty-light-year inner world violates normal cultivation standards, emphasizing his status as an abnormal protagonist whose advantages surpass even legendary talents.
• Power and life-form evolution: The chapter distinguishes ordinary energy cultivation from genetic martial arts, portraying breakthroughs as transformations of one’s fundamental life essence.
• Greed and betrayal: The Seventh Prince’s reaction to the Locke Divine Water shows how wealth destroys loyalty. Despite Pansy’s service, the prince sees him primarily as a source of resources.
• The limits of authority: The Primal Universe Origin Will is immensely powerful but mechanical and rule-bound, while the Seventh Prince’s rank and influence cannot protect him from an unknown superior force.
• Moral judgment and annihilation: Zhu Mang decides who deserves to live and die on Dripwater Planet, illustrating both his overwhelming authority and his increasingly detached, godlike perspective.

4. Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang repeatedly clashes with the Primal Universe Origin Will, creating a comic yet dangerous cycle in which the Will ejects him and he instantly returns.
• Zhu Mang’s relationship with the Primal Universe is fundamentally adversarial: the universe regards him as an external thief, while he treats its Origin Land as an inexhaustible resource.
• The Seventh Prince’s connection to Pansy is based on political utility. He supports Pansy because the organization expands his influence and provides wealth, but he becomes furious when Pansy withholds a valuable treasure.
• The prince’s treatment of his servants and guards reveals his lack of trust: he kills them to prevent information from spreading, only to die moments later himself.
• Zhu Mang’s final judgment over the inhabitants of Dripwater Planet contrasts with the prince’s slaughter of his own people, presenting two different forms of absolute power—one framed as judgment and the other as paranoia.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang destroys the Seventh Prince of Ganwu’s divine kingdom. He crushes its projection, locates the real divine kingdom within the Ganwu Cosmic Nation’s Divine Kingdom Layer, and absorbs its remaining energy.
• Having reached the peak of the ninth rank of the World Master level, Zhu Mang realizes that the standard cultivation path of the Swallowed Star universe is no longer an ideal reference for him. His inner world is an unprecedented twenty light-years across, far larger than ordinary World Masters’ inner worlds and possibly even larger than some Masters of the Universe’s divine kingdoms.
• Zhu Mang considers whether to transform his inner world into a divine kingdom and become an immortal god. However, he hesitates because this process would normally transform his body into an enormous immortal divine body whose strength depends on its size. A massive body would be powerful but potentially slow and inflexible.
• He instead begins searching for a way to gain the immortality and survivability of an immortal god while preserving his current physical form. He appears to conceive a promising solution, though the chapter does not reveal it.
• Zhu Mang’s growth has raised his base combat power from two billion to twenty billion. His potential survivability is immense: even after becoming immortal, killing him would require power many times greater than his own.
• He compares his strength with major Dragon Ball Z figures, reasoning that his transformed state may allow him to contend with Z-era Vegito, though he remains uncertain about the exact mechanics of Potara fusion and the true scale of Vegito’s power.
• A tremendous breakthrough phenomenon suddenly spreads across the Primal Universe. A roar, golden light, and vast golden clouds appear throughout the Ganwu Cosmic Nation and beyond.
• Powerful beings—including immortals, Universe Venerables, and Masters of the Universe—are awakened. They initially speculate that someone is becoming a Universe Venerable or Master of the Universe, but the scale of the phenomenon is far greater.
• Chaos City Lord recognizes the phenomenon as a breakthrough to the immortal level, yet its magnitude surpasses even his own breakthrough into a peak fifth-tier Master of the Universe. The chapter ends with him wondering what unprecedented genius has appeared and which race Zhu Mang belongs to.

2. Character Developments

• Zhu Mang: He is shown to have reached a terrifying level of power and possesses an inner world far beyond conventional limits. Rather than blindly following the established path, he critically evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of becoming an immortal god. His confidence, analytical ability, and willingness to devise a unique cultivation method are emphasized.
• Seventh Prince of Ganwu: His weakness and poor foundation are exposed. Despite being royalty from a high-level cosmic nation, his divine kingdom is unimpressive and is easily destroyed and absorbed by Zhu Mang.
• Chaos City Lord: His reaction establishes the extraordinary scale of Zhu Mang’s breakthrough. Although he is one of humanity’s strongest figures, even he is shocked and unable to identify the person responsible.

3. Significant Themes

• Transcending established systems: Zhu Mang’s power and inner world have exceeded the normal framework of the Swallowed Star universe, forcing him to develop a path of his own.
• Power versus practicality: Becoming an immortal divine body offers immense resilience and near-unkillability, but excessive size creates serious disadvantages in mobility and flexibility.
• Immortality and identity: The chapter questions whether Zhu Mang must abandon his familiar physical form to gain immortal attributes, emphasizing his desire to preserve his individuality while surpassing conventional limits.
• Scale and exceptionalism: Zhu Mang’s breakthrough is portrayed as unprecedented, affecting the entire Primal Universe and attracting the attention of its most powerful beings.
• Speculation versus reality: Zhu Mang and the observers repeatedly estimate the strength of characters such as Vegito, but the chapter stresses that theoretical calculations cannot replace direct experience.

4. Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang directly interacts with the Seventh Prince of Ganwu’s legacy by destroying and absorbing his divine kingdom, though the prince himself does not appear.
• Zhu Mang internally compares his potential strength with Super Buu and Vegito, using those comparisons to evaluate how far his own power may eventually reach.
• Across the universe, powerful beings react collectively to Zhu Mang’s breakthrough, with confusion and awe spreading among immortals, Venerables, and Masters of the Universe.
• Chaos City Lord serves as the main observer of the event. His astonishment confirms that Zhu Mang’s advancement is far beyond anything previously witnessed, setting up the revelation of his identity and race in the next chapter.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang’s breakthrough releases an immense radiance across the Primal Universe, revealing a colossal golden divine body spanning dozens of light-years. His body is composed of extraordinary light and appears to contain the principles of light, space, and time.
• Chaos City Lord realizes that Zhu Mang, despite only entering the immortal level, may possess strength comparable to a peak sixth-tier Universe Master. The possibility that he originated from a higher-dimensional world is raised.
• Universe Masters throughout the Primal Universe awaken and begin considering whether to hunt and kill Zhu Mang. They hope to obtain his essence and study his connection to the origin Laws, much as they once hunted innate Beast Gods for valuable resources.
• Zhu Mang remains unaware—or unconcerned—that nearly every Universe Master has begun treating him as a potential target. He is more interested in testing his newly gained strength.
• He completes the transformation of his Saiyan Ultraman form into a “Godly Ultra.” By imprinting his will and the universe’s Laws onto every light particle in his body, each particle becomes an extension of himself.
• His merged divine body repairs the usual weaknesses of an immortal body. He can maintain enormous power while shrinking from a body larger than galaxies to human size without losing his physical advantages.
• Zhu Mang transforms into Super Saiyan God, gaining red hair, a solar aura, divine ki, a higher life dimension, and a sense of holiness. The transformation amplifies his power by roughly four thousand times, or about eighty times his Super Saiyan 1 form.
• After leaving the Super Saiyan God state, he retains approximately one-quarter of its power, increasing his base strength to around twenty trillion. However, his Primal Super Saiyan 2 form cannot yet combine smoothly with God Ki.
• Zhu Mang concludes that he may already be capable of fighting many Gods of Destruction and Angels in his base state, though he acknowledges that special techniques such as Destruction and Ultra Instinct make the strongest divine beings far more dangerous.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang advances from an extraordinary immortal-level being into a unique Godly Ultra and Super Saiyan God. His body, power, and understanding of light become fundamentally superior to ordinary immortal lifeforms.
• He becomes increasingly calm and confident. Unlike his earlier transformations, he experiences the Super Saiyan God breakthrough as a natural consequence of his cultivation rather than an emotionally exciting event.
• Zhu Mang also demonstrates growing ambition: he intends to fuse the Primal Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God paths, potentially creating an even stronger form.
• Chaos City Lord is shaken by Zhu Mang’s scale and power. He recognizes that this “new immortal” may already rival powerful Universe Masters and possibly come from beyond the Primal Universe.
• The various Universe Masters shift from curiosity to hostility, viewing Zhu Mang as both a threat to their resources and a potentially invaluable source of insight into the origin Laws.

Significant Themes

• Transcendence and evolution: Zhu Mang’s transformation shows that power systems from different worlds can merge and evolve beyond their original limits.
• The nature of light: Light is portrayed not as a passive element but as a medium capable of carrying will, Laws, identity, and divine power.
• Power and perception: Zhu Mang sees his transformation as natural, while the Universe Masters view him as an unprecedented threat or treasure.
• Competition for limited resources: The Universe Masters’ plan to hunt him reflects the harsh logic of cultivation, where rare beings are treated as opportunities for advancement.
• Fusion of different systems: The chapter emphasizes the unresolved but promising combination of immortal divine bodies, Saiyan transformations, Ultraman light, and God Ki.
• Divinity and scale: Zhu Mang’s immense body and sacred aura contrast with his ability to shrink into human form, suggesting that true divine power is not dependent on physical size.

Character Interactions

• Chaos City Lord observes Zhu Mang’s emergence and mentally compares him to Universe Masters, while also connecting him to rumors of a higher-dimensional continent.
• The Universe Masters collectively discuss and contemplate killing Zhu Mang to obtain his essence and uncover the mysteries of light, space, and time.
• Zhu Mang has no direct conversation with them in the chapter; instead, the interaction is indirect, with him unknowingly becoming the focus of their schemes.
• Zhu Mang interacts mainly with himself during his transformation, examining his new Super Saiyan God appearance and testing the relationship between God Ki, his immortal body, and his Primal Saiyan power.

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang breaks through to the Immortal level, attracting the attention of many Lords of the Universe.
• Lords of the Universe from various powerful races gather, including the Human Race, Demon Race, Hell Race, Zerg Alliance, Mechanical Race, and others.
• They converge near Zhu Mang's location, each with their own intentions towards him.

Character Developments

• Lords of the Universe: They reveal their strength and intentions, showing varying degrees of hostility, curiosity, or caution towards Zhu Mang.

Significant Themes

• Power dynamics and hierarchy in the universe.
• The allure of strength and the desire for power.
• The tension between different races and their interactions.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang interacts with the Heavenly Wolf Lord of the Demon Race, demonstrating his strength with a single punch.
• The Hell King of the Hell Race claims Zhu Mang as a member of their race, while the Heavenly Wolf Lord challenges this claim.
• The Lords of the Universe from different races show varying levels of hostility or caution towards each other, reflecting the complex political landscape of their universe.

Chapter Summary: “One Man Suppresses Four ‘Lords’”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Demon Race’s Lord of Sirius, the Bug Race’s Lord Bi and Lord Banff, and the Mechanical Race’s Lord Hengxian launch a surprise full-power assault on Zhu Mang, a newly ascended Human immortal whose strength is believed to be only comparable to that of a Universe Lord.
• Their combined attack tears through space across countless starfields and is powerful enough to force even the City Lord of Primal Chaos to retreat. The observing Universe Lords assume Zhu Mang has been annihilated.
• Zhu Mang survives effortlessly inside a crimson-gold barrier, revealing that his Super Saiyan transformation and physical power far exceed their expectations.
• Lord Hengxian attacks with an enormous formation of advanced mechanical weapons, including antimatter beams, spatial oscillators, and black-hole traps. Zhu Mang casually walks through the attack, neutralizing every weapon, then kills Hengxian with a single palm strike.
• Lord of Sirius attempts to ambush Zhu Mang from behind with a devouring singularity technique. Zhu Mang counters with one backhanded punch, shattering the technique and nearly dispersing Sirius’s divine body.
• Lord Bi uses the Amber Star Array to freeze space-time and sends millions of Bug Race warriors to attack simultaneously. Zhu Mang releases a crimson-gold shockwave that destroys the array and annihilates the entire swarm, then casually slaps Lord Bi away.
• Lord Banff unleashes a destructive stardust storm filled with annihilating laws. Zhu Mang destroys it with a roar infused with the life energy of his Super Saiyan God transformation, even purifying and erasing the embedded laws.
• With all four opponents decisively suppressed, Zhu Mang asks whether the battle was merely a warm-up, signaling that he has not yet fought seriously.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang: His overwhelming strength is revealed. He combines Super Saiyan physical power, immense speed, divine aura, and Super Saiyan God life energy. He remains calm, confident, and even exhilarated during the battle, preferring to draw out the excitement of his transformation rather than suppress it completely.
• Lord of Sirius: His confidence turns into shock and fury after Zhu Mang breaks his ultimate devouring technique with one punch. His greed and ruthlessness are emphasized when he attacks even though Hengxian is caught in the danger zone.
• Lord Bi: Her majestic appearance and sophisticated abilities contrast with her helplessness against Zhu Mang. Her army, spatial prison, and coordinated attack are all destroyed instantly, leaving her humiliated by Zhu Mang’s casual slap.
• Lord Banff: His pride in his annihilating stardust technique is shattered when Zhu Mang’s roar completely purifies it.
• Lord Hengxian: Initially portrayed as a precise, calculating mechanical intelligence, he becomes visibly disordered when Zhu Mang violates all of his combat predictions and ignores his weapon formation.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power versus conventional expectations: The enemies underestimate Zhu Mang because he has only recently become immortal, but his unique transformation and Saiyan strength place him far beyond ordinary Universe Lords.
• Confidence and domination: Zhu Mang never displays fear or urgency. His calmness and willingness to endure attacks reinforce the gap between him and his opponents.
• Physical force transcending techniques: Zhu Mang repeatedly defeats complex secret techniques through raw power—punching apart a singularity, erasing a prison with an aura, and purifying annihilating laws with a roar.
• Transformation and identity: Zhu Mang embraces the exhilaration of his Super Saiyan state while also possessing the deeper, divine power of Super Saiyan God, blending instinctive battle excitement with controlled supremacy.
• Humiliation of the arrogant: The four Lords arrive expecting an easy victory and shared spoils, but each is defeated by a single overwhelming response.

Character Interactions

• The four alien Universe Lords cooperate briefly against Zhu Mang, but their alliance is unstable; Sirius is willing to risk striking Hengxian, showing the distrust between the races.
• Zhu Mang directly confronts each Lord in turn, responding to their signature abilities with increasingly casual counters.
• His words challenge the attackers’ confidence, while his actions—destroying Hengxian, crippling Sirius’s technique, dispersing Bi’s army, and erasing Banff’s stardust—turn the battle into a demonstration rather than a struggle.
• The observing Universe Lords shift from anticipation of Zhu Mang’s death to astonishment at his effortless victory, establishing Zhu Mang as a terrifying new force within the Human Alliance.

Concise Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The four Universe Masters—Lord Sirius, Lord Bi, Lord Banff, and Lord Hengxian—recover after Zhu Mang’s earlier attacks and resume surrounding him. Although they can regenerate, they are now intimidated by the deeper power and control Zhu Mang has revealed.
• Zhu Mang announces that he will fight seriously and rapidly changes from a defensive style to an overwhelming offensive.
• He seizes and bisects Lord Sirius, briefly bites his leg, then destroys him with a remotely fired ki blast. Lord Sirius becomes the first Universe Master to fall.
• Lord Bi and Lord Banff summon enormous insect swarms, but Zhu Mang annihilates them with a massive ki sword. Lord Banff loses nearly half his body, and both insect-race experts flee in terror.
• Lord Hengxian launches a superweapon formed from tens of thousands of mechanical motherships. Zhu Mang destroys the weapon by punching directly through its energy beam.
• Zhu Mang unleashes a vast energy attack that tracks Lord Bi, Lord Banff, and Lord Hengxian across millions of light-years. It kills the true bodies of Lord Banff and Lord Hengxian, but Lord Bi survives because a powerful True God-level being appears to block part of the attack.
• Zhu Mang realizes that the Insect Queen may have intervened. Rather than retreat, he openly challenges the unseen True Gods and suggests he is willing to fight—or kill—them next.
• Nine powerful alien Universe Masters then arrive, most of them peak fifth-tier experts equipped with pinnacle supreme treasures. They intend to eliminate Zhu Mang before his growth threatens the balance of power.
• Among the new enemies are Lord Silent Void of the Demon Slayer Race, the Witch of Oblivion, and Lord Darkblood. They launch attacks targeting Zhu Mang’s consciousness, life origin, and divine body.
• The Primal Chaos City Lord intervenes with the Thousand Treasures River and Universe in the Palm. Other human-alliance Universe Masters, including Lord Virtual Gold, also arrive with supreme treasures to protect Zhu Mang and confront the alien forces.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang: Fully reveals his overwhelming combat ability. He shifts from testing his opponents to decisively killing them, demonstrating superior speed, energy control, destructive power, and long-range targeting. His confidence grows into open provocation of True God-level beings.
• Lord Sirius: Changes from an aggressive predator into a helpless victim. His inability to withstand Zhu Mang’s attacks ends with his death, humiliating the usually dominant demon expert.
• Lord Bi: Initially fights alongside Lord Banff but becomes terrified after seeing Zhu Mang destroy their insect forces. She escapes, survives his final attack only through outside intervention, and remains the only one of the original four whose fate is unresolved.
• Lord Banff and Lord Hengxian: Both suffer catastrophic defeats. Banff is badly injured before being killed, while Hengxian’s mechanical superweapon and true body are destroyed despite his race’s exceptional regenerative abilities.
• The alien Universe Masters: Their arrival shows that Zhu Mang’s threat has escalated from a local battle to a crisis affecting the entire power structure of the universe.
• Primal Chaos City Lord and the human alliance: They recognize Zhu Mang as an important human asset and decisively abandon neutrality, entering the battle to defend him and assert humanity’s authority.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power versus established authority: Zhu Mang’s transcendent energy and control surpass the conventional limits of Universe Masters, challenging the existing hierarchy.
• The limits of immortality and regeneration: Mechanical bodies, insect swarms, and divine-body regeneration cannot save the enemy from attacks that destroy their true bodies.
• Escalation and deterrence: Zhu Mang’s victories force True God-level figures and peak races to intervene, transforming a duel into a cosmic confrontation.
• Confidence bordering on arrogance: Zhu Mang’s playful mockery—such as tasting Lord Sirius’s leg and calling it “tough old meat”—emphasizes both his superiority and his willingness to provoke stronger enemies.
• Political unity and racial conflict: The alien races unite out of fear that Zhu Mang’s growth will strengthen humanity, while the human alliance rallies to protect him and prevent their enemies from eliminating a future superweapon.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang humiliates Lord Sirius through physical domination and mockery before killing him.
• Lord Bi and Lord Banff coordinate their insect techniques but lose confidence when Zhu Mang effortlessly destroys their summoned forces; their cooperation collapses into flight.
• Lord Hengxian attacks from a distance with a massive mechanical weapon, but Zhu Mang counters him directly and destroys the entire formation.
• Zhu Mang’s final attack forces Lord Bi, Lord Banff, and Lord Hengxian to flee and conceal themselves, but his tracking ability makes escape ineffective.
• The new alien Universe Masters coordinate their attacks against Zhu Mang, targeting different aspects of his existence.
• The Primal Chaos City Lord and the human alliance respond collectively, turning the battle into a large-scale confrontation between humanity and the allied alien races.

Chapter Summary: “Kill Again! Even Top-Tier Fifth-Stage Warriors Were Ants”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Zhu Mang is besieged by a joint formation of nine universe masters, including the Master of Myriad Machines, the Darkblood Lord, the Lord of Silent Void, the Lord of Azure, and other powerful fifth-stage warriors.
• The attackers unleash overwhelming techniques: supernova-level artillery, blood-sea chains, dimensional weapons, life-draining powers, and absolute nothingness.
• Zhu Mang reveals an astonishing ability to act in multiple locations simultaneously, creating five apparent “phantoms” while remaining unaffected by the siege.
• He destroys the Lord of Silent Void by striking the conceptual core supporting his “absolute nothingness.” Zhu Mang forces the essence of existence into the void, shattering the Lord’s domain and killing him completely.
• Zhu Mang then hunts the Lord of Azure, who had previously survived through the protection of the Insect Race Queen. He freezes and destroys her crystal-ridge prison with a superior form of spatial-temporal freezing, killing her along with the prison’s countless crystal structures.
• The Insect Race Queen arrives too late and is enraged by the deaths of two of her race’s universe masters.
• Zhu Mang’s other manifestations kill two more top-tier fifth-stage universe masters. Only the Lord of Galaxy survives, though his avatar is destroyed.
• The Lord of Galaxy uses his “Galaxy Rebirth” technique to preserve himself, then begs Zhu Mang for mercy and offers his allegiance, recognizing that Zhu Mang’s power is comparable to—or greater than—that of an eighth- or ninth-stage true god.
• Zhu Mang’s manifestations merge, and the remaining attackers attempt to continue fighting. Their attacks are effortlessly neutralized: life-stealing power rebounds, artillery is deflected, and blood-sea chains are purified by his crimson-gold flames.
• The enemy alliance realizes that it has suffered catastrophic losses while Zhu Mang remains essentially unharmed.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang: Fully demonstrates his overwhelming combat power, strategic intelligence, and ruthless principles. He follows his belief in repaying every grudge, refusing to spare the Lord of Azure. His control over multiple manifestations, conceptual laws, and fused powers establishes him as a being far beyond ordinary universe masters.
• Lord of Silent Void: His confidence in his ultimate “nothingness” is destroyed when Zhu Mang identifies and attacks its underlying conceptual source. His death proves that even the most abstract defensive techniques have a weakness.
• Lord of Azure: Her earlier escape and protection by the Insect Race Queen offer no lasting safety. Zhu Mang’s superior freezing power completely overwhelms her crystal-ridge prison, leaving her terrified and helpless.
• Lord of Galaxy: Transitions from an ambitious opportunist to a frightened survivor. After witnessing Zhu Mang kill multiple fifth-stage universe masters, he abandons his pride and submits, offering himself as a servant.
• Insect Race Queen: Appears as the supreme power of her race, but arrives only after its losses have already occurred. Her fury highlights the political and racial consequences of Zhu Mang’s massacre.
• The remaining universe masters: Their confidence collapses as their strongest attacks fail even to approach Zhu Mang.

Significant Themes

• Absolute power versus numerical advantage: Even nine elite universe masters cannot overcome a single combatant whose strength has reached a higher conceptual level.
• Existence overcoming nothingness: Zhu Mang’s destruction of the Lord of Silent Void presents the philosophical idea that “nothingness” is still a form of existence and can therefore be overturned.
• The limits of conventional defenses: Crystal prisons, dimensional barriers, stardust bodies, and conceptual voids all fail when confronted by deeper or more versatile laws.
• Fear and submission before overwhelming strength: The Lord of Galaxy’s surrender reflects how quickly pride and ambition disappear when survival becomes impossible.
• Revenge and consequences: Zhu Mang’s determination to repay every grudge drives his pursuit of the Lord of Azure and escalates tensions with the Insect, Demon, and Mechanical races.
• The emergence of a true-god-level threat: Zhu Mang’s performance threatens the established balance of power and may reshape the future of the human alliance and the entire universe sea.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang directly confronts and verbally belittles the Lord of Silent Void, explaining that even “nothingness” remains part of existence before destroying him.
• He mocks the Lord of Azure’s supposedly indestructible crystal defenses and kills her despite the Insect Race Queen’s earlier intervention.
• The Insect Race Queen arrives afterward, openly condemning Zhu Mang and declaring her rage at the destruction of her race’s forces.
• The Lord of Galaxy pleads with Zhu Mang, surrendering his divine-body core and offering obedience in exchange for survival.
• Zhu Mang’s overwhelming presence forces the remaining attackers into hesitation, while their attacks rebound or dissolve before reaching him.

Chapter Summary: “Thorough Annihilation, Provoking the True Gods”

Key Plot Points and Events

• News spreads that Zhu Mang has effortlessly killed Ji Kong and several other universe masters. The surviving universe masters are shocked and terrified, realizing that beings of their level can be annihilated almost instantly.
• The chapter explains that universe masters cannot normally be resurrected within the primal universe. Even true gods would face enormous risks attempting such a resurrection, making the deaths effectively permanent.
• Zhu Mang discovers that a fragment of Oblivion Witch’s curse survived contact with his aura. Intrigued by its connection to “oblivion” and possibly the destructive power of Dragon Ball’s Gods of Destruction, he decides to study her power directly.
• Zhu Mang transforms into a more powerful state resembling Super Saiyan 2, releasing a pure platinum-white aura. Although he still restrains his strength enough to avoid being expelled by the primal universe’s origin will, his power becomes vastly more terrifying.
• Oblivion Witch panics and attempts to escape by splitting into hundreds of millions of resentful soul incarnations. Zhu Mang counters by extending his hand and imposing an absolute conceptual restriction over the surrounding space.
• Zhu Mang’s divine kingdom physically swallows the battlefield, trapping Oblivion Witch, Master Dark Blood, and Master Myriad Machines inside it. Within this private miniature universe, Zhu Mang has overwhelming control.
• He refines Master Dark Blood and Master Myriad Machines, while focusing especially on Oblivion Witch’s power. He strips out her Luo of Oblivion and completely erases her body, souls, incarnations, origin imprints, and existence from reality.
• Dark Blood and Myriad Machines, now terrified and severely weakened, attempt to flee. Before Zhu Mang can kill them, the primal universe’s origin will intervenes.
• The universe forcibly ejects the battlefield into the Cosmic Sea to prevent further damage to the primal universe.
• The chapter ends with the arrival of two immensely powerful, mysterious figures. One declares that Zhu Mang will not be allowed to run rampant in the Cosmic Sea, signaling the intervention of true gods.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang: Demonstrates that he has been concealing an even greater level of strength. His transformation, mastery of his divine kingdom, and ability to erase Oblivion Witch entirely establish him as an existence far beyond ordinary universe masters. His interest in the Luo of Oblivion also shows his growing desire to understand and prepare for higher-level destructive powers.
• Oblivion Witch: Shifts from a feared and dangerous expert to a completely desperate fugitive. Her confidence collapses under Zhu Mang’s overwhelming presence, and despite sacrificing her divine body and scattering her incarnations, she is utterly annihilated.
• Master Dark Blood and Master Myriad Machines: Once powerful combatants, they become helpless victims inside Zhu Mang’s divine kingdom. Their terror reveals that they recognize the battle has never been equal.
• The Other Universe Masters: Their fear and loss of fighting spirit show that Zhu Mang’s power has shattered their previous understanding of the limits of the universe-master realm.
• The True Gods: Though they appear only at the end, their arrival establishes that Zhu Mang’s actions have finally provoked beings capable of directly challenging or confronting him.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and the collapse of established limits: Zhu Mang’s strength exceeds what the universe masters believe possible, making the previous hierarchy meaningless.
• Irreversible death: The inability to resurrect universe masters emphasizes the permanence and seriousness of the massacre.
• Existence and annihilation: Oblivion Witch is not merely killed; every trace of her existence is erased, highlighting the difference between ordinary death and total conceptual destruction.
• The divine kingdom as absolute authority: Zhu Mang’s miniature universe functions as his personal realm, where he becomes effectively omnipotent against weaker opponents.
• The consequences of defying cosmic laws: Zhu Mang’s battle damages the primal universe so severely that its origin will forcibly relocates the conflict, demonstrating the universe’s self-preservation.
• Escalation toward higher powers: The defeat of the universe masters serves as a prelude to conflict with the true gods, raising the story from inter-racial warfare to confrontation with the highest-level beings in the Cosmic Sea.

Character Interactions

• Oblivion Witch attempts to use Master Dark Blood as cover, but he immediately moves aside rather than protect her, showing the collapse of cooperation under extreme fear.
• Zhu Mang treats Oblivion Witch as both an enemy and a source of valuable knowledge, deliberately targeting her destructive power before erasing her.
• Master Dark Blood and Master Myriad Machines are swallowed along with their defenses and forced into Zhu Mang’s divine kingdom, where their combined abilities prove useless.
• The surviving universe masters cease fighting and watch in terror as Zhu Mang transforms, effectively recognizing his dominance.
• At the end, the newly arrived true gods directly address Zhu Mang, marking the first open confrontation between him and the supreme powers of the wider universe.

Chapter Summary: “Battle Against Three True Gods”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The battlefield is suddenly distorted by the arrival of three True Gods: the Insect Queen, the Mechanical Father God, and the Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha.
• The Insect Queen appears beautiful and delicate but is revealed to be extremely dangerous. Her powers include:
  • Creating vast armies of insectoid warriors through the Black Abyss Brood Nest.
  • Combining the strength and souls of countless insects.
  • Using exceptionally powerful soul attacks.
• The chapter explains the Insect Queen’s method of strengthening her forces: weak insectoids are eliminated through mass slaughter, while the strongest survivors devour others and become elite warriors. The former Master of Banff was one such product and now contributes to the brood nest’s power.
• The Mechanical Father God arrives through a mechanical vessel, while Mengcha emerges from concealment in the form of an enormous silver serpent.
• Zhu Mang mocks the three True Gods for joining forces against someone who has supposedly only reached the immortal level. The three are enraged because Zhu Mang has killed important Masters of the Universe from their races, including valued elite warriors and Mengcha’s disciple, the Terminus Witch.
• The Insect Queen launches the first attack, unleashing an overwhelming psychic shockwave from her Black Abyss Brood Nest.
• Mengcha follows with a reality-warping illusion technique that drags Zhu Mang into a nightmare involving Planet Vegeta, Frieza, and the destruction of his former world.
• The Mechanical Father God activates 10,081 peak supreme treasure puppets, using them to launch a barrage of destruction-based attacks that supposedly targets Zhu Mang across space, time, energy, and every possible avenue of escape.
• Numerous hidden True Gods and powerful races observe the battle, waiting to see whether Zhu Mang can survive the combined execution of three peak powers.
• Zhu Mang remains completely unharmed:
  • The Insect Queen’s soul attack enters his body but finds only an empty white world.
  • Mengcha’s illusions fail because Zhu Mang no longer fears his past.
  • The Mechanical Father God’s attacks stop before reaching him, blocked by an incomprehensible “absolute wall” that his weapons cannot analyze.
• The three True Gods are stunned, particularly the normally emotionless Mechanical Father God, whose logical systems begin producing errors and turbulence.

Character Developments

• Zhu Mang demonstrates overwhelming confidence and absolute mental resilience. His past trauma, particularly his fear of Planet Vegeta and Frieza, no longer controls him. He has embraced the belief that he possesses limitless possibilities and need only consider whether he can win.
• The Insect Queen is shown to be both emotionally attached to her insectoid “children” and fiercely vengeful. Her initial confidence in her soul enslavement technique turns into surprise when she discovers Zhu Mang’s inner world is unlike anything she expected.
• Dream Demon Ancestor Mengcha is revealed to be personally enraged by Zhu Mang’s killing of his disciple. His confidence in his illusion and soul-eroding powers collapses when Zhu Mang remains unaffected.
• The Mechanical Father God is characterized as cold, analytical, and reliant on perfect calculation. Zhu Mang’s unknowable defenses create the first major disruption in his logical systems.
• The chapter also provides historical context about the Demon Beast Ancestor, the Origin Ancestor, and the rise and fragmentation of the demon race, insectoid race, and other major powers.

Significant Themes

• Power beyond established systems: Zhu Mang’s defenses cannot be measured or interpreted through the universe’s normal laws, suggesting that he exists outside the known hierarchy of strength.
• Fear versus resolve: Mengcha’s technique weaponizes Zhu Mang’s former trauma, but Zhu Mang’s growth allows him to reject fear entirely.
• Individual power versus collective strength: The Insect Queen represents the power of endless armies, coordination, assimilation, and accumulated souls, while Zhu Mang stands alone and effortlessly resists them.
• The limits of knowledge and logic: The Mechanical Father God’s attacks can analyze and eliminate every conceivable possibility, yet Zhu Mang’s barrier contains “undefined attributes” beyond mechanical understanding.
• Revenge and the cost of killing elites: Zhu Mang’s earlier victories have provoked the highest authorities of several races, escalating the conflict from personal combat into a confrontation watched by the entire cosmic sea.

Character Interactions

• Zhu Mang openly taunts the three True Gods, emphasizing the absurdity of their alliance against him.
• The Insect Queen attacks first out of rage over her fallen insectoid warriors and attempts to enslave Zhu Mang through his soul.
• Mengcha attacks in retaliation for the death of his disciple, using Zhu Mang’s memories and fears against him.
• The Mechanical Father God supports the assault with a perfectly coordinated, universe-spanning barrage designed to eliminate every possible escape.
• The three True Gods initially cooperate cautiously, avoiding one another’s attacks while observing Zhu Mang’s weaknesses. Their confidence turns to disbelief as all three attacks fail.
• The watching True Gods and ancient races become increasingly interested in Zhu Mang, recognizing that his survival may signal the emergence of a power beyond the universe’s conventional limits.
