• Qiangwei paid for Zhong Li's lavish breakfast as he ate with Liang Bing, Yan, and her, while Ge Xiaolun questioned why he had to fight aliens and then agreed to go to Super Seminary.
• Zhong Li tried to part ways with Liang Bing, Yan, and Qiangwei, but they gave excuses to stay with him, so he took them to hear a storyteller recount his deeds.
• Zhong Li explained that listening to stories about his past helped him remember old friends he had once forgotten.

• Du Kao learned the Taotie vanguard had withdrawn from the Solar System and questioned whether the super soldier program could continue without the threat of invasion.
• Sun Wukong reminded Du Kao that Zhong Li and his thousand-plus divine generals could protect Earth, while Lian Feng wondered how Earth had enough resources to cultivate so many chief-god-level warriors.

Du Kao’s analysts debated whether Ultimate Fear had erased ancient civilizations and whether Earth’s Super Soldier Project should continue, while Zhong Li watched their theories from afar. Yan reported Earth’s discoveries to Keisha, who recognized Zhong Li and recalled their meeting long ago.

• Lian Feng’s resource calculations led the analysts aboard Deno No. 3 to conclude that the Milky Way could not have supported so many ancient powerhouses, and they recalled that the moon was an artificial satellite created roughly ten million years ago.
• A researcher proposed that Ultimate Fear had destroyed advanced civilizations, and Zhong Li sputtered soup when he heard the researchers interpret his quiet daily routine as a way to resist it.
• Du Kao told the analysts to stop discussing the De Nuo Galaxy and myths until he met with others about halting the Super Soldier Project, while an observer reported that Zhong Li said Bo Yang and the others had beaten Death God Karl.
• Zhong Li wondered how advanced civilization would need to become before the void descended, while Liang Bing and Yan shared a room because Qiangwei had run out of money.
• Yan told Keisha that Liang Bing had a Fourth Generation God Body and that Earth’s military power surpassed Angel Civilization, then sent her data about Zhong Li and the Thousand Rock Army.
• Keisha recognized Zhong Li in Yan’s video and recalled how he had saved her, given her a Geo Vision, and told her his names were Zhong Li and Morax.

Keisha revealed that she had once been Zhong Li’s guardian angel and prepared to go to Earth to confront Liang Bing, while Pan Zhen and Xuan Tianji argued over Lieyang’s response to Zhong Li’s coming forces. On Earth, Du Kao considered asking Zhong Li to train the Super Seminary students but was unsure whether he would agree.

• Keisha told Yan and Liang Bing that she knew Zhong Li from tens of thousands of years ago and had become his guardian angel after calling his divine name.
• Keisha learned that Liang Bing and Yan were living together, laughed at their lack of funds, and told Yan to send her Earth’s coordinates before ending the call.
• Qiangwei returned the gold coins Zhong Li had given her for research after accepting money from Du Kao, then complained that she was paying Zhong Li’s bill.

• The Thousand Rock Army headed for Lieyang to turn the damaged planet into Liyue, while Du Kao secured continued funding for the Super Seminary and decided Qiangwei should remain with Zhong Li.
• Lian Feng suggested inviting Zhong Li, whose dark data named him the War God, to train the Super Seminary students, and Du Kao admitted he did not know how to approach him.

Liang Bing explained that Qiangwei’s Space-Time Gene could eventually let her travel through time and space, then sent several tons of gold to Deno No. 3. The transfer exposed how far Demon Civilization’s technology surpassed the De Nuo survivors, while Liang Bing and Yan discussed the rare, powerful metal Dark Su Yin.

• Zhong Li said he could travel through time and space, and Liang Bing concluded that Keisha had met him in the past while he would meet her in the future.
• Liang Bing told Qiangwei that her Space-Time Gene could enable time travel and agreed to teach her how to develop it, though Qiangwei would need to find the resources.
• Qiangwei asked Liang Bing to deliver several tons of gold to Deno No. 3, and Liang Bing used Demon One to send it through a micro-wormhole.
• Du Kao and his researchers watched the gold arrive and realized Demon Civilization could bypass Deno No. 3’s defenses with ease.
• Liang Bing told Qiangwei that Dark Su Yin was exceptionally scarce, and Yan explained that it could cut through Third Generation and higher Fourth Generation God Bodies.

Sumali recognized Zhong Li as the terrifying being he had encountered tens of thousands of years earlier, surrendered his Dark Su Yin blade, and fled. Half a month later, Zhong Li arrived at the Super Seminary to train the young super soldiers, where the group encountered Lena and the fallen students.

• Sumali entered a hotel in Juxia City, recognized Liang Bing, and then realized Zhong Li was the being who had once terrified him.
• Sumali offered Zhong Li his Dark Su Yin short blade, and Zhong Li let him leave; Sumali rolled out of the hotel before flying away from the East.
• After half a month of peace, Zhong Li agreed to help train Ge Xiaolun and the others at the Super Seminary.
• Zhong Li, Liang Bing, Yan, and Qiangwei arrived at the teaching building as Lena shouted that she was a god.
• Zhao Xin, Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and Jiawen fell from the building and met the group; Liang Bing told Liu Chuang she would give him pointers.

Zhong Li offered to help Jiawen restore De Star if Jiawen defeated an enemy alone, then used the Void Terminal to create Lu Bu and Red Hare as formidable warriors. Lu Bu arrived at the academy and became Zhong Li’s disciple, leaving Jiawen and the others astonished by his strength.

• Liang Bing recognized Liu Chuang as the Nuo Xing God of War, while he panicked and backed away from her.
• Vayne and Rui Mengmeng watched the gathering, and Yan judged Ge Xiaolun to be immature before Jiawen approached Zhong Li.
• Zhong Li offered to help Jiawen restore De Star if he defeated an enemy without anyone else’s help, and he revealed that Jiawen might otherwise die in a future battle.
• Zhong Li used the Void Terminal to create Lu Bu with a Third Generation God Body and Red Hare with a peak Third Generation Beast Body.
• Lu Bu arrived at the academy, thanked Zhong Li, and completed a ceremony to become his disciple.

Zhong Li arrived on the Dou Qi Continent and met Xiao Yan, whose cultivation had regressed to the third stage of Fighting Qi. After Xiao Xun'er recognized Zhong Li as an expert beyond the Sect Fighter level, he agreed to go with Xiao Yan to the Xiao Clan, leaving Xiao Yan hopeful that he could learn what had happened to his cultivation.

• Ruo Tuo explained that Zhong Li had been moved away from the Super God Universe because Observers watched and controlled certain planes.

• Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying sensed Zhong Li's immense strength, and Xiao Xun'er cautiously put away her Ancient Clan signal device.
• Zhong Li told Xiao Yan his name and went with him, while Xiao Xun'er followed after Xiao Yan called her to catch up.

Zhong Li temporarily enhanced Xiao Yan with powerful defensive armor and strength, allowing him to fight back against the Xiao Clan youths who mocked him and Xiao Xun'er. Xiao Yan defeated Xiao Hu and Xiao Ning, while Xiao Zhan realized that Xiao Yan’s apparent Great Master Fighter strength was not genuine.

• Xiao Ning and Xiao Hu taunted Xiao Yan at the training ground, and Xiao Xun'er defended him.
• Zhong Li asked whether Xiao Yan dared to fight, then covered him with earthy-yellow armor and temporarily increased his power.
• Xiao Yan charged at the Xiao Clan youths, sent Xiao Hu flying with one punch, and knocked out several of Xiao Ning’s teeth.
• The other youths attacked Xiao Yan but could not break through his armor, while Xiao Xun'er and Ling Ying watched in surprise.
• Xiao Zhan and the Elders arrived, and Xiao Zhan realized Xiao Yan lacked the pressure of a genuine Great Master Fighter.

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Xun'er argued over the Xiao Clan's Tuoshe Ancient Jade while Zhong Li insisted he had not come for it. After Xiao Yan begged Zhong Li to accept him as a disciple, Zhong Li offered to take him on under two conditions, including remaining a virgin until age five thousand, and revealed that he was more than six thousand years old.

• Xiao Zhan offered the Tuoshe Ancient Jade to Zhong Li as Xiao Yan's apprenticeship gift, while Xiao Xun'er revealed that she wanted the jade for her clan and offered a Saint Fighter's protection in exchange.
• Xiao Yan defeated the Xiao Clan members in the arena with Zhong Li's temporary power, and the elders quietly accepted his victory.
• Xiao Yan asked Zhong Li to become his master, and Zhong Li said he could solve Xiao Yan's cultivation problem if Xiao Yan met two conditions.

• Zhong Li revealed that he was more than six thousand years old and warned Xiao Yan that both sides would have to honor their agreement before Xiao Yan decided whether to become his disciple.

Zhong Li accepted Xiao Yan as his disciple and arranged to trade the Xiao Clan’s Tuoshe Ancient Jade to Gu Yuan’s Ancient Clan for cultivation resources. Gu Yuan arrived through a teleportation passage to complete the deal, while Xiao Yan learned about spatial travel and continued hoping to solve the problem of his disappearing Dou Qi.

• Zhong Li accepted Xiao Yan as his disciple after warning that Xiao Yan could not use his cultivation methods and Combat Skills until he had cultivated them to their peak.
• Xiao Zhan gave Zhong Li the Xiao Clan’s Tuoshe Ancient Jade, and Zhong Li proposed trading it to Xiao Xun’er’s father for resources to help Xiao Yan and the Xiao Clan.
• Xiao Xun’er crushed a jade tube to summon Gu Yuan’s clone, who agreed to notify his true body and then dissipated after transmitting the news.
• Gu Yuan learned that a powerful expert had appeared and left the Ancient Realm with resources, while an elder ordered others to keep observing him.
• Zhong Li explained teleportation passages and spatially gifted magical beasts to Xiao Yan before Gu Yuan emerged from a passage and reunited with Xiao Xun’er.

• Xiao Yan declared that Nalan Yanran was unworthy of him and demanded paper and a brush so he could cast her aside; Zhong Li applauded from a rooftop.

Zhong Li revealed himself as a Sect Fighter when Ge Ye and the Yun Lan Sect party confronted Xiao Yan over Nalan Yanran’s broken engagement. Xiao Yan wrote a divorce letter and accepted Nalan Yanran’s Three Year Pact, but Zhong Li then warned that the Xiao Clan’s enemies might seek revenge and raised the possibility of killing the visitors, leaving Nalan Yanran terrified.

• Zhong Li descended from the rooftop through the air, revealing his Sect Fighter strength and causing Ge Ye and the Yun Lan Sect disciples to kneel.
• Xiao Zhan explained the old betrothal between Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran, while Nalan Yanran insisted she had come to break it off by her own choice.
• Zhong Li gave Xiao Yan a Thousand Rock Longsword, and Xiao Yan used his blood to write a divorce letter for Nalan Yanran.
• Nalan Yanran challenged Xiao Yan to a Three Year Pact, but Xiao Yan refused her terms and said she would receive all the benefits.
• Zhong Li warned Xiao Yan that the Yun Lan Sect party could seek revenge after he left, and Nalan Yanran realized Zhong Li might kill her along with the others.

After Zhong Li demonstrated overwhelming power in Wutan City, the Gale and Ouba Families sought to submit to the Xiao Clan, while Ya Fei considered how to recruit him. Zhong Li then addressed Xiao Yan’s three-year Dou Qi problem by summoning Yao Chen, who introduced himself as a junior to Zhong Li.

• Xiao Yan accepted Nalan Yanran’s Three Year Pact, and they agreed to apologize to each other’s masters if either lost.
• The Xiao Clan’s First Elder arrived with reinforcements as Ge Ye and the Yun Lan Sect disciples fled Wutan City; Zhong Li summoned a Heavenly Star and destroyed them with All-Encompassing.
• The Gale and Ouba Families decided to offer most of their resources and join the Xiao Clan, while Ya Fei asked Ni Gu whether she could bring Zhong Li into the Miterer Clan.
• Xiao Zhan sent Nalan Yanran back to Jia Ma Holy City, and Zhong Li showed Xiao Yan the resources Gu Yuan had exchanged for the Tuoshe Ancient Jade.
• When Xiao Yan asked about his troubled Dou Qi, Zhong Li summoned Yao Chen, who greeted him as a senior while Xiao Yan mistook Yao Chen for a ghost.

Zhong Li explained Yao Chen’s past and offered Xiao Yan a choice between following his path of earth or learning Yao Chen’s Burning Art, but Xiao Yan chose to remain Zhong Li’s disciple. Zhong Li appointed Yao Chen as Xiao Yan’s mentor and gave Xiao Yan the children’s edition of Nine Transformations of God and Demon, whose immense power stunned both Xiao Yan and Yao Chen.

• Yao Chen admitted that he had absorbed Xiao Yan’s Fighting Qi to keep his soul from dissipating, and Xiao Yan angrily confronted him over the three years of scorn he had endured.

• Zhong Li gave Xiao Yan Nine Transformations of God and Demon (Children’s Edition), and Xiao Yan and Yao Chen were astonished by its description of earth-tempered strength and immortality.

Yao Chen learned how Earth Power could replace Fighting Qi and Dou Qi, while Xiao Yan began the brutal body-tempering method Zhong Li had given him. Xiao Yan survived his first session and woke healed, but the chapter left him realizing that Yao Chen had beaten him with a hammer as part of his training.

• Yao Chen asked Zhong Li how the cultivation method could lead to becoming a Fighter, and Zhong Li explained that Earth Power could temper the body and condense into a vortex.
• Zhong Li told Xiao Yan to cultivate and prepared a wooden hammer for the first stage of training.
• Xiao Yan endured Earth Power scraping his skin until he was covered in blood, then Yao Chen struck him across the body with the hammer.
• Xiao Yan fainted after an hour, and Zhong Li healed his injuries with a green light that Yao Chen mistook for the Law of Life.
• Xiao Yan woke at noon feeling refreshed, and Zhong Li confirmed that he had been beaten and praised his willpower.

Zhong Li helped Xiao Yan cultivate the Nine Transformations of God and Demon, greatly increasing his strength, and gave Yao Chen a Seven-Colored Soul-Returning Ganoderma to restore his soul. After recovering his mother’s ring and learning how powerful the technique was, Xiao Yan chose to keep cultivating it.

• Xiao Yan realized his injuries had healed and his strength had multiplied after Zhong Li used the Law of Life and helped him temper his body with Earth Power.
• Zhong Li gave Yao Chen a Seven-Colored Soul-Returning Ganoderma so he could restore his remnant soul, and Yao Chen took the ring Xiao Yan had left with his clothes.
• Xiao Yan rushed to the pond to wash off the foul-smelling scabs, then panicked when he noticed his mother’s ring was missing.
• Yao Chen told Xiao Yan that the ring was safe, and Xiao Yan returned to Zhong Li embarrassed but relieved.
• Xiao Yan told Zhong Li that the first transformation had brought his strength to the level of the ninth stage of Fighting Qi, and he eagerly chose to continue cultivating the technique.

Xiao Yan received Gu Yuan’s Storage Ring from Zhong Li, but Yao Chen warned that its powerful contents were unsuitable for the Xiao Clan and bargained with Xiao Yan for more ordinary methods and skills. Xiao Yan rejected Xiao Mei’s attempt to reconnect, then brought jade scrolls to the clan meeting, where the First Elder eagerly claimed them.

• Zhong Li gave Xiao Yan Gu Yuan’s Storage Ring, and Yao Chen found its cultivation methods, Combat Skills, and medicinal pills far too advanced for the Xiao Clan to use safely.
• Yao Chen offered to provide ordinary methods, skills, and pills in exchange for something from Xiao Yan, and the two reached an agreement.

• Xiao Zhan accepted the Gale and Ouba Families’ submission, while the Elders asked him to allocate resources to their descendants.
• Xiao Yan entered the meeting hall carrying jade scrolls, and the First Elder rushed to take them from him.

Xiao Yan gave the Xiao Clan pills, cultivation methods, and Combat Skills, explaining that Zhong Li had passed the resources to him. The clan leaders distributed the pills and scrolls, and Xiao Yan encouraged the First Elder to let Xiao Ning cultivate Eight Extremes Collapse, secretly anticipating the harsh training it would require.

• Xiao Yan presented the Xiao Clan with cultivation methods, Combat Skills, and Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, reassuring Xiao Zhan that they came from his master.

• Xiao Zhan accepted the remaining pills and examined Eight Extremes Collapse, prompting the First Elder to request it for Xiao Ning.
• Xiao Yan urged the First Elder to take the scroll for Xiao Ning, privately anticipating the beatings and wooden-hammer training required to master it.
• Xiao Zhan stored the remaining scrolls for the clan to distribute, and the group dispersed to inventory the resources from the two great clans.

Zhong Li watched Xiao Ning train before heading to teach Xiao Yan, while the Yun Lan Sect questioned Nalan Yanran about the deaths in the Xiao Clan. Two days later, Yun Leng led an investigation toward Wutan City, wary that her story might be true.

• Zhong Li watched the First Elder push Xiao Ning through training with Eight Extremes Collapse, then went to the Xiao Clan's rear mountain to teach Xiao Yan.
• Nalan Yanran told Yun Yun and the Yun Lan Sect Elders that a powerful figure in the Xiao Clan had killed Ge Ye and the others with a star.

• Yun Yun told Nalan Yanran that she believed her as a teacher but struggled to accept that Wutan City could contain someone stronger than the Yun Lan Sect.
• Two days later, Yun Leng led a group toward Wutan City to investigate, considering the possibility that Nalan Yanran had told the truth and that the sect might need an escape plan.

Yun Leng’s group confirmed that a powerful figure in Wutan City had created the strange flattened landscape and decided to approach cautiously. Zhong Li assigned Xiao Yan to confront the Yun Lan Sect visitors under the protection of the Jade Screen Shield, leaving Xiao Yan to prepare for the trial.
