Chapter Summaries

After Bai Yue’s squad celebrated their battle, he learned that his military quota was one billion, though his Virtual Universe Company trial required twenty trillion. Meanwhile, the demon race mobilized hundreds of Immortals to hunt him in the Blood River Galaxy, drawing other races into the growing conflict.

• Hei Yuan praised the squad’s performance and welcomed Bai Yue as a powerful new teammate.
• Tie Zhu asked about Bai Yue’s military merit quota, and Hei Yuan and Lan Lin explained that his one-billion quota marked him as a True God General with strength comparable to an Ordinary Immortal Spirit.
• Bai Yue reflected that his actual life-and-death trial required twenty trillion military merit and that he had gained 231 million in the previous battle.
• Over the next two-plus months, Hei Yuan’s squad hunted demon squads near the Blood River Galaxy as forces gathered and tensions rose.
• The demon race assembled hundreds of Immortals after Lord Evil Dragon King ordered them to kill Bai Yue, and Astal, Nine Brake Marquis, and Meteor Marquis instructed them to find and trap him.

Hei Yuan’s team encountered an elite demon race team in the Blood River Galaxy, and Bai Yue charged into battle against its lightning-wielding immortal. He shattered the opponent’s weapon and body, but the Marquis-ranked immortal regenerated, leaving the fight ongoing.

• Hei Yuan’s team detected two Immortal Spirits and five World Masters hiding inside a shattered star, then moved in to attack.
• The demon race team emerged to meet them, revealing a huge Tyrannosaur-shaped immortal and a massive lightning-covered eel-shaped immortal.
• Bai Yue enlarged his body and attacked the eel-shaped immortal with his Primordial Staff.
• Bai Yue broke the eel’s weapon, then smashed through its armor and blasted its body into fragments.
• The eel regenerated through its undying body, though Bai Yue’s strike had shattered parts of its soul and weakened its aura.

Bai Yue defeated the Thunder Eel and discovered that enemy forces had lured his team into an encirclement. As Astal’s forces attacked, Bai Yue unleashed his enormous Immortal Star Eater Grass, engulfing the battlefield and leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• Bai Yue repeatedly battered the Thunder Eel until the demon immortal detonated his divine power, then collected the spoils unharmed.

• Bai Yue placed Ao Tun and the other World Masters in his World Ring, while Hei Yuan and Lan Lin stayed beside him as Astal and hundreds of Immortal Spirits surrounded them.
• Astal revealed his enormous silver serpent form and ordered his forces to attack, but Bai Yue unleashed his sun-sized Immortal Star Eater Grass, which swallowed the approaching enemies.

Bai Yue used his hundred-vine Star Eater Grass to crush the demon race force and kill Marquis Astal and Meteor Marquis. After reaching 47.2 billion military merit, he told Hei Yuan’s squad he was leaving to pursue his other missions.

• Bai Yue told Hei Yuan’s squad that he was leaving, and Hei Yuan accepted his decision while Feng Liufei asked him not to forget them.

Bai Yue parted from his comrades and continued exploring the Ninth Battlefield while searching for clues about the Heavenly Horned Ant. After reflecting on his limits during twelve years of fruitless searching, he entered the central black hole of the Blood River Galaxy and reached the Star Refining Continent.

• Bai Yue gave the World Ring of demon-race spoils to Hei Yuan and the other teammates, then bade them farewell and departed in his spaceship.
• Bai Yue searched the Blood River Galaxy for information about the Heavenly Horned Ant, but found no clues and gained only some military contributions.
• After twelve years of exploring, Bai Yue recognized how little he understood the vast universe and resumed his journey with renewed resolve.
• Bai Yue recalled that Luo Feng had returned from the Blood Luo World and passed the seventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.
• Bai Yue approached the central black hole, used Absolute Space to withstand its pull, and entered the passage to the Star Refining Continent.

Bai Yue arrived at Jiulong Island in the Storm Sea and learned about the Star Refining Token rumors that had sparked an attack on Hedong Island. Since Hedong Island lay across the vast Star Refining Continent, he realized he could not reach it in time to get involved.

• Bai Yue teleported to Jiulong Island, saw the perilous Storm Sea and the barrier surrounding the Star Refining Continent, and disguised himself as an Ape-man Race Immortal Spirit.
• Bai Yue entered the island’s city, settled into a tavern, and overheard talk of a battle on Hedong Island over a rumored Star Refining Token.
• Bai Yue searched the Virtual Universe Network and learned that Hedong Island’s G-grade Metal mine was heavily defended by the Hedong Tribe.
• Bai Yue learned that rumors of the tribe possessing a Star Refining Token had drawn an attack and that two returning King-ranked members had likely reached the island.
• Bai Yue concluded that he could not reach Hedong Island in time because it lay across the twelve-light-year Star Refining Continent, where Dark Universe travel was impossible.

Bai Yue explored Jiulong Island, bought several Star Refining Clan treasures, and agreed to join Mang Long’s ruin expedition. After touring the island, he headed into the Storm Sea to collect its increasingly frigid waters for his Main Body Universe.

• Bai Yue examined Jiulong Island’s shops and bought an all-purpose Yin Soul Pearl, concluding that the Star Refining Clan’s Treasure Refining secret art had not been taken by the Four Great Clans.
• Bai Yue met Mang Long in a hall and agreed to join his group in exploring a ruin that might have been a Star Refining Clan treasure-refining site.
• Bai Yue continued shopping, then created a pavilion on Jiulong Island and spent several days touring the island and collecting unfamiliar items for his Inner Universe.
• Bai Yue examined the freezing Azure Wave Water at the shore and transferred a sample into his Main Body Universe.
• Bai Yue dived into the Storm Sea to collect Ice Soul Water and Cold Mist Water from deeper beneath the surface.

Bai Yue collected Cold Mist Water and Ice Soul Fish from the depths of the Storm Sea before joining Mang Long and three other Immortals to explore the Star Refining Race ruins. As their group traveled to the ruins, a Mechanical Race Immortal arrived first with a Jade Sword that resonated with the site.

• Bai Yue reached the Storm Sea seabed, collected Cold Mist Water, and captured Ice Soul Fish for his Main Body Universe.
• Bai Yue created a suitable habitat for the fish in his private reserve plane, then waited until Mang Long sent him the meeting place.
• Bai Yue joined Mang Long, Yan Mo, Yan Lang, and Weibullu aboard a spaceship, and they agreed Mang Long would choose one treasure before the rest were distributed by contribution.
• Mang Long explained that a Jade Sword had led him to the ruins of Yi Jian Fu, which had been exposed after a tsunami damaged nearby islands.
• A Mechanical Race Immortal followed the resonance of a similar Jade Sword to the ruins and led three companions out of their spaceship to investigate.

Morris and two Mechanical Race Immortals entered the Star Refining Race altar and used the Jade Sword to teleport into the true ruins, while Spier stayed behind to guard the cavern. A month later, another group killed Spier, and Bai Yue’s party continued traveling toward the ruins, still about half a year away.

• Four Mechanical Race Immortals followed the Jade Sword to an underground cavern and found a protected altar that showed signs of earlier attacks.
• Morris ordered Spier to break through the barrier with a mechanical puppet army, then entered the opening with two other Immortals while Spier stayed behind to guard it.
• Morris placed the Jade Sword into a hole at the altar’s center and learned that supplying it with energy would teleport them to the true ruins.
• Morris poured Immortal Divine Power into the altar, and it teleported him and the two other Immortals away.
• One month later, a group following a Jade Sword entered the cavern, with a demon race Immortal enduring Spier’s ambush before the group surrounded and killed him.
• Bai Yue and the others continued through the Ninth Battlefield by spacecraft, expecting to reach the ruins in about half a year.

Bai Yue and the other teams explored a vast, mist-covered realm before discovering that Yuan Bin had created it as a deadly trial for those seeking his treasures. The Mechanical Race entered first, and Marquis Jie Li urged the remaining teams to follow and rely on their own abilities.

• Bai Yue and his companions entered the underground ruins, used the Jade Sword at the altar, and arrived in a misty realm that suppressed detection.
• A woman in a divine temple watched the arriving teams, and the Jade Swords guided more groups into the realm over the next two years.
• A stone stele and a narrow path appeared in the mist, drawing all twelve teams together; Bai Yue's group joined Marquis Jie Li's Human Race team.
• Yuan Bin's image declared that challengers had to pass his Illusionary Heart Realm, where life and death would be beyond their control.
• Morris and his two Mechanical Race teammates stepped onto the projected path and vanished, prompting Marquis Jie Li to suggest that the other teams enter as well.

Bai Yue endured the Illusionary Heart Realm’s trials, including an illusion of a familiar home, and reached Yuan Bin’s palace. After Yuan Bin announced that the survivors could claim gifts, the entrants found the palace’s G-grade Metal furnishings impossible to remove and began searching elsewhere.

• Marquis Jie Li led the Human Race into the Illusionary Heart Realm, where Bai Yue was separated from the others and pressed onward through its trials.
• Bai Yue resisted the realm’s oppressive influence, harsh mountain conditions, and varied illusions, but lingered in a familiar apartment before leaving it.
• Bai Yue emerged in a vast plaza and entered the green jade palace, where he saw Insect Race immortals fail to take treasures protected by Secret Patterns.
• Yuan Bin congratulated those who passed and announced that gifts awaited them in the outer hall.
• The entrants discovered that the G-grade Metal furnishings could not be moved or taken, so some began searching the other palaces.

Bai Yue and Mang Long left the hall after sensing that the effortless discovery of its control core was suspicious, while the Demon Race, humans, and Insectoid Race fought over it. Mo Xue Hou failed to claim the pearl, which revealed Yuan Bin’s image and announced that the core was a fake.

• Weibullu, Mang Long, and Bai Yue suspected the palaces held treasures and entered the central hall, where they found a pearl that appeared to be the space’s control core.
• Jie Li Hou and the Demon Race leader forced the Mechanical Race members out, and Mang Long persuaded Bai Yue to leave because the situation felt wrong.
• The Demon Race, human, and Insectoid Race teams battled over the pearl; the humans suffered heavy losses, and Jie Li Hou withdrew before the Insectoid Race was driven out as well.
• Mo Xue Hou tried to claim the pearl, but it transformed into Yuan Bin’s image, and Yuan Bin revealed that the control core was only something he had made casually.

After passing the first trial, Bai Yue chose the dangerous route toward a one-of-a-kind supreme treasure and survived the deadly crossing. He reached the far bank, where Marquis Jie Li tried to recruit him as the remaining contestants awaited their next instructions.

• Yuan Bin announced that the survivors could choose a safe confinement space or risk a perilous path to pursue a supreme treasure, and the left path closed after an hour.
• Bai Yue chose the right path and continued through crushing pressure while dodging lightning and flames.
• Bai Yue saw Morris struck repeatedly by lightning until the Mechanical Race Immortal died.
• Bai Yue crossed the dangerous route and reached a grassland where several Marquis-ranked survivors had gathered.
• Marquis Jie Li approached Bai Yue, praised his concealed strength, and sought his support; Bai Yue said safety should come first.

Yuan Bin revealed that the so-called road of death was the safe route to his Treasure Pavilion, where the survivors could claim his treasures. Bai Yue discovered and pocketed a hidden ring, then raced ahead of Marquis Jie Li to the second floor, where the rival alliances gathered behind them.

• Yuan Bin explained that those who chose the road of death were safe and directed them to his Treasure Pavilion, while the people in the other space would be left to whoever obtained the supreme treasure.
• The seven arrivals reached the jade pavilion and rushed inside to collect the first-floor treasures, soon clashing as the prizes dwindled.
• Bai Yue found a concealed ring on Yuan Bin's statue, removed it, and stored it without inspecting it.
• Marquis Jie Li urged Bai Yue to hurry to the second floor, but Bai Yue overtook him and entered first as the others pursued.
• Marquis Jie Li followed Bai Yue into the second-floor study, and the insect race alliance and demon race alliance arrived behind them.

Bai Yue killed the five Marquis-ranked Alien Races in the Treasure Pavilion and was transported to a grand temple instead of back to the outside world. A woman there called him the fated one, and Bai Yue asked who she was.

• Bai Yue activated the Primordial Staff and used his domain and Peak Secret Technique to kill the five Marquis-ranked Alien Races, including Marquis Mo Xue Hou.
• Bai Yue warned Marquis Jie Li to keep quiet about what had happened, and Marquis Jie Li promised he knew nothing.
• Yuan Bin’s prerecorded message announced that the Flame Map contained his Treasure Refining insights and that the Space Secret Method would transport the survivors out.
• The spatial transmission sent Marquis Jie Li above the Storm Sea, while Bai Yue arrived in a grand temple.
• A beautiful woman in human form called Bai Yue the fated one, and Bai Yue asked who she was.

Yan Ji explained Yuan Bin’s history and gave Bai Yue the Ring of Fire Refining and Yi Jian Fu, asking him to search for her missing Master. Bai Yue began secluded cultivation inside Yi Jian Fu and, after eight years, gained the Space Law’s acknowledgment, discovering that his perception could reach nearly two light-years in one direction.

• Yan Ji told Bai Yue that Yuan Bin, the Star Refining Race’s Blade Forging King, had turned his divine kingdom into Yi Jian Fu before disappearing, and that the ring Bai Yue found had marked him as Yuan Bin’s destined inheritor.
• Yan Ji gave Bai Yue the Ring of Fire Refining and Yi Jian Fu, then asked him to help search for Yuan Bin; Bai Yue agreed, and Yan Ji departed to look for news herself.
• Bai Yue released Yan Mo and Yan Lang from Yi Jian Fu, then used its Sword Lights to kill the trapped alien immortals before settling down to cultivate the Space Law.
• Bai Yue spent eight years in secluded cultivation while Luo Feng began the Magic Sound Divine General inheritance; when Bai Yue emerged, he had gained the Space Law’s acknowledgment.
• Bai Yue tested his new spatial perception and found that it reached 0.01 light-years in all directions and nearly two light-years when focused in one direction.

Bai Yue gained recognition from the Space Law, improving his Main Body Universe and learning to teleport vast distances. When King Yong'e trapped him on Star Refining Continent, Bai Yue destroyed the Mechanical Race expert’s spacecraft and overwhelmed him, while other powerful fighters watched and the Mechanical Race considered intervening.

• Bai Yue practiced teleportation on Star Refining Continent and gained recognition from the Space Law, drawing the attention of nearby experts.
• Bai Yue sensed how the Space Origin Law recognition changed the structure of his Main Body Universe and decided to resume hunting Alien Races for military merits and seek information about the Heavenly Horned Ant.
• King Yong'e surrounded Bai Yue with ten base spacecraft and activated his Ten Directions Hell, while King Fushi warned Bai Yue about the Mechanical Race expert.
• Bai Yue smashed one of King Yong'e’s base spacecraft with the Primordial Staff, then emerged unharmed from the remaining spacecraft’s laser assault.
• Bai Yue destroyed King Yong'e’s spacecraft and mechanical puppets with overwhelming speed, exposing King Yong'e as Mechanical Race experts debated whether to rescue him.

Walker killed King Yong'e and defeated the Mechanical Race alliance, earning enough military merit and enslaving sixteen King-ranked experts. The Human Race and Hong Meng experts named him Battle King and welcomed him at No. 3 Barracks Base, where he settled into a private island residence.

• Venerable Revelation sent Mechanical Race experts to rescue King Yong'e, but Walker killed him, then charged into their formation instead of fleeing.
• King Hennu recognized Walker as a King-Seal Limit expert and urged the alliance to escape, but Walker's domain and the Human Race's spatial lockdown trapped them.
• Walker overcame their Soul Attacks, killed the Mechanical Race experts, and enslaved sixteen surviving King-ranked experts from the alliance's subordinate races.
• King Fushi introduced Walker to the gathered Human Race and Hong Meng experts, who agreed to call him Battle King.
• King Fushi and the others escorted Walker to No. 3 Barracks Base, where the Military System assigned him a private island, and he hosted a banquet before relaxing in its hot spring.

Bai Yue investigated the Ninth Battlefield’s mysterious locations while the Hong Meng debated whether to admit him, then accepted an invitation to join the alliance. He became an official two-star member and learned that he could study the Hong Meng’s information before entering Hong Meng City.

• Bai Yue questioned his sixteen enslaved King-ranked Immortals about the Heavenly Horned Ant and the strange places they had encountered on the Ninth Battlefield.
• The enslaved Immortals described the God Bewildering Domain, a place where even Universe Masters could lose their way, and Bai Yue decided to investigate it.
• In a Virtual Universe hall, Hong Meng experts approved Bai Yue’s admission despite doubts about how he had earned his military merits, since Lord of Chaos City had restricted access to his battle footage.
• Bai Yue welcomed nine King-ranked envoys to his estate and agreed to join the Hong Meng.
• A mysterious human radiance welcomed Bai Yue as an official member, and the envoys explained that his two stars marked the Hong Meng’s recognition of him as a powerful King-Seal Immortal.

Bai Yue studied Hong Meng City’s hierarchy and immense influence before teleporting there to explore the Outer City. After meeting King Mi Huai and learning about its businesses, he discovered that his teacher Lord Gan Wu had opened Nanxing Hall, a popular shop selling divine-body restoration treasures.

• Bai Yue read about Hong Meng City’s star-based ranks, its powerful residents, and its role in the wealth and politics of humanity and many Alien Races.
• Bai Yue teleported to Hong Meng City, learned that its members all had equally frail bodies there, and explored the Outer City.
