Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: The Outbreak of War and Forced Transfer

Key Plot Points and Events

• Several human powerhouses attempt to force Chu Han into the plaza to test its dangers.
• Chu Han pretends to be frightened and defenseless, luring them into lowering their guard.
• Just as they reach for him, he launches a sudden counterattack, using his Immortal Divine Body and concentrated Origin Power to punch all three into the plaza.
• Chu Han deliberately spares their lives, intending to use them as unwilling scouts.
• The plaza immediately seals itself with a blood-red barrier. The three men discover they can enter but cannot escape.
• Thousands of blood-colored stone pillar warriors awaken and surround the intruders.
• The trapped powerhouses attempt to cross the plaza and reach the steps on the far side, believing escape is still possible.
• A second red shield appears before the steps, blocking their route. Their attacks cannot damage it.
• The stone warriors overwhelm and kill all three with crimson laser beams and massive weapons. Their remains are absorbed by the plaza.
• The witnesses realize that entering the plaza means almost certain death: the stone warriors possess bodies and attacks comparable to Star Domain Rank 40 experts and are especially dangerous in the Forbidden Law Land, where Laws cannot be used.
• Before anyone can retreat, the plaza’s red light expands and forcibly teleports roughly fifty thousand human and Insect Race powerhouses into its center.
• The entire group becomes trapped, and the stone warriors prepare to attack everyone. Chu Han remains calm and observes the battlefield with his Spiritual Power.

Character Developments

• Chu Han: Reveals his strength, cunning, and willingness to manipulate others for reconnaissance. He successfully disguises his power, counters the attackers, and remains composed after the mass teleportation, carefully analyzing the developing conflict.
• The three human powerhouses: Their arrogance leads them to underestimate Chu Han. After being used as test subjects, they become trapped, panic, and are ultimately slaughtered.
• The surrounding powerhouses: Their initial confidence and willingness to bully Chu Han collapse after witnessing the plaza’s killing mechanisms. Fear replaces greed, but they are denied the chance to withdraw.
• The stone pillar warriors: Awaken as ruthless, highly organized guardians of the plaza. Their coordinated movements, laser attacks, and powerful weapons make them nearly impossible to evade.

Significant Themes

• Deception and hidden strength: Chu Han’s apparent weakness allows him to reverse the situation and exploit his enemies’ arrogance.
• The cruelty of ancient ruins: The plaza operates according to absolute, ancient rules, trapping and killing intruders without regard for their strength or status.
• Greed versus survival: The promise of extraordinary opportunities initially drives the powerhouses forward, but the deaths of the three scouts reveal that survival must come first.
• Loss of control and fate: Once inside the ruins, individuals can no longer determine their own actions. Even those who recognize the danger are forcibly dragged into the battle.
• The danger of underestimating an opponent: Both the three human experts and the wider crowd misjudge Chu Han, while the trapped fighters also underestimate the plaza’s defenses.

Character Interactions

• The three human powerhouses attempt to coerce Chu Han, treating him as an easy target.
• Chu Han deceives them by acting terrified, then violently sends them into the plaza.
• The crowd watches Chu Han’s counterattack with surprise but quickly focuses on the trapped men.
• The stone warriors systematically corner and destroy the three powerhouses, demonstrating the plaza’s lethal defenses to everyone outside.
• After the forced teleportation, humans and Insect Race members are trapped together, creating the conditions for a massive, unavoidable battle while Chu Han observes the situation from within the crowd.

Summary of “Method to Pass Through the Plaza”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Stone Pillar Warriors launch an immediate, overwhelming attack on the human and Insect Race powerhouses trapped in the plaza. Dense Crimson Lasers cover the entire area, while Stone Soldiers close in with massive axes.
• A 35th Rank Star Domain human is killed instantly by the lasers, demonstrating the deadly nature of the battlefield.
• Chu Han survives by combining his Seventh Realm Spiritual Power—which allows him to predict attacks—with exceptionally precise physical footwork. Rather than fighting the Stone Soldiers directly, he constantly slips through gaps in their formations while studying them.
• Chu Han determines that the Stone Pillar Warriors possess:
  • Bodies as hard as supreme treasures
  • Immense physical strength
  • Both long-range laser attacks and close-range combat ability
  • Complete immunity to the disadvantage caused by the plaza’s Law-sealing environment
• Because Laws are sealed, all human and Insect Race fighters must rely only on their physical bodies and Origin Power. The Stone Soldiers therefore possess a decisive advantage.
• Casualties mount rapidly. Of the more than 50,000 powerhouses who entered the plaza, over half die in a short time.
• The five peak human powerhouses finally unleash their full strength, shattering numerous Stone Soldiers. However, the defeated warriors instantly regenerate through the plaza’s red light, restoring themselves completely.
• The three Insect Race queens then attack. Their superior physiques and powerful corrosive Origin energy allow them to destroy thousands of Stone Soldiers at once, but even those completely disintegrated warriors regenerate.
• The endless resurrection mechanism overwhelms both factions. After continued slaughter, fewer than 10,000 of the original 50,000 powerhouses remain.
• A turning point occurs when one Stone Pillar Warrior is destroyed so completely that it becomes fine stone powder and fails to regenerate. The human who killed it is immediately surrounded by red light and transported to the steps outside the plaza.
• The survivors realize that the Stone Soldiers are not truly invincible: they can be permanently killed, and defeating one grants the victor safe passage out of the plaza.
• Hope returns, and the remaining fighters begin attacking with renewed determination. More Stone Soldiers are permanently destroyed, and each successful killer is transported to safety.

Character Developments

• Chu Han demonstrates exceptional calm, tactical intelligence, and survival ability. Instead of wasting energy in direct combat, he carefully analyzes the Stone Warriors while using prediction and movement to remain unharmed.
• The five peak human powerhouses initially hold back but are forced to reveal their full strength when the human faction faces annihilation. Their power is impressive but insufficient against endlessly regenerating enemies.
• The three Insect Race queens display overwhelming destructive ability and physical superiority over the human experts. However, their confidence is shaken when even their most powerful attacks fail to prevent resurrection, leaving them solemn and temporarily helpless.
• The surviving human and Insect Race fighters undergo a dramatic emotional shift: they move from panic and despair to renewed courage once a method of permanent victory is discovered.

Significant Themes

• Despair versus hope: The seemingly endless resurrection of the Stone Soldiers reduces the battlefield to hopeless slaughter, but the discovery of their weakness restores morale.
• Adaptation and intelligence over brute force: Chu Han survives through observation, prediction, and movement rather than direct strength. The eventual solution also comes from recognizing the battlefield’s hidden mechanism.
• The limits of power: Even the strongest human and Insect Race combatants cannot overcome an enemy that endlessly regenerates through conventional force.
• Team morale and revelation: A single successful escape transforms the psychological state of the entire battlefield, showing how knowledge can be more valuable than raw power.
• The plaza as a trial: The battlefield functions not merely as a contest of strength but as a puzzle requiring fighters to discover the correct method of defeating its guardians.

Character Interactions

• Chu Han avoids direct confrontation with the Stone Soldiers, weaving between their attacks while observing their capabilities.
• Human and Insect Race powerhouses fight alongside one another under extreme pressure, though both factions suffer massive losses.
• The five human elites and three Insect Race queens each attempt to reverse the battle through overwhelming attacks, but their efforts fail against the resurrection mechanism.
• The successful human fighter’s escape becomes a shared revelation for everyone present, inspiring the remaining fighters to target the Stone Soldiers more aggressively and seek their own passage out of the plaza.

Key plot points

• Chu Han realizes that each Stone Pillar Warrior has three lives and only disappears permanently after being killed three times. Destroying one grants escape from the blood-red square.
• He targets a warrior that has already revived twice, kills it with a concentrated series of punches, and is transported to the staircase leading toward the stone stele.
• The staircase imposes escalating pressure that suppresses and compresses Origin Power. As Chu Han climbs, every ten drops condense into one: his original 10,000 drops become 1,000, each far more powerful than before.
• He reaches the apparent limit of his strength, then forces himself one step higher. By surpassing that limit, he triggers a response from the staircase: its energy enters him and begins generating new Origin Power.

Character development

• Chu Han demonstrates keen observation by deciphering the Stone Warriors’ three-life rule.
• He remains composed and determined amid danger, using the staircase’s pressure as an opportunity for cultivation rather than treating it as merely an obstacle.
• His defining trait—pushing beyond limits—takes him past the point where many earlier arrivals have stopped, culminating in a breakthrough.

Significant themes

• Perseverance and self-surpassing: Chu Han’s progress comes from continuing after reaching his apparent limit.
• Adversity as cultivation: The staircase’s crushing pressure refines his power and strengthens his foundation.
• Quality over quantity: Losing most of his Origin Power drops makes the remaining power vastly stronger.

Character interactions

• Chu Han has no sustained conversations or alliances in this chapter. His main interactions are with the Stone Pillar Warrior he defeats and the staircase’s trial, while other Human and Insect fighters serve as points of comparison—some ahead of him, some following behind.

Key events

• The ancient site rewards cultivators who push beyond their limits. Chu Han breaks through his first limit and receives a massive infusion of high-quality Origin Power, increasing his combat strength more than tenfold.
• Realizing the trial rewards growth rather than favoring any race, he resumes climbing. His renewed strength lets him overtake many experts who are stalled by the stairs’ pressure.
• He reaches a second barrier: the Star Sea–to–Star Domain cultivation bottleneck. Though his foundation and Origin Power are exceptionally strong, he cannot climb farther without advancing realms.
• Chu Han decides that a flawless breakthrough requires perfecting his Chaos Law. He uses his perfected Time and Spatial Laws to fill its remaining gaps, then begins cultivating with rare Chaos Stones.
• The stairs’ protective rules shield him while he meditates, preventing passing Human and Insect Race experts from attacking him.

Character developments

• Chu Han moves from struggling under the stairs’ pressure to understanding and exploiting the trial’s rules. His first breakthrough greatly strengthens him, but he recognizes the advantage is temporary.
• Rather than forcing progress, he shows patience and strategic discipline by pausing to build a superior Star Domain foundation.
• His ambition is not merely to advance realms: he seeks to forge Chaos Origin Power with extraordinary breadth and potential.

Character interactions

• Other cultivators serve as a contrast to Chu Han: most fear the pressure and remain stuck, while he dares to exceed his limits and passes them.
• The advanced Insect Queens and Human experts are already far ahead, underscoring that the competition continues and no lead is permanent.
• Although experts from both races pass close to Chu Han during cultivation, the ancient stairs’ rules keep them from harming him.

Significant themes

• Growth through adversity: Rewards come to those who challenge their limits.
• No lasting advantage: The trial offers everyone a chance to grow, so continued progress matters more than an early lead.
• Strong foundations over rushed advancement: Chu Han chooses a perfected breakthrough over climbing further with an incomplete foundation.
• Patience and preparation: His seclusion demonstrates that strategic restraint can be more valuable than relentless forward motion.

Key plot points and events

• Chu Han remains stationary on the ruin’s steps for over a year, focusing on perfecting his foundation while other Human and Insect Race powerhouses advance or struggle with their own bottlenecks.
• His Chaos Law reaches completion, fusing time, space, and other laws into a flawless Chaos Origin. After a month of refining his Origin Power with this law, he breaks through from the Star Sea Realm into the First-Order Star Domain Realm.
• The breakthrough triggers a massive surge: Chu Han absorbs the ruin’s rule energy, all nearby Chaos Stones, and every Rice Crystal in his Origin Space. His cultivation rockets to the Twentieth-Order Star Domain Realm.
• Though his realm is only twentieth order, his highly compressed Origin Power exceeds that of a fiftieth-order powerhouse. His Immortal Divine Body is also transformed, with its full strength now available even in his ordinary form.
• Once his cultivation stabilizes, the steps’ pressure no longer impedes him. He resumes climbing, easily passing other contestants.

Character development

• Chu Han’s patience and resolve are rewarded: rather than rushing ahead, he uses the time to build a foundation that surpasses ordinary limits.
• His breakthrough marks a complete transformation in both cultivation and physical power. He goes from an apparently stalled Star Sea Realm cultivator to a formidable force whose true strength far exceeds his displayed rank.

Significant themes

• Patience and preparation: apparent stagnation can be the groundwork for a major leap.
• Foundation over appearances: Chu Han’s nominal realm understates his actual power.
• Transformation through perseverance: sustained effort turns a bottleneck into an extraordinary breakthrough.

Character interactions

• Chu Han has no direct conversations in this chapter. His progress is set against other Human and Insect Race powerhouses, who remain stalled or climb slowly, while he quietly surpasses them after his breakthrough.

Key plot points and events

• Chu Han reaches a new barrier on the Heavenly Stairway: crushing pressure calibrated to the late Star Domain Realm. The contenders halted there are formidable, while the five Human Race elites and three Insect Queens remain far ahead.
• Seeing the trial as a chance to strengthen the foundations he will need to pursue the Divine Kingdom Realm, Chu Han presses on despite the danger.
• The next stair nearly destroys him. The pressure cracks his body, shatters his leg bones, and forces him to his knees. His Chaos Origin and Immortal Divine Body repeatedly heal and reinforce him until he stands and fully withstands the trial.
• The Ruins reward his endurance with a flood of origin energy. Chu Han’s cultivation surges from the 20th to the 25th Rank of the Star Domain Realm, greatly deepening his foundations and increasing his battle strength.
• With the pressure overcome, he climbs rapidly, passes numerous contenders, and catches up to the 90th-Rank Human Race powerhouses and the three Insect Queens. They enter the Ancient Stele—the gateway to the Ruins Core—before he can reach them.
• Chu Han races toward the finish, only to encounter the trial’s final, unprecedented bottleneck. Whether he can break through it remains unresolved.

Character development

• Chu Han demonstrates greater confidence and resolve than in earlier trials. Rather than retreat from overwhelming pain, he uses it to temper his body and origin.
• His ambition is directed beyond immediate advancement: he deliberately seeks strong foundations for the distant Divine Kingdom Realm.
• His success turns him into a far stronger competitor, though the final barrier tests whether his determination and growth are enough.

Significant themes

• Endurance and transformation: Extreme pressure becomes a means of growth.
• Strong foundations over quick progress: Chu Han’s long-term ambition shapes how he approaches cultivation.
• Determination and competition: The gap between him and the strongest contenders fuels his resolve to catch up and surpass them.
• Uncertain opportunity: The Ancient Stele is within reach, but one final obstacle could still end his attempt.

Character interactions

• Chu Han’s main interactions are with the Stairway’s trial and its pressure, which repeatedly injure him as his healing power counters it.
• He has no direct exchange with the eight elite contenders; he watches them enter the Ancient Stele and pursues them, setting up the final race.

Key plot points and events

• Chu Han reaches the final step before the stele’s core but is stopped by an absolute restriction. It cannot be overcome through strength, cultivation, or ordinary use of the rules; it tests a deeper qualification.
• Unable to force his way through, Chu Han uses the crushing pressure to refine his Origin River. The Ruins replenishes the power he loses, letting him repeatedly compress, purify, and expand his reserves.
• After a year, he has advanced to the 30th-Tier Star Domain Realm and grown much stronger, while powerful Human and Insect contenders remain trapped near the finish.
• Chu Han’s persistent probing with Seventh Realm Spiritual Power reveals a tiny flaw in the restriction. His consciousness slips through, reaches the stele, and contacts its damaged, long-dormant spirit.
• Fragments from the Stele Spirit reveal the truth: entry requires Divine Power, not exceptional combat ability or cultivation level.
• Chu Han realizes he may qualify by drawing out the last trace of Phoenix Divine Power inherited from Luo Yue, and begins mobilizing his Chaos energy to awaken it.

Character developments and interactions

• Chu Han shifts from repeatedly attacking the barrier to patient cultivation and investigation. His ingenuity and persistence let him find an approach no other contender has discovered.
• The trapped Human and Insect elites share information and test possible solutions, but none can pass without Divine Power.
• Chu Han’s interaction with the Stele Spirit is incomplete but decisive: its scattered memories explain the restriction and point him toward a possible solution.
• Luo Yue is not present, but her Phoenix inheritance becomes crucial to Chu Han’s plan. Yemen Caesar’s divine inheritance serves as an example of someone who could pass the restriction naturally.

Significant themes

• Qualification over force: Power alone cannot overcome a barrier designed to recognize a higher form of energy.
• Patience and adaptation: Chu Han turns an obstacle into a means of growth, then succeeds by changing tactics.
• The limits of knowledge: The Stele Spirit’s damaged state provides only fragments, leaving Chu Han to piece together the truth.
• Inherited power and opportunity: Divine inheritance separates those who can enter the core from even the greatest ordinary cultivators.

Key plot points and events

• Chu Han uses Chaos Origin to refine a trace of Phoenix Divine Power, then tests it against the staircase’s final restriction. The barrier responds, confirming that Divine Power is required, but his small reserve cannot break through.
• He spends months producing Phoenix Divine Power from Chaos Origin and repeatedly eroding the barrier. Each attempt fails, though the restriction steadily weakens.
• This work deepens his understanding of Divine Power and greatly refines his origin and combat strength, despite his cultivation rank remaining at star-domain rank 30.
• A refreshed system lottery awards him a Chaos Godstone, which contains energy capable of condensing true Chaos Divine Power.
• Chu Han refines the stone and forms five drops of Chaos Divine Power. He then converts all his Phoenix Divine Power into Chaos Divine Power, creating a coherent reserve comparable to that once displayed by Yemen Caesar.

Character development and interactions

• Chu Han shows patience and persistence, continuing his painstaking work despite repeated failures.
• He adapts quickly when the Chaos Godstone offers a better route, abandoning his original plan in favor of power that is more compatible with his own origin.
• His interactions are primarily with the staircase’s restriction and the system lottery: he tests and gradually weakens the former, while the latter provides the breakthrough resource.

Significant themes

• Persistence and gradual progress: Repeated effort weakens an obstacle that cannot be overcome all at once.
• Adaptability: Chu Han changes course when a more suitable opportunity appears.
• Compatibility and self-directed growth: Chaos Divine Power proves superior for him because it shares his origin, while foreign Phoenix power serves only as an interim catalyst.
• Power through refinement: His strength grows through deeper mastery and purification, not through a change in rank.

Key plot points and events

• Chu Han completes his transformation from Phoenix Divine Power to supreme Chaos Divine Power, preparing to cross the final qualification barrier into the stele’s core.
• Chaos Divine Power reveals that the apparently invisible barrier is a Rune Divine Array built from ancient Cosmic Runes. Chu Han realizes that empowering every rune will weaken and destroy it.
• He pours all his Chaos Divine Power into the array. The barrier dissolves into golden light that enters his body, and his power and the Origin River are immediately restored—stronger than before.
• Chu Han is transported to the Chaos Hall, where he finds 108 immense Inheritance Divine Steles. He learns that each contains an inheritance capable of leading to the Divine Kingdom Realm.
• Knowing the inheritances vary greatly in rank, Chu Han considers taking all 108. But the steles offer no labels or guidance, leaving him to judge their nature himself.

Character development

• Chu Han demonstrates patience and preparation, then uses his understanding of Chaos Divine Power to solve the barrier’s hidden mechanism.
• His shock and excitement at discovering the inheritances give way to calm, strategic reasoning.
• His ambition grows beyond choosing a single path: he imagines combining all 108 inheritances into an unprecedented foundation.

Significant themes

• Perception and understanding: Higher-level power lets Chu Han see the true structure behind an obstacle.
• Opportunity and risk: The inheritances could open the path to godhood, but choosing poorly could hinder his future.
• Ambition and self-reliance: Chu Han dares to seek more than others—and must rely on his own judgment because no guidance is provided.
• The rarity of advancement: Reaching the Divine Kingdom Realm usually requires a proper inheritance, making the hall’s opportunity extraordinary.

Character interactions

• The chapter contains no direct interactions with other characters. Chu Han’s central “interaction” is with the barrier and the 108 steles: he deciphers the former’s array and confronts the latter as an immense, unguided choice.

Chapter Summary

Key plot points

• Chu Han explores the Chaos Hall’s 108 inheritance steles, linking with each through his Spiritual Power to learn the nature of its Divine Power. He takes years to examine them carefully rather than choosing the first promising option.
• At the sixty-second stele, he encounters the personal inheritance of the Caesar God. Recognizing the danger—he killed Yemen Caesar and is an enemy of the Caesar lineage—Chu Han immediately breaks the connection and moves on.
• Despite withdrawing, Chu Han’s aura and Mental Form have already been recorded. The Caesar God uses his power to look back through time, identifies Chu Han, and then returns to silence without revealing what he intends to do.
• After studying all 108 inheritances, Chu Han concludes that none suits his Chaos Origin. Since a person may bind to only one inheritance, choosing one would permanently restrict his cultivation. He decides to forge his own path instead.
• As he prepares to leave, a previously hidden space appears at the far end of the hall. It contains a single immense statue of an ancient, graceful old man surrounded by seven-colored radiance.

Character developments and interactions

• Chu Han shows patience and discipline, devoting years to understanding every inheritance before deciding. His confidence in his own Chaos-based path ultimately outweighs the appeal of powerful orthodox inheritances.
• The Caesar God becomes aware of Chu Han after the brief connection with his stele and recognizes him as Yemen Caesar’s killer. Their conflict is now personal, though Chu Han does not know he has been identified.
• Chu Han’s interaction with the Caesar inheritance is brief but consequential: he withdraws quickly to protect himself, yet the connection exposes his identity.
• The statue’s appearance reflects Chu Han’s cultural background and personal perceptions, suggesting the newly revealed space responds to him in some way.

Significant themes

• Choosing one’s own path: Chu Han rejects established inheritances rather than accept a destiny shaped by another’s cultivation.
• Careful judgment over quick reward: He treats the choice as irreversible and investigates every option thoroughly.
• The cost of exposure: Even a brief connection can leave a powerful enemy with enough information to identify him.
• Individual potential versus tradition: The orthodox inheritances are powerful but too limited to contain Chu Han’s all-encompassing Chaos Origin.

Plot points

• In the Chaos Hall, Chu Han senses that a stone statue is an extraordinary presence—possibly the hall’s deepest secret and the source of a true Chaos-related opportunity.
• His Seventh Realm Spiritual Power disappears into the statue without effect. When he pours in Chaos Divine Power, he detects a dormant pulse stirring.
• Chu Han feeds the statue all his Chaos Divine Power, then adds Spiritual Power and Origin Power. After an unknown length of time, the statue awakens in a burst of golden light.
• A luminous figure emerges and transports Chu Han to a vast golden realm. It reveals itself as an ancient-looking man identical to the statue.
• The old man says that only a wisp of his lingering soul remains, and that he sealed himself in the Chaos Hall when circumstances left him no other choice.

Character developments and interactions

• Chu Han moves from suspicion to determined investigation, adapting his approach when Spiritual Power fails. His rare command of pure Chaos Power proves essential to awakening the statue.
• Though startled by the old man’s incomprehensible power, Chu Han remains composed and respectful, waiting for him to speak and then asking who he is and why he was sealed.
• The old man regards Chu Han warmly, praises his youth and talent, and recognizes how rare his Chaos Power is. His explanation raises more questions than it answers.

Significant themes

• Hidden power and discovery: The statue conceals a profound secret that can be reached only through the right kind of energy.
• Limits of perception: Chu Han cannot assess the old man’s realm, emphasizing how far beyond known power he stands.
• Ancient mysteries and sacrifice: The old man’s sealed remnant suggests a vast past conflict or crisis whose nature remains unknown.
• Potential and rarity: Chu Han’s unusual talent and Chaos Power set him apart and make him capable of awakening an ancient presence.

Plot points and events

• The Chaos Star God explains that he was never defeated: his cultivation surpassed the limits of the universe, forcing him to ascend to a higher dimension. He left sealed remnants and inheritance opportunities across countless universes.
• Chu Han is the first to break the seal completely, thanks to his perfected Chaos Origin and ability to produce pure Chaos Power.
• The Chaos Star God transfers his full inheritance to Chu Han, including the origin of Chaos Power, vast cultivation knowledge, Divine Kingdom Realm techniques, combat arts, and secret methods.
• The inheritance gathers every scattered remnant and opportunity into Chu Han, making him the sole bearer of the Chaos Star God’s complete legacy.
• Chu Han’s Origin Space merges with the Star God’s golden space. Within it, Chu Han can wield Chaos Power without depletion or resistance, and even a Divine Kingdom Realm powerhouse cannot harm him while he is inside.
• Chu Han enters seclusion to refine the inheritance. Meanwhile, the Secret Realm trials continue, leaving seventeen other top-tier warriors, all of whom complete stele inheritances.
• Ten years later, the Secret Realm begins to destabilize and approach collapse. Chu Han’s seclusion ends after he fully absorbs the inheritance.

Character development and interactions

• Chu Han moves from confusion to reverence and gratitude as he learns the truth about the Star God. His ambition also shows: he is pleased that no one else can compete for the same inheritance. After ten years of cultivation, he has made the legacy fully his own.
• The Chaos Star God reveals his history and recognizes Chu Han as worthy because they share the path of Chaos. He entrusts Chu Han with his entire legacy before his remnant soul disappears.
• Their interaction is respectful and direct: the Star God explains the inheritance, Chu Han offers sincere thanks, and the Star God’s final act is to pass his power and knowledge to him.

Significant themes

• Inheritance and destiny: Chu Han’s unique mastery of Chaos allows him to claim an opportunity no one else has unlocked.
• Power and transcendence: The Star God’s ascent establishes a scale of power beyond the established Divine Kingdom Realm.
• Preparation and mastery: Receiving immense power is only the beginning; Chu Han must refine it through years of cultivation.
• Exclusivity and survival: The unified inheritance makes Chu Han the only heir, while his transformed Origin Space gives him an exceptional means of protection.

Plot points and events

• After twenty years in the Ruins’ secret realm—only one month in the outside world—Chu Han reaches Star Domain Rank 40 and greatly improves his control of Chaos Power.
• The secret realm begins collapsing and expels him. It then vanishes completely, leaving several thousand surviving Human and Insect Race fighters gathered in Black Death Abyss.
• Eighteen powerful figures emerge from the realm’s core: three Insect Queens and three elite High Insects, alongside eleven prominent Human experts. Chu Han is among them, but conceals his true strength and appears to be a newly advanced Star Domain cultivator.
• His apparent weakness, combined with his emergence from the core, convinces the crowd that he must have received a supreme inheritance. The Insect Queens consider attacking but withdraw rather than risk a fight with the assembled Human elites.
• The Human crowd turns its attention to Chu Han. Two men who previously blocked him from entering the secret realm reveal that he was once only at the Star Sea Realm and accuse him of gaining a Divine Kingdom inheritance.
• Chu Han denies possessing anything beyond an ordinary opportunity that helped him break through. The crowd dismisses his explanation, seals the surrounding space, and threatens to take his inheritance by force. The chapter ends as more experts confirm they saw him enter the Stele Hall.

Character developments and interactions

• Chu Han has become much stronger and more precise in using Chaos Power, but deliberately hides his cultivation and abilities. He remains composed and firmly denies the accusations.
• The Insect Queens are wary and calculating: despite their interest in Chu Han’s apparent prize, they retreat rather than provoke the Human experts.
• The two Human experts who once obstructed Chu Han publicly identify him and inflame suspicion, seemingly motivated by greed and resentment.
• The Human crowd shifts from curiosity to collective hostility, treating Chu Han’s secret-realm access as proof that he holds a valuable inheritance.

Significant themes

• Appearance versus reality: Chu Han looks like a weak newcomer, while his actual strength is far greater.
• Greed and entitlement: The crowd assumes Chu Han’s opportunity belongs to them simply because they believe he is too weak to deserve it.
• Power and restraint: Both Chu Han and the Insect Queens conceal or hold back their strength, while the Human experts use numbers and spatial control to threaten him.
• Unjust suspicion: Chu Han’s truthful denial carries no weight once the crowd has decided what it wants to believe.

Plot points and events

• At the secret realm’s exit, jealous experts demand that Chu Han reveal the Divine Kingdom Realm inheritance they assume he gained from a stele.
• Chu Han denies receiving any stele inheritance. In truth, he obtained the Chaos Star God Inheritance, which lies outside the steles’ system and surpasses the other gods’ inheritances.
• Riv, a Human Race supreme expert who reached the ninety-fourth tier of the Star Domain Realm, declares that the steles always grant an inheritance to anyone who enters. His claim convinces the crowd that Chu Han is hiding one.
• Seeing the crowd’s greed and the space sealed against escape, Chu Han stops arguing. He openly calls out Riv’s greed and narrow understanding.
• Riv, publicly insulted, threatens to seize Chu Han’s opportunity. His deeper motive is that his own Star Spirit God inheritance is incomplete: he lacks its core and doubts it will let him break through to the Divine Kingdom Realm.
• Riv seals the surrounding space and allows more than a dozen Human Race experts to attack Chu Han. Two men Chu Han previously defeated warn the others not to underestimate him.
• A resentful expert at the fortieth tier launches an “Annihilation Palm.” Chu Han gathers his Origin Power into his fist to counterattack, but the chapter ends before the clash is resolved.

Character developments

• Chu Han remains composed under pressure, shifting from denial to a clear-eyed assessment of his enemies. He openly challenges Riv rather than submitting, while looking for a chance to escape.
• Riv reveals that his respectable public image masks ambition and fear. His incomplete inheritance and uncertainty about reaching the Divine Kingdom Realm fuel his desire to take Chu Han’s.
• The surrounding experts abandon concern for the truth, treating Chu Han as prey because they believe he carries a priceless inheritance. The first attacker’s envy and frustration turn into a direct assault.

Significant themes

• Greed and envy: The crowd’s desire for Chu Han’s supposed treasure overwhelms fairness and reason.
• Power and vulnerability: Chu Han is widely outmatched in status and numbers, yet the attackers are warned that his true strength may exceed appearances.
• Incomplete gains and ambition: Riv’s powerful inheritance has not satisfied him; its limitations intensify his hunger for more.
• Truth versus perception: Chu Han’s real inheritance is unknown, but the crowd’s assumptions matter more than his denial.

Character interactions

• The crowd interrogates and threatens Chu Han, while Riv uses his authority to validate their suspicions.
• Chu Han confronts Riv verbally, exposing the greed behind his claims; Riv responds with a threat of capture.
• Riv gives the eager Human Race experts permission to attack, and Chu Han’s former opponents warn them to be cautious.
• The resentful attacker strikes first, setting up Chu Han’s counterattack.

Plot points and events

• Chu Han, still at Star Domain Rank 40, reveals the extraordinary foundation he built by repeatedly refining his Origin Power and tempering it through the Chaos Star God inheritance.
• He kills a Rank 40 attacker with one punch, then releases his full aura, stunning the onlookers with both his cultivation and strength.
• Using the Spatial Law to replicate his attack across the battlefield, Chu Han kills more than a dozen approaching experts in a single strike.
• Riv and the watching Human Race experts realize Chu Han gained an immense opportunity in the Secret Realm. Their shock turns to greed, and a much larger force attacks him—including veterans as powerful as Rank 80.
• Chu Han’s clash with a Rank 80 veteran unleashes a devastating shockwave that kills scores of the attackers caught behind the veteran. Chu Han is initially overwhelmed by the older man’s vastly greater reserves of Origin Power.
• The invading energy is then devoured by Chu Han’s Chaos Origin. Though the impact wounds him, his Immortal Divine Body heals him immediately.

Character developments

• Chu Han shifts from concealment to open combat, demonstrating confidence in his foundation, Spatial Law, devouring Chaos Origin, and rapid healing. He remains calm even when facing a far stronger opponent.
• Riv loses his composure briefly, then becomes consumed by greed for the power behind Chu Han’s advancement.
• The attackers abandon restraint and dignity, revealing how quickly their awe turns into ruthless self-interest.

Significant themes

• True strength versus rank: Chu Han’s carefully refined foundation lets him defeat opponents at his level with ease, though a veteran’s sheer reserves can still overwhelm him.
• Power invites danger: Chu Han’s display of strength exposes the value of his Secret Realm opportunity and draws an even larger assault.
• Adaptation and survival: His Chaos Origin and Immortal Divine Body turn a seemingly decisive disadvantage into an advantage.
• Greed and hypocrisy: Even powerful, esteemed experts discard their dignity when tempted by the prospect of seizing Chu Han’s gains.

Character interactions

• Chu Han kills the first group of attackers without hesitation, shocking the surrounding crowd.
• Riv and the onlookers respond to Chu Han’s revealed power with covetous intent, encouraging a renewed assault.
• Chu Han directly clashes with the Rank 80 veteran; the battle also destroys many of the veteran’s followers, while the veteran’s Origin Power ultimately becomes fuel for Chu Han’s Chaos Origin.

Key plot points and events

• Chu Han recognizes that his 40th-rank cultivation leaves him at a disadvantage against an 80th-rank opponent’s greater reserves, despite the superior quality of his Chaos Origin.
• He unleashes his hidden Chaos Divine Power, greatly amplifying his strength. Concealing the change, he uses spatial and temporal abilities to evade detection and strike through his opponent’s defenses.
• Chu Han destroys the expert’s origin core and absorbs all of his Origin Power, killing him before the surrounding fighters realize what happened. Riv is the only one who senses the death.
• Chu Han breaks Riv’s spatial seal and escapes. Riv rallies the other Human Race experts and pursues him.
• Chu Han deliberately leaves an aura trail, draws Riv to an isolated area, and waits for him. Riv demands Chu Han’s secret-realm gains and threatens him, confident that his inherited Divine Power makes him superior.

Character developments

• Chu Han shifts from recognizing his limitations to acting with calculated confidence. He reveals the scale of his hidden power and shows that he is deliberately guiding the pursuit, with Riv as his real target.

Character interactions

• Riv detects the death, orders the Human Race experts to pursue Chu Han, and follows his trail himself.
• When Riv catches up, he belittles Chu Han, demands his discoveries, and threatens him. Chu Han responds calmly, refusing to accept Riv’s presumed victory.

Plot points and events

• Chu Han breaks Riv’s divine chains and attacks directly, but Riv’s greater strength steadily overpowers the assault.
• Having anticipated the clash, Chu Han detonates a concealed Cosmic Divine Talisman while Riv is focused on defending against the frontal attack. The blast shatters Riv’s body and Origin, leaving him near death.
• Chu Han restrains Riv, cuts off his remaining power, and devours him to claim his Origin energy and Star Spirit Divine Power inheritance.
• In seclusion, Chu Han releases Blood Vine and Little Black to roam the Black Death Abyss, then absorbs Riv’s power. He advances to the 45th Rank of the Star Domain Realm and strengthens his foundation and Divine Power.
• Two days after Riv’s death, his vanished aura shocks the Human Race. Riv’s status makes many reluctant to believe he is dead, but Chu Han’s safe return intensifies suspicion. Major factions begin mobilizing to pursue the opportunity they believe he possesses.

Character developments

• Chu Han proves that intelligence and preparation can overcome a huge difference in raw strength. He fights boldly, uses a hidden trump card, and turns Riv’s death into a major cultivation breakthrough.

• Chu Han counters Riv’s attacks, then exploits Riv’s confidence and focus to spring the talisman trap.

• Power gained through conflict: Chu Han turns victory into a breakthrough by absorbing his enemy’s resources.
• Consequences of extraordinary power: Chu Han’s survival draws the attention—and hostility—of powerful factions.

Plot points and events

• The Insect Race joins the hunt for Chu Han, driven by both his valuable inheritance and the death of one of their queens.
• Chu Han deliberately makes his location known and uses himself as bait. Blood Vine and Little Black kill and consume the human and Insect Race experts who come after him, growing stronger as they do.
• The losses drain both sides’ high-level fighters and force their wider war into a pause. Chu Han also absorbs the attackers’ origins, rapidly advancing his cultivation.
• After three months, he reaches level 50 of the Star Domain Realm and gains three lottery draws, including two Cosmic Divine Talismans and a one-use God-Sealing Talisman capable of sealing a Divine Kingdom Realm expert’s power.
• The Insect Race launches a massive final assault: twenty Mother Nests, more than twenty late-stage Star Domain experts, and two powerful Insect Queens surround Chu Han.
• The Queens seal time and space, preventing Chu Han from escaping with his usual abilities. They reveal that a god-level guardian traced his past actions and recorded him in the Hunting Registry after he killed their queen. They attack immediately, intent on leaving him no chance to retaliate.

Character developments

• Chu Han remains composed and calculating under pressure. He turns the hunt into a means of strengthening himself and, after reaching level 50, is confident enough to face both races directly.
• Blood Vine and Little Black become increasingly formidable by devouring the attackers and their origins.
• The Insect Queens show that they take Chu Han seriously: aware of his unpredictable methods and past victory over one of their kind, they commit overwhelming force and strike without hesitation.

Character interactions

• Chu Han’s strategy depends on drawing pursuers into encounters where Blood Vine and Little Black can protect him and harvest their strength.
• In the final confrontation, Chu Han questions the Queens’ motives. They explain that the attack is revenge for the slain queen, enabled by the Insect Race’s ability to trace the past.
• The Queens reject any chance of escape, using their combined powers to immobilize Chu Han and surround him with their army.

Significant themes

• Turning danger into advantage: Chu Han uses the hunt to gain power rather than merely survive it.
• Revenge and escalation: Killing one queen triggers a relentless, organized pursuit.
• Deception and hidden knowledge: The Insect Race’s time-tracing ability and Hunting Registry reveal that Chu Han’s past actions were never truly concealed.
• Power and preparation: Chu Han’s growth and new talisman offer hope, but the Queens’ overwhelming force leaves the outcome uncertain.

Plot points and events

• Two powerful Insect Queens overwhelm Chu Han with their combined Divine Power. He recognizes that a direct fight would end in defeat and saves his two Cosmic Divine Talismans for a decisive opportunity.
• Chu Han uses his Seventh Realm Spiritual Power, amplified by the Spirit-Calming Pearl, to evade the queens’ attacks and shatter one queen’s mental defenses.
• While she is incapacitated, he detonates a strengthened Cosmic Divine Talisman. The blast nearly kills the disabled queen and gravely wounds the other, who survives by enclosing herself in a protective cocoon.
• Chu Han kills the dying queen with Chaos Power, then seals the surviving queen inside her cocoon. He penetrates her mental space and prepares to place a powerful Chaos-infused brand on her Mental Origin, intending to subdue her.

Character developments

• Chu Han shows restraint, tactical patience, and growing mastery of his Spiritual and Chaos powers. Rather than confront the queens head-on, he exploits their vulnerability and follows a plan to capture one.
• The Insect Queens are revealed as exceptionally powerful, with vast Divine Power and strong origins. Yet their confidence and reliance on strength leave them vulnerable to Chu Han’s carefully coordinated mental and physical attack. One dies; the other is left badly injured and trapped.

Themes

• Strategy over raw strength: Chu Han cannot match the queens in a direct clash, so timing, preparation, and precision turn the battle.
• Power and vulnerability: Even formidable fighters can be overcome when their defenses are disrupted at the right moment.
• Control and subjugation: The final branding attempt shifts the goal from defeating the surviving queen to permanently binding her.

Character interactions

• Chu Han faces both queens together, using a mental feint to delay the survivor while striking the other.
• After killing one queen, he contains the survivor and uses his knowledge of Insect Race mental techniques to bypass her cocoon’s defenses.
