Chapter Summaries

The Lords of the Universe learned that Duandong River Wu’s Tomb Ship held a dangerous inheritance, and Luo Feng and Vinina decided to head for it. As news spread across the Universe Sea, East Emperor’s ancient tree began to shine with five-colored halos, heralding the Holy Land Ancestor’s appearance.

Lord of Peng Gong, Lord Lu Chong, Lord Ying Ai, and Lord Wu Liang reached the Xihuang Game trial, while Giant Axe Founder prepared to fight his way into the Tomb Ship. The Holy Land Universes and the Divine Eye Clan joined forces to block the entrance and decided to stop Giant Axe Founder in particular.

• Lord of Peng Gong explained that candidates had to solve the Xihuang Game’s incomplete puzzles to qualify for the Duandong River lineage’s inheritance.

North True Star Lord, Dream Fall True Lord, Second True Lord, and Seventh True Lord tried to kill Giant Axe Founder to prevent the Human Race from competing for the Duandong River inheritance. After surviving the Divine Eye Clan's Eternal True God attack, Giant Axe Founder raised his Black Divine Axe and prepared to counterattack.

• North True Star Lord and Dream Fall True Lord opposed Giant Axe Founder's entry into the Tomb Ship, while Second True Lord and Seventh True Lord proposed killing him to endanger the Human Race.
• The four Universe Strongest surrounded Giant Axe Founder, who armed himself with the Black Divine Axe and armor of black light.

• The Eternal True God struck Giant Axe Founder with a soul attack and knocked him away, but he recovered and said the two True Lords would not defeat him again.
• Giant Axe Founder raised the Black Divine Axe and called out, "The Fourteenth!"

Giant Axe Founder revealed the Fifteenth Axe and overwhelmed four Universe Strongests as he fought his way toward the Tomb Ship.

• Giant Axe Founder fought all four opponents and steadily drove them closer to the Tomb Ship despite their efforts to hold him back.
• A beautiful woman with a long staff waited for an opportunity to take North True Star Lord’s spear.

Giant Axe Founder continued battling four Universe Strongests while factions outside the Tomb Ship waited for an opening. Vinina and Mengyue True God then joined the fight, revealing North Prison Lord's peak ninth-tier power and leaving the opposing leaders to suspect he had acquired an Ancient Civilization inheritance.

• The Yun Kui Clan and other factions watched Giant Axe Founder fight North True Star Lord, Dream Fall True Lord, and the Divine Eye Clan's Second True Lord and Seventh True Lord, waiting for more Universe Strongests to arrive.
• Vinina chose not to interfere, hoping Giant Axe Founder's battle would help him advance, while planning to use North Prison Lord's strength as leverage for the spear-type Ultimate Supreme Treasure.

• North True Star Lord and Dream Fall True Lord sent battle footage to their Ancestors, who judged that North Prison Lord had obtained a complete Ancient Civilization inheritance and was using powerful machinery.

Vinina and Luo Feng entered the Tomb Ship to seek the Duandong River lineage’s inheritance, while competing factions formed successive blockades outside. Duandong River warned them of the inheritance’s deadly risks, and Vinina passed the first screening.

• Vinina forced North True Star Lord to surrender the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Spear, then escaped the blockade and sent her Battle Intent Clone into the Tomb Ship while Giant Axe Founder held off the Universe Strongests.
• Giant Axe Founder ended his battle and left, while successive coalitions breached the blockade and sent their own people into the Tomb Ship before a force of nearly seventy Universe Strongests stopped further arrivals.
• Vinina released Luo Feng from her World Ring, and the two agreed to continue despite Duandong River’s warning that only the inheritor could survive the later stages.
• Duandong River sent Vinina and Luo Feng through a scarlet passage to a screening chamber and had them enter a cube-like device one at a time.
• Vinina passed the screening, which measured her bloodline, and Duandong River smiled more brightly when Luo Feng emerged from the device.

Vinina entered Duandong River’s survival trial and fought Kui Luo as its strength rose far beyond the normal screening limit. She endured Kui Luo’s tenth-tier assault and resolved to keep resisting unless it grew even stronger.

• Duandong River sent Vinina into the corridor first and explained that she had to survive Kui Luo’s attacks without hiding in a palace treasure.
• Vinina judged Kui Luo’s initial strength and repeatedly battered it with her spear as it rapidly grew from the top-tier Universe Overlord level through the eighth tier.
• Vinina fought Kui Luo head-on with her spear and secret techniques, impressing Duandong River, who began to suspect she might be the ideal inheritor.
• Kui Luo advanced into the ninth tier and then the tenth, overwhelming Vinina with its speed and power and repeatedly smashing her against the corridor walls.
• Vinina gritted her teeth and endured the assault, deciding she would keep fighting up to her limit before taking shelter in Zuo Shanke’s mechanical flying palace.

Vinina and Luo Feng passed Duandong River’s corridor trial and began studying the Xihuang Game, while factions across the Universe Sea flooded the Tomb Ship with candidates. The selection ended with a fixed group of survivors, after an especially costly mass entry by the First Reincarnation Era.

• Duandong River stopped Kui Luo after Vinina survived the trial, and Vinina continued through the opened gate as Luo Feng entered the corridor from the other side.
• Vinina and Luo Feng reached the Xihuang Game, learned its rules, and began deducing the intricate three-dimensional diagrams.
• Over six months, factions sent vast numbers of candidates into the Tomb Ship, and Duandong River’s increased selection difficulty caused an eighty-percent elimination rate.
• The Holy Land Universes and the Primeval Universe Era joined forces to block further entry, fixing the number of candidates who had survived the Life-and-Death Corridor.
• The survivors included seven Universe Strongest, more than two hundred Lords of the Universe, nearly five thousand Universe Venerables, and over one hundred thousand Immortal Gods; the First Reincarnation Era had lost most of its lower-level experts.

After Vinina advanced far ahead in the Xihuang Game, rival factions attacked her and Luo Feng to stop the humans from gaining the inheritance. Duandong River annihilated two Lords of the Universe for killing candidates, but the factions then resumed their assault, ending with Vinina's Mechanical Palace under a sealing attack.

• Vinina reached the 127th incomplete game, prompting the Divine Eye Clan, Purple Moon Holy Land, East Emperor Holy Land, and other factions to target her and Luo Feng.
• Vinina entered her Mechanical Palace, while ten Lords of the Universe attacked Luo Feng and she warned him to keep their battle from harming weaker candidates.
• Two Immortal Gods died after being caught in the battle, and Duandong River's stone pillars annihilated Lord of Mist Transformation and Lord of Dark Domain.
• The factions moved weaker candidates into Palace Supreme Treasures, then sent ten Lords of the Universe to attack Vinina and Luo Feng again.
• Lord Feng An used a sealing treasure to draw Vinina's Mechanical Palace into its opening.

The three factions failed to swallow Luo Feng’s Star Tower or Vinina’s Mechanical Palace, so they arranged for Lord Huang Ke to use the Ultimate Supreme Treasure Ice Cliff Fortress. When that also failed, they chose to attack Luo Feng with material and soul attacks while he continued pursuing Duandong River’s inheritance.

• The three factions concluded that only an Ultimate Supreme Treasure could seal Luo Feng and Vinina, and Seventh True Lord offered Ice Cliff Fortress for the task.
• Lord Huang Ke agreed to wield Ice Cliff Fortress after the East Emperor Holy Land provided eight Peak Grade Supreme Treasures as collateral.
• Luo Feng embedded the Star Tower around a crystal pillar, making the factions believe the Tomb Ship’s structure prevented Ice Cliff Fortress from swallowing it.
• Ice Cliff Fortress could not move Vinina’s Mechanical Palace, and Vinina continued comprehending the Xihuang Game without concern.
• The East Emperor Holy Land exchanged Ice Cliff Fortress back for its Peak Supreme Treasures, and the factions decided to target Luo Feng with repeated material and soul attacks.

Luo Feng and Vinina continued solving the Xihuang Game while the three factions’ attacks failed to disrupt them. Duandong River recognized their progress, protected them from further attacks, and left the candidates to continue the assessment.

• The three factions repeatedly bombarded Luo Feng’s Star Tower, but he continued comprehending the copied Xihuang Game in the Virtual Universe.
• Primal Ancestor studied the game alongside Vinina and was astonished by her progress, which far outpaced the other human experts.
• After nearly five hundred years, Duandong River announced that Luo Feng had met the game-solving requirement and protected him with a golden secret-technique projection, forbidding anyone from harming him.
• Duandong River explained that solving 6,000 games would grant the inheritance and that the required milestones varied by cultivation level.
• Three years later, Duandong River announced that Vinina had reached the 1,500-game bottleneck and protected her with the same secret technique.

As Vinina broke through the second Xihuang Game bottleneck, Duandong River explained the candidate ranks and the inheritance requirements. Luo Feng also broke through the second bottleneck and then achieved a major willpower breakthrough near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar.

• In the Life-and-Death Corridor, candidates from different factions steadily broke through the first Xihuang Game bottleneck, and Lord Tiebu Mo became the first Universe Strongest to do so.
• Duandong River announced that Vinina had broken through the second bottleneck, named her an elite candidate, and explained the four candidate ranks and their inheritance requirements.
• Vinina continued spending most of her time developing the Zerg Race, while Luo Feng and Venerable Bixue also broke through the second bottleneck.
• East Emperor promised Venerable Bixue exceptional cultivation support, including a chance to become a Universe Strongest and nurture a Small Universe, if he demonstrated enough potential.
• Near the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, Luo Feng's Mo Sha Clan Clone endured the willpower assault until Luo Feng's willpower transformed, letting him advance to a time flow rate of 12,000 times.

Luo Feng reached the third bottleneck early but did not break through the fourth before the three-era Xihuang Game selection ended. Duandong River killed every candidate who had failed to break through the first bottleneck and sent the remaining candidates onward to the core inheritance, while Primal Ancestor reflected on Luo Feng and Vinina’s origins.

• Luo Feng broke through the third bottleneck in one era, leaving the other candidates fearful that he would claim the inheritance without competition.
• Vinina and Venerable Bixue later broke through the third bottleneck, while Luo Feng advanced to the 3,912th game and came within a hundred games of the fourth bottleneck.
• At the end of three eras, Duandong River announced that 292 candidates had broken through the first bottleneck, five the second, and three the third, then dismissed the candidates’ pleas for more time.
• Duandong River annihilated every candidate who had failed to break through the first bottleneck and directed the remaining three hundred toward the hall containing the core inheritance.
• Primal Ancestor revealed that he had reached the 6,002nd game, surpassed Vinina’s progress, and wondered what Zuo Shanke had done to Earth to produce Luo Feng and Vinina.

Duandong River rejected the seven Universe Strongest after judging their Small Universe structures and potential inadequate for the Duandong River inheritance. He then declared every Divine Eye Clan candidate unqualified and ordered them all to die, prompting Seventh True Lord to shelter his clan in Ice Cliff Fortress and demand an explanation.

• Primal Ancestor reflected on the extraordinary Earth Lineage and wondered what Zuo Shanke was planning.
• Duandong River questioned the seven Universe Strongest about their Small Universe structures and rejected them as candidates for the inheritance.
• Duandong River announced that every Divine Eye Clan candidate was unqualified and must die.
• Seventh True Lord moved the Divine Eye Clan candidates into Ice Cliff Fortress and angrily demanded to know why Duandong River had singled them out.

Duandong River revealed that Lightning Robe Demon God had asked him to destroy the Divine Eye Clan’s inheritance candidates, then crushed Ice Cliff Fortress and gave Lightning Robe its treasures. As the surviving candidates prepared to face the inheritance, Vinina withdrew, leaving Luo Feng determined to claim it.

• Duandong River told the Divine Eye Clan that he was honoring a friend’s request, and Seventh True Lord identified Lightning Robe Demon God as the one behind it.
• Duandong River dragged Ice Cliff Fortress into an abyss, killed the Divine Eye Clan experts inside, and returned Ice Cliff Fortress, True God Realm, and the Illusion Heart Bead to Lightning Robe Demon God.
• Lightning Robe Demon God bound the Illusion Heart Bead and Ice Cliff Fortress, greatly improving his offensive and defensive abilities.
• Duandong River warned the candidates that failed inheritance attempts would annihilate their souls and offered them a final chance to withdraw.
• Vinina announced that she quit, surprising the other candidates, and told Luo Feng not to worry about her.
• Luo Feng accepted Vinina’s decision and resolved to claim the Duandong River inheritance.

Vinina and dozens of other candidates withdrew from the Duandong River inheritance, while 236 remained trapped inside the Tomb Ship with no escape route. Outside, the Divine Eye Clan mourned two lost True Lords, and forces in the Primeval Universe began forming an alliance to suppress the Human Race and pressure Luo Feng over the inheritance.

• Vinina led the candidates who withdrew, and Duandong River opened the corridor so they could leave the inheritance hall.
• The Lightning Robe Demon God and the other withdrawing candidates escaped the Tomb Ship just before its hatch closed, leaving 236 candidates inside.
• The Divine Eye Clan learned that the Second True Lord and Seventh True Lord had perished, and the First True Lord ordered the clan to prioritize transcending reincarnation over revenge.
• Vinina learned that forces in the Primeval Universe were forming an alliance to suppress the Human Race and extract some of the Duandong River inheritance.
• The chapter explained that the Primeval Universe enabled life to grow without the severe limits faced by the First and Second Reincarnation Eras and the Holy Land Universes.

The Crystal Race Holy Lord gathered the Primeval Universe’s major powers and several solitary Universe Strongests to discuss restraining the Human Race’s inevitable rise. He offered only vague promises of rewards from the Holy Lands, leaving the attendees skeptical and baffled by Zuo Shanke’s presence.

• The Primeval Universe factions accepted benefits from outside forces while considering ways to curb the Human Race’s growth.
• The Crystal Race Holy Lord summoned ten Universe Strongests, including Zuo Shanke, and North Prison Lord to a meeting about the Human Race.
• Demon Ancestor Meng challenged Starry Sky Ancestor when he dismissed the threat, but the Crystal Race Holy Lord persuaded Starry Sky Ancestor to hear the offer.
• The Crystal Race Holy Lord warned that Giant Axe Founder, Vinina, and Luo Feng made the Human Race’s rise difficult to stop.
• The gathered powers realized the Crystal Race Holy Lord had no concrete rewards to offer, and wondered why anyone thought Zuo Shanke could be persuaded to deal with the Human Race.

Luo Feng created the third form of his saber technique and became the Duandong River lineage inheritor, causing every other candidate to die. He began receiving the inheritance in the Tomb Ship, then Vinina’s email awakened him after a hundred epochs.

• Luo Feng studied the saber manuals and Law Secret Patterns while the other candidates worked to create Universe Strongest-level secret techniques.
• Luo Feng created the third form of his saber technique, and Duandong River declared him the inheritor and killed all other candidates.
• Luo Feng emailed Giant Axe Founder, Chaos City Lord, and Vinina to report that he had become the inheritor.
• Luo Feng began accepting the vast Duandong River inheritance inside the Tomb Ship, where he planned to study safely for thousands of epochs.
• After a hundred epochs, Vinina’s email awakened Luo Feng, who smiled at the message from his teacher.

Luo Feng returned to the Virtual Universe and tried to explain the path from Lord of the Universe to Universe Strongest to Vinina, only for her to overwhelm him with her own detailed lecture. After taking the Origin Embryo war blade and leaving the Tomb Ship, Luo Feng headed toward the Flame Ice Domain as rival forces rushed to capture him and seize the Duandong River lineage's Inheritance.

• Luo Feng contacted Vinina in the Virtual Universe and confidently explained the two broad paths from Lord of the Universe to Universe Strongest: starting from divine power or from Laws.
• Vinina spent several years explaining the paths and their difficulties in detail, leaving Luo Feng stunned by how much she knew.
• Luo Feng decided to return to the Primeval Universe and went to the Tomb Ship's treasure space to obtain the Origin Embryo war blade and take control of the ship.
• Luo Feng made the Tomb Ship disappear in the Flame Ice Domain, entered the Star Tower, and flew away carrying the war blade.
• North True Star Lord ordered the East Emperor Holy Land experts to watch for Luo Feng and intercept him, while the Purple Moon Holy Land and First Reincarnation Era forces also mobilized to seize the Inheritance.
