Chapter Summaries

Lin Qingyu visited Luo Qingshuang’s laboratory in the Purgatory Abyss and learned how the Abyssal Mother River nurtured demons and created a rare node where time flowed one hundred times faster. Luo Qingshuang showed him her vast research facility and offered to let him use it.

• Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang discussed Latilith’s enhanced Gene Level and comprehension, the risks of Luo Qingshuang’s Rebirth Secret Technique, and Lin Qingyu’s unsuccessful attempt to analyze it.
• Luo Qingshuang led Lin Qingyu beneath Latilith’s palace to a blood-colored lake, explaining that it was a permanent node of the Abyssal Mother River that had formed after her slaughter of demons.
• Luo Qingshuang explained that the node’s time flowed one hundred times faster, though it could sustain only up to Initial King Level power before collapsing.
• Luo Qingshuang led Lin Qingyu through the Barrier and explained that the Mother River’s abundant life force benefited living creatures and potion ingredients.
• Luo Qingshuang showed Lin Qingyu her laboratory on a floating continent, explained that her research on the Mother River had helped her invent potions, and offered to let him use the facility.

After obtaining his innate secret technique, Lin Qingyu began a new research project in Luo Qingshuang’s laboratory: developing a potion that could raise Gene Level. He and Luo Qingshuang prepared to test his idea, with Lin Qingyu confident that their secret techniques and his recorded data could produce results using inexpensive materials.

• Lin Qingyu decided to study his accumulated Information Models and find a way to raise his Gene Level, repay his two-trillion-Hunyuan-unit loan, and strengthen his body to withstand further soul growth.
• Luo Qingshuang asked Lin Qingyu to create a Clone, but he declined because he wanted to craft one himself after improving his treasure-refining ability.
• Luo Qingshuang registered Lin Qingyu to use her laboratory and introduced its Intelligent Life, Little Xue.
• Lin Qingyu proposed researching a potion that could raise Gene Level, and Luo Qingshuang agreed to help because the project also suited her goal of improving her talent and comprehension.
• Lin Qingyu gave Luo Qingshuang a low-cost materials list and said he was confident that their Secret Methods could help produce a Gene-Level-raising treasure in the preliminary experiment.

Lin Qingyu analyzed why his experimental Gene Level potion had exploded and realized he needed stronger comprehension of wind, light, and lightning laws to control its ingredients. After Luo Qingshuang suggested specialized potion techniques and instruments, Lin Qingyu found several options in the Virtual Universe and considered asking her for funds.

• Lin Qingyu's attempt to fuse nine medicinal liquids failed, and he and Luo Qingshuang survived the explosion behind a protective device.
• Lin Qingyu spent seven days analyzing the potion data in his Will Space and traced the failure to conflicts among wind, light, and lightning materials.
• Lin Qingyu began studying wind, light, and lightning laws, while Luo Qingshuang privately reflected on her ambition to transform her talent rather than accept the Virtual Universe Company's help to become Undying.
• Lin Qingyu explained his findings to Luo Qingshuang, who recommended special potion methods and instruments for controlling laws during configuration.
• Lin Qingyu searched the Virtual Universe and found seven techniques and four instruments, then considered asking Luo Qingshuang for money to buy the instruments.

Lin Qingyu improved his Gene Level-raising potion formula, studied the Fusion Law patterns in Luo Qingshuang’s instruments, and began a new experiment. After a day and night of fusing the ingredients with the instruments’ help, he produced a single gray, transparent potion.

• Luo Qingshuang ordered two instruments to help Lin Qingyu fuse energies of different attributes, while he stayed in the laboratory to refine his formula.
• After Luo Qingshuang collected the instruments, Lin Qingyu studied the instruments’ Fusion Law patterns and learned to identify different Fusion Laws.
• Lin Qingyu perfected his formula over three months, then began configuring the potion with Luo Qingshuang’s four instruments.
• Lin Qingyu processed and fused the materials, using his Origin Laws and the instruments to manage energy conflicts.
• After a day and night, Lin Qingyu fused the nine medicinal liquids into one gray, transparent potion.

Lin Qingyu created a potion that enhanced Gene Level for weaker users, but his own test could not reveal that effect because his Gene Level was already too high. Luo Qingshuang enhanced the potion with her Newborn Secret Technique, and they prepared to test it on Latilith.

• Lin Qingyu tested his potion in Will Space and found it temporarily increased his physical strength, but he judged the result a failure because it did not raise his Gene Level and was too costly to be useful.
• Luo Qingshuang reported that Virtual Universe calculations showed the potion could increase Gene Level for users below Undying or temporarily triple an Undying's strength.
• Lin Qingyu realized his 700-fold Gene Level had prevented him from experiencing the potion's Gene Level-enhancing effect, while Luo Qingshuang noted that World Lords could afford it.
• Luo Qingshuang used her Newborn Secret Technique to enhance the potion, and Lin Qingyu recorded its transformation in Will Space.
• Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang decided to have Latilith test the enhanced potion, despite her already-high Gene Level.

Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang tested a potion that could raise Latilith’s Gene Level, then found that Lin Qingyu gained only a temporary boost from it. The chapter ended with Lin Qingyu proposing to combine his Life Secret Technique with Luo Qingshuang’s Newborn Secret Technique and beginning to formulate a new potion.

• Luo Qingshuang gave Latilith Lin Qingyu’s enhanced potion, and laboratory tests confirmed that it raised Latilith’s Gene Level despite her being an Undying deity.
• Lin Qingyu made three more potions, and Luo Qingshuang enhanced two of them with her Newborn Secret Technique.
• Luo Qingshuang drank an unenhanced potion and then an enhanced one, raising her Gene Level from tenfold to twelvefold.
• Lin Qingyu drank an enhanced potion but discovered that it gave him a temporary power source rather than increasing his Gene Level.
• Luo Qingshuang suggested enhancing a new potion again, and Lin Qingyu proposed applying both their Secret Techniques before beginning to formulate it.

Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang used their Secret Techniques to transform a potion into a powerful Potion Lifeform, which Lin Qingyu studied and found could potentially raise Gene Level. The hostile creature was killed by Latilith, leaving a gray crystal-like mass for Lin Qingyu to use as a potion.

• Luo Qingshuang enhanced the potion with her Rebirth Secret Technique, and Lin Qingyu used his Life Secret Technique to surround it.
• Lin Qingyu directed Little Xue to feed ten million chaos units' worth of Cosmic Crystals into the Secret Technique until the potion gained life.
• The newly born Potion Lifeform attacked Lin Qingyu, but Latilith restrained it with her Law Domain.
• Lin Qingyu studied the creature's Information Model and discovered that it had no soul, could mobilize only three times World Lord Power, and contained energy that might raise Gene Level.
• Lin Qingyu identified the creature's Life Core, and Latilith killed it at Luo Qingshuang's direction; its body hardened into a gray crystal-like mass.

Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang completed a potion strengthened by both of their Secret Methods, and Lin Qingyu used its crystals to raise his Gene Level to 702 times. Hongyue King agreed to report their achievement and seek Gene Level-raising treasures for him, while Lin Qingyu remained in the Purgatory Abyss to cultivate and learn treasure refining.

• Lin Qingyu swallowed a crystal left by a potion creature and found that it slowly nourished his body, while he and Luo Qingshuang discussed his research and the need for more special treasures.
• Lin Qingyu decided to stay in the Purgatory Abyss, where time flowed faster, and asked Luo Qingshuang to teach him treasure refining.
• Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang made more batches of their potion; over six months, Lin Qingyu used potion creatures' crystals to raise his Gene Level from 700 times to 702 times.
• Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang presented their potion research to Hongyue King, who was astonished that their combined Secret Methods could strengthen potions to affect Initial King-level Immortals.
• Lin Qingyu explained that his Secret Method could create Clones, but he planned to improve his crafting skills before making one.
• Hongyue King agreed to seek Gene Level-raising treasures for Lin Qingyu and told him to watch for a rise in his Virtual Universe permissions.

Hongyue King reported Lin Qingyu’s Gene Level potion to the Nine Refinements Hall Master and applied for Lin Qingyu to join the Hong Alliance. The Hall Master promised him access to three treasures from the No. 0 Treasury, and the Hong Alliance unanimously approved his admission, arranging for a Special Envoy team to invite him.

• Luo Qingshuang and Hongyue King explained that Lin Qingyu’s potion met the Hong Alliance’s requirements for a pharmacist, though his application still needed review.
• Hongyue King informed the Nine Refinements Hall Master about Lin Qingyu’s achievement, and the Hall Master offered Lin Qingyu three treasures from the No. 0 Treasury after adding Gene Level resources to it.
• Hongyue King submitted Lin Qingyu’s potion test results and application to the Hong Alliance for evaluation.
• Hong Alliance members debated whether Lin Qingyu’s Universe Level strength qualified him to join, then learned his potion could affect King-level Immortals.
• The Hong Alliance Venerables unanimously approved Lin Qingyu’s admission, and Zi Mi arranged for a Special Envoy team to invite him.

Lin Qingyu created a living spear Avatar with his Life Secret Technique, gaining a peak World Lord’s worth of perfectly controlled power. He then joined the Hong Alliance and discovered that the Nine Refinements Hall was connected to his lineage.

• Lin Qingyu used Cosmic Crystals and his Life Secret Technique to turn a fifth-tier spear he had refined into an Avatar that could store energy and add a peak World Lord’s worth of power.
• Luo Qingshuang praised the Avatar, and Lin Qingyu planned to study how his Life Secret Technique transformed objects.
• Lin Qingyu learned that the Hong Alliance’s Special Envoys had arrived and met nine King-level Immortals in his Virtual Universe manor.
• Lin Qingyu accepted the invitation to join the Hong Alliance, and a phantom welcomed him as an official member.
• After hosting the envoys, Lin Qingyu browsed Alliance information and recognized the Nine Refinements Hall as a shop belonging to his lineage.

Lin Qingyu entered the Hong Alliance and met Hongyue King at Nine Refinements Hall, where he registered as a potion maker and learned of rewards for his Ascension potions. He received news that the Human Race would give him a Source of Feather Transformation and that the Nine Refinements Hall Master had authorized him to choose three treasures from the No. 0 Treasury; he began inspecting its collection.

• Lin Qingyu learned from Luo Qingshuang that the Nine Refinements lineage’s Nine Refinements Hall handled custom commissions and offered its members work and resources.
• After Hongyue King summoned him, Lin Qingyu entered the Hong Alliance and joined Luo Qingshuang and Hongyue King at Nine Refinements Hall.
• Hongyue King told Lin Qingyu to register with Nine Refinements Hall, and he completed the authorization verification.
• Hongyue King announced that the Human Race would reward Lin Qingyu’s Ascension potions with a portion of the Source of Feather Transformation.
• Hongyue King revealed that the Nine Refinements Hall Master had allowed Lin Qingyu to choose three treasures from the No. 0 Treasury, and Lin Qingyu entered it under Forge’s guidance.
• Lin Qingyu examined the treasury’s simulated treasures, including a Domain-type Heavy Treasure.

Lin Qingyu chose three treasures from the Nine Refinements Hall Master’s treasury after fulfilling a condition by creating a potion that could affect King-level Immortals. He left with the Xibai Realm, Time-and-Space Source Blood Marrow, and a Space-Time Source Crystal, prioritizing power he could use immediately and support for his future plans.

• Lin Qingyu learned that his potion had fulfilled one of the Hall Master’s conditions, earning him three free selections from No. 0 Treasury.
• Lin Qingyu chose the Xibai Realm, a Time-and-Space Domain-type Heavy Treasure that could seal and devour powerful attacks.
• Lin Qingyu selected Source Blood Marrow with Time and Space attributes, which could raise a flesh-and-blood lifeform’s Gene Level.
• Lin Qingyu considered using Gene Level-raising treasures to develop similar potions and eventually reach a base Gene Level of 3,400 times that of an ordinary lifeform.
• Lin Qingyu chose a Space-Time Source Crystal because he believed its energy could quickly strengthen him and help him earn more resources.

Lin Qingyu chose three treasures from the No. 0 Treasury and explained to Luo Qingshuang how he planned to use a Space-Time Source Crystal to create an Avatar. He began preparing to practice treasure forging in her laboratory, while Luo Qingshuang agreed to support his experiments and looked forward to his help on future adventures.

• Hongyue King told Lin Qingyu he could earn further No. 0 Treasury selections by developing a mass-producible potion, passing the World Lord level Original Tongtian Mountain before becoming Undying, or forging a pseudo-Heavy Treasure.
• Lin Qingyu told Luo Qingshuang he had chosen a Domain-type Heavy Treasure, Source Blood Marrow, and a Space-Time Source Crystal, which he planned to use in a future Avatar project.
• The Nine Refinements Hall Master learned Lin Qingyu had selected Xibai Realm, Source Blood Marrow with space-time attributes, and a Space-Time Source Crystal, but decided not to question his reasons.
• Lin Qingyu admitted he still could not analyze Luo Qingshuang’s Newborn Secret Technique and planned to temper his willpower while staying in Purgatory Abyss.
• Luo Qingshuang offered Lin Qingyu materials for practicing treasure forging, and he said he would accompany her on future adventures once he grew stronger.

Lin Qingyu finished crafting components for an experimental Avatar and tested how his Life Secret Technique empowered them. He began assembling the Avatar without bringing its energy core to life, leaving room to adjust the design after testing it.

• Lin Qingyu completed the hand-shaped Mental Power Weapon and explained that his Avatar still needed an energy core.
• With Luo Qingshuang's Cosmic Crystals and Virtual Universe Company blueprints, Lin Qingyu compressed energy and constructed an energy core.
• Lin Qingyu used his Life Secret Technique to give life to the Avatar components, which consumed hundreds of thousands to a million chaos units of Cosmic Crystals each.
• Lin Qingyu tested a component and found it had the strength of three peak World Lords, then explained that his Avatars retained their equipment functions but could not grow stronger.
• Lin Qingyu began assembling the components before turning the energy core into an Avatar so he could identify flaws and modify the core.

Lin Qingyu tested the combat power of his assembled Avatar in a battle against Latilith in Frost World. The Avatar proved strong enough to contend with an Undying, but its Mental Power could not leave its body, and it abruptly shut down mid-fight.

• Lin Qingyu found that his assembled Avatar provided twenty times World Lord power and could use his seventy-five-fold Mental Power Amplitude, producing a peak output of 1,500 times World Lord power.
• Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang left the Abyssal Mother River laboratory and arranged for Latilith to test the Avatar in Frost World, with soul infiltration extermination forbidden.
• Latilith opened her Flame Law Domain, but Lin Qingyu discovered that his Avatar's Mental Power could not leave it, so he charged her with a spear instead.
• Lin Qingyu's attack pierced Frost World's membrane and overpowered Latilith's full-strength strike, while his Avatar resisted her soul attacks without faltering.
• Lin Qingyu's Avatar unleashed attacks of varying strength that forced Latilith to defend, then suddenly stopped moving and fell from the battlefield.

After his prototype Avatar ran out of energy fighting Latilith, Lin Qingyu improved its energy core to store and distribute more power while linking its components into a stronger whole. He finished the new hub and prepared to integrate it into the Avatar.

• Lin Qingyu explained to Luo Qingshuang that his Avatar had fallen because its energy reserves were depleted, and they discussed its slow recovery and difficult controls.
• Lin Qingyu revealed that the Avatar had no soul but stored and recovered his Mental Force, making it immune to soul attacks while still consuming energy when struck.
• Lin Qingyu returned to his laboratory and spent more than ten years redesigning the energy core, seeking to improve energy supply and combine the Secret Methods on the Avatar's components.
• Lin Qingyu determined that his new energy hub's Secret Patterns would link with those on the Avatar components to form a complete, stronger Secret Pattern Diagram.
• Lin Qingyu began incorporating the finished energy hub into his Avatar by sending a complex Secret Pattern Diagram toward it.

Lin Qingyu completed an energy core and integrated it into his Avatar, greatly improving its strength and endurance. After testing its strongest strike, he confirmed it could reach ten thousand times World Lord Power, while he began wondering why Undying beings were so much stronger than World Lords.

• Lin Qingyu used over fifty million mixed yuan units of Cosmic Crystals to complete an energy core with rapid energy recovery and large energy reserves.
• Lin Qingyu assembled the energy core into his Avatar, which gained greater power, endurance, and the ability to combine its components’ Secret Methods.
• Lin Qingyu and Luo Qingshuang tested the completed Avatar’s strongest strike, which reached ten thousand times World Lord Power and shattered the space-time ahead.
• Lin Qingyu concluded that the Avatar could threaten an Early Marquis but could not kill a King-level Immortal without greater power.
• Lin Qingyu considered the enormous power gap between Undying beings and World Lords and questioned whether Law Comprehension alone could explain it.

Lin Qingyu questioned whether Undying divine bodies, Gene Levels, and other features of the Swallowed Star cultivation system were gifts from the Cosmic Origin or signs of a deeper hidden mechanism. Luo Qingshuang’s unusual intuition suggested that his doubts were fragments of a truth, and the chapter ended with Lin Qingyu proposing that Immortal God Bodies might have become normal only after some past event.

• Lin Qingyu reflected on the leaps in divine-body strength, the fixed multiples of Gene Levels, and the extraordinary recovery and combat power of Immortal God Bodies.
• Luo Qingshuang asked what Lin Qingyu was contemplating, and he explained his doubts about whether the Cosmic Origin alone accounted for these features.
• Luo Qingshuang initially laughed at his theory but then became serious and insisted that it was not merely conjecture.
• Luo Qingshuang said her intuition treated both having and lacking an Immortal God Body as normal for Undying beings, despite the contradiction.
• Lin Qingyu suggested that an event might have changed whether Undying beings naturally possessed Immortal God Bodies, and Luo Qingshuang’s intuition reacted as though the idea made sense.

Lin Qingyu arranged to study divine bodies and the formation of Undying Divine Power, then sent his Avatar to Earth to retrieve Plant Life forms while he cultivated in Luo Qingshuang’s laboratory. After a century of study, he gained recognition by the Wood Origin Law.

• Lin Qingyu told Luo Qingshuang he planned to study Divine Power and divine bodies, using Latilith and World Lords nearing their breakthroughs as research subjects.
• Luo Qingshuang helped Lin Qingyu establish a laboratory in Frost World and secure his Avatar passage through Golden Brilliance Space-Time.
• Lin Qingyu’s Avatar left the Purgatory Abyss and traveled toward Earth to retrieve the Plant Life forms, while his true body began cultivating in the laboratory.
• Lin Qingyu studied Cosmic Origin Laws and lower laws without advancing to Domain Lord or seeking to become Undying.
• After a hundred years of cultivation, Lin Qingyu gained recognition by the Wood Origin Law, and an emerald-green mark appeared on his forehead.

After earning acknowledgment from the Wood Origin Law, Lin Qingyu advanced his comprehension of other laws during centuries of accelerated seclusion and prepared to leave the laboratory to study newly delivered Heavy Treasures. He collected the treasures from King Yaojing but left them with Latilith because they could damage Luo Qingshuang’s Abyssal Mother River node.

• Lin Qingyu recorded the Origin Law’s acknowledgment droplet in his Will Space, then resumed studying laws and medicinal formulas without entering the Wood Law domain.
• After nearly three hundred years of seclusion, Lin Qingyu gained acknowledgment from the Light Origin Law and the Origin Law of Gold, while advancing his comprehension of the other laws.
• Lin Qingyu ended his seclusion to prepare medicines and collect the treasures delivered to Golden Brilliance Space-Time, where King Yaojing handed him a world ring and warned him to keep the Heavy Treasures confidential.
• Luo Qingshuang told Lin Qingyu that Heavy Treasures and other powerful items could harm the Abyssal Mother River node, so Lin Qingyu left them with Latilith and planned to study their Information Models instead.
