Chapter Summaries

Lin Qingyu passed the Wu Kingdom’s trials and learned that its God King’s legacy required him to oppose the Food Country, which had destroyed both the Wu and Jin Kingdoms. The Future Hall simulated Lin Qingyu’s Void Dao Future Self at the pinnacle of what it could produce, and Wu Ren granted him the Wu Kingdom’s entire legacy.

• Lin Qingyu solved the Rhino Emperor Formations and defeated the Ru Feng puppet with one strike, passing the first two trials.
• Wu Ren explained the oaths and the final trial, revealing that the Food Country had destroyed the Wu Kingdom to seize its Dao Enlightenment Treasure.
• Lin Qingyu swore the oaths and entered the Future Hall to demonstrate his Void Dao comprehension.
• The Future Hall simulated Lin Qingyu as a pinnacle Void Dao Universe God, and Wu Ren declared that he had passed all the trials and could inherit the Wu Kingdom’s legacies.

Lin Qingyu inherited Wu Kingdom’s texts, treasures, and Future Hall from King Wu, then proposed using them to ambush a Food Country Lord. King Wu refused to approve the plan unless Lin Qingyu first mastered the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique within one hundred million years.

• Lin Qingyu studied Wu Kingdom’s God King and Chaos Master inheritances, gaining a valuable reference for karma and the Void Dao.
• King Wu revealed how Food Country destroyed Wu Kingdom and gave Lin Qingyu the Future Hall core, the Wu King Palace core, and access to the kingdom’s remaining assets and records.
• Lin Qingyu stopped King Wu from destroying his virtual consciousness and explained that he had an opportunity to attack a Food Country Lord using the Wu King Palace as bait.
• King Wu rejected the plan, warning that Lin Qingyu lacked the means to escape a God King afterward, while Lin Qingyu described his Universe Boat, Sky Shuttle Void Spear, and proposed use of Karma Transfer.
• Lin Qingyu claimed he could create the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique with the Future Hall’s help, and King Wu gave him one hundred million years to master it before reviewing the plan.

Lin Qingyu used the Future Hall to study the Void Dao and try to develop the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique, creating the related secret method Shadowless but not yet mastering the technique. Meanwhile, Purple Wood God King decided to act against the expanding God King Alliance after investigating its Cosmic Sea explorations.

• Lin Qingyu entered the Future Hall and studied a simulated Universe God Future Self, whose Void Dao comprehension proved too limited to demonstrate the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique.
• After fighting and studying the Future Self, Lin Qingyu spent a thousand years sorting through its insights and improved his Void Dao comprehension.
• Lin Qingyu entered all his Void Dao insights and secret methods into another simulation, producing a more realistic Future Self with stronger Void Dao comprehension.
• The new Future Self still lacked the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique, but Lin Qingyu's Secret Pattern Diagram inspired it to create Shadowless, a method for silently passing through barriers and sealed voids.
• At Tianmu City, Purple Wood God King told Jieyu and God King Kongying that their intelligence gathering was complete and they were ready to act against the God King Alliance.

Purple Wood God King organized a campaign to delay the God King Alliance’s Cosmic Sea Formation by seizing the regions and processing facilities that supplied its essential materials. Tianmu Country and Kong Ying captured their targets and cut off nearly half the alliance’s key materials, leaving the alliance’s construction efforts disrupted.

• Purple Wood God King assigned Kong Ying to seize the Star Gold Long River and Jieyu to attack Food Country’s Land of Slaying Wu and advance into Jin Kingdom’s former territory.
• Purple Wood God King secured agreements with several God Kings to cut off additional Formation materials and set the operation for ten epochs later.
• Purple Wood God King and Jieyu led Tianmu Country’s forces against Food Country’s defenses, quickly taking the Land of Slaying Wu and the region containing Jin Kingdom’s former Automatic Treasure Refining Devices.
• Kong Ying assassinated key figures and sent Hidden Thorn assassins to sow chaos before occupying the Star Gold Long River and declaring an alliance with Tianmu Country.
• Purple Wood God King, Kong Ying, and five other God Kings cut off nearly half of the God King Alliance’s key Formation materials after Purple Wood God King ignored the alliance’s request for negotiations.

The God King Alliance debated how to respond after Purple Wood God King and his allies halted the supply of materials for their Cosmic Sea Great Array. Purple Wood prepared harsh negotiation terms, and Liu Tian was stunned when he saw them.

• Cangxu and Tian Can denounced Purple Wood's actions, while Qihai mocked Tian Can and Tao Jun calmed the dispute.
• Thousand Arrays persuaded the alliance to negotiate with Purple Wood, arguing that the alliance should offer benefits rather than risk a fight.
• Purple Wood urged his allies not to negotiate separately and presented them with intentionally extreme terms for the alliance.
• One hundred thousand years later, Liu Tian arrived at Tianmu City to negotiate with Purple Wood.
• Purple Wood sent Liu Tian the list of demands, and Liu Tian was shocked that Purple Wood wanted to take the entire alliance Formation.

Liu Tian returned to the God King Alliance with Purple Wood God King's demands, prompting the alliance to stall negotiations while exploring new sources of resources and seeking alternatives to the formation's materials. Elsewhere, two surviving powers from an earlier era confronted each other over an Ultimate Realm expert's plan to control the Source World and advance to Hunyuan by taking the Rhino Emperor's place.

• Purple Wood God King demanded treasures, World Beast materials, and the complete formation diagram, and Liu Tian left without agreeing to his terms.
• God King Qianzhen, Tao Jun, Liu Tian, and Xuan Cang agreed to continue negotiations, explore the Cosmic Sea, and investigate substitutes for the formation's key materials.
• Liu Tian resumed negotiations, Tao Jun and Xuan Cang led an expedition into the Cosmic Sea, and Qianzhen entered seclusion to study the formation.
• An Ultimate Realm expert argued that controlling the Source World would let him reach Hunyuan and revive the Rhino Emperor and the beings of the current era.
• An aged opponent condemned the expert for seeking to kill the Rhino Emperor, whose survival across eras had left a legacy that constrained others' paths to controlling the Source World.

Lin Qingyu mastered the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique but discovered that it could not reveal the Primal Chaos Dimension. After Luo Qingshuang confirmed the same anomaly, they suspected that something had happened beyond their Source World.

• A traitor who had reached the Ultimate Realm taunted the Yuhui Organization’s leader and claimed the God King Alliance was under his control.
• Lin Qingyu completed the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique and used it to travel from the Future Hall to the Wu King Palace.
• Lin Qingyu found that the technique could connect distant locations but revealed only nothingness when he tried to perceive the Primal Chaos Dimension.
• King Wu explained that the Cosmic Sea suppressed cultivators from the Origin Continent, while Lin Qingyu’s slight obstruction might be tied to the Formation delaying the Source World’s destruction.
• Luo Qingshuang tested the technique despite the Supreme Rule’s punishment and confirmed that she could not perceive the Primal Chaos Dimension outside their Source World.

Lin Qingyu and King Wu agreed to turn Wu King Palace into a trap that would lure Food Country’s God Kings into the Cosmic Sea, where its environment could kill them. Lin Qingyu began transforming the palace and fused an Imitation Future Hall into it as part of the trap.

• Lin Qingyu explained that the God King Alliance’s search for resources could lead Food Country’s Country Lords to explore the Cosmic Sea, and King Wu agreed to help lure them to Wu King Palace.
• Lin Qingyu and King Wu agreed that Lin Qingyu would flee if Tao Jun came, while hoping to trap either Tian Can or Shi Ling instead.
• Lin Qingyu used Wu King Palace’s stored materials to complete a first round of modifications that improved its combat functions.
• Lin Qingyu weakened the palace’s stability during a second round of modifications, increasing its energy reserves and leaving its central core empty.
• Lin Qingyu refined an Imitation Future Hall and began the third round by inscribing Path of Life Secret Patterns and fusing the imitation into Wu King Palace.

Lin Qingyu completed his modifications to Wu King Palace and prepared it as a concealed trap for the God King Alliance and the Food Country Lord, while arranging to record the coming Universe God battle. At the Alliance meeting, Tao Jun proposed a way to obtain resources from one of the regions Purple Wood God King had seized without holding it permanently.

• Lin Qingyu completed the third round of modifications, turning Wu King Palace into a deadly trap and using karma patterns to disguise his involvement as King Wu’s arrangement.
• Lin Qingyu hid durable, self-destructing Avatars inside Wu King Palace to record the coming battle, upgraded the Universe Boat’s concealment, and left the palace before King Wu began releasing its fluctuations.
• At the God King Alliance meeting, Liu Tian God King reported that Purple Wood God King’s latest negotiation terms remained excessive, while Xuan Cang said Thousand Arrays had made little progress modifying the exploration Formation.
• Tao Jun proposed attacking one of Purple Wood God King’s occupied regions, but Liu Tian and Xuan Cang warned that the Alliance might not be able to hold the territory.
• Tao Jun said the Alliance could seize one occupied region temporarily and still obtain most of its resources.

Tao Jun persuaded the God King Alliance to launch a surprise attack on the Land of Slaying Wu, aiming to reclaim its resources and challenge Purple Wood God King's confidence. The alliance's forces reached the site and began assaulting its defenses, where World Beast Warriors sacrificed themselves to keep the fortress Formation intact.

• Tao Jun explained that he could relocate the Land of Slaying Wu and argued that reclaiming it would help the alliance secure resources and strengthen its negotiations with Purple Wood God King.
• Xuan Cang, Liu Tian, and Alliance Leader Qianzhen approved Tao Jun's plan, while Qianzhen urged the attackers to end the battle quickly and retreat if necessary.
• Tao Jun and the other leaders secretly assembled more than fifteen God Kings, including three Second Tier Universe Gods, and set out for the Land of Slaying Wu without Mechanical Stream Treasures.
• The God King Alliance sealed the space around the Land of Slaying Wu and Tao Jun attacked Tianmu Country's fortresses with a powerful devouring Secret Method.
• The World Beast Warriors recognized Tao Jun and burned their lives and power to reinforce the fortress Formation, preserving a small stable area against his attack.

Purple Wood God King and World Beast King Jieyu arrived at Tianmu Country's fortress and faced Tao Jun and the God King Alliance in battle. The Alliance learned that the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique had allowed them to bypass its spatial seal.

• Tao Jun's attack on Tianmu Country's fortress was blocked by Purple Wood God King's towering tree phantom.
• Purple Wood God King confronted Tao Jun, God King Xuan Cang, and the God King Alliance, then summoned countless Secret Pattern leaves to fight them.
• Tao Jun formed the World Devouring Giant Spirit and clashed with Purple Wood God King's seven-colored flower as Liu Tian God King and God King Xuan Cang attacked from different directions.
• World Beast King Jieyu appeared beside Purple Wood God King and blocked Liu Tian God King's strike.
• God King Xuan Cang deduced that Purple Wood God King and Jieyu had entered the sealed region using the Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique, which Purple Wood God King confirmed.

Purple Wood God King unleashed his Broken Branch Spear’s decay power against the God King Alliance, forcing Tao Jun and the others to abandon their attempt to reclaim the Land of Slaying Wu. As the alliance retreated, God King Xuan Cang stayed behind to block Purple Wood God King and buy time for Liu Tian and the others to escape.

• Tao Jun urged the God King Alliance to attack again while God King Xuan Cang engaged the World Beast King Jieyu and the alliance’s God Kings surrounded Purple Wood God King.
• Tian Can and Shi Ling merged with Tao Jun’s World Devouring Giant Spirit, strengthening it and giving it new soul-attack and energy-absorption abilities.
• Purple Wood God King summoned his Broken Branch Spear and used a trump card that imposed decay and dwindling lifespans on the God Kings and their attacks.
• Tao Jun consumed the World Devouring Giant Spirits’ energy to offset the decay, then self-destructed most of his body to drive Purple Wood God King back and order the alliance to retreat together.
• Purple Wood God King pursued the fleeing alliance, but God King Xuan Cang blocked his spear and decay attack while telling Liu Tian God King to lead the others away.

Purple Wood God King pursued the God King Alliance after disrupting their escape, then attacked them in a remote region while trying to capture God King Xuan Cang. As the alliance members fled and Purple Wood focused on Xuan Cang, Thousand Arrays appeared and unleashed formations that weakened Purple Wood and aided the others.

• Liu Tian God King boosted the alliance members’ speed, but Purple Wood God King used a Void Dao leaf to disrupt their spatial escape and send them far from headquarters.
• Purple Wood God King and Jieyu caught up with the alliance in a remote region, where Purple Wood’s Decay Intent and Jieyu’s Power of Destruction attacked them.
• Purple Wood targeted God King Xuan Cang, while the other God Kings hesitated to fight at full strength and considered escaping.
• God King Xuan Cang told the alliance members to flee while he held Purple Wood back, and Tao Jun escaped with the other Food Country Lords before Liu Tian God King helped the remaining God Kings withdraw.
• Thousand Arrays filled the battlefield with formations that healed and strengthened the alliance members, protected Xuan Cang, and suppressed Purple Wood God King.

Purple Wood God King forced the God King Alliance to retreat and struck its Cosmic Sea Great Array, damaging it but failing to destroy it. God King Qianzhen then organized the alliance around exploring the Cosmic Sea, leaving the alliance more tightly united.

• God King Qianzhen used a projection and his Formations to rescue the alliance members and keep Purple Wood God King from capturing God King Xuan Cang.
• Purple Wood God King gathered his Power of Decay into the Withered Branch Spear and annihilated Qianzhen's projection before striking the Cosmic Sea Great Array.
• The Great Array endured the attack, though parts of it were damaged, and Qianzhen told the alliance that it should focus on exploring the Cosmic Sea instead of seeking resources on the Origin Continent.
• God King Qianzhen proposed rotating teams between guarding the Formation and exploring the Cosmic Sea, and God King Xuan Cang, Liu Tian God King, and Tao Jun agreed.
• God King Qianzhen assigned exploration teams, created Contribution Points, and established rules that brought the God King Alliance closer together.

Lin Qingyu learned that Purple Wood God King had repelled the God King Alliance and prepared Wu King Palace’s traps as the alliance began exploring the Cosmic Sea. Meanwhile, Tao Jun sent Shi Ling and Tian Can to search for Wu Kingdom’s lost treasures, hoping to strengthen the alliance’s formation and his own standing.

• Eastern Emperor told Lin Qingyu that Purple Wood God King had suppressed the God King Alliance’s attempt to reclaim its territory, while rumors claimed the alliance leader’s Avatar could match him.
• Lin Qingyu advised Eastern Emperor to prepare for the enemy’s greatest possible strength and rewarded him with a Secret Method.
• Lin Qingyu told King Wu that the alliance would likely focus on Cosmic Sea exploration and began refining the traps inside Wu King Palace.
• The God King Alliance sent four God Kings into the Cosmic Sea, including the Food Country Country Lords Shi Ling and Tian Can.
• Tao Jun reflected that Shi Ling and Tian Can could search for Wu Kingdom’s lost treasures, including Wu King Palace, whose resources might improve the alliance’s formation and raise his influence.

Tian Can and Shi Ling led Food Country’s exploration of the Cosmic Sea, using the God King Alliance’s Formation to guide scouting teams and gather resources while searching for the Wu Kingdom remnants. After thousands of rotations, their haul had grown substantial, and they received a new report just as they prepared to switch pilots.

• Shi Ling piloted Food Country’s Mechanical Stream Treasure into the Cosmic Sea, where the Alliance’s Formation weakened the Chaos tides and carried its protective phantoms along with the vessel.
• Tian Can ordered ten small vessels to scout from their first exploration point; they returned with maps and reports, including a modest Subcurrent Void Flame Crystal vein but no trace of the Wu Kingdom remnants.
• Shi Ling led repeated explorations deeper into the Cosmic Sea, finding numerous resources, including more than ten mineral veins and sites that could nurture Chaos Master-level treasures.
• Tian Can took over piloting after one hundred exploration rounds, and he and Shi Ling continued switching control while their teams collected treasures and mapped resources.
• After several thousand pilot exchanges, Tian Can and Shi Ling had amassed many Chaos-level treasures, mineral vein maps, and several God King-level materials; a scouting team sent back a report as they prepared for another rotation.

Lin Qingyu and King Wu prepared Wu King Palace as a fortified refuge after detecting Food Country’s search teams approaching. After several weaker teams failed to penetrate its Energy Storm, Food Country sent two Chaos Masters, whom King Wu recognized as his enemies.

• Tian Can and Shi Ling learned that an exploration team had found a powerful Chaos Qi Flow storm along the Wu Country remnants’ route and moved closer to investigate.
• Lin Qingyu told King Wu that Food Country might discover Wu King Palace, and they prepared to defend it or escape using Lin Qingyu’s Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique.
• An Eternal True God team failed to cross Wu King Palace’s Energy Storm and withdrew, prompting Lin Qingyu and King Wu to anticipate stronger explorers.
• Tian Can and Shi Ling sent more non-Food Country teams to test the storm, but every team failed and one Mechanical Stream Treasure was damaged.
• Tian Can and Shi Ling dispatched one Chaos Master each with several Eternal True Gods to force their way into the storm.
• King Wu recognized the two Chaos Masters as Food Country cultivators and welcomed the chance to seek revenge.

Lin Qingyu and King Wu prepared an ambush as two Food Country cultivators entered the Energy Storm and confirmed Wu King Palace was real. King Wu attacked them, but Xie Yuan used a trump card from Food Country's Country Lord to block Wu King Palace's next strike.

• Lin Qingyu and King Wu waited for the Food Country explorers to reach Wu King Palace before attacking.
• Xue Ya worried that Food Country Lord had sent them to die, but Xie Yuan reassured him and explained they had a trump card for escaping.
• Xue Ya and Xie Yuan piloted their warship through the Energy Storm and confirmed that Wu King Palace stood within the Cosmic Sea.
• Lin Qingyu told King Wu to act, and King Wu unleashed golden attacks and intensified the Energy Storm against the warship.
• Xie Yuan ordered his crew to activate Plan Three, and their warship's vortex absorbed the Energy Storm while its hull sustained damage from King Wu's attacks.
• Xie Yuan and the crew combined their power to summon a phantom that blocked Wu King Palace's incoming Gold attribute meteors.

King Wu’s projection fought Shi Ling’s Avatar outside the Wu King Palace while Shi Ling and Tian Can prepared a formation to seal the palace. Lin Qingyu and King Wu secretly planned to lure both Country Lords inside, and Shi Ling’s exploding Avatar corroded much of King Wu’s energy river as the formation neared completion.

• King Wu’s projection unleashed a Gold-and-Void secret method against Shi Ling’s Avatar, while Shi Ling sent a warship carrying Xue Ya and Xie Yuan out through the weakened storm.
• Shi Ling countered with vortices and Corrosive Spirit Mist, clashing with King Wu’s energy river as he studied the palace’s defenses.
• Lin Qingyu told King Wu that Shi Ling and Tian Can were setting up a sealing formation and confirmed that their Boundary Breaking Teleportation Technique would still work.
• Shi Ling and Tian Can used a formation plate prepared by Tian Zhen to seal the space around the Wu King Palace, intending to enter and suppress it once the formation was complete.
• As King Wu’s projection nearly destroyed Shi Ling’s Avatar, Shi Ling detonated it, and its smoke corroded nearly half of the energy river.

Lin Qingyu and King Wu prepared the modified Wu King Palace to trap Shi Ling and Tian Can, then lured the two Food Country lords inside a sealing formation. King Wu detonated parts of the palace, but Shi Ling and Tian Can survived the blasts and pressed toward it as mysterious fluctuations appeared in the aftermath.

• Lin Qingyu studied a sample of Shi Ling's mist while King Wu suppressed the mist left by Shi Ling's exploded Avatar.
• Tian Can and Shi Ling completed a formation around the Wu King Palace, entered it, and believed no one had inherited the palace.
• Lin Qingyu activated the Hun Tian Crystal to shield himself from causal detection and told King Wu to wait until their enemies lowered their guard.
• Shi Ling used his true-form mist to disrupt the palace while Tian Can deployed the Net of Emptying to contain it.
• King Wu detonated portions of the modified Wu King Palace, blasting Shi Ling and Tian Can backward and filling the void with energy and chaotic Secret Patterns.
• Shi Ling and Tian Can survived, charged toward the palace again, and failed to notice faint special fluctuations and Secret Patterns in the explosions' aftermath.
