• At the Return Ruins’ boundary, Lin Yuan left Zhu Long, which disintegrated into Cosmic Dust as he entered the void.
• A Monarch Level monster attacked Lin Yuan, who pierced it with a finger, absorbed its energy, and turned toward the deeper Return Ruins.

Lin Yuan slaughtered the Return Ruins’ monsters and absorbed their energy to rapidly strengthen his Primal Chaos Sword Gangkqi. As the creatures fled from a presence deeper in the ruins, Lin Yuan sensed a distant, godlike gaze and welcomed the greater challenge.

• Lin Yuan absorbed the Monarch Level monster’s energy, then used his Primal Chaos Sword Intent to purify and consume hordes of Void Wraiths.

• Lin Yuan sensed a cold, distant gaze from the deepest darkness and smiled, anticipating the arrival of the main course.

Lin Yuan confronted the Lord of Guisu in the depths of Return Ruins and absorbed its annihilation power instead of being erased. He killed it, reached the peak of the third level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, and discovered a strange metal fragment where it vanished.

• The Lord of Guisu emerged from the darkness and told Lin Yuan that it had devoured a King-Sealing expert before, while Lin Yuan said he expected it to taste good.
• The Lord of Guisu enveloped Lin Yuan in its Annihilation Domain, but Primal Chaos Sword Gangkqi devoured the incoming power and transformed it into energy.

• Lin Yuan spotted a palm-sized, pitch-black metal fragment engraved with starry trajectories where the Lord of Guisu had vanished.

Lin Yuan discovered that the metal fragment held coordinates to the wider universe and returned from Return Ruins at tremendous speed. As Demon Suppression Pass prepared for a World-Ending threat, he announced his return over the command channel.

• Lin Yuan activated the metal fragment and learned that Return Ruins was a hunting ground projected from a blood-red coordinate, with the fragment serving as a beacon for jumps between pastures.

• Mike Jason celebrated Lin Yuan's presumed death and expected to take command of Demon Suppression Pass.
• A World-Ending-level target appeared above the pass, and Lin Yuan's voice came through the public channel: “I'm back.”

• Lin Yuan said he was better than ever, then entered the city and told Qin Pojun the Zhu Long Ship was gone and White Eagle Country should be billed a hundredfold.

• Mike Jason vomited blood and broke down as the officers in White Eagle Country's command center read the bill.
• The Alliance Supreme Command relieved Mike Jason of his post and announced that General Agatha Romanov would replace him in one standard hour.

Mike Jason tried to use Demon Suppression Pass's forbidden weapon, Heaven's Condemnation, to kill Lin Yuan and destroy the region. Lin Yuan quietly neutralized the missile, leaving Mike staring at the failed launch as Agatha Romanov approached.

• After losing his position, Mike Jason blamed Lin Yuan and decided to use his remaining authority to launch Heaven's Condemnation.
• Lin Yuan returned to his residence, examined the star map in the black metal fragment, and resolved to seek stronger opponents after consolidating his cultivation.
• Heaven's Condemnation emerged from subspace and locked onto Lin Yuan, threatening to erase everything within a thousand-li radius.
• Lin Yuan released a wisp of Primal Chaos Sword Gangkqi as the missile reached its detonation point.
• The control console sounded an alarm and Heaven's Condemnation went dark, leaving Mike Jason stunned.

• Lin Yuan confirmed he carried the aura of Return Ruins and revealed that he had subdued and eaten the Lord of Guisu, shocking the court.

At the Alliance Supreme Military Court, Lin Yuan claimed he had eaten the Lord of Guisu, but the court dismissed his words until powerful figures from across the Human Alliance arrived to testify to his feats. The chapter ended with Lin Yuan awakening the Primal Chaos Saint Body, leaving the judges and Agatha terrified.

After Agatha apologized to Lin Yuan, she asked him to find her younger sister Aurora in the Sea of Annihilation, offering him access to classified intelligence and a favor in return.

• Lin Yuan said he had to make the trip, alarming Qin Pojun, who urged him to stay and protect Demon Suppression Pass.
• Agatha explained that Lin Yuan’s Primal Chaos Saint Body might make the Sea of Annihilation less dangerous, easing Qin Pojun’s concern.

Lin Yuan departed for the Sea of Annihilation after the Dragon Kingdom received 202 billion Alliance Currency and granted him military authority equal to the Martial God's. He left aboard Agatha's exploration vessel, hinting that he would bring back more resources, while Qin Pojun realized Lin Yuan meant to collect “local specialties.”

• Lin Yuan told Qin Pojun to prepare to receive new “firewood,” and Qin Pojun realized he intended to bring back local resources.

Lin Yuan entered the Sea of Annihilation and found that its annihilating force strengthened his Primal Chaos Saint Body and Sword Embryo. At Aurora’s wrecked ship, he discovered her recording about a dangerous being from the Pasture, then detected a fresh distress signal that seemed to be bait.

• Lin Yuan viewed Aurora’s recording, in which she described a greedy, evil presence from the forbidden land called the Pasture pursuing her.
• Lin Yuan detected a new distress signal pointing toward the Sea of Annihilation’s depths and realized something was imitating Aurora’s beacon to lure him in.

• Lin Yuan pierced the beast’s Source Core with Sword Gangkqi, preventing it from escaping into the void.
• Lin Yuan pressed his hand against the beast and began devouring its body, annihilation energy, and accumulated Source Power.

• Aurora’s body and soul began to recover as the Lord of the Ranch’s tentacles reached Lin Yuan, who finally looked up and dismissed the attack as noisy.

Lin Yuan annihilated the Lord of the Ranch, absorbed the purified Evil Energy from its collapsing Pasture, and began returning to Demon Suppression Pass with Aurora. Aurora stirred in the Chaser of Light as they neared their destination.

• Lin Yuan froze the Lord of the Ranch’s tentacles and pierced its Source Core with a gray-gold Sword Gangkqi, erasing its will.
• The Pasture collapsed, and Lin Yuan absorbed and purified the Lord of the Ranch’s rampaging Evil Energy, strengthening his power.

• As the shuttle approached Demon Suppression Pass, Aurora made a faint, confused sound.

Aurora woke aboard the Chaser of Light after Lin Yuan revived her with a powerful pill, but mistook his explanation for something more intimate. She discovered her strength had surged to the Spirit Gathering Realm Peak just as Agatha Romanov contacted Lin Yuan and saw Aurora alive.
