Chapter Summaries

Lin Yuan stopped Dark Iron’s unsealing ritual, but the damaged seal released a Ninth Layer Embryo Transformation Realm attack that he barely survived with help from the Alliance’s civilizations. As Lin Yuan began absorbing the severed tentacle’s energy and promised to suppress the seal, Dark Iron called for the Star Devourer Alliance Leader, who was about to descend.

• Dark Iron awakened the Dark Mechanical Behemoth, and Su Li and the Iron Guard held it back while Lin Yuan rushed to destroy the Unsealing Key.
• Lin Yuan pierced the altar’s core before Dark Iron could complete the ritual, but the seal had already suffered more than thirty percent damage and released a Destruction Law tentacle.
• Lin Yuan combined five powers into a sword strike that severed the tentacle, but the backlash blasted him away as more tentacles surged through the crack.
• The Plant Spirit Civilization bound the tentacles, the Crystal Race reinforced the seal, the Nebula Civilization suppressed them, and Gu Qinghe ordered the fleets to fire on the damaged seal.
• Lin Yuan swallowed and began refining the severed tentacle’s energy, promising to suppress the seal if the Alliance held out for ten minutes.
• Dark Iron secretly signaled the Star Devourer Alliance’s highest echelons and warned Lin Yuan that the Alliance Leader was about to descend.

Lin Yuan and the Alliance races raced to repair the Star Core Mother Star seal, but the Star Devourer Alliance Leader arrived and attacked them. Lin Yuan awakened the Hongmeng Guardian inheritance and blocked the blow with the Primal Chaos Shield, while the civilizations united to strengthen it as the Alliance Leader prepared his Transcending Heaven Core Cannon.

• Lin Yuan ordered the Alliance to reinforce the seal as the Plant Spirit Civilization sacrificed its mother star to implant the Eternal Plant Core, the Crystal Race Leader infused the runes with her remaining Source Power, and the Mechanical Civilization deployed its suppression device.
• As the seal's damage neared ten percent, the Sky-Stepping Realm Star Devourer Alliance Leader appeared and unleashed a devastating wave of law power against the fleet and the seal.

• The Plant Spirit, Crystal, Nebula, Mechanical, and Angel Civilizations, along with Aila, poured their power into Lin Yuan's shield.
• The Star Devourer Alliance Leader dismissed the united defense and began forming the Transcending Heaven Core Cannon.

Lin Yuan and the Alliance sacrificed their power to stop the Star Devourer Alliance Leader’s cannon from destroying them. The three civilizations gave Lin Yuan their remaining origins, letting him temporarily reach the Heaven-Stepping Realm and confront the leader as he moved to break the seal.

• Lin Yuan and the Alliance poured their origins, lives, and wills into the Primal Chaos Shield to withstand the Transcending Heaven Star Core Cannon.
• The Plant Spirit, Crystal Race, and Nebula Civilizations made further sacrifices to stabilize the shield and divert part of the beam, allowing the Alliance to survive.

• The Crystal Race Leader, Plant Spirit Civilization’s homeworld, and Nebula Civilization gave Lin Yuan their remaining origins, raising him to the First Layer of the Temporary Heaven-Stepping Realm.
• Lin Yuan struck the Star Devourer Alliance Leader with his Hongmeng Dimensional Sword Intent, and their Heaven-Stepping Realm battle began.

Lin Yuan used his Primal Chaos Origin to neutralize the Star Devourer Alliance Leader’s Heaven-Stepping Domain and killed him with a strike through his Star Core Origin. The Leader’s death shattered the seal, freeing the Star Core Beast, which immediately began destroying the Alliance Fleet.

• The Alliance Leader’s disintegrating body unleashed a Dark Purple energy storm that drove the seal’s damage to fifty percent and broke it open.
• The Star Core Beast escaped and lashed out with its tentacles, destroying thousands of Alliance warships.

Lin Yuan used the six civilizations’ combined power to kill the Star Core Beast, then absorbed its origin and broke through to the Sky Stepping Realm. The Ancient Alliance’s Core Token revealed that the final piece of the ancient secrets lay in the Universe Origin Place.

• The three civilizations sacrificed their remaining strength to restrain and poison the Star Core Beast, giving Lin Yuan an opening to prepare his strike.
• The Star Core Beast burned its origin, broke free, and blasted Lin Yuan before he could attack.

After the Star Devourer Alliance fell, Lin Yuan learned that a higher-dimensional threat remained and set out with Gu Qinghe, Su Li, and Iron Guard to find the Universe Origin Place. Their journey ended at a mysterious fleet blocking the way and demanding proof that Lin Yuan was the Hongmeng Guardian’s true heir.

• Gu Qinghe organized the battlefield cleanup, recovery of Star Core Technology, casualty support, and resource exploration of the Star Core Mother Star.
• The Ancient Alliance Leader revealed that the Universe Origin Place held the secrets of the Primal Chaos Origin and the means to resist a higher cosmic threat, then vanished.
• Lin Yuan announced his plan to seek the Universe Origin Place, and Gu Qinghe, Su Li, and Iron Guard joined his expedition.
• Lin Yuan and his companions departed aboard the upgraded Hongmeng Space while the remaining Alliance civilizations stayed behind to rebuild the Star Sea.
• A mysterious fleet blocked the Hongmeng Space near the Universe Origin Place, and its aged leader demanded that Lin Yuan prove he was the Hongmeng Guardian’s true heir.

Lin Yuan faced the Star Herding Civilization’s threefold trial to prove he was the successor of the Hongmeng Guardian. After he passed, the civilization pledged to follow him, and its leader prepared to tell him more about the Universe Origin Place.

• The Star Herding Civilization’s leader summoned three altars and told Lin Yuan that passing their trials would open the road to the Origin Land.
• Lin Yuan passed the Hongmeng Energy Resonance Trial when the altar responded to the purity of his origin.
• Lin Yuan and Su Li combined their Sword Intents to defeat the energy puppet in the Dimensional Sword Intent Trial.
• Lin Yuan resisted an illusion showing the destruction of Earth and the deaths of his companions, passing the Guardian’s Heart Trial.
• The Star Herding Civilization’s leader knelt and pledged to follow Lin Yuan, who asked what else he knew about the Universe Origin Place.

The old leader revealed that the Extraterrestrial Race threatened to devour the universe and that Lin Yuan had to activate the ancient defense formation before they arrived. Lin Yuan reached the Universe Origin Place, where he faced Shadow, but Shadow’s attack began cracking Lin Yuan’s defensive shield.

• The old leader told Lin Yuan that the Extraterrestrial Race was approaching and that seven Sky Stepping Realm civilization origins were needed to activate the ancient defensive formation, with Lin Yuan as its core.
• The old leader warned Lin Yuan that Shadow, Dark Iron’s younger brother, had reached the Universe Origin Place and intended to seize the formation and cooperate with the Extraterrestrial Race.
• Lin Yuan and Iron Guard traveled with the Star Herding Civilization’s fleet to the Universe Origin Place, where they found Shadow and several hundred Dark Mechanical Warships surrounding the Origin Barrier.
• Shadow transformed into the Dark Mechanical Ultimate Armor and attacked Lin Yuan, while Gu Qinghe, Su Li, and Iron Guard fought the Dark Mechanical fleet.
• Lin Yuan blocked Shadow’s Dark Mechanical Annihilation Cannon with his Hongmeng Dimensional Sword Shield, but the shield cracked as Lin Yuan coughed up blood.

Lin Yuan, Su Li, and Iron Guard defeated Shadow and destroyed the Dark Mechanical Race fleet, breaking the Origin Barrier. Inside the Universe Origin Place, Lin Yuan absorbed Shadow’s core energy and prepared to activate the Ancient Defense Array.

• Su Li cut into the Demon God’s mechanical joint while Iron Guard used a purification wave to dismantle Shadow’s control and destabilize the fusion body.
• Shadow burned the Ancient Dark Mechanical Core and unleashed a surge of power, but Lin Yuan struck its Core Crystal Nucleus with the Demon God Slaying Sword and killed it.
• Su Li and Iron Guard annihilated the fleeing Dark Mechanical Race fleet after Shadow fell.
• The Origin Barrier dissipated, revealing the Hongmeng Origin Pool and the Ancient Defense Array Nexus inside the Universe Origin Place.
• Shadow’s remaining core energy converged into Lin Yuan, restoring and strengthening him as he resolved to activate the Defense Array.

Lin Yuan broke the Origin Restriction and claimed the Pure Star Core Origin, then joined the other civilizations in activating the Defense Array against the approaching Extraterrestrial Race. When the Ancient Alliance Leader revealed that the array required a guardian bound to its core, Lin Yuan volunteered.

• The Ancient Alliance Leader explained that Lin Yuan needed to pass the Origin Restriction's trial to obtain the Pure Star Core Origin.
• Lin Yuan endured an illusion of the Star Core Beast's ancient battle and broke the restriction with his resolve as a Hongmeng Guardian.
• Lin Yuan claimed the Pure Star Core Origin and learned that the Extraterrestrial Race would reach the universe's barrier in half a year.
• Gu Qinghe, Su Li, Iron Guard, the Plant Spirit Envoy, the Crystal Race Leader, and the Star Cloud Leader poured their powers into the Defense Array Core, activating a barrier around the universe.
• The Ancient Alliance Leader said the Defense Array needed an Origin Guardian who would fuse with the six elemental origins and remain at the core, and Lin Yuan volunteered.

Lin Yuan fused the six streams of origin energy and became the universe’s Guardian, bound to maintain the defensive barrier. When the Extraterrestrial Race launched its invasion with a vast swarm of Extraterrestrial Bugs, he used the formation’s purification beams to destroy many of them, but the swarm remained enormous.

• Lin Yuan entered the defensive formation’s core and endured the violent energy as his Primal Chaos Saint Body and Hongmeng Dimensional Sword Intent fused the six origins within him.
• The fusion made Lin Yuan the Guardian and bound his core consciousness to the barrier, though he reassured Gu Qinghe, Su Li, and Iron Guard that it would not break while he remained.
• Iron Guard detected probing attacks from the Extraterrestrial Race, and countless Extraterrestrial Bugs began striking the Seven-Colored Barrier.
• Lin Yuan activated Six-Element Purification Mode and fired Seven-Colored Purification Beams that annihilated swaths of bugs and tore gaps through their swarm.
• The Extraterrestrial Bugs continued to pour in, and Lin Yuan’s beams could not destroy them all quickly.

Lin Yuan and the Anti-Alliance Fleet defended the Seven-Colored Barrier, then launched a surprise attack that destroyed the Extraterrestrial Mothership’s energy core. As the mothership began to break apart, it sent a signal that summoned the Extraterrestrial Race’s Vanguard Army.

• Su Li and Iron Guard led the Anti-Alliance Fleet in clearing Extraterrestrial Bugs while Lin Yuan purified them from within the barrier.
• The Extraterrestrial Mothership fired on one point of the Seven-Colored Barrier, opening a crack that Lin Yuan temporarily repaired with Pure Star Core Origin.
• Gu Qinghe urged the fleet to attack the mothership, and Lin Yuan ordered Su Li and Iron Guard to lead the strike under the Nebula Civilization’s Space Concealment.
• Su Li cut through the mothership’s defensive shield, and Iron Guard sent Hongmeng Drone Mechas to destroy its energy core with Star Core Bombs.
• The damaged mothership emitted an extraterrestrial signal, and the Vanguard Army arrived from the depths of space.

Lin Yuan organized the Anti-Alliance’s defenses after the Extraterrestrial Vanguard Army arrived, then broke through to the second level of the Sky Stepping Realm. The battle began with the fleet intercepting Corrosion Bombs and destroying two motherships, but three Extraterrestrial Generals transformed into giants and charged Su Li’s fleet.

• Lin Yuan convened an emergency meeting and assigned the Anti-Alliance’s forces to strengthen the barrier, intercept the Vanguard Army, develop purification weapons, and track enemy movements.
• Lin Yuan broke through to the second level of the Sky Stepping Realm as preparations began, and the Star Cloud Civilization warned that the Vanguard Army carried barrier-corrupting bombs.
• The Vanguard Army arrived with ten motherships and fired Corrosion Bombs at the barrier, but the Star Cloud Civilization trapped them in a spatial net and Su Li’s fleet purified them.
• Iron Guard’s Mechanical Fleet bombarded the motherships while Lin Yuan’s Six-Element Sword Qi destroyed two of their energy cores.
• Three Extraterrestrial Generals transformed into giants and charged toward Su Li’s main fleet.

Lin Yuan and his allies fought off three powerful Extraterrestrial Giants, then learned that an Extraterrestrial Lord awaited in the Extraterrestrial Abyss. Unable to leave the Defense Array Core, Lin Yuan sent Su Li and the Expeditionary Fleet through a passage toward the enemy’s lair, where they immediately encountered a dangerous Extraterrestrial Storm.

• Su Li wounded an Extraterrestrial Giant, Iron Guard dismantled another’s defenses, and Star Cloud Leader restrained the third, but the three could not defeat the giants alone.
• Lin Yuan struck from the Defense Array Core with the Hongmeng Dimensional Sword and killed Su Li’s opponent, prompting the remaining giants to flee and reveal a signal to the Extraterrestrial Abyss.
• Iron Guard identified an Extraterrestrial Lord of the Fourth Level of the Sky Stepping Realm as the Vanguard Army’s commander-in-chief, and Lin Yuan ordered an expedition to destroy the Mother Nest.
• Lin Yuan appointed Su Li commander of the Expeditionary Fleet and Iron Guard, Gu Qinghe, and Star Cloud Leader as deputy commanders, then opened an Extraterrestrial Passage for them.
• Several days later, Su Li led the assembled fleet of the five civilizations into the passage, where an Extraterrestrial Storm battered the ships and rapidly damaged their shields.

The Expeditionary Fleet used the Plant Spirit Envoy’s Life Mother Tree energy to survive the corrosion storm and reach the Extraterrestrial Abyss. Su Li led the Four-Element Civilization in a fierce battle against the Abyss Guards, while Lin Yuan joined the assault to clear the path forward.

• The Plant Spirit Envoy formed a Plant Shield that absorbed the corrosion storm and let the Expeditionary Fleet reach the edge of the Extraterrestrial Abyss.
• Iron Guard detected over a hundred Abyss Guards, and Su Li ordered the fleet to prepare for battle.
• The Four-Element Civilization attacked together, using Star Core Bombs, the Life Shield, Space Traps, and Purification Bombs to break through the Abyss Guards’ defensive line.
• Su Li ordered the fleet’s main cannons to fire, while Gu Qinghe’s Purification Bombs weakened the Abyss Guards and Iron Guard’s Mechanical Legion restrained them.
• Lin Yuan sensed the Extraterrestrial Vanguard Army’s attacks intensifying and used multicolored Sword Qi to swiftly destroy several Abyss Guards.

Su Li’s Expeditionary Fleet found the Extraterrestrial Mother Nest and attacked it, but the Extraterrestrial Lord suppressed the fleet and destroyed warships after boosting its strength with the Mother Nest. Lin Yuan’s power broke through to the Third Level of the Sky Stepping Realm as he prepared to confront the Lord.

• Su Li ordered the Expeditionary Fleet to break through the Abyss Guard defensive line, revealing the Extraterrestrial Mother Nest, fifty motherships, and the Extraterrestrial Lord.
• Su Li and Gu Qinghe ordered a full assault, while Iron Guard launched Star Core Bombs at the motherships.
• The Extraterrestrial Lord unleashed its Domain, suppressing the fleet, and Lin Yuan’s Guardian Sword Shield blocked its attack on Su Li’s flagship.
• The Extraterrestrial Lord drew on the Mother Nest’s energy to reach the Fifth Level of the Sky Stepping Realm and began destroying the fleet’s warships.
• Lin Yuan’s Origin Guardian energy erupted, raising his strength to the Third Level of the Sky Stepping Realm as he challenged the Extraterrestrial Lord.

Lin Yuan and Su Li defeated the Extraterrestrial Lord, but its Mother Nest began a catastrophic self-destruct that threatened the Cosmic Barrier. Lin Yuan severed the self-destruct program with his Ultimate Hongmeng Dimensional Sword, then discovered that absorbing the Extraterrestrial Origin Crystal could strengthen him but might also corrupt his soul.

• Lin Yuan's Myriad Sword Rain weakened the Extraterrestrial Lord, allowing Su Li to pierce its core with her Dimensional Sword Intent.
• As the dying Extraterrestrial Lord triggered the Mother Nest's self-destruct, Gu Qinghe's Purification Bombs failed, Iron Guard's Mechanical Anchors collapsed, and the Star Cloud Leader's attempt to transfer the energy proved ineffective.
• With the countdown near its end, Lin Yuan used the Ultimate Hongmeng Dimensional Sword to pierce the Mother Nest's core and sever its self-destruct program.
• The fleet celebrated as the Mother Nest's energy subsided, then Su Li and Gu Qinghe identified a pitch-black Extraterrestrial Origin Crystal inside it.
• Lin Yuan sensed the crystal could strengthen the defensive formation and help him reach the Fourth Level of the Sky Stepping Realm, but Iron Guard warned that its energy could corrode his soul.

Lin Yuan absorbed the Extraterrestrial Origin Crystal with Gu Qinghe’s help, reached the Fourth Level of the Sky Stepping Realm, and gained a transformed sword intent. As the Extraterrestrial Mother Nest collapsed, a Royal Court envoy fled with a signal, while a new passage revealed the Hongmeng Tribe and the secrets of the Origin Land.

• Lin Yuan used his Primal Chaos Saint Body and Gu Qinghe’s Six-Element Purification Energy to absorb the Extraterrestrial Origin Crystal, advancing to the Fourth Level of the Sky Stepping Realm and transforming his sword intent into the Hongmeng Extraterrestrial Sword.
• With the crystal gone, the Extraterrestrial Mother Nest collapsed, its eggs withered, and the surviving Extraterrestrial Race scattered as Lin Yuan’s sword intent purified the released energy.
• Iron Guard detected a Third Level of the Sky Stepping Realm envoy carrying an Extraterrestrial Royal Court Signal toward the entrance to the Extraterrestrial Abyss.
• A new space passage opened behind the Defense Array Core, revealing a rune-covered archipelago, the Hongmeng Origin Crystal Cluster, and the Hongmeng Tribe.
• Hongmeng Elder recognized Lin Yuan as the Hongmeng Guardian, praised him for defeating the Extraterrestrial Lord, and revealed that the Origin Land had six zones and a Forbidden Zone containing secrets about the universe’s birth.

Lin Yuan traveled to the Spiritual Plant, Crystal, and Mechanical Zones to unite the native races against the Extraterrestrial Race. The Crystal Leader revealed the origin of the six regions and the Chaos Race, while the Mechanical Overlord demanded a direct benefit before agreeing to an alliance.

• Lin Yuan went to the Spiritual Plant Zone, where the Spiritual Plant Mother recognized him as the Hongmeng Guardian and pledged the Plant Spirit Clan's support.
• The Spiritual Plant Mother gave Lin Yuan a token to take to the Crystal Zone.
• The Crystal Leader showed Lin Yuan an Ancient Covenant scroll explaining that Chaos Corrosion had split the six regions and that the Chaos Race recognized only source-level powerhouses.
• The Crystal Leader gave Lin Yuan a Crystal Race token to use in the Mechanical Zone.
• Lin Yuan entered the Mechanical fortress and asked the Mechanical Overlord to form an alliance against the Extraterrestrial Race.
• The Mechanical Overlord refused to accept shared survival as sufficient reason and asked Lin Yuan what he could offer in exchange.

Lin Yuan exchanged the Hongmeng Purification Technique with the Mechanical Overlord for the Source Energy Conversion Technique, then secured the Nebula Clan’s alliance and a map of the Origin Land. After discovering that Chaos Remnants yielded Chaos Cores tied to the Chaos Race, he entered the Chaos Mist to face the Chaos Trial for the Source Key, where he found himself on a burning Blue Star.

• Lin Yuan traded the Hongmeng Purification Technique to the Mechanical Overlord for the Source Energy Conversion Technique and learned that the Nebula Zone lay west of the Origin Land.
• The Nebula Venerable agreed to join the Alliance and provide a map of the Origin Land if Lin Yuan cleansed the Chaos Remnants in the Nebula Zone.
• Lin Yuan purified the Chaos Remnants and discovered that the black crystals they left behind were Chaos Cores connected to the Chaos Race.
• Lin Yuan and representatives of the five regions met the Chaos Ancestor, who agreed to give him the Source Key if he passed the Chaos Trial.
• Lin Yuan entered the Chaos Mist and found himself on Blue Star as extraterrestrial motherships attacked a burning city.
