Chapter Summaries

After Lu Chengfeng returned from the Lin Family broken by Lin Yuan’s overwhelming power, Marshal Zhao Lie praised Lin Yuan and ordered the military to stop recruiting him while granting him a Special Grade Honorary Advisor title. Zhao then summoned the country’s top generals to watch secret footage of Lin Yuan sleeping, leaving them baffled.

• Zhao summoned dozens of generals to the strategic conference room and played footage of Lin Yuan sleeping peacefully in the Lin Family’s Back Courtyard.

Wang Pojun and the other commanders questioned why Zhao Lie had summoned them to watch Lin Yuan sleep, but Zhao Lie ordered them to keep watching. As Lin Yuan slept, he caused a Heaven-and-Earth Resonance and his aura rapidly climbed to the fifth stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, leaving the commanders stunned.

Zhao Lie revealed that Lin Yuan had reached the Fifth Level of Meridian Opening Realm before age twenty and argued that he could become a decisive force in the War of Ten Thousand Races.

• Wang Pojun proposed forcing Lin Yuan into the military, but Zhao Lie warned that coercion could alienate him and create a powerful enemy.

Zhao Lie proposed appointing Lin Yuan a Military Headquarters Special Grade Honorary Advisor with the rank of Senior Colonel, provoking fierce opposition from the generals. After defending the decision as essential to protecting Dragon Summer, he won their support and ordered Lin Yuan moved to Villa Seven at the Celestial Pivot Base.

• Lin Jianguo announced that the marshal had ordered Lin Yuan to go to the Celestial Pivot Base, where a car was already waiting.

Lin Yuan arrived at Celestial Pivot Base as a Special Grade Honorary Advisor and ignored the trainees and instructors while looking for a place to sleep. Su Li, angered by what she saw as his undeserved privileges, confronted him on the lawn and declared that he did not deserve to stay at the base.

• Lin Yuan arrived at Celestial Pivot Base in casual clothes and flip-flops, then praised the dense spiritual energy.
• Lin Yuan wandered around the base, dismissed its training areas as unsuitable for sleeping, and settled on a sunny lawn.

• Su Li went to confront Lin Yuan after seeing him lie down on the lawn.
• Lin Yuan refused to get up, and Su Li told him that a good-for-nothing like him did not deserve to stay at the base.

Lin Yuan overwhelmed Su Li and the Celestial Pivot Base trainees with a terrifying, inexplicable aura while remaining sprawled on the lawn. Su Li realized his presence surpassed even the Ancient Martial God Statue’s, as Lin Yuan asked to be left alone to sleep.

• Su Li confronted Lin Yuan and ordered him to stand up or leave, but he called her a buzzing fly.
• As Su Li prepared to attack, Lin Yuan released a vast pressure that extinguished her aura and forced her to retreat half a step.

• In the command center, the instructors watched in shock, and the bald instructor dropped his water cup.
• Su Li recognized a life-level pressure stronger than the might she had sensed from the Ancient Martial God Statue.
• Lin Yuan asked Su Li to let him sleep in peace.

A Beast Tide of more than one hundred thousand exotic beasts threatened the Celestial Pivot Base, forcing its personnel to mobilize for an A-Rank Defense Mission. Lin Yuan realized the attack foretold the Void-Rending Beast King’s emergence and stood up to protect the spiritual energy of his chosen sanctuary.

• The base’s alarm announced that a Beast Tide had breached the third defensive line in Wilderness Zone No. 7, and combat personnel rushed to prepare for the A-Rank Defense Mission.
• The instructors organized the base’s defenses, and Su Li warned Lin Yuan to hide or stay out of the way as she headed to Number One Square.
• Lin Yuan initially dismissed the Beast Tide and complained that the commotion was disturbing his rest.
• Lin Yuan remembered that the Beast Tide foreshadowed the Void-Rending Beast King, whose spatial rift would drain the region’s spiritual energy.
• Concerned about losing his comfortable sanctuary, Lin Yuan stood up and decided to see what was happening.

At Celestial Pivot Base, Lin Yuan interrupted the Beast Tide briefing to warn that a nearly adult Void-Rending Beast King would open a Space Rift to the Ouro Continent. The soldiers and Su Li dismissed his warning, and Lin Yuan withdrew to wait for reality to prove him right.

• Shi Potian briefed the troops on the Ironback Wolf and Earthquake Bear Beast Tide and ordered three combat brigades to defend key passes.
• Lin Yuan arrived in flip-flops, and Shi Potian told him the A-level mission was too dangerous for him to join.
• Lin Yuan pointed to the wilderness on the tactical map and warned that a Void-Rending Beast King would open a rift to the Ouro Continent.
• The soldiers mocked Lin Yuan and accused him of spreading rumors that would undermine morale.
• Su Li confronted Lin Yuan and ordered him to stop speaking and leave the troops alone.
• Lin Yuan declined to explain himself and leaned against a pillar in a corner of the square.

Shi Potian’s forces deployed to three Kunlun passes, where the beasts proved far stronger and more numerous than expected. At Eagle Sorrow Ravine, Su Li’s line buckled under the Ironback Wolves while the other routes called for reinforcements, leaving Shi Potian stunned by the crisis.

• Shi Potian ordered the troops to carry out the original plan and sent them toward the three passes.
• Su Li’s central-route squad built defenses at Eagle Sorrow Ravine as she remained uneasy about the coming Beast Tide.
• Tens of thousands of unusually powerful Ironback Wolves attacked, overwhelming the defenses with coordinated tactics.
• Su Li charged into the pack and killed wolves with her spear, but she was wounded and rapidly exhausted as the beasts surrounded her.
• The left route reported an attack by oversized Earthquake Bears, and the right route called for help against poisonous Shadow Serpents.
• Shi Potian heard the desperate pleas for reinforcements and realized the Exotic Beasts were far stronger than expected.

The Void-Rending Beast King appeared at Eagle Sorrow Ravine, confirming Lin Yuan’s warning and overwhelming the defenders. After it gravely wounded Su Li, Lin Yuan appeared before it and nullified its crushing pressure.

• At Celestial Pivot Base, the Beast King’s roar and dark-purple sky alarmed Shi Potian, who recalled Lin Yuan’s warning about the Void-Rending Beast King and a rift to the Ouro Continent.
• The Ironback Wolves stopped attacking and bowed as the Void-Rending Beast King emerged and charged toward Eagle Sorrow Ravine’s entrance.
• Su Li attacked the Beast King to defend the Celestial Pivot Base, but its casual blow shattered her protection and sent her crashing into a rock wall unconscious.
• Lin Yuan appeared before the Beast King and quietly offset its terrifying pressure.

Lin Yuan confronted the Void-Rending Beast King after it overwhelmed Su Li and the battlefield warriors. He unleashed a colossal sword array that pierced the Beast King's defenses and pinned it to the ground, leaving it completely suppressed.

• Shi Potian and the wounded Su Li watched in shock as Lin Yuan stood before the Void-Rending Beast King, while the other warriors feared he was throwing his life away.
• The Void-Rending Beast King inhaled with a spatial force that pulled rubble, corpses, and air toward its maw to annihilate Lin Yuan.
• Lin Yuan unleashed overwhelming sword intent and summoned hundreds of millions of golden swords with the Nine Tribulations Heaven Evolving Sword Array and Vast Ocean Sword Intent.
• The Beast King formed layers of spatial barriers, but Lin Yuan's sword torrent shattered them and tore through its body.
• In one second, Lin Yuan's swords pinned the Beast King to the ground and trapped it in a gigantic cage of divine swords.

Lin Yuan killed the Void-Rending Beast King with one move, leaving the warriors stunned by his strength despite his recorded Meridian Opening Realm. As the troops regrouped and an unstable spatial rift remained open, a knight from the other side burst into Dragon Summer Country and confronted them.

• Lin Yuan killed the peak Spiritual Manifestation Realm Void-Rending Beast King with Ten Thousand Swords in a Thought, shocking everyone who believed he was only at the Meridian Opening Realm.
• Shi Potian ordered the warriors to count casualties and clear out the remaining Exotic Beasts, and the troops reported no deaths despite widespread injuries and damaged equipment.
• The spatial vortex grew more unstable, and a rift opened onto a desert landscape where low-level Exotic Beasts fled through and were shot by the waiting warriors.
• Gunfire and explosions sounded beyond the rift, and a blond knight in silver armor burst through it and landed among the Dragon Summer Country warriors.
• The knight raised his spear and demanded to know who they were, claiming the area belonged to the Holy Knight Order under the jurisdiction of the Ouro Continent.

Su Li explained the Space Rift and the Void-Rending Beast King to Lain, a knight from the Ouro Continent, while Lin Yuan remained uninterested in the visitors. After Lain and his knights returned through the rift, it began to destabilize, but the Solar God of War appeared and sealed it.

• Su Li challenged Lain and his knights to explain why they had emerged from a Space Rift in Dragon Summer Country.
• Lain introduced himself as captain of the Holy Knight Order’s Third Squad and explained that spatial turbulence had swept them from the Ouro Continent.
• Su Li said Lin Yuan had suppressed the Void-Rending Beast King, and Lain expressed concern that Exotic Beasts were growing stronger across both continents.
• Lain and his knights left through the Space Rift, hoping Dragon Summer Country and the Ouro Continent could join forces against the beasts.
• As reinforcements arrived, the Space Rift began widening, and Shi Potian warned that its collapse could swallow the Kunlun Mountain Range.
• The Solar God of War struck the rift with Golden Sword Qi, repaired the spatial barrier, and vanished after briefly looking at Lin Yuan.

After Lin Yuan’s display of overwhelming power, the warriors at Eagle Sorrow Ravine worshiped him, and Su Li found a new goal to pursue. Shi Potian offered him command of the Celestial Pivot Base, but Lin Yuan rejected the offer and told him to keep the base unchanged before walking away.

• Hundreds of warriors knelt before Lin Yuan and shouted their adoration, while Su Li felt her faith shift and chose him as the goal she would pursue.
• Shi Potian arrived and offered Lin Yuan the Celestial Pivot Order, declaring that everyone in the Celestial Pivot Base would follow his lead.
• Lin Yuan rebuked Shi Potian for attempting to surrender command without authorization and reminded him to follow military regulations.

• Lin Yuan declined the authority and resources, told Shi Potian to keep the base as it was, and strolled away.

After lying motionless for seven days, Lin Yuan triggered a massive spiritual-energy vortex that drained the Celestial Pivot Base and its main Spirit Vein. The system’s reward propelled him to the Peak Ninth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, where he unleashed a pillar of golden light that transformed the sky.

• For seven days, Lin Yuan lay peacefully on the lawn, and the Celestial Pivot Base’s trainees came to regard him as their source of security.
• On the seventh morning, Lin Yuan’s body drew in spiritual energy, creating a huge vortex that spread over the base and caused its spiritual energy to plummet.
• The vortex awakened the base’s Earth Vein Spirit Patterns and main Spirit Vein, drawing out enough energy to create a rain of golden Spiritual Liquid.
• Shi Potian saw the spectacle on the command center’s surveillance screens and stared in horror.
• The system rewarded Lin Yuan for lying down continuously for 168 hours, raising him through the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Layers of the Meridian Opening Realm before he reached the Peak Ninth Layer.
• Lin Yuan’s Qi Sea crystallized, his aura detonated the vortex, and a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, turning clouds within a thousand kilometers gold.

Dragon Summer Country’s Martial Gods sensed a remarkable breakthrough, while on the Ouro Continent, Lain’s Holy Knight squad was slaughtered by the Divine Court. Facing certain death, Lain opened a rift toward Dragon Summer Country and plunged into it.

• The Solar God of War, Shangguan Jinghong, Tie Kuang, and Lin Zhan sensed a heavenly manifestation over the Kunlun Mountain Range and praised the young man who had broken through into the Meridian Opening Realm.
• The Divine Court ambushed the Holy Knight Order’s Third Squad, and Lain watched his last subordinate die.
• The Black Robe Figure overwhelmed Lain and left him gravely injured among the ruins.
• Lain recognized the unstable Space Node where a rift to Dragon Summer Country had once been and detonated his Flame Hammer to tear it open.
• Lain plunged into the Space Rift as it began to close.

Lain escaped through a space rift to Dragon Summer Country, where a patrol found him gravely wounded and brought him to the Celestial Pivot Base. As doctors declared his injuries nearly untreatable, Lin Yuan arrived with a Heavenly Grade Top Tier pill.

• The Divine Court's Black Robe Figures refused to pursue Lain into Dragon Summer Country because their Divine Official had ordered them to avoid action there until the plan was complete.
• A patrol near the Celestial Pivot Base discovered Lain and, after Shi Potian's instructions, transported him to the medical center.
• The medical center's director determined that Lain's severe injuries and the Shadow energy inside him left him with less than three hours to live.
• Lin Yuan recognized the energy as belonging to the Divine Court and produced a crimson Heavenly Grade Top Tier pill.

Lin Yuan healed Lain with a miraculous pill, and Lain revealed that the Divine Court had ambushed the Holy Knight Order on the Ouro Continent. He pleaded for Dragon Summer Country’s help, while Shi Potian promised to report the crisis and convene an emergency meeting.

• Shi Potian said he would report the crisis to Dragon Summer Country’s higher-ups and convene an emergency meeting while the Celestial Pivot Base cared for Lain.

• Lin Yuan explained that he wanted to eliminate the Divine Court so the spatial rifts would stop threatening his peace, and Zhao Lie praised his decision.
