Chapter Summaries

Guen spoke with King Kongnan in the Virtual Universe, where his teacher explained King Xuanzhong’s hostility and warned him about the Second Star Domain Prison. After arranging for the Kano Race and his mother to move, Guen arrived at the prison, where Immortal guards stopped his ship and his Virtual Universe connection was cut off.

• King Kongxi told Guen that King Kongnan had beaten King Xuanzhong again and reminded him that his Virtual Universe connection would end in the Star Domain Prison.
• Guen met King Kongnan at Hongliu Palace, learned that his teacher had no personal grudge against King Xuanzhong, and heard why tensions between the five giants persisted.
• King Kongnan warned Guen that the Second Star Domain Prison was dangerous, and Guen promised to return in one piece.
• King Kongxi sent Guen and his escorts away from Miaosui Island, and Guen watched their ship depart for the prison.
• Guen recalled asking Zuirong, Lante, and others to move his mother Ina and the Kano Race to the Fengyu Star System, and he found inspiration in the Law of Time.
• A massive fortress halted Guen’s ship, and Immortal prison guards approached as Moto reported that the Virtual Universe connection had been interrupted.

Guen arrived at the Star Domain Prison, where the Prison Venerable inspected Tanshi’s new disciple and arranged for Marquis Nanhu to give him supplies. Guen was sent back to the Ox-Head Jailer with enough Nutrient Solution to reach the ninth level of the World Lord stage.

• The Ox-Head Jailer escorted Guen into the fortress without shackles, while a one-eyed giant who protested the apparent special treatment lost twenty percent of his divine body to a jailer’s mace.
• Nuoding was called forward from the Fifth Star Domain Prison, and the other prisoners realized his prison level was far more dangerous than most of theirs.
• The Ox-Head Jailer brought Guen to a brightly lit hall, where the Prison Venerable appeared on the throne and asked to see Tanshi’s new disciple.
• Marquis Nanhu gave Guen a World Ring containing enough Nutrient Solution to advance to the ninth level of the World Lord stage.
• The Prison Venerable dismissed Guen, who reappeared beside the Ox-Head Jailer and followed him onward.

Guen entered the Second Star Domain Prison and learned how its rules and deadly environment controlled the prisoners. After reaching the Dark Wind Star Domain, he discovered that the Stone Island was only one of three places where prisoners could escape the Dark Wind and Ancient Viruses.

• The Ox-Head Jailer warned Guen that releasing lifeforms beyond his power and directly killing another prisoner were forbidden.
• Guards sent Guen and twenty-nine other prisoners through a Cosmic Passage after placing Space-time runes on their foreheads.
• Guen arrived on a Stone Island, where King Anjia announced the rules and threatened death for trespassing or fighting nearby.
• Guen read the prison rules and learned that the Dark Wind drained energy while Ancient Viruses slowly destroyed souls.
• Guen learned that the Stone Islands and Mobile Prison Planets were safe havens, while the Drifting Star Fragment was the only protected area prisoners could enter.

Guen learned that Silver Dust Iron was the Star Domain Prison’s essential currency and flew away from Stone Island to find a place to survive. After more than two months, a Yanpoluo Immortal God invited him to join the Laiyin Star Cluster, but Guen declined to decide immediately.

• Guen reviewed the restrictions of the Second Star Domain Prison, where prisoners mined Silver Dust Iron to trade for Soul Medicine and faced strict limits on using stored items and weapons.
• Guen left Stone Island and flew through the dark void, avoiding the many groups of Immortal Gods gathered around Star Fragment clusters.
• After traveling for more than two months, Guen encountered a Yanpoluo Immortal God who approached him in a blaze of fire.
• The Yanpoluo Immortal God invited Guen to join the Laiyin Star Cluster and explained that groups offered protection and access to Star Fragments.
• Guen said he would think about the offer, and the Yanpoluo Immortal God returned to his cluster.

Guen encountered four Realm Lords on a drifting star fragment and learned about the dangers and survival rules of the Second Star Domain Prison. He joined their group under the alias Leihe, and they set course deeper into the prison.

• Guen approached a star fragment and met Silver Armor, Black Snake, Red Dragon, and Dream Woman, who warned him about the cold, dwindling energy, and undying prisoners who forced Realm Lords into labor.
• Guen told the group that an undying being from the Laiyin Star Cluster had tried to recruit him and that the cluster controlled more than ten silver star fragments.
• Guen agreed to travel with the four Realm Lords under their safety rules and introduced himself as Leihe.
• Dream Woman introduced the group, and Silver Armor changed the star fragment's course farther into the prison while warning Guen to conserve inanimate objects.

Guen began receiving the Mengdu Divine Envoy Inheritance in the Star Domain Prison, learning that its secret canon could greatly strengthen his soul and grant profound mastery of space techniques. He immersed himself in cultivation, hoping to reach the level needed to master Space Lockdown despite his limited Law Comprehension.

• Guen disguised his true surroundings, released a robot to keep watch, and prepared a Demon Envoy duplicate and a hidden Flame Star Behemoth as protection.
• Guen used the Inheritance Crystal and received the message that he was the first to begin the Mengdu Divine Envoy Inheritance.
• The inheritance poured its cultivation knowledge into Guen, revealing a foundation that increased Soul Amplitude and a special secret method centered on space and illusions.
• Guen learned that cultivating roughly 60% of the secret method could let him use Space Strangulation, while mastering it would not grant true Teleportation.
• Guen resolved to aim for Space Lockdown, though his Law Comprehension was only at the fifteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Guen continued cultivating the Mengdu Divine Envoy Secret Method, becoming a recognized inheritor as his Soul Amplitude grew. Meanwhile, two Undying attacked a group of World Lords on a star fragment, and the chapter ended with the fragment shattered and the World Lords trapped under a Law Domain.

• Guen reached one-tenth of the first stage after thirty-nine days and learned that the inheritance was divided into upper and lower parts.
• Two Undying spotted a star fragment and discovered several World Lords on it, deciding that capturing them would be more rewarding.
• The Silver Armor World Lord warned Leihe to flee as the Orc Immortal unleashed his Beast Roar and split the star fragment apart.
• The Green-Haired Ape Immortal trapped the four World Lords in his Law Domain, while the Red Dragon's World Projection resisted the suppression.
• The Orc Immortal demanded that the World Lords join their star group and shattered the remaining half of the star fragment when he sensed someone hiding.

Guen used a Demon Envoy Fruit duplicate to fight the Beast Immortal while continuing the inheritance. The duplicate’s powerful World Projection and techniques let it suppress and strike the undying god, but the Beast Immortal’s counterattack weakened it, leaving Guen aware of the duplicate’s limits.

• Guen hid his true presence in a star fragment and sent his Demon Envoy duplicate to confront the Beast Immortal while preparing Yanxing for battle.
• The Beast Immortal attacked with his Law Domain, but the duplicate’s vast World Projection pushed it back and matched its force.
• Guen reinforced the duplicate’s World Projection with Qihe God’s Space-Time Realm and Eben’s tearing force, weakening the Beast Immortal and disrupting his charge.
• The Beast Immortal used a Golden Bone Spike and his Heart-Piercing Stab to pierce the projection and badly damage the duplicate despite its defensive techniques.
• Guen’s duplicate struck back repeatedly with the Thunder Dragon Staff and Qihe God’s energy phantoms, but the Beast Immortal endured the attacks and continued pursuing it.
• Guen recognized that the duplicate’s limited law mastery and weaker body made it less formidable than his true body.

Guen's clone trapped the Beast Immortal in an illusion, but the Green-Haired Ape countered with Wood World Descent and cut the clone off from the other Realm Lords. Guen abandoned his attempt to help them and prepared to escape in a spaceship, leaving the Immortals behind.

• The Beast Immortal used a golden-light attack to corner Guen's clone, believing he had defeated him.
• The Beast Immortal realized he had been trapped in an illusion, and Guen concluded that the Immortal was inexperienced and weak against soul attacks.
• Guen's clone distracted the Green-Haired Ape, giving the Silver Armor World Lord, the Black Snake World Lord, Dream Woman, and World Master Red Dragon hope.
• The Green-Haired Ape unleashed Wood World Descent, blocking Guen's clone from reaching the four Realm Lords.
• Guen decided not to release the Flame Star Behemoth and boarded an E-Grade Spaceship while his clone flew back to cover his escape.
• Guen's clone reached the spaceship, which carried him away as the two Immortals and four Realm Lords watched.

Guen’s clone helped World Master Red Dragon and three others escape two Immortals, then made the four World Masters agree to follow his orders. Red Dragon revealed that he came from Shanhai World, a distant homeland of a distinct branch of humanity.

• Silver Armor and Black Snake watched as the Immortals abandoned their attempt to capture Guen and attacked the four World Masters.
• World Master Red Dragon transformed into a monstrous alien-like form and opened a red passage that carried the four World Masters away from the Immortals.
• Guen’s clone returned with Qihe God’s support, and he and Red Dragon held off the Immortals until they gave up the pursuit.
• The four World Masters thanked Guen’s clone and agreed to follow his orders in return for saving them.
• Guen’s clone questioned whether Red Dragon was human, and Red Dragon explained that humanity included many distinct branches before naming his homeland, Shanhai World.

Guen's clone learned why World Master Red Dragon had been imprisoned, while Guen spent years gathering Silver Dust Iron and receiving the Mengdu Divine Envoy inheritance. The inheritance pushed Guen's consciousness to its limit, and he passed out as the crystal began a 10,081-era dormant period.

• World Master Red Dragon explained that he was an Alien Human from Shanhai World and had caused a huge scene after mistaking his welcome in Human Territory for an insult.
• Guen's clone believed Red Dragon's account and compared his unusual traits to those of humanity's Xisi Race.
• After twenty-four days of travel, Guen and the World Masters found an unclaimed star fragment, where the World Masters began refining Silver Dust Iron for him.
• Over four years, Guen and his companions faced an Immortal Military Lord and forced him to retreat before moving to another star fragment.
• Guen continued receiving the inheritance for over a century as his soul transformed and Source Patterns strengthened his Soul Amplitude.
• Guen's consciousness reached its limit and he passed out unharmed, while the Divine Envoy Inheritance Crystal began its 10,081-era dormant period.

Guen recovered from passing out and discovered that his Soul Amplitude had risen to 3,888 after learning more than half of Divine Envoy Mengdu’s inheritance. Ten years after arriving at the Second Star Domain Prison, he left a mined star fragment with four World Masters and set out for the nearest Prison Planet to trade Silver Dust Iron for Soul Medicine.

• Guen reawakened his clone and celebrated reaching a Soul Amplitude of 3,888, though he regretted falling short of learning Space Lockdown.
• Guen cultivated Luofeng for a year, reached its third layer, and then began studying Soul Palace and Mo Hou Canon.
• Ten years after Guen arrived at the Second Star Domain Prison, World Master Red Dragon told him the group had nearly finished mining their star fragment and wanted to reach a Prison Planet.
• World Master Red Dragon gave Guen a Space Ring containing 147.8 kilograms of Silver Dust Iron, and Guen used its resonance to identify the direction of the nearest Prison Planet.
• Guen learned that immortal-deity groups might escort or rob World Masters on the journey, then led World Master Red Dragon, Dream Woman, World Master Silver Armor, and Black Snake into the starry sky.

Guen strengthened his Internal World with Yushan Leisi’s plates while traveling to Prison Planet, where he confronted a Purple-skinned Immortal. After effortlessly destroying her attack, Guen charged at her to test his powerful soul attacks.

• Yushan Leisi merged more than three hundred inscribed bony plates into Guen’s Origin Bead, greatly strengthening his Internal World.
• Guen’s group reached the vicinity of Prison Planet’s fragments, and Dream Woman warned them that they would soon need Soul Medicines to counter the Ancient Virus.
• Guen sensed a hidden guest and revealed the Purple-skinned Immortal, whose Law Domain pressured the World Lords but failed to affect him.
• The Purple-skinned Immortal attacked with eighty-eight Purple Lotuses, and Guen shattered them with his Thunder Dragon Staff.
• Guen activated Qihe God’s Space-Time Realm and charged at the Purple-skinned Immortal to test his soul attacks as the others watched in shock.

Guen used the Mo Hou Canon to strike Purple-skinned Immortal’s soul, badly damaging her divine body despite her superior Immortal strength. After his second Soul Attack weakened her further, Purple-skinned Immortal prepared to finish him with a physical attack.

• Purple-skinned Immortal attacked Guen with thousands of petals, but Guen deflected them and recognized her retreat into the dark starry sky.
• Guen unleashed the Mo Hou Canon, shattering Purple-skinned Immortal’s soul defenses and causing her to lose 8.91 percent of her divine body.
• Moto measured the damage as the four World Lords wondered how Purple-skinned Immortal had been injured.
• Guen moved toward Purple-skinned Immortal and struck her soul again, costing her another 3.85 percent of her divine body.
• Purple-skinned Immortal realized she had lost more than 10 percent of her divine body and drew a purple spear to attack Guen physically.

Guen defeated the Purple-skinned Immortal by trapping her in an illusion and striking her soul until she lost more than 47% of her divine body and fell into hibernation. As the other World Masters gathered around, Black Snake quietly moved toward her.

• The Purple-skinned Immortal repeatedly attacked Guen with her Purple Spear, and he used a Space-time Vortex, his World Projection, and Soul Attacks to fight back.
• Guen lured the Purple-skinned Immortal into an illusion with the Mengdu Divine Envoy Secret Method, then landed two Soul Attacks and a soul-infiltration attack.
• The Purple-skinned Immortal lost more than 47% of her divine body and fell into hibernation, while Guen realized that killing her could extend his prison sentence.
• The other World Masters praised Guen and questioned his origins after learning he had made an Immortal God hibernate.
• Black Snake remembered an enslavement Secret Method and quietly edged toward the hibernating Purple-skinned Immortal.

Guen continued testing his Soul Attacks in the Star Domain Prison, defeating Immortals and developing Double Soul Roar before preparing to leave for Stone Island. Elsewhere, Cao Benqi broke through to become a Universe Master, took the title Emperor Yan, and asked Primal Ancestor to give him the Chihai Prison.

• Guen stopped Black Snake from Soul Enslaving the unconscious Purple-skinned Immortal, then took her aboard his spaceship and kept her World Ring.
• Guen and the four World Lords left the battle site, while Dream Woman and the others agreed to follow his plans and Black Snake hid his own intentions.
• Guen defeated a giant Immortal and took his World Ring, then told Moto he had defeated seven Immortals while refining his Soul Attacks.
• Guen returned to Peak World Lord strength, reinforced his Internal World, and decided to head to Stone Island.
• Cao Benqi broke through to become a Universe Master and chose the title Emperor Yan.
• Emperor Yan asked Primal Ancestor to give him the Chihai Prison.

Emperor Yan sought Chihai Prison from the Human Race Treasury, while Guen discovered that the captured Purple-skinned Immortal had gained her unusual powers from a rare crystal cluster. Her story led Guen to suspect she had encountered Zihua Crystal Essence.

• Emperor Yan asked Primal Ancestor for Chihai Prison, but Lord of Ice Peak, Lord of Chaos City, and Lord of Huangjian urged him to choose another treasure or make up the difference.
• Black Snake hinted to Silver Armor that they could exploit the Immortal sleeping inside Guen’s spaceship, but Silver Armor refused to betray Guen and Leihe.
• Guen returned to the spaceship and found the Purple-skinned Immortal asleep at its center.
• Guen threatened to plant a Seed of Fear in the Purple-skinned Immortal, and she woke and begged him to stop.
• The Purple-skinned Immortal told Guen that she had fused with a space-law crystal cluster in a strange place, causing her mutation and Immortal breakthrough.
• Guen suspected that the crystal cluster was Zihua Crystal Essence, a rare spatial Origin-type treasure.

Guen identified the Purple-skinned Immortal’s transformation as the effects of Zihua Crystal Essence and forced her to reveal where she had found it. After searching her soul, he confirmed the coordinates but abandoned the location because it was near the fanatical Ghost Tomb Race.

• Guen explained that Zihua Crystal Essence had changed the Purple-skinned Immortal into a hybrid of Rock Lifeform and flesh-and-blood lifeform.
• The Purple-skinned Immortal gave Guen the coordinates where she had found the Zihua Crystal Essence, but refused to let him search her soul.
• Guen threatened to put the Purple-skinned Immortal back to sleep and diminish her divine body until she agreed to learn his Secret Method.
• After three days, the Purple-skinned Immortal opened part of her soul, and Guen searched her memories while protecting his own soul with the Soul Palace.
• Guen confirmed that the coordinates were genuine but more than a hundred eras old and near the Ghost Tomb Race, so he decided not to go there.

After leaving the Star Domain Prison, Guen reconnected with the Virtual Universe and caught up with messages from his family, teacher, and friends. He chose the Life and Death Path over the far deadlier Outer Domain Battlefield and opened the trial’s rules and rewards.

• Guen gave World Master Red Dragon his Space Ring and left the Star Domain Prison, while Red Dragon continued cultivating with the food Guen had left him.
• Hundreds of years later, news spread through the Prison Planet that a Virtual Universe Company Primal Secret Region Member had fallen into the Second Star Domain Prison.
• Guen and Moto passed through the Starfield Prison’s Cosmic Passage and regained their connection to the Virtual Universe.
• Guen spent two days replying to messages from his family, teacher, senior brothers, and friends, then read the Virtual Universe Company’s notices about his points and trial options.
• Guen rejected the Ghost Tomb Race’s Outer Domain Battlefield because of its extreme death rate and applied for the Life and Death Path.
• Guen received a new message containing the Life and Death Path’s rules and points rewards.

Guen reviewed the rules and rewards for the Path of Life and Death and explored the new privileges he gained as a World Lord. He concluded that the trial, the Heavenly Mountain rewards, and access to information and rare resources offered major opportunities, though he still had to wait tens of thousands of years for his first World Lord Qualification Battle.

• The Virtual Universe Company explained the Path of Life and Death's kill points, bonuses, resource rewards, mission access, trial conditions, and warning to keep Guen's route secret.
• Guen inspected the Second Treasury and realized the trial gave World Lords access to resources and treasures normally reserved for powerful Immortals.
• Guen reviewed the free World Lord allowances and learned that his first World Lord Qualification Battle was more than forty thousand years away.
• Guen considered the Heavenly Mountain rewards, including 100 billion points for passing the World Lord Level Original Tongtian Mountain.
• Moto regretted that Guen had missed the Domain Lord Level Tongtian Mountain reward, but Guen argued that exploring the universe could yield even greater opportunities.
• Guen decided that World Lord privileges, including access to information and rare treasury resources, were among the level's most important advantages.
