Chapter Summaries

Guen confronted Lixing Hou and another Tianqu Imperial Guard at the heart of the Qingluo Nest, seeking its treasures and treating the fight as a trial on his Life and Death Path. After Lixing Hou blocked Guen’s attack and revealed a refined secret technique, the two began testing each other’s strength.

• Lixing Hou dismissed his companion’s worries and argued that Guen could not be stronger than him, while the guards used the Qingluo Nest’s detection system to track Guen’s route.
• Guen emerged from a passage and attacked Lixing Hou, who blocked the strike with 7,200 linked flying shuttles.
• Guen recognized Lixing Hou’s telekinetic weapon and evaded his Yan Kong Luan Wu technique, judging that Lixing Hou had learned a top-tier Secret Method rather than created it.
• Lixing Hou grew wary of Guen’s unknown abilities and sent the shuttles after him, making half of them vanish into the void.

Guen used Lixing Hou’s shuttle formation to hone his movement technique while drawing the fight toward the Qingluo Nest’s orange-energy core. After Lixing Hou struck him with a hidden weapon, Guen unleashed a powerful illusion that left the Marquis trapped in a starry void as the Flame Star Behemoth swam toward the core.

• Guen dodged Lixing Hou’s 7,200 visible and hidden shuttles, using the deadly attacks to improve his Body Movement Technique.
• Lixing Hou secretly prepared a World Ring weapon as Guen approached the orange planet, intending to exploit the core’s energy and kill him.
• Guen warned Yanxing that he might not be able to recover the Xueshi Dream Crystal Fruit, but Yanxing trusted its inherited memories and prepared to enter the core.
• Guen summoned the Flame Star Behemoth, which pushed through the orange energy and swam toward the nest’s depths.
• Lixing Hou fired the purple weapon from his mouth, piercing Guen’s Silver Matter Armor and attacking his soul, while Guen revealed his fivefold amplitude and cast an illusion that trapped Lixing Hou in a silent starry sky.

Guen’s illusion trapped Lixing Hou, but a powerful Sky Wolf arrived and attacked him with its ice spear and Dongwo weapon. The Sky Wolf demanded that Guen release Lixing Hou, while Guen refused and prepared to fight.

• Guen’s Soul Palace carvings absorbed the violet attack, and he realized its power had nearly destroyed two thousand carvings.
• Guen used an illusion technique on Lixing Hou and began moving toward him, but an ice spear forced him to retreat.
• A high-level Marquis Immortal Sky Wolf appeared beside Lixing Hou and tried to wake him with its will-influencing cry.
• Guen recognized the Sky Wolf and assessed its toughness and Dongwo weapon as the two fought for control of the area.
• The Sky Wolf demanded that Guen dispel the illusion, but Guen told it to kill Lixing Hou and bring him over instead.
• Guen said he was saving the Sky Wolf’s life as a hazy world filled with towering trees formed around him.

Guen considered using Guqiong Divine Light to gain a decisive advantage, but learned that Baikou Hou had arrived and chose to retreat rather than risk a prolonged fight on Monster Race territory. As Guen escaped the orange planet aboard his F-class spacecraft with Yanxing and the treasure, Baikou Hou and Lixing Hou realized the ship carried a Flame Star Behemoth and pursued it with greedy intent.

• Guen prepared to fuse his World Projection with Guqiong Divine Light, despite the severe consciousness cost and the thirty-second limit.
• Yanxing warned Guen that a Tianqu Imperial Guard had contacted Baikou Hou, so Guen abandoned the fight and ordered Yanxing to leave the orange planet.
• Baikou Hou overwhelmed the planet's energy storm with his ice current, freeing Lixing Hou from Guen's illusion.
• Baikou Hou scolded Lixing Hou for hiding the Flame Star Behemoth and told him to prepare the Nine-Star Flower Mirror, though Lixing Hou had already used it.
• Guen's Silent Tungsten Mother spacecraft tore through the ice and escaped the nest passage, prompting Baikou Hou and Lixing Hou to recognize its F-class Metal and suspect the Flame Star Behemoth was aboard.

Guen raced through Qingluo Nest aboard Meixing Ship while the Demon Race gathered a force and an Energy Capture Device to trap him. As he weighed using a Fire God Source Crystal to escape, Lixing Hou discovered that Guen had released several World Lords, prompting the pursuers to target them too.

• Moto warned Guen that more than twenty-seven Demon Race immortals were waiting outside Qingluo Nest and that an Energy Capture Device could trap Meixing Ship.
• Guen asked what would happen if Meixing Ship took a close-range B-15 Fire God Source Crystal explosion, then accepted the danger of using one.
• Baikou Hou gathered immortals outside Qingluo Nest while Lixing Hou pursued Meixing Ship and interfered with it using his Immortal Divine Power.
• Lixing Hou noticed that Guen had released several World Lords, including one from the Demon Race, and suspected they were Soul Slaves.
• Baikou Hou ordered the Demon Race immortals inside Qingluo Nest to capture the World Lords, believing Guen would not abandon them.

The Monster Race’s Marquis Immortals trapped the Meixing Ship in Qingluo Nest’s scarlet storm and prepared to force its occupant out with soul attacks. As Guen struck down a pursuing One-Eyed Ape, the Fire God Source Crystal exploded, sending a red spatial tide through the nest.

• Shanlong Hou slowed the Meixing Ship with Time Variable Speed while Baikou Hou and other Marquis Immortals entered the scarlet storm to surround it.
• Baikou Hou shattered the Meixing Ship’s cannon blast and ordered the Monster Race immortals to attack its occupant with Void God Power.
• The ship’s hatch opened, revealing the Fire God Source Crystal and alarming the Monster Race immortals.
• Inside Qingluo Nest, Eyi stopped before the One-Eyed Ape, and Guen emerged from a broken World Ring to strike the immortal with an illusion.
• The Fire God Source Crystal exploded, and an irresistible red spatial tide swept through Qingluo Nest.

Guen enslaved Shilenuo during the Fire God Source Crystal blast, then returned to the Qingluo Nest and attacked the Monster Race Immortals scavenging the wreckage. Huanwu Hou fled toward the energy field’s edge and ordered the remaining Immortals to activate it against Guen.

• As the blast tore through the Qingluo Nest, Guen used the Guqiong Divine Light to break through Shilenuo’s resistance and enslave him.
• Guen put Shilenuo in his World Ring and raced toward the edge of the exploding nest.
• Huanwu Hou and the surviving Monster Race Immortals searched the wreckage for valuable materials while several of their comrades stayed back to guard the mechanical devices.
• Guen arrived with a torch and killed Monster Race Immortals as he moved through the spatial turbulence, making Huanwu Hou realize he was the being who had been aboard the spaceship.
• Huanwu Hou fled toward the energy field’s edge and ordered the Monster Race Immortals by the mechanical devices to activate the field and suppress Guen.

Guen killed Huanwu Hou and escaped Monster Race Territory after a battle that cost him the Meixing Ship and many resources. He entered the Dark Universe aboard Green Light, resolved to keep a lower profile, and changed course toward a distant region.

• Guen used his illusion domain and the Flame Star Behemoth to disorient Huanwu Hou and close in on him.
• Guen struck Huanwu Hou with the Torch of Burning Ashes, destroying his divine body, then collected his World Ring and escaped as the spatial turbulence intensified.
• A snow-white Sky Wolf in a distant palace learned that two disciples had died and swore revenge.
• Guen reached the Dark Universe aboard Green Light and told Moto that Qingluo Nest and the gathering Monster Race forces had made escape increasingly dangerous.
• Guen decided to avoid suspicious locations for a while and changed his route toward a region far from Monster Race Territory.

Guen recovered valuable resources from the battle and discovered a priceless drop of Still Water that contained the complete laws of Time Stasis. Meanwhile, King Cangbi confronted King Shixun over the deaths of Lixing Hou and Baikou Hou and left demanding an explanation.

• Moto gave Guen several World Rings containing the battle’s surviving spoils, and Guen found that the final ring held a drop of Still Water worth 300 million Hunyuan Units.
• Guen tested the Still Water, saw it nearly halt time across his Biological Spaceship, and stored it as a weapon-making material and cultivation aid.
• King Cangbi arrived in the Buqi Shijing Star Nation and confronted King Shixun about the deaths of Lixing Hou and Baikou Hou.
• King Shixun defended his star nation’s limited cooperation, and King Cangbi flew toward the Qingluo Nest after demanding an explanation.

• Guen resumed his travels disguised as a World Lord, winning the Moon Martial Ceremony and acquiring the auxiliary lifeform Tadutuling.

• Guen saved the Mona Race and received a complete Thousand Mile Light, then later revealed his strength to seize the Tree Spirit Holy Spring and was hunted by the Qianshu Race.
• Guen traded with the Yanji Race for a Secret Pattern weapon and left their territory, while Moto remained just short of evolving into an Intelligent Lifeform.
• Guen and Moto headed toward the Kaoluo Race’s territory, where Guen expected to find the Star Tower.

Guen waited in Kaoluo territory for an escort to the Star Tower and met King Langjue, a formidable human powerhouse. He boarded Langjue’s palace and relaxed in the Virtual Universe while Langjue went to collect the other geniuses.

• Guen and Moto observed the Kaoluo Race’s decline and discussed how the race had been subjugated as guardians of the Star Tower.
• King Langjue arrived and summoned Guen to his ice-crystal palace, the Ice-Sacrifice Mantises.
• Guen learned about Langjue’s power, his insect-beast legions, and the reasons the Kaoluo Race remained bound to the Star Tower.
• Langjue told Guen to rest or train while he went to collect the other geniuses.
• Guen entered the Virtual Universe to visit old friends and unwind after two eras of wandering.

Guen and the other geniuses arrived at the Star Tower, where King Langjue explained the rules and dangers of trying to claim it. Aogu felt an overwhelming summons from the tower and was left eager to enter.

• Guen met Feng Lin and Aogu, who thanked him for helping them escape the Monster Race's lair and told him a King-Level Immortal was investigating the survivors.
• King Langjue led the group into space, where they saw the Star Tower and the tens of thousands of lives gathered at its base.
• King Langjue warned the group not to interfere with others or fight, told them to stay within a thousand miles of him, and explained how human geniuses could join future expeditions inside the tower.
• Aogu was stunned by the Star Tower's beauty and felt its summons throughout his body as he followed the others toward an entrance.

Guen examined the many alien races gathered near the Star Tower and tried several ways to claim it, but the tower did not respond. Aogu then entered the Star Tower despite the risks, while Guen and Feng Lin remained outside, leaving its eventual master uncertain.

• Guen observed the alien races gathered near the Star Tower, including the Black Devour Race and the Ghost Tomb Race, while King Langjue assured everyone that all visitors had to follow the rules.
• Guen touched the Star Tower and tried to claim it using Telekinetic Power, blood, secret patterns, and the Solid Secret Pattern, but nothing affected it.
• Feng Lin received a call from Aogu, who declared that he was entering the Star Tower despite Feng Lin's unspoken objections.
• Aogu's true body entered the Star Tower, drawing little interest from the watching aliens, who assumed another reckless newcomer would meet a tragic end.
• After half a day, Guen left with King Langjue and other human-centered geniuses, while Feng Lin stayed behind to temper his will.

Guen learned that the Boxue Vine he encountered belonged to Lord of Black Lotus and received a Star World access device from Giant Sickle King. He searched the Star World for cultivation materials and useful treasures while listing his surplus items for barter.

• Giant Sickle King told Guen that the Boxue Vine followed Lord of Black Lotus and that powerful subordinates were likely in the Tiangetang secret realm.
• Guen asked Giant Sickle King for access to the Star World, and Giant Sickle King gave him a device to use and later return.
• Guen returned to his palace and entered the Star World, finding a simple network of text-based listings with delayed updates and no universal currency.
• Guen listed treasures he no longer needed and searched for materials for Yanxing’s Nine Realms Fire cultivation and for treasures that could help him.

Guen investigated the coveted Beast God Inheritance Token and learned about the Ancestor God Sect’s highest inheritance and the Eight Beast God Paths. He suspected that another mysterious beast treasure might share a connection with the Beast Gods, then turned to other listings in the Star World.

• Guen searched the Virtual Universe and learned that the Beast God Inheritance was the Ancestor God Sect’s highest form of inheritance, tied to eight paths that each fused two laws.
• Guen compared the Beast God Inheritance Token with the strange beast sealed in his crystal sphere and wondered whether the Monster Race and its revered ancestors were connected to the Beast Gods or the Ancestor God Sect.
• Guen examined the token’s seller’s demands: a method to claim the Star Tower and entry to a sealed, high-level Cosmic Secret Realm.
• Guen decided he could not afford the token and turned his attention to other listings, including a King-level Mechanical Puppet, a self-replenishing recovery stone, a deadly poison, and a crystal that could alter an Immortal’s God Kingdom.

Guen spent ten years gathering resources to cultivate six types of Nine Realms Fire to minor mastery, then used a listing for Baikou Hou’s bone to draw the Sky Wolf Race’s attention. King Cangbi ordered surveillance of the human encampment, but Guen had already left Kaoluo Race territory and was heading into distant space.

• Guen spent more than 120 million Hunyuan Units and sold most of his treasures to gather materials for six types of Nine Realms Fire, while the Flame Star Behemoth began cultivating them.
• Moto told Guen that King Cangbi had responded to the listing for Baikou Hou’s bone, and Guen decided to reveal his name without provoking a direct fight.
• King Cangbi learned that Guen was Tanshi’s disciple and ordered his followers to watch the human encampment for a Domain Lord.
• Guen left the Kaoluo Race territory before the Monster Race watchers could find him.

Guen, disguised as the Void Spirit Demon God, rescued Gen Yuan from three Meiling Immortals and tested his newly created secret technique, Dark Sink. Afterward, Guen and Gen Yuan continued toward Gongyu Sea, where Guen planned to visit Jihan Island and Master Ze.
