Chen Yuan watched the Human Race begin its war against the Black Mist Race on Nine Domains Continent, as Universe Kingdom Lord Rongshan and Venerable Yinlan fought to contain the enemy Venerables and the fleets bombarded the continent.

• Chen Yuan proposed heading for the Black Wing Tribe’s Holy Court, and Lishan urged him to choose a less dangerous target.

Chen Yuan deceived Lishan with a Time Phantom and secretly traveled to the Black Wing Tribe’s Holy Court to gather Origin Energy and military merit. After surveying the city’s enormous forces, he activated the Thousand Mist Light-Polishing Mirror and obliterated its non-Immortal inhabitants, leaving the Immortals alive in the sky.

• Chen Yuan activated the Mirror's Mist Light Sea, annihilating non-Immortals across the Holy City and drawing the fury of its 136 Immortals.

Chen Yuan hunted across Nine Domains Continent, amassing Origin Energy and military merits before secretly rejoining Lishan’s Guard Army. After arranging leave and leaving a phantom behind at the War Base, he set course for the Black Scale Tribe’s territory to continue hunting.

• Chen Yuan gained 260 million Origin Energy from the battle at the Black Wing Tribe’s Holy City and decided to keep gathering energy before advancing to World Lord.

• Chen Yuan returned unnoticed to Lishan’s Guard Army in Ten Thousand Feather City before his Time Phantom ran out of power.
• Chen Yuan suggested the Guard Army return to a War Base for a break, then left a phantom in his room so he could hunt alone.
• Chen Yuan chose the Black Scale Tribe’s territory as his next hunting ground, and the Origin Beginning Palace set course for it.

Chen Yuan attacked the Black Scale Tribe’s Holy City after confirming its Kings had returned to the front lines, using illusion techniques to kill its Immortals and harvesting its residents for Origin Energy. He left unaware that the Black Mist Race’s three Venerables and more than half its King Immortals had fallen, bringing the war close to its end.

• Chen Yuan avoided the Holy Cities for three months, destroyed thirteen Immortal-level cities and over a hundred World Lord-level cities, and gained 162 million Origin Energy.
• After learning from King Jiuzhen that the Black Mist Race’s Kings had returned to the battlefield, Chen Yuan targeted the Black Scale Tribe’s Holy City.

• Chen Yuan used his optimized illusion techniques to trap and kill the remaining Immortals, then departed in Origin Beginning Palace.
• The Black Mist Race’s three Venerables fell to Universe Kingdom Lord Rongshan and Venerable Yinlan, while more than half its King Immortals had already been slain.

Chen Yuan exchanged military merits for the Burning Heaven True Feather after winning a vast haul from the campaign, then learned that the Human Race had defeated the Black Mist Race. He harvested what remained in several alien cities before returning to cleanup duty, and the war was officially declared over a year and a half later.

• Chen Yuan tallied his gains, exchanged 10 trillion military merits for the Burning Heaven True Feather, and kept the rest in reserve.
• King Jiuzhen told Chen Yuan that Yin Lan and Rongshan had killed the Black Mist Race's three Venerables, while the Human Race defeated the alien Kings; the Chaos City Lord had stopped the Monster Race's reinforcements.
• Chen Yuan sent the Origin Beginning Palace to the Black Horn Race Holy City, where he refined the alien races still present but gained little because most had fled.
• Chen Yuan abandoned further harvesting as Human Race forces filled the cities, then led the Guard Army under his original identity to hunt scattered alien survivors and meet its military merit quota.
• After a year and a half of cleanup, Chen Yuan and the Guard Army received news that the war had completely ended.

After the war ended, Chen Yuan exchanged his military merits, gathered leads on the remaining Original Core materials, and returned to Rongshan Imperial Capital Planet. Seeking combat power he could use openly, he followed Aolona’s advice and decided to buy Zerg Hives.

• Chen Yuan exchanged his remaining military merits for 4 billion company points as the military exchange channels prepared to close.
• Irel bought Chuhua Source Dew from the Treasury, and Chen Yuan received replies from senior figures offering leads on the other Original Core materials.
• Chen Yuan and the Guard Army returned to Rongshan Imperial Capital Planet, where he sold his war spoils and optimized items for 10.3 billion Hunyuan Units.
• Chen Yuan sought Aolona’s advice on obtaining immediate King Level combat power, and she suggested buying a Zerg Hive.
• Chen Yuan realized that cultivating several World Lord Level Zerg Hives could give him powerful combat forces he could openly command.

Chen Yuan bought three high-quality World Lord Level Zerg Hives and easily enslaved their Mother Empresses, Ming Li, Sike'er, and You Die. After the three became sisters and explained their specialties, they gave Chen Yuan the resources and breakthrough chances they needed, leaving him to consider their cultivation plans.

• Chen Yuan bought three of the best World Lord Level Zerg Hives for 17 million Hunyuan Units and received them three days later.
• Chen Yuan used the Illusion Truth Secret Canon to enslave each Mother Empress and learned their names were Ming Li, Sike'er, and You Die.
• The Mother Empresses described the Zerg Warriors they bred, and You Die explained that she had once specialized in offense alongside sisters who covered defense and scouting.
• Chen Yuan decided the sisters' seniority would follow their ages, making Ming Li the eldest, You Die the second, and Sike'er the youngest.
• The three Mother Empresses listed their cultivation resources and chances of reaching Immortal level: Ming Li needed 3.76 billion Hunyuan Units for 13%, Sike'er needed 4.18 billion for 14%, and You Die needed 2.67 billion for 17%.

Chen Yuan arranged resources and Zerg legions for his three Mother Empresses, then met King Longjue to request Zerg corpses. The meeting ended with King Longjue reacting in shock to Chen Yuan’s demand for 33,000 units of World Lord Peak corpses.

• Chen Yuan agreed to fund the three Mother Empresses’ Immortal breakthroughs after realizing their cultivation costs were manageable, and tasked Irel with purchasing their resources.
• Chen Yuan assigned each Mother Empress one million Zerg King slots and ten million ordinary Zerg Warrior slots; You Die chose two complementary butterfly races, while Ming Li and Sike'er chose Shadow Mantis Kings and Heavy Blade Scorpion Kings.
• Chen Yuan exchanged points for the resources, arranged delivery to the Wulong Star Sector, and contacted its administrator, King Longjue, to request a meeting.
• King Longjue welcomed Chen Yuan at a lavish restaurant on Ganwu Continent, where Chen Yuan explained that he wanted to buy Zerg corpses for his enslaved Zerg Hive.
• Chen Yuan requested 33,000 units of Zerg corpses, each consisting of 100,000 corpses at the World Lord Peak level, and King Longjue’s expression changed in shock.

Chen Yuan arranged to buy 33,000 World Lord peak-level Zerg corpses from the Wulong Star Sector to cultivate his enslaved Zerg Hives. He arrived with Lishan and met King Longjue, who said he had resolved the approval issues and invited them into the palace.

• Chen Yuan asked King Longjue to secure approval for the purchase, promising to pay the full cost and arrive within half a year.
• King Longjue agreed to handle the joint approval process, then contacted the other people in charge of the Wulong Star Sector.
• Chen Yuan left with Lishan aboard the Origin Beginning Palace and explained that he had enslaved three World Lord-level Zerg Hives.
• The Origin Beginning Palace reached the Wulong Star Sector in half a year, surprising Lishan with its speed.
• King Longjue welcomed Chen Yuan, said he had settled the approval difficulties, and escorted him and Lishan into the palace.

Chen Yuan paid for thirty-three thousand units of high-quality Zerg corpses and began inspecting them in the Wulong Star Sector. Meanwhile, an enemy learned that Chen Yuan was isolated from Immortal protection and ordered an assassination, which reached the black-scaled operative Number 6.

• King Longjue gave Chen Yuan fifty thousand tokens for selecting excellent Zerg corpses and a World Ring pass for Junk Mountain.
• Chen Yuan paid 330 million Hunyuan Units and entered the Wulong Star Sector with two guides, while Lishan stayed behind.
• Chen Yuan convinced the guides to inspect the Zerg corpses at near-light speed, shortening the route to about a year.
• A green-skinned man told the Golden-Robed Man that Chen Yuan, number one on the Assassination List, was selecting corpses without Immortal protection.
• The Golden-Robed Man ordered Number 6 to assassinate Chen Yuan, and the black-scaled operative received the mission.

Chen Yuan discovered that Kosier, an Alien Race assassin, had approached him while he inspected Zerg corpses. Kosier attacked the two White Robe men, but Chen Yuan used Mind Control to stop him, leaving the assassin under his control.

• Chen Yuan inspected Zerg corpses while his three Mother Empresses produced more than 700,000 Zerg King Warriors.
• Kosier grew desperate as his assassination mission neared its deadline and flew toward Chen Yuan and the two White Robe men.
• Chen Yuan recognized Kosier as an Alien Race assassin after the White Robe men identified him as their maintenance-department colleague.
• Kosier pretended to come repair equipment, destroyed nearby surveillance equipment, and attacked the two White Robe men.
• Chen Yuan used Mind Control to stop Kosier's strike and told the shaken White Robe men that he had prevented their deaths.

Chen Yuan captured Kosier, a Zerg-controlled assassin who had infiltrated the Wulong Star Sector, and the supervisors gathered to investigate the attempted assassination. King Mozhu challenged the evidence and accused Chen Yuan of staging the attack, leaving the case unresolved.

• Chen Yuan questioned Kosier under mental control, and Kosier confessed to being a Zerg assassin who planned to kill his colleagues and attack Chen Yuan.
• Chen Yuan assured the two White Robes that Kosier would remain under control, and King Longjue arrived with Lishan to review the incident.
• King Longjue confirmed the witnesses and damaged surveillance equipment supported the account, then proposed compensating Chen Yuan with the remaining seventeen thousand units of Zerg corpses.
• The other supervisors agreed to the compensation, but King Mozhu objected and claimed Kosier’s confession could not prove anything because Chen Yuan appeared to have enslaved him.
• King Mozhu accused Chen Yuan of staging the assassination and demanded an explanation for how he had supposedly enslaved an already enslaved assassin.

Chen Yuan refused to hand Kosier over to King Mozhu and stood his ground as the Wulong Star Sector manager attacked him. He survived King Mozhu’s full-strength strike, revealing silver-white Battle Armor, a miniature palace, and an army of more than seven hundred thousand Zerg warriors.

• King Mozhu accused Chen Yuan of secretly enslaving Kosier and demanded to inspect his soul memories, but Chen Yuan refused.
• Chen Yuan insulted King Mozhu, who attacked him with an Immortal Divine Power palm before the other managers blocked the blow.
• King Mozhu warned Chen Yuan to remain humble, but Chen Yuan mocked his reliance on Venerable Shihuo and rejected Lishan and King Longjue’s advice to retreat.
• Chen Yuan challenged King Mozhu to attack, and King Mozhu unleashed a full-strength divine-power finger despite the managers’ warnings.
• Chen Yuan emerged unharmed from the explosion in silver-white Battle Armor, with a miniature palace above him and more than seven hundred thousand Zerg King Warriors behind him.

Chen Yuan revealed his 700,000-strong Zerg King Legion and forced King Mozhu to back down, then secured compensation from him and the Wulong Star Sector. After arriving at his palace residence, Chen Yuan contacted his senior sister, and a Universe Venerable suddenly appeared.

• Chen Yuan’s Zerg Legion matched King Mozhu’s attack, and King Mozhu abandoned his threats after realizing he could not safely challenge Chen Yuan.
• King Longjue mediated, and King Mozhu apologized, agreed to cover the destroyed goods, and promised Chen Yuan 200,000 units of peak World Lord-level Zerg corpses.
• King Longjue arranged an additional 50,000 units of Zerg corpses as compensation for the assassination incident, with delivery promised within a month.
• Chen Yuan returned to the star sector headquarters and accepted a palace residence while King Mozhu arranged to deliver his compensation within half a year.
• Chen Yuan emailed his senior sister his location, and a powerful pressure descended, prompting King Longjue to exclaim that a Universe Venerable had arrived.

Chen Yuan met with Venerable Yinlan, who uncovered an alien infiltration network and delivered the Lanhua Shining Crystal he had requested. After she left, Chen Yuan received cultivation resources for the three Mother Empresses and set out for Junk Mountain to search for General Armor fragments.

• Venerable Yinlan arrived and told King Longjue to leave so she could speak privately with Chen Yuan.
• Venerable Yinlan recognized Chen Yuan as the Silver-Armored Man and praised his strength after hearing about his battle at Junk Mountain.
• Venerable Yinlan examined Kosier and the flame Immortal God in his Internal World, learned the alien organizations' intelligence, and sealed both of them.
• Chen Yuan discovered that Venerable Yinlan could not hear his explanation of the Fetal Breath Method, then received the Lanhua Shining Crystal from her as an advance payment for helping her.
• A Virtual Universe Company employee delivered ten billion worth of cultivation resources, which Chen Yuan gave to Ming Li, Sike'er, and You Die.
• Chen Yuan left the palace for Junk Mountain to use King Longjue's treasure-hunting voucher and search for General Armor fragments.

Chen Yuan searched Junk Mountain for General Armor fragments to improve the Heavenly Radiance Battle Suit’s Soldier Armor Power. After finding a fragment and discovering a way to sense others from afar, he set off toward the next one.

• Chen Yuan entered the Wulong Star Sector with two White Robe guides and used Mind Scan to search different coordinates for General Armor fragments.
• After sixty-three cosmic shuttles, Chen Yuan sensed a distant fragment’s call and realized the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual let him detect derivatives of the Tribulation Armor.
• Chen Yuan searched a Junk Mountain and found thirteen Soldier Armor fragments and one General Armor fragment.
• Chen Yuan collected the General Armor data, which let the system raise Soldier Armor Power’s amplification to 3,350 times World Lord Power.
• Chen Yuan combined Mind Scan with his fragment-sensing ability to develop Directional Scan, then headed toward another fragment seven billion kilometers away.

Chen Yuan collected all the General Armor fragments and several King Armor fragments, then prepared to have the system optimize Sky Radiance and Soldier Armor Power. He also received a Golden Horned Boundary Stone from Rongshan as a gift, while Nine-Condensation Abyss Soil remained the sole missing material for his Original Core.

• After a year and a half of searching, Chen Yuan sensed a distant Junk Mountain and found two General Armor fragments and a Shattered Blade, which the system identified as a King Armor fragment.
• Chen Yuan found two more King Armor fragments and increased his General Armor collection to more than seventy fragments.
• Rongshan told Chen Yuan that he had obtained a Golden Horned Boundary Stone from Venerable Three-Eyes and gave it to him as a meeting gift.
• Chen Yuan noted that he had gathered eight of the Original Core's main materials, with only Nine-Condensation Abyss Soil still missing.
• Three and a half years after beginning his search, Chen Yuan collected all the General Armor fragments and seven King Armor fragments, then ordered the system to analyze the General Armor data and optimize Sky Radiance and Soldier Armor Power.

Chen Yuan decided to leave the Wulong Star Sector after placing Sky Radiance in optimization and testing the General Armor’s abilities. He accepted compensation from King Longjue and departed with Lishan for the Rongshan Universe Kingdom, where he planned to cultivate and optimize his equipment.

• Chen Yuan tested the General Armor, learning that its defense was limited and that his Domain Lord strength could only draw out about 1,500 times World Lord power.
• Chen Yuan reviewed his unfinished secret-method training and planned to study the Law of Time and optimize his equipment before breaking through to World Lord Level.
• Chen Yuan chose to end his Junk Mountain treasure hunt and told the White Robes he would leave the Wulong Star Sector.
• King Longjue met Chen Yuan, gave him compensation that included King Mozhu’s share, and saw him off.
• Lishan joined Chen Yuan, and the two departed in the Origin Beginning Palace for the Rongshan Imperial Capital Planet.
