Chapter Summaries

Luo Feng completed the Nine Prisons Tower’s trial and learned that Chen Yuan had arranged for him to receive the Star Tower. After Luo Feng returned to Chen Yuan’s residence, Chen Yuan revealed that Mountain Sitting Guest, the Progenitor who created Earth, was their teacher and that Luo Feng’s Star Tower ceremony could begin.

• Luo Feng revealed that he had reached High-Level Venerable Will and credited his rapid progress to Primordial Spirit Sword Intent and the Nine Prisons Tower’s time acceleration.
• Chen Yuan offered to teach Luo Feng the later levels of Primordial Spirit Sword Intent when his Will grew strong enough, then told him the promised opportunity was the Star Tower.
• Luo Feng learned that Chen Yuan had possessed the Star Tower all along and had secured the Human Race leaders’ agreement to keep it in his care.
• Luo Feng left the Outer-Domain Battlefield using Divine Kingdom Teleportation and met Chen Yuan at his residence in Wuchen Spacetime.
• Chen Yuan brought Luo Feng into the Star Tower and introduced Mountain Sitting Guest as their teacher and the Progenitor who created Earth.

Luo Feng learned that Mountain Sitting Guest had prepared him to inherit the Star Tower, then completed its recognition ritual and joined Mountain Sitting Guest’s lineage. Chen Yuan welcomed him as a junior brother with gifts, ending by revealing that the second gift was Nine Nether Sea avatar material.

• Mountain Sitting Guest explained that he had created the Star Tower and cultivated Luo Feng as its intended inheritor, while Chen Yuan had temporarily controlled it after meeting its requirements.
• Chen Yuan gave Luo Feng the Tower Bead, and Luo Feng chose the faster recognition method, enduring the Star Tower’s will impact while studying the laws.
• Chen Yuan left to continue sorting through his laws, and Luo Feng completed the Star Tower’s recognition ritual after 120 years.
• Luo Feng greeted Mountain Sitting Guest as his master and Chen Yuan as his Third Senior Brother, receiving the Star Preaching Map from Mountain Sitting Guest.
• Chen Yuan gave Luo Feng the complete Primordial Spirit Sword Intent and then presented a vessel of Nine Nether Sea as material for a World Lord-level avatar.

Chen Yuan gave Luo Feng a Nine Nether Sea clone material and the reforged Tribulation Armor, then reclaimed the Tower Bead while Luo Feng stayed with Mountain Sitting Guest to hear about Ice Prison Star. Chen Yuan returned to cultivating the laws and, sixty years later, broke through to Universe Venerable.

• Chen Yuan explained that the Nine Nether Sea was a huge flesh-and-blood lifeform whose clone could cultivate the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, and Luo Feng accepted the seawater for his Third Clone.
• Chen Yuan gave Luo Feng the reforged Tribulation Armor, which could grant strength and unlock greater power as Luo Feng grew stronger.
• Chen Yuan explained that Luo Feng could not yet activate the Star Tower, reclaimed the Tower Bead, and left Luo Feng with Mountain Sitting Guest, who began instructing him to visit Ice Prison Star.
• Chen Yuan resumed sorting through the laws and cultivated for sixty years without noticing when Luo Feng left.
• Chen Yuan opened his eyes beneath a five-colored vortex and announced that he had broken through to Universe Venerable.

Chen Yuan broke through to Universe Venerable and used his control over the Origin Law to extend its descent, raising his enormous Nether Sea Clone’s Divine Body conversion to 48%. After reviewing his improved strength and system changes, he discovered that the second volume of the Origin Beginning Life Method had become available: Hand of Origin Beginning.

• Chen Yuan completed his laws, comprehended Retrospection, and broke through to Universe Venerable, summoning the Origin Law of Time over his God Kingdom.
• Chen Yuan revealed his God Kingdom so the Origin Law could find it, and his clones began transforming their Divine Bodies while the Nether Sea Clone absorbed the descending power.
• Chen Yuan seized control of the Origin Law and extended its descent within the universe’s limits, allowing the Nether Sea Clone’s conversion rate to reach 48% before the law vanished.
• Chaos City Lord recognized Chen Yuan’s breakthrough and judged that his strength now approached that of a true Universe Supreme Being.
• Chen Yuan returned to the Origin Beginning Palace, reviewed his upgraded system and strength, and learned that the second volume of the Origin Beginning Life Method was Hand of Origin Beginning.

After unlocking the Hand of Origin Beginning, Chen Yuan discovered it could convert matter into Origin Energy and create materials, though the process wasted half the energy. He tested it in his God Kingdom, where the lost energy nourished the Nine Nether Sea, and found that improving the technique reduced conversion losses.

• Chen Yuan unlocked the Hand of Origin Beginning after reaching Universe Venerable and began cultivating it using his mastery of the Eye of Origin Beginning.
• He converted Void Chaos Gold into Origin Energy and found that only half its expected value entered his reserves, while creating the metal cost even more energy.
• Chen Yuan reasoned that conversion losses could be contained in an isolated space and chose his God Kingdom as a place to test the idea.
• Using his Nether Sea Clone, Chen Yuan confirmed that lost energy remained inside the God Kingdom but had degraded into energy that could nourish the Nine Nether Sea rather than serve as optimization reserves.
• Chen Yuan cultivated the Hand of Origin Beginning in the God Kingdom, and when its proficiency exceeded ten percent, he discovered that its conversion loss ratio had fallen.

Chen Yuan discovered that improving the Hand of Origin Beginning reduced its conversion losses, then devised a way to raise its proficiency by processing the immense stores of wreckage in the Nine Great Trash Star Sectors. After arranging to buy the wreckage, he assigned the Abyss Whale Clone to study Law Fusion through its innate secret method, Nine Splendor Abyss Light.

• Chen Yuan found that each 10% increase in the Hand of Origin Beginning's proficiency reduced energy conversion loss by 5%, and learned that creating and reconverting matter did not grant proficiency.
• Chen Yuan realized he could use abundant low-value materials to cultivate the secret method and decided to buy the wreckage stored in the Nine Great Trash Star Sectors.
• Chen Yuan offered one Peak Domain Treasure for the wreckage, and Giant Axe agreed to notify the Five Great Forces and arrange for it to be gathered.
• Lord of Darkness and Chaos City Lord questioned Chen Yuan's purchase, and he assured them the wreckage would be valuable to him before arranging to collect it himself.
• Chen Yuan continued training the Hand of Origin Beginning with ordinary materials while preparing the Abyss Whale Clone to analyze Nine Splendor Abyss Light and study Law Fusion.

Chen Yuan left the Primal Secret Realm to collect the wreckage gathered in Wulong Star Sector and cultivate the Hand of Origin Beginning. After processing the first batch, he completed the secret method’s second layer, finished converting his Nine Nether Sea Divine Body, and amassed over one quadrillion Origin Energy.

• Chen Yuan checked the race’s progress collecting wreckage, then optimized the Origin Beginning Palace and prepared to leave the Primal Secret Realm.
• Chen Yuan arrived in Wulong Star Sector and summoned its managers, who sent King Longjue to guide him to the warehouses.
• Chen Yuan collected the World Rings from all thirteen warehouses and brought their wreckage into his God Kingdom.
• Chen Yuan used his Nether Sea Clone and the Hand of Origin Beginning to convert the wreckage over ten years of accelerated time.
• Chen Yuan completed the Hand of Origin Beginning’s second layer, reached 1.05% of its third layer, finished converting the Nine Nether Sea Divine Body, and accumulated 1.18 quadrillion Origin Energy.

Chen Yuan collected the wreckage from all Nine Great Star Sectors and converted it into Origin Energy, then used his reserves to optimize four Supreme Treasures and upgrade his Virtual Universe with Irel. The upgrade greatly accelerated the universe’s growth and Irel’s evolution, leaving her on track to become a Universe Master within about five hundred years.

• Chen Yuan collected the remaining wreckage from all Nine Great Star Sectors and converted it into nearly 30,000 trillion Origin Energy.
• Chen Yuan planned to optimize the Azure Firmament Sword to Void Level 7 and Origin Beginning Palace, the Ring of the Original Realm, and the Polishing Light Mirror to Void Level 1.
• Chen Yuan retrieved the World Rings from the Primal Secret Realm managers and returned them to the managers rather than destroying them.
• Chen Yuan and Irel devoted their computing power to upgrading the Virtual Universe Origin and restructuring the virtual world according to a void-level secret method.
• After the upgrade, Irel reported that the Virtual Universe grew ten times faster and that her Self-Evolution had accelerated a hundredfold, putting her on course to become a Universe Master in about five hundred years.

Chen Yuan discussed the Virtual Universe’s developing abilities and his plans to study the Soul Great Dao’s Illusion and Reality branches. Luo Feng then contacted him from Ice Prison Star and asked him to come rescue him.

• Chen Yuan explained that he was progressing toward Universe Lord more slowly than Irel, whose Virtual Universe-assisted comprehension could lead to her breakthrough within five hundred years.
• Irel described how the Virtual Universe could create Illusionary Avatars, and Chen Yuan realized that Optimization Space could instead let him teleport directly anywhere within its coverage.
• Chen Yuan identified Illusion and Reality as complete branches of the Soul Great Dao and said he wanted to use them as references to research True Body Etherealization.
• Irel said the Virtual Universe would reach its next stage in about two hundred years, after which it could be officially activated.
• Luo Feng contacted Chen Yuan from Ice Prison Star, explained that he had not gathered enough number plates to leave, and asked Chen Yuan to rescue him.

Luo Feng asked Chen Yuan to rescue him from Ice Prison after Sky Wolf threatened to expose him, and Chen Yuan assured him he would be safe. Chen Yuan arrived as Lord of Sky Wolf tried to kill Luo Feng, restrained him with a powerful domain, and confronted him while protecting Luo Feng.

• Luo Feng told Chen Yuan that Sky Wolf might reveal his identity to the Monster Race and asked whether Chen Yuan could face Lord of Sky Wolf.
• Chen Yuan reviewed the upgrades to his treasures, then met Mountain Sitting Guest near Ice Prison Star and discussed Luo Feng’s future training and a plan to recruit Craftsman God.
• Chen Yuan agreed to deliver the fourth Heaven Soul Crystal to Craftsman God Star and persuaded Mountain Sitting Guest to accept Craftsman God as a registered disciple.
• Mountain Sitting Guest arranged for Luo Feng’s release, but Lord of Sky Wolf trapped him in space and prepared to kill him.
• Chen Yuan’s multicolored domain suppressed Lord of Sky Wolf, destroyed the white Sky Wolf, and let Chen Yuan confront Lord of Sky Wolf while standing over him.

Chen Yuan suppressed Lord of Sky Wolf and demanded a Peak Treasure as ransom, while Dream Demon Ancestor learned that Chen Yuan possessed another Supreme Treasure. Dream Demon Ancestor agreed to negotiate, but Chen Yuan made him wait, leaving the furious ancestor unable to secure Lord of Sky Wolf’s release.

• Luo Feng and the Blue-Purple Doukou Venerables watched in shock as Chen Yuan pinned Lord of Sky Wolf beneath his foot.
• Lord of Sky Wolf recognized Chen Yuan as the one who had killed Universe Lords from the three races and pleaded for his life.
• Lord of Sky Wolf reported to Dream Demon Ancestor that Chen Yuan had captured him, taken Sky Wolf Palace, and demanded a Peak Treasure for his release.
• Dream Demon Ancestor realized Chen Yuan’s multicolored domain treasure was likely a Supreme Treasure and struggled over whether to ransom Lord of Sky Wolf.
• Dream Demon Ancestor agreed to pay a Peak Treasure and asked to arrange an exchange, but Lord of Sky Wolf said Chen Yuan was busy and would negotiate later.
• Dream Demon Ancestor roared Chen Yuan’s name in fury.

Chen Yuan left the Wuhua Secret Realm with Luo Feng and arranged for him to pursue Beast God inheritance at the Ancestor God Cult. After Luo Feng’s strength drew attention across the Virtual Universe Company, Chen Yuan sent him to await the Ancestor God Cult’s envoy while he departed to prepare Luo Feng’s next trial and seek Craftsman God.

• Chen Yuan decided to spare Lord of Sky Wolf and keep his power concealed while planning to recruit Craftsman God to supply the Human Race with Supreme Treasures.
• Chen Yuan thanked the Blue-Purple Doukou Venerables, collected Luo Feng in Origin Beginning Palace, and asked where he planned to go next.
• Luo Feng said he intended to cultivate at the Ancestor God Cult, and Chen Yuan urged him to give his earth-and-space Beast God Inheritance Token to Venerable Zhen Yan and seek a Gold-Space token for himself.
• Luo Feng challenged the Heavenly Bridge, passed its twentieth level, and crushed Primal Heavenly Mountain, prompting Chaos City Lord to contact him and approve the transfer of his inheritance token.
• The race approved Luo Feng’s Beast God Inheritance Token as Origin Beginning Palace reached the Primal Secret Realm, and Chen Yuan told him to await the Ancestor God Cult’s envoy.
• Chen Yuan departed to prepare the trial for Luo Feng’s fourth Heaven Soul Crystal and told Luo Feng to cultivate until he became Immortal.

Chen Yuan traveled to Craftsman God Star to meet Craftsman God, correct his treasure-refining methods, and carry out Mountain Sitting Guest’s instructions. After arranging a future trial for Luo Feng, Chen Yuan invited Craftsman God to join the Human Race, leaving him stunned by Chen Yuan’s claim that Peak Treasures were low-end work.

• Chen Yuan found Craftsman God refining a treasure and waited until the work was complete before pointing out flaws that had kept it from reaching Peak Treasure quality.
• Craftsman God recognized Chen Yuan as the Lord of Origin Beginning, then believed his claim that he was Mountain Sitting Guest’s disciple after Chen Yuan revealed their private history.
• Chen Yuan gave Craftsman God the Black Metal Plate and instructed him to send Chen Yuan’s junior brother into the Starry Sky Behemoth Ancestral Land after he retrieved it.
• Craftsman God agreed to follow Mountain Sitting Guest’s instructions, and Chen Yuan asked him to join the Human Race as a treasure refiner.
• Chen Yuan said he wanted Craftsman God to make treasures because he considered Peak Treasures low-end, leaving Craftsman God bewildered.

Chen Yuan persuaded Craftsman God to join the Human Race by demonstrating his Supreme Treasures and promising to teach him treasure refining and arrange for Mountain Sitting Guest to take him as a disciple. Craftsman God became Mountain Sitting Guest’s registered disciple and agreed to remain at Craftsman God Star while keeping his allegiance secret.

• Craftsman God doubted Chen Yuan’s claims about refining Supreme Treasures, so Chen Yuan displayed eight Supreme Treasures and a secret technique powerful enough to summon Law Chains.
• Chen Yuan offered to help Craftsman God improve his Treasure Refining Technique and asked Mountain Sitting Guest to accept him as a registered disciple.
• Chen Yuan brought Craftsman God’s Divine Power Avatar to the Star Tower, where Craftsman God met Mountain Sitting Guest and was accepted into his school.
• Mountain Sitting Guest told Craftsman God to learn treasure refining from Chen Yuan, and the two disciples settled their order of seniority.
• Chen Yuan told Craftsman God to keep his Human Race membership secret, remain at Craftsman God Star, and prepare for his fourth Junior Brother’s trial.

Chen Yuan introduced the Craftsman God to his upgraded Virtual Universe, where the craftsman refined a Top-grade Supreme Treasure and learned that the space could accelerate time ten thousandfold. After Chen Yuan identified flaws in the refinement, he prepared to bring the Craftsman God before the Human Race’s upper echelons to discuss his joining them.

• Chen Yuan gave the Craftsman God an Auxiliary Optical Brain and explained that his private Virtual Universe could provide unlimited practice refining Supreme Treasures.
• The Craftsman God tested the Cultivation Space and successfully simulated his refining tools and materials, then spent more than three thousand years refining a Top-grade Supreme Treasure.
• The Craftsman God learned that only a little over a hundred days had passed outside and agreed to keep serving the Human Race while prioritizing its members.
• Chen Yuan spent several years explaining the flaws in the Craftsman God's refinement and then invited him to meet the Human Race's upper echelons.
• Chen Yuan revealed that Founder of the Giant Axe had replied with surprise, asking what he meant by having won over the Craftsman God.

Chen Yuan arranged for Craftsman God to join the Human Race as an autonomous treasure-forging guest elder, then guided him to forge a level-eight Peak Treasure. After Chen Yuan's Virtual Universe Secret Method reached a new level, he began replacing Original Ancestor's Virtual Universe, and Original Ancestor discovered a strange trace of illusion power in Chen Yuan's universe.

• Chen Yuan introduced Craftsman God to the Human Race's leaders, who agreed he could forge Supreme Treasures without taking part in battles or other duties.
• Giant Axe announced Craftsman God's membership at a confidential meeting and set the terms for future treasure commissions.
• Chen Yuan guided Craftsman God in the Cultivation Space for eighty years, helping him break through and forge a level-eight Peak Treasure.
• Chen Yuan told Craftsman God he planned to replace the Human Race's Virtual Universe and later explained the plan to Original Ancestor.
• Chen Yuan and Original Ancestor began merging their Virtual Universe Origins so Irel could take over the existing universe's operations.
• Original Ancestor sensed an unfamiliar trace of illusion power within Chen Yuan's Virtual Universe Origin.

Chen Yuan revealed that his optimized Virtual Universe contained a trace of the Power of Illusion, giving Original Ancestor a possible new path to study and perhaps a way to escape the Primal Universe's suppression. Original Ancestor began comprehending the power while Irel continued taking over his Virtual Universe, with the process expected to take thirty years.

• Original Ancestor asked Chen Yuan about the Power of Illusion in the Virtual Universe, and Chen Yuan explained that it came from his talent and information from a higher level.
• Chen Yuan confirmed that the Ancient Civilization still existed beyond the Universe Ocean and that East Emperor and Purple Moon had gone there, though Supreme Rules prevented him from revealing more.
• Original Ancestor deduced that the Virtual Universe's ultimate form could be an illusory world embedded in reality, and Chen Yuan agreed to provide him with information about the Power of Illusion.
• Original Ancestor hoped that mastering the Power of Illusion could break the Primal Universe's suppression, and Chen Yuan encouraged him to study it during origin fusion.
• Irel told Chen Yuan that taking over Original Ancestor's Virtual Universe would take thirty years and that the Cultivation Spaces remained functional; Original Ancestor then devoted himself to comprehension.

Chen Yuan and the Original Ancestor separated their Virtual Universe Origins, allowing both universes to resume growing. After examining the activated Virtual Universe, Chen Yuan discovered that the Primal Universe had a finite capacity to absorb Origin Energy and realized that his own extraction of it could bring about an early Great Destruction.

• Chen Yuan awakened the Original Ancestor and explained that the Power of Illusion in the Virtual Universe Secret Method was incomplete because the method could not yet support greater power.
• Chen Yuan and the Original Ancestor separated their fused Virtual Universe Origins, and the Original Ancestor gave Chen Yuan access to his Terminal Core's computing power.
• The Original Ancestor received Chen Yuan's information about the Power of Illusion and vanished to resume his study, while Chen Yuan returned to Thunder Island and informed the Virtual Universe Company decision-makers and Founder of the Giant Axe that the replacement was complete.
• Chen Yuan sensed that his Virtual Universe covered more than twelve trillion light-years and discovered that much of the Primal Universe was empty Dark Void Zone.
• Chen Yuan concluded that the Primal Universe's Origin Energy depended on its rate of absorption and that his continued extraction could hasten its decline and bring the Great Destruction early.
• Chen Yuan considered finding another target to draw Origin Energy from and wondered whether he could exploit the Primal Universe's own energy absorption.

Chen Yuan discovered that the Hand of Origin Beginning could transform Chaos Currents into Origin Energy, giving him a path to grow without relying solely on the Primal Universe. He then revealed the Cultivation Space to Human Race leaders, demonstrating its ability to perfectly simulate matter, laws, and all fifty-two Chaos Steles, and proposed how its limited spaces should be allocated.

• Chen Yuan used the Hand of Origin Beginning through his Nether Sea Clone to transform Chaos Currents, finding that the method worked but was initially far less efficient than drawing energy from the Primal Universe.
• Chen Yuan decided to prioritize improving the Ring of the Original Realm and ran a simulation preview before the Human Race leaders arrived at his palace.
• Chen Yuan confirmed to Giant Axe and the others that his Virtual Universe had replaced the Original Ancestor Universe, then brought them into a new plane he called the Cultivation Space.
• Chen Yuan explained that the Cultivation Space could simulate matter and laws, support up to ten thousand times time acceleration, and had enabled Craftsman God to improve his treasure-refining skills.
• Chen Yuan showed the leaders perfectly simulated versions of all fifty-two Chaos Steles and proposed allocating the limited Cultivation Spaces among Human Race Universe Masters, Craftsman God, and the Five Factions.

Chen Yuan expanded the Virtual Universe, concealed his role in its replacement, and discovered he could teleport anywhere within its coverage but could not locate the Primal Stars. After Irel revealed that the Monster Race had sent a message about Lord of Sky Wolf, Chen Yuan appeared before Lord of Sky Wolf and Dream Demon Ancestor with the Star Tower.

• Chen Yuan asked Giant Axe and the other Human Race leaders to keep the Virtual Universe replacement secret and have the Virtual Universe analyze rare treasures.
• Giant Axe announced the Virtual Universe upgrades while attributing them to Original Ancestor, and Chen Yuan discovered he could teleport anywhere within the network’s range.
• Irel told Chen Yuan that Monster Race infiltrators had deliberately exposed themselves to ask when he would release Lord of Sky Wolf.
• Dream Demon Ancestor grew irritated as Lord of Sky Wolf worried that Chen Yuan had forgotten their ransom agreement.
• Chen Yuan appeared at Dream Demon Ancestor’s palace holding the Star Tower and told the two Monster Race members to come to him.
