Chapter Summaries

Lin Chenxing captured the Bug Race Mother Emperor with his illusion technique and shared the remaining bugs with Inbaier. Meanwhile, leaked information about Lin Chenxing’s whereabouts prompted the Monster Race and a Jiayu Empire immortal to dispatch forces to intercept and kill him.

• Lin Chenxing trapped the Mother Emperor in layered Red Dust Wind Dust illusions until she fell asleep, causing nearly all her bugs to sleep as well.
• Lin Chenxing collected the Mother Emperor and let Inbaier claim the sleeping bugs, and the two began dividing their spoils.

Lin Chenxing and Inbaier divided the Bug Race Mother Emperor’s hoard, and Lin Chenxing discovered several valuable treasures, including a Beast God Inheritance Token and a strange fruit-bearing plant. Inbaier’s share made him vastly richer, but Lin Chenxing’s strength kept him from acting on thoughts of betrayal.

• Inbaier let Lin Chenxing choose first because Lin Chenxing had played the greater role in defeating the Mother Emperor and had shown a technique Inbaier could not resist.

Lin Chenxing left the Smoke Saint Secret Realm while Inbaier returned to the Guardian Palace, where he uncovered spies and a likely ambush. Lin Chenxing headed for the Human-Bug Race border to test whether the unusual plant could help him build an army that rivaled the Bug Race’s.

• Lin Chenxing told Inbaier he would skip the Guardian Palace, warned him to be cautious, and entrusted the nine captives to him until an escort arrived.

• Lin Chenxing traveled toward the Human-Bug Race border and studied Lin Li’s experimental data while testing the unusual plant.

Lin Chenxing settled on a mineral planet in a contested region between the Human Race and the Bug Race, joining the battle while hoping to create powerful Plant Beasts and find a breakthrough through combat. He planted an unusual species and began transforming the planet with rain and lightning.

• Lin Chenxing arrived at the Broken Galaxy, a ruined star system on the Human Race and Bug Race border, and chose a mineral planet near the battlefield as his base.
• Lin Chenxing’s application to join the battle was approved, with the condition that he would provide support once he created a Plant Beast with at least Domain Lord-level strength.

• Lin Chenxing used his understanding of the Wood of Water Laws to summon rain and lightning, beginning to transform the planet’s environment.

Lin Chenxing studied how a special plant produced Strange Beasts with Secret Patterns, then killed a Bug Race squad that arrived to investigate the planet. He left the spaceship’s wreck beside the plant, calling the dead bugs nutrients for his experiment.

• Lin Chenxing ripened the special plant’s fruit and watched it become a Domain Lord-level Strange Beast that guarded the plant.

• One of Lin Chenxing’s clones appeared beside the wreck and said the plant would benefit from the bugs’ nutrients.

Lin Chenxing investigated a special plant whose Law Secret Patterns appeared to form a Beast God Diagram, possibly revealing secrets of the Wood, Space Beast God and Starry Sky Behemoths. When the plant produced an Immortal Strange Beast, its creatures attacked him, and he destroyed all but the Immortal one.

After more than three hundred years, his Water Clone successfully created a fish with a Secret Pattern that made it swim faster.

• Lin Chenxing completed at least 90% of the Beast God Diagram and found that the plant’s fruits had stopped producing new Secret Patterns before reverting to sparse patterns and Planetary Level Strange Beasts.

• Lin Chenxing steadily expanded Human territory while Marquis Oulian’s forces stayed quiet, then kept his distance as his troops pushed into the Bug Race’s final star system.

• Lin Chenxing pursued the immortals through his domain and cut down the bugs as he tried to prevent their escape.

Lin Chenxing slaughtered the Bug Race immortals and trapped the Monster Race Marquises and Marquis Oulian inside the Sky Fire Domain, while his clones stopped their army from reaching the battlefield. After two King-Rank immortals arrived and broke the domain, Lin Chenxing evaded their attacks and prepared to fight them.

• Lin Chenxing wounded a Monster Race immortal, then used the resulting confusion to kill the Bug Race immortals and leave the Monster Race Marquises exposed.

Ten thousand years after his battle with two King-Ranks, Lin Chenxing awakened and traced a faint vitality that had helped heal him, deciding to study life rather than continue perfecting his secret technique. He surveyed the living planet his clones had created and left its primitive humans and insects to struggle as he observed them.

• Lin Chenxing's clones had rescued his unconscious main body from the battlefield and hidden him on a planet near the border of Human Territory and Zerg Territory.
• Lin Chenxing spent thousands of years reviewing the battle and searching for the faint vitality he had sensed while recovering.
