Chapter Summaries

After the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest transformed and became more dangerous, Lin Chenxing planted nine kinds of Spirit Bamboo around its outskirts and shielded them from intruders. He then prepared to investigate Qingfeng Mountain’s Dim Land, hoping to uncover the secrets behind the World Beasts and use them to understand the Primal Universe.

• Lord Liyun discovered silver bamboos in the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest, cut off a piece, and recorded the find on her race’s map.
• The forest’s transformation spread until half its outer reaches turned silver, and its spatial storms grew dangerous enough to threaten fifth-tier Universe Masters.
• Lin Chenxing replanted the transformed bamboos as Sharp Metal Bamboo, Cyan Jade Bamboo, Cold Cang Bamboo, Blazing Sun Bamboo, Heavy Domain Bamboo, Light Concealment Bamboo, Wind Chant Bamboo, Tribulation Thunder Bamboo, and Time Chaos Bamboo.
• Lin Chenxing shielded the Spirit Bamboos from visitors and returned to his Miniature Universe.
• Lin Chenxing prepared to investigate the Dim Land in Qingfeng Mountain, hoping to reverse-engineer the secrets of the World Beast Nest and ultimately create a forbidden land of his own.

Lin Chenxing considered how the forbidden lands could help beings in the Universe Ocean grow stronger, then planned how to make the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest into a new Fourth Forbidden Land. He concluded that he would need to create at least Void True God-level Supreme True Treasures, though he doubted he could reach the level needed to produce anything stronger.

• Lin Chenxing reasoned that Qingfeng Mountain, the Universe Boat, Liuzhong Mountain, and the World of Jin contained dangers and legacies that could help beings reach higher levels.
• Lin Chenxing considered what secrets might remain in Liuzhong Mountain, including higher-ranked Flesh Worms and traces of battles between powerful beings.
• Lin Chenxing concluded that the forbidden lands were meant to guide Universe Ocean life forms toward higher levels through Supreme True Treasures and legacies.
• Lin Chenxing planned to establish a new Fourth Forbidden Land around the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest, relying on Supreme True Treasures because providing a legacy was impractical.
• Lin Chenxing decided that Void True God-level treasures were the minimum requirement, while Eternal True God-level treasures would make recognition more likely, but he doubted he could reach that level before entering reincarnation.

Lin Chenxing sent a Divine Power Clone into the Dim Land to map the World Beast Nest using the Black Bamboo as markers. His model supported the theory that the nest had served as Morosa’s former body and had given birth to the World Beasts by destroying itself.

• Lin Chenxing entered the Wan Chong Lang Water Domain and sent a Divine Power Clone aboard a Black-Awning Boat into the Dim Land.
• Lin Chenxing reached the World Beast Nest and found the Black Bamboo he had given Luo Feng still growing there.
• Lin Chenxing began mapping the nest’s perimeter by recording the positions of each Black Bamboo stalk and sending the data to his main body.
• Lin Chenxing’s model suggested that the World Beast Nest had used itself as a template to create World Beasts and was the former vessel of Morosa, the World Beast King.
• Lin Chenxing followed connections derived from World Beast life-gene data and found that the nest’s terrain matched the positions his theory predicted.

Lin Chenxing studied the World Beast Nest’s structure and continued searching the Dim Land for the secret of World Beast birth. Meanwhile, Jiaochi Master entered the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest, found a Supreme True Treasure, and secretly planned to make the forest a source of power for his race.

• Lin Chenxing realized how the World Beast Nest explained Luo Feng’s Miniature Universe and its potential path to becoming a God King.
• After more than ninety eras searching the Dim Land, Lin Chenxing had illuminated almost his entire map without finding the secret he sought.
• Jiaochi Master entered the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest, hoping to find an inheritance or treasure that could help him protect the Jiaochi Race from the God Race.
• Jiaochi Master witnessed a Space-Splitting Bamboo fruit produce a Supreme True Treasure and claimed it.
• Jiaochi Master designated the forest as a training ground for his race while keeping its ability to produce Supreme True Treasures secret.

Jiaochi Master formed the Territory-Guarding Alliance after the Jiaochi Race lost much of its territory in wars with the God Race and other peak races. When news spread that the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest could produce Supreme True Treasures, Lin Chenxing left the Dim Land to investigate why one had appeared so soon.

• The Jiaochi Race lost two Universe Masters under pressure from the God Race, so Jiaochi Master rallied nearby races and stabilized the fighting.
• The Ancient and Dream Races attacked the God Race, while the Wood Race forced the Dream Race to divert troops, and the war ended with the Jiaochi Race losing more than forty percent of its territory.
• The Jiaochi Race’s allies and other nearby powers, including the Human Race, established the Territory-Guarding Alliance with five core races.
• Jiaochi Master publicized the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest’s changes, and news spread that it could produce Supreme True Treasures.
• Lin Chenxing learned that a True God Level Supreme True Treasure had appeared far earlier than he predicted and decided to return from the Dim Land to investigate.

Lin Chenxing investigated the spatial fluctuations around the Space-Splitting Bamboo and discovered they resonated with the area where he had planted the Time Chaos Bamboo. He reached the hidden site behind his barrier and began inspecting the Time Chaos Bamboos for matching changes.

• Lin Chenxing examined the Space-Splitting Bamboo and sensed spatial fluctuations gathering around it.
• Lin Chenxing detected two distinct regions of spatial resonance that both pointed toward his Time Chaos Bamboo.
• Lin Chenxing teleported to the bamboo's location, while the Universe Masters and True Gods who followed him arrived outside the forest.
• The gathered beings attacked the spot where chaotic energy was being blocked, triggering Lin Chenxing's defensive secret-technique barrier.
• Lin Chenxing trusted the barrier and inspected the Time Chaos Bamboos he had planted dozens of eras earlier.

Lin Chenxing investigated the resonance between the Time Chaos Bamboo Forest and the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest, discovering how the other eight bamboo forests filtered and redirected chaotic energy. He left the groves open to exploration, expecting them to mature before their barriers disappeared.

• Lin Chenxing found that the Time Chaos Bamboo and Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forests resonated through strange fluctuations, and he set out to study their interaction.
• Powerful beings mapped the nine barriers around the bamboo forests, but they could not understand the forests’ connections or sense what Lin Chenxing had discovered.
• Lin Chenxing explained that the Origin One path could produce only eight True Gods in a Reincarnation Era, while his disciples had gained little insight into his techniques.
• The powerful beings failed to sense the bamboo forests’ secrets, and most lost interest in the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest rather than risk angering Lin Chenxing.
• Lin Chenxing discovered that the other eight bamboo forests filtered chaotic currents and sent transformed energy to the two central forests.
• Lin Chenxing left the bamboo forests open to visitors, hoping their activity would help the groves evolve and allowing newly born treasures to reward explorers.

Lin Chenxing planted Black Bamboo at the World Beast Nest’s unusual nodes to recreate a hidden fluctuation, then observed the nest begin gathering the Origin of Life into new forms. He gained insight into how the Primal Universe and the World Beast Nest gave birth to life, and his Miniature Universe’s lifeless celestial bodies began showing signs of life.

• Lin Chenxing confirmed that his map of the World Beast Nest was complete and suspected its special fluctuations had vanished after the World Beast King left.
• Lin Chenxing gathered Black Bamboo shoots and planted them at every unusual node in the nest.
• After waiting nearly an epoch for the bamboo to mature, Lin Chenxing sensed its life fluctuations activate a faint pulse in the World Beast Nest.
• Lin Chenxing’s Divine Power Clone removed the bamboo and its roots while his true body studied the pulse in a model of the nest.
• Lin Chenxing watched the model gather Destruction of Origin of Life at one billion nodes, then dispersed it before tangible forms could take shape.
• Lin Chenxing gained insight into how the Primal Universe and World Beast Nest birthed life, and some lifeless celestial bodies in his Miniature Universe began showing signs of life.

Lin Chenxing created the prototype of his All Living Beings technique, bringing him close to twelfth-order strength, and returned to his Miniature Universe to refine it. Chaos City Lord then arrived with an urgent warning from Luo Feng about coming events connected to the Primal Universe and their teacher.

• Lin Chenxing's new technique, All Living Beings, became known among Human Race experts and consisted of four interlocking Secret Techniques.
• The prototype's completion brought Lin Chenxing to the threshold of twelfth-order strength, though he still needed time to perfect it.
• Lin Chenxing returned to his Miniature Universe and began refining the technique, planning to investigate the white flesh worms in Liuzhong Mountain afterward.
• Chaos City Lord came to Lin Chenxing with a warning from Luo Feng that the Human Race should prepare for events connected to the Primal Universe and remain in their Miniature Universes.
• Chaos City Lord said the coming events might be connected to what had happened to their teacher, but gave no further details.

After Luo Feng tried and failed to possess the Primal Universe, its Origin Will ordered the Universe Ocean to hunt him, while the Human Race resumed its explorations. The other races pieced together that the Human Race had attempted something against the Primal Universe, but they could not uncover the details from its leaders.

• Lin Chenxing ordered the Universe Masters in his Miniature Universe to stay inside as the Human Race disappeared from the Universe Ocean.
• Luo Feng moved his Miniature Universe close to the Primal Universe and pressed his Saint-Level Soul Will against it.
• The Primal Universe Origin Will ordered the Ancestral God Sect to call for the extermination of the Galaxy Holy Land's humans, then narrowed the order to target only Luo Feng after a thousand eras.
• Luo Feng's attempt to possess the Primal Universe failed, and his Miniature Universe returned to its original position.
• Human Universe Masters and True Gods resumed exploring, but they could offer little information to other races about the Human Race's actions.
• The powerful beings of the Universe Ocean identified eight Human leaders and allies who might know the truth, but found no easy way to force or persuade them to reveal it.

Luo Feng explained that the Human Race had ignored the Primal Universe Origin Will’s wanted notice while restricting weaker Galaxy Holy Land Universe Masters from leaving. He then shared what he learned from possessing the Primal Universe, including how Lin Chenxing’s Path of Origin One had changed the Primal Universe’s Origin and what it still lacked.

• The races of the Universe Ocean ignored the wanted notice, while the Human Race barred Universe Masters without sixth-tier strength and a Supreme True Treasure palace from leaving for a thousand eras.
• Lin Chenxing arrived at Luo Feng’s Divine Power Clone, and Luo Feng recognized that Lin was nearing the twelfth tier.
• Luo Feng urged the Chaos City Lord to pass through the cycle of reincarnation, and the Chaos City Lord chose to spar with Lin Chenxing first in hopes of gaining insight.
• Luo Feng explained that Lin Chenxing’s Path of Origin One had been engraved in the Primal Universe’s Origin and made it more complex and powerful.
• Luo Feng told Lin Chenxing that the path’s eight routes lacked a central point to unite them, and said Original Ancestor would likely make the next attempt to possess the Primal Universe.

Luo Feng assured Chaos City Lord that the Original Ancestor could possess the Primal Universe, then Lin Chenxing and the other True Gods discussed legacies and ways to pursue stronger techniques. Chaos City Lord and Lin Chenxing began a match in a remote part of the Universe Ocean, where Chaos City Lord opened with a space-time technique and Lin Chenxing countered with a punch.

• Luo Feng told Chaos City Lord that the Original Ancestor was likely to succeed in possessing the Primal Universe because of his Virtual Universe, his mastery of the Path of Origin One, and the Supreme Rules' inability to suppress him.
• After Luo Feng's Divine Power Clone vanished, Darkness True God congratulated Chaos City Lord, and Lin Chenxing discussed his self-created Path of Origin One and the limits of the Immeasurable Bamboo Mountain.
• True God Xu Jin and Peng Gong True God lamented their struggle to advance from ninth-rank to tenth-rank secret techniques, and Hong suggested studying the broader ideas in the Path of Origin One.
• Lin Chenxing offered to send the others a copy of the Origin One art, and Chaos City Lord proposed a match before attempting his final secret technique and heading for the Land of Reincarnation.
• In a remote area of the Universe Ocean, Chaos City Lord used Eye of Time and Space to suppress Lin Chenxing, who met the pressure with All Living Beings and punched using Origin One Transforms Yin and Yang.
• Chaos City Lord answered Lin Chenxing's punch with Time and Space Mirror Image, creating countless mirrors around himself.

Chaos City Lord created the near-complete Eleventh Order Secret Technique Eye of Sigh during his battle with Lin Chenxing, then announced that he would attempt a breakthrough within a century. His Miniature Universe expanded into Chaos Holy Land Universe, reaching a diameter of fifty-six billion light-years.

• Chaos City Lord used Space and Time Mirror Image to block Lin Chenxing's attacks, stopping the force of his fifty-percent-power fist with four layers of mirror images.
• Chaos City Lord combined insights from Eye of Time and Space and Time and Space Sigh to create Eye of Sigh, which drained eighty percent of Lin Chenxing's fist's power.
• Lin Chenxing congratulated Chaos City Lord on creating an almost complete Eleventh Order Secret Technique, and Chaos City Lord wondered whether Space and Time Mirror Image could be added to it.
• Chaos City Lord told everyone to arrive within a century if they wanted to entrust themselves to his Miniature Universe before his breakthrough.
• Powerful beings gathered as Chaos City Lord's Miniature Universe expanded, and it stopped at fifty-six billion light-years, close to the size of Great Axe Holy Land.

After Chaos City Lord broke through and left for the cycle of reincarnation, the Human Race's power further widened its lead over the other races. Meanwhile, clashes over silver bamboo spread through the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest, while Lin Chenxing let the turmoil aid his plans before preparing to visit Liuzhong Mountain.

• The Universe Ocean's races accepted Chaos City Lord's enormous Miniature Universe, while Darkness True God and the other Human True Gods tried combining secret techniques after hearing his explanation.
• Chaos City Lord left to enter the cycle of reincarnation, carrying a Memory Stone with the location and basic map of the Origin Continent.
• The races explored the Rift-Splitting Bamboo Forest more aggressively after new treasures appeared among its bamboo, and disputes over silver bamboo stalks broke out.
• Lin Chenxing allowed the clashes to continue because their effects could foster new bamboo varieties and help him understand his secret technique, All Living Beings.
• Lin Chenxing estimated that the bamboo forests would merge into a vast Bamboo Sea around the midpoint of the Reincarnation Era, then prepared to travel to Liuzhong Mountain.

Lin Chenxing returned to Liuzhong Mountain and chose a narrow river crossing to enter its Core Region, planning to climb toward the snowy summit. He began crossing the dangerous foothills carefully, where petrified Sea Beasts and scattered treasures made a safe passage difficult.

• Lin Chenxing searched for the half-bridge around the Core Region for decades but could not find it, so he decided to climb the mountain instead.
• Lin Chenxing arranged for a sixth-tier Universe Master to watch for the half-bridge, then used a narrow stretch of river to enter the Core Region.
• Lin Chenxing recalled Jiefanzi's warnings about the foothills, mountainside, and snowy summit as he reached the Core Region's strange-rock-strewn foothills.
• Lin Chenxing recognized that the rocks were Sea Beasts turned to stone by the Traveler, and learned that disturbed beasts could awaken and attack.
• Lin Chenxing carefully avoided the Sea Beast statues as he crossed the foothills, where valuable treasures lay among densely packed rocks.

Lin Chenxing crossed into the Desert Labyrinth using Saint Kiru’s records and found treasures and stone tablets left by True Gods trapped there. The inscriptions revealed that Holy Land Universes had existed in earlier eras and left him with a message to deliver to East Emperor.

• Lin Chenxing reached the desert after nearly ten eras and entered the Desert Labyrinth, relying on Saint Kiru’s records to navigate it.
• Lin Chenxing found Supreme Treasures, Supreme True Treasures, and stone tablets erected by True Gods who had died in the labyrinth.
• Lin Chenxing read Bixi Progenitor God’s account of reaching the tenth tier and dying before he could establish the Universe Ocean’s second Holy Land Universe.
• Lin Chenxing learned from True Lord Mo Ling’s inscription that no Holy Land Universe existed in his Reincarnation Era.
• Lin Chenxing found Xihe Star Lord’s message asking a future traveler to learn whether East Emperor had survived and to tell him that Xihe Star Lord had let him down.

Lin Chenxing collected the ancient True Gods’ records and treasures, then tested his strength against a Sea Beast while heading to the Labyrinth’s sole exit. He reached the waiting point and listened as beasts crashed into the surrounding dead ends, wondering how long it would take for the passage to appear.

• Lin Chenxing stored the stone tablet and the ancient techniques and Secret Pattern Diagrams for the Human Race’s historical records and treasures.
• Lin Chenxing counted the many Supreme Treasures he had obtained and made his way toward the Labyrinth’s designated exit.
• Lin Chenxing bound a spear from the relics and used his technique, Origin One Transforms Yin and Yang, to kill a peak True God-level Sea Beast with one strike.
• Lin Chenxing reached the waiting point and heard Sea Beasts nearby repeatedly crashing into the Labyrinth’s walls.
• Lin Chenxing waited to see when the shifting Labyrinth would open its sole exit and when another Sea Beast would reach him.

Lin Chenxing reached Liuzhong Mountain’s snowy summit and discovered that the crystal trees were connected to the white Flesh Worms. After killing a swarm, he suspected the trees produced the bugs and began testing his theory.

• Lin Chenxing emerged from the labyrinth, assessed the valuable sand, and covered a sunken patch near the passage with snow.
• Lin Chenxing climbed to the summit, where crystal-like trees covered the snow, but he could not see any Flesh Worms.
• Lin Chenxing cautiously tested the snow and leaves with Supreme Treasures, then discovered that the trees’ leaves were disguised worms.
• Lin Chenxing killed the bugs from one tree with tenth-tier secret techniques, but their corpses melted into the snow.
• Lin Chenxing noticed fluffy white buds on the tree and suspected the crystal trees produced the Flesh Worms.
• Lin Chenxing approached another tree, killed its bugs, and kept one worm alive to compare it with the tree’s buds before killing it.

Lin Chenxing advanced through the Crystal Woods, clearing increasingly powerful worms and collecting Supreme True Treasures as he studied the Crystal Trees. He concluded that the trees were likely branches of one enormous Crystal Tree hidden within Liuzhong Mountain, and continued toward the mountaintop.

• Lin Chenxing reasoned that the worms fed on the Crystal Trees’ sprouts and that the trees’ suppression of divine power could make the worms dangerous to ordinary True Gods.
• Lin Chenxing cleared worms from the outer trees before entering deeper layers, where he found the worms growing stronger and wondered whether those near the center might reach Void True God strength.
• Lin Chenxing found Supreme True Treasures among the trees and observed that the worms had reached Ninth-Order True God strength by the halfway point, while he still had nearly ninety percent of his Divine Body reserves.
• Lin Chenxing noticed that the Crystal Trees’ observable life-gene structures were identical and tentatively concluded that they were branches of a single enormous Crystal Tree hidden within Liuzhong Mountain.

Lin Chenxing fought his way through the white flesh worms beneath the crystal trees, then discovered that the final three trees concealed no worms. A Secret Pattern Diagram instead revealed the Myriad Cloud Insect Crystal Mother Tree and its uses.

• Lin Chenxing searched near the mountaintop, where white flesh worms had grown resistant to his tenth-order techniques and forced him to use eleventh-order attacks.
• Lin Chenxing faced three worms on each tree; their eleventh-order strength shifted between them, and he defeated them while conserving about half his divine power.
• Lin Chenxing found no worms on the final three crystal trees and became disappointed when prodding their leaves produced no response.
• Lin Chenxing triggered a Secret Pattern Diagram between the trees and watched a sapling emerge from the snow.
• Lin Chenxing read the ribbons describing the Myriad Cloud Insect Crystal Mother Tree, whose leaves produced Cloud Insects and Insect Crystals useful for growth and crafting Supreme Treasures.
