  • Chen Qing promises Biluo that, given ten eras, he will restore her teacher completely. He comforts her emotionally and physically, and the two retreat into the palace.
  • Afterward, Biluo questions why Chen Qing has become more emotionally driven despite his usual discipline and adherence to Stillness. Chen Qing explains that cultivation is not merely for immortality, but to experience more of the universe with the person he loves.
  • Chen Qing argues that emotional attachment and temporary indulgence do not necessarily hinder cultivation. Letting go briefly can allow one to advance more quickly and eventually overcome past difficulties.
  • Biluo states that her motivation is “hope,” but warns that reviving her teacher must be handled cautiously. The opportunity could provoke the major races and alter the balance of power.
  • Outside the palace, Yao Rao and Jiang Fang wait and jokingly speculate about whether Chen Qing or Biluo would prevail. Their conversation turns to how they once encouraged or arranged relationships involving Chen Qing, Luo Feng, and others.
  • Chen Qing leaves the palace and joins Yao Rao and Jiang Fang. After some teasing, he reminds them that they have serious work to do, especially while Tilina remains in cultivation.
  • Chen Qing enters the Gene-Optimization Chamber to study Bug Race genes. Assisted by Spirit Butterfly and using his mastery of souls and Heart Imprint Heaven and Earth, he examines how genes correspond to Law Origin and interact with surrounding laws.
  • He successfully creates simple insects from genetic material, but the chamber immediately absorbs them. He conducts further experiments involving different temporal flows and combinations of gene fragments.
  • His research suggests that altered time flow may make breakthroughs more difficult for humans from the God Kingdom. However, experiments with more complex creatures fail, confirming that the Mother Nest can perform only basic optimization and lacks true creative ability.

Character Developments

  • Chen Qing: Becomes more open about his emotions and his desire to cultivate alongside those he loves. He balances intimacy and personal relationships with his larger goal of advancing the Human Race and restoring Biluo’s teacher. His scientific curiosity and patience are also emphasized through his systematic genetic experiments.

  • Yao Rao and Jiang Fang: Their playful teasing shows their familiarity and closeness with Chen Qing. Beneath the humor, both recognize the seriousness of the coming mission and their responsibility to support it.
  • Spirit Butterfly: Demonstrates improved computational ability and serves as Chen Qing’s research assistant, organizing the enormous quantity of experimental data.
  • Tilina: Remains absent and continues cultivating, delaying the group’s next major action.

Significant Themes

  • Tilina arrives with urgent news: the Demon Race is preparing to assassinate Luo Feng in the Ancestral God Secret Realm.
  • Chen Qing learns that Luo Feng’s rise to a World Lord with extraordinary Beast God Path strength has attracted the attention of many races. The Machine Race publicized the information, while the Demon Race seeks to exploit it.
  • The Machine Race has withdrawn from part of its territory instead of escalating its conflict with the Demon Race. Meanwhile, fighting among the allied races has intensified, and a High Venerable has already died.
  • Chen Qing concludes that the Demon Race is deliberately inflaming tensions and intends to benefit from the resulting conflict.
  • Rather than allowing Luo Feng to die and prematurely reveal his avatar-related trump cards, Chen Qing decides to reject the Demon Race’s demands through battlefield negotiations and personally travel to the Ancestral God Religion to prevent the assassination.
  • Chen Qing uses the trip as an excuse to visit Cold Whale, who has recently advanced to become a Universe Master.
  • At Cold Whale’s cold pool, the two descend into its dangerous depths. Cold Whale reveals that the lower Dark Current Layer is extremely perilous, but the Nine-Colored Sea Chen Qing gave him allows him to survive there.

  • Blade River King, identified as Luo Feng’s important avatar, is given a possible path to obtain a Nine Nether Blood Sea avatar, though he must first prove his ability and join the Nine Nether faction.

Significant Themes

  • Strategic restraint: Chen Qing chooses not to let Luo Feng die merely to force the enemy to reveal its deeper resources. He prioritizes long-term growth and avoids provoking the three major races unnecessarily.
  • Power concealed beneath appearances: Both Chen Qing and Cold Whale hide the true extent of their abilities. Their casual conversation masks immense strength and dangerous capabilities.
  • Friendship and reciprocity: Chen Qing’s gift of the Nine-Colored Sea to Cold Whale strengthens their bond, and Cold Whale repays that trust by helping Chen Qing contact the Lord of the Nine Nether.
  • Political manipulation: The Demon Race and Machine Race use battlefield movements and intelligence leaks to manipulate the other factions. Chen Qing recognizes that the apparent conflict conceals a broader scheme.
  • Growth through opportunity: The potential Nine Nether avatar represents another step in Luo Feng’s development, while Jiang Fang and Yao Rao’s progress shows the importance of preparation and comprehension before advancement.

  • The Guardian Beast God intervenes through the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, annihilating Marsh Erosion’s divine body.

  • Chen Qing jokingly—but sincerely—asks to study Luo Feng’s completed clone. Luo Feng agrees, recognizing Chen Qing’s past assistance and their close relationship.
  • After Chen Qing leaves, Luo Feng considers whether to pursue the World Tree instead. He ultimately focuses on the Nine Nether Blood Sea because it is a flesh-and-blood lifeform and the most suitable option, while also realizing that World Tree material could serve as a meaningful gift to Chen Qing.

Character Developments

  • Chen Qing demonstrates his immense strength and protective instincts by effortlessly saving Luo Feng from Marsh Erosion’s assassination attempt. His power is now significant enough to frighten even veteran venerables.

Ch. 87Consultation

Chapter Summary: “Consultation”

  • Outside the Ancestral God Palace, the Young Ancestral God and Chen Qing discuss Luo Feng’s situation. The Young Ancestral God confirms that Two-Faced Ancestral God has agreed to protect Luo Feng as long as Luo Feng cultivates peacefully.
  • Because Chen Qing and the Ancestral God Religion have taken a stand, ordinary Venerables and Universe Masters are effectively deterred from attacking Luo Feng. Only the strongest lone cultivators remain realistic threats.
  • The Mechanical Father God, Zhen Demon Ancestor, and Tilina meet secretly in the Primal Universe to discuss Luo Feng’s sudden rise to World Lord-level Ultimate King-Rank strength.
  • The Mechanical Father God concludes that Luo Feng likely obtained a special opportunity, since his improvement far exceeds what his earlier Genius Battle performance could explain.
  • The three alien races consider joining forces against Luo Feng. They also briefly discuss Qingyu, though they decide Luo Feng should be dealt with first.
  • Direct action is rejected for the time being. The races fear provoking the Ancestral God Religion and plan to wait until tensions subside before hiring a lone cultivator to assassinate Luo Feng.
  • The Mechanical Father God worries that Luo Feng might soon break through and become at least a High Venerable. Zhen Demon Ancestor remains dismissive, believing Luo Feng would still be insignificant compared with the strongest beings.
  • In the Virtual Universe, Chen Qing meets with the three strongest Human Race figures. They ask whether his willpower-based secret technique can control or enslave the Mechanical Father God.
  • Chen Qing explains that his technique can suppress the Mechanical Father God’s power but cannot neutralize his puppets or bypass their defenses. He suggests that dealing with the Demon Ancestor would be more practical.

Character Developments

  • Chen Qing is portrayed as confident and strategically important. His intervention has greatly changed the political balance, making most powerful beings reluctant to attack Luo Feng. However, he admits his abilities have limits against the Machine Race’s puppet forces.
  • The Young Ancestral God shifts from casual teasing to a firm commitment to protect the rules surrounding Luo Feng. His agreement with Two-Faced Ancestral God significantly raises the cost of any future attack.
  • Luo Feng does not appear directly, but his extraordinary growth becomes the central concern of the major races. His potential is now viewed as a threat serious enough to require consultation among three strongest beings.
  • The Mechanical Father God displays his characteristic cold, probability-based reasoning. His lack of emotion makes him unusually persistent and difficult to deter, and he suspects Luo Feng possesses a major hidden opportunity.
  • Zhen Demon Ancestor remains cautious because the Demon Race has already suffered losses, but he underestimates Luo Feng’s future potential and considers him only a stronger “ant.”
  • Tilina acts as both a skeptic and an opportunist. She initially mocks the idea that Luo Feng requires such serious attention, but recognizes that the Bug Race cannot afford to remain uninvolved.
  • Original Ancestor demonstrates a clear understanding of Machine Race psychology and warns that their rational calculations can make them especially dangerous.
  • Qingyu is briefly identified as another suspicious Human Race figure, though the three races decide he is a lesser priority than Luo Feng.

Significant Themes

  • Power and deterrence: Chen Qing’s stance and the Ancestral God Religion’s protection create a political shield around Luo Feng, forcing enemies to reconsider direct action.
  • Fear of uncontrolled growth: Luo Feng’s rapid improvement alarms the other races because it suggests a hidden opportunity that could make the Human Race even stronger.
  • Rationality without emotion: The Machine Race’s lack of emotional interference is presented as both a strength and a danger, allowing it to pursue calculated threats relentlessly.
  • Strategic restraint: All sides recognize that acting too soon could provoke the Ancestral God Religion or expose their own weakness, so assassination plans are postponed.
  • Limits of individual power: Even Chen Qing’s formidable willpower technique cannot easily overcome the Machine Race’s puppet armies, emphasizing that overwhelming strength does not solve every strategic problem.
  • Alliance and mutual distrust: The Demon, Machine, and Bug races cooperate out of shared fear of the Human Race, but their discussion reveals differing motives and levels of confidence.

Character Interactions

  • The Young Ancestral God and Chen Qing banter over Chen Qing’s habit of leaving others to handle the consequences of his actions, but their conversation confirms their shared concern for Luo Feng.
  • The Young Ancestral God argues with Chen Qing over whether weaker experts can still act, eventually revealing Two-Faced Ancestral God’s agreement to enforce the rules.
  • Tilina confronts Zhen Demon Ancestor and the Mechanical Father God, accusing them of exaggerating the threat posed by a World Lord. She also challenges the Mechanical Father God for not acting alone.
  • The Mechanical Father God and Zhen Demon Ancestor pressure Tilina into joining their plan by emphasizing the danger of a stronger Human Race.
  • In the Virtual Universe, Tilina displays unusual closeness toward Chen Qing, physically holding onto him because of their shared history in soul cultivation. Chen Qing awkwardly redirects the discussion.
  • Original Ancestor, Tilina, and Chen Qing debate whether Chen Qing’s secret technique could control the Mechanical Father God. Chen Qing rejects the idea as impractical and redirects attention toward the Demon Ancestor as a more manageable target.

  • Chen Qing begins studying Original Ancestor’s soul-related texts in the Virtual Universe. Because the Virtual Universe is fundamentally a soul technique incorporating the ten laws, it gives him access to countless secret-pattern examples and helps him avoid mistakes.
  • Decades pass outside while Chen Qing studies. He realizes that Original Ancestor’s methods are extremely profound and that his own soul technique requires further development.
  • Tilina recommends beginning with her own Soul Secret Technique, which is easier for Chen Qing to understand. Chen Qing agrees to dual cultivation with her, allowing their souls and insights to connect.
  • Before beginning, Chen Qing assigns tasks to his companions:
    • Biluo is told to repeat previous experiments and improve the Path of Origin.
    • Jiang Fang and Yao Rao are instructed to break through to the Immortal level, with the Mother Nest prepared to assist them.
  • During dual cultivation, Chen Qing reveals that his will has reached the third tier. He explains that soul enslavement is dangerous for those with weak wills and that even enslaving the soulless Mechanical Father God may not be possible.
  • Their soul fusion produces major insights. Tilina’s Bug Race soul techniques can reach the ninth tier when combined with Chen Qing’s abilities, reminding him of the illusion techniques of the Void True Demon God.
  • Chen Qing shifts his focus away from enslaving the Machine Race and instead begins studying the nature of their merged souls, considering the possibility of creating a powerful dual-cultivation method. His Green Lotus also assists in the research.

Ch. 89Just Tell Me If It's Powerful or Not

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Chen Qing and Tilina complete an extended dual-cultivation session lasting an entire era. With Tilina’s accumulated experience and the Original Ancestor’s Virtual Universe, Chen Qing advances One Flower One World to the tenth rank and comprehends more than half of the seventh level of Creation.
  • His improved technique can create an independent world in which an instant outside becomes roughly one hundred thousand years for an enemy. The world can evolve according to the target’s memories and knowledge, trapping them in an immersive reality while allowing Chen Qing to analyze and manipulate laws. Its major drawback is its enormous energy consumption.
  • Chen Qing leaves seclusion to assist Jiang Fang and Yao Rao, who are preparing to break through to Immortal, and to help Biluo investigate the Law Origin and organize the Path of Origin for the Human Race.
  • He postpones confronting the Mechanical Father God because his will-based possession technique is still insufficient to affect a True God’s life imprint, especially one belonging to a being without a soul.
  • Chen Qing brings Jiang Fang, Yao Rao, and Biluo into his world and uses his newly developed technique to guide their law comprehension through an intense, hundred-thousand-year instructional session.
  • The session succeeds spectacularly: Jiang Fang and Yao Rao master the six fundamental essences of the laws of time and space, opening the path toward becoming Universe Masters, while Biluo’s understanding of the Law Origin reaches a new level.
  • However, the technique nearly exhausts everyone. Jiang Fang and Yao Rao are left unconscious, Biluo has less than one percent of her divine body remaining, and Chen Qing’s aura and divine body are reduced to a tiny fraction of their normal strength.
  • Biluo retrieves the two disciples’ avatars from their training locations so the situation can be concealed and managed without causing a disturbance.
  • While waiting for them to recover, Chen Qing processes Luo Feng’s messages and discovers that the first batch of materials for Luo Feng’s Origin Core has arrived, including valuable World Tree leaves.

Character Developments

  • Chen Qing makes major breakthroughs in both secret techniques and law comprehension. He becomes capable of using a highly advanced teaching and combat technique, though he has not yet mastered its energy efficiency.
  • Tilina helps Chen Qing achieve his breakthroughs through her extensive experience and remains physically and emotionally close to him, though she stays behind to consolidate her own gains.
  • Biluo becomes increasingly convinced of the value of Chen Qing’s methods despite her initial hesitation. Her understanding of the Law Origin improves greatly, and she shows concern for Chen Qing’s severely depleted condition.
  • Jiang Fang and Yao Rao make enormous progress, comprehending the fundamental time-space essences and moving toward Universe Master-level advancement.
  • Luo Feng continues supporting Chen Qing indirectly by obtaining rare materials for his project, demonstrating his reliability and persistence.

Significant Themes

  • Power through knowledge and experience: Chen Qing’s technique turns the accumulated experiences within a person’s soul into an evolving world, emphasizing the value of understanding rather than brute force.
  • The cost of advancement: The breakthroughs are extraordinary, but they demand severe physical and spiritual expenditure, showing that great power carries significant risks.
  • Teaching and inheritance: Chen Qing’s abilities are not only personal weapons; they can guide others and potentially provide the entire Human Race with a powerful cultivation inheritance.
  • Trust and cooperation: Chen Qing’s progress depends on Tilina, while Biluo and the others accept his guidance for the benefit of the race.
  • Humor and intimacy amid cultivation: The chapter balances immense cosmic developments with playful marital interactions and comedic consequences from Chen Qing’s overenthusiastic technique.

Character Interactions

  • Tilina affectionately clings to Chen Qing after their cultivation session and urges him to remain behind to consolidate his gains.
  • Chen Qing teasingly slaps Yao Rao after she jokes about his condition, maintaining their playful relationship.
  • Biluo initially hesitates to participate in the Law Origin experiment but agrees after recognizing its value to the Human Race.
  • During the instructional session, Chen Qing pushes the three women through intense law comprehension, producing remarkable results but leaving everyone exhausted.
  • Biluo scolds Chen Qing for overusing the technique and worries about his weakened state, while Chen Qing jokingly insists that it is “powerful” despite the enormous cost.
  • After recovering enough to act, Biluo personally goes to retrieve Jiang Fang and Yao Rao’s avatars, while Chen Qing handles Luo Feng’s incoming materials.

Chapter Summary: A Clear Road Ahead

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Chaos City Lord receives Chen Qing’s research results and immediately informs Giant Axe Founder, who convenes the Giant Axe Meeting.
  • Chen Qing presents the preliminary framework of the “Path of Origin,” a cultivation route divided into nine paths:
    • Eight paths based on the fusion of different laws.
    • One path based on the fusion of space and time.
  • The research explains how practitioners can pursue the Divine Power Path by first mastering space-time, using it to construct a perfect foundation, and then advancing through increasingly difficult law-combination diagrams.
  • Chen Qing states that mastering the eight fusion-law paths could allow someone to reach at least the seventh level, equivalent to the level of a Universe Master.
  • He confirms that further breakthroughs can come either from cultivating additional paths, as Giant Beast Ancestor did, or from completely fusing the corresponding laws.
  • Chen Qing reveals that he is already capable of breaking through, but is deliberately delaying it because doing so would make the Divine Body Path more difficult and there is currently no urgent crisis.
  • The meeting then turns to establishing Chaos Steles and an inheritance site based on Chen Qing’s research.
  • The group agrees to place the Chaos Steles in Tilina’s Mini-Universe and open the inheritance site to Venerables and above for the next hundred eras.
  • Tilina offers to abandon her existing territorial foundation, establish a fixed passage in the Galaxy, and fully integrate with the Earth Lineage.
  • Giant Axe approves the plan and assigns Chaos City Lord and three others to finalize the details.

Character Developments

  • Chen Qing is established as the central intellectual and spiritual leader of the emerging alliance. His research provides a viable long-term path for the Human Race and allied races.

  • Peng Gong Lord remains pragmatic and commercially minded, but quickly understands the strategic value of the new inheritance.
  • The other leaders shift from curiosity and skepticism to respect, recognizing that Chen Qing has given the race a new and unusually broad route to power.

Significant Themes

  • A new path for collective advancement: Chen Qing’s research gives the Human Race and its allies a structured method for producing more powerful experts.
  • Knowledge as strategic power: The Path of Origin is treated as valuable not merely for individual cultivation but for reshaping the future strength and territory of an entire race.
  • Patience versus immediate advancement: Chen Qing’s decision to delay his breakthrough emphasizes that long-term preparation can be more important than immediate personal power.
  • Unity and integration: The proposed inheritance site and Tilina’s territorial sacrifice symbolize the merging of formerly separate factions.
  • Institutionalizing individual achievement: Chen Qing’s personal research is transformed into Chaos Steles, an inheritance land, and a system that can benefit generations of cultivators.
