He unleashed his Bone Demons to gather resources while Abyss-Border City officials monitored the teams in the Abyss and debated the Morning Light Squad’s chances.

• Abyss-Border City Class Changers doubted that Chen Ming and the Morning Light Squad could excel in the outer regions, though some looked forward to seeing them reach the inner regions.

As Chen Ming's Morning Light Squad hunted in Abyss Zone One, the region's monitored energy plunged at an unprecedented rate, alarming Abyss-Border City's leaders. The energy value dropped by another 5,000 and continued falling, leaving the higher-ups urging City Lord Xia to investigate.

• Abyss-Border City's higher-ups saw Region One's energy value fall as the Morning Light Squad harvested resources.
• The value plunged by thousands in moments, prompting the higher-ups to suspect something had gone wrong inside Zone One.
• City Lord Xia suggested Chen Ming might have encountered a large herd of Abyssal beasts and harvested its resources.
• The metal stele's value abruptly dropped from 24,520 to 19,520, triggering warning alarms and shocking the city's leaders.
• As Region One's energy continued to fall, the higher-ups pressed City Lord Xia to go investigate despite his rule against Abyss-Border City's people interfering.

Abyss-Border City discovered that Zone One’s energy had fallen to zero, and Chen Ming returned after his Bone Demon army cleared the zone. He revealed that the spatial rift led to an Abyss in another world, while City Lord Xia and the others arrived to find Zone One devastated.

• Abyss-Border City’s metal monument showed Zone One’s energy dropping to zero, confirming its resources had been completely harvested.
• Chen Ming emerged from the spatial rift, reassuring Qin Zhixue, Sun Yang, and Lin Wei, then collected the resources and sent his Bone Demon army into the Bone Tower Space.
• Chen Ming told Qin Zhixue, Sun Yang, and Lin Wei that the rift led to a world beyond Blue Star with another Abyss, and said that sweep was still underway.
• City Lord Xia and the others entered Zone One and found ruined terrain and countless dead Abyss beasts, confirming the zone had been purged.

Inspector Lin and City Lord Xia found Chen Ming and the Morning Light Squad beside a newly appeared spatial rift after the Abyss beasts in District One had been wiped out. Chen Ming claimed the rift had driven the beasts berserk and kept the resources he had collected, leaving Abyss-Border City's leaders to suspect he had profited from the disaster.

• Inspector Lin worried about Chen Ming and the Morning Light Squad, while Abyss-Border City's leaders demanded that they be found and questioned about the destruction of Zone One.
• Chen Ming finished counting his haul of rare resources, lamented that he had found no second spatial-type resource, and waited for the sweep of the other world to end.
• City Lord Xia, Inspector Lin, and more than ten high-level Class Changers arrived and discovered a complete spatial rift near Chen Ming's group.
• When an Abyss-Border City official asked what had happened, Qin Zhixue, Lin Wei, and Sun Yang stayed silent, and Chen Ming blamed the beasts' rampage on the rift.
• Chen Ming said he had killed the beasts and kept their dropped resources, prompting Abyss-Border City's leaders to challenge his story and turn to City Lord Xia.

City Lord Xia ruled that the First Zone’s resources belonged to Chen Ming because no one could prove the Abyss beasts had not been killed by him. When Chen Ming said he needed to enter the spatial rift, Abyss-Border City’s higher-ups stayed to watch, and he vanished into it before their eyes.

• City Lord Xia upheld the rules and awarded the First Zone’s resources to Chen Ming, while Inspector Lin invited him to join the group heading into the Abyss.

• Chen Ming walked through the turbulent energy layer and touched the spatial rift, disappearing as the onlookers watched in shock.

After Chen Ming entered the spatial rift, City Lord Xia identified it as a dead spatial rift, and the people outside assumed Chen Ming had died. On the other side, Chen Ming found his Bone Demon army fighting an alien legion, recalled the demons and their spoils, and faced the baffled enemies alone.

• City Lord Xia examined the spatial rift and declared it a dead spatial rift, leading the crowd to believe Chen Ming was doomed.

As City Lord Xia took Chen Ming and the Morning Light Squad deeper into the Abyss, Chen Ming checked the vast haul of resources he had brought back.

• Chen Ming escaped into the spatial rift as a powerful alien attacked him.
• Sun Yang told the high-level Class Changers that Chen Ming had entered the rift and returned, but they refused to believe him.
• Chen Ming emerged from the rift unharmed and told City Lord Xia that he had found the Abyss of another world.
• City Lord Xia lifted Chen Ming and the Morning Light Squad onto a wind-breath platform and carried them deeper into the Abyss.
• Sun Yang reminded the crowd that one man had promised to call Chen Ming Dad, and the embarrassed man did so before the platform departed.
• Chen Ming moved his haul from the otherworldly Abyss into his spiritual space and searched through its rare spiritual resources.

Chen Ming distributed resources to his teammates and learned from City Lord Xia that the pure mental resources he found came from Dim Star and could increase mental potential. After raising his potential to 25%, Chen Ming stopped to meditate and considered returning to the otherworldly Abyss for more resources.

• Chen Ming gave Qin Zhixue, Sun Yang, and Lin Wei elemental or pure-energy resources to help with their skill awakenings.
• City Lord Xia recognized Chen Ming's pure mental resource and explained that such resources did not exist on Blue Star and likely came from Dim Star.
• City Lord Xia said pure mental resources could increase mental potential without side effects, but Chen Ming would need to meditate after raising it to a certain extent.
• Chen Ming absorbed several dozen resources, raised his mental potential by 3% to 25%, and stopped when his mental power became sluggish.
• Chen Ming decided to meditate for a few days and planned future trips to the otherworldly Abyss to gather more resources.

Chen Ming and the other Class Changers entered the Abyss’s Energy Mountain Range to prepare for cross-tier awakening as an energy tide gathered overhead. The tide descended, and Chen Ming waited with City Lord Xia for the unusual Spatial Law mountain to open.

• City Lord Xia led Chen Ming and the others into the Abyss’s inner region and explained how elemental peaks generated resources and aided awakening.
• Chen Ming learned that a Spatial Law mountain existed and planned to use it to strengthen his spatial awakening.
• Inspector Lin explained that the energy tide would bring the elemental peaks to their peak state, while its opening moments favored Class Changers above Level 40.
• Abyss-Border City’s leaders and high-level Class Changers from other cities arrived, then hurried toward their respective elemental peaks.
• Qin Zhixue, Lin Wei, and Sun Yang reached their chosen peaks, while Chen Ming stayed with City Lord Xia to await the Spatial Law mountain.
• The Abyss fell silent as the radiance overhead blazed, and the energy tide descended.

A rainbow phenomenon activated the elemental mountains in the Abyss, then revealed a small Spatial Law mountain that was actually an uncleared large instance dungeon. City Lord Xia asked Chen Ming to challenge it once, warning that he would destroy it if Chen Ming failed to clear it.

• The rainbow phenomenon sent elemental energy to every mountain in the Abyss, strengthening the Class Changers who could safely enter the turbulent areas.
• Chen Ming noticed that no spatial energy had appeared, while City Lord Xia watched the rainbow phenomenon break apart and reveal a small hill.
• City Lord Xia led Chen Ming to the hill, which Chen Ming discovered was surrounded by turbulent spatial energy and was the Spatial Law mountain.
• City Lord Xia told Chen Ming that the mountain was a large instance dungeon that had opened three times but had never been cleared.
• City Lord Xia explained that his mission was to have Chen Ming challenge the dungeon, gave him one chance, and threatened to destroy it himself if Chen Ming failed.

Chen Ming entered the never-cleared cross-realm dungeon inside Peak of Space, where a tiny mound transformed into an immense mountain. He began climbing under rules that forbade retreat and gave him 48 hours to reach the summit.

• City Lord Xia warned Chen Ming that the large-scale dungeon might contain other challengers and would be destroyed if it could not be cleared.
• Chen Ming crossed the surging spatial energy and discovered that the dungeon was called “Climb the Highest Peak!”
• A mirror-like image appeared above the Abyss, showing Chen Ming inside the dungeon.
• The mound expanded into a mountain stretching beyond sight, and Chen Ming read the dungeon’s conditions: move forward, do not retreat, and climb to the highest peak within 48 hours.
• After waiting for his shield to recover, Chen Ming took his first step up the mountain.

Chen Ming began climbing the mountain in a large-scale cross-realm dungeon, where spatial distortions let mutated beasts ambush him at close range. He discovered the challenge forced him to hold his ground while fighting, and continued battling the beasts without retreating.

• A Spatial Mirror Image showed Chen Ming inside the dungeon while his real body also remained outside, and Inspector Lin explained the phenomenon to Sun Yang.
• Qin Zhixue entered the light-element peak to awaken her skill, hoping she could help Chen Ming during his dungeon challenge.
• Two level 11 mutated beasts emerged beside Chen Ming and attacked, but his shield and sword strikes weakened them and drove them away.
• Chen Ming tested whether the beasts had become invisible, then fought them again when they reappeared with a third beast through spatial ripples.
• Chen Ming realized the beasts occupied different space until they charged close, making their ambushes hard to detect and retreating a likely challenge failure.

Chen Ming climbed the mountain path in the uncleared dungeon while letting exotic beasts attack him, relying on Absolute Defense and Shield Counterattack to endure and build up his damage. As five beasts surrounded him, he realized that reaching 4000% stacked damage would let him strike them all at once.

• Chen Ming continued up the mountain despite repeated ambushes from three exotic beasts, whose attacks could not break his defenses or knock him back.
• Chen Ming put away his longblade and let the beasts attack him as he walked, while Shield Counterattack slowly wore them down and increased his stacked damage.
• A fourth beast joined the attacks, and Abyss-Border City's officials watched in confusion as Chen Ming refused to fight back.
• The city representatives who had seen Chen Ming in the Wasteland explained that he had once let a level 20 exotic beast bite his head.
• Five exotic beasts surrounded Chen Ming, and he realized their continuous attacks helped him approach 4000% stacked damage and unlock Energy Manifestation.

Chen Ming killed the remaining level-11 beasts with a single Energy Manifestation strike, stunning the observers in Abyss-Border City. After Qin Zhixue and Lin Wei awakened their skills, Qin Zhixue told Lin Wei to give both of her contract targets to Chen Ming, leaving Lin Wei to realize that Qin Zhixue had awakened a support skill.

• A Swordbeak Beast killed itself by attacking Chen Ming’s shield and taking reflected damage.
• Chen Ming entered Energy Manifestation and killed four level-11 beasts with one flaming sword strike.
• Observers in Abyss-Border City recognized that Chen Ming had reached Energy Manifestation at level 10, beating the known level-15 record.
• Sun Yang celebrated awakening an S-rank skill, while Inspector Lin doubted that Chen Ming could clear the dungeon.
• Qin Zhixue awakened a support skill and told Lin Wei to direct both of her contract targets to Chen Ming.
• Lin Wei realized Qin Zhixue had awakened a support skill.

Qin Zhixue committed to developing as a support and Lin Wei ended her contract with her to contract with Chen Ming instead. As Qin Zhixue awakened the SSS-Rank skill Angel Holy Ring, Chen Ming accepted Lin Wei’s new contract while continuing to fight in the dungeon.

• Qin Zhixue told Lin Wei she believed the road ahead was broader, and Lin Wei agreed to follow her decision after seeing Chen Ming defeat nearly twenty Level 13 alien beasts at once.
• Qin Zhixue led Lin Wei to the Peak of Space, where Lin Wei released their contract and initiated one with Chen Ming.
• Qin Zhixue activated her angel form and awakened the SSS-Rank skill Angel Holy Ring.
• Chen Ming continued clearing monster waves, raising his Stacking Attack damage to 6800%.
• Chen Ming received Lin Wei’s contract request, realized she had ended her contract with Qin Zhixue, and accepted.

Chen Ming received percentage-based bonuses from Lin Wei and Qin Zhixue, including a powerful healing and recovery ability from Qin Zhixue’s Angel Holy Ring. With his recovery boosted to extraordinary levels, he believed he could remain at full health through future battles.

• Chen Ming saw Lin Wei’s Pact of Strength and Pact of Constitution bonuses applied directly to his attributes.
• Chen Ming checked Shield of Reversal’s upgraded damage and shield effects.
• Qin Zhixue awakened her Angel Holy Ring support skill, granting Chen Ming boosted recovery, a fatal-injury block, healing, and a Strength increase.
• Chen Ming’s Constitution recovered quickly under the Angel Holy Ring’s recovery bonus.
• Chen Ming concluded that Battle-Hardened’s automatic healing made him exceptionally difficult to kill.

Chen Ming reached the mountainside of the spatial mountain dungeon and continued toward its summit to awaken his skill at the highest peak. As the second stage began, he faced attacks from above and below while the onlookers watched his challenge.

• Sun Yang arrived and realized he could only cheer for Chen Ming, while Qin Zhixue and Lin Wei supported him.
• Lu Shan and the Golden Steel Squad arrived at the Abyss entrance, where Lu Shan resolved to awaken his skills and challenge a dungeon himself.
• Chen Ming advanced through waves of exotic beasts, accumulated enough experience to level up after awakening, and reached the mountainside rest point.
• Chen Ming skipped the rest point and entered the second stage, where a Shadowflash Falcon struck from above and an earth spike attacked from below.

Chen Ming entered the second stage of the Peak of Space without resting, while onlookers watched his formidable manifested energy overwhelm the challenge. Lu Shan also tried the dungeon after awakening a powerful SS-rank skill, but failed almost immediately.

• Chen Ming faced the second stage’s all-direction assault from spatial beasts and pressed onward without taking time to recover or improve his skills and equipment.
• City Lord Xia allowed Lu Shan to challenge the dungeon, and Lu Shan entered the Peak of Space with his support teammate after completing his awakening.
• Chen Ming’s Stacking Attack reached 9000%, forming an enlarged Pale Flame giant that astonished the spectators.
• Lu Shan was struck down on the small dirt slope and received a Challenge Failed notification before clearing even the first stretch.

Lu Shan failed to clear the first stretch of the Peak of Space dungeon and watched as Chen Ming surpassed the dungeon’s highest record. Chen Ming defeated the final guardian and cleared the second section.

• Lu Shan was overwhelmed by level fifteen beasts and forced out of the first stretch, realizing how far he was behind Chen Ming.
• The Class Changers focused on Chen Ming as he reached the end of the second stretch and surpassed the dungeon’s previous record.
• Chen Ming raised Spirit Annihilation to level five, increasing his Stacking Attack damage cap to 10500%.
• The level nineteen Shining Star Leopard attacked Chen Ming with a meteor shower, but he recovered from its damage.
• Chen Ming struck the Shining Star Leopard twice, killed it, and cleared the second section.

Chen Ming entered the dungeon’s final stretch and spotted a mysterious spatial treasure that he believed could help him awaken an SSS-rank spatial skill. In the Abyss, City Lord Xia recognized the object as a Spatial Node and prepared to act.

• After Chen Ming killed the Shining Star Leopard, its corpse formed a staircase that led into the third stretch of the road.
• Chen Ming stepped onto the stairs and found himself in a vast wilderness beneath a starry sky, with a mountaintop and a shifting triangular-prism object ahead.
• Chen Ming sensed that the object was an exceptional spatial resource and thought it might let him awaken an SSS-rank spatial skill.
• Chen Ming’s entry into the final stretch triggered a terrifying pressure across the Abyss, and City Lord Xia revealed his Saint Grade power.
• City Lord Xia identified the object in the Spatial Mirror Image as a Spatial Node and appeared above the Peak of Space, ready to intervene.
