Chapter Summaries

Zhou Hao sought Luo Feng’s advice about choosing whether to share his insights on a larger scale despite the risks, then convinced the Chaos City Lord to arrange a third session before he left for the Outer Domain Battlefield. The Human Race expanded the number of observer slots to 300,000, and anticipation spread among its Kings, Venerables, and core geniuses.

• Zhou Hao and Luo Feng discussed their cultivation, and Zhou Hao asked whether Luo Feng would pursue an action that helped others but risked major consequences.
• Luo Feng urged Zhou Hao to follow the path he had chosen without hesitation, and Zhou Hao decided not to hold back out of fear of outside consequences.
• Half a month later, Zhou Hao told the Chaos City Lord that observing others during his insight-sharing sessions helped him break through his own bottleneck, and asked to hold another session in a Virtual Universe exclusive space.

Zhou Hao spent nearly a century trying to create a secret technique for the fusion of time and space, but repeatedly failed to unleash its full power. As he entered the training grounds, he realized he might have been following the Beast God Path instead of finding a technique suited to himself.

• He studied other experts' techniques and Beast God battle recordings while practicing the Golden Scale Armor Chapter of the Eight Divine Variations.
• Two months before the third observation session, Zhou Hao lost his fiftieth simulated battle against an immortal-level Golden Horn Beast and questioned why he could not use his insights effectively.
• With a month left, Zhou Hao reviewed his combat experience and reread the general outline of secret techniques in the True Understanding of Time and Space.
• Zhou Hao realized he had been following the Beast God Path, which might not suit the fusion of time and space, and eagerly went to the training grounds.

• Zhou Hao triggered a special sign-in mission and used Great Dao Admonition to share his time-and-space insights, drawing all 300,000 listeners into enlightenment while he gained detailed analyses of Fusion Law techniques.

After returning to Earth and spending time with his family, Zhou Hao became the subject of an urgent Zerg Race Supreme Empress Council as Xuelina revealed how his law-sharing sessions had rapidly advanced human geniuses and powerful experts. The Empress concluded that Zhou Hao posed an existential threat to the Zerg Race, though the council had not yet decided how to respond.
