Chapter Summaries

Zhuang Hong contacted Yin Zizhong through Xi Hui Feng and asked him to study the Long Ting Civilization’s knowledge outside the Floating Sky Net. Three hundred years later, Zhuang Hong found inspiration in the Chaos Sphere theory for fusing ten thousand Divinity Traits.

• A lump of flesh separated from Xi Hui Feng and formed a young man, whom Yin Zizhong recognized as his long-lost master, Zhuang Hong.
• Zhuang Hong told Yin Zizhong he had been trapped for over four thousand years and asked him to study the Long Ting Civilization’s knowledge in the outside world.
• Yin Zizhong promised to keep their meeting secret, then recruited Xu Kaidong and Hua Wanying to review the knowledge with him.
• Zhuang Hong used the materials recorded in the Time Unit to study Earth’s technology and, after three hundred years, discovered the Chaos Sphere theory.
• Zhuang Hong realized that fusing all Divinity Traits required setting them in motion and forming them into a Chaos Trait Sphere.

Zhuang Hong abandoned Hua Yuan Power and developed a method for creating Chaos Traits, upgrading Xiao Qi so it could coordinate the traits’ movements through repeated simulations. As the first simulation began, he reflected on his imprisonment in the Black Star Domain and resolved to take revenge on Lord of Black Star.

• Zhuang Hong discarded his Hua Yuan Power research and decided to use Earth’s theoretical knowledge to pursue a superior structure called Chaos Traits.
• Zhuang Hong confined the Divinity Traits in a shrinking space, but random movement left some traits stuck, so he planned to have intelligent programs guide each one.
• Zhuang Hong spent twenty years upgrading Xiao Qi, giving it self-updating abilities and a system of controllable intelligent avatars.
• Zhuang Hong ordered Xiao Qi to simulate the fusion of Chaos Traits, and the traits began moving without getting stuck as Xiao Qi prepared to repeat and refine the process.
• Zhuang Hong concluded that his imprisonment had helped him study, but vowed to kill Lord of Black Star and send him to find his Time Li.

Zhuang Hong successfully fused 11,653 Divinity Traits into Chaos Ball Number One and began testing it inside an avatar. As the sphere formed, it released overwhelming light and a strange aura that seemed to alter the Black Star Domain, leaving Zhuang Hong unsure whether he had imagined the change.

• Xiao Qi completed the simulation and recorded the fusion of 11,653 Divinity Traits as Chaos Ball Number One.
• Zhuang Hong retrieved the Chaos Sphere and decided to test it within an avatar to avoid alerting the Lord of Black Star.
• After waiting six months without attracting attention, Zhuang Hong had the avatar begin condensing the Chaos Sphere.
• Zhuang Hong sensed the force between the Traits revealing the Rule Framework as the sphere took shape.
• The completed Chaos Sphere engulfed the avatar in brilliant light and sent a strange aura through the Black Star Domain, which seemed to change around Zhuang Hong.

Zhuang Hong’s avatar transformed under the Chaos Sphere’s aura, and the Lord of Black Star failed to damage it with a series of attacks. Zhuang Hong sensed that the Black Star Domain was beginning to sink and cave in, leaving the Lord of Black Star silent.

• Zhuang Hong’s avatar fused into a gelatinous form as the Chaos Sphere’s aura altered its cells and merged their stored memories.
• The Lord of Black Star appeared and attacked the Chaos Sphere, but his crushing force and other attacks vanished against its light.
• Zhuang Hong watched the attacks and treated them as tests of the Chaos Sphere’s defensive power.
• The Lord of Black Star inferred that Zhuang Hong had released the sphere and questioned why he had waited so long to use it.
• Zhuang Hong claimed he was making a last attempt to escape and told the Lord of Black Star that the Black Star Domain seemed to be sinking and caving in.
• The Lord of Black Star fell silent.

Zhuang Hong and the Lord of Black Star agreed that Zhuang Hong would have a thousand years to escape the Black Star Domain before he had to help find Time Li. After the Lord of Black Star left, Zhuang Hong studied his transformed avatar and concealed the Chaos Sphere inside his body, though its light still showed.

• The Lord of Black Star weighed killing Zhuang Hong, keeping him imprisoned, or pressuring him, unsettled by the Chaos Sphere's effect on the Black Star Domain.
• Zhuang Hong proposed a thousand-year trial to escape the domain, promising to help find Time Li if he failed, and the Lord of Black Star accepted.
• After the Lord of Black Star left, Zhuang Hong entered the sphere of light where his avatar had restrained the Chaos Sphere's power.
• Zhuang Hong saw that the avatar had become a gelatinous Time Unit containing the Spirit Race's Lifetime Experiences and realized it resembled a miniature Time Li.
• Zhuang Hong pressed the avatar and Chaos Sphere into his body, but he could not hide all the Sacred Light shining from him.

After a thousand years studying the forces between Divinity Traits, Zhuang Hong realized that matter was the foundation of their force fields and divine power. He then deduced that the Black Star Domain was a region emptied by Black Star Power’s repulsive force, leaving him with a new understanding of the domain.

• Zhuang Hong spent a thousand years sorting out the force-field frequencies of more than ten thousand Divinity Traits and identified their Rule Framework.
• Zhuang Hong wandered through his Time Avatar, where a little over twenty revived dead had built territories and formed a small society.
• Zhuang Hong realized that the Time Chronicle could not reveal force fields because it recorded matter, then concluded that matter was the foundation of everything.
• Zhuang Hong inferred that Black Star Power was pure repulsive force that expelled tangible and intangible matter from the Black Star Domain.
• Zhuang Hong questioned whether the Black Star Domain was still fundamentally within the Galaxy Starfield.

Zhuang Hong tested how divine powers affected matter while trapped in Lord of Black Star’s domain, then tried to avoid their agreement by sending two deceased to find the Time Chronicle. After the deceased failed and Lord of Black Star killed them, he returned to confront Zhuang Hong and demanded that he disperse the mysterious light around himself.

• Zhuang Hong experimented with divine powers and matter, hoping to find a way to disrupt Black Star Power and escape the void.
• Lord of Black Star arrived after a thousand years and demanded that Zhuang Hong die, become one of the deceased, and lead him to the Time Chronicle.
• Zhuang Hong offered two captured deceased to guide Lord of Black Star, who took them into the Galaxy Starfield to search for the Time Chronicle.
• After 150 years of fruitless searching, Lord of Black Star crushed the two deceased and returned to confront Zhuang Hong.
• Zhuang Hong offered two more deceased and then invited Lord of Black Star to kill him, but Lord of Black Star instead demanded that he disperse the mysterious light around himself.

Lord of Black Star attacked Zhuang Hong to force him into the Time Chronicle, but Zhuang Hong’s Chaos Sphere repelled the assaults with little effort. While enduring the attacks, Zhuang Hong studied Black Star Power and other force fields, and two hundred years later Lord of Black Star was alarmed that Zhuang Hong’s aura had not weakened.

Zhuang Hong was trapped near a black hole after Lord of Black Star brought him there, while Lord of Black Star pursued his belief that the black hole led to the Upper World. The chapter ended with Zhuang Hong refusing to help and deciding that he would need to defeat or kill Lord of Black Star to stop him from targeting him.

• Zhuang Hong realized he was falling toward a black hole and could not escape by teleportation or flash jumps, so he flew away while searching for another way out.

• Lord of Black Star revealed that he believed the black hole contained a passage to the Upper World and described a network of nodes connecting distant starfields.
• Zhuang Hong tried to dissuade Lord of Black Star but concluded that persuasion would fail and that he would have to defeat or kill him.
• Lord of Black Star invited Zhuang Hong to help explore the black hole, but Zhuang Hong refused.

Zhuang Hong used the Chaos Sphere to turn its power into Chaos Reincarnation Power and escape the distorted space outside the black hole. He returned to the Black Star Domain just as Lord of Black Star was preparing to send him toward the black hole, and revealed that he knew the plan.

• Lord of Black Star urged Zhuang Hong to find the Time Chronicle, but Zhuang Hong refused and planned to escape using the Chaos Sphere.
• Lord of Black Star tried to stop Zhuang Hong with Flowing Light, but Zhuang Hong countered with Chaos arrows and Xiao Qi arranged them into a protective sword formation.

• Zhuang Hong reversed the distorted region outside the black hole with Chaos Reincarnation Power and returned to the Black Star Domain, undoing the events that followed his departure.
• Lord of Black Star began teleporting Zhuang Hong toward the black hole, but Zhuang Hong identified his plan and left him suspicious and startled.

After escaping the Black Star Domain, Zhuang Hong sought the God of Divination to learn the Lord of Black Star’s background and how to master Black Star Power. The God of Divination revealed that Black Star Stones could teach the power and appeared when the Galaxy Black Hole erupted.

• Zhuang Hong searched the Floating Sky Net for information about the Lord of Black Star, found nothing useful, and contacted the God of Divination.
• The God of Divination agreed to meet Zhuang Hong after divining that he had escaped, despite fearing the Lord of Black Star and Zhuang Hong.
• At their old cave, Zhuang Hong used the Chaos Sphere to shield their conversation and asked about the Lord of Black Star and Black Star Power.
• Zhuang Hong said he intended to analyze Black Star Power and kill the Lord of Black Star, then promised to protect the God of Divination if he shared what he knew.
• The God of Divination told Zhuang Hong that Black Star Stones taught Black Star Power and appeared during Galaxy Black Hole eruptions, while the Lord of Black Star had claimed every stone found so far.

Zhuang Hong learned that obtaining Black Star Stone would require waiting for a black hole eruption, while Yin Zizhong spread a rumor about a hidden treasure to draw outsiders into the Red Sun Star Territory and distract Zuo Xu. As the influx of treasure hunters grew, Zuo Xu sought reinforcements, and Rainbow Star Palace’s person in charge blamed his Strange Worm subordinates for leaking the secret.

• God of Divination told Zhuang Hong that Black Star Stone could not be obtained until a black hole erupted and that Lord of Black Star had confiscated all known supplies.

• The Lord of Reincarnation escaped by activating Reincarnation Power, but Zhuang Hong used the same power to summon her back to Rainbow Star Palace.
• Zhuang Hong sealed the space with the Chaos Sphere, and the Lord of Reincarnation was shocked when her next attempt to escape did not work.
