Chapter Summaries

Zhou Zheng and Qiao Yadu joined forces to ambush a Demigod’s team, while Zhou Zheng continued searching for experimental data. Their plan initially went smoothly, but a plump figure suddenly stabbed Qiao Yadu in the chest.

• Zhou Zheng subdued an ice-wielding lifeform at another experimental site and obtained a third batch of experimental data.
• Qiao Yadu contacted Zhou Zheng with news of a suitable target, and Zhou Zheng led the Black Wind Squad to join him.
• Qiao Yadu explained that he had been following a team containing a Demigod and three Saint Level Transcendent beings.
• Zhou Zheng assigned Herk and the other two to capture the team’s mid-Saint Level members and secretly limited his Time Deceleration to conceal its true strength.
• Zhou Zheng and Qiao Yadu ambushed the team, quickly suppressing its members until a plump figure stabbed Qiao Yadu in the chest.

Zhou Zheng was ambushed by a hidden wielder of Shadow Intent whose poisoned dagger incapacitated Qiao Yadu, while an Alchemical Life and several Transcendents kept Zhou Zheng occupied. He sent Herk and the others fleeing and remained locked in a stalemate, considering retreat as Qiao Yadu continued to suffer.

• A poisoned dagger pierced Qiao Yadu, turning his flesh black and leaving him screaming as he fell from the sky.
• Zhou Zheng used Time Deceleration to dodge a Shadow Intent assassin’s attack and beheaded a shadow avatar, realizing the dagger’s poison had brought down Qiao Yadu.
• Zhou Zheng recognized the team’s apparent Demigod as an Alchemical Life designed to entangle and defend, then evaded its attempts to restrain him.
• Zhou Zheng told Herk, Mo Zitong, and the others to split up and flee, and they left while the enemy team turned its attention to him.
• An Alchemical Life and three Saint Level Transcendents attacked Zhou Zheng as the hidden Shadow Intent wielder waited to ambush him, creating a stalemate that led Zhou Zheng to consider withdrawing.

Zhou Zheng endured a relentless Shadow Intent assassin’s attacks and the dagger’s lingering pain until the crisis helped him grasp Proto Myriad Intent, transforming his strength and vitality. With the mission deadline approaching, he prepared to surprise the assassin who had tormented him.

• Zhou Zheng escaped the assassin’s attack and later learned that Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong were safe, but Herk did not respond.
• After three days, the assassin ambushed Zhou Zheng with the dagger, leaving him in severe pain despite only grazing him.
• For the next month and a half, the assassin repeatedly harassed Zhou Zheng while he studied lifeforms and endured the pain.
• Zhou Zheng realized that understanding his body and transforming his soul could unlock life’s hidden potential, and he grasped Proto Myriad Intent.
• Zhou Zheng’s vitality surged and suppressed the dagger’s pain, and he decided to repay the assassin with a surprise.

Zhou Zheng used repeated feigned lapses in his defenses to convince the assassin that poison had weakened him and lure the assassin’s Original Body out of the Shadow Space. As the assassin launched a direct attack, Zhou Zheng revealed he had been waiting for the chance to strike back.

• Zhou Zheng studied the Proto Myriad Intent and began deliberately slowing his reactions during the assassin’s ambushes.
• The assassin repeatedly grazed Zhou Zheng with a poison-coated dagger, believing the poison was wearing him down.
• Near the mission’s end, Zhou Zheng let the dagger pierce him, then pretended to crumple while continuing to destroy the assassin’s shadow clones.
• The obese assassin, coveting Zhou Zheng’s treasures and running out of time, decided to attack with his Original Body.
• Zhou Zheng sensed the direct attack, turned to face the obese figure, and stretched his arm to send Sword Light toward him.

Zhou Zheng killed the Shadow Intent assassin, purged the poison from his body, and claimed the assassin’s remaining treasures. After the mission, the Temporal Temple promoted him to Gold Token Divine Envoy and promised him guidance from a Great Power.

• Zhou Zheng used his Proto Myriad Intent and combined time techniques to kill the assassin with a single strike, then collected the treasures he dropped.
• Zhou Zheng identified the assassin’s emerald dagger as the source of the Bitter Spirit Poison and learned the poison had cost the assassin most of his wealth.
• After the mission ended, Zhou Zheng spent 5,000 Time-Space Points to purge the poison and discovered the dagger was still worth 150,000 points.
• The Temporal Temple Artifact Spirit promoted Zhou Zheng to Gold Token Divine Envoy after he grasped two Second-grade True Meanings and one Second-grade Proto True Meaning at age forty.
• The Artifact Spirit urged Zhou Zheng to pursue the True Meaning of Time and promised that a Great Power would guide him once.

After becoming a Gold Token Divine Envoy, Zhou Zheng learned about the Temple’s protections and the progress required to earn greater privileges. He returned to Black Wind Divine Mountain, where Mo Zitong and Feng Zhuhong welcomed him and he concluded that Herk was likely dead.

• The Temporal Temple Artifact Spirit explained that Zhou Zheng was one of three Gold Token Divine Envoys, whose identities were kept secret to protect potential First-grade True Meaning Transcendentals.
• Zhou Zheng learned that Gold Token Divine Envoys could receive resurrection, pause missions, and seek guidance, but further rewards depended on meeting requirements and demonstrating progress.
• Zhou Zheng reflected that becoming a Gold Token Divine Envoy did not let him rest, since strength remained essential.
• Half a day later, Zhou Zheng arrived at Black Wind Divine Mountain, where Mo Zitong and Feng Zhuhong asked whether he was safe.
• Mo Zitong and Feng Zhuhong said Herk had not arrived, and Zhou Zheng concluded that Herk was probably dead.

Zhou Zheng met the Great Power sent by the Temporal Temple Artifact Spirit to guide his cultivation and witnessed the process of World Creation. The Great Power left an imprint in Zhou Zheng’s soul for him to review once, then began discussing his future cultivation.

• Zhou Zheng, Feng Zhuhong, and Mo Zitong held a team meeting and agreed to wait for the Temporal Temple to arrange their next teammate.
• A white-robed Great Power appeared before Zhou Zheng and explained that he could offer guidance but could not teach Zhou Zheng to become a First-grade True Meaning Transcendental.
• The Great Power showed Zhou Zheng Chaos, Heaven Opening, the Chaos Hole, and the Extreme Point, revealing the process of World Creation.
• The Great Power left an imprint in Zhou Zheng’s soul that would let him watch the scene one more time and began discussing his future cultivation.

After witnessing World Creation, Zhou Zheng advanced his True Meanings and spent over 150 years completing dangerous missions while pursuing a First-grade True Meaning. Stuck on the True Meaning of Time, he chose to learn a World God-level Secret Technique.

• The White-robed Great Power advised Zhou Zheng that he had to comprehend First-grade True Meaning on his own, then vanished.
• Zhou Zheng absorbed the insights from witnessing World Creation and condensed Time Acceleration into a Proto True Meaning.
• Over more than 150 years and ten missions, Zhou Zheng developed four Second-grade True Meanings to Peak Third-tier and created a Secret Technique combining Time Acceleration and Time Deceleration.
• Zhou Zheng continued pursuing the True Meaning of Time but remained stuck on its final steps.
• Zhou Zheng summoned 3327, applied to learn a World God-level Secret Technique, and chose the Indestructible Space-Time Body.

Zhou Zheng learned the Indestructible Space-Time Body in the Space-Time Realm and quickly completed its first two cultivation steps, transforming his body into an immensely powerful form. He prepared to continue cultivating, having gained extraordinary defenses even before completing the technique.

• Zhou Zheng arrived in the Space-Time Realm, where an old fisherman directed him to the statue of the Island Master of Time and Space.
• Zhou Zheng looked into the statue’s eyes, swore not to reveal the secret technique, and received its Divine Seal and the Indestructible Space-Time Body’s teachings.
• Zhou Zheng condensed his Battle Qi into Space-Time True Force, then replenished it with the abundant worldly energy of the Space-Time Realm.
• Zhou Zheng transformed the particles in his body into the technique’s complex structure, which absorbed the Proto Micro-particle Divine Body structure.
• Zhou Zheng sensed that his transformed body could withstand some Deities’ attacks and resolved to continue cultivating.

After mastering the third step of the Indestructible Space-Time Body, Zhou Zheng arranged to disband the Black Wind Squad, unwilling to let his longtime teammates risk dying on missions far beyond their strength. He gave Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong Divine Artifacts and left them with a way to find him, while the team’s disbandment was set to take effect in three days.

• Zhou Zheng mastered the third step of the Indestructible Space-Time Body after three months of repeated attempts.
• Zhou Zheng summoned Feng Zhuhong, Mo Zitong, and Feng Jia to Black Wind Divine Mountain and announced that the Black Wind Squad would disband in three days.
• Zhou Zheng told Feng Jia that the Temporal Temple would assign him a new team, and Feng Jia departed.
• Zhou Zheng explained to Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong that he did not want them to die in missions beyond their abilities, as they nearly had in the last mission.
• Zhou Zheng gave Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong Divine Artifacts, told them they could visit him at Black Wind Divine Mountain, and then left.

Zhou Zheng joined a Deity-level squad under the alias Lightning Swordsman, claiming to specialize in strength and defense. He discovered that Zhu Jiuling was among his teammates and agreed to follow Dong Xuan Chen’s lead on missions.

• Zhou Zheng arrived near the vortex with three Deities and introduced himself as the Divine Late Stage Lightning Swordsman.
• Zhu Jiuling recognized Zhou Zheng’s voice, and Zhou Zheng cautiously confirmed Zhu Jiuling’s identity while refusing to reveal his own.
• Dong Xuan Chen introduced himself as a Divine Peak expert with the Space Divine Heart, Zhu Jiuling as a Divine Peak expert with the Time Divine Heart, and Qian Yun Fengling as a Divine Late Stage expert with the Great Destruction Divine Heart.
• Dong Xuan Chen explained that he usually made squad decisions, and Zhou Zheng agreed to follow his lead unless his decisions were unreasonable.

Zhou Zheng and the three Deities began their mission to explore the Heavenly Star Great Vortex and find World Stones. Dong Xuan Chen brought them into the vortex aboard his Delusion Breaking Flying Boat, and they arrived in a lifeless world beneath a vast crater filled with Destruction.

• The mission tasked Zhou Zheng, Dong Xuan Chen, Zhu Jiuling, and Qian Yun Fengling with exploring the Heavenly Star Great Vortex and finding at least three hundred World Stones within one hundred years.
• Dong Xuan Chen proposed entering the secret realm aboard his repaired Delusion Breaking Warship, and the group agreed to explore before deciding on a plan.
• Dong Xuan Chen showed off his flying boat, whose defenses and speed were comparable to a Grade A9 Standard warship, then piloted it toward the vortex.
• The flying boat crossed the distance to the vortex and entered a world with fragile space, where Dong Xuan Chen identified a huge crater radiating a terrifying aura of Destruction.

Zhou Zheng and the other Deities searched for the World Stone by destroying a world, and Zhou Zheng found one in its collapsing remains. They set out to follow the Spatial Turbulence in search of more worlds, while Zhu Jiuling warned that the mission might not be simple.

• Zhu Jiuling, Dong Xuan Chen, and Qian Yun Fengling agreed to destroy the world to see if doing so would reveal the World Stone.
• Qian Yun Fengling struck the world with a devastating palm, triggering its collapse, and Zhou Zheng left the flying boat to witness the destruction firsthand.
• As the world disintegrated, Zhou Zheng spotted a glittering bluish stone in the Void and stored it before escaping into the Spatial Turbulence.
• Zhou Zheng returned to the flying boat and showed the stone to the others, who identified it as the World Stone.
• Dong Xuan Chen proposed following the Spatial Turbulence to find more worlds, and Zhu Jiuling cautioned the group to remain vigilant.

Zhou Zheng’s squad traveled through the Spatial Turbulence, destroying worlds and collecting World Stones while he cultivated and gained insight into space. After more than ten years, two winged lifeforms confronted the squad, and one fled after his companion was swiftly killed by the masked Zhou Zheng.

• Zhou Zheng cultivated during the long journey while Dong Xuan Chen and Zhu Jiuling discussed faith and the Divine Heart of Space-Time.
• After more than two months, the squad found and destroyed a second world, obtaining another World Stone.
• Over the next decade, Zhou Zheng gained substantial insight into space by listening to Dong Xuan Chen and Zhu Jiuling, grasping Proto True Meanings for Spatial Cutting and Shattering Space.
• Two winged lifeforms found the Delusion Breaking Flying Boat and sent one to attack the squad.
• A masked Zhou Zheng emerged, survived the attacker’s strike, and killed him with a sword that erased much of his body.
• The surviving winged lifeform fled after Zhou Zheng remained unharmed by the attacker’s self-destruction.

After a strange attacker self-destructed, Zhou Zheng’s squad changed course and learned that Zhou Zheng wielded formidable Micro-particle techniques. He later studied a fragment of the attacker’s flesh and discovered a particle structure that seemed perfectly arranged.

• Zhou Zheng told Dong Xuan Chen that the attacker had Divine Late Stage power but simple attacks, so the four changed their route to stay safe.
• Dong Xuan Chen praised Zhou Zheng’s sword strike, and Zhou Zheng said he was skilled in Micro-particle Profound Mystery.
• Zhou Zheng reflected on the three Secret Techniques he had recently created, including techniques based on Micro-particle True Meaning, Myriad Intent, and time powers.
• After half a month without further attacks, Zhou Zheng studied a piece of the attacker’s flesh that he had salvaged during its self-destruction.
• Zhou Zheng found that the flesh’s particle structure was simple enough to understand yet seemed perfect in the arrangement and movement of its Micro-particles.

While studying a strange particle structure, Zhou Zheng unexpectedly formed the Micro-particle Divine Heart and then resumed cultivating. Three years later, over a thousand Winged Lifeforms led by a towering figure prepared to attack Dong Xuan Chen's approaching flying boat.

• Dong Xuan Chen and Zhu Jiuling noticed Zhou Zheng had spent nearly a year motionless and guessed he was experiencing enlightenment.
• A universe-like phantom appeared behind Zhou Zheng, and Dong Xuan Chen and Zhu Jiuling recognized the phenomenon as the Micro-particle Divine Heart forming.
• Zhou Zheng realized his Peak Third-tier Micro-particle True Meaning had become a Divine Heart, congratulated his companions, and returned to cultivation to refine his insights and Secret Technique.
• Three years later, over a thousand Winged Lifeforms gathered in the Space-Time Turbulence as their towering leader watched Dong Xuan Chen's flying boat approach and declared the outsiders would die.

Dong Xuan Chen and the others were ambushed by over a thousand Winged Lifeforms while traveling through Spatial Turbulence. After learning the attackers were seeking revenge for the stolen Hearts of the World, the group fought to break through, with Zhou Zheng confronting their hammer-wielding leader.

• A giant hammer struck the Delusion Breaking Flying Boat, and Dong Xuan Chen activated its shield as the blow sent it flying off course.
• Dong Xuan Chen showed Zhou Zheng, Zhu Jiuling, and Qian Yun Fengling images of the surrounding Winged Lifeforms and assigned Zhou Zheng to hold off their powerful leader.
• The four left the flying boat, and the Tall Lifeform accused them of taking Hearts of the World from dozens of ruined worlds.
• The Tall Lifeform ordered an attack, and the group charged together after realizing the Winged Lifeforms had no military formations.
• Zhu Jiuling transformed into his Original Body and slowed the attackers with his Time Divine Heart, while Qian Yun Fengling and Dong Xuan Chen struck down enemies.
• Zhou Zheng drew two Black Longswords and charged at the Tall Lifeform wielding twin hammers.

Zhou Zheng fought a Tall Lifeform wielding two Great Hammers and discovered that it had mastered Star Divine Heart and possessed extraordinary resilience. With Zhu Jiuling's support, Zhou Zheng repeatedly wounded the Tall Lifeform, but other lifeforms intervened and gave it time to recover, leaving the two enemies charging at each other again.

• Zhou Zheng approached the Tall Lifeform, which struck him with a Great Hammer and sent him flying tens of thousands of miles, but his Indestructible Space-Time Body limited the damage.
• Zhou Zheng charged again as Zhu Jiuling supported him, and Zhu Jiuling used Time Stop to freeze the Tall Lifeform.
• Zhou Zheng activated Annihilation and God Shatter, pierced the Tall Lifeform with both Blood Refinement Divine Weapons, and weakened it enough to fight back against its counterattack.
• More than a hundred lifeforms rushed Zhou Zheng and drove him away from the Tall Lifeform; Zhou Zheng killed seven or eight of them while the Tall Lifeform fully recovered.
• The Tall Lifeform charged Zhou Zheng again, and Zhou Zheng showed no fear as he rushed to meet it.

Zhou Zheng and his companions fought their way out of an encirclement of Deity-level lifeforms, with Zhou Zheng holding off the powerful Tall Lifeform until they escaped aboard the Delusion Breaking Flying Boat. Once safe, the group debated whether to continue their World Stone mission, which still required more than two hundred stones.

• Zhou Zheng used his Myriad Intent Secret Technique to fight the Tall Lifeform to a standstill while Zhu Jiuling sought protection from Dong Xuan Chen and Qian Yun Fengling.
• Dong Xuan Chen warned Zhou Zheng to avoid getting drawn into the fight, and Zhou Zheng gradually moved toward the opening in the encirclement.
• After nearly half a day of fighting, Qian Yun Fengling opened a gap, and the four escaped aboard the Delusion Breaking Flying Boat.
• Dong Xuan Chen thanked Zhou Zheng for holding off the Tall Lifeform, and Zhou Zheng replied that the others had made their escape possible.
• Zhu Jiuling asked whether they should keep searching for World Stones, and Dong Xuan Chen worried that giving up would bring a severe penalty while their mission remained incomplete.
• Zhou Zheng realized that the other Deities could not abandon the mission as casually as he could.

After decades of cautious searching, Zhou Zheng and his companions entered an unknown region of Spatial Turbulence where time flowed differently and their spatial markers vanished. They continued exploring, unable to return to their previous route.

• The four agreed to mark worlds and collect their World Stones later, relocating after clearing each region to avoid being cornered.
• Over fifty years passed, and Zhou Zheng advanced Myriad Intent to the Divine Heart realm without revealing his breakthrough to Zhu Jiuling and the others.
• After harvesting the worlds in one region, Dong Xuan Chen sped the Delusion Breaking Flying Boat toward another area.
• The flying boat crossed a layer of ripples, where Zhu Jiuling sensed that time flowed faster and Dong Xuan Chen found that his old spatial markers were gone.
• The team decided to explore the unknown land, but after crossing another layer of ripples, their new markers vanished too, leaving them unable to retrace their route.
