Ch. 1Lu Qingshan
Lu Qingshan reflected on his long cultivation and his plan to buy a World Master quota for enlightenment in the Initial Universe, while waiting for his stalled cheat to activate. His children then told him that his seventh son, Lu Hongyuan, had died on the extraterritorial battlefield while trying to earn a quota for him, leaving Lu Qingshan grieving.
- Lu Qingshan recalled his failed attempts to enter the core ranks of humanity's five great powers and his steady progress toward becoming an Immortal.
- Lu Qingshan estimated that his family could save enough to buy an Initial Universe enlightenment quota in about two hundred thousand years, and lamented that his cheat remained stuck loading.
- Lu Hongwen, Lu Wenyun, and another child came to tell Lu Qingshan that Lu Hongyuan had fallen on the extraterritorial battlefield.
- Lu Wenyun explained that Lu Hongyuan had gone to earn military merits for his father's enlightenment quota and had sent his final message before his life-token's aura disappeared.
- Lu Wenyun passed on Lu Hongyuan's bank account details and his request that the family care for his branch, along with his hope that Lu Qingshan would become an Immortal god.
