Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Dragon-Walking Lord asks Chaos City Lord to help search for a suitable lifeform that Xiao Yang could use to create a clone.
• Chaos City Lord defends Xiao Yang’s existing Heavenly Void Clone, arguing that its exceptional survival and escape abilities are more valuable than a powerful battle clone. Xiao Yang could use the clone while keeping his true body safely in the Primordial Secret Realm or Chaos City.
• Their discussion turns to Kedi, a former human genius who might have survived if he had possessed a clone-based lifeform. Both Universe Masters regret that they failed to protect him.
• Chaos City Lord reveals that one of the current batch of human geniuses possesses a clone secret technique. He is closely monitoring talented figures such as Luo Feng, Bolan, Hong, Thunder God, Rong Jun, and Ai Chen, though he believes most will likely peak at King-level or, at best, reach the Venerable level.
• A year passes while Xiao Yang remains in deep enlightenment within the Virtual Universe Origin Land.
• Xiao Yang makes major gains, especially in the seven Lower-tier Origin Laws he had previously neglected. Their comprehension rises to roughly the fifth or sixth level of the Celestial Bridge.
• His greatest improvement is not in the Time and Space Origin Laws, but in his ability to integrate the ten Origin Laws and eight fusion laws. He estimates that he can now clear the thirteenth level of the World Celestial Bridge.
• Xiao Yang awakens when Primal Ancestor speaks to him. Primal Ancestor explains that he still cannot physically appear, though he can transmit his voice and mobilize a small amount of Virtual Universe authority.
• The chapter ends with Primal Ancestor announcing that he wants to discuss Xiao Yang’s ancestral planet—Earth.

• Primal Ancestor: Has regained limited influence over the Virtual Universe. Though still unable to manifest physically, he can communicate and provide Xiao Yang with guidance.

Significant Themes

• Survival versus combat power: A clone’s ability to evade danger and preserve the true body may be more valuable than raw fighting strength.
• Regret and missed opportunities: The discussion of Kedi emphasizes the devastating consequences of failing to protect exceptional talent.
• The burden of genius: Xiao Yang’s immense potential makes him both a future pillar of humanity and a likely target for alien assassination.
• Accumulation and integration: True strength comes not merely from mastering individual laws, but from integrating them into a unified system.

Summary of “Primal Ancestor’s Vision”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Primal Ancestor reveals that he knows Earth exists and understands its possible connection to the unusually strong mental states and wills of Earth’s inhabitants.
• Xiao Yang reflects on how Primal Ancestor could have learned about Earth through the Virtual Universe, where Xiao Yang had previously discussed Earth’s mental-cultivation talent. Unlike Chaos City Lord, Primal Ancestor has the ability to observe everything occurring within the Virtual Universe.
• Realizing Earth’s secrecy can no longer be maintained, Xiao Yang immediately sends an avatar to register Earth under his name in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. He plans to use wealth and connections to complete the registration quickly, though he knows the outcome ultimately depends on Primal Ancestor’s intentions.
• Primal Ancestor reassures Xiao Yang that Earth will remain the property of Earthlings and confirms that he has already registered it under Xiao Yang’s name.
• Rather than attempting to seize Earth, Primal Ancestor proposes several cooperative options:
  • The Human Race may send an avatar to investigate Earth’s effects on mental state and willpower.
  • If the phenomenon cannot be replicated, the Human Race might request a limited number of opportunities for powerful bloodlines to give birth on Earth.
  • If Xiao Yang refuses this, the Human Race could instead establish a training system to nurture Earthlings with exceptional potential.
• Xiao Yang is deeply surprised by Primal Ancestor’s generosity and lack of selfish motives. He recognizes Primal Ancestor’s broader vision and his belief that Earthlings are equally part of the Human Race.
• Xiao Yang explains that Earth’s special effect has not yet been proven, but notes that many Earthlings historically possessed unusually strong mental states. He identifies himself, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God as prominent examples.
• Since Earth has been exposed, Xiao Yang decides that Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God should no longer conceal their talents. Their future achievements can raise Earth’s standing within the Human Race.

Character Developments

Significant Themes

• Protection of one’s homeland: Xiao Yang’s concern for Earth reflects the importance of preserving one’s origins and people.
• Selflessness versus exploitation: Primal Ancestor contrasts with powerful figures who would claim Earth for their descendants or factions. He regards Earthlings as fellow members of the Human Race rather than as tools.

• Exposure creating opportunity: Although Earth’s secret is compromised, Xiao Yang realizes that its revealed importance could lead to greater protection, resources, and recognition.
• Vision and leadership: Primal Ancestor’s willingness to respect Earth’s autonomy while supporting its development demonstrates his broad-minded leadership.

• Chaos City Lord informs Dragon-Walking Lord that Primal Ancestor considers Earth extremely important and has ordered him to investigate it. To avoid arousing suspicion, Chaos City Lord leaves the Thousand Treasures River in the Primordial Secret Realm as a decoy.
• He travels to the Solar System, strengthens Hu Yan Bo’s concealment technique, and makes Earth’s Dark Universe coordinates nearly impossible for even a Universe Overlord to discover.
• Upon arriving, Chaos City Lord notices Xiao Yang’s weak avatar but respects his privacy and does not question him about it.
• Chaos City Lord uses a powerful temporal technique to observe Earth’s history. He discovers that:

  • Certain periods of Xiao Yang’s history have been deliberately obscured.
  • Xiao Yang has repeatedly disappeared from his perception and obtained mysterious crops from unknown locations.
• Rather than interrogate Xiao Yang, Chaos City Lord accepts that his junior brother possesses extraordinary secrets and regards this as a positive opportunity.
• While studying Earth’s past, Chaos City Lord finds that Earth produced numerous ordinary humans with astonishingly powerful states of mind—some surpassing even Venerables.

• Respect for secrets: Chaos City Lord emphasizes the unspoken rule that even teachers and disciples should not pry into one another’s hidden opportunities.
• The tragedy of lost potential: Earth’s ancient geniuses possessed immense promise but died before cultivation could give them a future, creating a strong sense of regret and injustice.

• Concerned that such concealment must have been left by an extraordinarily powerful being, Chaos City Lord urgently contacts Giant Axe.
• Chaos City Lord informs Giant Axe that the Primordial Universe Will’s suppression of Primal Ancestor has weakened. Primal Ancestor can now briefly appear in the Virtual Universe Origin Land and communicate through the Virtual Universe.

• Chaos City Lord brings Giant Axe to meet Primal Ancestor in the Virtual Universe Origin Land. Primal Ancestor explains that Earth belongs to the Earthlings and should not be seized or controlled by the Human Race without their consent.
• Primal Ancestor instructs them to protect Earth while allowing Xiao Yang and the other Earthlings to determine its future. He further orders that a cultivation system tailored to mental state and will be developed, rather than forcing Earth to follow conventional cultivation paths.
• Xiao Yang privately summons Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God in Chaos City. They realize that something serious has happened, likely involving Earth.
• Xiao Yang reveals that Earth has been exposed. Although the others are alarmed, Xiao Yang reassures them that its exposure may not necessarily be bad.

Chapter Summary: Earth’s Future Plans

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang reveals that he has already purchased Earth and legally secured its ownership. This reassures the others, since Earth remains under the control of Earthlings rather than falling into outside hands.
• He explains how Earth’s location was discovered: not because of their identities or talents, but because their conversations in the Virtual Universe inadvertently revealed information about Earth’s value. Xiao Yang conceals the Primal Ancestor’s involvement, attributing the arrangements to the Chaos City Lord instead.
• Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God realize they must avoid discussing sensitive matters in the Virtual Universe in the future and should conduct important discussions in reality.
• Xiao Yang explains that the Human Race does not intend to seize Earth. Instead, it plans to nurture Earthlings and possibly send selected members of the Human Race to Earth to conceive descendants.
• The group debates whether Earth should be opened to a limited number of outsiders. Xiao Yang proposes allowing visitors under strict conditions, comparing the arrangement to developing Earth as a specialized tourism zone.
• The others agree that Earth’s sovereignty, laws, and the safety of ordinary Earthlings must remain protected. Xiao Yang promises to eliminate anyone who violates those conditions, while the Human Race will likely send powerful guards to defend the planet.
• By the end of the discussion, all three agree that Earth can safely open a somewhat larger number of slots.

• He successfully clears the eighth island but fails at the ninth, ending his challenge.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang: His importance to Earth’s future is emphasized. Although he does not need the financial rewards, Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God insist that he receive a share because he fundamentally changed Earth’s fate. He also recognizes that Hong and Thunder God surpass him in mental-state talent.

• Chaos City Lord expresses interest in seeing how Hong, Thunder God, and Xiao Yang will perform, especially because Xiao Yang and the others are believed to possess exceptionally strong mental states and willpower.
• Xiao Yang begins his own Illusion Sea challenge. His willpower and resistance to illusions have improved greatly through consuming Jianshou Mushrooms, though he remains worried that his consciousness is weaker than Hong’s and Thunder God’s.
• On the first island, Xiao Yang is briefly trapped in an illusion involving Chen Jian and a hospital. He quickly recognizes the inconsistency and breaks the illusion almost immediately.
• Xiao Yang proceeds rapidly through the islands, matching Luo Feng’s achievement by clearing the eighth island. He then advances to the ninth island faster than Luo Feng did.
• The ninth island subjects him to overwhelming willpower pressure. Xiao Yang struggles physically and mentally, as the power of his consciousness is insufficient to fully support his formidable willpower.
• The illusion takes the form of Xiao Yang’s high-school classroom. His former teacher catches him sleeping and confiscates a smartwatch displaying references to Luo Feng, the Golden-Horned Beast, Hong, and Chaos City Lord.
• This causes Xiao Yang to remember his transmigration into the world of Swallowed Star. Once he realizes the scene is an illusion, he uses his mental force to form a spear and pierce the illusory world, destroying it.
• Xiao Yang successfully clears the ninth island and flies toward the tenth. The observers recognize that he has reached the peak of World Lord-level willpower, though they believe he is unlikely to overcome the tenth island, which requires Immortal-level willpower.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang: Demonstrates exceptional willpower, rapid judgment, and strong resistance to psychological illusions. Despite the weakness of his consciousness, he remains calm under pressure and uses his memories of transmigration to break the ninth island’s illusion. His performance confirms that his willpower has reached the limits of the World Lord level.
• Luo Feng: Though not present during Xiao Yang’s challenge, Luo Feng’s earlier achievement establishes the standard Xiao Yang matches by clearing the eighth island. His performance is also praised as extraordinary for someone at the Domain Lord level.

• Darkness Lord and the other supreme beings: Shift from admiration of Luo Feng to surprise and approval of Xiao Yang’s strength, recognizing his potential in soul-related techniques.
• Dragon-Walking Lord: Offers the most realistic assessment, predicting that Xiao Yang will probably fail on the tenth island because of the strain already visible during the ninth.

Significant Themes

• Willpower versus cultivation level: Both Luo Feng and Xiao Yang possess willpower far beyond what their current cultivation realms would normally suggest.
• Consciousness as the foundation of power: The chapter compares willpower to a general and consciousness to soldiers, emphasizing that powerful willpower cannot be used effectively if the underlying consciousness is too weak.
• Memory and self-awareness defeating illusion: Xiao Yang escapes the deepest illusion not through brute force alone, but by recognizing contradictions and recovering the truth of his identity.
• Potential and limits: Xiao Yang’s achievement reveals extraordinary talent, while the tenth island establishes the boundary between World Lord and Immortal-level willpower.

Chapter Summary: “Giant Axe and Chaos City Lord’s Shock”

• Xiao Yang discusses the difference between strength and mental state, praising Hong and Thunder God for possessing far stronger wills despite being weaker in combat and law comprehension.

• Thunder God volunteers to test the Illusion Sea. To everyone’s surprise, he advances effortlessly through the early islands, barely pausing even at the eighth.
• Thunder God ultimately reaches the fourteenth island before being defeated. This means a Cosmic-level cultivator has displayed an astonishingly powerful will, potentially approaching or surpassing the level expected of much stronger experts.
• Thunder God expresses regret, believing that with a higher realm he could have gone farther. He then encourages Hong to attempt the trial.
• Hong enters the Illusion Sea, leaving Chaos City Lord, Giant Axe, Darkness Lord, Youhou Lord, Xiao Yang, and Luo Feng eager to see whether he can surpass Thunder God.

Character Developments

• Luo Feng: Realizes that mental state has a far greater influence on resisting illusions than he previously understood. He is shocked by Thunder God’s performance and recognizes the need to strengthen his own will.
• Thunder God: Reveals an extraordinary talent for mental state and will. His pure heart allows him to pass the early islands with ease and reach the fourteenth island, greatly exceeding everyone’s expectations.

• Darkness Lord: Recognizes Thunder God’s suitability for the illusion-based Martial Warrior path and appreciates his rare talent.

• Hidden potential: Hong and Thunder God’s abilities reveal that Earth possesses talents far beyond what its current realm or reputation would suggest.
• Earth’s extraordinary importance: The concentration of multiple exceptional geniuses on Earth leads Giant Axe and Chaos City Lord to suspect that Earth’s existence may be connected to the Primordial Universe Will.
• Self-improvement: Xiao Yang and Luo Feng both recognize the need to temper their wills rather than relying solely on law comprehension or battle strength.
• The limits of realm: Thunder God’s result suggests that a low cultivation realm does not necessarily restrict one’s willpower, though his own words imply that a higher realm could allow him to advance even farther.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang and Luo Feng compare their willpower, with Xiao Yang modestly acknowledging Luo Feng’s advantage.
• Xiao Yang praises Hong and Thunder God, prompting Luo Feng to observe them more closely.
• Thunder God confidently challenges Xiao Yang and Luo Feng before proving his words through his performance.

Chapter Summary: “Almost Cleared It!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Hong completes his trial in Illusion Sea with astonishing ease. Unlike Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Thunder God—whose progress slows on later islands—Hong spends roughly the same amount of time on every island.
• Hong successfully passes the twentieth island, matching the achievement of his counterpart in the original timeline, but fails at the twenty-first island.
• His result shocks Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Thunder God, who had not expected Hong to reach such a level without the years of experience and training his original counterpart possessed.
• Chaos City Lord suddenly appears and orders Hong to attempt Illusion Sea again. Suspecting a possible problem with the trial, he has an Illusion Sea administrator inspect it.
• The administrator confirms that Illusion Sea is functioning correctly. Chaos City Lord then orders him to keep Hong’s performance secret.
• Hong again passes the twentieth island but fails at the twenty-first, where the Venerable-level willpower impact instantly shatters his consciousness.
• Chaos City Lord asks Hong how he managed to pass the twentieth island so effortlessly. Hong reveals that his state of mind has reached the third stage, “Infinite Heart.”
• Hong explains that his infinite state of mind allows him to contain and withstand overwhelming pressure, but because he has only recently entered this level, he cannot yet pass the twenty-first island.

Character Developments

• Hong: Demonstrates extraordinary willpower and mental resilience despite being only a Cosmic-level cultivator. His state of mind has reached “Infinite Heart,” placing him far beyond what his cultivation level would suggest. He remains humble and open about his ability, while also showing ambition by attempting to conquer the twenty-first island.
• Xiao Yang: Reacts with surprise but remains composed. He understands the significance of Hong’s achievement and is confident that Earth’s protection is secure because of Primal Ancestor’s authority.
• Luo Feng and Thunder God: Are deeply shocked by Hong’s performance. Their amazement turns into concern over whether the Human Race might reconsider its agreement regarding Earth, but they relax after Chaos City Lord reassures them.
• Chaos City Lord: Is visibly astonished and personally investigates whether Illusion Sea has malfunctioned. His reaction emphasizes how exceptional Hong’s willpower is, since even some Invincible King-level experts and newly advanced Venerables cannot pass the twentieth or twenty-first islands.
• Illusion Sea Administrator: Confirms that the trial is operating normally and is ordered to keep Hong’s results confidential.

Significant Themes

• Willpower surpassing cultivation level: Hong’s mental strength is vastly greater than what would normally be expected from a Cosmic-level expert.
• The power of state of mind: “Infinite Heart” enables Hong to absorb and contain immense pressure rather than being crushed by it.
• Hidden potential and restraint: The chapter reinforces Xiao Yang’s earlier warnings that Earth’s members must conceal their true abilities, since their exceptional talents could attract dangerous attention.
• Trust and political security: Luo Feng and Thunder God fear that Earth’s value may cause the Human Race to break its agreement, but Chaos City Lord assures them that Primal Ancestor’s decision will be honored.
• The limits of achievement: Passing the twentieth island is already extraordinary, but the twenty-first represents Venerable-level willpower and remains beyond Hong’s current ability.

• Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Thunder God witness Hong’s achievement and react with disbelief.
• Chaos City Lord directly tests Hong’s results, consults the Illusion Sea administrator, and insists on secrecy.
• Chaos City Lord reassures Luo Feng and Thunder God that Earth’s arrangements will not change.
• Hong explains the nature of his Infinite Heart to Chaos City Lord, revealing both the source of his success and the reason he still failed at the twenty-first island.

Chapter Summary: Cultivation Realms of the Heart

Key Plot Points and Events

• Luo Feng asks Hong to explain the meaning of the “Infinite Heart” realm, prompting Hong to introduce his personal classification of heart cultivation.
• Hong describes three realms:
  1. Clarifying the Heart and Revealing One’s Nature—directly perceiving one’s true heart and eliminating inner confusion.
  2. Unity of Heaven and Man—the harmonious union of opposing qualities, such as firmness and gentleness, also called the “Innocent Heart.”
  3. An Empty and Boundless Heart—a heart capable of encompassing everything and resisting the influence of any will.
• Hong judges that Luo Feng and Xiao Yang are in the first realm, though Luo Feng’s heart is more decisive and sharply tempered.
• Hong identifies Thunder God as having reached the second realm.
• Darkness Lord appears unexpectedly and challenges Hong’s hierarchy, arguing that the three realms are not superior or inferior to one another, but represent different paths with potentially infinite limits.
• Hong accepts this correction and respectfully acknowledges Darkness Lord’s insight.
• Darkness Lord then accepts Hong as his personal disciple and takes him away.
• Chaos City Lord orders Luo Feng, Xiao Yang, and Thunder God to keep Darkness Lord’s appearance and acceptance of Hong secret before taking them elsewhere.

Character Developments

• Hong demonstrates remarkable insight into heart cultivation despite being only a Cosmic-level being. He is humble enough to revise his theory after Darkness Lord’s observation and becomes Darkness Lord’s disciple.
• Luo Feng is recognized as having a highly refined and decisive heart, likened to a bright mirror and a sharp blade. His relentless pursuit of the ultimate gives him an advantage in heart cultivation.
• Xiao Yang openly acknowledges that his heart realm is weaker than Luo Feng’s. His extensive knowledge and tendency to consider too many consequences have made him cautious and less decisive, though his strong will allowed him to pass the ninth island.
• Thunder God is revealed to have attained the second heart realm, Unity of Heaven and Man.
• Darkness Lord reinforces his mysterious nature and reveals profound understanding of heart cultivation. His acceptance of Hong highlights his exceptional ability as a teacher.
• Chaos City Lord shows trust in Hong’s potential and emphasizes the importance of protecting Darkness Lord’s identity and actions.

Significant Themes

• Heart cultivation and self-knowledge: True strength depends not only on power but on understanding and refining one’s inner nature.
• Decisiveness versus excessive caution: Luo Feng’s unwavering resolve contrasts with Xiao Yang’s tendency to overthink, showing that knowledge can be both an advantage and a source of hesitation.
• Balance and harmony: The second realm emphasizes that true perfection comes from combining opposites—strength with gentleness, firmness with flexibility, and offense with defense.
• The limits of classification: Darkness Lord suggests that spiritual development cannot be reduced to a simple hierarchy. Different paths may possess different forms of infinite potential.
• Humility and learning: Hong’s willingness to accept Darkness Lord’s correction demonstrates that genuine cultivation requires openness to new perspectives.
• Secrecy and hidden identities: Darkness Lord’s concealed presence and Chaos City Lord’s warning reinforce the importance of hidden power and confidential knowledge within the human race.

Important Character Interactions

• Luo Feng and Hong: Luo Feng asks questions and receives an explanation of the heart realms, while Hong evaluates his spiritual state favorably.
• Hong and Xiao Yang: Hong honestly compares their heart realms, and Xiao Yang accepts the criticism without resentment, recognizing the truth behind it.
• Hong and Thunder God: Hong uses Thunder God as an example of someone who has achieved the higher state of Unity of Heaven and Man.
• Darkness Lord and Hong: Darkness Lord challenges Hong’s classification, prompting Hong to reconsider his understanding. He then accepts Hong as his disciple.
• Darkness Lord and Chaos City Lord: Their exchange confirms their relationship as junior and senior brothers and shows Chaos City Lord’s approval of Hong’s new apprenticeship.
• Chaos City Lord and the younger generation: He warns Luo Feng, Xiao Yang, and Thunder God to keep Darkness Lord’s appearance and recruitment of Hong secret, then directs them to follow him.

Chapter Summary: Earthlings’ Training Methods

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Thunder God meet Chaos City Lord in his private space.
• Chaos City Lord praises their exceptional mental states, wills, and law talents, though he notes that they still fall below Hong and Xiao Yang.
• He casually reveals that he knows Luo Feng once possessed a Golden-Horned Beast. Luo Feng is alarmed, but Chaos City Lord reassures him that the race will not interfere with his secrets and considers it only a moderate opportunity.
• Chaos City Lord offers both Luo Feng and Thunder God potential opportunities to become disciples of Universe Masters:
  • Luo Feng must pass Primordial Sky-Passing Mountain at the Cosmic level.
  • Thunder God must pass the fifteenth island of Illusion Sea at the Cosmic level.
  • They may also attract other Universe Masters through exceptional performance.
• Because becoming Universe Master disciples would provide Earth with powerful protection, both Luo Feng and Thunder God become determined to work harder.
• Chaos City Lord asks Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, Thunder God, and later Hong for suggestions on how to train Earthlings, particularly in their strongest traits: mental state and willpower.
• Hong proposes that Earthlings should not be given excessively powerful bloodlines or raised in overly comfortable conditions. Instead, they should experience pressure and hardship, since Earth’s strongest-willed individuals historically emerged during turbulent periods.
• Chaos City Lord decides to establish an experimental training zone on Earth. If successful, the method will be expanded throughout Earth.
• He also orders Jia Yi, Mohanderson, and other Earth geniuses to undergo Illusion Sea testing so their mental states and wills can be evaluated and potentially developed by the Virtual Universe Company.
• Afterward, Chaos City Lord quickly begins implementing the plan.

Character Developments

• Luo Feng: Initially panics when Chaos City Lord exposes his Golden-Horned Beast secret, revealing how carefully he has guarded it. Once reassured, he gains renewed motivation from the chance to become a Universe Master’s disciple.
• Thunder God: Receives recognition for his exceptionally strong mental state and will. He is given a concrete cultivation goal—passing the fifteenth Illusion Sea island—and becomes more determined to improve.
• Hong: His superior mental state and will are reaffirmed. He demonstrates wisdom and insight by proposing a hardship-based training method for Earthlings, and he has already been accepted as a disciple by a mysterious Universe Master.
• Xiao Yang: Continues to serve as the key figure whose talent and status protect Earth. His influence allows Earthlings to receive extraordinary opportunities rather than being occupied or exploited.
• Chaos City Lord: Shows both insight and practical decisiveness. He recognizes Earthlings’ unique potential, listens to Hong’s proposal, and immediately begins arranging experiments and evaluations.

Significant Themes

• Strength as the foundation of security: The chapter emphasizes that Earth’s safety depends ultimately on power and talent rather than goodwill alone.
• Hardship builds character: Strong mental states and wills are portrayed as products of struggle, pressure, and adversity rather than comfort or inherited advantages.
• Talent creates opportunity: Earth’s discovery becomes beneficial because Xiao Yang and the others possess exceptional abilities that attract the protection and attention of powerful beings.
• Mentorship and institutional support: Becoming disciples of Universe Masters and receiving customized training represent major steps toward both individual advancement and Earth’s collective security.
• Balance between bloodline and temperament: Excessively strong bloodlines may produce rapid physical growth without corresponding mental maturity, making controlled development and testing necessary.

Character Interactions

• Chaos City Lord directly evaluates Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Thunder God, granting Luo Feng and Thunder God specific challenges for earning discipleship.
• His revelation about Luo Feng’s Golden-Horned Beast briefly creates tension, but his reassurance restores Luo Feng’s confidence.
• Hong’s arrival shifts the discussion toward Earth’s broader future. Chaos City Lord seeks his opinion because of his superior willpower and understanding of Earth’s history.
• Hong’s proposal causes Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Thunder God to reflect on how Earth’s past crises produced its strongest individuals.
• The three later acknowledge that all their new opportunities—including Hong’s discipleship, the Illusion Sea tests, and Earth’s customized training plan—exist primarily because of Xiao Yang’s extraordinary talent and influence.
• Xiao Yang concludes by urging them to cultivate diligently, reinforcing the chapter’s central message that strength is the ultimate basis for survival and protection.

Chapter Summary: “Supreme Council”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang’s Avatar takes responsibility for sending Jia Yi and the others to the Illusion Sea for testing, while Xiao Yang himself brings heroes from Earth’s original history into the Virtual Universe Company.
• These resurrected heroes, despite being only at the Stellar level and relying on Xiao Yang’s resources, display extraordinary talents in mental state and willpower. Some even rival or surpass the company’s Core Geniuses.
• Xiao Yang also brings over many other historical figures, including some disabled individuals. Although a few show promise, most are considerably weaker than Jia Yi’s group and receive only limited resources.
• With Primal Ancestor accepting him as a disciple, Xiao Yang becomes less cautious about revealing his unusual abilities. His Tianxu Avatar consumes Level-7 crops that improve Law affinity, and Xiao Yang begins openly selling Level-5 Chili Peppers containing insights into the Fire Origin Law.
• The sale of these rare crops earns Xiao Yang enormous amounts of Universe Coins, potentially helping Domain Lords break through bottlenecks.
• More than a dozen years pass. The Solar System becomes heavily developed, with spacecraft coming and going and the Virtual Universe Company installing a powerful defensive system. A golden palace also appears nearby.
• Giant Axe arrives at the Solar System and, together with Chaos City Lord, investigates Earth’s history by freezing time and rewinding the surrounding space-time.
• They discover that Earth has shattered and regenerated multiple times. At the beginning of the Solar System’s existence, they witness Sitting Mountain Guest personally arranging the planets and creating Earth’s unusual environment.
• Sitting Mountain Guest’s actions reveal that Earth was deliberately designed to nurture a new race. Souls born on Earth are influenced by the planet, granting unusually strong dispositions and willpower.
• Earth and the Solar System function as a single interconnected entity, meaning Earth cannot be moved independently from the Solar System.
• Having confirmed Earth’s origin and secrets, Giant Axe and Chaos City Lord decide to convene the Supreme Council.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang grows bolder after becoming Primal Ancestor’s disciple. He no longer hides as many of his special abilities and begins exploiting the value of his high-level crops more openly.
• Earth’s historical heroes are given a new opportunity through resurrection and recruitment. Their strong mental and spiritual qualities establish them as potential future talents.
• Giant Axe demonstrates both immense power and a reflective side. He is impressed by Earth’s history and regrets that many of its ancient sages are no longer alive.
• Chaos City Lord becomes deeply invested in uncovering Earth’s origin and reacts strongly when he recognizes Sitting Mountain Guest.
• Sitting Mountain Guest is revealed as the creator or guide behind Earth and the Solar System’s special arrangement.
• Primal Ancestor’s situation improves significantly: the Primordial Universe’s suppression of him has weakened, and he has accepted a personal disciple, suggesting that his eventual return or increased freedom may be possible.

Significant Themes

• Hidden origins and cosmic design: Earth is not a naturally formed world but a deliberately constructed environment with a specific purpose.
• Potential shaped by environment: Earth’s influence strengthens the willpower and character of those born there, suggesting that greatness can be cultivated through surroundings.
• Rediscovery and second chances: The resurrection of historical heroes gives people who died in the past a chance to develop their talents in a new era.
• Growing power and reduced restraint: Xiao Yang’s increasing confidence reflects his rising status and the protection provided by Primal Ancestor.
• Hope for the human race: The revelations about Earth, the recruitment of talented heroes, and Primal Ancestor’s improved condition all suggest a stronger future for humanity.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang’s Avatars divide responsibilities: one handles the Illusion Sea testing, while another consumes law-enhancing crops.
• Xiao Yang interacts indirectly with the Virtual Universe Company by supplying talented resurrected heroes and valuable cultivation resources.
• Giant Axe and Chaos City Lord cooperate closely in investigating Earth. Giant Axe provides the overwhelming power needed to freeze and rewind the Solar System’s history, while Chaos City Lord recognizes Sitting Mountain Guest and interprets the discovery.
• At the Supreme Council, Desolate Mirror Lord questions Dragon-Walking Lord about the meeting’s purpose. Dragon-Walking hints that the announcement will bring good news.
• Giant Axe gives the announcements to Chaos City Lord, who reveals that the Primordial Universe’s suppression of Primal Ancestor has weakened and that Primal Ancestor has accepted a disciple. The revelation causes excitement and astonishment among the assembled Universe Masters.

Chapter Summary: The Excited Human Race Universe Masters

The Human Race’s Universe Masters gather in the Virtual Universe after learning that the Primordial Universe’s suppression of the Primal Ancestor has weakened. The Primal Ancestor had once led the Human Race through countless battles and was the primary reason it became a Peak Race, so all the Universe Masters hold him in tremendous respect.
Chaos City Lord explains that the Primal Ancestor can now briefly appear in the Virtual Universe and transmit his voice from time to time. When the Primal Ancestor speaks directly to them, the Universe Masters become deeply emotional. They eagerly ask about his condition and whether he can finally be rescued. His release would greatly strengthen the Human Race, potentially allowing it to reclaim vast territory and restore the dominance it possessed when the Primal Ancestor was still active.
The Primal Ancestor reveals that the weakening of his suppression is probably connected to his new disciple, Xiao Yang. He explains how he accepted Xiao Yang, shocking the Universe Masters when they learn that the suppression weakened immediately afterward. They inspect Xiao Yang’s achievements and discover that he is extraordinarily gifted: he passed the sixth level of the Celestial Bridge upon first comprehending the Chaos Stele, later advanced directly to the twelfth level, and possesses the Human Race’s first World Lord Bloodline. Even more astonishingly, the Primordial Universe personally evolved and improved his bloodline.
Because the Primordial Universe appears to favor Xiao Yang so strongly, the Universe Masters jokingly suspect that he is its “illegitimate son.” They begin discussing whether investing more heavily in Xiao Yang might cause the Primordial Universe to weaken its suppression of the Primal Ancestor even further. They agree that Xiao Yang is already worthy of intense cultivation because of his talent, and his connection to the Primal Ancestor gives them an additional reason to support him.
The Primal Ancestor then takes the opportunity to guide the Universe Masters in their cultivation. His broad knowledge of nearly every cultivation path—necessary for creating the Virtual Universe—allows him to provide valuable instruction, further exciting and encouraging the Human Race’s experts.
Afterward, Chaos City Lord introduces a second major topic, also related to Xiao Yang: his homeworld, Earth. He explains Earth’s newly confirmed special function to the other experts. The Universe Masters are astonished by Earth’s importance and connect it to Sitting Mountain Guest, noting that he had previously cultivated the Yan God Race and may now have also created or shaped the Earth Lineage.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Primal Ancestor: Regains limited communication with the Human Race and demonstrates that his influence remains immense. He accepts Xiao Yang as a disciple and provides guidance to the Universe Masters.
• Xiao Yang: Is revealed to possess extraordinary talent, a unique World Lord Bloodline, and a mysterious connection to the Primordial Universe. His importance to the Human Race increases dramatically.
• Chaos City Lord: Acts as the main spokesperson, explaining the Primal Ancestor’s condition and revealing Earth’s significance.
• Human Race Universe Masters: Move from despair over the Primal Ancestor’s imprisonment to excitement and hope. They become determined to nurture Xiao Yang and investigate whether doing so can further weaken the suppression.
• Sitting Mountain Guest: Though absent, his influence is discussed through the Yan God Race and the mysterious Earth Lineage.

Significant Themes

• Hope after prolonged oppression: The Primal Ancestor’s improved ability to communicate gives the Human Race renewed hope of freeing him.
• The importance of legacy and mentorship: The Primal Ancestor’s guidance has shaped the Human Race’s rise, and Xiao Yang’s discipleship may continue that legacy.
• Destiny and cosmic favor: Xiao Yang’s bloodline evolution and effect on the Primordial Universe suggest that he has an unusual role in the universe’s broader design.
• Collective advancement: The Human Race sees Xiao Yang not merely as an individual genius but as a potential key to restoring the race’s former strength.
• Mystery surrounding Earth: Earth’s confirmed function hints that Xiao Yang’s origins and the Earth Lineage are connected to powerful, hidden forces.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Human Race discusses the Yan God Race, which originally branched from humanity. Its patriarch, Yan Emperor, betrayed the Human Race after attacking fellow Universe Masters for treasures.
• Yan Emperor took the Yan God Race into a Universe Secret Realm, partly to prevent a stronger successor from emerging. This decision reduced the race’s potential because Universe Territories provide far more favorable conditions for lifeform evolution than secret realms.
• The Human Race regrets losing the Yan God Race’s exceptional talent, recognizing that the race might otherwise have produced additional Universe Masters.
• Chaos City Lord explains Earth’s special ability: it can nurture descendants with unusually strong temperament and willpower. Hong’s achievements in the Illusion Sea demonstrate the results of this effect.
• Several Universe Masters with descendants, including Void Gold Lord and Desolate Mirror Lord, become eager to send pregnant women to Earth to produce talented offspring.
• Primal Ancestor declares that Earth belongs to the Earthlings and leaves control of its arrangements to Xiao Yang and the other Earthlings. However, Earth will temporarily offer one hundred million places to Human Race factions, with fees used for reconstruction, protection, and the nurturing of Earthlings.
• Aliens and visitors are forbidden from disturbing ordinary Earth residents and will be punished if they violate this rule.
• The Universe Masters discuss potential disciples for Thunder God. Void Gold Lord offers to take him, but Youhou Lord argues that the Virtual Universe Company should nurture its own geniuses. Thunder God’s exceptional willpower and temperament make him a promising candidate.
• After allocating Earth’s available slots, the meeting ends.
• Xiao Yang takes advantage of his elevated status as Primal Ancestor’s disciple to purchase Universe Crystals more efficiently. By selling many Level 5 Chili Peppers, he obtains Universe Crystals worth ten billion Chaos Units.
• He returns to Earth, enters the Game World, and uses all the crystals to complete the top-up requirement. Ignoring the newly reopened Back Hill event, he immediately claims the available Mysterious Crop from the top-up event.

Character Developments

• Yan Emperor is portrayed as deeply selfish and jealous. His fear of being surpassed caused him to limit the Yan God Race’s development and ultimately betray humanity.
• Primal Ancestor demonstrates absolute authority and fairness by affirming Earth’s ownership by the Earthlings while still allowing the broader Human Race limited access.
• Chaos City Lord acts as the practical administrator, explaining Earth’s function and establishing the rules and costs for using its benefits.
• Xiao Yang gains considerable political and economic influence as Primal Ancestor’s disciple. His increased authority allows him to acquire resources on a massive scale and rapidly complete his Game World objective.
• Hong is recognized as an outstanding genius because of his powerful willpower and temperament, becoming Darkness Lord’s disciple.
• Thunder God emerges as another promising genius, attracting the attention of multiple Universe Masters because he could follow a willpower-focused cultivation path.
• Luo Feng is acknowledged as talented, but his current temperament and willpower are considered less exceptional than Hong’s and Thunder God’s.

Significant Themes

• Selfishness versus collective growth: Yan Emperor sacrifices his race’s future to protect his own status, contrasting with the Human Race’s effort to use Earth for the benefit of the entire civilization.
• Nurture and environment: The chapter emphasizes that a lifeform’s environment strongly affects its potential. Earth and Universe Territories can cultivate greater talent than secret realms or divine kingdoms.
• Authority and responsibility: Although Xiao Yang and the Earthlings control Earth, they must balance their ownership with the interests of the larger Human Race.
• Talent beyond bloodline: Earth’s influence strengthens temperament and willpower, suggesting that greatness depends not only on bloodline or law talent but also on mentality and inner strength.
• Rapid advancement through resources: Xiao Yang’s elevated status and accumulated wealth allow him to progress quickly, showing how power and authority can accelerate cultivation and mission completion.

Character Interactions

• Human Race powerhouses collectively condemn Yan Emperor’s betrayal and discuss the damage his selfish decisions caused.
• Void Gold Lord and Desolate Mirror Lord eagerly propose using Earth to produce stronger descendants.
• Primal Ancestor firmly establishes Earth’s sovereignty, while Chaos City Lord presents the practical terms for Human Race access.
• Void Gold Lord offers to accept Thunder God as his disciple, but Youhou Lord counters that the Virtual Universe Company should raise and recruit its own talents.
• Xiao Yang acts independently after the meeting, using his authority and resources to complete the top-up event and claim the Mysterious Crop.

Chapter Summary: “Level-8 Crops!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After Xiao Yang claims a reward, the requirements for the top-up event increase dramatically from ten billion to one million billion Chaos Units, but he ignores this change.
• He searches the warehouse for crops above Level 7 and discovers his first Level-8 crop: the Level-8 Ninefold Void-Returning Fruit.
• The fruit permanently grants the innate secret technique Ninefold Void Return to whoever consumes it.
• Ninefold Void Return reduces incoming physical attacks to one percent of their original strength, up to attacks from Void True God-level beings.
• Xiao Yang compares the ability to powerful armor treasures and realizes it can stack with armor, potentially reducing damage to one hundred-thousandth or even one ten-millionth of its original power.
• He decides to give the fruit to his Heavenly Void Clone, whose lack of a soul already protects it from soul attacks. The new ability will greatly strengthen its defenses against physical attacks.
• Xiao Yang purchases a gathering permit for the reopened Back Hill event so his avatars can participate with him.
• He buys a discounted villa skin but chooses not to draw more prizes, preferring to save his Voucher Points for potentially superior skins.
• Returning to his residence in Chaos City, he summons the Heavenly Void Clone into the Game World and prepares the fruit for consumption.
• Worried that the fruit’s energy might be overwhelming, Xiao Yang checks the warehouse’s instructions and learns that he only needs to take one bite.
• The Heavenly Void Clone transforms into a gigantic beast and swallows the enormous fruit whole in one bite.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang becomes increasingly confident in the potential of the Game World’s crops. The Level-8 fruit confirms that crops can permanently grant innate secret techniques, not merely temporary effects.
• His strategic thinking is emphasized as he carefully chooses the Heavenly Void Clone rather than his true body. He prioritizes the clone’s role as a life-preserving backup and maximizes its already formidable survivability.
• Xiao Yang also demonstrates greater restraint, choosing to conserve Voucher Points instead of continuously pursuing more Level-7 crops.

Significant Themes

• Power progression: The discovery of a Level-8 crop marks a major step beyond Xiao Yang’s previous achievements.
• Strategic resource allocation: Xiao Yang evaluates who should consume the fruit and weighs permanent abilities against existing treasures.
• Survival and self-preservation: Strengthening the Heavenly Void Clone reflects Xiao Yang’s emphasis on ensuring that at least one version of himself can survive dangerous encounters.
• Limits and future potential: Although Ninefold Void Return is extremely powerful, it has clear limits against higher-level beings, leaving room for even stronger crops and abilities in the future.
• Game-world advantages: The chapter reinforces that the Game World can provide abilities unavailable through ordinary cultivation or treasures.

Character Interactions

• There are no direct conversations between characters in the chapter.
• Xiao Yang’s main “interaction” is with the Game World’s warehouse and event system, which provides information about the fruit, its consumption method, and its limitations.
• His decision to grant the fruit to the Heavenly Void Clone highlights the relationship between Xiao Yang and his avatar: he treats the clone as an essential extension of himself and deliberately equips it for maximum survival.

Chapter Summary: “True World Chaos Stele!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang’s Heavenly Void Clone completes its transformation after being surrounded by a gentle energy. Gray secret patterns appear on both its body and energy core.
• The transformed clone gains a new ability: it can create a Tianxu Avatar with 80% of its strength.
• Xiao Yang tests the avatar by attacking it with Boundless and Ninefold Void Return. Although the attack could seriously injure or kill most Domain Lords—even ninth-level ones—the avatar survives, only reaching the brink of death before Xiao Yang dismisses it.
• Impressed by the clone’s greatly enhanced defense, Xiao Yang returns it from the Game World to Chaos City and stores it in his Inner World.
• Xiao Yang then goes to the City Lord Mansion to study the true World Chaos Stele, which differs from the incomplete imitation previously available to the Human Race.
• Guided by a special token, he enters a hidden space guarded by powerful Immortals. Inside, the Ten Origin Laws and Eight Fusion Laws are visibly manifested.
• He discovers that the true World Chaos Stele is enormous, ten thousand meters tall, and contains only one massive illustration.
• Behind it lies the origin land of the Initial Universe. The stele’s illustration depicts a central Universe Origin surrounded by 10,081 distinct worlds, with the Ten Origin Laws and Eight Fusion Laws fully and harmoniously integrated.
• Xiao Yang becomes completely absorbed in studying the profound illustration.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang: Gains confidence in the Heavenly Void Clone’s improved defensive power and advances toward deeper understanding of the universe’s fundamental laws. He also demonstrates increased status by receiving unrestricted access to the true World Chaos Stele as the Primal Ancestor’s personal disciple.
• Heavenly Void Clone: Undergoes a major transformation, developing powerful secret patterns and the ability to summon an exceptionally durable Tianxu Avatar.
• Primal Ancestor: His legacy is shown to be far more profound than the ordinary Chaos Stele suggests. He has specifically warned Xiao Yang not to depend on the true stele constantly, emphasizing independent thought and personal comprehension.
• Chaos City Lord and the guarding Immortals: Their cooperation and noninterference reflect Xiao Yang’s special authorization and elevated position within the Human Race.

Significant Themes

• Growth through transformation: The Heavenly Void Clone’s evolution demonstrates the dramatic increase in power that can result from mastering higher-level techniques.
• Defense versus overwhelming strength: The avatar’s survival against Xiao Yang’s devastating attack highlights the importance of defense and resilience, not merely offensive power.
• Independent understanding: The Primal Ancestor’s warning stresses that true progress requires struggling with questions personally rather than relying too easily on external guidance.
• The structure of the universe: The true World Chaos Stele presents a unified vision in which the Origin Laws, Fusion Laws, worlds, and Universe Origin are interconnected.
• Inheritance and destiny: Xiao Yang’s unique access confirms that he is the only person in countless eras qualified to inherit the Primal Ancestor’s legacy.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang directly tests the transformed Heavenly Void Clone’s Tianxu Avatar, allowing the clone’s improved defense to be measured against his own powerful attack.
• The Primal Ancestor’s earlier instruction continues to influence Xiao Yang’s actions as he balances seeking guidance with developing his own understanding.
• The City Lord Mansion’s guards recognize Xiao Yang’s authority and allow him to pass without obstruction, showing the trust placed in him by the Chaos City Lord.
• Xiao Yang’s encounter with the true World Chaos Stele is less a conversation than a profound intellectual and spiritual interaction, as he becomes immersed in its complete depiction of the universe’s laws.

Chapter Summary: “Earth’s Changes”

Key Plot Points and Events

• During Xiao Yang’s seclusion, Earth undergoes major development. A floating city is constructed above the central Pacific Ocean, where one hundred million settlement slots are quickly allocated to wealthy and influential humans from across the universe.
• To protect Earth’s population and resources, Primal Ancestor personally orders aliens not to interfere with Earthlings. New laws prohibit non-Earthlings from purchasing land, while marriage regulations and property transactions are monitored through the Virtual Universe to prevent people from exploiting loopholes and obtaining extra settlement slots.
• Youhou Lord is assigned to guard Earth, ensuring that Xiao Yang no longer needs to worry about invasions.
• The Virtual Universe Company begins an experiment in Australia, creating harsh, specialized environments to test whether Earthlings can develop stronger mental states and produce more powerful geniuses. Earth’s bloodline enhancement is temporarily withheld, and some suppression is deliberately maintained so Earthlings will not become dependent or complacent.
• After months of studying the True World Chaos Stele, Xiao Yang makes tremendous progress. He believes he can pass the thirteenth level of the Celestial Bridge and subsequently succeeds, though the achievement remains secret—even Bafin is unaware of it.
• Xiao Yang also clears the Cosmic-level Primordial Sky-Passing Mountain. Unlike earlier challenges, he now uses the Celestial Bridge only to evaluate his law comprehension, since he no longer needs points or additional Chaos Stele opportunities.
• He returns to seclusion while sending an avatar to participate in the Mountain Foraging Event.
• Ten days before the current Genius Battle cohort is scheduled to leave Chaos City, Nine Swords Venerable arrives and summons all the surviving geniuses and Immortals.
• He reprimands them for allowing more than two hundred geniuses to die despite Chaos City’s relative safety. He warns that the dangers of the Original Universe will be far greater and urges everyone to use their final ten days to challenge the Celestial Bridge or study the Chaos Stele before departure.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang: Makes significant breakthroughs in law comprehension after immersing himself in the True World Chaos Stele. He advances to the point of clearing the thirteenth Celestial Bridge level and the Cosmic-level Primordial Sky-Passing Mountain. He also becomes more disciplined, accepting that endlessly remaining before the Chaos Stele is not necessarily beneficial.
• Primal Ancestor: Demonstrates decisive authority by personally protecting Earth’s independence and forbidding alien interference.
• Youhou Lord: Takes on the role of Earth’s external guardian, providing a powerful deterrent against invasion.
• Nine Swords Venerable: Acts as a stern supervisor and mentor. He is disappointed by the cohort’s casualties but uses the warning to prepare the survivors for the much harsher conditions ahead.

Significant Themes

• Protection and sovereignty: Earth’s laws and defenses emphasize the need to preserve Earthlings’ autonomy from powerful alien groups.
• Controlled cultivation: The Australia experiment reflects the belief that hardship and suppression can produce stronger individuals than excessive protection or artificial enhancement.
• Secrecy and exceptional achievement: Xiao Yang’s thirteenth-level breakthrough is kept hidden because it is far beyond what a Cosmic-level genius should normally accomplish.
• Preparation for danger: The impending departure from Chaos City highlights the transition from a protected training environment to the lethal reality of the Original Universe.
• Growth through discipline: Xiao Yang’s decision to leave the Chaos Stele rather than remain absorbed indefinitely shows increasing maturity and self-control.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang and his allies cooperate with the Virtual Universe Company to establish Earth’s laws, protect its population, and design the Australia cultivation experiment.
• Primal Ancestor’s order establishes the authority behind Earth’s protections, while Youhou Lord’s presence reinforces them.
• Xiao Yang remains largely isolated during his breakthroughs, interacting indirectly with others through his challenges and avatars.
• Nine Swords Venerable addresses the entire cohort, criticizing their deaths and urging them to make full use of their final days in Chaos City. The geniuses and Immortals respond respectfully, acknowledging his authority.

Chapter Summary: “Leaving”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang’s presence motivates the current batch of Genius Battle participants to train more intensely. Many repeatedly absorb Chaos True Spirits and risk their lives fighting Chaos Beasts outside Chaos City.
• As a result, only 787 of the original 1,000 geniuses survive, but the surviving group is exceptionally strong.
• The batch achieves unprecedented Celestial Bridge results:
  • Bolan reaches the sixth level.
  • Luo Feng, Hong, and Rong Jun reach the fifth level.
  • Three geniuses, including Thunder God, reach the fourth level.
  • More than twenty initially reach the third level, eventually increasing to over thirty.
• Nine Swords Venerable is secretly delighted by the batch’s quality. Although he appears displeased by the deaths, he values the emergence of powerful experts far more.

• Xiao Yang prepares to leave Chaos City and complete several trial missions before advancing to World Lord.
• Void Ruins Venerable advises Xiao Yang to undertake the Blood Luo World and Purgatory Abyss missions, especially urging him to collect Blood Luo Crystals.
• Xiao Yang visits Chaos City Lord and Dragon-Walking Lord before departing. They approve of his plans and give him protective tokens containing their divine-power projections. Chaos City Lord also gives him tokens from two other Senior Brothers and Giant Axe.
• More than ten days later, Xiao Yang gathers with the other geniuses under Nine Swords Venerable. The group departs Chaos City aboard a blue flying-fish spacecraft.
• The spacecraft carries over 700 surviving geniuses and more than 100 Immortals out of the Initial Universe. Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Bolan are eventually sent to the Primordial Secret Realm.

Character Developments

• Thunder God: Advances to the fourth level, establishing himself among the batch’s elite.
• Nine Swords Venerable: Becomes increasingly optimistic about the batch’s potential, viewing the deaths as acceptable losses if they produce exceptional experts.
• Void Ruins Venerable, Chaos City Lord, and Dragon-Walking Lord: Show strong support for Xiao Yang by offering guidance, approval, and emergency protection.

Significant Themes

• Growth through danger: The geniuses achieve extraordinary results by repeatedly risking death in battle rather than relying solely on peaceful cultivation.
• The value of elite talent: The powerful leaders consider the survival of a few outstanding experts more important than preserving every participant.
• Mentorship and protection: Xiao Yang’s relationships with multiple Venerables and Lords reveal the importance of powerful teachers and allies.
• Leaving the sheltered environment: Xiao Yang’s departure marks a transition from Chaos City training to broader trials and greater responsibility.
• Hidden identities and political relationships: Hong’s public identity as Youhou Lord’s disciple conceals his true connection to Darkness Lord, emphasizing the secrecy surrounding powerful figures.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang and Void Ruins Venerable: Xiao Yang informs his teacher of his plans, receives mission advice, and agrees to seek Blood Luo Crystals.
• Xiao Yang, Chaos City Lord, and Dragon-Walking Lord: They discuss his upcoming journey, approve his plan to become a World Lord, and provide multiple emergency tokens.
• Nine Swords Venerable and the geniuses: He evaluates their accomplishments and leads them out of Chaos City, satisfied with the batch’s extraordinary performance.
• Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Bolan: Their shared transfer to the Primordial Secret Realm places the three leading geniuses together as they begin the next stage of their development.

Chapter Summary: “Blood Luo World”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After leaving Nine Swords Venerable’s spacecraft, Luo Feng confirms with Xiao Yang that the Blood Luo World is classified as a dangerous-level cultivation mission.
• Luo Feng explains that cultivation missions are one of the greatest opportunities available to Virtual Universe Company Core Geniuses. They offer:
  • Valuable points,
  • Opportunities to increase strength and potential,
  • Intensive life-and-death training.
• Xiao Yang has recommended the Blood Luo World as their first mission, but only to a select few because of its danger.
• Bolan, who has grown closer to Luo Feng and the others over the past thirty years, asks to join them. Xiao Yang agrees, while clarifying that each person must complete the mission independently.
• The group plans to accept the mission in half a year, giving them time to prepare. They specifically need to account for the fact that certain high-tech tools cannot be used inside the Blood Luo World.
• Back at his manor in the Primordial Secret Realm, Xiao Yang accesses the Virtual Universe Company’s cultivation-mission system.
• The system explains that cultivation missions are divided into five danger levels:
  • Safe: 0% mortality
  • Normal: 10%
  • Difficult: 20%
  • Dangerous: 50%
  • Desperate: 90%
• Ignoring the system’s warnings, Xiao Yang selects the dangerous-level Blood Luo World mission.
• The Blood Luo World is revealed to be an ancient continent floating in the void, born during the early development of the Primal Secret Region. It contains countless powerful humans, along with its own language, culture, and cultivation system.
• The mission offers two possible objectives:
  1. Obtain one Blood Luo Crystal for 10,000 points.
  2. Become a “Blood Warrior” and obtain the Blood Luo Medal for 100,000 points.
• Completing either objective counts as successfully completing the mission, though 99.5% of participants only complete the first objective.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang is shown to be decisive, well-informed, and highly willing to take risks. His confidence in selecting a dangerous mission reflects his belief that true strength requires harsh tempering rather than comfortable cultivation.
• Luo Feng trusts Xiao Yang’s judgment and acts as the one who explains the mission’s significance to the others.
• Bolan has become much less arrogant and more sociable after spending thirty years with Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and the other geniuses. He is eager to join the mission, both to pursue the opportunity and to strengthen his relationship with Xiao Yang.
• Bolan’s attitude also demonstrates his awareness of the large gap between himself and Xiao Yang; rather than behaving arrogantly, he seeks friendship and guidance.

Significant Themes

• Growth through danger: The chapter emphasizes that true power cannot be developed in a sheltered environment. Real advancement comes from repeated battles and trials between life and death.
• Opportunity and risk: The greater the danger of a cultivation mission, the greater its potential rewards. However, reckless choices can lead to death.
• Personal responsibility: The Virtual Universe Company permits Core members to choose their own paths, but they must personally bear the consequences of their decisions.
• Competition and cooperation: Although participants may assist one another in emergencies, each person must complete mission objectives independently. This prevents stronger geniuses from simply helping others farm rewards.
• Ambition and potential: The Blood Warrior objective represents a far greater challenge and reward than merely obtaining a Blood Luo Crystal, highlighting the difference between basic completion and pursuing exceptional achievement.

Character Interactions

• Luo Feng seeks confirmation from Xiao Yang about the mission’s danger, showing respect for Xiao Yang’s knowledge.
• Xiao Yang gives Luo Feng permission to explain the mission to the others, indicating mutual trust.
• Bolan asks to accompany the group, and Xiao Yang welcomes him while explaining the limits of cooperation.
• Luo Feng, Xiao Yang, and Bolan separate afterward to prepare individually for their upcoming journey.

Chapter Summary: “A New Skin Worth Ten Billion!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang accepts the Virtual Universe Company’s mission to train in Blood Luo World and schedules his departure six months later.
• He prepares for the mission by ordering non-technological weapons, armor, and clothing styled after Blood Luo World, while also learning its language. Avoiding technological equipment is essential because Blood Luo World’s inhabitants are hostile toward outsiders.
• The delay before departure is intended to give Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and the others time to raise their cultivation to the Ninth-Order Cosmic level through the Virtual Universe Company’s nutrient solutions.
• While continuing to comprehend the World Origin, Xiao Yang regularly checks the game’s event pages, Skin Discount Event, Back Hill event, and Daily Shop.
• A new skin appears in the Skin Discount Event: Small Manor Villa No. 10225566. Its discounted price is ten billion Chaos Units’ worth of Voucher Points, while its original price would have been one trillion.
• Since Xiao Yang has saved more than twenty billion Voucher Points specifically for valuable skins, he immediately purchases it.
• The new skin replaces his Garden Cottage Villa with a huge manor covering roughly one square kilometer. It contains walls, fountains, artificial hills, pavilions, ponds, plants, a basketball court, and a seven-story central villa.
• The manor grants extraordinary cultivation benefits:
  • Law comprehension efficiency increased by 300%
  • Energy absorption speed increased by 10,000%
  • Temporary comprehension increased by 100%
  • Thought speed increased by 300%
  • The Ten Origin Laws are manifested
  • Portions of the Eight Fusion Laws are manifested
• Xiao Yang realizes the manor offers better law-comprehension conditions than Chaos City in most respects. He plans to leave his Avatar in Chaos City to study the Chaos Stele while using his true body in the Game World, maximizing both cultivation environments.
• Upon entering the manor, he finds that its manifested laws are even clearer than those of the Initial Universe.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang: Demonstrates careful preparation and strategic thinking regarding Blood Luo World. His wealth and confidence allow him to make an enormous purchase without hesitation. The manor significantly improves his cultivation resources and changes how he plans to divide his Avatar and true body’s activities.
• Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and the others: They are preparing to accompany Xiao Yang on the Blood Luo World mission, but must first raise their cultivation to the Ninth-Order Cosmic level. Hong and Thunder God are expected to depart earlier because of the distance from their current secret realm.
• Bolan: Like the others, he remains focused on advancing his cultivation before the mission.

Significant Themes

• Preparation and concealment: Success in Blood Luo World requires adapting to local customs and hiding connections to advanced technology.
• Resource optimization: Xiao Yang carefully balances his cultivation methods, using the Virtual Universe Company’s nutrient solutions for his companions and saving Voucher Points for high-value skins.
• Power through unique opportunities: The manor’s rare bonuses give Xiao Yang an advantage beyond ordinary cultivation locations, emphasizing the importance of the game system.
• Avatar and true-body strategy: The chapter highlights Xiao Yang’s growing ability to exploit different environments simultaneously for maximum progress.
• Contrast between freedom and control: Blood Luo World is portrayed as a controlled training ground whose inhabitants are trapped inside, reinforcing the privileged position of the outside geniuses.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang coordinates his departure plan with Luo Feng and the others, waiting for them to reach the necessary cultivation level.
• His relationship with his companions is cooperative and strategic: he avoids wasting farm resources because the Virtual Universe Company already provides nutrient solutions.
• There are no major direct confrontations or extended conversations in the chapter; the main interactions are Xiao Yang’s planning with his companions and his interaction with the game system.
