Ch. 221A Manor Full of Surprises!

Chapter Summary: Manor Items with Special Effects

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After entering the manor, Xiao Yang discovers that his mental clarity and thinking speed have increased several times. He realizes the manor is an exceptionally good place for comprehending laws, even better than Chaos City.
  • The manor’s Cosmic Energy concentration is extraordinarily high, surpassing most important Human Race locations and second only to the Origin Land of the Initial Universe.
  • Xiao Yang explores the manor and investigates whether its decorative objects possess special functions:
    • Koi fish: A Level 7 koi group permanently increases his luck by 500% and cannot be killed.
    • Artificial mountain: Has no special ability but is extraordinarily durable, harder than F-grade metal.
    • Fountains and flowers: The fountains have no notable effect, while the flowers improve people’s moods.
    • Life-Origin Fruits: Restore a large amount of Divine Power. Each fruit can restore roughly the amount possessed by an Elementary King-level expert with a hundredfold genetic level. The tree produces one hundred fruits every thousand years and can be replenished cheaply with Voucher Points.
  • Xiao Yang decides not to consume the Life-Origin Fruits because he already possesses large quantities of crops that restore Divine Power. He instead regards the fruits as attractive decorations.
  • At the swimming pool, Xiao Yang discovers that the water is Level 7 Unclaimed Divine Power, which can be absorbed instantly without refinement by cultivators below the Venerable level.
  • The pool contains five thousand cubic meters of this Divine Power. Its replenishment cost is extremely low, making it a highly valuable resource for recovering Divine Power instantly.
  • Xiao Yang realizes that this resource will allow him to expand and restore future powerful divine-body clones far more efficiently.
  • Intrigued by the discoveries outside, he heads toward the seven-story villa at the center of the manor to investigate its contents.

Character Development

  • Xiao Yang becomes increasingly aware of the manor’s immense value and begins considering it a permanent cultivation base.
  • His understanding of the manor shifts from seeing it as a residence to recognizing it as a treasure-filled cultivation and recovery resource.
  • He shows practical judgment by choosing not to waste the Life-Origin Fruits, since his farm already provides superior supplies.
  • His excitement grows after discovering the Unclaimed Divine Power, especially because it may eliminate the need to slowly expand the divine body of his future You Hai Clone.

Significant Themes

  • Hidden value in ordinary objects: Decorative manor features conceal powerful abilities and resources.
  • Cultivation efficiency: The manor dramatically improves comprehension, energy absorption, and Divine Power recovery.
  • Abundance and strategic planning: Xiao Yang evaluates each resource according to its long-term usefulness rather than simply consuming everything immediately.
  • The contrast between appearance and reality: Koi, fruit trees, and a swimming pool appear ornamental but possess extraordinary effects.
  • Preparation for future power growth: The manor’s resources support Xiao Yang’s plans for stronger clones and higher cultivation realms.

Character Interactions

  • There are no direct interactions with other characters in this chapter. The focus remains on Xiao Yang’s exploration of the manor, his examination of its items, and his internal assessment of their usefulness.

Ch. 222Media Room and Gym

Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xiao Yang explores the newly acquired seven-story villa, which includes two underground floors, five aboveground floors, bedrooms, entertainment rooms, a kitchen, and other modern facilities.
  • He discovers that the manor automatically adjusts the size of anyone who enters, allowing even enormous clones—such as the Heavenly Void Clone—to use the villa. This resolves his concern that future, larger bodies might be unable to enter.
  • In the second basement, Xiao Yang examines the Level-7 Audio-Visual Room. Though equipped with advanced entertainment technology, its most important function is that music and films can temper and improve willpower, potentially up to the Peak Immortal level.
  • Xiao Yang sends a Tianxu Avatar into the audio-visual room to begin training its willpower. Horror films provide the greatest effect, though Xiao Yang doubts that anything could frighten him. He watches one while eating popcorn and drinking juice.
  • Xiao Yang then inspects the gym. Its equipment can alter its form, weight, and the Origin Laws applied to it, allowing users to train under different law pressures. However, Xiao Yang has little need for this feature because he already possesses manifested laws and extensive law insights.
  • The gym’s Level-7 Simulated Combat Arena impresses him greatly. It can reproduce any opponent and environment below the Venerable level, including experts with rare Fusion Laws, powerful secret techniques, unusual races, and even beings from other universes or Source Worlds.
  • The arena’s ability to simulate unfamiliar laws, species, and combat techniques gives Xiao Yang enormous inspiration for creating his own unique secret techniques.
  • A nearby punching bag can analyze attacks below the Venerable level and cannot be damaged by them.
  • After examining the villa’s facilities, Xiao Yang concludes that purchasing the manor was extremely worthwhile.

Character Development

  • Xiao Yang shifts from mild disappointment with the ordinary-looking rooms to intense excitement as he discovers the hidden functions of the audio-visual room and combat arena.
  • His strategic mindset is emphasized: he immediately recognizes that the audio-visual room can strengthen his shared willpower through the Tianxu Avatar, while the combat arena can expand his knowledge and aid his future technique creation.
  • Xiao Yang’s confidence is also apparent in his dismissive attitude toward horror films and his belief that the gym’s law-training equipment is unnecessary for someone with his current level of insight.
  • The Tianxu Avatar is given a practical long-term role: it will remain in the audio-visual room to cultivate willpower, compensating for its inability to comprehend laws.

Significant Themes

  • Hidden value and discovery: Ordinary-looking facilities conceal extraordinary functions, reinforcing the idea that appearances can be misleading.
  • Continuous growth: The manor provides tools for developing willpower, combat ability, law comprehension, and secret techniques.
  • Shared power between bodies: Because Xiao Yang’s original body, clones, and avatars possess linked willpower, the avatar’s training directly benefits Xiao Yang himself.
  • Expansion of horizons: The simulated arena exposes Xiao Yang to laws, races, techniques, and worlds beyond his current experience, encouraging innovation and ambition.
  • Investment and reward: The enormous price of the manor is justified by its wide range of powerful, specialized benefits.

Character Interactions

  • Xiao Yang interacts primarily with his own Tianxu Avatar, sending it into the audio-visual room and arranging for it to train through films and music.
  • The original body and avatar function cooperatively: the avatar performs the willpower training while Xiao Yang continues inspecting the villa.
  • There are no direct interactions with other characters in this chapter; the focus is on Xiao Yang’s relationship with his clones and his reactions to the manor’s facilities.

Ch. 223World Lord Level Flame Star Vine

Plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang spent several months in the Game World, using a Tianxu Avatar to stand in for him in the Primordial Secret Realm while his original body and law-capable avatars studied there.
  • He confirmed that, aside from the Chaos Stele, the Game World’s Manor Villa enabled law comprehension at over a thousand times the rate of Chaos City. He decided to keep his original body there and use his Heavenly Void Clone for outside activities.
  • Before leaving for Blood Luo World, he checked on his Flame Star Vine, which had grown to World Lord level, sixth order, with an exceptional 1,024 main vines. It had grown without extra resources and would need more than 3,000 years to become immortal.
  • Xiao Yang planned to take the Vine along as protection for his clone, but to keep it concealed unless necessary. If forced to reveal it, he intended to use the opportunity to seize Blood Luo Crystals—or eliminate witnesses.
  • He reunited with Luo Feng, Bolan, and Virtual Universe Company staff. Rather than use a standard company ship, he brought a superior F9-grade vessel gifted by his teacher, Void Ruins Venerable.
  • The group departed for Blood Luo World, with arrival estimated in two and a half months. On the journey, Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Bolan entered the Virtual Universe to consult Hong and Thunder God about their plans.

Character development and interactions

  • Xiao Yang’s setup reveals growing confidence and strategic caution: he exploits the Game World for rapid cultivation while using a disguised clone to manage risks outside it.
  • His Flame Star Vine is an exceptionally valuable asset, far beyond standard cultivation limits, but Xiao Yang intends to keep its existence hidden.
  • Luo Feng and Bolan show curiosity about Xiao Yang’s ship and preparations. Xiao Yang explains that Void Ruins Venerable—not the Chaos City Lord—gave it to him.
  • The staff, guards, and servants treat Xiao Yang with deference, underscoring his status.

Significant themes

  • Power through preparation: Xiao Yang’s avatars, rapid law study, advanced ship, and hidden plant life form all support his upcoming mission.
  • Exceptional opportunity and risk: The Flame Star Vine’s extraordinary growth comes without cost, in stark contrast to the immense resources and uncertain success rates of conventional cultivation.
  • Secrecy and calculated force: Xiao Yang plans to conceal his strongest asset and use it only when necessary.

Ch. 224Five Reunite

Plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and Bolan return from the Original Universe and see Celestial Eclipse Palace, where a powerful Virtual Universe Company expert resides and staff monitor Blood Luo World. Anyone leaving the world is detected; natives are not allowed to escape.
  • The three wait for Hong and Thunder God, then all five set off together. Number One, now a true Intelligent Life, disguises their spaceship as a meteorite.
  • They enter Blood Luo World, pass through its eighteen cloud layers, and land in a vast forest near a city. Xiao Yang stores the ship in his World Ring.
  • A huge Stellar-level monster attacks, but Thunder God kills it effortlessly. Xiao Yang proposes visiting the city to obtain a map, after which they can split up to collect Blood Luo Crystals. The group agrees and heads toward it.

Character developments and interactions

  • Luo Feng is disturbed by the Company’s control over Blood Luo World and thinks Earth might have suffered the same fate without Xiao Yang’s protection. The experience strengthens his determination to become stronger.
  • Thunder God is eager to explore and confidently dispatches the monster.
  • Hong voices the grim reality that Blood Luo World’s inhabitants, despite being human, cannot leave because they lack sufficient power.
  • Xiao Yang takes the lead in organizing the group’s next steps, while Number One demonstrates greater independence and capability.

Significant themes

  • Power and freedom: The strong control the weak; Blood Luo World’s people are trapped by the Company’s dominance.
  • Resolve and responsibility: Luo Feng’s reflection deepens his commitment to grow stronger, while Xiao Yang’s leadership guides the group.
  • Exploration and preparation: The team enters an unfamiliar world cautiously, planning to get a map before dispersing on their mission.

Ch. 225Blood Luo Crystal

    • Sky level = Stellar Level
    • Cloud level = Cosmic Level
    • Domain level = Domain Lord Level
    • World level = World Lord Level
    • Immortal God = Immortal
  • Cities are organized into satellite cities, Territory Capitals, and World Cities. Territory Capitals are ruled by Domain Lord-level figures, while World Cities are ruled by World Lord-level figures.
  • The Immortal Temple stands above the World Cities and generally does not interfere in ordinary affairs.
  • Blood Luo Crystals are usually held by Domain Lord-level city lords, powerful families, major factions, or exceptionally strong Desolate Beasts.

Character Developments

  • Luo Feng and the others become increasingly motivated after learning that Blood Luo Crystals can significantly improve their strength.
  • Thunder God shows particular enthusiasm, realizing that the group may need to remain in the Blood Luo World for an extended period to obtain enough crystals.

Blood Luo Crystals

  • Fusing one Blood Luo Crystal increases a person’s affinity with laws.
  • Repeated fusion can raise their gene level, potentially increasing it by as much as one hundred times.
  • Any flesh-and-blood lifeform can attempt fusion by making a wound and allowing the crystal to contact their blood.
  • The process is extremely painful and includes a powerful mental and willpower shock; failure occurs if the person cannot endure it.
  • Becoming a Blood Warrior requires fusing three Blood Luo Crystals, while Blood Warrior badges can simply be seized from others.

Significant Themes

  • Exploration and self-reliance: The group must gather local knowledge themselves rather than depend entirely on the limited information provided beforehand.
  • Opportunity and ambition: The discovery of the Blood Luo Crystals gives the group a powerful new goal and raises the stakes of their journey.
  • Trust and cooperation: Xiao Yang openly shares valuable knowledge, while the group works together and accepts one another’s expertise.

  • Afterward, he shares the recorded information with Xiao Yang, Luo Feng, and the others through the Virtual Universe.
  • Luo Feng asks Xiao Yang for more details about the Blood Luo Crystals, prompting Xiao Yang to explain their abilities and fusion process to the entire group.
  • The revelation inspires everyone, especially Thunder God, and unites them around the objective of acquiring the crystals.

Ch. 226Blood Beast City

Key plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang and his companions realize that Blood Luo Crystals can raise their Gene Level, making them far more valuable than the mission Points they originally focused on. They decide to seek more before leaving Blood Luo World.
  • Xiao Yang cautions the group that Blood Luo Crystals are usually held by Domain Lords or stronger, so pursuing them carelessly could be fatal. The others temper their excitement and agree to act prudently.
  • The group travels to Blood Beast City, where they have no local currency to pay the entrance fee. Hong uses an illusion involving the Time Origin Law to conceal them, allowing all five to enter unnoticed.
  • They sell the Desolate Beast materials they have collected, buy books about Blood Luo World, and check into an expensive inn.
  • The books reveal that Blood Luo Crystals are rare treasures said to be bestowed by the gods and distributed by the Immortal Temple; their origins and exact effects are largely unknown.
  • Frustrated by the limited information, Thunder God suggests questioning someone. Xiao Yang proposes going straight to the city lord—and taking his Blood Luo Crystals.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang is eager to exploit the crystals’ potential but also warns the others not to let the prospect of treasure cloud their judgment. After reading the books, he quickly shifts toward a bold plan to confront the city lord.
  • Hong remains notably calm amid the group’s excitement. He demonstrates his skill by disguising the group from everyone at the city gate.
  • Thunder God jokes about the group’s entry and later suggests getting information by force.
  • Luo Feng and Bolan share the group’s interest in the crystals; Bolan’s pride is balanced by an awareness that they should not underestimate their opponents.
  • The companions trust one another: they follow Hong through the gate without demanding an explanation and gather together to study the books.

Significant themes

  • Opportunity versus danger: Blood Luo Crystals promise a major increase in power, but acquiring them may require facing much stronger enemies.
  • Knowledge and preparation: The group seeks local information before acting, though the books provide only vague, conventional accounts.
  • Ambition and boldness: The companions’ pursuit of power quickly turns from cautious research toward a potentially dangerous confrontation.

Ch. 227The First Blood Luo Crystal

Chapter Summary: The First Blood Luo Crystal

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xiao Yang proposes targeting the city lord, reasoning that city lords possess Blood Luo Crystals in most cases and are likely to know which other experts in Blood Beast Territory have them.
  • The group agrees that an ordinary Domain Lord should not pose a serious threat, especially with Xiao Yang’s powerful Flame Star Vine and the group’s combined abilities.
  • Using maps purchased earlier, Luo Feng, Xiao Yang, Hong, Thunder God, and their companion travel to the City Lord Mansion while Hong conceals them with an illusion.
  • The mansion is pyramid-shaped and heavily guarded, but none of the guards or internal experts can detect the group.
  • Hong uses his illusion techniques to incapacitate the guards outside the city lord’s chamber.
  • Xiao Yang senses two Domain Lord-level experts inside the top-floor room. Hong briefly traps them in illusions, allowing Xiao Yang to subdue them almost instantly.
  • Xiao Yang captures both experts inside his World Ring, where his Tianxu Avatar suppresses and critically wounds them.
  • The group escapes without causing any disturbance. Xiao Yang kills and stores the bodies of the guards, then restores the room so that the city lord’s disappearance will not immediately be noticed.
  • Back at the inn, the group enters Xiao Yang’s World Ring to interrogate the captured experts. The Tianxu Avatar brings them a blood-red, triangular-prism-shaped Blood Luo Crystal, whose pulsing energy resembles a heartbeat.

Character Developments

  • Xiao Yang displays confidence and decisiveness, treating ordinary Domain Lords as little threat. His possession of the Flame Star Vine and Tianxu Avatar reinforces his overwhelming strength.
  • Hong demonstrates the usefulness of his illusion techniques, effortlessly controlling weaker guards and temporarily affecting the Domain Lord experts. However, he admits that his illusions remain limited against stronger opponents because his law comprehension has not fully caught up with his willpower.
  • Luo Feng and Thunder God continue to act as practical, decisive allies. Thunder God especially recognizes and praises Hong’s strategic value.
  • The group operates with increasing coordination and trust, relying on stealth, deception, and overwhelming force rather than open combat.

Significant Themes

  • Strategic strength over brute force: The group carefully chooses a target likely to possess both Blood Luo Crystals and valuable information.
  • The gap between talent and cultivation: Hong’s exceptional willpower allows him to affect powerful opponents despite weaker cultivation, though his incomplete law comprehension limits him.
  • Stealth and efficiency: The group aims to avoid alerting the city, completing the operation without noise or visible destruction.
  • Power and resource acquisition: Blood Luo Crystals are treated as valuable resources that can enhance strength, while the city lord serves as both a target and a source of intelligence.
  • The limits of surveillance and rules: Although the group can seize the crystals, Xiao Yang notes that the Virtual Universe Company monitors Blood Luo World, preventing them from exploiting the operation to falsify mission rewards.

Important Character Interactions

  • Xiao Yang persuades the others to attack the city lord directly, and the group accepts his reasoning.
  • Thunder God admires Hong’s illusion abilities, prompting Hong to explain their limitations.
  • Xiao Yang instructs Hong to use illusions first during the confrontation so the Domain Lords cannot create a disturbance.
  • Hong’s illusions create the opening, while Xiao Yang delivers the decisive suppression and capture.
  • The chapter ends with the group examining their first Blood Luo Crystal and preparing to extract information from the captured city lord-level experts.

Ch. 228Integrating Blood Luo Crystals!

Chapter Summary: “Integrating Blood Luo Crystals!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Tianxu Avatar presents a Blood Luo Crystal to Luo Feng’s group. Xiao Yang reveals that he has found two more in the Storage Bracelets of two severely injured Domain Lord-level warriors.
  • The group learns that the two captives are the city lord and the president of the Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce.
  • Hong attempts to interrogate them through illusions, but because their realms are higher, Xiao Yang assists by using his Innate Secret Skill, Time Stop, freezing them in place and allowing Hong’s interrogation to succeed.
  • The captives reveal that Blood Beast Territory is controlled by four major forces:
    • The city lord family
    • The Baiyan Family
    • The Cam Family
    • The Ten Thousand Beasts Chamber of Commerce
  • Their leaders are all Domain Lord-level powerhouses, and the patriarchs of the Baiyan and Cam Families likely possess Blood Luo Crystals as well.
  • The group learns that most Blood Luo Crystals are distributed or controlled by the Immortal Temple, with some reaching World City.
  • After studying the surrounding map and intelligence, the group decides to seize the remaining two crystals from the Baiyan and Cam Family heads. This would provide one crystal for each of the five members.
  • The group divides into two teams, attacks the two families, and then leaves Blood Beast City.
  • While traveling in a disguised spaceship, each member prepares to fuse with a Blood Luo Crystal.
  • Xiao Yang begins the fusion in the Game World by placing the crystal against a cut in his hand.

Character Developments

  • Xiao Yang demonstrates his growing strength and versatility. He reveals that he can produce multiple avatars and uses his powerful Time Stop ability to suppress the Domain Lord captives.
  • His strong willpower, strengthened through previous training and experiences in the Game World, allows him to withstand the crystal’s initial mental assault.
  • Hong shows his value as an interrogator and illusionist. Although he cannot easily control higher-realm opponents alone, he successfully extracts information with Xiao Yang’s assistance.
  • Luo Feng and the others remain practical and cooperative, quickly adapting to the new intelligence and supporting the plan to collect enough crystals for everyone.

Significant Themes

  • Strength through cooperation: Xiao Yang’s Time Stop and Hong’s illusions work together, showing that coordinated abilities can overcome differences in realm.
  • The importance of willpower: The fusion process emphasizes that will is distinct from consciousness and can allow someone to resist forces beyond their apparent level.
  • Competition for power and resources: Blood Luo Crystals are rare and strategically valuable, driving the group’s decision to raid powerful factions.
  • Expanding knowledge of the world: The interrogation reveals the political structure of the Blood Beast Territory and connects the crystals to the larger authority of the Immortal Temple.

Character Interactions

  • Xiao Yang gives Tianxu Avatar’s Blood Luo Crystal to the group and explains how the other two were obtained.
  • He asks Hong whether his illusions can interrogate the captives, then offers to suppress them so Hong can proceed.
  • The group discusses the intelligence gathered and agrees with Xiao Yang’s plan to target the two remaining family leaders.
  • During the fusion attempt, Xiao Yang confronts the crystal’s violent will directly. His mind is bombarded with murderous battle cries, while red energy threads enter his body, causing severe physical pain, involuntary trembling, skin hardening, and bleeding. The outcome of the fusion remains unresolved at the chapter’s end.

Ch. 229Blood Luo Power

Chapter Summary: “Blood Luo Power”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xiao Yang undergoes the painful fusion process with a Blood Luo Crystal.
  • His body experiences extreme, violent mutations: his veins shift between crystalline transparency and gold, his muscles change, claws extend and retract, and fur and scales repeatedly emerge across his body.
  • The fusion causes tremendous fluctuations in temperature and pain, temporarily making Xiao Yang feel as though he has lost control of his body.
  • Although the experience is agonizing, Xiao Yang recognizes that it benefits him by tempering his previously untested will and state of mind.
  • After the physical changes subside, hidden blood-red secret patterns appear within his body. When activated, they manifest on his chest and unleash Blood Luo Power.
  • The power significantly improves Xiao Yang’s perception of the Origin Laws, increasing his affinity for all ten laws by an estimated twenty to thirty percent.
  • Xiao Yang realizes that Blood Luo Crystals are far more powerful than he had initially assumed and decides to acquire more.
  • Hong emerges from his fusion soon afterward. Although he completes the process later than Xiao Yang, he fuses faster than Luo Feng and Bolan because of his exceptionally strong state of mind and will.
  • Hong initially believes the crystal has had no effect because he cannot immediately sense an increase in strength. Xiao Yang explains how to locate and activate the hidden Blood Luo Power.
  • Once Hong activates it, his perception of the Origin Laws becomes dramatically clearer, especially his strongest domains: the Laws of Light and Time.
  • Xiao Yang explains that Blood Luo Power’s effects can stack. Ordinary humans may fuse with up to one hundred crystals, while obtaining and successfully fusing with three would already make someone a Blood Warrior.

Character Developments

  • Xiao Yang: Endures unprecedented physical and mental suffering, exposing a weakness in his previously untested state of mind. He views the ordeal as valuable tempering rather than merely suffering. His already extraordinary genetic level allows him to fuse faster than the others, and his law comprehension improves even further.
  • Hong: Demonstrates the strongest will and state of mind among the group, enabling him to fuse quickly despite having less physical strength than Luo Feng and Bolan. After learning how to activate Blood Luo Power, he becomes deeply impressed by its benefits and develops a strong desire to obtain more crystals.
  • Luo Feng and Bolan: They have not yet emerged from the fusion process, but they are implied to possess greater physical strength than Hong while taking longer to complete their first fusion.
  • Xiao Yang and Hong’s relationship: Their interaction is cooperative and trusting. Xiao Yang openly shares crucial information about Blood Luo Power, helping Hong understand and benefit from the fusion.

Significant Themes

  • Pain as a form of growth: The fusion’s suffering serves as both a physical transformation and a test of will.
  • The importance of setbacks: Xiao Yang realizes that an overly smooth cultivation journey has left his state of mind underdeveloped. Hardship is necessary for long-term advancement.
  • Hidden power and self-discovery: Blood Luo Power is initially undetectable, requiring conscious investigation and activation before its effects become apparent.
  • Accumulation and ambition: Since the crystals’ effects can stack, the characters immediately begin considering how many they can obtain and how far the power might elevate them.
  • Physical strength versus mental strength: Xiao Yang’s superior genetic body gives him the fastest fusion, while Hong’s powerful will allows him to endure and complete the process efficiently.

Character Interactions

  • Xiao Yang explains the nature of Blood Luo Power to Hong after Hong questions why he feels no immediate physical increase.
  • Hong follows Xiao Yang’s instructions, discovers the power within his body, and confirms the dramatic enhancement in law perception.
  • Their conversation shifts from confusion to excitement as both recognize the enormous potential of collecting multiple Blood Luo Crystals.

Ch. 230Blood Warrior!

Chapter Summary: “Blood Warrior!”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The group learns that fusing Blood Luo Crystals requires not only strong willpower but also a powerful physique. The Golden-Horned Beast is especially well suited to the process.

  • Xiao Yang’s Avatars travel toward nearby Territory Capitals and World Cities. At one Territory Capital, Xiao Yang effortlessly defeats the guards and suppresses the city lord, a Fifth-Order Domain Lord, before taking control of the city’s Blood Luo Crystals.
  • Back in the Game World, Xiao Yang fuses his second and third Blood Luo Crystals. The process causes tremendous pain and physically transforms him into a black-furred, winged, four-clawed monster before he returns to normal.
  • After successfully fusing the third crystal, Xiao Yang officially becomes a Blood Warrior.

Character Developments

  • Xiao Yang demonstrates increasing confidence and strategic efficiency. Rather than personally collecting every crystal, he uses his Avatars to expand the search while preparing himself for further fusion.
  • His physical strength proves sufficient to withstand the increasingly severe fusion process. The second crystal requires a physique ten times stronger than the first, and the third demands ten times more than the second.
  • Xiao Yang’s Blood Power increases his affinity with the laws by roughly sixty percent after the second fusion, strengthening both his cultivation potential and combat ability.
  • Bolan develops renewed respect and excitement after discovering the effects of Blood Luo Power, particularly after realizing that the others surpassed him in exiting the trial area.
  • Luo Feng and the other members become motivated to pursue Blood Luo Crystals after seeing their benefits.

Significant Themes

  • Strength requires both will and foundation: Determination alone cannot overcome the physical demands of Blood Luo Crystal fusion.
  • Pain and perseverance: Xiao Yang endures extreme suffering to improve himself, showing his willingness to pursue power despite the risks.
  • Strategic resource gathering: Xiao Yang uses Avatars and carefully chosen targets to collect crystals efficiently while minimizing personal effort and danger.

  • Xiao Yang’s Heavenly Void Clone transfers the Flame Star Vine to an Avatar before returning to the Game World to focus on law comprehension.
  • Xiao Yang confronts the Territory Capital’s guards and city lord, quickly incapacitating them and taking control of the city’s resources.
  • During the fusion process, Xiao Yang interacts mainly with his own resources and preparations, using a level-five watermelon to restore his physical and mental condition between attempts.

Ch. 231Journey to World City

Chapter Summary: “Journey to World City”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After resting, Xiao Yang recovers and activates the Blood Luo Power. The crimson patterns on his chest are now more complete, though still imperfect.
  • The Blood Luo Power greatly enhances him:
    • His affinity with the laws doubles.
    • His strength doubles.
    • His main body reaches a strength equivalent to a genetic level of 2,000 times that of an ordinary human.
    • If the power were permanently active, his effective genetic level would be around twenty times.
  • Xiao Yang reflects that the Blood Luo Power will eventually become a passive ability after he reaches the Immortal level—or if he raises his genetic level to 10,081 times.
  • He compares his main body with his Heavenly Void Clone:
    • The clone remains stronger in raw combat power, possessing a twentyfold genetic level.
    • The clone’s genetic level was increased using a Level-6 Wild Ginseng, which could enhance suitable lifeforms tenfold.
    • Xiao Yang’s main body, however, possesses the terrifying assassination and escape abilities of Time Stop and Teleportation, allowing him to kill even peak World Lords or escape from Immortals under the right circumstances.
  • Xiao Yang recalls that he has repeatedly failed to find another Level-6 Wild Ginseng during later Mountain Foraging Events. He has, however, accumulated more than twenty Level-5 Wild Ginseng plants.
  • He plans to give the Level-5 Wild Ginseng, along with Level-5 Goji Berries, to Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God. These treasures could raise their genetic levels substantially and grant them a Domain Lord Bloodline.
  • He previously withheld such treasures to avoid attracting the Chaos City Lord’s suspicion when the three first entered Chaos City, since their unusual similarities and elevated genetic levels might have exposed Xiao Yang’s involvement.
  • Xiao Yang continues fusing Blood Luo Crystals. He successfully fuses five more, but the sixth fusion fails because of overwhelming pain.
  • Realizing that further progress requires the assistance of a Baleful Qi Vortex, Xiao Yang decides to search for the Ancient God Ruins, the location associated with Luo Feng in the original story.
  • Since nearby Domain Lord city lords do not know where the ruins are, Xiao Yang sends a talent clone toward the nearest World City to ask its city lord for information.

Character Development

  • Xiao Yang grows more confident as his Blood Luo Power becomes stronger and his law affinity and physical strength improve.
  • He demonstrates careful strategic thinking by distinguishing between raw combat power and tactical abilities. His Heavenly Void Clone is stronger physically, while his main body is more dangerous because of Time Stop and Teleportation.
  • His concern for Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God reveals his loyalty and willingness to invest valuable resources in people he trusts.
  • Xiao Yang remains cautious and politically aware. He deliberately hides his treasures and abilities until the danger of inspection and suspicion has passed.
  • His failed sixth fusion highlights the limits of his current power and motivates his next journey.

Significant Themes

  • Power and advancement: Genetic levels, Blood Luo Power, treasures, and law comprehension all represent different paths to strength.
  • Strategic concealment: Xiao Yang must balance rapid growth with the need to hide his unusual origins and resources.
  • Loyalty and shared origins: His decision to help Luo Feng and the others is based on their Earth heritage, talent, and character.
  • Limits and perseverance: Although Xiao Yang makes major progress, the failed fusion shows that advancement comes with physical and mental costs.
  • Preparation for future conflict: His search for the Ancient God Ruins and a Baleful Qi Vortex suggests preparation for greater breakthroughs and upcoming challenges.

Character Interactions

  • Xiao Yang does not directly meet the other characters in this chapter, but he thinks extensively about Luo Feng, Hong, Thunder God, and Bolan.
  • He intends to provide Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God with genetic-enhancing treasures because of their shared Earth origins and trusted relationship.
  • Bolan is acknowledged as exceptionally talented, but Xiao Yang does not plan to give him the same resources.
  • Xiao Yang plans to ask the World City’s city lord for information about the Ancient God Ruins, making that figure the likely focus of his next interaction.

Ch. 232Unleashing Unrivaled Power

Chapter Summary: “Unleashing Unrivaled Power”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xiao Yang arrives outside World City and uses his detector to survey it. He discovers that the city contains more than a hundred Domain Lord-level experts and one third-order World Lord—the city lord.
  • After memorizing their positions, Xiao Yang enters the city and heads directly toward the City Lord Mansion. He observes that World City is much larger, wealthier, safer, and more populated with experts than ordinary Territory Capitals.
  • Because the City Lord Mansion is heavily guarded and located in the busy center of the city, Xiao Yang abandons any plan to sneak in or abduct the city lord. Instead, he prepares for a direct confrontation.
  • Before entering, Xiao Yang changes his appearance using the Heavenly Void Clone’s Simulation Secret Technique. He also consumes powerful resources from the Game World, including a Level-7 Durian and another crop that temporarily increases his amplification, dramatically boosting his combat strength.
  • Xiao Yang disperses his other Avatars and forms one with power comparable to the Heavenly Void Clone. His strength reaches roughly 1,200 times that of an ordinary ninth-order Cosmic-level expert, giving him confidence against ordinary World Lords.
  • He summons his spear, Boundless, and releases powerful Time and Space Origin Law fluctuations. Although the weapon is not perfectly suited to his current understanding of the Ten Origin Laws, it can still unleash a significant portion of his strength.
  • The city’s inhabitants panic and flee when Xiao Yang displays his power. Recognizing Boundless as a weapon from outside their world, some identify him as an “Outsider” and fear that he has come to cause trouble.
  • The white-haired city lord appears and reacts with excitement rather than fear. He sees Xiao Yang’s arrival as an opportunity and promises not to let him die “too painfully.”
  • The city lord attacks with a machete, but Xiao Yang counters with the technique “Spear World.”
  • Their weapons collide in a devastating clash. Buildings and inhabitants within a kilometer are annihilated, while the city lord is blasted dozens of kilometers away, destroying structures and killing more civilians along his path.
  • The chapter ends with the city lord staring at Xiao Yang in disbelief and asking how such an outcome could be possible.

Character Developments

  • Xiao Yang: Demonstrates careful preparation, strategic awareness, and overwhelming confidence. Rather than relying on stealth, he deliberately enhances his strength and chooses a direct assault. His power has advanced to the point where even a third-order World Lord is unable to withstand a single exchange.
  • The World City Lord: Initially appears confident and eager, believing that capturing an Outsider will benefit him. His confidence collapses immediately after Xiao Yang’s counterattack, revealing that he severely underestimated his opponent.
  • City Residents: Their perception of World City’s safety is shaken. They begin as secure spectators and quickly become terrified refugees once Xiao Yang reveals his identity and strength.

Significant Themes

  • Overwhelming power and hidden strength: Xiao Yang’s preparations allow him to conceal his true level until the moment of attack, turning what should be a dangerous confrontation into a one-sided defeat.
  • Preparation versus complacency: Xiao Yang carefully analyzes the city, enhances himself, and adapts to the situation, while the city lord rushes into battle because of his excitement and overconfidence.
  • The outsider motif: Xiao Yang’s weapon and identity mark him as someone from beyond the local world, creating fear and hostility among the residents.
  • The fragility of safety: Although World City is considered exceptionally secure, its defenses prove meaningless against an enemy of Xiao Yang’s caliber.
  • Power’s destructive consequences: The battle causes immense collateral damage, emphasizing that conflicts between high-level experts threaten everyone nearby, not just the combatants.

Character Interactions

  • Xiao Yang’s initial interaction with the city is observational and strategic as he studies its defenses and inhabitants.
  • The city’s residents respond to his presence with fear and condemnation, calling him an Outsider and hoping the city lord will defeat him.
  • The city lord addresses Xiao Yang arrogantly, treating him as a valuable opportunity rather than a genuine threat.
  • Their brief exchange culminates in a single decisive clash: the city lord attacks with his machete, while Xiao Yang responds with “Spear World,” decisively overpowering him.

Ch. 233Interrogation

Chapter Summary: “Interrogation”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Xiao Yang overwhelms the World City Lord with a single spear strike, annihilating half of his body despite the man’s powerful World Lord-level vitality.
  • Refusing to give the City Lord time to recover or summon help from the Immortal Temple, Xiao Yang attacks again and reduces him to half a head. He stores the surviving remains in his World Ring for questioning.
  • After leaving World City, Xiao Yang changes his appearance and aura, creates an Avatar, and sends it back into the city to remain undercover.
  • Inside the World Ring, Xiao Yang searches the City Lord’s storage ring. He finds a small number of Blood Luo Crystals and a Blood Warrior Badge, realizing that the City Lord was a Blood Warrior who had simply been defeated before he could activate his Blood Luo Power.
  • Xiao Yang restores the City Lord’s body with a Grade 6 Kiwi and interrogates him under restraint.
  • The City Lord reveals the location of the Ancient God Ruins and explains the hostility toward Outsiders: the Immortal Temple has placed bounties on them, especially talented geniuses, while the Virtual Universe Company allows this danger as part of their training missions.
  • Once he has obtained the information, Xiao Yang kills the City Lord.
  • After buying a map of the region, one of Xiao Yang’s Avatars travels toward the Ancient God Ruins while his other Avatars continue collecting Blood Luo Crystals.
  • Xiao Yang sends the ruins’ location and purpose to Luo Feng and the others, intending to give them Goji Berries and Wild Ginseng when they arrive.

Character Developments

  • Xiao Yang demonstrates overwhelming combat power, easily defeating an ordinary World Lord-level expert. He concludes that Low-tier World Lords can be killed in only a few moves, while High-tier World Lords would pose only a moderate challenge.
  • His confidence increases, but he remains strategically cautious. Rather than continuing to fight World Lords for resources, he decides that robbing Domain Lord-level experts is more efficient.
  • Xiao Yang shows strong tactical awareness by disguising himself, using Avatars, preserving the City Lord for interrogation, and controlling the timing of the battle.
  • The City Lord changes from a confident and contemptuous ruler into a terrified and resentful captive. His earlier underestimation of Xiao Yang prevents him from activating his Blood Luo Power in time, contributing to his defeat.

Significant Themes

  • Underestimation and overconfidence: The City Lord assumes that an Outsider at the Cloud level cannot threaten him, but Xiao Yang’s exceptional strength proves otherwise.
  • Power and preparation: Xiao Yang’s victory results not only from superior strength but also from swift attacks, disguise techniques, Avatar deployment, and careful interrogation.
  • Survival in a hostile world: Outsiders are hunted because of the Immortal Temple’s bounty, making secrecy and adaptability essential.
  • Training through danger: The Virtual Universe Company permits the hostility toward Outsiders because these missions are intended to test and strengthen Human Race geniuses.
  • Efficiency and resource management: Xiao Yang evaluates the value of fighting powerful opponents and chooses the safer, more profitable method of obtaining Blood Luo Crystals from Domain Lords.

Character Interactions

  • Xiao Yang and the City Lord engage in a brief but decisive battle, in which Xiao Yang repeatedly attacks before the City Lord can recover or call for aid.
  • During the interrogation, Xiao Yang remains calm and authoritative, while the City Lord responds with fear and hatred but ultimately provides the requested information.
  • Xiao Yang’s preparations for Luo Feng and the others show his continued cooperation with and support for his companions, particularly through sharing the ruins’ location and planning to provide them with valuable resources.

Ch. 234Ancient God Ruins

Key plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang heads for the Ancient God Ruins, relying on information from the World Lord. The official account says the ruins were created in a war between Blood Luo World’s Immortal Gods and the Outsiders, though Xiao Yang recognizes the story as propaganda: he believes the Immortal Temple is disguising its defeat by the Virtual Universe Company.
  • The ruins are described as a dangerous battlefield filled with baleful qi that can drive visitors mad. They also attract gifted fighters seeking to train and fuse Blood Luo Crystals.
  • Xiao Yang remains confident that his Flame Star Vine could protect him—even against an Immortal—and travels toward the ruins.
  • At Celestial Eclipse Palace, more than thirty World Lords monitor his journey. They have increased surveillance because several exceptional fighters have recently come to Blood Luo World. They are ordered to protect Xiao Yang if danger drives him above the clouds.
  • Descending through the lower cloud layers, Xiao Yang encounters blood-red mist and baleful qi that awakens a faint killing impulse. His strong will keeps it under control.
  • In the ruins, he sees a vast, damaged landscape scattered with bones, broken weapons, and armor. A strange force passes through his body despite his Genetic Origin Energy and Psychic Power, but causes no apparent effect.
  • Xiao Yang realizes the force cannot alter him because the Tianxu Avatar is not a flesh-and-blood life-form and therefore cannot fuse with Blood Luo Crystals.

Character developments

  • Xiao Yang shows confidence, skepticism, and composure. He questions the official history, withstands the ruins’ murderous influence, and quickly reasons through why its energy has no effect on his avatar.
  • The World Lords’ concern for Xiao Yang underscores his importance and the attention his arrival has drawn.

Significant themes

  • Official history versus truth: Xiao Yang sees the Immortal Temple’s account as face-saving propaganda.
  • Willpower against corruption: The baleful qi provokes bloodlust, but Xiao Yang resists it.
  • The limits of the body: The ruins’ energy and Blood Luo Crystals affect biological beings, but not Xiao Yang’s non-flesh avatar.
  • Power and protection: The monitoring team’s precautions show how valuable and vulnerable gifted fighters can be in a dangerous training ground.

Character interactions

  • The World Lord gives Xiao Yang an account of the ruins and their history; Xiao Yang listens but privately doubts its reliability.
  • The World Lords at Celestial Eclipse Palace discuss Xiao Yang’s approach and coordinate emergency protection.
  • Xiao Yang has no direct encounter with other characters in the ruins during this chapter.

Ch. 235The Power of Baleful Energy

Key plot points

  • Xiao Yang discovers that a strange force mixed with the Blood Luo World’s baleful energy is transforming his body, apparently allowing him to fuse with more Blood Luo Crystals.
  • In a vast pit where the energy is especially dense, the transformation becomes pronounced, reaching his cells and genes. But the baleful energy also carries Killing Intent that could gradually make him more bloodthirsty.
  • Xiao Yang tests whether the Game World’s estate and screening room can counteract this effect. The flowers clear his immediate urge to kill, while soothing music leaves his Soul Will calm enough that the baleful energy can no longer provoke him—at least for a while.
  • He settles into a cave in the pit to absorb the energy and deepen his Law Comprehension. He plans to collect Blood Luo Crystals rather than remain long enough to transform further, since he can later buy or trade for Beast God Blood.
  • Months later, Luo Feng and the others reach the Ancient God Ruins. Each has fused with just one crystal because their physiques are too weak, while Xiao Yang has fused with five.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang recognizes both the physical benefits and psychological risks of the baleful energy. Instead of simply enduring its effects, he experiments with the Game World’s flowers and screening room and finds a practical way to manage them.
  • His plan reflects confidence and pragmatism: he prioritizes gathering crystals and intends to use wealth or trade to obtain Beast God Blood later.
  • Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God serve as points of comparison. Despite their exceptional talent—and Hong’s superior state of mind—their ordinary physiques limit how many crystals they can fuse with. Xiao Yang’s advantage comes from the body-altering energy, not superior willpower.

Significant themes

  • Power and its cost: The energy that strengthens the body also threatens to corrupt the mind with an accumulating urge to kill.
  • Self-knowledge and adaptation: Xiao Yang studies the danger, tests possible remedies, and adjusts his approach rather than accepting the side effects.
  • Physical strength versus mental strength: Strong will can resist the Killing Intent, but it cannot replace the physical conditioning needed to fuse with more crystals.
  • Pragmatism and resourcefulness: Xiao Yang treats the transformation as useful but optional, preferring to gather resources and seek alternatives rather than stay in the dangerous environment indefinitely.

Ch. 236Preparing to Leave

Plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang’s body is exceptionally powerful: his gene level is ten times the baseline, and his body amplitude is thirtyfold. This lets him withstand the demands of fusing with multiple Blood Luo Crystals.
  • He gives Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God Level-5 Goji Berries and Wild Ginseng. The crops evolve their bloodlines to Domain Lord level and raise their gene levels. Their original innate secret skills also evolve, though they receive no entirely new ones.
  • With their strengthened bodies, the three fuse with two more Blood Luo Crystals each, becoming Blood Warriors. Bolan arrives afterward, and the group spends most of its time training in the Ancient God Ruins’ baleful qi.
  • Luo Feng discovers a vast baleful-qi pit, where the group continues training. His Earthling and Golden-Horned Beast bodies undergo transformation, while his Mosha Clan clone gathers Blood Luo Crystals. The Golden-Horned Beast body also discovers a Gold-Space Beast God Phantom; Luo Feng shares the discovery, though he gains the most from it.
  • Over five years, Xiao Yang gathers more than sixty thousand Blood Luo Crystals, largely by robbing an Immortal Temple envoy. He uses the Flame Star Vine to overpower the envoy and seize its storage ring.
  • Xiao Yang then announces that he is leaving the Blood Luo World. He says the place no longer offers him useful training and that his cosmic-level cultivation is beginning to limit him. He intends to break through as soon as he returns.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang grows confident that he can continue fusing with Blood Luo Crystals later, so he chooses advancement over remaining in the ruins. His strength and willingness to take risks are demonstrated by his successful ambush of the Immortal Temple envoy.
  • Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God accept Xiao Yang’s unusual crops without questioning their source, reflecting their trust in him. Their bloodlines, physiques, and inherited abilities improve, and all three become Blood Warriors.
  • Luo Feng balances training with the practical work of his Mosha Clan clone, which must regularly return crystals because it cannot store them safely as Xiao Yang can. He also openly shares the Beast God Phantom discovery with the others.
  • Luo Feng, Hong, and Thunder God are surprised by Xiao Yang’s departure, especially because they expected him to keep training until he became a Black Warrior. His decision prompts them to reconsider how much value the Blood World still holds for him.

Significant themes

  • Growth through adaptation: The crops, baleful qi, and Blood Luo Crystals each transform the characters in different ways.
  • Trust and cooperation: Xiao Yang shares rare resources, and Luo Feng shares a valuable discovery, allowing the group to benefit together.
  • Different paths to progress: While the others continue pursuing gains in the Blood World, Xiao Yang decides that moving on and breaking through is more valuable than further training there.
  • Risk and resourcefulness: Xiao Yang’s avatars and Flame Star Vine let him exploit dangerous opportunities, while Luo Feng’s clone must manage the risk of losing its gathered crystals.

Ch. 237Preparing to Break Through

Plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang decides to leave Blood Luo World and abandon the remaining cultivation missions, believing he will progress faster after advancing beyond the Cosmic level.
  • Before leaving, he sends Luo Feng and the others his Blood Luo World intelligence, including locations he has already raided and information about the Gold-Space Beast God Statue. Luo Feng is startled to learn that laws can be fused and plans to search for the statue with his Mosha Clan clone.
  • Xiao Yang returns to the Primordial Secret Realm and submits his mission results. The Virtual Universe Company verifies his Blood Luo Crystal and Blood Warrior status, awarding him 10,000 Points for the first mission and 100,000 Points for the second. He declines an offer to sell his crystals.
  • Xiao Yang consults the Primal Ancestor in his private Virtual Universe space. The Primal Ancestor agrees that Cosmic-level missions offer Xiao Yang little and tells him to advance to World Lord, first breaking through to Domain Lord.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang shows confidence in choosing his own growth path, giving up valuable missions and refusing to sell the crystals because he believes they are worth more than the offered price.
  • Luo Feng gains a new direction for his cultivation after learning about the Gold-Space Fusion Law and decides to investigate it.
  • The Primal Ancestor supports Xiao Yang’s decision and offers to recommend amplitude secret techniques suited to his resources.
  • Xiao Yang’s companions accept his choice, while the Lord of Sky Eclipse Palace does not approach him, recognizing that guidance belongs to Xiao Yang’s teacher, the Chaos City Lord.

Significant themes

  • Choosing one’s own path: Others may see the missions as valuable opportunities, but Xiao Yang prioritizes the stage of cultivation he believes will help him most.
  • Mentorship and respect: The Chaos City Lord’s status shapes how other powerful figures interact with Xiao Yang, while the Primal Ancestor provides guidance without opposing his decision.
  • Knowledge as opportunity: Xiao Yang’s shared intelligence gives Luo Feng a promising new avenue for exploration and cultivation.

Ch. 238Dairy Cows? What Does Their Milk Do?

Key plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang reaches Domain Lord and tells the Primal Ancestor he plans to advance directly to World Lord, skipping the usual points missions and external assignment.
  • The Primal Ancestor proposes using a Domain Lord-level Avatar made from Xiao Yang’s Heavenly Void Clone as bait in the Dry Witch Universe Country. With Virtual Universe support, they aim to expose and eliminate Alien Race experts and spies, making Earth safer.
  • Xiao Yang agrees. He will raise his cultivation to the peak of Domain Lord first, then leave for the assignment in a year, accompanied by guards.
  • In the Game World, Xiao Yang discovers that reaching Level 5 unlocks dairy-cow breeding. His level-up gift pack contains Level 5 seeds, chicks, and cows.
  • He buys a cowshed, fills it with five cows, and accelerates their milk production. The milk increases a person’s height by one meter per portion, up to 10,000 meters, for cultivators below Venerable.

Character developments

  • Xiao Yang’s immense status lets him reject standard missions designed to test obedience rather than ability. He remains focused on rapid advancement and protecting Earth.
  • He is willing to use a disposable Avatar as bait because it is immune to soul attacks and easily replaced.
  • His curiosity about the game’s new livestock system leads him to recognize the milk’s unexpected combat potential.

Significant themes

  • Power and exploitation: The usual missions are presented as a way to cultivate loyalty among weaker geniuses, not simply test them.
  • Sacrifice and security: Xiao Yang accepts personal risk through an Avatar to protect Earth and weaken the Alien Races.
  • Unexpected value: A seemingly trivial benefit—greater height—could increase an Immortal’s Divine Body and total Divine Power, effectively expanding their reserves or “health bar.”
  • Humanity’s disadvantage: Humans’ smaller bodies leave them with less Divine Power than larger species, making the milk potentially valuable for the Human Race.

Character interactions

  • The Primal Ancestor advises Xiao Yang on advancement and proposes the bait operation; Xiao Yang agrees without hesitation.
  • The Primal Ancestor promises to use the Virtual Universe to identify enemy agents, giving Xiao Yang confidence that the operation can nearly clear them from the Dry Witch Universe Country.

Ch. 239The First Level-8 Seed!

  • Milk and the Heavenly Void Clone: Xiao Yang confirms that Level-5 Milk can enlarge an Immortal’s Divine Body, raising its maximum Divine Power capacity without restoring the extra power needed to fill it. He tests this on his Heavenly Void Clone: ten portions add ten meters, and ten thousand portions make it more than ten kilometers tall. He leaves his original body unchanged, since he expects it to grow enormously upon attaining Perfect Gene and cannot yet shrink it conveniently.
  • A new crop tier: Having reached Domain Lord level, Xiao Yang can now draw Level-8 crops, though the odds are only one in a hundred quadrillion. He commits an Avatar to the lottery while another tends the dairy cows.
  • Dairy-cow meat: Curious about the cows, Xiao Yang slaughters one and finds it yields marbled beef. Its listed benefit—restoring and increasing Genetic Origin Energy and Psychic Power—does not impress him, but he enjoys its taste and plans to stock beef and make butter for cooking steaks.
  • The first Level-8 seed: The lottery produces Level-8 Spinach, which grants up to a hundredfold increase in Body Amplitude for at least ten thousand years, with longer effects for weaker users. Xiao Yang recognizes that it is not permanent, but believes a reliable supply could make the boost effectively permanent. He uses his abundant in-game wealth, funded by selling blueberries grown in thousands of World Rings, to mature the crop quickly.
  • An unexpected discovery: Unlike earlier crops, the harvested Level-8 Spinach retains its roots. Xiao Yang checks the warehouse description and learns that the edible leaves provide the Body Amplitude boost, while the otherwise inedible roots have a separate, important use. The chapter ends before revealing what that use is.
    Character developments and interactions: Xiao Yang remains ambitious and practical, testing valuable items first on a clone and managing resources carefully. His confidence in eventually attaining Perfect Gene shapes his decision not to enlarge his original body. His interactions are mainly with his Avatars, which he assigns distinct farming and lottery tasks; he also experiments directly with the cows and crops.
    Themes: The chapter highlights the escalating value of cultivation resources, strategic experimentation, and the way game-like systems turn farming and commerce into sources of power. It also builds anticipation around the hidden potential of Level-8 crops.

Ch. 240Fishing!

Key plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang examines newly unlocked Level-7 and Level-8 crops. Their edible parts can enhance talent or restore Divine Power, while their discarded parts can be used as crafting materials.
  • Level-8 Spinach roots can supplement an Ordinary Heavy Treasure, and Xiao Yang wonders whether stronger crops—especially Level-8 Fire Kirin Fruit—might yield materials for Supreme or Ultimate Treasures. He hopes to meet the Game World’s Blacksmith.
  • He spends tens of billions of Voucher Points on draws, gaining dozens of Level-8 seeds. Most are useful for restoring Divine Power, but their crafting materials are scarce, so forging powerful treasures would require growing many crops.
  • Xiao Yang assigns one Tianxu Avatar to cultivate crops and dispatches three to Earth to collect Universe Crystals and oversee visiting human-branch experts. Another returns to the Primordial Secret Realm to go fishing.
  • His promotion to Domain Lord is recorded, raising the Primordial Secret Realm’s Domain Lord count to eleven. Cosmic-level geniuses are relieved because he will no longer compete in their Qualification Battle; others are surprised he advanced before exploiting the remaining trial-world opportunities.
  • A Machine Race expert analyzes Xiao Yang’s move and predicts his arrival in the Dry Witch Universe Country within a year. The expert considers an assassination, but estimates only an 11.17% chance of success and says it would require at least a King-level attacker.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang remains ambitious and strategic: he weighs crop benefits, future treasure crafting, cultivation, and the value of advancing to World Lord.
  • The Cosmic-level geniuses see Xiao Yang as overwhelmingly strong and are pleased that his promotion removes him from their competition.
  • Observers debate whether Xiao Yang advanced too soon, especially given his reputed connection to the Chaos City Lord. They believe the City Lord could have advised him without compromising his reputation for fairness.
  • The Machine Race expert treats Xiao Yang as a high-priority target, though the low projected success rate makes an attack uncertain.

Significant themes

  • Growth and resource management: Xiao Yang balances cultivation, crop production, and long-term material needs.
  • Ambition versus opportunity: His decision to advance surprises others who think he should have remained at Cosmic level to pursue more rewards.
  • Power and threat: Xiao Yang’s reputation intimidates peers and attracts enemy attention.
  • Fairness and mentorship: Others reflect on how a powerful mentor can guide a disciple while preserving impartiality.
