Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “Perfect Gene!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang returns from the Extraterritorial Battlefield and enters the Thousand Treasures River, immediately attracting the attention of the Chaos City Lord.
• The Chaos City Lord transports him to a palace and comments on the commotion Xiao Yang caused during his recent training.
• Xiao Yang explains that he has completed his objectives on the battlefield and has returned to attempt a breakthrough—not to become Immortal, but to raise his Gene Level.
• The Chaos City Lord seals the surrounding time and space to protect and observe him.
• Xiao Yang activates his Blood Luo Power. His Gene Level rapidly increases from roughly 3,000 times the norm, surpassing 10,000 times and eventually reaching 10,080 times.
• Although Xiao Yang initially believes he has fallen short, his aura suddenly erupts. The Primordial Universe responds, transforming his Inner World, body, and soul.
• Xiao Yang’s consciousness is drawn into the Origin Land of the Primordial Universe, a mysterious realm where beings who achieve a Perfect Gene are gathered.
• He discovers countless points of light, each containing an Innate Secret Skill at the Universe Master level. The Primordial Universe grants one such skill to every being who reaches a Perfect Gene.
• Xiao Yang remains relatively calm because his system and Level-9 Crops can provide powerful secret skills. Instead, he becomes curious about the Origin Land and begins searching for the Primal Ancestor.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang: Demonstrates increasing confidence and extraordinary potential by attempting to achieve a Perfect Gene before becoming Immortal. He successfully reaches the critical Gene Level of 10,081 times the norm and gains entry to the Origin Land. His vast collection of abilities and resources makes even the Primordial Universe’s rewards seem less impressive to him.
• Chaos City Lord: Shows strong concern and interest in Xiao Yang’s development. He is astonished by Xiao Yang’s unexplained ability to reach a Gene Level of 3,000 times the norm and realizes that Xiao Yang has a strong chance of achieving a Perfect Gene. He respects Xiao Yang’s privacy and chooses not to question the secret behind his bloodline.
• Primal Ancestor: Though absent from the chapter, his imprisonment in the Origin Land remains important. Xiao Yang’s desire to investigate the realm suggests that the Primal Ancestor may be connected to his next objective.

Significant Themes

• Transcending established limits: Xiao Yang surpasses the conventional path of cultivation by pursuing a Perfect Gene before becoming Immortal.
• Secrets and trust: The Chaos City Lord recognizes that Xiao Yang is hiding the source of his unusual Gene Level but respects his secrecy, reflecting the trust between them.
• The Primordial Universe’s recognition: Achieving a Perfect Gene triggers a powerful transformation and grants access to a higher, mysterious realm, marking Xiao Yang as an exceptionally rare existence.
• Power versus comprehension: Although Xiao Yang possesses ways to obtain powerful secret skills externally, he continues cultivating and creating abilities himself because personal comprehension strengthens his understanding of laws and principles.
• Curiosity beyond ambition: Xiao Yang is not driven solely by rewards. The Origin Land’s secret inhabitants and its connection to the Primal Ancestor interest him more than the powerful skills it contains.

Character Interactions

• The Chaos City Lord warmly welcomes Xiao Yang and acknowledges his accomplishments.
• He initially assumes Xiao Yang is preparing to become Immortal, but Xiao Yang corrects him by revealing his plan to raise his Gene Level.
• The Chaos City Lord observes and protects Xiao Yang during the breakthrough, silently measuring the significance of his achievement.
• Their interaction emphasizes mutual respect: Xiao Yang is willing to reveal his immediate goal, while the Chaos City Lord deliberately avoids probing into his deeper secrets.

Key plot points and events

• Xiao Yang reaches the Perfect Gene level and is pulled into a special space by the Primordial Universe. He briefly witnesses images of the universe’s birth, life, and destruction, though he cannot retain them.
• Back in his body, he discovers that his divine body can expand beyond 90,000 kilometers and then shrink to under two meters. He uses his Simulation Secret Technique to return to a human-sized form.
• Xiao Yang’s new Innate Secret Skill is revealed: Universe Evolution. It can create a miniature universe whose development lets him observe and study the evolution of the Ten Origin Laws and Eight Fusion Laws.
• The skill is currently unusable because it requires at least Peak Immortal-level divine power. Even Xiao Yang’s power-enhancing secret technique is not enough to supply the necessary energy.
• The Chaos City Lord advises Xiao Yang to finish nurturing his Third Clone before preparing for his breakthrough. He also tells him that his teacher has arranged a Fire-Space Beast God Inheritance Token.
• Xiao Yang plans to collect the token through his Avatar in Chaos City and enter the Ancestor God Religion as the Origin Spear King, a safer identity for seeking materials in the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

Character developments

• Xiao Yang’s attainment of Perfect Gene brings a dramatic increase in his body’s potential and grants him an unusually powerful, law-focused ability. Although it cannot yet be activated, he sees it as more valuable than a direct attack skill.
• The Chaos City Lord is astonished by Xiao Yang’s progress but remains practical, reminding him that the skill’s immense requirements make sense and that Xiao Yang must continue building his strength.

Significant themes

• Power through understanding: Universe Evolution offers Xiao Yang a way to learn the laws by observing them directly, making knowledge itself a source of future strength.
• Potential and limitation: Xiao Yang gains an extraordinary ability, but his current energy level prevents him from using it.
• Caution and preparation: His choice to travel under a powerful alternate identity reflects the dangers of the secret realm and the importance of planning ahead.

Character interactions

• Xiao Yang openly explains his transformation and new skill to the Chaos City Lord, who asks about it but makes clear that Xiao Yang need not share anything he considers private.
• The Chaos City Lord praises the skill’s promise, offers guidance on Xiao Yang’s next steps, and arranges access to the inheritance token through his other body in Chaos City.
• Xiao Yang accepts the plan and confirms that his Avatar will collect the token before he travels as the Origin Spear King.

Plot points and events

• The Chaos City Lord gives Xiao Yang a Fire-Space Beast God Inheritance Token and offers to gather the other tokens if needed. Xiao Yang says one is enough: he wants to visit the Ancestral God Secret Realm mainly to find biological material for his Third Clone, while studying the Fire-Space Fusion Law is secondary.
• Xiao Yang explains that he must master the Fusion Laws and the Time and Space Origin Laws to pursue the Chaos Law, but sees no need to follow the Beast God path or comprehend the Beast God’s Heart.
• The Chaos City Lord warns him that Universe Masters may be present in the secret realm, advises him to call for help or self-destruct if necessary, and offers to help secure clone material if Xiao Yang cannot obtain it himself.
• After receiving more information, Xiao Yang leaves. His Heavenly Void Clone binds the token and learns the secret realm’s coordinates.
• At Camp 004, the Spirit Fox King offers to transport Xiao Yang. Her Tamu Race servant uses Divine Kingdom Teleportation to take them to a point just over a million light-years from the secret realm.
• Xiao Yang pays the Spirit Fox King, thanks her, and prepares to continue alone. She is disappointed that he does not stay to talk.

Character developments and interactions

• Xiao Yang is purposeful and self-reliant. He prioritizes finding material for his Third Clone, is cautious about taking on unnecessary cultivation demands, and intends to seek the Chaos City Lord’s help only as a last resort.
• The Chaos City Lord acts as a protective mentor, giving Xiao Yang the token, practical warnings, and an offer of assistance.
• The Spirit Fox King helps partly because she hopes to befriend Xiao Yang, whose Flame Star Vine has Universe Overlord-level combat power despite being Immortal. Xiao Yang remains courteous but businesslike.
• The Tamu Race Immortal obeys the Spirit Fox King and performs the teleportation.

Significant themes

• Pragmatism in cultivation: Xiao Yang focuses on the laws and goals essential to his path rather than pursuing every possible inheritance.
• Risk and preparation: The secret realm promises opportunities but contains dangers even for powerful cultivators.
• Reputation and alliances: Xiao Yang’s rare companion attracts attention and makes others eager to associate with him, though he prefers to keep interactions focused.

Key plot points and events

• Xiao Yang travels through the Dark Universe toward the Ancestral God Secret Realm, one of the Primordial Universe’s largest and most dangerous regions.
• At its edge, he encounters immense Black Whirlwinds and wisely waits rather than risk his ship, armor, and Flame Star Vine in them.
• A spatial vortex appears and transports him to the Five-Colored Aurora Lake, the Ancestor God Religion’s famed Domain-type Supreme Treasure.
• A Feicang Race Reception Envoy demands proof that Xiao Yang belongs to the religion and threatens to kill him if he lacks a token. Xiao Yang presents his Fire-Space Beast God Inheritance Token, and the envoy escorts him to Purple Thorn Island, home of Beast God Inheritors.
• On arrival, Xiao Yang examines the laws manifested in the sky and judges them less impressive than those in the Game World Manor.

Character developments and interactions

• Xiao Yang shows caution by avoiding the dangerous whirlwinds, but also confidence: he remains unruffled by the envoy’s intimidating pressure and knows the Flame Star Vine could overpower him.
• The envoy shifts from threatening and suspicious to welcoming once Xiao Yang proves his status, then guides him and explains the religion and its territory.
• Xiao Yang’s thoughts about the Five-Colored Aurora Lake reveal his long-term ambition and confidence in his future resources: he expects that, with John’s help and higher-level crop byproducts, he may eventually obtain treasures of comparable or greater value.

Significant themes

• Vastness and danger: The secret realm is so immense and hazardous that even powerful beings cannot explore it freely.
• Caution and power: Xiao Yang’s strength is evident, but he avoids unnecessary risks and chooses cooperation over confrontation.
• Ambition and future potential: He treats even a legendary treasure as something he may one day match or surpass through his own resources.
• Status and trust: The inheritance token establishes Xiao Yang’s legitimacy and transforms the envoy’s hostility into assistance.

Key plot points and events

• Xiao Yang discovers that the laws manifested in his Game World Manor seem more effective—and possibly more profound—than those of the Ancestor God Religion, despite the latter being created by the Primordial Universe. He suspects his Manor’s laws may contain the source of laws, but cannot yet understand them fully.
• A Feicang Race Venerable guides Xiao Yang to meet Purple Thorn Island’s Guardian Beast God. After receiving permission to access the Inheritance Land, Treasure Land, and Secret Realm Land, Xiao Yang builds a palace on the island.
• News of his arrival spreads among the Ancestor God Religion’s inheritors. Some believe his strength depends heavily on his plant life-form and see Glory World, where combatants are on more equal footing, as a chance to challenge him.
• Xiao Yang ignores the attention and enters the Inheritance Land. There he meets Jiu Feng Venerable, a powerful Hong Alliance Universe Overlord, who recognizes him and warns him about the dangers of the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

Character developments and interactions

• Xiao Yang remains focused and self-assured. He is curious about the Inheritance Land but says his main purpose at the Ancestor God Religion is to visit the Ancestral God Secret Realm. He does not let the scrutiny or rumors distract him.
• The Feicang Race Venerable takes pride in the Ancestor God Religion’s manifested laws and helps Xiao Yang secure access to the island’s facilities.
• Jiu Feng Venerable treats Xiao Yang cordially, offers practical warnings about the Secret Realm, and promises to share information about dangerous areas.
• Other inheritors react to Xiao Yang’s reputation with curiosity and competitive interest, assuming his Beast God Way comprehension may be limited.

Significant themes

• Knowledge and comprehension: Xiao Yang compares different sources of manifested laws and senses that his Manor may conceal deeper principles.
• Reputation versus reality: Others form assumptions about Xiao Yang’s abilities from what they have—or have not—seen, while he remains focused on his own goals.
• Risk and preparation: Jiu Feng’s warning emphasizes that even powerful figures face serious danger in the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

• Key events: Jiu Feng Venerable explains that the Inheritance Land is one of the Ancestor God Religion’s greatest opportunities and urges Xiao Yang to enter. Inside the black mist, a mysterious force takes control of Xiao Yang and demonstrates his Fire-Space Fusion Law. He then receives a detailed inheritance suited to his current level—the third stage of the Beast God Way. The experience is partly impossible to remember at first, since his cultivation cannot yet support all of it. Jiu Feng advises him to reflect immediately and explains that later visits will cost Glory Points. Xiao Yang returns to his palace, enters the Game World, and studies in seclusion for several years.
• Character development: Xiao Yang moves from curiosity and unease at losing control to focused ambition. His existing knowledge of the Fire-Space Beast God Path lets him make strong use of the inheritance, and his study raises him to the peak of the third stage. Jiu Feng is shown as a generous, experienced guide who helps Human inheritors while remaining loyal to his people.
• Character interactions: Jiu Feng gives Xiao Yang practical guidance about the inheritance, its limits, and the need to study promptly. Xiao Yang listens, bows farewell, and follows his advice by immediately entering seclusion. Other inheritors watch him leave, but he ignores them.
• Significant themes: The chapter emphasizes the value of mentorship and disciplined reflection: receiving knowledge is not enough unless one has the foundation to absorb it. It also highlights the mysterious power of the universe, the preciousness of rare opportunities, and the drive to turn insight into greater strength.

Key plot points and events

• Xiao Yang expects to attract numerous challengers in Glory World because his fame as Origin Spear King—and his reputation for relying on his flame star vine—resembles Luo Feng’s notoriety as Blade River King.
• He logs in, registers under the name Origin Spear King, and appears on the rankings for the third stage of the Beast God Way with no wins or losses.
• King Chaman recognizes him, welcomes him, and brings him to a gathering of Human Race inheritors. Several onlookers speculate that Xiao Yang will be vulnerable without his flame star vine and hope to challenge him.
• The group explains the Ancestor God Religion and shares advice about exploring the Ancestral God Secret Realm. Their discussion is interrupted by notifications: Xiao Yang has received challenges.
• King Chaman and the others warn him not to accept yet, since accepting fights can cost glory points even if he fails to appear. Xiao Yang says he understands Glory World’s rules and has already created a Beast God Way secret technique, so he plans to accept.

Character developments

• Xiao Yang demonstrates confidence and preparation. Though others assume his Beast God Way skill is only barely at the third stage, he reveals that he has already developed a suitable secret technique.
• King Chaman acts as a knowledgeable and welcoming guide, looking out for Xiao Yang’s interests and explaining the value of glory points.

Character interactions

• King Chaman introduces Xiao Yang to the Human Race inheritors, who treat him courteously despite the rumors about his reliance on his plant life-form.
• Other inheritors eagerly discuss the prospect of challenging Xiao Yang, while the Human Race group advises him to be cautious. Xiao Yang listens but ultimately chooses to proceed.

Significant themes

• Reputation versus true ability: Xiao Yang’s fame shapes others’ expectations, but Glory World strips away advantages such as his flame star vine and tests his personal comprehension and technique.
• Preparation and confidence: Xiao Yang’s decision to accept challenges rests on his prior understanding and training.
• Community and caution: The inheritors share knowledge and try to protect a newcomer from losing valuable glory points, though Xiao Yang chooses his own path.

• While his consciousness joins the celebration, his Tianxu Avatar travels toward the Nine Nether Secret Realm, leaving Star Gate Vine fragments along the way.
• As he travels, Xiao Yang disguises himself as a Tark King using his level 9 Aloe Vera’s ability, which can fool even a Universe Master using Mastery of Time and Space.

Character developments

• Xiao Yang demonstrates that his strength does not depend solely on his plant life-form: his Beast God Way technique is powerful enough to overwhelm many opponents. He remains cautious about wagers but is generous with his allies after his success.
• King Shiying begins confident and dismissive, but is shocked by Xiao Yang’s strength and defeated.
• The inheritors who challenged Xiao Yang shift from confidence to regret as his victories mount.

• Xiao Yang’s fellow Human Race inheritors congratulate him and jokingly demand a celebratory treat; he readily agrees.
• Observers consider ambushing Xiao Yang for his treasures, but fear of his Universe Overlord-level plant life-form deters them.

Significant themes

• Hidden strength and underestimation: Others mistake Xiao Yang’s power as dependent on his plant life-form, only to discover his own combat ability is formidable.

• Success and generosity: His extraordinary gains become an occasion to celebrate with allies.

Plot points and events

• Xiao Yang travels to Nine Nether Space-Time, a twelve-light-year region that is itself the immense divine body of the Nine Nether Master.
• He flies over the Nine Nether Sea, provoking its guardian with a disguised secret technique. The crimson, horned being attacks and knocks him into the sea’s vortex.
• Xiao Yang withstands the vortex thanks to his heavy treasure armor and the Ninefold Void Return technique. Since teleportation is impossible there, he uses his Innate Secret Skill, Domain, to reach the world beneath the sea.
• He disguises himself as a native, layering several forms of concealment to protect his identity, and asks around until he finds the blood seas—the actual bodies of World Lord-level Nether Seas.
• At one blood sea, Xiao Yang tells a local he wants to see it because the Imperial Sea where he was born supposedly once resembled it. The local warns him not to use offensive techniques near it, citing Father God’s order.
• After confirming he is alone, Xiao Yang collects a large amount of blood seawater in his World Ring. The act triggers the Nine Nether Master’s response: a crushing pressure immobilizes Xiao Yang, the surrounding space becomes void, and a gigantic face appears overhead, furious.

• Xiao Yang demonstrates caution and resourcefulness, concealing his identity with multiple disguises and using a fabricated personal story to gain access to the blood sea.
• His confidence is evident in his willingness to enter the deadly vortex, trusting his defenses and abilities to protect him.
• His curiosity about the Nether Sea’s true nature gives way to a bold, illicit attempt to take its seawater.

Character interactions

• The crimson guardian confronts Xiao Yang as an outsider and attacks him, but Xiao Yang does not resist.
• A Nine Nether Sea native questions Xiao Yang near the blood sea. Xiao Yang’s convincing explanation earns him passage, and the native leaves after stating Father God’s rules.
• Xiao Yang’s theft prompts the Nine Nether Master to confront him directly, ending the chapter on a cliffhanger.

Significant themes

• Deception and identity: Xiao Yang’s layered disguises and invented backstory let him move among the natives undetected.
• Power and risk: The region is lethally dangerous, yet Xiao Yang’s specialized abilities let him navigate hazards that could kill powerful beings.
• Curiosity and transgression: His desire to understand the Nether Sea’s living nature leads him to violate its sacred rules, provoking a far greater power.

Key plot points and events

• Xiao Yang confronts the Nine Nether Master after taking a large amount of blood sea water from the Nine Nether Sea.
• The Nine Nether Master threatens and questions him, but Xiao Yang calmly offers a soul-type Supreme Treasure in exchange. He gives it up and then vanishes without a visible trace.
• The Nine Nether Master is shocked that his mastery of time and space—and even an expanded domain—cannot reveal Xiao Yang. He becomes alarmed by the possibility that such a power could threaten even a Universe Master and begins investigating.
• Xiao Yang returns the blood sea water to his main body’s Inner World and begins nurturing a Nether Sea Clone. Thanks to his larger Inner World and higher gene level, the process will take only ten years, rather than the six hundred years Luo Feng needed in the original story.
• He stores the surplus water for possible future use by Luo Feng or other human geniuses, anticipating that the Nine Nether Master may guard the sea more carefully.
• Xiao Yang sends his Heavenly Void Clone back to Bauhinia Island to continue pursuing the Fire-Space Beast God inheritance. His other avatars must work toward overcoming a separate obstacle: his existing Peak Secret Technique may not be strong enough to shatter his Origin Bead and allow him to become Immortal.

Character developments and interactions

• Xiao Yang remains composed under the Nine Nether Master’s pressure, prioritizes his goal, and reveals a startling ability to disappear even within the Nine Nether Master’s own divine body. He also shows foresight by saving blood sea water for others.
• The Nine Nether Master shifts from anger over the theft to deep concern about Xiao Yang’s unexplained disappearance. His questions suggest he suspects Xiao Yang may be connected to the Tak Race’s cloning abilities.
• Xiao Yang and the Nine Nether Master interact through a brief confrontation: the Master demands punishment, while Xiao Yang offers a trade, refuses to explain himself, and leaves.
• Xiao Yang’s plans also account for Luo Feng and future human geniuses, though they are not present in the events.

Significant themes

• Power and the unknown: Xiao Yang’s ability to evade a Universe Master unsettles the established hierarchy of strength.
• Strategic foresight and cooperation: He keeps extra resources not just for himself, but to preserve opportunities for Luo Feng and other humans.
• Long-term advancement: The chapter balances an immediate achievement—starting a powerful new clone—with the unresolved challenge of breaking through to Immortality.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang decides to pursue two goals simultaneously: comprehending the Time and Space Origin Laws and refining his secret techniques through combat.
• Since King-level Immortals can no longer challenge him, he sends avatars into dangerous secret realms frequented by Universe Venerables.
• Over several decades, his avatars fight weaker Venerables. Although equipped with offensive and defensive Supreme Treasures, Xiao Yang cannot defeat them and usually escapes using domain- and movement-based secret techniques.
• News spreads that the Origin Spear King possesses an avatar technique, and that each avatar carries two valuable Supreme Treasures. Powerful Venerables begin hunting him for easy treasure.
• One avatar enters the Thousand Treasure Secret Realm, a vast, dangerous region filled with fire seas and treasures left behind after the death of the Lord of a Thousand Treasures.
• The avatar waits for a valuable fire origin crystal to finish forming. Just as he moves to collect it, a Universe Master arrives and uses Mastery of Time and Space to freeze the area.
• Xiao Yang attempts to escape into the Game World, but the Universe Master attacks first and instantly destroys the avatar.
• The attacker approaches the damaged treasures but becomes shocked upon discovering a mysterious energy fragment inside the destroyed armor Ultimate Treasure, suggesting Xiao Yang’s loss may involve something far more significant than the two treasures.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang grows increasingly confident and proactive, using dangerous battles to improve his techniques while continuing to study the Origin Laws.
• He demonstrates caution by choosing weaker Venerables and equipping his avatars with powerful treasures, but his confidence in escaping powerful enemies leads him to underestimate the danger of a surprise attack.
• His avatars become targets because of their valuable equipment, revealing how Xiao Yang’s growing reputation creates new risks.
• The unnamed Universe Master is portrayed as calculating and ruthless, striking before Xiao Yang can activate his escape method and showing immediate interest in the mysterious energy fragment.

Significant Themes

• Risk and reward: Xiao Yang accepts increasing danger to improve his strength and acquire rare materials.
• Overconfidence and vulnerability: His previous escape from a Universe Master gives him confidence, but the ambush proves that preparation alone cannot eliminate every threat.
• The value of power and treasure: Powerful beings hunt Xiao Yang not because of personal hatred, but because his avatars carry exceptionally valuable Supreme Treasures.
• Hidden mysteries and escalating stakes: The energy fragment inside the armor implies that Xiao Yang possesses a secret or inheritance far more important than ordinary treasures.
• Fairness in conflict: Xiao Yang’s bitter reaction—“That old bastard didn’t fight fair!”—emphasizes that he expected a battle or escape opportunity, but was instead killed through a sudden, overwhelming ambush.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang’s avatars repeatedly clash with Venerables, usually fighting briefly before retreating.
• Various powerful Venerables discuss and pursue his avatars, viewing them as easy sources of Supreme Treasures.
• In the decisive encounter, Xiao Yang faces a Universe Master who freezes space-time and destroys the avatar before he can enter the Game World.
• The chapter ends with the Universe Master examining the destroyed armor and discovering the mysterious energy fragment, creating a major cliffhanger.

Key plot points and events

• In the Thousand Treasure Secret Realm, Wingyang Master ambushes and kills Origin Spear King, hoping to seize his valuable treasures and collect a bounty without revealing his identity.
• After the kill, Wingyang Master realizes the fragment left behind belongs to a true energy being—not an Immortal—and discovers that Origin Spear King is actually a World Lord.
• Stunned that a World Lord could wield power comparable to an Invincible King and contend with Venerables, Wingyang Master decides to sell this information to the Machine, Zerg, and Demon races.
• Xiao Yang senses the avatar’s death in the Game World and replaces it, sending another similarly equipped avatar out to continue training.
• The Primal Ancestor urgently summons Xiao Yang and explains that his identity has been exposed. Xiao Yang recognizes that, unlike his previous avatar deaths, this one left evidence behind.
• Xiao Yang recounts the ambush. The Primal Ancestor accepts that it was difficult to anticipate and warns that the secret will soon spread.
• Xiao Yang chooses to continue sending avatars out, welcoming the added danger as a chance to improve through tougher encounters.

Character developments

• Wingyang Master shifts from greedy confidence to shock and fear when he learns Xiao Yang’s true level, then turns that discovery into a potential opportunity for profit.
• Xiao Yang remains remarkably unfazed by the avatar’s death and the loss of its treasures. He responds to exposure not with caution, but with excitement.
• The Primal Ancestor acts protectively and seriously, alerting Xiao Yang to the risks while respecting his decision.

Significant themes

• Concealed identity and exposure: Xiao Yang’s unusual strength has been hidden, but a rare circumstance reveals the truth.
• Power beyond expectations: His World Lord status makes his already extraordinary combat ability seem almost impossible.
• Risk as a path to growth: Xiao Yang treats stronger enemies and increased danger as opportunities for training.
• The value of resources and ambition: Wingyang Master’s desire for treasures and a bounty drives his attack and his plan to sell the information.

Character interactions

• Wingyang Master’s attempt to kill Xiao Yang becomes the catalyst for uncovering and publicizing his secret.
• The Primal Ancestor warns Xiao Yang about the exposure and asks whether he will continue training outside.
• Xiao Yang explains the ambush, then firmly tells his teacher that he intends to keep going, even if more powerful enemies come after him.

Key plot points and events

• Xiao Yang says he wants to face stronger opponents to improve his nearly ultimate secret techniques and reach Immortality. His powerful inner world makes his Origin Bead difficult to break, so combat may help him progress.
• Primal Ancestor agrees, advising him to keep his true body hidden and use his soul-less, durable Tianxu Avatar for dangerous encounters. He arranges opponents so Xiao Yang can identify and correct flaws in his techniques himself.
• News spreads that Origin Spear King—an expert whose strength rivals an Elementary Venerable’s—is actually a World Lord. Humans and other races are stunned; the Human Race’s Universe Masters learn his identity is Xiao Yang but respect his privacy.
• The Zerg Queen, Mechanical Race Father God, and Dream Demon Ancestor meet to discuss killing Origin Spear King. They recognize that his lack of a soul and possession of an avatar make him exceptionally hard to eliminate.
• The three conclude that Origin Spear King is probably Xiao Yang, a human genius and Chaos City Lord’s disciple. Dream Demon Ancestor is shocked by the possibility that someone could reach such strength as a World Lord in only a few thousand years.

Character developments

• Xiao Yang is ambitious and willing to seek danger for the sake of advancement, while relying on his avatar to protect his true body.
• Primal Ancestor acts as a careful mentor: he protects Xiao Yang but encourages him to learn through experience rather than simply being told his techniques’ flaws.
• The Zerg Queen, Mechanical Race Father God, and Dream Demon Ancestor treat Xiao Yang as a major shared threat and begin considering how to counter him.

Significant themes

• Growth through struggle: Xiao Yang sees battle as a way to refine his techniques and break through a major cultivation barrier.
• Secrecy and protection: His hidden identity and avatar allow him to pursue advancement while limiting danger to his true body.
• The fear inspired by exceptional talent: Xiao Yang’s revelation unsettles even the universe’s most powerful beings.
• Unlikely alliances: Rival races cooperate when faced with a threat they consider potentially comparable to Primal Ancestor.

Character interactions

• Xiao Yang explains his goals to Primal Ancestor, who counsels caution and arranges challenging opponents.
• Human Universe Masters question Chaos City Lord about Origin Spear King, then refrain from pressing further once they learn Xiao Yang’s identity.
• The three enemy leaders exchange information—amid a brief clash between Dream Demon Ancestor and the Zerg Queen—before focusing on the difficulty of eliminating Xiao Yang.

Plot points and events

• The Demon, Machine, and Zerg leaders conclude that the mysterious Origin Spear King is almost certainly Xiao Yang. They believe he may be an Invincible King—or even an Elementary Venerable—despite still being a World Lord.
• They realize Xiao Yang has stayed in Chaos City while his Heavenly Void Clone has fought on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. They cannot safely reach him there, and killing one clone would not eliminate him.
• Unable to find a direct way to kill Xiao Yang, the three leaders agree to launch a large-scale war against the Human Race, hoping to draw him out and weaken humanity. If that fails, they plan to wait until he enters the Cosmic Sea and ambush him there.
• The Zerg Queen agrees to alert the others if Xiao Yang leaves Chaos City.
• The Human Race soon suffers sharply increased casualties on the battlefield as forces from all three rival races surround its fighters.
• At the Giant Axe Temple, the Human Race’s Universe Masters debate how to respond. Giant Axe and Peng Gong favor retaliation, while the Chaos City Lord urges restraint: he recommends keeping their Universe Masters out of the fighting, withdrawing temporarily, and avoiding losses that would require costly resurrections.

Character developments and interactions

• The Mechanical Race Father God takes the lead in devising a strategy, acknowledging that he can find no reliable way to eliminate Xiao Yang directly.
• The Dream Demon Ancestor is initially reluctant to believe Xiao Yang is the Origin Spear King, but accepts the evidence and eagerly supports the joint attack.
• The Zerg Queen confirms Xiao Yang’s public presence in Chaos City and offers to monitor his movements.
• The Chaos City Lord acts as the cautious strategist among the Human leaders, balancing their anger against the risk of catastrophic losses.
• Giant Axe and Lord Peng Gong express the Human Race’s fury and desire to fight back; the other Universe Masters share their anger, though they understand the risks.

Significant themes

• Fear of a rising power: Xiao Yang’s rapid growth alarms the rival races and shapes their strategy.
• Indirect warfare and sacrifice: Unable to reach Xiao Yang, the three races target the Human Race as a whole to weaken it and potentially force him into battle.
• Restraint versus retaliation: The Human leaders must choose between answering aggression with force and preserving their strength through withdrawal.
• Fragile alliances: The three enemy races unite for advantage, but the Chaos City Lord believes their mutual grudges will eventually undermine their cooperation.

Key plot points and events

• Lord Peng Gong notices a large stock of rare divine-power-restoring crops and asks where they came from. The Chaos City Lord explains that Xiao Yang supplied them.
• The Human Race’s Universe Masters realize these crops could give them a major advantage in the war by replenishing divine power and allowing warriors to keep fighting—or even risk breakthrough attempts.
• When asked whether he can provide more, Xiao Yang replies, “As much as you need.” The Human Race begins stockpiling universe crystals to buy them and commits to confronting the three allied races.
• Xiao Yang learns that the war has drawn powerful warriors, including Venerables, to the Extraterrestrial Battlefield. Eager to test his techniques and fight enemies, he sends his avatars there and prepares to go himself.
• The Human Race promises free resurrection to any warrior who dies on the battlefield. Human warriors rush there, encouraged by improved military rewards and the reduced cost of failure. Many go without valuable equipment or self-destruct before death, leaving the enemy little loot.
• In response, the three opposing races also announce free resurrection and raise their own battlefield rewards.

Character developments

• Xiao Yang accepts that his actions helped trigger the war but sees the battlefield as an opportunity to train and defeat alien warriors. He is also willing to supply the Human Race with as many restorative crops as it needs.
• The Chaos City Lord and other Human Race leaders move from concern about the war’s costs to confidence that Xiao Yang’s crops and their resources can sustain a prolonged fight.
• The Human Race’s warriors become far more willing to take risks once death no longer means permanent loss.

Character interactions

• Lord Peng Gong’s questions prompt the Chaos City Lord to reveal Xiao Yang’s role as the supplier.
• The Universe Masters discuss the crops’ strategic value and agree to buy more; the Chaos City Lord contacts Xiao Yang, who readily agrees.
• The Human Race’s free-resurrection policy changes how its warriors engage with their alien opponents, prompting the three races to adopt matching incentives.

Significant themes

• Loyalty and the value of potential: The Human Race refuses to surrender Xiao Yang, recognizing his promise despite the war’s connection to him.
• Resurrection as a strategic resource: Removing the fear of permanent death transforms individual battlefield risk-taking and the wider balance of war.
• Escalation and competition: Each side responds to the other’s advantages with stronger rewards and policies, intensifying the conflict.
• Opportunity within crisis: Xiao Yang treats the dangerous battlefield as a chance to improve his skills and pursue his goals.

Plot points and events

• Star Tower, an unclaimed Supreme Ultimate Treasure created by Yuan, draws King-level warriors hoping to claim it or obtain valuable Sealing Stars. With the racial war underway, many Venerables from the three allied races have also entered, while Human Venerables largely avoid the danger of being trapped and surrounded.
• Xiao Yang enters Star Tower using his Heavenly Void Clone and an avatar, keeping his true body safe. He is curious about the tower and hopes to find opponents to help refine his secret techniques—not to claim the tower or take Luo Feng’s opportunity.
• Inside, Puti—a Universe Master with limited authority over Star Tower—recognizes Xiao Yang as an unusual member of the Earth Lineage. Puti notes that Xiao Yang remains a World Lord despite fighting powerful Immortals and decides to give him an opportunity.
• Xiao Yang follows a spatial passage into a secluded area, where nine Sealing Stars are rising from the ocean around an island. He cannot claim them before they fully emerge and realizes their unusual number was arranged by someone controlling the tower.
• Three more spatial passages then appear, suggesting the setup is about to draw additional visitors into the space.

Character developments and interactions

• Xiao Yang is cautious but curious: he limits his risk by sending clones, respects Luo Feng’s future opportunity, and remains alert to signs that the tower is being manipulated.
• Puti shows interest in Xiao Yang because they share the Earth Lineage. He quietly alters Star Tower’s spaces to create an opportunity, leaving its outcome to Xiao Yang.
• Sitting Mountain Guest is identified as the Sealing Stars’ maker and the figure who granted Puti limited control over Star Tower. The chapter leaves open whether he or Puti arranged the nine-star appearance.
• Puti observes Xiao Yang from afar; they have not yet met directly.

Significant themes

• Opportunity and agency: Puti can create an opening, but Xiao Yang must decide how to use it.
• Caution amid ambition: Many warriors risk entering Star Tower for immense rewards, while Xiao Yang carefully limits his exposure.
• Lineage and mentorship: Puti’s connection to the Earth Lineage motivates him to help Xiao Yang.
• Hidden control and mystery: Star Tower’s origins and secret authority shape events behind the scenes, even as most warriors remain unaware of them.

Key events

• Three spatial passages open onto Xiao Yang’s island, bringing Venerable Shi Jin of the Demon Race, Venerable Ling Bing of the Zerg, and Venerable Mu Yan of the Machine Race.
• All three are delighted to find nine Sealing Stars—and then recognize Xiao Yang. They attack him together, hoping to earn merit for killing him and claim his Supreme Treasures.
• Their combined assault includes powerful secret techniques, a million Zerg Warriors, and hundreds of millions of Mechanical Puppets.
• Xiao Yang’s armor and defensive technique greatly reduce the damage, but he is still wounded. The attackers take this as proof that he has not brought his dangerous Flame Star Vine clone and intensify their attack.
• Near death, Xiao Yang keeps countering attacks and consuming crops to sustain himself. Rather than escape into the Game World or a Palace Supreme Treasure, he remains to sharpen his secret techniques. New ideas occur to him as the chapter ends.

Character developments

• Xiao Yang faces his most desperate fight in a long while. The danger makes his thinking unusually clear, and he remains focused on experimentation rather than survival.
• Shi Jin, Ling Bing, and Mu Yan act pragmatically and in concert, setting aside any potential rivalry over the spoils until after Xiao Yang is defeated.

Themes

• Growth through danger: Xiao Yang treats a life-threatening battle as an opportunity to refine his abilities.
• Power and vulnerability: Despite his exceptional techniques, Xiao Yang’s World Lord body is less durable than an Immortal’s, and being outnumbered leaves him in grave danger.
• Calculated risk: He is willing to sacrifice a clone for improvement, but the decision to keep fighting still carries real consequences.

Character interactions

• The three Venerables briefly assess one another, then unite against Xiao Yang.
• Xiao Yang meets their coordinated attacks with counterattacks, while their forces overwhelm him through sheer numbers.
• The Venerables’ excitement at seeing him injured contrasts with Xiao Yang’s calm, experimental focus under pressure.

Key plot points and events

• While Xiao Yang’s avatars fight and study laws, his original body uses a hundredfold-accelerated Time Chamber to refine his secret skill. Shared consciousness lets him learn from the Heavenly Void Clone’s battle.
• Inside the Star Tower, the clone struggles against Venerables Shi Jin, Spirit Ice, and Mu Yan, surviving by repeatedly using Domain to evade their attacks. Their Zerg Warriors and Mechanical Puppets also suffer losses.
• The three Venerables notice that Xiao Yang’s secret skill is growing stronger during the fight. He is refining it in real time, an achievement they find astonishing—and alarming.
• Xiao Yang makes a breakthrough, incorporating all ten origin laws into his secret skill. He stops moving, takes out an Ultimate Treasure spear, and unleashes a universe-spanning attack.
• The Venerables, their forces, and Shi Jin’s detonated Fire God Source Crystals combine their attacks to counter it, but the spear phantom overwhelms them and knocks all three backward, slightly reducing their divine power.

Character developments

• Xiao Yang shows exceptional composure and adaptability: he uses the pressure of the fight to accelerate his growth, then reveals a dramatically stronger technique. His focus remains on testing himself rather than reacting to his opponents’ fear or greed.
• The three Venerables shift from confidence that they can quickly defeat Xiao Yang to shock and apprehension as they witness his rapid improvement. Their brief greed at the sight of the spear gives way to urgent cooperation.

Significant themes

• Growth through adversity: The Venerables’ relentless pressure helps unlock Xiao Yang’s potential.
• Exceptional talent and ambition: Xiao Yang continues advancing at a pace the universe’s most powerful figures consider impossible.
• Unity against a greater threat: Former enemies coordinate instinctively when faced with an attack none can withstand alone.

Character interactions

• The three Venerables fight together against Xiao Yang and coordinate their forces when his new attack appears.
• Xiao Yang’s original body and Heavenly Void Clone share consciousness, linking the clone’s combat experience to the original’s secret-skill refinement.

Chapter Summary: “Puti’s Regret”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang’s newly perfected spear technique proves overwhelmingly powerful. Though each strike erases only a small portion of the three Venerables’ Divine Power, the combined attacks still injure them and could eventually kill them.
• The three Venerables—led by Venerable Shi Jin—recognize that Xiao Yang’s technique has advanced from a Peak Secret Technique to an Immortal Level Ultimate Secret Technique, one that can rival a Venerable Level Peak Secret Technique in power and surpass it in intricacy.
• Xiao Yang achieved this breakthrough during the battle, in less than a day—or, at most, a few years under accelerated time flow. Such an accomplishment is nearly unheard of, especially for a World Lord.
• Trapped in the mysterious space, the Venerables cannot escape because the spatial passages appear randomly and their original exits have disappeared. Realizing that prolonged combat will lead to their deaths, they decide to burn their Divine Power.
• After burning their Divine Power, the three Venerables attack Xiao Yang together, intending to kill him quickly before their precious energy is depleted.
• Xiao Yang knows that he cannot defeat them through ordinary means once they burn their Divine Power, but he remains calm because he has deliberately withheld several trump cards.
• As the Venerables charge, Xiao Yang summons countless flame-covered vines: the Flame Star Vine, his famous plant-life treasure, whose strength is formidable enough to trouble even a Universe Overlord.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang: His combat talent and adaptability reach a new level. Under extreme pressure, he successfully refines his spear technique into an Ultimate Secret Technique. His calmness shows his confidence and strategic patience; he endured the battle not because he lacked options, but because he needed the pressure to complete his breakthrough.
• Venerable Shi Jin and the other two Venerables: Their confidence collapses as they repeatedly revise their assessment of Xiao Yang. They move from viewing him as merely a powerful World Lord to recognizing him as a potentially fatal opponent. Their decision to burn Divine Power reflects both desperation and fear.
• Puti: He is profoundly shocked by Xiao Yang’s talent. His admiration turns into regret that Xiao Yang was not chosen as Sitting Mountain Guest’s disciple. Puti even briefly considers killing Luo Feng so Xiao Yang could inherit the opportunity, though he understands this is unrealistic. His loyalty to Sitting Mountain Guest and concern for the master’s legacy are emphasized.

Significant Themes

• Genius beyond established limits: Xiao Yang accomplishes something that even many powerful Venerables could not do, challenging conventional ideas about cultivation and talent.
• Growth through combat: The battle itself becomes the catalyst for Xiao Yang’s breakthrough, showing how pressure and life-threatening conflict can accelerate mastery.
• Desperation versus preparation: The Venerables expend their valuable Divine Power in a final attempt to win, while Xiao Yang reveals that he has been preserving hidden resources for the decisive moment.
• Regret and missed opportunities: Puti’s thoughts focus on the tragedy of talent being overlooked and on the consequences of Sitting Mountain Guest choosing Luo Feng instead of Xiao Yang.
• The limits of status: Xiao Yang is still only a World Lord, yet his abilities approach or surpass those of far higher-level experts, suggesting that cultivation rank does not always determine true strength.

Character Interactions

• The three Venerables fight in coordination and mutually recognize that none of them could defeat Xiao Yang alone.
• Their exchanges are mostly unspoken, conveyed through glances and shared bitterness, as they collectively accept that they must risk burning their Divine Power.
• Puti observes the battle from within the Star Tower and mentally compares Xiao Yang with Luo Feng, revealing his conflicting loyalty, admiration, and regret.
• Xiao Yang’s confrontation with the Venerables shifts dramatically when he counters their final assault by unleashing the Flame Star Vine, ending the chapter on the revelation of another terrifying weapon.
