Ch. 401Taking Turns as Duan Donghe?
Key plot points and events
- After becoming a True God, Xiao Yang will lose his ability to use multiple bodies and disposable avatars, making the life-preserving art Undying River especially important for future dangers.
- Duan Donghe finishes showing him the Inheritance Space and hands over full control before fading away for good. Xiao Yang bows in farewell.
- Xiao Yang inspects the hundreds of Origin Embryos, then uses several avatars to review the inheritance materials. He discovers that, unlike his avatars in the Primordial Universe and Tomb Ship, those in the Game World can access material beyond the True God level.
- After organizing the inheritance, Xiao Yang convenes the Human Race’s Supreme Council and explains that inheritances above True God can only be viewed after passing through reincarnation. Beyond True God, advancement involves fusing the ten origin laws into the Chaos Law.
- He reveals that the inheritance’s shareable materials can be distributed, while the core inheritance must remain within the Human Race. He proposes that its leaders inherit it in turn.
- The others worry that they cannot pass the trials. Xiao Yang explains that, besides comprehension, candidates can qualify through the Divine Power Path by reaching a sixty-thousandfold gene multiplier. He hopes to help raise their gene levels after becoming a Universe Master.
- Giant Axe is discouraged because he cannot use Wild Ginseng to boost his genes. Xiao Yang reassures him that he can still attempt the trials, with Xiao Yang able to provide extra time and modestly ease the difficulty within his authority.
Character developments and interactions
- Xiao Yang moves from receiving Duan Donghe’s legacy to planning how it can benefit the whole Human Race. He is candid about what he can and cannot change, while showing confidence in finding another route for his allies.
- Duan Donghe completes his role as guide and relinquishes control, leaving Xiao Yang with both the inheritance and responsibility for it.
- Primal Ancestor listens closely to the explanation of the higher realms and begins to grasp the path beyond the True God limit.
- Giant Axe voices the group’s concern about the trials, then feels left out when the gene-multiplier route is proposed. Xiao Yang personally encourages him.
- The Human Race’s leaders move from anxious questioning to excitement at the prospect of sharing the core inheritance.
Significant themes
- Legacy and responsibility: Xiao Yang inherits Duan Donghe’s space and considers how to preserve its benefits for his people.
- Knowledge and access: The ability to view higher-level inheritance depends on one’s circumstances and whether the information is already known.

- Limits and ingenuity: He cannot alter the trials outright, but identifies alternative paths and ways to help others meet the requirements.
