Ch. 441The Beast Ancestor's Opportunity?
Plot points and events
- After reaching the third stage of the divine power path, Xiao Yang tests Size at Will in the Game World, where the Primordial Universe’s size restrictions do not apply.
- His Nether Sea Clone and its avatar can each expand to their natural limit of one hundred light-years. The clone transfers nearly half its divine power to Xiao Yang’s original body, allowing it to grow to its current limit of one thousand light-years before shrinking back to normal form.
- Despite returning to his usual size, Xiao Yang can now use his full combat strength. He gives the depleted Nether Sea Clone crops to help it recover, then returns to studying biological materials and genetic maps.
- In the Tilted Peak Realm’s dangerous Netherworld Blood Sea, the Beast Ancestor continues searching for valuable treasures. Having learned that humanity controls the Primordial Universe, he has avoided returning for more than a million years.
- The Beast Ancestor spots a palace emerging from the churning sea. Sensing it may be a Supreme Ultimate Treasure palace, he approaches in his own palace and waits cautiously for it to surface.
Character developments and interactions
- Xiao Yang gains better control over his immense divine power: he can maintain a normal appearance without sacrificing combat strength. He continues his research even as his Nether Sea Clone recovers.
- The Beast Ancestor has become a cautious exile, abandoning hope of returning to the Primordial Universe and focusing instead on opportunities in the forbidden regions.
- Xiao Yang supports his Nether Sea Clone by providing restorative crops. The Beast Ancestor, meanwhile, interacts with the newly spotted palace only from a guarded distance.
Significant themes
- Limits and potential: Divine bodies have inherent growth limits, but universal rules can impose separate restrictions; the Game World reveals how far Xiao Yang’s bodies can truly expand.
- Power and vulnerability: Xiao Yang’s strength depends on enormous reserves of divine power, while even the Beast Ancestor must avoid the Blood Sea’s corrosive waters and dangerous spirits.
- Exile and opportunity: Human dominance drives rival powerhouses away from the Primordial Universe, turning the perilous forbidden regions into their best prospects for advancement and treasure.
