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.

  • The map marks a site in the rarely explored Dim Land. Trusting it to navigate the disorienting region, the Beast Ancestor travels there and finds a Supreme Ultimate Treasure axe.
  • Before he can leave, a powerful, grotesque World Beast named Jie enters his domain. The Beast Ancestor senses that Jie is far above him and prepares to survive rather than fight.
  • To stall for time, the Beast Ancestor offers to cooperate against the Human Race and explains what he knows about Xiao Yang, the Many-Treasure Lord. Jie learns that Xiao Yang became immensely powerful despite being only a little over a million years old, then shares this information with the other World Beasts.

Character developments

  • Beast Ancestor: His fortunes improve with the palace, map, and axe, but his first encounter with Jie exposes how outmatched he remains. He responds pragmatically, hiding his fear and using conversation to buy time.
  • Jie: Proud and contemptuous, he nevertheless recognizes Xiao Yang’s extraordinary talent. His interest in the information reflects the World Beasts’ focus on Xiao Yang as their common target.

Significant themes

  • Preparation and risk: The Beast Ancestor avoids the Blood Sea’s danger and relies on the map to venture into the Dim Land.

  • The Human Race urgently summons Xiao Yang to the Many Treasures Temple. Its expanded circular layout reflects the growing number of human Universe Masters and the hierarchy among them: Giant Axe, the Primal Ancestor, and Xiao Yang occupy the three central seats. The Primal Ancestor calls on the Dry Witch Lord to explain the matter.

Character developments and interactions

  • Jie proves himself ruthless and powerful, killing the Beast Ancestor with a surprise soul attack. His appetite shifts from curiosity to strong anticipation of devouring greater cosmic targets, though he restrains himself for now.

Plot and key events

  • Xiao Yang and his allies sense the God King of Jin’s enormous corpse hurtling through the Cosmic Sea toward the Primordial Universe at 120 million times the speed of light. Its shock waves alone threaten nearby powerhouses, and a collision could devastate the Human Race.
  • Xiao Yang proposes redirecting the corpse into the Universe Boat rather than letting it strike the Primordial Universe. Giant Axe and the Chaos City Lord agree.
  • The Human Race gathers nearly 200,000 Venerables and other powerhouses. Xiao Yang transports them in a palace treasure to positions along the corpse’s route.

Ch. 446The Fourth Deadly Place!

Plot points and events

  • The Human Race repeatedly attacks the drifting corpse of the God King of Jin. Their strikes cannot damage it, but they gradually alter its trajectory, steering it away from the Primordial Universe and toward the Universe Boat.
  • After more than a thousand years, other Cosmic Sea factions discover the object’s course and suspect it may conceal a major opportunity. Many gather near the Universe Boat, while those inside evacuate to avoid the collision.
  • The corpse hits the Universe Boat at tremendous speed, blasting fragments loose and sending the vessel tumbling. The shock wave destroys nearby perilous regions and kills unprepared experts; even distant Human Race ships are swept aside, though Xiao Yang’s Palace Supreme Treasure holds.
  • The collision slows the corpse. It strikes the Universe Boat a second time, then finally comes to a stop. Xiao Yang leads the Human Race through a Star Gate to investigate.
  • Meanwhile, the Primordial Universe Will warns the Three Ancestor Gods that a crisis called the “Fourth Deadly Place” has appeared in the Cosmic Sea, and connects the danger to the Human Race and Xiao Yang. The Ancestor Gods decide to warn the Human Race first.

  • The Three Ancestor Gods tell Xiao Yang that the fourth forbidden land is Jin World, brought into the Cosmic Sea by the Primordial Universe Will. It can be entered through the being’s mouth, but only when its Miniature Universe membrane changes—once every ten thousand years. Entering at the wrong time means annihilation.
  • They explain that Jin World holds the key to defeating the World Beasts, whose evolution is accelerating and whose growth stage will arrive sooner than expected.
  • Xiao Yang agrees that the Ancestor Gods may spread the entry method to the other Cosmic Sea powers. He remains confident that they pose little threat to him or the Human Race.

Ch. 448World Beast Crisis

Key events

  • Xiao Yang reveals that roughly a billion World Beasts are hidden in the Tilted Peak Realm. Even after they devour one another, tens of millions may remain, each as powerful as a Strongest Being in the Universe. The Human Race’s few hundred such fighters appear hopelessly outnumbered.
  • Xiao Yang argues there is still hope: he believes he can handle the crisis, and a True God whose Gene Level reaches 100,000 times will have a Miniature Universe the World Beasts cannot devour. His own Gene Level is already 99,999 times.
  • He adds that defeating the World Beasts could secure the Primal Ancestor’s release from the Virtual Universe. This delights the Human Race’s experts and gives the Primal Ancestor renewed hope.

  • Purple Moon Ancestor concludes that the Primordial Universe may be nurturing exceptional geniuses—first the Primal Ancestor, now Xiao Yang—to resist the World Beasts and save itself from being devoured.
  • Hoping to strengthen his own position, Purple Moon orders his experts into Jin World to seek legacies. He suspects one of its danger zones contains a God King’s remains and believes any recovered inheritance could help him rebuild his Miniature Universe. He also tells his followers to avoid provoking the Human Race for now, viewing Xiao Yang and the Many-Treasure Lord as valuable sources of hope.
  • As Jin World’s Miniature Universe opens, Xiao Yang leads the Human Race’s experts to the God King of Jin’s mouth. The group enters through the enormous abyss, but Xiao Yang stays outside because he has little interest in Jin World and would rather study the Genetic Map.
  • Xiao Yang discovers that his Star Gate Secret Art cannot take him into Jin World from outside, though it works once he is inside. He also senses that Jin World weakens the restrictions of the Primordial Universe and Supreme Rules, allowing Divine Power to function more freely.
  • Xiao Yang confirms he can enter Jin World by traveling through the Game World, then returns there.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang remains focused on his own research rather than exploring Jin World immediately. He tests the limits of his abilities methodically and finds an alternate route through the Game World.
  • Candri, now a Universe Master, volunteers an Avatar to test Jin World’s membrane. Once it proves passable, the gathered experts enter.
  • The Cosmic Sea experts make way for Xiao Yang, underscoring his standing and influence.

Significant themes

  • Survival against overwhelming threats: The Primordial Universe and its inhabitants seek any chance of resisting the World Beasts.
  • Hope and preparation: Purple Moon balances optimism about new geniuses with practical efforts to secure powerful legacies.
  • Power and restriction: Jin World’s looser rules reveal how strongly the Supreme Rules limit beings in the Cosmic Sea.
  • Exploration and ingenuity: Xiao Yang’s experiments show that understanding a realm’s boundaries—and finding alternate ways around them—can matter as much as raw strength.

Ch. 450World Beast Heads for the Cosmic Sea!

Key plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang leaves open the option of returning to Jin World and sends his Star Gate Vine Clone back to cultivate in the Manor.
  • In Jin World, the Human Race’s experts hide inside Luo Feng’s Star Tower while the Chaos City Lord distributes Memory Stones. They confirm that Jin World allows them to study inheritances beyond the True God level and learn about the ranks above it: Void True God, Eternal True God, Chaos Master, and God King.
  • The group recognizes this knowledge as a major opportunity. The Chaos City Lord tells those who want to study to leave Divine Power Avatars behind, while the others explore Jin World and seek more inheritances for the Human Race.
  • Jie, now a powerful second-rank World Beast after a million years of evolution, learns that a Fourth Deadly Place has appeared in the Cosmic Sea and that many experts may be absent. Craving the taste of Minor Universe Origins, he leaves Dim Land and heads toward Tilted Peak Realm.
  • In the Game World’s biological laboratory, Xiao Yang and his Nether Sea Clones analyze samples from creatures with Hundred Thousand Times Gene. Xiao Yang compares their genetic structures with the World Beast’s, while his true-self avatar attempts another gene recombination.

  • Scientific discovery and persistence: Xiao Yang’s careful comparison of genetic material shows his ongoing effort to uncover how different life forms relate and to improve through experimentation.

Ch. 451Jie's First Taste of the Cosmic Sea

Key plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang tries to reshape his original-body avatar’s divine power into 100,000 miniature versions of himself, but the avatar collapses before the attempt succeeds. His real setback is that he has exhausted his supply of World Beast blood. He creates another avatar to cultivate while the Nether Sea Clone continues studying biological materials.
  • Xiao Yang sends a Tianxu Avatar back into the Dim Land to hunt another World Beast. The creatures are now scarce and widely dispersed, so finding one may take a long time.
  • Jie reaches the Outer Region of the Tilted Peak Realm after years of travel without encountering anyone. Most Cosmic Sea experts have left for Jin World, drawn by its beyond-True-God inheritances, Eternal True God experts, and plentiful Supreme Ultimate Treasures.
  • On the way to a Miniature Universe, Jie is caught in a Universe Master’s Domain-type Supreme Treasure. Jie overwhelms it with black power, drains the divine power in the foe’s armor, and leaves the Universe Master trapped but unharmed. An ugly Alien Beast then appears before him.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang remains methodical: when an experiment fails, he shifts to cultivation and material-gathering rather than dwelling on the loss. He also recognizes that higher-grade World Beast material could eventually let him study the Destruction Origin Great Dao.
  • Jie shows confidence and predatory curiosity. He treats the trapped Universe Master’s domain as an unexpected snack and demonstrates overwhelming control, yet deliberately stops short of destroying his opponent.
  • The Universe Master moves from probing the area to panic as his domain and armor are neutralized. He considers self-destruction but hesitates because Jie has not attacked his body.
  • Jie’s first direct encounter with a Cosmic Sea expert ends in a tense standoff, interrupted by the arrival of the Alien Beast.

Significant themes

  • Scarcity and progress: Xiao Yang’s research depends on rare, low-grade materials, while the dwindling World Beast population makes advancement harder.
  • A shifting balance of power: The Human Race’s gains in Jin World drive other factions to pursue power more urgently, fearing they will be left behind.
  • Curiosity and danger: Jie approaches the Cosmic Sea as something to explore and consume, while others experience his power as an existential threat.

Ch. 454A Plea for Help

Key plot points and events

  • The World Beast Jie ambushes and completely devours Lord Cha An despite his attempt to defend himself. Cha An is later restored in Fire Insect True Lord’s Miniature Universe and reports that the creature’s attack felt like being eaten, not merely killed.
  • Realizing that a World Beast is consuming his Miniature Universe’s origin, Fire Insect True Lord urgently alerts powers throughout the Cosmic Sea—including hostile factions—and appeals especially to the Human Race.
  • On Earth, Xiao Yang receives the news through the Virtual Universe. The Human Race experts fear that a World Beast King may have appeared, but Xiao Yang argues that the attacker is probably only a second- or third-order World Beast: a King would devour a Miniature Universe far faster.
  • Xiao Yang agrees to confront the creature and leads Giant Axe and other powerful Human Race members toward Fire Insect’s universe. Blood Orchid Ancestor arrives first.

Character developments and interactions

  • Lord Cha An experiences helpless terror after being devoured, revealing how profoundly different and frightening a World Beast’s attack is from ordinary death.
  • Fire Insect True Lord sets aside political hostility and seeks help from all available powers, prioritizing survival over old rivalries.

  • Cooperation in a crisis: Fire Insect’s appeal across factional lines shows that the World Beast threat may force former rivals to work together.
  • Leadership and reassurance: Xiao Yang’s knowledge and calm help steady the Human Race in the face of an unfamiliar threat.
  • Uncertainty and urgency: The group must act quickly while the World Beast steadily drains Fire Insect’s universe and its true strength remains uncertain.

Ch. 455The Cosmic Sea's First Battle Against a World Beast

Key events

  • Fire Insect True Lord calls for help as the World Beast Jie devours his Miniature Universe. Blood Orchid Ancestor arrives first; other powerful beings are delayed, wary of risking their own universes, or too far away.
  • Blood Orchid and Fire Insect attack Jie together. Their attacks can blunt some of his tendrils, but his power cancels out Divine Power rather than simply overpowering their techniques.
  • Jie’s tendrils overwhelm them. Blood Orchid retreats into her Palace-type Supreme Ultimate Treasure, only to discover that Jie’s power drains its Divine Power and damages the treasure.
  • Fire Insect’s Domain-type treasure is rendered nearly useless. Jie traps him in a black-mist cocoon that drains his Divine Power and resists Blood Orchid’s attempts to break him free.
  • As Fire Insect grows desperate, more Strongest Beings arrive. Blood Orchid warns them about Jie’s power and asks them to help.

Character developments and interactions

  • Blood Orchid Ancestor begins confident that her exceptionally strong will may help against a World Beast. After seeing Jie’s power firsthand, she regrets attacking before reinforcements arrived and recognizes the importance of Soul- and Palace-type treasures.
  • Fire Insect True Lord acts decisively to defend his universe, but is quickly trapped and reduced to pleading for help through his Divine Power Avatar.
  • The pair cooperate against Jie, yet their attacks are insufficient. Blood Orchid tries to rescue Fire Insect while simultaneously defending herself, highlighting the limits of their combined strength.
  • Their arrival underscores a broader lack of unity: some potential allies hesitate out of fear, while others cannot reach the battlefield in time.

Significant themes

  • The World Beast’s threat: Its power is fundamentally opposed to Divine Power, making conventional attacks and treasures unreliable.
  • The cost of acting without preparation: Blood Orchid and Fire Insect attack before enough allies arrive and are rapidly put on the defensive.
  • Cooperation against overwhelming danger: Reinforcements become essential as individual strength proves inadequate.
  • Sacrifice and self-preservation: The delayed response reflects the tension between defending another’s universe and protecting one’s own.

Ch. 456The Desperate Fighters of the Cosmic Sea and Xiao Yang's Arrival!

Summary

The Cosmic Sea’s Strongest Beings join the Blood Orchid Ancestor in attacking Jie, the World Beast, who has trapped the Fire Insect True Lord inside a black cocoon. Their divine power and secret arts are repeatedly canceled by the black mist, making their attacks ineffective. Realizing that attacks from inside and outside weaken Jie when coordinated, the Fire Insect True Lord decides to burn part of his Minor Universe Origin and launch a desperate assault from within. The others agree to attack simultaneously from outside.
The combined assault nearly breaks the cocoon, forcing Jie to expend much more power. Furious that his intended “prey” is resisting, Jie unleashes a terrifying, soundless Will Impact. The attack severely damages the fighters’ souls, freezing most of them and leaving one particularly weak fighter on the brink of Soul Annihilation. Jie then traps that injured fighter in another black cocoon, preparing to devour the group one by one. The survivors realize firsthand why a powerful soul and a Soul-type Supreme Ultimate Treasure are essential when fighting a World Beast.
At the critical moment, a Star Gate appears and Xiao Yang arrives with numerous Palace-type Supreme Ultimate Treasures, led by his golden, dragon-carved palace. Jie recognizes Xiao Yang—the Human Race’s Many-Treasure Lord—as the creature most hated and feared by the World Beasts. He immediately splits into ninety-nine figures and attempts to flee.
Xiao Yang prevents his escape by deploying the Sea of Fire Domain, which drastically slows Jie, followed by a gigantic mountain range that further suppresses him. Faced with Xiao Yang’s overwhelming restraint, Jie activates the Blood-Burning Secret Art, causing all his avatars to burn their power in an effort to break free. Concerned that this will damage the “materials” he wants to obtain from the World Beast, Xiao Yang responds by creating dozens of avatars. These avatars attack and rapidly suppress many of Jie’s copies inside Palace Supreme Ultimate Treasures.

Character Developments and Interactions

  • Fire Insect True Lord: Displays desperation and resolve by burning his Minor Universe Origin to attack Jie from inside the cocoon, accepting enormous personal loss rather than passively being devoured.
  • Blood Orchid Ancestor and the Cosmic Sea fighters: Cooperate with the Fire Insect True Lord and launch a coordinated attack, but their limited wills and insufficient soul defenses leave them vulnerable to Jie’s Will Impact. Their confidence turns into fear and despair as they recognize the World Beast’s true danger.
  • Jie: Reveals arrogance and rage, viewing the Cosmic Sea fighters as inferior creatures whose Origins should be consumed obediently. When resisted, he uses his powerful Will Impact and attempts to devour the weakened fighters. His confidence changes to alarm upon Xiao Yang’s arrival.
  • Xiao Yang: Enters as a dominant force and hunter rather than a rescuer acting defensively. He intends to capture Jie for World Beast materials and equipment production, but reacts decisively when Jie uses Blood Burning and threatens to damage his valuable target.
  • Jie and Xiao Yang: Their mutual recognition establishes Xiao Yang as a uniquely dangerous enemy of the World Beasts. Jie immediately prioritizes escape, while Xiao Yang deliberately traps and overwhelms him.

Significant Themes

  • Desperate resistance and sacrifice: The fighters must risk their Origins and lives because ordinary attacks cannot overcome the World Beast.
  • The importance of will and soul defense: Jie’s Will Impact demonstrates that physical or divine power alone is insufficient; survival against a World Beast requires exceptional willpower and Soul-type Supreme Ultimate Treasures.
  • Predator versus prey: Jie considers the Cosmic Sea fighters mere food, but Xiao Yang reverses the relationship by treating Jie as valuable material to be captured.
  • Power hierarchy and preparation: The arrival of Xiao Yang’s many Supreme Ultimate Treasures sharply contrasts with the fighters’ inadequate equipment and shows how preparation determines survival.
  • Arrogance challenged by superior force: Jie’s contempt for the Cosmic Sea beings collapses once Xiao Yang arrives and places him under overwhelming restraint.

Ch. 457Are World Beasts Really That Weak?

Key plot points

  • Xiao Yang effortlessly suppresses and captures all of Jie’s Avatars, despite Jie using Blood Burning. He explains that the victory reflects his own strength—not the weakness of World Beasts—and says he has reached the level of a true Void True God.
  • The Human Race experts, having barely seen the fight, assume World Beasts may not be very strong. Xiao Yang offers them a chance to test that belief inside his palace.
  • Most struggle against even a World Beast Avatar and are rescued by Xiao Yang. Giant Axe, Luo Feng, the Chaos City Lord, the Darkness Lord, and a few others fare better.
  • Xiao Yang urges the Human Race to grow stronger while Jin World remains, explaining that it may disappear after the World Beast Crisis ends. He gives Luo Feng some World Beast Blood for research.
  • The rescued Cosmic Sea experts thank Xiao Yang, and news of both the World Beasts’ danger and Xiao Yang’s overwhelming power spreads. Other factions warn their people not to provoke the Human Race.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang demonstrates overwhelming power and refined skill, but also uses the palace sparring sessions to correct his allies’ complacency and prepare them for future threats. He declines the Fire Insect True Lord’s reward, saying he acted to capture a World Beast for study.
  • The Human Race experts move from confidence to fear after experiencing the World Beasts firsthand. Their eagerness to test themselves gives way to embarrassment and respect for Xiao Yang’s warning.
  • The Cosmic Sea experts, including the Fire Insect True Lord and Blood Orchid Ancestor, are grateful for Xiao Yang’s rescue and increasingly wary of the Human Race.
  • Jie is shocked to discover that even Xiao Yang’s Avatars overpower him, leaving him unable to escape.

Significant themes

  • Strength depends on perspective: World Beasts are not weak; Xiao Yang is exceptionally powerful.
  • Preparation through experience: The Human Race must confront its assumptions and train for the coming crisis.
  • Power and political influence: Xiao Yang’s feat changes how the wider Cosmic Sea views the Human Race, deterring potential hostility.

Ch. 458A New Biological Gene!

Key plot points and events

  • The Cosmic Sea’s strongest beings feel relieved after realizing how powerful Xiao Yang is, since he may help them survive the World Beast Crisis.
  • Raul visits Xiao Yang’s lab to ask for more World Beast material. Xiao Yang presents Jie, a living World Beast who has combined his Avatars into one body.
  • Jie tries to self-destruct, but Raul instantly suppresses him and examines him. Raul concludes that World Beasts are born incomplete and likely must devour one another to become whole.
  • At Xiao Yang’s request, Raul enslaves Jie. Jie becomes Raul’s servant, and Raul agrees to let Xiao Yang collect biological material from him.
  • Xiao Yang returns to researching how to reach the 100,000-fold Gene Level. After tens of thousands of years, he remains stuck at 99,999-fold.
  • Raul eventually brings him a massive, specially prepared drop of blood. Xiao Yang discovers that it comes from a creature with a 100,000-fold Gene Level, yet its genetic structure matches that of a World Beast. Within the blood are 100,000 tiny World Beasts, each displaying a different form of World Beast Power.

Character developments and interactions

  • Xiao Yang remains focused on his research and uses Jie as a source of material, but admits he cannot yet enslave a World Beast himself. He trusts Raul to contain Jie and help him advance.
  • Raul demonstrates overwhelming authority over Jie and deep scientific insight into World Beast biology. His excitement leads him to spend years creating the unusual blood for Xiao Yang.
  • Jie shifts from defiant and desperate to powerless under Raul’s suppression. After being enslaved, he obeys Raul, though he retains hostility toward Xiao Yang and conflicted feelings toward his new master.
  • Xiao Yang and Raul cooperate as researcher and benefactor: Xiao Yang supplies the specimen and directs his research needs, while Raul studies Jie and provides a possible breakthrough.

Significant themes

  • Power and vulnerability: Jie’s pride as a World Beast collapses when Raul suppresses him effortlessly.
  • Scientific curiosity and experimentation: Raul treats even a dangerous creature as a subject of study, while Xiao Yang pursues biological answers to surpass his limits.
  • Incomplete life and evolution: Raul’s theory suggests World Beasts must consume one another to become complete.
  • Ambition and breakthrough: Xiao Yang’s long plateau at 99,999-fold sets up the mysterious blood as a possible path to the next level.

Ch. 459The Hundred Thousand Times Gene!

Plot points and events

  • Xiao Yang examines Raul’s drop of blood and senses traces of the Origin Great Daos of Life and Destruction. Its genes contain patterns from the Hundred Thousand Times Gene creatures Xiao Yang has studied, as well as the structure Raul designed for him.
  • The blood’s genes transform repeatedly until they become a hundred thousand miniature versions of Xiao Yang. Realizing his own life structure still has flaws, Xiao Yang modifies it.
  • The changes trigger a chain reaction: his life structure diagram shatters into countless miniature Xiao Yangs, each in a different pose, while his divine body becomes increasingly solid rather than collapsing.
  • The transformation spreads through his entire, thousand-light-year-tall body. When it is complete, his body erupts in golden light that crosses space and time, spreading across the Primordial Universe and into the Cosmic Sea.
  • The light reaches every kind of place—from inhabited worlds and secret realms to barren regions, miniature universes, and the Three Great Forbidden Lands. On Earth, people recognize Xiao Yang and bow to him; even infants and the blind perceive the light.

Character developments

  • Xiao Yang moves beyond his nearly perfect 99,999-times gene structure, using his accumulated knowledge to discover and enact a profound transformation.
  • His change appears to connect principles he had thought opposed: World Beasts and Cosmic Sea creatures share a faint commonality, as do World Beast Power and Divine Power.
  • His transformation elevates him into a presence that seems to encompass the entire Primordial Universe and Cosmic Sea.

Character interactions

  • Raul’s research is central to the transformation: the drop of blood he created provides the genetic patterns that lead Xiao Yang to change.
  • The Primordial Universe Will and the Original Universe’s Origin Will notice Xiao Yang’s emergence, but neither understands nor can stop the golden light.
  • Earth’s people respond to Xiao Yang with reverence, recognizing him as their greatest Progenitor.

  • Once the light fades, people assume Xiao Yang is close to becoming a True God. Humanity’s leaders are especially hopeful, believing his breakthrough may help them improve their own gene levels.
  • In his miniature universe, Sitting Mountain Guest is astonished by Xiao Yang’s achievement and regrets not having taken him as a disciple. He concludes Xiao Yang may one day become a God King, perhaps even reach the ultimate realm, and takes comfort in their existing connection through Earth and Luo Feng.
  • Xiao Yang examines his perfected life structure and confirms that it surpasses even a World Beast’s. He can transform completely into a World Beast, including converting his divine power, though he soon returns to his usual form.
  • Back in the Game World, Xiao Yang restores his divine body with help from his Nether Sea Clone. It grows to 1,008.1 light-years, its current limit.
  • Luo Feng asks Xiao Yang to confirm the breakthrough and requests a sample of his blood for study. Xiao Yang agrees, but says he will not become a True God yet: he has one more matter to handle and asks Luo Feng to arrange a meeting with Sitting Mountain Guest.

Character developments and interactions
