Chapter Summary: “Ruins No. 9”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang buys a Level-1 Kiwi Seed, regretting that it was not available earlier because he could have given Chen Jian a kiwi to help regenerate his severed limb.
• He uproots a newly planted Blueberry Seed, plants the kiwi, and spends 10,000 Copper Coins to make it mature instantly.

• He waits with five unfamiliar participants, who are surprised by his extremely young appearance despite his status as a God of War.

Chapter Summary: “Death Trial”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang enters a vast black hall where beams of light assess his abilities. Unlike the usual thirty-second evaluation, his test continues for sixty seconds, causing him to worry that he may have triggered the dangerous Death Trial.
• Crystal ropes suddenly descend from the ceiling, bind him, and transfer streams of light—apparently recording or analyzing his abilities.
• The trial reveals that Xiao Yang’s Brain-Domain Width is 33, far above the required threshold of 18. He is therefore granted access to the Elite Passage, which has not been opened for five thousand years.
• Xiao Yang waits fifteen minutes for the passage to activate, casually eating Level-1 Rice while he waits.
• He enters a maze-like network of tunnels formed from black tree roots. At every junction, he faces nine possible routes.
• Eighteen black-robed, silver-masked figures emerge from the passages around him and converge with obvious hostility.
• Xiao Yang uses flying knives to hinder them, then employs his Harpoon to pierce one of the figures and escape through the opening. He uses his Psychic speed to leave the others behind.
• Once he believes he is safe, transparent crystal walls suddenly descend and form a chamber around him, trapping him again. The chapter ends as the trial’s announcement begins.

Character Developments

• Xiao Yang demonstrates patience and composure despite the unexpected delay and the possibility of entering the Death Trial.
• His exceptionally high Brain-Domain Width reveals that he possesses extraordinary innate comprehension, potentially greater than Luo Feng’s at a comparable stage.
• Despite this advantage, Xiao Yang remains humble and cautious, recognizing that raw talent does not guarantee future achievement.
• He displays practical intelligence in combat by choosing escape over wasting time trying to destroy every enemy.
• His Psychic abilities—especially flight and speed—prove crucial in navigating the Elite Passage.

Significant Themes

• Talent versus future achievement: Xiao Yang’s high comprehension gives him a remarkable starting point, but Luo Feng’s example reminds him that long-term growth matters more than initial superiority.
• Uncertainty and hidden danger: The trial repeatedly defies expectations, with unexplained delays, unexpected tests, and traps appearing without warning.
• Adaptability and efficiency: Xiao Yang survives by quickly understanding situations and using the most effective solution rather than relying solely on brute force.
• Testing and selection: The trial functions as a system for identifying rare geniuses, emphasizing how extraordinary abilities are measured and rewarded.

Character Interactions

• Xiao Yang has no direct interaction with other characters in the chapter.
• He mentally recalls Yao Rao’s earlier explanation of the trial and compares his abilities with Luo Feng’s, using both as points of reference.
• His main “interactions” are with the trial’s automated intelligence, the crystal restraints and barriers, and the hostile black-robed figures generated within the passage.

Key plot points and events

• Xiao Yang begins a three-year “Death Mission”: escape the crystal chamber, where the walls display the Psychic Controller’s 312 Forms. Failure means death.
• Rather than fear the trial, he focuses on escaping and studies the carvings, recording them with his wristband.
• Over the first month, his strength improves sharply: his psychic-power amplitude rises from 5 to 10, letting him control ten daggers and combine their force. He also advances to the fourth stage of World Annihilation.
• Remembering that Luo Feng needed an amplitude of 16 to break the wall, Xiao Yang realizes his game-world Harpoon may offer another solution. It pierces the wall easily, so he carves out an opening and squeezes through.
• A bald crystal figure watches, uncertain whether using a weapon fulfills the trial’s intended purpose. Since Xiao Yang has technically escaped, its programming counts the mission as passed.
• Xiao Yang receives confirmation of his success and flies into a newly opened passage to claim his reward.

Character development and interactions

• Xiao Yang is resourceful and pragmatic: he studies the prescribed forms but also draws on his unusual supplies and equipment to find a faster way out.
• His rapid physical and psychic growth shows his aptitude for training, while his confidence is balanced by a brief concern that his unconventional escape might be considered cheating.
• The crystal figure observes Xiao Yang’s escape and struggles to interpret it, but ultimately follows its instructions. The interaction is indirect: Xiao Yang acts, while the figure evaluates whether his actions meet the trial’s rules.

Significant themes

• Ingenuity over brute force: Xiao Yang succeeds by recognizing the Harpoon’s advantage rather than relying on strength alone.
• Rules versus intent: He meets the literal escape requirement while bypassing the trial’s intended lesson, exposing a gap between the test’s purpose and its programmed judgment.
• Growth through discipline: His month of study and practice produces substantial gains, even though the final breakthrough comes from an unexpected tool.

Chapter Summary: “Rewards”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Xiao Yang completes the Death Trial and enters a magnificent hall filled with multicolored light.
• The ruins’ artificial intelligence manifests as the Bald Crystal Man, who addresses Xiao Yang in Chinese and explains that he has monitored Earth’s human development, including its language, culture, and history.
• To protect the ruins’ secrets, the Bald Crystal Man deletes and blocks information related to the ruins from Xiao Yang’s communication wristband.
• Although Xiao Yang used a shortcut to pass the trial, the Bald Crystal Man confirms that he still qualifies as having completed it because the trial’s true purpose was to break through the obstacle.
• Xiao Yang receives four rewards:
  1. Black God Suit — a powerful combat uniform.
  2. Auxiliary Light Brain — a technological support device installed as a silver armguard.
  3. Heaven-Escaping — a controller-level psychic attack technique.
  4. Meteor Ink Star Token — intended to provide access to Meteor Ink Star, though it is unusable because contact with the planet has been lost.
• The Bald Crystal Man transfers the contents of the 312 Forms and the method for breaking through to the Planetary Level into Xiao Yang’s light brain, warning him not to reveal the technique.
• Xiao Yang learns that his current Psychic Power Amplitude is 10. While ordinary Psychics may break through at 12, his greater Brain-Domain Width means he likely needs to reach 20.
• The Bald Crystal Man encourages Xiao Yang to become Earth’s strongest person and the only true representative of Meteor Ink Star on the planet.
• Before leaving, Xiao Yang asks for basic information about the universe, including the appearance and properties of alien currencies, metals, and materials. The artificial intelligence agrees and uploads the information.
• Xiao Yang exits through a newly opened passage and returns safely to the underground base of Ruins No. 9, where staff welcome him as “God of War Xiao Yang.”

  • A superior combat suit.
  • Advanced technological assistance.
  • A powerful psychic secret art.
  • Training guidance for reaching the Planetary Level.

• He demonstrates caution and ambition by requesting universal information rather than simply accepting his rewards. His goal is to visit other Earth factions and acquire additional valuable resources.
• Xiao Yang is formally acknowledged as a successor or representative of Meteor Ink Star, despite not being a native member of that civilization.
• The Bald Crystal Man is shown to possess more than mechanical intelligence. His attachment to Meteor Ink Star and willingness to help Xiao Yang reveal genuine loyalty and human-like emotion.

Significant Themes

• Inheritance and responsibility: Xiao Yang receives the legacy of a vanished civilization and is expected to preserve and advance it.
• Secrecy and protection of knowledge: The ruins’ information and the 312 Forms must remain hidden, emphasizing the danger and value of advanced technology.
• Human potential and progression: Xiao Yang’s unusual Brain-Domain Width suggests both greater difficulty and greater potential in his path toward higher evolution.
• Loss and nostalgia: The Bald Crystal Man’s regret over losing contact with Meteor Ink Star hints at the destruction or disappearance of his civilization.
• Preparation for a larger world: The chapter shifts Xiao Yang’s focus from Earth’s trials to the broader universe and the opportunities—and dangers—it contains.

Character Interactions

• The Bald Crystal Man speaks warmly and respectfully with Xiao Yang, explaining his surveillance of Earth and the reason he understands Chinese.
• He candidly admits that Xiao Yang passed through a shortcut but still honors the completion of the trial.
• Xiao Yang accepts the confidentiality requirements and listens carefully to the instructions regarding the rewards and his future cultivation.
• Xiao Yang’s request for universal information demonstrates growing trust between them. The Bald Crystal Man immediately complies because he regards Xiao Yang as a member of Meteor Ink Star’s legacy.

Chapter Summary: “Hong!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After being taken to a lounge, Xiao Yang contacts Chen Jian to assure him that he is safe.
• Yao Rao arrives to escort him back to Hong Ning Base City. Before Xiao Yang leaves, she informs him that Hong, the Hall Master of the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall, wishes to meet him.
• In a dark reception room, Xiao Yang meets Hong, whose overwhelming presence immediately confirms his extraordinary strength.
• Hong recognizes that Xiao Yang is a Psychic and asks about his experience in Ruins No. 9. Xiao Yang explains that, because his Brain-Domain Width exceeded eighteen, he was forced into the Death Trial, where he had to learn a Psychic secret art within three years. He escaped early by exploiting a loophole.
• Xiao Yang explains that the secret art cannot be passed on and that the relevant information was erased from his communications wristband.
• Hong offers Xiao Yang two opportunities: joining the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall in an official position and selling his Black God Suit. Xiao Yang refuses both, preferring to remain independent and keep the suit.
• To compensate Xiao Yang for revealing information about the Death Trial, Hong grants him a quota of five Stellar Credits for exchanges.
• Xiao Yang spends the credits on:
  • A King-class aircraft
  • A Millennium Spirit Ginseng to improve his strength
  • Ancient Civilization Coins, including Ganwu Coins and Black Dragon Coins
• Xiao Yang notices the Sky-Escaping Shuttle on the exchange list and decides to obtain it in the future.

• Xiao Yang confirms that real-world treasures, including the Spirit Ginseng and Baili Huanxiang’s Illusion Core, cannot be sold in the farming game for Copper Coins. Because of this, he decides to preserve his game resources and use real-world items for cultivation whenever possible.
• He plans to travel to Mist Island, believing his current strength is sufficient to handle the danger there. His main uncertainty is whether the Mo Yun Vine has already reached the Planetary Level.
• Xiao Yang continues practicing the Basic Controller 312 Forms. Although his Psychic Power has reached the Apprentice-level limit, he must raise his Psychic Power Amplitude—likely to around 20—to break through to the Planetary Level.
• At midnight, the game’s daily items refresh. Both available items turn out to be Level-2 Enlightenment Tea Leaves, each costing one million Copper Coins.
• Xiao Yang happily buys both batches. Their repeated appearance suggests that Enlightenment Tea Leaves may have a reasonably high refresh probability; they have appeared four times within several months.
• The next day, after eating breakfast and informing Chen Jian, Xiao Yang flies to Australia. He uses satellite maps to identify large lakes that once contained central islands, narrowing the possible locations of Mist Island to two.
• He reaches the nearer lake and discovers it is covered in unusually dense fog despite the bright midday conditions. He orders the fighter jet to hover and equips his black combat suit, preparing to investigate.

Character Development

• His excitement over obtaining two batches of Enlightenment Tea Leaves reveals his growing reliance on the game’s rare items to accelerate cultivation.
• Xiao Yang remains disciplined, continuing to practice even after achieving a major breakthrough in strength.

Significant Themes

• Strategic resource management: Xiao Yang distinguishes between resources that can improve himself directly and those better preserved for future exchanges.

• Luck and opportunity: The unexpected appearance of Enlightenment Tea Leaves highlights the role of chance in the game and Xiao Yang’s hope that rare items will become more frequent.
• Blending of realities: The chapter emphasizes the unique relationship between the farming game and the real world, showing that items cannot freely cross between the two systems.

• Xiao Yang follows information transmitted by the Bald Crystal Man, particularly regarding Psychic Power Amplitude and the Planetary-level breakthrough.

Key plot points

• Xiao Yang descends onto Mist Island, using his Psychic Power and flying daggers to scout for danger. The island’s unusual silence suggests it is inhabited by dangerous plant spirits.
• He discovers a Millennium Black Crow Tree. When it attacks, his Black God Suit protects him while his ten daggers cut it down. He digs up and stores its valuable root, then continues collecting other plant spirits.

• Babata considers whether to select Xiao Yang, but hesitates, wondering if a more suitable candidate may exist. Limited testing equipment and its short range make identifying Earth’s strongest candidates difficult.

Character developments and interactions

• Xiao Yang shows both confidence and caution: he is powerful enough to dispatch the tree easily, yet keeps his suit on and uses his Psychic Power to guard against ambushes. He is also prepared, carrying information about plant spirits and a backpack for his finds.
• Babata shifts from excitement at finally finding someone to uncertainty about choosing him. His assessment of Xiao Yang is shaped by both the boy’s unusual potential and Babata’s search for the best candidate.
• Xiao Yang and Babata do not meet directly; Babata secretly watches him from the ship.

Significant themes

• Caution amid apparent calm: The island’s quietness signals danger rather than safety.
• Power and preparedness: Xiao Yang’s strength matters, but so do his scouting, protection, and knowledge.
• Potential and selection: Babata must weigh Xiao Yang’s rare abilities against the possibility of finding a stronger candidate.

Chapter Summary: “Over a Hundred Spirits of Plants and Trees!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Babata decides that Xiao Yang’s Brain-Domain Width of 33, while impressive on Earth, is only moderately talented by universal standards. Nevertheless, because Xiao Yang passed the Death Trial, Babata accepts him as a potential member of Meteor Ink Star and begins considering him as a possible disciple candidate.
• To attract Earth’s strongest warriors and geniuses, Babata secretly infiltrates the satellites operated by Earth’s major factions. It plans to cultivate large, highly fragrant Spirits of Plants and Trees on Mist Island, using the satellites to detect them and automatically alert the world’s major powers.
• Babata prepares special nutrient solutions and mutates plants to spread their scent over great distances. It does not mind Xiao Yang taking the existing Spirits of Plants and Trees, viewing this as a minor opportunity for a reasonably talented genius.
• Xiao Yang traverses Mist Island and collects more than one hundred Spirits of Plants and Trees. However, he finds no Wood Bud Crystals, which were his real objective.
• Xiao Yang had deliberately avoided using the game’s storage functions so Babata would not suspect him. He originally intended to seize several hundred Wood Bud Crystals near the spacecraft and escape, but Babata’s failure to guide him into the inheritance ruins ruins this plan.
• Rather than pursue the Meteor Ink Star inheritance, Xiao Yang wants Luo Feng to retain it. He believes Luo Feng’s future importance is essential for dealing with major threats such as Giant Axe’s death, the human race’s crisis, the World Beasts, the Primordial Universe crisis, and later threats involving the Hunyuan Ancestor and the cultivator faction.
• Xiao Yang contacts Hong and offers to sell him the Spirits of Plants and Trees. Hong immediately agrees to purchase as many as Xiao Yang possesses.

• Xiao Yang arrives at Hong Ning Base City, where Yao Rao escorts him to Hong’s private chamber. Hong recognizes that Xiao Yang has reached the Peak God of War realm and is effectively an Invincible God of War, then offers him a position as an inspector of the martial arts hall.
• Xiao Yang declines, reaffirming that he wants to cultivate peacefully rather than handle administrative responsibilities. He then begins removing the collected Spirits of Plants and Trees from his backpack for Hong to inspect.

Character Developments

• Babata: Becomes more proactive and calculating. It begins manipulating Earth’s satellite network and designing an elaborate scheme to lure powerful warriors to Mist Island while continuing to assess Xiao Yang’s potential.
• Xiao Yang: Demonstrates overwhelming strength, strategic caution, and long-term awareness. He prioritizes preserving Luo Feng’s future opportunities over immediate personal gain and remains committed to avoiding unnecessary interference in the larger storyline. His collection of over a hundred Spirits of Plants and Trees also gives him a valuable bargaining asset.
• Hong: Shows practical interest in both the plant treasures and the possibility of a ruin in Australia. He continues to regard Xiao Yang as an exceptionally powerful figure and attempts to recruit him into a formal leadership role.
• Yao Rao: Acts as Hong’s efficient intermediary, personally bringing Xiao Yang to the meeting.

• He theorizes that Voucher Points may require Universe Coins, which he does not possess. He decides to investigate only after entering the universe.
• Xiao Yang drinks his last stored Enlightenment Tea Leaf. The tea grants him a month-long Comprehension Increase Buff, sharply improving his intelligence and understanding.
