Ch. 301Third Reincarnation Era Alliance

Summary: “Third Reincarnation Era Alliance”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Seven non-human True Gods—representing the Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance, Hell Race, Demon Race, and lone cultivators—gather at the Demon Race Ancestral Land to negotiate with the Human Race.
  • They propose freezing the current balance of power: the Human Race must stop expanding, while the other forces stop invading one another. If the Human Race attempts extermination, the alliance will respond with war.
  • Fang Yan agrees to discuss the proposal rather than immediately attack, recognizing that seven united True Gods would be difficult to defeat, especially while the Human Race also faces the Realm Beast threat.
  • In the Virtual Universe, Origin Ancestor reveals that he discovered the Dark Land within Tilted Peak Realm. It contains at least a billion Realm Beasts with True God-level strength, powerful soul and material attacks, and possibly combat power beyond the True God realm.
  • Dream Demon Ancestor is chosen to verify the report because her Supreme Treasure armor gives her the greatest survivability. After thirty years, she returns badly damaged but confirms that the Realm Beasts are real and far more dangerous than expected.
  • The territorial dispute immediately becomes secondary to the existential Realm Beast crisis. Origin Ancestor proposes that all True God-level forces unite under Human Race leadership.
  • The Demon Race, Starry Sky Behemoth Alliance, Hell Race, and the other lone cultivators agree. The Third Reincarnation Era Alliance is formally established, with Origin Ancestor as its leader.
  • The alliance promises to share inheritances and resources, strengthen existing True Gods, and cultivate more Universe Lords and True Gods. Its first full assembly is scheduled for one hundred years later.
  • Unexpectedly, Mountain Guest and Black Universe Founder request membership, followed by the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Cult, greatly expanding the alliance’s importance.

Character Developments

  • Fang Yan demonstrates strategic restraint. Although he leads the Human Race’s expansion, he recognizes that the Realm Beasts pose a greater threat than rival races and accepts negotiation.
  • Origin Ancestor emerges as the central strategist and natural leader. He reveals the Realm Beast crisis, manipulates the alliance’s verification process effectively, and takes responsibility for uniting the major forces.
  • Dream Demon Ancestor shifts from an aggressive negotiator threatening war to a courageous representative willing to risk her life for the survival of all factions. Her damaged return validates Origin Ancestor’s warning.
  • Starry Sky Ancestor, Shihua Island Lord, Void True Demon God, and Northern Border True God abandon their immediate opposition to the Human Race once the larger danger is confirmed.
  • Mountain Guest, Black Universe Founder, and the Ancestral Gods become important new potential allies, showing that the crisis is drawing in even traditionally detached or independent powers.

Significant Themes

  • Unity against existential danger: Political rivalries and territorial ambitions become meaningless when all civilizations face possible annihilation.
  • The limits of power and conquest: Even the dominant Human Race cannot safely pursue expansion while a vastly greater threat grows in the Universe Ocean.
  • Trust and verification: The non-human forces initially distrust Origin Ancestor’s warning, requiring Dream Demon Ancestor to investigate personally before accepting the alliance.
  • Sacrifice and responsibility: Dream Demon Ancestor risks herself for the collective good, while Origin Ancestor assumes leadership of a coalition that must prepare for an uncertain final battle.
  • Changing political order: The old balance of power is replaced by a cooperative alliance, with former enemies sharing resources and inheritances.

Character Interactions

  • Shihua Island Lord and Void True Demon God remind the Human Race that their previous contract prevents them from initiating attacks, framing the meeting as negotiation rather than confrontation.
  • Starry Sky Ancestor presents the alliance’s demands, while Dream Demon Ancestor reinforces them with a direct warning that refusal would mean war.
  • Origin Ancestor informs all factions of the Realm Beasts and challenges them to verify the danger themselves.
  • The allied True Gods pressure Dream Demon Ancestor to investigate because of her superior defensive equipment; although resentful, she accepts.
  • After her return, Dream Demon Ancestor, Starry Sky Ancestor, Shihua Island Lord, and the others quickly align with Origin Ancestor’s proposal.
  • Mountain Guest and Black Universe Founder’s arrival, followed by the Ancestral God Cult’s request to join, signals a dramatic expansion of cooperation across previously separate powers.

Ch. 302Million Dao Marks

Chapter Summary: “Million Dao Marks”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Primordial Universe Origin Will orders the three Ancestral Gods to join the Third Reincarnation Era Alliance and help resist the Realm Beasts. Origin Ancestor accepts their entry, bringing the alliance’s total to nineteen True Gods and making it the strongest faction in the Universe Ocean.
  • At the alliance’s first full meeting, Fang Yan proposes eliminating True Gods who may eventually defect to the Realm Beasts. He identifies Hao Lei Star Lord, Zhen Jia King, and Qiu Yan Ancestral God as the first likely defectors.
  • Despite uncertainty about their intentions, the alliance decides to purge them preemptively. Fang Yan argues that even a possible future defection is too dangerous to ignore.
  • Three years later, thirteen True Gods attack the trio in the Tilted Peak Realm. Origin Ancestor opens with his newly created Tenth-Order secret technique, Void Realm Birth and Death, trapping the three enemies in a powerful soul and illusion attack.
  • Fang Mu uses the Tianxi World and its ten-law domain to suppress Qiu Yan Ancestral God, while the other alliance members surround and overpower the remaining targets.
  • Fang Yan’s Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clone devours the collapsing divine bodies of all three Eighth-Order True Gods.
  • The absorbed energy pushes Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom beyond one million Dao Marks, triggering a major transformation. His Spring Autumn Cicada Clone reaches a 60,000-times gene multiplier and expands to one million kilometers.
  • Three Rank Nine Immortal Gu—Thunder Origin, Fire Origin, and Earth Origin Immortal Gu—are born. Their emergence automatically grants Fang Yan comprehension of the Laws of Thunder, Fire, and Earth.
  • Fang Yan realizes with alarm that he did not comprehend these laws through personal cultivation; they appeared automatically through the Immortal Gu. This makes his path resemble that of a Realm Beast rather than a conventional Dao seeker.

Character Developments

  • Fang Yan becomes increasingly authoritative and ruthless. He effectively directs the alliance and advocates preemptive extermination of possible Realm Beast collaborators. His power rises dramatically after absorbing the three True Gods, but his cultivation method causes him to question his own nature.
  • Origin Ancestor remains cautious of both the Realm Beasts and the Primordial Universe Origin Will. He demonstrates a major breakthrough by creating his first genuine Tenth-Order secret technique.
  • Fang Mu displays overwhelming control over the ten laws through the Tianxi World, decisively suppressing Qiu Yan.
  • Giant Axe Founder embraces the alliance’s new dominance and openly welcomes the chance to attack other True Gods.
  • Hao Lei Star Lord, Zhen Jia King, and Qiu Yan Ancestral God shift from suspected future defectors to targets of an organized alliance purge and are killed.
  • Fang Yan’s realization that his power growth resembles Realm Beast cultivation introduces serious uncertainty about his future identity and loyalties.

Significant Themes

  • Preemptive justice versus paranoia: The alliance kills the three True Gods based on predicted future betrayal rather than confirmed treason.
  • Unity under existential threat: Formerly independent factions cooperate because the Realm Beast crisis threatens the entire Universe Ocean.
  • Power and moral corruption: Once the alliance becomes overwhelmingly strong, its members begin enjoying the ability to act without restraint.
  • Transformation and loss of identity: Fang Yan’s rapid growth brings power but also raises the frightening possibility that he is becoming similar to the enemy.
  • Cultivation versus consumption: Fang Yan’s advancement depends on devouring divine bodies and absorbing external power, challenging the traditional idea of cultivation through individual comprehension.

Important Character Interactions

  • The Ancestral Gods negotiate with Origin Ancestor under the authority of the Primordial Universe Origin Will.
  • Fang Yan persuades the alliance’s True Gods to accept a dangerous purge strategy, with Starry Sky Ancestor supporting his assessment and Giant Axe Founder enthusiastically endorsing it.
  • Origin Ancestor leads the attack and coordinates with Fang Yan, Fang Mu, and the other True Gods.
  • Fang Mu’s ten-law domain works alongside Origin Ancestor’s soul technique and the alliance’s group assault.
  • Fang Yan’s clones and Divine Kingdom are directly linked: the devouring clone absorbs the enemies’ energy, causing the Dao Marks, gene multiplier, and Rank Nine Immortal Gu of the Spring Autumn Cicada Clone to evolve.

Ch. 303Spring Autumn Cicada Speculation

Chapter Summary: Spring Autumn Cicada Speculation

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Fang Yan reflects on his progress and realizes he no longer needs to personally comprehend laws. His Immortal Gu can provide complete law insights, while the Dao Marks of devoured divine bodies can be used to nurture corresponding Origin Immortal Gu.
  • He speculates that the Spring Autumn Cicada may be connected not to one specific Origin Great Dao, but to all of them, including Life, Time, Space, World, Destruction, Karma, and others.
  • Fang Yan decides to obtain the remaining Origin Immortal Gu by killing more True Gods and harvesting their Dao Marks.
  • At Bone Sea Abyss, Fang Yan’s Seven-Colored Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clone infiltrates the Skeleton Race’s territory. He quickly annihilates nearly one hundred Universe Lords using the Thunder, Fire, and Earth Origin Immortal Gu.
  • Skeleton Gold Ancestor, an Eighth-Order True God, attacks in fury. Fang Yan combines the three Origin Laws with the killing move “Three Origins Unite,” raising his combat strength to the peak of the Eighth-Order True God realm.
  • Fang Yan defeats Skeleton Gold Ancestor in three attacks, destroying his True God Heart and devouring his remains along with the Dao Marks of the slain Skeleton Race members.
  • Darkness Lord, Silver Shadow Lord, and Rock Armor Lord learn of Skeleton Gold Ancestor’s death and are ordered to harvest the remains of his Small Universe, revealing how routinely Fang Yan is now eliminating powerful True Gods.
  • The Dao Marks in Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom rise to nearly two million. The influx of Gold Dao Marks causes the Nine-Revolution Gold-Origin Immortal Gu to form.
  • Once the Gu is completed, Fang Yan immediately comprehends the Law of Gold in its entirety.
  • The chapter ends with Fang Yan’s Spring Autumn Cicada Clone arriving in the Second Heaven, where he encounters Kong Luo, who appears healthier and more alert than before.

Character Developments

  • Fang Yan: Becomes increasingly confident and ruthless. He shifts from cultivating laws through personal comprehension to harvesting them through conquest and consumption. His fusion of three Origin Laws allows him to reach peak Eighth-Order True God combat power.
  • Skeleton Gold Ancestor: Transitions from a powerful regional True God into another victim of Fang Yan’s growing strength. His death demonstrates the widening gap between Fang Yan and the older True Gods.
  • Darkness Lord and his companions: Their reactions show growing unease and resignation toward Fang Yan’s repeated killings of True Gods. They now function as followers and harvesters of the aftermath of his campaigns.
  • Kong Luo: Shows signs of recovery after a long period of weakness, suggesting that his condition or role may soon become important.

Significant Themes

  • Power through consumption: Fang Yan gains strength by devouring divine bodies and converting their Dao Marks into new Immortal Gu and greater cultivation resources.
  • Rapid escalation of strength: Once dominant True Gods are being killed almost effortlessly, signaling a major shift in the balance of power in the Universe Ocean.
  • Law and synthesis: The chapter emphasizes that combining multiple fundamental laws can create power far beyond the sum of their individual effects.
  • Instrumental view of life and death: Fang Yan regards the deaths of entire races as useful resources, reflecting his increasingly detached and ruthless philosophy.
  • Mystery of the Spring Autumn Cicada: Its possible connection to every Origin Great Dao hints at a deeper, potentially transcendent significance.

Character Interactions

  • Fang Yan confronts Skeleton Gold Ancestor directly after massacring the Skeleton Race’s Universe Lords. Skeleton Gold Ancestor condemns his actions, while Fang Yan dismisses the victims’ future prospects and treats their deaths as valuable.
  • Darkness Lord informs Silver Shadow Lord and Rock Armor Lord of Fang Yan’s latest victory. Their brief exchange conveys shock and dread at the repeated deaths of True Gods.
  • Fang Yan’s final appearance before Kong Luo shifts the chapter from large-scale slaughter to a quieter reunion, creating anticipation regarding Kong Luo’s recovery and future relationship with Fang Yan.

Ch. 304Universe Projection

Chapter Summary: Universe Projection

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After more than a thousand epochs of absorbing energy from the Second Heaven, Kong Luo’s divine body is finally restored completely.
  • Fang Yan tests whether Kong Luo can leave the Second Heaven. Kong Luo successfully exits both the Second Heaven and Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom, returning to the Primordial Universe.
  • Fang Yan discovers that Kong Luo’s connection to the Second Heaven allows its power to project into the Universe Ocean. Within the projected area, the Second Heaven functions like a mobile Divine Kingdom, granting Fang Yan control over its laws across a domain roughly 1,050 light-years in diameter.
  • Intrigued by this discovery, Fang Yan wonders whether other Small Universes can be incorporated into his Divine Kingdom. He chooses the Insect Race Empress as a test subject and asks the Origin Ancestor for permission to kill her.
  • The Origin Ancestor agrees, warning Fang Yan to prevent the Empress from losing control.
  • Fang Yan kills the Insect Race Empress, extracts her shattered True God Heart, and revives her within his Divine Kingdom using Time Reversal and Dao Marks.
  • The Empress’s True God Heart rises toward the heavens, but Fang Yan detonates it. Its fragments reconstruct her former Small Universe as a new realm beneath the Second Heaven.
  • The First Heaven, formed from the Empress’s Golden Hive Tower and its 10,081 planes, becomes fully integrated into Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom. Fang Yan confirms that he can control and draw power from it.
  • The Empress’s reincarnation severs the Origin Ancestor’s enslavement. She is now anchored to Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom and completely controlled by him.
  • Fang Yan informs the Origin Ancestor, who confirms that his enslavement over the Insect Race Empress has failed.

Character Developments

  • Kong Luo: Fully restores his divine body and regains the ability to act independently outside the Second Heaven. His connection with Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom remains intact, making him a bridge through which the Second Heaven’s power can be projected.
  • Fang Yan: Demonstrates increasing mastery over Divine Kingdom construction, spatial projection, reincarnation, and the manipulation of Small Universes. His experiment transforms his Divine Kingdom into a multi-layered structure with independently usable heavens.
  • Insect Race Empress: Dies and is resurrected within Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom. Her former Small Universe becomes the First Heaven, while her allegiance and spiritual anchor shift from the Origin Ancestor to Fang Yan.
  • Origin Ancestor: Loses control of the Insect Race Empress and becomes aware that Fang Yan’s abilities have surpassed the limits of his original enslavement.

Significant Themes

  • Transformation and integration: Individual Small Universes and their laws can potentially be absorbed into a larger Divine Kingdom.
  • Power and ownership: Reincarnation within Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom changes not only the Empress’s allegiance but also the ownership of her entire universe.
  • Experimentation and advancement: Fang Yan treats cosmic-scale beings and universes as subjects in an ongoing investigation into the nature of the World Origin and Life Origin Great Daos.
  • Freedom versus control: Kong Luo gains independence, while the Insect Race Empress loses the Origin Ancestor’s enslavement only to become bound to Fang Yan.
  • Cosmic evolution: Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom evolves into a layered cosmos containing the Five Regions, the First Heaven, and the Second Heaven.

Important Character Interactions

Ch. 305Hunting True Gods

Chapter Summary: “Hunting True Gods”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Fang Yan admits to Origin Ancestor that the Insect Race Empress is under his control. Origin Ancestor accepts this, impressed by Fang Yan’s ability to subdue a True God-level servant and by his recent solo victory over Skeleton Gold Ancestor.
  • Origin Ancestor reveals that he plans to enter seclusion to create a Tenth-Order secret art and asks Fang Yan to manage the Third Reincarnation Era Alliance during his absence.
  • He explains that God Eye True Master’s information about Purple Moon Sacred Land has led him to suspect that breaking through Reincarnation may be a false path. He instead intends to attempt seizing control of the Primordial Universe.
  • Fang Yan warns that this plan will fail, but Origin Ancestor argues that success would give him the Primordial Universe’s power and eliminate the Realm Beast threat, while failure would at least prove the path invalid for future generations.
  • Unable to dissuade him, Fang Yan asks for three months to find concrete evidence and increase his own strength. He then begins hunting powerful True Gods to gather Dao Marks and improve his combat power.
  • Fang Yan attacks Vast Sea Star Lord, a Seventh-Order True God, from roughly a thousand light-years away. Using Projection Descent, he turns the surrounding void into his domain and suppresses the enemy.
  • He combines four Ninth-Rank Immortal Gus—lightning, fire, earth, and metal—to unleash “Four Elements Return to One.” He follows it with “Rainfall,” whose cold rain gradually corrupts Vast Sea Star Lord’s consciousness.
  • While the Water Origin cultivator is incapacitated, Fang Yan pierces his True God Heart with a compressed beam, killing him instantly. His Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clone absorbs the scattered divine-body particles and strips away the Water Origin Dao Marks.
  • The victory yields only about eighty thousand Dao Marks, including thirty thousand Universe Dao Marks, and does not allow Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom to produce the Water Essence Immortal Gu. Fang Yan concludes that Vast Sea Star Lord was too weak to provide enough power.
  • Fang Yan therefore turns his attention to Water Beast God, whose divine body could provide twenty to thirty thousand Water Dao Marks—enough to complete the missing requirement for the Ninth-Rank Water Essence Immortal Gu.
  • He travels to the Ancestral God Cult’s One Leaf World, contacts Wood Beast God, and summons Water Beast God. She agrees to surrender her divine body after learning that Fang Yan is preparing to fight the Realm Beasts.

Character Developments

  • Fang Yan: Becomes increasingly powerful and decisive. He now possesses the strength to kill True Gods rapidly and methodically, but remains concerned about the larger threat posed by Origin Ancestor’s plan and the Realm Beasts. His pursuit of Dao Marks shows his willingness to make morally difficult choices for long-term survival.
  • Origin Ancestor: Reveals a more radical and sacrificial mindset. He is prepared to gamble his life by attempting to seize the Primordial Universe, believing that even failure will provide valuable knowledge. His confidence and determination make Fang Yan realize that argument alone will not stop him.
  • Vast Sea Star Lord: Serves as Fang Yan’s latest victim, overwhelmed by Fang Yan’s domain suppression, soul attack, and devastating combined offensive.
  • Water Beast God: Demonstrates loyalty to the Primordial Universe and courage by willingly offering her life. She accepts that her divine body will be destroyed and that she will be reborn as a different existence within Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom.
  • Wood Beast God: Acts cooperatively by helping Fang Yan contact Water Beast God, reflecting the improved relationship between the Beast Gods and the Third Reincarnation Era Alliance.

Significant Themes

  • Sacrifice for survival: Both Origin Ancestor and Water Beast God are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the Primordial Universe and its inhabitants.
  • Knowledge through risk: Origin Ancestor views his possible failure as a way to test a dangerous path and prevent future generations from repeating the mistake.
  • Power and responsibility: Fang Yan’s growing strength gives him the ability to kill True Gods, but it also places him in a position where he must make difficult decisions affecting entire factions and species.
  • Uncertainty and competing truths: Fang Yan believes seizing the Primordial Universe cannot work, while Origin Ancestor sees it as a logically valid gamble. The chapter emphasizes that neither side possesses definitive proof.
  • Transformation and identity: Water Beast God’s decision raises the cost of survival: even if she returns, she will no longer exist in her original form.

Character Interactions

  • Fang Yan and Origin Ancestor have a respectful but tense exchange over the Insect Race Empress and the Primordial Universe. Fang Yan warns him against his plan, but Origin Ancestor remains committed.
  • Fang Yan battles Vast Sea Star Lord, combining physical attacks, domain suppression, and soul-based techniques to defeat him before he can escape.
  • Fang Yan approaches Wood Beast God, who cooperates without hostility and helps summon Water Beast God.

Ch. 306Void True God Combat Power

Chapter Summary:

Void True God Combat Power

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Water Beast God willingly agrees to be transformed so she can continue protecting the universe in another form. Fang Yan uses the Nine Reincarnation Slashes to destroy her divine body and absorb her Dao Marks.
  • Her transformation creates the Primordial Desolate Beast One-Finger Flow Shark, while the Water Essence Dao Marks complete Fang Yan’s Ninth-Rank Water Essence Immortal Gu. Fang Yan thereby fully comprehends the Water Law.
  • The Flow Shark’s Grotto-Heaven is placed within Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom, expanding it to 1,100 light-years.
  • Fang Yan has now mastered seven foundational laws—wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, and time—and continues hunting True Gods to obtain the remaining laws and Immortal Gu.
  • Over many years, Fang Yan becomes the terror of the Universe Ocean. He precisely tracks and kills isolated True Gods, including the Golden Radiance Demon God, Wind Abyss Demon Lord, Light True God, and others.
  • Although the Universe Ocean’s factions attempt to unite against him, they cannot effectively counter Fang Yan. His Fixed Immortal Travel lets him escape failed attacks, while his enemies risk total death whenever he succeeds.
  • Fang Yan eventually assembles a complete set of treasures, including the Aurora Sword, Wind God Armor, and Myriad Source Pearl, all elevated to Supreme Treasure level.
  • Fang Yan ambushes Flora Ancestor, a peak Seventh-Order True God who cultivates the Wood Origin Law. Using the Two Heavens’ projection domain and the killing move Nine Origins Return as One, he destroys Flora Ancestor’s divine body and absorbs his Wood Origin Dao Marks.
  • The absorbed power completes the Ninth-Revolution Wood Origin Immortal Gu, giving Fang Yan all ten Ninth-Revolution Immortal Gu and completing the ten foundational laws.
  • Fang Yan tests Ten Origins Unity, combining the power of all ten Immortal Gu. The move reaches the threshold of Void True God power; with the added strength of the Two Heavens, Fang Yan believes he can reliably enter the Void True God realm.
  • Origin Ancestor announces that he is ready to attempt the dangerous process of seizing control of the Primordial Universe. He plans to bring the Eye of the True Realm and Myriad Crystal Domain to resist the Primordial Universe’s Origin Will.
  • Fang Yan worries that Origin Ancestor might be suppressed rather than killed, causing humanity to permanently lose those treasures. Origin Ancestor reveals that he has prepared Universe in the Palm, a Peak Treasure capable of unleashing two Sixth-Order Universe Lord attacks, ensuring humanity’s dominance within the Primordial Universe.
  • Before Origin Ancestor departs, Fang Yan gives him half of the Eighth-Revolution Cup-Swapping Immortal Gu, retaining the other half. The Gu may allow them to rescue or reconnect with Origin Ancestor if he is suppressed.
  • Origin Ancestor recognizes the Cup-Swapping Gu as possibly originating from an ancient civilization.

Character Developments

  • Fang Yan grows from a powerful hunter into a being capable of touching the Void True God realm. His mastery of all ten foundational laws and possession of ten Ninth-Revolution Immortal Gu mark a major transformation in his strength.
  • Fang Yan also becomes more cautious and strategic. Rather than relying only on overwhelming force, he considers the long-term consequences of Origin Ancestor’s plan and prepares safeguards for humanity.
  • Water Beast God demonstrates loyalty and self-sacrifice by willingly giving up her current existence to continue protecting the universe as the One-Finger Flow Shark.
  • Flora Ancestor is portrayed as powerful but vulnerable when isolated. His attempt to flee is defeated by Fang Yan’s superior speed and killing technique.
  • Origin Ancestor displays calm determination and accepts the risks of his attempt to seize the Primordial Universe. His preparations show both strategic foresight and willingness to sacrifice himself for humanity.

Significant Themes

  • Sacrifice for the greater good: The Water Beast God gives up her divine body for the universe, while Origin Ancestor prepares to risk his existence for humanity’s future.
  • Power and escalation: Fang Yan’s strength rises from True God level toward Void True God power through accumulated laws, Immortal Gu, treasures, and Divine Kingdom expansion.
  • Predator and prey: Fang Yan’s ability to locate isolated True Gods creates a constant atmosphere of fear. Even collective defense cannot fully protect those who become separated.
  • Preparation against uncertainty: Both Fang Yan and Origin Ancestor plan for failure. Their use of soul imprints, backup treasures, and the Cup-Swapping Gu emphasizes the importance of contingency plans.
  • Legacy and continuity: Transformations, inherited Dao Marks, ancient civilizations, and the Cup-Swapping Gu all suggest that power and existence can persist in altered forms.
  • Humanity’s survival: The actions of Fang Yan and Origin Ancestor are ultimately directed toward preserving humanity’s dominance and protecting the Primordial Universe.

Important Character Interactions

  • Fang Yan and the Water Beast God: Their exchange is solemn and cooperative. She consents to her transformation without hesitation, and Fang Yan apologizes before carrying it out.
  • Fang Yan and Flora Ancestor: Their interaction is brief and violent. Fang Yan ambushes him before he can escape, demonstrating the overwhelming speed and precision of his killing move.
  • Fang Yan and Origin Ancestor: Their conversation reflects mutual respect and strategic concern. Fang Yan questions Origin Ancestor’s preparations, while Origin Ancestor explains his safeguards and entrusts the Universe Ocean to Fang Yan.
  • Fang Yan’s gift to Origin Ancestor: The Cup-Swapping Immortal Gu symbolizes their trust and provides a possible lifeline if Origin Ancestor is suppressed during his attempt to seize the Primordial Universe.

Ch. 307Seizing the Primordial Universe

Chapter Summary: “Seizing the Primordial Universe”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Origin Ancestor reveals that the Virtual Universe depends heavily on Mechanical Father God and the Machine Race as computational nodes.

  • Origin Ancestor asks Fang Yan to kill Mechanical Father God. Fang Yan agrees and travels to Mechanical Father God’s location.
  • Mechanical Father God willingly accepts his fate because Origin Ancestor’s control prevents him from resisting. Fang Yan uses the Golden Origin Immortal Gu to pierce and destroy Mechanical Father God’s True God Heart.
  • Mechanical Father God’s death causes the Virtual Universe’s coverage to contract dramatically, from the core regions of 2,530 Advanced Universe Countries to only 920.
  • Fang Yan resurrects Mechanical Father God using the Spring Autumn Cicada Clone’s Time Reversal and by restoring 100,000 Dao Marks to his body. Although the resurrection costs Fang Yan 30,000 Dao Marks, it preserves the computational foundation of the Virtual Universe.

Significant Themes

  • Sacrifice for collective survival: Fang Yan sacrifices Dao Marks and destroys Mechanical Father God to protect the Human Race’s larger interests.
  • Power and control: The chapter explores who truly controls the Virtual Universe—Origin Ancestor, Mechanical Father God, or Fang Yan—and the dangers of relying on a single ruler or computational source.
  • Hope versus foreknowledge: The Human Race’s leaders celebrate what appears to be Origin Ancestor’s victory, while Fang Yan privately knows the outcome will be failure.
  • Transformation and reconstruction: Mechanical Father God is destroyed, resurrected, and repurposed as the core of a new Virtual Universe, reflecting the chapter’s emphasis on rebuilding power from destruction.

  • Fang Yan abruptly summons Giant Axe Founder, Chaos Lord, Darkness Lord, and the other human leaders. His grave demeanor signals that something has gone wrong.
  • Using the second half of the Cup-Swapping Immortal Gu, Fang Yan retrieves two of Origin Ancestor’s Supreme Treasures: Myriad Crystal Domain and Eye of the True Realm.
  • Their appearance causes everyone to believe Origin Ancestor may have failed or died. Chaos Lord rejects this possibility because Origin Ancestor’s Initial Universe remains intact.
  • Fang Yan clarifies that Origin Ancestor is still alive but failed to possess the Primordial Universe. Instead, his true body has been suppressed in the deepest region of Universe Origin Land.
  • The group enters the Virtual Universe and meets Origin Ancestor himself. Although trapped, Origin Ancestor remains calm and can continue communicating with them through the Virtual Universe until the Realm Beasts devour the Primordial Universe.
  • Origin Ancestor admits that his inheritance may have been mistaken and that possessing the Primordial Universe is likely an impossible path. Fang Yan confirms that there is currently no way to rescue him.
  • Fang Yan decides to keep the Eye of the True Realm, whose soul-protecting abilities complement his existing collection of Supreme Treasures. He gives the Myriad Crystal Domain to Giant Axe Founder, greatly increasing Giant Axe’s combat power.
  • Before Fang Yan can discuss the Human Race’s next steps, Darkness Lord announces that he has reached the threshold of breaking through to the True God realm.

Character Developments

  • Fang Yan: Remains calm and decisive despite Origin Ancestor’s failure. He takes control of the situation, secures the two Supreme Treasures, allocates one to Giant Axe, and prepares the Human Race for the dangers ahead.
  • Origin Ancestor: His apparent victory is revealed to be only partial. Though he successfully spread the Virtual Universe across the Primordial Universe, his true body was imprisoned in Universe Origin Land. He accepts his fate with serenity and acknowledges that the possession method may be fundamentally flawed.
  • Chaos Lord: Initially celebrates humanity’s apparent triumph, then experiences shock and denial when the Supreme Treasures appear. His faith in Origin Ancestor leads him to correctly infer that Origin Ancestor has not died, and he remains deeply concerned with rescuing his teacher.
  • Giant Axe Founder: His excitement turns to disbelief after learning the truth. He is chosen to receive Myriad Crystal Domain, which should elevate him from barely reaching eighth-order strength to becoming a powerful eighth-order True God.
  • Darkness Lord: Reveals major advancement after repeatedly studying and plundering True God Small Universes and absorbing compatible resources and inheritances. He is now on the verge of becoming a True God, reaching this milestone far earlier than expected.
  • The other human leaders: Their initial confidence gives way to shock and uncertainty, but they continue to rely on Fang Yan’s judgment.

Significant Themes

  • The difference between apparent victory and true success: The Virtual Universe’s expansion creates the illusion that Origin Ancestor has won, but his imprisonment exposes the limits of that achievement.
  • The risks of pursuing power through untested methods: Origin Ancestor’s failure suggests that attempting to possess the Primordial Universe may be fundamentally impossible.
  • Leadership and responsibility: Fang Yan takes responsibility for distributing the Supreme Treasures and guiding humanity through the aftermath.
  • Inheritance and accumulated strength: Darkness Lord’s impending breakthrough demonstrates how resources, experience, and inheritances gathered over countless battles can accelerate cultivation.
  • Hope amid defeat: Although Origin Ancestor is trapped, he remains alive and able to communicate, while the Human Race gains new weapons and Darkness Lord approaches True God status.

Important Character Interactions

  • Chaos Lord and Giant Axe react with disbelief to the appearance of Origin Ancestor’s Supreme Treasures, while Darkness Lord openly asks whether their teacher has failed.

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After a thousand years, Darkness Lord successfully breaks through and becomes a True God, greatly strengthening the Human Race.
  • During a Human Race gathering in the Virtual Universe, Fang Yan begins reallocating Supreme Treasures:
    • Giant Axe Founder admits that the Myriad Crystal Domain does not suit his combat style.
    • He selflessly gives it to Darkness True God, whose path complements the treasure. With it, Darkness is expected to reach Eighth-Order True God combat strength.
  • Chaos Lord formally inherits Origin Ancestor’s responsibilities and announces that he will leave a Clone in the Initial Universe to guard Chaos City, the Chaos Stele, and Human Race geniuses. He becomes the new Chaos City Leader.
  • Fang Yan organizes the Human Race’s combat forces. Giant Axe and Darkness will operate publicly and secretly, respectively, with Darkness continuing to command the Human Race’s hidden forces.
  • In the Purple Moon Sacred Land, Purple Moon Ancestor orders Juehua True God to attack the Human Race’s gathering point at Liuzhong Mountain. The objective is to determine whether Origin Ancestor can still intervene.
  • Juehua True God arrives at Tusita Palace, where Yan Lei has spent dozens of eras perfecting the coordination of the Thunderclap Twenty-Eight Needles, the Thunder Immortal Bottle, and twenty-eight Peak Treasures.
  • Juehua, a Ninth-Order True God, launches a casual attack against Tusita Palace. Yan Lei activates the Twenty-Eight Lunar Mansions Heavenly Thunder Formation and successfully blocks it.
  • Impressed but no longer dismissive, Juehua draws his Supreme Treasure, the Juehua Flying Blade, and attacks the formation’s core nodes. Yan Lei realizes this strike is vastly more powerful and may overwhelm his defenses almost immediately.

Character Developments

  • Darkness True God: Achieves a major breakthrough and receives the Myriad Crystal Domain, significantly increasing his combat power and reinforcing his role as the Human Race’s hidden trump card.
  • Giant Axe Founder: Demonstrates his continued selflessness by surrendering a powerful treasure for the sake of maximizing the Human Race’s strength.
  • Chaos City Leader: Fully assumes Origin Ancestor’s legacy and accepts permanent responsibility for protecting the Human Race’s foundations and future generations.
  • Fang Yan: Acts as the Human Race’s central strategist and protector. He manages treasure allocation, assigns combat roles, and continues suppressing his own breakthrough for the race’s benefit.
  • Yan Lei: Reveals the results of his long-term cultivation and technical research. Though still only a Universe Lord, his mastery of formations and treasures allows him to withstand a Ninth-Order True God’s casual attack.
  • Juehua True God: Initially regards Yan Lei and Tusita Palace with contempt, but becomes genuinely serious after Yan Lei blocks his first strike.

Significant Themes

  • Legacy and succession: Chaos Lord’s appointment as Chaos City Leader shows Origin Ancestor’s ideals continuing through a new guardian.
  • Strategic preparation versus overwhelming power: Yan Lei’s carefully engineered formation can stop a casual attack from a vastly stronger opponent, but the chapter emphasizes the limits of preparation against true Supreme Treasure-level power.
  • Hidden strength and uncertainty: Both sides conceal their full capabilities. Purple Moon Ancestor tests whether Origin Ancestor can still act, while the Human Race keeps Darkness True God hidden as a trump card.

  • Before dying, Juehua sends a warning to Purple Moon Sacred Land. The Thunder Beast God witnesses Fang Yan’s power, while Purple Moon Ancestor concludes that the Human Race must have acquired an ancient civilization’s inheritance.
  • Purple Moon Ancestor and East Emperor Ancestor conspire to spread a false rumor that the Human Race possesses an inheritance explaining how to transcend Reincarnation. They hope desperate True Gods will pressure Fang Yan, allowing them to intervene and demand the inheritance.
  • The rumor spreads across the Universe Ocean. Three First-Era wanderers—Withered Bone Demon God, Ancestor of Extreme Flame, and Frost Chi True God—approach Fang Yan offering treasures, resources, and loyalty. Fang Yan denies having an inheritance, then kills all three in under thirty breaths.

  • Power and isolation: Fang Yan’s strength makes direct opposition nearly hopeless, while his refusal to negotiate deepens others’ fear.
  • The cost of survival: True Gods are willing to surrender immense wealth and loyalty for even the possibility of escaping Reincarnation.

Ch. 311The Formation Dao

Key plot points and events

  • News reaches the God Eye Clan that the Human Race has obtained an inheritance said to allow transcendence of Reincarnation. God Eye True Master weighs whether to confront the Humans, remembering both his old grievance against them and a past debt to Origin Ancestor.
  • He sends Third True Master (Star True Master) and Sixth True Master (Jade-Eyed True Master) to meet Fang Yan and demand that the Human Race honor an alleged promise to share the inheritance.
  • Fang Yan denies their claim and attacks. Trapped within his Third Heaven projection and seven-colored Cosmic Wind Haze, the two True Gods combine their powers and Supreme Treasures into a nine-headed, eighteen-clawed beast.
  • Fang Yan defeats the fused form with Ten Origins Unity, a strike at Void True God level. He devours both visitors’ remaining power and kills them, keeping their three Supreme Treasures.

  • After learning that Star and Jade-Eyed True Masters are dead, God Eye True Master erupts in anger and orders the clan to summon allies among the Universe Ocean’s True Gods.

Character developments and interactions

  • God Eye True Master struggles between vengeance and gratitude toward Origin Ancestor, but ultimately sends envoys to press the inheritance claim. Their deaths turn his hesitation into open fury and a call for allies.
  • Fang Yan responds to the demand with immediate, overwhelming force. His confidence is evident as he dismisses the visitors’ fusion as no true Eternal True God and treats their deaths as a warning to the God Eye Clan.
  • Star True Master and Jade-Eyed True Master begin as forceful envoys, but are forced into a desperate alliance. Their combined technique fails against Fang Yan’s greater power.
  • Yan Lei reveals his ambition and skill in the Formation Dao, seeking to transform the Heavenly Thunder Formation into an offensive weapon. Fang Yan recognizes the long-term value of that talent and equips him generously. Their exchange shows Fang Yan’s strategic trust in his clone.

Significant themes

  • Power and deterrence: Fang Yan’s decisive victory transforms a diplomatic confrontation into a warning that may provoke a broader conflict.
  • Gratitude versus revenge: God Eye True Master’s past debt to Origin Ancestor briefly restrains his hostility, but the dispute over the inheritance and the deaths of his envoys overwhelm that restraint.
  • Long-term cultivation and specialization: Fang Yan values Yan Lei’s Formation Dao not only for immediate combat gains but for its future potential.
  • Trust and responsibility: Fang Yan supplies Yan Lei with rare treasures, while Yan Lei’s focused nature lets him pursue his chosen path with exceptional speed.

  • One year later, God Eye True Master’s twenty-eight True Gods arrive outside Liuzhong Mountain and prepare to attack Fang Yan’s Tusita Palace.
  • Fang Yan appears alone, seemingly inviting the alliance to underestimate him. When the enemy attacks, he activates the Time Immortal Gu and creates two additional combat clones—one of light and one of darkness.
  • With three Tenth-Order combatants and the Time Immortal Gu’s enhancement, Fang Yan transforms the Third Heaven into the vastly stronger Nine Heavens.
  • The Nine Heavens suppresses the enemy army, weakening their divine power and beginning to destroy their bodies.
  • Fang Yan links the Nine Heavens together through Tianxi World, multiplying its power. The Seventh-Order True Gods begin collapsing and are devoured by his Cosmic Wind Haze Beast body.

  • Spring Autumn Cicada Clone: Its existence gives Fang Yan confidence that the Jianmu Divine Tree’s temporary sacrifice can be reversed.

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Kong Luo continues fighting four Eighth-Order True Gods despite having lost seventy percent of his Peak Treasure armor and suffering massive wounds.
  • Second True Master pierces Kong Luo’s divine body, but Kong Luo retaliates with an eighth-order soul attack. The attack reveals that Kong Luo possesses no True God Heart, leaving the God Eye Clan terrified because his divine power appears inexhaustible.
  • Kong Luo reveals his identity as the supposedly dead powerhouse from tens of thousands of epochs ago. His divine power is supplied remotely through karmic connections to Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom, allowing him to recover continuously without a True God Heart.
  • Fifty light-years away, the Insect Race Empress uses the same principle. She repeatedly summons tens of thousands of Insect Race warriors, dispersing and recreating them as needed. Her lack of a True God Heart likewise makes her extremely difficult to kill.
  • Darkness True God secretly infiltrates the chaotic battlefield and waits for the right opportunity while the temporary God Eye Clan alliance becomes disorganized.
  • Giant Axe Founder battles Nine-Headed Demon Master and Bone Master. He uses the Jianmu Divine Tree to block Nine-Headed Demon Master’s destructive black beams, though the tree suffers heavy damage.
  • When Nine-Headed Demon Master launches a full-power attack, Darkness True God traps him with the Myriad Crystal Domain. Giant Axe Founder then strikes from the front, while Kong Luo’s soul attack briefly paralyzes him.

Character Developments

  • Kong Luo: Revealed to be the long-dead powerhouse Kong Luo. His mysterious resurrection or altered existence is confirmed, and his connection to Fang Yan gives him seemingly limitless divine power. He displays a calm, ruthless, almost death-defying combat style.
  • Fang Yan: Demonstrates the enormous scale of his power and strategic influence. His Divine Kingdom sustains both Kong Luo and the Insect Race Empress, while his sudden battlefield arrival dramatically shifts the balance of power.
  • Insect Race Empress: Shows extraordinary command over her summoned forces, treating her warriors as endlessly renewable weapons rather than irreplaceable troops.
  • Giant Axe Founder: Continues to fight with overwhelming courage and battle spirit, using the damaged Jianmu Divine Tree as both shield and weapon. His teamwork with Darkness True God and Kong Luo proves highly effective.

  • Bone Master: Shifts from confidence to alarm. Fang Yan’s arrival causes him to abandon the fight and attempt escape.
  • Second True Master: Becomes deeply frightened after recognizing Kong Luo and realizing that conventional methods cannot easily kill him.

Significant Themes

  • Immortality and altered existence: Kong Luo and the Insect Race Empress lack True God Hearts, removing their conventional weakness and suggesting a higher or abnormal form of existence.
  • Causality and power transfer: Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom supplies energy across the dimension of causality, showing how advanced control of laws can overturn normal limitations.
  • Teamwork and battlefield coordination: The defeat of Nine-Headed Demon Master results from the precise cooperation of Darkness True God, Giant Axe Founder, and Kong Luo.
  • Hidden identities and reversals: Kong Luo’s survival and Fang Yan’s unexpected arrival overturn the God Eye Clan’s assumptions.
  • Strategic patience: Darkness True God’s concealment and Fang Yan’s timed appearance emphasize that victory depends not only on strength but also on timing and positioning.
  • Shifting power balance: The battlefield changes rapidly from a chaotic stalemate to a situation in which Fang Yan’s side gains overwhelming control.

Character Interactions

  • Kong Luo and Second True Master: Kong Luo’s soul attack exposes his abnormal nature, and his identity terrifies Second True Master.
  • Giant Axe Founder and Nine-Headed Demon Master: Their direct clash is fierce and destructive, with Giant Axe refusing to yield despite the Jianmu Divine Tree’s damage.
  • Darkness True God and Nine-Headed Demon Master: Darkness exploits Nine-Headed Demon Master’s moment of vulnerability and traps him with the Myriad Crystal Domain.
  • Kong Luo, Darkness True God, and Giant Axe Founder: Their attacks are synchronized, allowing them to inflict devastating damage on an opponent with ninth-order combat power.
  • Bone Master and Giant Axe Founder: Bone Master attempts to intimidate Giant Axe by revealing the threat to Tusita Palace, but Giant Axe ignores the warning and continues attacking.
  • Fang Yan and the battlefield forces: Fang Yan’s arrival intimidates Bone Master and instantly places the remaining God Eye Clan forces under containment through his three-world projection.

  • The Ten Origins Unity killing move pierces Bone Master’s True God Heart. The Seven-Colored Cosmic Wind Haze and Fang Yan’s phantoms wipe out the remaining enemies: all fifty-six God Eye Alliance True Gods are annihilated.
  • The loss leaves the Universe Ocean stunned. East Emperor Ancestor concludes that a third Sacred Land Universe is likely to emerge.
  • Fang Yan later discusses the consequences with Giant Axe Founder, who worries that killing so many True Gods will weaken the Universe Ocean against the future Realm Beast crisis. Fang Yan says he has a plan and prioritizes collecting the fallen True Gods’ Small Universes.
  • Fang Yan restores the withered Jianmu Divine Tree using the Spring Autumn Cicada Clone’s Time Reversal ability, then returns it to the eye of the storm.
  • Over the next thirty years, Darkness True God leads the recovery of the fallen True Gods’ Small Universes and their resources for the Human Race Treasure Vault. No one opposes the effort, fearing Fang Yan’s power. Three great powers remain: Purple Moon Sacred Land, East Emperor Sacred Land, and the Human Race–led Third Reincarnation Era Alliance.
  • Ten years later, Fang Yan turns his attention to the Dark Land, where he expects the Realm Beasts to remain below the level of a serious threat.
  • He finds eight Realm Beasts fighting. Their combined soul assault fails against his Void True God–level soul. Fang Yan kills one with Ten Origins Unity, but the other seven split into 693 projections to escape.
  • Fang Yan summons the Third Heaven to pursue and contain them; the chapter ends as its projections descend.

Character developments and interactions

  • Fang Yan establishes himself as the dominant force in the Universe Ocean. Though he recognizes the consequences of the massacre, he remains focused on preparing for future threats and gathering resources. His confidence extends to confronting the Realm Beasts directly.

Ch. 316Hundred-Thousandfold Genes

Key events

  • Fang Yan traps the eight Realm Beasts’ 693 escaping streaks inside his expanded Nine Heavens and destroys them, erasing their soul imprints.
  • Their remains add enough Dao Marks to push his total past ten million, breaking a genetic barrier. His Spring Autumn Cicada Clone reaches hundred-thousandfold genes, but initially grows only to 100 million kilometers.
  • Fang Yan notices that more than 800,000 of his Dao Marks are aggressive Blood Path marks. He suspects Blood Path in his Divine Kingdom is linked to the Realm Beasts’ Destruction Origin Great Dao.
  • His Divine Kingdom becomes a Small Universe, expanding to one billion light-years—ten times the ordinary size. Unexpectedly, his Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clone remains separate.
  • The Spring Autumn Cicada instinctively devours the Small Universe, folding it into itself as an internal world. Once that world stabilizes, the clone grows to twelve light-years, the full size of a Perfect Divine Body.

Character developments and interactions

Fang Yan moves from measuring his new power to investigating what it means: he connects the Realm Beasts, Blood Path, and Destruction Origin, while realizing the Spring Autumn Cicada may involve multiple origin Great Daos. He accepts the clone’s urge to consume the universe, sensing it is the completion of an innate process rather than a loss of control. The clone’s relationship to the Small Universe shifts from being its vessel to carrying it within itself; the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clone, meanwhile, remains an independent existence.

Significant themes

  • Hidden connections and origins: Rare Blood Path Dao Marks may reveal a link between the Divine Kingdom and the Destruction Origin Great Dao.

  • Escalating ambition: Even after attaining a portable universe and immense power, Fang Yan’s immediate goal is to advance to Void True God.

Ch. 317Void True God

Chapter Summary: “Void True God”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • He begins his breakthrough to the Void True God realm, using the law insights of the Ten-Origin Immortal Gu. His divine power causes void to form naturally, expanding his Small Universe.
  • The Small Universe ultimately reaches an astonishing one hundred billion light-years, vastly surpassing the Sacred Land universes of Purple Moon Ancestor and East Emperor Ancestor. Both are shocked and wonder whether Fang Yan has already reached the Eternal True God level.
  • The Primordial Universe’s Origin Will begins exerting stronger repulsive force on Fang Yan, urging him toward the Reincarnation Passage, but Fang Yan delays entering it to complete one final arrangement.
  • In the Dark Land, Fang Yan uses the combined power of the Metal Continent, Golden Hive, and Cold Rain Autumn Scenery to trap and slaughter Realm Beasts. His Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clone devours their remaining divine power, rapidly accumulating Blood Path Dao Marks.
  • Fang Yan summons all 214 contracted Universe Lords serving Heavenly Court. Rather than rewarding or retaining them, he executes them simultaneously, disintegrating their divine bodies into Dao Marks.
  • He spares only Fallen Angel, Heavenly Court’s chief steward, and announces that Heavenly Court will be fundamentally reorganized. It will cease being a force of conquest and become an Adventurer’s Guild open to cultivators of all races and cultivation levels.

Character Developments

  • Fang Yan demonstrates increasing power and strategic clarity. He prioritizes reaching the Void True God realm, recognizes the limitations of his internal Small Universe, and achieves an unprecedented universe size.

  • Purple Moon Ancestor and East Emperor Ancestor are forced to reassess Fang Yan, realizing that his breakthrough has exceeded their expectations and may rival the Eternal True God level.
  • Fallen Angel shifts from loyal chief steward to a shocked witness of Heavenly Court’s transformation. Although horrified by Fang Yan’s execution of the 214 Universe Lords, she remains trusted and is chosen to continue serving him.

Significant Themes

  • Power and transcendence: Fang Yan’s hundred-billion-light-year Small Universe establishes him as an extraordinary existence even among Void True Gods.
  • Pragmatism and ruthless utility: Fang Yan values subordinates according to their usefulness. Once the Universe Ocean is subdued, the bloodthirsty conquerors who helped build Heavenly Court are discarded.
  • Institutional transformation: Heavenly Court evolves from a military organization enforcing domination into a universal network based on missions, intelligence, resources, and arbitration.
  • Moral ambiguity: Heavenly Court previously accepted criminals and genocidal figures as long as they fought external enemies. Their sudden execution highlights Fang Yan’s willingness to use and eliminate evil without offering redemption.
  • Control versus cooperation: Fang Yan replaces direct coercion and conquest with a system that attracts cultivators through benefits and rules, suggesting a more sustainable form of universal influence.

Character Interactions

  • Fang Yan has no meaningful dialogue with Purple Moon Ancestor or East Emperor Ancestor, but his breakthrough directly provokes their fear and speculation.

Ch. 318Chaos and Destruction Dao Marks

Key plot points and events

  • Fang Yan instructs Fallen Angel to run Heavenly Court as a neutral, universal mission platform. Its vault treasures will be offered as rewards, and missions may support exploration, gather resources, hunt dangerous beasts, or protect vulnerable peoples—as long as they uphold heavenly law and the greater good.
  • Fang Yan intends this reform to restore Heavenly Court’s reputation and avoid future conflict with Luo Feng, whom he expects to become a powerful, uncompromising opponent of injustice.
  • The deaths of 214 Universe Lords yield more than ten million Dao Marks from the ten fundamental laws. Their fusion produces Fang Yan’s first Chaos Dao Mark.
  • Fang Yan continues hunting Realm Beasts in the Dark Land, hoping that ten million Blood Path Dao Marks might form a Destruction Dao Mark. Over ten eras, he accumulates two Destruction Dao Marks and one Chaos Dao Mark, alongside millions of Blood Path marks.
  • Fang Yan’s reputation as the “Spring Autumn Progenitor” spreads through rumors planted by Heart Scar Lord, portraying him as a selfless defender of humanity and the Universe Ocean.
  • On the Ancient Ferry Race homeworld, Hai Xi establishes the Spring Autumn Divine Church, naming Fang Yan its object of faith and herself its Saintess. The borderless, multi-race church is meant to welcome all who join in goodwill and devotion. Fang Yan allows it, recognizing that faith may prove useful later.
  • The Primordial Universe’s Origin Will increasingly repels Fang Yan’s Spring Autumn Cicada and Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clones, apparently pushing them toward Reincarnation. His eight Tian Xi Clones remain unaffected.
  • Fang Yan has prepared for what lies ahead by refining two rank-nine Immortal Gu using substitutes sourced from the Universe Ocean. His preparations for the journey to the Origin Continent are nearly complete.

Character developments and interactions

  • Fang Yan acts strategically on several fronts: reforming Heavenly Court, shaping his public image, cultivating faith, and pursuing new Dao Marks. Though pragmatic and self-interested, he prefers making potential allies rather than enemies.
  • Fallen Angel accepts responsibility for Heavenly Court’s daily operations and mission system.
  • Hai Xi, Fang Yan’s dutiful disciple, takes the initiative to build a church around him. Her declaration casts the church as inclusive and protective; Fang Yan chooses not to interfere.
  • Heart Scar Lord helps manufacture Fang Yan’s heroic reputation by spreading rumors at his direction.

Chapter Summary: “Layout Before Reincarnation”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Fang Yan decides that his old Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Clone has fulfilled its purpose and self-destructs it in the Dark Land.
  • Using the Spring Autumn Cicada Clone’s Time Reversal technique, he rescues a fragment of the clone’s soul before it is completely destroyed.
  • He reconstructs the clone with a new foundation: a Chaos Dao Mark, two Destruction Dao Marks, and nearly a million Blood Path Dao Marks.
  • The resulting body is a vastly more powerful dark-red ferocious beast with a genetic multiplier of one hundred thousand times. Fang Yan transforms it into human form and names it Wu Yong, intending to use it as a hidden trump card on the Origin Continent.
  • Fang Yan also transforms the Spring Autumn Cicada Clone into a human swordsman and names him He Chunqiu.
  • He summons Kong Luo and the Insect Race Empress, confirms that both can use World Projection to reach initial Void True God-level combat power, and orders them to enter the Dark Land and kill Realm Beasts. Their kills will feed power back into Fang Yan’s Small Universe.
  • In the Virtual Universe, Fang Yan gathers the Human Race’s upper echelon and announces that he will attempt reincarnation in three months.
  • He offers weaker or less confident cultivators a fallback: after reaching the True God level, they can reincarnate within his Small Universe, gaining access to projected-world power comparable to a Void True God.
  • Fang Yan warns that those who choose this route will have their future cultivation tied to the growth of his Small Universe.
  • Giant Axe Founder and Darkness True God reject the fallback for now, choosing to pursue the Void True God realm through their own efforts.
  • After the meeting, Fang Yan completes a carefully altered book describing the major events of his world while avoiding forbidden truths imposed by the Supreme Rule. The book is titled Swallowed Star.

Character Developments

  • Individual determination versus security: Giant Axe and Darkness choose the difficult path of independent cultivation rather than accepting a safer but dependent alternative.
  • Identity and concealment: The new names and human forms of Wu Yong and He Chunqiu reflect Fang Yan’s need to hide his true nature and avoid karmic detection.
