Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary

A century has passed, but Hei Miaomiao remains physically unchanged and as innocent as ever. She reunites with Fang Yan, still disguised as “Sister Loulan,” and affectionately clings to him. Fang Yan maintains his aloof older-sister persona, though his habitual gesture of patting her head has developed into genuine emotional attachment. Miaomiao asks whether the Black Heaven Lord will successfully break through to the Universe Lord realm, and Fang Yan confidently assures her that he will, despite privately feeling anxious.
Years later, the Black Heaven Secret Realm begins shaking violently as the Black Heaven Lord reaches the critical final stage of his breakthrough. At that moment, Venerable Yu Qing, a powerful Top Universe Overlord of the Rainclear Race, arrives at the realm’s entrance. She declares that the Lord cannot break through without the Rainclear Race’s permission, revealing that the political dispute over ownership of the secret realm has escalated into direct intervention.
The two Lower Universe Venerables of the Black Sky Lotus Race attempt to stop Yu Qing, but she defeats them effortlessly with silvery-white energy. When hundreds of Black Sky Lotus warriors—including Army Lords, Marquises, and Kings—attack her, she annihilates many of them just as easily. Her overwhelming strength demonstrates the enormous difference between a Top Universe Overlord and Lower Venerables.
Hei Sisi leads the surviving Black Sky Lotus forces into battle despite the severe crack running across her body, showing that she is already badly damaged but refuses to retreat. Hei Miaomiao follows her, abandoning her usual cheerful innocence for grim determination. Fang Yan secretly enters the Dawn Zone to help, but his concealment is exposed by the battle shockwaves. Sisi orders him to leave for his own safety, while Miaomiao urges him to hide. When Fang Yan asks Miaomiao to escape with him, she refuses, telling him to “eat more for me” and charging at Yu Qing herself, trusting that the Lord’s successful breakthrough will turn the battle around.
However, the Black Heaven Lord’s breakthrough begins to falter. The golden light surrounding the enormous lotus with 10,081 petals flickers weakly, suggesting that he may fail to cross the threshold from High Universe Venerable to Universe Lord. The remaining Black Sky Lotuses launch a desperate assault against Yu Qing in an attempt to buy time. As the battle reaches its crisis point, a battered Black Sky Lotus rises from the Dark Night Zone and weakly calls out to the Lord, ending the chapter on a suspenseful cliffhanger.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Fang Yan: His disguise as Loulan has become emotionally complicated. His care for Miaomiao is no longer merely an act, and he is deeply distressed by the danger facing her and the Black Sky Lotus Race. Despite being ordered to retreat, he secretly follows the fighters into battle.
• Hei Miaomiao: She remains affectionate and cheerful in ordinary moments, but reveals unexpected courage and self-sacrifice during the crisis. Her decision to attack Yu Qing alone shows her loyalty to the Lord and her willingness to die for the race.
• Hei Sisi: Though seriously damaged, Sisi remains composed and protective. Her command that Fang Yan leave demonstrates her concern for him beneath her normally cold exterior.
• Venerable Yu Qing: She is introduced as an overwhelmingly powerful and dismissive antagonist. Her calm destruction of the Black Sky Lotus defenders establishes her as the decisive force threatening the secret realm.

• Political conflict becoming violence: The dispute over ownership of the Black Heaven Secret Realm has shifted from negotiation to an attempt to forcibly prevent the Lord’s advancement.

Chapter Summary: “Enslavement”

Key Plot Points and Events

• A second Lower Venerable follows, willingly sacrificing herself in the same way. The remaining Black Sky Lotus immortals then launch a suicidal assault on Venerable Yu Qing to buy time.

• Venerable Yu Qing attacks Black Sky Overlord with a devastating spear strike. Fang Yan orders her to stop, but she ignores him and pierces the giant lotus.

• He also shows cleverness in distinguishing between forcing Black Sky Overlord into soul slavery and persuading her to acknowledge him as her master, recognizing that the latter would be more advantageous and less oppressive.
• Black Sky Overlord reaches the threshold of becoming a Universe Lord but is weakened by the destruction of her race and the sacrifices of her subordinates. Her pride and anger remain intact, yet she is placed in an unprecedented position of helplessness and humiliation.

• Black Sky Overlord initially refuses, viewing it as humiliating for a newly ascended Universe Lord to serve a World Lord.

• He introduces himself under the name Hong Ting, avoiding the more dangerous claim that he is the Red Lotus Demon Venerable.
• To prove his identity and connection to the Beast God, Fang Yan presents the Beast God Inheritance Token, which the Wind Beast God recognizes as the token he once gave to “that brat.”
• Although the Beast God questions what happened to the token’s original owner and shows some anger, he ultimately chooses not to pursue the matter.
• The Wind Beast God grants Fang Yan authorization to enter the Ancestral God Cult’s four major external core regions: the Glory World, Inheritance Land, Treasure Land, and Secret Realm.
• In the Inheritance Land, Fang Yan gains important insights into the Law of Wind, finally perfecting the last flaw in his Late Wind comprehension and reaching the third level of inheritance.
• However, his progress is modest compared with exceptional figures such as Luo Feng, meaning he will likely earn only one Glory Point per epoch and may need to wait a hundred epochs for sufficient advancement.
• Fang Yan searches the Treasure Land but fails to obtain any treasure, leaving him frustrated and doubtful about the immediate value of his visit.
• He decides to continue into the Secret Realm, refusing to give up hope of finding a useful opportunity.
• Meanwhile, in the Glory World, nearly a hundred Demon Race immortals—including the three Demon Race Kings—plot against humanity’s only current practitioner of the fusion-law path. They hope Fang Yan’s disappearance will anger the Human Race’s powerful allies, especially Dragon Walker Lord.
• Fang Yan eventually reaches the Illusory Sand Ocean, where a gigantic gaseous planet filled with silver sandstorms offers an ideal environment for cultivating the Wind-Time Fusion Law.

Significant Themes

• Identity and concealment: Fang Yan must carefully manage his identity, using the name Hong Ting rather than openly claiming his former title.
• Inheritance and recognition: The Beast God Inheritance Token serves as proof of Fang Yan’s connection to the past and allows him to gain access despite uncertainty about his transformation.
• Persistence despite limited rewards: Fang Yan’s visit does not immediately produce great gains, but he continues searching rather than surrendering.

• After reducing Blood Shark King’s divine body to roughly one-third, Fang Yan uses God-Killing Powder along with his sword attack to destroy him completely.
• Instead of dispersing, Blood Shark King’s remaining blood mist flows into Fang Yan’s Divine Kingdom and condenses into a crimson Dao Mark.

• Rather than resist, Fang Yan studies the current’s complex vortex patterns. He realizes that their movements resemble the trajectory of the Time Pause law.
• After reaching the seafloor, Fang Yan meditates for three thousand years, reconstructing the current’s countless arcs and tremors. He eventually creates the Cosmic Sea Sinking-Floating Diagram, which embodies the mysteries of Time Pause.
• Fang Yan then uses the current’s movement to study the Law of Wind. In only two years, he creates the Thousand-Li Wind-Chasing Diagram.
• Combining the principles of time and wind, Fang Yan forms a third diagram: the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast Diagram, depicting his own body and cultivation path. This marks his mastery of the Wind-Time Fusion Law.

Chapter Summary: “Rumors”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Fang Yan, disguised as Hong Ting, returns to the Illusory Sand Ocean to search for Deep-Eyed Sand Jade.
• Using the Cosmic Sea Sinking-Floating Diagram and his growing comprehension of the Time Law, he can now identify the locations of many hidden grains.
• Over the course of one year, he collects 1,008 grains of Deep-Eyed Sand Jade—far surpassing the dozen or so he found during three years of previous searching.
• Fang Yan realizes that his deductions only cover the Time Pause aspect of the Time Law, so he cannot locate the jade hidden even deeper within the sand currents.
• He deliberately photographs the collected jade and posts it on Glory World, claiming that a powerful Cosmic Wind Haze Beast has gathered countless treasures in the Illusory Sand Ocean.
• The post sparks widespread rumors and private discussions among the Law of Wind inheritors. Although many suspect a trap, greed draws some powerful figures toward the location.
• Moonlan King of the Moonward Tribe arrives with two High King-Level Immortals, intending to claim the jade and demanding sixty percent of the spoils.
• Fang Yan detects their arrival and prepares to confront them, drawing the World-Ending Sword and activating his six wings.

Character Developments

• Fang Yan/Hong Ting: Demonstrates major progress in his understanding of the Time Law and uses his intelligence, resources, and knowledge of human nature rather than relying solely on brute force.

Significant Themes

• Ingenuity versus brute force: Fang Yan’s success comes from combining cultivation insight, specialized tools, speed, and deception.
• Greed and manipulation: The rumor succeeds because powerful cultivators are willing to risk danger for valuable treasure. Fang Yan exploits this weakness to “raise gu,” gathering strong opponents for elimination.
• Growth through comprehension: Fang Yan’s improved understanding of the Time Law transforms a previously nearly impossible search into an efficient process, while also emphasizing the limits of his current abilities.
• Power and changing hierarchies: Both Fang Yan’s planned confrontation and Chen Fan’s victory demonstrate how overwhelming strength can rapidly reshape existing power structures.
• Rumor as a weapon: Information—whether true or false—becomes a strategic tool capable of directing the actions of entire groups.

Character Interactions

• Hei Miaomiao challenges Fang Yan about the danger of provoking powerful enemies, while Fang Yan reassures her by mentioning his stockpile of God-Killing Powder.

Chapter Summary: “Fishing”

• The haze cuts off the two Moonward Tribe immortals from Moonlan King and conceals Fang Yan’s movements. Using the World-Ending Sword, the Late Wind technique, and God-Killing Powder, Fang Yan rapidly weakens both enemies.
• Fang Yan attempts to enslave the two immortals with his soul secret technique, but they choose to self-destruct before he can succeed. Fang Yan manipulates the haze so that much of the explosion’s force strikes Moonlan King.
• Moonlan King flees, but Fang Yan’s Wind-Following Wings allow him to overtake her. He attacks her with the same combination of sword techniques, God-Killing Powder, and soul pressure.
• Realizing she cannot escape, Moonlan King self-destructs. Before dying, she vows that the future Moonward Overlord will revive her and remember Fang Yan. Fang Yan survives the blast with the help of the Black Lotus Battle Armor, though he is slightly injured.
• The deaths of the Moonward Tribe immortals produce additional Dao Marks and increase the Spring Autumn Cicada’s genetic multiplier. Fang Yan views the rewards as valuable gains obtained “for free.”
• Fang Yan then waits for more enemies, treating the information released about him as bait to lure powerful opponents into the Illusory Sand Ocean.
• Thirty years later, he battles a Peak King-level warrior of the Purple Rock Tribe.

After five hundred sword strikes, he kills the Purple Rock Tribe King.
• One hundred years after the information release, Fang Yan remains engaged in continuous battles. His body and armor are heavily damaged, but the Spring Autumn Cicada’s Time Reversal restores both Fang Yan and Hei Miaomiao to full strength.
• With his strength renewed, Fang Yan declares that they should continue slaughtering their enemies. Numerous Dao Marks now fill his Divine Kingdom, showing the scale of his victories.

Character Developments

• Fang Yan becomes increasingly confident, calculating, and ruthless. He deliberately uses the Illusory Sand Ocean, Cosmic Wind Haze, and enemy pursuit to turn himself into bait for powerful opponents.

• Fang Yan also demonstrates emotional detachment toward his enemies, mocking Moonlan King’s hope of being revived by the Moonward Overlord.
• Moonlan King shifts from a superior, dismissive challenger to a desperate fugitive. When defeat becomes inevitable, she chooses self-destruction rather than allowing Fang Yan to kill or enslave her.
• Hei Miaomiao provides a more vulnerable and humorous contrast to Fang Yan. She complains about the damage to her divine body, while Fang Yan remains focused on the larger hunt.
• The Spring Autumn Cicada becomes increasingly important as a recovery mechanism, allowing Fang Yan and Hei Miaomiao to fight repeatedly without being permanently weakened.

Significant Themes

• Predator and prey: Fang Yan reverses the expected power dynamic, allowing rumors and enemy greed to draw opponents toward him so he can hunt them one by one.

• The two Moonward Tribe immortals panic when Fang Yan attempts enslavement and desperately call for retreat, but their isolation prevents Moonlan King from rescuing them.
• Moonlan King and Fang Yan engage in a high-speed pursuit, with Fang Yan gradually overcoming her advantage on the time path through his superior wings and control of the haze.
• Before self-destructing, Moonlan King threatens Fang Yan with the future retaliation of the Moonward Overlord; Fang Yan dismisses the threat afterward.
• Hei Miaomiao complains about her injuries, while Fang Yan reassures her indirectly through the Spring Autumn Cicada’s Time Reversal and immediately returns to hunting more enemies.

• Recognizing the overwhelming danger, Fang Yan flees at full speed. Zhu Jiajia reveals herself to be a spatial-type Invincible King, repeatedly teleporting ahead of him and easily escaping his Time Pause.
• Fang Yan uses his telekinesis to analyze the Illusory Sand Ocean’s currents. He predicts the location of an upcoming current and risks everything to reach it before Zhu Jiajia can stop him.
• His desperate maneuver succeeds: Fang Yan passes Zhu Jiajia and is swept away by the current. He taunts her before disappearing into the sandstorm.
• Zhu Jiajia chooses not to pursue him, instead realizing that Fang Yan is connected to Hong Ting and may be the Cosmic Wind Haze Beast. She looks forward to their next encounter.
• The current carries Fang Yan through the Illusory Sand Ocean for five years. Eventually, he reaches the ocean floor, where his telekinesis detects what appears to be a cluster of buildings.

Key Plot Points and Events

• The chapter ends with the Pink-Haired Loli—or someone connected to her—arriving in response to the disturbance.

Chapter Summary: “An Incident”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Fang Yan is abruptly captured by the Pink-Haired Loli, who reveals herself as the Illusory Dream God General, a powerful Top Universe Overlord.
• She accuses Fang Yan of competing with her “little brother” for milk after he absorbed energy from the Illusory Sand Ocean. She takes him to the Wind Beast God for an explanation.
• At the Beast God Temple, the Illusory Dream God General complains to the Wind Beast God. To compensate her, the Wind Beast God pulls out a tuft of his own azure fur, which contains the Law of Wind.
• Satisfied, she threatens Fang Yan not to absorb indiscriminately and leaves.
• The Wind Beast God then questions Fang Yan about the ten Xun Cosmic Crystals he previously gave him. Fang Yan explains that he absorbed them but lost their benefits after changing bodies.
• Feeling guilty and generous, the Wind Beast God produces one thousand additional Xun Cosmic Crystals from his own blood and tells Fang Yan to invoke his name if he encounters danger.
• The Wind Beast God also asks Fang Yan to repeat memorable quotations Fang Yan had previously recited. Fang Yan realizes the Beast God admires these sayings and enthusiastically recites them.
• The Wind Beast God effectively treats Fang Yan as a disciple. Fang Yan accepts the situation reluctantly, worried that Chaos Lord may misunderstand their relationship.
• Before leaving, Fang Yan receives 10,000 Glory Points from the Wind Beast God.

Character Developments

• Fang Yan: Displays his usual opportunistic but cautious nature. He remains respectful toward powerful beings, yet internally mocks the absurdity of the situation. He becomes an unwilling disciple and gains substantial resources.
• Illusory Dream God General: Establishes herself as overwhelmingly powerful, physically playful, and easily irritated, but also capable of being appeased. Her affection for her younger “brother” motivates her complaint.
• Wind Beast God: Is shown to be both immensely powerful and comically sentimental. He generously compensates the Illusory Dream God General, regrets Fang Yan’s wasted crystals, and becomes an enthusiastic admirer of Fang Yan’s borrowed quotations.
• Hei Miaomiao: Quietly assists the Wind Beast God by taking away Fang Yan’s Wind-Following Wings, preventing him from escaping before the conversation is finished.

Significant Themes

• Power and helplessness: Fang Yan, despite his abilities, is completely powerless before the Illusory Dream God General and Wind Beast God.
• Comedic relationships among the powerful: Divine figures behave like squabbling relatives, using threats, gifts, and emotional bargaining rather than formal negotiations.
• Unexpected consequences of greed: Fang Yan’s attempt to absorb valuable energy creates trouble and forces him to answer to the Illusory Dream God General.
• Mentorship and reluctant affiliation: The Wind Beast God’s unilateral decision to make Fang Yan his disciple highlights how relationships with supreme beings can be imposed rather than chosen.
• Transmigrator satire: Fang Yan humorously reflects on his role as a “plagiarist,” repeating famous lines from his former world to impress powerful figures in his new one.

Character Interactions

• The Illusory Dream God General physically restrains, transports, and threatens Fang Yan, while Fang Yan responds with exaggerated respect.
• She confronts the Wind Beast God over Fang Yan’s actions, and the Beast God resolves the dispute by giving her a tuft of his fur.
• The Wind Beast God alternates between scolding Fang Yan for wasting resources and rewarding him with even more treasures.
• Fang Yan entertains the Wind Beast God by reciting philosophical quotations, creating an awkward master-disciple dynamic.

Chapter Summary: “Immortal Gu”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Fang Yan prepares to enter the Beast God Inheritance Land to improve his understanding of the Wind-Time Fusion Law.
• Before leaving, the more than seven hundred Water Dao Marks in his divine kingdom suddenly resonate.
• Their combined power condenses into a new rank-six Immortal Gu, formed entirely from the laws of the Primordial Universe rather than traditional Gu World materials.
• Fang Yan tests its ability: it creates countless water-based sword images that fall like rain. He names it the Rain Sword Immortal Gu.
• Although the Gu’s attack is visually impressive, its power is spread across too many swords, making it relatively ineffective against powerful Kings. Fang Yan decides to use it as the foundation for a new ultimate technique.
• Fang Yan then accepts the Beast God Inheritance five times, gaining deeper insights into the Wind Law, Time Law, and their fusion. He stops once he feels his accumulated doubts have largely been resolved.
• Over the following hundred years, Fang Yan gathers and arranges thousands of mortal Gu and studies additional Dao Marks obtained from defeated alien immortals.
• He begins constructing a new Immortal Dao killing move that combines the Rain Sword Immortal Gu with the Law of Wind.

Character Development

• Fang Yan demonstrates increasing mastery over the laws and resources within his divine kingdom.
• He shifts from simply receiving inheritances to independently developing techniques, recognizing that inheritance alone cannot carry him to the highest realms.
• His creation of the Rain Sword Immortal Gu confirms his ability to exploit the unique law-based nature of his divine kingdom.
• He becomes more methodical and patient, spending a century refining a technique rather than relying solely on immediate breakthroughs.

Significant Themes

• Creation through law: The Rain Sword Immortal Gu is a new lifeform created through the resonance of Dao Marks and Primordial Universe laws.
• Limits of raw power: A large-scale attack is not necessarily powerful; the Rain Sword Gu’s strength is diluted by the number of swords it produces.
• Inheritance versus innovation: Beast God Inheritance provides insight, but Fang Yan understands that true advancement requires personal comprehension and invention.
• Accumulation and patience: Fang Yan’s long lifespan allows him to spend decades refining his abilities and gradually building greater power.
• Fusion of different laws: The emerging technique combines Water and Wind Laws, foreshadowing a more sophisticated combat method.

Character Interactions

• Fang Yan has no direct conversations with other characters in this chapter.
• His interaction with the wider world occurs indirectly through the Beast God Inheritance, the Dao Marks obtained from slain alien immortals, and the previously received Wind-Following Wings from Hei Miaomiao.
• The chapter ends as Fang Yan links the Rain Sword Immortal Gu and the Wind Law into a complex formation, beginning the creation of a new ultimate move.
