• Great Wilderness City does not respond publicly, causing the incident to fade from public attention as the Beast Taming King Tournament continues.
• At Wenxin Estate, Nameless explains that he anticipated the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s retaliation and had Yuan Mulanzi strengthen the Turtlefolk Clan’s defenses. The attack therefore failed to cause the devastation the sect intended.
• Nameless reveals that Zhao Nuotai, Li Sihai, and others were deliberately kept alive because he may use them in a future plan to kill another Demon Star.

• Lin Renmei’s Dream Tapir faces Gongyang Zhen’s rare mighty-level Nine-Tailed Fish, a jade lifeform capable of manipulating atmospheric density and using spatial abilities.

• Lin Renmei: Shows preparation, composure, and tactical adaptability. Although her first attack fails, she quickly responds by using the Dream Tapir’s dreamscape ability.

• Gongyang Zhen is devastated because his defeat prevents him from reaching the tournament’s top ten, jeopardizing his mission and future family resources.
• In the resting area, Lin Renmei explains that the Dream Tapir used an ordinary image-based illusion formation. The Dream Tapir’s pink mist had been forming the illusion from the moment it appeared, creating false images that even spectators could see.

• Reputation and status: Ancient beast-taming families may enter anonymously to avoid embarrassment if they lose, but reveal themselves if they win and can use the victory to promote their family.
• Competition and unpredictability: The defeat of the favored Antarctic Panda demonstrates that reputation does not guarantee victory and that unexpected contenders can radically change the tournament.
• Entertainment and culture: The constant performances and discussion of a universe devoted to filmmaking show that cultivation society also values entertainment, celebrity culture, and creative industries.

• Nameless, competing as contestant zero, enters the Arena Universe and faces Sun Xiaosun first.
• Sun Xiaosun summons Wa Wa, a Starry-Sky Giant Frog—an Immortal Beast he created through advanced technology. The creature attacks with its Galaxy Halo and planet-devouring tongue.
• Bobo counters effortlessly using lightning, earth manipulation, and spatial shock waves. The Starry-Sky Giant Frog’s defensive star-ring begins to crack, prompting Sun Xiaosun to surrender.

• Lin Renmei summons Dream Tapir and declares that this will be their hardest battle. She and Dream Tapir have trained extensively and intend to fight seriously.
• Dream Tapir activates its Illusion Formation, creating a realistic pink mist-filled battlefield, hiding itself, and preparing to exploit the moment when Bobo becomes tangible to attack.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Displays confidence and composure, treating the early matches almost casually. His refusal to rest emphasizes his belief in Bobo’s overwhelming strength.
• Bobo: Demonstrates extraordinary power and versatility. Rather than relying on physical force, it combines elemental and spatial abilities to neutralize the Starry-Sky Giant Frog almost instantly.
• Sun Xiaosun: Reveals himself to be realistic and strategic. Although proud of his technologically enhanced pet, he recognizes the strength gap and surrenders before suffering serious damage.
• Lin Renmei: Shows determination and emotional investment. She refuses to hold back because the match represents the result of a year of effort shared with Dream Tapir.
• Dream Tapir: Exhibits strong tactical intelligence, using concealment and illusion rather than direct confrontation. It plans to attack only when Bobo assumes a physical form.

Chapter Summary: “Five Wins”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless’s pet, Bobo—the Wave-Particle Duality Ape—faces Lin Renmei’s Dream Tapir.
• Dream Tapir uses darkness and illusion to conceal itself, but Bobo activates his trump card: he turns all matter black and gains complete control over the battlefield. Because Dream Tapir is an unfamiliar “foreign object” within the altered space, Bobo easily detects and attacks it.
• Dream Tapir is defeated, giving Nameless’s contestant, Huahua, his second victory. Lin Renmei acknowledges the loss, while Nameless praises her for forcing Bobo to reveal a powerful ability.
• Cui Yunyu, whose Nightshadow Dire Wolf specializes in controlling and hiding within shadows, immediately forfeits after realizing Bobo can create numerous suns and eliminate all shadows.
• Dai Bainanfeng also concedes without fighting. His Island Floating Crocodile is too weak to challenge Bobo, and he prefers to preserve his strength for the fight to remain in the top ten.
• Ma Linboqi refuses to surrender and sends out his Heaven-Devouring Black Hound, a cloud-like elemental creature capable of changing size and devouring matter.
• The Black Hound’s attacks cannot affect Bobo. Bobo distorts space-time, immobilizes the creature, and draws surrounding matter into a massive sphere around it.
• Unable to move or hear Ma Linboqi’s commands, the Heaven-Devouring Black Hound is completely suppressed, forcing Ma Linboqi to concede.
• With five consecutive victories, Nameless places immense psychological pressure on the remaining contestants, especially those carrying out family missions who now doubt their ability to succeed.

• Bobo reveals a devastating trump card based on controlling all matter and space, proving that his strength extends beyond raw physical power.
• Lin Renmei accepts defeat calmly and recognizes the difference between her Dream Tapir and Bobo’s abilities. Her battle shows that she is a capable opponent who can force Bobo to use advanced techniques.
• Cui Yunyu and Dai Bainanfeng show pragmatism by forfeiting rather than wasting their pets’ energy in hopeless battles.
• Ma Linboqi initially displays determination and hope that his pet’s devouring ability might counter Bobo, but he is forced to concede after seeing how thoroughly Bobo controls the battlefield.
• The remaining contestants become increasingly anxious as Bobo’s undefeated streak makes their own chances appear bleak.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and strategic adaptability: Bobo wins not only through strength but by altering the environment to neutralize each opponent’s unique abilities.
• Pragmatism versus pride: Several contestants choose surrender when victory is impossible, valuing their long-term prospects over a pointless battle.
• Psychological pressure: Bobo’s effortless victories affect the morale of the entire tournament, making opponents lose confidence before fighting.
• The importance of initiative: The Dream Tapir battle establishes that whoever successfully attacks first may determine the outcome.
• Resource management: Contestants must consider energy, injury, recovery, and the rewards for surviving into the top ten.

Character Interactions

• Nameless encourages Bobo during the fight, while Lin Renmei urgently commands Dream Tapir to retreat into its own dream.
• After the battle, Nameless reassures Lin Renmei that she performed well, and she admits defeat.
• Cui Yunyu explains her decision to concede, and Su Wu formally confirms it.
• Dai Bainanfeng likewise forfeits to preserve his strength, a choice the audience accepts as reasonable.
• Ma Linboqi orders the Heaven-Devouring Black Hound to devour its surroundings, but Nameless explains that Bobo’s distortion of space-time has already severed the creature from its master’s commands.
• Su Wu serves as referee throughout, announcing the victories and acknowledging the growing dominance of Nameless’s side.

Chapter Summary: “Self-Destruction”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Contestant 29, Joia Thanatos, enters the arena with his mechanically transformed pet, the Mechanical Fortress Turtle. Known for its enormous combat strength, the turtle has previously appeared as a massive space fortress.
• Rather than fight, Joia immediately surrenders and makes the unusual request that contestant Huahua—Nameless’s alias—add him as a friend. Nameless refuses, saying he does not make friends during competitions. Joia leaves with exaggerated physical symmetry, reflecting his obsessive personality.
• Contestant 35, Ackerman-Joss, then enters and chooses to compete. He releases the White Spirit, a ghost-like creature whose presence transforms the warm Arena Universe into a cold, gloomy environment.
• Ackerman-Joss orders the White Spirit to use Land of the Dead, spreading black mist and an ominous aura across the arena.
• Nameless counters by ordering Bobo, the Wave-Particle Duality Ape, to use Ten Suns in the Sky. The blazing suns suppress and gradually destroy the White Spirit’s expanding domain.
• Realizing that the White Spirit is being overwhelmed, Ackerman-Joss orders it to use Spirit Explosion, an ultimate undead technique that causes the spirit to self-destruct and attack the opponent on the soul level.
• The White Spirit detonates in the sky, releasing a massive ghostly shockwave. Bobo is temporarily knocked unconscious and loses his physical coherence, but eventually reforms and rises.
• The White Spirit cannot recover because Spirit Explosion consumed all its life force. Ackerman-Joss concedes before the official countdown ends.
• Nameless wins, earning his seventh consecutive victory, though the narrator notes that the next three contestants are extremely powerful and may still threaten his chances of taking first place.

Character Developments

• Nameless/Huahua remains emotionally detached and focused solely on victory. He refuses Joia’s attempt at friendship and responds to Ackerman-Joss’s dangerous tactics with calm, calculated commands.
• Nameless demonstrates extensive knowledge of unusual pets and combat techniques. He recognizes that the White Spirit is likely a specially altered or revived creature rather than a normal living pet.
• Joia Thanatos is characterized by extreme symmetry and obsessive-compulsive behavior. His surrender suggests he is more interested in social or personal connections than in risking a battle.
• Ackerman-Joss appears gloomy, unhealthy, and emotionally disturbed. His willingness to sacrifice the White Spirit through Spirit Explosion reveals a ruthless fighting style and a readiness to rely on destructive undead techniques.
• Bobo shows resilience. Despite being severely affected by the soul-targeting explosion, he eventually reforms and gets back up, securing the victory for Nameless.

Significant Themes

• Self-destruction as a weapon: The chapter centers on Spirit Explosion, an attack that sacrifices the White Spirit to inflict devastating damage. Victory comes at the cost of the creature’s remaining life force.
• Ethical ambiguity in beast-taming: Nameless recognizes that the White Spirit may have been created by killing and transforming a living pet. Although he dislikes the method, he does not moralize during the competition and instead defeats it tactically.
• Control versus sacrifice: Nameless wins through careful management of Bobo’s abilities, while Ackerman-Joss relies on an all-or-nothing attack.
• Appearance reflecting personality: Joia’s perfectly symmetrical body, pet, and movements mirror his obsessive nature, while Ackerman-Joss’s sickly appearance and dark aura reflect his association with death and the undead.
• Endurance and recovery: Bobo’s ability to reform after the explosion emphasizes resilience and the importance of recovering from devastating attacks.

Character Interactions

• Joia and Nameless: Joia politely surrenders and asks to become Nameless’s friend, but Nameless rejects him without hostility. Their brief interaction contrasts Joia’s eccentric friendliness with Nameless’s competitive detachment.
• Ackerman-Joss and Nameless: Their battle is a contest between Ackerman-Joss’s gloomy, self-destructive tactics and Nameless’s calm, strategic countermeasures.
• Nameless and Bobo: Nameless gives Bobo precise orders throughout the fight, first using the ten suns to suppress the Land of the Dead and then warning Bobo to evade Spirit Explosion.
• Ackerman-Joss and the White Spirit: Ackerman-Joss treats the White Spirit as a weapon, ultimately ordering it to sacrifice itself. The creature’s destruction highlights the extreme nature of his fighting methods.
• Su Wu’s role: Su Wu acts as referee and commentator, announcing the contestants, observing the battle, and confirming Nameless’s victory after Ackerman-Joss concedes.

Chapter Summary: “Earthquake”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After Ackerman-Jose leaves the arena, Nameless requests a half-hour break so Bobo can recover from soul damage caused by Spirit Explosion. Although Bobo remains capable of fighting, Nameless wants it restored to peak condition before facing Han Sanzhu’s Mountain Ridge Bear.
• The match resumes with Bobo and Mountain Ridge Bear. Nameless and Bobo follow a cautious strategy: Bobo keeps its distance and attacks from range, refusing to risk being touched by the Bear’s devastating pulverizing ability.
• Mountain Ridge Bear charges relentlessly through Bobo’s attacks, destroying earthen restraints, lightning, and increasingly powerful assaults—including condensed planets, stars, and a black hole.
• Despite its incredible defensive and destructive power, Mountain Ridge Bear cannot close the distance. Bobo’s superior speed, stamina, and wide range of abilities gradually place the Bear at a disadvantage.
• Han Sanzhu argues that neither side can truly harm the other because Mountain Ridge Bear pulverizes every attack before it reaches its body. Nameless counters by identifying the Bear’s weakness: its inability to resist gravity and immobilization.
• Bobo increases the gravitational force around Mountain Ridge Bear, causing it to sink into the ground. As earth buries it and the Bear can no longer move, Han Sanzhu concedes defeat.
• With Han Sanzhu eliminated, only Falkus and Su Lüyuan remain as possible opponents. Both recognize that Bobo’s diverse, godlike abilities make it extremely difficult to defeat.
• Before the next match begins, a powerful earthquake suddenly shakes the area. Nameless requests another half-hour break and investigates the cause through Yuan Mulanzi, learning that the tremors originate underground and have not affected the Great Wilderness Special Zone enough to be stopped.

Character Developments

• Nameless demonstrates patience, strategic thinking, and a willingness to avoid unnecessary risks. Rather than force Bobo into close combat, he relies on distance, endurance, and analysis to win.
• Bobo shows immense versatility and increasing confidence, progressing from quick attacks to massive cosmic techniques. It also proves capable of manipulating gravity and terrain, not merely launching destructive attacks.
• Han Sanzhu remains confident in Mountain Ridge Bear’s strength but eventually recognizes that raw power cannot overcome an unfavorable matchup. His concession shows practical judgment, as continuing would only worsen his defeat.
• Mountain Ridge Bear is portrayed as extraordinarily powerful and nearly invulnerable, yet limited by its lack of effective ranged attacks and poor mobility against Bobo’s strategy.
• Falkus and Su Lüyuan become more serious and apprehensive after witnessing Bobo’s performance, realizing that defeating it may require a similarly exceptional divine pet.

Significant Themes

• Strategy over brute force: Mountain Ridge Bear is stronger in direct combat, but Bobo wins by exploiting distance, speed, stamina, and battlefield control.
• Adaptability and analysis: Nameless studies the Bear’s capabilities and discovers that its true weakness is not physical durability but susceptibility to restraint.
• The limits of overwhelming power: Even an ability capable of pulverizing almost anything is ineffective when its user cannot reach the opponent.
• Pragmatic acceptance of defeat: Han Sanzhu chooses to concede once Mountain Ridge Bear loses the ability to resist, valuing dignity and judgment over futile persistence.
• Unexplained danger: The sudden underground earthquake introduces a new mystery and suggests that events beyond the tournament may soon affect the characters.

Character Interactions

• Nameless coordinates closely with Bobo, using a prearranged strategy and directing it to intensify its attacks and ultimately manipulate gravity.
• Nameless repeatedly urges Han Sanzhu to surrender, while Han Sanzhu insists that the battle remains even until Nameless reveals Mountain Ridge Bear’s vulnerability.
• After the victory, Su Lüyuan and Falkus discuss the difficulty of confronting Bobo, with Falkus expressing anxiety about being eliminated.
• Nameless consults Yuan Mulanzi to determine the source of the earthquake, shifting the chapter from tournament combat toward a potentially larger underground threat.

Chapter Summary: “A Startling Change on the First Floor”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless discovers that the Great Wilderness Special Zone occupies part of the Eternal Silence Prison Tower’s second floor, with two lower floors beneath it. Suspecting another crisis on the first floor, he investigates.
• On the first floor, Sacrificial God has become a grotesque, unstable amalgamation of several prisoners, including Iron Box, Poor Ridge Lady, and Wu Shengce.
• Sacrificial God’s transformation began after he was trapped and started sacrificing prisoners to increase his strength. The prisoners’ strange powers corrupted both his body and mind.
• Wu Shengce’s female head manipulated Sacrificial God through persuasion, causing him to continue devouring prisoners until he lost all sanity.
• Sacrificial God attacks Tyrant Kelt after noticing him outside his cell. Kelt flees while the monster destroys the prison corridors and shatters the Life-Giving Stone.
• The destruction creates cracks through which Corruption from the Eternal Silence Space pours into the first floor. Kelt escapes downward through one of the cracks, but Sacrificial God causes the first-floor ground to collapse into the Bottom.
• The damage spreads upward, separating the Great Wilderness Special Zone from the rest of the prison tower and causing the earthquake previously felt there.
• Nameless releases protective petals to disperse the Corruption and searches the ruined floors for survivors. He finds Kelt contaminated and injured after Kelt cuts off his corrupted arm.
• Nameless rescues Kelt by transporting him to the Great Wilderness Special Zone, but reminds him that he remains a prisoner and must continue serving his sentence.

Character Developments

• Sacrificial God: Changes from a powerful prisoner seeking strength into a completely insane, monstrous entity. His body and personality become an unstable mixture of the prisoners he consumed.
• Tyrant Kelt: Demonstrates fear and desperation as he attempts to survive both Iron Box’s earlier violence and Sacrificial God’s rampage. Despite his usual aggression, he becomes willing to remain imprisoned if it means avoiding further disasters.
• Nameless: Acts calmly and efficiently amid the destruction. His petals prove resistant to Corruption, allowing him to investigate the collapse and rescue Kelt. He remains detached and authoritative, treating Kelt’s rescue as a practical matter rather than an act of mercy.

Significant Themes

• Corruption through uncontrolled power: Sacrificial God’s attempt to strengthen himself through sacrifice ultimately destroys his body, mind, and identity.
• The danger of imprisonment and confinement: The prison’s supposedly controlled environment becomes increasingly unstable, turning both prisoners and their cells into sources of danger.
• Survival amid chaos: Kelt’s escape highlights the prisoners’ vulnerability when the tower’s structure and rules break down.
• Order versus madness: Nameless’s controlled use of his petals contrasts sharply with Sacrificial God’s chaotic transformation and destruction.
• The instability of the prison tower: The physical collapse reflects the deeper breakdown of the prison’s containment system, allowing Corruption to spread between floors.

Character Interactions

• Sacrificial God pursues Kelt after detecting him outside his cell, forcing Kelt into a desperate escape.
• The various personalities and powers within Sacrificial God’s body speak through him, revealing his fractured mental state.
• Nameless finds Kelt through his petals and rescues him from the collapsing, Corrupted lower floors.
• Kelt begs Nameless for help and reports that the other prisoners, including Iron Box and Poor Ridge Lady, have become uncontrollable. Nameless saves him but firmly reinforces the terms of his imprisonment.

Chapter Summary: “The Name of a Thousand Mechanisms”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After hearing Celt’s account, Nameless investigates the prison’s first floor using the Imaginary Flower. He discovers that the prisoners are either dead or irreversibly corrupted, leaving none worth saving.
• Nameless orders Yuan Mulanzi to send Celt to the Prison Universe for permanent reform through labor. However, he leaves open the possibility of reducing Celt’s sentence if Celt proves useful in the future.
• Nameless considers whether the Great Wilderness Special Zone has become an independent, mobile space after severing its connection with the Eternal Silence Prison Tower. He realizes it could potentially function as an invincible mobile fortress, possibly capable of challenging the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, but decides the matter requires careful study.
• Before returning to the tournament, Nameless unknowingly leaves behind a mystery: a white arm emerges from the ruins at the bottom of the prison and drags away the crushed Sacrificial God.
• Back at the arena, Nameless briefly explains the situation to his companions, receives Maria’s encouragement, and resumes his ninth-round match against Falkus.
• Falkus’s Thousand-Mechanism Immortal Jellyfish attacks Bobo with beams of light fired through its tentacles. Bobo’s stardust mantle reflects the beams, severely damaging the jellyfish.
• Nameless orders Bobo to maintain relentless, oversaturated attacks so the jellyfish cannot regenerate. The creature is reduced to a gelatinous core, but the core splits into countless fragments that grow into mushroom-like jellyfish.
• Bobo forms a black hole to devour the multiplying creatures, but the jellyfish remain strangely unaffected. They appear to exist in an unusual state where they interact with their surroundings while remaining partially detached from normal physical effects.
• The jellyfish multiply from millions to hundreds of millions and eventually reach an immense number, gradually filling the Arena Universe and even overwhelming the black hole.
• Nameless begins to understand that the jellyfish’s regeneration and division resemble the biological immortality of an “immortal jellyfish,” though the exact mechanism remains unclear.

Character Developments

• Nameless demonstrates both authority and restraint. He punishes Celt severely but keeps open the possibility of future cooperation, showing that he values usefulness while remaining firmly in control.
• He also reveals strategic maturity by refusing to immediately relocate or transform the Great Wilderness Special Zone into a mobile fortress without first considering the risks to its inhabitants.
• During the battle, Nameless remains analytical and adapts quickly, ordering Bobo to change tactics when ordinary attacks fail. However, the jellyfish’s bizarre ability pushes him into unfamiliar territory.
• Celt attempts to negotiate a lighter punishment, but Nameless gives him no immediate relief.
• Yuan Mulanzi continues to act as Nameless’s obedient enforcer, teleporting Celt away to carry out the sentence.
• Falkus remains calm and confident throughout the battle, suggesting that he understands the hidden ability of the Thousand-Mechanism Immortal Jellyfish and is waiting for it to reach a decisive stage.
• Bobo follows Nameless’s orders effectively, first reflecting attacks and then using a black hole, but finds its abilities limited because it cannot directly manipulate the jellyfish’s internal realm.

Significant Themes

• Authority and conditional mercy: Nameless’s treatment of Celt shows that punishment and mercy are tied to usefulness, loyalty, and future performance.
• Responsibility and caution: The possible transformation of the Great Wilderness Special Zone into a mobile fortress raises questions about power, protection, and the danger of rash decisions affecting countless lives.
• The limits of knowledge: Even Nameless, despite his immense power and command of the Great Wilderness Special Zone, cannot fully understand the jellyfish’s strange existence without violating tournament rules.
• Adaptation and evolution: The jellyfish continually changes in response to Bobo’s attacks, turning apparent defeat into multiplication and demonstrating a terrifying form of biological or conceptual immortality.
• Hidden power and uncertainty: Falkus’s unexplained pet and the mysterious arm that removes the Sacrificial God both introduce forces whose true abilities and intentions remain unknown.

Character Interactions

• Nameless and Celt have a tense relationship: Celt appeals for leniency, but Nameless responds with conditional rather than genuine forgiveness.
• Nameless relies on Yuan Mulanzi to enforce his judgment, reinforcing their lord-and-servant dynamic.
• Nameless reunites with his companions in the rest area, where Maria openly encourages him before the match.
• During the battle, Nameless and Bobo work closely together, with Nameless providing tactical commands and Bobo executing them.
• Falkus and Nameless engage in a strategic contest: Nameless tries to overwhelm the jellyfish before it can recover, while Falkus remains silent and waits for its hidden ability to become decisive.
• Su Wu and the tournament commentators interpret the match for the audience, acknowledging that the jellyfish has temporarily neutralized Bobo’s attacks but has not yet demonstrated its full offensive power.

Summary: “Seeing Through and Victory”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless identifies the mechanism behind Falkes’s Thousand-Mechanism Undying Jellyfish. When near death, it rewinds to an earlier state, splits into countless versions, and simulates possible growth paths. During this process, it becomes temporarily immune to outside attacks.
• Rather than continuing to attack, Nameless orders Bobo to stop and withdraw its black hole. Falkes realizes that Nameless has understood the jellyfish’s weakness and concedes the match.
• Su Wu announces Nameless as the winner, shocking the spectators. Many speculate about why Falkes surrendered, while Maria, Lucifer, and Lin Renmei try to determine what Nameless had perceived.
• During his half-hour rest, Nameless explains that the jellyfish’s “thousand mechanisms” represent countless possible futures. Each split body explores a different possibility until one capable of defeating its opponent appears.
• Lucifer and Nameless conclude that attacking the jellyfish only gives it more opportunities to calculate a winning outcome. By refusing to attack, Nameless forced the ability to continue consuming possibilities without reaching a decisive victory.
• Falkes conceded both because Nameless had neutralized the ability and because he did not want the other competitors to learn its secrets.
• Nameless emphasizes that raw strength was also essential. Because Bobo was overwhelmingly stronger than the jellyfish, the jellyfish could not quickly discover a successful possibility, giving Nameless time to analyze it.
• After recovering, Nameless enters the final battle against Su Luyuan. Su immediately orders the Adamantine Wonder-Gu Mother Empress Bug to create its Adamantine Nest.
• Bobo’s lightning and Light Cannon fail to damage the newly formed nest. Su confidently declares that victory is assured, since the nest is considered invincible and protects the Mother Empress Bug while it sends Gu insects to attack.
• Nameless recognizes that his earlier strategies—destroying the bug before the nest forms or overpowering the nest directly—are difficult because the nest is created almost instantly, even before Su gives the command.

Character Developments

• Nameless demonstrates exceptional observation, strategic thinking, and composure. He defeats Falkes not through greater aggression but by understanding and exploiting the limits of the jellyfish’s ability.
• Falkes proves pragmatic and cautious. Once he realizes his ability has been countered, he immediately concedes rather than expose further information or risk defeat.
• Lucifer contributes an important tactical insight: avoiding action can be more effective than attacking an opponent whose strength grows through the creation of possibilities.
• Lin Renmei reinforces the importance of strength as the foundation of strategy. She understands that intelligence alone would not help if Bobo were unable to withstand the jellyfish’s calculations.
• Su Luyuan enters the final battle with strong confidence in the defensive power of the Adamantine Nest.
• Maria remains curious and impressed by Nameless’s tactical achievement, representing the spectators’ difficulty in understanding the battle.

Significant Themes

• Intelligence versus brute force: Nameless wins by recognizing the rules and limitations of an apparently unbeatable ability rather than overpowering it directly.
• The importance of restraint: Refusing to attack prevents the jellyfish from generating useful possibilities and turns passivity into a winning strategy.
• Strength as the basis of strategy: Cleverness only works when one has enough power to survive while analyzing an opponent.
• Information and secrecy: Falkes concedes partly to prevent the other contestants from learning how his ability works.
• Invulnerability and hidden limitations: Both the Undying Jellyfish and the Adamantine Nest appear unbeatable, but each depends on specific conditions and mechanisms.

Character Interactions

• Nameless commands Bobo to cease attacking, prompting Falkes to recognize that his ability has been exposed and concede.
• Maria questions Lucifer and Lin Renmei about the battle, but neither can initially determine what Nameless saw.
• During the rest period, Maria asks Nameless for an explanation. He describes the jellyfish’s countless possible futures, while Lucifer and Lin Renmei help clarify the strategic implications.
• Nameless and Lin Renmei agree that overwhelming strength gave Bobo enough time for Nameless to think.
• In the final match, Su Luyuan confidently presents the Adamantine Nest as invincible, while Nameless studies its defenses and considers how it might be defeated.

Chapter Summary: Spirit Drug of the Cute God

Key Plot Points and Events

• After their first strategy fails, Nameless and Bobo use their second plan against Su Lüyuan’s Diamond Wonder Gu Mother Empress Insect.
• Since the insect’s nest will produce attacking Gu insects after three minutes, Nameless orders Bobo to use its strongest technique immediately.
• Bobo condenses countless particles into black holes, arranging and compressing them into a gauntlet capable of twisting space and crushing matter.
• Its punch destroys the Diamond Nest. The Arena Universe’s protective barrier activates to shield the battlefield and all nearby beings, including the Diamond Wonder Gu Mother Empress Insect.
• Overwhelmed by the attack, Su Lüyuan surrenders. Huahua—represented by Nameless and Bobo—wins its tenth battle and secures the tournament championship.
• The remaining top-ten contestants continue competing for the other placements. Lin Renmei battles Sun Xiaosun, whose Starry-Sky Giant Frog defeats her Starry-Sky Giant Frog? More accurately, Lin Renmei’s Dream Tapir defeats Sun Xiaosun’s Starry-Sky Giant Frog in two moves, giving Sun his second loss. Sun later defeats Cui Yunyu’s Nightshadow Dire Wolf because of a favorable matchup.
• Nameless grows bored with the slower, more evenly matched battles and leaves the tournament with Maria and Cheng Xuejie. Zhang Shouzhong stays behind to watch and act in Nameless’s place if necessary, while Lin Renmei and Lucifer remain to study the other competitors.
• Back at Wenxin Estate, Nameless gives Bobo the promised “Spirit Drug of the Cute God,” rewarding it for achieving ten victories.
• The candy transforms Bobo back into a small, cute bear, grants immunity to mental attacks, and reduces others’ hostility toward it. Excited to be free from its enormous form, Bobo runs through the estate and destroys several objects, which Nameless calmly restores.

Character Developments

• Nameless demonstrates confidence and strategic flexibility. Although surprised by Su Lüyuan’s hidden strength, he quickly adapts and secures victory. After winning the championship, he reveals his exhaustion and desire to rest.
• Bobo displays immense destructive power and extraordinary particle control, producing a transcendent-level attack. Its return to a small bear form reveals its playful, childlike personality.
• Su Lüyuan begins the match relying heavily on his Diamond Wonder Gu Mother Empress Insect but is psychologically overwhelmed by Bobo’s black-hole attack and ultimately surrenders.
• Lin Renmei remains ambitious and analytical. She congratulates Nameless, aims for second place, and stays to study the remaining contestants’ abilities.
• Sun Xiaosun suffers another defeat but recovers against an opponent his beast counters. His battles are more exhausting and tactical than Nameless’s, forcing him to request frequent rests.
• Maria remains primarily interested in the prize and finds the tournament matches boring. She eagerly returns home to sleep.
• Zhang Shouzhong acts as a dependable substitute and stays behind to monitor the competition.
• Lucifer supports Lin Renmei by helping analyze opponents and possible counterstrategies.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power versus preparation: Careful plans are necessary, but Bobo’s unique bloodline talent and control over particles allow it to surpass conventional techniques.
• The difference between spectacle and strategy: Nameless’s battles end instantly through overwhelming force, while other contestants rely on prolonged, matchup-based combat.
• Rewards and trust: Nameless honors his promise to Bobo, showing their relationship is based not only on command but also on affection and mutual understanding.
• Power beneath a cute appearance: The Spirit Drug returns Bobo to an adorable form while preserving extraordinary abilities and granting powerful defensive effects.
• Rest and ordinary life after victory: After the intensity of the tournament, Nameless and Bobo enjoy a quieter, more playful domestic interlude.

Character Interactions

• Nameless commands Bobo during the decisive battle, and Bobo responds with complete trust and precision.
• Su Lüyuan’s surrender formally ends the match, while Su Wu announces Nameless’s championship.
• Lin Renmei congratulates Nameless and receives his encouragement to pursue second place.
• Nameless gives Zhang Shouzhong permission to remain at the tournament and oversee matters in his absence.
• Lin Renmei and Lucifer cooperate in analyzing the remaining contestants.
• Nameless fulfills his promise to Bobo by giving it the candy, then tolerates its destructive celebration and restores the damaged courtyard.

Character Developments

• Wang Jing: Begins as a confident, virtually invincible Martial Ancestor who believes the Heavenly Tribulation cannot threaten him. His successful ascension confirms his overwhelming strength in the mortal world, but his confidence is shaken after seeing the Immortal Realm’s powerful enemies. He becomes cautious, observant, and aware that he is now a vulnerable newcomer.
• Mortal cultivators: Their admiration for Wang Jing deepens as he effortlessly survives the Heavenly Tribulation. Some traditional cultivators even consider abandoning their original paths to practice immortal martial arts.
• The Immortal Emperor: Introduced not as an all-powerful ruler, but as someone engaged in a desperate battle and apparently losing to Spider Demon Star.

Significant Themes

• Expectation versus reality: The Immortal Realm, imagined by lower-realm cultivators as a paradise, is revealed to be violent, divided, and dangerous.
• Innovation and merit: Wang Jing’s success comes from creating a new martial path despite lacking traditional cultivation talent, emphasizing perseverance and ingenuity over innate aptitude.
• Humility after ascension: His confidence survives the Heavenly Tribulation but is challenged by the realities of the Immortal Realm.

• He witnesses the Immortal Emperor battling Spider Demon Star while the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s forces threaten other immortals.
• Wang Jing’s attempted observation nearly gets him killed when an unseen attacker strikes the gate plaque, forcing him to flee and recognize the danger of his new surroundings.

Chapter Summary: “Mobile Fortress”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Wang Jing, a newly ascended immortal, is attacked by a member of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect at the North Heaven Gate. The attacker views him not as a person with grievances or affiliations, but as mere “livestock” from a world the sect intends to plunder.
• Wang Jing uses evasive movements and trickery to land a punch on the demon cultivator’s face. Although he fails to injure him, the surprise allows Wang Jing to escape. Enraged, the demon pursues him in the form of black lightning.
• Meanwhile, Bitelun of Spider Demon Star battles the Immortal Emperor. Bitelun’s spider venom has already poisoned and gradually weakened the Emperor, while also distorting his perception of reality.
• The Immortal Emperor summons the powerful Sword of Slaying Immortals, a treasured weapon nurtured within the Immortal Court. However, Bitelun manipulates his poisoned senses, causing him to mistake his allies for the enemy. The Emperor first kills the sword immortal Cheng Ying, then his own wife, believing both are Bitelun.
• Driven into rage and near madness, the Immortal Emperor continues attacking wildly while Bitelun and the Ten Thousand Demons Sect disciples watch from safety.
• Outside Mystic Dharma World, a giant spider waits for the invading sect’s forces. A massive city-like structure approaches, revealed to be the transformed Great Wilderness Special Zone. Before the spider can respond, a tiny golden bear effortlessly swallows it.
• Two weeks after the Beast King competition, Nameless has completed negotiations with the Scholar Foundation and other factions. With their funding and technical support, the Great Wilderness Special Zone has become a mobile fortress.
• The fortress prepares to leave Eternal Silence Space and enter the wider world. Nameless’s first target is Bitelun of Spider Demon Star.

2. Character Developments

• Wang Jing demonstrates quick thinking and adaptability despite being vastly weaker than his opponent. He realizes that direct combat is impossible and relies on deception, agility, and retreat.
• The demon cultivator attacking Wang Jing is established as arrogant, ruthless, and humiliated by Wang Jing’s unexpected counterattack. His anger causes him to pursue Wang Jing recklessly.
• Bitelun is revealed as a sadistic and highly manipulative opponent. His spider venom does more than weaken bodies—it alters perception and can eventually control victims like puppets. He views entire worlds as resources to exploit.
• The Immortal Emperor remains resolute in defending the Immortal Court, even while poisoned and losing control of the battle. His devotion to his realm and his emotional ties to his subordinates and wife become weapons Bitelun uses against him.
• Nameless continues shifting from organizer and participant to a major force capable of mobilizing entire factions and transforming the Great Wilderness Special Zone into a strategic weapon.
• The golden bear displays overwhelming, unexplained power by consuming the enormous spider effortlessly.

3. Significant Themes

• Predation and exploitation: The Ten Thousand Demons Sect treats conquered populations as resources and labor, reducing people to “livestock.”
• Deception versus strength: Wang Jing survives through clever movement rather than power, while Bitelun wins by manipulating perception instead of defeating the Immortal Emperor directly.
• The horror of corrupted perception: The Immortal Emperor’s poison-induced illusions force him to kill those he loves, showing how psychological manipulation can be more devastating than physical attacks.
• Hidden strength in isolated worlds: The Sword of Slaying Immortals demonstrates that worlds outside the larger cosmic network may possess powerful cultivators and treasures.
• Collective effort and technological advancement: The Great Wilderness Special Zone becomes a mobile fortress through cooperation, financing, and technical support from numerous organizations.

• Bitelun taunts the Immortal Emperor, confidently comparing him to prey trapped in a spiderweb and encouraging him to reveal his trump card.
• The Immortal Emperor summons the Sword of Slaying Immortals, but Bitelun’s illusions turn the weapon against Cheng Ying and the Emperor’s wife.
• Bitelun and the other demonic cultivators observe the Immortal Emperor’s breakdown rather than confronting him directly.

Chapter Summary: The Gap Between Demon Stars

Key Plot Points and Events

• Bitelun of the Spider Demon Star is established as the most ruthless of the Seven Demon Stars. Though not the greatest killer, he has enslaved more intelligent beings than any of the others and secretly absorbed many of Chen Yidao’s former followers after Chen’s death.
• Bitelun is also suspected of helping incite the plot against the Turtlefolk Clan, though his motives remain unknown.
• At Wenxin Estate, Bobo returns after dealing with a spider-related threat. Nameless scolds it for eating rather than merely handling the creature, but Bobo cheerfully leaves to play.
• In the Wondrous Dharma Immortal Realm, the Immortal Court has fallen under the control of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Their disciples have sealed the immortals’ powers with Immortal-Sealing Talismans and are humiliating and imprisoning them.
• The Immortal Emperor attacks Bitelun’s many projections, but his strength and understanding are insufficient to overcome Bitelun’s strange abilities. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect mocks the Immortal Realm’s “rural” natives for lacking knowledge of the wider worlds’ systems.
• Flower Immortal suddenly appears—or seems to appear—when countless petals descend. The petals effortlessly cut the Ten Thousand Demons Sect disciples in half, contradicting her reputation as the weakest immortal.
• Nameless arrives and restrains the increasingly unstable Immortal Emperor. Bitelun uses a green light to trigger the Emperor’s self-destruction, but Nameless’s Imaginary Flowers contain the explosion and prevent widespread damage.
• Nameless then overwhelms Bitelun. He smashes half of Bitelun’s skull, turns Bitelun’s own Spider-Spear Gun against him, and cuts him in half with a black petal blade.
• Bitelun attempts to surrender and offers information about the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, but Nameless rejects the plea. He reduces Bitelun to a surviving brain and seals it inside a petal.
• The chapter ends from Wang Jing’s perspective as he wonders what Nameless will do with the surviving immortals.

Character Developments

• Nameless is portrayed as vastly superior to Bitelun in both combat ability and mental composure. He defeats Bitelun not through brute force alone, but by exploiting his opponent’s hesitation and overthinking. His attitude remains cold, efficient, and seemingly indifferent to pleas for mercy.
• Bitelun is revealed to be manipulative, calculating, and dependent on prolonged schemes rather than direct strength. His confidence collapses once Nameless exposes the gap between his abilities and those of Chen Yidao. His attempts to surrender show his ruthless pragmatism and fear of death.
• The Immortal Emperor is shown to be powerful but reckless and inexperienced with unfamiliar techniques. His inability to distinguish Bitelun’s true body from his projections leaves him vulnerable, eventually leading him to self-destruct.
• Flower Immortal gains a dramatic, mysterious upgrade in perception. Despite being known as the weakest immortal, her flower-based attack annihilates the Ten Thousand Demons Sect forces almost instantly. The scene suggests that her reputation may be misleading or that Nameless is using her image and techniques in an unexpected way.
• Wang Jing experiences a rapid loss of innocence. His idealized vision of the Immortal Realm is destroyed by invasion, imprisonment, and violence, leaving him confused and anxious about the future.
• Bobo remains carefree and powerful, highlighting the contrast between its innocent behavior and its terrifying ability to consume enormous creatures or even worlds.

Significant Themes

• The gap between reputation and true strength: Flower Immortal’s supposed weakness and Bitelun’s feared reputation are both challenged. Actual power is revealed through action rather than rumor.
• Knowledge versus raw power: The Ten Thousand Demons Sect believes the Immortal Realm’s inhabitants are strong but ignorant. The Immortal Emperor’s failure against Bitelun supports this idea, while Nameless’s mastery of unfamiliar techniques proves the importance of perception and understanding.
• Composure versus overthinking: Bitelun relies on schemes and prolonged battles, but Nameless exploits the pauses created by his calculations. The chapter suggests that excessive cleverness can become a fatal weakness.
• The collapse of idealized worlds: Wang Jing’s dreams of the Immortal Realm are destroyed almost immediately after his ascension, reflecting the harsh reality beneath its beauty.
• Mercy and ruthless justice: Nameless refuses Bitelun’s offer of information and preserves only his brain, emphasizing his merciless treatment of enemies involved in oppression and invasion.
• Hidden identities and deceptive appearances: Bitelun’s projections, Flower Immortal’s unexpected power, and Nameless’s petal techniques all reinforce the uncertainty between what characters appear to be and what they truly are.

Character Interactions

• Nameless and Bobo share a casual, almost domestic exchange that contrasts sharply with the violence elsewhere.
• The Ten Thousand Demons Sect disciples mock the Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Realm’s natives, displaying their arrogance and contempt.
• The Immortal Emperor and Bitelun engage in an uneven confrontation, with the Emperor’s rage and direct attacks proving ineffective against Bitelun’s deceptive methods.
• Nameless restrains and attempts to control the Immortal Emperor, but Bitelun manipulates the Emperor into self-destruction.
• Nameless repeatedly taunts Bitelun for becoming distracted, then uses those lapses to turn Bitelun’s weapon against him and defeat him.
• Wang Jing witnesses Nameless’s intervention and is left uncertain whether his mysterious rescuer is a savior, another threat, or both.

Chapter Summary: “All Demons Vanished Overnight”

• Nameless arrives amid the ruined battlefield of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and releases countless Imaginary Flowers. Their fragrance heals the immortals’ injuries and shatters the Immortal-Sealing Talismans imprisoning them.
• When asked who he is, Nameless modestly calls himself a “warmhearted passerby.” He then disperses into petals, which carry away the corpses of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.
• Wang Jing is deeply affected by Nameless’s overwhelming strength and kindness. He realizes that becoming an immortal is only the beginning and that hope persists as long as figures like Nameless exist.
• Outside the Mystic Dharma World, Nameless removes the world from the Void and places it within Great Wilderness City. He isolates it from the outside world, believing its inhabitants must grow strong enough to leave on their own.
• Sensing a terrifying presence, Nameless prepares for a confrontation at the edge of the Great Wilderness Special Zone. Rama appears and questions Nameless about his path.
• Rama recites the Myriad Demons Scripture, using his Dao aura to turn an otherwise ordinary passage into a powerful demonic influence. Nameless seals his senses and refuses to listen, mocking Rama afterward.
• Rama then unexpectedly abandons the Great Wilderness Special Zone, implying that possessing and ruling over everything may not bring satisfaction. Nameless is left puzzled by his words.
• Days later, the entire Ten Thousand Demons Sect—including its headquarters, disciples, and members hidden in Divine Treasure Space—vanishes without signs of battle or relocation.
• It is revealed that Rama himself destroyed and devoured the sect. He and Luo Jiu travel through the Void, with Rama explaining that the Ten Thousand Demons Sect was merely an expendable experiment.
• Rama believes the sect had become useless because Nameless’s Great Wilderness Special Zone could move and therefore could no longer serve as a passive environment for cultivating powerful demonic beings. Before leaving, Rama left behind the true Myriad Demons Scripture, hoping it might eventually produce worthy opponents or successors to his demonic path.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Demonstrates immense healing, spatial, and protective abilities while remaining humble and playful. He is confident enough to withstand Rama’s psychological and spiritual attacks, but Rama’s sudden withdrawal and destruction of the sect leave him genuinely uncertain.
• Wang Jing: Experiences a major shift in perspective. Nameless’s intervention teaches him humility and inspires hope, showing him that immortality is merely the threshold of a much larger world.
• Rama: Reveals himself as pragmatic, manipulative, and utterly ruthless. He regards the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and its followers as tools or raw material for advancing his demonic cultivation. His true goal is the refinement and continuation of the Myriad Demons Scripture.

• Humility before greater power: Wang Jing learns that even immortals occupy only a small place within the wider cosmos, where stronger beings and higher realms remain beyond them.
• Freedom and self-reliance: By isolating the Mystic Dharma World, Nameless forces its inhabitants to develop independently rather than relying on outside intervention.
• The dangers of power and ambition: Rama’s question about whether ruling everything would bring satisfaction highlights the emptiness of absolute control and the potentially endless nature of ambition.
• Demonic cultivation and sacrifice: Rama treats entire sects and countless lives as disposable resources, emphasizing the ruthless logic of his path.
• Unpredictability and strategic withdrawal: Rather than fight Nameless directly, Rama abandons his existing power base, showing that retreat can be part of a larger strategy.

Important Character Interactions

• Nameless and the rescued immortals: Nameless frees and heals them without seeking recognition, reinforcing his compassionate and mysterious nature.
• Nameless and Wang Jing: Though they do not directly converse at length, Nameless’s actions profoundly influence Wang Jing’s worldview.
• Nameless and Rama: Their exchange is a battle of wills. Rama attempts to probe and influence Nameless through rhetoric and scripture, while Nameless rejects his manipulation with contemptuous humor.
• Rama and Luo Jiu: Luo Jiu questions Rama’s decision to destroy the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Rama explains that the sect was only an experiment and that his true aim is to cultivate or consume beings worthy of advancing the Myriad Demons Scripture.

Chapter Summary: “All-Heavens Council”

Key Plot Points and Events

• A year passes while the various powers investigate the disappearance of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. After confirming that the sect has truly vanished, Gao Shanggong reflects that Rama treated its treasures and influence as worthless.
• Nameless remains in the Great Wilderness Special Zone because Rama’s apparent indifference makes him even more suspicious. He believes Rama must be pursuing something far beyond ordinary ambitions.
• With the Ten Thousand Demons Sect gone, attention shifts to the Eternal Silence Monsters, whose attacks on different worlds are becoming more frequent. Gao Shanggong and Nameless discuss creating a specialized force to deal with them:
  • Weaker monsters will be sealed and transported to Great Wilderness City.
  • Stronger ones will be lured into the Great Wilderness Special Zone, where Nameless can destroy them.
• Gao Shanggong reveals that the Qin Family of Judges intends to establish an All-Heavens Council, modeled after a government, to manage affairs across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
• The Qin Family has nominated Nameless as the council’s first chairman. They believe the previous division among the various powers allowed the Ten Thousand Demons Sect to conquer them individually, and that the sect’s disappearance creates an opportunity to unify the realms.
• Nameless reluctantly accepts the proposal because he trusts the Qin Family’s integrity, but he demands that the Scholar Foundation be incorporated into the new council.
• He threatens to declare the Scholar Foundation an illegal organization if it refuses, forcing Gao Shanggong to agree to persuade the scholars.
• After Gao Shanggong leaves, Nameless studies information about the Eternal Silence Monsters through the Oracle Network. He plans for the council’s first major action to be a decisive campaign against them, believing a successful opening victory will earn the support of the various factions.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Becomes more cautious and suspicious of Rama, recognizing that Rama’s willingness to abandon the Ten Thousand Demons Sect may indicate an incomprehensible objective. Although he dislikes political responsibility, he accepts the need to guide the reconstruction of the realms and intends to control the process efficiently.
• Gao Shanggong: Acts as a practical mediator and supporter of Nameless. He wants Nameless to become chairman because he trusts his strength and judgment, though he knows the role will burden him. He reluctantly accepts the task of bringing the Scholar Foundation into the council.
• Rama: Does not appear directly, but his actions continue to influence events. His contempt for the Ten Thousand Demons Sect makes him seem more dangerous and unpredictable.
• The Qin Family of Judges: Is portrayed as principled, incorruptible, and willing to sacrifice for justice. Their reputation makes Nameless willing to consider the council rather than suspecting it of being a power grab.
• The Scholar Foundation: Becomes a potential institutional ally of the new council, though its forced integration suggests possible resistance and political tension.

Significant Themes

• Unity versus division: The destruction of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect exposes how dangerous it is for the realms to remain fragmented. The council represents an attempt to create lasting unity.
• Power and responsibility: Nameless does not seek authority, but he recognizes that those capable of leading may be forced to shoulder greater burdens.
• Trust and legitimacy: The Qin Family’s reputation allows Nameless to trust the council’s intentions, while the council must earn the confidence of the many factions through decisive action.

• The danger of hidden ambitions: Rama’s unexplained motives remain a source of tension, reminding the characters that the end of one crisis may conceal a greater one.

Important Character Interactions

• They cooperate on a plan to eliminate the Eternal Silence Monsters, with Nameless offering the Great Wilderness Special Zone as a killing ground.
• Gao Shanggong presents the Qin Family’s proposal, while Nameless questions the council’s authority and leadership.
• Nameless teasingly calls Gao Shanggong’s philosophy about capable people bearing burdens back against him when forcing the Scholar Foundation into the council.
• Their exchange highlights both their mutual trust and their contrasting attitudes: Gao Shanggong is willing to guide political change, while Nameless wants to minimize his administrative burden while retaining control over important decisions.

Chapter Summary: “Established”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Three years after earlier developments, the All-Heavens Council is officially established, prompting widespread celebration among its member families and factions. However, some groups remain neutral, watchful, or deeply suspicious.
• The council is organized into three major branches:
  • The Council, led by President Nameless

The All-Heavens Legion

The Enforcement Corps

• The Council includes the Secretariat Group, headed by Aries Palace, as well as delegations representing families, scholars, merchants, rogue cultivators, and other groups.
• Nameless retains final authority and veto power, while the Enforcement Corps implements approved decisions.
• The disappearance of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect has plunged many worlds into disorder and warfare. During the council’s first six months, Nameless works nearly without rest to mediate conflicts and bring unstable worlds under council administration.
• Aries Palace gives Nameless a roster of Eternal Silence Monsters, compiled and ranked by the Scholars’ Delegation, particularly by the monster-obsessed Cheng Yaoyin (“Old Cheng”).
• The most dangerous monster is the Five-Handed World-Rending Monster, a colossal creature capable of entering worlds, shredding their space-time and matter, and consuming the remains. Both the Scholar Foundation and Nameless have repeatedly failed to capture or destroy it.
• Nameless orders the roster to be distributed with large bounties to attract capable cultivators. To prevent weaker cultivators from recklessly pursuing the rewards, he raises the requirement to Level 250 or above.
• The chapter then shifts to a team of bounty hunters led by Baolide, a Level 250 cultivator. They track the Myriad-Tentacled Monster, ranked 394th among the Eternal Silence Monsters.
• When the monster suddenly stops and approaches a strange location in the Void, Baolide and his team cautiously move closer, setting up a mysterious encounter.

Character Developments

• Nameless has fully embraced his role as president. Though he could delegate much of his authority, he deliberately keeps control until the council’s position is secure, fearing that power would be difficult to reclaim once surrendered.
• His governing ideal is revealed: he wants to build a bright, orderly, and just world, rather than merely accumulate power or wealth.
• Aries Palace functions as Nameless’s dependable administrative aide, delivering information and helping manage the council’s immense workload.
• Cheng Yaoyin is characterized as an obsessive scholar and expert on monsters, responsible for creating the danger rankings despite the inconvenience it caused the Scholars’ Delegation.
• Baolide is shown to be practical and adaptable. After failing to conquer an uncontrolled region because his Great God Power was not suited for combat, he found a role as a team leader where his abilities were more useful.

Significant Themes

• Order versus chaos: The council is created to stabilize worlds fractured by the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s disappearance and the resulting wars.
• The burden of leadership: Nameless’s exhausting workload and refusal to relinquish authority emphasize the personal sacrifices required to build a new political order.
• Power and responsibility: The council uses its wealth and influence to organize monster hunts, but also imposes restrictions to prevent greed from causing unnecessary deaths.
• Knowledge as protection: The monster roster and ranking system demonstrate how research and information can help ordinary cultivators understand and confront greater threats.
• Hopeful idealism tempered by vigilance: Although the council’s establishment is celebrated, suspicion remains, and Nameless recognizes that stability has not yet been secured.

Character Interactions

• Nameless and Aries Palace discuss the Eternal Silence Monster roster, its rankings, and the bounty system. Their exchange shows mutual trust and an efficient working relationship.
• Nameless reacts with amusement to the Scholars’ Delegation’s inclusion of Old Cheng’s rankings, while Aries Palace explains the scholar’s obsession.
• Nameless carefully instructs Aries Palace to raise the bounty eligibility requirement, demonstrating his concern for cultivators’ safety.
• Baolide and his teammates discuss whether they are strong enough to defeat the Myriad-Tentacled Monster, comparing themselves to another successful hunting team.
• The team’s confidence is challenged when the monster behaves unexpectedly, ending the chapter on a note of suspense.

Hunting God — Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Myriad-Tentacled Monster undergoes a startling transformation when a strange will enters its body. For the first time, it develops genuine self-awareness and asks, “Who am I?”
• Fragmented memories flood its mind. These memories come from countless beings—humans, beasts, and other lifeforms—and consist almost entirely of pain, fear, and helplessness.
• Overwhelmed by the suffering, the monster curls up and howls. Seeing it apparently weakened, Baolide attacks with a bullet made from Life-Giving Stone, intending to seal it.
• The monster instinctively flees rather than fights, guided by the survival-oriented memories it has absorbed. Baolide and his companions pursue it in their spaceship.
• As it runs, the monster continues hearing fragments of the Myriad Demons Scripture. These demonic Dao remnants had been left behind after Rama’s earlier recitation and were accidentally absorbed by the monster.
• The scripture creates a Demon Soul within the monster, allowing its consciousness to form. The creature gradually realizes that it is both a weak beast and a being of vengeance.
• It gives itself the name Hunting God, transforms its body, regrows its tentacles with red eyes, and declares that it will punish those who oppress the weak and hunt sinful souls.
• It also inexplicably claims the identities of Iron Box and Sacrificial God, suggesting that its newly formed consciousness has absorbed or inherited fragments of other beings’ identities.
• Baolide realizes the monster is far more dangerous than expected. When the spaceship’s Time Engine malfunctions, he and the others abandon the vessel and teleport back to the Great Wilderness Special Zone.
• Left alone, Hunting God suppresses the confusing voices in its mind by reciting the Myriad Demons Scripture. It then senses a target on a distant world and sets out to begin its first hunt.

Character Developments

• The Myriad-Tentacled Monster / Hunting God: Evolves from an instinct-driven Eternal Silence Monster into a self-aware entity with memories, emotion, speech, and purpose. Its identity is unstable, shaped by absorbed suffering, demonic Dao influence, and fragments connected to Iron Box and Sacrificial God.
• Baolide: Initially acts opportunistically, attempting to seal the apparently weakened monster. Once he recognizes its unexpected intelligence and potential strength, he becomes cautious and prioritizes survival over recovering the spaceship.
• The monster’s absorbed identities: The references to Iron Box and Sacrificial God imply that the creature may have incorporated more than memories; it may contain remnants of powerful personalities or concepts.

Significant Themes

• The birth of consciousness: The chapter explores what happens when a being designed without thought suddenly develops self-awareness.
• Identity and memory: Hunting God’s sense of self is constructed from fragmented memories and external influences, leaving it uncertain whether it is one being or an amalgamation of several.
• Pain and vengeance: Because its first memories are composed of suffering and helplessness, Hunting God interprets existence through the lens of victimhood and revenge.
• Nature versus programming: The Eternal Silence Monster was believed to operate mechanically, but the emergence of thought suggests that even seemingly mindless entities may possess the potential for change.
• The danger of misjudgment: Baolide’s assumption that the monster is merely a weak, low-ranked creature proves dangerous when its transformation reveals a much greater threat.

Character Interactions

• Baolide and the monster: Baolide attempts a surprise sealing attack while the monster is distracted by its memories. The monster responds by fleeing, unintentionally convincing Baolide that it is weak.
• Baolide and his crew: Baolide directs the pursuit but later orders an immediate retreat when the spaceship’s Time Engine fails and the monster’s true danger becomes apparent.
• Hunting God and its inner voices: The newly conscious creature struggles with conflicting memories, names, and cries within its mind. It uses the Myriad Demons Scripture to silence the confusion and assert control.
• Hunting God and its future prey: The chapter ends with Hunting God identifying a target and preparing to carry out its first hunt, establishing its new role as a self-proclaimed god of vengeance.

Chapter Summary: “Demonic Taint”

Key Plot Points and Events

• In the Shrub District on Poolball, the weak young swamp man Cheng Jie repairs cracks in his body with ordinary swamp mud after being beaten by classmates at Swamp Academy.
• Cheng Jie’s classmates bully him because he is physically weak and impoverished. Although they claim his mud smells unusually good, they are merely looking for an excuse to torment him.
• Seeing a powerful swamp man pass by, Cheng Jie wishes he could become stronger.
• A mysterious voice tells him that he needs revenge. The enormous white entity God Hunter then appears before him, terrifying Cheng Jie into unconsciousness.
• God Hunter uses countless tentacles to restrain Cheng Jie while the Myriad Demons Scripture begins to speak, strongly implying that Cheng Jie is being recruited, corrupted, or transformed.
• Meanwhile, at the All Heavens and Myriad Realms Council, Aries Palace briefs Chairman Nameless about God Hunter. The creature may be an Eternal Silence Monster, a Sacrificial God, or a hybrid involving an Iron Box, and it may already possess self-awareness.
• The Council is unable to immediately respond because all three All Heavens Legions are occupied: the First Legion is containing powerful Eternal Silence Monsters, the Second is suppressing illegal factions, and the Third is mediating wars between worlds.
• Nameless considers creating a Fourth Legion, but Aries Palace explains that recruiting and training suitable cultivators would be difficult and too slow.
• New intelligence from Commander Eins confirms that God Hunter’s situation is being investigated. Nameless learns that God Hunter is connected to Poolball, a swamp-covered planet inhabited by swamp people.
• Poolball is ruled by the Catfish King clan, which is affiliated with the Council. Nameless remembers the Catfish King as a greedy, food-obsessed figure he once met at a banquet.

Character Developments

• Cheng Jie: His desperation and resentment deepen. Years of poverty and bullying have left him longing for strength and revenge, making him vulnerable to God Hunter’s influence.

• Aries Palace: His respect for Nameless has grown into genuine admiration. He recognizes Nameless’s political skill, persistence, and success in creating laws that balance the interests of both strong and weak factions.

• The burden of leadership: The Council’s lack of manpower demonstrates the enormous difficulty of maintaining order across countless worlds.
• Order versus chaos: Nameless’s efforts to establish fair laws contrast with the growing threat of God Hunter and other Eternal Silence Monsters.

• God Hunter directly addresses Cheng Jie, exploiting his wish for revenge before terrifying and incapacitating him.

• Aries Palace’s reflections reveal his growing respect for Nameless, while Nameless continues to rely on him for intelligence and practical advice.
• Nameless and Aries Palace discuss Poolball’s swamp people and the Catfish King clan, linking the Council’s broader political concerns to Cheng Jie’s personal crisis.

Chapter Summary: Completely Fallen to Demonic Ways

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless and Aries Palace discuss the crisis in Pond Sphere, where the Myriad-Tentacled Monster has been present for an entire day without intervention from the Catfish King.
• Nameless orders an investigation into the Catfish King’s negligence and considers lowering the Catfish Clan’s evaluation if he is found to be abusing authority without fulfilling his responsibilities.
• The two discuss possible candidates to stop the monster: Lin Renmei and Lucifer. However, because neither belongs to the All-Heavens Council, asking them to help raises concerns about payment, favoritism, and Nameless’s impartiality.
• Unable to resolve the issue directly, Nameless agrees to convene a Council meeting so that responsibility for handling the crisis can be shared.
• Meanwhile, Pond Sphere rapidly collapses. Cheng Jie, empowered by Hunting God and the Myriad Demons Scripture, gains overwhelming control over flames and begins slaughtering the Swamp People who once bullied or ignored him.
• Cheng Jie burns his victims into porcelain statues, believing that the world betrayed him and that everyone who tolerated injustice deserves punishment.
• His childhood friend A-Zhen encounters him and unknowingly reveals that she once wore the same bracelet as one of his former tormentors. Cheng Jie kills her as well.
• This final act causes Cheng Jie to evolve completely into a Flame Demon. His body transforms into magma, a volcano erupts from his back, and his demonic energy creates a massive field of destruction across Pond Sphere.
• The Catfish Clan observes the devastation from outside the planet. They initially rely on the Catfish King’s request for aid from the Dragon Clan, particularly through his connection to the Metallic Dragon Clan.
• As Pond Sphere’s continents split apart and its atmosphere buckles, a golden Giant Dragon and the Catfish King finally arrive, giving the Catfish observers hope that the planet can still be saved.

Character Developments

• Nameless remains committed to fairness and institutional responsibility. Although he knows Lin Renmei and Lucifer could resolve the crisis, he refuses to arrange special treatment or privately offer them excessive rewards.
• Aries Palace acts as Nameless’s practical adviser, helping him assess both the political consequences and the tactical needs of the situation.
• Cheng Jie undergoes the chapter’s major transformation. He moves from a powerless victim seeking justice to a ruthless agent of revenge, ultimately abandoning ordinary morality and becoming a Flame Demon.

• A-Zhen serves as a symbol of Cheng Jie’s last connection to his former life. Her death marks his rejection of personal bonds and his complete surrender to demonic ideology.
• The Catfish King appears negligent because of his delayed response, though he eventually seeks outside assistance from the Dragon Clan.

• The seduction of power: His new abilities provide an intoxicating sense of liberation after a lifetime of weakness and humiliation.
• Victimhood and extremism: Hunting God exploits Cheng Jie’s suffering, turning his desire for fairness into indiscriminate destruction.
• Responsibility versus political impartiality: Nameless struggles to act decisively while maintaining fairness and avoiding accusations of favoritism.
• Institutional negligence: The Catfish King’s failure to respond promptly demonstrates the dangers of leaders enjoying authority without fulfilling their duties.

Character Interactions

• Hunting God encourages Cheng Jie, validating his anger and framing mass murder as righteous punishment.
• Cheng Jie confronts A-Zhen about whether his former classmates deserved death, but her connection to his past leads him to kill her rather than seek understanding.
• The Catfish Clan members anxiously observe Pond Sphere’s destruction and rely on the Catfish King and the Dragon Clan for rescue.
