Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Morosa effortlessly defeats and absorbs more than 200 Saint Realm experts, including two at the tenth-origin level, into the independent world inside his body.
• There, the captives lose access to their powers and are killed by liquefied destruction-origin energy. Morosa plans to refine their remaining divine power to grow stronger.
• Morosa gives Luo Feng four captured God King-level supreme treasures. Luo Feng identifies them as Black World Spacetime, the Nine-Pile robe, the Saint Snow Cup, and the Golden Fox Bell.
• Luo Feng discovers the treasures’ owners have life-preserving methods. Holy King Qing Yu and other slain experts soon resurrect, though Qing Yu returns with only a fraction of his divine power.
• News spreads that “Galaxy” (Luo Feng) possesses both a God King-level palace treasure and a powerful World Beast. The Gold Kingdom and Bloodwing Tribe’s God Kings head toward the Floating Sand Sea, while other Saint Realm experts withdraw their true bodies from the region.
• In the You Mountain Empire, Palace Master Lihua despairs over how to take revenge on Luo Feng. She weighs using a costly final method before Morosa becomes fully mature.

Character developments

• Luo Feng remains confident despite making an enemy of the Azure Hill Kingdom. He recognizes that the Star Tower and Morosa’s exposure pose greater risks than the newly acquired treasures.
• Morosa demonstrates overwhelming control of his internal world and begins converting the victims’ power into growth.
• Holy King Qing Yu is forced to resurrect after losing his true body and treasures; weakened and shaken, he urgently seeks his teacher.
• Palace Master Lihua shifts from anger to helpless uncertainty, questioning whether revenge is worth the price of her last trump card.

Character interactions

• The old guardian Uncle Shan witnesses Qing Yu’s resurrection, but Qing Yu refuses to explain and immediately leaves to find his teacher.
• Luo Feng’s growing power indirectly forces rival Saint Realm experts to retreat, while the news of Morosa brings the Gold Kingdom and Bloodwing Tribe into motion.

Significant themes

• World Beasts as absolute domains: Morosa’s inner world operates by independent laws that strip outsiders of their power.
• Power and escalation: Luo Feng’s victory brings valuable spoils but also exposes him to far greater political and personal danger.
• Survival and recovery: Resurrection methods restore key enemies, though not without severe losses.
• Fear and deterrence: Morosa’s presence reshapes the Floating Sand Sea, driving competitors away before any new confrontation occurs.

Key plot points and events

• Shadow God King learns that his disciple, Luo Feng, has enslaved a World Beast King and may be powerful enough to rival an eighth-source Saint Realm expert. Though baffled by Luo Feng’s rapid rise, he sees the news as a major advantage for himself and the You Mountain Empire.
• The chapter explains Lu Shan, a vast and secretive assassination organization, and Space-Time Valley, a dangerous forbidden land whose countless overlapping spacetimes attract explorers and Saint Realm experts.
• Palace Master Lihua, stationed at Space-Time Valley to watch for a Primordial Mountain Token, secretly visits a Lu Shan branch. She is determined to have “Galaxy”—Luo Feng—killed before he can threaten her.
• Lihua demands a guaranteed assassination within one era of reincarnation. After learning that the target possesses a World Beast and a God King-level palace treasure, Lu Shan’s representative warns her that the contract will require an exceptional reward.
• Lihua offers a Primordial Mountain Token—the prize coveted by God Kings—as payment for Galaxy’s death. The reward is so extraordinary that the branch representative says only the tower master can authorize the mission.

Character developments and interactions

• Shadow God King shifts from surprise to hopeful excitement: he speculates about Luo Feng’s origins and recognizes that Luo Feng’s World Beast could eventually become a powerful deterrent.
• Palace Master Lihua reveals the depth of her fear and hatred of Luo Feng. She is willing to sacrifice a priceless token and risk drawing powerful assassins into the conflict to ensure his death.
• Bai He, Lu Shan’s service representative, is shocked by both the target’s capabilities and Lihua’s offer. He remains professional, explains the organization’s requirements, and escalates the contract to his superior.
• The interaction between Lihua and Bai He turns her private vendetta into a potentially continent-wide assassination frenzy.

Significant themes

• Power and uncertainty: Luo Feng’s seemingly impossible rise leaves even powerful figures guessing at its cause.
• Fear as a motive: Lihua’s decision shows how perceived future danger can drive extreme, desperate choices.
• The price of ambition: A Primordial Mountain Token is an almost unimaginable reward, but offering it exposes the scale of the stakes and the risks involved.
• Factional competition: The Origin Continent’s many powers—and Lu Shan’s reach—make personal conflicts capable of escalating into major political events.

Plot points and events

• Palace Master Lihua places a Lu Shan assassination mission on Galaxy, offering a Primordial Mountain Token as the stake. The Tower Master proposes killing the target himself in exchange for the token, but Lihua insists on following Lu Shan’s rules. The Tower Master backs down, and the token is deposited as required.
• The mission identifies Galaxy as Luo Feng: a Second-Origin Saint Realm expert whose strength may reach the Eighth-Source level, accompanied by a World Beast King servant newly at God King strength. He is in the dangerous Floating Sand Sea.
• Lu Shan circulates the bounty to its towers and powerful members. Several God King-level assassins take notice, especially a nearby three-eyed Tower Master, who sees the mission as easy and hopes to enslave Luo Feng and gain the World Beast King.
• The Shadow God King receives the notice and realizes Luo Feng is in immediate danger. Though tempted by the reward, he refuses to betray his former connection to Luo Feng and urgently warns him to flee.
• Luo Feng abandons his attempt to compete for the Floating Sand Fruit and begins teleporting rapidly out of the Floating Sand Sea, disguising his aura as one of his servants. He wonders which enemy arranged the bounty, with Holy King Qing Yu among his leading suspicions.
• The Shadow God King explains that the reward is a Primordial Mountain Token, an exceptionally valuable object tied to the ancient Primordial Mountain. Lu Shan keeps the employer’s identity confidential.

Character developments and interactions

• Palace Master Lihua stands firm under the Tower Master’s pressure, trusting Lu Shan’s rules rather than accepting a private deal.
• The Tower Master tests whether Lihua will surrender the token, then respects the formal process and withdraws.
• The Shadow God King shows loyalty and concern: despite the temptation of the reward, he warns Luo Feng and sends his true body toward the Floating Sand Sea.
• Luo Feng shifts immediately from focused competition to desperate escape. His questions reveal both his uncertainty about the bounty’s source and his unfamiliarity with the token’s significance.
• The three-eyed assassin is driven by ambition, viewing Luo Feng and the World Beast King as a path to power.

Significant themes

• Rules and trust: Lu Shan’s reputation and procedures constrain even powerful figures.
• Loyalty versus greed: The Shadow God King resists a bounty that tempts him, while other assassins see it as an opportunity.
• Power and vulnerability: Luo Feng’s potential strength offers little protection while he is weakened and facing God Kings.
• Secrecy and escalating danger: The employer remains unknown, while the extraordinary reward draws multiple powerful hunters toward Luo Feng.

Plot and key events

• Luo Feng, puzzled by the unknown Primordial Mountain and the bounty on his life, flees the Floating Sand Sea rather than risk staying for the Floating Sand Fruit.
• God King Kaishen Si and Snake Shadow King arrive and begin systematically searching the area. More God Kings soon join them, hoping to seize Luo Feng, the World Beast King, and the Primordial Mountain Token.
• Luo Feng senses a God King’s spatial lockdown and divine probing but escapes detection. Disguised as one of his fourth-source servants, he uses his Formless and Faceless ability and extraordinary genes to make his aura appear genuine.
• After half a day, he leaves the Floating Sand Sea. He then travels for months, putting over ten billion light-years between himself and the danger.
• Recalling his teacher’s warning not to return to the You Mountain Empire—and to beware of God King Tong Yuan—Luo Feng considers where to go next. He decides to travel to the Sea of Loss, a region in the Star Sand River that greatly accelerates comprehension of the time origin. He hopes his connection to the Star Spirit Race through the Time Heart may bring him good fortune.
• The God Kings search the Floating Sand Sea without finding him. Some suspect he is hidden inside the World Beast’s internal world, while others argue that finding the World Beast is the only way to locate him. Purple Gold God King and Bloodwing Tribe God Kings also arrive, seeking the even more valuable origin supreme treasure.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng shows strong caution and self-control: he gives up a valuable opportunity rather than endanger his life, and turns his attention toward growth and a new destination.
• Kaishen Si and Snake Shadow King recognize each other as rivals and compete to find Luo Feng, each confident in his own chances.
• Luo Feng’s teacher influences his plans through warnings about the bounty and God King Tong Yuan, though he does not appear directly.
• The searching God Kings’ shared greed creates a tense contest, while their uncertainty about the World Beast leaves them unable to pursue Luo Feng effectively.

Significant themes

• Survival over reward: Luo Feng willingly abandons the Floating Sand Fruit when the danger becomes too great.
• Concealment and perception: His disguise protects him from powerful pursuers, showing how identity and aura can be manipulated.
• Ambition and greed: The promise of a World Beast King, Primordial Mountain Token, and origin supreme treasure draws numerous God Kings into the hunt.
• Growth through peril: Luo Feng chooses a dangerous but valuable region to advance his understanding of the time origin.

Key events

• Luo Feng travels toward the Sea of Loss aboard Tuo’osen’s powerful Mechanical Flow spaceship, keeping hidden while others search for him in the Floating Sand Sea.
• During the long journey, Morosa absorbs the resources from more than two hundred Saint Realms. His strength rises to that of a fully powered High God King, approaching the Peak God King level. Luo Feng is reassured about protection from Lu Shan, though he remains cautious about facing groups of enemies.
• Luo Feng reaches the Star Sand River, an immense celestial river filled with star systems and rare treasures. It is also perilous: Spatial Quicksand can destroy even powerful beings, and unstable space makes long-distance teleportation dangerous.
• The Star Spirit Race, native to the river, has been driven from much of its territory by invading races. It now treats outsiders as enemies, while outsiders hunt its members for their Time Hearts and Space Hearts.
• En route to the Lost Continent, Morosa detects two Ninth-Origin Saint Realms fighting over an item. Luo Feng and Morosa intervene, and Morosa demands the treasure.
• One combatant gives them a golden seal: the Firmament Palace Token. Luo Feng is surprised by its name.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng grows more confident in Morosa’s increased power but stays prudent, avoiding unnecessary exposure and recognizing that even a peak World Beast cannot defeat a crowd or guarantee safety.
• Morosa demonstrates his greatly enhanced strength by detecting a battle from far away, resisting the opponents’ spatial suppression, and intimidating them into surrendering the token.
• The two rival Saint Realms cautiously assess Luo Feng and Morosa. The tiger-headed fighter chooses to yield rather than risk combat.

Significant themes

• Power and deterrence: Morosa’s growth shifts Luo Feng’s sense of security, but powerful enemies and higher forces still limit what strength can guarantee.
• Conflict over resources: The Star Spirit Race’s persecution and the outsiders’ pursuit of its hearts show how competition for territory and treasure fuels enduring hatred.
• Beauty amid danger: The Star Sand River is breathtaking, yet its unstable space and lethal Spatial Quicksand make it as treacherous as it is wondrous.
• Chance and opportunity: A brief detour into a treasure dispute unexpectedly brings Luo Feng the mysterious Firmament Palace Token.

Key plot points and events

• Luo Feng and Morosa obtain a Firmament Palace Token after defeating two Saints in the Star Sand River. Luo Feng lets them go once the token is confirmed genuine.
• The token grants access to Firmament Palace, an ancient trial ground created by Firmament to cultivate powerful beings below the Saint Realm. Luo Feng considers the Star Sand River a fortunate place and continues toward the Lost Continent.
• After fending off one more attempted robbery, they reach the Lost Continent and see the vast, colorful Sea of Loss. Luo Feng notices that time flows unevenly in the surrounding region.
• Luo Feng explains that the Star Sand River also contains the dangerous Space Cube, where space is distorted and layered.
• The pair arrive at Time City, headquarters of the powerful Time Dam faction. Luo Feng’s main goal is to attend its auction, where an Advanced Time Heart may be available; he also hopes to find other rare treasures.
• Impressed by the city’s diversity and lively commerce, Luo Feng suggests they explore its food, wine, and customs before continuing their plans.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng shows confidence and restraint: he accepts the harsh law of the strong, but chooses to spare the defeated Saints. He is also curious and open to enjoying the city rather than focusing only on cultivation.
• Morosa remains loyal and observant. He helps deter attackers, shares Luo Feng’s fascination with the Sea of Loss, and eagerly welcomes the chance to experience Time City.
• Luo Feng and Morosa share their observations and excitement throughout the journey, with Luo Feng explaining the region’s dangers and history to his companion.

Significant themes

• Power and mercy: strength governs survival, yet Luo Feng’s decision to spare his opponents shows that power can also be exercised with restraint.
• Cultivation and opportunity: rare items such as Firmament Palace Tokens and Time Hearts can shape a cultivator’s growth.
• Wonder and discovery: the Sea of Loss and Time City offer beauty and cultural variety beyond combat and advancement.
• A life beyond cultivation: Luo Feng recognizes that exploration, commerce, and leisure can enrich the lives of long-lived beings and may themselves offer insight.

Key events

• After months of travel, Luo Feng feels relaxed now that the pressure of Lu Shan’s assassination mission has lifted. He turns his attention to Time City’s upcoming major auction, which will offer either a Time Heart or a Space Heart.
• He settles in the city, secures a seat, and consigns some of his treasures for sale despite the auction house’s steep ten-percent fee.
• At the auction, attended by vast numbers of Eternal True Gods and Saint Realm experts, Luo Feng takes his assigned private box. No God King bidders appear to be present.
• Auctioneer Qing Ning unveils the first finale treasure: a living, Saint-level God-Devouring Bee Hive. Its bees are said to be second only to World Beasts, and more than a hundred God Kings have died to them. The revelation sparks intense interest among wealthy bidders.
• The second finale treasure is a drop of diluted Golden Crow Blood. Though the Golden Crows were wiped out in ancient times, their remains are extraordinarily rare. The blood can greatly strengthen the body and dramatically aid comprehension of the Fire Origin, making it highly coveted.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng is calm and satisfied after his travels, but remains focused on obtaining an Advanced Time Heart. He watches the auction with curiosity and is startled by the power of the bee hive and Golden Crow Blood.
• Morosa shares Luo Feng’s initial confusion about the hive; Luo Feng reflects that he might have wanted it if he did not already have Morosa.
• Qing Ning’s beauty and commanding presentation captivate the audience, and her dramatic descriptions quickly redirect bidders’ priorities.
• Several bidders become consumed by the prospect of owning the hive. One ambitious young royal insists on pursuing it despite an older adviser’s warning that raising its bees to God King strength is nearly impossible.
• Golden Crow Blood likewise triggers fierce competition, especially among experts who need the Fire Origin to advance.

Significant themes

• Power and ambition: The hive and Golden Crow Blood tempt bidders with the promise of security, strength, and advancement.
• Rarity and historical loss: The extermination of the Golden Crows makes their surviving remains priceless, while the hive’s deadly reputation gives it legendary status.
• The cost of desire: The bidders’ eagerness—and the adviser’s caution—suggest that extraordinary power may demand enormous resources and carry serious risks.

Plot points and events

• Luo Feng learns that the diluted Golden Crow Blood can greatly strengthen the body and improve affinity with the Fire Origin. Though he wants it, he expects it to be extremely expensive.
• The auction opens with Mechanical Flow Treasures aimed mainly at Eternal and Void True Gods. Luo Feng does not bid, as these lots are of little use to him.
• At the hundredth lot, a Saliva Gold Lotus is offered. Its duplicate-body ability and potential to save its owner drive the price to 5.1 million Qiankun Units.
• Luo Feng’s consigned treasures sell well: the Jade Marrow Pearl brings 8.52 million, and three other Saint-level Peak Supreme Treasures sell for similar amounts. After fees, he expects 30.465 million Qiankun Units.
• A mid-grade Time Heart appears, but Luo Feng passes on it. After more than half a month and hundreds of thousands of lots, the auction reaches its final ten highlights.
• An Advanced Time Heart—the main reason Luo Feng came to the Lost Continent—goes up for sale. Luo Feng bids aggressively, first six million, then 9.2 million, and finally eleven million Qiankun Units. The chapter ends while bidding continues.

Character developments

• Luo Feng is patient and strategic: he waits through lots he does not need, sells surplus treasures to fund his goals, and focuses on acquiring an Advanced Time Heart. He also remains interested in the Golden Crow Blood.
• Morosa watches the early bidding with Luo Feng and comments on the rising prices.
• The young human-like bidder, accompanied by an elder called Third Uncle, is determined to obtain both the God-Eating Bee and Golden Crow Blood. He deliberately forgoes the Advanced Time Heart.

Significant themes

• The value of survival and strength: treasures are prized for their power, their ability to protect their owners, or their potential to advance cultivation.
• Wealth and strategic sacrifice: Luo Feng sells treasures he does not need to finance the rare item he seeks.
• Competition and desire: even highly wealthy bidders face choices between coveted treasures, and prices climb as their goals clash.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng and Morosa discuss how Mechanical Flow Treasures will sell for enormous sums, while recognizing they are not relevant to Luo Feng.
• Qing Ning guides the auction, explaining each lot and building anticipation for the final highlights.
• Third Uncle questions the young noble’s decision to pass on the Advanced Time Heart; the young man explains that the God-Eating Bee and Golden Crow Blood take priority, and Third Uncle accepts his choice.

Chapter Summary: “The Bidding”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Luo Feng wins an Advanced Time Heart after aggressively raising the bid to 13.5 million Qiankun Units. His determination convinces the competing bidder to stop.
• An Advanced Space Heart is auctioned next. Although it also reaches a final price of 13.2 million Qiankun Units, Luo Feng does not bid because refining both Hearts would be ineffective: the Time Heart and Space Heart repel each other, reducing the second Heart’s effect to only one-tenth.
• The auction proceeds through several highly valuable treasures, which tempt Luo Feng but fail to distract him from his main goal: obtaining Golden Crow Blood.
• A Token granting access to Ma Sanduo’s Saint King Tomb appears. The tomb supposedly contains enormous wealth, including three God King-level treasures. The Token sells for 14.1 million Qiankun Units, driven by the possibility of obtaining treasures despite the tomb’s extreme danger.
• The God-Devouring Bee Hive becomes the next major auction item. Its price rapidly surpasses twenty million Qiankun Units and ultimately reaches 38 million Qiankun Units.
• A young master in private room 14253 insists on winning the God-Devouring Bee Hive despite his Servant’s warnings that the price is excessive. He succeeds, believing the Bee could make him invincible below the God King level.
• The final and most anticipated item is a drop of Golden Crow Blood. Its appearance excites nearly every Saint Realm present, including Luo Feng, who is determined to obtain it.

Character Developments

• Luo Feng demonstrates decisiveness and financial strength by securing the Advanced Time Heart, while also showing restraint by refusing to bid on the Advanced Space Heart.
• His understanding of the interaction between the two Hearts reveals his strategic judgment: he prioritizes genuine usefulness over collecting powerful treasures indiscriminately.
• Luo Feng’s desire for Golden Crow Blood becomes increasingly central. He recognizes its potential to improve his strength and help him comprehend the Fire Origin.
• Morosa reacts with surprise to the reckless bidding surrounding the tomb Token and God-Devouring Bee.
• The unnamed young master is shown to be ambitious, prideful, and willing to disregard expert advice. His fixation on becoming invincible drives him to spend far beyond the recommended value.
• The young master’s old Servant acts as a voice of caution, warning that developing the God-Devouring Bee to the God King level would require an enormous additional investment.

Significant Themes

• Greed and opportunity: The auction reveals how the possibility of obtaining God King-level power or treasures causes even powerful Saint Realms to bid irrationally.
• Power versus cost: Several treasures offer extraordinary potential, but their true value depends on the resources required to use or develop them.
• Strategic restraint: Luo Feng contrasts with many bidders by knowing when not to compete, particularly over the Advanced Space Heart and other tempting items.
• Risk and reward: Ma Sanduo’s tomb and the God-Devouring Bee both promise immense gains while carrying severe dangers or uncertain future costs.
• Pursuit of advancement: Nearly every major bidder seeks greater strength, breakthroughs, or a path toward God King-level power.

Character Interactions

• Luo Feng’s bidding exchange with the anonymous competitor over the Advanced Time Heart is brief but intense; his confident declaration that he will win causes the rival to withdraw.
• Luo Feng and Morosa discuss the astonishing bids, with Morosa expressing disbelief and Luo Feng explaining why the treasures inspire such madness.
• The young master and his old Servant argue indirectly over the God-Devouring Bee: the Servant emphasizes its poor cost-effectiveness, while the young master prioritizes the prestige and combat power it may bring.
• Luo Feng observes the ambitions of the other Saint Realms while privately comparing the potential of Golden Crows with that of World Beasts.

Key plot points and events

• A diluted drop of golden crow blood becomes the auction’s final and most fiercely contested item. Its price climbs past 100 million Qiankun Units, a record for Time City, before a young man in private room 14253 wins it for 112 million.
• The winning bidder has his mother’s backing; his old attendant says God King-level experts understand the blood’s true uses and that his mistress ordered them to secure it at any cost.
• The auction, which has lasted nearly a month, concludes. Luo Feng receives the Time Heart he purchased, inspects its exceptionally intricate time-based patterns, and pays, leaving him with 20.65 million Qiankun Units.
• Expecting rivals to target the golden crow blood’s owner, Luo Feng and Morosa plan to follow the would-be attackers and wait for an opportunity. Luo Feng reasons that the winner is unlikely to refine the blood in Time City and that the city’s God Kings may overlook limited fighting.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng watches the bidding but declines to compete once the price becomes too high. He secures the Time Heart and shifts his attention to the likely conflict over the golden crow blood, treating it as a chance to observe events from the sidelines.
• Morosa eagerly suggests intervening and later questions whether the expected confrontation will happen. He echoes Luo Feng’s strategy with the proverb about the mantis and the oriole, prompting Luo Feng to tease him about learning Earth sayings.
• The young winning bidder is determined to obtain the blood and keeps bidding despite the extraordinary cost, supported by his attendant and his mother’s resources. His victory may leave him exposed to challengers.
• The other two final bidders—the black-clad Tenth-Origin Saint Realm expert and the Savage Bull Tribe expert—eventually withdraw. The black-clad bidder hints ominously that taking the blood away from the Lost Continent may be difficult.

Significant themes

• Power and wealth attract danger: Possessing a prized treasure can invite attacks, and wealth alone may not ensure safe ownership.
• Hidden value and unequal knowledge: The golden crow blood’s worth is understood most fully by God King-level figures, making the auction’s extreme bidding part of a larger struggle over knowledge and power.
• Patience and opportunism: Rather than risk his own fortune, Luo Feng plans to let others fight first and watch for an opening.

Summary: “On the Brink”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After the auction in Time City, numerous Saint Realm experts remain behind, all secretly waiting to seize the Golden Crow Blood from the human who won it.
• Kui Jun, an eighth-origin Saint Realm young master, and his servant, True Master Yan San, stay in an upscale restaurant for ten years. During this time, Kui Jun successfully enslaves the dormant God-Eating Bee Emperor and prepares to restore its strength, gaining access to powerful Bee Soldiers.
• When Kui Jun and Yan San finally leave the Lost Continent, the waiting experts pursue them. The surrounding space is sealed, preventing teleportation.
• Luo Feng and Morosa also follow from a distance, intending to observe or intervene. Morosa assures Luo Feng that, despite concealing his World Beast identity, he can suppress and defeat even tenth-origin Saint Realm experts by disguising his World Beast Projection as a God King-level projection.
• After traveling ten million light-years from the Lost Continent, seven or more Saint Realm experts attack Kui Jun’s spaceship. They combine multiple Chaos Domains and a powerful rain domain to suppress the pair.
• Yan San reveals the God King-level Domain Supreme Treasure, the Golden Wave Disk, which once belonged to the human God King Kuipo. It gives him and Kui Jun some relief but does not eliminate their predicament.
• Kui Jun recognizes that they may be unable to escape unless they kill their attackers. He becomes openly ruthless and considers using the powerful methods bestowed upon him by his master.
• Yan San exchanges taunts and introductions with the attackers, including Demon Child, Falling Leaf Blade, Asmaer of the Savage Bull Tribe, Saint King Dishi, Gu Tuojiang, Di Wensi, Ruomo, and the newly arrived Saint Kings Di and Dianmo.
• Yan San notices Luo Feng and Morosa approaching and realizes that the two disguised figures may also be involved. The chapter ends with him viewing them as another potential threat.

Character Developments

• Kui Jun: Demonstrates strong spiritual ability by enslaving the God-Eating Bee Emperor. His calm confidence turns into lethal determination once surrounded, revealing a ruthless willingness to annihilate everyone targeting him.
• True Master Yan San: Remains composed and confident despite being heavily outnumbered. His status and experience become clear through his mastery of the Golden Wave Disk, his sharp verbal provocations, and his familiarity with many ancient experts.
• Luo Feng: Acts cautiously, following the conflict from a distance rather than immediately revealing himself. He carefully assesses Morosa’s ability to handle the pursuing experts.
• Morosa: Reveals that his current strength is effectively God King-level. He can conceal his World Beast nature and use a disguised projection to crush powerful Saint Realm opponents.
• The pursuing Saint Realm experts: Their patience and greed are emphasized. They form an uneasy coalition to pursue the Golden Crow Blood, despite differences in strength and history.

Significant Themes

• Greed and competition: The Golden Crow Blood is valuable enough to keep numerous ancient experts waiting for ten years and risking a confrontation.
• Power and hidden strength: Characters conceal their true abilities, treasures, identities, and intentions. The apparent balance of power changes with every revealed technique or artifact.
• Patience and calculation: The experts treat ten years as a minor delay, showing the vast timescales and strategic mindset of the Saint Realm.
• Inheritance and protection: Kui Jun’s powerful resources and Yan San’s use of the Golden Wave Disk reflect the protection and advantages granted by God King-level backers.
• Pride and reputation: The antagonists introduce themselves and invoke their past achievements, while Yan San uses insults and historical knowledge to challenge their authority.
• The danger of overconfidence: Both sides believe they possess enough strength to survive or dominate the confrontation, setting up an uncertain battle.

Character Interactions

• Kui Jun consults Yan San about the threat of an ambush, while Yan San reassures him and advises him to control the God-Eating Bees.
• Luo Feng and Morosa discuss Morosa’s ability to fight without exposing his World Beast identity.
• Yan San and Demon Child trade sarcastic insults over their age, reputations, and lack of advancement.
• Yan San challenges the gathered experts to identify themselves, prompting formal introductions from the various alien Saint Realm figures.
• Several ancient experts reveal past connections to God King Kuipo and Yan San, adding personal history to the impending conflict.
• Yan San finally notices Luo Feng and Morosa, suggesting that the confrontation is about to become even more complicated.

Plot points and events

• Luo Feng and Morosa stay outside the fight, observing from ten thousand light-years away. Though Yan San’s domain reaches them, they decide to wait and claim the spoils later.
• Several Saint Realm experts attack True Master Yan San for his God King-level domain treasure and the Golden Crow Blood. Two weaker fighters are tasked with holding Kui Jun back.
• Yan San opens an umbrella that unfolds into a spatial formation. Its folded, overlapping layers let him move freely and keep his enemies separated, preventing them from attacking him all at once.
• Yan San tests his three-strike saber technique—Cleave, Void, and Decisive—against Falling Leaf Blade. Falling Leaf Blade defends skillfully but is badly outmatched by the final strike, which destroys four percent of his divine body.
• Yan San then attacks Demon Child, whose powerful armor withstands the blows. Demon Child counters with three massive claws; Yan San dodges by shifting away, and the attack unexpectedly hits Gu Tuojiang, badly damaging him.
• Yan San’s spatial tricks also redirect an attack toward Asmaer, whose defenses prove exceptionally strong. The assembled experts realize they are being manipulated by the formation, while Yan San prepares to press his advantage.

Character developments and interactions

• Luo Feng and Morosa remain patient and calculating, choosing to let the others weaken one another before intervening.
• True Master Yan San reveals both overwhelming saber skill and tactical cunning. He uses the formation not just to evade attacks but to redirect opponents into danger.
• Falling Leaf Blade meets Yan San confidently and demonstrates formidable defensive technique, but the encounter forces him to recognize the depth of Yan San’s fused origin mysteries.
• Demon Child shows confidence in his own strength and uses the chaos to avoid responsibility for striking Gu Tuojiang.
• Gu Tuojiang is enraged after being caught in Demon Child’s attack; Asmaer stands out for enduring a redirected blow that could threaten others.

Significant themes

• Strategy versus strength: Yan San’s formation lets him control a battle against many opponents, making positioning and timing as important as raw power.
• Mastery and limits: Yan San’s saber technique is formidable, but the formation consumes divine power, suggesting that his advantage may not last indefinitely.
• Self-interest and shifting alliances: The attackers cooperate only to seize the treasure, while their actions quickly endanger one another.
• Patience and opportunism: Luo Feng and Morosa exemplify the value of waiting for the right moment rather than rushing into a dangerous contest.

Key plot points and events

• Kui Jun is struggling to defeat the Three-Handed Race’s Di Wensi and Ruomo, even with True Master Yan San’s Spatial Formation and the God-Eating Bee soldiers. Yan San tells Kui Jun that his mother has arrived.
• Kui Jun uses a Realm Stone to summon a Mirror-Image Divine Body of God King Kuipo. Though it has only a fraction of her true body’s power, Kuipo’s mastery of the Spatial Origin lets her overwhelm Saint Realm opponents.
• Kuipo kills Di Wensi and Ruomo, then hunts down and destroys Falling Leaf Blade and three more Saint Realm experts.
• Demon Child recognizes Kuipo and tries to escape by switching places with a Saliva Golden Lotus Clone. His clone is destroyed, but the exchange saves his true body. He vows revenge on Kui Jun.
• Kuipo also kills Gu Tuojiang and Asmaer. Of the nine Saint Realm intruders, Demon Child alone escapes.
• With the Spatial Formation gone, Luo Feng and Morosa see Kuipo. She notices them and threatens them as well.

Character developments and interactions

• Kui Jun relies on his mother to settle the battle and watches her power with admiration, longing to attain comparable mastery.
• God King Kuipo is fiercely protective of Kui Jun and treats the intruders as easy prey. Her reunion with Demon Child reveals they are old acquaintances, though now enemies.
• Demon Child shows caution and resourcefulness: he sacrifices a clone rather than risk his true body. Kuipo views this prudence as a barrier to his reaching God King level.
• Luo Feng and Morosa remain distant observers until Kuipo detects them, placing them in immediate danger.

Significant themes

• Overwhelming power and hierarchy: Even elite Saint Realm fighters are helpless against a God King’s command of the Origin.
• Survival through preparation: Demon Child’s spare clone saves him, though at a cost.
• Family loyalty and ambition: Kuipo’s intervention protects her son, while Kui Jun’s reaction reveals his desire to match her strength.

Plot points and events

• God King Kuipo arrives near Luo Feng and Morosa despite Space Lockdown, using her mastery of the space origin to teleport. She recognizes Morosa as a powerful, possibly God King-level figure and demands the Golden Crow Blood.
• Luo Feng refuses to be intimidated and warns her to hand it over. Kuipo chooses to flee rather than risk her mirror-image body being destroyed. Morosa explains that her command of space lets her escape hundreds of millions of light-years away, making pursuit impossible.
• Away from the Star Sand River, Kuipo privately vows revenge if she meets Morosa again. She then focuses on Kui Jun’s advancement: she plans to take him to the Flame Cave to refine three drops of diluted Golden Crow Blood and improve his affinity for the fire origin. She also judges that his ancient eighth-origin God-Eating Bee is unlikely to reach God King level, though it may attain the tenth-origin saint realm.
• Back in Time City, Luo Feng refines an Advanced Time Heart. The process deepens his perception of time lines and lets him directly speed up or slow down time around himself. He resolves to study the time origin in the Sea of Loss, aiming for major mastery before the reincarnation era ends, then challenge the Firmament Palace.

Character development and interactions

• Luo Feng gains confidence and a much deeper practical connection to time, but also recognizes how formidable God Kings are—even through an avatar. His exchange with Kuipo shows he is willing to stand his ground when protected by Morosa.
• Morosa serves as Luo Feng’s shield and explains both Kuipo’s escape and the limits of pursuing her.
• God King Kuipo proves cautious rather than prideful when threatened, then turns her attention to nurturing Kui Jun.
• Kui Jun is pleased by his mother’s plan to help him master the fire origin, though disappointed that his God-Eating Bee is unlikely to become a God King.

Significant themes

• Power and caution: Even an immensely powerful God King may retreat when the risk is too high.
• Origins, inheritance, and cultivation: Special treasures such as the Golden Crow Blood and Time Heart can accelerate understanding of fundamental powers.
• Ambition and preparation: Luo Feng uses his new time-sensing ability to plan his next stage of cultivation and pursue the Firmament Palace challenge.
  The chapter ends with an author’s note asking readers for votes, comments, and recommendations, and thanking supporters.

Plot points and events

• After merging with two Time Hearts, Luo Feng takes Morosa to the Sea of Loss to study the Time Origin. They travel beyond the Lost Continent and avoid the sea’s greatest hazards by staying away from its center.
• The Sea’s varied colors reflect different rates of time, and Luo Feng can sense the deeper fluctuations of the Time Origin there—not merely the outward Time Law.
• He settles on a planet where time flows a thousand times faster than outside and asks Morosa to shield the area from spiritual-sense probing while he meditates.
• Luo Feng studies the Time Origin by tracing its intricate secret patterns. His multiple clones work on the same task across different locations.
• After hundreds of millions of eras, he reaches the first stage of mastery and progresses toward greater mastery. Having mastered 4,930 of the 10,080 fundamental mysteries needed across the paths of temporal speed and slowness, he decides to move somewhere time flows faster.

Character development

• Luo Feng becomes deeply attuned to time after merging with the Time Hearts. His understanding advances from the visible Time Law toward the underlying mystery of the Time Origin, and his confidence and patience are evident in his immense, disciplined effort.
• Morosa serves as Luo Feng’s guardian, establishing a protective barrier so he can study without disturbance.

Significant themes

• Appearance versus reality: The Time Law is only the outward expression of the deeper Time Origin; cultivation means progressing from appearance to underlying truth.
• Knowledge through patient practice: Luo Feng makes progress through relentless observation and repeated pattern-tracing.
• The nature of time: Speed and slowness are complementary paths, whose extremes include teleportation, eternity, Time Stop, and time reversal.
• Different cosmic rules: The Primal Universe grants certain beings special temporal abilities, while on the Origin Continent such feats require profound mastery of the Time Origin.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng and Morosa cooperate practically: Luo Feng concentrates on enlightenment while Morosa protects the surrounding starfield.
• Luo Feng takes care not to intrude on other cultivators, using a barrier out of respect for their privacy—even though he believes no one in the Sea of Loss could threaten him.

Key plot points and events

• Luo Feng and Morosa enter the Star Sand River’s pitch-black region, where time flows millions—or even hundreds of millions—of times faster than outside. The extreme distortion overwhelms the time-acceleration systems in Luo Feng’s inheritance space.
• Luo Feng studies the Time Origin by witnessing planets form, flourish, and collapse across vast stretches of accelerated time.
• He develops Light of Time Loss, a blade technique that uses the “fast” aspect of the Time Origin to accelerate a slash. After nearly ten million years pass outside, he perfects this aspect, pushing the slash beyond twenty thousand times the speed of light.
• Luo Feng then tackles the more difficult “slow” aspect, which can decelerate time and disrupt opponents’ attacks. He tests it through his avatar and his Shadow Blade Hundred Thousand Forms technique. After an immense period of failed experiments, he finally slows the region’s flow of time to one ten-thousandth its former rate.
• Perfecting both aspects of the Time Origin raises Luo Feng to the high-tier Second Source Saint Realm. He recognizes that Origin power alone cannot directly overpower an opponent of the same realm, so he resolves to fuse his understanding into his blade techniques.
• Luo Feng begins developing a complete Light of Time Loss, intending to combine time with the destructive Destruction Origin. He hopes the resulting technique will let him fight an Eighth-Source Saint Realm head-on.
• Meanwhile, the Primal Universe enters its final stage, signaling that another Reincarnation Era is nearing its end.

Character development and interactions

• Luo Feng demonstrates extraordinary patience and persistence, treating countless failures as part of the process. His mastery of both acceleration and deceleration marks a major advancement in his cultivation and combat potential.
• He grows more strategic in his understanding of power: rather than expecting perfected Origin mysteries to defeat peers directly, he plans to integrate them into techniques and exploit timing, feints, and misdirection.
• Morosa accompanies Luo Feng into the black region, but has no significant actions or interactions in the chapter. Luo Feng’s true body and Divine Power Avatar work in parallel, respectively studying the fast and slow aspects of time.

Significant themes

• Mastery through persistence: Progress comes from repeated experimentation and endurance across staggering spans of time.
• Time as both creation and destruction: The Time Origin governs the life cycle of celestial bodies and can be shaped into a weapon.
• Limits of power: Even perfected insight has restrictions; against equals, Luo Feng must translate understanding into personal techniques.
• The cost of cultivation: Luo Feng’s breakthroughs require immense subjective time, even as the outside world moves on toward the end of another era.

Chapter Summary: “The Destruction of the Primal Universe”

Key plot points and events

• The Primal Universe is entering its final decline, with the Great Annihilation approaching. Humanity’s current era has been unusually bleak: only nine beings in the Primal Universe have become True Gods.
• In Luo Feng’s Milky Way Holy Land Universe, 106 True Gods and 2,839 promising Universe Masters gather. Luo Feng joins them and explains that witnessing the Great Annihilation once helped him transcend reincarnation.
• To give Humanity’s elites a chance to learn from the event, Luo Feng sends their Divine Power Avatars toward the Primal Universe, while their true bodies remain safe. He will accelerate time a millionfold, which he says will not harm his Universe Origin.
• Primal Chaos City Leader tries to bow in gratitude on behalf of Humanity. Luo Feng refuses, insisting that he has only done what he ought to and that his teacher’s own service to Humanity is greater. The others express their thanks as well.
• The group departs under Jue He’s guidance. Luo Feng reveals that Origin Ancestor is already in the Primal Universe, studying its laws with Luo Feng’s permission.
• As the Destruction Origin spreads, stars and star regions rapidly collapse. Luo Feng, now the Primal Universe’s Will, observes the destruction but cannot stop it because it is ordained by the Supreme Rule.
• Humanity’s group reaches the Origin Space and sits alongside Origin Ancestor. A colored light spreads through them, allowing their wills to merge with the entire Primal Universe and experience its Great Annihilation directly.

• Origin Ancestor continues his study of the Primal Universe’s origins, while Luo Feng’s support allows him to observe the final destruction without interference.
• Luo Feng also wonders whether the Supreme Rule can be understood, and whether legendary beings Yuan and Firmament have managed to comprehend it.

Significant themes

Key plot points and events

• With the Supreme Rule’s guidance, Luo Feng deliberately releases the Destruction Origin and triggers the Primal Universe’s Great Annihilation. The universe collapses from its outer boundaries inward; matter and all living beings are reduced to particles, and their life energy flows into the Origin Sea.
• Experiencing the destruction a second time gives Luo Feng sharper insight into the Destruction Origin. He stops himself from pursuing it further, knowing that mastering it too deeply could make comprehending the other Origins far more difficult on his path to becoming a God King.
• As a new Primal Universe begins to form, Luo Feng helps drive its Origins. He observes how the Five Elements Origins establish the foundations of reality, while the other Origins contribute to the universe’s development and its ten fundamental Laws.
• Luo Feng begins concentrating on the Earth Origin, sensing its role in forming matter and celestial bodies. He continues studying it while time passes in an accelerated zone.
• Humanity’s experts spend vast periods contemplating what they witnessed. Luo Feng later answers the True Gods’ questions about Laws and their fusion.
• The Primal Chaos City Leader breaks through to the Void Level and Transcends Reincarnation. His Miniature Universe becomes Humanity’s third Sacred Land Universe, the Chaos Holy Land.
• During the celebrations, Luo Feng unexpectedly realizes he has grasped a trace of the Earth Origin as well—making the occasion a “double celebration.”

Character developments

• Luo Feng deepens his understanding of both Destruction and Earth, while carefully managing his progress so the Destruction Origin will not obstruct his broader pursuit of God Kinghood.
• The Primal Chaos City Leader achieves a major breakthrough, aided by Luo Feng and the Origin Ancestor, and gains a particularly solid foundation.
• Humanity’s True Gods and Universe Masters gain valuable insights from witnessing the universe’s destruction and rebirth; Luo Feng’s explanations help them resolve questions about Laws.
• True Yan Lord remains a Universe Master by choice, prioritizing a stronger foundation and a possible future Transcendence over an immediate breakthrough.

Significant themes

• Creation and destruction: The universe’s annihilation and rebirth are two stages of a cosmic cycle, each offering profound insight.
• Knowledge and restraint: Luo Feng recognizes that mastering one Origin too far can hinder progress in others, so advancement requires strategic limits.
• Origins beneath Laws: Laws are presented as the outer layer of deeper Origin Mysteries, which in turn arise from the fundamental Origins.
• Humanity’s growing prominence: The Chaos Holy Land strengthens Humanity’s position and underscores the widening gap between it and the other races.

Character interactions

• Luo Feng’s actions allow Humanity’s experts to share in the experience of cosmic destruction and creation; afterward, he patiently answers their questions.
• The Primal Chaos City Leader credits Luo Feng’s guidance for his breakthrough, while Luo Feng and Humanity’s close circle welcome and congratulate him.
• The City Leader jokes with True Yan about advancing, and True Yan explains why he is content to wait.
• Luo Feng hosts a celebratory feast, privately recognizing that he has made progress on the Earth Origin at the same time.

Chapter 97 Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Humanity celebrates Primal Chaos City Leader’s breakthrough into the Void True God realm and his successful passage through reincarnation.
• The other ancient True Gods—including Puti, True God Hong, Huo Qiong, Xi Mo, Ice Peak, Darkness, and Peng Gong—are deeply motivated by his success. They enter seclusion, hoping to find their own opportunities for advancement.
• Luo Feng advises his son, Luo Hai, that his sheltered life and association with Luo Feng have limited his growth. Luo Hai must abandon his identity as Luo Feng’s son, experience genuine danger, and forge his own path.
• Luo Feng gives Luo Hai a completely new identity and sends him into the Universe Ocean without publicly revealing his origins. Luo Hai accepts the challenge and resolves to begin anew.
• True God Puti visits Luo Feng to ask how he can break through toward reincarnation. Luo Feng explains that the path is not truly hidden; rather, Puti’s fixation on reincarnation has become a mental obstacle.
• Luo Feng tells Puti that breakthrough depends on the purity and perspective of one’s heart. Primal Chaos City Leader advanced after releasing his burdens and no longer treating reincarnation as an insurmountable barrier.
• Inspired by Luo Feng’s words, Puti decides to travel through the universe and Universe Ocean as an outsider, hoping experience will help him clarify his path.
• After Puti departs, Luo Feng reflects on both Puti’s future and Luo Hai’s dangerous new journey. Xu Xin then joins him, and Luo Feng invites her to explore and appreciate his world together.

• Luo Hai: Accepts responsibility for his own future. By adopting a new identity, he seeks to escape the limitations of being Luo Feng’s son and develop through hardship and independent choices.
• True God Puti: Begins confronting the emotional and psychological barriers that have prevented his breakthrough. He realizes that his obsession with reincarnation—and his lingering connection to Mountain Guest—may be restricting his vision.

• Luo Feng and Puti: Luo Feng treats Puti as a respected senior brother and offers philosophical guidance rather than a direct cultivation method. Puti leaves visibly changed and more open to finding his own path.
• Luo Feng and Xu Xin: Their affectionate exchange reveals Luo Feng’s softer side and provides a peaceful conclusion after the chapter’s discussions of cultivation, responsibility, and risk.

Key plot points and events

• After mastering the Time Origin and reaching the threshold of the Earth Origin, Luo Feng leaves seclusion and turns his attention to the Firmament Palace, whose Token he acquired at Star Sand River.

• Following the Token’s summons, he travels into the Sea of Loss’s most dangerous depths. His mastery of time and the Time Heart let him navigate extreme, chaotic time flows and distorted space.
• Near the Palace, the Token opens a stable passage. Luo Feng enters the enormous ten-story tower, and the Token dissolves into it.
• The first level contains a Natural Wormhole leading to a Universe Ocean. Luo Feng discovers it is the one containing his homeland, including the Primal Universe and his Miniature Universe. He confirms he can return through the Wormhole.
• Seeing a possible route between the Firmament Palace and the Universe Ocean, Luo Feng considers bringing people from his homeland to the Origin Continent. He and Morosa travel toward the Primal Universe in the Star Tower, while Luo Feng wonders what the first trial is meant to test.
