Chapter Summaries

After defeating the Six-Clawed Robot, Ye Liang met President Ryan and asked for help traveling to Unicorn Star. Ryan refused to use the teleportation gate because the Ten Great Civilizations would detect it and punish Myriad Races Planet, but Ye Liang insisted on going and asked for clues.

• Scar declared the Mountain Giant's core valuable and charged toward the creature despite its overwhelming strength.

Ye Liang and Scar fled a level 70 Mountain Giant while a hidden assassin attacked them, and Ye Liang realized the assassin was targeting him.
