Chapter Summaries

Qin Siyang reviewed the Safe Zone’s recovery with Qian Wendao and prepared to merge into the [Evolutionary Origin Domain]. Qian Wendao urged him to complete the sandworm’s [Succession Trial] first, warning that Ander would not wait forever.

• Qian Wendao told Qin Siyang that the Safe Zone had over ten million Sequence Ability Users, many of whom had advanced quickly after Zone 1 fell and Minister Tang increased hunters’ earnings and potion rewards.
• Qin Siyang and Qian Wendao discussed how An Youlu’s death had ended the Ministry of Armaments’ internal sabotage, while Qin Yingguang’s legion and Han Huizhi’s faction had been weakened and the United Merchants’ Association had outgrown its rivals.
• Qin Siyang asked Qian Wendao to choose a time for them to merge into the [Evolutionary Origin Domain].
• Qian Wendao advised Qin Siyang to complete the sandworm’s [Succession Trial] beforehand, since failing it could limit his ability to fight outside the Safe Zone for long periods.
• Qian Wendao warned Qin Siyang not to believe the sandworm after passing the trial and told him to take his reward and leave quickly; Qin Siyang agreed to find a way to pass.

Qin Siyang and Li Tianming prepared for Qin Siyang’s trials before their Safe Zone merged into the evolutionary origin domain, then used Hao Liang’s scent-masking potion to let Qin Siyang attack the Sandworm’s servants. The Sandworm ignored Qin Siyang but eventually noticed Li Tianming and turned toward him.

• Qin Siyang told Li Tianming that the Safe Zone merger was approaching and that he also had to pass the Skywalking Lion-Eagle’s Succession Trial.
• Li Tianming proposed helping Qin Siyang pass the Sandworm’s trial by attacking its servants from a distance while Qin Siyang escaped if necessary.
• Qin Siyang drank Hao Liang’s potion, disguised himself among the Sandworm’s servants, and began killing them with the Heaven-Splitting Halberd.
• The Sandworm continued searching for Qin Siyang as he cleared away its servants, while Li Tianming watched from beside the Capsule Pod.
• The Sandworm turned toward Li Tianming, who realized it was coming for him.

Qin Siyang discovered he could provoke the Sandworm into crushing its own Sandworm Servants, but the monster adapted and badly injured him. As the Sandworm closed in to kill him, a vine pulled him away and he spotted Li Tianming on the wasteland.

• The Sandworm chased Li Tianming underground, then wandered aimlessly and made it difficult for Qin Siyang to fight its servants in the dark.
• When Qin Siyang tugged at one of the Sandworm’s scales, it rampaged and killed thousands of its own servants, so he began using the tactic to clear them out.
• After Qin Siyang repeated the trick several times, the Sandworm released bone spikes from its scales and crushed him, leaving him badly injured.
• The Sandworm pursued Qin Siyang as he tried to escape, but vines wrapped around his waist and pulled him away toward Li Tianming.

Qin Siyang returned to the Sandworm and killed nearly all of its servants while Li Tianming kept the Capsule Pod ahead of the pursuing beast. Qin Siyang discovered the last two servants were disguised as the Sandworm’s eyes, but after he destroyed them, the Sandworm swallowed him.

• Li Tianming rescued Qin Siyang, and the two escaped the Sandworm in the Capsule Pod before returning to continue the trial.
• Qin Siyang used [Feast Kingdom] to kill most of the Sandworm Servants as Li Tianming kept the Sandworm chasing the Capsule Pod.
• After [Feast Kingdom] went on cooldown, Qin Siyang resumed hunting and reduced the remaining servants to two, but could not find them.
• Qin Siyang tore armor plates from the Sandworm and realized its two eyes might be the missing servants.
• Qin Siyang destroyed both eyes with his spear, and the Sandworm swallowed him.

Qin Siyang passed Zhu Thirteen’s Succession Trial and found himself inside the Sandworm, where Zhu Thirteen introduced himself and proposed a deal. Qin Siyang refused to hear the proposal, insisting that he wanted his trial reward, and their conversation ended in a stalemate.

• After the Sandworm stopped thrashing and burrowed underground, Qin Siyang realized he was inside its body and concluded that he had passed the trial.
• Qin Siyang saw the Sandworm’s true form and learned that its name was Zhu Thirteen.
• Zhu Thirteen explained that the other beings had withheld their names because they did not consider Qin Siyang worthy, while he wanted to be friends with him.
• Qin Siyang recalled Qian Wendao’s warning not to trust the Sandworm and asked for his trial reward instead of accepting Zhu Thirteen’s offer of friendship.
• Zhu Thirteen proposed a deal, but Qin Siyang repeatedly declined to hear it, leaving them in a stalemate.

Qin Siyang refused Zhu Thirteen’s offer and insisted on receiving his [Succession Trial] reward, then returned to Li Tianming without knowing what it was. Afterward, Zhu Thirteen gathered other Sandworms and explained that he had deliberately broken the trial rules because he planned to leave Earth and wanted to profit before being expelled.

• Qin Siyang refused to make a deal with Zhu Thirteen and deduced that the examiner was restricted from killing trial candidates or pursuing them at full strength on Earth.
• Zhu Thirteen said Qin Siyang had already received his reward, then forced him out of the Sandworm’s body and burrowed underground.
• Li Tianming caught Qin Siyang in the Capsule Pod, and the two decided to return and ask Old Qian about the unknown reward.
• Zhu Thirteen met with several Sandworms, including Zhú Seventeen, and admitted he had broken the trial rules by telling Qin Siyang his name.
• Zhu Thirteen explained that he intended to leave because the trial’s information had spread and staying would bring losses, so he had tried to get something from the candidates before departing.

Zhu Thirteen accepted the Sandworm Tribe’s expulsion from Earth after admitting he had broken the [Succession Trial] rules, and the Succession Envoy let him leave. Qin Siyang later learned that passing the trial awarded him [Burrowing], a skill he considered useless because his equipment already let him travel underground.

• Zhu Thirteen told the other sandworms to stop considering investments in Chosen and focus on profiting from trial takers.
• Zhu Thirteen admitted to the Succession Envoy that he had broken the [Succession Trial] rules and accepted the Sandworm Tribe’s expulsion from Earth.
• The Succession Envoy allowed Zhu Thirteen and the sandworms to leave, and they departed Earth for the Star Sea.
• Qin Siyang told Qian Wendao that he had passed the sandworm’s [Succession Trial] but had refused to trade with Zhu Thirteen.
• Qian Wendao told Qin Siyang that the trial’s reward was [Burrowing], and admitted he had known it might be of little use to him.

Qin Siyang postponed the domain merger to resolve a remaining problem, then took Li Tianming out to find the Skywalking Lion-Eagle. After easily killing four medium gods and collecting titan reed, they found the creature and planned to spend five days gathering its Feather Blades.

• Qian Wendao agreed to delay merging the domains for a few days and said Qin Yingguang's troops might be needed against other Safe Zones.
• Qin Siyang left the Ministry of Armaments and took Li Tianming out of the Safe Zone to search for the Skywalking Lion-Eagle.
• Qin Siyang killed four medium gods with a single kick, collected their bodies, and found titan reed to share with Li Tianming for Dean Chen.
• Qin Siyang and Li Tianming found the Skywalking Lion-Eagle more than four hundred kilometers from the Safe Zone.
• Qin Siyang proposed gathering Feather Blades for at least five days, and Li Tianming agreed.

Qin Siyang and Li Tianming spent five days harvesting the Skywalking Lion-Eagle’s Feather Blades before Li Tianming suggested that Qin Siyang approach its body to complete the [Succession Trial]. Qin Siyang touched its feather crystal and was transported into its nest, where he found a tiny, plucked bird that accused him of stripping its feathers for five days.

• Qin Siyang fought the Skywalking Lion-Eagle’s Feather Blade attacks for five days while Li Tianming collected the broken blades in Storage Boxes.
• Li Tianming reasoned that the Skywalking Lion-Eagle’s attack range had reached its limit and that Qin Siyang needed to get close to its body to pass the [Succession Trial].
• Qin Siyang teleported beneath the Skywalking Lion-Eagle and reached for its body as a point-blank burst of Feather Blades trapped him.
• Qin Siyang touched the Skywalking Lion-Eagle’s feather crystal, triggering a vortex that pulled him into its nest.
• Qin Siyang found a small, nearly featherless bird in the nest, and it shouted that he had been plucking its feathers for five days.

Qin Siyang discovered that his repeated attacks had shattered Feather Eagle’s Feather Blades, leaving her featherless just before her wedding. She demanded that he provide materials to make her replacement feathers beautiful, and the chapter ended with her pleading for his help.

• Qin Siyang apologized after Feather Eagle explained that his attacks had destroyed her Feather Blades and left her unable to regrow them in time.
• Feather Eagle demanded that Qin Siyang take responsibility, while he mistakenly thought she wanted him to marry her.
• Feather Eagle clarified that she only wanted materials to improve her new feathers and explained that she had to attend her wedding with ordinary dark-purple feathers.
• Feather Eagle warned that her jealous older cousin and the wedding guests would mock her, then pleaded with Qin Siyang to help.

Qin Siyang offered the Feather Eagle minerals to help her prepare for her wedding, and learned that the star ores he possessed were merely decorative while the Rock Core Being’s minerals were valuable strategic resources. The Feather Eagle accepted the gifts and revealed that she was the daughter of an ordinary family, not a noble princess.

• Qin Siyang asked why the Feather Eagle was overseeing the Succession Trial despite having a wedding to attend, and she explained that the duty had been arranged in advance.
• The Feather Eagle asked Qin Siyang for red and ochre ore, and he showed her his collection of common ores and crystals.
• Qin Siyang gave the Feather Eagle bluewater glass star ore and yellow-silver star ore after she explained that they were rare but only useful as decoration.
• Qin Siyang displayed minerals left by the Rock Core Being, and the Feather Eagle said they could beautify her feathers and were important strategic resources.
• Qin Siyang realized the Feather Eagle was not a noble princess, and she asked whether he thought she should be ashamed of her hardworking, ordinary parents.

Qin Siyang gave the Feather Eagle his minerals, and she offered him a choice of rewards for passing her Succession Trial. She explained the three options but had not yet revealed what choosing the far-right Feather Blade would grant.

• The Feather Eagle identified a brown ore as a cultivable material that could strengthen Qin Siyang’s Intermediate Growth Artifact, and Qin gave her all the minerals for her wedding.
• The Feather Eagle explained that she had made her trial exceptionally difficult and that the Green Vine Tribe’s Second-Level Sacrificial Domain had appeared improperly, making Qin’s Long Spear likely unique on Earth.
• The Feather Eagle offered Qin a choice among three Feather Blade rewards: Phantom Projection, a body-hair attack, or double rewards for his next Succession Trial.
• Qin Siyang dismissed the first two options as poor fits for his fighting style, and the Feather Eagle began explaining the third.

Qin Siyang accepted a feather that would double the reward from his next [Succession Trial], choosing to gamble on a future trial rather than take skills that would be useless against Ander. He returned to the real world with Li Tianming and detoured to pick up an old acquaintance, where Li and Quan Taibin were both shocked to find each other alive.

• The feathered eagle told Qin Siyang that Shield Whale, Mechanical Bone Ape, and Strength Ox examiners offered rewards that could be claimed twice, but the feather's effect had to be used on his next [Succession Trial].
• Qin Siyang chose the third feather because skills that depended on level suppression would likely not work against Ander.
• The feathered eagle gave Qin Siyang the feather, which would emerge automatically and double his next trial reward.
• Qin Siyang returned to the real world, where Li Tianming asked how things had gone.
• Qin Siyang told Li Tianming they needed to detour to pick up an old acquaintance before returning to prepare for the domain merger.
• Li Tianming and Quan Taibin were stunned to see each other alive.

Qin Siyang hurried Quan Taibin back to the Safe Zone ahead of the coming integration with the evolutionary origin domain, while Li Tianming discovered Quan’s research and proposed collaborating with him. The chapter ended with the two researchers still engrossed in conversation as Qin Siyang impatiently drove them away.

• Qin Siyang told Quan Taibin to pack and explained that the evolutionary origin domain would soon bring major changes and encounters with people from other evolutionary sequence domains.
• Qin Siyang revealed that he controlled the timing of the integration and that Quan Taibin was only the fourth person to learn the secret.
• Li Tianming examined Quan Taibin’s laboratory, praised his talent, and invited him to collaborate on research.
• Li Tianming and Quan Taibin spent nearly a day packing while discussing their ideas, frustrating Qin Siyang with their frequent stops.
• Qin Siyang accelerated the Drill Pod while Li Tianming and Quan Taibin chatted, startling them and jokingly calling them Li Boya and Quan Ziqi.

Qin Siyang and Qian Wendao prepared to announce the merger of their [evolutionary sequence domain] with the previous one while trying to prevent Ander from learning that Qin Siyang was essential to it. At a secret meeting in the Zhao Family’s underground refuge, Qian Wendao told the Safe Zone’s leaders that the merger would happen that afternoon.

• Qin Siyang returned to Qian Wendao after a week away and confirmed he was ready for the domain merger.
• Qin Siyang warned Qian Wendao that Ander’s spies could expose the plan and endanger him, so they decided to tell their allies and the public without delay.
• Qian Wendao destroyed his earlier plans and said he would leave Qin Siyang out of the public explanation.
• Qin Siyang and Qian Wendao secured the Zhao Family’s support and summoned the Safe Zone’s power leaders to a hidden chamber.
• Qian Wendao told the gathered leaders that their [evolutionary sequence domain] would merge with the previous [evolutionary sequence domain] that afternoon.

Qian Wendao revealed why the Safe Zone had to merge into the evolutionary origin domain and admitted that he had concealed the real timeline. He left the gathered leaders under house arrest until the merge was complete, ordering them to kill anyone who tried to leave.

• Qian Wendao explained that the six-month merger timeline had been hidden to keep Ander from causing chaos, while the other information about the universal sequence was true.
• Qian Wendao revealed that he came from another Safe Zone and said its slave societies would threaten them after the merger.
• Qian Wendao said the Safe Zone would be destroyed if they did not merge before someone reached sequence level ten one, and disclosed that the third part of the Apocalypse Fragment described the evolutionary origin domain.
• Qian Wendao said he and Qin Siyang had shared everything they knew, while Qin Siyang understood that Qian Wendao had claimed responsibility for deciding the merger to protect him.
• Qian Wendao refused to let the attendees leave until the merger was complete, and ordered them to kill anyone who tried to escape.

Qian Wendao announced that the three-year grace period was over and the Safe Zone would immediately face the Domain Merge. Ander realized Qian Wendao and Qin Siyang had anticipated the crisis, but the Domain Merge began before he could reach them.

• Qian Wendao and Qin Siyang kept the Chosen Ones under mutual supervision while they prepared for an emergency meeting.
• Qian Wendao told the Safe Zone that its three-year grace period had ended and it would meet humans from other Safe Zones immediately, provoking panic and anger.
• Ander tried to contact an ally, concluded that Qian Wendao had used the promise as a smokescreen, and set out to kill Qian Wendao and Qin Siyang.
• Ander crossed the edge of Zone 1 just as the world began to tremble, and he realized the Domain Merge had begun.

After Qin Siyang reached origin sequence level five, the world underwent a brief upheaval that replaced the old starry sky and reshaped the surrounding regions. The chapter ended as new mountain ranges, rivers, and seas emerged around the Safe Zone and Sigma District.

• Qin Siyang swallowed four pieces of [primordial starshine], reached origin sequence level five, and felt his body and the world fall into sync.
• The Safe Zone and its inhabitants froze in place as the sky churned, the horizon curled, and a force of space and time swept across the world.
• The upheaval ended, and Zhang Kuang recognized that the new starry sky matched his calculated celestial orbits.
• Qin Siyang and the others gathered outside as the Origin God Mountain Range rose to divide the Safe Zone from the Sigma District.
• An abyss opened beyond the Sigma District and released a raging torrent, while a vast expanse of water appeared beyond the main Safe Zone.

After the Safe Zone merged into a new world, Qian Wendao calmed its residents and coordinated with Zhao Longteng while Qin Siyang assessed his breakthrough to origin sequence level five. Qin Siyang found his abilities stronger but gained no new skills, and he resolved to seek the next level and answers in the Apocalypse Fragment.

• Qian Wendao announced that the Safe Zone had arrived in a new world, suspended god-hunting assignments, and said the United Government would investigate the changed surroundings.
• Qian Wendao told Zhao Longteng to stabilize the bases and asked him to report when Ander left Zone 1.
• Qian Wendao waited outside Qin Siyang's room after confirming that his heartbeat and breathing were steady.
• Qin Siyang examined his level-five skills and found that his strength and abilities had improved, but he had gained no new skill.
• Qin Siyang worried that he remained vulnerable to mental and ranged attacks, and decided to reach the next level and look for answers in the Apocalypse Fragment.

After reaching Origin Sequence Level Five and merging into the Evolutionary Origin Domain, Qin Siyang learned from the Apocalypse Fragment that the merged domains would compete to select the strongest contender. The fragment promised compensation hidden in changes to his domain, so Qin Siyang decided to explore beyond the Safe Zone.

• Qin Siyang read the new third section of the Apocalypse Fragment, which warned that the other domains might offer peace or start a conflict.
• The fragment explained that the Evolutionary Origin Domain would select the strongest overall contender based on objective results, not the god’s preferences.
• Qin Siyang realized the god had anticipated his plan to study the fragment and cater to the god’s tastes, and he wondered why he had been chosen and reborn.
• The fragment revealed that the eighth Evolutionary Sequence Domain was the youngest and would receive compensation within the environmental changes caused by the merger.
• Qin Siyang left his room and spoke with Qian Wendao, who said the leaders had returned to their bases and discussed Ander’s missed opportunities and combat strength.
