Chapter Summaries

Odin demonstrated that he could learn Starry Sky Octopus abilities after seeing them once, impressing the octopuses as they tested him with more techniques. He mastered several abilities, including Invisibility, though he considered it less useful than the Snake Talisman.

• Odin erased a Particle Black Hole by counteracting it with identical starry sky Nen, and the crowned Tribulation Transcendence realm octopus identified his innate talent as learning.
• A Tribulation Transcendence realm octopus demonstrated Body Enlargement, and Odin copied it, growing to eight thousand meters before the octopus withdrew.
• Another Tribulation Transcendence realm octopus demonstrated tentacle extension, and Odin copied the technique and its applications.
• An Integration realm octopus demonstrated Area Sealing, and Odin created an identical compressed-space point.
• An Integration realm octopus used Energy Decomposition and Recycling on a meteorite, and Odin copied the technique to absorb its energy as starry sky Nen.
• Odin copied Energy Reflection and Invisibility from two Deification realm octopuses, then released Invisibility and reappeared, disappointed that it seemed less useful than the Snake Talisman.

Odin learned every demonstrated Starry Sky Nen talent and was named leader of the Starry Sky Octopuses, then used his new authority to protect humanity while leaving the species’ affairs largely unchanged. He returned to Elf City to focus on cultivation and research, leaving the octopuses to manage themselves.

• Odin learned the Starry Sky Octopuses’ Nen talents, including accelerated regeneration, matter reorganization, energy materialization, and spatial folding.
• The crowned octopus named Odin Population Leader after the octopuses decided their species needed a powerful leader.
• Odin accepted the role and changed his plan to wipe out the Starry Sky Octopuses, believing he could bring species together and keep humanity safe.
• Odin used his new authority to preserve the existing systems and claim the Testing Ground as a protected reserve for humanity.
• Odin returned to Elf City to study Starry Sky Nen and cultivate while the Starry Sky Octopuses continued managing their own affairs.

Odin improved Energy Decomposition and Recycling, tested its uses, and continued prioritizing True Essence cultivation to strengthen his foundation. Cheadle then brought him requests from the Elf Queen and Ging, leaving Odin to expect the Elf Queen the next morning while Cheadle handled the ruins investigation.

• Odin used the Aura Bullet Dragon to optimize Energy Decomposition and Recycling Starry Sky Nen, learning its many iterations before settling on a version that could yield a net gain from Internal Energy.
• Odin tested the improved ability as a cultivation method but found converting Starry Sky Nen into True Essence more efficient, and decided to keep cultivating True Essence to strengthen his foundation.
• Cheadle arrived with news that the anxious Elf Queen wanted to meet Odin, and he scheduled her visit for the following morning.
• Cheadle reported that Ging had found extensive ruins and requested investigation support, and Odin told her to decide how to respond.

Odin approved the Elf Queen’s plan to rescue more than eight hundred Elves trapped in Human Territory and granted them land east of Elf City. He then forced the Main Gods to stop interfering in the mortal world, leaving them to develop on their own.

• Odin gave the Elf Queen permission to rescue the trapped Elves and use Accompany and Magnetic Force to bring them back, telling her to settle them on the land east of the city.
• Three days later, the Elf Queen led fifty Elves out of Elf City with Cards supplied by Cheadle to carry out the rescue.
• Odin summoned the Main Gods to the Hunter Association’s Conference Hall using the Hunter Godhead Token.
• Odin ordered the Main Gods to stop interfering in the mortal world, then overwhelmed them with his pressure when they challenged his authority.
• Odin told the Main Gods that the outsiders above the Testing Ground would not return and left them to follow his rules.

Kurapika, Leorio, and fifteen others returned from Elf City to the human world, sailing to the New Continent to check on its progress. They arrived at a developed harbor, where a young soldier recognized Kurapika as a Hunter and ran to fetch his commanding officer.

• Kurapika and Leorio asked Odin for permission to return to the human world, and Odin told Cheadle to arrange their departure.
• Odin took Ponzu back for a visit, then Kurapika, Leorio, Knuckle, Shoot, and thirteen others gathered to leave.
• Knov used an Accompany Card to carry the group to the shore, gave them a cruise ship, and returned to Elf City.
• Kurapika and the others sailed across Lake Mobius and arrived at the New Continent, where they saw a harbor, ships, houses, and busy streets.
• A uniformed young man asked for entry permits, recognized Kurapika's Hunter License, and ran to get his commanding officer.

Kurapika and his companions met Kakin’s Eighth Queen and Fourteenth Prince after requesting fuel, then encountered Beyond, Pariston, and Saiyu. Beyond reacted warily to the group and tested Leorio with a Nen sphere, which Leorio destroyed with a punch.

• Hans contacted his superiors after Kurapika asked to borrow fuel, and Kakin’s royal family invited Kurapika to meet them.
• Kurapika, Leorio, Knuckle, and the others followed Hans to the royal residence and spoke with the Eighth Queen.
• Beyond, Pariston, and Saiyu entered the hall, and Beyond became wary when he noticed Kurapika’s companions.
• Kurapika relayed Netero’s message to Beyond about contacting him to explore the Dark Continent.
• Beyond formed a Nen sphere and sent it toward Leorio, who punched it apart, making Beyond’s pupils contract.

Kurapika’s group met Beyond and his companions, who suspected their sudden increase in strength came from shapeshifting magical beasts, but learned that Odin had trained them. Back at home, Odin prepared to give humanity Nen Script meridians and reconsidered how to include people already alive.

• Beyond and Pariston questioned Kurapika’s group about their changed auras and strength, suspecting they were magical beasts.
• Kurapika explained that Odin had taught them a new way to use energy, then discussed the Dark Continent with Beyond and said his group would return to their ship.
• Kurapika led his companions out of the stone building, and Leorio sighed with relief once they were outside.
• Odin prepared to use the Aura Bullet Dragon to write Nen Script meridians into humanity’s genes.
• Ponzu pointed out that changing human genes would only benefit future generations, so Odin paused and considered starting with memes instead.

Odin decided to spread Nen Script meridians through a meme and used the Aura Bullet Dragon to make his and Ponzu’s meridians part of their foundations. He then devised a system combining demon cores and Nen Script meridians so everyone could cultivate from infancy, though the chapter left him still needing to create the memes.

• Odin proposed turning Nen Script meridians into a meme that could spread to anyone who considered themselves human, and chose Netero and the others’ meridian design as its basis.
• Odin wished for the Aura Bullet Dragon to make his Nen Script meridians, true essence, and primordial spirit part of his foundation.
• Odin used the same method to make Ponzu’s Nen Script meridians part of her foundation, and Ponzu thanked him.
• Odin planned to create memes for Nen Script meridians and demon cores, but worried that demon cores’ automatic cultivation would cause Nen Script meridians to decline.
• Odin decided that everyone would cultivate a demon core from infancy, which would later either remain or convert into Nen Script meridians when their talents emerged.
• Odin concluded that he could not make Nen Script meridians cultivate automatically because that could cause cultivation deviation and conflict with a person’s use of true essence.

One year after Odin spread Nen Script meridians and Demon Cores throughout the Testing Ground, humanity grew stronger while Odin advanced to the Integration realm. At the Hunter Association, Cheadle reported a surge in violent incidents, and Odin suggested letting Pariston handle the troublemakers.

• Over the year, Netero and Ging entered the Nascent Soul Realm, Beyond secluded himself to catch up, and the Hunter Association resumed activities in Elf City and the nearby Magical Beast Forest.
• Odin broke through to the Integration realm, gained the ability to switch between Soul Form and his physical body, and estimated that he would become an immortal in five years.
• Odin predicted that humanity could become the Testing Ground's strongest race within ten years and planned to travel the universe with Ponzu after they were ready.
• The next day, Cheadle told Odin and Ponzu that violent incidents had surged as newly empowered victims retaliated against former bullies and abusers, while some people exploited the upheaval.
• Odin dismissed the old grievances as understandable and suggested that Pariston deal with those causing trouble.

Odin watched Blue Star’s civilization progress from the Warring States period into a spacefaring humanity that colonized other stars. The chapter ended with a human expedition discovering life on a distant planet, exciting people across Earth.

• Odin watched the armies of the Warring States period fight, then observed Qin Shi Huang unify the realm and later dynasties rise and fall.
• Odin saw Blue Star’s history advance into the twenty-first century and decided to let its technology develop without introducing magic.
• Humanity colonized Mars, expanded across the Solar System, built space habitats, and sent its first interstellar colony ship to Proxima Centauri.
• Humanity reached other stars as spacecraft advanced from fusion to antimatter propulsion, and a ship from Vega discovered a planet with purple plants and unfamiliar fish.
• A biologist confirmed the existence of alien life, and news of the discovery reached Earth, where humanity erupted with excitement.

Odin watched humanity develop advanced technologies across the galaxy, then recreated and stored that knowledge for the Hunter Association to preserve. Five years later, he completed his transformation into an Immortal, and the energy of his ascension strengthened people throughout Elf City.

• Odin observed humanity colonize half the galaxy and develop technologies including Spatial Engines, Matter Converters, and mind uploading.
• Odin recreated several advanced devices, found he had no need for them, and decided to place the technological knowledge in the Hunter Association's archive for future generations.
• Odin chose Kurapika, Cheadle, and others to manage the knowledge, intending for them to discover it themselves.
• Five years later, Odin became an Immortal in his residence, and his overflowing energy spread a strange light across Elf City.
• The city's residents felt their cultivation improve as Odin's light withdrew, and Odin opened his eyes and sensed the immense immortal power within him.

After becoming immortal, Odin surveyed how humanity and his companions had changed over five years, then chose to leave the planet with Ponzu. They entered a Star Gate to a vast universe, while no one knew whether or when Odin would return.

• Odin adjusted to his immortality and sensed that humanity had grown stronger as demon cores and Nen Script meridians transformed the population.
• Odin found that Ponzu had reached the Deification realm, while Netero and Ging remained at the Nascent Soul Realm and others pursued their own work and adventures.
• Odin took the Hunter Godhead Chairman's Token from his desk and called Ponzu to join him.
• Odin opened a Star Gate to a vast starry universe, and he and Ponzu stepped through before the gate closed behind them.
