Chapter Summaries

After centuries of roaming the Stellar Transformation world, Cao Bing reached the Dark Star Realm and struggled to comprehend its Space Laws while training the Demon Kings under his command. As the Immortal Realm’s summons became unavoidable, he entrusted Uncle Chen’s family to his servants and ascended from the Mortal Realm.

• Cao Bing explored the universe for more than three hundred years and discovered a primitive planet where he remained for several years.
• Fifty years earlier, Cao Bing broke through to the Dark Star Realm, gained teleportation, and began using it to study the Stellar Transformation world’s Space Laws.
• Cao Bing defeated Kong Lan and the other Demon Kings through his partial grasp of the Space Laws, then taught his subordinates what he knew.
• Cao Bing’s cultivation transformed as the Immortal Realm’s call strengthened, and he told his servants on Zi Xuan Star to protect Uncle Chen’s family.
• Cao Bing stood atop the planet’s highest mountain and ascended from the Mortal Realm in a flash of Golden Light.

After ascending to Yang Lan Star, Cao Bing learned from Yan Ding that the planet lay in the Bo Tao Starfield, where the Immortal and Demon Realms met, within the Xuan Emperor’s sphere of influence. Cao Bing wondered how far away Qin Yu was and why both of them had ascended to the border region.

• Cao Bing used his immortal sense to find that Yang Lan Star’s strongest expert was Yan Ding, a Level Five Golden Immortal.
• Cao Bing teleported into Yan Ding’s cultivation chamber, where Kong Lan and Zhan Meng subdued Yan Ding.
• Cao Bing questioned Yan Ding about Yang Lan Star’s location and whose sphere of influence it belonged to.
• Yan Ding told Cao Bing that Yang Lan Star was in the Bo Tao Starfield at the Immortal-Demon border and could be considered part of the Xuan Emperor’s domain.
• Cao Bing concluded that his unusual cultivation art had brought him to the border region and wondered how far away Qin Yu was.

Cao Bing tried to contact Qin Yu and Xiao Hei but received no replies, so he sought a star chart from Yan Ding. After finding the chart outdated and incomplete, he learned that the Shuang Yun Merchant Guild on Zi Su Star might have better records, though it was backed by powerful Immortal Emperor-level experts.

• Cao Bing failed to reach Qin Yu and Xiao Hei through their advanced communication devices and turned to his own affairs.
• Cao Bing ordered Yan Ding to hand over the Yan Family's star chart, and Kong Lan and Zhan Meng briefly loosened Yan Ding's sealed cultivation so he could retrieve it.
• Cao Bing examined the star chart and found it incomplete, outdated, and inconsistently recorded.
• Yan Ding explained that the Yan Family lacked the strength and resources to make a better chart, then pointed Cao Bing to the Shuang Yun Merchant Guild on Zi Su Star.
• Yan Ding warned Cao Bing that the merchant guild was backed by the Shuang Yun Sect, whose sect master and grand elder were Profound Immortal-level experts.

Cao Bing learned that the Shuang Yun Merchant Guild and Shuang Yun Sect on Zi Su Star might provide a path to wealth and influence, but he planned to raise his cultivation to World Lord level before traveling there. He stayed with the Yan Family on Yang Lan Star under guard while weighing the risks of controlling a faction protected by two Immortal Emperors.

• Cao Bing decided to travel to Zi Su Star and visit the Shuang Yun Merchant Guild after reaching World Lord level, since Immortal Emperor-level opponents could wield domain power.
• Cao Bing had Yu Liang and Kong Cao explore the Ni Yang Realm; they lost Xing Shou and Wu Shan but returned with more than a hundred Top-grade Immortal Artifacts, several thousand High-grade Immortal Artifacts, and two Low-grade Divine Artifacts.
• Cao Bing gave up on further expeditions into the Ni Yang Realm because the Sky-Breaking Diagram no longer worked after Yu Liang and Kong Cao left.
• Cao Bing ordered Yan Ding to arrange his stay with the Yan Family, and Kong Lan supervised Yan Ding as he prepared the finest courtyard for them.
• Cao Bing assigned Yan Ding two eighth-level Demon Kings as guards while considering the Shuang Yun Merchant Guild and Shuang Yun Sect as potential sources of income.

Cao Bing tightened his secret hold over Yang Lan Star and prepared to expand his influence to Zi Su Star and the Shuang Yun Merchant Guild. During his breakthrough to the World Lord level, the Stellar Transformation world's Space Law Origin descended, giving him a rare chance to witness and comprehend its Origin Laws.

• Cao Bing had Kong Lan, Zhan Meng, and other Level Nine Demon Kings learn the Soul Seal, then used it to enslave Yan Ding and the patriarchs of Yang Lan Star's other two great families.
• Cao Bing dispatched his controlled Demon Kings and Heavenly Demons to gather intelligence and resources, while Kong Lan led a force to Zi Su Star to investigate the Shuang Yun Merchant Guild and Shuang Yun Sect.
• After three months without hearing from Qin Yu, Xiao Hei, or the others, Cao Bing began his breakthrough using two miraculous pills and piles of Cosmic Crystals.
• Cao Bing's breakthrough summoned the Space Law Origin, whose pressure forced everyone on Yang Lan Star to their knees and whose mist expanded his inner world.
• The powers of Cao Bing's three stars fused to produce World Energy, drawing his consciousness into the Stellar Transformation world's law origins, where he devoted more than half his focus to comprehension.

Cao Bing completed the evolution of his internal world by drawing on the Stellar Transformation world's power, then received a spectacular display and message from the realm's most powerful being. Twelve law energies entered and merged with his internal world, leaving his breakthrough transformed by forces beyond his own.

• Cao Bing expanded his internal world to about ninety million kilometers and shaped it with islands for the Origin Laws, a central continent, a mountain, three stars, and an endless sea.
• Cao Bing shouted "All Things Flourish," causing plants, mountains, and other features to appear as his internal world became complete.
• The terrifying energies across the Immortal Demon Beast Realm surged toward Yang Lan Star and formed the words "Little friend, we are waiting for you!"
• Cao Bing realized that the message came from the realm's most powerful being, who had apparently noticed him and was waiting for him to cultivate further.
• The cosmic energies collided in spectacular fireworks above Yang Lan Star, then twelve energies representing the laws of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, wind, lightning, time, space, and life entered Cao Bing and merged with his internal world.

After completing his breakthrough and gaining major insight into the Space Law, Cao Bing fled Yang Lan Star before the Immortal Demon Beast Realm’s overlords could arrive. The overlords searched the planet for the cause of the anomaly but found no trace of him.

• Cao Bing completed his breakthrough, absorbed twelve types of energy, and comprehended nine fundamental Space Law units, including the essence of one.
• Cao Bing erased Yan Ding’s memories of him and departed Yang Lan Star with his followers before the overlords arrived.
• Xuan Emperor reached Yang Lan Star first, followed by Yu Emperor Feng Yu and several other Immortal and Demon Emperors.
• The overlords questioned the strongest members of Yang Lan Star’s three great clans and searched the planet, but Cao Bing’s erased memories and Soul Seal left them without clues.
• After several days, Yu Emperor and the other overlords left Yang Lan Star, though they may have left subordinates behind to watch the planet or Bo Tao Starfield.

After consolidating his breakthrough on Yezhang Star for ten years, Cao Bing arrived on Zi Su Star and learned that the Shuang Yun Sect and Merchant Guild served Xuan Emperor. He spent two months seeking a safe opportunity to take control of them, and finally found one.

• After two months of watching the sect, Cao Bing finally found an opportunity.

Meanwhile, the creator god discovered a second person with an unknowable fate and celebrated with flowers of terrifying energy that drew powerful figures toward Hidden Emperor Star.

• Hidden Emperor and the Black and White Twin Emperors watched the spectacle and speculated about who the new young friend might be.

• Cao Bing planned to use the remaining potions to advance his Stellar Transformation technique to the peak of the Dark Star stage, but avoided further advancement because his cultivation paths were incomplete and his three stars of Essence, Qi, and Spirit could become unstable.
