Luo Yuan explained his plans to grow stronger by gathering the Edge Zone’s resources, recruiting trusted subordinates, and eventually claiming the planet and its origin laws. After he and his subordinates annihilated a probing attack, nearby fighters gave up challenging them, and Luo Yuan decided it was time to head to the next region.

• Luo Yuan planned to use the Edge Zone’s resources to strengthen himself and his trusted subordinates before venturing into the Middle Region.
• Luo Yuan intended to reach the stellar-system level, challenge the planet’s lord, and build a foothold for his wider goal of controlling the universe’s origin.
• Luo Yuan recognized that the surrounding fighters were testing his strength, so he led his subordinates in killing every attacker without letting anyone escape.
• Nearby observers saw that Luo Yuan’s smaller group had greater combat strength than before and abandoned their plans to attack him.
• Luo Yuan concluded that he had taken nearly all the Edge Zone’s worthwhile resources and decided to move on to the next region.

Luo Yuan left the outer reaches for the middle region after gathering its special origin resources and advancing to the advanced stage of Planetary Level. As he learned more about the planet’s structure, he continued pursuing his plan to replace its origin will and become its Dominator.

• Luo Yuan’s strength persuaded the surrounding faction commanders to withdraw, and they reported him to their higher-ups as a talent to observe and possibly recruit.
• Luo Yuan considered how the universe’s origin power was embedded in resources and decided to replace its will before trying to restore its origin.

• Luo Yuan set out for the middle region after concluding that the outer reaches had no more treasures worth pursuing.
• Luo Yuan received messages and maps from Planetary Level experts, then learned that the planet’s powerful lord had reorganized its regions and territories.

• Luo Yuan left most of his controlled followers in the outer region and chose ten powerful people to accompany him into the middle region.
• Luo Yuan planned to nurture the ten as future administrators while prioritizing his own cultivation and pursuit of resources containing origin power.
• Luo Yuan and his subordinates reached the middle region's entrance, where he recognized that Planetary Level guards and the organized Wilderness Zone indicated the planet was controlled by a powerful lord.
• The guards recognized Luo Yuan as a powerful Planetary Level being and let him and his followers pass.
• Luo Yuan entered the middle region, kept a low profile among its powerful adventurers, and noticed a market at its relatively safe outer edge.

Luo Yuan brought his ten subordinates to a forest in the Middle Zone to gather Origin Fruits and help them grow, but found the grove guarded by dangerous demon beasts. The human experts gathered outside feared the beasts after scouts sent inside failed to return.

• Luo Yuan left the market after finding no useful origin-power treasures and used his map to choose a forest rich in Origin Fruits.
• He led his ten subordinates toward the forest, aiming to gather resources safely and help them advance toward the Planetary Level.
• Luo Yuan arrived and saw many experts gathered around a grove whose Origin Fruits were far more plentiful than those in the Edge Zone.
• He noticed that the experts stayed outside the grove, and inferred that demon beasts inside had killed the scouts sent to investigate.

Luo Yuan entered the silent forest alone and uncovered a concealed Demon Beast whose strength and intelligence challenged his assumptions about life in this universe. After striking it without harming it, he reflected on the universe’s damaged origin, its races, and the overlapping dimensions, then resolved to grow strong enough to face whatever came.

• Luo Yuan decided to explore the forest himself and told his subordinates to wait outside and leave immediately when he returned.

• The beginner-level Demon Beast withstood Luo Yuan’s attack, leading him to recognize the danger posed by intelligent, powerful creatures in the forest.
• Luo Yuan reconsidered how intelligence, strength, races, and universe dimensions related, and concluded that he needed to become a Universe Dominator.

Luo Yuan fought a powerful Demon Beast and reflected on the hostility between humans and the beasts, whose territory and resources humans treated as their own. He weighed his cultivation and assessment goals against the value of the damaged-origin universe, and resolved to develop cautiously while seeking power beyond the limits of his home universe.

• Luo Yuan judged that the Demon Beast he faced was powerful but manageable for him.
• Luo Yuan understood that Demon Beasts viewed human experts as outsiders who seized their territory and treasures, including the valuable Origin Fruits.
• Luo Yuan decided not to confront the planet’s strongest factions yet and believed he could become the planet’s strongest within half a year if he focused on cultivation.
• Luo Yuan chose to pursue balanced development rather than rush his cultivation, reasoning that the final assessment likely rewarded more than advancement speed.
• Luo Yuan concluded that the damaged-origin universe and the universe he represented could become his spoils, and that he would seek power beyond the scarce resources controlled by the supreme experts of his home universe.

Luo Yuan fought a planetary-level Demon Beast with spatial abilities while exploring the forest, studying its techniques as he struggled to defeat it. After killing it, he used a similar spatial ability to escape the other Demon Beasts, who then alerted their territory to hunt him.

• Luo Yuan explored toward the forest’s core, seeking Origin Fruits while avoiding powerful Demon Beasts.
• A planetary-level Demon Beast suddenly emerged from space and attacked Luo Yuan with spatial techniques.
• Luo Yuan evaded its attacks and learned its spatial methods while fighting, but nearby Demon Beasts began gathering.
• Luo Yuan killed the spatial Demon Beast and used a Space Jump-like ability to escape the converging attackers.
• The Demon Beasts lost track of Luo Yuan and spread word of the human who had used their kind’s spatial ability.

Luo Yuan reconsidered his plan to pursue the Origin Fruits, realizing that this declining higher dimension universe held many other foundations and resources he needed to understand. He continued hiding his ambition to take control of the universe and decided to strengthen himself before exploring its most dangerous regions.

• Luo Yuan recognized that Origin Fruits could strengthen both beings and their connection to the universe's Origin Will, but he chose not to pursue them immediately.
• Luo Yuan reasoned that the Origin Will had dispersed Origin Force to cultivate a powerful being who might save it, while fearing that a being with hostile intentions could take control.
• Luo Yuan concealed his plan to replace the Origin Will, continued sending it goodwill through their connection, and received no response.
• Luo Yuan concluded that the Superpowerful Beings in his original universe valued resources over loyalty and might seize his Origin Power if they learned of his plans.
• Luo Yuan realized that the evaluation was a setup to reveal information about this independent universe, whose foundations had once supported a higher dimension universe.
• Luo Yuan judged that his planetary-level strength made a direct attempt on the central Origin Fruits unwise, so he planned to grow stronger and explore the universe's other resources first.

Luo Yuan fought demon beasts to learn their innate abilities, mastering the power of time before capturing a guarded beast with a transformation ability. He began studying that ability while the Demon Beast King sent more beasts after him, and the chapter left him probing the transformation power’s limits.

• Luo Yuan decided to seek out isolated demon beasts with useful innate abilities so he could strengthen himself before entering the Core Land.
• Luo Yuan fought a time-wielding demon beast, learned its ability, trapped it with spatial techniques, and killed it.
• Luo Yuan’s attacks drew the attention of the Demon Beast King, who sent more demon beasts toward him, allowing Luo Yuan to search among them for a transformation ability.
• Luo Yuan found a guarded young demon beast that could assume different forms, then used time and space powers to defeat its guards and take it to a secluded place.
• Luo Yuan forced the young beast to fight and discovered that its transformations could imitate some of a form’s abilities, though mastering the power required understanding each target.

Luo Yuan analyzed the laws governing universes and deduced that this universe’s origin will had been gravely damaged in a conflict with its supreme powerhouses. He planned to grow stronger without exposing his intention to replace that will, while balancing the risks of the Genius Assessment.

• Luo Yuan explained how origin laws shaped power and why he could learn demon beasts’ innate divine abilities by observing their use of those laws.
• Luo Yuan reasoned that this universe’s origin will had likely clashed with its supreme powerhouses, leaving both sides devastated and the universe’s dimensional level in decline.
• Luo Yuan concluded that the damaged origin will remained dangerous and resolved to conceal his plan to replace it while using the universe’s resources to strengthen his will.
• Luo Yuan decided to keep fighting demon beasts for their abilities without raising his realm too quickly, since the assessment tested adaptability as well as strength.
• Luo Yuan considered why no outside Adventurer had completed the assessment’s final plan and accepted the risks, knowing his inheritance could help him recover if he failed.

Luo Yuan mastered a demon beast’s transformation ability, took its place, and was mistaken for a high-ranking member of the forest’s royal clan. After reaching the royal territory and encountering planetary-level demon beasts, he reconsidered the planet’s power and suspected that stronger beings and hidden forces remained in its Core Land.

• Luo Yuan fought a demon beast capable of assuming different forms, learned its transformation ability, and killed it.
• When nearby demon beasts arrived, Luo Yuan copied the dead beast’s appearance and convinced them he had won the fight.
• Luo Yuan followed the demon beasts toward their royal clan, where they treated him as a high-status member and assigned him a guard.
• Luo Yuan was taken to the territory of the demon beast king and found it occupied by powerful planetary-level members of the royal clan.
• After seeing a peak planetary-level demon beast, Luo Yuan suspected star-level beings lived in the Core Land and considered how the universe origin might be resisting outside control.

Luo Yuan passed the demon beasts’ scrutiny by posing as a descendant of their king, then returned to his fief after receiving only encouragement from the king. He began absorbing the forest’s Origin Fruits to strengthen his control over origin power and pursue a path to power independent of the universe will.

• Luo Yuan attended the demon beast king’s centennial birthday banquet, concealed his identity, and learned that his assumed form was treated as a royal descendant.
• Luo Yuan kept a low profile at the banquet and privately met the demon beast king, who encouraged him but gave him no resources.
• Luo Yuan returned to his small fief and absorbed its resources containing universe origin power.
• Luo Yuan learned that the forest’s Origin Fruits had different grades and that his supply was among the lowest-grade varieties.
• Luo Yuan resolved to keep strengthening himself and take control of his destiny rather than rely on the universe will for power.

Luo Yuan built his strength and stirred up competition among the Demon Beasts, waiting for human experts to enter the forest and distract them. With his combat strength at the peak Planetary Level and the forest in chaos, he prepared to seize the opportunity while ordering his subordinates to stay outside.

• Luo Yuan gathered information about the forest’s cultivation resources and challenged Demon Beasts to master their innate divine abilities.
• Luo Yuan learned that the Demon Beast King had shortened his lifespan to gain strength and avoided fighting him directly.
• Luo Yuan’s increasingly public challenges led other royal descendants to compete for status and resources, throwing the forest into chaos.
• Human experts entered the forest and began fighting the Demon Beasts, creating an opening for Luo Yuan to act.
• Luo Yuan told his connected subordinates to remain outside the forest while he prepared to take advantage of the fighting.

Luo Yuan exploited the human assault on the Demon Beast Forest to plunder rival treasuries, then revealed his strength and became the forest’s new king. With access to its origin fruits secured, he continued gathering origin force while considering the universe’s damaged origin and the purpose of the assessment.

• Human powerhouses attacked the Demon Beast Forest while its royal family members sent subordinates to fight them.
• Luo Yuan led his followers in raiding the absent royal family members’ treasuries and ignored the demon beast king’s reprimand.
• A powerful royal family member returned to punish Luo Yuan, but Luo Yuan killed him and gained the allegiance of more powerful demon beasts.
• The demon beast king named Luo Yuan as his successor, and Luo Yuan became the new king of the Demon Beast Forest.
• Luo Yuan used the forest’s resources and accumulated origin force while reasoning about the universe origin will and the assessment’s possible goal of creating higher-dimensional Dominators.

Luo Yuan took control of the demon beast forest, drove out the human experts, and gathered its Origin Force resources, reaching the star level. He left a subordinate in charge and prepared to head toward the Wilderness Zone’s core in search of greater resources.

• Luo Yuan claimed the Demon Beast King’s throne and demanded that the forest’s demon beasts hand over most of their treasures.
• Luo Yuan united the demon beasts under his command, and they drove out the human experts seeking the forest’s resources.
• Luo Yuan gathered and consumed the forest’s Origin Force resources, advancing to the star level in less than a year.
• Luo Yuan decided to move toward the Wilderness Zone’s core to seek stronger resources and continue improving his control over Origin Power.
• Luo Yuan appointed a strong subordinate to manage the demon beast forest and provide him with Origin Fruits while he was away.

Luo Yuan continued his solo exploration of the Wilderness Zone, seeking origin-power resources while concealing his true strength and avoiding unnecessary risks. He reached Desolate City, where he began assessing the powerful factions and the resources gathered there.

• Luo Yuan left his subordinates in the Demon Beast Forest and set out alone, suppressing his cultivation to appear like an ordinary planetary-level cultivator.
• Luo Yuan decided to gather origin-power resources in the central region before risking a journey to the Core Land.
• Luo Yuan reached the heart of the central region and discovered Desolate City, a fortified settlement where powerful experts traded and factions had formed.
• The city guards confirmed Luo Yuan had reached the planetary level and allowed him to enter.
• Inside Desolate City, Luo Yuan sensed many experts and noticed that powerful factions and families displayed peak planetary-level auras to intimidate those around them.

Luo Yuan assessed the powerful factions and resource hierarchy in Desolate City and decided to seize control once his strength surpassed its experts. He secretly prepared a barrier to prevent the city’s residents from contacting the Planet Lord while he cultivated and gathered resources.

• Luo Yuan discovered that many residents of the Core Land of the Wilderness Zone had secretly surpassed the Star Level and lived in Desolate City to gain resources and grow stronger.
• Luo Yuan learned that the Planet Lord controlled the planet’s strongest experts and that powerful factions monopolized most resources, leaving ordinary experts with few ways to advance.
• Luo Yuan decided that hunting Demon Beasts and trading for treasures was too inefficient, and planned to take control of the city after raising his strength beyond its experts.
• Luo Yuan began cultivating and discreetly placed specially designed treasures around the city to build a barrier that would restrict communications once activated.
• Luo Yuan planned to use the city’s resources to reach the Planet Lord’s level, then overpower the lord and take control of the planet.

Over several decades, Luo Yuan rose to star level fifth rank and secretly prepared to seize control of Desolate City. After confining the city and using Soul Control on its faction leaders, he took command of the city and ordered its experts to gather resources containing the power of origin.

• Luo Yuan reached star level fifth rank, surpassing the strongest experts in Desolate City, and chose to gather the city's resources before entering the Core Region.
• Luo Yuan planned to control the leaders of the city's families and factions while keeping his own strength and intentions hidden.
• Luo Yuan activated devices that briefly enveloped Desolate City, secretly confining the space around it and preventing its experts from escaping.
• Luo Yuan used aura fluctuations to locate powerful faction members and, in less than half a month, took control of most of the city's leaders with Soul Control methods.
• Within two months, Luo Yuan controlled all of Desolate City and ordered its experts to hand over resources containing the power of origin and collect more in the Wilderness Zone.

Luo Yuan consolidated his control over Desolate City and used its Origin Power treasures to accelerate his cultivation while preparing to challenge the Core Land’s experts. He learned that the Core Land had noticed the missing tribute, and he raced to grow strong enough to face the Planet Lord before his schemes were exposed.

• Luo Yuan reasoned that strength, rather than schemes, controlled the planet, and planned to exploit rivalries among the Core Land’s experts to seize power.
• Luo Yuan controlled Desolate City’s upper ranks and ordered its people to gather Origin Power treasures while keeping information from reaching the Core Land.
• Luo Yuan accumulated the city’s treasures and devoured their power, rapidly increasing his strength while preserving his stable foundation.
• A Core Land expert questioned why the city had stopped sending treasures, and Luo Yuan used excuses to delay suspicion as he feared an investigation or the Planet Lord’s early return.
• Luo Yuan resolved to reach peak star level quickly, believing that controlling the Origin of an independent universe and repairing this universe’s Origin might let him surpass its Origin Will.

Luo Yuan learned that two Star Level Fifth Rank experts had left the Core Land to investigate the missing cultivation resources, so he planned to trap and control them without alerting the others. As he prepared to test his strength, he reflected on how universes' rules and origin wills constrained powerful beings, and on his golden finger's higher-dimensional origin.

• Two Star Level Fifth Rank experts left the Core Land to investigate the delayed resources, and the city’s factions warned Luo Yuan.
• Luo Yuan decided to capture the investigators alive, using a prepared location and a barrier to prevent them from sending information back to the Core Land.
• Luo Yuan planned to use the fight to measure his strength, while recognizing that his abilities from another universe might not work under this universe’s different rules.
• Luo Yuan considered how origin wills controlled cultivation, limited powerful experts, and used them to maintain order across life planets.
• Luo Yuan concluded that his original universe was above level six dimensional civilization and speculated that his golden finger came from a higher-dimensional source.

Luo Yuan realized that the Origin Will was using altered Origin Power to rapidly strengthen experts while subtly controlling them, and suspected it had engineered the Genius Assessment to draw in outsiders. He remained unexposed for now, but feared that growing stronger would make the Origin Will target and control him.

• Luo Yuan sensed that the two investigating experts carried an unfamiliar, substantial origin aura and inferred that their power came from Origin resources gathered beyond the planet.
• Luo Yuan concluded that the Origin Will was manipulating experts through altered Origin Power, which could impair their emotions and eventually make them dependent on it.
• Luo Yuan reasoned that the universe's Origin Will was exploiting its shortage of Origin Force to cultivate powerful beings, despite the damage and lost potential this caused them.
• Luo Yuan suspected that the assessment's organizers had not warned the visiting geniuses because they might already be influenced by the Origin Will.
• Luo Yuan concluded that the Origin Will had sealed the outsiders' strength and was using the assessment to draw them into its cultivation plans, though it had not yet singled him out.

Luo Yuan subdued two powerful beings from the Core Land and planned to infiltrate it, control its leaders, and eventually confront the planet’s absent lord. While preparing his disguise, he discovered that origin power contained the spiritual will of a powerful being, but the chapter left uncertain whether that being’s attempt at control would instead make its targets puppets of the Origin Space.

• Luo Yuan judged that absorbing origin power would bind native powerful beings to the Origin Space, and suspected that powerful beings had altered it to control them.
• Luo Yuan defeated and controlled two Core Land guards, learned their memories, and decided to infiltrate the Core Land rather than risk attracting more powerful beings.
• Luo Yuan planned to control the Core Land’s leaders and later lure back the planet’s lord, confronting him only if the odds favored Luo Yuan.
• Luo Yuan used an improved Transformation Divine Ability to disguise himself as one of the guards, imitating his appearance, soul aura, and origin force.
• Luo Yuan discovered that the origin force contained a powerful being’s spiritual will, which could control those who absorbed it but might ultimately be overridden by the Origin Space’s will.

Luo Yuan entered the Core Land alone under an assumed identity and passed its inspections without raising suspicion. He learned that eight Elders governed the planet in the Planet Lord’s absence, and considered how he might reach them to take control.

• Luo Yuan prepared for hidden rules and possible abilities of the Planet Lord before traveling alone to the Core Land.
• Luo Yuan passed the guards’ soul and mental-aura inspection by posing as Xu Changsheng and explaining his companion’s disappearance and the missing resources.
• The Core Land’s overseer accepted Luo Yuan’s account, while the chapter described how its rulers restricted resources and competition to preserve their positions and serve the Planet Lord.
• Luo Yuan learned that eight Elders were the Core Land’s strongest Star Level experts and effectively ruled the planet while the Planet Lord was away.
• Luo Yuan concluded that challenging the Elders was one route to reaching them, since the Planet Lord’s rules required them to accept challenges for their seats.

Luo Yuan spent twenty years cultivating in the Core Land until he reached star level eight, then applied to challenge the eighth Elder while concealing his true strength. The challenge stirred the Core Land, whose experts awaited the fight as a chance to learn about both combatants and their prospects for advancement.

• Luo Yuan decided to build his strength before confronting the Elders and chose to challenge the weakest one rather than risk fighting them before understanding their abilities.
• Luo Yuan cultivated in seclusion for twenty years without resources and reached star level eight, while the planet and the Core Land continued their routines.
• Luo Yuan decided to claim he had concealed his strength to explain his rapid advancement, then submitted an application to challenge the eighth Elder.
• Luo Yuan's application spread through the Core Land, and the other experts learned that he displayed stellar level seven strength and intended to challenge the Elder.
• The Core Land's experts eagerly anticipated the battle, hoping it would reveal the fighters' abilities and help them prepare for their own advancement.

Luo Yuan challenged the Eighth Elder to claim his position and gain access to the Core Land’s ruling circle. As the experts gathered to watch the duel, Luo Yuan prepared to defeat and control the Elder, while they awaited a display of the Elders’ combat methods.

• The Elders learned that Luo Yuan had formally challenged the Eighth Elder, but most remained focused on cultivation and expected the challenge to fail.
• The Eighth Elder accepted the challenge so he could demonstrate the Elders’ superiority and discourage other experts from seeking their positions.
• Experts from across the Core Land gathered at the arena, hoping to study the Eighth Elder’s techniques and assess the Elders’ strength.
• Luo Yuan entered the arena as the gathered experts pitied him, unaware that he intended to defeat the Eighth Elder and bring him under his control.
• Luo Yuan planned to use the Elder’s position and strength to advance his control over the Core Land’s strongest experts.
