Chapter Summaries

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.

• 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.

Luo Yuan challenged the Eighth Elder, intending to defeat and control him so he could obtain valuable information and move closer to becoming the ultimate Controller. He revealed powerful blade techniques that impressed the arena spectators and forced the Eighth Elder to treat him as a serious opponent.

• The Core Land cultivators regarded Luo Yuan's challenge to the weakest Elder as legitimate under their rules, though they expected him to lose.
• Luo Yuan rejected the idea of serving an Elder and resolved to defeat the Eighth Elder and inspect his memories.
• Luo Yuan began the fight with blade techniques, which he had developed using his experience and the world's rules.
• The spectators recognized Luo Yuan's precise, efficient blade work and reconsidered their low expectations of him.
• The Eighth Elder struggled under Luo Yuan's speed and blade intent, then acknowledged him as an opponent on his level.

Luo Yuan fought the Eighth Elder while reasoning that the universe’s Origin Will was using tainted Origin Power to control outsiders and save itself from destruction. The battle left the spectators amazed by Luo Yuan’s strength and learning ability, while he prepared to leave the planet and pursue his plans.

• Luo Yuan concluded that the Origin Will might be behind the assessment and could use tainted Origin Power to control promising outsiders and steal power from their home universes.
• Luo Yuan decided to keep accumulating Origin Power without absorbing it until he could purify it, then use it to gain control over the Origin Will.
• Luo Yuan continued fighting the Eighth Elder, studying his techniques and earning his respect despite the Elder’s formidable Star Level combat strength.
• The Eighth Elder grew alarmed as Luo Yuan matched his full strength, adapted to his methods, and showed no signs of tiring.
• The watching powerhouses admired Luo Yuan but worried that his rise could threaten their own ambitions to become the planet’s lord.

Luo Yuan defeated the eighth Elder, gained Elder-level privileges, and used them to explore the planet’s virtual network and available inheritances. He created a World Lord Level inheritance and began selling it for resources while delaying further challenges and continuing to plan how to control the other Elders and the Planet Lord.

• Luo Yuan defeated the eighth Elder with a self-created blade technique and took his position, gaining Elder-level access to resources and inheritances.
• Luo Yuan decided not to use Soul Control on the eighth Elder and postponed challenging the other Elders while assessing his next steps.
• Luo Yuan used a Virtual Helmet to learn that the planet belonged to a Planet Lord within a remote region of a powerful cosmic empire.
• Luo Yuan studied the Planet Lord’s inheritances and conceived of creating one that could subtly cultivate loyalty in those who learned it.
• Luo Yuan created a World Lord Level inheritance and listed it on the virtual network, where powerful figures bought it and his income quickly increased.

Luo Yuan secretly sold legacies, advanced to Star Level Peak, and brought the planet’s remaining elders under his control. After learning that the lord was only at early Universe Level, he arranged to lure him back by reporting nearby Star Pirates, intending to subdue him.

• Luo Yuan anonymously sold legacies in the Virtual Universe and planned to avoid the origin will until he became powerful enough to control it.

• Luo Yuan defeated every expert who challenged him, including the eighth elder, and earned recognition from the remaining elders.
• Luo Yuan secretly brought the remaining elders under his control and learned that the lord was only at early Universe Level.
• Luo Yuan had the First Elder contact the lord with a false warning about Star Pirates, expecting him to return so Luo Yuan could subdue him.

Luo Yuan prepared to leave the planet if its lord failed to return, but the lord eventually came back with Universe Level combat strength. Luo Yuan and the controlled Elders trapped him in an isolated space and began a combined assault, leaving him convinced he was in grave danger.

• Luo Yuan waited for the lord to answer his warning about the Star Pirates while gathering the planet’s resources and preparing to explore the universe if the lord did not return.
• The lord sent word that he had overcome a danger and was heading back, so Luo Yuan ordered the controlled Elders to reset their traps.
• After several months, the lord returned with an aura that gave him Universe Level combat strength and praised Luo Yuan’s displayed abilities.
• When the lord asked about the Star Pirates, Luo Yuan isolated the space around him, trapping him with the Elders he had turned against their former master.
• Luo Yuan and the Elders activated a formation that combined their power, making the lord realize he might not survive the battle.
