Chapter Summaries

After gaining the Bone High Minor Authority, Qin Feng discovered its defensive bonuses and the Bones Apostle ability, which let him empower a consenting target with some of his bones. He brought Gui Ling back to test whether his blood source kin could also become a Bones Apostle, and she watched as he pulled a rib from his chest.

• Qin Feng examined the Bone High Minor Authority, which boosted his defense and resistance, granted damage adaptation, and let him create Bones Apostles.
• Qin Feng calculated that the bone high and ordinary minor authorities together multiplied his physical defense by six and his all-element resistance by three.
• Great Swordsman Talomon and the others told Qin Feng that the Bones and Soul Seizure factions were allies and that a Soul Seizure grand authority inheritor could help him at Highest Heaven.
• Qin Feng suspected the other grand authority inheritor might try to kill him and steal his authority, so he resolved to stay on guard.
• Qin Feng summoned Gui Ling from the Magic City Game Zone to test whether his blood source kin could become a Bones Apostle.
• Gui Ling returned to Evil Spirit Academy and watched Qin Feng reach into his chest and pull out a rib.

Qin Feng made Gui Ling his Bones Apostle by fusing one of his ribs into her, granting them both powerful attribute bonuses. After dropping her off at a leveling area, he went to the Abyss Gate to challenge the level 70 Path of Finality.

• Qin Feng pulled out a rib and explained to Gui Ling that fusing with it would make her his Bones Apostle, with the condition that he could control her body.

• Gui Ling trusted Qin Feng and resolved to remain cautious, while Qin Feng considered making Verzhini and Shulakimir Bones Apostles too.
• Qin Feng dropped Gui Ling off at a leveling area and headed to the Abyss Gate to challenge the level 70 Path of Finality.

Qin Feng entered the fifth stage of the Path of Finality, where he had to catch Yue Shangyan’s invisible phantom despite shifting spatial directions. The challenge began with Qin Feng testing the reversed directions, leaving him to rely on his perception to pursue her.

• Qin Feng arrived in a vast mirrored space and saw his reflection beneath him.
• Yue Shangyan appeared as a transparent figure beside Qin Feng and recognized him as a challenger from a cycle civilization.
• Yue Shangyan explained that catching her invisible phantom in the Real World would earn points, while the Mirror World revealed her location.
• Yue Shangyan warned that spatial directions would reverse and then shift more frequently after each catch.
• Qin Feng began the challenge and found that flying forward moved him backward.

Qin Feng began Yue Shangyan’s mirror challenge and quickly completed its first wave by overcoming the reversed directional controls. As the second wave made the deflection change every second, he continued closing in on her with precise, rapid adjustments.

• Qin Feng tested how the trial’s reversed directions affected his movements and chose to begin without extra practice.
• When the countdown ended, Yue Shangyan moved rapidly through the mirror while Qin Feng pursued and touched her invisible phantom in three seconds.
• Yue Shangyan remarked that Qin Feng’s quick changes of direction set him apart from other challengers.
• The second wave began, changing the directional deflection every second and forcing Qin Feng to stop, recalibrate, and pursue repeatedly.
• Qin Feng executed the repeated adjustments with exceptional speed and kept closing the distance to Yue Shangyan.

Qin Feng caught Yue Shangyan's phantom through the tenth wave of the Path of Finality Challenge by adapting to increasingly rapid spatial shifts and boosting his attributes. Yue Shangyan paused the challenge and offered him a final test: survive her pursuit under the thirteenth wave's conditions for a chance at the ultimate reward.

• Qin Feng pursued Yue Shangyan through successive waves as the space's directions shifted faster and faster.
• Yue Shangyan marveled at Qin Feng's attributes, reactions, and control as he reached the tenth wave, where directions shifted 512 times per second.
• Qin Feng activated Holy Angel's Protection and Divine Bone Sword, summoned Osilio, and used Fallen Abyss Hand to steal Osilio's attributes before catching Yue Shangyan again.
• Yue Shangyan paused the challenge and proposed skipping to a final pursuit with 4,096 directional shifts per second, giving Qin Feng a sixty-second head start.
• Yue Shangyan promised Qin Feng the stage's ultimate reward and an extra reward if he survived her chase for sixty seconds, but said he would receive only the tenth-wave reward if she caught him.

Qin Feng accepted Yue Shangyan’s modified thirteenth-wave challenge, which offered an extra reward if he avoided her phantom. After using Shadow Incarnation to flee at greater speed, he reached the sixty-second mark, and Yue Shangyan began pursuing him.

• Qin Feng asked Yue Shangyan to issue a system quest before he agreed to skip directly to the thirteenth wave.
• Yue Shangyan issued the modified challenge, and Qin Feng accepted it.
• Qin Feng prepared to evade her phantom in a space where directions shifted 4,096 times per second.
• Qin Feng activated Shadow Incarnation as the challenge began and vanished at three times his usual maximum movement speed.
• Qin Feng traveled 118,000 kilometers in the first sixty seconds, then Yue Shangyan sent her phantom after him at twice his speed.

• Qin Feng sensed Yue Shangyan chasing him at over four thousand kilometers per second and increased his speed as he adapted to the shifting directions.
• Yue Shangyan closed in, but Qin Feng used Calamity Murmurs to mark her as hostile and trigger the Lone Wolf Action Order.
• Qin Feng's skill-range bonuses expanded the Order's detection range, letting him repeatedly double his speed whenever Yue Shangyan came within range.
• Qin Feng explained that keeping an Osilio-summoned Bone Sword Pterosaur minion nearby would have forced him to calculate its separate directional shifts.
• The challenge timer expired before Yue Shangyan caught Qin Feng, and the system declared his challenge successful.

Qin Feng earned first place on the Path of Finality leaderboard with a score 144 times higher than the previous record, astonishing Yue Shangyan with how quickly he had progressed. When he found the stage-clear reward could not benefit him because he already had three talents, the system announced that he would receive a different reward based on his first-place result.

• The system calculated Qin Feng’s score at 144 times the previous leaderboard leader’s, and Yue Shangyan was shocked by his result and his 4.85 game-time multiplier.
• Qin Feng explained that he had entered the game 155 days earlier and reached level 70 as a player from a cycle civilization.
• Yue Shangyan presented the stage-clear reward, offering to unlock a second talent or raise an existing talent by two grades.
• Qin Feng told Yue Shangyan that he had already unlocked and maxed out his second and third talents, then asked her to unlock a fourth.
• Yue Shangyan said she lacked the authority to unlock a fourth talent, and the system announced that Qin Feng would receive a new reward for meeting none of the stage-clear reward’s conditions and placing first.

Qin Feng received the Primordial Divine Book of Talent Seeds, which gave him rapid daily growth, and learned that Yue Shangyan could grant him Grand Authorities. He left the chapter seeking to find out what he must do to satisfy her.

• Yue Shangyan explained that Qin Feng's combined challenge reward was the Primordial Divine Book of Talent Seeds.

• Qin Feng asked Yue Shangyan whether he could get a free Grand Authority by choosing option one.

• Yue Shangyan explained that the Yue Shang Mirror absorbed the souls of those Qin Feng killed, though he could disable the effect and lose his immunity to soul damage.
• Yue Shangyan gave Qin Feng the Mist of Chaos, granting him the grand authority of chaos and abilities that strengthened his chaos attacks and divinity limit.
• Qin Feng recognized how valuable the authority was and considered how it would add to the other authorities and divinity limits he needed to develop.
• Yue Shangyan asked Qin Feng to send her souls in exchange for more grand authorities, and Qin Feng requested a progress tracker for earning them.
• Qin Feng argued that the inheritors of grand authorities would eventually fight to the death at the Highest Heaven, but Yue Shangyan refused to provide a tracker and said he had to take things slowly.

Qin Feng learned that a rival inheritor of the Soul Grand Authority was approaching Highest Heaven and would need to be intercepted in the Old-Day Battlefield. He returned to Blue Star with the Yue Shang Mirror, while Yue Shangyan asked him to show her the outside world.

• Qin Feng reflected on Yue Shangyan’s power and decided to strengthen his divinity limit by hunting demons with the Demon Lure.
• Yue Shangyan urged Qin Feng to stay and enter her Mirror World, but he refused because he lacked the Soul Grand Authority.
