Chapter Summaries

After Qian Shishi was killed, Qin Feng began his third cycle as an archer and faced growing opposition from players who wanted to prevent another reset.

• Thousands of Cycle Guild members protected Qin Feng as the guild grew into the world’s dominant power.
• Qin Feng realized the challenge’s clear condition likely had something to do with the cycle.

Qin Feng suspected the challenge required the world to avoid cycling for years, so he stopped leveling and tested whether someone else reaching level 50 would trigger a reset. An Yu reached level 50, and the world entered its fourth cycle save.

• Qin Feng reasoned that the challenge might require the world to develop without another cycle and that the Cycle Pigeons’ request for ten portions of food hinted at ten chances.

• Just over a month after Qin Feng stopped leveling, An Yu reached level 50, and the world reset into the fourth cycle save.

Qin Feng completed the Level 100 Path of Finality Challenge and received the Cycle Eye, gaining a passive boost to his Four-Dimensional Attributes and the power to rewind the world after his complete death. He learned that the world had already undergone eight cycles and discovered he could not trigger the power by killing himself.

• Qin Feng returned to the mist-shrouded space, where the Cycle Pigeon brothers awarded him the Cycle Eye for completing the challenge.

Qin Feng entered the Judgment Challenge in Highest Heaven and faced the level 150 Demon Clan’s Most Handsome Man, whose formidable attributes and authorities made him a dangerous opponent. After comparing their strength, Qin Feng remained confident he could overcome even the challenge’s highest attribute multiplier.

• Qin Feng arrived in the Judgment Space, where Ink Water Immortal warned him that his next opponent was a level 150 being who had developed in Highest Heaven for two and a half years.

• First Handsome Man struggled against Qin Feng’s invisible Shadow Blade Spinning Blades while focus grand authority suspended the damage and attack effects accumulating on him.

• A new Order Home Star Reflection appeared near Blue Star Civilization and drew in four civilization home stars, including the Divine Mechanism Civilization.

Qin Feng learned that the Divine Mechanism Civilization and Silver-Gray Civilization had arrived near a new Order Home Star Reflection, and planned to bring the Heavenly Sword Civilization under his control as well.

• Ai Ya Qian explained that the Divine Mechanism Civilization and Silver-Gray Civilization had defeated rival civilizations through unity, early advantages, and powerful forces.

• Ai Ya Qian rebuked the elders and told them to follow Qin Feng’s orders.

After the Heavenly Sword Civilization voted to join Blue Star, its people worried as Blue Star approached the Divine Mechanism and Silver-Gray Civilizations over a newly appeared Order Home Star Reflection.

• Ai Ya Qian led the Heavenly Sword Civilization in an overwhelming vote to become a subordinate civilization of Blue Star, and Qin Feng named its Order Home Star world Heavenly Sword World.

• The Divine Mechanism Civilization identified Shadow from its records and sent a delegation to discuss joining forces with Blue Star against the Silver-Gray Civilization.
• The Silver-Gray Civilization’s Insect Race queen also decided to meet Blue Star and propose an alliance against the Divine Mechanism Civilization.

Silver-Wing Queen Delamus led two insect queens from the Silver-Gray Civilization toward Blue Star to negotiate with Dark Shadow, only to find three Divine Mechanism lifeforms pursuing the same goal. Qin Feng met both delegations at the edge of the Dijue Domain, prepared to hear their proposals rather than risk a costly war.

• The Silver-Gray Civilization’s insect populations spread across 38 Blueprint Worlds and generated vast lifespan income, though Qin Feng prioritized the adoration of his players over raising taxes.
• Silver-Wing Queen Delamus set out with the Snow-Wing and Purple-Wing queens to seek cooperation with Dark Shadow at the Black Empress Queen’s command.
• Delamus and her companions spotted three Divine Mechanism lifeforms heading to Blue Star and raced them there using her space minor authority.
• Qin Feng detected both delegations through Shadow Perception and maintained the Dijue Domain around Blue Star.
• Qin Feng reasoned that conquering either civilization was impractical and that destroying them would invite hatred without benefiting him, so he went alone to meet the visitors.
• The three Divine Mechanism lifeforms and three insect queens arrived before Qin Feng at the edge of the Dijue Domain.
