Chapter Summaries

Li Xin entered the Qianwu Betting Platform and demonstrated overwhelming strength in his first match, earning a large payout as he challenged stronger Star Level fighters. Meanwhile, Man Luo learned that Li Xin had instantly defeated Molly and ordered Ming Yu to recruit Hong and Thunder God first so they could provide information about Li Xin.

• Li Xin registered as a gladiator, exchanged Qianwu Coins for Universe Coins, and challenged fifth-stage Star Level fighters with a 10,000-Universe-Coin stake.
• Lonely Expert accepted Li Xin's challenge, and spectators built a prize pool while most bet against Li Xin.
• Li Xin used Stars Surround the Moon to crush Lonely Expert's metal-domain spear and kill him instantly, winning 810,000 Universe Coins.
• Li Xin continued challenging higher-stage Star Level fighters and staking 10,000 Universe Coins on each match.
• Ming Yu reported that Molly had been killed instantly by Li Xin, and Man Luo asked whether Li Xin could be contacted.
• Ming Yu said he could not reach Li Xin, so Man Luo told him to recruit Hong and Thunder God and ask them about their friend.

Ming Yu invited Hong and Thunder God to join the Virtual Universe Company and asked them to bring Li Xin to him, unaware that Li Xin was dominating the Betting Space as Dugu Qiubai. After hundreds of consecutive wins, Li Xin faced Peak Killer, and their battle began with Li Xin revealing his eightfold light domain.

• Ming Yu invited Hong and Thunder God to join the Virtual Universe Company, and they accepted as external members.
• Hong told Ming Yu that Li Xin was betting in the Ganwu Betting Space, so Ming Yu asked them to invite Li Xin to the Quiet Mind Room when he returned.

• Peak Killer accepted Li Xin's challenge, drawn by the four million Universe Coins at stake, while Feng Ling bet on Li Xin to win again.
• Peak Killer attacked with his fivefold wind domain, and Li Xin countered with his eightfold light domain.

Li Xin defeated Peak Assassin with his newly mastered Star Annihilation Circle technique, then ended ten days of Virtual Universe battles with a fortune of twenty-five trillion Universe Coins. After waking stronger but finding the Eternal Divine Furnace low on energy, he sent Black Iron and a force back to the Milky Way Galaxy to gather resources and build Intermediate Energy Manufacturing Pyramids.

• Li Xin suppressed Peak Assassin's Wind Domain and killed him by splitting the Star Annihilation Circle around his spear, demonstrating his grasp of the law of light and the art's final layer.
• Feng Ling celebrated winning her bet on Li Xin, while Li Xin reviewed the battle and tallied his earnings after ten days and more than five hundred fights.
• Li Xin ignored invitations from numerous factions, logged out of the Virtual Universe, and fell asleep from exhaustion.
• Li Xin woke to find that he had reached Star Level stage six and that the Eternal Divine Furnace Mother Core had only eighty percent of its previous energy.
• Li Xin gave Black Iron ten Space Rings and ordered him to return people to the Milky Way Galaxy, gather resources, and build Intermediate Energy Manufacturing Pyramids.

Li Xin bought Earth through the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and declined Princess Bu Luoxin’s recruitment offer, citing invitations from the Virtual Universe Company and the Giant Axe Arena. He then went to the Universe Galaxy Bank to request intelligent service, where an employee discovered his Three-Star User Account and sought the bank manager’s help.

• Li Xin told Black Iron to use the ten Space Rings and planned to build a Mechanical Puppet factory on Mars and bring Earthlings into the wider universe.
• Li Xin paid an official four billion Qianwu Coins to acquire Earth, and the planet was registered under his ownership within half a day.
• Li Xin met Helen and Princess Bu Luoxin, who offered to recruit him into the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, but he declined and exchanged Virtual Universe contact information with Bu Luoxin.
• Li Xin visited the Universe Galaxy Bank and asked to use its intelligent service.
• The cat-eared bank employee saw Li Xin’s Three-Star User Account and said she needed to report his request to the bank manager.

Li Xin used his three-star Galaxy Bank privileges to buy powerful weapons, World Rings, and supplies for Earth, then tested an SS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent on himself. As the painful transformation began, he used his newly developed Hundred Refinements Spirit-Tempering Method to harden his will.

• Li Xin requested automated service at the Galaxy Bank and bought the Illusion God Weapon, two World Rings, an SS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent, and other items for Earthlings.
• The bank delivered Li Xin’s purchases to his residence within three days.
• Li Xin stored his purchases in a World Ring and began nurturing the Illusion God Weapon with his mental power.
• Li Xin injected the SS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent, which began replacing his Earthling cells with superior genetic cells.
• Li Xin endured the agony and used each wave of pain to temper his will through the Hundred Refinements Spirit-Tempering Method he had developed.

After improving his bloodline, willpower, strength, and mastery of the Law of Light, Li Xin learned that Hong and Thunder God had discovered a dangerous newly emerged world. He rushed to explore it before anyone else could claim its treasures, arriving as the world continued to emerge from the space interlayer.

• Li Xin tested his Hundred Refinements Spirit-Tempering Method and found that his SS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent greatly improved his comprehension of the Law of Light.
• Li Xin absorbed energy, advanced to Star level, seventh order, and grasped the ninth-level Light Domain.
• Hong told Li Xin that he and Thunder God had found a world guarded by holy light that only Star Level beings could enter, and that its monsters had destroyed their Mechanical Puppets.
• Li Xin told Hong and Thunder God to leave the area, then set out to explore the world before anyone else discovered it.
• Thunder God reminded Li Xin that Ming Yu had invited him to join the Virtual Universe Company, but Li Xin postponed discussing it.
• Li Xin reached the world in his Machine Race Spaceship and sensed the dense Law of Light as the world continued emerging from the space interlayer.

Li Xin entered the unknown world, where the Law of Light was unusually powerful, and fought an enormous swarm of Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts. As he slaughtered them, his Light Domain grew stronger, leaving him surrounded but in control of the battle.

• Li Xin confirmed that only Star Level beings could enter the unknown world and brought Lemon and nine Star Level Nine clansmen inside to scout.
• Lemon reported that the world was filled with hostile creatures, and Li Xin entered after judging the danger manageable.
• Li Xin encountered attacking Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts and scanned nearly a hundred thousand nearby, including fifteen at Universe Level.
• Li Xin brought Lemon and the others into his World Ring, then used his Light Domain and Star Annihilation Circle to kill the beasts charging him.
• Li Xin deepened his understanding of the Light Domain during the battle, transforming it so that beasts within it moved at just one-twentieth of their normal speed.

Li Xin fought the Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts in the Holy Light Divine Kingdom, using their Light Domains to improve his own and create a powerful new technique. After he defeated the Universe Level beasts, a Domain Lord Level beast shattered his domain, while Kesha sent Abedo to bring him to her.

• Li Xin released Lemon and the others to fight the Star Level beasts while he faced fifteen Universe Level Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts.
• Li Xin studied the beasts’ Light Domains, incorporated his comprehension of the Law of Light into his own domain, and suppressed their speed.
• Li Xin used Prairie-Blazing Hundred Slashes to kill the Universe Level beasts, while Lemon and the others watched in awe.
• Kesha watched Li Xin’s battle from her palace, judged him a promising successor, and ordered Abedo to bring him to her.
• After Li Xin killed the beasts, Abedo arrived as a Domain Lord Ninth Stage Holy Qilin Tricorn Beast and broke Li Xin’s Light Domain.

Li Xin was taken to the Holy Light Divine Kingdom to undergo Lady Kesha's master's inheritance trial, which required him to master a soul secret technique and climb ten steps within three months. Instead, he used the steps' illusions and soul pressure to temper his will, reaching the ninth step as Kesha watched anxiously.

• Abedo carried Li Xin into the Palace, where Kesha appeared and told him he had passed her trial and must face her master's test or die.
• Kesha sealed the hall and revealed that Li Xin had three months to master the basics of the Seven-Colored Soul-Annihilating Bell and reach the tenth step.
• Li Xin tested the steps without learning the technique, endured the pressure and illusions through the fifth step, and chose to use them to improve his Hundred Refinements Spirit-Tempering Method.
• Li Xin spent a day on the sixth step, five days on the seventh, six days on the eighth, and seven days on the ninth, while Kesha worried that he was ignoring the intended technique.

Li Xin endured the tenth layer’s Domain Lord-level soul pressure, mastered the first level of the Seven-Colored Soul-Annihilating Bell, and passed Caesar’s trial. Kesha revealed Caesar’s legacy and handed it to Li Xin, who realized she planned to remain in the collapsing divine kingdom.

• Kesha hoped Li Xin could survive the tenth layer and eventually avenge her master.
• Li Xin endured eight days of soul pressure on the tenth step, then learned the first level of the Seven-Colored Soul-Annihilating Bell in one day.
• After Li Xin mastered the technique, the soul pressure vanished, and Caesar declared him his successor.
• Kesha explained that Caesar, the Illusory Light Marquis, had been killed by Soul-Annihilating King Fleming and asked Li Xin to seek revenge if he reached King level.
• Kesha gave Li Xin Caesar’s World Rings, collected legacies, and bank account details, then Li Xin asked whether she intended to stay in the collapsing divine kingdom.

Kesha chose to shut down her program and wait in case Li Xin could one day resurrect her master, while giving Li Xin a backup of her memories and experience. Li Xin learned the Thousand-Soul Slave Seal and emerged to face the Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts he hoped to take with him.

• Kesha told Li Xin she planned to fade away with her master's divine kingdom, but Li Xin persuaded her to wait for the possibility that he could resurrect her master.
• Kesha agreed to shut down her program and gave Li Xin the optical computer containing a backup of her memories and experience.
• Li Xin asked whether the Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts were the only creatures left in the divine kingdom, and Kesha said they were loyal to her master but should be enslaved before leaving.
• Li Xin learned the Thousand-Soul Slave Seal, mastering it in half a month with help from his Eternal Divine Brain.
• Li Xin left the Palace, and the Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts guarding it turned to look at him.

Li Xin used the Seven-Colored Soul-Annihilating Bell to make the Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts loyal and enslaved their strongest leaders before escaping the Holy Light Divine Kingdom. He left with Abedo and the Palace, causing the divine kingdom to collapse while Jon and Mackay watched from outside.

• Li Xin activated the Seven-Colored Soul-Annihilating Bell, and the Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts recognized him as their master, though Kesha warned their loyalty was not absolute.
• Li Xin enslaved Abedo and the other three Domain Lord Ninth Stage Holy Qilin Tricorn Beasts, then ordered Abedo to gather their kin into a World Ring.
• Jon and Mackay discovered the Holy Light Divine Kingdom but could not enter because it was sealed.
• Kesha warned Li Xin that outsiders were finding the kingdom, opened the passage beneath the Palace, and shut down her program to sleep in her Optical Computer.
• Li Xin took Kesha's Optical Computer and the Palace, then escaped with Abedo, causing the Holy Light Divine Kingdom to collapse.
• Jon and Mackay regretted not reporting the unexplored world sooner and searched for anything valuable left after its collapse.

Li Xin left the Holy Light Divine Kingdom with Abedo and began sorting through the Illusory Light Marquis’s inheritance while heading to Qiu Long Star. He stopped at the Universe Galaxy Bank to check the balance of the account Kesha had given him, leaving the amount unknown.

• Li Xin brought Abedo out into the Cosmic Starry Sky, taught him about the universe, and arranged Virtual Universe accounts and inheritances for him and the others.
• Li Xin contacted Hong and Thunder God on Qiu Long Star and promised them a gift before setting out to meet them.
• Li Xin identified the Sky Star Battle Armor among the Illusory Light Marquis’s inheritance and considered raising the metal lifeform to boost his strength.
• Li Xin went to the Universe Galaxy Bank, entered a VIP room, and asked the automated service to check the Hunyuan Units in Kesha’s account.

Li Xin unlocked the Illusory Light Marquis's account and spent much of its 7.08 million Hunyuan Units on equipment, cultivation resources, and materials. He left with 3.8 million Hunyuan Units and planned to earn more by producing energy pyramids and Machine Race Spaceships.

• Li Xin verified his psychic signature, discovered the account held 7.08 million Hunyuan Units, and transferred one million Hunyuan Units into each of two anonymous accounts for Hong and Thunder God.
• Li Xin rejected the expensive time-related lifeforms listed by Universe Galaxy Bank and chose to buy a Star-Swallowing Willow seedling and a Star Devourer Bamboo seedling.
• Li Xin bought all eight remaining SSS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent doses, along with weapons, World Rings, Sky Star Fruits, nutrient solutions, Cloud-Touching Vine seedlings, and cultivation materials.
• Li Xin selected secret techniques for Hong and Thunder God, bought the Holy Light Compass, three World Source Fruits for Abedo and the others, and materials for the Sky Star Battle Armor.
• Li Xin bought ten million tonnes each of D9-class and E9-class metal, planning to use them to build energy pyramids and Machine Race Spaceships for sale.
• Li Xin paid for his purchases, leaving 3.8 million Hunyuan Units in the account; the E9-class metal had cost him the most.

Li Xin gave Hong and Thunder God lavish gifts purchased with wealth from the Holy Light Divine Kingdom, explaining how he had obtained the legacy and warning them to keep their assets and abilities hidden. He tailored techniques, weapons, and AI assistants to each brother, and Thunder God joked that Li Xin was treating him like a sugar baby.

• Li Xin collected his confidential delivery from the Universe Galaxy Bank and returned to his estate on Qiu Long Star.
• Li Xin gave Hong and Thunder God evolution agents, cultivation resources, secret techniques, and anonymous accounts holding one million Hunyuan units each.
• Hong and Thunder God questioned whether they deserved such valuable gifts, and Li Xin explained that he had inherited an Immortal Level expert's estate in the Holy Light Divine Kingdom and received most of its 7.08 million Hunyuan units.
• Li Xin urged Hong and Thunder God to conceal their wealth, then recommended Holy Light Illusion Realm for Hong and Thunder Tribulation Lightning Blade for Thunder God.
• Li Xin gave them C9 Rank Laser Guns and valuable AI assistants, and Thunder God joked that Li Xin was keeping him as a sugar baby.

Li Xin prepared Hong and Thunder God for the 2066 Genius Battle, returned with them toward Earth, and created Mona to manage his affairs. After taking an SSS-Class Bloodline Evolution Agent, he greatly improved his ability to sense the law of time, while the Virtual Universe Company continued trying to recruit him.

• Li Xin told Hong and Thunder God to remain at Star Level Nine, train in domains and laws, and prepare for the Genius Battle in 2066.
• Li Xin, Hong, and Thunder God decided to return to Earth and left Qiu Long Star.
• Aboard the spaceship, Li Xin made the Star-Swallowing Willow, Star Devourer Bamboo, and Sky Star Battle Armor acknowledge him as their master and gave them cultivation resources.
• Li Xin created Mona using Kesha's appearance and data, gave her a new name, and assigned her to devise a development plan for Earth.

• Man Luo told Ming Yu to keep searching for Li Xin and recruit him before another faction could do so.

Li Xin’s Mechanical Puppets captured the newly hatched Golden Horned Beast on Earth, and Babata urged Luo Feng to trade for it so he could possess its body. When Li Xin arrived to inspect the beast, he released it from the Lightning Net and subdued it with the Soul-Swinging Bell.

• Li Houming stopped unrest in the Base Cities while Li Xin, Hong, and Thunder God were away, and Earth’s detectors later spotted the Golden Horned Beast’s egg landing on Hawaii Island.
• Xuanjin sent ten Mechanical Puppets to capture the newly hatched Golden Horned Beast, crippling it with B9 Grade Laser Cannons and trapping it in a Lightning Net.
• Babata discovered the captured beast and urged Luo Feng to ask Li Xin for a trade, hoping Luo Feng could possess its body with the Master’s Possession Secret Technique.
• Luo Feng agreed to meet Li Xin, who returned to Earth and went to the beast’s holding site.
• Li Xin ordered Xuanjin to release the Lightning Net, and the Golden Horned Beast charged at him before the Soul-Swinging Bell overwhelmed its soul and put it to sleep.

Li Xin abandoned his attempt to fuse with the Golden Horned Beast after the Will of the Original Universe intervened to prevent it from inheriting the beast’s clone talent. Earth returned to normal, and Li Xin prepared to learn why Luo Feng had come to his territory.

• Li Xin attempted to fuse Eternal Divine Brain No. 3 with the sleeping Golden Horned Beast, but the Will of the Original Universe froze Earth during the fusion.
• Eternal Divine Brain No. 3 reported that continuing would eliminate the Golden Horned Beast’s clone talent while enhancing its other talents, so Li Xin abandoned the fusion.
• Li Xin decided the Golden Horned Beast was unsuitable and considered using a Zerg Mother Emperor clone to aid future gene research.
• The Will of the Original Universe withdrew, and Earth resumed normal activity without anyone else noticing what had happened.
• Luo Feng approached Li Xin’s territory, but Xuanjin blocked him until Li Xin ordered Xuanjin to let him through.

Luo Feng and Babata negotiated with Li Xin to obtain the Golden Horned Beast in exchange for Hu Yanbo’s inheritance, ship, and wealth. After Li Xin added equipment and training supplies to the deal, Luo Feng accepted him as his big brother.

• Li Xin demanded the Yunmo Star Ship’s legacies, the damaged ship, the Machine Race corpse, and Hu Yanbo’s bank inheritance in exchange for the Golden Horned Beast.
• Babata accepted Li Xin’s offer, and they completed the transaction through the Virtual Universe Company’s guarantee service.
• Li Xin gave Luo Feng additional nutrient pods, nutrient solution, and four C8-grade Mechanical Puppets to help him grow and contain the beast.
• Babata proposed that Luo Feng become Li Xin’s little brother, and Luo Feng bowed to accept Li Xin as his big brother.

Li Xin reunited Luo Feng with Hong and Thunder God as his fourth brother, then returned to Earth and planned how to strengthen it and its people. The chapter left Li Xin and his family preparing to bring Earth into contact with the universe while removing untrustworthy people from Earth.
