Chapter Summaries

Dongguan struggled through the Universe Boat’s oily mist on his way toward the Black Pattern Stone Pillar, while Chen Feng reunited with his former disciple Mo Heng on the Origin Source Continent and learned the history of Earthstar ascension. Mo Heng explained that Earthstar had become sealed, and the chapter left Chen Feng considering the world’s unusual restrictions as spaceships from the Star Worlds arrived outside it.

• Dongguan used the Blood Sand Map to clear a path through the Universe Boat’s explosive oily mist and estimated that reaching the Black Pattern Stone Pillar would take several hundred years.

• Chen Feng learned that the Origin Source Continent lay on the reverse side of Earthstar’s world and that Earthstar arrivals had once reached it through ascension.
• Mo Heng recounted how Earthstar ascenders gained power and territory, then divided from the continent’s native residents over access to resources.
• Mo Heng told Chen Feng that Earthstar had become enclosed by a membrane, leaving ascension as the only way out until spaceships from the Star Worlds arrived outside it.

Mo Heng explained to Chen Feng how disputes over resources and favoritism divided ascenders and natives, then recounted how conflict with the Star Worlds changed the Earthstar World and sharply reduced the number of ascenders. Chen Feng realized that, as a Peak World Lord, he could not return to Earthstar.

• Mo Heng explained that ascenders once received preferential treatment, but natives demanded equal competition and some later sought compensation from the ascenders for past unfairness.
• Mo Heng admitted that he had supported sharing resources, but growing exploitation and resentment split the ascenders from the natives while the Star Worlds renewed their attack.
• Mo Heng said the Star Worlds reached Earthstar, where their visitors enslaved people and were eventually slaughtered; Earthstar survivors who reached Planetary Level could not return and built stellar fortresses instead.
• Chen Feng concluded that he could not return to Earthstar, especially given the matter-exchange requirement for entering it.

Chen Feng learned that the Skywatching Master had allowed him to return to the Divine Kingdom but would not let him enter the Earthstar World. He decided to use a Mechanical Puppet to visit his homeworld from within its barrier.

• Chen Feng considered how Earthstar World had changed and concluded that a civilization’s shared history could be more fascinating than an individual’s growth.

• Dongguan’s original body reached the Black Pattern Stone Pillars in the guise of Bai Yu Master after more than three hundred years of travel.
• Dongguan used several Teleportations to reach the region’s center, where he saw the sixteen enormous Black Pattern Stone Pillars.

Dongguan arrived at the No. 13 Black Pattern Stone Pillar to temper his will and compensate for his vulnerability to the Blood Sea Demon Armor. He advanced beyond the usual limits for Universe Masters, drawing the attention of nearby observers as Master Ziyu went to alert Jingyan Master.

• Dongguan chose the No. 13 Black Pattern Stone Pillar to avoid the more dangerous areas associated with Blood Orchid Ancestor and Rampaging Demon God.

• Jingyan Master attacked Dongguan without warning with soul-path techniques and surging white light.

Dongguan fought Jingyan Master while struggling with flaws in his partially adjusted consciousness structure, which made him vulnerable to spatial misalignment. He overcame the disadvantage by closing in and trapping Jingyan Master, leaving his opponent facing certain death.

• Dongguan's disrupted perception caused his attacks to miss and Jingyan Master's white beast to wound him, but he recognized flaws in his consciousness structure.
• Jingyan Master exploited Dongguan's misalignment with repeated Soul Attacks, while Dongguan struck the white beast with Years Tribulation and cracked its ruler form.

He broke through at the region where time flowed 10,081 times faster, but continued forward with regret that his consciousness optimization remained incomplete.

• Dongguan spent roughly two months refining his consciousness as the Day-Chiming Palace moved into regions of increasingly accelerated time, reaching 10,000 times faster.
• Dongguan realized his control over his consciousness let him endure willpower pressure beyond the usual limit for peak Universe Masters and concluded that a breakthrough was near.

Star True Master pursued Bai Yu Master into Mirror Maze City, believing the terrain could not threaten him and that Black Universe Founder would not arrive in time. Hidden in the depths, Dongguan used a light-and-shadow avatar to harry Star True Master and considered how the technique could aid battles between Universe Strongest Ones.
