Chapter Summaries

Dongguan learned that the Beast Origin Land could be located through the Trading Land, a city inside a Space Treasure used to gather Law Crystals. After confirming he could escape the Trading Land whenever he wished, he entered the city with Gen Shanchen, Han Hui, and Shen Mo.

• Dongguan chose a residence in Trading City, told Gen Shanchen and the others to rest for ten days, and planned their journey to the Beast Origin Land.

• Dongguan collected the four inheritances he had purchased and met an ornate black-robed man whom he recognized.

Dongguan met Ming Nian, who revealed that he was the reincarnator Di Nian of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s Imperial Clan. After testing Dongguan’s strength and resolving their disagreement over a rejected Retainer invitation, Di Nian befriended him and shared information about the Black Region and the ancient kingdoms.

• Dongguan recalled his earlier meetings with Ming Nian and realized that Ming Nian was the true reincarnator.
• Ming Nian tested Dongguan with a whirlwind of chaos, and Dongguan trapped it with a spatial prison.
• Ming Nian challenged Dongguan over refusing his Retainer invitation, then laughed and introduced himself as Di Nian of the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s Imperial Clan.
• Dongguan introduced himself as an unaffiliated cultivator, and the two agreed to treat each other as friends and equals.
• Di Nian offered Dongguan fruit and wine, then told him about the Black Region, the You Kingdom, the Yao Kingdom, and other powers and cultivation paths.
• Di Nian explained that he had chosen his name after escaping the destruction of his tribe, entering Qu Shi City, and joining the Black Rain Society.

Dongguan learned about the Origin Continent’s power structure and the secrets surrounding its kingdoms from Ming Nian, who later decided to take his team to the Divine Mountain. As Ming Nian worried over the mystery of the Star Correspondence Tower and the Extreme Star Sect, Dongguan prepared to leave with the three Eternal True Gods.

• Dongguan reflected on Ming Nian’s information about the Origin Continent’s powers, including the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms, the first-rate powers, and the Life Mother River.
• At the Yanfeng Guild Hall, Qianying Hall Master asked why Ming Nian had shared information with Dongguan, and Ming Nian explained that building goodwill had value despite not recruiting him.
• Qianying Hall Master reported that the mysterious Chaos Realm cultivator connected to the Star Correspondence Tower might have ties to the former Extreme Star Sect.
• Ming Nian ordered his team to leave the Beast Origin Land’s remaining work to other teams and head to the Divine Mountain to secure an opportunity.
• After the others left, Ming Nian worried about the secrets behind the Star Response Tower and the Extreme Star Sect, which even his access to Imperial Clan intelligence had not revealed.
• Dongguan met the three waiting Eternal True Gods and announced that they would set out.

Dongguan followed Liang Shanchen and his brothers through the Black Region using Liang Shanchen’s ability to trace his past path. They reached the concealed Beast Origin Land, while the brothers remained uncertain whether Dongguan would keep his promise to escort them out.

• Dongguan and the three brothers emerged onto the Black Region Wasteland through a gateway connected to the Trading Land.
• Liang Shanchen summoned an image of his past self to guide them through the Black Region, and Dongguan learned about the brothers’ past travels in the Universe Ocean.
• Dongguan easily dealt with a herd of beasts as they traveled toward the Beast Origin Land.
• Han Hui, Liang Shanchen, and Shen Mo privately wondered whether Dongguan would abandon them or take them out of the Black Region.
• Dongguan spotted a concealed depression ahead and announced that they had reached the Beast Origin Land.

Dongguan studied the Sky Kun Kingdom Lord’s inheritance and reflected on how to overcome mechanical flow’s limits and defeat stronger opponents. At the Beast Origin Land, he prepared to send Liang Shanchen and the other two Eternal True Gods away before exploring its darkness.

• Liang Shanchen reported that they had reached the Beast Origin Land, and Dongguan dismantled and reclaimed the warship he had refined himself.
• Dongguan recalled how studying the material origin Great Dao had improved his mechanical flow methods and shown him how severely it countered mechanical flow treasures.
• Dongguan considered his goal of defeating stronger opponents through survival, prolonged battles, targeted methods, and quantitative force.
• Dongguan looked into the Beast Origin Land’s dark opening, and Gen Shanchen said the Law Beasts there often manifested light and darkness.
• Dongguan told the three Eternal True Gods that he would send them away first.

Dongguan made Liang Shanchen and his two companions sign a contract to keep the Beast Origin Land secret, then used his Independent Space-Time ability to teleport them near the Black Region’s exit. He entered the Beast Origin Land alone while the three decided to stay nearby and cultivate without revealing how quickly they had traveled.

• Dongguan required Liang Shanchen, Han Hui, and Shen Mo to sign a thousand-era contract forbidding them from revealing information about him or the Beast Origin Land.
• Dongguan gave each of the three an Eternal Level law crystal as payment, and they refined the crystals.
• Dongguan tested his teleportation ability with Divine Power Avatars and formed a gateway that sent the three to the Black Region’s exit.
• After the gateway closed, Dongguan entered the Beast Origin Land on foot to explore it alone.
• Liang Shanchen stopped Shen Mo from leaving the Black Region, and the three chose to cultivate near the exit so they would not expose Dongguan’s secret.

Dongguan discovered that the central Law Beast in Beast Origin Land could awaken and draw power from its linked nests, forcing him to face a Chaos Realm peak opponent. Elsewhere, Ming Nian and four allies fought an incomplete Chaos Realm Law Beast, with the group waiting for an opening to support him.

• Dongguan observed Beast Origin Land’s linked nests and found a humanoid Law Beast at its center, whose strength he estimated would reach the late Chaos Realm when fully grown.
• Dongguan emerged from his independent space-time to challenge the humanoid Law Beast, which awakened and completed its wings by weakening the auras of other beasts.
• The humanoid Law Beast reached the Chaos Realm peak, and Dongguan decided to test its weaknesses while relying on his independent space-time to escape danger.
• In another Beast Origin Land, Ming Nian and four allies prepared to defeat an incomplete Chaos Realm Law Beast after clearing away the other beasts.
• Ming Nian opened with a Soul Attack and spear thrust, was knocked flying, then returned to continue fighting while the Qianying Hall Master and the others waited for an opportunity to assist.

Dongguan defeated a Chaos Realm Law Beast and harvested the law crystals from its Beast Origin Land, learning how to manage its nests for future yields. Before setting out for the Central Divine Mountain, he discovered an unmeltable silver token among the materials he had collected.

• Dongguan killed the humanoid Chaos Realm Law Beast and took its Chaos Level law crystal.
• Dongguan searched nearby nests, collected law crystals and weapon fragments, and reviewed how he had worn down the Law Beast and its packs.
• Dongguan concluded that the most efficient hunt was to fully form the lower-level Law Beasts, hunt them outside the nest, and leave the Chaos Realm Law Beast alone.
• Dongguan calculated that the Beast Origin Land could be harvested again in about one epoch and planned to leave an avatar behind while his true body traveled toward the Central Divine Mountain.
• Dongguan found a silver token among the smelted materials that could not be melted and was strong enough to serve as the primary material for a God King Weapon.

Dongguan studied a mysterious token that required God King-level will to use, then cultivated his will while traveling toward the Divine Mountain and gathering Law Crystals. After more than a hundred epochs, his will finally crossed into the God King realm.

• Dongguan learned that the token required God King-level will and decided to cultivate until he reached that threshold.
• Dongguan traveled toward the Divine Mountain aboard his modified warship, avoiding beast herds and killing Eternal True Gods who pursued him for its Chaos Realm treasure.
• Over more than a hundred epochs, Dongguan harvested Law Crystals, explored the nine mountain ranges, and learned that the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms were blocking access to the Divine Mountain.
• Dongguan secluded himself in an independent space-time and cultivated his will until it broke through to the God King realm.

Dongguan broke through to God King-level will and confronted the Primal Universe’s Origin Will, forcing it to reveal the hidden core of the universe origin. There, he encountered the complete life origin great dao and advanced his comprehension, with three origin great daos still remaining.

• Dongguan organized the accumulated contents of the True Explanation of Comprehension and transformed his will from Chaos Realm peak to God King.
• Dongguan entered the Primal Universe, where its Origin Will tried to stop him, but his God King-level will put him in control.
• Dongguan demanded access to the Primal Universe Origin’s hidden knowledge and forced the Origin Will to lower its defenses.
• Dongguan entered the hidden core and encountered the complete life origin great dao, advancing his comprehension to Chaos Realm middle stage.
• Dongguan counted life as the sixth origin great dao he had crossed the threshold of, leaving destruction, world, and extreme point.

Dongguan entered Yuan’s Infinity Space with a strand of consciousness and explored the limits of the physical body and powers he could use there. After gaining a secret art through the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk, he returned to Infinity Space and encountered a hostile living being.

• Dongguan used the silver token to enter Infinity Space, where his consciousness received a powerful physical body but could not use his Origin Great Daos.
• Dongguan explored the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk and glimpsed mysteries of time, space, and the extreme point, creating the secret art “Space-Time Extreme.”
• Dongguan realized that the secret art could penetrate independent space-time and that advanced Origin Great Daos could overcome its defenses.
• Dongguan’s consciousness briefly lost control, causing him to fall into a crater in Infinity Space, where he recovered unharmed.
• A scarlet, cloth-like being emerged from the ground and fixed a hostile eye on Dongguan.

Dongguan defeated a scarlet creature in Infinite Space by turning its mental contamination against it, then gained insight into the immeasurable Great Dao. After the creature vanished, a rule mark appeared on his palm, and Dongguan recognized it as belonging to the Infinite Space Treasury.

• In another world, Red's sky cracked as Blue, White, Purple, Yellow, and other colors invaded and contended with it, while the weak creatures below became pawns in their struggle.
• Dongguan defeated the scarlet creature in Infinite Space, but it revived after its first death and repeatedly challenged him.
• Dongguan realized the creature's life-form left it vulnerable to mental attacks, so he visualized the Shadow of Tamos and caused it to collapse permanently.
• Dongguan gained insight into the positive-negative and being-nonbeing branches of the immeasurable Great Dao, though Infinite Space's rules prevented him from invoking them.
• After the scarlet creature stopped appearing, a rule mark appeared on Dongguan's left palm, which he identified as connected to the Infinite Space Treasury.

Dongguan reviewed his Infinity Space assessment and spent his single reward point on the first volume of the mid-grade inheritance “Myriad Transformation Divine Body.” After studying its requirements and potential, he found it offered two clone techniques, though most of its sections would require further comprehension or access to other origin great daos.

• Infinity Space awarded Dongguan one point for repelling a mind creature and rated his Dao and mental willpower as low.
• Dongguan examined the treasury’s inheritances and noticed that “Myriad Transformation Divine Body” relied on several origin great daos that might help him master a Source World.
• Dongguan exchanged his point for the first volume of “Myriad Transformation Divine Body.”
• Dongguan learned that the volume contained sections for Material, Life, World, and Flame, each requiring specific comprehension, and that mastering its sections could greatly strengthen his foundation.
• Dongguan discovered that the inheritance included the supplementary secret arts “Immeasurable Clone” and “Life Clone.”

Dongguan searched Infinity Space for mental creatures while avoiding territories claimed by powerful factions. Meanwhile, Marquis Bai Sui arrived near the Black Region after gaining new power, and discussed his target and a separate mission with Dark Extreme Great Sage.

• Dongguan found a mental creature in a remote mountain forest and prepared to practice his moves before using Visualization Kill.
• Marquis Bai Sui arrived at Mu Chun City and demanded intelligence from its city lord, who reported that his target remained in the Black Region.
• Marquis Bai Sui left for the Black Region, while the city lord reflected on his subordination to the Thunder Chamber of Commerce, the You Kingdom, and Marquis Bai Sui.
• Marquis Bai Sui met Dark Extreme Great Sage, who urged him to control his new power before pursuing a mission.
• Dark Extreme Great Sage discussed the Star Response Tower's Master and suspected he was a reincarnated God King, while Marquis Bai Sui maintained that Dongguan had provoked him.

Dongguan considered the diminishing rewards in Infinity Space and the abilities of his Myriad Transformation Divine Body before catching an Eternal True God who had been tracking him for a bounty. As Dongguan confronted the spy, Mei Gu Divine Lord’s voice emerged from the mist.

• Dongguan concluded that Infinity Space’s rewards for killing psychic creatures decreased and reconsidered whether redeeming the Myriad Transformation Divine Body had been worthwhile.
• Dongguan reflected on the Myriad Transformation Divine Body’s chapters, his progress in the Origin Great Daos, and the limits and properties of Immeasurable Clone.
• Dongguan spotted a short, gray-furred Eternal True God following his warship and suppressed him as he tried to flee.
• The captive admitted that Mei Gu Divine Lord had offered a bounty for Dongguan’s whereabouts.
• Mei Gu Divine Lord spoke from the mist as Dongguan questioned the captive.

Mei Gu Divine Lord offered Dongguan cooperation and warned him that Marquis Bai Sui awaited him outside the Black Region. Dongguan left without agreeing, then received an offer granting him a choice of Dao platform in exchange for cooperation.

• Dongguan questioned Mei Gu Divine Lord about approaching him after failing to defeat the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms, and she proposed cooperation against their monopoly.
• Mei Gu Divine Lord warned that Marquis Bai Sui was waiting outside the Black Region and might have broken through, while Dongguan said he would consider the offer and returned the Rat-Tailed Eternal True God.
• Mei Gu Divine Lord gave Dongguan a bone Communication Token, and her avatar collapsed after he departed.
• Aboard his warship, Dongguan considered whether he could reconcile with Divine Lord Blood Prisoner for sufficient benefits and recalled how he had obstructed Blood Prisoner's cultivation path.
• Mei Gu Divine Lord sent intelligence about the Ten Dao Platforms and offered Dongguan his choice of any platform except the Supreme Dao Platform, along with help escaping the danger outside the Black Region.

Dongguan learned about the Ten Dao Platforms and sought information from both sides while weighing cooperation with Mei Gu Divine Lord against Ming Nian’s camp. Ming Nian judged that Dongguan was too powerful to eliminate and offered him matching terms, leaving their alliance undecided.

• Dongguan became interested in the Ten Dao Platforms, especially the Supreme Dao Platform, and decided to visit the Trading Land to gather more information.
• Qianying Hall Master told Ming Nian that Dongguan had asked about the Ten Dao Platforms and proposed killing him for appearing to play both sides.
• Ming Nian stopped Qianying Hall Master, explaining that Dongguan’s strength rivaled his own and that an attack would be too risky.
• Ming Nian instructed Qianying Hall Master to offer Dongguan one of the nine spots and information about the special method.
• Ming Nian said he would ask Mingyao God King to protect Dongguan from Marquis Bai Sui if Dongguan placed himself fully under Ming Nian’s command.

Dongguan learned the costs of activating the Dao Platforms and weighed joining the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, the Star Response Tower, or acting alone. He refused to join Yanfeng completely and left still seeking enough Chaos Realm Law Crystals, with no clear path to a Dao Platform or safety from Marquis Bai Sui.

• The Qianying Hall Master offered to have Mingyao God King protect Dongguan from Marquis Bai Sui if Dongguan completely joined the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom, but Dongguan refused and left the Trading Land.
• Dongguan realized Mei Gu Divine Lord had withheld information to steer him toward the Yanfeng Guild Hall and learned that activating the Supreme Dao Platform required 10,081 Chaos Realm Law Crystals.
• Dongguan concluded that the Star Response Tower could protect him from Marquis Bai Sui but joining its hidden forces might antagonize the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms.
• Dongguan considered joining either faction or acting alone, noting that none of these choices offered him a chance at the Supreme Dao Platform and that each carried serious risks.
• Dongguan decided he needed more Chaos Realm Law Crystals, but worried that finding Law Beasts and Beast Origin Lands and gathering enough crystals before the contest would be difficult.
