• A calm, puzzled voice asked what Lin Lei and Jin were talking about.

After Chu Tiannan revealed the power of his Chaos Wings, he realized they had drawn unwanted attention in Five Emperors City. The Crimson Flame Emperor then arrived in person with a gift for Chu Tiannan.

• The Crimson Flame Emperor personally brought Chu Tiannan a heavy iron chest and encouraged him to open it.

• Luo'er gestured for the others to leave and looked back at Chu Tiannan with affection before departing.

• Chu Tiannan studied the Star God Force Multiplier Amplification Art on the Enraptured Heart Pavilion’s rooftop terrace and felt its teachings suddenly become clear.

• Chu Tiannan learned that Star God Power grew stronger through compression and that its force multiplier, rather than cultivation level alone, determined strength.

• Beneath the Pacific Ocean, Chu Tiannan’s enormous purple figure roared, opened its eyes, and looked into the deeper abyss.

Chu Tiannan discovered that the Bauhinia Star Beast could not yet compress its growing Star God Power because the Star Beast Sacred Art required the Cosmic Venerable Lesser Perfection realm. He set the matter aside and turned his attention to the abyss beneath the seabed.

• Chu Tiannan found that the Star God Force Multiplier Amplification Art could not be cultivated by the Bauhinia Star Beast because it was designed for human physiques.
• While searching his inherited memories, Chu Tiannan discovered the Star Beast Sacred Art, which could strengthen a Primordial Star Beast by compressing its power up to 10,086 times.
• Chu Tiannan learned that the Star Beast Sacred Art required at least the Cosmic Venerable Lesser Perfection realm, so his Bauhinia Star Beast clone could not use it yet.
• Chu Tiannan concluded that the Bauhinia Star Beast was still growing and needed to keep cultivating until it reached the Cosmic Venerable Level.
• With his main body cultivating at the Cosmic Stele, Chu Tiannan gazed toward the abyss beneath the seabed and prepared to go down there.

Chu Tiannan descended beneath the seabed in the Bauhinia Star Beast, using his soul perception to see through the darkness as the oppressive force grew stronger. He discovered a colossal living face in the depths and realized the openings he had entered before were its nostrils.

• Chu Tiannan plunged beneath the seabed in the Bauhinia Star Beast and noted that the oppressive force was stronger than on his previous visit.

• Chu Tiannan sensed that the giant face was still alive and suppressed the Bauhinia Star Beast's aura.
• Chu Tiannan recognized the two openings he had entered before as the face's nostrils.

Chu Tiannan encountered a colossal sleeping being beneath the seabed and was blasted away when it sneezed, then continued studying a Star God cultivation manual in Five Emperors City. After a century of study, he remained stuck at 999-fold Star God Power compression but noticed something strange about the stars overhead.

• Chu Tiannan saw a gigantic living face beneath the seabed, and its sneeze blasted the Bauhinia Star Beast away.
• The Bauhinia Star Beast fled the deep region and resolved to return after becoming a Cosmic Venerable.
• Chu Tiannan spent a hundred years studying the Star God Force Multiplier Amplification Art on the rooftop of the Enraptured Heart Pavilion.
• Chu Tiannan realized he had remained at 999-fold Star God Power compression for ten years without reaching the thousandfold threshold.
• Chu Tiannan studied the starry sky above Five Emperors City and noticed that its stars seemed unfixed.

Chu Tiannan talked with Alita beneath the stars above Five Emperors City and learned that her Mechanical Angel Clan core let her grow stronger without cultivation. He offered her wine and appealed to their shared Earth hometown, leaving Alita to accept a toast and discover that she liked the drink.

• Chu Tiannan noticed that the starry sky above Five Emperors City looked unusual before Alita came to the railing beside him.
• Alita explained that she could not cultivate in seclusion, but her Mechanical Angel Clan core sustained her growth.
• Alita said her core had once saved someone and harmed someone, and Chu Tiannan offered her wine without pressing her to explain.
• Chu Tiannan reminded Alita that they were both from Earth and raised his bottle to their shared hometown.
• Alita clinked bottles with Chu Tiannan, took a sip, and said the wine tasted good.

Chu Tiannan shared the story of his life on Earth with Alita, from growing up as an orphan to meeting Luo'er during a Demon Beast invasion. He continued recounting how he and his companions became powerful and how he learned about his origins, leaving Alita listening closely.

• Chu Tiannan recalled being an orphan who trained to become a Martial Artist before Demon Beasts invaded his base city.
• Chu Tiannan told Alita that he had saved Luo'er, who then wanted to kill him so thoughts of him would not distract her cultivation.
• Chu Tiannan described how he and his companions eventually reached the twelfth stage of the Bachelor Realm and how he learned about his origins.

Chu Tiannan told Alita that he had killed the Demon King but failed to save his parents and companions, and that he wanted to grow strong enough to resurrect them and protect those around him. Alita stopped him from drinking more and reminded him that Luo'er should not see him so dispirited.

• Chu Tiannan complimented Alita's smile and asked why she seemed so detached.
• Alita said she would give up her power to have the people closest to her back, then blamed herself for their loss.
• Alita drank Chu Tiannan's liquor, choked, and cried as she told him she had gained power but failed to save those she loved.
• Chu Tiannan consoled Alita and urged her to become a Cosmic Throne so she could revive them.
• Alita agreed to work toward that goal, bumped fists with Chu Tiannan, and promised she could help bring him back too.

Chu Tiannan asked Alita about the unusual force behind her close-combat style, hoping to learn how she fought. Alita revealed it was the Angel Mecha Technique and offered to teach him a more powerful version.

• Alita said she trusted Chu Tiannan and Luo'er as friends, then remarked that Chu Tiannan could not yet unleash his full strength.
• Chu Tiannan explained that he had found a way forward but had not yet figured out how to use his power fully.
• Chu Tiannan asked Alita about the force in her punches and the strength of her blade strikes.
• Alita identified her fighting style as the Angel Mecha Technique and offered to teach Chu Tiannan a purer, more powerful version.

Alita tested whether Chu Tiannan’s body could withstand the Angel Mecha Technique by striking him with a hidden force that ravaged his internal pathways. After Chu Tiannan recovered, he accepted that he could learn the technique but warned Alita never to use it on Luo'er.

• Alita explained that she was the last member of the Mechanical Angel Clan and agreed to teach Chu Tiannan the Angel Mecha Technique after testing his body.

• Chu Tiannan warned Alita never to use the Angel Mecha Technique on Luo'er, but Alita laughed and said Luo'er was much stronger than he thought.
• Alita said she could at best draw with Luo'er or destroy them both, and that Luo'er's Luo God Law was more complicated than it appeared.
• Alita began training Chu Tiannan to channel soul will into his arm and compress it instead of immediately throwing a full-force punch.
• Chu Tiannan compressed the soul will in his right arm until Alita told him to punch.
• Chu Tiannan struck, sending a powerful surge of soul will roaring into the starry sky.

Chu Tiannan successfully used soul will to shatter the clouds above Five Emperors City with a single punch, then Alita challenged him to a hands-on spar. The chapter ended with her charging him and sending him skidding backward with a powerful punch.

• Chu Tiannan released his soul will in a punch that shattered the clouds above Five Emperors City.
• The Five Emperors City Lord noticed Chu Tiannan and Alita exploiting a loophole and smiled.
• Alita praised Chu Tiannan for grasping the technique on his first attempt.
• Alita proposed a spar with no weapons, then charged Chu Tiannan.
• Chu Tiannan braced with his arms, but Alita's punch sent him skidding backward.

Chu Tiannan spent a hundred years training against the Chaos Lord, trying to overcome the Chaos Sword Array. He reached the array’s core by switching to soul will, but the chapter ended as he and the Chaos Lord struck at each other again.

• The Chaos Lord rebuked Chu Tiannan for combining Chaos Sin with the Chaos Sword Array and explained that he needed to destroy the core or comprehend chaos’s first profound mystery.
