Chapter Summaries

Lin Shen realized that he could combine Concealed Heart’s shell-forging step with Condemned by Thousands to reproduce his mysterious finger strike. He successfully made the techniques work together once, while Tian Bu Luo continued pursuing the God-Demon Realm.

• Tian Bu Luo asked Lin Shen to master the finger strike that had disrupted his Heaven and Human Unite, and Lin Shen admitted he could not yet control it.
• Lin Shen reviewed the difficulties of concealing Two Eight Finger Force within Condemned by Thousands but could not reproduce their accidental fusion.
• Tian Bu Luo returned to the pavilion to cultivate the God-Demon Realm, while Lin Shen’s Gene Mutation Rate rose to 80.
• Lin Shen connected the Heaven and Divine Human Song’s two halves to the realms of Heaven and Human Unite and the God-Demon Realm, reasoning that the latter reversed control between puppeteer and puppet.
• Lin Shen abandoned Concealed Heart’s concealment method and used its shell-forging step as a bridge between Two Eight Finger Force and Condemned by Thousands.
• Lin Shen tried the new approach and successfully released hidden force from his fingertip while striking in the posture of Condemned by Thousands.

Lin Shen refined Condemned by Thousands with the Two Eight Fist Force and created the concealed long-range technique Fingertip Sand. Its delayed effect on Tian Bu Luo’s Heaven and Divine Human Art gave Tian Bu Luo a possible path to improve the art, while Lin Shen continued developing the technique.

• Lin Shen condensed and streamlined his finger force, named the new technique Fingertip Sand, and abandoned forms that no longer worked with it.

• Tian Bu Luo treated the delay as a breakthrough to study, then sat to comprehend the Immortal Laws left by God and Heavenly Emperor.
• Lin Shen continued refining Fingertip Sand and considering how to conceal it and combine it with different movement techniques.

• Tian Qing Yu asked Lin Shen to take her as his master and teach her Fingertip Sand.

Lin Shen refused to teach Tian Qing Yu Fingertip Sand and gave her pages from his altered Two Eight Fist manual instead. Tian Qing Yu accepted them, determined to master the technique, while Tian Bu Luo mistakenly wondered whether Lin Shen had romantic feelings for her.

• Lin Shen declined Tian Qing Yu's offer to exchange seven secret finger arts for lessons in Fingertip Sand, citing his inability to teach her.

She realized Lin Shen had shared a valuable secret with her, while Emperor Tian Shu left her with a new understanding of why My Friend’s fist technique was unique.

• Tian Qing Yu practiced Lin Shen’s drawings and grew angry when she found no mnemonic verses and could not connect the forceful fist movements to Fingertip Sand.

• Emperor Tian Shu said My Friend’s fearlessness had enabled him to create Two Eight Fist, whose opening punch warned opponents to retreat and whose second punch struck to kill.

Tian Qing Yu struggled to master the Two Eight Fist despite studying its manual and My Friend’s notebook, so she visited Lin Shen at Silence Abode. There, she discussed Tian Bu Luo’s cultivation and admitted that she had made no progress with the secret art Lin Shen gave her, while Lin Shen’s Inheritance Fan gained a powerful new skill.

• Emperor Tian Shu told Tian Qing Yu that the Two Eight Fist required an unflinching spirit, then hurried away when she suspected he had failed to create it himself.
• Tian Qing Yu studied the Two Eight Fist manual and My Friend’s notebook but could not unleash its power despite mastering its forms and fist momentum.
• Lin Shen’s Inheritance Fan reincarnated and gained the seventh-form skill “Break,” which weakened the effects of an opponent’s skills.

• Tian Qing Yu returned to Sky Peak Star to study the Two Eight Fist after Lin Shen said its teachings could not guarantee anyone would learn it.

• After Lin Shen left, the old staff complained about his failure to bring back funds and planned to teach him their money-making tricks.

Lin Shen opened the gifts the Heavenly Emperor had left for him and learned that the coins were likely intended to cover the Celestial Master Academy’s debts. Tian Xun explained how valuable his Combat Suit and Library No. 1 card were, leaving Lin Shen with unexpected status and access among the Celestial Race.

• Lin Shen found four crates in his bedroom and discovered Sky Crystal Coins, a Heavenly Kingdom No. 7 Combat Suit, a Pet Egg, and a Library No. 1 borrowing card inside.

He headed to Sky City to find out what had happened, while Instructor Mu warned him to stay hidden from the Wan Family.

After learning the danger, Lin Shen agreed to enter the Underground Space with them the next day.

• Instructor Mu and Hai Dasiu examined Lin Shen’s gifts, recognized the six Evolution Techniques as top-tier, and resolved to help spread them across the Human Mother Star.

• Wei Changqing told Lin Shen that a powerful Nirvana Creature was forming in the Underground Space and asked him to join a dangerous mission to kill it.
• Wei Wufu explained that several Wei family Nirvana Realm Experts had barely escaped the creature, and Lin Shen suspected its birthplace was Nirvana Land.

Lin Shen joined Wei Wufu and seven Nirvana Realm Experts from the Wei family on a mission to destroy the source of Nirvana Creatures in the Underground Space. They descended into the hidden world beneath Sky City and began fighting its Crystal Grade Creatures.

• Wei Wufu told Lin Shen that the Wei family had begun evacuating Sky City in case their operation failed, and that Lin Shen and Wei Wufu would destroy the breeding source while Wei Changqing and the others fought the Nirvana Creatures.

• Lin Shen saw the underground world, the broken blue crystal spaceship, and the river beneath it as the group's ropes slowed their rapid descent.
• Swarms of winged Crystal Grade Creatures attacked, and Wei Changqing and the other experts fought them as he ordered everyone to go down.

Lin Shen accompanied Wei Changqing and the Wei family’s Nirvana Realm Experts through the Underground Space, where they fought powerful creatures and gathered resources. After several days, they had cleared most nearby Nirvana Creatures, all of which resembled Black Cap Mushroom Beasts, leaving Lin Shen puzzled about why only one kind appeared.

• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu descended into the Underground Space while Wei Changqing and the others fought off flying and ground creatures.
• Wei Shoucheng explained that the crashed spaceship was extremely durable, leaked mutating blue liquid, and had scattered dangerous contents throughout the Underground Space.

• The Wei family cleared creatures and defeated several Nirvana Creatures over the next few days, collecting Nirvana Fluid and Spirit Bases while relying on their own Life Bases.
• Lin Shen noticed that every Nirvana Creature they encountered resembled a Black Cap Mushroom Beast, despite the variety of other creatures in the Underground Space.

Lin Shen and the Wei family reached the source of the Weird Creature and prepared to sever the icy-blue log feeding it. Wei Changqing’s seven Nirvana Realm Experts launched their attack as Lin Shen and Wei Wufu prepared to bring down the log.

• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu collected useful materials from the battlefield while the Wei family cleared the nearby Nirvana Creatures.
• Lin Shen put on his combat suit, entered his Super Gene Form, and gave Wei Wufu the Evil Ghost Blade.
• The group found a huge icy-blue log wedged between two mountain peaks, with the Weird Creature hanging from a cocoon beneath it.
• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu were assigned to bring down the log while Wei Changqing and the other Nirvana Realm Experts attacked the creature.
• Wei Changqing led six seven-time Nirvana experts and began striking the Weird Creature with the Phoenix Slaying Immortal Saber Technique.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu tried to sever the roots anchoring the log to the mountain while Wei Changqing and the others fought the Weird Creature. After Lin Shen cut through one root, the Weird Creature turned its attention toward them, and Wei Shoucheng landed a Phoenix Blade Qi across its neck.

• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu climbed to the mountaintop and found hundreds of glowing roots joining the log to the rock.
• Wei Wufu and Lin Shen used their abilities to weaken the roots, then Lin Shen sawed through one with the Junk Blade.
• The Weird Creature shrieked and attacked Lin Shen and Wei Wufu after sensing the damaged roots.
• Wei Changqing blocked the Weird Creature's attack with his twin blades while Wei Wufu and Lin Shen continued cutting.
• With the Weird Creature distracted, Wei Shoucheng struck its neck with a Phoenix Blade Qi.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu fought off a Nirvana Creature while cutting the roots anchoring a log to the mountain. After severing every root on their side, they could not move the log and feared approaching the Weird Creature to cut the roots on the other side.

• Wei Changqing's group and the Weird Creature became motionless as they entered a soul battle, while Lin Shen and Wei Wufu continued cutting roots.
• A Blue Cap Creature attacked Lin Shen and Wei Wufu, but they weakened it, battered it with their skills, and killed it before it could use its Life Foundation.
• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu spent more than two hours severing every root embedded in the mountain while Wei Changqing's group and the Weird Creature remained frozen.
• Wei Wufu and Lin Shen tried to push the log but could not move it, and Lin Shen refused to approach the far side because the Weird Creature's skill might ensnare them.

Lin Shen and the Wei family brought the log crashing into the ravine, crushing the Weird Creature’s insect sac but failing to kill it. The Weird Creature thanked them as roots spread beneath the log and drew light from the earth, leaving Lin Shen to realize their plan had gone wrong.

• Lin Shen used Old Wei’s singing and the Scrap Blade to carve through the rock supporting one end of the log.
• Lin Shen’s Breaker Wave Fourfold Punch triggered a collapse that sent the log crashing into the ravine and broke the roots holding its other end.
• Lin Shen and Wei Wufu found the seven Wei family members alive, while the log had crushed the insect sac and exposed the Weird Creature.
• The Weird Creature spoke to Lin Shen and the others, then blocked Wei Changqing’s attack with Strange Tooth.
• Roots spread from beneath the log and drew fluorescent light from the earth, making Lin Shen realize their plan had been wrong.

Wei Changqing and the other Wei family members combined their Purple Profound One Qi in a desperate strike that appeared to destroy the Weird Creature, but the creature survived and revealed its alien origins. Lin Shen stayed beside Wei Wufu to face it, and the creature introduced itself as Dongli of the God-Making Race.

• Wei Changqing ordered Lin Shen and Wei Wufu to retreat while the Wei family prepared their joint technique.
• Wei Changqing and six other Wei family members channeled their Purple Profound One Qi into a lightning phoenix that struck the Weird Creature and destroyed the insect sac and round log.
• Wei Wufu and Lin Shen saw the Weird Creature standing whole on the mountaintop after the strike, while the Wei family members collapsed from exhaustion.
• Wei Changqing called out to Lin Shen, but Lin Shen refused to take Wei Wufu away and returned to stand beside him.
• Lin Shen questioned the Weird Creature about its identity, and it named itself Dongli, a member of the God-Making Race.

Lin Shen learned that Chang Hen Dong Li belonged to the dangerous God-Making Race and had once destroyed his own planet. Chang Hen Dong Li revealed that he planned to use the Human Mother Star as a testing ground, then declared that Lin Shen and the others had to die.

• Lin Shen asked Xiao Qi about Dong Li’s race, and Xiao Qi identified him as Chang Hen Dong Li, a suspected member of the God-Making Race who had destroyed Dong Li Star.
• Chang Hen Dong Li confirmed his identity and claimed he had brought evolution to the Human Mother Star by accident.
• Chang Hen Dong Li revealed that the Original Seed Eggs were God-Making Eggs intended for experiments and said the Human Mother Star’s Gene Mutation Land would become his testing ground.
• Lin Shen questioned Chang Hen Dong Li about creating gods, and Chang Hen Dong Li claimed the God-Making Race sought to control the universe’s core order.
• Chang Hen Dong Li called Lin Shen and the others defective products and said they all had to die, singling out Lin Shen because he could expose his presence.

Lin Shen fled from Chang Hen Dong Li through the Underground Space, using speed boosts and unusual aerial movement to evade his attacks. He shook Chang Hen Dong Li off for the moment by clinging to a crack in the stone ceiling, while Chang Hen Dong Li offered to let him advance with a God-Making Egg as a test subject.

• Lin Shen fired a Pet Capsule and sped toward the exit, drawing Chang Hen Dong Li away from Wei Changqing and the others.
• Lin Shen used the Inheritance Fan and Mutated Exquisite Heart to weaken Chang Hen Dong Li, but Chang Hen Dong Li still caught up despite the effects.
• Wei Wufu believed Lin Shen was luring Chang Hen Dong Li away and chased after them, though he quickly fell behind.
• Lin Shen dodged Chang Hen Dong Li's midair attacks by stepping on one foot with the other, then used the stone ceiling to escape his pursuit.
• Chang Hen Dong Li asked whether Lin Shen had used a God-Making Egg and offered to make him a test subject; Lin Shen stalled for time and noted that few eggs remained.
