Chapter Summaries

Lin Yu defeated Bosai with a single punch, then forced Motixi to answer his question about a riot in the Exile World. Motixi confirmed that a riot had occurred but knew no official explanation, leaving Lin Yu to wonder how the authorities had suppressed news of it so quickly.

• Lin Yu swiftly knocked Bosai unconscious, and Motixi and Anbo fell to their knees in fear.
• Lin Yu approached Motixi and demanded an answer to his question about the Exile World.
• Motixi's reaction confirmed that a large-scale riot had occurred, so Lin Yu asked what had caused it.
• Motixi said ordinary people had heard only rumors about a dark ritual or an invasion by beings from other worlds, and he did not know which, if either, was true.
• Lin Yu questioned how the authorities had suppressed news of such a large riot so quickly.

Lin Yu questioned Motixi and Anbo about the last riot in the Exile World, learning that some people had gone missing afterward. He left them with his contact details and offered to pay for any further information.

• Motixi said he had only heard about the riot secondhand and jokingly asked whether Lin Yu was a secret agent.
• Lin Yu asked Anbo what had happened to the people involved in the riot, and Anbo said a group had gone missing.
• The Hongmeng System confirmed that Motixi and Anbo had shown no signs of lying.
• Lin Yu gave Motixi his private number and asked him to contact him if he learned anything about the riot.
• Motixi offered to work more closely with Lin Yu and said he was not worried about sharing information despite the risk.

Lin Yu gave up on finding hidden information about Exile World at the tavern and turned to the Star of Azure, where he planned to use a Main God's presence to create Auxiliary Godhoods. He extracted some of that presence from the octopus tentacle and began directing his attention toward the steam-age civilization.

• Lin Yu told Motixi he was investigating Exile World out of personal interest, and Motixi offered to seek information for a hefty price.
• Lin Yu returned to his hotel and, with Sanoke still away, checked on the Star of Azure, which had developed to a level comparable to European civilization without granting him any Power of Faith.
• Lin Yu realized the octopus tentacle carried a Main God's presence and ordered it to come over so he could extract some.
• Lin Yu used the Hongmeng System to analyze the extracted presence and learned it could create two or three Auxiliary Godhoods.
• Lin Yu placed the presence in the Universe Sandbox and focused his mental power on the Star of Azure, where civilization had reached the age of steam.

Lin Yu scattered fragments of Main God presence across three remote locations on the Star of Azure to study whether terror and powerful beings could inspire more faith. He left the resulting fleshly creatures to grow unchecked, confident he could control them later.

• Lin Yu decided to test whether soul-deep fear could produce more Power of Faith than ordinary worship.
• He used part of the Main God presence taken from the octopus tentacle to create an irregular mass of flesh in a secluded swamp.
• The new creature reached toward Lin Yu, then began devouring the mire after he told it to grow up and departed.
• Lin Yu placed the remaining power in two more secluded locations, creating three similar creatures.
• Lin Yu watched from concealment as all three creatures began devouring their surroundings without his interference.

Lin Yu experimented with three portions of the octopus tentacle’s Main God power on the Star of Azure, then considered why faith from the Star of Vastness was waning and how to strengthen it. He decided to create a limited disaster that only a god could resolve and then save the inhabitants.

• Lin Yu placed three controlled portions of Main God power on the Star of Azure and let them develop independently.
• Lin Yu traced the declining Power of Faith on the Star of Vastness to its inhabitants’ comfortable lives and the Eagle Kingdom’s rule over the world.
• Lin Yu concluded that stronger faith required more believers or believers with higher levels of life, but found both approaches difficult.
• Lin Yu considered helping the Star of Vastness expand beyond its world, then rejected the idea because its inhabitants were not ready for interstellar migration.
• Lin Yu decided to create a terrifying but limited disaster on the Star of Vastness and resolve it to deepen the inhabitants’ faith.

Lin Yu arranged for ancient ferocious beasts on the Star of Vastness to begin cultivating, hoping their growing power would create a crisis that let him strengthen the inhabitants’ faith and introduce cultivation. After Sanoke returned from investigating thirty-two people in the Exile World, he reported their strangely uniform reactions to the riot, leading Lin Yu to suspect their fear had been an act.

• Lin Yu chose to provoke a danger on the Star of Vastness and planned to appear as a god who would grant its inhabitants cultivation.
• Lin Yu selected ancient ferocious beasts that had begun absorbing Spiritual Qi and guided them into cultivation, setting up a future conflict with the Eagle Kingdom’s inhabitants.
• Lin Yu accelerated time on the Star of Vastness and the Star of Azure and told the Hongmeng System to monitor them for the right moment.
• Sanoke returned and reported that all thirty-two people he questioned had hazy memories of the large-scale riot and showed no signs of lying.
• Sanoke described how the targets had reacted to him with nearly identical fear, and Lin Yu suggested their fear might have been an act.

Lin Yu and Sanoke investigated the strange behavior of the Exile World's inhabitants but found no clear answers, and Lin Yu suspected an undetectable power had been watching them since they arrived. He allowed Sanoke to continue investigating the next night, promising to provide him with some precautions first.

• Lin Yu questioned Sanoke about the strange beings, and Sanoke said he had erased their memories and secretly eliminated some he considered problematic.
• Sanoke handed Lin Yu his list and reported that his hunter's instincts suggested their investigation had been detected by a higher-level power.
• Lin Yu said he also felt they had been watched since entering the Exile World and suspected Aikesi, the hotel cameras, and the local management might be connected.
• Sanoke offered to investigate further and act as bait, but Lin Yu told him to wait until the following night, when he would provide a few things for protection.

Lin Yu let Sanoke use the Cosmic Radio and cracked its paid tutorials so he could study, while Lin Yu resumed examining the notebook. He found something unusual on a thick page near the end, leaving its contents undiscovered.

• Sanoke asked Lin Yu what they should do, and Lin Yu told him to find something to do for the night.
• Sanoke asked permission to watch the Cosmic Radio so he could learn and improve his strength.
• Lin Yu gave Sanoke a link and used the Hongmeng System to make the paid tutorials available for free.
• Lin Yu returned to bed but could not sleep, so he took out the notebook to examine it again.
• Lin Yu noticed that a page near the end was thicker than the others and focused on it.

Lin Yu read a notebook describing its owner's last days in a ruined world, but found no useful clues. After falling asleep, he was awakened by a hotel attendant caught in Sanoke's ventilation-duct trap, and suspected the hotel's vents were secret passages.

• Lin Yu read the notebook's hidden pages, which contained only vague entries about the writer's isolation and despair.
• Lin Yu drifted off while pondering the notebook, then woke when a trap in the ventilation duct was triggered.
• Sanoke rushed out and dragged an attendant, who had entered through the duct, before Lin Yu.
• The attendant claimed he had come to offer service and begged Lin Yu not to tell the hotel manager; Lin Yu's mental scan showed he was telling the truth.
• The Hongmeng System deduced that the attendant was a petty thief, but Lin Yu remained suspicious of his odd route and effortless climb through the vents.

Lin Yu caught a waiter planting a listening device but let him escape so Sanoke could follow him and uncover who was behind the scheme. Sanoke left to track the waiter, while Lin Yu stayed in the suite.

• Lin Yu had Sanoke slap the waiter until he admitted he had been casing the suite for valuables and begged Lin Yu not to report him.
• Lin Yu dismissed the waiter, who crawled back through the ventilation duct, and Sanoke found the miniature listening device he had planted beneath the carpet.
• Lin Yu told Sanoke he had let the suspicious waiter go to use him as a lead and gave Sanoke a miniature earpiece made with the Fantasy Weapon.
• Sanoke revealed he had marked the waiter with scented powder that beings from Hunter World could track, then rushed out to follow him.
• Lin Yu watched the view outside the window and stretched as he waited in the suite.

Lin Yu searched for evidence of the mysterious force described in the notebook but found nothing, and he questioned whether the Exile World's management had concealed the incident. Motixi called with a lead on the riot, claiming he had obtained it from the Resistance Army, leaving Lin Yu surprised that Motixi had connections there.

• Lin Yu had the Hongmeng System investigate the area around the hotel, but it found no signs of the widespread infection described in the notebook.
• Lin Yu wondered whether the people’s normal behavior was an illusion and asked the Hongmeng System whether anything could detect it; the system said no one in the Exile World should be capable of doing so.
• Motixi called Lin Yu and offered to sell him information about the riot, saying he had found a lead.
• Lin Yu warned Motixi not to lie about where he got the information, and Motixi said he had gone to the Resistance Army.
• Lin Yu asked Motixi in surprise whether he had connections in the Resistance Army.

Lin Yu paid Motixi for information about the resistance, and Motixi led him to a hidden area beneath the underground black boxing arena. They prepared to enter a secret passage, but Motixi had only brought a mask for himself.

• Lin Yu bargained with Motixi and agreed to pay seven hundred thousand Exile World points upfront, with another three hundred thousand due after the information was delivered.
• Motixi met Lin Yu near a combat-zone fortress and warned him about the danger before leading him through the alleys.
• Motixi brought Lin Yu to the underground black boxing arena, where they passed a guard by claiming Lin Yu was a boss from a higher world.
• Motixi led Lin Yu to a hidden corner equipped with counter-surveillance devices and put on a mask, then told Lin Yu he had not prepared one for him because masks were expensive.

Lin Yu and Motixi entered the underground Exile World to meet Motixi’s older brother and learn about a proposed deal. They reached the mountain summit, where the brother introduced them to Luosha, who seemed not to recognize Motixi.

• Lin Yu and Motixi followed the man to a mountain summit, where he introduced Motixi to Luosha as an old friend.
• Luosha questioned who Motixi was, and Motixi asked whether Luosha did not know him.

Motixi and Luosha wagered over the Exile World’s core, trading maps and sacred treasures as stakes. When Motixi saw Luosha’s daughter, he reacted with shock, prompting Luosha to unleash a threatening presence.

• Luosha showed Motixi a golden token map, which Motixi recognized and used to demonstrate his knowledge of the Exile World.
• Motixi revealed that his group sought the world’s core and offered his soul if he lost their bet, while asking to see Luosha’s map if Luosha lost.
• Motixi agreed to trade his maps and divine artifacts for help finding the core, and Luosha handed him the token.
• Motixi stared in shock at Luosha’s daughter, and Luosha warned him against improper intentions before releasing an oppressive presence that made Motixi recoil.

Luosha and Motixi negotiated over their maps and wealth while Lin Yu learned they were in a dangerous spatial rift. After Lin Yu and Luosha passed through the space, Luosha and Motixi began their duel, with Motixi pressing the attack despite Luosha’s strength being restricted.

• Luosha and Motixi began fighting, and Luosha crushed Motixi's golden flame attack.
• Motixi launched a series of fierce attacks, and Luosha cautiously dodged while relying on his formidable body.

Lin Yu watched Luosha face Motixi and saw that Luosha’s strength and defenses had grown formidable. As Motixi escalated his attacks, Lin Yu laughed at his attempt to test Luosha, leaving Motixi furious and demanding to know why.

• Lin Yu warned Luosha to be careful as a spatial rift’s opponent approached, and Luosha said he knew his limits.
• Lin Yu summoned the Lightning Spirit’s power while he and Luosha waited for the other to make the first move.
• Motixi attacked Luosha with his black saber, but Luosha absorbed the blow with little damage and then met Motixi head-on.
• Motixi unleashed successive palm strikes to pressure Luosha, who remained confident despite the attacks.
• Lin Yu laughed at Motixi’s attempt to test Luosha, and Motixi glared at him and demanded to know what he was laughing at.

• Lin Yu formed a seal and crushed Luosha's attack with a golden palm, then struck him into a mountain.
• Luosha spat blood and was hurled away, prompting the experts behind him to cheer.

• Luosha pretended to refuse Motixi's offer of help while provoking him to act against Lin Yu.

• Lin Yu rushed Motixi and pierced his throat with the spear, killing him.
• Lin Yu continued attacking the black-robed men, who recovered from their shock and shouted for his death.

Lin Yu killed Motixi’s eight black-robed subordinates with a single attack and challenged Motixi after stopping his sword from striking another man. Their fight began with a clash that sent both of them flying, and Motixi realized Lin Yu’s ordinary-looking technique contained profound Dao rhyme.
