Chapter Summaries

Qin Ze discovered that the temple drained the Source of Life from Sand Race residents in underground cities to sustain something beneath a vast restriction, and he suspected the Sand God was involved. After Sha Zhenzhu reported traces of the Chaos Beast, a cyborg and a Night Clan woman searching for the Sand Race were caught in the path of a massive beast tide.

• The Night Clan woman shouted “Night Falls!” and darkened the sky as she faced Scythe Bro.

Qin Ze watched Scythe Bro copy the Night Clan woman's darkness ability and ambush the cyborg, who had nearly captured the weakened Chaos Beast. Just as Qin Ze told Sha Zhenzhu it was time to act, cracks spread across their Shelter Space.

• Qin Ze realized Scythe Bro's power relied on sacrificing its allies and swiftly killed it, taking its Soul Orb.

Qin Ze let his clones race to claim the Chaos Beast while the Night Clan woman fled and the cyborg summoned the God of Machinery. The God of Machinery recognized Qin Ze, but warned him that another power was approaching.

• The God of Machinery asked Qin Ze to help him get rid of the unconscious Sha Zhenzhu, warning that impurities were destined to return to dust.

Qin Ze learned from the Sand God that the gods’ struggle to escape the Five Elements and Two Realms was tied to a hidden truth guarded by Heaven, and that he was a key to resolving it. After being teleported back to the courtyard, he remained wary of the Sand God and received a message from Bai Chi.

• Qin Ze refused to take sides between the Sand God and the God of Machinery, then asked the Sand God why he had split himself.
• The Sand God explained that he and the Desolate God had sought to escape the Five Elements and Two Realms, and warned Qin Ze that learning the world’s truth too soon would invite erasure by Heaven.
• The Sand God told Qin Ze to seek the truth in the depths of Chaos and said Qin Ze’s gathered elements, Sword Case, and Heart of the Gods made him crucial to ending everything.

• Qin Ze received a message from Bai Chi on his communication card.

Qin Ze learned from Zi Yue that the four clans’ Myriad Races Grand Tournament concealed a dangerous scheme, but he decided to go to the Myriad Races Black Market anyway to see what they were planning. After leaving the Sand Race, he traveled toward the market on an Abyss Puppet and sensed an unexplained breeze.

• Zi Yue warned Qin Ze that the four clans were gathering prodigies for a dangerous plan unrelated to the Land of Origin, and she urged him to stay away from the Myriad Races Black Market.
• Qin Ze swore he would not go, then told his clones that he would head to the Myriad Races Black Market to visit Second Sister and investigate the four clans’ scheme.

• The Grand Elder assigned Sha Zhenzhu to guard the Land of the Gods behind the temple.
• Qin Ze rode an Abyss Puppet high above the Abyss toward the Myriad Races Black Market, then looked up when a breeze brushed his face.

Qin Ze secretly boarded a Night Clan merchant ship while its guard fought a talking bald eagle, then searched the hold for the valuable cargo. He found a hidden compartment containing a strange multicolored substance bound by veins that stirred his Desolate God Bloodline.

• Qin Ze sensed a concealed presence approaching a Night Clan merchant ship and watched a Peak of Level Nine elder expose it as a huge bald eagle.
• The bald eagle and the Night Clan elder fought while the eagle demanded that the elder hand over something it claimed was useless to him.
• After hearing the eagle mention an unknown item, Qin Ze used Shelter Space to slip aboard the ship unnoticed.
• Qin Ze emptied the rear hold of its valuables and discovered a concealed door behind a wall that blocked spiritual power.
• Qin Ze broke through the wall and found a transparent cube holding multicolored gas bound by red veins that he recognized as connected to the Desolate God Bloodline.

Qin Ze stole the Night Clan’s impure Chaos cargo during the bald eagle’s attack on their airship, then met the eagle again while carrying it away. The eagle introduced itself as Bai Bai, and Qin Ze asked how it had recognized him as human.

• Qin Ze absorbed the Desolate God Bloodline from the storeroom and trapped the escaping mass of impure Chaos in his hand.
• Bai Bai split the Night Clan airship apart, then fled when the Night Clan elder’s Nightfall Domain was broken by Blazing Sun Fire.

• Qin Ze left the wreckage with the Chaos and dodged Bai Bai’s wind attack a hundred miles away.
• Bai Bai demanded the Chaos, introduced itself by name, and Qin Ze asked how it had known he was human.

Qin Ze fought Bai Bai, a bald eagle wielding abilities through a powerful leg ring, and overwhelmed it with copied powers and a dazzling divine form. Bai Bai surrendered, and Qin Ze asked where it came from and how it knew he belonged to the Human Race.

• Bai Bai attacked Qin Ze with a wind field, but Qin Ze stood firm and released clones that he destroyed with one punch.
• Qin Ze copied Bai Bai’s eagle face and gained partial control of the wind field, then canceled out its Blazing Sun Fire.

• Bai Bai apologized and agreed to answer Qin Ze’s questions after he summoned thunderclouds over it.
• Qin Ze asked Bai Bai where it came from and how it knew he was a member of the Human Race.

• Qin Ze threatened Bai Bai until it revealed that it had emerged from Chaos after taking a Strange God's place in a Chaos Egg.
• Bai Bai explained that a voice had once compelled it and other Strange Beasts to attack the myriad races, but eating Chaos Beasts freed it from the voice.
• Bai Bai said the Desolate God had brought it out of Chaos, and it later returned because staying away too long made it lose its independence.
• Bai Bai revealed that the Chaos entrance it had found was nearby, separate from the Spirit Clan's forbidden ground and the Tomb of the Gods.
• Qin Ze offered Bai Bai another reward to lead him there, and Bai Bai accepted after swallowing the Chaos he had given it.

Second Sister attended a meeting about the stolen Chaos Pearl, and the Blazing Sun Clan agreed to send a replacement to the Myriad Races Black Market. Above the market, Qin Ze and Bai Bai found that the place Bai Bai remembered as the entrance to Chaos had become an independent world, and Qin Ze refused to pay Bai Bai until he found the entrance.

• The Night Clan elder statesman reported that a Demigod Level exotic beast with Blazing Sun Fire had stolen the Chaos Pearl with help from someone in the shadows.
• Second Sister and the Grand Elder rejected the accusations against the Blazing Sun Clan, while the Night Clan elder said the beast's fire came from the depths of the Blazing Sun Pool.
• The Grand Elder agreed that the Blazing Sun Clan would provide a replacement Chaos Pearl for free, to be escorted to the black market in three days.
• The Night Clan elder statesman warned that the Strange Gods were reviving and that another War of the Gods might follow, and Second Sister left the meeting uneasy about her twitching eyelid.
• Bai Bai brought Qin Ze to the black market entrance, which had replaced the entrance to Chaos that Bai Bai remembered from ten thousand years earlier.
• Qin Ze refused to pay Bai Bai because Bai Bai could not show him the entrance to Chaos, leaving Bai Bai to complain about the Human Race.

Qin Ze brought the shrunken Bai Bai into the Myriad Races Black Market to search for the entrance, after making it agree to three rules. When a Night Clan elder recognized something familiar about Bai Bai, the elder became suspicious and locked onto it with killing intent.

• Bai Bai shrank to owl size and agreed to pretend to be Qin Ze's pet while obeying his rules.
• Qin Ze entered the Myriad Races Black Market with Bai Bai, which marveled at the lively city and said it would have to search for the entrance bit by bit.
• Qin Ze decided to visit Second Sister and stock up as the Myriad Races Grand Tournament approached and many powerful fighters filled the market.
• A Night Clan elder recognized the band on Bai Bai's leg and suspected that the eagle could understand people.
• The Night Clan elder released a powerful aura and targeted Bai Bai, but Qin Ze told it not to move.
