After reviewing the spoils from his battle against the divine sons and daughters, Ning Chuan found a Tribulation Feather that could aid him in opening a lightning Divine Treasure and considered how to disguise himself from Nie Yang. He announced an auction of Enlightenment Flowers to gather useful resources, and Nie Yang saw the barter as a chance to verify Ning Chuan’s identity.

• Ning Chuan examined Mo Huanyu’s spatial ring, found the King-Bestowing Dream Derivation Art, and began receiving its inheritance.
• Ning Chuan found a Tribulation Feather in Yi Huang’s spatial ring, and Bai Zhi explained how it could aid a body cultivator in opening a lightning Divine Treasure.

• Arriving geniuses and factions across Martial Star prepared to participate in Ning Chuan’s auction.
• Nie Yang heard about the auction at the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s space gate and decided the barter offered a chance to verify Ning Chuan’s identity.

Ning Chuan began evaluating the divine sons’ and saintesses’ barter offers for Enlightenment Flowers at military headquarters. Li Yunxi opened with a powerful King-Bestowing martial art containing the Chaos Law, while Qing Meng prepared to discuss Long Prosperity Company’s contract terms with him.

• Qing Meng told Li Yunxi that Jiang Luoshui wanted Ning Chuan to sign a custom contract but had not secured approval for his requested signing fee and Heaven-Reaching Vine sap.
• Li Yunxi urged Qing Meng to show Ning Chuan sincere terms, citing his recent ability to kill Mo Huanyu with the Sole Self Killing Eye.
• Ning Chuan arrived at military headquarters and asked the bidders to display their offers for the Enlightenment Flowers.
• Li Yunxi presented a King-Bestowing martial art that contained the First-Grade Chaos Law and was described as a half-step Divine Art.

Ning Chuan traded an Enlightenment Flower for Li Yunxi’s Myriad Laws Non-Invasion Art and another for a shapeshifting cloak, while considering whether the cloak had been deliberately placed in his hands by the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom’s Military Department. He continued searching for rare resources and approached a former mediation committee member offering Azure Blood.

• Li Yunxi explained that the Myriad Laws Non-Invasion Art came from the Supreme Divine Hall and had once let its ninth-generation divine son withstand a True God’s assassination attempt; Ning Chuan traded her an Enlightenment Flower for it.
• Ning Chuan examined dozens of other offers without making a trade, then heard a buzz-cut young man describe a shapeshifting cloak that could conceal its wearer from most Demigods below the King and Marquis level.
• Ning Chuan’s Mind-Reading Art caught the phrase “The Divine Kingdom's Military Department” in the young man’s thoughts, prompting him to wonder whether the cloak was bait to test if he was the Cloud Shadow Divine General.
• Ning Chuan traded the young man an Enlightenment Flower for the cloak, which could help him evade investigation when leaving Martial Star.
• Ning Chuan continued looking for useful resources, found no substances that could unlock a Soul Divine Treasure, and approached an armored former mediation committee member offering Azure Blood.

Ning Chuan traded for an ancient clay bowl that might retain a trace of Azure Blood, despite its dried contents, and later exchanged an Enlightenment Flower for the Realm Body martial art and a Spirit of Law Comprehension. He ended the auction after the remaining descended geniuses left without complaint.

• An armored committee member offered Ning Chuan an ancient bowl that had once held Azure Blood, claiming it might help awaken the Eternally Indestructible Divine Treasure.
• A descended genius dismissed the dried Azure Blood as worthless, and the committee member explained that the Black Heaven Demonic Ape had destroyed the remaining blood during their struggle.
• Ning Chuan sensed a faint, powerful fluctuation in the bowl itself and traded two items from his collection for it instead of giving up an Enlightenment Flower.
• Ning Chuan later traded an Enlightenment Flower for the King-Bestowing Realm Body martial art and a Spirit of Law Comprehension containing a Law.
• Ning Chuan announced the end of the auction, and the disappointed descended geniuses departed without protest.

Ning Chuan agreed to Universe Broadcasting Group's contract terms, then reached perfection in the Mortal Transcendence Realm and discovered he could choose what kind of Divine Treasure to open. The chapter left him preparing to select a Divine Treasure, with the possibility of opening the soul-type one he wanted.

• Qing Meng explained the limits of Ning Chuan's signing bonus and offered him a fifty-fifty livestream revenue split, plus opportunities to purchase more Spirits of Law Comprehension if he brought the group enough profit.
• Ning Chuan agreed to sign once the customized contract was approved and chose a Spirit of Law Comprehension for a first-grade law as his bonus.
• Ning Chuan spent two days at military headquarters cultivating, and by early June 25 he was close to reaching the forty-nine-million-ton strength needed to open a Divine Treasure.
• Ning Chuan weighed using tribulation feather or azure blood to influence his Divine Treasure, while wishing he could open a soul-type Divine Treasure.
• Ning Chuan reached perfection in the Mortal Transcendence Realm and sensed that he could control the type of Divine Treasure he opened.

Ning Chuan opened his first Divine Treasure, the powerful soul-type Heavenly Illusion Divine Treasure, and reached the Divine Treasure Realm. After his strength surged to two hundred million tons, he realized that becoming a True God would depend on cultivating several high-quality Divine Treasures to their limits.

• Ning Chuan tested his affinity for hundreds of Divine Treasure types and found that his chances of opening them varied greatly.
• Ning Chuan successfully opened his soul-type Divine Treasure and discovered it was the Heavenly Illusion Divine Treasure, which greatly strengthened his soul and produced divine substance.
• Ning Chuan used the divine substance to temper his body, raising his total strength to two hundred million tons.
• Ning Chuan checked his system panel and learned that the Heavenly Illusion Divine Treasure had begun cultivating automatically at its first stage.
• Ning Chuan concluded that four more Divine Treasures of similar quality, cultivated to their limits, could let him forge the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Divine Body and become a True God, though mastering each stage would take years.

Ning Chuan perfected several martial arts with the Heavenly Illusion Divine Treasure and opened a second divine treasure, Heaven’s Wrath. He then discovered that he could open a third divine treasure and began to suspect his foundation might lead him to the strongest treasures of their kinds.

• Ning Chuan used the Prison-Suppressing Manor’s Inheritance Stone to perfect the second heaven of the Prison-Suppressing Heavenly Scripture and the fourth section of the Spirit Transformation Technique.
• Ning Chuan perfected the third section of Heaven-Chaos Force but could not cultivate its fourth section without a force-type divine treasure.
• Ning Chuan told Bai Zhi, Le Yu, and Momo that he had opened the Heavenly Illusion Divine Treasure and could open another divine treasure immediately.
• Ning Chuan used the Tribulation Feather to open Heaven’s Wrath, whose divine substance fused with the Heavenly Illusion Divine Treasure’s substance and strengthened his body.
• Ning Chuan sensed another divine treasure within himself and realized he could open at least three, prompting him to wonder whether he would keep opening the strongest treasures of their kinds.

Ning Chuan used Azure Blood to open the Eternally Indestructible Divine Treasure, which greatly strengthened his body and pushed his physical strength beyond a billion tons. He decided to advance to the Divine Body Realm as soon as either cultivation path met the requirements, though he remained unsure which path would make him a god first.

• Ning Chuan confirmed with Bai Zhi that the Eternally Indestructible Divine Treasure met the requirements for the fourth part of Heaven-Chaos Force.
• Ning Chuan infused himself with Azure Blood and successfully opened the Eternally Indestructible Divine Treasure.
• The Divine Treasure tempered Ning Chuan's body, raising his basic physical strength beyond a billion tons.
• Ning Chuan chose not to rush into opening another Divine Treasure while his perception of it remained unclear.
• Ning Chuan decided to advance to the Divine Body Realm if his body cultivation qualified first, or to open more Divine Treasures if his original cultivation became a god first.

Ning Chuan disguised himself as a Divine Slave and contacted Nie Yang, confirming that the Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom had deliberately planted the Shapeshifting Garment at the auction. Nie Yang tasked him with infiltrating the Federation military, unaware that Ning Chuan had understood the deception, while Nie Yang and his deputy prepared for the Divine Kingdom’s invasion of Martial Star.

• Ning Chuan wore the Shapeshifting Garment in a primeval forest and contacted Nie Yang while posing as the former Divine Slave Yang Changzhi.
• Nie Yang verified the imitation Divine Oracle Talisman fluctuations and ordered Ning Chuan to infiltrate the Federation military and gather intelligence on Ning Chuan.
• Ning Chuan feigned hesitation and devotion as Nie Yang promised him a concealment artifact, communications equipment, and cultivation resources.

• Aboard the Sun Core, Nie Yang told his deputy that he had recognized Ning Chuan’s disguise through a backdoor planted in the Shapeshifting Garment and said he would investigate the other Divine Slaves.

Ning Chuan gathered vast resources while searching Martial Star, then sensed a world-shaking inheritance appear in the Ten Thousand Li of Green Mountains. He learned it was the Hidden Killing Tower’s inheritance and headed there, disguising himself as Cloud Shadow Divine General along the way.

• Ning Chuan judged Nie Yang’s gift of a Third-Grade Law Comprehension Spirit modest and suspected Nie Yang had plans involving the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace’s Ancient Pilgrimage Path.
• Ning Chuan spent several days exploring Martial Star’s inheritances, finding two complete sets of King-Bestowing martial arts and many other valuable items.
• Ning Chuan decided to wait until he grew stronger before using force to levy resources from the descended geniuses.
• Ning Chuan sensed a vast, chilling ripple from the Ten Thousand Li of Green Mountains and learned from a military notification that the Hidden Killing Tower’s inheritance had appeared.
• Ning Chuan deduced that the cave inheritance and the Hidden Killing Tower inheritance were connected, then rushed toward the mountains.
• Ning Chuan landed on an island and transformed himself into Cloud Shadow Divine General, matching the general’s soul fluctuations.
