Luo Feng considered what kind of second clone would best complement his Golden Horned Beast, and Lin Mo advised him to prioritize speed and explosive power. Lin Mo recommended the rare Shadow Clan, whose abilities impressed Luo Feng as he read about them.

• Luo Feng ordered the guards to keep everyone out of the manor’s inner grounds while he cultivated, then browsed lifeform materials in the Virtual Universe Company’s treasure vault.
• Luo Feng asked Lin Mo and Babata for advice, and Lin Mo explained that the Golden Horned Beast already excelled at strength but lacked speed, burst damage, and endurance.
• Luo Feng chose a clone focused on speed and explosive power, then narrowed the treasure vault’s options to a dozen rare races.
• Luo Feng asked Lin Mo to choose among the remaining races, and Lin Mo recommended the Shadow Clan.
• Luo Feng read that Shadow Clan members could enslave the recently dead as loyal soul slaves and use the Shadow Realm to enhance them and swap places with them.

Luo Feng gambled most of his points on Shadow Clan hair to gestate a second clone, then cultivated during the journey to headquarters until he decided to break through to Universe Level. Atuso approved the breakthrough and explained that the escort ship was equipped with a Nutrient Pod for the process.

• Luo Feng bought five strands of Shadow Clan hair for nine thousand points despite Babata warning him about the risk, and Lin Mo advised him to save his remaining points.
• Luo Feng spent a year cultivating aboard the spaceship, practicing Lin Mo’s Calming Art and deepening his comprehension of metal, space, and time laws.

• Two years passed as Luo Feng's cultivation rose to Universe Level Ninth Stage, and Atuso informed him that the spaceship was nearing headquarters.
• The spaceship left the Dark Universe and entered the Original Universe, where Luo Feng saw the immense supercontinent of the Virtual Universe Company's headquarters.

• Lin Mo explained that the Shadow Clan had exceptional affinity for the Space and Time Laws and a ninefold gene multiplier.
• Lin Mo described how Shadow Clan members could revive through surviving Soul Slaves and weaken nearby enemies with a Death Domain, and Luo Feng realized the clan was more powerful than he had thought.

Luo Feng and the other geniuses departed for the Initial Universe aboard a strange spaceship under Venerable Nine Swords’s direction. As they entered the cosmic passage, its chaotic time flow overwhelmed many passengers, though Luo Feng remained calm by using Lin Mo’s Calming Art.

• Luo Feng arrived at the assembly hall and exchanged greetings with the gathered geniuses.
• Luo Feng declined Bolan’s invitation to duel because they were about to depart for the Initial Universe.
• After all one thousand geniuses arrived, a white-robed, red-eyed man led them to a dark-gold spaceship.
• Venerable Nine Swords ordered the spaceship to depart, and it instantly entered the cosmic passage between the Original Universe and the Initial Universe.
• Luo Feng used Lin Mo’s Calming Art to withstand the passage’s disorienting effects while several weaker geniuses collapsed in pain.

Venerable Nine Swords brought Luo Feng and the other geniuses into the Initial Universe and warned them about the dangers of their thirty years in Chaos City. As the group entered the city, Lin Mo sensed a powerful being probe Luo Feng, then relaxed when the probe showed no hostility.

• The ship entered the Initial Universe, where Luo Feng and Lin Mo witnessed the chaotic cosmos and its exposed Universe Origin Laws.
• Venerable Nine Swords warned the geniuses that the Initial Universe held unknown dangers and hoped they would all survive their thirty years in Chaos City.
• The ship landed near Chaos City, and a blue-scaled reception envoy welcomed the thousand geniuses and led them inside.
• As Luo Feng listened to the envoy explain the city, Lin Mo sensed a faint, powerful probe pass over Luo Feng and realized the being had discovered him but permitted his existence.

Luo Feng examined the 52 Chaos Tablets and asked Lin Mo which path to choose. Lin Mo recommended the Universe Chaos Stele for its combined cultivation of time and space, or the Nine Universes Chaos Stele for its focus on Space Law, leaving Luo Feng to weigh the options before the half-hour deadline.

• The Black-Robed Envoy explained that the 52 pictures represented the Chaos Tablets and gave the geniuses half an hour to choose one.
• Luo Feng surveyed the pictures and asked Lin Mo for advice on choosing a Chaos Tablet.
• Lin Mo recommended the Universe Chaos Stele, explaining that Luo Feng's future Shadow Clan clone and Lin Mo's own experience with time and space could help him follow its difficult path.
• Lin Mo suggested the Nine Universes Chaos Stele as a second option because it suited Luo Feng's Yan Shen Armament, but warned that it could cause him to neglect Time Law.
• Luo Feng stood before a picture and considered Lin Mo's recommendations.

Luo Feng chose the Universe Chaos Stele, accepting its difficulty because Lin Mo would guide him. After the Black-Robed Envoy recorded the geniuses’ choices, Luo Feng and Bolan entered the Universe Stele’s meditation chamber for their first seven days of study.

• Luo Feng chose the Universe Chaos Stele after Lin Mo promised to teach him without reservation.
• The Black-Robed Envoy recorded the geniuses’ choices and told Luo Feng that Bolan had also chosen the Universe Chaos Stele.
• The Black-Robed Envoy led the 1,000 geniuses to the training ground and announced which Chaos Stele chambers were available.
• Luo Feng and Bolan followed the Black-Robed Envoy to the Universe Chaos Stele’s chamber and met its guardian, Lord Kandri.
• Lord Kandri granted Luo Feng and Bolan seven days to study, and they entered the chamber together.

Luo Feng and Bolan studied the Universe Chaos Stele for seven days, while Lin Mo became engrossed in it as well. After leaving the chamber, Luo Feng received one million points from the Ganwu Country Lord as a reward for winning the Genius Battle.

• Luo Feng and Bolan entered the chamber and began studying the Universe Chaos Stele’s nine diagrams.
• Lin Mo told Luo Feng to study the first diagram on his own because he was studying the stele too.
• After seven days, Kandri woke Luo Feng and Bolan and advised them to choose a residence and apply to enter the Heavenly Bridge.
• Luo Feng searched for a pale-white, unoccupied cultivation residence in Chaos City.
• Luo Feng received an email confirming that the Ganwu Country Lord had gifted him one million points for winning the Genius Battle.

Luo Feng settled into a secluded residence in Chaos City and began gestating a second clone from Shadow Clan hair. He entered the Tongtian Bridge Plane, where Guardian Bafen explained that its 52 bridges corresponded to the 52 Chaos Tablets.

• Luo Feng received one million points and, following Lin Mo's advice, chose a quiet residence on the outskirts of Chaos City.
• Luo Feng used the Golden Horned Beast's innate secret technique to begin gestating a second clone from Shadow Clan hair.
• Luo Feng connected to the Virtual Universe and applied to enter the Heavenly Bridge, gaining permanent access.
• Luo Feng arrived in the Tongtian Bridge Plane and met Guardian Bafen, who explained that each of its 52 bridges corresponded to a Chaos Stele.

Luo Feng challenged the Universe Heavenly Bridge and defeated its first-floor guardian with the Yan Shen Armament’s fourth style, Great Skill Appears Clumsy. The path to the second floor opened before him.

• Luo Feng told Bafen he would challenge the Heavenly Bridge immediately and flew onto the Universe Heavenly Bridge.
• Luo Feng ignored the Virtual Universe Company’s automatic email and chose a Controller as his first-floor opponent.
• The guardian formed from black liquid and attacked with the Yan Shen Armament’s second style, Sky Piercing Style.
• Luo Feng unleashed the fourth style, Great Skill Appears Clumsy, combining 1,600 swords into a massive golden pillar.
• Luo Feng smashed the guardian and cleared the first floor, revealing the bridge to the second floor.

Luo Feng quickly defeated the second-floor illusionist guardian and challenged a fighter on the third floor to improve his close combat. As the fighter’s strange time- and space-based saber techniques began to overwhelm him, Luo Feng unleashed the Yan Shen Armament’s fourth layer.

• Luo Feng chose a Spirit Reader Illusionist on the second floor and resisted the guardian’s soul illusion without difficulty.
• Luo Feng rushed the illusionist, grabbed him, and defeated him, clearing the second floor.
• Luo Feng chose a fighter on the third floor, hoping to strengthen his close-combat skills.
• The third-floor guardian attacked with twin sabers infused with time and space laws, forcing Luo Feng to fight defensively with the Yan Shen Armament’s third layer.
• Nearly overwhelmed by the guardian’s attacks, Luo Feng abandoned the third-layer sword formation and activated Great Skill Appears Clumsy.

Luo Feng cleared the third floor of the Heavenly Bridge, earning Bafen’s praise and 7,000 points during his Chaos City newcomer period. After purchasing cultivation resources and a secret technique, he decided to pursue dual cultivation as a Fighter and Spirit Reader.

• Luo Feng defeated the third-floor guardian with the Yan Shen Armament’s Fourth Layer and chose not to challenge the fourth floor.
• Bafen praised Luo Feng for clearing three floors and advised him to make good use of his thirty years in Chaos City.
• Luo Feng checked his account, received 7,000 points from the challenge, and bought resources for the Cloud-Touching Vine and the first three volumes of True Explanation of Chaos.
• Luo Feng told Lin Mo that his close-combat blade skills had weakened and asked how he could overcome his disadvantage against Fighters.
• Lin Mo explained the risks of dual cultivation, and Luo Feng resolved to train as both a Fighter and a Spirit Reader; Lin Mo approved.

After buying three blade technique manuals, Luo Feng reviewed the other geniuses’ Heavenly Bridge results and learned that Rong Jun had become Yuan Chen Country Lord’s disciple. Lin Mo explained that Rong Jun’s race might connect him to Giant Axe Founder, then taught Luo Feng about the universe’s highest power levels, leaving Luo Feng inspired to cultivate harder.

• Luo Feng spent about 180,000 points on three top-tier blade technique manuals and returned to cultivating law comprehension in Chaos City.
• Luo Feng read the Heavenly Bridge results: he ranked first after clearing three floors, Bolan ranked second, and Rong Jun ranked third.
• Luo Feng discovered that Rong Jun had become Yuan Chen Country Lord’s disciple and asked Lin Mo why Rong Jun had attracted such attention.
• Lin Mo said Rong Jun might share Giant Axe Founder’s race and explained the ranks above Universe Venerables, including Universe Supreme Masters.
• Luo Feng resolved to pursue the distant heights of cultivation and resumed his law comprehension with renewed determination.

After a month of cultivation in Chaos City, Luo Feng followed Lin Mo’s advice to hunt Chaos Beasts and improve his soul’s attunement to the universe. He ventured into the wilderness and killed an ape-like Chaos Beast, leaving its chaos true spirit floating above the dissolving corpse.

• Lin Mo told Luo Feng that his secluded cultivation had reached a bottleneck and explained how absorbing chaos true spirits could sharpen his perception of the laws.
• Luo Feng left Chaos City and read the stone tablet outlining the danger zones and the levels of Chaos Beasts outside the city.
• Luo Feng saw a wounded group of Genius Battle participants return with a dead companion, but he still chose to hunt in the wilderness.
• Luo Feng landed more than a thousand kilometers from Chaos City and cautiously searched the weeds for Chaos Beasts.
• Luo Feng used the Yan Shen Armament to kill an ape-like Chaos Beast with a surprise attack, and a chaos true spirit rose from its dissolving corpse.

After absorbing a Universe Level Chaos True Spirit, Luo Feng felt his soul’s alignment with the universe improve and proposed hunting a World Lord Level Chaos Beast. Lin Mo temporarily raised him to the peak of World Lord Level stage nine, but an overwhelming probe forced Lin Mo to withdraw the borrowed power, leaving Luo Feng to continue hunting in the inner region.

• Luo Feng absorbed a Universe Level Chaos True Spirit and noticed his soul had become more closely aligned with the universe.
• Luo Feng asked Lin Mo to raise him to World Lord Level so he could hunt a World Lord Level Chaos Beast, and Lin Mo agreed to take the risk.
• Lin Mo’s soul power temporarily lifted Luo Feng to the peak of World Lord Level stage nine, letting him perceive the laws of the universe with new clarity.
• An unexplained probing power entered Luo Feng’s sea of consciousness, so Lin Mo withdrew his power and Luo Feng fell back to Universe Level.
• Lin Mo warned Luo Feng that the borrowed power could not be used to farm resources, and Luo Feng gave up hunting World Lord Level Chaos Beasts and stayed in the inner region.

After eight months of hunting Chaos Beasts and cultivating, Luo Feng found that Chaos True Spirits barely improved his soul and decided to test his progress on the Heavenly Bridge. He returned to Chaos City and stepped onto the bridge to challenge its fourth floor.

• Luo Feng slaughtered more than a dozen Universe Level Chaos Beasts, absorbed their Chaos True Spirits, and found they offered almost no improvement to his soul.
• Babata reported that Bolan had cleared the third floor of the Universe Heavenly Bridge, and Luo Feng asked Lin Mo whether he should keep hunting or challenge the fourth floor.
• Lin Mo advised Luo Feng to attempt the fourth floor but stop there until he could unleash the fifth stage of the Yan Shen Armament.
• Luo Feng returned to Chaos City and connected to the Virtual Universe Network, where the gathered geniuses discussed his likely fourth-floor challenge.
• Rong Jun asked Luo Feng whether he was confident of clearing the fourth floor, and Luo Feng said he would do his best before stepping onto the Universe Heavenly Bridge.

Luo Feng challenged the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge and defeated its Silver-Clad Man guardian in a clash between their Yan Shen Armaments. He cleared the level, ended the challenge, and returned to the Central Plaza.

• Luo Feng reached the end of the fourth level and chose to fight the Controller guardian.
• The Silver-Clad Man attacked with the Yan Shen Armament’s fourth layer, Great Skill Appears Clumsy, controlling 1,600 golden swords.
• Luo Feng unleashed the same technique with greater control, and the two fighters formed massive golden pillars for a head-on clash.
• Luo Feng’s golden pillar broke the guardian’s pillar and destroyed the Silver-Clad Man.
• Luo Feng cleared the fourth level, ended the challenge, and reappeared in the Central Plaza.

Luo Feng passed the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge, then entered deep seclusion in Chaos City to consolidate his insights before using his Chaos Stele study opportunities. While he cultivated, his family grew and Earth established ties with the universe and began developing rapidly.

• Luo Feng announced that he had passed the fourth level of the Heavenly Bridge, and Guardian Bafen sent the news to the other qualified geniuses.
• Bolan learned that Luo Feng had surpassed his recent third-level achievement and reacted with shock and worry.
• Luo Feng chose to consolidate his insights through deep cultivation before using his four opportunities to study the Universe Chaos Stele.
• Luo Ping married in 2082 and had a child, and Luo Feng learned through the Virtual Universe Network that he had become a grandfather.
• Xu Xin secured a long-term agreement with the God Lord of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire in 2085, and Luo Feng funded the founding of Pinghai Limited Company with 5,000 Hunyuan Units.
• As Earth developed, Luo Hai left for the universe in 2089 after reaching Star Level, and the Mars terraforming project began in 2099.

During his tenth year in Chaos City, Luo Feng learned from Xu Xin that Hong and Thunder God had gone adventuring in the universe, the Fire Hammer Squad had reached the planetary level, and Wei Wen had refused his offer of resources. As Luo Feng prepared to resume studying the Chaos Stele, Long Yu King arrived in Chaos City and discussed the Genius Battle contestants with True Yan King and Tong Nan King.

• Luo Feng read Xu Xin's email about Hong and Thunder God leaving their Dojo positions to explore the universe together.
• Luo Feng learned that Xu Xin had helped the Fire Hammer Squad reach the planetary level, while Wei Wen had refused Luo Feng's cultivation resources to preserve their brotherhood.
• Luo Feng accepted his friends' choices, felt more peaceful, and prepared to end his seclusion and study the Chaos Stele.
• Long Yu King arrived in Chaos City and met with True Yan King and Tong Nan King.
• Tong Nan King said that nine Genius Battle contestants had stood out, with Luo Feng and Bolan clearing the fourth Heavenly Bridge level and seven others clearing the second.

After ten years of secluded cultivation, Luo Feng returned to study the Universe Chaos Stele, while Lin Mo eagerly joined him and focused on its deepest diagrams. The chapter left them studying separately, with Luo Feng progressing through the foundational material and Lin Mo probing the final three diagrams.

• True Yan King lamented that Luo Feng had chosen a different Chaos Stele, despite clearing four Heavenly Bridge floors in his first year, while Tong Nan King teased him.
• Long Yu King suggested that a powerful human Venerable might have secretly taken Luo Feng as a disciple because he had risen from Earth’s harsh environment.
• Luo Feng met Kandri and used one of his remaining study opportunities to enter the Universe Chaos Stele chamber for seven days.
• Lin Mo told Luo Feng that he was cultivating now to prepare for a future reversal of time and space.
• Luo Feng studied the first diagram with far greater efficiency than before, while Lin Mo skipped the first six diagrams and focused on the final three.

After ten years of cultivation and seven days studying the Chaos Stele, Luo Feng returned to the Heavenly Bridge to test his strength. Long Yu King, True Yan King, and Tong Nan King came to watch as he reached the fifth floor and chose to face a Fighter.

• Luo Feng left the Chaos Stele chamber after his seven-day study and returned to his Cultivation Residence, eager to test the results of his ten years of cultivation.
• Luo Feng entered the Virtual Universe and reached the Universe Heavenly Bridge, where Guardian Bafen noticed how much his control over space law had improved.
• Bafen informed Long Yu King that Luo Feng was challenging the Heavenly Bridge, prompting her to invite True Yan King and Tong Nan King to watch.
• Luo Feng passed the first four floors without obstruction and reached the fifth floor.
• Luo Feng chose Fighter as his opponent, and a black-armored figure wearing a silver mask appeared from the tornado.

Luo Feng fought the fifth-level Heavenly Bridge guardian with twin sabers, relying on brute force and relentless offense before switching to the Yan Shen Armament. He defeated the guardian and cleared the fifth level.

• Luo Feng summoned two fifth-order sabers and charged the black-armored guardian in a head-on clash.
• Luo Feng abandoned his usual Spirit Reader tactics and overwhelmed the guardian with savage, all-offense saber attacks.
• The injured guardian retreated to keep his distance, and Luo Feng chased him until he regained his composure and put away his sabers.
• Luo Feng summoned the Yan Shen Armament and destroyed the guardian with an enormous dark golden pillar.
• The guardian asked how Luo Feng could be a Spirit Reader before dissolving, and the system announced that Luo Feng had cleared the fifth level of the Universe Heavenly Bridge.

After Luo Feng cleared the fifth level of the Heavenly Bridge with a fierce close-combat fight, Long Yu King and the others were stunned to learn he was heading for the sixth. Lin Mo estimated Luo Feng had only a thirty-percent chance of clearing it, but encouraged him to try.

• Long Yu King and True Yan King marveled at Luo Feng’s fighting style, and Long Yu King received a recording of his fifth-level challenge from Guardian Bafen.
• Guardian Bafen told Long Yu King, True Yan King, and Tong Nan King that Luo Feng was continuing to the sixth level, so they stayed to watch.
• Luo Feng reached the sixth level, where Lin Mo estimated his chance of success at about thirty percent and said deeper mastery of the Yan Shen Armament’s fifth stage could improve it.
• Luo Feng explained that years of intense cultivation had left little time to master the fifth stage, and Lin Mo acknowledged his effort and urged him to challenge the level.
