Chapter Summaries

Xu Long secured half of the Flint Crystal deposit while the other S-ranks negotiated over the rest, then a strange celestial upheaval revealed that the Main God was merging world fragments into the Great Wilderness. The chapter left Xu Long contemplating the returning world’s growing population and the conflicts humanity might face as other races appeared.

• Xu Long offered the other S-ranks a share of the Flint Crystal, and they argued over how to divide what remained while the Fire King and the Mount Mang Corpse King hesitated.
• The Pope produced contracts, and the group agreed that Xu Long would receive half of the Flint Crystal deposit while the countries jointly mined it.
• The Blood Wolf King prepared to leave when a violent tremor shook the land and the sun, moon, and stars appeared together in the sky.
• Xu Long recognized that the Main God was merging world fragments into the Great Wilderness and considered how the returning world might revive its ancient civilization.
• Xu Long worried that the expanding population and the possible arrival of other races would bring conflict for humanity.

Xu Long returned to Aiji as the Great Wilderness Main World began changing, and he used the Red Queen’s technology to blast away the strange energy blocking a Flint Crystal mine. The mine’s interior remained inaccessible to telekinesis, leaving the S-rank experts wary of what dangers awaited inside.

• Xu Long recognized that the coming changes would leave humanity vulnerable, so he had the Red Queen develop technology and planned to give everyone a chance to cultivate.
• Aiji’s construction crew failed to dig through the Flint Crystal mine, and even advanced equipment made little progress until the experts realized cultivators would have to intervene.
• After returning to Aiji, Xu Long learned that the Mount Mang Corpse King could break through the force around the mine, but mining the scattered crystals that way would cost too much.
• The Red Queen analyzed the energy and told Xu Long to clear the area, then fired a massive beam that dispersed the barrier and blasted open the mine.
• Xu Long found that his telekinesis still could not penetrate the mine, and the S-rank experts held back rather than risk entering without knowing what lay within.

Xu Long sent Tyrants and other explorers into the Flint Crystal mine, where they encountered a powerful tentacled life-form and growing interference. After the underground signal cut out, Xu Long ordered particle-cannon strikes to blast open the mine, alarming the gathered S-ranks.

• The S-ranks forced the Rice Country's cyborgs to investigate the mine, but none returned or sent a signal.
• Xu Long revealed his spaceship, issued communicators to A-rank Tyrants, and sent them and the other factions' subordinates underground.
• The explorers encountered a massive tentacle that smashed several Tyrants, while the Red Queen reported that the mine extended far underground and might conceal something more than Flint Crystal.
• After the explorers descended over five thousand meters and the interference intensified, Xu Long ordered the Tyrants to retreat, but a tremor cut off the signal.
• The Red Queen reported that the Tyrants had self-destructed after meeting an overwhelming threat, and Xu Long ordered satellite particle cannons to bombard the mine.
• The S-ranks reacted with alarm to the rapid, concentrated barrage as Xu Long regarded their fear with disdain.

Xu Long claimed the Flint Crystal mine after his space-based weapons killed the creature hidden inside, which he identified as an outer-realm being. The Yanhuang Divine Kingdom’s founding reshaped global power, leaving it Earth’s undisputed hegemon while most applicants failed to meet its strict entry requirements.

• Xu Long’s particle cannons blasted open the mine and killed a sea-urchin-shaped creature that he said came from another world.
• Xu Long claimed the Flint Crystal mine, and the others accepted his demand after witnessing the bombardment.
• The Yanhuang Divine Kingdom announced its advanced technology and Gene Strengthening Agents, but strict household registration requirements disqualified most applicants.
• The Fire King recognized that the creature’s remains were not from Earth and connected the threat to the mysterious words “Main God.”
• After the United Nations proposed sanctions and Rice Country threatened nuclear strikes, a vast beam destroyed Washington, D.C., and the New York district, while Rice Country’s fleets and nuclear capabilities were disabled.
• The Yanhuang Divine Kingdom became Earth’s hegemon, and high-end professionals who sought to move to Oceania were mostly rejected.

Xu Long bought skills for Rice Bucket and acquired the Primordial Chaos Art, then used the Main God to upgrade it into an S-rank art that only people with Chinese blood could cultivate and that purified their bloodlines. He then asked whether his other skills could be upgraded.

• Xu Long set out Yanhuang Divine Kingdom's language, currency, and technological standards as requirements for obtaining its genetic potions and treatment.
• Xu Long bought Heart-Rending Claw and Power of Gale for Rice Bucket and purchased the Primordial Chaos Art for himself.
• Xu Long spent two million points on A+-rank claws for Rice Bucket but found no suitable equipment for Weak Water.
• Xu Long asked the Main God to raise the Primordial Chaos Art's limit to S-rank, restrict its users to people with Chinese blood, and make it purify bloodlines.
• The Main God charged Xu Long five million points and 50 permission, and the upgraded art began purifying his Pure Yang Internal Force.
• Xu Long asked the Main God whether his skills could be upgraded.

Xu Long upgraded his Curse Speech Technique and entered the ultra-high-difficulty world of The Legend of Sword and Fairy as Li Xiaoyao. He arrived in Yuhang Town facing a ten-year survival mission and a severe shortage of Spirit Stones.

• Xu Long spent 180 authority to upgrade the Curse Speech Technique, hoping it would let him use Heavenly Eye without dying.
• The Main God offered five identities for the new world, and Xu Long spent 20 authority to take Li Xiaoyao’s place.
• Xu Long arrived in Yuhang Town and learned that his only mission was to survive for ten years in an ultra-high-danger xianxia world.
• Xu Long reflected that Spirit Stones were scarce both in the Main World and the Reincarnation Temple’s trading area, leaving him with only seven thousand.

Xu Long returned to Yuhang Town, left Rice Bucket to watch over Li Pheobe, and traveled to Fairy Spirit Island, where he found Zhao Ling'er bathing. Zhao Ling'er recognized him as Brother Xiaoyao, welcomed him affectionately, and he warned her that teasing him could get her spanked.

• Xu Long recalled the story of The Legend of Sword and Fairy and decided that he would handle Zhao Ling'er's plans to save the world his own way.

• Zhao Ling'er attacked Xu Long, then recognized him as Brother Xiaoyao and threw herself into his arms.
• Xu Long told Zhao Ling'er not to tempt him unless she wanted to be spanked, leaving her confused.

Xu Long’s encounter with Zhao Ling’er triggered a dangerous transformation in his Power of Pure Yang. By sunrise, he faced a choice between gaining an S-rank special ability or sacrificing it to push his bloodline toward an unimaginable level.

• Xu Long stayed on Fairy Spirit Island with Zhao Ling’er and Granny, while he pondered the power of Nüwa’s bloodline.
• After Xu Long visited Zhao Ling’er in her room at night, her Nüwa-descendant energy detonated the Power of Pure Yang within him.

• As his power stabilized at sunrise, Xu Long considered sacrificing the S-rank ability emerging from his transformation to push his bloodline beyond its limits.

Xu Long evolved his bloodline into an extreme yang severed yin body, then returned to Fairy Spirit Island and helped Granny bring Zhao Ling'er and a female cultivator to Yuhang Town. He found Rice Bucket exhausted from running the inn, which had grown busy while Xu Long was away.

• Xu Long devoured an ability, evolved his bloodline, and reached the threshold of the third stage of soul transformation.
• Xu Long returned to Fairy Spirit Island unharmed, reunited with Zhao Ling'er, and spent two days there with her.

• Xu Long used Instant Transmission to bring the group to the inn, where he learned Rice Bucket had been cooking, doing laundry, and caring for Li Pheobe while serving a growing crowd of customers.

Xu Long met the Wine Sword Immortal, Mo Yixi, and revealed that he had a daughter with the Holy Maiden. He traded the promise of her name and whereabouts for Mo Yixi’s half of the Concentric Pendant, then left Mo Yixi demanding answers.

• Xu Long sensed the Wine Sword Immortal’s arrival outside Yuhang Town and confronted him, reminding him of their meeting ten years earlier.
• Xu Long told Mo Yixi that he had fallen into decline because he remained trapped by his past love for Lin Qing’er.
• Xu Long revealed that Mo Yixi had fathered a child with the Holy Maiden eighteen years earlier.
• Xu Long asked Mo Yixi for the Concentric Pendant and promised to reveal the child’s name and whereabouts in exchange for it.
• Mo Yixi handed Xu Long the pendant and urgently demanded to know where his daughter was.

After Granny died in a Moon Worship Sect attack, Xu Long set out with Zhao Ling'er for the Nanzhao Kingdom, intending to find Anu and collect the Five Spirit Pearls. In Suzhou, he encountered Liu Jinyuan and arranged to help him, while forming a plan involving the scholar and his cousin Lin Yueru.

• Xu Long told the Wine Sword Immortal that Anu had the other half of the Conjoined Heart Pendant and could be found in Nanzhao or the Central Plains.
• Xu Long found Granny mortally wounded after Moon Worship Sect followers attacked the clinic, and Granny asked him to protect Zhao Ling'er and take her to the Nanzhao Kingdom before dying.
• Xu Long burned Granny's body and left for Nanzhao with Zhao Ling'er to find Anu and gather the Five Spirit Pearls before the Moon Worship Sect Leader could use them.
• At an inn, Xu Long recognized Liu Jinyuan and planned to get to know him, while Zhao Ling'er asked what he was plotting.
• Xu Long stopped a man from killing Liu Jinyuan by breaking the attacker's saber with chopsticks, and Liu Jinyuan offered to repay him by covering his expenses.
• Xu Long accepted Liu Jinyuan's offer and decided to speak with him after they ate, thinking of Liu's cousin Lin Yueru.

Xu Long tried to push Liu Jinyuan and Lin Yueru together, but his spell and teasing led Liu Jinyuan to steal Lin Yueru’s first kiss. Lin Tiannan believed Lin Yueru’s accusation that Xu Long had used sorcery and attacked him.

• At dinner in the Lin Family Fortress, Lin Yueru questioned Xu Long about his martial arts, and Xu Long urged Liu Jinyuan to learn to pursue her more boldly.
• Xu Long immobilized Lin Yueru and instructed Liu Jinyuan to kiss her, then released her as Liu Jinyuan followed his directions.
• Lin Yueru kicked Liu Jinyuan away, accused Xu Long of using sorcery, and threatened him with her sword.
• Lin Tiannan returned after hearing the commotion, accepted Lin Yueru’s account, and attacked Xu Long.

Xu Long defeated Lin Tiannan with a puppet and took Liu Jinyuan as his disciple, teaching him the Primordial Chaos Art. Lin Yueru tried to flee after becoming fixated on the day's events, but her father confined her, while Xu Long began training Liu Jinyuan harshly.

• Xu Long used a Great Qin Bronze Man and the Sword-Breaking Stance to defeat Lin Tiannan, then asked Liu Jinyuan if he would become his disciple.
• Liu Jinyuan accepted, and Xu Long transmitted the Primordial Chaos Art to him; Liu Jinyuan cultivated internal force in less than half a day.

• Xu Long offered Liu Jinyuan the Lulu Sword and Pangu Banner, but Liu Jinyuan insisted on relying on his own efforts.

• The next day, Xu Long praised Liu Jinyuan, while Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling'er rolled their eyes at the two men’s conversation.

Xu Long and Zhao Ling'er traveled toward the Five Spirit Pearls, and Ling'er's Nüwa bloodline awakened, revealing that she was pregnant. They reached a town ravaged by the Red Ghost King, where Zhao Ling'er chose to help the afflicted.

• Xu Long comforted Zhao Ling'er when she transformed into a half-human, half-dragon, then explained that their unborn child had awakened her Nüwa bloodline.
• Xu Long suppressed Ling'er's transformation as her power surged from C-rank to near S-rank, and he told her they would have a daughter.

• Xu Long and Zhao Ling'er arrived at a town where the Red Ghost King was spreading corpse poison from the General's Tomb to cultivate with the Earth Spirit Pearl.
• Zhao Ling'er asked Xu Long whether they could save the people infected with corpse poison, and she decided to save as many as she could.

Xu Long and Zhao Ling'er investigated the source of the zombie outbreak after treating the afflicted townspeople. Guided by Little Stone, they reached the General's Tomb, where Xu Long attacked the Skeleton General.

• Zhao Ling'er saved several people bitten by zombies, but she exhausted much of her strength and could not save those already overtaken by corpse poison.
• When the town leader tried to stop them, Xu Long killed him and then went with Zhao Ling'er to seek Master Zhixiu at the Jade Buddha Temple.
• Xu Long kicked Master Zhixiu, revealing him as Little Stone, a demon prayer bead, who explained that the Red Ghost King was using the Skeleton General to spread corpse poison from the General's Tomb.
• Little Stone guided Xu Long, Zhao Ling'er, and Rice Bucket to the General's Tomb, where Xu Long destroyed the zombies outside and entered alone.
• The Skeleton General rose from his coffin and was struck by Xu Long's sword before he could see his attacker.

• Xu Long killed the Skeleton General with two sword strikes, and Little Stone explained that his power belonged to the ancient gods.
• Xu Long rejected Little Stone's claim that he was a god's reincarnation and entered the burial chamber.

• Xu Long dispelled the spell hiding Anu's appearance, and Anu and Zhao Ling'er recognized each other and reunited.

Xu Long traveled with Zhao Ling'er and Anu while preparing for a possible battle, and he used the Concentric Pendant, which he believed would connect him to a formidable destined enemy. Shi Gonghu and Tang Yu arrived with Nanzhao forces and found the carriage surrounded by wolves; Tang Yu reunited with Anu as Zhao Ling'er recognized who had come.

• Xu Long welcomed Anu into the carriage and gave her and Rice Bucket roast chicken while he prepared for a possible battle.
• The Witch King ordered Shi Gonghu to bring Zhao Ling'er back, so Shi Gonghu traveled to the Central Plains with Tang Yu and others, followed by the Moon Worship Sect.
• Xu Long joined the two halves of the Concentric Pendant, used it, and concluded that his destined other half was likely a formidable enemy outside this world.
• Rice Bucket's howl summoned thousands of wolves, and Shi Gonghu's party followed them to Xu Long's carriage, where wolf kings bounded around it.
• Tang Yu rushed to rescue Anu, but she recognized him and leaped into his arms; Zhao Ling'er saw them and realized Shi Gonghu's party had arrived.
