Chapter Summaries

Han Xing, Long Yu, Radiant Gleam, Miao Qing, and Coal Ball fought the Leaf-Spine Worm swarm, and Han Xing rapidly leveled to 110 by killing them. After nearly four days, the swarm had barely diminished, suggesting something had changed inside, so Radiant Gleam proposed leading everyone into it.

• Han Xing captured the Leaf-Spine Worm King, then agreed to treat Radiant Gleam, Miao Qing, and Long Yu to a meal as thanks for their help.

• As the group prepared to leave, Han Xing heard a voice calling him downward; everyone then heard it, and a strange force erupted from the abyss.

• Meiqiu stored the Sorrow Statue in his Pet Space, and the group arrived at the Great Beast Lord’s territory, where Han Xing noticed its atmosphere had grown more solemn.

Han Xing returned to the Beastman Kingdom and learned that the Southern Domain Prodigy Challenge would allow High-Level Lords to participate, raising the stakes and prompting the Nether Shadow Pavilion to place a bounty on him and Radiant Gleam.

Back at his tower, he learned that the Dark Altar had been deciphered and could now be used to summon mid-tier heroes.

• Han Xing began absorbing Origin Energy from the Origin Cores to expand his territory, while his consciousness connected with the land and tens of thousands of years passed.

After absorbing all the Origin Cores he had gathered, Han Xing began the physical transformation needed to advance to Intermediate Lord, but taking in all eight elemental origins at once put his body and territory under severe strain. As his body cracked and disasters ravaged the world within his territory, the Radiant Gleam Lord arrived and recognized the danger, leaving Han Xing’s fate uncertain.

• Han Xing finished absorbing ten boxes of Origin Cores over 1.02 million years, expanding his territory hundreds of times and completing the first step toward becoming an Intermediate Lord.

• Radiant Gleam Lord arrived, realized Han Xing had absorbed all eight origins at once, and warned that his body could explode or suffer severe damage; Miao Qing and Meiqiu begged her to save him, and she agreed.
