Jiang Ziliu learned from Ailande how to activate the Dwarf King's Hammer and explored the living small world inside the damaged Demigod Artifact. He realized it could become a safe home for his parents and a mobile base for his pet beasts.

• The Forging Throne entered slumber after telling Jiang Ziliu that the Lover King's Hammer contained a small world and that he would help with a fifth pet beast when he awoke.
• Jiang Ziliu asked Miss Ailande about ranks above Supreme and the small world inside the Dwarf King's Hammer, and she explained that she needed Elemental Crystals to activate it.

• Jiang Ziliu decided the small world could shelter his parents, give his pet beasts room to roam, and serve as a safe mobile base.

Jiang Ziliu explored the Dwarf King's hidden treasure vaults in the small world and learned how Ailande came to acknowledge him as her master. After discovering the vast stores of resources, he set off for Base No. 12.

• Jiang Ziliu released A Kun, Lady White, and Thousand Faces to roam freely through the small world.

• Jiang Ziliu ran into former classmates on his way home, who were surprised he had returned after years without contact.
• Jiang Ziliu reunited with his parents and reassured them that his adventures had not been as dangerous as they feared.
• Jiang Ziliu brought his parents to his small world and explained that it belonged to his demigod artifact.

• Jiang Ziliu showed his parents around the small world, and the next day they agreed to live there.

Jiang Ziliu discovered that Li Wanqiu and her companions were heading into a perilous operation against the Blood Eye Adventure Group near ancient ruins where a supreme rank exotic beast slept. He realized that their mission could awaken the beast and turn the raid into a disaster.

• Jiang Ziliu settled his parents in the small world, supplied them with resources and forging notes, and prepared to leave Base No. 12.
• Jiang Ziliu spotted Li Wanqiu, Tang Yunu, and another former classmate leaving the base, then secretly followed them and sensed danger around them.
• Li Wanqiu told Tang Yunu that they were joining a supposedly secure operation to encircle the Blood Eye Adventure Group, backed by silver rank tamers and a gold rank expert.
• Jiang Ziliu learned from Ailande that a supreme rank exotic beast slept in the nearby ancient ruins and that no powerful protector was following the women.
• Li Wanqiu revealed that the Blood Eye Adventure Group's lair lay less than three hundred meters from the ruins, and Jiang Ziliu realized the operation might awaken the beast.

Jiang Ziliu used Probability Judgment to discover that a Supreme Rank exotic beast was likely to awaken during the operation against the Blood Eye Adventure Group and destroy both sides. He secretly warned Li Wanqiu and Tang Yunu, who abandoned the mission and left the region as a new storm approached.

• Jiang Ziliu calculated a 95.6% chance that the operation would awaken the Supreme Rank exotic beast and an 87.3% chance that both sides would suffer devastating losses.
• Jiang Ziliu secretly warned Li Wanqiu and Tang Yunu to leave, explaining that the Blood Eye Adventure Group's contingency was not the real danger and that Li Wanqiu's guardian could not be trusted.
• Tang Yunu recognized Jiang Ziliu as her former deskmate, while Li Wanqiu failed to detect his presence with her reconnaissance skill.
• Tang Yunu decided to abandon the mission, and Li Wanqiu agreed and urged her to leave with her.
• Jiang Ziliu learned that Li Wanqiu and Tang Yunu had believed him and left the region; Li Wanqiu also found an excuse to take her father away.

Jiang Ziliu observed the military encirclement of the Blood Eye Adventure Group through a projection and learned that its leader was an Altar Master of the Sacred Beast Cult. The attack began with overwhelming forces in place, but the cultists refused to surrender.

• Jiang Ziliu sent A Kun to observe the Blood Eye Adventure Group while his real body retreated nearly three hundred kilometers away.
• Jiang Ziliu saw that the group’s mountain lair was protected by forbidden military barrier equipment capable of resisting powerful attacks.
• Ailande revealed that two Diamond Rank beast tamers were hidden among the forces surrounding the lair.
• Jiang Ziliu observed an army of over ten thousand beast tamers, including more than sixty Silver Rank tamers, launch the encirclement and attack.
• The Gold Rank commander identified the leader as the Altar Master of the Sacred Beast Cult’s Thirty-Ninth Altar and offered leniency to anyone who surrendered.
• The Blood Eye Adventure Group remained silent inside its barrier, and Jiang Ziliu realized it was a secret branch of the Sacred Beast Cult.

The chapter explained how the Sacred Beast Cult arose from a researcher’s successful but corrupting experiments to fuse humans with exotic beast bloodlines. It recounted the cult’s role in the Dark Faith Rebellion and the Nameless Hero’s victory, then left Jiang Ziliu reflecting on the Blood Eye Adventure Group’s grim choices after their collusion was exposed.

• A D-rank researcher developed a way to fuse humans with exotic beast bloodlines, but the subjects gradually lost their intelligence and became more hostile than ordinary exotic beasts.
• The researcher fused himself with a powerful beast bloodline and restored his intelligence by worshipping it, then created obedient, powerful followers who became the original Sacred Beast Cult.
• The cult secretly recruited people and gained protection from powerful families until it joined other races and exotic beasts in attacking humanity, beginning the Dark Faith Rebellion.
• The Nameless Hero killed the cult’s first supreme pontiff, destroyed most of the cult, repelled the invasions, and helped establish the Human Grand Alliance.
• Humanity’s leadership imposed execution or life imprisonment and the forcible removal of tamed beasts as punishments for collusion with the Sacred Beast Cult.
• Jiang Ziliu realized the Blood Eye Adventure Group faced a choice between resisting capture and suffering the consequences of their betrayal.

Three Gold Rank beastmasters launched a probing attack on the Blood Eye Adventure Group’s energy shield, but their combined strike failed to break it. They prepared a second assault using a mysterious azure star chain, leaving Jiang Ziliu waiting to see what effect it would have.

• The commander ordered a probing attack, and a Gold Rank beastmaster sent his Golden Lion, Profound Lightning Unicorn Snake, and Crimson Flame Dragon Beastman against the base.
• The three contracted beasts combined their attacks against the energy shield, but it recovered quickly after dimming and held firm.
• The Gold Rank beastmasters discussed their next move while the surrounding forces maintained the encirclement.
• One beastmaster summoned a Gold Rank wind-attribute eagle to patrol the sky, while another summoned a giant white rabbit with five halos.
• The rabbit linked the Golden Lion, Profound Lightning Unicorn Snake, and Crimson Flame Dragon Beastman with an azure star chain as the three prepared to attack again.

Jiang Ziliu watched two Gold Rank beast tamers breach the Blood Eye Adventure Group’s defenses with a Meteorite Gold Electromagnetic Cannon, only to expose a mountain fused with living flesh. The Sacred Beast Cult’s altar master revealed that the encirclement was his trap, then awakened his nearly thousand-meter Earth Flesh Fusion Beast.

• Two Gold Rank beast tamers combined their tamed beasts’ powers to fire a Meteorite Gold Electromagnetic Cannon that shattered the Blood Eye Adventure Group’s energy shield.
• The Gold Rank tamers fired again, but their attack exposed a web of flesh fused throughout the mountain that began healing the damage.
• The Sacred Beast Cult’s altar master revealed himself as the leader of the Blood Eye Adventure Group and admitted he had engineered the encirclement to complete his experiment.
• The altar master called the mountain his Earth Flesh Fusion Beast and boasted that he would use the attackers to test it and replenish its flesh.
• The Gold Rank commander ordered a retreat as the mountain awakened into a gigantic monster nearly a thousand meters tall.

A thousand-meter fusion colossus created by the Sacred Beast Cult attacked the encircling beast tamers with poisonous, corrosive tentacles. After the Gold Rank experts destroyed it with a massive strike, it regenerated completely, and its controller declared that nothing could kill it.

• A Gold Rank beast tamer identified the colossus as a nine-star Gold Rank creature with Diamond Rank combat strength and ordered lower-ranked forces to retreat.
• The colossus split three tentacles into thousands of tendrils, but Gold Rank contracted beasts destroyed most of them and protected the retreating soldiers; seven beast tamers died.
• The colossus restored its destroyed tentacles with a flash of red light, prompting the Gold Rank experts to suspect it possessed Rebirth from a Drop of Blood.
• The Crimson Flame Dragon Beastman struck the colossus with a massive meteor, vaporizing much of its body, but the creature regenerated completely without losing strength.
• The colossus's controller boasted that energy, physical, soul, and mental attacks could not kill it, and threatened to absorb the encircling army.

The fusion beast transformed into an enormous flesh bell and unleashed a devastating mental attack, incapacitating most of the human forces. As the surviving Diamond Rank beast tamers fled, a Supreme Rank colorful butterfly appeared and destroyed the Sacred Beast Cult altar master by trapping him and the souls sustaining his immortality in endless dreams.

• The fusion beast became an eight-hundred-meter flesh bell and knocked out nearly all beast tamers below Gold Rank with a mental attack.
• Two Diamond Rank beast tamers appeared, evacuated the unconscious forces, and fled south with the three injured Gold Rank beast tamers.
• The altar master aimed the flesh bell at a fleeing Diamond Rank beast tamer, but a colorful butterfly appeared behind him.
• The Supreme Rank colorful butterfly put the altar master and the souls imprisoned in the fusion beast into repeating death dreams, overcoming his Soul Substitute Death Technique.
• The flesh bell crumbled into ash as Ailande explained what had happened to Jiang Ziliu.

Jiang Ziliu learned that the Supreme Rank dream butterfly had been forced to awaken before completing its metamorphosis and was attacking everyone responsible. As Lightning Spear Supreme’s power interrupted its dream domain, Jiang Ziliu fled to pursue the black crystal the Forging Throne had told him to obtain.

• Ailande explained that the flesh amalgamation monster had disrupted the dream butterfly’s metamorphosis, causing the furious beast to attack the fleeing humans.
• The dream butterfly spread its domain across nearly a thousand li, suppressing the humans and beasts and forcing Jiang Ziliu’s projection and A Kun out of hiding.
• The dream butterfly’s attack devastated the surrounding terrain, injuring A Kun and shattering Jiang Ziliu’s projection before Ailande restored it.
• A Diamond Rank beast tamer activated a short metal spear, summoning Lightning Spear Supreme’s lightning figure to awaken those trapped in dreams and interrupt the domain.
• Jiang Ziliu fled farther into the earth’s space while Ailande remained to rescue A Kun, intending to obtain the black crystal at the Forging Throne’s instruction.

The Lightning Spear Supreme’s projection confronted the Illusory Dream Colorful Butterfly and forced her to answer for her actions. Jiang Ziliu’s unexpected arrival had changed the battle’s outcome, and the chapter ended with the Lightning Spear Supreme’s true body seeing Jiang Ziliu’s presence as the cause of a new fork in fate.

• The Lightning Spear Supreme’s projection questioned the Illusory Dream Colorful Butterfly, who claimed she had only wanted to help humans and offered to leave their territory.
• The Lightning Spear Supreme rejected her excuses and said she could not escape, while his true body watched from the starry sky.
• The Illusory Dream Colorful Butterfly blamed Jiang Ziliu for disrupting her plans, and Jiang Ziliu realized his arrival had saved the beast tamers.
• Jiang Ziliu and the Illusory Dream Colorful Butterfly both suspected he possessed a dangerous trump card, and she moved farther away from his projection.
• The Lightning Spear Supreme offered the Illusory Dream Colorful Butterfly a temporary contract to guard human territory for a hundred years, and she reluctantly accepted.
• The Lightning Spear Supreme’s true body saw a fork in the river of fate and recognized Jiang Ziliu’s presence as the reef that had caused it.

Jiang Ziliu secretly obtained a mysterious black crystal and learned from Ailande that it was an Evil God Soul Crystal. After storing it in the Dwarf King's Hammer, he prepared to lie low at the southern edge of Chang'an Base.

• Jiang Ziliu had A Kun steal the black crystal while Lightning Spear Supreme and the Illusory Dream Colorful Butterfly watched without intervening.
• Jiang Ziliu fled south to a cluster of bases and used Probability Judgment to confirm that no powerhouse was watching him or A Kun.
• A Kun returned a day later with the crystal, and Jiang Ziliu saw terrifying blood-red eyes when he touched it before retreating in alarm.
• Ailande identified the crystal as an Evil God Soul Crystal and explained that Forging Throne's power would protect Jiang Ziliu from its evil power.
• Jiang Ziliu stored the soul crystal in the Dwarf King's Hammer and prepared to live quietly in the area.

Jiang Ziliu settled in a dangerous region where the Undead Race brought adventurers seeking Soul Crystals, then began evolving his Beast-Taming Space. After a day of absorbing rare space, time, and life materials, the space expanded a thousandfold and gained land, but it would need time to stabilize before evolving again.

• Jiang Ziliu bought a courtyard in a low-level base, prepared ten safe houses, and sent Jiang Zikong a letter saying their parents were safe with him.
• Jiang Ziliu gathered pot heaven black abyss mud, an Elven Mother Tree root, and Dust of Time to evolve his Beast-Taming Space.
• Jiang Ziliu’s Contract Mark absorbed the three materials and began transforming the Beast-Taming Space.
• After nearly a day, Jiang Ziliu’s Beast-Taming Space expanded from one hundred to one hundred thousand cubic meters and formed a stretch of land.
• Jiang Ziliu’s Beast-Taming Space reached SSS-grade capacity for living beings and needed time to stabilize before its next evolution.

Jiang Ziliu restored his parents’ beasts, spent a year growing stronger in a hidden base, and reached gold rank at age twenty-five. Despite gaining extraordinary power and potential, he decided to keep his strength concealed and continue advancing cautiously.

• Jiang Ziliu expanded his Beast-Taming Space, settled his beasts into their own territories, and supplied resources to restore his parents’ injured beasts.
• Jiang Ziliu spent a year quietly cultivating in the base and opened all nine silver-rank Hidden Soul Stars, reaching the peak of silver rank.
• Jiang Ziliu broke through to gold rank at age twenty-five, gaining immense soul strength, powerful Dark Energy, and a lifespan exceeding a thousand years.
• Jiang Ziliu recognized that his gold rank and exceptional potential could attract protection from humanity and assassination attempts from hostile nonhuman forces.
• Jiang Ziliu chose to conceal his achievement and delayed evolving his silver-rank beasts until they reached the gold-rank threshold.

Jiang Ziliu trained with his three contracted beasts in an illusory battlefield created by the Forging Throne, where he had to survive the clash of two Diamond Rank beast tamers. After 137 attempts, he endured their entire three-day battle, and the Forging Throne prepared another illusion for him.

• The Forging Throne created an illusory battlefield inside the Dwarf King's Hammer to give Jiang Ziliu and his contracted beasts combat experience.
• Jiang Ziliu entered an illusion of a battle between a Flame Giant Race beast tamer and a Wind Spirit Race beast tamer, with survival as his mission.
• The Diamond Rank combatants' contracted beasts tore through the battlefield, forcing Jiang Ziliu and his three contracted beasts to evade deadly aftershocks and defend themselves.
• Jiang Ziliu repeatedly retried the illusion, increasing his survival time until he endured the full three-day battle after nearly 137 attempts.
• After Jiang Ziliu mastered the illusion, the Forging Throne ended it and prepared a new trial.

Jiang Ziliu endured repeated illusion trials that tested his survival and combat skills, from a beast calamity to a hunt by human beast tamers. After two years of training, all his contracted beasts reached Nine-Star Silver Rank and were ready to evolve and break through to Gold Rank.

• Jiang Ziliu entered a beast-calamity illusion ninety-seven times, eventually surviving nearly a year and killing thirteen Gold Rank beasts and 120 Silver Rank beasts before the Forging Throne ended the trial.
• Jiang Ziliu chose to raise the Azurite Rock Man's Earth Space Evasion to at least SSS Grade after powerful beasts repeatedly forced him from deep space.
• Jiang Ziliu faced an illusion in which ten Gold Rank and forty Silver Rank human beast tamers hunted him, and he succeeded in killing them after 152 trials.
• Jiang Ziliu continued through further illusions, including ocean survival, as the trials improved his combat and survival abilities.
• Two years later, all of Jiang Ziliu's contracted beasts reached Nine-Star Silver Rank and became ready to evolve and break through to Gold Rank.

Jiang Ziliu consulted Ailande and prepared a plan to evolve A Kun’s dwarf titan bloodline into an Earth Titan bloodline. After obtaining the required Beast Core and refining the plan to a 97.6% success probability, he began A Kun’s evolution.

• Jiang Ziliu asked Ailande how to overcome A Kun’s bloodline bottleneck, and she advised evolving its dwarf titan bloodline rather than merely increasing its concentration.
• Jiang Ziliu used Probability Judgment to locate an Earth Titan’s Beast Core 1,250 kilometers north and sent A Kun to retrieve it.
• A Kun returned a week later with an S Grade Beast Core from a juvenile Earth Titan.
• Jiang Ziliu studied titan bloodlines with Ailande and refined an evolution plan until its success probability reached 97.6%.
• Jiang Ziliu gathered the Beast Core and a heart of the mountains, then began A Kun’s bloodline evolution.

Jiang Ziliu evolved A Kun from a Silver Rank Azurite Rock Man into a Gold Rank Earth Titan in the wilderness, using a carefully prepared potion and the real universe’s power. After a golden celestial phenomenon revealed the breakthrough, Jiang Ziliu recalled A Kun and fled before nearby powerhouses could find them.

• Jiang Ziliu took A Kun into an underground cavern in the wilderness and prepared an S Grade potion from an Earth Titan Beast Core and other materials.
• A Kun drank the potion and began a painful bloodline transformation, while Jiang Ziliu used the Dwarf King’s Hammer to restrain him and guarded the cavern with White and Thousand Faces.
• Over nearly ten days, A Kun’s Dwarf Titan bloodline changed into an Earth Titan bloodline and his body took on the appearance of an infant Titan.
• A golden Titan silhouette appeared above the cavern, then merged into A Kun and raised him from Silver Rank to Gold Rank.
• Jiang Ziliu recalled A Kun, erased his traces, and fled to avoid the powerhouses drawn by the celestial phenomenon.
