Chapter Summaries

After A Kun’s ascension raised Jiang Ziliu to Eight-Star Diamond Rank, Jiang Ziliu considered how to help Lady White advance through the Dragon Gate. He left the chapter concealed and weighing the dangers of targeting the Dragon Race’s guarded ancestral site.

• After a Demigod Titan fought Human Race experts and left, Jiang Ziliu hid in an underground safe house and absorbed his tamed beasts’ life feedback.
• A Kun’s transformation raised him to One-Star Diamond Rank and Jiang Ziliu to Eight-Star Diamond Rank, granting Jiang Ziliu Demigod Rank concealment and earth-space evasion.
• Jiang Ziliu recognized that Lady White needed the Dragon Gate to improve her bloodline and advance to Diamond Rank.
• Jiang Ziliu considered the Dragon Race’s powerful abilities, guarded ancestral lands, and hostility toward high-bloodline dragons kept as tamed beasts.
• Jiang Ziliu worried that news of the Titan Nest incident would lead the Dragon Race to strengthen the Dragon Gate’s defenses on Blue Water Star.

Jiang Ziliu avoided the Dragon Race’s auction trap and found an obscure way to obtain a Dragon Gate through Drunken Dragon Grass. The experts behind the auction realized their scheme had failed because he was nowhere near Yunmeng Marsh.

• Jiang Ziliu stayed away from the Yunmeng Marsh auction and used Probability Judgment to find a promising trade Dungeon Space.
• Jiang Ziliu bought a fishman girl’s salvaged goods for twice her asking price, unaware that a dragon’s shadow watched over her.
• Jiang Ziliu deciphered an ancient copper plate and learned about Drunken Dragon Grass, which could help him obtain a Dragon Gate from the Dragon Race’s stronghold.
• The Dragon Race, the Cloud Dream Marsh Beast Taming Academy, the Titan Race, and the Elf Race watched the Dragon Gate go unsold after no one dared bid.
• The experts discovered Jiang Ziliu was outside the Cloud Dream Marsh Base, and their attempt to lure him into a trap failed.

Jiang Ziliu used a modified method to cultivate three exceptionally potent stalks of Drunken Dragon Grass from nearly ten million Wine-Brewing Flower seeds. He tested one on the Lightning Dragon Lady White and confirmed that the grass could safely strengthen dragon souls, leaving the project successful but costly and rare.

• Jiang Ziliu explained that Drunken Dragon Grass was a rare, sterile mutant of the Wine-Brewing Flower that could intoxicate life-forms with dragon bloodlines.
• Jiang Ziliu planted nearly ten million seeds in the Origin Divine Ship after soaking them in dragon blood and preparing the soil and ambient energy to guide their mutations.
• After nearly a year, Jiang Ziliu cultivated three stalks of Drunken Dragon Grass, each with ten times the dragon-intoxicating effect of grass grown by the normal method.
• Jiang Ziliu tested a stalk on the Lightning Dragon Lady White, whose soul detected its fragrance and caused her to fall asleep beside it.
• Jiang Ziliu concluded that Drunken Dragon Grass could strengthen dragon souls without side effects, though its high cost kept it from widespread use.

Jiang Ziliu used Drunken Dragon Grass strengthened with Soul Crystal powder to prepare for an attack on a remote Dragon Race dungeon. He infiltrated the stronghold and intoxicated its dragons and dragon-blooded vassals, beginning his attempt to seize the Dragon Gate.

• While the Lightning Dragon Lady White slept, Jiang Ziliu added Soul Crystal powder to the Drunken Dragon Grass, and she woke with greatly increased soul power and a stronger True Dragon Soul.
• Jiang Ziliu replenished the Origin Divine Ship and Divine Hammer, then traveled to a remote SS Grade Dragon Race Dungeon Space eight thousand li east of Yunmeng Marsh.

• Jiang Ziliu released two stalks of Drunken Dragon Grass, and the dragons and dragon-blooded vassals became intoxicated and gathered around it.

Jiang Ziliu used Drunken Dragon Grass to clear the way to the Dragon Gate, where Lady White the Lightning Dragon completed her transformation into a Demigod-level Lightning Dragon. He discovered and subdued a mysterious little black dragon, then left the Dragon Mountain with Lady White’s advancement complete before the dragons awoke.

• Jiang Ziliu sent A Kun and Thousand Faces to guard the unconscious dragons while he brought Lady White the Lightning Dragon to the Dragon Gate.
• A little black dragon sneaked up on Jiang Ziliu, but he noticed the intruder, bound him, and beat him until he revealed that his powerful soul made him immune to Drunken Dragon Grass.

• Lady White the Lightning Dragon finished her transformation in less than twenty hours, gaining a complete Lightning Dragon Bloodline and Demigod Rank skills.
• Lady White the Lightning Dragon reached One-Star Diamond Rank before the dragons woke, leaving Jiang Ziliu with all his contracted beasts at Diamond Rank or higher.

Jiang Ziliu spent nearly 150 years wandering Blue Water Star, growing his three tamed beasts and himself to supreme rank while exploring the transformed world. After returning to Cloud Dream Marsh Base at age 183, he sensed that the sleeping Forging Throne was beginning to awaken.

• Jiang Ziliu held back the mysterious girl's origin liquid and instead surrounded the sleeping Forging Throne with Elemental Crystals to aid its recovery.
• Jiang Ziliu traveled across Blue Water Star under shifting identities, explored its dangerous lands and oceans, and repaid attacks and recruitment attempts by robbing hostile great clans, earning the name Emptying Great Thief.

• Jiang Ziliu opened his diamond-rank Hidden Soul Star, advanced to supreme rank, and reached three-star supreme rank through life feedback from his tamed beasts.
• Jiang Ziliu returned to the vicinity of Cloud Dream Marsh Base at age 183 and sensed that the Forging Throne was showing signs of awakening.

Jiang Ziliu followed the Forging Throne into Blood Soul Land to find his fifth tamed beast, learning that Blue Water Star rested above a sealed primordial battlefield. Guided by the Ancient Tree of Wisdom’s bark and a mysterious metal disc, he ventured into the land’s outer reaches and discovered its deadly taboos and the beings trapped in its pillars.

• The Forging Throne awakened, explained that it had recovered by repairing itself with a fragment in the Origin Divine Ship, and offered to guide Jiang Ziliu to a powerful fifth tamed beast.
• Jiang Ziliu entered an underground whirlpool in Yunmeng Marsh and used the Ancient Tree of Wisdom’s bark and a leaf-shaped metal disc to reach Blood Soul Land.
• The Forging Throne revealed that Blue Water Star had been established above Blood Soul Land, a primordial divine-war battlefield containing sealed horrors.
• Jiang Ziliu crossed the bone-ash-covered landscape, following the guidance of the bark and disc while avoiding the sky’s eerie suns and blood-red moon and obeying the rule against summoning tamed beasts.
• At a clean stone pillar, Jiang Ziliu found a beast tamer and three tamed beasts embedded in a state between life and death, and determined that such beings contributed to Blood Soul Land’s power.
• Jiang Ziliu grew wary of the dangers but continued toward the destination indicated by the guidance.

Jiang Ziliu crossed the Blood Soul Land’s outskirts, resisting a mysterious song and passing through a fossilized Ba Snake skeleton that sheltered him from uncanny transparent snakes. He continued along the indicated route, newly aware that even the land’s outer edge held terrifying dangers.

• Jiang Ziliu heard an enchanting song and resisted its pull, noticing that the ashes were thicker in the direction of its source.
• From a high spot, Jiang Ziliu saw a thousand-meter rag doll pinned beneath the Blood Soul Land’s rocky tentacles and judged that it posed little future danger to him.

• Jiang Ziliu reached a hundred-li ridge made from the fossilized skeleton of a colossal Ba Snake and followed the route through its hollow bones.
• Jiang Ziliu spotted transparent snakes with presences above the Supreme level outside the skeleton and passed safely beyond their territory.

Jiang Ziliu saw through an ancient bronze tree’s illusion and met a stone turtle who shared his Dao of laying low. The turtle gave him a crystal to improve his concealment skill, then vanished, and Jiang Ziliu hurried on toward the Ancient Tree of Wisdom.

• Jiang Ziliu discovered that the ancient tower was an illusion created by a bronze demon tree hung with the shrunken skeletons of many beings.
• Jiang Ziliu followed the marked route to a stone turtle and thanked it for helping him see through the illusion.
• The turtle revealed that it had watched Jiang Ziliu’s past and recognized his cautious ways, but stopped probing when it sensed his fourth contracted beast was an Origin existence.
• The turtle gave Jiang Ziliu a crystal to improve his concealment skill, then vanished as the Blood Soul Land returned to normal.
• Jiang Ziliu bowed his thanks and hurried toward the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, wondering if it would become his fifth contracted beast.

Jiang Ziliu reached the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, restored it with the wisdom leaf, and gained its agreement to become his contracted beast. As night approached in the Blood Soul Land, the Ancient Tree guided him safely back to the underground river, while a stone turtle secretly appeared on his other shoulder.

• Jiang Ziliu reached the broken stump and discovered that it was the Ancient Tree of Wisdom.
• The Ancient Tree of Wisdom absorbed the leaf from Jiang Ziliu's metal disc, recovered slightly, and agreed to become his contracted beast.
• The Ancient Tree warned Jiang Ziliu that nightfall would make the Blood Soul Land more dangerous and directed him along a different route out.
• Jiang Ziliu used Probability Judgment to confirm that the Ancient Tree of Wisdom posed no harm, then followed its green path while evading the sealed evil gods.
• Jiang Ziliu escaped the Blood Soul Land through the cave and returned to the underground river, unaware that a stone turtle had appeared on his other shoulder.

Jiang Ziliu accepted the mysterious stone turtle and contracted it and the Ancient Tree of Wisdom as his fifth and sixth bonded beasts. The Ancient Tree of Wisdom then revealed the history and limitations of the Kings of Origin, leaving Jiang Ziliu aware that the old beings saw him as their hope of breaking their innate shackles.

• The mysterious old turtle asked Jiang Ziliu to make it his bonded beast, offering guidance but refusing to fight openly.
• The Ancient Tree of Wisdom urged Jiang Ziliu to accept the turtle and vouched for its trustworthiness.

• The Ancient Tree of Wisdom explained that Kings of Origin were primordial beings who had fallen in the first war against the Negative Universe but could not truly die.
• Jiang Ziliu learned that Kings of Origin could not surpass the strength they had at birth, and that the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, the Forging Throne, and the turtle hoped he could help them break that limit.

Jiang Ziliu learned that the Ancient Tree of Wisdom was an Emperor-Rank King of Origin who had fallen to a Chaos-wielding Evil God, while the mysterious old tortoise was the surviving Thearch-Rank Ancient Tortoise of Time. He realized his contracted beasts included beings of extraordinary rank and left the chapter exhilarated by the gains from entering the Blood Soul Land.

• Jiang Ziliu learned that the Ancient Tree of Wisdom represented Wisdom Authority and ranked as an Emperor-Rank King of Origin, above the Forging Throne's King Rank.
• The Ancient Tree of Wisdom had fallen to a special Evil God wielding Chaos Authority and now needed his former core fragments to recover.

• Jiang Ziliu sensed Jiang Zikong emerging from the land of opportunity and quickly traveled to reunite with him.
• Jiang Ziliu told Jiang Zikong that their parents were safe and the Jiang Lineage had been wiped out, then brought him to reunite with their family.
• Jiang Ziliu found a peaceful base for his family and decided to build an academy to keep them occupied and help talented commoners.
• With help from the Ancient Tortoise of Temporal Light, Jiang Ziliu forged a Demigod Artifact containing a mobile academy that sought out promising commoner children.
• Jiang Zikong became headmaster, their parents became teachers, and the Void Commoner Academy began training small groups of students while Jiang Ziliu resumed cultivating in seclusion.

Jiang Zikong brought the starving orphan Lü Xiaoli to the Void Commoner Beast Taming Academy, where Jiang Ziliu discovered her Demigod Rank talent and took her as his direct disciple. After a year of searching, the academy enrolled thirteen other commoner children and officially opened.

• Jiang Zikong brought Lü Xiaoli to the academy, where Father Jiang and Mother Jiang fed her, cared for her, and delayed awakening her Contract Mark until she had recovered and learned basic subjects.
• Lü Xiaoli studied for half a year and strengthened her soul for a year before awakening her Contract Mark and revealing talent above SSS+ and at least Demigod Rank.
• Jiang Ziliu consulted the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, learned Lü Xiaoli could potentially reach King of Origin level, and decided to adopt her into the family and train her as his direct disciple.
• The Ancient Tree of Wisdom, the Ancient Tortoise of Temporal Light, and the Forging Throne offered Lü Xiaoli guidance, while Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Jiang Zikong searched for more students.
• Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Jiang Zikong found thirty-seven commoner children, thirteen of whom agreed to attend, and the Void Commoner Beast Taming Academy officially opened.

Jiang Ziliu took Lü Xiaoli on a long journey to expose her to different kinds of lives and prepare her for the world. After 125 years of travel, he discovered that his ability to open nine Hidden Soul Stars at every stage came from Probability Judgment.

• Jiang Ziliu nurtured Lü Xiaoli and took her to observe a Silver Rank adventuring party, a poor household, an aristocratic lineage, and the lives of ordinary beast tamers.
• Jiang Ziliu showed Lü Xiaoli the sealed Evil God beneath Scallion Ridge and the ruined Jiang Family ancestral grounds, teaching her about hidden dangers and the fall of powerful factions.
• Jiang Ziliu held back Lü Xiaoli's advancement so she could open as many Hidden Soul Stars as possible, but she could open nine only at the Gray Rock and Black Iron stages.
• Jiang Ziliu realized that Probability Judgment let him reach the ultimate limit of nine Hidden Soul Stars at every life stage.

Over the centuries, Jiang Ziliu’s Void Commoner Academy became a stable, respected institution, and Lü Xiaoli became its vice principal. After reaching Nine-Star Supreme Rank, Jiang Ziliu unlocked all nine Hidden Soul Stars and prepared to attempt the perilous breakthrough to Demigod Rank.

• Jiang Ziliu and Lü Xiaoli returned to the Void Commoner Academy, which had grown into a stable school producing powerful graduates and welcoming talented commoners.

• Jiang Ziliu reached a life-level bottleneck and began preparing to overcome the dangerous trial of advancing to Demigod Rank.

Jiang Ziliu began his Demigod breakthrough in the starry sky, moving his Contract Mark into his Beast-Taming Space and forming a vast Divine Kingdom with five heavenly pillars. His Divine Kingdom took shape with exceptional size and rules, leaving him to face the Divine Tribulation.

• Jiang Ziliu prepared to form his Divine Kingdom on a lifeless planet near the sun, where he successfully moved his Contract Mark into his Beast-Taming Space.

• Jiang Ziliu learned that demigods advanced by comprehending rules and could use demigod-rank tamed beasts to help them do so.

After becoming a Demigod, Jiang Ziliu left Blue Water Star aboard the Divine Hammer to seek the missing fragments of the Forging Throne and restore the Ancient Tree of Wisdom and his other companions. After learning how the Milky Way’s powers and territories were organized, he set course for the free-trade world Terra Star.
