Chapter Summaries

Yi Xuan’s final weapon, Unit-01, appeared after Zhuo Yongnian’s attack destroyed the Godzillas and overwhelmed the city with a grating sound. The chapter explained how Yi Xuan built Unit-01 to use Dark Matter and Immortal Qi, leaving it standing as his new ultimate weapon.

• Yi Xuan had developed Unit-01 from scratch after mass-produced Godzillas and Boss Godzilla proved unable to meet his requirements for Dark Matter.
• Yi Xuan designed Unit-01 with Arc Reactors and the ability to cultivate, while its shoulder guards absorbed Immortal Qi and balanced it with Spiritual Qi.

Unit-01 battled Zhuo Yongnian, breaking through his defenses and forcing him back before the two giants fought across the sky. Their clash devastated the area around the Immortal Dynasty, leaving its people fearing the destruction more than the succession struggle.

• The battle continued above the city as its people, including the twenty-seventh prince, feared when the two giants would stop.

Yi Xuan’s Unit-01 fought Zhuo Yongnian in its first real battle, and their attacks collided with enough force to fracture space. As the two prepared to continue, Yi Xuan worried that Unit-01’s exertion might trigger its berserk state.

• Yi Xuan’s control over Unit-01 depended on entering it and using his Divine Sense to suppress its berserk state, which he believed was possible because it had been made with his genes.

• Unit-01 changed its sniper rifle back into a short blade and panted from the strain, while Yi Xuan summoned a Power Amplifier Tower and worried it might go berserk.

Unit-01 fought Zhuo Yongnian in close combat to buy Yi Xuan time, but Zhuo Yongnian pierced its chest with a concealed stream of Sword Qi. Unit-01 entered berserk mode, leaving Yi Xuan facing the danger he had hoped to avoid.

• Unit-01 repeatedly attacked Zhuo Yongnian at close range, preventing him from using his secret techniques while Yi Xuan watched its performance.
• Zhuo Yongnian knocked Unit-01 back and unleashed streams of Sword Qi, then surrounded it with a powerful barrage.
• Zhuo Yongnian concealed a dim stream of Sword Qi among his attacks and used it to cut through Unit-01's blade and pierce its chest.
• Wounded Unit-01 howled as No. 01 warned that it had entered berserk mode, and Yi Xuan realized it had lost control.

Unit-01 went berserk and brutally overpowered Zhuo Yongnian, a Seven-Tribulation Loose Immortal, tearing out his spine before killing him. It then turned toward the Immortal Dynasty, whose experts panicked and fled.

• Unit-01 seized Zhuo Yongnian and bit a chunk from his shoulder, ignoring the damage he inflicted on its hands.

• Unit-01 turned toward the Immortal Dynasty, and its experts broke into chaos and ran.

Yi Xuan stopped Unit-01 just before it could crush the Immortal Dynasty, but struggled to control its violent rampage. Venerable Yuan arrived and trapped Unit-01, leaving Yi Xuan wondering at his strength.

• Yi Xuan used his Divine Sense and the Power Amplifier Tower to search for Unit-01's natural frequency while it raced toward the Immortal Dynasty.
• Yi Xuan established a connection with Unit-01 and ordered it to stop before it reached the city gate.
• Unit-01's violent emotions and the strain of controlling it rapidly drained Yi Xuan's Divine Sense.
• Venerable Yuan appeared beside Yi Xuan and dealt with Unit-01 in an instant.
• Venerable Yuan revealed that Unit-01 was trapped rather than destroyed, and Yi Xuan recognized the method as similar to Emperor Qing's.

Zhuo Ning became the new Immortal Emperor of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom, and Venerable Yuan asked Yi Xuan to take him to see the Light-Speed Engine. On their way to the space center, Venerable Yuan revealed he had never believed Yi Xuan was a successor of the High Antiquity Artifact Sect.

• Venerable Yuan recognized Zhuo Ning’s awakening as the birth of a new Immortal Emperor, while Zhuo Lie’s forces rallied and the Barbarian Clan commander ordered a retreat.
• Zhuo Ning knelt before Venerable Yuan and identified himself as the one hundred and fifty-fifth generation Immortal Emperor of the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
• Venerable Yuan asked Yi Xuan to show him the Light-Speed Engine, and Zhuo Ning urged Yi Xuan to go while he handled the invasion.
• Yi Xuan sent Liang Shi to support Zhuo Ning, then took Venerable Yuan aboard the Firmament and headed for the space center.
• Yi Xuan explained that most of his technology had not come from the High Antiquity Artifact Sect, and Venerable Yuan admitted he had called Yi Xuan its successor only to fool Emperor Qing.

Venerable Yuan rushed Yi Xuan to the space center to see the light-speed engine, but could not understand Yi Xuan’s explanation of its technology. He revealed that his earlier promise had been a test and began telling Yi Xuan a story from ten million years ago.

• Venerable Yuan explained that the High Antiquity Artifact Sect’s methods ultimately relied on cultivation, unlike Yi Xuan’s technology.
• Impatient with the Firmament’s five-to-six-day journey, Venerable Yuan destroyed it and carried Yi Xuan to the space center in less than a second.
• Yi Xuan showed Venerable Yuan the light-speed engine and explained its techniques, but Venerable Yuan admitted he had understood nothing.
• Venerable Yuan said his promise to explain everything had been a test, then offered to tell Yi Xuan the story behind it.

Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that the Cultivation Realm had once thrived across its entire star system, until powerful enemies invaded and wiped out its immortals. He showed Yi Xuan an ancient star map with nine additional planets, but No. 01 insisted the map was fake.

• Venerable Yuan described the ancient Cultivation Realm, where immortals remained in their star systems and Guiding Golden Immortals protected them.
• Yi Xuan asked what had happened to the old Cultivation Realm, and Venerable Yuan confirmed that a hostile force had invaded and defeated its immortals.
• Venerable Yuan explained that even Golden Immortals were insignificant to powerful forces in the universe.
• Venerable Yuan showed Yi Xuan a star map of their system with nine large planets that Yi Xuan had never observed.
• Yi Xuan sent the map to No. 01, which declared it fake based on its Starlink observations.

Venerable Yuan revealed to Yi Xuan that a single Heavenly Dog had devoured the Cultivation Realm’s nine other planets and was destroying every immortal who ascended. Yi Xuan realized the Cultivation Realm was inside the Heavenly Dog’s stomach and that the creature’s true target might be the sun.

• Yi Xuan learned that the Cultivation Realm once had nine other planets, which had all disappeared tens of millions of years earlier.
• Venerable Yuan explained that demons could absorb the sun and moon’s essence, then showed Yi Xuan images of 1,257 ascended immortals vanishing against an invisible barrier.
• Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that one demon had devoured the nine planets and that the remaining Cultivation Realm was inside its stomach.
• Venerable Yuan identified the demon as a Heavenly Dog, and Yi Xuan connected it to the legend of the Heavenly Dog devouring the sun.
• Yi Xuan realized the Heavenly Dog might be targeting the sun, with the Cultivation Realm’s destruction merely incidental.

Yi Xuan learned from Venerable Yuan that the Heavenly Dog had been devouring the Cultivation Realm while feeding on the sun, and that its concealment made escape or contact with the Immortal Realm impossible. After eight failed escape attempts, Yi Xuan realized the planet beneath him was the Cultivation Realm’s final chance—and his own.

• Yi Xuan composed himself and sought out Venerable Yuan to ask about the Heavenly Dog.
• Venerable Yuan confirmed that the Heavenly Dog’s true target was the sun and explained that the juvenile creature had been consuming the Cultivation Realm for ten million years.
• Venerable Yuan said the surviving immortals had discovered the Heavenly Dog only after it began dissolving the outermost planet, and they had been unable to contact the Immortal Realm.
• Venerable Yuan explained that Heavenly Dogs fed on many kinds of energy and became concealed and untouchable while devouring.
• Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that the Cultivation Realm had made eight failed escape attempts, corresponding to the eight planets lost after the first.
• Yi Xuan realized that the planet beneath him was the Cultivation Realm’s last chance, and his own.

Yi Xuan learned that the Cultivation Realm had failed in seven attempts to escape the Heavenly Dog, each leaving behind a changed people or a vanished sect. Venerable Yuan said the Cultivation Realm would accept Yi Xuan’s advice, while revealing that the High Antiquity Artifact Sect had been destroyed after proposing a final escape plan.

• Yi Xuan doubted that Venerable Yuan would accept advice from someone as inexperienced as him, but Venerable Yuan insisted that they would.
• Venerable Yuan explained that the Cultivation Realm’s first assault on the Heavenly Dog failed, and nearly all the gathered immortals were digested.
• The Guiding Golden Immortal sacrificed a main planet’s Spiritual Qi to divine a way out, and the result called for a path beyond immortal cultivation.
• The Cultivation Realm’s later efforts failed, leaving behind the Barbarian Clan, Sea Clan, Loose Immortals, Eternal Sea, and the vanished High Antiquity Artifact Sect.
• The High Antiquity Artifact Sect proposed drawing Immortal Qi into the Cultivation Realm so the Heavenly Dog would expel it as a dead planet, but the other leaders attacked and destroyed the sect.

Yi Xuan learned that the Mystic Gate planned to use the five great Immortal Kingdoms’ National Fortune to fight the Heavenly Dog, while treating his technology as a backup possibility. He secured the entire Southern Frontier, and more than a hundred Loose Immortals arrived to place it under his authority.

• Venerable Yuan explained that cultivators had rejected the High Antiquity Artifact Sect’s proposal because they would not give up their status, and revealed the Immortal Kingdoms’ National Fortune plan to fight the Heavenly Dog.
• Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that the Mystic Gate would support him within its limits, and Yi Xuan demanded the entire Southern Frontier.
• Venerable Yuan granted Yi Xuan control of the Southern Frontier.
• Two days later, more than a hundred Loose Immortals subdued the region’s sects and declared that Yi Xuan’s orders carried the Mystic Gate’s authority.
• Cui Yan sent disciples to gather information, but Southern Frontier factions arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect before they could leave.

• Cui Yan learned that major sects across the Southern Frontier were heading to the Azure Cloud Sect, and he and the three supreme elders prepared for the worst.
• Cui Yan ordered the outer disciples to welcome the visitors and arrange their lodging, while he asked the old supreme elder to activate the puppet army.

• Cui Yan invited the visitors to ascend the mountain the next morning, and the top-tier forces arrived first.
• The representatives of the top-tier forces fell to their knees as soon as they saw Cui Yan.

Yi Xuan arrived at the Azure Cloud Sect with a man dressed like the Loose Immortals who had intimidated the Southern Frontier’s sects, and the sect leaders submitted to his authority. He announced plans to spread Xia Kingdom technology and establish schools, reassuring the sect leaders that he would select students for their cleverness rather than their Spirit Roots.

• Yun Fan and other Southern Frontier sect leaders asked Cui Yan to put in a good word for them with Yi Xuan and pledged to follow the Azure Cloud Sect’s lead.
• Yi Xuan arrived aboard the Firmament with a strangely dressed man, whose appearance frightened the sect leaders because it matched that of their attackers.
• Cui Yan arranged for the sect leaders to gather in the Azure Cloud Sect’s main hall, where Yi Xuan declared that he would have the final say in the Southern Frontier.
• Yi Xuan announced that he would promote Xia Kingdom products and establish schools throughout the Southern Frontier.
• When a sect leader asked what students the schools would recruit, Yi Xuan said he wanted clever people and would not use Spirit Roots as his standard.

Yi Xuan established universities across the Southern Frontier to cultivate talent gradually, while the war between the five immortal kingdoms and the Barbarian Clan remained deadlocked. In the far north, Venerable Yuan learned that Man Da and the other barbarian leaders had decided to abandon their agreement and pursue their own way to escape the Heavenly Dog’s restraints.

• Yi Xuan asked the Southern Frontier sects to leave his development plans alone, and universities began recruiting students across the region.
• Yi Xuan chose to build technological foundations through education rather than rush modernization.
• Fifty years later, Venerable Yuan found Man Da and four other barbarian leaders in the far north and challenged them over the stalled development of the immortal kingdoms.
• The barbarians rejected Venerable Yuan’s plan, declaring that they believed the power of the flesh could free them from the Heavenly Dog’s restraints.
• Man Da struck down a brother who insulted Venerable Yuan, then said the Barbarian Clan would no longer entrust its fate to divination.
• Venerable Yuan accepted that they would each rely on their own abilities and left, hiding his desolation.

After the Barbarian Clan and Sea Clan abandoned their agreements, Venerable Yuan lost faith in his plan to unite the Cultivation Realm and left to enjoy his remaining time. He wandered into the developed Southern Frontier, where a shifty-looking man offered to show him a good time.

• Venerable Yuan visited Sea Emperor City and learned from Hai Qingshi that the seven Sea Emperors were gone and Hai Qingshi had become the Sea God.
• Hai Qingshi told Venerable Yuan that the Sea Clan would try its own method rather than honor the old plan.
• Venerable Yuan left the Eternal Sea and gave up on his efforts after the Barbarian Clan and Sea Clan rejected his plans.
• Venerable Yuan entered the Southern Frontier and was amazed by its modern buildings and unfamiliar sights.
• A shifty-looking man recognized Venerable Yuan as a visitor from the Central Continent and led him away, promising to show him a good time.

Yi Xuan found Venerable Yuan living extravagantly at a club after a scammer brought him there, and learned that the police had become trapped in an array after trying to take him in. The police chief and club owner sought Yi Xuan’s help as the city remained in turmoil.

• Yi Xuan arrived at the club and recognized Venerable Yuan dancing in modern clothes with a smart wristband.
• The police chief explained that a local scammer had taken Venerable Yuan to the club after seeing him pay with a Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone.
• Venerable Yuan stayed at the club for a month and rewarded the scammer with more than a hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.
• The police arrested the scammer when he tried to deposit the Spirit Stones, then brought them to Venerable Yuan and asked him to make a statement.
• Venerable Yuan refused to go to the police station and slapped the officers, sending them back there unharmed.
• An array trapped the police station, and the police chief reported the crisis to his superiors.

Yi Xuan found Venerable Yuan drunk and abandoning his efforts to save the world, then learned that the Sea Clan and Barbarian Clan had broken their agreement and left Venerable Yuan's plan in ruins. On hearing that Hai Qingshi led the Sea Clan and knew a Spirit Root-seizing technique, Yi Xuan decided to seek him out and was prepared to use force.

• Yi Xuan found Venerable Yuan dancing and drinking in a nightclub, where Venerable Yuan dismissed the Heavenly Dog crisis and paid for everyone's tab.
• Yi Xuan cleared the dance floor and asked Venerable Yuan what had happened to him.
• Venerable Yuan said he had spent more than ten million years serving the Cultivation Realm and had decided it was time to rest.
• Venerable Yuan explained that the Sea Clan and Barbarian Clan had reneged on their agreement, destroying his trust in the plan and leaving him unwilling to force their cooperation.
• Yi Xuan remembered that Hai Qingshi, now the Sea Clan's leader, knew a secret technique for seizing Spirit Roots, and resolved to demand it from him, even by force.

Yi Xuan told Venerable Yuan that the National Fortune Plan had seemed hopeless, but revealed another possible way to confront the Heavenly Dog. He took Venerable Yuan to the Eternal Sea to confirm details with Hai Qingshi, then claimed the Sea Clan’s Power of the Stars could not destroy the Heavenly Dog.

• Yi Xuan explained that he had long doubted Venerable Yuan’s National Fortune Plan and considered the Sea Clan’s Star Invocation Plan the most promising of the earlier attempts.
• Venerable Yuan seized Yi Xuan in excitement, breaking the arms of his biochemical stand-in, and Yi Xuan replaced it with an identical avatar.
• Yi Xuan said there was another way but that he needed to confirm a few things with Hai Qingshi, so he and Venerable Yuan headed to the Eternal Sea.
• Venerable Yuan released the police officers trapped in the police station before taking Yi Xuan to Sea Emperor City.
• Hai Qingshi confronted Yi Xuan over their past, and Yi Xuan asserted that Hai Qingshi’s Power of the Stars was not enough to destroy the Heavenly Dog.
