Chapter Summaries

Taotie devoured cities while Yi Xuan’s Evil Corpse, trapped inside him, waited for his original self to authorize a dangerous unfinished move. After witnessing the deaths mount, the Evil Corpse chose to activate it, and a gigantic arm burst from Taotie’s mouth.

• Taotie realized Yi Xuan had Human Clan blood, swallowed him, then resumed devouring cities.
• Inside Taotie, the Evil Corpse contacted Yi Xuan’s original self and learned he had been reduced to the black bead vessel.
• The Evil Corpse counted the cities Taotie consumed and pleaded with his original self as the Human Clan deaths mounted.
• Yi Xuan’s original self granted the Evil Corpse full access to the unfinished move and left the choice to him.
• The Evil Corpse decided to activate the move, causing Taotie to freeze before a human arm more than a thousand meters long emerged from his mouth.

A headless giant emerged from Taotie's body, killed him, and ate his flesh before revealing that he was human. When a city elder asked his name, the giant identified himself as Xingtian.

• Taotie tried to bite the enormous arm in his mouth, but it remained unharmed.
• Two giant hands forced Taotie's jaws apart, and his thrashing devastated much of the city.
• The headless giant emerged from Taotie's body, split him in half, and sat outside the city to eat his flesh.
• A white-haired elder thanked the giant for saving the city, and he said it was his duty as a human.
• The elder asked the giant's name, and he answered, "I am... Xingtian!"

The Evil Corpse learned how Xingtian was created from the Heavenly Dog’s genes and fused with the black bead. When Taotie’s flesh and blood began corrupting Xingtian, Yi Xuan took control, flew away, and left the Human Clan with a palace and instructions to follow the Divine Hall’s arrangements.

• The Evil Corpse learned that Yi Xuan had secretly created Xingtian by combining Heavenly Dog genes with Unit-01 using low-grade Demon Race genes as a catalyst.
• The Human Clan hailed Xingtian as a great god, while the Evil Corpse discovered that the black bead had fused with him.
• Taotie’s flesh and blood corrupted nearly half of Xingtian’s Dantian, and the Evil Corpse struggled to stop it.
• Yi Xuan took control of Xingtian and flew into the sky as the Human Clan cried out in dismay.
• Xingtian dropped an enormous palace before the Human Clan, and Yi Xuan told them to follow the Divine Hall’s arrangements.

The true self drove Xingtian into the sun and absorbed solar energy to help his Demon Power overpower Taotie's. After weakening Taotie's Demon Power, he activated the Gene Furnace to refine the remaining rotten flesh.

• The true self controlled Xingtian as he plunged through the sun's atmosphere and endured its heat, gravity, and radiation.
• Xingtian advanced through the convection zone and stopped at the boundary of the radiation zone, where the true self made him sit and absorb solar energy.
• Solar energy poured into Xingtian through the mouth on his abdomen, strengthening his Demon Power as it fought Taotie's Demon Power inside his Dantian.
• Xingtian's Demon Power drove Taotie's Demon Power back into its flesh, leaving a weakened puddle of rotten flesh.
• The true self accumulated energy in Xingtian's body and activated the Gene Furnace, causing the rotten flesh to disappear.

Yi Xuan left Xingtian on the sun to absorb energy while the Gene Furnace fused Taotie's genes into him. A hundred years later, the fusion neared completion, and the Evil Corpse took control of a much larger, stronger Xingtian and headed into space.

• Yi Xuan explained that Xingtian's Gene Furnace extracted and recombined useful genes from devoured creatures, and that it needed vast solar energy to fuse Taotie's genes.
• After confirming Xingtian was safe, Yi Xuan returned to the Mother Planet to consider what to do about the Demon Race gathering at the True Yang Nirvana Grand Array within a thousand years.
• The Evil Corpse stayed with Xingtian on the sun, grew bored because he could neither cultivate nor leave, and fell asleep.
• A hundred years later, the Evil Corpse woke as the Gene Furnace stopped and Xingtian's Taotie gene fusion neared completion.
• Xingtian's solar-energy absorption had increased more than tenfold, and the Evil Corpse found that his body had grown from five thousand to eight thousand meters tall.
• The Evil Corpse took control of Xingtian, boasted that the Demon Race had waited long enough, and flew into space.

Cage Planet No. 55 had endured eight million years as a Demon Race snack farm, and its cultivators’ illusion formation failed against an Earth Immortal demon. Just as the surviving humans awaited another slaughter, a headless giant appeared and crushed the demon.

• The Demon Race had turned Cage Planet No. 55 and 114 other cultivation planets into snack farms, preventing their inhabitants from ascending and harvesting them at intervals.
• After a previous illusion formation failed against a True Immortal demon, Cage Planet No. 55’s cultivators built another and waited a century to confirm their next visitor was an Earth Immortal.
• The cultivators activated their illusion formation, and the demon believed for thirty years that he had devoured all but a tenth of the population.
• The illusion flickered, the demon detected the deception, and he smashed the formation as the remaining humans braced for slaughter.
• A mountainlike giant appeared, trampled the demon into a patty of flesh, and stood before the humans with empty space above its shoulders.

After Xingtian saved the humans on Cage Planet No. 55, Yi Xuan hunted down demons across more than a hundred planets, killing over five hundred in ten years. With the galaxy cleared, he returned to the planet where he first killed Taotie to see what had become of it under the High Antiquity Artifact Sect Great Hall’s guidance.

• The humans on Cage Planet No. 55 celebrated their survival, then resumed studying the illusion formation to prepare for another Demon Race attack.
• Yi Xuan used Xingtian to slaughter demons across more than a hundred planets, but gained only three useful gene sets from over five hundred kills.
• Yi Xuan learned that demons’ species and bloodline determined their potential, and focused on clearing the galaxy rather than obtaining more genes.
• Yi Xuan worried about the powerful demons gathering near the Mother Planet and hoped his true self would arrange for it to leave soon.
• After ten years, Yi Xuan finished killing the demons and returned to the planet where he had first killed Taotie to inspect the High Antiquity Artifact Sect Great Hall’s work.

After a century away, Yi Xuan surveyed the planet and found that its technology had flourished but stalled because its people feared exploring space against Xingtian’s orders. As scientists again debated space exploration, Origin No. 06 unexpectedly declared it would support them.

• Yi Xuan returned to the planet but stayed in space because Xingtian had grown too large to reveal without causing a panic.
• Yi Xuan used his Divine Sense to inspect the transformed planet, where a vast city had grown around the unchanged Artifact Sect Great Hall and a giant statue of Xingtian.
• Yi Xuan discovered that the planet’s technological progress had reached an energy bottleneck, while proposals to explore space were repeatedly rejected out of reverence for Xingtian.
• A lead scientist asked Origin No. 06 whether it would stop the people from exploring space, and Origin No. 06 began to say that it would.
• Origin No. 06 paused, then announced that it would unconditionally support their exploration of space, shocking everyone in the great hall.

After Xingtian appeared above the planet, he announced that the Demon Race in the Cage Galaxy had been exterminated and ordered humanity to begin exploring space. Fifty years later, Yi Xuan’s evil corpse returned to the Mother Planet’s former location and was told to enter a supermassive star to help Xingtian grow.

• Origin No. 06 declared that allowing space exploration was the Great God Xingtian’s will, then told the leaders to go outside.
• The people saw Xingtian blocking the sun and fell silent when he spoke.
• Xingtian announced that he had exterminated the Demon Race in the Cage Galaxy and ordered humanity to explore space and spread technology.
• Yi Xuan gathered the Artifact Sect Great Hall and its contents, then left the planet for the Mother Planet.
• Fifty years later, Yi Xuan’s original self ordered the evil corpse to enter a supermassive star, explaining that Xingtian had his sights set on the Three-Legged Golden Crow.
• The evil corpse questioned the good corpse’s spaceship carrier, and the good corpse vanished before the two could continue.

The Evil Corpse learned that Yi Xuan’s new cultivation spaceship had reached Golden Immortal strength and that the original self wanted him to gather Three-Legged Golden Crow genes to strengthen Xingtian. Despite fearing the danger, the Evil Corpse entered the supergiant star and plunged into its radiation zone.

• The Evil Corpse learned that the Good Corpse was controlling Yi Xuan’s prototype cultivation spaceship, which could grow stronger and had already reached Golden Immortal strength.
• Yi Xuan explained that he wanted the Evil Corpse to obtain genes from the Three-Legged Golden Crow and use them to strengthen Xingtian.
• The Evil Corpse questioned the risk, but the original self remained resolute, and the Evil Corpse accepted the task.
• The Evil Corpse passed through the completed Dyson Swarm and the supergiant star’s corona, where Xingtian’s body charred before shedding its blackened scab.
• The Evil Corpse traveled through the star’s outer layers and entered the radiation zone, where surrounding nuclear fusion eruptions trapped him in danger.

The Evil Corpse cultivated Xingtian in the sun’s radiation zone for centuries, healing and strengthening him until he surpassed a critical height and underwent a massive transformation. After Xingtian grew to 99,000 meters and the Evil Corpse regained control, he set off to confront the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

• The Evil Corpse stopped Xingtian in the radiation zone when the explosions threatened to leave him too damaged to continue, and began cultivating there.
• Xingtian absorbed solar energy as the Gene Furnace repaired injuries from nearby explosions, gradually increasing his strength.
• After a hundred years, Xingtian became immune to the radiation zone’s explosions, and the Evil Corpse continued cultivating him toward the 20,000-meter threshold.
• When Xingtian reached 20,000 meters, he grew uncontrollably to 99,000 meters, absorbing vast amounts of solar energy before the Evil Corpse regained control.
• The Evil Corpse sensed the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s location and sent Xingtian rushing toward it.

The Evil Corpse reached the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s egg inside the supergiant star and spent five hundred years dissolving the Demon Power that protected it. After Xingtian grew stronger through the ordeal, the Evil Corpse struck the egg, leaving its fate uncertain.

• The Evil Corpse entered the star’s core, found the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s egg, and discovered that its Demon Power was vastly stronger than Xingtian’s.
• The Evil Corpse began dissolving the Demon Power surrounding the egg while Xingtian absorbed solar energy and endured the process for five hundred years.
• The Evil Corpse finished removing the egg’s protective Demon Power and saw that Xingtian had grown to nearly three hundred thousand meters tall.
• The Evil Corpse punched the giant egg, which cracked and answered with a mournful screech.

The Evil Corpse entered the shattered egg and found Xingtian trapped in a strange golden liquid, with no sign of the Three-Legged Golden Crow. He discovered that the liquid resisted movement according to speed and began inching forward, leaving his search likely to take an extraordinarily long time.

• The Three-Legged Golden Crow cried out in distress, alarming the ordinary demons gathered outside the True Yang Nirvana Grand Array.
• The Evil Corpse controlled Xingtian through the broken eggshell and found him submerged in an unknown golden liquid instead of finding the Golden Crow.
• The Evil Corpse observed that the liquid grew more resistant as Xingtian moved faster and concluded it was a defense against intruders.
• The Evil Corpse determined that Xingtian could move through the liquid at only about one meter per hour and asked the original for another way forward.
• The original offered no solution, so the Evil Corpse began moving ahead at the liquid's slow pace.

The Evil Corpse discovered that the Gene Furnace could dissolve the unknown liquid trapping Xingtian. After repeatedly absorbing and processing it, he expelled a distinct substance that coated Xingtian, removing the liquid’s resistance and letting him move freely.

• The Evil Corpse struggled to move Xingtian through the unknown liquid while Yi Xuan and the Evil Corpse tried and failed to analyze it.
• The Evil Corpse accidentally swallowed the liquid when he roared, and the Good Corpse mocked him before Yi Xuan told him to listen to the Good Corpse.
• The Evil Corpse realized the Good Corpse’s suggestion was to drink the liquid, so he filled Xingtian’s belly and activated the Gene Furnace to dissolve it.
• The Evil Corpse repeated the process, then expelled a separate substance that spread over Xingtian and formed a layer between him and the unknown liquid.
• Xingtian moved smoothly again as the liquid’s resistance vanished.

The Evil Corpse discovered that the giant egg’s white was a living organism and used its properties to free Xingtian before advancing toward the center. He reached the Golden Crow’s yolk, found it was scorching liquid, and grabbed some of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, leaving part of its body missing.

• The Evil Corpse learned that the egg white was living tissue, absorbed its life energy through the Gene Furnace, and gained a gene that let Xingtian produce a similar protective liquid.
• Xingtian enveloped himself in the liquid he produced, allowing the Evil Corpse to escape the egg white and head deeper into the giant egg.
• The Evil Corpse reached a vacuum layer and saw the sleeping Three-Legged Golden Crow surrounded by flames, but Yi Xuan’s voice broke him free of its overwhelming presence.
• The Evil Corpse entered the yolk and discovered it was magma-like liquid that charred Xingtian’s skin.
• The Evil Corpse rushed toward the Three-Legged Golden Crow and grabbed a mass of fiery-red liquid, visibly removing part of its body.

The Evil Corpse used Xingtian’s Gene Furnace to extract the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s genes, but an unfamiliar voice severed his connection to Yi Xuan and the Good Corpse. In his Sea of Consciousness, Yi Xuan faced the Golden Crow as it attacked with a great sun and fiery lotuses.

• The Three-Legged Golden Crow trapped Xingtian in viscous, heating liquid, leaving him unable to move.
• The Evil Corpse opened Xingtian’s abdominal mouth and activated the Gene Furnace, shrinking Xingtian as it extracted the Golden Crow’s genes.
• As the extraction succeeded and the liquid loosened, an unfamiliar voice spoke to the Evil Corpse, and his connection to Yi Xuan broke.
• The Good Corpse also lost contact with Yi Xuan and the Evil Corpse while Yi Xuan confronted the Three-Legged Golden Crow in his Sea of Consciousness.
• The Three-Legged Golden Crow expanded its great sun and sent flaming lotuses raining across the Sea of Consciousness, making Yi Xuan lose control of the places they touched.

Yi Xuan used the Book of Technology to halt the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s advance through his Sea of Consciousness and attacked him with its knowledge. The Three-Legged Golden Crow unleashed overwhelming soul power, drove Yi Xuan’s soul from his body, and took control of it.

• The Three-Legged Golden Crow read Yi Xuan’s memories and learned that Yi Xuan had sabotaged the Soul Refining Array to seize his body.
• Yi Xuan contacted the Book of Technology, whose light halted the Three-Legged Golden Crow and helped Yi Xuan reclaim part of his Sea of Consciousness.
• Yi Xuan sent the Book of Technology’s knowledge toward the Three-Legged Golden Crow, who retreated under its pressure before deciding to fight back.
• The Three-Legged Golden Crow unleashed a surge of soul power that knocked Yi Xuan’s vision black and expelled his soul from his Sea of Consciousness.
• Yi Xuan saw the Three-Legged Golden Crow controlling his body, its eyes burning with flames.

The Three-Legged Golden Crow tried to destroy Yi Xuan's soul, but his power triggered a mysterious backup plan that drove him from Yi Xuan's body. Back in his Sea of Consciousness, Yi Xuan discovered a black hole in his Dantian pouring out dangerous power, which the Book of Technology began absorbing.

• The Three-Legged Golden Crow seized Yi Xuan's soul and resolved to destroy both his body and soul despite Yi Xuan's composure.
• The Three-Legged Golden Crow sent his soul power into Yi Xuan's body, triggering Yi Xuan's uncontrolled backup plan and forcing him to release Yi Xuan.
• The Three-Legged Golden Crow screamed and then vanished as Yi Xuan lost control and returned to his Sea of Consciousness.
• Yi Xuan found a motionless black hole in his Dantian and realized it was connected to the Three-Legged Golden Crow's disappearance.
• The black hole released overwhelming power into Yi Xuan's body and Sea of Consciousness, and the Book of Technology opened and began absorbing it.

Yi Xuan regained control of his body after the black hole in his Dantian refined the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s soul, though the black hole and Book of Technology kept draining and circulating energy through him. He learned that the Evil Corpse had swallowed the Golden Crow’s embryo, and the three parts of Yi Xuan began reconsidering what the mysterious black hole was as Xingtian kept digesting it.

• Yi Xuan watched the black hole and Book of Technology pass energy through his body, making him swell and shrink, while his connection to the Good and Evil Twin Corpses returned.
• Yi Xuan told the twin corpses that the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s soul had invaded his Sea of Consciousness and taken control of his body before the black hole refined it.
• The Evil Corpse revealed that he had swallowed the Three-Legged Golden Crow’s embryo with Xingtian’s Gene Furnace and was absorbing egg white while trying to digest it.
• The original explained that the black hole had refined the Golden Crow’s soul and sent its power to the Book of Technology, prompting the others to question whether the black hole was a trait of Rootless People.
• Yi Xuan and the twin corpses resolved to investigate Rootless People again, and Yi Xuan suspected the black hole might be connected to his transmigration.

After absorbing the energy refined from the Three-Legged Golden Crow's divine soul, the Book of Technology transformed and gained an intelligent search function and the ability Yi Xuan named Creation. Yi Xuan considered whether the black hole was preventing his breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, then began testing Creation.

• The black hole spent sixty years transferring its energy into Yi Xuan before it stopped releasing power.
• The Book of Technology turned its blank, glowing pages, closed, and transformed into a tablet-like device.
• Yi Xuan discovered that the Book of Technology had gained an intelligent search function and the Creation ability, which could produce objects with absolute precision.
• Yi Xuan learned that Creation could make objects directly from elements, bypassing the limitations of materials.
• Yi Xuan wondered whether the black hole was preventing him from reaching Foundation Establishment, then began his first attempt at Creation.
