undergo changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many from the Trial Planets returned to Blue Star, while others from different civilizations also entered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the oceans, land reclamation began, giving rise to new islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, batches of Blue Star residents entered these small islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the major nations of the Blue Star Federation, investigations into prominent families and corporations commenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family members were arrested and imprisoned for various crimes, some even executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fang family suffered the deepest purge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over a hundred were arrested, with dozens directly executed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this was ordered by Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some descendants, favored by his uncle and aunt, begged for mercy—but he firmly refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This purge on Blue Star targeted not only its own people but also those from other civilizations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those from powerful conglomerates or with extraordinary backgrounds were punished if they broke Blue Star’s laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, five months passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blue Star endured a bloody upheaval, claiming many lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The planet became significantly cleaner, and its systems rapidly resumed operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That day, beyond the Trial Planet in the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless starships had hovered outside the planet for months, enforcing a blockade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant golden light still illuminated the entire planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could easily sense that the source energy density in space was steadily increasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, several starships emerged, alongside dozens of figures suspended in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi, clad in Dark Yao  battle armor, was among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, the purple-robed Lei Zun gazed at the golden Trial Planet and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after his words, an invisible ripple surged through the cosmos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A miniature space wormhole formed, its spatial law ripples spreading outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In everyone’s sight, a figure burst forth from the wormhole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a tall, handsome man with blue-green hair, draped in a dark green robe, his eyes like silver diamonds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he appeared, a vast aura of life and wind filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Lin Qi’s second time seeing a Sovereign in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time was when he met Tianyuan Sovereign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sovereigns had not appeared when he returned last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Sovereign lacked Tianyuan’s soul-shaking presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he radiated vitality, like a gentle spring breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet that vitality carried the power to consume.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, this Sovereign was no ordinary being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His diamond-bright eyes glanced at Lin Qi, then smiled at Yan Zun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little sister, it’s been a long time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crimson-robed Yan Zun smiled in greeting: “Brother, we meet again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll need your help this time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew this was Kongming Sovereign, assigned to retrieve the Trial Planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongming Sovereign chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s chat later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he gazed at the golden Trial Planet and sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the planet where the Chaos Artifact fragment resides—truly extraordinary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a torrent of dark green energy erupted from his body, swallowing the brilliant gold and enveloping the entire planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huuu!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a mighty wind surged—and the Trial Planet vanished from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The colossal Time Planet was now sealed within Kongming Sovereign’s Source Core World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled and said: “Mission accomplished.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then approached the group and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are all from Blue Star. I will take this planet back to Tai Chu Sacred Land and deliver it to my Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He will extract the Chaos Artifact fragment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then return the planet to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured—we will touch nothing but the fragment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group exhaled in relief; a Sovereign’s promise was not to be doubted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongming Sovereign then turned to Lin Qi and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Qi, my Master already knows of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you return to Tai Chu Sacred Land, we’ll have a proper talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your trial will begin then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prepare yourself mentally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi’s expression turned solemn: “I understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kongming Sovereign nodded, exchanged a brief telepathic message with Yan Zun, then opened a new space wormhole and departed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Zun surveyed the group and nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The matter is concluded. It’s time to return.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zun nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, it’s time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi said: “Master, I’m ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zun nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your senior brothers and sisters returned months ago.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your sixth senior sister, Mu Ning, must also return to cultivate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the Trial Planet is returned, she may resume guard duty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But she’s now a Star Domain-level genius—keeping her as guard would be a waste. We can assign another disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi agreed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I’ll follow your orders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m ready—whenever you’re prepared to depart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Jiang Tao, Jiang Miaoyin, and others: “Farewell, everyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Tao laughed: “Qi Ge, farewell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Miaoyin’s eyes shimmered as she waved goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zun’s body erupted in silver light, instantly forming a black hole, silver radiance swirling like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He roared in a deep voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Lin Qi felt a force envelop him, hurling him through the wormhole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, other Invincibles opened space wormholes one after another, returning to the Nine Supreme Forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianyuan Star Domain\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Tai Chu Sacred Land\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two space wormholes materialized out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four figures flew out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They teleported again—and appeared instantly in the core zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From wormhole transit to the core zone, the entire process took less than ten seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Tianhai Residence, Lin Qi regained his senses, unable to help but marvel at the power of spatial laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They landed on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple-robed Lei Zun spoke slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve arrived.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kongming Sovereign will seek you soon—this trial is critical.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t let the pressure overwhelm you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi nodded and said, “I understand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zun nodded, then vanished instantly from where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire training ground was left with only Lin Qi alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around, he was back in the Tai Chu Sacred Land, where rich source energy and law fluctuations once again filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just moments ago he had been in the Solar System; now he had returned to the Tai Chu Sacred Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit that wormhole teleportation was incredibly convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he mastered it, he could return to Blue Star at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This required him to master the ninth true meaning of space law—the Transit True Meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had only just mastered two of them: the Concealment True Meaning and the Tear True Meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven true meanings remained unmastered; his path ahead was still long.\u003C\u002Fp>",1049,"2026-06-20T20:27:49.107Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a68fc7ee5e8340c1704217c20d6feea8da0be5ed8da81a9ff6418012f629ec05","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-962","high-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-chapter-960",992,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhigh-martial-world-getting-strong-by-grinding-er-cover.jpg"]
