Catalog only. The chapter bodies were not read. No quoted lines, no free-preview paste, no claim that a welcome row, a restarted section 1, or the newest button is the first door.
Search Heaven-Severing Martial Emperor or 绝天武帝. The Qidian page does not print an English title. The mobile book page is book 1011086204, author 苍天霸主.
作品相关 is one row, 今天就一章，过几天二十章补更。. The story volume is 神王不死 and opens on 第一章 神王归来. The next row is 第二章 平阳大师. 问道苍茫, 谁主沉浮, and 逐鹿天下 keep the running count. They do not restart at 第一章. The page still says 连载. The newest slot is 第二千零七十六章 段氏主脉. 2130 rows. 436.57万 characters is the shelf label. The mobile page said 连载, updated 2020-07-10, category 玄幻·东方玄幻. The apology about one chapter today is a note. 神王归来 is the door, and later volumes do not reset the numbers.
Start at 第一章 神王归来
Open 第一章 神王归来 on Qidian and follow that catalog from the first story row, not from the newest button. The Chinese original, 绝天武帝, is the book page.

The newest button is not the door
The newest timestamp points at 第二千零七十六章 段氏主脉. 436.57万 characters is a shelf label, not a dare. You are deciding whether 第一章 神王归来, filed under 玄幻, is your door. 连载 is a status.
