After Inid tested Breler’s strength, Zhou Tong offered him the position, leaving Breler and the other emissaries stunned by the apparent chance to become an official emissary without surviving the Plane Battlefield.

• As the elemental forces transformed across the vast region, Zhou Tong’s soul immersed itself in the process and gained new insights into applying his Laws.

Zhou Tong used the creation of fusion God Planes to cultivate the laws and rules he had mastered, eventually completing several new fusions and forging a powerful divine sword. He then began another prolonged cultivation session, adding insights from other worlds to his plane-making experiments.

• Zhou Tong created fusion God Planes at the boundaries of the Earth and Water planes and the Fire and Destruction planes, using the process to cultivate their laws and rules.

• After Zhou Tong demonstrated that he could kill him effortlessly, Ofa swore to the Supreme Gods to become Kahn's servant and agreed to hand over his research.

After mastering Orff’s research, Zhou Tong gathered resources and researchers to perfect the Destiny Overlord’s strongest sword strike, “Beyond Reincarnation.” He tested it in the chaotic spatial currents, where the strike unleashed a devastating explosion and sent nearby material planes off course.

• Zhou Tong returned to the Hell Karosa Continent and spent over ten thousand years absorbing Orff’s research into the world’s four fundamental elements.

After his sword strike nearly touched the barrier between worlds, Zhou Tong concluded that his mismatched Fusion Divine Power had kept it from breaking through. He spent billions of years studying internal spaces and accumulating Hong Meng Spiritual Qi, then compressed it inside his body to prepare for creating a plane, but chose to wait until he was certain before proceeding.

• Zhou Tong realized his four-element sword technique was sound but his Earth, Water, Fire, and Destruction Fusion Divine Power weakened the strike, and he decided he needed a Profound Yellow Undying Body to endure Hong Meng Space.
• Zhou Tong began accumulating Hong Meng Spiritual Qi in the God Plane he had opened and studied how Ba Serpent, Suanni, and other divine beasts formed internal spaces, with Destiny Overlord assisting him.
• Over several billion years, Zhou Tong gathered a vast sphere of Hong Meng Spiritual Qi while his Destruction God Avatar traveled through countless planes and conducted research.
• Zhou Tong reunited his avatars and drew the Hong Meng Spiritual Qi into the internal space in his abdomen, compressing it into a nearly solid black sphere.
• Zhou Tong decided not to proceed immediately with creating a plane and instead chose to stabilize himself and continue comprehending until he was certain.

Zhou Tong used Hong Meng Spiritual Qi to convert his Inner World toward a Five Elements foundation, gradually forming a new inner space with different laws. After ten billion years, its world barrier replaced the original one, triggering a profound transformation in Zhou Tong’s body.

• Zhou Tong tried to divide a wisp of Hong Meng Spiritual Qi into the Five Elements, but the attempt destabilized his Inner World until he used Berserk and his fused Sovereign power to contain it.

• Zhou Tong felt a powerful, origin-level transformation spread through his body.

• Zhou Tong reflected on how his transformed body and divine soul had stabilized his strength, then began simulating a cosmic black hole with the Hong Meng Spiritual Qi in his Inner World.
• The Hong Meng Spiritual Qi sphere expanded toward the world barrier, then collapsed into a tiny black orb that Zhou Tong deemed insufficiently energized.
• Zhou Tong sent his earth, water, and fire sovereign power into his Inner World and borrowed wind sovereign power from Beirut, giving Beirut his Life Supreme Battle Armor and the Destiny Supreme Divine Sword.
• The four types of sovereign power formed vortices and fed the black orb until it became an unstable black hole, whose power pierced the Panlong Universe and connected Zhou Tong to Hong Meng Space.
• Zhou Tong realized Hong Meng Spiritual Qi would soon surge back through the passage, so he used his remaining power to try to create a small Five Elements space within Hong Meng Space.

Zhou Tong created a small bubble in the Hong Meng Space and expanded it into a world using elemental Sovereign power. After a million years of travel and waiting, the origin point fully refined the space, giving him complete control over it.

• Zhou Tong created a tiny bubble in the Hong Meng Space and asked Beirut for more wind-element Sovereign power to expand it.
• Beirut gathered the wind-element Sovereign power while Zhou Tong collected earth-, fire-, and water-element power over three hundred years.
• Zhou Tong sent the four elemental powers into the bubble, where they transformed into Hong Meng Spiritual Qi and expanded the world to one hundred thousand li across.
• Zhou Tong formed an origin point at the world's center, which began drawing in Hong Meng Spiritual Qi and gradually refining the space.
• Zhou Tong traveled and experienced life across the major races and planes while the origin point refined the world over a million years.
• The origin point took control of the entire world, and the last barrier between Zhou Tong and the space vanished.

• Zhou Tong surveyed the universe and sensed it absorbing Hong Meng Spiritual Qi as it continued to grow.
• Zhou Tong found that Profound Yellow Qi had formed at the universe's center and realized it made the world more stable.
• Zhou Tong compared Hong Meng Space's Profound Yellow Qi with the Profound Yellow Qi of the Shrouding the Heavens World and concluded that the former was far higher in quality.

Zhou Tong watched his universe evolve until all three layers were perfected, then used its origin to transform his soul and fused most of the Profound Yellow Qi into his body to achieve the Profound Yellow Undying Body. He gave Beirut a Supreme Artifact for soul defense and entered Hong Meng Space to investigate further.

• Zhou Tong divided his universe into tens of millions of worlds, and its completed mortal layer gave him mastery over the laws of time and space.

• Hongmeng showed Zhou Tong his four subsidiary universes and their cultivation systems, which Zhou Tong examined for ways to benefit his True Fates.
• Hongmeng summoned the Hong Meng Golden Ranking and told Zhou Tong that signing it would grant control over Hong Meng Space, then urged him to sign.

Zhou Tong refused to sign the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, suspecting that it controlled destiny and trapped its signers within Hong Meng Space. He escaped with his universe, while Hongmeng realized Zhou Tong came from beyond the space and resumed waiting for another transcendent.

• Zhou Tong questioned whether only people with uncertain destinies could enter Hong Meng Space, and concluded the Hong Meng Golden Ranking might control the fates of those within it.
• Zhou Tong challenged Hongmeng to demonstrate divine abilities beyond his own comprehension and learned that destiny was the one ability tied to signing the ranking.
• Zhou Tong argued that the Hong Meng Golden Ranking appeared deliberately designed and warned that signing it might prevent anyone from transcending Hong Meng Space.

• Hongmeng realized Zhou Tong came from beyond Hong Meng Space, celebrated the existence of a broader world, and sent the ranking back to its place while waiting for another transcendent.

Zhou Tong spent thirty thousand years battling Dark Bodies to learn how to eradicate Dark Matter, then discovered his returned Sky Horn Ant True Fate carried an overwhelmingly powerful Inner World. As that world began merging into his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, he braced himself to keep them from collapsing.

• Zhou Tong defeated and tore apart his one hundred seventy-second Immortal King-level Dark Body, exhausting the Dark Immortal King's true blood in the process.
• After thirty thousand years of battles, Zhou Tong developed a secret art that could easily eradicate Dark Matter below the Immortal King level, though purifying Immortal King-level Dark Matter remained difficult.

• The Reincarnation Mirror blazed as Zhou Tong's Sky Horn Ant True Fate returned, revealing an Inner World far more powerful than his Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.
• The returned Inner World merged into Zhou Tong's Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, and he sat down to stabilize them before they could break apart.

Zhou Tong struggled to contain the three-layered universe brought back by his Sky Horn Ant True Fate, which threatened to shatter the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings.

• The Sky Horn Ant avatar began extracting its soul from the God Realm, but the realm flared and widened the cracks in the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings, forcing it to reabsorb the soul and suppress the realm.

After returning from the Immortal Domain, Zhou Tong assessed the damage to the Ten Cave Heaven Divine Rings and resolved to strengthen his True Fates while gathering the world’s geniuses for an Enlightenment Tea Banquet. The banquet drew Ye Fan, Wu Shi the Great, Azure Emperor, and Ruthless Great Emperor to the Divine Domain, where they hoped to hear about the Immortal Domain.
