Chapter Summaries

While the group compressed a vast Energy Mass to counter Heavenly Tilting, True Monarch Wuchen learned that Han Li’s friend had recovered Great Venerable Wu Xuan’s Abode and Small Tripod. Wuchen agreed to stand guard, but as the long process continued, he grew increasingly curious about the hidden powers and plans surrounding Han Li.

• Mobius Ring told True Monarch Wuchen that the group planned to use the Energy Mass in Lianxing World, and Wuchen arrived to watch while agreeing to keep his distance.
• Han Li told Wuchen that Wu Xuan had died after battling a Flying Centipede, and explained that his friend had obtained Wu Xuan’s Abode and Small Tripod.
• Wuchen tried to investigate the group’s activities, sensed danger, and agreed to stand guard after Little Sister warned him that the Heavenly Tilting karma was serious.
• Three months later, the Spider Grand Monarch sent Wuchen to Cangwu Lower Realm to see the Small Tripod, while Wuchen offered to guide the group to Xinglu World once their current work was finished.
• Over the following years, the group slowly compressed the Energy Mass, and Han Li worried that Duo Gan could not endure the process much longer.
• Luo Fu reported that True Venerable Jing had entered the Out-of-Body Realm with help from True Monarch Kong Yu, whom Mobius Ring identified as his younger brother; Wuchen realized that Han Li had more powerful backers than he knew.

Qu Jianlei emerged after decades of being compressed inside the Energy Mass, having survived the ordeal and completed his mission. The others prepared for his recovery as the Stone continued to shrink.

• The Spider Grand Monarch announced that the Energy Mass had been compressed to about eight hundred kilometers and would emerge in five years, and Mobius Ring volunteered to seal it.
• True Monarch Boping and the Deep Consciousness pursued Taotie, forcing him to seek refuge near Yuxiu World, where its True Monarchs extracted a strand of his origin as a guarantee.
• When Boping and the Deep Consciousness returned, they learned that the Stone had shrunk further by absorbing energy on its own, while Qu Jianlei said Saving the Heavens from Tilting offered little reference for others.
• Qu Jianlei mentioned that Great Venerable Wu Xuan had left a damaged Ritual Artifact, but True Monarch Wuchen said it belonged to Wu Xuan rather than the sect.
• Two years later, the Stone trembled and Qu Jianlei's phantom appeared, thanking everyone for their help and saying he had completed his mission.
• Song Yue'er teased Qu Jianlei about his dangerous seclusion, and Xiaoyou asked whether he needed time to rest.

Qu Jianlei returned from the Maiden Star Region after refining the High-Dimensional Element, and several Great Monarchs gathered around him as he prepared to continue Saving the Heavens from Tilting. He warned them that more participants might make the task harder, leaving them to reconsider how closely they should get involved.

• Qu Jianlei drew the Stone into the space inside his body, while Crystal Ancestor chose to watch and protect his path.
• Qu Jianlei and the others returned to Houde, where his avatar briefly appeared in Cangwu Realm and Xiang Xue said the realm would have at least a hundred years of peace.
• Qu Jianlei gave the Small Tripod to True Monarch Wuchen, who examined it and said he was tracking a Silent Zone that might be found within ten years.
• Kong Yu arrived, praised Qu Jianlei's stronger foundation, and wished him success before leaving.
• Qu Jianlei told the Great Monarchs that more people participating in Saving the Heavens from Tilting could make it harder, and True Monarch Wenshi agreed that he had been right not to join rashly.

Qu Jianlei rested after years of strain, then entered Lianxing’s Heavenly Tilting region to study its aura and search for the hidden thread of vitality that could save the realm. He remained inside for more than half a year, and the observers outside worried that finding Sudden Enlightenment might require him to remove his protection.

• Mobius Ring provided a Small World where the True Venerables could rest, and Qu Jianlei slept for several years before sorting through his gains.
• Qu Jianlei suggested a trip to Lianxing, and the group entered the realm quietly with True Monarch Boping.
• Qu Jianlei raised a Karma Isolation Wall and entered the Decay Aura to compare Heavenly Tilting Aura with the Creation and Destruction he had grasped.
• Qu Jianlei analyzed the aura and concluded that high-dimensional rules were driving Lianxing toward its end.
• Qu Jianlei entered the Heavenly Tilting Point and searched for the hidden vitality, remaining there for more than half a year.
• True Monarch Boping and True Venerable Yueran judged that Qu Jianlei was searching for Sudden Enlightenment, while Han Wei worried he might have to remove his protection.

Qu Jianlei used streams of vitality to withstand the Heavenly Tilting Point and repeatedly enter Sudden Enlightenment, eventually sustaining the state by drawing on an insight from Senior Heng. The observers realized his progress was tied to a mysterious Master's Personal Instruction, but Little Sister warned them not to involve that existence in the heavenly tilt's karma.

• Han Li asked True Monarch Boping to tell Qu Jianlei that his junior sister was outside, and Qu Jianlei left the Heavenly Tilting Point before returning with Luo Fu.
• Qu Jianlei and Luo Fu remained at the Heavenly Tilting Point while Luo Fu covered him with her aura, but the effort initially produced no results.
• Qu Jianlei released streams of vitality toward Luo Fu, alarming the observers as he used hundreds of them to sense vitality and withstand the heavenly tilt.
• Qu Jianlei briefly entered Sudden Enlightenment, lost the state, then used more vitality and eventually maintained it after several attempts.
• Little Sister recognized Qu Jianlei's sustained state as a Master's Personal Instruction connected to Senior Heng, and warned True Monarch Boping not to ask who had imparted it.

After three months of Sudden Enlightenment, Qu Jianlei decided to absorb some Heavenly Tilting Aura so he could sense the High-Dimensional Element and search for a solution. Divination showed that the risky plan would require thousands of strands of vitality, and Qu Jianlei chose to proceed for three months despite Han Li’s concern.

• At the convergence of worlds, True Venerables noticed that the fusion was slowing, while experts outside the Maiden Star Region investigated spreading fluctuations that alarmed the Empire for years.
• After his Sudden Enlightenment ended, Qu Jianlei asked Mobius Ring to divine the consequences of absorbing Heavenly Tilting Aura, with Luo Fu lending her aura as protection.
• Qu Jianlei explained that he wanted to encounter the aura directly to sense the High-Dimensional Element and find a way to break the situation.
• Mobius Ring calculated that Qu Jianlei needed at least two thousand more strands of vitality for a seventy percent chance of expelling the aura within half a year, while True Monarch Boping would need fifty thousand strands to remove his own.
• Qu Jianlei told Han Li that he had over three thousand strands of vitality and planned to limit his exposure to three months, then seek another source of High-Dimensional Elements if necessary.

Qu Jianlei tested a new approach to extracting high-dimensional vitality from the Heavenly Tilting Point, spending much of his remaining life force before emerging with some progress but no complete solution. He warned that the next step might trigger Lianxing World's tribulation early, and left everyone considering how to proceed as he began sorting out unconventional methods.

• Qu Jianlei entered the Heavenly Tilting Point with Luo Fu, who let Decay Aura reach the back of his hand so he could attempt to transform it.
• Qu Jianlei spent more than eight hundred rays of life force to regain Sudden Enlightenment, then continued working inside the point for over a year as the observers tracked his consumption.
• Qu Jianlei sensed vitality and tried to guide out the Heavenly Tilting Point's high-dimensional vitality element, but left after setting a deadline and reported that he had made progress but it was not enough.
• Qu Jianlei said his next attempt might trigger the Heavenly Tilting early, and the gathered Great Monarchs and True Venerables discussed the risks and agreed they might have to trigger it ahead of schedule.
• Qu Jianlei said enough vitality could solve everything but was unrealistic, then concluded that saving the heavens sometimes required unconventional methods.

Qu Jianlei and the cultivators of Lianxing searched for ways to address the Heavenly Tilting, including attacks on higher dimensions and extracting vitality from Alien Races. They considered using Qu Jianlei’s Ritual Artifact, Giant Axe, to help Lianxing, but its willingness to bind to the Boundary Realm and the cultivators’ acceptance remained uncertain.

• Qu Jianlei rejected blood sacrifices and destroying worlds as solutions, then proposed finding a way to attack higher dimensions.
• Great Monarch Boping and two True Venerables of Lianxing warned cultivators against reckless experiments and asked them to consider how to damage higher dimensions.
• Song Yue'er said she could only participate in a True Venerable Battle Formation, prompting Qu Jianlei and the others to consider luring higher dimensions into the real dimension.
• When the ten-year deadline arrived, the group prepared to harvest another wave of vitality, and Great Monarch Boping’s party emerged from the Boundary Realm.
• Qu Jianlei proposed using a Ritual Artifact to extract vitality from sacrificed Alien Races, and True Monarch Boping suggested binding Giant Axe to Lianxing’s Boundary Realm.
• The Mobius Ring explained that Giant Axe might advance if it bound itself to Lianxing, but Qu Jianlei still had to persuade it and Lianxing’s cultivators had to accept it.

Qu Jianlei consulted Giant Axe about using its ritual artifact to help extract higher-dimensional vitality, but learned it could not bind itself to another world and might instead advance. The group entered another Silent Zone to compress its Boundary Realm and draw out vitality, leaving Qu Jianlei and several companions inside as the process began.

• Qu Jianlei asked Giant Axe whether it would bind itself to Lianxing World, and Violent Obsession explained that a ritual artifact shared its world’s fate and could not bind to another world again.
• Soldier Cultivator Obsession agreed that Giant Axe could help extract vitality, requested samples of higher-dimensional vitality for study, and revealed that the artifact might advance.
• Qu Jianlei reported Giant Axe’s answer, and Great Monarch Boping led the group with three additional True Venerables toward another Silent Zone.
• The group agreed to compress the Boundary Realm only enough to extract vitality, then reached the Silent Zone and entered after the Mobius Ring’s divination showed mostly low-level danger.
• Qu Jianlei, Han Li, the Mobius Ring, and Luo Fu remained inside the Boundary Realm as the others began compressing it.

Qu Jianlei and Han Li entered a strange passage discovered during the Boundary Realm’s compression and found a dim space containing the remains of powerful beings. The chapter left them facing a headless Great Shaman corpse whose lingering battle intent might be dangerous.

• After Mobius Ring divined an ominous result, Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Little Sister entered the strange passage while Mobius Ring maintained the compression outside.
• The group traveled through the passage for three days and emerged in a dim, pressure-heavy space where Han Li’s divine sense was restricted.
• Little Sister noticed something unusual, and the group found half of a Great Monarch of the Crystal Race’s enormous body; Little Sister took it away as a resource.
• Guided by the Creation Compass, Qu Jianlei led the group to a gigantic headless Human Race corpse, and the mysterious voice identified it as a Great Shaman.
• Little Sister explained that the Great Shaman was a War Shaman and warned that its lingering battle intent could endanger them; she suspected the Crystal Race remains belonged to its battle partner.

Qu Jianlei, Han Li, and Little Sister discovered that a fallen War Shaman Great Monarch had left behind the passage and the opportunity mentioned by the Creation Compass. Qu Jianlei sacrificed higher-dimensional life aura to respectfully send off the corpse, received a vast gift of life force, and escaped with Han Li before the passage collapsed; afterward, the Deep Consciousness reported that compressing the Silent Zone had become easier.

• Han Li, Qu Jianlei, and Little Sister reasoned that the two dead True Monarchs had likely been War Shamans who tried to reach the Body-Integration Realm and break through the High-Dimensional Barrier.
• Qu Jianlei consulted the Ritual Artifact and divined that he should sacrifice something to respectfully send off the War Shaman Great Monarch; he offered a mass of higher-dimensional life aura.
• The War Shaman's corpse shrank and dissolved into green light, distributing life force among Han Li, Qu Jianlei, the little axe, and the Taiyuan paifang gate.
• Qu Jianlei absorbed tens of thousands of streams of life force and remained motionless for three days before recovering, though he said some of the gift still had to be used against Heavenly Tilting.
• Han Li and Qu Jianlei fled as the passage collapsed behind them, then learned from the Deep Consciousness that more than a month had passed and that the passage's disappearance had eased the difficulty of compressing the Silent Zone.

Qu Jianlei digested the War Shaman’s memories, then resumed producing life-force aura as Mobius Ring compressed the space around them. He and the Ritual Artifact began capturing high-dimensional elements together while Han Li struggled to endure the pressure and learn the process.

• Qu Jianlei explained the Silent Zone’s events to Mobius Ring, withholding the War Shaman’s final secret while confirming that he had gained memories related to the high-dimensional.
• After nearly a month of reflection, Qu Jianlei told Mobius Ring to accelerate the compression and began condensing life-force aura.
• Qu Jianlei warned Mobius Ring to withdraw his divine sense, while Han Li resolved to learn the method and monopolize life-force production with him.
• The Ritual Artifact offered to capture high-dimensional elements for a two-thirds share, and Qu Jianlei negotiated the share to three-quarters.
• Han Li endured the growing pressure as Xiaoyou and True Venerable Kunxiu discussed accelerating the compression, and the Ritual Artifact captured and delivered its first life-force element to Qu Jianlei.

Qu Jianlei and Han Li harvested vitality from the Ritual Artifact while studying higher dimensions, and Qu Jianlei accelerated the compression to help revive Hypocrite. The increased pressure strained them both, and Qu Jianlei sensed something surprising as the vitality yield reached 270 streams a day.

• After the Ritual Artifact's vitality capture rate declined, Qu Jianlei kept the compression steady and offered to take one stream in ten.
• Han Li learned to intercept and convert vitality, though his converted aura differed from Qu Jianlei's.
• Qu Jianlei studied the War Shaman Great Monarch's memories and learned that Hypocrite had not awakened, so he agreed to wait for him.
• Qu Jianlei raised the compression speed twice, and Han Li endured the growing pressure while continuing to convert vitality.
• The Ritual Artifact's daily vitality yield climbed past 200 streams and reached 270, when Qu Jianlei struggled and sensed something that surprised him.

Qu Jianlei and Han Li continued enduring the pressure while the Ritual Artifact gathered life force, and Qu Jianlei consulted the Heroic Spirits about when to stop and whether to pursue higher dimensions. After Qu Jianlei yielded the center position to Axe, Han Li learned to collect High-Dimensional Vitality Elements and turned his attention to contacting his outside clone.

• Qu Jianlei and Han Li endured the pressure together, while Qu Jianlei learned that the Ritual Artifact might need centuries of life force before it could reach higher dimensions.
• Cheap Senior Brother told Qu Jianlei that Hypocrite had awakened and that the Ritual Artifact could collect life force for at least another hundred years, perhaps seven or eight centuries.
• Qu Jianlei asked the Heroic Spirits when to stop and abandoned the plan to test contact with higher dimensions.
• Qu Jianlei's body turned illusory as Axe took the center position, and Han Li began trying to capture High-Dimensional Vitality Elements while resisting the pressure.
• After repeated failures, Han Li captured his first High-Dimensional Vitality Element, improved until he broke even, and spent the following months collecting one or two a day.
• Han Li stopped worrying about Qu Jianlei and Axe and began trying to contact his clone in the outside world.

Han Li and Giant Axe harvested a surge of Vitality Element after Qu Jianlei drew a dangerous disturbance toward himself with Deadly Silence Qi. The Silent Zone settled after nearly half a month, and Qu Jianlei admitted he planned to repeat the risky process twice more as an attractor for Higher Dimension forces.

• Han Li’s attempt to capture Vitality Element was interrupted when the Silent Zone trembled, and Qu Jianlei and Giant Axe entered the Soul-Splitting Palace for protection.
• Qu Jianlei released Deadly Silence Qi and drew the spreading fluctuations toward himself, where the Qi weakened them until the Silent Zone calmed.
• Han Li and Giant Axe emerged to collect the denser Vitality Element while Qu Jianlei warned them that the Higher Dimension’s counterattack was not over.
• The disturbance lasted nearly half a month, letting Han Li capture up to fifteen strands of vitality a day and Giant Axe more than a thousand.
• Han Li questioned Qu Jianlei about the incident, and Qu Jianlei explained that he had used the Silent Zone’s self-correcting ability and intended to repeat the process twice more.
• Qu Jianlei contacted Xiao Hu as the outside cultivators waited for news, and Spider reported that the disturbance could happen three times at least.

Qu Jianlei and his companions stopped harvesting from the Silent Zone after three increasingly powerful tremors warned them against provoking the Higher Dimension again. After distributing the harvested vitality among everyone, they debated what to do with the compressed Boundary Realm, and Luo Fu hinted that Qu Jianlei could harvest more if he chose to.

• After the third tremor left Qu Jianlei recovering for nearly two weeks, the group agreed to stop harvesting for a while and gathered one final wave before leaving the Silent Zone.
• Qu Jianlei and Han Li emerged from the Boundary Membrane, and Qu Jianlei hesitated over whether to undo the Boundary Realm's compression or leave it compressed.
• Luo Fu suggested dragging the Boundary Realm along, while the Mobius Ring proposed asking Crystal Ancestor to do it.
• Qu Jianlei distributed eighteen strands of harvested vitality to everyone, including the Great Monarchs, and True Monarch Wuchen then promised the Boundary Realm would remain safe even if it stayed sealed.
• Great Monarch Boping said Lianxing World was investigating for other Silent Zones, but Crystal Ancestor questioned the value of finding more when Qu Jianlei had not finished using the first one.
• Luo Fu said Qu Jianlei could harvest more but did not consider it worthwhile, and Bright-Eyed Girl told Song Yue'er to seek Taotie if she wanted to learn devouring.

Qu Jianlei’s group learned that Lianxing had found clues to two Silent Zones and considered where to plan their next move. They traveled to Wuya Realm to pass by the Baiyou Merchant Alliance’s headquarters, where the Zhang Family Old Ancestor received news that four Great Venerables had arrived at the Ancestral Shop.

• Great Monarch Boping proposed stripping Taotie’s devouring talent, but Qu Jianlei warned that doing so could strengthen Heavenly Tilting karma.
• The group learned that Lianxing had found clues to two Silent Zones, and Crystal Ancestor volunteered to investigate one while returning its clan to its Middle Thousand World.
• Boping invited Mobius Ring to send an avatar with him to Tianfeng Realm, where they planned to test whether Taotie would accept contamination.
• After half a year, Qu Jianlei declined to plan near Wanwu Realm and instead chose to travel toward Wuya Realm, where the Baiyou Merchant Alliance was headquartered.
• The Zhang Family Old Ancestor heard that four Great Venerables had arrived at the Ancestral Shop.

Qu Jianlei and the Saving the Heavens from Tilting Team visited the Wuya Realm to disguise their plans and reduce their causal ties to the realm. Their presence drew the attention of Wuya’s True Monarchs, and True Monarch Jiuqi began questioning Qu Jianlei’s group.

• The Zhang Family Old Ancestor learned that four unfamiliar True Venerables had traded at the Ancestral Shop and suspected the Gu Family was pressuring his family.
• Qu Jianlei and the others shopped in the Wuya Realm as a way to conceal their plans and lessen the causality of their work.
• The Zhang Family Old Ancestor and a Luo Family True Venerable confronted the group, but fled after a female cultivator told them not to be curious.
• The Zhang Family Old Ancestor reported the group to Wuya’s True Monarchs, prompting True Monarch Jiuqi to investigate.
• True Monarch Jiuqi challenged True Monarch Boping over Lianxing’s presence near Wuya, while Great Monarch Wuchen said he would not take sides.
• True Monarch Jiuqi noticed Qu Jianlei among the Houde cultivators and questioned why so many of them had gathered.

True Monarch Jiuqi confronted the group of powerful cultivators accompanying Qu Jianlei and tried to make them leave, but their connections to several major worlds made him realize Wuya could not easily handle the matter. He remained wary and considered summoning help as Mobius Ring warned him to back down.

• True Monarch Jiuqi noticed the spider on Qu Jianlei's shoulder and ordered the Houde cultivators to leave, invoking his past connection with Taiyuan.
• Mobius Ring revealed ties to Zhongling, and Jiuqi learned that Xiaoyou of Wanwu also stood with Houde and carried a True Monarch's blessing.
• True Monarch Jiuqi divined the situation and discovered that True Monarch Wenshi of Lingyun was involved, causing him to recognize how dangerous the gathering had become.
• Jiuqi warned that Wuya would take the matter seriously and asked whether more Soul-Splitting cultivators were present.
• Mobius Ring refused to answer and urged Jiuqi to listen to advice, while Jiuqi considered summoning helpers.

True Monarch Jiuqi feared that Lianxing intended to transfer the calamity of Heavenly Tilting onto Wuya, while the team continued planning their response in the Silent Zone. When Wuya’s True Monarchs confronted Wenshi and the others, Crystal Ancestor arrived, leaving the risk of a conflict unresolved.

• True Monarch Jiuqi was forced away from the discussion and secretly warned Wuya to consider whether Lianxing might try Grafting Flowers onto Trees to shift Heavenly Tilting onto them.
• True Monarch Wuchen was singled out by roundabout divination, and Little Sister proposed using the Ritual Artifact rather than Qu Jianlei as bait.
• Qu Jianlei agreed to have the Ritual Artifact comprehensively analyzed, while the team continued deducing their formation with Wuchen’s input.
• On the twelfth day, three Great Monarchs arrived and asked Wenshi whether Zhongling’s chosen savior of the heavens from tilting had appeared.
• A red-faced True Monarch challenged Wenshi, then Crystal Ancestor and the Mobius Ring appeared, and Crystal Ancestor asked whether the Crystal Race was about to be drawn into the calamity’s karma.
