Chapter Summaries

Qu Jianlei and Han Li faced a hostile Wuya Great Monarch while the Saving the Heavens from Tilting team gathered powerful allies around them. After Boping attacked the Wuya cultivator to stop her threats, he warned that anyone hostile to Lianxing would become its public enemy.

• Red-Faced True Monarch confronted the Crystal Ancestor, which denied having anything to do with heavenly-tilting karma, while the Wuya Great Monarch questioned Qu Jianlei about the mission and his past with the Baiyou Merchant Alliance.
• Han Li tried to explain that karma could be secondary, prompting the Wuya Great Monarch to notice something unusual about him and Wenshi to demand that she show him respect.
• Han Li revealed the Soul-Splitting Palace as a treasure he had taken from the Baiyou Merchant Alliance, and the Wuya Great Monarch threatened to punish him.
• Qu Jianlei, Mobius Ring, Wuchen, and Wenshi each declared they would protect Han Li, leaving the Wuya Great Monarch unable to act against him.
• Qu Jianlei challenged the Wuya Great Monarch to address him directly, and Boping abruptly attacked her with Decay Aura when she continued threatening Lianxing.
• Boping denied bearing malice toward Wuya but warned that anyone who showed hostility toward Lianxing would become its public enemy.

True Monarch Boping confronted Wuya World over Lianxing’s plans and threatened to make their opponents public enemies. After the female cultivator True Monarch withdrew and severed karma, the two sides negotiated, with Boping demanding compensation for Han Li and leaving the question of their departure unresolved.

• Red-Faced True Monarch questioned whether Lianxing’s actions could endanger Wuya World, and Boping admitted there might be hidden dangers.
• Mobius Ring refused to back down, while Han Li revealed that he had a Mysterious Venerable elder and challenged the female cultivator True Monarch to speak with that elder.
• The female cultivator True Monarch withdrew and declared that she was severing karma, but Boping divined that her departure did not settle the matter.
• Red-Faced True Monarch insisted that Lianxing’s group leave Wuya’s territory, and True Monarch Jiuqi offered to meet their demands to avoid a fight.
• Boping demanded that Wuya compensate Han Li with a Soul-Splitting Treasure before discussing whether Lianxing’s group would leave.

Qu Jianlei’s group negotiated compensation from Wuya World for the Soul-Splitting Treasure incident and continued toward the third Silent Zone. They found only three dying Star Swallowing Beasts inside, and Great Monarch Boping offered to deal with them.

• True Monarch Boping demanded World Cores from True Monarch Jiuqi, citing Wuya World’s past refusal to help Lianxing World.
• Qu Jianlei’s Spider arrived dragging a Middle Thousand World, and Jiuqi agreed to provide three World Cores.
• Han Li declined to promise he could complete the operation alone, while the group discussed using Suiyue in the Silent Zone to identify the Higher Dimension.
• After twenty days of travel, the group reached the third Silent Zone and left Wuchen, Wenshi, and Crystal Ancestor outside to keep watch.
• Qu Jianlei’s group entered the Silent Zone and found three badly wounded, nearly dead Out-of-Body Realm Star Swallowing Beasts, so Great Monarch Boping offered to act.

Qu Jianlei and the Great Monarchs sacrificed the Star Swallowing Beasts in the Silent Zone, then decided to sacrifice the zone itself as bait for their effort to save the heavens. True Monarch Boping returned with Taotie's devouring talent for Qu Jianlei to learn, but Luo Fu's aura revealed that the talent carried destructive, corrupting influences.

• Qu Jianlei sacrificed the three Star Swallowing Beasts to the Ritual Artifact, which left behind a World Core and an unidentified Black Line that divination warned them not to move.
• The Great Monarchs divined for three months and agreed to sacrifice the Silent Zone as bait, while True Monarch Wuchen and True Monarch Wenshi urged them to wait for news from Houde.
• True Monarch Boping returned with Taotie's devouring talent and told the others that Taotie had given it up after preparing a backup.
• Qu Jianlei reluctantly accepted the talent, and Han Li offered to divine whether absorbing it would leave hidden dangers.
• Qu Jianlei asked Luo Fu to clear the talent, and Luo Fu's aura drew green smoke from the Light Orb, revealing the talent's destructive and corrosive qualities.

Qu Jianlei and the others carefully refined Taotie’s devouring talent, while news arrived about their allies and the halt to world exploration. Qu Jianlei absorbed the talent in only three months, and the Dao Stele showed no resistance to it.

• Luo Fu spent half a month removing the negative factors from Taotie’s talent, while Qu Jianlei learned that Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan remained safe and that Kong Yu had begun contacting Tianli and Qingning.
• The Grand Protector’s group stopped exploring other worlds, and the group planned for Little Sister’s avatar to bring Qingkong, Xiwu, and Qigou over after three months.
• Qu Jianlei absorbed the refined devouring talent, and Little Sister’s divination cut the expected deadline from twenty years to three months.
• Qingkong, Xiwu, and Qigou arrived as Qu Jianlei completed the absorption, and Mobius Ring confirmed it was finished.
• Qu Jianlei used the Creation Compass to sense the Dao Stele and found that it did not reject the devouring talent.

Qu Jianlei continued digesting the Dao Stele’s power while his allies discussed changes in the Maiden Star Region and prepared to lure the Higher Dimension into a trap. The chapter ended when divination revealed that the Silent Zone posed an unexpectedly high, Upper-Mid Danger.

• Qu Jianlei absorbed the Dao Stele’s power, then remained in seclusion to digest and cultivate it rather than emerge immediately.
• Qingkong reported that the Maiden Star Region was becoming violent, and True Monarch Wuchen later confirmed its expansion had peaked and might begin contracting.
• Qu Jianlei asked whether the Empire had suffered losses and requested three more months, prompting Xiaoyou and Han Wei to suspect he was concerned about a loose end in the Maiden Star Region.
• Xiaoyou told Han Li of their suspicion and secured permission to send two Wanwu Cultivators to investigate, while insisting she would still compete for another chance to enter the Silent Zone.
• Three months later, Qu Jianlei emerged in a solidified form and said he had begun forcefully digesting and compressing the power he had absorbed.
• The group debated baiting the Higher Dimension and divined the Silent Zone, whose Upper-Mid Danger result surprised them; Mobius Ring decided to divine it the next day.

The cultivators monitored the Silent Zone as its danger fluctuated, then sent clones inside when a brief drop created an opening. When the danger fell further and persisted, Little Sister analyzed the space and led a new charge into it, while Qu Jianlei remained outside.

• The Mobius Ring’s divination showed the Silent Zone had become Upper-Upper Danger, and the group suspected Qu Jianlei’s absorption of an Alien Race talent might have caused the change.
• The group agreed to observe the danger for three years, taking turns divining, and later saw brief drops that repeatedly rebounded.
• After another drop to Mid-Mid Danger, Great Monarch Boping and Mobius Ring sent clones into the Silent Zone with Xiaoyou, Qingkong, Dog Rider, and Luo Fu’s clones; Qu Jianlei stayed behind to digest the stones.
• The danger fell again twelve days later and continued for five days, prompting Han Li to suggest that the trapped clones might be trying to escape.
• Little Sister analyzed the space and led a charge through the Taiyuan paifang, telling Qu Jianlei to stay outside; Han Li left a clone behind and followed with his main body.

Saving the Heavens from Tilting’s team faced escalating danger inside the Energy Mass until True Monarch Wenshi found a way to open a path and bring the explorers out. The survivors returned to Taiyuan Sea, where they began the required inspection of everyone who had entered the Other Space.

• The team’s danger level fluctuated for several days, and True Monarch Wenshi eventually divined a direction where the situation could be broken.
• Luo Fu sensed an avatar and directed the others to the right position; True Monarch Wenshi attacked there, opening a hole in the Energy Mass and revealing a Paifang gate.
• Taiyuan Sea appeared and ordered Wenshi to continue bringing everyone out, and the trapped explorers emerged, including an injured True Venerable and a figure over ten meters tall.
• After the hole closed, Wenshi, Wuchen, and Crystal Ancestor formed the Starry Sky Three Powers Array and asked the returnees to cooperate with post-expedition verification.
• Mobius Ring revealed her old-woman form and submitted to inspection, while True Monarch Boping urged the tall Great Shaman Gou to accept the same procedure.

The Cultivators learned that Great Shaman Gou had been trapped in the Silent Zone for thousands of years and worked with him to escape. Gou explained that he had recovered his Great Shaman cultivation inside the zone and hoped to study whether it could help Out-of-Body Realm cultivators break through to the Soul-Splitting Realm.

• The Great Monarchs discovered that the towering figure was a Great Shaman named Gou, who had been trapped in the Silent Zone for thousands of years.
• Gou and the Cultivators stopped fighting after confirming each other's identities, then worked together to break out of the Silent Zone.
• After escaping, Gou revealed that the zone had trapped him after he recovered his Great Shaman cultivation there, and he agreed to share his experiences as repayment for being rescued.
• Qu Jianlei and the others questioned Gou about a vanished Black Line, but he said he knew nothing about it.
• Gou explained that he had wanted to study whether the Silent Zone could let Out-of-Body Realm cultivators attempt a breakthrough to the Soul-Splitting Realm.

Qu Jianlei and his companions enlisted the Great Shaman’s help to prepare a divination, while he shared his understanding of time with Qu Jianlei and Xiaoyou. The Great Shaman also learned about Luo Fu’s shaman inheritance and the Martial Dao World before half a month passed and the group prepared to begin.

• The Great Shaman offered to help Qu Jianlei’s group use the Silent Zone as bait, then warned them that challenging the power above had likely killed a senior he once knew.
• Han Li showed the Great Shaman an image of that senior and explained that they had already sent him on his way.
• Qu Jianlei showed the Great Shaman a green Light Orb and revealed his approach to Saving the Heavens from Tilting; the Great Shaman recognized that Qu Jianlei was the main force behind it.
• At Little Sister’s urging, Qu Jianlei revealed his understanding of time, and the Great Shaman discovered that Xiaoyou also knew the Years Divine Ability before agreeing to guide them.
• The Great Shaman questioned Luo Fu about her shaman inheritance and Righteous Sect, then gave brief pointers on time to Qu Jianlei and Xiaoyou as they asked questions over the next two weeks.
• After half a month of discussion and preparation, Mobius Ring said the group would begin the divination.

Qu Jianlei and Xiaoyou finished receiving the Great Shaman’s guidance, and the group agreed to let him help protect them while they worked on Saving the Heavens from Tilting. The Great Shaman then learned of Qu Jianlei’s unusual ability to absorb World Cores and heard that he had done so as a Nascent Soul.

• Qu Jianlei and Xiaoyou ended their questioning, and the Great Shaman asked whether the Righteous Sect would help with the Heavenly Tilting.
• Luo Fu named Ancestor Qing as the Righteous Sect figure who had once formed ties with the Shaman Cultivators, and the Great Shaman implied that Ancestor Qing had died.
• The Great Shaman offered to help protect the group, and Qu Jianlei brought the offer to the others, who agreed to accept his protection.
• Qu Jianlei entered the Abode to tell Haoran Obsession that Ancestor Qing might be gone, while the Great Shaman rested nearby.
• Luo Fu asked the Great Shaman whether Shaman Cultivators could digest Silent Zones and revealed that Qu Jianlei had absorbed World Cores as a Nascent Soul.
• The Great Shaman was astonished by Qu Jianlei’s feat and asked how he had handled the vast energy of a World Core.

Qu Jianlei continued digesting the Silent Zone while the Great Shaman discussed his unusual cultivation and the possibility of compressing the zone into higher-grade vitality. After the True Monarchs decided to explore other areas and seek Void Shepherds for Qu Jianlei’s tests, the Great Shaman learned more about the Heavenly Tilting Aura and asked to visit Lianxing World.

• Luo Fu told the Great Shaman that Qu Jianlei had reached the Out-of-Body Realm by absorbing a World Core, and that he had expounded the method at a True Monarch Dao Field.
• Qu Jianlei asked whether the Great Shaman could compress the Silent Zone, suggesting that compression might produce higher-grade vitality.
• After half a month of divination produced few useful results, the True Monarchs chose to explore other places rather than focus on the Silent Zone.
• Qu Jianlei asked the True Monarchs to capture Star Swallowing Beasts or Void Shepherds for an experiment, and Mobius Ring agreed to send out more avatars.
• Qu Jianlei said digesting the Silent Zone would take over a hundred years, though he hoped to learn multithreaded processing within a few years.
• After learning that Cultivators could benefit from Saving the Heavens from Tilting, the Great Shaman asked to visit Lianxing World.

The Great Shaman joined the effort to save Lianxing World from heavenly tilting and brought back a massive Energy Mass that might contain High-Dimensional Elements. After he agreed to try relocating a Heavenly Tilting Point, Jing Yuexin emerged from seclusion in Houde Realm and learned that Qu Jianlei was occupied with the crisis.

• The Great Shaman offered Shamanic Methods as a refuge for Lianxing World's descendants if the effort failed, and the True Monarchs agreed to let him participate.
• After more than a year, the Great Shaman returned with a huge Energy Mass, which Qu Jianlei and the Mobius Ring identified as a possible source of High-Dimensional Elements.
• Qu Jianlei asked the Great Shaman to relocate a small Heavenly Tilting Point, and the Great Shaman agreed to try.
• After a year, Jing Yuexin emerged from seclusion in Houde Realm after successfully advancing with help from True Monarch Kong Yu and the other True Venerables.
• Jing Yuexin learned that Duo Gan had entered the Frost Period and that Qu Jianlei was reversing the heavenly tilting, then asked whether he was in danger.

Jing Yuexin returned to Cangwu after learning she could not join Qu Jianlei’s dangerous effort to save the heavens, and she took charge of Red Leaf Ridge while he was away. As news of the effort’s progress drew visitors seeking to join or learn more, she arranged for Lingyun Sect to help turn them away.

• Han Li told Jing Yuexin to protect Qu Jianlei’s foundation and not interfere with Saving the Heavens from Tilting, while confirming that many True Monarchs had joined the effort.
• Jing Yuexin returned to Cangwu, where cultivators learned she had reached the Out-of-Body Realm and that Duo Gan had also succeeded and would return within a hundred years.
• Jing Yuexin announced that Cangwu’s affairs would continue as before, then focused on internal matters and preparing to refine her Abode.
• A senior member of the Lingyun line visited Jing Yuexin with a gift and asked to join Saving the Heavens from Tilting; she directed him to seek out Han Li instead.
• As more visitors arrived from Houde and other Cultivation Worlds, Jing Yuexin asked Baiqiao to help handle them, and Lingyun sent disciples to Red Leaf Ridge to block the uninvited guests.

Jing Yuexin met Luo Fu, who brought her to see Qu Jianlei while he was occupied with the Heavenly Tilting Point. Their reunion led Jing Yuexin to remind Qu Jianlei of a promise involving Qingning and Qing'er, leaving Han Li warning her about the risks of a high-realm cultivator bearing a child.

• Jing Yuexin visited Jiuyou Island to ask Han Li and Baiqiao about Duo Gan and Qu Jianlei, then met Luo Fu when she arrived.
• Luo Fu offered to take Jing Yuexin to see Qu Jianlei, and Han Li and True Monarch Wenshi accompanied them after learning Jing Yuexin would go in an avatar.
• Jing Yuexin arrived where Qu Jianlei and the others were studying the Heavenly Tilting Point, and Qu Jianlei noticed her after Jin Ge congratulated her.
• Jing Yuexin reminded Qu Jianlei of his promise that Qingning and Qing'er could live peacefully together, while Song Yue'er and Xiwu reacted to the prospect of Qing'er bearing Qingning's child.
• Han Li warned Jing Yuexin that childbirth was dangerous for a female cultivator of her realm and urged her to consider the matter carefully.

Qu Jianlei and the gathered experts tested a plan to simulate Higher Dimension transformation as part of Saving the Heavens from Tilting. A Lianxing True Venerable completed the first trial, while Jing Yuexin realized Qu Jianlei faced years of dangerous work and resolved to cultivate so she could help.

• Qu Jianlei proposed simulating a Higher Dimension and asked the experts to test the approach without risking direct contact with one.
• A Lianxing True Venerable volunteered, expanded into a vast Energy Mass, and maintained the transformation while the group performed repeated divinations for twenty days.
• The Lianxing True Venerable returned to human form, reported that he could no longer endure the transformation, and shared the structures he had recorded.
• Jing Yuexin learned that Qu Jianlei's tasks were scheduled for at least a hundred years and might take several hundred, and she felt ashamed that she could only watch him shoulder the danger.
• Luo Fu urged Jing Yuexin to cultivate so she could help, and True Venerable Qigou signed up to attempt simulated dimensional elevation next.

Qu Jianlei shared unconventional ideas for investigating the Higher Dimension fluctuation after the group’s experiments produced only fleeting clues. The gathered experts began considering his proposed approaches and the Great Shaman’s Shaman Cultivator methods.

• True Venerable Boping used a clone for divination, and its sudden collapse revealed a faint fluctuation near the Silent Zone that the group suspected came from the Higher Dimension.
• Mobius Ring tried to capture the fluctuation using True Venerable Kunxiu’s Heavenly Tilting Aura, but the result was weaker, and Kunxiu urged her to consult Qu Jianlei before risking another attempt.
• Qu Jianlei said the group’s goal of reaching and surpassing the Higher Dimension might be too low, prompting Mobius Ring and True Monarch Boping to reconsider their approach.
• True Monarch Boping pressed Qu Jianlei to share his ideas, and Qu Jianlei outlined alternative structures and principles for their investigation.
• True Monarch Wuchen praised Qu Jianlei’s novel thinking, and the Great Shaman suggested incorporating Shaman Cultivator techniques.

After True Monarch Boping successfully imitated the Higher Dimension, he kept the crucial details secret and shared what he could with Mobius Ring and Qu Jianlei. Mobius Ring repeated the feat, and Qu Jianlei prepared an array and Tech-Side equipment for his own attempt as Han Li checked on him.

• The Great Shaman and the others continued discussing ways to save the heavens from tilting, and True Monarch Boping reached a pseudo–Higher Dimension state through an experiment near the Silent Zone.
• True Monarch Boping warned everyone not to discuss his success, then privately shared what he could with Mobius Ring and Qu Jianlei while keeping outsiders from gaining the method for free.
• Mobius Ring successfully imitated the Higher Dimension three months later, with the Great Shaman protecting her, though the borrowed Heavenly Tilting Aura from True Venerable Kunxiu was badly injured.
• Qu Jianlei prepared a grand array, two Division Level Ships, a Legion-Class ship, and a Digital Platform before preparing to attempt the process himself.
• Luo Fu followed to protect Qu Jianlei, and Han Li asked whether he had stopped digesting the Silent Zone.

Qu Jianlei tested his attempt to imitate the Higher Dimension near the Heavenly Tilting Point using Out-of-Body Realm puppets, discovering that the trials triggered powerful karmic backlash and produced a different effect from the others’ methods. After the second puppet vanished, he planned to recover before continuing, while allies offered more puppets for his research.

• Jing Yuexin warned Qu Jianlei about harmonic resonance, and he decided to use a puppet rather than risk his avatar.
• Qu Jianlei controlled a beast puppet near the Heavenly Tilting Point, where it vanished after five days and the backlash damaged him through karma despite his Karma Isolation Wall.
• Qu Jianlei used a humanoid puppet for a second test, which disappeared after three days and left Boping sensing that the effect differed from their own.
• Qu Jianlei said he was imitating the Higher Dimension through an unorthodox method, while Wenshi, Wuchen, and Little Sister offered to find him more Out-of-Body Realm puppets.
• Qu Jianlei said he needed to recover before continuing his experiments.

Qu Jianlei’s analysis suggested that his imitation of the Higher Dimension had surpassed the versions created by Mobius Ring and True Monarch Boping, though he remained unsure of what that meant. He shifted to testing Out-of-Body Realm puppets near the Heavenly Tilting Point, and the group began seeking more puppets for the dangerous project.

• True Monarch Boping and Mobius Ring discussed Qu Jianlei’s unusually brutal Higher Dimension simulation and wondered whether it had surpassed the real thing.
• After their own simulations, Mobius Ring and True Monarch Boping learned that Qu Jianlei’s results differed from theirs, and Mobius Ring asked him whether he had surpassed the Higher Dimension.
• Xiao Hu’s analysis found that Mobius Ring’s and True Monarch Boping’s simulations produced extremely similar data, leading Qu Jianlei to suspect that his own simulation had surpassed theirs.
• Wenshi and Little Sister supplied Out-of-Body Realm puppets, and Qu Jianlei used them to test his theories and imitate the two True Monarchs.
• Qu Jianlei said he had gained an idea for stirring the Heavenly Tilting Point, while True Monarch Boping hesitated to risk the task and Mobius Ring demanded another True Venerable with Heavenly Tilting Aura.
• True Monarch Boping sought more Out-of-Body Realm puppets, True Monarch Wuchen doubted anyone would sell them, and Han Li offered Vitality Aura in exchange.
