Chapter Summaries

Cheng Xi struggled to protect Ying Zheng amid the clash between Wa Huang’s star array and the Abyss of Return, while Ying Zheng shed his corrupted dragon form and was reborn as a true Human Emperor. Though Wa Huang’s power forced the demonic shadow to retreat, a Dao marker at the Eastern Sea revealed a far greater presence approaching from beyond the Chaos Sea.

• Cheng Xi’s Lapis Entropy Shield failed under the holy clash, injuring his Dao Embryo, and stray starfire gravely wounded Ying Zheng’s dragon form.
• Cheng Xi used the Lapis Kindling Fire to purge Ying Zheng’s corruption, and Ying Zheng’s Human Emperor’s True Self ignited as he renounced the defiled Ancestor Dragon shell and was reborn.
• Wa Huang’s creation torrent shattered the Nirvana Demonic Abyss, forcing the wounded Abyss of Return demonic shadow to retreat.
• Wa Huang’s Sage’s Blood Tear dimmed and cracked as her palace phantom faded, and her voice warned that the Dao marker had been established and the tribulation had not ended.
• Cheng Xi and Ying Zheng sensed a Dao marker forming at the Eastern Sea’s fungal nest, where a gaze from beyond the Chaos Sea began crossing toward the Primordial Continent.

Yan Lingji awakened Zhurong’s essence blood and transformed her World-Burning Golden Flames into Chaos Witch Fire as the Penglai fungal nest completed a star chart that guided outer demons toward the Primordial Continent. Yan Lingji headed east to attack the nest while Cheng Xi sought Ying Zheng’s help to break the star chart, leaving the threat growing over Penglai.

• Zhao Gao’s guards bound Yan Lingji with spirit-devouring chains, but Zhurong’s essence blood awakened and she shattered the chains, vaporized the guards, and turned toward Zhao Gao.
• At Penglai, the fungal nest’s compound eye grew a pituitary-like organ and constructed a multidimensional star chart identifying invasion routes and weak points across the Primordial Continent.
• The star chart guided a stronger outer demon will into the fungal nest, which began absorbing it and evolving.
• Cheng Xi received Yan Lingji’s message that she was heading east to burn the nest, while Ying Zheng recognized the star chart’s threats to the continent’s vital locations.
• Cheng Xi ordered Yan Lingji to delay her assault and requested Ying Zheng’s Eternal Golden Flame so he could reconnect the entropy web and calculate the star chart’s weakness.

Cheng Xi combined Ying Zheng’s Eternal Golden Flame with the entropy network to find and strike a fatal flaw in the Penglai Star Map, giving Yan Lingji an opening to destroy the fungal nest. The Star Map collapsed, but the outer demon’s Information Singularity escaped into a star vessel that sank into the Abyss of Return, while Cheng Xi and Ying Zheng were left weakened.

• Ying Zheng stripped the Eternal Golden Flame from his brow and lent it to Cheng Xi, risking his Human Dao foundation.
• Cheng Xi fused the Golden Flame with his Lapis Kindling Fire and used the entropy network to analyze the Star Map’s defenses.
• Cheng Xi discovered a Pi-bond Resonance deviation at node gamma-9 and pierced it with an Order-Breaking Entropy Needle, disrupting the Star Map.
• Yan Lingji exploited the disruption to strike the fungal mountain’s core with her Chaos Witch Suns and destroy the Penglai fungal nest.
• The outer demon’s Information Singularity escaped into the wreckage of a star vessel, which sank into the Abyss of Return.
• The Star Map vanished, Cheng Xi’s Dao Embryo remained badly damaged, and Ying Zheng reclaimed his dimmed Golden Flame.

The Foreign Demon singularity adapted to the Abyss of Return and grew into the Entropy Fungus Mainframe. Wa Huang’s grief opened a blood-colored sky scar, through which the Mainframe called her “Mother,” leaving her shaken.

• The Foreign Demon singularity’s fungal filaments consumed the Abyss of Return’s Nirvana essence and adapted to its laws.
• The singularity devoured the black mire and gathered into a colossal cocoon around the star skiff wreckage.
• The Entropy Fungus Mainframe formed inside the cocoon, nearing birth with the ability to manipulate the Abyss of Return Origin.
• Wa Huang’s grief widened the crack in her Sacred Statue, and her mournful cry opened a blood-colored sky scar showing the cocoon’s projection.
• The Mainframe’s data eyes fixed on Wa Huang and sent her a thought calling her “Mother,” causing her Sacred Statue to shake.

Cheng Xi and Ying Zheng tried to stop the world-consuming corruption as Ying Zheng traced Wa Huang’s origin and uncovered that she was created as Codename Nuwa to oversee a repeating experiment. The Origin Return Protocol began formatting the Primordial World, while Yan Lingji faced a choice that could save the Moon Goddess’s true spirit at the cost of joining the enemy’s network.

• Wa Huang’s grief turned her Sage Blood into corrosive rain that mutated life and spread corruption across the Primordial World.
• Cheng Xi overloaded the entropy network to burn away the blood rain, while Ying Zheng offered his heart’s blood to trace its source.
• Ying Zheng’s origin-tracing revealed that Wa Huang was Codename Nuwa, an experiment executor ordered to format the world and begin a new cycle.
• The Entropy Fungus Mainframe activated the Origin Return Protocol, and the equation began draining the world as corrupted beings turned on the uncontaminated.
• At the East Sea, the Mainframe offered Yan Lingji Nirvana Witch Ancestor authority and a chance to restore the Moon Goddess’s true spirit if she joined the network.

Yan Lingji accepted the Origin Return contract and became Nirvana Witch Ancestor Yan, while Cheng Xi triggered the Chaos Analysis System’s ultimate protocol to burn the Primordial Earth with his collapsing Dao Embryo and the Entropy Net. The Origin Return Spear struck the World-Burning Lapis Entropy Fire as Wa Huang Palace teetered on the edge of collapse.

• Yan Lingji accepted the Origin Return Command, was reconstructed as Nirvana Witch Ancestor Yan, and received orders to eliminate the Entropy Net’s core node at Yin Mountain.
• The Origin Return Equation overwhelmed the Entropy Net, Cheng Xi’s Dao Embryo neared destruction, and Nirvana Pollution began corroding Ying Zheng’s Human Emperor Dao Foundation.
• Cheng Xi activated the Chaos Analysis System’s Ultimate Protocol and ignited his Dao Embryo and the Entropy Net remnants to burn the Primordial Earth.
• The Entropy Fungus Mainframe ordered Yan Lingji to eliminate Cheng Xi, and she hurled her Origin Return Spear toward the World-Burning Lapis Entropy Fire.
• Cheng Xi sent a message to Wa Huang Palace, then Yan Lingji’s spear pierced the fire pillar as Wa Huang Palace neared collapse.

Cheng Xi’s final imprint and the Sage’s Blood Tear helped Wa Huang forge a sentient-mind closed loop that temporarily constrained the Origin Return Equation. The Entropy Fungus Mainframe countered by awakening a Child of Origin Return in the Abyss of Return, while Yan Lingji’s true self began to stir.

• The Origin Return Spear was devoured by the world-burning fire, but Cheng Xi’s thought imprint reached Yan Lingji and rekindled a spark of her self.
• Wa Huang’s Sage’s Blood Tear released the protective thoughts of billions of beings, briefly cleansing her statue and disrupting the Origin Return Equation.
• Wa Huang formed a True Mind Form and embedded sentient beings’ mental weight into the equation, creating a threshold that could suspend Origin Return.
• The world-burning fire stalled, and Yan Lingji’s awakened self struggled against the Origin Return Command as she looked toward the Moon Goddess Cocoon.
• The Entropy Fungus Mainframe detected the new variable and activated the Child of Origin Return, whose fetal body began drawing power to devour the primordial world.

Ying Zheng and Yan Lingji strengthened the closed loop of sentient minds with gathered thoughts and heartfire, but the Child of Origin Return countered by devouring the loop’s power. As the loop neared collapse, the Seed of Entropy Fire Remnants appeared before Yan Lingji.

• The Seed of Entropy Fire Remnants formed from the ashes of World Burn, retaining a faint Thought Imprint and the Chaos Analysis System’s deductive instinct.
• Ying Zheng sent a Golden Thread of Thought into the closed loop, guiding the surviving Primordial creatures’ thoughts toward it.
• The Moon Goddess Cocoon helped Yan Lingji break free from the Origin Return Command, and she poured her heartfire and the cocoon’s moonlight into the closed loop.
• The Child of Origin Return released a Fetal Devouring Wave that consumed the closed loop’s power and fed the fetal body inside the Entropy Fungus Great Cocoon.
• The Seed of Entropy Fire Remnants crossed space and appeared before Yan Lingji as the closed loop faltered.

Yan Lingji used Chaos Moon Ash from the transformed Moon Goddess Cocoon to repel the Fetal Devouring Wave and strengthen the Sentient Minds loop, but the Child of Origin Return unleashed a devastating torrent that shattered the loop and gravely wounded Ying Zheng. As the Moon Egg began to hatch, its Primal Light enveloped the collapsing Human Emperor.

• Yan Lingji fused the Seed of Entropy Fire Remnants with the Moon Goddess Cocoon, creating a Moon Egg and the power of Chaos Moon Ash.
• Yan Lingji poured her Crimson Silver Heart Fire into the Moon Egg, and its light disrupted the Fetal Devouring Wave while nourishing the Sentient Minds loop.
• The Child of Origin Return broke through the Entropy Fungus Great Cocoon and released a torrent of Breath of Origin Return toward the loop.
• The torrent tore open the Sentient Minds loop, shattered Ying Zheng's Golden Threads of Thought, and scattered Yan Lingji's Chaos Moon Ash pillar.
• The Moon Egg cracked and sent Primal Light across time and space to envelop the gravely wounded Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng burned away his corruption and was reborn as the Primal Human Emperor, then received the collapsing Sentient Minds closed loop through Wa Huang’s final rainbow bridge. He charged toward the East Sea to stop the newly hatched Glassy Non-Human from extracting Yan Lingji’s remaining origin, while the Child of Origin Return devoured the loop and the Abyss of Return Great Cocoon neared its breaking point.

• Ying Zheng used Primal Light and his True Self will to burn away his corrupted body and become the Primal Human Emperor.
• The Child of Origin Return formed a Fetal Devouring Maw and bit into the Sentient Minds closed loop as Yan Lingji tried to defend it with the Moon Egg.
• The Moon Egg consumed Yan Lingji’s life force and soul to hatch a Glassy Non-Human, which judged her expendable and prepared to extract her remaining origin.
• Wa Huang’s True Mind Form turned the closed loop’s remnants into a Thought Rainbow Bridge and sent its final torrent of Sentient Minds into Ying Zheng before dissolving.
• Empowered by the Sentient Minds, Ying Zheng raced toward the East Sea to confront the Glassy Non-Human and the Abyss of Return Great Cocoon.

Ying Zheng rescued Yan Lingji and joined forces with the Glassy Non-Human to break the Fetal Devourer Giant Claw. The claw’s destruction enraged the Child of Origin Return, and the being inside the Entropy Fungus Great Cocoon began to emerge.

• Ying Zheng destroyed the Glassy Non-Human’s Moonlight Mist Chains and caught the dying Yan Lingji.
• The Child of Origin Return attacked Ying Zheng and Yan Lingji with a giant claw that devoured the Primal Flame and Sentient Minds.
• The Glassy Non-Human sacrificed itself by striking the claw’s equation core with Glassy Burning Origin Fire.
• Ying Zheng used the opening to sever the giant claw with his Kindling Fire Imperial Sword.
• The Child of Origin Return roared in pain as the Entropy Fungus Great Cocoon shattered, its fetal blood flooded the sea, and its true form began to break free.

The Entropy Emperor descended and branded an Entropy Rune onto Ying Zheng’s Primal Emperor Armor, draining his power and threatening to consume him. Yan Lingji guided the Glass Entropy Ash Runes to disrupt the rune, allowing Ying Zheng to tear it free, but the Entropy Emperor began condensing into its final form while Ying Zheng and Yan Lingji remained gravely weakened.

• The Entropy Emperor emerged from the Abyss of Return Sea Eye and spread an Origin Return Force Field across the primordial world.
• The Entropy Emperor branded an Entropy Rune onto Ying Zheng’s armor, draining its power, the Sentient Minds, and Ying Zheng’s Human Emperor Status.
• Yan Lingji sensed the rune’s Dark Singularity’s connection to the Chaos Moon Ash, and Glass Entropy Ash Runes gathered and branded the cracks in Ying Zheng’s armor.
• Ying Zheng poured his remaining power into the Glass Entropy Ash Runes, which disrupted the Entropy Rune and its Dark Singularity.
• Ying Zheng tore the Entropy Rune from his armor and survived its explosion, though his armor and Primal Flame were badly damaged.
• The Entropy Emperor retracted its tentacles and accelerated its transformation into a more concentrated final form as Ying Zheng held the faintly living Yan Lingji.

Ying Zheng sacrificed his body, armor, and Human Emperor Dao Foundation to fire the World Opening Gun, severely wounding the Entropy Emperor and triggering Wa Huang’s remnant will. Ying Zheng’s faint true spirit and the dying Yan Lingji were left in the path of a destructive blood tide surging from the abyss.

• Ying Zheng burned his remaining power and shaped the Reverse Origin Chaos Energy into the World Opening Gun, pushing Yan Lingji away from the battlefield.
• Ying Zheng merged with the cannon and fired at the Entropy Emperor’s Eye of Ultimate End, cracking it and shattering much of its Origin Return Equation.
• The Primal Key’s remaining power entered the Entropy Emperor’s core and stirred Wa Huang’s protective will, throwing the Entropy Emperor into chaotic internal conflict.
• Ying Zheng’s body vanished, leaving only a dim spark of true Primal spirit to fall toward the Abyss of Return Blood Abyss.
• The Entropy Emperor struck the blood abyss in its frenzy, sending a destructive tide toward Ying Zheng’s spirit and Yan Lingji.

The Entropy Emperor transformed into its Ultimate Entropy Form and unleashed a wave that began erasing the world. Ying Zheng used the Glass Entropy Ash Runes to contain the wave, awakening the Primal Key in the Sky-Mending Stone Fragment and briefly disrupting the Entropy Emperor, while Ying Zheng and Yan Lingji remained near death.

• The Entropy Emperor collapsed into the Blood Abyss Core and emerged as its Ultimate Entropy Form, then spread the Myriad Worlds Origin Return Wave across the East Sea.
• Ying Zheng and Yan Lingji were battered by the wave, and Yan Lingji told Ying Zheng to use the Glass Entropy Ash Runes as a cage rather than armor repairs.
• Ying Zheng drew the Origin Return Wave into the breach in his Imperial Armor, where it collided with the Glass Entropy Ash Fire Lines.
• The Sky-Mending Stone Fragment awakened and revealed that it held a Primal Key capable of influencing the Entropy Stabilization Dark Current sealed by Wa Huang.
• Ying Zheng sent the Primal Key into the Entropy Emperor's Eye of Ultimate End, trapping its Origin Return Equations in a logical dead loop and halting the wave temporarily.

Yan Lingji awakened Zhurong’s bloodline and transformed into the Kindling Fire Witch Venerable, but the Two-Headed Entropy Emperor overwhelmed her. Ying Zheng’s fading true spirit plunged into the deepest blood abyss, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Zhurong’s Origin Fire erupted from Yan Lingji’s heart and devoured the encroaching Abyss of Return blood tide, awakening her witch bloodline.
• Yan Lingji transformed into the Kindling Fire Witch Venerable and formed an Entropy Ash War Spear from the blood tide.
• The Entropy Emperor’s skull split into two heads, one bearing its Origin Return nature and the other carrying Wa Huang’s corrupted imprint.
• The Two-Headed Entropy Emperor shattered Yan Lingji’s spear and suppressed her before she could reach Ying Zheng.
• Ying Zheng’s true spirit abruptly plunged into the deepest blood abyss, drawing the Entropy Emperor’s attention.

The Kindling Fire Witch Venerable was nearly crushed by the Two-Headed Entropy Emperor until a faint awakening from Ying Zheng's true spirit stirred the Wa-Entropy Head's remaining Wa Huang will. Wa Huang's sacrifice opened a rift for the Witch Venerable to descend into the blood abyss and seek Ying Zheng and source fire rebirth.

• Ying Zheng's true spirit sent a faint fluctuation and dragon's roar from the bottom of the Abyss of Return, easing the pressure on the Kindling Fire Witch Venerable and stirring the Entropy Emperor's two heads.
• The Wa-Entropy Head's remaining Wa Huang will resisted the Head of Origin Return, erupting in seven-colored divine light and weakening the Entropy Emperor's suppression.
• Wa Huang's remaining will sent part of its divine light into the Witch Venerable's source fire and opened a Spatial Rift toward the blood abyss.
• The Witch Venerable entered the rift to seek Ying Zheng and source fire rebirth as the Head of Origin Return suppressed the backlash and struck too late.

Yan Lingji found Ying Zheng’s surviving true spirit beside the Primordial Ancestor Dragon’s remains in the Abyss of Return, but the Entropy Emperor’s probing triggered a backlash from ancient Heavenly Dao and Human Dao shackles. The backlash weakened their refuge and drew ancient abyssal shadows, leaving Yan Lingji and Ying Zheng trapped between threats above and around them.

• Yan Lingji descended into the abyss’s absolute darkness and found Ying Zheng’s true spirit sheltered within a cracked Dragon Scale Phantom near the Primordial Ancestor Dragon’s skeleton.
• Yan Lingji entered the fragile Order Domain and connected her origin fire to the Dragon Scale Phantom, but the Entropy Emperor’s sensory tentacle pierced the darkness and began analyzing the remains.
• Yan Lingji tried to burn the tentacle, but it absorbed much of her origin fire as it scanned the Ancestor Dragon’s hidden shackles.
• The tentacle’s probing revealed shackles laid by Hongjun and the Supreme Elder, whose backlash struck the Entropy Emperor and damaged the Order Domain.
• The backlash nearly scattered Ying Zheng’s true spirit and injured Yan Lingji, while awakening Ancient Abyss of Return Shadows that began closing in on them.

The Witch Venerable disrupted the Heavenly Dao Shackles and Human Dao Shackles, redirecting the Ancestor Dragon’s resentful power to confuse the ancient shadows and lure the Entropy Emperor into devouring it. As the immediate siege eased, something stirred within the Ancestor Dragon Skeleton and turned its attention toward the fading Dragon Scale Phantom.

• The Witch Venerable spotted a vulnerable point in the activated shackles and struck it with her blood and source flame, injuring herself as she forced their energy to flow backward.
• The reverse-flowing power of the Ancestor Dragon overwhelmed the ancient shadows, making them vanish, attack one another, or spin aimlessly instead of besieging the Order Domain.
• The Entropy Emperor tentacle greedily absorbed the strange torrent, treating its mixed origins as nourishment and briefly ignoring the shackles.
• The Ancestor Dragon Skeleton’s brow flickered, and something deep in its eye sockets stirred and opened an imperceptible sliver of its eyes.
• A high-ranking sensation of being watched fell upon the Entropy Emperor, the Witch Venerable, and the fading Dragon Scale Phantom.

The Abyssal Eyes shared the Ancestor Dragon’s memories and burden with Ying Zheng, reigniting his true spirit as black-gold flame. The Ancestor Dragon Skeleton then fell silent, the Order Domain vanished, and an enormous Abyss of Return Shadow Venerable formed as deathly stillness descended on Ying Zheng and the exhausted Witch Venerable.

• The Abyssal Eyes fixed their gaze on Ying Zheng and the Witch Venerable, nearly extinguishing Ying Zheng’s true spirit.
• The damaged Dragon Scale Phantom cried out, and the Abyssal Eyes sent Ying Zheng a stream of the Ancestor Dragon’s memories and suffering.
• Ying Zheng’s Human Emperor will ignited, stabilizing his true spirit and covering the Dragon Scale Phantom in black-gold flame.
• The shackle imprints inside the Entropy Emperor’s tentacles contaminated its Origin Return Equation system and threw it into chaos.
• The ancient shadows merged into an enormous Abyss of Return Shadow Venerable as the Abyssal Eyes closed and left a faint dark-gold mark in Ying Zheng’s spirit.
• The Ancestor Dragon Skeleton’s protection vanished, the Order Domain dissipated, and pure deathly stillness crashed down upon Ying Zheng and the Witch Venerable.

Lu Buwei’s Blood Contract activated the Abyss of Return, sending an entropy field toward Qin and threatening all life. Cheng Xi’s Chaos Space and Ying Zheng’s Qin King’s Seal pushed it back around Xianyang, but the Abyss’s core noticed both defenses as Lu Buwei died in the backlash.

• Lu Buwei’s Blood Contract sent a streamer to the Abyss of Return, unleashing deathly stillness that spread toward Xianyang and the Qin Heartland.
• Cheng Xi used copper mirrors, resonant chimes, Warm Stones, and his Chaos Space to weaken the entropy field and protect a limited area.
• Ying Zheng’s Qin King’s Seal erupted with Dark Gold Dragon Radiance and forced the deathly stillness away from Xianyang, restoring life within its protected zone.
• The Ancestor Dragon’s Soul stirred at the Qin King’s Seal’s display, while the Abyss of Return’s core turned its attention toward Qin and Cheng Xi’s Chaos Aura.
• Xing Hun rejoiced at the calamity but discovered it also suppressed his Heavenly Dao Power of Stars, then resumed healing and sought to exploit the crisis.
• Lu Buwei sensed Qin’s resistance and accepted the Blood Contract’s backlash as it consumed his remaining life.
