After the Star Sea Alliance won the battle at the Rock Defense Line, Xuan Nü and the surviving leaders assessed their heavy losses and received a warning about dying planets in the Barren Star Domain. Xuan Nü dispatched a reconnaissance ship to investigate while placing Li Wuyang on standby.

Li Wuyang and the astrologers aboard the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat witnessed three stars in the Barren Star Domain sacrificed and destroyed by a mysterious force. Xuan Nü identified the altar as resembling the legendary Myriad Stars Altar, and Li Wuyang hurried to the Cardinal Hall to help decide how to respond.

• The Star-eyed Elder and Tianjizi detected an unnatural force draining the life and stellar origins of three stars, while Li Wuyang sensed a ritualistic deathly energy.
• The Blood-Guiding Compass pointed toward the Barren Star Domain, confirming that a vast sacrifice was underway.
• The three stars collapsed and exploded into dark-red stardust as their life force and stellar origins were siphoned away.
• Tianjizi suffered a powerful backlash while trying to identify the sacrifice's source, and Li Wuyang saw a phantom altar emerge among the stellar remains.
• Li Wuyang reported the events to Xuan Nü, who identified the altar as resembling the Myriad Stars Altar and ordered him to the Cardinal Hall without acting rashly.

After three Green Source Stars were drained dry, Xuan Nü ordered the Star Sea Alliance to investigate The Finality Council’s star sacrifice and search for the appearing key. Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva then reported that three ancient Buddha Sarira Stars were being drained in the Silent Star Belt, and Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang rushed to intervene.

• Xuan Nü told Li Wuyang to extend his Chaos Domain and watch for signs connected to The Finality Council and the key.
• Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva alerted Li Wuyang that three ancient Buddha Sarira Stars in the Silent Star Belt were being drained, and Xuan Nü took Li Wuyang there through a tear in the void.

Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang found three Sarira Stars drained of life by a ritualistic deathly force, while Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva discovered a faint resisting Buddha light within Mount Meru Sarira Star. They shielded her as she began a dangerous rite to use that light to trace the distant source of the sacrifice.

• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang emerged into a star belt where three Sarira Stars and their inhabitants had been drained of life.
• Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva identified the deathly force as a ritual that harvested lives, faith, and the stars’ origins.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang failed to trace the source remotely, and Li Wuyang severed a probing connection when a hostile consciousness invaded his domain.
• Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva sensed a faint will resisting the sacrifice within Mount Meru Sarira Star and proposed using it as a beacon.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang formed protective domains around Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva as she began chanting to ignite the star’s remaining Buddha light.

Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva burned her Origin Buddha Essence to awaken a spark within the silent Mount Meru Sarira Star, allowing Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang to trace the energy to a powerful living altar. The three escaped its backlash with the enemy’s location identified, but Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva was gravely injured and they feared another star sacrifice was imminent.

• Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva chanted the Lamp-Lighting Ancient Buddha's Enlightenment Incantation while burning her Origin Buddha Essence, as Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang protected her with their domains.
• A golden light awakened inside the Mount Meru Sarira Star and revealed an energy trail, which Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang traced to an enormous altar made of twisted Starbones and vengeful-soul runes.
• The will behind the altar struck back along the trail, injuring Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva, Xuan Nü, and Li Wuyang and nearly collapsing their domains.
• Xuan Nü gathered the injured pair and fled through the void, escaping the pursuing force after several jumps.
• Xuan Nü identified the altar as a living sacrificial construct belonging to The Finality Council, and Li Wuyang urged them to warn the immortal vessel about another imminent star sacrifice.

Xuan Nü and the alliance learned that the Finality Council’s Living Altar might summon ancient beings capable of ending the era, so they decided to strike its hidden main altar before the next star sacrifice. The Barrier-Breaking Expeditionary Force began preparing to travel to the Eye of the Returning Void, while Li Wuyang resolved to refine the Chaos Origin Core before they departed.

• Wenzai Dao, Qingxuzi, and Queen Elara connected the Living Altar to ancient world-devouring beings and the Epoch Reapers.
• Xuan Nü explained that the Finality Council’s main altar lay in the Eye of the Returning Void and called for an expedition to destroy it.

• Xuan Nü formed the Barrier-Breaking Expeditionary Force, appointed its leaders, and assigned preparations to the alliance.
• Li Wuyang decided to refine the Chaos Origin Core and raise his strength before the expedition.

Li Wuyang entered the Chaos Ancestral Vein Secret Realm to refine the Chaos Origin Core, stabilize his cultivation, and comprehend its laws while Xuan Nü guarded him. As he endured the Origin Core’s assaults on his soul and Dao heart, his transformation continued, with the Finality Council’s next attack looming.

• Xuan Nü opened the Chaos Ancestral Vein Secret Realm and told Li Wuyang to refine the Origin Core while she handled matters outside.

• Li Wuyang probed the Origin Core’s primordial sea of Chaos and began absorbing compatible laws into his Dao embryo and soul.
• Xuan Nü remained outside the secret realm, guarding Li Wuyang and sensing his aura change as he reached a critical stage of transformation.

Li Wuyang mastered two supreme divine abilities and fused them into a new power while cultivating in the Chaos Ancestral Vein Secret Realm. Xuan Nü warned him that the Finality Council had attacked the Reincarnation Ancient Land, and he rushed out to respond.

• Li Wuyang comprehended the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword and Nirvana World Creation Light from the Sixth Heavenly Book’s Dao diagrams.
• Li Wuyang fused the two opposing abilities into a new divine ability called the Light of Heaven Opening and World Creation.
• Li Wuyang stabilized his late-stage Great Luo cultivation and neared the peak.
• The Chaos Ancestral Vein Secret Realm shook as something struck its barrier from outside.
• Xuan Nü told Li Wuyang that the Finality Council had targeted the Primordial Stone Coffin with the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array.
• Li Wuyang left the Secret Realm to confront the attack.

After emerging from secluded cultivation, Li Wuyang learned that the Finality Council was preparing to destroy the Primordial Stone Coffin and the surrounding starfields with the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array. With less than an hour before the attack, he and Xuan Nü began a desperate raid to stop it.

• Li Wuyang emerged from the Chaos Ancestral Vein Secret Realm with his cultivation stabilized at the late-stage Great Luo realm and his Chaos Nirvana Dao greatly advanced.
• Li Wuyang and Xuan Nü saw the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array forming over the Reincarnation Ancient Land, aimed at the Primordial Stone Coffin.

• Xuan Nü ordered Ling Xiao Sword Master and Qingxuzi to lead the headquarters' elite against the fleet.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang entered a starlight passage to raid the blockade and destroy the formation before it fired.

Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang battled through The Finality Council’s Capital Fleet and broke through its interception with help from arriving alliance reinforcements. They reached the Reincarnation Ancient Land with less than a quarter-hour before the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array’s destruction countdown ended.

• The Finality Council’s Capital Fleet ambushed Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang with death rays, soul-stripping attacks, and suicide ships.
• Xuan Nü used the Lotus Platform of World Purification to withstand the fleet’s strongest attacks while Li Wuyang’s Chaos Nirvana Domain cleared and countered the rest.
• Li Wuyang forged a path through the formation as Xuan Nü covered him, and together they tore open a gap in the fleet’s defenses.
• The Ling Xiao Sword Master and Qingxuzi arrived with the Tianshu Sword Sect and Yuxu Realm cultivators, attacking the fleet’s flanks and pinning down enemy ships.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang escaped the encirclement and reached the Reincarnation Ancient Land as the array’s countdown neared its end.

Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang fought the Shadow Chancellor, the Flesh and Blood High Priest, and the Bone Reaper to reach the core of the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array before it destroyed the Primordial Stone Coffin. Li Wuyang detonated a compressed mass of Chaos energy to break through the blockade, and they charged toward the array eye.

• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang entered the Reincarnation Ancient Land and saw the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array preparing to fire on the Primordial Stone Coffin.
• Xuan Nü identified the array eye as their target, but the Shadow Chancellor, the Flesh and Blood High Priest, and the Bone Reaper blocked their way.
• Li Wuyang and Xuan Nü fought the three defenders, with Xuan Nü purifying the High Priest’s attacks and Li Wuyang resisting the Shadow Chancellor and Bone Reaper.
• Li Wuyang compressed his Chaos Nirvana power and primordial Chaos Qi into an unstable core, then detonated it inside the Shadow Chancellor’s dark domain.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang seized the opening and rushed past the defenders toward the array eye.

Li Wuyang and Xuan Nü attacked the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array's core, but their combined strike only cracked it and triggered a dangerous backlash. Xuan Nü sacrificed her soul and Dao Fruit to grievously damage the core, leaving Li Wuyang amid the fading Annihilation Dao Rhyme.

• Li Wuyang and Xuan Nü combined their strongest attacks against the array-core star nucleus, cracking its barrier and briefly disrupting the array.
• The core began gathering the death ray even faster as the Shadow Chancellor, the Flesh and Blood High Priest, and Bone Reaper closed in on them.

• Xuan Nü transformed into a chaos-colored lotus and struck the star nucleus, grievously damaging it and nearly dispersing the death ray.
• Xuan Nü's form and spirit were annihilated, leaving her Annihilation Dao Rhyme flowing through the void.

After Xuan Nü sacrificed herself to damage the formation core, Li Wuyang unleashed a more destructive form of Chaos and Nirvana power and turned against the Finality Council's remaining fighters. He defeated two of its three great experts and grievously wounded the Shadow Chancellor, then fixed his attention on the damaged formation-core star nucleus.

• Xuan Nü's sacrifice awakened Li Wuyang's grief and fury, driving his Chaos Nirvana Domain into a deeper and more dangerous state.
• Li Wuyang used Chaos to devour the Flesh and Blood High Priest's soul tentacles and Nirvana Fire to annihilate the Bone Reaper.
• The Shadow Chancellor attacked Li Wuyang with Spears of Existence Negation, but Li Wuyang fused Chaos and Nirvana to create a blade that broke through the attack and wounded him grievously.
• The Nirvana Fire destroyed the Bone Reaper, while the chaos vortex caught and devoured the Flesh and Blood High Priest.
• Li Wuyang suffered severe backlash as his Dao embryo's cracks widened, but he turned toward the damaged formation-core star nucleus as his final target.

The Primordial Stone Coffin awakened and revealed a gateway to the Great Dao of Reincarnation, pulling Li Wuyang inside before he could strike the array core. The Myriad Stars Annihilation Array then collapsed, unleashing an energy storm across the Reincarnation Ancient Land, while Li Wuyang’s fate remained unknown.

• Li Wuyang gathered his remaining strength for a final attack on the cracked array-core star nucleus.
• The Primordial Stone Coffin awakened, its lid becoming a gateway filled with scenes of creation, destruction, and reincarnation.
• The coffin’s suction pulled Li Wuyang and his unlaunched attack into the chaotic gateway.
• The damaged Myriad Stars Annihilation Array collapsed, and its unrestrained death ray swept across the Reincarnation Ancient Land.

Li Wuyang entered the Primordial Stone Coffin and discovered its Reincarnation Pure Land, where he found Xuan Nü’s surviving origin imprint. After learning that the Finality Council sought the Source of Reincarnation, he began cultivating to master the coffin and stop them.

• Li Wuyang entered the Primordial Stone Coffin and found a boundless realm filled with the Dao Rhyme of reincarnation.

• Xuan Nü told Li Wuyang that the coffin held a Reincarnation Pure Land and that she had survived as an origin imprint.
• Xuan Nü revealed that the Finality Council planned to use the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array to seize the Source of Reincarnation.
• Li Wuyang began meditating on the Reincarnation Dao Principles to pass the coffin’s trial and gain control of it.

Li Wuyang comprehended the Reincarnation Dao Principles, healing his Dao Embryo and deepening his understanding of the Chaos Heaven Opening Creation Light. After sensing the ruined Reincarnation Ancient Land and the lingering danger beyond the Primordial Stone Coffin, he opened a gate and prepared to leave.

• Li Wuyang perceived the cycles of stars, life, and civilizations and understood Reincarnation as the law governing change.
• The Reincarnation Dao Rhyme transformed his Chaos Nirvana Dao Embryo, healed its cracks, and strengthened his cultivation and understanding of the Great Dao.
• Li Wuyang realized that the Chaos Heaven Opening Creation Light should embody both creation and the Reincarnation of life and death.
• He touched the halo of Reincarnation Dao Principles, received more knowledge, and formed a connection with the Primordial Stone Coffin.
• Li Wuyang sensed that the Myriad Stars Annihilation Array had collapsed, the Reincarnation Ancient Land was in ruins, and The Finality Council's fleet had withdrawn, though danger remained.
• Li Wuyang opened a gate of light and stepped toward the shattered starry sky after glancing toward Xuan Nü's remnant consciousness.

Li Wuyang returned from the Reincarnation Ancient Land to find the Star Sea in greater turmoil, with the Finality Council launching Star Sacrifice rituals across the region. He reached the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat and prepared to meet the elders to plan a response.

• Li Wuyang found a massive Spatial Collapse where the floating stone coffin had been and sensed unusual chaos throughout the Star Sea.
• Li Wuyang traveled toward Alliance territory, passing ruined battlefields and stars drained of life, and wondered whether the Finality Council's Star Sacrifices continued.

• The inspector told Li Wuyang that the Finality Council had launched dozens of Star Sacrifice rituals and was secretly gathering forces to attack the Alliance's core.
• Li Wuyang agreed to meet the elders and help formulate an immediate response.

Li Wuyang returned to the alliance's Cardinal Hall and took command as the Finality Council's attacks weakened the starsea. A secret report revealed that the Council was building a Supermassive Space Gate to invade the alliance's heartland, leaving Li Wuyang preparing for an urgent war and considering the Primordial Stone Coffin and Xuan Nü's remnant as possible keys to victory.

• Li Wuyang returned to the Cardinal Hall, where the alliance's elders urged him to take command amid worsening attacks and the presumed fall of Xuan Nü.
• Li Wuyang reviewed reports that the Finality Council was using repeated small-scale star sacrifices to weaken the starsea and conceal its Capital Fleet's movements.
• An infiltrator reported that the Finality Council was assembling a massive fleet in the Abyssal Starfield of Annihilation and using sacrifice energy to build a Supermassive Space Gate into the alliance's heartland.
• Li Wuyang ordered the alliance to activate its highest-level wartime plan, redirect resources to the war, and find a way to stop the Space Gate.
• After the meeting, Li Wuyang resolved to face the coming battle and considered the Primordial Stone Coffin and Xuan Nü's lingering remnant possible means to turn the tide.
