• Madam Shi summoned a maid whose twelve-colored Golden Core Dao Fruit proved capable of resisting the darkness, confirming their strategy.
• Chu Qing and Madam Shi descended through the trenches and found a gigantic Green Hand that claimed it had crossed history under the Dark Covenant to kill everyone who cultivated the Dao Fruit system.

• Chu Qing ordered Madam Shi to summon the maids cultivating Golden Core Dao Fruits, and groups of maids arrived to suppress the hand, though they struggled to hold it back.
• Chu Qing decided to teleport outsiders to the battlefield, reasoning that they could harm the Green Hand just as it had brought danger to them.

Chu Qing coordinated the extraordinary beings’ exotic treasures and Golden Core Dao Fruits to suppress the enormous Green Hand. As the Green Hand continued to threaten them, he ordered the Top Experts to forge his divine ability exotic treasure and imitate the mysterious chains to help trap it.

• After several days of steady attacks, the Green Hand stopped struggling and warned that cultivating Dao Fruits would make darkness destroy them faster.
• Chu Qing and the others dismissed the Green Hand's warning and said they cared only about their own survival, prompting the Green Hand to renew its struggle and vow to save them.

After the Green Hand was sealed, Chu Qing argued that its master would eventually attack and that everyone beneath the starry sky had to unite to face it. The aliens agreed to prepare for the coming war, while Chu Qing planned to settle the Dao Lineage Dispute and gather all available strength.

• The Green Hand lost its ability to struggle and was sealed by extraordinary treasures, but Madam Shi worried that it would revive.
• Chu Qing proposed weakening the hand with Golden Altar Dao Fruits, finding its true body, and attacking it before it brought darkness to them.
• Madam Shi called for humanity and the aliens to unite and asked them to help settle the Dao Lineage Dispute so everyone could cultivate the Golden Altar Realm.

• Some sects formed an alliance to resist, but teleportation beams delivered realm-defying prodigies who ordered them to submit under Great Lord Qing’s command.

Chu Qing’s forces crushed the sects that had allied against him and compelled realm martial artists to cultivate Golden Altars, while the Harvesters lost their followers and began lifting their curses.

• The Dao Lineage Dispute and the purge of the Harvesters began as their remaining Realm Ancestors proved too powerful for them to challenge.

Several hundred Harvesters attacked a continent of Golden Core cultivators, hoping to draw out and kill Mingyue, but she summoned a torrent of Golden Cores that crushed nearly all of them.

• The Harvester emerged from the teleportation pillar and went numb at the sight before him.

A Harvester discovered that darkness sealed off the human world’s oceans, trapping those who tried to flee. As Harvesters sought refuge in the forbidden zones, the Pioneer alliance accused the zones of creating the darkness, and their Kings were blamed for a contingency none of them recognized.

• A Harvester tried to escape the darkness surrounding the Endless Sea, but after hours of running and failing to break what he thought was Chu Qing’s illusion, he learned that the darkness covered the entire human world.
• Harvesters who found no way out decided to seek refuge in the forbidden zones, believing them safer than Chu Qing and the darkness.
• Other Harvesters informed the oldest Pioneers about the darkness, and an ancient Pioneer accused a giant of the forbidden zones of planning to devour the human world.
• The giant denied creating the darkness, but the Pioneer’s image of it looked like the forbidden zones, prompting the giant to suspect the Kings had acted without their knowledge.
• The giant contacted the Kings, who denied arranging any contingency, then saw the image and was left dumbfounded.

The Kings struggled to answer the Reapers’ accusation that a Forbidden Zone technique had shrouded the human world, until one King identified the likely culprit as the Nirvana Path. They learned that the Nirvana Path served Chaos and might force them to ally with Heaven or abandon the territory.

• The giant told This King that the Reapers threatened to break their alliance unless the Kings produced evidence refuting the apparent Forbidden Zone technique.

• The King explained that the Nirvana Path sought to bring all things into nirvana and had submitted to Chaos.
• The King warned that if the Nirvana Path was responsible, they would have to ally with Heaven or abandon the territory.

• At Stone Ridge Mountain, Chu Qing watched a star go dark and wondered whether the darkness could swallow the sun.

The Forbidden Zone Kings betrayed Heaven by suppressing its heart and teleporting it into the darkness, provoking Heaven to unleash its organs and forces against the invasion. As Heaven’s rampage pushed into the darkness, Ominous figures appeared there.

• Decayed, red-eyed figures and chained dead beings emerged from the darkness, revealing themselves as Ominous.

Heaven fled the darkness after encountering a strange little brat who could live in Nirvana and play with the Ominous. In Qingzhou, Golden Cores replaced the vanished sun briefly, and Madam Jin worried that people needed a lasting replacement for Heaven’s sun and moon.

• Heaven’s organs fought the Ominous, then fled after seeing lingering thoughts with Golden Core Dao Fruits and a little brat in the darkness.
• The little brat chased Heaven, seized a red-haired Ominous, and played with it by pounding it with his Golden Core.
• The forbidden-zone Kings praised the King who had sent his thoughts into the darkness for forcing Heaven to confront it, while Nirvana power secretly infected his thoughts.
• Bright Moon and others raised their Golden Cores to light Qingzhou after the sun vanished.
• The sun returned, and Madam Jin worried that the world needed to create a replacement sun and moon.

Chu Qing investigated when the sun and moon first became abnormal and gathered allies to search ancient records. He then asked Madam Shi to teleport him to the Bi Luo Sect to obtain more materials himself.

• Chu Qing questioned Madam Jin, Madam Shi, and Nangong about the original sun and moon, and Nangong said the Yellow Dao Twelve Palaces had been founded on them at least fifty eras ago.

• Chu Qing asked the Thousand Eyes Alliance to send its records about the Yellow Dao Twelve Palaces and directed the Square Inch Gathering to search their organizations' archives for sun and moon abnormalities.
• Bi Luo offered to return to the Bi Luo Sect for records, but Chu Qing said he would go himself; Bi Luo admitted that she and Chu Qing were together.
• Chu Qing warned that Heaven might flee with his eyes as darkness spread, then asked Madam Shi to teleport him to the Bi Luo Sect's coordinates.
