The Zerg Empress, Giant Axe Founder, and Qin Mu confronted Qiu Yan Ancestral God and King Zhen Jia over their secret service to the beasts. The two traitors unleashed the beasts’ strange Black Gas and tried to escape, but Giant Axe Founder stopped them with his fifteenth axe strike, leaving them cornered and their remaining methods in question.

• Giant Axe Founder struck the ancient ship with his fifteenth axe technique, sending it spinning back, while he and the Empress remained unharmed.

Qin Mu, the Empress, and Giant Axe Founder defeated and killed Qiu Yan Ancestral God and King Zhen Jia after their World Beast power failed to overcome them. Qin Mu then entered the Dim Land alone to investigate the World Beasts, leaving the Empress and Giant Axe Founder outside to support him.

• Qiu Yan Ancestral God and King Zhen Jia tried to flee, but Qin Mu blocked their escape and knocked Qiu Yan Ancestral God back with a spear strike.

• Qin Mu piloted the ice-crystal fortress into the darkness of the Dim Land while the Empress and Giant Axe Founder remained outside to support him.

Qin Mu’s Swarm explored the Dim Land and established a concealed base in a vast mountain range. After witnessing World Beasts Carl and Pak fight, Qin Mu chose to keep scouting for their lair while awaiting the Original Universe Will’s promised inheritance.

• Qin Mu sent concealed scouting units into asteroid belts and other features as Dominator Hall traveled through the Dim Land.
• After twelve years, Qin Mu hid Dominator Hall inside a vast floating mountain range to use as a base.
• World Beast Carl defeated and devoured the badly wounded Pak, then Teleported away.
• Qin Mu watched Carl and Pak’s battle and judged that his Swarm lacked the Supreme Treasures and Law Comprehension needed to fight World Beasts safely.
• Qin Mu ordered the Swarm to keep exploring and search for the World Beast Lair, while expecting the inheritance promised by the Original Universe Will.

Qin Mu’s Swarm reconnaissance uncovered the Dim Land’s vast population of World Beasts and its disorienting space. A scout then found a World Beast Lair beneath a terrifying void tree, but a World Beast appeared and spotted Qin Mu’s Rock Giant.

• Qin Mu’s Rock Giant entered the distorted space and saw a void tree surrounded by shattered eggshells.
• A two-headed World Beast teleported into the lair and fixed its gaze on Qin Mu’s Rock Giant.

Qin Mu’s scouting body entered the World Beast Mother Nest and encountered a silver-scaled expert who offered him a dangerous inheritance and a chance to travel beyond his Universe Sea. Qin Mu weighed the chance to break free from his limits against the risk of losing every avatar, but had not yet chosen.

• A World Beast discovered Qin Mu’s soulless Rock Giant scout, but Qin Mu used “Donghua” to rush past it and enter the multicolored space.
• Qin Mu saw a silver-scaled expert whose presence made the Swarm Willpower tremble, and the expert revealed that Qin Mu was the first lifeform to enter the World Beast Mother Nest during its birth.
• The expert offered Qin Mu an inheritance with trials that could kill all his avatars, promising access to other Universe Seas and Source Worlds if he survived.
• Qin Mu asked what the opportunity entailed, and the expert said Qin Mu lacked room to grow, resources, opponents, and an inheritance suited to him.
• Qin Mu recognized the offer as a chance to break free from his confined Universe Sea and considered accepting despite the risk of true death.

Qin Mu accepted the dangerous inheritance trial and pushed through a crushing willpower test that strengthened both his will and the Swarm Network. The trial then revealed itself as an endless war in the Hunyuan Space, and Qin Mu prepared to gather his Swarm.

• Qin Mu accepted the silver-scaled expert's trial despite the high chance of death and began climbing the silver staircase through the Void Tree.
• Qin Mu warned Giant Axe Founder and the Empress that he might perish, arranged for the Empress to inherit Duan Donghe's legacy if he died, and entrusted humanity's future to them.
• Qin Mu endured increasingly intense Willpower Impacts that threatened to overwhelm the Swarm Network, then broke through his limit and strengthened the network.
• The silver-scaled expert revealed that Qin Mu's true test would be an endless war in the Hunyuan Space and opened a gate through which Qin Mu could gather his Swarm.
• Qin Mu embraced the coming war and declared that his Swarm was ready for battle.

Qin Mu assembled the Swarm’s elite forces and entered the Gate of Origin to undergo Jin’s trial, which required him to survive. He was sent through Primordial Space into a polluted Source World under attack by a Primordial Life, while Jin and Yuan argued over the risks and purpose of his trial.

• Qin Mu summoned the Swarm’s strongest units and Supreme Treasures, then received a black mark from Jin that would let him return once it was filled with energy.
• Qin Mu entered the Gate of Origin and traveled inside a silver-white egg through Primordial Space, seeing countless Source Worlds pass by.
• Qin Mu’s egg crashed into a green Source World as a Rotten Thousand-Eyed Giant Python attacked and devoured it.
• Jin explained to Yuan that he had sent Qin Mu into the war-torn Source World to push the Swarm’s potential and expose Qin Mu to new worlds and cultivation systems.
• Jin killed the Rotten Thousand-Eyed Giant Python with a burst of Black Gas, while Yuan warned that Qin Mu could die or go insane in the polluted world.

Qin Mu entered a corrupted universe inside the Source World and nearly lost his body and Swarm to its incompatible laws. He adapted the Swarm to the universe and learned that his trial was to purge every lifeform tainted by Primordial Bloodline.

• The Silver Egg carried Qin Mu through the Source World's golden thunder and into a decaying minor universe as two Primordial Experts confirmed the Rotten Thousand-Eyed Giant Python was dead.
• The universe's laws caused Qin Mu and the World Hive Mother to disintegrate, but the black pattern on his wrist eased the universe's rejection.
• Qin Mu used Swarm Soul Power to gather matter and native life, then rapidly bred generations of Swarm adapted to the universe's laws.
• Qin Mu converted the collapsing Primordial Sea into a flesh-and-blood body compatible with the universe, restoring the Swarm and advancing his strength.
• The universe's crazed Cosmic Will cried for help, and the black pattern revealed Qin Mu's trial: purge every lifeform contaminated by Primordial Bloodline.

Qin Mu learned that Primordial Bloodline contamination had driven most life in the Myriad Demon Universe mad, threatening to destroy it and fail his trial. After reaching the Ancient Origin Continent in search of survivors, he found that nearly all its inhabitants were corrupted as well.

• Qin Mu received coordinates to the survivors from the nearly maddened Cosmic Will and began teleporting toward them.
• Qin Mu found a planet where corrupted bull-headed, scaled beings mutated, killed, and devoured one another, then collected the planet to study them.
• Qin Mu examined three survivors’ memories and learned that the universe relied on bloodline cultivation, with Great Powers, Overlords, and Great Emperors at its highest levels.
• Qin Mu suspected the source of the universe’s bloodline had been corrupted and hurried toward the Ancient Origin Continent to find knowledgeable survivors.
• Qin Mu reached the Ancient Origin Continent, concealed his aura, and discovered that nearly all its lifeforms had fallen into madness.

Qin Mu met Chu Tianrui, a surviving prince in the corrupted Myriad Demon Universe, and gathered intelligence, cultivation methods from 21 universes, and treasures to prepare for cleansing the contamination. After ordering Chu Tianrui to warn other survivors, Qin Mu set out for the Imperial Capital as the Cosmic Will neared collapse.

• Chu Tianrui survived the bloodline contamination by hiding in an ancient underground palace and learned that it had spread across the Myriad Demon Universe, driving nearly all bloodline cultivators mad.
• Qin Mu arrived at the palace, asked Chu Tianrui for intelligence and cultivation methods, and refused to leave for another universe, instead declaring that he would cleanse this one.
• Chu Tianrui led Qin Mu to his Library Pavilion, where Qin Mu used thousands of avatars to study records and methods from 21 universes and collected more than a hundred treasures.
• Chu Tianrui described the universe’s strongest experts and the situation on the Ancient Origin Continent, while Qin Mu began analyzing the gathered knowledge to prepare the Swarm.
• Qin Mu told Chu Tianrui to warn survivors to hide, then headed with him toward the Imperial Capital to begin the cleansing.

Qin Mu studied twenty-one cultivation systems while flying toward the Imperial Capital, identifying several that could rapidly transform and strengthen the Swarm. He discovered that researching Corrupted Beings had contaminated the Swarm’s memories, but resolved to resist it and destroy the infected before they evolved into Void True Gods.

• Qin Mu reviewed twenty-one universes’ cultivation systems and found that the Bloodline, Witch, and Strongest Warrior systems could reach the Divine King Realm.
• Qin Mu realized the Swarm could cultivate multiple systems at once, using its many units and different lifeforms to pursue paths that ordinary cultivators could not combine.
• Qin Mu discovered that studying weak Corrupted Beings had spread the Rotten Thousand-Eyed Giant Python’s memory contamination throughout the Swarm Network.
• Qin Mu declared that he would resist the contamination and vowed to dissect the giant python if he became powerful enough.
• Qin Mu recognized that the Corrupted Beings were evolving rapidly and decided the Swarm had to eliminate them before they produced large numbers of Void True Gods.
• Qin Mu arrived at the Imperial Capital of the Ancient Origin Continent, where the Chu Tian Family’s resources and treasures could strengthen the Swarm.

Qin Mu and Chu Tianrui entered the corrupted Imperial Capital so Qin Mu could reach its Spirit of the Formation and seize control of the city’s formations and teleportation network. After Qin Mu instantly killed two Universe Lords, the city’s remaining Corrupted Beings swarmed toward him, and he prepared to fight at the Imperial Lord’s Mansion.

• Qin Mu asked Chu Tianrui how they could infiltrate the Imperial Capital and take control of its formations, and Chu Tianrui explained that they would need to reach the Imperial Lord’s Mansion and refine its Spirit of the Formation.
• Qin Mu stored part of the Swarm’s forces in a Spatial Treasure, promised to protect Chu Tianrui, and persuaded him to lead the way into the city.
• Chu Tianrui used his token to open the city formation, and he and Qin Mu entered through the deserted gates and teleported to a ruined palace.
• Two corrupted Universe Lords attacked Qin Mu, who killed them instantly with Soul Power and collected their bodies.
• Qin Mu and Chu Tianrui flew toward the Imperial Lord’s Mansion as Corrupted Beings across the city sensed them and rushed to attack.
• Qin Mu arrived at the mansion, abandoned his plan to infiltrate quietly, and prepared to kill the Corrupted Beings surrounding him.

Qin Mu unleashed the Primordial Sea against the Corrupted Beings attacking the Chu Tian Family’s Imperial Capital, and his Swarm initially overwhelmed them. As Qin Mu and Chu Tianrui sought help from the Imperial Lord’s Mansion’s Spirit of the Formation, powerful Overlords turned the battle around.

• Qin Mu flooded the Imperial Capital with the Primordial Sea, trapping Corrupted Beings as the Swarm’s Larva Nest Tyrants and Innate Beast Gods attacked them.
• The Swarm’s fighters healed in the bloodwater and suppressed many Corrupted Being Overlords, impressing Chu Tianrui.
• Qin Mu ordered Chu Tianrui to take him to the Imperial Lord’s Mansion and meet the Spirit of the Formation, Nanyang.
• Nanyang reported that the Chu Tian Family had gone mad and been teleported out of the city, then barred Qin Mu from entering until Chu Tianrui registered him as a retainer.
• Chu Tianrui demanded control of the Imperial Capital’s formations, but Nanyang refused because he lacked the authority.
• Master Sanzang unleashed a devastating attack that killed a Wind Beast God, and another Overlord released a freezing aura.

Qin Mu used the Swarm to overwhelm the Corrupted Beings and infiltrate the Imperial Capital’s formation core. After turning Nanyang, the Spirit of the Formation, into a Swarm ally, he activated the city’s defenses and ordered the Swarm to arm itself and prepare to expand outward.

• Master Sanzang and the other Corrupted Being Overlords fought the Swarm, but its forces suppressed them and killed one of the weaker Overlords.
• Qin Mu entered the Imperial Lord’s Mansion with Chu Tianrui and reached the formation core, where he deployed the Hun Yuan Body to invade Nanyang, the Spirit of the Formation.
• Qin Mu’s Soul Power and will overwhelmed Nanyang, who became loyal to the Swarm and activated the Imperial Capital’s formations.
• The city’s multicolored swords pierced Master Sanzang and eliminated the enemy markers throughout the Imperial Capital.
• Qin Mu ordered Nanyang to open the armories and treasure vaults, gather resources and inheritances, strengthen the Swarm, and prepare the teleportation formations for outward expansion.

Qin Mu ordered the Swarm to purge the Myriad Demon Universe of Corrupted Beings and protect the surviving lives, hoping to restore the Cosmic Will and charge the Destruction Mark. As the purge spread, the Swarm discovered that the Corrupted Beings were multiplying faster than expected and that the Rotten Nest held Void True Gods and was gathering forces, setting up a hard battle.

• Qin Mu learned that the Destruction Mark had charged only 0.01% after he killed eighteen True Gods and many other Corrupted Beings, then asked Chu Tianrui where survivors could be found.
• Chu Tianrui directed Qin Mu toward secret realms and agreed to help the Swarm gather survivors, while Qin Mu gave him permission to choose treasures from the Imperial Capital treasury.
• Qin Mu mobilized the Swarm to collect the Imperial Capital's weapons, resources, and cultivation knowledge, and used Cosmic Crystals to produce vast numbers of units for the purge.
• The Swarm deployed through teleportation formations across the universe, killing Corrupted Beings and protecting survivors as the Cosmic Will began to recover.
• Qin Mu learned that the Corrupted Beings were far more numerous than recorded and were transforming rapidly, while the Rotten Nest contained Void True Gods and was gathering powerhouses.

Qin Mu discovered that Emperor Qing Ye was guarding a Rotten Nest that might transform the Cosmic Will and create an invincible Corrupted Being, so he prepared to strengthen the Swarm before attacking. He learned that the other Void True Gods might be in the Myriad Demon Cave, then gained the Cosmic Will’s help to rapidly comprehend the universe’s laws.

• Qin Mu learned that the Qing Ye Family’s Starry Sky Treasure Tree had become a Rotten Nest guarded by the deeply corrupted Emperor Qing Ye, and he suspected it was a Mother Ancestor altar.
• Qin Mu concluded that the nest might transform or replace the Cosmic Will, but held back from attacking while the Swarm mastered the secret treasures it had seized.
• Qin Mu asked Chu Tianrui where Emperor Chu Tian had gone, and Chu Tianrui recalled that Emperor Chu Tian and Emperor Jian Shui had likely entered the Myriad Demon Cave.
• Qin Mu contacted the Cosmic Will, which showed him Emperor Qing Ye and two other figures entering the Myriad Demon Cave, though only Emperor Qing Ye had returned.
• Qin Mu began practicing the Cosmic Emissary System with the Cosmic Will’s assistance, and the Swarm immersed itself in the laws displayed before it.

With the Cosmic Will's help, Qin Mu combined the Swarm's research with multiple cultivation systems to improve its laws, genes, bodies, and treasure forging. As modified Swarm Units approached the Qing Ye Family's territory, Qin Mu prepared to test the strength of Emperor Qing Ye's Rotten Nest.

• Qin Mu broke through the barrier to ninth-order secret techniques, raising the Swarm's Law Comprehension.
• Qin Mu studied Divine King bloodlines and Corrupted Beings using the Witch system and the Myriad Spirits Atlas, finding solutions that could help the Swarm exceed a Gene Multiplier of thirty thousand.
• Qin Mu modified a Larva Nest Tyrant through the Strongest Warrior System, using the Swarm's computing power to control its particles and considering secondary brains for units beyond the Wisdom Sea's range.
• Qin Mu planned to combine the Divine Weapon System with the Duan Donghe Inheritance so the Swarm could forge and nurture divine weapons, including the nine Molten Demon Gods.
• Modified Swarm Units advanced into the Qing Ye Family's territory to investigate the strength of Emperor Qing Ye's Rotten Nest.

Qin Mu led the Swarm to scout the Rotten Nest and ordered an assault, but the nest’s powerful formations blocked their combined attacks. As the Swarm battled the Corrupted Beings, the nest produced a Void True God, setting the stage for a fight with the War Skull Beast.

• Qin Mu led the Swarm toward the Rotten Nest and ordered its forces to attack if the defenders seemed manageable or seek another way to destroy the nest if they were too powerful.
• The Swarm formed a War Skull Beast from ten billion units and unleashed combined attacks on the Rotten Nest.
• The Rotten Nest activated vast formations that absorbed the Swarm’s bombardment, and the Corrupted Beings charged into battle.
• The Swarm fought the Corrupted Beings, losing hundreds of millions of units as the War Skull Beast killed several True God-level enemies.
• The Rotten Nest opened and birthed an Octopus-like Void True God, which unleashed a corrupting mental assault on the War Skull Beast.

Qin Mu led the Swarm in a desperate battle against the Myriad Demon Universe’s powerful Corrupted Beings, discovering that the conflict had become a war of attrition. He committed the Swarm’s reinforcements and specialized forces to the fight, confident that the Swarm could evolve through slaughter.

• Qin Mu controlled the War Skull Beast as it clashed with the Thousand-Eyed Demon Octopus, enduring its corrosive mist, soul attacks, and crushing tentacles.
• Qin Mu ordered the Swarm to hold the line while powerful Corrupted Beings and True Gods overwhelmed its elite forces across the battlefield.
• Qin Mu realized that the Swarm’s basic units were inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, turning the battle into a war of attrition despite the Swarm’s disadvantage in high-level strength.
• Qin Mu deployed the Swarm Second Fleet and Third Fleet, released the Primordial Sea, War Ancient Trees, and Tear Bug Swarm, and ordered the Swarm to lay Void Creep.
• Qin Mu urged the Swarm to slaughter and evolve as it absorbed power from the Myriad Demon Universe’s cultivation systems.
