• Emperor Jin Yu explained that Emperor Solitude and the Ice Peak Legion had used Qingyang Star to reach the Flaming Dragon Domain Realm and that a Black-Clad Emperor was blocking the passage.

• Ji Ning greeted the Supreme God Crystal as his master, and Shen Ye emerged and praised Ji Ning’s progress.

Shen Ye suppressed the emperors and Dominators with his mind power and explained how his Heaven's Will Secret Realm let him project a World of Mind. When the Ice Peak Legion arrived, Emperor Solitude prepared a Sith-made helmet he believed could counter mind power, leaving its ability to withstand Shen Ye's World of Mind in question.

• Shen Ye admitted he had lured the emperors to requisition them, then claimed the power he used against Lord Feixue was less than one-thousandth of his strength.

After Lord Dafeng revealed the Dao-Merging Fire Cloud Flower as the foremost aid, he suspected that a Sith Race Lord had taken control of Solitude and decided to warn the Autarchs.

Hongran brought him to the Eight Origin Domains, where the other Supremes recognized Shen Ye’s strength and agreed to support his plan.

• Shen Ye explained that he wanted Supreme God Crystals to understand how one Dao gave rise to myriad Daos, and Hongran promised to bring him Entropy Bone’s crystal.

• Hongran explained Shen Ye’s plan to fuse with the Chaos Origin, and the Supremes agreed that Shen Ye could use Entropy Bone’s Supreme God Crystal; Erkong even offered his own crystal if needed.

Hongran Supreme brought Shen Ye to the Universe Origin Land to retrieve Entropy Bone Supreme, then introduced him to the captured Sith Race Lord Duobo'e. Shen Ye overpowered Duobo'e and used Dark True Blood on him, beginning an attempt to break the Lord's Dao heart.

• Hongran Supreme led Shen Ye into the Universe Origin Land, where they found Entropy Bone Supreme and retrieved his divine crystal.
• Hongran Supreme's avatar told the other Supremes that Shen Ye was a native of another Chaos World who had learned of the Sith Race and resolved to expel them.

• Duobo'e lunged at Shen Ye, but Shen Ye casually smashed him to the ground and pressed a finger to his glabella, pouring Dark True Blood into him.

Shen Ye experimented on the imprisoned Duobo'e with Dark True Blood and began offering Dark Baptism to visiting cultivators. When Ancestor Fengtong, Emperor Venerable Yuhong, and Nuwa arrived on the Earthfire Continent, Shen Ye approached Nuwa directly.

• Shen Ye injected Duobo'e with Dark True Blood, causing him to become savage and beg for more.
• Shen Ye told Hongran Supreme that the Dark Matter would corrupt Duobo'e's true spirit, and Hongran Supreme left him to continue his research.
• Ancestor Fengtong, Emperor Venerable Yuhong, and Nuwa traveled to the Earthfire Continent to meet Shen Ye and learn about Dark Baptism.
• The group saw Shen Ye beside the frightened Sith Race Lord and learned he was known simply as the Emperor.
• Shen Ye walked past the group and asked Nuwa if she was Nuwa.

• Shen Ye told Nuwa they were fellow townsfolk, and they spoke privately about Fuxi, Shennong, and whether she wished to return home.

• Shen Ye told Venerable Dan she could use Dark Matter to infect others, including Demonic Lifeforms, and said the Dark Baptism would occur once every Chaos Era.
• Two hundred Chaos Eras later, Ji Ning resolved to attempt Dao Fusion despite Dominator Mang Ya and Emperor Jin Yu urging caution.
• Emperor Solitude and Golden Sun Divine Monarch arrived near the Great Mo Eternal Realm, where Golden Sun sought Ji Ning’s Ultimate Sword Dao and Emperor Solitude claimed he had come to protect him.
• Ji Ning’s sword pressure swept across the Great Mo Domain, but after three years his Dao Fusion failed because he still lacked a final trace.
• Shen Ye sensed Ji Ning’s failure and planned to use Ji Ning’s future conflict with the Sith Race to draw out their Controller and plant Dark Matter within him.

After Ji Ning failed his Dao Fusion, Shen Ye summoned him to the Blazing Sun Domain and revealed that another chance might be possible. Shen Ye proposed using Dark Matter to bypass the Sith Race’s Life Oaths and obtain the Method of Undying True Spirit, leaving Ji Ning with a possible path to try Dao Fusion again.

• Shen Ye sent the Blazing Sun Domain Lord to bring Senior Brother Beiming from the Flaming Dragon Domain Realm after his failed Dao Fusion.
• The Golden Sun Divine Monarch attacked Emperor Solitude, claiming to defend Daoist Monarch Beiming, before the Blazing Sun Domain Lord arrived and announced that Master had sent him for Senior Brother Beiming.

• Shen Ye explained that the Sith Race could attempt Dao Fusion multiple times, and Hongran Supreme confirmed that they possessed the Method of Undying True Spirit.
• Shen Ye proposed using Dark Matter to evade the Life Oath and said they would need high-ranking Sith Race members as test subjects to recover the complete method.

Shen Ye and Ji Ning planned to use Ji Ning’s Eternal Ultimate Sword Dao as bait to draw out hidden Sith Race forces and obtain a Sith method. The Sith discovered Ji Ning in their territory and ordered him teleported into an ambush, while dismissing Shen Ye as an ordinary Emperor.

• Ji Ning and Shen Ye traveled through Sith territory, with Ji Ning displaying the Eternal Ultimate Sword Dao against Demonic Lifeforms.
• Bo Wanyue confirmed Ji Ning’s Eternal Ultimate Sword Dao and ordered the Sith to teleport the pair into an ambush, exhaust Ji Ning’s source energy, and kill him.

Shen Ye and Ji Ning were lured into a hidden Sith stronghold, where they overwhelmed Bo Wanyue’s forces and revealed the gap between their strength and the Sith’s. Bo Wanyue summoned Iyeral, who sent a Supreme-level strange life as a new weapon to test Shen Ye’s mind power.

• Shen Ye and Ji Ning were trapped with the Emperors and Hegemons they had rescued when Bo Wanyue’s spacetime formation pulled them into a hidden world.
• At Shen Ye’s urging, Ji Ning unleashed his Sword Dao and slaughtered the Sith defenders, while Shen Ye annihilated their attackers with mind power.

• Bo Wanyue contacted Iyeral and reported that Shen Ye possessed mind power comparable to a Supreme.
• Iyeral revealed that he had created infectious strange lives using a power taken from the Dark Lost One and sent Bo Wanyue a Supreme-level specimen to test against Shen Ye.

Ji Ning and Shen Ye defeated Bo Wanyue’s forces in the Dao Protection Tower and turned a Supreme-level strange lifeform against the Sith Race. Thirty million years later, Shen Ye compiled the Sith Race Controller’s nine methods for Ji Ning to study as he pursued the Method of Undying True Spirit.

• Shen Ye and Ji Ning reached the core of the Dao Protection Tower, where Bo Wanyue unleashed a dragon-turtle-like strange lifeform.
• Shen Ye ordered the creature to catch Bo Wanyue, and it bit him before Shen Ye imprisoned his soul.
• Shen Ye explained that the creature’s Dark Matter came from him and that he had left a backdoor, then summoned Hongran Supreme and Mogu Supreme to clean up and investigate the hidden space.
• Shen Ye told the Supremes to disguise the victory and let Sith Race spies believe Dark Matter could control strange lifeforms; Iyeral later noticed the Dark Matter mark had vanished and continued studying Venerable Dan’s Dark Matter.
• Thirty million years later, Shen Ye gave Ji Ning a jade slip containing nine Sith Race Controller methods, while warning that creating the Method of Undying True Spirit would still be difficult.

Ji Ning studied the Void Undying method while Shen Ye expanded the Heavenly Court across the Myriad Worlds and prepared weapons to oppose darkness. In the Lotus Lantern World, Soul Emperor Tian crushed Chen Xiang’s rebellion, while Shen Ye watched the conflict delay his plans.

• Chen Xiang entered the second stage of battle, and Shen Ye observed that the rebels were delaying the creation of the Heavenly Laws, which he intended to use to suppress darkness and the Heavenly Prison.
