The Dao Lords began harvesting cultivators and their reincarnations across the Light Sea to strengthen their [Other Shore] fragments, while Dao Tianqi and the World Honored One tried to protect souls through the Netherworld.

Chu Sheng killed the World Honored One, reclaimed the [Other Shore] fragment, and restored his Dao Lord status, while [Fixed Number] overwhelmed the other Dao Lords. As Lu Yang activated the [Hundred Lives Book], it reacted to something at the end of False History, and Chu Sheng recognized him before a power beyond the Light Sea erased everything and began another restart.

• Lu Yang activated the [Hundred Lives Book], which reacted hungrily to something at the end of False History; Chu Sheng recognized Lu Yang before a power beyond the Light Sea erased everything.

Lu Yang realized that Chu Sheng had stolen one of his hundred lives by taking a page from the [Hundred Lives Book], and he assessed why Chu Sheng had sealed Si Sui instead of killing him. He resolved to build a new [Other Shore] beyond Chu Sheng’s reach and restarted from the initial Anchor Point.

• Lu Yang discovered that the [Hundred Lives Book] had only 85 pages remaining because Chu Sheng had stolen one of his lives.
• Lu Yang concluded that Chu Sheng had sealed Si Sui because Si Sui’s time-connected seal could return over 129,600 years of cultivation to him if it broke.

• Lu Yang resolved to cultivate beyond the Light Sea and build a new [Other Shore] outside Chu Sheng’s sight.
• Lu Yang selected the initial Anchor Point and sank into the reset Light Sea.

Lu Yang chose to recover a treasure from his previous life and used its power to rebuild his cultivation and establish a new Dao lineage. He perfected a divine statue in the Northern Exorcism Institute, advanced it to Divine Lord, and named his new path the Deification Method.

• Lu Yang resumed his life in the small-fry pond, fought Yu Suzhen in the Joyous Union Hall, then chose Treasure from the Hundred Lives Book.
• Lu Yang resonated with the Heavenly Calendar Number and drew on the Northern Exorcism Institute's power to cultivate the Fengce World-Sustaining True Qi through Qi Refining completion.
• Lu Yang created the Divine Offering and Heaven-Dripping Marrow divine abilities to open the divine statue's eyes and ears.

• Lu Yang completed the divine statue's five senses and mind, advanced it to Divine Lord, and named his Dao lineage the Deification Method.

Lu Yang used [Supreme Dao Assimilation] to design a Deification Method that could rival the Grotto-Heaven Method and rebuilt his cultivation to the Immortal Bridge Realm. As his insight faded, he discovered an ancient estate hidden in the Void Darkness Land: [Ancestral Dragon Estate].

• Lu Yang examined the Divine Lord realm and distinguished between [Response Bodies] and stronger [Reward Bodies].
• Lu Yang planned a Deification Method that used the [Heavenly Calendar Number] to raise Divine Lords' status and required merit, incense offerings, Dao Heart, and credit assessments for advancement.
• Lu Yang imagined becoming a Dao Lord beyond Chu Sheng's sight and defeating him.
• Lu Yang climbed to the summit of the [Northern Exorcism Institute], restored his cultivation to the Immortal Bridge Realm, and concluded that spreading his Dao lineage remained necessary to advance further.
• Lu Yang sensed a light in the Void Darkness Land and saw an ancient estate marked [Ancestral Dragon Estate].

Lu Yang entered the Ancestral Dragon Estate in the Void Darkness and discovered that its empty room had once held something capable of revealing the consequences of his actions. He realized Chu Sheng had used the estate to uncover Dao Tianqi’s Netherworld, then saw a tiny figure waiting in the Void Darkness.

• Lu Yang sent a Response Body to the estate and found its courtyard built entirely from precious Void Stone.
• A mystic voice invited Lu Yang inside and explained that the estate had been prepared for Variants like him to experience the impact they would have on the Light Sea.
• Lu Yang concluded that Chu Sheng had reached the estate before him, taken its treasure, and used it to create False History.
• Lu Yang reasoned that Si Sui had discovered Chu Sheng’s scheme here, triggering the Dao Lord War, and that Chu Sheng had later imprisoned Si Sui in time.
• Lu Yang realized Chu Sheng had used the estate to discover Dao Tianqi’s Netherworld and expose it.
• Lu Yang looked up and saw a tiny figure standing in the Void Darkness and watching him.

Lu Yang offered four Banner Spirits a chance to renew their Dao Paths by joining his Deification Method, but Suo Huan’s chosen path required him to intercept the imagery of [Tribulation]. Suo Huan survived the ordeal, advanced to Divine Lord Middle Stage, and left Lu Yang wondering whether the method could work with the other Great Heavenly Numbers.

• Lu Yang summoned Patriarch Tingyou, True Person Demon-Sweeping, Suo Huan, and Empress Xiao, then offered them four divine abilities and a place in his [Heavenly Palace].
• Suo Huan chose [Dust Tribulation Sea] and cultivated the [Tribulation Sea Crossing Method], which drew him and Lu Yang into the [Sea of Suffering].
• Lu Yang realized that joining [Dust Tribulation Sea] required intercepting the imagery of [Tribulation] and warned Suo Huan that the attempt could kill him.
• Suo Huan chose to endure the tribulations, and after three days he extracted a faint thread of light from [Tribulation].
• Suo Huan awakened as a Divine Lord Middle Stage, and the added imagery strengthened [Dust Tribulation Sea].
• Lu Yang wondered whether he could use the same method with the other four Great Heavenly Numbers.

Lu Yang sought the Heavenly Numbers’ Images and tried to locate [Variable], but his connection to it revealed no whereabouts. Patriarch Tingyou suggested that [Variable] would only appear if Lu Yang’s Heavenly Palace and Deification Method brought meaningful change to the Light Sea, leaving Lu Yang to reconsider what his Dao lineage should build.

• Suo Huan awakened after completing his mission, and Lu Yang helped him up, noting that his Dao Path could continue.
• Empress Xiao chose [Divine Offering], and Lu Yang sensed that [Fortune] lay within the [Heavenly Dao].
• Lu Yang identified possible Images of [Destiny] and the other Heavenly Numbers in Dao Lords’ pieces and the [Five Elements] seal, then decided to avoid acting rashly.
• Lu Yang activated [Fate-Reforming Revolution] but could not locate [Variable], and he suspected that the World Honored One had also failed to summon it.
• Lu Yang asked Patriarch Tingyou for guidance, and Patriarch Tingyou argued that overthrowing the [Other Shore] and Grotto-Heaven Method was not enough without building a new order that changed the Light Sea.

Lu Yang realized that drawing [Variable] into the Real World might require acting during Chu Sheng’s Spirit Transformation Ascension, then arranged for Mu Changsheng to awaken Dao Tianqi. As the World Honored One arrived in the form of Guangming, Lu Yang chose to stay hidden.

• Lu Yang concluded that [Variable] was trapped in a dead-end dilemma and identified Chu Sheng’s Spirit Transformation Ascension, when the Dao Lords would leave the Light Sea, as a possible chance to affect it.
• Lu Yang used the [Out-of-Drama Observer] to arrange for Mu Changsheng to find [Responding King].
• Mu Changsheng entered [Responding King], cleared its trial, and took the [Nascent Light Sea], awakening Dao Tianqi.
• Dao Tianqi and Lu Yang met each other’s gaze through Mu Changsheng, but both avoided revealing themselves because Chu Sheng had deeply infiltrated the Netherworld.
• Lu Yang sensed Guangming entering the Overseas Immortal Alliance and recognized the Buddha Light in his eyes as a sign that the World Honored One had come.

A monk from outside the Immortal Alliance visited the Great Virtue Immortal’s temple and discovered that its teachings enabled cultivators to calculate and improve their chances of reaching True Person. As he offered incense and entered Non-Existent Heaven, he learned that the Ancestral Dragon had already been controlled by Chu Sheng, jolting him into alarm.

• The monk hired a Qi Refining cultivator as a guide and was astonished when the cultivator calculated Karma using the Divination Golden Book.
• The cultivator brought the monk to the Great Virtue Immortal’s temple and explained how its teachings and good deeds helped cultivators gain divine abilities and improve their chances of breakthrough.

• The monk’s Buddha Light surged, and he demanded to know what had happened.

Lu Yang revealed Chu Sheng’s plots to the World Honored One and asked him to help oppose Chu Sheng. After agreeing to conceal Lu Yang’s karma, the World Honored One traced the clues back to Huanyao and wondered whether Huanyao had awakened.

• The World Honored One investigated [Non-Existent Heaven], but a Karmic Net formed and forced him to retreat into a Karmic Scene.
• Lu Yang, disguised as Mu Changsheng, told the World Honored One that Chu Sheng had enslaved the Ancestral Dragon and that True Lord Biluofuguang was its reincarnation.
• Lu Yang recounted Chu Sheng’s plans and the previous life’s events, including the plots involving Danding, Butian Que, the Sword Lord, and Cang Hao.
• The World Honored One agreed to conceal Lu Yang’s karmic ripples as long as Lu Yang did not act conspicuously or reach Great True Lord.
• The World Honored One traced Mu Changsheng’s altered fate and concluded that Huanyao might have awakened.
