Chu Sheng sensed that Cang Hao had broken free of Sword Lord’s Emotion Threads and hoped to keep the two Dao Lords locked in conflict. As Sword Lord and Lu Yang fought, Lu Yang weakened her status and faced her desperate strike with a Great Dao of his own.

Si Sui used the [Heavenly Dao] to complete the [Heavenly Palace], raising Lu Yang to the station of a Dao Lord. Lu Yang realized that he had only temporarily occupied the position and that true advancement required preserving the self.

• Lu Yang worried that Cang Hao’s new path made him unreliable except in the fight against Chu Sheng.

• Lu Yang experienced the world as an illusion and felt a powerful desire to transcend rather than fall from his new station.
• Si Sui explained that a true Dao Lord must preserve the self, and Lu Yang saw that the [Hundred Lives Book] had not recognized his rise as a breakthrough.

After becoming a Dao Lord, Lu Yang erased the ten years spent in his breakthrough and gained control over order and cultivation throughout [Wild Continent]. He resisted the urge to eliminate Si Sui, who urged him to remain true to the [I] Dao.

• Lu Yang repaired [Heavenly Calendar Number] and rewound [Wild Continent] so his ten-year breakthrough took only an instant.
• The World Honored One sensed Lu Yang's manipulation of time and hoped that [Heavenly Palace]'s completion might help him recover his cultivation.
• Lu Yang absorbed the insights and cultivation of cultivators who had switched to the Deification Method, recognizing that their progress strengthened him through [Order].

• Si Sui warned Lu Yang not to follow the paths of Nian Yao and Cang Hao, recalling how they and others had changed over time and urging him, “Fellow Daoist, do not change.”

Lu Yang discovered that the missing page of the [Hundred Lives Book] was hidden in Wild Continent’s Greater Yang and restrained the book from taking it. In the Light Sea, Chu Sheng sensed the supreme power’s return and began suspecting Lu Yang possessed it.

• Lu Yang realized Si Sui planned to restore the Netherworld and join forces with him and Dao Tianqi against Chu Sheng, then began mastering his new power.
• Lu Yang found the missing [Hundred Lives Book] page at the core of Wild Continent’s Greater Yang and stopped the book from seizing it, fearing the continent would collapse and Chu Sheng would notice.
• The [Divine Fortune Book of Fate] reacted, and Chu Sheng called out to the supreme power but received no response.
• Chu Sheng calculated that the power had another vessel, concluded a cultivator had obtained it, and identified Lu Yang as his prime suspect.

Chu Sheng discovered that [Variable] had given him a chance to preserve what he knew and prepare for Lu Yang’s repeated resets, but he realized it signaled a fatal danger ahead. Meanwhile, Lu Yang left the Wild Continent with Si Sui and tested the power he had gained as a temporary Dao Lord.

• Chu Sheng recalled his failed attempts to repair the [Divine Fortune Book of Fate] and realized the supreme power had likely passed into a new vessel connected to Lu Yang.
• Chu Sheng concluded that he could not seize the power directly and needed both to exhaust its uses and retain his knowledge after starting over.
• [Variable] appeared to Chu Sheng, restoring his condition to Nascent Soul, the first layer of the [Other Shore], and warning him of an imminent fatal predicament.
• Lu Yang left the Wild Continent and walked through Void Darkness with Si Sui, who praised his foundation but warned that Huanyao's Wisdom Light might not help him elevate his essence.
• Lu Yang accepted the limits of his borrowed power and pressed a hand down toward the empty Light Sea.

Lu Yang clashed with Chu Sheng in the Void Darkness, discovering a way his Dao might eventually break Chu Sheng’s True Nascent Soul. Unable to defeat Chu Sheng with Si Sui’s help in their current condition, Lu Yang took the Ancestral Dragon Estate and left, promising to settle matters later.

• Chu Sheng escaped Lu Yang’s attack through the River of Time, but Lu Yang struck the link between its past and present with the Light of Order.
• Chu Sheng’s many temporal forms merged to block the strike, and he retained his Dao Lord rank after Variable faded.
• Lu Yang saw Chu Sheng’s True Nascent Soul and its connection to the Void Darkness, and realized he might be able to delete it if he reached a higher rank.
• Lu Yang asked Si Sui whether they could kill Chu Sheng together, but Si Sui said his remaining strength was insufficient and Cang Hao would likely wait for them to weaken.
• Lu Yang abandoned the fight, seized the Ancestral Dragon Estate, and laughed at Chu Sheng before departing.

After returning the Ancestral Dragon Estate, Lu Yang lost Dao Tianqi’s Wisdom Light and began considering a new path based on the [Heavenly Calendar Number]. He decided to stop waiting and face Chu Sheng in a decisive battle with three Dao Lords.

• Lu Yang sent the dismantled Ancestral Dragon Estate to the Netherworld, where Si Sui and Dao Tianqi repaired it, and Dao Tianqi reclaimed his Wisdom Light.
• Lu Yang tried to devise a Wisdom Light of his own but discovered that recreating the mysterious formula could take hundreds of thousands of years.
• Lu Yang considered what he could carry through a Restart and concluded that the [Heavenly Calendar Number] could become the basis of a path strong enough to rival a Dao Lord.
• Si Sui and Dao Tianqi arrived after Si Sui had recovered, and Lu Yang realized that seventy years had passed since [Wild Continent] opened.
• Lu Yang decided that three Dao Lords were enough and chose to begin the decisive battle against Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng confronted Lu Yang, Si Sui, Dao Tianqi, and the fused Cang Hao and Wan Fa, but revealed that he had never recovered from his injuries and had instead been consumed by the Final Calamity. When he tried to unleash it, he disintegrated before he could finish speaking.

• Chu Sheng proposed that the others unite against Cang Hao and Wan Fa, but the fused Cang Hao appeared and agreed to attack Chu Sheng first.
• Lu Yang urged Cang Hao and Wan Fa to prove their allegiance by striking first, and Si Sui backed his demand.

• Si Sui struck Chu Sheng and discovered that his aura had weakened rather than recovered over the past fifty years.
• Lu Yang sensed the Final Calamity within Chu Sheng, whose Primordial Spirit, soul, and cultivation disintegrated before he could finish his final words.

Chu Sheng triggered the Light Sea’s Final Calamity, forcing Lu Yang to discover that Chu Sheng had preserved records of his past lives to restart alongside him. Lu Yang reclaimed the missing page of the [Hundred Lives Book] as the Final Calamity engulfed the world, determined to confront Chu Sheng directly in the next life.

• Chu Sheng used [Time] and [Fixed Number] to bring the Light Sea’s Final Calamity into the present, and [End Tiger] emerged furious at being dragged into it.
• Cang Hao and Wan Fa fled while Dao Tianqi and Si Sui discussed delaying the Final Calamity, which Si Sui said would eventually consume all of Void Darkness.
• Lu Yang suspected Chu Sheng had planned to force a Restart, then saw a golden book within the Mysterious Cave and endured the Final Calamity to read it.
• Lu Yang realized Chu Sheng had restarted by leaving behind records stripped of memory and personality, and that the records could let Chu Sheng accompany him into the next life.
• Lu Yang returned to [Wild Continent] and the [Hundred Lives Book] swallowed its missing page as the Final Calamity approached.
• Lu Yang vowed to kill Chu Sheng in a direct confrontation and invoked the [Hundred Lives Book] to start over.

After the [Hundred Lives Book] restarted, Lu Yang discovered its true form and gained the [Spirit Transformation Heir] talent, which let him enter the [Heavenly Remnant Consciousness] regardless of cultivation. He reasoned that Chu Sheng’s records were likely kept in [Grandmaster] and that he had a window of time before Chu Sheng could learn what they contained, then chose the initial Anchor Point.

• Lu Yang saw the [Hundred Lives Book] in its true form and realized it now had a title page.
• The panel granted Lu Yang the unique talent [Spirit Transformation Heir], giving him access to the [Heavenly Remnant Consciousness] regardless of cultivation.
• Lu Yang concluded that Chu Sheng’s book could preserve records across restarts and was probably kept inside [Grandmaster].
• Lu Yang reasoned that Chu Sheng would need the Ancestral Dragon to access [Grandmaster], but the Ancestral Dragon was in the Netherworld, delaying Chu Sheng’s discovery of the records.
• The panel asked Lu Yang to choose a restart Anchor Point, and he selected the initial Anchor Point.

Lu Yang chose the [Heavenly Calendar Number] as his reward and fused it with the one in the [Heavenly Palace], creating a Great Dao that surpassed the Light Sea’s limits. He decided to establish it in the Void Darkness, restore his cultivation, and use future restarts to learn when Chu Sheng would discover the altered records and how to break the deadlock.

• Lu Yang apologized to Patriarch Tingyou, True Person Demon-Sweeping, Suo Huan, and Empress Xiao because he could not choose them as his reward after restarting.
• Lu Yang steadied his Primordial Spirit and chose treasure from the [Hundred Lives Book], receiving a [Heavenly Calendar Number].
• Lu Yang fused the two [Heavenly Calendar Number] treasures and realized they had formed a Great Dao that surpassed the Light Sea’s limits.
• Lu Yang decided to let the Great Dao take root in the Void Darkness rather than the [Sea of Suffering].
• Lu Yang planned to use ten lives to determine when Chu Sheng would investigate the [Grandmaster] and to obtain new Anchor Points.
• Lu Yang entered the Void Darkness to establish his Great Dao and test whether breaking through Golden Core completion would earn the [Hundred Lives Book]’s acknowledgment.

Lu Yang planted [Heavenly Calendar Number] in the Void Darkness and began creating a Great Dao there, enduring the growing danger of becoming lost as his power rose to Dao Lord rank. As Lu Yang searched for a way to continue without losing himself, Chu Sheng remained confident that no one could kill him.

• Lu Yang activated [Supreme Dao Assimilation] and planted [Heavenly Calendar Number] in the Void Darkness, where its Light of Order began spreading.
• Lu Yang realized that opening a Great Dao beyond the Light Sea could trigger an essential transformation, though he expected his own to be low-grade.
• Mortals and cultivators saw a faint light in the sky, while Dao Lords on the [Other Shore] recognized it as a Great Dao rooted in the Void Darkness.
• The figure at the summit of the [Other Shore] dismissed the distant light and thought about sending Ancestral Dragon to [Grandmaster] for the [Fate-Snatching Art] ritual.
• Lu Yang’s Great Dao raised him to Dao Lord rank, but the Void Darkness had no natural endpoint and his Primordial Spirit was nearing its limit.
• Lu Yang used [Supreme Dao Assimilation] to search for a way forward before becoming lost.

Lu Yang completed a self-circling Great Dao in Void Darkness, attaining immortality and becoming the Mysterious Virtue Dao Ancestor. He created a small world and sent it crashing toward the Light Sea to draw out Chu Sheng, calling aloud to ask whether Martial Uncle Jun was there.

• Lu Yang turned back at the limits of his Great Dao, bringing it around to join its starting point and form a complete ring.
• Lu Yang merged with the Light of Order and achieved a perfected, immortal state, though his cultivation could no longer advance unless he broke the Great Dao cycle.
• Lu Yang used the Heart-Aligning Soul-Locking Art to conceal his identity under the honorific Mysterious Virtue and named himself the Mysterious Virtue Dao Ancestor.
• Lu Yang formed a small world of Order in Void Darkness and sent it crashing toward the Light Sea to attract the Dao Lords and prompt Chu Sheng to appear.
• Lu Yang called out loudly, asking whether Martial Uncle Jun was there.

Lu Yang met the Dao Lords of the Light Sea and described himself as Xuande, a Dao Ancestor who had traveled from beyond heaven to find his martial uncle. His explanation of how he formed the Great Dao left the Dao Lords bewildered, while the figure atop [Other Shore] recognized that Lu Yang had undergone an evolution of essence.

• Lu Yang spoke the name [Jun], briefly awakening the Light Sea’s inhabitants before a force from [Other Shore] erased their gains and memories.
• Lu Yang faced the Dao Lords and confidently asked whether they were disciples of his martial uncle.
• Cang Hao introduced himself, and Lu Yang gave his Daoist title as Xuande, prompting Cang Hao to suspect he came from the Ancient Era.
• Sword Lord noticed Lu Yang’s [Order] Great Dao and wondered whether he had come from beyond heaven.
• Lu Yang said he had attained the rank of [Dao Ancestor] and explained that spreading a Dao, cultivating its Great Dao tree, and planting its Dao Fruit formed a complete cycle.
• The figure atop [Other Shore] realized that Lu Yang was a true Dao Lord who had completed an evolution of essence.

Chu Sheng secretly examined Lu Yang’s Dao and suspected that the supposed visitor from Beyond Heaven might be concealing his true identity. When the Dao Lords challenged Lu Yang to explain his cultivation lineage, his response left them facing a new accusation about their own system.

• Chu Sheng identified Lu Yang’s cyclical Dao as a flawed path that nevertheless echoed [Transcendence], and he chose to watch him rather than reveal himself.
• Lu Yang asked whether the Dao Lords were disciples of Martial Uncle Jun, but Cang Hao said they had never heard of him.
• Wan Fa asked Lu Yang to explain the cultivation system below the [Dao Ancestor] realm, and Lu Yang described the Deification Method from his past life.
• Du Xuan noted that Lu Yang’s method still elevated one’s rank, while Wan Fa demonstrated the Light Sea’s cultivation method in response.
• Lu Yang declared that the Light Sea’s method could never reach [Dao Ancestor] and called it a country-bumpkin independent cultivator method.

Lu Yang challenged the Dao Lords’ account of their cultivation and learned that their status came from using [Other Shore] as a substitute for a proper Dharma lineage. He fought the World Honored One to demonstrate his strength, then used [Delete] to shatter the World Honored One’s mysteries and isolate him from heaven and earth.

• Lu Yang accused the Dao Lords of deceiving him by giving him rogue cultivator methods despite their [Dao Ancestor] cultivation.
• Sword Lord explained that the Dao Lords used [Other Shore], built from [Origin Jade], the Light Sea, and the Great Dao, to overcome their cultivation method’s limits.
• The Dao Lords chose the World Honored One to test Lu Yang, and the World Honored One manifested his Dao Lord true body.
• Lu Yang manifested his own Dao Body, and their collision filled the Light Sea with a vast, silent radiance.
• Lu Yang used [Delete] against the World Honored One, shattering the mysteries around him and making everything in heaven and earth draw away.

Lu Yang defeated the World Honored One with [deletion], then warned the Dao Lords that their reliance on [Other Shore] left their cultivation vulnerable. When Cang Hao asked about [Jun], Lu Yang showed them Chu Sheng’s likeness, prompting a Dao cry from the summit of [Other Shore].

• Lu Yang nearly erased the World Honored One with a powerful Great Dao technique, but the World Honored One preserved [Karma] through his position on [Other Shore] and recovered.
• The World Honored One conceded defeat, and Lu Yang reflected that [deletion] cost him heavily because the World Honored One held a higher position.
• Lu Yang told the Dao Lords that their essence had not changed with their positions and warned that [Other Shore]’s collapse could strip them of their cultivation.
• Lu Yang explained that his Great Dao could sustain its own cycle, unlike the Dao Lords’ dependence on [Other Shore] and its proximity.
• Cang Hao asked Lu Yang for details about [Jun], and Lu Yang showed an image of Chu Sheng as Uncle-Master [Jun].
• A Dao cry rang out from the summit of [Other Shore].

Lu Yang and Chu Sheng each suspected the other was hiding a connection to Jun and began planning to draw out information by impersonating him. Lu Yang secured permission to stay in Jiangnan while searching for clues about his Martial Uncle, and wondered whether the Sword Lord wanted him because of his past-life Heavenly Palace.

• The World Honored One identified Chu Sheng as the strongest person at [Other Shore], and Lu Yang greeted him as a senior before Chu Sheng withdrew.
• Chu Sheng reasoned that Lu Yang might be an Ancient Era cultivator and Jun's nephew, then considered impersonating Jun to meet him.
• Lu Yang anticipated Chu Sheng's plan and decided he could play along to learn more about Jun and Chu Sheng's book.

• Lu Yang suspected the Sword Lord wanted his [Heavenly Palace] and wondered whether she wanted him.

True Lord Sky Soaring Sun Obscuring sensed a Dao Lord battle and received a message from the World Honored One about Xuande, a powerful cultivator who followed a path unlike the Other Shore. A young Daoist then arrived in the Light Sea, appeared before Sky Soaring in the Netherworld, and asked him to become his disciple.

• Sky Soaring wondered whether the anomalies in the Real World signaled a fight between Dao Lords and suspected the World Honored One was involved.
• A sealed memory stirred, allowing the World Honored One to tell Sky Soaring that Xuande had arrived in the Light Sea with cultivation no weaker than his own.
• A vast aurora tore through the Light Sea's boundary, and its sun-and-moon radiance swept across the realms before striking the Ghost Gate and Sky Soaring.
• A young Daoist appeared inside the Attaining-Enlightenment Hidden Profound Residence and displayed Sky Soaring's memory of his conversation with the World Honored One.
• The young Daoist asked Sky Soaring whether he wanted to become his disciple.

Lu Yang revealed Sky Soaring’s true identity as Ling Xiao Dong Huang True Lord and pressed him to become his disciple, offering a way to pursue the Great Dao without relying on the Netherworld. As Lu Yang’s actions weakened False History, Chu Sheng grew suspicious and decided he could no longer wait to bring back the Ancestral Dragon.

• Lu Yang dispelled the Netherworld’s power and restored Sky Soaring’s memories, revealing him to be Ling Xiao Dong Huang True Lord.
• Lu Yang offered to teach Sky Soaring his Dao methods and urged him to leave the Netherworld’s influence behind.
• Lu Yang examined the Netherworld and False History, discovering that Dao Tianqi’s survival was tied to the Netherworld and that False History had weakened.
• Chu Sheng blamed Lu Yang for the sudden changes in False History and suspected the visitor knew him personally.
• Chu Sheng decided to bring back the Ancestral Dragon before ten more years passed so he could maintain the Name-Seizing Heaven Method ritual and show him the book.

Lu Yang planned to use Ancestral Dragon to enter Grandmaster and alter the Restart records before Chu Sheng could inspect them. Chu Sheng intervened when Sky Soaring began doubting the Netherworld path, and Lu Yang ended by telling Chu Sheng he had come to retrieve a glittering golden book.

• Lu Yang realized Ancestral Dragon was True Lord Biluofuguang in the Netherworld and considered using his Out-of-Drama Observer talent to follow it into Grandmaster.
• Lu Yang taught Sky Soaring the Deification Method and offered him a chance to leave and cultivate alongside him.
• Sky Soaring suspected that the Netherworld path concealed a trap and began leaning toward Lu Yang’s alternative method.
• Chu Sheng stopped time and projected his Heavenly Person’s Form after seeing Sky Soaring tempted away from the plan for Spirit Transformation Ascension.
• Chu Sheng presented himself to Lu Yang as his martial uncle and claimed he was severing his karmic ties before transcendence.
• Lu Yang said he had come on his master’s orders to retrieve a glittering golden book and asked Chu Sheng whether he had seen it.
