• Lu Yuan crippled the selected captives, announced that he would enter seclusion, and left the Third Elder in command before closing the Stone Gate.

Lu Yuan weighed the danger of dismantling the Red Dust Threads and chose to merge the Primordial Grade cultivation arts into the Heavenly Book before studying them. Meanwhile, Hu Jiu Jiu and the Nine-tailed Fox Clan captured the Giant Spirit Eagle Clan’s territory with suspiciously little resistance, leaving her worried about where its Supremes had gone.

Lu Yuan compared the Myriad Heavens’ Three Small Tribulations with the Lesser Thousand Worlds’ Nine Revolutions and considered how their different trials affected cultivators’ strength. After linking his paths of space, time, and destiny to the three tribulations, he concluded that none needed priority and wondered whether uniting them would let him enter the Supreme Realm.

• Lu Yuan explained that the Physical Body, Spiritual Power, and God Soul Tribulations made Myriad Heavens cultivators stronger and more balanced than Nine Revolutions Dou Zuns.
• He noted that ascenders such as the Nine-tailed Fox Clan and, in the future, Xiao Yan would be weakened by the gap between the two cultivation systems.

• Lu Yuan broke through to the Heavenly Realm Late Stage, intimidating the surrounding factions and revealing the Physical Body Tribulation as his first Supreme Realm tribulation.
• Lu Yuan entered a colorless space, touched the ground, and used the Power of Destiny to reach the past in his own body in the Douluo World.
• Lu Yuan knocked the Rakshasa God and the Asura God into a pit with a casual command, leaving the gathered gods, humans, and soul beasts stunned.
• When the Asura God asked who he was, Lu Yuan rejected the expected answer of Origin and said, "I am myself!"
• A figure above the Star River judged Lu Yuan qualified to become himself, while Lu Yuan remained in the past and concluded that his arrival had already begun a new chapter.

After completing the Physical Body and Spiritual Power Tribulations, Lu Yuan found his body and Mana had improved but reached the limit imposed by the world. His analysis led him to conclude that he needed to cultivate a self-sustaining Inner World, and he began drawing thunder above Demon Saint Valley as he pursued that path.

• Lu Yuan returned to the secret chamber in Demon Saint Valley with greatly improved compatibility between his soul and body, and sensed a slow transformation within himself.
• He assessed the gains from the Spiritual Power Tribulation and realized his Mana's quantity and quality had each nearly doubled, yet his breakthrough had reached the world's limit for the Three Small Tribulations of the Supreme Realm.
• Lu Yuan analyzed Mana as a transformation of internal and external energy and reasoned that Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi could not be an inexhaustible resource.
• He concluded that Pan Gu's perfect internal cycle offered a clue to how the world's energy was sustained.
• Lu Yuan decided to open a self-circulating Inner World that could remain powerful regardless of changes to the outside world, and he drew thunder from above Demon Saint Valley.

Lu Yuan weighed whether to skip the Spiritual Power Tribulation or weaken his time and spatial powers before opening an Inner World, then chose to enter the God Soul Tribulation and risk an uncertain outcome. Above the Star River, a young man and Li Er discussed why Lu Yuan had been drawn into his fate and hoped his path would end better than the young man’s own.

• Lu Yuan concluded that weakening time and space would leave dangerous powers outside his Inner World, so he chose to defer opening it until after the God Soul Tribulation.
• Lu Yuan used the Eye of Fate, received no useful prediction, and poured his Mental Power into it as he charged into the God Soul Tribulation.
• Above the Star River, a young man told Li Er that Lu Yuan was uniquely suited to bear a responsibility because their paths complemented each other.

• The young man said he did not want Lu Yuan to suffer another bad ending and wondered why the others had gathered to disturb him.

Lu Yuan awoke in a forest with his cultivation, physical strength, and Storage Space sealed, then used stealth and improvised traps to survive and assess three young cultivators. After drawing the group into chasing a series of false clues, he prepared to exploit their reaction, but the chapter ended with the youths agreeing to pursue him.

• Lu Yuan woke in the forest powerless and unable to cultivate, so he covered himself in mud, concealed his scent, and crawled carefully through the wilderness.
• After hours of cautious travel, Lu Yuan spotted a campfire and used five simple traps to test the alertness and cultivation of the two boys and one girl nearby.
• When the first trap snapped, the youths scattered their fire and approached the sound in formation, showing practical combat experience.
• The point man found Lu Yuan's trap but no attacker, then heard another snap from farther away and recognized that someone was trying to exhaust them.
• The youths agreed to chase the apparent hunter, following Lu Yuan into the trap he had prepared.

Lu Yuan used traps and camouflage to ambush three youths in the forest, then killed the last one in a close fight. He took the young man's longsword and judged the group's combat skills inexperienced.

• The three youths recognized that repeated traps had drawn them away from their campfire, but their leader chose to keep pursuing the unseen enemy.
• The youths found more traps and remained focused on their surroundings, allowing Lu Yuan, disguised in mud, to rise among them unnoticed.

• Lu Yuan rushed the blinded youth and pierced his heart with a sharpened branch, then took his longsword and criticized his tactics.

After losing his cultivation, Lu Yuan scavenged weapons from three dead youths and hid from a group pursuing the wounded Luo Li. When their standoff ended with the pursuers approaching, Lu Yuan and Luo Li temporarily joined forces on the Spirit Road, where Ji Xuan’s group was trying to capture her.

• Lu Yuan took weapons from three corpses, concealed himself beneath a tree, and heard a group approaching.
• A branch broke beneath Luo Li, exposing Lu Yuan; she held a sword to his neck after noticing the nearby corpses and his ability to conceal his aura.
• Lu Yuan tried to persuade Luo Li that they had no reason to fight, but she slashed at him and he blocked the blow with a concealed dagger.
• As the pursuers drew near, Lu Yuan and Luo Li exchanged names and agreed to act as temporary teammates.
