Chapter Summaries

The Tushan First Elder invited Lu Yuan to discuss Tushan’s preservation of its dead and asked him to make more Bone Growing Blood Melting Pills. She offered him generous status and protection in return, leaving Lu Yuan to consider how he might cooperate with Tushan.

• The Tushan First Elder took Lu Yuan aside for tea while Heart Demon Thunder Emperor reunited with his revived lover.
• The Tushan First Elder called Lu Yuan “Xiao Yuan” and explained that Tushan preserved souls so loved ones could part without regret.
• Lu Yuan guessed that the First Elder wanted him to refine more Bone Growing Blood Melting Pills to revive Tushan clan members.
• The Tushan First Elder offered Lu Yuan rewards, permanent honored-guest protection, and the possibility of becoming an honorary or consecrated elder who taught Tushan’s promising talents.

Lu Yuan declined the Tushan First Elder’s offer to stay as a guest elder and teach alchemy, but proposed borrowing the Skyfox Form to deepen his ties with Tushan. After the First Elder mistook his request for an attempt to court a Tushan girl, Lu Yuan clarified his intentions and explained that he needed to study the form to perfect a Supreme Dharmakaya.

• Lu Yuan declined the Tushan First Elder’s proposal because he could not promise he would remain long enough to train an apprentice.
• Lu Yuan told the First Elder he wanted to maintain and develop his relationship with Tushan, prompting her to assume he had fallen for a Tushan girl.
• The First Elder offered to help Lu Yuan pursue the girl, but Lu Yuan clarified that he wanted to borrow the Skyfox Form, not seek a marriage connection.
• The First Elder agreed that Lu Yuan could borrow the Skyfox Form and asked why he needed it.
• Lu Yuan explained that he intended to perfect a Supreme Dharmakaya by studying other high-quality Supreme Dharmakayas, especially the Ten Primal Supreme Dharmakayas.

Lu Yuan negotiated with the Tushan clan to refine pills and plan resurrections in exchange for access to their cultivation arts, then helped revive several clan members. After securing the knowledge he sought, he set out to obtain more Primal Supreme Dharmakayas and considered whether he could draw the Heavenly Evil God into the fray.

• The Tushan First Elder warned Lu Yuan that drawing on other Supreme Dharmakayas could not produce a Primal Supreme Dharmakaya, but Lu Yuan clarified that he meant to complete the Primal Chaos World Body rather than create one.
• Lu Yuan and the Tushan First Elder agreed that he would refine Bone Growing Blood Melting Pills and devise resurrection plans in exchange for access to the Skyfox Form and other Tushan cultivation arts, with Tushan covering legitimate expenses.
• Lu Yuan spent a month refining pills, studying Tushan techniques, and tailoring resurrection plans to individual souls.
• Lu Yuan matched materials for the resurrections while the Tushan First Elder handled the physical-body procedures, and several clan members were successfully revived.
• Lu Yuan obtained more than he had expected from Tushan, bid farewell to the First Elder, and flew toward his next destination to seek other Primal Supreme Dharmakayas.
• Lu Yuan wondered whether the three Heavenly Devil Emperors had encountered the Heavenly Evil God and whether he could draw that powerful enemy into the conflict.

Lu Yuan obtained the Eternal Undying Body from Immortal Emperor after they discussed their views on strength, confidence, and sharing cultivation knowledge. He could not borrow the Sumeru Dharmakaya because it belonged to the Buddhist Sect’s inheritance, and his rejection of the sect’s teachings left him with no path to obtain it.

• Lu Yuan discussed the Eternal Undying Body with Immortal Emperor and secured permission to draw on its path.
• Immortal Emperor explained that true strength mattered more than concealing weaknesses or relying on information, and he even offered Lu Yuan his cultivation technique.
• Lu Yuan failed to borrow the Sumeru Dharmakaya because the Buddhist Sect reserved its inheritance for its own qualified successors.
• Lu Yuan rejected the Buddhist Sect’s approach and declined to pursue the Sumeru Dharmakaya.

Lu Yuan completed the cultivation method for the Primal Chaos World Body using the seven Supreme Dharmakayas he had obtained, despite being unable to access the Myriad Spirits Chaos Body because he could not change his soul or meet the Dragon Clan’s requirements. The scroll revealed more words that might describe a related Supreme Dharmakaya, and Lu Yuan began studying them.

• Lu Yuan reasoned that Soul Seizing damaged a soul’s origin, making it a poor alternative to restoring a body through natural growth.
• Lu Yuan concluded that the Heart Demon Thunder Emperor had kept his Dao Companion’s soul sealed in Tushan rather than risk damaging it with an incompatible body.
• Lu Yuan recognized that the Bone Growing Blood Melting Pill could restore a body that matched its soul by amplifying self-healing and supplying the materials needed for new flesh.
• Lu Yuan accepted that he could not obtain the Myriad Spirits Chaos Body because it required a Dragon Clan soul and the Dragon Clan restricted access to its inheritance.
• Lu Yuan used his seven other Supreme Dharmakayas to restore the Primal Chaos World Body, whose upper limit reached the Dominator Realm.
• Lu Yuan noticed additional words appearing on the scroll and began considering whether they described a continuation or a new Supreme Dharmakaya.

Lu Yuan examined the Eternal Years Body scroll, decided to cultivate the Primal Chaos World Body first, and assessed the resources and World Consciousness recognition it required. He put the scroll away and set out to gather supplies, leaving uncertain requirements for the future.

• Lu Yuan found that the Eternal Years Body scroll contained only a name, so he could not determine how to restore or cultivate it.
• Lu Yuan decided to cultivate the Primal Chaos World Body first, believing it could raise his strength enough to contend with Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereigns, though not the Immortal Emperor.
• Lu Yuan explained that he could replace cultivation techniques without abolishing his cultivation, and concluded that the Primal Chaos World Body was worth the resource cost.
• Lu Yuan analyzed the technique’s requirements, including World Consciousness recognition, Void Essence, and Profound Yellow Mother Qi.
• Lu Yuan put away the scroll and set off to gather the supplies he could obtain.

Lu Yuan reviewed how the three major intelligence forces operated as he sought supplies to repair the Primal Chaos World Body. He had gathered one-third of the materials in two months and planned to rely mainly on the Merchant Alliance, while treating the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and Human World Society as secondary sources.

• Lu Yuan gathered one-third of his required supplies in two months, aided by intelligence about where rare materials might be found.
• The chapter described the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's costly divination, which could provide exceptionally precise intelligence at the expense of its diviners' lifespans.
• The Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's members sacrificed themselves during the Ancient Great Battle to locate the Heavenly Evil God, and their Heaven-Peering Art was later lost.
• The Merchant Alliance sold material listings, monitored requests, and offered notifications and transport services, but charged high prices.
• The Human World Society offered cheap, unreliable intelligence, so Lu Yuan planned to use it opportunistically after learning about auctions from the Merchant Alliance.

Lu Yuan confronted the Heavenly Evil God, who offered to recruit him into the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race after recognizing his extraordinary potential. Lu Yuan refused, leaving the two powerful figures poised for a confrontation.

• Lu Yuan sensed a powerful stalker outside the Merchant Alliance and fled into the Inner Space, but the pursuer followed him.
• The stalker revealed himself as the Heavenly Evil God, and Lu Yuan identified him as the leader of the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race.
• The Heavenly Evil God explained that he had come to avenge the Lightless Heavenly Devil Emperor but changed his mind after witnessing Lu Yuan's strength.
• The Heavenly Evil God offered to bless Lu Yuan or let him choose another bloodline transformation, promising to share power if Lu Yuan joined his race.
• Lu Yuan rejected the offer, despite the Heavenly Evil God's regret at the refusal.

Lu Yuan faced Heavenly Evil God in deep space as both unleashed their power, devastating the surrounding regions and endangering countless cultivators. When Heavenly Evil God opened all nine eyes and reached the Dominator Realm, Lu Yuan fled, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Heavenly Evil God revealed the eyes hidden across his body and explained that opening all nine would bring him to the Dominator Realm.
• Heavenly Evil God and Lu Yuan shaped the deep space around them with opposing powers, while their presence crushed people and disrupted spatial travel across the continent.
• Earth Supremes and Heavenly Sovereigns watched from afar, unable to intervene as the two powerhouses' influence spread.
• Heavenly Evil God opened the eye over his heart and then the ninth eye at his dantian, overwhelming Lu Yuan with his Dominator Realm aura.
• Lu Yuan turned to flee and sent countless Red Dust Threads into the void as Heavenly Evil God entered a powerful state he could not safely fight.

Heavenly Evil God attacked Lu Yuan as he tried to escape, but the Red Dust Threads began converting the Demonic Qi into more threads. Seeing that Lu Yuan could control the contamination, Heavenly Evil God stopped fighting and offered him a role that could let the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race coexist with the Myriad Heavens.

• Heavenly Evil God explained that his Nine Eyes state had left him temporarily weakened, while his Dominator-level life force made him difficult for lower-level fighters to kill.
• Lu Yuan tried to flee, but Heavenly Evil God struck him with Five Eyes · Evil Waterfall.
• The Red Dust Threads resisted the Demonic Qi and began transforming it into more threads, shocking Heavenly Evil God.
• Heavenly Evil God halted his attack and proposed that Lu Yuan use the threads to neutralize the race’s pollution and help them settle in the Myriad Heavens.
• Heavenly Evil God outlined a plan for the race to obtain resources while Lu Yuan cleaned polluted battlefields and territories, reducing the scale of future wars.

Lu Yuan fled while Heavenly Evil God pursued him, determined to talk rather than fight but unable to convince Lu Yuan to trust him. Lu Yuan finally stopped near the Returning Heart Demon Thunder Emperor’s territory, keeping his distance and preparing to call on allies if the pursuit turned into a battle.

• Lu Yuan continued running and sent a Years Blade at Heavenly Evil God, while Heavenly Evil God restrained his anger, ended his Forbidden Technique, and chased him in a weakened five-eyed state.
• Heavenly Evil God endured Lu Yuan’s Years Blades and Red Dust Threads without retaliating, hoping that attacking would not drive Lu Yuan farther away.
• Lu Yuan recognized that Heavenly Evil God seemed sincere but maintained his escape to avoid leading him into the Returning Heart Demon Thunder Emperor’s territory without a plan.
• Lu Yuan calculated that he could join forces with the Returning Heart Demon Thunder Emperor and, if necessary, lure Heavenly Evil God toward the Immortal Emperor and the other Emperors.
• Lu Yuan stopped at a distance of ten thousand miles and told Heavenly Evil God to stay where he was and speak from there.

Lu Yuan and Heavenly Evil God negotiated after their earlier conflict, and Heavenly Evil God proposed using Lu Yuan’s Red Dust Threads to contain the Saint Race’s Demonic Qi. The chapter ended with Lu Yuan questioning how the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race would obtain resources under that plan.

• Lu Yuan explained why he had destroyed the Eye Demon Clan and said that the conflict between him and Heavenly Evil God could not be settled by sincerity alone.
• Heavenly Evil God offered to pardon Lu Yuan and sacrifice the Lightless Heavenly Devil Emperor and the other two captives in exchange for a conversation.
• Heavenly Evil God proposed that Lu Yuan’s Red Dust Threads could contain the Saint Race’s Demonic Qi and let the race coexist with the Myriad Heavens.
• Lu Yuan and Heavenly Evil God tested the Red Dust Threads against the Five Eyes · Evil Waterfall, and Heavenly Evil God explained that the threads could devour Demonic Qi.
• Lu Yuan warned that the threads could also consume the Saint Race’s bodies and souls, so Heavenly Evil God suggested using them to blockade Demonic Qi around the Saint Race’s territory.
• Lu Yuan pointed out that Heavenly Evil God’s plan still left the question of where the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race would obtain resources.

The Heavenly Evil God argued that the Holy Clan plundered because its lower-ranked members needed food, while Lu Yuan explained why the resulting Demonic Qi and inevitable conflict made peaceful trade unworkable. The Heavenly Evil God proposed that Lu Yuan act as a bridge between his clan and the human race, using a war funded by the Holy Clan to create a chance for the clan to recover and rebuild.

• The Heavenly Evil God explained that Holy Clan members below the God Soul Realm needed food and that plunder was their only path to survival.
• The Heavenly Evil God compared Holy Clan plunder with the exploitation and violence common among human families and powers, and Lu Yuan acknowledged that the Myriad Heavens was not free of such practices.
• Lu Yuan rejected outward raids and an inward Trading Area as solutions, citing Demonic Qi contamination, the danger of bandit cultivators, and the likelihood that trade would lead to war.
• The Heavenly Evil God asked whether Lu Yuan could become a bridge between the Holy Clan and the human race, and Lu Yuan understood that he meant arranging a scheme to win acceptance for the clan.
• The Heavenly Evil God proposed using war as an opening, with the Holy Clan bearing the costs in exchange for a chance to recover and rebuild, and promised to handle how to prevent lasting hatred.

Lu Yuan and Heavenly Evil God negotiated a plan to end the war by having their strongest leaders and many Heavenly Devil Emperors die or remain suppressed, while preserving both peoples. They agreed on limits for casualties and began discussing territory, with Heavenly Evil God demanding at least one-quarter of the Myriad Heavens.

• Lu Yuan insisted that Heavenly Evil God provide a practical plan, explaining that the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race would not accept peace while its strongest leaders remained free to wage war.
• Heavenly Evil God proposed a staged battle in which he and the Immortal Emperor would be suppressed, convincing both sides that victory was uncertain and discouraging further war.
• Heavenly Evil God offered to kill 30,000 Heavenly Devil Emperors and have roughly half of another 5,000 suppressed, while keeping the rest available for his race.
• Lu Yuan accepted the proposed numbers but required the Myriad Heavens to retain at least as many Heavenly Sovereigns at every level as the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race, and rejected any peaceful order for them to kill themselves.
• Heavenly Evil God accepted Lu Yuan’s casualty condition and said he wanted half the Myriad Heavens’ territory, but would accept as little as one-quarter.

Lu Yuan and Heavenly Evil God negotiated how much territory the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race could claim, agreeing on a ceiling of half the Myriad Heavens while leaving the final share dependent on the war. They then prepared to test whether Lu Yuan’s Red Dust Threads could contain Demonic Qi, with Heavenly Evil God promising not to pursue or kill him if the test failed.

• Lu Yuan explained why the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race needed substantial territory and set half the Myriad Heavens as his bottom line.
• Heavenly Evil God said his current estimate was three thousand five hundred continents and argued that the demand was moderate compared with the Myriad Heavens’ population and military strength.
• Lu Yuan reflected that intervening could make him seem like a traitor to both sides, but that failing to intervene would allow far greater losses to occur.
• Heavenly Evil God asked to verify that Red Dust Threads could enclose territory and stop Demonic Qi from spreading.
• Lu Yuan proposed testing the technique at the site where the Eye Demon Clan had been destroyed and said he would end further dealings if it failed.
• Heavenly Evil God assured Lu Yuan that he would not hunt him down if the test failed, while admitting he could not understand Red Dust Threads or the Years Blade.

Lu Yuan revisited the ruins of the Eye Demon Clan to test whether his Red Dust Threads could consume the Demonic Qi left behind. The experiment showed that they could, and the Heavenly Evil God welcomed the discovery while remaining uncertain how far Lu Yuan could develop the ability.

• Lu Yuan accepted that he could not rewrite his own past or know for certain whether the Eye Demon Clan's destruction had been right.
• Lu Yuan and the Heavenly Evil God arrived at the site where the Eye Demon Clan had been destroyed.
• Lu Yuan released Red Dust Threads around the ruins and drew them inward to test their effect on the remaining Demonic Qi.
• The Red Dust Threads multiplied as the Demonic Qi diminished, and spiritual energy began to emerge between heaven and earth.
• The Heavenly Evil God praised the result and considered how the Red Dust Threads might one day be used to clean Demonic Qi from the Myriad Heavens.

Lu Yuan weighed the consequences of cooperating with Heavenly Evil God, fearing that changing history could cause immense harm, and discussed the need to find a solution together. Heavenly Evil God regarded Lu Yuan as crucial to the Holy Clan’s future, while remaining prepared to oppose him if he blocked their return home.

• Lu Yuan considered whether cooperation with Heavenly Evil God would betray the Heavenly Emperor and alter the future in ways he could not predict.
• Lu Yuan compared the immense casualties of the original war with Heavenly Evil God’s proposal, which would still cost tens of thousands of Heavenly Sovereigns but limit harm to people below the Supreme Realm.
• Lu Yuan told Heavenly Evil God that he wanted to discuss matters of great importance now that they had confirmed his ability, and Heavenly Evil God readily agreed.
• Heavenly Evil God viewed Lu Yuan as essential to the Holy Clan’s future and resolved not to give up that opportunity unless Lu Yuan obstructed their return to their homeland.
• Heavenly Evil God explained that he had inherited responsibility for his father’s actions and had sought a way forward for the Holy Clan because he felt he had no choice.

Lu Yuan revealed that he had traveled from the future and warned the Heavenly Evil God that changing history could threaten his existence and the Red Dust Threads. They agreed to protect Lu Yuan’s world and key people while preserving crucial events, but the Heavenly Evil God asked to let the Nine Corpse Heavenly Devil Emperor survive through reincarnation.

• Lu Yuan told the Heavenly Evil God that he came from several hundred thousand years in the future, where the Immortal Emperor sealed him after a catastrophic war.
• The Heavenly Evil God worried that altering the past could erase Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan reassured him that his home, the Dou Qi Continent, could remain untouched.
• Lu Yuan asked the Heavenly Evil God to leave the Floating Tu Ancient Clan, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Qingqiu Fox Clan alone and let history unfold around them.
• Lu Yuan specified that the Qing Lineage must be protected, the Heavenly Emperor’s soul must be preserved after his confrontation with the Nine Corpse Heavenly Devil Emperor, and the Qingqiu Clan must not be exterminated.
• The Heavenly Evil God agreed to Lu Yuan’s conditions but asked to preserve the Nine Corpse Heavenly Devil Emperor’s soul for reincarnation.

Lu Yuan agreed to help Heavenly Evil God and secured a condition that the Five Hall Masters and Nine Corpse Heavenly Devil Emperor could be revived if killed and sealed. Heavenly Evil God prepared to bring him before the Holy Clan, while Lu Yuan reasoned that the leader could force the Heavenly Devil Emperors to accept his plan.

• Lu Yuan agreed to spare Nine Corpse Heavenly Devil Emperor and asked that the Five Hall Masters and other selected Heavenly Sovereigns be left with remnant souls and sealed for later revival.
• Heavenly Evil God accepted Lu Yuan’s conditions and offered to take him to the Holy Clan to announce his decision and screen the Heavenly Devil Emperors.
• Lu Yuan considered why Heavenly Evil God had no reason to betray him, since he could capture Lu Yuan without deactivating the Forbidden Technique.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that Heavenly Evil God would sacrifice the Heavenly Devil Emperor upper ranks to preserve the Holy Clan’s grassroots and rebuild its strength over time.
• Lu Yuan concluded that Heavenly Evil God could overcome resistance through force, loyalists, and public support, leaving fewer than twenty thousand Heavenly Devil Emperors as serious opponents.

Heavenly Evil God struggled with the Heavenly Devil Emperors’ willingness to sacrifice themselves for their race and asked where Lu Yuan was before the banquet. The chapter described the strange appearances and abilities of the Heavenly Devil Emperors accompanying Lu Yuan, then left the banquet still two hours away.

• Heavenly Evil God received hundreds of Heavenly Devil Emperors’ requests to choose opponents and die as escorts, and his loyal subordinates gathered the letters in silence.
• Heavenly Evil God asked how long remained until the banquet and where Lu Yuan was, learning that the banquet began at 8:00 and Lu Yuan was touring the northern region with several seniors.
• A Heavenly Devil Emperor explained that Minglan specialized in water-based divine abilities, while the chapter described Minglan’s eight tentacles and the appearances of Luling and Shixin.
• The chapter recounted Luo God’s potential to reach the Nine Emperors’ level and the lost divine power Momentary Eternity, which might let her contend with the Immortal Emperor.
• Lu Yuan continued touring with the Heavenly Devil Emperors, whose mutated bodies looked monstrous but lacked Cthulhu’s mental corruption.
