Yao Lao laid down rules for Lu Yuan and Xiao Yan about conscience, feelings, and responsibility before Xiao Yan described the three-way political balance on Dou Qi Continent. Lu Yuan urged Xiao Yan to fight the Neutral Faction and promised to support him, leaving Xiao Yan to treat the coming conflict as both practice and a test.

• Yao Lao told Lu Yuan and Xiao Yan not to betray their conscience, mistreat others' feelings, or evade responsibility, then asked them to explain the rules.

• Xiao Yan kept his distance from Gu Xun’er because of his lingering trauma over her past schemes, while Lu Yuan was not wary of her.
• Zi Yan and Feng Qing Er’s mutual dislike kept the group’s tense gathering balanced, and Yun Yun remained absent because of her Flower Sect duties.

Lu Yuan gathered his confidantes to explain his past and the secrets behind his personality, after Xiao Yan and Yao Lao withdrew to give them privacy. He revealed that he was a transmigrator around a hundred years old and described how betrayal and revenge had fractured him, leaving him to face the women’s questions about what came next.

• Lu Yuan moved Gu Xun'er and the others to the starry sky between the Dou Qi Continent and the Myriad Heavens and resumed his explanation.
• Lu Yuan revealed that he was a transmigrator whose accumulated life experience made him around a hundred years old, prompting Feng Qing Er and Zi Yan to argue over their ages.
• Gu Xun'er asked what hardships had shaped Lu Yuan, and he explained how shattered dignity, revenge, and fear of trusting others had divided his rational and emotional selves before the people around him helped put him back together.

Lu Yuan confessed to Gu Xun'er and the others that he had made promises to many women across his past lives and would not abandon them. They accepted the situation more readily than he expected, but he still struggled with how to take responsibility for everyone and asked what they wanted him to do.

• Lu Yuan warned Gu Xun'er, Zi Yan, Feng Qing Er, and the others that he had multiple relationships and would not forsake the women he had promised to.
• At Ya Fei and Little Fairy Doctor's prompting, Lu Yuan listed women from several worlds, including Xiao Wu, Qian Renxue, the Tushan sisters, Hu Liena, Bi Yao, and Lu Xueqi.

• Lu Yuan turned to Gu Xun'er and the others and asked what they wanted him to do.

Gu Xun'er and Lu Yuan's other confidantes discussed what they expected from their relationships with him, and Lu Yuan agreed to Feng Qing Er's condition and mentioned the women he had met in the Myriad Heavens. He then went to the Flower Sect to see Yun Yun, arriving while she was bathing and leaving her startled.

The chapter explained the Flower Sect’s history, rules, and internal succession tensions, focusing on Hua Yu’s inability to retire until Yun Yun was ready. Lu Yuan chose to let Yun Yun develop at her own pace, confident that the Flower Sect’s future was secure.

• The chapter described how the Flower Sect’s founding Grandmaster rose from slavery to become a powerful Dou Sheng and established the sect’s principles of women’s strength and yin-yang harmony.
• The chapter explained that Flower Sect members could compete for leadership and seek one opposite-sex Dao Companion as a helper, while the Sect Master had to put the sect before personal feelings.
• Hua Yu wanted to step down, but Yun Yun was not yet ready to take over, so Hua Yu had to remain Sect Master and wait for her disciple to mature.
• The chapter noted that Hua Yu’s connection to Yao Lao deterred the Heavenly Underworld Sect and other hostile forces from interfering in Flower Sect disputes.
• Lu Yuan decided not to rush Yun Yun’s succession and trusted that she would eventually train a successor and retire.

Lu Yuan considered how to bring the Dou Qi Continent into the Myriad Heavens while limiting unpredictable changes. He concluded that he first needed to find out whether the Dou Qi Continent's World Will still existed, since its Plane Embryo could determine how he proceeded.

• Lu Yuan decided that he needed to guide the Dou Qi Continent's ascension and arrange for it to merge near the Crimson Continent.
• Lu Yuan explained that a Plane Embryo was a world's core and described how it connected a Lesser Thousand World to its World Will and the Myriad Heavens.
• Lu Yuan recounted how the Myriad Heavens' development had been disrupted by the Extraterrestrial Evil God Race and how the Immortal Emperor and Heavenly Evil God were now suppressed together under the Immortal Emperor's formation.
• Lu Yuan determined that a cooperative World Will could help the Dou Qi Continent ascend without him seizing its Plane Embryo.
• Lu Yuan decided to confirm whether the Dou Qi Continent's World Will still existed before choosing his next step.

Lu Yuan met the World Will of the Dou Qi Continent and learned that its Plane Embryo could help someone control local space-time and destiny, but integrating the world into the Myriad Heavens required a Heavenly Sovereign. He gave the Plane Embryo to Xiao Yan, explained its limits, and returned to the Myriad Heavens to continue cultivating.

• Lu Yuan met the World Will of the Dou Qi Continent, which explained that its Plane Embryo could be absorbed by someone who had reached Supreme and would grant permissions over space-time and destiny.
• Lu Yuan learned that integrating the Dou Qi Continent into the Myriad Heavens required its Plane Embryo to be merged with a cultivator who later advanced to Heavenly Sovereign.
• Lu Yuan gave the Plane Embryo to Xiao Yan and explained that Xiao Yan could use its powers only within the Dou Qi Continent and only within the limits of his own strength.
• Lu Yuan returned to the Myriad Heavens and descended at the space-time anchor point marked in the Primal Chaos World Body cultivation scroll.

Lu Yuan considered the risks of changing the past and the limits of his current power before discovering a cultivation method for the Eternal Body of Years. Although he already met its requirements, he feared the method might be part of someone else’s plan and hesitated to cultivate it.

• Lu Yuan judged that killing multiple Heavenly Sovereigns in the present would likely cost him his life, while killing them in the past could cause unpredictable changes to history.
• Lu Yuan compared the strength of the Western Heaven Battle Emperor and the Nine Tribulations Battle Emperor and concluded that improving his own realm was the safest solution.
• Lu Yuan returned to his secret chamber and examined a scroll describing the Eternal Body of Years, the latter part of the Primal Chaos World Body.
• Lu Yuan found that he already possessed the listed requirements, including a Space-Time Whale's Spirit Soul, waves from the Space-Time River, a sufficiently old anchor point, and widespread fame.
• Lu Yuan worried that cultivating the Eternal Body of Years would make him follow a predetermined plan and leave him no longer himself, so he hesitated.

Lu Yuan weighed whether his life was being manipulated by the powerful being who called himself his Past Self, then chose to cultivate the Eternal Years Body. Above the Star River, the fishing man explained that he could not control Lu Yuan and was waiting for his future self to become ready to accept greater power; Lu Yuan’s cultivation stopped at Earth Supreme Completion.

• Lu Yuan questioned whether his life and powers had been arranged by his Past Self, but concluded that he could not know for certain.
• Lu Yuan opened the scroll and began cultivating the Eternal Years Body after reaching the introductory stage of the Primal Chaos World Body.
• A woman asked the fishing man above the Star River why he had not explained everything to Lu Yuan, and he said Lu Yuan’s mental state was not ready for more power.
• The fishing man explained that he could not control Lu Yuan because Lu Yuan was the escaped uncertainty beyond the Great Dao and Heavenly Dao.
• The woman said that only she and Yun Xiao remained outside while they checked for anything overlooked, and then she left.
• Lu Yuan mastered the Eternal Years Body, and his aura and cultivation rose until he reached Earth Supreme Completion.

Lu Yuan’s altered history had left the former Extraterrestrial Evil God Race known as the Saint Race, whose unified records preserved its agreement with the Years Master and the Immortal Emperor. The chapter explained how the Red Dust Threads protected Saint Race territory from invasion, leaving the Myriad Heavens with little choice but to respect its boundaries and trade rules.

• Lu Yuan’s changes reshaped history, while the Saint Race retained extensive records of its past and its agreement with the Years Master and the Immortal Emperor.
• The Saint Race observed the agreement and traded within designated boundaries to avoid violating the Years Master’s oath.
• The Red Dust Threads periodically cleansed Saint Race territory, killing intruders regardless of their allegiance.
• A reckless Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign who believed the Red Dust Threads spared the Myriad Heavens died during a cleansing.
• Saint Race Red Dust Walkers could trigger regional cleansings and endure the Threads briefly, but they could not alter the system Lu Yuan had created.
• The Myriad Heavens avoided occupying Saint Race territory, and the Saint Race announced upcoming cleansings so outsiders could leave or seek authorization to shelter in space.

The chapter explained the Holy Clan’s origins, evolution, and loss of leadership, then introduced a conference debating whether Lu Yuan was the Years Master’s successor and whether the Holy Clan should help him. The meeting ended with those questions unresolved.

• The narration described how varied beastlike ancestors evolved into the Holy Clan through adaptation and corruption by the Saint God Sequence.
• The narration explained that the First Generation Saint God had died and Heavenly Evil God, the Second Generation Saint God, had been sealed, leaving the Holy Clan without a leader.
• The Holy Clan established an alliance conference where Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereigns discussed difficult affairs.
• At a conference held more than five hundred years later, a Heavenly Devil Emperor raised doubts about whether Lu Yuan was the Years Master or his successor.
• The Heavenly Devil Emperor questioned whether the Holy Clan should help Lu Yuan, given the treaty against crossing the border and the risk of conflict or accusations from the Myriad Heavens.

The Holy Clan's Heavenly Devil Emperors debated whether Lu Yuan, the Years Master, was connected to their esteemed teacher and how they could contact him despite the Red Dust Threads and their curse. They agreed to ask allied Merchant Guilds to investigate and spread rumors, leaving each branch to gather intelligence by its own methods.

• A dog-eared Heavenly Devil Emperor urged the council to establish direct communication with Lu Yuan, while Hun Yuan argued that crossing the Red Dust Threads made contact dangerous.
• An anglerfish-like Heavenly Devil Emperor proposed sending Red Dust Walkers to the Myriad Heavens, but the council recognized their scarcity and the lasting environmental contamination they would cause.
• A shadowless Heavenly Devil Emperor suggested asking allied Merchant Guilds to obtain Lu Yuan's portrait or a recording and spread rumors to deter threats.
• The Heavenly Devil Emperors approved the Merchant Guild plan, then left each Holy Clan branch to gather intelligence independently.

The Holy Clan quietly gathered intelligence on Lu Yuan as its branches and the Merchant Guilds’ inquiries raised fears among the Myriad Heavens’ Heavenly Sovereigns of another war. Lu Yuan remained unaware of the growing tension and stood outside the Floating Tu Ancient Clan’s encampment, worrying about how its patriarch would receive him.

• The Holy Clan’s branches pursued scattered investigations into whether Lu Yuan was connected to the Years Master and considered the rewards of winning his favor.
• Merchant Guilds shared reports on the Myriad Heavens’ rising war preparations, including supplies and medicines being stockpiled.
• The Holy Clan’s repeated inquiries about Lu Yuan drew attention from merchants and intensified the Heavenly Sovereigns’ suspicions that the Holy Clan might exploit a conflict.
• The Heavenly Sovereigns recalled the devastating war with the Holy Clan and worried it might take advantage if the Endless Fire Territory and the Maha Ancient Clan weakened each other.
• Lu Yuan arrived outside the Floating Tu Ancient Clan’s encampment and wondered whether its patriarch, his old father-in-law, would attack him over what happened with Little Cabbage.

Lu Yuan considered how the Floating Tu Ancient Clan and Maha Ancient Clan might react to Qing Yan Jing’s Marriage Contract, concluding that her decision to delay it was the safest course. He trusted that the Floating Tu Ancient Clan could not force him to stay and believed Qing Yan Jing had left the Maha Ancient Clan no grounds to challenge her.

• Lu Yuan compared his strength with the Heavenly Sovereigns of the Floating Tu Ancient Clan and concluded he could fight his way out if they tried to detain him.
• Lu Yuan recalled that even the Nine Emperors could be threatened by a well-prepared opponent fighting on their home ground, but judged that no one in the Five Ancient Clans matched their level.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that Qing Yan Jing had refused to cancel her Marriage Contract because doing so could provoke an irreconcilable feud with the Maha Ancient Clan and make him a target.
• Lu Yuan considered how the Maha Ancient Clan might use a public challenge and accusations to turn the Marriage Contract dispute against Qing Yan Jing and the Floating Tu Ancient Clan.
• Lu Yuan approved of Qing Yan Jing’s condition that Maha Tian defeat Xiao Yan before she would marry him, since it let her postpone the marriage without giving the Maha Ancient Clan a valid complaint.
• Lu Yuan noted that Qing Yan Jing and he had not secretly been together, leaving the Maha Ancient Clan unable to prove any misconduct or force her to identify him.

Lu Yuan reflected on his powerlessness and the mystery of the Past Self who controlled his travels through time, then considered the strengths and history of the Five Ancient Clans while waiting outside the Floating Tu Ancient Clan. He remained uncertain about the Past Self’s purpose and prepared himself to face the clan.

• Lu Yuan concluded that his weakness left him unable to resist the Past Self or prevent himself from being sent across Timelines.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that the Past Self was unlikely to be a Future Self and wondered how their different places in the Timeline connected.
• Lu Yuan sat on a hill outside the Floating Tu Ancient Clan and recalled how Qing Qing Cang had been displaced after Qing Yan Jing chose Mu Feng in the original work.
• Lu Yuan compared the Five Ancient Clans, describing their relative strengths and the Tai Ling Ancient Clan’s advantages from accepting outsiders.
• Lu Yuan judged the Floating Tu Ancient Clan to be neither wholly virtuous nor thoroughly cruel, and continued waiting outside its clan land.

Lu Yuan weighed the conflict over Qing Yan Jing’s Marriage Contract and concluded that the Maha Ancient Clan’s strength made a peaceful resolution unlikely. He decided to visit the Floating Tu Ancient Clan to meet Qing Yan Jing, leaving the conflict with Maha Tian unresolved.

• Lu Yuan considered why Qing Yan Jing’s father would be angry and recognized that the Maha Ancient Clan would demand an explanation for the broken engagement.
• Lu Yuan reasoned that a weaker clan might accept the Marriage Contract as a gift and withdraw, but the powerful Maha Ancient Clan would not let the matter go easily.
• Lu Yuan compared his Earth Supreme cultivation with Maha Tian’s Spirit Grade Heavenly Sovereign realm and acknowledged that the gap put him at a disadvantage.
• Lu Yuan concluded that Qing Yan Jing, Maha Tian, and he had each acted within their rights, but the resulting conflict was difficult to resolve.
• Lu Yuan committed to visiting the Floating Tu Ancient Clan to meet Qing Yan Jing.
