As Gu Ce’s Chaos Law evolved, the Original Universe Consciousness brought him to the universe’s Origin Land, where he chose a point of light and witnessed scenes of cosmic creation and destruction. He returned with the Innate Secret Art Chaos Evolution, though the full memories of what he saw remained blocked.

• The Original Universe Consciousness sent Gu Ce back to his body and blocked most of his access to those memories until he grew stronger.
• Gu Ce learned that his Innate Secret Art, Chaos Evolution, could fuse the laws he had comprehended by burning most of his divine body, but required immense divine power.
