Gu Ce and Luo Feng entered Qishen Hall through separate passages and discovered they had to comprehend the passages’ secret patterns to proceed.

Gu Ce found Wanlin Primal God while searching Wanlin Territory for the Myriad Heart Original Soul Wood, then negotiated an exchange using a mysterious piece of black divine wood.

• Gu Ce explained that the Treasure Snatching Technique could use Lianhua Ancient City to bind ownerless Supreme Treasures or seize treasures with owners, and he taught the technique to Luo Feng as a secret of the Earth Lineage and Lianhua Clan.
• Gu Ce and Luo Feng decided to leave the Original Universe for the Universe Sea, while Gu Ce planned to study the secret patterns on the Divine Might Thunder Prison.
• Gu Ce's Starflow Sea Avatar returned to Human Territory, where other Universe Masters hoped he would let Great Axe Founder use Lianhua Ancient City; Great Axe Founder instead focused on obtaining an Axe-type Supreme Treasure.
• Ten years later, Gu Ce brought Luo Feng to the Toya Black Hole and then toward the Hong Alliance's gathering place in Qingfeng Realm's Outer Domain.
• Wanlin Primal God waited in Wanlin Territory for Gu Ce to deliver the Mysterious Item Black Wood, hoping to find a way for plant lifeforms to grow stronger.

Gu Ce helped the Great Axe Founder ambush and kill Wanlin Primal God, using Boundless Void to trap him while the Great Axe Founder tested his new Supreme Treasure. They collected Wanlin Primal God’s seven Peak Supreme Treasures and began choosing what to keep for themselves and the Human Race.

• Wanlin Primal God waited for the Great Axe Founder to arrive, believing he would bring the Mysterious Item.

• Gu Ce reinforced Boundless Void and suppressed Wanlin Primal God while the Great Axe Founder struck him repeatedly with increasingly powerful axe techniques.

• Gu Ce and the Great Axe Founder inspected Wanlin Primal God’s seven Peak Supreme Treasures, and the Great Axe Founder told Gu Ce to choose two and return the rest to the Human Race.

Gu Ce divided Wanlin Primal God's Supreme Treasures, gave the Star Abyss Armor to his Starflow Sea Avatar, and explored the Qingfeng Realm with Luo Feng. Near the main mountain, Luo Feng sensed a faint summons from Wu's Wing coming from deep beneath the water.

• Gu Ce chose the Arbor Hall and Star Abyss Armor from Wanlin Primal God's relics, while Great Axe Founder accepted the remaining treasures and found the location of three Myriad Heart Original Soul Woods.
• Gu Ce and Great Axe Founder dug up one Myriad Heart Original Soul Wood, then left the Wanlin Territory together after deciding the Human Race could not spare forces to guard it.
• Gu Ce encountered Luo Feng and his Starflow Sea Avatar, gave the avatar the Star Abyss Armor, and the two explored the Outer Domain of Qingfeng Realm, fighting Universe Masters and gaining experience.
• Gu Ce and Luo Feng approached the Qingfeng Realm Main Mountain, where Luo Feng felt Wu's Wing faintly calling from deep within the water region.
• Gu Ce urged Luo Feng to investigate the summons by going down into the water.

Luo Feng and Gu Ce followed Wu's Wing's summons through dangerous waters to a cave containing another wing component. After discovering deadly blade storms beyond the ninth light curtain, they entered the Star Tower and shrank it to safely press onward toward the treasure.

• Gu Ce told Luo Feng that Wu's Wing might be a treasure beyond Supreme Treasures, then used an avatar to explore the cave and found lethal blade storms past its ninth light curtain.
• Gu Ce and Luo Feng entered the Star Tower, while Gu Ce left a Starflow Sea Avatar behind to guard their retreat.
• Luo Feng piloted the Star Tower into the vast space, where blade storms battered and flung it around.
• Gu Ce told Luo Feng to shrink the Star Tower, and its dust-sized form weathered the storms as they continued toward the wing.

After Anyong Master fell near Qingfeng Realm Waters, the Divine Eye Race sent Jiayu Master and two others to investigate. Jiayu Master found a hidden cave and encountered Gu Ce guarding the entrance to a treasure-filled Wing Space, where Jiayu prepared to claim the treasure.

• The Divine Eye Race’s upper ranks ordered Jiayu Master, Buzhen Master, and Suinian Master to investigate the waters where Anyong Master had fallen.
• Jiayu Master searched the seabed, discovered a cave with a faint energy fluctuation, and entered it inside his Blue Ball Palace-type Supreme Treasure.
• After passing through eight light screens, Jiayu Master found Gu Ce in the cave and concluded that the place was not where Anyong Master had fallen.
• Jiayu Master questioned Gu Ce, who identified him and said the Supreme Treasure lay beyond the light screen but he could not obtain it.
• Jiayu Master, eager to claim the treasure before Buzhen Master and Suinian Master arrived, accepted Gu Ce’s invitation to move forward.

Gu Ce and Luo Feng approached the White Wing, whose spirit tried to recruit Gu Ce by offering mastery in exchange for a Peak Supreme Treasure. As Divine Eye Race masters closed in, Gu Ce arranged for Luo Feng to claim the Winged Supreme Treasure and sought help from Chaos City Lord, while Suinian Master and Buzhen Master reached the Wing Space entrance.

• Luo Feng used the Star Tower to try to move the White Wing, but it remained immovable, and the Wing Spirit contacted Gu Ce instead of Luo Feng.
• The Wing Spirit offered to acknowledge Gu Ce as its master if he supplied a Peak Supreme Treasure, while Gu Ce learned that Jiayu Master had entered the Wing Space and been killed.

• Gu Ce told Chaos City Lord what had happened, and Chaos City Lord headed toward his location to help.
• Suinian Master and Buzhen Master found Jiayu Master's mark and entered the Wing Space, expecting to confront a powerful Special Life.

Gu Ce confronted Buzhen Master and Suinian Master in the cave, using the Starflow Sea Avatar and his newly acquired treasures to overwhelm them. After Suinian Master recognized Gu Ce’s immense divine body, Buzhen Master dropped his shield, giving Gu Ce an opening to use the Treasure Snatching Technique.

• Gu Ce decided to personally eliminate Buzhen Master and Suinian Master rather than seal the cave entrance.
• Buzhen Master and Suinian Master entered Gu Ce’s Starflow Sea Avatar and left their Palace Supreme Treasure to attack him.
• Gu Ce used Divine Might Thunder Prison and Star Abyss Armor, but Buzhen Master blocked his attacks with a Peak Treasure shield while Suinian Master countered his domain.
• Gu Ce entered Star Abyss State and burned the Starflow Sea Avatar’s divine power, revealing that his immense reserves could replenish his losses.
• Suinian Master warned Buzhen Master that Gu Ce’s divine body resembled Lord of Nine Nether, then Buzhen Master dropped his shield and Gu Ce activated Lianhua Ancient City and the Treasure Snatching Technique.

Gu Ce killed Buzhen Master and drove Suinian Master into the Wing Space, though Suinian Master escaped with his Palace-type Supreme Treasure. The Divine Eye Race identified Gu Ce as Lord Void Realm and issued a bounty for him while warning its Universe Masters to avoid him.

• Gu Ce used the Divine Might Thunder Prison and the stolen round shield to kill Buzhen Master, then collected his Supreme Treasures.
• Suinian Master escaped the lightning inside a Palace-type Supreme Treasure, but Gu Ce blocked his retreat with Lianhua Ancient City and forced him toward the Wing Space.
• Suinian Master fled into the Wing Space, and Gu Ce abandoned the pursuit rather than risk entering the dangerous passage.
• The Divine Eye Race's True Lords learned that Gu Ce had killed Buzhen Master and Suinian Master, identified his Starflow Sea Avatar and Lianhua inheritance, and ordered a public bounty of five Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasures.
• The Divine Eye Race warned its Universe Masters to keep their distance from Lord Void Realm and contact the True Lords if they encountered him.

After reaching the White Wing, Luo Feng discovered a hidden passage that led through Qingfeng Realm’s fiery depths to a sand-grain space containing a Universe Boat token and a Silk Thread Map.

• Luo Feng found a cyan Universe Boat token and a Silk Thread Map, and he and Gu Ce each picked one up.
• Jie Fanzi and Zhen Lin appeared on the rock wall and introduced themselves.

Gu Ce arrived at the Universe Boat and joined the Human Race expedition preparing to explore its dangerous inner region. After sixteen Universe Masters of the Hong Alliance gathered and Great Axe Founder arrived, the group set out, while Luo Feng was due to come later.

• Gu Ce reached the Universe Boat, witnessed its immense power and the damaged Miniature Universe it was devouring, then teleported to the human gathering place.
• Ice Peak Master met Gu Ce and explained that Luo Feng had contributed the Universe Boat map to the race, leading the Human Race to organize a joint expedition.
• Ice Peak Master warned Gu Ce to stay near human experts because the Divine Eye Race was hunting him, and Lord Xujin and Lord Zhenma were astonished that Gu Ce had brought his avatar to explore.
• After nearly a month, sixteen Universe Masters of the Hong Alliance gathered, and Great Axe Founder arrived before the group departed for the inner region.

Gu Ce piloted the Arbor Hall through the Universe Boat toward the Heaven-reaching Demon Pillar and entered the perilous God Annihilation Ravine. There he clashed with Yin Tuo, who mistook him for Wanlin Primal God, before two more figures appeared before him.

• Gu Ce crossed the Universe Boat’s dangerous regions in the Arbor Hall, using its defenses to withstand the hazards along his route.
• Gu Ce entered God Annihilation Ravine, where nine indestructible Lava Demon Gods made the passage exceptionally dangerous.
• Yin Tuo mistook the Arbor Hall for Wanlin Primal God’s and blocked Gu Ce’s way; Gu Ce rammed him while suppressing him with the Endless Rippling Domain.
• Yin Tuo transformed into a Golden Beast God to endure the collision, then attacked the Arbor Hall but could not slow it or damage it.
• Yin Tuo spotted a damaged Palace-type Supreme Treasure and abandoned his pursuit of Gu Ce to claim it.
• Two figures appeared before Gu Ce and called out, “Arbor Hall? Wanlin Primal God?”

Gu Ce was caught between Five Huns Master and Lord Jiujian and a Lava Demon God emerging from the magma sea. When all nine Lava Demon Gods appeared and pursued Gu Ce alone, they shattered Boundless Void with a single strike, leaving him badly shaken.

• Five Huns Master and Lord Jiujian identified Gu Ce as Lord Void Realm and attacked Arbor Hall, with Five Huns Master summoning his enormous five-colored palm.
• Nine Lava Demon Gods emerged from the magma sea, and their simultaneous stomps collapsed the Underground Maze and cut off the escape route.
• The Lava Demon Gods ignored Five Huns Master and Lord Jiujian and charged after Gu Ce, who fled in Arbor Hall while Five Huns Master laughed at his predicament.
• Gu Ce used Boundless Void to teleport away, but a pursuing Lava Demon God struck the domain and shattered it, nearly knocking Gu Ce unconscious.

Gu Ce was trapped in God Annihilation Ravine by the Nine Lava Demon Gods, while his allies assumed his true body was doomed. A hidden remnant soul recognized his aura and decided to give him a chance to survive.

• The Nine Lava Demon Gods sealed God Annihilation Ravine and seized Gu Ce inside Arbor Hall as Five Huns Master and Lord Jiujian escaped through the lava.
• A Lava Demon God crushed Yin Tuo, leaving Gu Ce alone among the Nine Lava Demon Gods.
• Gu Ce told Ice Peak Master and Chaos City Lord that the Lava Demon Gods had surrounded him without attacking, while they warned him that the Divine Eye Race also threatened him and Great Axe was coming to retrieve his treasures.
• A hidden remnant soul sensed Gu Ce's aura, judged his abilities, and decided to let him try for a chance at survival.
