• Gu Ce confirmed that the Soul-Enslaved Crystal Race Holy Master would continue leading his people, who became a vassal race of the Human Race.
• The Demon Race fled, while the Insectoid Race and Prison Race lost nearly all their Universe Masters, allowing humanity to seize their territories and begin expanding.
• Over the following centuries, Luo Feng broke through to the Universe Master realm and resurrected Hu Yanbo, while Venerable Lianyi also reached that realm.

• The Two-Faced Ancestral God said the Original Universe’s source will wanted the three conspirators dead and believed humanity, especially Gu Ce and Luo Feng, could eventually kill them.

Gu Ce secured the Original Universe Will’s support for humanity, settled the Human Race’s new territory, and returned to the Universe Sea with Lord Ripple and Su Mu. After sending his companions to explore the Universe Boat’s outer region, he prepared to cultivate in a location where time flowed up to ten million times faster.

• Gu Ce combined his will-based time acceleration with Boundless Void, reaching three millionfold acceleration before deciding he needed the inheritance space to sustain deeper cultivation.
• Gu Ce searched Wanlin Territory and found that one of its two remaining Myriad Heart Original Soul Woods had been taken, while the last one was still untouched.

As Luo Feng awaited Haolei Star Lord, North True Star Lord arrived with an offer to trade inheritance memories and a congratulatory gift for the Human Race.

• Gu Ce recognized Qiu Yan Ancestral God, who had come to support Haolei Star Lord, and attacked him with Flowing Light Realm.

• Gu Ce combined his domains with a ninth-tier Cang Mie strike, reducing Qiu Yan Ancestral God’s divine body to about seventy percent.
• Gu Ce told Qiu Yan Ancestral God that he was targeting him because of the Sector Beasts, then teleported close and continued attacking as Qiu Yan Ancestral God tried to resist.

After helping secure Human Race territory, Gu Ce ventured deeper into the Universe Boat in search of a distant treasure vault. In the Jade Palace, his avatar discovered a faint consciousness hidden in the Buddha statues, and the palace’s light suddenly vanished.

• Gu Ce and Luo Feng parted ways in Huangxuan Domain, with Luo Feng heading toward Qingfeng Realm to seek Lord Peixing and possibly King Zhen Jia.

• The light in the Jade Palace vanished as Gu Ce became alert to the hidden consciousness.

Gu Ce encountered Shanlin Buddha, a remnant consciousness in the Jade Palace, and agreed to return the Coriander Tribe’s Proselytization Palace to the Origin Continent in exchange for his inheritance and other rewards. Shanlin Buddha also warned him of a great secret within Liuchong Mountain before preparing to make Gu Ce the palace’s master.

• Gu Ce called for the Coriander Tribe senior, and a Buddha statue named Shanlin Buddha appeared and questioned how Gu Ce knew the Origin Continent’s language.
• Shanlin Buddha explained that the Jade Palace was his Proselytization Palace and that his consciousness had persisted in the Universe Sea for over a thousand Reincarnation Eras.

• Shanlin Buddha told Gu Ce the Proselytization Palace would guide him toward the Coriander Tribe and led him to recognize the palace as his master.

• Gu Ce followed Shanlin Buddha into Jade Palace, where Shanlin explained that Gu Ce lacked the will strength needed to claim it and asked him to return the palace to the Coriander Tribe.
• Shanlin Buddha described the Coriander Tribe's paths of spiritual cultivation—suffering, joy, and perseverance—and Gu Ce chose perseverance.
• Shanlin Buddha took Gu Ce to Jade Palace's Spiritual Baptism room, where Gu Ce could temper his spirit and will before the Reincarnation Era ended.

• Gu Ce endured Buddhist chants and crushing will pressure in the Jade Palace chamber as Shanlin Buddha warned that failure could turn him into a Fanatic Follower.

• Su told Gu Ce to take all the armory’s weapons and armor and warned him that the Coriander Tribe’s cultivation methods could turn him into a Fanatic Follower.

• Gu Ce’s true body and Energy Avatar opened their eyes after his will broke through to the Void True God level.

• Gu Ce broke through to Void True God-level will, qualifying him to recognize Jade Palace as his master.
• Shanlin Buddha led Gu Ce to Jade Palace’s core and warned him that its independent spirit might obstruct the recognition.

• After five hundred years, Gu Ce successfully recognized Jade Palace as his master and discovered that Shanlin Buddha’s consciousness had vanished.

After breaking through his willpower and claiming the Jade Palace, Gu Ce left his secluded cultivation and encountered a battle between Dream Profound Star Lord and a mysterious, heavily armed expert. Sensing the aura of a ghost on the stranger, Gu Ce connected him to Shanlin Buddha’s warning and prepared to intervene.

• Gu Ce completed his willpower breakthrough, claimed the Jade Palace, and decided to leave the Black Patterned Stone Pillar Space to retrieve it and his Energy Avatar from Liuchong Mountain’s core region.

• Gu Ce arrived near the fight, and Hengxing Demon God moved away from him while other experts watched.
• Gu Ce sensed a ghost’s aura on the mysterious expert, recalled Shanlin Buddha’s warning, and decided not to let him leave easily.
