Han Yuan gave Hu Chong the location of an innate formation, claiming it held a high-grade Innate Supreme Treasure, while concealing the formation’s true scale. Hu Chong discovered that the treasure could grow into a Chaos Spirit Treasure and found another matching formation, with hundreds more star paths still to investigate.

• Han Yuan decided to avoid competing for a Mid-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure and contacted Hu Chong through the Light of Guidance.
• Han Yuan told Hu Chong he had found an innate formation and offered him its location in exchange for a share of the treasure’s value.
• Hu Chong entered the Zhou Tian Realm and found a Top-grade Innate Supreme Treasure inside the formation, which could continue growing into a Chaos Spirit Treasure.
• Hu Chong traced the formation’s star paths to another planet and discovered a second formation containing another Top-grade Innate Supreme Treasure.

Hu Chong discovered that Zhou Tian Realm concealed a Mid-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure, paid Han Yuan for the information, and helped him transfer to the Ancient Dragon Realm. Meanwhile, Mo Wuhui repelled Lincoln’s group with his Merit Golden Body, but the group discovered they could not use their Space-Time Worm to return home.

• Hu Chong found three hundred and sixty-five Top-grade Innate Supreme Treasures in Zhou Tian Realm and realized they could form a Mid-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure.
• Hu Chong paid Han Yuan three hundred strands of Primordial Violet Qi for the treasure information, and Han Yuan swore not to trade it with anyone else.
• Han Yuan asked to change his assigned Great World, and Hu Chong arranged for him to leave Zhou Tian Realm and guard the Ancient Dragon Realm.
• Mo Wuhui told Lincoln that he had killed the outsiders’ people, but their attacks failed against his Merit Golden Body, so Lincoln ordered the group to retreat.
• Beite tried to use the Space-Time Worm to return to their territory, but it could not find the way back.

Lincoln and his companions found that they were trapped in the Great Su Realm after crossing its boundary through the chaos. Meanwhile, Linley expanded his treasure business in the Starry Sky Marketplace, sold nearly all his goods, and drew several groups that began following him through the River of Time and Space.

• Beite opened a space-time passage, but Lincoln and the others remained nearby, so they fled through the chaos instead.
• The group crossed a light membrane into a familiar star sea on the opposite side of the Great Su Realm, and Beite realized they were trapped.
• Han Yuan observed that more than a hundred Saints had vanished from Taigu City and that over a hundred loan contracts had appeared in the Primordial Money House.
• Linley displayed sixty Innate Supreme Treasures at Lightning's Little Shop, and Hu Mojun and three other Saints bought most of them.
• Linley sold his remaining treasures, gathered seven thousand five hundred strands of Primordial Violet Qi, and escaped into the River of Time and Space.
• Several groups followed Linley, and Hu Mojun asked Hu Ersheng whether pursuing him was risky as Hu Ersheng watched Linley ahead.

Linley reached Taigu City, but the Saints pursuing him mistook the immense River of Time and Space for proof that the city was backed by a supreme power. After Linley explained the city's shops and limited rules, Hu Ersheng and Hu Mojun entered Taigu City to investigate.

• Linley crossed the River of Time and Space and entered Taigu City, relieved that his warning mirror showed no pursuers nearby.
• Hu Ersheng and Hu Mojun arrived at the city and speculated that its massive tributary belonged to a top-tier Great Luo Realm ruled by a powerful expert.
• Four more groups of pursuers arrived and hesitated outside Taigu City, intimidated by its appearance.
• Linley emerged through a side gate, saw more than twenty people watching him, and tried to retreat before Hu Mojun called him over.
• Linley told Hu Ersheng that Taigu City had three shops and that leaving required a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi, while other rules remained unknown.
• Hu Ersheng and Hu Mojun entered Taigu City and saw its three prominent shops and the City Lord's Mansion.

Han Yuan split his Primordial Violet Qi between his own cultivation and the Great Su Realm, where the scattered qi appeared as opportunities for Quasi-Saints. Bai Xianjushi obtained one strand, refined it, and sensed the Saint Realm bottleneck for the first time.

• Han Yuan multiplied one hundred thousand strands of Primordial Violet Qi, reached the peak of the Saint Realm in the Great Su Zhenjie Dao, and found that rapidly cultivating the Time and Space Great Daos consumed qi at an enormous rate.
• Han Yuan read Linley’s cultivation notebook, realized that using Primordial Violet Qi to cultivate quickly was costly and could weaken his foundation, and divided his remaining qi between himself and the Great Su Realm.
• Tens of millions of years later, Bai Xianjushi saw a purple flash in the Sea of Stars and pursued it after his Dao Fruit stirred.
• Bai Xianjushi learned that the purple light was Primordial Violet Qi, froze three rival Quasi-Saints with Congealing Domain, and claimed the strand.
• Bai Xianjushi hid in a cave abode and refined the Primordial Violet Qi; ten years later, he sensed the Saint Realm bottleneck and released a blaze of purple light.

Bai Xianjushi became a Saint during a wave of mass sainthood, then discovered Taigu City after falling in battle and used its resources to return to the living world. Han Yuan watched Saints repeatedly borrow equipment and treasures from the city to fight again, confident their debts would bring him more workers.

• Bai Xianjushi attained Sainthood alongside hundreds of others as more than ten thousand Saints emerged, and the number of Saints later grew to over a million.
• Hundred Idle Saint fell and wandered the River of Time and Space, where he discovered Taigu City and entered it.
• Hundred Idle Saint acquired a purple card and a mid-grade Innate Supreme Treasure in Taigu City, recovered his strength, and returned to present time and space.
• Hundred years later, Bai Xianjushi led several hundred Saint-realm True Spirits into Taigu City to equip themselves before returning to battle.
• Another group of more than a thousand Saints borrowed resources from the Primordial Money House, Chaos Treasury, and Great Dao Hall before charging back out.
• Han Yuan explained to Wangcai that the Saints’ debts would eventually provide service personnel for Taigu City, while Jinbao asked for subordinates.

After a million years, Linley returned to a vastly expanded Taigu City and profited by buying up its cheap Saint Realm goods. The city's prosperity attracted a Luotian Dao Venerable, prompting Han Yuan to send a Jianmu Clone to meet the newcomer.

• Hundred Idle Saint showed Linley Taigu City's new Ancient Battlefield, Dao Evolution Pavilions, and shops.
• Linley bought all thirty thousand pills in one shop, then swept through more than ninety shops for pills, talismans, and Formation Treasures.
• Linley's purchases enriched Great Su Realm Saints and encouraged many indebted residents to become skill masters.
• More Saints from the Dao Shi Realm arrived and joined the growing trade in Taigu City.
• A Luotian Dao Venerable arrived, and Han Yuan sent a Jianmu Clone into Taigu City, where they met by chance in a tavern.

Han Yuan met Eternal, a powerful Eternal True Dragon born from the Chaos River of Time and Space, and invited him to settle in Taigu City. Eternal explained the river’s nature and warned that the city’s growing population might attract hostile native Saint Spirits.

• Han Yuan and Eternal tested each other’s power through a brief exchange of gazes, then introduced themselves in a tavern in Taigu City.
• Han Yuan invited Eternal to stay in the city, and Eternal accepted after finding its bustling streets appealing.
• Han Yuan created a manor in the eastern part of Taigu City for Eternal.
• Eternal explained that the Chaos River of Time and Space carried the past, present, and future of worlds and served as a route through chaos.
• Eternal warned Han Yuan that native Saint Spirits who opposed outsiders might attack as more foreign Saints gathered in the city.

Han Yuan learned that native Saint Spirits and Origin Source bandits threatened Taigu City, then faced the Space-Time Bandit Alliance when its leader, Dao Venerable Wan Zai, attacked. Han Yuan’s World Projection trapped Wan Zai across time and space, leaving their clash in a stalemate.

• Eternal Daoist warned Han Yuan that Origin Source bandits might target Taigu City, and Han Yuan vowed to defeat any who came.
• A member of the Space-Time Bandit Alliance spotted Taigu City’s valuable goods, bought some, and hurried away to report it to the alliance leader.
• Over ten thousand years, Taigu City prospered, Han Yuan grew stronger, and many cultivators in the Great Su Realm attained sainthood.
• Dao Venerable Wan Zai arrived at Taigu City with the Space-Time Bandit Alliance and attacked after seeing no Luotian grand formation or known Luotian Dao Venerable there.
• Han Yuan’s World Projection descended and locked onto Wan Zai across time and space, while their clash swept the other saints from the vessel into the river currents.

Han Yuan defeated Dao Venerable Wan Zai and sealed him inside the Great Su Realm, though he could not kill him while possible futures still existed. Han Yuan then retrieved the Low-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure from the River of Time and Space.

• Dao Venerable Wan Zai realized Han Yuan was a dangerous opponent who wielded the Space-Time Luo Tian Great Dao.
• Han Yuan summoned the Great Su Realm Projection and thirteen stars, shattering Wan Zai's Chaos Spirit Treasure sword and striking his Luotian Dao Fruit with a stellar sword.
• Han Yuan turned the stellar sword into a Spacetime Vortex that swallowed Wan Zai and trapped his counterparts across spacetime within the Great Su Realm.
• Han Yuan restrained Wan Zai beneath a formation of thirteen star projections and countless Great Dao mountains, but could not kill him because he still existed in possible futures.
• Han Yuan entered the River of Time and Space and retrieved the Low-grade Chaos Spirit Treasure from the spacetime of one world.

Han Yuan defeated Dao Venerable Wan Zai, whose attack on Taigu City ended almost instantly, and reassured Eternal Daoist that the city was safe. After Eternal Daoist left to invite two friends, Han Yuan turned back to refining the Chaos Spirit Treasure and suppressing Wan Zai.

• Taigu City's residents found survivors of the Great Bandit Alliance emerging from the River of Time and Space, defeated them, and learned their leader had tried to attack the city.
• Han Yuan told Eternal Daoist he had subdued Wan Zai, and Eternal Daoist praised his strength and said other raiding groups would avoid Taigu City for now.
• Eternal Daoist asked to invite two unattached cultivator friends to Taigu City, and Han Yuan welcomed them.
• Eternal Daoist vanished by greatly accelerating his own time, and Han Yuan secretly deducted ten thousand Primordial Coins from his Primordial Card.
• Eternal Daoist noticed the deduction, recognized Han Yuan's hidden ability, and flew toward the Dao Shi Realm to recruit his friends.
• After Eternal Daoist departed, Han Yuan brought out the Chaos Spirit Treasure longsword and placed it inside Jianmu to erase Wan Zai's true spirit imprint.

Han Yuan refined Chaos Green Mountain, turned four copies into new Chaos Spirit Treasures, and negotiated Dao Venerable Wan Zai’s surrender in exchange for valuable methods, scriptures, and currency. After learning how Primordial Spirit Crystals were made, Han Yuan began crafting furnaces to produce them from the Heavenly Dao Origin of dying worlds.

• Han Yuan cleansed and refined Chaos Green Mountain, then used the purple die to multiply it into five low-grade treasures.
• Han Yuan gave four mountains to the Saint Heaven Realm’s Heavenly Dao, which transformed them into the Chaos Bell, Chaos Silk, Chaos Cloud, and Chaos Well for the Chaos Treasury.
• Han Yuan negotiated with Dao Venerable Wan Zai, who agreed to provide his techniques, scriptures, and currency and release his Dao essence to challenge Saints for one hundred epochs.
• Han Yuan and Dao Venerable Wan Zai signed a Primordial Oath, and Han Yuan established a dangerous challenge world around Wan Zai.
• Han Yuan received Wan Zai’s promised treasures and learned that Primordial Spirit Crystals were refined from Heavenly Dao Origin.
• Han Yuan began crafting toad-shaped Crystal Casting Furnaces to convert the origins of dying worlds into Primordial Spirit Crystals.

Han Yuan tested a quality-doubled Crystal Casting Furnace and greatly increased his supply of Primordial Spirit Crystals. Meanwhile, Hu Ersheng returned to Taigu City with a scouting party and found it had grown into a thriving city, prompting them to investigate how it operated.

• Han Yuan discovered that the quality-doubled No. 1 Crystal Casting Furnace produced complete Primordial Spirit Qi a hundred times faster than an ordinary furnace at the same cost, then transferred its output to Primordial Money House's vault.
• Hu Ersheng brought seven or eight companions to Taigu City to study its business model on behalf of their sect.
• Hu Ersheng and his companions entered Taigu City and were stunned to find its population had grown to more than ten million Saint Realm cultivators.
• Hu Ersheng led the group to the Chaos Treasury, where Jinbao kept curious onlookers outside unless they intended to buy something.
• A Sage told Hu Ersheng that Dao Venerable Wan Zai's band had been destroyed by Taigu City's lord, making the city a safe place for Sages to settle.
• Sage Kui Niu concluded that a city needed a Saint Venerable to protect it, while Hu Ersheng recognized that Taigu City's prosperity required further investigation.

Hu Ersheng and Sage Kui Niu explored Taigu City’s Chaos Treasury and discovered its cheap treasures and newly offered Space-Time Ships. They then entered the Eternal Dao Collection, where the small collection of scriptures left them unimpressed.

• Hu Ersheng and Sage Kui Niu examined the Chaos Treasury’s goods and saw that four Chaos Spirit Treasures were available for purchase.
• Saint Venerable Jin Niu secretly observed the treasury through Sage Kui Niu and noted its offerings.
• Linley bought a deluxe Top-grade Space-Time Ship for two hundred million Primordial Coins, prompting Saints to buy ships until all one hundred sold out.
• Hu Ersheng and his group bought several Innate Supreme Treasures and left to investigate more of Taigu City.
• Hu Ersheng and Sage Kui Niu entered the Eternal Dao Collection and learned it held only three thousand and three scripture volumes.

Hu Ersheng and the others explored Taigu City, learning how its Great Dao Crystal trade and time-accelerated cultivation worked before visiting the Luotian Ancient Realm. They left with a clearer understanding of the city and returned to report.

• Hu Ersheng and Sage Kui Niu examined the Great Dao Hall and discussed how Taigu City produced and traded Great Dao Crystals.
• Hu Ersheng deduced that Taigu City used time acceleration and contracts to produce crystals, while Sage Kui Niu proposed capturing Saints to make them refine crystals.
• Hu Ersheng noticed Golden Ox Dao Venerable on Sage Kui Niu's shoulder, and Golden Ox Dao Venerable silently told him not to reveal himself.
• Hu Ersheng and the others heard Saints praise the Luotian Ancient Realm's treasures and Dao essence, then bought tickets and entered.
• Golden Ox Dao Venerable sensed that a Dao Venerable powered the realm's Dao essence and concealed his aura; Hu Ersheng and the others later left and returned to report on Taigu City.

Han Yuan left Fairy Cold Moon in charge of Taigu City’s internal affairs while limiting its business to the city itself. Meanwhile, the Myriad Monster Sect opened Myriad Monster City with a broader range of services, and Golden Ox Dao Venerable tasked Hu Ersheng and Sage Kui Niu with making it a major industry for the sect.

• Fairy Cold Moon reported Taigu City’s rising revenue and warned Han Yuan that rival factions were spying on the city and might compete with it.
• Han Yuan set Taigu City’s daily fixed cost at ten billion Primordial Coins and told Fairy Cold Moon to focus on gathering Primordial Violet Qi and managing the city’s interior.
• Han Yuan rejected Fairy Cold Moon’s plans for remote sales and transportation, explaining that Taigu City would not pursue business outside its walls.
• Several cities rose along tributaries of the Chaos River of Time and Space, including the Myriad Monster Sect’s Myriad Monster City, which offered services such as treasure-ship rentals and freight transport.
• Golden Ox Dao Venerable told Hu Ersheng and Sage Kui Niu to manage Myriad Monster City well and make it a pillar industry of the sect.

Han Yuan reached entry level in the Space-Time Luo Tian Great Dao and discovered how it could create stable worlds connected to the Chaos River of Time and Space. During sudden enlightenment, he used Jianmu’s Self-Contained Space-Time ability to alter the Great Su Realm’s River of Time and Space, leaving him shocked by the transformation and a dark violet die appearing.

• Han Yuan spent Primordial Violet Qi deciphering the first page of the Space-Time Luo Tian Dao Scripture and reached entry level in the Space-Time Luo Tian Great Dao.
• Han Yuan opened a stable miniature world with the Space-Time Great Dao, then struggled to create an unstable world with the Five Elements Great Dao.
• Han Yuan realized the Chaos River of Time and Space connected to both miniature worlds, though he could not tell when the connection formed.
• Han Yuan entered sudden enlightenment and saw the Great Su Realm’s River of Time and Space connect to the Chaos River and an unknown land through one hundred and eight Space-Time Chains.
• Han Yuan activated Self-Contained Space-Time, broke one hundred and seven chains, and bent most of the Great Su Realm’s River of Time and Space into a circular ring.
• Han Yuan emerged from enlightenment, saw that one hundred and seven river channels had joined into a lake hanging from the remaining channel, and noticed a dark violet die appear.

Han Yuan became the master of the Great Su Realm’s closed River of Time and Space, gaining control over its parallel space-times and discovering that they could be used both to threaten and protect him. He destroyed Yongxu Daoist’s invasions across thousands of parallel realms, then began resolving the remaining troubles as those realms returned to the present.

• Han Yuan’s random buff multiplied his River of Time and Space Master effect by six, severing the Great Su Realm’s connection to the Chaos River of Time and Space and completing its loop.
• Han Yuan realized that parallel space-times could be exploited to attack the present, then used his new authority to resolve crises across them and deepen his Space-Time Great Dao.
• Han Yuan discovered Yongxu Daoist devastating Jianmu in a parallel realm, shattered that space-time, and trapped Yongxu Daoist there until he perished.
• Han Yuan found thousands of Eternal True Dragons identifying themselves as Yongxu and destroyed their parallel space-times as well.
• Han Yuan saw the parallel realms reconstruct, absorb the fallen Luotian Dao Venerables’ power, and strengthen Jianmu before the realms synchronized with the present and overlapped back into it.
