Chapter Summaries

Eternal Daoist and the other three Dao Ancestors fought Haiqin Dao Ancestor, whose larger Minor Chaos gave her an advantage in a prolonged battle. Eternal Daoist advanced during the fight and struck a decisive blow, forcing Haiqin and her opponents to leave the Primordial Dimension.

• The four Dao Ancestors combined their Ancestral Daos to overcome Haiqin Dao Ancestor’s enhanced sonic attacks, though Haiqin used her Dao Lords to strengthen her defenses.

• Eternal Daoist and the other three repeatedly destroyed Haiqin’s restored body, forcing her to flee the Primordial Dimension, and they followed her out.

Haiqin Dao Ancestor escaped the four invading small chaoses and revealed that an Outer Domain Dao Ancestor had advanced independently in battle. The Dao Ancestors suspected the Great Chaos Will had concealed their ability to grow and left the Great Chaos to discuss what to do, while Universe Dao Ancestor urged them to investigate further.

• Haiqin Dao Ancestor erased the invaders in her small chaos and severed four polluted Chaos Fragments, allowing her smaller small chaos to flee faster.
• Eternal Daoist, Yongxu Daoist, Daoist Wu Yun, and Daoist Kong Mo failed to refine their fragments and dragged them toward the Great Beginning Realm.

• Haiqin shared her memories, showing that the fighter’s Great Daos had risen from five hundred and three to five hundred and four, and Infinite Dao Ancestor declared it proof that they were slaves whose advancement had been restricted.
• Saint Heaven Dao Ancestor suspected the Great Chaos Will had issued its kill order to suppress the truth, while Universe Dao Ancestor urged the group to find the Outer Domain Dao Ancestors and verify the intelligence before deciding whether to abandon the Great Chaos.

Eternal Daoist and the others returned to the Great Beginning Realm with fragments taken from an Outer Domain Dao Ancestor’s Lesser Chaos, and Han Yuan refined the fragments into Origin Sources.

Nearby, Star River Dao Ancestor encountered six Nine Thousand Dao Ancestors searching for Eternal Dao Ancestor, who learned that his Great Chaos had only twelve Dao Ancestors.

• Star River Dao Ancestor said his Great Chaos had twelve Dao Ancestors, and the six visitors exchanged delighted looks.

Star River Dao Ancestor returned to the Great Beginning Realm and learned how the other Dao Ancestors had grown, while five foreign Dao Ancestor avatars infiltrated the Dao Shi Realm. Infinite Dao Ancestor destroyed his own Ancestral Dao to attempt another breakthrough, but nothing happened.

• Star River Dao Ancestor returned and learned that Daoist Wu Yun and others had grown by trading Chaos Fragments for Dao Ancestor Origin Source.

• Infinite destroyed his will and Ancestral Dao, then attempted to break through again, but felt no sign of a breakthrough.

Han Yuan helped the Infinite Dao Ancestor break through using 365 Dao Sources, and the newly born minor chaos dragged a 300-billion-light-year ownerless chaos corpse to the Hongmeng Entrance. Han Yuan refined the corpse into 30,913 Dao Sources, doubled them to 220,000, and returned the original amount to the Infinite Dao Ancestor.

Infinite Dao Ancestor broke through after entering the Great Chaos, gaining more than thirty thousand source shares and triggering the Great Chaos to expand.

Han Yuan reached the Origin Dao Realm and discovered that Hongmeng was actually nothingness, with the Dao Source creating existence and sustaining all things. After examining Jianmu, the Hongmeng Town Prison Stele, and the Random Dice, he turned his attention to understanding the die and developing small chaoses, while Huan Yu and three other Dao Ancestors cut themselves down at Hongmeng’s entrance.

Huan Yu and three other Dao Ancestors gave their Small Chaoses to Han Yuan, alarming the Primordial Great Chaos Will and prompting it to reclaim Dao Source from the remaining Dao Ancestors. Saint Heaven Dao Ancestor learned from Immortal Ancient Dao Ancestor that their Small Chaos origins had been secretly drained, and Immortal Ancient proposed serving the Great Chaos Will in hopes of gaining a breakthrough.

• Huan Yu severed his ties to everything but his incarnation, then he and three other Dao Ancestors handed their Small Chaoses to Han Yuan and received his bestowal.

• Han Yuan sensed dozens of minor Chaoses surrounding the Great Beginning Realm and realized they had come to cause trouble rather than submit.
• Han Yuan awakened Jinbao, gave her a leaf from Jianmu and a Dao Ancestor core formed from nine thousand Dao Sources, then sent her to handle the approaching Chaoses.
• Jinbao woke Wangcai and departed alone, while Han Yuan placed Wangcai in a secret realm filled with Dao Ancestor inheritances and Primordial Violet Qi.

Jinbao arrived at Hongmeng and announced the Great Beginning Origin Ancestor’s path to the Origin Dao Realm, along with rewards for hunting invading Dao Ancestors. The Dao Ancestors set out to hunt together, newly aware of a difficult path beyond their current realm.

• A Ruin Dao Ancestor suggested hunting their arriving old enemies, and the five Nine Thousand Dao Ancestors agreed to hunt together.

Once the thousand-year gathering ended, he and the other Dao Ancestors took a Chaos Supreme Treasure vessel into the Hongmeng.

He revealed that he planned to join the Primordial Great Chaos and bring them with him, but Jinbao kicked him through the Hongmeng Entrance before he could speak further.

• The Nirvana Dao Ancestor preached hundreds of complete Great Dao systems to the cultivators, and Li Qing focused on comprehending an ancestral Dao.

• Li Qing burned everything he possessed to condense the White Lotus Minor Chaos, then emerged to see thousands of Minor Chaoses forming around him.

Over ten thousand Dao Masters gathered at the Hongmeng Entrance, but Han Yuan temporarily held some back from breaking through while he recovered his origin source. Nirvana Dao Ancestor claimed his reward and used it to rebuild and greatly expand his small chaos, inspiring nearby Dao Ancestors to seek Primordial Dao Sources through plunder.
