Chapter Summaries

Han Yuan struggled against a powerful Creation Dao Realm opponent and sought to strengthen his combat power by developing the Taiyi Small Primordial. He summoned its Origin Dao Realm Perfection cultivators to meet and began arranging rewards for those who helped it grow.

• Han Yuan realized his opponent had the advantage but held back from using Dice because the fight had not yet reached a life-or-death point.
• Han Yuan sent his consciousness to the Tai Yi Origin World, where Fairy Cold Moon reported on the town’s many visitors, factions, and newly born Origin Dao Realm cultivators.
• Han Yuan ordered a task that would reward cultivators with Yi Numbers for nurturing new Origin Dao Realm and Creation Dao Realm cultivators, and asked Fairy Cold Moon to summon all 183 Origin Dao Realm Perfection cultivators.
• Fairy Cold Moon arranged a banquet, and all 183 summoned cultivators arrived within half a shichen.

Han Yuan summoned 183 Origin Dao Realm Perfection cultivators and offered to nurture them into Creation Dao Realm subordinates by tempering their willpower. The oldest cultivator broke through, creating an Origin World linked to Tai Yi Origin World and doubling Han Yuan’s Origin World bonus and Tai Yi Rule domain strength.

• Han Yuan examined the 183 cultivators’ histories and spiritual cultivation, then revealed himself and offered to help them reach the Creation Dao Realm as his subordinates.
• Han Yuan transported the cultivators to an independent space and explained how to use nine Will Stone Pillars to temper their willpower.
• The cultivators advanced toward the pillars as Han Yuan adjusted the shocks to train each of their minds, and two epochs of cultivation passed.
• Han Yuan focused on the three strongest cultivators, including the one who had lived through seven Hong Wheels, as they neared breakthroughs.
• The oldest cultivator touched the first pillar, condensed Heart Power, and broke through to the Creation Dao Realm.
• Han Yuan moved the cultivator into a small Primordial Space, which became an Origin World connected to Tai Yi Origin World, doubling Han Yuan’s Origin World bonus and Tai Yi Rule domain strength.

Han Yuan gained an affiliated territory when Mu Jun broke through to the Creation Dao Realm and became his subordinate. Mu Jun accepted a command in Tai Yi Town’s guard army, while Leng Yue planned to use his breakthrough to attract more cultivators.

• During his duel with Han Yuan, Heavenly Net sensed Han Yuan’s rule domain double in strength but continued pressing his advantage.
• After Mu Jun broke through to the Creation Dao Realm, Han Yuan pulled him back, rewarded him with mid-grade Rule Creations, and allowed him to use the Will Stone Pillars once every ten thousand eons.
• Mu Jun’s breakthrough inspired the 182 Origin Cultivators tempering their wills, who began progressing with greater conviction.
• Leng Yue registered Mu Jun in Tai Yi Town and offered him the guard army commander post, which he accepted.
• Leng Yue planned a ceremony celebrating Mu Jun’s breakthrough and appointment, intending to publicize it and recruit Origin Cultivators.

Wangcai and Jinbao returned to Tai Yi Town after hearing that Han Yuan could train Creation Dao Realm cultivators. They found the town overwhelmed by arriving Origin Cultivators, while Han Yuan was training more than two million Origin Dao Realm Perfection cultivators.

• Wangcai and Jinbao heard widespread reports of the Tai Yi Origin World’s cultivation system and decided to return for Han Yuan’s help.
• The pair revealed their true forms and traveled at speeds that astonished two Origin Cultivators who had been discussing the news.
• Wangcai and Jinbao arrived in Tai Yi Town and found about thirteen billion people crowding its streets.
• Rules reduced everyone’s size to ease the overcrowding, and the guard army directed Origin Dao Realm Perfection cultivators to the government office for a chance at one hundred yanjis of will tempering.
• Leng Yue asked Jinbao to help with administrative work, while Wangcai slipped away to the secret ground, where Han Yuan was training more than two million cultivators before the nine black stone pillars.

Wangcai pushed through the will assaults at Black stone Pillar Number One and condensed his own Heart Power Prototype, aided by the nine thousand Heart Crystals Han Yuan had given him. He reached the pillar ahead of the other cultivators, leaving his place among the contenders for the next breakthrough unclear.

• Wangcai passed Origin Cultivator after Origin Cultivator and reached the front ranks, where he met Eternal Daoist, who said he had reached Origin Dao Realm Perfection through a chance encounter and a hidden treasure.
• Han Yuan recognized that Eternal Daoist’s treasure had belonged to an Eternal Origin World Lord he had defeated, and Wangcai continued toward the first echelon.
• Wangcai endured the will assaults for three eras and condensed his Heart Power Prototype, with his faith in his master keeping his mind steady.
• Wangcai realized Han Yuan had bestowed nine thousand Heart Crystals on him, and their power helped him advance toward Black stone Pillar Number One.
• Wangcai reached the pillar and pressed his chubby paw against it, surprising the cultivators nearby.

Wangcai and Yao Guang broke through to the Creation Dao Realm at Tai Yi Town, drawing attention to the town’s opportunities and strengthening Han Yuan. Meanwhile, Han Yuan gradually turned his disadvantage around in the arena, prompting rival cultivators to seek out and stop the expansion of his Origin Worlds.

• Wangcai condensed one-star mental power by borrowing Han Yuan’s essence and broke through to the Creation Dao Realm before two million Origin Cultivators.
• Wangcai’s public breakthrough spread through Tai Yi Town, inspiring the cultivators to temper their wills more resolutely.
• One eon later, Yao Guang touched a black stone pillar, broke through to the Creation Dao Realm, and helped create an Origin World under Han Yuan’s Tai Yi Origin World.
• Han Yuan congratulated Yao Guang and directed him to ask Deputy Town Lord Fairy Cold Moon about joining the town.
• Spectators in the arena realized that Han Yuan’s strength was growing as Origin World Lords became his subordinates, and rival cultivators called for his Origin Worlds to be found and his expansion stopped.

Lin Yu and Mo Wuhui suspected that Han Yuan had laid a trap for Creation Dao Realm experts plotting against his Origin World. Meanwhile, Han Yuan’s Jianmu Body expanded its forces in the Jifang Low-grade Primordial Empire, leaving Aipi and his True Source Beasts ready to conquer nearby Origin Worlds.

• Lin Yu and Mo Wuhui realized that Creation Dao Realm experts were tracing them to Han Yuan’s Origin World, while Mo Wuhui suspected Han Yuan had arranged the situation as a trap.
• Creation Dao Realm experts hired intermediaries to interfere with Han Yuan’s plans, and hundreds of thousands of cultivators set out toward the Tai Yi Origin World.
• Han Yuan sent two hundred True Source Beasts to recruit Source Devouring Beasts for his Jianmu Origin World, where the Jianmu rules transformed recruits and strengthened them.
• Aipi welcomed Wan Hao, Ming Zhang, and Shi Si into the Jianmu Origin World, where Han Yuan doubled their strength and granted each a Mid-grade Rule Creation.
• Aipi showed the newcomers the Source Ore Mountain Range and the True Source Beast Incubation Pool, then learned that the Jianmu Origin World had amassed 1,544 True Source Beasts.
• Aipi formed a squad with Wan Hao, Ming Zhang, and Shi Si and planned to lead Source Devouring Beasts in conquering nearby Origin World territories.

Aipi’s beast tide conquered an Origin World, and the True Source Beasts continued expanding their campaign across nearby worlds. Meanwhile, Han Yuan’s Tai Yi Origin World attracted cultivators, prompting Creation Dao Realm cultivators from Dong Hao City to organize an interception plan.

• Aipi led nine True Source Beasts and ten million Perfection Level Source Devouring Beasts to attack an Origin World, whose town defenders were overwhelmed by an army made up entirely of Lord-class beasts.
• As the deputy mayor died, he witnessed a Source Devouring Beast break through into a True Source Beast and join the assault on the Origin World Lord.
• After seventeen epochs, eleven True Source Beasts killed the Origin World Lord, and the Jianmu Rule drew the conquered world into the Jianmu Origin Realm.
• Aipi’s group replenished its ranks and set out to conquer another world as other beast groups also expanded the growing tide across surrounding Origin Worlds.
• More than a hundred Origin Worlds became linked to the Tai Yi Origin World, drawing cultivators and attracting Creation Dao Realm cultivators from Dong Hao City.
• The Dong Hao City cultivators launched a plan to intercept cultivators traveling to the Tai Yi Origin World and prevent it from recruiting Creation Dao Realm subordinates.

Han Yuan remained unconcerned as Creation Dao Realm cultivators surrounded the Tai Yi Origin World, while Lin Yu, Mo Wuhui, and Wangcai tempered their wills. Du Huan entered Tai Yi Town and, with Fairy Cold Moon’s help, exchanged Heart Crystals for access to its cultivation secret grounds.

• Wangcai warned Han Yuan that the Tai Yi Origin World had been surrounded, but Han Yuan dismissed the threat and explained that Lin Yu and Mo Wuhui were nearing breakthroughs under Creation Dao Realm cultivators’ watch.
• Han Yuan sent Wangcai to temper his will at Will Stone Pillar No. 2, then turned his attention to refining stronger Will Stone Pillars.
• Du Huan crossed the interception line and waited a cosmic era to enter Tai Yi Town, where he was astonished by its immense queue and bustling streets.
• Du Huan asked Fairy Cold Moon to exchange Heart Crystals for access to the secret grounds, and she offered to temporarily hire him as a guard so he could obtain Yi Numbers.
• Du Huan accepted, bought access for a hundred evolution eras, and headed to the Will Stone Pillars.

Du Huan discovered that Tai Yi Town’s Will Stone Pillars could temper wills far more effectively than anything in Dong Hao City. After his allotted time ran out, Wangcai’s advice left him considering how to gain longer access to the secret realm.

• Du Huan entered Tai Yi Town’s will secret realm and saw nineteen Will Stone Pillars and many Creation Dao Realm cultivators tempering their wills.
• Du Huan advanced through the second pillar’s impacts, touched its core, and felt his will improve before struggling against the third pillar.
• Du Huan used Time Acceleration to extend his training, but after one hundred evolutionary epochs he had reached only the middle section of the third pillar.
• Du Huan asked Wangcai how he could keep training, and Wangcai explained that Tai Yi Town’s high-ranking soldiers could temper their wills indefinitely or outsiders could earn more time through referrals.
• Du Huan thanked Wangcai, was expelled when his time ran out, and was left considering whether to join Tai Yi Town or refer others.

Du Huan’s attempts to report on Tai Yi Town were repeatedly intercepted, spreading intelligence through Dong Hao City and prompting factions to reconsider their plans. Meanwhile, Heavenly Net felt Han Yuan’s growing pressure in the arena and decided to recruit subordinates for stronger Origin World enhancements.

• Du Huan weighed the risks of joining Tai Yi Town and sent intelligence to the Du Family, but Xun Zhen Hui intercepted his message and chose to send one-third of its forces to Tai Yi Town.
• After his first messages were intercepted, Du Huan sent three messages and then a million more, yet none reached the Du Family head.
• Du Huan finally received a message from Du Heng reporting that Han Yuan’s two disciples had reached the Creation Dao Realm and that the arena contest had shifted to four-to-six against Heavenly Net.
• Du Huan learned that major factions were intercepting messages across Dong Hao City and decided to return there personally to report to his family.
• Dong Hao City factions began sending Creation Dao Realm cultivators to investigate Tai Yi Town and its Will Tempering Secret Land, routing reports through another Origin World to evade interception.
• Heavenly Net sensed Han Yuan’s rising pressure and decided to allow potential followers to join him so he could gain greater Origin World enhancements.

Heavenly Net recruited Origin World Lords to strengthen his fight against Han Yuan, but the increased power barely shifted their deadlocked battle. Void Celestial Venerable and Celestial Venerable Wuji then began using the duel to test their mental strength, and their first deduction ended in Wuji’s victory.

• Heavenly Net announced a Dominator Army and recruited Origin World Lords, raising the power supplied by his Origin Worlds to more than three thousand.
• Heavenly Net’s strengthened attacks still failed to overwhelm Han Yuan as their intertwined rule domains continued their Heavenly Change Chess Game.
• Heavenly Net ordered his subordinate to expand recruitment so he could build a greater advantage.
• Void Celestial Venerable watched the duel, and Celestial Venerable Wuji appeared and proposed that they deduce its outcome against each other.
• The two Celestial Venerables replicated the battle and competed through mental-strength deductions; Wuji won the first round, and they began another.

Celestial Venerable Wuji and Void Celestial Venerable repeatedly simulated the battle and wagered on its real outcome, with the winner set to learn or assist with Void’s purpose. Meanwhile, Du Huan earned Yi Number rewards for bringing cultivators to Tai Yi Town and shared a portion with Wangcai.

• Celestial Venerable Wuji and Void Celestial Venerable’s simulations first favored Han Yuan, then favored Heavenly Net when they moved the fifth game to the Deathmatch Arena.
• Celestial Venerable Wuji wagered that the loser would either reveal their purpose or lend the winner a hand, and Void Celestial Venerable agreed.
• At the Will Secret Land, Wangcai told Du Huan that cultivators drawn by his news would earn him Yi Number rewards.
• Du Huan confirmed that 686 Origin World Lords had joined Tai Yi Town and received a Yi Number reward.
• Du Huan gave Wangcai half of his reward, and more Creation Dao Realm cultivators continued entering the Will Secret Land.

Jianmu’s expanding territory drew the attention of the Mofa Dominator, who confronted Dong Hao and pursued him into the Jianmu Origin Realm. There, Jianmu trapped and overwhelmed him, leaving the Mofa Dominator unable to escape or resurrect elsewhere.

• Song Xing received intelligence about Jianmu’s growing territory but delayed reporting it to the Mofa Dominator while the city lord was in seclusion.
• The Mofa Dominator learned of the border threat, ordered an investigation, and traveled to the Jianmu Origin Realm after spotting its rapid growth.
• Dong Hao tried to negotiate with the Mofa Dominator, but the Mofa Dominator attacked and quickly defeated him with his rule territory.
• Dong Hao retreated into the Jianmu Origin Realm, and the Mofa Dominator followed him inside.
• Jianmu struck the Mofa Dominator, disabled his Mofa Dimension, severed his connection to his territory, and trapped him within the Origin Realm.
• The Mofa Dominator realized Jianmu’s power exceeded his calculations, and Han Yuan said he had not been sure he could erase every part of him at once.

Han Yuan killed the Mofa Dominator, absorbed his power, and reforged the Mofa Dimension into a stronger Jianmu supreme treasure. As Han Yuan ordered Mofa City occupied, Song Xing discovered his enslavement had ended and fled with wealth, believing the approaching Origin Beast forces posed a catastrophe.

• The Mofa Dominator offered to become Han Yuan’s subordinate, but Han Yuan rejected him and refined him with the Jianmu Rule.
• Han Yuan absorbed the Mofa Dominator’s nourishment and Rule Trait, then transformed the Mofa Dimension into the enhanced Jianmu Dimension.
• Han Yuan ordered Dong Hao to send Origin Cultivators to occupy Mofa City and merge it into the Jianmu Origin Realm.
• Song Xing discovered that his mental enslavement had ended and concealed the now-ownerless Lord’s Heart.
• Song Xing ordered Mofa City into combat readiness, summoned Creation Dao Realm cultivators, then fled with part of the City Lord’s Mansion’s wealth.

Aipi's Origin Beast army conquered empty Origin Worlds while Dong Hao took control of Mofa City and used Song Xing's lingering aura to weave a fate that would lead him to meet again. Han Yuan sensed the influence on Song Xing's future and realized that a powerful existence was also watching and manipulating his human body.

• Aipi led his growing Origin Beast army through undefended Origin Worlds, absorbing them into the Jianmu Origin Realm and expanding his forces.
• Dong Hao arrived at Mofa City, refined its hidden Lord's Heart, and learned that Song Xing had gathered the city's cultivators there before fleeing.
• Dong Hao chose to delay absorbing Mofa Territory until its people had gathered, then used Song Xing's lingering aura to shape a future in which they would meet again.
• Song Xing fled toward the Tianwei Empire, unknowingly following a route that would lead him into Dong Hao City's sphere of control and eventually Han Yuan's grasp.
• Han Yuan sensed Dong Hao's use of rule power, recognized that Song Xing's future had been influenced, and realized a powerful existence was manipulating his human body.

Han Yuan realized that defying common sense could disrupt others’ deductions, then deliberately slowed his growth and weakened Tai Yi Town’s forces. His choices earned a mysterious response that promised a surge in strength as he escaped a Primordial Celestial Venerable’s pursuit.

• Han Yuan connected rules and information, realizing that an unexpected move could disrupt someone else’s control.
• As Han Yuan’s battle with Heavenly Net stalled and his growth slowed, Void Celestial Venerable and Celestial Venerable Wuji redid their deduction and found that Han Yuan would win.
• Han Yuan’s strength had slowed because he had severed the connection between his Jianmu Body and Ren Fu.
• Han Yuan ordered Leng Yue to admit only the strongest Creation Dao Realm cultivators and expel those who merely padded Tai Yi Town’s ranks.
• Han Yuan abandoned his human body’s will cultivation and began guiding Wangcai and the others, receiving a mysterious response that heralded a surge in strength.

Lin Yu and Mo Wuhui left the arena after Lin Yu saw his master falling behind, and Mo Wuhui devised a way to claim the ownerless large Primordial Space by spreading his Abyssal Dao. He began polluting the space at its edge, where his growing influence steadily strengthened him.

• Lin Yu warned Mo Wuhui that they should leave before it became difficult to escape, and they departed the arena using clones as decoys.
• Lin Yu and Mo Wuhui parted at the gates, and Mo Wuhui realized he could try to control the large Primordial Space by polluting it before anyone refined the sealed Lord's Heart.
• Mo Wuhui evaded the people following him and traveled to the edge of the large Primordial Space.
• Mo Wuhui used his Abyssal Dao to pollute and assimilate the Primordial Rules, suppressing and absorbing several local Origin Dao Realm cultivators along the way.
• As the polluted region expanded, Mo Wuhui's Abyssal Dao and personal strength grew; in thirty years, he polluted another region the size of a medium Primordial Space.

Mo Wuhui secretly refined Dong Hao Primordial Space, expanding the Abyssal Dao and rapidly advancing his cultivation while Han Yuan fought Heavenly Net. After one yuanhui, a passing Creation Dao Realm expert finally noticed the spreading abyssal territory.

• Void Celestial Venerable and Celestial Venerable Wuji watched Mo Wuhui's attempt and agreed that Wuji could recruit him if he succeeded, in exchange for a price.
• Mo Wuhui continued refining the ownerless Primordial Space, strengthening his will, Dao body, and Abyssal Dao as his realm rose.
• Han Yuan fought Heavenly Net with all his strength, unknowingly giving Mo Wuhui more time to work unnoticed.
• Mo Wuhui expanded his assimilated territory to 1,000 Origin Worlds and advanced to the middle Creation Dao Realm.
• Over one yuanhui, Mo Wuhui's territory grew to a diameter of 100 million hongfang, until a passing Creation Dao Realm expert spotted the spreading abyss.

As Mo Wuhui tried to refine the Dong Hao Primordial Space, Dong Hao City’s factions mobilized to stop him, and Lin Yu joined the fight by ambushing their cultivators. With Mo Wuhui’s help, Lin Yu rapidly grew stronger through slaughter, drawing the attention of two Primordial Celestial Venerables.

• Dong Hao Junyi convened the factions, which agreed to begin the Lord’s Heart competition early and send cultivators to halt Mo Wuhui’s refinement.
• Lin Yu discovered Mo Wuhui behind the Dark Sky Curtain and agreed to help him by attacking the cultivators weakening the Abyssal Rule.
• Mo Wuhui trapped groups of early Creation Dao Realm cultivators so Lin Yu could kill them, and Lin Yu’s strength increased with each slaughter.
• Lin Yu’s successive attacks grew deadlier and faster, while Mo Wuhui recorded the fallen cultivators and the Abyssal territory continued to face attacks.
• Void Celestial Venerable praised Lin Yu to Celestial Venerable Wuji and said he could become a Celestial Venerable if he got the chance to kill one.
