Bai Yu learned that a captured ascender from the Universe Sea carried a mysterious imprint connected to Yuan and the Gate of the Void Realm. The revelation left Bai Yu visibly shaken, and the chapter ended before he acted on it.

• Bai Yu enjoyed music, dancing, and fine food in Sea Gazing Pavilion until Xi Kui burst in with an urgent report.
• Bai Yu dismissed the entertainers and sealed the pavilion before Xi Kui explained that patrols had captured a Void True God attempting to enter the East Pole Domain.
• Xi Kui recounted how the ascender fought the Black Stone Team over Nine Yin Bone Corroding Grass and was captured with God Binding Chains.
• Xi Kui said a soul search exposed an ancient will imprint that nearly scattered his divine soul, along with visions of a terrifying gate and the words “Yuan” and “Gate of the Void Realm.”
• Bai Yu recognized the significance of the words and abruptly sat upright, visibly shaken.

Bai Yu silenced Xi Kui’s knowledge of Yuan and the Gate of the Void Realm, then secretly examined the imprisoned ascender Huang. He discovered that Huang had touched the Gate’s imprint and glimpsed its location in a perilous land of Chaos.

• Xi Kui told Bai Yu that searching Huang’s soul had exposed an ancient imprint connected to Yuan and the Gate of the Void Realm.
• Bai Yu used his God King Second Layer Realm will to rewrite Xi Kui’s memories, making him believe he had executed an ordinary ascender, then rewarded him with Thousand Day Drunken God Brew.
• Bai Yu went to the lowest level of the Abyss Suppressing Tower, where Huang was frozen and bound by nine layers of soul-suppressing chains.
• Bai Yu probed Huang’s sea of consciousness, but the ancient imprint rebounded his Spiritual Sense and threatened his will.
• Bai Yu probed around the imprint’s edges and saw Huang touch the Gate of the Void Realm in a dangerous land of Chaos.

Bai Yu realized Huang could lead him to Huang’s homeland Universe Sea and decided that Huang must survive. In Huang’s Universe Sea, Huang’s Divine Power Avatar suddenly dissolved after warning of danger in the Land of Origin, and Yan concealed the crisis while issuing emergency orders.

• Bai Yu understood that the Gate of the Void Realm was a passage connected to Huang’s homeland and resolved to keep Huang alive so he could reach that Universe Sea.

• Huang’s Divine Power Avatar suffered overwhelming terror, warned Yan and the three Huang Divine Venerables that the Land of Origin was dangerous, and dissipated before them.
• Yan gathered the Nine Venerables and insisted that Huang had not fallen, explaining that his main body was likely trapped or cut off in the Land of Origin.
• Yan ordered the Divine Race of Huang to keep the avatar’s destruction secret, present Huang as secluded, guard the Ancestral Court, and search for information about the Land of Origin.

Bai Yu decided to use Gu You to investigate a way back from the Origin Continent to the Universe Sea, hoping to reach Yuan's Treasure Land. Gu You told Qingteng Marquis that World Beasts had appeared in his homeland, and Qingteng Marquis suspected he wanted to control one of them.

• Bai Yu concluded that openly searching the East Pole Domain for a route to the Universe Sea would attract suspicion, so he turned to Gu You for help.
• Qingteng Marquis investigated Gu You's recent activities, learned that Gu You's brother Gu Li had reached the Chaos Realm and that relatives from the Universe Sea had arrived in Xuanhu City, then granted Gu You a key to enter the River of Life World.
• Gu You asked Qingteng Marquis whether it was possible to travel from the Origin Continent back to a specific Universe Sea, and Qingteng Marquis warned him that reversing the ascension path was a dangerous taboo.
• Gu You revealed that World Beasts had appeared in his homeland's Universe Sea and threatened his Miniature Universe, clan, and domain, prompting Qingteng Marquis to confirm the creatures' identity.
• Gu You said he wanted to hunt the World Beasts while they were still young, and Qingteng Marquis suspected he planned to enslave one and place it under his control.

Gu You learned from Qingteng Marquis that reverse descent into a Universe Sea required crippling restraints and carried the risk of karmic tribulation, then received a jade slip containing the method. He concealed his true goal—the Gate of the Void Realm—and left to study the instructions.

• Gu You probed Qingteng Marquis about why the River of Life had never used a World Beast as a God King helper, prompting an explanation of the cost of reverse descent.
• Qingteng Marquis explained that descending God Kings faced cultivation shackles, isolation of their will, and karmic sin that could bring fatal tribulation after their return.
• Gu You connected the dangers to King Jin of the Gods' escape into the Universe Sea and his eventual death at the hands of the Original Universe.
• Gu You pressed Qingteng Marquis for a practical method, and Qingteng Marquis gave him a jade slip detailing the reverse descent and its risks.
• Gu You thanked Qingteng Marquis, concealed that he sought Yuan's opportunity rather than a World Beast, and departed to study the jade slip.

Qingteng Marquis reported Gu You’s plan to capture a World Beast to North Wind God King, who used the Chaos Karma Disk to mark Gu You and detect if he left the Origin Continent. North Wind God King ordered Avici to monitor Gu You’s relatives and associates.

• Qingteng Marquis told Shadow Vine to report that Gu You intended to seek a newly born World Beast in the Universe Sea.
• Shadow Vine relayed Qingteng Marquis’s warning to North Wind God King at the Eternal Silence Divine Hall.
• North Wind God King judged Gu You’s plan to be a dangerous taboo and used the Chaos Karma Disk to place a karmic mark on him in Xuanhu City.
• North Wind God King ordered Shadow Vine to have Avici monitor Gu You’s brother Gu Li and the three relatives from the Universe Sea who had recently arrived.

Bai Yu decided to leave Gu You in Xuanhu City as bait and take Gu You’s place on the dangerous journey through the Universe Sea. After suppressing his cultivation and will, he opened a reverse passage, endured the Source World’s backlash, and crossed into the Universe Sea with Huang as his beacon.

• After studying the Path of Shackles, Gu You decided that Bai Yu would travel to the Universe Sea while Gu You remained in Xuanhu City as bait.
• Bai Yu formed cultivation and will shackles, lowering both his power and perception to the Eternal True God level.
• Bai Yu prepared to cross the dimensional membrane wall and brought out the unconscious Huang, whose aura and miniature universe would guide him to the intended Universe Sea.
• Bai Yu tore open a passage, survived the Supreme Rule’s backlash, and entered the rift carrying Huang.
• Bai Yu emerged in a dimensional gap of the Universe Sea aboard his battered boat and reflected on the violence of the reverse passage.

Bai Yu entered the Universe Sea and searched Return to Ruins Starfall and Ten Thousand Bone Mountain for clues to Yuan’s Treasure Land and the Gate of the Void Realm. Finding no trace of Yuan’s imprint in either forbidden zone, he headed toward the last remaining destination, Law Reef.

• Bai Yu reached the Universe Sea, recognized the Original Universe and its Source Will, and cautiously used it as an anchor for his journey.
• Bai Yu entered Return to Ruins Starfall and searched its destructive vortex for Yuan’s imprint, but found nothing after tens of thousands of years.
• Bai Yu traveled to Ten Thousand Bone Mountain and searched its dangerous, death-filled maze while remaining concealed.
• Bai Yu witnessed three True God powerhouses fight Bone Giant Statues and Vengeful Spirits over Black Crystal, then continued his search without finding Yuan’s imprint.
• Bai Yu left Ten Thousand Bone Mountain exhausted and turned toward Law Reef, the final Great Forbidden Zone he had yet to investigate.

Bai Yu found the Gate of the Void Realm at the heart of Law Reef and opened it despite the Original Universe’s attempts to stop him. He escaped through the gateway into an unknown passage, where he awoke reduced to a fragile true spirit protected by energy carrying Yuan’s aura.

• Bai Yu cautiously navigated Law Reef until he sensed an orderly fluctuation resembling the Gate of the Void Realm in Huang’s memories.
• Bai Yu found the gate’s projection and drew the Original Universe’s hostile attention as he approached it.
• Bai Yu broke through the Source Will’s restraints and opened the Gate of the Void Realm, revealing a passage toward an unknown Source World.
• The Original Universe unleashed Cosmic Heavenly Punishment, but Bai Yu entered the gate before its thunder struck and annihilated the surrounding region.
• Bai Yu regained consciousness in darkness as a tiny fragment of true spirit, shielded from the violent torrent by energy carrying Yuan’s aura.
