Su Ye stunned Tianying Sparrow Lord by mastering a Star Grade Five divine ability instantly, then reunited with Ye Xingli and arranged to stay near her on Tian Ying Star. After confirming she was safe and learning that his grandfather was missing and his father remained unaccounted for, Su Ye returned to the Nine Saints Sect to gather information and prepare for the Suiyin Star Domain.

Su Ye reached the Nine Saints Sect and studied its cultivation records, learning the principles and dangers of the Three Steps of Star Dust, the Four Realms of Star, and the World Lord realm. The chapter ended with him wondering whether he could survive—or fight—a Chaos Star Realm expert while still in the Shatter Star Realm.

• Su Ye arrived on the Heavenly Xing Continent, sensed a mysterious black-robed old man within the Luo Dao Stone, and concealed himself before continuing to the Nine Saints Sect.

• Su Ye considered his encounters with Elder Yu Yin and Tianying Sparrow Lord and wondered whether he could escape or fight a Chaos Star Realm expert from the Shatter Star Realm.

Su Ye decided to wait before pursuing the Chaos Star Realm and went to watch a Holy Son battle between Zhu Ting and Gu Chensha. He met Song Qiaoxin and her great-grandfather Song Zhe, who had failed to secure her a Retainer slot for the Suiyin Star Domain Secret Realm, and wondered whether Xing Li might choose Song Qiaoxin as her other Retainer.

• Su Ye planned to advance his cultivation and techniques before considering the Chaos Star Realm, then received a notice that Gu Chensha would spar with Zhu Ting.
• Su Ye left his cave abode to watch the Holy Son battle and encountered Song Qiaoxin and Song Zhe.

• Song Qiaoxin comforted Song Zhe and invited Su Ye to go watch the battle with them, and he agreed.
• Su Ye remembered that Xing Li could choose a second Retainer and looked at Song Qiaoxin.

Su Ye and the others went to the Martial Arts Arena to watch Nine Saints Sect Holy Son Zhu Ting face Lang Gu Sect Holy Son Gu Chensha. Gu Chensha’s dismissive attitude angered the Nine Saints Sect disciples, and the two Holy Sons entered the arena to begin their battle.

• Su Ye, Song Qiaoxin, and Song Zhe joined Tian Yuan, Deng Wusheng, and other disciples on the way to the packed Martial Arts Arena.

Gu Chensha defeated Zhu Ting in a clash whose auras shook the Nine Saints Sect’s defensive formation, deepening the sect’s despair over its decline. Zhu Ting later told his father and the Thunder Ancestor that he might have won if he had used his full strength, but he remained bitter over the loss.

• Elder Yu Yin raised a curtain of light around Gu Chensha and Zhu Ting’s fight, while the crowd discussed the Nine Saints Sect’s decline and Zhu Ting’s reputation.
• The fighters’ auras grew so powerful that ripples spread across the curtain, alarming the elders and disciples watching outside.
• Gu Chensha emerged with only a damaged robe, while Zhu Ting followed pale and injured; Gu Chensha declared that Zhu Ting was still not strong enough and would lose again.
• Gu Chensha returned to the Lang Gu Sect’s starship, and the Nine Saints Sect’s disciples and elders were left dejected by Zhu Ting’s defeat.
• In a cultivation chamber, Zhu Ting told his father and the Thunder Ancestor that he might not have lost if he had used the Thunder Stepping Technique and his bloodline, then demanded to know why he had to lose.

After Zhu Ting lost to Gu Chensha, Thunder Ancestor and Sect Master Zhu revealed that the Nine Saints Sect would disappear in two years and that they planned to join the Lang Gu Sect.

• Thunder Ancestor and Sect Master Zhu told Zhu Ting that the Nine Saints Sect would cease to exist in two years and that the family would go to the Lang Gu Sect.
• Zhu Ting realized that cooperating with the Lang Gu Sect meant betraying the Nine Saints Sect, but resolved to settle things with Gu Chensha in the Mystic Realm.

• Thunder Ancestor told Sect Master Zhu to raise Zhu Ting to Star Shattering Perfection and have him fight for the Suiyin Star Domain Secret Realm's greatest opportunity.

Su Ye studied divine ability techniques and learned that completing a Dao technique could alert the World Lord who controlled its law. The Time Ancestor then appeared before him, explaining how he had sensed Su Ye completing the Superposition Technique and tracked him down, while promising he meant no harm.

• Su Ye returned to the Virtual Library Pavilion and studied the grades of divine ability techniques, including the rare Half-Step Dao Techniques and the sole complete Dao technique, Life Passing.

• The Time Ancestor appeared in Su Ye's cave abode as an illusory Black Robe Elder, and Su Ye recognized him from the Luo Dao Stone.
• The Time Ancestor explained that the Time-Twisting Stone had let him manifest a wisp of divine sense and that he had sensed Su Ye's cultivation of the Superposition Technique to completion.
• The Time Ancestor told Su Ye that the resonance around the Dao Discussion Stone and Luo Dao Stone had helped him narrow down Su Ye's location, though Savage Blood's concealment had obscured his calculations.

The Time Ancestor told Su Ye that only three people had perfected the Superposition Technique and warned him to keep his achievement secret or be purged. As the Time Ancestor began to leave, a voice addressed him by his forgotten name, Luo Shi, and he saw his long-lost master seated on a throne.

• The Time Ancestor turned, saw his long-lost master seated on a throne, and exclaimed, "Master?!"

• Luo Shi revealed that the Superposition Technique had kept him alive but could not remove the curse unless it became a true Dao Technique.
• Su Ye used Deduce Breakthrough to elevate the Superposition Technique from a Half-Step Dao Technique to a true Dao Technique.

Su Ye revealed that he had created the Dao Technique Superposition, astonishing the Time Ancestor and the other Half-Step World Lords. The Time Ancestor glimpsed a path toward becoming a Time World Lord but said a second obstacle would prevent him from accepting Su Ye’s help.

• The Half-Step World Lords across the Heavenly Star Domain sensed a disturbance in Heaven and Earth, then dismissed it as an illusion because they believed no World Lord or perfected Dao Technique could have appeared.
• The Time Ancestor was stunned to realize that Su Ye had created a Dao Technique despite being below the World Lord realm.
• Su Ye demonstrated Superposition, which combined his past, present, and future states to amplify his power nearly ninefold.
• The Time Ancestor understood the technique and glimpsed a path toward becoming a true Time World Lord.
• Su Ye asked whether there was another reason the Time Ancestor could not accept his help, and the Time Ancestor confirmed that there was.

Su Ye learned that the Thunder Ancestor had betrayed the Time Ancestor and planned to refine him into a Human Pill. He proposed using the Luo Dao Stone to briefly restore the Time Ancestor’s connection to heaven and earth, potentially letting him break through to the World Lord Realm.

• Su Ye proposed reaching the Luo Dao Stone’s summit and making it resonate so the Time Ancestor could connect with heaven and earth and attempt a World Lord breakthrough.

Su Ye learned that he could free the Time Ancestor by making the Luo Dao Stone resonate while facing Six Paths’s phantom, and agreed to pursue the plan after leaving the Suiyin Star Domain. The Time Ancestor explained the Mystic Realm’s four trials and the Nine Extremes Dao Seeds, leaving Su Ye resolved to compete despite the risk that his bloodline would be exposed.

• The Time Ancestor revealed that Six Paths was the Sacred Star’s greatest prodigy and said Su Ye only needed to make the Luo Dao Stone resonate during their fight, not defeat the phantom.
• Su Ye agreed to cultivate for the next year and activate the plan after leaving the Suiyin Star Domain, while the Time Ancestor vowed to settle scores once he reached the World Lord realm.

• The Time Ancestor’s projection faded after he thanked Su Ye and said he would wait inside the Luo Dao Stone while perfecting the Dao Technique.

Su Ye asked Tianying Sparrow Lord to obtain five more Time-Twisting Stones so he could cultivate until the Suiyin Star Domain opened, despite her warnings about the deadly Heavenly Tribulations. He immediately used his second stone, drawing down the First Heavenly Tribulation as Tianying Sparrow Lord and Ye Xingli watched from a safe distance.

• Su Ye decided to spend the coming months pushing his combat strength to its limit after gaining more than expected.

• Su Ye activated his second Time-Twisting Stone and summoned the First Heavenly Tribulation.
• Tianying Sparrow Lord took Ye Xingli beyond the thunderstorm's reach and watched Su Ye face the tribulation.

Su Ye used the Heavenly Tribulation from the Time-Twisting Stone to advance to Star Shattering Intermediate, while his sword strike revealed strength beyond Tianying Sparrow Lord’s expectations.

He left after promising Su Ye a pill to restore his Source, with the selection due to begin in four months.

• Su Ye concealed his cultivation as Elder Yu Yin arrived and recognized his connection to Ancestor Yang's lineage.

• Elder Yu Yin told Su Ye that a sect alchemist was preparing a pill to restore his Source and asked him to return with Ye Xingli in four months.

Su Ye recommended a team member before returning to cultivate his Nine Extremes God-Connecting Sword, while Song Zhe and Song Qiaoxin struggled to secure a place in the Suiyin Star Domain expedition. Just as they resigned themselves to giving up, Ye Xingli invited Song Qiaoxin to join her team.

• Tianying Sparrow Lord told Su Ye and Ye Xingli to choose another retainer, and Su Ye said he had someone to recommend.
• Su Ye returned to cultivation and continued deducing the Nine Extremes God-Connecting Sword with a Time-Twisting Stone and Manifestation Talisman.

• Ye Xingli approached Song Qiaoxin and invited her to join her team for the Suiyin Star Domain expedition.

Ye Xingli recruited Song Qiaoxin into her team and brought her and Song Zhe to Tian Ying Star to sign a restrictive Dao Contract. When Qiaoxin asked who their other teammate was, Ye Xingli said his name was Ye Gui, leaving Song Zhe stunned.

• Ye Xingli told Song Qiaoxin that their other teammate was named Ye Gui, and Song Zhe abruptly froze.

After years of accelerated cultivation, Su Ye emerged from seclusion, reached Star Shattering Perfection, and prepared to return to the Nine Saints Sect for the official selection. Before he could leave Tian Ying Star, Li Ya arrived with Su Ling, Lin Qingyue, and Li Yanyu, whose startling advancement suggested a looming confrontation.

Li Ya offered Tianying Sparrow Lord a deal to ally with the Blood Phoenix Clan, but she recognized his words as a threat against Ye Xingli.

• Qin Yanyu revealed her Shatter Star Initial Stage cultivation, but Tianying Sparrow Lord gave her only a lukewarm assessment while privately admiring Ye Gui’s greater strength.
• Li Ya announced that Thunder Ancestor had taken Qin Yanyu as his disciple and permitted her to lead a team into the Moon-Crossing World Bridge with the Nine Saints Sect’s chosen disciples.
