• Su Ling hesitated to tell Su Ye that Chen Xuan had been demanding a challenge through the Ten Thousand Domains Star Network.

Su Ye dismissed Chen Xuan’s challenge as he prepared to travel to the Chaotic Sea Star Domain with Ning Jian to obtain the World Source Guide. There, Qin Yun recruited the domain’s three great lineages to track and help kill Su Ye before he could enter the Supreme Academy.

• Su Ling told Su Ye that Chen Xuan had challenged him to a fight on the Ten Thousand Domains Star Network in five days, but Su Ye refused to bother with the challenge.

• Qin Yun summoned Half-Step World Lords from the Zhang, Xu, and He Families and ordered them to report Su Ye’s whereabouts and assist the Qin Clan in killing him.
• Qin Yun promised the three lineages a Void Dao Pill if they helped kill Su Ye, prompting them to pursue the reward.
• After the lineages departed, Qin Yun and the other Qin Clan Half-Step World Lords admitted they would not honor the promise and expected their trap to ensure Su Ye’s death.

The Qin Clan enlisted the Zhang Family to help find and kill Su Ye, while Qin Yun planned to use Zhou Wujing as bait to draw him out. The He Family agreed to search for Su Ye but doubted the Qin Clan would truly reward them, leaving Su Ye’s allies trapped and his enemies preparing an ambush.

• Zhou Wujing despaired at being used to lure his disciple into an ambush and urged Su Ye not to come.

• He Chunqiu warned that the Zhang Family might have its own intentions, while He Yi remained fixated on Void Dao Pills and becoming a World Lord.

Chen Xuan waited in vain for Su Ye to answer his challenge, then offered two thousand Contribution Points if Su Ye fought him within a month. Meanwhile, the Hundred-Knowing Scholar suspected the Qin Clan was using Zhou Wujing to draw Su Ye out, as Su Ye and his companions arrived in the Chaotic Sea Star Domain.

• Nearly a hundred thousand Prodigies gathered to watch Chen Xuan wait for Su Ye, but Su Ye did not appear that day.
• Chen Xuan offered Su Ye two thousand Contribution Points to fight him within a month, then left the Ten Thousand Domains Star Network.

Ning Jian brought Su Ling, Gu Chensha, and Su Ye to the Chaotic Sea Star Domain to ask He Chunqiu for a World Source Guide so they could reach the Seven Core Star Domains. He Chunqiu realized one of Ning Jian’s companions might be Su Ye and struggled with whether to alert the Qin Clan.

• Ning Jian reassured Su Ling that He Chunqiu was a trusted friend of Ning Jian’s father, then led the group through a spatial rift to Red Cloud Planet.

• Ning Jian asked He Chunqiu for a World Source Guide to help the group cross Star Domains and attend the Supreme Academy’s special admissions.
• He Chunqiu connected the request and the group’s arrival to Su Ye and the Qin Clan, then wondered which companion was Su Ye and whether to inform the Qin Clan.

He Chunqiu gave Ning Jian the Chaotic Sea Star Domain's World Source Guide and tried to teleport him and his companions away before the Zhang Family could interfere. The Zhang Family attacked the He Family estate, the teleportation failed, and He Yi questioned his father about sending the four guests away.

• He Chunqiu handed Ning Jian the World Source Guide and began quietly activating the He Family's Formation Array to send the four visitors away.
• He Yi noticed the formation and the guests' concealed faces, but He Chunqiu told him Ning Jian was traveling to temper himself, and He Yi left suspicious.
• The Zhang Family's five Half-Step World Lords learned of four unknown cultivators at the He Family estate and suspected they might be Su Ye, so they contacted the Qin Clan and rushed over.
• The Zhang Family confronted He Chunqiu, and the imprisoned Zhou Wujing feared that his disciple was walking into a trap.
• He Chunqiu activated the formation and urged Ning Jian and the others to leave, but the Zhang Family attacked and the teleportation failed.
• He Yi asked He Chunqiu why he was in such a hurry to send the four guests away.

He Yi turned against He Chunqiu and sabotaged the He Family’s Formation Array, hoping to secure the Qin Clan’s Void Dao Pill and preserve his family. With ten Half-Step World Lords closing in, Su Ye calmly refused to flee and said he would handle them.

• He Chunqiu admitted he wanted to help Ning Jian because Ning Jian’s father had saved his life, while He Yi feared the Qin and Zhang Families would destroy the He Family.
• Su Ye and his companions realized the Qin Clan had anticipated their route and sent five Half-Step World Lords, joining the Zhang Family’s five outside the formation.
• Ning Jian urged He Chunqiu to suppress He Yi and activate the Formation Array so they could escape, but He Yi began fighting his father for control of it.
• He Chunqiu accused He Yi of betraying him for the Qin Clan’s promised Void Dao Pill, and He Yi declared he would kill his father to pursue the Dao and protect the He Family.
• As the formation dissolved and eleven Half-Step World Lords threatened them, Su Ye placed his hand on Gui Shi and said they did not need to flee because he would handle it.

He Yi helped the Zhang Family and Qin Clan break the He Family’s formation and trap Su Ye inside the estate. Su Ye killed Qin Yun with one sword and faced the remaining nine Half-Step World Lords, while Li Ya expected him to die.

• He Yi disrupted the He Family’s Formation Array, allowing the Zhang Family’s five Half-Step World Lords to help bring it down.
• He Yi revealed that he had found the Qin Clan’s target, and Qin Yun sealed the estate with an Earth-Sealing Crystal.

• Su Ye looked toward He Yi, who tried to hide behind He Chunqiu and begged his father to save him.

He Yi and the Zhang Family's five Half-Step World Lords poured their power into the Earth-Sealing Crystal, believing it would summon a Qin Clan World Lord's strength and stop Su Ye. The surviving Qin Clan Half-Step World Lord escaped the barrier and seized Zhou Wujing as a hostage, while the others remained trapped and the spectators outside reacted to his battered condition.

• He Yi begged He Chunqiu to save him, but a surviving Qin Clan Half-Step World Lord ordered everyone to empower the Earth-Sealing Crystal.

Su Ye broke through the Earth-Sealing Crystal barrier and killed the Qin Clan’s one-armed Half-Step World Lord, while the five Zhang Family Half-Step World Lords and four others were revealed dead. The witnesses recognized Su Ye, but the Hundred-Knowing Scholar was left baffled by how someone at Star Shattering Perfection could wield such strength.

• Su Ye shattered the Earth-Sealing Crystal barrier with Sword Nine, God-Connecting, as the Qin Clan’s one-armed Half-Step World Lord fled.

The Hundred-Knowing Scholar learned that Su Ye had forged a New Path, while the Time Ancestor and Tian Yang encountered the returning Su Ye at the Nine Saints Sect.

• Su Ye recognized the woman reaching for the Fate Summoning Line as Lin Qingyue and suspected that a shadow behind her was connected to the unknown enemy from the Sacred War.
