• Jiang Yuyan drained her world's World Source and left without forming a faction or taking on subordinates.
• The Multiverse Chat Group supported Jiang Yuyan's revenge, while its members considered how strength, resources, and personal convictions shaped their choices.
• Jiang Yuyan's confusion led her to erase her world, after which she felt unburdened and believed she had escaped her distress.
• Jiang Yuyan went back into seclusion and kept her shop closed, unlike Li Yunrui and Yue Qiluo, whose shops were operating.
• Yue Qiluo left the well after becoming an Immortal, gained a refined immortal aura, and abandoned paper-cutting.

• Yue Qiluo founded the Myriad Demons Kingdom, the Myriad Devils Cave, and the Myriad Souls Hall, placing a Demon King, Devil King, and Ghost King over them with celestial artifacts to enforce her rule.
• Yue Qiluo quickly subdued the supernatural beings across the Wu Xin World and assigned each faction one of the three continents outside the Central Plains.
• Yue Qiluo left the Central Plains to humans and decided she could personally serve as their agent while also seeking leadership of the Daoist Sect.
• Yue Qiluo flew to Qingyun Temple, where she planned to gain control of the Daoist Sect; the temple was led by Chuchenzi and had only a little over a hundred disciples.

Chuchenzi cultivated at Qingyun Temple and hoped to break through to Core Formation, but a terrifying pressure swept over the temple as Yue Qiluo arrived. He mistook the newcomer for a Nascent Soul cultivator, unaware that she was a true Immortal.

• Chuchenzi neared Core Formation while worrying that Qingyun Temple had declined and lacked the strength to protect itself.
• A terrifying aura spread across Qingyun Mountain, freezing spiritual energy and driving animals to flee as the temple's disciples collapsed in fear.
• Chuchenzi sensed the aura and saw a streak of white light approach Qingyun Temple, assuming a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator had arrived.
• Yue Qiluo arrived as a true Immortal, though Chuchenzi could not recognize her immortal power.

Chuchenzi mistook Yue Qiluo for a friendly Daoist Sect senior visiting Qingyun Temple and welcomed her. Yue Qiluo revealed that she was his grandmaster’s junior sister, leaving Chuchenzi stunned as he remembered her as a Qingyun Temple traitor who practiced evil arts.

• Chuchenzi feared that a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator had come to seize Qingyun Temple’s inheritance, but trusted that its techniques and resources were protected inside the Qingyun Dao Token.
• A young girl named Yue Qiluo appeared, and Chuchenzi sensed her powerful, pure Daoist Sect Magical Power and assumed she meant no harm.
• Chuchenzi greeted Yue Qiluo respectfully and asked why she had come to Qingyun Temple.
• Yue Qiluo told Chuchenzi that she was his grandmaster’s junior sister.
• Chuchenzi remembered Yue Qiluo as the Qingyun Temple traitor who had practiced evil arts and wondered whether the ethereal girl before him could really be her.

Chuchenzi initially mistook Yue Qiluo’s claim that she was Qingyun Temple’s long-sealed traitor for a joke, but accepted her identity after she overwhelmed him. Yue Qiluo revealed she had become an Immortal and began uniting the Daoist Sect, leaving its leaders subdued at the Grand Rite of Luo Tian.

• Chuchenzi dismissed Yue Qiluo’s claim that she was his grand-uncle-master until she suppressed him with her aura and made him believe her.
• Yue Qiluo told Chuchenzi she planned to become head of the Daoist Sect and unite it, then revealed she had become an Immortal.
• Yue Qiluo returned to Qingyun Temple as Grand Elder while Chuchenzi remained its public temple master.
• One year later, Yue Qiluo used her Ninth-Order Celestial Immortal power at the Grand Rite of Luo Tian to subdue the Daoist temples’ leaders and killed several who resisted.

Yue Qiluo brought the Qingyun World under her control, while the Chat Group members discussed the scarcity of Sacred Spirit Stones and World Source. Huang Rong proposed targeting low-cultivation visitors from the Mortal Domain because each represented a world that could yield World Source.

• Yue Qiluo seized control of the Daoist Sect and other transcendent forces, founded the Qingyun Dao Sect, and renamed the Wu Xin World the Qingyun World.
• Yue Qiluo divided the other three continents among the Myriad Demons Kingdom, Myriad Devils Cave, and Myriad Souls Hall, while Chuchenzi became a senior Qingyun Dao Sect leader.
• The older Chat Group members reached the Thirteenth Tier and discussed how scarce Sacred Spirit Stones and World Tokens were.
• Chat Group members debated the difficulty of obtaining World Source, and Huang Rong said she had an idea to help.
• Huang Rong proposed targeting low-cultivation beings from the Mortal Domain who traveled to Multiverse City, since each one represented a world.

Huang Rong argued that even low-ranked worlds could generate renewable World Source and proposed turning attention to the struggling merchants and inhabitants of Multiverse City's Mortal Domain. The group recognized the value of the idea but stressed that their plans could not threaten Multiverse City's rules or operations.

• Huang Rong explained that controlling many Lesser Worlds could yield substantial World Source and Spirit Stone profits.
• Lord of the Moon Sect, World Conqueror, and Lin Jiu pointed out that Multiverse City's rules prohibited seizing other people's worlds or traveling without permission.
• The group agreed that Multiverse City was the foundation of their growth and that any plan must not disrupt its operations.
• Huang Rong described how the Mortal Domain forced inhabitants from many tiers to compete together and left people from ordinary worlds with few valuable goods to trade.
• Yue Buqun and other members from martial arts worlds agreed that without the Multiverse Chat Group, their worlds would have little to offer and they would struggle to obtain resources.

Huang Rong proposed investing in beings from low-level worlds in exchange for a share of the World Source they harvested, giving them the resources to grow while earning the group a profit. The group approved the plan, and Shi Yueyao said her Book of Destiny could help secure contracts across worlds.

• Huang Rong explained that the group could help Multiverse City’s struggling inhabitants develop their worlds’ World Source and take a share in return.
• The group members praised the proposal as an expanded version of Lin Jiu’s Spirit Stone Lending Service and agreed it could benefit investors, borrowers, and their worlds.
• Yang Jian called for contracts to prevent borrowers from taking the investment and fleeing, while the group discussed the risks of excessive World Source extraction.
• Shi Yueyao said her Book of Destiny could travel to Lesser Worlds through Destiny and Cause and Effect, but it needed an anchor point and could not use Multiverse City without the proper authority.

Shi Yueyao organized the Chat Group’s angel-investment business into a shareholding corporation, using the Book of Destiny to manage contracts and preserve the group’s advantage. She left every current and future member included as a shareholder, and Multiverse Investment Corporation began operating from Yao Hua Pavilion.

• Shi Yueyao used the Book of Destiny to resolve the Cause-and-Effect Contract issue, while recognizing its limits against powers above the Sixteenth Tier.
• The Chat Group members agreed to pursue a monopoly on angel investment by relying on their core-district shops, brand, and reputation.
• Shi Yueyao proposed dividing shares and profits equally among Chat Group members, and Yang Jian and Chonglou tacitly accepted her plan to include newcomers.
• Jiang Yuyan, Yue Qiluo, and Li Yunrui felt reassured that they and future newcomers would share in the business rather than be left out.
• After the vote passed, Shi Yueyao established Multiverse Investment Corporation in Yao Hua Pavilion and formed its Shareholders Committee and Board of Directors Committee.

The Multiverse Investment Corporation’s model inspired Immortal Domain shop owners to invest in people from other worlds in exchange for World Source, while giving the people in impoverished worlds a chance to rise. The main obstacle was that Multiverse City would not protect private deals, leaving Shi Yueyao’s Book of Destiny as the only known way to enforce an investment contract.

• Immortal Domain shop owners recognized that investing in people from other worlds could provide access to Sacred Spirit Stones without draining their own worlds’ World Source.
• The shop owners realized they could not travel to the worlds they invested in and that Multiverse City would not enforce private contracts or protect those transactions.
• Shi Yueyao used the Book of Destiny to establish Cause-and-Effect Contracts, giving her investments a way to punish anyone who reneged.
• Despite the lack of guarantees for most investors, shop owners from the Immortal Domain and a few from the Mortal Domain decided to try investing.
• Struggling beings from barren worlds rejoiced at the prospect of receiving the opportunity they needed to improve their lives.

Nian Gengyao, a powerful Qing general who had failed to pursue immortality in his barren world, reacted furiously to Prince Yong’s attempt to take his sister Nian Shilan as a secondary consort. He distrusted Prince Yong’s ambition and caution, leaving their already tense relationship poised to worsen.

• Nian Gengyao told Nian Shilan that his chance to rise had arrived and vowed she would become the most honored woman under heaven.
• The chapter explained that Nian Gengyao had spent ten years cultivating the Mystic Martial Path, reaching Sky Wanderer Realm because his world lacked spiritual energy and resources for immortality.
• Nian Gengyao used pills to secure the loyalty of the officers commanding the three hundred thousand troops under his control, though he claimed he had no intention of rebelling.
• Nian Gengyao became enraged when Prince Yong suggested that Nian Shilan enter his residence as a secondary consort rather than his principal wife.
• Nian Gengyao recalled that Prince Yong was expected to inherit the throne but differed from historical accounts, and he suspected the prince would threaten the Nian family once emperor.

Nian Gengyao resolved to rebel with his Northwest Frontier army, while the arrival of the Multiverse Investment Corporation gave him and others at the bottom of Multiverse City hope of advancing beyond Martial Dao. The chapter also revealed how Gao Yao had built his power, sold the flawed Elixir of Immortality and Star Core, and turned away from Yi Xiaochuan as the Chu-Han conflict unfolded.

• Nian Gengyao decided rebellion was his only path to power and planned to raise the three hundred thousand Northwest Frontier troops when Kangxi died.
• Nian Shilan entered Multiverse City for the first time, while Nian Gengyao recognized the Multiverse Investment Corporation as a chance to pursue Immortal Dao and eternal life.
• Gao Yao recalled becoming Zhao Gao, seizing the Elixir of Immortality and the treasure that had transported him and Yi Xiaochuan, then selling them in Multiverse City.
• Gao Yao discovered the Elixir of Immortality depended on the Star Core, sold it for Spirit Stones, and withdrew to cultivate rather than compete for power in the collapsing Qin Dynasty.
• After reaching Foundation Establishment, Gao Yao watched Xiang Yu die at the Wu River and left Yi Xiaochuan, whose immortality had vanished with the Star Core, searching for him.

The Multiverse Investment Corporation settled on taking thirty percent of a world’s source in exchange for helping clients like Nian Gengyao gain the cultivation and celestial artifact needed to seize it. The chapter explained why the deal was profitable and how beings powerful enough to threaten entire worlds were restrained or treated cautiously.

• Shi Yueyao's Yao Hua Pavilion filled with beings eager for a chance to seize world source.
• The Chat Group members agreed that the Multiverse Investment Corporation would take thirty percent of a client's world source as its investment return.
• The group decided that clients like Nian Gengyao would keep the celestial artifacts and cultivation granted to them after fulfilling their contracts.
• Chonglou's proposal to take fifty percent was rejected because the lower share would make their offer more competitive with Immortal Domain shopkeepers.
• The chapter described how the Book of Destiny gave Shi Yueyao leverage and how Heavenly Daos restrained powerful beings who could damage their worlds.

Low-level beings chose Multiverse Investment Corporation over Immortal Domain lenders, while some gamblers tried to freeload from the latter. Short of cultivation resources, Lin Daiyu returned to the Red Chamber World hoping to ask the Great Heavenly Worthy for help, but found his incarnation gone and feared he no longer cared about her.

• Low-level borrowers trusted the core district's Multiverse Investment Corporation despite its thirty-percent fee, while a few people chose Immortal Domain lenders in hopes of freeloading.
• Nian Gengyao and Gao Yao chose the core district because they wanted a safe way to earn World Source and advance their cultivation.
• Lin Daiyu worried that she would soon need Sacred Spirit Stones to progress beyond the Thirteenth Tier and wondered whether to ask the Great Heavenly Worthy for help obtaining the Red Chamber World's World Source.
• Lin Daiyu returned to the Red Chamber World and discovered that the Great Heavenly Worthy's incarnation had disappeared, leaving her convinced he might no longer be watching over or caring about her.
• Bai Yu had sensed fragments of Lin Daiyu's intense thoughts and casually recalled his Law Avatar while renovating Penglai Immortal Island.

Bai Yu decided to advance the Profound Light Pearl into an Innate Supreme Treasure by nourishing its Dao Seed with World Source. After collecting Multiverse City’s stored World Source, he headed to the Limitless World to carry out the advancement safely.

• Bai Yu admired the renovated Penglai Immortal Island, which had been fused with Fangzhang Immortal Island and concealed by its Island Defense Array.
• Bai Yu considered visiting Buzhou Mountain for opportunities but chose to focus on advancing the Profound Light Pearl.
• Bai Yu planned to mature the Profound Light Pearl’s four Dao Fruits so it could contain four complete Great Daos as an Innate Supreme Treasure.
• Bai Yu decided to advance the treasure in the Limitless World to avoid provoking unrest in the Primordial World.
• Bai Yu collected all the World Source stored in Multiverse City and left for the Limitless World.

Bai Yu nourished the Great Dao Tree with World Source until its four Dao Fruits matured into complete Time, Space, Destiny, and Karma Great Daos. After the tree withered, its deadwood partly reignited with life, and Bai Yu brought it back to Penglai Immortal Island for the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Divine Tree.

• Bai Yu fed the Great Dao Tree World Source from Lesser Worlds, Greater Worlds, and the Limitless World.
• The Great Dao Tree matured and produced four Dao Fruits containing the complete Time Great Dao, Space Great Dao, Destiny Great Dao, and Karma Great Dao.
• The Great Dao Tree withered and died after the four Dao Fruits fell, while Bai Yu collected the fruits.
• Bai Yu noticed a faint trace of vitality in the tree's deadwood, and the Dao Fruits helped it reignite with intertwined life and death.
• Bai Yu returned to Penglai Immortal Island and threw the revived deadwood toward the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Divine Tree.

Bai Yu brought the dead Great Dao Tree’s remnant together with the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Divine Tree, causing their sources and fortune to merge. After ten thousand years, the tree transformed its Life-Death Qi into supreme Yin-Yang Qi and formed the nascent Yin-Yang Great Dao in the Limitless World.

• Bai Yu let the deadwood be drawn into the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Divine Tree as their sources began to merge.
• Bai Yu uprooted the transforming tree and took it from the Primordial World to the Grand Luo Heavens of the Limitless World.
• Bai Yu examined the Dao Seed and realized it shared an origin with the tree and the deadwood, while the tree’s transformation began condensing a Nascent Grand Dao.
• Bai Yu spent ten thousand years cultivating and comprehending the Source Great Dao while the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Divine Tree transformed.
• The tree completed its transformation, turning its Life-Death Qi into Yin-Yang Qi and giving rise to the nascent Yin-Yang Great Dao in the Limitless World.

Bai Yu used the remaining World Source from the Limitless World to grow a Yin-Yang Great Dao Tree sapling and fused it with the Dao Seed inside a newly refined Profound Light Pearl. With the Innate Supreme Treasure granting him Dao Protection and Great Dao power he could freely control, he entered a Grand Cosmos to test it.

• Bai Yu nourished the Yin-Yang Great Dao Tree sapling with the remaining Limitless World Source, growing it to eight thousand zhang before transplanting it into the Dao Seed's Grotto-Heaven World.
• Bai Yu refined a new, exceptionally durable Profound Light Pearl from top-tier materials, combining it with the Dao Seed and Great Daos.
• The Profound Light Pearl protected Bai Yu with the auras of time, space, Destiny, and Cause and Effect, allowing him to wield its Great Dao power as his own.
• Bai Yu selected a Grand Cosmos with only three complete Great Daos and opened a gate into it without hiding his presence.
