Chapter Summaries

Zhao Xing and Ji Si questioned Shu Ji about the Thousand Feather Great World, exposing his lie about the Reincarnation Temple and forcing him to die rather than name its participant. After Ji Si erased Qing Yuzi’s memories of the interrogation, the group climbed Star Fortune Peak, where Qing Yuzi hoped to perfect his techniques.

• Zhao Xing exposed Shu Ji’s lie about the Reincarnation Temple, and Shu Ji refused to identify its participant, so Ji Si burned him to death.

After leaving other climbers a chance to use the remaining divination power, he set out to search for fate masters’ treasures.

• Qing Yuzi failed to create a Divine King soul technique, and Zhao Xing learned that Yun Tian Dao had traveled through space-time with the Five Abyss Thunder God Department; Zhao Xing ordered Ji Si to bring him back.

• Zhao Xing used his clone to create the Nether Ancient Mountain Di Bian Method, and fate masters across Ten Directions Mountain proclaimed that he would become Dao Master.
• Zhao Xing confirmed he had created two Divine King arts, declined to let Qing Yuzi learn them, and chose not to use the remaining divination power so others could have a chance.

Zhao Xing sealed Ten Directions Mountain by creating the Mountain Sealing Spell, then asked Bowei about signs of the Heaven Reaching River after seeing living rivers beneath the Dao Manifestation Layer. Their locations corresponded to the Empire's Primordial Beginning Realm and the Chenluo Desolate Territory.

• Ji Si entered the passage to seek the Five Aspects Divination, while Zhao Xing guarded the Eight Directions Divine Mirror and allowed Luan Ping to enter and challenge her.
• Bowei arrived with his avatars and fought Zhao Xing for access to the passage, using the Divination Brush against Zhao Xing's Netherworld Straw Man.
• The Carefree Sword Master emerged through Zhao Xing's broken sword, seized the Divination Brush, then returned it to Bowei and warned him not to use it against Zhao Xing again.
• Ji Si emerged victorious over Luan Ping with the Five Aspects Divination and inherited power from Shu Ji, the Causeless School, and the Spirit Mirror School, reaching the Divine King Realm.

He crossed the transformed Xuanling Star Domain to reach the Primordial Beginning Realm, where an attack destroyed his clone and forced him to flee.

• Zhao Xing traveled toward the Red Star Empire, aiding people through his divine power as the star domain transformed, then found the Abundant Valley Pass destroyed and ended the suffering of a mutated survivor from the Manya Legion.
• After nearly nine months, Zhao Xing reached the Primordial Beginning Realm and called out to the Derivation God Palace Master, but an attack shattered his Summer Straw Man clone, so he hid and fled with the Netherworld Straw Man.

Zhao Xing escaped the Xuan Yang Palace Master’s attack with the Carefree Sword Master’s help, only to learn that the Moon God Palace Master had agreed to strip him of his powers and exile him. After revealing Xuan Yang’s conspiracy and destroying Zhao Xing’s cultivation methods, the Moon God Palace Master sent him into the wilderness of the age before the Five Emperors.

• The Moon God Palace Master sent Zhao Xing through the River of Space-Time to the wilderness of the age before the Five Emperors, and Zhao Xing thought he saw the Moon God Palace Master wink.

The Moon God Palace Master sent Zhao Xing’s soul through the River of Time to possess Shu Ji and True Lord Rui Yan, letting him regain and study the Great Dao of Time. His third possession brought him into Ming Li’s Life Palace, where the second Divine Emperor prepared to show him how a God King became a Dao Master.

• The Xuan Yang Palace Master explained to the Moon God Palace Master that Zhao Xing had been exiled because two Supreme Dao Masters in one era would leave an incomplete Divine Emperor.

• Zhao Xing found the Eternal Realm method on the box’s metal plate and recognized the glowing orb inside as a Primordial Divine Stone.

Zhao Xing cultivated the second Eternal Realm method in the frozen spacetime, breaking through to Dao Master-level will and divine soul while his Internal World expanded. He discovered that he was the Master of Cold Food Festival, learned the Desolate Territory Faction had prepared a false Extreme Star to help him balance the three factions, and was left awaiting the answer to what he should do upon returning.

• Zhao Xing used the Eternal Dao Diagrams to temper his will, discovered new life in the frozen spacetime, and began cultivating World Soul as the destruction storm threatened his territory.

He returned to the Primordial Beginning Realm during its destruction and entered Chi Ming Palace, where his arrival halted Gu Xiao’s assault on the Red Star Great Emperor.

After Zhao Xing rescued Zheye Dao Master and claimed the Divine Sound branch, Ji Si traced the next branch to Chaos Era 64, where more Dao Masters awaited.

• Zhao Xing and his companions learned that dark beings and upheaval in the Chaos Era had driven wounded gods and Dao Masters downstream, so they hurried their repairs and entered the Chaos Era.

Zhao Xing resurrected Wei Tianchen, restored Bamboo Sword, and helped rebuild the universe as the sixth Divine Emperor, but his long effort to prevent the Great Destruction left him isolated through countless epochs. As the universe entered annihilation, he discovered that Bowei’s Dao of Degradation Renewal had helped new stars and life emerge, and he finally understood how the Realm Transmission’s last cycle returned to him.

Zhao Xing took Liu Tianning’s advice to stop relying on future observation and pursued a True Self Faction approach to the Great Destruction, eventually fusing the three sacred trees into a Mother Tree that might break the universe’s limit of one hundred void levels. As Bowei and Liu Tianning raced to investigate the result, the story shifted to Duan Jiahao, who saw the sky announce a successful update to Eternal World Tree.
