Li Yun left the Time Gorge after Pan Yin gave him a Flower of Time for Zhujiuyin and warned him about the danger surrounding Pangu’s inheritance grounds. He relayed Pan Yin’s information to Dijiang and hurried toward the exit, intending to perfect his Space-Time Law in Pangu Hall.

• Pan Yin gave Li Yun a silver-white Flower of Time and asked him to deliver it to Zhujiuyin so Zhujiuyin could reach the Gorge’s deepest region and improve his Time Rule.

• Li Yun headed for the entrance, planning to leave the dangerous area and perfect his Space-Time Law in Pangu Hall.

Li Yun discovered two unknown inheritance grounds and sensed that a Dao Ancestor-level creature was watching him, so he fled toward the entrance. Before leaving, he glimpsed a five-colored altar and a bronze coffin covered in Chaos Divine Marks, then returned to Pangu Hall still wondering what secrets the inheritance grounds held.

• Li Yun used the Heavenly Emperor's Eye to reveal twelve inheritance grounds, including two strange black mountains unknown to Pan Yin.

• Li Yun returned to Pangu Hall through the Space Tunnel, unaware that the coffin trembled and enormous eyes opened within the other inheritance ground.

Li Yun completed his Space-Time Law and created a space-time coordinate seed to safeguard his return from the River of Time. After storing the seed in Pangu Hall, he fed a half-step spatial rule into his law, bringing it closer to its ultimate limit.

• A Great Witch asked Li Yun about the Ancestor Witches, and Li Yun said they remained inside undergoing their inheritance and told the Witch Clan to keep watch.

• Li Yun fed the half-step spatial rule into his Space-Time Law, strengthening it toward the ultimate limit of Law.

Li Yun spent three thousand years reviewing his abilities and preparing for the Chaos and the River of Time, then condensed another coordinate seed. After emerging from Pangu Hall, he learned that the Earthly Dao’s Canonization of the Gods remained stalled and that all four Daos were planning to move against him.

• Li Yun found that his perfected laws, body, and cultivation offered little room for immediate improvement, so he decided to cultivate and prepare more coordinate seeds in secret.
• After three thousand years of secluded cultivation, Li Yun condensed another coordinate seed and learned that the next one would also take three thousand years.
• Xing Tian greeted Li Yun outside Pangu Hall, and Li Yun told him that the Twelve Ancestor Witches’ matters remained unresolved.
• Xing Tian explained that the Earthly Dao’s Canonization of the Gods could not finish soon because the required participants had not appeared and the four Daos were holding back from all-out war.
• Xing Tian warned Li Yun that the four Daos of Heaven, Earth, Humanity, and Demons seemed to be planning to move against him.

Li Yun learned from Xing Tian that a Heavenly Dao Envoy had revealed the four Daos’ plan to kill him, then advised Xing Tian to keep feigning cooperation while preserving a fallback for the Witch Clan. Li Yun traveled to the Demon Court, where he interrupted a standoff and asked Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi to speak with him.

• Xing Tian told Li Yun that a Heavenly Dao Envoy had tried to recruit him and revealed that the four Daos had joined forces to eliminate Li Yun.

• Li Yun arrived at the Demon Court on the Solar Star and found Dijiang, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Di Jun, and others facing off in a tense standoff.
• Li Yun told Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi that he had something to discuss with them and asked the others to wait.

Li Yun persuaded Di Jun to place a false space-time coordinate seed in the Solar Star, helping him create a misleading trail while concealing the real seed in Pangu Hall. He then recognized that Eastern Emperor Taiyi had become a Devilish Dao Saint and confronted him about it.

• The Demon Gods left the Demon Emperor's Palace after warning Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi that they expected an explanation about the Investiture of the Gods.

• Li Yun congratulated Eastern Emperor Taiyi on attaining Dao and revealed that he had recognized the pure Devilish Dao aura within him.
• Eastern Emperor Taiyi warily asked whether Li Yun had noticed his secret.

Li Yun made Eastern Emperor Taiyi agree not to harm the Human Race and placed a hidden coordinate seed on him, promising the position of representative of the Demonic Path if he protected Li Mo. After Li Yun left, Di Jun returned, and the brothers turned to pacifying the other Demon Gods.

• Li Yun reassured Eastern Emperor Taiyi that he would not interfere with his affairs if he stayed away from the Human Race, and Taiyi agreed.
• During their handshake, Li Yun planted a Space-Time coordinate seed on Eastern Emperor Taiyi and promised him a chance to surpass himself.
• Li Yun revealed that Li Mo was his avatar and offered Eastern Emperor Taiyi the position of representative of the Demonic Path if he protected Li Mo.

• Di Jun returned and asked where Li Yun had gone, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi said the matter was settled before proposing they discuss pacifying the other Demon Gods.

Li Yun planted fake Space-Time Seeds throughout the Star Domain and Primordial World, then announced a sermon before visiting Laozi after perfecting his Space-Time Law. He planned to enter the River of Time after the sermon and asked Laozi for the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda to protect himself.

• Li Yun spent a hundred years planting fake seeds across the Star Domain and another five hundred years scattering them throughout the Primordial World, where they caused deaths, fortuitous gains, and rumors of divine seeds.
• Li Yun returned to the Great Emperor Palace and ordered a thousand-year sermon to be announced for the Human Race and its affiliated cultivators.
• Li Yun entered the Humanity Dao Space and told Laozi that he had perfected the Space-Time Law and would investigate the River of Time after delivering his sermon.
• Li Yun suspected the Humanity Dao was increasingly assimilating Laozi and decided he needed to resolve the situation quickly.
• Li Yun asked Laozi to give him the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda so he could protect himself in the River of Time.

Li Yun borrowed the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda from Laozi, whose struggle with Humanity Dao briefly eased, then returned to prepare for a thousand years of preaching to the Human Race. After the preaching, Laozi revealed that he planned to make Li Yun leave the Primordial World so he could gain greater control over the Human Race.

• Li Yun asked Laozi to lend him the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, and Laozi gave it to him after Li Yun used his Heavenly Emperor's Eye to suppress Humanity Dao's interference.

• After completing his preaching, Li Yun disappeared from the venue.

Li Yun persuaded Laozi to delay their journey into the Sea of Chaos by attacking Zixiao Palace, giving him time to refine a backup plan. Laozi’s assault drew Hongjun out, and the two began fighting as Li Yun watched.

• Li Yun told Laozi that his work concerning the Human Race was finished and suggested they attack Zixiao Palace before leaving for Chaos.
• Laozi agreed, opened a Space Tunnel, and brought Li Yun through Chaos to Zixiao Palace.
• Laozi told Li Yun to stay back, then struck Zixiao Palace’s barrier with an enormous azure sword.
• Hongjun appeared and attacked Laozi with the Destruction Mill.
• Laozi summoned a sword, and it collided with the Destruction Mill, sending destructive shock waves through Chaos.

While Laozi and Hongjun fought, Li Yun slipped into Zixiao Palace and discovered Treasure Distribution Cliff. He took it into his Thirty-Six Heavens and prepared to search the palace for more treasures.

• Laozi attacked Hongjun, and the two Dao Ancestors clashed as their battle tore through the Chaos and Void.
• Li Yun left the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda and used the Space-Time Law to bypass Zixiao Palace's barrier.
• Li Yun searched the palace square with his Heavenly Emperor's Eye and recognized a strange mountain as Treasure Distribution Cliff.
• Li Yun lifted Treasure Distribution Cliff, sensed its power stirring his blood and qi, and sent it into his Thirty-Six Heavens.
• Li Yun turned toward the gates of Zixiao Palace and prepared to search inside.

Li Yun ransacked Zixiao Palace, dismantling its treasure-built halls and transferring more than four hundred spiritual roots into his Thirty-Six Heavens. He then confronted Hongjun’s attendants Jade Pool and Haotian, who discovered the ruined garden and threatened him with their master.

• Li Yun used the Profound Yellow Axe to break the restrictions in Zixiao Palace and stripped the front hall of its floors, walls, pillars, and Lotus Throne.
• Li Yun entered the rear hall and moved more than four hundred spiritual roots into his Thirty-Six Heavens.
• Jade Pool and Haotian confronted Li Yun after finding the garden bare, and Haotian warned him that Hongjun would punish him.
• Li Yun released his aura and forced Jade Pool and Haotian to their knees.

• Jade Pool tried to refuse Li Yun, but Haotian revealed that a small world was hidden inside Zixiao Palace.
• Li Yun knocked Jade Pool unconscious and ordered Haotian to lead him to the hidden world.
• Haotian led Li Yun to a mural of Demon Gods, and Li Yun used Heavenly Emperor's Eye to find three living Chaos Demon Gods within it.
• Li Yun began feeding Magical Power and blood essence into the mural to open it.
• Haotian tried to flee, but Li Yun knocked him unconscious as a seven-colored vortex appeared on the mural.

Li Yun entered the Chaos space and discovered three dead Chaos Demon Gods, using their memories to learn that Luohu had ambushed and killed two of them. He stored those corpses in the Thirty-Six Heavens and realized the third was a composite body made from fragments of many Chaos Demon Gods, which could greatly strengthen his Heavenly Emperor true body.

• Li Yun entered the seven-colored vortex and found three enormous Chaos Demon God corpses in a pure Chaos space.
• Li Yun examined the first corpse and learned from its memories that Luohu had pierced its chest and taken its heart after it was wounded by the Sky-Opening Axe.
• Li Yun absorbed the first corpse into the Thirty-Six Heavens and ordered Li Shen to relocate living beings from two Great Thousand Worlds.
• Li Yun examined the second corpse and learned that Luohu had also ambushed and killed it before storing it in the Thirty-Six Heavens.
• Li Yun discovered that the final body was assembled from fragments of more than a dozen Chaos Demon Gods, and considered devouring it to strengthen his true body.

Li Yun escaped Zixiao Palace through a Space-Time Tunnel but was ambushed by a mysterious man with a Dao Ancestor-level aura. The man demanded one of the Chaos Demon God corpses, and Li Yun refused as the stranger unleashed a Law domain that weakened him.

• Li Yun absorbed the Chaos Demon God True Body into his Thirty-Six Heavens and left Zixiao Palace through a Space-Time Tunnel.
• A mysterious attacker struck Li Yun from behind, but Li Yun dodged and wounded the attacker’s arm with the Profound Yellow Axe.
• The black-mist-shrouded man emerged from a spatial vortex, recognized Li Yun’s Xuanhuang Qi and Sky-Opening Axe energy, and demanded a Chaos Demon God corpse.
• Li Yun refused to surrender a corpse and challenged the man to take it himself.
• The man released a purple-red killing intent that formed a Law domain and reduced Li Yun’s strength by thirty percent.

Li Yun fought a mysterious Dao Ancestor in Zixiao Palace, using his Time Rule Domain and Profound Yellow Axe against the man's Slaughter Law Domain and Chaos Spiritual Treasure. After the palace was destroyed and the battle moved into Chaos, Li Yun drew on Humanity Dao and Earthly Dao power and struck at the wounded man again.

• Li Yun opened his Time Rule Domain, countering the man's Slaughter Law Domain, but refused to surrender the item.

• Li Yun stepped before the man and cleaved at him with the Profound Yellow Axe.

Luohu revealed that he was drawing on the Demonic Path and overwhelmed Li Yun, forcing him to flee into Chaos. As Luohu continued pursuing him, Li Yun realized he had been tracked and decided to head for the Chaos Sea to turn the tables.

• Li Yun recognized his attacker as Luohu after seeing him wield the power of the Demonic Path.
• Luohu struck Li Yun with his spear, and Li Yun used the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda to survive the blow and escape into Chaos.
• Li Yun fled at full speed, knowing he could not defeat Luohu, while Luohu pursued him.
• Li Yun used Chaos storms and his Space-Time Law to widen the gap, but he realized Luohu could still track his location.
• Li Yun decided to head to the Chaos Sea so he could take the initiative.

Laozi broke off his battle with Hongjun to pursue Li Yun and Luohu, while Hongjun learned that Zixiao Palace had been plundered and Haotian killed. Enraged by the theft of his Chaos Demon God corpses, Hongjun set off after Li Yun and Luohu.

• Laozi sensed Li Yun and Luohu fleeing together, warned Hongjun that he would settle their old score another time, and rushed to help Li Yun.
• Hongjun realized Laozi had grown strong enough to threaten him and feared Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian might soon reach the Dao Ancestor level too.
• Jade Pool arrived in a weakened state and told Hongjun that Li Yun and a demon-shrouded figure had raided Zixiao Palace, killed Haotian, and taken its treasures.
• Jade Pool asked Hongjun to save Haotian, and Hongjun took the Chaos Origin Stone and sent her back to Zixiao Palace.
• Hongjun discovered that Li Yun and Luohu had stolen his Chaos Demon God corpses and pursued them, vowing that they would pay.

Li Yun discovered that Luohu tracked him through the powers of Humanity Dao and Earthly Dao, so he used more than three hundred avatars to mislead his pursuer. As Laozi and Hongjun met near one of Li Yun’s hidden avatars, Hongjun proposed an alliance to stop Luohu from absorbing something stolen from Zixiao Palace.

• Li Yun realized that the powers of Humanity Dao and Earthly Dao on him were allowing Luohu to track him, so he sent out more than three hundred avatars and continued onward without those powers.
• Luohu found the avatars, created his own demonic avatars, and pursued one of them while Li Yun’s hidden avatar watched from a Chaos storm.
• Laozi arrived near the hidden avatar, followed by Hongjun, and Laozi challenged Hongjun over whether he intended to stop him.
• Hongjun asked Laozi to cooperate, explaining that Luohu had taken something from Zixiao Palace that could let him surpass the Dao Ancestor realm if he absorbed it.

Hongjun persuaded Laozi to help recover two Chaos Demon God corpses by promising him one, while both secretly planned to take advantage of the other. Li Yun learned that Laozi had been affected by a trap and sent Li Shen to examine the corpses, who discovered he could fuse them into his true body.

• Hongjun revealed that Luohu possessed two nearly intact Chaos Demon God corpses that could become Hunyuan Wuji Sage-level combat forces.
• Laozi agreed to help Hongjun in exchange for one corpse, and the two sent avatars to pursue Luohu while plotting to reclaim the corpses for themselves.
• After Hongjun and Laozi left, Li Yun's concealed avatar dispersed, and Li Yun concluded that his Master had been affected by a trap involving the four Daos and those who Merged with Dao.
• Li Yun sent a message to Li Shen asking him to inspect the Demon God corpses and determine whether he could refine them into true-body puppets.
• Li Shen told Li Yun that he could fuse the corpses into his true body and expected to reach at least the Dao Ancestor level.

Li Yun reached the dangerous Chaos Sea and suspected that living Chaos Demon Gods might remain within it. He refined a body incarnation for reconnaissance and prepared to control it with the Space-Time Law.

• Li Yun told Li Shen to begin refining a puppet true body and planned to make another puppet incarnation from a Chaos Demon God corpse once he reached the Chaos Sea.
• Li Yun traveled into the depths of Chaos and found the boundless Chaos Sea, whose violent aura threatened even Dao Ancestors.
• Li Yun suspected that powerful Chaos Demon Gods might still be alive in the sea and considered using Hongjun and the others to distract them while he investigated.
• Li Yun formed a Saint-level incarnation, judged it too vulnerable to enter the Chaos Sea, and decided to refine it into a body incarnation.
• After more than two hundred years, Li Yun completed the body incarnation and chose the Space-Time Law to control it.

Li Yun sent an incarnation into the Chaos Sea to investigate its mysteries and found a living Chaos Demon God whose cultivation surpassed that of a Dao Ancestor. After the figure exposed Li Yun's disguise, he introduced himself as Yang Mei, leaving Li Yun stunned.

• Li Yun transferred the perfected Space-Time Law into an incarnation and sent it into the Chaos Sea.
• Li Yun endured the Chaos Sea's crushing pressure and followed the gathering Chaos spiritual energy to an enormous vortex.
• Li Yun spotted a living Chaos Demon God at the vortex's center and sensed that the figure was a Hunyuan Wuji Sage.
• The figure noticed Li Yun and identified him as an incarnation, but assured him that he meant no harm.
• The Daoist said he had come from the Primordial World and revealed his name as Yang Mei, whom Li Yun recognized with shock.

Li Yun spoke with Yang Mei, who confirmed his past and learned how Li Yun had reached the Chaos Sea while being pursued by the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, Humanity Dao, and Devil Dao. Yang Mei warned Li Yun against seeking the River of Time and offered him shelter, leaving Li Yun tempted by the protection.

• Li Yun recognized Yang Mei as an ancient powerhouse whose history the Heavenly Dao had erased from the Primordial World.
• Yang Mei confirmed that he had left the Primordial World to preserve his freedom and asked Li Yun about his circumstances.
• Li Yun explained his rise, his conflicts with the four Dao powers, and his plan to find the River of Time.
• Yang Mei warned Li Yun that entering the River of Time was too dangerous and urged him to give up the plan.
• Yang Mei offered Li Yun shelter and asked him to grow strong enough to help with a few matters, and Li Yun considered accepting.

Li Yun refused Yang Mei’s offer of shelter but agreed to help eliminate Luohu and Hongjun in exchange for information and aid reaching the River of Time. After Yang Mei destroyed Li Yun’s avatar to locate his true body, Li Yun prepared a clone to settle other matters as spatial power gathered nearby.

• Li Yun rejected Yang Mei’s offer, suspecting that Yang Mei had hidden motives.
• Yang Mei offered to share information, protect Li Yun in the Chaos Sea, and help him reach the River of Time if Li Yun swore to eliminate Luohu and Hongjun.
• Li Yun made a Dao Heart oath to eliminate Luohu and Hongjun once Yang Mei fulfilled his promises.
• Yang Mei crushed Li Yun’s avatar and used its remains to open a Space Tunnel toward Li Yun’s true body.
• Li Yun received the avatar’s memories, accepted that Yang Mei would locate him, and sent out a clone infused with Humanity Dao and Earth Dao Power.
• Spatial power surged before Li Yun as he prepared to settle other matters.

Li Yun escaped through a Space Tunnel after detonating his clones throughout Chaos, leaving Luohu to realize that Li Yun had taken the Chaos Demon God corpse. Hongjun and Laozi then confronted Luohu, and the three began an all-out battle over the corpse.

• Li Yun entered the Space Tunnel and detonated his clones throughout Chaos, causing his pursuers to lose their targets.
• Luohu gathered his clones’ memories and realized Li Yun had escaped with the Chaos Demon God corpse.
• Hongjun and Laozi found Luohu and sealed off the region with their Law domains.
• Hongjun attacked Luohu, believing he had destroyed Zixiao Palace and stolen the corpse.
• Laozi joined Hongjun against Luohu, and the three fought amid the destruction of the surrounding Chaos.
