• Seventeenth Master claimed credit for resolving Golden Wind Tower’s conflict with Yun Shou and decided to use Thirteenth Master’s involvement to his own advantage.
• Yun Shou brought Wang Changnian to Zhong Yuman, kept Zhong alive with True Vital Energy while Wang hacked him apart, then let Wang deliver the fatal blow.

• Yun Shou spread True Vital Energy across the Yun Yang Star, raising vital energy levels across the world and restoring the Northern Desolate Mountains.

Yun Shou reflected on how the Yun Yang Realm generated and consumed vitality, then explored the northern sea before deciding to wait for his simulation attempts to refresh so he could help Chu Heshang. After beginning a new simulation, he wondered whether a long-running simulation might allow parallel timelines.

• Yun Shou reasoned that the Yun Yang Realm naturally generated vitality, but that increased vitality density would eventually be depleted by the cost of producing greater aptitudes and other special traits.
• Yun Shou explored the northern sea, visited the cave ruins, caught six Sea Serpents, and threw their unpleasant-tasting roasted meat back into the ocean.

• After the simulation attempts refreshed, Yun Shou began a new simulation and wondered whether one could refresh during an exceptionally long simulation.

At fourteen, Yun Shou ascended to the Azure Domain as a Supreme and went straight to Taicang City to demand the rookie benefits for lower-realm ascenders. He left the city’s officials terrified that he was accusing them of discrimination and corruption.

• Yun Shou raised Song Xiaohu and Chu Heshang’s essence limits to 101%, then decided to ascend to the Azure Domain.
• Yun Shou arrived at Taicang City and summoned its Heavenly Man officials, including City Lord Fu Xuanming and Deputy City Lord Zheng Qingfeng.
• Yun Shou told Zheng Qingfeng he had ascended from the Lower Realm and had come to collect the rookie benefits.
• Yun Shou accused Zheng Qingfeng of discriminating against lower-realm ascenders and suggested he had stolen their benefits, leaving the officials sweating and wondering if he was investigating corruption.

Yun Shou claimed to be a refugee from the Primordial Ancient Domain and gained the Azure Domain Human Race’s acceptance as a Supreme. At the Supreme Hall feast, he embellished the tale of humanity’s destruction and left the Supremes stunned with claims about his former domain’s powerful races.

• You told Zheng Qingfeng that you wanted to use the Omniscient Array and obtain an identity card, then claimed to be a human refugee from another domain seeking vengeance.
• After using the Omniscient Array, you proved your Fourth Realm cultivation to an Overlord Mid-stage cultivator, and news of a foreign Human Race Supreme spread to the Supreme Hall.
• Eight Supreme-level envoys welcomed you to the Azure Domain, and more than twenty Supremes hosted you at a banquet in the Supreme Hall.
• You told the Supremes a tragic story about the Primordial Ancient Domain, claiming humanity had sacrificed itself to send you away and that you were its last hope.
• The Supremes accepted you as one of their own, entered your name into the Supreme Ranking, and bestowed great fortune upon you.
• When a Supreme asked about the Primordial Ancient Domain’s strength, you claimed it had hundreds of Emperors and countless Kings, leaving the Supremes shocked.

You persuaded the Azure Domain Supremes to take your story seriously and asked to meet a Sixth Realm Emperor, only to learn their domain had none. After discovering their True Kings were fate-forced and their race was barely among the strongest, you prepared to reveal the Forty All-Essence Body.

• The Azure Domain Supremes realized that Sixth Realm beings had died for you and that the Human Race in your story had forged a powerful divine ability through sacrifice.
• You asked the Supremes to report your story to their leaders so you could meet a Sixth Realm Emperor and discuss your divine ability.
• The Supremes revealed that the Azure Domain had no Sixth Realm beings, and you asked whether a Fifth Realm King could meet you instead.
• King Supreme explained that the True Kings had been forcibly elevated by fate and that the Azure Domain Human Race was roughly as strong as the Demon and Devil Races.
• You agreed to tell the Supremes about the hope of your Primordial Ancient Domain and announced your Sacred Body as the Forty All-Essence Body.

Yun Shou revealed Essence Blessing, a divine ability that could enhance another Human’s essence, qi, spirit, talent, comprehension, and lifespan, and explained the restrictions he had placed on it. He chose Qi Jianming to test the ability, leaving the Supremes eager to see its effects.

• Yun Shou explained that his Fortyfold Battle Body could let him fight opponents across several levels, stunning the Supremes.
• Yun Shou revealed Essence Blessing and said it could increase a Human’s core qualities by onefold or severalfold.
• Yun Shou explained that Essence Blessing required fortune, had a weekly recovery time and individual limits, and could fail.
• Yun Shou said he had restricted the ability partly because he did not want someone else to surpass him through his own power.
• Yun Shou selected Qi Jianming to experience Essence Blessing and verify its effects.

Yun Shi Yi secretly raised Qi Jianming’s Essence and became the Human Race’s most treasured new Supreme. The Supreme Hall publicized his arrival, while Yun Shi Yi considered how destiny and resources could speed his cultivation.

• Yun Shi Yi used Return to Origin to secretly grant Qi Jianming an Essence boost, then told him his Essence could eventually reach its limit and promised to help him get there.
• The Supremes celebrated Yun Shi Yi as a precious asset, and King of Gold Di Huang spread news of the hidden Prodigy Supreme across the Human Race.
• The Monster and Demon races suspected the Human Race was preparing to anoint another Century King, since the races used destiny to create True Kings despite the permanent cost to their fortune.
• Yun Shi Yi reflected that the Human Race’s proper destiny blessing accelerated cultivation without consuming destiny, and he resolved to avoid the costly anointment method.
• Yun Shi Yi estimated that destiny and resources could cut his advancement to Middle-ranking Human Supreme from a thousand years of solitary cultivation to decades or even one year at great cost.

Yun Shou discovered that increasing true Essence raised the resources required for cultivation, while his external Essence amplification did not, and he decided the greater combat power and faster growth made the cost worthwhile. After Xu Shuanghua refused to risk lowering her rank to gain doubled Essence, the Human Race abandoned plans to enhance a True King and turned to strengthening Supremes.

• Yun Shou decided against risking his life for rapid cultivation and reflected that his long lifespan gave him time to grow safely.
• The Supreme Hall tested its enhancement method and prepared to awaken Xu Shuanghua so Yun Shou could increase her Essence.
• Xu Shuanghua noticed that enhancing her Essence to 103% increased the Destiny she consumed, revealing that true Essence required proportionally greater cultivation resources.
• Yun Shou concluded that the increased combat power and cultivation speed justified true Essence's resource cost, especially with the Simulator's access to unlimited resources.
• Xu Shuanghua declined to lower her rank and pursue doubled Essence because she could not reliably kill the stronger Demon Kings before her Destiny ran out.
• The Human Race dropped its plan to enhance True Kings and turned to raising Supremes, while Yun Shou kept his time-based ability secret and planned to extend his friends' lives.

Yun Shou expanded his Essence Blessing to the Human Race Supremes and brought Chu Heshang from the Yun Yang Realm to the Supreme Hall. By 2877, most Human Race Supremes had received an Essence Amplification, and Yun Shou estimated he could reach Mid-level Human Rank within twenty years.

• Yun Shou selected nineteen Supremes nearing the end of their lifespans or burdened by injuries and gave them higher Essence Upper Limits.
• Yun Shou told several Supremes about his friendship with a fisherman named Yun Shou, then arranged for a Giant City of Ascension to be built near the Yun Yang Realm.
• Yun Shou brought Chu Heshang to the Supreme Hall after Chu Heshang became a nineteen-year-old Grandmaster, and Chu Heshang learned Yun Shou was the First Supreme.
• More than a hundred Supremes attended the 2872 Supreme Banquet in person, while nearly two hundred joined through Origin Energy projections; the Supreme Hall verified that attendees were not spies.
• By 2877, most Human Race Supremes had received Essence Amplification, with recalled Supremes undergoing inspection before Yun Shou used his divine ability on them.

As Essence Blessing failures increased, Yun took a break from serving the Human race and devoted his annual personal opportunities to Xu Ling'er. In 2881, he visited the Misty Sect for the third time to inspect its rules for disciples who wanted to return home, leaving the sect’s leaders to follow his investigation.

• The Human race’s Supremes agreed that Yun could travel, asking him to report his location so they could make use of his refreshed divine ability.
• In 2878, Yun accepted Xu Ling'er as his disciple and began using his annual personal Essence Blessing opportunities on her.
• In 2879, Xu Ling'er became an Innate Saint Body, while Yun sent Xue Dongdong a bottle containing primordial energy from an ancient Ice Spirit embryo.
• In 2880, Supreme Cai arrived while Yun was doing health maintenance, and he completed her Essence Blessing.
• In 2881, Yun questioned the Misty Sect’s leaders about its rules for disciples returning home, then summoned the Sect Master and began an incognito inspection.

Yun Shou brought Chen Kongyu back to Xiaoli Village to stage a reunion with Xu Ling'er and expose Chen's self-deception about his childhood sweetheart. The journey ended with Xu Ling'er killing Chen, while Yun Shou blamed the Misty Sect for raising a twisted man.

• Yun Shou learned that Chen Kongyu claimed he would return to Xu Ling'er after reaching the congenital realm, then secretly used a Spirit Awakening Fruit to help him advance overnight.
• Chen Kongyu set out for Xiaoli Village with Yun Shou, Bi Wenjun, and two Misty Sect Supreme Elders, while Yun Shou filmed their journey as a reality show.
• The Misty Sect elders saw Song Zhizun visit Yun Shou and watched him lower his head to receive a pat, then received a warning to keep the encounter secret.
• After more than a month, Chen Kongyu reached Xiaoli Village and met Xu Ling'er, who was disguised as an old woman.
• When Chen Kongyu tried to act, the Misty Sect elders intervened, and Yun Shou stopped Xu Ling'er from counterattacking until she killed Chen herself.
• Yun Shou revealed that Xu Ling'er had waited nearly a hundred years for Chen and accused the Misty Sect of raising a twisted man.

Xu Ling'er chose to stay with you and cultivate, while you later met Qin Zhenhai in Vast Sea Condensing Waves and tried to reveal that he was secretly fighting sea demons as Xu Wuxin. Your evidence instead fueled rumors about the two men’s relationship, and the regional network administrator muted you before your comment could expose the truth.

• Xu Ling'er asked to remain by your side and repay your care, so you sent her to the Supreme Hall and shielded her from military service while she cultivated.
• In 2881, you heard of the undefeated Sun Bird Crown Prince in the Second Realm region and resolved that it would not survive to the Human-Monster Holy War.
• In 2882, you met Qin Zhenhai secretly on Sky Sea Island and promised to help him with the difficulties of ruling Vast Sea Condensing Waves.
• You circulated Spirit Shadow footage showing Qin Zhenhai leaving his manor at night, but viewers identified Xu Wuxin and spread rumors that the two were lovers.
• You pinned a comment arguing that Qin Zhenhai and Xu Wuxin were the same person, but the regional network administrator permanently muted you in the Vast Sea Condensing Waves section.

You intervened as Man-Slaying Overlord Whale approached Red Mountain Island, whose people prepared to defend their home despite facing certain defeat. You stopped the Island Lord and the others from charging to their deaths, then revealed you were a Dominator as the whale drew nearer.

• After Qin Zhenhai's name was cleared, the exposed weakness of the Human Race led Man-Slaying Overlord Whale to attack Red Mountain Island.
• The Island Lord chose to stay and defend Red Mountain Island, his home and the site of the Red Mountain Realm's Space Passage, rather than flee.
• You sunbathed on the beach and returned a fisherman's boat while Man-Slaying Overlord Whale and its sea demon forces approached.
• The Island Lord and the island's defenders flew to meet the giant waves, but you stopped them with an invisible barrier and pulled them back with true essence.
• The Island Lord asked whether you were a Dominator, and you confirmed that you were as he warned you that Man-Slaying Overlord Whale was among the Azure Domain's strongest sea demons.

A powerful outsider let Red Mountain Island believe it was doomed before casually slapping the Man-Slaying Overlord Whale out of the air and crushing its forces. The islanders recognized their rescuer’s overwhelming strength as the outsider seized the wounded whale and its mate.

• The island lord urged you to flee from the approaching Man-Slaying Overlord Whale, but you kept the islanders pinned in place with your true essence.
• The Man-Slaying Overlord Whale sent a colossal wave crashing toward Red Mountain Island while dismissing the humans below as insignificant.
• You slapped the whale aside, stopped the wave with an invisible barrier, and swept its surviving sea-demon forces into the sea.
• The island lord and the others gaped at you, then admitted that the whale should avoid your edge.
• You crushed the remaining Heavenly Human-level sea demons and lifted the wounded Man-Slaying Overlord Whale and its unharmed mate by their tails.

You cooked the Man-Slaying Overlord Whale and the Abyssal Demon Whale, then treated Red Mountain Island to a feast. When Supreme Wei Yun confronted you over your conduct, you discovered he was jealous of your privileges and beat him until he confessed.

• You shattered the two whales' demon essence, boiled them in a cauldron, and carried their meat across Red Mountain Island as a feast.
• The islanders panicked at the Man-Slaying Overlord Whale's roar, then watched you fly overhead with both legendary sea demons cooked in a cauldron.
• Three days later, Wei Yun accused you of indulging in pleasure and questioned whether you could face the humans of the Primordial Ancient Domain.
• You defended the feast as a way to strengthen humanity and claimed your Clan Fortune divine ability benefited from actions that helped the race.
• You used your future-sight ability to defeat Wei Yun and expose his jealousy over the resources and benefits you received.
• You kicked Wei Yun to the ground, pointing out that your Essence boosts had already improved his cultivation and extended his life.

You failed to give Wei Yun a blessing and humiliated him before he stormed away. After reviewing his strength and contribution record, you grew wary of him and asked Di Huang to monitor his movements, then considered blessing nonhuman allies and planned to use your unused Return to Truth opportunity.

• You rubbed Wei Yun's head while attempting a blessing, then told him it had failed because of his bad luck.
• You praised Wei Yun's head as one of the finest you had rubbed, and he flew away in anger.
• You checked Wei Yun's contribution record and realized his strength suggested he could have advanced to a higher rank.
• You contacted Di Huang, explained your concerns about Wei Yun, and asked it to watch him.
• You considered giving an Essence Blessing to nonhuman allies and planned to use your unused Return to Truth opportunity.

After exploiting sixty seconds of future cultivation, Yun Shou watched the death of the Man-Slaying Overlord Whale provoke a gathering of sea monsters at Sea Throne. The Sea Crown Prince vowed revenge on the humans, but an unknown voice behind it interrupted as it began to address the Human Race Supreme.

• Yun Shou consumed ultra-efficient Martial Dao Resources and used the future minute to gain nearly a month of cultivation without losing the remaining resources.
• News and video of the Man-Slaying Overlord Whale's death and its family eating its flesh spread through the Energy Network.
• The Sea Crown Prince and Jiao Tianwang gathered more than thirty Third Realm sea monsters at Sea Throne to discuss the whale's death.
• The Five Dire Sharks demanded that the Sea Crown Prince avenge their foster mother, the Abyssal Demon Whale, and kill the Human Race Supreme.
• The Sea Crown Prince promised revenge on the humans who ate the whale, then heard an unknown voice urging it to say what it would do about the Supreme.

You captured the sea demons who had been marching on Sky Sea Island and arrived in time to save it. Yun Shou reflected on how his changes had erased old regrets and resolved to pursue everything, even if reaching the Simulator’s level meant losing people and events along the way.

• You ambushed the Sea Crown Prince and Jiao Tianwang, captured more than thirty sea demons, and had their images recorded for Vast Sea Condensing Waves' regional network.
• Qin Zhenhai learned that thirty Third Realm sea demons were heading for Sky Sea Island and was told that you would arrive before them.
• The sea demons reached Sky Sea Island with the Wind Thunder Sword Pavilion's patriarchs bound among their spoils, and Qin Zhenhai prepared to delay their attack.
• You flung the sea demons into the island-protecting barrier, then appeared before Qin Zhenhai and bragged about your catch.
• Yun Shou mourned the people and events erased by his changes, then vowed to reach the Simulator’s level and claim both the past and the future.

From 2883 to 2886, Yun Shou settled in Vast Sea Condensing Waves, arranged for Supremes to hunt Third Realm sea monsters, and helped Qin Zhenhai build his foundation. The Human Race expanded its pressure on the Sea Race while the Sea Race held back its hidden Kings, and Yun Shou advanced to Mid-level Human Rank at age thirty-one.

• Yun Shou killed Zuo♂Fei and a Third Realm sea monster after discovering Zuo♂Fei had ordered Jiao Tianwang to eliminate Yun Shi, then left resources for Wei Yang’s family.
• Yun Shou had visiting Supremes hunt Third Realm sea monsters in exchange for Essence Blessings and guarantees, while giving most of his yearly blessings to Qin Zhenhai.
• Qin Zhenhai quickly filled his foundation by consuming Supreme-level martial Talent Aptitude during Essence Blessings, preparing for a stronger future breakthrough.

• In 2886, Yun Shou advanced to Mid-level Human Rank at age thirty-one with essence at 4047%.

You continued cultivating and overseeing disciples while Wei Yun accused you of deliberately making his Essence Blessings fail. The Supreme Hall’s trial sided with you, and you left Wei Yun furious after admitting you had never blessed him at all.

• You decided to wait decades before challenging Shi Lan and estimated that you needed about thirty years to reach the High-level Human Rank.
• You enhanced Qin Zhenhai’s essence in 2890, then left Vast Sea Condensing Waves and began periodically adding points to Xu Ling'er at the Supreme Hall.
• Wei Yun’s essence enhancement failed for the second time in a row, so he accused you of targeting him and filed a complaint with the Supreme Hall.
• Six Supreme envoys and fifteen Supreme jurors heard the case, but the Supremes sided with you and blamed Wei Yun for the dispute.
• You chased after Wei Yun and admitted that you had never performed an Essence Blessing on him, while Yun Shou mocked your pettiness.
