Chapter Summaries

Guangchengzi and the Twelve Golden Immortals arrived at Golden Ao Island to punish the Interception Sect, but Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming greeted them with elaborate hospitality and procedural reforms. Guangchengzi found his anger blunted by the welcome, then faced a visitor registration form before he could proceed.

• Guangchengzi and the Twelve Golden Immortals saw a banner welcoming them to Golden Ao Island for inspection and guidance.
• Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming greeted the Chan Sect disciples with music, refreshments, and invitations to enter the island.
• Guangchengzi accused the Interception Sect of defying Heaven, but Daoist Duobao showed him a risk assessment report and claimed the sect had accepted the Heavenly Court's request.
• Guangchengzi noticed that Golden Ao Island's lethal arrays had been transformed into welcoming sights, while an Interception Sect disciple offered Chi Jingzi immortal brew and a visitor guidebook.
• Daoist Duobao pointed to the island's rules monument and presented Guangchengzi with a visitor registration form, asking him to sign in and state his purpose.

Daoist Duobao forced Guangchengzi and the Chan Sect immortals to follow Golden Ao Island’s visitor regulations, turning their mission to carry out Heaven’s punishment into a humiliating registration process. Chen Changsheng offered them a VIP passage instead, but revealed that it required an advance reservation.

• Daoist Duobao presented Guangchengzi with Golden Ao Island’s registration form and insisted that all visitors follow the island’s rules.
• Guangchengzi stopped Chi Jingzi from attacking and accepted the form to inspect it.
• Guangchengzi read the form’s options, dangerous-item disclosures, and liability terms, then cracked the jade brush in anger as the Twelve Golden Immortals prepared to fight.
• Chen Changsheng emerged and explained that allied sects’ Sage disciples could use a VIP passage instead of the standard form.
• Chen Changsheng told Guangchengzi that the VIP passage required an advance reservation and asked whether he had one.

Chen Changsheng used the Interception Sect’s appointment system to stall Guangchengzi and the Twelve Golden Immortals, then feigned injury when Guangchengzi shouted at him. The confrontation ended with the Chan Sect immortals told to join the ordinary visitor queue, where the Turtle Prime Minister held number 108.

• Chen Changsheng asked Guangchengzi whether he had an appointment and explained the Interception Sect’s visitor scheduling system.
• Chen Changsheng presented the Heavenly Secrets Appointment Verification System and asked whether Guangchengzi was visiting personally or on behalf of Jade Void Palace.
• Guangchengzi roared at Chen Changsheng, while Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming blocked the sound waves; Chen Changsheng pretended to be injured and accused Guangchengzi of attacking him.
• Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming threatened to fight the Chan Sect, and tens of thousands of Interception Sect disciples prepared for battle.
• Chen Changsheng stopped his allies and directed Guangchengzi to the ordinary visitor queue, where the Turtle Prime Minister held number 108.

Guangchengzi and the Chan Sect Twelve Golden Immortals arrived to confront the Interception Sect over its defiance of the Heavenly Court's decree, only to be forced into a queue under its rules. Chen Changsheng offered them an express window, but Wang Youcai presented a stack of forms before they could discuss the dispute.

• Guangchengzi and the eleven Golden Immortals found the East Sea Dragon Clan waiting in line at Golden Ao Island, with the Turtle Prime Minister holding ticket No. 108.
• Chen Changsheng argued that all guests had to follow the Interception Sect's first-come, first-served rules, and Guangchengzi ordered his junior brothers to queue.
• Wang Youcai cited the queue regulations when Guangchengzi tried to move to the front, while Guangchengzi's killing intent made him tremble but did not stop him.
• Chen Changsheng told Wang Youcai to open an Express VIP Window for the Chan Sect guests, and Guangchengzi sat down to discuss the Heavenly Court's decree.
• Wang Youcai gave Guangchengzi a stack of forms required by the Inter-Sect Dispute Resolution procedures.

Guangchengzi rejected Wang Youcai’s paperwork and tried to destroy the jade desk, but the table’s connection to Golden Ao Island’s protective array repelled him and issued him a fine. Chen Changsheng approached the shaken Guangchengzi and asked how he would pay.

• Wang Youcai explained the forms to Guangchengzi, who ordered him to scram and sent him flying with his aura.
• Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming confronted Guangchengzi after he injured Wang Youcai.
• Guangchengzi tried to smash the jade desk, but its array shield repelled his palm.
• The desk issued Guangchengzi a public-property fine requiring a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure or equivalent payment.
• Chen Changsheng approached Guangchengzi and asked whether he would pay by card or cash.

Chen Changsheng offered Guangchengzi several ways to pay his fine, but Guangchengzi tried to destroy Golden Ao Island instead. The Heavenly Dao credit system branded him the Primordial Era Dishonored Executor, and a Sage caught him as he fell and demanded an explanation from Tongtian.

• Chen Changsheng offered Guangchengzi a magic treasure mortgage or a ten-thousand-year installment plan to pay his fine.
• Guangchengzi stopped Chi Jingzi from intervening, then summoned the Heaven-Turning Seal and threatened to destroy Golden Ao Island.
• The fine notice assessed the impending damage and declared that Guangchengzi could not repay the losses, adding him to the Primordial Era Dishonored Executor list.
• The Heavenly Dao brand locked down Guangchengzi's magical power, and he fell as the Heaven-Turning Seal hung motionless above Golden Ao Island.
• A golden light caught Guangchengzi, and a Sage demanded to know what Tongtian had taught him.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate arrived at Golden Ao Island to confront Tongtian over Guangchengzi’s punishment, but Chen Changsheng explained the fine and Heavenly Dao blacklist as part of a conflict-resolution process. The crisis passed without a fight, and Tongtian ended by asking Chen Changsheng if he was the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God.

• Primordial Heavenly Venerate arrived and accused Tongtian of letting his disciples ruin Guangchengzi’s Dao heart and reputation.
• Tongtian saw the fine, the blacklist brand on Guangchengzi, and the orderly queue of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, then asked Duobao if his Dao Protector had caused the trouble again.
• Chen Changsheng explained that the fine quantified the consequences of Guangchengzi’s actions and that the Heavenly Dao Credit System had blacklisted him automatically.
• Primordial Heavenly Venerate took the unconscious Guangchengzi and the eleven Golden Immortals away, ending the confrontation without a fight.
• After the disciples dispersed, Tongtian asked Chen Changsheng whether he was the reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God.

Chen Changsheng convinced Sect Leader Tongtian that his actions came from a nightmare warning of the Interception Sect’s destruction, and Tongtian accepted him as an Innate Dao Child and elevated him to a personal disciple. The system rewarded Chen Changsheng and warned that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had noticed his new Process Dao.

• Sect Leader Tongtian suspected Chen Changsheng was a reincarnated Chaos Demon God, and his pressure left Chen Changsheng trembling and unable to speak.
• Chen Changsheng claimed he had dreamed of the Interception Sect’s defeat and explained that his rules and procedures were meant to help the sect survive.
• Tongtian accepted Chen Changsheng’s explanation, healed him, and decided he was an Innate Dao Child sent to protect the Interception Sect.
• Tongtian made Chen Changsheng his eighth personal disciple, gave him the Dao title Wuwei, and authorized him to command the Calamity Aversion Department with the Qingping Sword.
• The system awarded Chen Changsheng new abilities, a Chaos Bell fragment, and cultivation at peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal, then began upgrading to Version 3.0.
• The system detected an abnormal movement at Purple Cloud Palace and warned that Dao Ancestor Hongjun had become interested in Chen Changsheng’s Process Dao.

After Sect Leader Tongtian named Chen Changsheng his eighth personal disciple and elevated the Calamity Aversion Department, Dao Ancestor Hongjun summoned Chen to Purple Heaven Palace to explain his Process Dao. Chen accepted in principle but ordered an official letter asking Hongjun to complete a preliminary project survey first.

• Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming welcomed Chen Changsheng as their junior brother after Sect Leader Tongtian confirmed his status as the Interception Sect’s eighth personal disciple.
• Sect Leader Tongtian made the Calamity Aversion Department a core hub and ordered all Interception Sect members to follow its Process.
• Hongjun issued a decree summoning Chen Changsheng to Purple Heaven Palace to elucidate the Process Dao, which he said had disrupted heavenly secrets and karma.
• Chen Changsheng reassured Sect Leader Tongtian and told Daoist Duobao to summon his Siling and send Hongjun’s office an official letter.
• Chen Changsheng said the sect agreed in principle to the invitation but asked Hongjun to fill out a preliminary requirements survey before the Dao was explained.

Chen Changsheng persuaded Sect Leader Tongtian to answer the Dao Ancestor’s summons by making Hongjun follow the Interception Sect’s process, then sent him a cooperation proposal and survey form. Three days later, the Purple Gold Jade Slip returned with a mysterious addition to the project initiator field.

• Chen Changsheng argued that the Interception Sect had to make even the Dao Ancestor follow its rules to establish the Process Dao as a law of the Primordial World.
• Sect Leader Tongtian agreed to support Chen Changsheng, and Daoist Duobao drafted an official letter and requirements survey form for Hongjun.
• A Calamity Aversion Department disciple sent the Jade Slip toward the Purple Cloud Palace as the Interception Sect watched and waited for the Dao Ancestor’s response.
• After three days of silence, a streak of light returned the Jade Slip to Chen Changsheng.
• Chen Changsheng saw that an ancient character and a Heavenly Dao symbol had appeared beside the project initiator field.

Chen Changsheng interpreted Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s question mark as feedback that the first survey was too complicated, so he created a simplified exclusive version. When Hongjun sent an ordinary brush in response, Chen Changsheng concluded that the Dao Ancestor intended to fill out the form personally.

• Chen Changsheng explained that Hongjun’s question mark meant he was confused by the survey and needed clearer instructions.
• Chen Changsheng, Daoist Duobao, and Zhao Gongming held an emergency meeting and drafted a Dao Ancestor Exclusive Version 2.0 with multiple-choice questions and a feedback section.
• Daoist Duobao sent the revised survey through the passage to the Purple Cloud Palace.
• The next morning, an ordinary writing brush arrived from the Purple Cloud Palace.
• Chen Changsheng bowed to the brush and told Daoist Duobao to bring him the survey because he believed Hongjun would fill it out himself.

Chen Changsheng interpreted the Dao Ancestor’s returned Jade Slip as interest in his survey and arranged an elaborate station for him to fill it out. The Dao Ancestor completed the form, then appointed Chen Changsheng Process Immortal Official and authorized the Process to enter the Heavenly Dao.

• Chen Changsheng told Tongtian, Daoist Duobao, and Zhao Gongming that the Dao Ancestor’s question mark meant he wanted someone to explain the form.
• Chen Changsheng ordered Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming to prepare a lavish form-filling station at Golden Ao Island’s mountain gate.
• Chen Changsheng placed the survey on the Divine Iron desk and respectfully invited the Dao Ancestor to write.
• The Green Bamboo Brush filled the survey, choosing the final option for each main question and marking the user experience as clear and easy to understand.
• The brush wrote that the Process could enter the Heavenly Dao and appointed Chen Changsheng Process Immortal Official to organize the processes of the Three Realms.

After Dao Ancestor Hongjun appointed Chen Changsheng as Flow Official, the system evolved and granted him new powers and rewards. Chen Changsheng established a committee and issued his first edict: a comprehensive census of intelligent beings throughout the Three Realms.

• Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and Tongtian were stunned when Hongjun's Jade Slip named Chen Changsheng Flow Official and recognized Process as part of the Heavenly Dao's operation.
• Tongtian celebrated Chen Changsheng's appointment, and Chen Changsheng said the authority came from Heaven rather than from him or the Interception Sect alone.
• Chen Changsheng's system evolved into Version 4.0, granting him Heavenly Dao authorization, information retrieval, Process Edicts, thirty million portions of Great Dao Merit, Early Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, and the Heavenly Mandate Document.
• Chen Changsheng created the Three Realms Process Standardization Management Committee, naming Daoist Duobao first vice chairman and Zhao Gongming second vice chairman.
• Chen Changsheng issued his first edict, ordering a census of every intelligent being in the Three Realms and a unique Primordial Census Jade Slip for each one.

Chen Changsheng launched a Three Realms census using the Heavenly Mandate Document’s information authority to retrieve detailed records on any being. He assigned Interception Sect disciples to prepare census standards and a pilot team, then chose the East Sea Dragon Palace as their first target.

• Chen Changsheng explained that the census would record the Three Realms’ inhabitants, locations, affiliations, cultivation, techniques, and karmic ties.
• Chen Changsheng used the Heavenly Mandate Document to display detailed information about Ao Bing, convincing Daoist Duobao and Zhao Gongming that the census was possible.
• Chen Changsheng ordered Daoist Duobao to draft a registration form within three days, including family relationships and social background.
• Chen Changsheng tasked Zhao Gongming with selecting three hundred disciples and preparing a census pilot team and training plan.
• Chen Changsheng chose the East Sea Dragon Palace for the first census and ordered an official letter announcing that the team would assist the Dragon Clan with household registration.

Ao Guang received notice that the Three Realms Population Census Office would register the Dragon Clan under Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s decree. After Zhao Gongming’s Working Group overcame his resistance with official notices and policies, the census began in the Crystal Palace, ending with Ao Guang being asked for his political stance.

• A Shrimp Soldier delivered Golden Ao Island’s notice that the census office would visit the East Sea Dragon Palace to register the Dragon Clan.
• Ao Guang ordered three thousand naval troops to assemble and confront the Interception Sect’s Working Group.
• Zhao Gongming arrived with three hundred disciples and presented a notice citing Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s decree.
• Zhao Gongming offered Ao Guang a supplementary policy granting the Dragon Clan priority processing and honorary designations, and Ao Guang agreed to proceed.
• The Working Group turned the Crystal Palace into a temporary service hall and began recording Ao Guang’s information, then asked for his political stance.

Ao Guang tried to resist the Interception Sect’s census when its questions exposed the Dragon Clan’s history, affiliations, and wealth. Faced with threats of Heavenly Dao sanctions, he surrendered and was asked whether he would declare the assets or submit to an inventory.

• An Interception Sect registrar explained the census’s political stance options and recorded Ao Guang as the semi-independent Lord of the Four Seas.
• The registrar questioned Ao Guang about his marital status, descendants, participation in past tribulations, and history of punishment.
• When the registrar asked him to declare the Dragon Clan’s treasures and other fixed assets, Ao Guang erupted in fury and threatened the disciples.
• Zhao Gongming remained calm as the registrar presented penalties for refusing to cooperate, including freezing Heavenly Dao fortune and suspending the Dragon Clan’s jurisdiction.
• Ao Guang abandoned his resistance, and the registrar asked whether he would declare the assets voluntarily or allow an on-site inventory.

An Interception Sect disciple finished recording the East Sea Dragon Clan’s assets, family relations, and bloodlines, leaving Ao Guang utterly humiliated. Zhao Gongming then revealed a satisfaction survey and a bill for one hundred thousand Heavenly Dao Merit.

• The Interception Sect disciple questioned Ao Guang about the Dragon Clan’s treasures and resources, and Ao Guang chose to declare them voluntarily.
• The disciple recorded Ao Guang’s spouses and their bloodlines, then asked about his children and the dilution of the Dragon Clan bloodline.
• The disciple sealed the completed registration with the Calamity Aversion Department’s “Information Verified” stamp, and Ao Guang collapsed in exhaustion.
• Zhao Gongming told Ao Guang that the census was only the first step and presented a service satisfaction survey.
• Zhao Gongming presented the East Sea Dragon Clan household registration bill for one hundred thousand Heavenly Dao Merit and asked whether Ao Guang would pay by card or cash.

Zhao Gongming and the Interception Sect disciples demanded a hundred thousand Merit from Ao Guang for the Dragon Clan’s household registration service, leaving the East Sea Dragon King overwhelmed by the fees and the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions. Ao Guang paid ninety-eight thousand Merit after Zhao Gongming offered a two-percent discount for a glowing review, and the census team departed with his tearful satisfaction questionnaire.

• Zhao Gongming’s disciples presented Ao Guang with card machines and payment options for the hundred-thousand-Merit service fee.
• Ao Guang broke down sobbing as he weighed the fee against the consequences of resisting or refusing to cooperate.
• Zhao Gongming explained the benefits of joining the Three Realms Affairs system and offered a two-percent discount for a very satisfied rating and a three-hundred-word positive review.
• Ao Guang ordered Turtle Prime Minister to bring ninety-eight thousand Merit from the treasury and asked for the questionnaire.
• Zhao Gongming led the three hundred disciples out of the Crystal Palace with Ao Guang’s payment and a questionnaire praising their service.

After Zhao Gongming returned with the Dragon Clan’s census fees and a humiliatingly enthusiastic satisfaction review, Chen Changsheng spent the Merit to establish a Heavenly Dao-backed Primordial Credit System across the Three Realms. The new rules gave the census sweeping authority, and Chen chose Eight Views Palace as its next target.

• Zhao Gongming reported that he had registered the East Sea Dragon Clan and collected ninety-eight thousand Merit, presenting Dragon King Ao Guang’s blood-written five-star review.
• Daoist Duobao questioned whether the census could compel powerful groups to cooperate, and Chen Changsheng answered that the Process would be backed by Heavenly Dao.
• Chen Changsheng poured the Merit into the Heavenly Mandate Document, which proclaimed provisional credit-management rules for all living beings across the Three Realms.
• The Primordial Credit System tied credit scores to fortune, Merit, cultivation, and tribulations, with penalties for those who resisted Heavenly Dao Process.
• Chen Changsheng told Zhao Gongming to begin the next census at Eight Views Palace by delivering an official letter to Grand Master Xuandu for Grand Supreme Moral Heavenly Venerate.

Chen Changsheng persuaded the Interception Sect to treat the census visit to the Eight Views Palace as a respectful effort to calibrate the new Process against the Grand Supreme Moral Heavenly Venerate’s Dao. Zhao Gongming delivered the notice, and the palace’s master invited him inside.

• Chen Changsheng argued that visiting the Eight Views Palace first honored the Grand Supreme Moral Heavenly Venerate and presented the Process as a new principle aligned with Wuwei.
• Sect Leader Tongtian approved Chen Changsheng’s reasoning, and Zhao Gongming left alone for the Eight Views Palace with the Official Letter.
• Grand Master Xuandu met Zhao Gongming at the palace gates and asked whether his master’s Dao was also within the Process.
• Zhao Gongming replied that the Senior Uncle-Master’s Dao was the Process’s starting point and that the visit was meant to calibrate, not register.
• Xuandu accepted the Official Letter, and the Grand Supreme Moral Heavenly Venerate opened the palace gates and invited the Flow Official inside.
