After Ancestor Qiong Lan's attack failed to capture Qiong Ying, he and Mu Ge investigated the mysterious power behind her and Lin Tian. Mu Ge realized Lin Tian might be connected to an extraordinary force that could save Blue Star, while Ancestor Qiong Lan learned Lin Tian was from there.

• Lin Tian and Qiong Ying hid inside the Small World after Ancestor Qiong Lan's giant palm covered the surrounding region, and Lin Tian considered returning to the Profound Spirit Star Realm.
• Ancestor Qiong Lan told Mu Ge that Lin Tian had escaped his attack despite his lockdown, and that an unknown power had concealed Lin Tian's appearance.
• After learning the escape had happened about an hour earlier, Mu Ge connected the timing to Lin Tian and asked Ancestor Qiong Lan to compare the prodigy's aura with Qiong Ying Sovereign's.

• Mu Ge said he knew little about Lin Tian but hoped the force behind him could save Blue Star, and Ancestor Qiong Lan realized Lin Tian was from Blue Star.

After learning that Mu Ge and Ancestor Qiong Lan knew about his origins, Lin Tian chose to keep traveling rather than return to the Profound Spirit Star Realm. In the Vast Sea Empire, he discovered that the Ghost Soul Sect had secretly taken control of border star realms, leaving him worried about how far its infiltration had spread.

• Mu Ge told Lin Tian that Ancestor Qiong Lan suspected Qiong Ying had received the universe's blessing, making Lin Tian question Mu Ge's sudden change in attitude.
• Lin Tian decided to explore the universe instead of returning to the Profound Spirit Star Realm and traveled to the Vast Sea Star Realm to find Heavenly Palace members.

Lin Tian revealed that he had reached the Domain Lord Realm and prepared to enter the Thunder World Secret Realm alone, while Qian Mengling worried about his safety. Mu Ge and Ancestor Qiong Lan equipped Lin Tian and Qian Mengling with over a hundred life-saving treasures each, but Lin Tian was met by intense killing intent at the entrance to the Secret Realm.

• Lin Tian told Qian Mengling and Alisha that he had reached the Domain Lord Realm and intended to train in the Thunder World Secret Realm on his own.

• Alisha told Lin Tian that Mu Ge would personally accompany them to the Secret Realm entrance and wait for them to return.

Lin Tian and Qian Mengling entered the Thunder World Secret Realm with Mu Ge's protection and permission to kill any hostile prodigies. Lin Tian landed in the dangerous Thunder Sea and set out toward its islands in search of the Thunder Rule Divine Stone.

• Mu Ge gave Lin Tian and Qian Mengling life-saving spatial rings and urged them to kill anyone who threatened them, assuring them that Ancestor Qiong Lan and the Star Clan stood behind them.

• Lin Tian flew toward the Thunder Sea's central islands, dodged repeated lightning strikes, and believed his mastery of the Law of Lightning would let him reach them safely.

• Hundreds of figures emerged after the attacks stopped, and Lin Tian confronted them, saying he did not want to kill them.

Lin Tian fought prodigies who blamed him for the destruction of their factions and had prepared to kill him, using up many of his powerful trump cards to wipe them out. Worried that Qian Mengling might face the same kind of ambush, he raced from island to island, destroying each one as his trump cards nearly ran out.

• A prodigy from the Cosmic Mercenary Guild revealed that the Lightning Storm had been prepared to separate Lin Tian from the others, and the gathered prodigies attacked him to avenge their fallen factions.
• The prodigies exhausted their trump cards against Lin Tian, but barriers made by Mu Ge and Ancestor Qiong Lan protected him.
• Lin Tian used Ancestor Qiong Lan's paper talisman to unleash a sword radiance that split the island and obliterated the prodigies in its path.
• Lin Tian realized he had used nearly forty trump cards and worried that Qian Mengling might be in danger elsewhere in Thunder Sea.
• Lin Tian flew to other islands and destroyed them and their inhabitants with sword radiances until his trump cards were nearly gone.

Lin Tian and Qian Mengling struggled to survive the relentless hunt by heavenly geniuses seeking revenge on the Star Clan. When Lin Tian was trapped by a sealing formation, he summoned Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint, who slaughtered his attackers and left the remaining observers in despair.

• Lin Tian conserved his few remaining trump cards as he advanced through the Thunder Sea, while Qian Mengling hid among the central islands and used concealment and escape trump cards to evade her pursuers.
• Qian Mengling worried that her roughly ninety remaining trump cards would last only a month and hoped Lin Tian could withstand the attacks against him.
• Several dozen heavenly geniuses surrounded Lin Tian and claimed they had sealed the region so neither he nor his trump cards could escape.
• Lin Tian revealed Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint, who had been hidden in his spatial treasure, and ordered her to leave no survivors.
• Qiong Ying killed the attackers in an instant, leaving the heavenly geniuses watching from the islands in despair.

• Lin Tian restrained the object with Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint's powers and an "Imprisonment" trump card, revealing a sprite-like creature that the Crimson Demon Star God identified as the core of the Secret Realm.

After returning to Star Abyss Academy, Lin Tian considered whether Qian Mengling should use her special authority to take him back to the Forest of Life Secret Realm.

• Lin Tian considered whether to bring Qian Mengling into the Heavenly Palace, then asked the system whether his Small World could preserve the Life Divine Spring’s effects.
• The system confirmed that the upgraded Small World could preserve the spring, and that the Time Tower’s fourth level could fuse with it to retain its effects permanently.
• After several months cultivating on the first level of the Time Tower, Lin Tian used a guaranteed sign-in reward to break through to the Galaxy Realm.

Lin Tian planned to use his Time Tower and future summons to grow strong enough to challenge the universe’s top powers, while Mu Ge warned him about the Forest of Life and urged him to enter the Cosmic Prodigy Battle. On Blue Star, the nations faced an unexpectedly early inspection by the starry sky powers, before they had time to erase traces of Lin Tian and the others.

• After the man vanished, the Imperial Court Grand Elder and the others accepted that they could only place their hopes on Lin Tian.

Lin Tian avoided Qian Mengling’s request to enter the Forest of Life Secret Realm, while deciding to bring her into the Heavenly Palace so she could focus on cultivation.
