• Lin Tian declared that he would kill the prodigies of the Ten Great Universes and the factions targeting him, alarming their supporters among the spectators.

• The Ni Sheng Sect’s Eternal Immortal Venerable threatened to kill the Heavenly Palace’s Eternal Immortal Saints, and Star Wish sharply asked whether the sect intended to go to war with the Star Clan.

Star Wish killed three Ni Sheng Sect experts and forced its representative to answer for the Ten Great Universes’ plans and experiments in the Hong Zun Universe. The representative disavowed the Ten Great Universes, and Star Wish ordered an investigation into the race used for experiments while leaving Lin Tian’s affairs to his backer.

Lin Tian and Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint controlled access to the Secret Realm’s central island and eliminated prodigies from factions that had targeted him. When the first stage ended, fewer than ten thousand of the hundred thousand contestants remained, and the watching factions feared the power of the Heavenly Palace and the Star Clan.

• As prodigies arrived, Lin Tian had Qiong Ying send those from uninvolved factions through the Space Tunnel and erase those from factions that had targeted him.
• The first stage ended with fewer than ten thousand of the hundred thousand prodigies remaining, while the Virtual Universe Company, the Cosmic Bank, and the Top-tier Cosmic Empires restrained their fury at the Heavenly Palace and the Star Clan’s power.

After Lin Tian returned from the Secret Realm, Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint revealed her overwhelming strength, and Lin Tian agreed to give Star Wish a Heaven's Gate Token. Lin Tian entered the Time Tower to cultivate, then learned that the next stage would take place in the Dream Realm Extreme Domain.

• Lin Tian, Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint, and Qian Mengling left the Secret Realm after waiting three days for the missing prodigies.
• Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint suppressed the enraged Star Gods, and Ancestor Qiong Lan revealed that she had reached Cosmic Supreme Saint Realm Eighth Heaven.

• Star Wish asked Lin Tian for a Heaven's Gate Token, and Lin Tian agreed while explaining that Heavenly Palace members could use it to travel to the Star Clan with his consent.
• Lin Tian entered the Time Tower to cultivate, and ten days later Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint informed him that the next stage would be held in the Dream Realm Extreme Domain.

Lin Tian learned that Guimeng Holy Land had introduced the Dream Realm Extreme Domain as a safe, individual trial for the second stage of the Prodigy Battle. After entering, he wandered through its mist, drawn toward an indistinct voice that asked what was real.

• Lin Tian asked about the Dream Realm Extreme Domain, and Star Wish explained that Guimeng Holy Land had helped protect Blue Star and would use its supreme treasure for the competition.
• Star Wish said each prodigy would face separate trials in the Dream Realm Extreme Domain and warned Lin Tian not to believe anything unimaginable he encountered there.
• Two days later, an Eternal Immortal Venerable from Guimeng Holy Land used the treasure's power to send the Galaxy Realm prodigies into the dream domain.
• Lin Tian entered the mist, lost awareness of the Heaven's Gate Token and his companions, and followed a faint voice asking what was real.

At the Prodigy Battle venue, Star Wish learned that the Dream Realm Extreme Domain had lost contact after the prodigies entered it. Inside, Lin Tian encountered a dream of his university days before the domain shattered around him.

• Ancestor Qiong Lan asked whether Lin Tian and the other prodigies were safe, and Star Wish assured him that their real bodies were protected inside the Dream Realm Extreme Domain.
• The Guimeng Holy Land Eternal Immortal Venerable reported that the Dream Realm Extreme Domain had lost contact, and Star Wish vanished with the visitor.
• Ancestor Qiong Lan worried about Lin Tian and the others, then released an aura that terrified everyone at the venue before he calmed himself.
• Lin Tian walked through the mist, found a scene at Magic City University, and realized he was dreaming while his companions remained inside his Small World.
• The university scene shattered, cracks spread through the misty world, and Lin Tian sensed Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint and Qian Mengling nearby.
• The hole in the mist rapidly expanded, and the Dream Realm Extreme Domain shattered.

After the Dream Realm Extreme Domain shattered, Lin Tian awoke alone in a gray space while the other prodigies returned unconscious. Exploring fragments that showed a powerful expert fleeing across the Sea of Universes and dying, Lin Tian reached a gathering of fragments and found an image of boundless terror in the chaos.

• The Dream Realm Extreme Domain shattered, sending its prodigies back to the Cosmic Prodigy Battle venue unconscious while Lin Tian, Star Wish, and the Eternal Immortal Venerable of Guimeng Holy Land were missing.
• Ancestor Qiong Lan explained that the dream mist had left the prodigies unconscious and warned the experts that they would die if Lin Tian could not return.
• Lin Tian awoke in a gray space, confirmed that Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint and Qian Mengling were unconscious, and began exploring.
• Lin Tian discovered fragments showing a terrifying expert fleeing across the Sea of Universes before becoming a corpse.
• Lin Tian followed the fragments to a larger gathering and was shocked by what he saw in the chaos.

Lin Tian viewed fragments revealing the world beyond chaos, the fate of Blue Star’s prodigy Hongzun, and the destruction of the Crimson Demon Clan. The last fragment showed the clan’s progenitor sacrificing himself to send the infant Crimson Demon out of that world.

• Lin Tian learned that beings far stronger than those in the Sea of Universes struggled to enter a world beyond chaos, and he suspected Crimson Demon Star God and True God Cangmang came from there.
• Lin Tian watched a battle in that world in which a lone expert fought an entire sect, then vanished after throwing his followers to safety; he recognized the expert as Blue Star’s prodigy Hongzun.
• Lin Tian concluded that Hongzun’s followers were later hunted down and that powerful factions continued to control Blue Star.
• Lin Tian saw the Crimson Demon Clan’s progenitor fight many enemies before being bound and overwhelmed.
• The progenitor released his power to send the clan’s only surviving member, the infant Crimson Demon, out of the world.

Lin Tian examined fragments revealing the origins and histories of the Xuan Yue Clan, Qian Mengling, and the Star Clan, but the visions abruptly turned to disasters across the worlds connected to him. He watched his friends and the Heavenly Palace face destruction, leaving him overwhelmed by despair.

• Lin Tian saw a forest connected to Qian Mengling and two powerful beings conducting a transaction before he reached the fragment of the Xuan Yue Clan.
• Lin Tian saw the Xuan Yue Clan beneath a vast bright moon, caught in internal strife that appeared to lead to the founding of the Xuan Yue Dynasty.
• Lin Tian first saw a peaceful Star Clan, then turned back as flames, lightning, and destruction engulfed it; the fragment shattered, followed by the fragments he had already viewed.
• Lin Tian hurried toward the densest cluster of fragments and saw Blue Star's old friends meet the end of reincarnation as Ancestor Qiong Lan and Mu Ge died and Qian Mengling escaped.
• Lin Tian watched Xuan Yue Star be destroyed, the Red Demon be captured and killed, and Yueling be imprisoned and made into a puppet.
• Lin Tian saw Heart Source Immortal Saint and the Heavenly Palace members die, Myriad Spirits Hall become their graveyard, and a world like the Heavenly Palace Small World shatter.

Lin Tian escaped a Gray Space after seeing fragments of the past and a despairing possible future, then told Star Wish what he had witnessed. Star Wish confirmed that the Xuan Yue Clan and Star Clan territories were real, leaving Lin Tian convinced that the past fragments were authentic while the future scenes were false.

• Lin Tian rejected the despairing future shown in the fragments, noting that it contradicted Heavenly Palace’s actual strength and members.
• A Space Tunnel appeared, and Lin Tian returned to the Cosmic Prodigy Battle venue after leaving a Heaven's Gate Token in the Gray Space.

• Star Wish returned and warned Lin Tian that another power might exist within him, but he said he could handle it and described his dream to her.
• Lin Tian recounted fragments showing the Xuan Yue Clan and Star Clan territories, and Star Wish confirmed that both places were real.
• Lin Tian concluded that the past fragments were authentic and the future scenes were unreliable, then told Star Wish he had shared everything he dreamed.

Lin Tian discussed the danger surrounding the Xuan Yue Dynasty with Star Wish and agreed to protect its members while keeping Yueling hidden. After True God Cangmang returned and broke through, the Prodigy Battle schedule changed, and Lin Tian prepared to use the upcoming one-on-one rounds to reach the Cosmic Realm.

• Star Wish withdrew the barrier after Lin Tian declined to pursue the matter further, and Lin Tian resolved to conceal some of the Heavenly Palace's strength.
• Lin Tian and Star Wish agreed not to notify the Xuan Yue Clan, to have the Star Clan check on the Xuan Yue Dynasty, and to protect Yueling until Lin Tian was strong enough.
• True God Cangmang returned from the Sea of Universes and broke through within the Time Tower.
• Ancestor Qiong Lan announced that the third stage of the Prodigy Battle had been canceled and one-on-one battles would begin, with fewer than two thousand participants remaining.
• Lin Tian checked his information panel and saw that his Star Realm cultivation had reached 95 percent and that he had comprehended one-tenth of all rules.
• Lin Tian learned the battles would start in three days and entered the Time Tower to cultivate toward the Cosmic Realm.

Star Wish confirmed that the Xuan Yue Dynasty members were descendants of the Xuan Yue Clan and ordered the Star Clan to investigate the Ten Great Universes. Lin Tian learned the matter was tied to time, competed in the Prodigy Battle, and used its fifteen-day break to reach the Cosmic Realm.

• Star Wish received the investigation results, confirmed the Xuan Yue Dynasty members' ancestry, and ordered an inquiry into the Ten Great Universes, authorizing the Star Clan to kill them if it found anything suspicious.
• Three days later, Lin Tian arrived at the Prodigy Battle and, like Qian Mengling and Qiongying, easily defeated his assigned opponent.
• Star Wish told Lin Tian that the Xuan Yue Dynasty matter involved time and warned him not to investigate further until he had greater strength and backing.
• Lin Tian fought several more matches before the Prodigy Battle entered its fifteen-day rest period.
• Lin Tian cultivated in the second floor of the Time Tower and broke through to the Cosmic Realm before the rest period ended.

After breaking through to the Cosmic Realm, Lin Tian returned to the Cosmic Prodigy Battle and discovered that the God Devouring Hall had arranged for a Ghost Soul Sect member to attack him behind a powerful barrier. He left Miao Lu defeated and dismembered, while the confrontation outside the barrier remained unresolved.

• Lin Tian reflected on his Cosmic Realm breakthrough and returned to find the final hundred contestants already competing.
• Star Wish told Lin Tian that the God Devouring Hall was hated for conducting sacrifices, and Lin Tian linked it to the Ghost Soul Sect's destruction of the Hong Zun Universe's borderlands.
• Lin Tian advanced through two matches before being paired with Miao Lu, a Cosmic Realm prodigy.
• Lin Tian noticed the unusually powerful barrier and realized the God Devouring Hall's Eternal Immortal Venerable had helped arrange a trap against him.
• Miao Lu attacked with the Ghost Soul Sect's deathly still aura, while the God Devouring Hall's Eternal Immortal Venerable prevented others from intervening.
• Lin Tian dissipated the aura and held Miao Lu aloft, revealing that his limbs were already gone.

Lin Tian killed Miao Lu and revealed that he had mastered the Space Rule after a recent breakthrough. When the God Devouring Hall's Eternal Immortal Venerable attacked him, the Heart Source Immortal Saint intervened, and Lin Tian ordered him to kill the attacker and the Ghost Soul Sect members in the venue.

• Lin Tian instantly killed Miao Lu, whose Dark Rule had reached forty percent comprehension.
• The God Devouring Hall's Eternal Immortal Venerable discovered that Lin Tian had mastered the Space Rule and attacked him in disbelief.
• The Heart Source Immortal Saint appeared and erased more than half of the Eternal Immortal Venerable's body with a single finger.
• Star Wish explained that the Star Clan's rules permitted the Heavenly Palace's Eternal Immortal Saint to descend because the Heavenly Palace had received its recognition.
• Lin Tian ordered the Heart Source Immortal Saint to kill the God Devouring Hall's Eternal Immortal Venerable and erase everyone from the Ghost Soul Sect in the venue.
• The Heart Source Immortal Saint released his aura, and dozens of figures in the venue exploded and died.

Lin Tian won the Cosmic Prodigy Battle after the remaining contestants withdrew, then revealed that he had reached the Cosmic Realm. He left with Star Wish and the others to resolve the final problem and secure a way out.

• Lin Tian resumed the battle after the Ghost Soul Sect members in the arena were dealt with, and Ancestor Qiong Lan called for the remaining prodigies to be reranked.

• Star Wish and Lin Tian left with Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint and Qian Mengling to resolve the final problem, while Lin Tian said he needed to secure a way out.

After Lin Tian won the Cosmic Prodigy Battle, Star Wish agreed to free Blue Star’s inhabitants from outside control, and Lin Tian used his Legion Summoning Card. The system revealed the Radiant Legion’s ranks and strength, leaving Lin Tian with a powerful new force as conflicts among the Hong Zun Universe’s factions loomed.

• Mu Ge joined Lin Tian, Star Wish, and the others as Star Wish warned that the fallen Heart Source Immortal Saint’s phantom could attack only twice more and questioned whether the Heavenly Palace could withstand the factions.
• Lin Tian rejected Star Wish’s advice to delay and asked her to have the Star Clan resolve Blue Star’s problems, saying the Heavenly Palace would soon gain enough strength.
• Star Wish promised that Blue Star’s inhabitants would no longer be controlled by factions such as the Ni Sheng Sect, and Mu Ge wept with relief while Lin Tian and the others left him alone.
• Lin Tian anticipated the coming conflict among the Hong Zun Universe’s factions and wondered how True God Cangmang’s breakthrough would differ.
• Lin Tian used his Legion Summoning Card, and the system summoned the Radiant Legion, a force of 3,333 members led by three Eternal Immortal Venerable Legion Commanders.

Lin Tian learned that his Radiant Legion could help defend the Heavenly Palace, but he still relied on Heart Source Immortal Saint and his upcoming sixth-year sign-in to face the coming attacks. After the Cosmic Prodigy Battle ended with Lin Tian as champion, he told the Blue Star group they could return home because he could now protect it.

• Lin Tian learned that his Radiant Legion had 3,333 members and that its commanders could grow stronger with stellar, lunar, and solar power.
• Lin Tian considered the threat from the Ni Sheng Sect and other forces, relying on Heart Source Immortal Saint to buy time while he awaited his sixth-year sign-in.

• Jiang Mingyue asked whether the Dream Realm Extreme Domain trial had ended, and Lin Tian revealed that the Prodigy Battle was over and he had won.
• Lin Tian reassured the Blue Star group that he could handle Blue Star's danger, opened a Space Tunnel, and invited them to return home.

Lin Tian and the others returned to Blue Star after more than three years away, reassuring its defenders that the planet would soon be safe. He then went into the surrounding starry sky to eliminate those monitoring Blue Star.

• Nangong Ya emerged from the Space Tunnel at Magic City University and told the principal that Blue Star’s problems would soon be resolved.
• Jiang Mingyue and the others returned, reuniting with the Magic City University principal and the Imperial Court Tenth Elder.
• Lin Tian returned with Qian Mengling and Qiong Ying the Supreme Saint, then sent the others home while he went to deal with Blue Star’s watchers.
