Elder Pei assembled thirty disciples for an exploration of the Secret Realm and divided them into three groups. Jiang Fan noticed that prominent inner sect disciples such as Qi Hao were missing from the roster, but focused on returning to the Gate of Sighs to investigate its connection to the Galaxy System and check whether Chen Qingshan and the Abyss Master had survived the Time Torrent upheaval.

• Elder Pei promised the disciples generous rewards and assigned the thirty-person exploration team to three groups.

• At dawn, the thirty disciples gathered at a formation-covered valley at the edge of the Sky Dome Mountain Range.
• Jiang Fan examined the teleportation formation and wondered how the Secret Realm connected the Mystic Heaven Realm to the Galaxy System.

The Heaven Sect disciples entered the sealed zone to investigate an abnormal disturbance and found a strange realm filled with motionless, impossible scenery. After several disciples touched its objects and rapidly turned to ash, the survivors realized the place was governed by chaotic time rules.

• The elder used an ancient jade token to prove the sect's authority, and the Garrison Commander opened a temporary passage through the Sealed Giant Gate.

• A disciple recognized the danger as fluctuations in lifespan and time, and another concluded that the realm was ruled by chaotic time rules.

Disciples trapped in the Time Scorch zone encountered deadly jellyfish made of flowing time rules and suspected the Heaven Sect had sent them in as cannon fodder. They organized to survive for three days, while Jiang Fan doubted the Heaven Sect would honor its promised reward.

• A female disciple touched a pale-blue jellyfish and rapidly aged to death, revealing it as a manifestation of flowing time rules.
• Jellyfish appeared throughout the space, killing several more disciples as they tried to dodge.
• A disciple accused the Heaven Sect of using them as cannon fodder, and the group realized most entrants were recruits from other sects or unremarkable Heaven Sect disciples.

• Jiang Fan silently concluded that the Heaven Sect had ulterior motives and questioned whether it would give them the promised reward.

Jiang Fan escaped the Time Scorch as its temporal fragments devastated the Heaven Sect disciples, then entered the Galaxy System to find Chen Qingshan and the Abyss Master. He could not detect their auras, so he headed for the Void Echoer's Void Corridor to investigate.

• Jiang Fan suspected Heaven Sect had sent its outside disciples into the seal as expendable test subjects, while the surviving disciples formed a defensive formation.
• Jiang Fan sensed a disturbance beneath the Time Scorch, and the zone shook as fragments of time rules swept through the disciples and broke their formation.

• One day later, Jiang Fan reached the Galaxy System and realized he had only one day before he needed to return through the Gate of Sighs.
• Jiang Fan searched for Chen Qingshan, the Abyss Master, and other Void Echoer members but detected none of their auras, so he set an anchor for the Void Echoer's Void Corridor and stepped out.

Huai Zhen explained how Fu Wuhen took control of the Void Echoers and began subjugating civilizations across the Galaxy System, leaving Jiang Fan questioning why no one resisted.

• Huai Zhen told Jiang Fan that the Abyss Master and the Grand Elder returned from the Milky Way gravely injured and entered seclusion.

• Chen Yang said Morisi’s plans were likely worse than the rulers imagined and urged them to prepare.

• Chen Yang warned the rulers that they needed to stand together, then watched Morisi enter the council hall with Jin Ming, the Void Organization’s agent.
• Morisi announced that the Greck Group would protect Suolun Kingdom, Ta’er Kingdom, Kamila Duchy, Lüsen Kingdom, and Chen Kingdom in exchange for thirty percent of their revenue and control over military, diplomatic, and trade affairs.

• Jiang Fan explored the transformed Kyoto City and entered the modern Ninth Martial Arts University, where a bronze statue in the plaza caught his attention.

• Jiang Fan saw his statue at Huaxia Ninth Martial Arts University and felt sorrow that his loved ones had waited for him without knowing what happened.

Jiang Fan searched Blue Star for his long-lost family and acquaintances, found no familiar traces, and prepared to return to the Mystic Heaven Realm. Before he could leave, he saw Jiang Ruilei being bullied over a debt and intervened just as she was kicked toward a wall.

• Jiang Fan visited places from his past and used his spiritual perception across Blue Star, but found none of his old acquaintances.
• Jiang Fan decided to let go of his hopes and leave Blue Star for the Mystic Heaven Realm.
• Jiang Ruilei was cornered by Dongzi and his companions, who demanded repayment of her 200,000 Blue Star Coin debt.

• Jiang Ruilei grabbed Dongzi's leg, and he kicked her toward a wall, but a ripple of energy kept her from crashing into it.

Jiang Fan found Jiang Ruilei, a distant Jiang family descendant, being harassed by loan sharks from the Azure Dragon Society over an inflated debt. He agreed to pay the original 50,000 Blue Star Coins, but the blond collector tried to lure him to the society after claiming he had neither enough change nor the IOU.

• Jiang Fan produced a 100,000 Blue Star Coin note and asked for 50,000 in change, but the collector claimed he lacked change and the IOU, then invited Jiang Fan to the society.

Jiang Fan followed Yellow Hair to the Azure Dragon Society’s courtyard, where the gang tried to seize his money. He annihilated the society’s fighters and Zheng Gan, leaving Yellow Hair terrified.

• Jiang Fan turned the martial artists and Zheng Gan to ash, while Yellow Hair collapsed in fear.
