• Han Yi promised to establish the Great Wilderness Dao Palace throughout the Fuheng Dao Domain and the Chaos World, then summoned Sui Zhu, Qin Yi, and Donghuang Bu’er.

After refining the Source Wisdom Corpse to protect the Dao Palace, he entered Primordial Antiquity to investigate its sealed Origin Land.

• Han Yi sat in the chaos between the Source Wisdom Great World and the Primordial Grand World and began the five steps toward Half-Step Transcendence.
• Han Yi sensed the Eternal Pillar, formed a divine-sense incarnation, and shattered it when he tried to reach the pillar, causing the Eternal Pillar to tremble.
• The Dao God and numerous Half-Step Transcendents observed Han Yi, including the wary Lord of Ancient Profundity, while Han Yi re-formed his incarnation and then stopped.

Han Yi failed to advance by using Chaos Life Seeds to push his Divine Canon beyond the world-force barrier, then sent his Cangyun Divine Embryo incarnation to the Cangyun Divine Sea to seek answers and aid the Primordial Lord. The incarnation entered the divine light and found a cluster of palaces floating within it.

• Han Yi stopped trying to leave an imprint on the Eternal Pillar, met the Dao God, and learned that opening a world in Source-less Space required an entirely new path.

• Han Yi's incarnation entered the divine light at the heart of the Cangyun Divine Sea and, a month later, reached a cluster of palaces within it.

Han Yi’s true body witnessed Calamity Burial’s forces encircle the Dao Spirit Chaos World while his Divine Embryo avatar prepared for the Cangyun divine emissary assessment.

• Han Yi met Kuiluo’s demonic spear with the Soul-Slaying Divine Saber and sent his sword domain against the other demon lord.

Han Yi drove off Demon Lord Kuiluo and reached the besieged Dao Spirit Chaos World, but could not get through its defenses. While stranded in Source-less Space, he traced his proficiency panel to the center of his brow, revealed a mysterious phantom resembling himself, and learned that it called itself Source.

• Han Yi fought Demon Lord Kuiluo to a draw while his Chaos Sword Domain trapped the other Demon Lord, forcing Kuiluo to rescue his ally and retreat toward Dao Spirit.

• Han Yi detonated sword qi at his brow, revealing a point of spiritual light that transported him into a boundless white space before an immense pillar and a phantom resembling himself.
• The phantom showed Han Yi visions of lives sharing his face, including his previous life, then identified itself as Source.

• Yuan’s phantom revealed his origins, his failed attempt to cross the Source Wall, and his plan to send soul fragments beyond it; Han Yi realized he was a distinct person born from one such fragment.

• Han Yi merged the Celestial Venerable World and his Divine Aperture Worlds into the pillar, then entered it himself to complete the transformation.
• After ten years, the pillar produced a vast Chaos World containing Han Yi’s former Divine Aperture Worlds, and Han Yi reappeared holding the refined Heavenly River Profound Pillar.
• Han Yi recognized that his dual cultivation had allowed him to refine the pillar completely, surveyed the expanding Chaos World, and stepped outside it.

Han Yi returned to Dao Spirit after creating the Heavenly River Profound Method and gained the power to wield realm power. He rescued Xuan Likong from a Yin Demon Lord and learned that Calamity Burial Realm Venerable and his allies had besieged Dao Spirit for over three thousand years, though the fighting remained outside the world.

• Han Yi spent three thousand years merging his cultivation arts into the Heavenly River Profound Method, then left his Chaos Realm and headed back toward Dao Spirit.
• Han Yi crossed the light curtain surrounding Dao Spirit using realm power and found a ruined battlefield where a Yin Demon Lord was pursuing the wounded Xuan Likong.
• Han Yi killed the Yin Demon Lord with one strike and identified himself to Xuan Likong, who revealed that he was the Master of Void-Separation Hall.
• Xuan Likong told Han Yi that Calamity Burial Realm Venerable had joined forces with the Yin Demon Chaos World and the Insect Demon Chaos World to blockade Dao Spirit with six small Chaos Realms.
• Han Yi learned that Dao Spirit had held the attackers outside its borders for more than three thousand years and concluded that the crisis had not yet reached the Fuheng Dao Domain.

Han Yi learned that Dao Spirit Chaos World had suffered heavy losses during the past three thousand years and set out with Likong Hall Master to return. When Demon Lord Kuiluo and Shattered Soul Demon Lord attacked, Han Yi killed them both, but the strain chipped his Soul-Slaying Divine Saber.

• Likong Hall Master told Han Yi that three of Dao Spirit Chaos World's thirty-five half-step Transcendents had fallen, World Venerable Fusheng was gravely wounded, and Sword Venerable Guhong was defending the sole entrance through the light curtain.
• Han Yi asked Likong Hall Master to lead him back to Dao Spirit, and they encountered Demon Lord Kuiluo and Shattered Soul Demon Lord on the way.

• Demon Lord Kuiluo fled, but Han Yi caught and killed him with another strike.
• Han Yi noticed a chip in his Soul-Slaying Divine Saber and resolved to seek a stronger ancient artifact at Ancestor God Star before asking Likong Hall Master to lead him onward.

The Lord of Supreme Beginning secretly brought him to Ancestor God Star to meet World Venerable Fusheng, whose condition was revealed to be extremely poor.

• Han Yi rescued Dao Spirit Heavenly Venerables from Yin Demons and insect demons, then reached the outer node with the Likong Hall Master.
• The Lord of Supreme Beginning welcomed Han Yi and realized that he had become a half-step World Venerable.
• After crossing into Dao Spirit, Han Yi absorbed news of the past twenty thousand years, including the Great Wilderness Dao Palace’s expansion and its forces fighting beyond the world.
• Han Yi told the Lord of Supreme Beginning that he had opened a Chaos World and gained world power and Eternal characteristics, and the Lord urged him to conceal his uniqueness.
• The Lord of Supreme Beginning explained that World Venerable Fusheng had warned him not to trust Sword Venerable Guhong too much, then led Han Yi to the Origin God Clan.
• Han Yi and the Lord of Supreme Beginning met World Venerable Fusheng and found him in extremely poor condition.

World Venerable Fusheng revealed that Han Yi’s Eternal characteristics could help break the Dao Spirit’s deadlock by carrying Ancestor God’s contingency plan to the highest point of the Eternal Pillar. He led Han Yi and Supreme Beginning to Ancestor God’s hidden Eternal divine weapon and began to uncover it.

• Han Yi and Supreme Beginning met the gravely injured World Venerable Fusheng, who was astonished by Han Yi’s Chaos World and Eternal characteristics.

• Fusheng revealed that Ancestor God’s contingency plan was an Eternal divine weapon and told Han Yi to suppress and carry it to the Eternal Pillar.
• Fusheng used his world power to uncover the weapon, revealing an enormous pitch-black heavy halberd.

Han Yi carried the Eternal heavy halberd to the top of the Eternal Pillar while Fusheng held Lord Guanghan back, and Ancestor God's spirit body used the weapon to split the radiance surrounding the pillar. The deadlock was broken, Calamity Burial and another figure fled Dao Spirit, and the Eternal Pillar returned to normal.

• Fusheng suppressed the Eternal heavy halberd long enough for Han Yi to lift it and pierce through Ancestor God Star toward the Eternal Pillar.
• Han Yi touched the pillar, climbed it with the halberd, and left Fusheng to fight Lord Guanghan's spirit body.
• Han Yi passed Sword Venerable Gu Hong, who watched without stopping him, then entered the radiance above the pillar.
• Ancestor God's spirit body emerged from the halberd, seized it, and split the radiance to reveal three figures confronting one another.
• Ancestor God sent Han Yi back to chaos, and the halberd returned to Ancestor God Star as Calamity Burial and another figure fled Dao Spirit.
• Han Yi saw the Eternal Pillar return to normal and realized that Dao Spirit had broken the deadlock.

Han Yi carried the Eternal halberd to the Eternal Pillar while World Venerable Fusheng held Lord Guanghan back. Ancestor God intervened at the pillar’s summit, broke the deadlock, and sent Han Yi away as Calamity Burial World Venerable and another figure fled Dao Spirit.

• World Venerable Fusheng suppressed the halberd, and Han Yi lifted it and blasted through Ancestor God Star toward the Eternal Pillar.

• Lan Shuang told Han Yi about a Celestial Venerable who had seen Eternal Transcendents hunting Eternal Behemoths and gave him approximate coordinates.
• Han Yi left the Cangyun Divine Sea for the Source-less Space, where three masked three-ring Divine Emissaries surrounded and attacked him.
