• Xun Er and the others joined Xiao Yan, who explained that refining the Divine Bone might cause the Great Thousand World to reject him and keep him from summoning the Heavens List.

Xiao Yan concluded that he could only pursue the Heavens List to reach the Dominator Realm, so he chose to wait for the final Great Thousand Covenant while arranging to develop the Dragon Phoenix Realm with the Dragon Race and Phoenix Clan. After decades of preparation, his visions showed several possible outcomes of the coming war, and the Great Thousand World faced increasingly serious invasions from the Extraterritorial Evil Clan.

The Ancient Heavenly Palace reappeared as the final Great Thousand Covenant approached, drawing Xiao Yan’s attention to its inheritance and the fate of the Great Thousand World. He sent Xiao Xiao toward the palace, while warning Xun Er that whoever claimed One Qi Transforms into Three Purities might become the world’s savior.

• The Great Thousand Palace conscripted the Five Great God Clans for a massive outpost battle, where Lin Dong and Hun Tiandi drove back the Extraterritorial Evil Clan’s strongest forces.
• Qing Yanjing was ambushed during the battle, fled through a Teleportation Spirit Array to the Northern Azure Continent, and gave birth to Mu Chen.
• The Ancient Heavenly Palace broke free of its seal on the Tianluo Continent, prompting rival forces to compete through their subordinates for the Ancient Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance.

• Xiao Yan told Xun Er that Xiao Xiao had emerged from seclusion and should go to the Ancient Heavenly Palace, though he said she might not obtain the inheritance and that its eventual bearer could save the Great Thousand World.

Xiao Xiao and Xiao Lin arrived at the Ancient Heavenly Palace on the Tianluo Continent and learned about Mu Chen’s past feat at Dragon Phoenix Heaven. After reading the younger generation’s Strongest Expert List, they found Mu Chen ranked twentieth and reacted with surprise to the number-one entry.
