After ten thousand years of cultivation in the Golden Mist Treasure Land, Lin Yuan greatly strengthened his mastery of time-space, the Chaos Taiji Path, and the Infinite Void. He prepared thirty-three hidden Acquired Universes as a refuge for Human Civilization before his planned attempt to reach the Thirteenth Order, leaving the Supreme Experts concerned but reassured that the preparations were only for the worst case.

Lin Yuan hunted Source Demons for ten thousand years, opening ninety-nine percent of the particle worlds in his Second Source World body and mastering the Fifth Layer of the Lord of Heavenly Light's rune inheritance. After the Eternal Immeasurable Sect warned that the Demon God had begun gathering all the Demonic Qi, Lin Yuan prepared to test his strength against it.

• Lin Yuan recalled that he had exterminated the Source Demons in heaven and earth's four directions and driven those at the center into hiding.

• Lin Yuan reflected on reaching the Fifth Layer of the Lord of Heavenly Light's rune inheritance, though he had not fully comprehended it.
• At the Hidden World, the Eternal Immeasurable Sect's sect master told Lin Yuan that all the Demonic Qi was gathering, possibly because the Demon God had awakened.
• Lin Yuan accepted that the Demon God had been alerted and looked toward the Demonic Qi, anticipating a test of his particle worlds against its power.

Lin Yuan continued preparing to face the Demon God by completing his Infinite Ganges Sand Particle World, while the Eternal Sects recalled their disciples as signs of the Demon God’s return grew. The Demon God emerged above the Hidden World and discovered that most of its demons had been destroyed or driven into hiding.

• Lin Yuan decided to rely on recovering Source Demons to gather the resources needed to finish opening his particle world, while avoiding a direct clash with the Demon God until he was stronger.
• The Eternal Immeasurable Sect’s sect master told Lin Yuan that the Eternal Sects planned to recall their exploring disciples, and Lin Yuan agreed.

• The Demon God emerged above the Hidden World and saw that nearly all the demons it had nurtured were gone, while the surviving Source Demons hid in fear.

The Demon God relentlessly attacked the Hidden World, draining the resources powering the Lords of Eternity’s defenses. As the sect masters prepared to evacuate Lin Yuan, he suggested there was another way to deal with the Demon God.

• The Demon God unleashed black currents, a black beam, and repeated tail strikes, but the Hidden World’s defensive Eternal Treasures blocked them.
• Distant Holy Sect and Supreme Holy Sect leaders sensed the attacks and worried about Lin Yuan and whether the Eternal Sects could hold out.
• The sect masters realized the Demon God had attacked for months, far longer than the timelines the Lords of Eternity had predicted, and that sustaining the defenses could eventually exhaust their resources.
• The Eternal Immeasurable Sect’s sect master urged Lin Yuan to escape through a teleportation array, but Lin Yuan said there might be a way to deal with the Demon God.

Lin Yuan took five Eternal Sources from the sects to finish opening his Infinite Ganges Sand Particle World while holding off the Demon God. After enduring its attacks, he completed his transformation and seized its tail, ready to retaliate.

• Lin Yuan asked the sect masters for the Eternal Sources sustaining the Hidden World's defenses so he could complete the final one percent of his Particle World.

• Lin Yuan left the Hidden World and used his own power to block the Demon God's attacks while his Particle Worlds continued opening.
• The Demon God struck Lin Yuan with black currents, a black projectile, and its giant tail, but Lin Yuan survived by defending himself and using Blood Rebirth.
• After the Particle Worlds finished opening, Lin Yuan grabbed the Demon God's tail and announced that it was his turn to attack.

Lin Yuan used the power of his fully opened Infinite Ganges Sand Particle World to fight the demon god and force it to retreat. As the people in the Hidden World celebrated, a towering figure outside the Source World noticed something unexpected.

• The Hidden World's inhabitants looked up at Lin Yuan and celebrated the demon god's disappearance.
• Outside the Source World, one of the towering figures noticed something and reacted with disbelief.

The thirteen Eternal Lords discovered that the Demonic Qi had thinned and saw countless new timelines in which a new Eternal Lord saved the Source World. In the Hidden World, Lin Yuan drove back the Demon God, denied that he was an Eternal Lord, and questioned the sect masters about the Demon God’s origins.

• The Lord of Immeasurable sensed that the Demonic Qi had thinned and observed a future where a black-and-white Taiji Diagram swept it away.
• The thirteen Eternal Lords each observed new timelines and found that every one showed a new Eternal Lord being born to save the Source World.

• The sect masters said they did not know the Demon God’s origins, and Lin Yuan suspected the Eternal Lords had withheld the truth.

As he neared the end of the Lord of Heavenly Light’s inheritance, its gentle teacher transformed into a demonic figure, leaving Lin Yuan facing a startling revelation.

• Lin Yuan asked the sect masters what the fourteen Lords of Eternity had said before disappearing, then promised to leave an avatar in the Hidden World to stop the Demon God if he returned.

• Lin Yuan realized that the demon god was the Lord of Heavenly Light, who had created separate Light and Black Demon true bodies while pursuing omnipotence through runes.
• The Lord of Heavenly Light explained that a Time Lifeform’s chance of becoming a Perfect Time Lifeform was determined from the beginning of its cultivation path.
• Lin Yuan completed the inheritance, gained a deeper ability to observe future timelines, and watched the Lord of Heavenly Light’s figure disappear.

With the Lord of Heavenly Light’s bodies out of control and the Demon Calamity looming, the Lords of Eternity put Lin Yuan in charge before departing, and he returned to cultivation.

• The Lords of Eternity departed, and Lin Yuan returned to cultivation.

Lin Yuan used his limited ability to observe future timelines to discover the Yin-Yang Two Lives Flower and sent his Taiji Primordial Spirit into the Dimensional Gap to claim it. As he traveled far from the Chaos Void, he studied the harsh region and its native lifeforms, then noticed something unexpected.

• Lin Yuan observed a future timeline in which the Yin-Yang Two Lives Flower helped him advance his Chaos Taiji Path to the third level before reaching the Thirteenth Order.
• Lin Yuan checked other timelines, found that he could likely obtain the flower without interference, and dispatched his Taiji Primordial Spirit to retrieve it.
• Lin Yuan traveled through the Dimensional Gap and sensed how its emptiness and lack of Great Dao Rule fluctuations made cultivation difficult.
• Lin Yuan encountered native Dimensional Gap lifeforms, copied their memories, and learned that several regions were forbidden because they were tied to Time Lifeforms.
• After decades of travel, Lin Yuan still could not sense the First Source World or Second Source World directly, and he suddenly spotted something in another direction.

Lin Yuan discovered a new Dimensional Space that the Door of Myriad Worlds could let him explore safely, then focused on cultivating toward his planned breakthrough to the Thirteenth Order. Elsewhere, a powerful Time Lifeform reviewed the inheritors of his six Thirteenth Order inheritances and realized his seventh inheritance carrier was missing.

• Lin Yuan's Taiji Primordial Spirit found a new Dimensional Space, and Lin Yuan decided he could descend into it later through the Door of Myriad Worlds.
• Lin Yuan estimated that the Yin-Yang Two Lives Flower could help him advance the Chaos Taiji Path much sooner and continued cultivating his path and the Sixth Layer of "Infinite Void."
• Lin Yuan set his breakthrough goal: finish opening the Infinite Ganges Sand Particle World, cultivate "Infinite Void" to the Sixth Layer, and raise the Chaos Taiji Path to the third level.
• A towering Time Lifeform awoke from cultivation and summoned the carriers of his Thirteenth Order inheritances to review their inheritors.
• The Time Lifeform found that only six of his seven inheritance carriers had appeared and wondered where his gourd had gone.

Mo Xu Jun discovered that he could no longer sense the Jade Gourd and traced its disappearance to Lin Yuan, whose Inner Universe had severed the connection. After seeing that Lin Yuan became a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform and then a Time Lord across countless timelines—and that the seven Time Lifeforms could not stop him—the others took notice of him, while Lin Yuan learned the Jade Gourd’s old master had tried to summon its spirit.

• Mo Xu Jun searched the past timeline and found that Lin Yuan’s Inner Universe had cut off his perception of the Jade Gourd over ten thousand years earlier.
• Mo Xu Jun observed many futures in which Lin Yuan became a Thirteenth Order Time Lifeform and then a Time Lord, and the six other Time Lifeforms confirmed the same outcome.
• The seven Time Lifeforms tested futures where they tried to kill Lin Yuan, but they could not defeat him and faced brutal consequences when they opposed him.
• Lin Yuan noticed that most of his future timelines had become blurred, suggesting that Thirteenth Order Time Lifeforms would soon contact him.
• Lin Yuan asked the Red-Clothed Girl what had happened, and she explained that her old master had awakened and tried to summon her, but she could not leave his Inner Universe.

Lin Yuan welcomed seven Chaos Void Time Lifeforms, who befriended him and offered inheritances and treasures. After they left, he examined the Second Source World’s Demonic Qi and awakened his eighth physical body divine power.

• Lin Yuan chose to meet the seven Chaos Void Time Lifeforms, led by Mo Xu Jun, who greeted him warmly and praised his future potential.
• Mo Xu Jun gave Lin Yuan six ultimate inheritances, and the other Time Lifeforms offered treasures; Lin Yuan returned the Heaven Void Cauldron to its master.
• The Time Lifeforms invited Lin Yuan to explore a chaotic Dimensional Space with them after he reached the Thirteenth Order, and Lin Yuan said he would decide then.
• After the Time Lifeforms departed, Lin Yuan focused on obtaining the Yin-Yang Two Lives Flower and observed the Demonic Qi and Demon God in the Second Source World.
• Lin Yuan’s eighth physical body divine power finished gestating, and he merged his mind with the newly formed Divine Power Imprint.

Lin Yuan awakened Lord's Authority, which sealed his timelines from observation and supported all three of his true bodies. As he traveled through the Dimensional Gap collecting treasures, he sensed a fluctuation that might signal the greatest opportunity in the futures he had seen.

• Lin Yuan condensed Lord's Authority and realized it let him seal his timelines, observe future timelines more easily, and share its support among his three true bodies.
• The cultivators of the Source World lost the increased physical potential they had gained when Lord's Authority had entered their bloodlines.
• The thirteen Lords of Eternity, the six progenitors, and seven Chaos Void time lifeforms found they could no longer peer into Lin Yuan's future timelines.
• Lin Yuan's Taiji Primordial Spirit traveled toward the Yin Yang Twin Flowers and collected dimensional treasures, including a mountain of Eternal Refined Gold containing a golden worm.
• Lin Yuan sensed a fluctuation and wondered if it marked the greatest opportunity among the futures he had observed.

Lin Yuan used his sealed timeline to seize a rare Nightmare Fruit from two Thirteenth Order Time Lifeforms, Qian Mian Chuan and Ling Han Gui. After escaping their attacks, he left both Time Lifeforms wary of pursuing him because they could not see into his timeline.

• Lin Yuan observed timelines showing that he could fight Qian Mian Chuan and Ling Han Gui for the Nightmare Fruit without creating hidden dangers, then summoned his true body to the Nightmare Tree.
• When the enormous Nightmare Fruit matured, Qian Mian Chuan and Ling Han Gui began fighting over it while the Nightmare Clan watched in despair.
• Lin Yuan appeared atop the Nightmare Tree and collected the Nightmare Fruit into his Inner Universe, severing its karma.
• Qian Mian Chuan attacked Lin Yuan through karma, but Lin Yuan dispersed the strikes through his Ganges Sand Particle Worlds and fled.
• Qian Mian Chuan and Ling Han Gui examined Lin Yuan's timeline, found it sealed and indistinct, and abandoned their pursuit.

Lin Yuan took the Nightmare Fruit from the Dimensional Gap and refined it to strengthen his Heart and Will while preparing to reach the Thirteenth Order. After his Taiji Primordial Spirit reached the Yin Yang Twin Flowers, Lin Yuan seized the flower along with the Ice Mountain and Fire Mountain that nurtured it.

• Qian Mian Chuan and Ling Han Gui decided not to pursue Lin Yuan after he took the Nightmare Fruit, and the Nightmare Clan watched the Time Lifeforms depart.
• Lin Yuan returned to the Chaos Void with the Nightmare Fruit and dimensional rarities, then began refining the fruit and studying Mo Xu Jun's six other Thirteenth Order inheritances.
• Lin Yuan reviewed his preparations for advancing to the Thirteenth Order, including the Martial Path anchor spread across several worlds and his nearly complete mastery of the Chaos Taiji Path.
• After several hundred years, Lin Yuan's Taiji Primordial Spirit reached the Yin Yang Twin Flowers and found no sign that a Time Lifeform would interfere.
• Lin Yuan reached out and took the Ice Mountain and Fire Mountain, securing the Yin Yang Twin Flowers between them.
