After three thousand years studying the Yin Yang Twin Flowers, Lin Yuan raised the Chaos Taiji Path to its third level.

• The seven Chaos Void Time Lifeforms sensed a new Time Lifeform emerging and learned that it was Luo Hou, narrowing their disadvantage against the nine Time Lifeforms of the Taixu Dimension.
• Luo Hou emerged from the collapsing Time Loop, transformed into a Thirteenth Order lifeform, and absorbed a vast infusion of Chaos Void source energy.

After Luo Hou learned that the ancient Time Lifeforms believed Lin Yuan would become a Time Lord, Lin Yuan slept for two thousand years to prepare for his Thirteenth Order breakthrough.

• Lin Yuan gathered the Heart and Will of his scattered selves, left Milky Way Chaos Continent, released his suppression of his Life Essence, and triggered his Time Loop.

Lin Yuan entered a vast Time Loop and awoke as the young master of the Red Lotus Sect in a world ruled by the Great Feng Dynasty. His test was to kill the emperor, while the emperor himself faced a final tribulation that appeared to require only living to the age of 150.

• Lin Yuan's attempt to break through to the Thirteenth Order created a Time Loop region so vast that it astonished Mo Xu Jun, Luo Hou, and the other Time Lifeforms.
• Lin Yuan awoke with memories of being the Red Lotus Sect's young master, whose father had recently died resisting the Great Feng Dynasty.
• Lin Yuan assessed the world's limited power and learned that Path Entrants used Mind Power, while even the strongest were vulnerable to the imperial army.
• Lin Yuan learned that his Time Loop test was to kill the Great Feng Emperor and suspected the seemingly straightforward task concealed a greater difficulty.
• The seventh Great Feng Emperor realized his final tribulation seemed to require only surviving until age 150, but doubted that it could truly be so easy.

Lin Yuan learned that the Yong Province Branch Master would betray him, then used his suppressed rune inheritance to find a favorable future and began entering the Path. He left the chapter drawing the power of heaven and earth into himself as his third uncle realized he had become a Path Entrant.

• Lin Yuan woke and spoke with his third uncle, who told him the Red Lotus Sect Master was dead and planned to take him to the Yong Province Branch.
• Lin Yuan confirmed that he remained in the Time Loop and could still access the Door of Myriad Worlds, but chose not to spend his World Breaking Source Power to kill the Great Feng Dynasty emperor.

• Lin Yuan's third uncle sensed the gathering power and realized that Lin Yuan had entered the Path.

Lin Yuan became a Path Entrant and used his knowledge of future timelines to avoid the Great Feng Dynasty’s traps by hiding in Black Mountain. He took over Black Wind Stronghold and began a quiet period of development.

• Lin Yuan and the hunchbacked old man reached Black Wind Stronghold, where Lin Yuan took control of the bandit group.
• Twenty years passed as Lin Yuan continued his plans in the mountains.

Over twenty years, Lin Yuan cultivated his strength and built a force to prepare for killing the Great Feng Emperor. When Golden Dragon Sect threatened third uncle in Man Province, Lin Yuan intervened, and the sect’s leader sensed something unusual about him.

• Lin Yuan trained more than a thousand Path Entrants and over twenty Path Entrant Dharma Masters, then learned through future timelines that Golden Dragon Sect would kill third uncle.
• Lin Yuan traced the conflict to Golden Dragon Sect’s fear that an outside force was moving into Man Province while its Celestial Master ancestor neared death, and decided to intervene personally.
• At Man Province’s border, four Golden Dragon Sect members cornered third uncle and refused his offer of one hundred thousand taels of gold.
• Lin Yuan appeared behind third uncle, assured him he knew the situation, and challenged the four Golden Dragon Sect members.
• A golden-robed man began to attack Lin Yuan but was stopped by the central man, who noticed the faint golden light in his eyes and regarded Lin Yuan solemnly.

• Lin Yuan prepared to use Jin Yi’s memories and assistance to take control of the Golden Dragon Sect while preserving its inheritance and forces.
• The young emperor reflected on his strength as a Path Entrant Celestial Master and the tribulation requiring him to live for another 130 years, then decided to leave the Imperial Palace.

Lin Yuan took control of the Golden Dragon Sect and began quietly expanding his influence while seeking a way to kill the Great Feng Emperor before his lifespan ran out. His timeline visions showed that attempts to infiltrate the capital or Imperial Palace ended in his death, leaving him to develop his forces cautiously.

• The young emperor decided that the Imperial Palace would eventually fall and planned to hide somewhere remote until he survived the tribulation for one hundred and fifty years.
• With Jin Yi’s cooperation, Lin Yuan took control of the Golden Dragon Sect and gained influence over Man Province.
• Lin Yuan calculated that he had at most one hundred and thirty years left to kill the Great Feng Emperor, while keeping World Breaking Source Power as a last resort.
• Lin Yuan’s timeline visions showed him dying after infiltrating the capital against twenty-eight Path Entrant Celestial Masters and fifty thousand Imperial Guards, and dying again inside the Imperial Palace besieged by thirty thousand Imperial Guards.
• Lin Yuan used the Golden Dragon Sect to quietly extend his influence into other provinces without exposing himself to the Great Feng Dynasty.
• Fifty years passed as Lin Yuan continued building his forces from the shadows.

The Great Feng Dynasty’s Chief of the Town Protectorate led twenty-three Celestial Masters into Black Mountain to destroy Black Wind Stronghold, believing it threatened the dynasty. Lin Yuan had deliberately drawn them there as part of a plan to weaken Great Feng before confronting the emperor.

• An older soldier told the troops that Martial Gate was linked to the Black Mountain operation, while the army gathered outside the mountain.
• The Chief of the Town Protectorate revealed to twenty-two Celestial Masters that Black Wind Stronghold controlled vast wealth, influence, and forces across Great Feng, and ordered them to capture its master alive if possible.
• The Chief and the twenty-two Celestial Masters entered Black Mountain and approached Black Wind Stronghold under cover of night.
• Lin Yuan watched the arriving force and reflected that he had planted clues to lure Great Feng’s strongest Celestial Masters away before his planned assault on the capital.
• A vision of Lin Yuan’s future showed him leading an army to besiege the Great Feng Capital, slipping into the Imperial Palace, and killing the Great Feng Emperor.

Lin Yuan killed the Great Feng Emperor in the future timelines he observed, but the Time Loop continued, so he turned to strengthening his forces and drawing out the Town Protectorate chief. After defeating the chief’s forces, Lin Yuan asked third uncle about the Red Lotus Sect and chose to honor his wish by ordering an uprising.

• Lin Yuan confirmed that breaking into the Imperial Palace with the strength he had built over seventy years let him kill the Great Feng Emperor, but it did not end the Time Loop.
• The Town Protectorate chief led twenty-two Path Entrant Celestial Masters to attack Black Wind Stronghold, where eight of Lin Yuan’s Celestial Masters resisted them.
• Lin Yuan appeared, broke the attackers’ array with his footsteps, and captured all twenty-three Celestial Masters with his Mind Power.
• Lin Yuan returned to third uncle and asked what the Red Lotus Sect had wanted to accomplish.
• After third uncle recalled that the Sect Leader had devoted his life to overthrowing Great Feng, Lin Yuan ordered his hidden subordinate to rise in revolt.

After secretly controlling most of the Ninety-Nine Provinces, Lin Yuan set a rebellion in motion to bring down the Great Feng Dynasty and entered the Imperial Palace amid the siege of the capital. He killed the Great Feng Emperor, leaving the dynasty’s final resistance outside the palace.

• Lin Yuan ordered an uprising after learning from future timelines how to kill the Great Feng Emperor.
• Ruan Qingchuan received Lin Yuan’s signal, took control of the generals surrounding Black Mountain, and learned that the Town Protectorate’s Path Entrant Celestial Masters had been eliminated.
• The eight hundred thousand troops marched on the capital, and Red Province, Yong Province, and sixty-six other provinces joined the campaign against the court.
• As armies and Celestial Masters gathered outside the capital, Lin Yuan slipped into the Imperial Palace while its strongest defenders were away.
• Lin Yuan found the Great Feng Emperor on the Dragon Throne and pierced the emperor’s head with his Mind Power.

Lin Yuan killed the Great Feng Emperor, but the Time Loop did not end, leading him to realize the emperor was still alive. Fifty years earlier, the emperor had hidden himself in a coffin at the bottom of the Endless East Sea to survive his final tribulation.

• Lin Yuan used Mind Power to kill the Emperor-robed Old Man, and the imperial palace fell into chaos as guards and officials discovered the emperor's death.
• Lin Yuan confirmed the dead man was the Great Feng Emperor but realized the Time Loop remained intact, so he concluded the emperor must still be alive.
• Fifty years earlier, the Great Feng Emperor secretly left court after preparing a substitute to take his place.
• The Great Feng Emperor entered a coffin made from Primal Divine Metal and used a feigned-death technique to sleep at the bottom of the deep sea until his lifespan ran out.

• After the Great Feng Emperor's death and the defenders' collapse, Lin Yuan's forces captured the capital, and Lin Yuan concluded that the emperor he killed had been a puppet.
• Lin Yuan traced the puppet emperor's past and learned that the true Great Feng Emperor had disappeared fifty years earlier, then founded the Great Yan Dynasty and ordered a search for him.
• Lin Yuan's third uncle, Lu San, witnessed the founding of Great Yan before dying a month later, leaving Lin Yuan with no living family or old friends in the loop.
• Lin Yuan investigated the Earth Fire Cave and discovered that the Great Feng Dynasty's Primal Divine Metal had vanished around seventy years earlier along with the artificers who had guarded it.
• Lin Yuan offered a reward for Primal Divine Metal and searched the world for it, hoping it would lead him to the missing Great Feng Emperor; eighty years passed.
