• Jiang Ping An probed the cave with his Divine Sense and found a luminous Star Flower growing from shattered Starfall in an underground pool.

Jiang Ping An found a Star Flower and a mysterious pearl in a cavern before returning to the Star Forest to gather Star Power. Tian Lang entered the Star Brilliance Small World, tracked Jiang Ping An, and trapped him in a formation.

• Jiang Ping An uprooted the Star Flower, then discovered that a white pearl hidden in the meteorite suppressed divine sense and resisted his full strength.
• Jiang Ping An stored the pearl, refined a Star-Devouring Beast, and returned to the Star Forest to hunt for Star Power.
• Tian Lang entered the Star Brilliance Small World after Gongshu Ye helped him reach the middle Lord God Level, intending to kill Jiang Ping An.
• Jiang Ping An collected Star Power from a buried Starfall and sensed killing intent as three Formation Banners surrounded him.
• Tian Lang appeared above Jiang Ping An and announced their reunion as the formation concealed Jiang Ping An from view.

Tian Lang trapped Jiang Ping An and spent an hour torturing him, believing he had complete control of the fight. Jiang Ping An had secretly used Soul Disorder Art to prolong the torment, buy time, and adapt to Tian Lang’s Rule Power, but he remained gravely wounded as Tian Lang prepared to finish him.

• Tian Lang confronted Jiang Ping An inside a triangular barrier and attacked with a High-Grade Lord God Level Divine Sword, while Jiang Ping An’s Primordial Dao Domain redirected much of the Sword Qi.
• Tian Lang recognized that Jiang Ping An cultivated Original Rules and kept attacking as Jiang Ping An dodged, suffered deep wounds, and appeared to beg for mercy.
• Jiang Ping An secretly used Soul Disorder Art to intensify Tian Lang’s pleasure, keeping him from killing quickly while Jiang Ping An adapted his body to the Rule Power.
• After an hour of torment, Tian Lang pinned Jiang Ping An through the stomach with his sword and dismissed the chance that anyone would investigate his death.
• Tian Lang approached the wounded Jiang Ping An, saying he was ready to end his life and report the killing as complete.

Jiang Ping An survived Tian Lang’s ambush and helped the Law Enforcement Hall catch him, then tried to secure evidence against Gongshu Ye. Tian Lang’s call instead revealed that Gongshu Ye had been warned and was denying the accusation.

• Jiang Ping An used Tian Lang’s grip on him to smash Tian Lang into the barrier, then severed his head with the Divine Sword before retreating from Tian Lang’s counterattack.
• The barrier broke as Yang Shuangsu and more than a dozen Law Enforcement Hall members arrived, and Tian Lang realized they had witnessed his attack and heard his admission about Gongshu Ye.
• Tian Lang pleaded that Gongshu Ye had forced him, while Yang Shuangsu ordered the Law Enforcement Hall disciples to handcuff him.
• Jiang Ping An asked Tian Lang to contact Gongshu Ye and claim he had killed Jiang Ping An so the Law Enforcement Hall could record Gongshu Ye’s response.
• Tian Lang called Gongshu Ye, who denied ordering the murder and accused Tian Lang of stealing his Mystic Treasures, revealing that someone had tipped him off.

After Tian Lang failed to implicate Gongshu Ye, Gongshu Ye planned to use Galaxy Lake to bring trouble upon Jiang Ping An. Jiang Ping An then discovered that his stored Star Power had vanished and the Star Flower had withered, while the mysterious white bead had moved.

• Gongshu Ye denied ordering Tian Lang to assassinate Jiang Ping An, leaving Tian Lang to face the Law Enforcement Hall alone.
• Yang Shuangsu took Jiang Ping An and Tian Lang to the Law Enforcement Hall, while Tian Lang begged Jiang Ping An for forgiveness and Jiang ignored him.
• Gongshu Ye resolved to kill Jiang Ping An by spreading rumors of an inheritance at Galaxy Lake, hoping the resulting chaos would get Jiang Ping An punished.
• Jiang Ping An left his statement with the Law Enforcement Hall and headed to sell thirteen bottles of Star Power, but discovered the bottles had shattered and their contents had disappeared.
• Jiang Ping An saw that his Star Flower had withered and noticed that the mysterious white bead beside it had changed position.

Jiang Ping An discovered that the white bead had absorbed his Star Power and Star Flowers, then triggered a disturbance at Galaxy Lake when he tried to appraise it. He learned that a sealed Nebula Palace legacy lay beneath the lake, but could not obtain information about it because his authority was insufficient.

• Jiang Ping An found his Star Power and Star Flowers gone and suspected the white bead had absorbed them, but the bead showed no reaction when he tried to force it to return them.
• Jiang Ping An brought the white bead to the Phantom Spirit Cultivation Platform, where it shone brightly and caused Galaxy Lake to churn.
• Several powerful figures arrived, discussed a sealed Nebula Palace legacy beneath Galaxy Lake, and confirmed that its seal remained intact.
• Jiang Ping An heard the experts' conversation and wondered why the white bead had stirred the legacy beneath the lake.
• Jiang Ping An asked the Divine Ruins Space information attendant about the legacy, but she refused because his authority level was insufficient.

Jiang Ping An received his curse-cloth reward and continued cultivating as rumors of a sealed Nebula Palace inheritance drew disciples to Galaxy Lake. After the Discipline Hall left him responsible for policing the area, he tried to drive the intruders away with warnings, and many departed while others stayed to search.

• Jiang Ping An opened his Newcomer Assessment reward, took out a curse-imbued strip of cloth, and wrapped it around his left hand to train against its weakening effect.
• Rumors spread that Nebula Palace's True God inheritance was sealed at Galaxy Lake, attracting holy land disciples and Void God experts to the area.
• A Discipline Hall official ordered Jiang Ping An to keep outsiders away from Galaxy Lake but refused to send help, warning that he would be punished if the area was mismanaged.
• Jiang Ping An reasoned that he could not safely confront the intruders, so he announced that the inheritance was sealed by a True God and that the searchers lacked the talent and backing to claim it.
• Some disciples gave up and left, while others continued searching; after Jiang Ping An warned that the Discipline Hall might fine or imprison them, more withdrew.

Jiang Ping An kept Galaxy Lake quiet with a warning projection while Gongshu Ye secretly spread rumors about its inheritance. When Jiang Ping An reunited with Qu Ji to thank him for his guidance, Qu Ji sensed the aura of the Nebula Pearl on him.

• Jiang Ping An projected a warning above Galaxy Lake, telling visitors that a True God had sealed the inheritance and that patrols would punish trespassers.
• Gongshu Ye spread rumors in major cities that Nebula Palace's inheritance lay at Galaxy Lake and could help someone reach the True God Realm.
• Disciples came to search Galaxy Lake, but most left after seeing Jiang Ping An's warning, and the Discipline Hall patrolmen found the area peaceful.
• The patrolmen recognized Qu Ji beneath a tree and told a newcomer about his extraordinary cultivation and combat achievements.
• Jiang Ping An approached Qu Ji with wine to thank him for teaching him an attack technique, then demonstrated that he had mastered a close-range version of it.
• Qu Ji praised Jiang Ping An's talent, then sensed the aura of the Nebula Pearl on him.

Jiang Ping An learned from Qu Ji that the Nebula Pearl held part of the Nebula Palace inheritance and could lead to its core inheritance. He planned to gather Star Power to reveal its contents, while Demon Illusion Fairy warned him to avoid danger and seek out upcoming opportunities.

• Qu Ji explained that the Nebula Pearl was the key to the Nebula Palace inheritance and offered to help Jiang Ping An enter its interior if he mastered the inheritance within it.
• Jiang Ping An accepted Qu Ji's contact request and returned to his residence, where he examined the sealed Nebula Pearl.
• Jiang Ping An realized that he needed to infuse the pearl with Star Power, though he worried it might require more than he could afford.
• Demon Illusion Fairy contacted Jiang Ping An, warned him not to clash with visitors at Galaxy Lake, and told him to watch for competitions and inheritance opportunities.
• Jiang Ping An sent an incarnation to the Star Brilliance Small World to gather Star Power.

Jiang Ping An gathered Star Power and used Green Radiance Divine Gold to strengthen his body while the Sacred Land’s competitions drew attention away from Galaxy Lake. After the Nebula Pearl finally responded, he read the Future Scripture and was shocked by its contents.

• Jiang Ping An absorbed Ghost Magic Power from Green Radiance Divine Gold, strengthening his body with his Facing Tribulation talent.
• Jiang Ping An’s projections persuaded most visitors to leave Galaxy Lake, while Gongshu Ye abandoned his attempt to stir up trouble and went to seek resources.
• Jiang Ping An continued cultivating and gathering Star Power as the Sacred Land held competitions and distributed resources.
• After gathering Star Power for more than a year, Jiang Ping An ventured deeper into the Star Forest and killed more Star-Devouring Beasts.
• The Nebula Pearl responded to a lower Lord God Level Star-Devouring Beast, projected the words “Future Scripture,” and allowed Jiang Ping An to read its contents.
• Jiang Ping An read the Future Scripture and stared in shock at the spell.

Jiang Ping An studied the Future Scripture, a forbidden technique that let cultivators borrow power from their future selves, and learned its dangers and limits. He chose to comprehend it anyway, believing he might need it to save his life.

• Jiang Ping An read that the Future Scripture had three levels, each borrowing power from his cultivation a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years in the future.
• Jiang Ping An studied the preface and understood that the past, present, and future coexisted, while his present actions shaped his future.
• Jiang Ping An learned that borrowing power could weaken or harm his future self, exceed his present body's limits, fail under certain circumstances, and invite calamity if overused.
• Jiang Ping An chose to comprehend the Future Scripture despite its risks, since learning it did not require Sacred Dao Law and Primordial Qi could activate it.

Jiang Ping An studied the Primordial Rule, spent most of his savings on Soul-Nourishing Liquid, and searched for a way to earn more resources. Barred from high-end competitions as a menial servant, he registered for Star Brilliance City's Body Cultivator Duel and returned to cultivation before the event.

As the body cultivator tournament continued, Zheng Chiyan agreed to take on Jiang Ping An for payment from Zheng Xionghan, while spectators judged Jiang Ping An’s background before his next match began.
