After she left, he discovered his Death Countdown had fallen by fifteen years, then found that completing a cycle between all five Dao Fruits was the key to his breakthrough; connecting the final pair unleashed an ancient, chaotic power.

• Chu Meiyan found no Ghost Demon Mark on Jiang Ping An and ordered him to attack her with a law; he used the Limitless Rule to mimic flames, convincing her he was not Jiang Ping An.
• Chu Meiyan blasted Jiang Ping An into his room and left, and he realized she had caused his Death Countdown to drop by fifteen years.

• Jiang MiaoYi sent Jiang Ping An a Substitute Death Puppet as a reward from the Newcomer Assessment, and he accepted it to avoid hurting her feelings.
• Jiang Ping An bound the puppet to himself and confirmed that it did not affect the death countdown on his mysterious mirror.
• After using up his Divine Crystal Stones while comprehending the Primordial Rule and Limitless Rule, Jiang Ping An traveled to Star Brilliance City to appraise his ship fuel.
• Liu Xunnian identified the fuel as diluted Purple Sun Origin Power from the Myriad Origin Divine Domain and offered to buy more at a high price depending on its purity and quantity.
• Jiang Ping An sent a clone away as a precaution and asked Liu Xunnian and the manager to activate a barrier before he revealed the rest of his fuel.

Jiang Ping An sold the fuel in an ancient Fuel Furnace and, after bargaining, received 102,000 Divine Crystal Stones’ worth of Holy Land Coins. His Death Countdown then dropped by twenty-four years, leaving his three personality souls debating how they could discover what was causing his impending death.

• Jiang Ping An brought out a massive Fuel Furnace, and Liu Xunnian identified its fuel as exceptionally pure Purple Liquid Flame.
• Liu Xunnian valued the fuel at about two thousand Divine Crystal Stones and offered three thousand for the furnace and fuel together, but Jiang Ping An demanded one hundred thousand for the furnace alone.

• Jiang Ping An noticed that his Death Countdown had fallen from 290 years to 266 years and wondered whether the sale or his new wealth had triggered the change.
• Jiang Ping An’s personality souls debated leaving the Holy Land, staying, or hiring a Void God Realm expert, then concluded that they needed to foresee the cause of his death.

Jiang Ping An accepted that he had to cultivate the Future Scripture to avert his coming death and focused on strengthening himself and his Origin Heavenly Dragon Clone. As Divine Ruins Holy Land reeled from a series of defeats to visiting disciples, Skyreach Holy Land disciples arrived near Galaxy Lake and considered using the area as their temporary residence.

• Jiang Ping An decided to study the Future Scripture despite the danger of being cursed by time, hoping to protect himself and his family from the future deaths he had foreseen.
• Jiang Ping An bought cultivation supplies, then purchased two Celestial Pivot Law-Devouring Pills in Divine Ruins Space to help his Origin Heavenly Dragon Clone absorb the Bone Axe's power.

• Several auras appeared near Galaxy Lake, where a Skyreach Holy Land disciple proposed using the quiet area as a temporary residence.

Skyreach Holy Land disciples tried to claim Galaxy Lake, and Xie Tang attacked its administrator, Jiang Ping An, after he insisted they follow the rules. Jiang Ping An blocked her sword strike and kicked her into the island, leaving her disciples shocked and expecting her to retaliate.

• Gu Guiyou and Xie Tang decided to make Galaxy Lake their residence and ordered Jiang Ping An to leave.
• Xie Tang refused to submit a request, called Jiang Ping An an animal, and destroyed his courtyard and Phantom Spirit Cultivation Platform with sword qi.

• Xie Tang launched a powerful Domineering Sword strike at Jiang Ping An, but he broke free of its pressure and kicked her into the island.
• Jiang Ping An repeated that he would leave when ordered, while Skyreach Holy Land disciples reacted with shock and anticipated Xie Tang's anger.

Jiang Ping An brutally defeated Xie Tang after she attacked him, then faced Gu Guiyou, who challenged him to a contest of physical strength. Their fists collided in an escalating clash as the onlookers debated whether Jiang Ping An could match Gu Guiyou.

• Xie Tang attacked Jiang Ping An with her purple divine sword, but he charged through her sword net and blocked her strike with the Undying Demon Bone.
• Jiang Ping An battered Xie Tang, tore off her left arm, and sent her skimming across the lake until Gu Guiyou ordered her to stop.

• Jiang Ping An seized Gu Guiyou's wrist and traded punches with him, and their physical clash sent waves across the lake.
• The Skyreach Holy Land group watched the duel, while Xie Tang insisted Jiang Ping An could not compare to her senior brother.

• Jiang Ping An asked Gu Guiyou to spare him and tried to leave, but Gu Guiyou drew a divine sword and slashed open his chest.

Jiang Ping An fought Gu Guiyou at Galaxy Lake, revealing the power of his Primordial Dao Domain but struggling against Gu Guiyou’s superior swordsmanship and movement. As Nangong Longxiao watched, puzzled by Jiang Ping An’s rapid rise despite his ill fortune, Gu Guiyou prepared to finish the battle by summoning a second body with the same combat strength as his original.

• Gu Guiyou wounded Jiang Ping An, but Jiang Ping An used his Primordial Dao Domain to suppress Gu Guiyou’s laws and fought back with his Primordial Dharma Form and Heaven-Opening Creation Axe.

After conceding to Gu Guiyou at Galaxy Lake, Jiang Ping An tried to avoid further entanglements, but Nangong Longxiao contacted him and offered him a residence. Jiang Ping An refused and cut off contact, only for Nangong Longxiao to appear in person, leaving him wary of the elder’s curiosity.

• Nangong Longxiao appeared behind Jiang Ping An with a Healing Pill, and Jiang Ping An sensed a frightening fluctuation before accepting it with thanks.

Nangong Longxiao brought Jiang Ping An to a lavish residence on a floating God Island, intending to observe him from afar because of his unusual fate.

• Nangong Longxiao gave Jiang Ping An a pass for the island and left, while Jiang Ping An began cultivating with the Lung Dao Fruit and resolved to protect his secrets.

Jiang Ping An cultivated in Nangong Longxiao’s palace while Nangong secretly watched him, eventually reaching the Second Floor of the Future Scripture. A mandatory mission sent him back to the Spirit-Severing Cold Sea to defend a Crimson Marrow Crystal Mine, and he began preparing for the dangers ahead.

• Jiang Ping An entered Nangong Longxiao’s palace, settled into its cultivation room, and studied the Original Rules and the Future Scripture.

• Jiang Ping An spent most of his Divine Crystal Stones on supplies and traveled to the meeting point near the Domain portal.
• Su Jin welcomed Jiang Ping An at the meeting place, where he discovered Chu Meiyan was also there.

• Su Jin rebuked Chu Meiyan, who insulted her by suggesting they share Jiang Ping An, and Su Jin pulled him into the room to avoid further provocation.

Jiang Ping An learned that fierce beast attacks had made the Crimson Marrow Crystal Mine mission deadly, then confronted Si Qiaonan after Chu Meiyan provoked a clash. The group prepared to depart under Yue Qing’s command, knowing they would enter battle as soon as they arrived.

• Su Jin told Jiang Ping An that powerful beasts were attacking the mine to seize top-grade red marrow crystal, and that earlier groups had suffered heavy casualties.
• Si Qiaonan mocked Jiang Ping An for questioning the mission, while Su Jin defended him and Chu Meiyan praised him, intensifying Si Qiaonan’s jealousy.

• Jiang Ping An released a High Lord God aura, surprising Su Jin and Chu Meiyan and making Si Qiaonan wary.
• Yue Qing arrived, identified himself as a First-Tribulation Void God, and ordered the group to leave in one hour for the urgent battle at the mine.

• Jiang Ping An used his Primordial Dao Domain and Space Power to rescue a poisoned saber wielder from a venomous scorpion.

• Jiang Ping An charged toward a many-tailed fish while the saber wielder watched in disbelief and celebrated the arrival of the Holy Land’s Top Talents.

Jiang Ping An and the Holy Land disciples helped repel an ordinary beast tide, but a far more terrifying horde of blood-colored beasts soon emerged from the Spirit-Severing Cold Sea. As the defenders fought to hold the line, Jiang Ping An faced a strange bird whose body could grow new limbs.

• Jiang Ping An and the Holy Land disciples joined the battle, drove back the first beast tide, and stopped pursuing at the continent's edge.
• Yue Qing warned that beast tides struck frequently, but a senior officer soon announced a new wave of beasts was approaching.
• Blood-colored beasts surged from the Spirit-Severing Cold Sea, and Yue Qing ordered the Holy Land disciples to hold the defensive line.
• Jiang Ping An reassured Su Jin and promised to protect her while she supported the defenders with her zither.
• Jiang Ping An charged a strange bird, blocked its icy mist, and struck its head, but the bird grew a tiger-like claw from its forehead and sent him flying.

Jiang Ping An fought strange blood-colored beasts whose bodies adapted to their opponents and whose souls resisted his powers. As the beasts overwhelmed the miners’ guards and pressured the Holy Land disciples, five High Lord God-level beasts surrounded him.

• Jiang Ping An entered a red-furred bird’s mind and found only an instinctive command to seize the mining area and kill anyone who resisted; he could neither alter nor destroy its soul.
• Jiang Ping An wounded the bird with his Bone Axe, escaped after it swallowed him, and killed it with Primordial Calamity Light.
