Jiang Ping An rested after fighting the red-furred beasts and attended a banquet, where Su Jin offered to take him home to pursue a rare soul-type Death Curse Seal. He was stunned to discover that his daughter Jiang MiaoYi was also stationed at the Mining Area, and she greeted him as her senior brother.

At a banquet, Jiang Ping An learned that rival Holy Lands had defeated Divine Ruins Holy Land’s elites and heard Commander Yue Qing announce a dangerous investigation into Fierce Beast territory. As disciples volunteered for the chance to earn a Holy Land Medal, Yue Qing singled out Jiang Ping An, who had chosen not to volunteer.

• Jiang Ping An led his nine teammates into the Spirit-Severing Cold Sea and told Su Jin they would wander around before returning.

Jiang Ping An led the Holy Land elites into the Ferocious Beast Territory and explained that their mission was likely intended as training while Void God experts conducted the real investigation. When several teams were attacked by organized forces, he chose to avoid the danger and continue onward, suspecting the elites were being used as bait to cover the true investigators.

• Jiang Ping An challenged the elites to consider the vast size and unclear objectives of the mission, then explained that the higher-ups likely meant to train them and keep them safe under his command.

Jiang Ping An led his squad to clear a beast stronghold after carefully scouting the area and preparing a teleportation escape. During the battle, he discovered a vast red-haired sphere inside the iceberg that was gestating countless Red-Haired Fierce Beasts, including some at the High Lord God realm.

• Jiang Ping An noticed a beast gathering on an iceberg and proposed clearing it after scouting for other strongholds.

• Chu Meiyan set up a long-distance Teleportation Array, and Jiang Ping An ordered the squad to withdraw after three days whether or not the battle was finished.
• Jiang Ping An led the attack on the iceberg, and he and the other disciples fought through the beasts without encountering any Void God-level enemies.
• A beast’s tail struck Jiang Ping An through the ice, where he found a gigantic red-haired sphere embedded in the iceberg.
• Jiang Ping An used his Origin Heavenly Dragon Clone to cut into the sphere and discovered countless Red-Haired Fierce Beasts developing in translucent sacs.

Jiang Ping An found a strange red-haired sphere linked to the Red-Haired Fierce Beasts and prepared to report it, but a pursuing horde forced his group to flee. They rescued Si Qiaonan at the Teleportation Array, where he turned on Jiang Ping An just as it activated.

• Jiang Ping An transferred the soul-less red-haired sphere into his inner world, and the group killed the high-ranking beasts and sealed the remaining ones.
• Jiang Ping An ordered the group back to the mining area after finding something that might be connected to the Red-Haired Fierce Beasts.
• Jiang Ping An sensed danger, and the group hurried toward their Teleportation Array as a beast horde approached with Si Qiaonan fleeing ahead of it.
• Chu Meiyan ignored Jiang Ping An’s order to leave immediately, and a spatially skilled disciple brought Si Qiaonan to the array.
• As Chu Meiyan activated the Teleportation Array, Si Qiaonan kicked at Jiang Ping An, trying to knock him out of it.

Jiang Ping An kicked Si Qiaonan out of the Teleportation Array after Si tried to ambush him, then returned to the mine with the team and reported finding the Red-Furred Sphere. Yue Qing took the sphere to report it, while Su Jin offered Jiang Ping An refuge and asked when he would pursue the Death Curse Seal.

• When Si Qiaonan tried to strike Jiang Ping An, Jiang broke his leg and kicked him out of the Teleportation Array, leaving him behind as fierce beasts closed in.
• After the array transported the others, Hou Song accused Jiang Ping An of going too far and threatened him with Si Qiaonan's powerful family, but Jiang remained unconcerned.
• Jiang Ping An reported the Red-Furred Sphere and his encounter with Si Qiaonan to Yue Qing, then returned to the Crimson Marrow Crystal Mine with the others.
• Yue Qing inspected the sphere, reacted with horror to the million-plus unhatched fierce beasts inside, and left to report the discovery to his superiors.
• Su Jin offered to take Jiang Ping An to her homeland for protection and asked when he planned to obtain the Death Curse Seal; Jiang asked how long it would take.

Jiang Ping An bought pills to strengthen his Origin Heavenly Dragon Clone and learned that his team had earned merit for its discovery of the red-furred fierce beasts. He chose to remain on the mission until Jiang MiaoYi finished hers, while Si Qiaonan arrived outside his room, wounded and furious.

• Jiang Ping An asked Su Jin to wait a dozen or so years before taking him to comprehend a Death Curse Seal, and she agreed.
• Jiang Ping An bought ten Crimson Marrow God Blood Pills for his Origin Heavenly Dragon Clone and encountered Jiang MiaoYi, who mistakenly thought he was courting Su Jin for resources.
• Yue Qing informed Jiang Ping An's team that their discovery was important and that they could return early or continue their mission for further rewards.
• Jiang Ping An told Jiang MiaoYi he would stay for the six years remaining on her mission, while she jokingly accused him of earning an early return by pleasing Su Jin.
• Jiang Ping An resumed comprehending the Second Floor of the Future Scripture, and about half a month later Si Qiaonan arrived outside his room wounded and threatening him.

Jiang Ping An returned from the mining district with Jiang MiaoYi and received a huge reward for his assignment, then bought cultivation supplies in Star Brilliance City. As he prepared to return to his current residence, Law Enforcement Hall officers surrounded him and ordered him to come with them.

• Jiang Ping An fought in another beast tide while Si Qiaonan secretly collected his hair, blood, and clothing to use against him.

• At the entrance to the Law Enforcement Hall, more than a dozen officers surrounded Jiang Ping An and demanded that he come with them.

Jiang Ping An was accused of robbing a cargo ship and defended himself before the Law Enforcement Hall, arguing that the evidence had been planted. He named several powerful enemies who might have framed him, leaving the law enforcers stunned by how many people he had offended.

• Yang Shuangsu accused Jiang Ping An of having blood and hair linked to a cargo ship robbery that killed everyone aboard.
• Wang Dong handcuffed Jiang Ping An and tried to drag him to the torture chamber, but Yang Shuangsu stopped him and continued the interrogation.
• Jiang Ping An cited his mining missions, his ability to erase evidence with the Primordial Rule, and his earnings of nine hundred billion Holy Land Coins to challenge the accusations.
• Jiang Ping An said Si Qiaonan likely framed him after their clash near a Teleportation Array, and he suspected a bribed law enforcer was involved.
• Jiang Ping An listed Chu Meiyan, Gongshu Ye, the geniuses who fought him over Galaxy Lake, and a Radiant Light Divine Hall disciple among his other possible enemies, stunning the law enforcers.

Jiang Ping An remained the prime suspect in the cargo ship attack and was sentenced to thirty thousand years in the Starry Sky Prison. As Wang Dong whipped him, Jiang Ping An accused the deacon of being bribed, and Wang Dong’s reaction deepened the suspicion.

• Yang Shuangsu rejected Wang Dong’s push to convict Jiang Ping An and kept him in custody while the investigation continued.

After enduring twenty lashes, Jiang Ping An was sent to Starry Sky Prison and learned about the dangers and rules of its Fifth Layer. As he explored the prison and considered mining Green Radiance Divine Gold, Yan Yu and two others approached him.

• Wang Dong whipped Jiang Ping An twenty times, but Jiang Ping An remained silent and threatened him before fainting.
• Jiang Ping An woke in a cell, realized he was in Starry Sky Prison, and sent an Avatar out to investigate.

• Jiang Ping An explored the prison and planned to master the Second Floor of the Future Scripture before deciding whether to mine Green Radiance Divine Gold.
• Yan Yu and two companions approached Jiang Ping An, and Yan Yu asked if he had just arrived.

Jiang Ping An mastered the Second Floor of the Future Scripture and saw that he would die 179 years later at the hands of a Ghost Magic Power-wreathed figure. He recognized the killer as the Ghost Demon Emperor, but the figure’s claim to be the Seventh Person and his future self’s unfinished warning left the mystery unresolved.

• Yan Yu extorted a bottle of Lord God Pills from Jiang Ping An and warned him to use Yan Yu’s name if anyone threatened him.
• Jiang Ping An explored the Starry Sky Prison, then spent five years comprehending the Second Floor of the Future Scripture.
• Jiang Ping An used the Time Wall to look a thousand years ahead but saw only darkness, suggesting he would be dead by then.
• Jiang Ping An looked 179 years into the future and watched a Ghost Magic Power-wreathed figure kill his injured future self after claiming to be the Seventh Person.
• Jiang Ping An identified the killer as the Ghost Demon Emperor after recalling the figure’s words and its powerful Ghost Magic Power.

After a Time Revenant appeared when Jiang Ping An used the Future Scripture, he realized his future self’s message could alter the timeline and searched for the meaning of “Supreme.” He learned about a legendary supreme rule that might be the key to his predicament and asked the Cow Intelligence Officer to explain it.

• Jiang Ping An wondered whether the mysterious being who killed his future self was the Ghost Demon Emperor, then used the Future Scripture to investigate the danger and the word “Supreme.”
• A Time Revenant appeared inside the Time Wall, cracked it by ramming its skull against it, and warned Jiang Ping An that he would eventually become like it.
• Jiang Ping An cut off the Future Scripture and concluded that his future self’s message had affected the timeline, making “Supreme” potentially important to escaping his predicament.
• Jiang Ping An rented a cultivation room in the prison and entered the Divine Ruins Space to search for information about “Supreme.”
• The Cow Intelligence Officer explained that a legendary supreme rule existed only in stories and not within the Dao Emperor Divine Domain, and Jiang Ping An asked her to elaborate.

Jiang Ping An struggled to understand the message his future self had left about the Supreme while facing a murder plot in Starry Sky Prison. After refusing Yan Yu’s invitation to mine outside the managed zone, he was arrested on a new assault allegation.

• A Cow Intelligence Officer told Jiang Ping An that the supreme rule was considered hypothetical, and Jiang Ping An found no useful clue about his future self’s message.
• Jiang Ping An told Su Jin he could not visit her hometown because he had been framed and imprisoned; Su Jin vowed to investigate.
• Yan Yu and two accomplices tried to lure Jiang Ping An into mining green radiance divine gold outside the managed zone so they could kill him, but he refused.

• Zhao Ci and a group of law enforcers burst into Jiang Ping An’s room with an arrest warrant, accusing him of assaulting other prisoners.

Jiang Ping An broke free from the wardens who framed him, killed those who tried to arrest him, and escaped the prison. Warden Lin Zhang then killed the two surviving wardens and ordered the prison to hunt Jiang Ping An down.

• Jiang Ping An revealed that his Primordial Rule could suppress the wardens despite the Sealing Handcuffs, then broke the handcuffs apart.
• Jiang Ping An killed Zhao Ci, Yan Yu, and several wardens who had harbored killing intent toward him, while sparing two others.

• Lin Zhang arrived, killed the two surviving wardens, and ordered the prison to hunt Jiang Ping An without leaving survivors.

Jiang Ping An hid in a Green Radiance Divine Gold vein after being framed, but years of obsessing over his future self’s words, [Supreme Above], drove him into Qi Deviation. He recognized the danger and tried to examine the fixation behind it, but found himself trapped in a loop with no clear way to survive.

• Lin Zhang issued a Wanted Poster accusing Jiang Ping An of killing prison guards and escaping, then left the pursuit to others.
• Jiang Ping An fled deep into the mine tunnels, hid inside a Green Radiance Divine Gold vein, shielded his Identity Token, and told Jiang MiaoYi he was entering seclusion.
• For ten years, Jiang Ping An tried to decipher [Supreme Above], growing increasingly agitated until he nearly rushed out to kill someone.
• Jiang Ping An played Jiang MiaoYi’s message, remembered his family, and realized he had fallen into Qi Deviation.
• Jiang Ping An used the Soul Disorder Art and Void Essence Soul-Nourishing Liquid while examining his Inner Demon, but concluded that his need to decipher [Supreme Above] and survive formed a self-repeating loop.

Jiang Ping An overcame his inner demons by merging his souls and believing that the soul was the Supreme Dao, then entered a profound state of unity between soul and body. While he remained immersed in that state for years, a shadowy prisoner on the eighteenth layer vowed to kill the newly appeared seventh person, and Earth Demon Green Fiends erupted across the Fifth Layer.

• Jiang Ping An absorbed his Dark Personality Soul and Sorrowful Personality Soul, strengthening his soul while their negative emotions intensified his inner demons.

• Jiang Ping An remained immersed in the strange state for years while Earth Demon Green Fiends suddenly emerged from the mines and attacked prisoners and guards on the Fifth Layer.

As Jiang Ping An cultivated in hiding, two Void God Realm stewards discovered his powerful Soul Force and pursued him after he fled. Cao Junhong’s flaming blade attack engulfed Jiang Ping An, leaving his fate uncertain.

• A cloaked figure searched the Fifth Layer for Jiang Ping An while Jiang focused on transforming his soul in the underground mine.
• The Holy Land sent experts, including Ning Hui and Cao Junhong, to hunt the Earth Demon Green Fiends as the uprising subsided.
• Ning Hui and Cao Junhong found Jiang Ping An inside a golden sphere and questioned his identity; Jiang claimed to be a prison guard.
• When Cao Junhong demanded Jiang’s Identity Token, Jiang fled, and the two stewards chased him, suspecting he was a wanted prisoner.
• Ning Hui’s Sword Qi missed Jiang, but Cao Junhong’s scarlet Divine Bird of Blade Qi caught him and exploded, engulfing him in flames.
