Chapter Summaries

Li Yuan nearly reached Purple Mountain’s summit and received the Heart Dream God Emperor’s message, which revealed that the Ancient Cosmic Realm was meant to help a True God build a perfect Inner Cosmic Realm. He returned to the Chaos Divine Court knowing he needed to evolve the Mind True Realm before he could bear the Ancient Cosmic Realm’s origin.

• Li Yuan and the other God Monarchs arrived in the outer void and saw the enormous star of Beichen Residence.

Li Yuan entered Beichen Star with the other Celestial Gods to hunt for treasures, while learning about the dangers and rules governing the God Emperor’s ruined residence. After discovering that native lifeforms could be both dangerous and wealthy, he killed the Purple Dragon King and continued deeper into the star.

• God King Dongmang gave Li Yuan and the other forty God Monarchs temporary tokens that protected them from Beichen Star’s guardian array for a thousand years, and reminded them to share most treasures with the Divine Court and prioritize survival.
• Li Yuan was randomly teleported to Beichen Star, where he found that the array heavily restricted movement and perception, and that the Heart Dream Divine Realm still let him communicate with his allies.

• Li Yuan overwhelmed the Purple Dragon King with his Silver Moon God Spear and a soul technique, then killed him and collected his treasures.
• Li Yuan found that the Purple Dragon King’s storage artifact contained treasures worth an estimated two or three million trillion Mind Dream Coins, and continued deeper into Beichen Star.

God Monarch Ganyu used a Karmic Heart Crystal to locate Li Yuan and set out to kill him, while Li Yuan explored Beichen Star and gathered intelligence from the Chaos Divine Court. After missing teleportation arrays and treasure spaces for weeks, Li Yuan finally sensed a new energy surge and rushed toward it.

• God Monarch Ganyu killed a native king, crushed the Karmic Heart Crystal, and followed the resulting Causal Line toward Li Yuan.

• Li Yuan finally sensed a vast energy surge that might signal a passage to a treasure space and flew toward its source.

Li Yuan entered a treasure space above the Abyssal Rift, killed most of the native lifeforms waiting outside, and joined a crowd of powerful outsiders inside. When a Qingyun Dao Truth Fruit emerged, the contest began, with Li Yuan and God Monarch Yunguang drawing the native lifeforms’ attacks.

• Li Yuan flew to the treasure-space entrance above the Abyssal Rift and killed fourteen of the sixteen native lifeforms who attacked him, while two escaped.

• The treasure revealed itself as a Qingyun Dao Truth Fruit, and a voice declared that only one powerhouse could remain to claim it.
• More than one hundred native lifeforms attacked Li Yuan and God Monarch Yunguang, and Li Yuan spread Mind Realm across the treasure space as the battle began.

Li Yuan used his soul attack and Starry World Sea domain to overwhelm the native life-forms and drive back the factions that tried to stop him. After slaughtering 112 native life-forms and collecting their treasures, he forced God Monarch Yunguang to yield, then challenged the remaining factions to leave or be sent away.

• The Abyss Divine Court and Wandao Divine Court joined the native life-forms in attacking Li Yuan, while God Monarch Yunguang proposed that she and Li Yuan join forces.

• Li Yuan shattered God Monarch Yunguang’s palm strike, and she conceded the treasure and left the space.
• Li Yuan turned to the remaining factions and asked whether he should send them out or they would leave on their own.

Li Yuan secured the Qingyun Dao Truth Fruit after forcing God Monarch Yunguang and the other contenders to retreat, then continued exploring Beichen Star and fought God Monarch Huoyu to a stalemate. His growing strength earned him fifth place on the Celestial God Ranking, and the chapter ended as he learned that the Teleportation Array had finally been found.

• In another Treasure Space, Li Yuan fought God Monarch Huoyu for nearly half an hour until Huoyu withdrew, unable to outlast him.
• God Monarch Jingu announced the latest Celestial God Ranking, placing Li Yuan fifth, and Li Yuan sensed that the Teleportation Array had been found.

Li Yuan reached fifth place on the Celestial God Ranking, found Teleportation Array 612, and used the Qingyun Dao Truth Fruit to begin secluded cultivation. More than a year later, a gray-robed figure who had tracked Li Yuan arrived nearby, intent on killing him.

• God Monarchs praised Li Yuan’s new fifth-place ranking, while God Monarch Taiyan’s rise to seventh was also noted.
• Li Yuan reported finding Teleportation Array 612 and learned that it could provide a route off Beichen Star, though leaving would invalidate his Celestial God Token.
• Li Yuan set up a secluded cultivation site, refined the Qingyun Dao Truth Fruit, and focused on comprehending the Void and Reality of Space.
• Li Yuan’s true body cultivated the Law of Earth with a Seven Shadow Dao-Integration Flower as his source body studied the Law of Space.
• After more than a year, a gray-robed figure tracked Li Yuan’s position through karmic sensing and hurried toward him, planning to kill him.

Li Yuan discovered that God Monarch Ganyu was hunting him and fled toward a Teleportation Array, but the Invincible Celestial God caught up and attacked him. Li Yuan endured Ganyu’s strongest God King-grade sword art and remained alive, though his Divine Heart was damaged, while he was still trying to reach the array.

• God Monarch Ganyu secretly approached Li Yuan, intending to steal his treasures, but Li Yuan sensed danger and identified him with the Eye of Heavenly Nether and the Starry World Sea.
• Li Yuan fled toward the Teleportation Array and tried to slow Ganyu with his domain and soul attack, but Ganyu’s strength and defenses rendered both ineffective.
• God King Dongmang watched Li Yuan’s memory projection, suspected the Abyss Divine Court and Wandao Divine Court were behind the hunt, and sent God Monarch Mingfang toward the Teleportation Array.
• Ganyu caught up with Li Yuan and struck him with his Divine Sword, but Li Yuan blocked the attack and continued fleeing.
• Ganyu unleashed his strongest move, Jueming, and Li Yuan countered with Piercing Heaven empowered by the Starry World Sea.
• Li Yuan survived the clash, though the sword strike left fine cracks in his Divine Heart, and Ganyu prepared another attack as Li Yuan remained less than seven hundred thousand kilometers from the Teleportation Array.

God Monarch Ganyu overwhelmed Li Yuan with his Shadow Passing sword art, forcing him to flee through a Teleportation Array with severe injuries. Ganyu tracked him by karma and appeared at Li Yuan’s destination, leaving Li Yuan facing him again.

• God Monarch Ganyu used Shadow Passing to break through Li Yuan’s defenses and repeatedly damage his divine body and Divine Heart.
• God King Dongmang warned Li Yuan that Ganyu might be tracking him with a karmic secret treasure and advised him to flee Beichen Star, but Li Yuan chose to gamble and remain.
• Li Yuan endured forty-six sword strikes before escaping through a Teleportation Array, while Ganyu deduced his destination through karma and the array’s map information.
• Li Yuan arrived at the other end of Beichen Star and realized his injuries would take months to heal.
• God Monarch Ganyu appeared in the destination array hall and greeted Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was cornered by God Monarch Ganyu in a teleportation array and broke through to the sixth form of the Huanxin Divine Canon, gaining enough power to hold him off despite his severe injuries. As Ganyu continued pressing the attack, God Monarch Suihuan appeared and offered to fight him.

• Li Yuan realized God Monarch Ganyu had tracked him and chose to fight rather than flee, but Ganyu refused to reveal who had hired him.
• As Ganyu wounded him, Li Yuan awakened the sixth form, Heart's Direction, and learned that God King Huanxin had pursued the True Heart Eternal Dao.
• Li Yuan's new spear technique blocked Ganyu's attacks, shocking the watching God Monarchs and pleasing God King Dongmang, while God King Yuchen insisted Li Yuan still had to die.
• Li Yuan blocked 169 strikes before Ganyu's 170th strike sent him flying and broke his arm.
• God Monarch Suihuan appeared in the teleportation array, and Li Yuan warned him to flee before Suihuan offered to fight Ganyu.

God Monarch Suihuan rescued Li Yuan from God Monarch Ganyu, revealing the hidden strength and Honghe Cosmic Alliance authority that let him use Beichen Star’s Teleportation Array to escape with Li Yuan. They arrived at Teleportation Array No. 6421, where Suihuan promised to protect Li Yuan while Ganyu’s causal tracking remained active.

• God Monarch Suihuan arrived to protect Li Yuan and blocked God Monarch Ganyu’s strongest sword attacks with his twin-palmed technique.

• The watching divine courts reacted with shock to Suihuan’s strength and his ability to use the Teleportation Array again.
• Suihuan explained that he was a Core Member of the Honghe Cosmic Alliance and had spent his one-time lifesaving teleport to reach Li Yuan.
• Suihuan warned that Ganyu would likely track Li Yuan through their Causal Line, then promised to protect him until the connection temporarily disappeared.

God Monarch Suihuan agreed to protect Li Yuan and revealed that a deadly trial in the Abyssal Rift could grant high-level authority on Beichen Star. After God Monarch Ganyu repeatedly failed to bypass Suihuan’s authority, he reported to God King Jinhe and urged the Ziwu, Abyss, and Wandao factions to unite against them.

• God Monarch Suihuan told Li Yuan that the Abyssal Rift held a trial path left by Supreme God Emperor Beihe, but warned that even powerful Ten Star Pulse Celestial Gods had died attempting it.
• Li Yuan and God Monarch Suihuan settled inside Teleportation Array No. 6421 while Li Yuan recovered and cultivated, as God Monarch Ganyu approached to test Suihuan’s ability to teleport them away.

• God Monarch Ganyu repeatedly attacked Li Yuan and God Monarch Suihuan over the following months, but Suihuan used his authority to teleport them away each time.
• God Monarch Ganyu told God King Jinhe that Suihuan possessed high-level authority and proposed an Eighth Plan requiring at least one hundred God Monarchs, including God Monarch Donghai and God Monarch Zhuyou.
• God King Jinhe asked the Abyss and Wandao Divine Courts to commit their God Monarchs to a coordinated assault, and God King Chenmo questioned whether their forces could defeat Suihuan.

God King Jinhe negotiated with the Abyss and Wandao Divine Courts to coordinate a large-scale ambush against Li Yuan, and after several years the attack began at Teleportation Array No. 988. Li Yuan and God Monarch Suihuan fought off eight peak God Monarchs, but the arrival of a much larger force left the battle hanging in the balance.

• God King Jinhe demanded payment for the Ziwu Cosmic Realm’s God Monarchs to join the attack, then agreed with God Kings Chenmo and Yuchen to wait three years and pay 500 cubes of Eternal Crystal.
• Li Yuan fully comprehended the Law of Earth while cultivating, then continued focusing on the Void and Reality of Space.
• God Monarch Ganyu lured Li Yuan and God Monarch Suihuan away from Teleportation Array No. 965, forcing them to spend a teleportation before he directed the attackers to Array No. 988.
• God Monarch Zhuyou and seven other peak God Monarchs attacked Li Yuan and God Monarch Suihuan at Array No. 988, but Li Yuan’s soul attacks and spear arts, together with Suihuan’s strength, put the attackers under pressure.
• God Monarch Zhuyou held back as numerous additional figures suddenly appeared inside the Teleportation Array.

Li Yuan and God Monarch Suihuan were driven from the Teleportation Array by overwhelming forces from the Abyss Divine Court and Wandao Divine Court, then faced God Monarch Ruyu in a second pursuit. Li Yuan separated from Suihuan and fled into the Abyssal Rift with Ziwu Cosmic Realm’s God Monarchs closing in, leaving his survival uncertain.

• Li Yuan used Mind Realm against the first wave of God Monarchs, but God Monarch Zhuyou formed a battle formation with thirty-six Nine-Star Celestial God Bodies and attacked Li Yuan while other God Monarchs surrounded him.
• A second wave formed another Celestial God Battle Formation under God Monarch Fuhai and forced God Monarch Suihuan to retreat, so Li Yuan and Suihuan teleported away from Beichen Star.
• God Monarch Ruyu pursued them to Teleportation Array No. 1634, and Li Yuan told Suihuan to teleport separately so he could avoid being tracked and escape a possible third ambush.
• Li Yuan teleported alone to Array No. 8899, where God Monarch Renhai and Ziwu Cosmic Realm’s God Monarchs attacked him; Li Yuan chose to flee toward the nearby Abyssal Rift rather than leave Beichen Star.
• After enduring the pursuit until his Divine Heart was badly cracked, Li Yuan plunged into the Abyssal Rift and was swallowed by its devouring force.

Li Yuan survived the ambush by entering the Abyssal Rift, where he faced its first deadly hazard while learning that a trial left by God Emperor Beihe lay deeper within. As the factions assumed he was dead and prepared for retaliation, a Nine Star Pulse True God named Heavenly Ice began ascending to Celestial Godhood on Fengyan Star.

• God Monarch Donghai and the three God Kings concluded that Li Yuan had died in the Abyssal Rift, while the rival factions dissolved their alliance and the Chaos Divine Court prepared reprisals.
• Li Yuan's avatar vanished from the Heart Dream Divine Realm, but God King Dongmang revealed to God King Xinjie that Li Yuan's true body had been concealed in the Imperial Palace and the fallen body was a clone.
• God King Dongmang told Li Yuan about the Abyssal Rift's dangers and warned him to proceed slowly and beware of a possible Karmic Curse Kill in God Emperor Beihe's trial.
• Li Yuan endured the Rift's Corrosive Magma as its immense suction dragged him deeper, while Dongmang promised to protect Li Yuan's home and Divine Kingdom.
• News of Li Yuan's supposed death spread across Beichen Star and the Mohe Star Domain, but Celestial God Xuanyang urged Li Yuan's followers to keep order and wait for his return.
• On Fengyan Star, True God Heavenly Ice triggered a powerful Law of Wind fluctuation as she began advancing to Celestial Godhood.

After Liu Bing became a Celestial God, she refused God Monarch Huoye’s proposal, received God King Fengyan’s support, and learned from Li Yuan that God King Dongmang would protect Xinhuo Divine Kingdom. Meanwhile, Li Yuan survived the Abyssal Rift’s four tribulations but was immediately ordered to reach the All Saints Stone Wall within fifteen minutes or die.

• Liu Bing’s breakthrough drew attention from the Divine Domain’s major powers, while God King Xueye waited for her to leave the Divine Domain so he could target her.
• God Monarch Huoye proposed becoming Dao companions with Liu Bing, but she rejected him and told God King Fengyan that Xinhuo Divine Kingdom’s lordship belonged to Li Yuan or True God Dongji.
• God King Fengyan gave Liu Bing a pair of God King Weapons and battle armor, and Liu Bing warned God Monarch Huoye not to raise the proposal again.
• Liu Bing met Li Yuan in the Heart Dream Divine Realm, where he assured her he was alive, arranged protection for Xinhuo Divine Kingdom, and transferred her 5 quadrillion Mind Dream Coins.
• Li Yuan endured the Abyssal Rift’s four tribulations for more than six months and survived the Fire Cold Desire Tribulation, though his divine body, divine heart, and armor were badly damaged.
• A voice ordered Li Yuan to reach the All Saints Stone Wall within fifteen minutes or die.

Li Yuan reached the All Saints Stone Wall and was drawn into its vision of an Eternal being, but Elder Mu awakened him before the wall could assimilate him. After Li Yuan swore an Eternal Oath, Elder Mu explained that the site was a trial ground and warned that, as an outsider to the Honghe Cosmic Alliance, Li Yuan would die if he failed.

• Li Yuan sprinted through the dangerous depths and arrived in a vast palace before the All Saints Stone Wall.
• The stone wall immersed Li Yuan in a vision of more than ten thousand Dao-opening beings worshiping an Eternal figure, revealing a power he understood as the source of Wandao.
• Elder Mu awakened Li Yuan and explained that his will had resonated with five Quasi-Saints in the wall, giving him at least five possible choices for opening his Eternal Dao.
• Li Yuan swore upon the Eternal River not to reveal anything about the place.
• Elder Mu told Li Yuan that the site was a trial ground for Ten Star Pulse Celestial Gods of the Honghe Cosmic Alliance and said Li Yuan would almost certainly die if he failed.

Li Yuan learned that he had passed the Four Minor Calamities and faced the All Saints Stone Wall as his second trial, with a hundred years to open a Dao or undergo the Samsara Tribulation. He studied five quasi-saints whose Daos resonated with him, including one whose seemingly perfect soul-and-material fusion path drew his particular interest, and more than ten years passed.

• Elder Mu explained that the Four Minor Calamities had been Li Yuan's first trial and that the All Saints Stone Wall was the second.
• Elder Mu told Li Yuan he could enter the third trial by opening a Dao as a Celestial God or surviving the Samsara Tribulation, and gave him a hundred years to cultivate first.
• Li Yuan recovered on the Jade Platform and entered the All Saints Stone Wall while keeping his consciousness clear.
• Li Yuan found the five quasi-saints whose Dao-rhymes had resonated with him: experts of Heart Mist Dao, World Dao, Dao of Life, a destructive or slaughtering Dao, and a seemingly perfect soul-and-material fusion Dao.
• Li Yuan began studying the five experts' Daos, and more than ten years passed.

Li Yuan failed to find a quick way through the trial on Beichen Star, but Elder Mu granted him two hundred years to study the All Saints Stone Wall. Over the following decades, Li Yuan advanced greatly in the Law of Space and the Huanxin Divine Canon, yet still lacked the Mind True Realm needed to control the Ancient Cosmic Realm.

• Li Yuan admitted to Elder Mu that he was a True God, but Elder Mu kept the trial requirements unchanged and granted him two hundred years to comprehend the All Saints Stone Wall.
• God King Xinjie and God King Dongmang discussed Ganyu’s attacks and the deaths of Chaos Divine Court god monarchs, while Dongmang considered striking Ziwu Cosmic Realm after Ganyu left Beichen Star.
• Li Yuan used the All Saints Stone Wall’s Eternal Dao Rhyme to deepen his grasp of the Law of Space and, after more than a hundred years, thoroughly comprehended Void and Reality of Space.
• Li Yuan’s soul and Mind Void Realm grew stronger, but he could not transform it into a Mind True Realm; Senior Dream advised him to strengthen its root through the power of the mind.
• Li Yuan trained his will and studied soul cultivation while his Source Body remained at the All Saints Stone Wall, eventually mastering the Seventh Form of the Huanxin Divine Canon and reaching a level comparable to top God Monarchs.
