• Blood Butcher worried that Wu, as That One’s inheritor, would claim everything in the Land of Opportunity, but Jiemie and Kongxuan said the Chaos Sea’s will had already put the matter beyond their control.
• Xu Yuan sent Blood Butcher to heal, while the four Unity Realm powerhouses remained in the secret chamber and lamented that their efforts might come to nothing.
• Kongxuan argued that That One would not give Wu the True Saint Dao Fruit because it could bind him to the failed path That One had followed.

After the battle over the Dao Rhythm, Cang Xuan brought Zhou Ming and Wu to Pangu to report what the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub had revealed about the world beyond the Chaos Sea.

After recovering, Jiemie and the others fused the nine Dao Rhythms, causing the Nine Great Chaos to merge and the three thousand Law Secret Realms to converge on the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos. Pangu gathered the Eternal Dao Realm’s experts and led them toward the disturbance, as both groups headed for the place where That One’s Inheritance Land was about to appear.

The Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos opened after all three thousand Law Secret Realms merged, and the Chaos Sea Will allowed every Great Dao Realm expert to enter. Jiemie led the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub inside first, and Pangu ordered the Eternal Dao Realm to follow close behind.

• The Abyssal Sea Divine Hub and Pangu's Eternal Dao Realm arrived at the light cocoon, but both sides held back from fighting.

After the Outsiders went inside, the Chaos Sea’s will announced that those in the Unity Realm could freely leave the Chaos Sea, giving Pangu’s people new hope.

As the Great Dao Realm experts scattered to cultivate, Wu realized the Laws in the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos could not help him advance his Martial Dao. A mysterious, ancient voice then took Wu, Pangu, and Zhou Ming to an empty hall, where they faced an inscrutable stone statue.

• Pangu sent the experts to search for Law-rich regions in the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos and cultivate toward the Unity Realm.
• Zhou Ming learned that Wu could not benefit from the realm’s Laws, and Wu joked that he might someday refine the Chaos Sea into his inner world.

• Wu, Pangu, and Zhou Ming arrived in an empty hall and saw a stone statue whose face they could not clearly perceive.

Zhou Ming, Pangu, and Wu met Yuan Chu, who revealed that he was the Chaos Sea Will and explained the cultivation realms beyond their world. Yuan Chu clarified that his Dao had perished but he had not died, then began explaining how Great Dao Jiemie allowed Da Luo True Realm cultivators to be reborn.

• A phantom emerged from the stone statue and introduced himself as Yuan Chu, also known as the Chaos Sea Will.
• Yuan Chu revealed that the Chaos Sea was originally the world within his body, and Zhou Ming recognized him as the Martial Dao True Saint mentioned by the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub.
• Yuan Chu explained that his Dao had perished, but he himself had not, and said he had brought the three there to answer their questions.
• Yuan Chu described the outside world's ranks: False Saint, Da Luo True Realm, True Saint, and Transcendence Realm.
• Yuan Chu explained that Great Dao Jiemie was the scattering and slumber of a Da Luo True Realm cultivator's Origin, from which they could be reborn if an opportunity arose.

Yuan Chu explained why his failed attempt at the Transcendence Realm prevented him from reviving and recounted the outside world’s Primordial Wilderness Epoch. He revealed that he had recreated its world-merging process through Pangu and the Eternal Dao Realm, but the experiment failed to uncover the secret of transcendence.

• Yuan Chu told Zhou Ming, Pangu, and Wu that reviving after his failed Transcendence breakthrough would trigger the same backlash and cause his Dao to fall again.
• Wu Ji said that only one person, Pan, had ever reached the Transcendence Realm, and that Pan had vanished after succeeding.
• Yuan Chu described how Pan founded the first Primordial World, which collapsed after Pan’s disappearance and ended the Primordial Wilderness Epoch.
• Yuan Chu revealed that he had named Pangu and guided him to create a world, then arranged for other worlds to merge into the Eternal Dao Realm as a deliberate experiment.
• Yuan Chu admitted that observing Pangu and the Eternal Dao Realm had not revealed how to transcend, then explained that the Primordial World was destroyed in a war among True Saints.
• Yuan Chu left Zhou Ming, Pangu, and Wu wondering what the True Saints had fought over when they shattered the world they had built.

Yuan Chu explained that Pangu had left something connected to transcendence in the Primordial World, prompting the True Saints to shatter it in search of the secret. After nine True Saints and Yuan Chu later failed to transcend at Daofall Land, Yuan Chu traced the outside world's history from the Age of Turmoil to the current Chaos Universe Epoch.

• Yuan Chu revealed that Pangu had returned to the Primordial World after transcending and left behind something the True Saints believed could aid their own breakthroughs.
• Yuan Chu said the True Saints shattered the Primordial World but found nothing, then searched Pangu's breakthrough site and found no clues there either.
• Nine True Saints secluded themselves at the site and all fell to the Dao while attempting to transcend, giving the place the name Daofall Land.
• Yuan Chu revealed that he too had failed to transcend at Daofall Land and fallen to the Dao.
• Pangu, Wu, and Zhou Ming said they understood why the True Saints had risked their lives, and Yuan Chu praised the firmness of their Dao hearts.
• Yuan Chu described the Age of Turmoil after the Primordial World's shattering and recounted his origins and the later eras leading to the Chaos Universe Epoch.

Yuan Chu explained that forty-nine True Saints had failed to reach the Transcendence Realm and shared their insights to help a future cultivator succeed, giving fallen True Saints like him a chance to revive. Zhou Ming then asked how he had entered Yuan Chu’s inner world from the outside, and the chapter left the question unanswered.

• Yuan Chu explained that the outside world had entered the Chaos Universe Epoch and that True Saints had sent Abyssal Sea Divine Hub cultivators to obtain his breakthrough insights.
• Yuan Chu revealed that forty-nine True Saints, including himself, had failed to reach the Transcendence Realm, and that they shared their experiences to help someone else succeed.
• Yuan Chu said the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub cultivators had to earn his insights through their trials so their patrons would value them and prove worthy of receiving them.
• Zhou Ming reasoned that his homeland had been in the outside world and asked Yuan Chu how an ordinary mortal with a tiny system had entered the True Saint’s inner world.

Yuan Chu revealed that he brought Zhou Ming from a surviving fragment of the Primordial World to serve as an outsider variable in his search for a path to Transcendence. He explained that Zhou Ming’s home planet was that fragment and that its Pangu legends referred to Pan, but the reason he chose Zhou Ming remained unanswered.

• Yuan Chu told Zhou Ming that he had brought him from the outside world to test whether an outsider could discover a new path to proving the Dao.
• Yuan Chu explained that he chose a descendant from the last surviving fragment of the Primordial World, and that Zhou Ming’s planet was that fragment.
• Yuan Chu said he had randomly selected a system from those deployed by the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub, modified it, and given it to Zhou Ming.
• Zhou Ming questioned why his planet’s myths differed from Yuan Chu’s account, and Yuan Chu explained that Pan’s name had become Pangu through generations of retelling and that later history had changed as the Primordial World grew.
• Yuan Chu confirmed that Zhou Ming’s home planet was a fragment of the world Pan had created, and Zhou Ming asked why Yuan Chu had selected him among billions of people.

Yuan Chu explained that Zhou Ming had been brought to the Chaos Sea by chance and revealed that he had secretly guided Wu toward the Martial Dao without teaching him Yuan Chu’s failed path. He offered Wu the Chaos Sea to devour, leaving Wu with a vast resource for advancing his Martial Dao.

• Yuan Chu told Zhou Ming that the system had chosen him at random, while Pangu listened and accepted what he learned about the Chaos Sea.
• Yuan Chu revealed that he had secretly guided Wu toward creating the Martial Dao, but had left Wu to develop the path on his own because Yuan Chu’s own Martial Dao had failed to reach Transcendence.
• Wu thanked Yuan Chu for his guidance and vowed to keep walking the difficult, solitary Martial Dao path himself.
• Yuan Chu offered Wu the Chaos Sea to devour and merge into the world within his body, giving him a way to accelerate his cultivation.
• Wu accepted the gift, and Yuan Chu said he hoped Wu would forge a new Martial Dao and perhaps create a Heavenly Great Dao.
• Zhou Ming, Pangu, and Wu said they had no further questions after Yuan Chu answered their doubts.

Yuan Chu sent Zhou Ming, Pangu, and Wu into the Dao Palace trials, offering Zhou Ming a path to the Unity Realm and promising to seal the Chaos Sea inside Wu after the others left. He revealed that his help was an investment in future attempts to reach Transcendence, then watched the trials begin and judged the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub contestants.

• Yuan Chu told Wu that he would turn the Chaos Sea into a seed and seal it inside Wu after everyone else had left.
• Zhou Ming asked to return to the Origin Realm of Ten Thousand Daos to cultivate, but Yuan Chu offered him a Dao Palace trial that would bring him to the Unity Realm if he passed.
• Yuan Chu told Zhou Ming, Pangu, and Wu that he was investing in them and hoped one of them might reach Transcendence and help him; the three vowed to keep pursuing cultivation and repay his kindness.
• Yuan Chu sent Zhou Ming, Pangu, and Wu into separate Dao Palace trials and watched them begin.
• Yuan Chu observed that Blood Butcher, Jue Ying, and the others were trapped, while Jiemie, Kongxuan, Wuwang, and Xu Yuan struggled onward; he expected the four Unity Realm cultivators to pass and carry his insights to other True Saints.

Jiemie and the others completed the trial in Yuan Chu’s inheritance palace and recovered his True Saint Dao Fruit. After Yuan Chu sent them out of the Chaos Sea, the six True Saints at Daofall Land took possession of the group and inspected the Dao Fruit.

• Yuan Chu lamented that transcendence was difficult, then his phantom disappeared from the inheritance palace.
• Jiemie, Kongxuan, Wuwang, and Xu Yuan emerged from the trial and found the True Saint Dao Fruit.
• Yuan Chu sent the Dao Fruit to Jiemie and expelled the Abyssal Sea Divine Hub members from the Chaos Sea.
• The six True Saints waiting at Daofall Land forcibly brought Jiemie and the others before them.
• Jiemie presented Yuan Chu’s Dao Fruit to the True Saints, and the central True Saint approved.

Jiemie and the others received the six True Saints’ cultivation insights as payment for their mission and were expelled from Daofall Land. The True Saints then saw more than a hundred beings escape from Yuan Chu’s inner world and recognized Pangu and Zhou Ming as promising cultivators who had Proved Dao by Force.

• The True Saint in the center gave Jiemie, Kongxuan, and the others spheres containing traces of the True Saints’ cultivation insights.
• The center True Saint declared their Karma settled and sent Jiemie and the others out of Daofall Land.

After leaving True Saint Yuan Chu’s inner world, Zhou Ming found that the Hongmeng Universe’s laws suppressed his strength until his own laws could fuse with them. He hid in an asteroid belt to cultivate, beginning a long period of hibernation while Pangu, Taiyi, and the others also sought shelter.

• The True Saints dismissed the newly arrived cultivators as unworthy of attention and left Daofall Land with Yuan Chu’s Dao Fruit.
• Zhou Ming emerged in the Chaos Void, tested his strength, and discovered that his laws were sluggish and could wield only Pseudo-Saint-level power.
• Zhou Ming recalled Yuan Chu’s warning that he had to integrate his laws with the Hongmeng Universe before regaining his strength, and decided to stay hidden until then.
• Pangu, Taiyi, and the others scattered through the Chaos Void, facing the same suppression and adapting to the new laws.
• Zhou Ming found a concealed asteroid belt, set up simple concealment formations, and began cultivating the fusion of his laws.

Zhou Ming’s seclusion was interrupted when a battle destroyed his asteroid, forcing him to kill Black Mystery and his pursuers. Qing Yang and Purple Moon thanked him for saving their lives, while mistaking him for a Hunyuan Taiji expert.

• Zhou Ming sensed Black Mystery and four followers pursuing Qing Yang and Purple Moon, but chose not to intervene.
• Black Mystery’s attack shattered Zhou Ming’s asteroid, and he emerged as Qing Yang and Purple Moon warned him to flee.
• Withered Wood charged Zhou Ming and was destroyed by a single punch, revealing that Zhou Ming’s physical strength remained formidable despite his suppressed laws.
• Black Mystery and his three remaining followers fled, but Zhou Ming killed all four with dark-golden streaks.
• Qing Yang and Purple Moon bowed to Zhou Ming and thanked him for saving them, believing he was a Hunyuan Taiji expert.

Purple Moon deduced that Zhou Ming was a worldless wanderer and invited him to her world, offering its resources and Fortune. She revealed that she and Qing Yang faced a conspiracy at home, where Sages were hunted not only for their Fortune but also as resources.

• Purple Moon asked Zhou Ming whether his original world had collapsed, and he confirmed that he was wandering Chaos without a world.
• Purple Moon invited Zhou Ming to cultivate in her world and explained that he could command its resources and Fortune.
• Zhou Ming questioned why the siblings wanted to hand their world to him, and Purple Moon admitted they hoped to use him as a protector against conspirators.
• Purple Moon explained that more than ten Sages lived in their world and that someone had betrayed the siblings' whereabouts to Black Mystery and the ambushers.
• Purple Moon revealed that the plotters sought her and Qing Yang themselves because a Sage's Origin, body, and laws were valuable resources.

Zhou Ming agreed to accompany Qing Yang and Purple Moon to the Luofu Realm in exchange for a secluded cultivation ground and the realm’s core Fortune. As they traveled, the siblings warned him that Cang Yun or Ming Xue had likely leaked their whereabouts to Black Mystery, and that the two peak Sages would oppose his arrival.

• Zhou Ming accepted Purple Moon’s offer to become the Luofu Realm’s protector while cultivating in seclusion there.
• Qing Yang and Purple Moon led Zhou Ming through the chaos void and explained that nine Sage cultivators divided the Luofu Realm’s Fortune among their factions.
• Zhou Ming interrupted Purple Moon’s account of the realm’s factions and demanded a secluded cultivation ground, promising to handle threats the siblings could not manage.
• Qing Yang and Purple Moon agreed to give Zhou Ming the finest cultivation ground and the core Fortune, and promised not to disturb his cultivation.
• Purple Moon and Qing Yang told Zhou Ming that Black Mystery had ambushed them after someone in the Luofu Realm leaked their secret journey.
• Qing Yang identified Cang Yun and Ming Xue as the realm’s two peak Sages, while Purple Moon suspected one of them had helped Black Mystery to seize the Azure Moon Pavilion’s Fortune.

Zhou Ming learned from Qing Yang and Purple Moon that worlds were remnants left by failed attempts to prove the Dao, and that False Saints often killed Dao Provers to seize their origins. After discovering that the Flowing Light Domain had no Da Luo True Realm experts, he decided it was safe to enter the Luofu Realm and continued there with his guides.

• Zhou Ming asked Qing Yang and Purple Moon how the Primordial Universe's worlds had formed, and they explained that Da Luo True Realm experts had opened them.
• Purple Moon clarified that most world-makers failed to prove the Dao because False Saints attacked them to seize their Great Dao Origin and newly opened worlds.
• Zhou Ming realized that the Hongmeng Universe's Dao tribulation came from other beings seeking to devour the Dao Prover.
• Qing Yang told Zhou Ming that the Hongmeng Universe contained countless great domains and that the Flowing Light Domain had no Da Luo True Realm experts.
• Zhou Ming concluded that the Luofu Realm was safe for him and set off toward it with Qing Yang and Purple Moon.

Zhou Ming entered the Luofu Realm with Qing Yang and Purple Moon, drawing the attention of its powerful cultivators. Cang Yun and Ming Xue confronted the group and threatened Zhou Ming, who prepared to establish his authority.

• Cang Yun insulted Zhou Ming and ordered the group to leave, but Zhou Ming stopped Purple Moon from answering and asked the two men if they were Cang Yun and Ming Xue.

Zhou Ming confronted the Luofu Realm’s Sages after they objected to his staying, then revealed overwhelming strength by killing Cang Yun with one punch. The remaining Sages submitted to him, and he placed Qing Yang and Purple Moon in charge of the realm’s affairs as they led him to Azure Moon Pavilion.

• Ming Xue and Cang Yun demanded that Zhou Ming leave the Luofu Realm, and Cang Yun summoned the other five Sages to support their claim.
