Chapter Summaries

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.
• Jiemie and the others parted ways outside Daofall Land, eager to return to their worlds and enter seclusion.
• The six True Saints prepared to study Yuan Chu’s gray True Saint Dao Fruit and seek a path to transcendence.
• More than a hundred beings emerged from Yuan Chu’s inner world, and the True Saints identified Pangu and Zhou Ming as two powerful cultivators who had Proved Dao by Force.

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.

• Qing Yang and Purple Moon led Zhou Ming through the Luofu Realm’s boundary, and his early-stage Sage aura alerted the realm’s powerful figures.
• Cang Yun sensed Qing Yang and Purple Moon’s return and learned that an unfamiliar early-stage Sage had accompanied them.
• Ming Xue met Cang Yun, and the two went to confront the newcomers to protect the realm’s limited Fortune and resources.
• Cang Yun and Ming Xue blocked Zhou Ming, Qing Yang, and Purple Moon, then demanded to know where Zhou Ming came from.
• 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.
• The five Sages sided with Cang Yun and Ming Xue, but Zhou Ming declared that he would stay and challenged them to stop him.
• Cang Yun attacked Zhou Ming, who killed him and his True Spirit with a single punch.
• Purple Moon revealed that Zhou Ming had also slain Black Mystery and four other Sages, and the remaining Sages accepted his control of the Luofu Realm.
• Zhou Ming assigned mundane affairs to Qing Yang and Purple Moon, then left with them for Azure Moon Pavilion while Purple Moon announced that the realm’s Fortune would be redistributed.

Zhou Ming entered seclusion at Azure Moon Pavilion while Qing Yang and Purple Moon summoned the Luofu Realm's Sages to demand most of their Fortune for him. Purple Moon demanded an even larger share from Ming Xue and accused him of helping Cang Yun leak her and Qing Yang's whereabouts to Black Mystery, turning the other Sages against him.

• Zhou Ming accepted Azure Moon Pavilion's forbidden ground for seclusion, and Qing Yang and Purple Moon sealed off the back mountain.
• Qing Yang and Purple Moon decided to summon the Luofu Realm's Sages and demand Fortune to support Zhou Ming's cultivation.
• The six remaining Sages came to Azure Moon Pavilion after receiving Purple Moon and Qing Yang's summons.
• Purple Moon demanded that five Sages surrender seventy percent of their Fortune and that Ming Xue surrender eighty percent.
• Ming Xue protested the higher demand, and Purple Moon accused him and Cang Yun of revealing her and Qing Yang's whereabouts to Black Mystery.
• The other Sages grew wary of Ming Xue and stepped away from him.

Purple Moon forced Ming Xue and five other powerful cultivators to surrender most of their Fortune to Azure Moon Pavilion, then sent the collected Fortune to Zhou Ming. Absorbing it, Zhou Ming felt the restrictions on his Dao of Strength laws loosen and sensed the Hongmeng universe beginning to acknowledge him.

• Ming Xue denied responsibility for Cang Yun's death, but Qing Yang and Purple Moon held him accountable and demanded his Fortune.
• Ling Xu, Feng Gu, Iron Mountain, Flying Feather, and Mystic Light tried to bargain, but Purple Moon threatened to summon Zhou Ming, and they agreed to surrender seventy percent of their Fortune.
• Ming Xue agreed to give up eighty percent, and all six stripped Fortune Origin from their bodies for Purple Moon to collect.
• Purple Moon promised to let past grudges go if the six behaved themselves, and they left Azure Moon Pavilion after agreeing not to cause trouble.
• Purple Moon and Qing Yang carried the collected Fortune to Zhou Ming's cave abode, where an array transported it inside.
• Zhou Ming absorbed the Fortune and felt his suppressed Dao of Strength laws move more smoothly, the shackles loosen, and the Hongmeng universe acknowledge him.

Zhou Ming used Luofu Realm Destiny to weaken the world’s rejection of his laws, though he needed far more to regain his full strength. Meanwhile, Ming Xue recruited Ling Xu to gather other cultivators and discuss a way to overcome their cultivation stagnation without confronting Zhou Ming directly.

• Zhou Ming found that Destiny helped his laws merge with the Hongmeng Universe, but the Luofu Realm held too little Destiny for him to recover quickly.
• Ming Xue lamented that surrendering most of his Destiny had stalled his cultivation and decided to seek allies against the situation.
• Ming Xue traveled to Ling Xu Dojo and persuaded the wary Ling Xu that they should discuss a solution together.
• Ling Xu sent message talismans to summon Feng Gu, Iron Mountain, and others while warning Ming Xue that he would not join a plan that sent them to their deaths.

Ming Xue gathered Ling Xu and the other Sages and proposed luring a stronger Hunyuan Taiji Realm cultivator to Luofu Realm to kill Zhou Ming. The group agreed to gamble on the plan, and Ming Xue said he would contact the great figure.

• Feng Gu, Iron Mountain, Flying Feather, and Mystic Light arrived at Ling Xu's cave abode and reacted warily when they saw Ming Xue.
• Ming Xue asked the Sages whether they would accept losing most of their Destiny, while they argued that they could not defeat Zhou Ming themselves.
• Ming Xue proposed using his contacts to alert a stronger Hunyuan Taiji Realm figure to Zhou Ming's presence, offering Zhou Ming's Origin as a resource in exchange for the figure killing him.
• Ming Xue argued that the plan could let them reclaim their Destiny and take the Azure Moon Pavilion's Fortune after Zhou Ming's backer was gone.
• Iron Mountain, Flying Feather, Mystic Light, Feng Gu, and Ling Xu all agreed to join the gamble.
• Ming Xue told the group to return and wait while he contacted the powerful figure.

Qin Jue reported to Liu Yuan that a powerful stranger had appeared in the Luofu Realm and seized the Sages’ Fortune. Liu Yuan saw an opportunity to advance his cultivation, but withheld judgment because the stranger’s true strength was unknown.

• Qin Jue asked to see Liu Yuan and reported that Ming Xue had sent word of a Hunyuan Taiji expert in the Luofu Realm.
• Qin Jue explained that Ming Xue had described the stranger killing a peak Sage, suppressing the other Sages, and taking most of their Fortune.
• Liu Yuan considered the stranger’s Origin a chance to break through from Hunyuan Taiji late stage.
• Qin Jue urged Liu Yuan to seize the opportunity, but Liu Yuan warned that the stranger might be stronger than early stage and began considering the risk.
