Chapter Summaries

The Technological Civilizations rapidly expanded Xia Tian into a Crystal Wall universe, while its inhabitants developed new cultivation realms and grew wary of the Heavenly Dao’s control over their Rule Blueprints. They launched a plan to kill Xia Tian and replace it with a Heavenly Dao of their own, and Li Qing decided to secretly help them.

• Li Qing watched the factions charge into the universe to attack Xia Tian and decided to secretly give them a push.

The Crystal Wall Worlds began the Heaven Slaughter Plan against Xia Tian, while Gab sought to improve his aptitude and summoned Tang Shrimp for help. Tang Shrimp promised to think of a method, leaving Gab’s ambition to dominate the era unresolved.

• The Crystal Wall Worlds declared war on Xia Tian and began trying to seize the position of the Second Generation Heavenly Dao.
• Gab explained how the First Generation Heavenly Dao had lost control of its Crystal Wall descendants, while factions and human supporters battled to shape the next Cosmic Era.

• Gab asked Tang Shrimp how to improve his aptitude, and Tang Shrimp promised to think of a solution.

Eight years later, Li Qing’s Dark Matter Dao Artifact System strengthened Gab’s Great Earth God System, and he altered Elise’s past to resurrect her in the present with a portion of his Life authority. He sent her into the Slaughter God System to stir up conflict, leaving her newly empowered in the Ancestral Blade Realm.

• Tang Xia perfected Enlightenment Artifacts, letting their corpses temporarily improve the aptitude of those who wore them, and Gab’s Great Earth God System grew stronger.

• Elise awoke in the Ancestral Blade Realm with memories and abilities from her former life, and Li Qing urged her to keep killing and throw the world into chaos.

Elise entered a vast prehistoric universe and grew stronger through slaughter, drawing the Power Council’s attention. After she stole control of a Divine Realm and defeated its defenders, the council offered her a permanent seat and a share of the Heavenly Dao, but she refused.

Elise slaughtered her way through rival god systems, then built the Abyss God Domain and expanded her rule across the Main Universe while studying the Life authority. Five hundred years later, with her territory covering more than half the universe, she prepared to conquer the Earth God faction ruled by Gab.

• Elise swept across the Wind Smoke God System and the Xini God System, while rival factions debated how to contain her and chose to raise younger fighters instead of confronting her themselves.
• After three years establishing her divine kingdom, Elise searched for Fibber, Thunder Ancient God, and Ancient God of Light, but could not find their true bodies.

• Over the next five hundred years, Elise expanded her rule across more than half the universe and prepared to attack Gab's Earth God faction for its research artifacts and divine artifacts.

Elise seized control of the Heavenly Dao and changed the universe by writing trust and its consequences into the laws of life, forcing its inhabitants to reckon with betrayal. The chapter leaves her rule remembered in a distant age as the First Mother on Earth, while the Outer Gods and their allies still threatened her.

• Elise brought Gab and Tang Xia under her command and established the Life God system across her Crystal Wall territory.
• By the Cloud Dragon Era year 4971, Elise ruled seven-tenths of the universe while her enemies retreated and prepared powerful Level Two Main Gods to defeat her.
• Elise visited Xia Tian and proposed adding a new rule to the universe; three years later, she declared herself Life Heavenly Dao and gave living beings credibility, causing broken promises to produce Inner Demons and Karmic Obstacles.
• Gab and Tang Xia realized Elise's new law would restrain traitors and bind the universe's inhabitants to her resistance against the Outer Gods.
• In a distant age, a man told a child that Elise had been the First Mother on Earth, who slew the Fathers of the previous universe.

Elise used her control over life to establish karmic consequences and Dao Hearts, winning the people’s allegiance and uniting the universe under her rule. She then sealed the passages beyond the heavens and challenged the Outer Gods and Power Council, vowing to kill the gods outside one day.

• Li Qing watched Elise’s actions as she introduced karma, retribution, and Dao Hearts, causing mass killers to suffer consequences for their crimes.
• Elise demanded the gods submit to her; after most refused, she hunted down the rebels with help from loyal followers and the people who reported their locations.
• Elise captured the Mud God and tortured him, alarming the prehistoric Technology System Outer Gods, who recognized that her new laws had united the universe against them.
• By the year 7003 of the Cloud Dragon Era, Elise had won the people’s devotion, ruled all of the universe’s territory, and announced that she would seal its external passages.
• At the universe’s border, Elise challenged the Outer Gods and the Power Council to abandon their conflict and spare the newborn children before leaving with a vow to kill the gods outside.

Elise’s effort to turn the Power Council against the Dark Matter Alliance split its leaders, and infiltrators launched a coup to stop them from defecting. Luo Xu escaped into Elise’s universe with the council’s inheritances, where Elise welcomed him as proof that a merciful father still existed.

• Luo Xu urged the Power Council’s leaders to support Elise and make her chairwoman, arguing that she could protect the universe from the Dark Matter Alliance.
• The councilors debated entering Elise’s universe despite the danger, then several infiltrators attacked and revealed that one-third of the higher-ups had defected to the Dark Matter Alliance.
• Luo Xu’s master and other councilors passed their inheritances to him and sent him toward the universe as Dark Matter Alliance forces surrounded them.
• Luo Xu fled toward the Main Universe while councilors sacrificed themselves to cover his escape, and the battle shook the Crystal Wall Worlds.
• Luo Xu entered through the opened void, and Elise welcomed him, saying the world had not disappointed her because a merciful father still existed.

After Luo Xu defected to Elise with the Power Council’s surviving blueprints and knowledge, she established the Life Divine Dynasty to protect the universe. Learning that matter formed the foundation of every authority—and that combining authorities could create new rules—Elise considered using composite blueprints to strengthen her followers and herself.

• Luo Xu brought Elise seven complete Second-level Rule Authority Blueprints and other fragments after the Power Council was suppressed, then pledged allegiance to her.
• Elise made Luo Xu an inspector and founded the Life Divine Dynasty, tasking it with defending the universe from invaders and demons.
• Over thirty years, Elise’s dynasty gained seven Main God Level experts who became Crystal Wall Giant Gods guarding the nation.
• Luo Xu explained that matter was a foundational component of all authorities and that combining authorities could create new rules.
• Elise realized she could combine life, matter, and other authorities to develop Variant Life Ancient Gods and increase her power.

Elise learned that she could combine Authority blueprints and chose to fuse Life and Flame to complete her Authority. Li Qing then decided to study a Life and Time fusion in seclusion while the threat outside remained unresolved.

• Luo Xu advised Elise to use the complete Flame Blueprint to supplement her incomplete Life Blueprint, and she accepted his suggestion.
• Elise planned to become a Life Fire Ancient God whose Karmic Fire would punish evildoers and strengthen order in her dynasty.
• Li Qing discovered that the blueprints he had obtained represented the resources of seven Level Two Gods and recognized the danger posed by the 2.8 billion people outside.
• Li Qing began studying the blueprints and planned to combine his Life and Time Authorities into a new composite Authority.
• Li Qing decided to enter seclusion in the Lesser Thousand World, where the Ancient Gods outside could not reach him.

Li Qing studied the complete Flame authority and spent a century hiding in Pingyun City while slowly attempting to fuse the Life and Time blueprints. Elise attained the universe’s karma and Karmic Fire, then reshaped the universe by creating a Crystal Wall Ancient Tree, while Li Qing reflected on how it echoed the ancient tree of his memories.

• Li Qing studied the complete Flame authority, observed the seven giant gods, and hid as an imperial Attendant in Pingyun City to research safely.
• After learning that Elise was preparing to attain the Dao, Li Qing waited for her to fuse life and flame so he could learn from her experience.
• Elise completed her fusion as a Life Fire Ancient God, and Li Qing later managed an initial fusion of the incomplete Life and Time blueprints using his dependents’ abilities.
• Elise announced that she had attained the universe’s karma and Karmic Fire, changing the Cosmic Membrane’s rules and stirring excitement across the universe.
• Elise transformed the universe’s layout and planted a Crystal Wall Ancient Tree above the Crystal Wall Worlds to oversee them.
• Li Qing compared Elise’s tree to the Elven Ancient Tree and recalled Atabia, wondering whether the giant had killed an unfilial son rather than committed Kill Father.

Over ten thousand years, Elise centralized the universe under the Crystal Wall Ancient Tree and established a new cultivation system. As she celebrated the dynasty’s anniversary, the Dark Matter Alliance launched its invasion, and Elise rose to face its 2.8 billion soldiers alone.

• Li Qing listened as Lin Qing recounted the turmoil in their Lesser Thousand World and the changes Elise had made across the universe.

• The Dark Matter Alliance opened passages into the universe, revealing that its mechs and fleets had transformed into fleshly life and beginning a massive invasion.
• Elise rose from her throne and commanded the Origin Ancient Tree to meet the attacking 2.8 billion soldiers alone.

Li Qing and the others watched as invading Outer Demons stole divine authority across the universe, while Elise faced a vastly larger army of usurping Ancient Gods. Outnumbered and falling behind, Elise unleashed a flame-and-life ability that drained her enemies’ aptitude and raised her own combat ability, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Outer Demons invaded the Crystal Wall Worlds and began stealing divine authority with blueprints they had accumulated over countless ages.
• Min Shan explained that composite blueprints could resist theft, but she feared the newly empowered Ancient Gods would overwhelm Elise by sheer numbers.
• Elise transformed into a cosmic fairy and fought thirty thousand Ancient Gods after they used a divine-kingdom authority extender to bring their power to her.
• The attackers’ formation gradually drove Elise onto the defensive, despite her greater strength as a Level One God.
• Elise unleashed a flame-and-life ability that drained the aptitude of nearby enemies and increased her own Combat Aptitude, which her opponents identified as a group-devouring skill.

• Elise's cosmic body continued expanding and drove the surrounding gods back as the multiverse watched.
• On the eighth day, Elise's body exploded, killing thirty thousand gods and affecting tens of millions of people.
• Xia Tian cried that he would follow Elise, and the worlds mourned as the God King fell and crystalline rain descended.

After Elise died resisting the invaders, they took control of the universe and gradually reshaped its society while erasing her legacy. Li Qing studied Elise’s life authority and sensed its dangerous limits just as the new rulers began to act, prompting him to prepare to confront them.

• Elise died, and her collapse returned the lives within her to the source while inspiring many survivors to resist the invaders.
• Li Qing decided to bide his time and find a way to exhaust the invaders’ reserve Cosmic Membranes before challenging them.
• The invaders pacified the small worlds, rebuilt a Crystal Wall Origin Ancient Tree, and established an unequal society with underground slums and spacious villas aboveground.
• Thirty years after Elise’s death, the invaders’ propaganda had caused most people to forget her, while Li Qing studied her ability to consume wisdom and Research Aptitude.
• Li Qing realized that growing aptitude beyond individual limits could create a collective Heaven that lost its original self, then sensed the rulers beginning to act and prepared to meet them.

Li Qing overheard the Rule Ancient Gods plan to inscribe their blueprints into the Crystal Wall, while they discovered Elise’s posthumous Heart Fire could resurrect her through the anger of All Living Beings. The Ancient Gods activated an Epoch-level Mecha to travel back and sever her contingency, and Li Qing decided to follow it.

• Li Qing listened through the Crystal Wall Ancient Tree as the Rule Ancient Gods prepared to inscribe most of their blueprints into it, giving him a chance to learn their foundations.
• The Ancient Gods learned that Elise had turned herself into Heart Fire, a concept that could spread among All Living Beings and resurrect her if the people’s fury ignited.
• The Ancient Gods debated killing the living beings or destroying the Crystal Wall Worlds, but feared provoking widespread resistance and Elise’s return.
• The Ancient Gods voted to deploy an Epoch-level Mecha and travel back to the moment Elise died to cut off the source of her Heart Fire.
• Li Qing realized the time-traveling Mecha threatened Elise’s plan and decided to follow it into the past.

White Shuttle traveled back from the future to warn the Power Council that Elise planned to fake her death and hide her soul among all living beings. Before Elise died, she called for a mysterious figure from prehistory, who arrived and declared that this was the final stop of her life.

• White Shuttle arrived on the battlefield from the future and told the Power Council that Elise would fake her death and threaten humanity by hiding within all living beings.
• Elise recognized White Shuttle and admitted that she had planned to fake her death, but said she still had one chance if she could summon someone from prehistory.
• Elise sent a message to the mysterious person, warning them to use their time to defeat the one interfering with established history.
• The Power Council realized that Elise might have come from the future and feared that another traveler could change history and erase future heroes.
• A white-robed figure emerged from the flow of time and told the people of the era that this was the final stop of her life.

Li Qing, under the name Meng Yi, returned through time to save Elise from the forces trying to kill her. Surrounded by the Power Council, the Dark Matter Alliance, and their armies, Meng Yi prepared to unleash her own power as the battle escalated.

• Li Qing's true body fled through the small universe, then he returned through time because Elise could not truly die without harming him.
• White Shuttle confronted Meng Yi, who calmly declared that Elise could not die and acknowledged that she had come back knowing she might perish.
• The Power Council and Dark Matter Alliance debated Meng Yi's time-travel abilities and concluded that she likely possessed only the Past and Present aspects of the time system.
• A standing councilor ordered an attack, and countless mecha, gods, and other powerful beings surrounded Meng Yi and Elise.
• Tangxia, Luo Xu, Gab, and the others watched in shock as the battle devastated the All Heavens World and damaged the universe's disposable membrane.
• White Shuttle demanded Meng Yi surrender, but she revealed that she possessed life authority too and began unleashing its power.

Li Qing, as the God of Dream Robe, absorbed the Life Origin and aptitude of the battlefield’s prodigies, then used time and life powers to create an evolving army. He accused the prehistoric factions of future atrocities, sowing suspicion as Elise recognized the name Knuckle and connected him to Nokron.

• Li Qing and the God of Dream Robe drained the surrounding soldiers, raising Li Qing’s aptitudes to their limits before he stopped absorbing more.
• The God of Dream Robe converted stolen talent into intelligent lifeforms, accelerated their growth, and sent the resulting army to counterattack.
• Bai Shuo asked why the God of Dream Robe would risk death to save Elise, and Li Qing accused the prehistoric factions of committing horrific crimes in the future.
• The Power Council and Dark Matter Alliance members rejected the accusations but began suspecting each other, while Li Qing named Knuckle as a future destroyer.
• Elise recognized Knuckle as Nokron, the future ruler of the Abyss World, and an observer noticed her fear and hostility toward him.
• The God of Dream Robe declared that karmic backlash would kill her and continued creating troops to kill as many enemies as possible.

Dream Yi sacrificed herself to delay Bai Suo and preserve Elise’s legacy, while Li Qing escaped the battle and returned thirty years later. He found that changing the past had reshaped the present: Elise still lived in people’s hearts, but his friend Lin Qing had died after joining the rebellion.

• Dream Yi summoned civilization powerhouses to fight the mecha armies, denounced the councilors, and drew their attacks while Elise admired her.
• Bai Suo altered the universe’s energy costs, accelerating Li Qing’s exhaustion, but Li Qing escaped through the Timeline.
