• Bai Suo and the others realized the space sea was a graveyard of fallen heroes from the Power Council and Dark Matter Alliance, and Bai Suo welcomed the plan to awaken them.

God King Bai Suo persuaded the 2.8 billion permanent councilors to sacrifice themselves as vessels for the wills of the dead Cosmic Membranes, awakening scientific giants from history to fight Nokron.

A century after the Destruction, newly ascended beings remembered the war while Li Qing reflected on the empty Ancient Tree and the loneliness of ruling an age.

• Min Shan arrived at the Origin Ancient Tree and accepted that she would become the ferryman to repay Nokron, aid her daughter, and serve the universe.
• The Origin Ancient Tree agreed to use Min Shan’s posthumous demonic transformation and will, then implanted authority in her so her corpse would become the ferryman.

• By Ancient Tree Era, Year 380, the universe had entered an Extraordinary Era in which powerful beings pursued immortality.

Li Qing shaped the Origin Ancient Tree and ancient dragon into the Ancient God of Light and Thunder Ancient God, then waited for their identities to settle. Eight hundred years later, Atabia, the Son of Heaven, and the others returned to the present and learned that Nokron did not remember Meng Yi, who had sacrificed herself to revive him.

• Li Qing influenced generations of the Origin Ancient Tree until it became the Ancient God of Light, and he shaped the ancient dragon into the Thunder Ancient God.

• The Son of Heaven and the others told Sylph, the Saint Dragon, and the rest about the cosmic cataclysm and Meng Yi's sacrifice to bring Nokron back.
• Sylvie asked Nokron about meeting Meng Yi, but Nokron said he did not remember her.
• The group understood that history had shifted onto a parallel timeline and quietly withdrew, grieving that Nokron had forgotten Meng Yi.

After discussing Dreamcoat’s and Elise’s roles in prehistory, Atabia and the others left Trade Ancient City to ascend to the Origin Continent. They reached the Upper Realm and learned that only eight hundred years had passed there since the Origin Ancient Tree formed, though billions of years had passed below.

• After reaching the Origin Continent, Black Star learned that the current year was the eight-hundredth year of the Ancient Tree Epoch.
• Atabia realized that billions of years had passed in the Lower Realm during those eight hundred Upper Realm years and warned everyone to be cautious.

Nokron parted from Atabia and the others, then wandered the Origin lands with Sylvie and Sylph as they began exploring the Bright Realm and learning how the Upper Realm worked. The newcomers discovered the continent’s structure and cultivation ranks, including that Ancient Gods had short lifespans and often used Above God Level beings as soldiers.

• Nokron urged Atabia and the others to forge their own path rather than inherit the names of Bai Suo and Dark Fan’s organizations, then left with Sylvie and Sylph.
• The Son of Heaven recounted Nokron’s long history and warned that his return could attract enemies if his whereabouts became known.
• Atabia, the Son of Heaven, Herodotus, and Black Star settled in the Bright Realm, studied its history, and investigated Thunder Ancient God and the Ancient God of Light.
• The group learned that the Origin Continent was formed from crystal-based Void Realms, with stronger ancient worlds buried beneath younger surface worlds.
• The group learned the universe’s cultivation ranks and lifespans, including that one-fold Ancient Gods lived about nine thousand years and Above God Level beings were often used as cannon fodder.

Black Star and the others learned that the Ancient Gods intended to curse those Above God Level with old age and death, while Atabia and Herodotus explained the Upper Realm’s lifespan crisis and the reincarnation method. Li Qing accepted that the Thunder Ancient God and Ancient God of Light’s erratic actions came from their changing generations, then wandered the continent with Sylvie hidden in his hair.

• Black Star decided to avoid becoming an Ancient God and return to the Lower Realm after the others died, but the Son of Heaven told him the Ancient Gods planned to impose mortality on those Above God Level.
• Black Star resolved to develop new drugs, while the group spent another week gathering information and grew more anxious about the Upper Realm.
• Atabia said the Origin Continent was in an early era focused on longevity, and Herodotus described God King Min Shan’s reincarnation method using an innate Rule Divine Artifact.
• The Son of Heaven noted that using the reincarnation method would require taking the innate Dao Artifacts from the two Celestial Phenomena, and Black Star warned that the Ancient Gods might already be organizing to seize them.
• Atabia and the others reasoned that the Ancient Dragon and Ancient Tree were chaotic, changing phenomena, and that Thunder Ancient God’s different personalities reflected successive generations.
• Li Qing concluded that the changing generations explained Thunder Ancient God and Ancient God of Light’s past behavior, then walked across the continent with two maids while Sylvie hid in his hair as a bacterium.

Li Qing toured the Origin Continent with Sylvie and Sylph, considering how to structure ascension and confronting his own limited lifespan as an Ancient God. He decided to pursue longevity through the universe’s development and agreed to let his two maids attain Ancient Godhood.

• Li Qing imagined creating ascension trials with layers of tribulations beneath the Origin Continent to make reaching the Upper Realm more difficult.
• Sylvie warned Li Qing that his lifespan as an Ancient God was less than ten thousand years, and he confirmed he had about nine thousand years before the universe transformed him into a celestial phenomenon.
• Li Qing realized he could not withdraw his Life Authority without losing control of the Crystal Wall universe, and resolved to study longevity as civilization advanced.
• Sylvie and Sylph asked to attain Ancient Godhood so they could live and die alongside Li Qing and serve him in divine bodies.
• Li Qing agreed and told Sylvie and Sylph to condense divine bodies and cultivate one of the Three Thousand Great Daos' laws.

Sylvie and Xierfu proved their Daos and became First-Level Ancient Gods while Li Qing considered how to keep beings from fleeing the universe. After settling on a barren mountain in the Origin Continent, the group began cultivating and reshaping the land, and Sylvie and Xierfu planned to combine their Spirit and Waterflow Authorities.

• Sylvie and Xierfu broke through to the first level of Ancient God, proving the Spirit and Waterflow Daos, while Li Qing pondered the universe’s growing pressure and lifespan.
• Li Qing decided to seal the Cosmic Membrane and prevent anyone from escaping, forcing them to help advance civilization instead.
• Sylvie and Xierfu worried about dangers in the Upper Realm, and Li Qing advised them to cultivate in seclusion rather than rely on God King Gab and God King Tangxia.
• Li Qing built a house on a barren mountain, where Xierfu transformed the surrounding worlds into water and established a vast ocean.
• Sylvie and Xierfu agreed to study a dual combination of Spirit and Waterflow, turning the ocean into a domain of strange phenomena.

Li Qing manipulated successive Ancient Tree and ancient dragon generations into creating Heavenly Tribulations and an Abyss World, hoping to spur civilization and cultivate a new generation. As rumors of the Abyss Realm reached the Origin Continent, Sylvie and Nokron feared that another great calamity was approaching.

• Li Qing decided to intervene in the Lower Realm and, as an Ancient God of Light, created the Lightning Tribulation before leaving a command for future generations to establish the Nine Heavenly Tribulations.
• After hundreds of generations, Li Qing returned as successive Ancient Tree Wills and added the Wind Tribulation and Fire Tribulation, while condemning generations that preferred to play rather than build.
• Li Qing switched to the ancient dragon faction and urged its generations to establish an Abyss Realm to oppose the Upper Realm, but the first new generation ignored the call and continued its leisure.
• Li Qing repeatedly changed identities to inflame conflict between the ancient dragons and ancient trees, and word of the forming Abyss World spread to the Origin Continent.
• Sylvie warned that the ancient dragons were building an Abyss Realm, and Nokron predicted that their growing conflict with the ancient trees could bring another great calamity.

Sylvie and Sylvie suspected that hidden masterminds had orchestrated Nokron’s resurrection and the coming Great Cosmic Tribulation. Li Qing let them continue their investigation while secretly adding Elise to the list of scapegoats.

• Sylvie noted that another Great Cosmic Tribulation had appeared only eight hundred years after Nokron’s ascension and suspected someone was scheming behind the scenes.
• Sylvie reviewed past disasters and identified Elise, Meng Yi, Sylvie, and the Elf Ancient God as masterminds behind earlier conflicts and ambushes.
• The two maids concluded that the Ancient Dragon, the Elven Ancient Tree, the Ancient God of Light, the Thunder Ancient God, and Elise might be manipulating the current calamity.
• Nokron praised the maids for becoming perceptive, then silently added Elise to his list of scapegoats.

Li Qing strengthened his plans for the Immortal Era while considering how the universe’s eventual collapse and rebirth might help him escape assimilation. He left the possibility of accelerating the universe’s destruction as a last resort.

• Li Qing decided that Elise, Tianzi, and Atabia needed to finish deducing the Life, Space, and Time Blueprints, while the Ancient Tree and Ancient Dragon held the second-level blueprints.
• Over ten years, Li Qing secretly provoked the Ancient Tree and Ancient Dragon and guided their followers into building stronger factions and competing with each other.
• After his consciousness was battered from acting as the Ancient Tree, Li Qing left the universe and sensed that it had recovered only 96% of its former matter.
• Li Qing calculated that the universe was slowly rotating toward a future collapse and Big Bang that could draw in the missing matter and reboot the universe.
• Li Qing considered building a giant hand or whip outside the universe to accelerate its rotation, but kept the idea as a last resort.

After eighty years away, Li Qing continued living quietly as the Upper and Lower Realms entered a new age and Gab God King neared the end of his life. As Gab prepared to become a tracker, Nokron returned to the Origin Ancient Tree.

• Li Qing ignored the speculation surrounding the new era and continued slacking off, sometimes going undercover as a sailor to stir up arguments between the factions.
• In the year 1002 of the Ancient Tree Era, news spread that Gab God King was dying, and people feared the calamity his demonic remains might cause.
• The Origin Ancient Tree planned to turn Gab into a tracker, following the mission of Min Shan and the Inspection Prefecture.
• Gab and Tangxia God King reminisced about their years serving under Nokron and Min Shan as Gab prepared to die peacefully.
• Nokron appeared beneath the Origin Ancient Tree and announced that he had returned.
