Chapter Summaries

Li Qing returned to the Crystal Wall Origin Ancient Tree and reunited with Gab and Tang Xia as they fished and reflected on the era’s recovery. As the two old men prepared to die, they asked Li Qing to become the next God King so they could leave the era in safe hands.

• Li Qing returned to the Origin Ancient Tree, where its current consciousness recognized Nokron but did not realize he was a predecessor.
• Li Qing, Gab, and Tang Xia sat together at their familiar fishing pond and cast lines into the worlds below.
• Gab explained that he had restrained his desire for immortality rather than risk harming the recovering era, and said he and Tang Xia believed their roles in rebuilding it were part of Meng Yi’s fate.
• Li Qing asked why they did not resist fate, and Tang Xia replied that they accepted the future they hoped for but would resist if it became cruel.
• Gab told Li Qing that he and Tang Xia were near death and asked him to become the next God King so they could leave the era without fear.

Li Qing returned to the Origin Continent, saw God-King Gab and other old heroes reach the end of their lives, and began investigating how life could overcome aging by processing information more effectively. After years of research amid the rise of new powers, he perfected another branch of the Life Blueprint.

• Nokron refused Gab's request to become the next-generation God-King, and Li Qing later left after saying goodbye to Gab and Tangxia.
• Gab died and became the second Ferryman, while Tangxia presided over his funeral and the handover to the new generation.
• Li Qing pondered why powerful beings aged, concluding that their minds were exhausted by processing vast amounts of information and that life needed an updated version.
• Three years later, new-generation factions competed for power, Sylph and Sylvie gained a reputation, and Walton's Umbrella Corporation drew notice for selling capsules that slowed clashes between authorities.
• Li Qing used the two great libraries to research a new Life Blueprint and eventually perfected its next branch.

Li Qing completed the Super Adaptation authority and gave it to Xu Li in the Abyss World, where it triggered her evolution into a leader of a rapidly changing species. Xu Li became the Blade Queen and began unleashing a new evolutionary upheaval across the Abyss.

• Li Qing completed Super Adaptation and decided to place the natural evolution authority in the Abyss World, with Elise as its supposed researcher.

• Xu Li evolved into the monstrous Blade Queen and claimed the power to grant endless evolution to living things.
• The Abyss creatures began transforming rapidly into new species, bringing upheaval to the world.

Xu Li gained immense power and launched a campaign against the patriarchal order of the Xu Ling Realm, while Li Qing considered how to respond to the society’s entrenched exploitation. She began spreading her war into neighboring worlds, leaving the universe in chaos.

• Xu Li declared that she would create a reproductive system without fathers and welcomed the idea of a supreme mother.
• The chapter described how the Xu Family built a society of hereditary rule, enslaving people at the bottom and even treating their own children as laborers.

• Xu Li reached the divine level in less than half an hour and attacked the miners and overseers.
• Xu Li swept through the Xu Ling Realm and sent troops into neighboring worlds, prompting panic over her plan to erase fathers and oppose the Creator God lineage.

The experts witnessed Li Qing’s final Life Blueprint transform the Abyss into a world of rapid, ruthless natural evolution. The Abyss Species conquered the realms, and Empress Xu Li rose as the first Abyss God King, determined to reach the Ninth Level of Ancient God.

• Figures from across the worlds entered the Xu Ling Realm and saw its creatures evolving through a new system that shed parental reproduction in favor of cells developing into life on their own.
• The experts debated how the Abyss’s natural evolution could produce elite intelligent beings and challenge the Creator God lineage, while Li Qing considered both life blueprints parts of a complete Life Authority.
• Less than ten years later, adaptable Abyss Species spread through the Abyss, evolving to suit rivers, volcanoes, storms, and other environments.
• The Abyss Species overran the nearby All Heavens Worlds, and Empress Xu Li rose to lead their conquest of the Abyss.
• Xu Li became the first-generation Abyss God King and declared her intention to reach the Ninth Level of Ancient God.

Xu Li unified the Abyss Ocean and sought to evolve herself enough to pave the way for Elise, while Abyss-born races spread across the Myriad Worlds and sparked a vast war. As Old Man Wales and his companions prepared to hide from the conflict, soldiers arrived and recognized Aurora as the Abyss Princess.

• Xu Li resolved to use her authority to evolve through nine layers and create a complete Life Blueprint for Elise.
• By Year 1300 of the Ancient Tree Era, Xu Li had unified the Abyss Ocean, whose rapidly evolving races spread through the Myriad Worlds and launched wars and purges.
• After thirty thousand years of conflict, war reached the Trade Ancient City, and Old Man Wales, Minis, the Holy Dragon, and their allies decided to hide in Atabia’s temporal grotto-heaven.
• A group of soldiers found the hidden companions and knelt before Aurora, welcoming the return of the Abyss Princess.
• Fat Dragon carried Aurora toward the soldiers as Professor Wales considered visiting the Abyss World.

Minis and his companions descended into the Abyss World, where its evolving species and familiar history stirred memories of Elise and the bygone age. They reached the Abyssal temple and met Empress Xu Li, who welcomed them warmly because they were Elise’s friends.

• Minis recalled the old Abyss World as the group sailed past its evolving species and wondered whether its oppressed creatures might again revolt.
• The Holy Dragon and Minis discussed the old Abyss Academy, Elise, and their acquaintances, while Minis envied Elise’s devoted followers.
• Minis learned that Aurora had been brought back as the Abyss Princess because she possessed life authority and fragments of Elise’s life.
• The group descended through the Abyssal Vortex to the ocean floor and entered the Abyssal temple.
• Xu Li greeted Aurora as Elise’s daughter and ordered a feast for the group, leaving Minis and Professor Wales surprised by her warmth and apparent insecurity.

Minis and Professor Wales befriended Xu Li and gained some authority in the Abyss, while Xu Li found a family in Aurora and began building a cult devoted to Elise. The Elise Cult spread rapidly through the Abyss, promoting Aurora and calling for a world without fathers.

• Minis concluded that Xu Li lacked ambitions of her own and craved maternal affection, then plotted with Professor Wales to take charge of civil affairs while Xu Li handled military matters.
• At a banquet, Xu Li learned that Sylph and Senior Nokron had gone to the Origin Continent and offered to help connect them with her forces there.
• Xu Li shared some authority with Minis and Professor Wales, then spent three days growing close to Aurora and finding warmth in their relationship.
• Convinced by Aurora’s kindness that Elise must have been a benevolent mother, Xu Li had Aurora preach the Elise Cult throughout the Abyss.
• The Abyssal Cult grew quickly as believers idolized Aurora, prayed to Elise, and proclaimed that the world should have no fathers.

Minis and Professor Wales took over administration of the Abyss World as Xu Li withdrew from power, while Li Qing backed their rule and considered how to control the growing number of worlds. In year 1517 of the Ancient Tree Era, the Origin Ancient Tree and Abyss World formed rival churches and began a vast war across the Myriad Worlds.

• Xu Li relinquished power to Minis, Fat Dragon, and Professor Wales, then stayed with Aurora while her body endured the cost of super-evolution.
• Minis worried that Abyss experiments might create a monster capable of overthrowing his rule, and Professor Wales warned him to watch the wandering Ancient Dragon.
• Li Qing approved of Minis and Professor Wales’s administration and described his plans to strengthen his rule and use them as public-facing rulers.
• The Abyssal Calamity expanded through the Myriad Worlds as the Church of Thunder, promoting fatherless altered species that reproduced through single cells.

Li Qing secretly stirred up conflict between the Ancient Dragon and the Origin Ancient Tree while planning to destroy them once their libraries had collected the universe’s cultivation blueprints. Sylvie and Sylph sought out Nokron after learning of Minis’s rise, and he warned them that Dream Yi’s prophecy of the Dark Age of the End of Magic was coming.

• Li Qing posed as a peacemaker while secretly inciting the Ancient Dragon and the Origin Ancient Tree to fight, and he planned to shut down the Crystal Wall to eliminate them after they finished collecting blueprints.
• Li Qing decided to prepare a prophecy about the universe entering darkness and losing all laws, which he planned to spread under Dream Yi’s identity.
• Sylvie and Sylph received a letter revealing that Minis had become the temporary administrative Abyssal God-King, and they marveled at his luck and access to powerful cultivation arts.
• Sylvie and Sylph went to find Nokron, who told them that Dream Yi’s prophecy of the Dark Age of the End of Magic was finally coming.

Nokron told Sylvie and Sylvie that Dreamcoat had prophesied a coming Great Black Heaven in which the laws, gods, and divine powers would fail. He claimed the calamity could not be stopped because the Ancient Dragon and the ancient tree factions kept fueling their war, while Li Qing privately prepared to exploit the prophecy and continued provoking the conflict.

• Nokron explained that Dreamcoat’s prophecy described the Timeline vanishing, space freezing, life fading, the Supreme Gods falling, and the artifacts of the Three Thousand Great Daos ceasing to function.
• Sylvie and Sylvie asked whether the Great Black Heaven could truly happen and whether it could be prevented, and Nokron confirmed the prophecy and blamed the factions’ ongoing conflict.
• Li Qing privately recognized that he had deliberately shut down the Crystal Wall’s authorities and was using Dreamcoat’s prophecy to disguise his plans and prepare the universe for the resulting chaos.
• Nokron said the Ancient Dragon and the ancient tree remained bitter enemies, with hawkish extremists continually pushing their war forward, and Li Qing privately acknowledged that he was becoming a behind-the-scenes villain.

Nokron ordered both worlds to prepare for a coming catastrophe caused by the ancient tree and ancient dragon, while keeping the Heavenly Daos uninformed. In the year 1621, Emperor Xu Li reached the eightfold Ancient God realm and shared her cultivation method, strengthening the Abyss and securing the Abyss Nobles’ allegiance.

• Nokron told Sylvie to warn Atabia, the Abyss intelligence network, and people in the other world while keeping the ancient tree and ancient dragon uninformed.

Xu Li God King’s Abyss Realm surged ahead in the war after she developed powerful cultivation scriptures and reached the Ninth Heaven, prompting her followers to hail her as the Xu Li Celestial Emperor. She rejected the title as premature and resolved to keep improving her dao scripture and pursuing her vow to revive Goddess Elise.

• Xu Li God King expanded the Abyss Realm’s cultivation system, producing eight Seventh Heaven Ancient God Demon Kings.
• The Abyss Realm’s forces seized seven-tenths of the Myriad Worlds as its powerhouses mocked the Origin Continent’s weaker cultivation.

• The people of the Abyss Realm celebrated Xu Li God King’s achievement and gave her the title Xu Li Celestial Emperor.
• Xu Li told Aurora that her Ninth Heaven dao scripture was only a flawed beginning and reaffirmed her vow to revive Goddess Elise.

Xu Li sought a way to invade the Origin Continent and fulfill her ambition of destroying the Father, so she began building a bridge between the Abyss and the Upper Realm. The chapter ended with her using the Heavenly Emperor Mountain Moving Scripture to start the vast construction, while people across the universe foresaw a war between the two realms.

• Li Qing watched the Abyssal beasts and studied the newly developed Heavenly Flame Art, which he noted was stronger than before.
• Xu Li, now over six hundred years old, regretted that nine of her Dao scriptures remained incomplete and resolved to attack the Origin Continent.
• The consciousness of an Ancient Dragon proposed digging a World Tunnel through the Myriad Worlds to connect the Abyss and the Upper Realm.
• Xu Li committed the Supreme Abyss Realm and the Lower Realm worlds to building the bridge, mobilizing billions of people and vast resources.
• A century later, Xu Li created the Heavenly Emperor Mountain Moving Scripture and began drilling through the realms with her incarnation.
• People across the universe watched Xu Li's undertaking and predicted that the bridge would lead to an unprecedented war between the Ancient Gods of both realms.

Li Qing planned to have Sylph and Sylvie act as insiders when the Abyss World and Origin Continent connected in five hundred years. Sylvie predicted the coming invasion and its major battles so accurately that Li Qing wondered whether to kill her.

• The Ancient Gods feared Xu Li’s breakthrough and the approaching calamity, while Tang Xia wished Nokron could help them face it.
• Li Qing decided to recreate Elise’s betrayal by having insiders open a way for the Abyss World to invade the Origin Continent.
• Nokron summoned Sylph and Sylvie and told them to coordinate with the Abyss World from within.
• Sylph agreed to imitate Elise and welcome the Abyss forces, while Sylvie began predicting how the invasion and ensuing battle would unfold.
• Sylvie described Herodotus opening the Gate of Truth to confront the resurrected Nokron, leaving Li Qing speechless at her apparent prophetic insight.

Li Qing prepared to exploit the coming war between the Origin Ancient Tree and the ancient dragon, while a new, unusually wise Ancient God of Light sought a way to escape his three-month lifespan. The Ancient God of Light decided to investigate Xu Li’s world bridge, where the drilling vibrations were coming from.

• Li Qing and Sylvie continued cultivating while secretly building connections and preparing an attack from within the Abyss World.
• Li Qing reflected that the conflict he had arranged would let him seize power and eventually kill the ancient tree and ancient dragon.
• The Origin Ancient Tree’s latest Ancient God of Light, whose intelligence surpassed that of previous generations, sought a way to escape the Heavenly Dao and gain eternal life.
• The Ancient God of Light considered using remade Crystal Wall material to create a body, but recognized that the current Crystal Wall was controlled and flawed.
• The Ancient God of Light headed toward Xu Li’s world bridge, drawn by the vibrations of the ongoing drilling.

The Ancient God of Light explored the Myriad Worlds to uncover how to transcend the universe’s Crystal Wall and build an artificial one. As he attempted to reincarnate, he discovered that the universe contained a future catastrophe deliberately written into it by a hidden being.

• The Ancient God of Light met Xu Li at her drilling site, explained his wish to transcend fate, and apologized for a predecessor’s attempt to prevent Nokron’s rebirth.
• The Ancient God of Light studied the Crystal Walls across the Myriad Worlds and failed to reforge one during his first attempt.
• With his life nearing its end, the Ancient God of Light recorded his research for future generations and tried to merge with a reconstructed Crystal Wall shell to reincarnate.

• The Ancient God of Light realized the vision was not natural fate but a future artificially written into the universe by a hidden existence.

The Ancient God of Light, having reincarnated as a human, tried to warn the worlds about Li Qing but discovered that Li Qing had silenced and isolated them. Li Qing revealed that he had orchestrated the Ancient Tree Wills across generations, and the Ancient God of Light disintegrated after his attempt to become mortal failed.

• The Ancient God of Light charged through the Heavens Corridor and called on the worlds to listen, but none of them could hear or see him.
• Li Qing emerged from the fog and explained that the Crystal Walls belonged to him and that he had waited for the Ancient God of Light to undergo Mortal Transformation before confronting him.
• The Ancient God of Light condemned Li Qing’s attempt to control the universe and warned that the Heavenly Dao would eventually surpass him.
• Li Qing revealed that the Ancient God of Light’s inherited message and supposed contingency were known to him, and that he had been the Ancient Tree Will behind the heroes of earlier generations.
• The Ancient God of Light realized that Li Qing had been the universe’s mythical hero all along, then collapsed and disintegrated after insisting that future Heavenly Daos would break free of him.

Li Qing discovered and erased a young Ancient God of Light’s method for escaping the Heavenly Dao, then began researching whether humans could endure more than nine Great Daos. While he kept the Ancient Tree and Ancient Dragon distracted, Sylvie and Sylph built an intelligence network in the Abyss World, and messengers between the Upper and Lower Realms were attacked.

• Li Qing entered the next generation’s Ancient Tree and erased the Ancient God of Light’s notes about transforming the Heavenly Dao into human form.
• Li Qing realized the Ancient Tree and Ancient Dragon could eventually break free of his control, so he began investigating whether a soul could carry more than nine Great Daos.

Atabia, Herodotus, and the others studied the Five Elements Re-Illumination Book and concluded that cultivating magical artifacts could let weaker gods bridge the power gap and shape the future mythological age. After seven days of discussion, Black Star wondered whether pills could also break through the limit of nine.

• Herodotus and Atabia examined the scripture Sylvie had passed to them and praised its ninefold cultivation method, though they could not cultivate it themselves.
• Atabia explained that perfectly matched great paths were far stronger than random combinations and argued that magical artifacts offered a way to increase combat power beyond the limits of a cultivator’s own authorities.
• The Heavenly Son described how headgear and body-worn artifacts had amplified fighters in the old martial arts era, and proposed using higher-realm treasures to fight stronger gods again.
• Atabia created biological books, armor, swords, and helmets that could cultivate the scripture and become powerful magical treasures.
• The group discussed the future of artifact cultivation for seven days, and Black Star wondered whether pills could likewise break past the limit of nine.
