Chapter Summaries

Elise spent millions of years establishing the reincarnation system and preparing impartial laws, convinced that her Life Authority would make her the foremost Level One God. Meanwhile, Li Qing and his maids traveled the worlds after reincarnating, and the maids planned to cultivate new Dao Fruits in each life and turn the ones they shed into powerful artifacts.

• After Nokron and Sylvie departed, Elise hid reincarnation, then grew excited by Li Qing's promises and believed the Life God era would come first.
• Elise recognized that a completed Life Authority could establish reincarnation and rule over the Level Two Ancient Gods, while Time and Space might construct their own universal institutions.

• Li Qing and his maids left reincarnation at the Indestructible Level and traveled through the Chaos Corridor in a sports car.
• Sylph explained that the maids had kept their former Dao Fruits and intended to cultivate new ones in each life, eventually forging the discarded fruits into artifacts.

• Li Qing said he intended to seek other methods of immortality and suggested that Life, Time, and Space each represented one of the universe’s three methods.
• Sylvie and Nokron realized that Li Qing’s idea could reveal the universe’s future and wondered what forms of immortality the Time and Space Ancient Gods would create.

Li Qing and Sylvie discussed the coming Age of Level One Gods and anticipated Atabia’s Timeline-based Longevity Method while waiting through the long era. After millions of years of sleep, research, and reincarnation, Elise finally completed the reincarnation.

• Sylvie and her companion discussed the power of Level One Gods and looked forward to Atabia establishing the Timeline.
• Li Qing traveled with Sylvie and the others, who slept through the long era and periodically reincarnated as Elise.
• Elise worked continuously on the blueprints, while Atabia secretly researched and refined his Time Blueprints.

• Minis established a wizard’s path, while the group’s activities created legends across the Myriad Worlds.
• Elise completed the reincarnation.

Elise established the Underworld as a realm of reincarnation and drew Ancient Gods from across the Myriad Worlds to witness it. She left the chapter ruling the realm and offering talented souls paths to serve as Underworld gods or War Gods.

• Elise announced the establishment of reincarnation, and Ancient Gods journeyed to the Underworld to see its laws and enter rebirth.
• The visitors encountered the gift-seeking Hell Three-Headed Dragon guarding the gate, Wales ferrying souls across the River of Suffering, and Aurora’s Place of Suffering for the wicked.

Li Qing listened in as the Ancient Gods of Light plotted against Elise’s reincarnation system and worried it would draw future generations away from their realms. They launched a covert review campaign to discredit reincarnation, leaving Li Qing stunned by his clones’ tactics.

• Li Qing entered the Origin Ancient Tree as an Ancient God of Light and heard his fellow gods blame Nokron for helping Elise create reincarnation.
• The Ancient Gods of Light judged that reincarnation would attract most newcomers and leave their Supreme Realms short of new arrivals for a hundred thousand years.
• The gods decided to publicize the dangers of reincarnation to steer people back toward their own cultivation paths.
• The Ancient Gods of Light flooded the lightning network with fabricated and genuine-sounding accounts of people being killed or failing to regain their strength across lifetimes.
• Li Qing watched the gods act as paid posters and wondered how his clones had become so skilled at review campaigns.

Li Qing’s clones spread rumors that encouraged banditry around Elise’s reincarnation cycle, forcing Elise and Wales to confront the crisis without ruining their claim to neutrality. Atabia’s brief proposal of “No death penalty. Red-name players” gave Elise a way to address the bandits while countering the scheme.

• Li Qing watched his clones’ paid-posting campaign spread panic and inspire Ancient Gods to prey on those carrying godheads toward reincarnation.
• Within a century, bandits gathered around the reincarnation cycle and began looting godheads, prompting Elise to blame the Ancient Gods of Light for waging an opinion war.
• Elise proposed the death penalty for ambushers, but Wales warned that it would destroy the cycle’s reputation as a neutral intermediary.
• Elise and Wales considered patrols, then recognized that the bandits could evade them and that unchecked looting could spread across the universe.
• Unable to find Nokron, Elise asked Wales to contact Atabia, who replied a month later: “No death penalty. Red-name players.”
• Elise and Wales understood Atabia’s proposal and believed it could resolve the crisis and complete the reincarnation cycle’s laws.

Elise recognized Atabia’s plan to mark violent cultivators as red-name players, letting others kill them while keeping reincarnation itself within its limits. After consulting Professor Wales and her Think Tank, she prepared to reform reincarnation and concluded that the world’s fate rested with the Ancient God of Light, Nokron, and Atabia.

• Elise realized Atabia would label robbers and killers red-name players, making their deaths at others’ hands permissible while allowing them to retain an extra Dao Fruit.
• Professor Wales explained that righteous cultivators would hunt red-name players for merit and Dao Fruits, balancing the factions and making reincarnation a self-contained system.
• Elise accepted that reincarnation would have to let some divine cores flow to the world below, where competing gods could grow stronger.
• Elise reflected on the pressure of taking the Life Ancient God’s position and acknowledged that she lacked the strategic ability of the people shaping events.
• Elise and Professor Wales reviewed the eight-character letter, then she burned it and began reforming reincarnation and issuing new decrees.
• Elise declared that the grand momentum of the world centered on the Ancient God of Light, Nokron, and Atabia.

A year after the Reincarnation Great Emperor marked those who ambushed Ancient Gods, the Underworld entrances had become bloody battlegrounds where demonic and righteous cultivators fought over divine cores. As the Human Way faction flourished and called for the Ancient God of Light’s downfall, Nokron visited the Underworld and reflected on the factions’ hypocrisy while the Heavenly Dao Ancient Tree struggled against their growing public influence.

• The Reincarnation Great Emperor declared that those who harmed Ancient Gods would bear visible karmic marks after reincarnating.
• Demonic cultivators and righteous ambushers turned the Underworld gates into cities of sin, and the divine-core faction rose to prominence.
• Human Way cultivators celebrated their golden age and vowed to kill the Ancient God of Light and fulfill the former Human Emperor Star Lord’s unfinished wish.
• Nokron arrived at the Underworld with Sylvie and Li Qing, who criticized the righteous cultivators for exploiting the bounty system to loot divine cores.
• The Heavenly Dao Ancient Tree lamented that it could no longer compete with its enemies’ information network, while Li Qing dismissed the Ancient Gods’ private foolishness.

After the naval-force stratagem failed, the Ancient Gods of Light divided their Crystal Wall system into rival factions, sparking battles and fierce debates over the universe’s future. Li Qing welcomed the era’s vitality even as he foresaw that a coming war between two celestial phenomena might destroy the universe.

• The Ancient Gods of Light split the Abyss World and the Origin World into opposing factions, and their forces began fighting across the Netherworld and Rainbow Bridge.
• By Ancient Tree Calendar year 6021, rival schools argued across the Myriad Worlds over whether divine authorities, crystal cores, Dao Fruits, or Golden Cores were the best foundation for cultivation.
• Radicals declared that the Crystal Wall Universe would be replaced by a crystal-core universe, while their opponents defended Crystal Walls as the universe’s foundation.
• Li Qing watched the arguments and accepted that the universe’s inhabitants could choose their own vision of its future.
• Li Qing anticipated that a future war between two new celestial phenomena could shatter the Crystal Walls and destroy the universe, but he still felt pleased by the era’s energy.

Li Qing traveled through the Crystal Wall Universe, fishing in worlds and discussing the coming conflict between the two Heavenly Daos. He slept through the Golden Age of Dao Debates and finally awakened ten years before the war was expected to begin, finding the universe transformed.

• Li Qing stopped his car beside a world and fished through its Crystal Wall while its gods panicked at the silhouettes outside.
• Li Qing told Sylvie that the two Heavenly Daos were nearing war and that victory depended on Atabia completing his blueprints and divine artifacts.
• Li Qing hoped Atabia’s Time Blueprints would solve his lifespan problem and considered causing more trouble if they failed.
• Li Qing slept and fished as Dao debates spread across the universe, making the Age of Reincarnation increasingly prosperous and noisy.
• Li Qing awakened fully during the final ten years before the expected war and found the Crystal Wall Universe almost unrecognizable.

Fifty million years after entering the sports car, Li Qing and Sylvie awoke to a transformed Myriad Worlds, where dense maze-like realms had become a modern metropolis of towering palaces and broad roads. As they traveled with a talkative old man, they learned how the Palace Era had replaced the dangerous Labyrinth Era, and Li Qing admired the universe’s brighter, more developed landscape.

• Sylvie and Li Qing emerged from their sleeping quarters and saw that the Myriad Worlds had become a metropolis of towering buildings arranged across thirty-three layers.
• Li Qing realized that the defensive buildings had arisen after reincarnation and factional warfare began, as realms adopted structures suited to battle.
• Sylvie wondered which divine lattice faction had won, and she and Li Qing drove through the city to explore.
• An old man riding a golden dragon recognized Li Qing’s car as the first-generation Ghost Chariot and explained how vehicles had become common in the Palace Era.
• The old man described how the old maze-like roads had made travel to reincarnation perilous, while the Palace Era’s broad roads and landmarks made journeys easier.
• Li Qing praised the era’s improved lighting, noting that sunlight, moonlight, and starlight could now reach more of the universe.

Li Qing and Sylvie toured the Myriad Worlds fifty million years after the great Dao dispute began, learning how civilizations and cultivation had changed. They found that three godhead factions had endured, while Li Qing was left reflecting on the era’s transformations and Sylvie debated whether fifty million years was truly a short time.

• Li Qing and Sylvie traveled through the transformed Myriad Worlds, where the Ancient God of Light’s faction was still debating after fifty million years.
• The Old Man explained that powerful races ruled their own domains and described the widespread presence of cultivation sects and the Succubus Empress’s celestial domain.
• The Old Man outlined the three surviving godhead factions: the Dao Fruit lineage, the Golden Core lineage, and the crystal core lineage.
• Li Qing recognized the three factions’ philosophies as nonaction, freedom, and neutrality, and felt lonely seeing the brain tree unchanged amid the era’s upheaval.
• Li Qing and Sylvie left the Old Man, and Sylvie argued that fifty million years was short compared with the timescales of biological evolution and Earth’s history.

Li Qing surveyed the powerful beings of the era and found that Atabia was close to completing his Life Blueprint, while the Emperor was also evolving with Atabia’s help. Fifty million years later, Elise and Professor Wales recognized that war was imminent, and Elise resolved to unify the Three Realms so she could return to the heavens.

• Li Qing used his camera to survey the era’s major forces and considered whether hidden sages like the Star Lord or Ancient God of Light had appeared.
• Li Qing discovered that Atabia’s Life Blueprint was 99% complete and concluded that Atabia needed a great battle to break through.
• Li Qing saw that Atabia was accelerating the Emperor’s evolution, though the Emperor’s progress remained just over 80% complete.
• Fifty million years later, Elise and Professor Wales discussed the approaching war and the long passage of time in the Lower Realm.
• Elise declared that she would unify the Three Realms and become their ruler so she could ascend to the heavens.

Li Qing, Sylvie, and her companion traveled through the Great Heavens and Underworld fifty million years into the future, where they reunited with Elise and Aurora. Elise revealed that Reincarnation was nearly complete but that she could not defeat the Ancient God of Light, and she asked Senior Nokron to save the coming age.

• Li Qing and his companions explored the Great Heavens, heard the battles raging inside the Jianmu, and sensed that the factions were preparing for war.
• Li Qing took Sylvie and her companion to the Underworld, where they crossed the Boneyard and met the ferryman Wales, who said Elise had been waiting for them.
• They reunited with Elise and Aurora at the Underworld Palace and discussed how Reincarnation had developed over fifty million years.
• Elise explained that her Authority Divine Artifact was nearly complete but that the Ancient God of Light's Super Heavenly Dao Brain made him overwhelmingly powerful.
• Elise bowed to Senior Nokron and asked him to act to save the glorious age.

Elise showed Nokron the reincarnation artifact’s research organization and revealed that its godhead diagrams were nearly complete, hoping he would finish the Matter Blueprint and help oppose the Ancient God of Light. Nokron discovered that Elise had secretly recruited a gifted cultivation-method researcher named Bai Lin, whom he decided to observe from afar.

• Elise led Nokron and the two maids into the reincarnation artifact, where they saw celestial beings researching the Three Thousand Great Daos.
• Elise said that 98% of the possible Nine-Layered Godhead combinations were complete and asked Nokron to master the Matter Blueprint.
• Nokron questioned how Elise had progressed so quickly and suspected she had found another genius devoted to developing cultivation methods.
• Elise admitted she had recruited a hidden researcher, and Li Qing learned from her memories that his name was Bai Lin and his Research Aptitude was 130.
• Li Qing chose to mark Bai Lin and watch him secretly rather than approach or recruit him.

Nokron agreed to become a hidden weapon against the Light Heaven if Li Qing could complete the flawed Matter Blueprints ahead of schedule. Li Qing began researching the blueprints in reincarnation, and five hundred years later he met the genius cultivation researcher Bai Lin, whose ideas helped him advance the work.

• Nokron accepted Elise’s proposal to take authority as the Material Ancient God and serve as a secret trump card against the Light Heaven.
• Elise urged Li Qing to conceal their cooperation from Atabia and the others while they prepared the final two percent of the Ninefold Dao Scripture and studied divine-core diagrams.
• Li Qing settled into reincarnation and began researching how to fuse the Matter Blueprints, using data from both the Light Ancient Tree and reincarnation.
• After five hundred years, Li Qing met Bai Lin, a gifted cultivation-technique researcher whose ideas aided Li Qing’s work on fusing the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Li Qing and Bai Lin spent over a thousand years studying the Great Daos together, each astonished by the other's abilities. Their discussions convinced Bai Lin that Nokron’s immense knowledge could not be explained by ordinary talent, leaving him to suspect Nokron was something beyond human.

• Li Qing worked with Bai Lin for over a thousand years, studying the Great Daos and experimenting with combinations of techniques.
• Li Qing recognized Bai Lin as a rare genius but reasoned that he might spare him, since his talents would matter less after the current era passed.
• Bai Lin was amazed by Nokron’s deep knowledge of all three thousand Great Daos and questioned how any human could master them all.
• Bai Lin recalled arguing with Underworld Emperor Elise that only the Celestials could unite all three thousand Great Daos, and that the Ancient God of Light might reach the highest truth.
• After years of observing and discussing the Dao with Nokron, Bai Lin concluded that Nokron had a huge secret and might be another Heaven beyond the Heavenly Dao of Light.

Bai Lin grew increasingly terrified of Nokron, suspecting that he was a Heavenly Being, while Li Qing monitored him and chose to let him live for now. Unable to endure the strain any longer, Bai Lin sought Elise and warned her about Nokron.

• Bai Lin hid his suspicions while discussing the Dao with Nokron, then collapsed in fear after Nokron left.
• Li Qing watched Bai Lin through his surveillance network and decided to keep monitoring him because the era needed Bai Lin's research.
• For a month, Nokron and Bai Lin continued meeting as the coming war drove up prices and intensified preparations at the Boneyard of the Netherworld and the Ancient Tree Rainbow Bridge.
• Bai Lin, worn down by the pressure of facing Nokron, resolved to seek help and went to Elise at the Netherworld Divine Palace.
• Bai Lin told Elise that Nokron was not human and was likely a Heavenly Being with terrifying origins.

Elise and Bai Lin debated whether Nokron was a naturally born universal genius or a Heaven phenomenon created through hidden interference. Elise concluded that Meng Yi had shaped Nokron and accelerated history to prepare him to oppose the Ancient God of Light, leaving Elise and Bai Lin resolved to face the coming cataclysm.

• Elise laughed at Bai Lin's suspicion that Nokron's ability to master the Three Thousand Great Daos was unnatural, but Bai Lin argued that the universe's history had advanced far too quickly.
• Bai Lin told Elise he believed Nokron had not been naturally born and that someone was manipulating events behind the scenes.
• Elise agreed that Nokron might be Heaven, then proposed that Meng Yi had transformed his corpse into a composite-consciousness life-form like the Ancient God of Light's Light Brain.
• Elise reasoned that Meng Yi had altered the Timeline and accelerated civilization so Nokron could become powerful enough to oppose the God of Light.
• Elise reflected on Meng Yi's sacrifices and declared that they would face the coming cataclysm by attacking Heaven and killing the God of Light.

Elise remained privately suspicious that Nokron might be a hidden mastermind and resolved to investigate him without Bai Lin knowing, while explaining away his unusual brain as advanced technology inherited from Meng Yi. Bai Lin then proposed that Nokron might actually have been the Ancient God of Light, leaving Elise shocked by his new theory.

• Elise doubted her own explanation of Nokron's origins and decided to secretly investigate whether something was wrong with him.
• Bai Lin wondered how Nokron's small brain could contain the neural elements needed to govern countless Great Daos.
• Elise explained that Meng Yi's advanced technology could have made Nokron's neural elements microscopic, and suggested Meng Yi mastered both time and life.
• Elise planned to secretly examine Nokron's brain to confirm whether it contained the expected neural-element structure.
• Bai Lin proposed that Nokron might truly have been the Ancient God of Light, shocking Elise.
