• Chu He wandered through the desolate Barbarian Domain and found the Heavenly Stele plumper than before, where it greeted him with fireworks.

Chu He returned to the Book Repository, then entered the world beyond the door to investigate the opening beneath the teleportation altar. He crushed a poisonous insect that attacked him and looked deeper into the vast passage beneath Jie Kun Hall.

• Chu He noticed that the Heavenly Stele had stopped longing for home and suspected it was gradually breaking free of its restraints before leaving the Barbarian Domain.
• Chu He returned to the Book Repository, signed in to obtain a bottle of Eternal Sand, and entered the world beyond the door beneath the Town Boundary Tower.
• Chu He’s arrival cowed the world’s ancient existences, and he went to Jie Kun Hall without taking the treasures stored along the way.
• Chu He entered the altar hall and saw a pitch-black cave open beneath the teleportation altar; his gaze accidentally erased the hall’s fading strand of will.
• A black beetle attacked Chu He, but he snapped off its poisoned mouthparts, examined it, and crushed it.
• Chu He looked down the cave and saw a vast passage that spanned great distances through folded space.

Chu He entered the wormhole and refined swarms of insects whose mouthparts carried power that could contaminate an origin, condensing it into black spheres. After reaching the originless land beyond, he drew the insects’ attention and sensed an intelligent gaze; the swarm retreated as he grabbed toward its source.

• Chu He looked through the wormhole, saw a vast land filled with insects, and used his flaming palm to refine tens of millions of them.
• Chu He gathered the insects’ origin-contaminating power into a black pearl and suspected they had been bred to attack origins.
• Chu He entered the wormhole and emerged in a gray land where he could sense no origin, then began refining the attacking swarms.
• Chu He sensed an emotional, intelligent gaze among the insects, collected four black spheres, and grabbed toward the gaze’s source.

Chu He captured a Black Beetle in the Ninth Mountain and learned that the place was an ancient-era remnant, then explored its vast and unfamiliar world. As he compared its inhabitants’ path of cultivating their own Dao with the origin-based methods he knew, he wondered whether their stronger cultivation had a limit.

• Chu He sealed the Black Beetle, refined the other insects, and learned from it that he was in the Ninth Mountain, an ancient-era remnant.
• Chu He placed the Black Beetle in a jar and traveled through the strange world, noticing its artificial sun and the jade coffin within it.
• Chu He questioned a trembling black bear and found that the world’s beasts and intelligent races were generally weak and knew little about their home.
• Chu He reasoned that the Ninth Mountain was connected to Nine Realms Mountain but was not the same place, and observed that its inhabitants cultivated their own Dao rather than the Dao of origin.
• Chu He used a drop of essence blood to simulate the foreign races’ cultivation, finding that merging with a Great Dao seemed stronger than cultivating laws at the same level.
• Chu He questioned whether the inhabitants’ path was truly correct or whether it had no further advance as his essence blood continued its deduction.

Chu He confirmed that cultivating One’s Own Dao had a future, decided to leave the dangerous world without investigating its secrets, and gave Sang Qingqing a Pill as he passed. Sang Qingqing reached a Human Clan village before nightfall, but a great calamity began as the darkness intensified.

• Chu He completed his simulation, sensed a path for cultivating One’s Own Dao, and concluded that the world concealed a great secret.
• Chu He turned back toward the wormhole, gave Sang Qingqing a Pill while she bathed, and marked her to protect her from other races.
• Sang Qingqing digested the Pill and found that her strength had risen by an entire level before she hurried to a Human Clan village ahead of nightfall.
• Darkness enveloped the village as bloodthirsty beasts roared, while a terrifying black shadow searched the region near the wormhole and then hurried away.
• Sang Qingqing awoke to trembling heaven and earth, felt terror intensify outside the temple, and recognized signs of a great calamity.

Sang Qingqing was lured out of a temple by Ghost Shadow and nearly devoured, but Chu He’s golden apparition appeared and overwhelmed the ghost. Chu He then noticed that the Ancient Era World had changed since daytime and was exerting a slight suppressive force on him.

• As the temple shook, a familiar voice lured Sang Qingqing toward the broken doorway while Ghost Shadow waited outside.
• Sang Qingqing stepped into the darkness and woke to find Ghost Shadow about to attack her.

• Chu He recalled that he had been listening to stories in the Book Repository when he sensed his consciousness in the Ancient Era World being stirred.
• Chu He discovered that the world was suppressing him and awakened the seed of consciousness to investigate.

Chu He stopped the world-shaking tremors with a light touch, halting the disturbance coming from the Netherworld Depths. As the imprisoned force below recognized a human had intervened, a wary figure atop First Mountain prepared for a calamity that had abruptly paused.

• Chu He pressed his palm to the ground and stopped the violent shaking, leaving Sang Qingqing to wonder if he was her clan’s Hidden Ancestor.
• The ghostly face realized Chu He was far beyond its ability to resist, but believed his interference would bring the Devil Lord’s wrath.

• A figure atop First Mountain sensed the disturbance halt and gathered strength, fearing the pause meant a greater strike was coming.
• A terrifying gaze rose from the Netherworld Depths and a voice called Chu He “Human!”

• Sang Qingqing bowed to Chu He as her Old Ancestor, and he decided to teach her a cultivation method and test whether she was a child of the world.

Chu He trained Sang Qingqing to grow stronger and prepare for the Devil Lord’s return, while discovering that a hidden force suppressed the world’s strongest cultivators. The chapter left Sang Qingqing concealing her true progress as Chu He watched her path toward becoming an epic legend.

• Chu He gave Sang Qingqing an inheritance and warned her that the Devil Lord was nearing freedom, overwhelming her until she fainted.

At his six-hundredth sign-in, Chu He received the Cosmic Armor Set, a treasure that greatly enhanced his defense and concealed his presence. He felt more secure as he prepared to navigate the shadowy game unfolding across the worlds, though he remained unsure of the other players’ circumstances.

• Chu He received the Cosmic Armor Set and tested its defenses, concealment, and ability to disguise him.
• Chu He considered the hidden forces playing chess across the worlds and admitted that uncertainty made his own moves hesitant.

Chu He reflected on the hidden forces unsettling all realms, then resumed his quiet life while observing events through Sang Qingqing. Meanwhile, two Ox Demons discussed the capture of Ming and the danger posed by an unknown monkey, though one dismissed the warnings and continued tainting a Great World.

• Chu He put away the ritual items, drank tea, ate roasted sheep, and returned to watching the realms and cultivating.
• An arriving Ox Demon warned its companion that Ming had been captured alive by an unknown monkey and that all realms were in turmoil.
• The Ox Demon outside the Great World dismissed the warning, insisting it was stronger than Ming and could handle the monkey.
• The cautious Ox Demon departed, hoping its companion would flee if it encountered the monkey, while the other continued corrupting the world below.

Chu He prepared the Barbarian Domain to handle increasingly powerful worlds by emphasizing concealment and acting skills while the Chaos Beads accumulated energy. After briefly entering the River of Time through the beads, he withdrew when he sensed danger and resolved to return only when stronger.

• Chu He set assessments for the Barbarian Domain focused on acting skills and Breath Concealment Technique, since its high-end fighters had reached a bottleneck.
• Chu He continued fishing for sheep, seasonings, and herbs, then roasted the sheep while observing the people returning from other worlds and rewarding impressive performances with lottery prizes.
• Chu He merged his consciousness with the light of the three thousand Chaos Beads and entered the River of Time and Chaos.
• Chu He encountered a gigantic mouth in the river and immediately withdrew without trying to investigate it.
• A pair of eyes searched the river for the intruder but found nothing and closed again.
• Chu He decided to wait until he was stronger before returning to the River of Time to try swimming upstream.

Chu He sensed that swimming in the River of Time had improved his spiritual soul, then discovered Ye Feng had crossed into an unopened high-level world. Watching through the Myriad Worlds Tower, Chu He saw Ye Feng hesitate before a dangerous cliff, then resolve to pursue the treasure after voices urged him to strive harder for the Heavenly Court.

• Chu He noticed the River of Time had improved his spiritual soul but dimmed the three thousand Origin Beads, so he decided the benefit was not worth another swim.
• Chu He received word that Ye Feng had entered a high-level world through cross-world teleportation and recognized him through the Myriad Worlds Tower mark.
• Ye Feng, disguised as a golden-furred monkey, reached a cliff filled with demonic energy and considered turning back.
• Voices in Ye Feng’s mind urged him to risk entering the cliff to gain power and stand out in the Heavenly Court’s selection.
• Ye Feng accepted their reasoning, raised his head toward the cliff, and resolved to move forward.

Ye Feng followed Mister Yi’s guidance into a demon-tainted cliff and placed a jade pendant against a boulder, activating a strange light that swept away the demonic qi. Chu He watched from the Myriad Worlds Tower’s mark as hidden observers waited above the cliff and the displaced demonic qi began to gather beneath gathering thunderclouds.

• Chu He watched Ye Feng descend into the abandoned palaces beneath the cliff while Mister Yi urged him onward.
• Demonic qi trembled nearby, and Chu He noticed a white-browed old man and a Green Skirt Girl waiting above the cliff.
• Ye Feng sensed danger and hesitated, but Mister Yi reassured him by recalling his past successes and discoveries.
• Ye Feng pressed the jade pendant against a boulder, causing the cliff to rotate and a hazy light to sweep away the demonic qi.
• The displaced demonic qi began gathering as thunderclouds formed and purple lightning gathered overhead.

A Demon Hoof forced a controlling pill into Ye Feng and kicked him through an ancient gate as Purple Divine Thunder struck. The White-Brow Old Ancestor sent the Green Skirt Girl after him, leaving them to compete for the inheritance within.

• A Demon Hoof suppressed Ye Feng and forced a demonic control pill into his mouth while Chu He watched from the Myriad Worlds Tower mark.
• The White-Brow Old Ancestor told the Green Skirt Girl that the opportunity below could help protect the Human Clan and prepared to send her through the gate.
• Purple Divine Thunder struck the Demon Hoof, which kicked Ye Feng toward the gate before sacrificing its remaining strength to delay the White-Brow Old Ancestor.
