The Human Clan discovered that a growing force was making weaker beings hate them, while Chu He completed twenty years of secluded cultivation and received the Book of Curses through his eight-hundredth consecutive check-in.

• Chu He learned that the Book of Curses could detect and record beings with ill intent toward him, then let him curse them at a cost.
• Chu He opened the Book of Curses, hoping it could reveal what was happening with the powerful enemies he had unknowingly offended.

Chu He discovered that Cang Hei and Ancient God, an Eternal Transcendence being, both bore him intense hostility, and he used the Book of Curses to attack them. Ancient God sensed the curse and suspected the person provoking it was also stealing its power, while Chu He resolved to keep Heaven and Earth from changing.

• Chu He saw that Cang Hei was ranked first in the Book of Curses with level-six hostility and cursed it, slightly weakening its influence over Heaven and Earth.
• Chu He found Ancient God on the second page, learned it had achieved Eternal Transcendence, and cursed it at the cost of a drop of vital blood.
• Chu He realized both beings might be Eternal Transcendence experts and resolved to prevent Heaven and Earth from changing so they could not act freely.
• Ancient God sensed a weak attack that stirred its mind and deduced that someone had used a treasure to provoke it.
• Ancient God suspected the attacker was also stealing its power, blamed Cang Hei for allowing an accident, and decided to wait longer.

His curses started driving the Blood-Eyed Golden Peng mad in the Sea of Blood Purgatory, giving two Human Clan experts a chance to escape.

• Chu He saw that his curse had intensified the Ancient God's killing intent, then turned to Xiong Sha and Shen Gu, both Eternal Realm members of the Eight Ancient Clans.
• Chu He found the Blood-Eyed Golden Peng and other targets in the Book of Curses, which listed one hundred names, including twenty Eternal Realm beings.

The Blood-Eyed Golden Peng’s worsening negative state nearly damaged the Void Realm, and it revealed that the force tormenting it had been growing for twenty years. In the Kindling World, Heng Gu reported that the mysterious force targeting the Human Clan had recently stopped growing and sometimes declined, though its cause remained unknown.

• The Blood-Eyed Golden Peng lashed out at experts who rebuked it, while Hun Yuan suppressed its anger and resolved to exploit the Peng’s apparent weakness.
• Hun Yuan, Jin Yao, and Xiong Sha calmed the upheaval in the Sea of Blood Purgatory, and Hun Yuan withdrew while Jin Yao and Xiong Sha questioned the Blood-Eyed Golden Peng about its condition.

• Heng Gu showed Hei Yi and Wen Tao a chart indicating that the mysterious force stirring hostility against the Human Clan had slowed, become erratic, and recently stopped growing or sometimes declined.
• Hei Yi, Wen Tao, and Heng Gu welcomed the change but remained uncertain about its cause and hoped the being behind the force had encountered lasting trouble.

Chu He’s decades of curses drove Blood-Eyed Golden Peng to the brink of death, but Hun Yuan seized an opportunity to attack it in chaos. When Chu He learned that Blood-Eyed Golden Peng had died by someone else’s hand and yielded no curse essence, he was furious.

• Chu He continued intensifying his curses, while Blood-Eyed Golden Peng and several other Eternals suffered increasingly severe demonic thoughts.
• The powerful beings exiled Blood-Eyed Golden Peng to the edge of chaos, where it became restless and gradually lost control.
• Blood-Eyed Golden Peng plunged into the depths of chaos, giving Hun Yuan an opportunity to pursue it unseen.
• Chu He cursed Blood-Eyed Golden Peng, and the Book of Curses reported that it had perished but produced no curse essence.
• Chu He deduced that someone had ambushed Blood-Eyed Golden Peng at its weakest and vowed to curse the culprit to death.

Hun Yuan killed the Blood-Eyed Golden Peng and bathed in the Blood of Eternity, while Chu He chose Jin Yao as his next curse target. A heaven-shaking celebration spread through the worlds, leaving powerful beings confused and Wenmang sensing renewed pressure and malice.

• Hun Yuan ambushed and killed the weakened Blood-Eyed Golden Peng, then refined it and bathed in the Blood of Eternity.
• Hun Yuan sensed that a powerful figure had targeted it, but continued its nirvana and decided the opportunity made them even.
• Chu He accepted that the Blood-Eyed Golden Peng was gone, rolled the Destiny Die, and selected Jin Yao as his next curse target.
• Chu He replenished himself with supreme treasures, then noticed the starry sky tremble with a force that seemed to celebrate alongside Heaven.
• The Azure Dragon, a black shadow in the rune-covered world, and Wenmang each reacted with confusion or alarm as the power of heaven and earth grew stronger.

After an Eternal Realm being died, the Vast World grew more stable, making cultivation barriers sturdier and weakening the destructive force of attacks. Chu He considered what might happen if more powerful beings died, then agreed to travel through the worlds with Zhao Yuling and Lin Xueling while continuing his curses and cultivation.

• Powerhouses across the Vast World sensed heaven and earth change, and an Origin lifeform discovered its attack had become weaker.

• Chu He agreed to travel, noting that he had cursed Jin Yao and Qing He nearly to death before unknown figures claimed the spoils.
• Chu He continued replenishing his power and maintaining his curses while preparing to relax by traveling through worlds connected to the Myriad Worlds Tower.

The Ancient God hesitated to emerge from the chaos as the power of Vast Heaven and Earth revived, while Chu He continued traveling and cultivating after three Eternal Realm deaths. In the Void Realm, Human Clan experts decided to seek information after a fourth Eternal existence fell and shook the realm again.

• The Ancient God wondered who had cursed it and noticed that the power of Vast Heaven and Earth had begun to revive, but it withdrew rather than emerge.
• Chu He traveled with Zhao Yuling, Lin Xueling, and Little Turtle, having reached the eighth layer of the Eighth Turn of the Nine Transformations Golden Body.

• The Void Realm shook for a fourth time, and its aura weakened as another Eternal existence fell.
• The Human Clan experts agreed to go out and investigate so they could understand the crisis and prepare.

After several Eternal Experts from the Eight Ancient Clans died, Shen Gu and Ni Zong succumbed to the curse and threatened to destroy the Void Realm. Shen Gu denounced Heaven and secretly tried to change course to survive, while Hun Yuan reconsidered its plans and weighed withdrawing.

• The deaths of more Eternal Experts destabilized the Void Realm and deepened the curse affecting Shen Gu and Ni Zong.
• Shen Gu lost control, refused to enter the chaos, and threatened to overturn the Void Realm unless Ni Zong joined it.
• Ni Zong emerged in a savage rage and agreed, leaving the other gathered powerful beings facing two threats to the Void Realm.
• Hun Yuan considered abandoning its plans because it could not safely attack the maddened experts within the Void Realm.
• Shen Gu condemned Heaven and claimed its goal was to kill it, while privately suspecting who was behind the deaths and trying to change course to survive.

Shen Gu openly denounced Cang Hei and urged the Void Realm’s powerhouses to join him in attacking it, exposing his belief that their hopes of transcendence were part of a deception. The powerhouses refused to join him, leaving Shen Gu determined to overturn everything rather than accept his impending end.

• Shen Gu named Cang Hei and condemned it for spreading chaos, usurping Heaven and Earth, and treating living beings as disposable.
• A thunderous sound answered from the level ground, and Shen Gu responded with a contemptuous snort and a palm strike.
• Shen Gu called on the powerhouses to help him trace calamity to its source and destroy Cang Hei, but they showed no willingness to join him.
• Shen Gu claimed the powerhouses’ plans and hopes of Eternal Transcendence were fabricated, and that Cang Hei intended the Void Realm to follow a bloody path.
• Shen Gu revealed that he had once expected a certain opportunity but now believed he would die before it came, so he chose to expose everything and risk throwing Heaven and Earth into chaos.

Shen Gu defied Heaven and tried to persuade the Eternal Experts that Cang Hei had turned the Void Realm into a prison and planned to sacrifice them all. When they hesitated, Shen Gu shattered a time-wielding divine pearl and released an undetectable force.

• Shen Gu cursed Cang Hei as the Void Realm cracked under Heaven’s fury, but noticed that Heaven’s response was weaker than before.
• The Eternal Experts surrounded Shen Gu and Ni Zong, aiming to protect the Void Realm while urging Shen Gu to discuss matters calmly.
• Shen Gu claimed Cang Hei had made the Void Realm a prison, suppressed two of the Eight Ancient Clans, and planned to sacrifice all living beings.
• Shen Gu insisted that Cang Hei was at its weakest and urged the experts to find its flaw before their chance vanished.
• As the experts remained hesitant, Shen Gu shattered a deep azure divine pearl infused with the power of time, releasing a force they could barely detect.

Chu He traveled with Zhao Yuling, Lin Xuelin, and Little Turtle until a disturbance shook the entire Vast Heaven and Earth and strengthened its suppressive force. Cang Tian, who claimed to have once ruled the Vast Heaven and Earth, appeared and warned Chu He that his efforts to preserve the world’s balance had made him an enemy of a force opposed to Cang Tian.

• Chu He enjoyed traveling with Zhao Yuling, Lin Xuelin, and Little Turtle, finding their company eased his loneliness.
• After Chu He finished cursing Shen Gu, a brief disturbance shook the Vast Heaven and Earth and increased the world’s power and suppressive force.
• Zhao Yuling joined Chu He and said the tremor had greatly suppressed her strength, and Chu He explained that the change had affected the entire heavens and earth.
• Cang Tian transported Chu He from the Firmament Sea into eternal darkness and introduced himself as a former ruler of the Vast Heaven and Earth.
• Cang Tian told Chu He that his actions had strengthened the world’s balance, earned the hatred of Cang Tian’s enemy, and said he had come to warn him.

Cang Tian warned Chu He not to push Cang Hei into desperation, then vanished as Zhao Yuling remained unaware of their exchange. In the Void Realm, the heavens backed down from suppressing Shen Gu and issued a divine edict calling for the Human Clan’s extermination, leaving its powerhouses fearing a new hunt.

• Cang Tian warned Chu He that Cang Hei might summon another powerful existence if pushed too far, and urged him to preserve the current balance.
• Cang Tian disappeared, and Chu He returned to Zhao Yuling without her noticing anything unusual.
• The Void Realm’s powerhouses refused to fully cooperate with the heavens, and the heavens let the world’s turmoil subside rather than risk further losses suppressing Shen Gu.
• Shen Gu took the heavens’ retreat as proof its gamble had worked and renewed its fighting spirit.
• The heavens issued a divine edict demanding the Human Clan’s extermination, shocking the Human Clan powerhouses.
• The Human Clan powerhouses worried that a large reward would encourage others to hunt them and waited to learn what the heavens would offer.

Cang Hei offered Eternal Transcendence to anyone who swore a Blood Oath to hunt the Human Clan, sending Eternal Experts rushing to claim the contracts. As Human Clan experts faced what seemed like certain extinction, a group of Eternal beings arrived and said they had come to protect them.

• Cang Hei revealed a divine stele offering eight Blood Oath contracts and promised its allies Eternal Transcendence in exchange for exterminating the Human Clan.
• Eternal Experts abandoned their confrontation with Shen Gu and surged toward chaos to seize the contracts.
• Human Clan experts saw the decree, despaired at the threat of a widespread hunt, and resolved to fight rather than flee when Eternal auras descended upon them.
• The Eternal beings told the Human Clan experts they had come to protect them and take them away from the other Eternal Experts.

Chu He recognized that his curses had driven Cang Hei toward uncontrolled hostility, so he decided to slow his attacks and strengthen himself before targeting it again. In the Void Realm, Shen Gu saw the eased curse as a chance to survive, while eight Eternal Experts remained deadlocked over who would enter the Vast Heaven and Earth to investigate the Human Clan.

• Chu He saw Cang Hei's hostility exceed its previous limit and decided to pause his offensive while he developed his strength.
• Chu He relaxed and traveled through various worlds with Zhao Yuling and Lin Xueling.
• Shen Gu sensed that the curse had weakened, concluded that its decision had earned it an opportunity, and reflected on its lack of freedom to choose.
• Shen Gu searched for an explanation for Cang Hei's hatred of the Human Clan but found no unusual traits among them.
• Eight Eternal Experts gathered at the Void Realm's gate, but they could not force Shen Gu and Ni Zong to surrender the Humans they protected.
• The eight Eternal Experts learned that only one of them could enter the Vast Heaven and Earth, and none wanted to risk becoming a path-clearing sacrifice for the others.

After a millennium of secluded cultivation, Chu He reached the Nine Revolutions Level just as the great upheaval began and the Eternal beings invaded the Vast Heaven and Earth. He saved the Human Clan by suppressing the invaders, then prepared to confront Cang Hei and the approaching Ancient God.

• Chu He completed his tenth Super Check-In, received the Heaven-Earth Exchange, and concluded that ordinary Eternal beings could not threaten him.
• Eight Eternal beings entered the Vast Heaven and Earth, and the Human Clan gathered its forces to face the calamity at Ancient Cang Domain.
• The Eternal beings destroyed the Kindling World and threatened to exterminate the Human Clan, but Chu He arrived and pinned all eight with one finger.
• Chu He pulled Shen Gu and Ni Zong from the gateway and realized Cang Hei had opened a breach for the Ancient God and other powerful beings.
• Chu He cursed the approaching enemies, donned his Cosmic Armor, and raised the Sky-Splitting Bow as the Void Realm's inhabitants fled toward the gateway.
