After winning the New Book Selection, Zhang Yu discovered that the Chain Law Compendium was created by the Immortal Ancestor and could carry information across a world rollback. He recovered a sealed message from his future self and learned that the Compendium could create genuine Chain Law Diagrams.

• Zhang Yu escaped to the Immortal Grotto-Heaven, but Bai Gusheng and Yuan Sheng followed him with clones and tried to bargain for information about the Chain Law Compendium.
• Bai Gusheng told Zhang Yu that the Immortal Emperors planned to revive the Immortal Ancestor, whom he said had created the Four Books and been killed after connecting Dao Orthodoxies.
• Zhang Yu's clone read the Compendium's account of the Immortal Ancestor's ambitions, then encountered a message beginning with Zhang Yu's own name that he could not remember reading.
• Zhang Yu noticed that the time spent reading exceeded the time he remembered and sealed the Immortal Grotto-Heaven while searching for the cause of his lost memory.
• Zhang Yu found a countdown and sealed future information in a newly created Layer 13, concluding that his future self had sent a message through the Compendium before a world rollback.
• Zhang Yu reopened the Compendium and discovered that it could create genuine Chain Law Diagrams.

Zhang Yu investigated the Immortal Ancestor and considered the risks of using the Chain Law Compendium to create Chain Law Diagrams. After discovering that many existing diagrams had already been created by the book, he fused it into the Feather Scroll while weighing how to use its power.

• Yuan Sheng told Zhang Yu that the Ten Immortal Emperors had erased the Immortal Ancestor’s traces with Supreme Immortal Artifacts, but books preserved clues about him.
• Zhang Yu realized the Chain Law Compendium could create diagrams that might benefit cultivators broadly, though their effects could disrupt industries and provoke powerful enemies.

• Zhang Yu tested the Chain Law Compendium and found that every Chain Law Diagram he already possessed had been created before and could not be recreated.
• Zhang Yu weighed whether to create narrowly usable diagrams or ones that could spread widely, then merged the Chain Law Compendium into the Feather Scroll.

After learning that the Immortal Ancestor might appear in a little over a year, Zhang Yu warned Tai Yuebai and decided to publicize the Chain Law Compendium’s ability to create Chain Law Diagrams. He reported the book to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor and was summoned to Layer 33, while Bu Yingshu was left stunned by his audience with the Immortal Emperor.

• Zhang Yu studied the newly merged Chain Law Compendium, saw his Dao-seeking progress rise to 58%, and asked Bai Gusheng about the Immortal Ancestor’s strength and messages in books.
• After consulting Yuan Sheng, Zhang Yu told Tai Yuebai about the Immortal Ancestor’s possible revival in a year and asked him to contact Ying Xintian about warning Kunxu and sending messages through books.
• Tai Yuebai warned that the message might be a trap set by the Ten Immortal Emperors, but agreed that Ying Xintian still needed to be informed.
• Zhang Yu decided to reveal the Chain Law Compendium’s diagram-creation ability, informed the Evil Gods of his plan, and emailed the Wanfa Immortal Emperor to report the book.
• Bu Yingshu invited Zhang Yu to meet representatives from five Immortal Clans, but the Wanfa Immortal Emperor summoned him through a gate to Layer 33 before he could go.

Zhang Yu met Wanfa Immortal Emperor in the Sea of Ten Thousand Methods, where the Emperor argued that becoming the Endtime Immortal Emperor was the only way to save Kunxu. The Emperor rewarded Zhang Yu with powerful authority and cultivation benefits, then offered to explain how he could return to Earth if he helped him.

• Zhang Yu entered Layer 33 and learned from Jing Hui that the Sea of Ten Thousand Methods contained vast stores of cultivation methods generated by the Immortal Emperor's model.
• Wanfa Immortal Emperor appeared, warned Zhang Yu that an Immortal Emperor would consume Kunxu's resources, and claimed only an Endtime Immortal Emperor could save the world.

• Wanfa Immortal Emperor sent Zhang Yu away and promised to reveal how to return to Earth if Zhang Yu helped him become the Endtime Immortal Emperor.
• After Zhang Yu left, a heavily encrypted message from the future appeared before Wanfa Immortal Emperor, praising his peerless sword.

After Zhang Yu’s audience with the Wanfa Immortal Emperor, he and Tai Yuebai restored their encrypted memories and concluded they had avoided revealing their knowledge of the rollbacks. Zhang Yu then merged a Blade Arts Book into the Feather Scroll, which revealed a warning against trusting future information from outside the scroll.

• The Wanfa Immortal Emperor secretly watched Tai Yuebai’s memories, read the future information in his residence, and copied it before meeting Zhang Yu.
• The Wanfa Immortal Emperor hinted that Zhang Yu could return to Earth and gave him rewards, while Zhan Xian warned Zhang Yu not to trust him and the Sect Examination Clone welcomed his favor.
• After returning to the 16th Layer, Zhang Yu reunited with Tai Yuebai, confirmed that the Immortal Emperor had left no detectable surveillance, and restored his encrypted memories.
• Zhang Yu told Fu Ji and the other evil gods about his rewards, then had Fu Ji reassure Bu Yingshu and persuade the Immortal Clan representatives to support his book-collection plan.
• Bu Yingshu showed the representatives a video of Zhang Yu meeting the Immortal Emperor, and Bu Aixian sent Zhang Yu a Lower-Grade Blade Arts Book.
• Zhang Yu merged the Blade Arts Book into the Feather Scroll and found a message warning him not to believe future information from outside the Feather Scroll.

Zhang Yu read a warning from his future self on the Feather Scroll, then deliberately let the message and his memories vanish so he could deceive even himself. As he used his meeting with the Wanfa Immortal Emperor to secure support for construction, a riot over book collection erupted in the Lower Realm, and Zhang Yu prepared to intervene.

• Zhang Yu read that future information could mislead the Immortal Emperors, exploit their arrogance and greed, and that Ying Xintian was trustworthy; he chose not to preserve the message after meeting an Immortal Emperor.
• Zhang Yu lost the message and his memories, retaining only a sliver of excitement and a small sealed fragment of future information on the Feather Scroll.
• Gao Chongguang warned Zhang Yu that the Immortal Grotto-Heaven construction project was running short of funds, and Zhang Yu said the Immortal Emperor had told him that new policies and funding were coming.
• Yu Xinghan informed Zhang Yu that book collection had led to mass arrests and a riot on Layer 5, and Zhang Yu said he would go there to stop the crackdown.
• When Yu Xinghan questioned how Zhang Yu could enter the Lower Realm so quickly, Zhang Yu said he had contacted the Immortal Emperor.

Zhang Yu obtained an approved Lower Realm Pass through Jing Hui and prepared to travel amid a riot on the Fifth Layer. Encouraged by his conversation with Zhang Yu and the Immortal Emperor’s backing, Yu Xinghan resolved to intervene if the Orthodox Gods escalated the conflict.

• Yu Xinghan learned that Zhang Yu was communicating with the Wanfa Immortal Emperor and wondered if the Emperor might be watching him.
• The Wanfa Immortal Emperor directed Zhang Yu to report minor matters to Jing Hui, who sent him a preapproved Lower Realm Pass to complete.
• Zhang Yu filled out the pass and reflected on how the Immortal Emperor’s support had given him security and advantages.
• After Yu Xinghan ended his call with Zhang Yu, Divine Lord Tiansha asked what Zhang Yu had said, but Yu Xinghan only promised to stop a battle if the Orthodox Gods made their move.
• Yu Xinghan decided to take responsibility for the riot and told Divine Lord Tiansha not to become a Sect Affairs Officer if he feared doing so.

After the Myriad Laws Sect announced that Zhang Yu would create Chain Law Diagrams, cultivators and factions speculated about the enormous economic and political consequences. Zhang Yu drew the sect’s book owners to a meeting and left with their books by claiming the Immortal Emperor wanted to borrow them, leaving the owners wary and bewildered.

• Gao Chongguang read the Spirit Realm discussion about Chain Law Diagrams and realized their creation could bring authority and wealth to Zhang Yu and the Immortal Grotto-Heaven.
• Bu Yuangui explained to Bu Yingshu that Chain Law Diagrams could disrupt industries and Dao struggles, while Bai Gusheng suspected Zhang Yu had gained the ability from the book he had lost.
• Cang Juehuan and other book owners discussed how to profit from their books, then accepted Zhang Yu’s invitation to a meeting about creating Chain Law Diagrams.
• Zhang Yu required attendees to submit their books for inspection, and the owners handed over twenty-one books, including Cang Juehuan’s Great Sage Book.
• Zhang Yu carried all twenty-one books through a gateway to Layer 33 and returned without them, telling the attendees that those above wanted to borrow the books and that he would notify them when they were returned.

Zhang Yu used the Immortal Emperor’s apparent backing to collect books and privately entice cultivators into buying copyrights to methods he had stockpiled. After reaching full Dao-seeking progress in [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy], he examined the Feather Scroll and uncovered accounts of ancient Demon Saints, which might describe history from before World Rollbacks.

• Cang Juehuan and Lian Zizi investigated Zhang Yu, concluded that resisting him was futile, and offered their books while trying to ingratiate themselves with him.
• Zhang Yu privately discussed possible Chain Law Diagram research with Cang Juehuan and Lian Zizi, prompting cultivators to inquire about buying copyrights to the methods he had stockpiled.
• Zhang Yu ended the meeting without giving Bu Yingshu the information she wanted and returned the two flying shuttles she had lent him.
• Zhang Yu sorted the twenty-one collected books and reached one hundred percent Dao-seeking progress in [Cosmic Dao Orthodoxy], gaining greater control over Kunxu’s spatial technology.
• Zhang Yu read the Feather Scroll’s newly persistent text, which described the world-altering deeds of successive Demon Saints, and considered whether it recorded history from before a World Rollback.

Zhang Yu studied the Great Sage Chapter and began spreading an independent spirit realm across his Immortal Grotto-Heaven while negotiating proposals for his next Chain Law Diagram. He uncovered more lost history about a Divine Dynasty erased by repeated world rollbacks, leaving him to suspect that someone had long been manipulating Kunxu’s course.

• Wild Ox, Zhan Xian, and Zhang Yu concluded that generation after generation of book holders had preserved histories erased by World Rollback, and they considered how long the rollback artifact had existed.
• Zhang Yu discovered that the Great Sage Chapter could create spirit realm avatars and a miniature spirit realm, then began using it to expand Fu Ji’s Dark Spirit Realm over his Immortal Grotto-Heaven.
• Zhang Yu instructed Gao Chongguang to sell marked plots in the Immortal Grotto-Heaven with 100-year usage rights and contractual construction requirements.
• Zhang Yu used his control of the Layer 33 gate to silence Dugu Ming’s admonition, then heard the hall master propose a Chain Law Diagram that would improve cultivators’ abilities in exchange for promotion slots and support.
• Lie Jinghong and other cultivators offered cultivation methods and political bargaining chips to influence Zhang Yu’s next Chain Law Diagram, while Zhan Xian and the Sect Examination Clone argued over its effects on lower cultivators.
• Zhang Yu read lost records describing the heavenly tribulation, karmic, and apotheosis Dao orthodoxies and a failed Divine Dynasty, and he suspected a hidden force had repeatedly redirected Kunxu’s history.

Zhang Yu examined the Feather Scroll’s Tribulation Chapter and weighed competing proposals for the Chain Law Diagrams, then sought the Wanfa Immortal Emperor’s guidance. The Ten Immortal Emperors each sent him a Basic Cultivation Method, making clear that they expected his diagrams to follow their choices.

• Zhang Yu discovered that the Tribulation Chapter could use lightning tribulations to temper his Dao Heart and help it keep pace with his rapidly growing magical power and physical strength.
• Fa Liuyuan proposed Chain Law Diagrams that would make cultivators grow into cities as they advanced, transforming Kunxu and reviving large-scale construction, while offering Zhang Yu political support.
• Su Xianchen asked Zhang Yu to include immortal energy cultivation methods in the diagrams and offered public sales and shared copyright in return.
• Zhang Yu asked his clones to report the proposals to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor, who replied with a Basic Cultivation Method.
• The Ten Immortal Emperors sent Zhang Yu one Basic Cultivation Method each, and Zhang Yu realized that he was expected to create the Chain Law Diagrams according to their selections.

Zhang Yu discovered that the Ten Immortal Emperors’ new Chain Law Diagram could strengthen heart aspiring to immortality and weaken the Feather Scroll’s connection to Chain Law orthodoxies, threatening the book and the Immortal Ancestor. As the emperors’ united pressure closed off Zhang Yu’s options, a lost-history message warned him that an earlier attempt to resist had failed, but new voices appeared offering help.

• Zhang Yu studied lost history showing how Ying Xintian united Kunxu, spread Chain Law Diagrams and Dao Seeds, and later suppressed the immortal Dao as ambition and conflict grew.
• Zhang Yu found that the Ten Immortal Emperors’ techniques formed the Immortal Emperor Successor Chain Law Diagram, which improved survival, learning, and resolve while potentially drawing Chain Law orthodoxy away from the book.
• Zhang Yu suspected the emperors intended to weaken the Immortal Ancestor and the Feather Scroll, while Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Pianpian did not answer and Tai Yuebai urged him to protect himself.
• Jing Hui pressed Zhang Yu to follow the emperors’ instructions, and Zhang Yu realized their unity left him with little room to resist.
• The Feather Scroll revealed a past attempt by Zhang Yu to alter the diagram with bloodline technology, which erased descendants’ bodies and failed to stop the emperors.
• As the past Zhang Yu’s message urged submission, new voices appeared in the prologue, promising to help him.

As World Rollback began, Ying Xintian, the Demon Saint, and Heavenly Virtue used the Feather Scroll to send Zhang Yu plans and techniques for opposing the Ten Immortal Emperors. Zhang Yu gained access to the Chain Law Diagram, advanced his preparations, and learned that the Bookholder Conference would precede the Immortal Ancestor’s revival.

• Ying Xintian detected World Rollback and left a message promising to help the person communicating through the book.
• The Demon Saint and Heavenly Virtue also wrote messages, advising Zhang Yu to use the Feather Scroll and gather four additional Dao orthodoxies to challenge the Ten Immortal Emperors.
• Zhang Yu learned that he could parasitize the Chain-Law Dao Orthodoxy and cultivate five great Dao orthodoxies, then practiced the Demon Saint’s Chain-Law Heart Sutra and raised his Dao-seeking progress to 45%.
• Lian Zizi and other cultivators discovered that Zhang Yu’s newly announced Chain Law Diagram did not include the cultivation methods they had bought from him, while Zhang Yu counted the proceeds from selling the copyrights.
• Zhang Yu continued cultivating and collecting books until September of the following year, when he received notice that the Bookholder Conference was starting and inferred that the Immortal Ancestor would revive the next month.

A year after Zhang Yu’s rapid cultivation and land-development success, he prepared for the Bookholder Conference as the Immortal Emperors and sects gathered strength for a looming conflict. Bai Zhenzhen feared the coming storm, while a mysterious man arrived in person to take responsibility from Tai Yuebai and Zhang Yu.

• Zhang Yu defeated Bu Yingshu in their martial spar, and Bu Yingshu asked her father Bu Yuangui how to regain Zhang Yu’s obedience; he advised her to flatter him.
• Liu Qianxian brought Zhang Yu a Lower-Grade Alchemy Book, which Zhang Yu found had failed before absorbing it into his Feather Scroll; he planned to parasitize more Dao Orthodoxies to preserve the Scroll’s functions.
• Ye Xingli established the Law Article “Revision Renewal,” giving Zhang Yu a way to require amendments to Law Articles, while Gao Chongguang expanded the Immortal Grotto-Heaven’s development zone.
• Bai Zhenzhen told Zhang Yu that the Flight Book belonged to a Heaven Sword Sect Bookholder and warned that the sects and Immortal Emperors were quietly preparing for a major battle; Zhang Yu insisted he would win the Bookholder Conference.
• On the 16th Layer of the Myriad Laws Sect, a man arrived to meet Tai Yuebai, thanked him and Zhang Yu, and said the Immortal Class would take over responsibility.

Su Lingyou helped Wang Guiren take over as Bookholder, while Zhang Yu learned that the conference would select a successor to inherit the Immortal Ancestor’s legacy. As the Bookholders gathered at the Immortal Ascension Platform and the conference began, Zhang Yu received a question asking whether he was willing to become the successor.

• Su Lingyou escorted Wang Guiren to meet the former Bookholder, who handed over the books and their records; Wang Guiren demonstrated that he could retrieve the books from the Lower Cultivators’ bodies through the Spirit Realm.
• Bai Gusheng investigated Wang Guiren, ranked the Bookholders, and raised Zhang Yu’s ranking after Zhang Yu refused to trade books.
• Zhang Yu prepared for the conference with 128 armed clones and raised his Creation Emperor Seed to level 9, then reported to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor.
• The Wanfa Immortal Emperor told Zhang Yu that the conference would select a successor to inherit the Immortal Ancestor’s legacy and promised rewards if Zhang Yu won; Zhang Yu suspected the victor would be consumed by an Immortal Emperor but resolved to compete.
• Zhang Yu arrived at the Immortal Ascension Platform, where Qian Airen and Wan Yaosheng promoted rival currencies as the other Bookholders gathered under the Ten Immortal Emperors’ attention.
• The Bookholder Conference began, and Zhang Yu felt the books draw together before a message asked whether he was willing to become the Immortal Ancestor’s successor.

Zhang Yu and the other nine Bookholders spent a century in an Immortal Emperor illusion that tested how they would govern the world. After the illusion ended, a ranking began calculating their performances, but Zhang Yu did not yet know what it measured.

• Zhang Yu accepted the Immortal Ancestor's trial and found himself an Immortal Emperor, while his inner voices argued over whether to rule through domination or restraint.
• Bu Yuangui and Dugu Ming concluded that the ten Bookholders were trapped in separate illusion worlds, and Fa Liuyuan learned that Zhang Yu's simulated power was weaker because he lacked Ascension Realm cultivation.
• Bai Gusheng, Qian Airen, Tian Feibao, and other Bookholders imposed exploitative systems on their worlds, while Zhang Yu built schools and taught people for free.
• Observers criticized Zhang Yu's approach as his predicted ranking fell to last place, and Gao Chongguang worried that Zhang Yu's choices clashed with the Ten Immortal Emperors' ideals.
• After thirty days in reality and a century in the illusion, the Bookholders awoke and the Light Screens merged into a ranking whose numbers began changing year by year.
• Zhang Yu suspected the ranking was tallying each Bookholder's performance across the illusion, but he did not know what the numbers represented.

The Rankings tracked each Bookholder’s world development while excluding the Bookholders’ own share of production, and Zhang Yu and Wang Guiren rose above the others by continuing to invest in their worlds. At year 100, Wang Guiren yielded the Four Books to Zhang Yu, who finished in first place as the other three Books gathered before him.

• Hyperfrequency Heavenly Lord and Redundant Lord of Heaven explained that the Rankings measured each world’s immortal dao gross product, as Yuan Sheng, Tian Feibao, Wan Yaosheng, Qian Airen, and Bai Gusheng each surged into first place through different development methods.
• Bai Gusheng’s and other Bookholders’ growth slowed as they began appropriating their worlds’ output, and Hyperfrequency Heavenly Lord concluded that the Rankings excluded the Bookholders’ personal holdings.
• Cultivators praised Zhang Yu for continuing to invest in his world and lend out his Books, while he recognized similarities between Wang Guiren’s methods and Senior Ying Xintian’s approach in lost history.
• At year 99, Zhang Yu suspected Wang Guiren was Senior Ying Xintian, while Wang Guiren decided to leave the Four Books with Zhang Yu and cover him afterward.
• At year 100, Zhang Yu took first place, and the Book of Transformation, the Flight Book, and the Ascension Book joined the Feather Scroll before him.

Zhang Yu won the Bookholder Conference and received the Immortal Ancestor’s inheritance, uncovering lost histories that suggested rollbacks had transformed several Immortal Emperors. Meanwhile, the Wanfa Immortal Emperor discovered Zhang Yu’s preserved questions to figures in lost history and vowed to bring that history under his rule.

• The Hyperfrequency Heavenly Lord announced Zhang Yu as the conference’s winner, and the Book of Transformation, Flight Book, and Ascension Book merged into him.
• Cultivators across the Spirit Realm reacted to Zhang Yu’s victory, while Bai Gusheng, Tian Feibao, and Qian Airen watched him take possession of their former Books.
• Zhang Yu and Zhan Xian suspected Wang Guiren was a clone of Ying Xintian, who may have yielded first place to Zhang Yu and sought the inheritance to prevent an apocalypse.
• The Feather Scroll absorbed the three Books and opened new chapters, including the Dao Inheritance Chapter, which revealed lost histories of the Heavenly Demon, Blissful Union, and White Bone Immortal Emperors.
• Zhan Xian explained that the Ten Immortal Emperors had defeated a former master of rollbacks and seized the Supreme Immortal Artifact and its authority.
• The Wanfa Immortal Emperor examined Zhang Yu’s preserved questions to figures in lost history, recognized that Zhang Yu had sought their help, and declared that lost history would fall under his rule.

Zhang Yu studied the False Dao Chapter and uncovered the Wanfa Immortal Emperor’s history of surviving world rollbacks and plotting to seize the Supreme Immortal Artifact. Meanwhile, Ying Xintian rallied the sect immortals against the Ten Immortal Emperors while Tai Yuebai worked to gather Zhang Yu’s companions, and the chapter ended with the Wanfa Immortal Emperor finding his chance to strike.

• Zhang Yu and Wild Ox questioned whether the Desolate Ox Great Saint’s memories were connected to the Heavenly Demon Immortal Emperor’s lost history, but they could not resolve the mystery.
• Tai Yuebai went to the Old Days Graveyard to gather Zhang Yu’s companions so they could be sent out with Zhang Yu and support his growth.

• Ying Xintian evaded the Ten Immortal Emperors while sending messages to the sects’ Immortal Venerables and preparing them to unite against the emperors.
• Zhang Yu learned that the Wanfa Immortal Emperor had used repeated rollbacks to build up his strength unnoticed, study the rollback user, and finally find an opportunity to seize the Supreme Immortal Artifact.

Zhang Yu learned how the Wanfa Immortal Emperor had once defeated the rollback wielder, while the Ten Immortal Emperors prepared to seize the Immortal Ancestor’s legacy and launch an irreversible war. The chapter ended as Kunxu was sealed and the Ten Immortal Emperors stripped away the world’s resources to begin the Final Dao Struggle.

• Zhang Yu read that the Wanfa Immortal Emperor had exploited rollback’s cooldown, secretly gathered allies, and ultimately won control of rollback, though the details of his victory were erased from official history.
• Tai Yuebai took Zhang Yu’s companions from Layer 11, while Immortal Roujia and Immortal Yixuan prepared the Reformists for war and Ying Xintian urged Immortal Zhimiao to join the resistance.
• Ying Xintian tried to communicate with the Ten Immortal Emperors as they closed in, but they ignored him; the Wanfa Immortal Emperor reviewed future information revealing that another rollback had begun and the Final Dao Struggle was imminent.
• The Wanfa Immortal Emperor ordered the Eight Divine Departments and immortals of every faction to seal Kunxu, cutting off access to the Spirit Realm and Dharma Realm and diverting the world’s energy.
• At the Bookholder Conference, Bai Gusheng briefly perceived Zhang Yu as the Immortal Emperors’ target before the emperors stripped away his perception, thoughts, body, and power to fuel their ultimate war.

Zhang Yu learned how the Immortal Ancestors’ lineage preserved the Book and fought the Rollbackers, then joined their effort against the Ten Immortal Emperors. After Zhang Yu triggered a battle among the Emperors, aid arrived through bloodlines passed down by generations of mortals, leaving Ying Xintian and the others thirty-three seconds to prevent the Emperors from rolling back time.

• Zhang Yu read the Dao Integration Chapter’s history of the Immortal Ancestors, who created the Book to share Immortal Dao knowledge and whose successors fought the Rollbackers across generations.
• The Immortal Ancestors’ wills revived through the Book and called on Zhang Yu to help them oppose the Ten Immortal Emperors, who had inherited rollback authority.
• Zhang Yu tried to take his own life, prompting the Ten Immortal Emperors to intervene and ignite a battle centered on his body.
• While trapped in darkness, Zhang Yu saw the Book send pleas for help into lost histories and learned that the Immortal Ancestors had also passed support forward through mortal bloodlines.
• The original owner of Zhang Yu’s body appeared in the bloodline inheritance, and Zhang Yu thanked him and his ancestors for carrying the baton forward.
• Ying Xintian received memories from lost histories and began preparing with the others to stop the Ten Immortal Emperors from rolling back time during their thirty-three-second cooldown.

Zhang Yu and the Immortal Ancestor's Will used the Book's power to arm Ying Xintian with Yun Taizhen's [Creation Emperor Seed], Chain Law Diagrams, and restored techniques, letting him break into the Immortal Emperor Domain. Ying Xintian ultimately fell to the Wanfa Immortal Emperor, who revealed that mortal bloodlines had served as bait, while the other nine Immortal Emperors surrounded Zhang Yu.

• Zhang Yu and the Immortal Ancestor's Will bestowed the level 9 [Creation Emperor Seed] on Ying Xintian and infused him with Chain Law Diagrams and cultivation manuals.
• Ying Xintian rapidly strengthened, wounded Immortal Roujia and Immortal Yixuan, and seized some of their authority over the Kunlun Dao Orthodoxy.
• Ying Xintian broke through the Eight Divine Departments and the immortals guarding the upper layers, reaching the thirtieth layer in under three seconds.
• Zhang Yu regained control of his body on the Immortal Ascension Platform and saw Ying Xintian kneeling before the Wanfa Immortal Emperor.
• The Wanfa Immortal Emperor said that mortal bloodlines had been fishing past Immortal Emperors out of history, as the other nine Immortal Emperors surrounded Zhang Yu.

Ying Xintian and the nine Immortal Emperors joined forces against Wanfa, while Zhang Yu was cast out of the displaced Layer 20 and appointed crown prince of the Myriad Laws Sect. The Immortal Ancestor's Will revealed that the apparent rollback plan was a deception and urged Zhang Yu to grow strong enough to join the battle, leaving him to face the coming conflict with renewed resolve.

• Ying Xintian turned the nine Immortal Emperors against Wanfa, who resisted their assault and swallowed Ying Xintian as the battle shattered his body.
• Ying Xintian struck Zhang Yu away from Layer 20, and Wanfa appointed Zhang Yu crown prince while the other Immortal Emperors sent their own messages.
• Zhang Yu examined the unlocked future information and learned that its rollback strategy was a false plan designed to deceive the Immortal Emperors.
• The Immortal Ancestor's Will explained that Ying Xintian had created time for Zhang Yu to grow by drawing the Immortal Emperors into attacking Wanfa, then shared Zhang Yu's previous message asking his future self for aid.
• After the Immortal Ancestor's Will vanished, Zhang Yu received messages from his allies and vowed to grow stronger and join the battle, then asked why Dugu Ming had called him crown prince.

After the Wanfa Immortal Emperor appointed Zhang Yu crown prince, Zhang Yu used his new authority and the Eight Department Gods to secure control of the Myriad Laws Sect and stabilize its territories. Immortal Zhimiao warned him that the Ten Immortal Emperors’ escalating war could produce an Endtime Immortal Emperor, while the other sects still distrusted Zhang Yu as a possible contingency of Wanfa.

• Zhang Yu learned he had become the Myriad Laws Sect’s crown prince and summoned the Eight Department Gods to protect him and maintain order.
• Zhang Yu rejected the Ascension Hall’s refusal to let the Eight Department Gods descend, dismissed thirteen officials, and secured approval for their arrival.
• The Eight Department Gods gave Zhang Yu access to their powers, registered Fu Ji, Xiang Shen, and Bao Shen as his Dharma Treasures, and helped him stabilize the sect and promote his allies.
• Zhang Yu issued himself a temporary Ascension Qualification Certificate and invited Bai Zhenzhen to join the Myriad Laws Sect.
• Immortal Zhimiao explained that the Immortal Emperors’ war would continue until an Endtime Immortal Emperor emerged, and that sect immortals could not break through to challenge them.
• Zhang Yu reasoned that the threat could unite Kunxu’s factions against the Endtime Immortal Emperor, but Immortal Zhimiao warned that the sects had no shared plan and still suspected Zhang Yu might serve Wanfa’s interests.
