College True Lord pursued Zhang Yu to capture him but was stopped by True Lord Zhanxian, who had trapped Zhang Yu and the others inside the Myriad Rivers and Mountains Painting. Inside the painting, Zhang Yu weighed escaping against approaching the Evil Gods’ lair and began studying True Lord Tuntian’s cultivation method as he recovered his strength.

While trapped in the Myriad Rivers and Mountains Painting, Zhang Yu cultivated the Myriad Transformations Self-Sufficient Profound Scripture and refined True Lord Tianxiang’s bloodline to strengthen his clones. Outside, Xi Shen took charge of Zhang Yu’s conversion, but Zhang Yu demanded to meet a higher-ranking Evil God just as Xiang Shen arrived and backed him.

Trapped inside the Myriad Rivers and Mountains Painting, Zhang Yu cultivated the Myriad Transformations Self-Sufficient Profound Scripture and the Mount Sumeru King Scripture while Xi Shen tried to pressure him into becoming a believer. He then used his Descendant of Immortals power and the Mount Sumeru King Scripture to tear open the painting and emerge through the crack.

• Zhang Yu tore open the Myriad Rivers and Mountains Painting, freed Arghu True Lord, Xuan Hu True Lord, True Lord Tianzhi, and True Lord Tianxiang, and helped them defeat Xi Shen’s guards and capture Xi Shen.

• Divine Lord Ci Ji and Azure Wood Divine Lord faced the apparent collapse of their side, then saw Zhang Yu’s avatar light up with his message: “Master, I’m here.”

As Zhang Yu’s stored power ran low, Zhanxian began using the Hell Soul Washing Scripture against him.

• As Zhang Yu’s stored power ran low, True Lord Zhanxian charged again, wielding Sword Qi and activating the Hell Soul Washing Scripture against him.

True Lord Zhanxian used the Hell Soul Washing Scripture to overwhelm Zhang Yu with memories, but Zhang Yu resisted and turned the battle around before the Righteous Qi Alliance suppressed him. Bai Zhenzhen arrived to break their hold, and Zhanxian recognized that her Extreme Emotion Sword Qi wielded the one force he could not transform.

• True Lord Zhanxian found no past-life memories in Zhang Yu and instead forced memories of his own past lives into Zhang Yu’s mind, showing him a cycle of exploitation and loss.

• Bai Zhenzhen’s Extreme Emotion Sword Qi forced Zhanxian to evade, reminding him of Fu Xiantian’s warning that emotion was the one power he could never transform.

Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen fought their way through the Righteous Qi Alliance’s overwhelming Nascent Soul forces and defeated True Lord Zhanxian, turning the battle in the Ten Schools’ favor. With the Array Core secured, the Divine Transformation leaders planned to reverse the Grand Star River Formation and trap the Righteous Qi Alliance, while Zhang Yu wondered why Fu Xiantian had not used that strategy earlier.

• Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen joined forces to break through hundreds of Righteous Qi Alliance Nascent Soul True Lords and confront True Lord Zhanxian.
• Zhang Yu unleashed the Extreme Emotion Sword Qi he had accumulated, and True Lord Zhanxian died after questioning whether emotion could change him.

Zhang Yu and the Ten Schools discovered that Fu Xiantian had gathered battlefield energy to activate the Great Nirvana Final Scene Profound Seal, which threatened to crush Layers 2 through 5. As the Deity Transformations struggled to hold up the falling sky, Zhang Yu recruited workers from across Kunxu and secured vast funds to speed up the formation renovations.

• Zhang Pianpian told Zhang Yu that Fu Xiantian had buried charging pipelines that collected Spirit Vein power and energy released in battle, funneling it toward an object inside the Grand Star River Formation.
• Spark True Lord discovered that the object was a Sect-Protecting Grade Dharma Treasure, and the Great Nirvana Final Scene Profound Seal began forcing the Fifth Layer's sky downward.
• Fu Xiantian revealed that he had activated the seal to kill everyone across Layers 2 through 5, sacrificed himself as its artifact spirit, and sent his reincarnated bodies into it.
• The Deity Transformations of both sides tried to resist the collapsing sky; Divine Lord Ci Ji refused to open the formation, insisting they hold out while the outer formation was modified.
• Zhang Yu offered triple wages to recruit workers from Layers 2 through 5, including Xiang Shan, and secured financial support from the Deity Transformation Divine Lords to accelerate construction.

Zhang Yu raided the Righteous Qi Alliance’s stores and committed ten billion Spirit Coins to a mass recruitment drive to expand the Myriad Star Formation and stop the sky collapse. As workers flooded into the Fifth Layer, Fu Xiantian invited Zhang Yu to the New World and accused him of following the Evil God Fortune God.

• Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen broke into Righteous Qi Alliance strongholds and seized supplies to fund wages and the sky-mending project.
• Flowing Gold True Lord urged Righteous Qi Alliance members to take jobs at Zhang Yu’s worksites, while Chain Pivot Divine Lord failed to deter Zhang Yu from continuing the raids.
• Zhang Yu sold the seized goods, recruited Soul Cultivators, and broadcast an offer of triple wages and unlimited work funded by ten billion Spirit Coins.
• Cultivators from Kunxu Layers 2 through 5 streamed into the Fifth Layer, accelerating construction as the company’s users and funds surged.
• Fu Xiantian questioned whether Zhang Yu’s sacrifice was worthwhile, invited him to the New World, and asked whether he followed the Evil God Fortune God.

After Hundred Billion Sky Mending slowed but failed to stop the descending Sky Dome, Zhang Yu issued Feather Bonds to raise funds for activating the Divine Power Network and fighting back. The people of Kunxu bought the bonds in droves, leaving Zhang Yu with immense resources and crushing debts as the Heavenly Court’s Talisman Arts began to awaken.

• Fu Xiantian revealed that he had deduced Zhang Yu’s connection to the Fortune God and urged Zhang Yu to join his plan, but Zhang Yu realized the conversation had been an assessment.
• Zhang Yu and his allies accelerated the Myriad Star Formation renovation, and the completed work slowed the Sky Dome’s descent without stopping it.
• As the Sky Dome continued falling and workers began to despair and flee, Zhang Yu rejected Zhang Pianpian’s suggestion to prepare an evacuation and announced the sale of high-interest Feather Bonds.
• People across Kunxu Layers 2 through 5 bought Feather Bonds, including Le Mulan, Yu Xinghan, Bai Zhenzhen, and cultivators from multiple realms and schools.
• Zhang Yu poured the bond proceeds into the Divine Power Network, awakening the long-silent official Talisman Arts as his debts grew to an enormous sum.

• Bai Zhenzhen, Spark True Lord, Chang Buxiu, the Deity Transformation Divine Lords, and countless others charged the Sky Dome to support Zhang Yu.
• Fu Xiantian overpowered the resistance and resumed the Sky Dome’s descent, but a vast rift opened as Zhang Yu’s 10 billion Spirit Coins drew the Heavenly Court to Kunxu.
