• Waves God General Rippling marked a teleportation coordinate, and the Heaven Banyan Light Shuttle transported the Grade A Jupiter Ring, the Devouring Planet, and three Wandering Earths away.
• Cheng Han’s clone watched the Star Sea and wondered why the Eternal Celestial Gods were destroying their own home.

As the Calamity Insect Swarm devastated the Star Realm of Gods, Cheng Han fled the evacuation zone and discovered a stranded War Hawk drifting through the star sea. Its pilot, Lu Bing, remained trapped and starving, and someone suddenly knocked on his cockpit.

• Cheng Han used Leap of Radiance to teleport away from the Star Realm of Gods, then crossed hundreds of thousands of kilometers as evacuations emptied the Jupiter Rings.
• Cheng Han noticed that the Star Realm of Gods had dimmed and deduced that at least a million Celestial God stars had been destroyed.
• Cheng Han found a damaged Bird Hunter Eagle embedded in a Withered Tree Ball and deduced how its pilot had drifted there after an accident.

• Someone knocked on the cockpit, startling Lu Bing.

Lu Bing encountered a mysterious figure who revealed that the Celestial God Star Sea was about to be destroyed and gave him Wings of Light to escape. After rejoining the evacuation force, Lu Bing learned that the figure was most likely a God Clone.

• Lu Bing mastered the wings, flew to Jupiter Ring, and confirmed that the Myriad Radiance People had evacuated.
• Lu Bing caught up with the evacuation force, where the Mystic Supervisor identified his mysterious helper as most likely a God Clone.

Cheng Han concealed his identity while fleeing the doomed Star Realm of Gods and discovered that its accelerating destruction had let him analyze an incomplete Gravity Law. He expected to master it as the Star Realm was devoured, while wondering what had driven the thirteen Eternal Celestial Gods to destroy their own world.

• A Mystic Supervisor identified the Wings of Light that saved Lu Bing as Law-level power and reported that a Celestial Race Deity might have fled the Star Realm of Gods.
• A Divine General examined Lu Bing, confirmed the power was Law-level, and ordered the army to prioritize evacuation over investigating the Deity.
• Cheng Han observed that the Star Realm of Gods had lost one percent of its matter and that the accelerating devouring was already affecting gravity.
• Three days later, Cheng Han watched the Star Disk shrink by a tenth and analyzed an incomplete Gravity Law from the world's changing Laws.
• Cheng Han predicted that he could fully master the Gravity Law once half the Star Realm of Gods had been devoured and thanked the thirteen Eternal Celestial Gods.

As the Celestial God Star Sea collapsed, Cheng Han completed the Gravity String and watched Rong Huang, Star Emperor, and Silence Emperor combine their powers to restrain its devouring. Cheng Han's attempt to deduce what would happen next overwhelmed him, and he collapsed after glimpsing a shocking scene.

• Cheng Han completed the Gravity String as the Celestial God Star Sea's collapse revealed more divine laws.
• Cheng Han fled the expanding abnormal gravity and realized the God Emperors had begun their attack.

• The three God Emperors weakened the abnormal gravity and restrained the devouring of the remaining stars.
• Cheng Han performed a Deduction, but the image turned to static, his Spirit Value fell to 1 point, and he passed out after seeing a shocking scene.

Cheng Han recovered from the backlash of observing the thirteen Eternal Celestial Gods and concluded that they had gone mad and devoured one another. A second Deduction revealed the name Salong in their anguished voices, leaving Cheng Han to suspect that Salong had caused their madness.

• Cheng Han woke after being unconscious for a day and saw that the three God Emperors’ strike had temporarily slowed the Star Realm of Gods’ destruction.
• Cheng Han recalled seeing thirteen winged figures devouring one another and suspected they were the Eternal Celestial Gods, driven mad by an unknown plot.
• The Star Realm of Gods resumed swallowing its surroundings, and Cheng Han estimated that the God Emperors’ actions had bought the Myriad Radiance People about four days to evacuate.
• Cheng Han performed another Deduction and heard several Eternal Celestial Gods curse someone named Salong before the Halo collapsed.
• Cheng Han suspected Salong had secretly caused the Eternal Celestial Gods to go mad, but he had no evidence.

Cheng Han discovered that the mastermind had destroyed the Celestial God Star Sea to nurture an Epoch Calamity by making the thirteen Eternal Celestial Gods devour one another. As the Star Realm of Gods collapsed and the Calamity neared birth, the three God Emperors admitted they could not stop it and fled.

• Cheng Han saw the Star Realm of Gods destabilizing as the laws of gravity collapsed and realized the Black Hole region would consume only most of the world before it shattered.
• Cheng Han's third Deduction revealed that the thirteen Eternal Celestial Gods' Divine Bodies had fused into a Black Egg, and the vision's mental shock left his eyes destroyed.
• Cheng Han understood that the mastermind had engineered the world's collapse to nurture the Epoch Calamity and had used the Calamity Insect Swarm to distract the races.
• The three God Emperors watched the Black Egg devour the remaining Divine Bodies and acknowledged that their failure to unite had allowed the Calamity to revive.
• As the Star Realm of Gods went dark and the egg's heartbeat intensified, the three God Emperors fled on their green leaf, fearing they could not stop the Calamity.

After the Celestial God Star Sea collapsed, Cheng Han survived a void storm and arrived in an unknown world, where he disguised himself as a local Pointed Ear and settled outside a village. Blind and unable to regrow his eyes, he pondered how to find other Calamities still gestating.

• The destruction of the Celestial God Star Sea swept Cheng Han into a void storm, carrying him to a distant cluster of worlds.
• Cheng Han entered a nearby Small World and used a corpse and a Life Element secret technique to disguise himself as one of its natives, though his eyes remained empty sockets.
• The village Elders refused to let Cheng Han live inside the village but allowed him to stay on its outskirts, where children nicknamed him the blind one and watched him from the grass.
• Cheng Han caught a black fish and pretended to sense the end of the world, frightening the children into fleeing.
• Cheng Han wondered whether there were other Calamities and how he could locate them before they matured.

Cheng Han chopped wood with uncanny precision while the village children watched, then built a cabin and waited for the Elders to learn about him. That evening, the Ancestral Spirit noticed him but remained wary and refused to communicate.

• The village children argued over whether Cheng Han could chop trees, then secretly followed the sound of his axe into the woods.
• The children saw Cheng Han repeatedly strike the same spot on a tree and fled when he turned toward them and spoke of impending death.
• Cheng Han resumed chopping, explaining that he planned to build a cabin and had settled nearby to study the village’s Ancestral Spirit.
• Cheng Han felled a large tree and expected the village Elders to investigate after hearing about him from the children.
• Cheng Han built a small cabin and grilled fish; the Ancestral Spirit focused its attention on him but stayed vigilant and silent.

Cheng Han used his deductions about an approaching drought to alarm the village’s people, and the village elder came to visit that night. After Cheng Han explained why White Cedar was unsuitable for building houses, the elder addressed him as a wise man.

• Cheng Han caught a black fish with a straight stone needle while nine children and two village warriors watched.
• Cheng Han warned that a prolonged drought would bring true destruction, and the two warriors left to report his words to the elder.
• That night, the elder arrived at Cheng Han’s cabin with the two warriors as blue meteors crossed the sky.
• Cheng Han explained that air chambers in burning White Cedar caused it to crack, and the elder praised his profound knowledge.

Cheng Han, calling himself blind eye, warned the Elder that a severe drought was coming and claimed a dream had shown him the destruction of the Celestial God Star Sea. He presented a mysterious black stone that left one of the Elder’s attendants stunned.

• Cheng Han told the Elder that the river would dry up in five months and cited strange signs in other villages as evidence of an unprecedented disaster.
• The Elder questioned why Cheng Han had traveled widely, while the Ancestral Spirit’s lie-detecting power failed to expose him.
• Cheng Han described his dream of the Celestial God Star Sea, and flames formed images of its destruction as the two attendants reacted skeptically.
• Cheng Han said a stone had fallen near his home half a year earlier and conjured a pitch-black stone onto the table.
• One attendant touched the stone, heard a thunderclap in his mind, and cried out to the Ancestral Spirit.

Cheng Han explained that the black stone was a World Stone containing memories of the Celestial God Star Sea’s destruction, and asked to meet the village’s Ancestral Spirit. The Elder left without agreeing, and Cheng Han resolved to intimidate the villagers the next day.

• A burly man fainted after touching the World Stone and receiving a torrent of information, while the Elder stopped his companion from accusing Cheng Han.
• Cheng Han identified the black stone as a World Stone formed from fragments of the destroyed Celestial God Star Sea and described how he had obtained it.
• The Elder borrowed the Ancestral Spirit’s power to touch the World Stone and experienced the destruction in vivid detail.
• Cheng Han asked to meet the Ancestral Spirit, explaining that it could look at the culprit behind the Celestial God Star Sea’s destruction when he could not.
• The Elder departed to consider Cheng Han’s request, and Cheng Han decided to intimidate the villagers the next day.

Strange phenomena caused by Cheng Han's manipulation of gravity disrupted the village, and Elder realized that the Ancestral Spirit could only suppress the effects. When the river began flowing backward and upstream water threatened the farmland, Elder decided to confront Blind Man.

• The village river surged with huge waves, which Elder briefly suppressed with the Ancestral Spirit's power before they returned.
• Elder learned that a force in the river was accumulating under suppression and suspected Blind Man was responsible.
• Smoke from burning firewood sank to the ground, and the Ancestral Spirit could neither identify nor counter the power causing it.
• Cheng Han's Gravity Law effects ended, but the river water in the village began flowing backward.
• A guard warned Elder that upstream water would reach the farmland in about a quarter of an hour, so Elder decided to see Blind Man.

Elder visited Blind Man and experienced an illusion of the Celestial God Star Sea, where Cheng Han showed him the extinct Celestial Race’s former glory. Seeing their prosperous world made Elder believe that his own world faced a similar crisis.

• Elder surrendered to Blind Man’s demands and entered the cabin, where he found himself in an illusion of the Celestial God Star Sea.
• Cheng Han taught Elder to move through the star sea and showed him his Wings of Light, which belonged to the extinct Celestial Race.
• Cheng Han said the World Stone’s arrival might not have been a coincidence and suggested the Celestial God Star Sea’s World Will had guided it to convey a message.
• Elder followed Cheng Han to a Celestial God Star and saw a crowd gathered for the Celestial Race’s newborn baptism ceremony.
• Elder reflected on the vanished race’s prosperity, accepted that his own world faced a destruction crisis, and remarked that Blind Man’s persuasion was clever.

Cheng Han showed the Elder the destruction of the Celestial God Race, frightening him into seeking help for their world’s hidden crisis. The Elder brought Cheng Han to the Ancestral Spirit, where Cheng Han warned that a terrifying existence might destroy every nearby world, though he could not prove it.

• Cheng Han showed the Elder a vision of the Celestial God Race’s newborns and adults exploding before their planet shattered.
• The frightened Elder begged Cheng Han to help and agreed to take him to the Ancestral Spirit the next morning.
• Cheng Han suspected the World Stone had come to their world because a calamity was approaching, while the Elder left and told the guards the river had returned to normal.
• The Elder escorted Cheng Han to the true Ancestral Spirit Hall, where the Ancestral Spirit manifested as a glowing walking stick.
• Cheng Han warned the Ancestral Spirit that a terrifying existence might be watching their world and all nearby worlds, but admitted he could not prove it.

Cheng Han persuaded and coerced Ancestral Spirits into joining his effort to locate the threat facing the world, using their sensitivity to tribulation and proof that others had agreed. He continued gathering their power and tokens, ending with a water-vat Ancestral Spirit submitting after he threatened to destroy it.

• Cheng Han showed the Elder a vast flock of migrating birds, convinced him that the world faced an approaching crisis, and gained his agreement to unite the Ancestral Spirits to sense the enemy's location.
• The Elder gave Cheng Han an Ancestral Spirit Imprint, and Cheng Han left the Ancestral Spirit Hall despite its restrictions.
• Cheng Han entered a nearby humanoid Ancestral Spirit's hall, discovered her fear of his eyes and attachment to her toys, and forced her to hand over Ancestral Spirit Light and agree to help.
• Cheng Han visited Ancestral Spirits one after another, using their tokens and the growing number of willing participants to persuade them, and resorting to force against the stubborn ones.
• Cheng Han pinned a water-vat Ancestral Spirit down and threatened to smash it, forcing it to stop struggling and submit.

Cheng Han created the Ancestral Spirit Secret Net, connecting Ancestral Spirits and giving them new ways to communicate and travel. As the network grew, he realized it could lead to an auxiliary Divine Throne, but only if he could prevent the Ancestral Spirit Realm from being destroyed.

• Cheng Han collected Imprints from more than fifty thousand Ancestral Spirits, many of whom began handing them over as soon as he arrived.
• A little girl Ancestral Spirit followed Cheng Han's instructions to connect to the Ancestral Spirit Secret Net and began the Small World's first online chat with a walking-stick Ancestral Spirit.
• The little girl became an eager guide for new netizens and accepted Cheng Han's task to learn the Spirit Puppet Secret Body Art.
• The little girl created an Avatar, left her territory for the first time, and uploaded the network's first photograph of a vast lake.
• Cheng Han watched the network grow and concluded that it could help him ascend to an auxiliary Divine Throne, provided he stopped the doom threatening the Ancestral Spirit Realm.

Cheng Han used the Ancestral Spirit Secret Net to recruit Ancestral Spirits into missions, where they subdued others with combined attacks and rewards. After uniting nearly all the Ancestral Spirits into twenty legions, he prepared them to conquer the twelve Supernal Ancestral Spirits in exchange for the first cultivation path; the army set out as Cheng Han watched.

• Cheng Han watched the Little Girl lead four Ancestral Spirits to beat a broadsword Ancestral Spirit into surrendering part of its Ancestral Spirit Light, after which it joined the Secret Net and became one of Blind Man’s thugs.
• The broadsword Ancestral Spirit joined a force of two hundred others to defeat a twenty-meter-tall Upper Ancestral Spirit tree, while Cheng Han estimated that he could subdue the remaining Upper, Middle, and Lower Ancestral Spirits within five days.
• Five days later, the Secret Net covered the world except for the territories of the twelve Supernal Ancestral Spirits, and Cheng Han had organized the Ancestral Spirits into twenty legions.
• The Little Girl reached Level 10, became an Upper Ancestral Spirit, and summoned the more than eight thousand members of the First Legion to gather above a lake.
• The Secret Net announced that it would release its first Ancestral Spirit cultivation path after the twelve Supernal Ancestral Spirits were conquered, and the Little Girl rallied the army to attack them.
• The Ancestral Spirit army set out to confront the Supernal Ancestral Spirits as Cheng Han watched and thought they resembled the Fourth Calamity.

Cheng Han observed how the Mountain God used the faith of its people to grow stronger before the Secret Net First Legion invaded its territory. The Mountain God mistook the Legion's wavering defenses for weakness, only to realize too late that the Little Girl Ancestral Spirit had lured it into a trap as a strange chain shot toward God Mountain.

• Cheng Han studied the Mountain God's faith-based cultivation and concluded that its flaws made ascending to a Divine Throne nearly impossible.
• The Mountain God manifested as a giant stone warrior and confronted the arriving Secret Net First Legion.
• The Little Girl Ancestral Spirit stalled the Mountain God while the Legion established the Myriad Spirits Shield, then ordered it to surrender.
• The Mountain God repelled the Legion's Light Orbs and struck the Myriad Spirits Shield with its Giant Shield, believing the Legion was faltering.
• The Little Girl Ancestral Spirit restored the shield's strength, baiting the Mountain God into unleashing a full-power War Axe attack.
• The Mountain God realized it had been tricked as a strange chain shot toward God Mountain.

Cheng Han watched the First and Second Legions defeat the Mountain God by severing its connection to its Law Space, then used its remains to implant a Faith Seed in the Little Girl. As the other legions continued their battles against the remaining Supernal Ancestral Spirits, Cheng Han prepared to unify the realm and locate the tribulation.

• The First Legion lured the Mountain God away from its God Mountain, allowing the Second Legion to bind the mountain with a Soul Shackling Sky Lock and cut off the Mountain God's access to its Law Space.
• The Little Girl and the other Ancestral Spirits subdued the Mountain God and extracted its Ancestral Spirit Light for two days, causing the God Mountain to collapse and the Mountain God's Faith Threads to snap.
• Cheng Han asked the Little Girl to cultivate the Path of Faith, brought her to the Mountain God's remains, and implanted an optimized Faith Seed in her.
• The Little Girl awoke able to see Faith Threads and recognized that the Mountain God's faith had been vast, while Cheng Han's faith techniques were more advanced; she resolved to cultivate and serve him.
• Cheng Han watched the other three legions gain ground against the remaining Supernal Ancestral Spirits and estimated they would unify the realm in ten days, after which he planned to form a Super Consciousness to locate the tribulation.
