Shi Yi summoned the Golden Great Dao and drew the beings of Nine Heavens Ten Earths into the Void Great Rift, while revealing that he meant to make them pay through a gradual plan of exploitation rather than indiscriminate slaughter. After three months, enormous armies had gathered under his command, leaving him worried that the trusting recruits might all be lost in the coming battle.

• Shi Yi placed Shi Hao in command of the main army and assigned Lingxiao Holy Mother's forces to a defensive echelon behind his Million Undying Heavenly Soldiers.
• Seeing ancient immortals and nearly all of Nine Heavens Ten Earths' strength gather at his order, Shi Yi worried that they might all be buried in the Void Great Rift.

Shi Yi ordered a Billion Strong Army into the Void Great Rift, where they boarded a vast bloodstained ancient ship. After discovering deadly bloodstains and ancient battle marks, the army followed Shi Yi’s rules for studying and trading the techniques found aboard the ship.

• Shi Yi ordered the Billion Strong Army to enter the Void Great Rift, and Shi Hao led them onto the bloodstained ancient ship.
• Qi Daolin examined the ship’s bloodstains, discovered that they could kill powerful beings, and found a half-destroyed golden skeleton nearby.
• Shi Hao announced that soldiers must not touch the bloodstains, while generals were responsible for enforcing the order.
• The army discovered battle marks across the ship and began discussing the powerful ancient techniques they might reveal.
• Shi Yi allowed the army to study the battle marks and trade what they learned through the Human Emperor Seal, which would assess exchanges and oversee fair transactions.

Shi Yi’s Human Emperor Seal established a trusted trading platform that spread the Faith Merit system and let the Nine Heavens Ten Earths exchange cultivation resources and techniques. As Shi Yi considered the Bloodstained Ancient Ship’s value and how to bring it back, Shi Hao led an expedition through it and encountered a mysterious black vat.

• Shi Yi used the Human Emperor Seal to supervise and appraise trades, and living beings across the Nine Heavens Ten Earths exchanged merit for techniques and resources.
• Shi Yi collected vast amounts of cultivation resources and millions of traded techniques while considering how to upgrade the Human Emperor Sword and transport the Bloodstained Ancient Ship to the Eight Regions.
• Shi Hao led sect leader-level beings and others to explore the ship, gathering its remaining treasures for Shi Yi to distribute.

Shi Hao led the army across a vast field of vats filled with polluted Immortal Blood and halted when they reached a mountain of corpses on the Bloodstained Ancient Ship. The battlefield revealed a forgotten catastrophe from the Emperor Fall Era, and the army resolved to follow Shi Yi and restore the Nine Heavens Ten Earths’ former glory.

• Shi Hao used his divine sense to discover that the mountain-sized vats contained deadly, corrupted Immortal Blood and assigned soldiers to guard them.
• Shi Hao’s army crossed more than a million li and passed over a hundred thousand vats while the generals speculated that the ship was a coffin from the Emperor Fall Era.
• Shi Hao ordered the army to camp rather than enter the corpse mountain, fearing the danger ahead and refusing to risk his soldiers.
• The soldiers saw the remains of True Dragons, True Phoenixes, other ancient creatures, and weapons scattered across a silent battlefield.
• The sight of the forgotten war stirred sorrow and resolve in the Nine Heavens Ten Earths army, which vowed to follow Shi Yi into battle and restore its former glory.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao explored the Bloodstained Ancient Ship in the Void Great Rift, where Shi Yi planned to turn it into a Yan Huang Empire Void Warship. He ordered the army to use his formation to cleanse the ship’s Immortal Blood, and the process proved successful.

• Shi Hao told Shi Yi that the ancient ship held a Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, with a greater terror possibly waiting beyond them.
• Shi Yi reassured Shi Hao that the army was under control and that the Dark Eight Kings and Willow Deity guarded against dangers.
• Shi Yi said he intended to bring the ancient ship back to the Eight Regions and convert it into a Void Warship, prompting Shi Hao to imagine commanding it across the heavens.
• Shi Yi gave Shi Hao a purification and refinement formation and ordered him to supervise the army as it cleansed the ship’s bloodstains.
• Shi Hao relayed the order, and the soldiers found that the formation gradually purified the contaminated Immortal Blood without corrupting them.

Shi Yi’s rule and the Three-Chapter Law gave the Nine Heavens Ten Earths’ living beings enough trust to work together as the Billion Strong Army purified the Bloodstained Ancient Ship. After Shi Hao asked what to do with the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood, Shi Yi insisted the fallen martyrs must be buried rather than desecrated.

• The beings aboard the Bloodstained Ancient Ship worked together to refine its contaminated True Immortal blood, trusting Shi Yi’s Three-Chapter Law to protect them from betrayal.

• Shi Hao found Shi Yi chatting and playing with Xi Yi and asked how they should deal with the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of Blood.
• Shi Yi said the martyrs’ remains had to be buried and rebuked Shi Hao for suggesting they be desecrated.

The Willow Deity questioned Shi Yi about his Golden Core Great Dao, and he changed the subject before she could answer him about disciplining him.

• Shi Yi ordered Shi Hao to bury the True Immortal corpses in the Western Mausoleum Realm, and Little Pagoda explained that Shi Yi likely meant to claim the hidden treasure for himself.

Their intimacy brought back memories of how Shi Yi’s persistent companionship in Stone Village first drew Willow Deity’s attention and changed her fate.

• Willow Deity swallowed the Emperor Fire and passed its power to Shi Yi as they kissed, helping him refine it.
• Shi Yi reflected that his Golden Core Great Dao required him to merge the Great Daos of thirteen Supreme Dao Scriptures, a difficult path he could not safely share.

• Shi Yi and Willow Deity began communicating, setting their relationship on a path that made Despairing Time and Space vanish from the future.

He offered her the Immortal Blood stored aboard the Bloodstained Ancient Ship, and the chapter ended with the two acknowledging their deep bond while the Willow Deity denied having stayed for his sake.

• Shi Yi summoned nearly a hundred thousand vats of Immortal Blood from the Bloodstained Ancient Ship and offered them to the Willow Deity.
• The Willow Deity initially refused the resources, but Shi Yi insisted that her advancement mattered more to him than keeping them for himself.
• Shi Yi told the Willow Deity that he owed much of his success to her, and she denied that she had remained by his side for his sake.

Boundary Sea Willow Deity returned to Shi Yi through the Original Gate, reuniting with Primordial Willow Deity and revealing that both now recognized Shi Yi’s extraordinary nature. Shi Yi used the Original Gate to leave and prepare an expedition into the Void Great Rift, while the two Willow Deities reflected on his eventual departure for worlds beyond their own.

• Boundary Sea Willow Deity sensed the Original Gate in the Boundary Sea and used it to return to Shi Yi at the Bloodstained Ancient Ship.

He took control of the Bloodstained Ancient Ship, led the army into the Void Great Rift, and learned that they had found an ancient altar as he recovered from the Willow Deities draining him.

• Shi Yi lifted the ship's flight restrictions and ordered the Billion Strong Army to prepare for battle as he guided the vessel deeper into the Void Great Rift.
• After ten days of travel, the army discovered an altar from the Primordial Era, possibly from the Border Wasteland, and Shi Hao went to report it to Shi Yi.
• Shi Hao found Shi Yi looking exhausted; Shi Yi concealed that the Willow Deities had nearly drained him and asked what his little brother had come to tell him.

Shi Hao led a hundred million troops to investigate a mysterious altar, where a vision revealed the Seven Kings of the Human Race defending the Border Wasteland and the truth behind their supposed sin. The vision awakened Shi Hao’s Supreme mark and released a Supreme aura across the realms, drawing the attention of the Foreign Domain and Burial Domain.

• Immortal Domain figures recognized that Xi Yi had helped Shi Yi win public trust and that even exposing his ties to the Dark Eight Kings might not turn people against him.

Shi Yi watched the Void Sky Screen reveal the Seven Kings of the Human Race falling and the remains of the Lords of Nine Heavens beside a black cauldron. Suspecting that the cauldron resembled Stone Village’s ancestral artifact, he contacted the village and asked Shi Yunfeng where it had come from.

• The Void Sky Screen showed the six surviving kings lamenting that the Border Wilderness Emperor Pass could no longer hold against the Creatures from Beyond.
• The screen shifted to the Emperor Fall Era, revealing the Lords of Nine Heavens’ severed heads and memorial tablets beside a black cauldron glowing with seven-colored radiance.
• Shi Yi recognized the cauldron as resembling Stone Village’s ancestral artifact and wondered who had cooked the Lords of Nine Heavens and how the cauldron had reached the village.
• Shi Yi used his card to contact Stone Village, where Shi Yunfeng, Aunt Hu, and the villagers knelt to pay respects to the Human Emperor.
• Shi Yi asked Shi Yunfeng where Stone Village’s black cauldron had come from.
