Chapter Summaries

Chen Yi set up a plan to revive Chen Lingxiu by using the Rewind Secret Realm and purifying the incense gathered by her statue. He assigned Carefree Island’s leaders and Lin Yuyu their roles, then left them with strict instructions to preserve the truth about Chen Lingxiu.

• Chen Yi placed the Rewind Secret Realm on Carefree Island and considered the dangers incense posed to Chen Lingxiu’s revival.
• Chen Yi ordered Huo Hai to oversee the secret realm’s entrance and require cultivators to bow before Chen Lingxiu’s statue before entering.
• Chen Yi tasked Luo Wutian with developing industries for traditional cultivators and rebuilding Carefree Island’s local fortune.
• Chen Yi told Lin Yuyu to purify the incense gathered by Chen Lingxiu’s statue and turn it into spiritual liquid to nourish the statue.
• Chen Yi instructed Huo Hai, Luo Wutian, and Lin Yuyu to promote Chen Lingxiu’s history accurately and avoid rushing the revival plan.

During a decade of calm, Chen Yi helped Ziwei Continent develop through the secret realm trials while puzzling over Wuji and Ling Xiao’s silence. He decided to break the deadlock by facing his eighty-third Tribulation Transcendence and strengthening himself for a possible confrontation.

• Chen Yi withdrew his avatar from the Carefree Sect, leaving nine Chaos Colorful Beads around Xu Jinghong to suppress his power as he learned how to resurrect Xiuzhi and guarded the Rewind Secret Realm.
• The Carefree Sect became the Rewind Secret Realm’s pilot site, drawing cultivators while Ancestor Lingxiu’s statue and Xu Jinghong deterred troublemakers.
• Over ten years, cultivators used six secret realm sites to gain resources without significantly depleting their Law Origin, and the Carefree Sect’s disciples grew more determined to improve.
• Chen Yi worried that Wuji and Ling Xiao had gone quiet while Little Golden Dragon gathered high-level resources, and decided he had to break the deadlock.
• After ten years of accumulating strength, Chen Yi prepared for his eighty-third Tribulation Transcendence, aiming to absorb at least a hundred Chaos Divine Lightnings and create more avatars.

Immortal Emperor Wuji decided to let the lower-realm variables grow while he prepared to seize the Epoch Treasure Vault and suppress them later. In the Void Domain, Chen Yi discovered Tribulation Transcendence no longer responded to his aura and traveled to the Tianshu Star Domain to investigate, where Fang Fan’s rise against the Forbidden Zone of Life was recounted.

• Wuji watched Heavenly Immortals harvest resources in the Immortal Realm and concluded that he should let the variables develop before crushing them.
• Wuji resolved to treat the corner of the Immortal Realm as a buffer and claim the Epoch Treasure Vault and the variables for himself.
• Chen Yi released his aura in the Void Domain, but Tribulation Transcendence did not appear, leaving him worried that he could no longer rely on it.
• Chen Yi reasoned that his refined Chaos Divine Lightning essence and his feigned death might have changed how Tribulation Transcendence perceived him, then opened a spatial gateway to the Tianshu Star Domain.
• The account described how Fang Zheng and Fang Fan successively suppressed the Forbidden Zone of Life, with Fang Fan reaching the sixth heaven of the Quasi-Emperor realm by age thirty-eight.

Fang Fan refused Tianshu Heavenly Dao’s offer of a Heavenly Heart Seal, but Chen Yi arrived and ordered him to leave Tianshu Star to join his father. Chen Yi gave Tianshu Heavenly Dao an Immortal Vein, then took twenty-four Supreme Beings into the void to interfere with a tribulation.

• Tianshu Heavenly Dao pleaded with Fang Fan to accept the Heavenly Heart Seal and remain on Tianshu Star, but Fang Fan refused.
• Chen Yi descended, praised Fang Fan’s perception, and told him to settle his affairs before joining Fang Zheng.
• Tianshu Heavenly Dao protested that losing Fang Fan would leave the world weak, so Chen Yi refined ten thousand Immortal Origin Stones into an Immortal Vein and gave it to It.
• Tianshu Heavenly Dao thanked Chen Yi and asked to acknowledge him as a Heavenly Father, but Chen Yi ignored the request.
• Chen Yi seized twenty-four Supreme Beings from the forbidden zone and went into the void to join a tribulation in progress.

Chen Yi brought the twenty-four Supreme Beings into the Void Domain and set up his Ascension Formation, which could knock upon the immortal gate. The Supreme Beings burned their remaining lives in a final attempt to trigger Tribulation Transcendence and open a path to the immortal realm, while Chen Yi hid to watch what happened.

• The twenty-four Supreme Beings realized Chen Yi could withstand the Void Domain’s violent energy and abandoned any thought of fighting him.
• Chen Yi completed his Ascension Formation and asked the Supreme Beings whether they wanted to go to the immortal realm.
• The Supreme Beings recognized they had no real choice and decided to risk everything rather than continue lingering in the world.
• The Supreme Beings ignited their essence blood and underwent ultimate sublimation, hoping to trigger Tribulation Transcendence.
• Chen Yi activated the formation, which manifested an Ascension Stairway, then concealed himself to await the result.

Chen Yi empowered the Twenty-four Supreme Beings as they climbed the Ascension Stairway, but the Immortal Gate’s pressure nearly killed them. After one Supreme Being struck the gate with a great halberd, Immortal Emperor Wuji learned that Chen Lingxiu might revive and punished True Lord of Reincarnation for concealing the threat.

• With Chen Yi’s support, the Twenty-four Supreme Beings regained their strength and advanced up the Ascension Stairway toward the Immortal Gate.
• The Immortal Gate’s overwhelming pressure crushed the Supreme Beings, until one rose and smashed its doors with a pitch-black great halberd.
• Immortal Emperor Wuji prepared to face the unknown attacker, but the gate soon stopped shaking and the attacker withdrew.
• True Lord of Reincarnation reported that Immortal King Ningguang Lingxiu showed signs of revival because Chen Lingxiu’s traces had survived in branches of the River of Time.
• Wuji blamed True Lord of Reincarnation for hiding the severed branch and ordered him to excavate five hundred million Chaos Origin Stones at the Taichu Mine.

After Chen Yi failed to learn what lay behind the door, he returned to Ziwei Continent and cautiously advanced his plans while Wuji stayed hidden. At the Heavenly Palace, Fang Fan arrived for an internship and chose a seemingly worthless bloodstained pouch, insisting his intuition was right.

• Chen Yi returned the souls of the twenty-four dead Supreme Beings to the Tianshu Star Domain, then went back to Ziwei Continent frustrated that the Tribulation Transcendence remained silent behind the door.
• Chen Yi concluded that Wuji was holding back and activated the Chaos Colorful Beads attached to several people, planning to move forward cautiously and work with Ling Xiao.
• Fang Zheng brought his son Fang Fan to the Heavenly Palace and introduced him to Ye Wuchen for an internship in the Finance Department.
• Ye Wuchen tested Fang Fan by asking him to choose the most valuable of ten objects, and Fang Fan selected a bloodstained cloth pouch instead of the dark-gold iron cauldron.
• Fang Zheng recognized the cauldron as the true treasure, while Ye Wuchen revealed that the pouch was worthless; Fang Fan nevertheless insisted that it had the greatest value and asked to study it.

Fang Fan discovered that Ye Wuchen’s bloodstained cloth pouch concealed a spatial node, and Ye Wuchen opened it after suppressing a powerful soul fluctuation. Fang Zheng entered the space to investigate, where Ye An Cai realized an unfamiliar True Immortal had found him and sent a desperate message to the chat group.

• Fang Fan took Ye Wuchen’s bloodstained cloth pouch and sensed an opportunity hidden inside it.
• Fang Zheng joked about his son’s abilities while Ye Wuchen handed Fang Fan the pouch.
• A powerful soul fluctuation burst from the pouch, knocking Fang Fan unconscious, and Ye Wuchen suppressed it and pried open a spatial node.
• Ye Wuchen told Fang Zheng he would hold back whoever was inside, and Fang Zheng entered the node after checking that Fang Fan was safe.
• Ye An Cai found himself trapped in his refined space as a Pseudo-Immortal approached, then logged into the chat group and declared that an unfamiliar True Immortal had caught him.
• Ye An Cai went offline before the group could determine whether his warning was real.

Ye An Cai recounted the destruction of his world, his rise through harvesting Heavenly Dao origin, and how the chat group's upheaval pushed him to keep seeking more source power. After a crimson-robed cultivator took his Bloodstained Cloth Pouch and activated it with Heavenly Dao origin, Ye An Cai awoke in a perilous place facing True Immortal Ye Wuchen and the Tribulation Master Venerable.

• Ye An Cai survived the destruction of the Ye Family and Ink Cloud Continent, then discovered the Bloodstained Cloth Pouch holding Ink Cloud Heavenly Dao origin.
• Ye An Cai used the pouch to harvest worlds' Heavenly Dao origin while sparing their foundations and eliminating Demonic Eryi.
• After the chat group's senior members vanished, Ye An Cai rose to eighteenth on the peak rankings and continued piloting the pouch through the chaotic void currents.
• A crimson-robed cultivator picked up the pouch, examined it, and inserted Heavenly Dao origin into it.
• The pouch's heart's blood awakened Ye An Cai, who realized he was in a dangerous place with True Immortal Ye Wuchen and the Tribulation Master Venerable.

Fang Zheng realized Ye An Cai was a chat group member whose interface still worked, and he and Ye Wuchen brought the unconscious man to Chen Yi. Meanwhile, Chen Yi continued preparing against Wuji’s hidden schemes in the supposed Immortal Realm, and the chapter left him ready to see what his allies had brought him.

• Fang Zheng saw Ye An Cai use the chat interface and concluded that Ye An Cai belonged to the orthodox faction that had split from their group.
• Fang Zheng knocked out Ye An Cai while Ye Wuchen suppressed him, then Ye Wuchen isolated the activated bloodstained pouch.
• Fang Zheng told Ye Wuchen that Ye An Cai was a group member who could still use the chat group, and they headed to the Phantom Star Grotto-Heaven with him and Fang Fan.
• Chen Yi judged that Wuji had created the supposed Immortal Realm as a front and secretly gathered the Chaos Colorful Beads carried by the Tomb-Robbing Squad members.
• Ye Wuchen arrived with Ye An Cai and asked Chen Yi to let him in, and Chen Yi agreed to see his surprise.

Chen Yi discovered that Ye Wuchen’s bloodstained pouch was an expired star map whose preserved heart’s blood could lead to the Calamity Realm, possibly the birthplace of the Eryi Mother Body. After learning how Ye Wuchen and Fang Fan found and activated it, Chen Yi rewarded Fang Fan with a special envoy jade token.

• Chen Yi analyzed Ye Wuchen’s bloodstained pouch and found that its heart’s blood could sense world auras and retained clues about the Calamity Realm.
• Ye Wuchen projected how he found the pouch while marking worlds in the void, and Chen Yi noted that he had discovered 198 worlds in ten years.
• Chen Yi watched Fang Fan select and activate the pouch during a test, then repaired Fang Fan’s shaken sea of consciousness.
• Fang Fan awoke, greeted Chen Yi, and received a jade token appointing him as a special envoy of Ziwei Immortal Court.

Chen Yi rewarded Ye Wuchen and Fang Zheng for their work, then turned his attention to the unconscious Ye An Cai. Ling Xiao approved Ye An Cai’s login request, leaving Chen Yi puzzled by Ling Xiao’s unexpectedly easy decision.

• Chen Yi gave Ye Wuchen ten million Immortal Origin Stones and agreed to issue an imperial order for the Tianji Institute at Fang Zheng’s request.
• After dismissing everyone, Chen Yi reached for the unconscious Ye An Cai.
• Ling Xiao restored his damaged will imprints and began personally controlling the Primordial Creation Disk fragment and its login approvals.
• Ling Xiao approved Ye An Cai’s request to log in, assuming Chen Yi was after resources.
• Chen Yi wondered why Ling Xiao had approved the request so easily and why his behavior was increasingly like Wuji’s.

Chen Yi openly took control of Group Four and altered its members’ combat data to make them all Golden Immortal Perfection, hoping the absurd report would finally draw Ling Xiao’s attention. Ling Xiao still did not react, leaving Chen Yi waiting to see whether he would respond to the group’s enormous rewards.

• Chen Yi reasoned that Ling Xiao could not risk severing ties with him because Chen Yi held one-third of the Primordial Creation Plate fragments, which could bring Wuji after Ling Xiao.
• Chen Yi ignored Ye An Cai’s terrified protests and prepared to exploit Ling Xiao’s apparent inaction again.
• Chen Yi smoothly seized control of Group Four’s backend despite Ling Xiao’s continued silence.
• Chen Yi changed the group’s combat data, and all fifty members appeared to reach Golden Immortal Perfection.
• Group Four members reacted with shock and confusion as Ye An Cai announced the changes and warned them not to withdraw the supposedly fake rewards.
• Chen Yi waited to see whether Ling Xiao would react to the massive reward report.

Ling Xiao approved Chen Yi’s enormous reward request, and Chen Yi secretly used the fourth group’s crashed system to seize members’ untouched resources. He compensated the group with vastly increased daily rewards, while keeping ninety-eight percent as tax.

• Ling Xiao approved Chen Yi’s request for vast quantities of rare resources and Immortal Essence Stones.
• Chen Yi concluded that Ling Xiao and Wuji were keeping their distance from him, giving him room to develop his power.
• Fourth Group members debated whether to extract their rewards, but most were too afraid to act.
• Chen Yi used the group backend to take control of the forty-nine members’ accounts and transfer their accumulated resources to Ye An Cai.
• Chen Yi increased Peak rankings and daily sign-in rewards to compensate the members, while taking ninety-eight percent as tax.

Chen Yi took Ye An Cai to the Calamity Realm to investigate the Eryi Mother Body’s birthplace, while two survivors in the ruined city hunted Calamity Demons. The hunters captured hundreds of monsters, but a greater threat stirred in the sewer.

• Chen Yi removed the chat group anchor from Ye An Cai, then returned his Bloodstained Cloth Pouch and gave him thirty-six Chaos Colorful Beads for protection.
• Chen Yi told Ye An Cai they were going to send him home through the Calamity Realm, and Ye An Cai reluctantly led the way.
• In the ruined city, the bald Boss and Fire Man lured Calamity Demons out of a sewer to capture them for rewards.
• The two brothers captured 328 first-order Calamity Demons and prepared to deal with nine second-order ones.
• A pair of scarlet eyes lit up inside the sewer as the brothers approached the remaining monsters.

Boss and Fire Man fought a Third-Order Calamity Demon and chose to face death together rather than abandon each other. Ye An Cai arrived in time to restrain the demon, then turned his attention to the mutating Boss and injured Fire Man.

• A Third-Order Calamity Demon ambushed Boss and Fire Man, slashing Boss and infecting him with the Calamity Virus.
• Boss tried to hold the demon back so Fire Man could escape, but Fire Man refused and recalled how Boss had cared for him since they were children.
• Fire Man unleashed his ultimate move, Super Awesome Flame Big Bang, and Boss used wind and thunder to drive the demon back into the flames.
• The demon survived and charged the brothers, who closed their eyes and accepted their deaths.
• Ye An Cai appeared and suspended the demon in midair, while Boss convulsed as fur began growing on his head.
• Fire Man cried out for Boss, and Ye An Cai asked the Rainbow Bead Necklace whether he should save the brothers; it told him to take a look.

Ye An Cai and Chen Yi explored a strange, ruined continent in the Calamity Realm and questioned two brothers they had rescued. The chapter ended with Ye An Cai pressing the brothers for the history of the apocalypse while Liu Bi wondered whether he was an alien.

• Ye An Cai asked permission to use his divine sense, and the Chaos Colorful Beads allowed him to investigate the continent.
• Ye An Cai discovered that the square continent floated in the void, had no trace of a Heavenly Dao, and seemed to have no monsters stronger than the Integration stage.
• Ye An Cai questioned Liu Bi and Dai Yuanshan, who thanked him for saving their lives and pledged to serve him.
• Ye An Cai recognized Dai Yuanshan's half-finished fire dragon tattoo as a law tattoo that could increase his superpower by at least fivefold.
• Ye An Cai asked when the apocalypse and monsters had appeared, and he ordered Liu Bi to answer after Liu Bi asked whether he was an alien.

Liu Bi explained how the Calamity Virus and Calamity Demons had brought humanity to the brink of extinction, then begged Ye An Cai to save the world and find the Heavenly Dao Key of the Divine Realm. Chen Yi logged in personally to investigate and discovered that the world’s ability users had fused with fragments of the broken Heavenly Dao, while Dai Yuanshan’s dragon tattoo concealed a major secret.

• Liu Bi recounted the apocalypse, the rise of ability users, and his grandfather’s claim that the Heavenly Dao Key of the Divine Realm could restore the world.
• Liu Bi and Dai Yuanshan knelt and asked Ye An Cai to save humanity, while Ye An Cai discussed Liu Bi’s account and Dai Yuanshan’s tattoo with Chen Yi through the Rainbow Bead necklace.
• Chen Yi suspected that the continent was a fragment of the Calamity Realm and decided to investigate by sending thirty-six avatars and logging in personally.
• The Chaos Colorful Beads vanished from Ye An Cai’s neck, and Chen Yi appeared before him, Liu Bi, and Dai Yuanshan.
• Chen Yi examined Liu Bi and realized that ability users had fused with fragments of the laws, while the Heavenly Dao of the realm had shattered into pieces.
• Chen Yi dismissed the idea that all surviving beings together formed the Heavenly Dao Key after sensing an earth-shaking secret in Dai Yuanshan’s half-remnant dragon tattoo.

Chen Yi suspected Dai Yuanshan’s incomplete dragon tattoo was tied to the hidden Heavenly Dao and used Calamity Demon essence to help Dai and Liu Bi evolve. He concluded that Dai was key to the Calamity Realm’s reconstruction and wondered how the Heavenly Dao would respond now that Dai had survived.

• Chen Yi recognized that Dai Yuanshan’s tattoo could amplify power many times over and suspected it was connected to the Heavenly Dao.
• Dai Yuanshan could not remember where he had received the tattoo, so Chen Yi gave him a Third-Order Calamity Demon essence crystal.
• Dai Yuanshan evolved to Third Order, and Chen Yi had Ye An Cai give Liu Bi another essence crystal.
• Chen Yi inferred that the Calamity Realm might once have been the God Realm and that its Heavenly Dao was rebuilding itself through ability evolvers.
• Chen Yi realized Dai Yuanshan was a chosen savior who should have died, and wondered how the hidden Heavenly Dao would react to his survival.

Chen Yi and Ye An Cai entered the Ninth Safety Zone, explored its advanced technology, and browsed the local internet. After Liu Bi and Dai Yuanshan caught up, Chen Yi prepared to use Dai Yuanshan’s tattoo to find the tattoo artist.

• Chen Yi and Ye An Cai entered the Ninth Safety Zone unnoticed by its guards, while Liu Bi and Dai Yuanshan were arrested for further inspection.
• Chen Yi and Ye An Cai explored the bustling, technologically advanced settlement and played with its smart devices.
• Ye An Cai fed a supreme-grade spirit stone to a smart trash can, then investigated its network connection, while Chen Yi browsed online using a copied smart terminal.
• Chen Yi put away the terminal and told Dai Yuanshan to follow his tattoo’s guidance to the tattoo shop.
• Dai Yuanshan agreed to lead Chen Yi to the tattoo artist, despite worrying about what Chen Yi might do to her.
