Chapter Summaries

Chen Yi persuaded Zhang Bairen not to join his dangerous plan in the Immortal Realm, while concealing Cui Changsheng’s perilous situation. Zhang Bairen completed his inspection and crossed into the Immortal Realm’s River of Time as Chen Yi’s incarnation traveled with him.

• Zhang Bairen warned Chen Yi that entering the Immortal Realm with only a Taiyi-level incarnation risked exposing him and their hidden front.

• Zhang Bairen urged Chen Yi to keep a low profile and agreed not to stop him from acting.
• Zhang Bairen and Chen Yi reached the severed River of Time node, where an immortal general inspected them with Wuji’s Heaven-Gazing Mirror.
• After the inspection cleared them, Zhang Bairen crossed the opened path into the Immortal Realm’s River of Time.

Chen Yi entered the main branch of the Immortal Realm River of Time and searched for Cui Changsheng, whose location remained hidden even from Wuji. Unable to locate him safely through the Heavenly Robe Stone Tablet’s faint resonance, Chen Yi decided to use his own will to guide the search and refined the tablet.

• Zhang Bairen explained the Immortal Realm’s colorful time curtain walls and warned Chen Yi that his existence defied the laws of time.
• Chen Yi sensed Wuji’s aura, and Zhang Bairen erased their connection before leaving to avoid being implicated.
• Chen Yi used his improved Shielding Heavenly Robe Version 2.0 to move silently through the River of Time while searching for Cui Changsheng.
• Chen Yi concluded that using the tablet’s resonance to locate Cui Changsheng was too risky and decided to form a conduit with his will instead.
• Chen Yi’s true body grabbed the Heavenly Robe Stone Tablet and refined it, declaring that he would offend Cui Changsheng a little.

Chen Yi forcibly used Cui Changsheng’s true spirit to locate his lost main body in a forgotten stretch of ancient history. Unable to enter through a karmic contract, Chen Yi prepared to break in by improper means before Cui Changsheng was erased completely.

• Chen Yi invaded the Heavenly Robe Stone Tablet and dragged Cui Changsheng’s true spirit through spacetime to lock onto his main body’s location.

• Unable to form a karmic contract and enter properly, Chen Yi removed his version 2.0 Shielding Heavenly Robe and prepared to force his way in.

Chen Yi intervened as Crimson Heaven tried to erase the ancient history and destroy the last traces of Cui Changsheng. Chen Yi’s six-star clones reversed the timeline and began restoring Cui Changsheng, while Crimson Heaven fled and faced a sudden attack on his escape route.

• Crimson Heaven ignited Cui Changsheng’s origin Dao mark to collapse the exposed stretch of ancient history.
• Chen Yi’s four-star clone confronted Crimson Heaven and was crushed, completing its role in forming a contract.
• Chen Yi’s two six-star clones used their abilities to reverse the timeline and restore Cui Changsheng’s figure from Crimson Heaven’s origin Dao marks.
• Crimson Heaven became afraid of Chen Yi, severed Cui Changsheng’s remaining origin Dao mark, and fled along a golden road.
• A pitch-black great halberd appeared and smashed into Crimson Heaven’s golden road.

Chen Yi used a causality-bound halberd strike to force Crimson Heaven back, then continued trying to restore Cui Changsheng while Crimson Heaven offered to negotiate. The chapter ended with Chen Yi secretly replenishing and enhancing his weakened clones as Crimson Heaven unknowingly helped him prepare for the next confrontation.

• Chen Yi's halberd strike shattered Crimson Heaven's Escape Dao and drove him into ancient history, where he crashed into the continent below.
• Crimson Heaven rose injured and invited Chen Yi to negotiate, but Chen Yi warned him to stay quiet and kept tracing back Cui Changsheng's Dao body.
• Crimson Heaven chose not to fight, extinguished Cui Changsheng's burning origin Dao marks, and offered goodwill while waiting for negotiations.
• Chen Yi's clones were nearly exhausted, and he realized they could not overpower a supreme Dao Ancestor like Crimson Heaven without help from his true body.
• Chen Yi secretly used multiple systems and belief energy to replenish and strengthen his clones while slowing Cui Changsheng's reconstruction.
• Unaware of Chen Yi's preparations, Crimson Heaven continued dissolving causality to improve his position in the coming negotiations.

Chen Yi restored Cui Changsheng after Crimson Heaven had refined him and enlisted his help to stop Crimson Heaven from escaping. Cui Changsheng agreed to contain the battle’s aftershocks as Chen Yi revealed his Dao Ancestor avatar and prepared to attack.

Chen Yi used Feixing Heavenly Dao’s unconventional systems to overwhelm and pin Crimson Heaven, while Cui Changsheng realized Feixing was behind Chen Yi’s new power. Crimson Heaven then broke free with a terrifying surge, forcing Chen Yi to prepare to bring out his true body.

• Chen Yi used Feixing Heavenly Dao’s systems to counter Crimson Heaven’s techniques and drive the two great halberds through his defenses.
• Chen Yi disrupted Crimson Heaven’s sensory observation, allowing the halberds to strike his head and pin him through the chest.
• Cui Changsheng recognized Feixing’s role in Chen Yi’s power and envisioned a future beyond orthodox limits.
• Crimson Heaven recited a poem and unleashed an aura that shattered the halberds’ suppression.
• Chen Yi realized that even his two six-star avatars could not hold Crimson Heaven and that his true body had to act.

Crimson Heaven discovered that Chen Yi’s opponents had been clones and declared their cause and effect settled, but Chen Yi summoned the Tribulation-Conquering Great Halberd and pierced him again. Recognizing the weapon’s Epochal Calamity aura, Crimson Heaven accepted that he could not escape and challenged Chen Yi to act.

• Crimson Heaven used his domain of one hundred and eight origin Dao marks to expose and suppress Chen Yi’s two six-star clones.
• Crimson Heaven pulled the halberd from his chest, returned it to Chen Yi, and said their cause and effect were settled.
• Chen Yi summoned the Tribulation-Conquering Great Halberd, which tore through Crimson Heaven’s domain and pierced him again.
• Crimson Heaven sensed the Epochal Calamity’s aura in the halberd and recalled how he had escaped the earlier calamity by severing his Dao fruit.
• Chen Yi asked why Crimson Heaven had not tried to flee, and Crimson Heaven said unsettled cause and effect would catch up with him eventually.
• Crimson Heaven rejected Chen Yi’s attempt to invade his sea of consciousness and told him to do whatever he intended.

Crimson Heaven remained imprisoned but too dangerous to kill or refine, so Cui Changsheng offered to guard him. Chen Yi instead decided to confront the dangers threatening his homeland and examined Cui Changsheng for lingering contamination from Yi Tian; the inspection left Cui Changsheng unconscious.

• Crimson Heaven taunted Chen Yi and Cui Changsheng from his prison, while Chen Yi concluded that neither brute force nor ordinary refining could safely subdue him.
• Cui Changsheng offered to stay behind and watch Crimson Heaven, but Chen Yi insisted that the crisis at home could no longer be put off.
• The Tribulation-Conquering Great Halberd annihilated Yi Tian's body, leaving his one hundred and eight origin Dao marks behind.
• Cui Changsheng admitted that Yi Tian's Dao surpassed his own, prompting Chen Yi to suspect that Yi Tian had contaminated him.
• Cui Changsheng let Chen Yi inspect his body and sea of consciousness, and Chen Yi stripped away strange mental forces until Cui Changsheng collapsed from the pain.

Chen Yi found that Crimson Heaven had left Cui Changsheng on the verge of dissolving into the Dao, beyond rescue, and decided to refine him rather than let an enemy claim his origin. Cui Changsheng entered the Chaos Melting Furnace willingly, leaving Chen Yi to face the threat of the Immortal Emperors.

• Chen Yi discovered that Crimson Heaven had devoured and then spat out Cui Changsheng, leaving his origin Dao marks vulnerable to being refined.
• Cui Changsheng accepted his fate and urged Chen Yi to be bolder against the Immortal Emperors Limitless and Ling Xiao.
• Chen Yi admitted that he feared his halberd was not fast or ruthless enough to defeat the true Immortal Emperors.
• Chen Yi brought out the Chaos Melting Furnace and told Cui Changsheng to enter, deciding to keep his Dao origin from falling to an enemy.
• Cui Changsheng entered the furnace and began refining himself to contribute his final strength to the Ziwei Immortal Realm.

Cui Changsheng abandoned his orthodox Dao path and entered the Feixing Realm to pursue Chen Yi’s alternative system. There, he encountered Chen Yi’s disciple Chen Hao cultivating by eating spiritual soil and wondered whether he would have to do the same.

• Cui Changsheng decided to sever his origin Dao marks and pursue the alternative system rather than rebuild his orthodox Dao fruit.
• The Heavenly Robe Stone Tablet crumbled, leaving Cui Changsheng with a Great Luo remnant body that appeared young and vigorous.
• Chen Yi opened a teleportation vortex to the Feixing Realm, and Cui Changsheng strode through it.
• In the Sacred Void Secret Realm, Chen Hao stuffed himself with spiritual soil while cultivating the Cultivation Ecosystem Bladder System alongside Entropy Spirit Inverse Metamorphosis.
• Cui Changsheng watched Chen Hao eat dirt and debated whether this strange cultivation method required him to do the same.

Cui Changsheng encountered Chen Hao in the Sacred Void Secret Realm and was chased after Chen Hao mistook him for an extraterrestrial spirit creature he could eat. Chen Yi watched without intervening as Cui Changsheng called for help and Chen Hao insisted he was not wrong because his master had not stopped him; elsewhere, the Ziwei Heavenly Dao was nearing its limit in suppressing the surging providence.

• Cui Changsheng rejected the Ecological Bladder Body System and chose to study the Void Grammar Body System instead.
• Chen Hao recognized Cui Changsheng as a nonhuman creature and moved in to eat him, despite Cui Changsheng claiming to be an elder of Chen Hao's master.

Carefree Island’s City God Luo Wutian and Earth God Huo Hai faced an Inspection Department investigation into the island’s rampant high-priced illegal trading, which had boosted local fortune and their promotion prospects. Huo Hai persuaded Luo Wutian to help conceal the violations for two and a half months, though Star Lord Inspector Xiao Chunan was leading the investigation and the Tribulation Master Venerable’s crackdown would not be stopped.

• Carefree Island grew wealthy and prosperous under the lax oversight of Luo Wutian and Huo Hai, while illegal goods such as Blood Skull Pills sold at enormous markups.
• Luo Wutian warned Huo Hai that new regulations required a crackdown on markets where prices exceeded production value by more than fifty percent.
• Huo Hai decided to resist the Inspection Department’s investigation and argued that the trading was voluntary, making them guilty only of inadequate oversight.
• Huo Hai urged Luo Wutian to hide the violations until they secured posts in the grassroots Divine Office Institute, after which Luo Wutian reluctantly agreed to gamble with him.
• Luo Wutian questioned whether they could evade the investigation, since Star Lord Inspector Xiao Chunan was leading it, while the Tribulation Master Venerable’s operation was set to purge resistance.

Adolf Anlan pursued a crackdown on profiteering at Carefree Island’s secret realm pilot sites to earn a promotion, while the Hall of Whispers struggled to finish its Spirit Realm before the Heavenly Dao advanced. The chapter ended by introducing the Origin Flow Plan, a God Realm reconstruction and resource-regeneration project.

• Adolf Anlan argued that evidence of inflated Blood Skull Pill prices was enough to move against Huo Hai and Luo Wutian, despite Mo Gui’s concerns about unrest and incomplete evidence.
• Anlan sought to resolve markup problems at six secret realm pilot sites to earn merit and secure a promotion from Xiao Chunan.
• The Hall of Whispers rushed to complete its spiritual-domain network before the Heavenly Dao advanced, but exhausted helpers began leaving the project.
• Shen Lingxi and Xu Jinghong departed with other helpers, leaving the remaining Hall of Whispers members behind to finish the Spirit Realm.
• The chapter introduced the Origin Flow Plan, a joint Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Works project to rebuild the New Divine Realm and regenerate resources.

Ye Wuchen used the Origin Flow Plan to secure another large shipment of God Realm resources from Xie Buruo, while Hu Fangyuan lamented the God Realm’s weakness. Ziwei’s departments then prepared to divert some of the supplies for their own needs.

• Zhang Kuang told Ye Wuchen that building the new divine domain’s active law environment would take too long and that resources were scarce.
• Ye Wuchen sent Xie Buruo the thirty-sixth resource requirements list, and Xie Buruo quickly inventoried the requested supplies.
• Hu Fangyuan complained that Ziwei had sidelined his agreement to transform a hundred Golden Immortals and pressured him to help search for the Key to the Heavenly Dao.
• Xie Buruo defended Ye Wuchen and trusted him enough to send the requested resources through a bulk material transmission channel.
• Fifty-three members of the Ziwei Special Work Group came online, and the departments planned to divert some earmarked resources to stabilize heaven and earth.

With thirty days left before the World Ascension Assembly, Ziwei Immortal Court’s officials rushed to earn merit and improve their prospects. Bai Yujing tried to enlist a Great Luo patriarch to suppress a level-nine variable, but the patriarch demanded a condition in exchange for taking on the karma.

• Liu Xiaofeng watched Chen Huaigeng consult the Department of Fate and Rebirth’s records and regretted hiring him after Chen Huaigeng’s success brought him a bright future.
• The Immortal Court restored Bai Yujing to second-rank Main Court Level and assigned him to lead the Department of Special Personnel, where he sought work that could help him advance.
• Bai Yujing approached the Great Luo patriarch of the Taixu Star God Ancient Clan and asked him to suppress a level-nine variable.
• The patriarch explained that Ziwei Realm’s rapid growth made the variable’s possible consequences too great to ignore and asked Bai Yujing to agree to a condition before he acted.

Gaia and the other captured ancient-clan patriarchs sought legal status in the Ziwei Realm, hoping to establish powerful branches there after the Immortal Realm abandoned them. Gaia pressed Bai Yujing to obtain Sacred Spirit Fruit from Ao Burang, leaving Bai Yujing frustrated by his poor reputation and tangled relationships.

• Gaia and the other patriarchs decided to put down roots in the Ziwei Realm and seek legal identities as natives.
• The patriarchs concluded that the Tribulation Master Venerable tolerated their schemes as long as they contributed, and that they should cultivate ties with Ziwei heavenly officials.
• Gaia asked Bai Yujing to smooth out a Level Nine variable and secure Sacred Spirit Fruit from the Celestial River Immortal Pond.
• Bai Yujing protested that asking Ao Burang for fruit would be difficult because of his connection to Yuan Qiyue and her family.
• Gaia refused to change his request and reminded Bai Yujing that people distrusted him because he had once led the Department of Marriage and failed to keep his word.

Fang Fan continued leading the Special Operations Division’s surveillance of the Immortal Realm Ark, relying on the Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring to search for information while keeping his subordinates focused. Elsewhere, Zhao Huazhen tracked Ling Xiao’s Epoch Dao Rhythm and found a clue to his whereabouts.

• Mo Ban complained that their month of surveillance had yielded no results, while Qian Duoduo asked Fang Fan for more Enlightenment Tea and Shadow Seven admitted she was anxious to prove herself.
• Fang Fan reminded his subordinates that their task was to remain hidden and strike the enemy at the crucial moment, then continued monitoring the Ark through the Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring.
• The Artifact Spirit urged Fang Fan to rest, but he insisted on maintaining the surveillance himself and poured another cup of Enlightenment Tea.
• Zhao Huazhen searched for Ling Xiao’s Epoch Dao Rhythm and discovered a small clue that revealed Ling Xiao’s trail.

Ling Xiao manipulated the ancient Epoch Dao resonance while Limitless adjusted the Heaven-Observing Mirror to lure out hidden opponents. In the Phantom Star Grotto-Heaven, Chen Yi abandoned his blocked plan to create a seven-star avatar and prepared to force a path through his failed experiments.

• Ling Xiao reflected that the Little Golden Dragon’s attempt to control the ancient Epoch Dao resonance was letting the nine-epoch power control him, and he planned to stay near Creation until Creation and Limitless clashed.
• Limitless opened his golden eyes in the Immortal Realm’s Limitless Treasure Hall and adjusted the Heaven-Observing Mirror to cast bait for hidden fish.
• Chen Yi’s attempts to fuse nine six-star avatars into a seven-star avatar failed because the Great Dao of the heavens resisted its creation.
• Chen Yi tried pushing the Feixing Heavenly Dao’s nine alternative evolutionary systems to their ultimate states, but one six-star avatar collapsed into a vortex and had to be refined.
• After concluding that his experiments had gone wrong, Chen Yi seized the remaining eight six-star avatars and refined them anew, determined to break through by force.

Fang Fan entered the River of Time to pursue the Immortal Realm Ark and learned that it planned to infiltrate tribulation-qualified worlds with dormant Primordial Spirit Seeds. Chen Yi tracked down the Ark, told Fang Fan to keep following it, and gave him a Chaos Colorful Bead to use when the spies could be contacted.

• Fang Fan used the Myriad Phenomena Xuanji Ring and his Taiyi Dharma Form to enter the River of Time after the Immortal Realm Ark disappeared into it.
• Fang Fan contacted Chen Yi and reported that the Ark was lost and the two moles aboard it had gone silent.
