Jiang Liu arrived in the desert as the Mystic Realm neared its opening and prepared to enter with Zhuge Cheng, Yun Yue, and Nangong Xing. Strange beasts gathered nearby but withdrew, while the Sky Devouring Cat signaled that it wanted to enter the Mystic Realm too.

• Jiang Liu stored the Void Transmission Star Stones and left Yun Yue to take the people she had gathered to help the Iron Blood Army in the desert.
• Nangong Xing told Jiang Liu that the Mystic Realm was expected to open soon, and he traveled to the desert to join Zhuge Cheng and the others.

• As the Mystic Realm's aura became pure, Howling Moon Wolves and other mountain beasts appeared, then withdrew without approaching Jiang Liu.
• The Sky Devouring Cat signaled that it wanted to enter the Mystic Realm, while Zhuge Cheng began setting up an entry formation that made Jiang Liu frown.

Jiang Liu and the others entered the Heaven's Mandate Mystic Realm through Zhuge Cheng's aura-concealing formation and discovered it was an exotic beast inheritance realm. The Sky Devouring Cat absorbed one of the sealed beast statues, while exotic beasts began gathering outside.

• Zhuge Cheng opened a temporary entrance with an aura-concealing formation, and Jiang Liu, Zhuge Cheng, Nangong Xing, Yun Yue, and the Martial Division entered.
• Jiang Liu found an enormous cavern lined with exotic beast statues, and Zhuge Cheng said the cavern differed from the one he had seen before.
• Jiang Liu released the Sky Devouring Cat, which struck a statue and absorbed the black light within it, causing its aura to surge.
• Zhuge Cheng realized the statues held sealed exotic beasts and that the formation had allowed them to enter the realm.
• Jiang Liu concluded that the Heaven's Mandate Mystic Realm was an inheritance realm for exotic beasts and grew uneasy as beasts gathered outside.

Jiang Liu waited while the Sky Devouring Cat received an exotic beast inheritance, then followed Nangong Xing’s report of a divine temple deeper in the mystic realm. He reached the temple and saw that its shape resembled an exotic beast.

• Jiang Liu sent Nangong Xing, Yun Yue, Zhuge Cheng, and the others to search the mystic realm’s passageways while he waited for the Sky Devouring Cat.
• The Sky Devouring Cat obtained an inheritance, and Jiang Liu sensed that its immense transformed body carried a threatening aura.
• Nangong Xing contacted Jiang Liu through a Transmission Stone and reported that he had found a divine temple he could not enter.
• Jiang Liu followed Nangong Xing’s passageway and found him standing before a majestic temple shaped like an exotic beast.

Jiang Liu investigated the Exotic Beast Temple and concluded that it was a powerful exotic beast guarding the secret realm rather than attacking intruders. He suspected a God Lord Realm beast had created the realm to preserve it and strengthen the beast race, but he did not know why it had remained hidden.

• Nangong Xing met Jiang Liu at the passage, and he urged her to leave because the temple's aura was dangerous.
• The Sky Devouring Cat attacked the temple gate with Dark Primal Qi, but its strikes had no effect as the temple's aura grew stronger.
• The temple roared and blasted the Sky Devouring Cat down the passage, though Jiang Liu sensed that it had not been injured.
• Jiang Liu reasoned that the temple acted as a guardian and that its presence had kept the secret realm stable without harming humans or beasts.
• Jiang Liu concluded that a God Lord Realm exotic beast had created the secret realm to preserve beast inheritances and raise the beast race's strength.

Jiang Liu learned that the Exotic Beast Temple held a Saintly Legend legacy suited to the Fire-Winged Monkey, not the Sky Devouring Cat. He left the temple to gather everyone before bringing the beasts back, while Zhuge Cheng’s unexplained connection to the secret realm remained suspicious.

• The Sky Devouring Cat repeatedly attacked the Exotic Beast Temple, revealing a faint golden glow and then rejecting it as the legacy it sought.
• The Sky Devouring Cat told Jiang Liu that the temple held a beast-clan Saintly Legend legacy suited to the Fire-Winged Monkey.
• Jiang Liu realized the familiar aura belonged to the Fire-Winged Monkey and worried that accepting the legacy might collapse the secret realm.
• Jiang Liu flew out to check on the people he had brought into the realm so he could evacuate them before the Fire-Winged Monkey accepted its legacy.
• The Martial Division members, Zhuge Cheng, Yun Yue, and Nangong Xing returned with little to report, while Jiang Liu remained puzzled by Zhuge Cheng and Huangfu Hao’s earlier discovery of the Heaven's Mandate Mirror.

Jiang Liu and the others left the secret realm and found a beast tide battling Human Race warriors in the desert. As Jiang Liu let the Human Race use the low-level beasts for training, he noticed the Sky Devouring Cat had changed after receiving the secret realm’s inheritance.

• Zhuge Cheng opened a formation door, and Jiang Liu and the others returned from the secret realm to the desert.
• Jiang Liu saw Human Race warriors fighting low-level exotic beasts while stronger beasts watched from the rear.
• Nangong Xing, Yun Yue, and the others joined the battle, while Zhuge Cheng held back because no Divine Realm beasts were present.
• Jiang Liu let the battle continue so the Human Race warriors could hone their skills, and the Sky Devouring Cat concealed its aura.
• Jiang Liu noticed the Sky Devouring Cat had lost its Nether Demonic Qi and suspected the inheritance had transformed it for the Human Realm.

Jiang Liu and his companions emerged from the Exotic Beast Inheritance Mystic Realm and drove the gathered exotic beasts into battle, while Jiang Liu prepared to use the inheritance to build an army for future wars in the void. As Zhuge Cheng trapped the fleeing high-level beasts, the Four Symbols Divine Beasts approached, and Jiang Liu sent the Sky Devouring Cat to meet them.

• The high-level exotic beasts attacked the Iron Blood Army after Jiang Liu and his people entered the mystic realm, but Nangong Xing, Yun Yue, and the Martial Division members pushed back the low-level beasts.
• When the Howling Moon Skywolf, Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, and giant dragons tried to flee, Jiang Liu ordered Zhuge Cheng to stop them, and Zhuge Cheng used Heaven Reckoning Bamboo Slips to trap them.
• Jiang Liu watched the battle and planned to capture powerful beasts from the God Realm and Nether Realm, tame them, and use the inheritance to build an army for war in the void.
• A tremor announced the arrival of the Four Symbols Divine Beasts, all of whom had reached the first level of the Divine Realm, and Jiang Liu sent the eager Sky Devouring Cat toward them.

Jiang Liu returned to the God Realm after arranging the defense and cleanup of the Human Realm, then reunited with the women at the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation. He found their cultivation had advanced greatly and considered taking them to the Chaos Space before telling them about his recent experiences.

• Jiang Liu ordered Zhuge Cheng to remain in the Human Realm, assigned Nangong Xing and Yun Yue their duties, and let Sky Devouring Cat hunt exotic beasts freely.
• Jiang Liu teleported to Xingyun Island and flew toward the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, noticing that Yun Kong and the others had grown much stronger.

• The women welcomed Jiang Liu, and he was surprised to find that Cuier and Xiao He had reached the Grandmaster Realm while Gongsun Haoyue, Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Han Yi, and Han Yue had reached the Fourth Tier of the Saint Realm.
• Jiang Liu considered bringing the women to the Chaos Space and using his stored Divine Essence to help Gongsun Haoyue and Flowing Cloud Matriarch break through to the Divine Realm.
• Feng Yue threw herself into Jiang Liu's arms, and he sat with the women and began recounting what had happened while he was away.

Jiang Liu told the women about the War of Rules and the threats facing the realms, then explained that the Chaos Space was also at risk from God Lords seeking to claim it. The women decided to move there and face the crisis alongside him, and Jiang Liu agreed.

• Jiang Liu recounted the War of Rules, the Three Rule Lords, and how he had prevented a similar disaster from striking the Human Realm.

• Jiang Liu explained that God Lords wanted to seize the Chaos Space and that he lacked the strength to protect it from their attacks.
• Murong Yin announced that the women had decided to move to the Chaos Space and face the crisis with Jiang Liu.
• The other women agreed, and Jiang Liu accepted their decision, recognizing that their presence would also help conceal his weakness in the God Realm.

He returned to Tranquil Sea Island to gather his beasts and give Yu Chenghai and the Shockwave Sea Alliance instructions, leaving the group to follow him into the meeting hall.

• Jiang Liu decided to move the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation with the women so God Lords could not trace them, and the women began packing.
• Jiang Liu told Yun Kong and her companions to pack so they could leave with him, and Yue Kong began organizing them.
• Jiang Liu summoned the Unicorn Divine Ox, confirmed that it had reached the stable Third-Tier Divine Realm, and rode it toward Tranquil Sea Island.
• Yu Chenghai, Ge Qingsong, Feng Dashan, and the others welcomed Jiang Liu, relieved that his return would help protect the Shockwave Sea Alliance amid the God Realm’s turmoil.
• Jiang Liu told the Unicorn Divine Ox to wait aside and flew with Yu Chenghai and the others to the Shockwave Sea Alliance’s meeting hall to give them instructions before his departure.

Jiang Liu told the Shockwave Sea Alliance to store its offerings locally after moving his people away from Xingyun Island, leaving the alliance to face its growing crisis on its own. He returned to Xingyun Island, gathered Yun Kong and the others onto the Unicorn Divine Ox, and flew toward the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.

• Jiang Liu stopped Yu Chenghai from reporting the alliance's situation and declined to help clear the surrounding sea beasts.
• Jiang Liu told the alliance to store future Origin Stones and White Radiance Stones at its council hall because everyone on Xingyun Island had been moved away.

• Yu Chenghai instructed the alliance to maintain and guard Xingyun Island and the Star Cloud Enclosure despite the Unicorn Divine Ox's departure.
• Jiang Liu arrived at Xingyun Island, had Yun Kong and the others board the Unicorn Divine Ox, and flew toward the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation.

Jiang Liu brought Yun Kong, the women, and the Unicorn Divine Ox together, then moved the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation into the System Space and traveled to the Divine Hall of Rules. After arriving in the Chaos Space, he left the Divine Soul of the Rule Statue unable to reach him.

• Jiang Liu guided the Unicorn Divine Ox and Yun Kong’s group through the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation to reunite with the women.
• Jiang Liu announced that Yun Kong, the Unicorn Divine Ox, and the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation would all accompany him, prompting the women to resent his earlier silence about their preparations.
• Jiang Liu moved the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, shrank it into a light sphere, and placed it in the System Space for the journey.
• Tian Lan sensed Jiang Liu’s presence and strength but chose not to reveal itself as Jiang Liu departed the God Realm.
• Jiang Liu arrived in the Divine Hall of Rules, entered the Chaos Space, and quickly vanished before the Divine Soul of the Rule Statue could speak with him.
• The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue tried to cross from Hun Yi to Hun Er, but an invisible veil of light blocked it.

Jiang Liu brought Murong Yin and the others to a beautiful, energy-rich area of the Chaos Space, then learned that the Void was engulfed in widespread battles. Zhang Cheng reported that powerful Void Creatures had poured out of the Inner Void Layer, and Jiang Liu suspected the enormous black shadow was involved.

• The Divine Soul of the Rule Statue found a transparent barrier blocking its escape and returned to the Divine Hall of Rules.
• Jiang Liu set up the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation near the Spirit Mother Tree and brought everyone out, where they admired the scenery and settled in.
• Yun Kong led eleven people to build houses outside the formation while Murong Yin and the other women explored the nearby area.
• The Chaos Space Consciousness showed Jiang Liu countless Void Creatures fighting near the Chaos Space.
• Jiang Liu contacted Zhang Cheng, who reported that the External Void Layer was in chaos because powerful Void Creatures had surged out of the Inner Void Layer.
• Jiang Liu wondered whether the enormous black shadow had caused the Void Creatures to flee.

Jiang Liu agreed to let Heaven's Mandate Pavilion return to Dim Starstone as the void war threatened Chaos Space. After the group left the Human Realm with his permission, Huangfu Hao began questioning how Jiang Liu had gained control over the Human Realm's Heavenly Dao.

• Jiang Liu realized the void war had spread outward and feared Void Creatures would eventually discover Chaos Space.
• Zhuge Cheng contacted Jiang Liu, who agreed to let Heaven's Mandate Pavilion return to Dim Starstone.
• Huangfu Hao brought a Divine Artifact Starship to collect Zhuge Cheng, and the group flew to the Human Realm's boundary wall.
• Jiang Liu ordered the Golden Giant to let the starship pass, and Heaven's Mandate Pavilion safely entered the void.
• Huangfu Hao concluded that Jiang Liu controlled the Human Realm Space and wondered how he had made the Golden Giant submit.

Jiang Liu decided to prepare the Chaos Space to defend itself while he left to deal with the nearby Void Creatures. At Hun Er's Spirit Mother Tree, he found Murong Yin and the others under its influence and used the Mind-Calming Melody to restore their clarity.

• Jiang Liu decided that the nearby Void Creatures could be destroyed without drawing attention from the God Lords, then gave the Chaos Space Consciousness authority to manage the Chaos Space and activate its defensive formation.
• Jiang Liu went to Hun Er's Spirit Mother Tree and found Murong Yin and the others walking toward the forest in a daze.
• Jiang Liu played the Mind-Calming Melody on the Phantom Sound Flute, stopping the women and prompting them and Yun Kong's group to calm their vital energy.
• Gongsun Haoyue was the first to awaken and call out to Jiang Liu as he continued playing.

Jiang Liu awakened the people trapped in the illusion with his flute, then replenished his depleted Divine Sea. After the Fire-Winged Monkey and Sea Turtle returned from the lake, Jiang Liu reflected on their rapid cultivation and the monkey’s unknown inheritance.

• Gongsun Haoyue and the others awoke to Jiang Liu’s Mind-Calming Melody and cultivated as they recovered from the illusion.

• The Fire-Winged Monkey and Sea Turtle fell silent when they noticed the Unicorn Divine Ox nearby.

Jiang Liu reassured the women that the Spirit Mother Tree had caused them no harm, then brought them out of the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation to witness the dangerous Chaos Space. He left the women in the Chaos Space Consciousness’s care and flew out to clear away the Void Creatures.

• Jiang Liu checked that the women had suffered no hidden harm from the Spirit Mother Tree and told them to wait until they were stronger before cultivating deeper in the forest.
• Jiang Liu explained that the Void was in chaos and that he planned to clear out nearby Void Creatures, while the women asked to come along.

Jiang Liu fought Void Creatures near Chaos Space while the women watched, and the Inner Void Layer remained engulfed in a vast battle between Void Creatures and the forces of the Chaos Divine Hall. The injured God Lords struggled to hold their positions as the Spirit of the Chaos Divine Hall bolstered their power.

• Chaos Space Consciousness created a viewing platform and revealed the void battle to the women.
