Li Yun explained the dangers of Plane Authority to the Great Ming Heaven Realm’s Divine Lords as the Eternal Immortal Domain’s four major factions struggled for power. Over three hundred thousand years, Li Yun’s Divine Image advanced to Sixth Rank, and more than a hundred loyal transcendents from the Myriad Gods Realm spread through the domain’s factions.

• The Divine Lord Guangming, the Divine Lord Tianming, and the other Great Ming Heaven Realm Divine Lords sought Li Yun’s guidance after the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian obtained Plane Authority and fought.
• Li Yun said he had helped the three steal Plane Authority, warned that relying on it could bind cultivators to the Plane Ancient Dao, and told the Divine Lords to focus on cultivating themselves.
• The Eternal Immortal Court rejected the Ancient Immortal Church Master’s claim to be Plane Lord, while the Primordial Immortal Lord and Lord Haotian expanded their territories, bringing the four factions into ongoing conflict.
• After three hundred thousand years and a hundred Creation and Destruction Epochs in the Myriad Gods Realm, Li Yun’s Limitless Creation and Destruction Divine Image advanced from Seventh Rank to Sixth Rank.
• More than a hundred Children of the Epoch transcended the Myriad Gods Realm, joined factions across the Eternal Immortal Domain, and remained loyal to Li Yun.

Li Yun left the Great Ming Heaven Realm to find worlds whose resources could strengthen the Myriad Gods Realm before it collapsed. He reached the edge of the Eternal Immortal Domain near the Sacred Heaven Plane, reflecting on how impossible crossing a plane would once have been.

• Li Yun concluded that his Sixth-Rank Divine Image needed too much Primordial Unity Qi, threatening to exhaust the Myriad Gods Realm within 1.5 million years.
• Li Yun decided to secretly devour worlds far from the four great powers, using Plane Authority to conceal his actions and limiting how many worlds he would take.
• Two years later, Li Yun erased his traces in the Great Ming Heaven Realm and set out for remote regions controlled by small and mid-sized factions.
• Li Yun traveled for more than half a year and reached a region near the border of the Eternal Immortal Domain and the Sacred Heaven Plane.
• Li Yun recalled that crossing a plane had once seemed like an impossible dream and recognized how vast planes were to those below the Great Dao Divine Lord level.

Li Yun discovered that the border region’s worlds were too barren to meaningfully strengthen the Myriad Gods Realm. After spotting Sacred Heaven Plane infiltrators and learning to imitate their leader’s aura-concealing technique, he considered sneaking into the Sacred Heaven Plane.

• Li Yun surveyed the border region and found that its more than thirteen hundred small worlds offered little value to the Myriad Gods Realm.
• Li Yun concealed himself when Sacred Heaven Plane agents arrived and learned that Lord Holy Soul had sent them to build one hundred thousand Altars along the Eternal Immortal Domain’s border.
• Li Yun judged Lord Holy Soul too powerful to confront and decided to focus on increasing his own strength while leaving the infiltrators alone for now.
• Li Yun watched Lord Holy Soul use Epoch Divine Power to imitate the pulse of the Plane Ancient Dao and disguise himself as a native cultivator.
• Li Yun quickly copied Lord Holy Soul’s technique and considered using it to infiltrate the Sacred Heaven Plane.

• Li Yun studied the Sacred Heaven Plane’s Plane Ancient Dao for ten years and used the Heaven-Deceiving Art to disguise his aura and cross into the plane.
• Li Yun destroyed a nearby world with the Supreme Immortal Gate, then waited months in hiding to see whether the Plane Lord would respond.
• Li Yun concluded that the Plane Lord had not noticed the loss and began traveling deeper into the Sacred Heaven Plane while disguising his aura.
• Li Yun swallowed two thousand worlds in three months, extending the Myriad Gods Realm’s Creation and Destruction Epoch cycle from roughly three thousand to five thousand years of outside time.
• Li Yun saw that the worlds’ disappearance had caused only minor ripples and continued plundering the Sacred Heaven Plane.

After devouring tens of thousands of worlds in the Sacred Heaven Plane, Li Yun detected an investigation and returned to the Eternal Immortal Domain before its experts could find him. At the Sacred Origin Heavenly Palace, Sheng Tianji and the other Great Dao Divine Lords realized their target might wield the Heaven-Deceiving Art and feared he had a Third-Rank Divine Image.

• Li Yun sensed that an expert was investigating the disappearing worlds and decided to leave the Sacred Heaven Plane.
• After half a year, Li Yun reached the border between the planes, shed his disguise, and returned to the Eternal Immortal Domain.
• Li Yun settled again in Yun Shan Village and watched the Myriad Gods Realm's Creation and Destruction Epoch unfold.
• At the Sacred Origin Heavenly Palace, Sheng Tianji failed to track Li Yun and explained that his target had changed his energy to escape the investigation.
• A Great Dao Divine Lord recognized that Li Yun might know the Heaven-Deceiving Art, and the gathered experts feared he possessed a Third-Rank Divine Image.
• The Sacred Origin War God sprang up and angrily demanded to know why Sheng Tianji had not warned them sooner.

Sheng Tianji confessed to the Radiant Hall Master that his investigation into the disappearance of hundreds of worlds may have angered someone with a Third-Rank Divine Image. The Radiant Hall Master realized that the mass destruction of worlds made that theory suspicious, leaving him questioning who was really behind it.

• Sheng Tianji and the others welcomed the Radiant Hall Master, who demanded to know why they were panicked.
• Sheng Tianji explained that he had secretly investigated the disappearance of many worlds and lost the trail of the unknown party's aura.
• The Radiant Hall Master berated Sheng Tianji for failing to report the investigation and warned that their target might possess a Third-Rank Divine Image.
• Sheng Tianji and the others knelt and begged the Radiant Hall Master to save them.
• The Radiant Hall Master considered seizing them, then questioned whether a Third-Rank Divine Image wielder would destroy hundreds of worlds and risk drawing the Lord of Sacred Heaven's attention.

The Divine Sacred Heavenly Palace learned that fifty thousand worlds had vanished and began searching for the suspected culprit, unaware that Li Yun had already returned to Yun Shan Village. After cultivating through countless cycles, Li Yun reached eighty epochs of Divine Power and turned his attention to the pursuers he had nearly forgotten.

• The Palace Master of the Divine Sacred Heavenly Palace received reports of fifty thousand vanished worlds and suspected a Divine Lord from the Other Plane was responsible.
• The Palace Master told Sheng Tianji that the Purple Heaven Sage Emperor had ordered an investigation and tasked Sheng Tianji with tracking the culprit using the Heaven-Seeking Art.
• Sheng Tianji accepted the mission, while the Palace Master hoped that solving the case would earn him favor from the Divine Court.
• Li Yun had already returned to his courtyard in Yun Shan Village, where he cultivated through repeated cycles of creation and destruction in the Myriad Gods Realm.
• Li Yun's Epoch Divine Power reached eighty epochs, and he looked toward the void, saying he had almost forgotten about the pursuers.

Li Yun discovered that the Sacred Heaven Plane had turned border worlds into Altars as part of a plan to attack the Eternal Immortal Domain. His investigation revealed that the Abyssal Plane and Ancient God Plane were involved too, leaving him to face a world-ending crisis without acting rashly.

• Li Yun left the Great Ming Heaven Realm and found a Sacred Heaven Plane Divine Lord directing cultivators to alter a border world's Three Thousand Great Daos.
• After observing the world for three months, Li Yun discovered that the strange runes were creating sacrificial power and transforming border worlds into Altars.
• Li Yun realized the Altars could be activated by killing their inhabitants, sending destructive power toward the Eternal Immortal Domain's heart and possibly threatening its Plane Ancient Dao.
• Li Yun withheld his discovery and secretly continued investigating along the Eternal Immortal Domain's border.
• Li Yun found that three hundred thousand worlds had been turned into Altars and that the Abyssal Plane and Ancient God Plane were working alongside the Sacred Heaven Plane.

Li Yun discovered that the Three Great Planes were preparing to hunt the Eternal Immortal Domain and realized the crisis could kill him before he grew strong enough to escape his ties to the plane. He decided to contact the four rulers he suspected were plotting against him, while they began to fear he had uncovered their secret communications.

• Li Yun weighed the danger facing the Eternal Immortal Domain and concluded that he needed help to survive the Three Great Planes’ impending attack.
• Li Yun used his Plane Authority to trace the Ancient Immortal Church Leader, the Primordial Immortal Lord, the Lord of Eternal Immortality, and Lord Haotian, and suspected their public rivalry concealed a plan to kill him.
• Li Yun abandoned his plan to remain hidden and invoked his Plane Authority to contact the four rulers.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Leader worried that Li Yun had exposed their secret exchanges, and the other three rulers questioned whether he could be watching their every move.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Leader warned that Li Yun’s resonance with the Plane Ancient Dao had granted him greater Plane Authority than theirs, leaving him afraid they were playing with fire.

The Ancient Immortal Church Master warned the other Plane Lords that the Million Phenomena Bearer might gain genuine Plane Authority and become a grave threat. He revealed that the Myriad Gods Realm ranked first among newly born planes and might be connected to the Bearer, leaving all four lords shocked and uncertain about their plan.

• The Ancient Immortal Church Master warned that the four Plane Lords had stolen their authority and could be doomed if the Million Phenomena Bearer gained true Plane Authority.
• The Lord of Eternal Immortality mocked the Ancient Immortal Church Master, who accused him of being unable to steal Plane Authority without the Bearer's help, reigniting their old feud over his stolen title.
• The Primordial Immortal Lord and Lord Haotian stopped their argument and urged the group to focus on killing or persuading the Bearer before he grew stronger.
• The Primordial Immortal Lord argued that the Bearer was likely only an Eighth-Rank Divine Image and would take longer to reach the First Grade than the four Second Grade cultivators.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master revealed that the Myriad Gods Realm ranked first on the Potential Ranking List and that a Myriad Gods Cult in the Zhoutian Sword Domain had been connected to the Bearer.
• The Ancient Immortal Church Master suspected the Bearer's origins were tied to the Myriad Gods Realm, and all four Plane Lords fell silent in shock.
