• The narrator used the Human Body Detector to identify Chen Yue’s Nine Heavens Soul Spirit and connected it to Ji Wuqing and the Female Heavenly Emperor’s three reincarnated souls.

• Chen Yi, Ji Wuqing, and Ji Baiming settled in Out-of-World Village, where Human Race Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings lived in disguise.
• Ji Baiming explained that the village hid powerful cultivators from hostile factions, and Zhang Beihai said he served as village chief because he had no family.

Contamination spread across Out-of-World Village and much of the Southern Star Realm, weakening Cultivators and forcing the village to disband. Unable to return to the Ji Family, Chen Yi, Ji Wuqing, and Ji Baiming set out as wanted fugitives while the source of the black mist remained unknown.

• Black mist swallowed Out-of-World Village, and an elder identified it as Contamination that neutralized Cultivators’ power and could drive mortals mad.
• Out-of-World Village’s leaders decided to disband and send protected mortals back to their factions, ending the village rules and the need to erase memories.
• Ji Wuqing, Ji Baiming, and Chen Yi could not return to the Ji Family because the Peace Army was watching it, so they traveled together as wanted criminals.
• Chen Yi learned from the Heavenly River Monthly Gazette that Contamination had affected more than half of the Southern Star Realm and that sealing methods only worked temporarily.
• As the trio walked through the black mist, Old Wan turned the Myriad Souls Banner’s golden glow into black smoke, and Ji Wuqing tugged at the banner and startled him.

During the Contamination, you, Ji Baiming, and Ji Wuqing investigated Longevity Wood Village, where ordinary people remained unaffected and the fog was weaker. They learned of a nearby Emperor Tomb and a woman who could cleanse ordinary people of Contamination, then discovered the village’s strange Ancestor Soup was made from leftovers.

• As the Contamination spread across Vermilion Purple Star, you heard Cultivators complain about declining cultivation, shortages, and the damaged Star Harbor blocking escape.
• You, Ji Baiming, and Ji Wuqing reached Longevity Wood Village, where the Human Race residents remained normal despite the ongoing Contamination.
• At a village restaurant, the three of you listened as Cultivators discussed the weaker Contamination, the nearby Emperor Tomb, and a woman near Haosong City who could cleanse ordinary people if they believed in her.
• Ji Wuqing ordered Ancestor Soup, and you both tasted it before asking the old woman how it was made.
• The old woman explained that Ancestor Soup was made by stewing leftover food in a large earthen jar and claimed it could cure illness.

Chen Yi read the ancient stele at the Emperor Tomb and learned that Heavenly Emperors had suppressed Contamination across the universe. Tomb robber Fu Lai then tried to blast into the mountain, but the stone held firm, leaving the group to wonder what lay beneath.

• Chen Yi, Ji Baiming, and Ji Wuqing left Longevity Wood Village to investigate the Emperor Tomb on the nearby mountain.

• Chen Yi read that Contamination had been widespread in the Heavenly Emperor Era but was ultimately suppressed by the emperors.
• Fu Lai introduced himself and his companions, whom Chen Yi recognized as powerful tomb robbers, and asked what the stele said about the tomb.

• Chen Yi warned Fu Lai to hope the site was only a memorial, while the tomb robbers dismissed the Heavenly Emperors as possibly no more than Qi Transformation cultivators.

Chen Yi saw news of old Human World friends being executed or imprisoned and decided they needed to unite in the Tianhe Star System. At Longevity Wood Village’s centennial Funeral Ceremony, the Ancestor Emperor’s statue released a mysterious light that eradicated all Contamination and forced the Cultivators present to kneel or fall.

• Chen Yi read that Li Wentian had been executed, Shen had been sentenced to life imprisonment on Aoka Star, and the devil had been killed by an Immortal King.
• Chen Yi concluded that the isolated Human World talents needed to gather together and began planning for the next simulation.
• Chen Yi, Ji Wuqing, and Ji Baiming attended Longevity Wood Village’s once-in-a-century Funeral Ceremony, where villagers held a feast and carried empty coffins to the Emperor Tomb.

• A mysterious radiance erupted from the Ancestor Emperor’s statue, overwhelmed the Cultivators present, and made all Contamination vanish.

The Heavenly Emperor's remaining power erased the Contamination across the Southern Star Realm, though official reports credited the Holy Dragon Society. After the Peace Bureau resumed hunting criminals, Jin Hai captured Chen Yi and brought him to Haosong City, where Chen Yi awaited execution.

• The Emperor Tomb's power erased the Contamination on Vermilion Purple Star, and residents of Longevity Wood Village said the Heavenly Emperor had never truly left.
• Chen Yi, Ji Baiming, and Ji Wuqing paid respects to the cracked statue before leaving the village, and the Emperor Tomb's power later cleared Contamination throughout the Southern Star Realm.
• The Heavenly River Monthly Gazette credited the Holy Dragon Society with eliminating the Contamination, while the Peace Bureau resumed arresting wanted criminals.
• Jin Hai used his Immortal King domain to pursue Chen Yi, Ji Wuqing, and Ji Baiming, then captured Chen Yi despite the Red River Underworld King's phantom and Black Wind's attempt to escape.
• Jin Hai carried Chen Yi to Haosong City, where the Peace Bureau held him bound on an execution platform beneath a guillotine.

Chen Yi learned that the authorities targeted him because he was an ascended member of the Human Race, then faced execution as Jin Hai baited Ji Wuqing and the Kindling Society. A flying sword stopped the guillotine, but Chen Yi did not recognize the rescuer.

• Jin Hai explained that he had captured Chen Yi to lure Ji Wuqing and the Kindling Society into a trap, while Chen Yi warned them not to rescue him.
• Jin Hai revealed that Chen Yi’s Human World origins made him a target for powerful factions, which sought to eliminate Human Race ascenders who were not Desolate Ancient Remnant People.
• Chen Yi realized that his identity had placed him in danger since he entered the Real Realm and that other ascenders from the Human World were also being hunted.
• Jin Hai assembled six thousand guards and senior local fighters at Caishikou for Chen Yi’s execution.
• As the guillotine fell, an unfamiliar flying sword struck it aside and swept sword qi across the city.

The Sword Master, Li Lingyue, and Adou arrived at Haosong City to save Chen Yi from execution. Their rescue left Jin Hai watching for the hidden figure he believed had already arrived.

• The Sword Master stormed the execution ground and used Sword Master Floating to turn the soldiers’ weapons against them, but Jin Hai’s Interpersonal Silk Threads let the soldiers pull their weapons back.
• Jin Hai sensed that a Law’s blessing protected Chen Yi and concluded that his intended target had arrived, then ordered the execution to continue while the Sword Master was pushed back.
• As the executioner raised the blade over Chen Yi, Li Lingyue appeared as a Golden Body Colossus and crushed him with her palm.
• The ground split beneath Haosong City, and Adou emerged, unleashed Sun and Moon in the Same Sky, and shattered the execution blade with a punch.
• Adou told Chen Yi to call him Chen Yixun instead of his childhood name.

Chen Yi and his allies fought to escape Haosong City after Jin Hai sealed it with a cage woven from the city's Interpersonal Silk Threads. Sword Master cut a way through, but Jin Hai appeared in his chariot and declared that their struggle was not over.

• Adou freed Chen Yi and revealed that Li Lingyue had saved him, while Jin Hai used his domain to seal Haosong City and suppress everyone inside.
• Chen Yi, Adou, Li Lingyue, and Sword Master fought the execution ground guards as Chen Yi used his Three Heads and Six Arms talent and Pot Heaven treasures.

• The group reached Jin Hai's steel-cable cage, and Sword Master cut it open with a simultaneous strike from ninety-nine swords.
• Jin Hai arrived in a Pure Gold Chariot pulled by eight White Unicorn Pegasi and announced that the game was over.

Chen Yi and his allies escaped Jin Hai’s grasp when King Zhou intervened, but a disguised Adou suddenly stabbed Chen Yi with an Immortal King’s power and revealed that he had infiltrated the Kindling Society. Chen Yi died, and afterward he concluded that the real Adou must have been replaced at some point.

• Jin Hai trapped Ji Wuqing and her companions in Haosong City and began killing them, while Chen Yi tried unsuccessfully to free them.
• King Zhou appeared, broke Jin Hai’s restraints, and demanded that he let the group go; Jin Hai reluctantly stopped the fight.
• Chen Yi asked Li Lingyue about Adou and their time in the Human World, but a demonic claw burst through Chen Yi’s chest from the person behind him.
• The impostor Adou admitted that Li Lingyue had unknowingly led him to Kindling Society bases, while Jin Hai declared that the trap had succeeded.
• Chen Yi died as Ji Wuqing and the others rushed to fight the enemy, then realized that the real Adou had been replaced and that the circumstances had obscured his Signal Light warnings.

After the sixth simulation, Chen Yi gained its inheritances and reached the mid-Desperate Realm, then learned that he could skip the ten-year cooldown by protecting the Human World's Five Elements Root Artifacts. He accepted a mission to hide at least three artifacts in separate Void Realm planes, leaving the mission at 0/3.

• The afterlife simulation showed Ji Wuqing dying after attacking the Peace Bureau, Chen Yue reviving Chen Yi as a Ghost Cultivator, and the Underworld launching a war against the Tianhe Star System.
• The simulation later revealed the Formless destroying Vermilion Purple Star, Black Wind attacking Peace Bureau headquarters, and Contamination spreading across the Tianhe Star System.
• Chen Yi received the simulation's inheritances and discovered that he had reached the mid-Desperate Realm.
• Chen Yi checked the cooldown and found a guidance mission that would grant a simulation attempt if he hid three Five Elements Root Artifacts in different Void Realm planes.

Chen Yi decided to hide several Five Elements Root Artifacts and flew toward the Southern Border to find Hua Wuyan and the Mountain River Armor. He left Black Wind behind as a brother rather than a mount, and the chapter ended with him wondering whether Black Hand had hidden the Heaven and Earth Sword in another plane.

• Chen Yi chose to hide the Qiankun Mirror, Nine Provinces Cauldron, Sun Moon Tower, and Mountain River Armor to influence the simulation without disrupting its timeline.
• Chen Yi adjusted his entries, prepared to seek Hua Wuyan in the Southern Border, and set out from Chen Mansion.
• Chen Yi told Black Wind to stay home and said they were brothers, then flew away at a speed that tore open space.
• Shen Family Star Martial Group soldiers spotted Chen Yi's passage and hurried to report what they believed was connected to the Qiankun Mirror.
• Chen Yi sensed the soldiers from far away and realized his Spiritual Sense could cover more than half the Human World.
• Chen Yi found no trace of the Heaven and Earth Sword and wondered whether Black Hand had hidden it in another plane.
