• You returned to the Human World through the Void-Piercing Divine Altar, and Chen Liu rushed to greet you before you withdrew him into your body.
• You asked Chen Liu to report on the fifteen people who had attempted the Ascension Path; he said ten had entered the Real Realm and five had given up.

• You recalled Wan Jianyi as the Cauldron Summit Tournament champion and later Sect Master of the Wuji Sword Sect.

You visited Third Sister Chen Yun’s grave and left Chen Liu in the Human World to protect it and guide ascenders. While searching for the Black Hand on the way to the Divine Weapon Pavilion, you encountered Hua Wuyan and then spotted Xiaoyao God preaching at Xiaoyao Holy Land.

• You learned that Chen Yun had died at ninety despite Chen Liu’s efforts to ease her illness, and you comforted him as he mourned at her grave.

• Hua Wuyan mistook you for Chen Liu, and she declined your suggestion to travel to the Real Realm because she calmly accepted death.
• You saw Xiaoyao God preaching at Xiaoyao Holy Land and decided to remind him about the Ascension Path.

Chen Yi visited Xiaoyao God to tell him that the Ascension Path had opened, but discovered that he could not hear Xiaoyao God’s inner thoughts and grew suspicious of his past. When Xiaoyao God refused to show him the Time Chamber, Chen Yi attacked Xiaoyao Holy Land and demanded the treasure, leaving the Holy Land calling for Hua Wuyan.

• Chen Yi accused Xiaoyao God of having no Time Chamber and attacked him, then threatened to level Xiaoyao Holy Land unless he handed it over.
• Xiaoyao God rallied the Holy Land’s top fighters against Chen Yi, while the panicked crowd called for Hua Wuyan.

• You questioned Xiaoyao God about the Heaven and Earth Sword, judged that he was telling the truth, and left him alive so you could investigate him further.
• You returned to White Cloud County, ordered Chen Liu to monitor Xiaoyao God, and went to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to retrieve the Fire-Eyed Golden Monkey.

Chen Yi gained the Upright Human trait and focused on cultivation at Guxiao Mountain with the Ji Family. Ten years later, he and Ji Wuqing went to the Kindling Society base to test whether Adou or either of two other Destined Ones owned the Vast Sun Ring.

• Chen Yi replaced Leader Aura with Upright Human, which strengthened his traits when he appeared in his original form and weakened nearby Alien Races.

• Chen Yi brought the genuine Vast Sun Ring for the test, while keeping his copied version and the copied Black Monkey King Seal Stone untested.

Chen brought Adou to the Destined One test, where the Kindling Society examined who could master the Vast Sun Ring. After Bao Hongyi and Li Wanqing failed to claim it, Adou was the last candidate to try.

• Adou reunited with Chen and asked him to take him back to the Feathering Star System to see his parents.
• Chen met the other Destined Ones, Bao Hongyi and Li Wanqing, before the test began outside the underground city.

• Bao Hongyi failed to control the ring and concluded it was not meant for him.
• Li Wanqing briefly wore the ring, but removed it and said it was not hers, leaving Adou as the final candidate.

Adou bonded with the Vast Sun Ring and spent years learning to use it while Chen Yi cultivated in seclusion. After a decade of training, Chen Yi used Jiahao Behavior to break through to the Early Heaven-Reaching Stage.

• The Vast Sun Ring recognized Adou as its master, and the Kindling Society celebrated his potential.
• He Xiangdong arranged for Adou to remain at the base and learn to wield the Vast Sun Ring, delaying his trip to Spirit Micro Star.
• After five years, Adou contacted Chen Yi through Ji Wuqing, but Chen Yi was still in seclusion and asked Strategist He to arrange Adou's journey home.

• At age one hundred and sixteen, Chen Yi spent 200,000 Jiahao Points to break through from the late Desperate Realm to the Early Heaven-Reaching Stage.

After reaching the Heaven-Reaching Realm, Chen Yi learned that filling his Origin Core would take far longer and decided to strengthen his combat abilities. Ji Wuqing arrived to report that the Kindling Society base was under attack, and Chen Yi set out to find Adou as the survivors fled the planet-wide assault.

• Chen Yi considered comprehending more Heavenly Constellation Divine Abilities because the Heaven-Reaching Realm required vastly more Divine Power to cultivate.
• Ji Wuqing crashed into Guxiao Mountain and told Chen Yi that the Kindling Society was under attack and its members were being hunted across Vermilion Purple Star.
• Chen Yi transformed into a red-scaled divine Dragon and carried Ji Wuqing toward Adou, using Aura of Ten Thousand Races to track Holy Dragon People.
• Adou fled with He Xiangdong and other Kindling Society members as the Holy Dragon Society's forces sealed off the planet and destroyed the underground base.
• He Xiangdong stopped Adou from turning back and explained that the enemy wanted to capture Destined Ones alive, then led the survivors toward a possible safe refuge.

Jin Hai tracked He Xiangdong and Adou as the Kindling Society’s members sacrificed themselves to help them escape. Just as Jin Hai cornered the remaining defenders, a fire dragon arrived with a human woman standing on its head, and Adou recognized the newcomer as Uncle Chen.

• Jin Hai used Luo Kai’s exposed identity to locate He Xiangdong’s group, and Luo Kai and dozens of Kindling Society members stayed behind so He Xiangdong could flee with Adou.

• Adou recognized the arrival as Uncle Chen and urged Lin Strongman to stop.

Chen Dong joined the three He Xiangdongs to fight Immortal Lord Jinhai and the Peace Army, empowering his Spirit Treasures with Myriad Weapons Awakening. As Jin Hai attacked the three rebels with his Interpersonal Index Law, Chen Dong's Immortal-Binding Rope trapped them and tangled his threads.

• Chen Dong sent Ji Wuqing to escort Adou away, and Adou handed over the Vast Sun Ring and Cloudglow Feather Robe before fleeing with Lin Zhuanghan.
• Chen Dong transformed into Three Heads and Six Arms, wielded six Spirit Treasures, and used Myriad Weapons Awakening to raise them to Pre-celestial Spirit Treasure strength.

• Jin Hai entered the fight with Endless Sea of People and used the Interpersonal Index Law to turn nearby threads into blades aimed at the three He Xiangdongs.
• Chen Dong cast Immortal-Binding Rope around the three He Xiangdongs, tangling and obstructing Jin Hai's threads.

Chen Yi and his sentient weapons overwhelmed Jin Hai while He Xiangdong and two Kindling Society cultivators routed the Peace Army. After the trio collapsed from their forbidden art, Chen Yi revealed his true form and powered up to strike Jin Hai with an enhanced Dragon Race Bane.

• Chen Yi and the Immortal Artifacts disrupted Jin Hai's attacks with their weapons and relentless chatter, while Chen Yi protected He Xiangdong and the other two.

• Chen Yi closed in on Jin Hai and attacked with the empowered Dragon Race Bane.

Chen Yi killed Jin Hai, saved He Xiangdong with a Heaven-Restoring Pill, and collected Jin Hai’s treasures. He left with a haul of Pre-celestial Spirit Treasures while insisting he would not abandon his old artifacts.

• Chen Yi killed Jin Hai with his six hands and Samadhi True Fire while the Myriad Souls Banner and the Immortal Artifacts suppressed Jin Hai’s soul.
• Chen Yi revealed his true form, taunted Jin Hai, and watched him die without escaping or landing a counterattack.

Chen escorted He Xiangdong to reunite with Adou and the surviving Kindling Society members, who rested and then set out for Out-of-World Village. An Immortal King’s domain halted the five travelers, and a Holy Dragon Person’s face appeared in the clouds to confront He Xiangdong.

• Chen told He Xiangdong that Out-of-World Village was not part of the Kindling Society, though its elders had secretly helped the society escape.
• Chen caught up with Adou and his escorts, and the group rested in a concealed cave after fleeing for five days and nights.
• He Xiangdong received no messages through the Neighbor Box, while Adou feared the other Kindling Society members had died.

• Before dawn, Chen, Adou, He Xiangdong, Lin Zhuanghan, and Ji Wuqing set out and were stopped by an Immortal King’s domain pressure.
• A Holy Dragon Person formed a giant face from clouds and told He Xiangdong there was nowhere left to run.

Chen fought the Hurricane Immortal King’s domain as the Holy Dragon Society tried to capture Adou, and He Xiangdong and Uncle Lin risked their lives to hold on to him. Chen broke through the domain’s suppression and unleashed a devastating Light Speed Fist, whose impact lit the sky like a small sun.

• Chen used Blazing Samadhi True Fire and Quantum Ghost Steps to escape the Hurricane Immortal King’s gale, but the Immortal King’s tornadoes struck him and Adou down and seized them both.
• Chen opened the Pot Heaven space and sent the Vast Sun Ring to Adou, who hurled it at the Hurricane Immortal King, but the Immortal King’s domain suppressed its power.
• He Xiangdong and Uncle Lin charged through the domain and grabbed Adou’s feet, enduring severe wind-blade injuries rather than letting him be taken.
• Chen activated the trait Upright Human, broke through the domain’s suppression, and shot into the sky with a Light Speed Fist.
• Chen’s punch struck a target beyond the atmosphere, creating a sunlike burst whose shockwaves swept across the land.

Chen was struck down by Hurricane Immortal King, prompting Ji Wuqing to fight back before she was crushed. Adou surrendered to spare his companions, then ordered the Vast Sun Ring to kill him.

• Hurricane Immortal King attacked Chen with a space-piercing black falcon, and Chen transformed into Shi San before the strike reduced him to blood mist.
• Ji Wuqing broke free of the wind field and charged toward Hurricane Immortal King, but he blasted her back down.

• Adou tried to kill himself, but Hurricane Immortal King restrained him with compressed air and wind pressure.
• Adou summoned the Vast Sun Ring and shouted for it to kill him, shocking Ji Wuqing, He Xiangdong, Lin Strongman, and Hurricane Immortal King.

Adou sacrificed himself with the Vast Sun Ring to avoid being captured and turned against his people, while Chen Yi recovered and watched him die. With two Immortal Kings threatening Chen Yi and Ji Wuqing, Chen Yi waited for his next trait draw and called for Venom.

• Adou used the Vast Sun Ring to pierce his own chest, thwarting the Holy Dragon Society's attempt to capture him alive.
• Chen Yi recovered and reached Adou as Hurricane Immortal King tried to save him, but Adou's soul had already been shattered.
• Adou died in Chen Yi's arms, and the Myriad Souls Banner and the Immortal Artifacts emerged, eager to avenge him.
• He Xiangdong and Lin Zhuanghan died from their wounds, and Chen Yi closed their eyes.
• A second Immortal King arrived and ordered Chen Yi and Ji Wuqing killed; Chen Yi watched his trait-draw countdown and called for Venom.

Chen Yi equipped Venom during a battle with two Alien Race Immortal Kings, gaining enough strength to fight them despite lacking their domain abilities. He summoned two versions of the Black Monkey King to help, then set them against the Immortal Kings to prove which one was real.

• Chen Yi replaced High-Grade Bone Structure with Low-Grade Bone Structure and equipped Mortal Bone, Venom, and Phantom of Civil War.
• Venom transformed Chen Yi and empowered him to survive the Hurricane Immortal King's attack, after which he awakened and wielded the Vast Sun Ring.
• Chen Yi charged into space and struck the Hurricane Immortal King, but the second Immortal King joined the fight and their combined domains suppressed him.
• Chen Yi opened Pot Heaven and shattered two Black Monkey King Seal Stones, releasing the Black Monkey King and the Budget Black Monkey King.
• The two Black Monkey Kings fought over which was real, and Chen Yi challenged them to kill the two Immortal Kings to settle the dispute.

Chen Yi's simulated self survived the assault on the Kindling Society's base but became increasingly erratic under the Venom trait, striking Ji Wuqing and watching the Immortal Kings battle. After the genuine Black Monkey King defeated his copy, he and Chen Yi agreed to seek treasure together, leaving to pursue bananas and immortal wine.

• Chen Yi's simulated self ignored Ji Wuqing's warnings, struck her into the distance, and watched the battle from his mountain.
• The genuine Black Monkey King smashed the knockoff Black Monkey King, while the two Holy Dragon Race Immortal Kings withdrew to seek reinforcements.
• The Black Monkey King questioned Chen Yi's strange strength and evil qi, and Chen Yi proposed that they conquer the Southern Star Realm together.
• Chen Yi promised to lead the Black Monkey King to thousand-year bananas and Heavenly Spring Jade Dew Immortal Wine, and the Black Monkey King eagerly agreed to go.

Venom followed the Black Monkey King through random spatial jumps instead of conquering Vermilion Purple Star, leaving Chen Yi worried that the simulation had gone off course. The pair reached Monte Cape Star, where Venom vented his frustration by slaughtering hippos.

• Venom and the Black Monkey King agreed to seek a Special-Class Star, and the Black Monkey King opened a spatial tunnel with his staff and fur.
• The pair emerged near a hollowed-out resource planet, and the Black Monkey King admitted that he had teleported at random and did not know where they were.
• Chen Yi realized the simulation’s plans had been disrupted and worried that Venom would be stranded while pursuing dangerous Special-Class Stars.
• After recovering his immortal power, the Black Monkey King opened another tunnel and brought Venom to Monte Cape Star, where the Ares Immortal Kingdom raised hippos.
• Venom charged onto Monte Cape Star and slaughtered hippos to vent his anger.
