• Reports about Li Ze’s Soul Will, his victories, and the Land of Source spread throughout the factions, alarming experts across the Infinite Source Space.

The Innate Source Being Faction planned to ambush Li Ze as he left the Dark Ruin Realm, while Yuan warned him of the danger. Li Ze chose to emerge openly as bait so Yuan and the other Cultivator Faction Lords could spring a counterattack against the Source Progenitors.

• The Chaos Bell in Li Ze's Golden Crow Main Body began trembling, and his distant Human Main Body sensed its longing as well.
• Li Ze followed the Chaos Bell's reaction to a bronze-colored rock at the center of the Immortal Star Sea and wondered if the bell wanted to devour it.

Li Ze comprehended the bronze rock’s repeating visions of a star, universes, and returning meteors, discovering they revealed Dao from the Primordial World rather than the Devouring World. His two Inner Universes absorbed this Dao and broke through their limits, giving him a chance to complete his cultivation path despite the world’s opposition.

• Emperor Taiyi said the Chaos Bell’s arrival in the Devouring World and Li Ze’s inheritance of his Golden Crow Essence Blood had allowed them to survive and awaken.

Li Ze learned that Emperor Jun and Emperor Taiyi had recovered and discovered a path for his Inner Universe to overcome its future tribulation through the Primordial World's Dao. Meanwhile, Yuan and the Cultivator Faction prepared to use Li Ze as bait to ambush the Innate Source Being Faction near the Dark Ruin Realm.

• Emperor Jun and Emperor Taiyi chose to enter Li Ze's Inner Universe rather than cultivate new bodies, and Emperor Jun warned that Li Ze's future advance would provoke the Origin Will of Infinite Source Space.

• Back in Eternal City, Li Ze resolved to lie low and prepare for a difficult Source Universe Tribulation, considering the Cosmic Origin, his physical body, and the Dao of the Primordial World as paths to greater strength.

Li Ze spent over a hundred million epochs studying the Primordial World’s Flame Dao with Emperor Taiyi and integrating it into his sword techniques, greatly increasing their power. He then began learning the Spacetime Dao, and after another trillion epochs, he awakened while Emperor Jun explained the foundations of deduction.

• The three brothers decided to notify major factions and trade the palace's location while concealing the area and buying time.
• A Two-headed Giant Wolf from the Innate Source Being Faction recognized the Spiritless God's inheritance but could not enter the lake, so he tried to retreat and alert the Progenitors.
• A brilliant streak of light struck down the Two-headed Giant Wolf, severing both heads and annihilating his soul.

At the Flame Burst Abyss, factions raced to secure the suspected Spiritless God's Legacy as Chi Yao was killed and Yan Guang traded its location to Star Tide Emperor Lord. After traveling for over two months, Star Tide Emperor Lord reached the Ruined Stone Hall and began approaching the Magma Lake, where an array blocked weaker experts.

• A purple figure killed an Innate Source Being Faction expert, then planned to eliminate nearby Source Experts and conceal the Ruined Stone Hall’s location.

Star Tide Emperor Lord killed Yan Peng, concealed the Magma Lake, and began crossing its powerful formations toward Spiritless God’s inheritance. Nan Xing and then Gui Zun arrived, leaving Star Tide Emperor Lord facing a superior opponent as Nan Xing summoned Shadow Walker for help.

• Star Tide Emperor Lord found Yan Peng waiting for reinforcements and killed him with a single strike before collecting his spoils.
• Star Tide Emperor Lord spent three days setting up formations around the Magma Lake, then slowly advanced through the lake’s crushing defenses toward the Ruined Stone Hall.

• Gui Zun arrived, entered Star Tide Emperor Lord’s formations unhindered, and destroyed more than half of them with his illusory light.

Li Ze and the others reached the Flame Burst Abyss before Shadow Walker, forcing Gui Zun to halt his attack as Li Ze prepared to test his new secret technique on him.

• Nan Xing told Shadow Walker that Xing Lan and Gui Zun had reached the Spiritless God's Legacy, and Shadow Walker agreed to go with the young man in the starry robe while Nan Xing offered to delay Gui Zun.
