• Gu Nian'an asked Chen Changan whether he would kill them.

Chen Changan learned from Gu Nian'an about the many Formation Cores and the unknown center of the seal, then set out to find the missing part of himself. After flying for half a month, he encountered a group in the barren mountains who recognized his Divine Emperor Peak cultivation and suspected he had finally appeared.

• Gu Nian'an asked whether Chen Changan wanted revenge for being sealed, and Chen Changan said he held no grudge but might need to undo the seal to reclaim what he had lost.
• Gu Nian'an told Chen Changan that tens of thousands of Formation Cores existed in the Sacred War Ruins, but he did not know where the seal's center was.

• Chen Changan learned that he had to defeat the thirty experts to leave and asked what resources they could provide to help him grow stronger.

• Chen Changan’s defeated opponents told him the next obstacle was in Night Emperor City, and he flew northwest as they worried about the strength of the nine escaped beings.

• Chen Changan traveled for ten days and reached the floating Night Emperor City.
• Hundreds of tall, pale figures with long ears and pupil-less white eyes appeared before Chen Changan and identified themselves as the Night Spirit Race, warning him their trial would be difficult.

Chen Changan entered the Sky-Piercing Tower for the Night Spirit Race’s second trial, whose first-floor condition was to break through to the Ancient God Realm. As he cultivated in its Small World, the Night Spirit Race’s patriarch realized the prepared energy might not be enough for him.

• The Night Spirit Race members led Chen Changan through Night Emperor City and explained that the Sky-Piercing Tower was his second trial.
• Chen Changan entered the tower and learned that its first floor was a Small World where he had to reach the Ancient God Realm.

• The patriarch ordered the Night Spirit Race to prepare more cultivation resources for Chen Changan.

Chen Changan broke through to the Ancient God Realm and entered the Sky-Piercing Tower’s second floor, where he faced a combat-strength trial.

• The Night Spirit Race members debated whether Chen Changan could reach peak Sacred God Realm combat strength, while Chen Changan approached the stele.

Chen Changan’s battle-power test revealed strength far beyond his early Ancient God Realm cultivation, and the Night Spirit Race chief sent him straight to the Sky-Piercing Tower’s ninth floor. The chief struggled to devise a suitable trial and finally proposed that Chen Changan fight the entire Night Spirit Race.

• Chen Changan’s first punch produced a green reading, but his full-powered strike turned the battle-power stele deep yellow, nearly red, while the Night Spirit Race members noted that the Red Dust Sword might make him even stronger.
• Chen Changan asked where the exit was, and the Night Spirit Race chief opened the entrance after realizing Chen Changan had passed.
• The chief told Chen Changan he had reached the ninth floor because his strength was sufficient to skip floors three through eight, and promised to provide cultivation resources he had missed.
• Chen Changan asked whether defeating the chief would clear the ninth floor, but the chief admitted he was likely no match and spent an hour trying to devise different rules.
• The chief proposed that Chen Changan take on the entire Night Spirit Race, promising he could leave if he won.

Chen Changan defeated the Night Spirit Race and learned that one final obstacle remained north of Night Emperor City. There he reunited with Yu Nian Nian, whose challenge began with leading him to a strange place resembling a bridal chamber.

• Chen Changan defeated the Night Spirit Race's patriarch and overwhelmed the gathered members without using his sword.

• Yu Nian Nian explained that the Myriad Ancient Ancestor God had asked her to secure Chen Changan’s offspring to continue his bloodline and help revive the Divine Realm.
• Chen Changan and Yu Nian Nian began battling, and their encounters helped Chen Changan’s cultivation rise while Yu Nian Nian improved her combat experience.

• Yu Nian Nian urged Chen Changan to shorten their rests and try more often to achieve their goal.
• After another twenty years, Chen Changan broke through to the Sacred God Realm, and Yu Nian Nian announced that they had finally conceived.

• Yu Nian Nian admitted she felt lost about becoming a mother, and Chen Changan reassured her that the child would be extraordinary.

• Chen Changan arrived at the sealed area and found thousands of Ancestor God Realm powerhouses guarding it.
• The leader refused to let Chen Changan enter the seal until he advanced to the Ancestor God Realm, so Chen Changan decided to search the Sacred War Ruins for the final Origin Energy of Dao.
• The guardians told Chen Changan the seal remained stable and allowed him to leave for as long as his search required.
• A guardian asked whether Yu Nian Nian was carrying Chen Changan’s child, and Chen Changan warned him not to pursue her.
• The guardian revealed he was the Myriad Ancient Ancestor God’s younger brother and that both brothers had once fallen for Yu Nian Nian.

Chen Changan intimidated the Peak Ancestor God guarding Yu Nian Nian, then searched the Sacred War Ruins for the Origin Energy of Dao. After entering the seal and sensing the energy within, he called out to the being inside as he prepared to meet it.

• Chen Changan threatened the Peak Ancestor God into staying away from Yu Nian Nian and continuing to guard her.

• Chen Changan returned to the seal and walked through it, astonishing the people gathered outside.
• Inside the seal, Chen Changan sensed the Origin Energy of Dao and called out, "Good brother, big brother's here!"

Chen Changan entered the seal and found his long-awaited Origin Energy of Dao, where he met an identical version of himself who had been waiting inside. The other self explained Chen Changan’s origins and urged him to absorb the energy, leaving the two to argue over who would bathe in the pool.

• Chen Changan entered the seal’s center and found a pool of Origin Energy of Dao but no sign of his brother.
• A bright bead rose from the pool and revealed an identical version of Chen Changan, who said the seal had stopped restraining him long ago and he had stayed there to wait.
• The other Chen Changan told him he had been born a Saint, recalled being kicked into the Divine Realm by their father, and said he knew little else about their origins.
• The other Chen Changan explained that they were still one person: Chen Changan had used a suitable person’s womb to restore his original body and had no blood connection to the Chen Family.
• The other Chen Changan said he was only the mind, while Chen Changan possessed the body and abilities, then the two bickered over taking a bath in the Origin Energy of Dao.

After absorbing the Origin Energy of Dao and merging with the final bead, Chen Changan reached the peak of the Sacred God Realm and gained a Sacred Soul. He helped lift the seal on the Sacred War Ruins, which caused the Divine Realm to reassemble, then decided he might leave to find his dad.

• Chen Changan absorbed the Origin Energy of Dao from five places but still could not control its dormant power.
• The phantom fused with Chen Changan, giving him a Sacred Soul and Spiritual Sense that could reach across the Divine Realm.

Chen Changan prepared to leave the Divine Domain for the Sacred Domain, arranging for Mu Yunyao and the others to stay behind and cultivate. After gathering resources for them, he was about to depart when Treading Moon asked to go with him.

• Chen Changan learned that no one knew how to reach the Sacred Domain, so he realized he would have to find a way to leave himself.
• Chen Changan told Mu Yunyao and the others he planned to head to the Sacred Domain, but Mu Yunyao decided they would stay behind to cultivate.

• Treading Moon asked Chen Changan to take her with him.

Treading Moon revealed that the Origin Power of Dao Source within him was the missing key to Chen Changan’s cultivation and gave it to him, enabling him to reach the Early Ancestor God realm. As Treading Moon faded away after opening a passage to the Sacred Domain, Chen Changan entered it and vanished from the Divine Realm.

• Treading Moon asked Chen Changan to take him aside, then revealed that a restriction had kept him from speaking and that he existed to help Chen Changan.
• Treading Moon explained that Chen Changan needed the Origin Power of Dao Source inside him to control the Origin Energy of Dao.
• Treading Moon transferred the power to Chen Changan, who broke through to the Early Ancestor God realm.

• Treading Moon turned into white light and created a passage, and Chen Changan flew into it and disappeared from the Divine Realm.
• Chen Changan’s companions watched him leave and wondered whether they would ever see him again and whether he would be safe.

Chen Changan entered the Barren Desert on the way to the Sacred Domain and learned that entrants had to defeat opponents to qualify for one of five places. Fan Tianhua revealed that the passage had opened more than twenty million years late, so many people might be competing this time.

• Chen Changan entered the passage and found himself in a seemingly endless barren desert leading toward the Sacred Domain.
• Chen Changan encountered Fan Tianhua, who mocked his Early Ancestor God realm and attacked him.
• Chen Changan overwhelmed Fan Tianhua with his aura and forced him to explain the desert’s rules.
• Fan Tianhua explained that winners advanced, losers were sent back to their original divine realms, and only five people could enter the Sacred Domain.
• Fan Tianhua told Chen Changan that the passage had opened more than twenty million years late, so many entrants might appear.

Chen Changan and Fan Tianhua questioned why the Sacred Domain passage had opened after an unusually long delay, then a third contender unexpectedly appeared. Chen Changan sent the newcomer back to his divine realm with one punch, while Fan Tianhua abandoned his pride and asked to continue alongside him.

• Fan Tianhua told Chen Changan that the Sacred Domain passage normally opened once every ten million years, and Chen Changan wondered why the Myriad Ancient Divine Realm had never experienced it.
• A third contender suddenly appeared despite Fan Tianhua’s claim that only two people should be there, and he insisted on fighting his way to the Sacred Domain.
• The newcomer challenged Chen Changan, who knocked him back to his original divine realm with one punch.
• Fan Tianhua begged Chen Changan to spare him, then objected when Chen Changan said he looked like a dog.
• Fan Tianhua immediately barked and praised Chen Changan, who called him shameless and agreed to go with him.

Chen Changan and Fan Tianhua waited in the Barren Desert, where Fan Tianhua fought a Peak Ancestor God opponent while Chen Changan watched. Fan Tianhua struggled to match Chen Changan’s effortless strength, and Chen Changan stepped in to show him how a real battle looked.

• Fan Tianhua followed Chen Changan along the endless road through the Barren Desert, and Chen Changan knocked away an opponent who appeared ahead.
• Chen Changan decided they should wait, produced a reclining chair and fruit, and gave Fan Tianhua a chair that had belonged to his dog Da Huang.
• Fan Tianhua asked about Da Huang and protested when Chen Changan said the dog resembled him in behavior and appearance.
• A Peak Ancestor God appeared, and Fan Tianhua fought him while Chen Changan watched and ate fruit.
• Fan Tianhua’s opponent mocked him and Chen Changan, so Fan Tianhua attacked again before returning to Chen Changan’s side.
• Chen Changan criticized Fan Tianhua’s fighting and said he would show him what a real battle looked like.

Chen Changan and Fan Tianhua watched the Barren Desert’s passageways merge, gathering fifty contestants in a sealed arena for a battle royale with ten places in the Sacred Domain. When one contestant mocked Chen Changan’s Early Ancestor God cultivation and appearance, Chen Changan laughed and called himself kind to the dead.

• Chen Changan made Fan Tianhua’s opponent disappear without Fan Tianhua sensing how, then told Fan Tianhua to stay put.
• Chen Changan and Fan Tianhua saw the desert sand flow as the passageways merged and contestants began appearing around them.
• The number of gathered contestants reached fifty, and swirling sand sealed them inside an arena.
• Writing on the sand announced that ten contestants would qualify for the Sacred Domain, with no rules beyond fighting to survive.
• A contestant ridiculed Chen Changan’s cultivation and appearance, and Chen Changan laughed, saying he was always kind to the dead.
