• Chen Changan and his companions reached the bright, lush world beneath the abyss and set out to find Chen Tian and the others.
• Dozens of Night Spirit Race members surrounded the group, but revealed that Chen Jie had asked them to direct Chen Changan west.

Chen Changan learned that the exotic beasts had driven the races of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races close to extinction, then left the Night Spirit Race with food before heading south. When he sensed a battle, he flew toward the Linglong Tribe, where more than a hundred exotic beasts had appeared.

• A Night Spirit Race scout told Chen Changan that the exotic beasts hunted roughly once every hundred years on a small scale and every thousand years on a large scale, leaving only about thirty percent of the races’ people alive.
• Mu Yunyao suggested Nian Junxin might have lured Chen Changan there to use him against the exotic beasts, but Chen Changan found their relationship unclear.
• The Night Spirit Race demanded compensation for sharing information, and Chen Changan gave them food after learning they had eaten vegetables for years.

• Chen Changan sensed battle shock waves and flew toward the Linglong Tribe, where more than a hundred exotic beasts had suddenly appeared and the tribe prepared to fight.

The Linglong Tribe battled a horde of strange beasts until Chen Changan arrived and swiftly killed them. After the battle, he noticed something forming inside the beasts as they died and prepared to dissect their corpses.

• The Linglong Tribe's chief led her fighters in trapping the strange beasts with the Nine Bends Linglong Formation, then switched to the Slay Linglong Formation to attack them.
• Dozens more strange beasts appeared, and the Linglong Tribe prepared to fight to the death.
• Chen Changan arrived and killed the beasts outside the formation, while Mu Yunyao, Da Huang, and Little Phoenix refused to fight because the beasts disgusted them.
• Chen Changan entered the Slay Linglong Formation and killed the beasts inside as the Linglong Tribe's chief dismantled the formation.
• Chen Changan noticed something forming inside the beasts when they died and decided to dissect their corpses, but Hongchen refused to help.

Chen Changan dissected the strange beasts he had defeated and examined the crystals inside them, while the Linglong Tribe and its allies thanked him for saving them. He learned they had not seen any other humans, so he continued searching for Chen Tian, Chen Jie, and Chen Ling himself.

• Chen Changan refused to use Hongchen to dissect the strange beasts, and the Linglong Tribe leader lent him weapons before retreating from the stench.

• Chen Changan asked whether the tribes had seen other humans, learned they had not, and decided to continue searching on his own.

Chen Changan and his companions discovered that exotic beast crystals could boost cultivation, and Mu Yunyao used one to break through to the Hegemon Realm. As they continued south to find Chen Tian, the story shifted to Chen Tian and his group arriving in Sky-Holding Clan territory, where the clan’s hatred of the Human Race threatened them.

• Chen Changan left the Linglong Tribe to suffer the stench after they refused to help, then tested an exotic beast crystal and found that the Power of Creation could subdue and transform its energy.

• Chen Changan and his companions resumed their journey south to find Chen Tian before dealing with the Ten Great Treasures and the exotic beasts.
• Chen Tian and his group arrived in Sky-Holding Clan territory, where clan members confronted the Human Race newcomers with hostility.

Chen Tian and Chen Jie tried to persuade the Sky-Holding Clan to cooperate against the alien beasts, claiming Chen Tian’s father could defeat them and oppose Nian Junxin. The clan patriarch remained wary but agreed to host them under guard until Chen Tian’s father arrived.

• Chen Jie argued that the alien beasts threatened every race in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races and that the Human Race was not responsible for the Sky-Holding Clan’s suffering.
• Chen Tian said they did not need the clan’s strength and insisted they could wipe out the alien beasts, prompting the clan members to mock and challenge them.
• Chen Tian stopped the clan members from testing his group and said his father would be the one to deal with the alien beasts.
• Chen Tian claimed his father had destroyed Junxin Pavilion branches without retaliation from Nian Junxin, making the patriarch reconsider cooperation.
• The patriarch ordered lodgings for Chen Tian and his group, placed them under watch, and said their fate depended on when Chen Tian’s father arrived.

Chen Tian and the others eased tensions with the Sky-Holding Clan by sharing food while they waited for Chen Changan. Chen Changan and Mu Yunyao neared the clan’s territory, where Old Jin warned them that the Sky-Holding Clan had once been powerful and resented the Human Race.

• Two Sky-Holding Clan guards entered Chen Tian’s room, and Chen Tian invited them to eat instead of confronting them.
• Chen Jie persuaded the guards that the group posed no threat, and they invited the clan to join a feast.
• Nearly the entire Sky-Holding Clan gathered to eat, while their leader wondered whether Chen Changan could change the fate of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races.
• Over the following days, the Sky-Holding Clan allowed Chen Tian and the others to move freely around its territory, though they remained under watch.
• Chen Changan’s Spirit Guiding Technique led him and Mu Yunyao close to Chen Tian, and Old Jin recognized the Sky-Holding Clan’s territory and warned them of its resentment toward the Human Race.
• Chen Changan dismissed the warning by asking whether the Sky-Holding Clan could be stronger than Shenwei.

Chen Changan fought the Sky-Holding Clan’s patriarch and proved that the patriarch could not harm him. After agreeing to let Chen Tian and the others search for a treasure, the patriarch sought an alliance against the alien beasts, but Chen Changan left the decision to his children and suggested sending them to the beasts’ lair.

• The Sky-Holding Clan’s patriarch confronted Chen Changan and questioned whether he was strong enough to oppose Nian Junxin.
• Chen Tian, Chen Jie, and Chen Ling explained that they sought one of the Ten Great Treasures and had tried to negotiate a partnership with the Sky-Holding Clan.
• Chen Changan challenged the patriarch, then endured his full-power attacks without being injured.
• The patriarch conceded that he could not defeat Chen Changan, allowed the group to search for the treasure, and proposed working together against the alien beasts.
• Chen Changan refused to join the alliance himself and suggested that the patriarch send his children to the alien beasts’ lair for experience.

Chen Changan collected the Ten Great Treasures and discussed eliminating the exotic beasts with Chen Tian, Chen Jie, Chen Ling, and the Sky-Holding Clan patriarch. After Old Jin admitted he did not know how to fuse the treasures with the Nine Profound Token, a messenger reported that the exotic beasts were attacking.

• Chen Changan confronted Chen Tian, Chen Jie, and Chen Ling about making him take the blame, and Chen Tian accepted responsibility as their eldest brother.
• Chen Tian handed Chen Changan five of the Ten Great Treasures, which Chen Changan stored in the Jade Bottle of Fortune.
• Chen Jie and Chen Ling said eliminating the exotic beasts would bring a huge harvest and prevent trouble, and the Sky-Holding Clan patriarch agreed to cooperate.
• Chen Changan asked the Sky-Holding Clan patriarch about Nian Junxin, then found the last of the Ten Great Treasures.
• Old Jin admitted he did not know how to fuse the Ten Great Treasures and the Nine Profound Spirit with the Nine Profound Token, just as a messenger warned that the exotic beasts were attacking.

After the beasts launched sudden attacks on other races, Chen Changan went alone to their lair while the Sky-Holding Clan patriarch and Chen Tian’s group went to help the victims. Chen Changan found an apparently endless horde of powerful beasts and realized he needed to locate the hidden passage feeding them into the lair.

• The Sky-Holding Clan patriarch told Chen Changan that the beasts were attacking other races in large numbers, and Chen Changan proposed splitting up to rescue them and investigate the lair.
• Chen Changan sent Chen Tian and the others with the Sky-Holding Clan, while Mu Yunyao and the rest stayed behind and teased him as he prepared to go alone.
• The Sky-Holding Clan patriarch gave Chen Changan directions to the beasts’ lair and led his people to assist the other races.
• Chen Changan and Old Jin reached the lair and found countless beasts, each at least at the World King Realm, though Old Jin said none had existed in the Nine Profound Domain in his time.
• Chen Changan slaughtered beasts for an hour, but their numbers did not diminish, and he concluded that a hidden passage was continually bringing them in.

Chen Changan and Hongchen found the passage entrance in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races, where Chen Changan killed a World King God-level exotic beast and wiped out the surrounding beasts. He sealed the entrance to rest and recover, admitting he was not yet confident he could face the Lord of Exotic Beasts.

• Hongchen fought off the exotic beasts while Chen Changan searched for the passage entrance, then returned to him when he found it.
• Chen Changan and Hongchen charged toward the entrance, and a World King God-level exotic beast emerged to confront them.
• Chen Changan’s combat power surged a thousandfold, and he killed the World King God-level beast and the nearby exotic beasts with a single sword strike.
• Chen Changan sealed the entrance and slaughtered the remaining beasts, then called Gou Sheng to burn their corpses while preserving the crystals inside.
• Chen Changan told Old Jin that the fight had used about a tenth of his energy, but killing the beast had pushed him to his limit, so he needed to grow stronger before facing the Lord of Exotic Beasts.

Chen Changan killed the exotic beasts and used their crystal stones to prepare for a breakthrough to the World God Realm, leaving Hongchen and Gou Sheng to guard the seal. News of his victory reached the Sky-Holding Clan and the Night Spirit Race, whose chiefs set out to verify it.

• Chen Changan collected the crystal stones from the slain exotic beasts and said they might barely be enough to help him break through to the World God Realm.
• Chen Changan left Hongchen and Gou Sheng to watch the seal, then divided the crystal stones between his cultivation and the Jade Bottle of Fortune.
• Mu Yunyao and the Sky-Holding Clan continued eliminating the remaining exotic beasts while the clan chief questioned why Chen Changan had left their corpses behind.
• The Night Spirit Race's chief reported that its patrol members had witnessed Chen Changan kill all the exotic beasts at their lair.
• The Sky-Holding Clan's chief and the others, stunned by how quickly the threat had been eliminated, decided to go see the lair for themselves.

Mu Yunyao and the Sky-Holding Clan chief learned that the exotic beasts had poured through a hidden passage and stayed to guard its seal while Chen Changan cultivated. After more than ten years, Chen Changan began breaking through to the World God Realm, and his aura astonished everyone.

• Hongchen told Mu Yunyao that Chen Changan had killed the exotic beasts in the lair and was cultivating while a sealed passage nearby continued to threaten them.
• The Sky-Holding Clan chief explained that a terrifying roar had once driven the exotic beasts back into battle after the races nearly defeated them.
• Mu Yunyao, Hongchen, Da Huang, and the Sky-Holding Clan chief agreed to guard the passage while Chen Changan cultivated.
• After a year without visible progress, Mu Yunyao explained that Chen Changan needed an immense amount of energy to break through.
• More than ten years later, Chen Changan released a powerful aura as he began breaking through, leaving the Sky-Holding Clan chief shocked by its intensity.

Chen Changan entered the passage after the seal shattered, while Mu Yunyao and the Sky-Holding Clan leader worked to seal it behind him. Inside, he found no exotic beasts, only a foul black fog and sludge, and had Gou Sheng burn away the fog.

• Mu Yunyao and the Sky-Holding Clan leader discussed the exotic beasts’ repeated attacks on the seal and the theory that they grew stronger by devouring their own kind.
• Da Huang warned that the seal had cracked, and a surge of energy from the entrance shattered it completely.
• Chen Changan told the others to reseal the entrance and charged into the passage as Mu Yunyao and the Sky-Holding Clan leader reinforced the seal.
• Chen Changan found no exotic beasts inside and recoiled from the black fog and filthy ground.
• Gou Sheng summoned a sea of flames that cleared the black fog, revealing the surroundings to Chen Changan.

Chen Changan searched the exotic beasts’ lair but found it empty, then realized the beasts had used his absence as a diversion. He rushed back as the breached entrance let more exotic beasts pour out toward Mu Yunyao and the others.

• Chen Changan searched the lair and found no exotic beasts or traces of their auras, while Hongchen and Gou Sheng joked about making him enter the black liquid.
• Chen Changan had Hongchen and Gou Sheng attack the liquid to open a path, then descended to the bottom and still found nothing.
• Hongchen suggested the exotic beasts might be using the empty lair to divert Chen Changan from the entrance, and he realized they could be attacking outside.
• Chen Changan hurried back as the seal at the entrance was breached again and exotic beasts poured out.
• Mu Yunyao and the others braced themselves for the approaching beasts and hoped to hold on until Chen Changan returned.

Mu Yunyao and the Sky-Holding Clan patriarch tried to rally the races to flee the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races as Chen Changan fought through waves of World King God-level ferocious beasts. Chen Changan reached the entrance and returned to find an even larger horde waiting, dominated by a colossal behemoth.

• Mu Yunyao, Da Huang, and Little Phoenix fled when a colossal behemoth emerged, while Ren Xuan had already disappeared.
• Mu Yunyao urged the Sky-Holding Clan patriarch to evacuate the races from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races, and he agreed after realizing the ferocious beasts could kill them there.
• Chen Changan returned to the entrance and found dozens of World King God-level ferocious beasts waiting as part of a diversion.
• Chen Changan killed nearly ten thousand beasts, then sent Hongchen and Gou Sheng to help clear a path while he advanced and collected crystal stones.
• Chen Changan passed through the entrance and found at least ten times as many ferocious beasts outside, including a colossal behemoth.

Chen Changan confronted the Fierce Creature that had supposedly been destroyed by the Ten Great Races and learned it could resurrect. The creature revealed its former partnership with Nian Junxin had ended and invited Chen Changan to work with it.

• Old Jin warned Chen Changan to flee, recognizing the colossal monster as the Fierce Creature and insisting Chen Changan could not defeat it.
• The Fierce Creature spoke to Chen Changan, confirmed it had destroyed the Ten Great Races, and admitted it was the same creature they had fought before.
• Chen Changan questioned how the Fierce Creature had survived, and it said it had died but could come back to life.
• The Fierce Creature said it had once cooperated with Nian Junxin but no longer did, then asked Chen Changan to work with it.

Chen Changan learned that Nian Junxin had used the Fierce Creature to raise exotic beasts and feed it, and the creature asked him to help kill her. He accepted its crystals and left the lair, while Old Jin warned him about the dangers and urged him to merge with the Nine Profound Token.

• The Fierce Creature explained that Nian Junxin had hidden it, helped it regain strength, and supplied it with races to eat.
• The Fierce Creature asked Chen Changan to deal with Nian Junxin because it could not yet leave its lair, and it offered him a field of crystals as payment.
• Chen Changan accepted the offer and gathered the crystals, privately intending to kill Nian Junxin regardless of the deal.
• After the Fierce Creature withdrew, Chen Changan told Old Jin he had not sworn an oath and could interpret his promise as he wished.
• Old Jin urged Chen Changan to merge with the Nine Profound Token as soon as possible.

Chen Changan returned after negotiating with the Lord of Exotic Beasts and revealed that it had intended to use the races as food. He urged the races to form the Ten Thousand Races Alliance, then explained the Lord’s scheme to his family and prepared to distribute a powerful gift.

• Chen Jie reassured Mu Yunyao that the exotic beasts had not targeted the races and were likely after Chen Changan.
• Chen Changan returned and told everyone that the exotic beasts had withdrawn for now, but that the Lord of Exotic Beasts viewed the races as food.
• Chen Changan urged the races to leave the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races and form the Ten Thousand Races Alliance in one region for mutual protection.
• The Sky-Holding Clan’s patriarch accepted the proposal, and the races agreed to prepare to leave.
• Chen Changan told Mu Yunyao that the Lord of Exotic Beasts was the resurrected Fierce Creature and intended to use him against Nian Junxin before reaping the benefits.
• Chen Changan said he would keep increasing his strength and began preparing to hand out gifts.

Chen Changan distributed crystals to his companions and led them into seclusion in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races, preparing for Nian Junxin’s next move. After three hundred years of his absence left the Nine Profound Domain wondering whether he was dead, Da Huang reached the peak of the World God Realm and Chen Changan announced his return.

• Chen Changan gave his companions crystals, then added another million for each after they complained, while Mu Yunyao reminded them that his cultivation required immense energy and the Jade Bottle of Fortune could produce more.
• Chen Tian and the others left the Abyss of Ten Thousand Races, while Chen Changan ordered his remaining companions to cultivate there until they reached the peak of the World God Realm and set Little Phoenix the goal of reaching the World King God Realm.
• Chen Changan vanished from public view, and the Junxin Pavilion’s branches also fell silent as unease spread throughout the Nine Profound Domain.
• Three hundred years passed, and people speculated that Nian Junxin had killed Chen Changan while the Ten Thousand Races Alliance became the domain’s strongest force in his absence.
• Da Huang emerged from seclusion after reaching the peak of the World God Realm and challenged Chen Changan to demonstrate some style.
• Chen Changan raised his head and shouted, “I, Chen Changan... have returned!”

After a three-hundred-year retreat, Chen Changan and his companions reached new heights in cultivation, and he set out for Nine Heavens Mountain to learn its secrets and discover how to merge the Nine Profound Tokens. He reached the Eighth Mountain and greeted the Heavenly Feng Three Elders, who asked whether he intended to climb to the summit.

• Da Huang complained that Chen Changan and Little Phoenix were show-offs, while Mu Yunyao and Little Phoenix dismissed his complaints.
• Chen Changan said he needed to find a way to merge the Nine Profound Tokens and uncover the secrets of Nine Heavens Mountain before confronting Supreme Heaven.
• Chen Changan and his companions traveled to Nine Heavens Mountain, while others who heard of his return worried that conflict with Junxin Pavilion would endanger the Nine Profound Domain.
• Chen Changan left Mu Yunyao and the others below and flew to the Eighth Mountain, where the Heavenly Feng Three Elders noticed his rapid progress.
• Chen Changan greeted the Heavenly Feng Three Elders, and they asked if he planned to reach the summit of Nine Heavens Mountain.

Chen Changan faced the Heavenly Feng Three Elders’ trial to prove he was qualified to climb Nine Heavens Mountain. He adapted to their overwhelming pressure, but the elders warned that overcoming it alone did not mean he had passed.

• The Heavenly Feng Three Elders unleashed their full pressure, pinning Chen Changan down and affecting Da Huang, Little Phoenix, and Mu Yunyao below.
• Mu Yunyao noticed that Ren Xuan seemed unusually unaffected, though he claimed his weak cultivation made the pressure lighter.
• Chen Changan stopped resisting the pressure directly and found the point where the three elders’ auras intersected.
• Chen Changan blended his presence into that point and became able to move freely through the elders’ pressure.
• Chen Changan asked whether he had passed and could climb Nine Heavens Mountain, but the elders told him the trial was not over.

Chen Changan challenged the Heavenly Feng Three Elders to fight him together for his trial, and their attacks failed to hurt him. The elders became fascinated by his resilience and kept trying to strike him even after the trial time had expired.

• Chen Changan asked the Heavenly Feng Three Elders to attack him together, and they agreed to test his strength in a separate space.
• Chen Changan charged at the elders with Sword Qi, but they scattered it with a thought and suspected he was holding back.
• The three elders struck Chen Changan with a devastating combined attack, and he took it head-on without a scratch.
• The elders attacked again with greater force and still could not hurt Chen Changan, so they argued over who would get to hit him next.
• Chen Changan pointed out that the incense-stick trial time had ended, but the elders insisted on striking him once more.

After passing the Heavenly Feng Three Elders’ test, Chen Changan entered Nine Heavens Mountain and climbed its apparently empty, peaceful slopes. At the summit, an unseen voice transported him to an unfamiliar space, where he demanded to know who was speaking.

• Chen Changan asked the Heavenly Feng Three Elders about their strength and Nine Heavens Mountain’s secrets, and they told him he had passed their test and could enter.
• The Heavenly Feng Three Elders said they hoped Chen Changan could succeed at the summit, believing he might be their only chance.
• Inside Nine Heavens Mountain, Chen Changan discussed the mountain’s mysteries with Old Jin and quickly climbed to the empty summit.
• Chen Changan called for whoever was hiding to reveal themselves, and an unseen voice told him to come closer.
• A mysterious energy transported Chen Changan to an unfamiliar space, where he questioned the unseen speaker about their identity.

Chen Changan met the Lord of Heavenly Feng, who explained that he had created the Nine Profound Domain with the Nine Profound Token. The Lord asked Chen Changan to travel three trillion years into the past and retrieve something from Heavenly Feng, but Chen refused.

• The Lord of Heavenly Feng introduced himself and revealed that he had created the Nine Profound Domain with the Nine Profound Token.
• Chen Changan rejected the Lord’s claim that the domain’s inhabitants were his children and asked why he had created the domain.
• The Lord said he needed someone to retrieve an object from Heavenly Feng, which still existed in the past.
• The Lord offered to open the River of Time so Chen Changan could travel to Heavenly Feng three trillion years ago.
• Chen Changan questioned the risks and possible consequences of changing the past, then refused to undertake the mission.
