Li Pin learned that Yu Jianglong’s twelve refined Star Realm Fragments had left him with greater power but little hope of becoming a Star God, and he asked to see the Yu Family head’s small Star Realm. As Li Pin departed with Yu Jianglong, the Pale Council joined the Gaia Civilization, and Ao Qingcang killed Hong Feng before Li Pin could intervene.

Li Pin defeated Yu Jianglong and discussed the limits of Holy power, competing paths of growth, and the risks of expanding one’s energy and influence. Though he was already qualified to enter the Star Realm, Li Pin chose to wait and continue growing.

• On their return, Yu Jianglong shared information about the great clans of the Yuanyang Star Domain, while Li Pin noted that Star Gods remained its true rulers.

Li Pin arranged for the Si Family to build Gaia’s Epic Light defense system, paying with a divine artifact and directing them to invest in promising Gaia cultivators. After three Star Years of training and Gaia’s rapid expansion, the Divine Treasury Hall summoned him to prepare for the Void Divine Treasury, and he set off for the galactic core.

• The Divine Treasury Hall urged Li Pin to leave, and he traveled toward the Void Divine Treasure Hall under the escort of Xia Yan’s Star God Main Combat Avatar.

Li Pin traveled to the Void Divine Treasure Hall, where Xia Yan introduced him to the Zi Family’s potential support and the challenges of competing for Yinluo Star God’s heir. After reaching the Hall, Li Pin met Third Hall Master Ran Shenji, who probed whether Li Pin had touched upon the concept of “Void” while opening the Moro Divine Treasury.

• Ran Shenji questioned Li Pin about how he opened the Moro Divine Treasury and used a power that bewildered the mind to ask whether Li Pin had touched upon “Void.”

Li Pin confronted Ran Shenji after recognizing his attempt to probe him with Mind Power, and the two nearly came to blows before Bai Chao intervened. Ran Shenji remained suspicious that Li Pin’s transformation and rapid breakthrough were connected to the Void Great Emperor.

• Li Pin accused Ran Shenji of using Mind Power to confuse him and demanded to know whether Ran Shenji had attacked him.
• Ran Shenji questioned Li Pin about contact with void power in Moro World, but Li Pin challenged him to send his Main Combat Avatar and break his mental defenses.
• Ran Shenji released his avatar’s pressure against Li Pin, but Li Pin remained unaffected.
• Bai Chao entered, rebuked Ran Shenji for questioning Li Pin in private, and told Li Pin to leave.
• After Li Pin departed, Ran Shenji told Bai Chao that Li Pin’s altered state and rapid breakthrough might indicate a connection to the Void Great Emperor.

Li Pin met with Fang Chunyang, Fang Zhiqian, and Xu Anping to discuss the Void Divine Treasure and the squad he would lead inside it. They reviewed the theory that the Divine Treasure was a prison for Baili Zhu, while Fang Chunyang and Xu Anping resolved to attempt becoming Star Gods if they returned safely.

• Fang Chunyang told Li Pin that the Void Divine Treasure Hall had selected him to lead a special squad, and Fang Zhiqian and Xu Anping agreed to join him.

• Li Pin said his meeting with Ran Shenji had gone poorly and noticed that Hall Master Bai had sent him a message.
• Fang Chunyang and Xu Anping discussed the dangers of becoming Star Gods and said they would attempt the transformation if they returned from the Void Divine Treasure safely.
• Li Pin urged Fang Chunyang and Xu Anping to encourage one another as they faced the risks ahead.

Li Pin and his squad were summoned by Bai Chao and learned that the reward for opening the Void Divine Treasure World was a standardized divine artifact production line and Tianyan Sect assistance. Shi Keqing revealed that they would enter as judges in a cycle resembling a married couple’s argument, but no pioneer had ever survived completing one cycle.

• Bai Chao summoned Li Pin’s squad and announced the rewards for the team that contributed most to breaking open the Void Divine Treasure World.
• Bai Chao explained that the Lord of the Void Divine Treasury was a witness to the growth of a powerful being in the Void and was close kin to him.
• Shi Keqing revealed that she and her sister Shi Yiren had been trained to perceive the Divine Treasure World, and that their images had disclosed the pioneers’ identities as judges.
• Bai Chao explained that the Divine Treasure World’s cycle resembled a married couple arguing and inviting outsiders to judge who was right.
• Shi Keqing warned that no one had survived completing a cycle, then said that merely looking at Li Pin one more time in the crowd had been enough to end it.

Bai Chao explained the dangers and stages of the Void Divine Treasury World, where a void-aligned being rapidly grew into a demigod on the Supreme Path. He assigned Shi Keqing to Li Pin’s team and, after the others left, gave Li Pin an inheritance of the Supreme Path.

• Shi Keqing explained that the void being killed nearly everyone who witnessed its eternal nothingness, and that breaking the world required persuading it to abandon the void camp.
• Bai Chao outlined the Divine Treasury World’s five stages and warned that the team had to act before the third stage, within one Star Year, without relying on brute force.
• Bai Chao revealed that the void being became a demigod and walked the Supreme Path by the third stage, while the world’s low energy made rapid cultivation difficult.
• Bai Chao said the Divine Treasury Hall hoped to turn the Void Great Emperor back toward existence, and he assigned Shi Keqing to enter the world with Li Pin’s team.
• After the others left, Bai Chao gave Li Pin an inheritance of the Supreme Path.

Bai Chao gave Li Pin a dangerous Supreme Path inheritance and warned him not to cultivate it unless he had no other choice. Studying its void-bound ideal of emotionless omniscience, Li Pin rejected self-erasure and reaffirmed a path centered on the evolving self.

• Bai Chao gave Li Pin the Supreme Sacred Fire inheritance, cautioned him against sharing or cultivating it, and urged him to break open the Void Divine Treasury World.
• Li Pin returned to his residence and studied the inheritance repeatedly, noticing that its final section on transformation had been removed.
• Li Pin concluded that the Supreme Path demanded a mechanical mind or an Innate Sacred Being to shut out emotion and personal perspective.
• Li Pin tried to immerse himself in the described state of eternal void, but the emptiness suffocated and shook his soul.
• Li Pin doubted the Supreme Path and declared that existence, destruction, and even void should serve the evolution of the self.

After years of cultivation, Li Pin reflected on the True Spirit Realm and reviewed his progress toward becoming a Star God. He then gathered his team and departed for the Void Divine Treasury World, where the pioneers of Cold Prison Star Abyss would begin their expedition.

• Li Pin boarded a vehicle with his team and set off for the Void Divine Treasury World as Lie Qingqing shouted her excitement.

Li Pin and the other pioneers gathered at the gate to the Void Divine Treasury, where Misty Dream Star God warned them that powerful figures were watching and urged them to beware of their rivals. After Twilight Sea Star God arrived and ordered the opening to begin, the pioneers prepared to enter the Void World.

• Fang Zhiqian identified hostile Wu Tian and described the other prominent pioneers, including Mu Yunsheng and Yan Ling'er, to Li Pin.

• Misty Dream Star God told the pioneers that the Light of the Universe was watching the Void Divine Treasury and warned them that competition and danger from other teams would be severe.
• Twilight Sea Star God descended, urged the pioneers to break open the Void World, and gave the order to begin deployment.
• Ran Shenji ordered the deployment as more than a thousand tower pillars lit up and the pioneers stepped forward.

Li Pin entered the Void Divine Treasury and used his Mind Power to aim for the strongest veil, hoping to descend near Baili Zhu. He arrived alone in an underground world, where his powers were suppressed and six blood wolves attacked him; he killed or crippled two and drove a wooden stick through a third wolf’s eye.

• Li Pin sensed that the Void Divine Treasury’s Mind Power concealed his knowledge of higher realms and directed his descent toward the strongest veil.
• Li Pin arrived alone in an underground Cave Dweller World and found six blood wolves attacking him.
• Li Pin judged that the wolves were faster and stronger than his mortal body, then ran toward the only useful tree to seize a straight branch.
• Li Pin evaded the first wolf’s pounce, broke the branch against a second wolf, and kicked the animal’s exposed abdomen.
• Li Pin steadied himself and pierced a third lunging blood wolf through the eye with the sharpened end of the broken branch.

Li Pin killed the attacking blood wolves and tested which martial arts he could use in the Moon Demon Realm, then met an armored young man whose language he could not understand. He withdrew to cultivate, hoping to grow strong enough to survive the underground world and eventually face the Void Great Emperor.

• Li Pin smashed and stabbed the blood wolves until the survivors fled, then killed the wounded ones and recovered from the fight.
• He discovered that the Mysterious Gate of Profound Yin and Five Elements Body Refining Technique affected his physique, while the Star God Body Tempering Fist did not.
• Li Pin identified his surroundings as the dangerous underground world of the Moon Demon Realm and decided to build up his strength before returning to the human world.
• An armored young man approached Li Pin, but neither could understand the other's language; Li Pin's test suggested the man was not a major plot character.
• The young man bowed admiringly and left, while Li Pin found a safe place to cultivate the Mysterious Gate of Profound Yin and Five Elements Body Refining Technique.

Li Pin tested the world’s power system, discovered he could cultivate true qi, and rescued Zhao Tiangang, a veteran Silver Pioneer. Zhao Tiangang explained the world’s structure, cultivation systems, and plot, leaving Li Pin aware that the first stage centered on Baili Zhu and Baili Qingfeng’s meeting near Blood Wolf City.

• Li Pin found that he could use his martial arts techniques and refine vital blood into true qi with the Innate Qi Refining Technique.
• Li Pin killed three beasts pursuing Zhao Tiangang, who introduced himself as a Silver Pioneer trapped in the Void Divine Treasury World for 444 Star Years.
• Zhao Tiangang told Li Pin that the Void Divine Treasury World had three realms and that its ancient gods were demigod-level threats.
• Zhao Tiangang described the world’s cultivation systems and said the first stage focused on Baili Zhu and Baili Qingfeng meeting and growing closer.
• Zhao Tiangang said Li Pin was near Blood Wolf City, where Baili Qingfeng would soon encounter Baili Zhu.

Li Pin learned about the Void Divine Treasury World’s story, its cultivation methods, and the Pioneers’ attempts to change Baili Qingfeng and Baili Zhu’s fate. When a beast tide erupted amid the arrival of roughly 130,000 Pioneers, Zhao Tiangang urged Li Pin to flee toward the Barren Realm.

• Zhao Tiangang explained the story’s stages, the dangers facing newly arrived Pioneers, and the cultivation methods available in the world.
• Zhao Tiangang described plans to prevent Baili Zhu and Baili Qingfeng from meeting or to resolve their conflict, while Li Pin argued that Baili Zhu needed to be beaten into correcting her mistaken beliefs.
• Zhao Tiangang explained that Baili Zhu wielded the Supreme Demonic Sword and later became one of the strongest opponents of the Void Great Emperor.
• Li Pin learned that the Void Great Emperor’s growing power and the world’s rules made intervening in the later stages dangerous.
• A beast tide erupted, and Zhao Tiangang suspected it had been triggered by the arrival of about 130,000 Pioneers targeting the still-weak Void Great Emperor.
• Zhao Tiangang urged Li Pin to avoid the Void Great Emperor and leave through Heaven Pillar Plain for the Barren Realm.

Li Pin and Zhao Tiangang fled the beast tide triggered by the arrival of the Pioneers, then hid to recover and discussed the Void Great Emperor. After learning that the Emperor’s human body was already as strong as a level-nine martial artist, Li Pin decided to cultivate until he reached that level and then meet him.

• Li Pin and Zhao Tiangang escaped across the wilderness as the beast tide killed Pioneers and ferocious beasts crowded the underground world.
• They avoided four fleeing Pioneers, then Li Pin stopped to kill three ferocious beasts that had followed them.
• Li Pin and Zhao Tiangang found a hidden fissure, recovered their strength, and discussed the Purple Silver Dual Moon and the lack of human cities underground.
• Li Pin asked about the name Baili Qingfeng, and Zhao Tiangang recognized it as the name the Void Great Emperor used in a human body.
• Zhao Tiangang told Li Pin that the Void Great Emperor’s human body had combat power equal to a level-nine martial artist, and Li Pin decided to cultivate in seclusion until he reached that level before meeting him.

Li Pin rapidly advanced his cultivation in the Void Divine Treasury World, broke through to level ten, and tried to form a Golden Core. He then headed with Zhao Tiangang toward Xia to meet Baili Qingfeng, the Void Great Emperor’s human body.

• Li Pin questioned Zhao Tiangang about the Void Art and studied the Three Thousand Divine Treasuries while continuing to cultivate the Innate Qi Refining Technique.
• After a month of cultivation, Li Pin used his Insight talent to alter his genes toward those of a legendary creature and rapidly increased his strength.
• Li Pin broke through to level ten, attempted to cultivate a Golden Core, and concluded that he had reached the version cap when the attempt failed.
• Li Pin decided to meet the Void Great Emperor, and Zhao Tiangang joined him as they traveled toward the spatial gate at Heaven Pillar Plain.
• At the gate, Zhao Tiangang identified Li Pin as a strongest expert to Xia’s troops, and Li Pin asked them to arrange a plane to take him directly to Xia.

Li Pin arrived in Shaya to find Baili Qingfeng and fight him, but Heavenly Machine Tower and Ancestral Dragon Mountain tried to question and obstruct him. He defeated Bai Xuheng with one punch and continued toward Baili Qingfeng, while Shaya’s witnesses feared the Void Great Emperor’s response.

• Duanmu Rui and Mo Yun tried to divert Li Pin from Shaya, but arranged an aircraft after he insisted on going.
• Bai Xuheng and Bai Xianglong questioned Li Pin about his origins and purpose, and Li Pin demanded to see Baili Qingfeng.
• Li Pin challenged Bai Xuheng and Bai Xianglong, then broke Bai Xuheng’s arms and forced him to his knees with one punch.
• Bai Xianglong, Dong Shengyang, and the other onlookers stood aside as Li Pin left the airport with Zhao Tiangang.
• Shaya’s Pioneer witnesses speculated that Baili Qingfeng would soon return, while Zhao Tiangang worried that Li Pin had acted too conspicuously.

Li Pin reached Shaya and went to Baili Qingfeng’s home, hoping to challenge him and learn how his grandfather had kept the Void Great Emperor’s humanity intact. After Zhao Si declined to fight, Baili Qingfeng returned from his victories, and Li Pin immediately challenged him to a match.
