Chapter Summaries

Lin Yi returned from the Origin Universe Tower after perfecting the Time and Space Origin Laws and obtaining a two-star mark, then concealed his Main Body while meeting Eternal Beginning Dominator through the Virtual Network. Eternal Beginning Dominator decided to reveal Lin Yi’s strength and mark to the Pan-Spirit Alliance, leaving Lin Yi ready for the announcement.

• A black-armored man volunteered to return to endangered Region 3177, and the silver-armored figure warned that he might not come back.

• Eternal Beginning Dominator decided to tell Bright Moon Supreme about Lin Yi’s mark and strength, then announce the Human Race’s second Dominator and Lin Yi’s rise to the entire Pan-Spirit Alliance.

After Lin Yi revealed his two-star mark and the Origin Universe Tower’s connection, the Eternal Beginning Dominator and Zhaoyue planned how the Human Race and Spirit Race would respond. Lin Yi returned to floor 59 to cultivate and gather resources, where he unexpectedly encountered the alien powerhouse he had previously defeated.

• While exploring the Abyss of Spacetime Echoes, Lin Yi came face-to-face with the female alien powerhouse he had previously defeated, and she reacted in disbelief that he was still there.

Lin Yi questioned the alien woman, confirmed that her universe had received the Origin Universe Tower connection notice, and revealed that he had earned a Two-Star Origin Universe Mark and that the tower had only fifty-nine floors. When the tower closed, he spent most of his 298.7 trillion points on cultivation resources, legacies, and gifts, then left to expand his Divine Kingdom and pursue the Dominator realm.

• Lin Yi sealed the alien woman in the void, questioned her about the connection, and learned that everyone in her universe with a One-Star Origin Universe Mark had received the notice.

Lin Yi completed his breakthrough to become a Dominator of space and time, then returned to find the Human Race had honored him with a new peak beside the Eternal Beginning Dominator’s and transformed Silver Blue Star into a major center. After learning that every Supreme planned to attend his celebration, he arrived at his homeworld to inspect the stage for his coronation.

• Lin Yi traveled to Silver Blue Star and saw its greatly strengthened defenses, transformed Moon, and law-infused landscape before appearing above Star Abyss Hall, the planned site of his coronation.

Lin Yi returned to Silver Blue Star, reunited with his family and former comrades, and prepared for his celebration at the newly transformed Star Abyss Hall. At the celebration, the Spirit Race Supremes Primeval Cosmos and Bright Moon arrived, and Lin Yi sensed that both seemed troubled despite their congratulations.

• Lin Yi inspected the spacetime-powered Star Abyss Hall, greeted Xuchen and Prison Suppressor, and learned that the hall was also a strategic defense system for Silver Blue Star.
• Lin Yi visited Silver Blue Civilization's officials, reunited with his family, and reassured the East Peak Mercenary Group veterans that he still regarded them as comrades.

• The celebration began, and Eternal Beginning Dominator and Lin Yi welcomed the arriving guests as Xuan Yan, Sky Halberd, Xuchen, and Prison Suppressor received the Venerable Lord Rank attendees.
• Primeval Cosmos Supreme and Bright Moon Supreme arrived together, and Lin Yi noticed subtle signs of worry beneath both Supremes' composed greetings.

Lin Yi’s celebration as a newly ascended Dominator brought the four Supremes together, who revealed they shared an unexplained premonition of danger. They agreed to strengthen their races and prepare for a possible crisis, while Lin Yi and Eternal Beginning Dominator rushed to convene the Human Race’s Supreme Council.

• Dark Annihilation Supreme and Frost Rainbow Supreme arrived at Star Abyss Hall, where all four Supremes attended Lin Yi’s ascension celebration.
• Eternal Beginning Dominator publicly declared that he wished to stand beside Zhaoyue, and she accepted his pledge.

• Eternal Beginning Dominator and Lin Yi hurried to Origin Abyss Star and called an emergency Supreme Council meeting to prepare the Human Race for war and mobilize its potential.
• The Spirit Race, Abyss Race, Devouring Race, and other factions began opening resources and accelerating the development of their forces.

After Lin Yi and the Eternal Beginning Dominator mobilized their races to prepare for an unknown crisis, Lin Yi received a vision of black mist and monsters eroding the universe. The warning reached every Venerable Lord and above, and the Bright Moon Supreme confirmed that the Pan-Spirit Alliance was entering a war for survival with no way to confront the enemy directly.

• The Eternal Beginning Dominator and Lin Yi ordered the Human Race to release resources, strengthen its forces, and prepare for war, prompting other major races to mobilize as well.
• Lin Yi reviewed the Human Race's gains over the past epoch and learned that Eastern Edge Academy was ready to open with its first 1,000 students.

• Lin Yi and the Eternal Beginning Dominator convened the Human Race's Venerable Lords, explained that an unknown force outside the universe was attacking it, and sought further information from the Bright Moon Supreme.
• The Bright Moon Supreme said the Primeval Cosmos Supreme had ordered the Pan-Spirit Alliance into its highest state of war and urged everyone to grow stronger because the enemy could not yet be reached or understood.

Lin Yi and the races mobilized their resources and forces against the Chaos Beast invasion, but the spreading breaches began contaminating the universe and weakening Origin Law. After two Epochs of worsening losses, Xuan Yan's legion received orders to seal a new breach forming near the K-7783 starfield.

• Bright Moon Supreme and Eternal Beginning Dominator opened their races' resources to Lin Yi, while the Human Race cut merit costs and prioritized cultivation, research, and defenses.
• Lin Yi advanced his Life Origin Law to 77% in one Epoch, then sensed that the protective light in his visions had gone out as Chaos Beasts began invading through breaches across the universe.
• Lin Yi fought Chaos Beasts and discovered that the corrupted universe made Origin Law harder to use and resurrection less reliable, leaving some fallen deities unrecovered.
• After two more Epochs, Lin Yi fully mastered the Life Origin Law, but more than 30% of the Main Universe had fallen and the defensive situation continued to deteriorate.
• Xuan Yan received an alert that a breach was forming near the K-7783 starfield and ordered Thousand Illusions, Ming Luo, and the other gods to seal it before it stabilized.

Lin Yi saved Xuan Yan and Thousand Illusions’ forces from three chaos beasts, sealed their breach, and continued rushing between emergencies as the war worsened. After more than an epoch of fighting and cultivation, he received a vision of a battle-scarred warship arriving above the giant clam that represented their universe and destroying attacking chaos beasts with its shield.

• Xuan Yan and his deities fought three chaos beasts at breach K-7783, and Thousand Illusions ordered squads to burn their divine power to hold the third beast back.
• Lin Yi arrived, disintegrated all three chaos beasts, sealed the breach, and stopped the deities’ divine power from burning further.
• Lin Yi left to answer another distress call, then reflected that the war was worsening and considered revealing Spiritual Enlightenment Qi if half the Main Universe fell.
• After more than an epoch, Lin Yi’s Death Origin Law comprehension reached sixty-two percent as forty-four percent of the Main Universe’s territory fell to chaos beasts.
• Lin Yi saw a vision of a scarred warship emerging from black mist above the giant clam, where its blue shield turned attacking chaos beasts to ash.

Lin Yi and the other Origin Universe Mark holders were taken aboard a warship, where Li offered them passage from the doomed Cosmic Clam. After several leaders chose to sacrifice themselves for a chance to save their civilizations, Li revealed the sacrifice was a test, cleared the Black Silence Beasts, and gave the Cosmic Clam one epoch of concealment before returning Lin Yi to his seclusion.

• Lin Yi, the Eternal Beginning Dominator, the Spirit Race Supremes, and other Origin Universe Mark holders were transported aboard a warship protected by a pale-blue barrier.
• Li of Mist Sea City explained that the Cosmic Clam and Origin Universe Tower belonged to his civilization, and offered to take the mark holders away from the Black Tide.
• Li offered to give the Cosmic Clam one epoch of protection if half the powerhouses sacrificed themselves, prompting Primeval Cosmos Supreme and Eternal Beginning Dominator to volunteer first.
• Bright Moon Supreme and other powerhouses joined the volunteers, while Lin Yi stayed behind and said he hoped to grow strong enough to resurrect them someday.
• Li revealed that the sacrifice offer had been a test, cleared the Black Silence Beasts from the Cosmic Clam, and concealed it for one epoch before sending Lin Yi back to his cultivation site.

Lin Yi and the universe’s leaders mobilized their people to build miniature planetary spaces and gather resources, completing the evacuation before their Main Universe fell silent. After the Mark holders reunited with Li aboard his warship, their former home returned to stillness, and they mourned as Li carried them into the black fog.

• Lin Yi and the other leaders agreed to the Journey Afar plan, mobilized every race, and began clearing Chaos Beasts and constructing miniature planetary spaces.
• Lin Yi and the other Mark holders led expeditions into the Chaos Cosmic Sea, while their races gathered materials and relocated their populations over many thousands of years.
• The final inhabitants left the Main Universe, and the remaining leaders gathered in its empty void before agreeing to follow Lin Yi’s lead on the journey ahead.
• After roughly seven thousand years, Li brought the Mark holders back aboard his warship and announced that their former home had returned to stillness.
• The Cosmic Clam turned ash gray, and Lin Yi, the Supremes, and the other survivors mourned their lost homeland as Li sent them away and sailed into the black fog.

Lin Yi and the other Mark Bearers arrived aboard a warship, where Mantaji assigned them to a dangerous warehouse and gave them Blood Crystals containing knowledge of the Chaos Cosmic Sea. After studying the crystals, Lin Yi and the others learned about the empire, its cultivation system, and the black mist crisis, leaving them to decide how to survive in their new home.

• Mantaji welcomed the Mark Bearers, gave each a Blood Crystal, and offered Lin Yi one of the two vacant rest chambers, but Lin Yi chose to stay with everyone in the warehouse.
• Lin Yi used Zero Three to guide the group to the warehouse district, where they saw powerful and dangerous materials piled without protection and settled in a clear area.
• Lin Yi told the group that their universes were gone and urged them to introduce themselves, set aside their old titles, and study the Blood Crystals together.
• Lin Yi and the others absorbed the crystals' information about the Chaos Cosmic Sea's cultivation realms, the Eternal Cosmos Empire, and the scarcity of spacetime cultivators.
• The group learned that Luo had unified the Chaos Cosmic Sea, founded the empire, and later vanished after the Imperial Capital was destroyed and the Black Mist Sea spread.
• The Blood Crystal revealed that Luo's message had sent the empire searching the black mist for the Imperial Treasure Trove, while Black Silence Beasts emerged from the mist.

Lin Yi and the survivors discussed their debts to the Imperial Army and agreed to pool their resources to help him advance. They joined the Imperial Army as reservists or a full member, and Lin Yi resolved to grow strong enough to secure a new home for their people in Mist Sea City.

• Lin Yi connected the Imperial Treasure Trove to the Purple Mist Space and decided to hide its role in his growth until he had enough strength.
• The group concluded that Lord Li belonged to the Imperial Army and agreed to repay their rescue debt through service; they also chose to pool their resources to cultivate Lin Yi.
• Lin Yi asked Mantaji to let them join the Imperial Army, and Mantaji confirmed that the marked survivors could enlist under restrictions on releasing beings from their Divine Kingdoms.
• Mantaji made Lin Yi a full member because of his two-star mark and accepted the others as reservists, with cultivation as their immediate duty and military merits available for manuals and supplies.
• Lin Yi promised to complete his Origin Law fusion and pursue the True Source Realm so the group could eventually settle their people in Cosmic Clams in Mist Sea City.

After receiving their military badges and learning about Imperial Army benefits, the group exchanged for cultivation guidance and pooled Origin Law treasures for Lin Yi. Lin Yi began cultivating in a training room, but after less than five thousand standard years, violent shaking interrupted his comprehension.

• Zero Three explained reservist and official-member benefits, and Mantaji distributed badges, giving Lin Yi a soldier's badge and the others reservist badges.

• The Supremes began seclusion, while Lin Yi followed Zero Three to a training room and spent nearly ten standard days summoning his three clones.
• Lin Yi assigned his clones to study the Fire, Earth, and Metal laws, then used Spiritual Enlightenment Qi and treasures to advance his Death Origin Law comprehension.
• Before five thousand standard years had passed, the training room shook violently and pulled Lin Yi out of his profound comprehension.

Lin Yi learned that the Bloodrage-class Assault Ship had repeatedly fought Black Silence Beasts during its journey through the Black Mist Sea, while he and the other non-combatants could only stay aboard and cultivate. After a prolonged battle, Zero Three revealed that three Blood Armor Warriors had died after the crew voluntarily returned to the mist under Lord Li's command to save Lin Yi and his Cosmic Clam.

• Lin Yi learned that Zero Three had defeated a Crystal Snail Beast herd, and he told the others in the storage area about the battle.
• Three Blood Armor Warriors delivered the remains of the Crystal Snail Beasts, and Bai Su pointed out that one soldier's armor had been freshly damaged.
• Lin Yi returned to cultivating, mastered the Origin Law of Death, and began comprehending the Origin Law of Metal as the ship fought Black Silence Beasts about once every ten thousand years.
• Zero Three explained that Black Silence Beasts were concentrated near the edge of the black mist and that even Second-Order beasts could be driven into the outer region.
• After nearly a standard day of violent fighting, Zero Three told Lin Yi that three warriors had died and that the crew had voluntarily returned to the black mist under Lord Li's command to save him and his Cosmic Clam.
• Zero Three urged Lin Yi to reach the Eternal Source Realm so the warriors' deaths would not be in vain.

Lin Yi learned that Lord Li’s rescue had cost the lives of five blood-armored warriors and resolved to reach the Constant Source Realm so he could revive them. After Zhaoyue broke through to the True Source Realm and the Bloodrage-class Assault Ship escaped the Black Mist Sea, Lord Li revealed that he wanted Lin Yi to succeed him, leaving Lin Yi only fifteen universal epochs to reach the late stage of the True Source Realm.

• Lin Yi told the others that three blood-armored warriors had died rescuing them and vowed to grow strong enough to revive the fallen.
• Over three epochs, Lin Yi advanced his Origin Law of Metal while the warship fought several battles, losing two more blood-armored warriors and leaving ninety-one alive.
• Zhaoyue reached the True Source Realm, received fifty thousand military merit points, and joined Mantaji’s squad after one epoch of preparation.
• After a battle in which no one died, Zhaoyue returned wounded but safe and described the Black Mist Sea battle to the others.
• Zero Three told Lin Yi that the warship had escaped the Black Mist Sea and led him to meet Lord Li on the bridge.
• Lord Li asked Lin Yi to reach the late stage of the True Source Realm so he could succeed him and protect the blood-armored soldiers, giving him no more than fifteen universal epochs.

Lin Yi completed his cultivation of the nine Origin Laws, expanded his inner universe, and studied how to resonate with the Chaos Rules. After thirteen epochs of secluded practice, he touched the Chaos Rules and broke through to the True Source Realm.

• Lin Yi learned that Lord Li expected him to reach the late True Origin Realm within fifteen Universal Epochs and cautiously promised to do his best.
• After mastering the Fire, Water, Earth, and Wood Origin Laws over the following epochs, Lin Yi received True Source Realm manuals from Mantaji and studied the Chaos Rules.
• Frost Rainbow broke through to the True Source Realm, and Lin Yi congratulated her and sought breakthrough advice from her and Zhaoyue.
• Lin Yi fused all nine Origin Laws, reached perfection in the Cosmic Source Realm, and expanded his inner universe to a large scale.

• Lin Yi told Xuanji to prepare the Divine Kingdom’s residents for its expansion, and Xuanji issued a kingdom-wide emergency plan.
• Xuchen, Xuan Yan, Prison Suppressor, Thousand Illusions, Aurelia, and other residents coordinated preparations, dismantling buildings, securing resources, and moving weaker residents into miniature planetary spaces.
• After five hundred years, Lin Yi began expanding his internal universe; more than three thousand years later, it had become a stable, tenfold-larger chaos source cosmos with grade-seven energy concentration.
• Zero Three informed Lin Yi that he had been assigned to Mantaji’s Third Combat Squad, credited him fifty thousand military merits, and recommended that he ask Mantaji about cultivation arts.
• Lin Yi instead asked to meet Lord Li, who explained the differences between cultivation arts and described the benefits of the True Source Nether-Sundering Battle Canon.
• Lin Yi asked about high-difficulty arts, and Lord Li named the Chaos True Source Illustrated Record, the Return-to-Void Eternal Silence Canon, and the Nine Seal Cosmos Art, which he called the most difficult and powerful art in the Imperial Army’s treasury.

Lin Yi chose the Emperor-created Nine Seal Cosmos Art despite its reputation for extreme difficulty, exchanged for manuals and equipment, and began cultivating it. After forming a Gold Origin Law phantom seal, he refined it into his first Gold Chaos Universe Seal.

• Li explained that the Nine Seal Cosmos Art could strengthen Origin Laws and aid comprehension of Chaos Rules, but warned Lin Yi to abandon it if he could not form a seal within one Universal Epoch.
• Lin Yi exchanged 31,000 military merit for the Nine Seal Cosmos Art, Chaos Rules manuals, and the Military Field Manual, then received Li’s personal cultivation notes.
• Mantaji issued Lin Yi Fierce Blood Battle Armor and a transforming weapon, and told him he had one epoch to study before a squad assessment.
• Lin Yi returned to the warehouse, where Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow advised him on the manuals and admitted they had not formed their first seals.
• Lin Yi studied Li’s notes and used Spiritual Enlightenment Qi to form a Gold Origin Law phantom seal over fifteen thousand standard years.
• Lin Yi endured the seal’s refinement for ninety thousand years until it became a Gold Chaos Universe Seal.

Lin Yi converted the Human Race’s reserve Source Essence Crystals into enough Spiritual Enlightenment Qi for nearly two thousand epochs, then studied chaos rules and made little progress over thirty thousand years. He passed Mantaji’s three-move test by using his Gold Chaos Universe Seal and became Deputy Captain of the Fifth Squad.

• Lin Yi examined his first Cosmic Universe Seal, then took most of the low-grade Source Essence Crystals from the Human Race’s merit treasury and converted them into Spiritual Enlightenment Qi.
• Lin Yi spent a thousand years studying chaos-rule theory and more than thirty thousand years comprehending chaos rules, improving his understanding by less than 0.1%.

• Lin Yi reinforced his spear with Gold Chaos Universe Seal runes and withstood Mantaji’s first two attacks, though the second left him injured.
