Chapter Summary: Foreseeing the Future, Emerging from Seclusion

Key Plot Points and Events

• After breaking through, the protagonist uses the changing rules of Qingming Hetong Heaven to seize control of Tuo through a Clone Projection and bring him before the main body in Myriad Immortal City.
• The protagonist realizes that, within Qingming Hetong Heaven, Tuo can potentially be erased completely—body, spirit, origins, and traces—without even the creator of Tuo’s divine ability discovering the cause.
• A new ability emerges from the protagonist’s breakthrough: a natural form of future calculation connected to the Primordial Qi of Time Sequence. Unlike the Lifebound Double Pupils, which can foresee events far into the future, this ability reveals many possible near-future outcomes.
• Terrified by the danger foreseen through his Shen Du Zhao Ming ability, Tuo is rendered helpless before the protagonist.
• Seeking information about the Ring Lord and the mysterious Hidden Force, the protagonist examines Tuo’s past through the River of Time. The protagonist can now view a longer span of history and stop before reaching the limits of the ability.
• However, information related to Xuankong remains sealed by a mysterious restriction, just as it was when the protagonist investigated Yu Xuan Ji. The Hidden Force has clearly anticipated such methods of inquiry.
• Rather than force Tuo to reveal information and risk triggering the restriction—which might kill Tuo and expose Qingming Hetong Heaven—the protagonist decides to test and manipulate him into voluntarily sharing whatever he can safely disclose.
• Outside Qingming Hetong Heaven, Witch Emperor Houtu arrives to report that the protagonist’s breakthrough has succeeded. Lingbao Immortal Emperor nevertheless refuses to leave until he personally confirms the protagonist’s safe emergence.
• Houtu is puzzled by Lingbao’s unusually serious dedication to guarding the protagonist’s Dao. She considers her own role merely an obligation, whereas Lingbao is guarding with extraordinary effort because the protagonist’s breakthrough is connected to his own Dao Path.

His control over time becomes more precise, his spirit grows stronger, and he becomes capable of seeing immediate possible futures and examining the past more deeply. He also demonstrates greater caution, choosing indirect investigation over reckless coercion.
• Tuo: Is completely overwhelmed by the protagonist’s new power. His own divine ability repeatedly warns him of imminent death, leaving him unable to resist. Nevertheless, he remains useful as a controlled source of limited information.
• Lingbao Immortal Emperor: Shows strong personal investment in protecting the protagonist’s breakthrough. His dedication is motivated not only by loyalty or obligation but also by the connection between the protagonist’s advancement and his own Dao Path.
• Witch Emperor Houtu: Successfully fulfills her duty by bringing news of the breakthrough, but her comparatively restrained attitude highlights how exceptional Lingbao’s commitment is. She also becomes aware of the protagonist’s terrifyingly increased presence.
• The Hidden Force/Xuankong: Remains mysterious and prepared. Its restrictions prevent outsiders from uncovering crucial information, suggesting a powerful system of concealment and retaliation.

Significant Themes

• Power and control: The protagonist’s breakthrough shifts the balance completely, making Tuo’s survival dependent on his mercy.
• The limits of foresight: Even enhanced temporal perception cannot reveal everything. The future appears only as possibilities, and the past is blocked where the Hidden Force has imposed restrictions.
• Caution versus force: The protagonist recognizes that coercion may be counterproductive and instead plans to gather information through manipulation and controlled testing.
• Secrecy and traces: Erasing evidence and concealing Qingming Hetong Heaven are essential. The protagonist’s power is not merely destructive but also capable of eliminating causality and discoverable origins.
• Dao relationships and mutual interests: Lingbao’s protection shows that alliances among powerful figures are often based on shared Dao benefits rather than simple altruism.
• Emergence and transformation: The protagonist’s return from seclusion marks a dramatic transition into a far more dangerous and transcendent state.
