Chapter Summaries

Chen Lin survived Li Fuyao’s apparent death but discovered that she had invaded his consciousness, and he waited for Death Gaze to recover so he could confront her.

• Li Fuyao struck Chen Lin, then offered to join forces to seize a great opportunity; Chen Lin refused and attacked her with the Chess Piece of Destiny.

Chen Lin killed Li Fuyao in the destiny river, then returned to find Grass missing and began a search that lasted for months. With no trace of her in the Great Sea, he set out for Wanhuagu Valley, hoping she had returned there.

• Chen Lin used a Destiny Treasure to kill Li Fuyao, survived the fate backlash, and watched her destiny river collapse.
• Chen Lin returned to the Yucai Sect and told Feng Yuqing that Xue Honglan was dead; the Scholar reported that he had found Grass’s small Trichromatic Short Bow but not Grass herself.

• After months of searching the Great Sea and its seabed, Chen Lin found no trace of Grass and decided to search Wanhuagu Valley.

After months of searching for Li Fuyao’s relics, Chen Lin entered the changed Gambling Fortune Lake Scenario to reach Wanhuagu Valley and see whether Grass had been resurrected. Despite the scenario suppressing his Destiny River, he forced his talent to work, rolled a three, and vanished toward Wanhuagu Valley.

• Chen Lin instructed Feng Yuqing and the others to widen the search for Li Fuyao’s relics, comforted the grieving Yue Tianyi, and ordered Chen Yueyao to remain in secluded cultivation.
• Chen Lin tested the Tri-Color Short Bow, checked his other treasures, and entered the Gambling Fortune Lake Scenario with the Fishing Rod.
• Golden Toad told Chen Lin that entry now cost one hundred Nightmare Coins and that the die’s results determined which area he entered; he also mentioned the Seven Sovereigns.
• Chen Lin found his Destiny River suppressed and spent more talent origin to manifest it, then followed a destiny line toward a node while dodging an Ash Ray.
• Chen Lin rolled a three, which sent him to Wanhuagu Valley, and disappeared in the die’s golden light.

Chen Lin returned to Wanhuagu Valley and learned its new Silver Grade rules required him to catch a beauty flower without using Nightmare Coins to escape failure. The Luxurious-Robed Woman gave him a Silver Fishing Rod and a withered leaf that might help resurrect Grass, and Chen Lin successfully made a catch at the first fishing platform.

• The Luxurious-Robed Woman told Chen Lin that the changed rules forced every entrant to fish and made each attempt harder, with no Nightmare Coin penalty exemption.
• Chen Lin learned that a dead beauty flower could not be resurrected directly, then gave the Luxurious-Robed Woman ten Golden Nightmare Coins.
• The Luxurious-Robed Woman gave Chen Lin a Silver Fishing Rod and a withered leaf from Grass, explaining that the leaf could sense her remaining aura and offer a chance at resurrection.
• Chen Lin chose the first fishing platform so he could leave quickly and search for Grass's lingering aura.

• Chen Lin cast the Silver Fishing Rod and pulled a streak of golden light from the valley floor.

Chen Lin discovered a faint trace of Grass’s origin essence and brought it to Aisa for help. Aisa could not revive Grass, but she offered to condense an Origin Bead that would preserve Grass’s consciousness for at least a thousand years.

• Chen Lin fished up a golden flower that transformed into a martial artist named Jinlin, who insisted on serving him as his master.
• Jinlin sensed the aura of Wanhuagu Valley beneath the seabed, leading Chen Lin to find a tiny remnant of lightning that entered Grass’s withered leaf.
• Chen Lin realized his life force could not restore the leaf and concluded that Master Sagu or the Spirit Plant Guardian might be able to save Grass.
• Chen Lin brought the leaf to Aisa, whose life ability kept Grass’s remaining vitality from fading and could sustain it for about a year.
• Aisa agreed to condense an Origin Bead that could preserve Grass’s trace of consciousness for at least a thousand years.

Aisa condensed an Origin Orb for Chen Lin, and he spent the next two years searching for a way to save Grass while tending to his people. As Chen Lin weighed the danger of attending a divination with True Realm experts, Chen Yueyao reported that someone had turned in Li Fuyao’s bracelet.

• Aisa gave Chen Lin the Origin Orb at great cost, and he stored it with Grass’s withered leaf and an Innate Thunder Stone.
• Chen Lin made six-star Soul Steamed Buns for Aisa and Jinlin, and the food improved Jinlin’s spear techniques but had no visible effect on Aisa’s cultivation.
• Over two years, Feng Yuqing became Yucai Sect’s leader, Chen Yueyao condensed her Golden Core, and Chen Lin’s searches for Li Fuyao’s Relic and Master Sagu found no leads.
• Chen Lin worried that fate backlash from his confrontation with Li Fuyao might strike during his planned divination with Marquis Jinguān and other True Realm experts.
• Chen Yueyao appeared through Chen Lin’s Peerage Token and told him someone had turned in Li Fuyao’s bracelet.

Chen Lin verified that Li Fuyao’s bracelet contained a colored road guide and three colored nightmare coins, then arranged a bounty for a jade pendant before returning to the Upper Primal Domain. He secured access to a time-altering cultivation chamber from Xu Wuye, though he planned to attend Marquis Jinguān’s gathering first.

• Chen Lin examined Li Fuyao’s bracelet, confirmed it was genuine, and gave Huang Ying a scale containing Jinlin’s one-use strike after she asked for help killing Ancestor Qingyun.

• Chen Lin recruited several subordinates, returned to his fiefdom, and transferred his physical body with Leng Yue back to the Upper Primal Domain.

• Chen Lin told Xu Wuye he would attend Marquis Jinguān’s gathering before traveling to the White Jade Terrace, and she agreed to meet him there afterward.

Chen Lin joined a divination team at the Divination Land to help locate the Cage Array, despite growing concern about the Seven-Star Array’s safety. As the array began drawing on his destiny force and talent origin, Tianji Daoist ordered Fairy Yaochi to transfer primordial yin qi to him mouth-to-mouth.

• Chen Lin arrived in Myriad Forms City and refused Fairy Yaochi’s invitation to join her Vanguard Squad, then went with her to meet True Lord Wuming and Yue Tongtian.
• True Lord Wuming used a Boundary-Breaking Disc to bring Chen Lin and the others to the Divination Land, where Chen Lin encountered Zhenyangzi and learned that Chen Ling'er had sent him a message.
• Tianji Daoist assembled five True Realm cultivators and fourteen lower-ranked cultivators to operate the Seven-Star Array, assigning Chen Lin and Fairy Yaochi to one of its Array Cores.
• Yue Tongtian questioned whether the divination would be safe, but Tianji Daoist admitted that he could not guarantee it and warned that they could not remain in the void for long.
• The cultivators channeled destiny force through the Array Cores while True Lord Jiuhuan opened a rift for higher-order energy, causing Chen Lin’s talent origin to slip from his control.
• Tianji Daoist ordered Chen Lin to keep channeling destiny force and Fairy Yaochi to transfer primordial yin qi to him mouth-to-mouth.

Chen Lin and Fairy Yaochi were trapped in the Seven-Star Array as Tianji Daoist and the others pushed ahead with their divination, sacrificing the array’s occupants. Chen Lin escaped into a Destiny Scenario with Fairy Yaochi, where he recognized a well connected to a frog he had believed he destroyed.

• Fairy Yaochi transferred her primordial yin qi to Chen Lin, helping him endure the energy pouring into the Seven-Star Array.
• True Lord Jiuhuan widened the Space Passage, and the array cores began devouring the occupants’ Destiny Origin Essence; two cultivators were consumed.
• Tianji Daoist chose to continue the divination despite Yue Tongtian’s warning, while Chen Lin used Death Gaze to weaken the array spirit and escaped with Fairy Yaochi using a Colored Road Guide.
• A crowned giant frog emerged from the Space Passage and unleashed a devouring force on those left behind.
• Chen Lin failed to use his Peerage Token in the Destiny Scenario, then recognized its well and river as familiar; when he approached the well, it vanished.

Chen Lin and Fairy Yaochi explored a strange scenario where a river appeared to reflect the River of Destiny, then were forced into its waters. Chen Lin became a destiny fish and defended himself from an attacker before spotting a beautiful fish approaching.

• Chen Lin and Fairy Yaochi searched the scenario after the well disappeared, finding only a strange river and no way out through the surrounding dimness.
• Chen Lin suspected the river was a projection of the destiny river and tested whether Fairy Yaochi could sense his presence through his talent ability.
• The river grew turbulent and spatial pressure intensified, forcing Chen Lin to grab Fairy Yaochi and jump into the water.
• Chen Lin transformed into a destiny fish among others swimming upstream, dodged an attack, and killed his assailant with a Blade of Destiny.
• Chen Lin saw a particularly beautiful fish swimming toward him from the retreating shoal.

Chen Lin protected a white destiny fish he mistook for Fairy Yaochi as they raced upstream through a dangerous river, fighting off attackers and navigating hidden hazards. Near the Bridge of Destiny, he learned that the fish was a stranger and that only seven passages could carry them out of the river.

• Chen Lin shielded the white fish from the Big Black Fish, then killed him with his Blades of Destiny and Chess Piece of Destiny, absorbing the Light Orb he left behind.
• Chen Lin avoided concealed danger nodes with help from his Reverse Scale and warned the white fish to follow his route as they swam upstream.
• Chen Lin bound the white fish to himself with a Fate Tentacle and fought off another attacker, pushing ahead of the second group of fish.
• As the current and hazards intensified, Chen Lin slowed down, and the white fish warned him that the Bridge of Destiny had only seven passages and that they could be trapped if others reached them first.
• Chen Lin discovered that the white fish was not Fairy Yaochi and, after realizing she knew about the river, asked whether she would believe he had helped her because she was beautiful.

Chen Lin questioned Xitina about the River of Destiny and learned how the Rainbow Bridge selection worked. When the bridge appeared and the destiny fish fought over its two unclaimed paths, Chen Lin raced toward it amid the deadly chaos.

• Chen Lin learned that Xitina would accept him as her man only if they met again within five hundred years, then questioned her about the river and the bridge.
• Xitina explained that travelers had to leap onto one of the Bridge of Destiny’s seven paths and claim a reward, while those who missed out faced further selections.
• Chen Lin learned that Xitina was a natural divine being who knew nothing of the realms and places he asked about.
• The Rainbow Bridge appeared, and Chen Lin sensed nightmare realm aura, realizing the scenario might be exceptionally dangerous.
• The destiny fish fought over the two remaining paths, many died, and Chen Lin charged toward the bridge as more fish approached.

Chen Lin used Death Gaze to kill the last colorful fish and secured its Origin Bead before leaving the River of Destiny by the Rainbow Bridge. Xitina followed through another passage after secretly sending him a petal infused with Light of Eternity, and the bridge vanished behind them.

• Chen Lin reached the Rainbow Bridge as a colorful fish killed the large fish ahead with a sword of light and entered the Green Passage.
• The final colorful fish attacked the gathered destiny fish, but Chen Lin used Death Gaze to destroy its barrier and let the others finish it off.
• Chen Lin collected the colorful fish's Origin Bead, learned he could not absorb beads from fish he had not killed, and ignored an old fish's offer of a treasure.
• Chen Lin released Xitina and boarded the Red Passage, causing it to vanish.
• Xitina removed a petal from beneath her scales, infused it with Light of Eternity, tossed it into the Yellow Passage, and entered the Blue Passage.
• The remaining passages vanished, the Bridge of Destiny disappeared, and the surviving destiny fish dissolved throughout the river.

Chen Lin escaped the Seven-Star Array by crossing the Rainbow Bridge, returned to his fiefdom, and made plans to protect himself and investigate what had happened in Myriad Forms City. He discovered that the crossing had changed his talent ability, gaining control over new patterns on his fish form.

• Chen Lin crossed the Rainbow Bridge, purified and compressed his talent origin, then used his Peerage Token to return to his fiefdom.
• In the Five Elements Realm, the Flower Fairy saw a golden petal light up, told it to return and continue its task, and sent a streak of light into the darkness.
• Fairy Yaochi emerged from the resurrection magic array in Myriad Forms Palace and asked Senior Brother Yang whether her master had returned; he took her to the origin pool to recover.
• Chen Lin moved his physical body into the stone coffin in the Ancient Cultivator Cave Abode, then instructed Leng Yue to investigate True Lord Wuming and Fairy Yaochi and contact Liu Rumian.
• Chen Lin examined his talent ability and found that he could control the dark-red patterns that had appeared on his fish form.

Chen Lin discovered that his Destiny Fish’s patterns enabled cultivation and combat, then reunited with Fairy Yaochi, who had resurrected with missing memories after dying in the River of Destiny. With the divination participants missing and Fairy Yaochi and Leng Yue likely in danger, Chen Lin considered ways to keep them safe while refusing to leave his refuge.

• Chen Lin learned that his destiny patterns could protect and attack, help him cultivate, and refine origin essence, but found their benefits weak after a month of practice.
• Fairy Yaochi appeared beside Small Lake and explained that she had died in the River of Destiny but resurrected through a clone stored in the Myriad Forms Palace’s Resurrection Array.
• Fairy Yaochi told Chen Lin that the other divination participants had disappeared, that her memories of the divination’s latter half were missing, and that a black light had killed her shortly after she became a Destiny Fish.
• Fairy Yaochi revealed that powerful figures had soul-searched her and sent her to question Chen Lin, while Chen Lin suspected she and Leng Yue were being held or captured.
• Chen Lin proposed that Fairy Yaochi abandon her physical body and remain in the Nightmare Realm, but she refused, saying the Cage Array Cycle would threaten her projection too.
• Chen Lin offered to send Fairy Yaochi’s projection to the Reality Realm or help her seek a passage to the Outer World, but Fairy Yaochi decided to return and look for another way.

Chen Lin agreed to reveal what he knew about the missing True Realm cultivators in exchange for a Void Heaven Fruit, while warning his allies to keep out of danger. He told Chu Lingxiang about the divination and his encounter with Frog, leaving her to consider whether Frog had trapped the missing cultivators in his exclusive scenario.

• Chen Lin told Yang Wentai to warn the Nanmen Clan and Long Han to hide, then learned Leng Yue was confined at the Myriad Forms Palace headquarters under a True Realm cultivator’s watch.
• Leng Yue delivered Chu Lingxiang’s offer: she would stop pursuing Chen Lin if he revealed what happened, but would otherwise target everyone connected to him.
• Chen Lin asked Chu Lingxiang to bring him a cultivation-boosting treasure in exchange for the truth, and she arrived with a Void Heaven Fruit that could help him reach the Void Realm.
• Chen Lin told Chu Lingxiang that Tianji Daoist’s divination had begun consuming the Destiny Practitioners before he and Fairy Yaochi escaped into a colored scenario, and that Marquis Guānqūn and the others were still alive when he left.
• Chen Lin described the scenario, Frog, and his theory that Frog had trapped or transferred the missing cultivators through his exclusive well scenario; he said he had no way to enter it.

Chen Lin negotiated with Chu Lingxiang, avoided trusting the True Realm experts, and brought Fairy Yaochi’s true body into his fiefdom for safety. Xiao Qingmo then offered to help him obtain the Seven-Star Shining Sun Monster Refining Chapter in exchange for finding her father, just as another visitor arrived.

• Chen Lin agreed to help Chu Lingxiang find clues about Marquis Jinguān and the others, while privately deciding to search for Nian Kong’s other clones and Chen Ling’er before cultivating.
• Chen Lin tried the Piggy Bank with a Golden Nightmare Coin, but it remained powerless, and Leng Yue reported that Chu Lingxiang had given her pills and a Heaven Tier samsara dagger.
• Chen Lin told Leng Yue to contact Liu Rumian and decided he would not go to the Boundless Realm or join Xiao Qingmo’s Vanguard Squad.
• Chen Lin explained the situation to Fairy Yaochi, urged her to bring her true body into his fiefdom, and she agreed.
• Xiao Qingmo asked about True Lord Jiuhuan, then offered to help Chen Lin obtain the Seven-Star Shining Sun Monster Refining Chapter if he helped find her father.
• Chen Lin approved another visitor’s request to enter his fiefdom, and a figure appeared before him.

Chen Lin told Xiao Qingmo and Liu Rumian what he knew about the missing seniors and suspected Tianji Daoist was pursuing a plan involving the Daoist heir’s failed reincarnation. After receiving the Monster Refining Chapter from Xiao Qingmo, he revealed how the willow jar might locate Frog and arranged for Liu Rumian to search for Silver Fairy and the others.

• Chen Lin recounted the colored scenario and the frog’s escape, while Xiao Qingmo warned that Tianji Daoist’s divination may have concealed a larger scheme.
• Xiao Qingmo revealed that the Daoist heir had failed to reincarnate, leading Chen Lin to suspect Zhenyangzi was the failed vessel and that he himself might be targeted next.
• Xiao Qingmo gave Chen Lin a copy of the Monster Refining Chapter, and he memorized it before explaining that Silver Fairy had his willow jar and that it could help locate Frog.
• Chen Lin gave Xiao Qingmo Silver Fairy’s portrait and a Jade Pendant medium, but insisted that she protect his master and meet him before he disclosed the jar’s activation method.
• Fairy Yaochi refused to join the search, while Chen Lin asked Liu Rumian to find Yun Feiyan and Mu Linglong in the Vast Antiquity Domain and ensure Silver Fairy’s safety.

Chen Lin advanced to great perfection in the Semi-Void Realm with the Void Heaven Fruit, then tried to encourage Fairy Yaochi as she despaired over the Cage Array. He later summoned Xu Wuye to verify the Monster Refining Chapter, received her confirmation, and gave her the original Demon-Refining Chapter for the White Jade Terrace.

• Chen Lin and Fairy Yaochi secluded themselves in cultivation while he stayed inside his fiefdom to avoid Tianji Daoist and other powerful figures.
• After half a year of cultivating the Void Heaven Fruit, Chen Lin reached great perfection in the Semi-Void Realm and discussed Jinlin’s Martial Dao potential.
• Chen Lin visited Fairy Yaochi, urged her not to give up hope, and accepted her intimate request; she said she had acted to understand her feelings, not to seek his help.
• After another half year without news of Silver Fairy, Chen Lin decided to cultivate the Monster Refining Chapter and asked Leng Yue to summon Xu Wuye.
• Xu Wuye confirmed the Monster Refining Chapter was genuine, deduced that Xiao Qingmo had provided it, and warned Chen Lin not to share it.
• Chen Lin gave Xu Wuye the original Demon-Refining Chapter for the White Jade Terrace and asked her not to trouble Xiao Qingmo; Xu Wuye then left and told him not to contact her again.

Chen Lin spent decades cultivating and searching for Silver Fairy while the factions failed to uncover her fate or solve her Jade Pendant Scenario. With the Cage Array Cycle approaching, he gave Fairy Yaochi an Elder Ancient talisman for protection, but learned that the Outer Realm Battlefield led to a deadly Void Battlefield, leaving their escape options uncertain.

• Chen Lin decided not to reveal the Stone Coffin to Xu Wuye and returned to the Heavenly Mechanism House to cultivate the Monster Refining Chapter and condense the Demon Star.
• Ten years later, Liu Rumian told Chen Lin that the factions had failed to find Silver Fairy or explore her Jade Pendant Scenario, and that the Crape Myrtle Palace in the Mysterious Domain was deserted.
• Chen Lin considered whether Silver Fairy might have reached the Outer World, then resumed cultivating as Liu Rumian left without finding answers about Yue Tongtian.
• Twenty years later, Chen Lin urged Fairy Yaochi not to give up and gave her an Elder Ancient talisman that could protect her from the Outer World's Reality Force.
• Fairy Yaochi warned Chen Lin that the Outer Realm Battlefield was a dangerous Void Battlefield where Inner World cultivators could not survive, and Chen Lin began considering another route.
