Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Samsara Blade Fairy questions Song Shuhang about his unusual “Sub-Immortality Mode” and learns that his advancement relied on help from the current Heavenly Dao, several Netherworld Rulers, powerful Longevity Immortals, and Lady Dragon Network.
• She jokes that his Longevity Dao must be a “network.” Song admits he currently uses a Merit-and-Cause-and-Effect Longevity Method and may later switch to a Chat-Cultivation Immortality Method.
• Samsara Blade Fairy suspects Song approached Su Clan’s Sixteen to get close to her. Song explains that he met Sixteen only last year, when she had failed her Fourth-Grade Heavenly Tribulation and he himself was just beginning cultivation.
• White Dragon Sister confirms Song was around the Fourth-Grade Realm only five months earlier, leaving Samsara Blade Fairy stunned by his extraordinary rise.
• To verify his story, Samsara Blade Fairy asks Song to hold her hand. He accidentally triggers Man-and-Blade Unity, transforming her into her Dao Artifact form. She then activates her reincarnation power to inspect him—but an alarm sounds from the blade.

Character developments and interactions

• Samsara Blade Fairy shifts from wary questioning to disbelief and amazement at Song’s rapid progress and vast connections. She remains cautious, especially about the possibility that he has been possessed.
• Song is candid about his cultivation history and the help he received, while his casual, instinctive handling of Dao Artifacts creates awkward humor.
• White Dragon Sister acts as a witness, confirming Song’s account and recognizing that the uncomfortable questions were inevitable.
• Song and Samsara Blade Fairy’s playful misunderstandings—particularly his question about grabbing her neck—briefly lighten the tense conversation.

Significant themes

• Connections and cooperation: Song’s achievements are presented as the result of support from an extraordinary network of powerful beings.
• Rapid growth and improbability: His rise from novice to Longevity Immortal in roughly a year strains belief, even for experienced cultivators.
• Trust and suspicion: Samsara Blade Fairy must determine whether Song is truly himself, reflecting the dangers of possession and hidden influence.
• Comedy amid high stakes: Song’s matter-of-fact answers and accidental Man-and-Blade Unity contrast with the seriousness of the investigation.

Key events

• The Samsara Blade Fairy runs a security scan on Song Shuhang to check for the Fourth Heavenly Dao’s possession curse. The scan instead reveals six distinct traces of Heavenly Dao Immortality Information inside him.
• Shuhang explains that he and Senior White obtained the Fourth Heavenly Dao’s information while investigating and suppressing its Pitch-Black Sun contingency plan—a threat that could destroy the Myriad Heavens and Realms.
• The Fairy learns that Shuhang already has complete Full-Body Pseudo-Immortalization and does not need her information, though he would gladly collect more. She suspects Su Clan’s Sixteen arranged their meeting so he could obtain the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s information.
• Shuhang teaches the Fairy the Hair-Growth Technique. In return, she agrees to let him encounter traces of the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s Immortality Information.
• The Fairy explains that the Fifth Heavenly Dao perfected the laws of death and reincarnation, ultimately transforming herself into Reincarnation and forging its foundation. She then guides Shuhang’s consciousness down into the abyss toward that foundation.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang remains casual and candid despite possessing an extraordinary collection of Heavenly Dao traces. He reassures the Fairy that meeting her was accidental and shows concern about the Fourth Heavenly Dao’s threat.
• The Samsara Blade Fairy shifts from alarm at the scan to admiration for Shuhang’s accomplishments. She is amused by his apparent habit of “showing off,” but honors her bargain with Sixteen by helping him access the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s legacy. She also restores her hair using Shuhang’s spell.
• Su Clan’s Sixteen, though undergoing a hidden transformation, is recognized by the Fairy as having likely engineered the meeting to help Shuhang gain the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s information.
• The Fairy and Shuhang build trust through an exchange: he teaches her a practical technique, and she shares access to profound Heavenly Dao knowledge.

Significant themes

• Accumulated legacy: Shuhang’s body has become a repository for traces of multiple Heavenly Daoes.
• Reincarnation and death: The Fifth Heavenly Dao devoted her rule to creating a coherent cycle of death and rebirth, sacrificing her own form to establish it.
• Trust and reciprocity: Personal favors and alliances help characters navigate cosmic threats and inherit ancient knowledge.
• Humor amid danger: The Fairy’s panic over the scan, her suspicions about Shuhang’s motives, and the hair-growth bargain lighten a discussion of existential threats.

Plot points and events

• As Song Shuhang’s consciousness descends toward the Reincarnation Foundation, he begins receiving the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s Immortality Information. It flows into his physical body, completing the Quasi-Immortalization of his energy and bringing him close to becoming a “little Immortal.”
• Samsara Blade Fairy explains that the Fifth Heavenly Dao sacrificed her Immortal Body to establish the current reincarnation system. Older systems existed, but were too crude and had sometimes failed; even the present system is still evolving.
• Song and Samsara Blade Fairy reach the Samsara Seal, the foundation of reincarnation, linked to the worlds of the Myriad Heavens and Realms. She tells him to touch it and gather whatever Immortality Information he can.
• The Seal responds unusually well to Song, resonating with his Thirty-Three Beasts Innate Unity Qi Technique—a technique created by Heavenly Dao White—and sending him specially compatible Immortality Information.
• A voice from inside the Seal recognizes Song as “Tyrant Song” and begs him to “pick me up” and undo a secret technique so its memories can return. Song suspects who it is and says, “Clone, undo.”

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang advances toward a Sub-Immortal body, with his energy finally catching up to his already Quasi-Immortalized flesh, bones, and skin. He remains puzzled by how readily Heavenly Dao-related powers respond to him.
• Samsara Blade Fairy guides Song through the descent and explains the history and continuing development of reincarnation. She is surprised by the Seal’s eagerness to cooperate with him.
• The Fifth Heavenly Dao is portrayed as compassionate: she gave up her Immortal Body to improve reincarnation for all living beings.
• The hidden voice appears to be someone Song knows, trapped or concealed within the Seal by a secret technique; it urgently asks him to restore its memories.

Significant themes

• Compassion and sacrifice: the reincarnation system was built through the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s self-sacrifice.
• Cycles and imperfection: reincarnation connects all realms, yet remains an evolving system with a troubled history.
• Affinity and recognition: Song’s accumulated Heavenly Dao-related powers make him unusually compatible with the Seal and its Immortality Information.
• Memory and identity: the chapter ends on the mystery of the voice’s suppressed memories and Song’s attempt to undo the concealment.

Key plot points and events

• Song Shuhang suspects that his missing clone, Song Two, has been hidden inside the Samsara Foundation great seal and may have encountered the Fifth Heavenly Dao in the past.
• He activates the Clone Secret Art. Song Two answers, and his power and memories begin returning to Shuhang.
• Samsara Blade Fairy is stunned—and understandably alarmed—to learn that Shuhang’s clone was inside a seal formed from her own Immortal Body. Shuhang asks her to wait until he has finished receiving the clone’s memories before he explains.
• Song Two returns with a large trove of memories and Immortality Information, a gift from the Fifth Heavenly Dao that he has already refined for Shuhang. The information is perfectly compatible, transforming Shuhang’s Immortal Energy into Sub-Immortality.
• The memories appear as tens of thousands of simultaneous scenes. They show the Fifth Heavenly Dao descending into the Bottomless Abyss, turning herself into the foundation of a new Reincarnation System, and leaving behind points of light that continue to develop it.
• Other scenes show her living successive lives as different beings across the ages. When those lives end, they return to the Samsara Seal and help complete Reincarnation. The final scene begins with her incarnating as an immobile object—specifically, a plant.

Character developments and interactions

• Shuhang’s increasingly bold reasoning pays off: his missing clone really was the source of the unusually compatible Immortality Information.
• Song Two is reunited with Shuhang, returning not just his strength but also vital memories and a major inheritance.
• Shuhang’s respect for the Fifth Heavenly Dao deepens as he witnesses the sacrifice and care behind her work.
• Samsara Blade Fairy reacts with shock and suspicion to the revelation about the clone inside her seal. Shuhang responds calmly, promising an explanation after the memory transfer.

Significant themes

• Sacrifice and legacy: The Fifth Heavenly Dao gives up her former existence to build Reincarnation, then continues shaping it through successive lives.
• Continuity across time: Memories, lives, and power connect Shuhang’s present to events far in the past.
• Creation through many lives: Reincarnation is not completed by one act alone; the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s incarnations gradually perfect it.
• Respect for benevolence: Shuhang recognizes the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s work as a selfless gift to all living beings.

Key plot points and events

• Song Shuhang watches memories revealing that the Fifth Heavenly Dao reincarnated as Onion Lady. Daoist Scarlet Firmament recognized her potential when she was a scallion sprout, calling it “Heavenly Dao Bearing.”
• Song Shuhang realizes the discovery could explain Onion Lady’s extraordinary aptitude, but struggles to reconcile the former Heavenly Dao with the silly onion he knows. He worries that he has pinched and used her while leaving her wages unpaid, and resolves to try to pay her.
• He wonders how his clone, Song Two, became part of the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s Samsara Seal, then finds the clone’s memories.
• Song Two, Onion Lady, the Nine-Rebirth Phoenix Saber, and the Heart-Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword are pulled into a dimensional black hole. When a force threatens to devour Onion Lady, Song Two throws her to safety and takes her place.
• Song Two later awakens inside the Samsara Seal. Rather than dying, he has apparently completed a cycle of reincarnation, leaving his experiences and cultivation-related information in the seal and receiving “Immortality Information” in return. The process lasts roughly two or three hundred years.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang reacts with anxious humor to learning Onion Lady’s identity, but also shows concern for her welfare and curiosity about the connections between the Fifth Heavenly Dao, Onion Lady, White Dragon, and Su Clan’s Sixteen.
• Song Two demonstrates loyalty and self-sacrifice: despite being able to return through his main body, he chooses to protect Onion Lady.
• Onion Lady is revealed to have a profound, concealed connection to the Fifth Heavenly Dao, while her panicked plea to Song Two highlights her vulnerability and trust in him.
• Daoist Scarlet Firmament displays uncanny insight by recognizing Heavenly Dao potential in a tiny scallion.

Significant themes

• Reincarnation and identity: Onion Lady’s ordinary, comic appearance contrasts sharply with her origin as the Fifth Heavenly Dao.
• Self-sacrifice and loyalty: Song Two risks himself to save Onion Lady, treating her safety as more important than his own temporary existence.
• Unexpected connections: Familiar companions may share deep ties to powerful figures and forces.
• Responsibility and humor: Song Shuhang’s jokes about unpaid wages mask a genuine sense of obligation toward Onion Lady.

Key events

• Song Shuhang learns that Onion Lady was meant to return to the Samsara Seal after her reincarnated life ended, completing the Fifth Heavenly Dao’s Reincarnation System.
• Song Two, misunderstanding that Onion Lady would be destroyed, pushed her away and entered the Seal in her place. His accumulated life experiences—especially his many encounters with death—helped the Seal refine reincarnation. Though he could not complete the final link of the cycle, the Seal accepted him and allowed him to remain.
• Onion Lady has disappeared, apparently into the future. Song Shuhang promises the Samsara Seal he will find her, and intends to help her achieve longevity so she can choose how to return rather than being forced back at the end of her life.
• The Seal places a contact mark on Song Shuhang’s arm. He returns to the Hall of Samsara, where his body has reached a Sub-Immortality state and gathered Immortality Information from the Second through Eighth Heavenly Daos.
• Song explains the misunderstanding to Samsara Blade Fairy, though he leaves out some details about the time distortion inside the Seal. He then notes that the Seal’s power may help Su Clan’s Sixteen evolve.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang takes responsibility for finding Onion Lady and approaches the task with confidence, planning to use his resources to support her path to longevity.
• The Samsara Seal trusts Song after hearing his promise and treats Song Two kindly because of the value of his experiences.
• Samsara Blade Fairy seeks an explanation for her connection to Song and his cultivation technique, then listens as he describes the clone’s absorption.
• White Dragon Sister reacts with surprise to the revelations about Onion Lady and the Fifth Heavenly Dao, and observes that Song’s acquisition of its Immortality Information was effectively already secured.

Significant themes

• Sacrifice and misunderstanding: Song Two’s attempt to save Onion Lady changes the intended course of reincarnation.
• Experience as contribution: Even painful experiences and repeated encounters with death can become valuable knowledge that helps build a greater system.
• Choice and responsibility: Song hopes Onion Lady can return by choice after attaining longevity, and accepts the duty of helping her do so.
• Time and cyclical existence: The incomplete Ouroboros cycle and the mismatch between the Seal’s time and the present suggest that reincarnation may involve complex temporal loops.

Plot and key events

• After withdrawing Song Two’s clone, Song Shuhang regains his memories, including fragments from the Fifth Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. He recognizes that Su Clan’s Sixteen is awakening the Su Clan’s rare talent to transform into a blade.
• The talent can let a Blade Maiden and her Dao companion achieve an unusually intimate bond and enter Man-and-Blade Unity. But Shuhang fears a conventional transformation would still leave Sixteen too weak to join the dangerous events ahead, which may demand Longevity-level power.
• Hoping to help Sixteen advance further, Shuhang activates the Samsara Seal and joins her transformation.
• Instead of producing the expected Blade Maiden, the transformation ends with Shuhang and Sixteen apparently merged into a small “great seal,” leaving White Dragon Sister and Samsara Blade Fairy bewildered.

Character developments and interactions

• Shuhang shows both concern for Sixteen’s safety and a strong desire to face the coming crisis alongside her. He acts decisively, using the Samsara Seal to take part in her transformation.
• Sixteen responds to Shuhang’s quiet call with an equally quiet answer; their understanding is so strong that the narration describes it as an exchange of hearts.
• White Dragon Sister worries that even a top-tier Blade Maiden would not be powerful enough, but is relieved to learn that Sixteen could temporarily borrow the Samsara Blade Fairy’s Dao Artifact-level power. She also jokes about Shuhang’s enormous collection of blades.
• Samsara Blade Fairy explains how Su Clan Blade Maidens could channel her power, then teases Shuhang as an extravagant “blade cultivator” for already possessing multiple blade-like weapons.

Significant themes

• Partnership under pressure: Shuhang wants to advance and face danger with Sixteen rather than leave her behind.
• Time and urgency: Shuhang feels that time is too limited for the pair to develop gradually.
• Transformation and unexpected outcomes: A process expected to create a Blade Maiden instead produces a mysterious fused form, setting up a new turn in their development.
• Humor amid high stakes: The discussion of Shuhang’s many weapons—culminating in the idea of “Seven-Blade Style Tyrant Song”—contrasts with the looming threat of the Heavenly Dao.

Key plot points and events

• Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen fuse into a giant Samsara Seal, drawing on the Samsara Seal’s imprint. Their creation can unleash attacks close to the true seal’s power, though only two or three times at their current strength.
• They imagine a stronger method for next time: Sixteen first uses Samsara Blade Fairy’s power to become a Dao Artifact, then the pair undergo fusion evolution. Samsara Blade Fairy objects to being treated as a tool.
• They end the transformation because it strains Sixteen. Back in human form, Sixteen discovers a new energy core shared by her many “Little Sixteen” selves, which enables her blade transformation; her cultivation is also slowly rising.
• Shuhang says the fusion brought him no physical change, but recalls the remarkable sensation of connecting with more than a hundred Little Sixteens. He calls it a “legend across the myriad worlds,” while admitting his ideas about how Heavenly Daos may affect time are only conjecture.
• The group prepares to return to the Ancient Nether World and continue inserting pillars, where Senior White is waiting.

Character developments and interactions

• Sixteen is pleased by her rapid progress but still wants to grow stronger. Shuhang urges her to prioritize a sound foundation over rushing.
• Shuhang again demonstrates his talent for borrowing and combining powers, and shares Sixteen’s eagerness to experiment with their fusion.
• Samsara Blade Fairy explains the seal’s origin and is both wary of being exploited and unexpectedly reluctant to lose White Dragon Sister’s comforting presence around her neck.
• White Dragon Sister checks Sixteen’s condition, teases Shuhang’s tendency to “rub off” abilities from anything he encounters, and doubts his fitness to lecture Sixteen about gradual progress.

Significant themes

• Experimentation and power through cooperation: Shuhang and Sixteen combine distinct abilities to create a formidable new form.
• Growth with a stable foundation: Sixteen’s ambition is balanced by Shuhang’s warning against advancement that risks hidden problems.
• Uncertainty about cosmic rules: Shuhang’s thoughts on Heavenly Daos and time remain speculation, underscoring how little the characters truly know about the larger order of the realms.

Song Shuhang and Su Clan's Sixteen left Samsara Blade Fairy after Sixteen completed her transformation, then learned that the Tombs of the Immortal of two Heavenly Daos had appeared together in the Gem Domain. Song Shuhang suspected the tombs were a trap connected to Senior Daozi's plan, and returned to Ancient Nether with new insights to share with Senior White.

• Samsara Blade Fairy gave Song Shuhang and Sixteen permission to visit again, while White Dragon Sister promised to chat with her after reviving.
• Song Shuhang and Sixteen met Su Clan's Shielding Fairy and Ancestor Knot outside the Hall of Samsara, then said they would go plant a pillar in Ancient Nether.
• Ancestor Knot told Song Shuhang that the Tombs of the Immortal of the Second and Third Heavenly Daos had appeared together in the Gem Domain, drawing Longevity Immortals and Tribulation Immortals.
• Song Shuhang suspected the tombs were part of Senior Daozi's plan to gather the Longevity Immortals, and agreed to visit the Gem Domain if he returned early.
• In Ancient Nether, Self Corpse sustained the God Tyrant Pillar while Senior White played with small creatures, and Song Shuhang arrived to share insights about Sole Existence Across All Realms.

Song Shuhang and Senior White completed the pillars needed to project Song Shuhang’s will as a seed into every version of himself across the River of Time. The chapter ended as an older-looking Song Shuhang emerged from seclusion to meet Onion Lady and Soft Feather, holding a glowing seed and apologizing before everything began.

• Song Shuhang shared his insights about Sole Existence Across All Realms with Senior White and proposed projecting a seed to all his selves through the pillars.
• Senior White devised a way to alter the pillars, and Song Shuhang stamped his nine Sage Seals onto them.
• After Senior White and the Self Corpse finished erecting the pillars at every node, Senior White confirmed that Song Shuhang’s seed had reached every version of him.
• Onion Lady and Soft Feather went to find Boss Song, and an older-looking Song Shuhang emerged from behind a stone door holding a bright seed.
• Song Shuhang apologized for placing pressure and burdens on everyone as he prepared for everything to begin and end.

Song Shuhang learned that his message had reached Old Tyrant Song and prepared to begin the war against Pitch-Black Sun after Senior White and the others completed the reversed Seizure Secret Technique. After nurturing his artifacts and mastering simplified technique runes, he set out with Senior White and their allies for the coming battle.

• Song Shuhang found Old Tyrant Song at the end of the River of Time and realized his conviction had reached him.
• Senior White Two reported that the group had created Seizure Secret Technique: Reverse, and Senior Daozi said the Longevity Immortals had been gathered in the Gem Domain.
• Senior White agreed to simplify both techniques into runes while Song Shuhang spent a day in the Time Secret Realm nurturing his artifacts.
• On February 4, 2020, Song Shuhang emerged with his artifacts transformed and confirmed that he had mastered Senior White's technique runes.
• Song Shuhang, Senior White, Senior White Two, and their companions prepared to set out for the war, and Senior White reflected on how much Song Shuhang had grown.

Plot points and events

• Gem Domain, once rich in spiritual energy and precious stones, became a barren wasteland after its resources were mysteriously depleted in the Ancient Era. The appearance of the supposed Second and Third Heavenly Dao Tombs has now drawn powerful immortals and ordinary cultivators back to the domain.
• Everything Can Be Sold and his disciple, Anything Can Be Bought, arrive to sell tomb-related wares. Though they know the tombs are a smokescreen, they see the gathering as a lucrative business opportunity. The master warns his disciple to avoid Tyrant Song; she considers him a good customer, especially because Fellow Daoist White has money.
• The tombs are elaborate decoys built by Daozi, Dog Egg’s Dad, and Three-Eyed Senior. They contain treasures and Heavenly Dao information, but also deadly traps designed to make them convincing and dangerous.
• Void Sun Guardians and Stellar Doomsdayers infiltrate the Third Tomb, intending to abduct wounded immortals for their species’ breeding. Daozi chooses to use them as props for Tyrant Song’s dramatic entrance and final boost in prestige before Daozi gives up the Heavenly Dao position.
• The conspirators guide injured Longevity Immortals and Tribulation Immortals into a Paradise World, where Heavenly Dao laws suppress their abilities. Ten enemy beings ambush them, including an especially powerful Void Sun.
• Senior White Two makes the Paradise World’s location visible to everyone exploring the tombs. Other immortals rush toward it, hoping to capture the enemies for rewards through Tyrant Song’s Cultivation Chat System.
• The chapter ends as the attackers launch a lethal assault on the trapped, weakened immortals, with rescue parties still hindered by the tomb’s barriers and formations.

Character developments and interactions

• Everything Can Be Sold and Anything Can Be Bought are portrayed as opportunistic, experienced merchants: they knowingly sell supplies for a false tomb expedition. Their exchange reveals the master’s wary view of Tyrant Song and the disciple’s confidence that he could be a valuable customer.
• Daozi is orchestrating events to benefit Tyrant Song before stepping down as Heavenly Dao. He directs the others to use the enemies as a staged challenge, while insisting the wounded immortals must be protected.
• Dog Egg’s Dad and Three-Eyed Senior help manipulate the tomb’s traps and guide the participants; Dada Egg is recruited to assist with time power. Senior White Two handles the backstage protection and activates the signal that draws other immortals in.
• Yue Ruhuo and the other wounded immortals face the ambush while suppressed. The wider group of immortals, watching through projected consciousness, shifts from exploring for treasure to racing toward the apparent tomb core.

Significant themes

• Deception as spectacle: The “tombs” are constructed illusions, but their dangers and rewards are carefully designed to seem authentic.
• Calculated risk and opportunity: Immortals brave deadly traps for rare treasures, while the merchants and organizers turn the event into profit and strategy.
• Reputation and legacy: Daozi’s final act as Heavenly Dao is to stage a memorable opportunity that raises Tyrant Song’s prestige.
• Power, vulnerability, and protection: Even powerful immortals can be made vulnerable by injury and restrictive laws, while the organizers try to control the danger without allowing real casualties.

Key plot points and events

• Ten Void Sun Guardians and Stellar Doomsdayers unleash star-destroying attacks inside Paradise Space. Their power also creates ten blazing suns above the Gem Domain planet, scorching the land, evaporating moisture, and melting ice.
• Six injured Longevity Immortals combine their defenses and use their trump cards, but the first wave devastates their protections. Yue Ruhuo urges them to endure until reinforcements arrive, including Tyrant Song.
• The seemingly helpless, bloodless Longevity Immortal is revealed to be a replaceable puppet of a Mo School genius who attained longevity through the Puppet Dao. He installs a new core, transforms the puppet into a physical body, and steps forward to fight.
• Now beyond the usual limits of Longevity Immortals, the Mo School expert effortlessly sweeps aside the suns’ attacks. He then uses a bow formed from his cape to kill three weaker enemies and severely wound the other six, leaving only the largest Void Sun standing.
• The final Void Sun absorbs the fallen enemies, grows more powerful, and forms a charred greatsword. The Mo School genius advances to face it, intent on defeating it before meeting Tyrant Song.

Character developments and interactions

• Yue Ruhuo keeps the wounded group coordinated, supports them with his zither and sword formation, and calls on his network of friends for help. He recognizes the Mo School genius and is astonished by his strength.
• The Mo School Longevity Immortal reveals his ambition and pride: after witnessing the Confucian Sage and meeting the Heavenly Emperor, he believes he has reached their former realm. He treats the battle as preparation for challenging Tyrant Song.
• The other Longevity Immortals contribute their varied defensive and offensive abilities, but their efforts are overwhelmed. The Stellar Giant Bear, in particular, recognizes the Mo School genius’s power as reminiscent of the Confucian Sage.
• Fairy Anything Can Be Bought watches the planetary disaster as a business opportunity and prepares remedies for sun-related injuries.
• The approaching presence of Tyrant Song shapes the Mo School genius’s decision to reveal his true power and fight personally.

Significant themes

• Power and escalation: Even formidable Longevity Immortals are outmatched by the attackers—until a figure who has surpassed their limits intervenes.
• Preparation and hidden capability: The apparent vulnerability of the Mo School genius was only a disposable puppet concealing his true strength.
• Ambition and rivalry: His next goal is to challenge Tyrant Song, setting up a contest between two exceptional powers.
• Cooperation and resilience: Yue Ruhuo’s group combines abilities and seeks reinforcements, buying time despite overwhelming odds.

Key events

• Inside Paradise Space, a Mo School Longevity Immortal confronts the enormous Void Sun Guardian while other Longevity Immortals watch.
• The Mo School fighter’s spear easily destroys the Guardian’s Remnant Flame Sword and pierces the Void Sun. The spectators recognize him as a rare Heavenly Dao bearer, potentially on the level of the Confucian Sage.
• The Guardian collapses, releasing a dangerous, Immortality-tainted substance. The Mo School fighter seals the area to contain it.
• The Guardian unexpectedly revives in a much smaller form and tries to escape, apparently carrying intelligence out of the Tomb of the Third Heavenly Dao.
• A figure bursts through Paradise Space’s Immortality-level spatial lockdown and crashes into the fleeing Guardian, destroying it completely. The onlookers identify the newcomer as Tyrant Song.

Character developments and interactions

• The Mo School Longevity Immortal demonstrates overwhelming strength and composure, earning recognition as a possible Heavenly Dao candidate. He defeats the Guardian, then acts cautiously to contain its hazardous remnants.
• Yue Ruhuo and the other observers are stunned by the scale of the Mo School fighter’s power. They debate whether he—or Tyrant Song—might be the era’s true “Sage.”
• The Void Sun Guardian proves resilient enough to revive after its apparent defeat, but its attempt to flee is cut short by Tyrant Song.
• Tyrant Song makes a dramatic entrance, effortlessly eliminating a threat that had just survived a clash with a Heavenly Dao-level fighter.

Significant themes

• Power and succession: The chapter raises the question of who will attain the Way in Tyrant Song’s era, contrasting the Mo School fighter’s potential with Tyrant Song’s.
• Appearances and reversals: The Guardian’s apparent destruction is not final; its revival turns victory into a new crisis.
• The disruptive force of Tyrant Song: Even after the observers conclude that the Mo School fighter may be the era’s strongest, Tyrant Song’s sudden arrival shifts the balance again.

Song Shuhang arrived in the Paradise World with Senior White, whose fall left him buried in a crater, and met Mo School Tianzhi for the first time. When the Stellar Destruction Virus erupted, Song Shuhang suppressed most of it with his Emperor-Destroying Pillar while the rest dissolved near his Sub-Immortality body.

• Song Shuhang and Senior White crashed into the Paradise World, where Senior White fell into a crater and buried himself with the Earth-Leveling Spell.
• Song Shuhang learned from Yue Ruhuo that the crash had killed the last Void Sun and that Mo School Tianzhi had dealt with the other nine.
• Song Shuhang formally introduced himself to Tianzhi, whom he recognized as a powerful figure nearing the realm of the Sage and the Heavenly Emperor.
• The Stellar Destruction Virus broke free of Tianzhi's cape, prompting Yue Ruhuo to order the injured Longevity Immortals to retreat.
• Song Shuhang used his Emperor-Destroying Pillar to devour most of the virus, while the remainder dissolved within a meter of his Sub-Immortality body.

Key plot points and events

• Song Shuhang’s simulated “Immortality” radiance disperses the dangerous virus before it can affect him. He then destroys another virus with a strike from his Emperor-Destroying Pillar.
• The watching Longevity Immortals realize Shuhang has reached Sub-Immortality. He clarifies that he is not truly immortal or the Heavenly Dao; his current state is only a crude imitation.
• Shuhang explains that he has dealt with the virus before and engineered the Cultivation Chat System’s New Year event to attack it.
• Tianzhi of Mo School, who has also entered this extraordinary realm, prepares to test himself against Shuhang. The other immortals give them room.
• Shuhang says he had expected to remain one step short of this level, but successive changes to the Dao of Longevity and his Sub-Immortal body have pushed him beyond mortal limits into the domain of the Minor Heavenly Dao. He may still grow stronger without becoming the Heavenly Dao.
• Tianzhi asks whether a gap remains between him and Shuhang—or between himself and the Confucian Sage at his peak.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang displays formidable power and growing confidence, while remaining modest about his status: he calls it simulated Immortality rather than true Immortality. His progress has outpaced even his own expectations.
• Tianzhi of Mo School moves from astonishment to focused curiosity and competitive resolve. He can resist Immortality’s influence better than the other observers and seeks an honest measure of his strength.
• Yue Ruhuo and the other immortals are awed by Shuhang’s radiance and power, though they struggle to accept that someone who has not become the Heavenly Dao can approach Immortality.
• Their exchange shifts from an impending battle to a deeper question: how Shuhang’s current level compares with Tianzhi’s and with the Confucian Sage’s former peak.

Significant themes

• The irresistible allure of power: Longevity Immortals find themselves drawn to Immortality Information even while knowing that looking at it is dangerous.
• Uncertainty around advancement: Shuhang’s rapid, unexpected growth challenges established ideas about the path to the Heavenly Dao.
• Comparison and self-knowledge: Tianzhi’s central concern is not simply whether Shuhang is powerful, but how large the gap is between them and legendary predecessors.
• Immortality versus imitation: The chapter distinguishes true Immortality from Shuhang’s powerful but still incomplete Sub-Immortal state.

Plot and events

• Mo School Tianzhi Daoist asks Song Shuhang to demonstrate the gap between himself and the Confucian Sage. Song agrees, using his experience with the Sage’s power and the Sage’s eyes embedded in his Cheat Dragon Network system to imitate the Sage’s state.
• Song swaps his Glazed Sage Eyes for the Holy Eye Golden Core. He suppresses his own Sub-Immortality power to make the demonstration closer to the Sage’s level.
• The demonstration begins with two Powerhouse Appraisal Technique beams—Song’s notorious Pregnancy Gaze. Tianzhi briefly feels an effect, but it fades.
• Song then opens a Space Gate and repeatedly punches Tianzhi through it, imitating the Confucian Sage’s famous Iron Fist of Knowledge. Tianzhi blocks with his cloak but is still badly hurt, though his wounds begin to heal.
• Convinced that a gap remains between him and the Sage, Tianzhi asks to test himself against Song directly. He gathers power from puppets spread throughout the Myriad Heavens and Realms and hurls his spear at the motionless Song. The chapter ends as the attack reaches him.

Character developments

• Song Shuhang confidently takes on the role of instructor, showing both familiarity with the Sage’s techniques and control over his own unusual body and powers. He deliberately restrains himself, though his Sub-Immortality strength still makes his punches dangerous.
• Mo School Tianzhi Daoist remains composed under pressure and recognizes that reaching the same realm does not necessarily mean matching the Sage. He shifts from learning about the Sage to testing his own strength against Song.

Themes

• Power and comparison: Reaching a great realm does not erase differences in experience, mastery, or strength.
• Imitation versus reality: Song can reproduce recognizable Sage techniques, but his own power and habits—especially the Pregnancy Gaze—make the imitation imperfect.
• Distributed strength and risk: Tianzhi’s spear draws on power from across the realms, turning his final test into a threat even to a formidable opponent.

Character interactions

• Song responds to Tianzhi’s request with a practical demonstration, while Tianzhi respectfully addresses him as “Fellow Daoist Tyrant Song.”
• The watching Longevity Immortals recognize the Sage-like fist attack from painful personal experience, but note that Song’s opening Pregnancy Gaze is nothing like the Sage’s usual approach.
• After enduring Song’s blows, Tianzhi openly acknowledges the Sage’s advantage, then challenges Song to reveal the gap between them.

Mr. Mo School Tianzhi’s all-out spear strike failed to pierce Tyrant Song’s eyeball, revealing the overwhelming gap between them while Song Shuhang had been distracted by enlightenment. As Senior Daozi began stepping down, Song Shuhang learned he was expected to take the Immortal King’s Seat and ascend as the Heavenly Dao.

• Mr. Mo School Tianzhi threw his full-power spear at Tyrant Song’s right eye, but the attack stopped at the surface and severely damaged Tianzhi’s weapon.
• Mr. Mo School Tianzhi realized Tyrant Song’s body had reached true immortality, while the watching Longevity Immortals wondered what realm Tyrant Song had attained.
• Song Shuhang came out of an enlightenment state, learned that Tianzhi’s spear had already struck him, and awkwardly pretended his eye hurt to ease Tianzhi’s embarrassment.
• Song Shuhang invited Tianzhi and the other Longevity Immortals to spar with him, but Senior Daozi told him to prepare to take the Immortal King’s Seat as the Heavenly Dao.
• Cultivators across the Myriad Heavens and Realms sensed that the Heavenly Dao had stepped down and were bewildered that the newly appointed Heavenly Dao had already left.

Key events and plot points

• News spreads that Daozi, widely believed to be the Ninth Heavenly Dao, is already stepping down—less than a month after attaining the position. The revelation shocks cultivators across the myriad worlds.
• Many Longevity Immortals notice that Song Shuhang is not surprised. They infer that he knew about the resignation and may have arranged Daozi’s ascension and departure.
• As Daozi steps down, a radiance from the Heavenly Dao Dimensional Realm envelops Shuhang. Daozi transfers him something through a channel originally established by Fat Ball Heavenly Dao.
• The transfer floods Shuhang with immense Dao information and Heavenly Dao data, injuring several onlookers who try to perceive it.
• Mo School Tianzhi recognizes the substance as Heavenly Dao–level computational power.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang appears calm and knowledgeable, strengthening the impression that he has been orchestrating events behind the scenes.
• Daozi relinquishes the Heavenly Dao position without hesitation and carries out the transfer to Shuhang, suggesting the move was planned in advance.
• The Longevity Immortals, including Yue Ruhuo and Tianzhi, watch Shuhang closely. They move from shock at Daozi’s resignation to increasingly elaborate suspicions that Shuhang arranged it all.
• Tianzhi provides the key insight by identifying what Daozi transferred: Heavenly Dao-level processing power.

Significant themes

• Power and sacrifice: Daozi’s quick departure challenges the assumption that anyone who attains the Heavenly Dao would cling to it.
• Scheming and perception: Shuhang’s calmness and the transfer lead observers to interpret him as a mastermind manipulating even the Heavenly Dao.
• The gap between attainments: Longevity Immortals’ desperate pursuit of immortality contrasts with the apparent ease and strategic freedom of those at the highest level.
  The chapter ends with the crowd convinced that Shuhang has received something extraordinary, while the exact implications of the computational power remain to be seen.

Key plot points

• Mo School Tianzhi recognizes that the pillar of light has given Song Shuhang a Heavenly Dao-level calculation ability. The surrounding cultivators speculate that Shuhang may be approaching the Heavenly Dao’s power without formally becoming one.
• The light fades after Daozi’s calculation “plug-in” finishes loading. It strengthens both Shuhang’s mental abilities and his Primordial Spirit, as well as Senior White’s Primordial Spirit—supporting their plan to prove the Dao together.
• With his body, strength, and Primordial Spirit already quasi-immortal, Shuhang believes he now has a way to survive even a catastrophic collapse of the worlds, though he hopes never to need it.
• The Heavenly Dao’s abdication signals the start of a new succession contest. The gathered Longevity Immortals wait to see whether Shuhang will compete, since few could challenge him.
• Instead, Shuhang calls Senior White out and declares that they will prove the Dao simultaneously. They seal their intention with a high-five, stunning Tianzhi.

Character developments and interactions

• Song Shuhang emerges from the upgrade with a clear purpose: he and Senior White must carry forward the “miracle” built by those across past, present, and future, then transcend and resolve lingering disasters and regrets. His newfound survival capacity gives him reassurance, not a reason to abandon that goal.
• Senior White joins Shuhang’s plan and shares in the Primordial Spirit strengthening. His careful step out of the Space Gate adds a touch of humor to the moment.
• Mo School Tianzhi, famed for calculation, becomes the group’s interpreter of events, first identifying Shuhang’s new ability and then voicing the startling implication of a joint ascension.
• The other Longevity Immortals and Tribulation Immortals keep their distance from Shuhang and watch in silence, effectively leaving the decision about the succession contest to him.

Significant themes

• Breaking established limits: Shuhang challenges the accepted rule that only one Heavenly Dao can exist in a generation.
• Cooperation over rivalry: Rather than compete for the Heavenly Dao Seat, Shuhang and Senior White intend to prove the Dao together.
• Responsibility across time: Shuhang sees himself and Senior White as custodians of a hard-won miracle, obligated to preserve and advance it.
• Power paired with contingency: Shuhang gains extraordinary resilience, but treats it as a last resort rather than his desired outcome.
