• Qin Ming summoned Luo Feng to the Netherworld God Country and gave him the incomplete Siwu Wings.
• Qin Ming told Luo Feng that Venerable Tianchang likely possessed another pair of wings, but asked him to arrange the meeting with Zuoshan Ke first.

Zuoshan Ke joined the Hong Alliance, and the Human Race welcomed him as both a Cosmic Overlord and a top-tier Artifact Forging Master. After the banquet, he warned Qin Ming and the other leaders that Purple Moon Holy Land had allied with Machine Race Father God and others to stop humanity’s rise.

Qin Ming brought Zuoshan Ke into the Netherworld to discuss his reasons for joining the Hong Alliance, then offered to help him take revenge in exchange for a price.

• Zuoshan Ke told the human leaders that the Machine Race Father God was recruiting forces with legacies from Purple Moon Holy Land, including a path to becoming Cosmic Overlords.
• Qin Ming dismissed the threat, and Giant Axe and Lord of Chaos City agreed that humanity should eventually strike back; Qin Ming said they would wait until Lord Ganwu and Lord of Darkness reincarnated and cultivated anew.

Zuoshan Ke agreed, and Qin Ming asked him to provide artifact-refining knowledge, leaving Zuoshan Ke convinced that Qin Ming’s lack of cultivation memories would let him evade the Original Universe’s restrictions.

• Qin Ming revealed that he knew Zuoshan Ke had reincarnated and wanted revenge for his lost wife, family, sect, and kingdom.
• Zuoshan Ke begged Qin Ming to help avenge him, and Qin Ming promised to do so when the time was right in exchange for Zuoshan Ke’s previous-life corpse.

• Qin Ming said he had no cultivation memories and would need to learn from scratch, leading Zuoshan Ke to believe Qin Ming would not be targeted by the Original Universe Will.

Zuoshan Ke gave Qin Ming an artifact-forging inheritance, but the Original Universe Will intervened and erased most of its information. Qin Ming retained three complete True God-limit artifact-forging systems, while Zuoshan Ke agreed to join the Hong Alliance and help its craftsmen.

• Qin Ming and Zuoshan Ke agreed to address each other as fellow Daoists, and Zuoshan Ke offered to record artifact-forging knowledge for him.

• Qin Ming reassured Zuoshan Ke that he would still help him and invited him to join the Hong Alliance and guide its artifact forgers.
• Qin Ming examined the surviving inheritance and found three complete True God-limit systems: the Nine-Pattern Compendium, the Myriad-Forging Chain Form, and the Heavenly Net.

• Qin Ming studied the Nine-Pattern Record, Myriad-Forging Chain Form, and Heavenly Net, recognizing that his current artifact-forging plans were crude and that he needed to improve his strength first.
• Zuoshan Ke joined the Hong Alliance, while other factions secretly pursued the Purple Moon Holy Land inheritances and the Original Universe’s tense atmosphere eased on the surface.
• Ganwu told Qin Ming he was ready to reincarnate and chose a Space-Time Dragon Whale for its space-time talent and Clone Talent.
• Humanity’s Cosmic Lords gathered in Qin Ming’s Netherworld God Country as Ganwu prepared to reincarnate, with Lord of Darkness and others also planning to follow.
• Qin Ming extracted Ganwu’s soul, preserved and strengthened a trace of his True Spirit, then opened the Netherworld Gate and carried it to the Space-Time Dragon Whale’s Secret Realm.

• Qin Ming reincarnated Ganwu into a gestating Space-Time Dragon Whale and agreed to reincarnate Lord of Darkness, Venerable Baifeng, and two Cosmic Lords into suitable Special Lifeforms.

• Ganwu reunited with the Cosmic Lords and said his first clone would be the Nine Underworlds Sea and his second would be the Yan God Clan.

• Ganwu explained that he had chosen the Yan God Clan for his second avatar on Qin Ming’s recommendation, and Qin Ming said the clan’s potential was still his unverified conjecture.
• Lord of Dragon Travel and Lord Youhou asked Qin Ming to help them reincarnate, and seven Cosmic Lords began the process as Qin Ming agreed to handle them one at a time.
• Ganwu cultivated in the Netherworld God Country, raised his three clones’ Gene Multiples to 10,081, and quickly returned to the rank of Cosmic Lord.
• Baifeng, Lord of Darkness, and other Human Race powerhouses reincarnated and recovered their strength; three thousand years later, Lord of Chaos City also reincarnated, raising the Human Race’s combat power to that of over a hundred top Cosmic Lords.
• Qin Ming found that his progress in artifact forging and the Divine Power Path had stalled, so he decided to seek experience and battles in the Cosmic Sea with Giant Axe.
• Qin Ming sent a voice transmission to Giant Axe and told him to prepare to head for the Cosmic Sea.

After crossing out of the Toya Black Hole into the Cosmic Sea, Qin Ming tried to open the gate, leaving the result unknown.

• Qin Ming opened the Netherworld Gate at the outskirts of the Toya Black Hole, and he and Giant Axe flew through it toward the Cosmic Sea.
• Qin Ming and Giant Axe crossed beyond the Original Universe into the Cosmic Sea, where Qin Ming tried to open the Netherworld Gate as Giant Axe watched expectantly.

Qin Ming and Giant Axe confirmed that the Netherworld Gate could teleport through the Cosmic Sea, giving the Human Race a way to gather, escape danger, and return to the Original Universe. Back in the Primal Secret Realm, Qin Ming and the other leaders set prices and rules for distributing Myriad Souls Banner Branches as the Human Race prepared to explore the Cosmic Sea.

• Qin Ming opened the Netherworld Gate in the Cosmic Sea, and Giant Axe confirmed that his own Myriad Souls Banner Branch could open it too, though travel consumed more energy and some regions might resist teleportation.
• Qin Ming and Giant Axe returned to the Primal Secret Realm through the gate and summoned Lord of Chaos City, Lord of Darkness, Lord Penggong, and the other human Cosmic Lords.
• Qin Ming offered top-tier Emperor Banner branches for two thousand Treasure Points and high-tier versions for two hundred, with purchases available on credit.
• Giant Axe, Lord of Chaos City, Lord Penggong, Lord of Qingdong, and Lord Huangjian agreed that the banners and Qin Ming's revival services should not be free, and Qin Ming accepted the pricing rules.
• Qin Ming urged the Human Race to stay united and call for help quickly, since the races of the Cosmic Sea were watching them.

More than thirty Human Race Cosmic Lords entered the Cosmic Sea, ready to hunt the Purple Moon Holy Land’s forces while exploring its perilous regions. In Qingfeng Realm, Qin Ming discovered that his Myriad Souls Banner could devour a shattered Small Universe, prompting humanity to organize an effort to find more.

• Lord of Chaos City warned the Human Race Cosmic Lords that the Purple Moon Holy Land and other forces might attack them, while Lord of Darkness and Lord of Qingdong urged them to hunt their enemies together.
• The Cosmic Lords split into groups and entered different natural wormholes, while Qin Ming, Giant Axe, and Lord of Chaos City traveled toward Qingfeng Realm.
• Qin Ming found a shattered Small Universe and used the Myriad Souls Banner to pull its ruins into the Netherworld God Country, steadily enlarging it.
• Lord of Chaos City and Giant Axe realized that devouring the more than twenty thousand known shattered Small Universes could greatly expand Qin Ming’s Divine Kingdom and help humanity establish a Holy Land.
• Lord of Chaos City informed the other Human Race Cosmic Lords, who eagerly offered to send Clones to help Qin Ming find and devour shattered Small Universes.
