Emperor Qing chose to submit to the Netherworld as its forces surrounded Yanfeng Holy Land, while Yanfeng Progenitor weighed whether to follow him. In the Netherworld, Qin Ming ordered the Virtual Universe and a talent-selection system to be spread across Origin Continent, leaving Lord of Chaos City to organize the rollout.

• Emperor Qing decided the Netherworld offered his best chance to rise and flew out of Yanfeng Holy Land to accept its scrutiny and become a minor official.

• Qin Ming sensed a summons from the source world's origin, and a fragment of his soul merged into it.

Qin Ming discovered that he could merge his soul with Origin Continent’s World Origin, but his strength was not yet sufficient to refine it. He planned to cultivate, extend the Netherworld’s reach into the Small Universes, and use the Virtual Universe to guide belief, then noticed Emperor Qing and Yanfeng Progenitor might submit to him.

• Qin Ming compared Origin Continent’s World Origin with the Netherworld’s and learned that its nine Supreme Rules were powerful but the source world was damaged.
• Qin Ming tried to envelop Origin Continent with his Six Paths of Reincarnation Domain, but his First Level God King strength was insufficient.
• Qin Ming realized faith-based refinement required the Small Universe inhabitants, who held most of the source world’s origin, to believe he was the Lord of the Source World.
• Qin Ming decided not to force belief, and planned to locate Small Universes, advance to the Second Level of God King, bring them under the Netherworld’s Dominion, and guide people through the Virtual Universe.
• Qin Ming considered his paths to refining Origin Continent and wondered whether Emperor Qing and Yanfeng Progenitor were planning to submit.

Qin Ming accepted Emperor Qing and Yanfeng Progenitor into the Netherworld after their trials, and Yanfeng Progenitor’s history revealed how his faith-based attempt to refine the Origin Continent had hastened a past reincarnation. As the Netherworld absorbed his inheritances and expanded across the continent, Qin Ming secluded himself to study them and completed the Second Level of God King.

• Qin Ming ordered Emperor Qing and Yanfeng Progenitor to undergo Netherworld judgment, and Yanfeng Progenitor offered the Yanfeng Ancient Kingdom’s treasures and inheritances.

• Qin Ming’s comprehension of the Origin Great Daos advanced until he completed the Second Level of God King.

After reaching the Second Level of God King, Qin Ming exchanged for Xing Mang’s Space-Time Walker inheritance and decided to pursue the space-time path to perfect his Reincarnation Great Dao. Lord Xing Mang appeared and questioned why Qin Ming wanted to add another Dao.

• Qin Ming reached the Second Level of God King after comprehending all twenty-four phases of Life Origin and fusing its Source of Life and Body of Life branches.
• Qin Ming planned to master the other Origin Great Daos, become Lord of the Source World, and eventually reverse-deduce the Reincarnation Great Dao.
• Qin Ming exchanged 90 reward points for the first volume of Xing Mang’s Space-Time Walker inheritance, which required its practitioner to explore the Space-Time River without losing their sense of self.

Lord Xing Mang warned him about the dangers of the Space-Time River and revealed that the Infinite Chaos Source Space’s Space-Time Mother River was vastly more perilous than any source world’s river.

• Qin Ming told Lord Xing Mang that he planned to use the Netherworld and Reincarnation Great Dao to connect and govern the realms of the Infinite Chaos Source Space.
• Qin Ming explained that Soul Channels alone could not link the Netherworld across the vast Chaos Source Space, so he intended to incorporate the Time and Space Origin Great Daos.
• Lord Xing Mang warned Qin Ming that combining eight Daos would make his cultivation path far more difficult, but Qin Ming remained resolved.
• Lord Xing Mang showed Qin Ming the Space-Time River and explained that each memory contained a complete era whose rise and destruction a Space-Time Walker experienced firsthand.

• Qin Ming asked about time travel across the Infinite Chaos Source Space, and Lord Xing Mang explained that its Space-Time Mother River was so dangerous that even he could not resurrect the dead from it.

Qin Ming received Lord Xing Mang’s Space-Time Walker inheritance and used it to glimpse the Space-Time River, gaining insight while enduring its chaotic memories. He resolved to strengthen his other Origin Great Daos and take the Myriad Souls Banner to the Dream Domain’s core for its next transformation.

• Lord Xing Mang told Qin Ming about the Cultivator Faction’s Space-Time Array and gave him the second and third volumes of Space-Time Walker.
• Qin Ming returned beneath the World Tree and studied the inheritance’s Space-Time Heart Refining Method.
• Qin Ming entered the Space-Time River, witnessed memories of the Source World’s past and possible futures, then withdrew with help from the River of Oblivion Clone.
• Qin Ming noticed that he could not see the Myriad Souls Banner in the future branches and suspected it could shield him from the influence of his other future selves.
• Qin Ming decided to continue deducing the other Origin Great Daos and travel to the core of the Dream Domain to let the Myriad Souls Banner transform.

Qin Ming entered the Dream Domain’s dark region with ten thousand Ultimate God King Netherworld War Beasts and used the Myriad Souls Banner to lead them against its native creatures.

• Qin Ming found hundreds of serpent lifeforms whose strength rivaled Emperor Qing’s, and his war beasts overwhelmed them despite suffering casualties.
• The Six Paths of Reincarnation drew in a serpent lifeform’s soul, triggering the Myriad Souls Banner’s transformation into a Chaos Source-level supreme treasure.

• Qin Ming approached the Jade Disk at the core but stopped when he sensed that entering it could kill him, and resolved to investigate after becoming a World-Level Chaos Source.

Qin Ming discovered that the transformed Myriad Souls Banner’s Soul Grinding Disk might be able to kill beings thought impossible to destroy, while Soul Projection let him extend the Netherworld’s Six Paths of Reincarnation across Origin Continent and the wider Infinite Chaos Source Space. After suppressing the remaining Dream Domain forces, he turned his attention to the approaching end of the first Origin Continent Cosmic Genius Battle and future campaigns.

• Qin Ming sensed the Netherworld’s growth stop after its resources ran out and learned that the Myriad Souls Banner had gained the Soul Grinding Disk, which could grind away even Law Secret Patterns.

At the first Origin Continent Genius Battle, Qin Ming learned how the Virtual Universe and widespread inheritances had uncovered vast numbers of powerful young geniuses and strengthened faith in the Netherworld. As the Netherworld transformed, he ordered its leaders to prepare a management system for future expansion and reviewed the Pioneering Department’s intelligence on nearby worlds.

He ordered the Pioneering Department to investigate and go ahead, and assigned Zuoshan Ke to lead the Twelve Reincarnation Legions’ first battle there.

• Qin Ming searched the intelligence jade slip for worlds suited to cultivating the Soul and Death Origin Great Daos, finding the distant Netherworld Realm as a possible backup.

The chapter ended with Qin Ming learning that the Demon Realm was protected by You Emperor, a God Emperor Perfection expert, and held many powerful demons.

• Qin Ming used Ghost Gate Pass and the Myriad Souls Banner to refine the River of Filthy Blood, grinding away its residual will and extracting secret-pattern fragments that repaired and strengthened the banner.

After announcing new opportunities and bringing their dead under the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he finally arrived at the Demon Realm after a thousand years of travel.

• The Time-Space Old Demon explained that the Demon Realm’s natives carried Chaos Source bloodlines and that its demons could regenerate unless destroyed by God Emperor-level soul will.
