Li Mu awakened from a dream spanning billions of years with a newly created primordial-level curse system and control over the Emerald Dreamland’s roots. He identified the mysterious skull as belonging to the Fate Sacred Ancestor and wondered whether the Primeval Phoenix was preparing him to oppose the Dimension Will or to manipulate his destiny.

• Li Mu awakened in the Star Emblem Sacred World and realized the dream had taught him the Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor’s techniques and helped him create his own curse system.
• Li Mu inspected himself and the merged Emerald Dreamland, finding no sign that the Primeval Phoenix had tampered with him and confirming that he could control its Nightmare Dimension and eight root-power pillars.
• Li Mu examined the chained skull and identified it as a Primordial True Name artifact likely belonging to the Fate Sacred Ancestor, whose remains could resist fate’s power.
• Li Mu reasoned that the Dimension Will likely controlled the Fate Root and the Primeval Phoenix may have controlled the Destiny Root.
• Li Mu considered whether the Primeval Phoenix had given him the skull and Emerald Dreamland to control his destiny or to recruit him against the Dimension Will, and concluded the Phoenix might be weaker.

Li Mu explored the Sacred Blood Volcano, suspected it was connected to Fate Sacred Ancestor, and collected ninety-six drops of sacred blood. When his Mirror Demon clone entered the crater, it revealed a chained heart that spewed tainted blood and dripped sacred blood onto a golden seed.

• Li Mu arrived at the Sacred Blood Volcano and sent spark lifeforms to harvest nearby mummies while his Mirror Demon clone and Mirror Ghost Shadows investigated.
• Li Mu used the Star Emblem Sacred World to protect his clone from the blood rain and discovered flawless sacred blood around the volcano.
• Li Mu collected ninety-six drops of sacred blood but decided to save them until he could verify their safety and potential effects.
• Li Mu ordered the Mirror Demon clone into the crater, where the volcano drew it inward as the tainted blood reversed direction.
• Li Mu saw a gigantic chained heart spewing tainted blood and dropping sacred blood onto a golden seed that absorbed it.

Li Mu watched the Sacred Blood Volcano dissolve and acquired the Fate Sacred Ancestor’s heart and skeleton, which combined into a powerful puppet he named the Fate Skeleton. After spending months learning to control it, he set out early for the remaining two forbidden lands.

• The golden seed vanished before Li Mu could collect it, and the Sacred Blood Volcano began melting as the heart’s filthy blood grew more powerful.
• Li Mu saw the Fate Sacred Ancestor’s golden skeleton emerge, then stored it with the skull as the heart’s blood vessels attached to the bones.
• Li Mu collected some filthy blood and examined the remains, discovering that the heart and skeleton formed a puppet capable of fighting at the strength of an Eight-Pillar Sacred Ancestor for a prolonged battle or a Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor for one day.
• Li Mu concluded that the Primeval Phoenix had prepared the forbidden lands before traveling to the lower dimension, likely using a fate root to anticipate his arrival.
• Li Mu spent several months trying to control the incomplete puppet, named it the Fate Skeleton, and left for the remaining two forbidden lands while Spark lifeforms continued gathering dried-corpse resources.

Li Mu reached the Sky Stone Forbidden Land, sent Spark Life forms to mine its surrounding resources, and began preparing to become a Seven-Pillar Sacred Ancestor. He planned to use nine newly condensed Roots to strengthen his Mind Root and eventually control the Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor’s Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse.

• Li Mu tunneled down to the underground city, found maps of nearby mines, and dispatched Spark Life forms to collect Sky Stone raw ore.
• Li Mu sent the Mirror Demon clone and Mirror Ghost Shadow into the forbidden land to scout, then observed no changes after several hours.
• Li Mu decided to gather the surrounding resources to support the future growth of his mythic subordinates and strengthen his foundation.

• Li Mu planned to condense nine unclaimed Roots to strengthen his Mind Root and use his Primordial Heart Sense to control the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse.

Li Mu transformed his Mind Root, explored the Sky Stone Forbidden Land, and recovered the Fate Puppet’s missing limbs before merging the forbidden land into his Star Emblem Sacred World. He sent the Mirror Demon clone carrying the Fate Puppet into the Eternal Night Battlefield, where the skeletal wings that had concealed its sky emerged and joined the puppet.

• Li Mu condensed nine perception roots and merged them into his Mind Root, greatly expanding his Primordial Heart Sense across the upper dimension.
• Li Mu used his enhanced senses to understand the Sky Stone Forbidden Land and locate all its Sky Stone raw ore, then had Spark Life excavate it.
• Li Mu entered the Sky Stone Forbidden Land, where skeletal arms and legs fused with the Fate Puppet; he refined the puppet and merged the shrinking forbidden land with the Emerald Dreamland.
• Li Mu sent the Mirror Demon clone carrying the Fate Puppet into the Eternal Night Battlefield to test the forbidden land.
• A crack of sunlight appeared as the skeletal wings covering the battlefield’s sky absorbed its ghostfires, shrank, and settled onto the Fate Puppet’s back.

Li Mu completed the Fate Puppet and discovered the Dimension Will’s hidden purpose for the Primordial Altar. He decided to master the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse and use the altar’s dimensional fragments to travel between the upper and lower dimensions.

• Li Mu refined the Fate Bone Wings, making the Fate Puppet a true Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor for one day, then sealed it in the Star Emblem Mirror Eye.
• Li Mu searched the upper dimension for a route home and concluded that only the Primordial Altar’s connection to the Primordial Ancient Road could help him return to the lower dimension.
• Li Mu used the Sacrifice Saint Ancestor’s Primordial Ancient Thought and true spirit to raise his Fantasy Fire Candle to the primordial level, then used it to perceive what the Primordial Altar concealed.
• Li Mu discovered that the altar held Primeval Life forms trapped in a cycle of merging and slaughter, intended for the Dimension Will’s Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse.
• Li Mu resolved to master the curse and sacrifice the Primordial Altar to himself, then removed the dimensional fragments that could support several journeys between the upper and lower dimensions.

Li Mu discovered that the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse concealed a danger and devised a way to return to the lower dimension without wasting dimensional barrier fragments. He strengthened the Star Emblem Mirror Eye, mastered the Six Paths Reincarnation Curse, and divided his power into tens of millions of independent lives, leaving himself at the level of a One-Pillar Sacred Ancestor.

• Li Mu used the Fantasy Fire Candle to examine his treasures and sensed a hidden danger in the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse just before the candle burned out.
• Li Mu planned to use one dimensional barrier fragment to open a temporary passage and disperse his power so he could return to the lower dimension.
• Li Mu spent several hundred accelerated years fusing Primeval Blue Star and the Starlight World into the Star Emblem Mirror Eye, enhancing its abilities.
• Li Mu spent tens of thousands of accelerated years mastering the Six Paths Reincarnation Curse, which could create and control many kinds of life.
• Li Mu used the curse to divide his body and consciousness into tens of millions of independent lifeforms, reducing his strength from a Six-Pillar to a One-Pillar Sacred Ancestor.

Li Mu cultivated the Heavenly Punishment Wishful Curse and returned to the lower dimension through a passage he forced open. He arrived in the buffer zone between the Primeval Phoenix and Dimension Will, whose resurrections had advanced enough for their Primordial Ancient Thoughts to clash.

• Li Mu sent more than ten million avatars to Primeval Blue Star, where they built a civilization and began cultivating.
• Li Mu cultivated for five thousand years beneath the Primordial Heaven-Reaching Tree and mastered the Heavenly Punishment Wishful Curse.
• Li Mu tested the curse by destroying a barren mountain with a heavenly punishment formed from root sources.
• Li Mu used the Dimensional Root and Heavenly Condemnation Wishful Curse to pierce a passage between the upper and lower dimensions, then returned in his Primeval Ghost Body.
• Li Mu found the lower dimension divided between the Primeval Phoenix’s phoenix egg, the Dimension Will’s black phoenix egg, and the central buffer zone, where their Primordial Ancient Thoughts collided.

Li Mu destroyed one-fifth of the lower dimension’s barrier and used its fragments to grow his small dimension into a self-sustaining world. He planned to fuse the Time Root and Spatial Root into a Spacetime Root and use the small dimension to become a Seven-Pillar Saint Ancestor.

• Li Mu escaped the lower dimension while the Primeval Phoenix held back the Dimension Will, then used the Dimension Root to destroy and collect fragments from one-fifth of the dimensional barrier.
• After five days, Li Mu left for the Desolate Void and traveled for several months before checking the fragments in the Eternal Life King Cauldron.
• Li Mu confirmed the fragments were safe, sent them into his small dimension, and used the Eternal Life King Cauldron to refine them into dimensional source power.
• The small dimension grew to one-tenth the size of the lower dimension and formed its own dimensional barrier and Dimensional Origin Sea.
• Li Mu rejected merging the small dimension with either the Star Emblem Sacred World or the Eternal Life King Cauldron, choosing instead to use it to advance his cultivation.
• Li Mu planned to fuse the Time Root and Spatial Root into a Spacetime Root and imprint his Primordial True Name across the small dimension’s spacetime source power.

Li Mu fused the Time Root and Spatial Root into a Space-Time Root, then used it to transform the Star Emblem Sacred World into a Seven-Pillar Sacred World. He began planning to speed its long transformation by drawing on the Emerald Dreamland and Sky Stone Forbidden Land through the Eternal Life King Cauldron.

• Li Mu refined the Time Root and Spatial Root inside the Primordial Space-Time Clam and fused them into the Space-Time Root in less than a thousand years.
• Li Mu imprinted his Primordial True Name onto all space-time energy in the small dimension, gaining control over it.
• Li Mu used that energy to make the Space-Time Heavenly Pillar materialize and merge into the Phoenix Sacred Hall and the Star Emblem Sacred World.
• Li Mu projected the Space-Time Heavenly Pillar into the Desolate Void to absorb space-time power and nourish the Star Emblem Sacred World.
• Li Mu decided to use the Eternal Life King Cauldron and the Emerald Dreamland and Sky Stone Forbidden Land to accelerate the Star Emblem Sacred World's transformation.

Li Mu strengthened the Star Emblem Sacred World by absorbing ten space-time storms, establishing himself as a Seven-Pillar Sacred Ancestor and considering the path to eight pillars. While repairing the small dimension after another storm struck, he discovered a stele revealing that the Desolate Void was a graveyard of fallen Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestors.

• Li Mu captured a space-time storm and refined it with the Star Emblem Sacred World, the Eight-Pillar Sacred Worlds, and the Eternal Life King Cauldron.
• Over less than two years of outside time, Li Mu absorbed ten storms and transformed the Star Emblem Sacred World, becoming powerful enough to defeat a Six-Pillar Sacred Ancestor with ease.
• As Li Mu considered how to advance to eight pillars without relying on the upper dimension, a huge storm struck the small dimension, and the Eternal Life King Cauldron helped its barrier survive.
• While repairing the small dimension, Li Mu's Primordial Soul-Burying Tree clone found an incomplete stele inscribed in Primordial True Speech.
• After spending nearly ten thousand years deciphering the writing, Li Mu learned that space-time storms were remnants of Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestors who had died or surrendered their Sacred Worlds in the Desolate Void.

Li Mu studied the stele’s account of the Desolate Void’s decline and its possible method of transcendence, then advanced to the peak of the seven-pillar Sacred Ancestor realm and formed an eighth pillar. Unable to find a path forward, he sensed that the Primeval Phoenix and the Dimension Will were about to resurrect.

• Li Mu read the stele’s findings about the Desolate Void’s dwindling energy, its approaching destruction, and a possible way for three nine-pillar Sacred Ancestors to transcend it.
• Li Mu spent twenty years gathering spacetime storms and accumulating source power in his small dimension, but found no more relics like the stele.
• Li Mu used the accumulated energy to master seven Source Power Heavenly Pillars, reaching the peak of the seven-pillar Sacred Ancestor realm.
• Li Mu chose the Greed Root for his eighth pillar and fused it successfully, but found he could not advance further without learning how to form another Primordial True Name.
• Li Mu sensed that the Primeval Phoenix and the Dimension Will had stopped fighting and were about to truly resurrect.

Li Mu faced two Eight-Pillar Sacred Ancestor avatars sent by the Dimension Will while the Dimension Will battled the Primeval Phoenix. He ambushed the Benevolent Thought avatar inside his disguised Star Emblem Sacred World, but the enemy recovered and unfolded a Sacred World, leaving Li Mu only a few days to find a way to kill it.

• The Dimension Will split into three spark motherships, sending two Eight-Pillar avatars to hunt Li Mu as it continued fighting the Primeval Phoenix.
• Li Mu fled while refining spacetime storms, then disguised his Star Emblem Sacred World as a nearby storm after stabilizing his Eight-Pillar cultivation.
• Li Mu concluded that Benevolent Thought and Malevolent Thought were avatars of the Dimension Will's true self and decided to target Malevolent Thought first if he could.
• Li Mu used the Star Emblem Mirror Eye to identify Benevolent Thought, swallowed its ship with his disguised Sacred World, and attacked it with an eight-headed Phoenix created from his Roots.
• The Benevolent Thought ship damaged the eight-headed Phoenix, then healed under Nirvana Divine Flame and unfolded a fallen Eight-Pillar Sacred Ancestor's Sacred World while Malevolent Thought attacked from outside.

Li Mu drove the Five Virtues Phoenix into repeated high-speed collisions with Dimension Will's Benevolent Thought's ship, overcoming its defenses while discovering that fate was slowly marking his hull. He turned to a direct assault and pierced the enemy ship, leaving the Benevolent Thought desperate to inflict a fatal fate curse before it fell.

• Li Mu accelerated the Five Virtues Phoenix, stacked its damage enhancements, converted its damage into defense, and rammed the enemy ship repeatedly without suffering harm.
• Dimension Will's Benevolent Thought realized its fate powers could not stop Li Mu and devised a plan to destroy him and reclaim the Spark Root.
• The Benevolent Thought transformed its ship into a humanoid form and marked the Five Virtues Phoenix with a fate curse using its spear.
• Li Mu shifted the Five Virtues Phoenix's defenses into damage, concentrated its Super Main Cannon power into its beak, and pierced the enemy ship.
• Li Mu shrank the Five Virtues Phoenix and drilled into the enemy ship, while the Benevolent Thought abandoned defense and forced fate into its hull.

Li Mu survived the Benevolent Enemy Ship’s self-destruction, then used a spacetime storm to drive off the Malicious Thought Enemy Ship. After learning that giant storms concealed sleeping Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestors, he continued into the Desolate Void and prepared to inspect his small dimension for a possible hidden threat.

• Li Mu destroyed the Benevolent Enemy Ship, survived its Shipboard Spark’s self-destruction, and discovered a destiny curse mark that would take days to remove.
• When the Malicious Thought Enemy Ship attacked, Li Mu stirred a giant spacetime storm with heavenly punishment lightning, forcing it to retreat.
• Li Mu learned from the Malicious Thought Enemy Ship’s message that Primordial True Names of dead Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestors slept within giant spacetime storms and could revive.
• Li Mu suspected a nameless Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor had sent a stone stele into his small dimension to steal it, and resolved to inspect the dimension thoroughly.
• As Li Mu’s Phoenix moved deeper into the Desolate Void, phantoms emerged in the storm he had left and began a fierce debate.

Li Mu overheard the Primordial Ancient Ancestors debating whether to interfere in the battle between the Primeval Phoenix and the Dimension Will, and learned the history behind their struggle for transcendence. He decided to keep building his strength and seek refuge in the Ancient Wilderness Dimension if the conflict turned against him, while waiting for a chance to claim part of the lower dimension.

• Primordial Ancient Ancestors argued over whether to restart the war, support Li Mu, or wait for the Desolate Void to reach its end, fearing the losses any intervention would bring.
• Li Mu used disguised consciousness thoughts to infiltrate the spacetime storm and overheard the Ancestors reveal that the upper dimension was once called the Ancient Wilderness Dimension.
• Li Mu learned that the Primeval Phoenix was the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor, while the Dimension Will was the former Ancient Wilderness Sacred Ancestor, and that both sought to take the other's power and transcend alone.
• Li Mu realized the Ancient Wilderness Dimension rejected its former rulers after their war, but his Spark Root allowed him to enter it.
• Li Mu resolved to strengthen himself, flee to the Ancient Wilderness Dimension if needed, and seize part of the lower dimension when the Primeval Phoenix and Dimension Will fought.

As the Dimension Will and the Primeval Phoenix continued their decades-long stalemate, Li Mu strengthened his small dimension and followed the Eternal Life King Cauldron to a dying dimension. There, the cauldron absorbed Primordial True Speech from the Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor’s grave, completing a second set of Primordial True Names that Li Mu could understand.

• The Dimension Will worried that the Primeval Phoenix was using Li Mu as a trump card and struggled to decide whether to force a swift battle or prolong the fight.
• The Primeval Phoenix observed that Li Mu had reached the peak of the Eight-Pillar Sacred Ancestor realm, while knowing he could not become a Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor without another such ancestor’s power.
• Li Mu focused on strengthening his small dimension and considered the risk of burning its foundation to briefly reach Nine-Pillar strength.
• The Eternal Life King Cauldron guided Li Mu to a dimension as powerful as the upper dimension, where the Spark Root became a Primordial Spark.
• Li Mu found the Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor’s grave, and the Eternal Life King Cauldron absorbed Primordial True Speech that completed a second set of Primordial True Names, which Li Mu understood.

Li Mu read Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor’s account of the Ancient Wilderness War and learned how the alien object drove the Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestors into conflict. He suspected Fate Sacred Ancestor’s vanished seed was linked to its apparent death, and wondered what Primeval Phoenix wanted from him.

• Li Mu read the fading Primordial True Names and learned that the Ancient Wilderness Dimension was the dying battlefield, while the upper dimension had formed from its fragments.
• Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor’s account revealed that Fate Sacred Ancestor helped him attain the Dao, but an alien object later drew the three Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestors into war against Ancient Sacred Ancestor.
• After the Ancient Wilderness Dimension was destroyed, Ancient Wilderness Sacred Ancestor attacked Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor over the alien object, and a new Dimension Will emerged during their final battle.
• Fate Sacred Ancestor died in the final conflict, Ancient Wilderness Sacred Ancestor was left near death, and Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor reincarnated as Primeval Phoenix.
• Li Mu examined Primeval Blue Star and suspected Fate Sacred Ancestor’s missing seed was the golden seed that had vanished from Sacred Blood Volcano.
• Li Mu wondered what Primeval Phoenix was plotting by revealing the account through the Eternal Life King Cauldron.

Li Mu recovered the Reincarnation Sacred Fire from the Ancient Wilderness Dimension, triggering its collapse and the revival of the Eternal Heaven Dimension. He sealed the Dimension Origin Seed’s offspring instead of fusing with it, while the Fate Sacred Ancestor escaped with the cauldron and sacred fire, leaving the Primeval Phoenix worried that its plans would fail.

• Li Mu used the Primordial Spark to destroy the Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor’s grave and absorbed the Reincarnation Sacred Fire into the Eternal Life King Cauldron.
• The Ancient Wilderness Dimension collapsed, and its remaining foundation flowed into the cauldron as the Eternal Heaven Dimension began to revive.
• A Dimension Origin Seed offspring appeared and revealed that the Fate Sacred Ancestor had taken the cauldron and Reincarnation Sacred Fire to transcend; Li Mu sealed the offspring rather than fusing with it.
• Li Mu transformed into the Phoenix and fled as the collapsing Ancient Wilderness Dimension became a massive time-space storm.
• The Dimension Will and Primeval Phoenix watched the storm; the Dimension Will prepared to attack, while the Primeval Phoenix feared that losing the cauldron and sacred fire had ruined its plans.

Li Mu observed the Ancient Wilderness Dimension’s destruction, then merged his small dimension and two Sacred Worlds into the Star Emblem Sacred World to pursue becoming a Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor. He offered the Ancient Sacred Ancestors his Primordial True Name in exchange for the resources he needed, while concealing that he already possessed a second set of Primordial True Names.

• Li Mu watched the Ancient Wilderness Dimension vanish and sensed that its lost spacetime power might reveal the Desolate Void’s secrets.
• Li Mu merged his small dimension with the Star Emblem Sacred World, transforming its Space-Time Heavenly Pillar into a Dimensional Heavenly Pillar rooted in the Phoenix Sacred Hall.
• Li Mu dismantled the Emerald Dreamland and the Sky Stone Forbidden Land to strengthen the Star Emblem Sacred World, but it remained short of becoming a Nine-Pillar Sacred World.
• Li Mu approached the Ancient Sacred Ancestors and offered to hand over his Primordial True Name in exchange for the resources to become a Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor.
• The Ancient Sacred Ancestors considered Li Mu’s proposal, unaware that he already possessed a second set of Primordial True Names and could conceal them.

Li Mu traded part of his Primordial True Name to the ancient Sacred Ancestors for resources and used them to advance the Star Emblem Sacred World toward nine pillars. He created nine reincarnation bodies to condense Roots through his own Sacred World, then reclaimed them to reach Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor strength before sending them out to establish subsidiary Sacred Worlds.

• The ancient Sacred Ancestors agreed to Li Mu’s trade, exchanged resources for portions of his Primordial True Name, and watched him depart to prepare for his breakthrough.
• Li Mu used the traded resources to strengthen the Star Emblem Sacred World and chose the Disguise Root for its final Source Power Heavenly Pillar.
• Li Mu split off nine True Spirit Ninth Transformation avatars and used the Star Emblem Sacred World to help them transform into Primeval Life and condense distinct Roots.
• The nine reincarnation bodies formed Primordial True Names copied from Li Mu’s second set, strengthening it as each body completed its transformation.
• Li Mu reclaimed the avatars through the Six Paths Reincarnation Curse, reached Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor strength, then split them off again to establish Sacred Worlds and become One-Pillar Sacred Ancestors.

Li Mu condensed his ninth Source Power Heavenly Pillar and became a Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestor, imprinting his Primordial True Names throughout the Star Emblem Sacred World. After discovering that Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestors could rewrite parts of their own life stories, he stabilized his cultivation with resources from Emerald Dreamland and Sky Stone Forbidden Land.

• Li Mu began transforming in seclusion beneath three-thousandfold time acceleration and condensed his ninth Source Power Heavenly Pillar from the Star Emblem Sacred World’s disguised source power.
• Li Mu imprinted his second set of Primordial True Names into all his pillars and throughout the Star Emblem Sacred World, gaining perfect control of it and new means to draw on its power and survive fatal damage.
• Li Mu created a third and fourth set of Primordial True Names after discovering that his Fantasy True Name of Primordial Heart Sense worked on both earlier sets.
• Li Mu learned that Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestors could alter their own second set of Primordial True Names to revise personal outcomes, though they could not change others’ stories or turn defeat into victory.
• Li Mu concluded that Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestors could be killed by destroying their Primordial True Names or have their power seized through overwriting them, then stabilized his cultivation using resources from Emerald Dreamland and Sky Stone Forbidden Land.

Li Mu became a Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestor as the Dimension Will began destroying the lower dimension to forge it into a Sacred World and trap the Primeval Phoenix. The Primeval Phoenix sent Li Mu its Nirvana Spark and both sets of its Primordial True Names, and Li Mu discovered the truth behind its plan.

• Li Mu's ascension shocked the Dimension Will, which realized its destiny-based schemes had failed and decided to destroy the lower dimension.
• The Dimension Will unleashed its Primordial Ancient Thought and nine Source Power Heavenly Pillars, causing the lower dimension to collapse as it and the Primeval Phoenix fought over the barrier fragments.
• The Primeval Phoenix sent dimensional barrier fragments to Li Mu through the Fate Puppet, and Li Mu used his transformed Primordial Ancient Thought to sense the lower dimension and contact it.
• The Primeval Phoenix sent Li Mu a Nirvana Spark containing nine roots and its two sets of Primordial True Names, leaving itself exposed without attacking.
• Li Mu examined both sets of the Primeval Phoenix's Primordial True Names and understood what it had been plotting.

Li Mu learned from the Primeval Phoenix's Primordial True Name that he was its reincarnation, created as a hidden chance to survive the Dimension Will. Unsure whether the account was genuine or a ploy to seize his body, he sought answers from the Ancient Sacred Ancestors before deciding whether to inherit the Nirvana Spark.

• Li Mu learned that the Primeval Phoenix had been the reincarnation of the Eternal Life Sacred Ancestor and had used the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse to grow stronger by bargaining with the spiritual essence of all beings.
• The Primeval Phoenix had severed a fragment of its true spirit, which reincarnated as Li Mu on Primeval Blue Star, and had secretly nurtured him as a way to survive its coming battle with the Dimension Will.
• Li Mu realized that his connection to the Primeval Phoenix explained why it had sent him the Eternal Life King Cauldron, Fate Puppet, Reincarnation Sacred Fire, dimensional barrier fragments, and Nirvana Spark.
• Li Mu doubted whether the Primeval Phoenix's Primordial True Name could be trusted and feared that fusing with its Nirvana Spark might let it seize his body.
• Li Mu decided to consult the Ancient Sacred Ancestors about whether Primordial True Names could be forged, while remaining wary that the Phoenix might know more about them than they did.

The Primeval Phoenix and the Dimension Will fought after the Dimension Will refined the collapsed lower dimension into the Nine-Pillar Sacred World. The Primeval Phoenix and Fate Puppet suppressed the Dimension Will with the Nirvana Nine Transformations, but the Dimension Will escaped before they could finish it.

• The Dimension Will refined the collapsed lower dimension into the Nine-Pillar Sacred World and prepared to face the Primeval Phoenix.
• The Primeval Phoenix summoned the Fate Puppet, and the two attacked the Dimension Will as it fled toward Li Mu through the Desolate Void.
• The Primeval Phoenix used Nirvana Nine Transformations to catch the Dimension Will, then fought it while the Fate Puppet intercepted it.
• The Dimension Will's polluted beak wounded the Primeval Phoenix, but the Phoenix rebirthed to resist the pollution and bit the Dimension Will's neck.
• The Fate Puppet struck the Dimension Will, allowing the Primeval Phoenix's Nirvana Flame to spread its injuries and suppress its healing.
• The Dimension Will shielded itself with its sacred world, broke free from the Primeval Phoenix, and fled.
