• Primeval Blue Star gained the Primeval Insect Race trait, making Li Mu its Insect Emperor and granting him a talent to share insect abilities and endure as long as insect life survived.

Li Mu used Thought Insects, the Fantasy Fire Candle, and the Primordial Heavenly Heart Flower to push his Primordial Heart Sense beyond the Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestor realm and see beyond the Desolate Void. He uncovered the Fate Sacred Ancestor’s schemes and the danger in the Nirvana Spark, then realized the Faith Ancestor God had died after attempting a similar transcendence.

• Li Mu parasitized every mythological being on Primeval Blue Star with Thought Insects, then retrieved them and absorbed their true spirits to amplify his Primordial Ancient Thought roughly ninefold.
• Li Mu used the Fantasy Fire Candle and Primordial Heavenly Heart Flower to push his Primordial Heart Sense beyond the Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestor limit and see beyond the Desolate Void.

• Li Mu realized the Faith Ancestor God had sacrificed its believers to transcend the Desolate Void, but had been killed by the backlash and left behind a rejected Primordial Divine Spark.

Li Mu considered whether the Desolate Void had a world will and watched the Primeval Phoenix battle the Dimension Will. The Primeval Phoenix sacrificed the Fate Puppet to overpower its foe, then spent its life swallowing the Dimension Will and entered void nirvana as a blazing phoenix egg.

• Li Mu suspected the Desolate Void's world will had reincarnated as the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Ancestor and had created the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse.

After the Dimension Will gave birth to a phoenix egg and restored itself with a multicolored heart, Li Mu fled as the Dimension Will and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors headed toward the higher dimensions.

• The Primeval Phoenix used the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse to fuse the resentment of countless living beings into the Dimension Will, severely injuring and contaminating it.
• Li Mu attacked the weakened Dimension Will with Heavenly Punishment lightning and eight Spark White Tigers, then struck it with an elevated Black Goat Soul-Stinging Thorn.
• The Dimension Will became pregnant and gave birth to a phoenix egg, drawing away its good and evil avatars and losing one-third of its foundation.
• Li Mu sealed the phoenix egg inside the Star Emblem Sacred World and fled when the Dimension Will revealed a multicolored heart and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors warned him to retreat.
• The Dimension Will swallowed the heart and instantly healed, while Li Mu sensed that it had become emotionless and escaped into the Desolate Void.
• The Ancient Sacred Ancestors pursued Li Mu as spacetime storms gathered, and the Dimension Will left for the higher dimensions to seek resources from their destruction.

The Dimension Will reached the upper dimension and tried to weaken its world will, while Li Mu learned how the Desolate Void’s decline and the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse worked. As Li Mu and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors arrived, their spacetime storms merged into a colossal tower.

• The Dimension Will restored Primeval Phoenix’s wounds, then attacked the upper dimension’s barrier with its Super Main Cannons but found its strength greater than expected.
• Li Mu learned from the Ancient Sacred Ancestors that their use of the Desolate Void’s resources had worsened its decline and that a new world will had arisen after the Dimension Will reincarnated.
• Li Mu learned that the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse posed little danger unless cast too often, though repeated use could awaken the Desolate Void’s sleeping new world will.

• Li Mu and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors arrived, and their collapsing spacetime storms fused into a colossal tower surrounded by vortexes.

Li Mu discovered that the Ancient Sacred Ancestors had fused their Primordial True Names into a formidable weapon, but escaped after they shattered the name he had given them. The Dimension Will and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors fought in the Dimensional Origin Sea while Li Mu remained hidden, strengthened his reincarnated bodies, and investigated Primeval Blue Star’s secrets.

• Li Mu continued investigating Primeval Blue Star, convinced it held secrets connected to the Dimension Origin Seed and the Fate Sacred Ancestor’s plans.

Li Mu refined the Primordial Divine Spark into a Fire Seed Sacred Relic and learned that its faith-based powers could challenge a world will. He rapidly gathered believers and opened the All-Beings Divine Realm, then turned his attention to the surviving believers of the Faith Sacred Ancestor to increase his faith.

• Li Mu chose to give up the Desolate Void's favor of destiny and refined the Primordial Divine Spark in the Creation Star God Furnace.
• The Primordial Divine Spark became a Fire Seed Sacred Relic with five traits, including the All-Beings Divine Flame, the All-Beings Divine Realm, and All-Beings Divine Thought.
• Li Mu learned that the Faith Sacred Ancestor's All-Beings True Name endured through the spirituality and experiences of Its believers, and that several Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestors had transcended before It.
• Li Mu merged his Primordial Ancient Thought with the relic and ordered the Phoenix Apostle to preach throughout Phoenix City.
• Li Mu accelerated time across countless worlds, gathered enough faith to ignite the All-Beings Divine Flame, opened the All-Beings Divine Realm, and created species as innate believers.
• Li Mu set his sights on the fewer than ten surviving believers of the Faith Sacred Ancestor, who were Ancient Sacred Ancestors capable of providing vast faith.

Li Mu purified the resentment within the phoenix egg, turned it into faith, and hatched nine powerful Fireseed Faith Lifeforms. After using their Primordial Ancient Thoughts to strengthen his own, he began trying to fuse his All-Beings Divine Thought with his Primordial Ancient Thought.

• Li Mu traced the faith connections to the nine Ancient Sacred Ancestors but refrained from disturbing them while they fought the Dimension Will.
• Li Mu used the Black Goat's Soul-Stinging Thorn to split the phoenix egg into nine eggs and combined three flames to purify the resentment within them.

• Nine phoenixes hatched as Fireseed Faith Lifeforms, and their Primordial Ancient Thoughts greatly strengthened Li Mu's All-Beings Divine Thought and Primordial Ancient Thought.
• Li Mu sent the nine phoenixes to his nine reincarnated selves to raise as mounts, then began fusing his All-Beings Divine Thought with his Primordial Ancient Thought.

Li Mu fused the All-Beings Divine Thought with the Primordial Ancient Thought and used their transcendence to uncover the Primeval Blue Star’s connection to the Desolate Void. After his nine reincarnated incarnations became Two Pillar Sacred Ancestors, he began transforming the nine little phoenixes into biowarships.

• Li Mu used the All-Beings Divine Thought to create mythic plants, then fused it with the Primordial Ancient Thought and integrated believers’ true names into the Primordial Divine Spark.

• After 2.6 million perceptions, Li Mu discovered that the Primeval Blue Star had lost its Dimension Origin Seed and formed an inseverable connection with the Desolate Void.
• The nine reincarnated incarnations became Two Pillar Sacred Ancestors and planned to use the Spark Root to transform the nine little phoenixes into biowarships.
• Li Mu began transforming the nine little phoenixes so his incarnations could command a fleet of powerful Seedships.

Li Mu strengthened his Primordial Heart Sense and uncovered clues that the Desolate Void contained a Dimensional Origin Sea, where the Fate Sacred Ancestor might be hiding. He stopped investigating to focus on improving his strength, planning to develop a dream-based curse technique that could help him create a high-level curse technique in accelerated dreams.

• Li Mu integrated the Fate Root into his Primordial Heart Sense, increasing its limit-breaking transcendence from one ten-thousandth of a second to one hundredth of a second.
• Li Mu fused the Phoenix Root and other roots into the Primeval Blue Star, strengthening the Nirvana Divine Flame and speeding his recovery after using Primordial Heart Sense.
• Li Mu discovered that the Desolate Void was a Sacred World and that the Dimensional Origin Sea held the power gathered there; he suspected the Fate Sacred Ancestor was hiding within it.
• Li Mu abandoned his investigation because finding the truth would take too long and would not directly strengthen him before the conflict between the Dimension Will and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors was decided.
• Li Mu resolved to strengthen his Primordial True Name and create a high-level curse technique, beginning with a middle-level curse technique centered on the Dream Root.

Li Mu spent six million years creating the Primordial Heart Dream Curse, which let him envelop Primeval Blue Star in a dreamscape that could transform reality. Seeing the Dimension Will repeatedly heal itself with the Dimensional Origin Sea, he resolved to use accelerated time to develop a high-level curse, beginning by mastering the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse.

• Li Mu made Primordial Mirror Image the core of a dream curse and endured countless failed experiments while refining it.
• After six million years of work, Li Mu completed the Primordial Heart Dream Curse and used it to cover Primeval Blue Star with overlapping dream dimensions.
• Li Mu cast the curse over the Phoenix Sacred Hall, accelerating its time thirty millionfold, and projected his perception into the higher dimension.
• Li Mu observed that the Ancient Sacred Ancestors had lost hundreds of their number while the Dimension Will repeatedly healed itself with the Dimensional Origin Sea.
• Li Mu left a thought to monitor the battle and devoted his remaining consciousness to creating a high-level curse, starting by mastering the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse.

After spending twenty billion years in the dream dimension mastering the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse, Li Mu began developing a true high-level curse while his allies strengthened Phoenix City and the Star Emblem Sacred World. In reality, the upper dimension neared collapse, and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors prepared to escape the Desolate Void as they and the Dimension Will agreed to pause their war.

• Li Mu and his nine reincarnated selves spent nearly twenty billion dream years mastering the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse and learned that high-level curses depended on Primordial True Speech reaching beyond dimensions.

• Rei Ayanami and the other Primeval Life beings joined Gaia in managing Phoenix City, transferring much of its overcrowded population to the Star Emblem Sacred World and bringing Li Mu many believers.
• Two thousand years passed in reality as the upper dimension's Dimensional Origin Sea approached its end after the prolonged war between the Ancient Sacred Ancestors and the Dimension Will.
• The Ancient Sacred Ancestors prepared to sacrifice some of their number to escape the Desolate Void, while the Dimension Will and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors agreed to stop fighting until the upper dimension collapsed.

After sixty billion years of cultivation, Li Mu used the Dimensional Mirror Curse to seize and sacrifice nearly half of the collapsing upper dimension to his three realms. The upper dimension was devoured, but the Ancient Sacred Ancestors discovered that the new Dimension Will had vanished from its supposedly intact seal.

• Li Mu used the Dimensional Star Marker to create the Dimensional Mirror Curse and gain control over a mirror image covering nearly half the upper dimension.
• The Dimension Will and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors struck the Dimensional Origin Sea, shattering it as the upper dimension began to collapse.
• Li Mu cast the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse, sacrificing the mirrored region and nearly half the Dimensional Origin Sea to the Star Emblem Sacred World, the All-Beings Divine Realm, and the dream dimension.
• The Dimension Will and the Ancient Sacred Ancestors absorbed the collapsing upper dimension, but the expected counterattack from the new Dimension Will never came.
• The Ancient Sacred Ancestors inspected the intact seal and discovered that the new Dimension Will had disappeared from within it.

The Dimension Will explained to the Ancient Sacred Ancestor that the Fate Sacred Ancestor had helped the new Dimension Will escape and sought the Wordless Celestial Book in the Dimensional Origin Sea. The Dimension Will led the Ancient Sacred Ancestor toward the sea, with Li Mu joining them after being discovered.

• The Dimension Will concluded that someone had helped the new Dimension Will escape and identified the Fate Sacred Ancestor as the culprit.
• The Dimension Will revealed its history, explaining how it had become the Fate Sacred World’s Will and why it sought the Dimension Origin Seed.
• The Dimension Will told the Ancient Sacred Ancestor that the Fate Sacred Ancestor planned to seize the Wordless Celestial Book and use the new Dimension Will to find the Dimensional Origin Sea.
• The Dimension Will explained how to reach the Dimensional Origin Sea, and the Ancient Sacred Ancestor agreed to shelter inside its Sacred World during the journey.
• The Dimension Will discovered Li Mu nearby, and he dispelled his concealment and joined them.

Li Mu, Dimension Will, and Ancient Sacred Ancestor entered the Dimensional Origin Sea and found Fate Sacred Ancestor with a clone that looked exactly like Li Mu. The clone revealed itself as the new Dimension Will and struck them with the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse, leaving both sides in a stalemate across the sea.

• Dimension Will carried Li Mu and Ancient Sacred Ancestor through the folded dimensions to the Dimensional Origin Sea, where they saw the black-red flashes and the Source Power Heavenly Pillars.
• Li Mu used the Star Emblem Mirror Eye to spot Fate Sacred Ancestor and a figure resembling himself inside the sea, then identified the figure as a special clone.
• As the three approached, the clone used the Primeval Heaven Sacrifice Curse to blast away part of the Dimensional Origin Sea and severely injure Dimension Will and Ancient Sacred Ancestor.
• Li Mu recovered first with the Primordial Heart Dream Curse and tried to trap the clone, but the new Dimension Will teleported through the Dimensional Origin Sea.
• Li Mu, Dimension Will, and Ancient Sacred Ancestor abandoned their attacks and began preparing defenses as they faced the new Dimension Will across the sea.

The Fate Sacred Ancestor revealed His plan and invited Li Mu, the Dimension Will, and the Ancient Sacred Ancestor to help excavate the Lord of the Desolate Void’s grave. They agreed to a temporary truce secured by a contract through the Wordless Celestial Book, and Li Mu felt instinctive awe when the Fate Sacred Ancestor showed them its projection.

• The Fate Sacred Ancestor opened part of His Primordial True Name to reveal how He had pursued Ten Pillar status, found the Dimensional Origin Sea, and planned to use Li Mu to claim Primeval Blue Star.
• Li Mu examined the Fate Sacred Ancestor’s revealed Primordial True Name and found no forgery, though he warned that some details might be concealed.
• The Dimension Will and the Ancient Sacred Ancestor agreed with Li Mu to cooperate with the Fate Sacred Ancestor and excavate the Lord of the Desolate Void’s grave.
• The five Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestors agreed to a Wordless Celestial Book contract forbidding them from harming one another until they found a path to Ten Pillar status.
• The Dimension Will opened a passage through the Dimensional Origin Sea, and the group approached the Fate Sacred Ancestor, who showed them a projection of the Wordless Celestial Book.

Li Mu and the other Nine Pillar Sacred Ancestors obtained Wordless Celestial Book projections and swore an oath of cooperation with Fate Sacred Ancestor and the New Dimension Will. After several hundred years of preparation, the New Dimension Will successfully refined the Eternal Life King Cauldron to help open the grave entrance.

• Li Mu, Ancient Sacred Ancestor, and the Dimension Will formed Wordless Celestial Book projections, sacrificing some of their Primordial Ancient Thought in the process.
• Li Mu discovered that his projection could preserve his Primordial True Names, resist other projections, and let him alter other beings’ fates.
• Fate Sacred Ancestor used the Wordless Celestial Book to bind the group with an oath, easing their immediate suspicions of one another.
• Fate Sacred Ancestor explained that the New Dimension Will would use the Eternal Life King Cauldron and the Dimensional Origin Sea to seal the black-red flashes and briefly open the grave entrance.
• After several hundred years of preparation, the New Dimension Will used one of his clones as a shell and successfully refined the Eternal Life King Cauldron.

Li Mu and his group entered a cave hidden behind the black-and-red flash and discovered it was a blood vessel within the Lord of the Desolate Void’s remains. After the Fate Sacred Ancestor killed a weak superdimensional lifeform, Li Mu detected countless stronger red threads approaching.

• The new Dimension Will used the Eternal Life King Cauldron to seal the black-and-red flash briefly, revealing a cave before the cauldron was damaged and recalled for repairs.
• Li Mu and his group entered the cave, endured scorching blood vapor, and found branching passages containing traces of an abandoned civilization.
• Li Mu detected a red thread approaching, but the Fate Sacred Ancestor and the others could not sense it until it struck the Fate Sacred Ancestor’s Sacred World.
• The Fate Sacred Ancestor identified the thread as a weak superdimensional lifeform and destroyed it, then warned that stronger ones could be dangerous.
• Li Mu sensed countless red threads rushing toward them and merging into cords as powerful as Primeval Life.

Li Mu and the others captured a powerful red rope and used Fate Sacred Ancestor’s higher spell to reveal that it was a Desolate Bloodthread Worm. Its history suggested the Lord of the Desolate Void might still be partly alive, and Li Mu suspected the Black-Red Flash was preventing his resurrection.

• Li Mu entered another branch and confirmed that red threads were present there, while a fused red rope approached Fate Sacred Ancestor’s group.
• Fate Sacred Ancestor froze the red rope in time, and the group used Primordial Heavenly Heart Flowers to perceive it before failing to control it.
• Fate Sacred Ancestor used the Wordless Celestial Book and Primordial True Speech to form the red rope’s Primordial True Name, impressing Dimension Will and Ancient Sacred Ancestor.
• Li Mu returned, and the group learned that the creature was a harmless Desolate Bloodthread Worm that could preserve fragments of its host’s Primordial True Name after death.
• Li Mu suspected that the Black-Red Flash had prevented the Lord of the Desolate Void from fully resurrecting.

Li Mu and the others discovered that the Desolate Bloodthread Worms carried a dangerous Black-Red Flash, which could threaten even Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestors. Returning to a worm-infested passage, Li Mu used the Primeval Nirvana Curse to transform a worm into a temporary avatar and exchange identities with it.

• A Desolate Bloodthread Worm ignited itself, reached Nine-Pillar Sacred Ancestor strength, and struck Li Mu with a Black-Red Flash that clung to Primeval Blue Star.
• The Fate Sacred Ancestor tested the flash by having a controlled worm swallow it and found that the corruption weakened its control over the worm.
• Li Mu and the others concluded that the worms had been corrupted by the flash and split up to capture worms before the Primordial Heavenly Heart Flower's effects faded.
• Li Mu returned to his passage and saw countless worms fuse into one with Five-Pillar Sacred Ancestor strength.
• Li Mu used the Primeval Nirvana Curse to turn the worm into a temporary avatar, transformed himself into a worm, and exchanged identities with the avatar.

Li Mu explored the blood-vessel maze and uncovered the history of the Blood Demon Clan, a people who guarded a blood river against the Desolate Bloodthread Worms. He entered their besieged Sacred World and trapped the Blood Demon Sacred Ancestor in a dream, leaving its real body exposed to danger.

• Li Mu left a substitute and the Star Emblem Sacred World at the fork, then explored deeper by following branches with the most Desolate Bloodthread Worms.
• Li Mu found recent ruins and used the Primeval Nirvana Curse to learn that the Blood Demon Clan had migrated along blood rivers whenever its Sacred Ancestor needed to refine their inherited Sacred World.
• Li Mu followed the Blood Demon Clan's retreat and found its living kingdom fighting the Desolate Bloodthread Worms beside a blood river.
• Li Mu entered the Blood Demon Sacred World through dream travel and frightened the Blood Demon Sacred Ancestor while disguised as a Desolate Bloodthread Worm.
• Li Mu used the Primordial Heart Dream Curse to draw the Blood Demon Sacred Ancestor's consciousness into the dream dimension, leaving its real body in danger.

Li Mu subdued the Blood Demon Sacred Ancestor and discovered that the Wordless Celestial Book projection had absorbed the Primordial True Names within the Blood Demon Sacred World. He followed the Blood Demon Sacred Ancestor to the Blood River to investigate the Blood Demon race’s origins and collect crystals that could counter the Desolate Bloodthread Worms.

• Li Mu used the Wordless Celestial Book projection to suppress the Blood Demon Sacred World’s Primordial True Names, then learned the Blood Demon Sacred Ancestor’s Primordial True Name and made him a believer.
• The projection absorbed the tens of thousands of Primordial True Names in the Blood Demon Sacred World, and Li Mu found that their power had appeared as black lines it could turn into Primordial True Speech.
• Li Mu suspected the Primordial True Names served as ink for the Wordless Celestial Book, but sealed the projection to guard against a possible trap by the Lord of the Desolate Void.
• Li Mu learned that the Blood Demon race was likely created as a weapon to resist the corrupted Desolate Bloodthread Worms and suspected the Lord of the Desolate Void had made it.
• The Blood Demon Sacred Ancestor led Li Mu to the Blood River, where Li Mu learned how the Blood Demon Jar rebirthed the dead and how Blood River Sacred Crystals came from the race’s eggshells.
• Li Mu prepared to investigate the underground sea of blood and gather Blood River Sacred Crystals for future encounters with the Desolate Bloodthread Worms and for trade.

Li Mu studied the Underground Blood Sea and discovered that the Blood Demons shared the Lord of the Desolate Void’s Primordial True Name, which allowed them to resurrect. He collected half the sea as a potential weapon against the Desolate Bloodthread Worm, while his companions’ separate explorations triggered a crisis along the Blood River and ended with them agreeing to explore independently.

• Li Mu used the Sky-Piercing Blood Vine and the Dream Dimension to investigate Blood Demon eggs in the Underground Blood Sea.
• Li Mu discovered that all Blood Demons were part of one lifeform because they shared the Lord of the Desolate Void’s Primordial True Name.
• Li Mu collected half of the Underground Blood Sea with the Blood Source Gourd, leaving the rest to sustain the Blood Demon race.
• Fate Sacred Ancestor and Dimension Will gained control of guardian civilizations, but Ancient Sacred Ancestor failed and destroyed one, leaving a Blood River tributary unguarded.
• The unguarded Blood River tributary ignited and forced Ancient Sacred Ancestor to another branch point, alerting the others to a major upheaval.
• Li Mu and the others decided to explore separately and return to a designated meeting place every hundred years.

After nearly a century exploring the Lord of the Desolate Void’s tomb, Li Mu answered the Ancient Sacred Ancestor’s distress signal and found them under attack by a Nine-Pillar Desolate Bloodthread Worm. He chose to exploit the Ancient Sacred Ancestors’ weakened state indirectly, activating the Primordial Divine Spark to restore the faith of nine believers among them.

• Li Mu’s Desolate Bloodthread Worm clone reached the Eight-Pillar level, and he learned it needed more accumulation to advance further.
• Li Mu received the Ancient Sacred Ancestor’s distress signal and followed the Primordial Star Marker projections toward them.
• Li Mu found the Ancient Sacred Ancestors besieged by Desolate Bloodthread Worms after their fused Nine-Pillar Sacred World dissolved, with many already dead.
• Li Mu discovered that a concealed Nine-Pillar Desolate Bloodthread Worm was launching deliberate sneak attacks and realized it had intelligence.
• Li Mu decided to use nine Ancient Sacred Ancestor believers to eliminate their weakened companions, while avoiding a direct violation of his oath to the Wordless Celestial Book.
• Li Mu activated the Primordial Divine Spark to reconnect the nine Ancient Sacred Ancestors to their lost faith.
