He then advanced the Phoenix to its first True Spirit Transformation, leaving it with permanently solidified Primeval Phoenix form and power capable of challenging a True Spirit Fifth Revolution opponent.

• Li Mu reached one-tenth trinity fusion, completing his first True Spirit Transformation and realizing that even his accelerated path to Primeval Life would take tens of thousands of years.

• Li Mu assessed that the Phoenix's damage and defense had reached True Spirit Third and Fourth Revolution, respectively, and that it could challenge a True Spirit Fifth Revolution opponent.

Li Mu completed his second True Spirit Transformation by fusing the Truth-Listener Lotus Mirror into his divine body, creating the Star Emblem Mirror Eye. He arrived at War Ancient City in response to the War Star Lord’s summons, where the War Star Lord recognized his new strength and changed plans from reprimanding him to recruiting him.

Li Mu attended a Star Alliance war council and learned that the War Star Lord planned to invade the new world using the War Ancient City. While secretly probing the Titan Star Lord’s memories, Li Mu grew suspicious of the Time Star Lord and saw an opportunity to undermine the Star Alliance’s leaders.

• The War Star Lord explained that the damaged Primordial Star Map could only be forced to teleport by gathering three thousand Star Lords, and that the Primeval Phoenix’s cry had signaled the upheaval foreseen by the Time Star Lord.
• Li Mu used the Star Emblem Mirror Eye to inspect the Titan Star Lord’s memories and learned that the Time Star Lord managed the Star Alliance and had earned the giants’ unwavering trust through supposedly infallible prophecies.
• The War Star Lord outlined an invasion plan: the Star Alliance would take the War Ancient City into the new world, hunt Mythical Rank Nine beings bound by karmic contracts, and prepare traps for Li Mu.
• The War Star Lord said a mysterious voice from the Abyss Well had called the new world an enormous sacrificial ritual, then gave Li Mu and the Flower Fairy limited control of the War Ancient City and asked them to strengthen its defenses.
• Li Mu and the Flower Fairy recognized that the War Star Lord still viewed them as combat assets, and planned to help devastate the Star Alliance before taking control from its disgraced leaders.

The War Ancient City entered the new world, where its Star Lords discovered that the Law Skynet could empower its Mythics and might be part of the dimensional will’s plan to revive. Li Mu concluded that the dimensional will was close to revival but remained unsure what contingency the Primeval Phoenix had prepared.

• Three thousand Star Lords used source power to send the War Ancient City into the new world, where its defenders began adapting to the Law Skynet.
• The Star Lords learned that the Law Skynet could empower ninth-level Mythics and feared a sacrificial battle that could destroy both sides.
• Li Mu sent Spark Clones to the Abyssal Ruin and the Abyss Cosmic Sea as he grew convinced that the dimensional will was nearing revival.
• Li Mu used the Celestial Book to probe the Law Skynet and found that its vast, troubled spirituality could potentially be purified into Primordial Spiritual Light.
• Li Mu suspected the Law Skynet was the dimensional will’s contingency, but he could not determine how the Primeval Phoenix might revive.

Li Mu merged two Netherworld Caverns into the Mirror Dimension, strengthening its underworld but destabilizing ancient seals across the Abyss. The Primordial Ancient Devil escaped its seal and entered the Eternal Heaven Realm, while a colossal hand seized it and the Primordial Ancient Demon began to rise.

• Li Mu merged two Netherworld Caverns, giving the Mirror Dimension seven Dimension Root Fragments and enabling its underworld to create powerful Netherworld Cavern projections.
• In the Abyssal Ruin, the weakened seal began to fail, but the City of Original Sin reinforced it and started sealing the Primeval Phoenix back into its egg.
• The Primeval Phoenix sent consciousness contamination through the four remaining Netherworld Caverns, awakening the Abyss Will and causing four black smoke columns to rise.
• Li Mu sensed the contamination and traced its likely source to the Abyssal Ruin as the weakened seal of the Primordial Ancient Devil's incarnation broke.
• The Primordial Ancient Devil incarnation purified its contamination, crossed into the Eternal Heaven Realm, and was seized by a colossal hand rising from the earth.
• The Primordial Ancient Demon in the Outer Abyss began to sit up, throwing the surrounding land and Abyss Mother River into chaos.

Li Mu absorbed the Primordial Ancient Devil’s Primeval Star Emblem and inherited its memories, learning how the Primeval Phoenix and the dimensional will had fought over the fate of the Primeval Life forms. He concluded that their conflict was still unfolding through resurrection, while the reincarnated Primordial Ancient Demons posed another danger, and resolved to focus on becoming Primeval Life.

• The Primordial Ancient Devil’s Primeval Star Emblem entered Li Mu’s Starlight World and was consumed after the Primordial Spark fused with his own emblem.
• Li Mu received the Primordial Ancient Devil’s inheritance and memory fragments, which revealed that the Primeval Phoenix had betrayed the Primordial Ancient Demons and forced three giants to reincarnate.
• Li Mu learned that the Primeval Phoenix had exchanged bodies with the dimensional will, dividing its true spirit and sealing the pieces in separate places.
• Li Mu inferred that the Primeval Phoenix was reviving through the New World while the dimensional will was reviving inside the Primeval Phoenix’s hull.
• Li Mu recognized that three reincarnated Primordial Ancient Demons remained a threat and decided to strengthen himself until he could become Primeval Life.

Li Mu used the Womb Transformation Spell to create two Mythical Level Nine avatars and fused the Primordial Shadow Pill Artifact into his brain, raising his cultivation and control of the Celestial Book System. After glimpsing the Primeval Phoenix’s cracked egg deep in the law network, he considered raiding War Ancient City while the Star Lords were still adapting to the new laws.

• Li Mu transformed the Primordial Heaven-Reaching Tree into a Mythical Level Nine avatar with the Womb Transformation Spell, then created a second avatar from the Primeval Parasol Tree.
• Li Mu fused the Primordial Shadow Pill Artifact into his brain, increasing his trinity fusion to thirty percent and improving his ability to use the Celestial Book System.
• Li Mu entered the law network and saw the cracked phoenix egg, confirming that the Primeval Phoenix was using the new world to undergo Nirvana.
• Li Mu left the Mirror Dimension for War Ancient City and considered leading a raid while the Star Lords were still adapting to the law network.

Li Mu confided in the Flower Fairy about the danger posed by the Primeval Phoenix and the dimensional will, then traveled to the City of Original Sin to investigate the mysterious voice. He discovered the city was helping seal the phoenix egg and awakened a gravekeeper hidden in a void coffin.

• Li Mu visited the Flower Fairy, explained his fears, and asked her to cover for him while he investigated the abyss.
• The Flower Fairy agreed to support Li Mu, and he gave her a source-level Disguise Talent before departing for an Abyss Well.
• Li Mu reached the City of Original Sin and used a Mythical Level 9 Mirror Demon clone to see through its defenses.
• Li Mu saw coffins chained around a cracked phoenix egg and concluded the city was a contingency meant to strengthen the seal.
• Li Mu used the Primordial System to identify a True Spirit Seventh Revolution gravekeeper in a void coffin, then ignited Nirvana Divine Flame to wake it.

Li Mu defeated the Gravekeeper and uncovered its memories, learning how it became the Warden and why it guarded the Abyssal Ruin. The Gravekeeper’s memories offered few clues about the other Primordial Ancient Demon giants, revealing only the Origins they controlled and their ability to disguise themselves.

• The Gravekeeper trapped Li Mu in the Starlight World, but released him after recognizing his Primeval Phoenix bloodline and realizing it could not take his body.
• Li Mu used the Great Five Elements Samsara Divine Light to destroy the Gravekeeper’s body, captured its head in the Mirror Dimension, and suppressed it with the Karmic Fire Red Lotus.
• Li Mu probed the Gravekeeper’s damaged true spirit and learned that it was a reincarnated Primordial Ancient Demon enslaved by the Primeval Phoenix, later made Warden of the Eternal Heaven Realm.
• The Gravekeeper’s memories revealed that it had fled to the Abyssal Ruin after losing a war against the Abyss Will and had been forced to reinforce the Void Coffin’s seal.
• Li Mu found scant clues about the other two giants: one controlled the Origin of Time, the other the Origin of Life, and both could disguise themselves as any kind of existence.

Li Mu investigated the shopkeeper’s memories and discovered that Emperor Heart had orchestrated Flower Fairy’s relationship with him, leading him to suspect she was the reincarnation of the Primordial Ancient Demon who controlled Wood Origin. He tested his theory by giving Flower Fairy Primordial Ancient Demon source bloodline, triggering a painful transformation that he helped stabilize.

• Li Mu disguised himself as Emperor Heart, convinced the shopkeeper of his identity, and stole the shopkeeper’s True Spirit memories with the Star Emblem Mirror Eye.
• Li Mu learned that Emperor Heart had ordered the shopkeeper to drive Flower Fairy into danger so he could rescue her, and suspected Flower Fairy was the Wood Origin giant.
• Li Mu visited Flower Fairy and branded her with the Primeval Star Emblem, then pressed Primordial Ancient Demon source bloodline onto her brow.
• Flower Fairy absorbed the source bloodline, suffered intense pain as her bloodline transformed, and began to condense a Primeval Star Emblem.
• Li Mu poured Primordial Spiritual Light into Flower Fairy and used the Five Elements Root to suppress her Wood Root until her transformation stabilized.

After the Flower Fairy completed her transformation, Li Mu deduced that Emperor Heart had brought them together to counter the Primeval Phoenix’s claim to the Roots he possessed. As Li Mu and the Flower Fairy cultivated to strengthen their shared Roots, the Abyss Will awakened and Abyss species began entering the New World.

• The Flower Fairy awakened and explained that her father had saved a sliver of her true spirit after the Primeval Phoenix, Dimension Will, and a fallen Primordial Ancient Devil caused her death.
• Li Mu reasoned that Emperor Heart had arranged for him and the Flower Fairy to join forces, potentially making it harder for the Primeval Phoenix to reclaim the Five Elements Root.
• Li Mu and the Flower Fairy used their complementary Roots and clones to accelerate their cultivation toward the fourth True Spirit Reincarnation.
• The War Star Lord summoned the Star Lords to prepare for war against the Mythical Level Nine beings of the New World.
• Li Mu detected that the Abyss Will had awakened when his Primordial Star Map could no longer observe the Abyss Netherworld.
• Abyss rifts opened between the Abyss Netherworld and the New World, allowing countless Abyss species to enter.

An Abyssal invasion threatened to corrupt the new world, prompting the Star Lords to target the rifts. Li Mu secretly negotiated with the Abyss Will, trading the Abyss Root for valuable Root fragments and a portion of the Spark Root, while intending to delay the Primeval Phoenix’s resurrection.

• The Abyssal rift opened, and the new world’s laws formed a net whose Nirvana Divine Flame absorbed the spreading Abyssal source power as the Abyss Will began corrupting the laws.
• The Time Star Lord urged the Star Lords to destroy the rifts after explaining that the Abyss Will could use the corrupted laws to descend; Li Mu recognized that the Time Star Lord knew more than he admitted.
• Li Mu traveled alone to an Abyssal rift and negotiated with the Abyss Will, securing twenty percent of the Spark Root, ten Dimension Root Fragments, and half of the Abyssal Demon Codex in exchange for the Abyss Root.
• A few days later, Li Mu stripped the Abyss Root from the Phoenix and completed the exchange, accepting that empowering the Abyss Will could delay the Primeval Phoenix’s resurrection.

Li Mu reorganized the Mirror Dimension, turning the Netherworld into a powerful prison and accelerating his cultivation, then joined the Star Alliance’s war against the Spark Alliance. The Time Star Lord and seven allies secretly prepared to ambush Li Mu, hoping to lure him into their trap.

• Li Mu separated the Dimension Root Fragments from the Mirror Dimension and fused them into the Netherworld, gaining a prison capable of suppressing True Spirit Ninth Transformation experts and raising his cultivation efficiency to two hundred times.
• Li Mu worried that he would not reach the strength needed to survive the Primeval Phoenix’s revival, which was expected within twenty thousand years.
• The Star Alliance abandoned efforts to stop the abyssal rifts and prepared to wage war against the Spark Alliance, dividing its forces into 309 teams.
• Li Mu left the War Ancient City alone, suspecting the Time Star Lord and other Star Alliance leaders would secretly band together to ambush him.
• Time Star Lord, War Star Lord, and six other figures gathered far from the city; Time Star Lord explained that he would use his prophecies to identify vulnerable squads and draw Li Mu out.

Li Mu used a decoy and a coordinated ambush to kill three Star Lord squads, forcing the Star Alliance to abandon its lightning war against the Spark Alliance. As the conflict became a protracted one, Li Mu discovered that rescued councilors exposed to Abyss source power were escaping their karmic contracts and disappearing, apparently defecting to the Abyss Will.

• Li Mu sent his Mirror Demon avatar and the Asura King’s councilors to ambush a Star Lord squad while his true body lured the War Star Lord and the other giants away.
• The Mirror Demon avatar trapped and destroyed the squad of ten Star Lords with the Sky-Piercing Blood River Grand Formation and coordinated attacks.
• Li Mu’s forces killed two more Star Lord squads, prompting the War Star Lord to recognize the danger and Li Mu to order his avatar’s retreat.
• Li Mu waged guerrilla warfare for several days, forcing the Star Alliance to keep its forces close together and abandon its lightning war.
• Li Mu discovered that rescued Spark Alliance councilors who had encountered Abyss source power were breaking free of their karmic contracts and vanishing.

Immortal Stone Crystal was transformed into an Abyss puppet as the weakened Abyss Will continued recruiting level-nine Myths. Li Mu arrived outside the Abyss Sea to find the dimensional will’s sealed benevolent side and claim the Dimension Root Fragment.

• Immortal Stone Crystal accepted the Abyss Will’s offer to remove his karmic contract, but the Abyss faction’s surgery altered his body, soul, and memories until he became a puppet.
• The Abyss Will counted Immortal Stone Crystal as its 1,621st puppet and left the Abyss Sea to deceive more level-nine Myths, despite the karma weakening it.
• Li Mu entered a Mirror Realm dimension outside the Abyss Sea after the Primordial System generated a quest to find the dimensional will’s sealed benevolent will.
• Li Mu concluded that the benevolent will could be persuaded to transfer ownership of the Dimension Root Fragment to him.

Li Mu entered the Abyss Netherworld’s origin sea while Abyss Will was away and discovered that its energy was being drained to fuel Abyss Will’s plans. He fought through Abyss Will’s defenses, reclaimed the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm, and began undoing its seal on the dimensional consciousness’s benevolent will.

• Li Mu descended into the Abyss Netherworld and found that its origin sea was being rapidly depleted, apparently to strengthen Abyss Will and aid its plan against the Primeval Phoenix.
• Li Mu used the Blood Source Gourd and the Sky-Piercing Blood River array to absorb energy from the origin sea while his true body charged deeper into it.
• Abyss Will’s consciousness avatar attacked Li Mu with forces equivalent to hundreds of Mythical Rank Nines after he demanded the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm.
• Li Mu endured the assault, reached the origin sea’s core, and broke its Phoenix True Speech seal with nineteen strikes of the Great Five Elements Samsara Divine Light.
• Li Mu recovered the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm and began restoring it and breaking its seal on the dimensional consciousness’s benevolent will.

Li Mu seized the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm and learned how it transformed benevolent and evil Primordial Spiritual Light, sealed true spirits, and aided cultivation. Inside its core, he met the Dimension Will’s benevolent half, who agreed to transfer the Dimension Root Fragments to him so he could weaken her evil half.

• Li Mu severed the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm’s connection to the Abyss Origin Sea, sealed it with the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, and escaped using the Primordial Star Map.
• The Abyss Will completed a karmic contract in the New World, realized Li Mu had taken the artifact, and chose to continue its plans while becoming more wary of him.
• Li Mu studied and refined the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm, learning its abilities and that the Abyss Will had sent the Abyss Cosmic Sea to the Abyssal Ruin to pollute the City of Original Sin and its void hanging coffins.
• Li Mu entered the artifact’s core and met the Dimension Will’s benevolent half, who fed the island’s animals with her own flesh.
• Li Mu asked the Dimension Will to transfer the final ownership of his Dimension Root Fragments to him, and she agreed to help him weaken her evil half.

Li Mu transformed the Nightmare Root into Nightmare Law Roots and fused them with Starlight World, greatly strengthening the Mirror Dimension during seventeen thousand years of secluded cultivation. After returning to the changed New World, he prepared to hunt Mythical beings from the Eternal Heaven Realm.

• Li Mu discovered how Law Roots refined Roots and learned that erasing a Primeval Lifeform's true name required destroying its spirit, soul, body, and Root.
• Li Mu failed to transform the Five Elements Root and Auspicious Root, but successfully transformed the Nightmare Root and planned to develop its power with the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm.
• Li Mu moved seventeen Dimension Law Roots to Starlight World, increasing its time acceleration, then spent seventeen thousand years transforming Nightmare Roots and fusing them with the world.
• The fusion strengthened the Mirror Dimension's ability to replicate living beings and draw their souls and consciousness into mirror dreams, while Li Mu created a powerful new Nightmare Root spell.
• During Li Mu's seclusion, the Star Alliance resumed hunting Mythical Rank Nine beings and clashed with Spark Alliance and Eternal Heaven Realm Mythical beings.
• Li Mu decided to hunt Eternal Heaven Realm Mythical beings who were not Star Lords.

Li Mu secretly spread nightmare-cursed True Spirit Crystals among the Star Alliance’s Mythics, marking more than two million of them before suspicion halted the scheme. He prepared to use the resulting mass of marked Mythics to devastate the Star Alliance and enable the Spark Alliance to counterattack War Ancient City.

• Hicks discovered a vein of True Spirit Crystals and fled from pursuing Star Alliance Mythics to War Ancient City.
• Hicks secretly sold the crystals to hundreds of thousands of low-level Mythics, who returned home to refine them.
• Li Mu used the Spirit Embryo Burial Realm and Mirror Dimension to create True Spirit Crystals containing nightmare marks that fused into the refiners’ true spirits.
• Li Mu continued marking Mythics as more supposed crystal veins appeared, but Star Lords investigated and suspicion made Mythics stop refining their crystals.
• Li Mu ended the scheme after marking more than two million Mythics, intending to use them to weaken the Star Alliance so the Spark Alliance could counterattack War Ancient City.

Li Mu prepared to seize the Warden’s Spatial Root while using the Nightmare Spell to capture Mythics and strengthen his power. The Time Star Lord began rescuing victims, while Li Mu planned to use the Star Alliance to drive the Spark Alliance into desperation and bind its Mythics to him.

• The Time Star Lord discovered that Root power had hidden the True Spirit Crystal calamity from his prophecies and suspected the Abyss Will was behind it.
• Li Mu stopped delivering True Spirit Crystals and focused on preparing to strip the Spatial Root from the imprisoned Warden by eroding his True Spirit memories with the Nightmare Spell.
• The Time Star Lord reversed time to rescue Mythics from the Nightmare Spell and cured several hundred of them.
• Li Mu pulled more Mythics' True Spirits into the Starlight World through Nightmare Marks, leaving their lives in his hands.
• Li Mu chose not to save the Spark Alliance's captive councilors, intending to make the Star Alliance push the Spark Alliance into desperation and turn its Mythics into his believers.
