Chapter Summaries

Li Mu consumed an Eternal Life Sacred Pill into Greedy Stomach and used the Eternal Life King Cauldron to collect most of the Black Mist Abyss. After surveying the desolate upper dimension, he headed for the Emerald Dreamland forbidden zone in search of a path to Seven-Pillar Sacred Ancestor.

• Li Mu swallowed the Eternal Life Sacred Pill with Greedy Stomach but postponed digesting it until he had strengthened his small dimension.
• Li Mu merged the Eternal Life King Cauldron into the Star Emblem Sacred World and absorbed ninety percent of the Black Mist Abyss’s black mist.
• Li Mu left the remaining black mist alone after discovering six trapped Primeval Life forms, including five Six-Pillar Sacred Ancestors.
• Li Mu surveyed the upper dimension for several years and found no Primeval-level resources or conventional route to becoming a Seven-Pillar Sacred Ancestor.
• Li Mu traveled to the Emerald Dreamland forbidden zone after researching the upper dimension’s five major forbidden zones.

Li Mu entered the Emerald Dreamland to investigate its secrets, but his Nightmare Root awakened the sealed red spider lily and provoked the Emerald Spirits. He suppressed their connection to the dreamland and began killing them, while the primordial sacred artifact sealing the red spider lily remained undiscovered.

• Li Mu used the Star Emblem Sacred World and Eternal Life King Cauldron to enter the Emerald Dreamland, where his Nightmare Root let him explore its dreamlike terrain.
• Li Mu's Nightmare Root stirred the Emerald Dreamland and drew out the sealed Primordial Divine Body of a red spider lily.
• Li Mu realized a primordial sacred artifact sealed the Emerald Dreamland and the red spider lily, then withdrew his Nightmare Root, allowing the spider lily to fade back into dormancy.
• The provoked Emerald Spirits surrounded Li Mu and unleashed dream-based curses ranging from One-Pillar to Six-Pillar Sacred Ancestor strength.
• Li Mu used his half-step Nine-Pillar Sacred World to suppress the Emerald Spirits' access to the Emerald Dreamland's power, then deployed the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands Immortal-Slaying Tower to kill them.

Li Mu faced the Emerald Dreamland’s counterattack by engaging fifteen empowered Emerald Spirits, hoping to trace their world power to the Dreamland’s core. He discovered that the spirits could turn physical damage into dreamlike nothingness, so he resolved to modify his attacks to target their True Spirits and consciousness.

• Li Mu collected the Emerald Spirit corpses as more than a dozen spirits infused with the Emerald Dreamland’s world power appeared, some reaching Six-Pillar Sacred Ancestor strength.
• Li Mu chose to attack rather than stall, aiming to trace the spirits’ power back to the Emerald Dreamland’s Origin Sea, Source Power Heavenly Pillar, and primordial sacred artifact.
• Li Mu transformed into the Phoenix and used mirror doubles to confuse the spirits while Phoenix City and the Star Emblem Sacred World provided defense.
• Fifteen Emerald Spirits formed a battle formation and resisted Li Mu’s attacks, then chanted a primordial curse that began to decay his mind and body.
• Li Mu discovered that the Emerald Spirits had erased their injuries by turning them into dreams, and concluded that he needed to attack their True Spirits and consciousness.

Li Mu defeated most of the Emerald Spirits but was badly wounded by their counterattacks. The last Emerald Spirit trapped his consciousness in a dream, and Li Mu chose to stop resisting and sink into it.

• Li Mu enhanced his three Super Main Cannons with Roots, exiled six Emerald Spirits, transformed nine others into animals, and destroyed them with Source Matter Missiles.
• Li Mu absorbed the fallen Emerald Spirits' power and disguised himself as one, but the Emerald Dreamland did not acknowledge the disguise.
• Li Mu killed one of the returning Emerald Spirits with a river of money and a source-energy lightsaber, then survived another's copied Cosmic Throw as that Emerald Spirit dissipated.
• Four Emerald Spirits attacked Li Mu and his clones with Cosmic Throw; Li Mu endured the damage with the Reincarnation Sacred Seal and a cycle of destruction and healing.
• The final Emerald Spirit used a Primordial Divine Spell to shatter Li Mu's defenses against mental attacks and pull his consciousness into a dream, where Li Mu chose to surrender to it.

The Primeval Phoenixes began their final nirvana in the New World while the Dimension Will prepared to reunite its benevolent and malevolent thoughts and trap Li Mu. In the Upper Dimension, Li Mu’s Star Emblem Sacred World devoured the Emerald Dreamland and its sealing relic, revealing the Phoenixes’ plan to the Dimension Will too late to stop them.

• Three thousand Primeval Phoenixes awakened in the New World, merged their Nirvana Divine Flames, and began their final rebirth as a spreading void devoured the world.
• The Dimension Will’s Benevolent Thought decided to reunite with its malevolent thought, sent the Outer Abyss toward the dimensional rift, and sealed the route between the Lower and Upper Dimensions.
• The Dimension Will’s Benevolent Thought suspected the Primeval Phoenixes had altered Li Mu’s destiny but could not determine how, and concluded he would remain trapped in the Upper Dimension.
• The Red Spider Lily attacked Li Mu in the Emerald Dreamland, but his Star Emblem Sacred World absorbed its tentacles and consumed the entire forbidden ground.
• The translucent light skull that had sealed the Emerald Dreamland entered the Star Emblem Sacred World and accepted its confinement.
• The Dimension Will’s benevolent and malevolent thoughts learned the Primeval Phoenixes’ true intention and hurried to break their seal and destroy them.

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 began preparations to become a Seven-Pillar Sacred Ancestor by merging Roots and resources into his small dimension and using Sacred Blood to catalyze new Roots.
• 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.
