Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• A crimson-gold token delivers a message from Qian Bao, a Transcender and disciple of Qian Origin Divine Mountain. Gray Valley realizes that Qian Bao is the mysterious figure known as Pan, ranked ninth on the Heavenly Ladder Rankings.
• Qian Bao invites Li Yue, the newly established ruler of the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage, to visit Qian Origin Divine Mountain, promising an “immense piece of good fortune.”
• Gray Valley identifies Qian Bao as being in the First Transcendence Realm, though likely far stronger at his peak. Like Gray Valley and Qinggu, Qian Bao appears to be severely injured and unable to fully recover.
• Li Yue and Gray Valley speculate that Qian Origin Lineage may want to establish an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage or exchange the promised opportunity for Li Yue’s future assistance. However, Li Yue remains wary of their true intentions.
• Because Qian Origin Divine Mountain is extremely dangerous and may suppress powerful beings, Li Yue decides that his true body will remain within Azure Cloud Ultimate Dao Mountain, the Azure Cloud Lineage’s surviving Third Transcendence Realm treasure. Only an avatar will travel to Qian Origin Divine Mountain after his Divine Rank advancement is complete.
• In the deepest reaches of Endless Darkness, a sealed, evil entity with dark-purple eyes awakens. Claiming to be a minor servant of the Great Evil God, it becomes obsessed with consuming the many Taboo Lives gathered outside.
• The entity’s whispers generate countless bizarre, distorted creatures that rush toward the Three Thousand Dimensions. Other Fallen Lives awaken and add their own madness, suggesting that a major outbreak of evil and corruption may be imminent.
• Meanwhile, in the Dimension of Myriad Daos, Li Yue completes his metamorphosis and advances to the High-grade Taboo Divine Rank, greatly increasing his strength.

• Gray Valley demonstrates his knowledge of Transcenders and the relative strength of Qian Bao. He also reinforces his loyalty and protective role toward Li Yue.
• Qian Bao/Pan is revealed to possess connections to Qian Origin Divine Mountain, clarifying part of his mysterious background.
• The unnamed dark-purple-eyed entity is portrayed as violently insane, gluttonous, and subordinate to the Great Evil God, but still dangerous enough to unleash vast numbers of corrupted creatures.

Significant Themes

• Power and caution: Greater strength and authority attract both opportunities and threats, requiring Li Yue to balance ambition with self-protection.
• Political alliances and hidden motives: Qian Origin Lineage’s invitation may be an attempt to gain Li Yue’s future support, emphasizing that cooperation among powerful factions is rarely without ulterior motives.
• Ancient destruction and survival: The weakened state of multiple Transcenders and the near-collapse of their lineages reflect the devastation of the wider cosmos.
• Corruption and spreading evil: The Endless Darkness scenes introduce the threat of madness, distortion, and predatory evil spreading into the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• Advancement and transformation: Li Yue’s completion of his Divine Rank metamorphosis marks a major escalation in his capabilities and prepares him for future conflicts.

Character Interactions

• Qian Bao and Gray Valley: Qian Bao addresses Gray Valley as a fellow Transcender through the token, while Gray Valley identifies his origins and assesses his condition.
• Li Yue and Gray Valley: They discuss Qian Origin Divine Mountain’s motives, the dangers of visiting it, and the safest way to respond. Gray Valley advises that the invitation may be a goodwill gesture or a request for future cooperation.
• The Fallen Lives and the dark-purple-eyed entity: Their interaction is hostile and chaotic, with the entity’s whispers creating monsters while other Fallen Lives threaten and mock it.
• Li Yue and the wider factions: Though Qian Bao does not meet Li Yue directly, his invitation establishes a potential alliance—or confrontation—between the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage and Qian Origin Lineage.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Fourth Divine Path Slaughter Formation is revealed to contain 4,800 Taboo Lives as formation nodes, with Li Youming serving as its Host.
• Li Yue arrives, prompting Li Youming and all the Taboo Lives to kneel and address him as the God Lord.
• Trapped inside the formation, Tianxiu King realizes Li Yue is the Divine Path Leader he came to kill for the First Dimension’s Supreme Grade bounty.
• Tianxiu King is astonished by the formation’s scale, since even his own Heavenly Cultivation Domain contains fewer than 3,000 Taboo Lives.
• When Li Yue enters the formation, Tianxiu King attacks immediately with his strongest technique, the Half-step Transcendence-grade Life-and-Death World Grinding Disc.
• Li Yue activates Thousandfold Combat Power, raising himself from Ordinary Dimension-level strength to the peak of Top-tier Dimension-level.
• His six Origin Great Daos surge in power, with the Radiance and Soul Origin Great Daos temporarily fusing into a stronger Origin Fusion Great Dao.
• With a casual command, “Deprive,” Li Yue destroys Tianxiu King’s ultimate secret art.
• With “Suppress,” he immobilizes Tianxiu King’s body, divine soul, and will through overwhelming radiance and soul power.
• Li Yue reveals that Tianzhi King has already submitted to him and offers Tianxiu King the choice between submission and death.
• The chapter ends with Li Yue recognizing that he has reached the summit of the Three Thousand Dimensions, though his divine body still limits how much power he can safely unleash.

Character Developments

• Li Yue demonstrates a dramatic increase in strength after his advancement. Although he outwardly appears to be only High Creation-grade, his true combat power reaches the peak of Top-tier Dimension-level when using Thousandfold Combat Power.
• He gains greater control over his Origin Great Daos, temporarily fusing the Radiance and Soul Origin Great Daos.
• Li Yue remains calm, dominant, and confident, easily crushing Tianxiu King’s strongest attack and treating submission as the only alternative to death.
• Tianxiu King changes from an arrogant hunter expecting to claim the bounty into a terrified and helpless captive. He realizes that Li Yue is far stronger than his apparent cultivation suggests.
• Li Yue’s internal reflection reveals a limitation: combining Thousandfold Combat Power with the Seal of Dao Origin would overwhelm and destroy his current divine body.
• Li Youming and the Taboo Lives show absolute devotion to Li Yue by kneeling and reverently acknowledging him as their God Lord.
• Tianzhi King’s prior submission establishes Li Yue’s growing authority over powerful Dimension-level beings.

Significant Themes

• Hidden strength and deceptive appearances: Li Yue’s High Creation-grade cultivation conceals combat power vastly beyond what others expect.
• Absolute dominance: The battle emphasizes the overwhelming gap between Li Yue and Tianxiu King, as a Half-step Transcendence-grade technique is destroyed effortlessly.
• Power and its limitations: Although Li Yue has reached extraordinary heights, his physical divine body cannot yet endure the simultaneous use of his strongest abilities.
• Submission versus death: Li Yue’s expanding influence is shown through his ability to force powerful enemies to choose between serving him and being destroyed.
• Loyalty and hierarchy: The reverence of the 4,800 Taboo Lives highlights Li Yue’s position as the supreme leader of the formation and his growing dominion.

Character Interactions

• Li Youming and the Taboo Lives → Li Yue: They kneel and greet him with fervent devotion.
• Tianxiu King → Li Yue: Initially eager to attack and suppress him, Tianxiu King becomes shocked, frightened, and unable to resist.
• Li Yue → Tianxiu King: Li Yue effortlessly defeats him, identifies himself as the Divine Path Leader, and demands that he either submit or die.
• Li Yue → Tianzhi King: Li Yue mentions Tianzhi King’s existing submission, using it to pressure Tianxiu King into surrendering.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue reveals that Tianzhi King has already submitted to him, shocking Tianxiu King, who considers submission impossible for a proud Top-tier Dimension-level expert.
• Because Tianxiu King refuses to yield, Li Yue attacks him with ten streams of Sword Qi from the Second Transcendence Realm secret art Ultimate Thirteen Dao Swords.
• The attack nearly destroys Tianxiu King’s origin, eliminating nine-tenths of the essential power that allows him to revive. Terrified of true death, Tianxiu King immediately surrenders and pledges allegiance to Li Yue, calling himself Zhan Yu.
• Li Yue orders Gray Valley to accept Tianxiu King as a subordinate rather than kill him, recognizing the greater value of a High-grade Dimension-level servant.
• Gray Valley’s overwhelming aura reveals him to be the master of the Gray Valley Ark and an existence even stronger than Tianzhi King. Tianxiu King is horrified to realize how powerful the organization he has entered truly is.
• Tianxiu King is sent to the Gray Valley Ark, where he meets Tianzhi King. Tianzhi King repeatedly beats him—apparently improving his own Dao comprehension while also motivating Tianxiu King to work harder.
• Li Yue then reflects on the limitation of his current divine body. His strength and combat techniques have advanced faster than his body’s ability to withstand them, especially when combining Thousandfold Combat Power with the Seal of Dao Origin.
• He examines the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage’s inheritances and discovers that none of its Transcendence-grade secret arts specifically strengthen the physique. Most focus on combat techniques or cultivation methods instead.
• Li Yue turns his attention to Qian Origin Divine Mountain, suspecting that the Qian Origin Lineage may possess a secret art for directly increasing bodily strength.
• He also considers a possible connection between Pan and Pangu. Since Pangu possessed an extraordinarily powerful physique, Li Yue theorizes that Pan’s inheritance—and perhaps its origins in Qian Origin Divine Mountain—could provide the bodily cultivation method he needs.
• After completing his Divine Rank advancement, Li Yue enters the Third Transcendence Realm supreme treasure Azure Cloud Ultimate Dao Mountain and sends an avatar, carrying a crimson-gold token, toward Qian Origin Divine Mountain.

2. Character Developments

• Tianxiu King/Zhan Yu: His arrogance and refusal to submit collapse when Li Yue’s attack nearly annihilates him. He becomes a servant of Gray Valley and is forced to confront the enormous power of Li Yue’s faction. Despite his humiliation, his ongoing beatings from Tianzhi King apparently push him to cultivate more diligently.
• Li Yue: He demonstrates both overwhelming combat power and strategic pragmatism. Rather than killing Tianxiu King for merit, he subdues him to strengthen the Divine Path and the Seal of Dao Origin. He also recognizes a critical weakness in his own development: insufficient physical resilience.
• Gray Valley: His appearance establishes him as an exceptionally powerful Top-tier Dimension-level expert, superior to both Tianxiu King and Tianzhi King. He functions as Li Yue’s enforcer and administrator.
• Tianzhi King: His submission to Li Yue is confirmed, and his relationship with Tianxiu King becomes comedic and antagonistic. His repeated beatings of Tianxiu King also show his unusual method of encouraging cultivation.
• Pan and Pangu: Though absent from the events directly, they become increasingly important to Li Yue’s investigation into the origins of powerful physiques and possible Qian Origin Lineage inheritances.

3. Significant Themes

• Submission versus pride: Tianxiu King’s belief that he would “rather die standing than live kneeling” is overturned by the fear of genuine annihilation, showing the limits of pride when confronted with absolute power.
• Power through subjugation: Li Yue values powerful enemies more as servants than as corpses. The chapter emphasizes the strategic importance of accumulating Dimension-level subordinates.
• The gap between combat power and physical foundation: Li Yue’s techniques and external power have outpaced his body’s endurance, highlighting the need for a balanced cultivation path.
• The importance of specialized inheritances: General cultivation and combat secret arts are insufficient for Li Yue’s next stage; he specifically needs a physique-strengthening Transcendence secret art.
• Hidden connections and inheritance: The suspected relationship between Pan and Pangu suggests that ancient lineages and concealed inheritances may hold the key to Li Yue’s advancement.
• Humor amid overwhelming violence: Tianzhi King’s routine beatings of Tianxiu King provide comic relief while also reinforcing the brutal cultivation culture of the setting.

4. Character Interactions

• Li Yue and Tianxiu King: Their confrontation moves from defiance to complete submission after Li Yue demonstrates that he can nearly destroy Tianxiu King’s revival origin.
• Li Yue and Gray Valley: Li Yue entrusts Gray Valley with Tianxiu King, showing Gray Valley’s status as a trusted subordinate and his authority within the Divine Path.
• Gray Valley and Tianxiu King: Gray Valley intimidates Tianxiu King into opening his soul defenses and accepting servitude.
• Tianzhi King and Tianxiu King: Their meeting results in repeated beatings. The hostile treatment paradoxically benefits both kings’ cultivation and creates a darkly humorous dynamic.
• Li Yue and the wider lineages: Li Yue shifts his focus from the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage to the Qian Origin Lineage, beginning a new investigation that may lead to a physique-strengthening secret art.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue arrives at the entrance of the fragmented Qian Origin Divine Mountain, whose immense scale dwarfs even the Dao Sea Dimension.
• Fourteen Half-step Dimension-level cultivators wait outside for the mountain’s entrance to open. When Li Yue asks when the path will open, his mere glance terrifies them, revealing that they sense him as a Dimension-level existence.
• Although the entrance normally opens for only one breath every thirty days, Qian Bao personally summons Li Yue. A powerful purple lightning bridge emerges from the mountain and carries Li Yue through its protective barrier, the Ultimate Dao Divine Magnetic Light.
• The waiting cultivators are stunned by this special treatment and assume that an unprecedentedly powerful, possibly Half-step Transcendence-grade expert has appeared. They immediately flee to report Li Yue’s arrival to their respective factions.
• Inside the mountain, Li Yue meets Qian Bao, a powerful red-robed figure whose eyes contain Transcendence Fire and whose body possesses immense physical strength.
• Li Yue explains that his public entrance was intentional: he wanted to provoke the hidden powers of the Three Thousand Dimensions and determine which were allies or enemies.
• Qian Bao reveals the origin of Pangu. Pangu was created from a drop of essence blood left behind by Pan, a disciple of the Qian Origin Divine Mountain. Because Pangu’s foundation was so powerful, Fallen Life plotted against him, causing him to become a Creator. Pan later replicated Pangu to prevent his complete destruction.
• Qian Bao states that Li Yue therefore shares a karmic connection with the Qian Origin Divine Mountain through Pangu.
• The chapter concludes with Qian Bao making a serious request: he wants Li Yue to become the master of the Qian Origin Lineage.

Character Developments

• Li Yue: Demonstrates overwhelming power and composure. He deliberately uses his arrival to test the hidden forces in the Three Thousand Dimensions. He also learns that his connection to Pangu is deeper than previously understood.
• Qian Bao: Is established as an ancient and immensely powerful figure, likely possessing Transcendence-level strength. He is respectful toward Li Yue and recognizes his exceptional talent, especially after Li Yue passed the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Stairway.
• Pangu: His mysterious origins are clarified. He is revealed to have originated from Pan’s essence blood and to have been targeted by Fallen Life because of his extraordinary potential.
• Pan: Is shown to have protected Pangu by personally intervening and creating a replica after Pangu was endangered.
• Fallen Life: Its threat is emphasized as the enemy of all life in the Three Thousand Dimensions, seeking to plunge them into eternal depravity.

Significant Themes

• Hidden power and strategic provocation: Li Yue’s entrance is a calculated move to expose the powerful figures lurking behind the apparent calm of the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• Lineage and karmic inheritance: Pangu’s origin links Li Yue and his dimension to the Qian Origin Divine Mountain, suggesting that bloodlines, origins, and past connections shape present alliances.
• Recognition of exceptional talent: Qian Bao views Li Yue as a rare genius with the potential to reach the Fourth Transcendence Realm.
• The threat of Fallen Life: The chapter expands the larger conflict between the forces of life and Fallen Life, portraying the latter as a civilization-threatening enemy.
• Power and legitimacy: Qian Bao’s request suggests that Li Yue’s strength and potential may be needed to revive or lead the Qian Origin Lineage.

Character Interactions

• The waiting cultivators initially treat Li Yue as an unfamiliar outsider, but his terrifying presence instantly forces them to show respect and fear.
• Li Yue and Qian Bao engage in a calm but strategic exchange, with Li Yue explaining his motives and Qian Bao acknowledging the wisdom behind them.
• Qian Bao reveals the historical connection between Li Yue, Pangu, Pan, and the Qian Origin Lineage.
• Their meeting shifts from a discussion of lineage and history to a major political and personal proposition: Qian Bao asks Li Yue to assume leadership of the Qian Origin Lineage.

Chapter Summary: I’ll Take the Position of Qian Origin Lineage’s Master

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ming Yan learns that a living being was welcomed into Qian Origin Divine Mountain by a bridge of light. This alarms him because he had planned to seize two Peak Dimension-level Supreme Treasures inside the mountain.
• Suspecting that a terrifying Half-step Transcendence-level expert may have appeared, Ming Yan abandons his preparations and travels to a ruined palace in the Endless Darkness to seek guidance from a powerful “lord” connected to forces beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• Meanwhile, Qian Bao reveals to Li Yue that he did not summon him merely to establish a friendly relationship. He wants Li Yue to become the master of the Qian Origin Lineage.
• Qian Bao explains that the lineage has declined severely after falling into the Three Thousand Dimensions. Despite examining countless potential successors, they found no one capable of carrying the lineage into the future.
• Because of Li Yue’s extraordinary talent and his existing connection as master of the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage, Qian Bao believes he is the only suitable candidate.
• Qian Bao offers Li Yue complete authority over the Qian Origin Lineage, including its disciples, resources, treasures, and a Supreme Grade item with a faint possibility of advancing to the Fourth Transcendence Realm.

Character Developments

• Ming Yan becomes visibly anxious and cautious. His confidence in pursuing the treasures is shaken by the possibility that an ancient, far more powerful expert has emerged.
• Qian Bao demonstrates determination and desperation. He is unwilling to let the Qian Origin Lineage remain exiled and weakened, and he is prepared to entrust its entire future to Li Yue.
• Li Yue shows strategic maturity. He recognizes that becoming master of another fallen lineage will expose him to another terrifying enemy, but he prioritizes increasing his strength and resources over fear of future consequences. His ambition and confidence are reinforced when he declares that he is destined to become the Heavenly Emperor.

Significant Themes

• Responsibility and leadership: Taking command of the Qian Origin Lineage means accepting responsibility for its survival, restoration, and revenge.
• Risk versus opportunity: Li Yue must choose between avoiding additional enemies and gaining access to immense resources and powerful inheritance.
• Decline and revival: The Qian Origin Lineage’s fall from its former glory reflects the broader theme of lost power and the hope of rebuilding it.
• Ambition overcoming fear: Li Yue refuses to let the threat of powerful enemies limit his path toward transcendence.

• Li Yue and Qian Bao’s disciples: By accepting, Li Yue gains authority over the remaining twelve disciples of the Qian Origin Lineage, who are pledged to obey his commands.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• He presents Li Yue with the Qian Origin Scroll, the lineage’s supreme identity symbol. Whoever controls it can command all of the lineage’s resources and personnel.
• The succession ceremony is witnessed by thunderous manifestations across the Qian Origin Divine Mountain, symbolizing the approval of past ancestral leaders and the mountain itself.
• After accepting the scroll, Li Yue gains complete awareness of the Qian Origin Divine Mountain, including its treasures, facilities, inheritances, and material reserves.
• Li Yue discovers four major areas:
  • Heavenly Treasure Valley, containing enormous numbers of Dimension-level, Half-step Transcendence-grade, and twenty-two Transcendence-grade treasures.
  • Library Pavilion, holding vast inheritances and secret arts comparable to those of the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage.
  • Profound Refinement Sea, where disciples cultivate by refining powerful treasures.
  • Myriad Things Pavilion, which stores immense quantities of rare materials and nurtures additional resources.
• At the mountain’s core, Li Yue observes the Qian Origin Cauldron, an ancient supreme treasure containing traces of countless Origin Great Daos. It once possessed a faint possibility of advancing to the Fourth Transcendence Realm and was the reason the Qian Origin Lineage was exiled to the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• Li Yue officially becomes the leader of both the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage and the Qian Origin Lineage, giving him immense authority and resources.
• Qian Bao reveals that another Transcender remains within the lineage: Qiancheng, the son of the previous Leader and a Second Transcendence Realm expert. He has been sealed within the Qian Origin Cauldron to recover from severe injuries.
• Qian Bao explains that Qiancheng is a Dao fanatic who has no interest in leadership and has sworn to help restore the Qian Origin Lineage to its former glory.

• The chapter concludes with Li Yue independently exploring the Library Pavilion, signaling his intention to strengthen himself and lead the lineage through knowledge and inherited cultivation methods.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue enters the Library Pavilion and meets its spirit, Liao Zhi, who explains the pavilion’s structure:
  • First floor: 468 Half-step Transcendence-grade lifeforms containing complete inheritances.
  • Second floor: 415 First Transcendence Realm inheritances and secret arts, mostly focused on treasure refining and body refinement.
  • Third floor: 72 Second Transcendence Realm inheritances and secret arts left by former Qian Origin Lineage Masters.
  • Fourth floor: The lineage’s ultimate foundation—two Third Transcendence Realm inheritances and two Third Transcendence Realm secret arts.
• Liao Zhi introduces the four supreme techniques:

Heavenly Treasure Myriad Laws

Qian Origin Dao Canon

Qian Origin Eternal Body

Qian Origin Grand Luo Fist Seal

• Li Yue learns that the Qian Origin Eternal Body creates an extraordinarily powerful physical body, while the Grand Luo Fist Seal is ranked third in the Dao of the fist beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• The cultivation requirements are explained:
  • Heavenly Treasure Myriad Laws and Qian Origin Dao Canon require Transcendence.
  • Qian Origin Grand Luo Fist Seal also requires Transcendence.
  • Qian Origin Eternal Body can theoretically be cultivated by a Taboo Life, making it immediately relevant to Li Yue.
• Li Yue eagerly accepts the inheritance of Qian Origin Eternal Body and receives its cultivation information.
• However, he discovers that its requirements are extraordinarily demanding. The first level requires comprehension of all eighteen Origin Great Daos to at least seventy-nine percent, a condition nearly impossible even for Half-step Transcendence-grade beings.

Character Developments

• Li Yue gains access to one of the Qian Origin Lineage’s most valuable inheritances and becomes excited at the possibility of dramatically strengthening his physical body.
• His understanding of the Qian Origin Lineage expands, particularly regarding the immense power of its body-refinement and fist techniques.
• His confidence is tempered by surprise and frustration when he discovers that possessing the inheritance does not mean he can immediately cultivate it.
• Li Yue also begins suspecting that the fall of the Qian Origin and Azure Cloud Sea Lineages into the Three Thousand Dimensions may have been orchestrated, possibly by Emperor Lord Zhi or the mysterious force behind the Divine Path.

Significant Themes

• Power and inheritance: The Qian Origin Lineage’s strength rests on its carefully preserved supreme techniques and accumulated legacy.
• The gap between possession and mastery: Even gaining a Third Transcendence Realm secret art does not guarantee that Li Yue can use it; true power demands overwhelming comprehension and preparation.
• Physical cultivation: The chapter emphasizes the body as the foundation of combat, especially for fist-based techniques.
• Hidden conspiracies and fate: Li Yue questions whether the collapse of the two major lineages was coincidence or part of a larger plan.
• Limits of advancement: The nearly impossible cultivation requirement highlights how difficult it is to progress toward the highest realms.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue and Liao Zhi: Liao Zhi respectfully guides Li Yue through the Library Pavilion, explains the significance of its treasures, and advises him on suitable substitute techniques for the inheritances he cannot yet cultivate.
• Liao Zhi’s calm, formal explanation contrasts with Li Yue’s growing excitement and later astonishment.
• Li Yue ultimately chooses to receive the Qian Origin Eternal Body inheritance, only to be confronted by its severe requirements.

Chapter Summary: The Qian Origin Lineage’s Great Enemy and Li Yue’s Uniqueness

Key Plot Points and Events

• In a ruined palace, Ming Yan reports to a mysterious, overwhelmingly powerful figure that someone has been welcomed into the Qian Origin Divine Mountain.
• The figure orders Ming Yan to investigate the newcomer’s identity. Although Ming Yan fears that the newcomer may be an invincible Half-step Transcendence-grade expert, the figure gives him a jade talisman and orders him to awaken three hidden beings known as the Butcher, the Chef, and the Arsonist.
• The mysterious figure reveals his hostility toward Qian Bao and the Qian Origin Lineage. He claims to have been sent to hunt Qian Bao and says he is willing to remain trapped in the Three Thousand Dimensions indefinitely if necessary to ensure that the Qian Origin Lineage never recovers.
• Meanwhile, Li Yue evaluates his progress in cultivating the Qian Origin Eternal Body. He has cultivated nine Origin Great Daos, six at seventy-nine percent comprehension and three at approximately fifty percent, but still needs nine more to meet the technique’s requirements.
• Li Yue realizes that cultivating multiple Origin Great Daos has not become progressively harder for him, despite Gray Valley’s warning that each additional Dao should be vastly more difficult to comprehend.
• He theorizes that this unusual ease may be caused by his unique abilities, Endless Amplification and Endless Combat Power.
• Li Yue questions why past Divine Path Leaders such as Xing Mo and Shen Meng claimed that they were “limited by the dimensions,” despite apparently not having reached the highest possible Divine Rank. He contrasts them with Yun Qiannian, who eventually reached the Half-step Transcendence-grade.
• Li Yue leaves the Library Pavilion without examining more inheritances, deciding that his priority is cultivating the first layer of the Qian Origin Eternal Body. Completing it may allow him to activate the Seal of Dao Origin and Thousandfold Combat Power simultaneously, potentially enabling him to reach the Super Dimension-grade.

Character Developments

• Ming Yan is portrayed as powerful but deeply subordinate and fearful before his mysterious master. Though reluctant to investigate a likely Half-step Transcendence-grade being, he accepts the mission after receiving the jade talisman.
• The mysterious figure is established as the Qian Origin Lineage’s ancient enemy. He possesses immense authority, commands hidden experts, and remains committed to destroying Qian Bao and preventing the lineage’s revival.
• Li Yue demonstrates growing confidence in his unique cultivation advantages. He recognizes that his progress differs fundamentally from that of earlier Divine Path Leaders and begins investigating the source of his exceptional talent.
• Li Yue also becomes more disciplined in his priorities, refusing to spend time on inheritances he cannot currently use and focusing instead on the Qian Origin Eternal Body.

Significant Themes

• Ancient conflict and hidden enemies: The chapter expands the larger struggle between the Qian Origin Lineage and the powerful force pursuing it.
• Cultivation limits and dimensional restrictions: Li Yue questions whether the Three Thousand Dimensions impose fundamental barriers on Divine Path cultivation and why some experts reached apparent limits while others advanced further.
• Uniqueness and innate advantages: Li Yue’s Endless Amplification and Endless Combat Power may allow him to bypass the escalating difficulty that normally accompanies the cultivation of multiple Origin Great Daos.
• Preparation and prioritization: Rather than collecting knowledge indiscriminately, Li Yue focuses on the technique most likely to produce an immediate breakthrough.
• Persistence and vengeance: The mysterious enemy’s willingness to remain trapped for countless ages emphasizes the depth of his hatred and the enduring nature of the conflict.

Important Character Interactions

• Ming Yan and the mysterious figure: Their exchange highlights the master’s absolute authority and Ming Yan’s fear. The master assigns him the investigation and provides support through the jade talisman.
• The mysterious figure and Qian Bao: Although Qian Bao does not appear directly, the figure’s monologue establishes a long-standing pursuit and personal enmity between them.
• Li Yue and past Divine Path Leaders: Li Yue mentally compares himself with Xing Mo, Shen Meng, and Yun Qiannian, using their recorded words and achievements to analyze the limitations of cultivation.
• Li Yue and Gray Valley’s teachings: Gray Valley’s earlier explanation about the increasing difficulty of cultivating additional Origin Great Daos serves as the basis for Li Yue identifying how unusual his own progress is.

Chapter Summary:

Qian Bao’s Gift, the Ultimate Divine Path Grand Assembly

Key Plot Points and Events

• Qian Bao presents Li Yue with two powerful defensive treasures:
  • Two Qian Origin One-Qi Thunder Beads, Half-step Transcendence-grade explosive weapons capable of severely injuring Half-step Transcendence beings and killing nearly all weaker lifeforms.
  • The Tiger Soul Puppet, which can unleash three Half-step Transcendence-grade attacks using its remaining Super Energy Core. With ordinary replacement cores, it can still reach Top-tier Dimension-level strength, while its body remains extraordinarily durable.
• Qian Bao explains that these treasures are among the few items Li Yue can use without possessing the corresponding cultivation level.
• He declares that the Qian Origin Lineage obeys only Li Yue’s commands, and advises him to seek assistance from Pan if he encounters danger.
• Li Yue leaves the Qian Origin Divine Mountain by directly traversing the deadly Ultimate Dao Divine Magnetic Radiance. The barrier parts before him, demonstrating his extraordinary strength.

• Li Yue returns to the Dimension of Myriad Daos, where his true body emerges from the Azure Cloud Ultimate Dao Mountain and merges with his incarnation. Qian Bao had unknowingly treated the incarnation as Li Yue’s true body, and was pleased by what he interpreted as Li Yue’s caution.
• At the Eternity Heavenly Palace, Li Yue receives an invitation from the Ancient God Court to attend the Divine Path Grand Assembly in three years.
• Gray Valley reports that the mysterious Divine Domain Organization, founded by Divine Path Leader You Ji, has been destroyed by the Tianling King of the First Dimension.
• Li Yue decides that the assembly will be the ideal opportunity to assert his authority as the current Divine Path Leader and unify the Divine Path factions of the Three Thousand Dimensions under his command.

Character Developments

• His confidence grows as he recognizes that he is ready to stand at the highest level of the Three Thousand Dimensions and command all Divine Path factions.
• Li Yue’s cautious strategy is indirectly validated: Qian Bao mistakes his incarnation for his true body and believes Li Yue’s prudence makes him worthy of leading the Qian Origin Lineage.
• Qian Bao demonstrates loyalty and responsibility by giving Li Yue the lineage’s strongest usable treasures and offering complete support.
• Gray Valley continues serving as Li Yue’s trusted informant, bringing him news of major changes among the Divine Path organizations.

Significant Themes

• Power and preparedness: Li Yue’s new treasures give him practical means to survive against enemies far above his current level.
• Leadership and responsibility: By becoming ruler of the Qian Origin Lineage, Li Yue inherits both its resources and its future conflict with its ancient enemy.
• Caution as strength: Li Yue’s use of an incarnation reflects his careful nature, which Qian Bao views as essential for a successful leader.
• Political consolidation: The Divine Path Grand Assembly represents Li Yue’s chance to transform his individual authority into control over the broader Divine Path.
• Escalating cosmic conflict: The destruction of the Divine Domain Organization signals that powerful factions are being eliminated and that the balance of power in the Three Thousand Dimensions is rapidly changing.

Character Interactions

• Qian Bao and Li Yue: Qian Bao respectfully equips Li Yue with weapons, pledges the Qian Origin Lineage’s obedience, and encourages him to prioritize survival. Li Yue accepts the gifts and authority without hesitation.
• Li Yue and Gray Valley: Gray Valley reports the Ancient God Court’s invitation and the destruction of the Divine Domain Organization. Li Yue uses this information to assess the changing political landscape.
• Li Yue and the Divine Path factions: Though he has not yet attended the Grand Assembly, Li Yue intends to use it to establish himself as the supreme leader of all Divine Path organizations in the Three Thousand Dimensions.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue investigates the peak Divine Rank of ancient Divine Path leaders. Gray Valley reveals that Yun Qiannian possessed a Dimension-level Divine Rank, granting Half-step Transcendence-grade strength.
• Liu Shang confirms that Yan Xiao, founder of the Origin Fate Organization, also reached the Dimension Divine Rank. He recalls Yan Xiao’s statement that “the Divine Path has been cut short” and that later generations lack the strength to continue it.
• Li Yue connects this statement with similar words left by Xing Mo, Shen Meng, and other Divine Path Leaders: “Bound by the dimensions, there is no road ahead.”
• He considers the possibility that the Divine Path ends at the Dimension level—or that an unknown supreme enemy severed the path. He speculates that the Mastermind may be cultivating Deities to produce someone capable of confronting this enemy.
• Despite the ominous implications, Li Yue decides not to be overwhelmed. He reasons that his present strength is still far below his future potential and that sufficient power may allow him to continue the Divine Path himself.
• After dismissing Gray Valley and Liu Shang, Li Yue reviews his powerful trump cards, including the Tiger Soul Puppet, Qian Origin One-Qi Thunder Beads, Super World Origin Power, the Grand Radiance Dao Severing Sword, and the Time-Life Orb.
• He begins another period of cultivation, consuming eleven Matter True Fruits and using Divine Moon Origin to improve his comprehension of the Matter and True Origin Great Daos.
• His Matter Origin comprehension rises to 79%, while his True Origin comprehension reaches 71%. However, he realizes that completing the Qian Origin Eternal Body will require vast additional resources and seeks more treasures that can enhance Origin Great Dao comprehension.

Character Developments

• Li Yue becomes aware of a potentially catastrophic limitation surrounding the Divine Path. Although disturbed, he maintains confidence in his own ability to surpass previous Divine Path leaders.

• A hidden cosmic enemy: The severing of the Divine Path may have been caused by an existence beyond the Ancient Emperor Lord level.
• Strength as the ultimate answer: Li Yue believes overwhelming power may allow him to overcome even a supposedly impossible limitation.
• Burden of knowledge: Learning about the Divine Path’s possible destruction places an immense responsibility on Li Yue, who is still comparatively young among Taboo Life.
• Scarcity of resources and time: Advancement depends not only on talent but also on rare treasures, Divine Moon Origin, and the efficient use of cultivation time.

Character Interactions

• He summons Liu Shang and asks about Yan Xiao. Liu Shang respectfully answers and recounts Yan Xiao’s warning regarding the severed Divine Path.
• Li Yue privately analyzes both men’s information, comparing it with the words of other Divine Path Leaders and questioning its reliability.
• After the discussion, Li Yue dismisses Gray Valley and Liu Shang and returns to solitary cultivation and planning.

Chapter Summary: Secret Exchange Meeting, Terror’s “Ming Yan”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue asks Tianzhi King how to obtain treasures that can help him comprehend the Origin Great Dao.
• Tianzhi King introduces the Secret Exchange Meeting, a mysterious marketplace spanning both the Three Thousand Dimensions and the First Dimension.
  • It was reportedly created by the First Heavenly Emperor.
  • Originally restricted to the First Dimension, it was later expanded by an unknown, incomparably powerful being.
  • Dimension-level beings can sense its location, but it normally opens only once every ten thousand epochs.
  • It can be opened early if someone provides a Peak Dimension-level Supreme Treasure for exchange.
  • Participants’ identities and origins are completely concealed by mist.
• Li Yue orders Tianzhi King—now known as Pulo within the Azure Cloud Sea Lineage—to obtain as many Origin Great Dao-related treasures as possible.
• Li Yue gives Pulo ten Peak Dimension-level Supreme Treasures to use as trade items. Pulo is astonished by Li Yue’s immense wealth and vows to complete the mission.
• The treasures originate from Qian Origin Divine Mountain. Li Yue knows they contain secret “backdoors” created by the Qian Origin Lineage, allowing him to control or sabotage anyone who uses them through the power of the Betrayal Supreme Treasure.
• Elsewhere, Ming Yan travels to an ordinary Small World and finds Chef living in a humble tavern, secretly cooking.
• Ming Yan is confused that an existence at least as powerful as a High-grade Dimension-level being would hide in such an insignificant place. He suspects it may be connected to a terrifying legend.
• Ming Yan tells Chef that someone wants Chef, Butcher, and Arsonist to help investigate the living being recently welcomed into Qian Origin Divine Mountain.
• Chef reveals that Butcher and Arsonist are dead, leaving only him. Ming Yan is horrified to discover that Chef himself has suffered catastrophic injuries and now possesses only half a bruised and swollen face.
• The chapter ends with Ming Yan realizing that a terrifyingly powerful enemy must have defeated or killed the three mysterious experts.

Character Developments

• Li Yue: Demonstrates overwhelming wealth, authority, and strategic caution. He freely spends ten Peak Dimension-level treasures while secretly ensuring they cannot be turned against him.
• Tianzhi King/Pulo: Becomes increasingly loyal and respectful toward Li Yue. He is thrilled to receive resources far beyond what he has ever possessed and sees the exchange meeting as a chance to distinguish himself.
• Ming Yan: Shows curiosity and growing fear. His confidence is shaken when he learns that Chef, Butcher, and Arsonist—figures vastly stronger than himself—have been killed or gravely wounded.
• Chef: Is presented as mysterious, restrained, and extremely powerful despite living as an ordinary tavern cook. His ruined condition reveals that even he has encountered an overwhelming adversary.

Significant Themes

• Hidden power and concealed identities: The Secret Exchange Meeting hides participants’ origins, while Chef conceals his own identity and strength in a mortal world.
• The vast hierarchy of cultivation: Peak Dimension-level treasures and the deaths of powerful experts emphasize the enormous gap between different levels of existence.
• Strategic control and mistrust: Li Yue’s use of treasures with hidden backdoors shows that power is accompanied by careful preparation and suspicion.
• Mystery and foreshadowing: The unknown being who expanded the exchange meeting, the terrifying legend, and the deaths of Butcher and Arsonist all suggest larger threats and unresolved history.
• The contrast between the ordinary and the extraordinary: Chef’s quiet life in a humble Small World sharply contrasts with his immense strength and violent past.

Important Character Interactions

• Li Yue and Tianzhi King: Li Yue questions him about rare treasures, then entrusts him with ten supreme artifacts and a major mission.
• Tianzhi King and Li Yue: Tianzhi King responds with extreme deference, recognizing Li Yue as the unquestioned supreme authority.
• Ming Yan and Chef: Ming Yan seeks Chef’s assistance, but instead learns of the deaths of Butcher and Arsonist and sees Chef’s horrifying injuries.

Additional Note

• The chapter closes with an author’s appeal asking readers to point out unresolved plot threads from the middle and later parts of the story.

Chapter Summary: “The Terror of Pan, Another Li Yue?”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Chef reveals that the terrifying enemy who defeated him, Butcher, and Arsonist was Pan, the only disciple ever to leave Qian Origin Divine Mountain.
• Pan’s power was overwhelming: despite not yet reaching Half-step Transcendence-grade, he effortlessly crushed three presumed Top-tier Dimension-level beings. Chef suspects Pan may have fused more than three Origin Great Daos.
• Chef explains to Ming Yan that he cannot leave the Small World or contact his lord, because Pan would immediately detect and kill him. Although Chef owes his lord for helping him reach the High-grade and Top-tier Dimension-levels, he refuses to risk certain death.
• Ming Yan leaves the Small World to report the situation, deeply frightened by the enemy his faction now faces.
• Three years later, Li Yue awakens after conserving his remaining Divine Moon Origin, waiting for Tianzhi King to return with rare treasures that could greatly increase its effectiveness.
• Li Yue calculates that he now possesses 274 million units of World Divine Power, but his powerful abilities consume it rapidly. Thousandfold Combat Power can only last about ninety breaths with his current reserves, while Hundredfold Combat Power combined with the Seal of Dao Origin can reach the peak of the Top-tier Dimension-level.
• Li Yue decides that temporarily remaining in seclusion is beneficial because Qingyi Chaos World’s time flow allows one day outside to correspond to ten thousand days within it, rapidly increasing his forces’ strength.
• Gray Valley informs Li Yue that it is time to attend the Divine Path Grand Assembly hosted by the Ancient God Heavenly Court. Li Yue orders several powerful subordinates to accompany him.
• During their journey aboard a Top-tier Dimension-level cloud ship from the Qian Origin Lineage, the group is suddenly intercepted by ominous black mist and a bizarre voice claiming to be “Li Yue,” demanding that deities worship him in exchange for becoming Dimension-level.

Character Developments

• Chef is shown to be deeply traumatized by Pan’s overwhelming strength. Despite his pride and former status as a peak powerhouse, survival takes priority, and he refuses to gamble his life by leaving the Small World.
• Ming Yan becomes aware of the terrifying scale of the conflict surrounding his faction. His confidence gives way to fear and uncertainty after learning that even Chef’s alliance was destroyed by Pan.
• Li Yue demonstrates careful strategic thinking. He conserves scarce resources, evaluates the limits of his combat abilities, and prioritizes long-term growth over immediate power usage.
• Li Yue’s subordinates, including Liu Shang, Chi Mei, Yuanqi, Wu Qing, Wang Xuan, and Chen Tianhai, continue to grow rapidly under the favorable conditions of Qingyi Chaos World. The newer members have already reached the Dao of Taboo Life, surpassing the expectations of older Half-step Dimension-level figures.
• Gray Valley continues to act as Li Yue’s trusted attendant and guide, organizing his journey to the Divine Path Grand Assembly.

Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and vulnerability: Pan’s strength is so extreme that even top-level experts are reduced to helpless survivors, emphasizing the vast gap between powerful beings.
• Survival versus loyalty: Chef’s refusal to risk certain death illustrates the limits of allegiance, even toward a benefactor and lord.
• Resource management and preparation: Li Yue’s calculations emphasize that immense power is constrained by energy reserves, making patience and planning essential.
• Accelerated growth through time: Qingyi Chaos World’s unusual time flow gives Li Yue’s faction a major strategic advantage, allowing weaker members to develop rapidly.
• The unknown and impersonation: The sudden appearance of a figure claiming to be Li Yue introduces a new threat involving identity, deception, or a rival with similar ambitions.

Character Interactions

• Chef and Ming Yan discuss Pan’s identity, strength, and the reasons Chef cannot report the matter directly to his lord.
• Chef urges Ming Yan to leave and inform the lord, while personally remaining in hiding.
• Li Yue gives direct orders to Gray Valley and his chosen companions, demonstrating his authority over the growing organization.
• The chapter ends with Li Yue’s party confronted by an unidentified entity using his name and demanding worship, setting up the next conflict.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue learns that even the terrifying Fallen Life of Endless Darkness knows his name and can imitate him. He wonders whether one of his countless Believers may have betrayed him.
• A Fallen Life entity appears in the form of Li Yue, loudly proclaiming itself as the Divine Path and threatening all who refuse to submit. Its evil, distorted aura makes the disguise obviously false.
• Gray Valley destroys the entity’s evil mist with a powerful elemental technique. However, the black-clad imitation of Li Yue suddenly shatters itself, triggering a mysterious attack on Li Yue’s divine soul.
• Li Yue’s Super Heaven, spanning four hundred li, suppresses the attack and prevents serious injury. He realizes that without this protection, the Mind Ghost’s technique could severely damage—or potentially tear apart—his divine soul.
• Yuanqi identifies the creature as a Mind Ghost, a rare and extremely dangerous branch of Fallen Life. Liu Shang adds that historical encounters with Mind Ghosts have resulted in the deaths of Dimension-level beings.
• Gray Valley explains that the Mind Ghost’s abilities resemble those of Mind Cultivators, beings from beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions who use the mind as a weapon and can create false images whose destruction harms the real target. The Mind Ghosts may be either fallen Mind Cultivators or beings born from one’s corpse.
• Li Yue concludes that external powers may have influenced the Three Thousand Dimensions throughout history, despite the restrictions imposed by the Origin Will and Source Dao Sea.
• The group proceeds to the Ninefold Fusion Dimension known as Divine Revelation, controlled by the Ancient God Heavenly Court.
• At the entrance, the local Deities demand confirmation of Li Yue’s identity. Liu Shang introduces him as the master of the Eternal Divine Court, Leader of the Eternity Organization, and thirteenth Leader of the Divine Path.
• Li Yue responds by releasing the aura of a top-tier Dimension-level existence, overwhelming the Divine Revelation Dimension and declaring that he is the Divine Path Leader. His arrival throws the entire dimension into turmoil.

Character Developments

• Li Yue: Demonstrates calm confidence and growing awareness of the dangers posed by Fallen Life. He remains composed after the Mind Ghost’s attack, relying on his Super Heaven and recognizing the need to understand this new enemy. His status and authority become more openly established as he confronts the Ancient God Heavenly Court.
• Gray Valley: Shows decisive strength by annihilating the Mind Ghost’s manifested form. He also provides crucial knowledge about Mind Cultivators and their possible connection to the Fallen Life.
• Yuanqi: Reveals his extensive experience with the Mind Ghosts through his past association with the God Dream Organization and Shen Meng.
• Liu Shang: Contributes historical knowledge about Mind Ghost encounters and formally presents Li Yue’s prestigious identities to the Divine Revelation Deities.
• The Mind Ghost: Emerges as a highly deceptive and psychologically dangerous enemy capable of imitating Li Yue and attacking his soul indirectly rather than through physical combat.

Significant Themes

• The danger of hidden enemies: The Mind Ghost’s attack demonstrates that Fallen Life can use subtle, nearly undetectable methods rather than relying solely on brute force.
• Identity and imitation: The false Li Yue reflects the dangers of impersonation and raises questions about how much an individual’s image, aura, or reputation can be reproduced.
• Influence beyond the known world: The possibility that fallen beings from beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions have shaped events suggests that the current conflicts may involve ancient, unseen powers.
• Authority and recognition: Li Yue’s titles carry immense historical and political weight. His declaration of identity is backed not by explanation but by overwhelming power.
• The mind as a battlefield: The chapter introduces Mind Cultivation as a path centered on mental and spiritual attacks, broadening the types of threats Li Yue must face.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue and Gray Valley cooperate naturally, with Gray Valley responding immediately to the Mind Ghost’s provocation.
• Li Yue questions the group about the strange attacker, prompting Yuanqi and Liu Shang to explain the nature and history of Mind Ghosts.
• Gray Valley expands on their explanation by connecting Mind Ghosts to Mind Cultivators from beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• At Divine Revelation, the local Half-step Dimension-level Deity treats Liu Shang and Chi Mei with respect but becomes wary upon learning Li Yue’s identity.
• Li Yue refuses to justify himself verbally and instead suppresses the entire dimension with his aura, forcing the Ancient God Heavenly Court to acknowledge his presence and authority.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue reveals the aura of a Top-tier Dimension-level Deity, a realm standing at the absolute pinnacle of the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• His aura overwhelms the Ancient God Heavenly Court’s forces outside the Divine Revelation Dimension. Even Half-step Dimension-level and Taboo Deities are forced to kneel and prostrate themselves.
• The Divine Revelation Dimension activates its Ninefold Fusion Dimension defenses, but the crystal barriers immediately crack and shatter under Li Yue’s divine might.
• Li Yue’s presence spreads throughout the entire dimension, forcing nearly every living being—from ordinary mortals to powerful Deities—to kneel in fear.
• Only Gu Yan, the High-grade Dimension-level master of the Ancient God Heavenly Court and son of Divine Path Leader Gu Tuo, can resist the pressure, though he is still visibly shaken.
• Gu Yan realizes that Li Yue has already reached the same supreme realm as his father, despite having become a Deity only a few years earlier. His plan to use the Divine Path Grand Assembly to become the “King of the Gods” and break through to the Top-tier Dimension-level is immediately rendered meaningless.
• Gu Yan leaves the Divine Revelation Dimension, bows to Li Yue, and formally acknowledges him as the Divine Path Leader of the current age.
• Rather than resisting, Gu Yan offers the entire Ancient God Heavenly Court’s allegiance. Li Yue accepts and orders Gu Yan to follow him personally.
• When Gray Valley looks at Gu Yan, Gu Yan senses overwhelming danger and suspects that Gray Valley may be a Super Dimension-grade existence—an even higher realm than his father’s. This makes him even more respectful toward Li Yue.
• In the Divine Revelation Hall, Li Yue takes the seat of honor before more than four thousand Taboo Deities representing the major and minor Divine Path organizations of the Three Thousand Dimensions.

Character Developments

• Li Yue is established as an overwhelmingly powerful Top-tier Dimension-level Deity. His position as Divine Path Leader is no longer merely symbolic; his strength compels every Divine Path force to submit.
• Gu Yan undergoes a dramatic reversal. He begins as an ambitious High-grade Dimension-level Deity seeking to unite the Divine Path forces under his leadership, but quickly abandons his ambitions after realizing Li Yue’s superiority. He becomes cautious, obedient, and politically submissive.
• Gray Valley is revealed to possess an astonishing level of strength. Although he remains quiet and subordinate to Li Yue, even a High-grade Dimension-level Deity fears that Gray Valley could kill him.
• Gu Tuo’s influence is indirectly emphasized: Gu Yan’s respect for Li Yue is partly based on his understanding of how formidable his father is and how rare beings of Li Yue’s level are.

Significant Themes

• Absolute strength determines authority: Titles and political schemes are insignificant before overwhelming power.
• Submission to the stronger: Gu Yan’s immediate surrender reflects the principle that survival and allegiance depend on recognizing superior strength.
• The emergence of a new supreme leader: Li Yue’s arrival ends the uncertainty following the destruction of the Divine Domain Organization and signals the consolidation of the Divine Path under his command.
• The vast hierarchy of cultivation: The chapter highlights the enormous gulf between High-grade, Top-tier, and Super Dimension-grade existences.
• Fear and awe before transcendence: Li Yue’s aura affects all life within the dimension, portraying a supreme Deity as an existence approaching the level of a natural law or heavenly force.

Character Interactions

• Li Yue and Gu Yan: Gu Yan formally bows and pledges the Ancient God Heavenly Court’s allegiance. Li Yue accepts but commands Gu Yan to remain at his side, turning him from a rival claimant into a subordinate.
• Gu Yan and Gray Valley: Gray Valley’s single glance terrifies Gu Yan, causing him to reassess Gray Valley as a possible Super Dimension-grade being.
• Li Yue and the gathered Taboo Deities: By taking the highest seat before more than four thousand Taboo Deities, Li Yue symbolically and practically establishes himself as the unquestioned leader of the Divine Path forces.

Chapter Summary

• Li Yue establishes a new Divine Path organization: More than four thousand Taboo Deities from several major Divine Path factions gather in an enormous hall after being subdued by Li Yue’s overwhelming power. Li Yue introduces himself as the holder of the thirteenth divine seat, Leader of the Eternity Organization, and the thirteenth Divine Path Leader of the Three Thousand Dimensions. He announces the creation of the “Hall of All Gods”—also referred to as the Divine Path Hall—to reunite the scattered Divine Path forces.
• The threat of the First Dimension: Li Yue reminds the gathered Deities that the First Dimension regards the Divine Path as an enemy. He cites the destruction of the powerful Divine Domain Organization, including the death of a High-grade Dimension-level being, as proof of the First Dimension’s danger. Since its hunting squads are actively targeting Divine Path Deities, he offers protection to anyone who joins his new organization, while requiring them to obey his commands.
• The Deities face a difficult choice: The assembled Taboo Deities hesitate because joining means submitting to Li Yue’s authority, while refusing would leave them vulnerable to the First Dimension. Their fear intensifies when the Half-step Dimension-level expert from Hidden Dragon Divine Mountain reveals that three Super Battle Squads have descended, each supposedly led by a Top-tier Dimension-level being.
• Gray Valley reveals a shocking development: Gray Valley, acting as Li Yue’s attendant or representative, corrects the report by stating that only two Top-tier Dimension-level enemies remain. The third has not returned to the First Dimension—instead, he has pledged allegiance to Li Yue and now serves the “God Lord.” This revelation shocks every Deity, who cannot believe that a Top-tier Dimension-level being would submit to Li Yue.
• Proof of the allegiance: Gray Valley opens a spatial rift showing the captured or converted being, Pulo, listening respectfully to a sermon from an even more mysterious and powerful figure radiating immense light. The overwhelming aura causes even Gu Yan, a High-grade Dimension-level being, to feel like an insignificant ant. Pulo then emerges from the rift, releases his terrifying Top-tier Dimension-level aura, and respectfully bows to Li Yue.

Character developments and interactions

• Li Yue demonstrates authority, ambition, and confidence by attempting to reunite all Divine Path Deities under his command while presenting himself as their protector.
• The gathered Taboo Deities shift from fear and uncertainty toward astonishment and possible trust as they witness Li Yue’s influence.
• Gray Valley reinforces his mysterious and powerful status by casually revealing Pulo’s allegiance and controlling access to the spatial rift.
• Pulo undergoes a major status reversal, changing from an enemy Top-tier Dimension-level being into Li Yue’s obedient subordinate.
• Gu Yan and the other Deities are left stunned by the power of the unseen “God Lord” and by the possibility that Gray Valley is far more than an ordinary attendant.
• Major themes: The chapter emphasizes unity versus independence, as the Divine Path Deities must choose between obeying Li Yue and facing annihilation alone. It also highlights power, fear, and legitimacy: Li Yue’s claim to leadership is strengthened not merely by words, but by his ability to command a Top-tier Dimension-level being. The destruction of the Divine Domain Organization and the First Dimension’s persecution establish a setting of existential crisis, while Pulo’s submission suggests that Li Yue’s faction possesses forces far beyond what the gathered Deities initially understood.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• In the Divine Path’s great hall, over four thousand Taboo Deities gather before Li Yue, the new Divine Path Leader. They are awed by his authority, especially after witnessing that Tianzhi King Pulo—a top-tier Dimension-level being from the First Dimension—has submitted to him, while an even more terrifying old servant respectfully serves under Li Yue.
• Li Yue asks Pulo about the ongoing Secret Exchange Meeting and learns that it will continue for roughly seven more years.
• He then invites all the Divine Path factions to join the newly established Hall of All Gods. One after another, the major organizations agree:
  • Gu Yan offers the Ancient God Heavenly Court.
  • Tu Qi offers the Way-Seeking Organization.
  • Jiang Yu offers the Yama Manor Organization.
  • Xing Tai offers the Divine Temple Organization.

• Gu Yan shows decisive loyalty by immediately submitting the Ancient God Heavenly Court and offering all three of its Ninefold Fusion Dimensions. His desire to obtain a suitable inheritance and potentially advance to the top-tier Dimension-level heavily influences his decision.
• Tu Qi, Jiang Yu, and Xing Tai all display pragmatic submission. Though powerful Dimension-level leaders, they recognize that access to Half-step Transcendence-grade inheritances is more valuable than retaining their individual territories.
• Liu Shang and Yuanqi experience frustration and bitterness because the Divine Path Alliance and God Dream Organization lack Dimension-level Deities, leaving them weaker and less accomplished than comparable factions.
• The gathered Taboo Deities shift from independent faction leaders to members of a unified system centered on Li Yue.

3. Significant Themes

• Power and hierarchy: Li Yue’s influence is emphasized through the submission of beings vastly more powerful than ordinary Taboo Deities.
• Unity through shared benefits: Rather than relying only on coercion, Li Yue unites the Divine Path by offering access to treasures, inheritances, merits, and collective security.
• Sacrifice for advancement: The organizations willingly surrender their most important Ninefold Fusion Dimensions because future cultivation opportunities outweigh the value of their existing foundations.
• Institutional consolidation: The Hall of All Gods and Divine Path Dimension represent the transformation of scattered factions into an organized power.
• Cultivation and opportunity: Half-step Transcendence-grade inheritances are portrayed as rare shortcuts capable of helping Dimension-level beings overcome bottlenecks.
• Mutual growth and resource exchange: Li Yue’s plan benefits both the Divine Path and the Eternal Divine Court, allowing him to gain divine power while strengthening his subordinate forces.

4. Character Interactions

• Li Yue calmly questions Pulo about the Secret Exchange Meeting, reinforcing their subordinate relationship.
• He addresses the assembled Taboo Deities collectively, inviting them to join the Hall of All Gods and later asking them to contribute their Ninefold Fusion Dimensions.
• Gu Yan is the first to bow and submit, setting an example for the other faction leaders.
• Tu Qi, Jiang Yu, and Xing Tai follow Gu Yan’s lead and formally pledge their organizations.
• Li Yue publicly rewards Gu Yan’s organization, creating both gratitude and envy among the other factions.
• His final reassurance—that other Taboo Deities will also have chances to earn merits—helps maintain their enthusiasm and loyalty while advancing his broader plan.

Chapter Summary: “Top-tier Dimension-level Falls, Fallen Life Appears”

Key Plot Points and Events

• A terrifying blood-red lightning phenomenon spreads throughout the First Dimension, signaling the death of a Top-tier Dimension-level being.
• The First Heavenly Court’s Heavenly Emperor panics and orders the Heaven-Seizing Bureau to investigate. His two High-grade Dimension-level Guardians explain that the phenomenon is caused by the fall of a supreme powerhouse.

• Gray Valley returns and reports the successful kill to Li Yue. Li Yue is satisfied, revealing that he could have slain Tianling King himself but chose to conserve his divine power by allowing Gray Valley to act.

• Li Yue’s authority grows in the eyes of the Taboo Deities. Since even the killer of Tianling King submits to him, the Deities’ faith, admiration, and sense of security increase dramatically.

Significant Themes

• The Fallen Life unleashes its horrifying “ultimate whisper,” which invades the minds of everyone aboard Li Yue’s white flying vessel. Many Taboo Deities nearly fall into madness and corruption.
• Li Yue’s Super Heaven suppresses the whispers and protects the entire vessel. This reveals that his mysterious power is especially effective against the twisted influence of Fallen Life.
• The Fallen Life identifies the Super Heaven as a Supreme Grade existence connected to the Mother of All and notices that Gray Valley is also immune to its influence.
• Gray Valley explains that he knows of Sinful Heaven, suggesting that Fallen Life may have been created or twisted by a powerful existence known as the Transcender of Sinful Heaven. His knowledge shocks the Fallen Life, which realizes that Gray Valley may come from beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• Alarmed, the Fallen Life attempts to flee into Endless Darkness while carrying the Dao-Fallen Blood Lotus. Gray Valley attacks with overwhelming Ultimate Sword Qi.
• A Super Dimension-grade Fallen Life, Lord Azimo, intervenes from the depths of Endless Darkness, blocking Gray Valley’s attack and rescuing the fleeing creature. Gray Valley does not pursue, recognizing that he is currently below the Super Dimension level.
• Li Yue orders everyone to retrieve the Dao-Fallen Blood Lotus and leave. He deliberately refrains from using his powerful Qian Origin One-Qi Thunder Bead, choosing not to reveal his trump card or provoke the Fallen Life as a group.
• Lord Azimo later explains that he sensed a frightening threat from Li Yue’s group and warns against confronting beings from beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions.
• Li Yue’s group returns safely to the Dimension of Myriad Daos. The Taboo Deities disperse and begin migrating there, while six Ninefold Fusion Dimensions also move closer.
• Li Yue resumes cultivating the Great Dao. The chapter concludes after one hundred years have passed.

Character Developments

• Li Yue demonstrates greater control over the Super Heaven and confirms its ability to counter Fallen Life’s corruptive mental influence. He also shows strategic restraint by hiding his strongest weapon rather than seeking unnecessary victory.
• Gray Valley is revealed to possess knowledge of Sinful Heaven and beings beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions. Although nearly invincible among Top-tier Dimension-level beings, he acknowledges the gap between himself and Super Dimension-grade opponents.
• Gu Yan gains renewed appreciation for the danger of Fallen Life through memories of his father’s battle and the mass deaths caused by such creatures.
• The Taboo Deities experience firsthand how vulnerable they are to the Fallen Life’s whispers, reinforcing the enormous difference between their strength and that of higher-level existences.

• The vastness of existence: References to Sinful Heaven, beings beyond the Three Thousand Dimensions, and Super Dimension-grade lifeforms expand the scale of the world and suggest even greater threats beyond the known realms.
• Strength versus caution: Gray Valley is powerful enough to dominate his current level, yet both he and Lord Azimo recognize that higher realms cannot be challenged recklessly.
• Return and stability: After the dangerous encounter, Li Yue’s return to the Dimension of Myriad Daos represents a temporary refuge and a period of preparation for future growth.

Character Interactions

Chapter Summary: The Old Friend from Those Days, Eighteen Origin Great Daos

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Yue reflects on the passage of time, noting that one hundred years is insignificant to high-level cultivators but represents an entire lifetime for mortals. He has now been a Deity for 570 years.
• His divine jurisdiction has expanded to nearly 1,500 times the size of the original Heavens Universe. Countless humans live there as devout Believers.
• Li Yue visits a snowy mountain where ascetics train in conditions created by the death of a Heavenly Venerable-level Chaos Behemoth. He notices Ji Gongyu, a princess of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty and a longtime cultivator at the peak of the Immortal King realm.
• Remembering his connection to the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty, Li Yue assists Ji Gongyu. She immediately seizes the opportunity he provides and begins breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm.
• Li Yue unexpectedly encounters Ji Xuanne, the former Saint Martial Emperor who once sheltered him when they were both far weaker. Ji Xuanne has since become a Dominator.
• Ji Xuanne is shocked to discover how powerful Li Yue has become and respectfully addresses him as the Eternal God Lord. Li Yue treats him warmly, invites him to tea, and recalls their shared past.
• For half a month, Li Yue travels throughout the Great Zhen Imperial Court, observing the coexistence of humans and many other races. He sees diverse regions, cultures, and communities, including human settlements influenced by foreign races.
• After returning to his Divine Domain, Li Yue reflects on his identity and concludes that despite his transformations and immense growth, he has always remained fundamentally the same person.
• He then recalls his century-long seclusion. With the help of rare Dimension-level treasures and the Divine Moon Origin, he cultivated for 500,000 years within a special accelerated space.
• During that time, he raised all eighteen of his Origin Great Daos to 79% comprehension:
  • Radiance, Sun, Soul
  • Apex, Slaughter, Open Heaven
  • Illusion, Reality, Matter
  • Death, Taiyin, Devouring
  • Creation, Life, World
  • Five Elements, Thunder, Storm
• The process nearly destroyed his sense of self because his High-grade Taboo Divine Rank essence could barely withstand the profound interaction of eighteen Origin Great Daos.
• He ultimately succeeds and completes the cultivation of the Third Transcendence Realm’s peerless secret art, the Qian Origin Eternal Body.

Character Developments

• Li Yue: Demonstrates both his overwhelming power and his continued emotional connection to his origins. Despite becoming a supreme existence, he remains compassionate, remembers old allies, and values his past identity. His cultivation also reaches a major milestone with the completion of the Qian Origin Eternal Body.
• Ji Gongyu: Advances from the peak of the Immortal King realm toward becoming a Heavenly Venerable after receiving Li Yue’s indirect assistance.
• Ji Xuanne: Has risen from a remnant soul to the Dominator level. His reverence and excitement upon meeting Li Yue reveal how dramatically their positions have changed.
• The Great Zhen population: Humans and foreign races increasingly coexist, trade, form friendships, and cooperate against the Chaos Behemoths.

Significant Themes

• The contrast between mortal and immortal time: A century is fleeting to powerful beings but represents an entire human lifetime.
• Continuity of identity: Li Yue questions whether his vast growth has changed him, ultimately affirming that the mortal, Deity, and supreme cultivator are all the same person.
• Friendship and remembrance: Power and status do not erase Li Yue’s bonds with those from his past.
• Civilization and coexistence: The Great Zhen Imperial Court is portrayed as a diverse society where humans and multiple races live, trade, cooperate, and gradually influence one another.
• The dangers of transcendence: Comprehending too many profound Daos beyond one’s essential level risks losing oneself and being absorbed into the Dao.
• Cultivation through balance: Li Yue’s success depends not only on rare treasures and accelerated time but also on preserving his consciousness and personal identity.

Important Character Interactions

• Li Yue silently aids Ji Gongyu’s breakthrough, showing his influence and benevolence.
• He reunites with Ji Xuanne, who reacts with awe and reverence. Li Yue rejects excessive formality and treats him as an old friend.

• Li Yue’s observations of humans and foreign races emphasize his role as both supreme cultivator and guardian of the civilization within his jurisdiction.
