Ch. 742Opening the Spacetime Causality Line

Chapter Summary: “Opening the Spacetime Causality Line”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Yellow Sand Woman explains the difference between being closed, half-closed, and public for an Unknowable and Unhearable existence. Closure can refer either to a cultivation state or to a deliberate attitude; some beings voluntarily become public to lure enemies into a trap.
  • Liu Chengfeng realizes that the powerful figure from the Other Shore may have voluntarily exposed himself, suggesting immense confidence and a possible plan to destroy those who attack him.
  • The group discusses their own pasts:
    • Abo is half-closed by choice, partly because he participated in an ancient war.
    • The Faceless Stone Statue claims she voluntarily went public to shoulder a responsibility, though Yellow Sand Woman mocks her and says she was forcibly exposed and defeated.
    • Neither Abo nor the Faceless Stone Statue reveals why they once besieged the Other Shore figure.
  • Liu Chengfeng decides to seek out and confront Old Scholar, who is in the process of sealing himself and is therefore extremely difficult to locate or enter.
  • Although Old Scholar is a Creator God within the Self Sequence and could potentially restore any damage Liu causes, Liu intends to use the confrontation to test his abilities. The others worry that his recklessness could destroy the world.
  • Yellow Sand Woman and the Faceless Stone Statue support the plan, while Abo reluctantly agrees to help guard Liu Chengfeng’s physical body and provide power if necessary.
  • Liu creates multiple Immortal Bodies and prepares to act independently, keeping Abo and the others as reserves rather than relying on their strength directly.
  • He activates the Eternal True-Knowledge Eye, attempting to trace Old Scholar through spacetime, causality, and the Causality Wheel. Even after massively amplifying his blood energy and divine power with Technique Unbinding, Life Spring, he finds no trace.
  • Refusing to accept failure, Liu Chengfeng prepares to use the Blessing Puppet to empower himself further. The puppet begins kneeling and kowtowing, sacrificing blood energy and life force to break through toward higher realms.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng is portrayed as increasingly confident, reckless, and battle-hungry. He sees an Unknowable and Unhearable being as a target and training partner rather than an overwhelming threat. His willingness to risk massive destruction—and to use the Blessing Puppet’s life force—shows both his ambition and disregard for danger.
  • Yellow Sand Woman continues to encourage Liu’s more destructive impulses. Though she calls him a villain, she clearly enjoys his audacity and supports his attempt to attack Old Scholar.
  • Abo acts as the cautious voice of reason. He recognizes the danger of provoking a nearly sealed Unknowable and worries that Liu’s “testing” could become catastrophic. Nevertheless, he remains loyal and agrees to protect Liu’s physical body.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue displays pride and arrogance, insisting that her past exposure and fall were voluntary rather than forced. Despite often opposing Liu, she supports his plan and proves to be one of his strongest allies.
  • Old Scholar remains unseen, but his ability to conceal himself while approaching complete closure establishes him as an exceptionally powerful and elusive opponent.

Significant Themes

  • Power versus restraint: Liu Chengfeng’s strength grows rapidly, but the chapter questions whether power without caution becomes madness.
  • Exposure and concealment: The distinctions between closed, half-closed, and public states reflect different strategies for survival, combat, and control.
  • Confidence and baiting: Voluntarily becoming public may indicate either vulnerability or overwhelming confidence, suggesting that apparent weakness can be a deliberate trap.
  • Loyalty amid disagreement: Although the characters argue and criticize one another, they still cooperate and protect Liu Chengfeng.
  • The cost of cultivation: The Blessing Puppet’s sacrifice emphasizes that advancement and power come at the price of blood, life, and potentially entire worlds.
  • Limits of knowledge: Even Liu’s enhanced ability to perceive spacetime and causality cannot immediately reveal Old Scholar, highlighting the extraordinary nature of Unknowable and Unhearable beings.

Character Interactions

  • Liu and Yellow Sand Woman exchange teasing accusations, with her calling him a villain and him pretending to be harmless.
  • Liu questions Abo and the Faceless Stone Statue about their past involvement in the ancient siege, but both avoid answering.
  • Yellow Sand Woman mocks the Faceless Stone Statue’s claim that she voluntarily became public, while the statue responds with arrogant defiance.
  • The group debates whether Liu should confront Old Scholar. Yellow Sand Woman and the Faceless Stone Statue encourage him, while Abo warns him to avoid unnecessary destruction.
  • Liu reassures the others that he will only “defend himself,” though Abo clearly does not believe him.
  • At the end, Abo and the others protect Liu’s physical body as he begins using the Blessing Puppet to forcefully increase his power.

  • He summons Ye Huijian, calling her “wife,” and invites her to participate in a battle involving Unknowable and Unhearable beings.
  • Ye Huijian activates the Nine Lives Sea through Liu Chengfeng’s immortal body and connects herself to the True Self Sequence Source Number.
  • Following her lead, Liu Chengfeng’s followers, divine officials, generals, Heavenly Dragon, the Madam, and members of Ghost Walk and Heavenly Curse all connect their sequence numbers to the True Self Sequence.
  • Their combined power fills the incomplete True Self Sequence, causing it to manifest more fully and empowering Liu Chengfeng’s Primordial Spirit.
  • The chapter ends with Liu Chengfeng ordering the Yellow Sand Woman and Faceless Stone Statue to connect the Qingmeng and Primordial Sequences as well.

Character Developments

  • Collective strength and allegiance: His followers willingly merge their sequence numbers with his, transforming loyalty into tangible power.
  • Self-reliance and personal tempering: Liu Chengfeng refuses to rely completely on borrowed strength, seeking growth through direct confrontation.
  • Arrogance and provocation: Old Scholar’s contemptuous threats unite Liu Chengfeng’s allies against him.

  • Ye Huijian rallies Liu Chengfeng’s followers, who collectively connect themselves to the True Self Sequence.
  • Liu Chengfeng then directs the Yellow Sand Woman and Faceless Stone Statue to strengthen the Qingmeng and Primordial Sequences, preparing for the coming confrontation with Old Scholar.

Ch. 744Entering the Sequence

Chapter Summary: “Entering the Sequence”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng orders Yellow Sand Woman and the Faceless Stone Statue to receive control of the Primordial and Qingmeng Sequences. Yellow Sand Woman resists, unwilling to become one of his “divine officials,” but ultimately accepts after Liu pressures her.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue takes control of the Qingmeng Sequence, while Yellow Sand Woman takes control of the Primordial Sequence. Their ascension awakens the supreme beings within each Sequence, who submit to their new rulers.
  • The True Self, Primordial, and Qingmeng Sequences become linked through Liu Chengfeng’s Heavenly Charter Divine Kingdom. The faith, life force, divine power, karma, and spatial strength of countless beings flow into the three Sequences.
  • The combined power of the three Sequences still cannot fill or illuminate Liu Chengfeng’s Heaven-Constitution Sky. Everyone is stunned by its unimaginable size, realizing that it can contain far more than three Sequences and may only be limited by the Great Dao Seed.
  • Old Scholar once again demands that Liu Chengfeng and the others retreat. Angered by his arrogance, Yellow Sand Woman and the Faceless Stone Statue attack him with the Primordial and Qingmeng Sequences. Abo joins them, and together they force open a breach in Old Scholar’s defenses.
  • Rather than allowing the three supreme beings to enter the battle, Liu Chengfeng insists on fighting Old Scholar himself so he can temper and prove his own strength. He invades Old Scholar’s Sequence, despite the enormous danger of entering an enemy Creation God’s home territory.
  • Within his own Sequence, Old Scholar possesses absolute authority and initially suppresses Liu Chengfeng. He attempts to uncover Liu’s karma, destiny, and origin, but Liu’s nine Creation Godheads and the three great Sequences conceal him.
  • Old Scholar realizes that other Unknowable and Unhearable beings are hidden within Liu Chengfeng’s Primordial Spirit. He manages to deduce a connection to the Faceless Stone Statue, causing Yellow Sand Woman to become jealous and furious that he did not identify her.
  • Yellow Sand Woman nearly intervenes, but Liu Chengfeng restrains her, promising to defeat Old Scholar on her behalf.
  • The chapter ends as Old Scholar summons a powerful supreme being to act as his vanguard and test Liu Chengfeng.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng becomes increasingly confident and flamboyant. He takes pride in the vastness of his Heaven-Constitution Sky and insists on personally confronting Old Scholar rather than relying on his allies.
  • Yellow Sand Woman remains hot-tempered, proud, and resentful of Liu Chengfeng’s arrogance. Although she accepts control of the Primordial Sequence, she dislikes being treated as his subordinate and becomes especially irritated when Old Scholar identifies the Faceless Stone Statue rather than her.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue demonstrates her loyalty to Liu Chengfeng by immediately accepting the Qingmeng Sequence. She is calmer and more devoted than Yellow Sand Woman, though she also eagerly attacks Old Scholar when conflict begins.
  • Old Scholar is established as an immensely powerful Creation God and an exceptionally perceptive deducer. Even within his own Sequence, however, he cannot fully see through Liu Chengfeng’s protections.
  • Abo and the other followers are impressed and shocked by the scale of Liu Chengfeng’s inner world. They support the assault on Old Scholar despite recognizing the danger.

Significant Themes

  • Vastness and power: Liu Chengfeng’s Heaven-Constitution Sky is so immense that even three complete Sequences appear insignificant within it, suggesting his potential exceeds conventional limits.
  • Home-field supremacy: Unknowable and Unhearable beings are nearly invincible within their own Sequences because they function as Creation Gods there. Entering an opponent’s Sequence is therefore extremely dangerous.
  • Loyalty and control: The transfer of the Primordial and Qingmeng Sequences strengthens Liu Chengfeng’s faction but also creates a hierarchical relationship in which Yellow Sand Woman and the Faceless Stone Statue effectively serve under him.
  • Pride and rivalry: The characters’ banter, especially between Liu Chengfeng and Yellow Sand Woman, mixes genuine strategic cooperation with personal resentment and competition.
  • Hidden identities and obscured origins: Liu Chengfeng’s true nature remains concealed by the nine Creation Godheads, the three Sequences, and the forces of past and future, frustrating Old Scholar’s otherwise unrivaled ability to know and deduce everything.

Character Interactions

  • Liu Chengfeng provokes Yellow Sand Woman into accepting the Primordial Sequence, while she repeatedly challenges his arrogance.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue quietly supports Liu Chengfeng and assumes control of the Qingmeng Sequence without hesitation.
  • Yellow Sand Woman, the Faceless Stone Statue, and Abo cooperate in attacking Old Scholar, but Liu Chengfeng stops them from taking over the fight.
  • Liu Chengfeng taunts Old Scholar after entering his Sequence, while Old Scholar responds with suspicion and attempts to uncover his identity.
  • Old Scholar’s deduction of the Faceless Stone Statue triggers Yellow Sand Woman’s jealousy, prompting Liu Chengfeng to calm her and promise to avenge the slight.

Ch. 745Fight the Genesis God

Chapter Summary: Fight the Genesis God

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng allows Ye Huijian to enter the battle against the Genesis God, the Old Scholar, within his sequence.

  • She uses techniques such as the Supreme Yin Body, rot and decay, the Myriad Dao Palm, and Entropy Fracture. These attacks destroy supreme beings, dimensions, and worlds, but the Genesis God restores everything instantly through the power of the sequence.
  • Six supreme beings surround and suppress Ye Huijian, yet she remains defiant, challenging them to send even more opponents. She proudly identifies herself as the divine official of the First Divine Emperor of All Ages.
  • Xuanshi, an invincible expert from the Qingmeng Sequence, joins Ye Huijian. Together, they engage numerous supreme beings in a massive Sequence War.
  • The Old Scholar ends the battle by recalling his forces and expelling Ye Huijian and Xuanshi from the sequence, saving them from certain death.
  • Liu Chengfeng then personally challenges the Old Scholar. The Genesis God isolates him in a specially created battlefield and attempts to suppress him with absolute authority.
  • Liu Chengfeng withstands the suppression by activating nine Creation Godheads, the Kingdom of Truth, the World Tree, the Yin-Yang Sea, and three great sequences. Through the Sole Self Divine Path, he enters a state beyond ordinary perception and cannot be suppressed even within the Old Scholar’s sequence.
  • The Old Scholar is shocked by Liu Chengfeng’s power and the number of sequences and Creation Godheads he possesses.
  • The Old Scholar transforms the battlefield into the Demon Hell, summoning countless evil spirits, dead supreme beings, fallen experts, and remnants of destroyed existences.
  • Liu Chengfeng welcomes the challenge and destroys the demonic tide with the End Body and Technique Unbinding—Tide of Withering, whose power is vastly amplified inside the sequence.

Character Developments

  • Ye Huijian demonstrates immense growth and combat ability. Though her personal cultivation is not yet sufficient to fight at the level of the Unknowable and Unhearable, her mastery of multiple sequences and the Sole Self Divine Path allows her to challenge supreme beings directly.
  • Her confidence becomes almost arrogant, but it is backed by genuine strength. She eagerly seeks stronger opponents and views the Sequence War as an opportunity for further advancement.
  • Xuanshi is introduced as a powerful and respected expert from the Qingmeng Sequence. He is eager to participate in the war and shows respect toward Ye Huijian because of her special status.
  • Liu Chengfeng moves from supporting Ye Huijian to taking center stage. His confidence, recklessness, and contempt for the Old Scholar reveal his willingness to confront even a Genesis God directly.
  • Liu Chengfeng’s true strength is revealed: despite having only one measure of cultivation, his nine Creation Godheads and control over three sequences allow him to temporarily wield power beyond conventional limits.
  • The Old Scholar is established as a terrifying Genesis God. Within his own sequence, he can resurrect destroyed worlds and beings, manipulate reality with words, isolate battlefields, and summon entire hells. Nevertheless, Liu Chengfeng’s power surprises and unsettles him.

Significant Themes

  • The overwhelming authority of a Genesis God: Within its own sequence, a Genesis God can restore the dead, remake reality, and make both beings and worlds effectively immortal.
  • Defiance against absolute power: Ye Huijian and Liu Chengfeng refuse to submit, repeatedly challenging opponents who appear fundamentally unbeatable.
  • Power through combination and external support: Ye Huijian’s strength comes from stacking multiple sequences and divine paths, while Liu Chengfeng draws on Creation Godheads and the power of entire sequences.
  • Immortality versus destruction: The chapter repeatedly contrasts the Genesis God’s ability to restore everything with Ye Huijian’s and Liu Chengfeng’s destructive techniques, especially Entropy Fracture and the Tide of Withering.
  • Pride and reputation: Ye Huijian fights to uphold the prestige of the First Divine Emperor of All Ages, while Liu Chengfeng openly insults and provokes the Old Scholar to assert his own dominance.
  • Sequence warfare: The battle expands beyond individual combat into a conflict between vast cosmic systems, with sequences functioning as sources of power, identity, and authority.

Character Interactions

  • Liu Chengfeng empowers and directs Ye Huijian, praising her attacks while ultimately recalling her when the battle becomes too dangerous.
  • Ye Huijian openly taunts the supreme beings, challenging them to bring more opponents and declaring her allegiance to the First Divine Emperor.
  • Xuanshi respectfully asks Ye Huijian for permission to join the battle, and she grants him a place beside her.
  • Xuanshi calls out Tiangeng, seeking a direct duel, but the opposing side sends multiple supreme beings instead.
  • Empress Weifeng and Forbidden God admire the battle and wish to participate, while Heavenly Dragon and others are shaken by the scale of the Sequence War.
  • The Old Scholar forcibly ends Ye Huijian and Xuanshi’s battle, then summons Huang Shuang and attempts to draw the Faceless Stone Statue into the conflict.
  • Liu Chengfeng mocks the Old Scholar, claiming he has come to teach the Old Scholar’s son, Little Western Heaven, a lesson. The Old Scholar responds with overwhelming suppression, beginning their direct confrontation.

Ch. 746The Terror of the Creator God

Chapter Summary: “The Terror of the Creator God”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng launches a devastating assault on Demon Hell, confronting hundreds of millions of evil ghosts, colossal giants, and the departed Unknowable and Unhearable.
  • He cycles through several overwhelming techniques:
    • World of Decay, which immobilizes and destroys the evil ghosts.
    • Heaven-Destroying Phenomenon, which crushes the giants and shatters dimensions and the Heaven-Earth Source.
    • Endless Solar Blaze, which transforms everything—including beings, laws, time, space, karma, and eventually Demon Hell itself—into true fire and ash.
  • After destroying Demon Hell, Liu Chengfeng confronts the Supreme Divine Court, summoned by the Old Scholar. Its sovereigns attempt to suppress him through control over time, space, karma, life, and death.
  • Liu counters their authority with overwhelming quantity rather than superior principles:
    • He expands suns and moons until they crush space and time.
    • He creates countless stars and karmic connections, drowning the Sovereign of Karma.
    • He generates endless galaxies, lives, and deaths, overwhelming the Sovereign of Life and Death.
  • Liu’s Heaven’s Judgment forces the sovereigns to kneel, while his Blood-Origin Curse: Extinction annihilates them and spreads destruction through bloodlines, inheritances, karmic ties, and even connected sequences.
  • The Old Scholar is forced to personally intervene. Liu uses the Heavenly Dao True Bow to break through every distance, concealment, and division, exposing and striking him.
  • The Old Scholar finally reveals himself as the Creator God of his sequence: a scholarly, horned being capable of creating and destroying all things with a thought.
  • The Old Scholar creates an Unbreachable Shield, declaring it untouchable and unbreakable. Liu’s extinction curse, Endless Solar Blaze, and Lawless Domain all fail against it.
  • Liu then draws the Karma Blade and unleashes a series of Sequence-Severing Slashes. Each strike progressively damages the supposedly unbreakable shield.
  • With the final slash, Liu cuts through “unbreakability” itself and cleaves the Old Scholar in two.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng displays immense confidence, aggression, and battle hunger. He is not relying on absolute invincibility but on overwhelming scale, endless quantity, and relentless escalation.
  • His fighting style develops from broad annihilation to increasingly precise attacks against the Old Scholar’s fundamental authority.
  • Liu’s excitement grows as he encounters a true opponent. Rather than fearing the Creator God, he welcomes the battle as a chance to temper and perfect his killing techniques.
  • The Old Scholar progresses from distant controller to direct combatant. Initially, he uses the Supreme Divine Court and its sovereigns to suppress Liu while remaining concealed.
  • Once exposed, the Old Scholar demonstrates terrifying creative authority, creating defenses and asserting absolute laws within his sequence.
  • Despite his confidence in his own “unbreakable” creation, the Old Scholar becomes increasingly alarmed as Liu’s Karma Blade damages and eventually severs the shield.

Significant Themes

  • Overwhelming quantity versus absolute authority: Liu defeats powers that govern concepts by producing such vast amounts of time, karma, life, death, and cosmic phenomena that their authority becomes unmanageable.
  • The limits of invulnerability: The Old Scholar insists that what he creates cannot be broken, but Liu challenges the idea that any defense can be truly absolute.
  • Creation versus destruction: The Old Scholar represents creation, order, and control within his sequence, while Liu relies on decay, fire, extinction, and severance.
  • Escalation through battle: Liu becomes stronger and more exhilarated as the conflict intensifies, treating the battle as a test and refinement of his ultimate techniques.
  • The power of conceptual attacks: The final confrontation moves beyond physical destruction; Liu’s blade severs time, space, karma, yin and yang, sequences, and finally the very concept of “unbreakability.”

Character Interactions

  • Liu taunts and challenges the Old Scholar throughout the battle, mocking his reliance on created sovereigns and defenses.
  • The Old Scholar attempts to protect the Supreme Divine Court, purify Liu’s curse, and sever its spread before personally entering the fight.
  • Their conflict becomes a direct ideological clash: the Old Scholar claims that his creative authority makes his shield untouchable, while Liu insists that nothing is truly unbreakable.
  • The chapter ends with Liu’s decisive victory in the exchange: his Sequence-Severing Slash breaks through the Creator God’s ultimate defense and splits the Old Scholar in two.

Ch. 747Immortal and Indestructible

Chapter Summary: “Immortal and Indestructible”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng battles Old Scholar, a supreme Creator God protected within his own sequence.
  • Liu’s Sequence-Severing Slash initially cleaves Old Scholar in half, but Old Scholar immediately restores himself, demonstrating his immortality and indestructibility.
  • Old Scholar creates an Unbreakable Shield, repeatedly strengthening it across the past, present, and future. Liu’s first two “Unknowing” slashes are blocked.
  • Liu then unleashes Sequence-Severing Slash: Eternity, empowered by the fully realized Sole Self Divine Path and the state of the Unknowable and Unhearable. The strike surpasses Old Scholar’s absolute defenses, splits him apart, and leaves a lasting wound that even his regeneration cannot erase.
  • Old Scholar responds with his greatest power: the Heaven-Knowing Divine Path, the Heavenly Book, and the True Self Divine Technique All-Knowing Heaven-Exhausting Technique. Within his sequence, his knowledge and spoken laws can halt attacks, create defenses, and make his intentions reality.
  • Liu’s “Eternity” slash is unable to cut through the endless layers of Old Scholar’s omniscience and creation. Old Scholar’s power traps and overwhelms the attack rather than simply resisting it.
  • Challenged to reveal more of his strength, Liu unleashes the complete form of the Sole Self Divine Path, overwhelming even the sequence itself.
  • He abandons his blade and attacks with the

Sumeru Heavenly Origin Fist

  1. Mustard Seed, One Sumeru: Three Thousand Great Universes—fills the sequence with innumerable universes.
  2. Severing the Source of Heaven and Earth—splits apart Old Scholar’s infinite defenses and the structure of the sequence.
  3. Immortally Exhausting Dimensions—pierces through and shatters everything in its path.
  • The third punch blasts Old Scholar away and destroys his divine officials and generals. However, Old Scholar uses Resurrection and Return to Origin to restore them, proving that the battle is far from over.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng displays escalating confidence and battle frenzy. His abilities evolve from powerful sword techniques into the fully manifested Sole Self Divine Path, showing that his true strength surpasses what others previously understood.
  • His successful use of Eternity establishes him as a terrifying threat even to Creator Gods. He becomes capable of seriously injuring beings thought to be absolutely immortal.
  • Old Scholar shifts from arrogant confidence to genuine recognition of Liu’s danger. He remains calm and resourceful, revealing deeper abilities rather than relying solely on regeneration and defense.
  • Old Scholar demonstrates that his strength comes not only from durability but from omniscient creation, absolute laws, and the ability to revive everything under his authority.
  • Abo, Yellow Sand Woman, and the Faceless Stone Statue react with growing shock and admiration. Abo is especially excited by Liu’s victories, while the Stone Statue recognizes that Liu’s ultimate power is finally taking shape.

Significant Themes

  • Immortality versus transcendence: Old Scholar can regenerate from total destruction, yet Liu’s Eternity leaves a wound that even immortality cannot fully erase.
  • Limitless creation versus absolute severance: Old Scholar counters Liu’s ability to cut through anything by endlessly creating new layers of knowledge, laws, defenses, and possibilities.
  • The danger of hidden power: Both combatants reveal that their previously known ultimate techniques were not their full strength.
  • Individual supremacy: Liu’s Sole Self Divine Path embodies the belief that a single being’s path can surpass all external systems, sequences, and established hierarchies.
  • Escalation and mutual recognition: The battle progresses from boasts and simple exchanges into a confrontation between two beings whose powers challenge the limits of reality itself.

Character Interactions

  • Abo openly cheers for Liu’s slash despite his past friendship with Old Scholar, delighting in seeing the Creator God wounded.
  • Liu repeatedly taunts Old Scholar, insisting that even an immortal Creator God can be chopped apart.
  • Old Scholar responds with pride and defiance, first claiming absolute indestructibility and later challenging Liu to reveal further techniques.
  • Their exchange evolves from mutual contempt into wary respect: Old Scholar acknowledges Liu as an unprecedented monster, while Liu recognizes that Old Scholar has not yet shown his full strength.
  • The observers’ reactions emphasize the unprecedented nature of the fight, especially when Liu’s Eternity wounds Old Scholar and later when his fists break through seemingly infinite defenses.

Ch. 748Eternal Unique Body

Chapter 747: Eternal Unique Body — Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Old Scholar attempts to expel Liu Chengfeng from the sequence, but Liu refuses to leave and counters with the

Homeward Path Calamity-Quelling Art: “I Alone Illuminate All Worlds.”

  • Liu’s fourth punch suppresses Old Scholar’s authority, calamity, and will, destroying countless worlds and blasting the Creator God away. However, Old Scholar resurrects and restores everything through his Creator God powers.
  • Old Scholar retrieves and repairs the Ignorance Sword, then uses the Heavenly Book and the Chaos Deathless Canon to create a second version of himself.
  • The second Old Scholar’s power is extremely dangerous: he can be born from any “source,” including Liu himself. Since Liu is the source of his existence, the Ignorance Sword can enter Liu’s body as though it were reclaiming something that originated within him.
  • Liu initially expels the sword with the Sole Self Divine Path, but Old Scholar’s two bodies coordinate their attacks. One suppresses Liu directly while the other repeatedly tries to return him to chaos and use him as a source.
  • Liu unveils his ultimate defensive state, Source Unbinding: the Eternal Unique Body, supported by the Heaven-Subduing Tower. His body becomes perfectly fused with truth, mortal-world power, and heavenly treasure.
  • Old Scholar unleashes every form of destruction, annihilation, suppression, weakening, and technique-decaying attack, while his second self continues using the Ignorance Sword. None of these methods can penetrate or damage Liu’s body.
  • Observers such as Yellow Sand Woman, Abo, and the Faceless Stone Statue are stunned that Liu has surpassed beings at the Unknowable and Unhearable level.
  • Old Scholar eventually identifies the weakness of the Eternal Unique Body: although it is absolutely indestructible while active, it consumes enormous blood energy and divine power and cannot be maintained for long.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng displays overwhelming confidence and battle hunger. He refuses to be expelled and demonstrates that, in his current state, he can suppress even Creator Gods.
  • His greatest advancement is the Eternal Unique Body, which temporarily places him beyond all offensive methods and makes him effectively invincible.
  • Liu’s nature as an embodiment of infinite possibilities becomes clearer. The Faceless Stone Statue explains that he can alter rules and possibilities across the past, present, and future, making supposedly impossible things possible.
  • Old Scholar reveals a terrifying new path through the Chaos Deathless Canon. By creating a second self from any source, he finds a method capable of bypassing Liu’s ordinary defenses.
  • Despite this innovation, Old Scholar is forced to acknowledge Liu’s superior defense and must rely on endurance rather than direct destruction.
  • Yellow Sand Woman, Abo, and the Faceless Stone Statue react with fear, disbelief, and resignation to Liu’s growing power. They recognize him as the Primeval Ominous Sign and worry about the consequences if he begins rewriting reality recklessly.

Significant Themes

  • Absolute power versus hidden limitations: Liu’s body appears completely unbreakable, but even the strongest defense has a cost and a limited duration.
  • Infinite possibility and the rewriting of reality: Liu’s existence challenges the laws of what can or cannot exist. His future potential allows him to alter rules rather than merely obey them.
  • Source and identity: Old Scholar’s second self exploits the idea that everything originates from a source, turning Liu’s own existence into a vulnerability.
  • Escalation beyond established limits: Both Liu and Old Scholar create paths that should not be possible within the mortal world, demonstrating the collapse of conventional boundaries.
  • Fear of uncontrolled power: The onlookers worry that Liu’s madness or future transformations could trigger catastrophic backlash and produce countless ultimate calamities.

Character Interactions

  • Liu repeatedly taunts Old Scholar, insisting that no one can force him to leave and inviting him to continue fighting.
  • Old Scholar responds by combining direct Creator God attacks with the second self’s source-based sword technique.
  • Liu’s refusal to submit contrasts with Old Scholar’s increasingly cautious and analytical approach as he searches for the Eternal Unique Body’s weakness.
  • The observing powers debate Liu’s nature and potential consequences. Abo fears the destruction he might cause, Yellow Sand Woman resents his unfair advantage, and the Faceless Stone Statue recognizes that Liu is effectively a “cheat” existing across time.
  • The chapter ends with Old Scholar’s discovery that Liu’s invincibility is temporary, giving the surrounding characters a measure of relief and setting up the next stage of the battle.

Ch. 749Sole Self Edge!

Plot points

  • The Old Scholar stalls until Liu Chengfeng’s Eternal Unique Body expires, hoping his strength will collapse. Liu reveals a stronger technique: Source Unbinding, Eternity.
  • Liu locks his Eternal state in place, making it permanent. His Sole Self Divine Path and three Sequences rise to an unprecedented level, and everyone connected to them is elevated with him.
  • The Old Scholar tries creation’s power, the Ignorance Sword, and other tactics, but cannot harm Liu, find a weakness, or escape. Liu even uses the time to study the Old Scholar’s techniques and devise a new sword art.
  • Liu then attacks inside the Old Scholar’s Sequence. Though the Old Scholar can revive himself and his forces as its Creator God, Liu repeatedly smashes them apart before they can respond.
  • Liu forms the Sole Self Edge from the True Self, Qingmeng, and Primordial Sequences, preparing his ultimate technique, Only I Remain. The exposed Sky-Knowledge Sequence may now be vulnerable to a blow capable of killing even its Creator God. The chapter ends with the Old Scholar unwilling to risk the strike.

  • Liu Chengfeng moves from relying on a temporary burst of power to attaining seemingly limitless, fixed Eternity. His confidence becomes near-manic: he toys with the Old Scholar, beats him repeatedly, and eagerly considers risking his ultimate attack.
  • The Old Scholar shifts from calculated patience and confidence in his Creator God privileges to fear and hesitation. Though he can recover endlessly inside his Sequence, Liu’s new weapon threatens to overcome that protection.
  • Abo, Yellow Sand Woman, and the others are stunned by Liu’s transformation and alarmed by his willingness to gamble everything. The Faceless Stone Statue stops them from intervening, judging that Liu is too volatile to approach carelessly.
  • Liu frames the beating as punishment on behalf of the Old Scholar’s son, turning their fight into both a cosmic contest and a personal reckoning.

Significant themes

  • Transcendence and self-determination: Liu becomes a being who can surpass the limits of time, space, causality, and possibility.
  • The limits of power: The Old Scholar’s apparent invulnerability within his own Sequence is challenged by an attack that may destroy the Sequence itself.
  • Risk and uncertainty: Eternity seems to leave Liu without a weakness, but the decisive strike introduces a gamble whose outcome neither opponent can guarantee.
  • Power’s wider consequences: Liu’s ascent lifts everyone within his Sequences, showing how a single being’s transformation can reshape an entire world.

Ch. 750Origin of the Hidden Blade

Chapter 749 Summary: “Origin of the Hidden Blade”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Old Scholar concedes defeat after Liu Chengfeng threatens to use “Only I Remain,” a devastating weapon capable of destroying entire sequences. Liu admits he mainly wanted a satisfying battle and to test whether one or multiple strikes would be necessary.
  • To appease Liu, Old Scholar creates a magnificent immortal realm and hosts a lavish feast filled with delicacies, music, dancing, and beautiful immortal maidens.
  • Liu enjoys the feast while teasing Old Scholar, though he refuses to take any of the maidens with him. Old Scholar also attempts to contact the hidden Faceless Stone Statue and Abo, but both ignore him.
  • After eating, Liu demands the Ignorance Sword, which Old Scholar reluctantly gives him. The sword had previously been broken and repaired by Old Scholar, though it remains scarred from the Blade of Ultimate Edge.
  • Liu reveals that he deliberately returned the sword earlier so Old Scholar would repair it. He has also learned a new sword technique, the Carefree Sword Art, and intends to combine it with the Ignorance Sword.
  • When Liu asks what damaged the sword, Old Scholar identifies the weapon as a Blade of Ultimate Edge, connecting it to the mysterious being known as Hidden Blade.
  • Old Scholar explains that Hidden Blade is both a person and a blade, sharing the same name. The entity was apparently born with profound hatred and resentment and is said to possess the will to slaughter everything.
  • Liu then presses Old Scholar about his own cultivation path, the Chaos Deathless Canon, suspecting that Old Scholar has concealed its true foundation. When Old Scholar gives only a superficial explanation, Liu threatens to beat the truth out of him.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng is shown to be increasingly powerful, reckless, and destructive. He enjoys testing his strength and openly embraces the freedom to destroy worlds and overturn time and space. Beneath his playful behavior, however, he remains perceptive and suspicious, quickly recognizing when Old Scholar is withholding information.
  • Old Scholar suffers a major loss of dignity. Though he is a Creator God with immense knowledge and power, he is intimidated and humiliated by Liu’s overwhelming strength. He becomes unusually submissive, attempting to placate Liu with hospitality and gifts while carefully avoiding revealing his deepest secrets.
  • Abo, Yellow Sand Woman, and the Faceless Stone Statue all view Liu as dangerous and absurd, sharing irritation at his destructive personality. Abo in particular takes satisfaction in Old Scholar’s misfortune.
  • Hidden Blade develops as a major mystery. It is established as both a legendary weapon and an enigmatic person whose innate hatred and resentment may be central to the larger conflict.

Significant Themes

  • Power and intimidation: Even a Creator God can be forced into submission when confronted with an unpredictable opponent capable of destroying entire sequences.
  • Destruction as indulgence: Liu treats catastrophic power almost like entertainment, revealing the dangers of giving absolute strength to someone with a violent, playful temperament.
  • Secrets and concealed origins: The chapter emphasizes that even seemingly all-knowing beings such as Old Scholar have knowledge hidden from them, particularly regarding Hidden Blade and the true roots of their own paths.
  • Weapons as extensions of identity: The Ignorance Sword and Hidden Blade are not merely tools; both are tied to deeper origins, philosophies, and personal histories.
  • Knowledge versus control: Old Scholar’s vast learning cannot protect him from Liu’s forceful questioning, showing that intellectual superiority does not necessarily translate into practical dominance.

Important Character Interactions

  • Liu Chengfeng and Old Scholar: Their relationship is defined by intimidation, mockery, and reluctant cooperation. Liu repeatedly threatens Old Scholar, while Old Scholar tries to appease him without surrendering every secret.
  • Liu Chengfeng and the Ignorance Sword: Liu claims the sword as both a reward and a weapon for his developing sword arts, intending to bring it into the Heavenly Origin if possible.
  • Liu Chengfeng and the hidden figures: He tries to use Old Scholar to uncover the identities of Yellow Sand Woman, the Faceless Stone Statue, and Abo, though they largely refuse to engage.
  • Liu Chengfeng and Hidden Blade’s mystery: Old Scholar’s explanation gives Liu a new target of curiosity: the origin of a being whose hatred is so deep that it can manifest as a blade capable of cutting everything.
  • Liu Chengfeng and Old Scholar’s Dao: The chapter ends with Liu forcing Old Scholar toward a revelation about the true foundation of the Chaos Deathless Canon, threatening violence if Old Scholar continues to evade the question.

Ch. 751Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Chapter Summary: “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Old Scholar reveals that he created a new cultivation path to escape the End of Sequence, the final calamity that has repeatedly destroyed beings such as Jieyin Immortal.
  • His plan was to reset himself to zero, erase his existing identity and traces, and leave his Sequence behind. His son was born from that Sequence, inheriting Old Scholar’s power and legacy.
  • Liu Chengfeng realizes that Old Scholar effectively intended to use his son and the Sequence as a form of “golden cicada shedding its shell”—sacrificing them while Old Scholar escaped elsewhere and sought a mysterious source, possibly the origin or starting point of all things.
  • Old Scholar’s son eventually discovered the truth and destroyed himself, preventing Old Scholar’s plan from succeeding.
  • Old Scholar had also preserved reincarnations of himself inside the Return-to-Origin Beast’s skull as a backup. If his reset failed, these remnants could allow him to revive and potentially reclaim his Sequence.
  • Liu Chengfeng deduces that Dongguo Xiansheng used Old Scholar’s son as bait to lure out the Return-to-Origin Beast, devour Old Scholar’s reincarnations, and investigate Old Scholar’s path.
  • Old Scholar explains that Dongguo Xiansheng is an extremely unusual existence: he is neither an Unknowable and Unhearable nor the possessor of a Sequence, yet he is not clearly weaker than them.
  • Dongguo Xiansheng does not seem to belong to the mortal world. His traces are obscured by a terrifying force that makes him impossible to investigate or deduce.
  • The mysterious source was not created or discovered by Old Scholar. Its earliest known connection may date back to the Tianzheng Era and the Tianzheng Sequence. Tianzheng may have sought the source or something connected to it, possibly under Dongguo Xiansheng’s influence.
  • Old Scholar concludes that Dongguo Xiansheng does not truly travel through time. Instead, he can exist only in the present moment—“today.” When the present was the Tianzheng Era, he appeared then; now, he can appear only in the current age. He cannot exist in yesterday or tomorrow and may disappear from the present entirely.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng becomes increasingly suspicious and perceptive, exposing the selfish motives hidden behind Old Scholar’s claims of love and sacrifice. He reconstructs Old Scholar’s entire scheme through sharp questioning and deduction.
  • Old Scholar is forced to confess the darker aspects of his plan. Though he insists that his son was not merely a puppet, his evasive answers reveal that survival and escape from the End of Sequence mattered more to him than genuine paternal affection.
  • Old Scholar’s son is shown to have achieved agency and resisted being used. By destroying himself, he denied Old Scholar control over the Sequence and disrupted the entire plan.
  • Dongguo Xiansheng becomes a major mystery. He is portrayed as a powerful, elusive figure whose nature lies outside the known categories of existence and whose relationship with Tianzheng and Old Scholar remains uncertain.
  • Yellow Sand Woman lightly mocks the similarity between Dongguo Xiansheng’s concealment and Liu Chengfeng’s own mysterious ability to remain beyond deduction, provoking Liu’s defensive reaction.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue and Yellow Sand Woman become more attentive once the discussion turns to time, Dongguo Xiansheng, and the nature of “today.”

Significant Themes

  • Immortality and escape from destruction: The powerful beings of the setting are not satisfied with immortality; they seek ways to avoid the deeper, inevitable End of Sequence.
  • The cost of transcendence: Old Scholar’s attempt to abandon his identity requires sacrificing his Sequence, his son, and possibly countless versions of himself.
  • Parental love versus manipulation: Liu Chengfeng challenges Old Scholar’s claim that granting his son a Sequence was an act of love, exposing it as a potential method of control.
  • Identity and rebirth: Resetting oneself to zero, preserving reincarnations, and creating a successor all raise questions about whether continuity of power constitutes true survival.
  • Knowledge and uncertainty: Even Old Scholar, despite his immense learning, cannot fully understand the source or Dongguo Xiansheng. The chapter emphasizes the limits of deduction.
  • Time and existence: Dongguo Xiansheng’s connection to “today” introduces a strange model of temporal existence in which he does not travel through time but can only manifest in whichever moment is currently the present.
  • Deception and hidden motives: Nearly every explanation is layered with schemes, backup plans, and concealed intentions. Liu’s interrogation repeatedly reveals that the apparent story is not the whole truth.

Important Character Interactions

  • Liu Chengfeng interrogates Old Scholar and refuses to be distracted by vague explanations about the End of Sequence or the source.
  • Their exchange becomes openly confrontational when Liu accuses Old Scholar of using his son as a puppet and a sacrifice.
  • Old Scholar repeatedly attempts to justify his actions, but his silence and awkwardness strengthen Liu’s accusations.
  • Liu links Dongguo Xiansheng’s actions to Old Scholar’s failed plan, suggesting that both figures were investigating and potentially exploiting one another.
  • Yellow Sand Woman teases Liu by comparing his mysterious concealment to Dongguo Xiansheng’s unknowable nature. Liu angrily rejects the comparison, insisting that he is visibly present in the current world and era.
  • The conversation ends with Liu, Yellow Sand Woman, and the Faceless Stone Statue seriously considering Old Scholar’s conclusion that Dongguo Xiansheng can exist only in the ever-changing present: today, but never yesterday or tomorrow.

Ch. 752Eternal Road

Eternal Road — Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng and the others investigate the mysterious nature of Dongguo Xiansheng. Liu theorizes that Dongguo does not exist continuously through time, but can only appear on the “newest day” of the temporal river—or disappear entirely.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue, Abo, and Yellow Sand Woman are unable to determine Dongguo’s origins or cultivation level. They conclude that he is probably not above the Unknowable and Unhearable realm, since otherwise he would likely have directly confronted Old Scholar.
  • Old Scholar suggests that Dongguo may be seeking the source connected to Liu Chengfeng’s new path, perhaps hoping to escape or transform whatever limitations bind his existence and become a true Creator God.
  • Old Scholar reveals a theory that the source they seek may be connected to the Order-of-Life Source and the True Source Abode. Liu questions how an orderly source could relate to the primordial, chaotic source they are pursuing. Old Scholar speculates that order and disorder might transform into one another through some hidden formula or pattern.
  • They discuss Tianzheng, who may once have tried to uncover the relationship or formula connecting these sources, but disappeared before completing his investigation.
  • Old Scholar asks how Liu Chengfeng cultivated his “eternity.” Liu casually claims that he simply comprehended it, shocking and irritating the others. Although they doubt whether his state is true eternity, it has clearly surpassed the boundaries of the Unknowable and Unhearable.
  • Old Scholar introduces the legend of the Eternal Road, which may be an actual place rather than a cultivation method—possibly an Eternal Land or Eternal Nation. Such a place could offer genuine immortality and potentially allow those within it to stand above all other powerful beings.
  • Yellow Sand Woman confirms that the Eternal Road probably exists, citing the words of Heaven-Made Great Tranquility, who supposedly deduced that the place exists but has no entrance. Liu becomes suspicious about how she knows this, but she refuses to explain.
  • Before Liu leaves, Old Scholar asks him to return his son, Little Western Heaven, and the Return-to-Origin Beast to his sequence. Liu refuses, accusing Old Scholar of wanting to turn his son into a puppet again. He insists that the two should remain free outside Old Scholar’s control.
  • After leaving the Sky-Knowledge Sequence, Liu uses his Eternal True-Knowledge Eye to examine spacetime and causality. He senses that something is wrong with the Spacetime Causality Line, though he cannot identify the source. Yellow Sand Woman blames Liu, suggesting his actions may have caused the disturbance.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng displays growing confidence in his self-created eternal state. His arrogance and theatrical self-assurance increase, but his insight into spacetime and causality also proves genuine.
  • Old Scholar is shown to possess extensive knowledge but remains secretive and manipulative. He is embarrassed by Liu’s ridicule yet reveals important theories about the source, the Eternal Road, and the nature of eternity. His attempt to reclaim his son exposes his continuing desire for control.
  • Yellow Sand Woman becomes an important source of hidden knowledge, particularly concerning the Eternal Road and the words of Heaven-Made Great Tranquility. Her refusal to explain her connection to that information creates further mystery.
  • Dongguo Xiansheng remains an enigmatic and possibly abnormal existence, apparently detached from ordinary temporal continuity.
  • Little Western Heaven and the Return-to-Origin Beast are positioned as beings whose freedom may conflict with Old Scholar’s ambitions.

Significant Themes

  • The nature of existence and time: Dongguo’s ability to appear only at the newest point in time challenges ordinary ideas of continuity, identity, and causality.
  • Order versus chaos: The possible relationship between the Order-of-Life Source and the primordial disorderly source raises questions about whether order and disorder can transform into one another.
  • True eternity versus constructed immortality: Liu’s personal eternal state is contrasted with the rumored Eternal Road, suggesting that there may be multiple forms or levels of eternity.
  • Freedom versus control: Liu’s refusal to return Old Scholar’s son reflects his opposition to Old Scholar’s exploitative and controlling nature.
  • Hidden knowledge and incomplete understanding: Nearly every major mystery—the Eternal Road, Dongguo’s origins, the source, and the Spacetime Causality Line—remains only partially understood.
  • Pride and power: Liu’s confident boasting is comedic but also signals that he may genuinely be approaching a realm beyond the established limits of cultivation.

Character Interactions

  • Liu repeatedly challenges and mocks Old Scholar, forcing him to reveal information while exposing his hypocrisy.
  • Old Scholar attempts to flatter and persuade Liu, first by calling him “Sir” and later by appealing to father-son affection, but Liu sees through his motives.
  • Liu consults the Faceless Stone Statue, Abo, and Yellow Sand Woman about Dongguo and the Eternal Road, though none can fully explain the mysteries.
  • Yellow Sand Woman’s final accusation that Liu caused the abnormality in spacetime ends the chapter on an ominous note, implying that his growing power or recent actions may have consequences beyond his understanding.

Ch. 753The Butterfly Flaps Its Wings

Key plot points and events

  • Yellow Sand Woman argues that Liu Chengfeng’s journey through the Spacetime Causality Line has influenced history, even if he has not deliberately changed it. The Faceless Stone Statue warns him to be cautious as a fixed point in time.
  • Liu proposes a small experiment: throwing objects he no longer needs into the countless causality lines. With the Stone Statue’s approval, he casts away powerful items, including the Thunder Sound Staff and Fierce Heaven Sword.
  • Returning his Primordial Spirit to his body, Liu is overwhelmed by pain. His ordinary body cannot withstand the Eternal State; the others reveal they barely managed to keep it from disintegrating.
  • They repair him with Supreme Power. Liu discovers that sustaining the Eternal State indefinitely would turn life and worlds across the three Sequences—including his companions—into puppets, so he cannot remain in it without catastrophic consequences.
  • Liu checks on the Return-to-Origin Beast and Little Western Heaven, seals their imprints, and leaves their futures to chance. He and Yellow Sand Woman then plan to toss more objects into the causality lines.
  • Elsewhere, Old Scholar hurriedly changes location and seals himself away, fearing Liu may return and attack again.

Character developments

  • Liu Chengfeng shows both immense power and restraint. Though tempted to meddle with history, he limits his actions to a seemingly harmless prank. His recklessness has a physical cost, reminding him that he is still a First-Rank True God, not truly eternal.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue acts as Liu’s patient, protective guide. She indulges his harmless curiosity but also explains the dangers of forcing his growth or remaining in the Eternal State.
  • Yellow Sand Woman shifts from warning Liu about his influence to egging him on. She enjoys provoking him and teasing him, while remaining curious about his power.
  • Abo is the cautious voice among them, wary of the possible consequences.
  • Old Scholar remains afraid of Liu’s strength and takes precautions against him.

Significant themes

  • Power and responsibility: Even small actions by someone powerful may ripple across time and worlds.
  • Restraint and consequences: Liu chooses not to exploit his full power, while his damaged body demonstrates the cost of exceeding his limits.
  • Growth cannot be forced: The Stone Statue argues that Liu must develop along his own path rather than receive an imposed Supreme Body.
  • Mischief and companionship: The group’s teasing and shared schemes provide warmth and humor amid cosmic stakes.

Character interactions

  • Yellow Sand Woman challenges Liu’s claim that he has not altered history, then becomes his accomplice in the experiment.
  • The Faceless Stone Statue balances the others’ impulses: she gently guides Liu, approves a limited act of curiosity, and protects him after his body collapses.
  • Liu trades barbs with Yellow Sand Woman, boasts about the Eternal State, and jokes about having his companions forge him a Supreme Body.
  • Abo questions whether Liu’s power can last, while the Stone Statue draws out the dangerous cost of sustaining it.
  • Yellow Sand Woman and Liu quietly conspire to throw more objects into the timelines, as the Stone Statue watches with amusement.

Ch. 754Especially Thrilling

Chapter Summary — “Especially Thrilling”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • After the devastating Sequence War, Liu Chengfeng returns from the Calamity Disk and Ancestral Land. Heavenly Dragon, Seven Yin Moon, Black Emperor, Pimp, White-Cloth Heavenly Corpse, Big Eyes, Ghost Shadow, and the others are still recovering from the shock and injuries of participating in the battle.
  • The group eagerly asks Liu Chengfeng what fighting in a Sequence War—and battling a Creator God—felt like. His exaggerated description makes the experience sound unintentionally suggestive, creating a comic moment.
  • Liu Chengfeng reminds the injured powerhouses that they still have a chance to recover, break through their limits, and fight again. His encouragement reignites their confidence and fighting spirit.
  • The group resolves to cultivate harder by activating divine vows, condensing divine abilities, and drawing upon higher planes. They hope to regain their former strength and become worthy of joining Liu Chengfeng in future Sequence Wars.
  • Liu Chengfeng returns to the Thunderwind Dynasty, where Thunderwind Saint Emperor enthusiastically flatters and clings to him. Ling Mo reports on the dynasty’s affairs, including her management of the Imperial Gate, the High Mountain Giant God Domain, and the Hundred Families Jue Alliance.
  • The Endless Treasure Land has recently attracted an enormous number of True Gods, including forces from outside Taiyao and Desolate Thunder’s territories. The cause is a rumor that Cosmic Power has appeared there.
  • Liu Chengfeng suspects the rumor was deliberately spread. Thunderwind Saint Emperor believes Nine-Crown Emperor is responsible, arguing that his unexplained motives and claims of acting for Jingjue’s safety are suspicious.
  • Liu Chengfeng decides to investigate personally. Thunderwind Saint Emperor tries to accompany him, citing an ancient Supreme Well supposedly connected to Cosmic Power, but Liu Chengfeng refuses and enters the Endless Treasure Land alone.
  • Inside, Liu Chengfeng finds an immense, shattered void filled with dangerous spatial and temporal storms left by ancient battles. The sword marks left by the Ignorance Sword provide a safe route through the destruction.
  • Using the Heaven-Patrolling World-Viewing Eye, Liu Chengfeng surveys the land. His true objective is not merely the rumored Cosmic Power but the central coordinate of the World Array. Seven Yin Moon confirms that Cosmic Power is genuinely present.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng becomes more openly confident and influential after surviving the Sequence War. Though he jokes about the battle, he also acts as a leader by motivating the others and promising to bring them into future wars if they become strong enough.
  • Heavenly Dragon, Seven Yin Moon, and the other ancient powerhouses shift from arrogance and self-assurance to humility. Having witnessed the overwhelming might of the Sequence, they recognize their own limitations and become determined to improve.
  • Black Emperor reveals a particularly complicated personal conflict: his greatest opponent may be another version of himself, someone who understands him better than he understands himself.
  • Thunderwind Saint Emperor continues to rely on shameless flattery and submission to maintain Liu Chengfeng’s favor. His behavior is comic but also reflects his fear of losing Liu Chengfeng’s protection.
  • Ling Mo is established as a highly capable administrator who manages the dynasty’s affairs efficiently in Liu Chengfeng’s absence.
  • Li Haodong remains comparatively naïve, failing to understand the political danger surrounding Nine-Crown Emperor.
  • Nine-Crown Emperor is characterized indirectly as suspicious and possibly manipulative, though his actual intentions remain unknown.

Significant Themes

  • Humility before greater power: The Sequence War demonstrates that even “unparalleled” beings are insignificant before truly transcendent forces.
  • Renewal and perseverance: Physical defeat and near-death do not end the characters’ ambitions. They intend to rebuild themselves, overcome bottlenecks, and fight again.
  • Loyalty and dependence: The former independent powerhouses now willingly follow Liu Chengfeng, while Thunderwind Saint Emperor openly treats him as the dynasty’s indispensable protector.
  • Trust and suspicion: The spread of the Cosmic Power rumor raises questions about hidden agendas, especially Nine-Crown Emperor’s unexplained actions.
  • Comedy amid danger: Liu Chengfeng’s awkward battle description and Thunderwind Saint Emperor’s shameless behavior provide humor despite the chapter’s setting of cosmic warfare and political uncertainty.
  • Ambition and opportunity: The appearance of Cosmic Power draws countless True Gods seeking advancement, suggesting that the Endless Treasure Land may become the site of a major struggle.

Important Character Interactions

  • The injured powerhouses teasingly interrogate Liu Chengfeng about the Sequence War, while he answers in a way that embarrasses the group.
  • Liu Chengfeng challenges Big Eyes and Ghost Shadow’s pessimism, encouraging them to fight again rather than surrender to their injuries.
  • Pimp explains Black Emperor’s mysterious enemy as “his own self,” hinting at Black Emperor’s unresolved inner conflict.
  • Thunderwind Saint Emperor repeatedly flatters Liu Chengfeng, while Ling Mo and Li Haodong criticize or question his excessive behavior.
  • Liu Chengfeng debates the likely source of the Cosmic Power rumor with Thunderwind Saint Emperor, weighing Nine-Crown Emperor’s suspicious silence against Thunder Mother’s more transparent conduct.
  • Thunderwind Saint Emperor attempts to follow Liu Chengfeng into the Endless Treasure Land, but Liu Chengfeng rejects him and proceeds alone.

Ch. 755Something Is Wrong

Chapter Summary: “Something Is Wrong”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Seven Yin Moon explains the past incident in which his Peerless Well suddenly unleashed immense devouring power across half the Central Region. He insists he did not intentionally devour anything and claims he quickly contained the outburst.
  • He reveals that the well may connect to unpredictable locations across worlds, planes, and even the Cosmic Sea. Its origin might wander through different realms, absorbing power whenever it makes contact.
  • The disaster began when a corpse fragment, possibly belonging to an ancient and powerful evil Buddha, fell into the well. The well absorbed it, causing its power to expand uncontrollably. Seven Yin Moon ultimately lost the Peerless Well because of the incident.
  • Liu Chengfeng senses the location of the Cosmic Power, but postpones retrieving the Peerless Well and instead travels deeper into the Endless Treasure Land.
  • The group fights through the dangerous treasure land, encountering monstrous trees, marshes, insects, and other fierce creatures. Liu Chengfeng clears a path but refuses to destroy everything, despite Heavenly Dragon and Seven Yin Moon urging him to wipe out the creatures.
  • They reach the World Array, an enormous formation created by the legendary True God Huanghun Fengyi. The array contains coordinates connected to countless worlds and has become filled with strange visions after being abandoned.
  • Liu Chengfeng encounters Mo Fanchen, who has been studying the array. Mo Fanchen leads him to a mysterious heavenly pit whose coordinates appear to point toward the legendary Land Beyond the Law.
  • Liu Chengfeng and Mo Fanchen determine that the pit is the original “World Anchor” from which the entire World Array was constructed.
  • Liu Chengfeng discovers that the site hides more than a coordinate or sequence mark: an enormous world and a powerful seal lie concealed within it. He suspects this location is connected to the escaped Dirty Fate Calamity Seed.
  • By fully activating his Heaven-Patrolling World-Viewing Eye, Liu Chengfeng begins revealing the outline of the hidden seal.

Character Developments

  • Seven Yin Moon remains defensive and embarrassed about the Peerless Well disaster, but his explanation reveals that the well may be an ancient, extraordinary treasure with connections far beyond the World Forest.
  • Heavenly Dragon continues to mock Seven Yin Moon while showing curiosity about the Peerless Well and the corpse fragment. He also demonstrates humility by admitting that he is far inferior to Huanghun Fengyi in formation mastery.
  • Liu Chengfeng displays increasing confidence and authority. He easily sees through mysteries that took Mo Fanchen a long time to deduce and remains focused on his larger objective rather than being distracted by the Peerless Well.
  • Mo Fanchen is shown to be highly capable and knowledgeable, successfully locating the mysterious pit, though he recognizes that Liu Chengfeng’s insight is on an entirely higher level.

Significant Themes

  • Unpredictable power and dangerous treasures: The Peerless Well’s uncontrollable nature demonstrates that powerful artifacts can bring disaster even to their owners.
  • Hidden histories and ancient mysteries: The possible evil Buddha corpse, the Land Beyond the Law, the World Anchor, and the sealed world all suggest deeper secrets underlying the current cosmos.
  • Limits of understanding: Even powerful figures such as Seven Yin Moon and Mo Fanchen cannot fully comprehend the objects and formations they encounter.
  • Ambition and legacy: The World Array reflects Huanghun Fengyi’s enormous ambition and enduring influence, while Liu Chengfeng follows in the path of uncovering ancient truths.
  • Suspicion and impending danger: Liu Chengfeng’s realization that “something is wrong” signals that the sealed location may be directly tied to the Dirty Fate Calamity Seed and a larger looming threat.

Character Interactions

  • Heavenly Dragon repeatedly teases and challenges Seven Yin Moon about the Peerless Well, while Seven Yin Moon responds with irritation and counterattacks.
  • Both Heavenly Dragon and Seven Yin Moon urge Liu Chengfeng to use overwhelming force against the creatures of the Endless Treasure Land, but Liu Chengfeng ignores their bloodthirsty suggestions.
  • Heavenly Dragon and Seven Yin Moon discuss the significance of the World Array, with Heavenly Dragon openly praising Huanghun Fengyi’s achievement.
  • Liu Chengfeng questions Mo Fanchen directly and quickly confirms Mo Fanchen’s deductions, establishing Liu’s superior ability to perceive and analyze the array.
  • Mo Fanchen admires Liu Chengfeng’s insight, even suggesting that Liu is not truly a First-Rank True God but a God King in disguise.

Ch. 756Mysterious Seal

Chapter Summary: “Mysterious Seal”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng activates an enormous seal within a sinkhole, causing countless runes to illuminate and cover the pit like a star-filled sky.
  • Mo Fanchen and the other powerful figures are stunned by the seal’s complexity. They determine that it is neither a True God-era nor God King-era technique.
  • Liu Chengfeng analyzes the seal and discovers that it was assembled and repaired across different eras. Its layers contain both God King-level and immortal-level power, suggesting that it was repeatedly modified over time.
  • The group realizes that Huanghun Fengyi must have secretly returned to the World Forest and added to the seal. This raises questions about why he would risk descending from a higher realm and potentially suffering complete annihilation.
  • The characters speculate that a supreme treasure may be sealed inside, though Liu Chengfeng doubts this explanation. If Huanghun Fengyi had found a treasure, he should have taken it immediately rather than returning later in secret.
  • Liu Chengfeng identifies a hidden weakness in the seal. Using the Myriad Dao Palm and Entropy Fracture, he exploits the flaw, opens a temporary crack, and enters.
  • Inside, the seal is revealed to be vastly more powerful than it appeared, containing runes capable of suppressing countless worlds, planes, and dimensions.
  • Liu Chengfeng discovers that the seal’s weakness is actually a concealed passage—a deliberate “back door” that Huanghun Fengyi may have left for himself.
  • The seal also contains traces of the mysterious Unknowable and Unhearable, suggesting that Huanghun Fengyi either received help from beings at that level or had approached their realm himself.
  • Liu Chengfeng follows the hidden current of runes into a silent void filled with dead stars and lifeless planets.
  • Crystal warns him that someone is watching. Liu Chengfeng nevertheless descends onto a dead planet, where the black soil suddenly begins shifting like flowing sand.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng demonstrates that his insight and techniques far surpass what would normally be expected of a First-Rank True God. He quickly understands the seal, finds its hidden entrance, and enters despite the danger.
  • Mo Fanchen is humbled by his inability to decipher the seal while Liu Chengfeng solves it almost immediately. He begins viewing Liu Chengfeng as an extraordinary figure capable of surpassing even the strongest experts.
  • Seven Yin Moon shifts from arrogance to regret. He initially dismisses the ruins as worthless scraps, but becomes troubled by the possibility that he overlooked a world-shaking secret.
  • The Heavenly Dragon repeatedly mocks Seven Yin Moon, though he also becomes suspicious of Huanghun Fengyi’s motives and agrees that the situation does not make sense.
  • The Black Emperor provides a logical theory that Huanghun Fengyi returned through the Land Beyond the Law while concealing his presence.
  • Crystal acts as Liu Chengfeng’s warning and support, alerting him to the unseen watcher.
  • The Yellow Sand Woman, Faceless Stone Statue, Heavenly Dragon, and the other powerful beings remain hidden within Liu Chengfeng’s protection, trusting him to handle the danger unless he calls upon them.

Significant Themes

  • Hidden motives and unresolved mysteries: Huanghun Fengyi’s return, the abandoned World Summit, and the purpose of the seal all suggest a secret more important than an ordinary treasure.
  • The limits of knowledge: Even supreme beings cannot fully understand the seal, which contains powers from multiple eras and hints at realms beyond their comprehension.
  • Dangerous pursuit of power: Huanghun Fengyi apparently risked complete destruction to return to the World Forest, emphasizing that the secret within must be extraordinarily important.
  • Arrogance and regret: Seven Yin Moon’s earlier contempt for the ruins contrasts with his later fear that he missed an unparalleled opportunity.
  • Superior insight over raw cultivation: Liu Chengfeng’s relatively low cultivation level does not prevent him from outclassing stronger experts because of his exceptional perception, techniques, and analytical ability.
  • Deliberate vulnerability: The seal’s hidden flaw suggests that apparent defenses may conceal an intended path, raising doubts about whether Liu Chengfeng is uncovering the secret or being guided toward it.

Character Interactions

  • The group collectively examines the seal, with the mysterious big shot, the madam, and others confirming that it belongs to no ordinary historical era.
  • The Heavenly Dragon ridicules Seven Yin Moon for failing to notice the seal, while Seven Yin Moon defends himself by claiming he had no reason to investigate worthless ruins.
  • Liu Chengfeng challenges the group’s treasure theory, pointing out that Huanghun Fengyi’s behavior was inconsistent with simply hiding a valuable object.
  • Mo Fanchen attempts to break or decipher the seal but fails, then guards the entrance while Liu Chengfeng proceeds inside.
  • The hidden companions trust Liu Chengfeng enough to remain concealed rather than intervene.
  • Crystal’s warning confirms that Liu Chengfeng is not alone in the dead void, immediately setting up a new threat as the planet’s black earth begins to move.

Ch. 757A Talking Eye

Chapter Summary: “A Talking Eye”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng enters the Dirty Death World, where an ancient voice recognizes that someone resembling the powerful Huanghun Fengyi has previously returned there.
  • The world attacks him: the black earth and dead stars release a vast Black Tide made of countless monstrous Black Sand Ghost Insects. The tide threatens to consume Liu Chengfeng and tear apart the surrounding starry sky.
  • Liu Chengfeng draws the Karma Blade, intending to destroy the entire assault. His opponent uses the power of the Unknowable and Unhearable to control the Black Tide, but Liu remains unaffected and forces the creatures back.
  • A gigantic, wisdom-filled azure eye rises from one of the stars. It is surrounded by Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds, which struggle to burrow into it.
  • Liu identifies the eye as connected to the Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds he has been seeking. The eye introduces itself as Tianzheng, claiming to be the legendary first person to possess a Sequence and create the God-Cultivation Path.
  • Liu rejects this claim, arguing that the eye possesses only a trace of the Unknowable and Unhearable power and therefore cannot be the true Tianzheng.
  • The eye reveals the truth: it is an eye that Tianzheng removed from his own body. It had been infected by powerful, first-generation Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds known as Origin Seeds.
  • Tianzheng removed and abandoned the eye in this region. The infection killed all life in the surrounding starry sky, transforming it into the Dirty Death World. Tianzheng then severed all causal connections and exiled the contaminated region to prevent the infection from spreading to the Unknowable and Unhearable Sequence.
  • Liu learns that Tianzheng originally sought the Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds because Dongguo Xiansheng revealed a secret concerning the Eternal Road, a legendary realm where nothing dies or perishes.
  • The eye recalls that Tianzheng may have found the Eternal Road but could not enter it. Dongguo Xiansheng supposedly told him that obtaining the Dirty Fate Calamity Seed might allow him to enter and achieve eternal, imperishable existence.

Character Developments and Interactions

  • Liu Chengfeng is portrayed as fearless, aggressive, and supremely confident. He refuses to be intimidated by the Dirty Death World, the Black Tide, or the eye’s display of Unknowable and Unhearable power.
  • His confidence is tested when the eye claims to be Tianzheng, but Liu quickly analyzes the situation and recognizes that it is only a remnant or separated part of the legendary figure.
  • Despite initially preparing to attack, Liu lowers his weapon once he senses that the eye harbors no immediate hostility. This shows that he is not merely reckless; he can shift from confrontation to investigation when valuable information is available.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye first appears arrogant and threatening, treating Liu as an insignificant intruder. It later becomes cooperative, explaining its origins and the catastrophe that created the Dirty Death World.
  • The eye’s memory is incomplete because Tianzheng severed their connection. It can provide only fragments of Tianzheng’s history, especially concerning Dongguo Xiansheng and the Eternal Road.
  • Liu and the eye engage in a tense exchange of challenges and questions. Their interaction gradually changes from a potential battle into an interrogation and revelation of ancient secrets.

Significant Themes

  • Arrogance and defiance against cosmic power: Liu repeatedly declares that no place is beyond his reach and that anyone who blocks him will be destroyed.
  • The danger of forbidden knowledge and corruption: The Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds are powerful enough to transform life into death and potentially infect an entire Sequence.
  • Identity and fragmented existence: The eye’s claim to be Tianzheng raises questions about whether a separated body part can retain the identity, power, or authority of the original person.
  • The cost of survival: Tianzheng saved the larger Sequence by sacrificing and exiling the infected eye and the surrounding starry region, leaving an entire world dead.
  • The pursuit of immortality: The Eternal Road represents the ultimate promise of undying existence, motivating Tianzheng’s search for the Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds.
  • Unreliable memory and lost history: The eye’s memories have faded after its causal connection with Tianzheng was severed, leaving major events uncertain and turning the past into a fragmented mystery.

Ch. 758I Am the Most Powerful Eye

Key plot points and events

  • Liu Chengfeng questions whether a person carrying a Dirty Fate Calamity Seed can enter the Eternal Road. Tianzheng’s Eye says the attempt to trade one life for another ended in disaster: the starry realm around them was destroyed, and the Eye itself was discarded there.
  • The Eye cannot explain what happened to Tianzheng afterward. When it was removed, its causal ties and memories of events beyond that point were severed or sealed.
  • Challenged to prove its claim of being peerless, the Eye is confronted with Liu Chengfeng’s Eternal True-Knowledge Eye. It recognizes that Liu’s eye can traverse the real plane’s spacetime causality line—something even Tianzheng could not do.
  • The Eye explains that Tianzheng discovered the watching shadows and the Endbound Ultimate Fiends while pushing his observations and deductions to their limits. To evade them, Tianzheng pioneered the Unknowable and Unhearable path and sealed his Sequence.
  • Tianzheng also created the Justice Alliance, whose members could communicate even while sealed. The Eye remembers little about its later history, except that Tianzheng expelled Ji Mo, one of its founding members.

Character developments

  • Liu Chengfeng is curious and probing, using humor and the display of his eye to test the Eye’s claims. He already understands that the shadows and ultimate fiend pose an unavoidable threat.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye shifts between despair over its fate and boastful pride in its former power. Liu’s eye unsettles it, forcing it to recognize a capability beyond Tianzheng’s own.
  • Tianzheng emerges indirectly as a visionary but cautious pioneer, who concealed himself and his Sequence while preparing to confront the threats he had uncovered.
  • Ji Mo is introduced as Tianzheng’s first ally after himself: an independent Dao-comprehender who studied the god-cultivation paths and was eventually expelled.

Significant themes

  • Knowledge versus unknowability: Greater perception can reveal terrifying forces, but concealment may be necessary for survival.
  • Legacy and uncertainty: Tianzheng’s achievements are immense, yet his fate and the Justice Alliance’s later history remain unknown.
  • Pride and proof: The Eye’s grand claims are humorously challenged by Liu’s demonstration, showing that even supposedly unrivaled power has limits.
  • Inevitable danger: The shadows spy on powerful beings, while the Endbound Ultimate Fiend is presented as a calamity Liu will eventually have to face.

Character interactions

  • Liu alternates between sincere questions and teasing challenges, while the Eye boasts, defends Tianzheng’s choices, and shares fragments of what it knows.
  • Their conversation turns from banter about whose eye is superior to a serious discussion of the shadows, the ultimate fiends, and the strategy behind becoming Unknowable and Unhearable.
  • Liu’s questions about Ji Mo expose a gap in the Eye’s memory: it can describe his role and Tianzheng’s dismissal of him, but cannot explain what he supposedly did wrong.

Ch. 759Dongguo Xiansheng, Who Could Not Be Killed

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng interrogates Tianzheng’s Eye about Tianzheng’s claim of pioneering the god-cultivation path.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye explains that Tianzheng discovered fragmentary stones containing incomplete cultivation methods. By combining them with his own observations of heaven and earth, Tianzheng developed the Four God Treasuries.
  • The Fifth God Treasury originated from a mysterious dream in which an immortal-like figure bestowed divine arts on Tianzheng. Later, Dongguo Xiansheng identified the dream’s source as the “Unspeakable One,” whom Liu Chengfeng recognizes as the Immortal Master.
  • Dongguo Xiansheng subsequently helped Tianzheng locate the True Immortal Heart Talisman, apparently claiming that the Unspeakable One had guided them toward it.
  • Dongguo and Tianzheng attempted to dismantle the talisman to find the Unspeakable One, but it escaped.
  • Dongguo later told Tianzheng about an Eternal Road, prompting Tianzheng to investigate it. Tianzheng apparently regarded Dongguo as dangerous and tried several times to kill him.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye reveals the crucial secret that Dongguo Xiansheng cannot be permanently killed. Whenever he is killed, he reappears at the newest point in time. He can only potentially be destroyed by finding his “root.”
  • Liu Chengfeng becomes determined to test whether Dongguo is genuinely immortal and indestructible.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng demonstrates his superior knowledge of time, history, and cultivation, frightening Tianzheng’s Eye into abandoning its usual arrogance and answering honestly.
  • He becomes increasingly suspicious of Dongguo Xiansheng, concluding that Dongguo’s actions were likely directed toward finding or confronting him.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye shifts from boastful confidence to fear and caution. Its fragmented memories limit what it can reveal, but it ultimately provides vital information about Tianzheng’s history and Dongguo’s nature.
  • Tianzheng is portrayed as a genuine pioneer rather than someone who simply inherited the god-cultivation path. However, his discoveries were influenced by fragmentary relics, mysterious dreams, and Dongguo’s guidance.
  • Dongguo Xiansheng becomes a more threatening and mysterious figure: he is not human, may lack a physical body, and possesses a form of existence that defeats ordinary killing.
  • The Unspeakable One/Immortal Master emerges as an important hidden force connected to the Fifth God Treasury and the True Immortal Heart Talisman.

Significant Themes

  • The origins of cultivation: Great cultivation systems may arise through a combination of inherited fragments, personal insight, and outside intervention.
  • Incomplete knowledge and unreliable memory: Tianzheng’s Eye has had its karma severed, leaving its recollections vague and forcing Liu Chengfeng to reconstruct the truth from fragments.
  • Time and existence: Dongguo’s ability to reappear at the newest point in time challenges ordinary concepts of death, causality, and identity.
  • Hidden manipulation: The dream, the Unspeakable One, Dongguo’s guidance, and the True Immortal Heart Talisman suggest that major historical developments may have been deliberately orchestrated.
  • The limits of power: Even Tianzheng, a great pioneer, could not permanently kill Dongguo. Liu Chengfeng’s suspicion that every “immortal” being must have a weakness drives the chapter’s tension.

Character Interactions

  • Liu Chengfeng interrogates Tianzheng’s Eye in a calm but intimidating manner, using his knowledge to expose evasions.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye repeatedly reacts with fear whenever Liu Chengfeng hints at knowledge gained from outside normal time.
  • Their exchange contains moments of dry humor, especially when Liu Chengfeng criticizes the Eye’s habit of labeling everyone a bad person and becomes frustrated by its vague answers.
  • By the end, the interrogation produces a major revelation: Dongguo Xiansheng cannot be killed normally, and only discovering the origin or “root” of his existence may make him vulnerable.

Ch. 760Cutting Open the Eye

Chapter Summary: “Cutting Open the Eye”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Liu Chengfeng questions Tianzheng’s Eye about Huanghun Fengyi’s visits. Huanghun initially discovered the fissure and sealed it, but later returned several times after Tianzheng’s Eye tempted him with knowledge of the Eternal Unmatched Art, the Death World, and other cultivation secrets.
  • Huanghun gained enormous benefits from these conversations and eventually reached the highest level, touching upon the Sequence. However, he later returned carrying a mysterious object from the Death World, believing he had discovered an even greater path involving the nine great Death Worlds.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye warned Huanghun that this path was extraordinarily dangerous and could destroy not only him but also every world and dimension connected to him. Huanghun ultimately brought calamity upon himself and embarked on a path with no return.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye explains that he remains trapped in the fissure because the Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds must not enter reality. Although he expects to die, he refuses to leave and risk unleashing a catastrophe.
  • Liu Chengfeng proposes destroying or transforming the seeds. Crushing them would likely kill Tianzheng’s Eye, while melting them might allow him to shed his current form and be reborn.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye agrees despite the extreme pain. Liu Chengfeng uses the Karma Blade to cut the eye open, allowing the seeds to burrow inside.
  • Liu Chengfeng then releases a wooden burl from the World Tree. It melts Tianzheng’s Eye and the Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds together, preventing the seeds from escaping.
  • The black, tumor-like liquid spreads beyond the eye, dissolving the planet beneath them. The planet consists of countless black-sand creatures, which flee in terror, but the liquid pursues and captures them with streaks of black light.

Character Developments

  • Liu Chengfeng becomes increasingly calculating and proactive. Rather than merely gathering information, he devises a dangerous method to save or transform Tianzheng’s Eye and eliminate the calamity seeds.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye is revealed to be both selfish and unexpectedly self-sacrificing. He once tempted Huanghun partly out of boredom and hunger, but he now remains behind voluntarily to prevent catastrophe from reaching the human world. He is frightened of death, yet accepts Liu Chengfeng’s plan because it offers a chance at rebirth.
  • Huanghun Fengyi is characterized as exceptionally talented, ambitious, and willing to risk annihilation in pursuit of a higher path. His search for an alternative route beyond the Sequence leads him into disaster.
  • Tianzheng is indirectly portrayed as ruthless: he saved himself by gouging out and abandoning his own eye, leaving it exiled with part of a world-universe.

Significant Themes

  • Ambition and self-destruction: Huanghun’s pursuit of a greater path demonstrates how extraordinary ambition can lead to irreversible ruin.
  • Sacrifice and responsibility: Tianzheng’s Eye chooses to remain trapped rather than allow the Origin Seeds to escape and devastate reality.
  • Transformation through suffering: The excruciating melting process may destroy Tianzheng’s Eye’s old identity while giving him the possibility of rebirth.
  • Uncertain morality: The characters distrust one another and joke that no one is truly good, yet both Liu Chengfeng and Tianzheng’s Eye perform actions that protect others.
  • Cosmic catastrophe: The Dirty Fate Calamity Seeds and black-sand creatures represent forces capable of consuming worlds and destabilizing entire dimensions.

Character Interactions

  • Liu Chengfeng interrogates Tianzheng’s Eye about Huanghun’s history, gradually uncovering the true extent of Huanghun’s ambition and the Eye’s involvement.
  • Tianzheng’s Eye alternates between smugness, suspicion, fear, and desperation, while Liu Chengfeng remains skeptical and manipulative but ultimately offers him a chance at survival.
  • Their sarcastic exchanges reveal mutual distrust, though a reluctant cooperation develops when Tianzheng’s Eye accepts the painful transformation.
  • The chapter ends with Liu Chengfeng observing the World Tree’s power as it consumes both the calamity seeds and the surrounding black-sand world.
