• After they returned to the stomach sac, the First Human Emperor warned Chu Tian that the Corpse Lord’s true head was beyond the Taiyi Realm, where a gigantic gray-white gate was opening.

The Guixu Mother Gate opened and began harvesting the Twin Realms’ will, while the Taiyi Human Emperor Seal awakened its hidden authority of observation and froze nearly everyone. Chu Tian challenged the Eye of Observation’s predicted future by urging the living to choose what they wanted to change.

• The First Human Emperor revealed that the Guixu Mother Gate led to the graveyard of ancient universes and was the Corpse Lord’s birthplace.
• Chu Tian sensed that the gate was extracting the will of beings across dozens of star domains, and Chu Yunshang led the Slaughter Army to stop it.
• A radiant hand from the gate struck Chu Yunshang and scattered her army, so Chu Tian tried to seal the gate with the Taiyi Human Emperor Seal.
• The seal awakened its third authority, Observation, and became the Eye of Observation, which froze most beings and showed them visions of a doomed future.
• As despair spread through the armies, Chu Tian called on everyone to reject the predicted future and say what they truly wanted to change.

Chu Tian shattered the Eye of Observation by unleashing the battlefield’s chaotic free will, but its black chess piece revealed that the Zeroer had begun erasing everyone’s names and memories.

• Chu Tian used the true names of hundreds of millions of beings to locate and kill the Zeroer inside the Guixu Mother Gate, who revealed that the Taiyi Realm Corpse had been killed by a Zero Lifeform.

• The Corpse Lord demanded Chu Tian's Taiyi Freedom in exchange for freeing the Twin Realms, but Chu Tian refused, so it tried to seize Chu Yueyao's Ancestral Phoenix Flame Seed instead.
• Chu Yueyao severed her bloodline connection with Chu Tian and entered the Corpse Lord's body, where she found the First Life Egg and decided to destroy it from within.
• Chu Yueyao burned her Ancestral Phoenix True Spirit and charged at the Life Egg, while the Corpse Lord sent countless Dead Silence chains to stop her.

Chu Yueyao emerged from the Life Egg as a Life Corpse Lord, while the Heavenly King Emperor betrayed Chu Tian to seize the Taiyi Human Emperor Seal and the authority of Destruction. Chu Tian learned that Chu Yueyao was still struggling within the new being, leaving him facing the threat of the Corpse Lord while unable to risk harming his sister.

As Chu Tianwang held the colliding worlds apart and Chu Yunshang took command, Chu Tian was left to pursue Yueyao’s soul while his father’s Dao Fruit shattered.

• Chu Tian pulled Chu Yueyao’s Divine Soul from the Life Corpse Lord, but she shielded his Dao Heart from the Corpse Lord’s counterattack and shattered into rainbow fragments.

The Taiyi Corpse Lord summoned the past Human Emperors’ remains to attack the Ancestral Soul Hall, while Chu Tian awakened some of them and helped the defenders form a shared soul-guarding barrier. After the First Human Emperor created an opening, Chu Tian entered his mind, where the Emperor revealed his memories and urged him to accept imperfection.

• Chu Tian Corpse wounded Chu Tian and raised his sword for a final blow, insisting that absolute rule and the removal of emotion were the only path to peace.

Chu Tian defeated the Chu Tian Corpse by forcing it to experience his painful memories, causing the Corpse Lord to abandon its collapsing vessel. The Corpse Lord then extracted painful memories across the Twin Realms to feed its power, but Chu Yunshang and others urged everyone to share their suffering through the Karmic Network.

• Chu Tian let the Chu Tian Corpse pierce his Taiyi Dao Heart and flooded its consciousness with memories of loss, sacrifice, and regret.
