Chapter Summaries

Chen Yuan discovered that the Fusion Dao inheritances he had chosen relied on incompatible physical transformations, so he sought a way to combine their powers through the Great Dao of the Mind. The system accepted his revised optimization request, while a distant figure sensed that the future had changed.

• Chen Yuan exchanged several inheritances, then learned that four Fusion Dao paths required conflicting physiques that could not coexist.
• Chen Yuan rejected using clones to pursue separate paths because dividing his power would lower each clone’s strength and his overall potential.
• Chen Yuan exchanged Origin Myriad Dao Array Diagram and found that its origin-law methods could affect Fusion Daos but needed a suitable vessel.
• The system identified the Great Dao of the Mind as a vessel capable of containing myriad Daos, so Chen Yuan used Manifestation of Holiness Method as the foundation for a new optimization request.
• The system reported that the task creation had succeeded, and a distant figure in the Hunyuan sensed that the future had changed.

Star Radiance learned from Yuan that Chen Yuan was destined to become a Hunyuan Lord and came from a higher-dimensional world, leading the two Lords to consider what his existence might mean. Meanwhile, Chen Yuan completed the Manifestation of Holiness Method optimization, discovered a path for advancing his mind cultivation, and prepared to study six Perfect Level inheritances.

• Star Radiance confronted Yuan about Chen Yuan after discovering that timelines across Hunyuan Space were collapsing around his inevitable rise to Lordhood.
• Yuan admitted he had been watching Chen Yuan but had not intervened or told the other Lords, explaining that Chen Yuan came from a world outside the Endless Chaotic Origin Space.
• Yuan revealed that Chen Yuan had arrived as a streak of white light and reincarnated on an ordinary planet, then reached his current level in just over two hundred days.
• Yuan told Star Radiance that Chen Yuan valued relationships and repaid kindness, and suggested a higher realm might exist above Hunyuan Lords.
• Chen Yuan received the completed Manifestation of Holiness Method, which let him use the Mind Saint Body to integrate different Great Daos and improve his ability to sense branches of the Great Dao of the Mind.
• Chen Yuan recognized that the method clarified his cultivation path, summoned his Mind Saint Body, and split it into six bodies to study the Perfect Level inheritances.

Chen Yuan imprinted the Dream Branch and other mastered Great Daos into his Mind Saint Body, fusing his Power of Mind with his divine power. As the growing burden strengthened his mental realm, he discovered that enduring it could help him condense the Will Branch.

• Chen Yuan imprinted the Great Dao of the Mind’s Dream Branch onto his Mind Saint Body and fused it with his divine power.
• Chen Yuan tested the Dream Branch’s abilities and found he could use them without separately driving them with the Power of Mind.
• Chen Yuan began imprinting his other mastered Great Daos, which increased the burden on his mind and gradually strengthened his mental realm.
• After imprinting eight Great Daos, Chen Yuan sensed information about the Will Branch and realized that bearing the mental burden could help him condense it.
• Chen Yuan decided to keep imprinting Great Daos to increase the burden and advance toward the Will Branch.

After completing his Great Dao imprints, Chen Yuan began cultivating powerful inheritances while the Universe Ocean’s inhabitants relocated into the Yuan Chu World. Left behind and fearing Chen Yuan’s retaliation, Purple Moon searched for a way to flee, then found a wanted notice for the Origin Beginning Divine Lord.

• Chen Yuan completed all ten Great Dao imprints, raised the Manifestation of Holiness Method to level two, and assigned six Perfect Level inheritances to his mind clones.
• Chen Yuan cultivated the Space Geometric Construction Method and planned to study the Hunyuan Array Diagram as he pursued greater strength.
• Chen Yuan entered seclusion, while nearly all inhabitants of the Universe Ocean relocated to the Yuan Chu World and the Purple Moon Holy Land remained behind.
• The Purple Moon Progenitor learned that the relocation had left his holy land isolated and feared Chen Yuan would come after him.
• Purple Moon searched his sect’s mission board for an assignment that would let him escape, then spotted a wanted notice for the Origin Beginning Divine Lord and was delighted.

Purple Moon convinced Emperor Yan that Chen Yuan might be Shiyuan Divine Lord and possessed a valuable secret treasure, prompting Emperor Yan to bring Diwu and Di Xi into the Universe Ocean. As Chen Yuan finished cultivating the second layer of the Geometric Method in the Yuan Chu World, he sensed the three Emperor Lords approaching.

• Purple Moon told Emperor Yan that Chen Yuan had smuggled into the Origin Continent and advanced rapidly, leading Emperor Yan to suspect he was Shiyuan Divine Lord.
• Emperor Yan decided to investigate Chen Yuan and, after preparing with Diwu and Di Xi, used the Karmic Disc to locate him in the Universe Ocean.

• Chen Yuan completed the second layer of the Geometric Method and assessed the progress of his six mind clones' Perfect Level inheritances.
• Chen Yuan sensed three powerful auras entering the Universe Ocean and recognized Emperor Yan among them.

Chen Yuan intercepted Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu at the edge of the Universe Ocean to keep their fight from endangering the Primal Universe. He warned them that he had reached Ultimate Realm battle strength, but Emperor Yan demanded his secret treasure, leaving the confrontation on the brink of battle.

• Chen Yuan sensed Emperor Yan's trio approaching and moved to the Universe Ocean's edge, where a Chaos Storm firewall could shield the Primal Universe from their battle.

• Chen Yuan claimed he had Ultimate Realm battle strength and offered to let the trio leave peacefully, but Emperor Yan demanded his secret treasure and threatened to kill him.
• Emperor Yan held back from attacking because his instincts warned him, while Chen Yuan revealed that he knew what had happened to God King Li He.

Chen Yuan fought Emperor Yan, Diwu, and Di Xi after their past massacre of God King Li He made peace impossible. He trapped the three Emperor Lords with his Origin Killing Array and met their concentrated counterattack with a nine-colored strike.

• Emperor Yan decided to attack Chen Yuan after Chen Yuan brought up God King Li He and the slaughter of Li He's clan.
• Emperor Yan, Diwu, and Di Xi combined their Origin Fire and Origin Water powers into a sea of flames and launched a surprise attack.

• Emperor Yan recognized the array as a Perfect Level inheritance and ordered the others to compress their flames into a spear to pierce its defenses.
• Chen Yuan formed the Origin Killing Array—Nine-Colored Radiance and clashed it head-on with the three Emperor Lords' flaming spear.

Chen Yuan survived the three Emperor Lords’ combined attack and changed the battle formation to protect the Primal Universe. Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu equipped their God Emperor-level secret treasures, but Chen Yuan revealed his own powerful treasures and left Emperor Yan close to mental collapse before the fight resumed.

• The aftershock from the battle destroyed the Purple Moon Holy Land, cutting off Purple Moon’s cultivation path and leading him to blame Chen Yuan.

• Emperor Yan urged Di Xi and Diwu to kill Chen Yuan, then charged at him amid swirling flames.

• Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu charged Chen Yuan, who split into two equally powerful incarnations and met them with his three bodies.
• Chen Yuan’s spacetime power and superior use of secret treasures suppressed the trio, and he struck Emperor Yan with Space-Time Birth and Death, draining more than thirty percent of his divine power.
• Chen Yuan followed with two more strikes that sent Di Xi and Diwu flying and left them with less than half their divine power reserves.
• Emperor Yan decided the three should retreat, but Di Xi warned him they could not leave as Chen Yuan’s bodies surrounded them.

Chen Yuan refused to spare Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu after they attacked him for a secret treasure, and killed all three in the Origin Space-Time Formation. Before dying, Emperor Yan reported Chen Yuan’s identity and warned that the remaining Emperor Lords would unite against him.

• Emperor Yan tried to persuade Chen Yuan to spare the three of them by invoking the Yanfeng Progenitor, but Chen Yuan rejected his plea.
• Chen Yuan unleashed Calamity Annihilation, trapping Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu in a destructive space-time storm.
• Di Xi and Diwu exhausted their divine power and were ground to dust, and Chen Yuan destroyed their Wills before they could reincarnate.
• Emperor Yan revealed that he had reported the killings to the other Emperor Lords and threatened that the remaining ten would join forces against Chen Yuan.
• The storm shattered Emperor Yan’s body, and Chen Yuan extinguished his Will, leaving all three Emperor Lords dead.

After Emperor Yan’s death, Chen Yuan used the Karmic Disc to hide his whereabouts from the Ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng and killed Purple Moon with a curse. The kingdom’s Emperor Lords then gathered to discuss the fallen Emperor Yan and the others, while Emperor Qing’s absence sparked a tense exchange.

• Chen Yuan refined the Karmic Disc, used it to sever karmic connections that could reveal him, and decided it would buy him time to cultivate.
• Chen Yuan used a Heavenly Secrets Curse-Killing Technique to kill Purple Moon in his cave residence in the Flame Capital.
• The news of Emperor Yan’s fall reached the upper ranks of the Ancient Kingdom of Yanfeng, and nine Emperor Lords gathered to discuss the deaths.
• Emperor Yuan questioned Emperor Qing’s absence, and the other Emperor Lords warned him against criticizing someone who had reached the God Emperor realm.

The nine Emperor Lords discussed the deaths of Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu at the hands of the unknown Chen Yuan, who had taken the Karmic Disc and concealed his traces. After Emperor Qing refused to help and the Progenitor did not respond, the Emperor Lords agreed to seek Chen Yuan through a bounty.

• Difu told the Emperor Lords that Chen Yuan had killed Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu, and that Emperor Yan's message named the killer.
• The Emperor Lords learned that Chen Yuan had the Karmic Disc, preventing Difu from deducing his identity or location, and debated whether to seek revenge or wait for information.
• Emperor Yuan proposed asking Emperor Qing to investigate before reporting the matter to the Progenitor, and the Emperor Lords approved the proposal.
• At Emperor Qing Palace, Emperor Qing refused to meet them, and his attack sent Emperor Yuan flying with half his fleshly body destroyed.
• The Emperor Lords visited the Progenitor's cavern abode, received no response, and agreed to follow Emperor Chu's proposal to place a bounty on Chen Yuan.

News that Chen Yuan had killed Emperor Yan and two other Emperor Lords caused an upheaval across the Origin Continent, while the Time-Space Old Demon recognized Chen Yuan as a God King who had grasped the Fusion Dao. Safe from pursuit for now, Chen Yuan dismantled the God Emperor secret treasures and concluded that he needed to raise his system’s limits to make later-stage optimization more efficient.

• The deaths of Emperor Yan and the other two Emperor Lords, along with Yanfeng’s bounty, spread across the Origin Continent and drew powerful beings to investigate the battle site.
• The Time-Space Old Demon identified the battle’s spacetime traces as evidence of a God King who had initially fused the Great Dao of spacetime, but could not discover the person’s identity.
• Difu told Chen Yuan that Emperor Qing and the Yanfeng Progenitor were in seclusion, and Chen Yuan believed the Karmic Disc would keep Yanfeng’s remaining Emperor Lords from finding him.
• Chen Yuan dismantled more than a dozen God Emperor secret treasures, including the Flowing Void Saber, and gained 65,618 Hunyuan units.
• Chen Yuan reasoned that the system’s optimization costs exceeded its limits at higher God Emperor stages and considered raising those limits by advancing his life level or using the Origin Beginning Heart.

Chen Yuan told Mountain Sitting Guest that Emperor Yan and his allies were dead, clearing the way to settle Mountain Sitting Guest’s old grudge. They began taking revenge in the Food Kingdom, where Chen Yuan killed Kingdom Lord Tiankun while Mountain Sitting Guest watched.

• Chen Yuan spent energy upgrading the Azure Firmament Sword and three other secret treasures, then went to Jin City to find Mountain Sitting Guest.
• Chen Yuan told Mountain Sitting Guest he had killed Emperor Yan, Di Xi, and Diwu, and invited him to witness the deaths of those who had wronged him.
• Chen Yuan used the Karmic Disc to locate the Food Kingdom’s four God Kings, and Mountain Sitting Guest chose to spare Skull Peak God King while targeting the other three Kingdom Lords.
• Chen Yuan brought Mountain Sitting Guest to Kingdom Lord Tiankun, then erased Tiankun’s will before he could react.

Chen Yuan killed Mountain Sitting Guest’s remaining enemies and learned that Mountain Sitting Guest had never interfered with Luo Feng’s fate.

• Mountain Sitting Guest confirmed that Kingdom Lord Tiankun was dead, and Chen Yuan took the corpse before leaving with him.
• Chen Yuan revealed that he had curse-killed Progenitor Formless and Progenitor Blade Demon, and Mountain Sitting Guest accepted that securing their deaths had been the right choice.

• Chen Yuan considered whether he could infiltrate the Origin World’s rules and gain the power to revive those who had died there.

Chen Yuan told Mountain Sitting Guest that he might someday invade the Supreme Rules and gain the power to revive his family, then began testing the method inside the Origin World. Repeated assaults strengthened his Will, and his first brief entry into the Origin Core revealed a new branch of the Great Dao of the Mind: the Heavenly Heart Lineage.

• Chen Yuan told Mountain Sitting Guest that he might obtain a stronger revival authority by invading the Supreme Rules, and Mountain Sitting Guest agreed to wait patiently.
• Chen Yuan connected with his Will Branch in the Origin World's Origin Core and prepared to test his method using the Nine Realms of Extinction.

• Chen Yuan's transformed Will entered the Origin Core briefly before the rules annihilated it, letting him observe them with far greater efficiency.
• Chen Yuan realized that invading a Source World's rules could condense a third branch of the Great Dao of the Mind, the Heavenly Heart Lineage.

Chen Yuan resumed his retreat after discovering the Heavenly Heart Branch and assessing how long it might take to condense it and the Will Branch. While he cultivated, the Original Ancestor and Luo Feng made major breakthroughs, leaving the Human Race and Yuan Chu World celebrating.

• Chen Yuan realized he could use his Mind Will to invade the Origin Core and began condensing the Will Branch and Heavenly Heart Branch of the Great Dao of the Mind.
• Chen Yuan estimated that the Will Branch might take one hundred and fifty to two hundred eras to finish, while the Heavenly Heart Branch might take around five hundred eras, then returned to the Yuan Chu World to cultivate.
• Chen Yuan checked his progress and noted that the Original Ancestor's Gene Level had reached eighty-nine thousand times.
• Three eras into Chen Yuan's retreat, the Original Ancestor attained the Infinite Divine Body, advanced to True God and then Void True God, and raised the Human Race Alliance to peak-power status.
• Five eras later, Luo Feng attained the Perfect Divine Body, prompting celebration throughout the Yuan Chu World.

Chen Yuan discovered that Luo Feng had attained a Perfect Divine Body far sooner than expected and met him to celebrate. He rewarded Luo Feng with a secret realm as his territory and the Dream Realm Tower, while preparing for Luo Feng to enter the wider world.

• Luo Feng led humanity to become the Yuan Chu Continent’s foremost power, and about sixty-five epochs later a new God King appeared.

Mountain Sitting Guest returned to the God King Realm, revealed his past as the God King of Jin, and brought the Jin Alliance into the Human Race Alliance.
