Chapter Summaries

Chen Yuan planned to collect innate Great Daos from 131 ancient Source Worlds and set out for the nearest target, the Xianluo Ancient World. As he left Xuanhuang City, the Jade Omen Disc alerted a group who intended to capture him and take his Great World-Breaking Teleportation Art.

• Chen Yuan chose 131 ancient Source Worlds with many unfamiliar innate Great Daos and prioritized visiting the nearby Xianluo Ancient World.
• Chen Yuan postponed collecting fusion and acquired Great Daos, then decided to leave the Jade Omen Disc matter until after his journey.
• Chen Yuan followed Xuanhuang City's departure rules and flew toward the world membrane so he could leave the Yuan Desolate Ancient World.
• A purple-robed elder learned that Chen Yuan was leaving and passed the news to the pink-robed young girl's group through the Jade Omen Disc.
• The pink-robed young girl told her Eldest Brother that Chen Yuan's teleportation art could help her complete her Void Dao, and they set out with her Second Brother and Third Brother to capture him.

Chen Yuan was ambushed by a man in white and his companions, who wanted his teleportation secret art, but he waited for their reinforcements and revealed the power of his Space-Time Fusion Dao. He annihilated all four attackers and continued on his journey by Spacetime Jump.

• The man in white promised the girl in pink that he and his two brothers would seize Chen Yuan's secret art for her.
• Chen Yuan broke the Space-Time Lock, struck the man in white and the girl in pink with a Subspace Sword, and refused their offer to trade for his teleportation art.
• The man in white sealed Chen Yuan's escape and summoned his two brothers, while Chen Yuan revealed that he had been waiting for them.
• The three brothers attacked Chen Yuan together, but their secret arts vanished without affecting him.
• Chen Yuan used Spacetime: Calamity Extinction to annihilate the girl in pink and the three brothers, then departed with Spacetime Jump.

Chen Yuan reached the Xianluo Ancient World and began collecting its Origin types while reflecting on how Yin-Yang power could strengthen his space-time secret arts. After five days of cultivation, his Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao broke through to the Ultimate Realm and produced a new secret art.

• Chen Yuan realized that combining Yin-Yang erosive power with his Spacetime: Calamity Extinction secret art had let him defeat three Enlightenment Seekers in one strike.
• Chen Yuan entered the Xianluo Ancient World, whose Heavenly Emperor left outsiders largely undisturbed in the Supreme Heaven.
• Chen Yuan located the Xianluo Origin and began analyzing its thirty-two Origin types, estimating he would need about thirty days to collect them.
• Chen Yuan calculated that his planned gains would bring his Mind Index close to 950 and strengthen him toward God Emperor Invincible level.
• After five days of focused cultivation, Chen Yuan's Yin-Yang Five Elements Dao reached the Ultimate Realm and gained the secret art Yin-Yang Five Elements Great Disintegration Divine Light.

Chen Yuan mastered the Yin-Yang Five Elements Great Disintegration Divine Light and reorganized his plans to gather Innate Great Daos by sending out many more clones. After his clones collected hundreds of Great Daos, his Mind Index surpassed one thousand and his divine body reached the God Emperor Invincible level.

• Chen Yuan tested the Yin-Yang Five Elements Great Disintegration Divine Light and found that it could dissolve a Half-Hunyuan secret treasure almost instantly.
• Chen Yuan realized his true body’s bloodline analysis was inefficient for collecting Innate Great Daos, so he decided to send out additional Mind Clones to gather origin sources.
• Chen Yuan split off eleven God Emperor Early Stage Mind Clones and dispatched them to nearby Source Worlds, where they began collecting origin sources.
• Over twenty days later, Chen Yuan’s Xianluo World clone had gathered thirty-two Innate Great Daos, while the clones in the Dark World Cluster had collected more than two hundred.
• Chen Yuan’s Mind Index reached 1,153, and his divine body advanced to the God Emperor Invincible level.

Chen Yuan sent countless Clones across World Groups to collect Innate Great Daos while his true body analyzed Hunyuan Bloodlines. Three hundred days later, his Mind Index had nearly quadrupled, and he had gathered 2,468 Innate Great Daos, bringing his Half-Hunyuan Fusion Dao strength close to its peak.

• Chen Yuan split his power into Half-Hunyuan Clones, then divided one Clone into hundreds of God Emperor Early Stage Clones to explore nearby Source Worlds.
• Chen Yuan estimated that his Clones could gather the Innate Great Daos across the worlds within two hundred days, while his true body continued analyzing Hunyuan Bloodlines.
• Three hundred days later, Chen Yuan killed a Middle God Emperor Realm bandit with the Great Disintegration Divine Light, which also destroyed the bandit's shield and belongings.
• Chen Yuan checked his progress and saw a Mind Strength Index of 3,871 and 2,468 Innate Great Daos, with 2,368 in the Ultimate Realm and 100 in the Second Realm.
• Chen Yuan judged that his Divine Body had reached the peak of Half-Hunyuan Fusion Dao strength and could contend with High-Level Hunyuan Lifeforms that had released a sliver of their power.

Chen Yuan concluded that he could eventually raise his Divine Body to the High-Level Hunyuan realm by steadily converting origins into Mind Index, though he still lacked the final branch of the Great Dao of the Mind. He discovered that the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes contained the True Spirit Branch, the sixth and final branch of the Soul Great Dao, bringing him closer to the Soul Ultimate Realm and becoming a Hunyuan Lord.

• Chen Yuan reasoned that his unique method of using his mind to contain all Daos could steadily raise his Mind Index and let his Divine Body break free from the Cage.
• Chen Yuan suspected his Mind Will remained trapped below the Cage because the Great Dao of the Mind was incomplete, but he still had no idea what its final branch was.
• Chen Yuan recalled that he had gathered ninety-nine of the hundred innate soul-related Great Daos and had held off completing any of them so he could pursue the orthodox Soul Great Dao.
• Chen Yuan realized that the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes contained a Reincarnation Soul Fusion Dao rather than the Great Dao of Reincarnation.
• After analyzing the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes for a hundred days, Chen Yuan discovered the True Spirit Branch, the final branch of the Soul Great Dao.

Chen Yuan realized that mastering True Spirit Power would let him erase True Spirits or save lives by reconstructing their souls and bodies, and planned to use it to restore Mountain Sitting Guest’s family. As he continued developing his Great Dao collection, he decided to obtain the final 15 Origin Great Daos through the Infinite Space Treasury.

• Chen Yuan concluded that True Spirit Power could cleanse enslavement, brand True Spirits, and permanently erase them, while the Soul Great Dao could help reconstruct a fallen life’s soul and body.
• Chen Yuan determined that he could save Mountain Sitting Guest’s fallen family once he mastered the True Spirit Branch, which he expected to do within a hundred days.
• Mountain Sitting Guest reached the Second-Level God King Realm after reincarnating and began pursuing the Ultimate Realm, while Chen Yuan chose not to interrupt his cultivation.
• Chen Yuan counted 2,985 collected Innate Origin Sources, including 517 Great Daos from his Hunyuan Bloodline, leaving 15 Great Daos to reach three thousand.
• After failing to locate the final 15 Great Daos across more than a million Source Worlds, Chen Yuan decided to exchange for them in the Infinite Space Treasury.

Chen Yuan used the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes to replenish his reward points and searched the Treasury for the Innate Great Daos he still lacked. He found fourteen of the fifteen, decided to postpone the final search and ask Yuan for help later, then began analyzing the Profound Yin Great Dao.

• Chen Yuan returned the Book of a Hundred Lifetimes and raised his reward points to 1,000,863.
• Chen Yuan searched the Treasury and found fourteen of the fifteen Great Daos he was missing, but the final Origin was unavailable there.
• Chen Yuan rejected spending hundreds of thousands of days analyzing Hunyuan bloodlines and planned to ask Yuan for clues through Xuan Tianzun.
• Chen Yuan decided to explore the remaining Source Worlds, gather the fourteen known Origins, and raise his Mind Index toward 9,999.
• Chen Yuan exchanged reward points to confront the Profound Yin Origin Great Dao and began analyzing it with the Eye of Origin Beginning.

Chen Yuan completed the True Spirit Branch of the Virtual Universe Secret Method and used it to discover countless True Spirit Imprints on the Origin Continent. He realized that the Origin World’s Great Destruction was caused by its inability to sustain the accumulated True Spirits, leaving him with a new explanation for why ownerless Source Worlds inevitably perish.

• Chen Yuan finished cultivating 117 Fusion Dao inheritances, raising his Mind Index by more than a thousand, and resolved to find the final Innate Great Dao before reaching High-Level Hunyuan.
• Chen Yuan waited for the Virtual Universe Secret Method’s True Spirit Branch to complete, then felt his control and power over True Spirit Power increase dramatically.
• Chen Yuan used True Spirit Power to detect scattered imprints in Yuan Chu World and countless more across the Origin Continent.
• Chen Yuan concluded that the Origin World lacked reincarnation, leaving the True Spirits of the dead behind and making their revival prohibitively costly.
• Chen Yuan reasoned that extracting the Origin World’s origin could delay its destruction only for several billion eras because its capacity to sustain True Spirits was limited.
• Chen Yuan compared the world to a computer and proposed that Great Destruction was its automatic clearing of accumulated memory and data.

Chen Yuan realized that accumulated True Spirits burdened the Origin World, so he collected powerful True Spirits and destroyed several enemies' chance of resurrection. He then offered Mountain Sitting Guest a choice for reviving his relatives, and Mountain Sitting Guest chose to have them reincarnate in the Yuan Chu World.

• Chen Yuan concluded that the Origin World's accumulated True Spirits could overload its processing capacity and cause destruction.
• Chen Yuan used the Soul Great Dao to collect True Spirits of lives at the Void True God level and above, while crushing the True Spirits of Kingdom Lord Tiankun and Emperor Yan.
• Chen Yuan visited Mountain Sitting Guest and promised he could revive his deceased relatives through True Spirit Reconstruction.
• Chen Yuan offered to restore the relatives in their former bodies or have them reincarnate with their memories and greater potential.
• Mountain Sitting Guest chose reincarnation, and he followed Chen Yuan through a portal to the Yuan Chu World.

Chen Yuan resurrected more than 37,000 people chosen by Mountain Sitting Guest, allowing him to reunite with his loved ones. He then traveled to the Yuan Desolate Ancient World and asked to meet Xuan Tianzun.

• Chen Yuan offered Mountain Sitting Guest the chance to add more names to the resurrection list, but Mountain Sitting Guest declined.
• Chen Yuan used the World Origin and the True Spirits to resurrect 37,643 people, restoring their former appearances.
• Mountain Sitting Guest reunited with his Senior Sister as their relatives and friends gathered around them.
• Chen Yuan prepared a Mind Clone with a Mind Index of one thousand and teleported it to the Yuan Desolate Ancient World.
• After entering Xuanhuang City, Chen Yuan went to the Profound Jade Pavilion and asked its receptionist to inform Xuan Tianzun that he wanted to meet.

Chen Yuan met Xuan Tianzun and asked him to contact Lord Yuan, whom he wanted to see. Lord Yuan came in person, greeted Chen Yuan as a brother, and apologized for not leaving him a way to make contact.

• Chen Yuan explained to Xuan Tianzun that his previous appearance had been a weaker Clone and that the one meeting him now was not his primary combat Clone.
• Xuan Tianzun apologized for his earlier attitude, introduced himself as Xuan Wuji, and agreed to address Chen Yuan as a brother.
• Chen Yuan asked Xuan Tianzun to contact Lord Yuan so he could meet him, and Xuan Tianzun relayed the request.
• Lord Yuan told Xuan Tianzun he would come shortly, then appeared in the cave abode and greeted Chen Yuan as Brother Chen.
• Lord Yuan apologized for failing to leave Chen Yuan his contact information while Xuan Tianzun stared in shock at their closeness.

Chen Yuan asked Yuan to help identify the one Innate Great Dao missing from his plans to upgrade his Source World. Yuan learned that Chen Yuan had mastered 2,999 Ultimate Realm Great Daos and agreed to examine their origins, leaving the two ready to find the final one.

• Xuan Wuji realized Chen Yuan and Yuan treated each other as peers, then left after Yuan rewarded his help and ordered him to keep their meeting secret.
• Chen Yuan told Yuan he wanted an Innate Origin Great Dao that he had been unable to find in Yuan’s territory or treasury.
• Chen Yuan explained that he had gathered 2,999 types of Innate Great Dao to create a Source World containing three thousand Great Daos.
• Yuan was astonished to learn Chen Yuan had mastered all 2,999 at the Ultimate Realm and heard Chen Yuan attribute his rapid progress to his special talent.
• Yuan praised the plan, explained that such a world might rival a Hunyuan Lord, and asked Chen Yuan to reveal his mastered origins so he could identify the missing Dao.
• Chen Yuan released the auras of his 2,999 Great Daos, filling the cave abode with Origin Power.

Yuan told Chen Yuan the history of the escaped Great Dao, which had fled when the Yuan Desolate Ancient World was shattered, and revealed that Gu Jun’s descendant, the Jade Palace Lord, now controlled it. Chen Yuan followed Yuan to the South Continent to ask her to lend him the origin.

• Yuan explained that the Innate Hunyuan Faction attacked the Yuan Desolate Ancient World because its fifty compatible origins could combine their power.
• Yuan recounted how Mogus ambushed and killed Gu Jun by destroying his soul, then devoured the world’s lifeforms and shattered its origin.
• Yuan revealed that one origin escaped the destruction, reached Gu Jun’s descendant, and became known as The One That Escaped.
• Yuan told Chen Yuan that Gu Jun’s descendant was the Jade Palace Lord, who lived on the South Continent and created the Jade Omen Discs using the origin’s power.
• Yuan agreed to take Chen Yuan to meet the Jade Palace Lord, and Chen Yuan followed him to the South Continent.

Chen Yuan and Yuan visited Jade Palace Star Palace, where the Jade Palace Lord Gu Yao welcomed them and punished an elder who had leaked Chen Yuan’s whereabouts. She then led them to the Half-Hunyuan Innate Great Dao known as The One That Escaped, which Chen Yuan hoped to master.

• Gu Yao and Jade Palace Star Palace’s core members greeted Yuan and Chen Yuan, and Yuan revealed that Gu Yao was the daughter of his old-era acquaintance Gu Jun.
• Gu Yao explained that a purple-robed core elder had leaked Chen Yuan’s whereabouts to the God Emperors, and Chen Yuan left the punishment to her.
• Gu Yao burned the elder to nothingness, then escorted Yuan and Chen Yuan toward the purpose of their visit.
• Yuan explained that the Escaped One Great Dao could predict events and anticipate attacks, and Chen Yuan decided he would master it.
• Gu Yao revealed a vast purple pillar of light and identified it as The One That Escaped, a Half-Hunyuan Innate Great Dao formerly called the Tianyan Great Dao.

Chen Yuan used the Eye of Origin Beginning to see through the defenses of the Half-Hunyuan Escaped One Great Dao, which then drew a wisp of his consciousness into its origin. There, he discovered its link to the Yuan Desolate Ancient World and confronted its true master, the former Source World Lord Gu Jun.

• Yuan and Gu Yao discussed the Escaped One Great Dao’s self-awareness, its Half-Hunyuan strength, and its rejection of attempts to comprehend it.
• Chen Yuan used the Eye of Origin Beginning to pierce the Great Dao’s defenses and began parsing its origin, estimating that mastering it would take more than ten thousand days.
• The Escaped One Great Dao drew a wisp of Chen Yuan’s consciousness into its hidden Origin Space, surprising Yuan and Gu Yao.
• Chen Yuan recognized that the Great Dao’s Origin Space resembled an Origin Core and speculated that it had once unified the origins of the Yuan Desolate Ancient World.
• A black-robed man appeared and praised Chen Yuan’s insight, and Chen Yuan identified him as Gu Jun, the former Source World Lord.

Chen Yuan learned how Gu Jun survived by hiding his consciousness in the Tianyan Great Dao and why he had waited for someone capable of resurrecting him. Chen Yuan agreed he could help, and Gu Jun offered him the Tianyan Great Dao as payment.

• Chen Yuan deduced that Gu Jun had entered the Tianyan Great Dao when the Yuan Desolate Ancient World shattered, and Gu Jun confirmed it.
• Gu Jun revealed that the Tianyan Great Dao’s true form was a Cosmic Brain, while its purple pillar was only the Origin Space, and explained that his soul had dissipated and his remaining consciousness could not leave.
• Gu Jun told Chen Yuan he had sealed the Great Dao and waited for someone who could see through its lockdown, believing that person might master all Great Daos or discover a soul-related power capable of resurrection.
• Chen Yuan identified the Soul Great Dao’s True Spirit branch as the means to reconstruct a completely dissipated soul and confirmed he could resurrect Gu Jun.
• Chen Yuan asked what Gu Jun would pay, and Gu Jun offered him the Half-Hunyuan-level Tianyan Great Dao.

Chen Yuan negotiated with Gu Jun over help mastering the Tianyan Great Dao in exchange for assisting Gu Jun’s revival. The chapter ended with Gu Jun agreeing to guard Chen Yuan’s Source World for ten thousand epochs in return for revival and the Escaped One Great Dao.

• Gu Jun offered to reveal the Tianyan Origin Source’s mysteries to help Chen Yuan master it, but Chen Yuan said he could comprehend it quickly without assistance.
• Chen Yuan rejected Gu Jun’s offer of Jade Palace Star Palace, saying the Half-Hunyuan faction was of no use to him.
• Chen Yuan asked Gu Jun to guard his world after revival and prevent attacks by Innate Hunyuan Lifeforms for ten thousand epochs.
• Gu Jun learned that Chen Yuan controlled a Source World and agreed to the exchange of guarding it and receiving the Escaped One Great Dao in return for revival.

Chen Yuan learned that Gu Jun’s consciousness had survived within the Escaped One Great Dao and agreed to resurrect him using the True Spirit Resurrection Art. He began condensing Gu Jun’s Soul Origin in secret, with Yuan providing the energy and Gu Yao pledging to keep the resurrection hidden.

• Chen Yuan told Yuan and the Jade Palace Lord that Gu Jun’s consciousness had merged with the Escaped One Great Dao after his soul dispersed.
• Chen Yuan explained that he could resurrect Gu Jun through his True Spirit, though he could only condense a trace of Soul Origin for now.
• Chen Yuan asked Yuan to keep his resurrection ability secret until he reached the Hunyuan Lord realm, and Yuan agreed.

• Chen Yuan collected Yuan’s Hunyuan Crystals, found Gu Jun’s True Spirit, and began condensing his Soul Origin.

Chen Yuan reconstructed a fragment of Gu Jun’s Soul Origin, allowing Yuan to restore Gu Jun enough to awaken. Gu Jun learned that Chen Yuan had resurrected him, and Yuan warned him to honor their agreed transaction.

• Chen Yuan spent twenty days condensing one ten-thousandth of Gu Jun’s Soul Origin while Yuan and the Jade Palace Lord watched.
• Yuan used divine liquid, secret treasures, and Hunyuan energy to repair Gu Jun’s Soul Origin until Gu Jun regained consciousness.
