• Xia Ping captured the frozen demons in the Classic of Mountains and Seas World and sealed their power with the Six Paths Sealing Technique.
• The Eternal Clock resumed time, and the demons had vanished from the battlefield.

• Xia Ping gathered the divine stones, divine blood, and fifty or sixty divine artifact fragments scattered across the ground.
• The system confirmed that divine artifacts could recover if their core divinity survived, and Xia Ping realized that he had sixty-four of the artifact’s eighty-one fragments.
• Xia Ping used Hell Golden Crow Flame to purify and refine the fragments, intending to use them to find the seventeen pieces still scattered in the Abyss Forbidden Land.

After finding eighty artifact fragments, Xia Ping determined that the crucial core fragment lay in the inner region of the Abyss Forbidden Land. He sent his Kunpeng Clone inside to search, where it survived the deadly calamities and encountered a lifeless land filled with undead.

• Xia Ping explored the dead land and sensed divine blood, God Abominations, and resentful spirits wandering through it.

Xia Ping reached the deepest part of the Abyss Forbidden Land and discovered a vast black tree feeding on eighteen god corpses. The divine artifact fragment he sought lay beside one of the corpses, but the tree’s overwhelming power made it impossible for him to approach.

• Xia Ping used the Kunpeng Clone to evade the dangers and creatures of the Abyss Forbidden Land while following the divine artifact fragments’ resonance.
• Xia Ping found an immense black tree at the center of a clearing, radiating abyssal power and covered in skulls, vengeful souls, and twisted runes.

• Xia Ping located the divine artifact fragment beside one corpse but realized the tree’s domain would expose him if he approached.
• Xia Ping suspected the black tree might be the Abyss World’s supreme Demon, the Devil Master, and recognized its godlike strength.

Xia Ping discovered a black-robed elder beneath the black tree who looked exactly like Universe Ancestor, leading him to suspect that the Universe Sect’s founder was the Abyss World’s Devil Master. Before he could resolve his doubts, the Abyss Forbidden Land shook and the Machine Race’s divine artifact, the Southern Heaven Gate, appeared in the sky.

• Xia Ping spotted a black-robed elder cultivating beneath the black tree and noticed a palace behind it.

• The Abyss Forbidden Land trembled violently, and a vast rift split open in the sky.
• Xia Ping identified the enormous silver gate emerging from the rift as the Machine Race’s divine artifact, the Southern Heaven Gate.

Xia Ping watched as the myriad races used the Southern Heaven Gate to launch an invasion of the Abyss World. The Invincible Saints prepared to hold off the Abyss Kings for half an hour, while the sleeping Sunshine Demons left the invaders facing less resistance than expected.

• Xia Ping recognized the Southern Heaven Gate and realized the myriad races had joined forces to strike the Abyss World first.
• The Southern Heaven Gate opened, and Invincible Saints from the peak races, including Carefree Patriarch, Primordial Patriarch, Void Patriarch, and Beiming Patriarch, entered the Abyss World.

While the Saints fought to hold off the Abyss Kings, North Nether Saint slipped away unseen, beginning a mission with only half a shichen to return.

• An Angel Race Saint and a Buddhist Sect Buddha clashed over their faiths until a Fairy Race Saint stopped them.
• A Demon Race Saint questioned whether North Nether Saint could be trusted with the plan, but Void Patriarch defended his strength and secrecy.

• The invincible Saints flew out from the Southern Heaven Gate and battled the enraged Abyss Kings as the void erupted around them.
• Carefree Patriarch told North Nether Saint that they could hold out for half a shichen, and North Nether Saint vanished without the Abyss Kings noticing.

Xia Ping overheard the North Nether Saint address the mysterious old man as his master and learned that he was the long-missing Universe Ancestor. The Universe Ancestor revealed that the Human Race had sent him into the Abyss World as a spy because his half-human, half-demon bloodline let him resist Abyssal Demonic Qi, but he said he could no longer return.

• Xia Ping watched the battle above the Abyss Continent and wondered whether the old man beneath the great tree would leave.

• Universe Ancestor recounted how he entered the Abyss World as a Human Race spy, rose to become its Devil Master, and waited in vain for the mission to end.
• Universe Ancestor warned North Nether Saint and his companions to leave, saying he could no longer turn back and would kill them if they stayed.

• Universe Ancestor declared that he and the Devil Master had become one and that the myriad races were doomed, then rose and unleashed the tree’s abyssal power.
• North Nether Saint stood his ground and challenged his master, and Universe Ancestor answered by punching through the void.

Carefree Patriarch explained that North Nether Saint’s divine inheritance gave him Authority: Unyielding, which kept him alive in battle but left him vulnerable to sealing and severe injuries afterward. North Nether Saint and Universe Ancestor moved their fight away from the Abyss Forbidden Land, leaving Xia Ping unable to follow them.

• Carefree Patriarch told Void Patriarch that Authority: Unyielding prevented North Nether Saint from dying in battle, though it had significant limitations.
• Void Patriarch accepted the plan as Carefree Patriarch and the other Saints held the Abyss Kings in place to prevent reinforcements from reaching the Devil Master.

• Xia Ping sensed that the battle had moved beyond his ability to locate.

With Universe Ancestor and North Nether Saint gone, Xia Ping stole a divine artifact fragment but judged the divine corpses too dangerous to take. The World Tree then sent him a Parasitic Seed to infiltrate the Abyssal Demon Tree, and Xia Ping dispatched his World Tree Clone to plant it.

• Xia Ping confirmed that Universe Ancestor and North Nether Saint had left, then secretly took the divine artifact fragment from the Abyssal Demon Tree.

• The World Tree formed a Parasitic Seed at great cost and explained that it could secretly parasitize the Abyssal Demon Tree.
• Xia Ping sent his World Tree Clone carrying the Parasitic Seed into the inner region of the Abyss Forbidden Land.

Xia Ping fused his World Tree Clone with his Kunpeng Clone and used the World Tree’s Parasitic Seed on the Abyssal Demon Tree. The seed rooted itself in the tree’s core, beginning a silent parasitism that could eventually let the World Tree devour its abyssal counterpart.

• Xia Ping’s World Tree Clone reached the inner region of the Abyss Forbidden Land and fused with the Kunpeng Clone, increasing their combined strength.
• Xia Ping cast the emerald-green Parasitic Seed onto the Abyssal Demon Tree, and it transformed into liquid and entered the tree unnoticed.
• Through his connection to the seed, Xia Ping sensed the Abyssal Demon Tree’s immense core and its roots stretching throughout the Abyss World.
• The Parasitic Seed reached the Abyssal Demon Tree’s core, took root, and began spreading World Tree roots through it.
• Xia Ping realized the World Tree could eventually parasitize and devour the Abyssal Demon Tree, though each seed required a major sacrifice of the World Tree’s origin energy.

Xia Ping took advantage of the North Nether Saint keeping the Devil Master occupied and entered the Devil Master's palace in the Abyss Forbidden Land. He looted a vast hoard of divine stones and divine artifact fragments, then spotted more palaces filled with treasures.

• Xia Ping entered a palace and discovered a trove of rare ores from the Abyss World, which he swept into his Space Ring.
