• Lu Ye met a familiar young man beside a Cosmic Primordial Embryo, who explained that Abyss had embedded its power inside the newborn universe.
• Lu Ye found that Abyss’s power could not be removed without endangering the universe, so he and the young man decided to let it mature until it could be fought.

• Lu Ye recalled that the young man was an ancestor of the Dragon and Phoenix Races and learned that the ancestors had placed chains in the Origin Realm to restrain the True Saints.

• After several days of recovery, Lu Ye contacted the Dragon Sovereign and asked about Ba Qiu.
• The Dragon Sovereign said Ba Qiu had failed to advance and was in an abnormal condition, while other Inner Realm City Lords gathered around him.

• The Dragon Sovereign told Lu Ye that Ba Qiu's pursuers were preparing to attack him, and Lu Ye readied his Dao force reserves and Myriad Poison Bead before traveling to the Hehe Realm.

• Lu Ye used Fang’s power to travel to One Man City, where he found Ba Qiu pale, unstable, and wary of him.
• Lu Ye saw the Dragon Sovereign fighting Hongtu, the Phoenix Lord pressing Gu Mingyue, and Baxia battling Xuan Wuzong while Xiao Qianchen kept Zong Shenliang occupied.

• Lu Ye concluded that Ba Qiu had likely cut off his own advancement to avoid becoming a puppet, provoking the Star Abyss Will and leaving him too injured to fight.

• Fu Wei charged between Lu Ye and Xuan Wuzong, and Xuan Wuzong’s sword struck him as both fighters turned to look.

Lu Ye and Fu Wei joined forces against Xuan Wuzong, but Lu Ye found that Yuan Xi City's Uniting Dao Pearl barely amplified his power. Lu Ye turned Xuan Wuzong's lightning strike back with Blood Calamity's Azure Dome Mirror, leaving Xuan Wuzong engulfed in lightning.

• Lu Ye sensed Yuan Xi City nearby, but discovered its Uniting Dao Pearl only increased his strength slightly because the Star Abyss Will restricted him from borrowing power.
• Fu Wei returned to the battle and joined Lu Ye in pressing Xuan Wuzong back with coordinated attacks.
• Xuan Wuzong targeted Fu Wei, but Lu Ye used a mark to switch places with him and met the attack with the Azure Dome Mirror.
• The mirror shattered after reflecting Xuan Wuzong's lightning, and the reflected strike broke through his defenses and engulfed him.

Lu Ye and Fu Wei forced Xuan Wuzong to retreat, and Lu Ye went to hear Ba Qiu’s request after the battle. Ba Qiu shared the secrets of the Origin Realm, then suddenly struck Lu Ye with a saber, leaving him grievously wounded.

• Lu Ye wounded Xuan Wuzong with the Azure Dome Mirror’s help and, with Fu Wei, drove him to flee as the other enemy fighters also withdrew.

• After saying Lu Ye could not refuse the favor he wanted, Ba Qiu suddenly slashed him, leaving Lu Ye badly wounded and Fu Wei stunned.

Lu Ye learned that Ba Qiu had sacrificed his foundation and challenged him to a final life-or-death battle. As they fought evenly in the Void, the Phoenix Lord began to suspect that Yang Fengxian was deliberately helping Gu Mingyue escape.

• Ba Qiu attacked Lu Ye with his Giant Blade, but Lu Ye quickly burned away its Sealing Power and healed his wound.
• Ba Qiu burned his life source and explained that he had severed his foundation to escape a greater danger, then demanded that Lu Ye fight him without holding back.
• Lu Ye accepted Ba Qiu’s challenge, and the two began an evenly matched battle with no restraint.
• Ba Qiu and Baxia watched as the fighters exchanged devastating blows, while Ba Qiu’s wounds healed more slowly than Lu Ye’s.
• The Phoenix Lord pursued Gu Mingyue with Yang Fengxian, but noticed that the Dragon Sovereign’s mistakes repeatedly gave Gu Mingyue chances to recover.

Ba Qiu fought Lu Ye to the death and died, passing his legacy into Lu Ye’s saber. Afterward, Lu Ye mourned Ba Qiu and learned that Fu Wei’s strength and survival were bound to his own.

• The Dragon Sovereign told the Phoenix Lord that Ba Qiu was fighting Lu Ye to the death and had burned his life essence so Lu Ye could inherit his will; she chose not to interrupt them.
• Lu Ye respectfully saw Ba Qiu off, then shattered the Giant Blade with the Crag Mountain Saber and killed Ba Qiu, absorbing the weapon’s fragments into his blade.
• The Phoenix Lord collected Ba Qiu’s body and left with the Dragon Sovereign, while Baxia vanished and left behind the Divination Tribe’s clan-protecting turtle shell.
• Lu Ye grieved over Ba Qiu’s death and asked Fu Wei how his strength had grown so greatly.
• Fu Wei explained that his strength and life were linked to Lu Ye through the Divination Tribe’s Innate Divine Ability, and Lu Ye vowed to stay alive.

After killing Ba Qiu, Lu Ye claimed One Man City's Universe-tier Uniting Dao Pearl, and the city crumbled with it. Back in Yuan Xi City, he decided to resign as City Lord and put forward Fu Wei as his successor.

• Lu Ye shattered One Man City's Uniting Dao Pearl, found its core fragment, and gathered the fragments before the city broke apart.
• Su Yan showed Lu Ye the Moon Wheel, which had awakened after Ba Qiu's death; Lu Ye explained that it might one day regain its former strength and had sought revenge on Ba Qiu.
• Lu Ye told Yuan Xi City's cultivators that he was stepping down as City Lord because he could no longer draw on the Uniting Dao Pearl's amplification.
• Zhu Yin questioned who could replace Lu Ye, and Lu Ye indicated Fu Wei, whose unusual strength and sufficient foundation made him a possible successor.

Lu Ye returned to the Phoenix Nest after learning that the Outer and Inner Realms had fused, and he told the Dragon Sovereign and Phoenix Lord about the Origin Realm and its True Saints. He asked to borrow the Primordial Parasol Tree’s power to travel to a distant place, leaving his destination unresolved.

• Fu Wei explained that his strength could not exceed Lu Ye’s, so becoming City Lord would bring little benefit, and Lu Ye left Yuan Xi City in the others’ care.
• You Die told Lu Ye that the Outer and Inner Realms had likely fused, and Lu Ye realized the Origin Realm might merge next and threaten him with its True Saints and Half Saints.
• Lu Ye returned to the Phoenix Nest and told the Dragon Sovereign that Yang Qing, the Dragon Race’s Second Generation Ancestor, was a True Saint in the Origin Realm.
• The Phoenix Lord appeared, identified Saint Qi as the Phoenix Race’s Seventh Generation Master, and told Lu Ye not to blame himself for Ba Qiu’s death.
