Chapter Summaries

Zheng Yi hid near the planet where a Chaos Spiritual Root was about to mature, waiting for the Nine Chaos Sects and other forces to fight over it. As he used the Eyes of Time to inspect the seven-colored light, he discovered that the supposed Chaos Spiritual Root was actually a World Tree sapling.

• Zheng Yi concealed himself near the planet and decided to wait until the Nine Chaos Sects and outside forces weakened one another.
• The Chaos Spiritual Root began to emerge, and the Nine Chaos Sects guarded the planet while powerful outsiders waited nearby.
• Zheng Yi surveyed the sect leaders, including Saint Origin Daoist, the Blood Sea Lord, and the old man from the Facing Heaven Sect, and judged the Facing Heaven Sect leader especially formidable.
• Zheng Yi opened the Eyes of Time and saw through the seven-colored light surrounding the emerging seed.
• Zheng Yi recognized that the seed was a World Tree sapling, not an ordinary Chaos Spiritual Root.

Zheng Yi waited until the World Tree sapling matured enough, then used the Eyes of Time to slip through the battlefield and reach it at the planet’s core. He began pushing through the sapling’s world-wide rejection, intent on devouring it with the Devouring Mother Tree.

• The World Tree sapling sprouted by draining the abandoned planet’s life and replacing its planetary will with a new world origin.

• Zheng Yi reached the World Tree sapling, faced the malice of its world will, and advanced through its restraints using the Eyes of Time.

Zheng Yi summoned the Big Dipper Seven Stars’ power to suppress the World Tree on the abandoned planet, while the sect leaders and Blood Sea forces attacked to claim it. As the Black Tortoise Shield faltered against the Blood Sea, Zheng Yi formed a Seven-Star Grand Formation to drive the attackers back.

Zheng Yi used the Big Dipper Seven Stars to suppress the World Tree sapling and helped the Devouring Mother Tree seize its body, transforming it into a Devouring World Tree. As the new tree devoured the planet and nearby cultivators, the White Deer Old Man retreated and the Mechanical God guarded Zheng Yi, while two powerful forces approached.

• Zheng Yi summoned the Big Dipper Seven Stars to crush the Blood Sea and suppress the Blood Sea Lord while the Mechanical God blocked the White Deer Old Man.

• The Devouring Mother Tree became a Devouring World Tree, grew beyond the planet, and began devouring the planet and nearby powerhouses.

Zheng Yi used the Devouring World Tree and the Big Dipper Seven Stars to open an Inner Grotto-heaven within his body, establishing a new world and breaking through his cultivation bottleneck. The Void Thunder Tribulation descended in response, and Zheng Yi prepared to face it with the tree as his foundation.

• The Devouring World Tree absorbed the Pure Yang Sword Sea and the Blood Sea, binding Saint Origin Daoist and the Blood Sea Lord until both escaped.

• Zheng Yi summoned the Devouring World Tree's immense projection behind him as he awaited the tribulation.

Zheng Yi endured the universe’s Void Tribulation Lightning as the Devouring World Tree absorbed it and helped him open a self-sustaining Grotto-Heaven. The tree then formed an Ascension Dao Fruit, while a mysterious young man traveling toward the Sky Feather Sect appeared at the edge of the Extreme North Star Region.

• The Devouring World Tree devoured the Void Tribulation Lightning and resisted increasingly powerful attacks from the universe’s Great Dao.
• Zheng Yi used the World Opening Method of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Divine Pivot Injection to establish a Grotto-Heaven within himself and break through to a higher level.
• The Devouring World Tree gathered the absorbed lightning power into an Ascension Dao Fruit, whose Dao meaning entered Zheng Yi’s mind.
• A mysterious young man aboard a flying vessel asked Luo Bo how much longer they would take to reach the Sky Feather Sect.

Xuan Yin sensed the Ascension Dao Fruit and sent four Void Shadow Clan assassins to seize it. Zheng Yi continued cultivating in his star-powered Inner Grotto-heaven until the assassins attacked, and the chapter ended as the Four Symbols appeared around his starry domain.

• A black hole swallowed the reconstructed assassin, and an enormous palm emerged from the darkness as Black Tortoise Divine Lord realized another enemy was present.

Zheng Yi destroyed three Void Shadow Clan experts and pursued the stolen Ascension Dao Fruit to Xuan Yin’s warship. He sealed Xuan Yin and Luo Bo inside a Time-Space barrier and attacked them, seeking to settle the theft and claim the Great Dao Embryo.

• Zheng Yi crushed three Void Shadow Clan experts with his grotto-heaven will and absorbed their scattered shadows through the Devouring World Tree.

• The Ascension Dao Fruit exploded and formed a sealed Time-Space barrier around Xuan Yin, Luo Bo, and their cosmic warship as Zheng Yi arrived.
• Zheng Yi accused Xuan Yin of stealing his Dao Fruit and charged into the sealed space with a devastating attack.

• Zheng Yi examined the Glass Immortal Heart and considered using it to advance the Mechanical God and the four Mechanical Guardian Deities, while Luo Bo continued attacking the barrier.

Zheng Yi fed the Glass Immortal Heart to the Mechanical God and the Four Mechanical Guardian Gods, giving them Mechanical Grotto-heavens and creating a vastly stronger Steel God and Demon Body. He used the new form to battle Luo Bo in the sealed space, where the clash continued with Zheng Yi gaining the advantage.

• Zheng Yi divided the Glass Immortal Heart into five pieces and fed them to the Mechanical God and the Four Mechanical Guardian Gods.

• Zheng Yi’s Devouring World Tree consumed the Green Willow Dao Root’s Source Power while the Mechanical God and four Guardian Spirits stabilized the collapsing Shadow Grotto-heaven.

After destroying the Shadow Grotto-heaven, Zheng Yi returned to the Big Dipper Starfield and spent decades cultivating and preparing materials. He began forging a Black Dragon Cauldron using the eighteen strands of chaos Source Power from Xuan Yin’s Great Dao Embryo, and the cauldron’s form emerged.

• Zheng Yi devoured part of the Shadow Grotto-heaven’s Source Power, escaped its collapse, and ordered the Mechanical God to return him to the Big Dipper Starfield.
• Zheng Yi spent eighty years cultivating inside the sealed Big Dipper Divine Palace while its seven stars supplied him with Source Power.
• Zheng Yi studied the eighteen strands of chaos Source Power in Xuan Yin’s Great Dao Embryo and decided to use them as the core of a treasure.
• Zheng Yi refined tens of thousands of divine metal and spiritual materials with pure starflame over a century, then spent another half year completing their purification.
• Zheng Yi began forging the Black Dragon Cauldron, shaping the materials around the eighteen strands of chaos Source Power until a three-legged, two-handled cauldron with eighteen black dragon sculptures took form.

Zheng Yi infused the Black Dragon Cauldron with chaotic source laws, but the eighteen black dragons rebelled and threatened to corrupt his Starlight Grotto-heaven. He used the Eyes of Time to freeze them and the surrounding domain, while the Seven Star Lords concealed the disturbance and waited for him to emerge.

• Zheng Yi spent more materials refining the Black Dragon Cauldron before preparing to add the black dragon phantom formed from eighteen strands of chaotic source law power.

• The Army Breaker Star Lord and the other six Star Lords sensed the disturbance, and the Army Breaker Star Lord was injured when he tried to investigate.
• The Seven Star Lords agreed not to interfere or spread word of the event, then activated the Big Dipper Star Concealment Formation to hide the Divine Palace.
• Zheng Yi saw that the Star Lords had acted cautiously and returned his attention to refining the Chaos Black Dragon Cauldron.

Zheng Yi completed the Chaos Black Dragon Cauldron by subduing eighteen Chaos Black Dragons with the Ascension Immortal Court’s incense power, then used it to transform and expand his Starlight Grotto-heaven. After thirty years of secluded cultivation and drawing on the seven Big Dipper stars, he neared another breakthrough as their awakening consciousnesses gathered within him.

• Zheng Yi borrowed the Ascension Immortal Court’s incense power to suppress the eighteen Chaos Black Dragons, refine them as Dharma protectors, and complete the Chaos Black Dragon Cauldron.

• Zheng Yi understood why Starlight Doumu Yuanjun had made a deal with him and supported him as Big Dipper Divine Lord.

Zheng Yi learned that his Time Divine Spark was needed to anchor the Star Emperor’s revival through the All-Heaven Stars Great Unity Body-Shedding Method, but the role could drag him into the River of Time if it failed. He accepted the task, then secretly prepared a safeguard by using his Divine Path incarnation, the Three Realms Tree, and the Chaos Black Dragon Cauldron to create opposing divine and demonic forces as the basis for virtual Great Zhou stars.

• Starlight Doumu Yuanjun explained that Zheng Yi’s Time Divine Spark could guide the Star Emperor’s soul back, and Zheng Yi realized that serving as the Life Gate’s anchor would put his life at risk.

As the strain of the attempt threatened to exhaust him, Starlight Doumu Yuanjun watched from afar and focused on the sleeping Star Emperor in a crystal coffin.

• Zheng Yi used divine eggs and Demonic Tumors from the Three Realms Divine Tree to create 365 simulated stars inside the Chaos Black Dragon Cauldron.
• Zheng Yi invoked the Eyes of Time and drew on his authority over the Big Dipper Seven Stars to connect his simulated array to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea's 365 Prime Stars.

• Zheng Yi endured the overwhelming stellar resonance, which shook his Chaos Starlight Grotto-heaven and caused blood to seep from his eyes and ears.
• Starlight Doumu Yuanjun sensed Zheng Yi's actions but dismissed them, then spoke of the sleeping Star Emperor in a crystal coffin and the imminent end of their ten-thousand-year plan.
