• Star Emperor summoned the remaining Star Masters and used his Star Evolution Chart to devour them and the Star Source Power of the Ten Thousand Stars Sea.

• Zheng Yi learned that the Star Emperor, Starlight Doumu Yuanjun, and the Queen Insect had perished, and the Ten Thousand Stars Sea and Zerg Nest had been destroyed.

After returning to the Chaotic Star Region, Zheng Yi found the Ascension Immortal Court greatly strengthened through the combined growth of immortal cultivation, the Incense Fire Divine Path, and Mechanical Civilization. He made the Chaos Black Dragon Cauldron the new recipient of the court’s faith, and it began absorbing vast Faith Power as he waited for the region to grow enough to fulfill its potential.

He then studied the Star Evolution Method as a path to tempering his body into a Star Body, continuing to adapt an ancient technique to his own cultivation.

• The Three Realms Divine Tree and Chaos Black Dragon Cauldron drew on stellar source power and believers’ faith to give birth to 365 star gods.
• Zheng Yi declared the star gods enfeoffed, and the Investiture of the Gods recorded their names and offices as believers and divine spirits worshipped him.

He sent the Ascension Immortal Court to search the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Ruins for Star Fragments while he continued cultivating, discovering the technique’s unusual connection to the universe’s stars.

• Zheng Yi recalled how the Star Emperor’s final breakthrough ended in madness and collapse, and worried about the danger awaiting cultivators who pursued that realm.
• Zheng Yi resolved to perfect his method through the Ascension Immortal Court’s faith incense fire and summoned the Star Fragments brought back by the Four Spirits War Generals.

Zheng Yi considered whether to shelter the surviving Star Lords of the Ten Thousand Stars Sea, who revealed that they had brought the seven Big Dipper Seven Stars Law Orbs as an offering. He recognized their immense value but demanded proof that they had truly preserved the treasures, leaving the Star Lords waiting under his overwhelming pressure.

• Zheng Yi dismissed the former Star Lords’ pleas for protection, judging their weakened strength and past ties to the Ten Thousand Stars Sea insufficient reason to risk threats from rival factions.
• The Star Lords revealed that they had brought the Big Dipper Seven Stars’ seven Time Law Orbs to offer in exchange for shelter.
• Zheng Yi realized the Law Orbs could greatly strengthen his command of time and stars, potentially raising his combat power among Grotto-heaven Masters.

• Zheng Yi pressed the Star Lords with his formidable presence while they waited anxiously for him to accept their offer.

The Literary Star Lord and the other Ten Thousand Stars Sea Star Lords offered a Big Dipper Dharma Pearl to Zheng Yi to seek protection from the Ascension Immortal Court. The pearl resonated with Zheng Yi’s Myriad Aspects Star Body, letting him glimpse the Time Mother River and prompting him to seek the remaining pearls.

• The Literary Star Lord revealed the Literary Star Dharma Pearl, which reacted powerfully to Zheng Yi’s stellar incarnation and awakened his Myriad Aspects Star Body.

• The Giant Gate Star Lord and the Prosperity Keeper Star Lord brought out their pearls, and Zheng Yi made all four vanish with a wave of his hand.

Zheng Yi sent the Lord of Machines to retrieve the remaining Big Dipper Seven Stars Law Orbs, while he studied the four already acquired and their connection to the Great Dao of time. The Lord of Machines rescued the other three Star Lords from a formation, but the Treasure Elephant Sect’s Grotto-heaven expert threatened war over the intervention.

• Zheng Yi learned that Army Breaker, Chastity Keeper, and Martial Song had the other three Law Orbs, then sent the Lord of Machines to find them.
