• Chen Ming realized the collapsing world’s ownerless domains could become part of his mental world, then began absorbing the remaining origin and stabilizing the domains he crossed.

• Chen Ming tried to catch the little ghost with his own speed and spatial displacement, but it vanished and reappeared faster than he could follow.
• Chen Ming sent his nine Night Wanderer Forms to surround the little ghost, which darted away from him and appeared inside their encirclement.

Chen Ming failed to catch the elusive little ghost and called on the Sea God for help, who recognized it as an eternal attribute. The Sea God prepared a coordinated attempt to capture it, and Chen Ming opened a hidden Nether Gate as the Sea God emerged.

The Sea God sealed the region with Void Nails and cast [Mystic Abyss Heavenly Prison] to trap the Blue Fire Little Ghost. Chen Ming remained able to move through the Sea God’s confinement, but could not catch the Little Ghost before it escaped the nails and found itself trapped inside the closing Water Prison.

• Sea God confined Chen Ming and the Eternal Being inside a shrinking water prison, stopping the Eternal Being from escaping into the surrounding dead water domain.
• Chen Ming caught the Eternal Being, but it reversed time to return to its earlier position and break free.

• As repeated regressions weakened the Eternal Being, Chen Ming finally caught it before it could reverse time.
• Sea God urged Chen Ming to manifest his mental domain, and Chen Ming began pulling the Eternal Being into the Night Wanderer World.

Chen Ming captured an Eternal Being and discovered that it embodied 1% of a special form of eternal agility. The Sea God explained that this unique eternity could extend an Eternal Path beyond its usual 80% limit, leaving Chen Ming with a new path to pursue.

• The Sea God told Chen Ming that Eternal Paths normally ended at 80% and that the special eternal attribute could extend a path beyond that limit.
• Chen Ming recognized the concept as unique eternity.

Chen Ming learned that the Eternal Being in his mental space embodied unique eternal agility, while the final 20% of eternal defense remained an unsolved mystery. The Sea God warned him to conceal the being, then revealed that restoring Blue Star's world level might bring its Old Gods back; the Withered Spirit Old God Zone subsequently returned to normal.

• The Sea God explained that unique eternal attributes were scarce, and that no one had ever obtained the final 20% of eternal defense.
• The Sea God suspected the Night Wanderer God had once possessed unique eternal agility, while Chen Ming wondered whether the Eternal Being had come because of a special kindred being.

• Chen Ming arrived at the vast wasteland beside the God-Wounded Battlefield and met [Ji], who explained that the Barbarian God Old God Zone had disappeared from the territory.

The Giant Spirit Race captain switched sides and pledged to protect Gu Feng, while Chen Ming withdrew the threat and the captain tried to smooth things over with him.

• The Giant Spirit Race captain demanded Gu Feng hand over the Golden Sword, but the crowd behind Gu Feng objected when the giants appeared ready to protect him.

• Chen Ming withdrew the Trident, and the Giant Spirit Race captain greeted him while making clear that his pledge was meant to avoid conflict.

Chen Ming’s arrival forced the Giant Spirit Race to protect Gu Feng and the Purple Firmament Team, while he left without intervening. On his way toward the edge of the God-Wounded Battlefield, he discovered a Black Tide Zone occupied by five Divine Clerics he suspected belonged to the Canglan Race.

• Chen Ming appeared above the Sword God's Old God Zone, and the people who had cornered Gu Feng realized his presence had made the Giant Spirit Race back down.

• Chen Ming traveled toward the battlefield’s edge and found the Black Tide Zone, where he saw five Divine Clerics with dragon horns and guessed they were from the Canglan Race.

Chen Ming reached the God-Wounded Battlefield’s exit and scavenged spatial resources, weapon fragments, and bones from its high wall. He discovered a black-mist Old God Zone there and entered it, where a Class Changer’s Spirit Body appeared before him.

• Chen Ming left the Blood River Territory after spotting five members of the Canglan Race and reached the God-Wounded Battlefield’s exit.

• The wall shattered, and the High Wall’s turbulence teleported Chen Ming out of the God-Wounded Battlefield to the foot of a barren mountain.
• An unknown person asked Chen Ming why he was wreathed in sinister energy.

After emerging from the God-Wounded Battlefield, Chen Ming examined a damaged Soul Banner and discovered it could absorb Spirit Bodies and return Mental Origin. When he tested it, he found the returned origin was tainted by Erosion Force, so he severed the connection and left the banner’s hidden dangers unresolved.

• Chen Ming stored the Soul Banner in his mental space, discovered its black qi was eroding his Night Wanderer Land, and moved it to the Bone Tower Space, where it behaved itself.
• Chen Ming examined the damaged banner and learned it could absorb Spirit Bodies and return Mental Origin, though it could also cause backlash.
• Chen Ming used an origin clone to make the Soul Banner absorb several incomplete Spirit Bodies and received a trace of Mental Origin.
• Chen Ming sensed Erosion Force in the returned Mental Origin, severed his connection with the banner, and chose to proceed cautiously.

After nearby Class Changers fled from him, Chen Ming reunited with Qing Muyu and Qin Zhixue and reached Qingqiu City, a fortified settlement illuminated by Withered Spirit Lamps.

• Chen Ming decided not to risk his own mental origin as a Soul Banner Holder and considered using captured enemies to endure the banner's backlash.
• The Bone Tower revealed that spirit bodies absorbed by the Soul Banner could fuse with Bone Demons, so Chen Ming tested the combination and created Bone Demons with emerging consciousness and preserved abilities.
• Five Class Changers mistook Chen Ming for a member of the Soul-Capturing Clan and fled when he approached them.
