Huang Chao found Tang Saier and Xuchenzi in the Yin-Yang Tower, forced both to kill themselves, and learned that Gilgamesh, Genghis Khan, and Liu Xuande had gathered in the 666th layer of spacetime.

Li Hai admired the peaceful, technologically advanced human civilization he had helped create, then left it through a gate between worlds. He arrived in the Sixteenth World Pass, where the realm was collapsing and its new clearing requirement was to kill two colossal invaders.

• Li Hai sensed two enormous serpent-like monsters fighting thirty-six billion light-years away, and they stopped and turned their eyes toward him when he saw them.

Li Hai lost Demon Guile when two Abysses destroyed it, then killed the monsters and studied their skills. He realized the Void Abyss and its seventh layer might offer a way to travel vast distances and escape his predicament, but he had only begun investigating the Abysses’ nature.

• Li Hai learned that Void-Boring Wormhole could open a passage through the seventh layer of the Void Abyss to cross immense distances.
• Li Hai deduced that the Abysses were underworld species that had likely used wormholes to reach the illusory universe, and began studying why they had not reached the Yin-Yang Road node by ordinary means.

After upgrading his Abyss and other systems to Level 12, he reached the Immortal Dynasty Star Lord realm and suspected the Primordial Spirit system was meant to create an immortal dynasty.

• Li Hai's vast attack killed hundreds of millions of soul-like creatures and raised his Stronger Fragments from 5,336 to 9,020, but the creatures' fragment drop rate soon plunged almost to zero.

Li Hai advanced several of his systems to Level 12 peak and discovered that the Breaker system produced the Light of Sole Supremacy, a force that suppressed most other powers. He also broke through the Psionic system’s LV200 ceiling, gaining a powerful Warp-based enhancement, and wondered how large his Origin Realm would become at Level 12.

• Li Hai created a mindless Primordial Spirit True Immortal with his Immortal-Sealing ability, then destroyed it because he did not want such beings among his future immortals.
• Li Hai raised Magnetic Field Rotation to Level 12 peak and discovered he could resurrect himself by drawing energy from the spacetime vacuum quantum sea.

• Li Hai broke through the Psionic system’s LV200 ceiling, reached LV330, and regained a roughly hundredfold Warp combat power boost.
• Li Hai considered the possibility of increasing that boost further and wondered how large his Level 12 Origin Realm would be.

Li Hai expanded his Origin Realm and spent half a year opening hundreds of millions of wormholes until he found one leading to Shandu, a region of the underworld. After discovering that Shandu was vast and desolate, he traveled an immense distance and found an ancient technological ruin.

• Li Hai expanded the Origin Realm from three hundred million to thirty billion light-years in diameter, and the Warhammer Empire's citizens sensed the change.
• Li Hai repeatedly drilled wormholes through the seventh layer of the Void Abyss, dismissing passages that did not lead near the Netherworld.
• After half a year and hundreds of millions of attempts, Li Hai opened a wormhole to Shandu, a transitional region near the Netherworld's fixed lands.
• Li Hai entered Shandu and found an apparently boundless expanse of empty black land beneath a gray sky, with no rivers, mountains, houses, or ghosts.
• Li Hai crossed the desolate region repeatedly and, a hundred quintillion light-years from his arrival point, discovered an ancient ruin with a technological civilization's style.
