• Ye Lin saw that the Starry Sky was crowded with protected prodigies and hidden Primordial Unity Golden Immortals as a black hole formed at the realm’s center.

• Ye Lin killed a Chaos Behemoth with a punch and absorbed its blood qi, sensing that the nourishment was awakening and strengthening his Chaos Sword Body.

• Li Xiaoyao accepted, summoned the Wind Thunder Twin Hammers, and headed alone toward the depths of the Starry Sky as Ye Lin vanished into the mist.
• The prodigies in the Chaos Secret Realm were chased by beasts far stronger than they expected, and rumors spread that ten Dragon Clan prodigies had barely escaped one Chaos beast.

• A Human Race prodigy told Ye Lin that three Reincarnation Flowers grew in the canyon and that four alien race foundation-level prodigies had died trying to reach them.

• Ye Lin accepted the map, took two more Reincarnation Flowers, and left the area.

• Human Race prodigies asked Ye Lin about his latest trial, and he left after saying it had gone well.
• Ye Lin arrived at a lake that the white worm had identified as the home of the Extreme Cold Grass and two great snakes.
• Ye Lin forced the white and green snakes back with his power, then summoned the Emperor Sword and attacked the white snake.
• Ye Lin struck the green snake with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and realized that both snakes had strong defenses but relatively weak strength.
• Ye Lin examined the two snakes and discovered the reason for their unusual abilities.

Ye Lin spared two pregnant giant snakes in exchange for all the Frigid Grass, then encountered the aftermath of a coalition’s costly victory over a chaotic behemoth. Hong Batian contacted Ye Lin about hunting the beasts while Ye Lin stood beside one he had killed with a single slap.

• Ye Lin recognized that the two giant snakes were pregnant and demanded their Frigid Grass in exchange for sparing them.

• After consuming the beast’s flesh, Hong Batian quietly contacted Ye Lin and asked whether he could hunt chaotic behemoths.
• Ye Lin received Hong Batian’s question while standing beside a chaotic behemoth he had just slapped to death.

• Following the white insect’s information, Ye Lin arrived in a dense forest where peaches were said to be found.

Ye Lin entered a Chaos Secret Realm to obtain Immortal Peaches and Immortal Peach Wine from the Chaos Spirit Monkeys. After negotiating with their guardian, he collected the treasures and left the question of the guardian’s hidden strength unresolved.

• Ye Lin destroyed the shadows attacking him in the forest, then faced a giant gorilla who identified itself as the guardian of the secret realm.
• Ye Lin asked for thirty thousand ripe Immortal Peaches and thirty thousand jars of well-aged Immortal Peach Wine, and the gorilla agreed.
• Chaos Spirit Monkeys brought the peaches and wine, and Ye Lin sampled them before storing them in his Spatial Ring.
• After Ye Lin asked for a hundred thousand peaches, the gorilla threatened to make trouble and offered him an extra twenty thousand instead.
• Ye Lin accepted the offer and gathered the treasures, deciding not to test the guardian’s unknown trump cards.

Ye Lin left the monkeys and slaughtered Chaos behemoths in the Chaos Secret Realm as ten years passed. The Star River Cosmos descended into chaos, and the Primordial Unity Golden Immortals watched as its laws and cultivation resources vanished.

• Ye Lin left the monkeys after taking what he needed, and a disguised figure demanded Flat Peaches and wine before the gorilla struck him down, leaving only a yellow talisman.
• Ye Lin slaughtered Chaos behemoths and stored their corpses in his Spatial Ring.

• Primordial Unity Golden Immortals watched the catastrophe without intervening as living beings suffered and bloodthirsty secret arts resurfaced.
• The Star River Cosmos's laws and cultivation resources dwindled, disrupting smaller worlds and closing the path ahead for living beings.

Two thousand years into the calamity, the Star River Cosmos had lost its cultivation resources and Heavenly Dao, leaving cultivators to decay or turn to killing for survival. Primordial Unity Golden Immortals feared the Heavenly Dao would destroy them along with the world, and they wondered what it would do after the calamity.

• Two thousand years passed as the Heavenly Dao withdrew, resources disappeared, and demons and monsters ran rampant through the Star River Cosmos.
• Golden Immortals without resources began to lose their realms, while low-level cultivators turned to evil arts that used the flesh, blood, and souls of the living.
• A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal lamented that the world had entered an age of ending and predicted that the calamity would leave fewer than one in ten thousand alive.
• Primordial Unity Golden Immortals worried that the Heavenly Dao might target them, since they had drained the Star River Cosmos for ages.
• A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal questioned whether the strengthened Heavenly Dao would reopen the world or destroy itself and the Primordial Unity Golden Immortals together.
