• Wen Ruxue led the nine sect masters into the Sect Master Hall, and Ye Lin wondered why such powerful figures were so idle.

Ye Lin called the powerful leaders of the world together and urged them to join an alliance against the transcendent forces expected to emerge when the great age of cultivation arrived in a little over two years. A deep-sea race member questioned whether an alliance could resist them, and Ye Lin replied that the Heavenly Dao would likely prevent the strongest experts from appearing freely.

• Ye Lin said ten Vice Alliance Master positions had been filled and ten remained vacant, stirring eagerness among the gathered races.

• Ye Lin agreed to include the ten sects in the campaign, then proposed that half the spoils go into an Alliance treasury jointly overseen by the Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Leaders.

Ye Lin prepared to lead an alliance force against the Black Sea, believing he needed greater strength for the coming great age. Three days later, a hundred Dao Integration True Lords and ten powerful warships arrived at Nameless Mountain to meet him.

• After the sect masters agreed to Ye Lin’s proposal, Taichu emerged from hiding and praised Ye Lin for uniting the Eastern Continent and the Endless Deep Sea.

• A hundred peak Dao Integration True Lords and ten enormous warships arrived at Nameless Mountain and greeted Ye Lin as the Alliance Master.
• Ye Lin recognized that the warships used forging methods from another era and decided the alliance needed to seize them.

Ye Lin led the Dawn Alliance’s overwhelming fleet to the Black Sea to destroy it for its alleged crimes. The Black Sea elders were left bewildered and alarmed by the massive force, especially the Imperial Clan’s warship.

• A hundred peak True Lords bowed to Ye Lin, and ten more emerged from Nameless Mountain to join the alliance’s forces.
• Ye Lin led eleven warships toward the Black Sea as ships from allied races across the Eastern Continent followed.
• The Imperial Clan’s bone warship sailed through the Endless Sea, and the races along its route bowed in submission.
• More than a hundred warships gathered at the Black Sea, and Ye Lin declared that the Dawn Alliance had come to eradicate it.
• A black-robed elder asked whether there had been a misunderstanding, while another alliance member insisted that they had come to level the Black Sea.

Ao Lie and the allied races breached the Black Sea and began slaughtering its inhabitants. A Black Sea Heavenly Lord confronted them, and an Imperial Clan cultivator offered to spare him if he submitted.

• Several Dao Integration True Lords attacked a black-robed elder, who fled through the portal into the Black Sea.

• Black-robed figures appeared to confront the attackers, led by a Heavenly Lord.
• An Imperial Clan cultivator offered to spare the Heavenly Lord if he did not resist, intending to make him a slave.

After the Black Sea forces fled, Ye Lin and his allies took control of the ruined territory and found the entrance to its treasure vault. They broke through the vault’s restrictions and opened the gate to a hall filled with Spirit Stones.

• The Black Sea’s old man threatened revenge before he and his people fled through spatial rifts.
• Ye Lin led the others in pursuit, then declared the Black Sea belonged to them and ordered them to build the Alliance Hall and their clan palaces.
• Ye Lin sensed the Black Sea treasure vault and led the group to its hidden entrance.
• An expert broke the vault’s twelve restrictions, revealing a pitch-black gate covered in mysterious gemstones.
• Ye Lin opened the gate and found a great hall filled with mountains of Spirit Stones.

The alliance's great powers were trapped in a dark grand array in the Black Sea, which devoured their vital essence and blocked communication. Ye Lin explained the ways to break an array, but the group had no clear way to escape before they were drained.

• The alliance members entered the great hall and were transported into a pitch-black Abyss surrounded by golden chains and mysterious runes.
• The imperial clan great power led the others in attacking the array, but their strikes vanished without affecting it.
• A voice from the void revealed that the array had been prepared for the alliance and grew stronger as its victims struggled.
• The imperial clan great power and Ao Lie realized the array drained vital essence and prevented divine sense communication.
• Ye Lin explained that they could escape by finding the array eye or overpowering the array, while Ao Lie regretted not bringing array masters.

Trapped in a formation that drained their vital essence, Ye Lin borrowed the mighty experts’ strength to unleash Bai Ling, an immortal artifact, in a bid to break free. His sword strike shook the formation, but the chapter ended before its success was revealed.

• Ye Lin argued that an attack powerful enough to exceed the formation’s limits could break it, while the mysterious watcher doubted they could manage it.
• Ye Lin opened the Chaos Sword Casket and revealed Bai Ling, a snow-white immortal artifact Long Sword.
• Ye Lin asked the mighty experts to lend him their strength, and they poured their power into him.
• Ye Lin channeled their combined strength and his spiritual energy into Bai Ling and unleashed the Sixth Sword, Enemy Slayer.
• Bai Ling’s Sword Qi struck the formation with a deafening boom, shaking the surrounding space and blasting several mighty experts away.

Ye Lin and the others escaped the shattered formation, discovered that most of the treasure vault had been looted, and began tracking down the attacker. Ye Lin then withdrew to cultivate while the Dawn Alliance rebuilt its headquarters, and Xiaoyao showed Nannan a cultivator’s power in the Southern Continent.

• Ye Lin broke through the grand formation with Bai Ling, and everyone escaped through the spatial rift before the formation shattered.
• Ye Lin ordered the mighty experts to hunt down the person who had stolen most of the treasure vault’s contents, and the Imperial Clan experts departed to pursue the culprit.
• Ye Lin left the depleted vault, said he had achieved his goal, and returned to Nameless Mountain to cultivate while the Dawn Alliance rebuilt its Black Sea headquarters.
• In the Southern Continent, Xiaoyao felled a colossal beast and told Nannan she could gain such strength by studying diligently under him.
• Nannan stared in shock and asked Xiaoyao whether she really could become that strong.

Xiaoyao and Nannan reached a city after traveling for three months, and Xiaoyao explained that Nannan could grow strong enough to revive her parents. Nannan resolved to become stronger as they continued their journey.

• Xiaoyao told Nannan to call him Master and explained that his Dao suited her but might not suit her brother.
• After three months of travel, Xiaoyao and Nannan reached a city populated mostly by grotesque creatures of the Demon Race.
• Xiaoyao ordered tea and pastries for Nannan, who admitted she was hungry after going three months without food.
• Nannan asked whether her parents were dead, and Xiaoyao told her they had gone to another heaven and earth and could be revived by someone powerful enough.
• Nannan resolved to become stronger so she could revive her parents.

Xiaoyao questioned a waiter about why humans were rare in the city and asked him to explain the Southern Continent. The waiter described its five regions and revealed that the Great Wasteland was a barren place used to house criminals.

• Xiaoyao noticed that the teahouse and its patrons were made up of strange creatures rather than humans.
• Xiaoyao offered the waiter three Top-Tier Spirit Stones, persuading him to sit and answer questions.
• Xiaoyao asked the waiter to explain the layout of the Southern Continent.
• The waiter said the continent had the Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow regions, where the myriad races lived and cultivated.
• The waiter explained that the Great Wasteland lacked spiritual energy and manifested laws, so it was called the Crime Continent and used to house vicious criminals.

After learning that the Great Wasteland was a sealed prison with scarce spiritual energy, Xiaoyao decided to take Nannan to a human settlement. He carried her as she fell asleep, while the waiter celebrated the three Top-Tier Spirit Stones Xiaoyao had given him.

• The waiter explained that the Four Lands had sealed the Great Wasteland and exiled criminals there, and that humans were scarce in its city.
• Xiaoyao realized the Great Wasteland’s thin spiritual energy suppressed his cultivation and would prevent Nannan from cultivating, so he asked where the Human Race’s golden age of cultivation was.
• The waiter answered “Xuan,” and Xiaoyao gave him three Top-Tier Spirit Stones before leaving with Nannan, who had eaten three pastries.
• The waiter reflected that the Great Wasteland relied on supplies brought every hundred years by the forces behind well-connected exiles, making spirit stones exceptionally rare.
• Nannan asked where they were going, and Xiaoyao said he would take her somewhere lively that belonged to humans; she fell asleep on his back as he walked.

Xiaoyao reached the Great Wasteland’s formation core and destroyed it after its guards refused to open the seal. The array collapsed, and Southern Continent powers arrived to suppress the fleeing inhabitants and investigate the breach.

• Xiaoyao found the exit from the Great Wasteland and arrived at the formation core, where five peak Spirit Transformation cultivators guarded the seal.
• Xiaoyao demanded that the guards open the seal, but one of them refused and told him that the people of the Great Wasteland belonged there.
• Xiaoyao unleashed a golden light that erased the formation core and its five guards, breaking the grand array.
• The inhabitants of the Great Wasteland rushed to escape, but powerful figures from the Southern Continent arrived and suppressed them.
• A Southern Continent figure ordered an investigation and repairs, while the gathered powers wondered how a True Lord-level expert had appeared in the Great Wasteland.

Xiaoyao settled on a mountain in the Mystic Land and spent more than two years teaching little Nannan his Dao. As the great age approached, the world expanded and cultivation opportunities multiplied, while the Dawn Alliance grew to include more than two hundred races.

• Xiaoyao built a grand hall on a mountain in the Mystic Land and left a few Demon Beasts nearby for Nannan to practice on later.
• Xiaoyao began teaching five-year-old Nannan his Dao, ensuring she memorized teachings she could not yet understand.
• Xiaoyao took Nannan out to play occasionally while continuing to teach her over the following years.
• Ye Lin cultivated at Nameless Mountain as the Eastern Continent and deep sea remained calm ahead of the great age.
• More than two years later, the Dawn Alliance included over two hundred races, the world was expanding rapidly, and ancient treasures and cave abodes were appearing as the great age drew near.

The world’s spiritual energy surged and its laws grew easier to comprehend, signaling the start of a great age that alarmed the rulers of the Profound Yellow Realm. Three days later, terrifying auras arrived and new continents descended, while a Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal discovered that the awakened Heavenly Dao would oppose powerful outsiders.

• Ye Lin sensed the world’s sudden changes and recognized that a great age was beginning, though it would bring disaster as well as opportunity.
• Xiaoyao noticed the changes while teaching Nannan but told her they were of no concern to him.
• Three days later, overwhelming auras spread across the world, and new continents descended and began connecting with the existing lands.
• A Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal tried to reach through a light screen, but the Heavenly Dao severed one of his fingers.
• The Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal suspected the Heavenly Dao would bar powerful figures and seized a frightened person from the void.

Ancient powers from previous eras learned that Heavenly Dao limited them to Dao Integration cultivation and planned to slaughter the living beings of the current era. Ye Lin gathered the Dawn Alliance’s leaders to discuss how to respond to the descending factions.

• A mysterious figure realized that Heavenly Dao’s protection restricted outsiders from previous eras to Dao Integration cultivation, then vanished.
• The descended factions’ ancestors agreed to kill the living beings of this era so they could claim the great era’s resources for themselves.
• Ye Lin alerted the alliance’s great powers and rushed to Dawn Alliance headquarters to coordinate a response.
• Ye Lin took the highest seat at the alliance assembly as the ten transcendent factions’ masters arrived.
• Ye Lin asked the assembled leaders how they should deal with the descending factions.
