• Wang Gang realized the Ancestor was gone, leaving the Supreme Unity Holy Land without its last defense.

Ye Lin showed Wang Gang scenes of the Supreme Unity Holy Land’s destruction and explained that its past actions had brought his revenge. As Wang Yu was held back by other Immortal Realm experts, Wang Gang stared blankly at the devastation.

• The Bloodthirsty Demon Sword thanked Ye Lin for avenging its great vengeance, and Ye Lin put it away.
• Ye Lin considered keeping his three clones rather than absorbing them, since absorbing them would only raise his cultivation to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.
• Ye Lin entered a cave, sat cross-legged, and told the three clones that it was time to collect some interest from them.

Ye Lin absorbed the memories and law comprehensions of his three clones, mastering four great laws as the worlds continued to develop. A hundred years later, Ye Buqu had reached the three hundred and fifty-second layer of Qi Refining and was walking toward a snow mountain after Taiyuan departed.

• Ye Lin absorbed his three clones' memories and comprehensions of the Destruction Sword Dao Rule, Time Law, Fate Law, and Great River Sword Dao Rule.
• The two worlds continued to develop as time passed.
• Taiyuan failed to discern Ye Lin and Little Red's whereabouts and found Ye Buqu heading toward a snow mountain.
• Taiyuan left after placing a wisp of his aura on Ye Buqu to protect him from danger.
• Ye Buqu continued climbing toward the snow mountain, having reached the three hundred and fifty-second layer of Qi Refining in a hundred years.

• Ye Lin checked his mission panel and saw his mid-stage Earth Immortal status, 35,860,000 luck value, and one Realm Advancement Opportunity.
• Ye Lin read that his destiny ended when the Star River Secret Realm collapsed and killed him in a spatial storm.

Ye Lin emerged from a century of seclusion with a powerful realm-increase reward saved as his trump card, and prepared to deal with pending matters before heading to the Star River.

• Ye Lin summoned wine and asked Taiyuan what had happened during his seclusion.
• Taiyuan reported that the world will had driven away the Devourer after absorbing the Heavenly Demon Great World's world will, then distributed merit to nearly every living being.

After the Devourer was driven away, Ye Lin prepared to leave for the Star River, while Taiyuan and Hong Batian planned to go with him. Ye Lin set out to visit old friends before departing, and Taiyuan decided to leave as well.

• Taiyuan explained that the world's will could only drive the Devourer away, not kill it, and told Ye Lin that most Immortal Realm experts had already left for the Star River.

• Ye Lin visited Taichu at Nameless Mountain and saw that worry over the faction had turned Taichu's temples gray.
• Ye Lin gave Taichu a Divine Source containing one of his incarnations to defend Nameless Mountain from powerful enemies.
• Ye Lin gave Taichu the Dawn Alliance vice alliance leader's Identity Token and said the Alliance would remain obedient for the next hundred years.
• Ye Lin urged Taichu to use the peaceful period to strengthen Nameless Mountain.

Ye Lin gave Taichu the means to protect Nameless Mountain and prepared to leave for the Star River. Before departing, he reunited with Ye Buqu, praised the path his disciple had forged alone, and left him gifts and a way to call for help.

• Ye Lin gave Taichu an Identity Token and explained that it would help keep the Dawn Alliance obedient for a hundred years.

Ye Lin entered the Star River after Hong Batian left to reunite with his family, while Ye Hong discovered that the Supreme Unity Holy Land had been destroyed and lost the treasures he had stored there. Ye Lin arrived in the desolate Star River and began considering where to go.

• Hong Batian entered a crimson gate to return to his parents, and Ye Lin let him go.
• Ye Lin broke through the void and entered the Star River, leaving his destination to chance.
• Ye Hong found the Supreme Unity Holy Land destroyed and learned he had lost his stored treasures and a million Top-Tier Spirit Stones.
• Ye Lin awoke amid the stars, found no living beings or familiar qi, and realized he was in the Star River.
• Ye Lin destroyed three moon-sized stars with a sword strike and wondered which direction to travel.

Ye Lin spotted a Star Sea Merchant Guild warship and stopped it after its crew tried to avoid him. Jiang Shengyi welcomed him aboard, while the old man with her recognized Ye Lin as a powerful expert.

• Ye Lin searched the desolate star field and spotted a huge warship approaching.
• Jiang Shengyi ordered the warship to change course after its Compass detected Ye Lin.
• Ye Lin appeared in front of the warship and asked to meet its crew.
• The old man judged Ye Lin to be at least in the Spirit Transformation realm, so Jiang Shengyi opened the protective barrier.
• Jiang Shengyi introduced herself and welcomed Ye Lin, who approached her without interest in romance.

Ye Lin traveled with Jiang Shengyi toward Purple Cloud Star and asked her to explain the local powers and their strength. He learned that the Purple Cloud Star System was far beyond the Xuanhuang Great World, though its factions were led by immortals he thought seemed surprisingly weak.

• Ye Lin asked Jiang Shengyi where she was going and learned she was headed for Purple Cloud Star.
• Ye Lin said he was going to Purple Cloud Star too and asked Jiang Shengyi for a ride and an account of the region's forces.
• Jiang Shengyi explained that the Heavenly Dipper Sacred Land, the Chaos Sacred Land, and the Primal Sacred Land governed the Purple Cloud Star System.
• Jiang Shengyi described how sacred lands and lower-ranked factions differed in their immortal leaders and foundations.
• Ye Lin realized he had lost contact with the Xuanhuang Great World and privately questioned how powerful the Star River's factions really were.

Ye Lin learned about the Starcolor Merchant Guild’s decline and prepared to travel to the Purple Cloud Star System while waiting for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar and his panel to awaken. Three days later, the panel finished upgrading as the warship continued through the Star River.

• Ye Lin learned from Jiang Shengyi that the Starcolor Merchant Guild had fallen from a second-rate to a third-rate force after a Heavenly Immortal elder died, leaving only an Earth Grade ancestor to guard it.
• Ye Lin decided to head to the Purple Cloud Star System, ask about One Breath Becomes Three Purities, and wait for the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar to awaken.
• Ye Lin saw that his panel was upgrading and would be unavailable for three days.
• Jiang Shengyi apologized and left to attend to her own matters, while Ye Lin rested aboard the warship.
• The old man watched Ye Lin and wondered whether the people he was expecting had arrived.
• After three days, Ye Lin’s panel finished upgrading.

After the panel upgrade, Ye Lin examined its new fortune and information features, then checked his own status. The panel still predicted that he would die in a Golden Immortal battlefield ruin, and Ye Lin had no recent opportunities.

• The panel upgrade added higher fortune ranks, realm-crossing viewing, an information channel, and karmic concealment.
• Ye Lin asked the information channel for the fastest way to reach Daluo Golden Immortal and rejected its price of one quadrillion fortune value.
• Ye Lin viewed his panel, which listed him as a mid-stage Earth Immortal with red Fate Rank and 35,860,000 fortune value.
• Ye Lin’s panel predicted that he would reach only initial-stage True Immortal before perishing in a Golden Immortal battlefield ruin.

Ye Lin and the Starcolor Merchant Guild were surrounded by starry sky bandits demanding that the warship lower its protective shield. Jiang Shengyi agreed to open it after Elder Wang promised to negotiate, leaving Ye Lin suspicious that she was walking into a trap.

• Ye Lin examined his status panel, then sensed that three warships had surrounded the Flying Boat.
• The bandits demanded that the crew lower the protective shield, while a subordinate reported their overwhelming forces to Jiang Shengyi.
• Elder Wang assured Jiang Shengyi that he knew the bandits and could negotiate, so she ordered the shield opened.
• Ye Lin recognized that the shield was their strongest protection and questioned a cultivator about the bandits.
• The cultivator explained that the bandits preyed on weaker targets and had attacked the Starcolor Merchant Guild because it was in decline.

Ye Lin intervened when Wang Dang and his forces threatened Jiang Shengyi and her ship, after Elder Wang betrayed her. He erased the attackers and demanded that Jiang Shengyi take him to the Purple Cloud Star System.

• Wang Dang’s forces waited outside the ship as its protective shield opened, and Elder Wang warned them about Ye Lin, then joined their side.
• Jiang Shengyi confronted Elder Wang over his betrayal, and Wang Dang threatened her while ordering Ye Lin to leave.
• Ye Lin told Jiang Shengyi he would resolve the trouble if she took him to the Purple Cloud Star System.
• Ye Lin made Wang Dang’s subordinates and the two Spirit Transformation cultivators vanish, leaving Wang Dang to kneel and beg for mercy.

Ye Lin killed Wang Dang and his men, then learned about Sacred Bank and accepted payment from Jiang Shengyi. He continued traveling with Jiang Shengyi, carrying her valuable cargo and hopes of helping her merchant guild still at stake.

• Ye Lin made Wang Dang explain the five Sacred Bank cards, then killed him after taking them.
• Jiang Shengyi explained that Sacred Bank was jointly established by the three Sacred Lands and that its cards could be used to withdraw deposits.
• Ye Lin put the cards in his Spatial Ring and considered Sacred Bank's wealth.
• Jiang Shengyi gave Ye Lin three thousand low-grade immortal stones to secure his help protecting her cargo.

Ye Lin traveled with Jiang Shengyi aboard the Starcolor Merchant Guild's war vessel toward the Purple Cloud Star System, learning about the guild's card limits and discovering Jiang Shengyi's hidden ambition and impending death. After three days, the vessel entered the vast star system, where Ye Lin found no Immortal Realm powerhouses.

• Jiang Shengyi explained the Starcolor Merchant Guild's ten card types and their spending limits to Ye Lin.
• Ye Lin examined Jiang Shengyi's panel and learned that she was destined to be assassinated in three days, though he decided it was not his concern.
• The war vessel traveled for three days toward the Purple Cloud Star System.
• Ye Lin opened his eyes as the vessel entered the star system and surveyed its stars and inhabitants with his divine sense.
• Ye Lin found no trace of an Immortal Realm powerhouse.

After departing the merchant ship in the Purple Cloud Star System, Ye Lin learned from the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar that they were far from the Lan'ang Star System and unlikely to return soon. The jar proposed traveling to Sky Cloud Star to strengthen Ye Lin’s soul and improve his cultivation, leaving him with a new growth plan.

• Jiang Shengyi told Ye Lin the merchant ship needed another month to reach its destination and that he could depart if he had other business.
• Ye Lin left the ship, then asked the Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar why it had fallen asleep; the jar said it had been digesting newly received memories.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar realized they were in the Purple Cloud Star System, more than ten million light-years from the Lan'ang Star System, and said they had become drifters of the star river.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar advised Ye Lin to acquire Immortal Grade techniques and resources because his existing methods were inadequate against Immortal Realm experts.
• The Heaven-Devouring Demon Jar suggested they visit Sky Cloud Star for its soul-focused inhabitants and holy spring, and promised to create a growth plan and share some of its former master's resources.
