Zhou Hao traveled to the Black Nether Great Universe node, earned Origin Coins, and used simulations to advance his cultivation. The simulations revealed a mysterious faction hunting Primordial Origin Realm cultivators, but Zhou Hao died whenever he was drawn into a region that collapsed his Dao Rhyme.

• Zhou Hao spread word of the mysterious faction’s attacks, then died after the Xi Ji Dao Master’s campaign against strange cultivators ended with a Great Universe’s collapse.

Zhou Hao’s simulations revealed that the Dark Domain was a region beyond the Origin River where Origin Lords sought a way to escape the collapse of their Great Universes, and that the previous controller of Infinite Hun Yuan Space may have tried to pass his burden to Zhou Hao. After returning to the Divine Domain Great Universe, Zhou Hao reunited with his family and confirmed that Zhou Ying'er and Zhou Qing'er had grown powerful in a nearby Great Universe.

• Zhou Hao left a Dao rhythm mark at the Nan Yan Great Universe node, then earned Origin Coins by forging weapons and refining pills.
• In his simulations, Zhou Hao and Azure Flower Venerable discovered that the Dark Domain lay beyond the Origin River and that its Origin Lords planned a cruel solution to their eventual destruction.
• Zhou Hao realized that the previous controller of Infinite Hun Yuan Space may have abandoned the controller authority to escape being an Origin Lord, possibly intending to send Zhou Hao’s original body into the Dark Domain.

Their warnings reached other Dao Masters, and the Southern Flame Dao Master arrived with evidence that Origin Lords were destroying Dao resonance imprints.

• Zhou Ying chose to remain in his territory and cultivate, while Zhou Hao left him resources and information about the Primordial Origin Realm.

• Zhou Hao forged weapons and sold talismans while gathering Origin Coins and a Simulation Point, until the Southern Flame Dao Master arrived with reports of Origin Lords destroying Dao resonance imprints.

Zhou Hao learned that the Source Masters were preparing to overturn the Origin River system, while Luo Feng and his allies continued searching for the sealed True Gate. Through simulations, Zhou Hao discovered a source cave leading to the Origin River’s dark source, where imitating the darkness’s breathing greatly accelerated Dao comprehension, but the Source Masters found and surrounded him.

• Zhou Hao told the gathered Dao Masters that the Dark Domain Organization had spread across one-third of the Origin River, and Desolate Spirit Dao Master speculated that the Source Masters sought a new system to survive the Origin River’s eventual collapse.
• Azure Flower Dao Master asked Xi Ji and Nan Yan to protect the Source Carriage Guild from infiltration by the Source Masters.
• Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Wuka, and Bolan discussed their failure to find the True Gate and suspected that the Eternity Council elders knew about their plans; Luo Feng ordered them to continue searching for Elder Shu.

• Zhou Hao used the creatures’ corpses to enter a source cave and reached the Origin River’s endless darkness, where imitating its breathing stopped his Dao resonance from dissipating and let him rapidly master more Great Daos.
• The Source Master forces found Zhou Hao in the darkness and surrounded him, using the bizarre creatures to wear him down until he perished in the simulation.

Zhou Hao used repeated simulations to learn about the Origin Lords’ Dao Beasts, improve his command of the Heavenly Dao, and build up the Origin River’s supply of Origin Coins. After reaching eight hundred and thirty Heavenly Dao and transforming into a half-Origin Body, he discovered the enemy’s hidden locations but concealed his strength while searching for a way to defeat their Dao Beasts.

• Zhou Hao learned that the Origin Lords had created Dao Beasts by studying the breathing of the Great Dao, and that they intended to use them to devour the Origin River and the dark region.
• Zhou Hao used simulations to master the Great Dao Whale Devouring Breathing Technique and strengthen himself, but he could not find the Dao Beasts’ weakness before the Origin Lords defeated the Dao Masters in the simulations.

• Zhou Hao reached eight hundred and thirty Heavenly Dao, transformed into a half-Origin Body, and located the Origin Lords’ lairs, but kept his aura hidden because their combined Dao Beasts could rival a Dao Master who had comprehended one thousand Great Daos.

Zhou Hao’s split soul survived a glimpse of the God of the End and gained a vast increase in power, while his simulation revealed that Dao Beasts would devastate the Origin River. His original body broke free from the True Gate and reunited with Luo Feng, and Zhou Hao began preparing to reunite with his split soul.

• Dark Spirit Origin Lord urged the Origin Lords to accelerate their Dao Beast cultivation and continue hunting Primordial Origin Realm experts before the Dao Lords discovered their plan.
• After twenty million years of seclusion, Zhou Hao emerged and used the simulator, which showed the Origin Lord faction unleashing Dao Beasts and Zhou Hao dying after seeing the true end.
• Zhou Hao claimed the simulation reward and endured a painful glimpse of the darkness and breathing presence, emerging with greatly strengthened consciousness and soul.
• Zhou Hao’s split soul contacted his original body in the Infinite Hun Yuan Space, where the original body used the Great Dao Whale Devouring Breathing Technique to master ten Hun Yuan Great Daos and reach the Primordial Origin Realm.
• Zhou Hao escaped the True Gate, explained its location to Luo Feng, and passed him the Great Dao Whale Devouring Breathing Technique.
• Zhou Hao resolved to help his original body break free from the Great Universe and reunite with his split soul.

Zhou Hao spread a simplified breathing technique to increase the number of Primordial Origin Realm experts and strengthen resistance to the Origin Lords, while using the resulting growth to earn Origin Coins for more simulations. As Dark Spirit Origin Lord urged the Origin Lords to accelerate their plans, Luo Feng broke through and learned of the Controllers’ conspiracy to destroy the Origin River system.

• Zhou Hao spent a simulator point, glimpsed the End, and decided to create and spread a simplified Great Dao Whale Devouring Breathing Technique to help Dao Ancestors break through.
• Zhou Hao gave the technique to Liuli, Xuan'er, Ning Yao, and the Dao Masters, urging them to travel in pairs, keep the method secret, and prepare for war with the Origin Lords.
• Over ten million years, the number of Primordial Origin Realm experts at the Great Universe nodes rose by nearly a third, and Zhou Hao earned 50,000 Origin Coins and completed two more simulations.
• Dark Spirit Origin Lord warned the other Origin Lords that the surge in Primordial Origin Realm experts suggested the Dao Masters were spreading teachings, then proposed launching their plan within two billion years.
• Luo Feng used the breathing method to control ten perfect Great Daos, learned from Zhou Hao that the Controllers intended to destroy the Origin River system, and vowed to stop them.

After understanding that he was the End’s primordial thought and that the Origin River was part of his dream, Zhou Hao left his dream life behind. He woke in the real world as someone scolded him for sleeping in.

• Zhou Hao used the simulator for the last time and realized that he had fused with the End’s consciousness.
• Zhou Hao left his secluded cultivation, ignored the coming war, and traveled with his wives through the Origin River and Infinite Hun Yuan Space.
• The Dao Masters attacked the Origin Lords, but the Origin Lords unleashed fused Dao Beasts and devastated the Dao Masters’ forces.
• Zhou Hao arrived in the Chaos Ruins and erased the Dao Beasts and everyone in the dream, then reunited his divided souls and turned away from the Origin River.
• Zhou Hao opened his eyes after hearing a voice complain that he was still sleeping.
