Li Qing escaped the Mysterious Unknown and Three-Part Daoist’s incarnations after exposing Hei Guda inside the black hole, where Hei Guda had killed over a hundred Dao-propagating experts. Li Qing planned to turn Hei Guda into a pawn against the Seven Supremes, while Hei Guda withdrew deeper into the black hole to protect his unstable Principles.

• The Mysterious Unknown and Three-Part Daoist’s incarnations realized Li Qing had tricked them and learned that more than a hundred pursuers had vanished inside the black hole.

Li Qing’s Future Body entered the Chaotic Dojo, protected by the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase’s Infinite Mechanism, hoping to find another Infinite Mechanism-level item. He began searching through the deadly Great Dao storms, but a huge indestructible fragment swept toward him.

• Li Qing directed his four battlefield identities to earn merit and improve their standing in the great sects while Fire Tree Daoist and Wood Spirit Daoist remained in hiding.
• Li Qing’s Present Body maintained the passage in the Ashes Land and continued directing his Divine Body to spread the Dao, reaching one billion people with a hundred thousand years left before the Supreme Cataclysm.

• Li Qing’s Future Body entered the dojo, where storms of combined Great Dao powers battered him but were annihilated by his protective radiance.
• Li Qing’s Future Body searched deeper among shattered spacetime and land fragments as a ten-mile-wide fragment with an indestructible ripple surged toward him.

Li Qing's Future Body crossed the Chaotic Dojo, enduring its storms and learning that Great Dao Yin Demons were untouchable phantoms. He then sensed Anti-Primordial Chaos power ahead and prepared to investigate.

• Li Qing's Future Body blocked a massive island fragment with Yin-Yang Generation and Restraint, Annihilating Myriad Daos, then refined its remaining immortal material into the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase.
• He continued through the Chaotic Dojo, surviving fierce storms and collecting immortal material to strengthen the vase.
• A Great Dao Yin Demon attacked him, and he learned that the phantom drew its power from the Great Dao storm and could not be captured.
• After repeated attacks, Li Qing's Future Body stopped trying to fight the demons and continued searching for valuable things while defending himself.
• He sensed Anti-Primordial Chaos power tainting the storm ahead and created a vacuum where wondrous runes began to emerge.

Li Qing's Future Body reached a horrifying battlefield of fused corpses and discovered fragments containing Infinite Mechanisms moving through the surrounding chaos. With Li Qing's Past Body and the Civilization Information Essence deducing the hidden order of the torrents, he positioned himself to catch another fragment.

• Li Qing's Future Body followed the superposition-state rune's signals through violent torrents and reached a relatively calm area around a mass of fused corpses.
• Li Qing's Future Body identified the bodies as Forward and Anti-Primordial Chaos experts, including at least two Supreme Mechanism beings and dozens of Infinite Mechanism experts.
• Li Qing's Future Body spotted a fragment emitting Infinite Mechanism fluctuations and began tracking it with help from Li Qing's Past Body and the Civilization Information Essence.
• Li Qing's Past Body deduced the hidden order of the chaotic forces, while Li Qing's Future Body captured two fragments and moved to where another would appear.
• A new fragment emerged from the torrent exactly where Li Qing's Future Body stood.

Li Qing's Future Body captured an Infinite Mechanism fragment and forged it into the killing sword Dao-Extinguishing. After seizing a second fragment, he barely escaped an attack from the mutated mass of flesh and blood, which appeared to contain more valuable fragments.

• Li Qing's Future Body captured an Infinite Mechanism fragment in the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase and identified its mechanism as the Heaven-Severing, Earth-Isolating Lifeless Mechanism.
• He used the Way of Civilization and Eternal Gold Crystal to complete the broken blade and named the resulting sword Dao-Extinguishing.
• Li Qing's Future Body studied the chaotic torrents, predicted where a second fragment would appear, and waited there to capture it.
• A head rose from the twisted mass of flesh and blood and attacked him with a terrifying Anti-Infinite Mechanism.
• Li Qing's Future Body combined the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase's power with Dao-Extinguishing to counter the attack, then escaped as sword-light.
• After reaching safety, Li Qing's Future Body realized the mass was not fully dead and considered searching it for more fragments.

Li Qing's Future Body restored a broken disc into the Fate Wheel, an Infinite Mechanism that controlled fate, and planned to use powerful flesh to forge another item for Anti-Li Qing. He attacked an Anti-Infinite Mechanism being fused into a mass of flesh, severed part of its head, and retreated as the other heads turned on him.

• Li Qing's Future Body used the Way of Civilization and a Fate Spirit Stone to complete the Myriad-Calamity Heavenly Secrets Fate Dao and named the restored item the Fate Wheel.
• Li Qing's Future Body considered forging an Anti-Infinite Mechanism item from the twisted flesh to help Anti-Li Qing break his deadlock.
• Li Qing's Future Body returned to the mass of flesh, which he suspected might eventually produce a being or treasure able to command both Positive and Negative Primordial Chaos.
• Li Qing's Future Body combined the Fate Wheel, Dao-Extinguishing Sword, and Yin-Yang Treasure Vase to strike an exposed head belonging to an Anti-Infinite Mechanism being.
• Li Qing's Future Body split off a third of the head and pulled the piece into the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase.
• The heads on the mass of flesh turned toward Li Qing's Future Body and unleashed their powers as he began to withdraw.

Li Qing's Future Body harvested pieces of a colossal flesh mass containing Anti-Infinite Mechanism power, learning that he could not refine them himself and would need Anti-Li Qing's help. After severing the mass's head and four arms, he triggered a dangerous eruption of Infinite and Supreme Mechanisms and escaped as the resulting vortex began to shrink.

• Li Qing's Future Body sealed a third of the flesh head in the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase and discovered that Forward and Anti-Infinite Mechanisms could not be refined together.
• Li Qing's Future Body concluded that Anti-Li Qing could use the Anti-Civilization Bell to refine the flesh, then sealed the possibility that a higher power had erased its consciousness.
• Li Qing's Future Body severed another portion of the head and stored it in the treasure vase, where it became inert and showed no sign of consciousness.
• Li Qing's Future Body sealed away the harvested flesh and repeatedly attacked the mass until he had cut off its four enormous arms.
• The flesh mass erupted with numerous Infinite and Supreme Mechanisms, forcing Li Qing's Future Body to flee as their power swallowed surrounding Great Dao storms and formed a shrinking vortex.
• Li Qing's Future Body survived the eruption and decided to continue harvesting the flesh despite the danger.

Li Qing's Future Body discovered that the immense flesh sphere was evolving toward a merger of Forward and Anti-Primordial Chaos powers, and he gathered fragments to create a balanced, fused radiance. He set out to forge a treasure capable of challenging the sphere, while his clone carrying the Dao-Extinguishing Sword struggled to reach the besieged Unique Universe.

• Li Qing's Future Body saw the flesh sphere transform and pulse with what he recognized as the rhythm of life.
• He cut a small fragment from the sphere, dodged its retaliatory force, and found that the flesh contained both Forward and Anti-Primordial Chaos matter and Infinite Mechanism.
• Li Qing's Future Body refined the fragment into energy and gathered more flesh until he formed a balanced structure of thirty-two Forward and Anti-Infinite Mechanisms and two Forward and Anti-Supreme Mechanisms.
• He decided to find indestructible matter from both Primordial Chaos and Anti-Primordial Chaos, then sent a clone carrying the Dao-Extinguishing Sword toward the Unique Universe.
• The clone traveled through Primordial Chaos as the Nine Great Alliances' Heavenly Dao Reincarnation vortices besieged the Unique Universe, making it difficult to cross the battlefield.

Li Qing's Future Body proposed sending surplus forces from the Nine Great Alliances through six Heavenly Dao Reincarnation passages to reinforce the battlefield inside the Unique Universe, while secretly infiltrating the incoming army. The seven Supremes decided to withdraw their forces from Primordial Chaos and gather them inside the Unique Universe, leaving the conflict poised to intensify.

• Li Qing's Future Body proposed using six passages to transport surplus troops from the thirty thousand universes to the main battlefield, and the Infinite Mechanism mighty figures approved.
• The Nine Great Alliances mobilized their armies and opened six passages through the Unique Universe's barrier as Li Qing's Future Body clone hid inside a soldier's mind.
• Li Qing's projection controlled the timing and flow of the armies entering the Unique Universe while monitoring the Supremes' responses.
• The seven Supremes discussed the troop deployment and agreed to preserve their strength by withdrawing from Primordial Chaos into the Unique Universe.
• Great Vow Daoist gathered the three thousand universes into a sphere wrapped in Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and sent them charging toward the Unique Universe.

As the Nine Great Alliances prepared to breach the Four Great Continents, Li Qing arranged to exploit the remaining time before the Supreme Cataclysm. Anti-Li Qing used the Counter-Way of Civilization to dissolve six sealed spheres and began restoring the Anti-Infinite Mechanism, reaching one-tenth completion after three thousand years.

• Li Qing told the Supreme True Demon that Great Vow Daoist’s effort to move three thousand universes showed the enemy was gathering its forces, and urged the alliances to expand into newly born and undiscovered universes.
• Li Qing’s Future Body avatar left the battlefield, traveled to the Hazy Domain, and delivered six sealed spheres from the Dao-Extinguishing Sword to Anti-Li Qing across the Anti-Primordial Chaos passage.
• Anti-Li Qing used the Anti-Civilization Bell to dissolve the spheres’ indestructible matter, revealing fragments of a skull and a set of arms and legs.
• Anti-Li Qing studied the exposed Anti-Infinite Mechanism and sent its flaws’ information to Li Qing’s Past Body so he could construct its incomplete Principles.
• After three thousand Unique Universe years, Anti-Li Qing returned to the passage with one-tenth of the Anti-Infinite Mechanism’s Principle structure restored and the scattered limbs fused together.

Li Qing used the Jade Tablet to restore the scannable parts of an incomplete Anti-Infinite Mechanism, then shaped Anti-Primordial Chaos flesh into a new avatar. Anti-Li Qing named the avatar Dao-Reversing True God and planned to unite the divine kingdoms around him while gathering materials for another treasure.

• Li Qing and Anti-Li Qing used the Jade Tablet, the Dao-Extinguishing Sword, and the Anti-Civilization Bell to study the flesh and blood and its incomplete Anti-Infinite Mechanism Principle.
• Anti-Li Qing sensed no will in the Jade Tablet’s Supreme Mechanism, while Li Qing concluded that it could restore only information within its reach.
• Anti-Li Qing merged an incomplete Counter-Civilization Infinite Mechanism Principle into the flesh, giving it a new will and a multicolored humanoid form.
• Anti-Li Qing named the avatar Dao-Reversing True God and identified its mechanism as Chaotic Order of Reversing Myriad Daos.
• Anti-Li Qing planned to build a naturally formed Sacred Domain around Dao-Reversing True God and unify the scattered divine kingdoms.
• Anti-Li Qing ordered the divine kingdoms and his projections to gather Anti-Immortal substances for the Future Body’s treasure.

Future Body Li Qing created the Chaos Pearl, a prototype supreme treasure capable of disintegrating principles, and sent the Fate Wheel to Past Body Li Qing. Past Body Li Qing prepared to use it to target everyone in the Origin Universe, while a major change disrupted Anti-Li Qing’s plans at Evolution True God’s divine kingdom.

• Present Body Li Qing gathered anti-immortal matter and delivered it to Future Body Li Qing outside the Chaotic Dojo.
• Future Body Li Qing combined positive and negative immortal matter with mechanism principles to form a transparent pearl, then bonded it to his Way of Civilization.
• The pearl disintegrated part of a great dao torrent by erasing its principles, and Future Body Li Qing named it the Chaos Pearl.
• Future Body Li Qing sent the Fate Wheel to Past Body Li Qing, who mastered it and prepared to create tribulations that would purge people from the Origin Universe.
• A major change disrupted Anti-Li Qing’s plans at the covert divine kingdom controlled by Evolution True God, an ant-person whose power governed the evolution of all things.

The Evolution Divine Kingdom fought off an attack by a subordinate god of the Decay Source True God, prompting the Sacred Domain to investigate the newborn realm. The Eternal Radiance Boundless Heaven Lord ordered its ruler to submit, and Decay Source True God delivered the edict as Evolution True God learned what a Sacred Domain was.

• Evolution True God clashed with the Decay subordinate god until the attacker withdrew and reported the newborn divine kingdom to Decay Source True God.
• Decay Source True God warned the Eternal Radiance Boundless Heaven Lord, who ordered him to demand the divine kingdom's submission and attack it if it refused.
• Decay Source True God carried the edict to the Evolution Divine Kingdom, where Evolution True God confronted him.
• Decay Source True God explained that Sacred Domains contained many divine kingdoms and were ruled by beings who surpassed True Gods.

Evolution True God accepted Eternal Radiance Boundless Heaven Lord’s edict and brought his divine kingdom into Eternal Sanctuary, where Anti-Infinite Mechanism began infiltrating and controlling its Great Dao. Li Qing recognized the sanctuary’s fate-linked chain as a system of parasitic control, while his hidden will imprint remained undetected.

• Eternal Radiance Boundless Heaven Lord offered Evolution True God entry into Eternal Sanctuary, and Li Qing calculated that refusing meant death while accepting carried danger.
• Evolution True God accepted the edict, received the sanctuary’s location, and built an altar to worship the Heaven Lord.
• Decay Source True God left after welcoming Evolution True God as family and urging him to bring his divine kingdom to the sanctuary.
• Evolution True God entered Eternal Sanctuary, where its Anti-Infinite Mechanism connected to his kingdom and began analyzing and infiltrating its Great Dao.
• Li Qing concluded that the sanctuary’s fate-linked chain let the Heaven Lord parasitize divine kingdoms, and he realized that only Infinite Mechanism could contend with it.
• The Heaven Lord’s Anti-Infinite Mechanism invaded Evolution True God’s mind and suppressed his Great Dao, but it failed to detect Li Qing’s hidden will imprint.

Anti-Li Qing discovered that the Counter-Way of Civilization could replace believers’ cultivation methods and sever their connection to the Infinite Mechanism. He began spreading it in secret and brought his independent wilderness divine kingdom into the incomplete mechanism, where its Principles started merging with the Ways of Civilization.

• Anti-Li Qing used Wind Chime to test whether the Counter-Way of Civilization could devour the Soul-Seizing True God's cultivation method while preserving its outward appearance.
• The Soul-Seizing True God sensed an anomaly but found no trace of Anti-Li Qing's intervention and tightened his watch over the divine kingdom.
• Anti-Li Qing decided to parasitize the sacred domain's believers with dormant Principles, concealing the change until a future decisive battle.
• Li Qing, the True God of the Reverse Way, brought Anti-Li Qing's independent wilderness divine kingdom to the boundary of Anti-Primordial Chaos and exposed it to the incomplete Infinite Mechanism.
• The Counter-Way of Civilization merged with the mechanism's Principles, allowing True Gods and believers to develop cultivation methods that would gradually complete it.

Anti-Li Qing began building a hidden Sacred Domain from 108 Divine Kingdoms while Li Qing's Past Body spread the Myriad-Calamity Heavenly Secrets Fate Dao across Primordial Chaos. The information it gathered advanced Civilization Information Essence, and Li Qing began using the Fate Wheel to target Light Source Daoist.

• Anti-Li Qing watched the 108 Divine Kingdoms form a hidden Sacred Domain and resolved to gather more bubble worlds to expand it.
• Li Qing's Past Body identified Light Source Daoist as his first target for testing the Fate Wheel's power.
• Li Qing spread the Myriad-Calamity Heavenly Secrets Fate Dao through Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and across Primordial Chaos, hiding its source.
• Li Qing seeded coordinate points with Projection Motes, which continuously gathered information and fed it into Civilization Information Essence and the Jade Tablet.
• The accumulated information caused Civilization Information Essence to develop traces of an Infinite Mechanism and approach completion.
• Li Qing focused the Fate Wheel on Light Source Daoist, drawing an unseen force of fate and calamity toward his fate.

Li Qing used the Fate Wheel to influence Light Source Daoist toward betraying the Origin Universe, then began destroying Light Source Daoist’s preaching universes to provoke him. After ten universes fell, Light Source Daoist confronted Dead Silence Daoist and demanded an explanation.

• Li Qing’s Past Body used the Fate Wheel to plant a tendency in Light Source Daoist to betray the Origin Universe and reveal Li Qing’s information to the Nine Great Alliances.
• Li Qing’s Future Body targeted a hundred universes tied to Light Source Daoist and arranged to destroy them, hoping to make Light Source Daoist panic and resent his allies.
• Li Qing sent the Civilization Universe to devour the first universe, wiping out Light Source Daoist’s incarnation and its Great Dao imprint.
• The Civilization Universe continued its attacks, destroying ten of Light Source Daoist’s preaching universes and reducing his power by one percent.
• Light Source Daoist sensed Li Qing’s civilization and confronted Dead Silence Daoist, blaming him for drawing him into the conflict and demanding an explanation.

Dead Silence Daoist recognized that Li Qing was destroying Light Source Daoist’s universes to pressure the group into betraying Origin Universe, but Light Source Daoist’s losses drove him to contact the Nine Great Alliances. Li Qing exposed the betrayal to the other controllers, who invoked the All-Beings Universe Judgment to strip Light Source Daoist of his authority and execute him.

• Dead Silence Daoist explained that Li Qing was targeting Light Source Daoist’s independent universes to provoke a betrayal and urged everyone to move their universes into the Nine Great Alliances.
• End Daoist and True Nature Daoist said they would cooperate with Li Qing to eliminate Light Source Daoist if he became a liability, while still seeking Li Qing’s treasure.
• Li Qing’s Civilization Universe destroyed more than half of Light Source Daoist’s universes as the survivors raced toward the Nine Great Alliances.
• Furious over his losses, Light Source Daoist sent a clone to contact the alliance’s upper echelons and prepare to reveal Origin Universe’s coordinates.
• Li Qing warned the other controllers that Light Source Daoist had betrayed them and that the Infinite Mechanism would soon attack Origin Universe.
• The Heavenly Emperors and Ghost Emperor invoked the All-Beings Universe Judgment to strip Light Source Daoist of his Heavenly Dao Reincarnation authority and sentence him to execution.

Light Source Daoist was executed after exposing Origin Universe’s coordinates, but Origin Universe escaped and the three thousand universes broke through toward the Unique Universe. The Nine Great Alliances’ diversion gave Li Qing’s forces an opening to seize ground and pressure the six great powers, whose armies began retreating.

• All beings learned that Light Source Daoist had betrayed them, and Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation erased his authority and destroyed him as Origin Universe made a random leap through Primordial Chaos.
• The twenty-five Infinite Mechanism great powers of the Nine Great Alliances attacked Origin Universe’s revealed coordinates but found it had already escaped, leaving their siege of the three thousand universes weakened.
• Great Vow Daoist led the three thousand universes through the blockade and toward the Unique Universe, where they entered a stalemate against the grand formation of thirty thousand universes.
• Li Qing told the Infinite Mechanism great powers that he would encircle the six great powers’ main forces, while Daoist Unceasing persuaded the Seven Supreme Mechanisms to order a strategic withdrawal.
• The six great powers’ armies retreated from the Four Great Continents as Li Qing’s forces seized the borders and attacked across all four fronts.

The six major powers began searching Primordial Chaos for Li Qing’s hidden universe while the Infinite Mechanism forces expanded their territory and gathered scattered universes. Li Qing responded by using the Fate Wheel to disrupt the links between powerful beings and their avatars, potentially making the avatars develop independent consciousnesses.

• The Infinite Mechanism forces withdrew most of their power, then sent six thousand universes across Primordial Chaos to gather or devour scattered universes and strengthen their array.
• The seven Supreme Mechanisms concluded that Li Qing had helped a concealed universe escape and agreed to search Primordial Chaos for it.
• The seven powers began monitoring universes, planning to descend if they found one disappearing without explanation.
• Li Qing detected their searches and worried that they would find the Backup Universe and trace the trail back to him.
• Li Qing activated the Fate Wheel to disrupt the connections between several powerful beings and their avatars, causing the avatars to receive differing information and potentially form independent consciousnesses.
