Li Qing's Past Body manipulated fate to keep Light Source Daoist dormant while planning to use him to expose and eliminate End Daoist and his allies. After warning the Origin Universe's leaders about the danger of their Dao-spreading avatars, Li Qing gathered them to prepare a trap for the three Daoists.

• Li Qing's Past Body used the Fate Wheel's Infinite Mechanism to suppress Light Source Daoist's thoughts while he restored his power.
• End Daoist, True Nature Daoist, and Dead Silence Daoist confronted Li Qing over Light Source Daoist's betrayal and the Judgment of All Beings.
• Li Qing warned that the Nine Great Alliances might question Light Source Daoist and discover their hidden avatars, and the three Daoists said they had already dispersed theirs.
• Lord of the Gapless Kingdom demanded an explanation, and Li Qing urged All-Heavens Divine Emperor to hide his preaching avatar.
• Li Qing drew the Six Great Kingdom Lords, five Unrecordable Gods and Devils, and the Root of the Indescribable's projection into a separate space-time and proposed forcing the three Daoists to betray them so Judgment of All Beings could destroy them.

Li Qing's Past Body enlisted the Six Great Kingdom Lords, the Unrecordable Gods and Devils, and the Root of the Indescribable to help suppress Dead Silence, End, and True Nature while fate secretly steered the three toward betrayal. The three decided to sell information about the Origin Universe to the Unique Universe's great sects, unaware that Li Qing had already detected their decision through the Fate Wheel and Jade Tablet.

• Li Qing's Past Body persuaded the Six Great Kingdom Lords, the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils, and the Root of the Indescribable to cooperate in eliminating outsiders and suppressing the three Daoists.
• Li Qing's Past Body used the Jade Tablet to locate and destroy the forces Dead Silence Daoist, End Daoist, and True Nature Daoist had cultivated in the Origin Universe.
• Dead Silence Daoist, End Daoist, and True Nature Daoist discussed their losses and concluded they needed to exchange information about the Origin Universe for resources.
• The three Daoists agreed to contact the First Line Great Sect and Demon Sect of the Unique Universe during the interval between Li Qing's information scans, hoping a Supreme Mechanism powerhouse would seize the Origin Universe.
• Li Qing's Past Body used the Fate Wheel to influence the three Daoists' fates, and the Jade Tablet revealed their decision to betray him.

Li Qing prepared a Fate Wheel trap to catch Dead Silence Daoist, End Daoist, and True Nature Daoist if they betrayed him. Dead Silence chose to act, and the chapter ended as the Unique Universe’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor, Daoist Unceasing, and Rahu Divine Venerable detected the information the three sent.

• Li Qing borrowed nearly ninety percent of the Origin Universe’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation authorities and used the Fate Wheel to influence and monitor the three Daoists.
• Dead Silence Daoist weighed abandoning Li Qing’s treasure against seeking resources, then decided they had no chance of defeating Li Qing directly.
• Dead Silence Daoist instructed True Nature Daoist and End Daoist to position their incarnations near the Unique Universe and wait for his signal.
• When a Jade Tablet information probe ended, Dead Silence Daoist sent the signal, and True Nature Daoist and End Daoist transmitted information through the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor, Daoist Unceasing, and Rahu Divine Venerable sensed the incoming information.

The Origin Universe judged and destroyed Dead Silence, True Nature, and End Doomsday after they betrayed it, then erased its own trail as it fled. Li Qing’s Fate Wheel delayed the Supreme Mechanisms pursuing the universe, leaving the Unique Universe’s defenses weakened and giving his forces an opening to attack.

• The Origin Universe declared Dead Silence, True Nature, and End Doomsday traitors, stripped their Heavenly Dao reincarnation authority, and destroyed their bodies.
• The Origin Universe jumped away and erased the traces of its departure before the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor, Daoist Unceasing, and Rahu Divine Venerable reached its former coordinates.
• Li Qing’s Past Body used the Fate Wheel to block Daoist Unceasing’s attempt to restore the erased coordinates, buying time for the Origin Universe to jump again.
• Daoist Unceasing drew on the power of seven Supreme Mechanisms to pursue the Origin Universe, weakening the Unique Universe’s defenses.
• Li Qing’s projection ordered the Infinite Kingdoms’ armies to launch a full-scale assault across the Four Great Continents.

Li Qing's Past Body used mass-bearing projections of the Origin Universe to confuse the seven Supreme Mechanisms during their pursuit, and they failed to recover its jump coordinates. Their power returned to the Unique Universe, where the Jade Ghost General retreated from a lost city as its defenses came back to life.

• Li Qing's Past Body created three mass-bearing projections of the Origin Universe and sent them toward different jump coordinates as decoys.
• Daoist Unceasing and the other six Supreme Mechanisms found four nearly identical coordinate fluctuations, chose the wrong one first, and then failed to reconstruct the traces at the correct location.
• Daoist Unceasing declared that the seven Supreme Mechanisms had lost the pursuit, and Daoist Immeasurable ordered their power withdrawn to the Unique Universe.
• The Supreme Mechanisms' power suppressed the Infinite Mechanism network and stabilized Great Vow Daoist's formation as the three thousand universes advanced toward the Unique Universe.
• The Jade Ghost General retreated with his troops from a city after evacuating its people and resources, while nearly one-tenth of the Four Great Continents had been lost.
• The Jade Ghost General's army reached a fortified city as the national formation's returned power erased the pursuing Infinite Kingdoms' attacks.

Li Qing exploited the Seven Supremes’ withdrawal to expand the Infinite Kingdoms’ territory and warned his allies that he would keep provoking conflict. After the Daoists realized they had been manipulated and Li Qing’s group prepared for threats against the All-Heavens Divine Emperor, the Emperor’s allies began examining why their enemies had fallen into Li Qing’s traps so readily.

• Li Qing told the Infinite Mechanism mighty figures that the Infinite Kingdoms had seized a tenth more territory and planned to create chaos to weaken the six major powers further.
• Vacuum Mother warned that Li Qing could exploit greed, while Dead Silence Daoist, End Daoist, and True Nature Daoist realized their choices had been influenced by a mysterious force they identified as a fate-like Tribulation.
• End Daoist proposed selling information about the All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s incarnations to the Infinite Kingdoms or the six major powers.
• Li Qing’s Past Body warned the All-Heavens Divine Emperor to withdraw his will and leave only his Great Dao imprints, and the Emperor vowed to choose the Origin Universe.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor asked his assembled allies why Li Qing’s targets had fallen into his traps so easily, and the Root of the Indescribable agreed that something was wrong.

The All-Heavens Divine Emperor and the other powerhouses swore an oath and created a protected space to detect Li Qing’s attempts to influence their thoughts through fate. They recognized that Li Qing might be targeting the Backup Universe, while Li Qing’s Past Body concluded that turning them against the Origin Universe would be difficult.

• The Lord of the Gapless Kingdom and the others wove their Daos into a stele, swearing not to betray the Origin Universe unless they all agreed, and left portions of their wills behind to monitor themselves.
• Li Qing’s Past Body used the Fate Wheel and Infinite Mechanism to influence the thirteen powerhouses, but their safeguards weakened the effect and alerted their fundamental wills.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor and the others concluded that Li Qing was testing them and that taking his treasure might no longer be possible.
• The lord of the Dream Kingdom warned that Li Qing’s independent universe might have grown large enough to threaten the Origin Universe, and the Root of the Indescribable reported a flickering connection to his Backup Universe avatar.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor urged everyone to bring the Backup Universe back and absorb it into the Origin Universe, while Li Qing’s Past Body considered how to make them betray it and judged the task nearly impossible.

Li Qing used the Fate Wheel to isolate the Backup Universe, severing the avatars’ ties to their true bodies, while the Civilization Universe arrived and trapped the Backup Universe under its superior power. The All-Heavens Divine Emperor and the Root of the Indescribable tried to expose its location to the Nine Great Alliances, but Li Qing had prepared for that threat.

• Li Qing sealed the space around the Backup Universe with the Fate Wheel, cutting off the avatars’ connections to their true bodies.
• The Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor urged the other second consciousnesses to flee to the Unique Universe and sell Li Qing’s information to the Nine Great Alliances, but the isolation prevented them from making a random jump.
• Li Qing moved the Civilization Universe beside the Backup Universe and used its greater power of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to suppress and imprison it.
• The Root of the Indescribable and the All-Heavens Divine Emperor decided to expose the Backup Universe’s coordinates and Li Qing’s independent universe to the Nine Great Alliances.
• Li Qing’s Past Body had anticipated their move, and the chapter ended as the Civilization Universe resonated with the surrounding chaos in a region where the Supreme Mechanism and Infinite Mechanism had not suppressed its fluctuations.

Li Qing hid the Backup Universe and the Civilization Universe inside a new isolated region, thwarting the Nine Great Alliances’ attempt to reach him. Meanwhile, the Unique Universe’s leaders prepared to use three thousand incoming universes to strengthen their forces, despite the risks posed by the coming Supreme Cataclysm.

• Li Qing used the Fate Wheel's Infinite Mechanism to move the Backup Universe and the Civilization Universe into a new isolated region, cutting them off from their former coordinates.
• The Nine Great Alliances’ twenty-five Infinite Mechanism great powers followed the All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s message, but arrived too late to recover the erased coordinates.
• Great Vow Daoist pushed three thousand universes into the core of the thirty-thousand-universe grand formation, bringing them closer to the Unique Universe.
• Daoist Unceasing discovered that Li Qing had taken the Backup Universe and that the Nine Great Alliances’ forces had failed to reach him.
• Daoist Immeasurable explained that the Backup Universe’s rulers had exposed it in hopes of using the Nine Great Alliances against Li Qing and possibly saving their connected universe.
• The Immortal Buddha Lord proposed distributing the three thousand universes’ cultivation opportunities among their Evolution powerhouses, while Rahu Divine Venerable warned that the resulting rise in Infinite Mechanism experts could carry serious risks.

The seven Supremes agreed to expand Dao propagation and intensify their search for Li Qing, while the three thousand universes were assimilated into the Unique Universe. Li Qing warned two hundred Infinite Mechanism experts that the new Dao-propagating campaign had begun.

• Immortal Buddha Lord persuaded the other Supremes to increase their strength by allowing more Dao transmission and sharing believers among propagators.
• Daoist Unceasing and Daoist Immeasurable agreed to keep searching for Li Qing and focus on seizing the will of the All-Heavens Divine Emperor.
• The three thousand universes entered the Unique Universe, compressed into stars, and merged their Heavenly Dao Reincarnation with its original system.
• The six major powers selected three thousand propagators to spread the Dao through the newly assimilated universes.
• The seven mechanisms allowed propagators in the Four Great Continents to claim more believers by sealing their statues or palaces temporarily.
• Li Qing told two hundred Infinite Mechanism experts that the three thousand Dao-propagating universes had arrived and their propagators had been sent out.

Li Qing united the Infinite Mechanism mighty figures behind a plan to help Dao propagators reach completion, while the Civilization Universe launched its final assault on the Backup Universe. The universes collided, beginning a war between their civilizations as Li Qing raced to finish before the Seven Supreme Mechanisms found them.

• Li Qing urged the Infinite Mechanism mighty figures to share resources, develop more experts who had completed spreading the Dao, and press the war against the Four Great Continents.
• The Supreme True Demon and Earth Source Immortal Venerable supported Li Qing's plan, and the assembled mighty figures agreed to cooperate.
• Li Qing warned that resistance from those controlling the universes would slow the effort and called on the Infinite Kingdoms to provide more believers to Dao propagators.
• The Civilization Universe surrounded and suppressed the Backup Universe with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power, then moved in to collide with it.
• Divine cultivators and celestial soldiers fought across the joined boundaries as the Civilization Universe deployed troops from its nine great civilization systems.
• An army of the Indescribable Civilization clashed with forces from the Backup Universe, until a second army of gods led by the second Root of the Indescribable arrived to fight them.

Li Qing's Civilization Universe steadily conquered the Backup Universe while Heavenly Dao Reincarnation blocked the enemy leaders from outside. After their attempt to contact their original bodies failed, the thirteen powerhouses planned to destroy the Backup Universe and escape through the resulting surge of power, unaware that Li Qing had positioned incarnations to intercept them.

• The Civilization Universe gained ground as Li Qing extended Heavenly Dao Reincarnation into the Backup Universe and used his information network to direct the war.
• The Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor and twelve other leaders gathered in the Heavenly Palace and agreed to contact their original bodies for help.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor failed to sense his original body or avatars because an unknown power severed their spiritual connections.
• The Second Root of the Indescribable proposed destroying the Backup Universe to generate enough power to break through Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and escape.
• Li Qing detected the leaders' plan and concealed thirteen incarnations near the Fate Wheel to wait for them.
• The Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor ordered the others to begin destroying the Backup Universe.

The Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor and twelve other experts escaped the Backup Universe’s collapse but were captured by Li Qing’s incarnations, while the Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor sent incomplete coordinates to the All-Heavens Divine Emperor. The seven Supremes arrived too late to find Li Qing’s departing universes, then split into groups to track down the correct coordinates.

• The Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor and the others triggered the Backup Universe’s collapse and directed its expanding torrent away from the Civilization Universe.
• Thirteen of Li Qing’s incarnations ambushed the escaping experts, sealed them, and returned with them to the Civilization Universe after the Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor sent incomplete coordinates.
• Li Qing absorbed the Backup Universe’s debris and prepared the Civilization Universe and three projections to jump away.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor sent the incomplete coordinates to the seven Supremes, and Daoist Unceasing used Infinite Possibility to reconstruct them.
• The seven Supremes reached the coordinates after Li Qing’s universes had vanished, traced several possible locations, and split into two groups to search.

Li Qing used the Supreme Mechanisms’ failed pursuit of the Civilization Universe to expand the Infinite Kingdoms and continued strengthening his universe by absorbing the Backup Universe. As the Supremes recognized the threat he posed, the All-Heavens Divine Emperor proposed that the Origin Universe seek protection from the Nine Great Alliances and surrender Li Qing.

• Daoist Unceasing and the other Supreme Mechanisms failed to track the Civilization Universe, while Li Qing’s armies captured more territory for the Infinite Kingdoms.
• The seven Supremes suspected that Li Qing had deliberately baited them into leaving the Unique Universe and feared he was building an independent universe to survive the Supreme Cataclysm.
• Li Qing absorbed the remnants and survivors of the Backup Universe, bringing the Civilization Universe to two hundred trillion light-years in scale and planning to keep searching for wandering universes.
• Li Qing sealed the thirteen second-personality avatars, including the Second All-Heavens Divine Emperor, to preserve a link to their sources and the Origin Universe.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor told the other twelve figures that Li Qing had corrupted their avatars and proposed surrendering the Origin Universe and Li Qing to the Nine Great Alliances for protection.

The All-Heavens Divine Emperor and the others redirected the Origin Universe toward the battlefield while Li Qing monitored their route and continued expanding his preaching. The chapter left Li Qing’s agents poised to exploit the confusion among the sects competing for believers in the Star Ring Universe.

• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor persuaded the others to move the Origin Universe toward the battlefield, create more Backup Universes, and seek support from the Nine Great Alliances.
• Li Qing’s Past Body warned them away from regions searched by the seven Supremes, and the All-Heavens Divine Emperor changed course to avoid those areas.
• Li Qing’s Present Body assessed the challenge of devouring the Origin Universe and focused on spreading the Dao across the Unique Universe and the thirty thousand universes.
• More than a thousand preaching figures arrived in the Star Ring Universe and exchanged access to teaching territories through the Infinite Mechanism’s resource exchange.
• Huang Yiming, a projection of Li Qing, continued leading the Antiquity Sect in a city where hundreds of newly arrived sects had made faith difficult to track.

Li Qing expanded the Way of Civilization by hiding its teachings within the doctrines of established sects, rapidly gaining followers across the Star Ring Great World and the Unique Universe. His projections gathered power from the growing faith, and Li Qing estimated that one could soon reach three billion followers.

• Huang Yiming distributed porridge to commoners, forming karmic connections that Li Qing used to transmit teachings of the Way of Civilization.
• Li Qing's followers spread disguised cultivation methods throughout the Star Ring Great World, growing into the tens of millions and rapidly condensing the Civilization Great Dao.
• As the six major powers opened their followers to subordinate disciples, Li Qing's projections used the new opportunities to spread the Way of Civilization across the Unique Universe.
• Xue Baoyu, a Huang Mountain Sect disciple in Dragon Lake City, opened a school and temple whose teachings secretly carried the Way of Civilization, attracting over a thousand believers.
• Li Qing sensed power flowing from his projections and estimated that three billion followers could be reached within a thousand years.

Li Qing had Fire Tree Daoist reveal his power on Little Spirit Mountain, prompting the Pill Cauldron Sect to consider recruiting him as the Supreme Cataclysm approached. Pill Spirit and Heavenly Dragon decided the sect’s ancestor should personally invite the reclusive expert.

• Li Qing calculated that the coming Supreme Cataclysm would bring unprecedented slaughter and told Fire Tree Daoist and Wood Spirit Daoist to begin acting.
• A Pill Cauldron Sect steward learned of the golden-robed immortal rumored to live on Little Spirit Mountain and reported him to the sect.
• Pill Spirit sent Supreme Elder Heavenly Dragon to investigate, but Fire Tree Daoist’s power overwhelmed Heavenly Dragon’s Concept Logic, and Heavenly Dragon fled.
• Heavenly Dragon told Pill Spirit that the Little Spirit Mountain resident was more frightening than the sect’s ancestor and likely close to completing the preaching of the Dao.
• Pill Spirit and Heavenly Dragon agreed to report the matter and have the Pill Cauldron Sect’s ancestor personally invite Fire Tree Daoist to join them.

Divine Pill Patriarch invited Fire Tree Daoist Li Qing to join the Primordial Great Sect, promising support as the world faced upheaval and the Infinite Kingdoms advanced. After accepting, Fire Tree Daoist accompanied him to meet Vice Sect Leader Spirit Vulture Lampfire Bright Daoist, while false memories replaced Li Qing’s original memories.

• Divine Pill Patriarch explained the sect’s entry requirements as they reached Vice Sect Leader Spirit Vulture Lampfire Bright Daoist’s palace.
• As they entered the palace, false memories replaced Li Qing’s original memories, making him the genuine Fire Tree Daoist.

Fire Tree Daoist passed verification and became an outer disciple of the Primordial Great Sect, while Wood Spirit Daoist Li Qing confronted the Spirit Root Sect over a disciple’s attempt to exploit a child’s wood marrow constitution. The chapter ended with Earth Wood Daoist confirming the disciple’s guilt and ordering him punished.

• Fire Tree Daoist passed Infinite Mechanism’s verification, joined the Primordial Great Sect as an outer disciple, and headed to the front lines with Patriarch Divine Pill.
• Wood Spirit Daoist Li Qing crippled Zhang Zequan for attempting to use a child’s wood marrow constitution in a forbidden art, then sent the child’s family to another city.

• Li Qing warned Earth Wood Daoist that the Spirit Root Sect would invite calamity by committing evil deeds, then ordered him not to cause further trouble.
• Earth Wood Daoist had Zhang Zequan interrogated and, after reading his confession, denounced his crimes and ordered him punished.

Earth Wood Daoist alerted Hundred Medicines Daoist to Wood Spirit Daoist, and Li Qing used the meeting to join the Spirit Root Sect and travel with Hundred Medicines Daoist to the Primeval Unity Daoist Sect. The Xuandu Boundless Great Dharma Celestial Master began examining Wood Spirit Daoist with his Infinite Mechanism.

• Earth Wood Daoist reported the powerful Dao-spreader to Hundred Medicines Layman, whose projection went to meet him.
• Hundred Medicines Daoist met Wood Spirit Daoist and learned that he had killed Hundred Medicines Daoist’s grand-disciple, whom Hundred Medicines Daoist condemned as a disgrace to the sect.

• The Xuandu Boundless Great Dharma Celestial Master examined Wood Spirit Daoist with his Infinite Mechanism.

Li Qing's Present Body confirmed that all six spies had infiltrated the Unique Universe, then set out to hunt for principle essences to refine into traces of Infinite Mechanism. He infiltrated Water Fish City and launched a concealed strike toward its formation-core banner, leaving the battle's outcome unresolved.

• The Grand Law Celestial Master accepted Wood Spirit Daoist as an outer sect disciple and sent him to the front lines, where Hundred Medicines Layman took him to reunite with his true body.
• Li Qing's Present Body confirmed that all six spies had infiltrated and arranged for a clone to maintain the passage while he left to hunt for traces of Infinite Mechanism.
• Li Qing's Present Body traveled to the border between the Infinite Kingdoms and the Primeval Unity Daoist Sect, seeking unguarded regions where he could collect principle essences.
• At Water Fish City, Li Qing's Present Body possessed soldiers from both armies in succession and quietly approached the city's formation core.
• Li Qing's Present Body focused on the formation-core banner behind Autumn Water Young Master and unleashed a powerful sword strike.

Li Qing’s Present Body destroyed Water Fish City’s array eye and killed Autumn Water Young Master, helping the Infinite Kingdoms army capture the city. The Supremes responded by monitoring battlefield cities for the attacker, but Li Qing went on to Starlight City despite sensing their surveillance.

• Li Qing’s Present Body destroyed Water Fish City’s banner and array eye, killed Autumn Water Young Master, and escaped with the principle essence.
• The Infinite Kingdoms army seized Water Fish City, slaughtering resisters and sealing those who surrendered.
• Autumn Water Young Master revived at half-step Evolution level and transmitted news of his assassination to the Primeval Unity Daoist Sect.
• Daoist Boundless and the other Supremes debated how to respond, then arranged for deputy sect masters to monitor cities across the battlefields.
• Li Qing learned through his Jade Tablet that the Supremes had begun watching the cities and decided he could still hunt targets with enough preparation.
• Li Qing’s Present Body silently descended on Starlight City and sensed the Infinite Mechanisms surrounding it.

Li Qing used the Fate Wheel to create a powerful projection, which infiltrated Starry Sky City and killed Jade Dragon Daoist before escaping Bright Daoist’s attack. After refining two Infinite Mechanism traces from Jade Dragon Daoist’s Principle essence, Li Qing began hunting across the territories of the six major powers.

• Li Qing’s Past Body used the Fate Wheel to create a projection of his Present Body and the Dao-Extinguishing Sword, then sent it toward Starry Sky City.
• The projection possessed soldiers and cultivators until it reached the formation’s core, where Jade Dragon Daoist was defending the city.
• The projection destroyed the Formation Banner and killed Jade Dragon Daoist, taking his Principle essence into the sword’s shadow.
• Bright Daoist’s Bright Dao Fire engulfed the area, but the projection and sword escaped through the Fate Wheel’s Network of fate.
• Li Qing refined two Infinite Mechanism traces from Jade Dragon Daoist’s essence and began hunting across the territories of the six major powers.

Li Qing’s attacks forced the Seven Supremes to divide their attention, but they responded by abandoning offensive operations and fortifying the four continents. Li Qing recognized that the defensive strategy would make their foundations harder to destroy and began preparing Infinite Mechanism forces for a war of attrition.

• Great Vow Daoist and the other Supremes concluded that Li Qing was using his Infinite Mechanism items to target their forces and weaken their plans.
• The Seven Supremes spread their power across battlefronts and search efforts, while Li Qing realized their surveillance would expose his projections but slow their search through Primordial Chaos.
• Rahu Divine Venerable said the Supremes had no effective way to force Li Qing out, and Daoist Unceasing proposed withdrawing their armies and kingdom formations into a defensive strategy.
• The Seven Supremes ordered fortresses built across the four continents, turning the cities into formation nodes designed to bleed Infinite Kingdoms’ forces.
• Li Qing saw that the Supremes had shifted to defense and decided to begin the next phase of his plan.
• At Barren Mountain Secluded Space’s Second Layer, Li Qing told the Infinite Mechanism mighty figures that they needed to increase their cultivator numbers to break through the coming war of attrition.

As the war in the Unique Universe intensified, Li Qing secretly prepared to cripple the Four Continents by infiltrating and destroying their supply networks. Meanwhile, rifts opened between the Forward and Anti-Primordial Chaos, and the Reversal True God prepared to cross into the Forward Primordial Chaos.

• The Infinite Mechanism powerhouses ordered more troops into the Unique Universe, while both sides spent heavily on assaults and fortress-cities, straining ordinary people and the economy.
• Li Qing nurtured believers who infiltrated commerce, aiming to seize key economic nodes and eventually sever the Four Continents' supply routes, especially those maintained by ordinary people.
• Rifts formed along the border of the Forward Primordial Chaos, where its power met the Anti-Primordial Chaos and created dangerous spaces filled with mist and ashes.
• Jin Tong emerged from a rift, tested the opposing power, and realized that entering the Forward Primordial Chaos would be perilous despite the growth he sensed it might bring.
• The Reversal True God arrived at another rift, recognized it as a path into the Forward Primordial Chaos, and put on an ancient garment in preparation for an invasion.
