The Underworld Devil Lord and the Wisdom Logic Anomalies planned to exploit the loss of divination to kill Immortal Realm-level beings and reduce the population of the Nine Provinces Four Regions. The six from the Immortal Realm concealed the Underlying Logic remnant and prepared defenses as attacks loomed, while Li Qing observed the spreading Mist.

• The Underworld Devil Lord realized the Wisdom Logic Anomalies' plan and decided to use it to eliminate another Immortal Realm-level being.
• The Sky Ghost and Dao Thief agreed to proceed with their plan, ordering attacks to reduce the population below a hundred million and identifying Li Qing as their main obstacle.
• The Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord warned the other five from the Immortal Realm that a higher-dimensional existence had noticed them, and they hid the Underlying Logic remnant behind projections.
• The six from the Immortal Realm established a warning system, ordered cities fortified with formations and Dao Soldiers, and prepared to respond together to attacks.
• The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies' forces erupted across the four directions, and the six from the Immortal Realm sent projection avatars to suppress them.
• Li Qing studied the Mist obscuring the Heavenly Secrets Karma Fate River and wondered whether it would spread to the Infinite Universe's river.

Li Qing discovered that the Devil Lord had possessed a member of Xuanyuan Changlong’s Novelist School and regained temporary immortal-level power. He sought out Sun Tzu to explain the threat and ask for help, but the chapter ended before Sun Tzu responded.

• Li Qing reasoned that the Devil Lord might seize control of part of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and learned that his possessed host had disappeared.
• Li Qing sensed the Devil Lord’s avatar at the Hundred Herbs Plain and suspected it had discovered the Wisdom Logic Anomalies’ plan.
• Li Qing sent a duplicate of his Past Body into Xuanyuan Changlong’s camp through one of his spies and found Sun Tzu’s command tent.
• Li Qing told Sun Tzu that the Devil Lord’s avatar could briefly wield immortal-level power and asked him to deal with it.
• Li Qing explained that the immortals were moving in groups and that the Devil Lord might interfere with the plan to eliminate future threats.

Li Qing laid out a revised plan to kill one Wisdom Logic Anomaly and one Immortal, but Sun Tzu refused to give him another year of his lifespan to summon a second Immortal puppet. Li Qing left with the balance of power unresolved, while both men recognized that neither could safely force the other’s hand.

• Li Qing explained that the arrival of Concept Logic’s Immortal-level avatar had changed his goal to killing one Wisdom Logic Anomaly and one Immortal, and he asked Sun Tzu for another year of his lifespan to summon a second puppet.
• Sun Tzu refused to grant more than one year of his lifespan unless Li Qing’s existing Immortal puppet had been completely used up.
• Li Qing told Sun Tzu to support whichever side the higher-dimensional being threatened and to preserve the balance between the Immortals and the Wisdom Logic Anomalies.
• Li Qing’s duplicate vanished, and Sun Tzu concluded that Li Qing had intended to use additional Immortal puppets against him.
• Li Qing’s Present Body regretted that Sun Tzu had seen through the danger and concluded that he could eliminate at most one Immortal with the information he had.

As the four Children of Destiny gathered their armies at Hundred Herbs Plain, Zhou Tianjun’s vanguard established a vast mist formation to conceal their forces and prepare the battlefield. The Demon Gods watched from beyond the border, planning to intervene only when the battle’s outcome was near and retreat if the human armies united.

• Li Qinglian led three hundred thousand Dao soldiers toward Hundred Herbs Plain while the other armies prepared to converge there.
• Zhou Tianjun ordered thirty thousand vanguard troops to build 108 ritual-altars and camps across the plain.
• Zhou Tianjun activated the altars, spreading a dense mist across the battlefield to hide the forces gathered there.
• The four Demon Gods observed the mist from beyond the Southern Frontier border and agreed to wait for an opening to strike while avoiding a trap or a war of attrition.
• The vanguard armies of the four Children of Destiny arrived and began building camps and formations, shrouding Hundred Herbs Plain in fog.

Li Qing sent his present, past, and future selves to seek three Primordial Dharma Forms while the great powers focused on Hundred Herbs Plain. At Eternal Night Path’s headquarters, his present self mapped a deadly defensive formation and arranged for a disciple to help him get past it.

• Li Qing divided his three selves among West Province, Southern Frontier, and South Province to target the Primordial Dharma Forms of Eternal Night Path, True Treasure Path, and Monster Path.
• Li Qing’s present self hid in a tree near Eternal Night Path’s headquarters and sent a concealed duplicate down into the abyss.
• Li Qing used controlled insects to probe the fog formation, recording its effects and restoring its name as the Black Heaven Annihilation Array.
• Li Qing learned that the array reduced anyone without a guiding token to ash and decided he needed help from someone in Eternal Night Path.
• Li Qing contacted Dark Nether Daoist and ordered him to send a Divine Soul-level disciple to headquarters and keep the disciple there awaiting instructions.

Li Qing infiltrated the Eternal Night Palace through Dark Nether Daoist’s disciple Mingyuede and gathered information about the True Treasure Path’s Scripture Repository through Green Jade. He weighed the risks of raiding the repository while noting that entering the Demon Race’s main hall lineage would be more difficult.

• Dark Nether Daoist sent Mingyuede back to the Eternal Night Palace to guard a nearly thousand-year-old White Jade Dragon Ginseng.
• Li Qing’s duplicate attached itself to Mingyuede, took control of him, and ordered him to follow his master’s instructions while awaiting further orders.
• Mingyuede entered the Eternal Night Palace and returned to Dark Nether Daoist’s courtyard to inspect the medicinal field and cultivate.
• Li Qing’s future body used Green Jade to investigate the True Treasure Path’s mountain headquarters, its vital-essence gathering formation, and the location of its Scripture Repository.
• Li Qing’s future self considered whether the Scripture Repository held a trap and concluded that infiltrating the Demon Race’s main hall lineage would be more difficult.

Li Qing’s past body failed to find a way into the Demon Race Ancestral Hall, while the Great Ape King’s forces debated how to break through the border pass and intervene in the battle of the four Chosen of Destiny. The Hundred-Eyed Demon King proposed mobilizing the demon race’s full strength, but a Longevity Realm cultivator warned that the apparent weakness of the defenses could be a trap.

• Li Qing found the Demon Race Ancestral Hall too heavily guarded to enter, even after sending a replica underground through the earth veins.
• At the Great Ape King’s command tent, the demon leaders discussed attacking while the four Chosen of Destiny fought their decisive battle at Hundred Herbs Plain.
• A Longevity Realm cultivator explained that the demon race had to strike during the battle, but the fortified pass and its defenders blocked their advance.
• The Hundred-Eyed Demon King proposed calling in the reserve Dao soldiers and gathering all demon Longevity Realm and Dharma Form cultivators to break through the pass.
• A handsome Longevity Realm cultivator warned that the human forces might be feigning a withdrawal and laying an ambush in the fog-covered Hundred Herbs Plain.

The Demon Race emptied its cities to prepare for the coming battle, allowing Li Qing to move closer to searching for the Primordial Dharma Form. Meanwhile, Bai Junru awoke in Flower Island’s tomb and released a mist that transformed a Flower Palace cultivator into an Anomaly.

• The Great Ape King ordered the Demon Race to send out its cultivators, activate the city formations, and leave only a small force behind in each city.
• Li Qing saw a figure leave the Demon Race Ancestral Hall and planned to infiltrate the battle once it began.
• Bai Junru awoke in her coffin as flowers and roots formed a flesh-like body beneath her neck.
• Bai Junru floated out of the tomb, and a gray mist spread through Flower Palace and beyond.
• A patrolling Flower Palace cultivator was withered by the mist, went mad, and floated into the air with an Anomaly smile.

The Mist from Immortal Flower Palace transformed Flower Island’s people and creatures into flesh-and-blood flowers, consuming the island’s largest city. A powerful being trapped Flower Island within a radiant palm, but Bai Rujun’s giant mouth began pulling the palm inward as mysterious conceptual logic stirred.

• The Mist spread from Immortal Flower Palace, twisting cultivators, plants, and animals into flesh-like flowers.
• The Mist engulfed Flower Island’s largest city, turning its millions of inhabitants into flowers and spreading across the island.
• A True Method Realm cultivator fled Flower Island and sent a transmission talisman toward the experts who had left.
• A figure surrounded by forty-eight thousand rays of light noticed the disaster and summoned a huge radiant palm that enclosed Flower Island and the surrounding hundred miles.
• Bai Rujun’s enormous head emerged from the Mist and opened a vast mouth that began drawing in the palm and its light.
• A mysterious fluctuation of conceptual logic surged within the forty-eight thousand rays of light.

The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects sealed the indescribable power consuming Flower Island and investigated how it had emerged. He traced the incident to a mysterious Fate-less One or Child of Destiny who had entered the island’s grave, but could not identify them and suspected a ruler of the high-dimensional universe was involved.

• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects used his giant palm and turbid flames to compress Flower Island and resist its corrupting power.
• The island’s core survived the destruction, so the Patriarch sealed it inside a pure void within the high-dimensional world.
• The Patriarch examined the heavenly secrets surrounding Flower Island and found a trail linked to a Fate-less One or Child of Destiny.
• He traced the unknown person’s path from the Endless Cloud Sea to Flower Island and then into its grave about a month earlier.
• The Patriarch failed to identify the person and suspected that a ruler of the high-dimensional universe had sent them to harm his territory.

The Nine Sovereigns discussed a second outbreak of indescribable power and the mysterious Fate-less One linked to it, but none claimed responsibility. Fearing an unknown threat was manipulating events, they agreed to erase regions that interfered with fate and karma, despite the immense losses.

• Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects told the Nine Sovereigns that a Fate-less One had entered the tomb on Flower Island and left traces in the Endless Cloud Sea.
• Ever-Changing Indestructible Flesh Patriarch challenged the suspicion that a Sovereign had caused the outbreak, and the other Sovereigns guaranteed they had not unleashed indescribable power.
• The Sovereigns considered that a hidden lifeform or space-time Heavenly Dao might be using a Fate Chosen One or Fate-less One to spread chaos.
• The Lord of Western Heaven's Myriad Buddhas and Teachings asked whether the Fate-less One could be tracked, but Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects said the Endless Cloud Sea's Anomalies obscured heavenly secrets.
• Supreme Jade Heaven Treasure Radiant Emperor proposed that the Nine Sovereigns erase every region disturbed by those with or without heavenly fate, and the Sovereigns accepted the plan despite its immense losses.

The Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects’ Patriarch ordered the wars halted and began a coordinated purge of beings connected to the Fate-less One or Child of Destiny. Flower Island received a replacement island and its lost techniques, while Black God Island was overwhelmed by a spreading Mist and the Patriarch’s intervention left its fate uncertain.

• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects ordered all wars suspended, explorers recalled, and information gathered before a coordinated strike.
• The Endless Cloud Sea and Flesh Desert forces abruptly withdrew when the order reached the battlefield.
• Hua Lingzi received the cultivation techniques of Flower Island and a newly created island from the Patriarch, then thanked him as the island’s cultivators knelt.
• The Black God Palace Master found Black God Island engulfed by a strange darkness and led the cultivators in a formation against a half-bodied being made partly of Mist.
• The Black God Palace Master’s Great Black Heaven God-Extinguishing Light was swallowed, so he ordered a retreat as the Mist began consuming the island.
• A black hole and a gigantic hand of forty-eight thousand rays of light trapped the fleeing cultivators, many of whom exploded into gray Mist before the remaining power gathered into a dense mass of blackish-gray Mist.

After learning that the Nine Sovereigns planned to purge Fate-less Ones, Children of Destiny, and regions with tangled karma, Li Qing chose to spread the ancient mist across the high-dimensional universe to disrupt their search. He entered the infinite universe’s river of heavenly secrets, karma, and fate and located the Nine Provinces Four Regions at a point one hundred million years in the past.

• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects destroyed Black God Island and searched the other islands through the river of heavenly secrets, karma, and fate.
• Li Qing realized the Nine Sovereigns could use karmic traces to identify places he had visited and might purge Fate-less Ones, Children of Destiny, and regions with chaotic heavenly secrets.
• Li Qing learned that Wang Tong'er and Wang Linger were at risk, then weighed unleashing the indescribable power, grafting fate, or spreading the ancient mist.
• Li Qing decided to spread the mist throughout the high-dimensional universe, accepting the chaos it would cause.
• Li Qing used Great Projection Art to project Way of Changes onto the Flesh Tree and entered the infinite universe’s river of heavenly secrets, karma, and fate.
• Li Qing found the Nine Provinces Four Regions in the river and silently traveled to its point one hundred million years in the past.

Li Qing drew the heavenly-secret Mist from the Nine Provinces Four Regions a hundred million years ago into the infinite universe, then used the Record Book to investigate why the feat had gone so smoothly. He learned that the universe’s tendency arose from the game between Final Logic and The Indescribable, and watched the Mist continue to spread.

• Li Qing used Way of Changes to draw Mist from the Nine Provinces Four Regions’ river of heavenly secrets, karmic causality, and destiny into the infinite universe.
• Li Qing returned his consciousness to the Flesh Tree after spending nearly all the power in the Tribulation-Avoiding Grotto-Heaven and his Essence Stones.
• Li Qing questioned why no one else had achieved this and recorded his suspicions in the Record Book.
• The Record Book revealed that the universe’s tendency resulted from the game between Final Logic and The Indescribable.
• Li Qing concluded that both forces lay beneath his truth and decided he could benefit from the cracks in their game.
• Li Qing watched the Mist spread through the infinite universe’s River of Heavenly Secrets, Karma, and Fate, unnoticed for now.

As the four sovereigns sealed the Endless Cloud Sea and the Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects investigated the islands, mist from a hundred million years ago spread through the river of heavenly secrets, karma, and destiny. The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord blamed Li Qing and planned to exploit the crisis, while the Nine Sovereigns learned that the mist had made finding the Children of Destiny and Fate-less Ones nearly impossible.

• The four sovereigns raised barriers around the Endless Cloud Sea, while the Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects searched its islands for contact with the Fate-less One and the Child of Destiny.
• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects and the nine great sovereigns sensed the ancient mist spreading across the Endless Cloud Sea and the high-dimensional spacetime.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord traced the mist to the Nine Provinces Four Regions and deduced that its second Fate-less One, Li Qing, had entered the high-dimensional spacetime with a powerful treasure.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord concluded that Li Qing was using the crisis to distract him, advance Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, and gather information for a higher existence.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord resolved to keep the Nine Provinces Four Regions under his control, persuade the Eight Sovereigns, and draw Li Qing out.
• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects told the Nine Sovereigns that the mist had shrouded more than half the Endless Cloud Sea's karmic threads, making the search for Children of Destiny and Fate-less Ones nearly impossible.

After detecting a threat aimed at them, the nine Sovereigns purged suspected areas across the high-dimensional world and restored its surveillance systems. Li Qing realized the new defenses would disrupt his plans, and wondered how the Sovereigns would respond if the indescribable threat spread far enough.

• The Supreme Jade Heaven Treasure Radiant Emperor urged the Sovereigns to purge suspicious areas and restore full-domain surveillance, and the others agreed.
• The nine Sovereigns unleashed attacks across the high-dimensional world, destroying suspected regions and killing more than ten billion beings.
• The Flesh Tree realized that the Mist had concealed its location and another island, preserving Wang Tong'er and the World Pearl.
• The Sovereigns established a surveillance network across the Endless Cloud Sea, prompting Li Qing to move the World Pearl by having an Anomaly swallow it and fall under his control.
• Li Qing used the Jade Tablet to learn that the high-dimensional world had restored surveillance, blockaded its nine regions, and would detect vital essence above the State-Forming level.
• Li Qing recognized that the Sovereigns' rapid, methodical response threatened his plans and wondered what they would do if the indescribable problem spread far enough.

Li Qing used his new Stone Womb avatar to carry the Unspeakable power into the Flesh Desert and spread it among the flesh anomalies. As the power began infecting them, blood-cloud eyes spotted an anomaly shrouded in gray-black mist.

• Li Qing created a grotto-heaven within the Stone Womb, giving the avatar power near the Longevity Realm at the cost of its vital essence.
• The Stone Womb avatar entered the Flesh Desert through the Southern Frontier and concealed itself as a mote of dust.
• Li Qing duplicated himself and inscribed the Unspeakable Spirit-Calling Diagram onto a towering Flesh Tree.
• Over several days, Li Qing inscribed the diagram onto several more flesh creatures, each at least a thousand li apart.
• A strange fruit on the first Flesh Tree bloomed and released gray powder that spread across a hundred-li area, taking root in flesh anomalies and covering them in gray-black mist.
• Eyes in the blood clouds spotted one of the mist-covered anomalies and reacted with alarm.

The Ever-Changing Indestructible Flesh Patriarch detected the gray mist of destruction spreading through the Flesh Desert and unleashed a devastating attack that erased a vast region before sealing the remaining mist. He ordered all his dependents to hunt for its source, while Li Qing realized the danger and made the spread of the Indescribable Spirit-Summoning Curse more cautious and unpredictable.

• A Death-class flying Anomaly spotted the giant tree and reported the appearance of the power that destroys all things to the Ever-Changing Indestructible Flesh Patriarch.
• The Ever-Changing Indestructible Flesh Patriarch traced the power to gray mist that had parasitized flesh monsters and attacked it with a colossal claw of blood mist and flames.
• The Patriarch burned away everything across a vast region, compressed the surviving gray mist into a sphere, and sealed it in an empty spacetime layer.
• The Ever-Changing Indestructible Flesh Patriarch ordered his dependents to search for the being spreading the gray mist and promised the finder the power of the Wisdom Logic Anomaly and eternal life.
• Li Qing sensed the destruction, concluded that the higher-dimensional beings would sacrifice their dependents to eliminate threats, and spread the Indescribable Spirit-Summoning Curse at greater, irregular intervals.

Li Qing spread the Unspeakable Spirit-Calling Curse through captured Anomalies in the Endless Cloud Sea, prompting the Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects to order a purge. As the other rulers monitored the growing threat, the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord weighed whether to join or sabotage the coming war in the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

• Li Qing used the Flesh Tree to capture weak Anomalies, draw the Unspeakable Spirit-Calling Diagram on them, and release them across the Endless Cloud Sea.
• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects ordered his disciples to hunt tainted Anomalies and summon him after killing them.
• Five cultivators trapped a gray-mist-tainted phantom with lightning, then summoned the Patriarch to draw the remaining mist into a black hole.
• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects warned that the Indescribable power could damage the higher-dimensional world and the universe, and considered a major purge.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord suspected Li Qing was spreading the power to distract him from the Nine Provinces Four Regions and considered joining or sabotaging the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Li Qing explored the border of the Three Thousand Pure Lands and discovered that its radiant Buddhist civilization was built from the remains of countless lives. Unable to cross the sealed border, he spread The Indescribable elsewhere, where contaminated Anomalies began leaving behind mysterious Essence Stones.

• Li Qing observed the Three Thousand Pure Lands and saw that its temples, treasures, and Dharma artifacts were made from corpses and other human remains.
• Li Qing sent an Anomaly toward the border, but Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects' radiance reduced it to dust, leaving him unable to pass.
• Li Qing withdrew the Anomaly and continued spreading The Indescribable through other Anomalies.
• Over a hundred thousand monsters contaminated by The Indescribable appeared in the Flesh Desert, and Winged kin began clearing them out.
• A contaminated Anomaly left an Essence Stone behind, puzzling a Winged kin Anomaly and five Flower Island cultivators who had just slain another contaminated creature.

The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects and Li Qing discovered that The Indescribable’s influence was spreading through Essence Stones left by contaminated Anomalies. As cultivators began destroying the stones, the Patriarch warned the other high-dimensional figures that the power might be slipping out of control.

• Senior Brother Wang reported a tainted Essence Stone to the Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects, who recognized the aura of The Indescribable and warned cultivators across the Endless Cloud Sea to destroy all traces of contaminated Anomalies.
• Contaminated Anomalies lost their gray Mist and attacked Bright Island, where a patrolling cultivator killed them and unknowingly collected their tainted Essence Stones.
• Li Qing used the Principle of Civilization Seed Prototype to reveal a hidden gray shadow inside an Essence Stone and realized The Indescribable’s power was adapting and becoming contagious.
• Li Qing accepted that his plan had unleashed a danger he could not control, while reasoning that the Void Seed Plan could continue through the ten batches already sent out of the high-dimensional world.
• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects told eight other figures that contaminated Essence Stones could pass information from The Indescribable to cultivators and that orthodox techniques could not reliably filter it out.

The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master proposed using the nine rulers’ concepts to establish Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and control the universe’s resources through the Heavenly Court, Underworld, and Investiture of Gods List. The rulers recognized the plan’s immense potential, while Supreme Jade Heaven Treasure Radiant Emperor pressed the Devil Master about where he had obtained it.

• The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects warned that The Indescribable was spreading through hidden Anomalies and proposed destroying all life in the high-dimensional world before it grew stronger.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master said he had a solution and proposed building Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, the Heavenly Court, and the Underworld to regulate cultivation and end the universe’s chaos.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master shared information from the Yama Son of Heaven about creating the Investiture of Gods List and establishing divine positions.
• The eight other rulers studied the plan, which would let them merge with the universe’s origin and prevent future beings from escaping their control.
• Supreme Jade Heaven Treasure Radiant Emperor praised the plan but asked the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master where it came from.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Master kept his source secret and argued that the system would limit The Indescribable by controlling access to the universe’s vital essence and deploying countless celestial gods and underworld gods.

The nine Concept Logic Sovereigns approved the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord’s twelve-step plan to unify the universe, establish Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, and advance toward Final Logic. The Devil Lord secretly intended to use the plan as cover to seize three treasures in the Nine Provinces Four Regions, target Li Qing, and eliminate the other Sovereigns.

• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord outlined a twelve-step plan to provoke a war between low- and high-dimensional worlds, unify the universe, establish the Heavenly Court and Underworld, and control cultivation through Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Supreme Jade Heaven Treasure Radiant Emperor called for a vote, and all nine Sovereigns approved the plan.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord resolved to use the agreement as a distraction while he sought three secret treasures in the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• The Devil Lord planned to use the treasures to devour the Nine Provinces Four Regions and its hidden Concept Logics, then exploit the other Sovereigns’ weaknesses during the coming upheaval.
• The Devil Lord anticipated that Li Qing would react to the Investiture of Gods plan and believed either action or inaction would expose him to danger.

The Nine Great Rulers mobilized the high-dimensional world to hunt The Indescribable while secretly building a unified All-Beings Dynasty to provoke a universe-wide Investiture of Gods war. Li Qing uncovered their plan and saw an opportunity to change the balance of the infinite universe, but knew he had to accelerate his own plan in the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

• The Nine Great Rulers ordered their factions to enlist fighters, patrol their territories, and destroy The Indescribable, establishing a high-dimensional war command center.
• The Flesh Tree learned that Wang Linger had been conscripted and saw island cultivators transformed into a vast Dao soldier army.
• Li Qing used the Record Book to discover that the Nine Great Rulers planned to create an All-Beings Dynasty and a universe-level Child of Destiny to draw low-dimensional Heavenly Dao entities into war.
• Li Qing recognized the plan as an opportunity to expose weaknesses in the Nine Great Rulers' scheme, but judged that the low-dimensional Heavenly Daos would not act without a clear opening.
• Li Qing resolved to advance the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Investiture of Gods plan in the Nine Provinces Four Regions and gain control of the region quickly.

Li Qing guided the Stone Womb Grotto-Heaven through the Endless Cloud Sea and into the Three Thousand Pure Lands to find a target for the Unspeakable Spirit-Calling Diagram. Beneath a charnel forest, he discovered a dead monk cultivating as a Corpse Buddha and recognized a chance to use the situation to his advantage.

• Li Qing concluded that information would become useless if the universe's forces unified, and resolved to keep spreading Unspeakable power.
• The Stone Womb Grotto-Heaven used Anomalies to cross the Flesh Desert and the Endless Cloud Sea after the nine Sovereigns lifted their blockade.
• Li Qing reached the Three Thousand Pure Lands and found corpses beneath the soil, drained of vital essence into a network of earth veins.
• The Stone Womb Grotto-Heaven discovered an underground charnel forest filled with corpse-built trees, caverns, and countless bodies.
• Li Qing found a lifeless monk absorbing corpse essence and realized the monk was using the Corpse Buddha cultivation method to seek the Longevity Realm.
