Li Qing and the Spacetime Heavenly Dao discovered universe-level Children of Destiny, while Li Qing’s incarnation sensed its own destiny passing to a newborn child.

• The Nine Great Rulers pledged to bear the universe’s will, then sent the Investiture of Gods List into the Cosmic Origin to establish a million divine positions.

• Desolate Age decided to send an incarnation to High-Dimensional Spacetime, then faced a wave of void contamination and raised his power to resist it.

Desolate Age infiltrated the Flesh Desert in a hidden grotto-heaven egg and witnessed the All-Beings Dynasty’s logic network destroy a creature contaminated by The Indescribable. He realized the Nine Great Rulers were preparing to suppress a threat they feared, and the chapter ended as Heavenly Dao-level beings across lower-dimensional spacetime began investigating.

• Desolate Age entered the Scorched Earth concealed inside a pale yellow egg and approached a city in the Flesh Desert.
• He shrank and disguised the grotto-heaven egg to evade an immense probing force surveilling the area.

• The lower-dimensional spacetime’s Heavenly Dao-level beings learned of the upheaval, and an undercurrent began to surge.

• The Great Spirit Mountain Buddha Patriarch declared that he would gather three thousand foundational logics in Spirit Mountain and complete his conceptual logic, Eternal Western Heaven.

The Underworld Reincarnation Devil Lord planned to claim the Ninth Immortal title by using logic crystals to decipher and take over Lü Chunqiu’s body. He presented the stones to Lü Chunqiu, who examined the suspicious gift as the chapter ended.

• The Spirit Mountain Buddha Patriarch decided to join the war across low-dimensional spacetimes to gather immortals for his logic-torrent plan.
• The Underworld Reincarnation Devil Lord, reborn as Lü Shangqiu, chose Lü Chunqiu as his target because he seemed the easiest of Xuanyuan Changlong’s six Tribulation Realm cultivators to exploit.
• The Devil Lord split his underlying logic into three logic crystals, which each contained a trace of his conceptual logic and could let him decipher and take over whoever absorbed them.
• Lü Shangqiu entered Lü Chunqiu’s tent and claimed he had found three mysterious stones that might help Lü Chunqiu win the title of Ninth Immortal.
• Lü Chunqiu inspected the opened box, which held three ordinary-looking stones.

• Lü Chunqiu examined the stones Lü Shangqiu had brought and recognized three hidden derivative logics that could strengthen his Dao.
• Lü Chunqiu imprisoned Lü Shangqiu, searched his memories, and killed him, extracting his rudimentary logic and turning his body into an Essence Stone.
• Lü Chunqiu absorbed the three stones into his Dao of the Miscellaneous School, gaining four times his former power and meditating to study the derivative logics.
• The Underworld Devil Lord’s conceptual essence secretly entered Lü Chunqiu’s Dao and began learning its mysteries and searching for flaws.
• Li Qing saw the Jade Tablet’s report that Lü Shangqiu had entered Lü Chunqiu’s tent and not returned, realized the Underworld Devil Lord had reappeared, and wondered whether to expose him.

Li Qing used the Way of Changes to discover that placing his true bodies on the final battlefield would leave him trapped when Heavenly Fate was settled. He changed his strategy to control the armies from behind the scenes, but foresaw that the Five Immortals could still use the Investiture of Gods to corner and kill him.

• Li Qing examined possible outcomes and realized that his three true bodies would be captured and erased if they remained on the final battlefield after the war.
• He recalled the Primordial Spirit cultivators whose causality he had grafted, joined their ranks, and took control of their armies through further Causal Grafting.
• Li Qing considered that the Five Immortals could order the cities to surrender to Li Qinglian and perform the Investiture of Gods on the battlefield.
• He deduced that the Five Immortals could lure him out or wait until the investiture ended before killing those left behind, leaving him with no way to escape.

Li Qing analyzed the enemies waiting to strike during his fate tribulation and discovered that the Supreme Jade Heaven Treasure Radiant Emperor had secretly watched him through the Great Curse. He planned around the coming creation of the Three Realms, but remained unsure how to survive the quarter hour when artifacts would become unusable.

• Li Qing planned to use the Underworld Devil Lord, the Three Great Devil Kings, and Sun Tzu to open escape passages during the final battle.
• Li Qing realized that using the Great Brahma Universal Cosmos Unification Curse had drawn the attention of its master, the Supreme Jade Heaven Treasure Radiant Emperor, who had secretly controlled the Three Great Devil Kings and watched the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• Li Qing used the Jade Tablet to test the possible plans of his enemies, but found that they were all waiting for the final clash before acting.
• Li Qing concluded that he would use Sun Tzu, the Underworld Devil Lord, and the Three Great Devil Kings as a false lead, while keeping the Myriad Treasure Tower as his remaining card.
• Li Qing identified the quarter hour after the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation was established as his greatest danger, when the world's power would make artifacts unusable, and considered whether the Underworld Devil Lord might break the seal by ascending to the Immortal Realm.

Li Qing devised a way to preserve a fragment of his will and spirit inside the Myriad Treasure Tower, then secretly visited Sun Tzu to warn him about rivals for the position of Ninth Immortal. Sun Tzu identified Xuanyuan Changlong as the mysterious imperial preceptor from the Human Dao Dynasty, whose ability to predict the future made him a formidable threat.

• Li Qing placed a wisp of his Primordial Spirit, the seed of the Principle of Civilization, and the Jade Tablet inside the Myriad Treasure Tower, planning to return through True Spirit Nirvana Undying Fate after his three true bodies died.

• Sun Tzu realized their opponent could become the Child of Destiny and that they had to win the coming battle without interfering in destiny’s struggle.
• Li Qing told Sun Tzu that Li Qinglian was the last surviving descendant of the Great Tang Dynasty’s Li Family, whom Li Qing had preserved through a bargain with Emperor Kuntai.
• Sun Tzu recognized that the Great Tang’s inherited Human Dao power could warp logic and serve as a decisive weapon, then vowed to restore humanity and honor its sacrifices.
• Li Qing warned that another higher-dimensional being had arrived: the Radiant Emperor, ruler of the Eternal Heavenly Domain.
• Li Qing explained that the Radiant Emperor and the Underworld Devil Lord likely sought the Seal of Heaven and the two beings of Concept Logic within it.

Li Qing revealed the Three Great Devil Kings’ identities to Sun Tzu and urged him to seize the God-Investing One position with the Myriad Treasure Tower and Sword of Destruction. Sun Tzu then confronted Li Qinglian about his Great Tang bloodline, and Li Qinglian asked him to explain.

• Li Qing told Sun Tzu that two higher-dimensional beings were among the Three Great Devil Kings and advised him to hide his strength until the final battle, then overpower them and claim the God-Investing One position.
• Li Qing gave Sun Tzu the Myriad Treasure Tower, which he combined with the Sword of Destruction as tools for the battle, while secretly planting his imprint in the tower.
• Sun Tzu agreed to work with Li Qing until he became the Ninth Immortal, and Li Qing began calculating the risks of the coming fight.
• Sun Tzu entered Li Qinglian’s command tent, sealed it against outside information, and asked whether Li Qinglian knew who he was.
• Sun Tzu revealed that Li Qinglian was the last descendant of the Great Tang Dynasty; Li Qinglian hid his alarm, then bowed and asked Sun Tzu to enlighten him.

Sun Tzu told Li Qinglian that Xuanyuan Changlong was a hidden Fate-less One and warned of two higher-dimensional enemies in his army, then devised a plan to let Li win through the Great Tang bloodline and the Way of Forbidden Laws. Xuanyuan Changlong sensed the future battle through his mysterious wheels and resolved to turn Li’s plan against him.

• Sun Tzu revealed Xuanyuan Changlong’s origins and the two higher-dimensional beings among his forces, and said Li Qinglian had only one chance to win.
• Sun Tzu instructed Li to restore the Great Tang, ascend the throne in the Capital City during the final battle, and use his bloodline to unleash the Way of Forbidden Laws.
• Li worried that invoking the forbidden power would strip away his cultivation, so Sun Tzu promised him a divine seat after victory and urged him to keep the plan secret.
• Xuanyuan Changlong and his two true bodies experienced a vision of a powerless battle sealed by the Way of Forbidden Laws.
• Xuanyuan Changlong recognized the threat, dismissed Li’s chances of killing him, and decided to turn the plan against its creators.

The Underworld Devil Lord parasitized Lü Chunqiu and prepared to help Xuanyuan Changlong win the coming decisive battle. Meanwhile, Li Qing’s forces captured and absorbed more than a hundred thousand troops as the armies converged on West Province.

• The Underworld Devil Lord used the three derivative logic stones to trap Lü Chunqiu’s consciousness, replace it, and take control of the Miscellaneous School’s treasure of attaining the Dao.
• The Underworld Devil Lord resolved to ensure Xuanyuan Changlong won the final battle and gained entry to the decisive contest without revealing too much strength.

Li Qing’s agents weakened the armies of Wang Qianqiu and Meng Tianji, while the Children of Destiny gathered at Dragon-Locking Pass to discuss the unexplained surrenders. Li Qing decided to use feng shui arts to destroy the pass’s terrain before the opposing armies arrived, and began preparing the Earth Dragon Baleful Surge Formation.

• Li Qing’s undercover agents guided soldiers under Wang Qianqiu and Meng Tianji to surrender, earning promotions and gaining control of roughly five hundred thousand troops within Li Qinglian and Xuanyuan Changlong’s forces.
• Meng Tianji and Wang Qianqiu told the other Children of Destiny that many of their soldiers had surrendered unexpectedly, and Ashoka King urged them to investigate their armies for infiltrators.
• Wang Qianqiu proposed replacing suspicious personnel and relying on Dragon-Locking Pass to wear down the enemy, and the five Children of Destiny agreed.
• Li Qing judged that a battle at Dragon-Locking Pass could let the Five Immortals control the final battlefield, so he resolved to shift the fighting across West Province by changing the terrain.
• Li Qing’s Divine Body found thirteen geomantic veins beneath the Dragon-Locking Mountains and began planning an Earth Dragon Baleful Surge Formation to collapse the peaks.

Li Qing completed the Earth Dragon Baleful Surge Formation beneath the Dragon-Locking Mountains and outlined a plan to Sun Tzu for dividing the enemy armies and capturing the Capital City. As Li Qinglian’s forces engaged the investigators sent from Dragon-Locking Pass, Li Qing activated the formation, shattering the rock beneath the pass and triggering a catastrophic upheaval.

• Li Qing placed feng shui nails across the earth veins and completed a formation designed to unleash its force underground.
• Li Qing told Sun Tzu to redirect Li Qinglian’s army west, then capture the Capital City while Xuanyuan Changlong was drawn back east.
• Li Qinglian split his million-strong army into three forces and halted near the Dragon-Locking Mountains, prompting the five Children of Destiny to send Longevity Realm cultivators to investigate.
• Li Qinglian’s cultivators clashed with the investigators in the sky as Li Qing activated the formation beneath the mountains.
• The formation sent the earth veins into chaos and shattered much of the granite above a vast underground water layer, shaking Dragon-Locking Pass and forcing its flying cultivators into the air.

The collapse of the Dragon-Locking Mountains devastated the Dao army at Dragon-Locking Pass, allowing Li Qinglian and Xuanyuan Changlong to invade West Province. Li Qinglian cornered Meng Tianji’s smaller force, and the chapter ended as the two commanders clashed in a battle of destiny.

• The Dragon-Locking Mountains collapsed, killing many Dao soldiers and scattering the survivors as cultivators tried to rescue them.

• Li Qinglian killed Meng Tianji, and Xuanyuan Changlong and Li Qinglian’s armies defeated the remaining forces across West Province.
• Xuanyuan Changlong killed Wang Qianqiu and Zhu Yiba, while Li Qinglian’s army killed Ximen Yongsheng.
• Li Qinglian turned his army back from the West Province border and returned to his territory with captives, while Xuanyuan Changlong took control of the western lands.
• Sun Qiankun reported that ceremonies across the land were ready, and Li Qinglian said establishing the imperial order and proclaiming himself emperor was Sun Tzu’s command.
• Li Qinglian ordered the three armies to set out for Capital City and announced he would enter before noon the next day to hold the founding ceremony.

Li Qinglian’s forces captured the Capital City and prepared to proclaim him ruler while Xuanyuan Changlong ordered his army to converge for a decisive battle. At Li Qinglian’s coronation, Emperor Kuntai’s decree named him heir to the Great Tang Dynasty, awakening the people’s recognition and drawing the dynasty’s remaining fortune into him.

• The people recognized the dynasty’s return, and its remaining fortune and the Law Net converged upon Li Qinglian, transforming his bloodline.

Li Qinglian awakened the Way of Forbidden Laws, declared himself the eleventh emperor of Great Tang under the reign name New Tang, and prepared to confront Xuanyuan Changlong’s advancing army. While the great powers focused on the coming battle, Li Qing’s Divine Body began raiding Dao Lineages across the Nine Provinces to gather resources for the final trial.

• Li Qinglian’s cultivation fell to Essence Refining as the Way of Forbidden Laws awakened in his bloodline and connected him to the dynasty’s Network.
• Li Qinglian declared himself the eleventh emperor of Great Tang and named his reign New Tang, while Xuanyuan Changlong ordered his armies to reach the Capital City by noon.
• Li Qinglian ordered Great Tang’s troops to assemble outside the Capital City and prepare to fight Xuanyuan Changlong’s forces.

• Li Qing’s original Divine Body infiltrated the Buddhist Sect’s foreign-region headquarters and located its hidden realm, scriptures, and resources.

Li Qing prepared to exploit his copies’ theft of Essence Stones while the armies of Li Qinglian and Xuanyuan Changlong gathered for the final Battle of Heavenly Fate. The Five Immortals sealed the battlefield with a formation to trap Li Qing’s true body, but Li Qing had anticipated their move.

• Li Qing connected his copies and avatars, monitored events through the Jade Tablet, and prepared to transfer stolen Essence Stone essence into the Myriad Treasure Tower.
• Li Qinglian and Xuanyuan Changlong faced each other with their armies outside the Capital City and exchanged threats before returning to their forces.
• The Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord ordered the Five Immortals’ projections to establish the Spirit-Severing, Dao-Extinguishing, Heaven-Sealing, Earth-Locking Formation around the battlefield.
• Yuan Zhihui ordered Tribulation Realm cultivators to guard the formation’s thirty-six banners, and the cultivators took their positions.
• Li Qing recognized that the formation was meant to trap his true body and resolved to rely less on the Jade Tablet and more on the Way of Changes.

Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord explained how the Five Immortals would exploit Li Qing’s need to overcome his fated tribulation and gain Qi Fate during the Battle of Heavenly Fate. He proposed letting Li Qing help build Heavenly Dao Reincarnation before cleansing the treasures and gradually taking control of it.

• Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord sealed spacetime around the battlefield, reasoning that Li Qing had to enter the Battle of Heavenly Fate to overcome his tribulation and gain enough Qi Fate to attain the Dao.
• Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord told Haoran Sage and the other immortals that Li Qing’s ally likely held the treasures needed to build Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, and that killing Li Qing too soon could leave them bound to the world’s reincarnation system.
• Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord proposed waiting for the Battle of Heavenly Fate to choose a victor, then letting the Ninth Immortal bring out the three treasures and build Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord urged the Five Immortals to remain inactive so Li Qing would not detect their plan, then cleanse his marks from the treasures with the world’s origin and gradually gain influence over reincarnation.
• Namo Nirvana Light-Dark Buddha’s eyes flickered as he listened to Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord’s plan.

The Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord devised a plan to exploit Li Qing’s fated calamity and capture him, while the Haoran Sage secretly chose to warn Li Qing and offer him a way to escape. Li Qing remained suspicious of the Sage and recorded his doubts about the man’s motives.

• The Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord proposed using the Investiture of Gods and constant surveillance of Primordial Spirit cultivators to expose and trap Li Qing.
• The Haoran Sage decided he needed Li Qing alive as an ally and secretly went to their meeting place to leak the plan.
• Li Qing recognized the Sage was testing his treasures, but the Haoran Sage told him the full scheme and offered to open a gap in the formation.
• Li Qing confirmed he could escape if given an opening, thanked the Haoran Sage, and disappeared.
• Hidden inside the Myriad Treasure Tower, Li Qing recorded the information and noted that the Haoran Sage might still intend to kill him and take his treasures.

Li Qing analyzed the Immortal Realm’s plan to trap and erase him, identifying several possible escape windows and estimating his chances of survival. He sent Divine Body replicas to the Seal of Heaven’s nodes with a plan to destroy them, but the chapter ended before he acted.

• Li Qing learned that Haoran Sage might either help him escape or capture him, depending on circumstances.
• Li Qing mapped out the Immortal Realm’s plan and identified openings during the battle between the Underworld Devil Lord and the Radiant Emperor, the Myriad Treasure Tower’s release, and the formation of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing used the Jade Tablet to compare the world’s origin with the Logic Artifacts and the Myriad Treasure Tower, estimating that his final escape plan had a fifty-percent chance of success.
• Li Qing sent Divine Body replicas to the nine Seal of Heaven nodes and prepared nine black thunder beads to destroy them simultaneously.
• Li Qing’s replica reached a fist-sized Stone Stele in Capital City, where the Seal of Heaven’s hidden nodes could be seen but not detected by other means.

Li Qing prepared five possible disruptions to escape the Five Immortals’ plan to trap him during the Battle of Heavenly Fate. As the final battle approached, the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord anticipated Li Qing’s moves and secretly prepared a way to escape the seal if his own scheme failed.

• Li Qing arranged duplicates and lightning pearls at the Seals of Heaven, ready to detonate their nodes, and planned raids on the Dao Lineages to create five chances to survive.
• The armies outside Capital City prepared for the Battle of Heavenly Fate as the Five Immortals and Haoran Sage watched, while Cavern Yin Yin-Yang Dao Lord vowed to kill Li Qing.

• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord, inhabiting Lü Chunqiu, predicted Li Qing might use an Immortal-level ally to break the seal and planned to become the Ninth Immortal through Heavenly Fate.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord created a hidden passage in the Formation Banner so his power could escape the seal if he had to feign death.
