Chapters 1651–1675 Vol. 17 Read

Ch. 1651The Indescribable Outbreak

The Nine Great Rulers sealed a sudden, widespread outbreak of The Indescribable Mist across the wilderness, while making it appear that their power was tied down. Observers in the cosmic void debated whether the outbreak created an opportunity to attack High-Dimensional Spacetime or was another trap, and Haoran Sage asked Li Qing to assess the situation.

  • The Indescribable Mist erupted across more than a tenth of the planes in the high-dimensional wilderness, and countless creatures of The Indescribable were born.
  • The Nine Great Rulers unleashed their power, shattered the Mist, and sealed its remaining essence deep in spacetime to be eroded by the universe's origin.
  • The Nine Great Rulers left their wilderness seals in place to make it seem that suppressing The Indescribable had occupied most of their power.
  • Pawns and avatars from the cosmic void observed the seals, and Starry Sky Divine Venerable concluded that the outbreak had weakened the Nine Great Rulers enough to make an attack seem possible.
  • Hell Death Heavenly Venerable warned that the apparent opportunity could be a conspiracy, so the other Heavenly Dao powerhouses chose to observe further.
  • At a meeting in the Nine Provinces Four Regions, Haoran Sage asked Li Qing what he thought of the situation in High-Dimensional Spacetime.

Ch. 1654Nine Transformations, Yet No Escape from the Trap

Li Qing's Present Body used the world formation to break through two transformations of the Myriad Kalpas Undying True Dragon Ancestor's bloodline formation, baiting him into suspecting Li Qing had a mysterious treasure or calculation technique. The enemy escaped by moving his world cluster, while Li Qing set his sights on a new target and his other bodies began forging alliances across the Northern World Cluster.

  • Li Qing's Present Body analyzed the golden flames and gradually reconstructed the Divine Bird Transformation, while Haoran Sage and the others watched and discussed his plan to lure the enemy in.

The Lord of Human Dao used the power of his World Cluster to counter the Thorn Sect Leader’s black mist, exposing the limits of Civilization Logic and the need to strengthen it. The Thorn Sect Leader withdrew but planned to infiltrate the Human Dao Great World Cluster during the coming war in the Northern World Cluster.

  • The Thorn Sect Leader changed his logic to release black mist that dissolved most lower-level logic, forcing the Lord of Human Dao to find three types of logic that could restrain it.
  • The Lord of Human Dao combined those three logics and poured the World Cluster’s power into them, driving the black mist out of the world formation at great cost.
  • Li Qing recognized that Civilization Logic’s limited capacity to carry other logics was its greatest flaw and that breaking through underlying logic would let it grow stronger.

Ch. 1660Huge Consumption, Scheme Within a Scheme

Li Qing calculated how he could use the Heart-Destroying Sword and the worlds within the Ten Thousand Buddhas Glazed World and the Ghost God Great World to defeat the forces opposing him. He proposed a plan to the assembled powers: lure the enemy into greed, break through their encirclement, and devour worlds until his strength could overcome them.

  • Li Qing sent fleets toward twenty exposed worlds and used the Way of Changes to direct their attacks at the invading fleets.
  • The opening volley destroyed more than a tenth of the void fleet and caused heavy casualties across the four armies.

Ch. 1662Fleet Formation, Broken Again

Ch. 1663Divine Curse Probes, Sovereign's Predicament

The Glazed Buddha Lord launched the Myriad Buddha Glaze Divine Curse against Li Qing’s twenty worlds, while Li Qing’s Present Body used a fleet formation to resist it and had the Jade Tablet analyze its logic. Meanwhile, the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Flesh Ancestor remained trapped in a tightly controlled border world, unaware of the conflict’s details.

  • The Glazed Buddha Lord proposed borrowing the allied rulers’ power to cast the Myriad Buddha Glaze Divine Curse and convert the beings in Li Qing’s worlds.
