An enormous egg in the Blackwater Ocean gave rise to an army of anomalies, which Six Wings led in an invasion of the Dark Imperishable Continent. Li Qing’s Past Body and Future Body learned of the attack as the Human Dao Great World and Hundred Great Worlds descended above the ocean.

• The three anomaly leaders Eight Claws, Fish King, and Six Wings divided their forces to patrol the ocean, guard the egg, and attack the Dark Imperishable Continent.
• Six Wings led an organized army ashore, killing the continent’s anomalies and collecting their Essence Stones for the King.
• A gigantic spacetime vortex appeared above the Dark Imperishable Continent, and the Human Dao Great World and Hundred Great Worlds descended toward the Blackwater Ocean.
• Li Qing’s Past Body and Future Body used the world array to observe the invasion, and the Jade Tablet identified Six Wings as an indescribable anomaly with power comparable to the strongest spacetime Heavenly Dao experts.

Li Qing’s Future Body and Past Body landed their world clusters on the Dark Imperishable Continent and used Civilization Logic to draw the dead into reincarnation while expanding into the Blackwater Ocean. As Six Wings, Eight Claws, and the Fish King considered how to stop them, the Indescribable Deity Egg stirred the ocean and formed a mysterious black banner.

• Li Qing’s Future Body and Past Body sent armies to search the area and landed their world clusters along the eastern edge of the Dark Imperishable Continent.
• Li Qing spread Civilization Logic, drawing the dead’s vengeful obsessions into reincarnation and absorbing their dark essence to grow the worlds.

Li Qing established a Lesser Reincarnation in the Blackwater Ocean, but learned that forming a complete universal reincarnation would take at least one billion years. The Indescribable Deity Egg ordered an assault on the Dark Imperishable Continent, where Li Qing’s defenses overwhelmed the attackers and scattered them through the world formation.

• Li Qing placed the Reincarnation Vortex in the Blackwater Ocean, where it absorbed black water and sent lingering spiritual imprints into rebirth.
• The Jade Tablet revealed that the Lesser Reincarnation was connecting to the universe’s incomplete reincarnation system, but would need at least one billion years to become complete.
• The Indescribable Deity Egg sensed the new reincarnation power and ordered the Fish King to attack the continent and destroy it.
• The Fish King alerted Six Wings and Eight Claws; Eight Claws led Anomalies toward the Dark Imperishable Continent while Six Wings went to gather more Anomalies.
• Li Qing’s Past Body unleashed a massive strike that cleared a million-li region, forcing Eight Claws to abandon a direct assault and send logic Anomalies toward the world cluster from all directions.
• Li Qing’s Past Body activated the world formation, which inverted space and time and scattered the Anomalies entering its range across the formation.

Li Qing's Past Body used the world formation to destroy Eight Claws's invasion, but the Indescribable Deity Egg responded by ordering its forces to seize the Blackwater Sea and spread its Concept Logic. Li Qing discovered that the Egg's network was competing with his own effort to sway the dead and claim the universe's Fate of the Dead's Chosen One status.

• Li Qing's Past Body's world formation countered and exterminated the anomalies Eight Claws sent, forcing Eight Claws to retreat after losing more than one percent of his forces.
• The Fish King and Eight Claws reported their defeat to the Indescribable Deity Egg, which ordered them to conquer the Blackwater Sea and establish a distributed network for its Conceptual Logic.
• The Indescribable Deity Egg gave banners to the Fish King and Eight Claws, who joined Six Wings in expanding their control across the Dark Ocean.
• The Egg spread its incomplete Concept Logic through controlled anomalies, forming a vast network throughout the Blackwater Ocean.
• Li Qing's Past Body and Future Body noticed the network competing with Civilization Logic to influence Blackwater's undying obsessions.

The Indescribable Deity Egg and Li Qing’s Civilization Logic fought for control of the Blackwater Ocean, with the Egg gaining the larger share. Li Qing learned the Egg’s hatching plan and expanded his defenses as the two sides’ armies began battling over the Dark Continent.

• The Indescribable Deity Egg rallied the dead’s undying obsessions with promises of revenge, while Civilization Logic offered them new lives and hope.
• The Blackwater Ocean split into eastern and western territories, with Civilization Logic controlling forty percent and the Egg controlling sixty percent.
• Li Qing’s Past Body and Future Body used the Jade Tablet’s restored information to learn that the Egg was spreading distorted conceptual logic to buy time to hatch and hunt Li Qing.
• Li Qing’s Past Body expanded the Divine Dao Soldier System and Civilization Logic across the Dark Continent to secure his territory.
• Anomalies under the Egg’s control attacked the border, and the Divine Dao Soldier System’s armies fought them for every stretch of land.

Ashes secretly expanded his indescribable forces while plotting to betray the Root of the Indescribable’s envoy and seize Li Qing’s treasure. Meanwhile, the Nine Great Rulers agreed to build supercivilizations and draw them into attacking high-dimensional spacetime, beginning with a plan to make the Central World Cluster appear weak.

• Ashes learned that Li Qing had reached the Conceptual Logic Prototype level and that he was ordered to cooperate with an envoy, but he resolved to wait for a chance to take Li Qing’s treasure for himself.
• Ashes spread his indescribable power through sewers, abandoned buildings, and statues while hiding his connection to the outbreaks from Li Qing.
• The Nine Great Rulers discussed sending avatars to seize worlds, build supercivilizations, and push them into attacking high-dimensional spacetime; the Thorn Sect Leader supported the proposal.
• The Nine Great Rulers agreed to send nine avatars across the universe to build supercivilizations.
• The Radiant Emperor proposed withdrawing the Central World Cluster’s forces to make its massive world appear vulnerable, so supercivilizations could later be encouraged to divide it up.

The rulers began infiltrating worlds to build Heavenly Dao Reincarnation systems for a future assault on High-Dimensional Spacetime. Li Qing extracted the Human Path Forbidden Law from Li Yuanyi and used it to create a mortal world whose influence suppressed extraordinary powers.

• The Radiant Emperor and the other rulers began secretly entering worlds to establish Heavenly Dao Reincarnation systems, planning to prepare for their assault over tens of thousands of years.
• Li Qing reflected on how the Human Path Forbidden Law had formed as a Civilization Order Logic that suppressed extraordinary power, and decided to incorporate it into Civilization Logic.
• Li Qing offered Li Yuanyi a divine position and a path to becoming a ghost immortal in exchange for taking the Human Path Forbidden Law from him, and Li Yuanyi agreed.
• Li Qing used Civilization Logic to merge with the Forbidden Law's seed and create an ordinary mortal world within an illusory universe.
• A ripple from the mortal world spread through the logics of civilizations and Heavenly Daos, suppressing their extraordinary abilities and leaving only their basic operation.

Li Qing saw Civilization Order Logic beginning to perfect itself and planned how to unite super civilizations for an assault on high-dimensional spacetime. He then used the Basin of Reflection to seek the future outcome of eight forces that could build super civilizations.

• Li Qing discovered that his Civilization Order Logic was evolving on its own, and he resolved to wait until the illusory universe’s logics were complete.
• Li Qing planned to purge powerful figures in the Nine Provinces Four Regions and outlined four steps for a united assault on high-dimensional spacetime.
• Li Qing considered using the Blackwater Ocean and the reincarnation powers of super civilizations to strengthen their defenses during the coming battle.
• Li Qing identified eight forces as likely builders of super civilizations and planned for the Bright Heavenly Emperor and others to contact them.
• Li Qing poured power into the Basin of Reflection to view the future outcome of the eight forces.

Li Qing saw Dead Silence annihilate the Nine Great Rulers and the forces assaulting the high-dimensional spacetime, then deduced that it was dormant and building power to establish a coordinate in the Infinite Universe Fragments. He suspected Dead Silence was hidden in the Radiant Emperor's Eternal Heavenly Domain and brought the Bright Heavenly Emperor information about it, which began disappearing from the Emperor's mind.

• Li Qing observed a vision in the Basin of Reflection in which more than a hundred super civilizations attacked the high-dimensional spacetime, the Nine Great Rulers gathered the universe's Conceptual Logic to intercept them, and Dead Silence erupted and engulfed everything.
• Li Qing used the Jade Tablet to deduce that Dead Silence had devoured the Rulers, Spacetime Heavenly Dao powerhouses, super civilizations, and their worlds to gather power and establish a coordinate.
• Li Qing concluded that Dead Silence was dormant while its main body transmitted power over a long period, and that it would eventually awaken and release that power all at once.
• Li Qing suspected Dead Silence existed in the Radiant Emperor's Eternal Heavenly Domain and decided to ask the Bright Heavenly Emperor for help investigating it.
• Li Qing's flesh-and-blood avatar sent a projection to meet the Bright Heavenly Emperor and share information about Dead Silence, which began vanishing from the Emperor's mind.

Li Qing enlisted Bright Heavenly Emperor to search the Eternal Heavenly Domain for Dead Silence, a power that erased awareness of itself. Bright Heavenly Emperor found a sealed spacetime beneath Radiant Emperor’s throne, and Li Qing confirmed that Dead Silence slept there under Radiant Emperor’s protection.

• Li Qing told Bright Heavenly Emperor that Dead Silence could erase all awareness of itself and asked him to investigate the Eternal Heavenly Domain, especially Radiant Emperor.
• Bright Heavenly Emperor used an ancient stone stele containing a trace of Final Logic to preserve information about Dead Silence against its erasing power.
• Bright Heavenly Emperor searched the Eternal Heavenly Domain and found that his will could not enter a sealed spacetime beneath Radiant Emperor’s throne.
• Bright Heavenly Emperor shared his map and findings with Li Qing, who used the Way of Changes and the Jade Tablet to locate Dead Silence inside the hidden realm.
• Li Qing concluded that Radiant Emperor was protecting Dead Silence and might already be under its control.

Li Qing and the Bright Heavenly Emperor discovered that Dead Silence had not detected the Bright Heavenly Emperor’s hidden contingencies, and planned to use the Radiant Emperor as a distraction while they prepared to ascend. Meanwhile, the Seal of Heaven began to change, and a black-robed figure emerged to address Mosaic.

• Li Qing used the Way of Changes and the Jade Tablet to learn that the Radiant Emperor had evolved from a fragment of the Bright Heavenly Emperor, while Dead Silence had not found the Bright Heavenly Emperor’s hidden contingencies.
• Li Qing told the Bright Heavenly Emperor to watch the Radiant Emperor and his grotto-heaven, then proposed exploiting the danger of Dead Silence to draw the other Sovereigns’ attention away from their ascent.
• The Bright Heavenly Emperor and Li Qing agreed to keep their plan secret, prepare defenses against the Sovereigns, and warn their allies not to ascend prematurely.
• The Seal of Heaven changed at an altar in the Nine Provinces Four Regions, where a black-robed figure appeared alongside Mosaic and said he had not expected Mosaic to release him.

Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven secretly left the Seal of Heaven to rebuild their strength, while Li Qing began preparing the Nine Provinces Four Regions to grow into a super civilization. The chapter ended with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation spreading outward to search for potential worlds to invade.

• The Enemy of Heaven proposed that he and Heaven leave the seal separately, gather strength, and return to settle their conflict after reaching their former peaks.
• Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven slipped out of the Seal of Heaven unnoticed and departed in different directions to replenish their power.
• Li Qing told Haoran Sage, Namo Nirvana Light-Dark Buddha, Myriad Kalpas Undying True Dragon Ancestor, Myriad Spirits Divine Emperor, and the others that the Nine Provinces Four Regions needed to expand through another invasion.
• Li Qing explained that the alliance would need to grow to hundreds of millions of li and gather super-civilization allies to have a chance against the Nine Great Rulers.
• The group agreed to let Li Qing use Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to locate suitable targets, and he sent a covert resonance across roughly one hundred billion li to record vital essence and deduce distant worlds.

Li Qing used the Jade Tablet and Way of Changes to calculate the Nine Great Rulers’ true power, learning that their conceptual logic could mobilize a vast share of the universe’s power. He uncovered how the Radiant Emperor had concealed that strength during the Basin of Reflection incident and concluded that he needed Ashes to divide the rulers’ forces before challenging them.

• Li Qing mapped the Nine Great Rulers’ conceptual logic across half the known void and realized their full power could overwhelm more than a hundred super civilizations.
• The Jade Tablet calculated that the rulers could mobilize roughly one-twentieth of the universe’s mass, far beyond Li Qing’s earlier estimates.
• Li Qing questioned why the rulers had not used that power in the Basin of Reflection and used Way of Changes to investigate.
• The Jade Tablet revealed that the rulers had mobilized less than one percent of the universe’s power on the Radiant Emperor’s advice, while Dead Silence later unleashed power it had stored for a hundred million years.
• Li Qing realized the rulers beyond the Infinite Universe Fragments might not have fought at full strength and judged breaking into high-dimensional spacetime much harder than expected.
• Li Qing decided Ashes and The Indescribable Deity had to draw away the rulers’ power so the remaining civilizations could face a weakened enemy.
