The Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God and the Earth Spirit Divine Lord discovered Indescribable Mist and became tempted to investigate, while Li Qing used the battlefield to keep them from reaching their traps. Li Qing planned to heighten their urgency and create a brief lull for the three targets to move, as the Death God Lord spotted an apparent opportunity near the first trap.

• The Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God found dense Indescribable Mist in a lake cave and decided his true body would need to descend to explore it.
• Dark Nether Demon Venerable flooded the area on Li Qing's orders, preventing the Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God from reaching the cave; the Mountain River Earth Emperor helped defend the city.
• The Earth Spirit Divine Lord detected Indescribable Mist at Trap No. 3, but Xuan Ling sealed the area and blocked his access.
• Li Qing's Present Body concluded that all three baits had taken the hook and planned to use escalating leaks and a brief pause in battle to pressure them into entering the traps.
• After Li Qing's Divine Body and army temporarily eased their assault, the Death God Lord saw a chance to act and suspected Li Qing was protecting the Child of Destiny.

Li Qing prepared three traps with God Emperor of Fate and the Celestial God Sequence, using the Child of Destiny and the Indescribable Mist to lure his targets. After three days of repeated assaults, the entrances to the traps were exposed, and Earth Spirit Divine Lord and Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God sent their second true bodies toward them.

• Death God Lord noticed the Heretic Sequence was redeploying its troops and resolved to strike if it began to leave.
• Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God discovered that the Indescribable Mist had reached his city through the deaths caused by the siege and destroyed an infected soldier.
• Li Qing arranged for Lord of Stars, Sun God Lord, and Lunar Divine Lord to enter the three spacetime traps and gain partial control of their Extinction formations.
• Causal Buddha, Fighting Dragon Lord, and Western Extremity Sacred One gathered at the first trap as bait, while the other Celestial God Sequence second true bodies assembled at the remaining traps.
• For three days, Li Qing's forces launched repeated attacks, then withdrew their logic from the entrances to the three traps after the final raid.
• Earth Spirit Divine Lord and Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God sent their second true bodies toward the exposed trap entrances as the contamination became harder to conceal.

Li Qing’s forces lured the Death God Lord, Earth Spirit Divine Lord, and Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God into three prepared traps and sealed off their connections to the Blue Light Demon Domain. Surrounded by nine second-rank powerhouses, the three were left facing a fierce attack in Extinction Mode.

• Li Qing ordered his allies to ease their assaults while keeping up the appearance of an imminent attack, encouraging the three Celestial God Sequence lords to enter the traps.
• The Death God Lord transferred his status into his second true body and approached Trap Number One, while the Earth Spirit Divine Lord and Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God discovered mist erupting across their cities.
• The Earth Spirit Divine Lord and Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God transferred their second-rank status into their second true bodies and charged into Traps Number Two and Three.
• The Death God Lord followed Causal Buddha, Fighting Dragon Lord, and Huang Yuhun into Trap Number One, where Li Qing’s forces sealed the spacetime node.
• Nine second-rank powerhouses surrounded the three lords across the traps and attacked in Extinction Mode, leaving them stunned that they had fallen for a trap.

The three trapped Second True Bodies faced destruction, while their First True Bodies fled after creating Third True Bodies. Li Qing’s forces teleported the trapped enemies to new spacetime nodes before the Sequence Lords could rescue them, and the Lord of Stars secured partial control of the Annihilation Grand Formation.

• The Death God Lord used Concept Logic Crystallization to withstand the Western Extremity Sacred One, Li Qing's Divine Body, and the Lord of Stars, but their combined Concept Logic began breaking his barrier.
• The First True Bodies of the three trapped powerhouses created Third True Bodies using stored Sequence power and fourth-grade ranks, then vanished to hide.
• The Death God Lord told the Abyssal Demon King he had fallen into a trap, and the Abyssal Demon King searched for Trap Number One with the prototype of Final Logic.
• Li Qing's forces teleported the Death God Lord and the other trapped Second True Bodies to different spacetime nodes before the Abyssal Demon King and Mountain River Earth Emperor could reach them.
• The God Emperor of Fate interfered with the Sequence Lords as they searched the emptied traps and blocked their chance to repair the teleportation formations.
• The Lord of Stars demanded control of the Annihilation Grand Formation at the new battlefield, and the Western Extremity Sacred One and Li Qing's Divine Body granted him one-third access.

Li Qing’s plan succeeded when Death God Lord, Earth Spirit Divine Lord, and Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God were killed, shifting the balance of power toward the Heretic and Celestial God Sequences. Li Qing then launched an all-out offensive and assembled his forces at an independent spacetime node to prepare to challenge the Sequence Lords.

• Death God Lord shattered his rank and logic to unleash a torrent of power, but the Annihilation Formation stopped it and his Concept Logic essence was destroyed.
• Earth Spirit Divine Lord and Ten Thousand Longevity Mountain God also died, and the Blue Light Demon Domain absorbed the logic of all three second-rank experts.
• God Emperor of Fate recognized that the Heretic and Celestial God Sequences now held the advantage, while the surviving second-rank experts withdrew from the spacetime nodes.
• Li Qing told the Heretic Sequence Lords to begin an all-out offensive, targeting the lower ranks of the Dark Demons and Earth Deity Sequence while preserving their Children of Destiny and setting a trap for a Sequence Lord.
• The Heretic Sequence’s five second-rank powerhouses and Li Qing’s nine incarnations gathered at an independent spacetime node, where they took positions around an altar inside an Annihilation Grand Formation.

Li Qing prepared an alliance assault and lured Mountain River Earth Emperor into a direct clash to draw him toward a prepared spacetime-node trap. Their powers proved evenly matched, so Li Qing knew he had to sever Mountain River Earth Emperor's connection to outside logic to defeat him.

• Li Qing told the five experts he would borrow three second-rank experts' power, bait the Sequence masters into battle, and use the opportunity to help more allies break through.
• Li Qing arranged with the God Emperor of Fate to borrow three subordinates and launch attacks against the Earth Deity and Dark Demon Sequences, while each planned to engage one Sequence master.
• Li Qing summoned the three Celestial God Sequence experts' projected power and unleashed a Heavenly Dao Reincarnation strike on the Earth Emperor Mountain Range.
• Mountain River Earth Emperor countered Li Qing's attack with a world-shaping fist, and their forces clashed without either gaining the advantage.
• Li Qing realized he could not defeat Mountain River Earth Emperor directly and needed to lure him into the prepared spacetime node and cut off his connection to outside logic.

Li Qing’s forces conquered much of Earth Abyss while he and the Abyssal Demon King remained locked in battle with Mountain River Earth Emperor and the God Emperor of Fate. With defeat looming, the Abyssal Demon King proposed negotiating with Li Qing to rebalance the war against the Celestial God Sequence.

• The Abyssal Demon King’s logic attacked Li Qing’s Divine Body, but the God Emperor of Fate’s River of Fate intercepted it as their powers clashed.
• Li Qing’s nine incarnations led armies that captured Earth Abyss cities and recruited locals who embraced civilization, while the Divine Body sent its gathered sequence power to the incarnations.
• After decades of war, the Earth Deity Sequence and Dark Demon Sequence had been driven back to a fortified region around the Earth Emperor Mountain Range, while Li Qing’s incarnations occupied one-fifth of the regions beneath Earth Abyss.
• Mountain River Earth Emperor and the Abyssal Demon King discussed their worsening position and the Celestial God Sequence’s numerical advantage in third-rank powerhouses.
• The Abyssal Demon King proposed bargaining with Li Qing to advance three Heretic Sequence powerhouses to the second rank and kill twelve Celestial God Sequence third-rank powerhouses, followed by further cooperation to eliminate its second-rank powerhouses.

The Abyssal Demon King sought an alliance with Li Qing's Divine Body to weaken the Celestial God Sequence, offering the Heretic Sequence three new second-rank fighters. Li Qing agreed to a staged plan beginning in three days, while secretly intending to exploit the deal against the Celestial God Sequence.

• The Abyssal Demon King and Mountain River Earth Emperor decided to use Li Qing's Divine Body to weaken the Celestial God Sequence, and the Abyssal Demon King sent an incarnation to negotiate.
• Li Qing's Divine Body explained the Heretic Sequence's worsening position and correctly deduced why the Abyssal Demon King wanted his help.
• The Abyssal Demon King offered to help the Heretic Sequence advance three experts to the second rank in exchange for Li Qing's help killing twelve Celestial God Sequence third-rank experts.
• Li Qing proposed three waves of breakthroughs, using the battles to make the God Emperor of Fate and the Abyssal Demon King divide their forces and allow one Heretic Sequence fighter to advance in each wave.
• The Abyssal Demon King accepted the plan, and he and Li Qing set the first wave for three days later.
• After the Abyssal Demon King's incarnation left, Li Qing resolved to use the alliance to pursue his own plan against the Celestial God Sequence.

Li Qing and the God Emperor of Fate agreed to turn the Abyssal Demon King's plan against him by luring him into a sealing trap during the third wave of attacks. The God Emperor of Fate began preparing the formations, while the Abyssal Demon King told the Mountain River Earth Emperor that their plan had succeeded.

• Li Qing told the God Emperor of Fate about his deal with the Abyssal Demon King and proposed killing the Abyssal Demon King first.
• Li Qing laid out a plan to bait the Abyssal Demon King into descending with his true body, briefly seal him, and teleport him into a battle against the gathered Heretic Sequence forces.
• The God Emperor of Fate calculated the costs, agreed to the plan, and began crafting sealing and teleportation formations.
• The Abyssal Demon King told the Mountain River Earth Emperor that Li Qing had agreed to help eliminate the twelve third-rank powerhouses of the Celestial God Sequence.
• The Mountain River Earth Emperor praised the plan as nearly flawless.

Li Qing and his allies prepared a coordinated trap against the remaining third-rank powerhouses, while the Celestial God and Heretic Sequences began their invasion of the Blue Light Demon Domain. The chapter ended with the war underway and the Abyssal Demon King poised to enter the plan.

• Li Qing told the Heretic Sequence Lords about the alliance with the Abyssal Demon King and the God Emperor of Fate, then organized them to prepare second true bodies.
• The Fighting Dragon Lord volunteered to condense two second true bodies, while the other third-rank powerhouses yielded the extra opportunity to him.
• The Heretic Sequence prepared fifteen second true bodies and teleportation formations, and the God Emperor of Fate readied avatars and sealing formations for the planned ambush.
• Li Qing accepted the God Emperor of Fate's formations but secretly arranged to destroy them if the other Sequences turned against him.
• Li Qing established separate spiritual spacetime channels to coordinate with the Abyssal Demon King and the God Emperor of Fate as the three-day preparation period ended.
• The Celestial God and Heretic Sequences launched attacks across the Blue Light Demon Domain, striving to capture cities and establish their own formations.

As five Heretic Sequence powerhouses began transforming toward the Second Rank, the God Emperor of Fate and the Abyssal Demon King maneuvered around their breakthrough, each trying to protect their own interests. Li Qing gave the Abyssal Demon King coordinates for four hidden Celestial God Sequence powerhouses, preserving their deal for further attacks.

• The Fighting Dragon Lord, Causal Buddha, Lord of War, Lord of Despair, and Lord of Balance began receiving the Blue Light Demon Domain's origin baptism to transform their Conceptual Logic Prototypes.
• The Abyssal Demon King attacked a Celestial God Sequence powerhouse while the God Emperor of Fate split his power to defend that target and intercept the Abyssal Demon King's strike against the Fighting Dragon Lord.
• The Abyssal Demon King argued that the God Emperor of Fate should let the five Heretic Sequence members break through, then goaded him into protecting his own forces instead.
• The God Emperor of Fate ordered his third-grade Celestial God Sequence powerhouses to withdraw and hide, but Li Qing's spies tracked their movements.
• Li Qing gave the Abyssal Demon King precise coordinates for four third-grade powerhouses, explaining that he would not let the Abyssal Demon King eliminate all twelve targets in one sweep.

The Abyssal Demon King and Li Qing carried out their plan, sacrificing powerhouses while steering the Heretic Sequence toward independence from the God Emperor of Fate. By the twentieth breath, a surge of second-rank Concept Logic began redistributing power across the Blue Light Demon Domain.

• God Emperor of Fate killed the Lord of War’s second true body, while the Abyssal Demon King killed Heavenly Thunder True God and then Storm True God after Li Qing revealed their locations.
• God Emperor of Fate destroyed the Lord of Balance’s second true body, and Li Qing, the Lord of Despair, Wealth True God, the Fighting Dragon Lord, and Suffering True God fell in the following breaths.
• Li Qing asked the Abyssal Demon King to intercept God Emperor of Fate so Causal Buddha could break through to the second rank, and the Abyssal Demon King agreed.
• The Abyssal Demon King blocked God Emperor of Fate and explained that he intended to help the Heretic Sequence gain second-rank powerhouses, weakening its dependence on Fate and shifting the balance among the factions.
• Li Qing and Mountain River Earth Emperor continued their staged clash as the twentieth breath passed and second-rank Concept Logic began redistributing power across the Blue Light Demon Domain.

Causal Buddha advanced to second-grade Concept Logic, completing the Heretic Sequence’s first strike and shifting the Blue Light Demon Domain’s power. Li Qing and God Emperor of Fate began the second wave of their plan, as several new powerhouses underwent the origin’s baptism and the major factions clashed to stop them.

• Causal Buddha reached second-grade Concept Logic, increasing the Heretic Sequence’s share of the Blue Light Demon Domain’s power.
• Li Qing and God Emperor of Fate agreed to launch a second strike, with Causal Buddha set to intercept Lord of Stars and God Emperor of Fate assigned to restrain Mountain River Earth Emperor.
• White Jade Devil Lord, Black Devil Monarch, Omniscient Lord Li Qing, Hope Lord Li Qing, and Order Lord Li Qing underwent the Blue Light Demon Race origin’s baptism.
• At the eleventh breath, Abyssal Demon King attacked a Celestial God Sequence powerhouse, while God Emperor of Fate attacked Omniscient Lord Li Qing and Lord of Stars charged at Hope Lord Li Qing.
• Causal Buddha intercepted Lord of Stars, and the two second-grade powerhouses began fighting as Mountain River Earth Emperor assessed whether the Heretic Sequence could continue to hold him back.

Li Qing and the Abyssal Demon King continued their assault while their battle with the God Emperor of Fate reached a stalemate, and the Black Devil Monarch advanced to the second rank. Li Qing prepared to exploit the conflict to siphon the Blue Light Demon Domain’s resources, while coordinating the next attack with the God Emperor of Fate.

• The Abyssal Demon King killed the Battle True God, Seven Kill True God, Ten Thousand Dragons True God, and Golden Light True God, while the God Emperor of Fate and the Abyssal Demon King fought to a stalemate.
• Li Qing’s Present Body connected hundreds of passages to the Blue Light Demon Domain and positioned replicas to steal resources when the fighters could not intervene.
• The Black Devil Monarch completed his second-rank status and connected his Concept Logic to the Blue Light Demon Domain’s origin.
• Li Qing’s Divine Body told the Abyssal Demon King that the third wave of impact was near and instructed the God Emperor of Fate to intercept the Mountain River Earth Emperor when the twelfth third-grade powerhouse was attacked.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates quietly infiltrated the region around the Blue Light Demon Domain, while Li Qing relied on the domain’s connection to the Infinite Universe barrier to conceal his Simulated Universe.

Li Qing’s plan entered its third wave as the Heretic Sequence prepared to encircle Rank One powerhouses and help its members break through. The Abyssal Demon King and God Emperor of Fate continued their battle, while Li Qing delayed giving the Abyssal Demon King coordinates and the fighting began anew.

• Li Qing told the Heretic Sequence that the third step had begun and asked Fighting Dragon Lord and Fighting Saint to prepare for the encirclement.
• Five auras rose from the Blue Light Demon Domain as the third wave began, while Abyssal Demon King told God Emperor of Fate he would kill four more Third Rank cultivators and admitted he would break their agreement.
• Abyssal Demon King asked Li Qing’s Divine Body for the ninth Third Rank cultivator’s coordinates, but Li Qing withheld them until the sixteenth breath, limiting the time Abyssal Demon King would have to act.
• God Emperor of Fate mocked Abyssal Demon King for not receiving the coordinates, and Abyssal Demon King answered that God Emperor of Fate had still lost his advantage and gained a new enemy.
• Li Qing’s Present Body clones prepared to evacuate people and seize the Blue Light Demon Domain’s resources, while Lunar Divine Lord attacked Fighting Dragon Lord and White Jade Devil Lord intercepted; Lord of Stars and Causal Buddha continued fighting.

Li Qing's replicas stole a huge share of the Blue Light Demon Domain's resources as the God Emperor of Fate and the Abyssal Demon King continued their plan to kill the Abyssal Demon King. The chapter ended with the Sumeru Patriarch trapped in a prepared formation as four second-grade powerhouses arrived to help contain the Abyssal Demon King.

• The Abyssal Demon King and the God Emperor of Fate killed several of Li Qing's second true bodies while the Eastern Heavenly King and Western Divine Mother also fell.
• The God Emperor of Fate warned Sumeru Patriarch that the Abyssal Demon King would target him and arranged a sealing formation, a teleportation array, and reinforcements.
• Li Qing's replicas stole resources amounting to nearly five percent of the Blue Light Demon Domain, causing violent disturbances across the world.
• The God Emperor of Fate realized Li Qing was stealing the domain's mass, while Li Qing told the Abyssal Demon King to attack Sumeru Patriarch.
• The Abyssal Demon King attacked Sumeru Patriarch as the Fighting Saint escaped through Li Qing's prepared teleportation route and the Fighting Dragon Lord continued his breakthrough.
• The sealing formation trapped the area around Sumeru Patriarch, and four second-grade powerhouses descended through the God Emperor of Fate's teleportation formation.

Li Qing’s allies trapped the Abyssal Demon King in a sealing formation and tried to transport it to Li Qing’s spacetime node, but the passage shattered and the seal broke. Elsewhere, the Fighting Saint survived his promotion to Second Rank, and the Demon King began forming a second true body as the powers converged on the node.

• The God Emperor of Fate reinforced the sealing formation while the Abyssal Demon King drew on the Dark Demon Sequence to resist it and began constructing a second true body.
• Li Qing revealed that he had never intended to cooperate with the Abyssal Demon King, whose projection vanished as the sealing formation neared Li Qing’s spacetime node.
• The Mountain River Earth Emperor attacked the teleportation passage, but Heavenly Dao Reincarnation blocked him; their clash helped shatter the passage and break the seal.
• The Fighting Saint completed his promotion to Second Rank as his second true body perished, while the Fighting Dragon Lord also completed his transformation and headed for Li Qing’s node.
• The God Emperor of Fate and four Second Rank powerhouses joined forces to hold back the freed Abyssal Demon King as its second true body neared completion beneath the Earth Abyss.

Li Qing destroyed the Abyssal Demon King’s second true body and trapped him in a sealed spacetime node, where thirteen Grade Two powerhouses began wearing down his defenses. As the God Emperor of Fate held off the Mountain River Earth Emperor, the Earth Emperor activated a hidden avatar in the Infinite Universe to bring outside forces into the conflict.

• Li Qing’s Present Body used a spacetime passage from the Simulated Universe to destroy the Abyssal Demon King’s nearly completed second true body.
• The God Emperor of Fate’s second wave of power blasted the Abyssal Demon King and his logic into a spacetime node, where Li Qing’s Divine Body sealed them in with an annihilation formation.
• Thirteen Grade Two powerhouses attacked the Abyssal Demon King, who crystallized the prototype of the Final Logic into a strong defense.
• The God Emperor of Fate fought the Mountain River Earth Emperor in deep spacetime and warned him that he could turn the tables if needed.
• The Mountain River Earth Emperor decided to break the deadlock and awakened his hidden second-rank avatar in the Infinite Universe to draw outside forces into the conflict.

Li Qing learned that the Abyssal Demon King had prepared a second true body to summon outside powers if his main body died, making him unable to finish the fight for now. After the God Emperor of Fate and Mountain River Earth Emperor teamed up to trace Li Qing’s Simulated Universe, he moved it and decided to break the stalemate by ending the war for the Infinite Universe Fragments.

• The Mountain River Earth Emperor and the Abyssal Demon King sent incarnations to seek help from the other five great Lords and the Root of the Indescribable if their plans to escape failed.
• Li Qing’s Jade Tablet revealed the Abyssal Demon King’s second true body and its plan to draw outside powers into the Blue Light Demon Domain after the main body died.
• Li Qing realized he could not kill the Abyssal Demon King until he could locate the second true body, and he suspected the Mountain River Earth Emperor also had one outside the universe.
• The God Emperor of Fate and Mountain River Earth Emperor temporarily joined forces to trace Li Qing’s parallel universe, but Li Qing shattered their tracking passages and moved the Simulated Universe.
• Li Qing concluded that he had to break the deadlock from outside and accelerate the war for the Infinite Universe Fragments while advancing the Ark Plan and the attack from within and without.

After concluding that the war in the Blue Light Demon Domain would remain deadlocked for nearly a thousand years, Li Qing began preparing for a decisive battle. He located the Mysterious Unknown in a void forbidden zone and secretly coordinated with the Six Great Kingdom Lords, the Root of the Indescribable, and the Uncertainty Demon Gods.

• Li Qing told the Heretic Sequence Lords to build their strength during a thousand-year stalemate, while White Jade Devil Lord led attacks on the Earth Abyss.
• Li Qing's Faith Incarnation monitored battles across the Infinite Universe, and the Jade Tablet detected an anomalously fast erosion of power in a void forbidden zone.
• The Jade Tablet reconstructed the location of the Mysterious Unknown, and Li Qing decided to wait until he could enter Final Logic before beginning the final war.
• Li Qing informed the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable that he had found the Mysterious Unknown and said they should secretly prepare while maintaining the standoff.
• Four Uncertainty Demon Gods agreed to prepare to kill the Mysterious Unknown so they could break through his barrier and enter the Primordial Chaos.
• The Mysterious Unknown sensed another scan from Li Qing and wondered why Li Qing was searching for him instead of focusing on the stalemated war.

Mysterious Unknown suspected Li Qing was trying to draw him out, while the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root Source of the Unspeakable watched the Infinite Universe Fragments for a chance to strike. After the forbidden zones were fully consumed and the new world grew stronger, Li Qing prepared to lead the continuing Investiture of Gods war through tightly managed military tactics.

• Mysterious Unknown decided to remain in place and keep presiding over the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace rather than risk revealing his location.
• The Lord of Ten Thousand Fates urged the other five Kingdom Lords to prepare for a new war in the Infinite Universe Fragments, while the Root Source of the Unspeakable watched and waited for Li Qing to act.
• The incomplete Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation digested the forbidden zones, strengthening the universe and expanding the World of All Beings and High-Dimensional Spacetime; the universe's will began forming a body and the Eternal Universe logic.
• The new world expanded to nearly two trillion li, while the incomplete Heavenly Dao Reincarnation clashed again and sharply reduced everyone's ability to wield its power.
• Li Qing told his allies that Concept Logic covered roughly four-fifths of the Infinite Universe Fragments and that the Investiture of Gods war must continue.
• Li Qing took command of his army and planned to defeat the Four Sovereigns through careful battlefield management, while acknowledging that they might later have to share control of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Li Qing took command of the armies as both sides began a massive battle, while Heaven and Xuanyuan Changlong secretly planned with the Four Great Sovereigns to assassinate the people around him. The Underworld Devil Lord agreed to distract Li Qing by commanding the ground forces, and Xuanyuan Changlong set out to locate Spiritual Rhinoceros, Bright Heavenly Emperor, and Divine Venerable Xuanyu.

• Li Qing's Past Body rejected the idea of luring the enemy's true bodies into a trap, and the others agreed to try despite the low odds of success.
• Li Qing took command as the armies of both sides clashed across the battlefield, with their upper-level powers largely locked in confrontation.
• Heaven proposed targeting Li Qing's allies, and Xuanyuan Changlong agreed to coordinate a joint strike with the Four Great Sovereigns.
• Xuanyuan Changlong approached Underworld Devil Lord and the other sovereigns, proposing that they exploit the world's temporal lag to attack Li Qing's allies without warning.
• Underworld Devil Lord agreed to command the ground forces and draw Li Qing's attention while avoiding knowledge of the assassination plan's details.
• Xuanyuan Changlong agreed to locate Spiritual Rhinoceros, Bright Heavenly Emperor, and Divine Venerable Xuanyu, while Li Qing's Past Body monitored the battle and counted its losses.

Li Qing’s Past Body saw victory in the Investiture of Gods war but realized that the Sovereigns and their forces could not be eliminated easily. Xuanyuan Changlong’s group launched a coordinated ambush on Spiritual Rhinoceros and the Bright Heavenly Emperor, but Li Qing detected the plan and ordered his allies to gather and kill Xuanyuan Changlong first.

• Li Qing’s Past Body assessed the battlefield and concluded that the final outcome would depend on the armies below, while the Sovereigns would likely survive the war.
• Xuanyuan Changlong used the Uncertainty Manji Sigil to predict Spiritual Rhinoceros’s movements, but could not predict Li Qing or Divine Venerable Xuanyu.
• Xuanyuan Changlong decided that the three Sovereigns would attack the Bright Heavenly Emperor while his own forces targeted Spiritual Rhinoceros.
• Xuanyuan Changlong calculated both targets’ locations, and the attackers began closing in to ambush them.
• Li Qing’s Past Body used the Jade Tablet to uncover the encirclement plan and told his allies to gather at Spiritual Rhinoceros’s location and attack Xuanyuan Changlong.

Li Qing’s group ambushed Xuanyuan Changlong’s allies, killing Desolate Age and forcing the others to retreat. Desolate Age’s allies agreed to help him regain Concept Logic after the Investiture of Gods war, while Li Qing began searching for a way to eliminate the now-united group.

• Li Qing’s five figures struck Xuanyuan Changlong’s ambush, and their attack swept up Desolate Age.
• Desolate Age tried to escape by self-destructing, but Li Qing’s Heart-Destroying Sword erased his Conceptual Logic essence.
• Xuanyuan Changlong and the others realized Li Qing had detected their plan through the changing direction of their logic’s sources, then withdrew.
• Desolate Age returned to the Conceptual Logic Prototype realm, and his allies agreed to help him regain Concept Logic after the Investiture of Gods war.
• Li Qing searched for the gathered allies, but frowned when he realized their combined strength made them difficult to kill within the Heavenly Realm.

Li Qing used the Way of Changes to guide the World of All Beings' armies, giving them the advantage over the All-Beings Dynasty. Faced with imminent defeat, Wishful Celestial Venerable proposed a high-stakes wager, while the four rulers built a defensive barrier that left Li Qing unable to advance or retreat.

• Li Qing failed to predict the enemy's random movements, then used his Past Body and the Way of Changes to coordinate the World of All Beings' attacks one breath into the future.
• The coordinated attacks shattered the All-Beings Dynasty's military formations, leaving its army heavily damaged and at a growing disadvantage.
• Underworld Devil Lord warned the three rulers that their army would be defeated within five thousand years, and Wishful Celestial Venerable proposed a wager between one hundred thousand elite troops from each side.
• The four rulers agreed to the wager and brought their Concept Logic onto the battlefield, strengthening their army and forming a crystalline defensive barrier.
• Li Qing sensed the barrier's purpose and realized it had left him unable to advance or retreat.
