• Li Qing's Future Body followed traces recorded by the Jade Tablet and discovered a mist-shrouded universe whose presence was exceptionally difficult to detect.

Li Qing's Future Body entered the Order Universe, where the universe's strict laws suppressed his power, and devised a plan to use an Investiture of Gods War to seize control and trap its three evolutionary-level rulers. After studying the universe and its cultivation system, he entered the Main World, where an even stronger seal reduced his power nearly ten thousandfold.

• Li Qing's Future Body entered the universe and found its order weakened his power by seventy percent, so he drew on the Way of Civilization to restore his combat strength.

• The three great progenitors discovered an ocean of negative emotion beneath Icefield Province and ordered a Buddhist expert to investigate, but the compromised expert concealed the truth on Li Qing's Future Body's orders.
• After repeated reports found no anomaly, Light Buddha suspected their investigators had been compromised, and Purple Qi Dao Lord discovered that the Daoist cultivators' Daos could no longer be observed.
• The three progenitors descended into the Blackwater World, where Li Qing's Future Body sealed them inside a vast space-time with the Way of Civilization.
• The progenitors failed to break through the seal and realized Li Qing's Future Body was trying to trap them while striking at those outside.
• The progenitors' avatars ordered their disciples to move north and attack the seal, and streams of Radiance surged toward them.

• After a hundred days of fighting the Blackwater, Purple Qi Dao Lord, Haoran Sage, and Light Buddha saw the armies advance and concluded that Li Qing had deliberately trapped them and cleared the way for his conquest.

The three experts withdrew the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation to the Imperial City after Heavenly King Li Qing exposed its weakness and threatened its cultivators. They then sent Kun Dynasty forces against Li Qing’s northern territory, but his armies broke through a city, leaving the experts scrambling to organize a counterforce.

• Light Buddha, Spring and Autumn Sage, and Purple Qi Dao Lord withdrew the Ten Thousand Immortals Grand Formation from Blackwater spacetime and moved it north to attack the invaders’ stronghold.
• Heavenly King Li Qing gathered power from the northern cities and earth veins, then fought the formation deity to a standstill while his Future Body discovered its flaw.

• Li Qing’s army grew to nearly nine million, while Purple Qi Dao Lord and the others assembled nearly seven million troops for a decisive confrontation.
• The armies clashed across the eastern, western, and central battlefields.

Li Qing’s forces drove Purple Qi Dao Lord, the Spring and Autumn Sage, and the Light Buddha to retreat, while Li Qing’s clones seized the Kun Dynasty’s Imperial City and brought its cities under Heavenly King Li Qing’s rule. As both sides prepared for a decisive battle, temples to the Lord of Civilization spread and Faith Incarnations gathered, though Purple Qi Dao Lord and the others had not noticed them.

• The Spring and Autumn Sage recognized that his army was losing badly and advised a retreat to fortified cities, so Purple Qi Dao Lord and the Light Buddha ordered their forces to withdraw.
• Li Qing’s Future Body sent more than ten thousand clones into Kun Dynasty cities, where they brainwashed officials and raised new armies under his control.

• Li Qing began developing Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, ordering the creation of tools that could control stars and weather while the Order Universe merged more closely with the Primordial Chaos.

Heavenly King Li Qing activated the completed Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation System, which gradually replaced the Order Universe’s original order. After the new system enveloped the universe, Li Qing merged his fundamental consciousness with the tangible Great Dao it had condensed.

• Heavenly King Li Qing activated the system, awakening artificial deities throughout the universe and connecting their logic to the Heavenly Dao and reincarnation subsystems.
• The subsystems gathered the universe’s information and authority into the system in Li Qing’s hand, beginning to expand the new Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

• Over the next ten thousand years, the new order replaced the original Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and fully enveloped the Order Universe.
• Heavenly King Li Qing merged his fundamental consciousness with the new Great Dao of Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Li Qing used the Way of Civilization to conceal the formation of the Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Order and suppress its Final Tribulation ripples. Powerful outsiders arrived and attacked the Order Universe, but Li Qing’s Future Body held them back, revealing his identity to Dead Silence Daoist and his companions.

• Li Qing’s Future Body enveloped the tribulation ripples with the Way of Civilization while Li Qing prepared to draw on the strength of his Past Body and Present Body if needed.
• End Daoist, Dead Silence Daoist, and True Nature Daoist sensed the ripples and headed toward the Order Universe, while Destruction Ancestor also set out to investigate.

• Dead Silence Daoist’s group and Destruction Ancestor arrived outside the Order Universe and joined forces to attack it.
• Li Qing gathered the Way of Civilization to block their combined strike, and Dead Silence Daoist’s group recognized his Dao and realized that Li Qing was undergoing another Final Tribulation.

The Destruction Ancestor joined Dead Silence and two other Daoists in attacking Li Qing, whose Way of Civilization had been protecting him while Heavenly Dao Reincarnation neared completion. The Destruction Ancestor used the Disordered Destruction Dao art to break through the defense, and the four pursuers entered the universe to attack Li Qing and interfere with his reincarnation.

• Dead Silence and the other two Daoists joined the Destruction Ancestor in attacking Li Qing's Way of Civilization, but its resistance held their combined power back.
• The Destruction Ancestor proposed using the Disordered Destruction Dao art and demanded half of their gains; Dead Silence and the others agreed.

• Heavenly King Li Qing used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to evade the attack while his Future Body wore down its destructive force.
• The Destruction Ancestor and the three Daoists entered the universe, surrounded Heavenly King Li Qing, and unleashed power intended to interfere with his Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

As Heavenly King Li Qing transformed the Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, four powerhouses used a series of Dao techniques to break through his defenses and pursue him. He led their destructive attack into the Netherworld, where it struck the three suppressed experts, including the Purple Qi Dao Lord.

• Dead Silence, Destruction Ancestor, True Nature Daoist, and End Daoist spread their Great Daos to disrupt Li Qing's transformation, but his Way of Civilization held them off.
• True Nature Daoist supplied Infinite Mechanism traces, allowing Destruction Ancestor to unleash the series of Dao techniques again and restore their destructive power.
• The series of Dao techniques shattered Li Qing's Way of Civilization, forcing Heavenly King Li Qing to evade repeated attacks as his transformation neared completion.
• Li Qing led the pursuing destructive force into the Netherworld, where it struck the defensive radiance of the three suppressed experts, including the Purple Qi Dao Lord.

Purple Qi Dao Lord, Spring and Autumn Sage, and Light Buddha escaped Li Qing's trap with their Great Daos badly damaged, then decided to leave the universe and recover before joining the fight against him. As they began crossing the cosmic barrier, Li Qing secretly sent power into the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Network to keep them from escaping easily.

• Dead Silence's group and Li Qing's Future Body attacked Purple Qi Dao Lord and the other two from both sides, damaging their Great Daos before the Dao Method Series ran out of power.
• Purple Qi Dao Lord, Spring and Autumn Sage, and Light Buddha broke free from the Way of Civilization and fled into the void.
• The three decided to leave the universe, strengthen themselves, and return to hunt Li Qing if he had not yet completed his new Great Dao.
