• Li Qing’s projection vanished when the Nine Nether Profound Underworld Supreme True Demon and the Void Immeasurable Vacuum Mother probed it, and Li Qing decided to make the group wary of offending him.
• Li Qing stayed away for nearly a month while the thirty-six Infinite Mechanism powerhouses worried that their alliance and access to his information had collapsed.
• The Supreme True Demon and the Vacuum Mother each offered to help Li Qing accomplish one thing for free in exchange for his return.
• After monitoring the group’s thoughts, Li Qing sent his projection back and told the two powerhouses they owed him a favor.

• Li Qing set a boundary: if the powerhouses investigated him again, he would end their alliance and reveal their information to rival factions.
• The thirty-six Infinite Mechanism powerhouses accepted Li Qing’s terms and agreed to use his projection as an information relay station.

While the thirty-six Infinite Mechanism powerhouses formed an alliance to find and stop him, Li Qing secretly spread and strengthened his Way of Civilization, leaving him ready to expand its reach further.

• Li Qing told the thirty-six Infinite Mechanism powerhouses that he could reveal information to help them prepare for the coming calamity.

• The Yin Wood Great Divine Lord proposed turning their gathering place into an information exchange and forming an offensive and defensive alliance.
• Li Qing used Civilization Information Essence to analyze the universe and created doctrines resembling the Daos of selected members of the six major powers, spreading them through his incarnations.
• Li Qing expanded four Great Dao paths to one hundred million people each, raising his three bodies’ power to the sixfold evolution level for each path and his total potential to the fifty-fourfold evolution level.
• Li Qing’s Present Body decided to let the doctrines spread further so his sect could pass them off as genuine and reach more Pathwalkers.

Li Qing's Present Body spread his Dao through hidden shrines that stole worshippers' spiritual power and gradually converted them into followers. Meanwhile, Li Qing's Past Body worked out Civilization Infinite Possibilities, leaving it with a plan to foster continual innovation across a universe.

• Zhang Wuliang noticed that the spiritual power gathered in White Cloud City had fallen by one percent and ordered an investigation into the major sects and possible cult activity.

The four gods gathered their forces to contain him, but Li Qing's overwhelming power broke their first formation, and he began considering how to weaken their new defense.

• Li Qing's Future Body gathered the dead's obsessions into a vast Blackwater Ocean and spread the Way of Civilization through the Four Gods Universe.
• The Lord of Mystery, the Lord of Fear, the Lord of Nature, and the Lord of War recognized the invasion and ordered the universe's divine domains to suppress the black water.
• The four gods combined their authorities into a divine domain formation, but Li Qing's five directions of civilization unleashed power at sixtyfold Evolution Grade and stopped it.
• The four gods summoned countless gods and formed the All Gods Grand Formation, redirecting Li Qing's power through the universe's logic to withstand his attack.
• Li Qing observed that the formation depended on the authorities of the gods and recognized that dismantling them would weaken its defenses.

Li Qing used Civilization Information Essence and the Jade Tablet to uncover the Four Gods’ secrets, then spread the Way of Civilization throughout their universe. He forced the gods supporting the Four Gods Formation to abandon it, leaving the Four Gods exposed to his power.

• Li Qing calculated the Four Gods Universe’s information and prepared to use Civilization Equivalent Exchange to force transactions with its inhabitants.

Li Qing’s Future Body drove the Four Gods from their universe and used the Way of Civilization to replace its divine order with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. He proclaimed laws that made knowledge and creation available to every living being, beginning a new era under the Way of Civilization.

• The Four Gods escaped into Primordial Chaos as the Way of Civilization engulfed their universe, and they lamented that they had not established Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation earlier.
• Li Qing’s Future Body declared the universe his and used the Way of Civilization to spread a projected Heavenly Dao Reincarnation system throughout it.
• The system stripped the gods of their control over universal logic, and the Way of Civilization destroyed them and turned their powers into components of the new order.
• Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation created the Netherworld, the Heavenly Realm, artificial gods, and a master system that took control of the Four Gods Universe’s logic.
• Li Qing’s incarnation addressed the universe as the Lord of Infinite Possibilities and proclaimed laws granting all beings access to knowledge, rewards for new contributions, and protection for creation.

Li Qing established Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to organize knowledge, resources, and research across the Four Gods Universe, where countless independent paths flourished into a great civilizational current. As he connected with that current, he began to envision True Civilization, in which every person would become an independent, invulnerable civilization.

• Li Qing conceived of True Civilization, imagining every person as an independent civilization who could neither harm nor control another.

Li Qing realized that his path toward true freedom required transcending the Supreme Mechanism, while the Four Gods Universe’s final great Tribulation began to attract powerful beings. The Lord of Mystery and his allies persuaded King of Demon Abyss to join them in moving against the Four Gods Universe.

• Li Qing realized that a civilization without weaknesses or needs could end exploitation, but reaching that state might require surpassing the Supreme Mechanism.
• The Four Gods Universe’s final great Tribulation began to form, and its Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation sealed the universe while faint ripples spread through Primordial Chaos.
• Water Spirit Immortal sensed the Tribulation’s ripples and led her three deputy gods toward their source.
• The Lord of Mystery and the other three asked King of Demon Abyss to help conquer the Four Gods Universe and gain its preacher’s beyond-limit power.
• After sensing a karmic connection to the final great Tribulation, the four visitors told King of Demon Abyss that the preacher might have mastered multiple Great Daos, and he agreed to investigate.
• King of Demon Abyss used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to jump toward the Four Gods Universe as its spacetime compression formation stood ready for rapid travel.

Water Spirit Immortal attacked Li Qing's Four Gods Universe while he completed his Great Dao transformation, but his defenses held until the King of Demon Abyss and the Four Gods arrived. The six joined forces and Water Spirit Immortal unleashed a powerful Dao art, leaving Li Qing facing the chapter's first attack capable of threatening his defenses.

• After thirty breaths, Water Spirit Immortal and three deputy divine generals formed a formation and attacked the Four Gods Universe with a vast ocean of power.
• Li Qing's Future Body combined Heavenly Dao Reincarnation with the Way of Civilization, raising the universe's defensive power to sixty-six times the evolution level and stopping the waves.
• Water Spirit Immortal considered retreating, but the King of Demon Abyss and the Four Gods arrived and attacked the universe with power reaching forty-three times the evolution level; their combined assault still failed to break through.
• Water Spirit Immortal persuaded the King of Demon Abyss and the Four Gods to share the cost of her Dao art, and they agreed to divide the universe if they conquered it.
• Water Spirit Immortal used Myriad Waters Divine Thunder, combining the formation's power with the Demon Abyss Universe's force and an Infinite Mechanism trace to unleash a strike that could shatter Great Daos.
• Li Qing's Future Body realized the strike posed a true danger and pushed the Way of Civilization and Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to their limits.

Li Qing's Future Body used the Space-Time Compression Formation to escape Water Spirit Immortal's attack, then transformed Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation into Indescribable Civilization to withstand the pursuing experts' assault. Water Spirit Immortal and the others realized he had mastered several Great Daos.

• Water Spirit Immortal's Dao technique broke through Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, but Li Qing's Future Body compressed the Four Gods Universe and triggered a random jump.
• King of Demon Abyss added another trace of the Infinite Mechanism, and Water Spirit Immortal led the others in pursuit with a coordinate-jumping Dao technique.
• The Four Gods Universe reappeared at a mysterious coordinate, where Water Spirit Immortal and the others attacked its weakened defenses.
• With only two breaths left before Civilization Infinite Possibilities condensed, Li Qing's Future Body transformed Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation into Indescribable Civilization.
• Water Spirit Immortal was shocked when her attack became useless, and Lord of Mystery concluded that Li Qing had mastered several Great Daos.

Li Qing completed the Great Dao of Civilization Infinite Possibilities, letting the Four Gods Universe escape Water Spirit Immortal’s attack. With six Great Daos established and their combined power greatly increased, he planned how to create the remaining three.

• Water Spirit Immortal spent four traces of the Infinite Mechanism to unleash lightning at the Four Gods Universe, but the universe used Civilization Equivalent Exchange to divide the attack across ten thousand years.
• The Great Dao of Civilization Infinite Possibilities took shape, allowing the Four Gods Universe to jump away and erase its traces before Water Spirit Immortal could catch it.
• Water Spirit Immortal turned on Lord of Mystery and the other three, killed them, and took their Great Dao essence, while the Lord of Demon Abyss escaped with the Lord of Nature.
• Li Qing passed the universe’s great tribulation and erased the weakened lightning, though the Four Gods Universe’s power would not grow for ten thousand years.
• Li Qing established the Great Dao of Civilization Infinite Possibilities across his Past, Present, and Future Bodies, bringing his total to six Great Daos and planning to seek the remaining three.

Li Qing, Lord of Infinite Possibilities, developed a theory for Civilization Uncertainty and set out to find a suitable chaotic universe. In the Unique Universe, the seven Supreme Mechanism wielders met to discuss the mysterious person with the Root Jade Disc and the threat he posed.

• Li Qing, Lord of Infinite Possibilities, reasoned that extreme chaos and proliferating civilizations could give rise to Civilization Uncertainty.
• Li Qing searched the universes he had encountered, chose a relatively suitable one, and leaped toward it.
• The Four Gods Universe began moving toward the Order Universe and the Indescribable Universe, while it would take over ten thousand years to wear away the divided thunder Dao laws.
• The seven wielders of the Supreme Mechanisms gathered in the Unique Universe to discuss the information probe and the Root Jade Disc wielder's presence there.
• Bodhi Daoist said the mysterious man had appeared in the Netherworld, evaded surveillance, and gathered foundational information reaching back to the Unique Universe's birth.
• The Demon Sect Master suspected ancient Infinite Mechanism powerhouses had joined forces with the mysterious man, and Unceasing Daoist warned that the matter was more complicated.

The seven Supremes agreed to use their Supreme Mechanisms and the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to search the Unique Universe and suppress the mysterious mastermind. Li Qing realized the search threatened to expose his networks and incarnations, and the Jade Tablet identified the traces most at risk.

• The seven Supremes decided to target all Infinite Mechanism powerhouses and launch a comprehensive search for the mysterious person’s followers and traces.
• The six great factions activated their Supreme and Infinite Mechanisms, filling the Unique Universe with the power of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing’s Present Body sensed imminent danger as his Past Body used Civilization Information Essence to analyze the upheaval.
• The Jade Tablet revealed that the seven Supremes had joined forces to search for every trace of Li Qing in the Unique Universe.
• The Jade Tablet warned that Li Qing’s twenty-six East Sea islands, Netherworld grotto-heavens, and unusual mortal-world sects could be exposed.

Li Qing prepared his incarnations and followers to evade a universe-wide search by the six great factions, then learned the search would take at least half a shichen. He warned the thirty-six Infinite Mechanism experts that the factions were searching for the thing they all sought.

• Li Qing hid his Present Body and incarnations within nearby lifeforms, erased memories of himself from believers, and ordered ghostly creatures to flee the Netherworld grotto-heavens.
• Li Qing dismantled the Civilization Heavenly Dao Reincarnation in the grotto-heavens and concealed his Divine Body and incarnations within ghostly creatures.
• Li Qing's Past Body deduced information patterns that could sense the seven Supreme Mechanisms, and his incarnations placed them on their hosts so they could self-destruct if a search reached their consciousness.
• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation began searching life throughout the Unique Universe, and Li Qing determined that scanning all life and things across space and time would take at least half a shichen.
• Li Qing's Present Body told the thirty-six Infinite Mechanism experts that the six great factions were searching the universe for the thing they all sought.
