• The All-Beings Dynasty’s cultivators boarded vessels and withdrew into cave-heavens gathered by the four great Sovereigns, leaving the Main World.

Li Qing used Fang Yingtian and the Eternal Immortal Dynasty to cultivate Civilization Logic while the Final Logic rulers and other enemies prepared to attack the Infinite Universe Fragments. Knowing the fragments could not withstand repeated assaults, Li Qing decided they needed to compress their spacetime mass and hide within the universe barrier, and he went to speak with the universe will.

• Li Qing directed Fang Yingtian to conquer the All-Beings Dynasty, establish the Eternal Immortal Dynasty, and prepare for the Cosmic Investiture of Gods ceremony.
• Li Qing secretly shaped the dynasty’s scientific institutions to gather collective wisdom and develop Civilization Logic, alongside his other plans to reach Final Logic.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates, the Netherworld Lord, and the other rulers prepared to attack the Infinite Universe Fragments, while the Root of the Indescribable and Mysterious Unknown watched for an opportunity.
• Li Qing used the Jade Tablet to assess the enemy forces and concluded that the universe will could not stop repeated attacks, so the fragments had to evade surveillance by compressing their spacetime mass and moving through the universe barrier.
• Li Qing’s will projection appeared at the universe’s origin, where the universe will’s avatar asked what had brought him there.

Li Qing revealed the Mysterious Unknown and the hollow Disaster to the universe’s powerful figures, then laid out a secret plan to compress the universe and escape its pursuer. As preparations began, he returned to the imprisoned Unrecordable Gods and Devils and told Gu that the war over the Infinite Universe Fragments had ended.

• The Cosmic Will created a sealed spacetime where Li Qing’s Past Body gathered the universe’s powerful figures and warned them that the hollow Disaster could erupt after the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing explained the Ark Plan: a universe-spanning formation would compress the Infinite Universe Fragments, buy time to cut away the hollow, and escape through the barrier of the Infinite Universe.
• Li Qing named the Investiture of Gods as the formation’s key and presented candidates for star gods, drawing mostly on his allies and including a thousand of the four supreme rulers’ Immortal Realm subordinates.
• Li Qing said the Cosmic Will would hold off the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Indescribable until the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation was established, after which the formation would activate in secret.
• Li Qing’s Faith Incarnations returned to the sealed Unrecordable Gods and Devils, and Li Qing told Gu that the war over the Infinite Universe Fragments was over.

Li Qing arranged contracts with the four Uncertainty Gods and Devils to secure their help in drawing the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable into a stronger war while misleading the Mysterious Unknown. As the seals on the four gods and devils began to break, the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable agreed to reinforce them and continue the deception.

• Li Qing reviewed the Primordial Chaos Contract, revised its terms to require all four Uncertainty Gods and Devils to act, and signed a separate contract with each of them.
• The Uncertainty Gods and Devils agreed to intensify the war and tie down the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable's forces.

• Violent fluctuations spread from the four sealed locations as the Uncertainty Gods and Devils began breaking through their seals.
• Li Qing told the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable to reinforce the seals and make the conflict appear to escalate, and they agreed.

Li Qing and the other powerhouses completed preparations to merge the Heavenly Realm and Underworld as the Eternal Immortal Dynasty prepared to hold its founding ceremony. While Fang Yingtian ascended the Heavenly Altar, the universe’s will received a portion of their permissions and secretly formed the embryonic Final Logic, leaving the conflict with the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Mysterious Unknown unresolved.

• The Lord of Ten Thousand Fates urged the others to use their weakened state as an opportunity to attack the Infinite Universe Fragments and draw the sealed gods and devils out.
• Li Qing's Past Body announced that the Heavenly Realm and Underworld would merge before the investiture, and the incomplete Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation began reshaping both realms.
• Over several years, the Eternal Immortal Dynasty unified its cities and restored order, while the Heavenly Realm and Underworld took shape as a new world.
• Fang Yingtian began the Eternal Immortal Dynasty's founding ceremony by ascending the Heavenly Altar as the Six Great Kingdom Lords, the Root of the Indescribable, and the Mysterious Unknown watched.
• Li Qing and the others transferred one-fifth of their permissions to the universe's will, which used them to form an embryonic Final Logic and concealed it within Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Fang Yingtian began the Investiture of Gods ceremony, assigning cultivators divine stations as the universe’s laws and the incomplete Heavenly Dao Reincarnation grew more orderly. Li Qing’s Past Body coordinated the final construction of the complete reincarnation and the universe-compression formation, while Fang Yingtian felt the intoxicating pull of rising destiny.

• The universe will agreed to lend its authority to constructing the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and prepared to distribute outside attacks through the universe at the cost of its true body.
• Fang Yingtian climbed the Heaven-Sacrificing Altar and read the heavenly sacrifice decree, summoning the Investiture of Gods List and God-Striking Whip.
• Fang Yingtian began enfeoffing gods, sending cultivators above the Longevity Realm to the Heavenly Realm or netherworld and assigning lower-ranking cultivators to serve as local deities.
• As divine stations were assigned, laws came under stricter control and the incomplete Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation became more efficient and complete.
• Li Qing’s Past Body ordered everyone to complete the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and formation in sync with the enfeoffment, compress the universe, and hide from Mysterious Unknown’s pursuit.
• Fang Yingtian felt the universe’s destiny grow with each god he enfeoffed and yearned for its power as gazes from above made his heart jolt.

Fang Yingtian completed the appointments of the gods and called fate to merge with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, bringing it to the brink of unifying with the Cosmic Origin. The Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable attacked the Infinite Universe Fragments, while the four Gods and Devils of Uncertainty broke free and joined Li Qing’s side.

• Fang Yingtian appointed Zhuge Shenji as the Sun God, completing the gods’ Logic Network.
• Fang Yingtian called fate to return to the Heavenly Emperors and Ghost Emperors, and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation began drawing it toward the Cosmic Origin.
• The Six Great Kingdom Lords fused their Final Logics into a sword and attacked the Infinite Universe Fragments as the Root of the Indescribable struck with a gray fist.
• The four Gods and Devils of Uncertainty broke free of their seal and rushed toward the Infinite Universe Fragments, choosing to aid Li Qing.
• The Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable realized Li Qing had likely secured the four’s help by offering to free Yan.

The universe's will dispersed the incoming attacks throughout the Infinite Universe Fragments, saving the cosmic barrier but sacrificing itself. Heavenly Dao Reincarnation then joined with Cosmic Origin, and its completed power suppressed the invading forces.

• Desolate Age began using the origin of the Infinite Universe Fragments to transform his Conceptual Logic Prototype, drawing suspicion from Li Qing, Underworld Devil Lord, and others.
• The Root of the Indescribable and the Six Great Kingdom Lords pierced the Gods and Devils of Uncertainty's defenses and struck the barrier of the Infinite Universe Fragments.
• The universe's will spread the incoming power across every strand of logic and every part of the universe, subjecting all beings and fundamental forces to its impact.
• Desolate Age was overwhelmed by the combined pressure and exploded, becoming the first powerhouse to die in the tribulation.
• The universe's will perished after guiding away most of the attack, while uncontrolled power caused explosions across the universe.
• The Mandate of Heaven joined Cosmic Origin, and the Investiture of Gods List merged with them to complete Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, whose power crushed the invading forces.

After the Infinite Universe Fragments blocked their first attack by distributing its force, the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable reversed time and prepared a matter-based assault. Mysterious Unknown observed their plan as Li Qing learned of the coming attack and warned the universe’s will and the Concept Logic experts.

• The Infinite Universe Fragments dispersed the Six Great Kingdom Lords’ attack, and Lord of the Longevity Kingdom concluded that an unknown existence within them had shared the force.
• The Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable reversed time by one breath, while Mysterious Unknown watched and prepared the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates proposed turning their power into pure material mass, and the Root of the Indescribable agreed.
• The Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable combined their powers into a vast, sharp black crystal intended to break through the Infinite Universe Fragments’ barrier.
• Way of Changes and the Jade Tablet detected and reconstructed the attack, and Li Qing alerted the universe’s will and the Concept Logic experts to the enemy’s plan.
• Xuanyuan Changlong alone sensed the time reversal and was terrified.

Li Qing's Past Body and the cosmic will used the Final Prison and the universe's power to hold back the mysterious crystal, but the collision freed Yan and killed Desolate Age. Destiny then completed the Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, which restored the cosmic barrier and merged with the array of stars, earth, mountains, and rivers.

• Li Qing's Past Body proposed using the cosmic will as a buffer and the Final Prison as a shield against the crystal.
• The cosmic will sent the Final Prison beyond the cosmic barrier, where it collided with the crystal and was rapidly destroyed by the impact.
• The cracking Final Prison released Yan, who burst free but was pinned between the crystal and the cosmic barrier.
• Yan used his power to escape the collision and buy the barrier a brief reprieve, while the cosmic will's final surge overwhelmed Desolate Age and destroyed him.
• Destiny flowed through the Heavenly Dao into the Cosmic Origin, completing the Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and forcing the crystal back beyond the restored barrier.
• The Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation spread throughout the Infinite Universe Fragments and merged with the array of stars, earth, mountains, and rivers.

Li Qing began the Ark Plan, compressing the Infinite Universe Fragments while the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable prepared another attack. Mysterious Unknown waited for one breath, giving Li Qing a chance to weaken his control over the universe.

• Heavenly Dao Reincarnation repelled the attackers, and Lord of Ten Thousand Fates urged the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable to strike again.
• The attackers withdrew their suppression of the four Uncertainty Gods and Devils, then doubled the mass of their mysterious crystal and sent it toward the Infinite Universe Fragments.
• Mysterious Unknown chose to wait one breath before attacking, mistakenly believing the universe could still be destroyed by the renewed assault.
• Li Qing's Future Body recognized Mysterious Unknown's delay and ordered everyone to begin universal compression as the Ark Plan started.
• The compression formations contracted the void and increased the density of the universe's central worlds, strengthening its logic and repelling Mysterious Unknown's power.
• Li Qing's Past Body told the others that the uncertainty allies would not help during the breath and that the universe's compression was weakening Mysterious Unknown's control.

Li Qing and the others compressed the Infinite Universe Fragments to evade the Mysterious Unknown’s attack and strengthen their barrier. The Mysterious Unknown struck early, but the group isolated his concentrated power and began driving the compressed universe toward its boundary barrier.

• The Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable launched a mysterious crystal at the universe, but the Infinite Universe Fragments suddenly contracted and evaded it.
• The Mysterious Unknown realized the compression would limit the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace’s power and activated it early, concentrating its force into a hollow in the northern sea.
• Li Qing’s Past Body and the other holders of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation permissions isolated the hollow from the universe, cutting off the Mysterious Unknown’s concentrated power.
• The Infinite Universe Fragments completed their compression to roughly one light-year across, greatly strengthening their cosmic barrier.
• Li Qing’s Past Body ordered everyone to sink the universe toward its boundary barrier, and the fragments surged through the vacuum with the mysterious crystals in pursuit.

Li Qing used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to turn the pursuing attack against a void created by the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace, while Mysterious Unknown gathered power to intercept the fleeing Infinite Universe Fragments. Meanwhile, the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils broke free and reunited, discussing whether Li Qing’s plan could succeed.

• Heavenly Dao Reincarnation shoved the sealed void into the pursuing crystals of the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable, and their collision shattered the void.
• Mysterious Unknown recognized how Li Qing had used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, then gathered the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace’s power around the Infinite Universe Fragments.
• Li Qing’s Future Body noticed voids appearing more slowly, and Li Qing’s Past Body warned everyone that Mysterious Unknown was preparing to intercept them.
• The shockwave from the shattered void struck the Infinite Universe Fragments, and Li Qing’s Past Body used it to increase their speed.
• Yan freed Gu and helped the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils—Yan, Gu, Du, Yun, and Tuo—escape their seals and reclaim their power.
• Yun asked whether Li Qing’s plan would succeed, and Gu said the chances were high because Li Qing had contacted beings outside the true primal chaos.

Li Qing and the others forced the Infinite Universe Fragments through the universe barrier and escaped into the primordial chaos, losing a third of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation in the process. Mysterious Unknown began searching the barrier for them, so they abandoned plans to return and prepared to let the Universe Ark sustain the fragments in the chaos.

• The five Unrecordable Gods and Devils planned to lure Mysterious Unknown onto the battlefield, break his lockdown, and escape alive.
• Li Qing and the powerful figures used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to drive the Infinite Universe Fragments through the barrier despite the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace's flames.
• The fragments escaped into the primordial chaos, but the crossing consumed a third of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and nearly one-tenth of their mass.
• Li Qing said the fragments needed time to nurture more life, then guided them toward a Faith Incarnation and fused them with another universe barrier.
• Li Qing's Future Body detected Mysterious Unknown searching the barrier and steered the fragments back into the primordial chaos before his power arrived.
• Xuanyuan Changlong proposed relying on the completed Universe Ark, and Li Qing accepted that returning to the Infinite Universe was no longer possible for now.

Li Qing's group discovered that an infinite mechanism power had sealed the Infinite Universe inside a flaming barrier in the Primordial Chaos, leaving them with no reliable escape. They decided to avoid Mysterious Unknown, strengthen their universe by devouring nearby small universes, and wait for a chance to survive.

• The Infinite Universe Fragments traveled deeper into the Primordial Chaos, where Li Qing's Past Body found a terrifying wall of flame.
• Dead Silence realized that Mysterious Unknown had used an infinite mechanism item to conceal the Infinite Universe's coordinates and create the barrier.
• Li Qing's Past Body and the Jade Tablet revealed that the spherical seal disrupted connections between the Primordial Chaos inside and outside, making escape unlikely.
• Li Qing's Past Body proposed returning to the universe's barrier, devouring attached small universes, and hiding in Chaos if Mysterious Unknown found them.
• The Underworld Devil Lord and the others accepted Li Qing's plan, and the universe will incarnation shared information about resource-rich places to plunder.
• Li Qing kept control of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and prepared to lead the group to those places.

After completing Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, Li Qing led the Infinite Universe Fragments beyond the universe’s barrier and began absorbing a chaotic region while monitoring the Mysterious Unknown. He then gathered the Six Great Kingdom Lords, the Root of the Indescribable, and the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils, leaving them waiting to hear his plan.

• The strongholders’ Concept Logic merged with the Infinite Universe Fragments, making them deathless within the fragments as long as the universe continued to exist.
• Li Qing guided the Infinite Universe Fragments out through the universe’s barrier and toward a chaotic region resembling the Blue Light Demon Domain.
• Li Qing divided Heavenly Dao Reincarnation’s power between monitoring for the Mysterious Unknown and drawing the region’s chaotic power into the fragments.
• The Lord of Ten Thousand Fates privately resolved to lure out Li Qing’s true body in the Blue Light Demon Domain and seize his infinite mechanism item.
• Li Qing’s Faith Incarnation summoned the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the Root of the Indescribable, then waited for the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils to arrive.
• Yan asked Li Qing why he had called them together.

Li Qing revealed that Mysterious Unknown had sealed the Infinite Universe and that three Dao Propagators would eventually attack from outside, prompting the powerful factions to prepare a coordinated assault. As the universe began to break apart, Li Qing urged them to expand the war and secretly prepare the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and Investiture of Gods.

• Li Qing explained the outer seal, identified Mysterious Unknown's location, and said Dead Silence could send his true body's coordinates to three Dao Propagators preparing an external attack.
• Loathing revealed that the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils had long known about the barrier and aimed to destroy the universe to break through it or draw other powers from primordial chaos.
• Li Qing estimated the combined assault would begin in close to four thousand years, while Lord of Ten Thousand Fates reported that five percent of the universe had been damaged.
• Li Qing asked the factions to expand the battlefield across the universe so they could monitor Mysterious Unknown and bring frontier forces under their control.
• Li Qing privately asked the God Emperor of Fate to support the expansion, explaining that it could expose the hidden incarnations of the Mountain River Earth Emperor and the Abyssal Demon King.
• The factions approved the expansion, and Li Qing proposed establishing the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and secretly preparing for the Investiture of Gods.

Li Qing and the others began a universe-wide war designed to conceal their plan to create Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and use it against the Mysterious Unknown. The Jade Tablet’s revelation of the Unique Universe drew the attention of ancient existences, while the Mysterious Unknown suspected Li Qing had ties to the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils.

• The group agreed to send Children of Destiny into the war and eventually establish Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, which Yan said was an ancient infinite mechanism tied to the Unique Universe.
• Li Qing learned that the Unique Universe was the highest coordinate of the primordial chaos and the origin and destination of infinite mechanisms, but stopped thinking further when he sensed something watching him.
• Ancient existences in the unknown sensed the Root Jade Disc and sent figures into the primordial chaos to stir up trouble.
• Li Qing ordered the group to expand the war normally so the Mysterious Unknown would not discover their plan, and the conflict spread across the entire universe within a century.
• The Mysterious Unknown abandoned his search for the Infinite Universe Fragments, dismissed the Children of Destiny plan as too late, and suspected Li Qing was connected to the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils.

Li Qing found the hidden incarnations of the Mountain River Earth Emperor and the Abyssal Demon King, then arranged a covert strike with the God Emperor of Fate. The two began their simultaneous ambush, starting with the Mountain River Earth Emperor.

• Mysterious Unknown suspected Li Qing was plotting but remained unsure whether Li Qing had found his true-body location.
• Li Qing used his Faith Incarnation and the armies’ shared sensory information to locate both incarnations of the Mountain River Earth Emperor and the Abyssal Demon King.
• Li Qing contacted the God Emperor of Fate and asked him to kill the incarnations silently, targeting the Mountain River Earth Emperor first.
• The God Emperor of Fate explained that the primary incarnations were hidden in sealed spacetimes, while the weaker incarnations were embedded in armies and would be noticed if attacked openly.
• Li Qing sent a Faith Incarnation carrying the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger toward the Mountain River Earth Emperor’s battlefield avatar as the God Emperor of Fate located his primary incarnation.
• Li Qing and the God Emperor of Fate launched their attacks at the same time.
