Chapter Summaries

Black Spirit Daoist used the Dao Art Series to try to breach the Principle Universe, but the All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s three universes intercepted the attack and gave the Principle Universe time to escape. The All-Heavens Divine Emperor then charged toward the damaged Infinite Universe, where a clash between universes began.

• Black Spirit Daoist unleashed the Dao Art Series to create a chance to breach the Principle Universe, and Li Qing calculated that the attack had enough power to succeed.
• As the Principle Universe prepared to use its trump card, the All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s three universes appeared between it and Black Spirit Daoist and absorbed the attack.
• The Principle Universe escaped by using Random Leap, while Black Spirit Daoist lamented the loss of two traces of Infinite mechanisms.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor sensed the final Tribulation, then charged toward the damaged Infinite Universe.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s attack collided with the Infinite Universe and dealt it a devastating blow.

As the All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s three universes invaded the weakened Infinite Universe, the resulting clash prevented both sides from freely using Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to pursue Li Qing. The Six Great Kingdom Lords and their allies chose to wait and assess the outsider’s intentions, while the All-Heavens Divine Emperor entered the battle against Mysterious Unknown and struck at Black Spirit Daoist and the others’ seal.

• The foreign universes’ Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power clashed with the Infinite Universe’s, and Li Qing realized the invasion would also hinder his pursuers.
• Dead Silence explained that the invaders forced the gathered Kingdom Lords and others to choose between hunting Li Qing and resisting the invasion while breaking through Mysterious Unknown.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates urged everyone to wait for the All-Heavens Divine Emperor to reveal his intentions, and the group agreed to focus on only one target at a time.
• As the four universes began merging, the All-Heavens Divine Emperor left an avatar to oversee the invasion and went to the Mysterious Unknown battlefield.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor unleashed his full-strength palm strike at Black Spirit Daoist and the other five third-generation disciples, threatening their seal.

All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s arrival forced the six Unique Universe experts to divert most of their power from suppressing the Mysterious Unknown, while Li Qing continued fleeing in the weakened Principle Universe. As the forty-fourth breath began, the enemy forces prepared another pincer attack, and Li Qing sought a way to survive the final seven breaths.

• All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s descending palm overwhelmed the six experts’ divided power, forcing them to withdraw three-fifths of their strength and weaken their suppression of the Mysterious Unknown.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates and Dead Silence agreed to the withdrawal, while the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the others retained enough power to keep pursuing Li Qing.
• All-Heavens Divine Emperor explained that his fused universes let him use his full strength, while Li Qing’s Divine Body continued jumping through space in the Principle Universe.
• Jade Tablet Restoration realized that the Mysterious Unknown was facing its weakest suppression and might soon break free, as Li Qing raced to evade the pursuing forces.
• At the start of the forty-fourth breath, Li Qing’s Principle Universe descended toward the opposite cosmic barrier as Dead Silence’s group and the Six Great Kingdom Lords prepared a pincer attack against it.
• Li Qing’s Divine Body used the Way of Changes to calculate how the weakened Principle Universe could survive the final seven breaths.

All-Heavens Divine Emperor defied the Unique Universe’s six great sects to save Li Qing, while the Principle Universe faced a renewed assault as it tried to escape into the Primordial Chaos. Dead Silence changed tactics and appeared in its path, leaving Li Qing to calculate how to break through without suffering severe losses.

• Sword Immortal Daoist threatened All-Heavens Divine Emperor, but All-Heavens Divine Emperor refused to withdraw and said the person who sent him was unafraid of the six great sects.
• Heaven-Severing Demoness and Yin-Yang Heavenly Lord considered whether Li Qing was a fortuitous opportunity or connected to a great power, then agreed to capture him as the six coordinated their attacks.
• As the forty-fifth breath began, Li Qing sent the Principle Universe into the Primordial Chaos to escape the expanding spatial concepts and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power.
• Dead Silence broke away from True Nature Daoist and End Daoist, coordinate-jumped ahead of the Principle Universe, and raised a barrier to block its route.
• Li Qing saw through Dead Silence’s ambush and calculated that a direct collision would stop the Principle Universe for half a breath and cause it significant losses.

Li Qing’s Principle Universe escaped the pursuing forces after the God Emperor of Fate and the others self-destructed, then prepared for another descent into the Infinite Universe. As the forty-sixth breath began, Mysterious Unknown used half of his gathered mechanism traces to break free from the Six Great Kingdom Lords’ seal.

• The God Emperor of Fate and the others self-destructed beneath the Principle Universe, blasting open a gap in the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation vortex.
• The Principle Universe used the explosion’s force to slip between the barriers of Dead Silence, True Nature Daoist, and Final End, then vanished into Primordial Chaos.
• Li Qing learned that Earth Source Immortal Venerable had used the All-Heavens Divine Emperor to test the Jade Tablet’s ability to detect hidden information, and he considered speaking with the emperor.
• At the end of the forty-fifth breath, the Principle Universe returned to the Infinite Universe’s boundary as Dead Silence and the other forces began a new interception.
• Mysterious Unknown poured half of his collected Infinite mechanism traces into the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace, whose doubled Dao Refinement fire shattered the Six Great Kingdom Lords’ seal and carried the furnace out.

After Mysterious Unknown broke free, the Six Great Kingdom Lords and the six Unique Universe powerhouses each shifted their plans to exploit the Infinite Universe’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and trap both him and Li Qing. Mysterious Unknown charged toward the universe’s boundary through the pursuing power, while the All-Heavens Divine Emperor watched as his three universes began merging with the Infinite Universe.

• Mysterious Unknown broke free, and the Six Great Kingdom Lords chose to focus their power on Li Qing rather than pursue him.
• Vajra Monk persuaded the six Unique Universe powerhouses to target the Principle Universe, expecting the Infinite Universe’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to intercept Mysterious Unknown.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates and the Root of the Indescribable recognized the strategy and reversed their power to encircle Mysterious Unknown.
• Mysterious Unknown drove toward the universe’s boundary through the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power, using the fire of Dao Refinement at full strength.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor watched as his three universes began merging with the Infinite Universe.

All-Heavens Divine Emperor discovered that Mysterious Unknown was refining the universe with an infinite mechanism item, while Li Qing approached him with an offer to cooperate in preaching the Dao in the Unique Universe. Li Qing extracted information about the Unique Universe and sent its coordinates to the Divine Emperor, who asked how they would cooperate.

• All-Heavens Divine Emperor used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to occupy the six experts of the Unique Universe while analyzing events across the Infinite Universe.
• All-Heavens Divine Emperor realized Mysterious Unknown was refining the universe with an infinite mechanism item and wondered why the six experts had pursued someone in the Principle Universe instead.
• Li Qing's Faith Incarnation appeared before All-Heavens Divine Emperor and proposed that they cooperate to preach the Dao in the Unique Universe.
• All-Heavens Divine Emperor doubted Li Qing could preach the Dao and warned him about the Unique Universe's powerful sects.
• Li Qing used Way of Changes Calculation to glean information about the Unique Universe and sent its coordinates to All-Heavens Divine Emperor.
• All-Heavens Divine Emperor accepted that Li Qing truly knew the coordinates and asked how he wanted to cooperate.

Li Qing deceived the All-Heavens Divine Emperor into agreeing to hinder the six great Unique Universes, while secretly using the exchange to gather information. As Li Qing sent the damaged Principle Universe into Primordial Chaos, the Flame Crown Prince attacked it with Chains of Order, leaving Li Qing to draw on the universe’s fundamental forces to escape.

• Li Qing offered the All-Heavens Divine Emperor a deputy sect master position and asked him to hold back the six great Unique Universes, and the emperor agreed.
• Li Qing’s projection vanished after obtaining information about the Unique Universe, while the All-Heavens Divine Emperor believed they had formed an alliance.
• Li Qing controlled the Principle Universe as six experts approached, then hurled it into Primordial Chaos with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• The Flame Crown Prince sent six Chains of Order after the Principle Universe, and Li Qing’s attempt to seize them with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation failed.
• The Jade Tablet revealed that only Infinite Mechanisms or Dao Law series could destroy Chains of Order, so Li Qing ordered his replicas to draw on the universe’s time, space, matter, soul, and energy.

Li Qing's Divine Body repeatedly spent the Principle Universe's mass to evade the six Unique Universe experts and escape deeper into the Primordial Chaos. Meanwhile, Li Qing's Faith Incarnation held back the All-Heavens Divine Emperor's power as Mysterious Unknown shattered the Infinite Universe's seal and charged toward the boundary.

• Li Qing's Divine Body used the Principle Universe's Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to evade the order chains and escape the six experts' first encirclement.
• The six Unique Universe experts pursued Li Qing, while the All-Heavens Divine Emperor attacked them and the Flame Crown Prince fought him off.
• Li Qing's Divine Body spent another ten percent of the Principle Universe's mass to escape the experts' encirclement and head deeper into the Primordial Chaos.
• More than a dozen figures moved to intercept Li Qing, while a mysterious destructive hurricane swept toward the Infinite Universe.
• Li Qing's Faith Incarnation used the Infinite Universe's Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to stall the All-Heavens Divine Emperor's avatar as Mysterious Unknown approached the cosmic boundary.
• The Six Great Kingdom Lords tried to stop Mysterious Unknown, but he merged the infinite mechanisms in his body into the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace and shattered the universe's seal.

The Root of the Indescribable and the Six Great Kingdom Lords endured the Infinite Universe’s backlash and escaped into Primordial Chaos, where their power grew as their Ways spread beyond the universe. They returned to prepare for Li Qing’s likely return, while the Principle Universe remained under pursuit and close to encirclement.

• Mysterious Unknown broke through the cosmic barrier, and the Root of the Indescribable and the Six Great Kingdom Lords seized the chance to escape the Infinite Universe.
• The seven powerhouses endured the universe’s backlash, severed their connections to it, and entered Primordial Chaos as their Ways spread and their strength increased.
• The Root of the Indescribable realized that spreading his Way across universes could increase his power, but that he still needed to preserve his hold on the Infinite Universe.
• Destiny Kingdom Lord urged the others to abandon the pursuit of Mysterious Unknown and return to contend for Li Qing, who might make a final return to the universe.
• The seven returned and poured their power into the Universal Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, while the six Unique Universe powerhouses closed in on Li Qing’s reduced Principle Universe as the All-Heavens Divine Emperor delayed them.

Li Qing’s Principle Universe escaped several waves of attacks, but its mass fell to one-fifth as the final Great Tribulation drew to its decisive breath. At the universe barrier, the six Unique Universe powerhouses and mysterious outsiders completed the encirclement, while Dead Silence’s group and the Unrecordable Gods and Devils arrived to join the assault.

• Unknown Dao-propagating, Evolution-level powerhouses attacked the Principle Universe as it leaped to new coordinates, and Li Qing’s Divine Body prepared for the battle.
• Li Qing sent the damaged Principle Universe toward the Infinite Universe’s barrier, where the barrier and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power bought it one breath to escape another attack.
• The Principle Universe leaped away using the resonance of two universes, spending more of its mass and leaving only one-fifth of its peak mass.
• Li Qing brought the Principle Universe back to the universe barrier for the final breath, where the Six Great Kingdom Lords’ forces and external powerhouses sealed off its escape routes.
• Dead Silence, True Nature Daoist, and End Daoist abandoned their pursuit of Mysterious Unknown and descended near the Principle Universe, followed by the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils.

Surrounded by enemies and facing the destructive Wind of Primordial Chaos, Li Qing drained the Principle Universe to fuel a desperate eruption of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation. As the forces attacking him pressed in and six terrifying Dao Arts advanced toward his Present Body, the chapter left his survival uncertain.

• Li Qing recognized the Wind of Primordial Chaos and realized it offered a possible escape when it descended.
• As the enemy forces struck from within and without, Li Qing drained the Principle Universe to empower Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing's eruption clashed with the attacking powers, while Dead Silence, the other two, and the five Unrecordable Gods and Devils compressed the remaining universe.
• Black Spirit Daoist, Heaven-Severing Demoness, Flame Crown Prince, Sword Immortal Daoist, Vajra Monk, and Yin-Yang Heavenly Lord unleashed six Dao Arts toward Li Qing's Present Body.
• The six Dao Arts pierced through Li Qing's defenses, and All-Heavens Divine Emperor recognized their terrifying power.

Li Qing used the Infinite Universe’s remaining power and the Primordial Chaos torrent to break the siege and send Civilization Order Logic through the enemy’s defenses. As his Present Body entered the Primordial Chaos, Mysterious Unknown ambushed him with the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace, leaving Li Qing trapped in a deadly strike.

• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor interfered with the six experts of the Unique Universes, helping Li Qing create a gap in their Heavenly Dao Reincarnation blockade.
• Li Qing poured the Principle Universe’s remaining logic and then the Infinite Universe’s total power into his Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power, forcing the attackers’ powers to crack under a pincer attack.
• Civilization Order Logic broke free, and Li Qing’s Present Body manifested within it in the Primordial Chaos.
• Mysterious Unknown appeared and attacked Li Qing with the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace’s fire of Dao Refinement while the other powerful figures were unable to intervene.
• Li Qing’s Way of Changes and Jade Tablet rapidly processed the unexpected attack as Mysterious Unknown’s strike caught him in a certain-kill trap.

Li Qing used the Heart-Destroying Sword to disrupt a balance point in the Primordial Chaos winds and escape capture by plunging himself and his pursuers into the resulting chaos. His Present Body survived as Civilization Order Logic within the torrent, while the All-Heavens Divine Emperor turned his attention to occupying the Infinite Universe.

• Li Qing's Present Body saw a slim chance of escape and struck with the Heart-Destroying Sword, causing Mysterious Unknown to retreat into the Hyperdimensional Dao Furnace.
• Li Qing's sword had targeted a balance point in the Primordial Chaos winds, and its destruction caused the torrent to collapse into infinite randomness.
• The collapsing winds swept Li Qing's Present Body, the six Unique Universe powerhouses, Mysterious Unknown, and the mysterious outsiders away from the Infinite Universe.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates realized Li Qing had escaped their reach, while All-Heavens Divine Emperor prepared to occupy the Infinite Universe.
• Li Qing's Past Body sustained his Present Body, which survived within the strange torrent as Civilization Order Logic, protected by Final Logic.

Li Qing's Present Body endured Primordial Chaos and reached the Unique Universe, while his Past Body negotiated the fate of the Infinite Universe Fragments. The fragments merged with the Infinite Universe, shifting the distribution of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power.

• Li Qing's Present Body used Final Logic and calculations from the Jade Tablet to escape the random torrents and enter the Unique Universe.
• Li Qing's Past Body asked the others whether they wanted to leave the Infinite Universe or remain within it.
• Xuanyuan Changlong and the others decided to merge the Infinite Universe Fragments with the Infinite Universe, and Universe Daoist said the merger could secure them ten percent of its Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power.
• Haoran Sage informed Li Qing's Past Body of their decision, and Li Qing agreed to the merger.
• Universe Daoist gathered the fragments' Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power and resonated with the Infinite Universe, causing the fragments to merge and altering the power's distribution.

Li Qing proposed that the Infinite Universe’s factions suppress the All-Heavens Divine Emperor and negotiate a unified Three Realms to fight the Primordial Chaos. As their universes entered a stalemate, Li Qing’s hidden bodies advanced toward the Evolutionary level, while his Present Body explored the Unique Universe’s Netherworld.

• Li Qing gathered the major factions, explained their combined strength, and proposed suppressing the All-Heavens Divine Emperor before negotiating a new Investiture of Gods and unifying the universe.
• Lord of Ten Thousand Fates and the others agreed to Li Qing’s plan, and the Infinite Universe’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation attacked the All-Heavens Divine Emperor’s fused universe.
• The All-Heavens Divine Emperor merged his All-Heavens Dao with his universe’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to resist the stronger assault, beginning a prolonged stalemate between the two universes.
• Li Qing’s Past Body and Future Body secretly spread Civilization Order Logic through the Primordial Chaos and began transforming toward the Evolutionary level.
• Li Qing’s Present Body found himself in the Unique Universe’s Netherworld, where he reshaped a vicious ghost with Civilization Order Logic and received its memories.

Li Qing’s Present Body investigated a search order for outsiders and confirmed that the Unique Universe had discovered his arrival. He formed a four-step plan to develop the Way of Civilization, then learned that only powers of infinite mechanisms and above could freely extend throughout the Unique Universe and Primordial Chaos.

• Li Qing’s Present Body decided to incorporate immortality into the Way of Civilization and identified directions for three of its nine paths.
• Wu Dangjie became a leader among the Underworld Soldiers in Wrongful Death City and sent Li Qing information about the Unique Universe.
• Li Qing traced an order to find outsiders from Wrongful Death City through the Underworld and Heavenly Court, concluding that the Eastern Emperor of Boundless Heavenly Dao Reincarnation had exposed him.
• Li Qing outlined a four-step plan to perfect the nine systems of the Way of Civilization, investigate future calamities, spread its teachings, and raise it to the level of a Supreme Mechanism.
• Li Qing discovered that seven supreme mechanisms and more than a hundred lesser powers pervaded the Unique Universe, and that powers below infinite mechanisms could only persist there through belief and teachings.
• Li Qing recognized that the Unique Universe’s suppressive order blocked his Civilization Order Logic, estimated that replenishing his strength would take about a year, and decided to lie low.

Li Qing's Present Body used information from Wu Dangjie and the Jade Tablet to map the Unique Universe, its major factions, and its recurring tribulations. He learned how the Infinite Tribulation and Supreme Tribulation worked, leaving him with possible strategies for establishing himself and surviving future trials.

• Wu Dangjie sent Li Qing's Present Body records about the Unique Universe after exploring a Library Pavilion in Wrongful Death City.
• Li Qing's Present Body used the Jade Tablet to restore information about the three realms, the five continents, the major factions, and the seven supreme existences.
• Li Qing's Present Body concluded that Central Divine Continent and the unoccupied overseas immortal islands offered the best prospects for establishing himself.
• Li Qing's Present Body learned that an Infinite Tribulation followed the transmission of a Dao across three thousand universes and could be made less dangerous by facing it at a cycle's end or aligning with a True King or great sect.
• Li Qing's Present Body learned that a Supreme Tribulation descended every fifty cycles and could cause changes in infinite mechanisms that might condense a Dao Fruit.

Li Qing’s Present Body recognized the dangers of the Unique Universe and mapped out nine directions for the Way of Civilization, planning to use the seven Supreme Mechanisms and the Jade Tablet to strengthen his own Dao. He resolved to keep the Jade Tablet’s path separate from his own Way of Changes and ordered Wu Dangjie to gather teachings from the major sects.

• Li Qing’s Present Body considered the Supreme Tribulations and concluded that spreading his Dao through the Central Divine Continent would be essential, with the Overseas Immortal Islands as a base or retreat.
• Li Qing’s Present Body deduced nine directions for the Way of Civilization, including Civilization Order Logic and Civilization Information Essence.
• Li Qing’s Present Body planned to incorporate usable principles from the other Supreme Mechanisms so he could better counter their powers in a future Immeasurable Final Calamity.
• Li Qing’s Present Body chose to use the Jade Tablet to restore Primordial Chaos’s information and aid Way of Changes, while refusing to make the Jade Tablet’s path his own.
• Li Qing’s Present Body contacted Wu Dangjie and ordered him to seek the Dao teachings passed down by the major sects.

Li Qing’s Present Body learned that the Western Great Sect’s Yin Mountain Temple controlled a portion of Underworld reincarnation, while Wu Dangjie’s research in Wrongful Death City remained insufficient to uncover the Principles he needed. Li Qing decided not to expand his influence in the Underworld and sent his Future Body to search the Primordial Chaos for a universe where he could establish Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

• Li Qing’s Present Body hid from a four-armed cultivator of the Western Great Sect and identified him as a disciple of Yin Mountain Temple, which was led by Divine Treasury Buddha.
• Wu Dangjie reported that he had finished reading Wrongful Death City’s books, but Li Qing judged the information too limited to deduce the cultivation Principles he sought.
• Li Qing discovered that his Fate-less status blurred the heavenly secrets around Wu Dangjie’s city and realized that expanding his influence could attract the seven supreme mechanisms.
• Li Qing concluded that Heavenly Dao Reincarnation for civilized beings was the easiest direction of his Way of Civilization to cultivate and assigned that task to his Past Body and Future Body.
• Li Qing’s Future Body left the Infinite Universe and traveled through the Primordial Chaos, spreading Civilization Order Logic while searching for a universe he could occupy.
