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.

• 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.

• 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.

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.

• 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.

Li Qing persuaded the Infinite Mechanism powerhouses to unite against the seven Supreme Mechanisms’ search, but the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power still uncovered his Netherworld and human-world followers. The chapter ended with Li Qing acknowledging his first real failure as the investigation exposed the East Sea islands and millions of lives were exterminated.

• Li Qing urged the thirty-six Infinite Mechanism powerhouses to contact others and conceal their alliance while obstructing the search.

After the Seven Supremes’ search destroyed much of Li Qing’s network and killed millions of his followers, Li Qing survived the sweep but lost a significant portion of his power. The Seven Supremes identified his civilization-based path and ordered a purge of unknown cultivators and civilization-founded universes, beginning a wider upheaval across Primordial Chaos.

• Li Qing assessed his losses, including twenty-six destroyed avatars, foundations on twenty-six city-islands, and roughly forty million followers, leaving his Way of Civilization with an upper limit of 55.8-fold evolution level.

• Daoist Immeasurable and the Bodhi Daoist proposed eliminating unknown-origin cultivators and targeting universes whose rulers’ paths matched their civilizations’ development.
• The Seven Supremes issued their orders, prompting the six great factions to register cultivators and kill those who refused while Heavenly Dao Reincarnation’s search collided with the Network of more than a hundred Infinite Mechanisms.

After the seven Supreme Mechanisms withdrew from their confrontation with more than a hundred Infinite Mechanism powerhouses, Li Qing assessed his losses and planned to retaliate against the six major powers.

The seven Supreme Mechanisms launched coordinated attacks against the territories and forces of the Infinite Mechanism experts, aiming to weaken them before the Supreme Cataclysm. Li Qing recognized the plan and urged the experts to unite under his command, creating an opportunity for Stone Daoist to break through into an Infinite Mechanism.

• The seven Supreme Mechanisms agreed to wage war against the forces under the Infinite Mechanism experts and ordered the six great factions to attack.
• The six great factions besieged the Central Divine Continent’s border kingdoms while Heavenly Court forces attacked sects within the Infinite Mechanism experts’ territories.

• Li Qing told the Infinite Mechanism experts that the Supremes had begun their decisive attack and urged them to let him coordinate their subordinate forces.

Li Qing persuaded the 175 Infinite Mechanism powerhouses that his test had revealed how to resist the Supreme Mechanisms and that he could coordinate their response to the assault on their territories. They agreed to let him direct their forces, and projections of more than ten thousand subordinate powerhouses gathered to receive orders.

• All 175 Infinite Mechanism powerhouses arrived, and Earth Source Immortal Venerable recognized Li Qing and wondered what scheme he was pursuing.
• Li Qing explained that the Infinite Mechanism Network could restrain the Supreme Mechanisms and warned that they could use the Unique Universe to project overwhelming power throughout Primordial Chaos.

• Supreme True Demon asked for Li Qing's plan, and Li Qing proposed gathering their subordinate powerhouses' projections into a command center so he could direct their forces against the six major factions.
• Vacuum Mother accepted Li Qing's proposal, and the 175 powerhouses summoned more than ten thousand Preaching Dao and Evolution-level projections, who divided into groups and awaited orders.

Li Qing used unified information-based command to crush rebellions across the kingdoms and halt the six great powers’ offensive, creating a stalemate.

• Li Qing used the Civilization Information Essence and Jade Tablet to calculate and transmit detailed commands to the Infinite Mechanism experts and their forces.

• Li Qing’s Present Body directed more than one hundred preachers as his Past Body used Civilization Information Essence and the Jade Tablet to assess the battle; the eastern front began suppressing the Primeval Unity Daoist Sect.

The six major factions gathered their forces into Dao formations and attacked the cities of Central Divine Continent, forcing Li Qing to reinforce the national formations with Infinite Mechanism power.

As the war in the Unique Universe stalled, Li Qing sent his Future Body into a powerful universe ruled by the Great Daos of chaos and order. He began a plan to seize control by harnessing its surplus power, starting with the Void Spirit Race.

• Great Vow Daoist said the Supreme Mechanisms had broken the enemy's troop-concentration tactics and led the forces below the Evolution level into a widespread war across the Unique Universe.

Chaos Supreme True Lord and Order Invincible Divine King attacked the vortex, unaware that the Way of Civilization was luring them inside.

Li Qing used the Order Invincible Divine King and the Chaos Supreme True Lord to blunt the attackers’ assault, then escaped with the Hundred Million Races Universe by triggering a Primordial Chaos uncertainty jump.
