Chapter Summaries

Earth Source Immortal Venerable and the other great powers realized Li Qing had secretly accumulated most of the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation authority, so they seized control of the rest and forced the universes to merge in segments. The fusion stabilized and threatened the Seven Supremes, who debated borrowing power from the future despite the risk of exposing themselves to Li Qing.

• Earth Source Immortal Venerable deduced that Li Qing had extracted Heavenly Dao Reincarnation authority from universes he already controlled, and the great powers seized the authority held by their subordinates to interfere with him.
• The Supreme True Demon and the other great powers demanded that the twenty thousand universes merge in segments, and Li Qing agreed after the final ten thousand universes entered the brand-new universe.
• All thirty thousand universes became independent spacetime regions within the brand-new universe, and the great powers began merging fragments while suppressing the conflicts between them.
• As the segmented fusion continued, Li Qing's share of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation authority fell, the great powers' share increased, and the fusion stabilized despite the Supreme Mechanism's interference.
• Daoist Unceasing warned the Seven Supremes that they could not stop the fusion universe from expanding, while Rahu Divine Venerable cautioned that borrowing power from the future again could expose them to Li Qing.

The seven Supremes abandoned their efforts to stop the Primordial Universe’s formation and tried to force Li Qing’s side to divert forces to the Primordial Chaos Boundary. After the Primordial Universe stabilized, Li Qing used its Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to suppress the six major powers in the Unique Universe while replacing their forces at the Boundary.

• Daoist Unceasing proposed that the seven Supremes withdraw their forces from the Primordial Chaos Boundary, forcing Li Qing’s side to choose between defending the Boundary and keeping its advantage in the Unique Universe.
• Li Qing and the leaders at Council Heavenly Palace recognized the withdrawal as an open scheme, and they named the newly forming universe Primordial.
• After seven days and nights, the Primordial Universe stabilized with Li Qing wielding roughly one-third of its Heavenly Dao Reincarnation authority.
• Li Qing ordered the Infinite Mechanism experts to send Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power into the Unique Universe and connect it to the Infinite Kingdoms grand formation.
• The expanded formations broke through the Four Provinces battlefield’s critical point and suppressed the six major powers, who withdrew their forces and Supreme Mechanisms from the Boundary.
• Infinite Mechanism forces and Primordial Universe fighters replaced the withdrawn troops at the Primordial Chaos Boundary as the kingdom formations in the Unique Universe contracted to the thirty-percent critical point.

Li Qing took command of the war and used the Civilization Information Essence to coordinate the Infinite Kingdoms’ forces, accelerating their conquest of the Four Provinces. As the Seven Supremes faced the likely loss of the Four Provinces, Rahu Divine Venerable proposed unifying or merging the universes to unleash the power of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

• Jade Ghost General Li Qing defended Twinfish City against Mysterious Void Divine Venerable, but the Infinite Kingdoms’ army overwhelmed the defenders and destroyed the national formation altar.
• Li Qing evacuated the city’s living beings and resources to a nearby node city, where a new battle began as seventy percent of the Four Provinces had fallen.
• Li Qing took full command of the war, concentrated the Civilization Information Essence’s computing power on the Unique Universe, and predicted a breakthrough across the critical-point frontier within three days.
• Great Vow Daoist warned the Seven Supremes that the Four Provinces would fall completely within fifteen thousand years and that their opponents’ strength would keep increasing.
• Rahu Divine Venerable proposed that unifying or merging the Unique Universe and the new universe could combine Heavenly Dao Reincarnation’s power and potentially spread it across or consume Primordial Chaos.

The seven Supremes secretly spread information about the Land of Ashes to draw the Supreme Heavenly Lord into opening the ancient battlefield. Li Qing redirected the Infinite Kingdoms’ forces to confront the Anti-Primordial Chaos invasion, leaving the seven Supremes with a narrow hope of resistance.

• The seven Supremes secretly spread word that the Land of Ashes might hold the previous eras’ main battlefield and prompt the Supreme Heavenly Lord to act.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord learned of the rumor, sent his intent to Anti-Primordial Chaos, and opened the Land of Ashes to more than a hundred Divine Kingdoms.
• Li Qing’s Past Body discovered that Anti-Li Qing’s incarnations and the passage in the Land of Ashes had been surrounded by Divine Kingdoms.
• Li Qing told the 202 Infinite Mechanism mighty figures to divide their forces among the Five Continents, the Primordial Chaos border, and the Land of Ashes, delaying their final conquest until the eve of the Supreme Cataclysm.
• The Infinite Kingdoms’ forces fought the Anti-Primordial Chaos Divine Kingdoms in the Hazy Domain, while Great Vow Daoist concluded that Li Qing had deliberately left the seven Supremes a thread of hope.

The seven Supreme beings understood that the Infinite Kingdoms needed to seize the Five Continents before the Infinite Mechanism contracted, and each prepared a hidden path of retreat. As the Infinite Kingdoms gained the upper hand in the Unique Universe, Li Qing struck again and killed the True Martial Divine Lord, devouring his Great Dao and Infinite Mechanism traces.

• Great Vow Daoist explained that holding part of the Four Provinces would let the Supreme beings counterattack after the Infinite Mechanism contracted, and the seven Supreme beings agreed to contest the Infinite Kingdoms.
• Great Vow Daoist transformed a True God into Anti-Great Vow Daoist, then began secretly preparing a retreat in Anti-Primordial Chaos as the other Supreme beings created their own opposites.
• Li Qing’s forces continued to gain ground in the border cities, while his six avatars rescued allies and built connections for the future attempt to breach the Infinite Mechanism.
• Li Qing combined a fate projection of his Past Body with the Dao-Extinguishing Sword, raising the projection’s power to 1,750 times the Evolution Level.
• Li Qing’s fate projection arrived at Northern Wasteland City, concealed the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s hidden pawns with a false fate, and struck the True Martial Divine Lord from behind.
• The Dao-Extinguishing Sword devoured the True Martial Divine Lord’s Great Dao and Infinite Mechanism traces.

Li Qing discovered that the Supreme Heavenly Lord tracked Great Daos through marked sources, while the Jade Tablet blocked his lock-on. He tested whether the Lord could pursue targets into the Land of Ashes, killed the Black Lamp True God there, and saw golden light arrive at the scene.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord shattered the Fate Wheel's and Dao-Extinguishing Sword's Infinite Mechanisms, but Li Qing's power escaped into the Infinite Kingdoms, where the Lord did not follow.
• Li Qing's Past Body used the Jade Tablet to learn that the Supreme Heavenly Lord's Forward Supreme Mechanism marked Great Daos and detected their owners' deaths.
• Li Qing reasoned that the Land of Ashes might prevent the Supreme Heavenly Lord from descending, then prepared an attack at its boundary.
• Li Qing asked the White Lotus Sage Lord to drive the Black Lamp True God into the Land of Ashes, where Li Qing's hidden fate projection killed him with the Dao-Extinguishing Sword.
• A streak of golden light tore through space and time and arrived where the Black Lamp True God had died.

Li Qing found that the Supreme Heavenly Lord had locked onto every being who could become a resource, leaving him no way to escape. He turned to the Chaos Pearl, using energy from his Civilization Universe to strengthen its Superposition State waves, and began testing whether they could withstand the Flesh Egg's power.

• The Supreme Heavenly Lord killed Li Qing's Destiny Projection Body, absorbed the Black Lamp True God's remaining power, and declared that he had tracked every potential resource.
• Li Qing's Past Body calculated that no ordinary escape was possible and identified the Chaos Pearl's Superposition State waves as a possible defense for the Dao-Extinguishing Sword.
• Li Qing's Future Body continued harvesting the Flesh Egg, raising the Chaos Pearl's power to eight hundred times the evolution level over sixty thousand years.
• Li Qing sent surplus energy from the Civilization Universe's Heavenly Dao Reincarnation into the Chaos Pearl, boosting its power enough to contend with the Flesh Egg for three breaths before its waves destabilized.
• After the Flesh Egg's power subsided, Li Qing's Future Body struck it with the strengthened Chaos Pearl and used surprise to evade its fierce counterattack.

Li Qing's Future Body began a ten-thousand-year effort to harvest enough flesh to challenge the Ultimate Mechanism, while his Present Body saw no way to change the worsening war in the Unique Universe. The seven supreme beings devised a secret plan to create more Infinite Mechanism powerhouses and agreed to investigate the people on their list for signs of Li Qing's influence.

• Li Qing's Future Body refined flesh taken from the egg of flesh and blood, raising the Chaos Pearl's power to 401 times evolution-grade, and calculated that he needed at least 2,599 more harvests.
• Li Qing's Present Body assessed the stalled wars and judged that the Four Provinces would be occupied within twenty thousand years, leaving him with no immediate way to break the deadlock.
• Great Vow Daoist asked the other six supreme beings for a way to reverse their worsening position in the Unique Universe war.
• Daoist Immeasurable proposed secretly helping seven peak Dao-transmitting powerhouses trigger the Infinite Tribulation while hiding their breakthroughs and fluctuations.
• Daoist Unceasing proposed faking the seven candidates' deaths and rebirths inside an isolated space so their power and information would be concealed from Li Qing and the enemy.
• Great Vow Daoist urged the supreme beings to examine the hundred candidates' pasts, futures, innermost secrets, and Great Daos for traces of the Way of Civilization before selecting who would attempt the breakthrough.

The seven Supremes arranged a trial using Dream Infinity to test three hundred candidates’ strength and investigate whether Li Qing had planted an incarnation among them. Li Qing prepared six hidden incarnations for the test, and the candidates entered the dream realm, unaware that they had already lost consciousness.

• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor proposed using Dream Without Trace to inspect the candidates and expose anyone with hidden motives.
• Great Vow Daoist announced the trial to the Infinite Mechanism powers, and they agreed to send three hundred candidates into Dream Infinity.
• Li Qing’s Past Body perfected the six incarnations’ memories and identities, removing any traces that could reveal their connection to Li Qing.
• One month later, the candidates and the assembled Supremes and experts gathered at Twin Origin Mountain as Dream Infinity formed over its summit.
• The three hundred candidates entered the Mist, and an invisible force pulled their spiritual wills into dreams without their noticing.

The Seven Supremes and other great powers used Dream Infinity to inspect three hundred battlefield achievers and test them through battles against resurrected remnants of dead Infinite Mechanism experts. Watching from a mysterious teahouse, the Supreme Heavenly Lord learned the assessment was preparing candidates for an assault on Infinite Mechanism and began considering how to thwart it.

• The Seven Supremes opened the three hundred dream bubbles and examined the candidates’ memories, thoughts, and Daos, finding no obvious problems.
• Tianyuan Daoist announced a formal assessment through battle, and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor altered the dreams to make opponents appear.
• Daoist Purple Gold, Li Qing, met the Three Caverns True Lord of Immeasurable True Fire and began a fierce clash of fists, palms, and Daos.
• The Seven Supremes and other great powers observed the battles, using the returning remnants of dead Infinite Mechanism experts to seek flaws in the candidates’ Daos.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord learned that the three hundred candidates were being prepared for an assault on Infinite Mechanism and resolved to disrupt the plans if necessary.

After ten thousand years of stalemated battles, the testing of the three hundred experts ended, and the top hundred were set to challenge the Infinite Mechanism in fifteen days. Li Qing prepared for the coming tribulation by sending a projection infused with the Chaos Pearl’s power toward the Land of Ashes to test it against a completed True God.

• The six incarnations fought evenly within the dream bubbles while Li Qing watched the war in the Unique Universe worsen over ten thousand years.
• Great Vow Daoist ended the trials, judging the experts free of abnormal influence and announcing that the top hundred would challenge the Infinite Mechanism in fifteen days.
• The dream battles stopped, and Three Caverns True Lord and Daoist Purple Gold Li Qing parted after their ten-thousand-year duel ended without a winner.
• Li Qing’s Future Body warned that the Supreme Heavenly Lord might interfere with the coming tribulation and prepared to draw his attention away from the incarnations.
• Li Qing infused a fate projection with the Chaos Pearl’s three-thousandfold evolution-grade power and sent it to the Land of Ashes to test it against a completed True God.

Li Qing’s fate projection killed the Reverse Mystery True God and drew the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s avatar into a clash that revealed the Superposition State could withstand Supreme Mechanism power. Li Qing escaped through the Fate Wheel’s Network while the Supreme Heavenly Lord pursued him, leaving the essences of Principles to spread back into the Unique Universe.

• Li Qing’s fate projection attacked the Reverse Mystery True God with the Chaos Pearl’s projection, reducing him and his Dao to their most basic units and absorbing their essences of Principles.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s avatar struck at Li Qing, but the Chaos Pearl’s Superposition State power blocked the attack.
• The collision stunned the powerhouses across the Unique Universe when they saw the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s power halted by the Superposition State.
• Li Qing’s projection and the Chaos Pearl’s projection vanished into the Fate Wheel’s Infinite Mechanism Network and fled beyond the Unique Universe.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord pursued them using the true power of the Ultimate Mechanism while Li Qing’s essences of Principles dispersed through the Network and flowed back into the Unique Universe.

While the Supreme Heavenly Lord pursued the Chaos Pearl, Li Qing used the opening to kill Moruo True God and harvest resources, then completed the Dao-Extinguishing Sword. The Divine Kingdom forces formed defenses that ended his chance to hunt more True Gods, so Li Qing turned his attention to restoring the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase.

• Li Qing fed Dao Principle Essence from the Fate Compass into the Dao-Extinguishing Sword, restoring its Heaven-Severing, Earth-Isolating Lifeless Mechanism to eighty percent completion.
• Li Qing’s projection entered the Hazy Domain and killed Moruo True God with a sword strike, then escaped before Light Source Heavenly Lord could stop him.
• Light Source Heavenly Lord ordered the True Gods to retreat and the Divine Kingdoms to form a defensive formation while the Heavenly Lords waited for the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s return.
• Li Qing fully restored the Dao-Extinguishing Sword and gained control of it, giving him three Infinite Mechanism treasures when counted with the Chaos Pearl.
• Li Qing planned to restore the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase, but saw that the Divine Kingdom formations prevented him from hunting more True Gods.

Li Qing waited for a chance to attack True Martial Divine Lord while the Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation pursued Li Qing's Future Body and warned the powers to prepare for him. Two hidden Reverse Supreme Mechanism experts emerged in the Boundless Void Region, and Li Qing tracked their movements as they split up to gather allies and information.

• Li Qing's Present Body reached Prosperous Splendor City and waited for an opening to eliminate True Martial Divine Lord, but the national formation's defenses reduced his odds of success.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation pursued Li Qing's Future Body and realized Li Qing might hunt another perfected Dao Transmission powerhouse to repair his incomplete Infinite Mechanism items.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord's incarnation alerted the powers, prompting the seven supreme beings and Infinite Mechanisms to lock onto every perfected Dao Transmission powerhouse in the national formations.
• Li Qing's Present Body chose to remain hidden and wait, even if he had to hold out until the Infinite Mechanism was struck fifteen days later.
• The Silver Immortal King and Gray Mist Immortal King emerged from the Boundless Void Region and divided their tasks, with her heading toward the Void Black Hole and him toward the Unique Universe.
• Li Qing's Projection Motes detected the two Immortal Kings, and his Future Body began calculating their plans.

Li Qing contacted the Gray Mist Immortal King and offered to share information about an opportunity to kill the Seven Supremes in exchange for help with an unspecified task. He then prepared for the coming struggle over the Infinite Mechanism while continuing to watch the True Martial Divine Lord’s battlefield.

• Li Qing used the Fate Wheel to project himself before the Gray Mist Immortal King and explained the danger posed by the approaching Supreme Cataclysm and Immeasurable Final Calamity.
• Li Qing offered to reveal when and where the Seven Supremes would lose their protection if the Gray Mist Immortal King and the other four beings agreed to do something for him.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King said he would consult the others and verify Li Qing’s claims in the Unique Universe, then searched unsuccessfully for the means Li Qing had used to locate him.
• Li Qing calculated that the five beings fused with Supreme Mechanisms could disrupt the bid for the Infinite Mechanism and trigger a full-scale Anti-Primordial Chaos invasion.
• Li Qing decided he needed two more Dao-transmission consummate powerhouses to repair the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase and prepare for the coming conflict.
• Li Qing’s Present Body watched the True Martial Divine Lord’s battlefield while hiding his projection and waiting for a chance to strike.

Li Qing assassinated the True Martial Divine Lord and absorbed his power, while the Supreme Heavenly Lord decided to launch a full-scale invasion to force the warring factions to unite against an outside enemy. The chapter ended with the Sacred Domain mobilizing for war in Forward Primordial Chaos.

• The Infinite Kingdoms destroyed the city’s national formation, and the True Martial Divine Lord fled with its defenders toward another city node.
• Li Qing killed the True Martial Divine Lord with the Dao-Extinguishing Sword, then escaped through the Infinite Mechanism network before his pursuers could stop him.
• Li Qing’s Future Body used the harvested essence to restore the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase to eighty-five percent and considered strengthening the mechanisms inside the Chaos Treasure Pearl.
• Li Qing’s Present Body set out to hunt another target, while the Supreme Heavenly Lord learned that Li Qing had killed two more perfected Dao-propagating experts.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord ordered the Sacred Domain’s Heavenly Sovereigns to begin a full-scale offensive into Forward Primordial Chaos.

The Anti-Primordial Chaos launched a full-scale invasion, forcing the warring factions of the Unique Universe to declare a ceasefire and send their strongest fighters to the Land of Ashes. The Seven Supremes agreed to leave the Unique Universe battlefield to lower-level cultivators while planning to prevent Li Qing from advancing his power and to conceal the deaths of seven chosen fighters.

• The Anti-Primordial Chaos forces broke through the Primordial Chaos boundary and the Hazy Domain, prompting the Unique Universe to issue a warning.
• Li Qing learned that the Infinite Kingdoms had ordered a ceasefire, and he recognized that the invasion had disrupted his plans.
• Daoist Boundless called for the factions to unite against the invasion, while Tianyuan Daoist proposed sending all experts above the surface logic layer to the Land of Ashes.
• Great Vow Daoist and Nirvana Buddha Lord concluded that the Supreme Heavenly Lord had launched the invasion to draw Dao-transmitting powerhouses away and stop Li Qing from gathering the resources to advance.
• The Seven Supremes agreed to block Li Qing's progress and let lower-level cultivators fight in the Unique Universe, while making the deaths of seven chosen fighters appear natural.
• The Infinite Kingdoms and six great factions mobilized their powerhouses above surface logic and sent them to both Land of Ashes battlefields.

As the seven Supremes and the Infinite Mechanism mighty ones fought across the Land of Ashes, Li Qing abandoned his plan to gather resources and took command of the armies in the Unique Universe. His precise control gave the Infinite Kingdoms an advantage, prompting the seven supreme beings to counter with their own deductions as the slaughter intensified.

• The seven Supremes and the Infinite Mechanism mighty ones sealed off the Land of Ashes and clashed with the Supreme Heavenly Lord's power and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• Li Qing concluded that he could not collect the Infinite Mechanism imprints needed to repair the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase until his six incarnations broke through the Infinite Mechanism.
• Li Qing took command of the Unique Universe's armies, using Civilization Information Essence and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to direct the Infinite Kingdoms with extreme precision.
• The Infinite Kingdoms exposed the six great powers' weaknesses and drove their armies back, drawing the attention of the seven supreme beings.
• The seven supreme beings began directing the six great powers' armies, setting off a contest of deduction against Li Qing as the fighting grew more brutal.

Li Qing and the other powers prepared to launch breakthroughs to the Infinite Mechanism as the Anti-Primordial Chaos invasion intensified. Meanwhile, the Seven Supremes secretly set up a backup plan in the Land of Ashes, beyond Li Qing’s notice.

• Li Qing warned the Supremes and Infinite Mechanism powers that the invasion would overwhelm them once the Supreme Cataclysm began, and Great Vow Daoist agreed to resume the breakthrough plan in two days.
• Dream Without Trace’s selected cultivators gathered at protected sites in the Unique Universe and Primordial Universe, with more than a hundred reserves ready to replace anyone who died during the breakthroughs.
• Li Qing watched the preparations and considered how to protect his Way of Civilization’s chance to break through.
• Great Vow Daoist and the other Supremes secretly used naturally dispersed auras to create lifeless projections of seven backup cultivators, evading Li Qing’s detection.
• The Seven Supremes concentrated their power in the Land of Ashes and sent their chosen targets to attack Divine Kingdoms and Sacred Domains, turning the area into an information blind spot for Li Qing.

The Gray Mist Immortal King investigated Li Qing’s power and judged him a valuable potential ally, then joined the other four Supreme Mechanism-fused Immortal Kings to discuss the dangers facing them. The kings debated cooperating with Li Qing, but the Silver Immortal King warned that his history made him a perilous partner.

• The seven Supremes realized Li Qing’s Root Jade Disc could not penetrate their isolated space, while Li Qing noticed an information black hole around the Land of Ashes and increased his surveillance.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King secretly entered the Unique Universe with an avatar and verified Li Qing’s abilities, concluding that his power and plans made him worthy of friendship.
• After the Silver Immortal King reported finding the other three Supreme Mechanism-fused experts, the Gray Mist Immortal King used their communication pearl to gather all five.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King shared information about the current era, and the Immortal Kings recognized Li Qing’s strength and the threat posed by the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the coming calamities.
• The Black-Pupil Immortal King urged them to cooperate with Li Qing to gather information, but the Silver Immortal King warned that Li Qing had ruined many former allies.
