• The being showed Li Qing the past: Forward Primordial Chaos once ruled the universe, while Anti-Primordial Chaos’s lifeforms were confined to its depths amid endless wars between powerful factions.

Li Qing learned how the Avenger was formed when the three Ultimate Mechanisms fused to imprison the Immortal Intelligence Spirit, and he proposed working together to lure and suppress the Mysterious Immortal. The Avenger agreed that controlling the Eternal Deadlands was essential, and recognized the True Script in Li Qing’s Void Force-Borrowing Grand Network.

• Li Qing offered to help the Avenger control the deadlands with the Void Force-Borrowing Grand Network, and the Avenger recognized its symbols as the True Script.

Li Qing’s immortal incarnation helped the Avenger secretly control most of the Eternal Deadlands and proposed a plan to use its power against the Supreme Heavenly Lord and the Mysterious Immortal.

• At the Council Heavenly Palace, Li Qing’s Present Body projection announced that he had a new plan to suppress the Mysterious Immortal with absolute certainty.

Li Qing kept his method for dealing with the Mysterious Immortal secret while moving on to investigate another deadland. The other powerful figures speculated that the Infinite Dead Abyss might hold a passage beyond Primordial Chaos, but Li Qing stopped their costly attempt to probe it.

• Li Qing told the powerful figures he had a way to deal with the Mysterious Immortal and demanded their cooperation when his plan began, while keeping the details secret.
• Li Qing's Immortal incarnation chose Chaotic Spacetime as the next deadland to investigate and use as bait for the Mysterious Immortal.

• The powerful figures sent ten percent of their redundant power into the Infinite Dead Abyss, where the deathly force rapidly eroded it.
• Li Qing warned them that the Infinite Dead Abyss was too dangerous to explore and urged them to preserve their accumulated power, so they withdrew their probe.

The Mysterious Immortal released the Innate Calamity-Fortune Demonic Desire Source Stream into a city, where it infected resentful cultivators and transformed them into devouring black smoke. Li Qing and the powerful figures of the Heavenly Realm discovered the spreading calamity, but its ability to merge with Tribulation left them uncertain how to stop it.

• The Mysterious Immortal created the black smoke seed and released it into a remote city on the Ultimate Universe Continent.
• Wang Baicao's resentment attracted the smoke, transforming him into a creature that could consume cultivators and grow stronger.
• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Network destroyed Wang Baicao's manifested smoke, but another wisp escaped by merging into Tribulation.
• Li Qing showed the Council Heavenly Palace the black smoke's rapid spread and explained that Heavenly Dao Reincarnation could only suppress it temporarily.
• The Sacred Dao Immortal King sensed that the smoke resembled Tribulation, and Li Qing suspected it came from the being he had drawn from beyond Primordial Chaos.
• Li Qing urged the powerful figures to suppress the unknown calamity before it destabilized Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.

Li Qing analyzed the black smoke and confirmed it came from a system beyond Primordial Chaos, then devised an Alert Talisman to detect those it contaminated. The Ultimate Universe began spreading the talisman, while the Mysterious Immortal continued using the smoke to obstruct its expansion.

• Li Qing and Great Vow Daoist coordinated the destruction of black smoke as the Mysterious Immortal spread more of it across the Ultimate Universe to tie down its defenders.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord's avatar captured a black-smoke-contaminated cultivator and discovered that the smoke contained a system different from the universe's own.
• Li Qing studied the smoke's true text and found that its system naturally opposed the purple qi radiance system, confirming it came from beyond Primordial Chaos.
• Li Qing's Civilization Information Essence deduced an Alert Talisman that could detect lifeforms contaminated by black smoke.
• Li Qing shared the talisman's information with the powerful figures, and cultivators across the Ultimate Universe began condensing it and posting talisman papers throughout cities.

The Ultimate Universe curbed the black-smoke infected with warning talismans, but the Mysterious Immortal shifted his attacks to the wilderness, keeping the threat alive. After the Council Heavenly Palace suspected outsiders were trying to provoke the Supreme Cataclysm and harvest its power, it sent the Supreme Heavenly Lord information, leaving him to weigh whether to investigate the Mysterious Immortal.

• The Mysterious Immortal spread black smoke into the wilderness after warning talismans and divine-seat deities suppressed its infected in cities.
• Li Qing and the Council Heavenly Palace considered why outsiders wanted the Supreme Cataclysm to erupt and suspected they sought power born from the clash of the Positive and Reverse Ultimate Mechanisms.
• Li Qing proposed sending information to the Supreme Heavenly Lord and waiting to see whether he would recognize the danger and become an ally.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord received the information, judged the Mysterious Immortal a potential crisis, and decided to wait before acting.
• The war between Primordial Chaos and Anti-Primordial Chaos settled into an eerie balance as black smoke from dead infected merged into the Calamity and spread through both realms.

Li Qing entered Chaotic Spacetime and devised a plan to lure the Mysterious Immortal into an ambush, persuading the Ultimate Universe’s factions to support it. The factions agreed, and Li Qing sent a message to Supreme Heavenly Lord to enlist his help.

• Li Qing’s immortal incarnation entered Chaotic Spacetime, using Superposition State power to withstand its shifting spacetime zones.
• Li Qing realized he could spread Purple Qi Radiance beyond Chaotic Spacetime and use the collision of incompatible powers to attract the Mysterious Immortal.
• Li Qing proposed an ambush using a dead zone, Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power, and the Void Force-Borrowing Grand Network to trap the Mysterious Immortal’s incarnation.
• Gray Mist Immortal King, Nirvana Buddha Lord, Sacred Dao Immortal King, the Seven Supremes, and the other factions agreed to the plan.
• Li Qing’s projection appeared at the border of Primordial Chaos and Anti-Primordial Chaos and sent a message that Supreme Heavenly Lord received.

Li Qing persuaded the Supreme Heavenly Lord to join the plan to hunt the Mysterious Immortal, then built a spacetime trap designed to draw him in. As the trap settled over the next million years, the Ultimate Universe continued to gain powerful allies.

• Li Qing showed the Supreme Heavenly Lord his plan to hunt the Mysterious Immortal's incarnation, and the Supreme Heavenly Lord agreed to take part.
• Li Qing told the powerful figures at the Council Heavenly Palace that the Supreme Heavenly Lord had agreed and asked them to wait while he finished preparing.
• Li Qing used six Infinite Mechanisms to compress a small special spacetime and construct the Infinite Spacetime Cycle Grand Formation as a trap.
• Li Qing placed incarnations of violet radiance and black smoke within the formation, then disguised it with a faint imitation of the True Realm's four-colored halo.
• Li Qing removed the golden and crimson radiances from the trap so it would not reveal that he had reached the outside world.
• During the next million years, the Ultimate Universe gained forty Infinite Mechanism powerhouses, while fourteen Heavenly Sovereigns pledged allegiance and nine Heavenly Sovereigns betrayed the Supreme Heavenly Lord.

Li Qing prepared a trap in Chaotic Spacetime to lure Mysterious Immortal into range of the Ultimate Universe’s forces. Mysterious Immortal entered and reached the trap, where he began trying to stop it from escaping Chaotic Spacetime.

• Li Qing told the gathered powerhouses to prepare an encirclement, combining Redundant Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, the Void Force-Borrowing Grand Network, and his Superposition State power.
• Li Qing’s incarnations concealed the trap and used the collision of two source-stream powers to create a disturbance that only Mysterious Immortal could sense.
• Mysterious Immortal detected the collision, approached Chaotic Spacetime, and entered despite the danger of the Dead Zone.
• Li Qing detected Mysterious Immortal’s presence and moved the trap toward the boundary, triggering another collision to draw him in.
• Mysterious Immortal reached the purple-and-black trap spacetime and summoned a giant hand to seize it before it could break free.

The Mysterious Immortal triggered the trap in Chaotic Spacetime, where Li Qing’s forces tried to seal him with the Ultimate Universe’s Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power. As the Mysterious Immortal unleashed a devastating sword art, Li Qing’s First Superposition Fusion Incarnation broke out of the Boundless Void Region and faced the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnations.

• The Ultimate Universe’s powerhouses and Great Vow Daoist formed a Heavenly Dao Reincarnation barrier around the Mysterious Immortal as his power triggered the accumulated spacetime trap.
• The Supreme Heavenly Lord’s incarnation joined the seal, and the Mysterious Immortal unleashed the True Spirit Swordbreaking Art, severely damaging the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Network.
• Li Qing’s First Superposition Fusion Incarnation broke through the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s barrier and escaped the Boundless Void Region.
• The First Superposition Fusion Incarnation struck back against the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s Reverse Ultimate Mechanism and sent him flying.
• Six Supreme Heavenly Lord incarnations arrived from the Chaotic Dojo and surrounded Li Qing’s First Superposition Fusion Incarnation.

Li Qing’s incarnations disrupted the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s attempt to capture the Mysterious Immortal, while the Mysterious Immortal escaped the combined siege using the Immortal Spirit Grand Art. Back in the Ultimate Universe, the powerful figures demanded that Li Qing reveal what he knew about the Mysterious Immortal’s power, but he refused, and the group began discussing the situation.

• Li Qing’s No. 2 incarnation struck the Supreme Heavenly Lord’s encirclement, allowing his No. 1 incarnation to escape and join forces with him before they withdrew through the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Network.
• The Mysterious Immortal tore through the suppression with the Immortal Spirit Grand Art and vanished into Primordial Chaos, concluding that Li Qing had plotted against him and that the attackers sought his cultivation methods.
• The Gray Mist Immortal King and Li Qing’s Present Body discussed the Mysterious Immortal’s unfamiliar, higher-level power, which Li Qing suspected had destroyed the Primordial Chaos Universe.
• The Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Emperor demanded that Li Qing explain the power he had used to lure the attackers, but Li Qing refused to share how he had mastered it.
• In the Heavenly Realm’s mysterious spacetime, the Gray Mist Immortal King began addressing the gathered powerful figures about the situation.

Li Qing used the Civilization Universe as bait to draw the two Heavenly Lords hidden in the Chaotic Vortex into a vast trap. After more than ten thousand years of searching, his plan finally produced a response.

• Li Qing sent his Superposition State incarnations and Anti-Li Qing into the Chaotic Vortex to search for hidden enemies.
• Li Qing’s search found no trace of the two Heavenly Lords, so he sent the Civilization Universe into the vortex as bait and surrounded it with a network of projection avatars.
• A hundred years later, Ghost Soul Heavenly Lord and Heavenly Lord Bai Luo sensed the strange fluctuation from the enormous object.

Li Qing tracked the incarnations of Heavenly Lord Bai Luo and Ghost Soul Heavenly Lord while Aguda discovered the Civilization Universe and suspected it was bait. Li Qing’s forces closed in on the two Heavenly Lords, but they detected the ambush and tried to flee.

• Heavenly Lord Bai Luo and Ghost Soul Heavenly Lord sent incarnations to investigate the disturbance, allowing Li Qing to follow their trail toward their true bodies.
• Aguda noticed the Civilization Universe, concluded Li Qing might be targeting his incomplete fusion with the Supreme Mechanism, and withdrew his incarnation.
• Li Qing detected Aguda, and his Number Two Superposition State fused incarnation traced him to the black pyramid guarding a passage to Anti-Primordial Chaos.
• Li Qing’s Number One Superposition State incarnation and Anti-Li Qing approached the two Heavenly Lords from behind and in front, forming an encirclement.
• A ripple swept over the concealed attackers, revealing their presence, and Heavenly Lord Bai Luo shouted for them to run.

Li Qing and Anti-Li Qing killed Heavenly Lord Bai Luo and the Ghost Soul Heavenly Lord, suppressing their self-destruction and recovering their Anti-Dao Fruits. As Ultimate Universe experts began searching the Chaotic Vortex Hollow, Li Qing hid the restored fruits and returned to its depths.

• Heavenly Lord Bai Luo and the Ghost Soul Heavenly Lord tried to break Li Qing's Superposition State seal, but their attack failed and their powers were overwhelmed.
• The two Heavenly Sovereigns self-destructed, but Li Qing suppressed the blast and seized fragments of their Anti-Infinite Mechanisms.
• Anti-Li Qing left the hollow to search for the passage connecting it to Anti-Primordial Chaos while Li Qing stayed at the entrance.
• Li Qing restored the fragments into two Anti-Dao Fruits by using the sealed Anti-Primordial Chaos power.
• As Ultimate Universe avatars approached, Li Qing concealed the Anti-Dao Fruits in the spacetime vortices and vanished into the hollow.

The Ultimate Universe’s powerful figures sealed the Chaotic Vortex to trap Li Qing, while his incarnations watched their moves and searched for a hidden route through the Anti-Primordial Chaos. Li Qing then approached Earth Source Immortal Venerable with two Anti-Dao Fruits, offering him the chance to take the path of fusion.

• Great Vow Daoist persuaded the Ultimate Universe’s powerful figures to reinforce a seal around the Chaotic Vortex, hoping to hold Li Qing in place long enough for others to attack.
• Li Qing’s Number One Superposition State incarnation entered the Civilization Universe, destroyed the report-bearing incarnations of Heavenly Lord Bai Luo and Ghost Soul Heavenly Lord, and kept the incomplete fusion Supreme Mechanism incarnations under surveillance.
• Anti-Li Qing and Li Qing’s Past Body deduced that the Chaotic Vortex passage might connect to the Final Calamity Hollow, and Anti-Li Qing traveled there to search for it.
• Li Qing’s Present Body concluded that two Anti-Dao Fruits of Heavenly Sovereigns could help form the foundation of the Forward Supreme Mechanism.
• Li Qing’s projection visited Earth Source Immortal Venerable and asked whether he wanted to take the path of fusion, and Earth Source Immortal Venerable agreed.

Li Qing traded for a Forward Dao Fruit and an Infinite Mechanism item, then fused them with his existing powers to perfect a Dao Fruit capable of drawing down the Supreme Calamity. He devised the Tribulation-Transfer Yin-Yang Talisman and left a Superposition State incarnation to relay calamities while shielding the incarnations that would receive them.

• Li Qing traded two Anti-Dao Fruits to the Earth Source Immortal Venerable for a Forward Dao Fruit and golden scissors carrying an Infinite Mechanism.
• Li Qing fused the traded items and his other Dao Fruits, balancing eight Principles into a single Dao Fruit that brought Stone Daoist Li Qing close to the Supreme Mechanism.
• Li Qing's Dao Fruit returned to his Future Body, which added the Yin-Yang Treasure Vase and its nine Principles to the fusion.
• After a hundred thousand years, Stone Daoist Li Qing perfected the nine-Principle Dao Fruit and sensed the Supreme Calamity.
• Li Qing studied and reconstructed calamity-transfer techniques, then created the Tribulation-Transfer Yin-Yang Talisman with child yang and mother yin talismans.
• Li Qing established a Superposition State incarnation as a relay to distribute borrowed calamities while hiding the two incarnations that would receive them.

Li Qing offered the nine Heavenly Sovereigns talismans that transferred part of their Supreme Calamities, securing their cooperation in his plan to reach the Supreme Mechanism. Meanwhile, his Past Body sent Stone Daoist Li Qing to approach the Fusion Supreme Mechanism’s stronghold, where Aguda had already noticed him.

• Li Qing presented the nine Heavenly Sovereigns with Tribulation-Transfer Yin-Yang Talismans and explained that they could transfer one-fifth of their calamities to others.
• Nine Nether Heavenly Lord recognized that Li Qing intended to use their power to break through the Infinite Mechanism’s baptism, and the nine Heavenly Sovereigns accepted his proposal.
• The nine Heavenly Sovereigns agreed to keep the alliance secret and to help Li Qing until they had crossed their own tribulations.
• Li Qing’s Past Body decided to use Stone Daoist Li Qing to expose the hidden passage to the Chaotic Vortex Hollow because the Superposition State incarnations could not reveal themselves.
• Stone Daoist Li Qing approached the Fusion Supreme Mechanism’s stronghold while concealing his true power behind the Supreme Sacred Traceless Wheel Mechanism.
• Aguda detected Stone Daoist Li Qing from within the pyramid as Li Qing sent a golden-light projection toward it.
