The four Immortal Realm cultivators pressed their assault on the Ten Halls Wheel-Turning Grand Formation while the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven used the Ghost Path’s Essence Stones to hold it together. As the battle devastated the world, other factions watched and studied the combat, and the Immortal Realm cultivators prepared a trap using the Nine Provinces Four Regions’ source.

• The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven poured a trillion Essence Stones into the Ten Halls Wheel-Turning Grand Formation, reinforcing it against the four Immortal Realm cultivators.
• The Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord urged the others to wait for a higher-dimensional being to descend so they could kill it and seize its essence.

The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven summoned the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord and tried to hold off four Immortal Realm experts long enough for the Devil Lord to descend. As Hell Mountain’s formation neared collapse, Li Qing sensed a disturbance beyond the Seal of Heaven and began writing in his Record Book.

Li Qing learned that the Earth Realm’s ruler had sent a projection to the northern battlefield, where four Immortals were fighting it while the Ten Halls Wheel-Turning Grand Formation neared collapse. In the Dark Side spacetime, Sun Tzu deflected Void’s attack on a passage to the main world, then vanished amid the shockwave.

• Li Qing read that the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven had summoned the Earth Realm’s ruler, whose projection had detected Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven.

• Sun Tzu intercepted Void’s attack with his spear, and the resulting shockwave spread across the void as Sun Tzu vanished again.

Void pursued Sun Tzu’s Human Path Battle Armor into a canyon, unaware that it was a weakened decoy, while Sun Tzu appeared elsewhere and revealed the trick. As the six Immortals gathered the Nine Provinces Four Regions’ source power to crush the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven and the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord beneath Hell Mountain, Sky Ghost ordered the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies to destroy the Nine Provinces Four Regions and disrupt their effort.

• Void tore open a rift through spacetime, followed the Human Path Battle Armor into the canyon, and attacked it, while Sun Tzu appeared outside the canyon and said Void had fallen for his trick.

• Sky Ghost ordered the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies to destroy the Nine Provinces Four Regions and stop the Immortals from summoning the full power of its source.

The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies tried to destroy Dragon Province, but the Seal of Heaven protected the Nine Provinces and blocked their attack. As Anomalies invaded the world, the Six Paths Immortals suspended the Battle of Heavenly Fate and ordered the armies to defend against them while they continued fighting at Hell Mountain.

• The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies struck Dragon Province with their combined logic, but a force rising from the earth stopped the attack.
• The six Immortals recognized the force as the Seal of Heaven, which stabilized all Nine Provinces through a network of linked formations.
• Sky Ghost led the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies toward Hell Mountain, where they attacked the six Immortals with torrents of logic while remaining outside the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• Countless Anomalies descended on the Nine Provinces Four Regions and attacked its inhabitants as cities sounded alarms and defenders raised formations.
• The Haoran Sage persuaded the other Immortals to draw only on the portion of the Nine Provinces' source they controlled, and the Six Paths Immortals suspended the Battle of Heavenly Fate.
• Pan Chengfeng and other cultivators obeyed the order to defend their assigned regions and clear out the invading Anomalies.

The Six Paths Immortals gained the upper hand against the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven and his summoned ally, prompting the Wisdom Logic Anomalies to call for Void. Void was trapped in Li Qing’s grand array and struggled to break through, ending by concentrating his power into a single attack.

• The Six Paths Immortals used source power to suppress the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven and the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord while battles against anomalies spread across the world.
• Sky Ghost and the other Wisdom Logic Anomalies realized Void was their best chance to change the battle and sent out a message calling him back.
• Void sensed the message inside the canyon, but Li Qing sealed him within the All Beings' Resentment Time-Space Destruction Grand Array.
• Void attacked the array with his sword, but its barrier endured his blows as the light of despair wore down his power.
• Void poured all his strength into his sword and became a Sword of Destruction, aiming to pierce the array at one point as Li Qing prepared for the attack.

Void fought through Li Qing’s formation but was worn down and killed before the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies could reach him. After discovering the ambush, they abandoned their attack and arrived at the array just as a massive force struck its boundary.

• Void used his Sword of Destruction to pierce the formation’s layered spacetimes, while Li Qing concentrated the formation’s power into a black vortex to block him.
• Li Qing drove the Extinction Grand Formation to its limit, and the contest of attrition consumed Void’s strength faster than the formation’s reserves.
• The formation overwhelmed Void, ground away his spirit, and left his Sword of Destruction shrouded in resentment.
• Sky Ghost traced Void through karma and learned from Myriad Spirits that Li Qing had likely lured him into an ambush.
• Sky Ghost ordered the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies to abandon their positions and tear open a passage toward Li Qing’s array.
• As Void fell, the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies’ powers crashed into the boundary of the black array.

The Divine Body escaped the collapsing formation with the Underlying Logic relic and Human Path Battle Armor as the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies arrived too late. At Hell Mountain, the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord used Concept Logic to create an opening before the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven fled into the Earth Realm, leaving both sides uncertain about what had slipped away.

• The Divine Body seized the Underlying Logic relic and Human Path Battle Armor, then escaped through the collapsing passage as the four Wisdom Logic Anomalies reached the ruined valley.
• The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven retreated toward the blood pool while the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord used Concept Logic to halt spacetime briefly and send a mysterious power through the Six Paths Immortals' blockade.
• The Nether River Yama Son of Heaven escaped through a collapsing passage into the Earth Realm, where a black figure told him to follow.
• The Six Paths Immortals destroyed Hell Mountain but could not find the Nether River Yama Son of Heaven or identify what had happened during the moment spacetime stopped.
• The four Wisdom Logic Anomalies returned to the Nine Provinces Four Regions, blamed Li Qing for their companion's death, and moved on to their next task.
• The Haoran Sage suspected the being who had descended was still alive and hiding somewhere in the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

After the Immortals guarded the Nine Provinces Four Regions and searched for the fallen Wisdom Logic Anomaly, Li Qing used the Record Book to discover that the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord had survived and hidden in the world. Li Qing planned to prepare an escape route and track the Devil Lord, whom he intended to use as bait.

• Haoran Sage agreed that two Immortals should guard the barrier while the others searched for the Wisdom Logic Anomaly, and the Demon Emperor Who Upends All Living Beings and Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord took the guard duty.
• The other four Immortals sent projections into the Nine Provinces Four Regions, where they searched as the Demon Emperor Who Upends All Living Beings and Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord raised a barrier that destroyed incoming Anomalies and gathered Essence Stones.
• Li Qing recovered the spent Destruction Spacetime Grand Formation and a remnant of Underlying Logic, then watched the Immortals' movements through his informants.
• Li Qing used the Record Book to learn that the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord had escaped into the world and that the Immortals were searching for him to seize his essence.
• Li Qing decided to accelerate the Void Seed Plan and create an escape route to a lower-dimensional world, then used the Record Book to infer that the Devil Lord might possess someone under the Child of Destiny closest to the east.
• Li Qing resolved to monitor the Child of Destiny armies and use the Devil Lord as a lure once he formed a karmic connection.

Li Qing planned to use Logic Artifacts and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to build leverage against the Six Paths Immortals. Meanwhile, the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord infiltrated Xuanyuan Changlong's army and possessed a Novelist School cultivator, leaving his next move poised to unfold.

• Li Qing resolved to advance the Six Paths Investiture of Gods, weaken the Six Paths Immortals and Wisdom Logic Anomalies, and turn Underlying Logic remnants into Logic Artifacts.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord's remnant reached the eastern border and decided to hide in someone serving a Child of Destiny.
• The Devil Lord chose Xuanyuan Changlong, whose forces lacked an Underlying Logic cultivator backing him.
• The Devil Lord slipped into Xuanyuan Changlong's city and selected a weak Novelist School cultivator as his host.
• The Devil Lord entered the cultivator's body and fed him inspiration as he began writing his novel.

A wisp of the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord took over Fang Wenru and began using the Novelist School to secretly rebuild his strength. Meanwhile, the Immortals halted their search to protect the world's source, and Namo Nirvana Light-Dark Buddha concluded that someone had manipulated the conflict to weaken both sides.

• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord's will possessed Fang Wenru and recognized the Novelist School's power system as a useful way to hide and grow stronger.
• Fang Wenru wrote several compelling stories, had his first novel printed, and distributed it through the Novelist School's bookstores and storytellers.
• The Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord planned to gather power through the Novelist School and recover to the level of Underlying Logic while remaining hidden.
• The four Immortals failed to find their quarry and withdrew their search after the cost to the world's source became too great.
• The Children of Destiny continued hunting Anomalies, preventing the Six Paths Investiture of Gods from continuing.
• Namo Nirvana Light-Dark Buddha argued that someone had engineered the events to weaken both sides, noting that a Wisdom Logic Anomaly had fallen and an Underlying Logic Relic had vanished.

The Immortal Realm cultivators suspected Li Qing had manipulated the conflict to gain control over two remnants of Underlying Logic, but they continued their Six Paths Investiture of Gods plan because a powerful world was approaching. The four surviving Wisdom Logic Anomalies also gathered in secret, fearing their losses and asking how they could survive.

• Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord and Haoran Sage concluded that Li Qing had used the Wisdom Logic Anomalies and a mysterious figure to eliminate one of their own and obtain another remnant of Underlying Logic.
• Haoran Sage explained that the Six Paths Investiture of Gods prevented the Immortal Realm cultivators from wiping out the Children of Destiny, while a world controlled by a Spacetime Heavenly Dao powerhouse drew closer to the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

• Sky Ghost told the other three Wisdom Logic Anomalies that Li Qing had outmaneuvered them again, leaving them outnumbered and in danger.
• Myriad Spirits blamed Li Qing's treasure and knowledge of the world for exposing their plans and helping the mysterious attacker strike.

Myriad Spirits persuaded the Wisdom Logic Anomalies and immortals to treat Li Qing as an enemy, while Haoran Sage dismissed suspicions about Sun Tzu and privately considered seeking an alliance with Li Qing.

• Haoran Sage privately resolved to pursue control of the world's Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and considered speaking with Li Qing.

Li Qing refined four Underlying Logic Relics into Logic Artifacts, causing a seven-day upheaval that transformed Sand Province. After discovering that Haoran Sage had approached Jixia Academy to contact him amid growing distrust among the Wisdom Logic Anomalies, Li Qing sent a duplicate to meet him.

• Li Qing's Future Body used green ink and the Heaven-and-Earth Upheaval Chaos-Reversing Great Divine Curse to refine the Sword of Destruction, merging his spiritual imprint with its logic.
• The refining caused four upheavals and seven days of storms across Sand Province, filling underground waterways and bringing new growth to the barren land.
• Li Qing's Present Body inspected the four completed Logic Artifacts, while the Myriad Shadow Paper Doll carried three toward separate battlefields to exchange them for other Logic Relics.
• Li Qing's Divine Body gathered records and Dharma Forms from the Hundred Schools of Thought and reconstructed the ancient war fought by the Human Dao Dynasty.
