Li Qing and his allies used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and the world's formations to suppress the Underworld Devil Lord, while the Immortals intensified their assault from beyond the Nine Provinces Four Regions. A mysterious master watched the conflict and considered whether to aid the invaders, concluding that they needed to keep weakening the world's Heavenly Dao Reincarnation from outside.

The Immortals prepared to unleash Heavenly Dao Reincarnation as Sun Tzu and Spiritual Rhinoceros launched a coordinated attack through the Space Gate. Sun Tzu overwhelmed the Sun Emperor’s combined defenses, but the Sun Emperor faced Spiritual Rhinoceros’s surprise strike and burned his life to power his mirror.

• The Immortals learned that the Radiant Emperor and Underworld Devil Lord had descended, and agreed to wait for Sun Tzu and Spiritual Rhinoceros before launching their counterattack.
• The Sky Ghost mourned the loss of his original body, blamed Li Qing, and merged his consciousness with the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation he controlled.

The Sun Emperor was gravely wounded after Spiritual Rhinoceros and Sun Tzu trapped him at the Space Gate, though he escaped into a spatial rift with a fraction of his power. Unable to safely recover among the Immortals, he headed toward a lower-dimensional world to seek resources.

• The Five Immortals sacrificed their avatars to empower the Sun Emperor, but Spiritual Rhinoceros and Sun Tzu attacked him from both sides at the Space Gate.

• The Radiant Emperor unleashed a sword of light that broke through Li Qing’s Divine Body projection and forced Sun Tzu and Spiritual Rhinoceros back.
• Li Qing’s projection lent Sun Tzu and Spiritual Rhinoceros his Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power, and the two attacked the Radiant Emperor again with greatly increased strength.

Li Qing and the assembled Immortals used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to repel the Radiant Emperor and the Underworld Devil Lord, while the world’s defenses also turned away the Five Immortals’ cannon strike. With the invaders driven into the void, Li Qing proposed invading the Spiritual Essence World, but Haoran Sage objected to recruiting the soldiers outside the Space Gate.

• Li Qing recognized that the Radiant Emperor and the Underworld Devil Lord planned to destroy the Nine Provinces Four Regions, and summoned the Immortals to unite against them.
• The six Heavenly Emperors and five Ghost Emperors joined forces to form the Sword of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, while the Five Immortals fired the Grotto-Heaven Soul-Extinguishing Cannon from outside the world.

• The Radiant Emperor and the Underworld Devil Lord escaped through the world’s barrier into the void, leaving the Nine Provinces Four Regions safe for the moment.
• Li Qing urged the Immortals to invade the Spiritual Essence World and recruit the soldiers outside the Space Gate, but Haoran Sage insisted that only their own trained disciples should fill the new divine positions.

Li Qing persuaded the Immortals and Wisdom Logic Anomalies to seize the Space Gate and invade the Spiritual Essence World, proposing to capture the Sun Emperor and Bright Moon's avatars and use a world collision to destroy their enemies. The group committed the power of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to the invasion, while Haoran Sage silently watched Li Qing with suspicion.

• Li Qing argued that the group had to seize the Space Gate before the Five Immortals could regain control and explained how invading could lead to conquering the Spiritual Essence World.
• Li Qing proposed capturing the Sun Emperor and Bright Moon's avatars, sending the Nine Provinces Four Regions across the void, and using its collision with the Spiritual Essence World to trap their enemies.

• The assembled Immortals channeled Heavenly Dao Reincarnation through the Space Gate, and Li Qing guided the Dark Ocean's resentment into contact with its power.

Li Qing secretly forged a Reincarnation Passage in the Dark Ocean, giving lingering obsessions hope of rebirth while creating a way to influence them later. Meanwhile, Heavenly Dao Reincarnation seized the Space Gate and copied its spatial logic, leaving the Immortal Realm cultivators powerless and prompting them to consider contacting the Underworld Devil Lord and Radiant Emperor.

• Li Qing used negative essence in the Dark Ocean to forge a Reincarnation Passage and gave its lingering obsessions hope that they could be reborn.
• Purple God and Demon Spirit watched helplessly as power from the other side formed a space-time domain near the Space Gate, while Spiritual Rhinoceros ordered resistance fighters to hide.
• Li Qing and his allies flooded the Space Gate with Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, shattered its twelve spiritual imprints, and copied its spatial Conceptual Logic Prototype.

• White King proposed that the Immortal Realm cultivators contact the Underworld Devil Lord and the Radiant Emperor to learn more about the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

Immortal Golden Light learned from the Radiant Emperor that the Nine Provinces Four Regions had used its Heavenly Dao Reincarnation three-realm divine system to defeat the invaders. The Radiant Emperor urged him to build a similar system in his own world and use it to attack the Nine Provinces Four Regions when their worlds collided in about a thousand years.

After learning how Heavenly Dao Reincarnation could be built, the Five Immortals chose to bind their Daos to their world and prepare for war.

• The Radiant Emperor agreed to ally with Immortal Golden Light and his companions, hoping to use their strength to break the Nine Provinces Four Regions' Heavenly Dao Reincarnation.
• The Radiant Emperor and Underworld Devil Lord decided to let the Spiritual Essence World learn about Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and exploit the conflict while awaiting an army from High-Dimensional Spacetime.

• Golden Light's avatar explained the two methods of creating Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and the need to gather more Underlying Logic remnants or Immortals' Daos before starting the Investiture of Gods War.
• The Immortal Spirit King urged the Immortals to use their own Daos to support Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, while preparing avatars and a fallback plan in case their world lost the final battle.

The Five Immortals devised a new plan to create a backup world and prepare for another Battle of Heavenly Fate by killing the imprisoned Child of Destiny and splitting destiny into fragments. After the Child of Destiny died, the Spiritual Essence World began forming an Investiture of Gods List and a blueprint for Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, which still required unified destiny and sufficient power to complete.

• Immortal Purple God and the other immortals agreed to send avatars to find a backup world and use the captured Child of Destiny to restart the struggle over fate.
• Immortal Golden Light used the Void Wheel to send five avatars to the Spiritual Essence World, where they met five waiting avatars and departed aboard a Void Fortress Divine Shuttle.

• The Five Immortals directed the world's logic into the River of Fate, where it shattered the destiny vortex into five fragments that merged with other karma.
• The Five Immortals and the logic they had left behind prompted the world will to form a hazy Investiture of Gods List and a phantom of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, which awaited unified destiny and sufficient power.

The Immortals prepared to create a Heavenly Dao Reincarnation system by finding Children of Destiny and overthrowing the Gods and Devils Hero Hall. Li Qing seized the chance to absorb a Child of Destiny’s fate, then began building a rebellion around Song Tianda.

• Purple God and the other Immortals divided their forces, with some guarding the Space Gate and others searching the Three Realms for Children of Destiny.
• Li Qing learned of their plans through the Dark Network and realized that his Fate of the Dead could absorb the destiny of a Child of Destiny.
• Li Qing told the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord and Spiritual Rhinoceros that he had found the Sun Emperor and Bright Moon, and they went to capture them.
• Li Qing found an eighteen-year-old Child of Destiny in a northern village, entered his mind, and absorbed his destiny until he became a true Child of Destiny.
• Li Qing concealed himself within the youth, changed his cultivation path to the Military School, and ordered him to raise a banner and gather troops.
• Li Qing contacted resistance leaders, who agreed to split into small groups and join the young Child of Destiny, Song Tianda.

Song Tianda built a village base and accepted Immortal Golden Light’s offer to become his imperial tutor, while secretly serving Li Qing’s plans. Meanwhile, Spiritual Rhinoceros and the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord located the Sun Emperor’s grotto-heaven and began to conceal their approach.

• Song Tianda attracted followers, used his wealth to win over the villagers, and turned the village into a growing base.
• Immortal Golden Light met Song Tianda, offered to help him unite the world, and gave him a Dao artifact sword.
• Song Tianda accepted Immortal Golden Light as his teacher, then privately affirmed his loyalty to the Lord of Civilization, Li Qing.
• Li Qing’s Divine Body noted that Song Tianda had drawn Immortal Golden Light’s attention and anticipated the coming Battle of Heavenly Fate.
• Spiritual Rhinoceros and the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord found the Sun Emperor’s grotto-heaven hidden in a rock amid the lava and began concealing their information.

Spiritual Rhinoceros attacked the Sun Emperor inside the hidden world while the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord’s darkness threatened to consume it. The Sun Emperor negotiated with the Dao Lord, revealed the World Void Traversal Technique, and secured a promise that he and Bright Moon could become the gods governing the sun and moon.

• Spiritual Rhinoceros entered the hidden world through a golden gate and attacked the Sun Emperor with a spear as the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord’s darkness invaded from outside.

• The Sun Emperor offered to ally with the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord and asked him to withdraw his power before explaining how to transport a world through space.
• The Sun Emperor described the World Void Traversal Technique and sent its knowledge to the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord.
• The Sun Emperor offered to become a spy in the Spiritual Essence World and recruit Bright Moon in exchange for becoming a sun god; the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord agreed to invest them as the gods of sun and moon.

The Sun Emperor and Bright Moon surrendered to the Nine Provinces Four Regions and took the positions of Solar Star Lord and Lunar Star Lord. After learning the Spiritual Essence World’s history from their memories, Li Qing calculated that a world-jump could let the Nine Provinces Four Regions strike and potentially devour their enemy, but it would consume at least a third of their world’s mass.

• The Sun Emperor sent a clone through the Space Gate and surrendered to the Nine Provinces Four Regions, offering his knowledge of the Spiritual Essence World.
• The Heavenly Emperors and Ghost Emperors approved the Sun Emperor as Solar Star Lord, and Li Qing ordered the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord and Spiritual Rhinoceros to find Bright Moon.
• The Sun Emperor, the Eternal Night Lifeless Dao Lord, and Spiritual Rhinoceros found Bright Moon, who agreed to surrender and sent a clone to the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• The Heavenly Emperors and Ghost Emperors appointed the Sun Emperor and Bright Moon as the Solar Star Lord and Lunar Star Lord, then examined their memories of the Spiritual Essence World.
• Li Qing reconstructed the World Void Transmission Technique and concluded that a jump toward the Spiritual Essence World would cost at least one-third of the Nine Provinces Four Regions’ mass, while potentially crippling the enemy and enabling its conquest.

Li Qing revealed a plan to exploit the Spiritual Essence World's Heavenly Dao Reincarnation system and fund a World Void Traversal with its power. The immortals agreed to help prepare the invasion and draw their enemies toward the Space Gate while the plan's Child of Destiny rose to power.

• Li Qing warned that the Spiritual Essence World was building a Three Realms system to overpower their world when the two worlds collided in seven or eight hundred years.
• Li Qing proposed secretly backing a Child of Destiny to become the God-Investing One, then granting him the title of Purple Star Emperor and having him direct the Spiritual Essence World's power into the World-Anchoring Chains.
• Li Qing explained that the chains would power the World Void Traversal Technique, shifting its cost to the Spiritual Essence World and weakening it for a later attack.
• The Chaos Yin-Yang Dao Lord asked what the others needed to do, and Li Qing told them to conceal information, stabilize the spatial passage, and assemble an army for an apparent counterattack.
• Li Qing ordered the immortals to use more than three million Dao Soldiers as cannon fodder and lure the outside enemies toward the void north of the Space Gate while maintaining a stalemate.

Li Qing’s allies launched a coordinated attack on the Spiritual Essence World while the Five Immortals tried to protect their Heavenly Dao Reincarnation plan. Golden Light recruited Radiant Emperor and Underworld Devil Lord to pressure the world from outside, leaving both of them wary that Li Qing’s plan might conceal more.

• Li Qing persuaded the immortals, including Haoran Sage, to follow his plan and assigned Sun Tzu to lead more than three million Dao Soldiers through the Space Gate.
• Sun Tzu and the Dao Soldiers entered the Spiritual Essence World with allied avatars, where nine Tribulation Realm cultivators combined their power through Sun Tzu.
• The Five Immortals fired the Grotto-Heaven Soul-Extinguishing Cannon, but the allied battle array and Dao Soldiers’ Military School power blocked its blast.
• Purple God warned that the attack could derail Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, prompting Golden Light and the others to call for outside pressure on the Spiritual Essence World.
• Golden Light asked Radiant Emperor and Underworld Devil Lord to join forces with three Conceptual Logic Prototypes, and they agreed while suspecting the situation was not simple.
