Chapter Summaries

The Nine Great Rulers let the Northern World Cluster conflict develop while sending immortal-level incarnations to investigate the trapped figures. As the Nine Provinces Four Regions neared the Blue Heaven Dao World, Li Qing laid out a plan to strike first before nine world clusters could surround them.

• The Radiant Emperor said the Rulers’ plan to feign weakness would take time, while the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Flesh Ancestor sent immortal-level incarnations to investigate the Northern World Cluster.
• Li Qing’s Past Body detected the new incarnations through the Gravity Sphere network and decided to deal with them later.
• The Blue Heaven Dao World and the four world clusters behind it attacked the Nine Provinces Four Regions, but Li Qing’s Present Body used the formations and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to blunt their assaults and slow the advance.
• After three years, Li Qing’s Present Body told the assembled allies they had ten days until collision and planned to accelerate the Nine Provinces Four Regions on the fifth day, then kill the Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor and devour the Blue Heaven Dao World.

• In the Western World Cluster, Xuanyuan Changlong’s three true bodies converged with the Dimension God King, the Spirit Mountain Buddha Patriarch, the Myriad Dragon Heavenly Lord, and the Heartless Divine Lord.

Xuanyuan Changlong used the war between the world clusters to gather Qi Fate and begin the immortal ascension Tribulation with his three true bodies. The Myriad Dragon Heavenly Lord and Heartless Divine Lord tried to interrupt him with a combined attack, but Heavenly Dao Reincarnation blocked it as the Bright Heavenly Emperor joined the defense.

• Xuanyuan Changlong's three true bodies absorbed Qi Fate during the clash of the world clusters and began their immortal ascension Tribulations.

• Li Qing calculated that the Nine Provinces Four Regions would reach the Blue Heaven Dao World in four days, with the four world clusters behind it arriving the next day and the others hours later.

Li Qing's Nine Provinces Four Regions attacked the fleeing Blue Heaven Dao World, using Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to suppress its formation and slow its escape. The Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor compressed his world cluster to withstand the assault and buy time for the other eight world clusters to arrive.

• After three days of preparation, Li Qing's Present Body projection led the Nine Provinces Four Regions toward the Blue Heaven Dao World.

• The Lord of Human Dao, Supreme Ghost God King, and Glazed Buddha Lord celebrated their advantage and ordered their armies to ram into the Nine Provinces Four Regions and trap it in the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation.

The Nine Provinces Four Regions drew the Blue Heaven Dao World into its formation and used teleportation and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to weaken its world cluster. As the weakened Blue Heaven Dao World rushed toward the Nine Provinces homeland, Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor tried to delay the collision, unaware that Li Qing had anticipated his moves.

• Haoran Sage and eight other experts took positions in the world formation, while rival world rulers and hidden powers waited for the coming battle.
• Li Qing suppressed the Tribulation stirring within his three bodies as the Nine Provinces Four Regions closed to less than a hundred li from the Blue Heaven Dao World.

• Li Qing's Present Body and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation teleported more than a thousand expanding Blue Heaven worlds across the formation, where their forces began devouring them.
• Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor contracted the remaining worlds after his formation weakened by one-third, then tried to steer the Blue Heaven Dao World away from the Nine Provinces homeland.
• The world formations opened the passage into a black hole that swallowed cosmic storms and canceled the Blue Heaven Dao World's power, as Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor's efforts unfolded according to Li Qing's plan.

As the Blue Heaven Dao World collided with the homeland of the Nine Provinces Four Regions, Li Qing directed the conquest of its outer worlds. Xuanyuan Changlong broke through to the Conceptual Logic Prototypes, then used his three world clusters to escape into the void while the other powers turned on the Myriad Dragon Heavenly Lord and the Heartless Divine Lord.

• Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor shielded the Blue Heaven Dao World Cluster with Eternal Blue Heaven as it descended toward the Nine Provinces Four Regions, while Li Qing severed the void-storm passage and directed battles across the first thousand worlds.

• Xuanyuan Changlong broke through the Immortal realm and formed three Conceptual Logic Prototypes: Balance of All Things, Ultimate Chaos, and Eternal Order.
• Xuanyuan Changlong combined his three world clusters and their Conceptual Logic Prototypes into a formation that isolated his cluster from the universe, then fled into the void.
• The Spirit Mountain Buddha Patriarch and the Dimension God King chose not to pursue Xuanyuan Changlong and instead attacked the world clusters of the Myriad Dragon Heavenly Lord and the Heartless Divine Lord.

Myriad Dragon Heavenly Lord and Heartless Divine Lord fled as Dimension God King and Spirit Mountain Buddha Patriarch destroyed parts of their world clusters and pursued them. In the Northern World Cluster, Li Qing's forces overwhelmed Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor's Eternal Blue Heaven, and Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor prepared to flee with his supreme grotto-heaven treasure.

• Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor realized he could not hold out and began preparing to escape, taking out his supreme grotto-heaven treasure containing the world's resources and many intelligent lifeforms.

Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor triggered hidden self-destruct mechanisms in the worlds connected to his homeland, using their explosions to escape the Nine Provinces Four Regions. As Haoran Sage and Purple God intercepted him amid the blast, he pushed forward through the weakening torrent toward the world formation.

• Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor prepared his trump cards and resolved to flee, relying on an avatar hidden deep in the void.

• Purple God raced ahead to block Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor while other pursuers closed in from multiple directions.
• Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor increased his speed and used Eternal Blue Heaven to guide the explosions through the eroding force of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and the world formation.

Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor used explosive treasures and Eternal Blue Heaven to break through the Nine Provinces Four Regions world formation while Haoran Sage, Purple God, Demon Spirit, and Imperial Sovereign tried to stop him. He escaped beyond the formation, but five strands of conceptual logic emerged from the chaotic storm and engulfed the torrent.

• Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor threw two black-red spheres at Haoran Sage and Purple God, whose explosions halted their pursuit.
• Heavenly Dao Reincarnation teleported Demon Spirit and Imperial Sovereign to the world boundary, where they intercepted Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor.

• Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor escaped beyond the world formation as five strands of conceptual logic erupted from the chaotic storm and shrouded the torrent.

The Nine Provinces Four Regions forces nearly killed Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor, but he escaped after sacrificing most of his body. Li Qing's Present Body then outlined the urgent timetable for annexing the remaining worlds before eight enemy world clusters arrived.

• The seven spacetime Heavenly Dao powerhouses trapped Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor, who shattered spacetime and split himself into five forms to escape their attacks.
• Li Qing's Present Body combined Heavenly Dao Reincarnation with the world formation's power, destroying three of Blue Heaven Dao Ancestor's forms and damaging his sword, but his azure figure and cave-heaven spacetime pearl escaped.
• Li Qing's Present Body told the seven powerhouses to return and complete the annexation of the Blue Heaven Dao World remnants within eight hours.
• Li Qing's Present Body warned that eight world clusters would arrive in eleven hours and proposed activating Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to devour every world, invest all life, and assimilate the remaining forces.

Li Qing explained a plan to seize worlds from the eight great worlds through successive collisions, while concealing his true intentions from the Nine Provinces Four Regions’ allies. The first step began with the destruction of the Blue Heaven Dao World and two thousand other worlds, whose fragments and survivors were absorbed into the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

• Li Qing outlined a plan to use world collisions and Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power to capture worlds and expand the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• Haoran Sage and Namo Nirvana Light-Dark Buddha doubted the later stages of Li Qing’s plan, while Purple God warned that the next siege would be a turning point.
• The powerful figures agreed to begin Li Qing’s plan by harvesting the resources of the Blue Heaven Dao World.
• The Heavenly Net and Earthly Web destroyed the Blue Heaven Dao World and two thousand medium-to-large worlds, killing most of their inhabitants.
• Heavenly Dao Reincarnation gathered the dead souls and directed world fragments toward the Main World and the Three Thousand Worlds, while surviving cultivators were brought to the Nine Provinces Four Regions and made Heavenly Gods and Underworld Gods.

Li Qing's Present Body conquered another world by forcing Divine Moon to submit and appointing him its emperor. The added logic strengthened Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, but the Haoran Sage and the other experts reached the limits of their logic, leaving Li Qing to channel the excess power into the Heart-Destroying Sword.

• Divine Moon and the Blue Heaven Dao World cultivators fought the celestial armies until Heavenly Dao Reincarnation bound them and demanded their submission.
• Divine Moon surrendered, accepted Li Qing's appointment, and became Emperor Divine Moon with a divine seat for lunar logic.
• Heavenly Dao Reincarnation absorbed more logic and divine seats, doubling its strength and sending a surge of power to Li Qing and the eight great experts.
• The Haoran Sage and the other experts found that their logic could not absorb more power, while Li Qing's Present Body reached his own limit.
• Li Qing's Present Body directed the excess power into the Heart-Destroying Sword and told the Haoran Sage that every kind of logic had a limit.

Li Qing revealed that Heavenly Dao Reincarnation had a power limit and could eventually dominate those who relied on it, prompting Haoran Sage and the others to seek another path. As the Nine Provinces Four Regions absorbed the Blue Heaven Dao World, rival powers moved to attack, believing the world cluster was vulnerable.

• Li Qing told the nine powerhouses that only entering Conceptual Logic could remove Heavenly Dao Reincarnation's growth limit and prevent it from turning them into puppets.
• Haoran Sage proposed trading the Three Realms System's method of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation with the rulers of two worlds in the Southern World Cluster, and the others agreed.
• Spiritual Rhinoceros told Li Qing about the proposed trade and reaffirmed his trust in Li Qing, while worrying that Final Logic was stirring his evil thoughts.
• Li Qing identified the rulers in the Southern World Cluster as Desolate Age and Purple Jade God, then returned his attention to absorbing the Blue Heaven Dao World and monitoring the Cosmic Storm Zone.
• The Glazed Buddha Lord and Supreme Ghost God King assessed the Nine Provinces Four Regions' strength, while the Lord of Human Dao urged an immediate assault during its absorption of the Blue Heaven Dao World.

The Lord of Human Dao and his allies decided to attack the seemingly trapped Nine Provinces Four Regions before the other world clusters arrived, while the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords gathered the remaining leaders to coordinate their response. Li Qing's Present Body revealed that the apparent battle was a smokescreen, and his tribulation began as the enemies converged.

• The Lord of Human Dao persuaded the Glazed Buddha Lord and the Supreme Ghost God King to risk attacking the Nine Provinces Four Regions before the other world clusters arrived.
• The Lord of Ten Thousand Swords concluded that the Nine Provinces Four Regions was weakened and invited the other leaders to discuss their strategy.
• The Glazed Buddha Lord told the gathered leaders that his group would attack first and test the Nine Provinces Four Regions' strength.
• Li Qing's Present Body announced that the enemies had nearly all arrived and began spreading his immortal tribulation into the karmic tribulation over the Northern World Cluster.

As the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation and the Nine Provinces Four Regions prepared to collide, Li Qing planned to exploit the impact to kill the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Flesh Ancestor’s avatars. The Radiant Emperor and Underworld Devil Lord evaded him, while both world clusters accelerated toward battle.

• Li Qing prepared the Heart-Destroying Sword and positioned the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Flesh Ancestor’s world at the collision’s leading edge so he could strike their avatars.
• The Radiant Emperor and Underworld Devil Lord anticipated Li Qing’s attack, began moving unpredictably through the Cosmic Storm, and discussed the Heart-Destroying Sword’s threat.
• Li Qing sensed that his monitoring network could not reliably track the moving rulers and considered exposing the Gravity Sphere to improve his predictions.
• As the world clusters neared collision, the Lord of Human Dao ordered the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation to accelerate toward the Nine Provinces Four Regions.
• Li Qing gathered the nine great powerhouses’ Conceptual Logic Prototypes into Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, and the Nine Provinces Four Regions accelerated toward the oncoming worlds.

Li Qing's Present Body and the Nine Provinces Four Regions ambushed the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Flesh Ancestor as their world cluster collided with the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation. Their avatars were destroyed, and the Nine Provinces Four Regions gained the upper hand as the larger war began.

• The Civilization Ruler and the other leaders of the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation decided to charge the approaching Nine Provinces Four Regions and try to hold out for reinforcements.
• Li Qing's Present Body concentrated Heavenly Dao Reincarnation's power at the collision point and concealed it while targeting the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Flesh Ancestor.
• The Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings and the Flesh Ancestor realized their world was in the path of the collision and tried to escape.
• The Civilization Ruler sealed their world with the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation, blocking their escape.
• The two world clusters collided, destroying the trapped world and killing both avatars.
• Li Qing's Present Body saw the Nine Provinces Four Regions hold the advantage as the impact shattered a vast section of the opposing formation.

The Nine Provinces Four Regions formation broke through the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation and captured three thousand worlds, dragging them into Li Qing’s domain. The battle left the Supreme Ghost God King furious over his losses, while the Flesh Ancestor and the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings set out to investigate how their avatars had been discovered but arrived too late.

• The Nine Provinces Four Regions formation shattered the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation and used Heavenly Dao Reincarnation to seize three thousand worlds.
• Glazed Buddha Lord, the Supreme Ghost God King, the Lord of Human Dao, and the Civilization Ruler tried to activate the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation, but its sealing power could not stop the captured worlds from being dragged away.
• The Flesh Ancestor and the Lord of Myriad Buddhas and Teachings realized their avatars had been discovered early and revived new avatars to investigate the battlefield.
• The three thousand captured worlds collided with the Nine Provinces Four Regions worlds, and the Supreme Ghost God King cried out over the loss of nearly a thousand worlds.
• Li Qing’s Present Body absorbed the captured worlds’ Heavenly Dao Reincarnation while preserving their civilizations, quietly gaining leverage over the Nine Provinces Four Regions.

Li Qing’s Present Body absorbed the power of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation from the first twelve hundred captured worlds and shared temporary control of it with the others. When the enemy’s rebuilt formation struck again, the Nine Provinces Four Regions held firm, leaving the opposing rulers alarmed and debating their next move.

• Li Qing’s Present Body merged Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power from twelve hundred captured worlds, bringing his personal control to nearly thirty-two percent, then temporarily distributed the added power among everyone.
• The Lord of Human Dao urged the others to stop the remaining worlds from escaping, and the Glazed Buddha Lord proposed rebuilding the Four Directions Heaven-Sealing Formation and attacking again.
• The four rulers rebuilt the formation with seven thousand worlds and launched it at the Nine Provinces Four Regions after its defenders had broken the logic of all three thousand captured worlds.
• Li Qing’s Present Body concealed Heavenly Dao Reincarnation power beneath the world formation, allowing the Nine Provinces Four Regions to withstand the renewed impact without its formation shattering.
• The Lord of Human Dao warned that the Nine Provinces Four Regions had become too powerful and called for the other four world clusters to hurry, while the Civilization Ruler pointed out that their enemy had only defended.

The eight great world groups prepared to besiege the Nine Provinces Four Regions, while Li Qing's Present Body explained his plan to seize more worlds and ultimately defeat them. Haoran Sage suspected Li Qing had hidden forces in the cosmic void and might have planted allies among the enemy groups, leaving Li Qing startled by how much he had deduced.

• The Civilization Ruler concluded that the enemy could not counterattack and planned for the eight great world groups to coordinate an assault.
• Li Qing's Present Body told the Nine Provinces Four Regions leaders to rebuild Heavenly Dao Reincarnation in the three thousand seized worlds and prepare another round of plunder.
• Li Qing's Present Body outlined a plan to expand the world formations, hold off the enemy groups, and consume their worlds until they had only their Main World homelands left.
• Haoran Sage warned that the earlier trick could not work twice and demanded to know whether Li Qing was concealing a scheme.
• Haoran Sage accused Li Qing of relying on powerful forces in the cosmic void and possibly supporting factions within the eight world clusters.
• Li Qing realized Haoran Sage was probing his reaction and was surprised by how much he had guessed.

Li Qing’s forces completed their preparations while the eight world-cluster controllers planned an all-out attack on the Nine Provinces Four Regions. The chapter ended with their repeated cosmic-storm assaults being absorbed by Heavenly Dao Reincarnation as the opposing forces approached.

• Haoran Sage questioned Li Qing’s plan, but Li Qing insisted it was the only correct path as the leaders prepared for the possibility of turning against him.
• Heavenly Dao Reincarnation took control of the plundered worlds, sealed their resisters, and raised a new world formation across six thousand worlds.
• The Lord of Human Dao warned the other world-cluster controllers that the Nine Provinces Four Regions had located their worlds and plundered them, while the Glazed Buddha Lord urged an immediate attack.
• The eight world clusters and the Main World accelerated toward the Nine Provinces Four Regions, and the Glazed Buddha Lord’s faction began drawing in cosmic storms to attack.
• The Nine Provinces Four Regions absorbed the storms and their energy, matter, spacetime, and fragments without apparent damage, prompting the Supreme Ghost God King to order further attacks.
