Chapter Summaries

Li Qing's Divine Body discovered that the Unknown could erase his memories even as he watched the Jade Tablet, and planned to build a hidden Logic Relic Universe to escape its gaze. Meanwhile, Dead Silence began to awaken in the Radiant Emperor's grotto-heaven.

• Li Qing's Divine Body realized the Unknown's power surpassed Dead Silence and the other beings he had encountered, and feared it had noticed him.
• Li Qing planned to make a Logic Relic Universe using a Concept Logic relic, the Heavenly Secrets Karma Fate River, and the Final Prison, hoping it would evade the Unknown's gaze.
• The Jade Tablet calculated that Li Qing's planned universe had a fifty-percent chance of escaping the Unknown, so he resolved to kill the King of Chaos for the necessary relic.
• Li Qing bound the Stone Stele with Civilization Logic and sent it into the Final Prison, where its released power was absorbed and refined.
• Li Qing's traveling palace continued its journey as his duplicates searched for suitable targets and he considered the secrets hidden in the Infinite Universe Fragments.
• Dead Silence changed within the Radiant Emperor's grotto-heaven, and a wisp of mysterious consciousness declared that its imprint had descended.

Dead Silence possessed the Radiant Emperor and discovered that Li Qing carried an Infinite Mechanism Item, prompting him to assess the looming assault on high-dimensional spacetime and plan for the threat. He suspected his arrival had exposed his dormant power, which would need another fifteen hundred years to awaken fully.

• Dead Silence’s dormant power seized the Radiant Emperor, erased his remaining consciousness, and took control of Bright Logic.
• Dead Silence examined the Radiant Emperor’s memories and learned about Li Qing’s rise, his Infinite Mechanism Item, and the plan to draw him out through changes in higher-dimensional spacetime.
• Dead Silence realized that the tremors caused by his arrival might have alerted Li Qing and exposed the location of his dormant power.
• Dead Silence estimated that his power would need another fifteen hundred years to awaken and considered how Li Qing might attack before then.
• Dead Silence judged that the Super Civilization Universe Alliance could hold back at most half the Nine Great Rulers’ power and suspected Heavenly Secrets Daoist might be Li Qing or a decoy.

Dead Silence analyzed Li Qing’s schemes and decided to wait for the right moment before confronting him. Li Qing discovered that Dead Silence had fully descended by possessing the Radiant Emperor and reconstructed how Dead Silence had prepared the Infinite Universe Fragments as a stepping stone toward invading the Infinite Universe.

• Dead Silence deduced that Li Qing had used the Super Civilization Alliance, his own presence, and the threat of The Indescribable to weaken the Nine Great Rulers.
• Dead Silence recognized the Spacetime Corridor as a possible shield for Li Qing and resolved to observe rather than expose himself before high-dimensional spacetime erupted.
• Li Qing’s Present Body recorded the Radiant Emperor’s conceptual logic fluctuations and learned that Dead Silence’s true consciousness had descended and possessed the Radiant Emperor.
• Li Qing used the Jade Tablet and Way of Changes to reconstruct Dead Silence’s ancient preparations, including his use of the Probability Book Page to create the Infinite Universe Fragments.
• Li Qing learned that Dead Silence had fully adapted to the fragments’ resistance and intended to consume them before invading the Infinite Universe.

Li Qing's Present Body learned how Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven built Heavenly Dao Reincarnation and were trapped in the Infinite Universe Fragments during a war with Final Logic and the Root of the Indescribable. He deduced how Dead Silence might respond to being exposed and decided to remain still, while recognizing that the Radiant Emperor and the Eight Great Rulers could threaten his plan.

• The Jade Tablet revealed that Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven used the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Initial Mark to challenge Final Logic and the Root of the Indescribable, until Dead Silence's intervention sent them into the Infinite Universe Fragments.
• Li Qing's Present Body realized that the Enemy of Heaven knew about his past actions and concluded that he would need conceptual logic-level strength to refine Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven.
• Li Qing's Present Body reasoned that Dead Silence could infer his scheme from the Radiant Emperor's information and might realize it was being used to tie down the Nine Great Rulers.
• Li Qing's Present Body decided to conceal his thoughts and wait for a chance to strike, but worried that the Emperor, the Eight Great Rulers, and the Radiant Emperor could disrupt his plans.

Li Qing planned to use the Emperor against Dead Silence and contacted him with an offer of cooperation. The six Lords considered Li Qing’s proposal and inferred that the third-party force was growing rapidly.

• Li Qing judged that Dead Silence’s arrival had lowered his chances of victory and decided to contact the Emperor while concealing his identity and abilities.
• Li Qing’s Past Body sent an immortal-level incarnation to the Emperor and conveyed Li Qing’s message through Civilization Logic.
• Li Qing told the Emperor that a powerful third-party force had caused the war a hundred million years earlier and intended to invade the infinite universe.
• Li Qing offered to lure the Root of the Indescribable into the Infinite Universe Fragments in exchange for the Emperor’s help against the third-party force.
• The Emperor relayed Li Qing’s proposal to the six Lords, who discussed whether to cooperate and concluded that the third-party force was rapidly gaining strength.

The Lords of the Final Logic agreed on a plan to force Li Qing to lure the Root of the Indescribable into the Infinite Universe Fragments, with hunting Li Qing as a fallback. Li Qing accepted the Emperor’s terms while anticipating the Emperor would turn on him, and he refined his plan for the coming battle.

• The Lords of the Final Logic agreed to threaten Li Qing with the destruction of everything unless he lured the Root of the Indescribable into the Infinite Universe Fragments, and they contacted their creations with the plan.
• The Root of the Indescribable asked Ashes and the King of Chaos to investigate the Final Logic beings, and the King of Chaos sent avatars into the void.
• Li Qing sent over a hundred replicas to intercept the King of Chaos’s avatars, driving them back into the Blackwater Ocean and trapping them there.
• The Emperor told Li Qing that the sovereigns had accepted their deal but demanded that Li Qing release his mysterious treasure five breaths before the universe’s baptism ended.
• Li Qing agreed to the terms, then reasoned that the Emperor would attack him after the Root of the Indescribable entered the fray and considered how to navigate the growing conflict.

Li Qing refined a plan to break into High-Dimensional Spacetime, though hidden variables left its odds uncertain. He convened the Super Civilization Alliance to exchange weapons before the coming war, and the Primordial Void Divine Lord revealed two ominous items.

• Li Qing reviewed his detailed assault plan and judged its chance of success at forty percent, then realized Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven could undermine it.
• The Divine Body reported that Li Qing's Logic Relic Universe was nineteen percent complete and could reach ninety-nine percent rejection after fusing with the relic in his Past Body's hands.
• Li Qing, disguised as the Heavenly Secrets Daoist, called a meeting with the Super Civilization Alliance and proposed exchanging weapons to make better use of them.
• The Primordial Void Divine Lord agreed and revealed two items capable of unleashing power on the level of a Spacetime Heavenly Dao expert.

The Super Civilization Alliance waited until the Nine Great Rulers withdrew their main forces, then launched an assault to seize the Central World. The Central World exploded in a trap, but the alliance contained the blast and absorbed its power into its worlds.

• Heavenly Secrets Daoist explained the effects of a shriveled human head and a black stone as powerhouses began trading their items.
• After hundreds of years of probing attacks, Li Qing's Present Body's incarnation realized the Central World's withdrawal was complete.
• Heavenly Secrets Daoist announced the start of the assault, and the Primordial Void Divine Lord called for the alliance to move its worlds toward the Central World.
• The Nine Great Rulers withdrew as more than a hundred hands of Heavenly Dao Reincarnation reached into the Central World.
• The Central World collapsed and exploded after its conceptual logics triggered a chain reaction.
• The alliance formed a Heavenly Dao Reincarnation barrier, absorbed the explosion's force, and directed its particles into the super-civilization worlds.

The Super Civilization Alliance destroyed the Central World with its Heavenly Dao Reincarnation barrier, prompting the Nine Great Rulers to discuss Li Qing and prepare a deceptive defense. The alliance then began preparations for its second push into High-Dimensional Spacetime by spreading the Mist Disaster.

• The Super Civilization Alliance absorbed the Central World's explosion, and its representatives celebrated their victory and the growth of their worlds.
• The Emperor arrived at the Central World too late to find anything but void, assessed the alliance's strength, and decided to lie in wait for Li Qing.
• The Nine Great Rulers discussed Li Qing's role in strengthening the alliance and warned that he might possess weapons capable of resisting them.
• The Nine Great Rulers agreed to stage a false eruption of The Indescribable and create permanent incarnations to make the alliance believe they had committed their power elsewhere.
• The Primordial Void Divine Lord told the twenty-two holders of The Indescribable's symbols to spread the Mist Disaster as the opening move of the alliance's second push.

The Nine Great Rulers triggered tremors in thousands of seals and drew forty percent of the universe’s surplus power into permanent clones, making their forces appear vastly stronger. The Emperor recognized that they were hiding their true strength to lure the Super Civilization Alliance into a trap, and wondered how far Li Qing’s plan extended.

• The Fallen Devil Lord’s dormant clones spread sealed Indescribable symbols among targets across cities in high-dimensional spacetime.
• The Nine Great Rulers secretly made thousands of seals tremble, alarming cultivators and drawing the attention of the Super Civilization Alliance’s infiltrators.
• The Nine Great Rulers agreed to extract forty percent of the universe’s surplus power and strengthen their permanent clones to the pinnacle of the Spacetime Heavenly Dao level.
• The Rulers’ clones stabilized the seals and formed a defensive net across high-dimensional spacetime, while the All-Beings Dynasty rushed to reinforce the area.
• The Emperor calculated that the Rulers had concealed much of their strength to lure their enemies into a trap and suspected that Li Qing was coordinating the plan.

Heaven, the Enemy of Heaven, the Super Civilization Alliance, and the Haoran Sage prepared for the coming conflict over High-Dimensional Spacetime and the Cosmic Origin. The Alliance chose to probe the apparent weakness rather than launch an all-out assault, while the Haoran Sage secretly planned to betray Li Qing at the crucial moment.

• Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven planned to reclaim their original bodies and take Li Qing's treasures if his body was destroyed.
• The Super Civilization Alliance debated the disturbance in High-Dimensional Spacetime, and the Heavenly Secrets Daoist warned that the High-Dimensional Rulers might be feigning weakness.
• The Heavenly Secrets Daoist urged the Alliance to spread the Mist Disaster and send avatars to test the Cosmic Origin before committing its full power.
• The Primordial Void Divine Lord and the other leaders agreed to prepare the Mist Disaster and probe the Rulers with avatars capable of striking at Concept Logic.
• The Haoran Sage planned to use his three chances to attain Concept Logic before Li Qing, then expose Li Qing and attack him at the final moment.
• The Longevity Palace continued sweeping across a vast area around Li Qing's Divine Body in the Nether Tomb.

Li Qing perfected his Logic Relic Universe and used it to transform Civilization Logic, discovering that his path depended on spreading the Light of Civilization. His three bodies reached conceptual-logic-level strength, but Civilization Logic still needed its final transformation to withstand a decisive fight.

• Li Qing's Divine Body completed the Logic Relic Universe and planned to obtain the King of Chaos's logic to escape Unknown's gaze.
• Li Qing's Past Body absorbed the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation's feedback to perfect Civilization Logic, drawing on the Human Dao Great World's three thousand civilizations and the Human Path Forbidden Law.
• Civilization Logic formed a near-perfect cycle, and the Civilization Conceptual Logic Prototype began transforming and emitted the Enlightening Light of Civilization.
• Li Qing realized that spreading the Light of Civilization and inspiring new civilizations would strengthen his logic and completed his understanding of his path.
• Li Qing's three bodies absorbed power until they reached conceptual-logic-level strength, but their ability to withstand pressure remained inadequate for the final transformation.

Li Qing prepared a decisive tactic while the representatives organized a second probe against High-Dimensional Spacetime. Over a thousand Spacetime Heavenly Dao clones set out to seek Concept Logic and draw out the Nine Great Rulers, as the Radiant Emperor and Underworld Devil Lord learned of the assault.

• Li Qing held back the full power of his Past Body and Future Body while his Divine Body brought the Final Prison, Longevity Palace, and Logic Relic Universe to his Present Body.
• Li Qing planned to use himself as a coordinate to connect the reincarnation of the Nine Provinces Four Regions with that of the Blackwater Ocean through the universe's incomplete reincarnation.
• The representatives agreed to launch a second probe with clones, and the Heavenly Secrets Daoist warned that using the Basin of Reflection again could worsen their fate.
• The nine Spacetime Heavenly Dao experts sent clones through a rift, while over a thousand clones gathered outside High-Dimensional Spacetime with orders to seek Cosmic Origin baptism and evade the Rulers.
• The Nine Great Rulers received reports of the probe, and the Underworld Devil Lord announced that the second assault had begun.

Dead Silence decided to remain hidden in the Eternal Heavenly Domain until the Super Civilization Alliance attacked and the Eight Great Rulers were exhausted. Meanwhile, the symbols of The Indescribable ignited across High-Dimensional Spacetime, and more than a thousand Spacetime Heavenly Dao incarnations launched an invasion as the Underworld Devil Lord ordered his forces to respond.

• Dead Silence concluded that he had to wait for the Super Civilization Alliance to attack before making his move against the Eight Great Rulers.
• The Primordial Void Divine Lord ordered the twenty-two figures who had spread the symbols of The Indescribable to set them off, while his incarnation told the invading forces to move when the explosions began.
• The seals shattered across High-Dimensional Spacetime, and the symbols contaminated everything they touched, transforming an ordinary woman and her husband into monstrous creatures.
• The Nine Great Rulers detected the spreading Mist and unleashed the Radiance of Concept Logic, igniting battles across High-Dimensional Spacetime.
• The Primordial Void Divine Lord ordered more than a thousand Spacetime Heavenly Dao incarnations to invade, and the Cosmic Origin began baptizing their Conceptual Logic Prototypes.
• The Underworld Devil Lord recognized the assault and ordered his forces to act, noting that someone had enabled The Indescribable to spread.

The Nine Great Rulers used the remaining power in the void to strengthen their avatars and attack the Super Civilization Alliance’s invading Spacetime Heavenly Dao experts. Li Qing’s Present Body avatar recorded the effects of Cosmic Origin’s baptism while fighting the Netherworld Devil Master, then self-destructed when trapped; most of the invaders were killed before the survivors escaped the high-dimensional spacetime.

• The Nine Great Rulers extracted the last power in the void and raised their intercepting avatars to twice the strength of top-tier Spacetime Heavenly Dao experts.
• Li Qing’s Present Body avatar, posing as Heavenly Secrets Daoist, used Civilization Logic to endure Cosmic Origin’s baptism and recorded its effects.
• The Netherworld Devil Master trapped Li Qing’s Present Body avatar in a destructive reincarnation vortex that crushed his river of logic.
• Li Qing’s Present Body avatar detonated his power, but the vortex absorbed the explosion and annihilated him.
• The Rulers’ avatars hunted down the invading Spacetime Heavenly Dao avatars, killing more than half within five breaths.
• Only three hundred of the remaining invader avatars escaped the high-dimensional spacetime, forfeiting their chance to receive Cosmic Origin’s baptism.

After the Super Civilization Alliance’s second assault failed, the Emperor, Heaven, the Enemy of Heaven, Ashes, and Dead Silence each considered how to exploit the conflict. Li Qing’s Present Body explained that the attack had exposed the Nine Great Rulers’ strength and weakened the seal on the Mist Disaster, then urged the gathered experts to rely on Heavenly Dao Reincarnation against Conceptual Logic.

• The Nine Great Rulers repelled the Super Civilization Alliance’s second assault, destroying seven hundred incarnations while more than a thousand empowered Ruler incarnations guarded high-dimensional spacetime.
• The Emperor concluded that the Rulers had feigned weakness to lure the Alliance deeper, while Heaven and the Enemy of Heaven waited outside high-dimensional spacetime for a chance to reclaim their true bodies.
• Ashes welcomed the conflict as an opportunity to weaken the Nine Great Rulers and pursue sole existence.
• Dead Silence decided to defend Eternal Heavenly Domain and monitor the battle until the Super Civilization Alliance’s next assault created an opening.
• More than three hundred Spacetime Heavenly Dao experts retreated, and Li Qing’s Present Body told the gathered group that their probing attack had weakened the Mist Disaster’s seal and revealed that only Heavenly Dao Reincarnation could contend with Conceptual Logic.

After the Cosmic Origin's baptism, the rulers agreed to repair their flaws and attempt another breakthrough in five hundred years, while Li Qing developed the Light of Civilization and began a plan against Dead Silence. His avatar met the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord and asked about the Emperor, leaving the Devil Lord waiting for an explanation.

• Xuanyuan Changlong warned the rulers to find spies and avatars of the Nine Great Rulers before their next attempt to break into High-Dimensional Spacetime, and they agreed to purge them.
• Li Qing's Present Body repaired the flaws in Civilization Logic and formed the Light of Civilization, which could suppress supernatural power and strengthen collective civilization.
• Li Qing calculated how the Light of Civilization could spread across worlds and decided to set his plan against Dead Silence in motion.
• At Li Qing's direction, his Flesh Tree avatar traveled underground and contacted the Reincarnation Netherworld Devil Lord.
• Li Qing told the Devil Lord that the Infinite Universe Fragments faced destruction and asked whether he knew why the Emperor had appeared.

Li Qing revealed that Dead Silence, an entity from beyond the universe, had created the Infinite Universe Fragments to prepare for its descent and eventual devouring of all life. He forced the Underworld Devil Lord to choose whether to confront Dead Silence while the Super Civilization Alliance attacked, then identified one of the Nine Great Rulers as Dead Silence’s hidden puppet.

• Li Qing showed the Underworld Devil Lord an image of Dead Silence and warned that forgetting the image would erase all memory of it.
• Li Qing explained that Dead Silence planned to consume the lives and worlds of the Infinite Universe Fragments and would awaken during the coming assault on high-dimensional spacetime.
• Li Qing laid out the Underworld Devil Lord’s choices: ignore Dead Silence and face certain death, or fight it while the Super Civilization Alliance attacked.
• The Underworld Devil Lord realized Li Qing had come to him because he believed the Underworld Devil Lord was trustworthy and asked which ruler was compromised.
• Li Qing identified the hidden puppet as the ruler who had discovered his existence alongside the Underworld Devil Lord, the only Concept Logic powerhouse to survive from a hundred million years ago.

Li Qing explained Dead Silence’s plan to the Underworld Devil Lord and proposed sealing its sleeping power inside Eternal Heavenly Domain, then transporting it beyond the universe. The Underworld Devil Lord accepted the dangerous plan and secretly contacted the other rulers to discuss it.

• Li Qing told the Underworld Devil Lord that Dead Silence planned to awaken through the Radiant Emperor and devour the rulers, and outlined a plan to seal and remove its sleeping power.
• The Underworld Devil Lord warned that opening a crack at the universe’s edge would require advance preparation, while Li Qing offered to provide outside coordinates and control the Super Civilization Alliance’s timing.
• Li Qing showed the Underworld Devil Lord an image of the Radiant Emperor consumed by darkness, and the Underworld Devil Lord accepted it as evidence from the future.
• Li Qing located Dead Silence’s sleeping power inside the throne beneath the Radiant Emperor’s true body in Eternal Heavenly Domain and warned that the rulers would have only an instant to seal it.
• The Underworld Devil Lord agreed to the plan, asked Li Qing to keep the Super Alliance in check, and watched Li Qing leave only a projection behind.
• The Underworld Devil Lord sent silent messages to the other seven rulers, and seven projections appeared before him, including the Flesh Ancestor.

The Underworld Devil Master gathered the Sovereigns and revealed Li Qing’s warning that a third-party universe was hidden among the fragments and would consume them. They agreed to Li Qing’s plan to seal and expel it, but needed a way to draw additional power without alerting the Radiant Emperor; the Underworld Devil Master asked Li Qing for help.

• The Underworld Devil Master summoned the Sovereigns, excluding the Radiant Emperor, and told them what Li Qing had discovered about the hidden third-party existence.
• The Sovereigns examined two images of possible futures and sensed the threat was real.
• The Underworld Devil Master urged the Sovereigns to accept Li Qing’s plan, and they discussed a surprise attack that would seal the third party while preventing the Radiant Emperor from interfering.
• The Underworld Devil Master proposed using a Reincarnation Passage to reach the Radiant Emperor’s palace and retrieve the sealed throne, with Li Qing’s measures to help stop the Radiant Emperor.
• The Underworld Devil Master told Li Qing that the Sovereigns agreed to the plan but needed to borrow power from the universe without alerting the Radiant Emperor, estimating they needed power equivalent to 122 worlds.
