1. Key Plot Points and Events

• More than twenty years after the Immortal Sect issued its transfer orders, Divine Mechanism True Venerable’s Second Front Army withdraws from the battlefield and arrives at the Ancient God Domain realm passage.
• Jiang Ding personally welcomes Divine Mechanism and inspects the veteran fleet. Its warships, hardened by centuries of combat and repeated repairs, are far more battle-ready than the newer Ninth Front Army vessels.
• Jiang Ding and Divine Mechanism exchange candid remarks. Divine Mechanism admits that Jiang Ding has become so dangerous that he would avoid approaching Jiang’s true body if he were still stationed with the Immortal Sect Central Army.
• The military command of the Ancient God Domain passage is reorganized. Sun Slayer True Venerable temporarily takes charge of the Ninth Front Army, supported by fixed formations and coordinated operations with Canghai and Divine Mechanism True Venerables.

• Beneath the strategically important seventh-rank Sky-Covering Divine Banyan, Jiang Ding activates the highest-level concealment formation.
• He submits the incomplete essence of an eighth-rank Celestial Being’s soul—obtained from the failed possession attempt in the Heaven-Hiding Pavilion—to the Central Array-Spirit Computer for research into realms beyond Dao Integration.
