Chapter Summaries

Gu Yuan used Zhuang Qing'er and a captured system to set the Myriad Heavens Containment Center on the trail of a world above the Ten Thousand Laws Realm. As he waited for investigators to respond, Zhao Wu resumed his rivalry with Azure Origin Patriarch while Gu Yuan watched Meng Lin.

• Gu Yuan waited several days for a response and watched Zhao Wu and Azure Origin Patriarch fight again while he observed Meng Lin.

Gu Yuan watched a Return to Unity expert from the Myriad Heavens Containment Center arrive and kill Meng Lin with the Great Perfection Law of Space. The old man entered the altar and confronted another Return to Unity expert formed from the Law of Emotions, while Gu Yuan observed through his orb of light.

• Gu Yuan opened a viewpoint through the small orb of light to watch the altar and saw the old man freeze space across Central City.

• The two Return to Unity experts clashed with the Law of Space and the Law of Emotions, shattering space as Gu Yuan watched.

Gu Yuan watched the Myriad Heavens Containment Center’s old man fall behind in a battle that had moved into the universe, while the shattered light around him gave him more ways to observe.

After Zhao Wu received his mission rewards and learned that a Unity Realm expert had died, headquarters investigators cleared him of suspected infiltration without his knowledge.

• Gu Yuan watched a giant hand destroy the strange emotions and erase all matter in that stretch of space, then woke on the Eternal Origin Continent and resolved to pursue greater power.

• Gu Yuan counted at least five system owners aboard and decided to keep the full-length mirror for himself rather than use it to fulfill wishes.
• The Flower Boat's passengers discussed how they had arrived and whether it could grant wishes.

• The Profound Light Sect’s scouting formation detected an ordinary world, and Mo Tianxing ordered the vessel to advance toward its passageway.
• After docking at the passageway, the disciples looked to Mo Tianxing uneasily, aware that entering could be extremely dangerous.

• A cheerful passenger told Mo Tianxing that people from nearby civilizations had booked the vessel tour, built by a major company to offer recreation beyond their civilizations.

• Mo Tianxing enjoyed the great vessel's entertainment while Gu Yuan decided to have him investigate it.

• Mo Tianxing paid with saved resources and returned to the Profound Light Sect's flying vessel as the great vessel sailed away.

Mo Tianxing and the Profound Light Sect’s disciples sailed through a repeating stretch of the Old Sea, where they encountered the same flying vessel and great vessel again.

• Mo Tianxing accused the merchants of pretending not to know him so they could scam him again, but they seemed genuinely confused.
• Mo Tianxing recalled the wrecked vessels, ordinary world, and great vessel, then began to question his assumptions.

Mo Tianxing realized events were repeating in a loop and boarded the great vessel again to investigate its unexplored areas. He discovered a scouting treasure on the tenth floor, but the loop’s cause remained unknown as he peered through a pink door and saw a sleeping little girl.

• Mo Tianxing recognized that events after leaving Eternal Origin Continent were repeating and suspected the great vessel was where each cycle began.
• Mo Tianxing accepted the vessel manager’s invitation to board again, and one Profound Light Sect disciple followed him, convinced there was a fortuitous opportunity aboard.
• Mo Tianxing searched the vessel while Gu Yuan continued dancing, then used a fire on the eighth and ninth floors to disguise himself as a guard and enter the tenth floor.
• Mo Tianxing found a purple crystal ball that was a scouting treasure, not the apparent source of the loop, and found nothing else in the room.
• Mo Tianxing approached a pink door that blocked his divine sense and saw a sleeping little girl through its crack.

Mo Tianxing infiltrated Great Ark’s finest room to investigate the cycle, only to find Wu Ling, the ship’s artifact spirit, who knew nothing about it and charged him for his visit. After he left, Wu Ling realized something felt wrong and began to take the cycle seriously.

• Mo Tianxing entered Great Ark with Gu Yuan and two junior brothers, then used a concealment treasure and a staged fire to reach the familiar room.
• Mo Tianxing found a girl there, and Gu Yuan identified her as Wu Ling, the artifact spirit of Great Ark.
• Wu Ling caught Mo Tianxing inspecting her, then presented him with a bill for the ship’s finest room.
• Mo Tianxing questioned Wu Ling about the cycle, but she seemed genuinely unaware of it, so he paid and left.
• After watching Mo Tianxing depart, Wu Ling reflected on the cycle and grew solemn, realizing that something had felt wrong.

• A merchant association manager offered Mo Tianxing lodging and probed his origins and strength.
• Gu Yuan arrived at the Wei Duke Manor, where a servant told him that a woman had been settled in the rear courtyard guest room as he had instructed.

Mo Tianxing met the emperor of Great Yan and demanded only that cultivation techniques be spread, then left after the emperor and his patriarch agreed to comply. Meanwhile, Gu Yuan’s father took him toward the imperial capital, where Gu Yuan planned to learn more about the emperor.

• Crowds gathered outside the Bright Moon Merchant Association to buy cultivation techniques, and its manager told Mo Tianxing that the emperor wanted to meet him.
• Mo Tianxing agreed to travel to the imperial capital, while Gu Yuan’s father told him to pack for their own journey there to visit his grandfather.
