Lin Yi witnessed the Human Emperor’s memories and learned how the Primordial Human Race survived the Desolate Gods and reached the Earth Abyss.

• After humanity recovered, the Human Emperor led one hundred thousand elites toward the Earth Abyss while sending four hundred thousand people to forge the Heavenly Gate from Desolate God Bones.

The Old Human Emperor recounted how the Star Devouring Demon God destroyed the Heavenly Gate and explained that the worlds grew stronger by competing and consuming one another. He offered to teach Lin Yi how to imprint Divine Runes, and Lin Yi learned that the technique was the same as creating a Soul Armament.

• The Old Human Emperor recalled leading one hundred thousand warriors into the Earth Abyss to fight the Desolate Gods, where they encountered a Great Thousand Demon God he named Star Devouring.
• Star Devouring crushed the warriors, shattered the Heavenly Gate, and left the Old Human Emperor alive; the emperor spent a hundred years investigating why Jiuzhou had been spared.

• The Old Human Emperor revealed that he had divided his soul among four stone towers to await a future human and offered Lin Yi the method of imprinting Divine Runes.
• Lin Yi accepted the teaching and learned that Divine Runes and Soul Armaments were the same; the Old Human Emperor told him to call him the Vast Heaven Progenitor.

• Lin Yi chose the Heart Monkey, and Haotian warned him that the choice was unusual before offering him a chance to reconsider.

Lin Yi chose the Great Sage as his divine pattern and discovered that his Mythical-grade Heart Monkey Soul Armament had sealed skills and unusual growth potential. After learning about its former owner's betrayal and the fate of its world, Lin Yi heard why he was expected to challenge the Star Devouring Demon God phantom in Layer 0 and decided the reward of Soul Cores made the fight worthwhile.

• Lin Yi chose the monkey soul, and Haotian completed the divine pattern on his chest, awakening the Heart Monkey Soul Armament.

• Haotian explained that Lin Yi could enter Layer 0 to challenge the Star Devouring Demon God phantom and earn Soul Cores according to the damage he inflicted on its remnant will.
• Lin Yi became interested in challenging the phantom after learning the reward could help unseal the Heart Monkey and strengthen humanity.

• Cheng Xiao calmed the others by explaining that the strange events around Sky Tower were limited to a rapidly rising sea and an illusory moon.
• At the Sea Eye of Guixu, Lin Yi used his ten-millionfold gravitational restraint to hurl the moon at the Demon God's Hand phantom.

• Wei Yuanzhou recognized that the changes could reshape Blue Star's strength and that people would rally behind Lin Yi.
• Wan Chongshan awakened in a hidden cave dwelling on Spirit-Hiding Mountain and reacted with shock when he heard Lin Yi's name in the announcement.

• Lin You entered Zaina with Lin Qianqian after Haotian told her to reclaim her inheritance and return to reality early.

• Lin Yi returned to the tower's hundredth floor, where several dozen Tower Guardians knelt and presented him with nearly ten thousand Soul Cores.

Ji Yunli and Cheng Xiao explained that carrying multiple Soul Armaments increased a person's Karma and risked backlash from the world, then Ji Yunli asked about Lin Yi's unique achievement.

• Lin Yi's Soul Cores transformed Heart Monkey, removed half its seal, and unlocked the Phoenix-Winged Purple-Gold Crown.
• Lin Yi examined Heart Monkey's improved traits, resonance bonuses, Soul Skills, and the crown's defensive effect.
• Ji Yunli and Cheng Xiao explained that possessing more Soul Armaments increased a person's Karma and could provoke bad luck and rejection from the world.
• Ji Yunli asked Lin Yi what effect his unique achievement had, and Lin Yi admitted he had not yet examined it or his other recent rewards.

• The Hand of Void fused with Lin Yi’s right hand, letting him annihilate low-tier skills, remove buffs and status effects, and send nearby targets into the Warped Void.
• Lin Yi decided to pursue his Fifth Turn quest, advance through the Abyss Descent layers, and seek Shadow System skill books to unlock Void System spells.

• Lan Ruoxi told Lin Yi that the usual strategy would not work and began explaining an abnormal strategy based on cheating at the casino games.

Lin Yi learned that the Primordial Fire Seed was the grand prize at Cloud Top Entertainment City and planned to obtain it with Cheng Xiao’s help. He assembled a five-person team for the Dungeon, leaving Shenxiao Scholars stunned when he revealed that a War God would join them.

• Lin Yi told the others that their final teammate was a War God, stunning nearby Shenxiao Scholars and making Feng Sanyou even more nervous.

Lin Yi and his party entered the four-Bullhead Abyss Descent Dungeon, Cloud Top Entertainment City, where its lavish hospitality concealed a casino challenge. There, Lin Yi spotted the Primordial Fire Seed and a robe that appeared to be the second piece of the Nirvana Set among the grand prizes.

• Lin Yi recruited Feng Sanyou to join the party and traveled with Cheng Xiao, Nangong Ling, and Sun Dachuan to the Abyss Descent Dungeon entrance.
• The gate revealed a four-Bullhead difficulty, and Cheng Xiao warned that gambling could be more terrifying than Abyss Descent monsters before entering first.

Lin Yi and his team settled into the luxurious Cloud Top Grand Mansion, where the hotel’s free chips and comforts were meant to draw guests into gambling. After Sarah recognized Lin Yi from an A-class wanted notice, she arrived at his door disguised as room service and opened fire with lasers.

• The woman introduced the three grand prizes, including the Tianxing Compass, and Sarah showed Lin Yi’s team to rooms V5101 through V5105.
• Cheng Xiao explained that the Dungeon’s comforts were designed to make guests lower their guard and start gambling, then took room V5101; Lin Yi and the others chose their own rooms.

• Sarah and her companion spotted Lin Yi’s face on an A-class Universal Wanted Notice offering a 300-million-Sali bounty for him, dead or alive.
• Sarah came to Lin Yi’s room claiming to be room service, then fired a barrage of laser beams through the door at his chest.

Lin Yi escaped a security raid by arranging for five criminals to be mistaken for him and his teammates, then joined the others inside Cheng Xiao’s Sumeru Realm. The group waited out the search while Lin Yi explained why he was wanted.

• Sarah tried to assassinate Lin Yi for his bounty, but her shots failed to penetrate his defense, and Lin Yi killed her with [Finger Snap].
• Lin Yi used [Touch of Reincarnation] to learn that Sarah had targeted him for the bounty and realized the security team was coming to arrest him.
• Lin Yi teleported into a room, killed five armed criminals, and used [Seventy-Two Transformations] to make them look like himself and his teammates.
• Lin Yi teleported to Cheng Xiao’s room, and Cheng Xiao moved Lin Yi and their teammates into the Sumeru Realm as security personnel stormed the rooms.
