Qin Hao decided to postpone exploring the Heaven and Earth Island and prepared to return to Star Sea Heaven and Earth with two Space Crystals. As he left the island, Flame Dragon Demon Venerable and three other Ancestral Gods arrived and identified him.

Qin Hao escaped his pursuers by activating a concealed Ancient Teleportation Array that led to a dangerous Heaven and Earth Island in the Ancient Heavensea Ruins. The four pursuers decided to wait for stronger reinforcements and ordered Spiritual Energy Daoist to enter the array and track Qin Hao.

• Qin Hao used the Primordial Feathered Wings to reach and activate the hidden Ancient Teleportation Array, vanishing from his pursuers' sight.

Flame Dragon Demon Venerable sent Spiritual Energy Daoist to Heaven and Earth Island to watch Qin Hao, while the four Venerables waited outside the Ancient Teleportation Array. Inside the island, Qin Hao fled from the beasts and realized his enemies knew the true names and significance of his treasures, leaving him to suspect they were tied to the Spirit Venerable’s plan to reshape the Origin World.

• Flame Dragon Demon Venerable threatened Spiritual Energy Daoist into traveling to Heaven and Earth Island, giving him a Storage Star Ring before sending him through the Ancient Teleportation Array.

• Qin Hao realized the four Venerables knew his Primordial Feathered Wings and Supreme Sword Tower by other names and had likely known he possessed them since Star Sea Heaven and Earth.
• Qin Hao suspected the Primordial Feathered Wings and Supreme Sword Tower were connected to the Spirit Venerable’s plan to reshape the Origin World.

Qin Hao searched the outskirts of Heaven and Earth Island for a teleportation array while avoiding its powerful beasts and worrying about the pursuers who could track him. He encountered Lord Xuren, who recognized him and fled in fear, asking whether Qin Hao had killed Chen Chengxiu.

• Qin Hao decided to leave Heaven and Earth Island as soon as possible and searched for an Ancient Teleportation Array that could take him toward the outskirts of the Ancient Heavensea Ruins.
• Qin Hao killed a half-step Ancestral God Fierce Beast, collected a Blue-Violet Sky Orchid, and found several more treasures while searching the island’s outskirts.
• Qin Hao sensed an Ancestral God ahead and followed the cultivator, reasoning that the person was unlikely to be one of Old Devil Lie Kong’s group.
• Qin Hao caught up with Lord Xuren, and they recognized each other with surprise.
• Lord Xuren fled from Qin Hao and shouted a question about whether Qin Hao had killed Chen Chengxiu.

Qin Hao pursued Lord Xuren across Heaven and Earth Island, refusing to spare him unless he knew how to leave. Their chase revealed a colossal city inhabited by Ancestral Gods, but Qin Hao struck Lord Xuren down before he could reach it.

• Qin Hao chased Lord Xuren and demanded information about an Ancient Teleportation Array that led off the island.
• Lord Xuren claimed there was no such array and tried to escape while Qin Hao attacked him with the Heavenly Abyss Sword.
• Lord Xuren used the force of Qin Hao’s attack to speed away, but Qin Hao followed with another sword strike.
• Lord Xuren and Qin Hao spotted a colossal city in the distance, with Ancestral Gods gathered near its walls.
• Lord Xuren fled toward the city, hoping to survive, but Qin Hao’s Galaxy Sword Radiance pierced his back.

Qin Hao appeared to kill Lord Xuren, but sensed strange temporal power above the Heaven and Earth Island and discovered Lord Xuren had secretly survived in an Armored Beetle. When Qin Hao tested the sky, an invisible barrier repelled him, leaving Lord Xuren horrified that the entire island might be enclosed.

• Lord Xuren feigned defeat and appeared to die after Qin Hao repeatedly pierced him with the Heavenly Abyss Sword.
• Qin Hao searched the area, found he could control only a small range of law threads, and sensed crimson light filled with dense Power of Time above the island.
• Lord Xuren revealed that part of his divine soul was hidden in an Armored Beetle beneath his corpse, which Qin Hao could detect through the Heaven and Earth Rule Power.
• Qin Hao flew about one million meters into the sky and struck an invisible barrier, but it repelled him and sent him back down.
• Lord Xuren realized the barrier might enclose the entire Heaven and Earth Island and was horrified.

Qin Hao killed Lord Xuren after exposing his disguise and trapping him with the Heaven and Earth Rules. Unable to escape through the sky and uncertain where he had been transported, Qin Hao flew toward the enormous city to seek answers and a way out.

• Lord Xuren realized that the barrier above Heaven and Earth Island prevented anyone from flying away and suspected the enormous city held people trapped there, including Ancestral Gods.
• Qin Hao revealed that he had discovered Lord Xuren hiding inside the Armored Beetle and used the Heaven and Earth Rules to trap him.
• Lord Xuren crashed into the invisible cage, and Qin Hao's sword radiance cleaved the Armored Beetle in two, killing Lord Xuren's divine soul.
• Qin Hao collected Lord Xuren's Storage Star Ring and treasures, finding that Lord Xuren had gathered over twenty kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
• Qin Hao concluded that the Power of Time above was impossible to break through and wondered whether he was truly on Heaven and Earth Island or somewhere else.
• Qin Hao resolved to leave and flew toward the enormous city, whose walls rose nearly one million meters toward the sky.

Qin Hao entered Great Luo City to learn where he was and find a way out before the Power of Time endangered Star Sea Heaven and Earth. After discovering that Great Luo Coins contained the Power of Time, he realized they were connected to the strange sensation he had felt.

• Qin Hao hurried toward the enormous city, noted the powerful cultivators entering it, and saw that its gate bore the name Great Luo City.
• Qin Hao entered the city and found its streets crowded with stalls selling unfamiliar treasures to True Gods and Ancestral Gods.
• A young One-Star Ancestral God bought Formless Spirit Bamboo from a Two-Star Ancestral God for a hundred thousand Great Luo Coins.
• Qin Hao sensed the intense Power of Time in the coins and, as the crowd dispersed, figured out what had caused his inexplicable sensation.

Qin Hao explored Great Luo City and questioned an inn attendant about the strange world he had entered. He sensed a powerful seven-star Ancestral God inside a nearby building and remained wary as he sampled the inn’s food.

• Qin Hao continued through Great Luo City, troubled by the feeling that the real people and objects around him were somehow illusory.
• Qin Hao went to the Great Luo Inn to gather information and learned that Great Luo Coins were the city’s currency.
• Qin Hao asked the attendant where Great Luo City was, and the attendant said it stood at the center of the world and could be reached from any direction.
• Qin Hao considered whether the attendant knew about Heaven and Earth Island, while estimating the city held hundreds of thousands of powerful cultivators.
• Qin Hao sensed seven-star Ancestral God pressure coming from a magnificent building and quickly withdrew his attention.
• The attendant served Qin Hao the inn’s specialties, and Qin Hao was surprised by how delicious the food tasted.

Qin Hao investigated Great Luo City and found its residents knew nothing of the world beyond it and had no desire to leave, while the City Lord’s Manor seemed tied to the city’s uncanny nature. After spending the night watching the manor, he awoke to find Great Luo City had vanished and a forest stood in its place.

• Qin Hao refined the divine strength and origin matter in his meal, then paid the waiter with a spirit herb to answer his questions.
• The waiter admitted he knew only Great Luo City, had never considered leaving, and revered the City Lord’s Manor.
• Qin Hao concluded the city was deeply strange and suspected the City Lord’s Manor was connected to it; he decided to watch the manor and search for an Ancient Teleportation Array.
• Qin Hao spent the night in a room overlooking the City Lord’s Manor and planned to continue searching at daybreak.
• Qin Hao woke to growls and roars and discovered that Great Luo City and the Great Luo Inn had vanished, replaced by a forest.

Qin Hao discovered that he had been sent back to the wilderness outside Great Luo City, where Lord Xuren had returned despite being killed the day before. He suspected that time was repeating itself, and his observations of the city gate strengthened that suspicion.

• Qin Hao killed a familiar Saber-Toothed Tiger and realized he had appeared in the wilderness where he had first arrived on Heaven and Earth Island.
• Qin Hao encountered Lord Xuren, who did not remember their previous fight, and killed him again; Qin Hao then found that Lord Xuren's Storage Star Rings had reappeared.
• Qin Hao reached Great Luo City and concluded that time, rather than a powerful expert, had transported him back to the wilderness.
• Qin Hao waited at the city gate until the cloaked Burly Man he had seen the previous day arrived and entered the city.

Qin Hao discovered that Heaven and Earth Island reset to the same day, restoring the dead and erasing others’ memories while he retained his own. He suspected his self-world was protecting his memories, and set out to determine why he remained partly unaffected by the Time Loop.

• Qin Hao returned to Great Luo City and confirmed that the Formless Spirit Bamboo sale and the city’s residents’ actions repeated exactly as they had the day before.
• Qin Hao realized that the Saber-Toothed Tiger, Lord Xuren, and the Cloaked Man had all returned, while nobody but him appeared to remember the previous day.
• Qin Hao concluded that he too was trapped in the Time Loop but had retained his memories, and he wondered whether the City Lord’s Manor had a role in it.
• Qin Hao fully activated the Heavenly Derivation Book and his Epoch Set to investigate why he could resist the loop, despite the heavy drain on his Ancestral God Power.
• Qin Hao found that the treasures he had placed in his self-world remained, although Lord Xuren’s Storage Star Ring had disappeared, and suspected his self-world shielded his memories from the island’s Power of Time.

Qin Hao discovered that the Time Loop spread outward from the City Lord's Manor and realized his self-world's world spirit kept his awareness intact when the loop pulled him in. He remained trapped within the loop, however, and began considering how to escape its control.

• Qin Hao watched the City Lord's Manor as the Time Loop began at dawn, making nearby Half-Step Ancestral Gods vanish while leaving the world's Laws unchanged.
• Qin Hao observed the loop spreading from the City Lord's Manor and wondered whether the Seven-Star Ancestral Gods inside knew about or had created it.
• The Time Loop reached Qin Hao and transported him to the forest where he had slain the Saber-Toothed Tiger.
• Qin Hao learned that his six doppelgangers sensed the loop through his self-world's world spirit, which blocked the loop from entering and preserved his self-awareness.
• Qin Hao concluded that his consciousness could still eventually fall into the loop and resolved to find a way to break free.

Qin Hao searched Heaven and Earth Island for an Ancient Teleportation Array that could take him out of the Time Loop, avoiding a confrontation with the City Lord's Manor. After half a month of searching, he found no array and encountered the Spiritual Energy Daoist, whose presence raised questions about whether he was affected by the loop.

• Qin Hao decided to search for an Ancient Teleportation Array rather than attack the City Lord's Manor, where Seven-Star Ancestral Gods might be waiting.
• Qin Hao searched the dense forest while Lord Xuren followed him, unaware of the previous loops, but Qin Hao ignored him because he would revive the next day.
• Qin Hao repeated his search in different directions each day as the Time Loop reset everyone else to their usual actions.
• After half a month, Qin Hao had searched the dense forest and fought several Ancient Ferocious Beasts but found no Ancient Teleportation Array.
• Qin Hao flew beyond the forest and encountered the Spiritual Energy Daoist alone, then wondered whether the Daoist had spent half a month on Heaven and Earth Island and was affected by the Time Loop.

Qin Hao learned that the Flame Dragon Demon Venerable and three others had sent the Spiritual Energy Daoist into Heaven and Earth Island to watch him while they waited for two powerful Ancestral Gods. After letting the Spiritual Energy Daoist leave with his life, Qin Hao preserved the man's gathered treasures in his self-world and wondered what force united the six Ancestral Gods.

• The Spiritual Energy Daoist told Qin Hao that the Flame Dragon Demon Venerable and the other three had forced him into the Ancient Teleportation Array to keep watch, and that he meant no harm.
• The Spiritual Energy Daoist revealed that the Flame Dragon Demon Venerable, True Person Wu Zhu, the Phantom Baleful Poisoness, and Old Devil Lie Kong were waiting for Stone Venerable and True Person Boundless, who might be able to explore Heaven and Earth Island.
• Qin Hao realized the four were still pursuing the Primordial Feathered Wings and Supreme Sword Tower and might have a way to overcome the Time Loop.
• Qin Hao let the Spiritual Energy Daoist leave after he handed over five or six spirit herbs and medicinal plants.
• Qin Hao stored the treasures in his self-world so they would not vanish, then considered whether the six Ancestral Gods belonged to one faction or had joined forces.

Qin Hao gave up searching for the Ancient Teleportation Array after months of failure and turned to investigating the Time Loop’s connection to Great Luo City Lord’s Manor. Suspecting a Time Crystal was involved, he trained his Time Doppelganger and prepared to experience the loop’s arrival.

• Qin Hao confirmed that Spiritual Energy Daoist had no memory of their previous meeting and let him go, knowing that killing people trapped in the loop would accomplish nothing.
• After searching all the nearby areas for more than half a year without finding the Ancient Teleportation Array, Qin Hao decided to investigate Great Luo City Lord’s Manor as the likely source of the loop.
• Qin Hao observed the manor from inns in Great Luo City and had his six doppelgangers cultivate the island’s dense Power of Time.
• Qin Hao suspected a Time Crystal lay inside the manor, while Lingxiaozi suggested that the Time Doppelganger might eventually learn to resist or control the loop.
• Qin Hao returned five doppelgangers to his self-world and stayed at the inn with his Time Doppelganger as the Time Loop began again around the City Lord’s Manor.

Qin Hao discovered evidence that a Time Crystal in Great Luo City's City Lord's Manor was connected to the Time Loop, and resolved to keep cultivating and studying it. A sickly Red-Robed Youth remained unchanged when the loop reset the city and waited with growing anticipation for the figure in the gray-blue Daoist Robe.

• Qin Hao and his time doppelganger sensed time, space, destruction, and earth fluctuations from the City Lord's Manor, then concluded that a Time Crystal there was likely linked to the Time Loop.
• Qin Hao confirmed that he and his time doppelganger retained their cultivation through the loop, and decided to focus on cultivating and comprehending the loop rather than entering the dangerous manor.
• In Great Luo City, a sickly Red-Robed Youth dismissed his maid and lamented that his periods of wakefulness were lengthening as his injuries worsened.
• The Red-Robed Youth noticed a figure in a gray-blue Daoist Robe enter the city and watched him from the pavilion.
• When the Time Loop reset Great Luo City at dawn, the Red-Robed Youth alone stayed in place and anticipated the next day while looking toward the city gate.

A red-robed youth discovered that Qin Hao was changing his behavior and growing stronger despite Great Luo City’s Time Loop. After observing him for thirty-two days, the youth sent a maid to bring Qin Hao to him, leaving Qin Hao to follow her and meet another person apparently unaffected by the loop.

• The Red-Robed Youth watched a man in a Gray-Blue Daoist Robe consciously take a different street, revealing that he could deviate from Great Luo City’s repeated routine.
• Over thirty-two days, the Red-Robed Youth observed the man change direction five times toward the City Lord's Manor and sensed his aura growing stronger.
• Qin Hao hurried to Great Luo City while reflecting on his doppelgangers’ progress and his inability to escape the Time Loop.
• A maid stopped Qin Hao and said her young master had observed him for thirty-two days.
• Qin Hao asked who the maid’s young master was, then agreed to follow her.

Qin Hao met Jiang Han, the missing senior disciple of Windshadow Goddess, in Prisoner World and learned that Jiang Han was also unaffected by the time loop. Jiang Han revealed that he recognized Qin Hao through the Epoch Set, then broke down upon learning Windshadow Goddess had vanished while searching for him.

• Qin Hao followed the maid to the third floor, where he met a pale young man in red robes who was unaffected by the time loop.
• Qin Hao recognized the young man as Senior Brother Jiang, and Jiang Han realized Qin Hao was a disciple of Windshadow Goddess.
• Qin Hao explained that Phantom Shadow True God had accepted him on their teacher's behalf and that Windshadow Goddess had disappeared while searching for Jiang Han.
• Jiang Han recognized the Epoch Set Qin Hao wore and revealed that he had seen it before leaving the Qiankun Sect.
• Jiang Han called the island Prisoner World, then spat out blood after hearing that Windshadow Goddess was still missing.

Qin Hao learned from Jiang Han about the Prisoner World’s awakening periods and the cultivators trapped in its Time Loop. Jiang Han revealed that the loop began at the City Lord’s Manor, where a Time Divine Heart lay, but a Seven-Star Ancestral God guarded the entrance.

• Jiang Han told Qin Hao that Lord Wuhua had explained the Prisoner World and had eventually become lost in the Time Loop.
• Jiang Han explained that he had entered the Prisoner World through a temporal vortex after encountering Outer Realm Demon Spirits near the Ancient Heavensea Ruins.
• Jiang Han told Qin Hao that cultivators awakened for a hundred days every hundred eras, but repeated exposure to the Time Loop could end their awakenings forever.
• Jiang Han explained that the Power of Time surrounding Heaven and Earth Island prevented anyone from escaping, even during an awakening period.
• Jiang Han told Qin Hao that the Time Loop began at the City Lord’s Manor, where a Seven-Star Ancestral God had discovered a Time Divine Heart but failed to overcome the manor’s defenses.

Qin Hao learned that the Time Divine Heart created Heaven and Earth Island’s Time Loop, and that escaping might require catching the brief moment when it absorbed chaos currents while resisting the seven-star ancestral gods in the City Lord’s Manor. After Qin Hao revealed that he retained his consciousness and memories through the loop, Jiang Han saw new hope.

• Jiang Han told Qin Hao that the Time Divine Heart controlled the Time Loop trapping Heaven and Earth Island and was likely connected to the Time Crystal.
• Jiang Han explained that the Time Divine Heart absorbed chaos currents once every epoch, creating a gap of roughly one breath that might offer a chance to escape.
• Qin Hao and Jiang Han concluded that an escapee would also have to withstand interference from the seven-star ancestral gods in the City Lord’s Manor.
• Qin Hao told Jiang Han that he had entered Prisoner World less than a year earlier through the Ancient Teleportation Array.
• Qin Hao revealed that although he was in the Time Loop, his consciousness remained free and he kept his memories while cultivating each day.

Qin Hao explained that his unusual secret art let him and his six doppelgangers remain conscious through the Time Loop, thanks to the world spirit of his self-world. He tried to bring Jiang Han into that world for protection, but the Prisoner World's Power of Time repelled him, leaving Jiang Han trapped in the loop.

• Jiang Han asked how Qin Hao could remain conscious within the Time Loop, and Qin Hao said his self-world's world spirit protected him and his doppelgangers.
• Qin Hao realized that people and possessions inside his self-world were unaffected by the Time Loop and proposed bringing Jiang Han inside.
• Jiang Han cooperated as Qin Hao tried to draw him into the self-world, but a surge of the Power of Time made the world reject him.
• Jiang Han explained that he and Lord Wuhua had already failed to use inner worlds to escape the Time Loop, and Qin Hao accepted that he could not protect Jiang Han this way.

Jiang Han explained how Qin Hao might escape Prisoner World during a brief opening in the Time Godheart’s cycle and warned him to keep the island’s location secret. They refined Qin Hao’s preparations, leaving him with resources and a message for their missing Senior Sister.

• Jiang Han told Qin Hao that the Time Godheart would create a brief chance to escape in about three hundred thousand years, and urged him to grow strong enough to face the seven-star Ancestral Gods guarding Great Luo City.
• Jiang Han warned Qin Hao that the Heaven and Earth Island moved if outsiders learned Prisoner World’s exact location, and advised him not to reveal its location if he escaped.
• Jiang Han and Qin Hao discussed the dangers of returning to Heavensea and agreed to work out the details later.
• Jiang Han gave Qin Hao a wooden box for their Senior Sister and a Storage Star Ring containing more than seven million Great Luo Coins, while cautioning him about attracting the City Lord’s Manor’s scrutiny.
• Jiang Han and Qin Hao refined the escape plan, then shared a meal and wine as Jiang Han marveled at Qin Hao’s talent and rapid cultivation.
