Meng Chuan offered the Nine-Colored Divine Stone, a Chaos Dao Treasure without Spirituality, to his Chat Group, but its supreme-level uses made it unsuitable for most of them. The group found it of little practical use and looked to Ji Ning as a possible recipient.

• Meng Chuan examined the Nine-Colored Divine Stone and regretted that it lacked the Spirituality needed to become a living being.

• Zhang Sanfeng and the others agreed that a supreme weapon would be of little use in their worlds, and the group turned toward Ji Ning as someone the stone might suit.

• Meng Chuan found that the Great Dao Matrix was clearer there than in the Chaos Sea, where each world's reflection distorted the Dao.
• Meng Chuan understood that a Supreme One's attained Dao became a True Path, while the Daos reflected in worlds were false Daos used to cultivate the true.

Meng Chuan arrived on Primordial Heaven Star, where the welcoming merchant San Bao invited him to the Three Treasures Tower and explained his trading network. San Bao also said he had helped build Primordial Heaven Star City, whose scale Meng Chuan was just beginning to learn about.

• San Bao introduced himself as a merchant and showed Meng Chuan the vast worlds and treasures inside the tower.
• San Bao told Meng Chuan that his tower had Projections throughout Primordial Heaven and that he had helped build Primordial Heaven Star City.

Meng Chuan toured San Bao’s Three Treasures Tower and learned how the merchant maintained fair dealings with peers while accumulating an immense collection. The tour ended at the ninth layer, where Meng Chuan realized just how wealthy San Bao was.

• Meng Chuan reasoned that San Bao traded fairly with Supreme Ones because reputation mattered in Primordial Heaven, where peers could hold him accountable.
• San Bao offered Meng Chuan up to three free items from the tower’s first seven floors, but Meng Chuan declined and asked to see the collection instead.

Meng Chuan explored San Bao’s Eighth Layer, where Supreme Ones consigned rare treasures for trade. He found an impractical supreme puppet and a Great Dao Fruit offered as advance payment for a dangerous expedition, and the chapter left the fruit’s seller seeking help to retrieve a tree guarded by three Chaos Ancient Beasts.

• Meng Chuan questioned the value of trading a Great Dao Fruit for help against three Chaos Ancient Beasts, and San Bao explained that such deals depended on what each party needed.

After asking more about Primordial Heaven and its powerful beings, Meng Chuan left with a fuller understanding and a warning to avoid the next tribulation if he did not intend to fight.

• Meng Chuan opened a cave abode on Primordial Chaos Star, then entered the River of Time to observe Primordial Heaven's history.
• As Meng Chuan traveled upstream, dormant Supreme Ones periodically glanced at him, and their presence kept major historical events from being changed.

Meng Chuan traveled through Primordial Heaven’s history, learning what could be seen and what remained hidden from Supreme Ones. He uncovered traces of Fangyuan and the Origin Ancestor, then found that the Great Dao Tribulation was impossible to observe and suspected Primordial Heaven held a deeper secret.

• Meng Chuan explored the past and learned that Supreme Ones’ private histories were obscured by mist, while public events such as wars and deaths remained visible.
• Meng Chuan discovered that the Supreme of Artifacts was named Fangyuan and watched his historical Imprint leave Primordial Heaven for the Chaos Sea after learning of the Origin Ancestor’s fall.

• Meng Chuan witnessed the Origin Ancestor’s visible history, including his failed attempt to transform into Limitless, and saw no external cause for the failure.

• Meng Chuan acknowledged the warning and suspected that Primordial Heaven concealed a great secret.

Meng Chuan traced history to the Origin Ancestor’s attempt to attain Chaos and learned that his revealed path was incomplete and had killed everyone else who tried it.

• Meng Chuan found that the Great Dao Tribulation was sealed off from both the past and future, then traced history back to the Origin Ancestor’s breakthrough.
• Meng Chuan watched the Origin Ancestor sacrifice everything, vanish, and return to attain Chaos, while recognizing that the path revealed in history was incomplete.
• A purple-robed figure named himself Ziwei and told Meng Chuan that every other practitioner who reached the final step of the Origin Ancestor’s path had died.
• Ziwei invited Meng Chuan to visit his Cave Abode in the Myriad Star Field and explained that the Heavenly Emperor had guided the Origin Ancestor.
• Meng Chuan suspected that the Origin Ancestor’s failed breakthrough involved more than chance after Ziwei reacted skeptically to the idea of surprises.

Meng Chuan traced Primordial Heaven’s history, studying the Origin Ancestor’s rise and the origins of several Chaos Paths while speculating about the Weird Source’s influence. He witnessed three Great Dao Tribulations and discovered that Tathagata Buddha’s historical Imprint did not appear before the third.

• Meng Chuan watched the Origin Ancestor’s progression and considered how the Weird Source might have affected the Shrouding the Heavens World and its Great Dao projections.
• Meng Chuan traveled farther back through history and found that a Chaos One who had attained the Dao as a native of Primordial Heaven had died in a Great Dao Tribulation.

• Meng Chuan reached the shrouded source of Primordial Heaven's space-time and could not see beyond the first Great Dao Tribulation.
• Meng Chuan asked San Bao why some dead Chaos Existences left Imprints in history, and San Bao explained that taking another Chaos One's Dao could prevent their return permanently.
• Meng Chuan concluded that someone had wanted the Origin Ancestor and two others erased, while Guang Chengzi and the Tathagata likely had Chaos Limitless beings protecting them.

Meng Chuan learned why the Origin Ancestor and two other Chaos Ones might be prevented from returning, then confirmed that San Bao’s other Chaos Paths carried no hidden risks. He shared what he had learned about Primordial Heaven with the Chat Group and heard that Meng Qi’s world faced the Final Tribulation in a little over thirty years.

• Meng Chuan explained that Primordial Heaven offered benefits such as Fortune and stood half a rank above other worlds.
• Meng Qi said the Final Tribulation was coming to his world in a little over thirty years.

Meng Qi explained that the Yin Cao Underworld and the Apocalypse Ark could help protect living beings through the Final Tribulation, while Meng Chuan prepared to study the Chaos Path in Primordial Heaven. Meng Qi then traveled into the past and discovered that replacing the Primordial Heavenly Venerable’s imprint also made him replace the Lingbao Heavenly Venerable’s imprint.

In the Shrouding the Heavens World, Ye Fan and his allies endured a hundred thousand years of brutal war against the Weird Race, suppressing seven Weird Quasi-Immortal Emperors in the Dao Realm.

• Meng Qi understood that Primordial Heavenly Venerable and Lingbao Heavenly Venerable had fought to settle their grievances and decide who would lead the Three Pure Ones' transcendence, while Daode remained uninvolved.
