• The ashes corrupted powerful Immortal Emperors, creating the Weird Ancestors and ushering in the known order of the Myriad Worlds.

The Origin Ancestor explained that Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng were chosen to inherit portions of the Origin Ancestor’s Limitless power and eventually kill the Origin Ancestor’s shadow. Meng Chuan recognized this as the Similar Flower phenomenon and realized that its Origin Ancestor-made laws explained why Ruthless’s Brother could not be resurrected.

• The Origin Ancestor revealed that Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng would inherit primal seeds of the Origin Ancestor’s Limitless power after killing the Origin Ancestor’s shadow.
• The Origin Ancestor explained that the three’s ascent to Above Sacrificial Dao depended on their own talent, and that their inherited power would help free the Origin Ancestor.
• Meng Chuan named the connection between the Origin Ancestor and the three the Similar Flower, a phenomenon of shared Root Source without reincarnation.
• The Origin Ancestor said the Similar Flower arose from bonds he had established with those destined to kill him and had altered the Laws across Space-Time.
• Meng Chuan realized that saving Ruthless’s Brother required breaking the Similar Flower’s Origin Ancestor-made laws, and that Ye Fan was also a Similar Flower of the Origin Ancestor.

Meng Chuan learned that reviving Ruthless's Brother through Similar Flower was impossible because Ye Fan’s unique substance had fused with that of the Origin Ancestor. The Origin Ancestor warned Meng Chuan about dangers surrounding the Limitless Realm, and Meng Chuan resolved to seek out the Queen Mother of the West.

• Meng Chuan realized that Ye Fan’s connection to both Ruthless's Brother and the Origin Ancestor made reversing Similar Flower impossible, even for beings stronger than the trio of Shi Hao, Ye Fan, and Chu Feng.
• The Origin Ancestor told Meng Chuan that only Ye Fan could eventually resolve the problem, though even advancing beyond Sacrificial Dao would not yet be enough.
• The Origin Ancestor warned Meng Chuan that ancient Near-Limitless Ones might avoid entering the Limitless Realm because of dangers and conflicts among its inhabitants.
• Meng Chuan recalled the Golden Emperor’s failed attempt to contend for the Dao Fruit and considered how different circumstances might have allowed her to succeed.

• The Dao Venerable said every Chaos One he had met fell far short of Meng Chuan.
• The Origin Ancestor said no Chaos One he knew, not even his former self, could surpass Meng Chuan, though ancient beings beyond his experience might be stronger.
• The Origin Ancestor opened his mind so Meng Chuan could examine his memories and past experiences.
• When Meng Chuan's power touched the Origin Ancestor's life, the living Origin Ancestor briefly appeared, then vanished as his shadow returned.

• Meng Chuan stopped in the River of Time and saw the Sacred Ruins realm of space-time manifest, with its living beings and wonders.

Meng Chuan examined the fixed Sacred Ruins future and saw that the Chat Group had anchored it as a shadow future alongside the true future. After reaching the Near-Limitless realm, he glimpsed that the Chat Group was an outer shell for a deeper, still-maturing essence, though its ultimate secret remained unknown.

• Meng Chuan saw that the Sacred Ruins Era remained fixed as a shadow future even after the Weird were wiped out, while a separate true future could also unfold.

• Meng Chuan shared what he had learned about the Chat Group, and the members discussed how its restrictions had helped them build trust.

• Ji Ning asked whether Meng Chuan knew how to reach Limitless, and Meng Chuan said he did not.
• Meng Chuan explained that a Near-Limitless Being’s Dao had spread across nearly the entire Chaos Sea, unlike the Dao of a newly entered Chaos One.

He planned to remain in the Shrouding the Heavens World briefly before traveling to Primordial Heaven to investigate its origins and the Great Dao Tribulation.

• Meng Chuan explained that his Primordial Unity Dao combined many Daos as equals, unlike other Chaos Ones' Daos, which unfolded from a single primary Dao.

Meng Chuan returned to Shi Hao and Ye Fan, then went to Ruthless to explain that he still could not revive her brother because the Similar Flower was tied to forces beyond his reach. Ruthless accepted that no one was to blame, leaving her brother's fate unresolved.

• Meng Chuan found Shi Hao and Ye Fan arguing over whose concern he should hear first, and Ye Fan asked whether Meng Chuan could revive Ruthless's brother.
• Shi Hao yielded the matter to Ye Fan, and Meng Chuan asked both men what they thought of their future selves before leaving.

• Meng Chuan told Ruthless that Ye Fan would need to reach at least his current realm and receive help from a being beyond it to resurrect her brother.

• Meng Chuan confirmed he would leave to explore the Chaos Sea and pursue the final step to Limitless.
• Ruthless feared Meng Chuan might fail as he had during his Primordial Unity breakthrough, but Meng Chuan said he would succeed and trusted her to resurrect him if he did not.

Meng Chuan explained the Chaos Sea and its dangers to Ruthless, who was considering leaving the Shrouding the Heavens World to advance faster. He revealed that the Origin Ancestor had suppressed outside powers’ projection bodies in the world, and continued telling Ruthless about the Chaos Sea.

• Ruthless asked Meng Chuan to tell her more about the Chaos Sea, and he agreed.
• Meng Chuan thought Ruthless, Shi Hao, and Ye Fan would progress faster by cultivating in seclusion rather than venturing into the Chaos Sea.
• Meng Chuan explained that Chaos Ones could not spread their Great Daos across one another’s Daoist Grounds without provoking war.
