Chapter Summaries

Yang Jian became the first ordinary Chat Group Member to attain the Dao independently, while the Great Dao Tribulation continued to intensify. In Primordial Heaven, the Eastern King Duke’s Dao shattered under the trials, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Yang Jian attained the Dao before the Chaos Sea Yang Jian and became fully independent, marking the first ordinary Group Member to reach that level.
• Time passed as some Chaos Ones stopped watching the Great Dao Tribulation, while others grew uneasy about its extraordinary duration and escalating trials.
• Meng Chuan and the others heard a crack and saw fractures spreading across the Eastern King Duke’s True Form of the Great Dao.
• The Eastern King Duke said his strength was spent and his Dao exhausted, and his fellow Chaos Ones wished him a swift return.
• The Eastern King Duke’s Dao shattered under the calamity, while his life remained in Primordial Chaos.

The Eastern King Duke died through Dao Dissolution during the Great Dao Tribulation, leaving the other Chaos Ones to reflect on his passing. Meng Chuan doubted the tribulation would end soon and suspected the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix faced the same unusual treatment as he did.

• The Eastern King Duke lamented his impending death and considered taking another Chaos One with him, but lacked the strength to do so.
• The Eastern King Duke’s True Form of the Great Dao shattered, and he bid farewell to the other Chaos Ones before Dao Light consumed his fragments.
• The True Martial Emperor mourned the Eastern King Duke, while Medicine Buddha predicted that his death meant the Great Dao Tribulation would soon end.
• Meng Chuan silently questioned Medicine Buddha’s prediction and examined the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix’s unusual, seemingly endless tribulations.
• Meng Chuan suspected that another person like himself, a “Han Li,” was inside the Great Dao Tribulation.

Meng Chuan and the other participants continued enduring an unexpectedly prolonged Great Dao Tribulation, which kept growing more dangerous after the Eastern King Duke’s death. The Chaos Ones suspected Meng Chuan, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Ancestral Phoenix were connected to the abnormality, while the watchers outside feared another participant would die.

• Meng Chuan improved his Primordial Unity Dao during the tribulation, gaining combat strength as the Great Dao Matrix guided his progress.
• The Great Dao Tribulation continued long after the Eastern King Duke died, and its growing power made even the Chaos Ones struggle.
• City Lord Chaos demanded that Meng Chuan, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Ancestral Phoenix explain why the tribulation had not ended, but all three denied knowing the cause.
• Meng Chuan privately suspected that the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix were causing unusual tribulation variations, while they recognized that his tribulation was similar to theirs.
• The Chaos Great Powers watching from outside worried that someone would die, and one anonymous Near-Limitless Being hoped Meng Chuan would be the one.

As the Great Dao Tribulation grew stronger, the Heavenly Heart Demon God blamed Meng Chuan, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Ancestral Phoenix before dying in Dao Dissolution. His death intensified the tribulation, leaving eight of the original ten Chaos Ones alive.

• Ye Fan, Shi Hao, and Chu Feng worried that the abnormal, unusually long tribulation threatened Meng Chuan and suspected the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Phoenix had meddled with it.
• Meng Qi and the Chat Group discussed the tribulation’s abnormality and feared Meng Chuan’s mission might be causing danger for the other participants.
• The Wuliang Dao Tribulation continued to grow stronger, and Meng Chuan reasoned that the Ancestral Dragon and the Ancestral Phoenix were more responsible for the danger than he was.
• As his Dao began to shatter, the Heavenly Heart Demon God threatened Meng Chuan, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Ancestral Phoenix, then warned the others that his death would make the tribulation worse.
• The Heavenly Heart Demon God died in Dao Dissolution, and the tribulation’s killing intent and power surged, leaving eight of the ten Chaos Ones alive.

After Medicine Buddha and two other Chaos Ones died in the continuing Great Dao Tribulation, the surviving Chaos Ones abandoned suspicion of Meng Chuan and his companions. Meng Chuan then realized City Lord Chaos was nearing death as well.

• Medicine Buddha warned Meng Chuan, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Ancestral Phoenix that the prolonged Great Dao Tribulation could threaten even their lives, but they admitted they had no way to end it.
• The five Chaos Ones decided to endure their tribulations rather than attack the three Near-Limitless Beings, since fighting would likely kill them all.
• The Great Dao Tribulation continued without easing, and Medicine Buddha entered Dao Dissolution after urging the others to cooperate and survive.
• Meng Chuan reflected on City Lord Chaos's extraordinary strength and realized that City Lord Chaos was about to die too.

City Lord Chaos and Ancestral Kunpeng died in the Great Dao Tribulation, leaving only five of the ten Chaos Tier entrants alive. Meng Chuan worried that True Martial Emperor and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would be next, especially because he needed something from True Martial Emperor.

• City Lord Chaos reflected that he should not have entered the tribulation as his cracked True Form of the Great Dao began to crumble.
• Ancestral Kunpeng blamed Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix for failing to warn him that the tribulation had changed, and demanded an explanation when he returned.
• Ancestral Dragon apologized and promised to help Ancestral Kunpeng return and explain what had happened.
• City Lord Chaos and Ancestral Kunpeng died in Dao Dissolution, though City Lord Chaos's final words promised that he would be back.
• The survivors learned that only five of the ten Chaos Tier entrants remained, and Meng Chuan worried that True Martial Emperor and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva might die next.

The Great Dao Tribulation continued to threaten Meng Chuan, True Martial Emperor, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Ancestral Phoenix, while Chaos outside Primordial Heaven waited anxiously. The tribulation finally ended, leaving the survivors alive but badly injured and True Martial and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’s Great Daos already cracking.

• Meng Chuan asked the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix when the Great Dao Tribulation would end, but the Ancestral Dragon admitted they could not know.
• Meng Chuan considered the karmic burdens left by the Chaos Ones who had died and accepted that their resentment could not threaten him or his companions.
• Chaos Great Powers gathered outside Primordial Heaven as Ye Fan, Meng Qi, and the others watched the Chat Panel’s strange changes and waited for news.
• The Great Dao Tribulation slowed and dissipated, and Meng Chuan and the others’ wills swept across Primordial Heaven.
• True Martial Emperor and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva realized they had survived, though cracks had begun to form in their Great Daos.
• Meng Chuan, the Ancestral Dragon, and the Ancestral Phoenix had also suffered injuries to their Daos, but the tribulation ended before it could kill them.

The Great Dao Tribulation eased as daylight returned to Primordial Heaven, and Meng Chuan, Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Phoenix, True Martial, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva survived. As the world began to recover, Meng Chuan questioned Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix about their unusual tribulations, but Ancestral Phoenix offered an explanation he did not believe.

• Light broke through the clouds, the tribulation's killing force faded, and Meng Chuan and the others were no longer in immediate danger.
• True Martial and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva expressed relief that the Great Dao Tribulation had ended, while Meng Chuan wondered whether Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix had imitated his ordeal.
• Meng Chuan asked Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix why they had drawn special treatment from the tribulation.
• Ancestral Phoenix claimed the Dragon-Phoenix Joint Strike Technique had caused an unusual fluctuation, but Meng Chuan thought she was lying.
• The clouds nearly dispersed, the earth settled, and a light of Primordial Chaos swept across Heaven and Earth.

As the Great Dao Tribulation ended, Meng Chuan and the other survivors discussed Pangu’s legacy and who would receive the greatest Dao Fruit. Primordial Chaos gathered around Meng Chuan and formed the Dao Tribulation Fruit, though the final outcome had not yet been declared.

• The True Martial Emperor and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva thanked Pangu for creating the Great Dao Tribulation and benefiting cultivators across the Chaos Sea.
• Meng Chuan questioned why the Great Dao Tribulation that threatened to destroy Primordial Heaven produced a Dao Fruit, and Ancestral Dragon explained that the Great Dao’s Laws allowed a sliver of life amid destruction.
• The True Martial Emperor said Meng Chuan, Ancestral Dragon, or Ancestral Phoenix were likely to receive the greatest Dao Fruit, while Ancestral Phoenix suggested it already had an owner.
• Ancestral Dragon congratulated Meng Chuan, who replied that the result was not final and everyone still had a chance.
• Primordial Chaos gathered around Meng Chuan and the others, then concentrated around Meng Chuan to form a fist-sized Dao Tribulation Fruit.

Meng Chuan survived the Great Dao Tribulation, claimed the Dao Tribulation Fruit, and faced the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix after the barrier around Primordial Heaven fell. Fang Han and the others arrived to bring him home, and the Ancestral Dragon let his unfinished remark drop.

• Meng Chuan plucked the Dao Tribulation Fruit as the Great Dao Tribulation ended, while Primordial Heaven and its surviving inhabitants bore the scars of the disaster.
• The barrier around Primordial Heaven disappeared, revealing that only five of the ten participants had survived; Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the True Martial Emperor departed to recuperate.
• The Ancestral Dragon invited Meng Chuan to the Land of Ten Thousand Gods, but Meng Chuan declined and said he might visit another time.
• Fang Han arrived with Shi Hao, Ruthless, Ye Fan, Chu Feng, and Jiang Nan to greet Meng Chuan and bring him home.
• Meng Chuan asked the Ancestral Dragon to repeat what he had been about to say, but the Ancestral Dragon replied, "Nothing..."

Meng Chuan and his companions left Primordial Heaven after Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix departed, revealing a powerful new faction to the Chaos Sea. The observers recognized the group as a new overlord, while Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix returned to the Land of Ten Thousand Gods and accepted that they could no longer challenge Meng Chuan.

• Ancestral Dragon advised Meng Chuan to rest, then he and Ancestral Phoenix left to help guide Ancestral Kunpeng back.
• Meng Chuan and his six companions departed Primordial Heaven, leaving the Chaos Ones watching them behind.
• The Chaos Ones realized Meng Chuan's faction had seven Chaos Ones, with Fang Han and the Gate of Eternal Life adding another Chaos-level power, and judged it a new overlord.
• Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix returned to the Land of Ten Thousand Gods and concluded that Meng Chuan's faction was too powerful to confront.
• Grey Mist began seeping from Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix.

Meng Chuan returned home with Ye Fan, Chu Feng, Shi Hao, and Jiang Nan after they had confronted the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix. Jiang Nan left after reaffirming his ties with the group, while Meng Chuan greeted the Origin Ancestor, who had remained hidden at home.

• Meng Chuan thanked his companions for backing him up, and Ye Fan and Chu Feng teased him about repaying them in another life.
• Shi Hao asked whether the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix had truly intended to attack Meng Chuan, who said their designs on him were clear but their final intentions remained uncertain.
• Jiang Nan explained that the confrontation had strengthened his resolve to stay close to Meng Chuan and the others, then took his leave.
• Ye Fan praised Jiang Nan for being dependable, and Meng Chuan agreed that Jiang Nan had come to help without being asked.
• Chu Feng told Meng Chuan that they had kept the Origin Ancestor at home to preserve the secrecy of his existence, and Meng Chuan exchanged greetings with him across the Space-Time of the past.

Meng Chuan recounted how the Great Dao Tribulation changed and explained that integrating the Great Dao Matrix had been more valuable to him than the Dao Tribulation Fruit. He returned with extraordinary gains but remained below the Limitless level, and he revealed that he had completed the Chat Group’s mission.

• Chu Feng asked who had benefited most from the Great Dao Tribulation and why so many powerful beings had died.
• Meng Chuan explained that his Primordial Unity Dao, along with the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix, had changed the tribulation.
• Meng Chuan said integrating the Great Dao Matrix had greatly advanced his Great Dao, while the Dao Tribulation Fruit held little value for him and could not be passed on.
• Fang Han observed that Meng Chuan had become powerful beyond the ranks of Near-Limitless Beings, though Meng Chuan noted he had not reached the Limitless level.
• Meng Chuan revealed that the Chat Group had given him a mission when he entered the Great Dao Tribulation and that he had completed it.

After surviving the Great Dao Tribulation, Meng Chuan learned that he could initiate a vote to become Chat Group Leader. He started the vote, and the Chat Group began checking members before opening it.

• Meng Chuan read the notice that completing his Exclusive Mission let him call a Group Leader vote, but losing would bar another vote until the next Chaos Cycle.
• The group told Meng Chuan that the Chat Panel had changed during his tribulation, appearing to gain a touch of life as it tracked his condition.
• Meng Chuan announced that he planned to become Group Leader, while Meng Qi and Lu Mingfei joked and threatened to oppose him.
• Luo Feng and Ji Ning urged Meng Chuan to begin the vote, and he conveyed his intent to the Chat Group.
• The Chat Group required three of the other four Administrators and nine of the other sixteen Group Members to vote yes, checked members for abnormalities, and awakened those in deep seclusion as voting began.

The Chat Group held a carefully prepared vote to choose Meng Chuan as Group Leader, while the system temporarily prevented him from speaking. Every member who voted supported him, and the chapter ended with Meng Chuan receiving unanimous approval.

• The Chat Group began the election and muted Meng Chuan for the duration of the vote.
• Meng Qi cast the first yes vote, and Daigu Madoka, The Ancient One, and Zhang Sanfeng followed.
• Lu Mingfei rallied the other members to support Meng Chuan and joked about wanting him to rein in Meng Qi.
• Bibi Dong, Yao Chen, Fei Peng, Yan Chixia, Klein, and the remaining members cast yes votes for Meng Chuan.
• The Chat Group's tally showed that Meng Chuan had received every vote.

Meng Chuan passed the Chat Group’s checks and became its first Group Leader after receiving every vote. He discovered that he could control the group’s functions and recruit or remove members, though removal still required a majority vote.

• All twenty other members voted for Meng Chuan, and the Chat Group verified the vote and his eligibility.
• The Chat Group promoted Meng Chuan from Administrator to Group Leader without any visible phenomena or changes to the worlds.
• Meng Chuan told the group that he could control existing functions, including travel between worlds, livestreams, Projections, and fishing.
• Meng Chuan explained that he could recruit new members, even selecting people from different times and places.
• Meng Chuan said he could remove a member only if more than half the group approved, and Lu Mingfei immediately volunteered someone else for expulsion.

After becoming Group Leader, Meng Chuan learned he could control the Chat Group’s functions, but he cared far more about uncovering its secrets than exercising his new authority. When The Ancient One and Bibi Dong asked where the Chat Group came from, Meng Chuan realized that his promotion had finally revealed its secrets to him.

• Meng Chuan learned that removing founding members or disbanding the Chat Group required a majority vote, while he could appoint an Administrator without a vote.
• Lu Mingfei nominated himself for the vacant Administrator position, but Meng Chuan put off deciding, and Meng Qi voted against him.
• Meng Chuan explained that his new powers would not change how the other members were treated and that he had no desire to recruit newcomers.
• The Ancient One and Bibi Dong asked Meng Chuan whether becoming Group Leader had revealed the Chat Group’s origins.
• Meng Chuan recognized that, after years of investigating, he now understood the Chat Group’s secrets.

After becoming Group Leader, Meng Chuan uncovered a connection between the Chat Group and the Infinite Illusory World where he had lived before transmigrating. He brought the entire group there to reveal what he had learned, leaving them gathered in the world as they awaited his explanation.

• Meng Chuan examined the Chat Group with his new authority and told the members that the truth lay in the Infinite Illusory World.
• Unable to teleport there without a Coordinate, Meng Chuan traveled through the Chaos Sea to the point where it overlapped with the world.
• Meng Chuan went back to the beginning of the Chaos Cycle, entered the Infinite Illusory World, and invited the group to teleport to him.
• All twenty members arrived, and they greeted Meng Chuan and joked about his becoming Group Leader.
• Meng Chuan and the others caught up, while Bibi Dong described visiting Han Li's world and undergoing its Heavenly Tribulation.

Meng Chuan explained that the Chat Group’s true nature was the Infinite Illusory World, a nonexistent realm beyond the Great Dao and Chaos. He revealed that Earth and the Chat Group arose from the upheaval of Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos.

• Meng Chuan told the group that the Infinite Illusory World was the Chat Group’s true nature, concealed behind its outward form.
• Meng Chuan explained that only Chat Group members could enter the nonexistent world, which lay beyond the Great Dao and Chaos.
• Meng Chuan said the Chaos Sea’s upheaval caused the nonexistent realm to resonate with it, turning part of the realm into Earth and giving the Chat Group its outward form.
• Meng Chuan explained that Earth’s location corresponded to the Overlap Point in the Boundless Chaos Sea, though time passed at different rates in the two realms.
• Meng Qi guessed that the upheaval was Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos, and Meng Chuan confirmed it.

Meng Chuan explained how Pangu’s attempt to open Primordial Chaos, the Chat Group’s emergence, and Earth’s history were connected across worlds with different rates of time. He revealed that the Great Dao Tribulations caused Earth’s five mass extinctions and that the Great Dao Matrix and Chaos Sea had reacted fully only twice in history.

• Meng Chuan explained that the Chat Group’s power entered the Chaos Sea when he was born and that the Villain Chat Group had emerged to replace it, but failed to find and defeat it.
• Meng Chuan said Pangu’s attempt to open Primordial Chaos had also changed the land of nonexistence and that the Great Dao Tribulations had affected Earth.
• Meng Qi asked whether Primordial Heaven’s five Great Dao Tribulations corresponded to Earth’s five mass extinctions, and Meng Chuan confirmed they did.
• Klein asked why Meng Chuan’s recent Great Dao Tribulation had caused no sixth mass extinction, and Meng Chuan explained that the Chat Group absorbed the Great Dao Matrix’s power.
• Luo Feng asked why Pangu’s actions had affected the land of nonexistence, and Meng Chuan said the Great Dao Matrix and Chaos Sea had reacted fully only when Pangu opened Primordial Chaos and when the current Chaos Cycle began.
