Chapter Summaries

Meng Chuan explained how Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos awakened the Great Dao Matrix and triggered changes that led to the Land of Nonexistence, Earth, and the Chat Group. The Group Friends understood that the Chat Group was the Land of Nonexistence, but still wondered what the Land of Nonexistence was.

• Meng Chuan described how the Great Dao Matrix and Chaos first came alive at the origin of all things, then remained silent until Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos touched the Great Dao Iron Laws.
• Meng Chuan explained that Pangu could not overturn the Great Dao, but his impossible attempt awakened the Great Dao Matrix and set off an unrepeatable miraculous reaction in the Land of Nonexistence.
• Yao Chen marveled at the Great Dao Matrix's influence, while Luo Feng noted that Pangu's actions had made it possible for the twenty-one of them to gather.
• Meng Chuan connected Pangu to the origins of Primordial Heaven, the Chaos Ancient Beasts, and the Primordial Chaos Golden Ranking, and described how the Great Dao's awakening led to Earth and the Chat Group.
• The Group Friends pointed out that Meng Chuan had identified the Chat Group as the Land of Nonexistence, then asked what the Land of Nonexistence itself was.

Meng Chuan brought the Chat Group members to his home on Earth for tea and snacks, easing their confusion with a relaxed gathering. He then explained that the place that did not exist had appeared when the Great Dao first came alive and Chaos emerged.

• Meng Chuan took the others to his home on Earth, where he expanded the living room and set out a table for all twenty-one of them.
• Meng Qi conjured snacks made from Perfected Creation-level materials, and the group joked and ate together.
• Meng Chuan explained that Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos had changed the nature of the place that did not exist.
• Meng Chuan said the place had first appeared when the Great Dao arose and Chaos emerged.

Meng Chuan explained that the nonexistent place was a surplus Chaos Cycle Seed, born alongside the First Chaos Cycle but unable to become a second Chaos Sea or succeed the current one. It had changed after Pangu opened Primordial Heaven and the Escaped One seized Oneness, but it would remain unable to develop into a separate Chaos Cycle.

• Meng Chuan revealed that the place outside the Dao and Chaos Sea was a Chaos Cycle Seed that should never have taken root.
• Meng Chuan explained that the Seed could neither succeed the First Chaos Cycle nor become a second Chaos Sea because the Chaos Sea was singular and would continue to grow.
• Meng Qi lamented that the Seed could not fulfill its purpose and give them a profound connection to the Great Dao Matrix.
• The Ancient One, Ji Ning, and Meng Chuan agreed that the Seed could not replace the Chaos Sea, which would remain the foundation of all future Chaos Cycles.
• Meng Chuan concluded that the Seed and the Chaos Sea had originally been identical, declaring that the Chaos Sea was the Infinite Illusory World and the Infinite Illusory World was the Chaos Sea.

Meng Chuan explained that the Chat Group was the outward form of a second Chaos Cycle Seed, stranded in a nonexistent state beside the Chaos Sea. He revealed that the Chat Group’s mission and his Great Dao Tribulation had drawn the Great Dao into this place, though Dugu Baitian questioned how the seed could ever become a true Chaos Cycle.

• Klein asked whether Meng Chuan’s new authority as Group Leader extended to the place they were in, and Meng Chuan confirmed it did.
• Meng Chuan explained that the two Chaos Cycle Seeds had begun at the same origin point, but the other seed had grown into the Boundless Chaos Sea while this one remained nonexistent.
• Meng Qi questioned whether the dormant seed could offer them any practical benefit, and Meng Chuan said the Great Dao Tribulation might make it useful.
• Bibi Dong connected the Chat Group’s Exclusive Mission to the Great Dao Tribulation, and Meng Chuan revealed that the mission had made him Group Leader and drawn the Great Dao into this Land of No Dao.
• Meng Chuan said the seed instinctively sought to evolve into a true Chaos Cycle, but Dugu Baitian doubted it could ever replace or rival the existing Chaos Sea.

Meng Chuan explained that the Chat Group had selected him because he had the greatest chance of attaining the Primordial Unity Dao, not because it controlled his life. He ended by clarifying that his Innate Dao Nature and later experiences helped him develop Dao Shi.

• Meng Chuan said the Chaos Cycle Seed’s mission had a chance only because Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos and the Great Dao’s second birth had created a thread of hope.
• Meng Chuan revealed that the Chat Group chose him for his potential to attain the Primordial Unity Dao and made him Group Leader because it needed that Dao.
• Meng Chuan explained that the Chat Group sent him to Earth and back so the Primordial Unity Dao would have a lasting connection to that place.
• Meng Qi called the Group Leader selection rigged, while Meng Chuan teased him for failing to surpass him.
• Meng Chuan told Fei Peng and Klein that the Chat Group had invested in him and accelerated their growth but had not arranged or controlled their lives.
• Meng Chuan explained that his Dao Nature aligned with Primordial Unity and that his experiences helped him develop the Dao of Dao Shi.

Meng Chuan explained that the Chaos Cycle Seed still needed him to attain Limitless, and that its only chance to become real was to grow into a new Chaos Cycle in the past without replacing the First Chaos Cycle. He left the group with a plan to extend the same Chaos Sea farther back in time, allowing the Seed to take root before the First Chaos Cycle began.

• Meng Chuan explained that innate affinity was only a possibility shaped by a person's experiences and choices, and that his own path had allowed him to seize the Primordial Unity Dao affinity.
• Meng Chuan said the Chaos Cycle Seed had gathered most of what it needed, but required him to attain Limitless, and he revealed that he had found a clear Limitless Path tied to the Seed.
• Meng Qi worried that Meng Chuan would have to make the Primordial Unity Dao fill the Infinite Illusory World, but Meng Chuan said he could not become its Great Dao Matrix.
• Meng Chuan explained that the Chaos Cycle Seed could neither succeed a future Chaos Cycle nor replace the First Chaos Cycle, but could try to open one in the past.
• Meng Chuan proposed carving out an extra sliver of time before the First Chaos Cycle so the Seed could take root, extending the same Chaos Sea rather than creating or replacing it.

Meng Chuan explained how the Chaos Cycle Seed might return to its original form by drawing on the Great Dao’s one opening, and why his Primordial Unity Dao had to draw in the Great Dao Matrix. Though the process promised him the Limitless Dao, Meng Chuan remained hesitant about going through with it.

• Meng Chuan told Meng Qi and the others that only the Great Dao’s escaping Oneness gave the Chaos Cycle Seed a slim chance to return to its original form.
• Meng Qi questioned how such a mysterious transformation could work, and Meng Chuan said no one could fully understand the Great Dao Matrix or its opening.
• Lu Mingfei asked why Meng Chuan’s advancement to Limitless was necessary if the Great Dao Matrix would lead the process.
• Meng Chuan explained that his Primordial Unity Dao would draw the Great Dao Matrix into the dead, still place and temporarily support the Chaos Cycle Seed as he attained the Limitless Dao.
• Meng Chuan considered the immense rewards of opening a Chaos Cycle but hesitated over whether to help the Chaos Cycle Seed realize its goal.

Meng Chuan hesitated over whether to use Primordial Unity to draw in the Great Dao Matrix and create another Chaos Cycle, fearing the unknown risks to the entire Chaos Sea. He then revealed that Pangu was behind the Villain Chat Group, leaving him with three Limitless-level enemies.

• Meng Chuan withheld his greatest concern about creating another Chaos Cycle, which could endanger not only him but the entire Chaos Sea and its countless living beings.
• Meng Chuan decided to wait before choosing whether to draw in the Great Dao Matrix, since the Chat Group needed time to stabilize the Dao Seeds it had absorbed.
• Zhang Sanfeng and The Ancient One encouraged Meng Chuan to take his time deciding, as waiting would not reduce the chance of success.
• Meng Chuan asked the group to identify the Villain Chat Group's mastermind, and they guessed Pangu.
• Meng Chuan confirmed that Pangu was behind the Villain Chat Group and counted him alongside the Demon of the Dao's Opposition and the Chaos Heavenly Emperor as his three Limitless-level enemies.

Meng Chuan explained that Pangu had created the Villain Chat Group after glimpsing information about the Chaos Cycle Seed during Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos. He concluded that Pangu’s counterfeit could imitate the true Chat Group through their tenuous connection, but remained vastly inferior to it.

• Meng Chuan connected Pangu to the Villain Chat Group and explained that the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix’s anomalies during their Great Dao Tribulation supported that connection.
• Meng Chuan recalled that Pangu had gained more than the other Limitless Ones when he opened Primordial Chaos and likely glimpsed the Chaos Cycle Seed.
• Meng Chuan explained that Pangu saw the Seed as a way to make his doomed path of replacing the Great Dao viable.
• Meng Chuan said Pangu created a counterfeit manifestation after catching the escaping Oneness, and it later took the form of the Villain Chat Group.
• Meng Chuan concluded that the Villain Chat Group carried only a trace of the true Chat Group’s aura and was destined to be inferior.

Meng Chuan and the others discussed how Pangu’s Villain Chat Group was connected to the Chat Group and might have been created to give Pangu a chance to return. They believed Pangu could reappear when the Chaos Cycle Seed became a Chaos Cycle and the Great Dao changed again.

• Meng Chuan explained that the Villain Chat Group wanted to devour the Chat Group, but its nature prevented it from truly becoming the same kind of existence.
• Bibi Dong and Meng Qi reflected on how Pangu’s opening of primordial chaos had shaped the events surrounding both Chat Groups.
• Zhong Yue asked what Pangu could gain from the Villain Chat Group after his death, and Meng Chuan suggested it might be a way for him to return.
• Yang Jian connected Pangu’s possible return to the Great Dao’s next change, when the Chaos Cycle Seed became a Chaos Cycle.
• Ji Ning suggested Pangu had created the Villain Chat Group to control the Chaos Cycle Seed and preserve his chance to return, while Lu Mingfei questioned why the group had sent the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix to face the Great Dao Tribulation.

Meng Chuan and the Group Members discussed the Villain Chat Group, Pangu, and the uncertain prospect of recreating Chaos, while Meng Chuan reflected on changes to Earth and his former home. After the gathering ended, he remained behind, pondering the Chaos Cycle and what lay beyond Limitless.

• Meng Chuan explained that he had inferred the connection between the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Phoenix, and the Villain Chat Group, but the Group Members could not act against it while Pangu remained dead and elusive.
• Meng Chuan observed that his Great Dao Tribulation had made Earth slightly more real and that the person he had guided had helped advance human civilization.
• Meng Qi teased Meng Chuan about his former residential compound becoming a coveted place to live because an Immortal had once lived there.
• Meng Chuan told Zhang Sanfeng that the True Martial Emperor should agree to sever his connection with Zhang Sanfeng as a Projection.
• Bibi Dong asked how long the Chaos Cycle Seed would take to perfect the Dao Seed, and Meng Chuan said it should not take too long.
• The Group Members ended their gathering, and Meng Chuan stayed behind, lost in thought about the Chaos Cycle, the Great Dao, and Beyond Limitless.

Meng Chuan visited the True Martial Emperor and asked him to sever his connection to Zhang Sanfeng, who then became independent and attained Great Luo. The chapter ended with the Chat Group gaining another Great Luo.

• Meng Chuan visited the True Martial Emperor, and the two formed a friendly relationship while discussing the Great Dao Tribulation.
• Meng Chuan asked the True Martial Emperor to sever his connection to Zhang Sanfeng, and True Martial agreed without making demands.
• Zhang Sanfeng arrived at the True Martial Daoist Grounds, thanked True Martial, and had their connection cleanly severed.
• Freed from True Martial's restraints, Zhang Sanfeng began attaining Great Luo through his own Dao.
• Zhang Sanfeng successfully attained the Dao under Meng Chuan and True Martial's watch, becoming another Great Luo in the Chat Group.

Zhang Sanfeng attained Great Luo with help from the True Martial Emperor, then returned to the Chat Group to share the news. Meng Chuan set out to resolve the remaining dangers facing the group’s projected members.

• Zhang Sanfeng thanked the True Martial Emperor for helping him attain the Dao, and Meng Chuan congratulated him on reaching Great Luo.
• Meng Chuan and Zhang Sanfeng stayed at the True Martial Emperor’s Daoist Grounds before bidding him farewell and heading home.
• Zhang Sanfeng announced his breakthrough in the Chat Group and showed off his new Great Luo title.
• Meng Chuan traveled to find the remaining projected members and resolved their hidden dangers.

After freeing the Chat Group members from their Projection origins, Meng Chuan returned to the Shrouding the Heavens World and weighed the danger of drawing the Great Dao Matrix into a new Chaos Cycle. He realized that the Matrix could also show him a clear path for advancing the Primordial Unity Dao beyond Limitless, though he still had to discover whether he could follow it.

• The Chat Group members failed to attain Great Luo after being freed, but they became wholly independent and no longer vulnerable to influence from their Root Sources.
• Meng Chuan returned to the Shrouding the Heavens World and withdrew to his Daoist Grounds to consider the Chat Group’s secrets and future plans.
• Meng Chuan recognized that drawing in the Great Dao Matrix could assimilate him, but his position as Group Leader and master of the Chaos Cycle Seed could help protect him.
• Meng Chuan saw that the Great Dao Matrix offered a model for raising every part of the Primordial Unity Dao and advancing beyond Limitless.
• Meng Chuan understood the path ahead for the Primordial Unity Dao but remained uncertain whether he could walk it.

Meng Chuan realized that the Great Dao Matrix and the other Dao masters had blocked his path to Beyond Limitless, but the coming opening of a new Chaos Cycle might give him a rare chance to overcome that barrier. He considered how he might use the Matrix’s full assault to master every Great Dao, while recognizing the plan’s dangers and the threat it would pose to those close to him.

• Meng Chuan concluded that the Great Dao Matrix and existing Dao masters made it impossible for him to raise every part of his Primordial Unity Dao to the Great Dao Matrix’s level through ordinary means.
• Meng Chuan realized that the Chaos Cycle Seed, the opening of a new Chaos Cycle, and his connection to the Chat Group might create a chance for him to attain Beyond Limitless.
• Meng Chuan saw that the Great Dao Matrix’s full assault could let him glimpse every Great Dao without the usual restrictions or interference from other Dao masters.
• Meng Chuan recognized that glimpsing the Daos would not mean mastering them, and that he would need to escape the Matrix’s assault before it assimilated him.
• Meng Chuan understood that pursuing Beyond Limitless could bring immense risks and would endanger his companions, while merely seeking Limitless would be far safer.

Meng Chuan weighed whether to pursue the slender chance of reaching Beyond Limitless when the new Chaos Cycle opened, and decided to prepare before choosing. He told Ruthless he had found a certain path to the Limitless Realm and promised he would soon be able to fulfill his promise to her.

• Meng Chuan considered the risks of pursuing Beyond Limitless through the Great Dao's Sliver and the new Chaos Cycle, then decided to develop a method and prepare before making his choice.
• Meng Chuan left his Heaven and Earth, wandered through the Origin Dao Realm, and entered Ruthless's Heaven and Earth to speak with her.
• Meng Chuan told Ruthless he had found a reliable way to advance to the Limitless Realm, though he would have to wait for the Chaos Cycle to open.
• Meng Chuan explained that the Great Dao Matrix and the power he would gain from opening the new Chaos Cycle would together let him break through the Limitless Barrier.
• Meng Chuan promised Ruthless that once he attained the Limitless Realm, he would fulfill the promise he had made to her long ago.

Meng Chuan told Ruthless that he had glimpsed a chance to advance Beyond Limitless but was unsure whether to pursue it, so they walked through their homeland together. As they revisited the mortal world and recalled the past, Meng Chuan reflected on how time and his rising realm had changed him.

• Meng Chuan told Ruthless that the Great Dao Tribulation had revealed both his Limitless Path and an uncertain opportunity to advance Beyond Limitless.
• Ruthless suggested that Meng Chuan take a walk to clear his thoughts, and the two left together.
• Ye Fan watched Meng Chuan and Ruthless depart and smiled at their closeness.
• Meng Chuan and Ruthless walked through a living planet in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands Universe, reflecting on how generations had changed while the universe endured.
• Meng Chuan pointed out where he had first arrived on the Ancient Star and recalled being discovered and pursued.
• Meng Chuan and Ruthless continued through the bustling mortal world, sharing memories and thoughts about the past, present, and future.

Meng Chuan and Ruthless visited the deepest part of Kunlun, where Ruthless’s Brother had died, as they awaited his resurrection. After their travels, Meng Chuan shared what he had learned with Ye Fan and the others, then secluded himself to seek a path beyond Limitless and await the Chaos Cycle Seed.

• Meng Chuan and Ruthless explored Kunlun and visited the place where Ruthless’s Brother had died.
• Meng Chuan recalled the Feathered Divine Dynasty’s sacrifice of Ruthless’s Brother in pursuit of immortality.
• Meng Chuan told Ruthless he had found his answer and left Kunlun with her.
• Meng Chuan and Ruthless continued their travels before returning to the Origin Dao Realm.
• Meng Chuan explained his situation to Ye Fan and the others, then entered seclusion to pursue Beyond Limitless and await the Dao Seed.

After emerging from seclusion, Meng Chuan prepared to open a new Chaos Cycle and attempt to attain Limitless, with help from his allies. He told Ye Fan and the others that he had a plan to reach Beyond Limitless, leaving them worried that the attempt might separate them permanently.

• Meng Chuan gathered Ye Fan and the others and announced that he was ready to open a new Chaos Cycle and pursue Limitless.
• Meng Chuan invited the Origin Ancestor, Fang Han, and Jiang Nan to help, and each agreed.
• Meng Chuan decided to act immediately rather than wait for his allies to grow stronger, since delay could give the Villain Chat Group time to catch up.
• Ye Fan asked whether Meng Chuan had a way to reach Beyond Limitless, and Meng Chuan said his plan had some chance of success.
• Chu Feng and the others urged Meng Chuan to protect himself, and he told them to take care of themselves if he pursued Beyond Limitless.

Meng Chuan prepared Earth as the Dao Seed and began opening a new Chaos Cycle. After moving Earth’s inhabitants to a duplicate planet for safety, he merged with the Dao Seed and retreated with the Chaos Cycle Seed toward the source of all things.

• Meng Chuan brought Shi Hao and the others to the Chaos Primordial Point, then entered the Chaos Cycle Seed alone while they waited outside.
• Meng Chuan recognized Earth as the Dao Seed because it held the Dao borrowed from the Great Dao Matrix.
• Meng Chuan created a duplicate Earth and transferred every living creature, ruin, and artifact onto it without their knowledge.
• Meng Chuan sent the duplicate Earth to Ye Fan in the Chaos Sea and instructed him to take care of its inhabitants.
• Meng Chuan merged with Earth, strengthened the Dao Seed with his Primordial Unity Dao, and began the new Chaos Cycle.
• The Chaos Cycle Seed retreated with Meng Chuan toward the Root Source and the beginning of all things.
