Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• After explaining the situation, Meng Chuan leaves the First Origin Point with Ye Fan and the others. His connection to the Origin Point will let him know when its evolution is complete, so waiting offers him little benefit.
• His departure puzzles the other Limitless Ones. Primordial Beginning speculates that Meng Chuan may be injured, drawing pointed looks from the others—and the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition—because Meng Chuan had decisively defeated the Demon.
• Nuwa and Pangu recognize Meng Chuan’s reasoning. Pangu notes that the other Limitless Ones can rely on their connection to Meng Chuan as a signal to return. He leaves with the Ancestral Dragon, Ancestral Phoenix, and other innate divinities, intending to repay those who helped restore him.
• The remaining Limitless Ones also depart, while the Chaos Ones divide between leaving and staying in hopes of gaining something from the Origin Point’s evolution.
• Pangu’s return and Meng Chuan’s rise mark the end of the Limitless Ones’ long withdrawal. The Great Dao’s restrictions on them have ended, making their renewed influence over the Chaos Sea possible.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan shows confidence and detachment: he sees no need to wait when he can return at the right moment.
• Pangu acts with gratitude toward the Ancestral Dragon and Ancestral Phoenix, acknowledging the sacrifices they made for his return. He also values their strength as allies.
• The Limitless Ones demonstrate trust in their ties to Meng Chuan, treating his return as a likely sign that the Origin Point’s evolution matters again.
• Primordial Beginning’s remark about possible injury is interpreted as a deliberate jab at the defeated Demon of the Dao’s Opposition.

Significant themes

• A new era of power: With the Limitless Ones free to reenter the world, the Chaos Sea may return to an age dominated by their rivalries and grand schemes.
• The cost of power politics: Chaos Ones fear that active Limitless Ones could trigger conflicts in which even Chaos Ones can die.
• Connection and trust: Meng Chuan’s bond with the Origin Point—and the other Limitless Ones’ bond with him—offers a practical alternative to waiting blindly.
• Gratitude and allegiance: Pangu’s return is accompanied by a personal obligation to those who helped him, as well as recognition of their value as allies.
  The chapter contrasts the relative safety Chaos Ones enjoyed while Limitless Ones stayed secluded with the dangerous, politically charged age that may now begin.

Key plot points and events

• The chapter opens by describing the dangers of Chaos upheavals. Chaos Ones generally retain their power and status, but Supreme Ones can suffer heavy losses. Those with powerful factions behind them may be resurrected; unaffiliated cultivators may be left to fend for themselves.
• With Pangu resurrected, the Great Dao Tribulations of Primordial Heaven are over forever. Meng Chuan realizes the tribulation he joined was the last—and that his role in bringing Pangu back helped end a training ground he had visited.
• Returning to the Shrouding the Heavens World, Meng Chuan immediately prepares to resurrect Ruthless’s brother, a promise he has carried since his early days. Despite all his later achievements, fulfilling it has become an all-consuming personal mission.
• Ye Fan and the others support Meng Chuan. Ye Fan, who feels responsible for Ruthless’s loss, has tried in his own way to make amends.
• When Meng Chuan tells Ruthless the resurrection is finally possible, she falls silent, overwhelmed by memories of her brother and the life they shared.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan reflects on how far he has come and how this promise has come to matter more to him than even solving the mystery of the Chat Group. His determination is rooted in affection and loyalty, not ambition.

• Loss and remembrance: Ruthless’s memories show that material comfort cannot replace the bond she lost.
• Fate, death, and resurrection: The chapter contrasts the impersonal dangers of the Chaos Sea with the deeply personal meaning of bringing one person back.
• Humor amid cosmic stakes: The narrator jokingly frames Ruthless’s brother as the true “ultimate goal” of the world, undercutting the grand scale of its usual conflicts.

Key events

• Ruthless’s life is framed in two halves: her childhood in a small mountain village, when her brother was alive, and the life she began after his death. Though she became the Ruthless Great Emperor, her deepest feelings remained bound to that lost childhood.
• Her actions toward the village’s descendants—including passing down her scriptures and giving the Yaoguang Holy Land an Emperor Weapon—reflect that attachment, not a desire to establish a conventional bloodline or legacy.
• Ruthless has pursued one overriding goal: bringing her brother back. Even when she suspected that immortality could not restore someone long dead, she continued without despair or hesitation.
• Her goals have broadened over time, but her brother’s resurrection remains her central, irreplaceable obsession.
• As the resurrection is about to begin, Ruthless struggles to contain her emotions. She calms herself, sincerely thanks Meng Chuan, and prepares for what she has long awaited.
• Meng Chuan begins the process using the Primordial Unity Limitless Dao. Ye Fan willingly opens himself—body, spirit, Origin, and Great Dao—to help. The Dao draws something mysterious from him toward the moment in the River of Time that changed Ruthless’s life.

Character developments and interactions

• Ruthless briefly reveals how deeply the prospect of reunion affects her beneath her usual composure. Her resolve remains absolute, but this moment shows her vulnerability and gratitude.
• Meng Chuan accepts her thanks and takes charge of the resurrection, signaling that its completion may give her further reason to thank him.

Significant themes

• Memory and loss: Ruthless’s emotional life remains rooted in the childhood she cannot reclaim.
• Unwavering purpose: Her devotion to her brother sustains her through immense uncertainty and hardship.
• Legacy versus personal love: To Ruthless, preserving a lineage or Dao is secondary to restoring the person she lost.
• Trust and sacrifice: Ye Fan’s complete openness to Meng Chuan’s process shows the trust and cooperation required for the resurrection.

• Ye Fan willingly exposes his True Spirit and Origin, lowering all defenses so Meng Chuan can use him in the process.
• Meng Chuan’s Primordial Unity Limitless Dao expands across the entire world and all its space-times, halting time and enveloping the world in brilliant light.
• The Dao connects Meng Chuan, Ye Fan, Ruthless, the Origin Ancestor, and the world in a cycle centered on Kunlun Mountain in the Desolate Ancient Era. Meng Chuan clears away everyone there except Ruthless’s brother.
• Mysterious substances emerge from the cycle and enter the young man, while the Dao alters history and holds the others’ conditions steady. The young man begins moving toward the present—an apparent first step in his resurrection.

Significant themes

• Trust and sacrifice: Ye Fan’s cooperation enables an operation that would otherwise require force and risk death.
• Resurrection through cosmic order: Meng Chuan works not by simply restoring the dead, but by connecting people, place, and history through the Great Dao.
• Hidden worlds and concealed power: The chapter also explains how the Origin Ancestor kept the Shrouding the Heavens World isolated from the wider Chaos Sea, protecting it from outside discovery.

Key events

• Meng Chuan attempts to resurrect Ruthless’s Brother, choosing the moment just before he was to sacrifice himself to the Immortal Ascension Cauldron. This preserves his maturity and avoids returning him either near death or as a child.
• Using the Primordial Unity Limitless Dao, Meng Chuan draws the brother across time and restores the mysterious substance that belongs to him. The process injures Ye Fan, who serves as a Similar Flower, but the Dao also heals him; the Origin Ancestor is affected because he is connected to the phenomenon.
• The rescue succeeds: Ruthless’s Brother crosses into the present, regains awareness, and receives enough corrected memories to understand that he died, has been revived, and the woman before him is his sister. The broader course of Ruthless’s history remains unchanged.
• Seeing that Ruthless survived, he feels profound joy—alongside guilt, suspecting how difficult her life must have been—and calls to her, “Little sister…”

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan demonstrates the reach of the Limitless Realm, overcoming constraints that once made resurrection impossible. He deliberately leaves the explanation of the intervening years to Ruthless.
• Ruthless’s Brother returns as the valiant young man he was before his sacrifice. His first response is relief at his sister’s survival, followed by sorrow and guilt over what she may have endured.
• Ruthless is finally reunited with her brother, though their reunion has only just begun.
• Ye Fan willingly cooperates despite being harmed, making the resurrection possible without permanently depriving him of what is his. The Origin Ancestor also bears some effect as the source of the Similar Flower mechanism.

• Away from the reunion, Ye Fan jokes that Ruthless’s brother and Origin Ancestor resemble him, then boasts about his own looks. Chu Feng and Shi Hao tease him, prompting playful bickering among the three friends.
• Meng Chuan checks on Ye Fan after the events that made the resurrection possible. Ye Fan confirms that he is only temporarily weakened; his Dao and Origin remain unharmed.
• Origin Ancestor says that restoring Ruthless’s brother has finally eased his guilt toward Ruthless. Meng Chuan reassures him that the past is over and the important thing is that her brother is alive.
• The group reflects on how little cultivation Ruthless’s brother could have attained before his death. The Feathered Divine Dynasty exploited his Sacred Body for the Immortal Cauldron rather than nurturing a potentially extraordinary cultivator.

• The scene shifts to Ruthless’s revenge: after becoming an emperor, she destroyed the Feathered Divine Dynasty, which was responsible for her brother’s death. Her brother witnesses the devastation but feels no sorrow for the dynasty—only grief over what his sister endured.

Character developments

• Ruthless is joyful to have her brother back, yet her long life and rise to power have made her composed and guarded. She describes her life as “fairly good,” but her brother recognizes how much suffering that understatement conceals.
• Her brother’s love and guilt deepen as he understands that his little sister had to survive alone through hunger, cold, abuse, and danger before she could begin cultivating. He regrets not having been able to protect her.

Significant themes

• Family and memory: The village and its kind residents remain precious to the siblings, despite the vast gulf between their humble beginnings and Ruthless’s later stature.

Plot points and events

• Her brother grieves over the suffering she endured and blames himself for leaving with the Feathered Divine Dynasty. Ruthless reassures him that resisting the dynasty would have been futile: it had immense power and had effectively taken control of their lives after discovering his Sacred Body.
• Ruthless then shows him a later point in her life: the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, where she settled after becoming a Great Emperor. She explains that she destroyed Life Forbidden Zones, studied the Immortal Dao, and spent ages seeking Immortal Ascension. Her brother realizes she has become an Immortal.

Character development

• Ruthless is revealed as not merely a feared, powerful ruler but someone whose achievements came through extraordinary persistence despite terrible aptitude and hardship. In speaking with her brother, she shows tenderness and offers him reassurance; her quiet pride in her accomplishments also briefly emerges.
• Ruthless’s brother shifts from sorrow and guilt toward composure and awe as he learns the scale of her journey and sees what she became.

Character interactions

• The hidden cost of greatness: Her public glory conceals a life of danger, suffering, and repeated struggle.
• Family love and guilt: Her brother’s remorse is met with enduring affection and forgiveness.
• Power and coercion: The Feathered Divine Dynasty’s dominance left the siblings little freedom once it discovered the brother’s Sacred Body.
• Immortality as a hard-won achievement: Even for Ruthless, the path to becoming an Immortal was exceptionally arduous.

Summary

• Ruthless reflects on her brother’s amazement that, after his death, she became an emperor, a Forbidden Zone Supreme, and ultimately an Immortal. He is proud and relieved, believing her achievement means she will never suffer again, though he cannot imagine what it cost her.
• Ruthless says she attained Immortal Ascension long ago and has since surpassed the Immortals. She jokes that she is “three or four stories higher,” explaining that she picked up the phrase from someone else. Her brother finds this uncharacteristically playful and is startled by how far beyond his understanding her power lies.
• Ruthless guides her brother through scenes from history. They witness a universe-shaking Chaos Great Calamity: a Dao-Attainment Tribulation undergone by the greatest Cultivator in history. Ruthless admits that this figure is stronger than she is. Her brother is awed, and seeing someone above even his sister helps ease some of his darker feelings.
• The scene shifts to the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land, where that same man—newly honored as the Heavenly Emperor—visits Ruthless, then still its Lord. Ruthless tells her brother this was their first meeting and the beginning of their acquaintance.

Character developments and interactions

Ruthless’s brother remains stunned by the scale of his sister’s rise, but his pride and affection are clear. Ruthless, usually reserved, briefly shows a playful side and carefully chooses what memories to share, avoiding details of her suffering so as not to distress him. Her brother’s curiosity turns suspicious when she focuses on her first meeting with the powerful Heavenly Emperor, wondering why she is showing him the story of another man.

Significant themes

The chapter contrasts a loved one’s simple, comforting view of success with the hidden hardships behind it. It also emphasizes the vast hierarchy of power—from emperors to Immortals and beyond—and shows how awe at someone greater can shift the brother’s perspective. Finally, Ruthless’s selective retelling reflects her desire to protect her brother from painful memories while reconnecting him with her life.

Key plot points and events

• Ruthless’s resurrected brother learns that Meng Chuan helped bring him back—something Ruthless could not do herself—and recognizes Meng Chuan as extraordinarily powerful.

• Her brother is most affected by the fall of the Forbidden Zones, which he had known as seemingly invincible.
• In Ye Fan’s era, Ruthless explains that she once hoped Ye Fan was her brother’s reincarnation. Ye Fan is a Sacred Body, like her brother, and is connected to him through the phenomenon of “Similar Flowers.”

Plot points and events

• After being resurrected, Ruthless’s Brother is overjoyed to see his sister but struggles to reconcile the young woman before him with the little girl he remembers.
• Ruthless guides him through her past, letting him witness her life unfold rather than merely telling him about it. She explains major milestones, including her rise through realms such as Red Dust Immortal and Immortal King.

Themes

• Growth through hardship: Her rise from a village girl born with a Waste Body to a Supreme Female Emperor inspires awe, but also highlights the pain behind her success.
• The limits of belief: Her transformation is so extraordinary that, as her brother recognizes, few would believe it without witnessing her life firsthand.
• Memory and regret: He cannot reclaim the years he missed, but by learning her story, he can partly share in her growth.

Character interactions

• Ruthless patiently leads her brother through history and explains the events most important to her, helping him understand both her achievements and the wider significance of the era.
• He watches attentively, responding with amazement, concern, and affection. In the present, he tells her that she has truly grown up, expressing the pride and tenderness at the heart of their reunion.

Key events

• Ruthless’s Brother reflects on how warmly Meng Chuan and the other powerful figures treat him.

• Meng Chuan presents Ruthless with the unique Dao Tribulation Fruit, the last of its kind.
• Ruthless and Chu Feng question why Meng Chuan can give it away, since the fruit was supposed to be reserved for the victor of the Great Dao Tribulation.
• Meng Chuan explains that the upheaval of Chaos’s re-creation and his assimilation by the Great Dao erased the fruit’s restrictions. It can now be refined by someone else, and its power is even greater than before.
• If Ruthless refines it, she can advance toward Near-Limitless far more easily and keep pace with Ye Fan, Shi Hao, and Chu Feng.

• Ye Fan jokes about whether the gift is truly unique, glancing at Shi Hao; the exchange adds a note of familiar, friendly teasing.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan gives Ruthless an upgraded Dao Tribulation Fruit. It merges into her body and will reveal its effects once she refines it.
• The others approve: Ruthless is the best recipient, while Ye Fan, Shi Hao, and Chu Feng already have the Half-Limitless Seed and Fang Han has the Gate of Eternal Life. The fruit would be redundant for them; it is also unsuitable for the Origin Ancestor and Jiang Nan.
• Meng Chuan says he must leave to handle important affairs, including visiting the Human Ancestral Court and traveling to other regions of the Chaos Sea. He promises to inform the group if the Chaos Cycle Seed finishes transforming while he is away.
• Shi Hao and the others support his departure, confident that a Limitless Meng Chuan can travel safely.
• Before they part, Meng Chuan raises the trio’s Joint Strike Technique. He says that, if perfected—and once all three reach Near-Limitless—it could briefly grant them Limitless-level combat power.
• The trio had struggled to improve the technique. Meng Chuan explains that creating such a powerful secret technique requires both their exceptional teamwork and guidance from a true Limitless being, so he will help them develop it.

• Meng Chuan acts as a mentor and benefactor, balancing care for his allies with obligations tied to his wider ambitions, including his interest in going beyond Limitless.

• Shi Hao reassures Meng Chuan that he can travel without fear. Chu Feng jokes about Meng Chuan’s memory before listening to his advice.
• Ye Fan, Shi Hao, and Chu Feng acknowledge their difficulty with the Joint Strike Technique and agree to work on it with Meng Chuan.

Significant themes

• Shared growth and mutual support: The group prefers that no one be left behind.
• Preparation for future challenges: The trio can refine their technique now, even though they cannot use its full potential until they reach Near-Limitless.
• The value of collaboration and mentorship: A flawless technique depends on the trio’s unity and Meng Chuan’s Limitless insight.
• New strength, new responsibilities: Meng Chuan’s ascent gives him freedom to travel, but it does not free him from duties or long-term goals.

Plot and key events

• Meng Chuan encourages Ye Fan and the others to refine their Joint Strike Technique, now that a true Limitless One can help. Chu Feng excitedly imagines their trio becoming the strongest of the Limitless Ones, but Meng Chuan explains that the technique’s perfection matters more than the number of participants.
• Meng Chuan and a group of powerful cultivators begin studying the technique, using its principles as a foundation to develop its Limitless-level potential.
• One by one, Jiang Nan, Ruthless, Fang Han, and the Origin Ancestor withdraw. They realize that Chaos Ones cannot meaningfully advance a Limitless Secret Technique and may even hinder the work with incorrect deductions.
• Meng Chuan, Ye Fan, and the other two continue. They discover that the technique’s later stages rely on Meng Chuan’s Limitless Power and Dao, making his participation essential.
• Meng Chuan grasps the technique’s underlying truth: it lets its users briefly become a false version of the Limitless One whose power and Dao shaped it. Like the Dragon-Phoenix technique making its users resemble Pangu, this one could let Ye Fan’s group become a lesser “Meng Chuan” and fight Limitless beings. The technique can draw on only one Limitless One, and its power is fixed according to that being’s strength when the technique is perfected.

Character developments and interactions

• Chu Feng is eager and boastful about the trio’s prospects; Meng Chuan gently corrects his assumption that extra participants automatically mean greater strength.
• Meng Chuan shifts from guiding the group to understanding the technique’s true mechanism, and becomes its indispensable source of Limitless power.
• Ruthless has fulfilled her long-held wish by reuniting with her resurrected brother, but remains committed to pursuing the Dao. She accompanies him to explore the world while still participating in the work through her Primordial Unity abilities.
• Jiang Nan, Fang Han, and the Origin Ancestor acknowledge the limits of their realms and step aside rather than obstruct the effort.
• The central collaboration becomes focused on Meng Chuan and the three technique users, whose complementary roles—Limitless power and firsthand knowledge of the technique—make progress possible.

Significant themes

• Limits of understanding: Even exceptionally powerful Chaos Ones cannot comprehend or develop a technique beyond their realm.
• Cooperation and specialization: Progress depends on combining the right kind of power with direct experience of the technique.
• Pursuit beyond personal fulfillment: Ruthless’s reunion with her brother does not end her commitment to cultivation and truth.
• Borrowed power and its limits: The technique grants a temporary, imperfect likeness of a Limitless One, but cannot reproduce that being fully, and its strength is capped once perfected.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan is helping Ye Fan, Shi Ye, and Chu perfect a three-person Joint Strike Technique. Because he is developing it at his special 1+3 level, the technique could let them approach that level of power once they reach Near-Limitless.
• They will not equal Meng Chuan or Pangu outright, but they could briefly contend with true Limitless beings. Their prospects look unusually strong—though for now, the technique and their advancement remain unfinished.
• In the Dao Realm, Ruthless shows her brother the scale of the Chaos Sea and explains the value of Meng Chuan’s gift: an unrestricted Dao Tribulation Fruit that can lead its user toward Near-Limitless.
• She describes it as the Chaos Sea’s second-greatest known opportunity, surpassed only by the Chaos Cycle Seed that enabled Meng Chuan to attain Limitless. If its existence became known, it could provoke widespread upheaval.
• Ruthless’s brother recognizes how generous Meng Chuan has been and asks Ruthless how she feels about him.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan’s generosity extends to both Ruthless and Ye Fan’s group: Ruthless receives the Dao Tribulation Fruit, while Ye Fan, Shi Ye, and Chu gain a path toward extraordinary combat power.
• Ruthless speaks frankly about how Meng Chuan has helped her cultivate, stay safe, and maintain her state of mind. She acknowledges that she might have reached her current level without him, but his support made the journey much easier.
• Her brother is impressed by Meng Chuan’s care and gently probes Ruthless’s feelings, leaving her answer unresolved.

Significant themes

• Opportunity and generosity: Rare gifts can transform individual futures, and Meng Chuan shares his benefits among those close to him.
• Limits and ambition: Even exceptional techniques cannot make temporary Limitless fighters equal to true Limitless Ones, but holding their own is already remarkable.
• Gratitude and affection: Ruthless recognizes her dependence on Meng Chuan’s support, while her brother’s question hints at feelings beyond gratitude.
• Consequences of power: A treasure capable of opening the path to Near-Limitless could destabilize the entire Chaos Sea if revealed.

Key plot points and events

• Ruthless’s brother asks how she feels about Meng Chuan. She calls him a good, trustworthy person who makes others feel safe and protects them. Her brother appreciates how well Meng Chuan has cared for her.
• He encourages Ruthless to build a happier, fuller life beyond cultivation and spend time with people she cares about. He recognizes that she sacrificed much of her life and emotional warmth to bring him back.
• Ruthless says that his return has made everything better. Her brother promises to remain with her while urging her to make room for other relationships and experiences. His words stir something in her, though she does not respond directly.
• At her brother’s request, Ruthless takes him to places from their past. Their former home, Small Mountain Village, has become a lake, and the Feathered Divine Dynasty’s former site has also vanished.

Character developments

• Ruthless shows unusual openness in describing Meng Chuan, but remains emotionally restrained. Her brother’s appeal to seek happiness prompts a subtle reaction, suggesting she may be considering what he says.
• Her brother is loving and grateful, yet guilt-ridden about how his death shaped Ruthless’s life. He wants to make amends, even if that means encouraging her to live independently of him.

Significant themes

• Healing and happiness: Recovery means more than achieving a long-held goal; Ruthless’s brother hopes she can discover a life with joy and variety.
• Love and sacrifice: Ruthless’s devotion to restoring her brother came at great personal cost, while his love now leads him to encourage her freedom.
• Time and impermanence: The village and dynasty have disappeared, reflecting how completely the world—and Ruthless’s life—has changed.

Character interactions

• Ruthless and her brother speak tenderly but with a contrast in temperament: he openly expresses concern and affection, while she answers briefly and calmly.
• Ruthless’s brother asks her to revisit their shared past, and she takes him to the transformed sites, quietly accompanying him through memories of what is gone.

Chapter summary

• At the ruins of the Feathered Divine Dynasty, Ruthless’s Brother reflects on its collapse and his own survival. He feels no nostalgia: the dynasty had tried to sacrifice him, and he would have opposed it himself if he had lived.
• He tells Ruthless that, after some time, he wants to travel and cultivate independently on Beidou and across the universe. He knows her power could provide him an effortless, sheltered life, but wants to make his own contribution and be someone who can help his sister.
• Ruthless supports his choice. Though she values his company, she respects his independence and does not want to keep him by her side. She can still watch over him and meet him in the Dao Realm, so his journey will carry little real danger.
• The narration humorously emphasizes his extraordinary prospects: protected by Ruthless and born with an innate Sacred Body, he is virtually guaranteed to become an emperor and could eventually reach at least the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm through his own cultivation. He is the most privileged Dao Scion in history, with immense potential and plenty of time.
• Ruthless takes him back to the Origin Dao Realm rather than having him leave immediately. Both siblings are reluctant to part so soon after their reunion. He also hopes to persuade Ruthless to seize her chance at happiness and hold on to the person she cares about.
• Meanwhile, Meng Chuan appears in both the Human Ancestral Court and the Queen Mother of the West Realm as other characters work on refining the Joint Strike Technique.

Character developments and interactions

Ruthless’s Brother shifts from being someone defined by his sister’s protection toward pursuing an independent path, while still wanting to fulfill his role as her older brother. Ruthless demonstrates affection without possessiveness, supporting his freedom while ensuring his safety. Their reunion is warm and candid, and he gently turns the focus back on her happiness.

Significant themes

The chapter explores independence within family bonds, the desire to contribute rather than merely receive, and how privilege and protection shape opportunity. Its playful treatment of the brother’s near-certain rise also contrasts his wish to “make it on his own” with the extraordinary safety net Ruthless provides.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan refuses to delay his other plans while helping Ye Fan and the others perfect their Joint Strike Technique. The First Origin Point might evolve at any moment, so his foremost priority—reenacting Chaos—requires him to work on several fronts at once.
• He visits the Queen Mother of the West and Houtu, thanking them and strengthening their ties after their help in his recent breakthrough and in protecting Ye Fan’s group.
• He then visits the Three Pure Ones at Yuxu Heaven to acknowledge their support and discuss their now-closer relationship.
• Finally, he goes to the Human Ancestral Court to fulfill a promise to Suirenshi. Its Kindling-lit realm links countless human worlds, gathering their Human Dao Power and enabling protection, teaching, and ascension between those worlds and the Ancestral Realm.
• Meng Chuan appears in multiple places at once, with each presence regarded as his True Body—a capability made possible by the freedom of the Limitless Realm.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan acts with gratitude and diplomacy, personally meeting powerful allies rather than relying on distant messages or lesser manifestations.
• His relationship with the Queen Mother of the West is now friendly despite the earlier death of her Golden Emperor projection. Houtu and the Queen Mother are close like sisters, and their cooperation has benefited both women as well as Meng Chuan.
• Meng Chuan and the Three Pure Ones share a warm meeting, with private discussion allowing them to acknowledge favors and consider exchanges of benefits.
• The chapter presents the recent alliances as mutually beneficial: Meng Chuan gains support, while his allies gain a powerful Limitless friend. Even those whose plans failed are not necessarily worse off.

Significant themes

• Prioritizing the essential: Meng Chuan keeps his main objective in view while pursuing other work in parallel.
• Reciprocity and alliance: Help, gratitude, and future support deepen relationships among powerful beings.
• Strength and perspective: Attaining greater power is portrayed as the most important gain, while apparent defeats may still leave room for meaningful gains.
• Collective human destiny: The Human Ancestral Court embodies a vast network sustained by the shared power and flourishing of humanity across countless worlds.

Key plot points and events

• The chapter explains how the Human Race’s Ancestral Realm functions across the Boundless Chaos Sea. Its radiance reaches countless Human Realms, but the Human Dao itself extends much farther, drawing strength from humans even in worlds beyond that radiance.
• The Ancestral Realm’s Ancestor Court gathers and trains Human Race powerhouses, giving cultivators a safer route upward: they can ascend through progressively higher-level worlds, eventually reaching the Ancestral Realm, rather than wandering the Chaos Sea alone.
• The system protects lower worlds from interference by powerful beings and offers a chance to restore worlds struck by disaster. It is described as fair and beyond private control.
• Meng Chuan, in his Limitless form, observes the Ancestral Realm and admires its structure and protections. He then enters, where Nuwa, Suirenshi, and other Chaos Ones greet him. The realm’s inhabitants watch with great curiosity, and the chapter ends with Nuwa and Suirenshi leading him toward the Fire Cloud Cave.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan gains a deeper understanding of the Ancestral Realm’s scale and purpose, and is impressed by its role in supporting the Human Race. His arrival highlights his extraordinary status as a newly risen Limitless One and the strongest in the Chaos Sea.
• Suirenshi is revealed to draw on the vast Human Dao, whose strength enabled him to rise briefly to the Limitless level.
• Nuwa and Suirenshi receive Meng Chuan as honored guides, escorting him toward one of the Ancestral Realm’s most significant sites.

Significant themes

• Collective strength: The Human Dao draws power from humans across countless worlds, including those beyond the Ancestral Realm’s direct reach.
• Opportunity and guidance: The Ancestral Realm’s system ensures capable cultivators can keep progressing beyond the limits of their birth worlds.
• Protection and fairness: Its radiance helps shield lower worlds from arbitrary destruction and prevents ascension from becoming a tool of manipulation.
• Unity and resilience: The Human Race’s strength rests on a vast, interconnected community; the Human Dao endures even if many individual worlds are lost.

Character interactions

• Meng Chuan exchanges greetings with the Human Race’s Chaos Ones, while Supreme Ones and others watch from afar and whisper about his identity and achievements.
• After the other Chaos Ones depart, Meng Chuan speaks with Nuwa and Suirenshi, who accompany him toward the Fire Cloud Cave.
