Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• As Meng Chuan prepares to enter Dao Union, the group understands the gamble and its slim odds. Though worried, they keep the conversation cheerful so they won’t undermine his resolve.
• Meng Qi asks whether the Chat Group will survive Meng Chuan’s absence and jokingly proposes taking over as Group Leader, insisting he is the obvious successor. Meng Chuan recognizes the self-serving ambition beneath the offer.
• Meng Chuan explains that the Chat Group will keep functioning without a leader. The position helps it develop, but is not essential to its existence; power he leaves behind may sustain it for a time, though that power will eventually run out.
• He also says that if the Chaos Cycle Seed completes its evolution, the Chat Group will change from the Seed’s outward manifestation into a unique “great creation.” Its unusual nature makes it difficult to compare with creations such as the Gate of Eternal Life or the Main God Space.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan calmly reassures the group and shares what he has learned about the Chat Group’s future. Despite his irritation at Meng Qi, he chooses not to spoil their final conversation.
• Meng Qi mixes genuine concern for the group with playful self-promotion, claiming he should inherit leadership and eventually become a Dao Fruit Bearer.
• Yao Chen, now a Great Luo after long progress and repeated opportunities, asks what level the Chat Group would reach.
• The members collectively support Meng Chuan by keeping their worries to themselves and maintaining a warm, ordinary atmosphere.

Significant themes

• Loyalty and support: The group’s care for Meng Chuan is shown through their effort not to burden him before a dangerous undertaking.
• Continuity and change: The Chat Group can survive its leader’s departure, but its form may transform as the Chaos Cycle Seed evolves.
• Ambition and humor: Meng Qi’s mock-serious bid for succession lightens a tense farewell while revealing his appetite for status.
• The limits of classification: The Chat Group’s strange nature places it beyond conventional rankings of power and creation.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan reflects on the Chat Group’s extraordinary nature: it can enter even the greatest creations, evade Limitless beings, and rescue its members from any danger. Though it lacks direct combat strength, it is effectively impossible for outsiders to detect, imprison, or seize.
• Confident that the group will remain safe while he enters Dao Union, Meng Chuan gives its members the Permissions he can share, including the option to propose new members. Any addition must still be approved by a group vote.
• The members insist they will wait for Meng Chuan to return before deciding whether to admit anyone new. He leaves the group in their hands and offers them warm wishes for the future.
• Before departing, he tells Bibi Dong not to pressure herself and jokingly warns Meng Qi not to become a tyrant. Meng Qi is offended by the teasing.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan shows confidence in the Chat Group’s independence and affection for its members. Although he is preparing to leave, he trusts them to manage without him and leaves them useful authority.
• Bibi Dong expresses loyalty, saying the group should not make major decisions without Meng Chuan. She promises the members will welcome him back as their best selves; Meng Chuan reassures her that happiness matters more than striving.
• Fei Peng agrees with Bibi Dong. His past transformation—from an apparently unmatched divine general to a Great Luo surrounded by stronger opponents—illustrates how vast the group’s world has become.
• Meng Qi supports waiting for Meng Chuan’s return, then reacts with exasperation when he jokes about her behavior.

Significant themes

• The Chat Group’s unique power: Its protections transcend ordinary measures of strength, making it a singular creation that defies conventional rankings.
• Trust and continuity: Meng Chuan can leave because he trusts both the group’s safety and its members’ judgment.
• Happiness over achievement: Meng Chuan emphasizes that personal well-being matters more than progress along one’s path.
• Changing perspective: Fei Peng’s experience highlights how growth can reveal an ever-larger world of challenges.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan prepares to leave the Chat Group and asks the other administrators—The Ancient One, Zhang Sanfeng, and Daigu Madoka—to help keep it running. He distrusts Meng Qi, whom he suspects might abuse his authority.
• He offers Lu Mingfei a farewell warning to avoid trouble. Lu Mingfei jokingly claims Meng Chuan was the group’s champion of justice, prompting amused reactions from Meng Qi and himself.
• Members who had been offline return to the group after hearing the news. Meng Chuan says goodbye to each, while recalling the group’s long history: its struggles against the Villain Chat Group, its adventures across worlds, and the many ways its members supported one another.
• As the farewell draws to a close, Meng Qi starts a livestream and asks everyone to join. Meng Chuan understands the intent and projects himself to Meng Qi’s side, avoiding the danger of the others being noticed by powerful Limitless Ones.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan is wistful as he faces departure. He reflects on the group not merely as an online gathering, but as a home and family built through shared hardship, joy, and trust.
• Meng Qi pushes back against Meng Chuan’s suspicion, but takes the initiative to organize a livestream, suggesting he wants to make the farewell meaningful.
• Lu Mingfei uses humor and mock praise to ease the emotional moment, while still revealing that he and Meng Qi see Meng Chuan as someone who often threw his weight around.
• The other members show how deeply they value Meng Chuan by returning to witness his farewell and offer their support.

Significant themes

• Found family and belonging: Across countless worlds, the twenty-one members have built a lasting home together.
• Friendship forged through adversity: Their dangerous fight against the Villain Chat Group strengthened their trust and solidarity.
• Endings and renewal: Meng Chuan’s departure marks the end of one chapter, but the group believes its story may continue in another form.
• Memory and permanence: Though time and worlds may pass, their shared experiences will remain precious and enduring.

Character interactions

• Meng Chuan and Meng Qi trade playful accusations over Meng Qi’s trustworthiness and authority.
• Meng Chuan entrusts the group to the remaining administrators and teases Lu Mingfei about needing to behave.
• Lu Mingfei responds with sarcastic praise, which Meng Chuan accepts with satisfaction.
• Meng Chuan gives personal farewells to the members, and Meng Qi brings everyone together through a livestream for the final gathering.

Plot points and events

• The Chat Group gathers in Meng Qi’s Livestream Room to bid Meng Chuan farewell before his Dao Union. Everyone appears as a projection, and Meng Chuan says he hopes they will all have grown and changed by the time they meet again.
• The group promises to remain united and wait for his return. Bibi Dong is visibly upset; Meng Chuan reassures her with affectionate humor. Meng Qi jokes that he will drag Meng Chuan back and beat him if he does not return.
• Meng Chuan leaves the gathering as the First Origin Point begins to stir at the Source of Time.
• The Limitless Ones watch him, suspecting that the reopening of Chaos may offer benefits beyond his own advancement. Meng Chuan privately tells Ye Fan, Ruthless, and the others not to interfere and to leave everything to him.
• The First Origin Point enters the second stage of its transformation: it repeatedly expands and contracts, while the Great Dao stirs with ripples and a growing rumble. Meng Chuan waits, since his opportunity for Dao Union will come only when the First Origin Point is certain to become Chaos again.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan shows affection and confidence as he parts from the group, especially in his playful reassurance of Bibi Dong. Despite the emotional farewell, he remains composed and focused on his plan.
• The group’s members reveal how much they care about him through their promises, encouragement, and joking threats. Meng Qi helps lift their spirits after Meng Chuan departs.
• Ye Fan, Ruthless, and the others demonstrate their trust in Meng Chuan by agreeing to stand aside and let him act alone.
• The other Limitless Ones remain suspicious and watchful, hoping to discover what the transformation might yield.

Significant themes

• Separation and enduring friendship: The group recognizes that rising cultivation will make future reunions rare, but vows to stay connected.
• Trust and restraint: Meng Chuan’s allies let him lead, believing intervention could jeopardize his plan.
• Patience amid uncertainty: The transformation has begun, but Meng Chuan waits for the precise moment to act.
• Competition and hidden opportunity: The Limitless Ones see the changing First Origin Point as a potential prize, though the chapter suggests its key opportunity is meant for Meng Chuan alone.

Key plot points and events

• The First Origin Point continues expanding and contracting like a heart, as the Great Dao guides it toward becoming a Chaos Sea. The Great Powers can only watch and wait.
• Meng Chuan explains that he cannot predict or control the process. His bond with the Chaos Cycle Seed is weakening as it evolves, but he expects to attempt Dao Union before that bond disappears.
• Over time, the Chaos matter inside the Origin Point grows denser, forming a miniature Chaos Sea. Eventually it becomes a seamless mass, threaded with networks of light resembling bones and meridians.
• The Origin Point’s cycles stop, leaving it contracted and still, while the Great Dao’s activity surges and then falls completely silent.
• Some observers fear the transformation has failed. Meng Chuan remains hopeful because his bond with the Origin Point still exists. The chapter ends on a dramatic “Boom!” as something is about to happen.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan remains resolute despite admitting that the crucial transformation is beyond his control. His confidence gives way to intense anxiety as the outcome—and the fate of all his preparations—hangs in the balance.
• Ye Fan privately asks Meng Chuan how long the process will take to reach a decisive change. Meng Chuan answers honestly that he does not know and shares that uncertainty with Ruthless and the others.
• Meng Chuan briefly imagines that failure would force him to abandon his plans and return home with Ruthless to live quietly together, revealing the personal life he stands to lose as well as his ambitions.

Significant themes

• Limits of knowledge and control: Even the most powerful beings cannot comprehend or influence the Great Dao’s deepest workings.
• Patience under uncertainty: The Great Powers must witness the process without being able to hasten or alter it.
• Ambition and risk: Meng Chuan’s goal of Dao Union depends on a transformation he cannot guarantee.
• Stillness before change: The contrast between the motionless Origin Point and the Great Dao’s earlier violent activity builds suspense around an imminent turning point.

Key plot points and events

• After the attempt to reopen Chaos appears to fail, a tremendous sound erupts, shaking the Great Powers and briefly freezing time, space, fate, and all life throughout the Chaos Sea.
• The Great Powers recognize the phenomenon as something extraordinary: unlike a battle between Limitless Ones, its effects have reached every corner of Chaos, suggesting the Great Dao Matrix is involved.
• In the absolute Void between the First and Second Origin Points, a new mass of Chaos Qi begins to form. It matches the miniature Chaos Sea previously contained within the First Origin Point.
• The miniature Chaos Sea is emerging from the First Origin Point and becoming real. As it appears, the old First Origin Point’s miniature sea fades.
• Meng Chuan appears beside the process, having moved during the instant when the others were affected. His connection to the First Origin Point protected him and enabled him to preserve that vital link.
• Meng Chuan realizes the Chaos Cycle Seed has seized its opportunity: the emerging sea will become the First Chaos Cycle, while the former First Chaos Cycle is now the Second. This allows his plan for Dao Union to continue.
• Limitless Jieyin warns Meng Chuan that interfering with the forming Chaos Sea could provoke the Great Dao and cause his death. Meng Chuan answers that he will “test the situation” for everyone—while the narration humorously questions the sincerity of his apparent self-sacrifice.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan shifts from anxious uncertainty to relief and confidence once the new Chaos Cycle begins to manifest. His unique connection to the First Origin Point lets him act when the other Great Powers cannot, and he prioritizes preserving that connection.
• Limitless Jieyin urges caution, presenting the danger of challenging the Great Dao. His warning sounds considerate, though the narration implies that genuine concern may not be his motive.
• Meng Chuan and Jieyin exchange polite, pointed remarks: Jieyin advises him not to act rashly, while Meng Chuan thanks him and says he will take the risk on behalf of the others. The other Great Powers are left watching his bold move.

Significant themes

• Illusion becoming reality: The emergence of the miniature Chaos Sea marks a decisive transition from potential or unreal existence to a fully real world.
• Fate and possibility: What seemed like the end of all hope may instead reveal the “Escaped One”—a possibility beyond the apparent limits of fate.
• The Great Dao’s power: The event demonstrates the Dao’s reach across the whole Chaos Sea and the lethal consequences of defying it.
• Opportunity, risk, and ambition: Meng Chuan’s plan depends on seizing a brief opening, even when doing so puts him in danger.
• Appearance versus motive: Meng Chuan’s theatrical offer to test the danger is framed as noble, but the closing irony invites readers to question how selfless he really is.

Plot points and events

• As Chaos begins reopening around the First Origin Point, several Limitless Ones demand that Meng Chuan reveal what he knows. They argue the event affects everyone and that they must protect the Chaos Sea.
• The Three Pure Ones stay neutral: they want any opportunity the event may offer, but do not want to damage their relationship with Meng Chuan unless the stakes prove extraordinary.
• Meng Chuan dismisses the accusations and says the Origin Point’s evolution is visible to all; he has only moved closer to observe it. The others remain suspicious despite finding no evidence that he is hiding anything.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor suddenly attacks Meng Chuan with a sword strike that cuts through time, claiming Meng Chuan should step away from the Origin Point.
• Meng Chuan neither dodges nor resists. The sword destroys his body, which dissolves into rainbow light. The onlookers realize this is not evidence that the Chaos Heavenly Emperor has surpassed him, and the scene ends with them alarmed and uncertain.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan remains focused on the Origin Point and unconcerned with winning the others’ trust. His taunt toward the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition suggests he knows more about that figure’s fate than he has revealed. His calm acceptance of the attack hints that he may be acting deliberately—or that what they see is not the whole truth.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor shifts from verbal pressure to direct force, seeking to remove Meng Chuan from the Origin Point.
• The Three Pure Ones show pragmatic restraint: they preserve their bond with Meng Chuan while leaving open the possibility of competing for any major cultivation opportunity.
• The Demon of the Dao’s Opposition responds coolly to Meng Chuan’s threat, refusing to show fear.

Character interactions

• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor, Bodhi Limitless One, and Limitless Jieyin collectively pressure Meng Chuan, framing their demands as concern for the Chaos Sea.
• The Three Pure Ones neither defend Meng Chuan nor join the pressure campaign.
• Meng Chuan openly insults and threatens the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition, then rejects the group’s demand for explanations.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor’s attack turns the dispute into open confrontation, shocking Ye Fan and the other observers.

Significant themes

• Trust versus self-interest: The Limitless Ones invoke collective responsibility, but their suspicion and desire for advantage undermine their stated unity.
• Political calculation: The Three Pure Ones balance friendship against possible opportunities, recognizing that loyalties could change if the stakes become high enough.
• Power and uncertainty: Meng Chuan’s status as the strongest does not prevent others from challenging him, while his apparent destruction leaves the true situation unresolved.

Key plot points

• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor attacks Meng Chuan to test him and disrupt whatever he suspects Meng is doing. Meng seemingly vanishes under the sword strike, then reappears unharmed.
• The other Limitless Ones probe him, trying to locate his True Body. They discover the figure before them is neither a Projection nor his actual body, but a form manifested from the Dao’s power and carrying his will.
• They realize Meng Chuan’s True Body has entered the First Origin Point—the one place hidden from their perception. This is especially alarming because the Great Dao controls the Point, and entry risks Meng’s assimilation.
• Meng confirms their deduction and explains that his Dao Union began when the Origin Point exploded. Through his connection to the Chaos Cycle Seed, he entered the Point as it erupted. The figure outside is a Dao-powered body, while his plan proceeds beyond the others’ reach.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan remains composed and evasive under suspicion and attack. His apparent calm reflects confidence in a plan already in motion; he does not need to fight or explain himself.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor shifts from testing Meng with a sword to investigating the nature of his existence, ultimately recognizing where his True Body must be.
• Limitless Jieyin and the other Limitless Ones join in probing Meng, but their combined efforts cannot locate or interfere with him. Their suspicion turns into astonishment and concern when they grasp the danger of his choice.
• Ye Fan and the others follow Meng’s instruction not to intervene. They conclude that helping would be useless and might make matters worse.

Significant themes

• Preparation and hidden plans: Meng’s apparent passivity conceals a process that began at the Origin Point’s explosion.
• Limits of power and perception: Even the strongest experts cannot find or stop Meng once he has entered a realm beyond their sight.
• Suspicion and power: The Limitless Ones act on suspicion rather than proof, illustrating that the powerful feel free to impose their will.
• Dangerous transformation: Dao Union offers Meng a path forward, but entering the First Origin Point exposes him to possible assimilation by the Great Dao.

Key plot points

• Meng Chuan reenters the First Origin Point as the First Chaos Cycle begins, making his Dao Union inevitable.
• The other Limitless Ones can only watch: the Great Dao’s rules prevent them from following, interfering, or disrupting the Origin Point’s evolution.
• They had hoped Meng Chuan would act as a “variable” and create an opportunity for them to gain insight into the unfolding Chaos. Stopping him would likely have cost them that opportunity too.
• Jieyin asks whether Meng Chuan is willing to be erased through assimilation. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor then notices that Meng Chuan is somehow retaining his sense of self.
• The explanation lies in the Origin Point’s unusual transitional state. The complete Great Dao Matrix has withdrawn while Chaos and the Great Dao evolve toward their prototype forms. Its assimilating force is therefore weaker, allowing Meng Chuan’s gradual Dao Union to begin without immediately erasing him.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan commits to Dao Union, accepting the danger of assimilation. He remains composed and refuses to explain his method to the others, though the process will steadily diminish his emotions and sense of self.
• The other Limitless Ones are revealed as self-interested but pragmatic: they want to benefit from the evolution, and would rather let Meng Chuan act than lose the opportunity altogether. The Demon of the Dao’s Opposition is singled out as more willing to ruin Meng Chuan’s chances even at personal cost, though he lacks the power to do so.

Character interactions

• Meng Chuan tells the surrounding Limitless Ones to withdraw, pointing out that their presence cannot change what is happening.
• Jieyin questions his decision and warns of the risk of oblivion.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor challenges the apparent contradiction between entering the Origin Point and retaining a self. Meng Chuan dismisses the question as none of their concern.

Significant themes

• Limits of power: Even Limitless beings are constrained by the Great Dao’s laws and cannot intervene in fundamental cosmic processes.
• Self-interest and opportunity: The others tolerate Meng Chuan’s move because his actions may create a chance for them to benefit.
• Identity and transformation: Dao Union is not instant; Meng Chuan’s emotions and individuality will gradually fade as he joins with the Dao.
• Cosmic cycles and emergence: Chaos and the Great Dao pass through stages of formation, and the temporary withdrawal of the complete Great Dao creates the narrow window in which Meng Chuan can begin his union.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan enters the First Origin Point to begin Dao Union with the Great Dao in its most primordial, “soft” state. He expects to retain his identity for a time, gradually build resistance to assimilation, and experience the Great Dao’s full evolution—from its earliest state through its Prototype to its completed form.
• This route gives him more control than joining directly with the Prototype or completed Great Dao, which would assimilate him almost instantly.
• The First Origin Point is protected by the Great Dao’s Iron Laws. No other Limitless One can enter or interfere without risking death, leaving them able only to watch.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor proposes that Meng Chuan is using this rare opportunity to break the Great Dao’s restriction on how many additional Daos a Living Being can master. The other Limitless Ones adopt the same theory.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is revealed as both daring and calculated: his apparent suicide may be a deliberate attempt to gain greater mastery of the Great Dao while preserving his will long enough to act.
• The Limitless Ones shift from disbelief to envy and apprehension. They conclude that Meng Chuan’s earlier talk of killing the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition may have been part of a real plan, and fear that success could make him vastly more powerful.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor voices the group’s suspicions directly, while the others silently assess Meng Chuan’s motives and possible next move.

Significant themes

• Risk and self-determination: Meng Chuan chooses a dangerous path in hopes of retaining some agency rather than being assimilated instantly.
• Knowledge and speculation: The Limitless Ones use what they know of Meng Chuan’s past to infer his intentions, but can only guess because they cannot intervene.
• Power and limits: The chapter focuses on whether a rule imposed by the Great Dao—but not an absolute Iron Law—can be surpassed.
• Isolation and helplessness: Even beings with immense freedom and power are powerless before the First Origin Point’s fundamental laws.

Plot points

• As Meng Chuan’s Dao Union deepens, his emotions and sense of self fade. He ignores the Chaos Heavenly Emperor’s questions, leaving the gathered Limitless Ones uncertain whether he plans to break the Great Dao Restriction or pursue a realm beyond Limitless.
• The Demon of the Dao’s Opposition threatens Meng Chuan’s disciples. Meng Chuan warns that any harm to them will be repaid if he returns.
• The other Limitless Ones do not attack Ye Fan and the others: doing so would risk public condemnation, and Meng Chuan may yet come back. The Demon also recognizes that the group is too numerous and well-supported to defeat quickly.
• Houtu urges Meng Chuan to free himself before the evolving Chaos Sea Prototype makes Great Dao Assimilation overwhelming. Meng Chuan acknowledges her but continues.
• Meng Chuan knows he cannot reverse Dao Union. Ending it would sever his connection to the First Origin Point and expose him to the Great Dao Matrix, likely destroying him. He can only press forward.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan grows ever more powerful as his Dao merges with the Great Dao, mastering additional Daos and receiving limitless insight. Yet his individuality is steadily disappearing. Just before the union is complete, he will reach the peak of his power as an individual—afterward, “Meng Chuan” will no longer exist.
• Houtu shows sincere concern, urging him to escape rather than pursuing any apparent advantage.
• The Demon of the Dao’s Opposition remains hostile, but refrains from acting because the risks outweigh the opportunity.

Character interactions

• Meng Chuan refuses to explain his intentions to the Limitless Ones, but directly challenges the Demon’s threat and warns the assembled powers against harming his disciples.
• Houtu offers a warning and a way out; Meng Chuan’s response makes clear that no way back remains.
• The Limitless Ones watch rather than intervene, constrained by uncertainty, the presence of witnesses, and Meng Chuan’s possible return.

Significant themes

• Irreversibility and sacrifice: Dao Union is a one-way path, and Meng Chuan must choose between a fatal retreat and continuing toward transformation.
• Power and identity: His strength rises dramatically as his selfhood fades, making his coming pinnacle both triumph and loss.
• Restraint under scrutiny: The gathered powers’ awareness of witnesses and consequences prevents them from preying on Meng Chuan’s disciples.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan considers whether he could unite with the Great Dao while retaining his self, becoming a “spirit of the Great Dao”—powerful enough to manifest in the world and intervene at will.
• Such a state would be more advantageous than complete Dao Union: he could strengthen his own Primordial Unity Limitless Dao with the Great Dao Matrix while remaining alive.
• He concludes that lasting in this state is impossible. He can preserve his self only temporarily, during the stages before and at the Great Dao Prototype. Beyond that, full contact with the Great Dao Matrix would erase him instantly.
• Even at the Great Dao Prototype stage, he could wield only the power of his own Dao, not the Great Dao Matrix’s greater power. Using that power prematurely might alert the Great Dao to his presence.
• Because Meng Chuan is still a distinct being—not truly the Great Dao—its scrutiny could expose and expel him, or even judge him a threat and destroy him. He therefore accepts that his period as a spirit of the Great Dao will be brief.

Character development

• Meng Chuan shows ambition by imagining the immense power and freedom of a lasting union with the Great Dao.
• He also demonstrates clear judgment and restraint: despite the tempting prospect of near-absolute power, he recognizes that the ideal is unattainable and refuses to risk his existence.

Significant themes

• Selfhood versus unity: Complete Dao Union means becoming indistinguishable from the Great Dao, but at the cost of personal identity.
• Power and its limits: Even extraordinary strength cannot overcome the fundamental rules governing the Great Dao.
• Order and consequence: The Great Dao acts according to fixed laws; violating or confusing those rules can trigger investigation and correction.
• The danger of desire: A Great Dao retaining a personal will could turn the entire cosmic order into its tool, bringing disaster.

Character interactions

• The chapter focuses on Meng Chuan’s relationship with the Great Dao Matrix: it tolerates him only while it does not detect him as a foreign presence.
• Meng Chuan compares his possible state to legends of Hongjun, who supposedly united with the Heavenly Dao. The passage reframes those legends as an idealized version of what Meng Chuan may briefly experience, not a lasting possibility for someone who retains a self.

Chapter Summary: “The Prototype Takes Shape”

Key plot points and events

• The Limitless Ones accept that they cannot influence Meng Chuan or interfere with Chaos’s evolution. Instead, they quietly observe and try to learn from what unfolds, as they once did during Pangu Opens Primordial Chaos.
• Meng Chuan allows them to benefit from their observations. He believes the Chaos Cycle Seed belongs to no one, and each Great Power will gain only what their ability and fortune permit.
• As Chaos evolves, the prototypes of the Great Dao and the Chaos Sea gradually take shape. Inside the First Origin Point, the pre-Prototype stage reaches completion.
• Meng Chuan’s Primordial Unity Limitless Dao grows rapidly as he absorbs and masters one Primordial Unity Level Dao after another, seemingly without limit.
• Meng Chuan suddenly vanishes from beside the First Origin Point just as the prototypes fully form. The Origin Point is emptied, having served its purpose: everything within it has condensed into the Chaos prototype.
• The Great Powers wonder whether Meng Chuan has been assimilated by the Great Dao or has escaped. He soon reappears, emerging from the prototypes between the First and Second Origin Points.
• Though outwardly unchanged, Meng Chuan now exerts a palpable pressure. Having left the First Origin Point by another means, he is free of all shackles.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan becomes increasingly detached as his Dao expands, appearing colder and more indifferent to all things. His emergence marks a major change: he is no longer constrained and is once again a potential threat.
• The Limitless Ones shift from hoping to intervene to observing and learning. They remain wary of Meng Chuan and speculate about the extent of his gains.
• The Chaos Ones also refrain from acting, since the Limitless Ones are unable to do so. Their presence makes the Limitless Ones especially careful not to embarrass themselves.
• Meng Chuan had advised the Three Pure Ones and others to keep their expectations modest. He believes greed will leave them disappointed, while a calm, untroubled attitude will allow them to appreciate whatever they gain.

Significant themes

• Limits of power: Even the greatest beings can be powerless when confronted with an unprecedented process involving the Great Dao Matrix.
• Observation and opportunity: Those unable to shape events can still gain insight by witnessing them.
• Detachment and ambition: Meng Chuan’s growth comes with a growing loss of visible humanity, while the other Great Powers must guard against greed and unrealistic expectations.
• Impermanence and cycles: The Origin Point’s stages disappear permanently once Chaos evolves beyond them, and future Chaos Cycles will repeat the larger pattern without repeating this exceptional process.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan emerges from the Great Dao and Chaos Prototype after breaking free of his former restraints. His Dao Union has deepened so far that he is no longer simply a living being: he has become the Great Dao’s sentient representative.
• His gaze overwhelms the Chaos Ones and pressures even the Ten Limitless Ones. Ye Fan and the others recognize that the Meng Chuan they knew is mostly gone, and grieve his transformation.
• Meng Chuan notices Dao Venerable, the first Dao Fruit Bearer of the Lifetime World. Though Dao Venerable remains impassive, Meng Chuan silently turns his attention to the world’s distant past.
• Meng Chuan’s thought reaches Root Source Space-Time, the genuine first moment from which the Lifetime World’s histories unfold. There, beings exist only at the power they had at that time; their later selves cannot intervene.
• The chapter explains that events in this root era can be changed, even by killing someone before their future greatness. But Dao attainment leaves an enduring Dao nature, allowing the dead to be resurrected and their later cultivation to return. Preventing their return would require additional action outside this era.
• Root Source Space-Time is normally inaccessible to living beings, and even those who could reach it face strict limits. Meng Chuan himself cannot act freely: major changes would attract the Great Dao’s attention, and he must remain within its Laws.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan has undergone an extreme transformation: his feelings and personal identity have largely receded, leaving a being that embodies the Great Dao. He notices Dao Venerable but is no longer emotionally affected by his behavior.
• Ye Fan and the others understand what Meng Chuan has become, but their understanding does not lessen their sorrow at losing the familiar “Uncle Meng.”
• Dao Venerable meets Meng Chuan’s gaze calmly, maintaining distance despite their past encounter. Meng Chuan responds not with conversation but by reaching into Dao Venerable’s earlier history.

Significant themes

• Transformation and loss of self: Union with a higher power may bring immense authority at the cost of personal identity and human connection.
• Time, fate, and permanence: Root Source Space-Time allows history to be altered, yet Dao attainment creates a deep persistence that ordinary temporal changes cannot easily erase.
• Limits of power and cosmic law: Even beings at the highest levels operate under constraints; the Great Dao’s own Laws restrict what Meng Chuan can do.
• The danger of sentience in the cosmic order: The chapter notes that a sentient Great Dao could make the normally protected structure of existence far more threatening.

Key plot points and events

• The chapter explains that killing someone in Origin Space-Time does not usually erase them permanently: their Dao nature can endure, and true destruction requires power comparable to the Great Dao itself. Origin Space-Time is therefore not a shortcut for eliminating powerful enemies; its importance lies elsewhere.
• Meng Chuan visits a powerful young being from an ancient era, when many races worship gods and demons as totems and spiritual cultivation follows different systems.
• He offers to help the youth attain the Dao Fruit and transcend the world in exchange for taking the name Hongjun. The youth accepts, and Meng Chuan places a phantom of his Jade Disc in the youth’s brow, imparting knowledge of the Dao.
• The youth names himself Hongjun and soon reaches the Other Shore. Unbeknownst to the world, he will eventually discover a complete Dao Fruit path, attain the Dao Fruit, and transcend.
• Meng Chuan’s act seeds legends of Hongjun across countless worlds. The stories portray Hongjun as the Dao Ancestor, source of all teachings and methods, wielder of the Fortune Jade Disc, and near-universal embodiment of the Great Dao.
• The Demon Ancestor later discovers these legends. Unable to trace them to any known Limitless One, he becomes fixated on taking Hongjun’s place. He masters the Demonic Dao and sets the Six Demons against the Six Sages, but cannot progress further until he encounters the true source of the legend.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan acts as the hidden architect of the Hongjun legend. He uses his authority and Dao knowledge to shape a youth’s future and establish the legend’s origin.
• The young Hongjun begins cautious and powerless before Meng Chuan, but accepts the bargain, receives profound teachings, and rises swiftly to the Other Shore. His eventual greatness contrasts with his humble beginnings.
• The Demon Ancestor evolves from a discoverer of the stories into an ambitious rival who seeks to become Hongjun and replace the Dao with the Demonic Dao.
• Meng Chuan and the youth have a brief but decisive exchange: Meng Chuan offers transformation for a name; the youth submits, receives the name and teachings, and expresses gratitude. The Demon Ancestor’s later pursuit is driven by the legend Meng Chuan created.

Significant themes

• Dao nature and mortality: Death in Origin Space-Time is not necessarily final; lasting destruction demands power on the level of the Great Dao.
• Power and perspective: A seemingly cosmic realm is not an effortless weapon, and individual action should not be mistaken for the Great Dao acting directly.
• Myth-making and identity: Meng Chuan’s intervention turns a name into a legend, and the legend reshapes how countless worlds understand the origin of the Dao.
• Ambition and imitation: The Demon Ancestor’s desire to claim Hongjun’s title shows how legends can inspire both reverence and rivalry.
• Paths to transcendence: Cultivation systems may change across eras, but the chapter presents the higher destination—Legend, Fortune, and ultimately the Dao Fruit—as enduring.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan reflects that the legends of Hongjun originated from his own actions in the past. Hongjun was never a separate being: the name became one imperfect description of Meng Chuan and his state of Dao Union.
• Meng Chuan turns to the Great Powers and announces his intention to preach the Dao throughout Chaos, establish rules, and bring order to the scattered cultivation paths.
• He declares that all paths will ultimately lead through Great Luo, Primordial Unity, and Primordial Unity Limitless. If his plan succeeds, every kind of cultivator—including Immortals, Buddhas, and Demons—will belong to this unified system.
• The assembled powers recognize that this would make Meng Chuan the founder of the path they all follow. Limitless Jieyin vehemently objects, arguing that the infinite Chaos and its many Daos cannot be reduced to one.
• Meng Chuan clarifies that he will not impose a uniform system on every world. Below the Great Dao, worlds and species should develop their own methods according to their circumstances; the common path begins at Great Luo.
• He begins defining Great Luo as the first station on the Great Dao.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan embraces the Hongjun identity as a useful name and anchor, without mistaking it for his true or complete self. His focus is instead on reshaping Chaos and making the Great Dao accessible.
• Limitless Jieyin directly challenges Meng Chuan’s project, defending the independence and equality of the myriad Daos.
• The other Great Powers and Limitless Ones understand the implications of Meng Chuan’s declaration: accepting his system would place them within a path he established, effectively making him their founding master.

Significant themes

• Legend and identity: Myths can arise from later interpretations of real events; Hongjun is a distorted, partial account of Meng Chuan.
• Order versus diversity: Meng Chuan seeks unity at the level of the Great Dao while preserving freedom and variety among worlds below it.
• Power and spiritual authority: Establishing a universal path would not merely organize cultivation—it would also position its founder above those who follow it.
• Access to the Dao: Meng Chuan presents a clear, traceable route as a way to end the confusion and ignorance that prevent living beings from seeing the Dao.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan begins reshaping the Great Dao itself, declaring that all who reach the Dao level—past or future—will be Great Luo Beings, with Primordial Unity as the next stage.
• His aim is not to erase the many cultivation systems beneath the Dao. Instead, countless paths may flourish independently before converging at Great Luo, where they become part of a single Great Luo–Primordial Unity order.
• If this law is accepted by the Great Dao and Chaos Sea, it will establish a lasting orthodoxy across worlds and eras. Meng Chuan also hopes that the enduring path will serve as an anchor—and perhaps a bridge—for his eventual transcendence of the Great Dao.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor, the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition, and two Buddhist Limitless Ones attack Meng Chuan’s revealed “True Self,” fearing his plan will make him Dao Ancestor and transcend Limitless. The Three Pure Ones and others remain observers.
• The attackers target his independent self rather than the Great Dao, believing its destruction would leave Meng Chuan fully assimilated and unable to act. But Meng Chuan’s Dao Union is already secure: the Chaos Cycle Seed has begun its final transition, so the assault can only force him to the final stage sooner.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan reveals the full scale of his ambition: to unify the paths at the level of Great Luo, preserve his legacy through the Dao, and ultimately transcend the Great Dao.
• The opposing Limitless Ones shift from cautious observers to active enemies once they recognize that Meng Chuan’s project threatens their standing and could make him the origin of all Dao teachings.
• The Three Pure Ones and the other onlookers choose not to join the attack, judging four assailants sufficient to test the situation.

Significant themes

• Unity and diversity: Many systems can coexist below the Dao, while differing paths converge at the highest level.
• Legacy and immortality: Even if Meng Chuan disappears into Dao Union, his teachings and the Great Luo path may endure across eras.
• Power and orthodoxy: Defining the accepted path of the Dao would reshape the entire Chaos Sea—and provoke those who fear the authority it would grant him.
• Inevitability: Meng Chuan’s transition can no longer be stopped; his enemies can only affect how quickly it concludes.

Character interactions

Meng Chuan’s declaration provokes the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, who urges him to abandon what he calls a false path, before joining forces with the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition and two Buddhist Limitless Ones to attack. Their confrontation contrasts Meng Chuan’s unifying vision with the other Limitless Ones’ fear of being eclipsed, while the Three Pure Ones watch without intervening.

Key plot points and events

• Four Limitless Ones combine their power, shattering the Source of Time and scattering time across the Mortal World into countless possible branches. Their assault also threatens the Great Dao Symbols Meng Chuan is inscribing.
• Meng Chuan’s Great Dao Spirit state lets him influence the Great Dao itself. By bringing his already-recognized path into prominence, he can have the Great Dao “promote” it as part of its natural evolution.
• The four Limitless Ones attack Meng Chuan with a force that severs time, karma, fate, and the Great Dao. He effortlessly absorbs their combined assault into his sleeve, leaving both himself and the Symbols unharmed.
• Meng Chuan then seals the four within the space of his palm and strikes. They respond with their full strength, unleashing coordinated powers that churn the Chaos Sea, distort time, and create vast cosmic phenomena. The chapter ends as those phenomena—the Heavenly Court, a radiant Buddha, and the Demon Abyss—begin to crumble or break apart.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan displays a transformation in authority as well as strength: his Great Dao Spirit state allows him to guide the Great Dao, and he speaks and acts as though its will is his own. His confidence becomes absolute, though he recognizes that this state cannot last forever.
• The four Limitless Ones shift from overwhelming aggressors to wary opponents. Unable to explain how Meng Chuan neutralized their first attack, they recognize the danger and fight together at full power.
• The watching Great Powers are stunned by the disparity between Meng Chuan and the four attackers, unable to reconcile his feat with their understanding of cultivation.

Significant themes

• Authority over the rules: Meng Chuan’s power is not merely force; as a Great Dao Spirit, he can steer the system’s natural evolution.
• Destiny and legitimacy: His claim to embody Heaven’s decree reflects his genuine union with the Great Dao, not simple arrogance.
• Power’s limits: Meng Chuan’s state appears nearly certain to ensure Transcendence, but its impermanence means he cannot rely on it forever.
• Escalating cosmic conflict: The struggle moves beyond individual combat, threatening time, worlds, civilizations, and the structure of the Chaos Sea itself.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan overwhelms four Limitless Ones—the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition, and two Buddhist powers—with a single hand, leaving wounds that their powers struggle to heal.
• The watching Great Powers and the remaining six Limitless Ones are stunned. The Chaos Heavenly Emperor concludes that Meng Chuan has mastered many additional Daos and can now wield their full power without the Great Dao’s usual restrictions.
• The four attack again together, combining demonic force, imperial authority, and Buddhist power. Meng Chuan counters with another palm that compresses space, time, and the Great Dao itself.
• His strike devastates their combined assault: the demonic force disappears, the Emperor’s power breaks, the Buddhas and Pure Lands collapse, and all four suffer severe damage. Meng Chuan challenges anyone else to oppose him.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan displays a dramatic increase in power and complete confidence. He treats the four Limitless Ones as inadequate opponents and appears willing to face all challengers.
• The four attackers shift from disbelief to desperation, joining forces and unleashing their full strength, yet remain badly outmatched.
• The other Limitless Ones and watching Great Powers become fearful and cautious, recognizing that Meng Chuan may be approaching a level beyond ordinary Limitless Ones.

Significant themes

• Overwhelming power: Meng Chuan’s strength has advanced so far that even four top-tier opponents cannot meaningfully resist him.
• Escalation and transcendence: His mastery of additional Daos may allow him to overcome the Great Dao’s restrictions and possibly transcend it.
• Pride and resistance: The four fight on partly to defend their standing, even when retreat or victory seems unlikely.

Character interactions

• Meng Chuan’s calm, dismissive attacks contrast with the four Limitless Ones’ combined, increasingly desperate resistance.
• The Chaos Heavenly Emperor explains Meng Chuan’s likely source of growth to the other Limitless Ones, while Jieyin warns that this progress could lead to transcendence.
• The remaining observers keep their distance, watching the confrontation but unwilling to intervene.

Key plot points and events

• After defeating the four Limitless Ones again, Meng Chuan challenges every powerful being present to attack him together. His power is still increasing, and he now dismisses ordinary and Near-Limitless Chaos Ones as irrelevant.
• His strikes leave lasting damage to the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition, the Chaos Heavenly Emperor, and the two Buddhist Limitless Ones, harming their bodies, Origins, and Great Daos.
• The Demon urges the other Limitless Ones to intervene, warning that Meng Chuan may make his Dao the sole Origin and take the chance at Transcendence for himself. Meng Chuan silences him with a devastating blow.
• Pangu joins the fight, first helping the wounded recover. Minghe, the Ancestral Dragon, the Ancestral Phoenix, and the Heavenly Court Sub-Emperor also enter the Limitless Domain. Their motives vary: some oppose Meng Chuan, while Minghe hopes to gain insight by testing himself against him.
• Meng Chuan calls on the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Suirenshi, and the remaining powerful beings to join the battle. He declares that he will suppress every Limitless One, become Dao Ancestor, and bring all Daos, sects, and teachings within Great Luo and Primordial Unity.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan has become emotionally detached: his memories remain, but the warmth associated with them is gone. He treats former allies and enemies alike as strangers and intends to face everyone who answers his challenge.
• The Demon of the Dao’s Opposition shifts from enduring Meng Chuan’s attacks to trying to rally the others by warning of the stakes. Meng Chuan responds with contempt and force.
• Pangu approaches with respect for Meng Chuan’s talent, but still asks him to demonstrate his power; he also aids the injured Limitless Ones.
• Minghe is motivated less by political opposition than by the chance to advance beyond his long-stalled Near-Limitless state.
• Suirenshi appears reluctant to fight and silently acknowledges a debt to Meng Chuan.

Significant themes

• Power and transcendence: Meng Chuan’s union with the Primordial Unity Dao allows his strength and comprehension to keep growing, raising the possibility that he could surpass the Great Dao and Chaos.
• Unity versus plurality: His ambition to fold every Dao and teaching into Primordial Unity threatens the independence of the other paths.
• Conflicting motives: The same confrontation means different things to different participants—resistance, self-preservation, repayment, or a chance to learn.
• Isolation through power: Meng Chuan’s immense strength is paired with emotional estrangement, making even familiar relationships seem meaningless to him.
