Chapter Summaries

Plot and events

• Meng Chuan asks why Shi Hao has appeared to speak with him. Shi Hao reveals he has crossed the Heavens, passed through the Sacrificial Sea and entered the Calamity Land, aiming for the uncanny’s ancestral land.
• Shi Hao explains that the uncanny have many Immortal Emperors—called End-of-the-Road beings—and that such beings can return if traces or memories of them persist.
• The Corpse Immortal Emperor, whom Shi Hao once killed, is dead but could be revived. Shi Hao is considering bringing him back because he was originally on their side, corrupted through the uncanny’s schemes, and might fight them once cleansed.
• The uncanny vastly outnumber their opponents: Shi Hao estimates they may have more than twenty Immortal Emperors. Worse, they revive far faster than ordinary Immortal Emperors, making the conflict feel nearly unwinnable.
• Shi Hao plans to investigate the ancestral land and find or destroy the source of their rapid revivals. He senses multiple terrifying Ancestors there, likely stronger than any Immortal Emperor he has faced.
• Shi Hao admits he is unsure he will survive. He compares the mission to his earlier journey into the Foreign Realm, when he was prepared to die.
• Meng Chuan asks whether Shi Hao has come to make his final arrangements. The chapter ends before Shi Hao answers.

Character development and interactions

• Shi Hao reveals the scale of the threat and his willingness to consider reviving a former enemy for the greater cause. Despite his confidence that he can eventually defeat the uncanny, he is candid about the danger and his own uncertainty.
• Meng Chuan is shocked by the uncanny’s numbers and revival advantage. He empathizes with Shi Hao’s long history of hardship, while also recognizing the gravity of this mission.
• Their conversation is frank and familiar: Meng Chuan probes Shi Hao’s motives and concern for help, while Shi Hao wonders how much Meng Chuan knows about his past. Meng Chuan admits he knows events from Shi Hao’s childhood up to his entry into the Heavens.

Significant themes

• Overwhelming odds and endurance: Shi Hao faces enemies who vastly outnumber him and return repeatedly, yet believes persistence may eventually turn the tide.
• Sacrifice and uncertain survival: Even supreme power does not spare Shi Hao from hardship or the possibility of death.
• Redemption and uneasy alliances: Shi Hao considers restoring the Corpse Immortal Emperor, setting aside past suffering to reclaim a potential ally.
• Power and vulnerability: Immortal Emperor status is immense, but it does not guarantee victory against stronger forces or prevent loss and despair.

Key plot points and events

• Shi Hao, the Desolate Heaven Emperor, visits Meng Chuan after noticing the disturbance caused by Meng Chuan’s Law-Creation Tribulation. Shi Hao’s true body is far away in the Calamity Land, fighting several Immortal Emperors, but he insists they are no threat.
• Shi Hao explains that Meng Chuan’s strength, unusual path to immortality, and self-created law are exceptional. Meng Chuan accepts the praise readily—especially when Shi Hao compliments his appearance.
• Meng Chuan suspects Shi Hao is flattering him because they met in the Chaotic Ancient Era, or because Meng Chuan’s future self traveled into the past. Shi Hao laughs off both possibilities and says he simply wanted to meet him.
• Shi Hao offers to open a “back door” with his sword strike, helping Meng Chuan create enough Other Selves to pursue a breakthrough to Legend. Meng Chuan accepts.
• Meng Chuan asks about the Boundary Sea’s destruction. Shi Hao explains that enemies sent lesser forces to cause trouble there, while his main priority was protecting the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. His sword strike was never meant to shield the entire Boundary Sea.
• Shi Hao conjures a table and tea, turning the conversation into a friendly visit.

Significant themes

• Recognition across eras: Meng Chuan wonders whether their connection reaches beyond the present, though no past meeting is confirmed.
• Ambition and exceptional paths: Shi Hao recognizes Meng Chuan’s extraordinary cultivation route and potential.
• Protection and limits of power: Shi Hao prioritizes safeguarding his true homeland rather than attempting to protect every part of the Boundary Sea.
• Humor and humility: Their banter undercuts the distance between an Immortal Emperor and a rising cultivator, making their encounter feel personal rather than formal.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan meets Shi Hao in the Dao Realm, where they share tea and discuss cultivation. Shi Hao reveals that Immortal Peak lies beyond Red Dust Immortal.

• Shi Hao gives Meng Chuan coordinates for worlds across the Boundary Sea, making it easier for him to travel and create Other Selves. He warns that some worlds have fallen to darkness.
• Meng Chuan shows Shi Hao Black Blood from four True Immortals. Shi Hao confirms that the blood marks a cultivation system corrupted by the uncanny side, which can poison a civilization’s path at its source.
• They discuss Dao Ancestors—figures who create or greatly expand cultivation systems—and the unique potential of the Body-as-Seed Method. Shi Hao hints that he sensed a world Meng Chuan influenced, but Meng Chuan denies knowing anything about it.
• Shi Hao declines to teach Meng Chuan, so as not to interfere with his personal cultivation path. He also refuses Meng Chuan’s offer to teach him the Tomb of the Gods Method and Other Selves, then leaves to confront more Immortal Emperor-level enemies.
• After Shi Hao departs, Meng Chuan realizes he could have asked for Immortal King scriptures. A jade slip appears, apparently supplied by Shi Hao after all. Meng Chuan also discovers Shi Hao never drank his tea: Shi Hao had secretly spiked it and planned to knock over Meng Chuan’s cup if he tried it.

• The tea prank adds a final comic twist to their otherwise weighty discussion, showing that even these powerful figures enjoy provoking each other.

Significant themes

• Independent cultivation: A powerful guide can help, but personal breakthroughs must remain one’s own.

• Still irritated, Meng Chuan decides to keep the Sacred Body away from future students, especially Ye Fan. He considers having Wushi train Ye Fan, then gets sidetracked imagining them as heirs to his “throne.”
• Meng Chuan settles down and prepares for seclusion, while also chatting through the group as his multiple selves.
• Dugu Baitian joins the conversation, appreciating the group’s vast collection of cultivation knowledge. As he is about to discuss cultivation, he notices a grave in the cemetery move: the ten-thousand-year mark has arrived.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan shows patience about his own advancement despite the looming threat, but also a comic, irritable side when confronted with the Sacred Body’s reasoning. His exchange with Dugu Baitian reveals his welcoming, playful role in the group.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan takes on his familiar mentor role, while also indulging in playful banter and mutual flattery with Dugu Baitian.
• Dugu Baitian, a remnant left by his past death and sustained by the Tomb of the Gods Method, is impressed by Meng Chuan’s immense power. He is polite and reserved, answering Meng Chuan’s praise in kind.
• Meng Qi reveals his competitive, comic side: he resents being excluded from the praise and interrupts the exchange.
• Zhang Sanfeng continues advancing his Martial Dao, aspiring to unite his Golden Body, Primordial Spirit, and Dharma Appearance. His visit to Mount Tai brings him into the Mountain God’s company once more.
• Bibi Dong receives a visitor seeking cultivation knowledge. Though she recognizes him from her past, she has moved beyond old resentment and treats him as a stranger, reflecting her changed outlook and present identity.

Significant themes

• When Chen Nan calls out to the heavens, Meng Chuan appears and introduces himself as “the Heavens’ grandfather”—a boast that leaves Chen Nan baffled and wary.

• Meng Chuan reveals that he knows Chen Nan’s name and father, but defers questions about Chen Nan’s resurrection and purpose with “You’ll understand later.” Chen Nan catches on and finishes the line for him.

Character development and interactions

• Chen Nan moves from confusion and disbelief to cautious suspicion, then to reluctant acceptance that Meng Chuan is in control. His quick-witted response at the end shows he can adapt to Meng Chuan’s evasiveness.
• Meng Chuan acts theatrically and cryptically, enjoying the chance to keep Chen Nan guessing. His casual slap and magical transport show how easily he can overpower Chen Nan, though his odd, intangible body briefly surprises even him.
• Dugu Baitian observes from the group’s hidden space rather than revealing himself. He trusts Meng Chuan to handle the situation and suspects the Heavenly Dao would fare badly in a fight with him.
• The chat-group members tease Meng Chuan for his grandiose declarations and urge Dugu Baitian to stop him, while Dugu Baitian—unfamiliar with their idea of “showing off”—sees such boasts as normal among powerful experts.

Significant themes

• Mystery and delayed revelation: Chen Nan’s revival, his father’s identity, and his mission remain unexplained.
• Humor amid the supernatural: The ominous graveyard setting is undercut by Meng Chuan’s absurd boasts, Chen Nan’s ghost theory, and their increasingly familiar banter.
• Power and confidence: Meng Chuan’s effortless control contrasts with Chen Nan’s present vulnerability, while Dugu Baitian’s confidence hints at the scale of the conflict to come.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan accompanies the newly awakened Chen Nan to a village, where he comically pretends to interpret between Chen Nan and the nearly toothless Tomb Keeper. His “translations” are invented nonsense, leaving Chen Nan confused and increasingly annoyed.
• After Chen Nan goes inside to wash, the Tomb Keeper questions Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan jokes that everyone who has seen him is dead, then casually claims he has fought Heaven before.
• When Meng Chuan playfully extracts the Tomb Keeper’s black-and-white Life-and-Death Qi and rolls it into a pellet, Dugu Baitian reveals himself to prevent the encounter from escalating. Meng Chuan recognizes him and returns the pellet.
• Dugu Baitian explains that Chen Nan may still have a role in his plan, but the Chat Group gives him the possibility of confronting the Heavenly Dao without waiting for the final battle. He declines Meng Chuan’s offer to handle the conflict, though he may seek help if Heaven attacks early.
• To remove that danger, Meng Chuan goes straight to the Fallen Heavenly Dao and strikes it with the first form of Tathagata’s Palm, “Only I Am Supreme.” The attack badly cracks and wounds it. Meng Chuan leaves before it can respond.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is playful, irreverent, and utterly unconstrained by status or danger. He teases Chen Nan and the Tomb Keeper, but also offers Dugu Baitian practical support and swiftly neutralizes a major threat.
• Chen Nan is disoriented after awakening in a changed world and cannot understand the old man’s speech. Meng Chuan’s fake interpreting adds to his confusion and frustration.

• The contrast between ordinary confusion and cosmic stakes: Chen Nan’s bewilderment and the village’s comic scene sit alongside the impending battle against a realm-defining force.

Key plot points and events

• The Tomb Keeper asks who Meng Chuan is after witnessing him nearly destroy the Heavenly Dao with a single strike. Dugu Baitian identifies him as the Heavenly Emperor.
• Meng Chuan explains that the Heavenly Dao has already sent agents to interfere, likely after its failed attempt to join the Chat Group alerted it.
• He estimates that the Heavenly Dao once reached Quasi-Immortal King strength but has weakened to roughly mid-tier True Immortal. The world’s shrinking and the destruction of worlds by powerful cultivators have damaged its source of power; its corruption and loss of impartiality have weakened it further.
• Meng Chuan outlines how the eventual war against Heaven can succeed: Dugu Baitian and three other experts will push their souls beyond their limits, sacrificing their lives to wound the Heavenly Dao, while Chen Nan’s final strike will help destroy it.
• Dugu Baitian remains determined to kill the fallen Heavenly Dao and says he will leave the problem of governing the world afterward to his future self.

Character developments

• Dugu Baitian gains a clearer understanding of the Heavenly Dao’s strength, decline, and vulnerability. He reflects on how past battles helped weaken the very force he opposes, but his resolve to destroy its corrupted form does not change.
• The Tomb Keeper is overwhelmed by Meng Chuan’s power and by the unfamiliar cultivation ranks he describes.
• Meng Chuan acts as both overwhelming protector and detached adviser: he gives Dugu Baitian crucial knowledge but leaves the world’s future to him.

Significant themes

• Karma and responsibility: The struggle began with the actions of living beings and will ultimately be resolved by them.
• Power carries a cost: Destroying worlds weakens the cosmos and its Heavenly Dao, even when those acts are part of resistance against it.

• Dugu thanks Meng Chuan for buying him time; Meng Chuan brushes off the thanks and offers strategic context instead.
• Their exchange contrasts Dugu’s personal commitment to the coming war with Meng Chuan’s outsider perspective: he provides the explanation, but leaves the responsibility for the world’s future to Dugu.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan asks Dugu Baitian about the Chen family’s Demon-Summoning Scripture, hoping its soul-gathering method might be adapted for use with emperors’ corpses.

• Dugu chooses Meng Chuan’s version of Heaven-Severing’s fifth style and leaves eagerly to study it.
• Left with the old gravekeeper, Meng Chuan encounters Chen Nan after he finishes washing. Chen Nan, unaware of the extraordinary events that occurred nearby, tries to leave.

• Meng Chuan sends Chen Nan on his way, says goodbye to the gravekeeper, and leaves after noticing a message from Bibi Dong.

• Chen Nan remains cautious and resourceful: recognizing he is outmatched, he tries flattery to avoid provoking Meng Chuan. He receives a mysterious weapon despite being skeptical of its power.
• The old gravekeeper is impressed by Meng Chuan’s strength and envies the opportunity Chen Nan receives.

Significant themes

• Knowledge-sharing across worlds: Experts exchange techniques while preserving the personal nature of their insights and legacies.
• Power and individuality: Learning a renowned art does not make someone its original master; cultivation remains shaped by the practitioner.
• Chance encounters and mentorship: Meng Chuan turns an intimidating meeting into an unexpected gift for Chen Nan.
• Humor amid cosmic stakes: The serious discussion of divine arts and the Heavenly Dao contrasts with Chen Nan’s mundane misunderstanding and Meng Chuan’s teasing.

Character interactions

• Meng Chuan and Chen Nan engage in a comic exchange: Meng Chuan intimidates him, Chen Nan flatters him, and Meng Chuan rewards him with the stick.

• Bibi Dong announces that Yu Xiaogang has come to consult her about developing theories, possibly similar to his earlier “Top Ten Martial Souls” ideas. The group urges her to livestream their meeting.
• Meng Chuan declines to visit Bibi Dong’s world in person. He sees no meaningful connection between himself and Yu Xiaogang, and thinks Bibi Dong’s knowledge of the Shrouding Method has already been shared widely; further progress depends on individual talent, effort, and opportunity.
• During the livestream, Bibi Dong greets the group. Members admire her beauty, and Jiraiya reacts enthusiastically before Meng Chuan and Bibi Dong warn him to behave.
• Meng Qi jokes with the group, then discovers that Gu Xiaosang is pregnant again. When she says their child wants to call him “Dad,” he panics and flees—only to settle down and watch Bibi Dong’s livestream.
• The group’s admiration of Bibi Dong turns into playful banter. She praises Meng Chuan and then Meng Qi, whose delight at receiving a compliment makes everyone laugh.

• Gu Xiaosang playfully surprises Meng Qi with news of another pregnancy, enjoying his predictable alarm.
• Jiraiya is openly captivated by Bibi Dong’s beauty but restrains himself after being warned.
• Yu Xiaogang is mentioned as seeking Bibi Dong’s help, but remains offscreen; Meng Chuan questions the value of his proposed theories.

Significant themes

• Changed circumstances and severed ties: Bibi Dong’s present status means her former connection with Yu Xiaogang no longer defines her relationships.
• Knowledge versus individual potential: The Shrouding Method’s principles can be taught, but achievement ultimately depends on personal talent, effort, and opportunity.

• Beauty and playful praise: The livestream becomes a lighthearted celebration of Bibi Dong’s appearance, with compliments sparking friendly competition and laughter.

• Under Bibi Dong’s leadership, the Shrouding the Heavens Church has become a revered institution, and the world’s power is less concentrated in empires and sects. The stronger population has also replenished the world’s planetary consciousness.
• Yu Xiaogang visits Bibi Dong to propose compiling new cultivation theories. She asks whether his old theories helped powerful cultivators; he admits they did not. She points out that the Dao Scripture already explains the path in detail, from the earliest realms to Great Power.
• Bibi Dong advises Yu Xiaogang to focus on his own cultivation rather than seek recognition through theoretical work. When he asks to meet Meng Chuan, she explains that the Dao Ancestor has “ascended to immortality” and leaves the meeting to Hei Fu.
• Yu Xiaogang accepts that the new era has little need for his proposed work and resolves to cultivate diligently. Hei Fu escorts him out; Yue Mingshang goes off to play.

• Yu Xiaogang still wants to prove his worth, but recognizes that his old reputation and theories matter less in a world where comprehensive teachings are freely available. His disappointment gives way to acceptance.
• Hei Fu and Yue Mingshang show loyalty to Bibi Dong and protect the status of their master, Meng Chuan. Bibi Dong stops Yue Mingshang from speaking out of turn.
• The chapter closes with Meng Chuan jokingly objecting to Bibi Dong’s claim that he has “ascended to immortality,” since it makes him sound dead.

Significant themes

• Personal growth and letting go: Bibi Dong has made peace with the past, while Yu Xiaogang begins to release his need for recognition.
• Accessible knowledge and social change: The Dao Scripture makes advanced cultivation guidance available to everyone, weakening old hierarchies and diminishing the value of Yu Xiaogang’s would-be theories.

• A transformed world: The Shrouding Method has reshaped Douluo society, offering ordinary people a broader path to power and opportunity.

Key events

• Meng Chuan learns how Douluo Continent has changed after Bibi Dong’s reforms. Spirit Hall now functions as a cultivation association, and the old practice of killing Spirit Beasts for Soul Rings has largely disappeared as cultivators form their own rings.

• Meng Chuan and the group chat laugh over Bibi Dong’s story, especially the prospect that she could become Tang San’s godmother.
• Meng Chuan resolves to cultivate diligently, but spends the next several days lounging and eating sunflower seeds. He then imagines cultivating sacred or even immortal-grade seeds.
• To remind himself to pursue the Dao, he carves a word into his table—“Laze”—and disappears.

Character developments and interactions

• Bibi Dong is now a respected leader who supports cooperation between humans and Spirit Beasts. Her authority lets her publicly endorse Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor’s marriage; she also playfully presents Tang San’s name as a revelation from Heaven.
• Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor form a sincere relationship in a world where their peoples are no longer enemies. Their marriage becomes a public sign of changing attitudes.
• Meng Chuan remains powerful and amused by events in other worlds, but his lofty promise to cultivate clashes with his fondness for idleness. The group chat teases Bibi Dong and jokes about her becoming Tang San’s godmother.

Significant themes

• Reconciliation and social change: New cultivation practices weaken the conflict between humans and Spirit Beasts.
• Fate, tradition, and identity: Bibi Dong’s naming of Tang San gives a familiar figure a different origin and future.
• Humor and self-contradiction: Meng Chuan’s grand ambitions repeatedly yield to leisure; his motivational carving ironically reads “Laze.”

Key events

• After extensive research and experiments with constructed suns, accelerated time, and his knowledge of alchemy, formations, and related arts, Meng Chuan succeeds. The process also gives him insight into a possible longevity method.
• His Attendants, Huang Tian and Divine Mark, gain enlightenment from observing the sunflower’s transformation. Meng Chuan sends them to face their tribulations, and both begin attaining the Dao together—an unprecedented spectacle that amazes the Universe.
• The other emperors gather to see Meng Chuan’s achievement. The Black Emperor eagerly eyes the sunflower’s seeds, while Meng Chuan remarks that he cultivated the medicine largely so he could have an ample supply of snacks.

Character developments and interactions

• Great Accomplishment Sacred Body enthusiastically offers to help, even suggesting his blood as fertilizer, but Meng Chuan declines because he remembers a prior philosophical disagreement.
• Wushi and the Black Emperor arrive together. The dog’s greed for the seeds briefly competes with his instinct to stay on Meng Chuan’s good side. Meng Chuan also teases him for pretending he could not visit despite living in the Dao Realm.

Significant themes

• Cultivation through observation and shared knowledge: Meng Chuan’s experiment becomes a source of insight for his Attendants and, indirectly, the wider world.
• Power and responsibility: Meng Chuan’s influence enables others to advance, while the Black Emperor’s behavior is restrained by the consequences of abusing his connections.
• Playful ambition: A seemingly frivolous desire—having endless sunflower seeds—drives an extraordinary feat, blending humor with serious cultivation and discovery.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan explains that his Sunflower Seed Tree’s transformation into an Immortal Divine Medicine revealed truths about the Great Dao, fortune, and longevity. That insight helped his Attendants Huang Tian and Divine Mark complete their breakthroughs and undergo Great Emperor Tribulations.
• The Dao Realm’s residents watch the tribulations with relaxed confidence, certain nothing can go wrong. Ji Lianxing jokes that she and Jiang Daoran might have advanced too if they had joined Meng Chuan’s earlier experiment.
• Meng Chuan offers to suppress Heaven and Earth so Ji Lianxing and Jiang Daoran can attain the Dao more easily. They refuse: they want to become emperors through their own strength, even if it takes much longer.
• Huang Tian and Divine Mark complete their tribulations. Their power shakes the Cosmic Frontier, demonstrating the extraordinary nature of two Immortal Metal Saint Spirits who have attained the Dao against Heaven and the Myriad Daos.
• Back in the Dao Realm, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, Gu Cang, mockingly hails them as Heavenly Emperors. They immediately attack him together and overpower him.
• Meng Chuan prepares a celebratory snack of sunflower seeds and Enlightenment Tea, then notices Ruthless is absent and invites her to join the gathering.

Character developments and interactions

• Huang Tian and Divine Mark reach a long-awaited milestone, feeling satisfied that they are one step closer to serving their “Great Master.” Their victory earns them playful, exaggerated respect from Gu Cang.
• Ji Lianxing and Jiang Daoran reveal their patience and pride. They prefer a hard-won attainment of the Dao to a shortcut, and their affectionate teasing contrasts with the many unattached figures around them.
• Meng Chuan remains generous and humorous: he offers to help his friends advance, teases Ji Lianxing and the single Black Emperor, and gathers everyone to celebrate.
• The Dao Realm’s group shares easy camaraderie, joking about romance and loneliness. The chapter also notes that Wushi never met the Female Saint who admired him in another version of events; she instead lived a happy life with her own partner.

Significant themes

• Self-earned achievement: Ji Lianxing and Jiang Daoran value struggle and personal merit over an assisted breakthrough.
• The power of cultivation and origins: The divine medicine’s revelations help trigger breakthroughs, while Huang Tian and Divine Mark’s unprecedented Immortal Metal origins make their achievement especially remarkable.
• Alternate paths and avoided regrets: Wushi’s missed encounter with the Female Saint is presented not as tragedy, but as a different life in which both found their own paths.
• Companionship and humor: Amid immense cosmic events, the characters’ teasing, affection, and shared celebration keep their community warm and grounded.

Key events

• Meng Chuan explains the Demon-Summoning Scripture, a technique that can gather traces of the dead and awaken their souls. Its results may be better than ordinary corpse-sentience, though a true resurrection is uncertain.
• The Void Emperor, Emperor Hengyu, and Xi Emperor may have a stronger chance of returning because their descendants still carry fragments of their spirits. Other emperors without descendants might regain memories and awaken more quickly, but full revival would be difficult.
• Amitabha sees his Faith Body, Dharmakaya, and imperial corpse as parts of one existence and plans to sacrifice himself to summon his full self back when the time is right. Meng Chuan believes he has the best chance of revival.
• Ruthless accepts that the technique cannot restore her brother: he died young and left no lasting traces.
• Rather than modify the scripture himself, Meng Chuan distributes it to the emperors and powerful cultivators, asking them to study it and develop a version compatible with the body-as-seed approach. He then leaves them to the work.

Character developments and interactions

• Ji Lianxing and Jiang Daoran are eager to revive their ancestors. Ji Lianxing initially wants her family to begin practicing immediately, but Meng Chuan tells her the technique needs modification first.
• Meng Chuan balances their hopes with caution, emphasizing that worlds’ different cultivation laws make the outcome unpredictable.
• Amitabha displays composure and acceptance, while Ruthless calmly recognizes the limits of what the technique can do for her.
• Meng Chuan turns a serious undertaking into an opportunity for others to improve, assigning the scripture to a wide circle of cultivators. The emperors suspect he is using the task to avoid doing the work himself.
• In private, Meng Chuan is pleased with his delegation and imagines creating a “production line” for modifying techniques.

Significant themes

• Memory, legacy, and resurrection: Descendants, faith, and spiritual traces can preserve the dead and perhaps help restore them.
• Cross-world possibility: A technique from another cultivation system may solve problems that seem impossible within this world’s rules.
• Hope tempered by uncertainty: Revival is possible but never guaranteed, and Meng Chuan avoids promising more than he can deliver.
• Delegation and ingenuity: Meng Chuan turns a daunting task into a shared opportunity—and a convenient way to make use of his powerful allies.

Chapter summary

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan leaves the emperors to improve their cultivation method after confirming they are making sound progress. He realizes he should delegate more and coordinate from behind the scenes.
• He opens a Jade Slip from Shi Hao, expecting valuable techniques. Instead, it contains a series of taunts demanding that Meng Chuan call him “Brother Shi Hao.” Annoyed, Meng Chuan crushes it.
• In the Calamity Land, Shi Hao senses the slip’s destruction and jokes about their old grievances. He then wonders whether events he thought were causes in the Chaotic Ancient Era may actually have been effects of actions in the present—perhaps meaning he created his own past troubles. Before he can resolve the paradox, Weird Immortal Emperors attack, and he meets their assault with overwhelming force.
• The Chat Group reveals that Lu Mingfei is heading to Japan to see Eri and complete a mission, including killing nonhuman threats. He describes how much his life has changed since enrolling at Cassell College.
• Lu Mingfei is now an exceptionally powerful and popular student who conceals most of his abilities. He has repelled major dragon threats, become vice president of the Lionheart Club, and expects to inherit its leadership when Chu Zihang leaves for an assignment.
• Meng Chuan is pleased to hear that Lu Mingfei is thriving, but recalls that unresolved dangers remain in Lu Mingfei’s world.

Character developments and interactions

• Shi Hao continues his irreverent rivalry with Meng Chuan, then becomes unsettled by the possibility that he may have caused his own past misfortunes. His anger carries into his battle with the Weird Immortal Emperors.
• Lu Mingfei has transformed from an overlooked student into a self-assured, highly capable figure. He is no longer Nono’s lovesick follower and is focused on Eri; he also trusts Chu Zihang enough to reveal some of his true strength.
• Meng Qi, Fei Peng, Yan Chixia, and Yao Chen tease Lu Mingfei or joke about the group’s responsibilities, while Meng Chuan steers the conversation back to Lu Mingfei’s news.
• Chu Zihang knows some of Lu Mingfei’s secrets but is portrayed as discreet and trustworthy. Angers is said to favor Lu Mingfei and help conceal his exceptional abilities.

Significant themes

• Delegation and responsibility: Meng Chuan recognizes that powerful figures need not personally manage every task.
• Cause and effect: Shi Hao’s sudden suspicion that present actions may have shaped his past introduces a paradox about fate and responsibility.
• Hidden strength and restraint: Lu Mingfei keeps his power largely concealed, balancing extraordinary ability against the need to live within his world.
• Growth and changed identity: Lu Mingfei’s new confidence and status contrast sharply with his former image as a hapless student.
• Camaraderie through teasing: The exchanges among Meng Chuan, Shi Hao, and the Chat Group members show affection and familiarity beneath their mockery.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan recalls a Space-Time Passage that appeared in Lu Mingfei’s world during his previous visit. Now confident enough to face whatever lies beyond it—and concerned that the danger could threaten Lu Mingfei’s world—he decides to return.
• Lu Mingfei panics, assuming Meng Chuan is coming to fight and may endanger the planet. Meng Chuan dismisses his worry and says he has more important business.
• Jiraiya reveals that Lu Mingfei once sent him explicit material in return for ninjutsu. The group seizes on the disclosure, teasing Lu Mingfei and demanding details.
• The story explains the embarrassing aftermath at Cassell College: the school’s AI monitored Lu Mingfei’s searches, Principal Angers repeatedly tried to steer him toward dating, and the Board of Trustees ultimately approved a large “S-Class physiological relief fund.”
• Humiliated, Lu Mingfei leaves the chat, while the other members laugh. Meng Chuan then prepares to travel to Lu Mingfei’s world.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is more confident than on his previous visit and acts out of concern for the danger facing Lu Mingfei’s world. He also enjoys the group’s teasing.

• At Cassell, Angers is comically overinvolved in Lu Mingfei’s personal life, while Chu Zihang is where Lu Mingfei turns to vent his frustration.

Significant themes

• Cross-world responsibility: Meng Chuan returns because an unresolved threat could endanger Lu Mingfei’s world.
• Friendship and embarrassment: Jiraiya’s earlier gift of ninjutsu and Lu Mingfei’s reciprocal gift form a sincere exchange, but its public exposure turns into a running joke.
• Group camaraderie through teasing: The chat’s mock outrage and laughter show how the members bond, though Lu Mingfei bears the brunt of it.
• Satire of privilege and bureaucracy: Cassell’s serious-sounding concern for an S-Class student leads to the absurd creation of a “physiological relief fund.”

Chapter Summary

• Meng Chuan returns to the Dragon Race’s world, retrieves the mark he left near the Moon, and challenges the presence hidden there. Grey Mist spreads through space, awakening the Starry Sky and filling it with watching eyes.
• People across the Planet—including humans, hybrids, and Dragon Kings—witness the strange scene. Seeing it exposes them to a powerful corruption: some hear whispers, while others undergo grotesque bodily changes.
• Lu Mingze recognizes Meng Chuan and realizes the Moon’s visitor is connected to the corruption. When he begins mutating, he panics and attacks Lu Mingfei inside a dream. Lu Mingfei keeps him at bay and asks Meng Chuan to intervene.
• Meng Chuan halts the corruption’s spread and heals those affected, then waits for the presence to fully emerge. He recognizes the phantom castle as the Source Castle and reflects on Source Substance and the still-unknown state of its world.
• The entity’s power opens every door on the Planet, including the door of Lu Mingfei’s plane. A black-robed figure finally emerges as the Grey Mist gathers into it, and Meng Chuan greets it as the Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven Heavenly Venerable.

Character Developments and Interactions

• Meng Chuan remains calm and curious in the face of an alien, reality-warping force. He protects those exposed to it but otherwise waits to assess the entity.
• Lu Mingze shifts from his usual role as Lu Mingfei’s mysterious helper to a frightened victim who needs his brother’s help. His remark that he has failed to make a deal reinforces his devilish self-image.
• Lu Mingfei responds to his brother’s transformation with humor and concern, then appeals to Meng Chuan for help.
• Meng Chuan’s intervention links the distant confrontation to the characters on the Planet, while his greeting signals the beginning of a direct encounter with the Heavenly Venerable.

Significant Themes

• The danger of forbidden knowledge: Merely witnessing the entity can corrupt and physically transform people.
• Cosmic horror and alien power: The awakened Starry Sky and the entity’s control over doors suggest a force operating by unfamiliar rules.
• Protection amid overwhelming danger: Meng Chuan’s restraint and intervention contrast with the chaos caused by the entity’s presence.
• Humor as contrast: Lu Mingfei’s teasing and Lu Mingze’s panic provide comic relief amid the chapter’s body horror.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan’s voice causes the starry sky to proclaim the titles of the Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven Heavenly Venerable. Their awe inspires devotion in some Dragon Kings, though Meng Chuan protects the humans and dragons below from the words’ harmful effects.
• On a chartered plane, Lu Mingfei jokes with his brother Lu Mingze about being monsters. He then shares the Heavenly Venerable’s titles in the Chat Group, asking if anyone recognizes the world. The others do not; Meng Qi quickly excuses himself, while the Ancient One appears to recognize the setting.
• Meng Chuan meets the Heavenly Venerable, whom he had imprisoned in an incarnation two years earlier. The Heavenly Venerable proposes coexistence, explaining that this world’s stable rules have eased his madness and made it feel like paradise.
• Meng Chuan refuses: although he might tolerate the Heavenly Venerable elsewhere, he will not let him remain in Lu Mingfei’s world.
• The Heavenly Venerable uses the Fool pathway’s “Fooling” authority to briefly dull Meng Chuan’s mind. Meng Chuan quickly recovers, having deliberately lowered his own power to experience the technique. He treats the encounter as a controlled experiment rather than a serious contest.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan remains confident and protective of Lu Mingfei’s world. His playful self-assurance extends to treating a dangerous clash as research, though he is also careful to preserve his heroic image in the Chat Group.
• The Heavenly Venerable shows an unusual desire for peace, partly because the world’s order gives him relief from the threat of losing control. His offer is sincere, but he also knows he cannot defeat Meng Chuan.
• Lu Mingfei and Lu Mingze banter about their monstrous abilities, with Lu Mingfei openly embracing his “cheater” status.
• The Chat Group provides a contrast between the characters’ limited understanding and Meng Chuan’s direct involvement; Meng Qi’s alarm suggests he knows how dangerous this situation may be.

Significant themes

• Protection versus coexistence: Meng Chuan’s refusal is grounded in responsibility for Lu Mingfei’s world, even when the Heavenly Venerable seeks refuge rather than conquest.
• Order and madness: The stable world offers the Heavenly Venerable a rare respite from corruption and chaos.
• Power and confidence: Meng Chuan can afford to experiment with an enemy’s abilities because he believes the outcome is secure.
• Image and humor: The chapter balances cosmic horror and danger with banter and Meng Chuan’s comic concern for how he appears to his peers.

Plot and key events

• Meng Chuan taunts Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven, then demonstrates an ability resembling the Fool’s authority, landing a punch. Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven escapes by creating a loophole and substituting a Worm of Time clone.
• Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven attacks with the Door’s authority: tentacles, stolen intentions, Spirit Body Threads, interference with Meng Chuan’s Gates of Potential, parasitism, and theft of his power. He ultimately banishes Meng Chuan through a door and makes space itself behave like dirt, preventing an easy escape.
• Meng Chuan remains fascinated rather than alarmed, treating the strange abilities as a chance to study a different system of power. Beyond the door, Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven grafts suns and other stars onto his concepts, then intensifies the assault with collapsing space and accumulating negative effects.
• On the planet below, Taiyang’s light and heat briefly vanish, plunging the world into darkness and causing disturbances. Lu Mingze clings anxiously to Lu Mingfei, who reprimands him and sets him beside him.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is confident, playful, and intellectually curious. He adapts to unfamiliar powers by observing them and thinking in terms of the Dao, even while being trapped and weakened.
• Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven proves resourceful and formidable, combining the powers of Error, Fooling, and the Door. He learns from Meng Chuan during their exchange, but recognizes that Meng Chuan is stronger and resorts to a barrage of layered attacks.
• Their encounter is a contest of experimentation as much as combat: Meng Chuan provokes and studies his opponent, while Blessed Life, Yellow Heaven tests ways to deceive, control, and contain him.
• Lu Mingze and Lu Mingfei provide a brief comic contrast to the cosmic battle: one panics and seeks protection; the other responds with embarrassed irritation.

Significant themes

• Power through concepts and systems: The chapter contrasts Meng Chuan’s Dao-based understanding with the Lord of Mysteries’ specialized authorities.
• Learning through conflict: Both combatants gain insight from their brief exchange.
• Deception and perception: Fooling, loopholes, and altered assumptions—such as space believing it is dirt—show how reality can be manipulated by changing how it is understood.
• Cosmic danger versus human vulnerability: The battle threatens a sun, while ordinary people below can only react helplessly to its effects.
