Summary

Key plot points

• The Overlord explains Lifetime’s cultivation path to Meng Chuan: opening the apertures, forming Inner and Outer Scenery, cultivating a Dharma Appearance, merging it into a Dharmakaya, and eventually reaching Legend.
• His account makes clear how far a Legend surpasses ordinary cultivators: Legends are unique across worlds and draw power from projections throughout countless universes. Meng Chuan realizes he cannot defeat the Overlord on those terms, though he wonders whether the balance might differ in a world where the Overlord has no projections.
• During their three years together, the two spar dozens of times and trade victories. The Overlord shares experience and warnings about cultivation pitfalls, but no specific techniques, as Meng Chuan had requested.
• When their time together ends, Meng Chuan suspects the Overlord is doomed to die at the hands of the Demon Buddha, despite having reached Legend early. He also suspects the Heavenly Emperor arranged his trip to the Medieval Era, perhaps with the Virtuous Heavenly Venerable’s cooperation.
• Meng Chuan leaves. The Overlord, now aware that Meng Chuan comes from another era, plans to preserve his story and hopes to surprise him in the future.
• Unsure where to go next, Meng Chuan considers returning to the Shrouding the Heavens world. In a livestream, he decides instead to warn the Overlord and flee, despite being told that established history cannot be changed while the Demon Buddha lives.
• Meng Qi angrily warns Meng Chuan not to escape through the Chat Group and threatens to kill him. Meng Chuan unmutes him, reads the message, then immediately mutes him again as murderous intent rises.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan learns the broad principles of Lifetime’s higher realms and grows fond of the Overlord during their years of teaching and combat. He remains troubled by the Overlord’s fate and by the hidden motives behind his own time displacement. His resolve to warn the Overlord shows that he cares despite recognizing the likely futility.
• The Overlord remains proud and commanding, but companionship with Meng Chuan changes him. He values having a fellow traveler on the Dao and adopts a trace of Meng Chuan’s manner. He treats Meng Chuan’s unusual origin with acceptance and affection.
• The Fifth-Generation Mysterious Maiden notices the Overlord’s change and gently points it out.
• Meng Qi supplies comic hostility through the livestream and private messages; his threats turn the farewell into an abrupt, humorous clash.
• Zhang Sanfeng and the Ancient One question Meng Chuan’s plan and emphasize that the Overlord’s death is fixed history.

Significant themes

• The chapter contrasts cultivation systems and levels of power, while stressing that strength depends on the rules and circumstances of a world.
• It explores fate versus intervention: Meng Chuan knows the Overlord’s death is established history but still wants to warn him.
• Companionship can change even an intensely arrogant figure, while the approaching separation gives their bond a bittersweet quality.
• Humor—from the “Fat Tiger and Suneo” running joke to Meng Qi’s threats—offsets the serious themes of power, destiny, and loss.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan visits Tusita Palace and tells the Virtuous Heavenly Venerable he will not return to his original world. He asks to leave the Heaven-Cutting Tathagata there for Meng Qi, and assumes the Heavenly Venerable’s silences mean agreement.
• He asks about the Heavenly Emperor and the Overlord. The Heavenly Venerable replies cryptically that “everything remains as it was” and that “when the cause arises, the effect follows.”
• As Meng Chuan leaves, Golden Horn and Silver Horn tease him for dropping something. He discovers and retrieves four books whose titles combine to read Dropped My Dignity—a gift from the Heavenly Venerable that delights him.
• Meng Chuan’s emergence from Tusita Palace alarms observers across the Medieval Era. They suspect he is a secret contingency of the Three Pure Ones, though he knows nothing of the rumors.
• In the Real World, the Overlord senses Meng Chuan’s presence or influence and gains a renewed fighting spirit, silently thanking him.
• Tens of thousands of years later, Meng Qi retrieves a bundle left for him. The first bundle contains embarrassing women’s clothing, apparently a prank by Meng Chuan. After Meng Qi angrily demands divine arts, another bundle falls from the sky, containing two saplings, a Bodhi Seed, and a book titled Biography of Fat Tiger.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan grows more direct and irreverent around the Virtuous Heavenly Venerable, treating silence as consent and asking blunt questions. He also enjoys teasing Meng Qi, though he ultimately leaves him valuable gifts.

• Unnoticed by Meng Chuan, the true meaning of the fifth Heaven-Severing sword form briefly glows with Dao light, then returns to normal.
• Before withdrawing, Meng Chuan visits the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land to ask the Ruthless Great Emperor to oversee the universe during his absence. She is asleep, so he leaves without speaking to her. He tells the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body that no one would dare cause trouble while he is away, then departs.
• Meng Chuan announces his coming seclusion in the group chat. The others tease him by presenting an image of Biography of Fat Tiger. Seeing the book, he collapses emotionally and calls himself a “broken man.” The group jokes that he has gone offline and laughs over the autobiography.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is pleased with his gains and eager to cultivate, but his grandiose confidence is undercut by his comic sensitivity to the autobiography. He acts familiar and irreverent with the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, even changing night to morning with a wave of his hand.
• The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body is weary and increasingly exasperated by Meng Chuan’s behavior. He tries to offer help with guarding the universe, but Meng Chuan dismisses the need and leaves him behind.

• Cultivation and hidden change: Meng Chuan’s new insights promise a long period of growth, while the sword-form’s fleeting glow hints at a deeper development he has not noticed.
• Power and comic arrogance: Meng Chuan’s status lets him bend appearances and brush off concerns, but it does not protect him from embarrassment.

• Back in his own world, Meng Chuan relaxes on a conjured sofa, content to be home.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan is focused on cultivation and content to withdraw from the group’s noise, but his quiet presence and use of admin powers show that he is still mischievous and in control.
• Meng Qi is increasingly wary of being manipulated by Meng Chuan. His vigilance prevents him from taking the bait, despite his usual eagerness to join group conversations.

• The city’s old streets and modest treasures remind him of his early days as a young cultivator, when everything seemed extraordinary.
• At the Ji Family’s stone market, Meng Chuan overhears a grandfather recounting the truth behind the legendary Heavenly Emperor’s first visit: young Meng Chuan tried gambling on stones, lost nearly all the source he had, and swore never to gamble again.
• The crowd rejects the story as slander, insisting the supposedly invincible Heavenly Emperor could never have lost. The grandfather takes his granddaughter into the market, while Meng Chuan remains behind, embarrassed and annoyed.
• In the group chat, Meng Chuan’s companions tease him about his youthful failure. Meng Qi jokingly reframes the loss as a world-saving act that kept the Sacred City’s stone markets—and, by an absurd chain of reasoning, the universe—alive.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is relaxed and nostalgic as he revisits familiar places, but his pride is stung when the public myth of his invincibility conflicts with his embarrassing past. He protests that losing is normal, though he knows his youthful expectations were unrealistic.
• The grandfather and Xiao Yi show how the Heavenly Emperor has become a legendary, almost flawless figure. Xiao Yi fiercely defends both the Emperor and her grandfather, even when the story embarrasses the former.
• The group members respond with affectionate mockery. Their jokes turn Meng Chuan’s loss into an exaggerated heroic sacrifice, leaving him as the group’s favorite target.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan visits the Ji Family Stone Yard, intending only to watch rather than gamble.
• A man calling himself Zhang Little Heavenly Master arrives, claiming ties to the Source Heavenly Master Lineage. He selects a famed Sun Moon Star Divine Stone, which yields Crimson Firmament Divine Iron—a valuable material for Saint King weapons.
• Emboldened by the crowd’s praise, Zhang challenges Meng Chuan, who has questioned his knowledge of Source Arts.
• Meng Chuan calmly identifies eleven stones and exposes them all at once. They contain treasures far rarer than Zhang’s find, including Nine Heavens Divine Iron, Feathered Green Gold, and a fruit of the True Dragon Immortal Divine Medicine.
• Meng Chuan declares Zhang an impostor who does not understand a true Source Heavenly Master’s arts. Zhang realizes his scheme against the lineage has been exposed.
• Meng Chuan orders that the treasures be delivered to Ji Lianxing, the Ji Family’s Quasi-Emperor head. Saint King Kongyuan obeys, revealing Meng Chuan’s immense standing.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan begins as a detached observer, but the commentary’s teasing prompts him to see it as his duty to stop Zhang’s boastful display. He remains composed and generous, giving the treasures to the Ji Family.
• Zhang Little Heavenly Master moves from confident showmanship to public humiliation. His success with one stone wins the crowd’s admiration, but Meng Chuan’s much greater feat exposes both his limited skill and his false identity.
• The crowd first admires Zhang and his apparent Source Arts, then turns to astonishment at Meng Chuan’s abilities and status.

Plot and events

• After leaving the Ji Family Stone Workshop, Meng Chuan tours the Sacred City’s other stone workshops, pretending to be an ordinary passerby. Though he buys nothing, he points out valuable stones and artifacts—and tells the crowd about the ancient Solar Celestial Venerable, whom he once met in the River of Time.
• At Yaochi’s workshop, his cryptic praise persuades a young man to buy a stone that contains Saint Material. The young man is amazed, but cannot remember Meng Chuan’s face.
• At the Jiang Family workshop, Meng Chuan identifies a weapon fragment as part of Solar Celestial Venerable’s Solar Celestial Wheel. The crowd dismisses his claim that he met the ancient figure as a joke. Stories of the mysterious, all-knowing passerby spread through the city.
• Meng Chuan encounters Ji Lianxing, nicknamed Tiger Girl. She initially raises a fist, then leaves to cultivate and pursue immortality. Their teasing exchange goes over Meng Chuan’s head, while others watching comment that he missed a romantic opportunity.
• Later, Meng Chuan visits Ji Lianxing at the Ji estate. He expects tea, complains when none is served, and recognizes the ordinary tea she eventually produces. She explains that Meng Chuan drove the Undying Mountain into hiding, making Enlightenment Tea Leaves unavailable. He says he came because she had called him there; she privately admits she had only gone to the Sacred City to see who was making such a spectacle.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan displays immense knowledge and power, but his “ordinary passerby” act is playful and self-indulgent. Despite his Heavenly Emperor status, he is awkward about social cues—especially with Ji Lianxing—and fixates on the propriety of being served tea.
• Ji Lianxing remains blunt, bold, and unimpressed by his authority. She spars verbally with him, indulges his demand for tea, and keeps her real motives to herself.
• The young stone buyer and workshop crowds are awed by the passerby’s apparent insight, though they mistake his genuine knowledge for mystery or joking.

• Realizing Ji Lianxing is unusually subdued, Meng Chuan divines that her grandfather has died. He offers her eternal life through a divine rank in his Divine Kingdom, explaining that immortality and becoming an Immortal are different.
• Ji Lianxing declines for now, preferring to rely on her own Quasi-Emperor lifespan and see how far she can go. Meng Chuan leaves the offer open.
• Jiang Daoran and Qingyue arrive for the Ji Family’s martial assembly. Meng Chuan tells them about the Divine Kingdom; both also decide to wait rather than accept.
• The group attends the assembly, where Ji Lianxing’s reforms and efforts to strengthen the family are put on display. Fighters compete by cultivation realm, with top performers allowed to challenge opponents from higher realms. The crowd welcomes Meng Chuan as the Heavenly Emperor.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan remains confident and teasing, but shows concern for Ji Lianxing after sensing her grief. His offer is practical as well as compassionate, though he does not pressure anyone to accept it.
• Ji Lianxing reveals a more reflective side beneath her usual blunt, carefree manner. She values choosing her own path and is not ready to trade that independence for guaranteed eternal life.

• Ji Lianxing shows pride in her family’s progress and authority as its leader. She trades sharp banter with Meng Chuan, particularly when he calls her “Tiger Girl.”

• Enjoying his newfound leisure, Meng Chuan visits Jiang Daoran again and tours several famous holy lands and dynasties. Each host serves him plain tea, much to his bemusement. He eventually returns to his Divine Kingdom to wait for his counterpart to emerge from seclusion.
• In the Chat Group, Daigu announces major news. After the others jokingly guess what it is, he shares a photo revealing that he is in the Land of Light, surrounded by Ultramen.

• Daigu announces a breakthrough in his Ultra research: he can now create Divine Light Sticks that let people transform into different Ultras, including giant-sized forms. His devices cannot yet reproduce the power of Ultraman King or the other Four Mysterious Ultras.
• Meng Chuan orders Mother of Ultra and Yullian devices for Meng Qi. Zhang Sanfeng orders devices for his disciples—first the Ultra Six Brothers and Leo, then Father of Ultra as well—imagining his Seven Wudang Disciples as giant Ultra-powered fighters.
• Daigu promises lifetime repairs and recharging, and the group rapidly turns the announcement into a shopping spree. Lu Mingfei, Yan Chixia, Fei Peng, Yao Chen, and the Ancient One all place orders, leading Meng Chuan to worry that the Chat Group is becoming a marketplace.
• After Daigu offers devices to Meng Chuan and Meng Qi, both decline. Just as Daigu prepares to leave, Meng Chuan privately asks him to make one more—this time, a device that transforms him into the Land of Light itself.

Character developments and interactions

• Daigu is revealed as a capable, increasingly entrepreneurial Ultra scientist. His collaboration with Hikari has advanced his technology, and he handles the sudden flood of orders with polished customer-service enthusiasm.
• Meng Chuan shifts from amused observer to enthusiastic customer, ordering devices for Meng Qi and secretly requesting one for himself. He and Meng Qi maintain their usual antagonistic, teasing dynamic.
• Meng Qi objects to being treated like the group’s youngest target, but the others ignore his protests. He refuses an Ultra device despite wanting one, since it would be impractical to use where he is.
• Zhang Sanfeng sees the devices as both useful and prestigious, planning to outfit his disciples with them. His final order of Father of Ultra leaves Daigu wondering who it is for.

• Meng Chuan abandons his ambitious order for a large batch of Ultraman transformation devices after Daigu pleads for mercy, buying only one Divine Light Stick. He then sends Divine Source red packets to the chat group, including an extra gift for Zhang Sanfeng to nourish the Dragon Vein.
• Daigu completes the orders after a day in his world. The buyers give him five-star reviews despite not having tried the devices. Meng Chuan admires his own Divine Light Stick but feels too embarrassed to use it, deciding to give it to someone else someday.
• Yao Chen receives seven transformation devices. He plans to give six to Xiao Yan and keep the Father of Ultra device for himself.
• Xiao Yan arrives proudly announcing he has reached nine-star Dou Shi at seventeen. When he recognizes the devices, he accuses Yao Chen of inventing yet another conveniently powerful “friend.” But once he learns six devices are for him, he immediately switches to flattering his teacher. Yao Chen playfully gives him the devices, then starts a one-sided scuffle after Xiao Yan thumps him.
• In the Dragon Race world, Lu Mingfei secretly shows Chu Zihang a Divine Light Stick and solemnly asks whether Ultraman exists. Chu Zihang’s composure finally cracks; he regards the question—and possibly Lu Mingfei—as absurd.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan shifts from overordering to showing consideration for Daigu, then enjoys treating the group generously. His reluctance to use the device himself contrasts with his enthusiasm for the idea.
• Daigu is an industrious, familiar friend to Meng Chuan, but the demanding order pushes him to plead for a manageable workload.
• Yao Chen and Xiao Yan continue their affectionate, comic teacher-disciple dynamic: Xiao Yan distrusts Yao Chen’s improbable explanations, but greed for the devices quickly overcomes his skepticism. Yao Chen’s generosity turns into mock anger when Xiao Yan hits him.
• Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang share a contrastingly awkward interaction: Mingfei treats his reveal as a profound secret, while Chu Zihang’s normally unshakable demeanor falters.

Significant themes

• Cross-world friendship and generosity: Chat-group members readily share resources, gifts, and jokes.
• Trust mixed with absurdity: Yao Chen’s claims are true, but their escalating improbability makes Xiao Yan doubt him.
• Comedy through pop-culture incongruity: Ultraman merchandise appears in fantasy and modern worlds, creating embarrassment, disbelief, and playful banter.

He also studies the Underworld Supremes’ mysterious Reincarnation Seals.

• His appearance and transformed Divine Kingdom astonish the universe. The Forbidden Zone Supremes retreat deeper into hiding, fearing they may not outlast him, while the Female Emperor recognizes how rapidly he has advanced.
• Meng Chuan reflects on his progress: he has reached the Heavenly Immortal realm, gained traits of a Legend that let him approach omnipresence, created a Void God Realm method, and advanced his Red Dust Battle Immortal path through a sixth transformation.
• He is still unable to become a Legend because he lacks Other Selves. The Desolate Heaven Emperor’s ancient sword stroke sealed the Boundary Sea away from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, preventing Meng Chuan from reaching the means he needs to create them.

• Ji Lianxing and Jiang Daoran discuss whether the Meng Chuan seen over the past five thousand years was an avatar; neither had detected the deception.
• The universe’s inhabitants celebrate Meng Chuan’s appearance, while the Supremes and Female Emperor react with alarm and amazement.

Significant themes

• Power and longevity: Even beings accustomed to outliving emperors fear that Meng Chuan may surpass them.
• Progress and constraint: Great achievement does not guarantee the next breakthrough; Meng Chuan’s advancement is stalled by a cosmic barrier beyond his control.
• Legacy and unintended consequences: The Desolate Heaven Emperor’s protective act has become an obstacle for a later figure.
• Humility and humor amid greatness: Meng Chuan’s self-deprecation and jokes contrast with the universe’s reverence for him.

Plot and key events

• Meng Chuan leaves the Divine Kingdom in high spirits, enjoying his freedom and steady cultivation as Heavenly Emperor.
• He detects a new space-time distortion near the Divine Kingdom and asks the Chat Group about it. The group explains that Meng Chuan’s repeated travel between members’ worlds has disrupted space-time, creating another Space-Time Origin. He receives a mission to destroy the eventual Space-Time Passage, but learns it will take a long time to form, so he leaves rather than wait.
• Frustrated by the trouble appearing so close to home, Meng Chuan turns toward the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land. He notices two Supremes watching him and briefly threatens them before heading to see Ruthless Great Emperor.
• Meng Chuan casually removes the Unknown affliction from the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, causing his red hair to vanish and restoring his normal appearance. He then brings him along for a conversation.
• During his meeting with Ruthless, she observes that Meng Chuan seems to exist everywhere and asks whether he has become an Immortal. He says he has not, but claims that killing an Immortal or two would be easy.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan shifts quickly from carefree amusement to irritation over the new space-time problem, then returns to his cheerful, teasing manner around Ruthless and the Sacred Body. His power continues to grow, and his Legend-like nature is becoming noticeable to others.
• The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body is freed from the Unknown that had afflicted him for ages. He is deeply moved and thanks Meng Chuan, though Meng Chuan’s joking comment about his looks undercuts the solemn moment.
• Ruthless Great Emperor remains reserved but speaks more openly with Meng Chuan than before. She recognizes a change in his presence and mistakes it for evidence that he has become an Immortal.
• The watching Supreme is startled when Meng Chuan detects him, then feels slighted when Meng Chuan immediately turns his attention elsewhere.

Significant themes

• Power and perspective: A seemingly impossible affliction is easily removed by Meng Chuan, though the text notes that greater taboos remain beyond his reach.
• Responsibility and unintended consequences: Meng Chuan’s frequent use of the Chat Group has caused the very disruption that now creates a new mission.
• Comedic contrast: Cosmic-scale power sits alongside mundane thoughts, teasing banter, and Meng Chuan’s repeated wish for tea.
• Growing connection: Ruthless’s increased willingness to speak with Meng Chuan suggests familiarity and trust developing between them.

Key plot points and events

• Meng Chuan visits Ruthless Great Emperor and reports that he has created a method to open the Void God Realm. Ruthless asks him to call on her when he begins.
• They discuss the strange Space-Time Passage near Ruthless’s Divine Kingdom. Meng Chuan suspects it may lead to another world, though its destination—and whether more outsiders will arrive—remains unknown.
• Meng Chuan shares cultivation insights with Ruthless and the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, hoping Ruthless will continue advancing alongside him. Ruthless asks whether “Other Selves” remain the same person if the original self is gone; Meng Chuan recognizes this relates to her deduction of a “similar flower,” but says the answer will become clear in time.
• Meng Chuan asks Ruthless about rare Immortal Materials, including the source of the Mother Qi of All Things. She has no leads, though she suggests the Chaos Immortal Soil might contain some.
• After leaving the forbidden land, Meng Chuan is recognized by a crowd. A young ninth-heaven Quasi-Emperor challenges him. Meng Chuan accepts, but the young man finds himself unable to attack: facing Meng Chuan, he perceives universes being born, growing, and dying. Meng Chuan kindly tells him to keep cultivating and jokingly claims they were evenly matched.

Character developments and interactions

• Meng Chuan is generous with his insights and wants capable allies to grow stronger, while remaining approachable and playful. He also continues seeking materials for his plans.
• Ruthless Great Emperor listens openly, reflects deeply on Meng Chuan’s teachings, and shows a flicker of emotion at his unexpected humor.
• The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body benefits from the discussions but is often a bemused observer, especially when Meng Chuan embellishes the failed challenge.
• The young Quasi-Emperor learns the vast gulf between himself and the Heavenly Emperor, yet receives encouragement rather than humiliation. The onlookers are left in awe of Meng Chuan’s presence.

Significant themes

• Companionship on the path of cultivation: Meng Chuan sees sharing knowledge as a way to avoid walking the Dao alone and to prepare trusted allies for future threats.
• The limits of identity and selfhood: Ruthless’s question about whether alternate selves remain the original person introduces a deeper mystery.
• Humility and mentorship: Even a failed challenge becomes an opportunity for encouragement and growth.
• Overwhelming power: Meng Chuan’s presence conveys the scale of cosmic creation and destruction without him needing to exert force.

Plot points and events

• Meng Chuan leaves the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and surveys the aging figures of his generation. He considers inviting his two old friends to his Divine Kingdom, knowing they may refuse and that time could soon separate them forever.
• Inspired by the Jade Lake Stone Fetus and the Undying Heavenly Emperor’s precedent, he searches for promising Saint Spirits to mature within a Space-Time Distortion. The Chat Group warns that the distortion can support only two.
• Meng Chuan finds two exceptionally rare Immortal Metal Saint Spirits: the Divine Mark Purple Gold and Phoenix Blood Red Gold. He nurtures them with teachings, scriptures, and the Great Dao Jade Disc, guiding them to serve him and sending them into the distortion to mature.
• He surveys the universe’s dragon veins and vital-energy centers, preparing to establish a new Void God Realm. His plan is for it to become both a gathering place for the universe’s Daos and his own Divine Kingdom, supporting his future cultivation.
• To pass the time, Meng Chuan livestreams and jokes with the Chat Group. Bibi Dong returns after establishing the Shrouding the Heavens Church across the Douluo continent, and Meng Chuan and the others congratulate her.

Character developments

• Meng Chuan shows concern for his aging contemporaries, while remaining focused on ambitious plans for cultivation and the future. His humor and desire to “laze around” contrast with the immense work he undertakes to secure that life.

• He deliberately prepares the two Saint Spirits to become loyal attendants, combining instruction with spiritual and Daoic nourishment.
• The Chat Group provides banter and companionship. Members tease one another, welcome Bibi Dong back, and praise her achievements; Meng Chuan reprimands her for calling him “Master” and asks to be called “Great Emperor.”

Significant themes

• Time and mortality: Even extraordinary cultivators eventually age and die, making companionship fragile.
• Power and responsibility: Meng Chuan uses his vast strength to preserve and guide promising beings, while planning structures that may benefit his cultivation and the wider universe.

• Companionship and humor: The Chat Group’s teasing offers warmth and a connection to ordinary social life amid cosmic-scale work.

Plot points and events

• The group chat discusses the approaching Space-Time Passage in Meng Chuan’s world. Meng Qi and Lu Mingfei tease Meng Chuan, pointing out that passages seem to appear whenever he visits a world. Meng Chuan denies being responsible.
• Lu Mingfei asks Yao Chen for pills to strengthen his mind and spirit. Yao Chen generously sends him a complete range, then gives the whole group a random assortment of pills. Meng Qi receives only a bottle of low-grade cultivation liquid and calls the draw a setup, while Yan Chixia is delighted with a set of Spirit-Nourishing Pills.
• Yao Chen explains that rare ingredients—not his skill—now limit his ability to make top-rank pills. Meng Chuan agrees that this also hampers his own alchemy.
• Lu Mingfei sends a gift packet of his own. Meng Chuan wins the draw but receives only 100,000 yen, which earns his irritation. He speculates about Lu Mingfei’s plans and possible encounters in his world.
• After leaving the chat, Meng Chuan checks on his unborn Saint Spirit children, whose resting place remains trapped in a bewildering distortion of space and time.
• While traveling through the Eastern Wasteland, Meng Chuan visits the Purple Mansion Holy Land, founded by his old friend Zi. He gives Zi’s grandson an Emperor Scripture suited to an Innate Dao Embryo, repaying an old obligation, but warns that abusing the gift could bring the sect to ruin.
• The Purple Mansion Holy Lord decides to keep Meng Chuan’s connection to the sect—and the scripture’s origin—a closely guarded secret, preventing the gift from fostering arrogance or dangerous ambition.

Character development and interactions

• Meng Chuan remains wary of Meng Qi’s teasing but shows generosity and responsibility: he remembers his promise to Zi and supports Zi’s descendants while setting firm limits.
• Yao Chen demonstrates both generosity and professional pride, sharing pills freely while acknowledging that scarce ingredients are his main obstacle.
• Meng Qi’s unlucky draw becomes a running joke, while Lu Mingfei’s luck—and his uncertain plans to travel—draw the group’s attention.
• The Purple Mansion Holy Lord moves from shock and confusion to cautious resolve, honoring Meng Chuan’s warning rather than exploiting the sect’s new advantage.

Significant themes

• Generosity and reciprocity: Yao Chen shares his medicine, and Meng Chuan repays an old friend by strengthening his legacy.
• Power and responsibility: Meng Chuan’s warning stresses that a powerful gift can become dangerous if used to pursue status or domination.
• Humor and camaraderie: The chat’s teasing, gift packets, and complaints balance the chapter’s more serious moments.
• Legacy and restraint: Zi’s concern that his grandson not grow arrogant is reflected in the decision to keep the Emperor Scripture’s provenance secret.

Key plot points and events

• The Chat Group unexpectedly upgrades after Meng Qi uploads three powerful, Other Shore-level divine arts: one Heaven-Severing move and two Tathagata moves.
• The uploads earn Meng Qi a huge number of points. He boasts about becoming the group’s richest member, provoking Meng Chuan to upload several of his own powerful techniques and texts.
• Meng Chuan’s uploads—among them One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, the Dao De Jing, and the Zhuxian sword arts—quickly restore his lead in points, turning the exchange into a playful contest.
• The upgrade unlocks a group-level feature. The members debate how to name and organize levels, rejecting proposals ranging from flashy titles and color rankings to Universe-level ranks. They settle on a simple numerical system.
• The group also decides that each level should represent a suitably fine distinction between cultivation stages, rather than lumping powerful members together at low levels. The Chat Group finishes configuring the system.

Character developments

• Meng Qi enjoys a rare moment of recognition and riches, but his triumph is short-lived once Meng Chuan outdoes him.
• Meng Chuan remains competitive and amused by the group’s antics; he also takes a practical interest in the new feature as a way to gauge relative strength.
• Lu Mingfei enthusiastically proposes an elaborate ranking system, partly because he hopes it will make him seem powerful.
• The Ancient One offers a broad cosmic ranking scheme, then withdraws it when the group points out its absurd implications.

Significant themes

• Friendly rivalry and status: Meng Qi and Meng Chuan’s point totals become a comic contest over who is the group’s true star.
• Collective decision-making: The members debate the new system, with jokes, alliances, and competing preferences shaping the outcome.
• The limits of measurement: A level system must account for vastly different worlds and cultivation scales without making powerful members seem artificially weak.

Character interactions

• Meng Qi’s boasting draws teasing from the group and a competitive response from Meng Chuan.
• Other members mostly observe the two powerhouses’ rivalry, then join the level-setting debate with suggestions and jokes.
• The administrators ultimately settle the debate together, while the rest of the group contributes to the discussion.
