Meng Chuan told the Dao Realm Immortals about the ancient battles against darkness and warned them that the Boundary Sea’s Dark Race was only the vanguard of the wider Weird Race. Unable to reach Immortal Emperor through his stalled path to transcendence, he planned to strengthen himself while his Dark Other Selves infiltrated the enemy ranks.

• Azure Emperor asked whether the Weird Race would notice the deaths of four Weird Quasi-Immortal Emperors, and Meng Chuan said he had stopped the Boundary Sea's Darkness Creatures from passing on the news.
• Meng Chuan considered that powerful figures from Soul River, the Heavenly Emperor Burial Pit, the Four Extremes Floating Soil, or the Ancient Underworld might investigate, but said he could defeat any Quasi-Immortal Emperor who came.

• Ruthless stayed behind and told Meng Chuan that everyone worried about him and that he should value his life and stay safe.

Meng Chuan watched the Boundary Sea and discovered that a soul fragment of the sleeping Ye Fan, carrying his Xiantian Origin Essence Blood, was headed toward Yunchuan on the Gou Chen Ancient Star. Though he realized what might happen if it arrived, Meng Chuan chose not to intervene, and a girl named Chenxi was born there as an Innate Dao Embryo.

• Meng Chuan found no sign of Weird Quasi-Immortal Emperors approaching the Boundary Sea and eased his watch over it.
• Meng Chuan sensed Ye Fan's soul fragment and Essence Blood drifting toward Yunchuan and deduced that its arrival could alter what would happen there.
• Meng Chuan considered intervening but decided to let Ye Fan's fragment continue on its course.
• An ordinary family in Yunchuan welcomed a baby girl named Chenxi, who was born an Innate Dao Embryo.

Eighteen years after Chenxi’s birth, she met Ye Fan, whose soul fragment and Essence Blood had taken human form on Gou Chen Ancient Star. They had a son with the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, and Meng Chuan arranged for Wushi to guide the child while keeping his plans for Chenxi to himself.

• A young man entered Yunchuan and met Chenxi while she was taking laundry out of a Washing Machine.

• Wushi sensed the child’s constitution, visited the family, and realized Ye Fan’s soul fragment had fathered him.
• Meng Chuan told Wushi to leave Ye Fan and Chenxi alone and asked him to take the boy as his heir when Ye Fan’s soul fragment returned.

Ye Fan awakened after his mortal life with Chenxi ended, reunited with his family, and learned that Meng Chuan had preserved Chenxi’s life. Meng Chuan then considered whether destined events and people could help him determine the future and refine the Lingbao Body.

• Chenxi died of old age, and Meng Chuan secretly preserved her life; Ye Fan later followed her in death, while Wushi took their son Ye Yishui to the Dao Realm.
• Wushi introduced Ye Yishui to the Immortals, including Ye Fan’s family, who learned about the boy’s parents and mortal upbringing.
• Ye Fan awoke in his Small World, gathered the remaining fragments of his soul, and reunited with Ye Yishui and Little Zi.
• Ye Fan took Chenxi from her grave and confronted Meng Chuan, who denied involvement beyond saving her and urged Ye Fan to wake her and seek answers himself.
• Meng Chuan reflected on whether destined events and people could reveal the future and help him refine the Lingbao Body.

• Meng Chuan took Luo Feng to the Origin World built around the Three Realms, where his Other Self was pursuing the world origin.
• Meng Chuan's Other Self merged his ultimate Great Daos with those in the world origin and gained control of more than half of them.
• As his Other Self neared control of the Supreme Rules, an unseen barrier halted his refinement of the Origin World.
• Meng Chuan's Other Self broke through the Lifetime Method's shackles and completed his breakthrough as a World-Class Origin Lifeform.
• The new power of the World-Class Origin Lifeform converged on Meng Chuan's True Self, making him feel capable of anything.

Meng Chuan fused his World-Class Origin Lifeform Other Self’s power with his own, gaining strength that could contend with a Hunyuan Lord and insights that greatly advanced his understanding of the Great Dao. He decided to hunt the Undying Netherworld Emperor and used the Chat Group to locate and teleport to him.

Yuan recognized Meng Chuan’s Other Self, offered to share his cultivation insights, and expressed hope that Luo Feng might also reach that level.

• Meng Chuan left Luo Feng behind and used the Chat Group to teleport to the Undying Netherworld Emperor.
