Chen Fan checked on Li Ping, learned that the Demon Realm had only partially reset, and avoided further involvement with the Gods and Devils Realms. After a year of cultivation, he received notice of the Third Group Mission and reviewed its three options before choosing one.

• Chen Fan read the chat and asked Li Ping how things were going in the Gods and Devils Realms; Li Ping said the Demon Realm had settled down since Chen Fan intervened.
• Chen Fan realized the Demon Realm had only partially restarted, chose not to warn the other group members about Li Ping, and avoided contacting his incarnation there.
• By Year 47, Chen Fan had completed half his comprehension of the Dao-Seeking Immortal Art, and his five other selves had reached Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking, Layer 5,100.
• Chen Fan received notice that the Third Group Mission would begin in 24 hours and opened the Group Leader admin interface to review the options.
• Chen Fan rejected Primordial Beginning because its difficulty and requirements were unknown and choosing it would end his Tenth Ordinary Simulation.
• Chen Fan compared the A-rank Weird Weird Weird mission with the S-rank Supreme Martial Arts World mission and considered their rewards.

The Group Leader chose the Supreme Martial Arts World mission for its promised strand of primordial purple qi and prepared to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty. After arriving, he discovered the world held eight Supreme Existences, including the Martial God and seven others in the main world.

• The Group Leader selected the S-rank mission and spent the day studying the Dao-Seeking Immortal Art before the forced teleportation.
• The mission began with the objective of overthrowing the Great Qian Dynasty and the reward of one strand of primordial purple qi.
• After arriving in a derived myriad world, the Group Leader activated the True-False Supreme Realm and summoned Old Self using Transform All Beings, gaining Escape One.
• Old Self encountered the Martial God, a Supreme Existence who had created the warrior system, and examined the world's cultivation realms.
• The Group Leader learned that the Martial God came from a derived myriad world and that the main world contained seven more Supreme Existences, making eight in all.

You learned that the Martial God created the derived worlds and founded the Great Qian Dynasty to anchor the Martial Dao’s fortune. Confucianism explained that the Supreme Existences could not act freely, but they could use you as an Otherworldly Demon to bypass that restriction, leaving you wary of trying to overthrow the dynasty directly.

• You realized that the transformed “Old Self” had only a fraction of the real being’s power, and that the eight Supreme Existences were not openly hostile.
• Confucianism explained that the Martial God created the derived myriad worlds with help from Buddhism and Dao, then rose to become a Supreme Existence.
• You learned that the Martial God founded the Great Qian Dynasty to anchor the Martial Dao’s fortune in the main world.
• Confucianism explained that the Supreme Existences could not freely intervene because they had assimilated portions of Heaven and earth, and acting risked their cultivation realms.
• Confucianism revealed that a Supreme-level Otherworldly Demon could bypass those restrictions, and you understood that attacking the Great Qian Dynasty could provoke the other Supreme Existences.

After Confucian asked for help overthrowing the Great Qian Dynasty, the protagonist accepted and learned that Buddha, Dao, and the Martial God had allied to preserve its rule. Confucian planned to recruit Gu, while the protagonist kept Wang Hao hidden as a backup ally.

• Confucian offered one-fifth of his authority if the protagonist helped overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty, and the protagonist accepted after receiving a matching mission from the Mission System.
• Old Self brought the remaining Chat Group Members to Confucian’s Dao Lineage, and the protagonist asked Wang Hao whether he could still use the fallen Other Shore Realm Supreme Existence’s abilities.
• Wang Hao confirmed he could and described primordial purple qi as the foundation for a Sage’s Attainment of the Dao.
• The protagonist’s Seven Rings intelligence revealed that the Martial God had allied with Buddha and Dao to stabilize the Great Qian Dynasty’s rule.
• The protagonist shared the intelligence with Confucian and Wang Hao but concealed Wang Hao’s existence from Confucian.
• Confucian said he would prepare and planned to recruit Gu, a Supreme Existence defeated in the eighth era by the Martial God’s alliance with Buddha and Dao.

Chen Fan traded one of his other-self projections to Wu Yong for a single use of the Future Riddle Machine. Its riddle predicted nine puppets carrying out two schemes against one target, but Chen Fan could not identify the puppets or the stages and left the mystery unresolved.

• Chen Fan agreed to give Wu Yong an other-self projection in exchange for using the Future Riddle Machine.
• Chen Fan checked and signed Wu Yong’s trade contract, permanently relinquishing one projection for a single use of the machine.
• The Future Riddle Machine produced a riddle about nine puppets, two stages, and plans converging on one target.
• Chen Fan interpreted the riddle as a warning that two schemes were being prepared against someone, but could not work out who or where.
• Wu Yong offered to investigate further in exchange for the Twelfth-Rank Pure World White Lotus, and Chen Fan declined.

Seven Rings revelations exposed the Supreme Martial Arts World’s hidden history and the coming final era, while Confucianism summoned the narrator and Gu to respond to a war already begun by Martial God, Dao, and Buddha. Suspecting he had been maneuvered into acting sooner than planned, the narrator sought Wu Yong and began, “I need you...”

• The Great Dao’s Voice revealed that Dao, Buddha, and Martial God were divisions of the same original Supreme Existence.
• The Great Dao’s Voice revealed that Confucianism had known about their shared identity, had allied with Gu, and had sought outside aid for that reason.
• The narrator ignored Li Ping’s attempt to meet him on his third day in the Supreme Martial Arts World.
• The Great Dao’s Voice revealed that the Ninth Era was the final era, prompting the narrator to suspect other factions would make their moves.
• Confucianism summoned the narrator and Gu, then announced that Martial God, Dao, and Buddha had already begun the war.
• The narrator suspected he had been set up, contacted Wu Yong through another self, and said, “I need you...”

You traded the Heavenly Spirit Mirror and one of your other selves to Wu Yong to solve the Future Riddle Machine’s riddle, which revealed a dire predicament and left you seeking Wang Hao’s help. Meanwhile, the Ninth Era war began in the Supreme Martial Arts World, where your alliance of Gu and Confucianism gained the upper hand, and Gu’s most powerful Venerables were revealed.

• You bargained with Wu Yong, gave him the Heavenly Spirit Mirror and one other self, and used the Future Riddle Machine to solve its riddle.
• The answer revealed your body’s predicament, and after Wu Yong could not help, you sought out Wang Hao.
• The Ninth Era battle began as the Supreme Existences formed alliances and the Great Qian Dynasty launched a purge of Confucianism.
• You and Gu joined Confucianism to counterattack the Great Qian Dynasty while Monster, Demon, and Spellcaster attacked from outside.
• Your side overwhelmed its opponents through Old Self’s strength and the formidable abilities of Confucianism and Gu, bringing the war close to a conclusion within days.
• The chapter detailed Gu’s powerful Venerables, including the Soul Path Immortal Venerable and a half-step Supreme who had attained the Dao in nearly every Gu path.

The Supreme Existences agreed to settle their conflict through a seven-round arena tournament, despite the protagonist benefiting enormously from the ongoing war. As the tournament began, the protagonist used information gathered through Listening to learn the opposing alliances’ rosters and gain a tactical advantage.

• A surviving Time Dao Immortal Venerable emerged from a Painting and used “None Before, None After” to summon beings from the Gu Dao Era and Confucian Dao Era, forcing the Supreme Existences to negotiate.
• The three alliances agreed that each would send fighters for seven rounds, with three victories deciding the tournament.
• During the war, the protagonist accumulated experience, attribute points, and divine abilities, including Dao Follows Nature and Buddha Kingdom in the Palm.
• Although continuing the war would have brought the protagonist further gains, the protagonist agreed to the tournament while Gu and Confucianism opposed it.
• The tournament began in a world created jointly by the protagonist and the eight Supreme Existences.
• Using Listening, the protagonist obtained the opposing alliances’ contestant rosters and planned to choose fighters who could counter their opponents.

The Rebel Army won the first two arena matches, but the Great Qian Dynasty and the Third Party joined forces against its contenders and took the final three. The duel ended with the Great Qian Dynasty ahead, leaving the Rebel Army defeated.

• Demon Venerable Wuji crushed Jin Chanzi and the Demon God King, winning the first match for the Rebel Army and killing both opponents.
• The Rebel Army’s Time Dao Venerable summoned historical Gu Dao powerhouses to defeat Laozi and the Demon Race’s Great Sage, securing a second victory.
• Heavenly Venerable Taiqing and the Director of the Astronomical Bureau teamed up against Kong, winning the third match for the Great Qian Dynasty.
• The two opposing contenders targeted another Confucian Sage together and defeated him, giving the fourth match to the Third Party.
• The Great Qian Dynasty’s Martial Dao cultivator used his fortune and fusion with Heaven and Earth to defeat the Strength Dao Immortal Venerable in the final match.

Chen Fan’s side won the final battle, overthrew the Great Qian Dynasty, and completed the group mission, earning cultivation and group rewards. As he collected them, he realized he had been driven to finish the mission quickly and had erased one of his own memories; the activation of True Self revealed that a higher-dimensional being was affecting him.

• Chen Fan sent the Soul Path Immortal Venerable into the final battle, where he killed both opponents and secured victory for the Rebel Army.
• Chen Fan directed the disciples of Confucianism and Gu to overthrow the Great Qian Dynasty, ending the Ninth Era’s war and preserving both Dao Lineages.
• Chen Fan received the Heavenly Fire Great True Lord cultivation method and learned that advancing required devouring several five-element fruit positions.
• The Chat Group awarded Chen Fan the mission rewards and gave Wu Yong a minor divine ability based on their contributions.
• Chen Fan noticed that Wang Hao had not pursued the primordial purple qi and realized he had been rushing through the mission without questioning why.
• Chen Fan found a memory he had erased himself, and his major divine ability True Self activated, indicating that a higher-dimensional being was affecting him.

Chen Fan watched the Simulated Clone realize that a Higher-Dimensional Existence was manipulating events in the [Supreme Martial Arts World]. With no other way to respond, the clone spent the Chaos Bell’s final use to seek a brief reprieve from the danger.

• Chen Fan wondered why the Simulated Clone had erased his memories and suspected a Higher-Dimensional Existence was hidden in the [Supreme Martial Arts World].
• The Simulated Clone’s [True Self] repeatedly activated, convincing him he had been drawn into another setup despite finding no clues through [Listening].
• The Simulated Clone summoned the Chaos Bell and called for Donghuang Taiyi, accusing him of knowing about the scheme.
• Donghuang Taiyi avoided answering directly and reminded the Simulated Clone that only one use of the Chaos Bell remained.
• The Simulated Clone used the Chaos Bell’s final use to seek a moment of absolute safety rather than confront the unseen enemy.

After the [Chaos Bell] gave you a moment to recover, you realized a hidden Higher-Dimensional Existence had manipulated your memories and used the [Chat Group] as part of a long-laid scheme. You narrowed the possible traitors among the group, but found your last apparent escape—the [Wish Echo] talent—had already been used, leaving you trapped in a dead end.

• You reviewed the erased memories and recalled that Wu Yong had approached you and apparently made a deal.
• You realized the [Chat Group] was central to the Higher-Dimensional Existence's plan and concluded that the enemy was likely a transmigrator and a group member.
• You ruled out Li Ping and Wu Yong, then suspected Wang Hao more than Zhang Wenping.
• You rejected fleeing to the [Supreme True Realm] and decided to use your final one-use talent, [Wish Echo].
• You discovered that [Wish Echo] had already been used, leaving you with no apparent way to escape.

Wang Hao entered Deep Space under the protection of Purple Heaven's Mandate and encountered the supreme figure beneath the Nonexistent Founding Tree. As the figure noticed him, Wang Hao realized he faced an existence powerful enough to destroy him with a thought.

• Wang Hao prepared to enter Deep Space, carrying the Fragment of the Creation Jade Disc and recalling the danger of Karmic Law Punishment.
• After the Chat Group confirmed his Group Leader settings and disabled Return Teleportation, Wang Hao entered Deep Space with Purple Heaven's Mandate.
• Wang Hao found that time, space, karma, and destiny held no meaning in Deep Space, where a flickering Nonexistent Founding Tree bore a single unripe fruit containing a world.
• Wang Hao saw a supreme figure meditating beneath the tree and sensed that the fruit continually increased the figure's already overwhelming power.
• Wang Hao's longing for the world within the fruit disturbed the figure, who turned toward him and began to speak.

Wang Hao delivered a mature Era Fruit from the Nonexistent Founding Tree to Old Self, telling him Chen Fan needed help against a Higher-Dimensional Existence. As the Chaos Bell neared collapse protecting Chen Fan, Chen Fan activated Purple Talent: Transform All Beings to transform into a Higher-Dimensional Existence, and his body was enveloped in purple light.

• Old Self opened the iron box Wang Hao brought and revealed a fully mature Era Fruit from the Nonexistent Founding Tree.
• Wang Hao told Old Self that Chen Fan had obtained the fruit by activating Wish Echo and urgently needed help against a Higher-Dimensional Existence.
• Old Self nodded, then forcibly expelled Wang Hao from Deep Space into the Supreme True Realm.
• Donghuang Taiyi warned Chen Fan that the Chaos Bell could protect him for less than half an incense stick before it failed.
• Chen Fan decided to use Purple Talent: Transform All Beings to become a Higher-Dimensional Existence and activated it despite its effects on his true spirit.
• Chen Fan lost control of his body as purple light enveloped him.

Chen Fan briefly became the higher-dimensional True Scripture, triggering the True Word’s spread and the Supreme Martial Arts World’s destruction before the Simulator lost track of events. Back outside the simulation, he considered the Simulated Clone’s plans and possible Chat Group traitors as the simulation continued.

• Chen Fan became the True Scripture when Transform All Beings activated, and the True Word transformed the Supreme Martial Arts World’s inhabitants, including its eight Supreme Existences, into believers.
• The True Scripture’s appearance stirred the Supreme True Realm’s River of Time with a declaration of war from the Past against the Present and Future.
• The Simulator could not show what followed, so Chen Fan inferred that his Simulated Clone had arranged for Wang Hao to help Old Self ascend and save him.
• Chen Fan suspected Zhang Wenping might be the hidden higher-dimensional traitor in the Chat Group, though he remained uncertain.
• The Simulator screen cleared its garbled text and announced, “Simulation continues.”

Wang Hao watched the True Scripture’s True Word corrupt the Myriad Worlds and feared being caught in its influence. Old Self broke through to Higher-Dimensional Existence, erased the True Word, and rewound the Present, leaving him able to battle all foes.

• Wang Hao remained protected from the True Word while the Believers around him and much of the Myriad Worlds were assimilated.
• Wang Hao sensed the True Word abruptly vanish after a Great Dao’s Voice declared that it should disappear.
• Wang Hao realized Old Self had become a Higher-Dimensional Existence in less than half a day.
• Old Self clashed with the True Scripture, excised the True Word, and rewound the Supreme True Realm’s Present without suffering Karmic Law’s backlash.
• Old Self assimilated the entire Present and emerged ready to battle all foes.

Chen Fan realized that Old Self had interfered with reality after the Simulator lifted its restrictions, while the simulation showed him trapped inside the True Scripture as two Higher-Dimensional Existences attacked it. The True Scripture gained a second True Word, but Chen Fan’s remaining consciousness could not sustain his transformation indefinitely.

• Chen Fan inferred that Old Self had caused the Simulator’s restrictions to be lifted and wondered how simulation and reality were connected.
• As the True Scripture, Chen Fan witnessed the Supreme Martial Arts World fall to the True Word in just two breaths.
• The True Scripture reached a stalemate with an invading Higher-Dimensional Existence until a second Higher-Dimensional Existence blasted away part of its body.
• The damaged True Scripture opened its first page and proclaimed, “The Ruler... shall return!”
• Chen Fan recognized the sneak attacker as the Higher-Dimensional Existence from the Gods and Devils Realms, who bore many Class Cards, including two rainbow ones.
• The True Scripture began to falter under the two attackers, while Chen Fan struggled to maintain Transform All Beings with only a thread of lucid consciousness.

The narrator’s transformed True Scripture was overwhelmed by the Two Higher-Dimensional Existence and the Zero Returner, forcing the narrator to abandon the transformation. Just as defeat seemed certain, Old Self arrived on the battlefield and blocked the attackers with a vast green sword.

• The True Scripture unleashed its third True Word, spreading corruption through countless lower-dimensional worlds as the battle dragged on.
• The narrator’s remnant spirit weakened under the strain of Transform All Beings while the Two Higher-Dimensional Existence kept the True Scripture pinned down.
• A multicolored Class Card called Zero Returner appeared and dragged the combatants into a realm that began reversing everything to its original state.
• The narrator deactivated Transform All Beings, failed to reactivate it, and gave up as the strange realm returned their efforts to zero.
• A sword’s cry pierced the realm, and Old Self arrived in person, placing his enormous green blade between the narrator and the Two Higher-Dimensional Existence.

“Old Self” used Dawn to destroy the Strange Land and undo the True Scripture’s damage across countless worlds, then faced the Gods and Devils and Chat Group Higher-Dimensional Beings inside the Zero Returner’s domain. After nullifying their combined attack, he sensed a third Higher-Dimensional Existence hiding nearby and challenged all three.

• Old Self told the Gods and Devils Higher-Dimensional Being that he came from the Supreme True Realm and used Dawn to crush the Strange Land.
• Old Self restored the worlds devastated by the True Scripture and erased its remnants, then transported the battlefield and its two Higher-Dimensional Existence beings to an unknown domain.
• The Gods and Devils Higher-Dimensional Being redeployed the Zero Returner card, pulling Old Self and the others back into its Strange Land and stripping at his authority.
• The Chat Group Higher-Dimensional Being attacked Old Self with a sword-wielding phantom, but Old Self froze everything and made the attack vanish with a single word.
• Old Self spotted a third Higher-Dimensional Existence concealed nearby and declared that he would face all three.

After another Higher-Dimensional Existence appeared, Old Self whisked you away rather than fight three enemies at once and settled you in Deep Space, where you met Wang Hao. You questioned why Wang Hao had delivered the Era Fruit, and he revealed that your Golden Finger ability was the Simulator.

• A third Higher-Dimensional Existence returned, but Old Self used a higher-dimensional word to escape the battlefield with you instead of fighting.
• Old Self explained that he had ascended by assimilating the predetermined present with the ripe Era Fruit you obtained through Wish Echo, which Wang Hao had delivered as the Messenger.
• You met Wang Hao in Deep Space and wondered why you had trusted him with the fruit and why he had obeyed you.
• Wang Hao said he had had no choice and revealed that your Golden Finger ability was the Simulator.

Chen Fan recalled how he had approached Wang Hao for help after deducing that a member of the Chat Group was a Higher-Dimensional Existence targeting him. He had offered Wang Hao the primordial purple qi in exchange for delivering a ripened era fruit, arguing that Wang Hao had protection from another Higher-Dimensional Existence.

• Chen Fan was stunned when Wang Hao revealed that he knew the Simulator was Chen Fan's Golden Finger.
• Chen Fan recalled telling Wang Hao that a Higher-Dimensional Existence had been setting him up since the First Group Mission and that one of the Chat Group members was behind it.
• Chen Fan explained that his Listening ability could not detect transmigrators or warn him about the trap, leading him to suspect a Chat Group member.
• Chen Fan offered Wang Hao the primordial purple qi from the Third Group Mission in exchange for escorting a box containing a fully ripened era fruit to a Supreme Existence in the Supreme True Realm's Deep Space.
• Chen Fan told Wang Hao he suspected a Higher-Dimensional Existence backed him, which explained why the enemy had targeted Chen Fan instead.

Chen Fan revealed to Wang Hao that his Golden Finger was the Simulator and explained that he needed Wang Hao’s help to test a scheme involving the Higher-Dimensional Existences watching them. Wang Hao, realizing the risks of opposing the Simulator’s true owner, agreed to pledge his loyalty.

• Chen Fan told Wang Hao that Higher-Dimensional Existences stood behind the Chat Group members and that one was watching them.
• Chen Fan said his fate was predetermined and revealed that his Golden Finger was the Simulator.
• Wang Hao inferred that their conversation was taking place inside a simulation and that Chen Fan’s true body could observe his actions.
• Chen Fan offered Wang Hao the primordial purple qi and an opportunity to pledge loyalty to him.
• Wang Hao weighed the danger of making an enemy of the Simulator’s owner and agreed.

Chen Fan realized his Simulated Clone’s disclosure about the Simulator had not changed the simulation’s outcome and concluded that the Clone was trapped in a death trap. He suspected Wu Yong’s trade was a warning and a declaration of allegiance, but ended by questioning why he trusted Wang Hao to take his side.

• Chen Fan realized the Simulation Choice Function had not appeared when his Simulated Clone revealed the Simulator to Wang Hao, so the disclosure would not affect the simulation’s outcome.
• Chen Fan considered avoiding the Chat Group after the simulation, despite having a Higher-Dimensional Existence as a potential backer.
• Chen Fan concluded that Wu Yong’s trade was meant to make his Simulated Clone recognize the death trap and might have been a gesture of allegiance.
• Chen Fan wondered whether the Higher-Dimensional Existence behind Wang Hao had influenced him to trust Wang Hao.

Chen Fan learned how his past self had instructed Wang Hao to travel to the Supreme True Realm, wait for a signal, and recount their conversation after Chen Fan lost his memories. Still unable to recover those memories or understand why Wang Hao was needed, Chen Fan received a pledge from Wang Hao before he returned to the Primordial World.

• Chen Fan's past self told Wang Hao to go to the Supreme True Realm, await a signal after the Third Group Mission, and explain everything again if Chen Fan's memories were erased.
• Chen Fan learned that his past self had shared part of his Heaven's Mandate with Wang Hao so he could enter Deep Space and meet Old Self.
• Old Self told Chen Fan that a Higher-Dimensional Existence's ability was affecting his true spirit's memories, and that restoring them would take time.
• Chen Fan questioned Wang Hao about why his past self had sought him out, but Wang Hao said he did not know.
• Chen Fan asked about Wang Hao's Golden Finger, and Wang Hao refused to reveal it, then gave Chen Fan a Fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation as a pledge of trust.
• Wang Hao told Chen Fan to keep the strand of primordial purple qi and used Didi Stand-In to return to the Primordial World.

After Wang Hao left, Chen Fan learned about Old Self’s higher-dimensional powers, including his ability to restart the Fourth Era’s Present, then strengthened his Qi Refining Limit-Breaking. Chen Fan ended with his True-False Supreme Realm close to its next upgrade.

• Chen Fan asked Wu Yong about the riddle from the Future Riddle Machine, but Wu Yong said only Chen Fan could know its answer.
• Old Self explained that assimilating the Present had made him its Heaven and Earth, granting him control over life and death and the power to restart the Fourth Era while retaining his memories.
• Chen Fan wondered whether Heaven and Earth had used the same power to alter the Supreme True Realm’s past and whether the Reincarnator card could protect him from such a restart.
• Chen Fan recycled useless treasures and gained two hundred million experience points and two million attribute points.
• Chen Fan spent his experience on Qi Refining Limit-Breaking, raising it from eleven thousand five hundred to sixteen thousand layers.
• Chen Fan added his attribute points and found that he was only thirty-odd million points short of upgrading the True-False Supreme Realm.
