The Spatial Divine Emperor came to He Pingsheng for the Dao-Sacrificing Yin-Yang Cicadas, and He Pingsheng surrendered them in exchange for protection from other Divine Emperors. After the Spatial Divine Emperor departed, He Pingsheng was left injured but relieved.

• Xin Baobao told He Pingsheng that a Divine Emperor had arrived and was waiting in the Great Hall, where Su Zhenzhen and Yu Si were kneeling.

He Pingsheng reunited with Wen Buwan and Qiao Huizhu, shared Shakyamuni Divine Fruits and an Ice River Crossing artifact, then brought Zheng Honglu out to visit Han Houzhi.

• Zheng Honglu told He Pingsheng that her aunt was two notches more beautiful than his wives, and He Pingsheng reacted in disbelief.

He Pingsheng learned how Titled Divine Selection could instantly create a flawed Auxiliary God, then returned to the Peng Family and discovered Han Houzhi had opened thirty-four Divine Apertures. He gave Han Houzhi a concealment technique and a sword-attributed Shakyamuni Divine Fruit, encouraging him to cultivate toward the Divine Emperor Realm.

• While flying with Zheng Honglu, He Pingsheng asked whether her aunt was an Auxiliary God and learned she remained in the Divine Emperor Realm.
• He Pingsheng asked about Titled Divine Selection, and Zheng Honglu explained how a Titled Divine Emperor could use the Light of the Great Dao to raise a randomly chosen person into an Auxiliary God.

• He Pingsheng and Zheng Honglu arrived at the Peng Family, where Han Houzhi welcomed them and He Pingsheng discovered his thirty-four Divine Apertures.
• He Pingsheng gave Han Houzhi the Hidden Dragon Trace-Concealing Art and a sword-attributed Shakyamuni Divine Fruit, and promised to remove his Slave Mark when he reached the Divine Emperor Realm.

He Pingsheng gave Han Houzhi cultivation resources and permission to travel, then reunited with Kong Jiaojiao and learned that the He Family had to send Divine Lord Realm cultivators to support the Shimmering Light Divine Kingdom. He proposed sending Han Houzhi and ended the chapter asking Kong Jiaojiao to comfort him.

• He Pingsheng gave Han Houzhi Chaos Heaven Fruit, Shakyamuni Divine Fruit, a method to conceal divine apertures, and the Eastern Rising Sun True Eye.

He Pingsheng’s family discussed trade, reinforcements, and resources before Old Cao revealed that the Celestial Pivot Divine Kingdom was gathering all incense offerings because Ancient Taisui had escaped in the Dao Collapse and Yellow Fall Deadly Grounds. He Pingsheng insisted that Taisui had been slain there by Emperor Gu.

• Old Cao persuaded He Pingsheng and Qiao Huizhu to sell the family’s Life Hawthorn Seeds and Kunlun Blood Slaughter Seeds in Spring City under the Seventh Auxiliary God’s protection.
• Su Zhenzhen told the family that the Celestial Pivot Divine Kingdom might send reinforcements to the Baiyu Divine Kingdom, and He Pingsheng approved sending Han Houzhi only if he mastered his concealment ability.
• Wen Buwan and Old Cao discussed the family’s need for essence blood and Divine King Realm corpses, and Gu Baiping volunteered to find materials for cultivating Kunlun Blood Slaughter Seeds.
• Old Cao reported that the Celestial Pivot Divine Kingdom had ordered all lineages to surrender their power of incense offerings and urged people to turn their mental power into offerings.
• Old Cao explained that Ancient Taisui had escaped in the Dao Collapse and Yellow Fall Deadly Grounds and devoured everyone who discovered it, but He Pingsheng objected that Emperor Gu had already slain it there.

He Pingsheng learned that the Taisui calamity came from a fragment that the Gu Household’s Divine Emperor had failed to seal, and that the Celestial Pivot Divine Kingdom was using its lineages’ incense offerings to suppress it. He gave Old Cao a memory reconstruction showing the Nine Directions Crown Prince releasing Taisui, and Old Cao left to bring it to the Seventh Auxiliary God.

• Old Cao explained that a fragment of Taisui escaped the Gu Household’s seal, grew by devouring living beings, and caused the current calamity.
• He Pingsheng objected to the Celestial Pivot lineages bearing the cost and identified the Nine Directions Crown Prince and his Divine Kings as the ones who released Taisui.
• Old Cao said the Nine Directions Clan could face a karmic debt severe enough to make its Auxiliary God patriarch a blood-sacrifice candidate, but they needed evidence to make their case.
• He Pingsheng reconstructed the scene of the Crown Prince and his followers breaking the Grand Array and gave the images to Old Cao in a Jade Slip.
• Old Cao said a rumor claimed owners of the Book of Seven Curses who mastered the supreme Great Dao of Curses became Taisui, then departed for Celestial Pivot City to present the images.

He Pingsheng spent 964 yuan in seclusion developing a body-refining technique powered by primordial chaos and advanced to the twelfth layer of the Divine Lord Realm. After reuniting with Su Zhenzhen, he learned how the Taisui crisis was resolved and that many He Family members had become Divine Kings; he still needed to prepare and fuse Divine Sparks before advancing further.

• He Pingsheng decided to replace chaos power in the Chaos Golden Scripture with primordial chaos power and entered seclusion to develop a Primordial Golden Scripture while raising his cultivation.
• After 964 yuan, He Pingsheng emerged from seclusion and dismissed the disciples guarding the Great Hall.

• He Pingsheng revealed that he had advanced from the seventh to the twelfth layer of the Divine Lord Realm and explained that he needed to nurture and fuse Divine Sparks before entering the Divine Venerable Realm.

He Pingsheng replaced his Divine Spark with five Primordial Divine Sparks, fused them into a sixth-grade spark, and broke through to the Divine Venerable Realm. After a long seclusion, he emerged to learn that Su Zhenzhen had upgraded the He Family to a Six-Star Lineage.

• He Pingsheng asked Su Zhenzhen to prepare attribute-less Divine Sparks and Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pills, then began his breakthrough in seclusion.
• He Pingsheng repeatedly replaced his Divine Spark until he had five fifth-grade Primordial Divine Sparks, then fused them into a sixth-grade spark over several years.
• He Pingsheng took a Dragon-Tiger Myriad Forms Pill and broke through to the Divine Venerable Realm, causing the Primordial Chaos Supreme Dao Bell to emerge briefly before shrinking without attracting fragments.
• He Pingsheng left seclusion after nearly a thousand yuan of Dao Comprehension, having advanced his Divine Sense and Blood Refining Method but failed to transform the Chaos Golden Scripture Divine Ability.
• Su Zhenzhen told He Pingsheng that she had upgraded the He Family to a Six-Star Lineage, and he assured her he did not blame her for making the decision.

He Pingsheng returned to the He Family and learned why the Spatial Divine Emperor had spared Divine Emperor Jiufang: he wanted to keep control of Zheng Honglu’s aunt. He promised to save her when he became powerful, then gathered resources and visited the Divine Herb Valley.

• Su Zhenzhen welcomed He Pingsheng and served him sixth-grade Dayuan Tea, whose Yin-Yang pattern reminded him of an old joke.
• Qianzhu, Zheng Honglu, and Gu Baiping reunited with He Pingsheng, who learned that Zheng Honglu had reached the tenth layer of the Divine King Realm.

• He Pingsheng visited the Divine Herb Valley and found that Zhu Dong and Wu Nana had both reached the first layer of the Divine Lord Realm.

He Pingsheng learned that Yinpan Ying had opened thirty-three Divine Apertures, then discovered his son He Luyu had come seeking help for the White Dragon Clan. He agreed to hear the clan patriarch’s plea, while warning He Luyu that he might not intervene if the cause and effect was too great.

• He Pingsheng told Wu Nana and Zhu Dong that their Divine Apertures would not change their eventual paths, then gave them permission to become Dao Companions.
• Zhu Dong said Yinpan Ying had opened thirty-three Divine Apertures, and He Pingsheng let her remain in seclusion.
• He Luyu told He Pingsheng and Wen Buwan that his Dao Companion Qingxi belonged to the White Dragon Clan, whose elder had taken a purple-gold Divine Bone claimed by the White Elephant Clan.
• He Luyu explained that a White Elephant Clan Divine King had threatened to destroy the Long Household unless the bone was returned within three days, and that two days had already passed.
• He Pingsheng ordered the White Dragon Clan patriarch, who was waiting outside the He Family estate, to be admitted to the lineage’s Great Hall.

He Pingsheng met He Luyu, Qingxi, and Long Wuxiang to discuss a white elephant clan relic that Long Wuxiang wanted help reclaiming. After examining the White Elephant Purple-Gold Bone, He Pingsheng discovered it contained an inheritance and told the others what he had seen.

• Wen Buwan declined to accompany He Pingsheng and asked him to return soon after settling He Luyu’s matter.
• He Pingsheng met He Luyu, Qingxi, and Long Wuxiang, the patriarch of the white dragon clan, and learned that the white elephant clan had taken a relic Long Wuxiang recovered from deadly grounds.
• Long Wuxiang showed He Pingsheng the White Elephant Purple-Gold Bone and asked him to appraise it so they could negotiate compensation.
• He Pingsheng’s divine sense entered the bone and revealed eighteen changing golden rune panels containing the white elephant clan’s inheritance.
• He Pingsheng withdrew his divine sense and told Long Wuxiang and the others that the bone held an inheritance they could not perceive.

He Pingsheng took Long Wuxiang to meet the White Elephant Clan’s Divine King at Dugu Peak and fought him after uncovering his attempt to extort the He Family. The wounded Divine King identified himself as Bai Yichen and warned that killing him could bring destruction upon the He Family.

• He Pingsheng, Long Wuxiang, and He Luyu failed to see the inheritance in the golden divine bone, so He Pingsheng agreed to meet the White Elephant Divine King at Dugu Peak.
• He Pingsheng, Long Wuxiang, and Zheng Honglu traveled to Dugu Peak, where He Pingsheng confronted the seventh-layer Divine King alone.
• He Pingsheng accused the white-robed man of using Long Wuxiang and the divine bone to extort wealth from the He Family, then demanded his name.
• The white-robed man attacked He Pingsheng, but He Pingsheng dodged the sword strike and wounded him with the Great Heavenly Wave Crushing Palm.
• Zheng Honglu aimed her divine bow at the wounded man, who revealed that he was Bai Yichen of the White Elephant Clan and threatened the He Family with the backing of a Divine Emperor lineage.

He Pingsheng fought Bai Yichen after Bai Yichen attacked instead of naming a price for the divine bone. He defeated him with repeated saber strikes and demanded to see his lineage token.

• He Pingsheng ordered Zheng Honglu to lower her bow and asked Bai Yichen to name a price for the divine bone.
• Bai Yichen abruptly attacked with sword light, and He Pingsheng countered with three punches from the enhanced Blood Mobilization Method.
• Bai Yichen revealed his giant white elephant form and charged with Eighteen-Elephant Strength, severely injuring He Pingsheng in their collision.
• He Pingsheng used the Asura Blood Saber and then repeatedly struck Bai Yichen with Heavenly Net Blood Saber Slash as he retreated.
• Bai Yichen could no longer withstand the eighth slash, fell into the valley, and returned to human form; He Pingsheng held his saber to Bai Yichen's neck and demanded to see his lineage token.

He Pingsheng forced Bai Yichen to reveal the White Elephant Clan’s secrets and learned that the Purple-Gold Bone contained the Eighteen-Elephant Strength legacy. He arranged to trade it for treasures, then returned to the He Family confident he could handle any reinforcements Bai Yichen might bring.

• He Pingsheng threatened Bai Yichen and used an unseen attack to make him answer questions about the White Elephant Clan.
• Bai Yichen explained that Eighteen-Elephant Strength was a powerful Dao of Strength Divine Ability, though he had learned only a four-elephant portion, and said the Purple-Gold Bone might hold its complete legacy.
• He Pingsheng revealed the bone contained eighteen Rune Pattern panels and agreed to exchange it for treasures when Bai Yichen returned from the White Elephant Divine Kingdom.
• He Pingsheng brought Long Wuxiang and Zheng Honglu back to the He Family, where he told He Luyu and Long Qingxi that Bai Yichen had gone to prepare a trade.
• Zheng Honglu warned that Bai Yichen might be fetching reinforcements, but He Pingsheng said the He Family could handle them and considered using his connection to Divine Emperor White Elephant to his advantage.

He Pingsheng upgraded the He Family’s mountain-guarding formation and spent years memorizing and enhancing the White Elephant Clan’s Eighteen-Elephant Strength. He learned that its supreme-grade version required understanding the laws of strength, then summoned Qianzhu, Gu Baiping, Zheng Honglu, and Yu Si to help him investigate.

• Su Zhenzhen brought He Pingsheng the requested resources and told him the He Family had a high-grade sixth-grade Mountain-Guarding Grand Formation with a backup set.
• He Pingsheng enhanced the backup formation materials and returned to Wen Buwan, reassuring her that his ties to Divine Emperor White Elephant might prevent future trouble.
• He Pingsheng spent a year enhancing the formation materials to supreme grade and sent them to Su Zhenzhen for the lineage’s defenses.
• After seventeen years in seclusion, He Pingsheng memorized the Eighteen-Elephant Strength diagrams and recorded the divine ability in a jade slip.
• He Pingsheng enhanced the jade slip to heaven tier supreme grade, learned that the ability required understanding the laws of strength, and searched a map for a related divine kingdom.
• He Pingsheng summoned Qianzhu, Gu Baiping, Zheng Honglu, and Yu Si after failing to identify a divine kingdom associated with strength.

He Pingsheng learned that the Great Dao of Strength had no Divine Kingdom and was monopolized by the Divine Emperor of Strength, then distributed Divine Artifacts to his servants. He was left astonished when Yinpan Ying revealed that she had awakened a Buddhist Dao Divine Spark, an unprecedented Divine Spark in the Divine Realm.

• Zheng Honglu, Gu Baiping, and Qianzhu told He Pingsheng that the Great Dao of Strength existed, but no Divine Kingdom cultivated it and the Divine Emperor of Strength monopolized its fortune.
• He Pingsheng gave Zheng Honglu a Cinnabar Heaven-Shaking Bow, Yu Si a Heavenly Demon Soul-Severing Spear, and Gu Baiping a Golden Mother Drum-Swinging Hammer, while Qianzhu said she could use Blood Refining Divine Artifacts.
• Wen Buwan told He Pingsheng that Yinpan Ying had left seclusion and wanted to seek opportunities, so He Pingsheng asked to speak with her.
• Yinpan Ying appeared before He Pingsheng with a peaceful white Divine Spark and said she had awakened a Buddhist Dao Divine Spark.
• He Pingsheng realized that Yinpan Ying's Divine Spark had never appeared in the Divine Realm, where Buddhism was a Daoist Law derived from the Great Dao of Goodness rather than one of the three thousand Great Daos.
