• He Pingsheng used Heavenly God Slash to defeat Wu Nana, injuring her body and soul, then demanded her Heavenly Dao Slave Mark.
• Wu Nana tried to escape after healing her body, but He Pingsheng caught her and warned her that she would die if she tried another trick.
• Wu Nana surrendered her Heavenly Dao Slave Mark, and He Pingsheng made her his servant and told her to come with him.

He Pingsheng made Wu Nana his eighth servant, then sought a way to reincarnate Wen Buwan in the Profound Demon Heavenly Ruins. Worried that Divine Emperor Everlasting Life’s power might conceal a scheme, he put Wen Buwan’s soul into the Treasure-Gathering Basin to split it and preserve a backup.

• He Pingsheng counted his servants and made Wu Nana his eighth, leaving room for one more.

• He Pingsheng suppressed Wen Buwan’s consciousness and placed her soul into the Treasure-Gathering Basin.

He Pingsheng empowered Wen Buwan’s soul with Divine Emperor Everlasting Life’s power and sent her into reincarnation, then encountered Dao Lord Heavenly Mallow, who revealed where Wen Buwan would be reborn. He left knowing she would be born in the lower realm in about 6,200 years.

• He Pingsheng merged the purple light into Wen Buwan’s enhanced soul, and she sensed that it would preserve her memories and fortune through reincarnation.
• As Wen Buwan was summoned to reincarnate, He Pingsheng gave her the Primordial Purple Gold Staff and sent Red Spirit with her to protect her.

• Dao Lord Heavenly Mallow calculated that Wen Buwan would be reborn in about 6,200 years in the Heart-Contemplation Star System under the Hundred-League Star Cluster.

He Pingsheng and Wu Nana found the Heart-Contemplation Star System in the Hundred-League Star Cluster and settled on Yinpan Star. He Pingsheng joined Wen Buwan’s second soul with Qiao Huizhu’s preserved body, where a faint spark of life began to form.

• He Pingsheng and Wu Nana traveled to the Heart Contemplation Immortal Enclosure and asked Immortal Emperor Baili for a star chart.

He Pingsheng learned from Wu Nana that the Demonic Realm had nine Chaos Great Dao Orders above its Ninefold Heavens, then tried to preserve and refine Chaos Origin so he could comprehend them. His alchemy failed to retain the Chaos Origin’s chaotic properties, leaving him to reconsider how to study it.

• He Pingsheng questioned Wu Nana about the Demonic Realm and learned that it had four Demon Sages, a Ninefold Heavens, and cultivation practices much like the Immortal Realm’s.
• Wu Nana told He Pingsheng that the First Demon Sage had seen nine Chaos Great Dao Orders above the Demonic Realm’s Ninefold Heavens but had been unable to take them.
• He Pingsheng decided to investigate Chaos Origin and took out a seventh-grade lump, but Wu Nana warned that it would evolve into the innate five elements if exposed to the void.
• He Pingsheng put the Chaos Origin in the Treasure-Gathering Basin, enhanced it into two lumps over three days, and began refining a Spring and Autumn Great Dao Pill.
• He Pingsheng completed the pill, but the Chaos Origin inside had already transformed into an amalgamation of more than a hundred laws and lost its chaotic properties.

• He Pingsheng enhanced the Spring and Autumn Great Dao Pills, but found they had no chaos attribute and could not help him comprehend Chaos Laws.
• He Pingsheng let the Primordial Purple Gold Staff devour the ninth-grade ore Zhu Ranyu had given him.
• He Pingsheng weighed comprehending the Great Dao of Chaos against the Spatial Great Dao as the primary Daoist Law for his breakthrough.

• He Pingsheng told Nana to wait while he went out to find a Divine Sense Divine Ability that could open a space.

• He Pingsheng flew toward the Ninefold Heavens and reached their vicinity after a few days.
• Four great all-encompassing golden immortals stopped He Pingsheng and told him he needed a Nine Heavens Token to enter.
• He Pingsheng asked how to obtain a Nine Heavens Token, and the four guards froze before laughing at him.

He Pingsheng learned that the Heaven Ascension Gathering was still underway and that he would have to wait at least four thousand years for the next one, so he pursued other means of gathering Chaos Origin. Unable to find a Divine Sense Divine Ability that could open a void, he created one himself and successfully opened a small void with his new Yin Void World ability.

• The woman rejected He Pingsheng’s hopes of obtaining a Nine Heavens Token and mocked his ambition to comprehend the Chaos Laws.
• Elmwood explained that the current Heaven Ascension Gathering had already been underway for six thousand years, meaning He Pingsheng would have to wait at least four thousand years for the next one.

He Pingsheng decided to build his cultivation around Chaos Daoist Law and began preparing to condense a Chaos Dao Seed. At the Mystic Heaven Commerce Association, he traded two seventh-grade supreme-grade offensive Immortal Talismans for Chaos Origin and learned that others were investigating how he comprehended Chaos Daoist Law.

• He Pingsheng chose Chaos Daoist Law as the foundation for his Dao Seed and planned to seek Chaos Order at the Ninefold Heavens before falling back on Spatial Great Dao Order if necessary.
• He Pingsheng visited the Mystic Heaven Commerce Association to obtain Chaos Origin and items that could improve his comprehension, but Daoist Elmwood said the Heavenly Ruins had no such items beyond Heavenly Enlightenment Golden Cores.

• He Pingsheng held out the Jade Slip containing Yin Void World and gave the writhing Ao Qi one breath to look at it.

As he prepared to use merit to advance his Chaos Daoist Law, Elmwood warned that Ao Qi’s master, Heavenly Thunder Immortal Emperor, might come after him, but He Pingsheng chose to stay on his own planet.

• He Pingsheng withdrew the Great Heart-Devouring Seal, and Ao Qi, frightened by its pain, abandoned his plans and left.
• He Pingsheng returned to Yinpan Star, gave Wu Nana the [Great All-Encompassing Divine Sense Condensation Art], and prepared for secluded cultivation.

• He Pingsheng thanked Elmwood but refused to leave, saying he had his own plans and probably would not die.

He Pingsheng gave Daoist Elmwood a method for making Message Transmission Immortal Talismans to share freely, hoping to gain Heavenly Dao Merit. The Thunder Emperor arrived with Ao Qi to punish He Pingsheng, but their battle left the Thunder Emperor’s golden barrier rapidly losing layers under He Pingsheng’s sword attack.

• He Pingsheng gave Daoist Elmwood the Message Transmission Immortal Talisman method and asked him to make it freely available throughout the Heavenly Ruins.

• He Pingsheng attacked the Thunder Emperor with his Black-and-Yellow Divine Sword, forcing him to protect himself and Ao Qi with a seven-story pagoda whose golden barrier began to collapse.

He Pingsheng fought the Thunder Emperor, the Heavenly Ruins’ strongest Immortal Emperor, and overcame his defenses with brute strength, talismans, and Heart Seals. After four hours of torment, the Thunder Emperor surrendered, and He Pingsheng declared that he would suppress him for ten thousand years.

• The Thunder Emperor watched He Pingsheng break through his golden pagoda defenses and attacked with an eighth grade Dao Armament, a pitch-black divine hammer.
• He Pingsheng transformed into a golden giant, endured the Thunder Emperor’s hammer blows, and shattered the pagoda with his fist.

After thousands of years comprehending Chaos Daoist Law, He Pingsheng created and perfected Chaos Swift Movement, a teleportation ability that bypassed space. He tested it by trying to enter the Mystic Heaven Immortal Domain’s great vortex, but exhaustion and its repulsive force drove him back out.

• He Pingsheng spent 4,300 years comprehending Chaos Daoist Law and received the incomplete inspiration for a Divine Ability that could replace spatial law in Void Swift Movement.
• He Pingsheng spent more than 600 years modifying Void Swift Movement to operate through Chaos Daoist Law, then enhanced it into the Heaven Tier Supreme Grade Chaos Swift Movement.
