• The two-in-one Liu Yong turned to face the ring and unleashed the Heaven-Overturning Seal taught to him by [Young Master].

Liu Yong was crushed by Wang Quan’s White Bone Ring as he reflected on his devotion to the [Young Master] and the endless resets of history. He realized the people of this era depended on his memories, then called for history to reset as he died.

• Wang Quan helped cultivators remain in the historical fragment, gave Yu Wanzhou and the others Magic Treasures to preserve, and secured agreements from those he aided.
• Wang Quan recorded the agreements in a covenant witnessed by the four quarters and eight directions, and the cultivators called it the Initial Covenant.

Yu Wanzhou and the others carried out the Initial Covenant for centuries while waiting for Liu Yong, then discovered that history reset and brought new cultivators to Black Dragon Ridge. The newcomers recognized Flower-Scatter Daoist Wang Quan as a beast, leaving Yu Wanzhou and the others facing an unexpected connection to later events.

• Wang Quan gave Yu Wanzhou and the others six Magic Treasures to support the Initial Covenant, though the decaying [One-Way Passage] warned that this fragment of history would never overlap with the Present World.

The chapter left them learning they could claim ten portions of resources for their current realm, or wait until advancing to receive resources for the next realm.

• The powerful figures learned that cultivators who failed to kill their assigned target in the historical fragment would never return, and no more cultivators emerged from the teleportation apparatus.

The Dao Court confirmed that killing [Liu Yong] had changed part of history, leaving Liu Yong with a lesser position under [Young Master].

• The great cultivators promised the Legend Cultivators rewards and clues to the mysterious Daoist Scriptures, while reserving the actual scriptures for those who contributed most to killing [Liu Yong].

• Wang Quan proposed sending a small group into the fragment where [One-Way Passage] and other powerful cultivators had stayed behind, so they could recruit them to eliminate future targets.
• The great cultivators gave the four their scriptures and confirmed that the historical record had changed: Liu Yong had become Chief Imperial Physician instead of Chamberlain for the Palace Revenues.

As they exchanged scriptures, Wang Quan discovered titles linked to Princess Tianxuan and Yu Wanzhou, leaving him suspicious that their actions in the past had shaped the Present World.

• Wang Quan deciphered the first page of [Emperor Tianxuan's Scripture on Bloodlines, Totems, Mountains, and Waters] and read that its author had been a princess of Great Shang titled Tianxuan.

Wang Quan read Emperor Tianxuan’s account of her battles with [Young Master], her repeated failures across history resets, and the hidden meaning woven into her Daoist Scriptures. The Scriptures merged into Wang Quan and began transforming his bloodline and purple mansion, while their concealed information remained beyond his understanding.

• Wang Quan read that Princess Tianxuan had created her own cultivation method, fought powerful Extraterritorial Heavenly Devils, and was eventually slain by [Young Master].

• The Daoist Scriptures dissolved into Wang Quan, carrying unreadable information and anger and despair as they began transforming his bloodline and purple mansion.
• Wang Quan opened the second volume of Daoist Scriptures, titled [The emperor spoke of big fish and begonias above the highest heavens].

Wang Quan read Yu Wanzhou’s Daoist Scriptures and learned how she had made her mark in the historical fragment, along with her discoveries about [Young Master]. He ended the chapter realizing that [Young Master] sought to extract the world’s essence and limit its power, though the reason involved beings beyond the world.

• Wang Quan realized Yu Wanzhou had compiled a volume of Daoist Scriptures and wondered whether other powerful cultivators trapped in the historical fragment had done the same.
• Yu Wanzhou’s scriptures described the Present World’s cultivation system, and Wang Quan asked a senior whether anyone else had read the exclusive volume.
• The senior explained that no one else could learn the scriptures unless they killed the previous reader, and Wang Quan clarified that he was only asking.
• Yu Wanzhou recounted how she had joined Princess Tianxuan and a rotten old relic to fight [Young Master], then chose to remain in the fragment and make her name in history.

• Yu Wanzhou and her companions suspected that [Young Master]’s actions connected the [Second-Layer World], the [Third Layer], and other worlds of the Present World to beings outside the world.

Wang Quan read Yu Wanzhou's warning that mastering many special Daoist Scriptures and cultivating the Fundamental Method might help people resist [Young Master]. After the scripture transformed his Inner Landscape, he began visualizing the extinct [Big Fish], gained many additional traits, and saw endless palaces in the heavens.

• Wang Quan considered whether future cultivators could change history by killing [Young Master], but concluded that eliminating all of his anchors had proved impossible.

• Wang Quan began studying [The Emperor Speaks: Big Fish and Begonia Rise Above the Clouds] and visualized the enormous, extinct [Big Fish] described by Yu Wanzhou.
• Wang Quan merged with the fish's outward form and gained at least thirty-six traits, then watched it transform into a bird and soar past thirty-three layers of astral winds toward endless palaces.

After returning from a fragment of history, Wang Quan examined his changed Dao Seal and realized his legend rating was increasing, suggesting he had changed history. He resisted the Chronicle of the Flower-Scatter Daoist's Struggles as it exaggerated his deeds, then resolved to strengthen his foundation and pursue a golden core.

• Wang Quan marveled at Yu Wanzhou's cultivation art and the vast airborne palaces he had seen in the historical fragment.
• Wang Quan checked his Dao Seal and found his lifespan had risen to 9,999 years, the two imperial scriptures were recorded as mastered, his yin virtue had fallen to one cubic unit, and his legend rating was increasing.
• Wang Quan concluded that the rising legend rating meant he had changed history.
• The Chronicle of the Flower-Scatter Daoist's Struggles wrote boastful accounts of Wang Quan defeating Liu Yong and reforming history, while Wang Quan tried to stop it.
• Wang Quan snapped the writing brush and resolved to use the dangerous magical duel to strengthen his foundation and make a push for the golden core.

Wang Quan emerged from seclusion, and Stone City celebrated with ten days of feasting. Amid the revelry, a cultivator relayed King Black Hand’s proposal that the New-Method Cultivators escape the Old Cultivation Method Cultivators’ harvesting by following him to the Underworld.

• Wang Quan emerged from seclusion because his cultivation methods made little progress in isolation, and Stone City’s lords declared ten days and nights of feasting.
• Warriors and spirit monsters celebrated, while a black goat spirit urged the sheep and goats to rebel against the sheepdogs before a passing cultivator secretly sheared their wool.

• The cultivator told the group that King Black Hand’s plan was to lead them into the Underworld, where they could reach the Pinnacle of the Mountain Range and escape being harvested by Old Cultivation Method Cultivators.

New-Method Cultivators prepared to flee Stone City with King Black Hand, who was secretly forced to operate a blood-draining spinning-wheel Magic Treasure while plotting revenge. Mei Niang and the others reunited with Wang Quan and Ruo Jinghong, discussed the threat of evil beings entering the Present World, and recounted their magical duels before heading toward the Second-Layer World.

• New-Method Cultivators agreed to escape with King Black Hand and planned to bring friends, relatives, and companions along.
• King Black Hand and other evil beings operated Ruo Jinghong's spinning-wheel Magic Treasure, while Black Hand plotted to kill his original body and return to take revenge on Stone City.
• Mei Niang told Wang Quan and Ruo Jinghong that evil beings had entered the Present World through the Underworld, and Ruo Jinghong warned that they had faced little resistance.

• Mei Niang and the others recounted their duels, in which they advanced to the finals and joined Ying Jiaren in a fragment of history to hunt Liu Yong in the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Mei Niang and the others recounted their ten-year hunt for Liu Yong and explained how they spent their contest points on magic treasures to expand Stone City’s population. Mei Niang proposed that she and Wang Quan lead by example, leaving Wang Quan alarmed.

• Ruo Jinghong and the others described how they hunted Liu Yong for ten years in a historical fragment until they wore him down and killed him.
• Mei Niang joked about holding prodigies’ descendants hostage and showed off the power of her refined Purple Palace Magic Implement.

• Mei Niang argued that Stone City needed a much larger population and proposed using magic treasures to produce a billion living beings a day.
• Mei Niang called for 108,000 sets of brood pouches so she and Wang Quan could set an example, and Wang Quan’s expression changed drastically.

Wang Quan and the cultivators fueled a population boom in Stone City, while [Ghost Emperor Heart] created a miniature Great Sun in the White Land Forbidden Zone to impress Beitang Xue. As the female cultivators dragged him toward the ship’s cabin, he begged Beitang Xue to save him and offered a secret about people who had descended into a fragment of history.
