• Michael ordered his delegation to seek resources and support for temporary Super Teleportation Gates in Wind, Ember, Stone, and Sea Wilderness, promising tenfold repayment and warning that the gates could connect to the Eastern Region’s army.

• Supreme Tu claimed Yuliel was the Celestial Emperor's legitimate successor because Jiang Shiluo's legacy had chosen him, prompting cheers from the Eastern Region's forces.

• Jiang Yuu silenced the battlefield, called Supreme Tu back, and declared that he cared neither for succession nor the Celestial Emperor's legacy, since he would take what he wanted with his sword.

Jiang Yuu declared that he would take the Multiverse by force, while the Jun Court prepared to defend against the Eastern Region’s smaller army. The two sides formed up across Nothingness, and Jiang Yuu called on his followers to charge into the Jun Court’s formation.

Jiang Yuu unleashed a devastating sword attack on the Jun Court’s strongest Supremes, then broke through their formation and led the Eastern Region forces into a charge. The Jun Court’s ranks began to collapse as one Supreme fled in terror.

• Jiang Yuu struck the eleven Forbidden Supremes with a sword attack he had nurtured over a thousand years, and Supreme Jun urged them to withstand it.
• Jiang Yuu summoned the Sword Tomb of Myriad Armies, the White Gold Sun, and ten Radiant Projections to attack the eleven Supremes.

• A Jun Court Supreme who feared he could not survive Jiang Yuu’s sword turned and fled.

Jiang Yuu gained the upper hand against the Jun Court’s strongest fighters as the war with the Eastern Region dragged on, while the new king of the Mirror Sea expanded into the Western Region. By the seventh millennium, he had united both regions and emerged as the third great power.

• The Empress of the Jun Court and Supreme Jun recognized that defeating Yuliel was essential to saving their cause, but Jiang Yuu held his own against them and the Jun Court’s strongest fighters.
• Over the first three millennia, Jiang Yuu learned the Jun Court leaders’ methods and began suppressing them, while observers from other regions watched the war and the Mirror Sea’s new king began conquering the Western Region.
• Jiang Yuu broke through in his use of conceptual-level power, disrupting the Jun Court leaders at critical moments and leaving Supreme Jun and Luan shaken by his strength.
• In the fourth millennium, Jiang Yuu killed two of the Jun Court’s original Five Elders after they tried to flee, and Supreme Jun’s forces refused to save them.
• By the seventh millennium, the new king had conquered the Western Region, united it with the Mirror Sea, and commanded six hundred Supremes as the Bright King of the Mirror Sea.

Ming Laite, the Bright King of the Mirror Sea, visited A Wunuo in the Northern Domain to recruit him and gain an advantage over his rivals. A Wunuo refused to receive him, so Elder Mirror revealed itself as the Celestial Emperor Mirror, drawing the attention of a mysterious middle-aged man.

• The Mirror Sea army invaded the Northern Domain, but the Frost Council and the Biting Wind Shrine united and easily repelled it while Ming Laite was away.
• Ming Laite and Elder Mirror found A Wunuo’s hidden residence and revealed that the apparent small universe concealed a vast great universe.
• Elder Mirror urged Ming Laite to win A Wunuo’s approval so he could defeat the two traitors and restore Celestial Emperor Mu’s glory.
• Ming Laite requested an audience with A Wunuo, but a cool voice refused him.
• Elder Mirror flew from Ming Laite’s hand and pierced the universe’s disguise, revealing a middle-aged man who recognized it as the Celestial Emperor Mirror.

Ming Laite and the Celestial Emperor Mirror visited A Wunuo to ask him to help restore the Holy Court, but A Wunuo warned that the Central Region’s war was nearing its end and recalled a prophecy naming Yuliel as the Celestial Emperor’s successor. After Ming Laite revealed himself as a Temporal Undying Bird, he urged A Wunuo to help him claim the position and unite the Multiverse’s nonhuman races.

• A Wunuo welcomed Ming Laite and the Celestial Emperor Mirror into his small universe and kept his unusual cultivation environment secret.
• Ming Laite asked A Wunuo to leave seclusion and help defeat the rebels, rebuild the Holy Court, and restore the Celestial Emperor’s glory.
• A Wunuo warned that Yuliel was close to defeating the Jun Court and establishing a new order, while Ming Laite argued that the exhausted factions could still be defeated.
• A Wunuo cited a prophecy that the Celestial Emperor’s successor would be the Lord of Radiance, the Winged God.
• Ming Laite revealed his true form as a Temporal Undying Bird, and A Wunuo acknowledged that he fit the prophecy but doubted a nonhuman could become Celestial Emperor.
• The Celestial Emperor Mirror reminded A Wunuo that the law of humanity had shattered and that A Wunuo himself was not human, while Ming Laite proposed uniting all nonhuman races if he became Celestial Emperor.

Ming Laite persuaded A Wunuo to join the Mirror Court by promising a future in which alien races could unite and thrive. The Mirror Sea then withdrew from the Northern Domain to race toward the exhausted Central Region battlefield, where Supreme Jun proposed a temporary truce to Yuliel.

• Ming Laite argued that he could unite the alien races and inscribe their law into the Multiverse, and A Wunuo agreed to join him despite suspecting that Ming Laite chiefly wanted his combat strength.
• Ming Laite offered to share supreme authority with A Wunuo and the Celestial Emperor Mirror, which took the form of a middle-aged man.
• The Celestial Emperor Mirror urged Ming Laite to abandon plans to conquer the Northern Domain and march to the Central Region battlefield before the Jun Court and Eastern Paradise Mountain finished fighting.
• Ming Laite agreed, and A Wunuo sealed his small universe and followed the Mirror Sea army as it withdrew from the Northern Domain.
• After eight millennia of fighting left both sides exhausted and wounded, Supreme Jun asked Yuliel to call a temporary truce.

As Jiang Yuu rejected Supreme Jun’s plea for peace and unleashed his strongest sword strike, Supreme Jun invoked the Concept Equilibrium to equalize the strength of everyone present. The chapter ended just as the battlefield’s power balance changed.

• Jiang Yuu refused to reconcile with Supreme Jun, insisting that the Jun Court and Paradise Mountain had to fight until one side won or fell.
• The battered armies suffered heavy losses, including Wolpis, Raguel, and Remiel, while more than three hundred Jun Court Supremes had died.
• Jiang Yuu declared that he would give everything to end the war and unleashed a sword strike stronger than his earlier attacks.
• As the Jun Court’s fighters struggled against Jiang Yuu’s sword, Supreme Jun stepped forward and vowed that the Jun Court would not end.
• Supreme Jun invoked the Concept Equilibrium, equalizing the strength of everyone present just before Jiang Yuu’s sword light fell.

Supreme Jun’s Power of Concepts equalized strength across the Multiverse, but A Wunuo and the Celestial Emperor Mirror concluded that Jun could sustain it only briefly and that Yuliel would counter it. As the Mirror Court’s leaders discussed the war and the possible future Celestial Emperors, a new Power of Concepts spread from the Central Region battlefield.

• Supreme Jun unleashed a Power of Concepts that equalized the strength of living beings across the Multiverse, disrupting battles and overturning outcomes in distant universes.
• The Conceptual Level power swept through the Mirror Court’s advancing army, startling the Celestial Emperor Mirror, Ming Laite, and A Wunuo.
• A Wunuo identified the power as a limited form of equilibrium associated with Jun and said Yuliel had appeared in his prophecy, though he was not necessarily destined to become Celestial Emperor.
• The Celestial Emperor Mirror warned that Jun was close to defeat, explaining that the power could not last long and that Yuliel could counter it.
• A new Power of Concepts thundered outward from the Central Region battlefield.
