Jiang Yuu learned that envoys from the Boundless Mountains and Seas had come seeking help against Great Emperor Duomeng’s invasion, after the Jun Court refused them. He invited them to Paradise Mountain to consider their request, and Divine Lord Serenity believed he would support them because he could act with authority across the Eastern Region.

• Divine Lord Serenity told Jiang Yuu that Great Emperor Duomeng, son of the Crystal Emperor, was leading an invasion of the Boundless Mountains and Seas, and that the Jun Court had refused to send reinforcements.
• Jiang Yuu said he needed time to consider the request and invited the two envoys to stay at Paradise Mountain.
• After Jiang Yuu’s phantom eyes vanished, Immortal Lord Longevity worried that they might return without help, while Divine Lord Serenity argued that Jiang Yuu’s authority and ambitions made support likely.
• Divine Lord Serenity produced an ancient, damaged token as a possible connection to Jiang Yuu, and a streak of silver holy light came from the sacred mountain through Nothingness.

• Sophia escorted the two Supremes and their delegation from the Boundless Mountains and Seas to Lilaite and learned that the Endless Planes had invaded their realm.

Jiang Yuu planned an expedition to the Boundless Mountains and Seas after learning from Immortal Lord Longevity and Divine Lord Serenity about the Endless Planes’ invasion. He set Eastern Region preparations in motion and asked Supreme Tu how they could leave the Multiverse without crossing Jun Court territory.

• Immortal Lord Longevity described the war between the Boundless Mountains and Seas and the Endless Planes, then wept as he remembered home.
• Divine Lord Serenity estimated that more than a thousand Supremes from the Endless Planes had invaded, and Supreme Tu judged that Eastern Paradise Mountain should send six hundred Supremes.

Supreme Tu identified the Eastern Region’s sealed passage as a broken World Bridge in the Polar Lands, and Jiang Yuu prepared to investigate whether it could be reopened.

• Supreme Tu explained that nine passages once connected the Multiverse to Nonbeing and that the Celestial Emperor sealed all but the Central Region passage after an invasion by the Endless Planes.
• Jiang Yuu asked whether the Multiverse’s barrier could be breached, but Supreme Tu warned that doing so could damage the whole Multiverse and leave the barrier difficult to repair.

• The Eastern Region Supremes realized that the dark, chaotic place they knew was actually a passage between Being and Nonbeing.

Jiang Yuu planned to defeat Elovite by surprise, but when the battle began, Elovite asked Obsidian whether he was a founding elder of Eastern Paradise Mountain.

• Jiang Yuu arrived undetected at Obsidian Supreme’s palace and said he would personally lead the next day’s campaign to unify the Eastern Region.

• Jiang Yuu ordered Obsidian Supreme to draw Elovite’s forces into battle while he and his people entered the battlefield unseen to decide the fight by surprise.
• Obsidian Supreme led his army onto the battlefield, where Elovite appeared and asked whether Obsidian Supreme was one of Eastern Paradise Mountain’s founding elders.

Elovite and Obsidian Supreme faced off while the King of a Thousand Cities attacked Jiang Yuu with Deep Blue Wasteland, covering the Nullity Battlefield. Jiang Yuu destroyed the attack and emerged in radiance, leaving the Supremes stunned and suggesting that someone had shared their plan.

• Jiang Yuu walked onto the battlefield and told Obsidian Supreme that someone seemed to be thinking along the same lines as them.

Jiang Yuu defeated the King of a Thousand Cities and her reinforcements, then demanded the remaining Eastern Region and Returning Wilderness Supremes submit.

• Jiang Yuu’s victory was revealed as the King of a Thousand Cities and nine Supremes knelt, pinned beneath the Sword Tomb of Myriad Armies.
• Jiang Yuu joined the Obsidian Supreme and demanded that the Eastern Region’s remaining Supremes submit or die.

• Sinasha, the King of a Thousand Cities, asked Jiang Yuu to spare Elovite and offered Returning Wilderness’s submission.
• Jiang Yuu withdrew the force suppressing Sinasha and warned her that he would suppress them again if she deceived him.

Jiang Yuu accepted Sinasha and Elovite’s allegiance and revealed that he planned to lead an expedition to the Boundless Mountains and Seas to repel an invasion by the Endless Planes. Just as he prepared to give his new followers their orders, a terrifying force descended and he realized the Multiverse was in upheaval.

• Elovite pledged himself to Jiang Yuu, and Sinasha reunited with him after revealing their affection and her lack of ambition to rule the Returning Wilderness.
• Sinasha offered the Thousand Wilderness Lands to Jiang Yuu, and she and Elovite swore allegiance alongside the other Supremes.
• Jiang Yuu welcomed the new followers to Eastern Paradise Mountain and said he had spared them because he needed their help.
• Jiang Yuu told Sinasha, Elovite, and the others that Duomeng and the Endless Planes were invading the Boundless Mountains and Seas, so he intended to lead an expedition there.
• An overwhelming terror descended, and Jiang Yuu rose from his throne, declaring that the Multiverse was in upheaval.

• The Multiverse’s Law of Humanity shattered, allowing other laws to reshape worlds and weakening humanity’s dominance in newly formed universes.
• Supreme Jun resolved to unify the Multiverse and have the Jun Court replace the shattered Law of Humanity’s role in maintaining order.
