• 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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 touched the Celestial Emperor's Throne, causing it to flare with light and summon a projection of the Holy Court Celestial Emperor.
• The projection spoke with the young Jiang Shiluo, who said he did not know why he had been chosen as heir apparent.
