After defeating the strange outposts, Jiang Zhu harvested their treasures and reforged his three artifacts while the Desolate Heavenly Emperor fought three Strange Immortal Emperors at the Plateau. Jiang Zhu then ventured into a vast, broken Path of Reincarnation, where the chapter left him crossing a frozen, lifeless expanse.

• Jiang Zhu smelted the Quasi-Immortal Emperor weapons and Immortal Gold into the Chaos Bell, Immortal Sword, and Divine Pot, greatly strengthening them.

Jiang Zhu’s accidental plucking of the Copper Coffin Master's stone zither triggered a catastrophe that revealed the Myriad Tribulation Reincarnation Lotus’s vast root and carried him beyond the Myriad Worlds. He reached the Heavens, resisted its attempts to erase him, and found the lotus’s true body covered with the dried corpses of history’s strongest prodigies.

• Jiang Zhu discovered that the Copper Coffin Master's stone zither lay beneath the secret liquid, and its note resonated with the root, devastating the corpse repository and killing nearly all its sleeping creatures.

• Jiang Zhu challenged the plan’s assumptions, warning that it depended on finding a suitable courier and might not prevent the Strange Clan’s great sacrifice.

Jiang Zhu revealed his method for refining darkness to the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, who gave him the Pollen Path’s ancestral method before returning to his blood.

• Jiang Zhu saw a woman lying at the end of the path, and the Desolate Heavenly Emperor’s blood surged there to block a calamity contaminated by the Strange Clan.
• Countless spirits took human form and moved toward the black chasm, while several ancient pioneers recognized Jiang Zhu and told him to return as they went to suppress the calamity.

Jiang Zhu witnessed the Pollen Path’s pioneers sacrifice themselves to cleanse the corrupted path, then used the Three-Life Bronze Coffin to glimpse the Strange Plateau’s origin and the ancient coffins of the Strange Ancestors. The vision ended with the Pollen Emperor still lying in blood and a strange, crystalline substance appearing across the chasm.

• The Pollen Path’s pioneers warned Jiang Zhu to rely on himself, then entered the chasm to confront the corruption and give their lives.

• The Three-Life Bronze Coffin stopped showing the past, and Jiang Zhu noticed crystalline, soil-like material on the far shore beside the Pollen Emperor.

Jiang Zhu stole Plateau Soil and learned from the Pollen Emperor that Desolate had cleaved open the Heavens, scattering spirit particles that could revive the Pollen Path. As hostile creatures from the Heavens arrived to recover or destroy the particles, one of them reached for Jiang Zhu.

• Jiang Zhu took the Plateau Soil into the Three-Life Bronze Coffin and left the strange world, where the Pollen Emperor warned him not to use it on the Myriad Tribulation Reincarnation Lotus.
• The Pollen Emperor said her return to life had little hope, but her path might revive; Desolate then split open the Heavens and scattered spirit particles across the worlds.
