• Luo Feng proposed breaking through the Allied Forces' Palace Supreme Treasures, but Giant Axe Founder and the others rejected using the Endless Nether Sea until Chaos City Lord returned.
• Lord of Ice Peak said the humans could hold out, while Dongguan asked the others to wait as he checked whether he could eliminate a Universe Strongest One.

• Island Master Shihua arranged a team of Universe Masters to accompany Void True Demon God, while he and E Zhou agreed to compensate them.
• Dongguan noticed the enemy attacks were drawing out overlapping weaknesses in the defensive barrier, warned Lord of Ice Peak to prepare rather than repair them, and waited with a stone in hand as the assault began.

The Starry Sky Behemoth Progenitor arrived at the Primal Secret Region and demanded information in exchange for joining either side, while the Ancestral God School also entered the conflict. Meanwhile, the Human Faction revealed that the Void True Demon God had breached the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, where Guantian was waiting to spring a trap.

After the Allied Forces withdrew, Dongguan warned humanity that the advantage from the Duan Donghe Inheritance might not last, since the World Beast Calamity could bring new opportunities to the Universe Ocean. The leaders then discussed what to do next and agreed to imprison the two captured Universe Strongest Ones under shared conditions.

• Chaos City Lord said the Allied Forces had withdrawn but warned that humanity still faced the Anti-Human Alliance and needed time to strengthen itself.

• Dongguan explained that there were shortcuts on the divine power path for cultivators who did not aim directly for a ninety-thousandfold divine body.
• Dongguan described an unusual way to break through the divine power path as he and Luo Feng exchanged their understanding.

Dongguan explained a resource-intensive divine power breakthrough method that Luo Feng recognized was meant for less talented Universe Masters, not himself. After Dongguan shared the method publicly, he and Luo Feng joined a Giant Axe Meeting to discuss resistance to humanity’s territorial expansion.

• Dongguan described a shortcut along the divine power path, and Luo Feng concluded that the Duan Donghe Inheritance omitted it because it could mislead its chosen successor.

• Dongguan and Luo Feng received invitations to a Giant Axe Meeting and connected to the Virtual Universe.
• The Giant Axe Founder told the assembled Universe Masters that resistance across the universe had blocked humanity’s territorial expansion and asked for suggestions.

Humanity’s territorial expansion stalled as enemy sabotage made each new region costly to occupy, prompting the Supreme Council to debate whether to limit its gains or press ahead. Giant Axe Founder asked Galaxy and Guantian for their views, leaving their response unresolved.

• Humanity expanded into fewer than a hundred Universe Countries before traps and environmental damage caused casualties and injuries.

Dongguan argued for establishing distant enclaves and footholds across other races’ territories, leaving humanity to seek help from the Ancestral God School and weigh the risks of the plan.

• Luo Feng proposed expanding by targeting and killing leaders who opposed humanity, but Chaos City Lord warned that humanity lacked the strength to carry out such a domineering strategy safely.
• Dongguan reviewed past territorial expansion records and explained that rival races had scattered hidden traps and prepared scorched-earth defenses in regions near Human Territory.
• Dongguan said humanity could not avoid lengthy, dangerous searches unless the universe origin intervened, and Luo Feng offered to ask the Ancestral God School for help.
• Dongguan proposed expanding into distant regions to establish enclaves, develop footholds among other races, and broaden access to resources rather than limiting expansion to neighboring territories.
• Lord of Ice Peak questioned the dangers of enclaves, and Dongguan answered that Divine Kingdom transport and the strength to capture enemy powerhouses could offset their vulnerabilities.
• Dongguan argued that sending Immortals and weaker fighters to battlefields against other races would temper them better than the blood demon trial.

Humanity settled on a cautious strategy while Luo Feng and Dongguan considered establishing new factions. Dongguan resolved his grievance with Lord Huang Jian through simultaneous battles across his four clones, and they reconciled.

• Humanity chose the conservative plan while assigning some forces to the enclave plan, and set aside Lord Huang Jian's costly proposal.

• Tianqi traveled to the Origin Source Continent, advanced rapidly by entering the Mother Sea, and reached universe-level peak within twenty years.
• Tianqi left cultivation behind to establish a laboratory in the Star World and research the cultivation system, later mastering a domain and breaking through to Domain Lord.
• Tianqi learned about Immortal Gods, assembled his own technology system, and applied to enter Beyond the Domain, the universe.
• Dongguan closed Tianqi’s journal in the Jinlan Secret Realm and prepared to meet him, feeling nervous.

Dongguan reviewed how Tianqi had grown independently and why the young World Lord had been selected to work on the secret Fate Planet project. Dongguan met Tianqi in the palace, where their encounter left both of them sensing an uncanny resemblance between themselves.

• Dongguan reflected on the Sacred Number Civilization’s drift toward cultivation and the decline of its technological path, while deciding not to intervene directly.
• Dongguan traced Tianqi’s unusual, bloodless rise to Peak World Lord and explained why the Calamity Mistress’s report from the Fate Planet project prompted him to arrange a meeting.
• Tianqi entered the palace and respectfully greeted Dongguan as the Skywatching Master.
• Dongguan and Tianqi looked at each other and each felt that the other was another version of himself.
• Dongguan sensed Tianqi’s private thoughts and was taken aback.

Dongguan approved Tianqi’s proposal to organize the Fate Planet Project’s fate routes into a profession system. Their connection then severed, leaving Tianqi free to pursue his own path as he departed the Divine Palace.

• Dongguan reflected on how shared desires, rather than shared memories, defined a person, and why he had created Tianqi to experience both technology and cultivation.
• Tianqi presented Skywatching Master with a plan to organize fate routes into a network of professions and break major cultivation breakthroughs into smaller steps.
• Dongguan recognized the plan as a further abstraction of the Fate Planet Project and saw observation and theory-building as a path for his own cultivation.
• Dongguan approved Tianqi’s plan, and Tianqi excitedly prepared to put it into action.
• As Tianqi left the Divine Palace, his connection to Dongguan severed, and he felt both bereft and relieved as he realized he was free.

Dongguan discovered that Tianqi’s recovered comprehension had revealed a living comprehension amplitude pattern that could grow through different experiences, and he decided to cultivate more such selves. He headed to the Giant Axe Miniature Universe to learn the Eight Fusion Laws while assessing the races’ resistance and preparing for Jin World’s arrival.

• Dongguan realized Tianqi’s living comprehension amplitude pattern could keep developing and provide a new path for creating selves shaped by different environments.
• Dongguan concluded that these selves could grow with a portion of his soul supporting them, then eventually become independent without losing anything when he retrieved their comprehension.
• Dongguan decided to visit the Giant Axe Miniature Universe and learn the Eight Fusion Laws from the imprisoned Starry Sky Behemoth Progenitor.
• Dongguan reviewed information about rebel forces and concluded that the races’ resistance to humanity’s outposts had left openings, though their current stability might not last.
• Dongguan warned himself that the races would develop counters to Forced Teleportation and that he could not rely on it as a universal solution.
