Dongguan showed Stars Lord and other Human Race leaders a world where he could reverse time and shape civilizations, revealing the beginnings of his Other Shore World. In the Origin Continent, he planned further experiments toward creating his Independent Space-Time.

• Youquan God King questioned Marquis Bai Sui about his failed attack on Dongguan and concluded that Dongguan might possess a secret treasure usable through a clone.

• In the Origin Continent, Dongguan reflected that his first attempt had succeeded and planned more experiments before beginning his Independent Space-Time.

Dongguan tested cultivating the hunyuan body by entering deeper spatial layers and adapting to hunyuan power with the help of his independent space-time and Break All Bans. He emerged in the wilderness carrying two fragments transformed from hunyuan power, one of which revealed itself to be valuable before it dissipated.

• Dongguan failed to create an Other Shore World in his independent space-time, but felt better able to detect and counter the Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion if he intruded again.
• Dongguan entered his independent space-time and moved it beyond the Chaos Layer, where he opened a controlled passage to hunyuan power.
• Dongguan used Break All Bans to adapt to increasingly concentrated hunyuan power, reaching the introductory stage of the hunyuan body.
• Dongguan continued deeper into the hunyuan environment, determined to master the hunyuan body and explore its properties.
• Dongguan appeared in the wilderness with two fragments transformed from hunyuan power, and his consciousness entered the evaporating crystal-like fragment before it vanished.

Dongguan studied the clear and turbid products of filtered Hunyuan power, then discovered that matter could be separated into basic and sublimation states and recombined. He saw a path toward standardized mechanical-flow technology but decided to continue researching privately until he was strong enough to protect it.

• Dongguan explained how Hunyuan power was filtered into clear energy that enhanced perception and turbid Primal Chaos Sand, which could serve as a material substrate and adapt to Hunyuan power.
• Dongguan considered how the Origin Continent or the Tamos bloodline might produce Hunyuan crystal, and weighed the benefits of crystal shards against secluded cultivation.
• Dongguan experimented with artifact-refining materials and discovered that matter could be separated into basic and sublimation states, then recombined into stable materials.
• Dongguan realized that his independent space-time could preserve these states and that his discovery offered a universal material standard for mechanical-flow technology.
• Dongguan decided to continue researching alone because the Origin Continent was dangerous and the technology could not yet be safely spread.

Dongguan explored the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk’s ability to extract Hunyuan bloodlines, then traveled the Origin Continent and found the fallen Purple Moon Ancestor. After killing Purple Moon, he considered using the Rainbow Splendor Sect as the foundation for a faction.

• Dongguan examined the faint White Fire and Blue Spring shadows in the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk and learned that extracting Hunyuan power raised the disk’s “Tai” progress bar.
• More than three hundred epochs later, Purple Moon lived in exile in Qiaohu Chaos Prefecture, near death after losing his Miniature Universe and being expelled from his sect.
• Dongguan found Purple Moon and breached his mental defenses to inspect his memories and information.
• Dongguan learned that Purple Moon’s will had advanced to Eternal True God-level and that information about him had leaked to a small sect.
• Dongguan erased Purple Moon’s consciousness and soul, then wondered how Jiao Mu Meng and the others were doing.
• Dongguan considered building a faction and decided the Rainbow Splendor Sect might serve as its shell.

Dongguan infiltrated Rainbow Splendor Sect to eliminate a danger left by Purple Moon and subdue the sect, but the grand elder chose reincarnation before hearing that submission was possible. Dongguan took the sect’s inheritance stone carving and approached sect master Hong Wandao, who agreed to hear him out.

• Dongguan appeared in the grand elder’s meditation chamber, neutralized his defenses, and trapped him in an independent space-time.
• The grand elder began a reincarnation technique to preserve the sect’s future, then realized Dongguan had offered him a chance to submit; he reincarnated before he could accept.
• Dongguan examined the Rainbow Splendor Sect’s stone carving, compared it with his Dream-Extinguishing Heart Scale, and judged it a useful but inferior copy of mysteries from a Hunyuan Creature.
• Hong Wandao grew uneasy about the grand elder, and Dongguan appeared before him with the sect’s inheritance carving.
• Hong Wandao recognized the carving, inferred that the grand elder had been defeated, and asked Dongguan to speak.

Dongguan subjugated the Rainbow Splendor Sect and ordered Hong Wandao to help establish a merchant association, while keeping his identity concealed. After Dongguan left, Hong Wandao inspected the supreme elder’s former chamber and decided to focus on preserving the sect.

• Hong Wandao asked Dongguan about the supreme elder, and Dongguan explained that the elder had hurried into reincarnation before they could speak.
• Dongguan agreed to receive the supreme elder’s customary treatment but said he would need the sect’s cooperation and would not stay there often.
• Dongguan told Hong Wandao to organize the merchant association’s initial personnel, and they discussed its structure and plans.

• Hong Wandao examined the traces of battle in the supreme elder’s meditation chamber, recognized Dongguan’s strength, and resolved to keep the sect going.

Jiaomu Rong and Jiao Mu Meng struggled to control the Jiaomu Society and decided to seek refuge with Dongguan. Dongguan appeared before them, accepted their offer of loyalty, and told them to gather trusted people so he could take them away.

• Jiaomu Rong and Jiao Mu Meng argued with the Jiaomu Society’s elders over paying the Youquan Family, and the meeting ended with each elder agreeing to contribute five thousand cosmic sand.
• Jiao Mu Meng and Jiaomu Rong decided to leave the failing faction after making the payment and discussed finding Dongguan rather than returning to their tribe.

• Jiao Mu Meng and Jiaomu Rong bowed to Dongguan and agreed to obey.

Dongguan found a way to send an octahedral crystal core through the Primal Universe’s restrictions and arranged for Lord Wanxing to retrieve it from a distant region of the Universe Ocean. He remained outside the Universe Ocean, planning to refine another crystal core and send it by a separate clone.

• Dongguan found the desired location along the Source World’s Membrane Wall and contacted the Origin Will of the Primal Universe.
• The Origin Will explained the regions of the Universe Ocean and the limits on its power, and Dongguan learned that powerful God Kings could not freely enter and destroy Miniature Universes.
• After negotiating with the Origin Will, Dongguan arranged for it to deliver his octahedral crystal core to a stable region far from the Primal Universe.
• Dongguan assigned Lord Wanxing to travel there by Universe Teleportation and retrieve the crystal core, telling him to prepare thoroughly and bring Supreme True Treasures.
• Dongguan watched the crystal core disappear and decided to refine another one, planning to send a different clone to deliver it.

Dongguan began organizing the merchant association in Rainbow Splendor City and examined Jiaomu Rong’s cultivation after learning about his experiences and the effects of possessing an Exotic Beast. He concluded that Jiaomu Rong’s cultivation paths were impaired and said there were three ways to increase his strength further.

• Dongguan brought Jiaomu Rong, Jiao Mu Meng, and their forces to Rainbow Splendor City to establish the merchant association discreetly.
• Dongguan showed Jiaomu Rong a memory transcriber intended as one of the association’s products and asked him to recount his experiences after leaving Qu Shi City.
• Jiaomu Rong used the transcriber to report what had happened, while Dongguan assessed the weaknesses caused by his possession of an Exotic Beast.
• Dongguan determined that Jiaomu Rong’s Bloodline and Law cultivation paths could not easily advance with his current foundation.
• Dongguan told Jiaomu Rong that he knew three methods to increase his strength, and Jiaomu Rong eagerly asked him to teach them.

Dongguan described three ways Jiaomu Rong could advance: comprehend the chaos law, use powerful one-time secret treasures, or fuse with another exotic being. He assigned Jiaomu Rong to oversee secret possession experiments and named the merchant association Guantian.

• Dongguan explained that Jiaomu Rong could continue cultivating through the chaos law, though the path would be difficult.
• Dongguan offered to make limited one-time secret treasures for the merchant association’s personnel to help them survive encounters with Chaos Masters.
• Dongguan proposed that Jiaomu Rong repeat his earlier fusion with an exotic beast, while warning that a chaos realm fusion was uncertain and dangerous.
• Dongguan tasked Jiaomu Rong and Jiao Mu Meng with recruiting volunteers for secret possession experiments and training successful participants as Hidden Guards.
• Dongguan told Jiaomu Rong not to involve the innocent in experiments, defining his enemies as those who took the initiative to oppose him.
• Dongguan named the merchant association Guantian.

Dongguan’s Guantian Commerce Guild expanded steadily across the Southern Chaos Land while he gathered wealth and cultivated. In Infinity Space, an unknown cause-and-effect Dao marked him, and Yingxing God King appeared before him.

• The Guantian Commerce Guild grew by bringing local dark forces into its network, while powerful factions watched its unusual supply, transport, and rising number of Eternal True Gods.
• Dongguan searched Infinity Space for mind creatures and entered a mist-shrouded valley that belonged to an absent Dao wielder.
• A starry mark tied to an unknown cause-and-effect Dao appeared on Dongguan’s hand and began tracking him, so he left the valley and studied the mark.
• Dongguan recognized that the unknown power fused the Extreme Point Origin Great Dao with the Cause and Effect Origin Great Dao and decided he could fight its wielder.
• The mark resonated with a brilliant star and vanished as Yingxing God King appeared before Dongguan.

Dongguan fought Yingxing God King in the Starlight World, using his auxiliary Dao to study and counter the unfamiliar Fusion Dao. After escaping the star river and losing the mark, Dongguan faced Yingxing again as he ended the fight and proposed they talk.

• Yingxing God King attacked Dongguan with a star formed from his Fusion Dao, and Dongguan countered it with his Cycle Secret Art.
• Yingxing sent a river of stars at Dongguan, who defended himself while quietly learning the structure of the Fusion Dao.
• Dongguan redirected the stars to create a gap, then disrupted the river of starlight and escaped the Starlight World.
• Yingxing appeared before Dongguan, praised his strength, dismissed the Starlight World, and proposed they talk.
• Dongguan asked Yingxing what he wanted to discuss.

Dongguan discussed the Dao with Yingxing God King, who described the dangers of the ancient kingdoms and explained the approaching end of the Origin Continent’s cycle. Dongguan left with a revised long-term priority: after reaching God King One in all nine origin great Daos and developing the external branch of his own Dao, he would pursue the ultimate realm in one origin great Dao.

• Yingxing God King discussed the Origin Continent’s resources and warned Dongguan that joining an ancient kingdom would not protect him from its dangerous, often-mad Emperor Lords.
• Yingxing God King described how the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms monopolized resources while other major factions avoided open conflict and hidden forces struggled to survive.
• Dongguan asked what Emperor Lords were, and Yingxing God King explained the difference between God King Two, the ultimate realm, ultimate realm lifeforms, and God Emperors.
• Yingxing God King revealed that the Origin Continent’s current cycle would end in a few billion epochs, making the ancient kingdoms’ control of survival resources a matter of life and death.
• Dongguan decided to keep his plan to reach God King One in all nine origin great Daos before developing the external branch of the Dongguan Dao, then prioritize reaching the ultimate realm in one Dao over attaining God King Two in every Dao.

Dongguan weighed joining the Myriad Laws Tower after God King Star Correspondence explained the hidden organizations, Hunyuan resources, and the Token’s terms. He then tested a dangerous octahedron on Lord Wanxing, who agreed to be the first subject.

• God King Star Correspondence described the major hidden organizations and explained why the Myriad Laws Tower might suit Dongguan, while the Reincarnation Pavilion was unlikely to invite him.
• God King Star Correspondence explained that only the Two Great Ancient Kingdoms had the resources to breed Origin Continent Hunyuan-bloodline creatures capable of producing Emperor Lord resources.
• God King Star Correspondence outlined the Token’s benefits and risks, and Dongguan decided to set it aside while he continued cultivating.
• Dongguan reflected on the gains from discussing the Extreme Star Great Dao with God King Star Correspondence.
• Dongguan offered Lord Wanxing the chance to test an octahedron, warning that failure would be fatal and could not be undone by his avatars.
• Lord Wanxing agreed to attempt the dangerous test.

Dongguan brought Lord Wanxing to a hidden space connected to the universe origin and used an Octahedron to test a new method of linking consciousness across space. The experiment began with Lord Wanxing’s consciousness drawn into the device, while Dongguan prepared to transmit a signal using cause and effect.

• Dongguan led Lord Wanxing through a hazy curtain of light into a space filled with Octahedrons and islands linked to the universe origin.
• Dongguan instructed Lord Wanxing to send his consciousness into an Octahedron, and Lord Wanxing formed an avatar inside its empty interior.
• Dongguan began building a bridge through cause and effect to transmit a signal to Lord Wanxing.
• Dongguan switched to a second contingency plan as the experiment proceeded and worried about the risks to Lord Wanxing’s soul and potential.

Dongguan tested whether a protected cause-and-effect signal could survive Hunyuan Power, using Lord Wanxing to follow it through a dangerous path of light. Lord Wanxing suffered soul damage but created a Sixth-Order Secret Technique, and Dongguan continued planning the experiment while considering its cost to his people.

• Dongguan captured a cause-and-effect fluctuation and sent it through increasingly powerful Hunyuan interference, but his protective sphere failed to preserve it.
• Lord Wanxing followed a path of light into the Octahedron and endured soul-eroding darkness until the path vanished and his memories began to fragment.
• Lord Wanxing returned to his body, discovered he had created a Sixth-Order Secret Technique, and reported that his damaged soul was slowly recovering.
• Lord Wanxing asked to join the experiment again after recovering, and Dongguan agreed to let him return once conditions were more stable.
• Dongguan admitted he would stop the experiment if its cost became too high, while Lord Wanxing urged him not to abandon it if it could help the race.
• Dongguan checked the sleeping True God from a hostile force who was being kept as an experimental subject.

Dongguan used the Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion’s Token to enter the Myriad Laws Tower space, where Yingxing God King explained how its accounts and membership worked. The Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion arrived to meet Dongguan, leaving their connection established through the space.

• Dongguan activated the Token and entered the Myriad Laws Tower space in an ordinary true god body.
• Yingxing God King recognized Dongguan, led him to the Methods Pavilion, and explained that he was assigned as Dongguan’s newcomer receptionist.
• Dongguan registered the account name “Heavenly Calamity” and exchanged contact details with Yingxing God King, whose account name was “Extreme Star.”
• Yingxing God King described the duties, rewards, and privileges of full members and Outer Members, including access to treasure-land missions.
• The Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion arrived, greeted Dongguan, and added him as a contact under the account name “Myriad Laws.”

Dongguan consulted the Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion about cultivation and learned of Infinity Space and the risks of the Heavenly Secrets Manual. He left intrigued by the inheritance, while Yingxing God King remained committed to his dangerous path despite his teacher’s warnings.

• Dongguan asked the Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion for guidance on the Myriad Transformation Divine Body, and the Master explained Infinity Space and its exchange system.
• The Master warned Dongguan that pursuing advanced transformations could waste time, and cautioned Yingxing God King that the Heavenly Secrets Manual carried dangerous backlash.
• Dongguan checked the manual’s requirements and costs, became interested in its teachings on cause and effect, and left to consider acquiring it.
• Yingxing God King defended his choice to follow the Heavenly Secrets Manual, and the Master said both he and Dongguan had to accept the consequences of their choices.
• After the Master vanished, Yingxing God King privately acknowledged his lingering resentment toward his teacher.

Dongguan adapted the Heavenly Secrets Manual’s cause-and-effect methods for an experiment that sent a complete consciousness along a Path of Light. Lord Wanxing reached the end of the path and began possessing a True God, while Dongguan confirmed that the experiment itself had succeeded.

• Dongguan read the Heavenly Secrets Manual, learned how its creator used costs to influence fate, and decided to adapt its methods rather than cultivate it directly.
• Dongguan continued his experiments with support from Lord Wanxing and others, finding that incomplete consciousnesses could provide data but only complete ones might succeed.
• Lord Wanxing entered the Path of Light with his complete consciousness and endured the darkness as the light beneath him dwindled.
• Lord Wanxing’s consciousness flowed into a True God’s body, where he found the sleeping soul within its True God Heart and began Possession.
• Dongguan sensed the Octahedron enclosing the True God Heart and declared the experiment a success, though Lord Wanxing’s Possession remained uncertain.

Dongguan brought Lord Wanxing to the Origin Continent and arranged for him to cultivate in a vacant cave abode near the Chaos Ruins. Lord Wanxing returned to Dongguan’s Miniature Universe to share what he had learned, but Dongguan discovered that the Supreme Rule treated his two bodies as separate individuals.

• Jiao Mu Meng greeted Dongguan at the Guantian Commerce Guild headquarters, and Dongguan asked him to prepare accommodations for Lord Wanxing and others who might arrive later.
• Jiao Mu Meng found a temporarily vacant cave abode, and Dongguan took Lord Wanxing there and left him cosmic sand, chaos crystals, and chaos stones for his expenses.
• Lord Wanxing began cultivating in the Origin Continent, then chose to attempt the Divine Power Path rather than focus on comprehending a path of laws.
• Dongguan brought Lord Wanxing’s consciousness back to his original body in the Miniature Universe, and Lord Wanxing offered to pass information about the Origin Continent to the others.
• Dongguan found that Lord Wanxing’s body on the Origin Continent was treated as an Outsider by the Supreme Rule, separate from his body in the Miniature Universe.

Dongguan defended his Origin Projection project and explained that his deepest goal was to witness all living beings lead wondrous lives. After saying he had made a breakthrough, he left Black Universe Founder stunned by the possibility that he was becoming a God King.

• A Universe Master suffered severe soul damage after his vessel rejected him, then awakened less than half an epoch later and confirmed that vessel death was not true death.
• Luo Feng used a Void True God vessel but experienced soul instability, so Dongguan stopped him and others from attempting further vessel changes for the time being.
• Human Race powerhouses began exploring the Origin Continent more freely, while Dongguan studied why Morosa could not project his consciousness outside the Source World.
• Black Universe Founder warned Dongguan that others criticized his use of powerful beings as experimental vessels, and Dongguan dismissed the concern by calling them his enemies.
• Dongguan told Black Universe Founder that he sought to let all living beings lead wondrous lives so he could watch, then revealed that he had made a breakthrough.
• Black Universe Founder spat out his wine and asked whether Dongguan was becoming a God King, but Dongguan shook his head.

Dongguan reached God King Ultimate Realm Will but delayed becoming a God King so he could perfect his Miniature Universe and continue cultivating Three Saints Reincarnation. After exchanging for its second volume, he learned how Other Shore Reincarnation could provide a way to survive the Source World's Great Destruction, then turned his attention to settling old grudges; Marquis Bai Sui sensed that someone had arrived.

• Dongguan reached God King Ultimate Realm Will after comprehending the Constant Change branch, but suppressed his breakthrough to God King while he worked on perfecting his Miniature Universe.
• Dongguan reviewed Infinity Space's inheritance exchange list, considered Path of Beginnings, and decided he should not take on another difficult inheritance yet.
• Dongguan exchanged 5,000 Reward Points for the second volume of Three Saints Reincarnation and learned that Other Shore Reincarnation could let its user survive the Source World's Great Destruction by reincarnating into the next era.
• Dongguan resolved to settle old grudges while he continued suppressing his realm and adjusting his Miniature Universe.
• In You Kingdom's Bai Sui City, Marquis Bai Sui looked toward the sky and said that someone had finally come.

Dongguan killed Marquis Bai Sui, only for Marquis Bai Sui to reincarnate and Youquan God King to ambush him over a secret treasure. Dongguan survived Youquan’s first strike and faced his projection as powerful beings watched, leaving the fight unresolved.

• Dongguan realized Marquis Bai Sui had activated the Reincarnation Secret Technique before his arrival, then erased Sui Shi’s soul and recognized that he had fallen into Youquan God King’s trap.
• Youquan God King struck Dongguan with a sword that attacked his body and soul, but Dongguan resisted by replenishing his Divine Power and keeping his body from dying.
• Youquan God King sensed Dongguan’s Ultimate Realm will, abandoned his attempt to locate the secret treasure through the mirror, and chose to attack through a projection instead.
• Youquan God King’s projection confronted Dongguan in a netherworld ocean, and Dongguan used the Calamity Battle Technique to dissolve his form into mist.
• Yingxing God King and the Master of Myriad Laws Pavilion watched from afar while other powerful beings speculated about why Youquan God King targeted Dongguan.

Dongguan fought Youquan God King's projection, using the clash to deepen his insights before escaping with Marquis Bai's body. Youquan examined the residue of Dongguan's Calamity Battle Technique and realized it used tiny Particle Robots, while suspecting Dongguan had mastered too many origin great daos.

• Dongguan met Youquan God King's Netherworld Sea with his White Mist Calamity, and the clash advanced his understanding of several origin great dao branches.
• Youquan used Death Erosion and repeatedly adjusted the Netherworld Sea's phase, but the attack failed to make decisive progress against Dongguan.
• Dongguan wrapped Marquis Bai's body in mist and escaped through multiple Space-Time Vortexes, purifying himself after Youquan's sea invaded his independent space-time.
• Youquan examined the remaining mist and recognized that Dongguan's Calamity Battle Technique used tiny Particle Robots that multiplied by converting external and enemy energy.
• Youquan inferred that Dongguan had displayed methods tied to several origin great daos and felt that something was amiss.

Dongguan extracted Marquis Bai Sui’s bloodline and discovered he could burn it to gain a temporary boost in power, adding a new trump card. As Dongguan withdrew from public view to cultivate, Formless Ancestor noticed similarities between his techniques and those of a ruler from a conquered kingdom.

• Dongguan extracted Marquis Bai Sui’s white-fire bloodline, raising the “Fa” progress bar of the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk.
• Dongguan learned he could burn the bloodline for a temporary increase in might, potentially reaching God King-level power, and considered collecting more Hunyuan Bloodlines as fuel.
• Dongguan chose to continue cultivating and postpone his God King breakthrough until he had adjusted his Miniature Universe.
• Reports about Dongguan’s battle with Marquis Bai and confrontation with Youquan God King spread, prompting factions to speculate about his identity before his disappearance from public view.
• Formless Ancestor read intelligence about Dongguan and suspected his techniques resembled those of Jin, a ruler of the conquered Pu Kingdom, then left a message for Sky Kun Kingdom Lord.
