• Thunder Ancestor attacked Dongguan with his domain, while Dongguan's Calamity Battle Technique spread gray mist that eroded the lightning.
• Thunder Ancestor transformed the lightning with his blood and sealed the surrounding space-time, while Yanfeng Ancestor protected the city and watched their battle.

Dongguan watched Thunder Ancestor summon nine lesser Hunyuan creatures and gained insight into the Dao of form, then imitated their shapes and techniques with his gray mist. Despite adapting quickly, Dongguan’s portion of the sealed battlefield kept shrinking, leaving Thunder Ancestor close to victory.

• Thunder Ancestor continued attacking as Dongguan’s gray mist lost ground, and Yanfeng Ancestor wondered whether his intuition about Dongguan had been wrong.

• Thunder Ancestor summoned ten lightning figures whose formations fused into a Thunder World, which collided with Dongguan’s attack.

Dongguan used a World Projection to suppress Thunder Ancestor, who conceded the wagered duel before his formation was badly damaged. Dongguan then demanded changes to the Origin Continent’s order, beginning with opening its treasure lands to all cultivators, and started presenting his broader plan.

• Thunder Ancestor’s formation withstood Dongguan’s World Projection, but Yanfeng Ancestor recognized that the attack drew on the Source World’s seemingly infinite power.

• Thunder Ancestor inspected his formation and found that it could repair itself, then agreed not to pursue the earlier matter.
• Dongguan demanded that the Heaven Pillar Realm and Dream Domain be available to all cultivators rather than monopolized by a few.
• Yanfeng Ancestor asked what else Dongguan wanted, and Dongguan began outlining his plans to change the Origin Continent’s order.

Dongguan proposed a New Order for the Origin Continent, but Yanfeng Ancestor challenged him to a wagered duel to decide who would shape its rules. After agreeing to fight in three days, Dongguan invited Luo Feng to watch.

• Dongguan outlined his plan to break the treasure-land monopoly, continue visiting calamities upon God Kings, and spread the order built around his Technology Society.
• Thunder Ancestor disputed Dongguan’s policies, and Yanfeng Ancestor proposed a wagered duel that would let Dongguan decide the Origin Continent’s order if he won.

• Dongguan visited Luo Feng at the Blade River Sect and invited him to watch the upcoming battle.

• Di Qing and Feng Xi spoke with Luo Feng about their Daos and shared valuable information about the Origin Continent and what lay beyond it.
• Yanfeng Ancestor entered the battlefield and declared that Dongguan would win if he could break the pale cyan-and-red Flame Wind domain.

Dongguan fought Yanfeng Ancestor and analyzed the Flame Wind Great Dao, adapting his Calamity Battle Technique to touch the azure flames. Yanfeng Ancestor then used Flame Wind Tribulation to burn Dongguan through their karmic connection, leaving Dongguan alive and wondering what the Wind Tribulation would do.

• Dongguan studied Yanfeng Ancestor’s Flame Wind domain and concluded that its Great Dao combined the Immeasurable Great Dao with other Origin Great Daos.
• Yanfeng Ancestor’s azure flames transformed space-time and ignited Dongguan’s gray mist, forcing Dongguan to isolate and destroy the affected mist.
• Dongguan derived a space-time aspect for Heavenly Calamity, allowing his gray mist to touch the flames, but he struggled to control the unfamiliar transformation.
• Yanfeng Ancestor revealed that the azure-flame move had been inspired by watching Dongguan fight three days earlier, then unleashed Flame Wind Tribulation.
• Flame Wind Tribulation burned Dongguan’s Divine Body and Divine Power through their karmic connection, but Dongguan resisted it and wondered about the Wind Tribulation.

Dongguan endured the Yanfeng Ancestor’s Flame Wind Tribulation while searching for a way to overcome its curse without compromising his resolve. He invoked Three Saints Reincarnation to shield himself, buying time to deal with the tribulation as the Yanfeng Ancestor recognized the move’s potential but saw that Dongguan’s Other Shore was still incomplete.

• Dongguan resisted the Flame Wind Tribulation’s assault on his body and soul, realizing that it had both an internal source and an endless source sent through their cause-and-effect ties.
• Dongguan rejected the idea of conceding and asking the Yanfeng Ancestor to remove the tribulation, fearing that relying on an opponent could become a weakness against future enemies like Tamos.
• The Yanfeng Ancestor attacked Dongguan with Wind-Fire Spears while Dongguan struggled to balance defending himself with suppressing the tribulation.
• Dongguan declared that he had not lost and invoked Other Shore, reincarnation, using the Sea of Bitterness to block and grind down the incoming spears.
• The Yanfeng Ancestor recognized Dongguan’s technique as Three Saints Reincarnation but judged his Other Shore too small and illusory to last.
• Dongguan used the protection of the Sea of Bitterness to buy time and began dealing with the Flame Wind Tribulation.

Dongguan fought the Yanfeng Ancestor’s assault on his Sea of Bitterness while searching for the flaw in the Flame Wind Tribulation. The Yanfeng Ancestor bridged the sea and collapsed the secret art, but Dongguan immediately dissolved his renewed attack.

• The Yanfeng Ancestor sent waves of avatars into Dongguan’s Sea of Bitterness and steadily fought toward the Other Shore.
• Spectators remarked that the Yanfeng Ancestor was stronger, while the Thunder Ancestor noted that Dongguan still had nothing to fear on the Origin Continent.
• Dongguan realized that the Sea of Bitterness could not solve the root of the Flame Wind Tribulation and began examining its internal source for a flaw.
• The Yanfeng Ancestor’s avatars built a divine bridge across the Sea of Bitterness, collapsing it and returning Dongguan to the near shore.
• The Yanfeng Ancestor placed another Flame Wind Tribulation on Dongguan, but Dongguan dissolved it instantly, surprising his opponent.

Dongguan defeated Yanfeng Ancestor by breaking the Flame Wind Tribulation, winning control over the remaining time in the Origin Continent’s cycle. After returning to Huyang City, he entered seclusion to use what he learned about the Flame Wind Great Dao to perfect his Myriad Transformation Divine Body and pursue the Ultimate Realm.

• Dongguan broke Yanfeng Ancestor’s successive variations of the Flame Wind Tribulation, and Yanfeng Ancestor yielded the remaining time in the cycle to him.
• Thunder Ancestor, Di Qing, and the Eastern Extreme Region Progenitor accepted Dongguan’s victory and agreed to let him put his new order into practice.
• Dongguan returned Luo Feng to Huyang City, where Luo Feng released Morosa and the Original Ancestor before deciding to cultivate further.
• Dongguan reviewed the Flame Wind Great Dao and inferred how Yanfeng Ancestor had developed it by combining the immeasurable and extreme point great Daos.
• Dongguan resolved to perfect the Eight Transformations of the Myriad Transformation Divine Body, believing that doing so would bring him closer to the Ultimate Realm.

After two hundred eras in seclusion, Dongguan perfected the eighth transformation of the Myriad Transformation Divine Body and returned to the Origin Continent, where he found the Guantian Commerce Guild and Technology Society thriving. He entered the Ultimate Realm and began testing the immeasurable state of his divine body.

• Over two hundred eras, the Guantian Commerce Guild and Technology Society spread across the Origin Continent, while Galaxy God King led God Kings in destroying the Shadow Heaven Realm and driving its lord into the Dream Domain.
• In the Universe Ocean, Dongguan endured repeated bodily collapses until his divine body reached a state of natural perfection and he completed the eighth transformation of the Myriad Transformation Divine Body.

• Dongguan reviewed Luo Feng's battle with the Shadow Heaven Realm Lord and concluded that the hidden lord had escaped into the Dream Domain.
• In his Quiet Chamber, Dongguan entered the immeasurable state, combined his insights and secret arts, and reached the Ultimate Realm.

Dongguan reached the Ultimate Realm and spent 100,000 Reward Points to acquire the second step of the Path of Beginnings, hoping its teachings would guide his continued growth. As he studied the inheritance in Infinity Space, Yuan appeared and addressed him.

• Dongguan reviewed his Infinity Space records and considered how his Ultimate Realm breakthrough let him use the passage into Hunyuan.
• Dongguan reflected on the unfinished branches of his Dao and found that no available Secret Treasures suited him.
• Dongguan exchanged 100,000 Reward Points for the second step of the Path of Beginnings, called "Evolution."
• Dongguan studied the inheritance and considered how it could help him develop the Myriad Transformation Divine Body.
• An old man approached Dongguan and introduced himself as Yuan.

Yuan met Dongguan after his second exchange for a Perfect Level legacy and revealed the truth about the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk. The chapter left Dongguan learning that the Infinity Chip led to a mysterious, all-or-nothing domain tied to the schemes of the Progenitors of the innate primal chaos lifeforms.

• Yuan praised Dongguan's progress on the Path of Beginnings and warned him that other Perfect Level legacies could drive cultivators mad.
• Yuan recognized that Dongguan had comprehended all nine Origin Great Daos and learned of his plans, bloodline, and connections.
• Yuan temporarily suppressed Dongguan's Hunyuan bloodline and revealed that the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk concealed a crystal-like Infinity Chip.
• Yuan explained that Wuyin had used the Infinity Chip to carry information too weighty to reveal and that it could transport Dongguan's consciousness to the Infinity Domain.
• Yuan said the Infinity Domain was dangerous and poorly understood, and that those who returned described entering it as a gamble with everything at stake.

Yuan explained the Infinity Chip’s hidden danger and answered Dongguan’s questions about escaping the cage, the Tamos Bloodline, and his unusual Great Dao. Dongguan left with the Tamos Bloodline suppressed for now, but he would eventually have to face Tamos’s attempted resurrection himself.

• Yuan returned the adjusted Infinity Chip to Dongguan, warning that it suppressed his bloodlines but could only offer a desperate gamble and might bind him until he became a Lord.
• Dongguan sensed that the chip had parasitized him through his past use of the Three Saints Reincarnation Disk, but accepted that it had helped suppress the Tamos Bloodline.
• Dongguan asked Yuan how to handle Tamos, whether his Great Dao posed a problem, and how to escape the cage and become a Lord.
• Yuan explained that mastering the Hunyuan Dao was the only known route to becoming a Lord and that no cultivator had become a Hunyuan Ancestor by awakening a bloodline.
• Yuan said he had delayed Tamos’s awakening, but removing the bloodline would cripple Dongguan’s prospects, and Tamos would eventually try to use him as a vessel when he broke free of the cage.
• Yuan told Dongguan to trust and walk his own Great Dao rather than rely on Yuan’s guidance.
