Gu Chenfeng shared a meal with the Dragon Emperor and the Barbarian God before preparing for the decisive battle against a being above Saint Level. That night, Taiching Daoist appeared to seek a child with him, but Gu Chenfeng discovered her figure was an avatar and found Daoist Yuqing controlling a Star Chart.

• Gu Chenfeng reassured the Dragon Emperor and the Barbarian God that the Seven Star Continent would survive, and the three vowed to fight together.
• Gu Chenfeng asked Taiching Daoist whether she had taken disciples, and she said she had accepted a child named Yuxu before warning Gu Chenfeng not to dwell on worldly desire.

• Gu Chenfeng recognized that the woman before him was an avatar.

Gu Chenfeng learned that the four leaders had sealed him away so he would survive their battle against the Four Saints, and he promised to protect their people if they fell. As they began their desperate fight, he struggled to break the barrier so he could witness the formation of the Saint-Seizing Land.

• Gu Chenfeng discovered that Taiching Daoist inside the barrier was an avatar, while Taiching Daoist, the Dragon Emperor, the Barbarian God, and the Heavenly Demoness revealed they had sealed him away to keep him from joining their dangerous battle.
• The four entrusted Gu Chenfeng with their techniques and resources, asked him to protect the Barbarian and Dragon clans, and promised to welcome him if they reached the Upper Realm.

• Taiching Daoist, the Dragon Emperor, the Barbarian God, and the Heavenly Demoness appeared on the Central Province Continent and faced Mingluo, the Four Saints, and an endless demonic tide.
• The four leaders charged into battle without fear, determined to fight to the death and open a path to save the Seven Star Continent.

Gu Chenfeng arrived at the Central Province Battlefield as Taiching Daoist, the Barbarian God, the Dragon Emperor, and the Heavenly Demoness used the plane laws to suppress the Upper Realm invaders. Marquis Yu’s secret treasure renewed the seal, but the enemy’s final strike forced the Heavenly Demoness to sacrifice herself to save her companions.

• Gu Chenfeng broke through Taiching Daoist’s barrier and teleported from the nameless island to the Central Province Battlefield.
• Taiching Daoist, the Barbarian God, the Dragon Emperor, and the Heavenly Demoness invoked the plane laws, trapping Mingluo, the other Upper Realm Saints, and ten Half-Saints in a black abyss.

• The Heavenly Demoness rushed in front of her companions and detonated her law power and primordial spirit, destroying her Bronze Mask and ancient armor as she stopped the beam.

Taiching Daoist, the Barbarian God, and the Dragon Emperor sealed the Saint-Seizing Land and ascended with Marquis Yu's help, leaving the Seven Star Continent in Gu Chenfeng's care. Marquis Yu aided the Heavenly Demoness's recovery and identified the sealing treasure as the Source of Calamity before Gu Chenfeng's Time Wheel Space began to close.

• Taiching Daoist, the Barbarian God, and the Dragon Emperor completed the seal and suppressed two fugitives while the Plane Laws sealed most of the Soul Devouring Beasts.
• Marquis Yu used the Saint-Seizing Land's core treasure to open a temporary passage to the Eternal Heaven Realm, and Gu Chenfeng's Phantom Martial Divine Ruins reacted intensely to it.

• Gu Chenfeng sensed the Time Wheel Space closing and told Marquis Yu they would meet again in ten thousand years.

After the alliance’s victory over the Soul Devouring Beasts, Gu Chenfeng traveled to the Tianxuan Continent to slay the Mother of Nether Consciousness and claim its Saint Level Star Crystal and Essence Blood. After recovering in the Sea God Hall ruins, he found the Essence Blood difficult to refine and decided to return to the Seven Star Continent before entering the Saint-Seizing Land.

• The Seven Star Alliance hunted down the defeated Soul Devouring Beasts, and peace returned to the seven continents.
• Gu Chenfeng entered the Tianxuan Continent and sought out the Mother of Nether Consciousness, whose weakness he had learned in the Time Wheel Space.

Gu Chenfeng gave Yuqing a Saint Level star crystal to restore her strength, then entered the Saint-Seizing Land despite the danger that he might never return.

Gu Chenfeng entered the Saint-Seizing Land and discovered that its rules severely suppressed Law Power, Source Qi, and Divine Sense, while leaving him some advantage as a Body Cultivator.

• Hong Xiong told Gu Chenfeng that Mountain-Slaying City held assessments every three years, but candidates needed recommendations from mine owners with at least three low-grade veins.
• Gu Chenfeng asked where the nearest low-grade vein was so he could obtain a recommendation before the assessment.

After the Hong Family Fort defeated the Blood Fang Stronghold with Gu Chenfeng’s help, Hong Xiong presented him with an assessment token for Mountain-Slaying City.

Gu Chenfeng entered Mountain-Cleaving City's assessment, passed its deadly climbing trial, and discovered the city’s powerful formations and rulers. As the arena matches were about to begin, Ghost Crying General Yin Xiaohe ordered all candidates to remove their disguises, putting Gu Chenfeng’s concealed identity at risk.

• Gu Chenfeng joined nearly a thousand candidates for Mountain-Cleaving City's assessment and learned that the second round would be arena combat overseen by the Ghost Crying General.

• Gu Chenfeng assembled his spear and planned to impress the Sky-Splitting King, but Yin Xiaohe suddenly ordered the candidates to reveal their true faces, forcing him to remove his Silver Mask.

After the Ghost Crying General, Yin Xiaohe, noticed Gu Chenfeng’s exceptional appearance at the assessment, she excused him from the second round and escorted him to meet the Sky-Splitting King. The king summoned Gu Chenfeng and, after he entered the hall, ordered him to raise his head.

• Gu Chenfeng refused, and the Sky-Splitting King sent Yin Xiaohe away, closed the hall doors, and threatened to force him to submit.

Gu Chenfeng avoided a fight with the injured Sky-Splitting King, who ordered him taken to her harem as her chosen Princess Consort. Enticed by her promise of unlimited top-grade blood crystals, he went along willingly and secretly listened as Yin Xiaohe and Tie Shan discussed her injuries and the approaching Chaos Star Assembly.

• Gu Chenfeng prepared to fight the Sky-Splitting King, but noticed her aura falter and realized she was injured.
• The Sky-Splitting King gave Gu Chenfeng more time to consider serving her, then ordered Yin Xiaohe and Tie Shan to take him to her harem.

• After hearing that the crystals would be supplied without limit, Gu Chenfeng agreed to go to the harem and carried the crystals with him.
• As Yin Xiaohe and Tie Shan discussed the Sky-Splitting King's injuries and the Chaos Star Assembly, Gu Chenfeng secretly eavesdropped and planned to use his stay to grow stronger and gather information.

• Yin Xiaohe told Gu Chenfeng that the Chaos Star Assembly would take place in a few months in Ten Thousand Demons City, where the three kings would meet.
• Gu Chenfeng suspected the Yin Gui King would use the assembly to test the Sky-Splitting King's condition, but chose not to reveal his suspicions and continued cultivating.
