Su Changsheng resolved to avenge Flower Fairy and set out with Plain-Clothed Fairy and Hua'er to confront the four half-step Yao Emperors. After learning about the Black Sea and the possibility that the Wilds itself was dying, he reached the Purple Lightning Yao Emperor's territory and launched a sudden attack.

• Su Changsheng promised Hua'er he would protect her and Plain-Clothed Fairy as they went to kill the yao who had destroyed the Human Grotto.

• Su Changsheng gathered his Divine Abilities and invested all 30 Essence Points into his lifespan, raising it from 999 to 1002 years.
• The lifespan blessing and Mythical Body helped Su Changsheng form a four-element foundation, evolve his Divine Abilities, and awaken a new Major Divine Ability.

Su Changsheng created the major divine ability World-Opening and used it to destroy the Purple Lightning Yao Emperor, then drove the Blood Grotto into the Abyssal Domain. Though demons across the Eastern Floating Domain hailed him as the Azure Yao Emperor, he remained in the Kun Internal World and decided to revisit the forbidden zone where his rise and Green-Clothed’s death began.

• After reaching a thousand-year lifespan, Su Changsheng fused six lesser divine abilities into the major divine ability World-Opening and drew the four fundamental elements from across a thousand li.

When the little Demoness revealed a vision linking Manman and Fatty Huang to Flower Fairy’s disappearance, Su Changsheng prepared to enter the Yao Emperor Tomb’s forbidden zone and resolve the mysteries surrounding his power.

• Su Changsheng cultivated in seclusion for months, comprehended World-Opening, and continued refining the Purple Lightning Yao Emperor Yao Heart with the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
• The Human Grotto regained territory under Su Changsheng’s protection, while demons across the Floating Domain praised him and sought refuge in the Southern Region.
• Su Changsheng asked Plain-Clothed Fairy whether the Human Grotto had found Fatty Huang and Manman, but she reported no trace of them in Kunxu.
• The little Demoness described a vision in which a huge demon pursued her and Manman and Fatty Huang carried her to a gloomy place, suggesting they had been involved in Flower Fairy’s fate.
• Plain-Clothed Fairy realized that part of Flower Fairy’s soul might still remain in the forbidden zone, and Su Changsheng decided to go there to find her and settle the matter.

Su Changsheng entered the transformed Yao Emperor Tomb Ground and followed Fatty Huang’s scent through a vast Blood Spring to a ruined city and palace. After discovering a mural linked to the Black Tortoise Heavenly Yao and the Heavenly Pillar, he resisted a mysterious voice’s attempt to lure him into the palace, but the Azure Snake Core plunged inside.

• Su Changsheng found the Yao Emperor Tomb Ground shrouded in black yin winds and bloody rain, and the Plain-Clothed Fairy explained that its transformation had baffled the demon courts and other investigators.
• Su Changsheng traced a sound of flowing water to a Blood Spring where the rear entrance had been, then followed Fatty Huang’s lingering scent through its enormous interior for more than ten days.
• Su Changsheng reached ruined structures and saw a mural depicting a gigantic black creature crashing into a pillar, a scene he had previously witnessed when he drew down Black Blood through the Mirage Art.
• Su Changsheng entered the ruins as the blood receded, revealing a vast palace whose mural showed a Black Tortoise and what appeared to be the Heavenly Pillar; he wondered whether the ruins were connected to Zhuyin Academy.
• Su Changsheng tried to leave after divining that fortune and misfortune were uncertain, but a hollow voice from the palace called for him to come closer, and the Azure Snake Core plunged through the doors.
• Su Changsheng realized the Way of the Bizarre had drawn him toward the palace entrance without his awareness.

Su Changsheng entered the great hall through the mural’s Ascension Gate after a dark presence in the blood spring prevented him from leaving the ruins. He found Manman gravely injured, spent nearly half a year healing him, and was reunited with him when he awoke.

• Su Changsheng tried to leave the ruins, but a terrifying presence in the blood spring forced him back toward the palace.
• Su Changsheng used the Azure Snake Core and his key to open the mural’s Ascension Gate and enter the great hall.
• Su Changsheng explored the palace, saw six statues leap into an abyss and burn to ash, and found Manman unconscious and badly injured.
• Su Changsheng stayed in the palace for nearly half a year, healing Manman, exploring its strange regions, and searching unsuccessfully for Flower Fairy and Fatty Huang.
• Manman awoke, recognized Su Changsheng by his familiar head-smack, and tearfully complained that he had been alone for thirteen years.

Su Changsheng reunited with the petrified Flower Fairy and Manman, learned that their condition came from the Black Sea, and prepared to follow Fatty Huang’s trail. While waiting for a coffin chain to break, he advanced his third Major Divine Ability and left the story able to swallow the Black Sea’s deadly water.

• Manman told Su Changsheng how Fatty Huang had led him and Flower Fairy into the great hall, where an eerie attack caused their petrification.
• Su Changsheng found Flower Fairy sealed in a bronze coffin on the hall’s second floor and heard her explain the orthodox three-Major-Divine-Ability path to the Great Yao King Realm.
• Su Changsheng and Flower Fairy concluded that the Black Sea’s influence caused their petrification, with Half-Demons like Su Changsheng less affected.
• Su Changsheng sensed Fatty Huang’s scent beneath the black water and decided to bring Flower Fairy’s coffin along, but first worked to break its chains and strengthen his cultivation.
• Three months later, after the Purple Lightning Yao Emperor’s heart broke open, Su Changsheng used the released power to advance his Heaven and Earth Furnace into the Major Divine Ability Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth, swallowing the black water.

Su Changsheng replaced his Azure Battle Blood with the mythical Torch Snake bloodline by forging his Heart Sea with his three Major Divine Abilities. After awakening to the bloodline’s power and its connection to the Torch Dragon God, he opened his eyes to find Manman and Flower Fairy staring in terror at his enormous snake form.

• Su Changsheng used Heaven and Earth Manifestation, World-Opening, and Swallow Heaven and Devour Earth to reshape his Heart Sea and accelerate the collapse of Azure Battle Blood.
• The Azure Snake Core left Su Changsheng’s Sea of Consciousness and flew into Flower Fairy’s hands, while the unsupported Azure Battle Blood began to retreat.
• Su Changsheng’s Azure Battle Blood shattered, and a new bloodline appeared: Mythical Torch Snake, a distant descendant of the Netherworld Lord, the Torch Dragon God.
• Su Changsheng discovered that his new bloodline strengthened his three Major Divine Abilities, hastened his fifth skin shedding, and greatly improved his physical foundations.
• Su Changsheng opened his eyes and saw Manman and Flower Fairy staring in terror at the enormous snake behind him.

Su Changsheng discovered the Torch Dragon-tainted serpent skeleton and the mysterious figure in the Bronze Coffin before escaping the Forbidden Zone, while Flower Fairy stayed behind. He punched open the Heavenly Gate, returned to the Wilds, and set out for Black Mountain Demon Stockade to settle his remaining karma.

• Su Changsheng realized the giant serpent skeleton had been corrupted by the lingering power of a being connected to the Torch Dragon God and wondered whether the Heavenly River led to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
• Su Changsheng, Manman, and Flower Fairy found a Bronze Coffin containing a towering armored figure resembling Fatty Huang, then opened an exit by following the coffin's instructions.
• Flower Fairy revealed that she could not leave because much of her body had petrified, and Manman turned back to stay with her as Su Changsheng left the Forbidden Zone.
• Su Changsheng learned that Flower Fairy practiced the Tianrong Art, also known as the Green-Clothed Scripture, and concluded that their connection had ended with the Azure Battle Blood.
• In the thirty-fourth year, Su Changsheng punched open the Heavenly Gate and returned from the Floating Domain to the Wilds.
• Su Changsheng headed for Black Mountain Demon Stockade to settle his remaining karma.

Su Changsheng returned to the Wilds and discovered that Heaven's Rift had transformed the world into a chaotic, deadly Mythic Era. After reaching Yin Islet and learning about the dangers and opportunities there, he encountered an uncanny trap in the market and realized he could no longer trust what he saw.

• Su Changsheng returned from Kun's body with Kun's Mark and saw the Wilds warped by Heaven's Rift, Black Sea rivers, and maddened rules.
• Su Changsheng learned that Yin Mountain was governed by the Yin Palace and that Zhuyin Academy lay nearby, then decided to remain on Yin Islet while gathering information and considering his next move.
• At the Yao Market, a horse-faced Great Yao explained that demons were advancing by hunting uncanny beings and offered Su Changsheng Nine-Headed Snake Source Essence.
• Su Changsheng refused the offer and later saw that the horse-faced demon had vanished, leaving behind a Nine-Headed Snake sculpture that other demons seemed unable to perceive.
• Su Changsheng realized the market might conceal uncanny illusions and questioned what around him was real.

Su Changsheng navigated the madness and anomalies of Yin Islet, then bought an ancient Mythic Bestiary that awakened a Torch Dragon Dao Lineage within him. He realized his Torch Snake bloodline was drawing Torch Dragon-related momentum toward him, which could bring great power as well as danger.

• Su Changsheng left his residence while sealing himself off from the outside world and ignored the Long-Tongued Woman that followed him with warnings about the Lantern God.

• Su Changsheng realized his bloodline was drawing Torch Dragon-related momentum toward him and considered using it to incorporate the Torch Dragon Dao Lineage into himself.

When he went to the Yao Market to investigate the uncanny Nine-Headed Snake, he discovered that the Yin Palace had sealed Yin Island to contain the Lantern God's curse.

• Su Changsheng studied the Mythic Bestiary and learned that advancing along the Torch Dragon path required the Transforming into a Flood Dragon art, Nine-Headed Snake Source Essence, and Black Tortoise Yao Blood.
• After practicing secret-method runes, Su Changsheng completed an Evil-Repelling Talisman and saw that his Golden Finger had become the Mythic Survival System, which accumulated mythic points.
• Su Changsheng spent his mythic points on the Black Tortoise Body-Tempering Art, awakening its Fourth Palace and strengthening his body and resistance to the Black Sea's erosion.

• Su Changsheng reached the Yao Market and learned that the Lantern God's curse had descended on Yin Island and that the Yin Palace had sealed the island, allowing demons in but preventing them from leaving.

• Huolie exposed himself as Xuan Lord and explained that Yin Palace had tracked Su Changsheng through scrolls infused with the Changsheng momentum.
• Xuan Lord summoned Yin Palace's Flying Shuttle and Yin City Human Tomb, which formed a karmic curse intended to drag Su Changsheng into the eighteen levels of hell.

Su Changsheng confronted Yin Palace through a spatial gateway as the demons tried to stop him and offered to surrender Xuan Lord. After Wu Nü rejected his demand, Su Changsheng spent his Mythology Points to break through to the one-hundred-percent Extreme Dao Realm, leaving the gateway on the verge of a battle.
