Chapter Summaries

Su Changsheng slaughtered the demons opposing his coronation, but Everlasting Heaven’s backlash exposed an ancient restriction against outsiders claiming territory as Yao Emperors. He broke free by secretly using his Black Tortoise Spiritual Root, leaving Yaozhao and the other survivors terrified by what they suspected about his lineage.

Su Changsheng fought Xing, Chen, and Mie, who transformed into a Triangular Pupil and trapped Yin Islet in the Yaoguang Illusion. He shattered the illusion with a vast fire attack and left the creature pinned, but its dying call for the Changsheng Order Lord raised new questions about the Longevity Dao Lord.

• Purple starlight brought Xing, Chen, and Mie to Yin Islet, where they accused Su Changsheng of three crimes and attacked while his Rule Divine Ring was embedded in heaven and earth.
• Su Changsheng struck the three beings apart, discovered their mechanical bodies, and watched them fuse into a Triangular Pupil that could evade his attacks.
• The Triangular Pupil trapped Yin Islet in the Yaoguang Illusion, where Su Changsheng nearly suffered a fatal wound from a vision of a giant and an azure snake inside a Human Tomb.
• The Extreme Yin Divine Son explained that the illusion reproduced a terrifying scene from the Triangular Pupil's memories, and Su Changsheng summoned flames from beyond the illusion to break it.
• Su Changsheng's fire strike shattered the illusion and pinned the Triangular Pupil to Yin Islet, where it called out for the Changsheng Order Lord before nearing annihilation.

Su Changsheng learned that the mechanical eye was a remnant of a system-corrupted Mechanical Demon God from the Science Realm, and that the Yaoguang Star Kingdom sought the Immortal City. After the eye’s stored information transformed his Azure Divine Eye, he gained the Eye of Order and resolved to remain cautious.

• Su Changsheng shattered the triangular pupil’s illusion, and the mechanical eye shut down and dissolved, leaving a small electronic eye.
• The Extreme Yin Divine Son told Su Changsheng that Yaoguang had targeted the Immortal City and that its star lord might be seeking a way to survive or become a Yao Emperor.

• Su Changsheng discovered that the Mechanical Demon God was a higher Yao Emperor who had fled into the Other Shore Sea, and he decided to keep a low profile.
• The eye’s information triggered an evolution in Su Changsheng’s Heaven-Given Organ, changing his Azure Divine Eye into the Eye of Order.

Su Changsheng fused the eye of order with the Rule Divine Ring to create the Heavenly Dao Eye, earning heaven-mending merit that manifested Ice Heaven and transformed his Mythic Torch Jiao body. He used the new eye to purge anomalies from the territory around Yin Islet and declared the region a forbidden zone.

• Su Changsheng used the flame Rule Divine Ring as a link to embed the eye of order in heaven and earth, creating the Heavenly Dao Eye and gaining the power to observe his domain.
• Everlasting Heaven bestowed creation and rules on Su Changsheng as a heaven-mending method and merit, completing his Mythic Torch Jiao body and manifesting Ice Heaven as the second heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
• Su Changsheng’s powers formed a cycle through the Heavenly Dao Eye, reducing their consumption and fueling his body’s transformation.
• Su Changsheng used the Heavenly Dao Eye to unleash the cycles of the seasons and clear anomalies within ten thousand li of Yin Islet, sealing most of them in ice while powerful monsters’ avatars withdrew.
• Su Changsheng declared the territory around Yin Islet a forbidden zone within his domain, warning monsters and other forces not to enter without permission.

Su Changsheng finished consolidating his Yao Emperor power while planning to investigate the Immortal City from a safe distance. Meanwhile, Qingyuan Dao Lord ordered Bai Shan to retrieve a little Demoness from the Immortal City, and the Yaoguang Great Star Lord arrived to seek an audience with Su Changsheng.

• Bai Shan and the Black Mountain Yao King survived Su Changsheng’s icy attack, then Qingyuan Dao Lord possessed the Black Mountain Yao King and ordered Bai Shan to enter the Immortal City and bring her the little Demoness.
• After Qingyuan Dao Lord vanished, the Black Mountain Yao King fled his empty shell in terror, leaving Bai Shan to deal with the shell and the Human-Head Lantern.
• Over the next two or three months, Su Changsheng continued assimilating the Heaven-Mending Art and advancing his Lesser Yin-Yang Art, though it remained at 98 percent.
• Su Changsheng learned that Bai Shan and the Black Mountain Yao King had entered the Immortal City and decided to let others explore it while he continued observing from afar.
• The Yaoguang Great Star Lord arrived in person, and Su Changsheng watched the purple starlight descend with a cold expression.

Su Changsheng confronted Yao Emperor Yaoguang, who came to Yin Islet to challenge him over the death of his subordinates. Su Changsheng destroyed Yaoguang’s projection and consumed its star essence, leaving the powers of the Black Tortoise Realm wary as the old world neared its end.

• Yao Emperor Yaoguang descended over Yin Islet and pressured Su Changsheng, demanding an explanation for his subordinates’ deaths.
• Su Changsheng unleashed his power and forced Yaoguang’s starlight back, then transformed into a Torch Jiao and swallowed it to refine star essence.
• Yaoguang summoned his Yao Emperor Dao and attacked with a web of stars, but Su Changsheng shattered it with a single blow.
• Using the Heavenly Dao Eye to expose flaws in Yaoguang’s Dao heritage, Su Changsheng destroyed the projection without answering Yaoguang’s question about the eye.
• Scouts and powerful beings across the Black Tortoise Realm marveled at Su Changsheng’s victory, reconsidered plotting against him, and discussed the approaching end of their world.

Su Changsheng announced that he would preach the Dao to demons across his domain, hoping to gain Mythology Points and build a network of believers. When the Southern Yao Grottoes obstructed lower-ranking demons from attending, he attacked them, killed Nan Jing, and destroyed the Blood Spring; his assault on the Southern Seven Grottoes had only begun.

• Su Changsheng announced a Dao lecture on the Yin Islet and invited demons throughout his domain to attend.
• Ten days later, Su Changsheng found that few demons had arrived because powerful factions had blocked their subordinates, and he declared that the obstructors need never come again.
• At the Blood Spring, Nan Jing drank its blood and openly disparaged Su Changsheng, then invoked Zishen Power when Su Changsheng attacked.
• Su Changsheng destroyed Nan Jing's body, captured his contaminated divine soul, and killed him after declaring that he would destroy the Southern Yao Grotto.
• Su Changsheng obliterated the Blood Spring with a meteor of heavenly fire, leaving the destruction of the Southern Seven Grottoes unfinished.

Su Changsheng destroyed Fallen Dragon Ridge’s southern Yao Grottoes and led a rebellion that stripped the ridge of its surrounding territories. When twenty Extreme Realm Cultivators confronted him at Angsu Yao Grotto and demanded he stop, he refused and threatened to kill them.

• Su Changsheng exposed the southern Yao Grottoes’ blood sacrifices, killed nearly a hundred powerful demons, and destroyed the Ghost Lodge Lineage, wiping out the southern region’s seven Yao Grottoes.
• Su Changsheng postponed his teachings and attacked Fallen Dragon Ridge’s subordinate Yao Strongholds, exposing their crimes and inspiring lower-ranking demons to rebel.
• The rebellious demonic tide captured the surrounding strongholds, floating islands, and Yao Grottoes, leaving Fallen Dragon Ridge isolated as other powers debated intervention.
• The Seven Great Star Lord Kingdoms, the Twelve Lineages of the Twelfth District, and the Extreme Yin Extreme Yang Yao Court sent twenty Extreme Realm Cultivators to intercept Su Changsheng near Angsu Yao Grotto.
• The Cat Woman urged Su Changsheng to stop his campaign and preserve stability, but he dismissed her plea and warned the group that none of them would leave if they challenged his claim to Fallen Dragon Ridge.

Su Changsheng defeated the forces that had gathered to kill him when the Azure Yao Emperor’s power destroyed the Mechanical Demon God’s hidden ascenders and its influence in the Yaoguang Star Lord’s Kingdom. After taking control of Fallen Dragon Ridge, Su Changsheng uncovered records linking the Changsheng Momentum to a search for the Longevity Dao Lord, who the records warned was not human.

• A yao wielding a Mechanical Demon God creation threatened Su Changsheng, then fled when he recognized the artifact and warned of the Azure Yao Emperor’s past victory over the demon god.
• Su Changsheng’s Azure Battle Blood and related remnants erupted from his body, summoning the Azure Yao Emperor’s projection, which destroyed the Mechanical Ascenders and unleashed azure fire across the Yaoguang Star Lord’s Kingdom.
• Cat Woman realized that many of the Extreme Realm Cultivators had secretly undergone mechanical ascension, while the surviving attackers abandoned their plans to fight Su Changsheng.
• Su Changsheng bound Cat Woman and the other Extreme Realm Cultivators on Yin Islet and took control of Fallen Dragon Ridge, leaving only the grottoes that had submitted to him intact.
• While investigating Fallen Dragon Ridge’s records, Su Changsheng learned that the Changsheng Momentum had been designed to seek the Longevity Dao Lord and found a record declaring that the Longevity Dao Lord was not human.

Su Changsheng discovered that the Azure Yao Emperor’s records warned that Changsheng could be a form of contamination that assimilated those who investigated the Longevity Dao Lord. To protect his identity and soul, he destroyed the records, cut away part of his soul, and engraved defensive restrictions before returning to cultivation.

• Su Changsheng read the Azure Yao Emperor’s experiments, which recorded the Qilin Yao Emperor’s assimilation in the Gray Wall and a failed summoning involving mechanical order, Changsheng spiritual light, and the Azure bloodline.
• Su Changsheng found the Azure Yao Emperor’s final warning that Changsheng was poison and realized that his growing belief that he was the Longevity Dao Lord might be contamination.
• Su Changsheng burned the manuscripts, cut memories of being the Longevity Dao Lord from his soul, and set a restriction that would shatter part of his soul if the thought returned.
• Su Changsheng engraved defensive rules throughout his soul, shrinking it by a third while strengthening it and gaining a preliminary defense against contamination.
• Su Changsheng planned to spread his Demon Arts and use Demon Race members as stabilizing anchors, then set aside his worries and resumed cultivating.

Su Changsheng continued cultivating while avoiding the Immortal City, weighing the hidden identities and schemes surrounding it and seeking a way to escape to other worlds. At the broken Heavenly Pillar, a sword-winged man attacked a wave of mechanical Witch Blood nanobugs and revealed himself as the long-vanished Azure Yao Emperor, whose identity was entangled with Longevity Dao Lord and Azure Fate.

• Su Changsheng calculated that his lifespan was rapidly shrinking and chose to stall the ancient Yao Emperors and ignore invitations to the Immortal City while he grew stronger.
• Through Black Mountain Yao King and Old Tortoise White Mountain, Su Changsheng gathered clues about the Immortal City and suspected Azure Fate was trying to lure him inside.
• Su Changsheng sent Great Yao Bai Ling and Green Mountain Yao King back to the Immortal City, while wondering whether Zhou Hu King's human body or White Madam remained hidden nearby.
• Su Changsheng considered using the Eye of Order to find a route through the Other Shore Sea to other worlds if he needed to flee.
• At the broken Heavenly Pillar, a sword-winged man froze and expelled mechanical Witch Blood nanobugs, then struck the opening with overwhelming Sword Qi.
• The man devoured the nanobugs and demanded that Black Tortoise die, while the tortoise questioned why he had not escaped the poison of longevity and regained his senses, calling him Longevity Dao Lord, Azure Yao Emperor, and Azure Fate.

The Azure Yao Emperor accused the Black Tortoise Heavenly Yao of causing the world’s contamination and trapping him, while the tortoise denied responsibility for Phoenix and Qilin’s disappearance. Su Changsheng weighed the dangerous powers within himself, assessed his growing forces and plans to survive the world’s destruction, then asked the Extreme Yin Divine Son which Heavenly River faction held the most materials.

• The Azure Yao Emperor claimed the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities Method and the Heaven’s Rift disasters came from the Black Tortoise Heavenly Yao’s attempt to pursue longevity, and blamed him for Phoenix and Qilin becoming trapped in the Gray Wall.
• The Black Tortoise Heavenly Yao said he had been dead for thirty thousand years, had broken the Heavenly Pillar to delay the world’s death, and had imprisoned the Azure Yao Emperor to stop him from causing further destruction.
• The Azure Yao Emperor revealed an azure flame and insisted that the poison of longevity had not fully overcome him, leaving the Black Tortoise Heavenly Yao uncertain whether the Longevity Dao Lord was real or contamination.
• Su Changsheng considered how the Azure Yao Emperor, Black Tortoise Heavenly Yao, and Torch Dragon Dao powers contended within him, and decided to preserve their balance rather than purge them.
• Su Changsheng reviewed his 89 Mythology Points, the spread of his three arts, and the stabilizing effect of the yao he had recruited, then considered finding another world or developing the Thirty-Three Heavens as ways to survive the coming destruction.
• Su Changsheng asked the Extreme Yin Divine Son which faction in the middle and deep reaches of the Heavenly River had the largest stockpile of materials.

The Fire Emperor and the Second Emperor of the Black Serpent Kingdom discussed how to capture the Heavenly Calamity Yao Emperor, while Yaozhao argued that his powers and spiritual root made him a dangerous threat. The Fire Emperor gathered the Zi God and the surviving Great Star Lord Yaoguang to join the two emperors, setting the Four Emperor Blood Formation in motion against Su Changsheng.

• The Second Emperor confronted the Fire Emperor about their failed plot against the Heavenly Calamity Yao Emperor and questioned whether their alliance could withstand him.
• Yaozhao presented a plan to counter the Heavenly Calamity Yao Emperor’s suspected Azure Spiritual Root and calamity flame, but the Second Emperor doubted that he possessed the legendary foundation.
• The Fire Emperor claimed the Heavenly Calamity Yao Emperor was an Evil Fiend from beyond the heavens and warned that the world’s coming destruction made sacrificing him to the Ultimate necessary.
• The Fire Emperor revealed the Zi God and the uncanny, surviving Great Star Lord Yaoguang as allies.
• The Fire Emperor declared that the four emperors would use the Four Emperor Blood Formation to defeat the Heavenly Calamity Yao Emperor.

Su Changsheng used the First Divine Son’s revolt to ambush and defeat the Fire Emperor, then absorbed his Yao Emperor Pill and three Flame Rules. After months of cultivation, Su Changsheng completed his second Six Calamities Power as the world’s destruction worsened.

• The Fire Emperor killed the First Divine Son’s Fox Woman and replaced him with the Second Divine Son, driving the First Divine Son to transform into a monstrous serpent and slaughter demons in the court hall.
• The First Divine Son revealed that he had been buying time, and Su Changsheng’s enormous Projection arrived to trap the Fire Emperor in a sealed formation.
• Su Changsheng broke through the Fire Emperor’s Yao Body, devoured his Heart Sea and Yao Emperor Pill, and fled back to his own Yao Emperor Kingdom before the other emperors could catch him.
• Su Changsheng spent three to five months digesting the Fire Emperor and assimilating his Flame Rules as the Heavenly River began drying up and signs of the world’s destruction intensified.
• Su Changsheng completed Drought Calamity Destroys the World, his second Six Calamities Power, scorching a Floating Island and evaporating its nearly dry Heavenly River tributary.

Su Changsheng returned to Yin Islet after comprehending a second Six Calamities rule and learned that the world’s collapse was accelerating as the Other Shore Sea contaminated the Twelfth District. He recognized that several ancient divinities were transforming into humans to survive the apocalypse, then summoned the Ancient Yao Emperors to negotiate, relying on his own strength to bargain.

• Su Changsheng comprehended Drought Calamity Destroys the World, strengthened his power, and planned to finish digesting the two Human Tombs for their secrets and Mythology Points.
• After Su Changsheng returned to Yin Islet, he learned that the Fire Emperor’s death had ended the Four Emperors Alliance and sent several powerful rulers into hiding.
• The Extreme Yin Divine Son showed Su Changsheng how the Other Shore Sea was contaminating the Twelfth District’s divine kingdoms and warned that shelter passage quotas had to be decided.
• Su Changsheng saw that four divinities were drawing in the Other Shore Sea’s power and transforming into human forms, leading him to suspect that ancient Yao Emperors were betraying the world to escape its destruction.
• Su Changsheng ordered the Extreme Yin Divine Son to summon the Ancient Yao Emperors, then prepared to negotiate while concealing the full extent of his strength.

Su Changsheng confronted eight Ancient Emperors and their followers, using force to silence accusations over the Yaoguang Star Kingdom and the Fourth District. He then established the Three Reincarnation Daos within the Thirty-Three Heavens and declared himself the Lord of Reincarnation.

• Eight Ancient Emperors and dozens of powerful demons arrived at Yin Islet, and the Extreme Yin Divine Son identified several of their leaders for Su Changsheng.
• Su Changsheng challenged the visitors, but the Heavenly Quan Star Lord accused him of causing the Yaoguang Star Kingdom's destruction and destabilizing the Twelfth District.
• When another Yao Emperor demanded an accounting, Su Changsheng pierced its true body from afar with a spear guided by the Heavenly Dao Eye.
• Su Changsheng warned the assembled emperors against provoking him, and the Heavenly Quan Star Lord fell silent.
• Su Changsheng summoned a Heavenly Throne and proclaimed the establishment of the Netherworld, Divine Dao, and Yao Dao as the Three Reincarnation Daos.
• Su Changsheng vowed to give living beings a chance at reincarnation within the Thirty-Three Heavens and declared himself the Lord of Reincarnation.

Su Changsheng established the Three Reincarnation Daos in his domain by sacrificing the Eye of Order, then proclaimed himself the Lord of Reincarnation and strengthened his small world. After breaking open the cores of two Human Tombs, he discovered that they contained a living human world, leaving him to question who was truly being kept like livestock.

• Su Changsheng established the Three Reincarnation Daos, drawing the attention of the Eight Emperors and powerful beings across the world.
• Su Changsheng sat on the Heavenly Throne and named himself the Supreme Godless, Wondrously Manifest, Natural Venerable of Reincarnation.
• The demons in Su Changsheng's domain found their rules stabilized, while the Eight Emperors departed and some promised to revise the Supreme Yao Court's recruitment terms.
• Su Changsheng revealed that he had sacrificed the Eye of Order to Everlasting Heaven in exchange for permission to establish his Dao and draw on the realm's power.
• Su Changsheng used the Divine Spirit Golden Body and the Three Reincarnation Daos to shatter the cores of the two Human Tombs.
• A living human world appeared within the tombs, and Su Changsheng recalled its inhabitants' words about crossing the Gray Wall and destroying the land.

Su Changsheng opened a Human Tomb core and found a gate leading into the Gray Mist World, where the Yao Demon Sect's Number One sought power from the being beyond it. As Number One began mutating, Su Changsheng realized the apparent exchange might be a contamination effect and questioned whether this was truly the Human World.

• Su Changsheng was nearly Humanized by the Human Race thoughts and gray matter from Xuan Lord's Human Tomb core, but isolated and expelled the contamination.
• The remaining thoughts vanished, revealing a blood-red gate that Su Changsheng identified as connected to the Gray Wall, and he sent a heavily protected wisp of spirit through its crack.
• In the Phoenix Realm, Yao Demon Sect members complained that the Changsheng Immortal Palace had destroyed their bases and hunted them down, while Number Four challenged Number One at their assembly.
• Number One ordered the sect to withdraw from the Changsheng Immortal Palace's territory and left the question of two vacant Great Yao seats to the others.
• Number One privately contacted a blood-red portal and offered to establish a sect for the being beyond it, then became contaminated and began transforming into a demon.
• Su Changsheng watched Number One's apparent response to his power and wondered whether human thoughts could be contaminated in return, suspecting that the world was not truly the Human World.

Su Changsheng sent a wisp of consciousness through the blood-red gateway and discovered that contact with the gray world contaminated both its human inhabitants and Demon Race minds. After sealing the gateway, he suspected it was connected to the missing Phoenix Yao Emperor and questioned whether the so-called human thoughts might actually be living people.

• Su Changsheng's wisp entered the gray world, where its presence contaminated Number One and transformed him into a powerful serpent-like aberration.
• Number One glimpsed Su Changsheng's true form, began to lose control, and was saved from further corruption by a hexagram pattern before the deity and gateway vanished from his sight.
• Su Changsheng observed human thoughts breeding within the Demon Race consciousnesses around his wisp, then destroyed the wisp and carefully checked himself and the other demons for contamination.
• Su Changsheng examined the gateway's claw marks and inferred that its enormous flaming Bird Yao claw, and the gray world beyond it, might be connected to the missing Phoenix Yao Emperor.
• Su Changsheng sealed the gateway with three reincarnation Daos and wondered whether human thoughts were actually living people, leaving the nature of the gray world and its inhabitants unresolved.
