Yang Jian killed Lin Xiaotian, a wild-system host who challenged the Divine Court, then followed Xiaotian Dog’s nose to find another system holder in the mountains. He confronted Li Xuanji, who revealed a gift pack earned through three thousand years of sign-ins, as Xiaotian Dog said it smelled delicious.

• The dark plunderers’ army arrived, and Gu Changqing sent Yang Jian to target their leader as the monsters spread across the Firmament Realm.

Their purge continued as Yin Jiao killed a Blood Demon Sect remnant and Daji destroyed a woman whose system rewarded her for collecting male pets.

• Gu Changqing forcibly extracted the remaining system cores from all eighty-three captives and called them a tonic for his system.

Gu Changqing smelted eighty-three wild system cores in the System Furnace, leveled up the Ten Thousand Worlds Incense Offerings System, and discovered it could extract powerful treasures from restricted zones in other universes. With 3.2 billion incense offerings points available, he summoned his six disciples to reward them.

• Gu Changqing ordered the extraction despite the warning that it would alert Kaluosi and trigger a cross-realm hunt by the Main God Alliance.

Gu Changqing learned that the Main God Alliance would target him after he devoured Kaluosi’s systems and took the Five Elements Origin Stone. The Alliance sent Jin Wuji, Yin Canghai, and Tong Shanhe to The Firmament Realm to capture him.

• Gu Changqing gave Kong Xuan the Five Elements Origin Stone, then told Kaluosi that he had devoured the systems and stolen the stone.

• Jin Wuji’s system located The Firmament Realm, and the three hosts teleported there.

Jin Wuji and two Main God Alliance elders invaded The Firmament Realm with 1.23 billion mechanical insects, which began devouring entire star domains. Gu Changqing learned of the invasion and sent his forces to defend the Tianyuan Star Domain as he prepared to confront the elders.

• Jin Wuji, Yin Canghai, and Tong Shanhe emerged from a void rift and discovered that more than thirteen hundred wild systems had gone silent.
• Jin Wuji's system located Gu Changqing at the Supreme Temple, and Jin Wuji unleashed hundreds of millions of mechanical insects to devour The Firmament Realm.

• Gu Changqing ordered Yin Jiao to deploy Great Shang's heavenly soldiers and the Human Emperor Defensive Grand Formation to keep the insects out of the Tianyuan Star Domain.
• Gu Changqing told Daji to gather the City Management Brigade and bring the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Jar, then took Yang Jian, Nezha, Kong Xuan, and Tongtian to meet the Main God Alliance's elders.

Yin Jiao and thirty million Heavenly Soldiers raised a barrier to defend the Tianyuan Star Domain, while Daji used the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Jar to consume the Mechanical Insect Race and strengthen the City Management Brigade. After Jin Wuji and his allies shattered the barrier, Yin Jiao refused to retreat, and an unknown voice intervened to defend him.

• Yin Jiao summoned thirty million Heavenly Soldiers and formed the Human Emperor Defensive Grand Formation across the Tianyuan Star Domain’s border.
• Daji led the City Management Brigade in devouring the insects with the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Jar, helping its members break through and deploying jar phantoms across the star domains.

• Jin Wuji, Yin Canghai, and Tong Shanhe attacked together and shattered the formation, leaving Yin Jiao injured.
• Yin Jiao refused Wen Zhong’s plea to retreat and challenged the three invaders before a distant voice asked whether they had sought its permission to bully his disciple.

Gu Changqing arrived at the Tianyuan Star Domain, where Yang Jian, Nezha, Kong Xuan, and Tongtian fought the three Main God Alliance Elders while Gu Changqing dealt with the Zerg. After refining the remaining Zerg and unlocking mass production in the System Workshop, he turned back to check on the ongoing battle with Jin Wuji.

• Yang Jian began fighting Jin Wuji, while Gu Changqing went to check on the injured Yin Jiao and assured him the others could handle their opponents.
• Gu Changqing used the System Furnace to refine 300 million Zerg at the Tianyuan Star Domain, gaining 30 million units of mechanical core energy.
• Gu Changqing then refined the 600 million Zerg remaining in the Holy Light Star Domain, allowing Daji and the City Management Brigade to rest and earning another 120 million units of mechanical core energy.
• The System Workshop unlocked mass production of mechanical constructs, including the option to build a Dyson Sphere, and Gu Changqing decided to inspect Yang Jian's battle with Jin Wuji.

Yang Jian defeated Jin Wuji by sealing his God-Slaying Demon Blade and killing him with the Five Elements Fist, then extracted his System Core. He turned toward Nezha’s fight with Yin Canghai.

• Jin Wuji summoned the God-Slaying Demon Blade and attacked Yang Jian with a blood-red dragon of blade light.

• Yang Jian bound Jin Wuji’s demon blade with the God-Demon Sealing Method, and Jin Wuji’s system could not break the seal because he lacked enough points.
• Yang Jian transformed into a golden giant and killed Jin Wuji with his Five Elements Fist.
• Yang Jian pulled Jin Wuji’s System Core from his body as Jin Wuji crumbled into ash, then looked toward Nezha’s battle with Yin Canghai.

• Yin Canghai used his Karma Thread against Nezha, but Nezha stepped outside the karma river with the Self-Manifestation Technique and killed him with his Fire-Tipped Spear.
• Nezha took Yin Canghai's System Core and saw that Tongtian was overwhelming Tong Shanhe with the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords.
• Tong Shanhe's system could not afford the points needed to break the sword formation, and Tongtian killed him and claimed his System Core.
• Yang Jian and Nezha joined Tongtian before Gu Changqing, who received all three System Cores and praised them.
• A white-haired old man in golden robes emerged from a void rift with middle-stage Sacrificial Dao Realm power and accused Gu Changqing of killing his three subordinates.

Gu Changqing let Nezha fight Bai Wuyá, the Main God Alliance's deputy leader, and guided him through the elder's lethal Karma Law Weapon and defenses. Nezha killed Bai Wuyá and recovered his System Core for Gu Changqing.

• Bai Wuyá confronted Gu Changqing over the deaths of Jin Wuji and the others, then trapped Nezha with a Karma Thread that could erase his existence across space and time.
• Nezha used the Self-Manifestation Technique, which Gu Changqing had taught him, to evade the Karma Thread's first attack.
• Following Gu Changqing's advice, Nezha used the Heaven-Opening power in his Fire-Tipped Spear to break the threads, then attacked Bai Wuyá's Space-Time Barrier with Samadhi True Fire.
• Bai Wuyá used a Resurrection Talisman to recover from Nezha's flames and launched his ultimate Karma Law Weapon, but Nezha's Star Battle Armor deflected it.
• Nezha pierced Bai Wuyá's forehead with his spear, killing him after the system's attempted resurrection failed, and took his System Core to Gu Changqing.
