The mansion’s spirit recognized Chen Zheng as its ancestral master and revealed that the little demoness was the great figure the mansion belonged to, then began restoring her power.

• The Ancient Heavenly Demon Clan patriarch and other Dao Ancestors watched the sealed immortal mansion, expecting Chen Zheng to be killed and planning to target the Spirit Rhino Clan afterward.

• Dust Woman opened her eyes, looked at Chen Zheng, and called him “Teacher,” then closed her eyes and reverted to the little demoness.

Chen Zheng helped the little demoness begin recovering the memories of her first life, then sent the repaired Mortal Dust Immortal Abode away from Taishi Ancient Land with Ning'er and Shi. He returned to Heaven-Pacifying Mountain after warning the Ancient Heavenly Demon Clan that he would await its revived powerhouse.

• Chen Zheng explained that the little demoness had sealed herself away while accepting her first life's memories, and Little Tuntun swallowed the gods and devils.

• Chen Zheng looked toward the figure in the sinkhole and asked whether it was worthy of his bow.

The clans watched as Taishi Heaven emerged as a white-robed girl and confronted Chen Zheng. She recognized him despite his weakened cultivation and greeted him as Big Brother Yi, leaving everyone stunned.

• Feng Shen urged the mechanical puppet to awaken Taishi Heaven and suppress Chen Zheng.
• The puppet appealed to its master, and the immortal light vanished to reveal a young white-robed girl.
• The clans bowed to the girl, while Feng Shen and the puppet accused Chen Zheng of refusing to bow.

• The man in blue revealed a heaven-suppressing artifact and prepared to suppress Chen Zheng and the white-robed youth, alarming Ancient Sage Lixiao, the Spirit Rhino Clan elders, Yan Sheng, and Old Ancestor Guli.
• Yan Wu told Yan Chijia that the artifact could erase heavenly might and suppress the Heavenly Dao, while Yan Chijia worried that Chen Zheng might not withstand it.
• The man in blue explained that he had obtained the artifact beyond the domain and argued that fallen Heavens were no different from ordinary beings trapped in the world’s cage.
• Feng Shen praised the man in blue’s argument and encouraged the Ancient Heavenly Demon Clan, Ancient Three-Eyed Clan, and Combat Saint Clan to stop fearing Heavens whose realms had fallen.
• Chen Zheng told the man in blue to suppress him directly, and the man in blue engulfed him with the heaven-suppressing artifact.
• The artifact shattered around Chen Zheng, and a voice remarked, “Ancestor Chen is somewhat disappointed.”

Chen Zheng restored the Heaven-Suppressing Dharma Artifact and used it to capture Feng Wusheng, then explained that the artifact was an imitation of something made in one of his past lives. Feng Wusheng remained trapped as Chen Zheng revealed the secret behind the artifact.

• The white-robed youth asked Chen Zheng to return his Heaven Bone and offered to serve him, while warning that a powerful enemy was coming to capture him.
• A mysterious figure that looked like a female stone person pierced Taishi Ancient Land's restrictions and descended from the sky.

A female stone puppet and a mysterious blue-robed woman descended into Taishi Ancient Land and fought with Epoch Hegemon-level power, shattering the sky and devastating the land. Chen Zheng blocked the stone puppet as she pursued the white-robed youth, while the blue-robed woman teleported the ancient clansmen to safety.

Chen Zheng stopped the female stone puppet’s attack, and she revealed that her master awaited him in the Primordial Ruins before departing. Yan Hong then introduced herself as Qin Yi’s disciple, while Yan Wu revealed that the stone puppet was named A Li and served Yan Wu’s master, the lord of the Primordial Ruins.

• Yan Wu told Yan Chijia that her master ruled the Primordial Ruins and that the female stone puppet, A Li, was her senior sister.

Yan Hong brought Chen Zheng a jade disc containing the complete Great Samsara Network, which transformed the Dao Diagram World and overwhelmed nearly everyone who saw it. After Yanluo and Tianjiao revealed their Transcendence Physiques, the network manifested as a woman who attacked Chen Zheng, but the Cosmic Cantilever made her retreat and vanish.

• Yan Hong presented Chen Zheng with a jade disc that resembled the Jade Disc of Creation, and he brought everyone into the Dao Diagram World to examine it.
• The jade disc revealed the complete Great Samsara Network, causing most of the women and Tianjiao's big goose to faint from witnessing it.
• The network sent two beams into the Purple Emperor Sacred Hall, and Yanluo and Tianjiao emerged with eyes of nothingness that reflected the network.
• Creation Little Doll and Yan Hong struggled to imprint or endure the network before fainting, while Yanluo and Tianjiao also eventually collapsed, leaving Chen Zheng alone.
• The complete network became a woman who accused Chen Zheng of being a thief and attacked him, but the Cosmic Cantilever appeared and made her withdraw and disappear.

Chen Zheng learned that beings had escaped multiple layers of Great Samsara and negotiated with the white-robed youth for the return of his Heaven Bone. He revealed he had another path to transcendence, leaving the youth stunned and his bargain apparently pointless.

• Chen Zheng concluded that Qin Yi was likely a being from beyond the cosmos and that escaping the nine layers of Great Samsara was the true ultimate end.
• Yan Hong told Chen Zheng that her master had taken Yanran to a mysterious place and then departed from the Sacred Tree Temple.
• Taisu said she had wanted to swallow the white-robed youth, the female stone puppet, and Yan Hong, but could not because they had come in their true bodies.

• Lixiao reported that the Ancient Heavenly Demon Clan and Ancient Three-Eyed Clan had been annihilated, and that he had witnessed the Combat Saint Clan’s strongest ancestor being torn apart by a scarlet-eyed, metallic-faced being.
• Lixiao said the being was not human, demon, immortal, or a member of the Mechanical Race, and the assembled clan members feared the Heavenly Craft Clan and Spirit Rhino Clan were next.
• Yan Chijia of the Heavenly Craft Clan cried for help outside the Spirit Rhino Clan’s ancestral grounds.
