Chen Zheng, the Creation doll, and the Emperor of Light argued over their strength and limitations, while the Emperor of Darkness examined Chen Zheng’s strange artifacts. The chapter ended with Feiya stunned by the gathering of several half-step transcendent beings.

• The Emperor of Light claimed Chen Zheng could not fully wield his powerful body, but the Creation doll argued that Chen Zheng could still leave the palace and had a chance to transcend.
• The Creation doll revealed that Chen Zheng could be endlessly teleported through space and time before he recovered his cultivation, prompting the Emperor of Light to consider exploiting that weakness.
• Chen Zheng and the Creation doll accused each other of scheming and hiding things, while Feiya struggled to process the powerful beings around her.
• A babyish voice came from Chen Zheng’s glass marble, and the Emperor of Light split off the Emperor of Darkness.
• The Emperor of Light identified Chen Zheng’s mechanical puppet as having half-step-transcendent hardness, while the Emperor of Darkness recognized that the glass marble contained a sealed universe and demanded to know who had made it.
• Feiya looked at Chen Zheng, the Emperor of Light, the Emperor of Darkness, the Creation doll, and the mechanical puppet and wondered at the terrifying lineup.

Chen Zheng faced the Emperors of Light and Darkness as they discussed a predator beyond the universe’s barrier, while the metal woman Falan joined him and was absorbed by the Cosmic Cantilever. The Emperor of Darkness attacked Chen Zheng, but Chen Zheng remained unharmed, leaving the Emperor of Light wondering whether Chen Zheng had already reached transcendence despite remaining in reincarnation.

• The Emperor of Light told Chen Zheng that he had once approached the universe’s crystalline barrier but retreated after sensing an injured being outside that planned to devour him.
• The little Creation doll said the Taisu Stone Egg likely came from Zero, and then the metal woman Falan emerged from torn spacetime and chose to follow Chen Zheng.
• The Cosmic Cantilever absorbed Falan into Chen Zheng, and the little Creation doll, angered by the choice, entered Chen Zheng’s brow with the Creation Lotus Seed to focus on awakening.
• The Emperor of Light explained that Falan was the spirit of creation of the Falan Universe and his teacher, while the Emperor of Darkness attacked Chen Zheng for taking her away.
• The Emperor of Darkness’s transcendent power vanished without harming Chen Zheng, astonishing the Emperor of Light, who asked how Chen Zheng could have taken that step and still be in reincarnation.

Chen Zheng and Feiya left the Emperor of Light’s palace after Chen Zheng agreed to let the emperors witness his future attempt to transcend the Great Samsara. Back in the Great Abyss, he returned to the Burning Heaven Demon Palace and learned that the Amethyst Saint Clan might be able to revive Bai Mei’s Heavenly Crystal Sacred Seed.

• The Emperor of Light asked Chen Zheng to take Feiya back and notify the emperors when he was ready to transcend, and Chen Zheng agreed.

• Bai Mei said only the Amethyst Saint Clan’s ancestral land might revive the seed, and Chen Zheng recalled the grown girl who had eaten a Creation Immortal Fruit.

Chen Zheng considered the Cosmic Cantilever’s Falan Universe path, which could quickly grant him Half-Step Transcendence but would block him from advancing further, and chose a host for Falan. He sent Gai Shi to Great Dark Heaven with Falan and learned that her older brother might be in the Great Void as the Gai Tian Flame Emperor.

• Chen Zheng invited Bai Mei to visit the Amethyst Saint Clan’s sacred land, but she said she wanted to return to the Futu Great World for revenge, and he left her to decide for herself.
• Chen Zheng scanned the Great Abyss and learned that the Cosmic Cantilever could raise his power quickly through the Falan Universe path, but that path offered no chance of Transcendence.
• Falan asked Chen Zheng to find her a suitable host, and he chose Gai Shi, whom he called a tyrannosaurus rex.
• Chen Zheng told Gai Shi to take Falan to Great Dark Heaven and give her to Little Bone, then revealed that her older brother might be the Gai Tian Flame Emperor in the Great Void’s Yang Extremity Divine Hall.
• Gai Shi took Falan and departed, while Chen Zheng wondered what Fate had arranged for him at the Amethyst Saint Clan’s ancestral land.

Chen Zheng left the Great Abyss and arrived at Heaven-Severing Ferry, where travelers were scrambling to board an Amethyst Warship bound for the Amethyst Saint Clan’s ancestral land. As the others rushed aboard, Chen Zheng was left alone at the ferry.

• The Triple Waves knocked Young Master Fengjian and most other travelers away from the amethyst warship, while Ancestor Douxian and a white-robed swordsman boarded.
• Chen Zheng remarked that Heaven-Severing Ferry had many tricks, drawing the scorn of Young Master Fengjian, Ancestor Douxian, and the Amethyst Saint Clan members.
• On their second attempt, Miss Yingge, Young Master Fengjian, and other travelers boarded the warship as the deadline approached.
• Young Master Fengjian offered Chen Zheng a Yellow Dragon Pill, and Ancestor Douxian's pressure failed to make him move; the others mocked Chen Zheng and accused him of waiting to steal the pill.

Chen Zheng remained on the Jeweled Garland Boat’s deck as Changsheng River’s ancient fiends attacked with seductive voices and visions. While the others struggled to resist from inside the cabin, Chen Zheng stood unmoved before the fiends, including the powerful Madam Yan.

Chen Zheng and the other travelers reached the Amethyst Saint Clan's ancestral land, where Zi Lan warned him about the trials ahead and promised to help him meet the young lady.

• Chen Zheng casually stepped onto Tongtian Road and crossed it in a single step.

Chen Zheng reached Reincarnation Cliff, where visions revealed the past lives of those who crossed it. When his vision appeared, it shattered the cliff, leaving Zi Lan and the others horrified.

• Zi Lan warned everyone that Reincarnation Cliff could expose past lives and trap their primordial spirits, then Young Master Fengjian crossed and appeared as a former powerhouse of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Clan.
• Ancestor Douxian crossed without a visible vision, and Yingge crossed as a blue lamp appeared in her vision.
• The fat-headed, big-eared middle-aged man sank into his past life and transformed into a pig, so Zi Lan restrained him and warned that waking him would be extremely difficult.
• After the others crossed, Chen Zheng stepped onto the walkway, and a vision showed an ordinary-looking figure that seemed taller than the heavens.

• Zi Shenkong blamed Chen Zheng for the damage to the Amethyst Saint Clan’s ancestral land and demanded that he leave, while Tianjiao defended her godfather.
• Chen Zheng ignored Zi Shenkong’s divine attack and said he had come to see Tianjiao and borrow the ancestral land to resurrect someone from the Heavenly Crystal Saint Clan.
