Chapter Summaries

Chen Qingyu comprehended the Law of Change within the Heart of Myriad Realms and gained limited control over its power. He used it to rescue Emperor Venerable Baihua from the shifting realm, reuniting her with Emperor Venerable Qinglu after more than a hundred thousand years.

• Emperor Venerable Qinglu and Emperor Venerable Baihua recognized and embraced each other, weeping at their reunion.

Emperor Venerable Baihua reunited with Emperor Venerable Qinglu after more than a hundred thousand years, but she denied sending the coordinates that led to her rescue. Chen Qingyu stayed to refine the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment while Qinglu and Baihua waited, until Dongfang Jinglong suddenly broke into the space.

Dongfang Jinglong revealed that she had been piloting the ancient King of Creation and explained that its power source had suddenly failed, leaving her pursued by more than thirty Emperor Venerables. With Chen Qingyu holding the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment in place, she asked him and the others to help send it back to its main body on the Divine Throne’s fifth level.

• Dongfang Jinglong recognized Emperor Venerable Baihua and accused her and Emperor Venerable Qinglu of plotting against Dongfang Lingluo over a hundred thousand years earlier.

• Dongfang Jinglong explained that the King of Creation had lost its power source, forcing her to flee while more than thirty Emperor Venerables pursued her.
• Dongfang Jinglong proposed that they cooperate to return the fragment to its main body, which would carry them to the Divine Throne’s core fifth level.

• Chen Qingyu and Emperor Venerable Qinglu rejected Dongfang Jinglong’s offer to cooperate because they feared she would turn against them once the King of Creation recovered its power.
• Emperor Venerable Qinglu urged Chen Qingyu to leave the Divine Throne with her and Emperor Venerable Baihua, but he refused to give up the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment.

• Dongfang Jinglong realized she had no safe escape and accused Chen Qingyu of seizing control of her lifeline.

Chen Qingyu and Dongfang Jinglong formed a wary alliance to use the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment to withstand the Emperor Venerables while he refined it. After Chen Qingyu controlled over one-fifth of its power, he sensed that the Emperor Venerables had arrived.

• Chen Qingyu proposed using the fragment to hold off the Emperor Venerables, then escaping to the fifth floor with Dongfang Jinglong.

• Dongfang Jinglong considered ambushing Chen Qingyu but suppressed the idea because her King of Creation lacked the power to attack.
• After more than half an hour, Chen Qingyu had refined over one-fifth of the fragment's power and warned Dongfang Jinglong that the Emperor Venerables had arrived.

Chen Qingyu and Dongfang Jinglong faced dozens of Emperor Venerables who had entered the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment. Chen Qingyu used the fragment’s power to repel two attacks, but the confrontation remained underway.

• Dongfang Jinglong encased herself in the Creation Battle Armor as dozens of Emperor Venerables arrived and surrounded her and Chen Qingyu.
• Great Emperor Hunyuan accused Chen Qingyu of betraying the Holy Protection Alliance and attacked him with Primordial Unity Qi.
• Chen Qingyu used the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment to counter the attack with the law of particles, shocking the Emperor Venerables.
• Another Emperor Venerable fixed space and warped dimensions, but Chen Qingyu used the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror and the fragment’s power to dissolve the effect.

• Quasi-Emperor Void King deduced that Chen Qingyu had exploited tiny gaps between the attacks, possibly by stopping time.
• Great Emperor Hunyuan and the other Emperor Venerables grew wary as they wondered whether Chen Qingyu could truly stop time.

• Chen Qingyu confirmed that he had been stopping time to counter the Emperor Venerables’ attacks and warned them that they could not defeat him that way.
• Great Emperor Hunyuan and the other Emperor Venerables changed tactics, attacking Chen Qingyu while the rest bombarded the space to destroy his source of power.

Chen Qingyu and Dongfang Jinglong escaped the Emperor Venerables by faking a devastating attack and reaching the fifth level of the Divine Throne. After Chen Qingyu’s Heart of Myriad Realms fragment transformed his lifebound Mystic Artifact into the Wanjie All-Heaven Seal, he and Dongfang Jinglong argued over what she could offer as his guide, until she asserted control with her giant construct armor.

• Chen Qingyu used the Law of the Great Void to deceive the Emperor Venerables, then escaped with Dongfang Jinglong as the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment carried them away.
• Great Emperor Hunyuan realized Chen Qingyu had tricked them, while the gold-robed elder urged the Emperor Venerables to search for the pair.
• After arriving on the fifth level, Chen Qingyu absorbed the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment, which transformed his white jade seal into a Peak Quasi-Emperor lifebound Mystic Artifact.

Chen Qingyu let the Void Universe Star Sea’s summons carry him out of the Divine Throne, escaping Dongfang Jinglong and the jade-white divine light that destroyed the King of Creation. On the fourth level, Great Emperor Hunyuan and the other Emperor Venerables remained unable to locate them and turned to Void King for help.

• Dongfang Jinglong revealed that she had empowered the King of Creation with the Heart of Myriad Realms and demanded that Chen Qingyu surrender its fragment and submit.
• Chen Qingyu explained that he had suspected a hidden force controlled the Divine Throne, and the jade-white divine light appeared and destroyed the King of Creation.
• The jade-white divine light immobilized Dongfang Jinglong and suppressed Chen Qingyu, but Chen Qingyu accepted the star sea’s summons and ascended beyond the Divine Throne and Dao Domain.
• The jade-white light withdrew into the distant palaces, taking Dongfang Jinglong and the King of Creation with it.
• On the fourth level, Great Emperor Hunyuan and the other Emperor Venerables failed to find Chen Qingyu and Dongfang Jinglong, so they asked Void King to use his spatial perception.

Chen Qingyu also learned that his master’s influence protected him from retaliation for killing the Twelve Yuanchen Palace disciples.

• Danyang Ju told Chen Qingyu he could command the Supreme Star Palace’s Emperor Venerables and gave him Heavenly Lord power to travel through the Three Thousand Dao Domains and enter the star sea.

Danyang Ju warned Chen Qingyu that his star-based cultivation method had become a shackle to his Dao of Myriad Calamities and told him to create a method of his own. After leaving Danyang Ju’s palace, Chen Qingyu toured the Supreme Star Palace with Li He and learned how its authority was organized.

Chen Qingyu settled into his new role as the Supreme Star Venerable’s seventh personal disciple and learned how far the Supreme Star Palace’s influence reached across the Star Sea. As his discipleship ceremony drew near, he explored the powers of the Realm of Creation and decided to visit his master.

The chapter ended with a former Saint King who once hunted Chen Qingyu reflecting on how dramatically their positions had changed.
