Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings were surrounded by exotic beasts led by a faceless triple-S-class king, but Qin Ze used his divine power to force them to let the group pass. After they left, the king and a small octopus recognized Qin Ze from New Land and argued over whether to pursue him while guarding the Chaos Egg.

• The faceless exotic beast accused Qin Ze of violating an agreement, while the surrounded Heavenly Kings debated how to escape.

• After Qin Ze's group departed, a small octopus identified him as the person it had fought in New Land and urged the faceless exotic beast to prioritize their mission to guard the Chaos Egg.

Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings escaped the exotic beast horde with a large haul of Soul Orbs, then encountered three Spirit Clan observers who revealed that their leader, Tree Bearer, was on his way. The chapter ended as Tree Bearer emerged from a spatial door to meet them.

• The Spirit Clan observers watched Qin Ze and his companions emerge safely from the beast horde, and the bald captain decided they could not let them leave before Tree Bearer arrived.
• Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings rode the Abyss Puppet away, collected 231 low-level and 190 mid-level Soul Orbs, and gave them all to Brother Devour.

• Qin Ze detected an Ancient Race signal competing for control of the Abyss Puppet and guided it to the three Spirit Clan observers.
• The bald captain said Tree Bearer knew why the exotic beasts had gathered, and Tree Bearer arrived through a spatial door.

The Tree Bearer discovered that Qin Ze could control an Abyss Puppet without a Spirit Clan key and invited him and the Heavenly Kings to visit the Spirit Clan. Qin Ze arrived in the Spirit Clan’s lush world and recognized its giant trees from the Lost World.

• The Tree Bearer met Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings, learned they had encountered the faceless king-level exotic beast, and ordered them not to trespass in the sealed area again.
• Qin Ze claimed to be Lin Zhiyuan, a friend of Lady Zi Yue, and asked why the exotic beasts had gathered and what agreement they had with the Spirit Clan.

• Qin Ze arrived in a lush, primitive world and recognized its thousand-meter-tall trees from the Lost World where the God of Machinery had descended.

Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings followed Tree Bearer through the Spirit Clan’s city to its oldest Spirit Tree, which Miss Sword Case recognized from a half-remembered visit. After waiting outside the clan leader’s hall, Qin Ze saw Zi Liangchen emerge and called out to him.

• After waiting outside the hall, Qin Ze saw Zi Liangchen emerge and shouted that sword cultivator Lin Zhiyuan was there.

Qin Ze discovered that Zi Yue had fallen into a deep sleep after losing half her Spirit in the forbidden land. He waited three days for the Spirit Clan leader to return with an oracle, then decided to enter the forbidden land himself.

• Qin Ze reunited with Zi Liangchen in the Spirit Clan and learned that Zi Liangchen guarded the Divine Maiden, Bai Zi Yue.
• Zi Liangchen took Qin Ze to see Zi Yue, who lay unconscious with half her Spirit missing after entering the forbidden land.
• Qin Ze insisted that Zi Yue's missing Spirit had to be recovered, but Zi Liangchen said the clan leader was seeking an oracle at the Oracle Holy Temple.
• Qin Ze agreed to wait three days for the clan leader, and he and the Heavenly Kings rested under watch in a nearby courtyard.
• On the evening of the fourth day, Qin Ze announced that he was going to the forbidden land.

Qin Ze sneaked into the Spirit Clan's forbidden land with Miss Sword Case to investigate what lay beneath its glowing center. When Qin Ze used his divine power to search the ground, the forbidden land was sealed off and an enormous page began rising.

• Qin Ze refused to bring the Heavenly Kings or Brother Devour, left a clone behind, and escaped unseen through the Shelter Space with Miss Sword Case.

• Tree Bearer detected traces of spatial fluctuations and concluded someone had gone toward the forbidden land.
• Inside the forbidden land, Miss Sword Case recalled burying something there with a friend, whom Qin Ze suspected was Old Huang.
• Qin Ze searched the ground with divine power, triggering a tremor and a black barrier that sealed the forbidden land as an enormous page rose from below.

A new barrier appeared around the Spirit Clan’s forbidden area, trapping Qin Ze inside with the missing pages of the Chronicle of Time. As the pages revealed that the recorded method led to Chaos rather than the Land of Origin, they began turning rapidly and a force started pulling at Qin Ze’s soul.

• Tree Bearer and the Spirit Tree’s Advanced Martial Artists gathered outside the forbidden area, but an invisible force repelled anyone who tried to touch the barrier.
• Qin Ze realized he could see the people outside while they could not see him, then recognized the floating pages as part of the Chronicle of Time.
• Qin Ze and his companions discovered that the pages described a route to Chaos, not the Land of Origin, and Brother Devour suggested that “reach the origin” referred to a world on the verge of death.
• Qin Ze learned from Miss Sword Case that she had once been to the icy, lifeless Chaos, while Zi Yue had unknowingly opened a path there in search of the goddess.
• The pages began flipping rapidly, a patch of black spread across them, and a powerful force started tugging at Qin Ze’s soul.

Qin Ze discovered that the black mass in the Chronicle of Time led to Chaos, where Zi Yue's Spirit might be, but clones vanished as soon as they entered. He withdrew after calming the portal and escaped the collapsing barrier, only to see the tree begin to glow with blood-red lines.

• Qin Ze resisted the force pulling at his Spirit and realized the black mass was a portal to Chaos, where part of Zi Yue's Spirit might be.
• Qin Ze sent several clones into the portal, but each disappeared almost immediately, leaving them unable to see Chaos.
• Brother Devour advised Qin Ze to wait for the clan leader's oracle before deciding whether to enter Chaos, and Qin Ze agreed.
• Qin Ze used the Chronicle of Time to stop the pages and shrink the black mass until it vanished.
• Qin Ze entered the Shelter Space with Miss Sword Case and retraced his route as the barrier dissolved, then saw red, bloodlike lines glowing across the tree's bark.

Qin Ze returned from the Shelter Space while the Heavenly Kings kept Zi Liangchen from entering his room, then revealed himself and heard that the patriarch had failed to obtain the oracle. The chapter left the oracle’s meaning and the consequences of the patriarch’s failure unresolved.

• The Spirit Tree glowed and rang a bell as Qin Ze descended through the Shelter Space, while Tree Bearer found the forbidden land unchanged and ordered martial artists to keep watch.
• Zi Liangchen came to the Heavenly Kings’ courtyard looking for Lin Zhiyuan, and Mist Lord and the others blocked him from reaching Qin Ze’s room.
• Brother Devour punched through the void and sent Zi Liangchen flying, while the Heavenly Kings surrounded him with their abilities.
• Qin Ze returned through his window during Dharma King’s display of lightning, then dismissed his sleeping clone and pretended he had just woken up.
• Qin Ze welcomed Zi Liangchen into his room, and Zi Liangchen told him that the patriarch had failed to obtain the oracle.

Qin Ze learned that the Spirit Clan leader had failed to obtain an oracle and that Zi Yue had once successfully entered the Oracle Holy Temple. After sleeping under Zi Liangchen’s watch, Qin Ze went to meet the clan leader and discovered that she was a woman.

• Zi Liangchen explained that the Spirit Tree signaled success or failure when someone left the Oracle Holy Temple, which had opened six times with only two successes.
• Zi Liangchen suspected Qin Ze was connected to an eruption in the forbidden land, but Qin Ze denied involvement and asked whether Zi Yue’s Spirit could have survived it.
• Zi Liangchen revealed that Zi Yue had successfully left the Oracle Holy Temple after twelve days, though only she knew which oracle she had obtained.
• Qin Ze decided to sleep while Zi Liangchen kept watch, then woke the next morning and went with him to meet the clan leader.
• Tree Bearer brought Qin Ze and Zi Liangchen through a portal to the grand hall, where Qin Ze saw that the clan leader was a mature woman.

Qin Ze demonstrated that he could control Abyss Puppets, then awakened a powerful puppet beneath the Spirit Tree before the clan leader stopped him. The clan leader realized Qin Ze bore Divine Markings, leaving the Spirit Clan’s response to him uncertain.

• The clan leader challenged Qin Ze to control a small, four-winged Abyss Puppet, and Qin Ze severed her connection to it and took control.
• Qin Ze used the insect as a relay to connect with a much larger Abyss Puppet beneath the Spirit Tree, causing the tree and its surroundings to shake violently.
• Qin Ze deepened his connection and began awakening the legendary Abyss Puppet, but the clan leader interrupted him before he could summon it.
• The clan leader warned Qin Ze that he had nearly uprooted the Spirit Tree, then considered him a threat to its safety.
• Qin Ze’s golden Divine Markings appeared, and the clan leader’s killing intent vanished as she exclaimed in disbelief.

Qin Ze used his Divine Markings to persuade the clan leader to let him enter the Oracle Holy Temple in three days to seek a way to save Zi Yue. As Qin Ze and Zi Liangchen left the hall, a messenger flashed past them, signaling that something serious had happened.

• Qin Ze revealed his Divine Markings and divine might, convincing the clan leader to trust the Source of God's choice and let him enter the Oracle Holy Temple after three days.
• The clan leader told Tree Bearer that Qin Ze had secretly tried the forbidden area but lacked the power to obtain an oracle there, and she wondered whether his godlike nature came from a fortuitous encounter rather than the Chaos Egg.
• Qin Ze left the hall, and Zi Liangchen caught up and learned Qin Ze planned to enter the Holy Temple to save Zi Yue.
• Zi Liangchen explained that the clan leader was his and Zi Yue's mother and blamed Qin Ze for Zi Yue's changed behavior, prompting Qin Ze and Zi Liangchen to trade jokes.
• A green-lit messenger flashed past Qin Ze and Zi Liangchen, and Zi Liangchen warned that something big had happened.

Qin Ze learned that Thousand Faces had begun a trial to protect the Chaos Egg in the Abyss, where a mysterious eruption of Chaos had killed over a hundred exotic beasts. Tree Bearer arrived to inspect the egg but mistook Thousand Faces for a human traitor and left after the Faceless Beast warned him away.

• Tree Bearer went to the Abyss after a messenger reported a problem with the exotic beasts, while Qin Ze returned to his quarters with Zi Liangchen.
• Thousand Faces told Qin Ze and the clones that his trial was to protect the Chaos Egg among the gathered exotic beasts.
• Thousand Faces examined the charred corpse of an SS-rank exotic beast and found its Soul Orb drained, alongside over a hundred other dead beasts.
• The Faceless Beast warned Thousand Faces to stay away from the Chaos Egg and said he could take the dead beast's place.
• Tree Bearer arrived through a portal, inspected the corpses, and prepared to attack Thousand Faces before the Faceless Beast threatened war and sent him away.

Qin Ze investigated the Chaos Egg’s deadly eruptions before heading to the Oracle Holy Temple to face its trial. He entered the temple alone, leaving the Spirit Clan patriarch and his companions waiting outside.

• Qin Ze watched a chaos eruption kill hundreds of exotic beasts and reasoned that the Chaos Egg was either underground or hidden in another space.
• Thousand Faces searched for the Chaos Egg for three days but instead mapped the herd’s defenses and located its high-level exotic beasts.
• Zi Liangchen accompanied Qin Ze to the top of the Spirit Tree, where the patriarch warned him that the Oracle Holy Temple’s trial would be different for everyone.
• The patriarch and the assembled Spirit Clan members opened the temple doors with streams of green light, and Qin Ze recognized the door’s array diagram from the Goddess of Life’s temple in the Land of Origin.
• Qin Ze entered the Oracle Holy Temple alone, and its doors closed behind him.

Qin Ze passed a wilderness trial by enduring crushing pressure and mental attacks to reach an apple tree, but unseen divine beings sent him into a maze of identical rooms and staircases. After opening sixty-two doors and finding himself increasingly agitated, he was warned by Miss Sword Case to stop.

• Qin Ze heard whispers in the darkness, then faced mounting physical and mental pressure as he approached an apple tree in a wilderness.
• Qin Ze broke through the pressure, knocked down and caught the apple, and learned from Miss Sword Case that divine power surrounded them.
• Qin Ze entered a white room with four identical doors, chose one, and began descending a staircase into a repeating sequence of rooms and stairways.
• Qin Ze opened sixty-two doors, became increasingly irritated, and found that his attacks could not affect the rooms, stairs, or doors.
• Miss Sword Case stopped Qin Ze just as he was about to open another door and told him they could not open any more.

Qin Ze learned that the endless doors were trapping him in increasingly deep dream layers, and Miss Sword Case blasted through the dream to wake him. After he escaped, the unseen beings argued over whether the trial counted and prepared to test him again, prompting Qin Ze to confront them.

• Miss Sword Case calmed Qin Ze and explained that the stairways led through dream layers, with Qin Ze already on the fiftieth layer and at risk of never waking.
• Miss Sword Case used a Daydream Bomb to destroy room after room and break through the dream until Qin Ze woke beneath the apple tree.
• Miss Sword Case taunted the unseen beings, while Qin Ze asked whether the trial was finally over.
• The unseen beings admitted Qin Ze had cleared the dream but argued that Miss Sword Case's help did not count and discussed sending another test.
• Qin Ze challenged the beings for continuing to test him as golden divine light streamed from the corners of his eyes.

Qin Ze exposed the Oracle Holy Temple’s trials as a trap and forced the hidden Oracles to reveal themselves. After learning they had made the trials nearly impossible to avoid being taken away, he faced the choice of which Oracle to claim.

• Qin Ze used his divine power to dispel the darkness and reveal the hidden Oracles, who panicked and begged him to stop.
• Miss Sword Case attacked the fleeing talismans until Qin Ze called her back so he could question them.
• Qin Ze ordered the Oracles into formation and learned they were fragments of gods’ authorities that worked with the temple’s formation to test visitors.
• The Oracles admitted they had raised the trials’ difficulty to prevent anyone from passing and taking them away.
• Qin Ze realized he had passed two trials and now had to choose an Oracle.

After clearing the trial, Qin Ze asked the oracles to help him enter Chaos and find someone’s Spirit. The oracles warned him about Chaos’s countless worlds and disordered time and space, then selected a shy blue oracle that claimed its ability could help him enter.

• Miss Sword Case disciplined the oracles, and Qin Ze described her as an ancient god’s companion.
• Qin Ze asked to choose an oracle and declared that he wanted to enter Chaos to find someone’s Spirit.
• The oracles explained that Chaos contained countless worlds on the scale of the Land of the Gods, where time and space were disordered and travelers could lose their way.
• When Qin Ze threatened to choose an oracle at random, the oracles pushed forward a shy blue oracle as someone who could help him enter Chaos.
• The blue oracle said its ability could help Qin Ze enter Chaos.

Qin Ze forced the oracles to let him take both Light and Fate after passing two trials, then learned the Holy Temple gathered the gods’ power to suppress Chaos. The purpose of the temple remained unclear beyond that revelation.

• The oracles explained that Light could illuminate Qin Ze’s position in Chaos and anchor him to the Land of the Gods, so he chose it.
• Qin Ze argued that passing two trials entitled him to two wishes and used a clone to get around the rule that each person could take only one oracle.
• Qin Ze asked for help finding three swords from the old gods’ era, and the oracles chose Fate, whose power could connect him to what he sought.
• Miss Sword Case repeatedly slashed Fate after it insulted her, while the oracle reassembled and eventually stopped talking.
• Qin Ze pressed the oracles about the Holy Temple’s purpose, and one explained that it gathered the gods’ power to suppress Chaos.

Qin Ze cleared the Oracle Holy Temple trial and received the Oracles of Light and Fate, while learning little about the war of the gods or the Land of Origin. The Spirit Tree began to recover, and the clan leader saw Qin Ze emerge from the temple.

• Qin Ze questioned the Oracles about the Land of Origin, the war of the gods, and the white-haired girl who had taken an Oracle, but they could not give him the answers he wanted.
• Qin Ze advanced to the next stage, and Light warned him that each Oracle's effect could only be used once.
• Qin Ze left the Holy Temple with Light and Fate, whose marks appeared on his forehead.
• Tree Bearer reported that Chaos had erupted again and that the Chaos Egg was nearing maturity.
• The clan leader saw the Spirit Tree sprout new buds and green light, then teleported to the temple and found Qin Ze standing outside.

Qin Ze cleared the Oracle Holy Temple in half a day and emerged with two Oracles, leaving him nearly drained of spiritual power. After recovering enough to leave, he rested at the Spirit Clan lodgings and promised Zi Liangchen he would enter the forbidden area the next day to retrieve Zi Yue’s Spirit.

• Qin Ze emerged from the Oracle Holy Temple with two Oracle marks after completing its trial in half a day, but the Oracles drained nearly all his spiritual power.
• The clan leader restored some of Qin Ze’s spiritual power and postponed his visit to the forbidden area so he could rest.
• Zi Liangchen teleported Qin Ze back to their lodgings, where Qin Ze recovered while a Spirit Clan woman calmed his spiritual fluctuations.
• Qin Ze realized Zi Yue had used her one-time Oracle and told Zi Liangchen he would retrieve her Spirit from the forbidden area the next day.

Qin Ze prepared to enter the Spirit Clan’s forbidden land while learning that the Chaos Egg was nearing maturity. The patriarch rewarded him with Life Essence, a Mental Seed that instantly matured into the Tree of Mind, and a pool of Blazing Sun Fire, where Qin Ze began tempering his body.

• Thousand Faces told Qin Ze that Chaos had erupted and the Chaos Egg was close to maturing, so Qin Ze told him to stay hidden until Qin Ze returned from the forbidden land.
• The patriarch visited Qin Ze, confirmed his mental power had recovered, and gave him three vats of Life Essence.
• The patriarch gave Qin Ze a Mental Seed, which instantly grew into a towering Tree of Mind inside his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
• The patriarch prepared a pool of pure Blazing Sun Fire to temper Qin Ze’s body, and Qin Ze leaped into it.

Qin Ze absorbed the Spirit Clan leader’s Blazing Sun Fire, transforming his heart into a source that could continually temper his body. He prepared to enter the dungeon in Chaos with the Heavenly Kings the next day.

• Qin Ze endured the Blazing Sun Fire until blue flames protected him and his body absorbed the blaze.
• Qin Ze’s heart drew in the pool’s remaining fire, becoming a Blazing Sun Pool that could temper his body at any time.
• The clan leader told Qin Ze that only divine artifacts could improve his strength further and asked him to meet her at the forbidden land at daybreak.
• Qin Ze shared Life Essence with Magician and the other Heavenly Kings, then kicked Magician back into the pool when he asked for more.
• Qin Ze told the Heavenly Kings they would enter the dungeon in Chaos together the next day.

Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings entered the forbidden land’s formation to search for Zi Yue’s Spirit, with the Oracle of Light marking their route before sacrificing itself. Inside Chaos, Qin Ze followed the clan leader’s bracelet but encountered an enormous, freezing fingernail blocking his way.

• Qin Ze entered the forbidden land formation with the Heavenly Kings after the clan leader gave him a bracelet to guide him to Zi Yue’s Spirit.
• Qin Ze activated the formation, and the Book of the Forbidden Land pulled him and his companions into Chaos.
• The Oracle of Light used its power to mark Qin Ze and the book, then fell silent after fulfilling its purpose.
• Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings faced an intense cold in the endless darkness, and he followed the bracelet’s direction toward Zi Yue.
• Qin Ze struck an immense barrier and realized it was a gigantic fingernail radiating killing intent.

Qin Ze entered Chaos and discovered that it had sealed Strange Beast Gods and a true god, while the cold began sealing him and Miss Sword Case as well. He continued searching for Zi Yue’s Spirit, but an unseen presence followed him with eerie laughter, prompting him to attack.

• Qin Ze encountered a sealed Strange Beast God, and Brother Devour warned him that Chaos had imprisoned it.
• Qin Ze realized Chaos was also sealing Miss Sword Case and continued toward Bai Chi despite the spreading cold.
• Qin Ze found three more sealed deities, including a true god whom Miss Sword Case remembered as a villain who wanted her children.
• Qin Ze continued through the wound in the true god’s abdomen to search for Zi Yue’s Spirit.
• An unseen source began laughing around Qin Ze, and he swung Miss Sword Case to unleash a shock wave.
