Qin Ze and Bai Bai explored Heaven, where they suspected the Ancient Race had brought everyone to gather Chaos Matter. Their search ended when a swarm of white orbs devoured them and continued through the nebulae.

• Qin Ze entered Heaven with Bai Bai and discovered that its stars contained pure Chaos Matter.
• Qin Ze contacted his clones, and they speculated that the Ancient Race wanted the Chaos Matter to help close the world.
• Captain reported that fewer Abyss eggs had appeared outside, while the Sea of Glaze and Molten Steel Civilization prepared for war.

• Miss Sword Case spotted a swarm of white orbs, and one struck Qin Ze, turning him into white light.
• Bai Bai was also swallowed as the orbs swept onward, consuming stars and living beings.

Qin Ze and Bai Bai were trapped inside a primordial world embryo, where Qin Ze used the Source of the World to accelerate its formation. The Chronicle of Time let him reshape the newborn world, and he began considering what living things it still needed.

• Qin Ze found Bai Bai in the dark, empty embryo and learned that the space was slowly expanding.
• Miss Sword Case explained that the space was a world embryo that would take thousands of years to mature inside, though less time would pass in the Abyss.
• Brother Devour warned that absorbing too much Chaos Matter could block meridians, while Bai Bai said the matter caused them no discomfort.
• Qin Ze fed the world core the Source of the World, accelerating the embryo's growth until it formed a world with sky, land, and natural laws.
• The Chronicle of Time opened new pages and gave Qin Ze a way to edit the world, so he created mountains, lakes, forests, canyons, rivers, and seas.
• Miss Sword Case pointed out that the world still had no animals, and Qin Ze realized it lacked living creatures.

Qin Ze experimented with genetic information, a Soul Orb, his own blood, and Bai Bai’s blood to seed life in a new world, then watched its ecosystems evolve through repeated booms and catastrophes. The world’s rules stabilized as a humanoid intelligent life form appeared.

• Qin Ze discovered that the Chronicle of Time contained preset genetic information for many future civilizations, then combined three genetic strands and added a Soul Orb, his essence blood, and Bai Bai’s blood.
• The genetic helix shattered into the world, where single-celled organisms emerged in the sea and evolved into plankton and marine invertebrates as Qin Ze watched.
• Marine life diversified, land plants appeared, and a sudden ice age followed as organisms consumed greenhouse gases; surviving life later emerged as the world warmed.
• Fish ventured onto land and became ancestors of diverse land animals, but volcanic eruptions devastated the world before underground survivors and resilient plankton helped life recover.
• Season 3 filled the world with bizarre plants and animals, including a three-headed bald eagle, and Qin Ze spotted a grass-skirted humanoid catching black liquid from a broken tree.

Qin Ze watched a primitive tribe survive in a dangerous forest, where Lan and his companions hunted a monstrous two-headed beast using their extraordinary transformations. Outside the world, the trapped representatives remained cut off as Qin Ze’s exploration efforts made no progress.

• The Captain told Qin Ze that representatives had surrounded the closed black market, while no Strange Gods or sky eggs had shown new signs of activity.
• Qin Ze watched Lan bring Ghost-Faced Tree sap to the shaman, who used it to ease the poison afflicting the tribe’s chief.
• Lan led three tribemates into the forest to hunt a huge two-headed beast called Niuniu.
• Two hunters transformed into giant beasts and another became a tree to trap Niuniu, but its acidic spray wounded one of them.
• Lan transformed into a giant with metallic arms and severed both of Niuniu’s heads, prompting the Mist Lord to declare the tribe’s people the true monsters of the world.

Qin Ze learned that the tribe’s size-shifting came from Savage Beast genes and watched Lan struggle to master the shaman’s breathing method. When a powerful anaconda attacked the tribe, the chief called on their god and Qin Ze recognized his Divine Marking appearing on the chief.

• Qin Ze realized that only a dozen tribespeople could transform and learned from Bai Bai that Savage Beasts were the first generation of Strange Beasts.
• The shaman watched Lan practice a flawed breathing technique and called him the tribe’s best hope of becoming an Apostle of God.
• A green anaconda broke through the tribe’s fence, swallowed one warrior, and battered the others.
• The shaman told Lan to lead the tribe away while he and the chief stayed to fight the anaconda.
• The chief prayed to their god, and Qin Ze recognized his Divine Marking spreading across the chief’s chest, neck, and face.

Qin Ze and the others watched the chief battle the anaconda, whose second form revealed that it had absorbed the chief’s child. The shaman sacrificed his life to empower the chief, but after the blessing faded, the chief killed himself rather than submit, and the anaconda resumed its pursuit of the tribe.

• The anaconda revealed a humanoid form resembling the chief, and Qin Ze deduced that it had devoured the chief’s child and sought the chief’s Divine Vein.
• The chief fought the anaconda while Qin Ze refused to intervene, and the shaman used his life force to bless the chief and restore his strength.
• The empowered chief overwhelmed the anaconda, but it avoided him until the shaman’s life force was exhausted and he collapsed dead.
• The anaconda’s venom weakened the chief, and he took his own life rather than submit to it.
• The anaconda swallowed the chief’s corpse and headed after Lan and the fleeing tribespeople.

Lan led the tribespeople toward the Eagle-Winged Dragon’s territory to escape the anaconda, then stayed behind to buy them time. As Lan awakened his Divine Vein and fought the anaconda, the Eagle-Winged Dragon killed it and turned to face him.

• Lan ordered the tribespeople toward the Eagle-Winged Dragon’s territory, but the anaconda caught up and killed the chief and the warriors at the rear.
• Lan stayed behind to fight the anaconda while the other warriors escorted the tribespeople over the ridge.
• The anaconda’s venom overwhelmed Lan, but he awakened his Divine Vein and struck the anaconda with a golden punch.
• Lan wounded the anaconda with a cross-shaped slash, but it knocked him away and remained far stronger than him.
• The Eagle-Winged Dragon swooped down, killed the anaconda, and looked toward Lan.

Lan defeated the anaconda but faced death at the hands of the Eagle-Winged Dragon until Qin Ze intervened, named Lan's people the Otherhuman Race, and granted them a martial cultivation inheritance. The Eagle-Winged Dragon became their guardian beast, and Lan and the dragon began their partnership.

• The Eagle-Winged Dragon killed the anaconda and prepared to attack Lan, but an invisible barrier stopped it when Lan declared his loyalty.
• Qin Ze appeared in the mist, praised Lan for protecting his people, and bestowed the complete Fire Movement Technique on him to pass down to the Otherhuman Race.
• Qin Ze empowered Lan into a Level Three Martial Artist and appointed the Eagle-Winged Dragon guardian beast of the Otherhuman Race.
• Bai Bai gave Qin Ze a drop of essence blood, which transformed the Eagle-Winged Dragon's bloodline and made it submit fully.
• Lan reached out to the Eagle-Winged Dragon, which pressed its face against his hand, and Lan called them partners.

Qin Ze watched the Otherhuman Race grow into the Mutant Empire and gained the tribe’s worship as a source of faith. After Lan died, a spatial disturbance appeared in the sky, suggesting Qin Ze might finally be able to leave the world.

• Lan taught the Fire Movement Technique to the tribe as its shaman and chief, while the Eagle-Winged Dragon refined Bai Bai’s essence blood.
• The Otherhuman Race held its first grand sacrificial ceremony, and the people’s devotion ignited Qin Ze’s Fire of Faith.
• Over time, the tribe became the Mutant Empire, and the aging Lan urged the new emperor to carry on before dying at the age of 197.
• Lan saw Qin Ze above the clouds and died after hearing him say that he had done well.
• Qin Ze reflected on the centuries he had spent watching the world change, then noticed colorful ripples spread across the sky.

Qin Ze watched martial arts rules enter the Otherhuman world, granting its people innate abilities, while Brother Devour and many clones arrived through world seeds. The group remained unable to leave, and Qin Ze continued seeking a route to the Land of Origin.

• The Otherhuman Race witnessed ripples in the sky as martial arts rules entered their world, and the new emperor held a God-Worshipping Ceremony after the disturbance ended.
• Brother Devour was engulfed by a world seed and appeared beside Qin Ze, while Bai Bai learned that passage through the world only went one way.
• Brother Devour explained how world seeds traveled from Galaxy through the Land of Origin and suggested the Chronicle of Time had guided Qin Ze to Galaxy's core.
• The Otherhuman Race began developing innate abilities, and Qin Ze repeatedly searched the world's edge for an exit without success.
• Nearly a hundred clones encountered world seeds and were transported to new worlds as Qin Ze remained intent on reaching the Land of Origin.

Qin Ze explained that the Ancient Race planned to retrieve the Chaos Matter by waiting for the world seeds to mature and their occupants to return to the Abyss. He decided not to let the Ancient Race take what the contestants gathered and summoned Echo with the Magic Conch to ask for a way out, but Echo demanded an equivalent price.

• The clones discovered that most of their world seeds lacked life or advanced intelligent civilizations, and Qin Ze explained that mature worlds would open Abyss Gates the Ancient Race could use to track them down.
• Qin Ze told the clones that some worlds could mature within three to four months of Abyss time, making the Ancient Race’s plan to reclaim the Chaos Matter feasible.
• Qin Ze decided to leave rather than wait for the Ancient Race to seize the Chaos Matter, exciting the clones with the prospect of fighting back.
• Qin Ze blew the Magic Conch and summoned Echo, whose call stirred living beings across the world.
• Echo recognized that Qin Ze was in a newly born world and said it could help him escape, but only in exchange for a price.

Qin Ze made a heart-bound promise to Echo after Echo asked them to act like strangers the next time they met. He saw Heaven’s terrifying gaze, learned that Heaven created everything, and then pressed Echo to help him escape by opening the worlds in his region.

• Echo asked Qin Ze to promise that they would pass each other as strangers if they met again, and Qin Ze agreed in his own name.
• Qin Ze reached out to Heaven with his heart and saw its dark-red, many-eyed form, which shattered his spiritual tree and stopped the King Engine.
• Echo told Qin Ze that Heaven created everything, including gods, and warned him to treasure the present.
• Qin Ze demanded that Echo honor its side of the trade, and Echo offered to open every world in Qin Ze’s region so he could escape.
• Echo explained that the conch was a regional anchor and told Qin Ze to shout what he wanted into it.

Yan Miao was trapped in a slowly evolving newborn world after falling through the Northern Heaven Gate, but he contacted Second Sister and learned that the city’s residents had been sent inside. A mysterious call from sword cultivator Lin Zhiyuan opened a spatial gate, allowing Yan Miao and Second Sister to escape.

• Yan Miao wandered the newborn world, failed to find an exit, and waited as it slowly evolved.
• The Golden Crow mark let Yan Miao contact Second Sister, who said the grand elders had sent the whole city through the Northern Heaven Gate to stop the South District harassment.
• Second Sister tried to contact the other man but found he was not nearby, while she and Yan Miao wondered what lay beyond the gate.
• A voice called, "Who is calling the Circus!" and Yan Miao and Second Sister recognized it as sword cultivator Lin Zhiyuan’s.
• A spatial gate opened in the sky, and Yan Miao and Second Sister passed through it to escape their worlds.

Qin Ze left the Otherhuman Race after preparing them to face the future, then joined the Heavenly Kings and his companions in the Chaos galaxy. Echo marked the route to the Land of Origin, and Qin Ze and Bai Bai entered the nebula as others converged on it.

• Qin Ze used the Magic Conch to open a spatial vortex, and the Otherhuman Race heard his instructions before he departed.
• The king declared an annual Ascension Day and ordered the martial academy to teach the improved breathing technique to everyone.
• Qin Ze returned to the Chaos galaxy, where he discovered that the Otherhuman Race's faith had created a powerful Fire of Faith beneath his feet.

• Yan Miao and his second sister headed toward the nebula while looking for signs of Lin Zhiyuan, and Master Zuo also set out for it.
• Qin Ze grabbed Bai Bai by one leg and leaped into the nebula as more than a hundred people converged on it.

Qin Ze and his companions found the Land of Origin transformed into a dead wasteland, where Miss Sword Case’s memories revealed how she sacrificed herself to reforge the Star Gate and later lost her memories of her best friend and children. The visions ended with the God of the Underworld sending her to wait at the foot of a mountain for her friend, leaving Qin Ze in tears.

• Qin Ze questioned whether the dead forest was the Land of Origin, and Miss Sword Case insisted that it was.
• Miss Sword Case’s memories showed her agreeing to become the core of the new Star Gate, which her best friend reforged at the cost of their heart.
• Miss Sword Case lent her Five Elements Flying Swords to her friend, knowing the separation would make her forget them, and asked them not to leave her behind.
• The Goddess of Life asked the God of the Underworld about the deaths of the gods, and he said they had died fighting Strange Gods and hoped she would keep her word.
• The God of the Underworld told Miss Sword Case to wait for her best friend at the foot of the mountain, and she remembered that she had been sent to the Land of Origin.
• Qin Ze emerged from Miss Sword Case’s memories with tears streaming down his face.

Qin Ze and Miss Sword Case recovered fragmented memories suggesting they had known each other in a past life, then continued through the ruined Land of Origin in search of the Divine Tree. They encountered a tongue that could conceal Bai Bai’s aura and a big yellow dog, which Qin Ze persuaded to lead them onward by offering Bai Bai as payment.

• Qin Ze and Miss Sword Case realized their memory fragments suggested they had been best friends in the distant past, while Qin Ze and the Heavenly Kings debated whether he had been Master Desolate and what that meant for the Mystery in the Womb.
• Qin Ze and Miss Sword Case decided to find the Divine Tree and then visit the God of the Underworld, and Qin Ze led the group toward the dead forest across a dried-up stream.
• A hidden tongue startled Bai Bai, and the trees in the forest repeatedly regenerated and restrained him until the tongue concealed his aura and stopped them from attacking.
• A big yellow dog appeared and fixated on Bai Bai, so Qin Ze offered him to the dog in exchange for directions to the Divine Tree.
• The big yellow dog eagerly covered Bai Bai in drool, and Qin Ze decided their agreement was settled.

Qin Ze and his companions crossed a deadly wasteland by using Blazing Sun Fire to burn away the life-draining grass, rescuing Master Zuo from a light barrier. At the place where the Divine Tree had vanished, they discovered it hanging upside down beyond a mirror-like surface in the sky.

• Big Yellow warned Qin Ze that the grassland drained the life from anyone who entered, and told him how a pillar of black light had turned the forest and field into a deadly wasteland.
• Qin Ze set the grassland ablaze with Blazing Sun Fire, revealing a light barrier that the clones mistook for the Goddess of Life.
• The grass regrew when Brother Devour entered the field, so Qin Ze covered him with Blazing Sun Fire and walked with him toward the barrier.
• Qin Ze broke the barrier and woke Master Zuo, who explained that his Turtle Breath Shield had kept him alive through hibernation.
• Qin Ze found no trace of the Divine Tree at its former location, and Brother Devour spotted it blooming upside down beyond a mirror-like surface in the sky.

Qin Ze and his companions discovered that the Realm of Death and the Land of Origin were joined by the damaged Mirror of the Sky, and they set out to find its core and restart it. In the gray fog near the mirrored temple, Brother Devour caught a black rabbit, and Qin Ze’s sword struck it with a clang.

• The group saw the Land of Origin reflected above the water, and Miss Sword Case identified the reflection as the Mirror of the Sky connecting two worlds.
• Brother Devour explained that the exposed Mirror of the Sky had separated the Land of Origin from the Realm of Death, and Miss Sword Case said its core needed to be restarted to join them again.
• Qin Ze led the group through the wasteland toward the place where the temple should stand, and they entered dense gray fog.
• A black shadow warned the group to turn back, but Brother Devour chased it into the fog and returned carrying a black rabbit.
• Qin Ze took Fire Child from Miss Sword Case and struck the rabbit, but the blade bounced off with a clang.
