• Hermoz asked Hongjun to punish Lin Heng for breaking the Four Seas’ rules and devastating the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea.

Hongjun announced that Primordial Chaos had forbidden outside interference in Lin Heng and Hermoz's feud, leaving them to settle it themselves. Dijiang stepped forward to protect Lin Heng, borrowed his treasures, and prepared to fight Hermoz.

• Hermoz tried to force Hongjun to punish Lin Heng for attacking the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea.
• Hongjun said Primordial Chaos's decree barred the other seas from interfering in the feud and warned both sides not to disturb the Four Seas afterward.

• Lin Heng lent Dijiang the Eternal Ages Divine Weapon and Cosmic Net Seal, and Dijiang unleashed his power as Hermoz prepared to fight.

• Hermoz heard his subordinates begging Lin Heng for mercy and threatened to kill them, prompting them to reveal his alliance with Dasiwoba and his plans to capture Lin Heng’s mother and use the Blood Spirit Grand Array.

• Dijiang swung Eternal Ages in sweeping attacks, forcing Hermoz back and shrinking the area where he could hide.

Dijiang battled Hermoz inside the Blood Spirit Grand Array while its vengeful souls formed a regenerating skull. Hongjun let Lin Heng’s Evil Avatar enter the blood-colored space, where it began absorbing the souls’ energy, and Dijiang stopped Hermoz from attacking it.

• Hermoz summoned a giant skull from the vengeful souls, and Dijiang split it apart with Eternal Ages, but it quickly regenerated.
• Lin Heng said he wanted his Evil Avatar to absorb the vengeful souls, and Hongjun offered both sides permission to enter the blood-colored space.

• The Evil Avatar began absorbing the evil energy and resentment, rapidly approaching a breakthrough.
• Hermoz tried to attack the Evil Avatar, but Dijiang intercepted him and insisted on continuing their fight.

Hermoz fought Dijiang while Lin Heng's Evil Avatar devoured the Blood Spirit Grand Array, leaving Hermoz with little time to turn the battle around. As the spectators judged Hermoz increasingly likely to lose without help, Hongjun asked Dasiwoba whether he had caused the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea to abandon Hermoz.

• Lin Heng's Evil Avatar devoured the Blood Spirit Grand Array, weakening its power, while Dijiang blocked Hermoz from attacking the avatar.
• Hermoz launched a furious assault on Dijiang, who defended himself while also restraining the blood-colored skull and protecting the Evil Avatar.
• Dijiang blocked Hermoz's hundreds of thousands of attacks as the Evil Avatar consumed nearly two-tenths of the array's energy.

• Hongjun asked Dasiwoba whether he had made Hermoz's earlier words reach the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea, prompting its people to fear Hermoz would kill them.

Lin Heng rebuffed Fate’s demand to kill Hermoz and Dasiwoba, while the Evil Avatar rapidly absorbed the Blood Spirit Grand Array’s energy. Dijiang regained some of his power, leaving Hermoz badly outmatched.

• Lin Heng let Hermoz hear Dasiwoba’s dismissive words, and Dasiwoba realized Lin Heng had exposed his betrayal.
• Dasiwoba considered Lin Heng a growing threat, while Lin Heng decided not to act against him unless he continued to oppose him.
• Fate urged Lin Heng to kill Hermoz and Dasiwoba to create a beautiful world, but Lin Heng rejected the idea that slaughter could eliminate evil.
• The Evil Avatar reached the Late Eternal Realm after absorbing thirty percent of the Blood Spirit Grand Array’s energy and began overpowering the blood-colored skull.
• Dijiang recovered part of his power as the Evil Avatar suppressed the skull, struck Hermoz back hundreds of meters, and left him fearing defeat.

Dijiang defeated Hermoz but spared him at Lin Heng’s command, while Lin Heng’s Evil Avatar continued absorbing the Blood Spirit Grand Array. As the avatar’s power rose, Dasiwoba objected to Lin Heng letting it consume the array.

• Dijiang shattered Hermoz’s shield, disarmed him, and battered him with a hundred thousand sword rays.

• Dasiwoba objected to Lin Heng letting the Evil Avatar devour the array as its power rapidly increased.

Afterward, Hermoz apologized to his followers and secured their loyalty with spirit treasures, leaving Lin Heng and Dijiang to consider the danger posed by his changed mindset.

• Dasiwoba failed to persuade Hongjun to stop Lin Heng’s Evil Avatar from absorbing the Blood Spirit Grand Array’s malevolent thoughts, and the avatar reached Imperishable Realm Great Perfection.
• Lin Heng sent his Good Avatar into the array to absorb its remaining energy, while Hongjun left Hermoz to decide whether to object.
• Hermoz silently endured as Lin Heng’s Good Avatar absorbed the array’s energy and also reached Imperishable Realm Great Perfection.

• Dijiang wondered whether Lin Heng had spared Hermoz to play a game against Fate.

Lin Heng let Hermoz go, believing he could still use him in his plans against Fate, and gathered his allies to pursue the Pangu Axe’s final spirit treasure. Hermoz left with newfound confidence and a private threat for Lin Heng, while Dijiang received the Cosmic Net Seal and the Twelve Ancestral Witches reaffirmed their loyalty to Lin Heng.

• Lin Heng rejected Dijiang’s suggestion to kill Hermoz and urged everyone to return to the Eternal Ruins to seek the Pangu Axe’s axe soul.
• Hongjun led the other sea regions toward the Eternal Ruins, while the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea waited for Hermoz’s decision.
• Hermoz sent his subordinates ahead, privately told Lin Heng he no longer needed Mu Chen’s inheritance and would eventually claim his life, then departed.
• Lin Heng gave Dijiang the Cosmic Net Seal and promised top-tier spirit treasures to the Good and Evil Doppelgangers and any Ancestral Witches who reached the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm.
• Lin Heng decided to pursue the axe soul with the Good and Evil Doppelgangers, while Dijiang and the Ancestral Witches accompanied them as a deterrent.

Lin Heng arrived at the ninth level of the Eternal Ruins, where the experts of the Four Seas watched him warily as the Pangu Axe’s final spirit treasure emerged. After deterring them from attacking, Lin Heng obtained a new top-grade spirit treasure through the Sign-In System, then hesitated over whether to seize the axe soul as it appeared.

• Lin Heng and his companions arrived at the ninth level, where the axe soul had yet to emerge and the experts of the Four Seas treated them with hostility.
• Dijiang explained that the experts wanted to preserve their chance to become the Pangu Axe’s owner, so Lin Heng warned them that a bloody fight would cost many lives.
• Lin Heng signed in and obtained the Feather Cloud Nine Phoenix Saber, a versatile top-grade spirit treasure.
• The axe soul burst out of the bronze cauldron, and everyone watched Lin Heng’s group instead of making the first move.
• Lin Heng considered seizing the axe soul, knowing the others already had their attention fixed on him.

Lin Heng and his Good and Evil Doppelgangers endured the Four Seas experts’ combined assault, then claimed and fused all three Pangu Axe spirit treasures. After the axe accepted him as its master, Lin Heng discovered that its immense power came at the cost of consuming his energy.

• Lin Heng and his Good and Evil Doppelgangers used three top-tier spirit treasures to shield themselves from the Four Seas experts’ combined attack.
• Lin Heng seized the Pangu Axe’s axe soul and brought out its other two spirit treasures, which fused into the complete Pangu Axe.
• A Late Eternal Realm cultivator tried to take the axe, but the Evil Avatar killed him with the Fuxi Arrow.
• Lin Heng grasped the Pangu Axe, which accepted him as its master, and he tested it with a slash that shook the Eternal Ruins.
• Lin Heng realized the Pangu Axe had consumed twenty percent of his power with one strike and could drain him if he used it without restraint.

After Lin Heng obtained the Pangu Axe, Sun Zhe rallied the Four Seas experts to demand it, threatening a battle. Lin Heng proposed a wager instead, but no one dared to be the first to test him.

• Lin Heng put away the Pangu Axe after discovering that one strike had drained two-tenths of his strength.
• Sun Zhe and Chu Duanhun demanded the axe, but Lin Heng’s Evil Avatar threatened them with the Fuxi Bow and his Good Avatar displayed the Cosmic Net Seal.
• Sun Zhe declared that he would attack first, and the Four Seas experts turned hostile toward the three Lin Hengs.
• Lin Yue Yao considered intervening but stayed back while Hongjun, Dasiwoba, and Hermoz watched.
• Lin Heng offered to give up the Pangu Axe to anyone who could withstand three of his moves, promising not to use the axe.
• The Four Seas experts hesitated to accept Lin Heng’s challenge because none wanted to be the first to face him.

Lin Heng offered to give up the Pangu Axe if someone could withstand three of his moves, and the Four Seas cultivators pushed Sun Zhe forward to test him. Lin Heng’s first sword beam struck Sun Zhe’s shield with power left by Mu Chen, leaving everyone stunned as the attack’s force became clear.

• Lin Heng proposed giving the Pangu Axe to anyone who could withstand three moves, and the cultivators hesitated to volunteer.
• Fang Tianleng and the other experts urged Sun Zhe to go first, while Chu Duanhun joined them and pressured him into accepting.
• Sun Zhe stepped forward and raised his defenses as Lin Heng drew Eternal Ages.
• Lin Heng unleashed a blue sword beam that slammed into Sun Zhe’s shield and sent a shockwave across the ninth floor of the Eternal Ruins.
• Hermoz recognized the sword beam as power Mu Chen had left Lin Heng, and the Lords of the Four Seas realized Lin Heng had not exhausted it before.

Lin Heng used Mu Chen's remaining power in Eternal Ages to nearly shatter Sun Zhe's shield, forcing Sun Zhe to concede. When Chu Duanhun proposed wearing Lin Heng down, Lin Heng warned that his next attack would be stronger, and Chu Duanhun offered to take the lead in exchange for compensation.

• Lin Heng struck Sun Zhe's shield with Eternal Ages, nearly breaking it with a fraction of Mu Chen's power.
• Sun Zhe admitted defeat and withdrew, leaving the other Four Seas experts to decide who would challenge Lin Heng next.
• The Evil Avatar taunted the experts for hesitating over the Pangu Axe.
• Chu Duanhun proposed taking turns to exhaust Mu Chen's power, but Lin Heng warned that his next attack would be stronger.
• Chu Duanhun volunteered to take the lead and demanded compensation for the risk.

Lin Heng unleashed the power of the Eternal Ages against Chu Duanhun, who had volunteered to exhaust Lin Heng’s strength on Dasiwoba’s orders. As Dijiang prevented Dasiwoba from intervening, Chu Duanhun was driven to his knees beneath Lin Heng’s sword beam.

• Dasiwoba had ordered Chu Duanhun to challenge Lin Heng so the others could take the Pangu Axe without letting Lin Heng grow stronger.
• The Four Seas experts gave Chu Duanhun a storage ring of benefits, and he accepted their payment before challenging Lin Heng.
• Lin Heng decided to unleash enough of Mu Chen’s remaining power to frighten the others and swung the Eternal Ages at Chu Duanhun.
• Chu Duanhun raised a black shield and dark blue armor, but Lin Heng’s blue sword beam crushed his defenses and forced him to his knees.
• Dijiang blocked Dasiwoba from helping Chu Duanhun, arguing that their confrontation was separate from the struggle over the Pangu Axe.

Chu Duanhun died after refusing to disperse his cultivation, and Dasiwoba carried his body away from the Eternal Ruins. Hongjun ended the confrontation by allowing Lin Heng to take the Pangu Axe, while Hermoz stayed behind with an enigmatic smile.

• Eternal Ages shattered Chu Duanhun's barrier and left him gravely wounded with Sword Qi throughout his body.
• Lin Heng warned Dasiwoba that touching Chu Duanhun would trigger the Sword Qi and said Chu Duanhun had to disperse his cultivation to survive.
• Dasiwoba promised to protect Chu Duanhun, but Chu Duanhun refused to live as a mortal and died after forcing his energy to circulate.
• Dasiwoba carried Chu Duanhun's body out of the Eternal Ruins, and the Western Celebratory Demon Sea followed him.
• Hongjun called off the battle and told Lin Heng to take the Pangu Axe; Lin Heng departed with his allies, followed by the other groups.
• Hermoz remained until last and watched the others leave with an enigmatic smile.

After Lin Heng claimed the Pangu Axe, Fate revealed that he was guiding Hermoz and predicted Lin Heng would not be the one to break through in a month. Hermoz agreed to follow Fate’s instructions, while Lin Heng celebrated his victory with Dijiang and the others in the Heavenly Star Sea Region.

• After the other cultivators left the Eternal Ruins, Hermoz remarked that no more supreme spiritual treasures would appear in the Primordial Chaos Universe, then returned to his palace and rewarded his subordinates.
• Fate appeared before Hermoz and said Lin Heng would not be the one to reach the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm in a month, despite having obtained all three Pangu Axe spiritual treasures.
• Fate told Hermoz to grow close to Lin Heng and casually tell him about Primordial Chaos, promising that Hermoz could eventually lead the lords of the Four Seas.
• Hermoz decided to cooperate with Fate because he wanted to replace Hongjun.
• At a banquet in the Heavenly Star Sea Region, Lin Heng explained that the Pangu Axe drained his energy and limited him to a few attacks, prompting the others to look toward Dijiang as a possible wielder.

Lin Heng and his companions tested the Pangu Axe and learned that even Dijiang could only wield it for a desperate attack. Hermoz visited Lin Heng under the pretext of apologizing to Liu Ling'er, but Lin Heng suspected he had another purpose; over wine, Hermoz began probing him and recounted Primordial Chaos’s merciless punishment of a former demon sea lord.

• Dijiang struck the sea with the Pangu Axe, then said its power would drain even him if he used it in an ordinary battle.
• Dijiang and the others suggested Lin Heng might wield the axe freely after reaching the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm with a five-layered cosmic world.
• Hermoz arrived, apologized for sending people after Liu Ling'er, and said he hoped she would forgive him.
• Lin Heng invited Hermoz to the palace, where they drank and talked, and he suspected the apology was a pretext to approach him.
• Hermoz said Primordial Chaos treated Lin Heng uniquely and described how the former lord of the Western Celebratory Demon Sea had his cultivation crippled and soul destroyed for offending him.

Hermoz tried to turn Lin Heng and the Twelve Ancestral Witches against Primordial Chaos by recalling Mu Chen’s defeat and stirring their grievances. He left after the witches voiced their anger, leaving Lin Heng to face their unsettled feelings.

• Hermoz told Lin Heng how Primordial Chaos had once destroyed the lord of the Western Celebratory Demon Sea, and Lin Heng suspected Fate had sent Hermoz to win him over.
• Lin Heng and the Evil Avatar challenged Hermoz’s complaints about Primordial Chaos, so Hermoz dropped the subject when the wine-fetcher returned.
• As they drank, Hermoz praised Mu Chen and suggested the Four Seas would be different if he were still alive, stirring the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ memories.
• Zhu Rong, Tian Wu, Gonggong, and other witches blamed Fate and speculated that Primordial Chaos had feared Mu Chen’s potential.
• Hermoz claimed an urgent matter required his return to the Eastern Victorious Divine Sea and left, while Lin Heng turned back to the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Lin Heng faced pressure from the Twelve Ancestral Witches to demand answers from Primordial Chaos, with Dijiang proposing an alliance with Fate to force the truth out. After weighing the risks and his ambitions for a sixth-layer universe, Lin Heng remained undecided and gave himself time to consider.

• Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches asked Lin Heng to seek an explanation from Primordial Chaos about the past.
• Dijiang proposed working with Fate to make Primordial Chaos reveal the truth, while avoiding helping Fate destroy the Primordial Chaos Universe.
• Lin Heng promised to give the Twelve Ancestral Witches an answer within three days and left with the Good and Evil Doppelgangers.
• In his room, Lin Heng told the Good Avatar that he trusted Primordial Chaos but understood why the Ancestral Witches remained resentful.
• The Good Avatar pointed out that reaching the sixth-layer universe might eventually require contact with Fate, but Lin Heng said he still needed to consider the danger of working with Fate.

A mysterious woman from the Fate Clan told Lin Heng that Fate was her clan’s traitor and urged him to wait until he had seen the stone paintings in the Eternal Ruins before choosing sides. Lin Heng resolved to investigate Mu Chen’s death and declare war on either Primordial Chaos or Fate if either was responsible, while Dijiang kept Fate’s warning secret and began doubting its intentions.

• Lin Heng met a mysterious woman on an uninhabited island, and she said her clan sought to erase Fate and restore peace to the Primordial Chaos Universe.
• The woman told Lin Heng to consider his choice after seeing the stone paintings in the Eternal Ruins and said she would return when the ruins disappeared.
• After three days, Lin Heng summoned the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Good and Evil Doppelgangers and vowed to uncover the truth about Mu Chen’s death.
• Lin Heng said either Primordial Chaos or Fate could have been behind Mu Chen’s death, though he had no conclusive evidence.
• Dijiang asked what Lin Heng had learned but kept Fate’s warning to himself, then regretted helping Fate persuade Lin Heng.

Lin Heng asked Primordial Chaos about Fate and whether it could be destroyed, but Primordial Chaos admitted he knew no way to do so. They discussed the Eternal Ruins and Lin Heng’s future cultivation path, leaving Lin Heng still undecided about which road to take.

• Lin Heng visited Primordial Chaos in the fifth-layer world and asked what he knew about Fate.
• Primordial Chaos explained that Fate watched over beings beyond the control of destiny, including Lin Heng and Mu Chen, and gave them opportunities to grow.
• Lin Heng asked how to obliterate Fate, but Primordial Chaos said he had never seen Fate’s true form and knew no way to defeat it.
• Primordial Chaos suggested that he and Lin Heng might find a way to restrain Fate if Lin Heng eventually formed a five-layer universe, but Lin Heng chose not to rely on that hope.
• Lin Heng and Primordial Chaos discussed the Eternal Ruins and Lin Heng’s likely breakthrough with the Pangu Axe, then Primordial Chaos asked which path Lin Heng would choose for perfecting his fifth-layer universe.
