• Ning Chuan considered how to advance his Great Daos and grow strong enough to rival a True God, then resolved to proceed patiently.
• The Supreme Hall reported that the dormant bronze gate of the Supreme Divine Hall's inheritance had begun radiating divine light.

• Ning Chuan examined Master Lou with his Eye Divine Treasures and Great Daos, sensed a Rule-level aura, and asked whether Master Lou was a True God.

Inside the ancient hall, Ning Chuan comprehended the Great Dao of Chaos to Heaven Realm Perfection and took control of the origin qi of chaos, leaving Master Lou stunned.

• The Great Dao of Chaos rapidly advanced to Heaven Realm Perfection, and Ning Chuan sensed that the origin qi of chaos contained part of the Supreme Divine Hall’s remaining foundation.
• After Master Lou told him to use the Chaos Law to control the origin qi, Ning Chuan used the Great Dao of Chaos to command it instantly, shocking Master Lou.

Ning Chuan obtained the Primordial Heavenly Scripture and a Chaos Law comprehension token, which could accelerate his cultivation to Demigod Perfection and help him approach True Godhood. Master Lou explained that the Supreme Divine Hall had sacrificed its members’ Great Daos to restore Martial Star’s Innate Great Dao of Chaos, and revealed that the ancient Immortals had gambled on someone like Ning Chuan appearing.

• Master Lou identified one token as the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, a combat-focused Dao Art that required the Chaos Law at the Upper Three Realms.
• Ning Chuan used the second token and learned that it increased his Chaos Law cultivation speed 12,000-fold and could support cultivation to Demigod Perfection.
• Master Lou explained that the token had been made from the fused Chaos Rules and profound intent realms of Supreme Divine Hall Immortals killed by Yin Star.
• Ning Chuan learned that the first hall master and the other surviving experts had sacrificed their Great Daos and Rules to help restore Martial Star’s Innate Great Dao of Chaos.
• Master Lou said the first hall master’s decision had seemed mad, but meeting Ning Chuan showed him that the Immortals had won their gamble; Ning Chuan asked what gamble he meant.

Master Lou explained that Martial Star’s experts sacrificed themselves to the Great Dao to restore the universe’s power, and that the defense mechanism would eventually merge into the Great Dao of Chaos. He warned Ning Chuan that the Star Core could reappear at any time, leaving Ning Chuan to ask about the Origins left behind by Yin Star’s Immortals.

• Master Lou told Ning Chuan that Martial Star chose to sacrifice itself to the Dao rather than retreat and recover, despite being unable to glimpse the outcome of that gamble.
• Master Lou suspected Ning Chuan had been the unknown factor that obscured the Immortals’ vision of the future.
• Master Lou explained that Martial Star’s defense mechanism would gradually merge into the Great Dao of Chaos and that outsiders could not enter the Star Core unless they destroyed it.

• Ning Chuan asked Master Lou whether Yin Star’s Immortals had left their Origins behind after Martial Star’s experts destroyed their ancestral star.

Ning Chuan learned from Master Lou that Yin Zhu might have stored the Great Dao origins taken from slain Immortals at a fixed location, then predicted that Martial Star would not fully recover for at least one or two years. He prepared to leave Martial Star and planned to raise his Chaos Law before pursuing a Great Dao origin from the Yin Family.

• Master Lou told Ning Chuan that Yin Zhu likely possessed the Great Dao origins reclaimed by Yin Star and may have kept them somewhere safe rather than in Yin Star's Star Core.
• Ning Chuan left the Dao inheritance and reflected on the powerful Immortals and rulers who would eventually descend upon Martial Star.
• Ning Chuan used the Heavenly Dao Art and Great Dao of Heavenly Fate to predict Martial Star's recovery, then extended his vision with the Supreme Heavenly Gate.
• Ning Chuan predicted that Martial Star would probably not fully recover for one or two years and felt he had time to venture into the universe.
• Ning Chuan used a fragment of Yin Star's Star Core to alter the flow of time around himself and began preparing to raise his Chaos Law to the Nebula Realm.

• Ning Chuan detected two suspicious cultivators carrying curse implements and pursued them across Martial Star.
• Ning Chuan identified Yin Shanyun as a Yin Family descendant and killed him after he denied being part of the Mystic King's operation.

After ending his secluded cultivation, Ning Chuan surveyed the retreating Myriad Stars Divine Kingdom fleet and spotted Mystic King and his despondent son Yin Wuzhou inside the Sun Core.

• Mystic King confronted Ning Chuan over having a scout insult him, and Ning Chuan mocked Mystic King with his promise to become a True God.
• Mystic King warned that the kingdom lord and the Heaven-Slaying Immortal would crush Ning Chuan if he ever left Martial Star, then returned to the Sun Core.
• Ning Chuan told the scout to stop speaking and wiped him out, judging that he could not be allowed to live after endangering Federation humans.
• The next day, Ning Chuan ended his secluded cultivation after advancing the Chaos Law to the Nebula Realm, using two Star Core fragments to seal spacetime.
• Ning Chuan surveyed the retreating fleet with his Divine Treasures and saw Mystic King cultivating and Yin Wuzhou lying dejected in a hall.

Ning Chuan learned that the Sun Core would depart in five days and that the All Saints Manor held a drop of God King blood essence. After weighing the risks of sneaking aboard directly, he chose to leave Martial Star through an Ancient Pilgrimage Path near the Sun Core’s route.

• Ning Chuan overheard soldiers aboard the Sun Core discussing the Blazing Sun Army’s uncertain future and the Black Heaven Demonic Ape’s hope of transferring to the All Saints Manor.
• The Black Heaven Demonic Ape explained that he wanted to join the All Saints Manor for better opportunities, though he could not compete for its God King blood essence.
• Ning Chuan considered whether the God King blood essence could benefit his Divine Treasure but kept the Great Dao’s source as his priority.
• Ning Chuan calculated that Immortals or top True Gods might detect a direct escape from Martial Star, so he decided to use the Ancient Pilgrimage Path.
• Ning Chuan entered the Ancient Pilgrimage Path, whose hub lay near the Sun Core’s return route.

Ning Chuan left Martial Star through the Ancient Pilgrimage Path after discovering he could control part of its defense mechanism and pass through its defenses freely. He reached the Azure Sky Domain, beyond Martial Star’s galaxy, and set out for the Blazing Sun Army’s return route, ready to make his mark across the stars.

• Ning Chuan resonated with the Great Dao of Chaos and gained limited control over Martial Star’s defense mechanism, while learning he could return without restriction.
• Ning Chuan passed unseen through the central hub and avoided a fate-based probe that marked Martial Star’s native life-forms.
• Ning Chuan emerged into the Azure Sky Domain and recognized the immense scale of the universe beyond Martial Star.
• Ning Chuan headed toward the Blazing Sun Army’s return route, declaring that the sea of stars would rise and surge because of him.

Ning Chuan infiltrated the Blazing Sun Army’s Sun Core, killed the Black Heaven Demonic Ape, and took his place to gather intelligence. While patrolling the recreation zone, he learned that Yin Wuzhou was despondent over Ning Chuan’s victory and suspected Yin Wuzhou might know whether the Yin Family possessed the Great Dao of Space-Time origin.

• Ning Chuan secretly entered the Sun Core and reached the barracks where the Black Heaven Demonic Ape was cultivating.
• Ning Chuan killed the Black Heaven Demonic Ape, copied his body and soul, and took his uniform and identity.
• Ning Chuan joined the Black Heaven Demonic Ape’s patrol and began probing the thoughts of soldiers in the recreation zone for information.
• Ning Chuan saw Yin Wuzhou leaving a bar and learned from the soldiers’ private conversation that Yin Wuzhou was shaken by Ning Chuan’s defeat of Army Commander Nie Yang.
• Ning Chuan inferred that Yin Wuzhou’s mastery of the Time Law might make him knowledgeable about the Yin Family’s Great Dao of Space-Time origin, then watched him enter the hall where the Mystic King was staying.
