After Tu Tian left Martial Star, Yin Zhu persuaded him to use the Yin Star's Star Core to accelerate time on Martial Star and prepare a Demigod attack on Ning Chuan. Ning Chuan recognized the space-time seal and realized it would disrupt others' cultivation, but his own cultivation method remained unaffected.

• Viewers reacted to Tu Tian's departure and speculated about Ning Chuan's future title and strength.
• Yin Zhu urged Tu Tian to send a Demigod to kill Ning Chuan, but Tu Tian said he could not do so until Martial Star recovered further.
• Yin Zhu decided to sacrifice the Yin Star's Star Core, even if it meant no new life would ever be born on Yin Star, to secure Ning Chuan's death.
• Yin Zhu used the Star Core to seal Martial Star in altered space-time, making three years pass there for every ten days outside and cutting off access to the Universe Origin.
• Ning Chuan deduced that Yin Zhu had imposed the seal to hinder his cultivation and give Tu Tian time to send a powerful Demigod, but he realized he could continue improving under the seal.

Ning Chuan used the accelerated time on Martial Star to cultivate, advancing four Laws that formed the Great Dao of Destruction to the Nebula Realm while continuing to strengthen his body. After spending peaceful days sightseeing with his companions, he stayed at Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, where Yu Wei and Shen Yourong offered to attend to him at the hot spring.

• Ning Chuan discovered that Star Core fragments could not release their power in accelerated spacetime, then used a ball of origin power to boost his Great Dao of Destruction's comprehension by 3,000 times.
• The Federation explained the crisis on Martial Star to the public, and order gradually stabilized under Ning Chuan's protection.
• After the origin power dissipated, Ning Chuan saw that the Heaven-Opening, World-Destroying, Mystic Slaughter, and World-Overturning Laws had reached the Nebula Realm.
• Ning Chuan spent the following days sightseeing with Qin Ya, Lu Mengyue, Bai Xiuxiu, Luo Qin, and Su Yun while his body cultivation continued to improve.
• At Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, Yu Wei and Shen Yourong approached Ning Chuan and invited him to use the hot spring, with Yu Wei offering to have someone attend to him.

Ning Chuan learned that Yin Zhu had sealed Martial Star and would bring a powerful Demigod there in about three years, while Huang Wu relayed warnings and sent him two Dao Arts. As Huang Wu’s parting gift, she sent a large mass of the Great Dao of No Chaos’s Origin power, giving Ning Chuan enough time to advance it to the Nebula Realm.

• Ning Chuan investigated a vortex forming above Martial Star and realized Huang Wu had opened it, causing his Great Dao of No Chaos to comprehend fragments of profound artistic conception.
• Jiang Luoshui spoke through the vortex and warned Ning Chuan that Yin Zhu had sealed Martial Star with Yin Star’s Star Core and that Tu Tian could send a nearly Marquis-Bestowing Demigod there after roughly three years on Martial Star.
• Huang Wu relayed that the Universe First Cultivator Bank had sent Ning Chuan the Furnace Heavenly Art and Heavenly Dao Art.
• The vortex sent Ning Chuan two Martial Seals before shrinking, and he regretted that the brief exposure to the Origin power was not enough to advance his Great Dao of No Chaos to the Nebula Realm.
• Huang Wu sent a large mass of the Origin power of the Great Dao of No Chaos, raising Ning Chuan’s cultivation speed to 4,200 times and giving him one year and eight months to comprehend it.

After three years of quiet cultivation, Ning Chuan faced the Divine Kingdom’s attack as the space-time region around Martial Star ended. Yin Zhu sent Nie Yang, empowered by Yin Star’s Star Core, down the Ancient Pilgrimage Path to kill him, and Nie Yang charged toward Ning Chuan.

• Ning Chuan’s Great Dao cultivation advanced rapidly while Martial Star’s revival continued, though space-time power still prevented cultivation there.
• Yin Wuzhou asked Yin Zhu to let him descend to Martial Star and fight Ning Chuan, but Yin Zhu refused and said he would strengthen Nie Yang instead.
• Yin Zhu warned that Martial Star’s full revival could draw the attention of rival hegemonic powers, and Mystic King agreed to focus on developing All Saints Manor.
• As Martial Star’s lockdown ended, Yin Zhu unleashed Yin Star’s Star Core along the Ancient Pilgrimage Path, and Nie Yang rushed toward Ning Chuan in the Bright Blood Divine Armor.
• Ning Chuan calmly waited at the path’s far end, while Nie Yang suppressed his fear and charged at him.

Ning Chuan confronted Nie Yang, a Demigod strengthened by the Bright Blood Divine Armor, and killed him with a single sword strike. As Martial Star’s defenses faded, Yin Zhu demanded to know how Ning Chuan had reached the Nebula Realm, and Ning Chuan left him with a mocking answer before the black mist swallowed the Ancient Pilgrimage Path.

• Nie Yang charged into the region near Martial Star, vowing to kill Ning Chuan as viewers watched the battle.
• Ning Chuan used the Great Dao of No Chaos and concealed his power behind nine First-Grade Laws as he faced Nie Yang with one hand.
• Ning Chuan’s single sword strike erased Nie Yang’s attack, Bright Blood Divine Armor, and body.
• Tu Tian laughed, stopped maintaining the Ancient Pilgrimage Path, and told Ning Chuan he would be waiting to fight him.
• Yin Zhu demanded to know how Ning Chuan had advanced to the Nebula Realm, and Ning Chuan replied with mocking explanations before entering the spatial vortex.

After Ning Chuan’s victory over Nie Yang made him a focus across the Universe, he assessed the threats to Martial Star and prepared to explore the stars while keeping the planet protected. He planned to leave a Desolate Body behind and chose to remain within his native Universe rather than venture to its dangerous, distant border wilderness.

• Beings across the Universe discussed Ning Chuan’s strength and Martial Star, prompting powerful factions to investigate the rumor that obtaining the planet could lead to Immortality.
• Ning Chuan raised the taxes and fees charged to the visiting factions and concluded that Yin Zhu had given up seeking more Immortals to attack him.
• Ning Chuan considered whether the Yin Family was expanding All Saints Manor to prepare for Martial Star’s full revival and make allies among talented cultivators.
• Ning Chuan decided to leave Martial Star with a Desolate Body guarding the Federation, deterring visitors, and continuing his lucrative livestream.
• Ning Chuan rejected the Universe’s border wilderness as too dangerous and distant, deciding that his native Universe was a safer place to seek Immortals and observe their Great Daos.

Ning Chuan learned that the Supreme Divine Hall's inheritance had opened and entered it, where he reunited with Master Lou. Examining Master Lou, Ning Chuan discovered a faint Rule-level aura and asked if he was a True God.

• 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 entered the inheritance and found more than ten Sea Realm mechas pursuing Master Lou near the bronze gate.
• Ning Chuan stopped the pursuit, dismissed the mechas, and greeted Master Lou, who joked about once giving Ning Chuan nearly eighty thousand yuan.
• 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.

Master Lou revealed that he had prepared for the Great Dao of Chaos’s return, but Ning Chuan’s strength had made his plans unnecessary. 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.

• Master Lou explained that his Divine Seals had been shattered in the world-ending battle and that the Supreme Divine Hall had assigned him to prepare for the possible return of Martial Star’s Great Dao of Chaos.
• Ning Chuan assessed his strength, saying he could contend with the strongest Marquis-Bestowing experts, and Master Lou lamented that his preparations were no longer needed.
• Ning Chuan resonated with the bronze doors using the Ultimate Weapon Art, and he and Master Lou entered an ancient hall containing forty-nine stone pillars and a mass of flowing light.
• Ning Chuan touched the light, which was the origin qi of chaos, and the Furnace Heavenly Art comprehended all forty-nine First-Grade Laws and opened the Great Dao of Chaos.
• 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.
• Master Lou urged Ning Chuan to enter the Star Core, where he could seek the Great Dao of Chaos and cultivate, and warned that the Star Core might reappear at any time.
• 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 intercepted two agents sent by the Mystic King to curse Federation civilians and disrupt his cultivation. After killing Yin Shanyun and making the surviving scout publicly insult the Mystic King on his livestream, Ning Chuan faced the Mystic King himself, who appeared outside Martial Star.

• 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.
• The Blood Mystic Army scout confessed that the Mystic King had ordered him and Yin Shanyun to curse Federation civilians to hinder Ning Chuan's cultivation.
• Ning Chuan spared the scout temporarily and prompted him to insult the Mystic King on the livestream, entertaining viewers and drawing widespread discussion.
• The Mystic King appeared outside Martial Star's atmosphere and glared at Ning Chuan and the scout with killing intent.

Ning Chuan taunted Mystic King with his certainty of becoming a True God, then killed the scout who had insulted Mystic King at his command. 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.
