Chapter Summaries

Li Changsheng reflected on the shattered laws that prevented anyone from becoming a Great Emperor and hoped Ji Zining could restore them by breaking through. After sleeping until the third day, Ji Zining woke to find two sign-in opportunities available and ordered the system to use both.

• Li Changsheng recalled that Empress Linglong and the ancient Great Emperors had defeated a creature beyond the Great Emperor Realm, but their victory had permanently shattered the laws and made Great Emperor breakthroughs impossible.
• Li Changsheng believed Ji Zining's extraordinary strength might let her reach the Great Emperor Realm and restore the laws across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
• Ji Zining woke in Qingming City and learned from the system that two sign-in opportunities had accumulated while she slept.
• Ji Zining ignored the system's recommendation and requested two consecutive sign-ins.

• After recovering, Ji Zining opened the hall doors and met Xiao Jing, who told her that Mo Shang had arrived in Qingming City the previous day.

Ji Zining learned that Mo Shang had arrived in Qingming City gravely wounded and found three powerful forces ravaging his body and soul. She ordered his disciples to make way so she could try to remove them, while suspecting Ao Xue and Huang Xi had helped inflict the injuries.
