Jiang Zhe gave Black Star to Great Axe Founder to study, then sent him through a Silver Key Gate toward Black Star Ancestral God's collapsed universe. The rival True Gods abandoned their plan to intercept Infinite Sovereign, while Jiang Zhe studied Mystic Vein Diagrams and created a fifth-rank arcane technique, A Ray of Heavenly Light.

• Jiang Zhe landed on an orbiting stone platform, examined two Bronze Pillars, and searched for the Thunder-Time Mystic Vein Diagrams.

Jiang Zhe studied the Land of Dusk’s platform trajectories and realized they formed a framework for constructing Micro-Universes with Mystic Vein Diagrams. After Peng Demon King imprinted the completed diagrams on a bronze pillar, it swallowed him, leaving Jiang Zhe facing the hostile attention of the gathered Cosmic Lords.

• Jiang Zhe tried imprinting his Arc Light technique on a bronze pillar, while Lord of Calamity God warned that countless others had failed to provoke a reaction.
• Jiang Zhe reviewed Lord of Calamity God’s research and obtained Lord of Thunder Ridge’s survey map, which led him and Oriana to suspect the Land of Dusk’s platforms followed the pattern of a celestial system.

• Peng Demon King imprinted the diagrams on a bronze pillar, which shone gold and pulled him inside as the Dusk Plaza shook.
• The Cosmic Lords identified Peng Demon King as the one who triggered the pillar and turned their hostile attention toward Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe fought off a mass assault by Cosmic Lords seeking the Land of Dusk’s secrets, killing many with his Scepter of Annihilation and gaining new puppets. He withdrew his domain when three God-Eye True Lords arrived, leaving him to face a more formidable confrontation.

• The Third and Fourth True Lords combined their Supreme Treasures and secret techniques into the Star True God, but its attacks could not move Jiang Zhe.
• Jiang Zhe rolled over and knocked the Star True God flying, delaying the Third and Fourth True Lords as they raced to aid the Sixth True Lord.

• Jiang Zhe took the Hall of Heroic Spirits from the Zhuzhao Avatar Incarnation and asked Great Axe Founder what he thought of the proposed talks.

Humanity negotiated with the God-Eye Race over the Sixth True Lord and learned that the Land of Dusk had been an ancient cultivation trial ground. The chapter then revealed Peng Demon King's arrival at another plaza, where the intelligent computer Lord Cat questioned why he had remained a Law Venerable.

• Jiang Zhe and Great Axe Founder persuaded the Human Race leaders to seek a costly peace with the God-Eye Race rather than risk retaliation against their allies.

• Peng Demon King arrived at a plaza with eight Bronze Pillars depicting Beast Gods, where an illusory cat introduced itself as Lord Cat.
• Lord Cat asked why Peng Demon King had stayed at the Law Venerable stage, and Peng Demon King explained that he sought an Ancient Civilization Legacy and wanted to pursue the Divine Power Path.

Peng Demon Jiang Zhe learned that the Land of Dusk was the Beast God Platform, which could guide cultivation along the Divine Power Path, and accepted its test. After defeating the cat puppet with his techniques and evading its seventh-rank attack, he earned the Illusory Great Cat’s promise to provide whatever it possessed if he met its next standard.

• Peng Demon Jiang Zhe questioned the Illusory Great Cat about the general’s legacy and learned that the Beast God Platform specialized in guiding members through Fusion Laws and cultivation.

• The puppet broke free with a seventh-rank attack, but Peng Demon Jiang Zhe evaded it using his Innate Arcane Technique, Free Wanderer.
• The Illusory Great Cat acknowledged Peng Demon Jiang Zhe’s performance and offered to give him whatever he desired if he met its next requirements.

Peng Demon Jiang Zhe learned the Beast God Platform’s trial rules and persuaded the Illusory Great Cat to keep it open through the end of the Reincarnation Era. Back in the Virtual Universe, he shared the entry requirements and available methods with the Human Race, which began considering how to reach the trial and whether to trade with the God-Eye Race.

• The Illusory Great Cat told Peng Demon Jiang Zhe to rebuild his foundation in the Thunder and Time Fusion Laws and explained that creating higher-ranked arcane techniques would unlock valuable rewards.

• Jiang Zhe recommended trading with the God-Eye Race, arguing that withholding the information could make the Human Race a target while few others could meet the trial’s entry requirements.

Jiang Zhe negotiated with the God-Eye Race over entry to the Land of Dusk and traded a simplified Micro-Universe Mystic Vein Diagram for their Combined Attack Secret Technique. After the First True Master ambushed him with the Heaven-Propping White Jade Pillar, Jiang Zhe survived and teleported away, promising to settle the grudge later.

• Jiang Zhe teleported away after vowing to repay the First True Master for the attack.

Jiang Zhe escaped the First True Master, returned to the Primal Universe, and set his clones to creating stronger techniques while Peng Demon King began studying the mysterious Tier Ten Pyramid. News of the Land of Dusk spread through the Cosmic Sea and Primal Universe, prompting rival powers to pressure humanity for the way in, and the Great Axe Council debated how to respond.

• Jiang Zhe left a Silver Key Mark near the Land of Dusk and decided to return to the Primal Universe to obtain Blood God Children for dangerous exploration.
• Jiang Zhe kept the Emerald Eye Divine Light, sent it into his Realm, and began refining the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors while assigning his bodies and clones to create new techniques.

• Chaos City Lord informed the Great Axe Council that other races were pressuring humanity for the entry method and asked what they should do.

Jiang Zhe persuaded the Human Race to trade access to the Land of Dusk rather than face a united front, then met the assembled powers to negotiate. The talks ended with Flame Emperor threatening to exterminate the Human Race, leaving Jiang Zhe and his allies ready to respond.

• Jiang Zhe convinced Great Axe Founder and the Human Race’s Cosmic Lords that the Land of Dusk’s inheritances were not worth provoking every power, and Great Axe Founder agreed to trade the entry method for treasures.

• Flame Emperor threatened that the allied powers would join forces to destroy the Human Race, provoking Jiang Zhe, Chaos City Lord, and Peng Gong Lord.

Jiang Zhe used the Demon Avatar’s Willpower Attack and the Scepter of Annihilation’s puppet legion to defeat the alien leaders who had attacked him, then demanded thirty Apex Treasures in exchange for the method of entering the Land of Dusk. After several powers agreed to trade, Jiang Zhe told Chaos City Lord that the most coveted inheritances there would be extremely difficult for others to obtain, but he intended to claim them himself.

• Flame Emperor threatened to exterminate the Human Race, so Jiang Zhe’s Demon Avatar used a Willpower Attack to make him collapse unconscious.
• Jiang Zhe’s Second Primordial Spirit and Demon Avatar teleported into the opposing camp, where the alien leaders and Cosmic Lords attacked them with their strongest techniques.
• Jiang Zhe summoned twenty-two puppets and unleashed A Line of Heavenly Light, killing or injuring many Cosmic Lords and leaving Black Universe Creator and the North Frontier Alliance Leader battered.

After distributing treasures and years of cultivation passed, his Blood God Child Clone reached the Wind Thunder Platform.

• Jiang Zhe completed a thirty-Apex-Treasure deal with the alien powers, who pooled the cost after the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Mechanical Race were pressured to contribute.
• Jiang Zhe refused to hand over a Strongest Innate Arcane Technique and listed other ways the alien powers could seek one; the three Cosmic Overlords then departed to pursue their own leads.
• Jiang Zhe teleported away with Chaos City Lord and Peng Gong Lord, while the remaining alien Cosmic Lords discussed the Human Race's growing power and their plans to investigate the Land of Dusk.
• Jiang Zhe took ten of the thirty-two Apex Treasures for gifts to his senior sister and teachers, reserving the rest for the company treasury and the clan.
• Over three hundred years passed as powers across the Primal Universe and Cosmic Sea found ways into the Beast God Platform, while Jiang Zhe's Peng Demon Clone continued creating techniques there.
• Jiang Zhe's Blood God Child Clone arrived at the Wind Thunder Platform, where violent lightning filled the pool below and immense stone platforms hung between the wind and lightning domains.

Jiang Zhe studied the Mystic Vein Diagram on a stone platform in the Universe Boat and realized it could record and reproduce, inspiring him to combine it with his own arcane techniques. He learned that the Wind Thunder Platform was actually the General Conferment Platform, and the Illusory Great Cat hinted that its old mirror-image challenges could still be relevant.

• Jiang Zhe disguised himself as North Prison Lord, teleported to the Wind Thunder Platform, and began studying the Mystic Vein Diagram engraved on its floor tiles.
• Jiang Zhe discovered that he could not imprint the diagram into the Virtual Universe and chose to remain there to comprehend it himself.
• Jiang Zhe saw the complete diagram and concluded that it functioned as a mirror capable of recording and reproducing, which reminded him of Demon Mirror Lord and Zuo Shan Ke's plans for a White Bone Round Mirror.
• Jiang Zhe decided to combine the diagram's recording-and-reproduction effects with his Thunder-Time Fusion Law techniques.
• Peng Demon Jiang Zhe asked the Illusory Great Cat about the Wind Thunder Platform, and it identified the site as the General Conferment Platform, where crew members once fought recorded mirror images to demonstrate their potential.
• The Illusory Great Cat hinted that Jiang Zhe might challenge the Wu Kingdom Heroes of old.

Peng Demon Jiang Zhe created a fifth-rank Soul Enslavement technique and exchanged his reward for a Universe Boat Crew insignia, then selected four legacies and training resources.

• Peng Demon Jiang Zhe negotiated with the Illusory Great Cat to receive a Crew insignia as the reward for creating a fifth-rank arcane technique.
• Peng Demon Jiang Zhe created a fifth-rank illusion-type Soul Enslavement technique called Brocade World, and the Illusory Great Cat gave him the prepared insignia.

• At the Great Axe Divine Hall, the Cosmic Lords examined Jiang Zhe’s four rewards and reacted with excitement at the prospect of becoming Cosmic Overlords.

Jiang Zhe urged the Human Race’s Cosmic Lords to prepare carefully for becoming True Gods and was given a seat befitting his status. He then summoned Silver Eyes to study his Time Law-related Innate Arcane Technique, promising treasure, research insights, and freedom in return for cooperation.

• Jiang Zhe estimated that systematic cultivation could help the Human Race produce nearly a hundred Cosmic Overlords by the end of the Reincarnation Era, then warned the Cosmic Lords to prepare their Minor Universes safely.
• The Human Race leaders moved Jiang Zhe to a prominent seat at the Great Axe Council, and he returned to his Plane Space to organize inheritances and continue developing a Sixth-Rank Arcane Technique.
• Jiang Zhe asked Oriana to contact Yikou Venerable Zi and obtain Silver Eyes so he could analyze the Special Life Form’s Time Law-related Innate Arcane Technique.
• Venerable Jiufeng escorted Yikou Venerable Zi and Silver Eyes to Thunder Emperor City, where Yikou Venerable Zi exchanged her Heavy Treasure Set for a chance to receive an inheritance.
• Silver Eyes met Jiang Zhe, agreed to cooperate with his research, and was told to carve out the silver eye on his forehead for analysis.

Silver Eyes was freed after cooperating with Jiang Zhe’s research and joined Thunder Emperor Biotech Corporation. Jiang Zhe studied Silver Eyes’s illusion technique and created two sixth-rank arcane techniques, Xiaolian and Shadowbearer, as he continued pursuing a seventh-rank technique and the Divine Power Path.

• Jiang Zhe freed Silver Eyes, gave him research insights and permission to take an Ordinary Treasure, and arranged for him to join Thunder Emperor Biotech Corporation under Qianwu Sovereign.
• Jiang Zhe analyzed Silver Eyes’s Endless Samsara technique and studied Legacy Crystals containing Primordial Ancestor’s Virtual Universe and Zuo Shan Ke’s Mystic Vein Diagrams to develop his own illusion techniques.
• After years of research, Jiang Zhe created the sixth-rank peak technique Golden Flood Dragon Scissors - Xiaolian, and Lord Cat promised to teach him the Divine Power Path breakthrough method once he created a seventh-rank technique.
• Jiang Zhe later created Shadowbearer, a sixth-rank peak Soul Assault technique, but Lord Cat told him it was not enough to reach the seventh rank.

Jiang Zhe left a Blood God Child clone on Wind Thunder Platform to study its Mystic Vein Diagrams while his main body departed, but the clone was surrounded by Cosmic Lords seeking his treasures and Combat Power Amplification Technique. When the attackers suppressed him with overlapping domains, Jiang Zhe activated Wrath - Soul Burn and Manifesting Heaven and Earth, leaving the clash poised to begin.

• Jiang Zhe decided he needed the Blood Sea Demonic Armor’s Mystic Vein Diagram for his cultivation, left a guarded clone on Wind Thunder Platform, and departed with his main body.
• Cosmic Lords identified the clone as Thunder Emperor and plotted to seize his Apex Treasures and Combat Power Amplification Technique, recruiting Five Firmaments Great Sage to help restrain him.
• After more than ten years, fourteen Cosmic Lords and Five Firmaments Great Sage surrounded Jiang Zhe and demanded his techniques and treasures.
• Blood Eye Lord and Crimson Eye Lord unleashed their combined Blood Sea domain, and the other attackers layered their domains to suppress Jiang Zhe.
• Jiang Zhe ignited his divine body with Wrath - Soul Burn, grew to nearly a hundred thousand kilometers tall, and used Manifesting Heaven and Earth to make the attacking domains tremble and collapse.
