Yi Xuan found Venerable Yuan drunk and abandoning his efforts to save the world, then learned that the Sea Clan and Barbarian Clan had broken their agreement and left Venerable Yuan's plan in ruins. On hearing that Hai Qingshi led the Sea Clan and knew a Spirit Root-seizing technique, Yi Xuan decided to seek him out and was prepared to use force.

• Yi Xuan found Venerable Yuan dancing and drinking in a nightclub, where Venerable Yuan dismissed the Heavenly Dog crisis and paid for everyone's tab.

Yi Xuan told Venerable Yuan that the National Fortune Plan had seemed hopeless, but revealed another possible way to confront the Heavenly Dog. He took Venerable Yuan to the Eternal Sea to confirm details with Hai Qingshi, then claimed the Sea Clan’s Power of the Stars could not destroy the Heavenly Dog.

Yi Xuan deduced that Hai Qingshi had obtained a powerful formation from the Tomb of the Sea God and was relying on it to defeat the Heavenly Dog. After Yi Xuan warned that the formation was not enough, Hai Qingshi asked Venerable Yuan how likely the National Fortune Plan was to succeed.

• Hai Qingshi mocked Yi Xuan for claiming the Sea Clan would lose, while Venerable Yuan confirmed that the Sea Clan's earlier attempt to use the Power of the Stars against the Heavenly Dog had failed.
• Yi Xuan pointed out that the Before Completion Position required an abnormal amount of Spiritual Power, causing Hai Qingshi to stop them from leaving and ask how Yi Xuan knew about it.
• Yi Xuan revealed that he had worked out the formation himself and deduced that Hai Qingshi had obtained it from the Tomb of the Sea God.
• Yi Xuan warned Hai Qingshi that the formation probably could not defeat the Heavenly Dog, leaving Hai Qingshi desperate.
• Hai Qingshi asked Venerable Yuan how confident the National Fortune Plan was of defeating the Heavenly Dog, and Venerable Yuan fell silent.

Yi Xuan explained how he had spent decades developing the Grand Star Formation and found a way to overcome the lack of power needed to fight the Heavenly Dog. He showed Venerable Yuan and Hai Qingshi a formation assembled by satellites in orbit, leaving them to recognize it as the Grand Star Formation.

• Venerable Yuan admitted to Hai Qingshi that he did not know whether their plan would work, and Yi Xuan said his own method had a better chance.
• Yi Xuan recalled that No. 01's calculations had shown the formation needed to kill the Heavenly Dog would be larger than their planet and would require more Spiritual Qi than the planet possessed.
• After learning that Hai Qingshi had become the new Sea Emperor, Yi Xuan realized the Grand Star Formation could borrow external force more than once and asked No. 01 to confirm his idea.
• Yi Xuan projected a view of the busy orbital space system he had built over fifty years, then had more than a dozen satellites unfold into giant umbrella-shaped shells.
• The satellites joined to form a vast canopy, and Hai Qingshi recognized its pattern as the Grand Star Formation.

Yi Xuan explained the Stars' Assistance Plan, which would use two Grand Star Formations in outer space to amplify the Power of the Stars and kill the Heavenly Dog. The Sea Clan and Human Clan agreed to seek the Barbarian Clan's support, but the five Barbarian Ancestors remained suspicious of the plan.

• Yi Xuan demonstrated how his improved Grand Star Formation drew on the Power of the Stars and passed it to a larger formation.
• Yi Xuan described his plan to Hai Qingshi and Venerable Yuan, proposing two linked formations powered by the Cultivation Realm's Spiritual Qi.
• Hai Qingshi and Venerable Yuan agreed to the plan, and the Sea Clan and Human Clan joined forces to pursue it.
• Hai Qingshi, Venerable Yuan, and Yi Xuan traveled to the Barbarian Domain and met the five Barbarian Ancestors.
• Man Da told the visitors that the Barbarian Clan distrusted their proposal because the Human Clan was being driven back by the Barbarians.

As the five Barbarian Ancestors transformed into enormous beings and fought Hai Qingshi, Venerable Yuan explained to Yi Xuan that he had invented and personally tested the Loose Immortal cultivation system. The story left Hai Qingshi struggling against the five Ancestors while Venerable Yuan and Yi Xuan watched from a distance.

• The five Barbarian Ancestors transformed into hundred-meter-tall bodies, and Yi Xuan used the Power Amplifier Tower to endure their overwhelming presence.
• Hai Qingshi charged the five Ancestors despite Venerable Yuan's warnings, and Venerable Yuan retreated with Yi Xuan.
• Venerable Yuan told Yi Xuan that he had been the first Loose Immortal and had deduced the Nine-Tribulation path backward from the Golden Immortal Realm.
• Venerable Yuan explained that he had stripped away his Golden Immortal cultivation to verify the Loose Immortal method, but his damaged Spirit Root left him unable to ascend again.
• Hai Qingshi fought all five Barbarian Ancestors at once and realized that their strength was far beyond what he had expected.

Hai Qingshi and Venerable Yuan failed to force the Barbarian Clan to support the Stars' Assistance Plan after the five Barbarian Ancestors revealed their increased strength. Yi Xuan wagered that his attack could move them, and his fiery red beam enveloped all five as the chapter ended.

• The five Barbarian Ancestors refused to support the Stars' Assistance Plan and told Venerable Yuan and Hai Qingshi to leave.

• Yi Xuan activated the attack command, sending a fiery red beam down over the five Barbarian Ancestors and melting the surrounding ice and snow.

Yi Xuan unleashed an attack with True Solar Fire that melted the ten-thousand-li icefield and forced the five Barbarian Ancestors to endure twenty-two seconds of extreme heat. The Ancestors survived and recovered from their burns, but their imposing presence had weakened as they stared warily at Yi Xuan.

Over fifty years, Yi Xuan advanced his technology and built a Dyson Swarm around the sun, using its power to develop a weapon and prepare for the Heavenly Dog. He abandoned the plan to destroy the sun because it would take ten thousand years, and the chapter ended with his test attack on the five Barbarian Ancestors revealed as a small-scale version of the Dyson Sphere’s weapon.

• Yi Xuan transformed his technology over fifty years while reducing Starlink to a few, far more capable satellites.
• Yi Xuan built a Dyson Swarm around the sun, with machines across space mining resources and spacecraft carrying them to the project.
• Yi Xuan used the Dyson Sphere’s energy to support the Stars' Assistance Plan and planned to combine it with the Grand Star Formation against the Heavenly Dog.
• No. 01 calculated that a Dyson Sphere capable of consuming the sun’s lifespan would take at least ten thousand years to complete, so Yi Xuan dropped that plan.
• Yi Xuan’s attack on the five Barbarian Ancestors was revealed as a scaled-down Dyson Sphere weapon test.

Yi Xuan won the Barbarian Ancestors’ respect and united the Human, Sea, and Barbarian Clans behind the Stars' Assistance Plan against the Heavenly Dog. He ended the human-barbarian war and began arranging for the other forces and the divided Central Continent to be brought into line.

• Man Da admitted the Barbarian Ancestors had lost, but Man Si and Man Da questioned whether Yi Xuan could defeat the Heavenly Dog.
• Yi Xuan explained that the completed, energy-storing Dyson sphere could unleash an attack around a hundred thousand times stronger, renewing everyone’s hope in the Stars' Assistance Plan.

Yi Xuan arrived at the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom with Venerable Yuan and asked Zhuo Ning to become the Human Clan’s common sovereign. Zhuo Ning agreed, and Venerable Yuan summoned the other four great immortal kingdoms to Blazing Sun so they could unify the Human Clan within a year.

• Yi Xuan and Venerable Yuan appeared above the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom’s Heavenly Palace, and Zhuo Ning stopped a royal elder from attacking them.
• Zhuo Ning knelt to greet Venerable Yuan, who caught him and said Yi Xuan was in charge; Yi Xuan announced that the war was about to end.

• Yi Xuan asked Zhuo Ning to become the Human Clan’s common sovereign, and Zhuo Ning solemnly agreed.
• Venerable Yuan accepted Zhuo Ning as the future sovereign, then sent word summoning the other four great immortal kingdoms to Blazing Sun within a year.

Venerable Yuan gathered the five Human Clan Immortal Emperors and announced that the five Immortal Kingdoms would unite under Zhuo Ning, prompting the other four to challenge the decision. As the National Fortune symbols of all five kingdoms appeared over the Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty, the confrontation began.

• Venerable Yuan announced that the five Immortal Kingdoms would merge and that Zhuo Ning would become the Common Sovereign of the Human Clan.

• The five Immortal Emperors faced a powerful disturbance as the National Fortune symbols of the other four kingdoms appeared beside the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom's National Fortune Great Sun.

The four rival immortal emperors challenged Zhuo Ning to prove he could rule the Human Clan, and all five kingdoms’ National Fortune gathered above the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom. Zhuo Ning’s Great Sun repelled the Blood-Red Immortal Emperor’s Red Lotus, revealing that Blazing Sun’s National Fortune had grown far stronger than the others expected.

• The four immortal emperors entered the phantoms of their kingdoms’ National Fortune and challenged Zhuo Ning to claim rule over the Human Clan by force.
• Zhuo Ning entered the National Fortune Great Sun, accepting their challenge.
• The Blood-Red Immortal Emperor sent his Red Lotus crashing into Zhuo Ning’s Great Sun, but the Great Sun repelled it without moving.
• The other immortal emperors realized that Blazing Sun’s National Fortune surpassed their expectations.
• Zhuo Ning’s confidence came from the kingdom’s development under his and Liang Shi’s efforts, which had more than doubled its National Fortune.

Zhuo Ning faced the four Immortal Emperors in a battle of National Fortune to decide who would become the Human Clan’s Common Sovereign. After dodging their combined assault, he challenged them to fight openly, but their final gamble unleashed a shock wave that made his National Fortune Great Sun vanish with him.

• Zhuo Ning dodged the four Immortal Emperors’ attacks and pointed out that their combined assault had failed to overwhelm him.
• The four Immortal Emperors stopped pursuing Zhuo Ning, and he ceased dodging and challenged them to defeat him openly.
• Zhuo Ning and the four Immortal Emperors shrank their National Fortunes into spirit objects and fought in the sky above the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom.
• The Hundred Alliances Immortal Emperor urged the others to make a final gamble, and the four Immortal Emperors called on their subjects to gather National Fortune.
• The four kingdoms’ National Fortunes struck Zhuo Ning’s Great Sun with a shock wave, making the Great Sun vanish from the sky with Zhuo Ning inside.

Zhuo Ning gathered the Blazing Sun Immortal Kingdom’s National Fortune and defeated the other four Immortal Emperors in a clash of immense power. The Central Continent’s Human Clan recognized him as their Common Sovereign, while Yi Xuan left Venerable Yuan wondering how he had made it happen.

• Zhuo Ning called on the subjects of Blazing Sun to gather National Fortune, which formed a golden sun around him.
• Immortal Emperor Daoyi combined the other three Immortal Emperors’ spiritual objects into his National Fortune horsetail whisk and tore a vast rift through the sky.
• Zhuo Ning charged the golden National Fortune Great Sun into the whisk, leaving Daoyi and the other Immortal Emperors weakened.
• Zhuo Ning’s second collision cracked the whisk, and the four Immortal Emperors acknowledged him as the Common Sovereign of the Human Clan.
• The spiritual objects joined Zhuo Ning’s golden sun, and the people of the five Immortal Kingdoms hailed him as their Common Sovereign.
• Venerable Yuan asked Yi Xuan how he had done it, and Yi Xuan replied, “Please believe in science!”

After the Cultivation Realm learned that the Heavenly Dog would destroy the world in five hundred years, Yi Xuan issued a mandatory vacation plan to curb cultivators’ use of Spiritual Qi. He silenced doubts by revealing a biochip that could guide cultivation with extraordinary precision.

• Zhuo Ning unified the Central Continent, and the Sea Clan and Barbarian Clan completed Yi Xuan’s assigned tasks, bringing the Cultivation Realm into a state of grand unification.
• Yi Xuan revealed that the Heavenly Dog would destroy the world in five hundred years, causing widespread panic among cultivators.
• The upper echelons of the three clans had previously limited themselves to persuading ascenders because they needed to preserve the Cultivation Realm’s Spiritual Qi balance.
• Yi Xuan ordered Golden Core cultivators and above to take mandatory leave and forbade them from cultivating or using Spirit Stones during it.
• Yi Xuan showed Venerable Yuan and the others the Cultivation Assistance Chip, which monitored cultivators and generated personalized cultivation and breakthrough plans.

Yi Xuan’s Vacation Plan faced a public boycott, but he had quietly begun implementing it in the Xia Kingdom through the Cultivation Assistance Chip. After cultivators across the Southern Frontier learned of the chip’s benefits, they began seeking implants, strengthening Yi Xuan’s confidence in the plan.

• Yi Xuan’s Vacation Plan provoked a boycott across the Cultivation Realm, and he stopped Venerable Yuan and the others from defending him.
• Yi Xuan had already imposed the plan on the Xia Kingdom’s sects, where cultivators received Assisted Cultivation Chip implants within a day.
• Southern Frontier sects feared Yi Xuan would force them to submit, but he made no move after the Xia Kingdom’s compliance.
• Cultivators learned that the chip offered training, teaching materials, and faster cultivation for those below the Golden Core Realm.
• Golden Core cultivators discovered that the chip could passively circulate a retrievable Cultivation Method to extend their lives until the apocalypse.
• Southern Frontier cultivators flocked to get chips, and Yi Xuan grew more confident as the Vacation Plan advanced.

Yi Xuan’s shared cultivation knowledge and Assistance Chip brought nearly all cultivators into the Vacation Plan, while the chip punished those who broke its cultivation rules. As technology and the network spread, Yi Xuan summoned the Cultivation Realm’s Loose Immortals who had passed five tribulations or more, leaving the purpose of his order unclear.

• Yi Xuan uploaded his cultivation knowledge to the network, making it freely available to cultivators with implants and ordinary people throughout the Southern Frontier.
• As the chip’s benefits became clear, resistance faded, and ninety-nine percent of the Cultivation Realm joined the Vacation Plan within a year.
• The Assistance Chip suspended repeat rule-breakers for a year and, after a fourth attempt, flooded one cultivator’s brain with information, leaving him an idiot.
• The Vacation Plan’s success accelerated the spread of the network and technology throughout the world.
• Yi Xuan ordered the leaders of the human, Sea Clan, and Barbarian Clan to gather Loose Immortals who had passed at least five tribulations; the Golden Kingdom and Demon Beasts had none to summon.

Yi Xuan summoned the Cultivation Realm’s experts and ordered them to kill Dao Qianqiu, whose protests stirred the crowd against him. Yi Xuan silenced the gathering by summoning Unit-01, then asked Dao Qianqiu whether he remembered the Blood Asura Gate and the title Blood Venerable.

• Several hundred experts gathered at the Azure Cloud Sect to hear Yi Xuan’s instructions.
• Yi Xuan pointed at Dao Qianqiu and ordered the crowd to kill him, prompting protests from those who supported the former number one expert.
• Dao Qianqiu accused Yi Xuan of using his death to intimidate the experts and questioned whether Yi Xuan could save the Cultivation Realm.
• Dao Qianqiu claimed he was willing to die for the Cultivation Realm, further riling up the crowd.
• Yi Xuan summoned Unit-01, whose presence silenced Dao Qianqiu and intimidated the experts.
• Yi Xuan asked Dao Qianqiu if he remembered the Blood Asura Gate and the title Blood Venerable.

Yi Xuan confronted Dao Qianqiu with evidence that he was the Blood Venerable, but the Loose Immortal experts showed no remorse over the massacres in the footage, pushing Yi Xuan into a crisis of doubt. Ning Yun’s recovering memories brought him back to himself, and he resolved to follow his conscience and focus on what he could do in the present.

• Yi Xuan used Divine Sense and Unit-01’s analysis to confirm that Dao Qianqiu was almost certainly the Blood Venerable, then showed the assembled experts footage of massacred villages and the Blood Asura Gate’s Soul Star Blood Sea.
• Ning Yun watched the footage as memories sealed by Supreme Elder Li began to stir, while the Loose Immortals remained unmoved by the suffering shown.
• Yi Xuan began doubting his judgment as the experts seemed to question why he blamed them, and No. 01 warned that his brain waves were abnormal.
• Ning Yun broke into a frenzy, crying for her child while Shi Zhenghao held her, and the disturbance helped Yi Xuan emerge from his confusion.
• Yi Xuan decided he could not save the whole world and chose to focus on the present and keep his conscience clear.

Yi Xuan killed Dao Qianqiu after the Loose Immortals challenged his authority over the Soul Star Blood Sea. He then ordered them to seize control of every secret realm in the Cultivation Realm within five years while he expanded production capacity and prepared to deploy his researchers.

• Dao Qianqiu admitted that he had created the Soul Star Blood Sea and challenged Yi Xuan to defend the mortals there.
• Several Loose Immortals considered joining Dao Qianqiu to resist Yi Xuan and push for a say in his future decisions.
• Unit-01 appeared and killed Dao Qianqiu with a giant dagger, then pulled the weapon from his body.
• The Loose Immortals backed down after seeing Yi Xuan's strength and waited for his instructions.
• Yi Xuan ordered the powerhouses of all three races to bring every secret realm under control within five years.
• Yi Xuan worked to expand production capacity and prepare his scientific and technical personnel for the Cultivation Realm's wider expansion.

Yi Xuan’s forces took control of more than a thousand secret realms ahead of schedule, and the cultivators’ rewards from clearing them strengthened their loyalty to him. He turned the realms into research bases while his space force expanded its mining and shipbuilding operations beyond the Cultivation Realm.

• The Vacation Plan and Yi Xuan’s effort to control secret realms shifted cultivators’ competition from strength toward knowledge, a trend that also encouraged ordinary people to pursue technology.
• Led by the three races’ higher-ups, several hundred experts who had undergone at least five tribulations seized control of over a thousand secret realms in four years.
• Yi Xuan let the experts keep the treasures they found, motivating them to clear secret realms far faster than he had expected.
• After Hai Qingshi handed over the final secret realm, Yi Xuan ordered the experts to disband, but most stayed near the Azure Cloud Sect to await further orders.
• Yi Xuan began converting the secret realms into research bases to support the Dyson Sphere Project and the Stars' Assistance Plan.
• Yi Xuan’s space force mined asteroids and built enormous interstellar warships beyond the Cultivation Realm’s sight.
