• Yi Xuan froze the twelve Demon Race sages and asked Xiao Anhe why he believed Yi Xuan was not himself.

After the Sovereign released Yi Xuan, the universe’s vibrations brought Yi Xuan’s consciousness into contact with a battleaxe hidden in his soul. The battleaxe took him to a realm of funnel-shaped twin universes and then into one where a cataclysmic battle was raging.

• Yi Xuan explained to the Sovereign that stripping away the Book of Technology had been preferable to living in fear, and the Sovereign raised the black sphere carrying Yi Xuan’s soul.
• The universe and the black sphere vibrated until their frequencies matched, freezing all living beings, including Yi Xuan and the Sovereign.
• A battleaxe hidden in the Artifact Sect Great Hall inside Yi Xuan’s soul broke free and opened a rift, drawing Yi Xuan’s consciousness through it.
• Yi Xuan recognized the funnel-shaped structures around him as universes and saw that they supported a conjecture about twin universes cycling between expansion and decline.
• The battleaxe brought Yi Xuan into one of the universes, where a fierce battle was underway.

The young universe’s cosmic will, Sovereign, developed emotions and feared the cycle of death and rebirth, so he sought eternal life by devouring the cosmic will of its twin universe.

Yi Xuan watched the history of the Sovereign’s battle against the will of the other universe and learned how a giant axe was formed to seal the gap between the universes. The vision then shifted back to the twin universes, leaving Yi Xuan to observe their changes from a god’s-eye view.

• The battle axe explained that the Sovereign and the other universe’s will each held twelve parts of the Great Sage’s Opportunity, but the awakened Sovereign had grown stronger by learning from the Human Clan.

• The universe’s will concealed its own change and let the Sovereign devour its power before turning ten of his acquired parts into a battle axe.
• The battle axe split the Sovereign, severed the emotions from the universe’s will, and sealed the gap between the universes, sending the Sovereign back to his own universe.
• The universe’s will weakened and the world died and was reborn; the vision then returned Yi Xuan to the twin universes, where he watched their changes.

Yi Xuan witnessed the Sovereign bring his dying universe into the other universe, then remained trapped in the battle axe as it passed through history and became part of the High Antiquity Artifact Sect. After watching the sect rise and fall, Yi Xuan’s consciousness returned to his soul when his past self examined the hall and its battle axe.

• The Sovereign used his twenty-four Great Sage's Opportunity crystals to carry his shrinking universe into the other universe, leaving the battle axe and cosmic gap behind.
• Immortal cultivators found Yi Xuan inside the battle axe on a planet and eventually the weapon and stone slab passed into the High Antiquity Artifact Sect.

• The High Antiquity Artifact Sect learned the truth of the world through the Mystic Gate and was destroyed by other powers, with its last disciple leaving a warning against cultivating immortality.
• Yi Xuan watched his past self enter the Artifact Sect Great Hall and inspect the warning, then his consciousness returned to his soul.

The Sovereign merged the universe he controlled with the original universe, absorbed the battle-ax’s ten crystals, and restored Yi Xuan’s body before leaving. Yi Xuan later disappeared from public view as the universe developed for 150 billion years, eventually living as its sole Great Sage and a quiet observer.

• The black sphere expanded, and the universe it carried absorbed the energy of the original universe until the Sovereign grew stronger.
• Yi Xuan handed over the battle-ax, and the Sovereign absorbed its ten crystals before using two Great Sage’s Opportunities to restore Yi Xuan’s body.
• The Sovereign promised to preserve the Human Clan’s status, then departed after Yi Xuan warned Xiao Anhe and the others that the Heavenly Dao had a flaw.
• Yi Xuan disappeared from public view, and the universe entered an age without sages as new races and cultivation methods emerged alongside technology.
• After 150 billion years, the Sovereign regarded the universe as eternal while Yi Xuan remained its only Great Sage, living in seclusion and observing the myriad races.

Yi Xuan lived in isolation with the Good and Evil Twin Corpses until Liang Shi arrived with news that Shi Zhenghao had died during an attempt to advance to Great Sage. Liang Shi revealed that a universal war among the ten thousand races had engulfed nearly the entire universe.

• Yi Xuan announced that the Human Clan would withdraw from the struggle for supremacy and return to the desolate lands.
• Liang Shi angrily confronted Yi Xuan, who left after saying that every member of the Human Clan would gain eternal life.

Yi Xuan remained in seclusion while the myriad races destroyed the Human Clan, despite the deaths of his former companions and the Good and Evil Twin Corpses. After another million years, Liang Shi arrived gravely injured to tell him the Human Clan was gone, then died cursing the heavens.

• The myriad races launched a campaign against the Human Clan, whose people blamed Yi Xuan for refusing to fight.
• The Human Clan lost territory and suffered heavy casualties while Yi Xuan watched from the Mother Planet without intervening.
• After Xiao Anhe died, the Good and Evil Twin Corpses joined the resistance, but the myriad races killed them both.
• Yi Xuan passed another million years in isolation before Liang Shi appeared, badly injured.
• Liang Shi told Yi Xuan that the Human Clan was gone, then collapsed and cried, “Perish along with my Human Clan!”

After Liang Shi revealed the Human Clan’s method for becoming a Great Sage, the universe’s races repeatedly pursued power and resources, plunging the universe into escalating wars and decay. The Sovereign was gravely wounded while fighting more than a hundred Great Sages, and Yi Xuan appeared before him as the universe began to die.

• Yi Xuan buried Liang Shi outside the Azure Cloud Sect’s main hall and kept watch over the graveyard.
• Liang Shi’s method for advancing to Great Sage spread throughout the universe, prompting the races to race for advancement and later fight over resources.

• The Sovereign killed all the attackers but suffered grave injuries as a deathly decay spread through the universe.
• Yi Xuan appeared before the Sovereign, who was surrounded by forty-six crystals and covered in festering sores.

Yi Xuan confronted the decaying Sovereign, who consumed the Great Sage's Opportunities in a futile attempt to restore himself. Yi Xuan revealed that the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, and the universe dissolved into nothingness as its simulation ended.

• Yi Xuan appeared before the Sovereign and confronted him about achieving eternity at the cost of the universe's devastation.
• The Sovereign demanded Yi Xuan's Great Sage's Opportunity, and Yi Xuan vanished, leaving behind his soul and two crystals that joined the Sovereign's collection.
• The Sovereign gathered the Great Sage's Opportunities, but his decay worsened instead of improving.
• Yi Xuan produced more Great Sage's Opportunities for the Sovereign to consume, but the Sovereign deteriorated until he could barely move.
• Yi Xuan said the Heavenly Dao was incomplete, and the universe turned into zeros and ones before vanishing into nothingness.

Yi Xuan used his understanding of the universe to strip the Sovereign of his power and reshape the universe into two. He split his soul, creating Xingtian and Origin, while another fragment escaped as the two universes settled into their new order.

• Yi Xuan revealed that he had trapped the Sovereign in the Digital Universe and demonstrated that he could create Great Sage's Opportunities.
• Yi Xuan stripped the Sovereign of his forty-eight Great Sage's Opportunities, then gave him over a thousand before dissolving him again.

• The two Yi Xuans vanished, and the Good and Evil Twin Corpses watched a streak of light escape between them.
