Chapter Summaries

After the Human Clan lost three Great Sages and faced an attack from the Demon Race, Yi Xuan appeared and used seven mirrors to channel the Human Clan Great Sages’ energy into a barrier that blocked eleven Great Sages’ attacks. The Demon Race’s assault was stopped, and the Original Self ordered Peng Tianlin to bring the army back.

• The Demon Race’s Great Sage Qiongqi fell dead from the dimensional rift, and the surviving Great Sages of both races emerged in disarray.

• As the Great Sages prepared to clash, Yi Xuan appeared, and the Great Sage of Longevity recognized him.
• Yi Xuan summoned seven mirrors and told the Human Clan Great Sages to pour their energy into them, forming a vast honeycomb-like barrier.
• The barrier blocked the attacks of the Demon Race’s eleven Great Sages without rippling, and the Original Self told Peng Tianlin to bring the army back.

Yi Xuan used a broken Space Wall and eight False Sages to convince the Demon Race that the Human Clan had gained overwhelming reinforcements, forcing the demons to retreat. After revealing the deception, Yi Xuan collapsed, and the Human Clan stayed to hold its position while he recovered.

• Yi Xuan challenged the demons, and Hundun sent eight Great Sages to face the eight Human Clan sages while three others held back.

• Yi Xuan collapsed and explained that the eight apparent Great Sages were False Sages, created from data about his body and able to strike only once.
• The Great Sage Xumi understood Yi Xuan's bluff, then left with the Human Clan sages while the False Sages and Peng Tianlin's army remained.

After waking from a year-long brain overload, Yi Xuan learned that the Demon Race remained poised to attack while the Human Clan struggled to restore the Pillar of Creation. The chapter ended with Yi Xuan warning the Great Sage of Longevity that the Demon Race had attacked.

• The Great Sage of Longevity sent unconscious Yi Xuan back to the Mother Planet and left to investigate the vanished power of creation.
• Yi Xuan woke after a year of recovery, and Liang Shi explained that the examinations had found no illness or injury.
• Yi Xuan recalled that his brain had overloaded while helping construct a Space Wall that blocked the attacks of eleven Great Sages.
• Liang Shi told Yi Xuan that the Demon Race's army had retreated only several dozen star domains and that the Human Clan's army had stayed put.
• Yi Xuan learned from the Great Sage of Longevity that restoring the Pillar of Creation would take five years, then offered to help but was denied access.
• Yi Xuan told the Great Sage of Longevity that the Demon Race had attacked.

The Demon Race destroyed the Human Clan army and advanced on the Pillar of Creation, while the Good Corpse saved Peng Tianlin, Jian Nu, Xiao Anhe, and Li Yuntai. Yi Xuan was barred from the battle zone because he was not a Great Sage, and the Demon Race’s attacks could not breach the shield around the Pillar of Creation.

• Eleven Demon Race sages wiped out the Human Clan army after killing its eight False Sages.
• The Good Corpse protected Peng Tianlin, Jian Nu, Xiao Anhe, and Li Yuntai, but his body was left near collapse.

• The Demon Race sages transformed into colossal beasts and charged the Pillar of Creation, but a shield stopped their attacks from advancing.

The Demon Race's Sages attacked the Pillar of Creation while Yi Xuan protected the Human Clan from the resulting cosmic energy. Feng Lie, revealed as the Demon Race's hidden thirteenth Great Sage, arrived to hold Yi Xuan back, but his attacks failed to affect him.

• The Demon Race's Sages intensified their attacks on the Pillar of Creation, destroying the nebulae they sent against it and unleashing primordial energy across the battlefield.
• Yi Xuan blocked most of the cosmic energy from reaching the Human Clan's rear, easing the Human Clan's Sages' concerns.
• Hundun revealed that the formation around the Pillar of Creation had another secret, and a new Phoenix Great Sage appeared, shocking the Human Clan's Sages.
• Xingtian reminded Yi Xuan that the arriving Phoenix was Feng Lie, the Phoenix Ancestor's grandson and Feng Jiu's son, who had become a Great Sage in just sixty thousand years.
• Feng Lie attacked Yi Xuan with his wings and flames, but Yi Xuan reassembled himself from starlight and absorbed the heat with energy-conversion mirrors.

The original self used energy conversion to hold off Feng Lie while Liang Shi triggered the Artificial Demon Race’s self-destruct signal, wiping out Hundun’s demon army. The surviving demon Great Sages opened spatial rifts to summon reinforcements, but no demons emerged.

• The original self converted Feng Lie’s attack into a beam, and Feng Lie defended against it with a fiery tornado.
• As the Great Sages’ battle sent deadly aftershocks through human galaxies, Hundun unleashed the Demon Race’s army toward the human rear lines.
• The original self restrained Feng Lie and ordered the demons to explode, while Liang Shi sent the self-destruct signal through quantum-linked devices across the universe.
• The artificial demons self-destructed in a chain reaction, destroying Hundun’s army, though some powerful Supreme Powerhouses survived.
• The Three-Legged Golden Crow charged the original self, who compressed him into a point of light and made him vanish.
• Hundun and the other demon Great Sages opened spatial rifts to call their remaining forces, but no demons appeared.

The Original Self’s Starry Sky Annihilation Cannons weakened the twelve Demon Race Great Sages, but their attack also drained the Pillar of Creation and left the Human Clan at a disadvantage. He brought out the Good Corpse and Xingtian and began the Three Corpses Unite as One, leaving both sides racing to stop or protect him as the universe seemed to freeze.

• The Starry Sky Annihilation Cannons emerged from the spatial rifts and struck the twelve Demon Race Great Sages, while the Pillar of Creation’s power began to fade.
• Hundun ordered the injured Demon Race sages to attack, and they overwhelmed the Human Clan sages without the Power of Creation.
• The Great Sage of Longevity called for Yi Xuan’s help, so the Original Self brought out the Good Corpse, Xingtian, Jian Nu, Peng Tianlin, Xiao Anhe, and Li Yuntai, then sent the latter four to safety.
• The Demon Race sages recognized Sage’s Will in Xingtian and the Good Corpse, but the Original Self turned to them instead of rescuing Longevity.
• The Original Self and the Good and Evil Twin Corpses began Three Corpses Unite as One, prompting the Demon Race to rush at them and the Human Clan sages to pursue in defense.
• Both sides raced toward the three as time seemed to stop and the entire universe ceased moving.

Yi Xuan completed his transformation into a powerful warrior clad in seven-colored, pitch-black armor, then repelled the combined charge of the twelve Demon Race Great Sages with a single snort. Xiao Anhe credited the Black and White Twin Pearls for Yi Xuan’s strength, but Li Yuntai did not know what he meant.

• Yi Xuan’s Three Corpses became spheres of light visible to every living being in the universe, and Xingtian’s sphere formed a powerful headless body.
• Yi Xuan’s original body joined with the headless body to create his complete form, while the Good Corpse became seven-colored liquid metal.
• The liquid metal covered Yi Xuan and formed black battle armor, and time returned to normal as the twelve Demon Race Great Sages arrived.
• The twelve Demon Race Great Sages charged Yi Xuan together, but his cold snort sent them flying without injury.
• Xiao Anhe praised Li Yuntai for the Black and White Twin Pearls’ role in Yi Xuan’s power, and Li Yuntai asked what he was talking about.

Xiao Anhe and Jian Nu realized that the armored Yi Xuan was not acting like himself, and Yi Xuan killed the Great Sage of Longevity. As the Human Clan's sages questioned who he was, the Demon Race's Great Sages tried to flee, but Yi Xuan called out to them.

• Xiao Anhe insisted that the armored figure was not his disciple Yi Xuan, and Jian Nu also sensed that something was wrong.
• Yi Xuan moved faster than the sages could follow and appeared among the Human Clan, holding the dead Great Sage of Longevity.
• The Human Clan's sages retreated to the Pillar of Creation, and Great Sage Xumi asked Yi Xuan who he was.
• The Demon Race's twelve Great Sages tried to escape through spatial rifts while Yi Xuan focused on the humans.
• Yi Xuan called out to the fleeing Demon Race sages and asked where they were going.

Yi Xuan immobilized the Demon Race sages and revealed that he was not the real Yi Xuan, then called himself the Sovereign and declared that he wanted the Pillar of Creation. He left the sages stunned by claiming he had gravely wounded it, causing the Power of Creation to vanish.

• Yi Xuan froze the twelve Demon Race sages and asked Xiao Anhe why he believed Yi Xuan was not himself.
• Xiao Anhe identified the Black and White Twin Pearls and said Li Yuntai had made them to help Yi Xuan create an External Incarnation, suggesting Yi Xuan had already been replaced.
• Yi Xuan corrected Xiao Anhe, saying the pearls were not obtained by chance and that he had never stolen the heavens and swapped the sun.
• Yi Xuan subdued the Human Clan's Great Sages and named himself the Sovereign of all living beings and the universe.
• The Sovereign went to the Pillar of Creation and revealed that he had gravely wounded it, causing the Power of Creation to disappear.

The Sovereign revealed that he was Yi Xuan, the Demon Race’s Father God, and used the demon sages to reach and absorb the Pillar of Creation. After destroying the eighteen Great Sages and consuming their crystals, he separated his Three Corpses and drew Yi Xuan’s soul from a black sphere.

• The Sovereign claimed the dead Demon Race members had weakened the Pillar of Creation and stirred the demon sages’ bloodlines, leading Hundun to recognize him as Father God.
• The Sovereign negated the human sages’ attacks, rushed to the Pillar of Creation, and made it vanish upon collision.
• The twelve demon sages bowed to the Sovereign, who reduced all eighteen Great Sages to dust and swallowed their crystals.
• The Sovereign separated his Three Corpses and summoned Yi Xuan’s soul from a black sphere.

Yi Xuan awoke in his soul form and reunited with the Sovereign, who revealed that the Great Sages were dead and no Great Sages would remain anywhere in the universe. As the Sovereign questioned whether Yi Xuan had gained anything by surrendering the Book of Technology, Yi Xuan recalled how he had uncovered the Sovereign’s role in his life and found a sliver of hope in the Bullet Plan.

• Yi Xuan awoke in his soul form, greeted Xiao Anhe and the others, and faced the Sovereign as an old friend.
• The Sovereign told Yi Xuan that the Great Sage of Longevity and the other Great Sages of the Human Clan were dead, and that no Great Sages would remain anywhere in the universe.
• The Sovereign claimed Yi Xuan should thank him for shaping his life, but Yi Xuan said he had willingly given up what never belonged to him.
• Yi Xuan recalled realizing that his transmigration, Spirit Root, body, and Book of Technology were all part of the Sovereign’s plan.
• Yi Xuan remembered using the Bullet Plan to find a sliver of hope through the true separation of the Three Corpses.

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. He led his twelve Great Sages into the other universe, and while the Great Sages fought, Sovereign’s avatar reached its Origin Space.

• The young universe’s cosmic will developed emotions, became afraid of death, and named himself Sovereign.
• Sovereign studied the Human Clan and devised a plan to gain eternal life by devouring the other cosmic will.
• Sovereign led his twelve Great Sages through the barrier between the twin universes, prompting the other cosmic will to defend its universe.
• The twenty-four Great Sages battled and devastated the declining universe, giving Sovereign’s forces the advantage.
• Sovereign’s avatar slipped past the fighting Great Sages and entered the other universe’s Origin Space, where its cosmic will’s true body resided.

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 Sovereign and the universe’s will reclaimed the Great Sages’ shares and fought for millions of years, while the Great Sages died in their clash.
• 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.
• Yi Xuan communicated with the sect and shared scientific knowledge, helping it grow while worrying that it would take too long to escape the Heavenly Dog.
• 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 played Fight the Landlord with the Good and Evil Twin Corpses on the transformed Mother Planet, where he had settled after leaving the Immortal Realm.
• Liang Shi visited Yi Xuan and told him that Shi Zhenghao had died while advancing to Great Sage, struck by five bolts of lightning.
• Yi Xuan questioned Liang Shi’s account but accepted that it was true and asked him to explain what had happened.
• Liang Shi explained that after a hundred and fifty billion years of development, resource conflicts among the ten thousand races had erupted into a war that killed countless Supreme Powerhouses.
• The war spread across almost the entire universe, leaving Yi Xuan’s isolated paradise untouched.

Liang Shi told Yi Xuan that Shi Zhenghao had vanished after attempting to use Great Sage power, leaving the Human Clan threatened by the united myriad clans. Yi Xuan returned to the Human Clan and announced its retreat to the desolate lands, while Liang Shi condemned him for giving way again.

• Liang Shi explained that Shi Zhenghao had disappeared after five bolts of heavenly thunder struck as he tried to suppress the myriad clans.
• Liang Shi begged Yi Xuan to leave seclusion and save the Human Clan from the myriad clans’ united attack.
• Yi Xuan returned with Liang Shi to the Human Clan’s territory and was welcomed by its people and leaders.
• 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!”
