Chapter Summaries

Li Yang discovered that she could convert the abundant Power of Time into small amounts of Power of Nature without spending lifespan, then gathered enough to help Cheng Rui. She returned to the cultivation room and offered him the Power of Nature, leaving him ready to hear how she had obtained it.

• Li Yang realized that harvesting Star Plants was the talent that had made Sister Longevity choose her, and tested making a direct request instead of asking to spend lifespan.
• Sister Longevity converted 1,000 points of the Power of Time into 10 points of the Power of Nature without consuming Li Yang’s lifespan.
• Li Yang found that cultivating with the Power of Nature felt comfortable and confirmed that Sister Longevity judged talent according to the specific task.
• Li Yang gathered 10,000 points of the Power of Nature while the Flower of Evil questioned whether drawing in so much Power of Time would attract the God King of Time.
• Li Yang used Meld into Space to return to the thirteenth cultivation room, checked Cheng Rui’s Origin Soul, and told him she had brought him the Power of Nature.

Li Yang transferred a large supply of the Power of Nature to Cheng Rui, earning a flood of Shock Points as he prepared to sense more Spacetime Puppets. While she waited for his signal and cultivated, Shi Yun came to summon her to meet the God King of Time.

• Li Yang learned that Star Wielders who had mastered the Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra could transfer the Power of Nature to one another.
• Li Yang released 10,000 points of the Power of Nature to Cheng Rui, whose Spacetime Puppets gave her 100,000 Shock Points.
• Cheng Rui said he could use the Power of Nature to sense at least a hundred Spacetime Puppets, and Li Yang urged him not to overexert himself.
• Li Yang returned to her cultivation room, absorbed the Power of Time, and repeatedly converted it into the Power of Nature.
• Shi Yun arrived at Li Yang's cultivation room and told her that the God King of Time wanted to see her.
• Shi Yun led Li Yang to the main hall, where the God King of Time was waiting.

Li Yang met with the God King of Time, who explained how the “history,” “present,” and “future” aspects of the Law of Time interacted. After reconsidering the God King’s advice and the Flower of Evil’s assumptions, Li Yang concluded that mastering the “future” could help Cheng Rui reclaim his Spacetime Puppet.

• The God King of Time examined Li Yang, praised her cultivation, and explained how the three aspects of the Law of Time transformed into one another.
• Li Yang probed the God King of Time’s intentions and considered whether the God King had discovered her connection to the Nature Department.
• The God King of Time advised Li Yang that mastering the “future” would let her master the future, then allowed her to challenge Shi Yun to break through her realm.
• The Flower of Evil claimed that reclaiming Cheng Rui’s Spacetime Puppet required the “present,” but admitted he had never reclaimed one.
• Li Yang realized that giving Cheng Rui the “future” could let him derive the “present” without losing his “history,” and concluded that she should sense the “future.”

Li Yang tested whether the God King of Time remembered their meeting the previous day and discovered that her guidance had changed. Suspecting the God King’s condition was worsening, Li Yang paid the Flower of Evil to inspect her Authority of God.

• Shi Yun summoned Li Yang to see the God King of Time again, despite having brought her there the day before.
• Li Yang repeated her previous replies and found that the God King seemed to forget their first meeting but gave her different, less helpful advice about the Law of Time.
• Li Yang concluded that neither a time loop nor simple forgetfulness explained the change and suspected the God King’s condition had deteriorated.
• Li Yang offered the Flower of Evil three million malice to inspect the God King’s Authority of God, and he bargained for four million before agreeing.
• The Flower of Evil carefully examined the God King of Time’s Authority of God while Li Yang watched for signs that she had noticed.

Li Yang discovered that the God King of Time’s authority might have split into the categories of future, history, and present after the Personal Disciple Tournament. She reconnected with Cheng Rui, who had controlled 105 Spacetime Puppets, and began telling him about the God King summoning her.

• The Flower of Evil examined the God King of Time and found that her Authority of God appeared to have only a third remaining, prompting Li Yang to warn him not to reveal any killing intent.
• Li Yang reasoned that the God King’s authority had likely split into future and history categories rather than simply being depleted, and she suspected the change followed the Personal Disciple Tournament.
• Li Yang waited for Cheng Rui and avoided interrupting his efforts to control more Spacetime Puppets, while the God King did not summon her again for several days.
• Cheng Rui appeared through a Spacetime Puppet and gave Li Yang their agreed signal; he reported that he had controlled 105 puppets.
• Li Yang gave Cheng Rui 20,000 points of Power of Nature to help repair his Spirit Sea, and he revealed that his puppets had located five people in the Master Realm.
• Li Yang told Cheng Rui that the God King of Time had summoned her, and Cheng Rui urgently asked whether she had been in danger.

Li Yang spent Shock Points from Cheng Rui to gain two million years of life span and repeatedly comprehended the Law of Time, hoping to obtain its future attribute so she could help recover Spacetime Puppets. After several attempts produced history and present laws, Lianxin’s suggestion led Li Yang to consider whether focusing her will on the future could change the result.

• Li Yang told Cheng Rui she would seek the future attribute of the Law of Time and asked him to scout safe routes to five Master Realm cultivators.
• Cheng Rui agreed to let Li Yang restore some of his Spacetime Puppets after she reassured him that he would still have plenty left.
• Li Yang spent 200,000 years of life span to sense a history-type Law of Time that could rewind certain items by three minutes.
• Li Yang spent more life span refreshing the law’s attribute, but the first several results were history or present.
• Lianxin suggested that Li Yang try thinking about the future, prompting her to wonder whether her will could influence the Law of Time’s attribute.

Li Yang helped Cheng Rui reclaim his Spacetime Puppets and encouraged him to explore the Realm Domain of Time. After two months, Cheng Rui returned with control of 1,001 puppets and a map of the Palace of History, leaving them ready to contact the other Master Realm cultivators there.

• Li Yang sensed the Law of Time’s Future classification and discovered it let her glimpse up to one second of future history.
• Li Yang and Cheng Rui used the Power of Time to reclaim the Spacetime Puppets Cheng Rui had already sensed.
• Li Yang transferred Power of Nature to Cheng Rui and told him to stabilize his mental state while exploring the Realm Domain of Time.
• After two months, Cheng Rui returned with 1,001 Spacetime Puppets under his control and reported that the Realm Domain of Time contained three palaces.
• Cheng Rui confirmed they were in the Palace of History and shared a map marking the locations of its other three Master Realm cultivators.

Li Yang investigated the God King of Time’s condition and learned that she could still reach the rescued Nature Department cultivators through their Spacetime Puppets. Resolved to help kill the weakened God King, Li Yang crossed the Palace of History and found another senior’s cultivation room filled with mutilated Spacetime Puppets.

• Cheng Rui showed Li Yang a memory of the God King of Time summoning Xing Yao’s Spacetime Puppet and promising to return the captives if Shi Yun cultivated a Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.
• Li Yang and Cheng Rui realized the God King of Time’s slight tremor suggested she was severely weakened, and they considered killing her to protect the rescued cultivators.
• Li Yang waited two days, then used Meld into Space to sneak toward the other Master Realm cultivators while Lianxin helped calm her killing intent.
• Li Yang crossed the Palace of History’s main hall and reached the northwest cultivation room without being noticed.
• Li Yang found the room filled with countless incomplete Spacetime Puppets belonging to an unknown senior, many missing limbs or their heads.

Li Yang found two more badly damaged Nature Department seniors imprisoned as Spacetime Puppets in the Time Realm Domain: her martial aunt Si Yue and her teacher’s junior brother, Lan Zhang. She gave them the Power of Nature and learned that Si Yue could use the Law of the Future to restore her own puppets, then continued toward another senior in the Palace of History.

• The Flower of Evil helped Li Yang find a relatively intact Spacetime Puppet, and she discovered that it was Si Yue, her teacher Si Kui’s senior sister.
• Li Yang introduced herself to Si Yue and explained how she had entered the Time Realm Domain; after absorbing the Power of Nature, Si Yue sensed many of her Spacetime Puppets and revealed that she had the Law of the Future.
• Li Yang went to the southwest corner and found Lan Zhang, who recognized Si Kui as his senior sister after Li Yang told him that Si Kui was well.
• Li Yang promised to give Lan Zhang the Power of Nature and help him recover his Spacetime Puppets, then left to look for another senior in the Palace of History.

Li Yang awakened Bai Muxue and persuaded her to help the captive Nature Department Masters escape the Realm Domain of Time. After returning to her chamber to replenish her dwindling lifespan, Li Yang learned from Cheng Rui how the Masters had been kept alive and subjected to experiments on their Myriad Phenomena Origin Souls.

• Li Yang left Lan Zhang and found Bai Muxue with mismatched body parts stitched onto her original body and Spacetime Puppets.
• Li Yang soothed Bai Muxue with the Power of Nature and overcame her distrust by explaining Si Kui's survival and the rescue effort.
• Li Yang restored Bai Muxue's resolve by insisting that everyone needed her strength, and Bai Muxue agreed to sense her Spacetime Puppets for recovery.
• Li Yang returned to her cultivation chamber with little lifespan remaining and sought more Shock Points to prepare for fighting the God King of Time.
• Cheng Rui explained that the captured Masters had detonated their Origin Souls, but the three God Kings had kept them alive and threatened Fifth Grade cultivators to force their cooperation.
• Cheng Rui revealed that Si Yue's regenerating Origin Soul had made her the most heavily dissected specimen, while the failure of those experiments had led to less severe treatment of Lan Zhang.

After Cheng Rui showed Li Yang memories of Si Yue, Lan Zhang, and Bai Muxue before their suffering, Li Yang planned how to kill the weakened God King of History and create suspicion between the Gods of Time. She gathered Shock Points by helping the four Masters sense and recover their Spacetime Puppets, while carefully restoring Bai Muxue’s Origin Soul.

• Cheng Rui shared memories showing Si Yue’s lively closeness with Si Kui, Lan Zhang’s shy affection for Si Kui, and Bai Muxue’s former beauty and joyfulness.
• Li Yang told Cheng Rui she intended to gather enough Shock Points to fight the God King of History, then planned to spread a false account of the God King’s death and leave the Gods of Time divided.
• Li Yang asked Cheng Rui to keep sensing his Spacetime Puppets rather than investigate the God King, while withholding her full battle plan and abilities from him.
• Li Yang converted the Power of Time into the Power of Nature and delivered it to the four Masters, gaining large amounts of Shock Points as they sensed their Spacetime Puppets.
• Li Yang carefully helped Bai Muxue recover her Origin Soul, and Bai Muxue was shocked by Li Yang’s precise skill and asked whether her secondary field was Star Support.
• Li Yang told Bai Muxue that her secondary field was the Pill Department and that Master Li Yao taught her.

Li Yang restored parts of Bai Muxue’s Origin Soul and helped the others recover Spacetime Puppets, then gathered enough Shock Points and lifespan to prepare for a confrontation with the master of the Palace of History. After leaving her allies behind for safety, she borrowed the Flower of Evil’s godhood and ascended directly to the Divine Venerable Realm.

• Li Yang pieced together a more complete Origin Soul for Bai Muxue, who revealed that she could no longer sense her Fortune Spirit.
• Li Yang helped Cheng Rui, Si Yue, and Lan Zhang recover Spacetime Puppets, then announced she would kill the master of the Palace of History and gained nearly seven million Shock Points.
• Li Yang reached 20 million Shock Points and told her allies to stay in the cultivation room while she went alone to fight.
• Cheng Rui questioned how Li Yang would pay the lifespan cost of her secret technique, and she explained that her Fortune Spirit subsystem could collect lifespan.
• Bai Muxue and the others urged Li Yang to return safely, and Li Yang set out toward the Palace of History’s main hall.
• Li Yang poured lifespan into the Malice Subsystem, rose to Ninth-Grade Supreme, and then borrowed the Flower of Evil’s godhood to ascend to the Divine Venerable Realm.

Li Yang attacked the God King of Time in the Palace of History, only to discover that she was facing an invulnerable Historical Projection controlling tens of thousands of Shi Yun Spacetime Puppets. The projection revealed herself as Li Yang’s future, and Li Yang realized that killing her would mean killing herself because she had already killed the God King of the Future.

• Li Yang used the Flower of Evil’s Divine Skills to enter the Palace of History and strike at the God King of Time’s remaining Authority of God.
• The Flower of Evil recognized the target as a Historical Projection, and Li Yang’s attacks proved unable to harm it.
• The God King of Time sent tens of thousands of Shi Yun Spacetime Puppets after Li Yang, while Li Yang evaded them with Meld into Space.
• The God King of Time pulled back her hood and greeted Li Yang as her future self.
• The Flower of Evil worried that the God King of Time was misleading Li Yang, while Lianxin insisted that Li Yang had no desire to monopolize the Authority of Time.
• Li Yang recognized that the God King of Time was her past and that killing her would be equivalent to killing herself, a consequence of Li Yang having killed the God King of the Future.

Li Yang learned that the Time Realm Domain split its visitors into parallel past, present, and future selves, and recovered the future self’s memories. She discovered the God King of Time had baited her into killing a weakened future incarnation so she could invade Li Yang’s Spirit Sea and claim her Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

• Li Yang’s future self entered the Palace of the Future, where Shi Yun guided her to meet the God King of Time and begin cultivating.
• Li Yang gathered the Power of Time and used Flower of Evil to discover that the Shi Yun in the palace was a future Spacetime Puppet, one of thousands in the thirteenth cultivation chamber.
• Li Yang found that the God King of Time had only a third of her authority remaining and realized the God King of History and the God King of the Future were separate beings.
• Li Yang awakened the other Masters, gathered Shock Points, and used Flower of Evil’s Ten Thousand Thorns to kill the God King of the Future, spending five million years of lifespan.
• As Li Yang took the future authority, the God King of Time invaded her Spirit Sea, revealing that the apparent opportunity to kill her had been a trap to seize Li Yang’s Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

The God King of Time invaded Li Yang’s Spirit Sea to steal her Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul and replace her existence, but Li Yang realized that the missing Authority of the Present was the key to resisting her. She sent a message urging Cheng Rui to kill the God King of the Present, while Cheng Rui rushed to find the Palace of the Present without knowing how to enter it.

• The God King of Time began consuming Li Yang’s existence, and Li Yang saw a future in which the God King used her identity to slaughter the Huaxia Realm Domain.
• Lianxin’s voice helped Li Yang regain her clarity, and she realized the God King of Time had deliberately cut her off from the present.
• Li Yang understood that gaining the Authority of the Present could let her seize the God King of Time’s complete authority, so she tried to tell the Flower of Evil to send Cheng Rui to the Palace of the Present.
• Lianxin urged the Flower of Evil to contact Cheng Rui and tell him to kill the God King of the Present.
• The Flower of Evil passed the message to Cheng Rui, who rushed toward the Palace of the Present but did not know how to enter it.

Cheng Rui and Si Yue figured out how to reach the Palace of the Present by reclaiming their Spacetime Puppets, and Cheng Rui chose to trust his companions and bring them along. The four arrived and charged the God King of the Present as Li Yang continued fighting the God King of Time.

• Cheng Rui sought Si Yue’s help after his Spacetime Puppets failed to find the Palace of the Present.
• Si Yue reclaimed one of Cheng Rui’s future selves, and he realized the three palaces were parallel and that reclaiming all his Spacetime Puppets would bring him to the present.
• Si Yue urged Cheng Rui to trust his companions, and Lan Zhang and Bai Muxue agreed to join the fight despite their conditions.
• Cheng Rui and his companions reclaimed their Spacetime Puppets, reached the Palace of the Present, and charged the God King of the Present.
• Li Yang saw what the God King of Time saw as they devoured each other.

Li Yang regained control of her present self after Cheng Rui, Si Yue, Lan Zhang, and Bai Muxue fatally wounded the God King of the Present. With the God King of Time driven from her Spirit Sea, Li Yang borrowed the Flower of Evil’s divinity and launched an attack on her.

• Li Yang told the God King of Time that Cheng Rui, Si Yue, Lan Zhang, and Bai Muxue could defeat her weakened present self.
• The four Nature Department fighters coordinated their attacks, exposed the God King of the Present’s shifting face, and dealt her a fatal blow.
• Bai Muxue shielded Li Yang from the God King of the Present’s final counterattack and fell unconscious after Li Yang awoke.
• Li Yang took hold of the Authority of the Present as Cheng Rui, Lan Zhang, and Si Yue fell unconscious, then drove the God King of Time out of her Spirit Sea.
• Li Yang asked Sister Longevity to consume her lifespan for the Flower of Evil’s divinity, then used Meld into Space and Ten Thousand Thorns to charge the God King of Time.

Li Yang killed the God King of Time by exploiting the uncertainty in her future predictions and turning the authority of the present into Ten Thousand Thorns. Afterward, she learned that Lianxin had eaten part of the God King of Time, ending his status as Pure Lianxin and leaving him able to cultivate only through devouring.

• The God King of Time attacked Li Yang with others’ past selves, but Li Yang dodged and used the authority of the present to resist.
• Li Yang made the God King of Time’s future self unable to predict her actions, then transformed the authority of the present into Ten Thousand Thorns and used the power of nature to destroy her past self.
• Li Yang pursued and killed the God King of Time’s future self, completing the God King’s death.
• Li Yang noticed that Lianxin’s lifespan gift had dwindled to one year and asked Flower of Evil about his condition.
• Flower of Evil explained that Lianxin had eaten part of the God King of Time and was no longer Pure Lianxin.
• Li Yang learned that Lianxin could no longer cultivate through purity and would have to cultivate by devouring.

Li Yang learned that Lianxin had devoured a God King to save her, leaving him unable to purify what he had eaten and facing a painful choice about cultivation. After reassuring him and resolving to seek help, she turned to the fallen Authority of Time and considered whether inheriting it could help her rescue the Nature Department masters.

• The Flower of Evil told Li Yang that Lianxin could not purify the God King he had eaten and would reach at least the Fourth Grade Realm once he digested it.
• Lianxin said he could stop cultivating, but the Flower of Evil warned that he would lose his Ninth Grade standing, endanger Li Yang through their Symbiotic Contract, and have to leave her Spirit Sea.
• Lianxin explained that he had devoured the God King without hesitation when he sensed Li Yang was in danger, and Li Yang comforted him and resolved to find another way to help him cultivate.
• Li Yang considered whether removing the Heart Worm might solve Lianxin’s problem and decided to seek advice from the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and the Nature Department.
• The Flower of Evil urged Li Yang to claim the fallen Authority of Time and pose as the God King of Time to rescue the Nature Department masters, but Li Yang doubted she could fool Daowu and Kongzhi.

Li Yang refused to claim the Authority of Time, wary of the price it would demand, but Daowu's arrival forced her to place it in her Origin Soul as leverage. She survived the God King of Time's memories with help from her Fortune Spirit, and faced Daowu as he appeared in the Realm Domain of Time.

• Li Yang rejected the Authority of Time and planned to present it to Xuanyuan through a story that would reinforce her Bone Peach Mother Tree identity.
• The Flower of Evil sensed Daowu approaching, so Li Yang hid the unconscious Cheng Rui and the others in the Spirit-Dwelling Box.
• Li Yang asked how to destroy the Authority of Time and learned she could scatter it by detonating her Origin Soul after placing it inside.
• Lianxin and the Flower of Evil offered to share the God King of Time's memories, but Li Yang calmly browsed them with her Fortune Spirit's help.
• Daowu arrived in a dazzling beam of light, and Li Yang prepared to negotiate with him while holding the Authority of Time in her Origin Soul.
