• The name "Dao" earned the Primordial Wilderness merit, and Fang Xun and the gathered immortals left to cultivate after the debate.

Fang Xun absorbed the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree branch’s power, then discovered that Hongjun had grafted the Fate Primordial Era into the Primordial Wilderness, producing duplicate versions of figures such as Kong Qiu. After realizing the duplicates could not reach Da Luo or kill one another, Fang Xun considered ways to resolve their shared destiny and Space-Time Singularity problem.

Fang Xun created the Unique Destiny cultivation method and received a strand of lightning that awakened memories of the previous Myriad Heavens Dao Tree. He discovered that the lightning came from the Aesir’s world and ended by wondering whether it belonged to the God of Thunder.

Fang Xun discovered that Thor, a powerful figure searching for branches of the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree, might have found the Primordial Wilderness and convinced Hongjun the Dao Ancestor to help lure him into a trap. With Nuwa’s reluctant agreement to protect him nearby, Fang Xun entered Chaos as bait.

• Fang Xun examined the lightning and learned that Thor was searching for Myriad Heavens Dao Tree branches, then asked Ye Fan to investigate the surrounding Chaos.
• After Ye Fan found traces of lightning but no sign of Thor or his world, Fang Xun confronted Hongjun the Dao Ancestor and argued that Thor had to be lured out and brutally defeated.
• Hongjun the Dao Ancestor used the Jade Plate of Creation to investigate Fang Xun’s theory and eventually agreed to the plan.

• Fang Xun wielded the Chaos Bell, Taiji Diagram, and Pangu Banner to summon an axe light that blasted Gungnir away and frightened Thor.
• Nuwa struck Thor's glabella with Creation Opens Heaven, causing him to collapse into Nothingness.

• As Fang Xun connected his will to the world at Bifrost's end, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, Nuwa, and the others shouted for him to stop, and Bifrost suffered a terrifying blow.

Fang Xun and his allies confronted the Aesir’s World Tree, but its defenders used its power to teleport the entire world away. After returning to the Primordial Wilderness, Fang Xun and Hongjun agreed to bring the Fourth Calamity’s Journey to the West forward, while Meng Qi’s universal network spread across the world and attracted users from other All Heavens.

As the hidden Fate Demon God began grafting Zhuang Zhou's Destiny onto himself, Fang Xun revealed that he had summoned an expert who could stop the grafting without invoking Primordial Da Luo power.
