After Vishnu briefly opened his eyes, Fang Xun sensed a new change in the Depths of Chaos and feared he had become its medium.

• Fang Xun showed the Sages the bound origins of Jehovah and other supreme existences, explaining that they would awaken after Pangu disappeared and could bring the Primordial Wilderness to Gui Xu.

Fang Xun discovered that Vishnu’s conch had sent the Mythological Worlds an image of Buzhou Mountain and briefly awakened their supreme beings. The worlds began discussing an alliance against the Primordial Wilderness, so Fang Xun decided to intensify his offensive before they could act.

• Fang Xun realized that his passage through the Gate of Myriad Heavens had transmitted information into Chaos and traced its disturbance to Vishnu’s conch.

• Loki, Emperor Indra, Michael, and the Goddess of Wisdom exchanged what they had learned and reached an unspoken understanding about confronting the Primordial Wilderness.
• Hongjun the Daoist and Fate Demon God considered the threat of a war between Limitless Ones as Fang Xun heard the conch’s call and ordered the offensive intensified.

After the war, Fang Xun rewarded the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortals and welcomed the Chaos Demon Gods into the Primordial Wilderness, while the battle’s inheritances strengthened the world. He then helped Heng'e confront the crisis in her breakthrough and proposed a way for her to become a lifeform like the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree, though he did not yet know how to achieve it.

• Fang Xun gave the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortals Myriad Heavens Dao Tree leaves and invited the Chaos Demon Gods to settle in the Primordial Wilderness, while Yangmei eagerly agreed to help him.
• Fang Xun recorded the battle’s spoils in the Heavenly Dao Origin, and Shangqing, Sun Wukong, Zhao Gongming, and others gained new inheritances.
• Heng'e began advancing to the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortal realm on the Moon Star, and Fang Xun realized her Myriad Heavens Taiyin cultivation depended on his support.
• Heng'e told Fang Xun that Pangu had said the Dao of Myriad Heavens Taiyin was feasible, and Fang Xun concluded that her borrowed Dao was causing her breakthrough crisis.
• Fang Xun offered Heng'e two possible paths: bind her Great Dao more closely to his or become a lifeform like him, and Heng'e chose the latter despite Fang Xun lacking a method.

Fang Xun helped Heng'e transform into a living being of All Heavens by giving her a portion of his origin, then guarded her as she assimilated the Taiyin Dao across countless worlds. After nearly ten thousand years, Heng'e awakened to her new existence, while Fang Xun left Lin Ming with a Seed and an invitation to visit the Primordial Wilderness.

• Fang Xun pressed a portion of his origin into Heng'e, activating the marks she had left across worlds and beginning her transformation into the incarnation of Taiyin.

• Fang Xun introduced himself as Xuansu to Lin Ming, who challenged him with Heavenly Dao Judgment; their attacks collided, and Lin Ming gained insight from the battle.
• Fang Xun and Lin Ming debated their cultivation systems for ten thousand years, then Fang Xun gave Lin Ming a Seed as compensation and invited him to the Primordial Wilderness.
• Heng'e awakened on the Moon Star of the Primordial Wilderness, struggled to adjust to existing throughout All Heavens, and then understood Fang Xun's joy.

Fang Xun received Pangu’s memories of the Myriad Heavens Dao Tree being felled and gained insight into the coexistence of existence and nothingness. When he returned to Buzhou Mountain, he learned that Chaos had frozen and the Mythological World was hunting other Wuji Worlds.

• Fang Xun helped Heng'e adapt to becoming a being of All Heavens, then left her to cultivate in seclusion.
• Fang Xun found a hidden palace in Buzhou Mountain containing the previous Myriad Heavens Dao Tree’s Tree Stump and witnessed Pangu’s memory of striking the tree with the Sky-Opening Divine Axe.

• Fang Xun learned that the Mythological Worlds had destroyed more than ten Wuji Worlds and joined Hong Yi and Qin Mu in planning to intercept their hunts.
• Fang Xun and the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortals drove Michael and Athena away, captured two defenders, and dragged their ravaged Wuji World into the Primordial Wilderness to be assimilated.
• Fang Xun led the Primordial Wilderness through the Depths of Chaos and seized more than forty Wuji Worlds over two thousand Yuan Hui, while the Mythological Worlds hunted their own prey.
• Fang Xun concluded that the Mythological Worlds still intended to target Buzhou Mountain and ordered Heng'e to activate the Primordial Wilderness’s defenses.
• Heng'e activated the improved Cosmic Stars Great Array and the Heavenly Dao Origin Divine Authority Great Array, establishing the first and second lines of defense.

Fang Xun led Primordial Wilderness through the opening clash with the Mythological Worlds, stopping the Box of Cold Ice before it froze the entire world. After Heng'e's Cosmic Stars Great Array fell and the first line of defense broke, the Goddess of Wisdom and War entered Primordial Wilderness, where Fang Xun raised the Heavenly Dao Great Wall and faced the invading gods, angels, and Hongjun the Daoist.

• Fang Xun sensed the Mythological Worlds approaching, summoned the Primordial Da Luo Golden Immortals back to Primordial Wilderness, and prepared the defenses.
• The Box of Cold Ice tried to freeze Primordial Wilderness, but Fang Xun struck it with True Heavenly Dao Judgment and sent it flying into Chaos.
• The Box of Cold Ice returned and self-destructed, unleashing extreme cold that Heng'e resisted with the Cosmic Stars Great Array until the array broke and she was injured.
• Fang Xun stabilized Heng'e as the frozen Starry Sky split open, allowing the Goddess of Wisdom and War to enter Primordial Wilderness with the Aegis of Zeus.
• Fang Xun raised the Heavenly Dao Great Wall as Michael, Loki, Emperor Indra, and other Mythological World forces gathered, while Hongjun the Daoist appeared outside the wall.
