• Nuwa, Houtu, Taiyi, the Three Pure Ones, and the others applauded Li Fan’s decision, while Zhunti and Jieyin accepted that future negotiations would take place within its framework.

After the Buddha-Devil Calamity, the Three Pure Ones discovered that the Immeasurable Kalpa had begun and that the Primordial World was collapsing. They sent the Daoist Sect disciples away with protective talismans, leaving them scattered across the realms to seek a chance of survival.

• The Three Pure Ones sensed the Great Dao cracking and ordered the Daoist Sect to leave Kunlun Mountain.

• The Three Pure Ones remained at Jade Void Palace as the disciples departed into a world where heaven and earth themselves were collapsing.

Li Fan explained that the Immeasurable Kalpa was the Primordial World's inevitable reckoning as its origin collapsed. With the goddesses' support, he began using Grand Unity Heaven and the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls to cultivate the Primordial Purple Lotus and advance the pearls toward a Chaos Supreme Treasure, while sensing a hidden force behind events.

• Manjushri, Puxian, and Cihang asked Li Fan why the Immeasurable Kalpa had brought the Primordial World to the brink of destruction, and he explained that it was heaven and earth's final reckoning.
• Li Fan and the goddesses examined the five lotus platforms, the Reincarnation Purple Lotus, and the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, confirming they could form the Primordial Purple Lotus.
• Xihua and Yaochi reported that the Five Heavenly Realms' defenses were ready, and Li Fan declared that they would use Grand Unity Heaven's fortunes to ripen the lotus and advance the pearls.
• Nuwa, Houtu, Xihe, Changxi, and Goddess Taiyuan pledged to support the undertaking and defend against interference.
• Cihang used the Jade Pure Bottle's last Sweet Dew to shelter cultivators arriving from across the Prehistoric Universe.
• Li Fan sank his mind into the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl as its Chaos Supreme Treasure aura awakened, but he remained wary of a hidden force driving events.

As the Immeasurable Kalpa threw time into chaos, Ancestor Dragon blew up the East Sea's Eye and declared the Dragon Clan’s refusal to guard the Return to Ruins. The other Dragon Kings mobilized their clans, while the Three Pure Ones and other ancient powers reacted to the upheaval.

• Ancestor Dragon detonated the East Sea's Eye, unleashing a torrent of time and destroying the East Sea Dragon Palace; Elder Candle Dragon used the turmoil to reach the Perfection of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
• Ao Guang ordered the East Sea Dragon Clan to awaken and declared that the clan would be free of its former duties.
• Ao Run rallied the West Sea Dragon Clan to defend its waters, while Ao Qin ordered the South Sea Dragon Clan to fight against time and reclaim its lost years and freedom.
• Elder Candle Dragon appeared at Zhong Mountain and declared that the Immeasurable Kalpa was the Return to Ruins cycle, which the Dragon Clan had accelerated.
• Yuanfeng and Shi Qilin assessed the Dragon Clan’s rebellion, while the Three Pure Ones argued over Ancestor Dragon’s actions and the Primordial Beginning Heavenly King cursed him for worsening the disorder of time.

As the Immeasurable Kalpa spread across the Primordial World, the ancient clans began evacuating to safer realms. Bai Li moved the entire Qingqiu Sacred Realm to Grand Unity Heaven, while the Four Symbols Great Thousand World sheltered the other clans.

• Ancestor Dragon moved the Dragon Clan into the Four Symbols Great Thousand World to escape the black tide and Calamity Qi.
• The Phoenix Clan, White Tiger Clan, and Black Tortoise Clan followed, while Shi Qilin brought the Qilin Clan into the Black Tortoise Realm.
• Bai Li used a Hunyuan divine ability to remove all of Qingqiu from the Primordial World and severed its karmic ties to the world and Heavenly Dao.
• Ancestor Dragon, Vermillion Bird, Shi Qilin, Black Tortoise, and the Three Pure Ones watched Bai Li's feat with astonishment and admiration.
• The five ancient clans gathered in the Four Symbols Great Thousand World, while the Qingqiu Fox Clan took refuge in Grand Unity Heaven as the black tide continued to spread.

Li Fan and the goddesses forged the Primordial Purple Lotus and Sea-Calming Chaos Pearl into twin Chaos Supreme Treasures with the Great Dao’s aid. As merit and power spread across the worlds, Li Fan prepared to face the Immeasurable Kalpa, while Shichen appeared in the River of Time and called out to Pangu.

• Li Fan, the goddesses, and the Creation Demoness joined forces to advance the Primordial Purple Lotus and Sea-Calming Chaos Pearl, drawing the Great Dao’s true body to intervene.
• The Great Dao infused both treasures with Hongmeng Purple Qi, and Li Fan and his allies completed their transformation into Chaos Supreme Treasures.
• The Great Dao bestowed merit across the Primordial World, empowering Li Fan and the goddesses as beings throughout many worlds reacted with awe, jealousy, and resentment.
• Li Fan declared that the completed treasures would secure their foundation and said he would face the Immeasurable Kalpa next.
• Shichen manifested in the River of Time, offered himself as a sacrifice, and called out to Pangu.

Shichen sacrificed himself to unleash a Great Dao-level strike against Pangu, while Primordial Beginning Heavenly King sacrificed his Dao Foundation to interfere. Li Fan suppressed the catastrophe, but Shichen’s final move left Pangu’s complete return difficult, and Primordial Lord of Heaven began absorbing the remnants to advance.

• Shichen sacrificed his Primordial Dao Fruit and fused the River of Time into a sword aimed at Pangu.
• Primordial Beginning Heavenly King struck at Shichen, was badly wounded, then sacrificed his own Dao Foundation to disrupt the sword.
• Li Fan entered the Prehistoric Universe and used the Primordial Purple Lotus and Sea-Stabilizing Chaos Pearl to calm the River of Time and imprison Shichen’s remaining power.
• Shichen revealed that his sacrifice had already marked the Great Dao and hindered Pangu’s complete return before his phantom vanished.
• Primordial Beginning Heavenly King faded away, while Primordial Lord of Heaven absorbed his remnants and advanced along the Hunyuan Grand Beginning path.
• Lingbao Tianzun considered inheriting Primordial Beginning’s Daoist tradition if Yuanshi returned to heaven and earth.

Pangu's attempt to strike the Great Dao failed, and Li Fan returned to Grand Unity Palace to discuss how Pangu might enter reincarnation. Li Fan suspected Pangu was letting events unfold as part of a hidden plan and told Houtu to leave a deceptive opening in the Nine Paths of Reincarnation so Pangu would reveal his choice.

• Pangu and his temporal counterpart attacked the Great Dao with their World-Opening Axes, but its source pressure shattered their strikes and froze them in place.
• Li Fan reclaimed the Primordial Purple Lotus and Sea-Stabilizing Chaos Pearl, then returned to Grand Unity Palace, where Nuwa and the other goddesses welcomed him and asked about his treasures.
• Houtu asked how Pangu should be handled if he returned through reincarnation, and Li Fan explained that his fate could affect the foundation of the Primordial World.
• Li Fan suggested that Pangu might be going along with the events leading to his reincarnation, and the goddesses considered how his apparent defeat could fit a larger plan.
• Li Fan told Houtu to leave a seemingly real but false opening in the Hongmeng Supreme Dao so Pangu would have to reveal which path of reincarnation he chose.

The Immeasurable Kalpa shattered the Primordial World’s star-energy network, ushering in an age of annihilation and an era-long blizzard that froze the world. Amid the catastrophe, Xuanming forged the Great Dao of bitter winter through her own body and will, becoming a Hunyuan Grand Unity ruler as the snow continued to fall.

• The collapse of the Auxiliary Star nodes left the Supreme Stars’ light unusable across the Primordial World, while the lingering Immeasurable Kalpa slowed the laws and transformations of heaven and earth.
• Jieyin broke through to the Innate Five Primes realm and stepped onto the Hunyuan Great Dao of Taishi as the scattered stars went dark and the Primordial World’s entropy reached its extreme.
• An era-long blizzard buried the Primordial World, freezing its lands, blessed places, battlefields, and myriad living beings in an icebound cage.
• Xuanming absorbed the world’s cold, ice, annihilation, and stillness, relying on her flesh and will rather than the weakened River of Time to advance toward Hunyuan.
• Xuanming declared that she would vindicate the Hunyuan Great Dao of bitter winter and became the sole ruler of the age of absolute zero, while the great snow continued through the Dharma-Ending Age.

Xuanming attained the Dao of Hunyuan through the extreme-cold calamity and pledged to protect the Primordial World. As the great powers celebrated, the frozen world erupted with new life, while Jieyin’s law cultivation slowed again.

• Dijiang and the Ancestral Witches congratulated Xuanming on attaining the Dao, and she promised to protect the Primordial World and her lineage.
• The Three Pure Ones, Ancestor Dragon, Minghe, Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Yuanfeng, Li Fan, and other great powers offered Xuanming congratulations.
• Li Fan declared that he would stand with Xuanming through the extreme-cold calamity, and Xuanming vowed to help welcome the Newborn Primordial World.

• Xuanming watched life flourish amid annihilation and recognized that survival remained the Primordial World’s enduring force.
• Jieyin cried out as the progress of his law cultivation slowed once again.

The Return to Ruins broke the Great Dao’s uniqueness, causing duplicate versions of powerful beings to appear and threatening the Primordial World with collapse. Li Fan used the Primordial Purple Lotus and the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls to begin suppressing the crisis, then prepared to sever the illusory shadows himself.

• Li Fan and Goddess Wangshu recognized that the Return to Ruins was rewriting existence and creating duplicate imprints throughout the Heavenly Realms.
• The Death Demon God declared that the Great Terror would make all beings deny themselves, shaking the Human Dao saints and cracking Xuanyuan’s Dao Heart.
• Two Pangu figures completed the Time Loop, and Li Fan abandoned the original plan to suppress the Return to Ruins with Chaos Supreme treasures.
• Li Fan joined the Primordial Purple Lotus with the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls and unleashed the Taiyang and World Origin Great Daos across the Inner Chaos.
• Duplicate versions of the Three Pure Ones, Buddhist figures, and other mighty beings appeared, while the Primordial World’s laws began to overlap and conflict.
• Li Fan gripped the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler and declared that he would personally sever the illusory shadows.

Li Fan destroyed the Guixu’s false manifestations and halted its invasion, saving the Primordial World. But the boundary between the Inner and Outer Chaos collapsed, leaving the Prehistoric Universe exposed to the raging Chaos.

• Li Fan used the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, the Thirty-Six Sea-Calming Divine Pearls, and the Primordial Purple Lotus to sever the false Dao’s distortions and destroy its phantoms.
• Nuwa and Fuxi followed Li Fan as he cut apart the tangled spacetime, Yin Yang, and cause and effect, while Nuwa kept her attention on him.
• Li Fan crushed the false sages’ attacks with the purple imperial seal and refined their remains, restoring the Primordial World’s origins and healing damage to Xuanyuan and the Three Pure Ones.
• With the Primordial World’s spirits, sages, and Heavenly Dao lending their power, Li Fan unleashed Hongmeng Taiyi divine light at the Guixu’s origin and halted its spreading terror.
• The Inner and Outer Chaos boundaries vanished, and Chaos Boundary Thunder and turbulent currents threatened to sweep the Prehistoric Universe away.
• Taishang, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Lingbao Tianzun recognized the danger, while Li Fan privately wondered whether it was time to replace the current savior.

Li Fan watched as the Primordial World drifted through Chaos, with Nuwa taking charge of steering it while the immortals repaired its damaged barrier. The world approached a Chaos Graveyard filled with Demon God remains and treasure fragments, where a deadly pressure began to emerge.

• The Zhou Tian Star Array transformed into a traction array and pulled the Primordial World and Five Heavenly Realms into Chaos, while Hongjun and Haotian moved Purple Cloud Palace closer for protection.
• Empress Ziguang warned of a collapsing void ahead, and Li Fan, Goddess Taiyuan, Kunpeng, Zhen Yuanzi, Ancestor Dragon, and others slowed the world and repaired its barrier.
• As the Heavenly Dao delegated authority, Nuwa used the Heavenly Dao Wheel to steer the Primordial World through Chaos, spinning it sharply and prompting Kunpeng to complain about a newly damaged hole.
• Nuwa refused Lingbao Tianzun's request to steer and invited Li Fan to try, while Goddess Taiyuan detected a dead-silent Chaos Graveyard ahead.
• Li Fan recognized the graveyard as a site containing remnants from Pangu's battle and scattered Demon God and Chaos spiritual treasure fragments, as a pressure of death began to spill toward the Primordial World.

Li Fan and the others entered the Chaos Graveyard after three ancient treasures appeared, but a battle to claim them awakened a terrifying demon god formed from the dead. Li Fan exposed Life Heavenly Maiden as the one behind the scheme, and she proposed joining forces against Pangu.

• Li Fan recognized the Time Wheel, Fate Compass, and Reincarnation Heavenly Disk as fragments of the supreme treasures belonging to three great demon gods, while noticing Life Heavenly Maiden was missing.
• Zhunti, Kunpeng, Taiyi, Ancestor Dragon, and the arriving Chaos Demon Gods fought over the treasures, triggering the graveyard’s collapse into chaos.
• The three treasures merged and unleashed a vortex that revived the Co-Lord Demon God, trapping everyone inside with a sweeping beam of light.
• Li Fan identified Life Heavenly Maiden as the hidden schemer, and she appeared and admitted she had planned to recover her strength and reclaim what was hers.
• Life Heavenly Maiden asked Li Fan to cooperate with her and fight Pangu.

The Life Heavenly Maiden tried to recruit Li Fan with offers of children and harmonized origin bonds, but he rejected both proposals as Nuwa, Houtu, and Goddess Wangshu challenged her motives. The Co-Lord Demon God then unleashed the [Thousand Words], whose Three Thousand Great Daos trapped and crushed the assembled Chaos Demon Gods and Prehistoric cultivators, leaving Li Fan impressed by the Life Heavenly Maiden’s reckless scheme.

• The Life Heavenly Maiden offered to bear Li Fan an Innate Supreme Body child, but he firmly refused.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden offered to merge the origin bonds of Li Fan and the goddesses, prompting Nuwa, Houtu, and Goddess Wangshu to warn him that she was scheming.
• The Co-Lord Demon God interrupted the tense exchange and used the [Thousand Words] to order the elimination of everyone present.
• The Co-Lord Demon God converged the Three Thousand Great Daos, locking down Kunpeng, Zhunti, Ancestor Dragon, Taiyi, the Cangli Clan, and the Chaos Demon Gods.
• Li Fan watched the Life Heavenly Maiden’s indiscriminate attack and recognized her talent for throwing the Prehistoric Universe into chaos.

The Life Heavenly Maiden harvested the Chaos Graveyard to forge the Three Talents Life Dao Disk while Li Fan and the others watched. In the Primordial World, the frozen four seas became a battleground as cultivators fought over the Dragon Clan’s abandoned treasures, and the ice-bound East Sea’s conflicts continued to escalate.

• The Life Heavenly Maiden combined the Time Wheel, Fate Compass, and Reincarnation Heavenly Disk, using the gathered laws and origins to create the Three Talents Life Dao Disk.
• Li Fan, Wangshu, and the other powerful figures chose not to intervene as the Chaos Graveyard’s would-be contenders were sacrificed to the forging.
• As the three realms endured the Ice Age, survivors settled on the frozen seas, where Tongtian Jianmu stood embedded in the ice.
• Cultivators began excavating the Dragon Clan’s abandoned treasures, sparking a three-thousand-year war across the East Sea.
• Candle Dragon declared that the Dragon Clan had forsaken the frozen seas and would not return, after which major forces divided the East Sea and established strongholds.
• The East Sea remained a lawless arena of smaller battles as cultivators pursued dragon relics and stirred secrets beneath the ice.

The Life Heavenly Maiden completed the Three Talents Life Dao Disk and revealed that Hongjun was destined to become the Heavenly Dao’s ninth Saint, giving him authority to shape the heavens during the Immeasurable Kalpa. She left with the treasure, while freed Chaos Demon Gods began departing the Primordial World.

• The Life Heavenly Maiden told Li Fan that she did not possess the Heavenly Dao’s “Heavenly Balance” and revealed that Hongjun’s ninth Saint position had been decided long ago.
• Li Fan and the Life Heavenly Maiden explained that Hongjun would use the enduring ninth Saint position to stabilize the Immeasurable Kalpa and determine the fate of the heavens, angering the Three Pure Ones.
• The Three Talents Life Dao Disk resonated with the Co-Lord Demon God’s origin, absorbed it, and completed its integration with the Three Thousand Great Daos.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden proposed that she and Li Fan might join forces, but Li Fan warned her that their aims could not conflict; she then left with the disk.
• The Chaos Graveyard’s suppression lifted, freeing Taiyi, Zhunti, and the other trapped figures, and several Chaos Demon Gods left the Primordial World.

As the Primordial World drifted through chaos under its autonomous defenses, Xuanming visited Grand Unity Heaven and reassured Houtu that life in the frozen world remained stable. Meanwhile, Taiyi feared losing his standing as the Heavenly Dao’s Saint positions shifted, and Kunpeng prepared to seize control of the Demon Race.

• The Primordial World continued its journey through the Turbulent Flow while the Zhou Tian Star Array protected it and kept the world stable.
• Xuanming visited Grand Unity Heaven, and Houtu welcomed her before asking about the frozen Primordial World.
• Xuanming told Houtu that her Hunyuan Law suppressed the cold and that the races were living securely.
• Taiyi worried that he could not become Hunyuan before the Heavenly Dao Saint positions changed, while the six Demon Race Crown Princes urged him to plan for their survival.
• Kunpeng judged Taiyi to be vulnerable and secretly anticipated taking control of the Demon Race.

Taiyi consulted Shang Yang and Qin Yuan about the Demon Race’s decline, then resolved to strike at the Human Dao before Kunpeng could take control. In the Grand Unity Palace, Li Fan and the others debated whether the Human Dao could ever be perfected, leaving its scope and relationship to Pangu unresolved.

• Taiyi summoned Shang Yang and Qin Yuan, who argued that the Demon Race had to pay a price to restore its fortune and would eventually risk everything against the Human Dao.
• Taiyi decided that the Demon Race would deal the Human Dao a ruthless blow while he still held the Heavenly Dao saint seat, forcing Kunpeng to choose between taking control and sharing the Demon Race’s fate.
• Li Fan considered whether the Human Dao had reached the point where it could return to the Dao and become complete, while Nuwa and Wangshu warned that intervening in it carried deep consequences.
• Taiyuan argued that the Human Dao could not be perfected while it relied on all beings to nourish it, and Empress Ziguang asked whether Pangu would fall within its scope if he returned.
• Houtu pointed out that Earth Dao Reincarnation kept the Human Dao connected to all beings, while Xuanming and the others had no answer to the unresolved problem.

Hongjun returned as the Heavenly Dao’s Ninth Saint and tried to strip Taiyi of his saintly position, but Taiyi resisted and rallied opposition to Hongjun’s attempt to consolidate power. The Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Nuwa joined the confrontation, leaving Hongjun facing the gathered saints.

• Hongjun reformed the Heavenly Dao Rule and declared himself the Ninth Saint, claiming authority over the heavens and all saints.
• Taiyi felt his Saint Dao Fruit being stripped away, then burned his Solar Origin to resist and forced the Ice Age to recede.
• The Twelve Saints of the Human Dao moved to suppress Taiyi as he attacked the Human Dao Foundation, but Taiyi challenged Hongjun and invoked the Heavenly Emperor’s lack of consent.
• Jieyin and Zhunti condemned Hongjun’s merger of the Ninth Saint Position, and the Three Pure Ones joined them against him.
• Nuwa arrived, rebuked Hongjun, and sided against his attempt to incorporate all saints while Li Fan and Goddess Wangshu watched from Grand Unity Palace.

Hongjun agreed to let the eight Sages comprehend the Jade Plate of Creation for three epochs, but his restrictions exposed his attempt to confine them. Nuwa escaped the restriction, while Li Fan and Wangshu watched from Grand Unity Heaven as Hongjun’s plan secured only a partial victory.

• Nuwa and the other Sages challenged Hongjun’s attempt to reclaim their Saint positions, and Hongjun offered them three epochs to comprehend the Jade Plate of Creation.
• Hongjun revealed the jade plate, imposed restrictions on the eight Sages, and left Haotian to supervise them.
• Nuwa ignored the restrictions, examined the jade plate, and departed, while Taiyi stayed to comprehend it.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven prepared to leave, and Haotian tried to persuade the Sages to remain and comply with Hongjun’s arrangement.
• Li Fan and Wangshu observed from Grand Unity Heaven, and Wangshu said Hongjun had won only half.
