Hongjun came to Grand Unity Heaven to propose setting rules jointly before the Immeasurable Kalpa, but Li Fan rejected joint rule and defined the limits of the Heavenly Dao’s authority. Hongjun accepted the arrangement and left after issuing a Heavenly Dao Decree.

• Hongjun arrived at Grand Unity Heaven, where Nuwa and Nüyi confronted him as he approached Li Fan.
• Hongjun said he wanted to establish order with Li Fan before the Immeasurable Kalpa, but Li Fan accused him of using the Eight Sages’ return to pressure him.
• Nuwa, Nüyi, Goddess Wangshu, Goddess Taiyuan, and Empress Ziguang rebuked Hongjun and opposed his plan for joint rule.
• Li Fan refused joint rule and said Hongjun could establish the Nine Poles but must limit the Heavenly Dao to maintaining its laws and order.
• Hongjun accepted Li Fan’s terms, sent a Heavenly Dao Decree toward the Primordial World, and departed Grand Unity Heaven.

Li Fan reviewed the ten harsh laws the Heavenly Dao had developed in the End of Dharma Era and reflected on how the Dao had evolved through successive ages. He assessed the Hunyuan progress of himself and the goddesses, Three Pure Ones, and other ancient powers, leaving the Great Dao’s unequal paths and Pangu’s absence unresolved.

• Li Fan summarized the Heavenly Dao’s ten ultimate laws, from the Light Speed Barrier and Absolute Zero to Vacuum Decay and the Law of Entropy Increase.

• Li Fan recalled that the Three Pure Ones and other Innate Five Primes cultivators had settled on Hunyuan Taichu before seeking individual Great Dao paths, while Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin pursued Hunyuan Taiji through the Five Elements.
• Li Fan reflected that talent, origins, opportunities, and treasures shaped one’s chances in the Great Dao, and wondered why Pangu had not returned.

Pangu returned through reincarnation and his supreme Dao rhythm overwhelmed the Primordial World, forcing Saints, clans, and mighty beings to submit. Li Fan and Hongjun recognized that Pangu’s arrival threatened the existing order, while the Chaos Demon Gods prepared to carry out the Life Heavenly Maiden’s plan.

• Pangu’s voice opened Hongmeng, and his returning aura disrupted the Three Pure Ones and shook Zhunti, Jieyin, and Taiyi.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Witch Clan prostrated themselves before Pangu, while Houtu welcomed him at the end of reincarnation.
• Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, and Shi Qilin felt Pangu’s bloodline and Dao rhythm suppress them.
• Li Fan sensed Pangu’s power and concluded that the Hongmeng Supreme Dao could introduce the greatest variable beneath the Great Dao Chess Game.
• Hongjun found his Heavenly Dao authority suppressed by Pangu, undermining his plan to unify the Nine Saints.
• The 999 Chaos Demon Gods debated fleeing but chose to carry out the Life Heavenly Maiden’s plan as all beings across the Primordial World bowed before Pangu.

As Pangu reincarnated and reshaped the Primordial World, Li Fan and the other Hunyuan beings secretly siphoned off its origin to strengthen themselves. Pangu eventually warned them, and Li Fan stopped while Houtu kept absorbing; the chapter ended with Hongjun resenting Li Fan for leaving him out and drawing Pangu’s attention.

• Pangu’s reincarnation caused strange changes across the Primordial World, and Hongjun wondered whether they foretold the Immeasurable Kalpa.
• Li Fan used the Sea-Stabilizing Chaos Pearls to secretly absorb Primordial origin, and Wangshu, Taiyuan, Nuwa, and Houtu joined in.
• The stolen origin strengthened Li Fan and the others, while Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones watched and wondered who was paying the cost.
• After another One Eon, Li Fan urged the others to stop when he sensed Pangu’s displeasure, but Houtu continued absorbing origin.
• Pangu sent a warning that intimidated the Hunyuan Grand Unity beings, then withdrew without punishing them; Li Fan joked that Pangu was sensible.
• Hongjun complained that Li Fan had excluded him and left him to be singled out by Pangu.

Hongjun fused his three corpse incarnations and transformed his Heavenly Dao Saint position into the independent Limitless Primordial Saint position. He declared his Dao complete as his new power resounded across the realms, while Chen Sheng watched anxiously from the Human Race altar.

• Hongjun prepared to merge his three corpse Primordial Spirits and remake his Ninth Saint position as the Limitless was born.
• Chen Sheng watched from the Human Race Altar as Hongjun’s rising pressure forced beings across the Earth Immortal Realm to kneel, and he resolved to protect his clansmen.
• Hongjun reunited his Good, Evil, and Obsession corpses with his main Primordial Spirit and reshaped his old Heavenly Dao Saint position into a new Limitless Saint position.
• The Great Dao resisted Hongjun’s transformation with tribulations, but Hongjun used the Jade Butterfly of Creation to block them.
• Hongjun fused his Divine Soul, will, and Primordial Dao Fruit with the new Saint position, then proclaimed himself the Limitless Primordial Supreme Saint and declared his Dao complete.

Li Fan recognized that the Primordial World’s Immeasurable Kalpa was rooted in a systemic cycle that could not be escaped by ordinary reform, and resolved to break the deadlock himself. He appointed Yaochi to reorganize the Primordial World’s factions with sweeping authority, beginning a crackdown on those who defied the Heavenly Emperor, especially the Demon Race.

• Li Fan surveyed the recurring cycles of dynastic collapse and karmic reckoning, concluding that the Immeasurable Kalpa threatened the entire Primordial World.
• Li Fan traveled to the Western Haotian Realm and summoned Yaochi, declaring that he would create his own way to break the deadlock.
• Li Fan ordered Yaochi to reorganize all forces in the Primordial World and kill anyone who obstructed her or defied his authority.
• Li Fan gave Yaochi temporary imperial authority to command the heavenly realm’s Grand Unity Experts and execute those who refused discipline.
• Yaochi mobilized the Western Haotian Realm and issued decrees to begin reorganizing factions across the Primordial World.
• Li Fan turned his attention toward the increasingly defiant Demon Race and prepared to restore order under his rule.

Yaochi led the Hall of Myriad Gods in a sweeping campaign to restore order across the Primordial World, purging the Demon Race and cracking down on corrupt human factions. Li Fan watched the new order take hold, but viewed it only as the first step toward preparing for the approaching Immeasurable Kalpa.

• Yaochi announced the Heavenly Emperor’s decree, and the Hall of Myriad Gods and the Star Gods mobilized to suppress disobedient forces across the Primordial World.
• The Innate and Postnatal Deities, joined by the Dragon Clan, enforced the decree and launched a purge of the Demon Race.
• Yaochi oversaw the destruction of the Demon Race’s three strongholds and ordered its chief Wicked demoted to mortals under the supervision of All Heavens.
• Yaochi and the Hall of Myriad Gods confronted human Righteous Path Practitioners who exploited the people and claimed to represent the Human Race orthodoxy.
• For a hundred thousand years, the Hall of Myriad Gods enforced the new rules, and the forces of the Prehistoric Universe accepted the Heavenly Emperor’s authority.
• Li Fan watched order return and concluded that the campaign was only the first step in preparing the people for the approaching Immeasurable Kalpa.

The Life Heavenly Maiden and the Creation Demoness launched a scheme to force Pangu into reincarnation as the Life Heavenly Maiden’s child. Their array began dragging him from Primordial Reincarnation and stripping away his power, leaving Pangu furious and on the verge of being reborn.

• Yaochi returned to the Haotian Realm after handling Li Fan’s matter, and Li Fan crossed the Great Thousand Worlds to join her on the way to the Grand Unity Palace.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden began her family-planning scheme, combining the Three Pure Ones’ and Twelve Ancestral Witches’ bloodlines to bind Pangu through the Great Dao of Life.
• Pangu sensed the Life Heavenly Maiden’s scheme in Primordial Reincarnation and angrily cursed her, while Houtu, Taishang, Yuanshi, Lingbao, and Xuanming realized what was happening.
• The Life Heavenly Maiden began the Heaven-Defying Reincarnation Array, and the Creation Demoness arrived to help her, seeking revenge on Pangu for the past.
• The two demonesses joined Life and Creation powers to seize Pangu’s soul, drain his heaven-opening power, and compress his Divine Soul until he was almost about to be born.

Li Fan stopped Creation Demoness and Life Heavenly Maiden from disrupting Pangu's reincarnation, but the Three Pure Ones' meddling led to the birth of Pangu's fourth Pure One, Xuanqing. Li Fan appointed Xuanqing to govern the Xuanyuan Great Dao, leaving the Primordial World with a new Innate Saint.

• Li Fan suppressed Creation Demoness and Life Heavenly Maiden, restoring Pangu's stripped heaven-opening power and freeing him from their Reincarnation Array.
• The Three Pure Ones used their subtracting-to-seek-emptiness method on Pangu, causing Xuanqing to be born from a wisp of Pangu's origin.
• Xuanqing's arrival shook the Primordial All Heavens, and Ancestor Dragon, Yuanfeng, Shi Qilin, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Zhunti, Hongjun, and Yunxiao reacted to the new Pangu lineage Saint.
• Li Fan formally appointed Xuanqing to govern the Xuanyuan Great Dao, and Xuanqing accepted his decree.

Xuanqing established ten cultivation sequences that let beings of any race advance by drawing on the Primordial World's source, opening a path to become an Acquired Saint. As the new system stirred the Primordial World and altered the Immeasurable Kalpa, Chaos Demon Gods tried to steal the source directly, triggering a vast calamity and the descent of the Demon God of Truth.

• The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors sealed humanity's history into an enduring Humanity Dao foundation, and Xuanqing proclaimed ten cultivation sequences across the Primordial World.
• Beings across the Primordial World learned that the sequences offered a path to Acquired Sainthood regardless of birth or race, and Grand Unity experts celebrated the opportunity.
• Hongjun woke from seclusion and believed Pangu had favored Xuanqing, while the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, Fuxi, and Xuanyuan weighed the consequences of the changes.
• Li Fan anticipated that greedy beings would attempt to seize the Primordial World's source, and Chaos Demon Gods began extracting it directly to steal the Acquired Saint Dao Fruit.
• The Primordial World's source trembled, the ten cultivation sequences flickered, and the Demon God of Truth descended as a vast calamity began.

Xuanqing battled the Demon God of Truth, whose attacks threatened the Primordial World’s source, until Li Fan arrived and erased him with overwhelming power. The Primordial beings recognized that Li Fan had surpassed the Hunyuan realm and pledged their loyalty to the Heavenly Emperor.

• The Demon God of Truth attacked Xuanqing and began unraveling his Xuan Yuan Dao Domain.
• Xuanqing fought back with Pangu-powered Dao Seals, but the Demon God of Truth gradually gained the upper hand.
• Li Fan arrived, and Xuanqing withdrew respectfully as the Heavenly Emperor halted the battle.
• The Demon God of Truth declared himself the world’s truth, but Li Fan crushed his Great Dao and dissolved him with Chaos Law Power.
• The Primordial World’s source returned to calm, and the watching powers realized Li Fan had entered a new realm and vowed loyalty to him.

As Primordial Heaven and Earth faded, seven cultivators attained the Acquired Saint Sequence and took up positions across the Primordial World. Li Fan and the others watched from the Grand Unity Heaven Palace, accepting that the new Saints would now bear the world’s conflicts and calamities.

• After the Heavenly Emperor’s battle awakened the Chaos Demon Gods, beings across the Primordial worlds followed the Sequence laws and rapidly advanced their cultivation.
• Taihua completed her Origin Dao Foundation and became the foremost Acquired Saint, drawing Rogue Cultivators to honor her as their Dao leader.
• Yaoguang, Phoenix Lord Ling Xi, Qing Shuang Dragon Spirit, and Qisha Zhenjun attained their respective Sequence paths and gathered star officials, Phoenix followers, the Water Tribe, and warlike cultivators beneath them.
• Juling Xuan Yue rallied the remnants of the former Primordial Heavenly Court, while Qilin Lord Yu Xiang established a peaceful cultivation pure land in the Qilin Clan’s former territory.
• Li Fan, Wangshu, Empress Ziguang, Nuwa, and Taiyuan discussed the seven Saints’ choice to enter the Primordial World’s conflicts, and Li Fan declared that the Primordial Chess Game had returned to their hands.

As the Immeasurable Kalpa consumed the Primordial World, Li Fan summoned the fourth and final Grand Unity Assembly to decide the world's fate and sever the calamity's root. His edict reached all surviving powers, who set aside old grudges and began traveling to Grand Unity Heaven.

• Li Fan proclaimed the final Grand Unity Assembly after the Great Dao Gale threatened to overwhelm the Primordial World.
• Li Fan forged a Heavenly Emperor's Edict and sent it across the Primordial World, ordering all surviving Grand Unity beings, Saints, and peak mighty beings to attend.
• The edict reached the Underworld, the secluded Divine Beast Clans, the Witch Clan, human lands, and hidden cultivators throughout the world.
• Rogue cultivators, ancient Demon Clan mighty ones, Great Witches, and former enemies of the Heavenly Court began their journeys toward Grand Unity Heaven.
• The Three Pure Ones and the others in the Grand Unity Palace pledged to follow Li Fan, while Qing Shuang Dragon Spirit led billions of Water Tribe subjects away from the East Sea's spreading black tide.

As the Return to Ruins and the Great Dao’s extinction tribulation overwhelmed the Prehistoric Universe, the surviving powers gathered for the fourth Grand Unity Assembly to debate whether to resist, preserve reincarnation, or seek another escape. Li Fan ended the deadlocked arguments by declaring that the assembly would determine the Primordial World’s final dignity.

• Surviving powers from across the chaos assembled in the Grand Unity Divine Palace as the Zhou Tian Star Array began to fail.
• Primordial Lord of Heaven and Jieyin explained that neither heaven and earth’s origin nor the Zhou Tian Stars could stop the Great Dao’s calamity or Return to Ruins.
• Zhurong called for the Witch Clan to fight with their lives, while Lingbao argued that resistance would only feed Return to Ruins.
• Houtu proposed sealing Reincarnation to preserve a thread of hope, and Yuanshi and Nuwa challenged the cost and meaning of that path.
• As the Return to Ruins surged toward the earth, the assembly turned to Li Fan, who said they had gathered to determine the Primordial World’s final dignity.

At the end of the Fourth Grand Unity Final Dharma Assembly, Li Fan announced a final law that would preserve the Primordial World's will through a sacrifice to the Great Dao. He revealed that either Pangu or he would have to sacrifice a Great Dao to stop the annihilation, while Wangshu and the goddesses insisted Pangu should bear the cost.

• Li Fan proclaimed the end of the assembly and established a final law to engrave the Primordial World through a sacrifice to the Great Dao.
• The assembled powers left to defend the four polar heavenly realms against the advancing Chaos Black Tide.
• Li Fan remained in the Grand Unity Divine Palace, brought out the Primordial Purple Lotus, and used Hongmeng imperial fire to refine the invading Chaos Origin.
• Wangshu confronted Li Fan and demanded to know what he truly intended, so he explained that either Pangu or he had to sacrifice a Great Dao to save the universe.
• Wangshu and the gathered goddesses rejected Li Fan sacrificing himself and insisted that Pangu should fill Return to Ruins instead.

Li Fan and the goddesses planned to use the Primordial Purple Lotus to engrave the Prehistoric Universe and challenge the Dao’s imposed ending rather than sacrifice Pangu. As the universe’s factions weighed their options, Pangu reluctantly accepted their maneuvering so long as they did not force him to fill Return to Ruins.

• Li Fan explained that the Primordial Purple Lotus was gathering Chaos Origin to engrave the Prehistoric Universe, and he intended to reverse-prove the Dao’s rules rather than sacrifice Pangu.
• Ancestor Dragon protected his companions in a secret realm and chose to avoid the conflict, while Yuanfeng decided to watch for Li Fan’s next move.
• Taiqing Laozi, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Lingbao Tianzun discussed Pangu’s predicament and released a wisp of their Pangu Primordial Spirit origin for him to use if needed.
• Xuanqing waited at the Eye of Return to Ruins and considered claiming Pangu’s place and the Prehistoric Universe’s root if Pangu were annihilated.
• Pangu sensed the blame and pressure gathering against him, then resigned himself to Li Fan’s plans as long as no one forced him to fill Return to Ruins.

Li Fan reflected on the Primordial World’s decline and concluded that conflict and plunder were essential to life, while the world’s perfect laws still faced material limits. He realized that Pangu had been the first to believe in the Return to Ruins, and that Li Fan’s transmigration had become an inevitability of the Great Dao’s Space-Time Law.

• Li Fan traced the Primordial’s decline to the balance of plunder and conflict that sustained civilizations and living beings.
• He reasoned that Humanity Dao directed conflicts toward Heaven and Earth, while living beings themselves chose to struggle and seize resources.
• He concluded that Heaven, Earth, and Humanity formed a stable closed loop, but the depletion of their source meant even this order could not last forever.
• Li Fan realized that Pangu had been the first to believe in the Return to Ruins, a secret that would never be revealed.
• Li Fan understood that his transmigration had become an inevitable consequence of the Great Dao’s Space-Time Law, beyond even Pangu’s power to stop.

Pangu’s return divided the Primordial World’s forces between his camp and Li Fan’s, intensifying the Immeasurable Kalpa. While Pangu held back from confronting Li Fan, the Primordial parallel world and River of Time merged into Grand Unity Heaven, strengthening the Heavenly Emperor’s position.

• Pangu returned to the Primordial World, and major factions split between supporting him and following Li Fan.
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches, Four Pure Ones, Demon Race, and divine beast clans divided their loyalties, while hidden tensions grew across the world.
• Li Fan prepared for the escalating conflict with his allies, Hongjun, and Empress Ziguang, who began unsealing the Zhoutian Star Sky to rebuild it and take the original away.
• The Creation Demoness, Puti, and the Karma Demon God brought the parallel world’s River of Time and its three Supreme Stars into Grand Unity Heaven, reconnecting it with the River of Fate.
• Pangu sensed the merger but chose not to intervene, prioritizing his attempt to reach the Creation Great Dao.
• Taiqing warned that the merger would further strengthen Li Fan, while Gonggong struggled to contain his anger.

Li Fan established the Primordial Great Reincarnation to preserve living beings and the ten thousand Daos, opposing Pangu’s plan to destroy the Primordial World and recreate chaos through Guixu Reincarnation. The two Great Daos collided in a decisive battle, with the outcome still unresolved.

• The Primordial Purple Lotus connected to Primordial Reincarnation while Houtu, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Jieyin worked to preserve Karma Dao and Nirvana Dao.
• Li Fan, Goddess Taiyuan, Houtu, Nuwa, Primordial Lord of Heaven, Jieyin, and Goddess Wangshu helped Empress Ziguang move and protect the Zhou Tian stars in Grand Unity Heaven.
• Li Fan used the Primordial Purple Lotus and Sea-Stabilizing Chaos Pearl to establish Primordial Great Reincarnation as a path for all beings and Daos to endure the Immeasurable Kalpa.
• Pangu declared that Guixu Reincarnation and returning everything to zero were the only way to break the kalpa, while Li Fan insisted that Primordial Reincarnation could preserve heaven and earth.
• Pangu and Li Fan’s Great Daos clashed as Wangshu and the other powerful beings supported Li Fan, beginning the ultimate showdown between the two reincarnations.

Pangu confronted Luohu in Return to Ruins and overwhelmed him despite Luohu's World-Destroying Millstone. As Luohu fled, Li Fan used the Hongmeng Heaven-Covering Hand to remove Tongtian Jianmu and the Penglai Five Immortals Island from the Primordial World.

• Pangu demanded that Luohu hand over the World-Destroying Millstone, but Luohu refused and defended its power to cleanse the Primordial World.
• Pangu tore Return to Ruins away from the East Sea and brought the Primordial World down on Luohu and the millstone.
• Luohu unleashed the World-Destroying Millstone, but Pangu blocked it with the Heaven-Splitting Great Dao and sent Luohu flying.
• Pangu entered Return to Ruins, and Luohu fled with the millstone while most beings in the Primordial World entered Reincarnation.
• Li Fan cast the Hongmeng Heaven-Covering Hand and pulled Tongtian Jianmu and the Penglai Five Immortals Island out of the Primordial World.

Li Fan attained the realm of the Great Dao, followed by Wangshu and Taiyuan, while the goddesses endured the Great Dao Tribulation within the Sea-Stabilizing Chaos Pearl. As Primordial Great Reincarnation began, Li Fan promised the goddesses they would meet again in the next Reincarnation.

• Li Fan transcended Chaos and reached the realm of the Great Dao, then sent his voice to Empress Ziguang, Nüyi, Nuwa, and the other goddesses.
• Wangshu broke through to the Great Dao realm, and Taiyuan ascended to the Great Dao of Taisu by absorbing the blessings of their breakthroughs.
• The goddesses faced the Great Dao Tribulation inside the Sea-Stabilizing Chaos Pearl while Li Fan, Wangshu, and Taiyuan guarded them.
• Li Fan understood that Pangu could transcend but chose to remain in Return to Ruins and temper himself against the World-Destroying Millstone.
• The Primordial Purple Lotus carried the goddesses and other beings toward Primordial Reincarnation, and Li Fan promised they would reunite in the next Reincarnation.

Wangshu gave Li Fan eight love letters from the goddesses, each expressing gratitude for their shared trials and hope that they would meet again in Reincarnation. Li Fan answered Wangshu and Taiyuan with letters of his own, then embraced them as their Dao resonance intertwined.

• Wangshu showed Li Fan the eight letters written by Empress Ziguang, Nüyi, Baili, Changxi, Xihe, Xihua, Yaochi, and Yunxiao.
• The letters described the goddesses’ devotion to Li Fan, gratitude for his protection and guidance, and wishes to reunite with him in Reincarnation.

• Li Fan read the letters and told Wangshu and Taiyuan that he wanted theirs as well.
• Taiyuan said Li Fan should write letters to them, and Li Fan wrote heartfelt messages on Wangshu’s and Taiyuan’s palms.
• Li Fan drew Wangshu and Taiyuan into his arms as their Dao resonance intertwined.

After the Primordial Great Reincarnation ended, Li Fan and the goddesses reunited at the summit of the Great Dao and teased one another over their old love letters. Li Fan then described how the Return to Ruins Prehistoric Universe had transformed into a technological age ruled by Great Ming, and invited everyone to see it.

• Empress Ziguang, Nuwa, Houtu, Nüyi, Baili, Xihe, Changxi, Xihua, Yaochi, and Yunxiao emerged safely from Reincarnation and reunited with Li Fan, Wangshu, and Taiyuan.
• Li Fan greeted the goddesses, who thanked him for waiting through three thousand Great Dao eras and discussed their paths ahead.
• Nuwa and Houtu brought up the goddesses' old love letters, but most of them made excuses while Nüyi and Baili openly claimed theirs.

• Li Fan described Technological Great Ming, where advanced machines rivaled Grand Unity Golden Immortals and the Great Ming Dynasty governed the mortal realm.
• Li Fan invited the goddesses to visit Technological Great Ming and witness the technological Prehistoric Universe.
