• 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.

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 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.

• 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.

• 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.
