As war spread across Earth and the heavens, Lu PingAn reflected on the planet’s peril, the Nirvana Plan, and his desire to transcend the forces controlling fate. Sensing that Earth might be destroyed, he rejected passivity and stepped into the shadows to join the fight personally.

Lu PingAn and humanity’s plan drew the God Above Gods into the real world, where it became trapped in the otherworldized Australia and began threatening the planet. As gods sacrificed themselves to stabilize the world, the colossal creature descended toward Australia and roared its hunger.

• Lu PingAn escaped Australia by boat as the God Above Gods reached into the world for food and sank further into it.
• A Dimensional Tremor blacked out much of the world, and Lu PingAn sensed the creature complaining that it was trapped, hurt, and hungry.
• Back on Dragon Moon Island, Lu PingAn learned that humanity’s altar-and-food plan had trapped the God Above Gods 3.4 times more effectively than projected.
• The world began consuming gods to stabilize itself and share the burden of the creature’s attacks, and some gods died.
• The atmosphere vanished above Australia as gray-black tentacles descended and the God Above Gods fell toward the region, roaring that it was hungry.

Lu PingAn and the others survived after the Brain-Chewing Claw was dragged into the real universe, but its arrival destabilized Earth and transformed Australia Island into a dangerous alien domain. As parts of the monster began falling into the world, gods and colossal beings gathered around Australia Island to confront them.

• The Brain-Chewing Claw's fall nearly tore the world apart, forcing it to sacrifice deities as stabilizers while Australia became a quasi-high-dimensional alien domain.
• Lu PingAn used the Eye of Truth to inspect the chaotic region, and Shuichi praised his final attack and confirmed that he had seen the God Above Gods' killing blow.

Lu PingAn watched the God Above Gods be eroded by Earth as countless New Gods emerged from its flesh and blood, turning the battle into a struggle between the foreign deity and the world. While gods and Giant Gods fought at sea, Lu PingAn sent the Burning Legion to hunt escaped fragments and waited as the conflict escalated.

• Lu PingAn compared the unfolding battle to creation myths as the God Above Gods fell into Earth's grasp and the world imposed its rules on it.
• New Gods emerged from the God Above Gods, and one gained the God of Thunder's divine office and name by devouring a local deity before attacking its own kin.
• The gods and Giant Gods intercepted the newcomers at sea, but fragments escaped and others hatched from the fallen or wounded Giant Gods.
• Lu PingAn ignited his Black Fire and sent the Burning Legion and its officers to hunt the fragments before they could become future disasters.
• Lu PingAn concluded that Earth was absorbing the power of every deity that died on its soil, while the God Above Gods struggled to escape and the world tried to hold it.

Lu PingAn watched the world devour the God Above Gods and use the deaths of deities to ascend in dimension. Chris explained that the changes could benefit the world’s races, while Lu PingAn focused on whether he could claim some of the fallen gods’ power.

• Lu PingAn observed the God Above Gods trapped as the world’s barrier collapsed, letting gods and demons reach the surface.

• Lu PingAn asked what the upheaval offered him, and Chris said he could gain greatly by claiming the fallen deities’ Main Bodies if he dared.

Fourteen days after the trap took effect, the God Above Gods’ ongoing dissolution flooded the world with disasters, transformed its inhabitants, and devastated human populations. As New Gods became sources of new bloodlines and paths to godhood, Lu PingAn feared what future generations would call this era; they ultimately named it both “the Great Extinction” and “the Great Evolution.”

• Lu PingAn reflected that the Great Summoning and Nirvana Plan had prepared the world for catastrophes, and accepted that his generation had to face the present rather than judge the past.
• On the fourteenth day of the continuing crisis, Lu PingAn learned that the God Above Gods’ power had unsettled the seas and brought Fishmen, Naga, and sea beasts into the world in vast numbers.

Lu PingAn and the Pacific fleet continued fighting the New Gods and monsters while God Above Gods remained trapped and appeared to be weakening. On the twenty-first day, it voluntarily split apart and released three Apocalypse-level end creatures.

• Lu PingAn considered the threats and logistics still facing the fleet, then saw God Above Gods voluntarily split apart.
• Lu PingAn realized that three Apocalypse-level end creatures were coming.

The God Above Gods unleashed three Sons of Evil God, forcing the frontline to confront creatures capable of destroying the world. After one Son fell, it split into three smaller dragons, leaving Lu PingAn and the others facing a more dangerous threat.

• The God Above Gods sent three colossal Sons of Evil God into battle, and they destroyed several God's Arks as they attacked the frontline.
• Lu PingAn recognized the creatures and stopped high-level combatants from rushing toward them under the world's compulsion to kill.
• Dragon Moon Island retreated as powerful gods descended and the Sons of Evil God moved toward their apparent world-destroying objectives.
• The multi-headed dragon fell, but three smaller dragons emerged from its corpse and began growing.

Humanity struggled to contain the Blood Winged Golden Crow, Steel Forged Xing Tian, and the multiplying World-Extinguishing Snakes, whose offspring grew stronger by devouring New Gods. Dragon Moon Island organized an underwater hunt against the Serpent Calamity, and after mounting losses, a possible turning point appeared.

• The gods and powerhouses pursued the Blood Winged Golden Crow while others fought the nearly invulnerable Steel Forged Xing Tian.

• After continued setbacks and heavy losses, a turning point finally seemed to arrive.

Lu PingAn witnessed Earth welcome a wave of returning New Gods whose divine powers expanded humanity’s options against the God of Extinction. After receiving Wanjing’s message about the new Divine Graces, he called a meeting to organize the next hunt for the dragon and snake.

• Lu PingAn heard the Sea God of Mercury 42 proclaim herself the God of Storms and Guardianship, and discovered her Divine Grace of Underwater Breathing worked on Earth.

• Lu PingAn received a message from Wanjing detailing ways to obtain Divine Graces and ordered a meeting of all high-level combatants.
• Lu PingAn and the human forces prepared missions, armaments, and tactics to hunt the dragon and snake with the New Gods’ powers as support.

As the world ascended in dimension, Lu PingAn hunted Dragon-Serpents while gathering materials to hatch a Magical Pet that could help end the scourge. He continued toward successive battlefields, hoping Dragon-Serpent's Foe would hatch soon.

• Lu PingAn and Chris observed how the changing ocean supported Hatching Life and colossal beasts, then set out to continue their work.
• Lu PingAn used an underwater reconnaissance drone to reach a battlefield while recovering from his injuries and discussing the newborns incubating in the Courtyard.
• Lu PingAn found six fourth-generation Rule-level Dragon-Serpents in the deep sea and spent more than ten minutes burning them away, worsening his right knee injury.
• A new drone redirected Lu PingAn to another battlefield, and he added the collected Dragon-Serpent materials to the Big Pot while hoping Dragon-Serpent's Foe would hatch.

Lu PingAn and the other demi-gods struggled to find a way to stop the endlessly reproducing Calamity Dragons, whose invasion threatened to wipe out life on the planet. At the seventh Snake Hunt seminar, Lu PingAn proposed using the Mother Goddess and a fully formed World's Logic to create another Balance Calamity Beast.

• The Golden Crow melted the Arctic glaciers and raised the planet's temperature, while the God Above Gods' other monsters threatened the world in different ways.

• Lu PingAn hunted the Dragon Serpents and questioned how their division of life could leave every offspring at Rule-level strength.
• Xiu Yi hosted the seventh Snake Hunt seminar, where the exhausted demi-gods had no promising new solutions after repeated project failures.
• Lu PingAn proposed that they could reverse the Calamity Dragons' effects without understanding their source, using the Mother Goddess and his World's Logic to create another Balance Calamity Beast.

Lu PingAn proposed using his Life Cauldron to create a Mother Goddess that could counter the invading Dragon Serpent’s logic, and the life gods agreed to help investigate the plan. The powerful newcomers gathered in his Courtyard, where Kerdales greeted them, and they prepared to begin work.

• Lu PingAn explained that his Life Cauldron could extract rules from materials and fuse them into life, and proposed creating a new Mother Goddess from Dragon Serpent flesh to combat the invasion.
• Lu PingAn realized the project required his Life Cauldron to advance beyond Tier 9 and needed more materials, better simulations, and technical support.
• Life gods and demigods responded to Lu PingAn’s proposal, though they warned that the plan might need him to unite the twins into one.
• The big shots moved into Lu PingAn’s Demi-Plane Courtyard, where they recognized Kerdales and discussed her reputation and past.
• Lu PingAn urged everyone to begin because they had few opportunities left.
