Wang Wu consolidated control of the Great Cultivation World, imposed strict limits on cultivation, and strengthened the Heaven and Earth Great Array.

• The Cold God refused, explaining that Cold Marrow was the origin needed to sustain the Twenty-Four Solar Terms and the Sole Great Dao, then questioned Wang Wu about which came first and how he defined the Sole Great Dao.

A Ghost Grand Unity explained to Wang Wu that the Sole Great Dao depended on source energy and living Observers, then assigned him the duties of waiting, observing, and guarding it. As Wang Wu accepted his role, a Wandering Grand Unity arrived, and the Ghost Grand Unity urged him to prepare for the visitor.

Wang Wu confronted and studied a Wandering Grand Unity, learning that their Sole Great Daos were radically different before they established communication. When the Wandering Grand Unity offered several ways to trade for origin, Wang Wu borrowed from the five Ghost Grand Unities and faced the prospect of finding a way to repay them.

• Wang Wu endured the Wandering Grand Unity's alien aura as the Five Realms Origin Divine Light protected him, and his understanding of the Sole Great Dao deepened.
• With help from the five Ghost Grand Unities, Wang Wu spent one shichen defining the Wandering Grand Unity, after which both sides could understand and communicate with each other.

• Wang Wu consulted the five Ghost Grand Unities, who offered to lend him origin at a rate of nine borrowed for fourteen repaid and urged him to accept the transaction.
• Wang Wu agreed to borrow the origin, knowing he would need to find a way to repay the debt.

After advancing to Grand Unity, Wang Wu returned to the Heaven and Earth Great Array to build resistance, but the Wandering Grand Unity trapped him and struck at his Divine Soul.

• The five Ghost Grand Unity demanded that Wang Wu swear before the Sole Great Dao before borrowing Origin, and Wang Wu refused and called off the deal.
• The Wandering Grand Unity attacked the Sole Great Dao, so Wang Wu seized the five streams of Origin Divine Light from the Ghost Grand Unity.
• Wang Wu refined Yin Fire, Evil Wind, and Yang Thunder, advancing from Quasi Grand Unity to Grand Unity and transforming Three Calamity Evolution into Three Disasters Creation.
• Wang Wu realized the attack had been planned, returned toward the Heaven and Earth Great Array, and adjusted his sequences to develop resistance to the Wandering Grand Unity's Great Dao.
• The Wandering Grand Unity blocked Wang Wu, ensnared him with Scythe-like Limbs, and sent a Skull bearing a Strange Rune to pierce his Creation Immortal Body and attack his Divine Soul.

Wang Wu used the Ghostly Companion Grand Unity’s skull and the Heterogeneous Great Dao’s relentless suppression to forge his nine demon bloodlines into a new hybrid sequence. The sequence began counterattacking, but it remained unstable as the chapter ended.

• The Ghostly Companion Grand Unity’s skull broke through Wang Wu’s defenses and began replacing his head, forcing his Divine Soul and core to retreat into the First Sequence.
• Wang Wu unleashed the Golden Light Dao Flame and plundered Golden Divine Thunder to blind the skull’s perception, then refined his Heart of the Earth into a Supreme Creation Demon Core and unlocked his Bloodline Evolution.
• Wang Wu fused all nine demon bloodlines and absorbed his other Creation Demon Pills, creating an unstable Nine-Demon Hybrid Blood sequence.
• The skull and Ghostly Companion Grand Unity adapted to Wang Wu’s changing bloodlines while the Heterogeneous Great Dao hammered down their resistance, helping the bloodlines fuse.
• Wang Wu’s Nine-Demon Hybrid Blood sequence counterattacked the skull, but the Heterogeneous Great Dao suppressed it and forced its unstable structures to collapse or recombine.

Wang Wu forged his bloodlines into the Nine-Demon Blood Fire, destroying the Ghostly Companion Grand Unity and reclaiming his second and third sequences despite the Wandering Grand Unity’s suppression. As Wang Wu worked to build resistance and recover, three high-level Grand Unities trapped the Wandering Grand Unity in a golden net, revealing that he had been lured into a costly ambush.

• Three minutes later, three clusters of Creation Golden Light surrounded the Wandering Grand Unity, who was devouring the Heaven and Earth Great Array.
• The three lights became a golden net, and the Wandering Grand Unity realized that the high-level Grand Unities had sacrificed immense resources to trap him.

After his Divine Soul and Frost Lord’s disappeared and apparently reincarnated, the chapter ended with a glimpse of their new lives in the mortal world.

• Wang Wu joined the veteran Grand Unity in defeating the Wandering Grand Unity and merged the Blood Fire Calamity into the Sole Great Dao, becoming its thirteenth Grand Unity.
