After the Ferocious Beast Calamity, Bai Yu dismissed the Heavenly Dao Merit he had unexpectedly gained and returned to seclusion while the Primordial World entered a prosperous period of recovery and growth. He explained that the next calamity would begin only when the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans formally contended for supremacy, and that each Hunyuan Calamity lasted fifty thousand Yuanhui Eras by the Primordial Heavenly Dao’s design.

• Bai Yu reflected on receiving the most Heavenly Dao Merit despite staying out of the Ferocious Beast Calamity, rejected using it because it could contaminate his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and resumed his seclusion.
• Innate Beings across the Primordial World refined their gains and advanced in cultivation as the end of the Fierce Beasts’ destruction created a flourishing era.
• The Dragon, Qilin, White Tiger, and Phoenix Clans, along with the Innate Gods and Demons, continued to lie low and build their foundations while unrest spread beneath the world’s prosperity.

The chapter explains that the Dragon-Han Calamity will inevitably begin according to the Heavenly Dao’s plan, then describes how Ying Zheng used his resources as an Immortal to rapidly transform Qin State and build a formidable cultivator army. Qin’s hundred-thousand-strong army reached the Qi Refining stage, with mid-ranking officers at Foundation Establishment.

• The chapter explains that the Dragon-Han Calamity’s timing depended on the Three Clans gaining enough power, but that the Heavenly Dao’s plan made the calamity inevitable.

Ying Zheng reorganized Qin’s intelligence and combat forces, turning the Shadow Guardians into the palace-protecting force and founding the Black Ice Terrace to cultivate elite fighters for future campaigns. The Net, Shadow Guardians, and Black Ice Terrace became the three pillars of the organization he envisioned, with Ying Zheng himself leading the Black Ice Terrace.

• Ying Zheng used abundant resources to train an army of one hundred thousand Qi Refining cultivators and strengthen the Net and Shadow Guardians.
• The Shadow Guardians’ history traced from protecting Shang Yang to serving as the King of Qin’s personal guard and intelligence network, while the Net grew from its intelligence branch under Lü Buwei.
• Ying Zheng retired Lü Buwei, appointed Zhao Gao to lead the Net, and ended its assassination business so it could focus on intelligence across worlds.
• Ying Zheng repurposed the Shadow Guardians to guard the palace and monitor officials, then established the Black Ice Terrace to develop elite combat power.
• The Yin-Yang School’s upper ranks joined the Black Ice Terrace, its intelligence talents joined the Net, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi became an ordinary Black Ice Terrace member under Ying Zheng’s leadership.

• Taiyi used his divine sense to annihilate the souls of Mohist School members throughout the Central Plains.

The chapter explained how Multiverse City’s random distribution of All-Heavens Tokens and its currency system shaped trade across millions of worlds, while powerful Fortune Protagonists still mattered in Grand Cosmoses. It left the Primordial World’s fixed Sainthood Positions as a source of despair for nearly all its inhabitants.

• Multiverse City’s millions of connected worlds supplied abundant resources below the Thirteenth Tier, but Thirteenth Tier resources required scarce Sacred Spirit Stones.
• Multiverse City distributed All-Heavens Tokens randomly, so Children of Fortune from Lesser and Greater Worlds could not influence who received them.
• Multiverse City and the Multiverse Chat Group treated Children of Fortune from Grand Cosmoses cautiously because such worlds possessed Source Great Daos.
• Bai Yu regarded Hongjun and Rahula as Fortune Protagonists whose Dao-Demon Conflict determined the Primordial World’s direction.
• After Hongjun won and became a Sage, the Six Sages became the Primordial World’s Fortune Protagonists, while Calamity Tribulation protagonists held only temporary status.
• The chapter described the Primordial World as cruel and hopeless for most beings because innate foundations mattered and the number of Sainthood Positions was fixed.

The chapter explained how Multiverse City’s Mortal Domain was saturated with cheap, low-tier resources while higher-tier treasures remained scarce, and how Chat Group members profited from selling access to worlds. It ended by describing low-level Lesser Worlds as hoards of accumulated World Source that had never been developed.

• Multiverse City’s Mortal Domain was described as fiercely competitive, while Chat Group members could still open shops in the core area and compete under the city’s rules.
• The chapter explained that resources at or above the Thirteenth Tier were scarce because most worlds connected to Multiverse City were Lesser Worlds.
• Beings from low-level Lesser Worlds were said to sell thirty percent of their World Source to Multiverse Investment Corporation in exchange for sixty percent of it for themselves.
• The chapter noted that a Low-Grade Sacred Spirit Stone could buy resources and cultivation techniques that guaranteed advancement to the Ninth Tier.

Bai Yu’s administrator authority let him cooperate directly with the Multiverse Chat Group, which valued Sacred Spirit Stones as a foundation for a future currency that could aid comprehension of the Source Great Dao. The Chat Group sought to build a lasting partnership with Bai Yu, whose power could eventually make both it and Multiverse City dispensable.

• Bai Yu used his administrator authority to communicate and cooperate directly with the Chat Group, unlike Shi Yueyao, who could not contact it herself.
• The Chat Group recognized Sacred Spirit Stones as its standard currency because they contained all three thousand complete Source Laws and aided comprehension of any Source Law.
• Bai Yu treated his authority to issue currency as a profitable arrangement, while the Chat Group anticipated that he would eventually create a higher-level currency tied to the Source Great Dao.
• The Chat Group had distributed invitations across the Myriad Realms to complete and evolve its Source Great Dao, while Multiverse City pursued growth by gathering more members.
• The Chat Group sought continued cooperation and goodwill from Bai Yu because he could eventually create powers like the Chat Group and Multiverse City himself.

The Chat Group explained why it had invested in Bai Yu, believing his unprecedented comprehension of all three thousand Source Laws might lead to a higher currency containing every Source Great Dao. It discussed how cultivation foundations, Heavenly Dao restrictions, and the rarity of Grand Cosmoses shaped the pursuit of Great Daos, ending with the point that Grand Cosmoses needed Source Great Daos, not Source Laws.

• The Chat Group judged that investing in Bai Yu was worthwhile because his potential offered a chance to create a currency containing all Source Great Daos.

• The Chat Group explained that Grand Cosmoses were difficult to locate because they wielded power at the same level as the Chat Group and Multiverse City.
• The Chat Group concluded that created Grand Cosmoses could contain complete Source Laws yet still lack Source Great Daos, which formed the worlds’ true foundation.

The chapter explained how a Grand Cosmos arose from the Limitless Great Dao, World Source, and Heavenly Dao, and how those parts related to one another. It ended by noting that Thirtieth Tier Great Dao Realm experts sometimes sacrificed the Grand Cosmos they had created, with the inhabitants’ fate depending on their creator’s kindness.

• The chapter described the Great Dao as the Limitless and explained that the Grand Ultimate was the Heavenly Dao born from it.

Bai Yu reflected on why the Multiverse Chat Group cooperated with him and concluded that his system’s Dao Comprehension Assistance was likely the reason it feared acting against him. Although he suspected the system might have its own plan, he remained grateful to it and accepted that he might never learn its true purpose.

• Bai Yu realized the Chat Group wanted a currency capable of aiding comprehension of the Source Great Dao, and that it cooperated with him because it could not take what it wanted by force.
• Bai Yu considered his system’s three functions and judged Dao Comprehension Assistance to be its only truly important ability, since it could help him comprehend the Source Great Dao.
• Bai Yu reflected that the system had never demanded anything from him, but its generosity made him suspect it might have a greater scheme.
• Bai Yu accepted that he could not know the system’s origins or intentions, remained grateful for the life it had given him, and concluded it was likely why the Chat Group feared him.

The Multiverse Chat Group had nearly expelled Bai Yu after discovering that he came from a Grand Cosmos, but an inexplicable sense of terror stopped it. It kept its distance and cautiously limited new invitations, while Bai Yu remained unaware of its fear and continued testing it.

• The Chat Group learned Bai Yu came from a Grand Cosmos and tried to kick him out, fearing that the cosmos's Heavenly Dao might trace him through Cause and Effect and Destiny.
• An inexplicable, bone-chilling terror stopped the Chat Group, and its calculations with the Destiny, Karma, Space, and Time Great Daos revealed nothing.
• The Chat Group decided Bai Yu himself seemed more dangerous than a Grand Cosmos and withdrew, issuing fewer invitations and avoiding Greater Worlds.
• The Chat Group passed coordinates of Greater Worlds and Grand Cosmoses to Multiverse City, indirectly helping Bai Yu pursue World Coordinates.
• Bai Yu continued testing the Chat Group, unaware that the Chat Group panicked whenever he did.

Bai Yu discovered a newly born Grand Cosmos with only one Source Great Dao and entered it, hoping to gather World Source for the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit. He found that the cosmos had only just been created and discovered its creator, who controlled a single Source Great Dao.

• Bai Yu detected the cosmos's creator and noted that the creator controlled only one Source Great Dao.

Bai Yu met Qinghong, a Thirtieth-Tier Great Dao controller who had created the Grand Cosmos before them, and became curious about how a Grand Cosmos was formed. Qinghong was astonished by Bai Yu’s Profound Light Pearl but remained confident that Bai Yu could not kill him instantly.

• Bai Yu recognized that Qinghong, rather than the Heavenly Dao, controlled the Grand Cosmos and realized he had encountered a true world creator for the first time.
• Bai Yu considered the rarity and value of Grand Cosmoses and decided he needed to learn how one was created before making his own.
• Bai Yu used the Space Great Dao to appear before Qinghong, who greeted him as a fellow Daoist and examined the Profound Light Pearl.
• Qinghong sensed that Bai Yu’s treasure contained multiple Source Great Daos and was baffled that Bai Yu had fully refined it without attaining the Dao.
• Qinghong reflected on his smooth path to the Water Great Dao, his travels through the Endless Chaos Sea, and the nearby Grand Cosmos that had conceived him.
• Qinghong concluded that he could summon help instantly if needed and did not believe Bai Yu could kill him at once.

Bai Yu arrived in Qinghong’s newly opened Grand Cosmos to take some World Source, but meeting its creator changed his plan. Qinghong greeted Bai Yu politely, and both men mistook the other’s intentions, leaving their encounter peaceful for the moment.

• Qinghong recalled how he had endured a beating from a hostile Great Dao Realm being and escaped to his Grand Cosmos, which held thirty-six Source Great Daos.
• Bai Yu arrived through the Dimensional Gateway intending to take World Source from Qinghong’s Grand Cosmos, but discovered that it was newly opened and had little to spare.
• Bai Yu chose to meet Qinghong, the Grand Cosmos’s creator, rather than immediately suppress the cosmos with the Profound Light Pearl.
• Bai Yu was surprised when Qinghong greeted him politely, while Qinghong was relieved that he had not attacked after sensing the four complete Source Great Daos in Bai Yu’s treasure.
• Qinghong remained friendly because he feared the Profound Light Pearl’s power, unaware that Bai Yu had expected him to try to seize it.

• Qinghong shared what he knew about the Endless Chaos Sea and gave Bai Yu coordinates for several Grand Cosmoses.
• Bai Yu sensed Qinghong's Great Dao aura and obtained the coordinates of Qinghong's top-tier Grand Cosmos, which contained thirty-six complete Source Great Daos.
