Song Ankang chose the Earth Rule as his ninth Great Dao Rule and became a Ninth-Order Dao Master, greatly expanding his Myriad Tribulations World and strengthening his Dao Body, Dao Power, and Dao Soul.

• Song Ankang told Houtu that most of the Witch Race and the other major races were already under his control.
• Houtu offered to surrender the Witch Race if Song Ankang allowed her and her family to leave Xuanhuang Continent unpursued.

Song Ankang took control of nearly all of Xuanhuang Continent after Houtu chose to withdraw with her family rather than submit to him. He planned to unify the continent quietly, while recognizing that conquering the wider Profound Desolate Great World would require expanding into its many layers and Exotic Spaces.

• Song Ankang offered Houtu the chance to follow him toward a First Rank breakthrough, but Houtu refused to serve beneath him and requested permission to leave.

• Song Ankang considered whether the fused foundational Great Dao could sustain his vast true body world and recognized that such a supreme principle was known as the Heavenly Dao.

Song Ankang formed the Heavenly Dao, completed his comprehension of the Fusion Great Dao, and advanced to become a Tenth-Order Dao Master. Meanwhile, the Xuanhuang Merchant Alliance went public and brought several races together, but deep-seated hatred caused deadly unrest, so Song Ankang chose to ease tensions gradually through cultural integration.

• Racial hatred fueled slaughter, warfare, and the destruction of factions and families, so Song Ankang decided to ease tensions gradually through culture and entertainment.

Song Ankang used the Blood Fusion Technique and the Heavenly Book of Fate Defiance to accelerate the merging of his ten Great Dao iron laws. After reaching one percent fusion, he became confident that no cultivator on the Xuanhuang Continent could match him.

• Song Ankang chose the Fusion Great Dao as the foundation for merging his rules, but ten thousand years in the Yellow Millet Dao Array advanced the fusion by only one hundred-millionth.

• Song Ankang sent hundreds of thousands of destroyers from his Myriad Tribulations World across Xuanhuang Continent to target opponents of unity.
• The destroyers rampaged through the continent, killing intelligent beings and stirring widespread alarm.

Song Ankang used the million Destructions he had enslaved to stage a continent-wide catastrophe, making racial grudges appear responsible and driving the races toward unity.

• Song Ankang sent Dao Master Clones to explore other worlds and found none stronger than himself among the places he had reached.
• Song Ankang's fusion progress plunged, and he discovered that the Heavenly Dao was restricting his advancement.

Song Ankang discovered that the Profound Desolate Great World restricted cultivators from fusing more than eight rules, making his path to the First-Rank Creation level nearly impossible. He found that consuming destiny through the Destiny Secret Art could accelerate fusion enough to give him a chance of succeeding within his lifetime.

• Song Ankang investigated why fusing his ten Great Daos had become so slow and learned that other powerful Dao Masters had faced the same barrier.
• Ancient records suggested the Heavenly Dao Will restricted cultivators from reaching First Rank so they could not leave the Profound Desolate Great World with its resources.
• Song Ankang tried fusing his Great Daos in another world, but the improvement was small and the change in compatibility made progress difficult.
• Song Ankang considered confronting the Heavenly Dao Will but rejected a mutually destructive conflict that could wipe out his loved ones and the world.
• Song Ankang found the Destiny Secret Art in ancient texts and discovered that consuming destiny could speed up Great Dao fusion by as much as a hundredfold.

After his clones reinforced the Destruction Cave and earned him a vast supply of destiny power, his cultivation and the Human Race continued to advance, though he remained far from completing the fusion.

• Song Ankang decided to pursue Dao fusion gradually while plundering resources to expand and strengthen the Myriad Tribulations World, which had reached 120 quintillion square kilometers.
• Song Ankang used six Dao Master Clones to earn destiny power, assigning three to address the Xuanhuang Continent's hidden dangers and three to reinforce the Destruction Cave.
• Song Ankang's clones spent a hundred years reinforcing the Destruction Cave and earned enough destiny power to support several hundred million years of cultivation within the Yellow Millet Dao Array.
• Song Ankang cultivated within the array, increasing his rule-fusion progress by around 0.006 percent over a million years.
• The Human Race spread across nearly half the Xuanhuang Continent, while Song Ankang's Bedside Companions reached the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm and his children advanced into the Heavenly Immortal realm, except Song Fanxing.

Song Ankang spent vast stretches of time building up the Myriad Tribulations World and advancing his cultivation while the Human Race flourished. After the Heavenly Dao Will greatly accelerated his rule fusion, it revealed that the concession came with a ban on his continued plundering of the Profound Desolate Great World and its Exotic Spaces.

• Song Ankang expanded his plundering across Xuanhuang Continent, its underground layers, the heavens, and worlds within Exotic Spaces, making the Myriad Tribulations World increasingly wealthy.
• Over one million years on Xuanhuang Continent and one hundred million years in the Yellow Millet Dao Array, Song Ankang fused his ten rules to 80.06 percent and accumulated immense resources and cultivation elites.

Song Ankang negotiated with the Heavenly Dao Will of the Xuanhuang Continent, agreeing to trade Yuanxia Federation technology for resources in exchange for eased Dao-fusion restrictions. He tried to slow his progress while enriching the Myriad Tribulations World, but the Heavenly Dao Will accelerated his cultivation and threatened to make him leave the Profound Desolate Great World far sooner than he wanted.

• The Heavenly Dao Will of the Xuanhuang Continent explained that it feared Song Ankang would plunder rare resources and leave after achieving Dao fusion, so it offered to help him advance and expel him sooner.
• Song Ankang bargained with the Heavenly Dao Will for dozens of days and agreed to exchange Yuanxia Federation technology for half the resources and treasures saved, while promising to leave after reaching the First-Rank Creation realm.
• Song Ankang slowed his Dao fusion and sent resources gained through trade into the Myriad Tribulations World, which grew wealthier over the next million years.
• The Heavenly Dao Will urged Song Ankang to speed up and used the Blood Fusion Technique, knowledge, and opportunities to force his Dao-fusion progress forward.
• Song Ankang stopped actively cultivating and turned to science-fiction research so he could develop more technology and trade for resources.

Song Ankang spent a billion years in the Profound Desolate Great World gathering resources and learning about the Chaos Sea before preparing to advance. He learned that reaching First-Rank Creation would make the Myriad Tribulations World a level-ten Profound Creation World and turn him into a Heaven Hunter.

• Song Ankang learned that reaching First-Rank Creation would let him form an independent level-ten Profound Creation World from the Myriad Tribulations World.
• Song Ankang learned that owners of Profound Creation Worlds were called Heaven Hunters because they could hunt and plunder other worlds, making natural worlds wary of them.
