• Zhou Qingqing, unable to follow Amitabha Buddha’s rapidly reviewed memories, decided to feed the Dream World’s power to the Dream-Eating Tapir.

• Buddha Mother Zhunti watched Ying Zheng and doubted that he could resist Shakyamuni Tathagata without help from the master of the Human Dao.

• Ying Zheng, Ancestor Dragon, and the Great Wall each formed a circle, creating a Dragon Return rather than a wheel of Reincarnation.

Ying Zheng used the state of return-to-one he shared with Ancestor Dragon to absorb Dragon Return and bring the Great Wall and Epang Palace’s power to bear against Shakyamuni Tathagata. His Comprehensive Coverage began overriding the wheels under Shakyamuni Tathagata’s control, leaving the Dragon Clan impressed and Buddha Mother Zhunti uneasy.

• Buddha Mother Zhunti decided to imitate Master Tongtian's End Great Dao and made the Great Karma Technique appear on Shakyamuni Tathagata.
• Qingqing recognized the Great Karma Technique's fluctuations and considered asking Nuwa and the Three Sovereigns whether they should intervene.

• Qingqing's view of Fate suggested that the Great Karma Technique would give Shakyamuni Tathagata a way to end the battle by sharing power resembling Master Tongtian's End Great Dao.

Buddha Mother Zhunti endured the cost of using karma to learn Upper Pure Master Tongtian’s End Great Dao, then passed its insights to Shakyamuni Tathagata. The final great wheel gained the End Great Dao’s aura, and Zhou Qingqing warned that the end was beginning to descend.

Shakyamuni Tathagata’s final wheel made Ying Zheng and Ancestor Dragon relive the despair of a failed Calamity, but Zhou Qingqing and the Three Pure Ones believed they could overcome it. As the battle continued, Ying Zheng’s Heart and Ancestor Dragon’s Heart fused into what Zhou Qingqing called the Ancestor-Emperor Heart.

• Houtu expected a new change to save Zu Zheng, while Zhou Qingqing urged him to uncover his hidden power; the Heavenly Venerates realized she was referring to the character “First” before his emperor title.

As Zu Zheng endured Shakyamuni Tathagata’s end divine ability, the Three Pure Ones and Zhou Qingqing recognized that he needed to find the origin of his identity as the First Emperor. He rose during the final breath, leaving the watching factions surprised and unsure how he had turned the fight around.

Qin Shi Huang received Qingqing’s cryptic request to “V her 50,” and the Human Dao Saints at Nuwa Palace interpreted it as a call to pursue the escaping one and create a human-led variable in the Great Dao. The chapter left Qin Shi Huang inspired by the possibility of humanity forging a bright path ahead.
