Lu Sheng dismissed the Black Snake Sect’s accusation and reached the physical limit of the Skylark Plumage Sword, then used Deep Blue to begin deriving it further. Meanwhile, two Heavenly Demons discussed searching for their target, and Yi Chuan learned of a rumor that Zhao Wuji had returned.

• Lu Sheng demanded the two gray-robed men leave their Original Nuclei behind, and they surrendered one before leaving under his watchful gaze.

Lu Sheng uncovered a ruined world's account of an undead catastrophe and a warning to beware the Anomaly, then returned to prepare for the escalating conflict between the Star Spirits and Ancient Beasts. He left the chapter in seclusion on Instant Shadow Star, strengthening his defenses before digesting his accumulated God-Entrusting Power.

• Lu Sheng found three emerald-green cylinders in hidden rooms and used them to open a formation that concealed a book.
• Lu Sheng deciphered the book's E Language entries, which described undead monsters overrunning the world and named Kang Ta Sha as the writer's beloved daughter.
• The two girls Lu Sheng had captured burned away, and the book turned blank except for the warning, "Beware the Anomaly."
• A month later, as the conflict between the Star Spirits and Ancient Beasts intensified, Lu Sheng ordered an evacuation and prepared to cultivate with over eight million God-Entrusting Power.
• Lu Sheng reviewed his abilities, improved his energy defenses, and exchanged his benefits for a Martial Virtue Robe that could weaken attacks below the Void Nether realm.

Lu Sheng studied the Martial Virtue Robe and decided to develop his divine powers and spells by using Thousand Gods as their vessel. After an unstable first attempt, he created a monstrous form that could unleash the Light of Primordial Origin, a beam that dismantled everything in its path, and gained a new understanding as he watched it tear into the starry sky.

As the migration began, he examined a mysterious booklet and decided to make one final descent before changing universes.

• Lu Sheng contacted Li Shunxi, learned that more than three months had passed, and agreed to migrate with the Green Ravine Sect to the Small World chosen by Sect Master Yuan.
• After preparations and testing, the Green Ravine Sect began teleporting civilians to the new world, while Lu Sheng and Li Shunxi monitored the migration.
• Lu Sheng told Li Shunxi that the destination was a low-temperature world with mostly familiar laws, and asked him to summon Ban Sai before leaving to make one final descent.
• Lu Sheng studied the booklet from the red mist and found an illustration labeled with the name En Siri, which he suspected depicted a powerful Anomaly from the previous universe.
• Lu Sheng worried that a Void Nether-level Anomaly could bring the end of the world, then put away the booklet and headed to the experimental area to prepare for his descent.
