Zhou Ming held off two Abyssal Sea Divine Hub powerhouses while Houtu sent the Limitless Reincarnation Law into the Ninth Chaos, but Blood Butcher ordered his forces to continue with their plan.

• The Ninth Chaos’s World Membrane hummed, and Zhou Ming and Houtu prepared to act when Dijiang reached his limit.

The fighting ended with both sides withdrawing, while Zhou Ming and Houtu confirmed Dijiang could recover and the armies waited for events inside the Ninth Chaos to conclude.

Zhou Ming and Houtu restored the Primordial World and placed Dijiang’s True Spirit in Pangu Hall to be reborn before returning to the Eternal Dao Realm.

• The systems seized newly awakened beings in the Ninth Chaos and drove their Hosts to battle until one survivor absorbed all the Dao Rhythm Dijiang had left behind and reached the Great Dao Realm.

• The systems confirmed that Wu had not been possessed and secretly converged on him, planning to attack after he created the world and exhausted his strength.
