• Lu Xuanji perceives the true state of the world: the Purple Mansion World is an "egg" being corroded by a black sphere wreathed in Demonic Qi—the Undying Devil Lord's world. He estimates the Purple Mansion World will be devoured within 10,000 years.
• The Heavenly Dao destroys the world: In a final attempt to muster resources against the Undying Devil Lord, the Heavenly Dao triggers global catastrophe—earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning, blood rain, volcanic eruptions—lasting three months.
• Mass extinction: Over 98% of plants/animals and most mortals die; cultivators below Golden Core are annihilated, their energy returned to the World Origin.
• Spirit qi withers: The world enters the End of Dharma Era, then a Spiritless Era. All cultivators below Void Refining lose their cultivation and die of old age on the spot.
• Heavenly Dao empowers survivors: Void Refining, Dao Integration, and Tribulation Transcendence cultivators receive a 30%+ combat augmentation, authority over laws, and accelerated cultivation speed (10x normal).

• The cost of transcendence: Only by rising above the system (Tribulation Transcendence) can one see the truth of the system.
