• Styx drew Chaos Qi into the Styx Realm and scattered it as spiritual rain, improving the cultivations of its Living Beings.
• Styx considered his avatars' stalled progress and concluded that the Three Thousand Chaos Demon God Avatars offered little hope of breaking through.

Styx considered why Father God Pangu had not returned and how the Chaos Demon Gods’ Dao Fruits might explain the limits of Shi Chen and Yang Mei. He weighed the risks of fusing his Three Thousand Chaos Demon God Avatars’ bloodlines before they had reached perfection, leaving their fusion for a later time.

• Styx reasoned that Pangu might have transcended after creating the Great Wilderness, or exhausted himself and later begun refining the Chaos Demon Gods’ Dao Fruits.
• Styx concluded that Shi Chen and Yang Mei might remain in the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm because they lacked their former Dao Fruits and Chaos Demon God bodies.
• Styx recalled keeping only the Pangu bloodline when he arrived in the Great Wilderness, which had helped his cultivation and made bloodline fusion easier.
• Styx judged that fusing his Three Thousand Chaos Demon God Avatars’ bloodlines before their laws and bloodlines were perfected could damage his origin or cause the Pangu bloodline to overwhelm them.

Styx realized he could imitate Father God Pangu’s attempt to advance the Great Wilderness by using the Three Thousand Chaos Demon God Avatars to cultivate worlds for the Styx Realm. He planned to develop those worlds into Great Thousand Worlds and merge them with the realm, aiming to advance his cultivation and strengthen his bloodline.

• Styx expected the avatars to perfect their laws and become Primordial Chaos Golden Immortals, allowing him to gain stronger Heavenly Dao feedback and temper his bloodline.

• Hong Yun saw Jieyin and Zhunti driven from the void and erupted with hatred and killing intent toward them.

Styx explained to Hong Yun that Jieyin and Zhunti had plotted against him because repaying the enormous Karma of his kindness would cost them too much.

• The Saints recalled their encounters with the Heavenly Dao and recognized that it seemed to possess emotions it should not have had.

The Saints prepared to use the Human Dao, Earth Dao, and their own powers to force the battle into the Chaos Outside Heaven and protect the Great Wilderness.

• Styx explained that the Heavenly Dao had been constrained by the Great Dao and its own rules while it waited for a chance to devour the Earth Dao, Human Dao, and Father God's Dao Fruit.
