Zhao Fu used Brain Worms to expand Great Qin’s control across Darkwater Continent, while rival factions began investigating his growing power. At the Land of Inheritance, he learned that a terrifying great expert had repeatedly searched nearby worlds and feared the expert had come for him.
Zhao Fu worried about a powerful enemy and considered seeking protection from a top-tier faction, while assessing the Demon Horn Empire’s recovery and returning to the real world. There, Wu Qingniang urged him to flee with her, but a notification announced that the real world would be destroyed in 30 days.
With one month left before the real world’s destruction, society collapsed into riots and shortages. Zhao Fu decided to confess his secret to Wu Qingniang, who waited for him in Apocalypse World with her female guards.
Wu Qingniang planned to capture Zhao Fu and take him away from the Great Qin Imperial Prince, but the prince arrived before she could act and revealed himself as Zhao Fu. Wu Qingniang learned the truth and reconciled with him, then discovered that Wu Zetian had accompanied him.
Zhao Fu arranged for Wu Zhou to merge into Great Qin, then returned to the collapsing real world to secure shelter for relatives and friends. He rejected his uncle and aunt’s demand for a city lord position for his cousin and had their family expelled from the Ying Family’s protection.
Zhao Fu returned to Apocalypse World while Great Qin continued building the Great Wall under pressure from hostile forces. In the Spirit Light World, the Progenitor Divine Statue descended and triggered a battle among its inheritors, while the neighboring Demon Profound World prepared to intervene.
Carmen nearly took the Progenitor God Statue for the Spirit Light God Clan, but Demon Seven snatched it and fled. Surrounded by Carmen and the pursuing inheritors, Demon Seven unleashed a burst of demonic qi and escaped in several directions.
Carmen and Demon Seven pursued Shi Xiao after she stole the Progenitor Divine Statue, but their struggle over the treasure was interrupted by a powerful stranger who appeared from the void. The newcomer seized the statue, leaving all three Dao Guardians wary of the threat.
Zhao Fu seized the Progenitor Divine Statue and fought off Shi Xiao, Demon Seven, and Carmen as they tried to stop him. After revealing his identity as the Great Qin Imperial Prince, he exposed a fifth Guardian of the Way, who challenged him to face four Guardians at once.
Zhao Fu fought off the four Guardians of the Way with the Eye of All Ghosts’ powers while trying to seize the Progenitor Divine Statue. The Spirit Light World’s consciousness and other worlds empowered their inheritors and ordered them to kill the Great Qin Imperial Prince, leaving Zhao Fu surrounded by forces determined to destroy him.
Zhao Fu fought nine Guardians in Spirit Light World without access to world power, while Si Ji and other inheritors disrupted the human world consciousness to prevent it from aiding him. Badly wounded and growing weaker, Zhao Fu was struck by an Azure Tiger attack as his enemies closed in for the kill.
Zhao Fu appeared to die after Carmen pierced his chest, and the survivors immediately fought over the Progenitor Divine Statue. As the white-haired youth reached for Zhao Fu’s corpse, he sensed an overwhelming danger, leaving the outcome unresolved.
Zhao Fu revived with three terrifying natal stars descending over Spirit Light World and attacked those who had tried to kill him. As the remaining inheritors fled, Demon Seven stood trapped beneath Zhao Fu’s gaze.
Zhao Fu fought Demon Seven and prepared to kill the fallen Carmen and the others, but the Spirit Light World's four guardian beasts arrived to stop him. With his consciousness lost and his power out of control, he battled them and wounded the monstrous bird before slicing through the golden lion's attack.
Zhao Fu fought the four guardian beasts of Spirit Light World, but they joined their power with the world itself to trap and crush him in a Heaven-Earth Grand Formation. As Zhao Fu’s pupils split open, a world-destroying force erupted from him and began annihilating Spirit Light World.
The Spirit Light World’s consciousness fought Zhao Fu after his uncontrolled power devastated more than a thousand regions, and the Golden Dragon helped bring him back to Great Qin. As Zhao Fu recovered, he learned that he had entered the Dao Eye state and resolved to punish those responsible for blocking his use of the world’s power.
Zhao Fu learned that the Progenitor Divine Statue could strengthen the Spirit Light God Clan or devastate it if its attributes were reversed, and considered refining it for Great Qin. Golden Dragon explained that replacing its Progenitor Bloodline would take centuries unless Great Qin expanded and gathered more bloodlines.
Zhao Fu placed a Blood Law Seal on the Progenitor Divine Statue so it could be refined in a vast blood pool while the Heaven and Earth Refining Array remained available for other work. As Great Qin continued its preparations with fifteen days left before the real world was swallowed, Zhao Fu agreed to Japan’s offer to submit and secretly open a passage for Great Qin to seize the continent’s east.
Zhao Fu planned to conquer the six eastern countries and then attack eastern Huaxia, while their factions relied on layered defenses and expected Great Qin to be unable to break through. The chapter ended with defenders atop the Great Wall reassuring one another that their coalition could stop Great Qin.
Zhao Fu secretly used Japan’s cooperation to bypass the defenses and launch a simultaneous invasion of six nations, opening a route into eastern Huaxia. Great Qin overwhelmed the defenders, and Nepal, Han Kingdom, Joseon Kingdom, the Philippines, and Malaysia fell as the attack continued.
Zhao Fu enlisted the six conquered nations to attack Huaxia, then secured Japan's surrender from Hanano Mai and the Three Great Yokai. Great Qin conquered most of eastern Huaxia before halting at the Pomelo Region and taking a defensive stance.
After conquering much of Huaxia, Great Qin counted its gains and focused on absorbing its new population and territories while the Central Continent’s factions grew wary of one another. Zhao Fu rewarded his followers, took possession of the Demon Blade Muramasa, and planned to merge Japan’s Three Sacred Treasures with the Progenitor Divine Statue.
Zhao Fu refined three Nation-Guarding Artifacts into Great Qin’s arsenal as the Spirit Light God Clan’s world entered Apocalypse World and Great Qin faced growing opposition. On June 14th, Arthur Tina founded the British Empire on the Western Continent, making it the second nation in the human world and setting her benevolent rule apart from Great Qin’s path of hegemony.
As the real world faced destruction, Zhao Fu and the Ying Family prepared to enter Great Qin, while people reflected on his rise into a legendary figure. The Ying Family recognized Zhao Fu’s importance as the representative who had brought them close to the Great Qin Imperial Prince, and eagerly sought his favor.
As the real world neared destruction, Zhao Fu reassured Ying Xi about Wu Qingniang and the Ying Family’s place in Great Qin without revealing that he was the Great Qin Imperial Prince. Ying Xi left relieved, while Zhao Fu checked the last messages on a nearly collapsed network.
