Zhao Fu was overwhelmed by the allied inheritors’ attacks as they summoned more than a thousand King Stars to challenge his three Emperor Stars. Just as the Western army seemed close to victory, Zhao Fu raised his head with cracked pupils, and a tremendous force struck the four guardian beasts.
Zhao Fu’s Emperor Stars shattered the King Stars and broke the Western allied army’s defenses, allowing Great Qin to win the final battle and occupy both continents. After Zhao Fu woke, he learned that two gates made from guardian-beast eggs could travel to other worlds by bypassing the Heavenly Domain Barrier.
After unifying the human world, Zhao Fu learned that some enemies had escaped through an untraceable Otherworld Random Teleportation Gate, while Great Qin captured many others. He ordered Arthur Tina saved and the most hostile prisoners executed, as Li Baiqing remained a potential threat with Great Tang’s Nation-Guarding Artifact and royal city.
Zhao Fu visited the imprisoned Li Family to settle his long-held resentment, tormenting Li Zhe and Li Shan while forcing Zhang Shuyun and Liu Yuexian to leave with him. He spared the prisoners’ lives and ordered their care, insisting that he would not harm the women or make them consorts.
After unifying the human world, Zhao Fu set Great Qin’s next goals: expand its intelligence network and prepare to seize neighboring worlds. The chapter ended with rewards and celebrations marking the start of a peaceful new era in the human world, while Zhao Fu remained concerned about Tuoba Qing and the dangers beyond.
After Great Qin celebrated its victory and assessed its enormous gains, Zhao Fu began preparing to refine sixteen Nation-Guarding Artifacts and one Fate Clan Artifact. He gathered the women and blood relatives required for the rituals, then prepared to begin refining the artifacts as Oleg’s older sister defied him over the fate of her people.
Zhao Fu refined the Book of God, the last Fate Clan Artifact, with Great Qin’s fate aura and imperial blood, transforming it into a darkened artifact. The Book of God became a powerful Great Qin artifact that benefited its citizens, though Zhao Fu could not use it to empower a dark-type god.
After recovering from her injuries, Arthur Tina agreed to submit to Great Qin after Zhao Fu promised to treat Britain’s people as his own subjects. Zhao Fu then asked her to become his consort, and the chapter ended with him reassuring her that he would care for her family.
Conferring a consort caused the Imperial Phoenix Statue to absorb the human world's destiny and phoenix aura, transforming it into a Fate Clan Artifact and strengthening Great Qin's consorts and citizens. The power then surged into Zhao Fu's Phoenix Crystal, which gathered Great Qin's destiny and formed a Dragon-Phoenix.
Zhao Fu gained a rare Platinum Dragon-Phoenix and a new Fate Clan Artifact, but as the surrounding phenomena settled, a surge of demonic qi erupted from his body. The chapter ended with Zhao Fu losing control again.
Zhao Fu broke through to the fourth level of the Six Desires Immortal Scripture, condensing six Six Desires Demon Crystals and summoning six Demon Gods above Great Qin City. Their power left the city’s citizens frozen like puppets, while six imposing statues stood worshipped in a sect in the Heaven Domain.
The Six Desires Immortal Sect reacted violently to someone manifesting the Six Desires Demon Gods, and its six mighty experts concluded that the unknown person threatened the sect. They ordered their disciples to uncover the person’s identity and whereabouts, and to spread the news so others would help kill him.
The Six Desires Immortal Sect announced that a new Immortal Bane had appeared, prompting factions across the Heaven Domain to search for the rebel. Meanwhile, Zhao Fu absorbed the Six Desires Demon Gods and broke through to the fourth layer, then ordered Li Si to gather intelligence on the Demon Profound World and the Fish Scale World.
Zhao Fu learned that the four guardian beasts would depart and the Heavenly Domain Barrier would disappear in three months, leaving the human world exposed to the Apocalypse World. He set aside plans to conquer the Darkwater Continent and focused Great Qin on preparing for the dangers ahead.
Zhao Fu prepared Great Qin for the human world's Heavenly Domain Barrier to disappear, shifting from expansion to defense while rushing to clear territories and build the Great Wall. He then met Gongsun Lin, an old acquaintance captured while refining artifacts, who seemed to recognize him.
Zhao Fu reunited with Gongsun Lin and persuaded her to stay in Great Qin, where she could continue forging weapons with imperial materials. After Zhao Fu ordered intelligence gathered on Great Qin’s rivals, an upheaval swept across the Apocalypse World, Divine World, and Underworld.
A crystal pearl appeared among the eight core crystals in the Heaven Domain and unleashed a force that swept across the Apocalypse World, Divine World, and Underworld. As the pearl drew in the worlds’ origin power and stripped away the power of their inhabitants, mighty beings resisted and rushed toward the central void to discover what had happened.
A mysterious figure used the eight crystals to absorb power from the three realms, then vanished as the upheaval subsided. Zhao Fu discovered that Great Qin’s seals had lost their powers just as notices announced a new era and a reestablishment of Apocalypse World’s laws.
After heaven and earth changed, Zhao Fu investigated how the new laws affected Great Qin and learned that seals had become treasure artifacts but could no longer channel a city or nation's power. He also discovered that regional creatures had been weakened and that the human world's Heaven Domain Spirit Crystal could not yet be used while the world remained inside the Heavenly Domain Barrier.
Zhao Fu reviewed the changes to the world’s laws and found that Great Qin had lost much of its advantage because city and official seals could no longer mobilize a city’s power. With the Heavenly Domain Barrier due to disappear in two months, he convened an emergency meeting, where his ministers debated how Great Qin could survive a likely invasion.
Zhao Fu decided to build a Monster Realm to strengthen Great Qin ahead of the invasion, using the Demon Soul Art to erase the memories of those transformed into monsters. The monsters created a core for the realm, and Zhao Fu refined their loyalty by rewarding them and placing restrictions in their bodies.
Zhao Fu created the Monster Realm, whose blood sun and blood moon marked him with the recognition of the Sun Demon and Moon Demon. Testing the realm revealed that its blood qi could turn creatures into stronger, vicious monsters, and a black bull became the first black bull demon.
Zhao Fu discovered how quickly the Monster Realm could turn humans and beasts into powerful demons, and decided to use it to build Great Qin’s forces. He appointed the demons he had found as Demon Lords and began planning to send more than one hundred million people and beasts into the realm.
Zhao Fu decided to convert six captured King Seals into Nine Nether King Seals so they could command Yin Soldiers. After the conversion succeeded, Great Qin’s Yin Soldier limit rose from thirty million to ninety million, and Zhao Fu considered obtaining more King Seals to raise it further.
Zhao Fu considered how Great Qin could strengthen its forces before the Heavenly Domain Barrier disappeared and decided to replace some City Lord Seals with Official Seals so their power could be transferred to ferocious beasts. He ordered preparations for the change and turned to counting and cultivating Great Qin’s strongest candidates, including Illusion Flower Demons.
