Lu Xi encountered the Five Gods battling in Oblivion's Realm and learned that a mysterious infection had driven the Living Tribunal, Infinity, and Death into violence and confusion. Eternity explained how the infection spread and how Death was sent away after turning against the others, while Lu Xi remained trapped near the ongoing battle with the Miniature Universe in his hand.

• Lu Xi saw the Living Tribunal, Eternity, Oblivion, and Infinity fighting, with Infinity repeatedly changing sides as his mind shifted between clarity and confusion.
• Lu Xi realized that Death had likely suffered the same unstable condition and had been attacked by both sides before being injured in the Quantum Realm.
• Lu Xi tried to leave Oblivion's Realm but decided that opening a passage would draw the combatants' attention, so he sought a safe place while protecting the Miniature Universe.
• Eternity noticed Lu Xi and contacted him, and Lu Xi identified himself as Lucifer, the new God of Destiny.
• Eternity told Lu Xi that the Living Tribunal had attacked Galactus, whose infection then spread to Infinity and Death, and that Death had helped wound the Living Tribunal before losing control and being sealed and sent away.

Lu Xi learned how the Living Tribunal's infection spread and explained that he could advance to the Omniversal level if allowed to leave, but Eternity and Oblivion doubted he would return. The Living Tribunal's attack forced Lu Xi into the battle, where he separated Infinity from the others and offered to hold him back.

• Eternity told Lu Xi that the infection weakened each time it passed through someone, leaving Infinity unable to infect beings of the Eighth Order or higher.

Lu Xi used the Devouring Law he had taken from Galactus to suppress Infinity while Eternity and Oblivion warned that Death might also die permanently from the infection. They agreed that Lu Xi would try to save Death after leaving, and the chapter ended as Infinity regained his sanity and joined the assault on the Living Tribunal.

• Lu Xi alternated the Destiny and Devouring Laws to overpower Infinity, and Eternity realized that Lu Xi had taken Galactus's authority after completely killing him.

• Eternity asked Lu Xi how he obtained the Devouring Law, and Lu Xi sent him a memory of killing Galactus.
• Eternity and Oblivion agreed to Lu Xi's method on the condition that he first try to save Death or, if that failed, kill her and inherit the Death Law before returning to help them.
• Lu Xi kept Infinity suppressed while waiting for an opening, and Infinity suddenly regained his sanity and joined Eternity, Oblivion, and Lu Xi against the Living Tribunal.
• The Living Tribunal unleashed a barrage of judgment and began retreating as the battle reached its most intense stage.

Lu Xi, Eternity, Oblivion, and Infinity attacked the Living Tribunal together but could not defeat him, and Loki destroyed their escape route from Oblivion's Realm. Loki planned to keep both sides trapped and weaken them until he could seize their law authorities.

• The Living Tribunal resumed his attack, and the battle returned to a stalemate as he watched Oblivion to prevent another escape attempt.
• Loki revealed that he had bound the End-of-Time Dimension to observe and interfere in the battle, hoping to trap both sides until he could claim their law authorities.

• Infinity charged the Living Tribunal as Lu Xi, Eternity, and Oblivion unleashed their powers to cover his attack.

Infinity chose to self-destruct in Oblivion's Realm, targeting Loki to weaken the Living Tribunal's side. The explosion tore through the realm, leaving Loki's fate uncertain and severely injuring both Lu Xi and the Living Tribunal.

• Loki opened a vast dimensional passage and joined the Living Tribunal in trying to stop Infinity from self-destructing.
• The Living Tribunal withdrew his Judgment Power and sent Judgment Swords toward Infinity, but Infinity changed course and charged at Loki instead.
• Loki frantically tried to close the passage while Infinity approached and the Judgment Swords pursued him.
• Infinity unleashed his power, declaring, "Art is explosion!"
• The blast collapsed Loki's passage and struck Loki directly, while its shockwave sent Lu Xi flying and left the Living Tribunal badly injured.

After Infinity’s sacrifice devastated the Marvel Greater World, Lu Xi confirmed that Loki had died and rushed to claim the Destiny Scepter. The Living Tribunal reappeared and judged that Destiny Access belonged to him, leaving Lu Xi holding the scepter as its power resisted merging with him.

• Infinity’s sacrifice collapsed much of Oblivion’s Realm and destroyed countless Universes, while Eternity sealed a breach in the Marvel Greater World with the Order Law.

• Lu Xi grabbed the Destiny Scepter, but the Living Tribunal’s judgment pulled at its authority and prevented it from merging with Lu Xi.

Lu Xi and the Living Tribunal fought over the Destiny Scepter, each absorbing a share of its power. Lu Xi’s strength surged and he injured the Living Tribunal, leaving Eternity and Oblivion with the advantage.

• Lu Xi used the Devouring Law to absorb Destiny Law from the scepter while the Living Tribunal struggled to seize it.

• Lu Xi broke through the Living Tribunal’s judgment shield and bent his arm, shifting the battle’s advantage toward Lu Xi, Eternity, and Oblivion.

Lu Xi and his allies struggled to locate the injured Living Tribunal, who escaped through his movement authority. The Living Tribunal found Death in the Quantum Realm and extracted most of her authority before Lu Xi arrived, leaving Death apparently lifeless and the conflict unresolved.

• The Living Tribunal vanished after Lu Xi struck at him, and Eternity and Oblivion explained that his movement authority let him appear anywhere in the Marvel Greater World.
• Lu Xi used his Destiny Authority to search for the Living Tribunal, who kept relocating whenever Lu Xi nearly found him.
• The Living Tribunal discovered Death recovering in the Quantum Realm, broke through Lu Xi's warning formation, and stabbed her with his Judgment Sword.
• Lu Xi's location attempt succeeded, and he teleported to the Quantum Realm after the warning formation showed the Living Tribunal attacking Death.
• Lu Xi knocked the Living Tribunal away, but the Living Tribunal had already extracted eighty percent of Death's authority and laughed as Eternity and Oblivion mourned Death.

After Death vanished, Lu Xi inherited her portion of the Death Authority but still could not reach the Omniversal-level. Eternity and Oblivion offered him their authorities so he could gain every high-level law, asking him to kill the Living Tribunal and try to restore the world; they began transferring their powers to him.

• The Living Tribunal fled when Oblivion charged at him with another self-destruction, forcing Oblivion to stop the blast.
• Death dissipated from her fatal injuries, and Lu Xi seized and merged with the Death Authority she left behind.
• Eternity explained that mastering every high-level law could allow Lu Xi to reach the Omniversal-level, and he and Oblivion offered to hand over their authorities.
• Eternity and Oblivion asked Lu Xi to kill the Living Tribunal and, if possible, restart the world and revive them; Lu Xi agreed.
• Eternity explained that Infinity's share of the Order Authority had transferred to him, then he and Oblivion placed their hands on Lu Xi's shoulders and began the transfer.

Lu Xi absorbed the Authorities transferred by the cosmic beings and ascended to the Omniversal-level, becoming the Marvel Greater World's [World Master]. He killed the Living Tribunal and realized that the mysteries of OAA's lost control and the Tribunal's mutation had answers beyond the Marvel Greater World.

• Lu Xi merged the Authorities of the God of Stories, Galactus, Death, Eternity, Infinity, and Oblivion, ascending from the Multiversal-level to the Omniversal-level.
• Lu Xi learned that he had taken OAA's [World Master] position, granting him omniscience and omnipotence within the Marvel Greater World.
• Eternity and Oblivion dissipated after completing the transfer of their Authorities.
• Lu Xi transported the Living Tribunal to him and examined the Tribunal's secrets, but could not discover why OAA had lost control or what had caused the Tribunal's mutation.
• Lu Xi concluded that both answers lay beyond the Marvel Greater World and turned the Living Tribunal to ashes.

After defeating the Living Tribunal, Lu Xi reclaimed the remaining Authorities, became the ruler of the Marvel Greater World, and restored the Universes and resurrected the fallen gods. He returned to the Morningstar Universe to relax, while remaining wary of the DC Universe.

• After the Living Tribunal died, the gold and gray orbs merged into Lu Xi, completing his Destiny and Death Authority and making him the new ruler of the Marvel Greater World.

The elderly Lucifer had taken control of most of the DC Universe’s authority and explained his plan to seize power in Marvel through his counterpart, Lu Xi. With Lu Xi refusing to come, Lucifer wondered whether the final step had failed or his plan had a flaw.

• OBA hurried into Heaven and asked the elderly Lucifer why Lu Xi had not arrived and whether the plan had failed.
• The elderly Lucifer recalled that he had imprisoned the wounded Supreme God and absorbed ninety percent of his authority without killing him, which would destroy the DC Universe.
• Lucifer had subdued OBA and forced him to lure One-Above-All into the DC Universe so they could strip him of his authority and imprison him.
• Lucifer planned to use a counterpart separated from his original body to gain authority over Marvel, then fuse that counterpart back into himself and combine the power of both worlds.
• Lucifer realized Lu Xi had noticed something was wrong and refused to come, and he began wondering whether his plan had a flaw.

Lu Xi resisted the summons that he suspected Old Man Lucifer had sent to lure him into a trap. When Old Man Lucifer and OBA attacked the Marvel Universe, Lu Xi fought back and revealed that he had warned rulers across other worlds, many of whom came from legends in his home world.

• OBA worried that Lu Xi’s growing control would eventually cost him his authority, but Old Man Lucifer insisted that Lu Xi would take the bait or they would invade the Marvel Universe.
• After two years of resisting the summons, Lu Xi concluded that Old Man Lucifer was behind the events that had helped him gain control of the Marvel Universe.
• Old Man Lucifer and OBA entered the Marvel Universe, and OBA immediately contested Lu Xi’s authority while Old Man Lucifer attacked his will.
