Character developments

• Meng Chuan remains unwavering, accepting the Great Dao’s assimilation despite its near-fatal effect. His pursuit of the Dao matters more to him than survival.

• Meng Chuan fulfills his long-standing promise to Ruthless to eliminate the Demon, who would otherwise have threatened Ye Fan and the others.
• He also safeguards the Main God Space so it can never turn against its four administrators, and accelerates its completion so it can emerge and begin spreading his Dao.

• After killing the Demon of the Dao’s Opposition, Meng Chuan disappears completely into the Great Dao. His final strike was made during a brief moment of clarity; he cannot manifest or strike again.
• The Nine Limitless Ones and other powerful beings do not know this for certain. Since Meng Chuan has repeatedly defied expectations, they fear the possibility that he could return.
• Houtu and Primordial Beginning reason that Meng Chuan’s strike targeted only the demon, not them. He had no reason to kill the other Limitless Ones, so they resolve to leave Ye Fan and his companions alone—at least for now.
• The Limitless Ones recognize that Meng Chuan’s protection is temporary. Some may eventually risk attacking his companions in hopes of finding secrets that do not exist; others may instead seek their friendship.

• Although Ye Fan, Shi Hao, Chu Feng, and Ruthless hoped to cultivate quietly, Meng Chuan’s legacy attracted danger and scrutiny.

Alone afterward, Bibi Dong recalls how he changed her fate and acknowledges her long-hidden affection for him. She attains Great Luo.
