### Arc 8: Final Battle -- Time Dao Ancestor (终战--时间道祖)

**Setting:** Heavenly Court battlefield

**The Confrontation:**
- **Protagonist Han Li** (Time Law, newly ascended to Great Luo peak)

- Gold Devouring Immortal **Jin Tong sacrifices herself** to save Han Li during the battle

---

### Ending: The Price of Dao Ancestor

Almost immediately after achieving Dao Ancestor status, Han Li begins experiencing **Heavenly Dao assimilation** (天道同化) -- the fatal weakness of all Dao Ancestors. Using law power progressively merges the Dao Ancestor with the fabric of reality until individual identity is lost. Most Dao Ancestors in history died this way.

**Han Li's Choice:**
- On the guidance of the Heaven-Palm Bottle's spirit
- He **seals his Dao Ancestor origin** (时间道祖本源) into the bottle
- The bottle **dissipates into nothingness** -- having served its ultimate purpose
- Han Li's realm drops back to **Great Luo peak** (大罗巅峰)

But even at Great Luo peak, as a former Dao Ancestor who mastered the Time Law, he remains the mightiest existence in all three realms.

### Final Chapter: Retirement in Black Earth

**Han Li retires to a secluded valley in the Black Earth Immortal Domain (黑土仙域):**

- **Nangong Wan** (南宫婉) -- his wife; reached Taiyi peak; awakened her previous incarnation memories (甘如霜) but chose to remain "Nangong Wan"
- **Han Qing** (韩青) -- their daughter, born in the Immortal Realm
- They live a peaceful, secluded life away from the conflicts of immortals and gods

**Other Character Fates:**
- **Fairy Violet Spirit** (紫灵) -- remains in the Demon Domain; reached Great Luo mid-stage; independent but maintains deep connection with Han Li
- **Silvermoon/Linglong** (银月/玲珑) -- stays in the Spirit Realm caring for the Silvermoon Wolf Clan
- **Yuan Yao** (元瑶) -- widely reported to have died during ascension tribulation; this is controversial among fans
- **Samsara Hall Master** (another Han Li) -- presumably exists in parallel, master of Samsara Law
- **Crab Daoist / Stone Kong Jie** (蟹道人/石空解) -- Puppet Law Dao Ancestor

## Themes of the Sequel

1. **Identity and Multiplicity:** Two Han Lis exist simultaneously -- what makes "Han Li" who he is?
2. **The Cost of Power:** Dao Ancestor-hood is a death sentence through Heavenly Dao assimilation; the ultimate power carries the ultimate price
3. **Choice and Sacrifice:** Han Li actively chooses to give up Dao Ancestor rather than be consumed by it
4. **Freedom Over Dominion:** The entire journey ends not with ruling the universe, but with choosing a simple life with family
5. **Circular Time:** The entire story is a closed time loop -- the Samsara Hall Master's existence means Han Li's destiny was always intertwined across timelines
