Wang Teng absorbed new insights into True God Yaofeng's Heavenly Wind Soul Severing Secret Technique and Blazing Radiant True God's Myriad Manifestations Soul Control Secret Technique, then examined the physique talents gained from the battle. His Heart of Calamity rose to the Fifth Rank with 315,000 points, leaving him confident he could remove Calamity Force from the contaminated powerhouses.

Wang Teng absorbed wealth aura from the gathered Light Universe powerhouses, strengthening his Golden Wealth Divine Body while keeping its nature secret from Icestis and Yuan Gungun. Meanwhile, the Mechanical Race God-Level Warship detected an abnormal fluctuation but could not locate its source.

• Wang Teng sensed the wealth aura entering his body, where it strengthened his Golden Wealth Divine Body and revealed pale-golden patterns beneath his skin.
• Wang Teng teased Icestis and Yuan Gungun about his newfound wealthy appearance, but neither guessed what his constitution was.
• Wang Teng realized wealth aura indirectly strengthened his Golden Wealth Divine Body, while Nan Xi's source energy had improved it directly.
• Wang Teng drew in increasingly dense wealth aura from the Light Universe powerhouses, steadily raising his constitution's attribute value.
• The God-Level Warship's intelligent core detected an abnormal fluctuation and scanned the warship, but failed to find its source.

A Mechanical Race existence detected an unfamiliar fluctuation that it suspected was the power of fortune, then decided it could not let the situation continue. Aboard her Jin Yuan Spaceship, Nan Xi discovered someone on the nearby God-Level Warship was absorbing wealth aura at an extraordinary rate, leaving her shocked by the possibility that a higher-ranked [Golden Wealth Divine Body] existed outside Universe First Bank.

• The Mechanical Race existence scanned the God-Level Warship with its Soul Power, sensed an unfamiliar fluctuation, and guessed it might be the power of fortune.
• Nan Xi cultivated aboard the Jin Yuan Spaceship and absorbed residual wealth aura from the battlefield while hoping to surpass Wang Teng.
• The Jin Yuan Spaceship warned Nan Xi that wealth energy was rapidly disappearing at a rate of 300 points per second.
• Nan Xi activated the [Eye of Golden Wealth] and spotted countless strands of wealth aura gathering near the God-Level Warship.
• Nan Xi concluded that someone aboard the warship was absorbing the powerhouses' wealth aura and suspected the person possessed a higher-ranked [Golden Wealth Divine Body] than hers.

Nan Xi detected someone rapidly absorbing wealth energy aboard the Mechanical Race's God-Level Warship and suspected the culprit possessed a high-rank Golden Wealth Divine Body. She reported the matter to her father, Venerable One Nanxiao, while Wang Teng remained unaware of her investigation and accelerated his absorption.

• Nan Xi considered which faction might contain the unknown Golden Wealth Divine Body user and decided to report the suspicious energy loss to Universe First Bank.
• Nan Xi contacted Venerable One Nanxiao and explained that wealth energy was draining from powerful figures aboard the Mechanical Race's God-Level Warship at an extraordinary rate.
• Venerable One Nanxiao agreed the suspected sixth-rank-or-higher talent was valuable and said he would consult Universe First Bank's higher-ups while Nan Xi watched the situation.
• Wang Teng sensed that the Soul Power nearby belonged to another Mechanical Race powerhouse, not the Blazing Radiant True God, and realized that powerhouse could not detect the wealth aura.
• Wang Teng grew bolder and increased his absorption of the wealth aura from the warship's powerful occupants.

Wang Teng secretly absorbed the wealth aura of powerful beings aboard the Mechanical Race God-Level Warship, bringing his Golden Wealth Divine Body to fifth-rank perfection. After briefly stopping when the aura dwindled, he resumed absorbing it and eventually realized he had reached a limit that could trigger backlash.

• Wang Teng hid himself with the Chaos Star Region and greedily absorbed the powerful beings’ wealth aura, raising his Golden Wealth Divine Body to 50000/50000 and fifth-rank perfection.
• Wang Teng suspected Nan Xi had sensed him through their shared Golden Wealth Divine Body, but he continued absorbing wealth aura to improve his fortune.
• When the flow diminished, Wang Teng stopped to check whether the powerful beings had noticed, while Nan Xi worried he might have been caught.
• Seeing no reaction, Wang Teng resumed absorbing the wealth aura, astonishing Nan Xi and prompting her to consider reporting his concealment ability to Universe First Bank.
• The wealth aura from the Immortal Level and True God Level beings dwindled to nothing, and Wang Teng realized he had reached a limit and risked backlash if he absorbed more.

Wang Teng stopped absorbing Wealth Qi after sensing the danger of backlash and discovered that his Luck attribute had risen from 65 to 68. Summoned to the warship’s main hall, he learned that the powerhouses’ contamination had begun acting strangely, and he suspected his absorption of their Wealth Qi was involved.

• Wang Teng restrained his Golden Wealth Divine Body, deciding to digest the Wealth Qi he had already absorbed rather than risk further backlash.
• Wang Teng checked his Attribute Panel and found that his Luck had increased by 3 points, apparently because his wealth fortune had risen.
• A robot escorted Wang Teng to the warship’s main hall, where Blazing Radiant True God, True God Zhulong, True God Yaofeng, Old Man Ji, and the other powerhouses were waiting.
• Wang Teng sat beside Old Man Ji and tried to conceal how well he had recovered, but the gathered powerhouses noticed he was in better condition than most of them.
• Old Man Ji warned Wang Teng that the summons likely concerned rules for isolating and purifying the contaminated survivors, and said their power had recently grown restless.
• Wang Teng admitted that he had felt the same disturbance while pretending not to know its cause, and Old Man Ji grew suspicious of his behavior.

Wang Teng watched ten True God Level beings gather in the Mechanical Race’s main control hall as Blazing Radiant True God revealed that their warship had detected a disturbance in fortune. The Mechanical Race could not trace its source, leaving the assembled powers alarmed and True God Yaofeng openly challenging Blazing Radiant True God.

• Wang Teng realized that his absorption of powerful beings’ Wealth Qi might have affected their fortune as ten True God Level figures appeared on the hall’s screens.
• Blazing Radiant True God explained that the God-Level Warship had detected a fluctuation resembling fortune, but could not identify its source.
• Venerable Yinlei suggested that someone was tampering with their fortune, while Wang Teng concealed his involvement and acted as alarmed as everyone else.
• True God Zhulong asked whether the culprit could be found, and Blazing Radiant True God confirmed that the Mechanical Race could not trace the disturbance.
• True God Yaofeng angrily questioned why they had been summoned if the source could not be found, and Blazing Radiant True God met his challenge as tension filled the hall.

True God Yaofeng accused the Mechanical Race of responsibility for the attack, but Blazing Radiant True God challenged him and the True Gods split into opposing camps. The confrontation ended with three True Gods backing each side, leaving Yaofeng under pressure to apologize.

• True God Zhulong defended the Mechanical Race after True God Yaofeng blamed it for the incident aboard its God-Level Warship.
• Blazing Radiant True God demanded evidence and threatened consequences when Yaofeng continued to cast suspicion on the Mechanical Race.
• One of the ten True God projections intervened to stop the dispute, while two more supported Yaofeng and argued that his suspicions were reasonable.
• True God Zhulong and two other True Gods declared their support for the Mechanical Race, bringing the opposing sides to three against three.
• True God Yaofeng realized he could not gain an advantage and might have to apologize to settle the matter.

True God Yaofeng was forced to apologize to the Mechanical Race after Blazing Radiant True God confronted him, though their dispute remained unresolved. The assembly then turned to the placement of the survivors and the dangerous Darkness Power and Calamity Force within them, with everyone waiting to hear the arrangements.

• True God Yaofeng accused the Mechanical Race of failing to trace the fluctuation, and Blazing Radiant True God demanded that he apologize.
• True God Yaofeng reluctantly admitted his words had been a slip, while Wang Teng mocked him and privately told Old Man Ji that he expected Yaofeng to retaliate regardless.
• Blazing Radiant True God let the confrontation end after the Mechanical Race secured Yaofeng's apology.
• True God Yaofeng raised the question of placement, and Blazing Radiant True God warned that the Darkness Power and Calamity Force inside the survivors had to be resolved.
• The assembled survivors said they would obey the arrangements made by the True God Lords.

Blazing Radiant True God announced that the factions would send the battle’s survivors to the Mechanical Race’s Light Secret Realm to purge Darkness Power and Calamity Force. The realm’s fifty-year limit left Wang Teng worried that True God Yaofeng was using the lockdown to slow his growth, though he stayed calm and waited to see what Yaofeng would do.

• Blazing Radiant True God reassured the Immortal Level beings that their contributions would be rewarded before explaining that Light Power could suppress Darkness Power and Calamity Force.
• Blazing Radiant True God revealed that the Mechanical Race would provide its Light Secret Realm, where Light Source Origin would gradually purge the harmful forces.
• True God Yaofeng privately considered using the situation to extract benefits from the Mechanical Race, while Wang Teng and Old Man Ji looked forward to the realm’s dense Light Power.
• Blazing Radiant True God warned that the Light Power could harm those who remained too long and set a maximum stay of fifty years, with everyone monitored before departure.
• The gathered experts turned their attention to Wang Teng, who suspected True God Yaofeng had engineered the fifty-year lockdown to hinder his growth.
• Old Man Ji urged Wang Teng to stay calm and wait for Yaofeng to reveal his intentions, and Wang Teng assured him that he would not act rashly.

Candle Demon Venerable spoke up for Wang Teng as the True Gods discussed quarantine, but True God Yaofeng proposed a hundred-year confinement for him. Wang Teng’s unruffled response threw Yaofeng’s scheme into disarray, leaving the True Gods newly intrigued by him.

• Candle Demon Venerable challenged the silence over Wang Teng’s quarantine, and Blazing Radiant True God explained that the period would be shortened for fighters below Immortal Level according to their strength and contamination.
• True God Yaofeng proposed a provisional one-hundred-year quarantine for Wang Teng, arguing that his battlefield achievements made the risk of Darkness Power corruption especially serious.
• Wang Teng sarcastically thanked True God Yaofeng and gave him a thumbs-up, leaving Yaofeng stunned and frustrating his attempt to pressure Wang Teng.
• True God Zhulong laughed at Yaofeng, while the True God observers studied Wang Teng and recognized that they had underestimated him.

Wang Teng verbally countered True God Yaofeng’s proposal to seal him in the Light Secret Realm for a hundred years, while Old Man Ji objected on Starry Sky Academy’s behalf. Yaofeng justified the proposal by raising concerns about Wang Teng’s talents and knowledge of the Calamity Demon Body, prompting True God Zhulong to confront him for suspecting Wang Teng.

• Wang Teng answered True God Yaofeng’s accusation of disrespect by pointing out that he had already given him a thumbs-up, drawing laughter from another True God.
• True God Yaofeng claimed Wang Teng had accepted the hundred-year seal, but Old Man Ji stood up and said Starry Sky Academy would not agree to it.
• Old Man Ji argued that a hundred-year seal would ruin Wang Teng’s martial path, and True God Yaofeng defended the duration by citing Wang Teng’s weak resistance and Light Attribute talent.
• True God Yaofeng argued that Wang Teng’s exceptional talents and knowledge of the Calamity Demon Body made incomplete purification too dangerous, leading the gathered powerhouses to reconsider the risks.
• True God Zhulong slammed his palm on the table and demanded to know whether True God Yaofeng suspected Wang Teng, who replied that he was merely curious about Wang Teng’s knowledge of the Calamity Demon Body.

Wang Teng turned True God Yaofeng’s demand to reveal how he had seen through the [Calamity Demon Body] against him, agreeing to share the method while insisting it was an innate talent. He then demonstrated his True Sight Eye, leaving Yaofeng and the other True Gods to pay for the knowledge.

• True God Yaofeng used the secret of the [Calamity Demon Body] to imply Wang Teng might have followed a dangerous path and should be sealed if he refused to disclose his method.
• Wang Teng readily agreed to share the method and said the Light Universe’s leaders would compensate him, undermining Yaofeng’s attempt to make him look suspicious.
• Wang Teng claimed that seeing through the [Calamity Demon Body] was a talent others could not learn, then pressed Yaofeng to accept the method.
• True God Zhulong and Blazing Radiant True God encouraged Yaofeng to pay, and the other True Gods agreed to share the cost of learning the method.
• True God Yaofeng accepted the arrangement, and Wang Teng activated his True Sight Eye to demonstrate the talent he had used.

Wang Teng revealed his True Sight Eye to the gathered powerhouses, and Blazing Radiant True God presented the Mechanical Race’s records confirming its rarity and power. The information deterred most from trying to seize it, but True God Yaofeng secretly dismissed the warning and coveted the talent.

• Wang Teng explained that his True Sight Eye was an innate talent that could not simply be handed over, then named it for the gathered powerhouses.
• Venerable One Fengtai mentioned other ocular talents, and Wang Teng asked Yuan Gungun to look up information on Heart Source True Eye.
• True God Zhulong asked Blazing Radiant True God to search the Mechanical Race’s database, which revealed that True Sight Eye was exceptionally rare and could not be stripped away without self-destructing.
• Wang Teng observed that most of the powerhouses accepted the warning, while True God Yaofeng and Venerable Yinlei showed signs of greed and envy.
• True God Yaofeng secretly decided the records might be wrong and considered taking Wang Teng’s True Sight Eye for himself.

The True Gods learned that Wang Teng’s True Sight Eye could perceive the flow of Darkness Power, and they argued over whether revealing it counted as handing over his talent. True God Yaofeng eventually agreed to compensate Wang Teng according to the talent’s original value.

• The True Gods questioned Wang Teng about his True Sight Eye, and he confirmed that it could see the flow of Darkness Power.
• Blazing Radiant True God cautioned that the talent alone could not restrain Darkness Breeds without Light Power.
• True God Yaofeng argued that Wang Teng had not handed over his talent, but True God Zhulong and Blazing Radiant True God insisted that revealing it had cost him something.
• Wang Teng suggested that True God Yaofeng reveal one of his own talents to make them even, cornering him before the gathered True Gods.
• True God Yaofeng conceded that Wang Teng had handed over his talent but tried to reduce the compensation, then agreed to pay according to the True Sight Eye’s original value.

Wang Teng received the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit as compensation from True God Yaofeng, but blocked a hidden soul impact the treasure emitted. After learning what the fruit was and how valuable it was to dragonkind, Wang Teng realized Yaofeng was trying to drive a wedge between him and True God Zhulong.

• True God Yaofeng sent Wang Teng a treasure whose powerful soul impact was blocked by the Nine Treasures Floating Slaughter Pagoda.
• Wang Teng thanked True God Yaofeng and revealed that the treasure contained a soul impact, drawing contempt from the Immortal Level powerhouses.
• True God Yaofeng identified the treasure as the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit, causing True God Zhulong to lose his composure.
• Wang Teng consulted Yuan Gungun’s information and the Void Devouring Beast’s inherited memories to learn about the fruit.
• Wang Teng recognized that True God Yaofeng had offered the fruit to exploit its allure to the Candle Dragon Race and weaken Wang Teng’s alliance with True God Zhulong.

Wang Teng saw through True God Yaofeng’s attempt to drive a wedge between him and True God Zhulong, while True God Zhulong refused to fall for the scheme. Wang Teng restrained the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit’s radiance and revealed its two remarkable effects, leaving the gathered powerhouses stunned.

• Wang Teng dismissed the risk of True God Zhulong switching sides, and Blazing Radiant True God warned True God Zhulong not to fall for True God Yaofeng’s scheme.
• True God Zhulong admitted he had been tempted by the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit but told Blazing Radiant True God he would not let True God Yaofeng manipulate him.
• True God Yaofeng insisted the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was his compensation for Wang Teng, while Wang Teng praised him sarcastically.
• At a True God’s request, Wang Teng used Mental Power patterns to restrain the fruit’s radiance and reveal its dragon-and-phoenix markings.
• Wang Teng explained that the fruit could turn Star Beasts with dragon or Phoenix bloodlines into Dragon Phoenix Beasts and could also give a martial warrior the legendary Dragon Phoenix Body, shocking the Immortal Level powerhouses.

True God Zhulong revealed that True God Yaofeng’s Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was immature and nearly useless without vast quantities of high-quality Dragon and Phoenix Source Blood, exposing Yaofeng’s attempt to pass off poor compensation to Wang Teng. Wang Teng mocked Yaofeng for being poor, and Blazing Radiant True God blocked Yaofeng when he tried to strike back.

• Blazing Radiant True God pointed out that the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit was immature, prompting True God Zhulong to abandon his suspicions that Yaofeng could drive a wedge between him and Wang Teng.
• True God Zhulong explained that maturing the fruit required Dragon and Phoenix Source Blood, and that its quality depended on the amount and level of blood it absorbed.
• True God Zhulong exposed that Yaofeng’s fruit had absorbed almost no Dragon or Phoenix blood, leaving the gathered powerhouses to question its value.
• Wang Teng mocked Yaofeng for being too poor to offer proper compensation, leaving the True God embarrassed and furious.
• True God Yaofeng slammed the table and unleashed his pressure at Wang Teng, but Blazing Radiant True God blocked it and rebuked him.

Wang Teng used True God Zhulong and Blazing Radiant True God’s support to stop True God Yaofeng from retaliating and secure compensation for the [Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit]. The True Gods agreed that Wang Teng could later negotiate an exchange with the Candle Dragon Race, while Yaofeng was left feeling he had lost out.

• True God Yaofeng threatened Wang Teng, but Blazing Radiant True God and True God Zhulong stood in his way and warned him against attacking.
• True God Yaofeng’s ally proposed ending the dispute by treating the [Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit] as compensation and arranging an exchange with the Candle Dragon Race.
• True God Zhulong promised Wang Teng satisfactory terms, and Wang Teng agreed to discuss the exchange later.
• Wang Teng sealed and put away the [Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit], while True God Yaofeng remained bitter about the outcome.
