He considered having Du Xue adopt a less extreme version, and the discussion left him with a way to adapt the sword without putting her life at risk.

• Online viewers marveled at the headless sword-wielding bear, while Xu Zhi watched the spectacle after reaching the Seventh-Order Heavenly Emperor realm.

• Forum members speculated about the virus spreading to other worlds while they waited for news from inside the world.
• Xu Zhi watched the discussion, considered the virus’s potential, and began assembling components for a Vacuum Mecha from Caroline’s blueprints.

• Xu Zhi watched the players' activity and then shifted his attention to the Ancient Lava Land as the Great Joy Emperor appeared again.

The Great Joy Emperor’s absence gave humanity time to undergo successive viral transformations, merging humans, magical beasts, and plants into a precarious balance among three competing viruses. In Year 50 of the Great Joy Dynasty, the Emperor returned and attacked the Azure Green Clan’s god, leaving the world and the forum players stunned.

• As humanity resumed reproduction, successive mutations transformed people into towering New Humans and merged human and magical-beast traits, while the Great Unification Virus threatened to assimilate all life.

• Xia Ni Ming described how Great Joy Emperor wounded Azure Green Heavenly God, cuckolded other gods, and left after praising a young man as his son.

• Xia Ni Ming said he had only recently become a Seventh-Order Heavenly Emperor and asked the forum for advice while he expanded a protective umbrella.
• Xu Zhi decided to inspect the stabilized New Humans and zombie evolution, then entered Ancient Lava Land.

Xu Zhi observed the changing Lava World and arrived in a town to study its people while the gods battled the Great Joy Emperor. Sheng Lin revealed that the emperor’s power came from fate, and asked Xu Zhi to defeat the force guiding him.

• Xu Zhi assessed how rising energy had strengthened the Lava World and concluded that the conditions for ninth-order beings might already exist.
• Xu Zhi entered a primitive town to study its inhabitants and encountered Sheng Lin, a Middle God in a mortal avatar.
• Sheng Lin explained that more than twenty gods, including hidden Plant Race and Beast Race gods, existed in the world beyond the human gods Xu Zhi had counted.
• Sheng Lin said the Great Joy Emperor was backed by fate, which she described as the world’s strongest power and the reason he seemed invincible.
• Sheng Lin knelt before Xu Zhi and asked him to defeat the force behind the emperor and save the era’s future.

Xu Zhi learned that the Three Pillar Gods were instinctive supercomputers that calculated their races’ futures and guided chosen leaders. The Daughter of Sheng Lin showed him a future in which the Great Joy Emperor unified all life under the Humanoid Pillar God, then pleaded with Xu Zhi to become the variable that could prevent her race’s destruction.

• The Daughter of Sheng Lin explained that the Plant-Type Pillar God had guided her rise and selected her by calculating which future would best serve the Plant Race.

• The Daughter of Sheng Lin said the Plant Race faced certain destruction in the Pillar God’s calculations and begged Xu Zhi to create a new variable.

Xu Zhi watched the battle over the future of the world, weighing whether fate’s growing power might produce a ninth-rank being. As the gods and hidden Beast Race and Plant Race forces attacked the Great Joy Emperor, he survived their combined assault unharmed, leaving the online spectators stunned.

• Xu Zhi considered how the Three Pillar Gods used the General Trend of the World and World Lines to shape fate, but decided that a ninth rank born from all living beings would be an imperfect path.
• The Great Joy Emperor, wounded while fighting seven gods, declared that he embodied fate and that resisting him meant defying the future.
• More than twenty hidden Beast Race and Plant Race gods joined the human gods in attacking the Great Joy Emperor with a devastating strike.
• After the white light faded, the Great Joy Emperor stood unharmed and threatened to kill the men and claim all the women as his royal consorts.
• Xia Ni Ming and the online spectators initially celebrated the assault, then stared in disbelief as screenshots showed the Great Joy Emperor had survived it without injury.

As Great Joy Emperor resisted the gods’ attacks by glimpsing the laws of the Ninth-Order World, the Think Tank searched for a way to help the battle’s observers. Xu Zhi and Daughter of Sheng Lin realized that Great Joy Emperor was using destiny to control his body like a world, while the Super Ancient God watched from nearby.

• The Think Tank entered the Wizard Community and debated whether Great Joy Emperor’s spatial defense made him invulnerable to a group attack, while Xia Ni Ming watched and shared screenshots.

• Xu Zhi watched the battle from afar with Daughter of Sheng Lin, who explained that Great Joy Emperor had begun to glimpse the Ninth-Order realm called World.
• Daughter of Sheng Lin said Great Joy Emperor was using destiny’s power to turn himself into a world and control every cell in his body, while Xu Zhi wondered whether the Three Pillar Gods had already deduced a path to the Ninth Order.

Xu Zhi explained how the Ninth-Order realm involved storing energy in every cell and controlling it with immense computational power. As the Great Joy Emperor overwhelmed the gods, Daughter of Sheng Lin revealed that the Pillar God’s calculations foretold his victory and that the World Line would converge on his grand unification.

• Xu Zhi reasoned that Ninth-Order beings treated each cell as an energy store, requiring microscopic control powerful enough to prevent their bodies from exploding.
• Xu Zhi inferred that the Great Joy Emperor used spatial techniques and quantum-level manipulation to evade attacks and fight the twenty gods.
• Du Xue approached Xu Zhi and Daughter of Sheng Lin with Balloon Fish and asked them to help defeat the Great Joy Emperor.
• Daughter of Sheng Lin said the Pillar God had calculated that the Great Joy Emperor would win, and that resistance could change only minor details, not the World Line’s final outcome.
• Xia Ni Ming secretly recorded the conversation and sent screenshots to the outside internet, which erupted over the revelations.
