After winning the Pythian Tournament, Suye weighed how to turn his trophies and divine blessings into power, deciding that personal growth mattered more than competing for more championships. Back at Plato Academy’s branch, he celebrated with his companions and discovered that Apollo’s blessings had made him a formidable Light Element Lord.

• Suye asked Alamo to watch for Divine Power Planes for sale and learned that he could exchange championship trophies for treasures in the Commerce Temple’s Luck Treasure Vault.

• Suye returned to a grand celebration at Plato Academy’s branch, received valuable congratulatory gifts, and danced with Pallas.
• Suye pretended to be drunk and went to his room, where he inspected his twelve new divine blessings in the Magic Tower.
• Suye found that the Light Element Lord blessing granted him Heavenly Fortress, Radiant Flash, stronger and faster Light Element magic, and Light Element Summoning.

Suye examined the divine gifts and discovered that National Divine Authority had transferred four of Andre’s talents to him, including Mobile Casting. He sacrificed the Flower Town Deed to gain Domain Expansion, then went to sleep while Andre realized his talents were missing and erupted in anger.

• Suye assessed the gods’ gifts, valuing Athena’s Magic Power Surge, Harmony’s Wisdom’s Words, and the Muses’ Heart’s Sound among his new talents.

• Suye sacrificed the Flower Town Deed at the altar and received the six-ring Magic Talent Domain Expansion, which increased his domain’s radius by fifty percent.

Suye gave Pallas the Flower Town Deed to support their chamber of commerce and plans to help the poor, then visited the Sun God Temple to explore its Great Vault. He discovered that the vault was packed with treasures, and the brightest light he saw came from the sun overhead.

• Suye explained that Flower Town’s income would fund the town and the Suye-Pallas Chamber of Commerce, and asked Pallas to buy a nearby town for settling people and establishing a magic school.
• Pallas accepted the Flower Town Deed, and Suye gave her the Star Ring Gate and asked about temple treasures.
• Suye told Pallas that every flower in Flower Town and every note of “Ode to Pallas” was for her, then left for the Sun God Temple.
• Andre swore before Apollo’s statue that he would never cause trouble for Suye again, and Alamo took Suye to the Great Vault.
• Suye surveyed the vault with his Magic Vision, Magic Perception, and Altar Eye, and saw that its brightest light came from the sun overhead.

Suye used the Altar Eye to assess the Sun God Temple’s treasures and exchanged his championship trophy for a small volcano that contained an undeveloped Divine Power Plane. He then went with Alamo to the Luck Treasure Vault, where he sensed that some of its sealed boxes were different.

• Suye identified ten promising treasures, including the Volcano Plane and a World Tree Branch, while avoiding artifacts with dangerous auras.

The Zeus Temple’s Chief High Priest learned that Suye had taken a prized set of divine equipment, but accepted that the temples would not take it back.

• A Zeus Temple priest blamed Alamo and the Sun God Temple for helping Suye take the treasures, but the Chief High Priest said the temples would not reclaim them.

Suye discovered that Athena’s temple let him exchange his trophies for far more valuable treasures than other temples did, and Alamo and the priests were dumbfounded by the goddess’s apparent favor. Convinced he should trust Athena, Suye decided to spend his trophies there and approached the vault’s seven greatest treasures.

• Suye visited the Hera Temple with Alamo, exchanged a Champion King Trophy for a treasure, and left without entering the Luck Treasure Vault.
• At the Athena Temple, Suye praised Athena and found that trophies could be exchanged for unusually powerful treasures at reduced costs, leaving Alamo and the priests astonished.
• Suye recalculated his exchangeable trophies and realized he had 22 Tournament Trophies, 11 Champion King Trophies, and two Overall Champion King Trophies available in the temple.
• Alamo and the Chief Priest urged Suye to accept Athena’s gifts, explaining that the goddess’s generosity was not limited by mortal measures of wealth.
• Suye decided to trust Athena and keep all his trophies in her temple, then headed for the seven top treasures that required only Champion King Trophies to claim.

Suye exchanged his trophies for rare treasures, including a Thunder Dragon Eagle King and a dragon deity’s head, then used his remaining prizes to open chests in Athena’s Luck Treasure Vault. The first two chests revealed powerful Semi-Divine Artifacts, confirming that Athena had arranged exceptional rewards for him.

• Suye chose the Thunder Dragon Eagle King and the Dragon God's Head, then exchanged trophies for Miracle Servant remains and other treasures.

Suye received a trove of divine treasures from Athena’s temple, including Divinized Olive Wood, and learned that Athena would reward him with a drop of the Fountain of Youth if he earned first merit in the coming war against Persia. Back in the Ruined Space, he prepared to strengthen himself by organizing the many divine gifts he had recently acquired.

• The Chief Priest and Alamo opened the remaining chests, revealing treasures including Ten-Section Divinized Olive Wood, and agreed to keep the haul secret.
• The Chief Priest told Suye that Athena had promised him a drop of the Fountain of Youth if he earned first merit in the next battle against the Persian Army.

• Suye left Alamo after teasing him about Aristotle, returned to his room, and entered the Ruined Space to inspect his harvest.
• Suye organized his recent divine gifts, counting twenty-five talents or bloodlines and one cup of divine-grade wine among the twenty-six new gifts.

After absorbing a Thunder Element bloodline, Suye suffered a painful backlash that damaged his room and affected his companions, revealing that the many recent divine gifts were overwhelming their bodies. Niedern warned him to avoid further divine gifts and intense cultivation for six months, while Suye planned to focus on Golden Magic and collect his winnings.

• Suye sacrificed the Thunder War Spear and Dark Cloud Shield together and gained a Thunder Element General bloodline.
• The bloodline triggered a splitting headache and uncontrolled lightning that hurt Di Aotian, Wang Dachui, and the Black Demon Sheep and wrecked Suye's room.
• Wang Dachui explained that their bodies were rejecting the many recent divine-gifted powers, and Suye learned he could understand Di Aotian's language.
• Suye asked Niedern for advice, and Niedern warned him to avoid developing talents or receiving divine gifts for six months while focusing on study and research.
• Suye told Niedern he had gained Wisdom's Words, and Niedern explained that Creation Sound was the highest language talent and could unlock immense power.
• Suye said he had spent his trophies at four temples and would collect his money the next day instead of visiting more temples.

Suye explained to Niedern why he had devoted his divine trophies to Athena’s temple, then entrusted him with equipment to sell and announced plans to raise horses. At his altar, Suye offered a Fire Plane and gained new powers and five God Transformation Treasure Diamonds, then discovered that Star Ring Gate was worth tens of millions.

• Suye told Niedern that Athena mattered most to him and promised donations to the other temples, while Niedern warned that nobles and priests might still target him.
• Suye left six pieces of golden divine power equipment and a set of Zeus’s Thundercloud Shield and Spear with Niedern to sell, and said he planned to raise horses.
• Suye offered the Fire Plane at the altar and received Hero’s Body, Resonance Fire, and five God Transformation Treasure Diamonds.
• Suye realized the diamonds could integrate divine might into powers or objects and decided to wait before using them while he investigated their value and rarity.
• Suye used the Altar Eye to inspect the champion rewards and Andre’s apology, then froze when he saw that Star Ring Gate had tens-of-millions-level light mist.

Suye confirmed that Six Rings sacrifices could yield God Transformation Treasure Diamonds and discovered that the Star Ring Gate led to a Main God-level Old God Star. He recruited Niedern to help finance a major horse-farm acquisition, then learned how Elemental Resonance worked and chose Resonance Fire, leaving him determined to build up power over the next few months.

• Suye placed the Star Ring Gate on the altar and received Dimensional Protection, Unimpeded Shuttle, and a God Transformation Treasure Diamond.
• Suye woke Niedern and proposed buying ordinary horse farms to profit from an invention that would make cavalry far more effective.
• Niedern agreed to invest and enlisted Vice President Neder and Teacher Thucydides to help manage the large-scale purchase.
• Suye asked Niedern about Elemental Resonance, read the books Niedern sent, and learned its conditions and potential to summon an Element Master avatar.
• Suye entered the Magic Tower and chose Resonance Fire, which ignited faint red flames across the Fire Element Root.

Suye entered the Volcano Plane and explored its rich but dangerous landscape, discovering that it offered far greater meditation benefits than the Giant Hills. The Hell Unicorn retrieved many valuable items from the largest volcano’s lava lake, but the Plane Heart remained hidden, so Suye prepared to win its trust.

• Suye entered the Volcano Plane with Di Aotian and Wang Dachui, where his abilities protected him from the lava and heat.
• Wang Dachui identified a Magic Silver Mine and explained that the plane could remain open for only a limited time until Suye mastered it.
• Suye surveyed the tribes of magical beasts and Magma Elves around the largest volcano, then meditated and found the effect was three times stronger than in the Giant Hills.
• Suye ordered the Hell Unicorn to search the lava lake, and it brought up a Magma Fire Crystal and many other treasures without finding the Plane Heart.
• Wang Dachui suggested the Plane Heart still doubted Suye, and Suye produced a purple sphere of light to dispel its doubts.

Suye conquered the Volcano Plane, organized its riches and inhabitants, and planned how to build wealth and spread knowledge after returning to Athens. He left the story ready to return to Athens at dawn.

• Suye defeated the Magma Elves’ resistance, drove off the Beastman monsters, and secured the tribe’s submission.
• Suye gave the Plane Soul to the red Fat Boy, explored the Volcano Plane as its master, and found rich mines and valuable magic herbs.
• Suye marked the richest deposits, sent Wang Dachui to mine a Magic Silver Mine, and tasked the Magma Elf Tribe Chief with carrying out his plans.
• Suye left the Volcano Plane and spent the dawn planning to develop horse farms and porcelain, then introduce Paper Making and Movable Type Printing to spread magic and knowledge.
• Suye concluded his preparations and looked east as the sun rose, ready to return to Athens.

Suye visited the temples of gods who had granted him divine gifts, proposing cooperation and planning to develop cheap paper and printing to spread scriptures and sell books. He returned to find that Niedern had sold the Thundercloud Shield and Spear for 7.9 million Golden Eagles.

• Suye asked Jimmy to contact Niedern after crowds gathered at the branch demanding to buy temple treasures, then left through the back entrance in disguise.
• Suye collected more than six million Golden Eagles from Alamo and pitched the Sun God Temple on funding books made with cheap paper and a new printing technique.

• Suye returned to the branch late at night, where Niedern told him that the Thundercloud Shield and Spear had sold for 7.9 million Golden Eagles.

Suye returned to Athens with the Plato Academy group after mining the Volcano Plane and discussing the danger awaiting him with Pallas. At the city gates, they encountered a funeral procession and armed soldiers apparently sent to confront him.

• Suye learned from Wang Dachui that the Volcano Plane had once been a divine mine, and he gave Wang Dachui a Spatial Ring to continue mining its valuable ores.
• The Plato Academy teachers and students left Delphi and traveled toward Athens while Andre watched them depart and vowed that people in Athens would be waiting for them.
• On the journey, Pallas warned Suye that his enemies were prepared too, and Suye suggested she invest in Magic Horse ranches and join his planned horse-ranch acquisition.
• As the group approached Athens, they found three funeral pyres, relatives of the dead holding spears, and more than a hundred soldiers gathered outside the gates.
• Suye recognized the procession's connection to the dead and joked about entering through another gate, while Jimmy and Albert warned him that powerful soldiers and God of War Mountain might be involved.

Suye returned to Athens and faced accusations from the Rolon, Kabel, and Enka families over his actions in Grey River Town. Pallas defended him by declaring a Family War against the Kabel Family, and Trak’s pleas failed to make her withdraw it.

• The three families confronted Suye at Athens’s gates and accused him of murder, including Trak’s claim that Suye had burned Kanmonla to death in Grey River Town.
• Pallas challenged Trak’s claim that the witnesses were refugees and demanded to know whether they were subjects of her family’s Green Town.
• Pallas declared a Family War against the Kabel Family and invoked the Victory Spear Sword as her authority.
• An Athenian Holy Domain general urged Pallas to withdraw the war and said the alleged evidence did not exist, but she refused.
• Trak claimed the subjects had been taken by another noble and begged Pallas to withdraw the war, but she said the outcome had already been decided.
