Nikola Hawking used Future Simulation to discover that his powers consumed lifespan, then found and devoured a life-extending Abyssal Fiend as he prepared to develop his strength. Zhang Guangmu learned the nature of Nikola's Fate Power, conquered the East Continent, and established the Long River Dynasty, where the people recognized him as the Long River Emperor.
Zhang Guangmu granted Chu Fan the title King Yun and assessed Li Xuanlong’s growing but vulnerable power in the South Continent. With the Guǐyù Research Institute unable to match its technology or send troops across the sea in time, Zhang Guangmu decided to summon Wang Shangqing for help.
Zhang Guangmu summoned King Shangqing, whose Fate Power, Aohé Liànzhì, let him refine materials into increasingly advanced creations and help solve the Long River Dynasty’s strategic problems. After King Shangqing became its second king and the first expeditionary fleet was completed, Zhang prepared to expand beyond East Continent, drawing Kamiza Arata Mirai’s furious attention.
Kamiza Arata Mirai conquered the South Continent after reaching the Fifth Order, while Li Xuanlong escaped and Zhang Guangmu’s fleet sailed toward the West Continent. With Zhang Guangmu in seclusion and Wang Shangqing focused on logistics, command of the army fell to Chu Fan.
Chu Fan took command of the West Continent campaign and discovered that his generals had rapidly conquered major cities, while Li Xuanlong was killed after Nikola Hawking hunted him for three months. With Li Xuanlong’s Southern Continent forces under Kamiza Arata Mirai’s control, the final battle between Zhang Guangmu’s forces and his opponents began.
Kamiza Arata Mirai watched the Long River Dynasty conquer the West Continent, then confronted Zhang Guangmu at Lonsdale City after advancing in strength. Zhang revealed that he had reached the Sixth Order and told Kamiza his expected reinforcements would not come.
Zhang Guangmu defeated Kamiza Arata Mirai after wearing down his strength and preventing his escape. With Kamiza Arata Mirai dead, Zhang Guangmu declared the war between Earth Civilization and Duo Civilization effectively decided.
Kamiza Arata Mirai revived in the ocean using a name-bound resurrection method, but Zhang Guangmu tracked him down and discovered his hidden plans. Zhang Guangmu annihilated him completely, while Nikola Hawking sensed another self begin speaking in his mind.
After Kamiza Arata Mirai died, Nikola Hawking explained why he had refused to help and survived the backlash from Duo Civilization’s viewers. Duo Civilization’s Control Group then advanced Taichu Star’s time by ten years, leaving Zhang Guangmu as the powerful Taichu Sovereign while Nikola Hawking had risen to the seventh realm.
Nikola Hawking suspected the Control Group had secretly used Time Flow to prepare him as a pawn against Zhang Guangmu, and decided to act on his own. He sent Zhang Guangmu a warning that their world was a movie, leaving the consequences of his revelation uncertain.
Nikola Hawking revealed the truth about the Subconscious Film World, but Zhang Guangmu used it to unsettle him and tried to recruit him into Changhe. As the Control Group tried to influence Changhe’s leaders, Zhang Guangmu interrupted their message and summoned the Marquises and King’s Ranks.
Zhang Guangmu revealed Nikola Hawking’s identity and the Control Group’s claims to the Changhe Faction, then Nikola chose to submit rather than risk dying in a doomed attack. Zhang Guangmu accepted him as a subordinate, intending to exploit his abilities and make him the scapegoat in the war against the Duo Civilization.
Zhang Guangmu borrowed Nikola Hawking’s Future Simulation Fate Power to probe the danger posed by the Duo Civilization Control Group. His simulations remained safe until the ninth day after Nikola defected, when all life on Taichu Star faced an accident.
Zhang Guangmu used Future Simulation to witness the World-Destroying Giant annihilate all life, then ran repeated simulations to learn more about it. He discovered the giant appeared for no more than a minute and eventually located the Mastermind hiding in the North Continent.
In the Future Simulation, Zhang Guangmu raided the Termination Organization’s base and learned that its Finality Giant was a short-lived Ninth Order weapon designed to wipe out life on Taichu Star. Though the simulation ended with Zhang Guangmu’s death, he gained crucial information and declared that he had found a way to become undefeatable.
Zhang Guangmu used Future Simulation to uncover the Finality Giant’s weakness and reach the Ultimate Tier. He destroyed the Termination Organization, compelled the giant to kill itself, and burned its body, bringing him closer to ending the apocalypse and unifying Taichu.
After defeating the Finality Giant, Zhang Guangmu summoned the Taichu Incarnation and learned that Taichu Star’s wish-granting power came from Earth’s Spiritual Wisdom Essence technology. The world of “All Heavens” froze before Zhang Guangmu could make a wish, and he returned to the Real World with an unprecedented Above Excellent evaluation.
After The Heavens ended, Zhang Guangmu read the flood of praise for his performance and reviewed the privileges and growing powers he had gained. As Mooncake congratulated him on becoming Subconscious Film Emperor, a new page appeared in his Book of Flames, titled “The Final Famous Scene from the Picture Scroll of Performance.”
After finishing his performance in “All Heavens,” Zhang Guangmu offered to give the Book of Acting a human body, but promised it a grand library when it declined. Li Xuanlong revealed that the Duo Civilization had escaped, and Zhang Guangmu used a point to improve his Sense of Space and locate it.
Zhang Guangmu sent an energy avatar into Duo Civilization’s fleeing fleet, watched Nikola Hawking’s execution, and then began destroying the escape starships. The fleet identified him as Tian Guang after he shattered the dimensional barrier and descended into the Real World.
Zhang Guangmu destroyed the Duo Civilization, uncovered how his transmigration and Book Bro came to be, and unified the timelines. Half a month later, he arrived at the global Myriad Heavens awards ceremony to be crowned its sole Subconscious Film Emperor.
At the Subconscious Film Emperor ceremony, Zhang Guangmu reunited with the characters he had portrayed, contacted Ma Ran, and accepted the award as Earth Civilization’s strongest supernatural individual. He used his power to bring happiness to his companions, and the chapter ended with their later lives and Zhang Guangmu’s happy life with Mooncake.
