Chen Shouyi experimented with his willpower, then agreed to invest his auction earnings in Jiangnan Province’s state-owned enterprises. By late April, he had reached Kunru Province to help the military locate the God of Bloodshed’s Space Channel, and he spent four thousand Faith Value as the chapter ended.
Chen Shouyi advanced his Giant Battle Body to Super and discovered its transformation retained his Agility. After Li Wenwu arrived, he briefed Chen on their mission to locate the Space Channel in southern Luoyue Nation, where Chen would need to learn the local language.
Chen Shouyi and Li Wenwu crossed into the occupied Luoyue Nation, where they witnessed the brutal treatment of its human population. In Dihe City, a mysterious man recognized them as Legendary powerhouses from the northern nation and approached them.
Chen Shouyi and Li Wenwu met the God of Conspiracy and Deception, who offered intelligence in exchange for help defeating the God of Bloodshed. After learning the God of Bloodshed was still a Weak Divine Power, Chen Shouyi attacked the God of Conspiracy for spying on them.
Chen Shouyi beat the God of Conspiracy and Deception until the god agreed to help him reach the Space Channel. The god guided Chen Shouyi and Li Wenwu through the sky, while Chen suspected he had concealed how he learned about Great Xia’s forces.
Chen Shouyi and Li Wenwu flew toward the holy city of the God of Bloodshed while the God of Conspiracy pretended to cooperate. Their conversation about True God flesh left the God of Conspiracy terrified of Chen Shouyi’s strength as they continued toward their destination.
Chen Shouyi tried to escape the God of Bloodshed’s approaching forces by bringing the Giant Bird down, but he had to cut its head off and jump from the sky with Li Wenwu and the God of Conspiracy. They survived their falls, and the God of Conspiracy ran to Chen Shouyi for help as three flying beasts circled overhead.
Chen Shouyi’s group pressed toward the Space Channel despite the God of Bloodshed noticing them, while the God of Conspiracy kept insisting he was there to help. The chapter left them nearing the hostile Faith Domain, with Li Wenwu borrowing Chen Shouyi’s War Bow and the God of Conspiracy realizing Chen Shouyi had a space ability.
Li Wenwu struggled to draw Chen Shouyi’s five-thousand-pound War Bow as a powerful enemy approached. Chen Shouyi sent Shell Girl to hide and ran toward the God of Bloodshed, eager to test his strength.
Chen Shouyi confronted the Blood God in his holy city and fought him while wearing Divine Artifact armor. After their clash left them evenly matched, Chen Shouyi shattered the Blood God's divine force field with a powerful body slam and seized him in midair.
Chen Shouyi chased God of Bloodshed through a Space Channel into Tam World and killed him with repeated blows from a bone club. He returned to Earth, while Li Wenwu, believing Chen had died, was overjoyed to hear him calling for Shell Girl.
Chen Shouyi returned from killing the God of Bloodshed and found Shell Girl safe, while Li Wenwu struggled to believe the god was dead. At the command center, He Qingming prepared for a difficult battle, unaware that the threat had already been eliminated.
Chen Shouyi and Li Wenwu reached Great Xia after Chen killed the God of Bloodshed, while the God of Conspiracy and Deception decided to seek refuge with the human nation. At Combat Command Headquarters, the news of the god’s death stunned the officers and gave He Qingming hope that the war was effectively over.
After Chen Shouyi reported that he had killed the God of Bloodshed, He Qingming’s officers struggled to believe the news but decided to continue the war while awaiting confirmation. Chen reflected on his power in the Otherworld, while Great Xia forces began reconnaissance and a major airborne operation over Luoyue Nation.
An airborne regiment crossed into Luoyue Nation to secure a Space Channel and found the devastation left by Chen Shouyi’s battle with a True God. Later, Chen Shouyi received special treatment at headquarters and realized the stew he was eating might be made from the True God Meat he had destroyed.
