While traveling to Golden Wing City, Liewen discovered a Fate-related treasure in Kalon’s Interspatial Ring and learned that the legendary Heavenly Fate Stone could transform a Fate Highgod into a Seven-Star Apostle. The ship continued toward Golden Wing City as Liewen heard that Mountain of Fate might soon produce another stone.

• Liewen sensed that Kalon’s Interspatial Ring had become ownerless, claimed it, and found over three hundred billion Celestial Stones and a pale-gold stone containing the Rules of Fate.

• The Bearded Dwarf explained that only two Heavenly Fate Stones had appeared, and the current lord of Golden Wing City, Lord Golden Wing, had used one to rise from Five-Star to Seven-Star Apostle strength.

Liewen learned how the Heavenly Fate Stone and its tokens worked, then realized the token he had found in Kalon's Interspatial Ring could let him enter Mountain of Fate. After arriving in Golden Wing City and completing his escort mission, he set out to pursue the chance to obtain the stone.

• Liewen received fifty thousand Celestial Stones and a two-star Apostle rank before the Apostles said farewell and dispersed.

Liewen learned that Kalon had exposed his possession of a Heavenly Fate Stone Token, making him a target for anyone seeking the stone. After disguising himself, he searched White Sand Castle for powerful divine-beast Essence Blood and found a bottle from a Highgod of the Azure Dragon Clan.

He fully comprehended the Rules of Fate within the Heavenly Fate Stone Token, reached Five-Star Apostle strength with his Fate God Clone, and received the token’s recognition to enter Mountain of Fate.

• At the mountaintop, more than a dozen Six-Star Apostles gathered around the Heavenly Fate Stone, while the two Five-Star Apostles who had held the other tokens lay dead.

• Liewen used the Heavenly Fate Stone to kill the Six-Star Apostles, collected their Interspatial Rings, and found the Stone could help him comprehend the Rules of Fate.
• As Liewen tried to leave the Mountain of Fate, the Heavenly Fate Stone sent pale-golden threads into his soul and stiffened his body; his attacks could not affect it.
• Golden Wing appeared and told Liewen to stop resisting, saying they would become companions in a few hundred years.
• Liewen recognized that the threads were not ordinary Fate Puppet Threads and decided that greater strength could overcome the Stone.
• Liewen began cultivating with all three bodies, having his true body and Fate God Clone study the Rules of Fate while his Light God Clone focused on the Light Speed profound mystery.

After three hundred years of cultivating under the Heavenly Fate Stone’s soul control, Liewen used his Laws of Light and Rules of Fate to resist it, but Golden Wing strengthened the control to God Lord level. A system reward triggered by Linley learning Blackstone Space freed Liewen, who escaped Mountain of Fate only to be intercepted by Golden Wing and overwhelmed by his Wind attack.

• Liewen cultivated for three hundred years, mastering three Light Profound Mysteries and advancing his Rules of Fate to Six-Star Apostle level with the Heavenly Fate Stone’s aid.
• Liewen attacked the Heavenly Fate Stone with his Light God Clone and Fate God Clone, but Golden Wing intervened and raised its soul control to God Lord level.

• Liewen asked Golden Wing what the Heavenly Fate Stone was, and Golden Wing began to explain.

Golden Wing revealed to Liewen that Tianming created the Heavenly Fate Stones to control gifted cultivators and share their progress through Fate Resonance. After explaining that he had exposed the scheme, Golden Wing offered Liewen a favor, and Liewen asked him to help find Essence Blood from supreme Divine Beasts or their descendants.

• Golden Wing told Liewen that Tianming created the second and third Heavenly Fate Stones and used them to select and control talented cultivators.
• Golden Wing explained that his cultivation progress had also advanced Tianming through Fate Resonance, and that Liewen had become Tianming’s prime target after quickly comprehending the Rules of Fate.

• Liewen realized that the Sovereign who researched unusual abilities was likely Orloff, ruler of the Endless Cloud Sea.
• Golden Wing advised Liewen to avoid Sharp until he had grown stronger, then mentioned that Kaste City might hold Essence Blood from descendants of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.

Liewen decided to travel to Hell to search Youlan Prefecture for Essence Blood, while Golden Wing revealed his Atley Clan heritage and planned to reunite its scattered members in Kaste City. Five years later, they left Golden Wing City on separate journeys.

• Liewen entered Mil City, became a Fiend, and obtained records that revealed the fixed routes used by the Four Divine Beasts Clan and the Eight Great Clans.

• A month later, people from Myriad Races Castle arrived at the Alot Tribe.

• Kabel delivered the corpses of nine Six-Star Fiends to Myriad Races Castle's envoy and received two hundred million Inkstones.

As the clan conflict entered its final stage, the Four Divine Beasts Clan withdrew to recover, while Liewen continued cultivating and awaiting a chance to obtain Essence Blood.
