Ch. 781Unfathomable? Then I'll Cheat!
Chapter Summary: “Unfathomable? Then I’ll Cheat!”
Key Plot Points and Events
- Zhao Tianzheng successfully obtains the complete Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow after the earlier plan sacrifices several True God Realm cultivators.
- He brings the arrow to Star-Seizing Tower, where it reacts strongly to the Falling Sun Bow, confirming that it is genuine.
- The arrow is damaged and requires time to repair before it can be used, but Zhao Tianzheng and the Grand Tower Master are unconcerned. They intend to use it to kill the Asura Hall Master and secure Star-Seizing Tower’s dominance.
- The two leaders praise Qin Luo for helping them obtain the arrow and plan to reward him with a low-grade Divine Artifact. They also discuss exploiting Qin Luo’s apparent “Fortune” by sending talented disciples to benefit from his opportunities.
- Their praise is insincere: they view Qin Luo as a useful Lower Realm cultivator, not someone worthy of becoming an elder. At most, they may make him an inner disciple after he enters the Divine Realm.
- Qin Luo sees through the reward’s inadequacy but remains satisfied because he knows the arrow he gave them was actually fake.
- After the battle concludes, Qin Luo reunites with Shen Wanning. She reveals that she is now considered a disciple of the mysterious Primordial Hall.
- Suspicious that Primordial Hall may be connected to Shen Yixing or may conceal a trap, Qin Luo asks Shen Yixing to investigate its fortune and danger.
- Shen Yixing’s divination immediately encounters a terrifying, “unfathomable” force and nearly kills him before he can begin.
- Qin Luo uses the system instead, spending one million Villain Points to calculate the result. The system declares Primordial Hall “Auspicious,” confirming that it is likely a beneficial opportunity for Shen Wanning.
Character Developments
- Zhao Tianzheng and the Grand Tower Master: Become increasingly confident and ambitious after obtaining the divine arrow. Their goal shifts toward defeating Asura Hall completely and controlling the Divine Realm’s affairs.
- Qin Luo: Demonstrates his usual pragmatism and deception. He recognizes that Star-Seizing Tower is underestimating him, accepts their worthless reward without concern, and secretly benefits from having tricked them with a fake arrow. He also uses the system to bypass a danger beyond Shen Yixing’s abilities.
- Shen Wanning: Gains a potentially major opportunity through her connection to Primordial Hall. Her new status as a disciple suggests further growth in power and importance.
- Shen Yixing: Attempts to prove his usefulness but is overwhelmed instantly by Primordial Hall’s hidden power. Qin Luo’s teasing damages his pride, though Qin Luo also promises him access to powerful supplements.
- Star-Seizing Tower: Revealed to be manipulative and elitist. Its leaders intend to use Qin Luo and his Fortune while denying him genuine status or respect.
Significant Themes
- Deception and hidden advantage: Qin Luo’s fake arrow allows him to manipulate powerful factions while appearing to serve them.
- Class and status prejudice: Star-Seizing Tower values Qin Luo only as a Lower Realm tool and refuses to consider him their equal.
- Power beyond comprehension: Primordial Hall is so mysterious and powerful that even Shen Yixing’s divination nearly destroys him.
- Cheating against the unfathomable: Qin Luo cannot match Primordial Hall through normal means, so he relies on the system to obtain an answer instantly.
- Fortune and opportunity: The chapter emphasizes how powerful factions seek to exploit Qin Luo’s luck, while Shen Wanning may have gained a genuine destiny-changing opportunity.
