• At age 60, Golden Talent: Future Letter activated, and the protagonist opened the Fourth Future Letter to find several blood-written words that were not revealed.

Chen Fan learned that a new Chat Group member might arrive in twenty years, allowing Wang Hao to attack him under his agreement with Zero. After discussing the contract with Zero, Chen Fan decided to seek the big shot’s protection and continued his cultivation, reaching new breakthrough levels by age 61.

• Chen Fan learned from the Fourth Future Letter that Wang Hao could attack him when a new Chat Group member joined, and he began seeking a powerful being’s protection.

As you attempted to break through to the Qi Refining Limit-Breaking Forty-Thousandth Layer, Heaven and Earth’s assimilation nearly shattered your True Spirit and rank. The big shot intervened with a multicolored potion, leaving its effects to take hold as the chapter ended.

• You waited to activate Golden Talent: Investment until after the big shot helped you break through, hoping to secure his aid against Wang Hao’s pursuit ten years later.
• In Year 62, you asked Wu Yong to tell the big shot about your imminent breakthrough, and the big shot arrived at the Supreme True Realm to protect you.
• You devoured eight Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lords and accumulated Experience Points, reaching the Qi Refining Limit-Breaking Forty-Thousandth Layer and Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking Nine-Thousandth Layer.
• Heaven and Earth’s assimilation surged to eighty percent, threatening to shatter your True Spirit, before the big shot’s Era of Equality ability revealed your status and debuffs as an online-game interface.
• As assimilation reached ninety percent and began attacking your rank, the big shot dropped a multicolored potion bottle onto you; it shattered into garbled code, and its effects began working.

After using the Purification Potion, the protagonist recovered from the dangerous assimilation into heaven and earth and glimpsed secrets linking fruit positions to life-bound divine abilities. He survived the forty-thousandth-layer breakthrough and returned to normal reality, but the big shot who helped him had already disappeared.

• The Purification Potion reduced the protagonist’s assimilation level and restored his consciousness, bringing him out of immediate danger.
• The protagonist examined the gaps in heaven and earth and realized they corresponded to vacant fruit positions, including eight consumed during his breakthrough.
• With his clearer perspective, the protagonist saw life-bound divine abilities reflected on the surfaces of fruit positions and wondered whether they were being sealed there.

• The protagonist went to thank the big shot and discuss the death trap awaiting him in ten years, but discovered the big shot had vanished.

Zero confronted the big shot to learn why it had made a deal with Chen Fan, but their battle ended in a stalemate. Zero then revealed that Chen Fan possessed the Golden Talent [The Only Player], making the big shot pause as it prepared to leave.

• Zero summoned the big shot and demanded to know its purpose in making a deal with Chen Fan, but the big shot refused to explain.
• Zero used [Narrative] to launch an attack, and the big shot transformed reality into an online game with [Era of Equality].
• Chen Fan sensed the upheaval, suspected Zero was investigating the deal, and wondered whether Zero already knew the big shot’s true purpose.
• Zero and the big shot fought with their Golden Finger abilities and Mods, but neither could gain the upper hand.
• The big shot ended the battle and tried to leave, but Zero stopped it by revealing Chen Fan’s [Golden Talent: The Only Player].

Zero confronted the mist-shrouded big shot and uncovered that he wanted Chen Fan’s [Purple Talent: Equivalent Exchange] to test whether [Era of Equality] shared a source with [Golden Talent: The Only Player]. The big shot admitted he had broken the rules to meet Chen Fan, then explained his friendly approach with a startling confession: he was afraid of him.

• The big shot questioned Zero’s claim that he was afraid, while Zero challenged whether Chen Fan would ever hand over [Golden Talent: The Only Player].
• Zero deduced that the big shot wanted [Purple Talent: Equivalent Exchange] to test whether [Era of Equality] could affect it and thereby reveal whether the two abilities shared a source.
• The big shot admitted that he had become interested in Chen Fan after learning about him from Wu Yong and noticing the similarity between their abilities.
• The big shot confessed that he had broken the rules to verify the connection and meet Chen Fan.
• Zero asked why the big shot chose to befriend Chen Fan instead of coercing him, and the big shot answered that he was afraid of him.

Zero questioned why the mist-shrouded figure feared Chen Fan, who explained that an echo of a sword cry and the origins of their Golden Finger, [Era of Equality], had convinced them Chen Fan was far more dangerous than he appeared. The discussion ended with the revelation that the ability had belonged to Chen Fan as a talent before the figure obtained it during the [First War of Fate] in the [Primordial Origin World].

• Zero challenged the figure’s fear of Chen Fan, and the figure said the sword cry from Chen Fan’s second future simulation had revealed overwhelming power beyond a Golden Finger.
• The figure connected the sword cry to an ability used by another [Otherworldly Demon] in their second great battle, which had summoned a fraction of its power.
• Zero rejected the idea that the sword cry came from Chen Fan’s future and declared that future Chen Fan would surpass even the Dao Gods and higher-dimensional beings.
• The figure suspected Zero came from the [Dao Child Era] or the future, but Zero declined to answer and pressed them to explain their fear.
• The figure revealed that [Era of Equality] was not innate but had been acquired during the [First War of Fate] in the [Primordial Origin World], where its original owner was Chen Fan.

After reaching the qi refining limit-breaking forty-thousandth layer, you struggled to make further progress while aiming to reach the foundation establishment limit-breaking forty-thousandth layer and discuss the coming death trap with the big shot. An eight-ring intelligence revealed Wang Hao had foreseen a future Chat Group mission, and Zero warned that Wang Hao was far too powerful to kill.

• You tested the power of the qi refining limit-breaking forty-thousandth layer and concluded that ordinary cultivation could not advance beyond Nascent Soul True Lord, making the limit-breaking path necessary.
• At age 63, you advanced qi refining limit-breaking by only two hundred layers and foundation establishment limit-breaking to the thirty-nine-thousand-five-hundredth layer, while Zero refused to explain his dealings with the big shot.
• At age 64, you reached foundation establishment limit-breaking thirty-nine-thousand-eight-hundredth layer and qi refining limit-breaking forty-thousand-five-hundredth layer, still short of the foundation establishment breakthrough you needed.
• Your golden talent: Listening revealed that Wang Hao had foreseen a new Otherworldly Demon joining the Chat Group in year seventy and triggering a group mission, then signed an agreement with Zero based on that knowledge.
• Zero said Wang Hao was so powerful that killing him was unrealistic, leaving you shocked and wary of your plan to investigate his sliver of vitality in the Primordial World.

At age 65, you broke through to Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking Forty-Thousandth Layer with the mist-shrouded big shot’s help and used a Universal Potion to reduce your assimilation by heaven and earth. Viewing the Supreme True Realm through heaven and earth, you discovered five separate seals and feared that five Dao Gods—and five Dao Children—were involved in a scheme connected to the Sudden Upheaval.

• You asked Wu Yong to summon the big shot to help with your breakthrough, and the big shot arrived at the Supreme True Realm and activated Era of Equality in advance.
• You seized and refined eight Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lords, then spent your accumulated experience to reach Qi Refining Limit-Breaking Forty-Thousand-Seven-Hundredth Layer and Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking Forty-Thousandth Layer.
• Your assimilation by heaven and earth surged toward ninety percent, but the big shot threw you a Universal Potion that reduced it to ten percent and left only a few dozen seconds of assimilation.
• You used that time to view the Supreme True Realm through heaven and earth and found separate seals in five domains: the Central Continent, Western Buddhist Land, Penglai Immortal Island, Myriad Worlds Gate, and Northern Land of Sin.
• You suspected each seal held a Dao God, meaning five Dao Gods and possibly five sealed Dao Children, and wondered whether heaven and earth had caused the Sudden Upheaval.

Chen Fan survived his tribulation and broke through to Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking Forty-Thousandth Layer, then handed his Equivalent Exchange talent to the big shot. He asked the big shot to protect him from Wang Hao ten years later, but the big shot refused unless Chen Fan agreed to a request of its own.

• Chen Fan speculated that Heaven and Earth might have created Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking and used the previous Dao Child as a chess piece, then wondered which Dao Gods’ power the breakthrough had stolen.
• The Universal Potion helped Chen Fan survive Heaven and Earth assimilation, and he reached Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking Forty-Thousandth Layer.
• Chen Fan thanked the big shot and gave it his Purple Talent: Equivalent Exchange; the big shot experimented with the talent and seemed shocked.
• Chen Fan told the big shot that Wang Hao would kill him ten years later because of an agreement involving Wu Yong’s tool, and offered to trade an investment opportunity for protection.
• The big shot refused to protect Chen Fan because Wang Hao was no ordinary figure, but offered to reconsider if Chen Fan agreed to a request.

Chen Fan negotiated with the big shot over giving up [golden talent: The Only Player], demanding protection through two future cultivation tribulations. The big shot agreed, but warned that Wang Hao could enlist Ancient Ones and concluded that Chen Fan himself was the best price for their involvement.

• The big shot asked Chen Fan for [golden talent: The Only Player] and assured him that he was not plotting against him.
• The big shot revealed that he had already discussed the matter with Zero and had long wanted Chen Fan's talent.

• The big shot warned that Wang Hao might bring Ancient Ones into the conflict, making Chen Fan's protection difficult.
• The big shot told Chen Fan that he was the best price for the Ancient Ones to act.

Chen Fan learned that the Limit-Breaking Dao concealed a deadly trap, while the mysterious deity pledged loyalty and offered to stand with him. At age 67, Listening revealed that the path’s creator had laid schemes that would expose Chen Fan to assimilation, a Fruit Position mystery, and the attention of a dangerous being from the Second Era.

• The deity warned Chen Fan that the fifty-thousand-layer Limit-Breaking paths concealed a vast trap and that his Simulator made him a target for the Ancient Ones summoned by Wang Hao.
• The deity said it was demonstrating loyalty because it had no conflict of interest with Chen Fan, then asked for the Golden Talent: The Only Player if Chen Fan survived ten years; Chen Fan accepted the deal.

• Nine Fruit Position True Lords advanced to Mid-Stage True Lord, and Chen Fan devoured them as Fate Demon Dice grew more powerful.
• At age 67, Listening revealed that the Second Era Otherworldly Demon had schemed to make Qi Refining Limit-Breakers face assimilation by true heaven and earth, a profound Fruit Position mystery, and the notice of a dangerous being from the Second Era.

The protagonist investigated the danger behind the qi refining limit-breaking forty-thousandth layer, advanced both limit-breaking paths, and decided to use [Golden Talent: Investment] on the "big shot." The chapter ended as the investment began, with its return still unknown.

• The protagonist suspected that Heaven and Earth and a powerful Second Era Otherworldly Demon had joined forces to assimilate them and set a trap at the qi refining limit-breaking forty-thousandth layer.
• The protagonist refined nine Nascent Soul True Lords, reaching the qi refining limit-breaking forty-one-thousand-three-hundredth layer and the foundation establishment limit-breaking forty-thousand-eight-hundredth layer.
• In Year 67, the protagonist refined nine more Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lords and advanced to the qi refining limit-breaking forty-one-thousand-five-hundredth layer and foundation establishment limit-breaking forty-one-thousandth layer.
• The protagonist asked Zero what they could invest in, hoping to help Zero gain power to act against the death trap ten years later, but Zero offered nothing.
• After considering their Great Daos and fruit positions, the protagonist chose the [heavenly fire] supreme fruit position for investment.
• The protagonist contacted Wu Yong, brought the "big shot" to the [Supreme True Realm], and activated [Golden Talent: Investment] on them.

The narrator received the mystic pole fate-commanding heavenly dao fruit as a hundred-millionfold return on the heavenly fire supreme fruit position. They chose to borrow its power rather than refine it, wary of drawing attention from Heaven and Earth, the Otherworldly Demons, or a greater terror, and saw the former Dao Lord's Past Shadow manifest.

• The narrator invested the heavenly fire supreme fruit position and received the mystic pole fate-commanding heavenly dao fruit.
• The narrator used Eye of True Sight and learned the fruit contained the power of the fallen Dao Lord Mystic Pole Fate-Commanding Heaven.
• The narrator discovered the fruit's rule-commanding power could stack with heavenly fire, potentially multiplying cultivation and battle power enormously.
• The narrator decided not to refine the dao fruit into the Dao Lord's position, fearing the consequences of inheriting its identity and attracting powerful enemies.
• The narrator saw the dao fruit's projection manifest as the Past Shadow of Dao Lord Mystic Pole Fate-Commanding Heaven.

The protagonist used the mystic pole fate-commanding dao fruit to accelerate Heavenly Gate cultivation and expand his ability to seize and rewrite rules, while preparing for Wang Hao's promised attack at age seventy. After receiving a warning in the sixth future letter that he still faced Wang Hao's death trap, he waited for the Chat Group to announce a new member, and its notification began just as he finished devouring fifteen True Lords.

• The protagonist amplified Heavenly Gate cultivators' growth, raising the annual emergence of Mid-Stage True Lords and experimenting with the dao fruit's rule-editing powers.
• At age 68, the protagonist devoured fifteen True Lords and advanced his Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment limit-breaking.
• At age 69, the protagonist spent his experience points and devoured fifteen more True Lords, then warned Wu Yong to prepare for Wang Hao's attack.

• Wang Hao waited outside the Supreme True Realm with Era of Equality active while the protagonist waited for a new Chat Group member to arrive.
• After devouring fifteen more True Lords, the protagonist advanced his cultivation, and the Chat Group system notification opened.

Xu Que joined the Chat Group as a demon from a True Realm, while the big shot confronted three powerful Otherworldly Demons and entered a realm to battle them. After leaving the juniors to settle their own disputes, the big shot was left holding off the three as Wang Hao appeared before Chen Fan, making their fight unavoidable.

• Xu Que joined the Chat Group, asked about its members and Li Ping's death, and wondered whether he was its most pathetic member.
• Wang Hao challenged Chen Fan in the public chat, drawing the attention of powerful beings across the Supreme True Realm.

• The big shot told the juniors to settle their disputes and left Chen Fan to face what came next.
• Wang Hao appeared before Chen Fan and said that a battle between them was unavoidable.

Chen Fan faced Wang Hao’s possibility-anchoring ability and used [Purple Talent: Wish Echo] as his last chance to survive. Wang Hao fled before the summoned power could reach him, but [Purple Talent: I Am the Chess Player] shattered and activated [Sage of Today], carrying Chen Fan into the Higher-Dimensional Land, where Wang Hao’s voice awaited him.

• Wang Hao anchored a future in which Chen Fan died, and Chen Fan delayed that fate with [Mystic Pole Fate-Commanding Dao Fruit] before trying to suppress Wang Hao with [Primordial Chaos Bell].
• With suppression impossible, Chen Fan activated [Purple Talent: Wish Echo] without using [Sage of Today], and Wang Hao revealed he had prepared for the talent’s sword-cry echo.
• Wang Hao fled as Chen Fan activated his trump card, apparently using a Possibility Clone to prevent the summoned existence from affecting his true body.
• [Purple Talent: I Am the Chess Player] shattered and activated [Sage of Today], raising Chen Fan’s vision through a succession of chess games into the Higher-Dimensional Land.
• Wang Hao’s Great Dao’s Voice rang out, saying he had waited a long time for this moment.

Chen Fan's [Sage of Today] overcame Wang Hao's future contingency and summoned Senior Lin Feng from the higher-dimensional past. Lin Feng appeared as the [Higher-Dimensional Land] shattered, leaving Chen Fan certain he would win.

• Wang Hao's anchored future possibility attacked Chen Fan with a gaze powerful enough to threaten the [Higher-Dimensional Land].
• Chen Fan's [purple talent: I Am the Chess Player] gave his [Sage of Today] priority over Wang Hao's Golden Finger ability, forcing the attack to recede.
• Chen Fan combined [Sage of Today] with [purple talent: wish echo] to summon a powerhouse from the past.
• The summoned existence's power froze Wang Hao's possibility and caused the [Higher-Dimensional Land] to shatter.
• Chen Fan recognized the arriving powerhouse as Senior Lin Feng, the [Supreme Dao Immortal Venerable], who appeared waving a feather fan.

Senior Lin Feng’s future self appeared, destroyed Possibility Wang Hao, and restored the Higher-Dimensional Land before returning to reality. He defeated three Otherworldly Demons and instructed the big shot to look after Chen Fan while he watched the battle to its end.

• Senior Lin Feng revealed that he was Chen Fan’s future self, erased Possibility Wang Hao, and restored the Higher-Dimensional Land.
• Senior Lin Feng returned to reality and told Chen Fan he already knew about the Otherworldly Demons and their connection to him.

• Senior Lin Feng refined the Sage, Heaven Equaler, and Ultimate Dao before they could use their Golden Fingers.
• Senior Lin Feng told the big shot, whom he called 001, to take care of Chen Fan while he watched the performance through to the end.

Chen Fan’s Wish Echo summoned Senior Lin Feng, the Supreme Dao Immortal Venerable, to confront Wang Hao. Lin Feng saw through Wang Hao’s apparent surrender and obtained a Contract from Wu Yong, leaving his plan for Wang Hao unresolved.

• Chen Fan’s talents activated Wish Echo and brought Senior Lin Feng before Wang Hao, who called Chen Fan the biggest schemer and accepted defeat.
• Senior Lin Feng refused to treat Wang Hao’s surrender as settling the matter and questioned why he had schemed against his junior.
• Senior Lin Feng deduced that killing Wang Hao would trigger the outcome Wang Hao wanted, as his original body would then make a move.
• Wang Hao acknowledged Lin Feng’s insight but remained silent about his plans.
• Senior Lin Feng obtained a Contract from Wu Yong and told Chen Fan that Wu Yong had offered it willingly.

Senior Lin Feng forced Wang Hao to sign a Contract that barred him from targeting or investigating Chen Fan, then gave Chen Fan help with a future cultivation pitfall before departing. Chen Fan learned from Xu Que and Wu Yong that the Beyond Mythology True Realm judged strength by stories, including stories destined to happen.

• Senior Lin Feng made Wang Hao sign a Contract forbidding him from prying into, scheming against, or investigating Chen Fan.
• Senior Lin Feng took Chen Fan back to the Supreme True Realm and warned him about a pitfall at fifty thousand layers of limit-breaking, then sent a streak of light into Chen Fan's sea of consciousness.
• Senior Lin Feng's future self faded away after Chen Fan said goodbye, leaving Chen Fan relieved that Wang Hao was no longer a threat.
• Chen Fan checked the Chat Group and saw Xu Que claim that Chen Fan was known in his world as True Immortal Changming of End and Beginning Severance.
• Xu Que said that stories destined to happen to Chen Fan and other Chat Group members were rated beyond the highest level in his world.
• Wu Yong explained that the Beyond Mythology True Realm measured strength by the power of one's stories, whether they had already happened or were yet to happen.

Chen Fan learned that the Beyond Mythology True Realm recorded stories and ranked them by strength, then asked Xu Que about the legends surrounding the Chat Group members. He set aside the uncertain prospect of gaining power from those stories and decided to steadily improve his strength.

• Wu Yong explained that the Beyond Mythology True Realm recorded past, present, and future stories and ranked them by strength.
• Wu Yong said his Powerhouse Detector reacted to Chen Fan but not Xu Que, suggesting Xu Que was weaker.
• Xu Que recounted Chen Fan’s legendary deeds, including destroying True Realms, forging the Incomplete Immortal Domain, becoming a True Immortal, and ascending.
• Xu Que shared titles associated with Wang Hao, Wu Yong, and Li Ping, but could not say whether Chen Fan would gain power by entering his True Realm.
• Chen Fan dismissed the uncertain shortcut and decided to focus on developing his strength after resolving his trouble with Wang Hao.

Chen Fan strengthened himself, gave Wu Yong the Golden Talent: The Only Player to secure help with his future tribulation, and learned from Xu Que how stories were ranked in the Beyond Mythology True Realm. An Eight Rings intelligence revealed that Chen Fan himself was the vessel of one of only two Beyond Grade stories with a real vessel, leaving him wary of visiting that realm and meeting his story-made counterpart.

• Chen Fan devoured fifteen Mid-Stage True Lords, reached 45,000 Qi Refining layers and 43,000 Foundation Establishment layers, then gave Wu Yong the Golden Talent: The Only Player.
• Wu Yong promised to help Chen Fan safely weather the great tribulation at 50,000 Limit-Breaking layers.
• Chen Fan learned from Xu Que that stories in the Beyond Mythology True Realm ranged from Ordinary Grade to Beyond Grade, and that the Chat Group members' stories were classified as Beyond Grade.
• At age 72, Chen Fan's Golden Talent: Listening triggered intelligence that every story in the Beyond Mythology Worlds had a vessel, and Chen Fan himself was the vessel of his own story.
• Chen Fan realized he might meet the story-made version of himself if he entered the Beyond Mythology True Realm, and feared that counterpart might try to eliminate him.

The protagonist continued advancing through devouring Mid-Stage True Lords and learned more about the Beyond Mythology True Realm from Wu Yong and Xu Que. As Xu Que’s Snow White story merged into a dangerous dark fairy-tale series, the protagonist suspected he had a powerful backer, possibly one Wang Hao feared to challenge.

• The protagonist learned that Wu Yong’s World-Viewing Machine revealed the protagonist’s story was the highest tier of beyond-grade mythology among the Chat Group members.
• The protagonist reached 46,000 Qi Refining Limit-Breaking layers and 44,000 Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking layers after devouring fifteen Mid-Stage True Lords.
• Xu Que told the protagonist that the Beyond Mythology True Realm contained familiar fairy tales and that powerful beings entered stories to seize their power.
• Xu Que described how an Outer God had corrupted Snow White, where he was caught in a perilous dark fairy tale, and the protagonist sent him qi-refining spellcraft.
• The protagonist learned that the corruption targeted the whole Fairy-Tale Story Series, which was merging into a dark fairy-tale hodgepodge.
• The protagonist suspected Wang Hao had avoided targeting Xu Que because Xu Que had a powerful backer, then advanced to 46,300 Qi Refining and 44,500 Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking layers.

At age 75, Chen Fan learned that the fifty-thousand-layer Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking tribulation would expose him to backlash from a Dao God, Heaven and Earth's full power, and the Dao God's schemes. At age 76, the Fourth Group Mission was announced, and Chen Fan agreed to give Xu Que tools for protection before inspecting the mission details.

• Chen Fan learned that Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking would make him bear the Dao God's backlash and face Heaven and Earth's true assimilation, while the Dao God's schemes would unfold in the great tribulation.
• Chen Fan concluded that the last Dao Child had been a pawn of both Heaven and Earth and the sealed Dao God, and that he was now caught in their conflict.
• Chen Fan devoured fifteen Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lords, reaching 46,500 layers of Qi Refining Limit-Breaking and 45,000 layers of Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking.
• At age 76, Chen Fan devoured another fifteen Nascent Soul Middle Stage True Lords and reached 46,700 and 45,500 layers of Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Limit-Breaking, respectively.
• The Chat Group announced that the Fourth Group Mission would begin in 24 hours, and Xu Que asked Chen Fan for protection; Chen Fan agreed to provide incomplete Dao Artifacts and divine abilities.
• Chen Fan grew more convinced that someone was secretly protecting Xu Que, then opened the group leader's administrative interface to examine the mission.
