After the Generalized Relatively Infinite Backpack could not be upgraded further, Zhou Heng burned down Gale Free City and uncovered an entrance to the technological secret realm Legacy of Power.

• Zhou Heng directed Bose’er to leave Gale Free City and turn east within 0.3 seconds; sensing the enemy’s Epic Divine Ability, Bose’er obeyed and leaped into the darkness beyond the Path of Light.

Zhou Heng used Fate Hint to activate a Time and Space Tourism route while fleeing Red-Lipped Su Mo'er, who pursued him into the gate of light. He briefly escaped her by reversing course through the gate, but Su Mo'er used an Epic Divine Ability to return to his chapter, and the danger remained.

Li Rang protected Zhou Heng from Red-Lipped Su Mo'er, allowing Zhou Heng and Bose'er to escape the Bright Ruins. Zhou Heng’s faction announcements then revealed he had erased nearly a million Longevity Family players, though the contribution rankings still listed his faction as Sakas Empire, and he headed toward the Faction War battlefield.

Zhou Heng discovered that a hidden force in Radiant City was destroying Lifespan Crystals and killing anyone who handled them. After Fate directed him southwest, he caught Yang Kai fleeing and demanded that he reveal everything he knew.

• Talisa recognized Zhou Heng and tried to give him a Lifespan Crystal, but deep green flames burned her to ash before her Revival Coins appeared.

• Zhou Heng grabbed Yang Kai and gave him ten minutes to explain everything he knew.

Zhou Heng learned that the Longevity Family had placed Blood Lifespan Magic Arrays across the Vast Star Nation and discovered that Fate offered him a chance to destroy twelve of them. After calculating that his Dragon Bow could destroy an array in seconds, he began attacking the one in Radiant City.

• Yang Kai told Zhou Heng that Blood Lifespan Magic Arrays stood in every tier-three city and in Kasasi, and that Lifespan Crystals concealed the risk of losing the chance to reach Legendary tier.
• Zhou Heng brought Yang Kai to Radiant City, where the city’s residents welcomed him, then inspected the Blood Lifespan Magic Array beside the City Lord’s Manor.
• Fate warned Zhou Heng that the Vast Star Nation’s defeat was inevitable and offered him a choice between fleeing or destroying twelve arrays across Kasa Province.
• Zhou Heng calculated that Will of the Starry Sky Dragon and the Dragon Bow could deal 2,259,500 damage per second, enough to destroy an array in five seconds.
• Zhou Heng activated Will of the Starry Sky Dragon, equipped the Dragon Bow, aimed at the array’s core, and began firing.

Zhou Heng destroyed Blood Lifespan Magic Arrays in three cities while racing toward Kasasi City, and Su Ming decided to confront him personally. Fate Hint warned Zhou Heng that Su Ming would attack, setting up a showdown twelve hours later.

• Zhou Heng destroyed Radiant City's Blood Lifespan Magic Array, obtained the Calamity of Longevity, and set a course for Water Lake City.

• Zhou Heng repeated the feat in Maple Forest City and continued toward Kasasi City, expecting Su Ming to await him there.
