Chapter Summaries

Zhou Heng drew the Longevity-Cursed Species into a battle while protecting the elves, and Wang Yuliang realized Zhou Heng was waiting for support from the Blue Star Federation. As Wang Yuliang activated his battlefield-wide skills, a missile arrived from the distant sky and dropped a Fifth-Turn Certificate and a skill book to Zhou Heng.

• Zhou Heng received notifications that more elves had escaped pursuit and reached the Blue Star Federation encampment, advancing his Elven Redemption quest.
• A level 100 Longevity-Cursed Species attacked Zhou Heng with lightning, but Zhou Heng stopped the attack using a Small Space-Time Controller.
• Wang Yuliang reasoned that Zhou Heng was waiting for a resource delivery from the Blue Star Federation and decided he could not flee.
• Wang Yuliang activated Fair Field and Unyielding Health, setting units' movement speed and health across a 500-kilometer radius.
• A long-range missile dropped a level 50 Fifth-Turn Certificate and a skill book above Zhou Heng, who moved to collect them.

Zhou Heng used Emperor's Swordlight (Majesty) to devastate Wang Yuliang’s forces and level up to 50, then began his Fifth Turn advancement. Fate Hint led him to consider three seemingly impossible, higher-coefficient achievements tied to the Seventh Chapter.

• Wang Yuliang activated Fair Field, equalizing movement speed and reducing health to 1 while granting revival without a Revival Coin.
• Zhou Heng learned Emperor's Swordlight (Majesty) and unleashed its attack across a 50-kilometer radius, permanently erasing Wang Yuliang’s companions and leaving Wang despairing.
• The swordlight bombardment killed enough monsters for Zhou Heng to advance from level 41 to level 50.
• Zhou Heng used the Fifth-Turn Certificate and received new slaughter achievements plus three higher-coefficient choices involving the elves, the Sakas Empire, and remaking the Seventh Chapter.
• Zhou Heng considered the three difficult achievements from Fate Hint’s perspective, and a Fate Hint appeared.

Zhou Heng sought an audience with the Lord of Rules and used his one request to rewrite the Seventh Chapter, leaving the new chapter set as “Radiance of the Raised Holy Sword: ‘Slay Longevity!’”

• Zhou Heng repeatedly recited Fate Hint Three’s invocation while Wang Yuliang and the Longevity-Cursed Species attacked him, but the Small Time Controller kept their strikes from landing.
• After an hour, Zhou Heng completed the audience ritual and was transported before the Lord of Rules, whose projection granted him one chance to make a request.
• Zhou Heng asked to modify the Sakast Region’s Seventh Chapter, and the rules warned that failure would erase him, Blue Star Federation’s player count would fall by 10%, and 500 years would be severed from the chapter of The Ancient Years.
• Zhou Heng wrote the new title, “Radiance of the Raised Holy Sword: ‘Slay Longevity!’” and the Seventh Chapter was rewritten.
• Zhou Heng gained the “A Brand-New Chapter” achievement, a permanent monster-drop increase, an opportunity to pray to Divine Truth for a special class, and Level 51.

Zhou Heng used the Gift of Truth to rewrite the Seventh Chapter and establish the nation-level faction Light, then obtained the Truth-level class Wind God's Throne and fused it with Starry Sky Shooter of Star Devouring. The chapter ended with Zhou Heng examining his greatly enhanced class and its abilities.

• Zhou Heng reviewed his greatly increased stats and realized he could use the wind within 1,000 kilometers to track and attack enemies.

• Zhou Heng considered adding his currency and Starwind Treasure from Chapter Nine to the faction resources when a fate hint appeared.

Zhou Heng listed Chapter Nine’s Copper and Silver Coins, then swept the Fair Field clear of the Longevity-Cursed Species and wild monsters. As the Longevity-Cursed Species and the Blue Star Federation authorities reacted to his move, he drifted downstream on the Wenhu River, searching for a chance to break the deadlock.

• Zhou Heng listed his Chapter Nine Copper and Silver Coins in the Light faction’s exchange shop and began purging the Fair Field.

• Zhou Heng collected the drops, including an item called “Illusory Life and Death,” then set his Elven Throne drifting downstream along the Wenhu River.

Ailun fled the longevity-cursed species after sending her infant child down the Wenhu River with a crescent hidden beneath his tongue. Zhou Heng learned from Fate that Ailun was Zagumei’s pawn and chose to enter the Fated Black River in her place, leaving Ailun trusting him as he prepared to act.

• Ailun hid the Fated Key beneath her infant’s tongue, sent him down the Wenhu River, and ran upstream to draw the longevity-cursed species away.
• Three members of the longevity-cursed species tracked Ailun, while Blue Star Federation players followed them and arrived near Zhou Heng.

• Zhou Heng used his 127.247 million attack to seal Ailun, then learned from Fate Hint that he had 52 seconds to get Phantom Light · Elven Throne from Zagumei and reach the Fated Black River.
• Three Longevity-Cursed Species tried to alert their superiors, and Blue Star Federation players engaged them in battle.
• Zagumei discovered that Ailun trusted her instead of resenting her, so she could not activate Phantom Light · Elven Throne with Ailun's despair.
• Zhou Heng arrived on the Elven Throne and demanded the artifact from Zagumei, while a long-haired young man noticed them and began attacking through the forest.
• Zagumei dodged an enormous timber strike as Zhou Heng lifted her into the air, and Fate Hint showed that 25 seconds remained.

Zhou Heng used the Phantom Light · Elven Throne to enter the Fated Black River just as the Wood Element creatures were about to kill him. After Zhou Ming reported his escape to Beno Saqiesi, Beno ordered Zhou Ming to pursue Zhou Heng and kill him with the Wailing Heart of Misfortune.

• Zagumei recognized Zhou Heng's abilities as those of the Elven King's Wind God's Throne and gave him the Phantom Light · Elven Throne, pleading with him to save the Elf Race.
• Zhou Heng appraised the artifact and realized the countdown's end was the moment to use it to enter the Fated Black River.

• Zhou Ming reported Zhou Heng's level, suspected luck-related talent, and successful entry to Outer Ring Peak, where Beno Saqiesi read the message.

Zhou Heng faced Zhou Ming in a one-on-one battle, and the reversal of Zhou Ming’s luck-based attack let Zhou Heng copy his Silver Attack attribute. Zhou Heng killed Zhou Ming in a single, windup-free strike, while the chapter left Zhou Ming dead and Zhou Heng victorious.

• Zhou Heng and Zhou Ming met on opposite sides of the Faint Blacklight Path as their one-chance battle began.

Zhou Heng used his spatial authority to survey the Seventh Chapter and saw the devastation of the inner ring, where people sacrificed themselves to protect a spiral stairway leading into the clouds. After Fate Hint revealed a chance to recover his Chapter Nine currency and seize two useful items from Beno Saqiesi, he decided to infiltrate Ring Mountain Province.

• Zhou Heng surveyed the Sakas Empire and saw Blue Star Federation forces battling the Longevity-Cursed Species across the outer and middle rings, while Ring Mountain Province remained hidden from view.

Zhou Heng followed fate’s guidance into Beno Saqiesi’s villa on Ring Mountain Peak and uncovered a hidden passage leading to a mysterious gate. Beno abandoned his confrontation with Zhou Zhenmin to rush back, while Zhou Zhenmin suspected Zhou Heng was behind the intrusion and prepared to report his discoveries about the Great Copper of the World quest.

• Zhou Heng opened a spatial passage to Ring Mountain Peak and entered Beno Saqiesi’s villa after fate guided him there.
• Zhou Zhenmin reasoned that Beno’s frantic effort to collect Chapter Nine currency and the currency’s inability to merge with theirs pointed to a larger plan involving the Great Copper of the World quest.

He returned to the Control Room, where the black life-form revealed the Fated Crystal and Zhou Heng received temporary authority to salvage from the ages of the Sakast Region.

• Zhou Heng returned to the Control Room, where the black life-form showed him the Fated Crystal as an ink-black eye began staining and drawing it away.
• Zhou Heng obtained temporary authority called Sakast's Salvage of the Ages, which let him salvage from the ages of the Sakast Region for ten seconds.

Zhou Heng followed Fate Hint Three to use Sakast’s temporary time-salvage authority, survey the Years Scroll, and reach into its ninth portion with the Sakast Imperial Sword.
