Li Wenze and the Star God prepared to trap the Trickster on the Beyond Heaven Battlefield, while Su Wen’s Heart of Battle took shape in the Trading Space.

Su Wen learned from the Battle Master how Wealth Source could enlighten Insect Spirits and transform them into Phantom Beasts. Their discussion of the Eighth Epoch’s God of Wealth left Su Wen suspecting that something beneath its Main Realm had required protection or suppression.

• Su Wen considered using Wealth Source to influence the Remnant Clan and planned to negotiate with the River of Space-Time and the River of Fate.

After Battle Master disappeared, Su Wen studied two centuries of Martial Dao research in the future space-time and found hope in humanity’s emerging geniuses. He left Battle God’s protective barrier and was recognized by researchers as the long-lost Martial God.

• Battle Master vanished after wishing Su Wen happiness and saying he hoped his help would spare him future suffering.

• Su Wen used Forbidden Magic to memorize the latest Martial Dao theories and learned that researchers had advanced Spirit Martial Arts and Martial Dao Secret Medicine.
• Su Wen read Bai Zijun’s theory that divine wills and deities might develop within the organs, and decided humanity should rely on many future geniuses rather than only Divine Mandate Bearers.
• Su Wen memorized two hundred years of Martial Dao research, then stepped out of the barrier and stunned the gathered researchers, who recognized his Martial God’s robes and mask.

Su Wen reunited with the Star God after the Battle God’s clumsy attempt to keep him undisturbed had drawn a crowd to the Martial Dao Database and exposed that the God of Wealth was alive. On the Beyond Heaven Battlefield, Su Wen asked the Star God to help gather 18.8 billion in Wealth Source so he could resurrect the Theater God.

• A white-haired researcher accused Su Wen of impersonating the dead God of Wealth, but the Star God appeared and said the gathered researchers could be trusted with the truth.
• The Star God took Su Wen away, while a researcher shouted that the God of Wealth was alive and the white-haired man ordered an investigation into him as a suspected traitor.
• On the Beyond Heaven Battlefield, Su Wen asked why researchers had been waiting outside the Martial Dao Database, and the Star God explained that the Battle God’s barrier had cleared the nearby departments.
• Su Wen called the Battle God a fool for drawing attention to his seclusion, and the Star God remarked on the Battle God’s individualistic behavior.
• Su Wen told the Star God he could resurrect the Theater God but needed 18.8 billion in Wealth Source, and asked for help collecting it.

The Star God worried that resurrecting the Theater God would drain the Main Space-Time’s resources, but Su Wen explained the River of Space-Time would not charge a crossing fee. The Star God gave Su Wen a protective violet-red crystal and, after Su Wen challenged his claim that it cost little to make, filled the air with thousands of them.

• The Star God asked whether Su Wen would abandon resurrecting the Theater God if the cost threatened the Main Space-Time’s development.
• Su Wen explained that the River of Space-Time had no right to charge for refining Wealth Source during his crossing.
• The Star God warned Su Wen to protect himself from the Battle God and sent a violet-red crystal into his mind as a safeguard.
• Su Wen confirmed he could take items back to his space-time and said he had asked the Star God to collect scientific and technological information for Huaxia.
• After Su Wen questioned whether making the crystal had strained him, the Star God produced several thousand more and asked whether Su Wen was under too much pressure.

Su Wen prepared to revive the Theater God while the Star God and Battle God coordinated a plan to counter their enemies. The Trickster remained trapped in battle, and Luobao appeared with a greeting from the River of Fate.

• The Star God encouraged Su Wen by recalling how the various Sub-Space-Times had grown stronger and invited him to witness the Theater God's rite.
• The Trickster, surrounded by the Battle God and twelve True God puppets, called for help as his escape attempts failed.
• The Trickster changed course to lure the Battle God toward the outskirts of the Beyond Heaven Battlefield, but the Battle God recognized the plan and agreed with the Star God to play along.
• The Star God gave Su Wen a spatial bracelet holding currencies from allied races and asked him to consult the River of Space-Time about reviving the Theater God discreetly.
• Luobao appeared before Su Wen and said the River of Fate had asked him to give the God of Wealth its regards.

Su Wen learned that the River of Fate had secretly established a presence in the Sub-Space-Time and could now trade with him near the Star God. The River of Fate offered to resurrect the Theater God for two billion Wealth Source, including an upgrade that would make him a near-True God, while Su Wen considered bringing the two rivers to an agreement.

• Luobao appeared and told Su Wen that the River of Fate had established a presence by borrowing a wisp of the Star God's power, allowing Su Wen to use Money Breaks Yin and Yang near the Star God.
• Luobao suggested that Su Wen use his large Wealth Source order to persuade the River of Fate and the River of Space-Time to cooperate.
• The River of Fate contacted Su Wen and quoted 1.88 billion Wealth Source to resurrect the Theater God, or two billion for a discreet resurrection package.
• The River of Fate offered to make the resurrected Theater God a powerhouse who had completed his ascension ritual and knocked on the gates of True God for an extra 100 million Wealth Source.
• Su Wen noticed that the River of Fate's message sounded much like the River of Space-Time's sales pitch.

Su Wen paid the River of Fate to resurrect the Theater God, but the River of Space-Time arrived and drove its rival's power away. The Theater God returned as a True God, and Su Wen began asking the Star God about the future death of his counterpart.

• Su Wen paid 2.1 billion units of Wealth Source for the River of Fate to resurrect the Theater God and conceal the resulting upheaval.
• The River of Space-Time interrupted the River of Fate's messages, leaving Su Wen unable to contact it and prompting the Narrator to scold him for accepting a scam.
• The Theater God awakened at the True God rank and asked the Star God whether the God of Wealth in their space-time had died.
• The Star God explained that a gray devouring force beyond a True God's power had killed the God of Wealth on the battlefield beyond the heavens.
• Su Wen asked how the force had appeared and what his future self had endured, revealing that no one had told him the details of his death.

Su Wen learned that the Remnant Clan had killed this space-time’s God of Wealth by sending a costly devouring power during his attempted ascension to True Godhood. He saw the death as progress in confronting their ultimate enemy, while the Star God and Theater God recalled the fallen God of Wealth’s fearless outlook; the Theater God’s return was interrupted by the Battle God’s questions.

• The Star God explained how the Remnant Clan used a devouring power to kill the God of Wealth during his ascension to True Godhood.
• The Theater God reasoned that the Remnant Clan must have paid a heavy price and questioned why they had waited so long to strike.

At the battlefield’s edge, the Battle God sensed someone approaching and gouged out the Trickster’s eye as he challenged him to a direct fight.

• The Battle God appeared as an avatar, noticed the Theater God had returned, and vanished when the Theater God threatened to teach him about death.

• The Battle God destroyed the Trickster’s true body and surrounded his fleeing clones with Battle Avatars.
• A man in white appeared, reclaimed the Trickster, and froze the surrounding void while taunting the Battle God for being a Demigod.
• The man in white challenged the Star God to reveal himself, and the Star God arrived with the Wind God, Shadow God, God of Fate, God of Freedom, God of Zealotry, and other Divine Mandate Bearers.
• The man in white summoned fifteen powerful True Gods, including twelve from the Theater God Legion, and the Star God recognized them as traitors.
• The man in white declared that his seventeen allies were enough to defeat the Divine Mandate Bearers and promised them a twilight song of the gods’ fall.

• Su Wen and the Theater God agreed to watch for hidden traitors and wondered whether the Heaven God Legion had been unfairly suspected by the Eighth Epoch’s Shadow God.

• The Star God accepted Mo Qingrou and Shangguan Ruo’s gift, sealed it, and warned that the Theater God Legion’s betrayal would be difficult to prove while the Heaven God Legion remained under suspicion.
• Ye Guanzhi revealed that the Theater God had fallen and claimed the Ninth Epoch’s divine positions could no longer suppress the rebels.

• The Star God asked the True Gods to join him, and Su Xia, commander of the Star God Legion’s Seventh Legion, crossed over to his side.
• A bronze-bell sound rang out, and the Theater God appeared, asking whether the Star God could withstand him.

The Theater God reappeared and killed the Trickster by suppressing him with his divine position, then joined the battle against the traitors. The Star God and Mo Xiao Su used fifteen True God puppets to sever the traitors’ escape route to the Main Realm.

• The Theater God attacked and annihilated the Trickster, then stopped the heavens’ mourning phenomena by declaring him a traitor.
• The Theater God, Star God, Battle God, Wind God, and Li Wenze engaged the traitors as Ye Guanzhi confronted the Theater God and Star God.
• The Star God withdrew the starlight across the battlefield, allowing Mo Xiao Su to claim the darkness as her shadow domain.
• Mo Xiao Su positioned fifteen True God puppets around Ye Guanzhi’s apparatus, and the Star God detonated them.
• The puppets’ explosions dispersed the spatial passage linking the Frontier Battlefield and the Main Realm, cutting off the traitors’ escape route.

Su Wen revealed the Battle God War Banner, and its aura awakened the First Epoch Battle God's surviving subordinates across the realms. They gathered at the boundary between the Domain Battlefield and the Main Realm, believing their Excellency had returned and needed their help.

• The Star God suspected Ye Guanzhi was hiding a trump card and coordinated with the Battle God to prepare for possible developments.
• Su Wen summoned the Battle God War Banner, spreading the First Epoch Battle God's aura across space and time.
• An elderly swordsman in the Domain Battlefield sensed the banner, regained his youthful form, and unleashed a devastating attack on nearby Remnant Clan units.
• An old woman in the Battle God Legion sensed the aura, regained her beauty, and left her secluded home.
• Survivors of the First Epoch Battle God gathered near the Main Realm, and Rui urged them to sneak through the restriction to rescue their Excellency.

Gu led a group of ancient ancestors and legion commanders to the Theater God Legion to open a secret passage to the Main Realm, where they intended to find the returned Battle God. The Theater God Legion’s commander-in-chief was bound and taken along, while the group sensed something was seriously wrong within the legion.

• Gu explained that the group would travel through a secret passage using avatars so their true bodies could keep guarding the Frontier Battlefield.
• The Star God and Battle God Legion commanders summoned the other legion commanders, and the ancestors led everyone toward the Theater God Legion.
• Mo Qingrou and Shangguan Ruo hoped the ancestors would witness the Theater God Legion’s conduct at the Beyond Heaven Battlefield and expose Ye Guanzhi.

• Gu bound the commander-in-chief with chains of rules and led the group to the passage, where they sensed a serious problem within the Theater God Legion.

Gu and Rui discovered signs that the Theater God Legion had been contaminated and that its commander had betrayed the universe. After learning that Ye Guanzhi and his forces were attacking the Ninth Epoch’s Divine Mandate Bearers, Gu began repairing the secret passage so the ancestors could respond.

• A powerful ancestor noticed traces of Remnant Clan spellcasting at the Theater God Legion’s headquarters, and the Shadow God Legion’s commander explained the legion’s research and contamination screenings.
• Rui incapacitated the four True God guards at the secret passage, then sensed that the Theater God Legion had been contaminated while its commander was absent.
• The imposing ancestor angrily silenced the Shadow God Legion’s commander for making excuses, and Gu identified a disturbance in the secret passage’s stabilizing formation.
• Mo Qingrou told Rui and Gu that Ye Guanzhi and more than a dozen True Gods had betrayed the universe and were attacking the Ninth Epoch’s Divine Mandate Bearers.
• Gu ordered Chen, Xu, and Zi to form the Three Talents Divine Formation and channel its power to him so he could repair the secret passage within one minute.

The Remnant Clan and the Frontier Battlefield prepared for another major clash as four sets of rules resonated across the universe. On the Beyond Heaven Battlefield, Su Wen’s military flag failed to summon the Battle God Legion, and he turned to gathering resources while hoping the fighters could withstand the Theater God Legion’s betrayal.

• Gu’s three named venerable seniors unleashed their power, setting off alarms across both sides of the battlefield and signaling preparations for a major war.

• Su Wen judged the Theater God Legion to be compromised and reflected that, unlike the old man Theater God, he faced betrayal from nearly everyone under the God of Wealth and from the demigod races.
• Su Wen watched the battle and hoped the defenders could overcome the traitors, then entered the Star God’s resource repositories to harvest Wealth Source.

The returned gods confronted their legion commanders over the legions’ failures and the Main Realm’s infiltration while Su Wen refined resources in reserve vault No. 18. The Star God brought a group of visitors to see Su Wen, interrupting his plans to grow stronger and prepare for the aftermath of the battle.
