• The Star God arrived at the Martial Dao Research Institute and discussed its Martial Dao research with Su Wen.
• The Star God explained the Descenders’ body-taking, the Remnant Clan’s role in the Wind God’s fall, and the Heavenly Net System.
• Su Wen reasoned that the Will of the Universe may have empowered each epoch’s Incumbent True God to confront aging universes.
• Su Wen recalled Jiu Ying saying that nine universes had surrounded their newborn universe during the final decisive battle.
• The Star God questioned how a ninth universe could exist if Baili Chaoge had destroyed one in the fifth epoch, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Su Wen and the Star God feared that multiple aging universes might attack the Divine Fate Universe during its final epoch. Su Wen learned that enough Wealth Source could let him revive the other eight Incumbent True Gods, but the Rivers of Space-Time and Fate had not revealed the full price.

• Su Wen and the Star God considered whether Jiu Ying's nine enemy universes included their own and worried that aging universes might unite against the Divine Fate Universe.
• The Star God warned that the Remnant Clan Universe could be holding them in place while other universes tested them before attacking together.
• Su Wen asked the River of Space-Time whether the nine Incumbent True Gods could gather, and it said Wealth Source could make that possible.
• Su Wen consulted the River of Fate, which offered to revive the other eight Incumbent True Gods for one hundred trillion Wealth Source less than the River of Space-Time's price.
• Su Wen realized the revival cost was likely enormous and sighed over how much money his plans would require.

Su Wen discussed the cost of using Wealth Source in Sub-Space-Times with the Star God, then asked the River of Space-Time to separate Main Space-Time and Sub-Space-Time Wealth Source. The River agreed for free but imposed limits and offered a costly exchange rate, while the River of Fate warned Su Wen not to make the exchange.

Su Wen and the Star God discussed reviving the former Incumbent True Gods and raising the money, then news spread that a Descender had stolen the God of Wealth’s body and escaped into the Remnant Clan Universe. The Star God declared that they would enter the Remnant Clan’s heartland to hunt the Descender, while the Theater God urged war.

• Su Wen agreed with the Star God’s suggestion to prioritize reviving the Current Battle God or Baili Chaoge and learned that the Battle God had grown through grief and pain.

• The Star God told the high priest that they would enter the Remnant Clan’s heartland to hunt down the Descender.

The Divine Fate Universe demanded the death of the descender who possessed the God of Wealth’s corpse, while the Remnant Clan debated its role and the Descender Universe assessed the incident. The crowned man ended by asking what to do about the Immortal Clan’s Grand Elder accusing them of breaking their agreement.

• The Star God rejected the high priest’s terms and demanded that the descender be captured, tried publicly, and executed, warning that refusal could lead to war.
• The high priest returned to the Remnant Clan council, where the Lord of the Remnant Clan argued that the Divine Fate Universe’s anger over its fallen leader’s corpse was understandable.
• The Descender Universe’s leaders discussed how someone had possessed the God of Wealth’s corpse while evading the Star God’s safeguards.
• The purple-haired youth said the incident could damage the Star God’s prestige, while the crowned man argued that the Star God’s followers trusted his personal charisma.
• The crowned man said the Immortal Clan’s Grand Elder had accused them of breaking their agreement and asked the council how to respond.

The Star God and his allies turned the seized God of Wealth’s body into an opportunity to strengthen their positions, while the Descender Universe chose a new Immortal Clan partner. The Star God then resolved to attack every Remnant Clan leader involved in Little Wind’s death, not just the Grand Elder.

• The Descender Universe concluded that its Kui King had seized the God of Wealth’s corpse and decided to replace the resource-hungry Immortal Clan Grand Elder with another ally.
• The Theater God pressured the High Priest while the Battle God was secretly entering the Remnant Clan Universe to hunt the God of Wealth.
• The Star God agreed to the High Priest’s proposal to preserve peaceful relations and requested a map.
• After the High Priest left, the Star God explained that the incident benefited all three sides by boosting the Descender Universe’s morale, providing the Remnant Clan leverage and compensation, and advancing his own plans.
• The Star God rejected limiting their target to the Grand Elder’s territory and vowed to crush every Remnant Clan leader who had participated in Little Wind’s death.

Su Wen and the Battle God prepared to raid the Remnant Clan Grand Elder’s territory, using a map the Star God had received from the High Priest. They set out with plans to seize what they could, though Su Wen warned that the map might be false and the Battle God feared being left alone across time.

• The Battle God explained that the supposed pursuit of the God of Wealth had been a coordinated deception using clones, and that the Sub-Space-Time God of Wealth had reached the God King Realm.
• The Battle God showed Su Wen a map of the Remnant Clan Grand Elder’s territory, and Su Wen noticed it differed greatly from the layout in the previous Sub-Space-Time.
• Su Wen proposed that the Battle God draw out the enemy while he refined and seized resources, then arrange the Battle God’s fake death if necessary.
• Su Wen asked who had supplied the map, and the Battle God said the High Priest had given it to the Star God; Su Wen cautioned that it might be fake but promised to protect the Battle God with a hidden buff.
• The Battle God chose to trust the Star God, announced he would scout the territory, and darkened his face with power as he prepared to depart.

The Remnant Clan Grand Elder learned that the Battle God was pursuing the God of Wealth through Remnant Clan territory and tried to intervene. The High Priest blocked him, and the Grand Elder suspected he had struck a deal with the Divine Fate Universe’s Star God to betray him.

• A Remnant Clan True King reported that the God of Wealth had entered their territory, and the Grand Elder first welcomed the news before discovering the Battle God was attacking him.
• The Grand Elder summoned the True Kings and watched the pursuit with the elders, who debated why the Battle God had not defeated the God of Wealth.
• The Seventh Elder pointed out that the Battle God and the God of Wealth had left little intact or valuable behind them.
• The High Priest confronted the Grand Elder and argued against helping the Descender, preventing him from acting while the battle continued.
• The Grand Elder realized his subordinates were not following his orders and accused the High Priest of making a deal with the Star God to sell him out.

The Remnant Clan Grand Elder negotiated with the Descender Universe over the God of Wealth, while the High Priest advised him to take their resources without handing over the God of Wealth. The Battle God continued his disguise, and Su Wen learned that a batch of high-specification resources was on its way.

• The Remnant Clan Grand Elder arranged a staged pursuit of the God of Wealth and sent the Descender Universe an edited projection showing his forces trying to protect him.
• The Descender Universe offered 3,700 kinds of high-specification resources if the Remnant Clan could send over the God of Wealth.
• The High Priest warned the Grand Elder that handing over the God of Wealth would provoke the Divine Mandate Bearer Universe, then urged him to accept the resources without fulfilling that condition.
• The Grand Elder agreed to try the deal and asked the High Priest to share future profits if the Descender Universe switched trading partners.
• The Battle God continued posing as the God of Wealth, and his original body told Su Wen that the Descender Universe had reached an agreement with the Grand Elder and was sending resources.

Su Wen and the Battle God prepared to exploit the Remnant Clan’s defenses and resources while the Battle God waited for the Grand Elder to enter the fight. The Battle God fought the Grand Elder and High Priest, while Su Wen slipped into the Elder Temple to find a resource stockpile.

• Su Wen learned that the Star God had cultivated contacts among the Descenders and agreed with the Battle God to decide their own robbery plan.
• Su Wen told the Battle God to destroy the Remnant Clan’s defensive systems during the fighting so they could study how the defenses were rebuilt.
• The Battle God ambushed the Remnant Clan Grand Elder when he intervened, then beat him back while pretending to suffer cultivation deviation.
• The Grand Elder negotiated a share of the resources with the High Priest, who joined the fight, but the Battle God continued focusing his attacks on the Grand Elder.
• Su Wen used the River of Fate’s protection to bypass the Elder Temple’s defenses and follow the map to a resource stockpile.

Su Wen secretly looted the Remnant Clan Elder Temple while the battle raged outside, weighing the River of Fate’s intentions and exploiting its protection. The chapter ended with him taking the Descender Universe’s newly delivered high-grade resources right beside the Grand Elder’s throne.

• Su Wen used the River of Fate’s protection to search the Elder Temple’s hidden stores and remove their resources without being detected.
• The River of Fate warned Su Wen that Sub-Space-Time Wealth Source was worth little toward resurrecting the Current Battle God and hinted this might be its final opening of a Sub-Space-Time.
• Su Wen suspected the River of Fate had its own motives but continued looting while the Remnant Clan elders investigated the missing supplies.
• Su Wen disguised his thefts as insider embezzlement, damaged the Temple’s accounting formations, and disrupted space-time to frustrate later investigations.
• The Descender Universe’s high-grade resources appeared beside the Remnant Clan Grand Elder’s throne, and Su Wen took the entire batch in front of several elders’ divine senses.

The Remnant Clan Grand Elder concluded that the High Priest had stolen the high-grade resources and decided to retaliate rather than confront him directly. He proposed luring the Battle God to the border of their territories, while remaining suspicious of the High Priest’s motives.

• The Remnant Clan elders discovered that the high-grade resources had vanished from the Elders' Hall and blamed the Descenders for a scheme.
• The Descenders sent evidence showing how the resources had been allocated, and the Grand Elder decided the High Priest was responsible for stealing them.
• The Grand Elder resolved to act against the High Priest, reasoning that the man might target him next and would deny any accusation.
• The Grand Elder told the High Priest to lure the Battle God toward the border of their territories so the High Priest’s forces could delay him while the Grand Elder activated his defenses.
• The High Priest agreed, then demanded seventy percent of the resources as compensation; the Grand Elder accepted and ordered him to follow his lead.

Su Wen exploited the Battle God’s diversion to raid resource sites in the Remnant Clan High Priest’s territory, while the Star God prepared to help the God of Wealth revive the Current Battle God and led the Theater God and Shadow God toward the Descender Universe. Li Wenze was ordered to take over as general chief, but planned to send an avatar while continuing his search for the God of Sleep.

• The Battle God warned Su Wen that the Remnant Clan Grand Elder and High Priest had changed tactics, and Su Wen told him to keep them occupied after changing locations.
• Su Wen entered the High Priest’s territory, using the Star God’s knowledge of the region to locate its resources and stockpiles.
• The Star God concluded that the God of Wealth had intercepted resources and said they should help him gather enough Wealth Source to revive the Current Battle God.
• The Star God gave the Shadow God a defensive device against Descender soul bodies, then departed with the Theater God and Shadow God for the Descender Universe.
• The Star God ordered Li Wenze to take over as general chief, so Li Wenze planned to send his true body while his fate avatars continued searching for the God of Sleep.

Six months after the Divine Fate Universe pushed the battlefield into the aging Descender Universe, Su Wen and the Theater God prepared to negotiate with a Descender diplomatic team for more resources. The Star God volunteered to handle the talks and suggested they could demand the Descender Universe's Will as an energy source.

• The Divine Fate Universe drove the battlefield into the Descender Universe, then agreed to retreat part of the way while keeping the front line on Descender territory.
• The Lord of the Remnant Clan ordered the Grand Elder and High Priest to stop attacking the Battle God and to cooperate with him if needed.
• Su Wen finished plundering resources from the Remnant Clan Universe, and four leaders sealed the God of Wealth's corpse and handed it to the Battle God.
• The Descender Universe sent a diplomatic team to negotiate, chiefly hoping to reach an agreement with the Theater God.
• Su Wen said he needed three times the Wealth Sources the Theater God had demanded previously, while the Star God offered to negotiate and proposed trading for the Will of the Universe's power.

The Star God discussed how the Divine Fate Universe could extract resources from the Descender Universe, explaining that negotiations and agreements could be manipulated to serve their interests. He sent the Theater God with him to meet the delegation while authorizing the Shadow God to exploit occupied worlds as leverage.

• Su Wen questioned whether the aging Descender Universe could afford to hand over the resources they sought, and the Star God said they would force it to comply or seek help from the Will of the Universe through the Heaven God.
• The Star God told Su Wen to stay behind and took the Theater God to the negotiations, advising him to care less about appearances and promises.
• The Star God explained that they could break agreements, make partial concessions, and use the resulting gap in expectations to strengthen their bargaining position.
• The Star God said that if the Descender Universe refused to negotiate, they could drain resources and life auras from occupied worlds, forcing it to bargain later.
• The Shadow God asked to deploy the Shadow Legion during the peace talks, and the Star God approved, adding that they could even let the Descender Universe learn about the operation.

The Star God took charge of peace talks with the Descender Universe, whose delegation had come hoping to buy the withdrawal of Divine Fate Universe forces. He rejected their opening offer and declared that the conquered territory belonged to his side, leaving the negotiations at an impasse.

• The Theater God welcomed the Descender Universe delegation and told the Zither Saint that a powerful figure would join the talks.
• The Zither Saint and his delegation were shocked to find the Star God presiding over the peace talks.
• The Star God offered to withdraw and return occupied star gates and front lines in exchange for a price.
• The Zither Saint offered sixty percent of the supplies his side had prepared, but the Star God rejected the amount as insufficient.
• The Star God declared that the conquered territory now belonged to the Divine Fate Universe and asked whether the Descenders objected.

The Star God demanded a massive payment from the Descender Universe for peace, using detailed records of its support for the Remnant Clan to expose the Zither Saint’s claims that it could not pay more. After the Star God left, the Theater God negotiated a larger cut for himself and planned to bring Xiao Ying to the next talks.

• The Theater God urged the Star God to stay and secretly negotiated a five percent commission with the Zither Saint.
• The Zither Saint offered resources for peace, but the Star God demanded five times the amount and threatened to end the talks.
• The Star God listed the Descender Universe’s past transfers to the Remnant Clan, undermining the Zither Saint’s claim that it could offer no more.
• The Star God left after warning that the Descenders had only one more chance to reconsider his terms.
• The Theater God angrily confronted the Zither Saint about his own small payment, then accepted an eight percent cut and escorted the Descenders to their lodgings.
• The Theater God told Xiao Ying to join the next peace talks so they could pressure the Descenders for a higher price and another commission.
