• Su Wen observed that the gate had withstood the Battle God's many enhancements and told him to fall back.

The Third Epoch forces withdrew from the True Demon Universe’s realm gate just before Su Wen’s Fate Bombardment destroyed it, then charged into the enemy universe.

• A middle-aged man told his father that the military merit system now offered resurrection, prompting the old man to retrieve his spear and decide to try bringing a lost loved one back.
• People across the Divine Fate Universe reacted to the resurrection slots, which promised to restore even those whose souls and true spirits had vanished.
• The Third Epoch Star God asked Su Wen whether he could resurrect people from other universes.
• The Third Epoch Star God argued that resurrecting loved ones could persuade powerful figures to serve Su Wen, even when they understood the cost to their universe.
• Su Wen admitted that he would struggle to refuse such an offer, and the Third Epoch Star God said nearly everyone would make that trade.

The Third Epoch Star God warned Su Wen not to trust even close allies across the span of six epochs, then asked him to provide three resurrection slots a year for other universes. After they agreed on the terms, Su Wen wondered why the Will of the Universe had acted against its own hope and future, and suspected another universe had influenced it.

• The Third Epoch Star God cautioned Su Wen that people, including himself and Su Wen’s comrades, could change over time and should not be trusted blindly.
• Su Wen considered how his ability to travel through time and open Sub-Space-Times let him verify the future and assured him that his comrades were trustworthy.

Su Wen and the Third Epoch Star God used a public resurrection to reveal that Su Wen could revive beings from other universes, then arranged for the information to reach enemy spies through the Battle God's seemingly careless remarks. The Battle God's subordinates helped make the leak look convincing, and an emergency attack interrupted the gathering where the truth surfaced.

• Su Wen suspected hidden forces had influenced the Divine Fate Universe and Qiang's rise, but set those questions aside to focus on the Third Epoch.
• After a God King-level deputy commander won a major victory, Su Wen publicly resurrected the deputy commander's long-dead beloved, sparking a fierce pursuit of military merit.
• At a gathering of senior Military Warfare Department officials, the deputy commander revealed that the Battle God had mentioned Su Wen could resurrect beings from other universes.
• The Third Epoch Star God told Su Wen that spies from the Remnant Clan, True Demon, Descender, and Qiang Beast Universes had attended the gathering, and an emergency attack on the Remnant Clan battlefield halted it.
• Su Wen and the Third Epoch Star God agreed that the Battle God's accidental disclosure would seem more believable than a leak from the other gods.

Su Wen entrusted the Third Epoch Star God with negotiations over the resurrection of the dead while he worked on his own plan. In the Qiang Beast Universe, the Great Lord confirmed Su Wen’s resurrection power and ordered its followers to befriend and invite him.

• Su Wen recalled that Lin Mo had sworn brotherhood with two races that planted a Mental Gu Seed in the Battle God, and said the Third Epoch Star God could handle King Xun of the Remnant Clan.
• The Third Epoch Star God told Su Wen that several universes had contacted him about the resurrection matter and offered to bring Su Wen to the trade meeting or send him a recording.

• The Great Lord confirmed Su Wen’s powers, and the Abyssal Priest relayed instructions to show him goodwill, share limited information, and bring him to the Qiang Beast Universe as a guest.

The Immortal Clan’s leadership convened a major conference after hearing of the resurrection ability, while True King Pang Ze and other powerful figures quietly considered negotiating for resurrection themselves. In the Third Epoch, Su Wen watched the River of Space-Time invite him to test its internal version and blame the River of Fate for corruption in its ranks.

• The Lord of the Remnant Clan and the Remnant Clan Speaker told the Immortal Dao conference to wait for confirmation of the resurrection ability and said the leadership would allocate any acquired resurrection slots fairly.
• The Immortal Clan Speaker pledged loyalty to the universe and announced a council team to hunt spies, while True King Pang Ze privately voiced no objection to the speech.
• True King Pang Ze and others considered negotiating directly with the Divine Fate Universe rather than waiting for the leadership to distribute scarce resurrection slots.
• The True Demon Universe’s old devils discussed what benefits to offer and whether they could recruit the Divine Fate Universe’s honorary commander-in-chief.
• Su Wen watched the River of Space-Time invite him to test its internal version in the Main Space-Time and claim it had purged corrupt Fate Seats and Intern Fate Seats, blaming the River of Fate for their influence.

Su Wen rejected the River of Space-Time’s excuses and demanded compensation for the dangers it had caused. He concluded that its claims of protecting him were self-serving and grew angry at how its manipulation had kept him weak.

• Su Wen suspected that the Narrator and the Intern Fate Seats were creations of the River of Space-Time, then demanded that it offer real benefits instead of empty promises.
• The River of Space-Time claimed its mistaken arrangements had resulted from the River of Fate’s interference and insisted it had yielded only to protect Su Wen.

• Su Wen questioned why the River of Space-Time had not helped him defeat the Remnant Clan and the Descenders in the Main Space-Time.
• Su Wen realized the River of Space-Time had wanted him to return from the Third Epoch and profit from him, and he became angry at how its influence had kept him weak.

Su Wen negotiated compensation from the River of Space-Time, then heard Qiang’s account of how the Immortal Clan and Descender universes had tampered with the Divine Fate Universe. Qiang revealed that his universe was still in its prime and its inhabitants were powerful fighters.

• Su Wen secured the River of Space-Time’s promise to protect his true body, grant him a small-scale attack in the Main Space-Time, and strengthen his battle robe, in exchange for leaving the Third Epoch within a hundred years.
• Qiang contacted Su Wen and offered to reveal an old scheme involving the Descender Universe and the Immortal Clan Universe.
• Su Wen initially ignored Qiang’s messages, then challenged his claim that concealing Su Wen’s existence would protect him.
• Qiang appeared before Su Wen and said the Divine Fate Universe’s Will had been manipulated by the Immortal Clan Universe and the Descender Universe near the start of the First Epoch.
• Qiang explained that his universe had swallowed two newborn universes and remained in its prime, making its inhabitants the best fighters.

Su Wen negotiated with Qiang, who offered the Qiang Beast Universe’s alliance in exchange for guidance toward Transcendence. Qiang explained that the Divine Fate Universe’s Will had developed an extreme defensive reaction after a scheme by the Remnant Clan and Descender universes, leaving Su Wen to wonder whether it had ever recovered.

• Su Wen challenged Qiang to prove its fighting strength by asking how many chaos-powered strikes it could withstand.
• Qiang clarified that it wanted to ally with Su Wen and offered its universe’s warriors in exchange for guidance toward Transcendence.
• Su Wen said Qiang’s offer was insufficient, and Qiang realized it would need to offer more.
• Qiang explained that the Remnant Clan and Descender universes had caused the Divine Fate Universe’s Will to become pathologically protective without possessing or corrupting it.
• Su Wen connected that condition to the Divine Fate Universe’s failure to support the Current Battle God and wondered whether its later weakness and the Mental Gu Seed were further signs or warnings.

Su Wen used the River of Fate to check Qiang’s account of the schemes against Divine Fate Universe and learned that the Ninth Epoch’s crisis stemmed from sabotage rather than deliberate betrayal by its Will. Qiang then admitted that he had arranged Remnant Clan’s and Descender’s plans against Divine Fate, leaving Su Wen to confront the truth behind the coming events.

• Qiang explained how Immortal Dao and Descender could exploit the origins embedded in Divine Fate to force its Will into a desperate gamble during the Eighth Epoch’s final battle.
• Su Wen recognized that Qiang’s first proposed scheme matched the Ninth Epoch’s hellish start and took hope that Divine Fate Universe could still be saved.
• Su Wen wondered whether Divine Fate had chosen him as Grand Eminence on Duty because the God of Wealth represented a chance for a miracle.
• The River of Fate judged Qiang’s account to be half true and half false, prompting Su Wen to threaten to end their deal unless Qiang told him everything.
• Qiang confessed that he had arranged Remnant Clan’s and Descender’s schemes against Divine Fate, and that the plan he described was what would happen in the future.

Su Wen confirmed Qiang’s account and offered him a direction toward Transcendence in exchange for serving him, with the River of Fate overseeing their agreement. After Qiang signed the Fate Contract, Divine Fate destroyed Qiang’s consciousness, while Su Wen unexpectedly greeted the universe’s Will.

• Su Wen asked Qiang about the hardships he had caused in the ninth era, then reaffirmed their deal.
• Su Wen presented Qiang with a Fate Contract, which barred both parties from attacking the other during their cooperation.
• Qiang reviewed the terms and signed the contract, and Su Wen signed afterward as the River of Fate established it.
• Divine Fate sensed Qiang and crushed the consciousness form Qiang had created.
• Su Wen greeted the Divine Fate Universe’s Will, leaving it puzzled by his sudden goodwill.

Su Wen discussed Qiang’s visit and the Divine Fate Universe’s troubles with the Third Epoch Star God, who reassured him that Hundred Spirits was still fighting the Remnant Clan and gave him a golden horn to summon her. The Star God departed to continue his work, while Su Wen was left to handle the Ninth Epoch’s problems.

• Su Wen told the Third Epoch Star God that Qiang had visited and signed an agreement witnessed by the River of Fate.
• Su Wen explained the Divine Fate Universe’s difficulties and the Aging Universes’ schemes, and the Star God connected them to the Ninth Epoch’s turmoil.
• Su Wen said the Will of the Universe was not deliberately betraying them, and that the Ninth Epoch’s protective barrier had likely been sabotaged by enemy Wills.
• The Third Epoch Star God gave Su Wen a golden horn from Hundred Spirits, explaining that it could wake her or let her know he was calling if she was alive in the Ninth Epoch.
• The Third Epoch Star God reminisced about his old creed of never neglecting good food and sleep, then vanished to return to work.

Su Wen considered supporting Divine Fate and attacking the surrounding universes, while the Military Warfare Department celebrated the success of his strategy across three fronts. Commander-in-Chief Chu then ordered the forces to withdraw from the Remnant Clan Universe frontier and head for the Siyun Universe, opening a fourth front.

• Su Wen reflected on his nearly ten years in the Sub-Space-Times and planned to support Divine Fate and target its neighboring universes.
• The head of the Military Warfare Department praised the Honorary Commander-in-Chief’s strategy after Divine Fate’s forces achieved major gains against the Remnant Clan Universe, the Descender Universe, and the True Demon Universe.
• The department reported that formations in the Descender Universe had made transporting captured resources far more efficient after Divine Fate crushed its top combat forces.
• Commander-in-Chief Chu sent new orders, and the head of the Military Warfare Department directed the God of Wealth Army Corps’ Phantom Beast groups to leave the Remnant Clan frontier and sent forces toward the Siyun Universe.
• Divine Fate’s soldiers accepted the new four-front war without protest and looked forward to earning the war merit needed for promotions and resurrection slots.

After years of war, Su Wen had bombarded the surrounding universes and prepared the Third Epoch Star God to continue the conflict after his departure. He left the Third Epoch with resurrection slots and renewable buffs, then said goodbye to the Star God and Yun Yan as he prepared to return to the Ninth Epoch.

• Yun Yan and the Third Epoch Star God reflected on Su Wen’s departure before deciding to drink with the Battle God.
• Luobao appeared in the Fate Tunnel and told Su Wen the River of Fate had granted him a chance to comprehend the Dao and attempt to ascend to God King.

Su Wen received a gift from the River of Fate while returning through the Fate Tunnel, advancing to God King and having his unstable foundation strengthened. The River of Fate left protective fate aura on him so he could anger the River of Space-Time after returning to the ninth epoch, and Su Wen gladly agreed.

• Su Wen reflected that he trusted the River of Fate more than Silent River because it had treated him fairly and stood by him.
• The River of Fate summoned golden lights containing its God of Wealth Great Daos, and Su Wen's mastery of the Wealth Dao surged beyond complete mastery.
• Fate aura entered Su Wen and helped him construct the power of a God King while leaving traces around his body.
• Su Wen realized his new God King power was far stronger than the power he had gained in his previous five hundred years.
• The River of Fate explained that it had strengthened Su Wen's unstable foundation and left harmless, protective fate aura to provoke the River of Space-Time.
• Su Wen happily accepted the River of Fate's plan, saying that helping a friend was only natural.

After eighteen years in the Fate Tunnel, Su Wen returned to the Main Realm as a God King and reunited with the Star God and the others. He learned how much the ninth epoch had changed and teased the Battle God for still being below True God, while the Battle God resolved to ask him for help advancing.

• The Theater God, Wind God, Shadow God, God of Fate, and Battle God gathered to greet Su Wen’s return.
• Su Wen teased the Battle God for remaining below True God and called his ongoing fights against demigod clans beginner-level training; the Battle God decided to ask Su Wen how to speed up his cultivation.

Su Wen explained that the Ninth Epoch’s Will of the Universe had not intended to harm them and outlined a way for the Battle God to gain combat experience through the Incumbent God of Sleep’s dream authority. The group learned that their universe’s crisis stemmed from the Will’s weakness and the multiverse’s schemes, while the Battle God waited impatiently for news of his training.

• The Battle God asked Su Wen for a way to gain combat experience quickly, and Su Wen said the Incumbent God of Sleep could create a dream combat space that hid the Battle God’s awareness of his opponents.
• The Battle God chose not to hear the details so the training would remain a surprise, but he stayed when Su Wen invited him to listen to the meeting.
• Su Wen told the group that the Will of the Universe had no intention of harming them and explained what he had learned from the Third Epoch.
• The Star God concluded that their Will of the Universe had been outmaneuvered because it was weak and its origin was in turmoil.
• The Shadow God laughed at the Battle God’s restless impatience, and he challenged her to explain what was funny.

Su Wen explained Battle God’s combat training before leading the other gods to investigate the Land of Void. Battle God arrived ready to train, only to find that everyone had already left.

• Dou Ling explained that the Third Epoch Star God had given him a timekeeping corona that awakened him when the Ninth Epoch’s group arrived.
• Su Wen revealed to Dou Ling that he was the Ninth Epoch’s Incumbent God of Wealth, and the Third Epoch Wealth Dragon Envoy confirmed his identity.
• Star God asked why Dou Ling and the Wealth Dragon Envoy had not appeared in the Ninth Epoch, and Su Wen suggested each Divine Seat and Heavenly Mandate Bearer profession had only one slot until its holder died.
• Star God realized that the dwindling number of Heavenly Mandate Bearers across epochs might be because many predecessors were still alive.
• Su Wen led the group into the Land of Void to see how it had developed and look for the Wealth Sources Yun Yan had promised him.

Dou Ling led Su Wen and the others to the Land of Void, where Su Wen awakened the Third Epoch’s God of Wealth Army Corps. The newly awakened cultivators recognized him as the Incumbent God of Wealth, while the reason their Third Epoch had lost its war remained unknown.

• The Wealth Dragon Envoy complained that Dou Ling had awakened him early, and Dou Ling explained that he had chosen him to avoid sparring with his Battle God Legion comrades while guarding the sleepers.
• Su Wen asked Star God why the Third Epoch Star God had assigned Dou Ling to guard the sleeping area, and Star God suggested the task anticipated Dou Ling waking someone early so he could sense their arrival.

• The awakened God Kings greeted Su Wen as their Grand Majesty, and the True God cultivators realized that the Honorary Commander-in-Chief was the Incumbent God of Wealth.
