Su Wen used Sycee’s Space-Time Projection to show the Theater God being hunted by beings who called themselves Theater Dao Guardians.

Back at the organization’s office, Wind God explained that a call from the wind had led him to the Hidden Kill World, where he had triggered an unfinished Heavenly Mandate Quest.

• Sun Yunwei learned she had qualified for guaranteed admission to the National University of Defense Technology, and her parents signed confidentiality agreements after officials explained that the matter was a state secret.

• The Theater God warned the Wind God that the Hidden Kill Clan might be luring him into danger and asked Su Wen to show him his death projection.

• Su Wen's Wealth Disrupts Space-Time sent him thirty years into the future, and Sycee brought him to a martyrs' cemetery in the Imperial Capital.
• Su Wen searched the cemetery and found a towering tombstone as a white-haired old man repeatedly swept the already spotless grave.
• Su Wen asked the old man who he was, but the man gestured for him to read the tombstone and resumed sweeping.

• Su Wen struggled to believe the Battle God had killed him and decided to keep reading to learn why.

The tombstone records traced the Martial God’s contributions to the Martial Dao and the Battle God’s supposed murder of him, followed by the Star God’s pursuit of the Battle God. After reading the account, the God of Wealth doubted its details and decided to question the grave-tender about his identity and the events behind the feud.

• The records credited the Martial God with creating the Martial Dao cultivation systems and described how other masters developed them further.
• The records said the Battle God murdered the Martial God after an emotional misunderstanding and the Battle Fury Priest’s instigation.
• The Star God reportedly pursued and defeated the Battle God, then stripped him of his citizenship as the Battle God disappeared.
• The God of Wealth suspected the Star God and Battle God’s feud had concealed a secret operation and doubted the records about the fight and the Star God’s white hair.
• The God of Wealth decided to question the grave-tender, whom he suspected might be the Battle God.

Su Wen realized Battle God might have sent him from the Main Space-Time without warning, then questioned the grave-tending old man and confirmed he was Battle God. Battle God admitted the events on Martial God's tombstone were true and explained how the Arrow Realm's Holy Spirit Clan and Dream Aspect Clan had manipulated him into killing Martial God.

• Su Wen reasoned that Battle God might have sent him to the Sub-Space-Time to improve their efficiency, and decided to guard against Battle God learning he could cross space-time.
• Su Wen questioned the grave-tending old man about his identity, Martial God's death, and Battle God's disappearance.
• The old man broke down, knelt before Su Wen, and admitted that he was Battle God and that the tombstone's account was true.
• Battle God said his emotional misunderstanding, rashness, and a despicable person's instigation had led him to kill Martial God, and confirmed that Star God had truly pursued him.
• Battle God explained that the Holy Spirit Clan and Dream Aspect Clan had created and manipulated Si Mengxue to exploit his romantic fantasies and target him.

Su Wen realized that the Holy Spirit Clan and Dream Aspect Clan had exploited a rule hidden in Si Mengxue’s soul to make the Battle God fall in love with her and kill him. The Battle God’s account revealed that he regained clarity only after killing Si Mengxue, and Su Wen resolved to accelerate the growth of the Martial Dao.

• Su Wen reasoned that the clans had designed Si Mengxue to exploit the Battle God’s feelings and make him kill Su Wen.
• Su Wen considered how difficult it would be to protect the Battle God without interfering with his freedom to love.
• Su Wen wondered whether diviners from the Arrow Realms had died from backlash when trying to divine his fate.
• Su Wen decided to travel farther into the future next time and help the Martial Dao advance faster.
• The Battle God said that after killing Su Wen, he killed Si Mengxue, causing the rule characteristic in her soul to dissipate and restoring his clarity.

Su Wen comforted the aged Battle God, who explained that jealousy and deep inferiority had made him vulnerable to the enemy’s scheme. Su Wen then asked why the Holy Spirit Clan and Dream Aspect Clan had targeted him, wondering whether he needed another identity.

• Su Wen reflected on how his actions had changed people’s fates across space-times and resolved to keep confronting the dangers those changes brought.
• Su Wen tried to comfort the Battle God by saying he had been killed by him many times before, leaving the elderly Battle God silent.
• The Battle God said he had killed Su Wen out of jealousy rooted in his own inferiority, which the Dream Aspect Clan and Holy Spirit Clan had exploited.
• Su Wen wondered whether the Battle God’s envy of him and love for Si Mengxue had fueled his suspicions after the Battle Fury Priest’s provocations.
• Su Wen asked why the two clans had targeted him and considered changing identities to evade the Arrow Realm’s schemes.

The Battle God explained how the Holy Spirit Clan and Dream Aspect Clan manipulated events to make him kill the Martial God, leaving him overwhelmed with guilt. He described how his powers made him unable to die in combat and urged the God of Wealth to keep trusting the Star God.

• The Battle God explained that the clans had targeted him primarily and chosen the Martial God as a secondary target because of his status, influence, and apparent weakness.
• Unable to go mad or escape his guilt, the Battle God tried to die at the Star God's hands and burned his powers to destroy threats across Huaxia and slaughter the Dream Aspect Clan.
• The Battle God reached the Holy Spirit Realm, but its seal trapped him, and his attempt to die failed because the Law of Combat continuously healed and strengthened him during battle.
• The Battle God told the God of Wealth that the Star God had turned white-haired and become extreme after killing the Martial God, and that the Star God's grief—not suspicion of the future Martial God—had driven his actions.
• The Battle God asked the God of Wealth not to doubt the Star God, insisting that the Star God remained worthy of his trust.

Su Wen considered the Star God's sacrifices and the threat posed by the mysterious Holy Spirit Clan, wondering whether they could be controlled and how to learn their true strength. Meanwhile, the elderly Battle God sought forgiveness for killing the Martial God and proposed that the Main Space-Time Battle God atone for him by letting Su Wen beat him.

• Su Wen reflected that the Star God had protected him and considered how vulnerable they would be without the Star God holding the fort.
• Su Wen speculated that the Holy Spirit Clan might fear the God of Wealth's control and that learning their power could reveal how to counter them.
• The elderly Battle God repeatedly admitted his mistakes and tried to kowtow, but Su Wen stopped him and urged him not to humiliate himself.
• The elderly Battle God told Su Wen that his hope of meeting someone from the Main Space-Time had been the only light in his heart and that he wanted Su Wen's forgiveness before he died.
• The elderly Battle God proposed that the Main Space-Time Battle God atone in his place, asking Su Wen to beat him as severely as possible.

The Star God proposed using the elderly Battle God’s entire power to give the God of Wealth temporary peak combat strength against the Holy Spirit Clan’s schemes. The River of Space-Time said it could prevent the resulting disruption for five hundred thousand Wealth Source, but warned that each use would consume some of the Battle God’s power.

• The elderly Battle God suggested atoning by having his counterpart in the main space-time beaten, and the Star God arrived to offer another plan.
• The Star God explained that he had prepared to transfer the elderly Battle God’s body, soul, combat traits, and rules into the God of Wealth’s sea of consciousness as a reserve of power.
• The Star God said the plan would let the God of Wealth unleash the Battle God’s peak strength, enough to strike down an Earth Deity, despite not breaking through to the Seventh Rank.
• The God of Wealth worried that the elderly Battle God would die and that two versions of him could not coexist in one space-time.
• The River of Space-Time offered to resolve the disruption for five hundred thousand Wealth Source, while warning that the Battle God’s power would diminish with every use.

Su Wen accepted the River of Space-Time’s costly offer to gain the peak Battle God’s power, then decided to train by beating the Battle God. The chapter ended as Su Wen prepared to unleash Forbidden Magic and four Talisman Treasures on him.

• Su Wen agreed to pay five hundred thousand Wealth Source for the power of the peak Battle God, seeing it as a way to protect Huaxia and confront its enemies.
• Su Wen took goji berries and tea from Old Master Theater God, then asked the Battle God to practice with him.
• The Battle God agreed to spar alone, believing Su Wen’s attacks would be less painful than those of the Theater God and Star God.
• Su Wen trapped the Battle God in a Forbidden Magic Space Cage and explained that it would compress the enclosed space until it crushed him.
• Su Wen told the Battle God that being beaten would help him grow stronger, then summoned his magic book and four Talisman Treasures to begin the attack.

Su Wen used four supreme-grade talisman treasures to temper and strengthen the Battle God, while a powerful figure in the Holy Spirit Realm discovered that the Battle God had gained a chance to transcend and summoned Meng Qi to help prevent it. The chapter left Meng Qi eager to accept the task after being promised that her clan could send three people to the Holy Spirit Blessed Land.

• Su Wen unleashed four supreme-grade talisman treasures and forbidden spells to heal and temper the Battle God's body, soul, consciousness, and senses.
• The Battle God endured the painful training and recognized that Su Wen's methods were making him stronger, though he doubted they were ordinary training.
• An indistinct figure in the Holy Spirit Realm divined that the Battle God's fate had changed and learned he had gained a chance to transcend.
• The figure saw that the Flower Calamity Clan and Weili Clan had planted gu in the Battle God's perineum and feared they would put him on his guard.
• The figure summoned Meng Qi of the Dream Aspect Clan and offered her clan entry for three people into the Holy Spirit Blessed Land if she completed his request.

An unseen figure ordered two golden-robed men to use a fragment of combat-rule power and a destiny treasure to create Battle God’s ideal lover and destroy him without killing him, while secretly resolving that Martial God must die. Su Wen returned with the battered Battle God, and a later account explained how Star God and Theater God differed in what they sought to protect.

• An ancestor gave two golden-robed men a combat-rule fragment and ordered them to work with the Dream Aspect Clan to create Battle God’s perfect lover and cripple him without killing him.
• The ancestor suffered a severe backlash after divining the God of Wealth and decided Martial God must die, while insisting Battle God’s soul be preserved if he was killed.
• Su Wen and the badly injured Battle God returned to the office, where healing magic and the Lightning Talisman Treasure helped restore Battle God.
• Battle God asked Su Wen why he had beaten him, but Su Wen said he would explain after Star God and Theater God emerged from seclusion.
• Battle God resumed reading a Martial Dao book, while Su Wen wondered whether Star God and Theater God would also beat him after learning the reason.
• A later account said Star God prioritized the Main Space-Time and the God of Wealth, while Theater God focused on protecting and advancing his own space-time in the present.

Su Wen declined to pay the River of Space-Time for its answers, then watched the Star God and Battle God prepare for a major act that alarmed the Arrow Realm and sparked hopes in Huaxia that the Martial God had returned. The Theater God recognized the Battle God’s path of atonement and headed back to Huaxia, where he was about to meet Su Wen.

• Su Wen decided not to spend three hundred thousand Wealth Source on the River of Space-Time’s answers and planned to save his money for a Battle God blessing.
• The elderly Battle God asked the Star God whether he should reach his peak state, and the Star God agreed.
• The Battle God released a fearsome aura, prompting the Arrow Realm’s Emperor Rank Limit experts to activate their preparations for his possible attack.
• The Star God and Battle God combined their powers, leading Huaxia’s Heavenly Mandate Bearers and martial artists to believe the Martial God might still be alive and returning.
• The Theater God, investigating the Arrow Realm in disguise, realized the Battle God had chosen to atone for his sins and set off for Huaxia to meet Su Wen.

The Theater God brought Su Wen into the Theatrical Phenomena World to study the future’s knowledge while the Star God and Battle God worked through their complicated fusion. As the River of Space-Time offered to accelerate Su Wen’s learning for one million Wealth Source, Su Wen suspected it had raised the price to spite him.

• The Theater God returned and protected Su Wen, the Star God, and the Battle God, then warned that their work could take months or years.
• The Theater God offered Su Wen the chance to study future knowledge in the Theatrical Phenomena World, and Su Wen accepted.
• Su Wen found the world stocked with organized knowledge and training areas, realizing the Theater God had prepared it for him.
• Su Wen began replicating and studying the future’s knowledge, while the River of Space-Time offered to speed his learning and help him develop new Martial Dao theories.
• The River of Space-Time asked Su Wen to pay one million Wealth Source for its offer, and he suspected the price increase was retaliation for calling it black-hearted.
