Su Wen and the Star God took command of the Main Realm’s forces and opened a second front against the Descender Universe. Using knowledge from other Sub-Space-Times, the Star God repeatedly outmaneuvered the Descenders, and the Divine Fate Universe’s army eventually broke through their realm gate and seized a tenth of their universe.

• The Star God and Su Wen brought the Frontier Battlefield’s legions under their control and launched attacks against both the Remnant Clan and the Descender Universe.

• When the Descender Universe replaced its supreme border defense marshal, the Divine Fate Universe attacked its weakest point, shattered its realm gate, and advanced across a tenth of its territory.

Su Wen and Star God prepared to exploit the Descender Universe’s weakness by demanding its resources, while Su Wen refused to meet Zither Saint. Star God began negotiations with blunt demands and a threat to continue the war, leaving Zither Saint stunned by his uncharacteristic behavior.

• Su Wen and Star God joked that taking the Descender Universe’s resources would help its people and world join their universe, while secretly planning to send them to their deaths.

• Zither Saint was left bewildered by Star God’s blunt, aggressive approach to negotiations.

The Star God forced the Descender Universe to accept his compensation demands and gave them one day to respond. The Descenders agreed to pay but tried to bargain for the identity of their suspected traitor, and the Star God revealed he already knew their secret dealings with the Remnant Clan’s Will of the Universe.

• The Star God cut off the Zither Saint’s attempts to negotiate and demanded the Descender Universe pay his terms or face war within one day.
• Su Wen praised the Star God’s performance, and the Star God said the Descenders would agree to the terms.
• The Zither Saint returned with the Descender Universe’s agreement to pay in five installments over a thousand years, but asked the Star God to identify their traitor in exchange for a secret.
• The Star God rejected the offer, saying the Descenders’ secret about their Will of the Universe conspiring with the Remnant Clan’s Will of the Universe was already known.
• The Zither Saint suspected the Fire Saint might be the traitor who had revealed the secret.

The Descender Universe paid the Divine Fate Universe its compensation, only for the Star God to launch a surprise attack and begin its annihilation. As the Descenders unleashed their universe’s full power and inflicted heavy casualties, the Star God urged Su Wen to resurrect an Incumbent True God.

• The Zither Saint warned central command that traitors may have given Star Gods confidential information, and other saints’ suspicions fell on the Fire Saint.

• The Remnant Clan High Priest accused Baili Chaoge of sacrificing his comrades for a play, and Baili Chaoge attacked him even more viciously.

Su Wen and the Star God discussed Baili Chaoge’s damage to the Remnant Clan and their progress in the war, then agreed on a departure time for him. Baili Chaoge planned a final move, while Su Wen made clear he was chiefly worried about losing the Wealth Source he had spent on him.

• Su Wen reassured Baili Chaoge that he cared about his safety because he had spent so much Wealth Source on him, leaving Baili Chaoge disconcerted by the blunt explanation.

Over two and a half years, Su Wen and Baili Chaoge helped the Divine Fate Universe devastate the Remnant Clan Universe, and Su Wen planned to join Baili Chaoge in burying most of the enemy experts. When Baili Chaoge asked Su Wen to revive his Dao companion, Su Wen learned that Qin Xuerou’s Whale-Gulping and Ox-Drinking Method had helped bring down the Western Succession Universe.

• Su Wen learned that Qin Xuerou created the Whale-Gulping and Ox-Drinking Method from Taotie’s bloodline to take revenge on the Western Succession Universe, helping drain its spiritual sources and hasten its fall.

Su Wen, the Star God, and Baili Chaoge tricked the Remnant Clan into lowering its guard and destroyed more than half of its upper echelon before escaping the Immortal Dao’s attack. Su Wen resurrected Baili Chaoge’s wife, Qin Xuerou, and the group returned to Main Space-Time, where Sycee reacted warily to his questions about its secret stash.

• Su Wen agreed to resurrect Qin Xuerou, and Baili Chaoge fought with renewed determination.

• Su Wen contacted the River of Space-Time, and the four vanished before the Immortal Dao’s will descended in rage.
• Back in Main Space-Time, Su Wen praised Sycee and asked about its secret stash, leaving Sycee suspicious that he planned to take it.

Su Wen explained why he resurrected Qin Xuerou, a renowned cultivator and creator of the Qin Dao, rather than another powerful god. He and the Star God considered whether Qin Xuerou could help advance the stalled Martial Dao.

• Qin Xuerou thanked Su Wen for resurrecting her, and Su Wen gave her and Baili Chaoge a few days to spend together and travel.
• The Star God asked Su Wen why he had used a precious resurrection slot on the Incumbent Theater God's Dao companion, and Su Wen said Qin Xuerou's abilities made her the right choice.
• Su Wen shared Qin Xuerou's history: she created her own cultivation path, rose from mortal to True God, and developed many techniques that shaped the Fifth Epoch.
• Su Wen told the Star God that the Organ Martial Dao had stalled and consumed excessive resources, and the Star God wondered whether its path had gone astray.
• Su Wen said he wanted to see what Qin Xuerou could accomplish with the Martial Dao, and the Star God agreed that resurrecting her was a better choice than reviving the Fifth Epoch's Star God or God of Wealth.

Su Wen and the Star God discussed Qin Xuerou’s potential, the limits of the Divine Fate Universe, and Baili Chaoge and Qin Xuerou’s role in plans against the Remnant Clan. After Baili Chaoge agreed to take charge of the border and Martial Dao, Su Wen decided to bring more forces in to temper the Battle God and introduce Baili Chaoge to their allies.

• The Star God asked whether Su Wen would surrender leadership to someone more capable, and Su Wen said he would readily hand it over.
• The Star God questioned whether the Divine Fate Universe could grant Su Wen his connection to the Rivers of Space-Time and Fate, while Su Wen said Black River demanded a hundred trillion wealth sources for answers.
• Su Wen sent Baili Chaoge and Qin Xuerou a plan, and they agreed to handle the Remnant Clan's border and Martial Dao development.
• The Star God reported that the Battle God had advanced to True God and could suppress four or five God Kings, so Su Wen ordered additional forces to join the fight and help temper him.
• Su Wen and the Star God argued jokingly over who had devised the plan to beat up the Battle God.

Su Wen and the Star God revealed that the Battle God’s years of dangerous battles had been staged to help him grow stronger. After learning that his companions had already reached the God King Realm, the Battle God guessed that Su Wen had returned from a Sub-Space-Time with Si Mengxue.

• The Battle God tried to exploit an opening in Dou Ling’s defenses, but the gray-robed Wealth Dragon Envoy struck him and was accused of being the God of Wealth in disguise.

• The Battle God learned that Su Wen had returned from a Sub-Space-Time and guessed that he had brought back Si Mengxue to upset him.

Su Wen reunited with the Ninth Epoch gods and introduced them to Baili Chaoge, the Fifth Epoch Incumbent Theater God. Baili made a grand entrance, while the Battle God silently wondered how easily he could be defeated.

• Su Wen considered punishing the Battle God for bringing up the tragedy in the Sub-Space-Time, but decided against it because that Battle God had already paid with his life and origin.
• Su Wen and the Star God reflected on the Battle Gods’ past conduct and agreed that the Ninth Epoch Battle God was comparatively well behaved.
• Three days later, the Theater God, Wind God, Shadow God, and Li Wenze returned to the organization, and Su Wen gathered everyone to introduce someone.
• Su Wen revealed that the person was connected to the Theater God, then summoned Baili Chaoge, who introduced himself as the Fifth Epoch Incumbent Theater God.
• The Battle God wondered how many of him Baili Chaoge could defeat, and Baili sensed his thoughts.

Baili Chaoge joined Su Wen and the others, exchanging gifts and discussing the Theater God Legion’s infiltrated commander. After Su Wen explained the Eighth Epoch’s desperate circumstances, Baili Chaoge blamed himself for the Fifth Epoch’s failures, and Su Wen proposed uniting the strongest forces across all nine epochs to strike their enemies.

• Theater God greeted Baili Chaoge as his master, and Baili Chaoge said everyone could use whatever terms of address they preferred.

• Baili Chaoge questioned why the Eighth Epoch Theater God had appointed Ye Guanzhi, a Remnant Clan mole, to command the Theater God Legion.
• Su Wen explained that the Eighth Epoch had few advantages after seven failures and that Diwu Pengcheng might have gambled on Ye Guanzhi to improve the Ninth Epoch’s chances.
• Baili Chaoge called himself useless for failing to leave later epochs better conditions, and Su Wen urged him to help unite the top forces from all nine epochs against their enemies.

Su Wen listened as Baili Chaoge and the Star God debated how to use the Ninth Era’s growing strength, while they indirectly prepared him for his changing role among the Incumbent True Gods. He learned the River of Space-Time would arrange a meeting with the Incumbent Shadow God if he agreed to use it rather than the River of Fate for her future revival, and the River of Fate advised him to accept for now and worry about the promise later.

• Baili Chaoge argued that the Ninth Era should exploit its advantages and quickly devour the origins of nearby universes, while the Star God favored a cautious plan focused first on the Descender Universe and rebuilding their strength.
• Su Wen realized that Baili Chaoge and the Star God were using their debate to show him how the Incumbent True Gods might change his relationship with the Star God.
• Sycee told Su Wen that the River of Space-Time would arrange a meeting with the Incumbent Shadow God if he promised to use it, not the River of Fate, for her future revival.
• Su Wen learned that the Incumbent Shadow God was one of the most expensive Incumbents to revive and had been exceptionally powerful in the Eighth Era.
• The River of Fate advised Su Wen to accept the River of Space-Time’s offer and secure its benefits, leaving the question of fulfilling his promise for later.

• Su Wen agreed to the River of Space-Time's terms and entered the Trading Space to meet Jiu Ying.

• Su Wen revealed that the Incumbent Star God was still alive, bringing the number of incumbent gods who could join forces to six.
• Jiu Ying explained that her authority kept the Undying Legion from being wiped out as long as she lived, though its sacrifices had caused grief and helplessness.

• Jiu Ying told Su Wen that her loved ones had ended their lives to join her Undying Legion, and that they would vanish if she fell.
• Su Wen suggested that the Legion might return if Jiu Ying were resurrected, and she thanked him.

• The Star God and Baili Chaoge argued over who should control the battlefield and make military decisions.

Five years later, the Main Realm had advanced rapidly, its frontier forces had been reorganized, and the eight army corps had merged into the God of Wealth Army Corps.

• Su Wen asked Baili Chaoge whether he wanted power again, and Baili declined, urging Su Wen to lead the Ninth Epoch as he saw fit.

• Over five years, the Main Realm expanded and developed, while Arrow Realm captives could earn freedom through labor for the Human Alliance under protections against abuse.
• The Star God and the Theater God completed the frontier reorganization, merging the eight old army corps into the new God of Wealth Army Corps.

Su Wen prepared to awaken the Hundred Spirits Insect Mother as the Star God reorganized the armies and Baili Chaoge staged an appearance in Remnant Clan territory. The chapter ended with King Yao witnessing the bloodied, seemingly battered Baili emerge from a spatial rift.

• The Star God abolished the army designations, explained that Remnant Clan infiltration had compromised defenses, and planned to appoint new leaders through assessments.
