Note From Developer: I’m a big fan of Chinese web novels, but I often came across great stories with poor translations. That’s why I started this website! My goal is to make this the best web novel translation site out there. If you have any suggestions or feedback, feel free to reach out on Discord or Instagram.

“Who~~~” “Who~~~” The celestial god took a deep breath twice to calm his turbulent heart.
Irritation solves nothing; only by staying calm can one find a way out—this point, the celestial god shared a similarity with his dad.
“If we assume Wen Yu's return and taking away Tang Haofei are prerequisites, then the first question I should consider is…”
“Why did Wen Yu take action against Tang Haofei?”
Analyzing layer by layer, gradually approaching the truth, is a very good way of thinking.
The celestial god's mind was quick; after all, his genes were there. He only needed to think briefly, connect everything that had happened in the past, and the best answer to this question emerged.
“The cost of power… Tang Haofei was backfired by the cost of power.”
It was precisely because of the cost of power that the celestial god was able to return from the cultivation vessel, taking Tang Haofei's place. The celestial god was no stranger to the cost of power—although he didn't know about the appearances of Tang San, Tang Si, and even Tang N, he was aware that there was something wrong with Tang Haofei himself.
Of course, this was merely the most likely speculation; perhaps Wen Yu obtained some higher-level intelligence and directly took action against Tang Haofei upon his return, or maybe the two had a falling out over something and ended up in a fight. These possibilities existed, but comparatively, the celestial god felt that the chance of Tang Haofei being backfired by the cost of power was the greatest.
“Then the second point: where exactly did Tang Haofei go… Hmm, he could be dead, or he might have been taken away by Wen Yu. If he was taken by Wen Yu, then his current location must undoubtedly be the Main City of the Layered Battlefield.”
In the battle between the two, the celestial god firmly pressed that Wen Yu would win. Based on this result, it was very likely that Tang Haofei was killed by Wen Yu, leaving no trace behind—however, if such a situation occurred, it would actually benefit the celestial god. Yet, this possibility was slim; the greatest likelihood remained that Wen Yu took Tang Haofei back to the Main City of the Layered Battlefield.
“Now, let’s consider the third question… What is the current relationship between Tang Haofei and Wen Yu…”
Regarding whether Tang Haofei and Wen Yu were enemies or friends—if they were friends, under mutual influence, the celestial god basically had no chance to pull Tang Haofei to his side, and even keeping him neutral would become a luxury. After all, the relationship between the two and Beijing was quite complex; the celestial god was confident he could persuade Tang Haofei but not Wen Yu. But if the two were enemies…
Then there would be much more room for maneuvering!
Hmm, this question was rather difficult to guess. In fact, the celestial god was already considered smart for thinking so thoroughly about the first two questions. He didn’t know about the appearances of Tang San, Tang Si, etc.; he didn’t understand the essence of the cost of power; and he didn’t know whether Wen Yu had the ability to completely resolve the cost of power. Therefore, for the third question, no matter how hard he tried, he could not arrive at a certain answer.
Thus, the question returned to square one—he still needed to find Tang Haofei and test the waters regarding his stance.
“The fourth question: will Wen Yu's return have any impact on my plan…”
In a daze, the celestial god reviewed the entire plan from beginning to end. He suddenly realized that Wen Yu's return would not cause too much interference with the plan!
“The sovereign is actively hunting for Wen Yu. I don’t know what means Wen Yu has to evade the sovereign's monitoring and positioning, but Wen Yu cannot possibly appear in front of the world openly. In other words, even if he returns to Earth, he can only live incognito for the rest of his life! I want to kill Lin Haifeng, I want to topple Beijing. Even if Wen Yu is unwilling, he cannot openly intervene. At most, he can send soul puppets to create some distraction, but I also have backup methods for this issue, so…”
