At the 100th loop, Seven Star contacted Queen Moon (SS-rank, lv999) (A Great Immortal holding the other half of the Time Key) and invited her to a location near the Evil God's Tower. Queen Moon is the Elemental Queen, possessing the Twelve-Fold Evasion ability, mastering 12 types of elements: (Thermal (heat), Ice (freezing), fire); (Lava, Sand, Earth (Stone)); (Metal, Light, Darkness); (Sound, Wind, Water); (Wood, Lightning, Magnetism). Evasion is the ability to move within those elements, as well as controlling others' elemental magic and imposing magical seals (preventing others from using those elements). Her appearance alone was enough to exert pressure on all opponents; she is known as the strongest Great Immortal.

  But Queen Moon said, "I am sorry, but I am too old, no longer having enough strength to undergo hundreds or thousands of more loops. I will only provide support; give me a few matters that need investigating, and you handle the rest."

  Hearing this, Seven Star did not ask for much, only turning to her for extremely important matters. There were times he let the loop go as far as possible to see what would happen, causing the gate connecting to the world to reach its limit, large enough for the strongest legion of the Omega Star Alliance to arrive. Especially with the Twelve Ancient Gods and their Divine Bodies possessing immense power, no one could stop them anymore. The war spread across the entire Mu continent, causing all Light Immortals with Divine Bodies and power equivalent to Queen Moon to appear.

  And in that timeline, the Twelve Ancient Gods managed to infiltrate the Black Heavenly Dao, causing this system to vanish completely. At that time, Seven Star thought he was finished because the entire continent was under the control of the Omega Alliance. But a light entity appeared and said, "This timeline is locked, all space and time are sealed. Everything, stop." Having said that, he snapped his fingers, and everything froze motionless; only Seven Star could still move.

  That person of light said, "I am the Time Mage. You have found me, ask what you want to ask."

  Seven Star said, "Are you the Creator?"

  The Time Mage said, "In a sense, that is correct. I have the power of creation; besides me, there are others. People call us Creators; each member among us manages a field, and I specifically am the member managing the timeline. I am not the Creator like you think. The Creator you speak of is the One who commands, the one who uses words to control everything, while we are the members who execute. The One who commands is the true decision-maker, creating or destroying this world; that is the true Creator."

  Seven Star asked, "Then for what purpose was this world created?"

  The Time Mage said, "It's simple. This world was created to be experienced, to satisfy emotions, a place for the Gods to resolve their problems."

  Seven Star said, "Do the Gods have problems too?"

  The Time Mage said, "The Gods have many problems; joy, sorrow, anger, hate, and love, they have them all. But in the world of the Gods, war or love is forbidden. If problems are left for too long, it causes emotions to go out of control. So they sever a part of their Divine Soul and drop it into this world, called Star Seeds, becoming players. They will arrange wars to resolve their conflicts, stories of love, and debts that need to be paid. When these soul fragments are complete, they will return to their divine nature. And everyone is happy."

  Seven Star said, "So who is the player? Is it the Star Seed?"

  The Time Mage said, "How should I explain this? Uh... Do you know the concept of Wandering Souls? Also known as wandering spirits. Initially, the Wandering Souls were all players but failed, abandoned by the Divine Souls, so they fell into the loop, also known as the cycle of reincarnation. Those in this loop are not considered players; they must continuously redo a task that was arranged from the beginning without any change. Another way to call them is sub-users to help the main users. As for players, there are many types; the Star Seed group can be seen as new players. They have no past lives, or very few. This group of players will have special traits, such as being lucky, having a separate guidance system, and being helped by old users (masters with unconditional love); all of this is called the newbie gift."

  Seven Star said, "So I am not a player?"

  The Time Mage said, "You are also a player, and an excellent one, achieving great accomplishments, causing the world to change reality, forcing me to appear. Your name will be carved in the sky, at the center of the world. This title is even greater than the player Shiva, who achieved the accomplishment of successfully attacking the Heavenly Dao and splitting it in two."

  Seven Star said, "I am completely free, no one controls me, I am not a player."

  The Time Mage laughed and said, "There are two types of players. The first group of players is directly controlled by a Divine Soul; the body is just a set of clothes—if they die, they discard it and find another body. This group of players is very reckless, always fighting above their level and not fearing death; most of this group are aliens. The second group of players is like you; the Divine Soul only plays the role of a guide arranging situations, while the actions and reactions are decided by you. Besides you, there are other players with the same Divine Soul; or to put it simply, the Divine Soul manages an entire clan."

  Seven Star said, "Ah, I see."

  The Time Mage said, "That is enough. Return to your exam; this exam is only for high-level players. Good luck with your exam." He snapped his fingers, and Seven Star returned to the original position.

  After the conversation with the Time Mage, Seven Star knew he was not alone but had a Divine Soul always watching. He also began to learn how to listen to the Divine Soul of the Royal Star Elf clan more, then connected to chat directly. Seven Star said, "Is King Star (Seven Star's father) with you?"

  Seven Star's Divine Soul replied, "I manage a Heaven, and all King Stars are up here. All are in a state of sleep, waiting for the time to be resurrected; your father is the same. Seven Star, you are the current King Star; I am very happy because you achieved a great accomplishment, recording your name in the sky. But this action also makes your mission more difficult, from A-rank difficulty to SS-rank difficulty. Rest assured, I will give you instructions."

  Seven Star had the instruction sheet of the Heavenly Dao to support him. He had to take a piece of paper himself, listing a long list of tasks, such as missions to protect the Star Seeds, preventing the spatial gates from connecting with aliens to the maximum, letting the Yao Race lose a little, then having Asura support, and finally having the Immortal Race give full support, besides the main missions. Seven Star set sub-missions, such as practicing, memorizing skills, recording them into memory for future practice, etc.

  Seven Star also knew how to deal with these aliens more thoroughly, which was to go directly into the devil tower, occupy the communication room with the outside aliens, and say, "Hello, aliens. It is a pleasure to welcome you to our world, but I hope to meet you at the main gate and during the day, not at night and right at the fence."

  The aliens said, "Who is that? We are gods, we have power, we have rights; we enter whenever we want. You see us as thieves? As soon as we arrive, we will wipe you all out, you insolent ones who dare to look down on others."

  Seven Star said, "I like that idea, so do it right away. Ha ha."

  The aliens replied, "Liar, you are not the Evil God. Who are you? Why do you have a face so similar to the previous Evil God?" Seven Star did not pay attention to these words; later he found out that the Evil God from thousands of years ago belonged to the Star Elf tribe, just like Seven Star, and had also held the temporary position of King Star, sharing the same Divine Soul with him, so the Evil God was also shared the common knowledge of the Divine Soul.

  Seven Star told the aliens, "You are very strong, but remember, how many aliens have entered this world and were able to return? This world has been sealed; you can only enter, not leave. Do not let the Evil God deceive you."

  The aliens were silent for a long time, then ordered the alien soldiers to retreat, but all failed. The purpose of the aliens was to occupy this world, taking material resources and soul resources. But this world only allows entry and not taking anything out; they were trapped, providing resources for this world to develop without gaining any benefits for themselves. So all energy gates with the aliens were closed. Because there was no more support, the Evil God was certain to lose.

  When he had achieved a very long list of tasks to do, Seven Star was only one step away from destroying the Evil God and his Tower. But the Evil God laughed delightedly and said, "Thank you, Seven Star, for showing us the solution to meet the Time Mage, so that we could achieve the accomplishment of attacking him. Do you think I am doing something against the intention of the Heavenly Dao? No, no, I am doing according to the intention of the Heavenly Dao; I am gathering energy, flesh, and souls to make this world richer. Oh, and one more thing, you have the Time Key, right? We have it too. What do you think I used the alien energy for? To manufacture the Time Key, you idiot, ha ha. Stay in this eternal loop forever, ha ha."

  Immediately after, Seven Star returned to the first moment of the loop. He was extremely depressed; now he understood what the difficulty level from A to SS was. Seven Star kept remembering the Evil God's words:

  "You are just a 'player' who wants to win this level, while I am the one helping the (Heavenly Dao) collect the hourly fees. Do you think the Heavenly Dao will truly stand on the side of someone who causes energy loss like you?"
