Zanshu, having so much battle experience, noticed the endgame of Elisa. He stopped giving chase to Elisa and turned back towards the forsaken realm and said, "Well, let's see if the forsaken realm can hold on for long without a half-step peak-turn being's assistance." Zanshu dashed towards the forsaken realm at incomprehensible speeds, which even surpassed his previous speed when he was chasing Elisa earlier. Elisa stopped in her tracks and sent a telepathic message to Solanky and Goldie about the turn of events and the danger the forsaken realm faced now.
Goldie and Solanky frowned the moment they got the message and told Elisa to stall Zanshu on their way back to the forsaken realm, as they would intercept them, as they had also changed their route to the forsaken realm.

Goldie, travelling with Solanky, looked at him in shock and said to himself, "Wasn't this guy a peak entity with 980,000 times the strength of an ISG? The last time we met, how was he this powerful? Now he is a saint emperor, with his lifeform power surpassing most special lifeforms. He has reached the absolute peak of the power a saint emperor can attain in the beyond realm. The moment a true peak-turn being on the level of the counselors and enforcers takes him under their wing, his lifeform can surpass the limits placed on saint emperors, and he would become terrifying. I could sense his spiritual body is no pushover either. What opportunities or trials did this guy come by to elevate his power to this extent? No wonder the forsaken god places him in high regard. I wonder how this guy can turn the tide of the war with his strength at the saint emperor level." As Goldie was in deep thought, Solanky smiled and said, "I never thought you perfectly hid your strength in the forsaken realm. Why did you do that for countless years, even during the first war of the forsaken realm?" Goldie laughed and said, "Because the forsaken god asked me not to intervene, as he deduced that a second war would befall them and that war wouldn't involve him or the Levian progenitor. And that was where I could strike when the levians think they had triumphed and deliver a deadly blow to them. He also deduced that the levians would deploy their most powerful warriors and I would be the only one capable of holding them back. Granted that he finishes crafting the true peak-turn weapon before the second one starts."
Solanky asked if the forsaken god finished crafting that weapon. Goldie shook his head and said, "He wasn't able to finish the craft, as he was also creating and crafting another powerful treasure, which could grant the immediate elder true-peak turn world laws and energy manipulation. The crystal ball you saw him handing over to Fasho is the weapon I am talking of. With it he could battle two half-step peak-turn beings, but he can't kill them with the weapon because his understanding of peak-turn beings is still too shallow to target their weaknesses."
Solanky clearly understood that Fasho was just an immortal god lifeform, and even if he used a true peak-turn attack-type weapon, his power would only be increased to 68 billion times. That was ten times his original strength, which was capped at 6.8 billion times ISG power, making him comparable to immortal god lifeform half-step peak entities. This would mean very little to the tide of the war if compared to beings like the first Levian commander, who is several times stronger.
Solanky turned to Goldie and said, "Since you are a powerful special lifeform, the tide of battle hinges on you." When he said this, Goldie became confused. Solanky was supposed to be the variant per what the forsaken god said, so why was he saying he would be the change? As he was contemplating, Solanky waved his hands towards him, and a storage bag flew towards Goldie. Goldie caught the bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense; what he saw shocked him to the core. He stopped in his tracks and asked, "Where… where did you find all these true peak-turn treasures? Hahahaha. Good… good. I now understand why the forsaken god said you would change the tide of the war. With these weapons Elisa and I could take care of the two powerful half-step peak-turn levians." These were the treasures he got in the secret region; he selected the ones he thought would be useful to him and gave out the rest to Goldie to select the ones that suited him. Goldie selected an armor and a broadsword, as the lifeform's power could fully utilize its power efficiently.
Goldie with the armor and sword in hand looked like a battle god with his tall and slender features. Goldie looked like an elf, but the only difference was his long golden hair and a third vertical eye between his eyebrows with four wings behind him, which were always hidden. He looked at Solanky's wings and smiled as he understood they were treasures of that caliber. He then wrapped Solanky in world energy and spread out his wings and sent a psychic message to Elisa requesting, through a special token from the forsaken god gifted to them, that she send him her current coordinates.
The coordinates were sent to Goldie, and it was 1.5 trillion light-years away from their current coordinates. Goldie said to Solanky, "It's time to test my new flight technique. The golden wing displacement." The moment he said this, his speed increased to 100,000,000 km/s, and it quickly rose to 10.5 lightyears per second and then quickly rose again to insane speeds, which made them look stationary with the realm passing them in a flash. Solanky was shocked because even with his wings he couldn't reach such speeds in the beyond realm, and there were no spatial fluctuations or trails. Solanky instead knew Goldie was at least a special lifeform with 500 billion times the power of an ISG, or he could be even something more. Goldie's speed increased once more to ten thousand times the previous speed, absolutely outmatching Solanky's speed when he used the wing treasure, but Solanky understood that it was because of Goldie's control of the beyond realm laws around him.

Elder Zanshu, who had noticed Elisa giving chase, smiled and quickly turned back and conjured a fireball the size of the sun and hurled it towards Elisa. Elisa then slashed down with her claw and black flames, instantly cutting it into two hemispheres. Zanshu, wielding his treasure in the form of a mace, appeared beside Elisa instantly and slammed it into her body.
The impact threw her off in the distance with 30% of her energies and essences destroyed. Elisa became terrified because she instantly knew that mace was a true peak-turn treasure, and if not for her hard, scaly body, she would have been instantly killed or sent into a comatose state. Zanshu was more shocked than Elisa, as he never thought Elisa could withstand an attack of that level. His respect for Elisa grew even more, and his zeal to capture her burned even more. He dashed towards her again, but how could Elisa allow such an attack to land on her body again? Elisa flew at her top speed, heading back to the forsaken realm, but how did Zanshu let that happen?
He raised his six arms and formed seals with them and pointed towards Elisa's fleeing direction. Sixth, huge palms several hundred light-years wide appeared in the space. These palms were condensed with spiritual and beyond-realm energies; they then launched at Elisa at terrifying speeds. Every space fragment or galaxy that came into contact with the palms was instantly annihilated without a trace. Elisa knew she could risk being hit by any of these palms, as they were the special technique of a special lifeform with 500 billion times the power of an ISG, which would be deadly for her.
Zanshu with giraffe legs was rapidly closing the distance between him and Elisa while still serving the palm strikes. Elisa's situation was getting worse and worse as the distance made it difficult to successfully evade the palm strikes without being affected by their force, which distorted the space.
Elder Zanshu, using his special lifeform techniques, kept on suppressing Elisa as the distance shortened. Using complex maneuvers, Elisa was able to avoid direct hits, as the mace from before had weakened her. Elder Zanshu, who was chasing Elisa, looked troubled, as he had deployed everything to slow down Elisa, but it could only shorten the gap between them. Elisa's injuries began slowing her down, and she couldn't divide her consciousness to absorb the energies of a transcendent grass of eternity, as Zanshu's attacks needed her full concentration to evade them.
Zanshu closed the gap between them and increased his size from a few kilometers to thousands of light-years just to use his size advantage to grab onto Elisa. He stretched his arm to grab Elisa, but a broadsword streaking through the space hit his hand and deflected it.
A calm voice resounded in the space, saying, "Is that how you treat a woman, Zanshu?" Elder Zanshu, hearing this, frowned and said, "Goldie, this doesn't concern you. This is a score to settle between the Levian realm and the forsaken realm." Goldie appeared directly before Elisa with Solanky and said, "Is that so? Then I would indulge myself. Take care of her while I deal with Zanshu myself." Solanky nodded and took out a pill he refined with a transcendent grass of eternity and fed it to Elisa to recover.
