After Act Seven ended and the Undead Legion vanished into dormancy, Lister entered seclusion to complete his fourth advancement. He chose Soul Saber Grandmaster, endured a painful transformation, and emerged at level 200 with a powerful saber soul.

• Tim told Lister that the Undead Legion had vanished, and Lister said it had entered dormancy and ordered Merrick Civilization to pause joint missions and keep a low profile.

Lister completed his fourth evolution and became a Hegemon, qualifying the Merrick Civilization for advancement to level four. After receiving orders to travel to the Beta Civilization’s capital, he set out wary of Admiral Vidal, who had been assigned to deal with him.

• Lister emerged from seclusion, confirmed his Hegemon status in the Civilization Office’s strength test, and learned that the Federation had erased his test records under its confidentiality rules.
• The Federation notified Lister that the Merrick Civilization qualified for level-four advancement and summoned him to the Beta Civilization’s First Administrative Planet to discuss the matter.
• At a holographic conference, Sailuo Beta assigned Admiral Vidal to take responsibility for Lister, while Vidal recalled his long-awaited chance to finish him.
• Before leaving, Lister warned Wang Yue to memorize Kavin’s coordinates in case he did not return, then traveled through a spatial gate to the Beta Civilization’s administrative planet.

Lister was lured into a restricted zone by Admiral Vidal, who trapped him inside a Soul Barrier and revealed that the Federation had moved against the Merrick Civilization. Their battle began with Lister’s powerful counterattack, leaving Vidal shaken as he drew out the gray-mist sphere again.

• Lister discovered that Admiral Vidal had revoked his access to Beta Star and confronted him alone in the restricted zone.
• Vidal summoned Lister into the Soul Barrier, where spacetime was locked and the desolate wasteland transformed into a realm of gray mist and souls.

• Wang Yue ordered Colonel Sannand to prepare the warships for battle, but her attempts to contact the outside world failed.
• Vidal attacked Lister with spatial manipulation, but Lister endured the blows and wounded Vidal with the Shadowless Blade, making Vidal realize he could not defeat Lister in a direct clash.

Lister resisted the soul barrier’s stripping effect and learned that the Federation’s special resource secretly marked and drained its users. He defeated Vidal by overcoming his abyssal attacks and executing him with the Merrick Saber Technique.

• Lister absorbed and then lost the barrier’s soul power without suffering harm, leaving Vidal shocked that the soul attack had failed.
• Vidal explained that the Federation’s Soul Crystal resource marked users so the soul barrier could strip away their gained energy, and Lister realized the game panel had purified his resource.
• Vidal summoned a giant hand from the Abyss, but Lister wounded it and resumed attacking Vidal as more chained hands emerged.
• Lister used Knee Strike to stun and knock back Vidal, then pierced him and the giant hands with the Shadowless Blade, leaving Vidal near death and linked to the Abyss.
• Vidal drew on abyssal energy to recover and fight back, but Lister’s Merrick Saber Technique execution check succeeded, and Vidal died as the energy withdrew.

After killing Vidal, Lister absorbed the Soul Barrier’s power and upgraded Flash to SS-rank before confronting five Hegemons outside the barrier. Boren Leviathan sided with Lister, negotiated with Zion, and took him away under an old agreement.

• Lister took Vidal’s single-use Soul Barrier key, absorbed the refined soul power, and raised his Saber Soul until Flash reached SS-rank.
• Lister deactivated the Soul Barrier and discovered five Hegemons waiting outside, including Sailuo Beta, Xi'an Kaierfu, and Zion.
• Sailuo attacked Lister, but Lister resisted his disorder effect and wounded him twice with the Shadowless Blade.
• Boren Leviathan arrived and stood beside Lister, challenging Sailuo’s claim that he had no right to interfere.
• Zion agreed to honor the old agreement, and Boren took responsibility for the Merrick Civilization’s advancement before taking Lister away.

Lister learned from Boren how the Galactic Federation’s veteran Hegemons exploited the Soul Barrier, and how Boren had won protection for the Leviathan Civilization through a catastrophic weapon and an agreement. After returning to the Merrick Civilization, Lister found Federation forces blockading it under Vidal’s orders and confronted Tolon Davis.

• Lister met Boren, learned that the Federation had thirteen Hegemons, and heard how the Soul Barrier let veterans harvest the souls of newer Hegemons.
• Boren explained that he had survived his own Soul Barrier duel using his mechanical army and a bound high-dimensional energy core that could devastate much of the Federation.
• Boren described the agreement that recognized the Leviathan Civilization and promised protection to any new Hegemon who escaped the Soul Barrier; he then showed Lister the enormous mechanical core.
• Lister returned to the Merrick Civilization and found its ascension awaiting approval from the other major civilizations.
• Lister received a notice that the Merrick Civilization was under a Federation blockade and ordered the Seventh Central Army Group to withdraw.
• Tolon Davis told Lister that he was enforcing General Vidal’s order to prevent anyone from entering or leaving the Merrick Civilization.

• The Merrick emblem joined the symbols of the three oldest civilizations on the Pinnacle of Civilization and appeared in councils across the Federation.

Tim and Sariel mapped territory claimed by the Merrick Civilization while Lister used his new authority as a Galactic Federation deputy speaker to secure support and expand his influence. After half a year of rapid development, Lister strengthened his attributes and prepared the Seventh Central Army for independent service, giving it two years of outside support to build its strength.

• Tim told Sariel that their flight route would document Merrick territory and identify Chaotic Star Regions and unknown forces ahead of a future clearing mission.
• Lister received notice that he had become a deputy speaker of the Galactic Federation Senate and a rotating speaker, then agreed to transfer the Arcane Civilization’s affiliation and grant it two additional legislative seats.
• Six months later, Lister used Federation resources to raise all four attributes to 400 and reviewed the Merrick Civilization’s rapid development.
• Sannand reported that the Seventh Central Army had been reorganized with selected former Seventh Army officers, but worried it was too weak to handle missions without the Undead Legion.
• Lister told Sannand to recruit more officers, arranged support from the Arcane and Glimmer Civilizations for two years, and ordered the Seventh Army to become independent afterward.

Lister traveled from the Milky Way Galaxy to the Babylon Galaxy to help Kavin and the Church of Mechanical Truth secure territory before Hegemon Yatke’s planned invasion. After defeating a pirate who intercepted him, Lister reunited with Kavin and Hoffman, and the chapter ended with Hoffman questioning whether the newly ascended Hegemon could face Yatke.

• Lister piloted a small warship to the Babylon Galaxy and claimed he was gathering intelligence on Hegemon Yatke’s planned mobilization.
• A pirate captain intercepted Lister and attacked his ship, but Lister survived unharmed and destroyed the captain’s three accompanying warships.
• Lister spared the pirate captain, who escorted him to the Church of Mechanical Truth’s base in the BN Star Region.
• Kavin and Hoffman met Lister and recognized that he had reached the Hegemon level, while the pirate captain learned Lister’s true strength.
• Lister toured the Church of Mechanical Truth’s mechanical community and told Kavin he intended to help claim the Babylon Star Domain.
• Hoffman revealed that Yatke planned to attack in three months and asked whether Lister could defeat the Hegemon.

Kavin and Lister launched the Church of Mechanical Truth’s campaign to take control of the Babylon Galaxy, defeating the Oz Civilization’s first resistance. The arrival of an immensely powerful stranger left Henry Oz recognizing the newcomer as a Hegemon.

• Kavin ordered his mechanical army and Jiji’s newly bred Evil Shadow Mechanical Birds to advance into the Babylon Galaxy.
• The Oz Civilization assembled under Henry Oz, but the Evil Shadow Mechanical Birds and mechanical army devastated its first wave of warriors.
• Henry Oz fought the Church’s mechanical guard and demanded to know why it was attacking while Hegemon Yatke threatened the galaxy.
• Kavin arrived with a black-haired stranger, and the mechanical army bowed before them.
• The stranger released an overwhelming aura that suppressed Henry Oz, who recognized him as a Hegemon.

Lister’s forces reached the Star Matrix Civilization, whose elders resisted while waiting for their rising genius Yata to become a Hegemon. After Lister’s killing intent devastated their forces, Yata appeared as a newly advanced Hegemon and proposed dividing the Babylon Galaxy with him; Lister rejected the offer and challenged Yata’s worth.

• Hendeli Oz submitted the Oz Civilization to Lister, who placed Kavin in charge of its forces as they began conquering the Babylon Galaxy.
• The Star Matrix elders chose to resist Lister’s advance while Yata completed his evolution, raising a mental barrier to defend their territory.
• Hendeli led the assault on the barrier, but the Star Matrix elders’ mental attacks stalled the Oz and mechanical forces until Lister arrived.
• Lister’s killing intent overwhelmed the elders and killed more than 70 percent of the Star Matrix Civilization’s elite psionics, extinguishing Hendeli’s lingering defiance.
• Yata appeared as a newly advanced Hegemon, and he and the grand elder offered to share the Babylon Galaxy with Lister.
• Lister dismissed Yata as a newly made Hegemon and asked whether he thought himself worthy.

Lister defeated and killed Yata, the newly risen Hegemon, then destroyed the Star Matrix Civilization and continued consolidating the Babylon Galaxy. When Hegemon Yatke’s fleet arrived, Lister’s assembled forces fought back against the Blue Cluster Galaxy’s vanguard, leaving the battle underway.

• Yata combined the Star Matrix Civilization’s mental energy to attack Lister, but Lister resisted the Mental Matrix and overwhelmed him with knee strikes.
• Lister killed Yata with the Shadowless Blade, slew the eleven elders, and destroyed the Star Matrix Civilization’s core planet and espers.
• Lister ordered news of the destruction spread, and a week later the Church of Mechanical Truth had taken control of 85% of the Babylon Galaxy.
• Hoffman warned Lister that Hegemon Yatke was leading the Blue Cluster Galaxy’s fleet and would arrive in seven days, so Lister ordered the forces in the Babylon Galaxy to assemble in the NS Star Region.
• The Blue Cluster Galaxy’s vanguard attacked the gathered forces, and Lister’s mechanical birds, Hendeli Oz’s Thunder Warriors, surviving Star Matrix espers, and mechanical guards launched a counterattack.

The mechanical coalition’s battle against the Blue Cluster fleet turned against them when the fleet’s living warships and elite Scarlet Hunters overwhelmed their forces. Lister killed hundreds of hunters and confronted Hegemon Yatke, whose failed ambush and clash with Lister left him badly wounded before he began transforming to unleash his full strength.

• The Blue Cluster warships activated self-control mode, healing their hulls and killing the Oz Civilization thunder warriors trapped inside them.
• The fleet’s Scarlet Hunters entered the battle and drove back the coalition until Lister appeared and killed hundreds with a single blade strike.
• Hegemon Yatke confronted Lister, demanded that he withdraw, and offered him a share of the Babylon Galaxy while claiming the Star Matrix Civilization’s territory.
• Lister revealed that he knew about the Star Matrix Civilization’s soul-nurturing space, prompting Yatke to attack him with Star Shattering: Falling Destruction.
• Lister avoided Yatke’s ambush and wounded him with soul-damaging slashes, then damaged the Staff of Star Shattering in their next clash.
• With less than half his health remaining, Yatke’s armor cracked and his body grew from five meters to eight as scarlet light burst from within.

Lister activated Saber Soul Embodiment and used its power to kill Yatke Blue Cluster in the NS Star Region. With Yatke dead, Lister ordered his forces to destroy the Blue Cluster fleet, leaving seventeen prisoners in custody.

• Yatke entered his second stage and used his staff’s gravitational attacks to injure Lister, breaking his armor as the Tyranny Bracers’ power ran low.
• Lister summoned the Saber Soul, entered Battle Intent Eruption, and gained a dramatic increase in saber power.
• Lister countered Yatke’s Star Shattering attack and killed him with a crimson saber strike that annihilated his soul.
• Yatke’s death caused the Blue Cluster fleet and its biological enhancements to falter, and Lister ordered his allied forces to leave none alive.
• Three hours later, the last Blue Cluster warship was destroyed, and Lister learned that seventeen prisoners had been taken to the Church of Mechanical Truth.

After Lister consolidated control of the Babylon Galaxy, he agreed to let Kavin’s mechanical coalition pursue Hoffman’s plan to occupy the resource-rich Blue Cluster Galaxy. The group tested the Star Matrix Civilization’s soul-nurturing space, which dramatically strengthened mechanical lifeforms by reshaping their bodies and exposing them to psychic memories, and Jiji began undergoing a similar transformation.

• Lister’s forces purged the remaining resistance in the Babylon Galaxy, and Kavin’s Church of Mechanical Truth began transforming its planets for the Mechanical Civilization.
• Hoffman urged Lister to seize the Blue Cluster Galaxy, and Lister agreed that Kavin could send the mechanical coalition after Hoffman finished his experiment there.
• Kavin explained that the Star Matrix Civilization’s core space repaired souls but could also mutate minds and bodies; Hoffman entered it to recover while thirteen mechanical lifeforms began testing it.
• The space triggered violent changes in the mechanical lifeforms, but their soul strength rose by about thirty percent, and Dinar emerged stronger with his identity intact.
• Lister brought Jiji into the space, where its body absorbed soul energy and silver-blue material, its appearance changed, and its aura began to soar.

After Jiji’s evolution, Lister’s allied army entered the Blue Cluster Galaxy, where the dependent factions rapidly submitted and Yawente offered tribute. News of Yatke’s death reached rival overlords, who began reconsidering their plans and reaching out to Lister.

• Jiji’s skills and offspring improved, and Lister agreed that Jiji could live in the Babylon Galaxy or Blue Cluster Galaxy; Kavin said Jiji would need to find suitable materials to advance further.
• The Babylon Allied Army set out for the Blue Cluster Galaxy, while Yawente Lanqun and the other faction leaders argued over whether to submit to Lister; Hoffman, posing as Amasi, helped stir their divisions.
• Lister’s army breached the Blue Cluster Galaxy, and its factions disabled their defenses and gathered to welcome the new overlord; Jieao Pakesen pledged allegiance, and Yawente offered Lister star core crystals as tribute.
• A reconnaissance ship reported Yatke’s death to Overlord Gebeier, who suspended development of the M-77 Galaxy and ordered contact with Lister.
• The Green Vine Overlord viewed footage of Lister’s battle, increased the resource quota for the Church of Mechanical Truth, and sent tree speakers to exchange knowledge.

Lister took control of the Blue Cluster Galaxy, renamed it the God's Rise Civilization, and assigned Hoffman to govern it. As Hoffman reorganized its government and began a new puppet experiment, envoys from the Eternal Sea of Trees stayed behind to discuss something privately with Lister.

• Yawente Lanqun surrendered his staff and presented Lister with the Tear of the Shattered Star and a detailed star-sector map, then pledged the Blue Cluster Civilization's loyalty.
• The Moruk Race and other powers presented Lister with gifts, while envoys from the Eternal Sea of Trees and the Bloodred Galaxy arrived bearing offerings and accepting his rule.
• Lister renamed the Blue Cluster Galaxy the God's Rise Civilization and put Hoffman in charge of governing it.
• Hoffman reorganized the government into the Mechanical, Puppet, and War Institutes, assigning Yawente and Jieao to lead the War Institute and Amasi to oversee the Puppet Institute.
• Hoffman began the seventeenth stage of his puppet civilization experiment, using a network of 300,000 puppets and a modified Mind Splitting skill.
• After the Bloodred Galaxy's representative departed, the Eternal Sea of Trees' attendants asked to speak with Lister privately.

Lister accepted Qingteng’s invitation to a Hegemon conference in exchange for a Mother Tree Heart Core, then traveled to the Eternal Sea of Trees and received a strengthening baptism from the Tree of Eternity. At the conference, Qingteng proposed that the gathered Hegemons form a new faction, but several rejected the idea.

• Lister initially declined the invitation to the Hegemon conference, then agreed after the tree speaker offered him a Mother Tree Heart Core.
• Three years later, Lister arrived at the Eternal Sea of Trees, where Qingteng welcomed him and the Tree of Eternity’s baptism improved his physical defense, regeneration, recovery, and toughness.
• Qingteng gave Lister the Mother Tree Heart Core and revealed that the conference would discuss forming a new faction, though she did not explain why the meeting’s purpose had changed.
• The Hegemons assembled, including a red-robed elder, Extreme Cold Hegemon Ewaer, a Mechanical Holy See archbishop, an insect queen, and a representative of the Divine Rise Galaxy.
• Qingteng presented three resource-rich galaxies as the basis for a new faction, but the red-robed elder and Ewaer rejected her proposal.

Lister learned that the Emerald Royal Court planned to seize the Seed of Eternity and use it to invade other planes, and the Lord of Qingteng asked him to protect the Tree of Eternity. Intrigued by the promised Power of the Plane, Lister agreed to consider helping in exchange for strict conditions.

• The Lord of Qingteng offered seven Eternal Branches to persuade the gathered Hegemons to join an alliance, but they left after learning the three galaxies lay beside the Emerald Royal Court's territory.
• The Lord of Qingteng revealed that the Emerald Royal Court wanted the Seed of Eternity to study cross-plane invasion, while the Tree of Eternity was due to produce the seed in 740 years.
• Lister initially refused to get involved, but reconsidered when the Lord of Qingteng offered him the right to cultivate the next Seed of Eternity and receive Power of the Plane.
• Lister demanded the Eternal Branch and galaxy coordinates immediately, access to some of the Eternal Sea of Trees' forces, and the right to withdraw if the seed was not delivered or the Emerald Royal Court attacked early.
• The Lord of Qingteng considered Lister's three conditions.

Lister agreed to protect the Seed of Eternity in exchange for the Lord of Qingteng’s support, then spent three hundred years strengthening the Merrick Civilization. After learning that Beta and Witchcraft were restricting Merrick’s growth, he traveled to the Babylon Galaxy, where Kavin was undergoing an evolution.

• Lister accepted the Lord of Qingteng’s contract to plant and protect the Seed of Eternity, gaining three star-core keys, access to the Eternal Sea of Trees’ forces, and a three-hundred-year-old token.
• Three hundred years later, Sariel reported that the rearmed Seventh Central Army had grown into a formidable force under the Merrick Civilization.
• Wang Yue told Lister that Beta and Witchcraft were increasing surveillance and restricting technology, and Lister instructed Quint to prepare for a future move without acting yet.
• Hoffman contacted Lister with news of an opportunity, and Lister set out for the Babylon Galaxy.
• Lister met Hoffman, who had restored his master puppet’s former strength, and learned that Kavin had entered a nurturing barrier to undergo his evolution.

Kavin completed his evolution into a Truth Sage and joined Lister, Wang Yue, and Hoffman in preparing to attack the Milky Way Galaxy with Boren Leviathan’s support. At the Leviathan Civilization’s core, Kavin found that Boren’s symbiotic mechanical core was already collapsing through a connection to a higher dimension, leaving the group facing an uncontrollable threat.

• Kavin completed his evolution, reached Level 181 as a Truth Sage, and emerged from the soul-nurturing space two months later.
• Lister, Kavin, Wang Yue, and Hoffman agreed to begin their revenge plan, and Wang Yue reported that Boren Leviathan would join them in exchange for a role in shaping the galaxy’s new rules.
• Lister explained that Kavin needed to decipher Boren’s unstable symbiotic mechanical core so it could be transported and detonated in the territories of the two great civilizations.
• The group traveled to the core beneath Leviathan’s first administrative planet, where Boren transferred authorization and information to Kavin.
• Kavin detected high-dimensional collapse on the mechanical core and warned that he could not control its collapse, only try to use it according to its rules.

Lister prepared to challenge the Witchcraft and Beta Civilizations by modifying a galaxy-scale bomb, gathering allies, and setting up forces in the WR Star Region. Sailuo learned that the Soul-Devouring Spider was evolving near the Beta Civilization and planned to turn it against the Merrick Civilization.

• Kavin estimated that he needed two months to modify the Leviathan core into a bomb whose theoretical blast could destroy half the Milky Way Galaxy, and Lister approved the plan after Kavin explained its likely effects.
• Lister learned from Quint that the Glimmer and Arcane Civilizations had joined Merrick's secret plan and that Merrick's forces were ready to mobilize.
• Lister ordered Sariel to clear the WR Star Region and Hunter to secretly build teleportation arrays for allied forces arriving from other galaxies.
• Sailuo told Pas Hawke to pressure the Merrick Civilization and make Lister strike first, then ordered Pas to redirect the evolving Soul-Devouring Spider toward Merrick's territory.

The Omega Civilization Army was destroyed after Pas sent subordinate fleets against the evolved Soul-Devouring Spider mother, which had reached the Overlord Tier. Pas confronted the mother himself and threatened it with a choice involving death or the Merrick Star Region, but its fear of Lister made its response unexpected.

• Colonel Shi'en led the Omega Civilization Army into the Soul-Devouring Spider territory, where the spiders quickly devoured three small ships and their crews.
• Shi'en’s remaining ships discovered the mother producing tier-eighteen offspring, but the swarm overwhelmed his fleet after he disobeyed Colonel Riana’s order to stay and observe.
• Pas ordered the Layas Civilization Army and Deep Science Civilization Army into the core area, and the Overlord-tier mother destroyed both fleets after they arrived.
• Pas went alone to attack the mother, broke several of its legs, and absorbed its soul mist into his armor’s crystal lattice.
• Pas offered the mother a choice between dying and laying eggs in the Merrick Star Region, then showed it a crystal ball containing an imitation of Lister’s aura.
• The mother trembled in fear at Lister’s aura, and Pas raised his fist again while asking whether it had chosen the first option.

Lister and Kavin detonated the companion mechanical core in the Beta Civilization's QR Star Region, unleashing a high-dimensional collapse that tore through the Milky Way. The blast began destroying nearby regions as the Beta and Witchcraft Civilizations raised emergency shields.

• The Soul-Devouring Spider mother fought Pas with poison, soul attacks, and its exploding venom sac, then fled when it sensed an approaching threat.
• Lister and Kavin prepared the companion mechanical core in the QR Star Region while Hoffman reported that Pas was confronting the Soul-Devouring Spider.
• Sailuo and Morris arrived and demanded that Lister and Kavin stop the core, but they continued stalling while it absorbed energy.
• Morris moved to attack, but Kavin locked in the detonation sequence, forcing Morris and Sailuo to withdraw.
• Lister and Kavin escaped to Leviathan's First Ruling Planet using Boren's temporary teleportation array as the core detonated.
• The high-dimensional collapse twisted the QR Star Region, destroyed the Beta Civilization's Third Ruling Planet, and annihilated parts of the Witchcraft Civilization's core region, prompting both civilizations to deploy emergency shields.
