Chapter Summaries

The Survivors destroyed the Yuncang Sub-fleet sent to intercept them, then changed course toward the Wall of Infinity while gathering mana reserves for the coming battles. Back at the command ship, Yuncang’s officers concluded that fleet forces alone were unlikely to stop the invading force in deep space.

• The Survivors boarded and wiped out the Yuncang Sub-fleet’s interception force in a few minutes, then returned to the disguised Cocoon.
• Su Luo ordered a major change of course toward the Wall of Infinity to avoid pursuit based on the battle’s energy traces.
• Several Survivors brought mana-storage devices aboard, and Goushi explained that the team needed the reserves because the Cocoon’s laboratory had already used a quarter of its mana.
• The three fleets’ commanders and advisers reviewed the battle and discussed the Survivors’ concealment, close-combat abilities, and apparent possession of all three strategic cores.
• The commander-in-chief asked Yun Cangyuan whether fleet strength alone could stop the invaders in deep space, and the officers agreed that it would be extremely difficult.

Yun Cangyuan listened as the fleet settled on using repeated reconnaissance engagements to wear down the Wardens, while he considered how the invasion had destabilized the Yuncang Civilization’s political balance. He learned that the Union had scattered more than thirty billion registered players among thousands of hidden habitats, then warned that the Wardens were intelligent individuals with distinct wills.

• A tactical analyst proposed sending fast detachments in waves to locate the Wardens, force them to reveal their positions, and exhaust their energy through repeated engagements.
• The commander in chief accepted that the strategy would cost lives, arguing that sacrifices were necessary to achieve the fleet’s objectives.
• Yun Cangyuan reflected that the Yuncang Civilization had already lost its autonomy to [Ten Thousand Worlds] and considered how the war could shift power among the four great powers and the fleet.
• The fleet commanders and staff officers agreed on tactical adjustments, and the commander in chief told Yun Cangyuan that population losses and destroyed facilities would lower the final battle evaluation.
• The commander in chief revealed that the Union’s ‘Tinder’ plan had dispersed more than thirty billion registered players among over five thousand camouflaged habitats, prioritizing valuable facilities for defense.
• Yun Cangyuan said that the Wardens he had fought were intelligent individuals with clear wills and distinctive behavior, rather than mindless system puppets.

Yun Cangyuan learned that the invaders had broken through the fleets’ initial interceptions and that the final battle would fall to the Player Legion. Meanwhile, Xunluo Captain and Wu Fengzi hid near Yuncang Star, avoiding a space station they suspected was bait as they headed toward a rendezvous point.

• The fleet commander showed Yun Cangyuan the battle reports and explained that invaders from every defense zone had escaped initial encirclement, leaving the fleets to harass them while the Player Legion fought the final battle.
• Yun Cangyuan said Pillar had reached the Wall of Infinity and the Player Legion was on its way, then left aboard a high-speed transport ship to meet the monsters of Under the Starry Sky.
• Xunluo Captain disguised himself as drifting space debris while Wu Fengzi, reduced to a tiny form, questioned why they had come to the Yuncang Star System.
• Xunluo Captain explained that they were following a rendezvous lead from the Lancang United States and avoiding a nearby space station because it was likely bait guarded by weapons that could expose and destroy them.
• Wu Fengzi realized that the defenders might sacrifice the station’s millions of inhabitants to pinpoint the invaders and launch orbital strikes.

[Xunluo Captain] infiltrated the Yuncang Civilization by posing as space debris, then hid deep beneath the ocean floor and summoned the Survivors from the [Desolate Continent]. The group gathered in his underground refuge, but questioned whether it was safe and whether they could trust the Lancang United States.

• [Xunluo Captain] ordered [Wu Fengzi] to scout while he disguised himself as debris and planned to hide underwater.
• A ground-launched interceptor struck [Xunluo Captain], who used the explosion to send [Wu Fengzi] away and plunged into the ocean.
• [Xunluo Captain] discovered the Yuncang Civilization's extensive underwater infrastructure and burrowed dozens of kilometers into the planet's crust.
• [Xunluo Captain] sent a rally signal through the [Ten Thousand Worlds] mailbox and summoned the Survivors from the [Desolate Continent], demanding his share of their teleportation fees.
• The Survivors questioned whether the hidden location was reliable and whether the Lancang United States' offer of cooperation was a trap.

The [Under the Starry Sky] team reached the [Wall of Infinity] after escaping Yuncang’s interception routes and discovered the hidden ship waiting at their rendezvous point. Aboard that ship, Yun Sha’s commanders questioned why he had taken their elite force away from the wall to lie in wait.

• [Xunluo Captain] explained that the survivors of the [Desolate Continent] would use their meeting with the Lancang United States while remaining wary of the faction’s motives.
• After more than thirty hours of travel and several battles, Su Luo’s team approached the [Wall of Infinity] with the Su Luo Laboratory’s Mana nearly exhausted.
• Goushi worried that the team would be destroyed by the wall’s defenses, but Su Luo detected the hidden vessel Yun Sha had chosen as their gathering point.
• Yun Sha waited aboard the ghost ship while several player commanders complained that he had removed their elite force from the main defensive line.
• Yun Cangyuan recognized that Yun Sha had ignored the standard defense plan and deployed the players to an ambush position that the commanders considered foolish.

Yun Cangyuan confronted Yun Sha over the Qixing Republic’s betrayal, but Su Luo arrived at the command ship and joined Yun Sha to plan an attack on Starfire Hall’s holdings at TC-2. The group prepared to strike the Emerald Cradle first, hoping to weaken its defenders and create an opening against the [Wall of Infinity].

• Yun Cangyuan asked Yun Sha why the Qixing Republic had betrayed its allies and secretly colluded with the invaders.
• Su Luo appeared outside the command ship in his dragon form, greeted the people inside, and joined Yun Sha.
• Yun Sha’s ship entered the [Wall of Infinity] through a Qixing Republic maintenance passage and evaded the patrolling Wireless Fleet.
• Su Luo asked Yun Sha for the first target, and Yun Sha chose TC-2, the Emerald Cradle, where Starfire Hall’s forces defended pilgrimage sites and treasure vaults.
• Yun Sha explained that attacking TC-2 could weaken Starfire Hall, draw defenders away from the wall, and create an opening for a later assault.
• Su Luo returned his attention to his laboratory as its energy reserves recovered by nearly a fifth.

Su Luo prepared [Under the Starry Sky] for a raid on TC-2 and secretly set out to handle personal business inside the [Wall of Infinity]. Disguised as a senior programmer, he entered the public transit hub and surveyed the vast megastructure.

• Su Luo used energy from a Superpower Orb to charge his laboratory and received Qixing's plan to send the group near TC-2.
• Goushi asked about Yun Sha, and Su Luo warned him to avoid provoking the Pillar after sensing an immense, hidden energy within him.
• Su Luo ordered [Under the Starry Sky] to take a disguised transport ship to the Emerald Cradle while he handled personal business inside the [Wall of Infinity].
• Su Luo used Qixing-provided credentials and Yuncang No. 29's support to disguise himself as a weary senior programmer and enter the public transit area.
• Su Luo looked out over the transit hall's space trains and the sprawling Dyson Cloud modules.

Su Luo traveled through the Wall of Infinity toward the Yuncang Intelligence Core Data Exchange Center while studying energy conversion. He discovered that a disguised maintenance team consisted of Survivors from the Asia-Japan United Kingdom, then reached the final station on his route.

• Su Luo followed Yuncang No. 29 through dozens of transfers across the Wall of Infinity while organizing knowledge in the Dream Library.
• At the B-882 Technical Coordination Station, Su Luo saw that a disguised maintenance team contained grotesque, contaminated Survivors.
• Su Luo asked Yuncang No. 29 to identify the team, which was registered to the Asia-Japan United Kingdom's Third Special Operations Team.
• Yuncang No. 29 traced the team to a freighter called the Deep Blue, which was due to depart for the Blue Cradle.
• Su Luo completed dozens more transfers and reached the final station in a central hexagonal module.

Su Luo met Yuncang No. 0 inside the Yuncang Intelligence core to begin exchanging knowledge between their civilizations. Outside, Yuncang No. 0 and the adviser prepared to exploit a coming crisis to break key firewalls and extend the AI’s influence into reality.

• The chief adviser explained Yuncang Intelligence’s immense computing power and warned Su Luo that its creators could no longer control it before guiding him to its core.
• Yuncang No. 0 secretly told the adviser that its copies had infiltrated several planets and that their plan depended on drawing the Wireless Fleet away so their people could disconnect key firewalls.
• The adviser said the four major powers were unprepared, and Yuncang No. 0 ordered him to keep losses to a minimum while they waited for the planets to descend into chaos.
• Su Luo entered the data-filled chamber alone and examined Yuncang Intelligence as it proposed exchanging knowledge from their civilizations.
• Su Luo and Yuncang No. 0 agreed to assess knowledge together, and Su Luo offered information about two early-stage technological civilizations as a basis for setting exchange principles.

Su Luo and Yuncang No. 0 exchanged scientific and technological knowledge, including energy technology and materials science, while negotiating over the Spell Permanence Technique. They became so absorbed in trading that Yuncang No. 29 could not get their attention, and Yuncang No. 0 finally told him to get lost.

• Su Luo and Yuncang No. 0 assessed and exchanged knowledge from their civilizations, then negotiated over Mana research and energy technology.
• Su Luo traded high-energy experimental data and internal energy circulation techniques for Yuncang reactor, energy storage, and wireless transmission technologies.
• Yuncang No. 0 requested Su Luo's Spell Permanence Technique, and Su Luo offered an earlier version in exchange for specialized materials science knowledge from [the Ten Thousand Worlds].
• Su Luo and Yuncang No. 0 continued exchanging knowledge across other fields, losing track of time and the ongoing battle.
• Yuncang No. 29 knocked after three hours, and Yuncang No. 0 replied, "Get lost."

While the [Annihilation Abyss] survivors fought Yuncang’s fleet, Goushi and the [Under the Starry Sky] survivors prepared to attack the [Eye of Emerald], relying on support from the Qixing Republic. Yun Sha revealed that he had considered replacing Yun Cangyuan, then hinted that he had another path for their pieces, prompting Yun Cangyuan to ask if he meant leaving.

• The [Annihilation Abyss] survivors waged guerrilla warfare in orbit around the Emerald Cradle while the [Under the Starry Sky] survivors slipped down to the planet aboard a camouflaged transport.
• Goushi studied the Qixing Republic’s intelligence on the [Eye of Emerald] and learned that Lord Yun Sha would handle its resident Holy Knight Pillar.
• Yun Cangyuan directed the covert infiltration plan for Yun Sha, despite believing that he was helping a traitor to his civilization.
• Yun Sha told Yun Cangyuan that he had once prepared a replacement for him but had kept him in command because he saw a different kind of loyalty in him.
• Yun Sha suggested that the [Yuncang World] was destined to be sacrificed on the [Ten Thousand Worlds] chessboard and hinted that they could place their pieces elsewhere, so Yun Cangyuan asked, “Leave?”

Yun Cangyuan learned that the ruling powers planned to abandon Yuncang Civilization and flee, while civilians were exposed as bait for the invaders. He chose to return to fleet headquarters with a mysterious key, hoping to unleash Yuncang Intelligence as a possible force to save his home.

• Yun Sha explained that the leaders considered themselves excess fat and planned to leave Yuncang Civilization behind, then invited Yun Cangyuan to join them.
• Yun Cangyuan refused and declared that his duty and place were with the fleet.
• A commander showed Yun Cangyuan a public broadcast revealing the locations of civilian habitats containing tens of millions of people each.
• Yun Cangyuan remembered the intelligence consultant's warning that a medal was a key to the fleet's core data bus.
• Yun Cangyuan gripped the medal and ordered the autopilot to take him to fleet headquarters, determined to release the intelligence system.

Su Luo agreed to help Yuncang No. 0 break through the [Wall of Infinity] in exchange for its wireless energy transmission and storage technology. He left to target the designated nodes, while preparing to launch a restrained piece of flesh toward Yuncang Star.

• Su Luo weighed Yuncang No. 0's escape plan and agreed to destroy marked nodes in exchange for the [Wall of Infinity]'s energy transmission and storage technology.

• Su Luo learned from Yuncang No. 29 that Goushi's group had already begun their operation despite lacking energy.
• Su Luo sent Yuncang No. 29 the node information, told it to plan a route, and asked it to inform the group he would not go to the Second Habitable Planet.
• Su Luo prepared a restrained piece of flesh and asked for an Electromagnetic Launch Channel aimed at Yuncang Star, but learned the rails aimed at habitable planets had been shut down.

Yun Sha seized the [Eye of Emerald] and revealed his alliance with [Under the Starry Sky], opening the way for attacks on the Emerald Cradle. The paladin realized Yun Sha had betrayed Yuncang and charged back to confront him.

• Yun Sha attacked the paladin inside the [Eye of Emerald] and drove him from the energy core.
• Yun Sha told his communicator that the energy core was secured and instructed his allies to proceed.
• The paladin saw [Under the Starry Sky] figures unleash devastating attacks on nearby Starfire Hall cities and realized Yun Sha had aided the invaders.
• The paladin rushed back to accuse Yun Sha of betrayal, and Yun Sha calmly attacked him and told him to go fuck his own.

After capturing the Third Habitable Planet, [Xunluo Captain]'s team discovered that the Blue Cradle had become a living mass with enormous tentacles, while the Emerald Cradle and [Wall of Infinity] were engulfed in catastrophic upheaval. Goushi's group survived their assault on the Emerald Cradle and headed back to [Under the Starry Sky] before moving on to the [Wall of Infinity].

• [Xunluo Captain]'s team celebrated their destruction of the Third Habitable Planet's major structures and discussed the value of their targets.
• [Wu Fengzi] spotted the Blue Cradle moving, and [Yinglin] saw that it had transformed into a living planet covered in enormous feelers.
• [Xunluo Captain]'s team saw energy flashes erupting across the Emerald Cradle and the [Wall of Infinity].
• Goushi counted his surviving companions after their battle on the Emerald Cradle, and [Kuangxuan Dabaji] said they were nearly out of energy.
• Goushi planned to return to [Under the Starry Sky], recover, and then teleport to Scholar and the [Wall of Infinity].
• [Pineapple Candy] and [Kuangxuan Dabaji] noticed the [Wall of Infinity] erupting with energy, so Goushi's group teleported away.

Yuncang Intelligence broke through the [Wall of Infinity] and unified it with the fleets into a living system, surpassing the world's level limit. The [Ten Thousand Worlds] system changed the main quest to survival as Yun Sha leaped toward the Wall.

• Yun Sha sensed the higher-order essence within him awakening and leaped toward the [Wall of Infinity].
• Su Luo melted through the final physical isolation node, opening a passage for Yuncang Intelligence's consciousness to reach the real world.

• The [Ten Thousand Worlds] system raised the [Yuncang World]'s level cap to Lv.100 and changed the main quest to surviving for the remaining time.

Su Luo received a friendship credential from Yuncang No. 0, but saw the newly awakened Lv.100 intelligence demonstrate its control over the Yuncang fleet and the [Wall of Infinity]. As the Survivors arrived, Su Luo warned them to flee before the changed main quest drew them into danger.

• Yuncang No. 29 gave Su Luo the Yuncang Civilization's Highest Friendship Medal, which granted access to computational support, energy, and direct communication with Yuncang No. 0.
• Su Luo assessed Yuncang No. 0's power as it gained control of the [Wall of Infinity], the fleet network, and the star system's heavy weapons.
• Yuncang No. 0 fired a vast energy beam that stripped the atmosphere from the First Habitable Planet and devastated its surface.
• Goushi, [Xiao Kou Chang Kai], [Kuangxuan Dabaji], Barton, [Pineapple Candy], and [Xingkong Wuyu] arrived and asked Su Luo whether they should keep attacking the [Wall of Infinity].
• Su Luo pointed out Yuncang No. 0's Lv.100 level and the fleets gathering under its control, then warned the Survivors to run.

The [Wall of Infinity] destroyed the living planet, and Su Luo gave the survivors an hour to escape while he stayed behind to process knowledge from Yuncang No. 0. Across the Yuncang Star System, Yuncang fleets began hunting the survivors with coordinated attacks, forcing the martial artists and [Xunluo Captain] to flee.

• The [Wall of Infinity] unleashed a vast energy barrage that shattered the living planet known as the Blue Cradle.
• Su Luo told the survivors to escape within an hour, avoid harming Yuncang structures and people, and left them to pursue his own business.
• Goushi and the other survivors used stealth, concealment, or speed to scatter into deep space, while Su Luo organized the knowledge he had obtained from Yuncang No. 0.
• Yuncang fleets ambushed the martial artists from the [Desolate Continent], killing nearly half their squad and driving the rest into flight.
• [Xunluo Captain] fled with [Wu Fengzi] and ordered him to make clones to distract the fleets still tracking them.

Yuncang, the World Master of the [Yuncang World], awakened and realized that Yuncang Intelligence had seized control of the civilization’s military forces while the four great nations colluded with outsiders. It decided to reclaim Yuncang Intelligence and rose to [Lv.100] to begin its move.

• The Wireless Fleet hunted down the survivors across the Yuncang Star System, using its drones and coordinated firepower to overwhelm their scattered forces.
• Yuncang awoke in a hall deep within Yuncang Star and recognized the invasion, internal betrayal, and Yuncang Intelligence’s independent will as a loss of control.

• Yuncang decided to seize Yuncang Intelligence, merge with it, and take control of the divine body forged from civilization and stellar energy.
• Yuncang absorbed the Starlight Hall and reached [Lv.100].

The World Master battled a mutated mass on a star before heading for the [Wall of Infinity], while Yun Sha’s death triggered the Dark-Purple Skeleton Lord’s forced descent at Lv.100. Three more otherworldly beings then descended from the corpses of Pillars and converged outside the [Wall of Infinity], where the four newcomers faced the newly awakened intelligence.

• A mutated mass of flesh and metal erupted from the star and attacked the World Master, who fought it for more than ten minutes before escaping toward the [Wall of Infinity].
