Chapter Summaries

Father Tali Lang reflected on Tongxiang Civilization’s unity and wondered how Suguang Civilization had kept pace. Su Luo stocked a new Special Store with advanced, mostly unfinished technologies, and Mu Ri considered whether his civilization could develop them.

• Father Tali Lang surveyed Tongxiang Civilization’s thriving cities and recalled how its ancient contract had united its people and driven rapid development.
• Father Tali Lang set aside his questions about the Scholar and focused on preparing for a possible world-ending crisis.
• Su Luo updated the System Store with technologies from Yuncang Civilization and his own research, then began closely monitoring Origin Star.
• Mu Ri opened the new Special Store and found costly, mostly incomplete technologies for science, faith, and mana development.
• Mu Ri concluded that the offerings would test Suguang Civilization’s research capabilities and the talents of its people.

Mu Ri used technical problems from the special shop to accelerate Suguang Civilization’s development, while accumulated faith from other civilizations gathered on the moon and triggered new miracles. As signs of upheaval spread, two investors bet everything on a coming war.

• Mu Ri released a cheap mathematical conjecture, which an unknown young mathematician from Linyuan Civilization eventually proved and linked to Mana energy facilities.
• Mu Ri founded the Frontier Academy of Sciences and gathered researchers to solve the special shop’s technical problems; after five years, they had completed seven.
• Su Luo judged progress too slow because Origin Star had too few people and researchers, then withdrew his secondary subconscious minds and left the civilization to develop at its own pace.
• The unclaimed faith of other civilizations gathered on the moon, formed something called [Godless], and caused Gods to manifest across Origin Star.
• Old Li told a young man that the miracles and market trends signaled a new war, then recommended energy, defense, aerospace, metals, and pharmaceutical stocks.
• The young man and Old Li put all their money into their investments, and the young man offered to pay for the upgrade.

Mu Ri tracked a being that staged imitations of divine miracles and watched it grant wishes as the God Sect spread across the world. Su Luo gave Mu Ri his improved Heartfire, and Mu Ri concluded that the being made believers compete because granting wishes cost it something.

• Mu Ri caught the being intercepting real meteorites over a city in the Linyuan Civilization and pursued it as it staged imitations of historical miracles around the world.
• The being began answering prayers, granting wishes to selected people, and attracting a growing following that formed the God Sect.
• The God Sect spread rapidly, drawing converts away from established faiths and prompting Su Luo to take notice of the being's rise.
• Su Luo spent civilization points to send his complete, improved Heartfire into Mu Ri, giving him a god's authority.
• As only the most devoted believers received wishes, people competed through prolonged prayer and extreme sacrifices, while an official recruited priests to pray for him.
• Mu Ri told his subordinate that the being was rationing wishes to control believers and concluded that granting them came at a cost.

Mu Ri learned that the Living God had begun twisting wishes into cruel and extreme acts as the Suguang Civilization advanced and the God Sect’s influence spread. In Karen City, a femboy’s wish to announce his death triggered a citywide massacre that left hundreds of thousands dead.

• Mu Ri reviewed reports of wishes being granted through violent, malicious means and recalled the dangers of unquestioning devotion to the Living God.
• Three years after the Living God appeared, the Suguang Civilization built its first temporary base on another planet, advanced to the middle stage of the information age, and reached third place on the Civilization Rankings.
• In Karen City, a femboy who had run out of the drugs he needed to maintain his appearance prayed for doubled cultivation Talent and then asked the god to announce his death to the world.
• The Living God granted the wish, and the femboy jumped from a building, striking a clothesline that severed his head.
• Hundreds of thousands of golf balls flew across Karen City in the same manner, and the city became a scene of mass death.

Mu Ri tested and killed a man who claimed to have gained immortality and sought to become the God in the World. In the 145th year of the civilization calendar, the Divine Race appeared among the God Sect’s faithful, and God Hunters began hunting them across Origin Star.

• A man told Mu Ri that the Gods had created the world-ending crisis and that the God in the World was an immortal being who could grant wishes.
• The man claimed he had gained immortality, so Mu Ri crushed his lower body and healed him to test his limits.
• Mu Ri concluded the man had only weak immortality, then revealed his Divine Race nature and burned the man and his Power of Faith away with Black Flame.
• In the 145th year of the civilization calendar, living, intelligent members of the Divine Race appeared within the God Sect on Origin Star.
• Tracing Light opposed the Divine Race, and the nations were drawn into a new conflict under the banner of human supremacy.
• God Hunters emerged, using technology and Mana cultivation to track and kill members of the God Sect and the Divine Race.

As the Divine Race grew stronger and the war overwhelmed the God Hunters, Mu Ri found the Silver-White Book’s true form in his dream and received a call from an unknown voice. With the Living God twisting under the influence of faith and desire, Mu Ri prepared to confront the threat on the moon where it was being nurtured.

• The Divine Race continued its attacks, while Mu Ri’s [Nameless Fire] remained one of the few powers capable of truly killing its members.
• Mu Ri learned that researchers had uncovered the dream structure behind the [Dream Editing Technique] and volunteered to be their first test subject.
• Three months later, Mu Ri found the Silver-White Book in his dream and read a message saying he had earned the right to learn part of the truth.
• After more than ten hours, the book’s call connected, and a male voice greeted Mu Ri as its Child of Civilization.
• The Gods put the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse back to sleep, but the Divine Race kept growing stronger and the God Hunters struggled to contain it.
• Mu Ri stood above Changhe City and chose the second moon, where the Four Horsemen and the increasingly twisted Living God were located.

Mu Ri followed the Scholar’s plan to absorb the Power of Faith on Moon II, merge with the Living God, and take control of desire, becoming a true God. In the Pure White Space, Su Luo assessed Mu Ri’s new strength and resolved to continue his research in Continued Battle.

• Mu Ri prayed to the Living God, establishing a connection through the Power of Faith.
• The Scholar drew the immense Power of Faith condensed on Moon II into Mu Ri, and Mu Ri merged with the Living God’s authority.
• Mu Ri declared that humans were nobler than Gods and made himself the destination for humanity’s desires, suppressing them as he became a God.
• The observers in Battlefield No. 114514 witnessed Mu Ri’s transformation, and Su Luo judged that Mu Ri surpassed many Forbidden Existences on Origin Star.
• Su Luo lamented that he had run out of Civilization Points before he could fuse the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse’s authorities into Mu Ri, then decided to continue the work in Continued Battle.

After the District War ended, Su Luo chose to delay his own settlement but advised Han Song to take the immediate rewards as protection against losses in Continued Battle. Su Luo received first-place rewards, including a Legendary crown, and tested it on Kundina to see whether it suited her.

• Suguang Civilization rose to first place in the Civilization Rankings, ahead of Jiang Mengrui and Father Tali Lang's Tongxiang Civilization.
• The District War ended, and the system offered the group a choice between settling rewards immediately or waiting until Continued Battle ended.
• Su Luo explained that delayed settlement could mean smaller rewards if a civilization regressed, and he recommended that Han Song settle immediately.
• Su Luo received first-place rewards, drank an Attribute Potion that raised his Spirit and Strength, and examined the Goddess's Laurel Crown and an unknown communication item.
• Su Luo offered the crown to Kundina, who put it on and activated its effects while Su Luo assessed how well it suited her.

After the District War ended, Su Luo received Kundina’s enhanced crown and learned that her Talent let her stack item effects. The Continued Battle began as a civilization-development challenge, and Su Luo descended to a quiet copy of Origin Star where the old infrastructure remained but the other civilizations had vanished.

• Kundina enhanced Su Luo’s Goddess’s Laurel Crown to +11, filled it with eighteen pieces of Perfect-quality equipment, and gave them to him.
• Kundina privately explained that her Talent stacked item effects, allowing her to retain passive bonuses after taking off the crown.
• Beiximo offered Su Luo five Legendary items in exchange for the crown, but he declined and kept it.
• The District War ended, and the Continued Battle assigned Su Luo to battlefield 69 for a civilization-development challenge with a five-day subjective limit and rules against survivors attacking one another.
• Su Luo descended to Origin Star and found its infrastructure intact but inactive, with the other civilizations gone.

Su Luo surveyed the strange star system around Origin Star as the Continued Battle began, then let Tracing Light develop in peace. Ten years later, Mu Ri’s rule and steady investment in infrastructure had driven rapid growth, while the Four Horsemen remained suppressed on the moon.

• Su Luo observed the disc-shaped star, the strange worlds around it, and the nearby Civilization Development Sites before the Continued Battle began.
• Su Luo returned to the Pure White Space and found that the Acceleration Pool covered a three-million-kilometer radius around Origin Star.
• Su Luo let the opening period pass while Tracing Light developed without conflict.
• Mu Ri kept the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse suppressed on the moon as Tracing Light enjoyed ten peaceful years.
• Tracing Light’s infrastructure, economy, faith network, technology, and population grew, earning more Civilization Points and enabling further exchanges with the Scholar.

Mu Ri watched Qing Shi, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator from the Ling Sha Civilization, arrive near Origin Star to propose exchanges with the Suguang Civilization. After Mu Ri found no threat, Suguang welcomed Qing Shi and escorted him to a reception facility on Moon I.

• Mu Ri reflected on his uneasy but cooperative relationship with the Scholar while standing on the moon.
• Mu Ri noticed someone flying from the crimson planet toward Origin Star and ordered Suguang patrol forces to intercept the visitor.
• Su Luo sent his consciousness into the lower realm after learning that the visitor claimed to be a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
• Qing Shi introduced himself as a representative of the Ling Sha Civilization's one nation and four sects, offering greetings and proposing exchanges.
• Mu Ri examined Qing Shi and told the Suguang official receiving him that he could proceed with the visitor.
• The Suguang official invited Qing Shi to discuss matters at a reception facility on Moon I, and Qing Shi followed him there.

Su Luo learned that the Ling Sha Civilization had been invited to join an alliance of immortal-cultivation civilizations ahead of an unavoidable war, and Tracing Light agreed to consider an alliance. Years later, he recognized a Ling Sha Survivor and discovered that the man had once driven past Geyun Mountain shortly before entering the Survival World, leaving Su Luo shaken.

• Su Luo met Survivors from the Ling Sha Civilization and began communicating with them through a spacecraft and electronic link.
• A Ling Sha Survivor told Su Luo that an immortal-cultivation civilization had invited them to join an alliance because war was about to begin, and Su Luo said Tracing Light would welcome an alliance later.
• Over the next decade, Tracing Light and the Ling Sha Civilization cautiously discussed cooperation, though their negotiations made little progress.
• Su Luo encountered an ordinary-looking Ling Sha Survivor and asked whether he had been fifty-one when he entered the game and had driven past Geyun Mountain a month beforehand.
• The Survivor confirmed both details and asked whether Su Luo could read his memories, while Su Luo returned to the Pure White Space in shock.

Su Luo learned that Survival Worlds were copied as Trial Instance templates and that their Forbidden Existences could become Survivors, then used the discovery to aid Ling Sha Civilization. As Continued Battle remained quiet, the Survival System opened Spatial Rifts between Civilization Development Sites, and Su Luo sent the Frontier Academy of Sciences the Transmigrator Plan Based on Dream Technology.

• Su Luo recognized a Survivor as the driver who had once helped him in a Trial Instance and concluded that Survival Worlds supplied the Trial Instance templates.
• Su Luo questioned a man from Ling Sha Civilization about its powerful Survivors, learned that Di Yubing had fought a Supreme-evaluated powerhouse, and offered Ling Sha a team of Suguang experts to guide its industrialization as payment for the ride.
• Su Luo reasoned that Supreme evaluations came from Forbidden Existences fighting their Dungeon copies, while wondering about Ye Fan, the Blood Moon, and other mysteries.
• The Survival System announced Spatial Rifts as a special event, and Su Luo sent the Frontier Academy of Sciences the Transmigrator Plan Based on Dream Technology.
• Spatial Rifts opened throughout the Civilization Development Sites, revealing views into other civilizations.

After the Spatial Rifts opened, Tracing Light and the other civilizations exchanged devastating attacks, leaving only 112 of the original 166 alive. The Abyssal Depth Civilization then invited the survivors to discuss civilization development, and Suguang began investigating as Mu Ri’s former residence served as its meeting room.

• Fifty of the eighty-seven rifts unleashed attacks, and Tracing Light responded with spells, lasers, and mana cannons as civilizations entered an unplanned war.
• Over six months, the rift attacks eliminated fifty-four civilizations, leaving 112 survivors in a silent standoff.
• The Demon Prince of the Abyssal Depth Civilization invited the survivors to Civilization Development Site No. 37 to discuss the next stage of civilization development.
• Suguang’s intelligence system investigated the Abyssal Depth Civilization and reviewed footage of the Demon Prince delivering a final blow to a nearly destroyed civilization.
• Mu Ri’s longtime residence in Changhe City had become a meeting room for matters concerning Suguang’s future.

Tracing Light’s leaders reviewed the threats and powerful civilizations around them, concluding that their civilization remained dangerously weak. They kept the Transmigrator Project as their top priority, sent a National Guardian Mage to the Demon Prince’s conference, and prepared to enter the war while pursuing neutrality.

• A white-haired National Guardian Mage warned that the Linyuan Civilization’s invitation might be a trap, while a military representative argued that Tracing Light needed to attend.
• The military representative showed evidence of enormous Zerg clusters multiplying in space and warned that other civilizations could possess similar methods of mass expansion.
• The leaders learned that an expanding, indestructible Gray Fog had already consumed two Civilization Development Sites and could engulf Origin Star in ten years.
• The research representative reported that a mechanical civilization was nearing the late Information Age, while Tracing Light might need twenty years to reach the same stage without a major war.
• After several hours of discussion, a National Guardian Mage made the Transmigrator Project their highest priority and volunteered to lead the team to the Demon Prince’s civilization conference.
• The National Guardian Mage told the leaders to prepare for war and handle diplomacy carefully while trying to remain neutral.

Lin Yuan decided to leave his post as president of the Frontier Academy of Sciences and join the Transmigrator Project to study other civilizations. Meanwhile, Su Luo began dismantling Yun Xiaoxiao to examine its nanobot body using his newly acquired knowledge.

• The scientific research representative returned to the Frontier Academy of Sciences and reflected on the Transmigrator Project and his wish to learn mathematics in other civilizations.
• Lin Yuan told Xiao San to arrange an election for the next president, threatening to appoint him if he refused.
• Su Luo restrained Yun Xiaoxiao and removed its mechanical shell, revealing a body composed of more than a trillion nanobots.
• Yun Xiaoxiao screamed and struggled as Su Luo examined its body, intending to learn from its interstellar technology.

Su Luo examined Yun Xiaoxiao’s distributed energy-storage system and asked for a copy of its control technology in exchange for designing a magic-electric hybrid computer. At Civilization Development Site No. 37, Tracing Light’s exchange delegation waited as the Elf Race suddenly unleashed a continent-wide spell that annihilated the Abyssal Depth forces and left Lin Yuan with only his soul.

• Su Luo took Yun Xiaoxiao apart to study the nanoscale units that stored energy throughout the body, then let Yun Xiaoxiao reassemble.
• Su Luo asked Yun Xiaoxiao to copy the body’s control system and promised to design a magic-electric hybrid computer in return.
• Su Luo examined Source Essence compressed by [Storage Conversion] and considered how it could improve his Inner Circulation method.
• At Civilization Development Site No. 37, Lin Yuan and Tracing Light’s exchange delegation waited on dangerous ground while other civilizations gathered for the meeting.
• More than ten thousand elves launched a Nature Magic spell that purified the continent, destroyed its deformed creatures and Curses, and turned the Abyssal Depth members to ash.
• The spell’s shock wave killed Lin Yuan’s body, leaving him as a soul who wondered whether the Ming Dynasty and Yuanshen had a grudge.

The Demon Prince killed an elf despite the Life Tree’s intervention, then announced that the second round would reduce the 112 remaining civilizations to thirty. Su Luo saw the system add a War Delight event and achievements that rewarded civilizations for destroying others.

• The Demon Prince emerged from the Spatial Rift and attacked an elf as she tried to escape.
• The Life Tree fought the Demon Prince, but he killed the elf and left with half her body.
• The Demon Prince addressed the gathered delegations and declared that only thirty of the 112 civilizations would survive the second round.
• Su Luo checked the new War Delight event and found achievements offering Civilization Points for destroying civilizations.

Su Luo strengthened himself and discovered that Yun Xiaoxiao had developed a consciousness, while wars spread among the civilizations at Development Site No. 37. The Zerg launched an assault on the entire star system, and Lin Yuan awakened in an Elf body as the Transmigrator Project began.

• Su Luo raised his attributes with the Source Essence Circulation Technique, then used Tracing Light's mages' data to improve it further.
• Su Luo discovered that Yun Xiaoxiao had developed a tiny consciousness and wondered how it had formed.
• After the meeting at Development Site No. 37, civilizations formed rival alliances and began fighting, while Tracing Light joined several alliances but failed to build a human alliance.
• The Zerg emerged from space in vast numbers and began waging war on the entire star system.
• Lin Yuan's memory seal and disguise template were removed, and he awakened in the body of an Elf infant as the Transmigrator Project began.

Lin Yuan decided to pursue the Elf throne while Tracing Light became a powerful neutral force during the second phase of the war. With a spreading fog threatening Origin Star, Tracing Light prepared to move the planet and discussed the risks and complications involved.

• Lin Yuan learned that more than a dozen transmigrators had been killed after a civilization with future-foreseeing methods exposed them, and he vowed to bring the Elf Race under Tracing Light by becoming elf king.
• Over ten years, Tracing Light grew into the largest neutral power, trading and cooperating with other groups while defending Origin Star from massive Zerg swarms.
• Tracing Light determined that a spreading fog would reach Origin Star in six months and agreed to move the planet by building thrusters.
• At a meeting in Changhe City, officials reported on the transmigrators, including the former former director of the Frontier Research Institute becoming the Elf crown prince, and ordered them to watch for trouble during the move.
• Tracing Light's diplomats said other civilizations wanted military protection in exchange for joining the Research Alliance, while one attendee angrily demanded that they be killed.
