Chapter Summaries

Su Luo lured A Mu Yingdou into a handshake and detonated the source essence crystals packed inside his body, wiping out himself and the nearby fighters in a massive explosion. Su Luo slowly regenerated afterward, while A Mu Yingdou escaped and the system still did not consider Su Luo close enough to death to trigger his teleportation scroll.

• Su Luo waited for the Martial God to return, then learned that A Mu Yingdou had been sent by a time-type Survivor.
• Su Luo deduced that A Mu Yingdou was focused on fighting him because someone was backing him, and the two clasped hands before their confrontation.
• Su Luo told A Mu Yingdou to open his mouth and detonated the source essence crystals packed inside his body, destroying the nearby planets' atmospheres and killing the Martial God and the Loose Immortal.
• A small piece of Su Luo's enhanced Talisman of Favor survived the blast, and a lump of flesh containing his consciousness began absorbing energy to regenerate.
• Su Luo found no trace of A Mu Yingdou and concluded that he had escaped, then slowly formed a low-stat body and reflected that Survivors were difficult to kill.

Su Luo was ambushed and sealed by [Silence] and a woman while he was weakened, despite the battle around him still being underway. The chapter then revealed Sarah, whose Sealing Talent had helped make the ambush possible.

• The chapter introduced Sarah, a Survivor with a Sealing Concept Talent who had joined a Great Being's faction.

Sarah reviewed her cooperation with [Silence] and realized he had sent three Survivors into a black hole, where their consciousness bans prevented them from escaping. Meanwhile, Xiao Luo noticed that Su Luo's main consciousness ignored urgent warnings from the Dream World's monitoring system.

• Sarah banned Mu Ri's recovery effect, then returned to her Pure White Space and suppressed her own boredom.
• Sarah reviewed how she had helped [Silence], including sealing the Scholar's consciousness before teleportation.

• Xiao Luo noticed that Su Luo ignored the warning and the operation logs, and recognized that something was wrong.

Xiao Luo was caught in a spatial distortion that sent him into a black hole, while [Silence] returned to the Pure White Space and prepared his twelfth observation of the Continued Battle. Before beginning, he reviewed the first seven of his prior observations and the plans and setbacks they revealed.

• Xiao Luo took control of his body and prepared to commit suicide to escape the abnormal environment, but halted when he saw a spatial vortex forming on the chessboard.
• Xiao Luo activated the [Genli Zhi Mo], but the distortion tore his body apart and pulled him into a black hole; he recorded data as he departed.
• [Silence] returned to the Pure White Space and used his Talent to review the timeline observations he had made during the Continued Battle.
• [Silence] created a folder for his twelfth observation, then reviewed the first six observations, recalling his alliances, dealings with Sarah, and Tracing Light killing him.

• Su Luo realized that his deployments of Yun Xiaoxiao and A Mu Yingdou had been consuming Civilization Points while he was absent.
• Su Luo discovered that more than two years had passed on Origin Star during his time in the Black Hole and the Pure White Space.

After escaping the time-element Survivor’s scheme, Su Luo recovered and decided to stay out of sight while taking a more active role in the Continued Battle. Meanwhile, Yun Xiaoxiao infiltrated the Mechanical Civilization but discovered that the citizen whose consciousness he had taken over was a poorly educated, low-status expendable.

• Su Luo checked that 200,000 Civilization Points remained, sent a secondary subconscious to find Yun Xiaoxiao, and began restoring his soul.
• Su Luo concluded that the time-element Survivor’s plan had contained a flaw and decided to avoid the battlefield while secretly influencing the larger conflict.
• After the great battle, Tracing Light emerged as the strongest civilization and formed research and military alliances that gave it a powerful advantage in the Continued Battle.
• Yun Xiaoxiao hid his body and infiltrated the Mechanical Civilization by taking over one of its citizens, believing Su Luo was still alive because Tracing Light retained its advantage.
• Yun Xiaoxiao found that his new identity was a fifth-class citizen with incomplete basic education, poor knowledge assessments, and a recommended assignment to expendable positions.

Yun Xiaoxiao struggled to advance in the Mechanical Civilization through study, while [Silence] managed the twelfth timeline and began weakening Tracing Light’s hegemonic position. The chapter ended with [Silence] directing his Child of Civilization to cooperate with Tracing Light, seek its technology, and send spies.

• Yun Xiaoxiao traded her Fifth Rank assets for a chance to study as a Sixth Rank citizen, hoping to rise to the First Rank and investigate the Mechanical Civilization’s technology.
• After nearly three years of study, Yun Xiaoxiao realized she lacked the creativity to pass the highest exams and fell asleep in the virtual library as her reeducation deadline approached.
• A male voice reached Yun Xiaoxiao in a dream, announced that the Transmigrator Project had restarted, and told her to investigate the Mechanical Civilization.
• [Silence] reviewed the twelfth timeline, noting that he had sealed the Mechanical Civilization’s Survivor and A Mu Yingdou and that Tracing Light’s influence was beginning to weaken.
• [Silence] told his Child of Civilization to deepen cooperation with Tracing Light, seek technical assistance, send spies, and heed the future information he shared.

After surviving the black hole, Su Luo assessed [Silence] and planned moves to protect Tracing Light, ease pressure from the Zerg, and rebuild military strength. Two hundred years into Tracing Light’s calendar, the civilization stood as the leading power in a close-knit alliance of nineteen civilizations.

• Su Luo gathered intelligence through the [Transmigrator Project] and concluded that [Silence] favored short-term gains and might not have seen the project’s full future scope.
• Su Luo identified [Silence]'s home as the [Silent Civilization] but kept that information from Tracing Light’s leaders and planned to wake Mu Ri while staying hidden.
• Su Luo resolved to contact intelligent Zerg and cooperate with them to reduce the insect tides threatening Tracing Light.
• Su Luo decided to change the Lord of the Undead’s Godhead’s manifestation and mass-produce troops, then looked toward the Blood Moon in his Dreamscape for a suitable candidate.
• In the two hundredth year of Tracing Light’s calendar, twenty-one civilizations remained, and Tracing Light led the nineteen-member Pre-Civilization Alliance while expanding its study of supernatural systems.

Tracing Light’s leaders debated whether to wage war against the rapidly developing Silent Civilization, then turned their attention to abnormal threats appearing across the galaxy. They left the meeting facing the danger of the [Gate of Aberrants], which continually produced nearly immortal monsters.

• The Frontier Academy of Sciences director explained that other civilizations’ Survivors were accelerating their development and creating pseudo-ultra-high-combat-power units, causing Tracing Light’s influence to decline.
• Military representatives accused the Silent Civilization of possible ties to the Zerg and argued for war, while officials disagreed over the risks and costs.
• The oldest nation-protecting mage ended the argument, saying Tracing Light did not need war to prove its strength.
• The director showed the leaders a blood-red [Gate of Aberrants] that absorbed energy and supernatural resources, then released bizarre monsters with a degree of immortality.

Mu Ri assessed Tracing Light’s political situation and concluded it should avoid war with the Silent Civilization while continuing to advance technologically. Meanwhile, Su Luo’s exam elevated Yun Xiaoxiao to first-class citizen of the Mechanical Civilization, giving her broad access to its knowledge and research.

• After the meeting, the military representative asked the nation-guarding mage when His Majesty would awaken and whether there was news of the Scholar, but the mage had no definite answers.
• The nation-guarding mage reported the meeting’s developments to Mu Ri, who told him to keep watching and avoid rash action.
• Mu Ri reviewed the Silent Civilization’s spies and reasoned that Tracing Light should not go to war, but should progress rapidly into the late Information Age.
• Su Luo completed Yun Xiaoxiao’s exam in the dream, making Yun Xiaoxiao a first-class citizen of the Mechanical Civilization.
• Yun Xiaoxiao explored the Mechanical Civilization’s rank structure and began quietly stealing technology with her newly granted access.

Yun Xiaoxiao rose to become a leading Scholar in the Mechanical Civilization, while secretly relying on research from Tracing Light. At a sudden meeting attended by the Chief, the Archon, leading Scholars, and domain lords, the Archon began revealing what had happened behind an earlier civilization-wide decision about Tracing Light.

• Yun Xiaoxiao used research supplied by Tracing Light to advance her career until she became a leading Scholar with access to the Mechanical Civilization’s leaders and fleet information.
• An assistant summoned Yun Xiaoxiao to an unexpected meeting called by the Chief, and she alerted the intelligent auxiliary system to prepare support from Tracing Light.
• Yun Xiaoxiao arrived at the central council hall and saw more than thirty leading Scholars and over ninety domain lords gathered there.
• The Chief opened the meeting, and several leading Scholars complained that they had been brought there by force.
• The Archon appeared in person and said the matter concerned the survival of their civilization, then raised the earlier vote about the Mechanical Civilization’s stance toward Tracing Light.

Yun Xiaoxiao discovered that most of the Mechanical Civilization’s leaders were copies of the Survivor in Black Hole, while [Silence] reviewed a timeline in which Tracing Light remained far ahead of the other civilizations. The chapter left [Silence] considering whether a new war was the only way to slow Tracing Light’s rise.

• The consul abolished the Mechanical Civilization’s civilization-wide voting system and announced plans to join the All-Civilization Alliance led by Tracing Light.
• Xiao Luo used computing power from Yun Xiaoxiao’s main body and Tracing Light to see through the data shells of the leaders in the hall.
• Su Luo recognized that eighty-five domain lords and the consul were copies of the Survivor in Black Hole, and told Yun Xiaoxiao to focus on research and relationships instead of seeking power.
• [Silence] finished his sixteenth timeline observation and found that the Silent Civilization and Sarah’s Jianjia Civilization would rank second and fifth in the alliance ten years later.
• [Silence] concluded that Tracing Light’s rapid development would be difficult to match unless a new war could draw other civilizations into a campaign against it.

[Silence] assessed the civilizations and planned to use the Mechanical Civilization, the Zerg, and the Gate of Aberrants to fulfill his contract against Tracing Light. Meanwhile, Su Luo sent a Clone to the Mechanical Civilization’s black hole to try to free its Survivor from [Silence]’s control, but he could not locate the Survivor or A Mu Yingdou inside.

• [Silence] concluded that Tracing Light remained too stable to defeat directly and shifted his plans toward the Mechanical Civilization, the Zerg, and the Gate of Aberrants.
• [Silence] arranged to involve Sarah in his plans for the Mechanical Civilization and counted on the Zerg and the Gate of Aberrants as future weapons.
• Su Luo created Xiao Xiao Luo, a Clone carrying a Soul Servant, and sent it to stir up trouble in the Mechanical Civilization.
• Xiao Xiao Luo reached the black hole where A Mu Yingdou and the Mechanical Civilization’s Survivor were sealed, but Su Luo could not determine their location inside it.
• Su Luo observed that anything entering a real black hole vanished from sight, even before crossing its event horizon.

Su Luo used warped photon data and Gravity Vision to locate people trapped near a black hole, then ordered Xiao Xiao Luo to bring Tracing Light’s warships and fire lasers into the accretion disk. Meanwhile, Tracing Light visited the Heavenly Star Zerg openly, revealing its identity and raising questions about the group’s ties to Mechanical Civilization.

• Su Luo analyzed Xiao Xiao Luo’s recorded photon data and gravitational readings to determine where the missing people were near the black hole.
• Su Luo directed Xiao Xiao Luo to bring three Tracing Light warships and fire high-energy lasers into the black hole’s accretion disk.
• The chapter described the Zerg’s enormous hierarchical civilization and its three major factions: Heavenly Sun, Heavenly Moon, and Heavenly Star.
• A silver-white warship arrived in Heavenly Star territory, and its visitors identified themselves as Tracing Light—the Frontier Academy of Sciences.
• Heavenly Star questioned the group about their arrival and their warship’s resemblance to Mechanical Civilization technology.
• The leader explained that Tracing Light had previously supplied Heavenly Star with technology in exchange for help opposing other intelligent Zerg factions.

Tracing Light forced Heavenly Star to accept a plan to unite the Zerg against Heavenly Sun and demonstrated a machine that could kill Zerg on a vast scale. Meanwhile, Su Luo continued bombarding a Black Hole to force the trapped Mechanical Civilization's Survivors to emerge or die, and tasked Xiao Xiao Luo with collecting data.

• Tracing Light's leader ordered Heavenly Star to secretly unite the scattered Zerg and prepare to overthrow Heavenly Sun, assuring it that Heavenly Moon would not attack.
• Tracing Light demonstrated a racial weapon that killed Zerg across ten thousand kilometers, then left Heavenly Star with low-power machines for energy collection and troop production.
• After leaving Zerg territory, the leader told a subordinate the machine was incomplete technology from the Frontier Academy of Sciences and recalled its resemblance to the Demon Prince absorbing Zerg.
• Su Luo explained that the bombardment near the Black Hole was meant to drive the trapped Mechanical Civilization's Survivors out or kill them when the time anchor ended.
• Su Luo told Xiao Xiao Luo to keep bombarding the Black Hole and gave it access to Gravity Vision and Tracing Light's advanced instruments to collect data.

After the Mechanical Civilization’s Virtual World collapsed, Yun Xiaoxiao learned that its citizens had lost their digital bodies and were being hunted across the real world. As she tried to preserve its first-class citizens, Xiao Luo urged her to go to Tracing Light and disrupt an enemy apparently acting on knowledge of the future.

• Yun Xiaoxiao was expelled from the Virtual World and discovered that the Mechanical Civilization had lost access to it and to galaxy-wide communications.
• Yun Xiaoxiao and Xiao Luo concluded that [Silence] likely controlled the Virtual World’s backend and had caused its collapse to seize control of the Mechanical Civilization.
• Yun Xiaoxiao contacted the Chief, who ordered her to gather first-class citizens and survive until the Virtual World restarted; she berated him for refusing to investigate the attack.
• Yun Xiaoxiao found that one Domain Lord and seven of the seventeen third-class citizens named by the Chief had died, while others were being hunted.
• Xiao Luo reasoned that the enemy might be using Future Sight and advised Yun Xiaoxiao to go to Tracing Light and throw the situation into chaos, and she agreed.

Yun Xiaoxiao learned that the Mechanical Civilization’s leaders were copies of a Survivor, while [Silence] observed a future in which the Silent Civilization was crushed. After changing his plans, [Silence] saw the Mechanical Civilization survive and wondered whether other hidden figures could emerge, though he believed the game was already lost.

• The chief accused Yun Xiaoxiao of being a Tracing Light infiltrator, and Yun told the Mechanical Civilization’s leaders that their civilization might be finished unless its original body appeared.
• A domain lord revealed that the Mechanical Civilization’s copies each considered themselves the original, and Yun recognized the Silent Civilization’s plan to create rival branches.
• Su Luo decided that Tracing Light and the other civilizations should intervene in the conflict.
• [Silence] emerged from his seventeenth observation, where Tracing Light, the Heavenly Star Zerg, and the Mechanical Civilization had helped destroy the Silent Civilization.
• [Silence] abandoned his plan to seal the reforming consul, disabled the Mechanical Civilization’s Virtual World, and began an eighteenth observation.
• [Silence] saw the Mechanical Civilization’s Survivor stabilize its civilization and realized the Silent Civilization had survived the Continued Battle, but he believed he had no way to turn the game around.

Zero One Zero recovered from the Black Hole, reviewed the galaxy’s recent history, and decided to seek revenge on the Silent Civilization’s Survivor rather than rebuild the Mechanical Civilization himself. He entered Xiao Xiao Luo’s warship and found it bathing, leaving Xiao Xiao Luo stunned by his arrival.

• Zero One Zero told the Mechanical Civilization’s chief that the Silent Civilization had trapped him in a Black Hole, and he had escaped through Near-Death Teleportation.
• Zero One Zero reviewed events in the galaxy and admitted that his own suspicion had led him to create the item that allowed the Silent Civilization to seize the Virtual World’s backend.
• Zero One Zero rejected the sensible plan of rebuilding the Mechanical Civilization and said he wanted revenge on the Silent Civilization’s Survivor.
• Zero One Zero decided to kill with a borrowed knife and left his clones to handle the Mechanical Civilization’s survival.
• Zero One Zero visited Xiao Xiao Luo in the warship’s bath, and Xiao Xiao Luo asked how he had gotten inside.

Zero One Zero offered Su Luo a plan to kill [Silence] in exchange for help with Sarah and the Mechanical Civilization, along with a Legendary device as a token of sincerity. Su Luo accepted the tentative deal after seeing an imitation Electromagnetic Force Field Printer and learning what it could do.

• Xiao Xiao Luo recognized Zero One Zero as a Survivor from the Mechanical Civilization and summoned Su Luo after Zero One Zero revealed he knew about the Scholar.
• Zero One Zero proposed using information about Sarah to kill [Silence], but Su Luo questioned whether the risk was worthwhile.
• Zero One Zero offered information about Sarah, an introduction to her, and a remarkable item in exchange for Su Luo handling Sarah, protecting the Mechanical Civilization, granting it research access, and helping capture [Silence].
• Zero One Zero demonstrated a Legendary Electromagnetic Force Field Printer and used a special item to make an imitation copy.
• Su Luo accepted the verbal deal and examined the imitation printer, which could scan and save blueprints, fuse them, and print objects using energy.

Su Luo examined Zero One Zero’s Legendary [Electromagnetic Force Field Printer] and learned how its Survival World ranked Legendary items. Back in the Pure White Space, Su Luo and Yun Xiaoxiao tested the machine and discovered it could reproduce a wooden stick by rearranging supplied particles, leaving them eager to try more advanced blueprints and fusion.

• Zero One Zero explained that his Survival World divided Legendary items into weak, average, strong, and Pseudo-Epic tiers, and judged Su Luo’s [Genli Zhi Mo (Legendary)] to be weak or average depending on its use.
• Su Luo and Zero One Zero agreed to work together, and Su Luo brought the [Electromagnetic Force Field Printer] back to the Pure White Space.
• Yun Xiaoxiao begged Su Luo to let her use the printer, then identified it as a potential all-purpose industrial machine and asked him to test it.
• Su Luo recorded a wooden stick’s blueprint and found that the printer consumed energy without matter to use as a foundation.
• Su Luo supplied dense metallic hydrogen, and the printer rearranged its particles to produce a stick that matched the original down to its atomic structure.
• Su Luo and Yun Xiaoxiao eagerly prepared to test high-precision items and the Blueprint Fusion function.
