Chapter Summaries

Chu Fei and Zheng Chengan fought two powerful Eerie Spirits near Red Pine City, while Chu Fei used computational analysis to decipher their attacks and structure. Chu Fei discovered that one Eerie Spirit contained a Parity Conservation architecture and forced it back into reality, leaving him with a possible way to counter it.

• Zheng Chengan sealed the area north of Red Pine City with an energy barrier, and Chu Fei charged the two Eerie Spirits and their Human Traitors.
• One Eerie Spirit attacked Chu Fei with a shifting weapon, but Chu Fei endured its blows and used curses and algorithms to disrupt it.
• Zheng Chengan blasted the second Eerie Spirit after it emerged from the shadows, but it reassembled from its fragments.
• Chu Fei battled the first Eerie Spirit at close range while analyzing its data structure, gradually weakening it and gaining the upper hand.
• Chu Fei parsed an architecture within the Eerie Spirit and identified it as Parity Conservation.
• The Eerie Spirit tried to retreat, but Chu Fei projected interference based on Parity nonconservation and forced it back into reality.

Chu Fei disrupted an Eerie Spirit’s teleportation, fought it until it materialized, and then drew it into his consciousness space to devour part of its soul. He woke to find the other Eerie Spirit gone, and Zheng Chengan confirmed that Chu Fei had eaten one and asked what it tasted like.

• Chu Fei deduced that Eerie Spirits used a weak domain governed by Parity Conservation to teleport, then hindered one with curses and attacked its core.
• Chu Fei and the Eerie Spirit exchanged thousands of attacks until the damaged spirit materialized and lost much of its speed.
• A second Eerie Spirit shot an arrow at Chu Fei, but Zheng Chengan destroyed its Infallible Law and Chu Fei dodged the arrow while continuing his attack.
• The Eerie Spirit briefly became incorporeal again, but Chu Fei destabilized it with curses and pulled it into his consciousness space with the Wisdom Tree Seed.
• Chu Fei deciphered the Eerie Spirit’s structure, devoured a small part of its soul, and sealed the rest away.
• Chu Fei opened his eyes beside Zheng Chengan, answered his communication IP correctly, and heard Zheng Chengan ask what the Eerie Spirit tasted like.

After killing an Eerie Spirit, Chu Fei gave Zheng Chengan an account of how to disrupt its teleportation while concealing his conviction-based method, then feigned severe injuries to secure time and protection for cultivation. As he consumed the captured Eerie Spirit, he gained new insights and developed Big Data Erase, leaving him eager to hunt another one.

• Chu Fei accepted Zheng Chengan's potions and recorded an explanation of Eerie Spirits, but withheld his life-saving attack and the importance of conviction.
• Zheng Chengan summarized how Eerie Spirits used Parity Conservation to teleport and concluded that weak interactions could disrupt it; he and Chu Fei agreed not to share the information with the Dragon People.
• Zheng Chengan brought the apparently badly wounded Chu Fei back to the Wei Family, where Chu Fei claimed his internal injuries required seclusion.
• Chu Fei revealed to himself that he had exaggerated his injuries to protect his secrets, secure rewards, and avoid blame if others died while hunting Eerie Spirits.
• Chu Fei used the Wisdom Tree Seed and Cosmic Brain to analyze and consume the captured Eerie Spirit, learning about its flash movement and developing a primitive Big Data Erase technique.
• After absorbing the Eerie Spirit without contamination, Chu Fei felt his soul become satisfied and wondered whether he should kill another one.

After eight days of seclusion, Chu Fei emerged with improved combat methods and learned that new Eerie Spirits had descended on Red Pine City, forcing the Wei Family to consider abandoning it. He suspected the new spirits had traded teleportation for an inability to be killed and headed to meet Zheng Chengan and Wei Shuheng.

• Chu Fei used his Wisdom Dewdrops and Mind Power to iterate his curses, Blink, and Big Data Deletion while considering ways to improve his flight.
• Chu Fei consolidated his cultivation, replaced three skills with their newest versions, and left seclusion on the eighth day.
• A steward told Chu Fei that more than ten Eerie Spirits had descended, followed by three new types that lacked teleportation but could not be killed; the Wei Family had decided to abandon Red Pine City.
• Chu Fei learned that Zheng Chengan and Wei Shuheng had trapped and repeatedly killed one of the new spirits before it escaped into the sewers.
• The steward explained that Eerie Spirits seemed unable to travel far from where they descended, and Chu Fei headed toward the office where Zheng Chengan and Wei Shuheng remained.

Chu Fei returned to Red Pine City and learned that the Eerie Spirits, the Dragon People, and the lack of support from the Thunderclap Land Carrier had forced the city into mass evacuation. He joined Zheng Chengan and the others in studying a new way to attack the Eerie Spirits by disrupting their Temporal Sequence, leaving them with seven proposed virus designs to test.

• Chu Fei gave Zheng Chengan the data he had gathered from the Eerie Spirit and received a reward personally approved by Lord of Thunderclap.
• Wei Longyu explained how the Dragon People had stolen the secret of Parity Conservation and allied with the Eerie Spirits, whose latest arrivals could not be killed.
• Zheng Chengan said the Thunderclap Land Carrier could not send help because of trouble with a neighboring force, leaving Red Pine City and Azure Cloud City to face the crisis alone.
• Zheng Chengan identified Temporal Sequence data in Chu Fei's findings and shared it with the gathered Enlightened for analysis.
• Chu Fei and the others studied the Eerie Spirits' Temporal Sequence and designed seven virus combinations to test against them.

After Chu Fei explained how Eerie Spirits could be devoured, he learned that Thunderclap Land Carrier was under pressure from both the Dragon People and Blazing Flame Land Carrier. Zheng Chengan prepared to take him hunting, while Chu Fei inspected his promotion and rewards, including a powerful cultivation method and four combat techniques.

• Chu Fei explained that devouring an Eerie Spirit required strong spiritual power, will, and a Cosmic Brain, and that weakening one through combat could make the process safer.
• Wei Longyu told Chu Fei that Blazing Flame Land Carrier was exploiting Thunderclap Land Carrier’s troubles, while the Dragon People’s alliance with the Eerie Spirits had left the Justice Faction with few hunters and Red Pine City nearly empty.
• Zheng Chengan told Chu Fei to prepare the Lord of Thunderclap’s reward before they went to hunt an Eerie Spirit together.
• Chu Fei learned that he had been promoted to Level Two Inspector and received money, contribution points, the Spring Thunder cultivation method, and four Divine Abilities and spells.
• Chu Fei examined the Grade 7.5 Spring Thunder method and learned the grades and capabilities of the Basic Barrier, Golden Ratio Blade Technique, (Pseudo) Rainbow Transformation Art, and Ghost Shadow Traceless Movement Technique.

Chu Fei learned the Ghost Shadow Traceless Movement Technique and tested how it strengthened his combat abilities before joining Zheng Chengan on patrol through devastated Red Pine City. When they reached a suspected Eerie Spirit near the battlefield, Liu Jinhui, Chao Jianmin, and Yan Xiaolong ambushed them and tried to recruit Chu Fei, but Wei Family experts soon appeared around the group.

• Chu Fei chose the Ghost Shadow Traceless Movement Technique from the available rewards and mastered its basic principles in under an hour.
• Chu Fei tested the technique, using it with his Cloning Technique to create two figures and with his arms to launch attacks from seven directions.
• Zheng Chengan took Chu Fei to inspect Red Pine City, where they saw ruins, scattered belongings, and mutants after Eerie Spirits drove out most residents.
• Zheng Chengan and Chu Fei flew to the former Mercenary Guild, where Chu Fei detected an Eerie Spirit and suspected they had entered a trap.
• Liu Jinhui, Chao Jianmin, and Yan Xiaolong appeared with Awakened fighters and threatened Chu Fei while urging him to join the Blazing Flame Land Carrier.
• Wei Family experts appeared around Chu Fei and Zheng Chengan, and Zheng Chengan smiled at the arriving reinforcements.

Chu Fei fought in the battle between the Justice Faction and the Dragon People after both sides revealed their reinforcements and prepared for combat. He killed seven opponents in an extreme burst, seized a small Energy Cannon, and aimed it skyward as an enraged voice cried out, “Jianwei!”

• Zheng Chengan revealed that the Wei Family had fed Liu Jinhui false intelligence, while Liu Jinhui disclosed that Eerie Spirits had infiltrated the Wei Family estate.
• Yan Xiaolong and a second Blazing Flame Land Carrier expert faced off against two Thunderclap Land Carrier inspectors as the factions matched their top fighters and soldiers.
• Liu Jinhui’s Dragon People forces began fighting the Justice Faction, and Wei Fanghua agreed to compete alongside Chu Fei.
• Chu Fei used his techniques to kill three Dragon People almost instantly, then escaped an attack by a spear wielder and a gunman.
• Chu Fei helped Wei Fanghua defeat her opponent, killed the gunman with his curse, and used his whip to kill two more enemies before retreating behind the Justice Faction’s lines.
• Chu Fei discovered that the gun was a small Energy Cannon, aimed it into the air, and heard someone cry out, “Jianwei!”

Chu Fei used Zhang Jianwei’s Energy Gun and his newly acquired Big Data Deletion curse to disrupt the Dragon People’s fighters and battle an 11.0-level expert. After escaping the injured expert, he saw six Eerie Spirits kill a fleeing Dragon Person, while the spirits advanced toward Chu Fei as he continued attacking the melee above.

• Chu Fei realized he had killed Zhang Jianwei, then used the Energy Gun to disrupt several Dragon People fighting Wei Longyu and the Justice Faction.
• Two 11.0-level Dragon People dived toward the ground, and Chu Fei shot one through the spinal cord, allowing Wei Longyu and his guards to kill him.
• Chu Fei used Big Data Deletion to destroy the heart of the other attacker, fought off his shield and punches, then fled to Wei Longyu for protection.
• Chu Fei cursed the pursuer again and blinded one eye, helping Wei Longyu’s group drive the 11.0-level expert into retreat.
• Six Eerie Spirits killed the fleeing Dragon Person, then one pointed toward Chu Fei as he disrupted another Dragon Person in the sky; Liu Jinhui remained blocked by Wei Shuheng.

Chu Fei lured two Eerie Spirits away from the battle while concealing his strongest methods, and the Justice Faction struggled as the Dragon People and Eerie Spirits gained the advantage. Zheng Chengan’s viruses failed against the Eerie Spirits’ adaptation, but his countermeasures steadied his forces, leaving the battle still tilted against them.

• Chu Fei detected the approaching Eerie Spirits, warned Wei Longyu and Wei Fanghua, and staged a retreat after killing a Dragon Person with Big Data Deletion.
• Chu Fei fought off two pursuing Eerie Spirits while leading them out of Red Pine City and into the wilderness, keeping his trump cards unused as Zheng Chengan watched.
• The Justice Faction lost ground as more Eerie Spirits and aberrants joined the battle, and Yan Xiaolong offered Zheng Chengan’s forces better treatment if they defected to the Blazing Flame Land Carrier.
• Zheng Chengan unleashed eight viruses against the Eerie Spirits, but they adapted by becoming physical and escaping the viruses’ effects.
• Yan Xiaolong demanded a pledge of allegiance in the form of a former comrade’s head, but Zheng Chengan calmed his forces by ordering them to fight in pairs for shared first-class merit.

Chu Fei escaped the fighting near Red Pine City and captured two Eerie Spirits, devouring one and imprisoning the other for study. He headed for Black Mountain City and the Lan Family, deciding to recover, pursue a breakthrough to 11.0, and develop supersonic flight.

• Chu Fei lured the two Eerie Spirits into range with crystal-core energy bursts, restrained them with curses, and used the Wisdom Tree Seed to devour one.
• Chu Fei weakened the remaining Eerie Spirit with absolute conviction, dragged it into his consciousness space, and studied its abilities and strength.
• Chu Fei left the battlefield, sent Zheng Chengan a battle video and a message claiming he was too injured to return, then flew south toward Black Mountain City.
• Chu Fei reasoned that his foundation and realm were sufficient for a breakthrough to 11.0 and decided to cultivate at the Lan Family.
• Chu Fei planned to develop a new flight form modeled on swifts, with supersonic speed as his first goal.

After the Justice Faction retreated from Red Pine City, the Wei Family destroyed the city’s underground energy channels rather than leave them intact for the Blazing Flame Land Carrier. Later, Chu Fei reflected on the era’s turmoil and began advising Wang Yujing on her stalled cultivation.

• Zheng Chengan and Yan Xiaolong ended the battle after heavy casualties, with the Blazing Flame Land Carrier claiming the territory east of their position.
• Zheng Chengan returned to find the Wei Family devastated and advised Wei Shuheng to evacuate Red Pine City while preserving a foundation for its possible restoration.
• After the Wei Family left, its buildings and the underground energy channels were destroyed, leaving Red Pine City’s foundation ruined.
• Yan Xiaolong learned that the Justice Faction had retreated toward Green Stone City and ordered his forces to clear mutants, deal with Eerie Spirits, and expand industry and weapons production.
• Chu Fei discussed the era’s upheavals with Wang Yujing, then diagnosed her stalled cultivation as a problem of confidence and realm and offered her training material and advice on Energy Control.

Chu Fei agreed to help Lan Haiming establish a Motorcycle Team modeled on the Abyss Team as the Lan Family faced military, industrial, and personnel crises. After giving Lan Haiming most of his Abyss Team records, Chu Fei entered seclusion to study the Spring Thunder cultivation technique.

• Chu Fei theorized that soul purity and strength could explain Wang Yujing's stalled cultivation, then studied the Eerie Spirit's data with help from the Wisdom Tree Seed.
• Lan Haiming told Chu Fei that aberrant creatures were closing in, Red Pine City's supply chain had collapsed, and the Lan Family was losing fighters and civilians.
• Lan Haiming asked Chu Fei to help create a Lan Family Motorcycle Team based on the Abyss Team, and Chu Fei agreed.
• Chu Fei gave Lan Haiming roughly ninety percent of the Abyss Team's records and said he would emerge from seclusion at eight the next morning.
• Chu Fei entered the secret chamber to finish parsing the Spring Thunder cultivation realms below 11.0.

Chu Fei studied the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method and concluded that Big Data Cultivation worked by scientifically reconstructing the Laws behind natural phenomena. After explaining the Motorcycle Team’s technical questions to the Lan Family and receiving its remaining Red Copper, he returned to find Wang Yujing waiting outside his room.

• Chu Fei reformatted the Lan Family’s computer system, analyzed the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method, and realized that cultivation methods imitated and reconstructed natural Laws.
• Chu Fei reviewed his old research overnight and developed a clearer direction for his cultivation.
• Wang Yujing told Chu Fei that her Potential Index had risen by 0.012 after following his guidance, and Chu Fei encouraged her to keep cultivating.
• Chu Fei noticed that Lan Wenjiang carried an ominous aura like Wu Yong’s, then answered the Lan Family’s questions about the Motorcycle Team.
• Lan Wenjiang gave Chu Fei 22.7 kilograms of the Lan Family’s remaining Red Copper and its research materials.
• Chu Fei returned to his room, cast a Heart-Cleansing Spell on Wang Yujing, and began reading the Red Copper research materials.

Chu Fei studied the Lan Family’s Red Copper research and guided Wang Yujing through her cultivation doubts, then returned to analyzing the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method. He realized he could reach Level 11.0 with it, but began decompressing it so he could adapt its logic without replacing his superior Dawn Cultivation Method.

• Chu Fei skimmed the Lan Family’s Red Copper research and considered forging magic treasures from the 38.2 kilograms he had.
• Wang Yujing told Chu Fei that she had regained confidence and neared the threshold of Level 9.5 after her seclusion.
• Chu Fei urged Wang Yujing to hunt a second-generation Level Five aberrant species and gave her materials about the soul and Negative Entropy.
• Wang Yujing studied Chu Fei’s materials in Virtual Space, thanked him, and went into seclusion to cultivate.
• Chu Fei studied the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method, concluded he could reach Level 11.0 with it, and chose to decompress its structure rather than replace his Dawn Cultivation Method.
• Chu Fei completed the first layer of decompression and found the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method’s architecture far inferior to the Dawn Cultivation Method.

Chu Fei analyzed the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method, finding that its patched Klein Bottle architecture made it a flawed but useful route toward 10.0 cultivation. By applying his extensive inheritances and the Trial Tower core, he spent two and a half days developing a Cosmic Brain Virtual Machine, whose uses he began to consider.

• Chu Fei discovered that the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method used a stitched-together 4+4 structure rather than a complete 4×2 system, making it easier to cultivate but fundamentally flawed.
• Chu Fei decompressed the method to 11.0 and concluded that its approximations would limit it to the peak of 12.0, though its techniques could help others break through to 10.0.
• Chu Fei considered why Thunderclap Land Carrier had not developed an easier 10.0 cultivation method and decided that research costs, scarce resources, and limited researchers explained the gap.
• Chu Fei decided to study the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method both to adapt its higher-level portion to his foundation and to produce a useful 10.0 method for the Self-Salvation Society.
• Chu Fei used the Cosmic Brain, Accessory Brain, Virtual Space, and Trial Tower core to accelerate his calculations and deduced a Cosmic Brain Virtual Machine after two and a half days.

Chu Fei studied and devoured a captured Eerie Spirit, learning about its stability, redundancy, and energy-control frameworks. He used the Cosmic Brain Virtual Machine to break through to 11.0 with the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method, then abandoned an attempt at 12.0 and turned to information about Swift.

• Chu Fei analyzed the Eerie Spirit suppressed by the Wisdom Tree Seed and discovered its stability law, backup logic frameworks, and method of materializing energy.
• Chu Fei carefully devoured part of the Eerie Spirit, strengthening his soul by about five percent.
• Chu Fei ran the Spring Thunder Cultivation Method in his Cosmic Brain Virtual Machine, cultivated through 10.0, and used its Complex Manifold framework to reach 11.0 Enlightened.
• Chu Fei considered advancing the virtual cultivation to 12.0 but stopped after realizing he should consolidate his new realm first.
• Chu Fei spent half a day consolidating 11.0 and then pulled out information related to Swift.

Chu Fei spent a month in seclusion developing a swift-based Second Form, mastering new techniques, and advancing to level 11.0. When Wang Yujing arrived in battle armor after the aberrant creatures breached the High Wall, Chu Fei agreed to join the defense.

• Chu Fei designed and tested a swift transformation program, then began adapting the Basic Barrier to improve his flight.
• During another half month of seclusion, Chu Fei reached level 11.0, learned the Basic Barrier and Golden Ratio Blade Technique, and mastered Ghost Shadow Traceless Movement Technique.
• Chu Fei began studying the Unstoppable Attack technique and iterated on a combat method combining his barrier, flight, speed, and computing power.
• Chu Fei sensed a disturbance, heard someone smashing his sealed chamber door, and opened it after securing his research data.
• Wang Yujing told Chu Fei that aberrant creatures had reached the High Wall and the Lan Family was sending distress signals.
• Chu Fei agreed to go with Wang Yujing and help defend the High Wall.

Chu Fei joined the defense of Black Mountain City and used his mysterious curse to kill and disable mutants across the High Wall, alarming Lan Wenjiang. After they crossed the fallen outer defenses in search of the mutants’ command center, Chu Fei asked Lan Wenjiang to hold the line while he went ahead.

• Chu Fei found the Lan Family nearly out of ammunition and overwhelmed by mutants, so he began attacking them with his curse from the air.
• Chu Fei’s repeated finger snaps disabled mutants across the High Wall, turning the defense around and drawing Lan Wenjiang’s wary attention.
• Chu Fei and Lan Wenjiang flew outside the city to search for the mutants’ command center and saw the devastation around the fallen first line of defense.
• Chu Fei fought off flying mutants as Lan Wenjiang struggled to keep pace, and they continued toward the third line of defense.
• After spotting bright energy fluctuations ahead, Chu Fei asked Lan Wenjiang to hold the line while he went to investigate.

Chu Fei confronted a group of First Generation mutants near Black Mountain City and used careful calculations, curses, and aerial combat to break their formation. After a three-tailed fox’s mental attack briefly disrupted his Virtual Machine, Chu Fei recovered and let himself fall so the remaining mutants would gather around him, leaving the fight poised to continue.

• Chu Fei approached three Vajra Giant Apes and their mutant allies while Lan Wenjiang held back at a distance.
• Chu Fei destroyed a strange bird with seven curse eruptions, then blocked the cheetah’s energy blast and turned aside the spider’s web attack.
• Chu Fei used an explosive barrier and a close-range curse to kill one Vajra Giant Ape, then severed the spider’s legs.
• A three-tailed fox’s mental scream disrupted Chu Fei’s Virtual Machine, but he switched to Cosmic Brain mode, recovered, and killed the fox.
• Chu Fei hit the ground, then sprang up as the mutants charged him, revealing that he had lured them together.
