Chapter Summaries

Chu Fei’s team fought off a massive swarm of Lizard Dragons, earning enough military merit to return home, but Chu Fei chose to remain in the Evernight Zone and hunt more Abnormal Species. After studying the surrounding terrain, he selected the remote D122 valley as a promising place to find high-quality crystal cores and advance his research into laws.

• Chu Fei and his team joined the battle near Yuanquan Water Resources Group, where a huge swarm of Lizard Dragons attacked the convoy.
• Chu Fei used an Electromagnetic Sniper Rifle to kill dozens of powerful Lizard Dragons, while he and Li Yaofeng defeated a black eagle that had ambushed them.
• The surviving experts routed the swarm, and the military tally awarded Chu Fei’s group the highest contribution score, giving them enough merit to return home.
• Chu Fei told Huang Lianying, Zhang Bo, Liu Wenhai, and Wang Shaoying to return while he, Yan Xiyong, and Zhang Yulei stayed to keep fighting; he also introduced the Feathered Serpent She Yu to the group.
• After receiving Li Yaofeng’s permission to move freely with approval, Chu Fei studied the maps, considered the value of Abnormal Species crystal cores, and chose valley D122 as a potential hunting ground.

Chu Fei and Liu Jindao investigated a valley containing a Living Corpse Brood Mother, uncovered the danger behind its strange ability, and destroyed it. After discovering the mass grave beneath the mine, Chu Fei acquired samples and crystal cores for research, while the two men planned their next operation together.

• Chu Fei joined forces with Liu Jindao and led their teams to investigate the valley, where he identified a developing Living Corpse Brood Mother.
• Chu Fei warned the group about the living corpses, and Liu Jindao led his team into the valley to collect crystal cores while Chu Fei watched from a distance.
• Chu Fei noticed Liu Jindao's group repeating their attacks under a strange influence, then used a flashbang to break the effect and expose the brood mother's attack.
• Liu Jindao and his team destroyed the brood mother, and the group found a mass grave containing an estimated million slave corpses beneath the mine.
• Chu Fei bought most of Liu Jindao's crystal cores, collected samples from the brood mother's remains, and discussed their next operation with him.

After helping suppress the Abnormal Species invasion, Chu Fei spent three months researching the Living Corpse Virus and advancing his cultivation before returning to Arctic City. He reviewed his companies’ progress and arranged for third-generation hybrid-architecture computers to be built so he could continue iterating his cultivation and research.

• Chu Fei expanded his Crystal Core trading operation with Liu Jindao’s team, then returned to Li Yaofeng’s command center after the teams cleared nearby Abnormal Species strongholds.
• Chu Fei studied the Living Corpse Virus and Crystal Core laws while the war continued, and he publicly released the Spirit God Potion formula and Simulated True Fire technology.
• After three months, the Abnormal Species crisis was suppressed, and Chu Fei returned to Arctic City with the army as Li Yaofeng thanked him for supporting the war effort.
• Chu Fei returned to Hengyang Computer Group, heard Wang Shaoying and Zhang Yue report on the company’s progress, and gave them research data for improving Simulated True Fire controls.
• Chu Fei inspected Huang Lianying’s third-generation advanced computer core and ordered several hybrid-architecture computers assembled for his next round of research and cultivation iteration.

Chu Fei attended an emergency meeting after a vast Holy Spirit army emerged from the Gaia Secret Realm and began slaughtering cities. With Arctic City facing invasion within an hour and ordinary weapons proving ineffective, Li Yaofeng ordered a desperate mobilization of cultivators and others able to fight the Holy Spirits.

• Hengyang Computer Technology Group launched the Bright Sun computers and Simulated True Fire, while Chu Fei returned to cultivation with ambitious plans for the year.
• A second Gaia Secret Realm passage opened above Black Dragon City, and tens of thousands of armed Holy Spirits slaughtered its five hundred thousand residents.
• Chu Fei warned the meeting that the Holy Spirits were powerful, numerous, and difficult to fight, as reports showed a roughly five-hundred-thousand-strong legion advancing north.
• The Holy Spirit Legion massacred Ice River City and a third city, while spacecraft attacks and hurriedly deployed troops achieved little; the legion killed its intercepting force after 117 seconds, and soldiers reported a 16.0 expert among its ranks.
• Li Yaofeng purchased Hengyang Computer Technology Group's second-generation Simulated True Fire technology for ten trillion and called for cultivators and other fighters above 11.0 to mobilize.

As Morning Star’s defenses collapsed under a vast Holy Spirit invasion, Chu Fei joined the battle near Arctic City and used Xuanming Demonic Flame and his Hyper-Dimensional Metal sword to fight back. After the fleet’s Plasma Bombs destroyed many attackers, powerful Holy Spirits overwhelmed the front line, leaving Chu Fei looking to Qin Yuefang for answers.

• Qin Yuefang announced Xinghai Development Group’s support measures and said a fleet would arrive, while the other factions confirmed similar plans.
• Chu Fei went with Li Yaofeng to Arctic City’s defensive line as refugees fled and satellite footage showed millions of Holy Spirits advancing.
• Lu Huaxing ordered the defenders to open fire, and the fleet’s Plasma Bombs devastated much of the Holy Spirit army before the survivors scattered toward the line.
• Chu Fei formed a seventeen-person team, killed a Level 15.0 Holy Spirit with Xuanming Demonic Flame, and saved Liu Jindao and another fighter from attackers.
• Holy Spirits overwhelmed the front line within minutes, and Chu Fei saw Li Yaofeng struggle against a Level 16.0 opponent as the weapons fell silent.
• Liu Jindao asked what they should do, and Chu Fei looked toward Qin Yuefang without having an answer.

As the Holy Spirits overran Morning Star, Chu Fei rejected City Lord Li Yaofeng's underground refuge and secured Hengyang Computer Technology Group's underground chambers instead. After killing a Level 16.0 Holy Spirit, he realized Big Data Cultivation lacked a suitable way to cultivate the soul and began developing one.

• Li Yaofeng ordered a retreat through the city's defenses and revealed the unfinished Underground World beneath the city center.
• Chu Fei flew to Hengyang Computer Technology Group and ordered its people to seal and stock the underground chambers, admitting only relatives who completed registration before the Holy Spirits arrived.
• Chu Fei fought outside the chambers, killed a Level 15.0 Holy Spirit and seven others, then faced a Level 16.0 Holy Spirit whose soul attack nearly severed his connection to the Cosmic Brain.
• The Wisdom Tree Seed saved Chu Fei by piercing and destroying the Level 16.0 Holy Spirit, and Chu Fei returned underground with its Soul Orb.
• After studying the attack, Chu Fei concluded that Big Data Cultivation needed a new soul-cultivation method and entered Virtual Space to iterate his techniques and combat systems.

As humanity’s defenses against the Holy Spirits collapsed, Chu Fei developed a Big Data Cultivation method based on research and wisdom, then used a new virtual supercomputer to accelerate his cultivation research. He remained underground while the war worsened, ending with scattered Holy Spirits converging on the Great Rift Valley of Death.

• Chu Fei cleared the corpses outside his shelter and learned from Wang Shaoying that Arctic City had lost 120 million people while Holy Spirits advanced across Morning Star.
• Chu Fei refused Arctic City’s summons, ordered the group to reinforce its underground defenses, and began developing a soul-cultivation method through learning, research, and thought.
• Chu Fei completed his approach to Soul Cultivation, felt his soul grow stronger, and emerged transformed; Huang Lianying reported that level 16.0 Immortal Cultivators oversaw the three major groups.
• Huang Lianying showed Chu Fei three fourth-generation hybrid-architecture computers, and Chu Fei tested their Virtual Space, rewarded the researchers, and began using the machines to accelerate his research.
• Human traitors helped the Holy Spirits defeat automated defenses, causing humanity’s remaining defensive lines to collapse as the Holy Spirits gathered around the Great Rift Valley of Death.

As Holy Spirit forces threatened Wang Bing’s million-strong army, Chu Fei supplied him with thousands of potions but stayed at Hengyang Computer Technology Group to protect its people. Chu Fei then applied for nanotechnology research support, and Xue Xingyu invited him to collaborate remotely on research inspired by material collected from a White Dwarf.

• Wang Bing decided to retreat from the Great Rift Valley of Death and requested expert and space-based support while arranging aid for his troops.
• Chu Fei told Wang Bing he could not leave Hengyang Computer Technology Group, but sent him 800 bottles of level 12.0 Perfect Recovery Potion, 300 bottles of level 12.0 Advanced Spirit Nurturing Potion, 100 bottles of Emperor's Flowing Sap, and thousands of other potions.
• Wang Bing publicized Chu Fei’s contribution, prompting more groups to request aid; Chu Fei said his supplies were exhausted and gained Mind Power from the soldiers’ gratitude.
• Chu Fei submitted a proposal to study Nano Augmentation using Nanofluid Metal and Hyper-Dimensional technology, seeking support through Arctic City’s official website.
• Xue Xingyu contacted Chu Fei after reviewing his application and invited him to work with Xinghai Development Group on research related to White Dwarf material.
• Chu Fei agreed to collaborate remotely with Xue Xingyu, proposing theoretical work and calculations in Virtual Space while remaining to protect the people at his group.

Chu Fei developed the Wisdom Cultivation Method, advanced his perception and created the Metaverse Cultivation Method while the Holy Spirit trapped Wang Bing’s allied army near Arctic City. After supplying potions to the front lines, Chu Fei entered seclusion to reset and rebuild his cultivation, aiming to reach 13.0.

• Chu Fei studied the nanotechnology materials and used research to create the Wisdom Cultivation Method, which strengthened his soul.
• Chu Fei awakened the seventh level of Perception of Wind, gaining direct sound perception and extending its algorithms to electromagnetic, infrared, and ultraviolet perception.
• Wang Shaoying told Chu Fei that the Holy Spirit had trapped Wang Bing’s allied forces outside Arctic City, whose numbers had fallen below 170,000.
• Chu Fei developed the Metaverse Cultivation Method, incorporating the Dirac Equation, and decided it was ready for further testing.
• Chu Fei offered to refine potions for the front lines, sent supplies to Wang Bing, and arranged for medicinal ingredients to be delivered.
• After refining twelve liters of potions, Chu Fei entered seclusion to reset his cultivation and rebuild toward 13.0.

After rebuilding his cultivation and combat platform, Chu Fei emerged from seclusion with the newly awakened Feathered Serpent and learned that humanity’s war against the Holy Spirits remained desperate. He left Arctic City to test the Feathered Serpent’s abilities and attack nearby Holy Spirits.

• Chu Fei rebuilt his cultivation method, greatly increased his computational power, refined his combat techniques, made new Dragonfly Wings, and forged a new longsword.
• The Feathered Serpent broke through, awakened laws, and began speaking; Chu Fei accepted it as his disciple and fitted it with two weaponized spikes.
• Chu Fei emerged from seclusion and heard Wang Shaoying report that the allied forces had improved their weapons and morale, though the Holy Spirits and Human Traitors still threatened them.
• Chu Fei watched footage of a Holy Spirit assault, then told Wang Shaoying he would go on the offensive and try to return within twenty-four hours.
• Chu Fei left Arctic City with the Feathered Serpent, sensed nearby Holy Spirits, and prepared to test its abilities and laws.

Chu Fei tested his upgraded ability to fight Holy Spirits, then joined the coalition forces and helped turn back an assault on the front line. After supplying the troops with potions, he headed back to Hengyang Computer Technology Group to deliver Soul Orbs and check on his research.

• The Feathered Serpent defeated Holy Spirits with its Demonic Wind, and Chu Fei advised it to develop more varied attacks.
• Chu Fei tested his abilities against powerful Holy Spirits, discovered his Domains and weapons could suppress them, and defeated two 16.0 Holy Spirits while one escaped.

• Chu Fei killed more than a hundred Holy Spirits during the assault and helped save over a dozen human elites before the enemy retreated.
• Chu Fei received 1,100 Soul Orbs and spent six hours making 17 liters of Spirit God Potion for the coalition forces.
• Chu Fei gave Wang Bing the potions and returned to Hengyang Computer Technology Group to deliver supplies, check on advanced computer research, and prepare a Virtual Space for the Feathered Serpent.

Chu Fei launched a bold assault on the Holy Spirits, using the Wisdom Tree Seed to destroy thousands while gathering Soul Orbs and livestream Mind Power. Surrounded by rotating forces of 16.0 and 15.0 Holy Spirits, he endured an eight-hour battle and drove them back toward the second entrance to the Gaia Secret Realm.

• Chu Fei prepared potions and received 120 small Plasma Bombs and eight super Plasma Bombs before leaving the camp with Feathered Serpent to attack the Holy Spirits.
• Chu Fei livestreamed as he cut through ten Holy Spirit formations, killing more than thirty in each, then used the Wisdom Tree Seed's roots to devour thousands of nearby Holy Spirits.
• Chu Fei repeatedly rested inside a stainless steel house to digest Soul Orbs, then resumed slaughtering and advanced more than a thousand kilometers toward the second entrance to the Gaia Secret Realm.
• Seven 16.0 Holy Spirits and more than a hundred 15.0 Holy Spirits surrounded Chu Fei and attacked in a disciplined formation, while Chu Fei used his Computational Power Domain and Indestructible defense to withstand them.
• Chu Fei fought for eight hours as three groups of Holy Spirits rotated against him, then forced their twenty-one 16.0 Holy Spirits and more than three hundred 15.0 Holy Spirits to retreat toward the Gaia Secret Realm entrance.

Chu Fei fought through the Holy Spirits, developed the Purple Heavens Divine Eye, and publicly explained weaknesses he had discovered. At the rift near Black Dragon City, he countered the Holy Spirits’ advanced weapons until a radar-like device locked onto him.

• After more than ten hours of fighting, Chu Fei killed his first level 16.0 Holy Spirit with his new Purple Heavens Divine Eye.
• Chu Fei trapped and destroyed the Holy Spirits inside his domain, then continued toward Black Dragon City while the others avoided him.
• During a livestream, Chu Fei explained the Holy Spirits’ weaknesses and helped restore humanity’s confidence.
• At the rift near Black Dragon City, Chu Fei encountered numerous powerful Holy Spirits and their technological weapons.
• Chu Fei disrupted the weapons’ soul pulses and energy interference, scattered their Law Lasers, and damaged a Fighter Jet Flying Sword.
• A radar-like device cast an inescapable light on Chu Fei, and he realized he had been locked on.

Chu Fei discovered how to evade the Holy Spirits’ soul-locking weapons and used manifold fragments, curses, and overwhelming force to turn the battle around. He routed the Holy Spirit army and continued sweeping across the battlefield while the strongest enemies fled.

• Chu Fei dispersed his soul to break the locking beam, then baited the law lasers into striking a false soul and killing hundreds of Holy Spirits.
• Chu Fei gathered more than seven hundred Soul Orbs, restored most of his strength, and found that manifold fragments hindered the Holy Spirits’ movement and perception.
• Chu Fei identified a 17.0 Holy Spirit’s domain as faith-based and destroyed successive Soul Flying Knives with increasingly precise attacks.
• Chu Fei evaded and analyzed the Holy Spirits’ flames and Soul Pulse while using manifold defenses to withstand the attacks.
• Chu Fei struck the 17.0 Holy Spirits and nearby forces with curses and Big Data Deletion, then expanded his domain and killed thousands of high-level Holy Spirits.
• The two 17.0 Holy Spirits fled as the remaining army collapsed, and Chu Fei swept across the battlefield, capturing and killing Holy Spirits.

After defeating the Holy Spirits, Chu Fei studied their soul technology and advanced his Wisdom Cultivation Method, then livestreamed Black Dragon City’s devastation before entering the Gaia Secret Realm. The signal vanished as he crossed into the realm, while the Mind Power sent by viewers continued to surge toward him.

• Chu Fei dismantled abandoned Holy Spirit weapons and inferred that their bodies and technology relied on souls inscribed into special Life Energy.
• Chu Fei decided that his soul should remain an external aid rather than his main body, and his Wisdom Cultivation Method advanced to its second level.
• Chu Fei restored himself, started a livestream in Black Dragon City, and showed viewers the devastation left by the Holy Spirits’ attacks.
• Chu Fei urged humanity to fight the Holy Spirits, warned traitors that they would not be accepted as equals, and promised either to return with secrets or inflict major damage.
• Chu Fei entered the Gaia Secret Realm as the signal failed, while viewers’ Mind Power flowing to him exceeded ten million.

Chu Fei toured the Gaia Secret Realm, tested how high he could fly, and surveyed the state of humanity’s defenses and the Holy Spirits’ territory. Near the Perpetual Day Zone, he sensed humans fighting ahead, charged toward them, and was caught in an unfamiliar Holy Spirit attack.

• Chu Fei flew above the Holy Spirits’ thirty-kilometer limit, confirmed they were constrained by the planet’s Life Energy, and used heated air in his domain to reach an altitude of over sixty kilometers.
• Chu Fei circled the globe, saw the ruined Jiangkou City and Antarctic City’s defenses, and watched Li Yaofeng and others argue in Arctic City.
• Chu Fei found Holy Spirit farms near the Perpetual Day Zone and observed the farmers harvesting soul crystals from wriggling, sunflower-like crops.
• Chu Fei sensed a human battle ahead and charged toward a gathering of Holy Spirits, scattering them as the Wisdom Tree Seed stirred.
• The Holy Spirits attacked Chu Fei with soul-energy shells that burst into gray mist, impairing his vision and slowing his soul.

Chu Fei broke through Holy Spirit’s Soul EMP attack, gained a new understanding of Big Data Cultivation, and helped Jiang Guangyuan defeat an ambush in the Gaia Secret Realm. Jiang Guangyuan then questioned why the Tenglong Galaxy’s major corporations had cut off communications and failed to send a proper rescue force.

• Holy Spirit’s Soul EMP Bomb disrupted Chu Fei’s soul-based senses, but he used upgraded data-based perception to evade attacks, destroy ground weapons, and compress the interference into a black cloud.
• Chu Fei’s conviction transformed his cultivation, restoring and improving his reaction time as he realized Big Data Cultivation relied on wisdom and conviction rather than the soul.
• Chu Fei found a Void Refinement cultivator surrounded by Holy Spirits and chose to rescue him, using the radiation cloud to disrupt the attackers and destroying the radar units tracking the cultivator.
• The freed cultivator, Jiang Guangyuan, killed the fleeing Holy Spirits and gave Chu Fei a Reincarnation Orb made from human souls.
• Jiang Guangyuan asked Chu Fei why the five major corporations had not sent a real rescue force and had cut off communication with the outside world.

Jiang Guangyuan told Chu Fei that the leaders of the five major groups were likely artificial humans controlled by computers, tracing their origins to the Everlasting Technology Group’s bionic-human research. He then suggested that the Tenglong Galaxy might itself be a research base studying human nature and intelligence, leaving Chu Fei to reconsider the galaxy’s many strange systems.

• Chu Fei collected and compressed some of the radiation cloud, and Jiang Guangyuan entered it before retreating in alarm and collecting a sample himself.
• Jiang Guangyuan led Chu Fei to a cave and explained that caves concealed them from the Holy Spirit, then revealed that the five major groups’ leaders were probably robots or artificial humans.
• Jiang Guangyuan recounted how the Yanhuang Federation’s Bionic Human Paradise project led to the Everlasting Technology Group, whose influence spread through the Tianjiang Star Cluster after the Federation collapsed.
• Jiang Guangyuan said the leaders of the five major groups had ties to the Fourth Star System and likely possessed quasi-16.0 combat strength through computer-simulated cultivation.
• Chu Fei wondered whether Wang Wei had been a clone, and Jiang Guangyuan suggested the Tenglong Galaxy might be a research base gathering data for computers’ eventual awakening.

Chu Fei and Jiang Guangyuan investigated the Gaia Secret Realm, used a Reincarnation Orb to gain life experiences, and attacked a Holy Spirit town to collect more. They left the town’s defenses shattered and began searching its temples for Reincarnation Orbs.

• Jiang Guangyuan explained that Everlasting Technology Group controlled the Tengjiang Star Cluster as a laboratory to study the logic of souls, and he and Chu Fei discussed seeking advancement in the Gaia Secret Realm.
• Chu Fei entered a Reincarnation Orb, experienced the lives and thoughts of many people, then learned to recharge the orb with Soul Orbs; after twenty-two cycles, it shattered.
• Chu Fei inferred that the Holy Spirits’ weapon was an Entropy Increase Bomb, and he and Jiang Guangyuan flew toward a large Holy Spirit town to find more Reincarnation Orbs.
• Jiang Guangyuan drank Chu Fei’s Spirit God Potion and killed over a thousand elite Holy Spirits in a lightning-fast attack, then returned to Chu Fei.
• Chu Fei and Jiang Guangyuan searched the town’s temples and slaughtered Holy Spirits, while Chu Fei swept the area with his domain.

Chu Fei and Jiang Guangyuan attacked Moga City, where Chu Fei looted its temple and research sites while Jiang Guangyuan fought the city’s temple priests. After they destroyed the city and divided their spoils, Chu Fei began studying the Saronian knowledge he had collected as Jiang Guangyuan cultivated in seclusion.

• Chu Fei and Jiang Guangyuan reached Moga City and attacked from different directions, with Jiang Guangyuan drawing the city’s defenses away from Chu Fei.
• Chu Fei fought seven level-17.0 Holy Spirits, captured one with the Wisdom Tree Seed, then charged into Moga City and devoured tens of thousands of Holy Spirits.
• Chu Fei destroyed the temple with a Super Plasma Bomb, captured its wounded High Priest, and looted the temple, library, schools, and research facilities for Reincarnation Orbs and knowledge crystals.
• Chu Fei rescued Jiang Guangyuan by eliminating the three Holy Spirits trapping him, and the two agreed to destroy Moga City and divide the spoils.
• Jiang Guangyuan used more than three hundred Formation Flags to refine the city’s Holy Spirits into soul essence, which he traded to Chu Fei for eight Reincarnation Orbs.
• After half a month of alternating cultivation with the Reincarnation Orbs, Chu Fei began studying the Entropy Increase Bombs and the Saronian transformation of Holy Spirits.
