Chapter Summaries

Chu Fei completed a major cultivation and bodily rebuild, reaching the peak of 15.9999 before joining five others on a covert flight toward the fleets of the three major groups. Their tiny, exceptionally dense aircraft survived repeated attacks, leaving the enemy commanders puzzled about what they could do.

• Chu Fei rebuilt his Cosmic Brain with Super-Manifold Theory and transformed nearly his entire body into viral structures, reaching Cultivation Level 15.9999 with vast computational power and energy reserves.
• Chu Fei chose to remain at 15.9999 rather than break through to 16.0, then inspected six fighter aircraft after his researchers finished testing them.
• Chu Fei, Wang Bing, Jiang Guangyuan, Li Haoyang, Huang Li, and Delanophy St. Migalin boarded their aircraft and flew into space among a larger group of craft.
• After a month of travel and losses among the ordinary aircraft, the six tiny craft approached the fleets of the three major groups disguised as debris.
• The three major groups attacked the six craft with lasers, microwaves, particle cannons, and electromagnetic cannons, but the aircraft endured and evaded the attacks.
• The enemy calculated that each craft weighed sixteen to seventeen tons despite being only half a meter long, and the commander-in-chief questioned what the six small craft could accomplish.

Chu Fei defeated the joint fleet sent against Morning Star, forcing its surviving crew to swear allegiance while crippling and exiling its commander-in-chief. Afterward, he reflected on the dangers of the universe and resolved to keep cultivating.

• Six Aerospace Planes pierced four spacecraft, then boarded the remaining ships and released Holy Spirits inside.
• Chu Fei entered the flagship’s command hall, repelled the commander-in-chief’s attack, and offered the crew surrender or departure.
• Chu Fei made the crew swear loyalty to Morning Star Group and planted Thought Imprints in those who surrendered.
• Chu Fei stripped the commander-in-chief of his belongings, crippled his cultivation, and had the crew launch him into space in an escape ship.
• Chu Fei watched the escape ship drift away, considered the vastness of the universe, and resolved to cultivate diligently.

After defeating the first fleet, Chu Fei devised a strategy to exploit deception and time, then led his forces toward Immortal Cloud Star. The pursuing second fleet turned back, but as Chu Fei’s group neared its destination, a fleet launched from Immortal Cloud Star.

• Chu Fei warned the group not to turn around and decelerate, then presented a plan to deceive the second fleet and seize control of the conflict’s timing.
• Wang Bing, Jiang Guangyuan, and Li Haoyang assessed the fleet’s weaknesses, and the group refined Chu Fei’s strategy to attack Immortal Cloud Star and destroy its Gravitational String Channel.
• Chu Fei’s group destroyed its heavily damaged spacecraft, followed an irregular course, and sent fake Aerospace Planes toward the Dragon Tiger Binary Stars.
• After several decoys were discovered, the second fleet turned back, giving Chu Fei’s group at least two more months.
• Chu Fei’s fleet passed Morning Star and headed toward Immortal Cloud Star, but a fleet launched from that planet as they drew near.

Chu Fei learned that Immortal Cloud Star’s leaders were fleeing through a dangerous Gravitational String Channel while an enemy fleet sent giant spacecraft bombs against his advancing force. After Chu Fei’s fleet destroyed the bombs and allowed more people to escape, it reached Immortal Cloud Star, where the remaining population welcomed the Resistance Army.

• Chu Fei spotted a convoy entering the Gravitational String Channel and chose not to attack, hoping to preserve the technology and strengthen his standing among those who remained.
• Chu Fei recognized that the approaching fleet was accelerating without firing and suspected its spacecraft had been converted into enormous bombs.
• Chu Fei ordered his fleet to launch bombs and intercept the incoming threat; the debris field and sympathetic detonations destroyed the enemy’s super bombs.
• The Immortal Cloud Star convoy escaped, and Chu Fei let other wavering people flee as well, leaving those abandoned with surrender as their only option.
• Nine days later, several old craft welcomed Chu Fei and his fleet to Immortal Cloud Star on behalf of its one billion people.

Chu Fei took control of Immortal Cloud Star, purged its old ruling class, and turned its industrial base toward the Resistance Army’s war effort. He left the chapter planning to build a Hyper-Manifold warship in one month and strike Dragon Tiger Binary Stars before they discovered his deception.

• Chu Fei shut down Immortal Cloud Star’s Gravitational String Channel, then learned from Kang Rong about the planet’s stable but oppressive society and appointed him Governor.
• Chu Fei spent six days investigating Immortal Cloud Star before announcing that its laws would remain in place and calling for a purge of past crimes.
• Chu Fei’s forces executed more than a million people, confiscated assets, reviewed wrongful convictions, and reorganized Immortal Cloud Star’s administration and security forces.
• Chu Fei made Immortal Cloud Star the Resistance Army’s production and logistics base, then proposed building a Hyper-Manifold warship in one month.
• Chu Fei explained that Immortal Cloud Star would receive the hardware technology while he kept the software secret, and Jiang Guangyuan agreed to the surprise-attack plan against Dragon Tiger Binary Stars.

Chu Fei led an assault on the Dragon Tiger Binary Stars, where advanced technology overwhelmed the conglomerates’ fleet and devastated Dragon Star. As the victors prepared to handle the aftermath, the conglomerates revealed a force of Transformers built from Nanofluid Metal, and Chu Fei ordered attacks against them.

• Chu Fei completed and tested a warship that could shrink to five meters, then took more than thirty Immortal Cloud Star experts toward the Dragon Tiger Binary Stars as aircraft from Morning Star and Immortal Cloud Star launched diversions.
• After the warship survived the binary stars’ defenses, five unmanned fighters struck Dragon Star, causing widespread destruction, while Chu Fei’s warship defeated the conglomerates’ fleet and forced twenty-two ships to surrender.
• Chu Fei sent surrendered officials to organize evacuations and disaster relief, then kept his forces in space while waiting for reinforcements and searching for hidden enemy forces.
• A concealed ground installation launched more than a hundred Transformers into space, each with energy comparable to a 16.0 expert, and the machines combined into a spacecraft.
• Chu Fei identified the Transformers’ Nanofluid Metal as a lower-level imitation of his technology and ordered Plasma Bombs, Particle Cannons, High-Power Microwaves, and Extreme Ultraviolet attacks.

Chu Fei defeated the five major groups’ Nanofluid Metal forces by fighting from space, then secured the Dragon Tiger Binary Stars and uncovered a vast computing center built from millions of harvested brains. The discovery exposed the Everlasting Technology Group’s reach and pushed Chu Fei to decide that he needed to break through to 16.0.

• Chu Fei explained that the enemy’s half-step-16.0 Nanofluid Metal was vulnerable to space attacks and communication delays, and his forces destroyed its warships without descending to the surface.
• Chu Fei kept attacking from space as ground fighting continued for more than a month, then sealed the five major groups’ bases, put their people on trial, and shut down the Dragon Tiger Binary Stars’ Gravitational String Channel.
• Chu Fei learned that reaching the Everlasting Technology Group’s headquarters would take over a century by spacecraft, while every Hyper-Dimensional Channel in the Tenglong Galaxy had been destroyed.
• Li Yueyang led Chu Fei to a computing-power base on Dragon Star, where thousands of domes held more than thirty million brains harvested from talented people.
• Chu Fei ordered the discovery exposed and called for medical and scientific experts, then concluded that the Everlasting Technology Group’s control and brain-harvesting operation were even larger than he had thought.
• Chu Fei decided that he needed to break through to 16.0.

Chu Fei prepared to relocate Morning Star’s human population while strengthening the Tenglong Galaxy and cautiously cooperating with Xue Xingyu. When the Holy Spirit claimed Morning Star and its people, Chu Fei used the threat to launch a total war mobilization against them.

• Chu Fei continued iterating his Cultivation Level with data from the Five Great Groups’ computing center and ordered the reopening of the Gravitational String Channel and the evacuation of Morning Star’s humans.
• Chu Fei and Jiang Guangyuan’s team planned to screen migrants for hidden Holy Spirits, recover the virtual brains, and leave Morning Star empty before confronting the Holy Spirit.
• Chu Fei agreed to cooperate with Xue Xingyu while keeping control of core technologies, then hosted Xue Xingyu and the Sun Exploration Project Fleet on Tiger Star.
• After months of research and evacuation preparations, Holy Spirit diplomat Sabrinder Asiga Forde declared that Morning Star and its population belonged to the Holy Spirit.
• Chu Fei explained that the Holy Spirit needed human souls and that their souls could benefit human cultivators, then secured agreement to mobilize Dragon Tiger Binary Stars and Immortal Cloud Star for total war.

Chu Fei arrived at Morning Star after months of covert preparations, then killed the Holy Spirit diplomat Sabrinder Asiga Forde and launched humanity’s planned war of extermination. The chapter leaves the fleets storming the Holy Spirits’ Gaia Secret Realm as the all-out assault begins.

• Chu Fei traveled toward Morning Star while secretly deploying human fleets and misleading the Holy Spirits about humanity’s preparations.
• Chu Fei allowed public opinion to turn against him, explaining to Jiang Guangyuan and Wang Bing that the appearance of weakness would help deceive the Holy Spirits and reduce casualties.
• Chu Fei and his allies prepared weapons and debated how to counter the Holy Spirits’ Level 18.0 experts and their Power of Faith.
• Chu Fei reached Morning Star, met Sabrinder Asiga Forde in orbit, and attacked after confirming that his forces were ready.
• Chu Fei defeated Forde by destroying his Soul Orb, while human warships struck Holy Spirit ships in space and launched Plasma Bombs at the Gaia Secret Realm’s outer barrier.
• More than a thousand human ships charged into the damaged Gaia Secret Realm as Chu Fei declared the start of the war to exterminate the Holy Spirits.

Chu Fei’s long-planned assault devastated the Holy Spirit’s Gaia Secret Realm and drove the fleet toward the capital, Ensilan. After Chu Fei killed the Holy Spirit Sect Master with a hidden backdoor, he halted the bombardment and began hunting for the Holy Spirit’s Core Database.

• Humanity’s fleet bombarded the Gaia Secret Realm as its barrier collapsed, destroying Holy Spirit settlements and cities while Chu Fei watched from space.
• Chu Fei directed the fleet to encircle Ensilan, using missiles, bombs, and Electromagnetic Cannons to destroy the city’s defenses and pyramids.
• The Holy Spirit Sect Master emerged from a pyramid and attacked Chu Fei, but Chu Fei disrupted his energy and the Wisdom Tree Seed devoured him.
• Chu Fei ordered the fleet to stop bombing and begin hunting Holy Spirits while searching for their Core Database.
• Jiang Guangyuan questioned how easily the Holy Spirit had fallen, and Chu Fei credited his victory to studying their weaknesses and using Hyper-Manifold Technology.

After the Holy Spirit's defeat, Chu Fei organized rewards for hunting them and rescuing survivors, then discovered that the collapsed Gaia Secret Realm remained accessible to people with powerful souls. Searching Morning Star for the Holy Spirit's Core Database, he identified anomalous underground metal deposits and decided to investigate them himself, hoping to find knowledge that could help him cross 6.5 light-years to confront the Everlasting Technology Group.

• Jiang Hailong warned Li Liang that Chu Fei had destroyed the Holy Spirit, and Li Liang tried to delete his earlier posts cursing Chu Fei.
• Chu Fei announced rewards for hunting Holy Spirits, rescuing trapped people, and finding technology, while many people prepared expeditions to Morning Star.
• Chu Fei discovered that the collapsed Gaia Secret Realm's land remained intact and that people with sufficiently powerful souls could still enter it.
• After a month of searching the damaged Holy Spirit capital yielded no Core Database, Chu Fei, Xue Xingyu, and Jiang Guangyuan considered searching underground.
• Chu Fei used infrasound scans to identify 127 anomalous metal deposits on Morning Star, and the group concluded they would need to excavate them individually.
• Chu Fei chose an iron deposit roughly one hundred kilometers wide and decided to test his Cultivation Level by drilling down himself, hoping to find Saron technology that could aid interstellar travel.

Chu Fei studied the pressure limits of his body, then secluded himself on Water Moon Star to integrate the knowledge of Yanhuang Civilization and the Holy Spirits. His understanding of that knowledge transformed his abilities, and he began breaking through to the 16.0 Rebirth Realm.

• Chu Fei tested himself in the pressure vessel, reached twenty-seven thousand atmospheres, and stopped to improve his Cultivation Level before trying again.
• Chu Fei flew from Morning Star to Water Moon Star and used its base computers, Mind Power, and Wisdom Tree Dewdrops to analyze his accumulated knowledge.
• Chu Fei spent two years organizing the knowledge of the two civilizations into a unified system, with Yanhuang Civilization's Yin-Yang philosophy helping him reconcile contradictions.
• Chu Fei's integrated knowledge let him perceive and manipulate three-dimensional matter as though steel were soft, even though his Cultivation Level remained at 15.9999.
• Chu Fei iterated his cultivation technique, formatted his Cultivation Level to 14.0000, and recultivated to 15.9999 before beginning the calculus-based breakthrough to 16.0.

Chu Fei broke through to the 16.0 Rebirth Realm, transformed his Cosmic Brain and body, and learned that continuity was the foundation of hyper-dimensional cultivation. After testing his new strength, he created a soul backup and began planning how to develop it into a versatile clone.

• Chu Fei reached the 16.0 Rebirth Realm and understood how calculus and continuity transformed the Cosmic Brain beyond the material world's limits.
• Chu Fei completed his Cosmic Brain's transformation, began merging it with his soul, and realized he would need advanced research from the Everlasting Technology Group to progress further.
• Chu Fei spent half a year testing his breakthrough and a year virusifying his brain, then examined his greatly increased computational power, energy, and combat strength.
• Chu Fei studied Life Backup and used the Reflection Spell and Parity Conservation to create a soul backup, giving him two fields of vision and trains of thought.
• Chu Fei decided to use the backup as a disposable clone for dangerous exploration and began planning how to make clones independent, adjustable, and compatible with Accessory Brains.

After emerging from more than five years of seclusion, Chu Fei returned to Morning Star, announced plans to publish his cultivation materials, and tested his new strength. He then began exploring underground by shrinking himself and drilling through the rock.

• Chu Fei completed his Cloning Technique, created clones for use as probes and cannon fodder, and emerged from seclusion after more than five years.
• Chu Fei told Wang Shaoying to organize his cultivation materials and announced that he would release them across the Tenglong Galaxy for a fee to help rebuild society; Jiang Guangyuan and the others agreed to assist him.
• Chu Fei returned to Morning Star, where Jiang Guangyuan, Xue Xingyu, and the others congratulated him and asked about cultivation.
• Chu Fei endured a pressure test that reached three hundred thousand atmospheres, then emerged and rewarded the staff who had supported the test.
• Chu Fei prepared instruments and descended an eighty-kilometer shaft, then used Nanofluid Metal to shrink and drill into the rock toward his underground exploration target.

Chu Fei discovered and activated a Saron Civilization tomb buried deep underground, where a miniature factory began reconstructing a being from stored information and organic matter. Meanwhile, he helped establish a joint government for the Tenglong Galaxy and spread the Big Data Cultivation system, then watched the life pod’s creation and wondered whether its occupant would truly be the person it revived.

• Chu Fei reached a mine more than one thousand kilometers underground and found seven artificial spherical spaces built by the Saron Civilization.
• Chu Fei entered one sealed sphere, identified a gold miniature factory, and activated it with light, but it stopped unfolding because it lacked space.
• Chu Fei emptied his Portable Space, returned to the sphere, and collected two smaller spheres before organizing the Cultivation Technique and proposing a joint government for the Tenglong Galaxy.
• Chu Fei appointed Wang Shaoying as the first Secretary-General, and they established the galaxy’s leadership, purged corrupt organizations, and opened the Big Data Cultivation system in exchange for social contributions.
• Chu Fei and other experts moved the miniature factory into a sealed chamber, where light and added materials allowed it to unfold and print machines, a life pod, and a horned, scaled head.
• Jiang Guangyuan and the others questioned whether the life pod could restore a person’s memories, emotions, and soul, while Chu Fei watched and waited.

Chu Fei and his allies used faith to test the Saronian resurrection devices, then exploited rumors about the devices to lure away three sealed subjects while Chu Fei reconsidered the place of unorthodox cultivation. A year later, two of the three subjects had revived, and Chu Fei prepared to act.

• Chu Fei studied the Saronian printing equipment, attempted to activate it with a Soul Orb and a Level 16.0 Holy Spirit, and concluded that it might require faith.
• Chu Fei and his allies spread rumors about three god corpses and arranged for humans and Holy Spirits to seize the sealed chambers.
• Chu Fei asked Huang Li to explain the value of unorthodox cultivation and granted its practitioners an independent administrative zone in Morning Star’s Northern Hemisphere.
• Unorthodox cultivators flocked to Arctic City, while the Tenglong Galaxy’s population grew rapidly over the following year.
• Chu Fei announced that two of the three seized Saronian subjects had revived and told the gathered experts to prepare to act.

Chu Fei observed the revival of two Saronians through faith, then studied their civilization’s records and technology. With Saronian knowledge and his own expertise, he developed Gravitational String Wall-Breaking Technology and prepared to apply it to interstellar travel.

• Huang Li and the believers revived a Saronian, while Chu Fei’s group watched and proposed a state-funded experiment to awaken vegetative patients through repeated calls.
• Chu Fei arrested the cult leaders, enslaved the revived Saronian, and later captured another Holy Spirit; interrogations revealed that the revived Saronians were incomplete biological robots with vast memories.
• Chu Fei and a large research team spent four years learning Saronian language and deciphering its scientific materials, which revealed major advances in immaterial fields but no Gravitational String Technology.
• As research spread Saronian knowledge through the Tenglong Galaxy, Chu Fei developed a plan to combine the Saronian Hyper-Dimensional Algorithm with his Hyper-Manifold Algorithm to calculate Gravitational String Channels.
• Chu Fei independently completed simulations of Gravitational String Wall-Breaking Technology using advanced computers, Hadronic Material, and his knowledge of space and time.
• Chu Fei identified his stockpile of Hyper-Dimensional Metal, along with Hadronic Material and Ultra-Pure Iron technologies, as possible materials for building equipment that could withstand spacetime ripples.

Chu Fei completed and tested a Gravitational String Wall-Breaking ship, then spent five years building a nearly indestructible Hyperspace Warship from Hadronic Material. After its weapons tests succeeded, he called for volunteers to attack the Everlasting Technology Group, leaving Xue Xingyu’s response unresolved.

• Chu Fei excluded Xue Xingyu’s Sun Exploration Project Fleet from production after suspecting Xue Xingyu had a hidden problem, then built the ship’s core components at his own factory on Water Moon Star.
• Chu Fei assembled a test ship and sent it through a Gravitational String; the damaged vessel returned to Water Moon Star after successfully completing Wall-Breaking.
• Chu Fei and his researchers developed a way to process and rivet Hadronic Material, then built a 27.6-million-ton Hyperspace Warship over five years.
• The warship withstood two hours of attacks from Electromagnetic Cannons, lasers, and Particle Cannons without damage.
• Chu Fei invited cultivators at Level 15.0 or higher to join an expedition against the Everlasting Technology Group, and Jiang Guangyuan volunteered first.
• Xue Xingyu questioned whether interstellar travel could be guaranteed, then remained silent when Chu Fei asked if he would join.

Chu Fei’s fleet reached the Divine Dragon Galaxy to confront Everlasting Technology Group, but Chu Fei discovered that Xue Xingyu and the Sun Exploration Project personnel were artificial bodies carrying Eternal Life’s consciousness. After Chu Fei destroyed them, the enemy fleet fell idle, leaving the galaxy poised for the next move.

• Xue Xingyu confessed that Everlasting Technology Group was a vast technological entity and asked to be sealed away during the expedition, while the crew prepared weapons, supplies, and spatial technology for the journey.
• After more than three years of preparations, Chu Fei left Wu Yong behind and led the fleet through the Gravitational String to the Divine Dragon Galaxy, where they saw extensive metal construction and space bases around Divine Dragon Star.
• Chu Fei ordered missiles to target the seven Gravitational String Channels and directed the Hyperspace Warship toward Divine Dragon Star to seize the supercomputer array, while Everlasting Technology Group deployed its fleet.
• When the enemy fleet intercepted their missiles, Chu Fei subdued Xue Xingyu, Mo Wenqiang, and the other Sun Exploration Project personnel, then exposed them as nearly identical artificial bodies with biological-computer brains.
• Chu Fei explained that Eternal Life’s consciousness had been transferred into the artificial bodies through Quantum Communication, then ground them to dust; the surrounding warships stopped fighting, and he ordered the launched missiles shut down or destroyed.

Chu Fei explained how he uncovered Everlasting Technology Group’s plan, seized control of its vast infrastructure, and helped cleanse the Divine Dragon Galaxy. After preparing a ship, he left through a wild Gravitational String Channel to begin his journey home to Cloud Dragon Galaxy.

• Chu Fei explained that Everlasting Technology Group had concealed its collective intelligence in people like Xue Xingyu and had transferred itself into Xue Xingyu’s perfected body.
• Chu Fei detected the transfer through interference with his clone’s quantum communication, then took control of Eternal Life’s planetary infrastructure on Divine Dragon Star.
• Jiang Guangyuan and others brought in personnel from the Tenglong Galaxy, who searched and cleansed the Divine Dragon Galaxy while Chu Fei gathered Everlasting Technology Group’s data and technology.
• Chu Fei discovered that Cloud Dragon Galaxy lay at least eighty-three light-years away and decided to return using a wild Gravitational String Channel instead of waiting for a Hyper-Dimensional Channel to be built.
• Chu Fei finished preparing his spacecraft, said farewell to Jiang Guangyuan, Wang Shaoying, and Wu Yong, and accelerated past the sun before vanishing into the channel.
