Chu Fei completed an Anti-de Sitter Space Cosmic Brain that solved its communication limits, then prepared for a breakthrough to 20.0 with Qingxuan True Monarch guarding him. As he underwent Formatting Re-Cultivation, a heavenly tribulation formed around him, and Qingxuan True Monarch detected that it mixed the power of heavenly punishment with its usual force.

Chu Fei, Shangguan Qinghong, and Zhou Minghao descended to confront them as the fleet passed overhead.

• Ascending Dragon Hall surveyed the Twilight Ruins, learning that its drifting continents and debris came from ancient wars and that the region was rich in carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen.
• After two years of exploration, the fleet detected a Class 3A base environment and reached a continent about one hundred thousand kilometers across, surrounded by an accretion disk and lit by nine suns.
• Chu Fei explained that the space beneath the continents was connected to the Quantum Field, while Zhao Yonghe wondered whether a Vacuum Energy Bomb could reach the world's roots.
• The fleet discovered Immortal Cultivators, Demonic Path cultivators, and faith-based gods facing off on the continent, with no Main Deity-level experts among them.
• As Ascending Dragon Hall's fleet swept past the three factions, Chu Fei, Shangguan Qinghong, and Zhou Minghao transformed their Nanofluid Metal into armor and weapons and descended toward the standoff.

Chu Fei introduced the Ascending Dragon Hall to the immortals, gods, and demons gathered on the Seven Luminaries Continent, then defeated the demonic experts and persuaded the three groups to visit his mothership. He left the groups on friendly terms and secured Shadowless Demonic Monarch’s oath of non-aggression as he sought intelligence and cooperation for the True God Competition.

Chu Fei negotiated with Shadowless Demonic Monarch over a hidden treasure, then established Ascending Dragon Hall’s base and expanded its exploration of the Seven Luminaries Continent. After suspecting the treasure lay within one of the continent’s projected suns, Chu Fei discovered a gateway inside one and invited the other factions to investigate.

• Chu Fei used spectral analysis to reveal a bronze gateway hidden in the sun and persuaded the three factions to cooperate and share the costs and spoils of exploration.
• The factions combined their methods with Ascending Dragon Hall's technology, and Lihuo Free Cultivator's insight helped them build a passage that reached the gateway and opened it.
• The sun collapsed as the gate released a vast display of golden light, and Chu Fei estimated that they had at least half a year before distant powers could arrive.
• A plaque identified the destination as the True Immortal Realm Above the Clouds, prompting experts from the Cloud Void Sect and True Demonic Sect to approach before returning together.
• Chu Fei ordered the surrounding spaceships to fire lasers, cannons, microwave radiation, and low-yield nuclear bombs at the gate.

Chu Fei and the others explored a sealed Golden Immortal’s cave, discovered a demonic formation, and collected its treasures with drones until the figure inside emerged. Chu Fei negotiated a staged cooperation deal and secured half of a Golden Immortal cultivation method, leaving the group ready to exploit the ruin further.

• Ascending Dragon Hall used drones to map the small world behind the bronze gate, and Shadowless Demonic Monarch identified a pool as a likely Heaven-Stealing Life-Exchanging Formation.
