Qu Jianlei and Sunset Glow killed Supreme Braun and other people on Sunset Glow’s target list, then prepared to leave Future Star as the operation began. The chapter ended with Qu Jianlei sending out the secret code for the next phase.

Qu Jianlei's team escaped a citywide search after killing Awakened Ones and raiding more than thirty Divine Script Society warehouses on Future Star. They tallied their haul in hiding as the Divine Script Society blamed hostile Nations and vowed to prevent another Tianfeng tragedy.

• Authorities traced the Mental Attacks to Brian's residence but delayed investigating, while Brian, his guest, and members of his experimental group disappeared as the attacks and warehouse robberies threw Future Star into alarm.

• Big Head Butterfly reported that the Divine Script Society had blamed hostile parties and said it would not let the Tianfeng tragedy happen again.

After the Tianfeng disaster, Qu Jianlei’s team waited out the lockdown in Hongyuan City while he sensed an unknown force tracking him. Elsewhere, an old Above Supreme used thousands of spirit stones with Divine Script Society leaders to investigate the strange workings of Luck, but stopped when the cost grew too high.

After Qu Jianlei and Jia Shuiqing tested an ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array on a desolate planet and Tianfeng Star, Qu Jianlei prepared to travel to Future Star.

• Rhine joined Digital Phantom, and Hua Xiezhi explained that she needed to replace her Inner Breath with spiritual energy before pursuing Above Supreme.

• Qu Jianlei searched the Empire's network and asked around Twilight Bar but found no information about anyone studying the secrets of fate.

• Qu Jianlei evaded an A-rank man's shove and insisted the group check surveillance footage, which confirmed that the woman had run into him.
• When one of the men refused to apologize, Qu Jianlei addressed Qian He by name and asked him to make his friend apologize, startling Qian He.

Qu Jianlei met Qian He, who accompanied him fishing and traded information about Digital Phantom and the Divine Script Society. Qian He revealed that the Society’s Military Application Research Center concealed valuable secrets, but he woke from Qu Jianlei’s mental interference before naming an expert connected to predictions about the Empire’s future.

• Qian He caught up with Qu Jianlei, asked about his investment scale, and joined him on a fishing trip.

• Qu Jianlei and Qian He fished until nearly noon the next day, and Qian He caught more fish.

Qu Jianlei investigated the Military Application Research Center with Evening Glow Senior and Yi He, where they discovered a powerful imitation of the Celestial Evolution Platform. After escaping with its Array Plate and learning Evening Glow Senior had stolen spirit stones, Qu Jianlei prepared to continue tracking the hidden legacy.

• Qian He had surveillance placed on Qu Jianlei, but Qu Jianlei changed his appearance, vanished from the cameras, and reached a forest near Hongyuan City.
• Evening Glow Senior scouted the research center and found at least a hundred thousand spirit stones, but Qu Jianlei hesitated to steal them because they might be an Imperial reserve.
• Evening Glow Senior teleported Qu Jianlei and Yi He to the building’s twelfth floor, where Yi He recognized a Celestial Evolution Platform and Qu Jianlei opened its cabinet.
• Qu Jianlei took the Taiji Bagua Array Disc, while Evening Glow Senior and Yi He escaped after the alarm sounded.
• Qu Jianlei learned that Evening Glow Senior had secretly taken spirit stones and said the legacy was not in Hongyuan City, then asked Yi He to explain the Celestial Evolution Platform.

While fishing in Tianyou, Qu Jianlei learned that the Trewba Team had been murdered and suspected that the killings and a theft from the Divine Script Society’s research center were being used to frame Digital Phantom. He decided to meet the Society in hopes of finding clues about heavenly opportunity, while Xiao Hu traced the speculation back to Hongyuan City.

• Qu Jianlei traveled to Tianyou, where Xiao Hu found an anomalous location as he searched for clues to heavenly opportunity.
• Big Head Butterfly reported that Trewba and his four teammates had been killed with Metal Attribute spells, while their six bodyguards remained unharmed.

• Yi He and Sunset Glow advised Qu Jianlei to meet the Society, and he agreed after realizing the meeting might reveal treasures connected to heavenly opportunity.
• Xiao Hu traced many claims linking Digital Phantom to the incidents back to Hongyuan City, leaving Qu Jianlei suspicious of the Society’s motives.

Qu Jianlei confronted the Divine Script Society in Hongyuan City after it demanded an explanation from Digital Phantom, overpowering its members with his presence. He accused the Society of destroying the Trewba Team and challenged its hypocrisy, leaving the accusation hanging before a stunned crowd.

• Qu Jianlei arrived at the Divine Script Society’s building at night, shattered over a hundred searchlights, and demanded that an Above Supreme come out to meet him.
• Qu Jianlei’s rebukes injured a Society member and knocked a newly advanced Above Supreme unconscious, while onlookers and city guards gathered nearby.

• Qu Jianlei rejected the Society’s demand for evidence and accused it of demanding that Digital Phantom prove it had not stolen anything.

Qu Jianlei confronted the Divine Script Society over the deaths of Trewba’s team and accused it of framing Digital Phantom. After killing two people who challenged him, he met the Society’s legendary Giant Axe in space, where Giant Axe admitted the Society had killed Trewba’s team, though not intentionally.

• Qu Jianlei accused White Mist of killing Trewba’s team to frame Digital Phantom, while White Mist denied the charge and urged him to move elsewhere.
• When two A-rank spectators interrupted and threatened him, Qu Jianlei killed them, and White Mist used his Above Supreme pressure to silence the crowd.
• Qu Jianlei pressed White Mist about Trewba, and White Mist said the team had been a gang of swindlers who deserved to die if the Society had killed them.

• Qu Jianlei accused Giant Axe of lying and challenged his dignity as an Above Supreme.

Qu Jianlei investigated the families of the six assistants across several planets but found no clear trace of the possible treasure, then traveled to Silver Wing Star to search the Ya Yi'an Family’s remaining clan members. In Everbright, an unexpected rain prompted Yi He to sense something that Qu Jianlei and Sunset Glow could not detect.

• Giant Axe refrained from tracking Qu Jianlei and arranged for the Divine Script Society to lower alarms near the Xilai Family’s important locations.
• Qu Jianlei searched Heaven’s Blessing and Ambition City, then investigated the assistants’ families on Pillar Star, Triumphant Star, and Seven Color Star without finding anything unusual.
• After Big Head Butterfly pointed out that the Ya Yi'an Family still had members on Silver Wing Star, Qu Jianlei decided to search there before giving up.
• Qu Jianlei and his companions arrived on Silver Wing Star, where Qu Jianlei sensed a vague pull toward a distant area but chose to visit the Central City first.
• In Everbright, rain began falling as Qu Jianlei and his companions explored the city, and Yi He reacted to something he sensed.

Qu Jianlei traced a divination-related treasure to a secret chamber beneath the Ya Yi'an Family’s ancestral grave, but struggled with how to obtain it without violating the family’s resting place. Yi He revealed that he had identified Federation and Alliance spies in Moliere, and the group headed back to investigate.

• Qu Jianlei searched Moliere and then a nearby town, where Big Head Butterfly identified eleven Ya Yi'an Family estates.
• Qu Jianlei located the treasure beneath the family’s ancestral grave and learned from Sunset Glow that a secret chamber lay below it.
• Qu Jianlei decided the family would need to bring the treasure out themselves, since he could not bring himself to disturb the grave.
• Yi He revealed that he had found Federation and Alliance spies in Everbright and Moliere.
• Qu Jianlei and his companions returned to Moliere in daylight, postponing further action because of the city’s surveillance.

Qu Jianlei and Yi He uncovered Alliance and Federation spies in Silverwing by searching their souls, then decided to deliver captured agents to the City Guard under the name Digital Phantom. They left five prisoners in Yongming City, where a City Guard crew discovered the message and debated what to do.

• Qu Jianlei captured three spies in Moliere, and Yi He discovered that two had altered their genes with an unstable agent from the Alliance and Federation.
• Yi He searched the Modified Warrior's soul and confirmed he was from the Federation, but both prisoners became idiots from the searches.
• Qu Jianlei rejected Sunset Glow's suggestion to frame someone from the Ya Yi'an Family and decided to report the spies as captures by Digital Phantom.
• Qu Jianlei and his companions went to Yongming City, captured five more spies, and had Xiao Hu infiltrate the South District City Guard network to leave a message.
• Three City Guards on duty saw the report claiming Digital Phantom had captured enemy spies and debated whether to dispatch officers or report it.

Qu Jianlei investigated suspected spies on Silver Wing Star as the government intensified its search and scrutinized the Ya Yi'an Family. He approached Yi Suo, revealed himself as being from Digital Phantom, and proposed a deal involving an artifact, leaving Yi Suo wondering whether their ancestor Ya Yi'an had brought the family trouble.

• City guards found five unconscious suspects in Yongming City, and investigators confirmed that all five belonged to the Empire's genetic lineage despite warnings that they had been injected with Gene Simulation Agent.
• The Silver Wing Star government launched a broad spy investigation, focused on Moliere City and the Ya Yi'an Family, while the Divine Script Society hinted that Digital Phantom was likely genuine but withheld what it knew.
• Qu Jianlei tested two suspected spies in a small city and found that soul searching turned the Alliance spy into an idiot but left the other person unharmed.
• Yi He identified a suspected spy among the Ya Yi'an Family's business associates, prompting Qu Jianlei to visit the family before its members returned from the Core Circle.
• Qu Jianlei raised his cultivation before the family's receptionist and Yi Suo, identified himself as being from Digital Phantom, warned that enemy spies had targeted the family, and proposed a deal involving an artifact.
• Yi Suo asked why the family had been targeted and wondered whether the cause was their ancestor, Ya Yi'an.

Qu Jianlei told Yi Suo that the Ya Yi'an Family had been infiltrated by an enemy spy and negotiated a reward for helping them. After the Patrol arrested the suspected spy, Qu returned to demand the item hidden beneath Ya Yi'an’s grave, leaving Yi Suo surprised and wary of the risks.

• Qu Jianlei told Yi Suo that an enemy spy had infiltrated the Ya Yi'an Family and demanded a reward for providing evidence.
• Yi Suo agreed to let Qu choose the reward, then reported the suspicious female assistant to the authorities.
• The Patrol arrested the assistant and found her identity suspicious, while the military questioned Yi Suo about Digital Phantom’s involvement.
• Qu visited Yi Suo again and demanded that he retrieve the contents of a Secret Chamber beneath Ya Yi'an’s grave.
• Qu warned that spies might be targeting the family for a magical artifact, and Yi Suo reacted with alarm.

Qu Jianlei persuaded Yi Suo to let Digital Phantom investigate the magical artifact hidden beneath Ya Yi'an's grave, and Yi Suo agreed after realizing the danger of refusing. Guided by messages from the family’s ancestors, Yi Suo opened the Secret Chamber and returned without revealing what he found.

• Qu Jianlei left after Yi Suo objected to disturbing the ancestors’ graves, then returned when Yi Suo called him back and agreed to let him decide the terms.
• Yi Suo accepted that the Ya Yi'an Family needed Digital Phantom’s protection and promised to make arrangements, while Qu Jianlei said he wanted to see who would dare intercept Digital Phantom’s business.
• Yi Suo opened Ya Yi'an’s sealed safe and found alloy plates confirming that important items were hidden in a Secret Chamber beneath the grave.
• Yi Suo brought clansmen to the cemetery for three days of rites, then entered the concealed passage to the Secret Chamber at night.
• After spending an hour inside the passage, Yi Suo emerged, bowed, and sealed the entrance again.

Qu Jianlei obtained the seashells, stone fragments, and Rouge Jade necklace recovered from Ya Yi'an’s hidden room, while Yi He identified a soul-nourishing quality in the fragments. Qu Jianlei offered Yi Suo ten billion and one future act of assistance for the items, leaving the family to decide whether to accept the bargain.

• Yi Suo encountered Black Shadow at the grave, but Qu Jianlei drove the intruder away and asked Yi Suo to bring him what he had found.
• Qu Jianlei shielded himself and Yi Suo from onlookers, and Yi Suo handed over an Item-Storing Talisman containing seashells, stone fragments, and a Rouge Jade necklace.
• Yi Suo believed the Divine Script fragments were the most valuable items, but Qu Jianlei sensed that the seashells were what had resonated with him.
• Yi He said the fragments resembled the Heart Cleansing Art and could help calm the mind and nourish a soul, though their benefit to him was limited.
• Qu Jianlei asked to take all the items and offered Yi Suo ten billion plus one act of assistance for the family, provided it did not violate public order or morality.

Yi Suo negotiated a protection deal with Qu Jianlei for the Ya Yi'an Family, while Qu Jianlei later studied the Seashells he had acquired with Yi He. The chapter ended with Qu Jianlei deciding to carve a Rouge Jade tray to support their divination.

• Yi Suo asked to exchange part of the payment for talismans and to send two family juniors to cultivate with Digital Phantom, but Qu Jianlei rejected those terms.
• Qu Jianlei offered twenty billion in cash, two billion worth of talismans, one chance for Digital Phantom to act, and public protection for the Ya Yi'an Family; Yi Suo accepted and asked that his family's juniors receive priority if Digital Phantom recruited members.
• Qu Jianlei told Yi Suo to inform the military that Digital Phantom was still refining its method for detecting spies, then left to return to Ironwood Star.
• After arriving at Misty Rain Terrace, Qu Jianlei studied the fourteen Seashells with Yi He, who explained that Seashells were the earliest medium for Li Divination and that nine of them were usable.
• Yi He advised Qu Jianlei to use a tray for divination, so Qu Jianlei decided to carve one from Rouge Jade he already had.

Qu Jianlei attempted to use Heavenly Oracle Calculation to predict when Claire would reach Above Supreme, but burning incense triggered backlash from the world's Heavenly Dao and injured him. The divination’s result remained unclear as one of the cracked Seashells split apart.

• Qu Jianlei crafted a Rouge Jade divination plate, learned Yi He's Nine Revolutions Spirit Focusing Art, and prepared to calculate Claire's future.
• Qu Jianlei felt foreboding but proceeded with the divination, then suffered backlash and spat out blood after casting the Seashells.
• Yi He realized that burning incense had provoked the world's Heavenly Dao and fled to Light Gauze Star, while Sunset Glow laughed at Qu Jianlei's misfortune.
• Qu Jianlei checked his injuries and reassured Claire and the others when they rushed to the Secret Chamber.
• Jing Yuexin asked whether the divination had succeeded, and one of the cracked Seashells split apart before Qu Jianlei could answer.

Qu Jianlei recovered from his backlash and used Rhine’s damaged Turtle Shell to prepare for another divination. When he asked when You You’s wanted notice would be revoked, the hexagram pointed toward Xiao Moshan, leaving the team to consider how she could resolve the matter without being publicly tied to Digital Phantom.

• Rhine brought Qu Jianlei a damaged Turtle Shell from her family’s estate, and he determined that it could still assist with divination.
• Jing Yuexin told Rhine not to worry about rank within Digital Phantom and offered to examine her other damaged magical artifacts.
• After further recovery and a simulated divination, Qu Jianlei began his second divination, this time asking when You You’s wanted notice would be revoked.
• Qu Jianlei’s divination produced an answer about a direction rather than a time, and he identified Tianfeng Star and Xiao Moshan as the clue.
• The team realized You You could ask Xiao Moshan to resolve her wanted status, while seeking help from Zhenshan Fort might publicly mark her as a member of Digital Phantom.

Qu Jianlei’s divination pointed You You toward Xiao Moshan as the best person to help remove her wanted notice, then he tested his abilities by searching for an ownerless damaged artifact on Ironwood Star. Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan followed his location and eventually found a battered miniature spaceship that was an artifact.

• Qu Jianlei concluded that Xiao Moshan could use his standing to help You You and pretended to suffer backlash to discourage further requests for divinations.
• Jing Yuexin and the others recognized how remarkable Qu Jianlei’s calculation was, while he resolved not to perform more divinations until he understood their risks.
• After ten days of recovery and practice with the Nine Revolutions Spirit Focusing Art, Qu Jianlei divined a location on Ironwood Star where an ownerless damaged artifact might be found.
• Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan searched the area discreetly, expanding their search after two days without results.
• Jing Yuexin found Qu Jianlei and presented him with a rusted, battered miniature spaceship, which she and Duo Gan had discovered was an artifact.

The team recovered a damaged Nascent Soul Realm Flying Shuttle and found it could be operated with enough spiritual energy, though its need for High-Grade Spirit Stones made it impractical. After studying its shrinking and expansion, Qu Jianlei made a breakthrough in artifact design and secretly set out to investigate another damaged magical artifact; Jing Yuexin noticed he had left.

• Bentley used Xiao Hu's records to connect the buried toy spaceship to a battle against wanted criminals, and Mu Guang unearthed it.
• Jing Yuexin and Duo Gan enlarged the spaceship slightly, confirming it was a damaged Nascent Soul Realm magical artifact that still seemed usable.
• Jia Shuiqing supplied enough spiritual energy to expand the Flying Shuttle, and Qu Jianlei powered it with Low-Grade Spirit Stones and read its operating guide.
• The group learned the Flying Shuttle required High-Grade Spirit Stones and lacked its weapons, so Qu Jianlei agreed to set it aside while studying its design.
• Qu Jianlei spent two months mastering how to make magical artifacts change size, then divined the location of a second damaged artifact and secretly left Misty Rain Terrace to investigate.
• Jing Yuexin noticed Qu Jianlei had disappeared.
