• The pair saw the Cult Master of Rebirth forming a dark crimson spatial gate and charged at the altar to stop him.

After escaping the Star Abyss of Buried Gods, Xuan Nü, Li Wuyang, and the Master of Qingwei Temple learned that the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat had suffered a series of precisely targeted infiltrations. Xuan Nü ordered them to return and secure the boat, while the threat of a hidden mastermind and restless forces across the star sea remained unresolved.

• Xuan Nü, Li Wuyang, and the Master of Qingwei Temple left the Star Abyss of Buried Gods aboard the Star Scar Ship and considered the Cult Master of Rebirth's strange final actions and the Lord of Annihilation.
• Several days later, the Star Scar Ship returned to normal starfields and received an urgent report from the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat's inspector.
• The inspector reported that a guard elder had vanished, ancient texts about star maps and the Primordial Stone Coffin had been stolen, and a Tianshu Sword Sect envoy had suffered memory loss while records about the Cult of Rebirth disappeared.
• Li Wuyang suspected a deeply placed mole or multiple infiltrators, while Xuan Nü learned that several previously neutral Ancient Starry Races had become unusually active.
• Xuan Nü ordered the group to return to the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat and root out the mole before confronting threats beyond it.

Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang investigated the hidden sabotage aboard the Sky Patrol Immortal Boat and laid a false-information trap to expose the traitor. On the seventh night, an invisible energy stream touched the bait, and they traced it to an energy allocation node in the northeast district.

• The Inspector reported the elder's disappearance, stolen texts, and damaged memories to Xuan Nü, Li Wuyang, Ling Xiao Sword Master, and Wonderful Sound Bodhisattva.
• Xuan Nü concluded that the incidents were linked and proposed baiting the hidden enemy with forged intelligence about the Primordial Stone Coffin or the Lord of Annihilation.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang created a false jade slip and set up a Chaos Mirror Net and Nirvana Tracing Array around it.
• After seven days, Li Wuyang detected an intangible energy stream entering the secret chamber and targeting the jade box.
• The arrays traced the energy stream to the seventh energy allocation node in Section C of the northeast district, and Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang rushed to capture its source.

Li Wuyang and Xuan Nü tracked an invisible probe to a hidden puppet aboard the immortal vessel and captured it before it could escape or self-destruct. Far away, a black-robed figure saw the puppet’s signal go dark and said the plan had already begun.

• Li Wuyang and Xuan Nü found a Shadow Puppet Beacon hidden in an energy conduit and planted a tracking mark on it.
• Xuan Nü traced the beacon’s controller to the Third Supplies Warehouse in G-section, where they interrupted a spatial escape.
• Li Wuyang and Xuan Nü stopped the puppet’s scattered motes from escaping and trapped the last three, which fused into a rune-built humanoid puppet.
• Xuan Nü dismantled the puppet’s self-destruction sequence and sealed its dark-red crystal before taking it into custody.
• A black-robed figure aboard a concealed starship saw the puppet’s signal vanish and said the plan had already begun.

Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang dissected the captured shadow puppet and uncovered evidence that the Cult Master of Rebirth served a mysterious being beyond the Annihilation Star Sea. After the puppet transmitted a fragment of information before its core was destroyed, they ordered maximum alert and reconnaissance toward the signal’s source.

• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang brought the sealed shadow puppet to Cardinal Hall’s secret chamber, where Xuan Nü analyzed its deathly crystal core.
• Xuan Nü extracted a memory fragment showing the Cult Master of Rebirth kneeling before a silver-eyed figure and undergoing a brutal transformation.
• Xuan Nü suspected the silver-eyed figure was an invader from beyond the Annihilation Star Sea and warned that other figures might have been controlled or replaced.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang traced a faint spatial signal toward the depths of boundless chaos, triggering the puppet’s self-destruction and information-transmission program.
• Xuan Nü and Li Wuyang suppressed the explosion but failed to stop a fragment of information from escaping, so Xuan Nü ordered maximum alert and high-grade reconnaissance fleets toward the signal’s source.

After the recovered puppet message revealed that the Finality Council planned to harvest the star sea, Xuan Nü and the Star Sea Alliance prepared for an existential war. Months later, the alliance discovered an artificial anomaly beyond the Annihilation Star Sea as covert objects infiltrated the region, and Xuan Nü ordered the army to first-level readiness.

• Xuan Nü, Li Wuyang, and the elders deciphered fragments revealing the Finality Council's Harvest Era, its plan to treat the universe as a pasture, and its targeting of Xuan Nü and a chaotic variable.
• Xuan Nü declared a war for survival, and the Star Sea Alliance mobilized its resources, expanded its forces, and began producing warships and weapons.

• Xuan Nü ordered the entire army to first-level war readiness and prepared to welcome the intruders.

Li Wuyang and Master of Qingwei Temple ambushed three Cleaners and captured two, but the third sent an alarm that drew a vastly more powerful pursuer.

They began trying to reverse-engineer the Cleaners while Xuan Nü sent scouts toward the enemy's assembly site, leaving the alliance racing to prepare for war.

• Xuan Nü, Li Wuyang, and the alliance's experts examined the sealed Cleaner units and found that they were soulless tools powered by systematized Annihilation energy.
• Xuan Nü breached a Cleaner's outer shielding, and the Myriad Stars Mirror deciphered fragments identifying the Finality Council, a high-priority target called the Chaos Nirvana Individual, and a planned purification operation.
• The Inspector and Ling Xiao Sword Master realized that the enemy viewed their universe as a target and had marked Li Wuyang for elimination.
• Xuan Nü identified the Ruins Corridor as the Cleaners' assembly site, and Li Wuyang proposed imitating their signals to mislead or infiltrate the enemy.
• Li Wuyang and the alliance's Formation Grandmasters and Rune Masters began reverse-engineering the Cleaner samples as Xuan Nü dispatched scouts and mobilized resources for war.

• Li Wuyang used his Chaos Nirvana Dao Essence to resonate with the Cleaner's Annihilation Core and successfully planted a divine sense backdoor.
• Xuan Nü and the others approved a plan to capture an isolated Cleaner, and Li Wuyang led the Master of Qingwei Temple and three Golden Immortals aboard the Shadow Phantom Ship.
• The team bypassed the Cleaners' warning network and isolated an older patrol ship by sending it a disguised malfunction order.
• Li Wuyang invaded the target Cleaner's core and overcame its resistance with a Chaos Nirvana Divine Soul Imprint.
• The team escaped aboard the Shadow Phantom Ship with the captured, controlled Cleaner before the other patrol ships could break free.

Li Wuyang and the crew escaped the Scavenger pursuit with a captured unit, but the theft provoked The Finality Council to escalate its response. The Council ordered the Destroyer fleet mobilized, placing the Star Sea Alliance in greater danger.

Li Wuyang and the Chaos Nirvana Workshop studied the captured Scavenger and discovered a way to use Nirvana power against its annihilation technology. Their first weapon and defensive formation showed promise, giving the alliance a potential counter to the Destroyer fleet.

• Li Wuyang examined the Scavenger and proposed using Chaos Nirvana Dao to guide or reverse its annihilation power.

• Li Wuyang regarded the successful experiments as the alliance’s first step toward countering its enemies.

The Destroyer Fleet reached the Rock Defense Line and demonstrated its overwhelming power, crippling three fortress planets with its existence-erasure rays. Xuan Nü’s newly completed Circumference Nirvana Pure Light Formation blocked the next volley, and the Alliance launched a counterattack as the battle intensified.

• The Destroyer Fleet arrived at the Rock Defense Line with over ten thousand warships and three Destroyer-class flagships.
• Xuan Nü activated the Starfall Thunder Sea grand formation, but the fleet’s Law Deflection Shields dispersed the Annihilation Divine Thunders.

• Xuan Nü ordered the Alliance forces to attack and entangle the Destroyer Fleet as the battle for the fortresses began.

As the Star Sea Alliance’s defenses faltered against the Destroyer Fleet, Li Wuyang used a Nirvana Barrier-Breaking Arrow to pierce a flagship’s shield and disrupt its systems. His strike let the Alliance damage the flagship for the first time, though the battle remained desperate.
