Kashulia escaped the ruined Revival Society base, while Wei He secretly set her on a path that he expected would eventually bring her to an ally. Across the human territories, Rebooters launched wars ahead of the Desperate Wanderer game, and Wei He arrived at the gathering of Black Flame Lords, where Leimuna attacked him.

Wei He traveled hundreds of thousands of light-years into a remote nebula to attempt simulating Monarch's Heart's Blood and break through to Monarch. Meanwhile, peace talks at Myriad Scenery Mountain were attacked by the Perfection Society, which summoned Barto Salman as the negotiations descended into crisis.

• Wei He used consecutive long-range jumps to reach a remote nebula beyond the star chart, where he planned to simulate Monarch's Heart's Blood.

Gao Yiling’s attempt to escape was stopped as True Spirit Water God Barto attacked the Revivalists, prompting Lord Xuanwu to reveal itself and clash with Barto. In the Dwarf Galaxy, Wei He’s breakthrough attempts with Monarch’s Heart’s Blood failed, but simulating Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s vital essence triggered the Boundary-Breaking Pearl and exposed him to a vision of the universe’s origin.

• Gao Yiling activated an emergency communicator, but an unknown spirit art immobilized him before he could escape.

• The Boundary-Breaking Pearl reacted to Wei He’s simulation, opening a black hole whose light showed him the universe reversing to its origin.
• Wei He saw an immense figure at the beginning of everything, and its gaze sent a torrent of information and insights into his mind.

After his attempt to simulate Primordial Heavenly Venerate nearly destroyed him, Wei He recovered and gained a new violet-tinged perception that revealed the threads of rules woven through matter. He followed a golden point of light to a black hole, where he began questioning the nature of its golden rule threads.

• Wei He’s simulation collapsed when Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s passing gaze nearly shattered his body and mind, but his injuries soon healed.
• Wei He realized he had confirmed Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s existence and received information from the being, though it did not seem to belong to his world.
• Wei He discovered that his psychic energy had turned pale violet and that he could see objects as networks of colored threads representing different rules.
• Wei He left his spacecraft and examined the nebula, an asteroid, and the surrounding space through his new perception.
• Wei He spotted a golden point in the nebula, jumped toward it, and discovered it was a black hole.
• Wei He recalled humanity’s classifications of black holes, black tubes, and black abysses, and wondered why the black hole’s rule threads appeared gold.

Wei He sent a subsidiary body into the golden black hole and discovered a ruined temple containing a headless statue. The statue’s memories revealed an ancient Whole Human’s failed experiment, which Wei He identified as the Divine Authority Status and Ascension Ritual.

• Wei He sent a subsidiary body toward the black hole, where gravity stretched and compressed it until it reached the black sphere’s surface.
• Wei He used a Star Number Worm body to withstand the pressure, saw golden light with his purple eyes, and drilled into the sphere.
• Wei He entered a ruined white temple, approached its headless golden statue, and evaded its attacks until falling rubble buried it.
• A golden light merged with Wei He, and the black hole crumbled into white debris as the information from the subsidiary body reached his main body.
• Wei He pieced together that an ancient Whole Human had created the black hole after a failed experiment, then committed suicide after a mental breakdown.
• Wei He learned that the experiment was called the Divine Authority Status and Ascension Ritual.

First Prince Noxi began a galaxy-wide sacrifice to achieve dimensional ascension and unleashed the Perfection Society’s assault on rival powers. As the Immortal Council struggled to respond, Councilor Duramid revealed that the Revival Society’s goal might be to revive ancient gods.

• Noxi fused the Everla Galaxy into a burning heart and explained to Jin De that the Eternal Soul Crown would enable ascension to a higher dimension.
• Noxi began the sacrifice, and Perfection Society members launched strategic weapons against civilian galaxies while three True Spirits attacked Alliance forces.

• Councilor Duramid told Malong that the Revival Society’s purpose might include reviving gods from the ultra-ancient era.

The Immortal Council learned that the Revival Society's ancient god system had a vast hierarchy and agreed to vote on its acceptance. Meanwhile, Wei He began a Divine Throne Ascension Ritual by absorbing stars, leaving Kashulia and He Bing to investigate the collapse of sixteen star systems.

• Duramid told the Immortal Council that the Revival Society's Four Sacred Beasts were guards in a larger ancient god system, with seventy-two Black Tortoises and ranks extending up to Heavenly Venerables.
• Yue Sai said the Revival Society would join the war only if Heart of Myriad Woods ended its strict surveillance and recognized it as a legitimate organization, then called for a vote.
• Wei He studied the Divine Throne Ascension Ritual and decided to attempt dimensional ascension by absorbing a star, using his Boundary-Breaking Pearl to reduce the risks.
• Wei He destroyed his subordinate body and transferred to a star, where a Three-legged Golden Crow briefly appeared before the star collapsed and vanished.
• Kashulia witnessed all six stars in the Yadu Star System disappear and warned He Bing, who said sixteen star systems across the borders of the three great empires had lost their stars.

Wei He compressed the more than twenty stars he had absorbed, endured the crushing pressure of dimensional ascension, and used the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to force a breakthrough. He awakened in what appeared to be a lifeless new dimension, where the stars he had devoured existed only as tiny spheres of light, and found a barren planet covered in green mineral veins.

• Wei He lowered the temperatures of the stars within him, intensifying their gravity until light and matter collapsed inward.
• As the pressure compressed Wei He to the size of a coin and threatened to destroy his soul, he triggered the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to force a breakthrough.
• Wei He lost consciousness as the black sphere he had become cracked and fell through a hole.
• Wei He awakened in the same location but sensed that the surrounding universe belonged to a different dimension, and found the Boundary-Breaking Pearl drained.
• Wei He traveled to a nearby star system and discovered that a green-looking planet was barren, with its color coming from vast mineral veins.

Wei He escaped the eighth layer of the True World after its distortions drove him toward suicide, then discovered he could reach for distant stars. As the Black Tortoise neared defeat against Barto, a gigantic golden hand appeared and crushed Barto in a single grasp.

• Wei He found every star system in the eighth layer empty of life and struck his own head, then remembered that the Evil Layer twisted the nature of everything within it.
• Wei He used stellar power to escape the eighth layer and returned to a populated star system, where he realized that his rule-lines had also been distorted.
• Wei He left to test his newly ascended power and felt that he could pluck distant star systems from space.
• Barto overwhelmed the exhausted Black Tortoise while factions across the star realm watched the battle, and He Bing prepared to intervene.
• A gigantic golden hand reached across the Starry Sky, seized Barto, and crushed him.

After the golden hand crushed Bartow, the Immortal Council and Knosus reassessed the Revival Society’s power, and the two factions later signed a peace agreement. In the Star Abyss, Wei He reached Monarch and Barron recognized his transformation, inviting him to meet two others.

• Noxi and the True Spirit avatars agreed to prioritize the Revival Society and hasten their offerings after witnessing the golden hand defeat Bartow.
• The Immortal Councilors debated the giant hand’s possible identity, then decided to monitor the Revival Society without hostile actions and seek talks with its leaders.
• The Revival Society and the Immortal Council signed the Thirteen Covenants of Peaceful Coexistence, while Knosus launched a devastating offensive and the Star Abyss Beast Tide stopped.
• Nine Rebooters reached the palace guarded by the first Black Flame Lord, while Barron and the other Black Flame Lords watched their attempt to challenge it.
• Barron sensed that Wei He’s soul had transformed into a Monarch’s and congratulated him, then invited him to meet two other Monarchs.

Wei He returned to Star Abyss, where Barron recognized him as a newly ascended Monarch and revealed that a local True Spirit had emerged in the Shengyun River System. Barron tested the power behind Wei He’s breakthrough, and Wei He’s display of ancient, overwhelming aura left Barron realizing that his assumptions had been wrong.

• Wei He watched the Desperate Wanderer game with Barron and explained that it was too early to predict who would win the Heavenly Ladder.
• A crystal skull reported that a gelatinous embryo in the Shengyun River System had absorbed psionic energy and that the Mother River had produced a True Spirit.
• Barron announced that a new Monarch had ascended and identified Wei He, then took him away to speak privately.
• Barron asked how Wei He had broken through without Monarch’s Heart’s Blood, and Wei He implied that a powerful existence had granted him a similar catalyst.
• Wei He revealed purple light in his eyes, exposing a trace of the power behind him, and Barron felt an ancient, vast aura that overturned his assumptions.

Wei Heng and his godmothers investigated a Perfection Society attack on a remote mining planet, while a mysterious computer selected them as candidates. Elsewhere, Wei He advanced an offspring body to Monarch and explored another black hole, where he found a strange realm of darkness and falling light.

• Yuan Du Zi told Wei Heng and his companions that she had sent their Perfection Society findings to the Alliance and that they were waiting for approval.
• An explosion struck the mining planet, and Perfection Society biomechanical suits attacked nearby spacecraft and a lone Alliance fighter.
• Yuan Du Zi and Song Chaochao rushed to aid the fighter while Yuan Du Zi ordered the others to protect Wei Heng.
• A computer in a derelict spacecraft activated, revised a prophecy, and named Song Chaochao, Yuan Du Zi, He Bing, and Wei Heng as optimal candidates before deleting its data.
• Wei He described his plan to cultivate an artificial Divine Court and sent a Monarch-level Three-legged Golden Crow offspring body into a black hole.
• Wei He found a soundless black realm beneath waterfalls of colored light, while Bilian watched him set down his spoon and speak.

Wei He explored a black hole and found clues linking the pre-Dayuan civilization to Yuan Jun and someone named Jiuguang. He then followed Barron into Star Abyss, where Delma served a meal made from inhabited planets, leaving Wei He facing the other diners’ expectant gazes.

• Wei He found a silver fragment in the black hole bearing an ancient message that asked whether Yuan Jun had truly disappeared and whether his final step had succeeded.
• Wei He entered an ancient hall inside the black hole, searched its wreckage, and found a golden metal page mentioning Jiuguang and an expedition to a place that might hold hope.
• Barron led Wei He into a silver cluster at Star Abyss’s galactic core, where he met Delma and the elderly Xilong in a restaurant called Delma’s Home.
• Delma served the group soybeans and pork ribs, but Wei He saw that the soybeans were inhabited planets and realized the meal’s ingredients were horrifying.
• Wei He set down his spoon as Delma, Barron, and Xilong watched him to see what he would do.

Wei He learned that the eighth level distorted everything without the protection of a cave abode, while the war between Knosus and the coalition forces erupted into a clash between Jin De’s Overlord Dragon Machine Body and He Bing’s Eternal Star Dragon. The two pilots’ battle escalated as He Bing tried to stop Jin De, who summoned the power of the White Dragon King and declared he was no longer the person he once was.

• Wei He explained that he would not kill people for food, then ate the flesh Delma had made and asked about the eighth level.
• Delma and Xilong told Wei He that the eighth level warped everything and that a cave abode was needed to endure it; Xilong also mentioned the Life Garden.
• Two days later, Jin De piloted the Overlord Dragon Machine Body against the coalition forces, empowered by the half-True Spirit Broken White Dragon King Osiris.
• Coalition forces hit Jin De with a mobile black hole net, but his machine recovered before he could unleash its golden attack.
• He Bing’s Eternal Star Dragon struck Jin De’s machine and fought him at high speed as He Bing urged him to resist the power controlling him.
• He Bing launched Double Dragon Flash, but Jin De blocked the attack with a golden rune disc and merged with the enormous phantom of a white dragon.
