Noxi’s Perfection Society threatened to overwhelm its enemies by trading war casualties for True Spirit power, while Wei He prepared the Revival Society to seek aid and offered Balldias a chance to overcome his limits. The chapter ended with Balldias confronting his craving for Wei He’s golden blood.

• Noxi learned that the Perfection Society had occupied about 9.376 billion inhabited Star Systems and considered offering them to the Mother River for a reward.
• Yuesai and Kofila concluded that the Revival Society could not stop the Perfection Society alone, and Wei He appeared to tell them they needed aid and to offer up everything they possessed.
• Wei He approached Balldias in disguise and explained that Balldias’s stalled advancement might be caused by Star Abyss itself rather than by his own flaws.
• Balldias agreed to consider Wei He’s offer in exchange for help, and Wei He presented a drop of golden blood that awakened an intense craving in him.

Wei He began expanding the Three-legged Golden Crow’s power by sharing its original True Blood with thousands of subordinate bodies for his Divine Court plan. Meanwhile, Balldias’s transformation continued, leaving him stronger and increasingly disgusted by Star Abyss chaos.

• Wei He relaxed with Bilian and Maris on World-Encompassing Star, while Bilian urged him to check on their son and Wei He suggested having more children.
• Wei He realized his Three-legged Golden Crow bloodline could control nearly forty stars and traveled to Revivalist One to oversee Kofila’s cultivation ceremony.
• Wei He distributed original Golden Crow True Blood among thousands of subordinate bodies and ordered them to spread through nearby star systems to claim stars for him.
• Balldias hosted Black Flame Lords and reflected on how Wei He’s blood had formed a heart within him, completed his life blueprint, and advanced him to the middle rank.
• Balldias grew increasingly repulsed by the chaotic behavior of the Star Abyss creatures he had once tolerated.

Balldias convinced six Black Flame Lords to accept the Revival Society’s benefits after explaining how Wei He’s golden blood had repaired his life blueprint. A year later, Wei He attempted to use the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to simulate Azure Dragon True Blood, glimpsed the Primordial Heavenly Venerate again, and resolved to keep learning from it despite the danger.

• Balldias told six Black Flame Lords that Ghost Person’s golden blood had rapidly advanced him by repairing his life blueprint.
• Cassibed and the other lords discussed the Revival Society’s origins and power, then agreed they could take its benefits while watching how events unfolded.
• A year later, Wei He noted that his cells had spread through nearly half of human river systems as the Star Abyss and Mother River forces clashed and human factions united.
• Wei He used the recharged Boundary-Breaking Pearl to attempt to simulate Azure Dragon True Blood and saw the Primordial Heavenly Venerate more clearly than before.
• The Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s information overwhelmed Wei He and caused his head to explode, but his body recovered, and he decided to try again.

Wei He repeatedly simulated the Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s aura, gaining rule knowledge that advanced his Azure Dragon True Skill and helped the Wall of Eternal Slumber establish a path beyond Monarch. He switched to a distant subsidiary body to continue the process, but the simulations weakened and stopped after thirty-two attempts.

• Wei He simulated the Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s aura 999 times, absorbing rule information that strengthened his body and psychic energy and advanced his Azure Dragon True Skill.
• Wei He discovered that he had gained the Azure Dragon divine seat through rule comprehension without fusing Azure Dragon True Blood.
• Wei He used the Wall of Eternal Slumber to organize the information and optimize the Evolutionary Codex, which outlined ranks beyond Monarch and identified Dominator as the final target realm.
• Wei He switched to a subsidiary body in a distant spacecraft and planned to cultivate the White Tiger True Skill by simulating the Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s essence again.
• Wei He learned that reaching the Ziwei Great Emperor required fusing with more than one hundred million life-bearing planets and obtaining its natal essence as a catalyst.
• Wei He continued simulating the essence, but the information dwindled until the fissure vanished on the thirty-second attempt.

Wei He failed to reopen the fissure to the Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s universe, then used the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to seek a suitable divine essence blood on its own and opened another fissure. Meanwhile, Wei Heng worked with Song Chaochao’s team while avoiding going home, troubled by evidence linking his father to the Revival Society.

• Wei He discovered that the universe had repaired the fissure, then reasoned that the Primordial Heavenly Venerate’s path might cost him his sense of self.
• Wei He tried simulating other supreme beings and divine beast blood, but the Boundary-Breaking Pearl could not reproduce them.
• Wei He instructed the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to find the strongest harmless divine essence blood suited to him and the White Tiger True Skill, and a black fissure opened.
• A rumor about the Wish Fulfillment Book spread across the human allied forces as the Mother River and Star Abyss fought near the Jiudu River System.
• Wei Heng accepted a child-kidnapping investigation commission from Song Chaochao’s team, while Song Chaochao, Yuan Du Zi, and Li Rong discussed why he avoided returning home.
• Yuan Du Zi and Li Rong recalled that investigations into Wei He and the Revival Society had repeatedly ended with investigators disappearing, and suspected Wei Heng had seen the files about his father.

Wei Heng rushed to a kidnapping scene while observers vanished, and Wei He completed a breakthrough that transformed him into a colossal Shadow Dragon. His altered vision revealed a mysterious gate and countless broken human-face statues before a voice sent him back, leaving him to investigate his new form.

• Wei Heng received Song Chaochao’s urgent commission and raced toward the basement at 178 Ansheng Street as a bald man and woman watched him before disappearing.
• Wei He ended his simulation, then transformed in space into a huge mass of flesh and emerged as a several-thousand-kilometer-long Shadow Dragon.
• Wei He’s new eye showed him strange beings and a vast stone human face bearing an inscription that mentioned Lin Shi and the Allhuman.
• Wei He saw a golden circular gate that exerted a powerful pull on him, but a distant male voice warned him away and returned his vision to normal.
• Wei He asked the Wall of Eternal Slumber to analyze his experience, and it identified his form as closely resembling a Shadow Dragon described by the Kohn Institute.

Wei He tested the Shadow Dragon’s abilities and discovered that it could traverse between layers and places but could neither attack nor defend. After researching the ninth True World layer, he uncovered a record of an ancient rhythm whose message seemed to echo the golden door he had seen, leaving him unsettled.

• Wei He entered the eighth True World layer with the Shadow Dragon and found that Monarch-level attacks could neither touch nor harm it.
• After testing the Shadow Dragon for half an hour, Wei He concluded that its sole ability was traversal, which left it unable to affect most things while in its void state.
• Wei He returned to the spacecraft, created winged hands from his flesh to operate its controls, and asked the Wall of Eternal Slumber for information about the golden door and the ninth layer.
• Wei He reviewed millions of records and found research by Tailander, who claimed that a rhythm had persisted across planets for tens of millions of years.
• Wei He listened to Tailander’s recording, in which the researcher said the rhythm’s message was “It’s coming,” and connected it to the golden door he had seen.

Wei He tested how to merge life-bearing planets into his divine throne and sent golden birds to accelerate the process. Meanwhile, Wei Heng’s office received the Wish Fulfillment Book’s core, a covert group prepared to exploit it, and Noxi ordered a search for its missing controller.

• Wei He confirmed that his Shadow Dragon subordinate body could explore the eighth level, then planned to use it to strengthen the Revival Society while advancing his main body’s evolution.
• Wei He entered a Star Abyss planet and successfully merged with its core, then created tens of thousands of golden birds to fuse with other planets and expand his divine throne’s control.
• Wei Heng received a package containing what Song Chaochao and Yuan Du Zi identified as the Wish Fulfillment Book’s main body.
• Translucent figures aboard a passing merchant ship revealed that they had delivered the Book as bait to draw out the Perfection Society and the Revival Society, which they considered threats to humanity.
• Noxi learned that the master controller of Fransha’s Wish Fulfillment Book plan had disappeared and ordered Pano to recover it or face punishment.

After the Wish Fulfillment Book crystal merged into Yuan Du Zi and her companions, they uncovered signs of a Perfection Society plot and were attacked while investigating. Wei He went to protect them, but a group of Immortals trapped him and identified him as a Revival Society leader.

• Noxi worried that losing the Wish Fulfillment Book controller would prevent him from summoning the higher True Spirit he had targeted.
• The Wish Fulfillment Book crystal exploded into fragments that merged into Wei Heng, Yuan Du Zi, Song Chaochao, Li Rong, and Sarah, rapidly increasing their psychic energy.
• Yuan Du Zi ordered the group to report the incident, but the footage showed no crystal, the Dome of Heaven found nothing wrong, and the courier could not be located.
• Perfection Society colonies attacked Yuan Du Zi's group; Yuan Du Zi defeated twelve colonies and their Ascendant leader before an Immortal-level psychic force seized at their escaping aircraft, which Song Chaochao helped them evade.
• Wei He left the core of a star to aid Yuan Du Zi's group, but six Immortals trapped him in a spirit art cage while a golden-armored man sent someone to retrieve the Wish Fulfillment Book controller.

The Perfection Society sealed Wei He's Golden Crow subordinate body while a hidden group plotted to provoke a war by killing the Revival Society president's son. As Resala revealed her identity to defend her companions from a Perfection Society fleet, Yuan Du Zi prepared a desperate jump to an unknown destination.

• Minoen of the Star of Wind sealed Wei He's Golden Crow subordinate body into a golden bead and warned him that the Perfection Society did not fear the Revival Society's Monarch.
• Li Rong escaped the mining planet with Wei Heng, Song Chaochao, Yuan Du Zi, and Sarah aboard a transforming spacecraft, but spatial disruption stopped their jump.
• A Perfection Society fleet emerged and attacked the spacecraft with its capture cannons.
• Sarah revealed that she was Resala Dongting, Imperial Princess of Knosus and its highest Grand Marshal, then blocked the fleet's opening cannon blast with her shield.
• As the fleet's bombardment cracked Resala's shield, Yuan Du Zi coordinated a dangerous coordinate jump and said the group had only one place left to go.

Li Rong, Yuan Du Zi, and the others fled into Penza Empire territory, but Knosus’s fleet pursued and attacked them. Wei He appeared as a planet-sized golden bird, destroyed the fleet, and then confronted the True Spirit projection that arrived to hunt them.

• Li Rong brought the group into Penza Empire territory and said they would seek Wei Heng’s father for protection.
• Knosus’s fleet caught up with the ship and fired its main cannons before the group could jump away.
• A gigantic golden bird shielded the ship and destroyed tens of thousands of warships with its gaze before transforming into Wei He.
• Wei He reunited with Yuan Du Zi and Wei Heng, while Resala warned that the Perfection Society would send a True Spirit after them.
• Wei He revealed that the True Spirit was already there and blocked a green beam with a hand of golden flames as a giant green python emerged.

Noxi ordered Minoen to probe the Revival Society while preparing to summon stronger True Spirits. Wei He killed Minoen with the power of a colossal finger, protected the spacecraft, and left to confront the Perfection Society, while the others wondered whether he served an ancient god.

• Noxi destroyed an entire star system to kill the former Imperial Intelligence director, then learned that his imperial sister was involved with the Revival Society and that Minoen had gone to investigate it.
• Noxi allowed Minoen to act as he wished, intending to use his encounter with the Revival Society to measure the strength of its Sovereign.
• Wei He told Minoen he wanted to study True Spirits, then summoned a colossal finger that crushed Minoen's projection and sent it back to the Mother River.
• Wei He offered to help Yuan Du Zi escape her physical limits and wrapped her spacecraft in golden flame to keep its passengers safe.
• Wei He said he would probe the Perfection Society and departed, while Wei Heng, Song Chaochao, and Resala questioned whether he was serving an ancient god.

Wei He invaded Knosus, destroying a vast fleet and burning a path toward its heartland while absorbing star cores and strengthening his divine office. As Knosus prepared to intercept him, the Dome of Heaven plotted to capture Wei Heng’s soul and intensify the conflict.

• Wei He destroyed the Knosus border legion with a golden fireball, and Revival Society members prayed as he flew toward Knosus’s heartland.
• Noxi dismissed the loss of the fleet and sent Barto and Osiris to intercept Wei He near the new defensive ring, where Mother of Earth Ying was stationed.
• The Dome of Heaven agreed to work with the Legendary Ones to capture Wei Heng’s soul and push the conflict to its extreme.
• Wei He burned through star systems and battle stars, absorbing life-planet star cores as his Evolutionary Codex advanced and his divine office grew.
• Wei He sensed his divine office expanding toward the powers of life and decided he could try to swallow the Perfection Society if his strength proved sufficient.

Wei He confronted three powerful True Spirits outside the Lyra System, while the Legendary Ones observed and discussed the Mother River and its hierarchy. As Osiris attacked in his colossal Burning Monarch form, Wei He summoned a golden hand to meet its blow.

• Hand explained the Legendary Ones’ classification of True Spirits and their connection to the Mother River, while the others questioned the ancient god system and the River’s changing nature.
• Wei He arrived at Knosus’s defensive perimeter, where Mother of Earth Ying confronted him and revealed that most of her power had descended.
• Osiris and Barto joined Ying, and Barto called for an attack, but Osiris struck him for trying to command him.
• Osiris transformed into the colossal Burning Monarch and reached down to seize Wei He above the Lyra System.
• Wei He raised a golden light curtain and summoned a massive golden hand from a vortex to strike against Osiris’s descending hand.

Wei He defeated Osiris after Mother of Earth Ying and Bato joined the fight, while observers concluded that the Perfection Society’s hidden leader Noxi might be behind its unexplained victories. The confrontation was broadcast across the Penza Empire, advancing Yuesai and Wei He’s plan to integrate the Revival Society and humanity.

• Wei He merged with a giant Golden Crow form and overwhelmed Osiris, but Mother of Earth Ying and Bato restrained him so Osiris could attack with a black-hole spear.
• Wei He grew another pair of arms, caught the spear, broke free of the True Spirits’ restraints, and destroyed Osiris with the weapon.
• The Legendary Ones discussed the Revival Society’s strength and Brain suggested that Noxi might have secretly manipulated the Perfection Society’s conflicts with True Spirits.
• Factions across the Eastern Extreme Alliance and other powers watched the clash, while Yuesai broadcast it throughout the Penza Empire using the Heart of Myriad Woods.
• Yuesai and Wei He continued developing the Divine Court Plan to integrate human society with the Revival Society’s ancient gods.

Wei He defeated the Revival Society’s three True Spirits and then fought Noxi to a stalemate, while both sides concealed their strongest abilities. After accomplishing his goals of intimidating the Perfection Society and merging with more than a million Life Planet Star Cores, Wei He began discussing an end to the fight with Noxi.

• Wei He shattered the Mother of Earth’s wall and defeated Osiris, Barto, and the Mother of Earth, leaving the Perfection Society’s gathered True Spirits reluctant to fight for Noxi.
• When the other True Spirits refused to confront Wei He, Noxi left the Fate Star Mothership and transformed to face him himself.
• Wei He and Noxi battled in colossal forms above the Shengyun River System, unleashing enough power to tear open a black hole that swallowed them into the Evil Layer.
• Wei He and Noxi pulled away from each other in the Evil Layer and agreed that neither could win without revealing their hidden trump cards.
• Wei He reflected that he had achieved his aims, including scattering his offspring and merging with more than a million Life Planet Star Cores, and began telling Noxi that they had no absolute reason to be enemies.

After the battle between Noxi and Knosus vanished into the Evil Layer, Wei Heng and his companions realized they had been used as bait in a plot to provoke the Perfection Society and Revival Society. An attempt to assassinate Wei Heng failed, and Wei He hunted the attackers, identifying them as the Legendary Ones, who repeatedly escaped his pursuit.

• Wei Heng, Yuan Du Zi, Li Rong, Song Chaochao, and Resala watched reconstructed footage of Noxi and Knosus fighting before both disappeared into the Evil Layer.
• Yuan Du Zi blocked a flying needle aimed at Wei Heng, but a hidden spike blew apart his head; his body and brain matter then reassembled, revealing a safeguard made from Wei He's flesh.
• The Legendary Ones hiding nearby realized Wei Heng's soul had been protected and discussed how the failed attack threatened their plan to intensify conflict between the Perfection Society and Revival Society.
• Wei He sensed the attack, searched for the attackers with his subordinate bodies, and destroyed their spacecraft, but the Legendary Ones escaped through long-range movement.
• Wei He tracked the Legendary Ones to another spacecraft and destroyed it as well, then recognized them as the organization behind the attacks and disruptions.

The Revival Society and Perfection Society ceased fighting, while Wei He returned to his peaceful family life and explained his reasons for seeking unity to his companions. Yuan Du Zi chose to join the Revival Society and pursue the ancient gods’ path, and Wei He promised he had prepared it for her.

• The Legendary Ones’ spaceships exploded in golden flashes, and Wei He and Noxi returned unharmed as their factions called a ceasefire and withdrew.
• Wei Heng returned home excited by Wei He’s battle against the Perfection Society, but Bilian initially dismissed his claims as nonsense.
• Wei He gave Bilian a bracelet for her birthday and extended her lifespan, while she treated his displays of power as jokes.
• Wei He told Yuan Du Zi, Li Rong, Song Chaochao, and Resala that he sought power to protect people and unify the world, though Li Rong questioned his reasoning.
• Yuan Du Zi decided to join the Revival Society and attempt the ancient gods’ path, and Wei He said he had prepared it for her.

Wei He received Barron's invitation to explore the Life Garden, then crossed a black hole in the eighth layer and reached the universe's final source layer, the Void. After speaking briefly with Lin Shi, he found himself back in the seventh layer's Evil Layer with the black hole gone.

• Yuan Du Zi, Li Rong, and Song Chaochao chose to join Wei He's Revival Society, and Resala began sharing a secret about the Dragon Machine Project and the Life Garden.
• Barron told Shadow Dragon Wei He that the Life Garden held a secret to breaking through the Life Process and invited the Revival Society to cooperate in exploring it.
• Wei He accepted the message and continued exploring the eighth layer, where he discovered a black hole and flew into it.
• Wei He emerged in a starry expanse filled with floating stone heads and saw a golden light, an arched gate, and three mysterious figures that he could not approach.
• Lin Shi told Wei He that he was in the universe's final source layer, the Void, then sang before falling silent.
• The Void darkened, and Wei He awoke in the seventh layer's Evil Layer as the black hole disappeared.

Wei He completed the fusion of one hundred million Life Star Cores and began a breakthrough using the Boundary-Breaking Pearl. The Pearl bestowed the divine position imprint of Star Emperor Xi Xiang, leaving Wei He with immense new power and a warning of the dangers that had destroyed its former bearer.

• Wei He investigated the distorted rule lines and found no records of the Three Great Masters ever acting directly, suspecting they could not move.
• Over the next half year, Wei He fused with life planets across his jurisdiction until he had nearly reached one hundred million Life Star Cores.
• Wei He gathered Yue Sai, Yuan Du Zi, Li Rong, and the Revival Society's other higher-ups to witness his summoning.
• Wei He fused with the final Star Core and used the Boundary-Breaking Pearl to simulate a suitable breakthrough catalyst.
• The Pearl gave Wei He the divine position imprint of Star Emperor Xi Xiang, whose memories revealed that destroying too many stars had caused universes to collapse and eventually led to his death.
• Wei He awoke from the ascension with the power to reach across tens of thousands of light-years, while realizing his physical body remained at its former scale.

Wei He became the Lord of All Stars Heavenly Emperor and began conferring Star Lord titles to build a system that would increase his power. The Revival Society rapidly expanded across Jiudu and into rival territories, while Knosus learned that the Star Emperor Xi Xiang had once destroyed the home universes of Mother of Earth Ying and Wood God Ohara.

• Wei He merged with the divine throne, received the Star Emperor Xi Xiang's cosmic origin, and realized his authority to confer godhood was the foundation of his power.
• The Revival Society's members hailed Wei He as Heavenly Emperor, and he began evaluating Black Flame-level members for titles under Divine Court law.
• The Jiudu Human Alliance offered its allegiance, and more than ninety percent of Jiudu's life-bearing planets entered the Revival Society's system within half a month.
• The Revival Society advanced into Knosus and Eastern Extreme Alliance territory, prompting repeated clashes and disputes.
• At Knosus's Fate Star Mothership, Mother of Earth Ying and Wood God Ohara revealed that the Star Emperor Xi Xiang had destroyed their home universes by consuming planets and collapsing their dimensions.
• Noxi and the true spirits feared Xi Xiang's arrival, and Ying warned that although it could not destroy the great universe, it could destroy them.

Kashulia witnessed the turmoil caused by the wars and spoke with Wei He, who explained that the Revival Society sought to revive humanity and invited her to join. Meanwhile, Wei He prepared to expand the Divine Court’s power, setting his sights on Knosus and the Star Abyss.

• Kashulia saw refugees fleeing war-torn star systems and watched a Three-legged Golden Crow pass her ship.
• Wei He contacted Kashulia, revealed that the Golden Crow was his true body, and asked what she thought of the four great river systems.
• Wei He told Kashulia that the Revival Society aimed to revive humanity, explained humanity’s bond with the gods, and gave her an address.
• Wei He reflected that Kashulia was a candidate for contacting the Life Garden and decided to make a probe rather than wait for her to return on her own.
• Wei He separated Star Emperor Xi Xiang from the Solar Star Lord and resolved to occupy Knosus and the Star Abyss.

The Revival Society invaded Knosus with vast armies, and Noxi responded by sacrificing his empire and the True Spirits to the Mother River. As the Heavenly Emperor began gathering every stellar core in the Shengyun River System, the True Spirits realized that the Evening Elephant was repeating the destruction of their former universe.

• Hundreds of thousands of Three-legged Golden Crows destroyed the Knosus border fleet, while Pengsha, Jiudu, and the Revival Society's armies poured into Knosus.
• Noxi and the True Spirits confronted the Revival Society's advance, and Noxi decided to activate a hidden measure rather than seek peace.
• Noxi activated a soul-sacrificing formation that dissolved Knosus's fleets, bioforms, generals, and True Spirits into green light.
• Noxi revealed that his true body was the Eternal Soul Crown, while the crown absorbed the sacrificial energy.
• The Heavenly Emperor appeared outside the Shengyun River System and began drawing the stellar cores from its countless stars toward himself.

As Wei He overwhelmed Knosus, Noxi sacrificed everything to summon a powerful High True Spirit from the Mother River. The mysterious swordsman emerged through Noxi’s destruction, leaving Wei He and the watching forces facing a new threat.

• The Eastern Extreme Alliance elders split over whether to submit to the Revival Society’s ancient god, while fleets mobilized and the Revival Society launched a coup.
• Wei He absorbed star cores and grew more solid as he crushed the remaining resistance in Knosus.
• Noxi sacrificed his True Spirits and summoned the Mother River’s High True Spirits, but none answered until he plunged farther upstream and called without conditions.
• Noxi encountered the shadow whose voice had once guided him, blamed it for his emptiness, and was struck down as the shadow merged with him.
• A black-haired swordsman emerged from Noxi’s darkness, and Ohara grabbed the nearly destroyed Ying and fled.

Wei He defeated Extreme Transmission Sword Emperor Lin Zhen by combining the strength of the stars and living beings, then realized his next step was to complete the cycle between spiritual energy and matter. He turned his divine authority toward erasing the Mother River’s influence and every trace of the Perfection Society.

• Wei He shattered Lin Zhen’s enormous body, but Lin Zhen reappeared and attacked him with the strength of fused stellar cores.
• Lin Zhen identified Wei He as Xi Xiang and invoked his father’s power to unleash the Jagged Sword, the Heartless Sea, the Law-Patrolling Light.
• Wei He gathered the power of his sub-bodies and countless psychics into Myriad Xi Xiang, All Things Return to One, breaking Lin Zhen’s sword and destroying his remaining spiritual energy.
• Wei He understood that he needed to discover how spiritual energy transformed into matter to complete his divine authority’s cycle.
• Wei He declared that all things connected to the Mother River and every trace of the Perfection Society should be eliminated.
