  • Zhi Peng agreed to support Rada’s plan to wipe out the Restoration Society, though he refused to give the Mage Association Transfer Spheres without first asking Jia Wei.
  • The Mage Association launched a five-day operation in a single night, bombarding the Restoration Society with Meteor Shower, Thunder Realm, and other spells until its enemies were wiped out.
  • After Harmony Mage’s death and the Restoration Society’s destruction, Magicians drove Magic Beasts away from cities and into an Uninhabited Mountain Range.
  • Feng Cheng told Su Hao that Rada had taken over as Harmony Mage and that the old leader had likely hoped his connection to Feiyuan would secure the Mage Association’s future.
  • Su Hao asked whether the Astronomy Group had noticed anything unusual about asteroids or meteorites, and Feng Cheng reported that everything appeared normal.

Ch. 630Mastering Everything

After twenty-four years of research, Su Hao successfully used Source to produce Blood Qi and spiritual energy compatible with himself, giving him a new means of securing energy and greater confidence in surviving the Doom System. He celebrated with Ashan, Feng Cheng, and Feiyuan, planning a banquet and a car race.

  • After Zhi Peng left, Su Hao reflected on the desire to surpass others and considered their meeting a final farewell and a complete ending for the Radiance Society he had supported.

Ch. 633Please Continue Your Performance

Su Hao traveled to Key Star to test whether its matter could produce Source and whether he could destroy a planet with an explosion. He confirmed both that Key Star’s matter could be converted into Source and that his blast could only make a huge crater, leaving his planet-destruction goal far out of reach.

  • Su Hao chose to visit Key Star when it would pass within seventy million kilometers of Source Star and teleported near it five days later.

Ch. 636Smoking

Su Hao studied a Virus’s invasion of his body and used what he learned to design a self-replicating Planet Virus capable of converting a planet into energy. After years of failed tests and gradual improvements, he paused his work to consider what Zhi Peng’s death revealed about mental Anomaly Disasters and dimensions.

  • Su Hao suppressed his immune system, observed a Virus infecting his cells, and recognized its replication process as the Source Chain Reaction he needed for his Planet Virus.
  • Su Hao devised a Planet Virus built around Focus and Source Conversion systems, then studied Ashan’s Source Artifact research to design the conversion system.

  • Su Hao recorded a failed Mini Cube sample and left Key Star to study it.

Ch. 638Flowers Look Alike Year After Year, but People Change with Every Passing Year

Su Hao spent decades refining the Planet Virus, adding self-inspection and correction to prevent replication errors, while the people of Huai Shui Town aged and changed. After visiting A Xing’s family and checking the spaceship’s progress, Su Hao tested version 7.5.3 on Key Star, where the virus exploded upon activation.

  • Su Hao traced the Planet Virus’s replication failures to accumulated deviations and designed a self-inspection and adjustment program for its next version.

Ch. 640Burn! Planet

Su Hao tested his Planet Virus on Key Star, turning the planet into a silver mass of Virus Replicants before igniting it to send matter into space. The particle stream stopped after two hours, revealing a flaw in the experiment, and Su Hao returned to the Base Small World to plan improvements as news of Key Star spread across Source Star.

  • Feng Cheng told the Astronomy Center that Key Star's violent transformation was a normal experiment by his boss, leaving the observers stunned and speculating about who the boss was.
  • Su Hao watched the Planet Virus consume Key Star and turn it into a gleaming silver world in less than five hours.
  • Su Hao threw the Igniter into Key Star, triggering a vast Particle stream that erupted from the planet and began dispersing its matter into space.

  • Ashan and Feng Cheng asked Su Hao about the particle ray on Key Star, and Feiyuan joined them.
  • Su Hao explained that the Planet Virus was designed to destroy planets and that the Key Star incident had only been a test of its unfinished functions.

Ch. 642A Little Awkward

After years of preparing for a possible planetary disaster, Su Hao helped launch the spacecraft Beginning on its first test flight. The craft barely moved under its conventional engines, so Su Hao proposed using Source from Red Ice Star’s ring as propulsion.

  • Su Hao learned that space showed no abnormalities and reflected that his Star-Shattering Mini Cube might not be needed for a planetary impact.
  • Ashan reported that the spacecraft’s basic components were assembled, and Su Hao agreed to test-fly it; they named it Beginning.
  • Su Hao Teleported Beginning billions of kilometers from Source Star and had Ashan start the test flight.
