Humanity destroyed the Eight-Armed Tribe fleets that had reached the Blue Light Galaxy, prompting the enemy to prepare its Star-Annihilating Cannon and summon reinforcements. Su Hao paused his research and went to Blue Light to help Ashan deal with the threat.

• The Third Fleet ignored headquarters' order to wait and advanced toward Blue Light, where it was wiped out.
• The Fourth Fleet waited outside the galaxy as human commanders chose a plan to lure the Eight-Armed Tribe into a coordinated trap.
• Humanity used the Teleportation Array to position warships near the fleets outside the galaxy and detonated the prepared Energy Burst Waves, destroying them all.
• The Eight-Armed Tribe headquarters analyzed the final footage, realized its fleets had been destroyed, and ordered Star-Annihilating Cannon attacks, fleet reinforcements, and a higher threat rating for humanity.
• Feng Cheng learned that the Eight-Armed Tribe had activated the Star-Annihilating Cannon, while Su Hao finished his particle experiments and decided to help Ashan clear away the threat.

Su Hao intercepted an Eight-Armed Tribe Star-Annihilating Cannon with his custom Collapse Cannon and assigned Ashan and Feng Cheng to destroy nearby Colony Planets. Xia Qingjun prepared to announce humanity’s victory and celebrate Su Hao, Jia Ashan, and Jia Feng Cheng as its greatest people.

• Su Hao arrived at the command center and learned that an Eight-Armed Tribe Mothership had fired a Star-Annihilating Cannon toward Blue Light.
• Su Hao used Little Light to calculate the cannon’s trajectory and fired a Collapse Cannon that destroyed it in space.
• Su Hao told Xia Qingjun that he would develop a way to attack the Eight-Armed Tribe’s Motherships and assigned Ashan and Feng Cheng to clear Colony Planets within eight hundred light-years.
• Su Hao warned Ashan and Feng Cheng to collect Source Pearls carefully and prevent any from falling into the Eight-Armed Tribe’s hands.
• Xia Qingjun ordered humanity’s battle results announced and the achievements of Xu Shiqiang, Jia Ashan, and Jia Feng Cheng celebrated.

Humanity learned of Su Hao’s astonishing achievements as the Eight-Armed Tribe failed twice to hit Blue Light with its Star-Annihilating Cannon. Su Hao developed and tested a system-wide attack called Starlight Break, then returned to the Small World, where the Captain hurried in with news.

• Xia Qingjun publicized Su Hao’s accomplishments, leaving humanity amazed and making Xu Shiqiang’s name nearly sacred.
• The Eight-Armed Tribe fired its Star-Annihilating Cannon twice, and both shots exploded after being intercepted.
• Su Hao planned a long-range attack using a stable Energy Bullet equipped with Starlight Journey and Energy Burst Wave.
• After repeated experiments, Su Hao created a golden energy shuttle that warped across a star system and detonated Energy Blocks with its wave.
• Su Hao named the successful attack Starlight Break and returned to the Small World, where the Captain rushed in to see him.

Su Hao used his newly developed Starlight Break to destroy the Eight-Armed Tribe fleets surrounding Blue Light, while human forces attacked the Tribe’s colony planets. After the fleets were annihilated, Su Hao returned to the command room and said the attack’s results were pretty good.

• Su Hao learned that twenty-one Eight-Armed Tribe fleets had assembled around Blue Light and prepared their Star-Annihilating Cannons.
• Su Hao calculated the fleets’ positions and launched a Starlight Break, destroying the Eighth Fleet and then the Fifth Fleet.
• Xia Qingjun and the human commanders realized Su Hao had destroyed the fleets from across half a galaxy.
• The Eight-Armed Tribe fleets panicked as warships exploded, but they could not escape Su Hao’s attack range.
• The Eight-Armed Tribe Commander learned that at least thirty colony planets had been destroyed and blamed the failure on the threat-level assessment organization.
• Su Hao returned to the command room, named his new Superpower Starlight Break, and said its first combat results were pretty good.

After humanity defeated the Eight-Armed Tribe invasion, Su Hao and his allies developed an Insecticide Mini Cube that could eradicate the tribe while preserving colony planets. Su Hao sent the technology to Xia Qingjun for mass production and ordered humanity to expand its teleportation network, while the search for the Compound Eye Clan’s homeworld continued.

• The Compound Eye Clan praised humanity’s strength and accused it of withholding technology, while Xia Qingjun’s group discussed hiding their teleportation technology and locating the Clan’s Main Star.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng reported that they had destroyed 223 Eight-Armed Tribe colony planets within eight hundred light-years using Star-Shattering Mini Cubes.
• Su Hao proposed using a Gene Virus and Mini Cubes to eliminate the Eight-Armed Tribe without damaging its planets, and Feng Cheng reflected on the difference between regret and finding solutions.
• Feng Cheng reported that he had ruled out 600 of more than a thousand suspected Compound Eye Clan planets, and Su Hao told him not to alert the Clan once he found its location.
• Su Hao developed an Insecticide Mini Cube, and Feng Cheng confirmed it killed every Eight-Armed Tribe member on a colony planet within a day.
• Su Hao gave Xia Qingjun the simplified Mini Cube manufacturing process for mass production and ordered humanity to build more Teleportation Arrays for rapid evacuation.

Humanity repelled the Eight-Armed Tribe’s invasion of Blue Light, prompting the Compound Eye Clan to seek protection. Su Hao arranged for humanity to help them while advancing his research into Entangled Matter and its potential to create countless avatars.

• The Eight-Armed Tribe sent over a hundred million warships to attack Blue Light, but humanity’s Energy Burst Waves destroyed most of the fleet and its remaining forces eventually withdrew.
• The Eight-Armed Tribe planned to capture the Compound Eye Clan, which then contacted humanity and begged for protection.
• Su Hao told Feng Cheng to have Xia Qingjun accept the Compound Eye Clan’s request and arrange for Teleportation Arrays on their home planet.
• Su Hao used the Insect God’s modified Genes to produce large quantities of Entangled Matter, while Ashan continued studying the Queen’s nervous system.
• Su Hao examined two synchronized masses of Entangled Matter and considered using them to create Entangled Nerves and eventually countless avatars.

After ten years of research, Ashan developed a way to stack neural modules onto a human brain, and Su Hao approved the plan. Su Hao helped Ashan begin an experiment using Neural Tissue from the Queen, while setting the longer-term goal of replacing neural structures with Spirit Power to pursue Longevity.

• Ashan rushed into Su Hao's laboratory and announced that he had found a way to endlessly stack neural modules onto a single brain.
• Ashan explained that experiments on Eight-Armed Tribe and human subjects showed that stacked brains greatly increased intelligence, and Su Hao praised his research and named him a Senior Researcher.
• Su Hao reviewed Ashan's method of wrapping a human brain in a Spirit Transformation Cultivator's Knowledge Platform and attaching Neural Modules taken from the Queen.
• Su Hao asked Ashan to investigate whether Spirit Power could replace the Queen's Neural Modules, and Ashan agreed.
• Su Hao decided to help Ashan use the Queen's Neural Tissue to build his brain and test the results.

Su Hao connected Neural Tissue to Ashan’s Brain Core, creating an External Brain that greatly expanded Ashan’s mental abilities. Ashan also learned to use the Second-Level Space, and Su Hao decided to have him help assemble his own External Brain.

• Su Hao decided to reduce his dependence on Marble Space after considering how the Eight-Armed Tribe had collapsed without Energy Blocks.
• Su Hao entered the Second-Level Space and attached one thousand Neural Modules to Ashan’s Brain Core, then installed a Spiritual Tissue Life Support Device and replaced his skull.
• Ashan connected to the Neural Tissue and experienced a mental schism, with many Lesser Selves thinking through different problems while remaining part of his single consciousness.
• Ashan said his thinking capacity had increased and that he could now grasp how to use the Second-Level Space.
• Su Hao observed that Ashan’s Consciousness Information had doubled in activity and was expanding, named the Neural Tissue an External Brain, and agreed to let Ashan help assemble his own.

With Ashan’s help, Su Hao connected a thousand-module External Brain and discovered that it greatly sharpened his self-awareness and enabled parallel thought. He used Lesser Selves and spatial channels to extend his perception across the planet, then recognized that his expanded thinking could unlock new uses for much of his accumulated knowledge; he decided to adapt before adding more External Brains and have Ashan test the procedure first.

• Su Hao installed an External Brain made of one thousand Neural Modules and activated the Knowledge Platform.
• Su Hao experienced clearer self-awareness and learned to process many focused thoughts in parallel through what he called split personalities.
• Su Hao combined Lesser Selves with spatial channels to extend his Divine Intent perception to eighty million meters and survey the entire planet.
• Su Hao explored how his improved thinking could advance his work in programming, genetics, space abilities, cultivation, Source conversion, and Warp Navigation.
• Su Hao decided to adapt to the External Brain before stacking more modules and planned to have Ashan test the connection first.

Su Hao and Ashan used Spiritual Power cultivation to develop their External Brains, then connected increasingly large sets of Neural Modules. After combining three cultivation methods into Starlight Guide, they expanded their abilities again, leaving Su Hao confident he could eventually create the Neural Modules he needed himself.

• Su Hao and Ashan discovered that Spiritual Power cultivation effectively developed their External Brains and increased their Spiritual Power.
• A year later, Ashan connected two External Brain blocks, and Su Hao followed after confirming Ashan had adapted safely.
• Su Hao and Ashan combined three Mental Cultivation methods into Starlight Guide and trained with it for another year.
• Ashan connected seven External Brain blocks despite the risks, and the successful upgrade reassured Su Hao.
• Su Hao concluded that he could use Source to create Neural Modules in future worlds and imagined becoming a Creator.

Su Hao and Ashan discovered that stacking too many External Brains caused Ashan’s consciousness to drift into a fantasy world, so they stopped adding brains and returned to the Research Base. Ashan upgraded Feng Cheng with External Brains, enabling him to master advanced space abilities and receive an independent research assignment, while Su Hao began studying how to remove adapted External Brains.

• After Ashan’s thoughts became dazed and detached from reality, Su Hao removed his newest External Brain, restoring his consciousness to a stable whole.
• Su Hao concluded that excessive Neural Tissue could overwhelm consciousness, and he and Ashan stopped stacking External Brains.
• At the Research Base, Ashan showed Feng Cheng his new scholarly title and advanced space abilities, then explained that his improvements came from External Brains.
• Ashan installed Feng Cheng’s first batch of External Brains, and Feng Cheng quickly mastered advanced space abilities.
• Ashan assigned Feng Cheng research on modifying insect eggs to hatch an Insect God, while Su Hao’s notes revealed that External Brains could be removed.

Su Hao studied how External Brains affected Consciousness Information, then developed a mechanism to guide his future Rebirths into suitable intelligent humanoid beings. The chapter left him ready to test it on other alien races.

• Su Hao experimented on Prisoners and discovered that removing their External Brains condensed their preserved Consciousness Information without reducing its amount, though it would eventually wither without a brain.
• Su Hao matched the Prisoners' Consciousness Information into Eight-Armed Tribe bodies, turning some into Tentacle Monsters and others into Queens, and confirmed that the matching succeeded.
• Su Hao asked the Captain for intelligent beings from other races to use in experiments, and the Captain agreed to provide about five each from several groups.
• Ten years later, Su Hao developed an Automatic Consciousness Information Recognition and Matching Mechanism that could assess a potential host and adapt his consciousness to it.
• Su Hao prioritized Rebirth into humanoid creatures because he feared a nonhuman body might alter his consciousness and cognition.

Humanity and the Eight-Armed Tribe continued their struggle for dominance while the Compound Eye Clan considered secretly arming its rivals. After completing a research mechanism, Su Hao assigned Ashan and Feng Cheng new projects and planned to study the Compound Eye Clan himself.

• Humanity’s population policies led to widespread births, while the Eight-Armed Tribe concluded that humanity could not yet be defeated and the Compound Eye Clan considered sharing human technology with the Eight-Armed Tribe.
• Su Hao’s parents and younger sister, Xu Ruyun, died, and Xu Ruyun entrusted her daughter, Hua Yonghua, to his care.
• Yonghua became a leading energy-weapon researcher and, after Ashan was absent, asked Feng Cheng for help with a Star-Annihilating Cannon problem; Feng Cheng solved it and impressed her.
• Su Hao emerged from seclusion, and Feng Cheng told him and Ashan that he had become a Junior Researcher.
• Su Hao planned to study the Compound Eye Clan’s home planet, tasked Ashan with developing a spirit-power External Brain, and told Feng Cheng to study and research insect eggs toward creating a Divine Egg.

Su Hao visited the Compound Eye Clan’s home planet to investigate how the Mushroom People gathered information across vast distances. Unable to find the secret in an animal’s tail bud, he abducted ninety villagers and began intimidating them to learn more.

• Su Hao hid in Second-Level Space and observed the blue, mushroom-headed Compound Eye Clan, whose members appeared clumsy and cheerful.
• He examined a Long-Tailed Blue-Skin Dolphin and found that its tail bud contained no eye-like structure, so he suspected the Compound Eye Clan’s tail buds held the secret.
• Feng Cheng sent Su Hao a file describing the Compound Eye Clan’s traits and humanity’s limited knowledge of their tail-bud organs.
• Su Hao teleported ninety Compound Eye Clan members from a small village into the Second-Level World, where they panicked after finding themselves displaced and unclothed.
• Su Hao transformed into a Tyrannosaurus Monster, roared at the villagers, and used Body Bind to immobilize them.
• Su Hao lifted one terrified Mushroom Person to examine it, and it screamed and wet itself.

Su Hao studied the Compound Eye Clan but found no physical explanation for their ability to observe distant events, so he began learning their language and infiltrating their society. Meanwhile, the Clan blamed humanity for the disappearances and prepared to demand the return of their people.

• Su Hao dissected members of the Compound Eye Clan and found no special eyes or evolutionary traits that explained their ability to see across the stars.
• Su Hao abducted twenty more Mushroom Men from a metropolis and concluded that studying their bodies alone would not reveal the secret.
• Su Hao transformed into a tiny Mushroom Man, entered a town, and began learning the Clan’s language and writing from Feng Cheng’s materials.
• The Compound Eye Clan retrieved surveillance footage showing Su Hao teleporting away members and concluded that humans were responsible for the disappearances.
• The district hall chief decided to unite with the other hall chiefs and demand that humanity return the 110 missing Mushroom Men and stay away from their home planet.

After the Compound Eye Clan accused humanity of abducting and experimenting on its people, Xia Qingjun and Gong Liang traced the incident to Su Hao’s research. Feng Cheng confirmed Su Hao had visited their planet and urged Gong Liang not to worry, leaving him ready to support the research by force if needed.

• Xia Qingjun showed Gong Liang the Compound Eye Clan’s accusation and video, and Gong Liang recalled sending Su Hao information and Compound Eye Clan members for research.
• Xia Qingjun and Gong Liang decided to ask Su Hao for his view so they could respond to the Compound Eye Clan.
• Gong Liang found Feng Cheng in the Small World and explained the accusation after failing to find Su Hao.
• Feng Cheng confirmed Su Hao had visited the Compound Eye Clan’s planet and said the clan should not be taken too seriously.
• Feng Cheng told Gong Liang to occupy the Compound Eye Clan’s planet if they refused to cooperate, and Gong Liang agreed that the plan was excellent.

The Captain and Xia Qingjun accepted Feng Cheng's proposal to seize the Compound Eye Clan's home planet, while Su Hao approved the plan and kept the abducted Compound Eye Clan members confined. After the Compound Eye Clan tried to gather human technology as leverage, humanity declared war and sent its fleet to their planet.

• The Captain told Xia Qingjun that Da Qiang had caused the Compound Eye Clan members' disappearance and relayed Feng Cheng's proposal to take control of their home planet.
• Su Hao explained that he had imprisoned the missing Compound Eye Clan members, and Feng Cheng said he had already urged humanity to seize their planet.
• Humanity and the Compound Eye Clan traded accusations over the disappearances, while the Compound Eye Clan's Hall Masters decided to record human technologies as leverage.
• Humanity planted false technologies for the Compound Eye Clan to copy, and the Compound Eye Clan threatened to send them to the Eight-Armed Tribe's home planet, Houyan.
• Xia Qingjun and humanity's leaders declared war, and a vast human fleet arrived at the Compound Eye Clan's home planet.

The Compound Eye Clan surrendered to humanity after its weapons and defenses were disabled, and Xia Qingjun’s officials discussed the victory and the materials collected from their planet. Su Hao then visited the hidden Star Observation Earth God Hall, where he discovered that its blue Crystals formed a vast interconnected network throughout the planet’s crust.

• The Compound Eye Clan tried to resist with disabled weapons, an ineffective Energy Burst Wave, and a defensive counteroffensive, but human warriors overwhelmed them and forced their unconditional surrender after two months.
• Xia Qingjun and the officials celebrated the victory, discussed the Compound Eye Clan’s star-observing abilities, and confirmed that collected materials had been delivered to Jia Feng Cheng for Xu Shiqiang.
• Su Hao, having learned the Compound Eye Clan’s language, entered the underground Star Observation Earth God Hall with two Mushroom Man hallmasters, who explained the clan’s Di Luo Eye and its star-observation priests.
• Su Hao examined the hall’s enormous blue Crystals and used his Divine Intent to discover that they connected throughout the planet’s crust as a single web-like structure.

Su Hao investigated how the Compound Eye Clan used Dream Entry Stones to enter the Star Observation World and began turning their Earth God Hall into a laboratory. After learning to control a Mushroom Man avatar, he approached a Dream Entry Stone to try entering the Star Observation World himself.

• The Middle-aged Mushroom Man connected its Di Luo Eye to a Dream Entry Stone and entered the Star Observation World while the Elderly Mushroom Man described the Clan's dependence on the stones and its history.
• Su Hao examined the Middle-aged Mushroom Man's visual data, concluded that the Di Luo Eye enabled Star Observation, and outlined a plan to study and reproduce the ability.
• Su Hao asked the Chief Hall Master to bring him Star Observation Priests, then declared that Earth God Star would be his.
• Su Hao converted the Earth God Hall into a laboratory and, after half a year studying Compound Eye Clan brain signals, used Control Avatar to take over a Mushroom Man.
• Su Hao adapted to the Mushroom Man's body and approached a Dream Entry Stone, while a mushroom girl warned him that touching it could upset Mr. Jia Wei.

Su Hao used the Di Luo Eye to enter the Star Observation World, where he explored planets as information-based landscapes and discovered that he could not penetrate a star. After returning to Marble Space, he recorded the Blue Crystal network, while Elder Child awoke and found his beloved Mushroom Man with another male.

• Su Hao attached the Di Luo Eye to the Blue Crystal and entered the Star Observation World, discovering that he could travel between planets and observe their surfaces.
• Su Hao explored a Yellow-Brown Planet and found that he could view its terrain but could not affect or edit it.
• Su Hao entered a star’s atmosphere but could not reach its interior, then returned from the Star Observation World.
• Su Hao returned to Marble Space and simulated the Blue Crystal network he had recorded across the Earth God Star.
• Elder Child woke beside the Dream Entry Stone, saw his partner nuzzling and kissing another male Mushroom Man, and shattered into pieces.

Su Hao advised humanity to focus on Dream Entry Stones as the key to entering the Star Observation World, and Xia Qingjun ordered more resources devoted to the research. Su Hao then identified a special sensing substance in the Compound Eye Clan’s Di Luo Eye and planned to use it to give his Eight-Armed Tribe clone access to the Star Observation World.

• Su Hao told the Captain he had entered the Star Observation World using a Dream Entry Stone and explained that the Compound Eye Clan’s Di Luo Eye served as an admission ticket.
• Su Hao urged the Captain to focus research on Dream Entry Stones and use hypothesis-falsification methods to uncover their properties.
• The Captain relayed Su Hao’s advice to Xia Qingjun, who ordered more resources for the project so humanity could observe the Eight-Armed Tribe.
• Su Hao decoded the Di Luo Eye’s neural structure and discovered a special signal-sensing substance in its sensory nerve endings, which he named Seek One.
• Su Hao planned to integrate Seek One into the Eight-Armed Tribe’s nervous system and use Source to create another Dream Entry Stone.

A year later, Su Hao entered the Star Observation World through his own nervous system and mapped its shape, then compared it with the Cloud Ring System. After watching a planet disappear from the Star Observation World when Feng Cheng converted it into Source, Su Hao concluded that he had uncovered the nature of this cosmic phenomenon.

• Su Hao used Seek One integrated into the Eight-Armed God's nervous system to enter the Star Observation World and confirmed it was not unique to the Compound Eye Clan.
• Su Hao explored the Star Observation World, found its boundary, traced its flattened spherical shape, and completed a star map in Marble Space.
• Su Hao compared his star map with the Cloud Ring System and found that its celestial bodies matched the planets in the Star Observation World.
• Su Hao ordered Feng Cheng to destroy planet Gate-Trench-7125 and send its matter toward the Star-Eating Worm Domain.
• Su Hao watched Gate-Trench-7125 vanish from the Star Observation World as it became Source, while nearby planets shifted to fill its place.
• Su Hao concluded that Source could not be seen in the Star Observation World and declared that he understood the phenomenon's nature.

Su Hao concluded that the Star Observation World was a Material Information Network formed by matter’s distortions of spacetime, and he realized he might use it to extend his perception beyond the limits of his own Spiritual Power. Excited by the possibility of scouting and traveling across star systems through the network, he left his research to share the discovery with Ashan and Feng Cheng.

• Su Hao recorded his observations and theorized that the Star Observation World was a network of information created by matter distorting spacetime.
• Su Hao reasoned that connecting his consciousness to the Material Information Network could let him perceive the Cloud Ring System without relying on ever-expanding Spiritual Power.
• Su Hao speculated that the network might enable Flash Step between planets and, if connected to other star systems, allow him to explore farther across the universe.
• Su Hao awoke his main body in the Second-Level World and wandered around, too excited to continue researching.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng congratulated Su Hao, who told them he had made a major discovery through the Compound Eye Clan and Earth God Star.
• Feng Cheng suggested that they celebrate by playing Fight the Landlord.

Su Hao transformed the Second-Level World into a paradise, where he, Ashan, and Feng Cheng feasted and raced. Feng Cheng lost the race and livestreamed a masked singing-and-dancing performance, which unexpectedly made him famous across the human internet.

• Su Hao excavated part of an Eight-Armed Tribe Colony Planet and remodeled the Second-Level World into a scenic home for the three friends.
• Su Hao, Ashan, and Feng Cheng built a house, held a banquet, and then constructed a large racetrack for a car competition.
• Su Hao declared that the last-place racer would have to livestream singing and dancing, and Feng Cheng later asked General Gong Liang to arrange his livestream.
• Feng Cheng wore a frightening mask and gave a dramatic singing-and-dancing performance, leaving General Gong Liang speechless and worrying Xia Qingjun about the Three Human Saints' image.
• After two days of buildup, Feng Cheng became famous across the human internet.

After recovering from his excitement over discovering the Material Information World, Su Hao began studying how to control it, which he renamed the Planet Network. His experiments showed that he needed a Dream Entry Stone ten kilometers in diameter to access the network clearly, and the excavation drew public attention when observers recognized him as Xu Shiqiang.

• Su Hao, Ashan, and Feng Cheng spent several days celebrating, racing cars, livestreaming, and playing cards before Su Hao returned to research.
• Su Hao named the Material Information World the Planet Network and set out to study how Dream Entry Stone connected to it.
• Su Hao tested increasingly large Dream Entry Stone fragments and found that a battleship-sized piece gave him a blurry view of the Planet Network.
• Su Hao excavated a Dream Entry Stone ten kilometers in diameter and finally saw the Planet Network clearly.
• Observers and Mushroom Men witnessed Su Hao hauling the enormous Blue Crystal out of the ground, and footage of the feat spread across the Internet.
• Online viewers identified the mysterious figure as Xu Shiqiang and marveled at his strength.
