Chapter Summaries

Su Hao and Ashan returned to Moling City and launched an assault on the Immortal Sect cultivators occupying their territory. Su Hao easily killed the guild headquarters’ three Body Integration Cultivators, while Ashan joined the wider slaughter.

• Ashan explained how Moling City and the Star Commerce Guild had changed over the past decade.
• Su Hao transformed into a Life Child and ordered Ashan to attack the eastern factory district while he cleared the southern district.
• Ashan teleported to the guild headquarters and found Su Hao already killing its cultivators with Flying Swords.
• Su Hao killed the three Body Integration Cultivators one by one, recording their Consciousness Information before destroying their heads.
• The final cultivator realized the Crystal Thief he had previously fought was a fake just before Su Hao appeared in front of him.

Su Hao and Ashan cleared the cultivators from the factories, then went to Primordial Tri-Unity Peak and destroyed it with a powerful bomb. After killing the survivors, they set off to attack the other Immortal Sects, with Ashan preparing to try making the next bomb himself.

• Su Hao and Ashan cleared the cultivators from the factory district and decided to target the Immortal Sects behind the plundering.
• Ashan teleported Su Hao to Primordial Tri-Unity Peak, where Su Hao formed a powerful bomb and projected it into the sect.
• Su Hao detonated the bomb, destroying Primordial Tri-Unity Peak and its Mountain-Protecting Mist Array.
• Su Hao and Ashan killed the surviving cultivators among the ruins, while Ashan reflected on how fragile life was.
• Su Hao and Ashan headed for the next Immortal Sect, and Su Hao told Ashan he could try using the bomb design there.

Ashan learned to make and deploy spiritual energy bombs, joining Su Hao in destroying all thirteen Immortal Sect headquarters involved in the matter. As the surviving Body Integration Cultivators gathered at Tri-Unity Peak to investigate, another golden bomb appeared among them.

• Ashan completed a huge spiritual energy bomb and detonated it at the Six-Element Metal Transformation Sect's headquarters, reducing it to a crater.
• Su Hao warned Ashan not to mistake borrowed spiritual energy for lasting power, and Ashan redirected his admiration toward Su Hao's knowledge.
• Su Hao and Ashan destroyed all thirteen implicated Immortal Sect headquarters in two days, while distant cultivators remained unaware of the attacks.
• Two Primordial Tri-Unity Peak Elders and more than a dozen Body Integration Cultivators arrived at Tri-Unity Peak and found its headquarters destroyed.
• A Six-Element Metal Transformation Sect cultivator reported that his sect had suffered the same fate, and the gathered cultivators suspected the Crystal Thief.
• A golden sphere suddenly appeared among the Body Integration Cultivators as they prepared to leave.

Su Hao destroyed Primordial Tri-Unity Peak’s stronghold and recruited the Immortal Lord to study at the Academy. Back in his Laboratory, he reviewed his discoveries about consciousness and planned to test Reincarnation Lock on Ashan in the next world.

• Su Hao and Ashan confirmed that the blast had wiped out the cultivators gathered at Primordial Tri-Unity Peak, then prepared to restore the Star Commerce Guild.
• The Immortal Lord and Lin Mei arrived, and Su Hao explained that he and Ashan had destroyed the mountain gate and killed several Elders.
• Su Hao argued that Moling City’s changes marked the beginning of a flourishing age for the Human Race, and the Immortal Lord agreed to work for him and study at the Academy with Lin Mei.
• Su Hao returned to his Laboratory and reviewed his research on Reincarnation Resurrection, Reincarnation Lock, and Consciousness Information Decoding.
• Su Hao decided to use Ashan as a test subject for Reincarnation Lock in the next world.

After the Star Commerce Guild destroyed more than a dozen Immortal Sects that attacked its factories, cultivators feared the Guild but copied its innovations rather than oppose it. Ten years later, General President Feng Xianglong confronted Xiao Lan over a failed expansion plan and learned that Feng Tang and Yue Ying were advancing a continent-wide information network.

• Cultivators discovered that the sects destroyed in enormous water-filled pits had attacked Star Commerce Guild factories, then chose to imitate the Guild instead of risking the same fate.
• Ten years later, Xiao Lan told Feng Xianglong that Yin-Yang Reflection Heart Pool had torn up its agreement, destroyed construction, and caused the loss of more than two hundred Guild staff members.
• Feng Xianglong ordered Xiao Lan to stop negotiating and warned that he would replace her unless she made progress within three months.
• Feng Xianglong learned that Yue Ying had directed the Star Research Team to pursue roads and signal base stations, and that it had developed a stable Personal Spiritual Energy Computer with Feng Tang's help.
• Feng Xianglong accepted that Feng Tang's interventions might force them to start over, while his secretary reminded him that Golden Core Realm cultivators were now common among Academy graduates.

Ashan delivered the first-generation Spiritual Energy Computer to Feng Xianglong and tried to introduce him and Xiao Mei to Minesweeper and Super Mario, but neither understood the games. Meanwhile, the Immortal Lord visited Moling City, saw how research and technology had transformed the mortal world, and came to understand the meaning of “Mortals and cultivators as one.”

• Ashan brought Feng Xianglong a Spiritual Energy Computer and showed him and Xiao Mei how to use it.
• Feng Xianglong and Xiao Mei failed to understand Ashan’s enthusiasm for Minesweeper and Super Mario, so Ashan left them to try the games themselves.
• The Immortal Lord used the Teleportation Array to travel from Starry Sky Island to Moling Main City and was astonished by its transformation.
• As the Immortal Lord explored the city, he recognized the significance of his research and understood Daoist Jia Wei’s idea of “Mortals and cultivators as one.”
• A sightseeing bus carrying visitors approached Moling City, whose imposing skyline left its passengers speechless as a recording began recounting the city’s history.

Su Hao oversaw Moling City’s modernization and developed a theory that breaking beyond the Nascent Soul Realm required another transformation of consciousness. He identified the basis of consciousness as the key question and planned to investigate two paths to strengthen it.

• Four Golden Core Realm Rogue Cultivators marveled at Moling City and considered joining a construction team after seeing its recruitment advertisement.
• Two visiting cultivators worried about running out of money but debated spending their remaining Starry Sky Yuan at the Warbler Club.
• A boy left for school hoping to join a Research Team, while his mother hoped he would become a factory worker like his father.
• A tourist who littered was fined and escorted to a holding cell after arguing with an officer.
• Su Hao helped develop the Spiritual Energy Computer, completing it in a year and establishing the foundation of an information exchange platform.
• Su Hao concluded that further cultivation breakthroughs required transforming consciousness and began planning research into strengthening the brain and adding new functions.

While Su Hao continued his research in seclusion, Ashan defended the Star Group against the Demon-Slaying Alliance by using Teleportation to unleash Two-Thousand Blast Bombs on its invading army. The alliance was almost entirely destroyed, and the Star Group’s witnesses were left terrified by Ashan and the power associated with Feng Wei.

• Su Hao remained isolated in his Laboratory as the Research Team accelerated technological development, while Ashan enforced the Star Group’s expansion against resistance.
• Over a thousand Immortal Sects formed the Demon-Slaying Alliance and marched more than a hundred thousand Cultivators toward Moling City, destroying Star Group infrastructure along the way.
• Ashan prepared two hundred Two-Thousand Blast Bombs and waited with the Star Group’s leaders along the alliance’s route, confident he could handle the invasion without disturbing Su Hao.
• Using his enhanced Perception and Space Delivery, Ashan repeatedly teleported Bombs into the densest enemy formations, triggering enormous Explosions that shattered the alliance.
• Ashan continued bombing the retreating survivors until he had used every Bomb; only a few thousand of the more than one hundred thousand Cultivators escaped.
• The Star Group’s people surveyed the devastated battlefield and feared Ashan, then recalled Feng Wei, the mysterious Immortal Progenitor who stood behind him.

After Star Group established a widespread network, Su Hao helped Ashan’s satellite research team and gained an insight into advancing Consciousness Power: spirit power could store information. He began developing a method to transfer consciousness into such a storage system, but recognized that it would not yet let consciousness survive the body’s death.

• After witnessing the Demon-Slaying Alliance’s defeat, Star Group members trusted Ashan completely and followed his direction without complaint.
• Over ten years, Star Group expanded industrialization and education across the thirty-nine Mortal Provinces and built the Global Connect network to share knowledge.
• Su Hao joined Ashan’s satellite research team and solved its satellite temperature problem by designing an automatically adjusting louver system.
• While helping Ashan design a Spiritual Energy Hard Drive, Su Hao realized that spirit power could carry information and proposed storing Consciousness Information in a spirit power device.
• Su Hao recorded his new research direction and concluded that even a successful consciousness storage system would not prevent death once the physical body decayed.

Twenty years after the world’s rapid modernization, Su Hao completed a working Knowledge Platform that could store and restore memories, though its capabilities remained limited by his unfinished Consciousness Information Decoding. He planned to focus on decoding consciousness until it reached twenty percent, bringing him closer to transforming Intent into Divine Intent.

• The Thirty-Nine Prefectures became connected by modern transport and communication networks, while Starry Academy’s cultivation system displaced the weakened Immortal Sects.
• Su Hao designed the Knowledge Platform by encoding information in spiritual-energy units and connecting its storage blocks to the brain.
• After years of experiments, Su Hao developed a stable way to record experiences in Unit Blocks and restore forgotten memories through the brain’s index.
• Su Hao concluded that the Knowledge Platform still needed a comprehensive Information Conversion Book derived from further Consciousness Information Decoding.
• Su Hao decided to concentrate on decoding consciousness and estimated that twenty percent progress would let the Knowledge Platform operate without obstruction.

Su Hao arranged experiments involving 1,300 newborns and 120 prisoners to help decode Consciousness Information, while reviewing Star Group’s research and spaceflight progress. He began recording the infants’ consciousness as they grew, intending to protect them throughout their lives and use the resulting data to advance his research.

• Su Hao asked Ashan to arrange long-term observation of at least 1,000 newborns and a closed learning experiment with at least 100 prisoners who would be destroyed afterward.
• Ashan reviewed Star Group’s research files with Su Hao and arranged the experiments, sending 120 Experiment Subjects to High Rock Mountain and gathering 1,300 newborns in six hospitals.
• Su Hao Teleported to the Starry Sky Headquarters Building, met Ashan and Feng Xianglong, and visited the hospitals to begin recording the infants’ bodily information and consciousness.
• Su Hao soothed crying infants with gentle Blood Qi as he recorded them, then continued the process across the other hospitals.
• Su Hao planned to observe the infants’ consciousness as it developed and have Little Light erase their recorded information after their natural lifespans ended.

Su Hao completed decades of research on Consciousness Information and developed a method for Nascent Soul Cultivators to advance beyond their current limits. He asked Ashan to become the first test subject for the Knowledge Platform Bridging Consciousness Method.

• Su Hao told Ashan to focus research on three core technologies: spirit power conversion, interstellar positioning and Teleportation, and the properties of spirit power in different materials.
• A month later, Su Hao began Consciousness Information experiments with 120 subjects, some of whom suffered fatal mental breakdowns under the pressure.
• After more than sixty years of research, Su Hao decoded thirty percent of Consciousness Information and completed a program linking the Knowledge Platform to the brain.
• Su Hao spent a year exploring the transformed world before asking Ashan to meet him at Starry Sky Harbor for an experiment.
• Su Hao explained that his new method could help Nascent Soul Cultivators advance and gave Ashan the Knowledge Platform Bridging Consciousness Method to study.
• Ashan reacted with astonishment and excitement when Su Hao named him the first experimental case.

Su Hao developed methods that let Ashan build a Knowledge Platform and break through in Spirit Sense, transforming his consciousness. After observing the platform’s abilities and its potential to repair cultivation damage, Su Hao named the new realm the Spirit Transformation Realm.

• Ashan struggled to separate the three spirit power types needed to build a Knowledge Platform, so Su Hao sought a simpler method.
• A year later, Su Hao created Triangle Printing, which Ashan used to manufacture Storage Units and assemble his Knowledge Platform.
• Ashan loaded an Information Conversion Program, connected the platform’s Pins to his brain, and experienced an extraordinary expansion of his Spirit Sense.
• Over the next year, Su Hao observed that the platform improved memory, multitasking, micro-precision observation, and control, with potential to help repair cultivation damage.
• Su Hao concluded that Ashan had entered a new realm and named it the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Su Hao completed his breakthrough to Spirit Transformation by connecting a spiritual-power Knowledge Platform to his brain, then developed supporting Art Methods and published the new cultivation path. The Immortal Lord read the Spirit Transformation Record and concluded that its creator was “not human.”

• Su Hao connected the Knowledge Platform to his brain and broke through to Spirit Transformation, expanding his Perception to nearly 180,000 meters.
• Su Hao explained his findings to Ashan and said he would refine the breakthrough method before releasing it.
• Two years later, Su Hao created supporting Art Methods and sent Ashan a guide to Spirit Transformation, asking him to replace the Integrated Body Realm with the new path.
• Ashan published the Spirit Transformation Record at a worldwide conference, provoking awe and disbelief among cultivators.
• The Immortal Lord read the record and its breakthrough techniques, then told Lin Mei that the method's creator was “not human.”

Ashan defended releasing the Spirit Transformation Record, while Su Hao sought to gather cultivation data and study the world’s accumulated technology. The chapter ended when Ashan warned that a massive asteroid was on course to strike Starry Sky Harbor in three years.

• Ashan rejected the Yun, Hua, and Zhang families’ objections to releasing the Spirit Transformation Record and warned Feng Xianglong that the families’ representatives could be retired if they challenged his decisions again.
• Fairy Feng Ling and Feng Yan tried to understand the Spirit Transformation Record aboard Feng Yan’s Doll Spaceship, but its theory baffled them.
• People across the world downloaded the record, and Su Hao hoped qualified cultivators would reach Spirit Transformation and provide him with useful data.
• Su Hao reviewed the technologies gathered in his database when Ashan arrived with news that an asteroid was headed for Starry Sky Harbor.
• Ashan reported that the asteroid was about two hundred kilometers across and expected to hit in three years, with deflection possible but risky.

Su Hao learned that a massive Asteroid had veered toward the Cultivation Star and organized society to deflect it using Teleportation Arrays and Ten Thousand Blasts. The first detonation succeeded, and the planet’s people hailed him as its savior, though the cause of the Asteroid’s changed course remained unknown.

• Ashan explained that the Asteroid had been discovered long ago but had recently changed course toward the planet.
• Su Hao rejected the Astronomy Center’s plan and ordered the civilization to prepare Teleportation Arrays and Ten Thousand Blasts for a coordinated deflection.
• Feng Cheng volunteered to lead the first mission, and a year later his Spaceship reached the Asteroid and established the first Teleportation Array.
• Workers and supplies were transported to the Asteroid, where crews installed protected arrays and buried more than ten thousand Ten Thousand Blasts before withdrawing safely.
• Ashan detonated the first bomb, and the Astronomy Center confirmed that the initial stage had succeeded.
• The people hailed Su Hao as the world’s savior, while no one learned why the Asteroid had changed course.

After Star Group deflected the world-threatening Asteroid, Su Hao decided to turn it into a Spaceship and explore the universe. He left the project to Star Group’s leaders and said he planned to depart the planet to draw danger away from it.

• Su Hao ordered Star Group to keep bombarding the Asteroid until it passed the Cultivation Star, then secretly teleported onto it to inspect its structure.
• Su Hao confirmed the Asteroid could be converted into a Spaceship and embedded a Location Stone before returning to Star Group headquarters.
• Su Hao presented his plan for the Spaceship Soar to Star Group’s senior executives, who supported it and agreed to keep it classified.
• Ashan asked whether Su Hao intended to travel aboard the Asteroid, and Su Hao confirmed he wanted to explore the universe and take danger away from the planet.
• Su Hao asked Ashan about Interstellar Coordinate Location Directional Teleportation Technology, and Ashan reported little progress.

Su Hao spent decades preparing to turn the Asteroid into a spacecraft while studying coordinate teleportation and watching society and technology change. The Immortal Lord died before reaching the realm Beyond Spirit Transmutation, which cultivators eventually developed as the Divine Body Realm, though Su Hao considered it only the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

• Su Hao returned to Starry Sky Harbor, resumed his research, and worried that another celestial disaster might strike before the spacecraft was complete.
• Fifty years passed as ordinary people aged and died while cultivators remained youthful, deepening resentment and social unrest; Su Hao concluded that happiness depended on the balance between desire and ability.
• Ashan told Su Hao that cultivators were researching new spiritual organs, the Immortal Lord had about twenty years left, and Spirit Energy Technology was reaching a bottleneck as electrical technology grew.
• Su Hao let the unrest and technological shifts develop naturally while working with a team on interstellar coordinate teleportation, which faced major challenges involving Negative Space Modules and the vast distances of space.
• Thirty years later, the Immortal Lord died after failing to reach Beyond Spirit Transmutation, leaving the words, "I met Daoist Jia Wei a thousand years too late!"
• A century later, cultivators developed spiritual backup organs and Su Hao named the resulting realm the Divine Body Realm, though he judged it to be only the late stage of Spirit Transformation.

Su Hao and Ashan faced a Giant Asteroid on a collision course with the Cultivation Star and spent decades trying to deflect it. After the Asteroid returned to its original orbit, Su Hao ordered the world to mobilize all available technology and resources for the final twenty years before impact.

• Ashan told Su Hao that a Giant Asteroid had left its orbit and might enter the Cultivation Star's orbit in about one hundred and fifty years, so Su Hao ordered Soar construction accelerated and bombs produced.
• Su Hao and Ashan moved to the Soar, and the Astronomy Center later calculated that the Giant Asteroid would strike Spirit Mountain Vein Province.
• Su Hao teleported to the Giant Asteroid, planted one hundred bombs, and began a decades-long effort to deflect it; after sixty years, the plan appeared to succeed.
• Twenty years later, an inexplicable Gravity pulled the Giant Asteroid back onto its original course, leaving less than twenty years before impact.
• Su Hao ordered the Soar to prioritize Coordinate Locate Teleport, the world to devote most energy and practitioners' Spiritual Power to bomb production, and large Shelters built away from the impact's Deflection.

Su Hao and Ashan committed to saving the Cultivation Star from a giant asteroid due to strike in twenty years, and worked together to teleport the Soar into its path. After five years of preparation, they successfully practiced their cooperative teleportation technique by moving an entire mountain into space.

• Su Hao chose to stay and fight the coming disaster rather than flee the Cultivation Star with Ashan and a few companions.
• Su Hao and Ashan returned to the Cultivation Star, rallied its people through a worldwide broadcast, and assigned tasks for resisting the asteroid.
• Over the next five years, Su Hao developed a cooperative Coordinate Locate Teleport method with Ashan.
• Su Hao and Ashan practiced the method by opening and stabilizing a vast spatial channel around a mountain peak.
• Su Hao and Ashan teleported the mountain into space onto the giant asteroid's future trajectory, and Ashan confirmed he was all right.
