Chapter Summaries

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.

After footage of Xu Shiqiang carrying a giant Blue Crystal alarmed human and Compound Eye Clan leaders, Su Hao began testing whether Source-created Blue Crystal could connect him to the Planet Network. He successfully produced a ten-kilometer Blue Crystal without its free energy, and the impact drew probes and cameras to his location.

• The Captain questioned Feng Cheng about the video, and Feng Cheng confirmed it showed Xu Shiqiang and said he was researching the Dream Entry Stone.
• Xia Qingjun told the human leaders that Xu Shiqiang, Jia Ashan, and Jia Feng Cheng might be beyond the combined strength of humanity and its enemies, prompting them to avoid offending the three.
• The Compound Eye Clan watched footage of Xu Shiqiang lifting the Blue Crystal and became more subdued, believing humans were vastly stronger than them.
• Su Hao decided to test whether Blue Crystal made from Source could connect him to the Planet Network, separating the crystal itself from its free energy as possible causes.
• Su Hao transformed Source inside a Small World and assembled a ten-kilometer Blue Crystal without free energy, then set it on the ground with a crash that alerted nearby probes and cameras.

Su Hao forged a Blue Crystal containing Blueons and used it to connect to the Planet Network, then carried it into space to test how distance and spacetime curvature affected the connection. After the signal weakened, he used his spacetime curvature technology to restore access, while Yonghua resolved to train harder after Feng Cheng dismissed her ambitions.

• Su Hao discovered that Blue Crystal alone could not connect to the Planet Network, but a Blue Crystal infused with Blueons let him enter the Star Observation World.
• Su Hao split off a Lesser Self to monitor the Planet Network and carried the enormous Blue Crystal into space to study how its volume and distance affected the network.
• A video of Su Hao creating and carrying the Blue Crystal into space went viral, and Yonghua asked Feng Cheng whether cultivation could make her as powerful as Su Hao.
• Feng Cheng told Yonghua she was still weak and returned to his Laboratory to investigate why the Queen's eggs developed into bizarre things.
• As Su Hao traveled away from Earth God Star, the Planet Network grew blurry, so he formed a spacetime curvature field around the Blue Crystal and successfully restored the connection.

After twenty years of research, Su Hao connected to the Planet Network from space and gained a sweeping view of the Cloud Ring System. Meanwhile, the Eight-Armed Tribe’s Alliance prepared a new weapon and planned a decisive attack on humanity twenty years later.

• Su Hao finished modifying an Eight-Armed God with a Blue Crystal skull and neural connection, then tested it in space by linking to the Planet Network.
• Su Hao used thousands of Lesser Selves to observe planets throughout the Cloud Ring System, including human worlds, Houyan, and planets being consumed by Star-Eating Worms.
• Su Hao returned to the Experimental Small World and began researching whether the Planet Network could enable Teleportation.
• The Eight-Armed Tribe’s Alliance announced that it had developed Kinetic Energy Weapons and devices to neutralize humanity’s weapons.
• The Houyan King ordered the planetary Alliances to prepare for twenty years before launching a surprise attack intended to destroy humanity.

Humanity had expanded its territory and developed new technologies while monitoring the Eight-Armed Tribe, though Xia Qingjun worried that its growing confidence could lead to a costly mistake. While wandering across strange planets in search of inspiration, Su Hao found a way to use planetary characteristics to locate distant space through the Planet Network, giving him a promising direction for Planet Network Positioning Teleport.

• Humanity developed stronger weapons, defensive measures, teleportation arrays, and reconnaissance technology, but its territory remained small compared with the Cloud Ring System.
• Human Observers reported the Eight-Armed Tribe’s research bases and military production facilities to Xia Qingjun, who worried that humanity might grow complacent and miss a hidden threat.
• Su Hao traveled across planets and even Eight-Armed Tribe warships while searching for inspiration for Planet Network Positioning Teleport.
• On a planet covered in steaming green liquid, Su Hao realized that he could analyze matter’s distinctive effects on space to locate corresponding spatial modules through the Planet Network.
• Su Hao devised a process for observing an object, calculating its influence on space, and matching the results to determine a teleportation location.

Su Hao developed Planet Network Positioning Teleport by analyzing how matter affected spacetime and spatial modules, then building an automatic identification program. After successfully teleporting between planets and practicing for a year, he wondered how to reach a neighboring galaxy millions of light-years away.

• Su Hao spent ten years collecting and analyzing samples, then five years identifying how spacetime curvature changed spatial modules.
• Su Hao left his research chamber, reunited with Ashan and Feng Cheng, and relaxed with them for several days.
• Su Hao spent five years building an Auto-Identification Program that linked planetary observations to spatial module locations.
• Su Hao used the program to locate a rock on another planet and successfully teleported to it, then repeated the feat on a second planet.
• Su Hao practiced planetary teleportation for a year until he could use it quickly and confidently across the Cloud Ring System.
• Su Hao reached a planet at the edge of the Cloud Ring System and wondered how he could teleport to a neighboring galaxy millions of light-years away.

Humanity faced a renewed assault from the Eight-Armed Tribe, whose vast fleet overwhelmed its defenses. Su Hao ordered Xia Qingjun to prepare insecticide cubes, teleportation infrastructure, and crews, setting up an unexplained plan to defeat the invaders.

• Feng Cheng reported that over a hundred million Eight-Armed Tribe warships were overrunning human territory and outmatching humanity’s fleets.
• Feng Cheng and Ashan proposed using controlled Eight-Armed Gods and new wave weapons, but Su Hao said their approach would not solve the underlying threat.
• Su Hao went to Xia Qingjun and asked whether humans could pilot captured Eight-Armed Tribe warships; Xia Qingjun and the Captain said they could with modifications and training.
• Su Hao ordered Xia Qingjun to produce Insecticide Mini Cubes, prepare Teleportation Array materials and captured-ship facilities, and gather naval soldiers for training.
• Ashan intimidated the human officials into accepting Su Hao’s orders, then told Feng Cheng he would punish anyone who disrespected Su Hao.
• After Su Hao and his companions left, Xia Qingjun and the other officials agreed to carry out the orders despite not understanding the plan.

Su Hao used Planet Network Teleport to deliver the prepared Insecticide Mini Cubes to the Eight-Armed Tribe's Colony Planets, intending to wipe out most of the tribe. After sending away the final cube, Xu Shiqiang said the task was finished.

• A year after production began, Xia Qingjun and other human officials gathered in Blue Light Victory City's central Plaza to receive the Insecticide Mini Cubes.
• Feng Cheng inspected samples, embedded Source Pearls in every Mini Cube, and contacted Su Hao when the sealing was complete.
• Su Hao arrived, explained that the Mini Cubes would be dropped onto the Eight-Armed Tribe's Colony Planets, and told everyone to step back.
• Su Hao connected to the Planet Network and used Little Light's calculations to teleport the Mini Cubes to selected coordinates across the Eight-Armed Tribe's Colony Planets.
• Feng Cheng admitted he could not understand Su Hao's maneuver, while the Captain marveled at the vast gap between their abilities.
• Su Hao teleported the last Mini Cube, and the Pink Crystal receded to reveal Xu Shiqiang, who declared the task finished.

Su Hao’s Insecticide Mini Cubes wiped out most of the Eight-Armed Tribe on its Colony Planets, leaving human leaders stunned and Xia Qingjun confident of victory. As the humans prepared to deal with the Tribe’s remaining fleet, Su Hao promised to teach Feng Cheng and Ashan how to use his long-range delivery method.

• Su Hao told the Captain and the other officials that he had delivered Mini Cubes to every Eight-Armed Tribe Colony Planet and Supply Station, then left them to wait for further orders.
• Several days later, reports showed that the vast majority of the Eight-Armed Tribe on its Colony Planets had died, and Xia Qingjun summoned the ministers to review the news.
• Xia Qingjun confirmed Su Hao’s success and sent Gong Liang to report it to him, while the ministers struggled to believe the scale of the attack.
• Feng Cheng shared the reports with Su Hao and Ashan, and Su Hao said he could modify their Eight-Armed God and Universal Assistant so they could use the delivery ability too.
• The Captain told Xia Qingjun that Su Hao had received the news and that the Eight-Armed Tribe’s remaining 100 million warships were vulnerable; Xia Qingjun ordered the humans to pin them down and destroy them.

Xia Qingjun planned to lure the Eight-Armed Tribe fleet into a trap while Su Hao developed Network Teleport to help humanity seize the enemy’s warships. Ashan and Feng Cheng set out to establish Teleportation Arrays on the Eight-Armed Tribe’s Colony Planets, leaving Captain Gong Liang astonished by their reach.

• Xia Qingjun and the human leaders agreed to feign defeat and draw the Eight-Armed Tribe fleet deeper in before attacking.
• The Eight-Armed Tribe commanders, cut off from general command, mistook the communication failure for human interference and intensified their offensive.
• Su Hao equipped Ashan and Feng Cheng with Planet Network Access Keys and enabled them to use Network Teleport through their Universal Assistants.
• After a month of practice, Ashan and Feng Cheng received Su Hao’s order to find Colony Planets with docked warships and open Teleportation Array routes to Blue Light.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng proposed keeping an Eight-Armed Tribe population alive as a future source of materials, and Su Hao approved.
• Feng Cheng told Captain Gong Liang that Teleportation Arrays would be built on Colony Planets after Su Hao’s Insecticide Mini Cubes cleared them of most Eight-Armed Tribe members.

Su Hao devised a way for Ashan and Feng Cheng to overcome the Eight-Armed Tribe’s Space Interference, then spent five years upgrading the Light of the Universe and its Dark Room. As humanity pursued the remnants of the Eight-Armed Tribe, Ashan reported that his spiritual-power External Brain fell short of the neural version, leaving Su Hao to suspect it lacked active motility.

• After Ashan and Feng Cheng reported that Space Interference had made their Eight-Armed God avatars vulnerable, Su Hao proposed using a temporary Small World structure to stabilize space around them.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng tested the method under Su Hao’s Space Interference Formation, successfully used Flash Step, and left to take revenge on the Eight-Armed Tribe fleet.
• Five years later, Su Hao finished upgrading the Light of the Universe, adding a Suggestion program to the Dark Room that could make people overlook Marble Space.
• Humanity nearly wiped out the Eight-Armed Tribe’s fleet and pursued the remaining warships toward their Colony Planets.
• Ashan told Su Hao that his spiritual-power External Brain lacked the neural version’s Lesser Self and expanded Consciousness Power, and Su Hao suggested it might lack active motility.
