Chapter Summaries

Su Hao studied how Split Wills changed when separated from their original bodies, while human and Dragon Clan deities vanished and war approached Dragon Continent. Mother Dragon Sadora knew the missing Dragon Clan deities had been captured by her younger son, but the dragons faced the invasion without them.

• Su Hao separated the deities’ original bodies from their incarnations, watched the Split Wills argue and degenerate, then reunited them and repeated the experiment with the other deities.
• Su Hao focused his research on Soul Power and Split Wills, hoping to learn how consciousness could be transferred into another body or a Spirit Brain.
• God of Dark Night—Eternal and Golden God—Barry discussed the missing Dragon Clan deities and suspected the events were connected to the Red Gold Dragon who had returned after the Cloud Range explosion.
• The human deities’ sects assembled Soul Guards and Soul Mages and advanced toward Dragon Continent, while the Giant Dragons discovered their deities and Divine Envoys were nowhere to be found.
• Mother Dragon Sadora learned from a Red Gold Dragon friend that humans were invading and privately recognized that her younger son had captured the Dragon Clan deities.

Mother Dragon Sadora hesitated to summon Su Hao because his capture of the Dragon Clan's deities left her torn as humans advanced on Dragon Continent. Meanwhile, Su Hao restored Ashan and Feng Cheng's powers and sent them to explore Cross Star and build equipment in the Otherworld.

• Mother Dragon Sadora put away the Location Stone and decided to wait for the other Giant Dragons to find a way to repel the human army.
• Su Hao modified Ashan and Feng Cheng's genes and installed External Brains, restoring their Spiritual Power and former abilities.
• Su Hao warned Ashan and Feng Cheng to use God Clones outside the Second-Level World and told them to build their own high-precision equipment.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng controlled avatars to reach Cross Star and began exploring the planet.
• Ashan proposed finding mineral deposits and recruiting laborers, including Soul Guards and Giant Dragons, to help build a production line.

The imprisoned Dragon Clan deities discussed how Ryan had captured them and devised a plan to lure Human Race deities into captivity, but Ryan overheard them. Meanwhile, the Human Race and Mountain Spirit Clan armies advanced toward the Giant Dragons’ Ancestral Land as Sadora and the invading deities wondered why the Dragon Gods had not appeared.

• Gu concluded that Ryan could locate their true bodies through their avatars and proposed luring more deities into capture to reduce the risks to the five Dragon Clan deities.
• Gu suggested using marked Divine Envoys or avatars to draw Human Race deities into investigating, but Ryan appeared and revealed that he had heard their plan.
• The Human Race and Mountain Spirit Clan forces landed on Dragon Continent, routed the Giant Dragons, and advanced toward the Ancestral Land without any Dragon deities appearing.
• Sadora hid in Su Hao’s Small World Nest and considered contacting Ryan through the Location Stone as the invasion neared the Ancestral Land.
• The Human Race and Mountain Spirit Clan deities debated why the Dragon Gods were absent, then agreed to continue their advance and wait for them to appear.

Mother Dragon Sadora asked Su Hao to save the Giant Dragon Clan from extinction, and he promised to handle the crisis. Su Hao used the five Dragon Gods’ auras to lure the human deities toward a prepared trap, but the wary group advanced only hesitantly.

• Mother Dragon Sadora told Su Hao that the Giant Dragon Clan faced extinction without its deities and begged him to release them to defend their homeland.
• Su Hao reassured Sadora, then asked the five Dragon Gods to place their avatars’ auras on him so he could lure the human deities into investigating.
• The human deities sensed the five Dragon Gods’ auras, but their attempts to observe the source remotely revealed nothing.
• God of Dark Night Eternal and Golden God Barry made excuses and withdrew, wary of entering the God of Secrecy’s range.
• The remaining human deities set off together, each trying to hang back, until they stopped and looked at one another.

Su Hao captured all eighteen human and Mountain Spirit Clan deities, while Ashan and Feng Cheng seized the fighting humans, dragons, and Divine Envoys to turn them into workers. The world’s deities and powerful Soul users vanished, leaving the Dragon Clan safe and the newcomers preparing to rebuild production.

• Su Hao trapped eleven deities in his Small World, then used the Galaxy Network to capture their true bodies and the remaining seven, earning the God Collection Achievement.
• Su Hao told Mother Dragon Sadora he had captured eighteen deities, stunning her, while his younger brothers asked whether they could eat them.
• Feng Cheng and Ashan decided to return to Dragon Continent to capture laborers after finding the world’s civilization underdeveloped.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng teleported into the battle between humans and dragons and rapidly collected the Giant Dragons, human and Mountain Spirit Clan forces, and Divine Envoys into their Small Worlds.
• Ashan assigned Feng Cheng to train the captives as workers and began planning the restoration of production lines, as deities and powerful Soul users disappeared across the world.

The captured deities bickered while Su Hao recorded their Consciousness Information and began testing how a deity could extract and restore a follower’s will. He left a pirate’s will merging back into his body as he investigated whether the process could lead to a way of transferring consciousness.

• God of Ten Thousand Thunders Gu bragged about luring the deities into the Small World, and the human deities argued over who was responsible for their capture.
• God of Dark Night Eternal claimed she had blocked out the insults with a Silence Spell, and Barry admired her composure.
• Su Hao asked the deities to cooperate, recorded their Consciousness Information, and began with Eternal and then Barry.
• Su Hao brought in a pirate follower, and God of Resurgence Zhuxia extracted the pirate’s will at Su Hao’s request.
• Su Hao recorded the pirate’s now-empty body and asked Zhuxia to restore the will, then observed the fusion in Marble Space.

Su Hao learned how Soul Power layered different wills and asked Zhuxia to document his knowledge of it and the Baigar. Meanwhile, Feng Cheng freed the captured Giant Dragons after declaring them his friends, but they attacked him instead.

• Su Hao discovered that a believer's will could not be separated from Soul Power without killing the believer, then learned from Zhuxia how different wills were layered within it.
• Zhuxia explained that he could remove his believers' wills and reclaim their Soul Power, and said the Deities had developed ways to conceal themselves from Baigar.
• Su Hao ended the experiments, sent the pirate believer back, and asked Zhuxia to organize his knowledge of Soul Power and Baigar for him.
• Dusk Hoof Sack recalled his disastrous romantic history and the battle in which Feng Cheng rescued the Dragon Clan, only to declare them his spoils of war.
• Feng Cheng released the Giant Dragons and called them his friends, but they roared, charged at him, and breathed fire when his Source Ability failed to make them friendly.

Feng Cheng learned from Su Hao that Soul Power made consciousness-altering Source Abilities ineffective, then forced the imprisoned Giant Dragons to become his friends. He appointed Dusk Hoof Sak governor and headed to the humans’ prison to repeat his method.

• Feng Cheng asked Su Hao why 'Good Friend' failed, and Su Hao explained that Soul Mages’ consciousness existed in Soul Power rather than brain tissue.
• Su Hao told Feng Cheng that Baigar had a lifespan limit and described his plan to study Soul Power and search the universe for unfamiliar forms of life.
• Inspired by Su Hao’s vision of exploring nebulae, Feng Cheng resolved to focus on his task and make friends with the imprisoned Giant Dragons by killing those who refused.
• Feng Cheng subdued the Giant Dragons and killed those who rejected his offer until Dusk Hoof Sak agreed to be his friend.
• Feng Cheng appointed Dusk Hoof Sak Giant Dragon Governor, told Ashan that his method had worked, and went to the humans’ prison.

A year after the Deities vanished from the world, Su Hao told the eighteen imprisoned Deities that their perception was slowing and sent them on a vacation across the star system. The Deities ended up stranded somewhere unfamiliar after Eternal’s randomly chosen destination proved impossible to identify.

• People adapted to the Deities’ disappearance, while some Soul Mages searched for them and children began doubting that Deities existed.
• The Deities discussed their year of experiments with Su Hao and his ideas for Soul Power networks and a New Human Soul Completion Project.
• Su Hao granted the Deities a few days off anywhere in the star system except Cross Star, then warned them that their thinking was gradually slowing.
• Su Hao teleported the Deities far from Cross Star and used Gravity to take them to the star system Eternal had chosen.
• After Su Hao left, Baishi led the Deities to explore, but none of them knew where they were, and Eternal admitted she had picked the destination at random.

Su Hao tested his theory that the Ten-Color Plate’s deities needed constant information exchange to keep their thoughts active, then reviewed what he had learned about Soul Power and his long-term goals. He left Ashan and Feng Cheng preparing for an expedition to find Baigar’s Main Star.

• Su Hao exiled the eighteen deities to a barren region of the galaxy to test whether isolation would slow their thoughts further.
• Su Hao recorded his findings about Soul Power, including its use in transferring consciousness, its recovery and decay, and its communication and combat abilities.
• Su Hao concluded that he could create his own Soul Power and a new Spirit Brain, while identifying Fortune Wave and Marble Space as his final goals.
• Su Hao asked Ashan and Feng Cheng about their Egg God project, and Ashan reported that the first batch had been produced and was undergoing tests.
• Su Hao told Ashan and Feng Cheng to finish the base so they could search the galaxy for Baigar’s Main Star.

Su Hao confirmed that the Deities’ thoughts were stretching because they lacked the information needed to generate enough Soul Power, and he began preparing an experiment to create Soul Power himself. He recruited volunteers for the experiment and directed Feng Cheng to intensify the search for Baigar’s Main Star near Cross Star.

• The stranded Deities blamed Eternal for their isolation until Su Hao arrived and scattered them across the galaxy for a longer vacation.
• After more than half a year, Su Hao confirmed that the Deities’ thoughts were stretching and worked out that Soul Power required the Ten-Color Plate, light-like particles, and abundant information.
• Su Hao contacted the Deities, returned them to Cross Star at their request, and told them their thoughts had stretched by roughly one-thousandth compared with a year earlier.
• Su Hao asked Feng Cheng to recruit people without Soul Power for experiments, and Feng Cheng brought energetic young volunteers to the laboratory.
• Su Hao told Feng Cheng to search more thoroughly within ten thousand light-years of Cross Star for Baigar’s Main Star.

After two years of research, Su Hao remained unable to create pure Soul Power and suspected the answer lay on Baigar's Main Star. His search with Ashan and Feng Cheng uncovered no likely planet, but Su Hao realized they had overlooked stars.

• Su Hao explained that Soul Power required a pure core he could not produce, and decided to search for Baigar's Main Star to discover how it came into being.
• Su Hao gave the imprisoned Eighteen Gods several years of vacation and introduced them to World Creation Assistant Version 1.0 so they could study and help transform his Small World.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng reported that they had searched every planet within ten thousand light-years of Cross Star without finding Baigar's Main Star.
• Su Hao joined Ashan and Feng Cheng in searching planetary interiors throughout the region, but a year of searching yielded no results.
• Before leaving the Galaxy Network, Su Hao realized that they had overlooked stars and considered that Baigar might have originated on one.

Su Hao, Ashan, and Feng Cheng searched stars for Baigar and found them on a dying Red Giant Star. Su Hao concluded that the star’s transformation created the conditions for their birth and began investigating where they originated.

• Su Hao redirected Ashan and Feng Cheng to search stars, then sent his three thousand Lesser Selves to investigate them.
• Feng Cheng found what appeared to be a Ten-Color Plate on a Red Giant Star, and Su Hao joined him there.
• Su Hao observed the Ten-Color Plates and reasoned that the Red Giant Star’s transformation could generate the Soul Power needed for Baigar to be born.
• Su Hao noticed the Baigar were unusually small and still, and suspected their thoughts were in an extreme stretching state.
• Ashan found an energy vent that occasionally ejected Baigar, and Su Hao followed its opening as far into the Red Giant Star as he could.
• Su Hao decided to study the Baigar’s distribution and consider bringing the eighteen Baigar he had captured to the star for tests.

Su Hao located Baigar’s homeland inside a Red Giant Star and brought the Deities there to explore and record its environment. The Deities followed him toward the star despite fearing its heat.

• Su Hao failed to land his God Clone on the Red Giant Star and concluded that Baigar might be vulnerable to attacks that destroy information.
• Su Hao checked the Deities’ progress in their construction Game and told them their vacation was over.
• Su Hao teleported the Deities to space and revealed that the Red Giant Star was Baigar’s homeland, confirmed by the Baigar consciousnesses in their Ten-Color Plates.
• Su Hao ordered the Deities to explore and record the star using their Exploration Assistants, then flew toward it.
• God of Dark Night Eternal and Barry led the way, and the other Deities followed despite their fears.

Su Hao sent eighteen deities into the Red Giant Star to study Baigar and assigned them missions through the Assistant. After they found a Baigar gathering place, he tasked them with locating a naturally born Baigar while Ashan and Feng Cheng began preparing independent planetary civilizations for his research.

• Su Hao convinced the eighteen deities to enter the Red Giant Star, then placed a Location Stone nearby and began writing a detection program.
• The deities explored the star, found that its Soul Power was abundant but its environment was uncomfortable, and split into six teams after the Assistant tasked them with finding a Baigar gathering place.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng reported that no Baigar-like life existed on nearby stars, confirming that Baigar had originated on the Red Giant Star.
• Su Hao instructed Ashan and Feng Cheng to make habitable planets in the star system livable and develop independent civilizations for future experiments.
• The eighteen deities found a place where Baigar were relatively numerous, completed their mission, and received access to a second mini-game.
• Su Hao assigned the deities a new mission to find a naturally born, non-fission Baigar within two years, and they set out individually while staying in contact.

Su Hao modeled the Red Giant Star while the eighteen gods searched for the place where Baigar were born. The gods found a likely Origin Land but failed to locate a newborn Baigar, and Su Hao assigned them a new exploration task.

• Su Hao refined his Red Giant Star simulation and designed a Small World and Rune Array Disk to recreate the conditions for generating Soul Power.
• After debating how to search, the gods followed Yi’s suggestion to look for places where Baigar gathered most densely.
• A year and a half later, the gods reported a vast hollow surrounded by Baigar, where they had sensed an immense amount of Soul Power, and concluded it was the Baigar Origin Land.
• Su Hao judged their discovery likely to be the birthplace but gave their task a 60% completion rating because they had not found a newborn Baigar, reducing their reward to the group chat function.
• The gods argued in the group chat over who had submitted the task prematurely, and Eternal uploaded a recording of their earlier discussion.
• Su Hao gave the gods a third task: enter the Origin Land space, activate the new Exploration function, and record the Origin Land within five years.

Su Hao changed his approach to studying Soul Power by capturing Baigar and trying to communicate with it. The Eighteen Gods earned access to a Game Exchange Mall and realized their missions made them wage earners, but they abandoned the idea of resisting Su Hao.

• After three years of simulations failed to produce Soul Power, Su Hao decided to seek information by awakening a Baigar's consciousness.
• Su Hao ordered the Eighteen Gods to capture a Baigar and bring it to the first planet outside the Red Giant Star, promising to unlock the Game Exchange Mall.
• The Eighteen Gods captured Baigar and delivered them to Su Hao, who placed them in his Small World and unlocked the mall for the gods.
• The gods inspected the mall's games and learned from Yi that they had to complete missions to earn Points for exchanges.
• Red Light proposed resisting Su Hao, but the other gods teased him, and he decided that earning Points through missions was acceptable.

Su Hao analyzed the Baigars’ consciousness and accelerated Ke Baigar’s thinking so he could communicate. Ke Baigar revealed that Baigars had once emerged from Gar Pool, and Su Hao set out to question his family to estimate when that stopped.

• Su Hao analyzed the Baigars’ Consciousness Information and found that their minds were highly intelligent but thought extremely slowly, with no clear records of naturally born Baigars.
• Su Hao decided to study Red Giant Stars across the Galaxy Network to reconstruct the planet’s past, while he began awakening the Baigars by feeding one of them information in a Virtual World.
• After ten days, Su Hao returned Ke Baigar’s consciousness to his body, and Ke Baigar introduced himself and described the unfamiliar surroundings.
• Su Hao learned from Ke Baigar that Gar Pool was remembered as the birthplace of Baigars, but that new Baigars had stopped emerging from it after the fifteenth ancestor.
• Ke Baigar said he was the 103rd generation, had split off 21 children, and could not estimate time, so Su Hao asked him to lead the way to his father and first child.

After ten years of research, Su Hao identified the conditions that produced Baigars and began investigating newly born Red Giant Stars to obtain Soul Power. He sent Ashan and Feng Cheng to transform planets and assigned the Eighteen Gods a lucrative exploration task, leaving them rushing toward the Red Stone Star outpost.

• Su Hao reconstructed Baigar inheritance memories and concluded that Baigars were born as stars transformed into Red Giant Stars, giving him a way to pursue Soul Power.
• Ashan reported finding 530 transformable planets and more than a hundred newly born Red Giant Stars; Su Hao told Ashan and Feng Cheng to begin transforming planets and develop a Modification Mini Cube.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng asked whether they could recreate worlds from their past, and Su Hao let them choose while reflecting that such planets would only be copies of memories.
• The Eighteen Gods played Battle Royale, where Nati performed so poorly with his SSS-rank Godslayer Taimeng that the others mocked him.
• The Eighteen Gods received a task to explore newly born Red Giant Stars for 100 Points and a bonus game draw per star, and they flew toward the Red Stone Star outpost.

Su Hao developed a plan to remotely send and recall the deities by turning them into Location Stones. After testing a stable carrier substance on a pirate, he implanted it in the pirate’s brow as a Double Ring Mark.

• Su Hao sent the eighteen deities through the Galaxy Network to explore a newborn Red Giant Star.
• Su Hao considered how to teleport people remotely and realized that turning them into Location Stones could let him recall them from anywhere.
• Su Hao summoned a former pirate and tested implanting a trace of his Mental Tentacle in the pirate’s body, but found bone could not preserve it reliably.
• Su Hao formed a purple fluid substance into a carrier for his Mental Tentacle and confirmed that it was stable.
• Su Hao implanted the purple fluid in the pirate’s brow, creating a mark he named the Double Ring Mark.
