Chapter Summaries

Wang Jixuan met Dragonfly Aunt in the Psionic Capital, learned that the Spiritual Practitioners were preparing a war against all Human Civilization, and asked her to find three rare herbs for his cultivation. After investigating the Ancient Civilization’s hidden secret place from a distance, he found the dying Li Weiqi imprisoned in a research institute and began searching his soul.

• Dragonfly Aunt told Wang Jixuan that the Spiritual Practitioners had formed thirty-six detachments and were preparing to retaliate against all Human Civilization, while a possible Blade Beast envoy hid in the Psionic Capital.
• Wang Jixuan asked Dragonfly Aunt to find Biyou Grass, Sky Crane Earth Auspicious Vine, and Golden Cloud Fruit, and she agreed to investigate the Biological 13th Institute and nearby Satellite Cities.
• Wang Jixuan left using Earth Escape, then watched Dragonfly Aunt to make sure she had not exposed him before resuming his search.
• Peony confirmed that Little Hua Ting was at the rebuilt Fortress No. 76 site, but Wang Jixuan chose to delay visiting the Ancient Civilization’s secret place and instead study the Psionic Capital’s weaknesses.
• Wang Jixuan found Li Weiqi chained and dying in an underground prison, learned that he had become a Detachment Leader before his recent disappearance, and used the Gentle Breeze Entering Dream technique to search his soul.

Li Weiqi’s memories revealed how he spied on the Psionic Capital’s planned offensive for Fu Jian, only to be exposed, tortured, and condemned by Angel and Meng Jin. Hidden beneath the laboratory, Wang Jixuan learned that Li Weiqi’s intelligence had already reached the Naturalist Faction and began considering another way to save him as Meng Jin approached to kill him.

• Li Weiqi trained himself, advanced to an Awakened A-Class Psionicist, and became a Detachment Leader while secretly gathering evidence of the Psionic Capital’s planned attack on the Human Military.
• Li Weiqi passed the encrypted evidence to a Naturalist Faction contact, but the operation was exposed six days later.
• Angel revealed that she knew Li Weiqi was a spy, had him seized, and sent him to the laboratory, where he endured days of torture without revealing his contact.
• Wang Jixuan discovered that Li Weiqi had supplied the intelligence Dragonfly Aunt received and resolved to consider saving him despite the risks.
• Angel asked Meng Jin to kill Li Weiqi, and Meng Jin entered the cell as Wang Jixuan abandoned a direct attack and contemplated another plan.

Meng Jin tortured Li Weiqi to death while seeking the missing intelligence, but Wang Jixuan saved Li Weiqi’s soul and recruited him as a future helper. Wang Jixuan began searching for a body for Li Weiqi, then learned the Living Museum was inside the Ball of Silence.

• Meng Jin used healing light and torture to interrogate Li Weiqi about the intelligence, then killed him when he kept repeating that Meng Jin had been crippled by Black Storm.
• Li Weiqi awoke as a soul in darkness and followed a light into an illusion where Wang Jixuan, disguised as Old Man Daoji, showed him a memory proving his identity.
• Old Man Daoji told Li Weiqi that Wang Zheng had returned to the Upper Realm and would be confined for three thousand years, then asked him to become a helper.
• Li Weiqi eagerly agreed to help Wang Zheng but became despondent when he spoke of Angel and the child he never knew about.
• Wang Jixuan told Peony he had saved Li Weiqi’s soul in a Soul Nourishing Talisman and began looking for a body among the failed Infusion Experiments.
• Mai Xiaomei sent word that the Living Museum was inside the Ball of Silence, surprising Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan taught Li Weiqi a rapid cultivation method and helped him enter the body of the dying Wan Linqian, hoping he could become an ally inside the Psionic Capital. After Wan Linqian began to revive, Wang Jixuan turned his attention to probing the Ball of Silence for the Herbal Medicine he needed.

• Wang Jixuan decided to settle Li Weiqi’s situation before investigating the Ball of Silence and taught him the Dragon Python Transformation cultivation method.
• Li Weiqi chose the rapid cultivation path and asked Wang Jixuan to find him a powerful body, even if it belonged to a young woman.
• Wang Jixuan and Li Weiqi entered Professor Wan Wenxuan’s laboratory and selected the soul-dispersed Wan Linqian, whose body had A+-grade psionic abilities.
• Li Weiqi entered Wan Linqian’s body, while Wang Jixuan warned him that he would have no second chance if he failed.
• Wan Linqian’s readings began to rise, and Wang Jixuan left the laboratory to probe the Ball of Silence.

Wang Jixuan secretly investigated the Ball of Silence, obtained living samples of two rare herbs through Dragonfly Aunt, and learned of her frustration with the Psionicists’ subservience to the Spiritual Practitioners. Her intelligence led him to a secret Arctic drilling site that appeared to connect to the ancient ruins beneath Earth, where two powerful Psionicists said the ruins were nearly within reach.

• Wang Jixuan infiltrated the Ball of Silence with his spiritual sense and found Biyou Grass and Sky Crane Earth Auspicious Vine in its living gene bank, but no Golden Cloud Fruit.
• Dragonfly Aunt obtained a living sample of Biyou Grass for Wang Jixuan and arranged for the vine to be sent later.
• Dragonfly Aunt told Wang Jixuan she wanted to seize power and change the Naturalist Faction, but he advised her that Psionicists remained bound to the Spiritual Practitioners.
• Dragonfly Aunt shared intelligence about a secret Arctic laboratory, and Wang Jixuan traveled north to investigate its suspected drilling site.
• Wang Jixuan discovered the site’s pit connected to spatial pathways and watched two SS-Class Psionicists discuss how the awakened ruins might be reached within two or three months.
• Wang Jixuan decided he needed to consult his allies before the Spiritual Practitioners reached the ancient ruins.

Wang Jixuan reunited with Number Five, who revealed her true name as Amina, and they discussed the Wings of Light Spiritual Practitioners’ excavation and the possible danger surrounding the Ancient Civilization ruins. Amina agreed to accompany him to the North Pole and help stage a deception that would turn the Blade Beasts against Wings of Light.

• Wang Jixuan found Number Five at her hidden Supply Vehicle and told her about the excavation in the Arctic Circle.
• Number Five questioned Gao Huating’s past-life self, who warned that she was nearing the collapse of her self-awareness and said Wings of Light’s digging seemed insignificant.
• Amina returned to her original appearance, told Wang Jixuan to call her by her real name, and warned that the three Wings of Light Spiritual Practitioners might still be close to entering the ruins.
• Wang Jixuan asked Amina to travel with him to the North Pole and offered her Soul Nurturing Pill formulas and service from Red Snake and Treant Beta in exchange for her help.
• Wang Jixuan proposed making the Blade Beasts believe Wings of Light was about to obtain an Ancient Civilization relic so they would attack them.

Wang Jixuan and Amina prepared a plan to disrupt the Psionic Capital, while Li Weiqi investigated the resulting flyers and witnessed a vast aurora eruption. Wang Jixuan completed his underground operation but found four powerful psionic cultivators waiting nearby.

• Wang Jixuan took Amina to the North Pole, where she detected a network of teleportation stations descending toward an underground psionic station.
• Wang Jixuan explained his operation plan, taught Amina methods to conceal her aura, and sent her to act separately while he returned to the Psionic Capital.
• Wang Jixuan used a clumsy rumor-spreading method, printing and distributing flyers that mocked the Psionic Capital's leaders and warned of an ancient gate and coming judgment.
• Li Weiqi learned that hundreds of people had been mind-controlled into spreading the flyers, and his father advised him not to bypass his chain of command.
• A massive seven-colored pillar of light rose from the north as Wang Jixuan finished his underground operation and sensed three members of Wings of Light and a fourth powerful psionic cultivator approaching.

Wang Jixuan watched the Bright Wings Council’s alliance with the Blade Beasts collapse after Nierda Tamon killed a Gali Nuo before the undersea anomaly could be verified. He and Amina prepared to withdraw, but Peony suggested taking the corpse, and Wang Jixuan sensed it might still retain consciousness.

• Wang Jixuan secretly followed Sabrina, Wanda, Nierda Tamon, and a Gali Nuo to the ocean pillar and listened as they argued over their contract and the ancient ruins.
• Wanda descended to investigate the undersea anomaly, while the Gali Nuo accused the Spiritual Practitioners of preparing to betray the Blade Beasts.
• Nierda Tamon punched through the Gali Nuo’s chest and shattered its crystal core, then led Sabrina toward the pillar of light despite her objections.
• Amina joined Wang Jixuan underwater and told him her formation was still disrupting the Spiritual Practitioners’ station; Wang Jixuan explained that the Gali Nuo had been killed.
• Peony asked Wang Jixuan to recover the Gali Nuo’s corpse for Professor Shen, and Wang Jixuan swept it away, sensing a faint trace of consciousness.

Wang Jixuan studied the Gali Nuo corpse and used his Dragon Python Strange Soul to control it, only to discover that the Blade Beasts had detected a new individual and were ordering it retrieved. Meanwhile, the Psionic Capital prepared for war as the Blade Beast Swarm began a major mobilization.

• Sabrina, Wanda, and Nierda Tamon emerged from the Deep Sea and realized someone had lured them into a trap, while Nierda Tamon prepared to cover their retreat if war came.
• Seven Blade Beast Consciousness Entities declared the Bright Wings Council traitors and ordered them destroyed before they could obtain the Ancient Civilization's power.
• More than nine months later, the Blade Beast Swarm mobilized King-Class forces toward the Arctic Circle, while the Psionic Capital prepared for war and requested human aid.
• Wang Jixuan and Amina examined the Gali Nuo corpse, and Peony reported the Psionic Capital's preparations, the Blade Beast mobilization, and Dragonfly Aunt's success in obtaining the second Herbal Medicine.
• Wang Jixuan used his Dragon Python Strange Soul to possess the Gali Nuo body and insert a King-Class crystal core, then withdrew it after hearing Blade Beasts call the body a new mutant and order it brought back.

Wang Jixuan and Amina tapped into the Blade Beasts’ communication network by using Gali Nuo’s body, while Fu Jian prepared to discuss aid for the besieged Psionic Capital. Wang Jixuan learned that the Blade Beasts planned to destroy the area and that reinforcements were coming through a Stargate.

• Peony told Wang Jixuan that Fu Jian wanted to know his plans, and Wang Jixuan arranged a private conversation while delaying his return to the cultivation sanctuary.
• Wang Jixuan told Fu Jian how he had provoked the Blade Beasts and Spiritual Practitioners into conflict, and Fu Jian agreed to try to save civilians while keeping Wang’s survival secret.
• Wang Jixuan and Amina used Gali Nuo’s corpse to infiltrate the Blade Beasts’ communication network, with Wang posing as a juvenile Blade Beast.
• Wang Jixuan learned that the Blade Beasts viewed Gali Nuos as their civilization’s thinkers and planned to defeat the Spiritual Practitioners before eliminating humanity.
• The Blade Beasts revealed that reinforcements would arrive soon through a charged Stargate, that the Stargate had been disrupted locally, and that everything in the area would ultimately be destroyed.

Wang Jixuan and Amina learned that the Blade Beasts had broken their contract with the Bright Wings Council and were preparing to attack the Psionic Capital, while humanity organized an evacuation and military response. Amina left to support the Spiritual Practitioners as a D5 subordinate general, and Wang Jixuan remained hidden near the Sixth Pillar as Colonel Ling Tong arrived.

• Wang Jixuan shared his intelligence with Amina, and they concluded the Blade Beasts had resumed their war against the Spiritual Practitioners and might open Stargates for Pillar-Class swarms.
• Peony reported that one damaged Core Circuit could awaken the eleven sleeping Pillar-Class Blade Beasts, increasing Amina and Wang Jixuan's concern for humanity's defenses.
• Wang Jixuan took the identity of Special Commissioner Li Deli and monitored the Blade Beast advance toward the Psionic Capital as humanity established a civilian evacuation corridor and prepared reinforcements.
• Fu Jian rejected the Six Elders' request to disable their nuclear-bomb safeguards and proposed using the Spiritual Practitioners as bait in a defensive plan involving nuclear bombs.
• Amina decided to travel to Commander Fu Jian and support the Spiritual Practitioners as a D5 subordinate general; Wang Jixuan gave her a flying sword and a simplified Spiritual Energy Sword Control Technique.
• A transport plane landed near Wang Jixuan's position, and Peony identified its arrival as Colonel Ling Tong.

Wang Jixuan watched the Psionic Capital’s defenses face the largest Blade Beast Tide in human history while he waited to see the Spiritual Practitioners’ abilities. Wanda’s formation briefly checked the invasion, but Pseudo Spirit Slaves then ambushed the Psionicists and broke their first defensive line.

• Wang Jixuan secretly watched Ling Tong return, then chose to remain hidden and avoid taking an active role in the battle.
• Peony reported that Amina had joined the D5 team and was heading toward Fu Jian’s core force, while Wang Jixuan decided to observe the conflict from the sidelines.
• A blue-haired alien visitor warned Fu Jian that the Blade Beast Civilization had prepared a Stargate, and the Blade Beasts concentrated their forces around the Psionic Capital.
• Wanda activated a formation that halted the Blade Beast Tide briefly, but the golden barrier shattered and he weakened as he continued to resist the assault.
• Psionicists charged the Blade Beasts and held the line during an initial probe, until Pseudo Spirit Slaves launched surprise attacks and caused the first defense to collapse.

Wang Jixuan watched the Psionic Capital’s defenders reclaim their first line while Fu Jian refused the Six Elders’ demands to join the battle. When Blade Beasts attacked civilian evacuation routes, Wang Jixuan entered their command network and redirected them to frighten the evacuees instead of killing them.

• Wanda empowered the Psionicists, helping them drive back the Blade Beast Tide and reclaim the first line of defense.
• The Six Elders demanded that Fu Jian release them to fight, but he refused and ended their call.
• Blade Beasts attacked civilian evacuation routes, and Fu Jian ordered the military to provide as much fire support as possible.
• Wang Jixuan used his foreign soul to enter a Galinno’s command network and took control of a King-Class Blade Beast’s orders.
• Wang Jixuan ordered the Blade Beasts not to kill the evacuees, then mimicked Zheng Shiduo’s cruelty so they would terrorize the civilians instead.
• The Galinnos mistook Wang Jixuan for a wounded, vengeful recruit and let him continue directing the Blade Beasts.

Wang Jixuan spied on the Blade Beasts and relayed intelligence to Fu Jian as the assault on the Psionic Capital escalated. When Nierda Tamon and Sabrina emerged at near-full strength and devastated the battlefield, a warning about space signaled the arrival of an even greater threat.

• Wang Jixuan used his alternate soul to observe the Blade Beasts, discovered Brain-Eating Worms inside the Psionic Capital, and relayed intelligence to Fu Jian through Peony.
• Wang Jixuan avoided the Brain-Eating Worms' perspective afterward and watched the Blade Beasts and Psionicists intensify their battle, while Dragonfly Aunt joined a rescue effort.
• The Blade Beasts attacked the retreating Psionicists with suicide charges, evolving Pseudo Spirit Slaves, and Super King-Class Blade Beasts.
• Nierda Tamon burst from the Ball of Silence and killed multiple King-Class Blade Beasts, while Sabrina joined the fight with her longbow.
• Peony told Wang Jixuan that Sabrina and Nierda Tamon had recovered seventy percent of their strength, and a messenger urgently warned that space was reacting.

Wang Jixuan watched the Blade Beasts deceive the Wings of Light into attacking a false Stargate, then launch four Pillar-Class Blade Beast swarms against humanity. As the battle turned against the humans, he sent Amina to negotiate with Sabrina and Wanda, where she demanded answers about the Ancient Civilization treasure, Amiposo, and Blade Beast interstellar mining.

• Wang Jixuan watched Nierda Tamon and Sabrina attack a false Stargate before a second gate opened and Blade Beast swarms emerged.
• The Galinnos revealed that they had deliberately limited the attack to pressure the Spiritual Practitioners into surrendering or handing over Old Sophie's Core Circuit.
• Wang Jixuan saw Nierda Tamon and the human forces struggle against the Blade Beast Tide, then sent Amina to negotiate while he searched for Golden Cloud Fruit.
• Amina reached Sabrina and Wanda near the Ball of Silence and asked them about the Ancient Civilization treasure, Amiposo's agreement and whereabouts, and Blade Beast interstellar mining.
• Wanda offered to answer Amina's questions while Sabrina continued fighting.

Wanda and Sabrina revealed that the Blade Beasts harvested psionic energy by slaughtering sentient life, while Amina pressed them for answers and negotiated an oath to unite against them. As the Blade Beast forces closed in, Nierda Tamon agreed to the terms but demanded that Black Storm reveal himself and draw their attention.

• Wanda explained that the Spiritual Practitioners had agreed to leave five hundred million people as spiritual slaves, and that the Blade Beasts had been created to mine psionic energy.
• Wanda and Sabrina revealed that Blade Beasts harvested stone flowers formed after sentient life died, and that the first Blade Beast souls had been human in appearance.
• Amina questioned them about the Ancient Civilization and the released Core Circuit, then demanded a fair agreement before helping them.
• Amina proposed four conditions, including placing Psionicists under Fu Jian's command and requiring the Bright Wings members to fight the Blade Beasts.
• Nierda Tamon agreed to the terms but required Black Storm to reveal himself and draw the Blade Beasts' attention.
• Sabrina urged everyone to forge the oath together.

Amina and Sabrina formed an oath with Nierda Tamon, allowing Human Civilization to join the defense of Psionic Capital and turn the battle against the Blade Beasts. The Blade Beasts retreated, but with the Stargate nearing completion and another one possible later, Wang Jixuan faced a looming assault and refused Nierda Tamon’s request to meet.

• Amina, Sabrina, and Nierda Tamon swore to fight the Blade Beasts and cooperate with humanity, while Wanda refused to join the oath.
• Amina opened the subspace gate, bringing Spiritual Practitioners, recovered SS-Class Psionicists, and military forces into Psionic Capital; her Starry Night Blessing helped stabilize the defenses.
• Fu Jian’s prepared forces launched a full assault, with ground units, space fortresses, and the Nine Comprehensive War Zones attacking the Blade Beasts.
• The Blade Beasts ordered a retreat and sent the four Pillar-Class Blade Beasts toward Earth’s far side as they reassessed humanity’s threat.
• Wang Jixuan considered the approaching Stargate deadline and refused Nierda Tamon’s request to meet him.

Wang Jixuan learned that the Blade Beasts would return through the Stargate in twenty-six days and that Gao Huating’s past self could offer a way to close it if someone passed her test. He prepared to pursue both that lead and alchemy, while deciding to make Galinno’s corpse into his second battle puppet.

• Wang Jixuan received news that the Blade Beasts were rebuilding in the Americas and that the Stargate would activate in twenty-seven days, while Peony’s team found the Golden Cloud Fruit and Gao Huating’s past self offered a route into the Ancient Civilization with a test.
• Amina returned to the Sixth Pillar and told Wang Jixuan that Wanda had refused the oath, the Wings of Light disagreed about surrender, and the Stargate left them little time.
• Amina recounted her argument with Sabrina, Wanda, and Nierda Tamon, who had sworn to fight the Blade Beasts and wanted to close the Stargate with human help.
• Wang Jixuan told Amina to work with the Wings of Light on closing the Stargate, keep Little Hua Ting’s information secret, and seek the Ancient Civilization if their efforts failed.
• Wang Jixuan instructed Peony to prepare for Open Furnace Alchemy and decided to refine Galinno’s corpse into his second battle puppet.

The Spiritual Practitioners rewarded the Psionic Capital’s elders and demanded they help close the Arctic Stargate or reconcile with the human military. Wang Jixuan returned to Fortress 76 through his alien soul and a Galinno battle puppet, then called the Buddha Hall Squad together before heading to inspect other forces.

• Sabrina, Wanda, and Nierda Tamon gave the seventeen elders new Psionic Energy Circuits and explained that they had twenty-six planetary rotation cycles to close the Arctic Stargate.
• Taisheng Steel urged unity with the human military, while Nierda Tamon and Sabrina said the elders must either solve the crisis or make peace with Fu Jian’s forces.
• Wu Man, Zheng Shiduo, and Ji Xiao discussed whether Wang Jixuan would return as they rested among the ruins of Fortress 76.
• Wang Jixuan appeared in a Galinno battle puppet, revealed his alien soul, and reunited with Wu Man, Zheng Shiduo, and Ji Xiao.
• Wang Jixuan praised Ji Xiao’s efforts to save people but warned that good deeds did not erase past wrongdoing, then ordered the Buddha Hall Squad assembled and set out to inspect Fortress No. 82.

Wang Jixuan visited Zhou Zhengde and learned that Kong Lianmei and Ye Zi might be linked to a suspicious network trafficking people and creating Pseudo Spirit Slaves. As Wang Jixuan reunited with Ling Tong, a mysterious girl at a Blade Beast research institute nurtured a crystal resembling a nascent soul and said her plan would soon be complete.

• Wang Jixuan observed that Gao Huating’s remnant soul was nourishing her, though his Spiritual Sense warned him that something was wrong.
• Wang Jixuan met Zhou Zhengde, who reported that Kong Lianmei had controlled Scavenger Camp gangs and was connected to people who vanished and became Pseudo Spirit Slaves.
• Zhou Zhengde showed Wang Jixuan photographs of Ye Zi, young Kong Lianmei, and other nearly identical girls, and they considered whether Kong Lianmei was tied to the Spiritual Practitioner Civilization or the Blade Beasts.
• Wang Jixuan and Zhou Zhengde reviewed the six Spiritual Practitioners’ backgrounds and decided to ask Amina about the mysterious Sixth Practitioner.
• Wang Jixuan prepared a candlelit dinner for Ling Tong and reunited with her, while a mysterious girl at a Blade Beast research institute bathed in a bloodlike pool and tended a crystal resembling a golden core.
• The girl lovingly returned the crystal to the pool and murmured that her plan would soon be complete.
