Chapter Summaries

Chapter 340: Complete Form—Becoming a God

Key plot points and events

• Wei Zitong’s Void Engine begins automatically merging with the recovered Devourer Universe Simulator. He cannot stop the process unless he reaches authority level 10.
• The system explains that Wei can avoid Jilan’s fate of losing himself through universal assimilation by remaining within the Devourer Universe and sending out a clone. His true body has already merged with the universe and can no longer appear in the Main Material Plane.
• Wei learns the “simulator” is no longer merely a simulation: Hua Tong used it to reproduce the Devourer Universe in a distant universe 15,000 years earlier, but creating it caused Hua Tong himself to face assimilation.
• As the fusion proceeds, the engine overwrites Qiankun and reaches completion. Wei’s consciousness expands across the universe, allowing him to perceive its inhabitants and events. The Devourer Gods strip off their consciousness cores to create clones and pay homage to him.
• Wei discovers Lena is alive and arriving in the Devourer Universe with He Xi, Wei Sina, and others. Their group escaped void-affected regions and pursuers, including resurrected versions of Du Qiangwei, Ge Xiaolun, and Zhao Xin.
• He Xi senses a powerful presence watching the group and realizes the universe’s rules are abnormal. Wei withdraws his universal awareness before she can identify him, transferring his consciousness core into his clone at the Central Star Zone’s altar.
• Wei orders the kneeling Devouring God to rise, reads her thoughts, and tells her to manage the Central Star Zone before returning to sleep. He promises her continued existence rather than eternal slumber, depending on her performance, then disappears.

Character developments

• Wei Zitong accepts the transformation after initially resisting it, though he remains anxious about losing his humanity and ability to have children. He emerges as a godlike consciousness governing the Devourer Universe while retaining the ability to act through a clone.
• He Xi remains strategic and cautious, refusing Lena’s pleas to rescue their pursued comrades because doing so could expose the group to Carl. Her caution continues even after reaching the Devourer Universe.
• Lena shows renewed compassion for her former comrades and clashes with He Xi over leaving the pursued behind. She is alive, but the chapter reveals she is now a resurrected vessel shaped by hidden plans from Kaisha and He Xi.
• The Devouring God shifts from familiarity with Wei to fearful reverence, regretting that she gave him an important item and dreading the prospect of being forced to sleep indefinitely.

Significant themes

• Power and identity: Wei’s ascension grants near-omniscience but separates his true body from ordinary existence, raising questions about what remains of his former self.
• Sacrifice and responsibility: He Xi prioritizes the group’s mission over rescuing comrades, while Lena’s objections reflect the emotional cost of that choice.
• Control and consent: The engine’s irreversible fusion and Wei’s authority over the Devouring God echo the loss of autonomy that accompanies godlike power.
• Hope amid loss: Lena’s unexpected survival offers Wei a personal reason for hope amid his transformation.

Character interactions

• Wei bargains and questions the system, then finally tells it he will stop resisting the fusion.
• Lena and He Xi argue over whether to save their captured or pursued comrades; He Xi refuses, fearing the danger to everyone.
• He Xi’s suspicion nearly exposes Wei’s presence, prompting him to hide his awareness in a clone.
• Wei confronts the Devouring God with knowledge of her private thoughts, then balances his authority with a conditional promise not to condemn her to endless sleep.

Key plot points and events

• Wei Zitong returns to Angel City by teleporting himself, surprising the angels who notice he did not use the city’s teleporter.
• He reflects on his missing son, Tianyang, and suspects Carl may have taken him for use in a future attack.
• In private, Wei Zitong tells Yan that he has achieved a perfect ascension and now controls the universe’s rules. Yan fears he is no longer truly himself, but he reassures her that he remains himself in this clone and promises not to abandon it.
• Yan insists that she wants this version of Wei Zitong and forbids him from sacrificing the clone. They reconcile, though their intimate moment is cut short by news that He Xi’s party is waiting at the border.
• Wei Zitong learns that He Xi has become a fifth-generation god. Yan says she would welcome relief from the burden of ruling and hopes Kaisha can eventually return.
• Before going to meet He Xi, Wei Zitong takes the angel Xiao Xin along; she hilariously mistakes his invitation for a sexual proposition.
• At the border, He Xi’s party is surrounded by nervous Devourer fleets. A sudden spatial disturbance causes the crews to fire, but He Xi’s domain shields her group.
• Wei Zitong’s “absolute denial” breaks He Xi’s Mimic Heaven domain. He Xi, Lena, and Wei Sina recognize his voice and are relieved; the other angels fear that a hostile supreme power has appeared.

Character developments

• Wei Zitong reveals the scale of his new power but remains emotionally attached to his family and determined to protect them. His thoughts about Tianyang sharpen his resolve against Carl.
• Yan openly reveals her fear of losing Wei Zitong and insists that his current clone must not be sacrificed. She also shows growing willingness to relinquish the queen’s burden.
• He Xi demonstrates confidence and caution, protecting her group while testing the mysterious force that can affect her domain.
• Xiao Xin provides comic relief through her wildly mistaken assumptions.

Significant themes

• Power versus identity: Yan fears that mastering the universe’s rules may erase the person she loves.
• Love, attachment, and sacrifice: Wei Zitong’s promise to remain with Yan conflicts with the immense responsibilities and dangers surrounding him.
• Leadership and succession: Yan’s exhaustion and hope for Kaisha’s return suggest that ruling is a burden rather than a prize.
• Family and loss: Wei Zitong’s concern for Tianyang adds a personal motive to his coming confrontation with Carl.
• Trust amid uncertainty: The border incident shows how fear and incomplete information can turn a tense standoff into near violence.

Character interactions

• Wei Zitong and Yan move from an emotional confrontation to reassurance and renewed intimacy; Yan makes a firm demand that he preserve this clone.
• Wei Zitong teases Yan about Lena’s arrival, briefly rekindling her jealousy.
• Xiao Xin’s misunderstanding of Wei Zitong’s invitation leads to an awkward comic exchange before he clarifies that she is coming to welcome He Xi.
• He Xi’s group and the Devourer fleets face off uneasily; her shield prevents the crews’ panicked attack from causing harm.
• The familiar voice of Wei Zitong reassures He Xi, Lena, and Wei Sina, while unfamiliar angels interpret the shattered domain as a possible threat.

Chapter 342: Preparing for a Universe-Scale War

Key plot points and events

• Wei Zitong suddenly appears before He Xi and the Angels, startling them with his overwhelming power. Lena and Wei Sina joyfully reunite with him, and he brings everyone to Angel City.
• The Angel leadership discusses the worsening crisis in the Sea of Eternal Warfare. He Xi warns that Carl is preparing a final assault; even a Fifth-Generation God may not survive if Carl intervenes personally.
• Wei Zitong says he needs time to integrate the Devourer Universe’s power. He takes He Xi aside and shows her a stored message from Hua Tong, her lost love.
• Hua Tong’s message reveals that pursuing the universe’s deepest truths caused him to begin irreversibly merging with the universe. He chose not to erase Carl, despite foreseeing the danger, because changing the future might lead to even less predictable catastrophes. He also left the Defective Great Clock and the role of the universe’s Main God to a successor, and asked that He Xi be told he loved her above all else.
• He Xi breaks down upon learning Hua Tong’s fate. Wei Zitong returns to the meeting, where Yan has explained his altered identity to Lena. He admits he is still Zitong but no longer the original person, while insisting his feelings for Lena and Yan have not changed.
• With time short, Wei Zitong begins consolidating the Devourer Universe’s resources. He orders Devourers across all star zones to prepare for a universe-scale war and declares that the Angels will serve as his envoys. The Devourers accept his command.

Character developments and interactions

• Wei Zitong demonstrates authority over the Devourer Universe and begins acting as its central ruler. His changed nature troubles Lena, but he reassures her that his love remains unchanged.
• He Xi reunites with the Angels but is devastated by the revelation that Hua Tong’s consciousness has been—or will be—absorbed into the universe. Their shared memories and connection give her grief a deeply personal weight.
• Lena and Yan react differently to Wei Zitong’s transformation: Lena accepts it and playfully flirts with him, while Yan is jealous and disapproves of his behavior. Yan later tells Lena the truth about him.
• Hua Tong, through his final message, is shown as a truth-seeker who accepted the cost of his work while prioritizing the survival of his people. His love for He Xi remained central to him.

Significant themes

• The cost of knowledge: Exploring the universe’s ultimate truths can erase the boundary between a person and the cosmos.
• Love and loss: Hua Tong’s final words preserve his love for He Xi, even as his existence slips beyond her reach.
• Uncertainty and responsibility: Hua Tong refuses to alter the future by eliminating Carl because the unknown consequences might be worse.
• Identity and continuity: Wei Zitong’s changed self raises the question of whether someone remains the same when their nature has transformed.
• Unity against catastrophe: The chapter shifts from mourning toward collective preparation, with the Angels and Devourers organized for an imminent universe-scale war.

Key plot points and events

• Wei Zitong’s order triggers a sweeping reorganization of the Devourer Universe. Devouring Gods strip disobedient proxies of authority, install compliant replacements, and suppress rebellions. The Head of State executes thousands of former leaders once their protections are gone.
• The Head of State and Ates retain their positions because they were the first to submit. Ates becomes Wei Zitong’s representative, while her son Garon is appointed planetary governor.
• Angel City becomes the Devourer Gods’ temple. Since the gods have no names, Wei Zitong assigns temporary strength-based numbers; the Central Star Zone’s god is named No. 1, and the Ates Star Zone’s goddess is No. 2.
• The chapter reveals that veteran angel Anna has secretly remained in contact with Carl. Hoping to protect Kaisha, she agreed to reveal He Xi’s route in exchange for Carl’s promise not to target Kaisha during his coming assault.
• Wei Zitong confronts Anna, exposes her actions, and explains that He Xi likely anticipated the betrayal. Anna’s message will not save Kaisha and may instead prompt Carl to attack with greater force. Wei Zitong seals Anna’s powers and has her taken away.
• Yan asks whether their position has been exposed. Wei Zitong says it probably has, possibly by design: Carl may split his forces between the Sea of Eternal Warfare and their group rather than concentrating entirely on the former.
• At the universe’s edge, Du Qiangwei, Ge Xiaolun, and Zhao Xin arrive in phantom bodies but cannot enter. They trade insults and separate without fighting. Wei Zitong’s restriction bars phantom bodies—and “dogs”—from the universe.

Character developments and interactions

• Wei Zitong consolidates authority over the Devourer civilization, showing both administrative pragmatism and an ability to perceive inner thoughts. He is stern and unsympathetic toward Anna’s supposed sacrifice.
• Anna is revealed as a deeply loyal, battle-hardened angel whose devotion to Kaisha has overridden her judgment. Her past loyalty to Kaisha, resentment of Yan’s position, and emotional vulnerability make Carl’s manipulation effective. When Wei Zitong exposes the trap, she breaks down.
• Carl is shown as calculating and manipulative: he exploits Anna’s attachment to Kaisha to obtain intelligence and potentially provoke a larger conflict.
• Yan defers to Wei Zitong’s strategic judgment while questioning the consequences of Anna’s betrayal.
• Du Qiangwei, Ge Xiaolun, and Zhao Xin display mutual hostility, especially Ge Xiaolun’s resentment of Du Qiangwei, but their confrontation remains verbal.

Significant themes

• Power and political order: Divine authority is used to dismantle the old proxy system and impose a new hierarchy.
• Loyalty versus judgment: Anna’s devotion is genuine, but her attempt to protect Kaisha may endanger her instead.
• Manipulation and unintended consequences: Carl turns personal affection into a strategic weapon, while Anna’s actions risk strengthening the threat she hoped to avert.
• Civilizational fragility: Wei Zitong reflects that the angels’ single-gender society is vulnerable to catastrophic decline, despite its past power.

Plot points and events

• Du Qiangwei and her companions investigate a fleet from the Devourer Universe to assess its threat, especially whether it has widely deployed Plane Stabilizers that could neutralize the revivers’ usual advantages.
• Aboard a planet-class warship, Qiangwei finds that ordinary crews rely on powerful armor and ship weapons rather than superhuman abilities. She reaches the captain’s quarters but is detected by his mental translator.
• The captain reveals that he is an exiled former star lord’s son, sent with a fleet to earn redemption by capturing revivers. The ship’s crew has prepared a large-scale containment system specifically designed to suppress them.
• Trapped and unable to escape, Qiangwei attempts to self-detonate rather than be sealed. An unknown voice abruptly cancels the ability, and she wakes in a hospital, apparently restored to an earlier body and state.
• Qiangwei’s memories seem divided between her former life as a member of the Xiong Bing Lian and her current identity as one of Carl’s followers. Wei Zitong’s presence calms her and helps her regain control.
• After the others leave, Qiangwei secretly contacts Carl. She is revealed to be a planted personality: her mission is to remain close to Wei Zitong, pass as the same person as the primary Qiangwei, and avoid revealing her presence.

Character developments and interactions

• Qiangwei is resourceful and determined, but her attempted suicide shows the severity of the threat posed by the containment system. Her restored self appears to retain memories and feelings that complicate her role as Carl’s agent.
• The captain shifts from apparent captive to prepared adversary, using the ship’s specialized defenses to trap Qiangwei. He is motivated by redemption and wary of violating the rules governing his status.
• Wei Zitong comforts Qiangwei when her memories destabilize and promises to rescue the others still held by Carl. Their quiet exchange suggests trust and emotional closeness.
• Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin joke about Qiangwei and romance, but their banter also reveals that Carl’s alterations have erased important memories: Xiaolun forgets his family, and Zhao Xin forgets his wife, Zhixin.
• Carl directs Qiangwei’s infiltration and insists she suppress hostility and behave as though she is the primary personality.

Significant themes

• Adaptation and vulnerability: The revivers’ lack of flexibility becomes a serious weakness against enemies prepared to counter their abilities.
• Identity and divided memory: Qiangwei’s competing selves raise uncertainty about which personality is genuine and how memory shapes loyalty.
• Sacrifice and control: Revivers are ordered to self-destruct rather than be captured, while the enemy’s technology is designed to deny them that choice.
• The cost of restoration: Recovered bodies and altered memories spare characters some trauma but also erase relationships and parts of their lives.

Chapter summary

Plot and key events

• Wei Zitong, Yan, and He Xi discuss the revived agents in Angel City. Wei knows Du Qiangwei is compromised but deliberately leaves her in place so Carl will receive information that encourages him to send more of the Reviver Army into the Devourer Universe.
• Wei reveals his larger plan: he intends to move the entire Devourer Universe into their own universe, then use its strength to surprise Carl. He will still try to aid Kaisha, but if Carl does not take the bait, Wei may have to prioritize the survival of the Devourer civilization.
• Carl doubts the apparent weakness of the Devourer Universe and orders his other deep-cover agents to gather information. He also lifts the communication blockade around the Sea of Eternal Warfare and intensifies his attacks, hoping to draw Wei’s forces into the conflict.
• Kaisha contacts He Xi after the communication link between the two universes unexpectedly opens. She warns that Carl may be monitoring them, tells He Xi not to reveal Wei’s plan, and insists that Wei—not He Xi—make the strategic decision. Kaisha says the Sea of Eternal Warfare is deteriorating but that she can still escape alone; she cannot save all the survivors.
• Wei orders the Devourers to extract and consolidate resources at maximum speed. He Xi fears he may abandon Kaisha, but decides to support his judgment, recognizing that a full-scale war could let Carl replenish his army from their casualties.
• Carl reads Wei’s resource mobilization as a hint that the Devourers may flee. He deploys troops to intercept them and escalates the assault on the Sea of Eternal Warfare, testing how Wei will respond.
• Wei begins transferring organized forces toward the opposite edge of the Devourer Universe. The Reviver Army attacks the vanguard, inflicting enormous losses and converting the dead into new Revivers. Liu Chuang appears among the enemy and kills a Devouring God, demonstrating the danger of the attackers.
• Wei refuses to divert forces to rescue Liu Chuang, judging it harmful to the larger strategy. He calls the current fighting a chance for the Devourer army to gain experience, leaving Yan disturbed by his apparent acceptance of massive casualties.

Character developments and interactions

• Wei Zitong emerges as a calculating commander, balancing the rescue of Kaisha against the survival of an entire civilization. He deliberately feeds Carl misleadingly useful information and treats their moves as a strategic contest.
• He Xi struggles between her personal attachment to Kaisha and the need to make hard decisions. Kaisha’s blunt advice helps her recognize her tendency to let emotion influence major choices; she ultimately resolves to support Wei and accept possible blame.
• Kaisha remains clear-eyed and self-sacrificing. She warns He Xi against being manipulated, acknowledges the danger to the Sea of Eternal Warfare, and entrusts the decision to Wei.
• Carl is cautious and perceptive, recognizing that Wei’s apparent retreat may be a deliberate signal. Beneath his confidence, however, he feels an unexplained emptiness and longs to share his achievements with someone he can no longer remember.
• Yan supports Wei but becomes increasingly unsettled by his willingness to tolerate casualties and by the distance between his current strategic thinking and his earlier concern for individual lives.
• Wei, Yan, and He Xi also display personal tensions: Yan resents Wei’s recent attention to Lena, while He Xi’s former elder-like authority over Wei has weakened as he has become the dominant leader in the Devourer Universe.

Significant themes

• Strategy versus compassion: The leaders must weigh saving individuals against preserving civilizations and the possibility of winning the larger war.
• Manipulation and uncertainty: Both Wei and Carl use information, agents, and controlled signals to probe each other’s intentions; even Kaisha warns that communications may be monitored or falsified.
• The cost of leadership: Kaisha’s and He Xi’s discussion of emotional decision-making contrasts with Wei’s colder calculations and highlights how command can require painful sacrifice.
• Despair and survival: The Sea of Eternal Warfare’s refugees face not only military defeat but the erosion of their will to resist, while the Revivers’ ability to grow through enemy losses makes conventional warfare especially horrifying.
• Emptiness and purpose: Carl’s private longing for a forgotten person undermines his apparent triumph, suggesting that achieving his vision has not given him the fulfillment he expected.

Plot points and events

• At the edge of the Devourer Universe, a fresh enemy force replaces the first wave. The first wave was shattered by the Reviver Army’s horrific tactics, but Wei Zitong’s forces discover that Revivers’ numbers can grow only by spreading their energy thin: each one is now easier to defeat than before.
• Wei Zitong deliberately continues the costly fighting to study Carl’s methods and keep him guessing. He believes Carl has further strategies in reserve, and refuses to retreat unless there is no alternative.
• On a walk through Angel City, Wei Zitong and Lena share a rare quiet moment. Lena pledges to stand by him, then confesses her guilt over Tianyang and says Carl has restored him completely—just as he restored her. Wei Zitong is troubled by this but does not voice his suspicion.
• Carl learns that Lena has been exposed, but treats it as inevitable. He and Cheng Yaowen analyze the strategic situation: Wei Zitong will not risk a decisive battle in the Devourer Universe. His two real options are to retreat or return to the Known Universe with a large force to rescue Kaisha and attack Carl.
• Carl and Cheng Yaowen also debate Kaisha’s likely response. Carl believes she will not wait for rescue: she will launch an attack on his headquarters to give Wei Zitong the chance to act.
• At the Sea of Eternal Warfare, Kaisha prepares tens of thousands of female angels—most of them restored from the dead—for a final assault. She has protected them from being turned into Carl’s Revivers, and they answer her call to fight for justice.

Character developments and interactions

• Wei Zitong shifts from reacting to Carl’s surprise attack to conducting a deliberate strategic contest. His conversation with Lena reveals his longing for the simpler life they once had, as well as his determination to keep fighting for the people he has lost.
• Lena offers Wei Zitong intimate support, but her confession about Tianyang and her restoration by Carl leaves him uneasy. Their affection is grounded in shared history and trust, though her connection to Carl remains a source of concern.
• Carl sees the war as a calculated game and values Cheng Yaowen’s broad strategic thinking, while showing a fleeting personal sadness about intimacy and the person he once wished to have beside him. He understands Kaisha’s self-sacrificing nature better than Sno does.
• Cheng Yaowen identifies the two options facing Wei Zitong and recognizes that Kaisha’s actions will shape his decision. Sno, by contrast, struggles to grasp the larger strategy.
• Kaisha accepts the likelihood of her own death and prioritizes protecting her angels’ dignity and freedom over her survival.

Significant themes

• Strategy, uncertainty, and limited choices: Both sides try to predict the other, while recognizing that the decisive moves may come from a narrow set of options.
• Sacrifice and responsibility: Wei Zitong fights to honor the dead; Lena grieves over Tianyang; Kaisha prepares to risk herself and her army for justice.
• Identity and the cost of restoration: Revivers may be returned to life, but remain vulnerable to being controlled or used as weapons.
• Love amid war: Wei Zitong and Lena’s tender exchange briefly recalls their past, contrasting personal hopes with the burdens of leadership.

Plot and events

• Kaisha leads the angels in a sudden breakout from the Sea of Eternal Warfare, aiming not merely to escape but to attack Carl’s stronghold. She ignores pleas from the survivors, who had relied on her protection and hoped she would eventually rescue them.
• Her defiance inspires Xuan Tianji to rally the Blazing Sun descendants. More than ten survivor factions—including Saga and Earth descendants—join the charge, followed by the Asura. Although most survivors stay behind, over ten million fighters advance.
• Kaisha uses her fifth-generation suppression domain to break gaps in the reviver army’s blockade. The angels exploit the openings with coordinated attacks, and the combined survivor forces carve out a widening passage despite the revivers’ relentless reinforcements.
• Carl and Cheng Yaowen observe the assault. Carl says Kaisha has acted sooner than he expected and waits to see how the Devourer Universe responds.
• At the Devourer Universe’s border, the conflict escalates from tens of billions of revivers to a trillion when a new vanguard arrives. Wei Zitong’s reinforcements prevent the devourers from being wiped out, but the growing scale makes it impossible to treat the fighting as expendable.
• Yan and He Xi realize the Sacred Knowledge Treasury in the Sea of Eternal Warfare has begun moving toward the Styx Galaxy. Yan is distraught, fearing Kaisha is knowingly risking her life; He Xi urges her to trust that Kaisha will find a way to inform Wei Zitong.
• That information reaches Wei Zitong through Du Qiangwei, whose consciousness is controlled by her Carl-loyal persona. Wei reveals he had already anticipated her betrayal and uses the Great Clock Countermeasure to remove the hostile personality.
• Restored, Du Qiangwei has lost most of her memories and believes it is her birthday in 2012. Wei gives her a data packet containing the history of the intervening years; she is shocked to learn it is now 2158. Wei leaves her to process the truth as he prepares for the next wave of battle and a decision about Kaisha.

Character developments and interactions

• Kaisha shifts from defender to determined attacker, rejecting the survivors’ dependence and choosing a dangerous offensive. Her action forces others to decide whether they will fight or remain passive.
• Xuan Tianji steps into leadership, turning his followers’ admiration for the angels into a call for courage and legacy. His speech prompts the Blazing Sun descendants—and others—to join the breakout.
• Yan reveals how deeply she loves and depends on Kaisha, whose relationship with her feels more like mother and daughter than commander and disciple. He Xi tries to steady Yan with confidence in Kaisha and Wei Zitong.
• Wei Zitong remains composed when Du Qiangwei exposes herself, indicating he had long understood her role and had allowed the deception to continue for strategic reasons. His removal of her hostile persona restores her but costs her extensive memories.
• Du Qiangwei returns to an earlier, younger sense of self, briefly treating Wei as a playboy acquaintance before confronting the reality of the decades she has lost.

Significant themes

• Courage versus survival: Kaisha’s challenge exposes how fear has kept many survivors alive but unwilling to act; the charge gives them a chance to fight for something larger than escape.
• Legacy and sacrifice: Xuan Tianji frames the battle as a duty to preserve the Blazing Sun inheritance, while Kaisha appears willing to risk herself for a decisive blow.
• Leadership and responsibility: Kaisha’s choice inspires the survivors but also leaves Yan and Wei facing the consequences of her gamble.
• Memory and identity: Du Qiangwei’s restoration saves her from hostile control, yet the memories lost leave her with a fractured understanding of who she has become and how much history has passed.

Chapter summary

Key plot points

• Wei Zitong launches a massive offensive against the Revivers, using elite Devourer forces to draw the enemy into major battles and harvest the energy left by defeated Revivers. Though the losses alarm Yan and He Xi, he insists the troops have powerful equipment and a crucial role in his plan.
• At the Death Song Academy, Carl orders his reinforcements to press on rather than retreat. He and Cheng Yaowen recognize Wei Zitong’s tactics as a strategic gambit, but cannot yet identify his ultimate move.
• In the Sea of Eternal Warfare, Kaisha leads a breakout from the Reviver siege. Most survivors remain behind, panic, and are swiftly overrun. Those who surrender are executed and converted into Revivers.
• Kaisha’s breakout force suffers devastating losses: fewer than five million fighters survive, including fewer than ten thousand angels. Kaisha heads for the Styx Galaxy, while the other factions—unaware of her full plan—are left fearful and confused.
• Wei Zitong refuses to send more troops to the Devourer front. Instead, he orders the elite army to fight to the death, exploiting the Devourers’ ability to annihilate their own soldiers’ consciousnesses and absorb Reviver energy.
• Kaisha abandons the survivors and races ahead alone toward Carl. Carl realizes that his overconfidence may be the weakness Wei Zitong is exploiting, but by the time he orders Kaisha intercepted, she has already used high-dimensional travel.
• With the moment finally right, Wei Zitong links his consciousness to the Devourers, their forces, and the entire Devourer Universe. He activates Space-Time Transfer: the universe rapidly shrinks and vanishes, taking its forces with it. Liu Chuang is left behind and swallowed by an unknown vortex.

Character developments and interactions

• Wei Zitong reveals himself as a ruthless but calculating strategist. He accepts immense casualties to bait Carl, gather energy, and conceal his true objective. He reassures Yan and He Xi about Kaisha but keeps his plan secret.
• Yan and He Xi initially challenge Wei Zitong’s willingness to sacrifice so many lives, then recognize that they must not let personal distress interfere with strategic decisions. They remain anxious about Kaisha and uncertain about Wei Zitong’s intentions.
• Kaisha demonstrates resolve and independence, leading a nearly hopeless breakout and then continuing toward Carl alone. Her decision to abandon the remaining survivors provokes their anger and fear, but the angels remain loyal under Zhixin.
• Carl remains confident and dismissive of Kaisha, seeing Wei Zitong as his only worthy opponent. When events stop matching his expectations, he begins to suspect that his own confidence has been used against him.
• Cheng Yaowen supports Carl and interprets Wei Zitong’s actions as a deliberate strategic game. His memories of his former comrades remain, but his allegiance and reverence now lie with Carl.
• The survivors lose faith after Kaisha leaves, collapsing into panic and surrender. The Reviver commander exploits their submission only to order their massacre and conversion.

Significant themes

• Strategy versus compassion: Wei Zitong’s willingness to sacrifice enormous forces raises questions about the cost of large-scale victory.
• Confidence as a vulnerability: Carl’s certainty that he controls events becomes the opening Wei Zitong needs.
• Loyalty, identity, and betrayal: Cheng Yaowen’s changed allegiance and the survivors’ abandonment contrast with the angels’ loyalty to Kaisha.
• Despair and coercion: The survivors’ surrender offers no safety; the Revivers turn their fear into a means of extermination.
• Transformation and scale: Wei Zitong’s final act shifts the conflict from conventional warfare to control over space, time, and an entire universe.

Chapter 349: Return to the Super God Universe

Key plot points and events

• Carl confronts Queen Kaisha outside the Academy of Death Songs, using the Great Clock and a huge force of enhanced revivers to fight her. Kaisha’s Holy Domain is weakened by the Clock, while the revivers’ attacks are specially designed to harm angels.
• Kaisha unleashes a powerful defensive state and destroys or disables hundreds of revivers, but Carl eventually freezes time and space. Kaisha reveals she has anticipated this tactic and breaks free; their clash gives her enough of an opening for events elsewhere to shift.
• As Zhixin’s angels and nearly five million survivors face a tense standoff, the Devourer Army suddenly arrives with an enormous fleet. The planes are restored, allowing dark-energy use, quantum communication, and space travel again. The Devourers rapidly overwhelm the revivers and surround the survivors.
• The angels move to protect Earth’s forces. Wei Laoqi and Guo Yaozu recognize the newcomers as the Devourer Army and understand that Wei Zitong has brought an entire universe into the Known Universe.
• Zhao Xin reunites with Zhixin, while Ge Xiaolun watches unhappily and notices Du Qiangwei’s indifference toward him.
• Back in the Styx Galaxy, Carl finds himself surrounded by the Devourer fleet. He calmly acknowledges Wei Zitong as a formidable rival and invites him to join his research into the universe’s truth. Wei Zitong refuses, saying their paths are incompatible.

Character developments and interactions

• Kaisha demonstrates both immense power and adaptability. She withstands Carl’s angel-targeting weapons, anticipates his time-stop strategy, and turns his confidence against him.
• Carl remains composed and intellectually arrogant. He admires Wei Zitong’s scientific and political abilities, but also tries to recruit him as a fellow seeker of truth.
• Wei Zitong arrives as a decisive force, restoring the planes and changing the battle’s balance. Despite Carl’s praise and invitation, he stays committed to his own path.
• Zhixin and Zhao Xin reunite affectionately, offering a personal moment amid the military upheaval. Ge Xiaolun feels awkward and lonely as Du Qiangwei remains emotionally distant.
• Wei Laoqi and Guo Yaozu provide a grounded perspective on the crisis: they assess the threat, restrain their forces, and recognize the Devourers’ scale and capabilities.

Significant themes

• Adaptation and countermeasures: Kaisha and Carl each anticipate the other’s methods, showing that power alone is not enough; preparation and knowledge matter.
• The cost of conflict: The confrontation puts angels, survivors, and entire armies at risk, while the revivers are treated as expendable weapons.
• Different paths toward truth: Carl believes all paths ultimately lead to the same truth, while Wei Zitong rejects cooperation when their principles differ.
• Unity in crisis: The Devourers’ arrival and the angels’ protection of Earth’s troops briefly override factional suspicion in the face of a greater threat.

Chapter Summary: “Denying the Void” (Finale)

Key plot points and events

• Wei Zitong rejects Carl’s invitation to cooperate, angrily condemning him for destroying the Known Universe. Carl admits he will use any means necessary to get the results he wants and reveals that Wei Tianyang’s fate depends on Zitong’s decision.
• Zitong attacks Carl, who appears outmatched: the Devourer Civilization’s collective power overwhelms the Great Clock. Carl’s apparent weakness is deliberate, however. He has lured the entire Devourer Universe into the Known Universe, then sacrifices the Reviver Army to restore the Great Clock’s energy.
• Carl’s larger trap activates. He releases the true Void into the Known Universe, forcing Zitong to choose between pursuing Carl and resisting the Void’s erosion of his universe and people. At the same time, Carl kills Wei Tianyang before the others, provoking Zitong into a furious assault.
• Carl’s plan begins to turn against him when Kaisha, He Xi, Yan, Lena, Wei Sina, and the survivors confront him. They fight using their domains and powers, but Carl has copied and upgraded the Xiong Bing Lian’s abilities, making him a dangerous opponent even after losing the Great Clock’s protection.
• Zitong’s struggle against the Void causes a destructive negative personality to take control of the Devourer Universe. It turns the fleets toward the Void and embraces destruction for its own sake. Prayers and calls of support from the Devourer people, Angels, and survivors help Zitong regain awareness.
• The negative personality kills Yan, but Lena and the others insist that kindness—not cruelty—is the true nature of Zitong. Zitong confronts his dark self and chooses to merge with it rather than deny it, accepting that both sides are part of him.
• Hua Tong appears and gives Zitong the Great Clock. The positive and negative Great Clocks merge, briefly elevating Zitong to the scale of the macro-universe. He uses that power to negate the Void and end its advance, though he disappears afterward.
• A century later, Yan awakens after being restored. Zitong is missing, and even Carl cannot explain where he went. Yan is devastated by his absence.
• The final scene follows a consciousness with no memories being born as a human child. His parents name him Hua Tong, suggesting a new life or reincarnation.

Character developments

• Wei Zitong moves from anger and grief to accepting the destructive side within himself. Rather than simply suppressing it, he joins with it and uses the combined power to save the universe.
• Carl remains committed to his ideal of pursuing universal truth, even through mass destruction. His confidence collapses when the people he dismissed stand together against him. He survives long enough to restore Yan, but is left aged and isolated.
• Lena becomes the emotional voice of the chapter, insisting that Zitong is more than his capacity for evil and helping rally others to call him back.
• Yan is killed by the negative personality and later restored, but awakens to find Zitong gone.
• Hua Tong gives up the Great Clock and fades away, appearing to entrust Zitong with his role and responsibility.

Significant themes

• Good and evil within the self: Zitong’s crisis presents evil as a real part of every person, but not the whole of who they are. His solution is integration and responsibility, not denial.
• Destruction versus protection: Carl destroys in pursuit of an imagined better future; the negative personality destroys purely for pleasure. Zitong’s defining choice is to protect others despite the cost.
• Trust, community, and hope: Carl’s promises mean nothing to Zitong, while the prayers and support of countless people help restore Zitong’s will. Collective faith becomes a source of strength.
• Sacrifice and uncertain renewal: Zitong saves the universe at the cost of disappearing, while Hua Tong’s apparent rebirth closes the story on a note of possible continuation.

Character interactions

• Zitong and Carl’s exchanges shift from verbal confrontation to a battle of competing worldviews: cooperation and “truth” versus accountability and protection.
• Lena, Wei Sina, Kaisha, and the others support Zitong while opposing Carl; their appeals also help Zitong resist his destructive personality.
• Kaisha, He Xi, Yan, Lena, and Wei Sina coordinate their attacks against Carl, while Carl uses copied abilities to counter them.
• The Devourer people, Angels, and survivors collectively pray for Zitong, restoring his connection to them.
• At the end, Yan seeks Zitong through Carl, while the final birth scene links the unresolved loss to the possible return of Hua Tong.

Key points and events

• The author reflects on completing their first contracted, serialized novel. They considered ending or abandoning it, but chose to finish it properly, despite struggling to reconnect the sprawling plot and resolve loose ends.
• After a three-month hiatus caused by uncertainty and declining readership, the author resumed writing—partly spurred by very low royalties—and spent roughly six weeks steering the main story toward its conclusion.
• The author acknowledges the novel’s weakening performance: it began with about 75 initial subscribers, peaked at 757, and ended with roughly 287 average subscriptions and 36 follow-up subscriptions.
• The author introduces a forthcoming original science-fiction novel, planned for around the 20th or the first of the following month. Set roughly 300 years in the future, it centers on humanity’s discovery of an alien ship at the Chicxulub crater. Its technology and a dangerous “Super Gene” transform human society, while gene-induced loss of control creates superpowered monsters and disasters.
• The author outlines a detailed classification system for superpowers, including ranged energy types, radio-wave users, shadow abilities, fire and temperature control, ice powers, strength, and magnetic or gravity fields. Each type has defined strengths, weaknesses, and ultimate abilities.

Character and author development

• The author describes growing from an inexperienced, stubborn newcomer into someone more determined to see a difficult project through. They admit that avoiding readers and reacting harshly to criticism—including muting and deleting comments—were mistakes.
• In discussing the new book, the author clarifies a creative preference for internally consistent worlds without intrusive devices such as systems, reincarnation, or sign-in powers. The new protagonist will be a native of the setting, with abilities rooted in its existing world.

Themes

• Persistence and completion: Finishing a flawed work is presented as more meaningful than rushing or abandoning it.
• Creative struggle and accountability: The author candidly connects plot drift, writer’s block, declining readership, and poor handling of criticism.
• Worldbuilding and originality: The planned novel prioritizes a coherent setting and powers that arise naturally from that world.
• Power’s danger and cost: Super Genes offer extraordinary abilities but can develop rudimentary self-awareness and drive users out of control; many ultimate skills also trade stamina, defense, or other attributes for strength.

Interactions

• The author’s relationship with readers was strained by falling subscriptions and angry exchanges over the protagonist’s behavior. The author now recognizes that some muted commenters may have been unfairly silenced.
• The author thanks readers implicitly by inviting questions and feedback on the new setting, and closes by encouraging them to meet again in the upcoming book.

This passage is a promotional announcement for the author’s new book, Superpower: Honkai Has Been Released. The author admits publishing it earlier than planned because they missed writing, then asks readers to bookmark, recommend, vote for, invest in, and comment on the book. They clarify that it is unrelated to the Honkai games or anime; the title was chosen because another work had already taken the intended title. The passage ends with a note that the book is being entered manually and may take a moment to appear.
