Over several decades, the Great Continents thickened their planet’s atmosphere, lost their faith after studying the moon, and plunged into a worldwide nuclear war. As students and officials sought advice from the reclusive household, the housekeeper warned that nuclear shelters would not be enough because a world-ending Great Flood was coming.

• The Great Continents launched the Moonlit Language Atmosphere Project, making the planet’s vacuum environment more suitable for life and ushering in the Planetary Gasification Era.
• After the Moon Diviners exhausted their knowledge of the moon, faith declined, conflicts escalated, and the First World War began.

• Students, professors, and officials came to the household for advice, and the housekeeper told them to build underground arks or flee to high ground because the master had predicted a Great Flood.

After the Great Flood transformed the planet into an ocean world, civilization revived amid radiation, and its people began a moon landing program. As beings across the solar system prepared to defend the moon, Xu Zhi set off for the sun, leaving Yuan Qinghua behind.

Xu Zhi traveled through the Ixdar civilization and decided to place Phoenix in the sun so she could pursue her painstaking path to the ninth order. He then returned to Earth, where he prepared to give Earthlings the Blood of Eternal Life and begin a traversal between Earth and the giant world.

• Xu Zhi explored the Ixdar civilization and considered how Earthlings might survive on its transformed planet.
• Xu Zhi carried a Table Lamp to the sun and left it there as a place for Phoenix to cultivate and pursue the ninth order.
• Xu Zhi concluded that immortality would be the unique bloodline of the Solar System civilization, beyond the shared qi and radiation bloodlines.
• Xu Zhi returned to Earth and entered Capital Tumor Hospital in the appearance of his former cancer-patient self.
• Xu Zhi selected a young man from twenty-first-century Earth and prepared to begin a traversal that would bring the Blood of Eternal Life to Earthlings.

Xu Zhi returned to Capital City Tumor Hospital and revisited the patients and staff he had known during his treatment. After speaking with Old Li, he searched the wards and selected candidates for the transcendent world, favoring experienced people over young ones.

• Xu Zhi met Nurse Zhang, who told him that only Old Li remained from his former ward.
• Old Li told Xu Zhi how the other patients had died, left for home, or returned for treatment, then rambled about his past and his charitable work.
• Xu Zhi listened to Old Li and the other patients before leaving the ward.
• Xu Zhi searched the hospital and chose candidates, generally excluding young people unless they had extraordinary talent.

As Li Li lay dying, Xu Zhi offered him a new life in exchange for enduring the pain of an implanted Zerg bloodline, and Li Li survived. He awoke in Ji Shang’s tomb, where he searched for a way to survive the irradiated world and approached the main burial chamber, unsure whether Ji Shang was still alive.

• Li Li suffered cardiac arrest, feared death, and accepted Xu Zhi’s offer to live at any cost except his dignity.

• Li Li awoke in Ji Shang’s tomb and recognized its murals and the world’s ancient cosmic conflict from online accounts.
• Li Li assessed the tomb’s safe air and the dangerous radiation outside, then explored its chambers for food and a way to survive.
• Li Li discovered thousands of people frozen as Terracotta Army soldiers and headed to the main burial chamber, wondering whether Ji Shang remained alive.

Li Li became trapped in Ji Shang’s tomb and survived by cultivating through the energy in the frozen soldiers’ blood. When his blood revived and rejuvenated a soldier, he realized that Earthlings might possess a power with ancient mythic implications.

• Li Li entered Ji Shang’s main tomb, found no inner traps, and secured the coffin beneath heavy stones before sheltering in a sealed space.
• Li Li struggled through four months of hunger, cold, radiation sickness, and dwindling oxygen while attempting to learn fire-making and cultivate the soul path.
• Li Li concluded that Ji Shang and his Second-Order soldiers had entered suspended death, then began absorbing energy from soldiers he believed were dead.
• Li Li hesitated when a thawed soldier briefly awakened, but after the soldier’s heart stopped, he bit the man’s neck and absorbed his blood and energy.
• The soldier convulsed and grew younger after Li Li’s blood entered his body, leading Li Li to suspect that Earthlings’ blood carried a powerful, ancient property.

Li Li discovered that his blood could revive frozen soldiers through a dangerous, zombie-like genetic fusion, then spent months experimenting in the tomb and concluded that his spreading cancer cells required him to grow stronger. With food gone, he opened the Eternal Emperor’s coffin, and the frozen man inside suddenly attacked him.

• Li Li watched the old soldier he had bitten transform, then reasoned that zombies and vampires might be ancient bloodlines linked to immortal cancer cells and radiation.
• The revived soldier attacked Li Li and replenished his strength by biting a Terracotta Army soldier, but Li Li fought back and killed him with an axe.
• Li Li decided to experiment on the frozen soldiers, and over half a year he tested blood fusions until he produced a partially intelligent zombie from a Third-Order general.
• Li Li concluded that fusion depended on luck and the subject’s traits, while his own spreading cancer cells threatened to overwhelm his First-Order body unless he reached the Seventh-Order.
• With no food left, Li Li opened the King's Coffin, and the frozen Eternal Emperor burst out and grabbed him.

Li Li used a fabricated origin story to persuade Ji Shang that he might be the prophesied savior and to keep him from killing him. After Ji Shang agreed to receive God Blood, Li Li learned that the emperor was trapped in the tomb too and admitted that his story was a lie.

• Ji Shang seized Li Li, questioned him about his strange blood and sudden appearance, then threw him aside and discovered that the Terracotta Army had been killed while Wei Ying had gone mad.
• Li Li used drawings to tell Ji Shang a story about Moon God Ji, a human-god hybrid, a prophecy, and a teleporting old man, presenting Ji Shang as the chosen savior.
• Ji Shang doubted Li Li’s account but studied the dim-witted zombie and began learning to communicate with Li Li.
• Ji Shang asked Li Li to bite him so he could test whether God Blood granted immortality, explaining that he could not leave the tomb because he feared his descendants had sealed it off.
• Li Li realized Ji Shang was trapped in the tomb as well and confessed that the story he had told was entirely false.

Li Li and Ji Shang adapted to the Blood of Eternal Life, escaped the tomb, and emerged into a modern world where radiation hurt them and reports of revived divine beasts unsettled them. They left the crowds to investigate a world that seemed to be undergoing a spiritual revival.

• Li Li confessed that he had invented the Eternal Life Dynasty, and he and Ji Shang agreed to cooperate despite their past conflict.
• Ji Shang survived gene fusion, but the eternal life bloodline replaced his radiation bloodline and damaged his internal qi cycles, leaving him dependent on blood until he grew stronger.
• Li Li and Ji Shang adapted to their bloodlines, then escaped the tomb through a hidden passage and carefully bypassed traps set outside.
• They reached the surface, where sunlight and radiation injured them, so they wrapped themselves in layers and found a modern tourist town.
• Li Li and Ji Shang saw Moon's Descent Stone jewelry that made them uneasy, then read reports of revived divine beasts and wondered whether spiritual energy was returning.

Li Li kept his distance from the players while preparing to build power in the modern world, where he suspected a coming spiritual energy revival was tied to their plans and an approaching moon landing. His scheme to raise money through Ji Shang’s fake First Emperor text messages succeeded, and Xu Zhi began considering how immortal beings might shape a new cultivation system.

• Li Li examined reports of an upcoming lunar satellite launch and suspected the players were preparing to reveal Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin and trigger a spiritual energy revival.
• Li Li and Ji Shang hid in a hotel, searched for information, and decided to develop their strength and acquire money rather than approach the players.

• Xu Zhi recognized Li Li’s plan as an effective way to gain influence and considered using the opportunity to develop the Blood of Eternal Life bloodline and a system for immortal beings.

• As his life faded, Yuan Qinghua mourned that he could no longer protect his homeland, leaving people across the world grieving and fearing for humanity.

The Great Continents prepared to fight an extraterrestrial civilization on the moon, and their hidden space forces clashed with the Element Lifeforms. Yuan Qinghua collected cells from the creatures, leading players to suspect they were related to the Great Octopus’s species, while the Great Octopus remained unsure.

• The Great Continents’ leaders concluded that the extraterrestrials sought the moon’s far-side inheritance and chose to fight rather than retreat.

• Players recognized that the cells resembled the Great Octopus’s cellular structure and brought him the images.
• The Great Octopus wondered whether the Element Lifeforms were ancient relatives, and players urged him to cultivate until he could find them.

Great Octopus accepted that the mysterious creatures in the cosmic war might be its powerful ancestors, while Yuan Qinghua watched the technological and extraordinary forces battle over the Moon. As Mechanical Armor suffered heavy losses, the planet’s nations deployed a secret Sun Descent Weapon: a gigantic glass mirror assembled in orbit to focus sunlight on the battlefield.

• Great Octopus’s companions told it that the powerful creatures on other planets could be its ancestors, and Great Octopus eagerly agreed to return to its ancestral clan.
• Yuan Qinghua concluded that the cosmic war pitted technological mass production against extraordinary creatures and decided to watch from the sidelines.
