Chapter Summaries

Tang Na hid the newborn Saimaren, who rapidly cultivated into a Seventh-Order Heavenly Emperor and began breaking through to godhood as the planet mobilized against him. Xu Zhi observed the crisis, curious to see how the descendant of a Ninth-Order being would fare against the technological civilization.

• Tang Na learned that enemies were approaching, and the Saimaren baby transformed into a Seventh-Order Heavenly Emperor after consuming the household’s stored food and medicine.
• The Saimaren fused into Tang Na’s body to hide from a passing Clone God and warned that advanced technology would soon begin a search.
• The Saimaren rapidly mastered ki and inherited techniques, then decided to break through to godhood despite the risk of detection.
• The Saimaren’s breakthrough aura shook the planet, alarming its leaders, corporations, and the two generals at the Martial Hall.
• The two generals resolved to protect the Saimaren, while Xu Zhi watched and considered the encounter a test of the civilization’s combat strength.

Tang Na defeated five god-level combatants, survived a nuclear bomb, and forced the Technology Side to escalate its response. As the planet prepared to fire its Space Orbital Cannon, Xu Zhi, Medusa, and a disguised Great Octopus watched from outside the universe.

• Tang Na broke free from two Clone Gods and three Mechanical Armors, then destroyed all five by shattering their Divine Sense.
• The planet's leaders sent a nuclear bomb against Tang Na, but she survived it without a scratch and charged energy for a Kamehameha.
• Tang Na vanished as the leaders debated using law weapons, and the planet's people panicked over the arrival of a descendant of an ancient cosmic race.
• The leaders ordered the Space Orbital Cannon activated to protect their civilization's prestige, and Xu Zhi decided to study the Technology Side's law-twisting weapons.
• Medusa and a disguised Great Octopus quietly appeared outside the universe, prompting Xu Zhi to wonder why so many observers had gathered.

Thirteenth Prince Mi E Qi’s advanced spacecraft fired a capture weapon that severed Tang Na’s arm and revealed the Tier Empire’s method of preserving gods for experiments. As the empire celebrated its technological superiority and fired again, the Super Saiyama Person summoned Pillar God Dark Tathagata.

• Xu Zhi reflected that Di Qi had inspired later civilizations to learn from and adapt to each era’s advances.
• Thirteenth Prince Mi E Qi ordered the black disc-shaped spacecraft to fire its orbital cannon at the Super Saiyama Person merged with Tang Na.
• The cannon severed Tang Na’s arm and preserved it inside a spatial field, prompting the Super Saiyama Person to realize the empire intended to capture gods alive.
• Mi E Qi and the Tier Empire’s citizens celebrated their capture technology while the Third Prince proclaimed the empire’s superiority on television.
• As a second cannon fired, the Super Saiyama Person called for Pillar God Dark Tathagata to descend.

The Super Saiyama People's radioactive virus began mutating the Thirteenth Prince's civilization as it evolved in High-Dimensional Space-Time. The researchers warned that a ninth-rank cosmic being was gestating within the virus, and Mi E Qi learned that the Western Heaven Tathagata Pillar God might be pursuing it to their planet.

• The players revealed that they had given one of the three babies a virus, hoping its spread might create a new Fate Pillar God they could control.
• The Super Saiyama People evaded the Space Orbital Cannon by jumping through space, while his golden radiation infected people nearby and turned them into zombies.
• Mi E Qi ordered the region sealed, and the civilization's weapons initially contained the ordinary infected.
• The virus rapidly evolved until zombies resisted firearms, while scientists entered High-Dimensional Space-Time to analyze it.
• Researchers reported that the virus was gathering and twisting laws to gestate a ninth-rank Cosmic Dao Attainer, possibly the Tathagata Pillar God.
• The informant warned Mi E Qi that the Western Heaven Tathagata Pillar God had followed the fetus and that their entire planet could be destroyed if they did not control it.

Mi E Qi sealed off Fuli Jiasi Continent with Space Orbital Cannons after a rapidly evolving virus threatened the empire, and the imperial leadership accepted the sacrifice of billions as a containment measure. As the virus mutated into increasingly bizarre forms, the empire watched the quarantined continent as a potential testing ground, uncertain whether the infected could evolve into a new intelligence or escape.

• Mi E Qi ordered the empire to stop pursuing the infant and use Space Orbital Cannons to isolate Fuli Jiasi Continent after learning the infection threatened the whole civilization.
• Mi E Qi informed Di Er Your Majesty and the other princes and princesses, who condemned his secrecy but agreed that sealing off the continent had been the best choice.
• Soldiers on Fuli Jiasi Continent initially dismissed the infected, but successive mutations made them faster and tougher, overwhelmed their weapons, and cut off communications.
• Two Martial Hall generals escaped through the chaos while the empire’s leaders observed the isolated continent and discussed studying the virus and the cosmic beings linked to it.
• The virus mutated dozens of times, infected animals and plants, and combined traits from different species as imperial observers speculated that it might be forming three law-based organisms.
• The imperial leaders feared the evolving infected might regain intelligence or break through the spatial-turbulence barrier around the continent.

The Empire Meeting concluded that the zombie virus would escape Fuli Jiasi Continent’s Space Orbital Cannon blockade and destroy the Empire unless the continent was eradicated. With subspace districts shielding infected people from the planned bombardment, Di Er Your Majesty broadcast a desperate demand that residents destroy their shelters and come into real space to die for civilization.

• The Minister of Armaments warned that divine offspring could mature rapidly and break through the Space Orbital Cannon blockade within days.
• Peter Hughes presented the Military Staff Headquarters’ analysis that the virus could destroy the Empire within three days without containment, while the current blockade would delay its escape by only four days.
• Di Er Your Majesty ordered the Empire’s seven orbital cannons to seal Fuli Jiasi Continent so a Planet-Destroying Cannon could eradicate the virus without destroying the rest of the planet.
• The Empire’s leaders learned that subspace districts could withstand the bombardment and that refugees and zombies were already entering them, leaving the eradication plan without a complete solution.
• Di Er Your Majesty broadcast a plea ordering residents to destroy their subspace shelters, enter real space, and die in the bombardment for the Empire.

As the virus devastated Fuli Jiasi Continent, the Empire prepared to bombard the land and destroy every surviving Subspace Zone. Peter Hughes volunteered to negotiate with the hostile gods of Bird Planet, while Di Er Your Majesty also considered plans to preserve civilization if the extermination effort failed.

• People across Fuli Jiasi Continent panicked as the virus spread, and some sought shelter in wealthy residents’ Inner Spaces while others chose to save outsiders.
• Peter Hughes told Di Er Your Majesty that the Empire would bombard the continent, send robots and Clone Gods to destroy remaining Subspace Zones, and then bombard it again.
• The Advisory Group warned that local military-industrial conglomerates would resist and recommended asking Bird Planet’s gods to help clear the Subspace Zones.
• Peter Hughes put on his diplomatic uniform and volunteered to negotiate with Bird Planet, accepting the danger because he believed he must set an example for civilization.
• Di Er Your Majesty considered sending the Empire’s geniuses and royals to Rennimansga Garden to seek help, and also prepared the Wandering Planet Project as a fallback.

Xu Zhi, Medusa, and Caroline observed the Three Pillar Gods Virus devastate Fuli Jiasi Continent, while Medusa mistook the outbreak for an unknown cosmic threat. After the Empire’s massive strike, survivors emerged from Subspace Zones, only for a survivor to become infected while using a phone near an 8G signal Base Station.

• Xu Zhi observed the conflicts across Fuli Jiasi Continent and recognized the Three Pillar Gods Virus as a terrifying invasion.
• Medusa feared the virus might threaten the Cosmos Garden, while Caroline recognized the new Three Pillar Gods as a destiny-race formed from the Great Antlered Deer People and indigenous peoples.
• A massive warhead struck the continent, and the resulting explosion wiped out much of its population and left the surface buried in dust and debris.
• Survivors emerged from Subspace Zones in anti-radiation suits and began restoring communications between survivor camps and corporate production zones.
• Bi De suddenly turned violent while testing a call, and survivors suspected the 8G signal Base Station had transmitted the virus, though others dismissed the idea.

The virus devastated the continent, evolving new ways to spread and forcing survivors to abandon electronic communication and mobilize for war. As the Saimaren watched over the infected Tang Na, she underwent a strange transformation, regained her sanity, and revealed a mysterious crystal inside her skull.

• The virus spread through Signal Towers and Base Stations, infecting people and turning them into antlered zombies.
• An Advisory Group described how the virus had evolved from biting to poisonous phlegm and radiation, and recommended halting Base Station construction and abandoning electronic communication.

• In a ruined Subspace Zone, the Saimaren told Tang Na that the outside world and her mother had fallen after she became infected.
• Tang Na underwent a dramatic evolution, regained her sanity, and the Saimaren opened her skull to discover a rhombus-shaped black crystal in her brain.

Tang Na survived her transformation into an intelligent humanoid zombie and learned that the New Pillar Gods faced a devastating threat from the Machine Pillar God. As Medusa recruited the dying Plant-Type Pillar God, a human squad entered an eerily silent factory and found heaps of dead zombies.

• Tang Na discovered that her corpse had become an intelligent higher lifeform, while the Saimaren infant realized she had joined the New Pillar God's body.
• The Humanoid Pillar God explained that it controlled intelligent humanoid zombies and warned that the Machine Pillar God could destroy their civilization within a week and become a cosmic catastrophe within months.

• The Exploration Team found a military assembly line that had grown legs and begun producing smaller factory zombies.
• A steel-reinforced net attacked the team, but Gusla pierced the mechanical factory and took the survivors with him.
• Mansha examined the factory zombie and identified iron cells: metallic structures transformed into special cells, creating a half-flesh, half-machine life-form.
• Mansha explained that the mutation may have involved radiation, virus, and particulate cells from a Dao Attainer infant affected by the Planet-Destroying Cannon.
• Gusla told the team that he and his companions had already seen a strange humanoid creature drinking tea and eating fruit while dissecting something near a spirit-tea mechanical factory.

Xu Zhi discovered that the Planet-Destroying Cannon’s explosion had helped the Pillar God Virus create a reproductive iron-based lifeform, and he confronted the gods and mechanical survivors who had been watching him. The new Pillar God appeared before him and asked whether he was Rennimansga, the master of the Cosmos Garden.

• Mansha and the Gusla Swordsman warned the Exploration Team that the mechanical forces might be infected and had been sent to destroy survivors and their Subspace Zone.
• The Gusla Swordsman revealed that he had brought Mansha to meet the newborn infant of a Cosmic Dao Attainer, then sent the Exploration Team to investigate Xu Zhi’s factory.
• Xu Zhi concluded that the Planet-Destroying Cannon’s explosion had fused Whole Clan Cell, steel, and the Pillar God Virus into a reproducing iron-based lifeform.
• A mechanical squad confronted Xu Zhi, and he demanded that the hidden observer reveal itself.
• The Pillar God gathered into a hazy child-shaped figure, asked Xu Zhi who he was, and named Rennimansga as a possible identity.

Xu Zhi, identified as the ancient being Rennimansga, met the Machine Pillar God and learned that it had traced its iron-based lifeform structure to cells from his body. The Machine Pillar God claimed its kind were Rennimansga’s descendants, leaving Xu Zhi to acknowledge that his ancient secret had finally been uncovered.

• The Machine Pillar God asked Xu Zhi whether he was Rennimansga, and Xu Zhi accepted the name.
• Gusla and the others recoiled in terror at Rennimansga’s ancient reputation, while the Machine Pillar God asked whether Xu Zhi would destroy them.
• The Machine Pillar God cited ancient records portraying Rennimansga as a collector of civilizations and argued that Xu Zhi would spare his descendants.
• The Machine Pillar God revealed that a meteorite-like fragment found on Fuli Jiasi Continent was a flake of Rennimansga’s iron-based body and that such cells helped create its own mechanical structure.
• The Machine Pillar God declared its kind to be Rennimansga’s descendants, and Xu Zhi sighed that his secret had been discovered after more than a hundred thousand years.

After Rennimansga allowed Gusla Swordsman and his group to enter the Cosmos Garden, they discovered that the trial grounds were covered by High-Dimensional Space-Time and infected with a Plant-Type Virus. Gusla realized the virus would force him to remain in High-Dimensional Space-Time, where his damaged body would survive no more than seven days.

• The Machine Pillar God explained that its kind was a new race of Iron-Based Lifeforms, and Rennimansga said he would not interfere with its survival.
• Gusla asked Rennimansga to let his group enter the outer sect selection, and Rennimansga opened a spatial passage for them.
• The Machine Pillar God regretted letting Gusla escape and believed it might be able to defeat Rennimansga in three months.
• Gusla led Mansha and the mechanical squad into the Cosmos Garden, where they found its plants and animals were all in tenfold High-Dimensional Space-Time.
• A voice revealed that a Plant-Type Virus had been brought into the garden as part of the trial, and Gusla realized he would die within seven days if he stayed in High-Dimensional Space-Time.

Gusla warned Mansha that he could protect her for only seven days in High-Dimensional Space-Time, while Xu Zhi realized Rennimansga’s Machine Pillar God had created a new foundation for Iron-Based Lifeforms. As the Pillar Gods fought and mechanical forces gathered, the players feared that Iron-Based Lifeforms could rapidly grow into a powerful technological civilization.

• The Mechanical Exploration Team despaired at their inability to perceive high-dimensional enemies and prepared to build factories and raise an army.
• Gusla told Mansha he could protect her for only seven days and urged her to become a powerful god before then.
• Xu Zhi concluded that Rennimansga was an Iron-Based Lifeform and that the Machine Pillar God could produce an entire category of life with diverse branches and talents.
• Medusa took away the nearly extinct Plant-Type Pillar God, leaving the Humanoid Pillar God and Machine Pillar God to fight and compete on the land.
• The players reacted with shock to Iron-Based Lifeforms, including intelligent machines producing offspring, and worried they could soon form a ninth-rank technological civilization.

The Alchemy Emperor explained that the Gate of Alchemy and primordial matter pointed to a ninth-order path on the Technology Side, which Hermes had already revealed alongside the Extraordinary Side’s path. He concluded that the ancient civilization’s Gods’ Gyms relied on energy fluid made from primordial matter produced by industrially breeding and slaughtering vast numbers of lives.

• The Alchemy Emperor proposed that Gods’ Gyms were branches supplied with energy fluid from a central factory, and the others recognized the fluid as primordial matter.
• The Alchemy Emperor identified the Gate of Alchemy as a ninth-order threshold of the Technology Side, and the group realized Hermes had taught them paths for both ancient cosmic systems.
• Xu Zhi recognized that the Zerg’s feedback energy worked like primordial matter and reflected that he had unknowingly benefited from the Zerg’s Technology Side methods.
• The Alchemy Emperor hypothesized that the ancient civilization produced primordial matter through assembly-line breeding and mass slaughter, leaving the listeners horrified by the scale of its consumption.

The Alchemy Emperor explained that a God Factory could use living beings to produce primal essence, then announced he would create a Level Top-up Room where people could buy levels with money. The chapter ended with everyone stunned by his sales pitch.
