Powerful civilizations gathered at the Black City Auction House on Shi Gan Star as Chen Mo planned to leave as soon as the auction ended. The auction began with ordinary treasures, and the sixth item, Swallow, was brought onto the stage with the auctioneer visibly excited by its recorded data.

The God-level Civilizations left Bai Yun Star after bidding for Demon Flame Civilization's Superpower Development Technology, while a mysterious blockade began in the Shi Gan Star System.

Chen Mo, Jing Ge, and Gray Twenty-One stopped Kui Mu’s group from entering Zong Tu Star and slaughtered most of the invading Mech Warriors. They spared the forty-one who surrendered to use them for Space Connector construction.

• Chen Mo warned Kui Mu’s spaceship to stay away from Zong Tu Star, but Kui Mu led his Mech Warriors toward the planet and demanded shelter and Antimatter Energy.

Elsewhere, Dan investigated the blockade around Shi Gan Star as Black Eye Civilization reinforced its forces and drove Lei Ting’s fleet from its Star System.

• Chen Mo fitted the forty-one lifeforms with restraining wristbands and core chips, named Pu Ke their captain and Redskin their vice-captain, and ordered them to move asteroids into Zong Tu Star’s orbit.

• Chen Mo contacted Shui Ling and agreed to meet if she removed her destructive thermal weapons before entering.
• Gui Xiang warned Shui Ling about the risk, but she agreed to disarm and he decided to accompany her.

Shui Ling and Gui Xiang discovered that Chen Mo controlled a heavily fortified Star System and asked to join him so they could leave Shi Gan Star. Chen Mo agreed on the condition that the Endless Sea personnel obey his command, while Odd prepared to expose their presence to stir up trouble.

• Chen Mo ordered the Star System to destroy unauthorized ships, and Shui Ling ordered the Endless Sea Civilization fleet to join the defense.

• Chen Mo and Shui Ling suspected the Dark Forest Civilization had another move, and an alarm sounded as new footage appeared.

Chen Mo’s defenses detected ten Dark Forest Civilization Mech Warriors infiltrating the Star System toward Zong Tu Star, where the Space Connector was under construction. As the assault continued, Chen Mo called Jing Ge to confront the leading invader, Odd.

• Chen Mo sent Jing Ge, Gray Twenty-One, and ten Endless Sea Civilization Mech Warriors to protect Zong Tu Star, while Mo Nv activated the Star System’s defenses.
• Space-based weapons ambushed the ten invaders, killing two and exposing the remaining eight as users of customized Top-level Battle Armor.
• Chen Mo marked the strongest invader for concentrated fire, but the warrior destroyed five space-based laser weapons and kept advancing toward Zong Tu Star.
• Chen Mo asked Jing Ge to engage the leading invader, and Jing Ge agreed.
• Odd realized the Star System’s defenses were far stronger than expected but continued pursuing his goal of destroying the Endless Sea Civilization’s escape plan and capturing Shui Ling.
• As Odd destroyed another Space-Based Weapon, Jing Ge approached him.

Jing Ge fought Odd, a Dark Forest warrior who awakened both Berserk Transformation and the Undying Body, while Gray Twenty-One defeated another enemy with her teleportation ability. Jing Ge pierced Odd’s brain with his Combat Thorn, leaving Odd’s fate at the end of the chapter.

• Jing Ge drove his Combat Thorn through Odd’s brow and brain.

After Jing Ge killed Odd, Fu Kun spoke with Chen Mo and revealed that the Endless Sea had solidified space around the Shi Gan Star System to prevent a dimensional reduction attack. As outside forces reacted to the killing and the system’s isolation, the White Star Civilization learned of Jing Ge and began assessing his strength.

• Shui Ling warned Chen Mo that the Dark Forest might retaliate, and Chen Mo said Space Weapons were the chief danger.
• Fu Kun told Chen Mo that the Endless Sea had solidified space around the Shi Gan Star System, then invited him to visit the Endless Sea.

• The Fox Woman returned with incomplete superpower technology and watched Jing Ge’s battle footage with Bai Lu and Shi Ming.
• Shi Ming said Jing Ge’s Battle Awareness was terrifying and that he might be Jing Ge’s equal, prompting the Fox Woman to note the Star System’s hidden strength.
