Chapter Summaries

Su Shijie and Ivona arrived at a Fire Lion Race stargate and prepared to travel to Elf Country, where they unexpectedly encountered Jess Charles, a human from Earth. Jess recognized Su Shijie as a fellow countryman and approached him.

• Su Shijie and Ivona passed through the Fire Lion Race space station without identity checks and saw its residents collecting money from cargo ships.
• Su Shijie disguised himself as a Sky Feather Race member while Ivona posed as a succubus, and they planned to take a comfortable cargo ship to Elf Country.
• Ivona spotted Jess Charles, a human Evolutionary Tier Nine Mechanist serving as a merchant caravan guard, and Su Shijie identified him using Dawn's information.
• Jess Charles recognized Su Shijie as human, approached him, and greeted him in Chinese as a fellow countryman.

Su Shijie reunited with Jess Charles on Cannes, but a Blood Elf named Mo Jiu Bloodthirsty harassed Ivona and tried to force Su Shijie to humiliate himself. Ivona crushed Mo Jiu with her Domain Field and altered his memories, leaving Jess safer from retaliation.

• Jess Charles recognized Su Shijie as a Human Race Imperial Bloodline and urged him to keep a low profile and exchange terminal details.
• Su Shijie stayed with Ivona, and Jess returned to his post after Mo Jiu Bloodthirsty rebuked him for chatting.
• Mo Jiu approached Ivona, insulted humans, and used illusion techniques to try to make Su Shijie lick his boots.
• Ivona detected Mo Jiu's illusion and crushed him with her Domain Field, leaving him unconscious and bleeding.
• Ivona told Su Shijie she had damaged Mo Jiu's brainstem and erased his short-term memories so Jess would not face retaliation.

Ivona incapacitated Mo Jiu after he tried to influence her with an illusion, then used the Flame Demon Star Domain’s informal rules to settle the incident with the Fire Lion patrol. Su Shijie learned how the domain’s pragmatic system worked and began adjusting to his new surroundings.

• Ivona struck Mo Jiu’s soul, leaving the Blood Elf convulsing, while Jess Charles realized Su Shijie might be safer in Ivona’s care.
• Three Fire Lions arrived and asked Ivona to explain why she had attacked Mo Jiu.
• Ivona presented the illusion aura she had preserved as evidence that Mo Jiu had provoked her, and the Fire Lion Transcendent accepted her explanation.
• Ivona paid a negotiable fine, and Jess used telekinesis to carry Mo Jiu away before the officers fined him too.
• Ivona called the Flame Demon Race and its dependents “principled scoundrels,” and Su Shijie considered how to adapt to the domain’s unwritten rules.

Su Shijie and Ivona boarded the freighter Jess was assigned to protect, and Su Shijie joined Jess for a drink in his cabin. Jess revealed that he and Tore’s faction had been separated and pressured by the Blood Elf faction within Embers Security.

• Jess took Mo Jiu back with him and apologized to Su Shijie, who learned that Jess and Ivona would remain in port until the next day.
• Su Shijie and Ivona boarded the freighter bound for Elf Country and discovered that Jess was working as its security personnel.
• Su Shijie reassured Jess about their safety and joined him for a private drink in his dormitory room.
• Jess explained that Tore had clashed with a top Transcendent from the Blood Elf faction, leading to their faction being split up and pushed out of assignments.
• Jess said Embers’ internal rules limited the Blood Elf faction’s ability to keep targeting them, then asked Su Shijie about his recent fame and Imperial Bloodline.

Su Shijie listened to Jess explain his frugal habits and dream of buying a Wind God 3.0 combat suit before Mo Yuan Bloodthirsty confronted Jess over Mo Jiu’s injury. Ivona revealed her overwhelming strength by pinning Mo Yuan against the wall, leaving him shocked by the power of the succubus he had provoked.

• Su Shijie hinted that his growing fame might let him help Jess, then listened as Jess described his careful saving and plans to buy a Wind God 3.0.
• Jess enthusiastically compared the Wind God 3.0 with other combat suits, while Su Shijie realized he had once seized more than a hundred of that model and sold them.
• Su Shijie and Ivona heard an angry person approach Jess’s room, suspecting the confrontation concerned Mo Jiu’s injury.
• Mo Yuan Bloodthirsty arrived and tried to pin Jess against the wall with his Domain Field.
• Ivona tore apart Mo Yuan’s Domain Field, pinned him to the wall, and declared that she had injured Mo Jiu herself.

Ivona pinned Mo Yuan after he attacked the passengers, and Su Shijie’s identity as the Galaxy Fighting Competition champion stunned everyone aboard the ship. Jess chose to let Ivona kill Mo Yuan, then took charge of the Embers team as its strongest surviving member.

• Ivona pinned Mo Yuan with her Domain Field, and he tried to appease her by offering his family’s help to the Succubus Tribe.
• Su Shijie revealed his connection to Feifei Wing, and an Embers team member identified him as the Galaxy Fighting Competition champion, the Lord of Ten Thousand Streams.
• The ship’s captain arrived to mediate, and Ivona offered Jess the choice of whether Mo Yuan would live or die.
• Jess declared that Mo Yuan had violated company rules and should be handled by the passenger, so Ivona crushed Mo Yuan to death.
• Jess told Su Shijie he would handle the aftermath, and the surviving Embers members were left under his authority.

Su Shijie and Ivona dealt with Jess’s situation and continued their journey toward Elf Country, where Su Shijie discovered that their cargo ship was secretly carrying Tyranid Zerg eggs. He went to investigate the hidden storage compartment after sensing someone watching the ship.

• Ivona agreed to warn the cargo ship owners, but she and Su Shijie paused when Jess lingered outside their room.
• Jess told Su Shijie that he could handle the matter and revealed that the captain wanted to hire Su Shijie to make promotional clips.
• Su Shijie sent Jess away and continued completing rare profession side jobs during the voyage.
• Su Shijie sensed someone watching the ship and found hidden spatial storage near the Warp Engine.
• Su Shijie used stealth to investigate the hidden compartment and sensed a cluster of Tyranid Zerg eggs.

Su Shijie discovered that Tyranid Zerg eggs were being smuggled aboard his ship and concluded that an unseen operation was using the vessel to evade inspections. He decided to wait for the Calamity accomplice to collect the eggs, hoping to avoid exposing himself while preparing to intervene.

• Su Shijie recognized the eggs as Tyranid Zerg and recalled the danger they posed, along with their value as a means of strengthening Domain Fields and healing souls.
• Su Shijie secretly investigated the ship’s captain, crew, guards, and Jess, then concluded that none of them knew about the eggs.
• Su Shijie inferred that someone had hidden the eggs aboard the ship to retrieve them after it passed stricter inspections, while a Calamity watched over the cargo.
• Su Shijie chose not to report the shipment or act immediately, deciding to wait until the Calamity accomplice took possession of the eggs.

Su Shijie and Ivona devised a way to redirect suspicion after a Tyranid Larvae shipment, then Su Shijie secretly followed Pliss as he carried the goods toward his handlers. Once they entered curvature, Su Shijie confronted Pliss and questioned him about the people behind the operation.

• Ivona suggested arranging for the collector to become contaminated and die in a staged encounter, shifting suspicion toward the discovery of Tyranid Larvae.
• Su Shijie and Ivona traveled casually, said goodbye to Jess at the terminal, and went to an inn, where Su Shijie vanished from sight.
• Pliss destroyed his disguise and communication equipment, changed identities, and boarded his personal spacecraft with the modified storage ring.
• Pliss verified the shipment with an electronic contact and entered curvature at full speed toward the destination.
• Su Shijie revealed himself to Pliss, who admitted that the hidden force had threatened his family and forced him to transport the goods.
• Su Shijie asked Pliss what he knew about the people behind the operation, their purpose, and their strength.

After learning the extent of the insect-egg operation, Su Shijie gave Pliss a chance to turn against it. Pliss lured Tian Dama to a rendezvous in the Talas System, where their clash triggered system-wide alarms and drew Elf Country’s forces toward them.

• Su Shijie learned from Pliss that a secret, far-reaching organization had distributed and consumed insect eggs for over a hundred Radiant Years, with a demigod behind the operation.
• Pliss realized the organization would not spare his family and had no final wishes to offer Su Shijie.
• In the Talas System, Tian Dama waited for Pliss, who claimed his ship had malfunctioned and asked Tian Dama to meet him at its location.
• Tian Dama flew toward Pliss, and Catastrophe Class III radiation alarms sounded throughout the system.
• Pliss fought Tian Dama to a standstill after Su Shijie had made him three times stronger and ensured he could not change his mind.

Su Shijie intervened when Tian Dama and Pliss were attacked by an Elf demigod, exposing a contaminated Tyranid Zerg larva and implicating Elder Tyler in a conspiracy. After escaping with two larvae, Su Shijie reflected on the organization’s reach and left its fate to the hegemonic civilizations.

• Tian Dama tried to flee while fighting Pliss, but an Elf demigod arrived and attacked them both with lethal intent.
• Su Shijie descended through Pliss and unleashed the contaminated larva’s power, shattering the demigod’s soul attack and revealing a giant Tyranid Zerg phantom.
• Other Elf powerhouses arrived, recognized the Tyranid Zerg threat, and knocked out Pliss and Tian Dama before searching the scene.
• Su Shijie left with Ivona and two larvae, while Delis identified the implicated demigod as Elder Tyler and worried about the organization’s reach.
• Su Shijie accepted that he could do no more about the conspiracy, and Ivona comforted him with a kiss.

Su Shijie returned to the Flame Demon Star Domain as the Sanctified Sky Feather Race Spirit Caller Fallen Satan and chose a Super Contamination Source on Dark Rock Star as his first target. After arriving at the planet’s chaotic black market, he sensed a large number of people with contamination auras and prepared to investigate the source before acting.

• Su Shijie returned to the Flame Demon Star Domain in the identity of Fallen Satan after relocating his true body.
• Ivona told Su Shijie that the Tyranid Larva smuggling incident had reached the Calamities, who were watching for it while keeping the news from causing panic.
• Ivona selected a Super Contamination Source on the Fire Lion Race’s Dark Rock Star as Su Shijie’s first target.
• Su Shijie and Ivona landed near the lava riverbank and entered the planet’s enormous black market, which Fire Lion Race warriors kept in order.
• Su Shijie sensed contamination auras among at least twenty to thirty percent of the black market’s visitors and decided to gather information about the Super Contamination Source before making a move.

Su Shijie posed as a Fallen Angel to gather intelligence from an Evil God Cult black market and learned the Super Contamination Source held the remains of a Calamity Tier being. Bishop Huotong offered to arrange access to a more powerful source and asked Su Shijie to help replace his partner, leaving Su Shijie considering a chance to destroy the planet and take the source.

• Su Shijie used his Fallen Angel disguise to question a Vicious Dog Race cultist about Tyranid Larvae, Sacred Sources, and the Super Contamination Source.
• The cultist revealed that the Super Contamination Source contained stolen remains of a Calamity Tier being and offered to introduce Su Shijie to the bishop.
• Su Shijie discovered that the bishop, Huotong, was one of the two Fire Lion Race Calamity Tiers stationed on the planet.
• Huotong offered to seek help from Dark Light's bishop to lend Su Shijie a vacant Top-tier Sacred Source in the Fire Scorpion Star Domain.
• Huotong asked Su Shijie to help replace his greedy partner, Huozhao, and Su Shijie considered using the opportunity to destroy the planet and take its Super Contamination Source.

Su Shijie agreed to assassinate a Catastrophe for Huotong, but Ivona suspected that Huozhao and his family had hidden support tied to a larger conspiracy. Su Shijie realized Huozhao might be baiting Huotong into acting so he could suppress him and claim credit, leaving the planned assassination more dangerous than it first seemed.

• Su Shijie agreed to contact Dark Light and attack in half a day, while Huotong promised to clear the area and keep only his own people.
• Huozhao warned Huotong that Evil God Cultists might be operating in the market and revealed that he had invited an elder to cultivate nearby.
• Ivona told Su Shijie that Huozhao's rapid cultivation and family background suggested they might have another Demigod in reserve.
• Su Shijie connected the black market to the suspected transport of Tyranid Larva and realized Huozhao could be using Huotong as bait to expose the Evil God Cultists and earn merit.

Su Shijie challenged Huojiao, a hidden demigod tied to the Tyranid Zerg transport organization, to test his strength. Their battle left Huojiao wounded and struggling against Su Shijie's strange techniques, and Huojiao escalated the fight to kill him.

• Su Shijie sent his retainers away, then flew to the planet after sensing a demigod nearby.
• Huojiao emerged from warp and attacked Su Shijie with compressed claw strikes and tail barbs.
• Su Shijie froze Huojiao's tail barbs and questioned why Huojiao's family had another demigod hidden from view.
• Huojiao attacked again with stacked soul impacts and concluded that Su Shijie was not a true demigod.
• Su Shijie's techniques repeatedly wounded Huojiao despite the demigod's barrage of attacks.
• Huojiao abandoned restraint and vowed to kill Su Shijie by any means necessary.

Su Shijie and Huojiao stopped fighting after Huozhao and Huotong proposed cooperation, and the group began discussing what they could offer each other. Su Shijie secured a token from Huotong and turned to question Huozhao and Huojiao.

• Huozhao, realizing Huotong's side had a demigod-level ally, proposed cooperation to prevent their conflict from exposing the family's secrets.
• Huozhao and Huotong urged Huojiao and Su Shijie to stop fighting, and both fighters held back.
• Huojiao recognized Su Shijie as a Fallen Angel, while Su Shijie reflected that he had tested his abilities against a demigod.
• Huozhao respectfully offered to seek insect eggs for Su Shijie but admitted the organization kept its structure and members secret.
• Su Shijie criticized Huotong for not giving him a token, so Huotong handed him an authenticated tail hook; Su Shijie then questioned Huozhao and Huojiao.

Su Shijie killed Huozhao, Huotong, and Huojiao after unleashing a hidden spatial attack and battling Huojiao across a lava planet. He harvested Huojiao’s corpse and contamination source, then judged that he could defeat ordinary demigods but would need time to kill them; the source still failed to improve his bloodline.

• Su Shijie shattered a snowflake-like crystal, killing Huozhao and Huotong while Huojiao escaped through curvature and was thrown out by the spatial shock.
• Su Shijie attacked Huojiao, whose movements grew stiff under his absorbing strikes, and the two crashed into a lava planet, wiping out its atmosphere and all life on its surface.
• Su Shijie tore through Huojiao’s Domain Field and killed him, leaving only half the planet intact.
• Su Shijie drained the Super Contamination Source and stored Huojiao’s corpse, but complained that the source had not raised his bloodline to the first rank.
• Su Shijie concluded that he could defeat ordinary demigods, though killing them would take considerable effort unless his Space Snowflake attack landed completely.

Su Shijie planned to travel to the Fire Scorpion Star Domain to seek a Top-tier Contamination Source, then met with the 'Dark Light' archbishop Gu Yan. The meeting revealed that Gu Yan had gathered several powerful Catastrophes from nearby churches after Huotong’s disappearance.

• Su Shijie discussed his recent battle with Ivona and Delis and decided that Super Contamination Sources were no longer sufficient for his needs.
• Ivona suggested that Su Shijie use Huotong’s token to visit the Fire Scorpion Star Domain and pursue a Top-tier Contamination Source, and he agreed.
• Su Shijie contacted Gu Yan, who said Huotong had invited him to assist with a plan against the Huozhao Family before the sudden battle.
• Su Shijie traveled to an asteroid belt to meet Gu Yan and found several powerful Catastrophes gathered there.
• Gu Yan explained that the Catastrophes were representatives of nearby churches who had assembled to discuss emergency measures after what happened to Huotong.

Su Shijie met nearby church leaders who wanted to use a Top-tier Contamination Source, then seized the gathering as an opportunity to overpower them with his binding ability. He gave the immobilized leaders a choice between lowering their mental defenses or dying.

• Su Shijie met Gu Yan, Fire Tail, Fire Fang, Moss, and Mott, and learned which churches they led.
• Gu Yan explained that the churches shared access to the nearby Top-tier Contamination Source, and Moss wanted to make Lizardmen tails for everyone to use.
• Su Shijie objected to the others taking their turn and threatened to kill them if they refused to cooperate.
• Su Shijie used “Decree: Binding” to seal the leaders’ souls and immobilize them.
• Su Shijie ordered the leaders to lower their mental defenses or be sent to meet the Lord.

Su Shijie infiltrated a top-tier Contamination Source with Gu Yan’s help, strengthening his Bloodline and Traits before clearing nearby Super Contamination Sources. After making Gu Yan the Dawn Church’s divine envoy, he learned that Demigods were investigating and prepared to leave the tense star domain.

• Gu Yan explained how his and Fire Tail’s insiders could help Su Shijie bypass the guards around the Dark Light Church’s top-tier Contamination Source.
• Su Shijie absorbed the Contamination Source, gained three Bloodline levels, raised his Bloodline to level 45, and obtained the Spacetime Stasis Trait.
• Su Shijie followed his guides to clear the nearby Super Contamination Sources and evaded a Demigod patrol.
• Su Shijie embedded the Sacred Source into Gu Yan’s thought and appointed him the Dawn Church’s divine envoy in the region.
• Gu Yan reported that Demigods were investigating the missing top-tier Sacred Source, and Su Shijie decided to leave the star domain.
