Chapter Summaries

Su Shijie escaped Locke, an Asgardian demigod who had ambushed him while he was secretly cleansing Contamination Sources. After learning that hegemon-level civilizations had secretly deployed demigods to investigate the disappearances, Su Shijie stopped the operation and headed back with Delis and Ivona.

• Su Shijie’s Contamination Source raids drew attention, and Locke ambushed him while he was traveling alone.
• Su Shijie fought Locke through the asteroid belt, using spacetime attacks and recovery to damage Locke’s armor and evade capture.
• Su Shijie unleashed Edict: Shatterspace, forcing Locke to enter curvature to escape and letting Su Shijie flee.
• Locke concluded that Su Shijie was an Enemy of Order stealing Contamination Sources to hatch Tyranid Larvae.
• Ivona apologized for failing to foresee the ambush, and Su Shijie decided to halt the cleansing and return with his followers.

After reaching a major Illegal Star Gate in the Flame Demon Star Domain, Su Shijie and his companions were caught in an inspection for Tyranid Larvae and Evil God contraband. A bomb attack disrupted the inspection, and Su Shijie stopped a fleeing spacecraft with Air Ban, leaving the black-market demigods to seize it.

• Su Shijie learned that the subspace exploration had ended and planned to return to Earth after passing through the Illegal Star Gate.
• A powerful Flame Demon ordered inspections at the busy black-market Star Gate, and Su Shijie's group waited three days for their ship and Spatial Equipment to be scanned.
• As Su Shijie's group was about to pass through, a ship behind them exploded, and the Flame Demon's Domain Field contained much of the blast.
• A spacecraft broke from the queue and tried to escape by entering warp travel, but Su Shijie used Air Ban to stop it.
• The three black-market demigods pinned down the disabled spacecraft.

Su Shijie helped the demigods capture Tyranid Larva cargo ships in the Flame Demon Star Domain and passed inspection to continue his journey. He told Nan Mingxi he was preparing to return to the Earth Federation to rest, surprising her after his long absence.

Su Shijie returned to Rainbow III and reunited with Nan Mingxi, who was on the verge of becoming Transcendent. After spending time together, he learned his former schoolmates were away investigating contamination and earning credits.

• Su Shijie arrived at Rainbow III and landed at Sky Feather Foreign Language Academy, where Nan Mingxi greeted him and revealed she was forming her Domain Field.
• Nan Mingxi confessed that she still liked Su Shijie, then took him to the dormitory; Ivona watched them go while Delis continued attacking Eden Security convoys and the weakened Norton Family.
• Bai Congcong and Bai Xinxin had advanced to Sky Feather Academy and reached Evolutionary Tier, leaving Su Shijie and Nan Mingxi free to spend time together.
• Su Shijie asked Nan Mingxi about his former schoolmates and learned that Ma Panpan had reached Transcendent, while Wang Lang, Senior Li Chuandao, and the others were away conducting a contamination investigation for credits.

Su Shijie helped Nan Mingxi prepare to study at Sky Feather Academy on Paradise Mountain, while Ivona quickly befriended her. As the academy dean praised humanity’s potential, Su Shijie planned to travel past the former Prometheus home system and inspect its contamination.

• Nan Mingxi learned Ivona was a Divine Bloodline Transcendent with the potential to become a Calamity, then grew close to her.
• Nan Mingxi told Su Shijie she wanted to study at Sky Feather Academy, and he agreed to help her transfer and take her to Paradise Mountain.
• Su Shijie planned to visit the Sophia sisters and other acquaintances on Paradise Mountain, while also looking into the contaminated former Prometheus home system on the way.
• The Foreign Languages Academy dean personally helped Su Shijie with the paperwork and praised his achievements and humanity’s potential.
• The dean explained that humanity’s ability to transform during crises could make its people exceptionally formidable as Transcendents and even Calamities now that they possessed Divine Bloodlines.

Su Shijie, Nan Mingxi, and Ivona traveled to Paradise Mountain, the Skyfeather Civilization’s capital and holy land, where Sophia and Sophina welcomed them. As they entered, the gathering of powerful demigods revealed the civilization’s immense strength and tempered Su Shijie’s confidence.

• Su Shijie wondered whether ordinary humans could break through to Calamity level, and Nan Mingxi said Blade could do so.
• Su Shijie and his companions reached Paradise Mountain, a dismantled star that housed the Skyfeather Civilization’s capital, its Eternal Star Gate, and the Justice Goddess’s true body.
• Sophia and Sophina met the group in their spacecraft and teased Su Shijie about Ivona before guiding their ships toward Paradise Mountain.
• Ivona and Nan Mingxi discussed the sisters’ powerful bloodlines, while Su Shijie reflected on his own strength and standing.
• As the group approached Paradise Mountain, Su Shijie sensed the many demigods guarding it and realized that even the strongest among them were beyond his reach.

Su Shijie accepted a call from Tian Dafeng, a Skyfire Trading Company manager, who asked him to support mediation between the Sand Tribe, the Beast Tribe, and the Earth Federation. The Sophia sisters interrupted the call at Paradise Mountain, leaving Tian Dafeng uncertain whether he could pressure Dawn to accept the tribes’ demands.

• Su Shijie accepted Tian Dafeng’s call after learning it had been referred by a former acquaintance.
• Tian Dafeng asked Su Shijie to support peace talks that would preserve the Sand Tribe and Beast Tribe’s claims to planets in the Solar System.

Su Shijie left Nan Mingxi and the two little ones safely settled at Sky Feather Academy, then prepared to return to Earth and visit Prometheus. Before he departed, the Justice Goddess offered him a marriage alliance with the Sophia sisters in exchange for his Galaxy Fighting Competition champion status, but he made clear that any future proposal would involve the Wisdom Goddess and Aimu.

• Su Shijie accompanied Nan Mingxi and the two little ones as they settled in at Sky Feather Academy, where the principal promised to help them and no one caused trouble.
• After confirming the sisters were safe, Su Shijie declined the Sophia sisters' request to travel with him and promised to invite them to Earth later.
• The Justice Goddess asked whether Su Shijie would marry into the Sky Feather Race and offered to let half of his future descendants be adopted into the Earth Federation.
• Su Shijie rejected the Justice Goddess's proposal and said that if he ever pursued the Sophia sisters, he would ask the Wisdom Goddess to arrange it and have Aimu witness the proposal.

Su Shijie learned about the dangerous Planet-level Contamination Source in the Prometheus Star Domain and decided to investigate despite its formidable defenses. After obtaining approval from the Justice Goddess, he entered the restricted area and received directions to his classmates.

• Ivona reported that a Planet-level Contamination Source had devastated the Prometheus Civilization and was now contained by a layered blockade.
• Su Shijie learned that six powerful demigods and a large force of Calamities guarded the Contamination Source and its fallen demigod-level believer.
• Su Shijie judged that his space-time trait would let him evade the Sky Feather Race's defenses and chose to investigate the Contamination Source.
• Su Shijie presented his authorized pass after his spacecraft reached the restricted Star System.
• A human operator welcomed Su Shijie and sent guidance signals toward the sectors where his classmates were assisting with defense.

Su Shijie visited the outpost where Foreign Languages Academy students fought contamination, and his arrival exposed Commander Tian Huanyu’s jealousy and resentment. After Tian Huanyu greeted him with barely concealed sarcasm, Ivona revealed that he was Huanye’s uncle and explained his troubled background.

• Tian Huanyu berated Nangong Ye for letting the students celebrate the Galaxy Fighting Competition champion and ordered him to suppress their excitement.
• Su Shijie arrived at the outpost with Ivona, drawing cheers from the Foreign Languages Academy students and greeting Nangong Ye, Li Chuandao, Ma Panpan, and Tadu.
• Tian Huanyu greeted Su Shijie with sarcastic praise and warned him not to wander because protecting him would be troublesome.
• Ivona told Su Shijie that Tian Huanyu was Huanye’s uncle, had harbored improper thoughts toward her, and was an ordinary-blood peak Transcendent with no promising future.

Su Shijie endured Tian Huanyu’s rule-bound harassment at the outpost while Ivona quietly manipulated the commander’s attention. As Su Shijie investigated the Contamination Zone, he located six demigods stronger than himself and concluded that the threat justified their presence.

• Tian Huanyu refused to give Su Shijie special treatment, then left while resenting his connection to Ivona.
• Tian Huanyu used strict enforcement of the outpost rules to burden the Human Race personnel, especially Nangong Ye.
• Su Shijie taught the personnel to follow every procedure rigidly, forcing Tian Huanyu to handle even minor issues himself.
• Ivona repeatedly diverted Tian Huanyu’s anger, while Su Shijie used his time with her as cover to investigate the Contamination Zone.
• Su Shijie located all six demigods stationed in the zone and assessed that they were stronger than him.

Su Shijie located the Planet-level Contamination Source and left the area before secretly doubling back to approach it. After Ivona lured Tian Huanyu into an ambush, Su Shijie had her kill him and began waiting for the guards to change shifts.

• Su Shijie confirmed the Contamination Source's location and decided to return to Earth before attempting to approach it.
• Su Shijie arranged for a ship to leave a travel record while he secretly returned toward the Contamination Source under another identity.
• Ivona lured Tian Huanyu into the asteroid belt, where he tried to ambush Su Shijie and Ivona.
• Ivona revealed herself to Tian Huanyu and killed him with her calamity-level power.
• Su Shijie handled the aftermath, switched ships and identities, and waited for the six demigods to rotate their shifts.

Su Shijie’s presence triggered the Planet-level Contamination Source called Gluttony to fuse its contents into a colossal mass of Mutated Flesh, which threatened six demigods and nearby Transcendents. As the demigods struggled to contain it with golden chains, Su Shijie prepared to enter the Contamination Source and consume it.

• Su Shijie sensed Gluttony reacting to his aura and withdrew into hiding as the Contamination Source began to emit abnormal Vibrations.
• Six demigods detected the disturbance and watched a giant hand and an enormous mass of Mutated Flesh crawl out through a spatial crack, followed by swarms of smaller monsters.
• The region’s public channel ordered those below the Transcendent level to evacuate and those above it to intercept the threat.
• Su Shijie realized his presence had likely caused the Promethean flesh and a fallen believer to fuse, creating a mobile Planet-level Contamination Source that even the six demigods struggled to resist.
• The Mutated Flesh accused its opponents of stopping the Prometheans’ evolution, while its soul-level contamination intensified nearby mutations.
• The six demigods used golden chains forged by true gods to bind the creature, but the chains began to weaken, and Su Shijie decided to enter and eat Gluttony.

Su Shijie entered the Planet-level Contamination Source’s blood-red inner space and absorbed its core, gaining a powerful set of flesh-related traits. He reached bloodline level 60 and left with a Domain Field strong enough to match a top-tier demigod’s.

• Six demigods sensed a spacetime disturbance while struggling to restrain the enormous fused monster with God's Chains.
• Su Shijie slipped into the Contamination Source’s vast blood-red space and found its core, a black sphere connected to an evil god.
• Su Shijie chose to focus on spacetime traits, but the core’s Soul Power surged into him and awakened a series of flesh-related traits instead.
• Su Shijie’s bloodline reached level 60, and his Domain Field rose to the strength of a top-tier demigod with a level-nineteen bloodline.
• Su Shijie discovered that his activated flesh could resist demigod Domain Field compression and might contaminate enemies through physical attacks.

Su Shijie discovered that his manifested Flesh talents greatly accelerated his profession compilations and improved his control of Domain Fields. After escaping the collapsing Contamination Source space, he returned to the battlefield, rescued a besieged Natural Disaster expert, and faced the failing seal rather than abandoning those endangered by the outbreak.

• Su Shijie found that his Flesh talents enabled faster, simultaneous, and automatic Gene Compilation, and he planned to finish taking on his remaining professions before advancing.
• The space around the drained Contamination Source began collapsing, so Su Shijie escaped and found that he could operate a Domain Field as well as a demigod.
• Mutated Flesh overwhelmed the defenses, and weapons only scattered it into more dangerous contaminants that swarmed and infected Transcendent and Natural Disaster experts.
• Su Shijie used Fallen Satan's appearance and a powerful Domain Field to clear the blood mist surrounding a Natural Disaster expert and warned him to cleanse himself.
• Su Shijie considered leaving the dangerous battlefield but stayed to confront the failing seal because he did not want his actions to doom more people.

Su Shijie used God's Thought to shatter the Mutated Flesh and helped the demigods suppress it before slipping away. He returned to Earth and prepared to reunite with Ivona and finish his remaining side jobs.

• Su Shijie arrived to help the six demigods restrain the Mutated Flesh, though they suspected him because he was an unfamiliar male Spirit Caller.
• As the divine chains broke, Su Shijie used the Edict Shatterspace to tear the Mutated Flesh into four pieces.
• The six demigods suppressed the weakened flesh while Su Shijie cleared away smaller pieces and departed, leaving them to reconsider their suspicions.
• Su Shijie boarded his spacecraft and headed toward Earth, planning to meet Ivona and complete his remaining side jobs.
• In January, Earth Calendar 1043, Su Shijie returned through the Sun City Stargate, where Tian Bai Xing recognized him as the Galaxy Fighting Competition champion.

Su Shijie returned to Earth, where Dawn welcomed him and discussed his potential partners, while he insisted he would not abandon the partners he already had. The Federation celebrated his return, and he later went fishing with Su Ren and gave his father supplies to help him grow stronger.

• Dawn greeted Su Shijie and showed him 1,042 potential partners, but he said he would choose for himself and brought up inviting Sophia and Sophina to Earth.
• Su Shijie told Dawn that the Justice Goddess did not object to the arrangement and warned her not to act against his existing partners.
• Dawn welcomed Su Shijie home as the Human Race's Imperial Bloodline and champion, and news of his return spread across the Earth Federation.
• Su Shijie reflected on the Federation's hardships and Dawn's use of external pressure to push humanity to develop its potential.
• Su Ren complained to Su Shijie about being made a councilor and attracting wealthy students at the Wang family's martial arts school.
• Su Shijie gave Su Ren a Space Ring containing high-grade potions that could help him and his older sister reach Evolutionary Tier Nine.

After returning to Earth, Su Shijie researched additional professions while preparing to help Lan Mei and Ling Qin. His profession Galaxy Cluster collapsed into a unified point that absorbed new professions and spiritual energy, and he reached the Evolutionary Tier.

• Su Shijie returned to Spirit Wind City, invited Sophia and her sister, and left Tian Martha to help guard Earth while Blade was away.
• Su Shijie refused Ivona’s suggestion to force Masha into becoming his follower and said he was studying how to help Lan Mei and Ling Qin take additional professions.
• Su Shijie compiled more than twelve thousand professions, causing his profession Galaxy Cluster to collapse into a single point and his abilities to become much stronger.
• Su Shijie compiled another profession and saw its gene fragments disappear into the point, slightly increasing his abilities.
• Su Shijie consumed more than a hundred tons of Strong Spirit Potion, reached the Evolutionary Tier, and confirmed that new professions still made him stronger.

After reaching the Evolutionary Tier, Su Shijie worried about the enormous resources his advancement required and tried to contact the Sophia sisters. He learned that their ship had been attacked near Paradise Mountain, and waited for news as Saint Sony investigated.

• Su Shijie realized his Evolutionary Tier power far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators, but lamented that his breakthrough had consumed a hundred tons of Strong Spirit Potions and most of his supplies.
• Su Shijie learned that Blade had crossed the threshold to become a Calamity, while Aimu offered him a favor in return for past help.
• Su Shijie failed to reach the Sophia sisters and Blade, whose ship had been traveling abnormally long without responding.
• Su Shijie contacted Dawn, who connected him directly to Justice to investigate the missing travelers.
• Justice told Su Shijie that the ship had been attacked shortly after leaving Paradise Mountain, and that Saint Sony had gone to investigate.

After learning that a Sky Feather Race demigod had kidnapped Queen of Blades, Su Shijie set out to seek help and pursue the organization behind the abduction. He headed toward the Elf Race, targeting Elder Tyler, while Ivona and the others traveled separately.

• Justice Goddess told Su Shijie that the Sophia sisters had escaped with severe injuries, but Queen of Blades had been captured by a Sky Feather Race demigod.
• Su Shijie asked Justice Goddess for a route and star map so he could seek Lord Aimu’s aid, while secretly planning to question the organization’s demigods Tyler and Huozhao Family’s member.
• After confirming Earth had safeguards in place, Su Shijie left to pursue the kidnappers.
• Ivona piloted the spacecraft toward the Elf Race, while the group planned to switch ships and split up en route.
• Su Shijie targeted Elder Tyler, whose residence stood atop an ancient tree on Talas VI in the Talas System.
