Chapter Summaries

Li Chen used a Super Deluxe Gift Pack and received enormous supplies of Energy Crystal Cores and Evolution Energy while fighting off Monster Decision Makers. He spent Evolution Energy to max out all his attributes, unleashing a huge energy storm in the underground space as his enemies watched in alarm.

• Li Chen opened a Super Deluxe Gift Pack and received 50 million Energy Crystal Cores of each generation and tier, along with 50 quintillion Evolution Energy.
• Li Chen asked Noah whether he had a hidden luck attribute, and Noah replied that he was simply lucky.
• Li Chen checked his Attribute Panel and calculated the Evolution Energy needed to max out his attributes.
• Li Chen spent Evolution Energy to max out all his attributes, and a vast energy storm erupted around him.
• The Monster Decision Makers recognized that Li Chen was increasing his power and feared the storm would destroy the underground space.

Li Chen maxed out his attribute points, unleashing an energy storm that devastated the Underground Production Workshop and killed several Monster Decision Makers. Mu Xiao arrived with Mo Yue, fought off the surrounding enemies with powerful blue flames, and entered the Temporary Operating Room, where he subdued the scientists and turned his attention to five Shadow Organization members.

• Li Chen maxed out his attribute points, enveloping himself in protective energy as a raging storm beheaded several Monster Decision Makers.
• The remaining Monster Decision Makers sealed Li Chen and the storm behind Mental Barriers, while Mu Xiao arrived with Mo Yue and neutralized an incoming blade storm.
• Mo Yue saw the devastation and blamed Li Chen’s strength on the Alien Civilization behind him.
• Monster Decision Makers who had reached the middle stage of Tier 11 attacked Mu Xiao, who unleashed blue flames that scorched the enemies and raised the underground temperature above one thousand degrees Celsius.
• Mu Xiao entered the heat-resistant Temporary Operating Room, subdued the scientists, and raised a telekinetic force toward the five Shadow Organization members.

Mu Xiao rescued the five Shadow Organization members and prepared to return with them to reinforce the Space Shelter. Mo Yue escaped his telekinetic restraints by fusing with the Southern Giant Beast Dragon Monster Decision Maker, leaving Mu Xiao facing a much stronger opponent.

• Mu Xiao freed the five Shadow Organization members from their restraints and removed the monitoring devices from their brains.
• Mu Xiao told the five to help him send Li Chen and his energy storm mass into the sky before they returned to reinforce the Space Shelter.
• Mo Yue ordered the Tyrannosaurus Rex Monster Decision Maker to get her out, but the Southern Giant Beast Dragon Monster Decision Maker offered to fuse with her instead.
• Mo Yue accepted the Southern Giant Beast Dragon Monster Decision Maker's offer, and it sacrificed itself to transfer its power to her.
• Mo Yue broke free of Mu Xiao's telekinesis and recovered much of her strength, startling Mu Xiao.

After absorbing the Southern Giant Beast Dragon Monster Decision Maker, Mo Yue recovered much of her strength and gained new abilities, allowing her to escape Mu Xiao. Mu Xiao abandoned the pursuit and joined the five Shadow Organization members in taking Li Chen back as another enemy attack approached.

• Mo Yue rose with her injuries partly healed, and Mu Xiao ordered the five Shadow Organization members to take Li Chen back while he attacked her.
• Mo Yue realized the fusion had raised her to Level 13 Peak and granted her Rapid Healing and Space Movement, but she knew Mu Xiao still had the advantage in a direct fight.
• Mo Yue dodged Mu Xiao's barrage, mocked him, and led the other Monster Decision Makers through a spatial gate.
• Mu Xiao attacked the gate, but the enemies escaped before his strikes could stop them, and the gate quickly returned to normal.
• With only fifteen seconds before the next estimated attack, Mu Xiao called off the pursuit and joined the five Shadow Organization members in enveloping Li Chen with telekinesis.

After escaping Hua Ju Laboratory Headquarters, Mo Yue planned to absorb the power of the Level 9 Peak Monster Decision Makers, but discovered that her Fusion talent had a month-long cooldown and carried the risk of deadly backlash. The chapter left her injured and unable to fuse with the gathered monsters for now.

• Mu Xiao led five members in transferring the energy storm around Li Chen into the sky.
• Mo Yue and more than twenty thousand Monster Decision Makers escaped through the Space-Time Tunnel to a desert in the White-Headed Sam Empire, where she spat blood from Mu Xiao's attacks.
• Mo Yue ordered the Tyrannosaurus Rex Monster Decision Maker to gather the Level 9 Peak monsters so she could fuse with them and replenish her strength.
• After about fifteen thousand Level 9 Peak Monster Decision Makers assembled, Mo Yue tried to fuse with a toad-like monster but found her talent was on cooldown.
• Mo Yue realized that Fusion could only be used again after roughly a month and that forcibly absorbing a target could trigger a deadly backlash.

After reaching Tier 11 peak, Li Chen woke inside the Space Shelter during a battle with the Prite People’s Star Destroyer Mothership. When Airship 27’s defenses faltered, he joined the Shadow Organization’s telekinetic network and reinforced its barrier just before the enemy attack struck.

• Mo Yue realized she could not initiate fusion for another month, ordered the Tyrannosaurus Rex Monster Decision Maker to find them a place to settle, and drank Evolution Fluid.
• Mu Xiao and the others brought Li Chen and his energy storm into the Space Shelter, where the storm was contained in a Breakthrough Evolution Chamber.
• The Prite People’s Star Destroyer Mothership resumed attacking the Space Shelter while Li Chen’s energy storm was absorbed back into him.
• Li Chen woke, discovered the Shadow Organization was fighting the attackers, and sensed that Airship 27’s defenses were failing as two members collapsed.
• Li Chen linked his Mental Power with the Shadow Organization members, filled the energy gap around Airship 27, and rebuilt its defensive barrier before the enemy attack hit.

Li Chen helped the Shadow Organization repel an attack from six Prite Star Destroyer Motherships, impressing its members with his power. Mu Xiao told him that three hundred more motherships and a powerful Prite expert were headed for Earth, and asked for his help.

• Li Chen reinforced the spacecraft's energy barrier with his Mental Power until the Prite attack ended.
• Mu Xiao and the Shadow Organization members celebrated Li Chen's intervention and led him aside to talk.
• Mu Xiao told Li Chen that he had rescued him and the others from Hua Ju Laboratory Headquarters, but Mo Yue had escaped again, badly wounded.
• Mu Xiao revealed that Mo Yue had summoned three hundred Star Destroyer Motherships and a powerful Prite expert, expected to reach Earth within a month.
• Li Chen recognized that the Shadow Organization wanted his help but doubted his forces could stand against the coming invasion.

Li Chen asked Noah Civilization to help Earth resist Prite Civilization, but Noah said it could not send troops into the conflict. Noah promised technological and energy support when its spacecraft arrived in about half a month, and revealed that the Milky Way was an unruled enclave where Earth was currently the most advanced civilization.

• Mu Yao asked Li Chen to request Noah Civilization's help against the invading Prite Civilization.
• Noah told Li Chen and the Shadow Organization's leaders that Noah Civilization could not directly fight Prite Civilization because of the risks and laws governing conflicts between Tier 3 civilizations.
• Li Chen asked whether another civilization ruled the Milky Way, and Noah said a Noah Civilization spacecraft would arrive in about half a month with resources, repairs, and useful support.
• Noah revealed that the Milky Way was an enclave and that Earth was its most advanced civilization, though it was not yet strong enough to rule the galaxy.

Li Chen and the others learned that Earth Civilization was the Milky Way Galaxy’s most advanced civilization, yet remained insignificant beside the countless greater civilizations in the universe. Li Chen questioned why Noah Civilization helped Earth, but Noah refused to explain and said its envoys would arrive in half a month.

• Li Chen, Mu Xiao, Mu Yao, and the others reflected on how Earth was both the Milky Way Galaxy’s leading civilization and a primitive speck by the standards of the wider universe.
• Li Chen imagined that a galaxy Mining Ship could destroy the Solar System without noticing Earth Civilization’s existence.
• Li Chen asked Noah why Noah Civilization wanted to help Earth Civilization, given that Earth was the Milky Way Galaxy’s owner.
• Noah said it was only following its mission and could not explain Noah Civilization’s motives.
• Noah told Li Chen that Noah Civilization’s envoys would arrive on Earth in half a month, leaving Li Chen and the others worried about possible ulterior motives.

Li Chen decided that Earth Civilization’s first step toward becoming a powerful galactic civilization was to bring the Milky Way under his control, though he worried Noah Civilization might want the galaxy for itself. Noah gave him time-limited Super Deluxe Gift Packs to help with the crisis facing the Shadow Organization, and Li Chen opened one to discover enormous rewards.

• Li Chen resolved to claim the Milky Way Galaxy, while setting aside his concerns that Noah Civilization might eventually seek control of it.
• Noah told Li Chen that he could share gift-pack rewards with the Shadow Organization to help it survive until Noah’s people arrived, and said restored computing power would let it do far more.
• Li Chen used a Super Deluxe Gift Pack and received massive amounts of Evolution Energy and Energy Crystal Cores, along with an All-Level Energy Crystal Core Gift Pack.
• Li Chen saw that the All-Level Energy Crystal Core Gift Pack contained 15 billion cores across tiers 14 through 1, and found that twenty-nine Super Deluxe Gift Packs remained in his backpack.

Li Chen learned that Noah’s rewards were pure universe-origin energy that the Shadow Organization could use, while the approaching Prite fleet consisted of far more advanced fifth-generation Star Destroyer Motherships. Mu Xiao then explained that the Shadow Organization could use Energy Crystal Cores to make Acceleration Potions that greatly sped up Small Universe cultivation.

• Noah told Li Chen that the rewards could be used across cultivation systems and that the Shadow Organization knew how to extract their energy.
• Noah revealed that the Shadow Organization had collected Energy Crystal Cores and Evolution Fluid as fees from its members since the cataclysm began.
• Noah warned Li Chen that the 300 approaching Prite Star Destroyer Motherships were fifth-generation vessels, far more advanced than the six first-generation ships besieging Earth.
• Mu Xiao told Li Chen that the Shadow Organization could turn Energy Crystal Cores into cultivation potions that helped people develop their Small Universes.
• Mu Xiao explained that Acceleration Potions could reduce the time needed to comprehend a Tier 1 Small Universe from decades to about a month or even ten days.

Li Chen learned that Mu Xiao’s Space Shelter faced a severe energy shortage and requested roughly twenty-five million gai to keep fighting the aliens until the Noah Civilization’s envoy arrived. Li Chen remained cautious about sharing resources with the Shadow Organization and left the discussion uncertain whether the Star-Level Shelter could provide the enormous amount.

• Li Chen asked Mu Xiao whether Energy Crystal Cores were the raw material for his cultivation agents and offered help while concealing Noah’s reward and his reservations about the Shadow Organization.
• Li Chen considered the organization’s need for energy, its uncertain future relationship with the Star-Level Shelter, and the possibility of a future dispute over control of the Milky Way Galaxy.
• Mu Xiao said the Space Shelter needed energy both to power its Energy Cannons and to accelerate its people’s cultivation, then requested approximately twenty-five million gai.
• Li Chen was stunned by the figure and said he did not know whether the Star-Level Shelter had that much energy to spare.
• Mu Xiao explained how his organization calculated consumption and said a First Order Energy Crystal Core contained roughly five million units of energy, with each grade holding about five times as much as the previous one.

Li Chen calculated how much energy his Energy Crystal Cores contained and learned that the Shadow Organization needed far more to maintain its defenses against the enemy than he expected. As Mu Xiao waited for his decision, Noah confirmed the figures and explained that even this immense energy was negligible on a cosmic scale.

• Mu Xiao explained the energy requirements of the Space Shelter, and Li Chen calculated the energy contained in his Energy Crystal Cores.
• Li Chen realized that meeting the shelter’s minimum need would consume a vast portion of his reserves, including energy he could use to evolve.
• Li Chen asked Mu Xiao whether the energy would only barely balance offense and defense against the enemy.
• Noah confirmed that Mu Xiao’s data was accurate and told Li Chen that the energy required to evolve was insignificant compared with the energy of the Sun and the wider universe.

Mu Xiao explained that the Space Shelter’s defenses depended on its three million Small Universe Awakeners, then appealed for help from the Noah Civilization. Noah showed Li Chen footage of the Prite Civilization’s Star Destroyer Motherships annihilating a planet, leaving him with a clear demonstration of the threat facing Earth.

• Mu Xiao explained that the Space Shelter’s energy was already being used minimally and that its three million Small Universe Awakeners were essential to its defense.
• Mu Xiao sought assistance from Noah, hoping the Noah Civilization would provide energy or other aid against the Prite Civilization.
• Noah told Li Chen that he would show him the combat power of the Star Destroyer Motherships besieging Earth.
• The footage showed twelve Star Destroyer Motherships attack Alpha 776 Planet, destroy its defenses, and wipe out its civilization in under three minutes.
• The Prite forces swept the planet, killed its lifeforms, and loaded valuable materials onto transport ships.

Li Chen watched a mining ship from the Noah Civilization collect planets and learned that the Star Destroyer Motherships threatening Earth belonged to Noah’s own attack fleet. Noah told him to provide Energy Crystal Cores to help the Shadow Organization resist the Prite Civilization, and Li Chen used his remaining twenty-nine gift packs to amass a vast supply of energy and cores.

• Li Chen watched a 75-million-kilometer mining ship from the Noah Civilization load destroyed planets into its hull.
• Noah revealed that the twelve Star Destroyer Motherships shown in the video also belonged to the Noah Civilization.
• Noah told Li Chen that supplying Energy Crystal Cores to the Shadow Organization was the only way to prevent an early invasion by the Prite Civilization.
• Li Chen checked the mission to help the Shadow Organization and decided to use his remaining twenty-nine gift packs.
• Li Chen received Evolution Energy and billions of Energy Crystal Cores, with several gift packs triggering critical-strike bonuses.

Li Chen calculated that his Energy Crystal Core reserves could meet Mu Xiao’s request, then pretended to rely on Noah for help. Noah promised to provide 150 billion Energy Crystal Cores of every grade, leaving the Shadow Organization with enough resources to refine the required Evolution Energy.

• Li Chen learned from Noah that second- and third-generation Energy Crystal Cores contained 1.2 and 1.5 times the energy of first-generation cores, respectively.
• Li Chen calculated that his stored cores could cover Mu Xiao’s request and leave additional reserves.
• Li Chen told Mu Xiao, Mu Yao, and the other Elders that the Star-Level Shelter could not meet their needs, but that Noah might offer limited assistance.
• Li Chen secretly authorized Noah to promise 150 billion Energy Crystal Cores of every grade and pretended to wait for Noah’s decision.
• Noah announced the resource offer, and Mu Xiao asked whether it meant 150 billion cores of every type from Tier 14 down to Tier 1.

Li Chen agreed to supply the Shadow Organization with several trillion Energy Crystal Cores and arranged for its Transport Planes to help move them. As he prepared to return to the Star-Level Shelter and strengthen its defenses against the approaching Prite fleet, Mu Xiao explained why the Shadow Organization could not draw energy directly from Earth or other nearby celestial bodies.

• Li Chen explained that the Shadow Organization had paid a heavy price defending Earth and decided to provide additional Energy Crystal Cores.
• Mu Yao offered the Shadow Organization’s Transport Planes to help carry and escort the Evolution Resources, and Li Chen approved the plan.
• Mu Xiao’s side arranged three thousand Super Transport Planes, whose capabilities surprised Li Chen.
• Li Chen considered the threat posed by the six nearby Star Destroyer Motherships and the three hundred more powerful ships approaching Earth, then resolved to reinforce the Star-Level Shelter.
• Li Chen asked why the Shadow Organization did not use its Dyson Swarm to harvest planetary or stellar energy, and Mu Xiao replied that they could not use Earth or plunder energy from other Solar System bodies.

Li Chen pressed Mu Xiao about the Shadow Organization’s plans for the Solar System’s energy, and Mu Xiao admitted they had once intended to expand Earth Civilization but had reconsidered after the Doomsday Catastrophe. Li Chen left with the Energy Crystal Cores, while Mu Yao questioned whether Mu Xiao had ever considered replacing the Star-Level Shelter as Earth’s rulers.

• Li Chen questioned Mu Xiao about why the Shadow Organization had built platforms to harness celestial energy, and Mu Xiao explained the dangers of disrupting the Solar System.
• Li Chen asked whether the Shadow Organization had originally planned to maximize the use of planetary and stellar energy, and Mu Xiao admitted that it had pursued such plans before the Prite People invaded.
• Mu Xiao said the Doomsday Catastrophe had made the Shadow Organization reconsider its mission and focus on driving out the invaders and protecting Earth.
• Li Chen warned Mu Xiao that the Star-Level Shelter would become Earth’s sole ruler, then departed with the Shadow Organization’s Transport Plane fleet to carry the Energy Crystal Cores back.
• Mu Yao asked Mu Xiao whether he had considered the Shadow Organization replacing the Star-Level Shelter, and Mu Xiao answered with an inscrutable look.

Li Chen returned to the Star-Level Shelter with a massive fleet and arranged to transport 6.1 trillion Energy Crystal Cores, while Noah briefed him on the global situation. Mo Yue established a hidden camp at her crashed spaceship in the White-Headed Sam Empire and ordered her followers to investigate whether they could repair it.

• Li Chen led the Transport Planes back to the Star-Level Shelter, alarming radar stations around the world until they identified him and the aircraft as belonging to the shelter.
• Mo Yue revealed her crashed spaceship beneath a mountain in the White-Headed Sam Empire and made the surrounding area her temporary camp.
• Mo Yue ordered the Tyrannosaurus Rex Monster Decision Maker to send monsters into the spaceship and have the scientists assess whether they could repair it.
• Noah prepared 6.1 trillion Energy Crystal Cores, and Li Chen sent three hundred additional Super Transport Planes so eight hundred aircraft could carry them all.
• Li Chen asked Noah about the front lines, and Noah showed him a detailed account of events during his absence.
• Noah reported that the Star-Level Shelter had rescued over 15% of surviving humanity, while most remaining International Shelters had surrendered after several others were destroyed.

Li Chen addressed the world in a Global Livestream, asking survivors to gather at designated rescue points so the Star-Level Shelter could evacuate them. The chapter ended with survivors gaining hope and the enemy learning of his plan.

• The four major Empire Shelters and their allies repeatedly obstructed the Star-Level Shelter’s rescue operations and attacked its forces fighting Third Generation Mutated Zombies.
• Li Chen decided to prioritize gathering survivors for evacuation before launching a large-scale counterattack.
• Li Chen ordered Noah to start a Global Livestream and asked survivors worldwide to assemble at signal-marked rescue points.
• Survivors spread Li Chen’s message and waited for the Star-Level Shelter’s concentrated rescue operations.
• The enemy also watched Li Chen’s livestream.
