Wei ordered Aliya, whose body retained a faint life force despite severe cellular mutation, transported for study under Knox Particle isolation. At Heres, Lin Yu’s forces crushed fleets emerging from the current, leaving Latis trapped between obeying Galon’s order to fight humanity and facing Galon’s punishment.

• Wei examined Aliya’s condition and ordered her placed in a Knox Particle Isolation Device for study, with an entire galaxy to be sealed around her if she recovered.
• Ao arranged for Aliya’s body to be loaded into the Crystal Coffin and taken to an unmanned research ship for isolation treatment.
• Lin Yu’s seven Nether Legions forced the angels and elves to withdraw and destroyed Silas Empire fleets as they emerged at Heres.
• The Sallamo Republic’s fleet remained trapped in the current behind the Silas Empire, knowing it would face the same defeat once it emerged.
• Latis realized that the Zilun Empire could not commit enough fleets against humanity and that he either had to continue Galon’s campaign or wait for Galon to punish him.

Galon revealed that he had sent the Silas Empire and Sallamo Republic against humanity to weaken the Zilun Empire and use humanity as a tool to eventually eliminate it. He sent Hypnos to pressure Latis into committing the Zilun fleet to the fight, and Hypnos confronted Latis over his failure to attack.

• Latis struggled to choose how much of the Zilun Empire's fleet to send against humanity, fearing both defeat and unrest at home.
• Galon explained to Hypnos and Douglas that he expected the Silas Empire and Sallamo Republic to fail and intended to use humanity to wear down the Zilun Empire.
• Galon ordered Hypnos to pressure Latis to advance against humanity, and Hypnos left to carry out the order.
• Hypnos arrived at the Nirnikai Civilization Council building and accused Latis of withholding the Zilun Empire's forces while the Silas Empire and Sallamo Republic fought humanity.
• Hypnos demanded that the Zilun Empire attack to avenge Hegg and reverse the current disadvantage.

After defeating the Silas Empire and Sallamo Republic fleets at Heres, the Federation began clearing the wreckage and building a massive defense network to secure the Current exit. Lin Fan also prepared a scouting mission through the Iskael Node, with Lin Yu appointed to command it.

• Latis agreed to send eighty percent of the empire's fleet to the Viers Supercluster after Hypnos pressured him, gaining three years to suppress opposition at home.
• The Federation annihilated the Sallamo Republic fleet at Heres, where wreckage from both defeated Ninth Order Civilizations filled the system.
• More than a thousand companies began clearing warship wreckage at Heres under Federation inspection and compensation rules.
• Lin Fan oversaw plans for a vast starry-sky defense network at Heres, including more than ten thousand disposable Focused Dark Energy Cannon platforms.
• The Federation dispatched micro fleets to Iskael and decided to scout the Bosnia Supercluster beyond the Current, appointing Lin Yu commander of the 3S-class mission.

A Federation fleet led by Lin Yu entered the Bosnia Supercluster and discovered that the Hilderic Star Cluster was controlled by the Crete Empire, a Seventh Order Technological Civilization. Lin Yu ordered the fleet to hide and gather intelligence, leaving the Crete garrison baffled by the fleet’s disappearance.

• The chapter described the Bosnia Supercluster’s 123 rival civilizations and the barriers that sealed its three Cosmic Current entrances, forcing civilizations to compete within the supercluster.
• A fleet of fewer than a hundred thousand warships emerged from the current into the Loert Star Domain, where the Crete Empire’s garrison demanded its affiliation and purpose.
• Lin Yu was surprised to find a Seventh Order Technological Civilization controlling the region and ordered the fleet not to respond, to activate stealth mode, and to infiltrate Crete warships for intelligence.
• The fleet vanished from every detection method, prompting the Crete garrison to search the area and question whether its systems had malfunctioned.
• The technical team infiltrated a warship database and obtained basic Star Chart information, and Lin Yu ordered them to stop before they risked alerting the Crete Empire.

Lin Yu’s fleet gathered intelligence on the Crete Empire and headed for its capital system to intimidate the Seventh Order civilization into becoming a Federation subordinate. The hundred thousand warships emerged from hyperspace near the capital planet, where Crete’s military prepared to identify them.

• Lin Yu learned that the Crete Empire controlled the Hilderic Star Cluster and that its capital was in the Losak System, reinforcing his conclusion that the Bosnia Supercluster was not the Purgatory Creatures’ lair.
• Lin Yu ordered his fleet to depart for the Losak System, intending to use intimidation rather than war to make Crete a Federation bridgehead.
• The fleet arrived in the Crete Empire’s prosperous Capital Sphere, where civilians mistook its hyperspace arrival for a returning military fleet.
• Salens, commander of the fleet stationed at the capital planet, discovered that no fleet was scheduled to arrive and ordered his forces to identify the approaching ships.
• Salens’s subordinates reported that the unknown fleet was coming.

A fleet of one hundred thousand unknown warships appeared in the Crete Empire’s Capital Sphere, while Emperor Charlie Crete’s ministers concluded that a previously vanished fleet might belong to a civilization far more advanced than theirs. Charlie recognized the ships in the new footage and reacted with alarm.

• Lin Yu admired the prosperous Crete Capital Sphere aboard the Melova and ordered his crew to request talks with the Empire’s upper echelons.
• Minister of Science Orlando told Charlie Crete that the vanished fleet was real and likely used stealth technology from an Eighth or Ninth Order Civilization.
• Charlie learned that an unidentified fleet had appeared in the Capital Sphere and approved Salens’s plan to capture its hundred thousand warships.
• Charlie asked to see footage of the unknown ships, and the conference hall gasped when it appeared.

Lin Yu met with Charlie after the Federation fleet appeared in the Bosnia Supercluster and demanded that the Crete Empire either fight the Federation or become an affiliated civilization. Charlie had locked down the Capital Sphere before the talks, and the chapter left him stunned by Lin Yu’s ultimatum.

• Charlie ordered Serens to stop trying to capture the unknown fleet and arrange talks with its leader after learning it claimed to be an Eighth Order civilization, the Human Federation.
• Charlie considered whether the Federation was trapped in the Bosnia Supercluster and prepared to cooperate with it or surrender if necessary.
• Charlie locked down the Capital Sphere, detaining nearby spacecraft, closing its Super Star Gates, and jamming civilian communications.
• A day later, Lin Yu met Charlie in a virtual venue and declared that the Bosnia Supercluster belonged to the Federation.
• Lin Yu offered the Crete Empire a choice between becoming an affiliated civilization and fighting the Federation, leaving Charlie stunned.

Lin Yu sent a team to investigate the Current Mouth after Charlie hinted at an abnormality, and they found a vast Dark Energy barrier sealing the route to the Viers Supercluster. The discovery suggested the puppet master might be a Tenth Order civilization, leaving Charlie fearing the Crete Empire could never escape its control as Lin Yu asked whether the barrier could be broken.

• Charlie asked Lin Yu whether he had found anything abnormal at the Current Mouth, so Lin Yu ordered Bai Xuan to send warships to investigate.
• Bai Xuan dispatched ten Nether Class Warships carrying B-Class Dark Energy Users and experts, who quickly reached the Loert Star Domain.
• Jiang Hao's team discovered a Dark Energy barrier covering the Current Mouth and judged that deploying one of such scale required a Tenth Order civilization or technology like the Federation's Dark Energy Auxiliary Calculation Technology.
• Jiang Hao reported the findings to Lin Yu, while Charlie was shaken by the Federation's speed and the possibility that a Tenth Order civilization controlled the passage.
• Lin Yu asked whether the Federation could break the barrier sealing the current.

Lin Yu explained that the Federation could bring in another S-Class Dark Energy User to help break the barrier, leaving Charlie to reconsider his options. After reading the Federation’s subordinate civilization terms, Charlie agreed on behalf of the Crete Empire to join the Federation.

• Jiang Hao reported that Lin Yu had only a 2% chance of breaking the barrier alone, but that another S-Class Dark Energy User could raise the odds to 97%.
• Charlie realized the Federation was powerful enough to overcome the blockade and that Lin Yu had not needed to scheme against him.
• Lin Yu showed Charlie the Federation’s subordinate civilization framework, which offered contribution points in exchange for resources, technology, and other benefits.
• Charlie asked whether the terms were genuine, and Lin Yu confirmed the Federation had no need to fabricate them.
• Charlie agreed for the Crete Empire to join the Federation’s subordinate civilization system.

Lin Yu learned that the Bosnia Supercluster was a sealed experiment designed to cultivate powerful civilizations, but its progress had stalled after the survivors reached the Seventh Order. At the Alphart Civilization’s council, Lin Aotian revealed that God-Making Plans One and Three had converged, leaving the council stunned by the possibility that Plan One’s civilization had advanced from the Third Order to the Sixth Order in a century.

• Lin Yu learned that the Bosnia Supercluster had been created to pit civilizations against one another, but the surviving Seventh Order Civilizations had avoided large-scale war and stagnated.
• Lin Aotian and eight council members gathered at the center of the universe, where he lamented Lin Hong’s choice to drag Farn into Zero-Dimensional Space.
• Lin Aotian told the council that Plan Three in the Bosnia Supercluster had encountered an unexpected development and might require intervention.
• A council member asked what had happened, and Lin Aotian announced that God-Making Plans One and Three had converged.
• The council members doubted that Plan One’s Third Order civilization could have crossed two Superclusters in a century, then considered that it might have reached the Sixth Order.

Lin Aotian revealed that humanity had become an Eighth Order Technological Civilization with Dark Energy capabilities rivaling a Tenth Order civilization. The councilors unanimously chose to abandon Plan Three and leave humanity’s advance through the Bosnia Supercluster undisturbed.

• Lin Aotian explained that Plan Three would lead its strongest civilizations into another survival-of-the-fittest stage after they broke through the current blockade.
• Lin Aotian told the councilors that humanity had reached the Eighth Order and could rival a Tenth Order civilization in Dark Energy.
• Lin Aotian warned that humanity’s arrival in the Bosnia Supercluster would likely disrupt Plan Three and asked whether the council should intervene.
• The councilors agreed that humanity had the best chance of reaching a God-tier Civilization and that Plan Three had made too little progress to justify preserving it.
• Lin Aotian announced that Plan Three of the God-Making Plan was completely abandoned.

The Crete Empire faced an invasion by an allied force of sixteen civilizations, while Lin Yu assured Charlie that a five-billion-ship Federation fleet would defeat them. The Federation fleet arrived in the Loert Star Domain, and its vice commander, Lin Kexin, prepared to gather the incoming ships before proceeding to the rendezvous point.

• Sixteen civilizations led by the Olson Union formed an allied force of more than thirty trillion warships after the Crete Empire refused to release their detained trade fleets.
• Lin Yu told the anxious Charlie that the Federation would strike first with a five-billion-warship fleet and instructed him to prepare forces to follow and clear the aftermath.
• A Crete Empire general reported that Federation ships had begun arriving through the ocean current, and Charlie ordered his border generals to join a virtual conference for combat assignments.
• Lin Kexin arrived in the Loert Star Domain aboard the new Luoshen and ordered the Dauntless Fleet to wait for its follow-up ships before heading to the rendezvous point.

Charlie told the Crete Empire’s Three Great Generals that the Human Federation would lead the fight against the sixteen-civilization coalition, while the Empire prepared to occupy territory and manage the aftermath. Lin Kexin’s fleet joined Lin Yu, and he assigned Zi Luo to gain experience in the coming interstellar war before she helped break the Current Mouth blockade.

• Charlie informed the Three Great Generals that a coalition of sixteen civilizations planned to attack the Crete Empire with three trillion warships.
• Charlie showed the generals the agreement with the Human Federation, convincing them that the Federation would fight while the Empire prepared to take territory.
• Lin Kexin’s five Dreadnought Legions passed through the Current Mouth and joined Lin Yu at the rendezvous point.
• Lin Kexin teased Lin Yu and Zi Luo about defeating the coalition with only two warships, but Lin Yu said they would avoid acting unless necessary.
• Lin Yu told Zi Luo to accompany the fleet and experience the coming interstellar war before addressing the Current Mouth blockade.

Lin Fan planned for Zi Luo to gain combat experience on selected battlefields rather than join the entire campaign. Meanwhile, the Olson Union-led fleet assembled to invade the Crete Empire, but an unknown force appeared as the fleet prepared to attack.

• Lin Fan decided that Zi Luo would be sent to selected battlefields to master her new power without fighting in the entire campaign.
• More than two trillion main-force warships from sixteen civilizations gathered in the Ranok System under Olson Union commander Sanhe Sen.
• The civilizations agreed on a preliminary plan to attack the Crete Empire after days of negotiation.
• Sanhe Sen received an emergency report that an unidentified fleet of about five billion warships had arrived through Hyperspace Navigation.
• Sanhe Sen ordered the alert fleets to intercept the unknown force and placed the entire United Fleet on Level One combat readiness.

Sanhe Sen used the Crete Empire’s surprise attack to unite the assembled civilizations and ordered General Paris to encircle its fleet. Meanwhile, Zi Luo prepared a wide-area Dark Energy attack against an approaching enemy force, leaving the battle’s outcome unresolved.

• Sanhe Sen announced that the Crete Empire had attacked with five billion warships, prompting the assembled commanders to demand retaliation.
• Sanhe Sen revealed that one hundred billion warships had been assigned to sentry duty and showed projections of the unfamiliar Crete fleet.
• The assembled commanders speculated that the Crete Empire had found advanced warships in ancient ruins and asked General Paris to capture some for study.
• Lin Kexin ordered the Tarak to strike an approaching fifty-billion-ship enemy Super Attack Group, while Zi Luo prepared to deploy aboard the Vermilion Bird.
• Zi Luo used the Alpha Auxiliary Calculation Device to unleash a Diffusive Dark Energy Irradiation Wave toward the enemy fleet.

Zi Luo’s Dark Energy strike devastated the United Fleet, while Sanhe Sen rallied its commanders by claiming the Crete Empire had only one such warship. As Sanhe Sen planned an encirclement, Zi Luo launched Vermilion Bird into the disordered fleet and opened fire with its Scatter-Type Dark Energy Rapid-Fire Cannon.

• Zi Luo’s Wide-Area Full Coverage Strike destroyed a vast section of the United Fleet, costing it at least 15 billion warships.
• Zi Luo ordered her forces to cover the Dauntless Fleet and forbade them from advancing without her orders.
• Sanhe Sen reassured the shaken commanders by claiming the Crete Empire had only one warship capable of such an attack.
• Sanhe Sen ordered the United Fleet to attack and assigned sixteen encirclement fleets to surround and destroy the special warship.
• Zi Luo piloted Vermilion Bird toward the disorganized alert fleet and unleashed a continuous barrage from its Scatter-Type Dark Energy Rapid-Fire Cannon.

Zi Luo and Lin Kexin trapped Paris's fleet in a converging field of fire while Sanhe Sen sent reinforcements toward the battlefield. The chapter ended as a second Diffusive Dark Energy Irradiation Wave engulfed more than ninety percent of Paris's remaining warships.

• Zi Luo used Vermilion Bird to bombard Paris's alert fleet, while Paris ordered his warships to close the distance and attack.
• Paris learned that the Crete Empire fleet had flanked him, and its first barrage destroyed at least one billion warships.
• Sanhe Sen ordered one hundred billion nearby warships to reinforce the alert fleet and prepare a pincer attack.
• Lin Kexin asked Zi Luo to help force Paris's fleet to converge, and Zi Luo agreed before withdrawing according to plan.
• Zi Luo and Lin Kexin formed a cylindrical fire net that herded Paris's warships into its center, where a second irradiation wave engulfed more than ninety percent of his remaining fleet.

Sanhe Sen misjudged Tarak’s withdrawal and ordered the United Fleet to close the gap, while Lin Kexin led the Dauntless Fleet into a direct engagement. The chapter ended with the Dauntless Fleet repeatedly striking the advancing enemy from beyond its firing range, beginning the operation to annihilate the United Fleet.

• Sanhe Sen realized the Super-giant Combat Vehicle had attacked the screening fleet and ordered an encirclement group to cut Tarak off from Crete’s other fleets.
• Tarak recovered the Vermilion Bird, opened a Hyperspace Window, and withdrew, prompting Sanhe Sen to redirect the encirclement group to block the enemy’s breakout route.
• Lin Kexin ordered the Dauntless Fleet to activate its Dark Energy Shields and advance without changing formation.
• After the United Fleet entered within 3 AU, Lin Kexin ordered the Dauntless Fleet to concentrate fire on the center of its formation.
• The Dauntless Fleet destroyed more than one billion United Fleet warships in its first volley and fired again ten seconds later from beyond the enemy’s 2 AU range.

The Dauntless Fleet withstood the United Fleet’s massive Spatial Attack and countered with Dark Energy fire that the Seventh Order warships could not stop. Sanhe Sen realized the enemy’s losses were negligible and that the United Fleet had at most five hours before it was destroyed.

• Sanhe Sen led the United Fleet through thirty minutes of Dark Energy attacks, losing more than three hundred billion warships before reaching firing range.
• The United Fleet unleashed a concentrated Spatial Attack on the Dauntless Fleet, creating severe spatial turbulence that blocked observation.
• The Dauntless Fleet fired back through the turbulence, destroying many United Fleet warships with accurately targeted attacks.
• Sanhe Sen learned that the Dauntless Fleet’s firepower density had not decreased and that the turbulence prevented the United Fleet from attacking it with Spatial weapons.
• The Dauntless Fleet launched another attack, and Sanhe Sen estimated that his fleet would be wiped out within five hours.

After the United Fleet was destroyed in the Ranok System, Revis’s Imperial forces arrived to secure the battlefield while Lin Kexin led the Dauntless Fleet to attack the remaining United Fleet forces. Alarmed by the Crete Empire’s apparent strength, Anit called for the seventh Overlord-level Summit.

• Revis and the two other Grand Generals arrived in the Ranok System and saw the wreckage of more than two trillion United Fleet warships.
• Lin Kexin told Revis to secure the battlefield and territory while her fleet attacked the United Fleet’s remaining forces in six satellite systems.
• Revis agreed to handle the aftermath, and the Dauntless Fleet split up to clear five satellite systems as the Nether Battleships took the sixth.
• Revis ordered hundreds of billions of Imperial warships to clear the shipping lanes within three days.
• Anit concluded that the United Fleet had been annihilated and summoned every overlord-level civilization to the seventh Overlord-level Summit.

After the Crete Empire’s mysterious fleet annihilated the Sixteen Civilization United Fleet, Anit convened the seventh Overlord-level Summit and pushed the gathered civilizations to form a united expedition. The leaders ultimately agreed to send all their main-force fleets against the Crete Empire.

• Anit told the gathered leaders that the Crete Empire’s five-billion-warship fleet had destroyed more than two trillion ships in the Ranok System.
• The leaders voted on forming a Bosnia United Fleet, with seventy-eight civilizations initially supporting the expedition, twenty-one opposing it, and twenty-three undecided.
• Anit warned the opposing and undecided leaders that they had to join or be destroyed before the expedition began.
• As wavering and opposing leaders changed their votes, all 122 civilizations agreed to join the largest allied force in Bosnia’s history.
• Anit ordered every civilization to assemble and deploy all of its main-force fleets.

Lin Yu and Charlie learned that 122 civilizations had formed a vast united fleet, and Charlie suspected Anit had a secret weapon. When Anit contacted the Human Federation, Lin Yu discovered that the Heisen Republic leader had assembled the fleet not to attack him, but to present a pledge of allegiance.

• Charlie warned Lin Yu that the united fleet had more than a hundred trillion warships and that Anit might possess a weapon capable of threatening the Federation.
• A communication request arrived from an untraceable location in the Bosnia Supercluster, and Lin Yu ordered it connected.
• Anit appeared on the communication and realized that the Crete Empire had submitted to an advanced civilization led by Lin Yu.
• Lin Yu questioned Anit about assembling the civilizations to destroy him, and Anit said he had prepared a pledge of allegiance.

Anit explained that he had gathered the United Fleet as an offering to secure the Heisen Republic’s survival, after realizing the Federation was far too powerful to defeat. Lin Yu offered the Republic the same subordinate-civilization agreement as the Crete Empire, leaving Anit one chance to accept.

• Anit told Lin Yu that the Republic had found the working communication device in an ancient civilization outpost ruin and used it to contact the Federation.
• Lin Yu suggested the ruin belonged to at least a Ninth Order Civilization, startling Anit and Charlie with what that implied about the Federation.
• Anit admitted that he had gathered the United Fleet as a letter of allegiance because he knew resistance was futile.
• Anit asked Lin Yu to accept the Heisen Republic’s surrender so its civilization could survive.
• Lin Yu sent Anit the Subordinate Civilization Agreement and offered the Republic the same terms as the Crete Empire, with one chance to accept.

Anit accepted Lin Yu’s subordinate civilization agreement and joined the plan to conquer the Bosnia Supercluster. As the United Fleet prepared to attack the Crete Empire, the Heisen Republic secretly assembled with the Crete fleet and began a coordinated operation.

• Anit read the agreement’s terms, accepted subordination to Lin Yu, and discussed how to conquer the Bosnia Supercluster.
• The native civilizations assembled a fleet of 130 trillion warships and divided it into ten Super Attack Groups to surround the Crete Empire’s Hilderic Star Cluster.
• The Third Super Attack Group planned to pin down the Crete Empire’s fleet while the other groups attacked its home base.
• Selavio and other representatives complained that the Heisen Republic had not arrived at the assembly point, unaware that more than a trillion warships were gathered nearby.
• Revis told Solomon the operation could begin, and Solomon ordered the markers in the Lanling Star Cluster activated and the warships to enter Hyperspace Navigation.

Manlafu Particles disabled the Zero-Point Energy systems across the Third Super Attack Group, forcing its crews to abandon ship. As escape pods filled space, enemy warships emerged from Hyperspace Windows and attacked the stranded fleet.

• A warship’s core energy system failed, and its technical team found Manlafu Particles attached to the Zero-Point Energy system.
• The captain learned that a device in supplies from the Heisen Republic had dispersed the particles, and that the warship could not contact other ships or launch its fighters and Assault Ships.
• The captain ordered everyone except the bridge crew to evacuate in escape pods, and crews across the Third Super Attack Group abandoned their warships.
• Countless Hyperspace Windows opened, and enemy warships emerged and fired on the Third Super Attack Group.
