Leon learned that the force attacking Turgar was the Alphart Civilization and that God-Slaying Particles had failed against it, while Lin Fan judged the particles harmless and ordered attacks to continue. The Anti-Sun River Alliance redirected its fleets toward Jultus to join the Alpharts, leaving the fronts quieter as its forces secretly converged there.

• Leon confirmed that an Eleventh Order Dark Energy User had attacked Turgar and learned that God-Slaying Particles had not affected the suspected Alphart fleet.
• Leon requested reinforcements and more high-order Dark Energy Users from the Sun River Empire.
• Lin Fan identified the God-Slaying Particles from Lin Aotian's earlier explanation, declared them harmless to his forces, and ordered Sophia and Zi Ling to continue their attacks.
• Lin Fan ordered Wang Hai to divide the remaining five Nether Fleet attack groups among 500 billion Moy Race warships each and strike nearby star clusters.
• Altra ordered the Anti-Sun River Alliance to concentrate its forces toward Jultus and open a passage to the Alphart Civilization.
• The Anti-Sun River Alliance withdrew from its main offensive and shifted to defense while fleets from across the fronts secretly converged on Jultus.

Nevitt feared humanity’s intervention would upset the war’s balance and threaten the Fario Civilization, but Korlak argued that humanity’s powerful fleet was likely too small to decide the war alone. Korlak proposed that the Fario Civilization ally with the Sun River Empire again in exchange for a Dark Energy Spring, and Nevitt considered the deal feasible.

• Nevitt received Turgar’s report about the new force and worried that the return of the Alphart Civilization had shifted the war against the Sun River Empire.
• Korlak pointed out that Turgar’s report identified the warships as belonging to humanity, leading Nevitt to realize they were not the Alphart Civilization.
• Nevitt argued that humanity’s fleet could still change the war because it had easily crushed the Sun River Empire’s secret super fleet.
• Korlak reasoned that humanity probably had only a limited number of such powerful warships and proposed that the Fario Civilization negotiate an alliance with the Sun River Empire.
• Korlak suggested demanding a Dark Energy Spring, and Nevitt decided the proposal could work.

After the Alphart Civilization’s return threatened the Sun River Empire, Amlet agreed to restore its alliance with the Fario Civilization in exchange for a Dark Energy Spring. The chapter ended with a Sun River Empire fleet secretly entering Turgar through Fario-held territory, disguised as reinforcements.

• Nevitt agreed with the Fario Civilization’s leader to seek an alliance with Amlet and request a Dark Energy Spring.
• Sarak explained to Amlet that the Fario Civilization had no choice but to ally with the Sun River Empire after the Alphart Civilization returned.
• Nevitt offered an offensive and defensive alliance in exchange for one Dark Energy Spring, and Amlet agreed after demanding Fario cooperation in a surprise attack at Turgar.
• Amlet arranged for the Sun River Empire fleet to pass through Fario-held territory toward Turgar.
• A fleet emerged from a Black Hole Channel in the Rhine Galaxy Cluster, and the Divine Radiance Civilization and Gem Empire mistook it for Fario reinforcements when it was actually the Sun River Empire’s fleet.

Lin Fan revealed humanity’s connection to the Alphart Civilization and sought an alliance with Altra against the Sun River Empire. As Sun River fleets attacked Altra’s rear, evidence pointed toward the Fario Civilization’s involvement.

• Altra celebrated the anti-Sun River faction’s capture of the Kosol Star Cluster and welcomed Lin Fan, believing the Alphart Civilization had returned.
• Lin Fan explained that humanity was a branch of the Alphart Civilization and that the Alphart had left the Azure Dragon Universe to escape a threat to Energy Lifeforms.
• Altra learned that the Sun River Empire’s fleets had breached his rear defenses and were advancing toward the Lyra Galaxy.
• Altra suspected the Fario Civilization might be involved because a suspicious Black Hole Channel had recently appeared, but he doubted it had a reason to betray them.
• Altra’s subordinate reported that Sol and the other Fario members had left the Command Center that morning, claiming they were returning to their garrison.

After the Fario Civilization betrayed the Anti-Sun River Alliance, Lin Fan arranged a strategic withdrawal for the Divine Radiance Civilization and the Gem Empire, using the Federation’s Dark Energy Crystals to open Black Hole Channels. Leon expected the alliance to be trapped, but his forces detected massive Black Hole Channel activity in enemy territory.

• Altra told Lin Fan that the Fario Civilization had betrayed the alliance and let the Sun River Empire’s fleet into its rear.
• Lin Fan advised Altra to give up territory, withdraw the alliance’s fleets, and redeploy near the Federation instead of risking encirclement.
• Altra revealed that scarce Dark Energy Crystals limited the withdrawal, so Lin Fan offered to open ten Black Hole Channels for the retreat.
• Altra agreed to arrange evacuation points and thanked Lin Fan for the Federation’s help.
• Leon ordered his forces to maintain their standoff until the surprise attack fleet captured the enemy Command Center, believing the alliance could barely escape.
• A Sun River officer reported massive Black Hole Channel signatures in the alliance’s occupied territory.

Leon discovered that the Alliance had opened ten Black Hole Channels and was evacuating its fleets, exposing how badly the Sun River Empire’s intelligence had failed. After Leon and Sol realized the Alphart Civilization might be behind the channels, Leon ordered a retreat to defend the Liche Star Cluster, but learned its garrison was already under attack.

• Leon learned that ten Black Hole Channels had opened in Alliance territory and ordered the frontline fleets to attack while redirecting the raiding fleet.
• Leon discovered that the enemy’s defensive line consisted of empty Tier 90 warships and ordered his fleets to pursue the evacuating forces.
• Leon confronted Sol, who initially denied that the Alliance could have opened ten Black Hole Channels.
• Sol scanned the Turgar Supercluster and confirmed the ten reactions, then suggested the Alphart Civilization could have supplied the channels through the Jultus Star Cluster.
• Leon ordered the frontline fleets to retreat to the Liche Star Cluster and raised its alert level.
• Leon received word that the Liche garrison was under attack and had requested reinforcements.

Lin Fan's fleets crushed the defenders in the Liche Star Cluster and moved toward Kolt, while Leon prepared to use God-Slaying Particles against them. In Zero-Dimensional Space, Lin Hong continued transforming his energy as Farn tried to coax him into revealing what had changed.

• Lin Fan sent the Black Armor Fleet, Nether Fleet, and five trillion Moy Race warships into the Liche Star Cluster, where they destroyed most of its defending fleets before heading for Kolt.
• Lin Fan warned the Black Armor Fleet and Nether Fleet to withdraw if they remained exposed to God-Slaying Particles for more than half an hour.
• Leon trusted nearly a hundred God-Slaying Particle storage devices to stop the approaching fleets, unaware that the enemy was humanity rather than the Alphart Civilization.
• Lin Hong continued converting his energy into Zero while trapped with Farn in Zero-Dimensional Space, and Farn realized Lin Hong had begun evolving again.
• Lin Hong told Farn he would need at most another month to gain enough strength to break through the dimensional barrier, while Farn resorted to calling him “Big Brother Lin.”

Lin Hong told Farn that he was converting his energy into Zero Energy, prompting Farn to investigate Zero-Dimensional Space for the source of the transformation. At Kolt, the Moy Race and Nether fleets reinforced the Black Armor Fleet, but the Sun River Empire began spreading God-Slaying Particles across the battlefield, and Sophia ordered her forces to keep fighting as a countdown began.

• Lin Hong told Farn about Zero Energy but said he did not know how the conversion worked, and Farn began sensing Zero-Dimensional Space for clues.
• The Sun River Empire’s main fleet threatened to overwhelm the Black Armor Fleet until Moy Race reinforcements freed the Nether Fleet to join the battle.
• Commander Leon ordered the frontline fleet to disperse God-Slaying Particles over the enemy fleets at Kolt.
• The Moy Race fleet fought a much larger Tenth Order Civilization fleet while the Black Armor and Nether fleets suppressed the Sun River Empire’s main fleet.
• Sophia saw the God-Slaying Particles spread from more than ten points and ordered a thirty-minute countdown while telling her forces to keep attacking.

The Sun River Empire’s God-Slaying Particles failed to disable the enemy fleet, shaking its soldiers and leaving Leon close to despair. His adjutant helped him realize the enemy might not be the Alphart Civilization, and Leon concluded that the Fario Civilization’s defection made sense only if it knew the truth; he ordered an urgent report to Amles.

• The Sun River Empire’s fleet found that God-Slaying Particles did not affect the enemy, and its return fire weakened as soldiers began to panic.
• Leon received the battlefield report and feared the Empire had lost its only weapon against the Alphart Civilization.
• Leon’s adjutant pointed out that the enemy’s strength seemed weaker than the Alphart’s and that it fought using warships, unlike the energy-form Alphart.
• Leon realized that the enemy might not be the Alphart Civilization, despite its appearance and advanced technology.
• Leon and his adjutant reasoned that the Fario Civilization’s defection suggested it knew the enemy was not the Alphart and sought to preserve the balance of power while reclaiming its Dark Energy Spring.
• Leon ordered his adjutant to contact Amles immediately with the discovery.

Amles and Leon decided to gather overwhelming numbers to defeat the unknown civilization in Turgar. Leon ordered subordinate civilizations to delay the enemy as cannon fodder while Imperial fleets assembled, leaving the battered Kolt fleet set to withdraw once the Kosa Republic arrived.

• Amles learned from Leon that Nevitt had deceived the Sun River Empire and approved a plan to defeat the unknown civilization through a decisive battle backed by numerical superiority.
• Amles ordered two additional corps-level fleets, totaling six trillion warships, redeployed to Turgar despite the risk of losing territory elsewhere.
• Leon ordered Imperial fleets to abandon their missions and assemble, while nearby subordinate civilizations were sent to Kolt to delay the enemy at any cost.
• Leon ordered the Imperial fleet at Kolt to withdraw after the Kosa Republic took over the battlefield, and the adjutant reported that fourteen civilizations and 950,000 warships would arrive within twenty-four hours.

As the Sun River Empire gathered its fleets at Kolt, Lin Fan told Altra that the Federation could not win a frontal battle alone and asked for his help. Lin Fan revealed that the Federation had three peak-level Eleventh Order Dark Energy Manipulators and a 500-person Tenth Order legion, leaving Altra to consider the force they could bring to the battle.

• The Sun River Empire used fleets from nearby civilizations to hold up Lin Fan’s forces at Kolt while its main battleships withdrew to assemble.
• Altra warned Lin Fan that enemy fleets were gathering near Kolt, and Lin Fan explained that a quick assault on the star cluster would be difficult.
• Lin Fan proposed that the Alliance seize the Sun River Empire’s other star clusters while its forces were concentrated at Kolt and Serseral.
• Lin Fan asked Altra to join the battle at Kolt, and Altra cautioned that his strength alone could not change the outcome.
• Lin Fan revealed that the Federation had three peak-level Eleventh Order Dark Energy Manipulators and a 500-person Tenth Order Dark Energy Manipulator Legion.

Lin Fan prepared a surprise attack to destroy the Sun River Empire’s Black Hole Channels while its fleets gathered at Serseral. As the Solar Alliance prepared to strike, Leon dismissed reports of attacks on other star clusters and kept his focus on Kolt.

• Lin Fan told Altra that 504 elite Dark Energy Manipulators would attack Serseral through a Black Hole Channel and destroy the channels used by the Sun River Empire’s assembling fleets.
• Zi Ling and Zi Luo arrived, and Altra learned that Lin Fan was also a peak Eleventh Order Dark Energy Manipulator who had begun reaching an unknown realm beyond it.
• Altra organized the Alliance’s forces while Lin Fan’s bridge crew monitored the Black Hole Channels in Turgar and waited for an opening.
• At Serseral, Leon learned that the Sun River Empire’s fleets were assembling through five Black Hole Channels and that Kolt’s defenders could hold for a day.
• Leon dismissed the Alliance’s advances on Sun River Empire star clusters as unimportant and ordered his forces to concentrate on Kolt.

As the Sun River Empire gathered its fleets at Serseral, Lin Fan led a surprise mission through a Black Hole Channel to strike at the empire’s forces. He discussed humanity’s Dark Energy Mechs with Altra and offered the Divine Radiance Civilization finished products, but not the technology.

• Leon gathered fleets at Serseral through seven Black Hole Channels, confident that his forces could defend against humanity.
• Lin Fan ordered Zero Ship to open a Black Hole Channel from Jultes to Serseral and set off with the warship.
• After the ship entered Black Hole Cavity Space, Lin Fan left Liang Xue in command and went to the hangar to join the waiting pilots.
• Lin Fan told Altra that Dark Energy Mechs greatly boosted lower-order users and could raise them by a major realm.
• Altra asked whether the Divine Radiance Civilization could obtain the mech technology, and Lin Fan offered to provide finished products only.

Leon’s fleet detected an unknown warship emerging from a Black Hole Channel and failed to destroy it with a massive barrage. The Zero Ship revealed its omnidirectional absolute defense and deployed a formidable Dark Energy User force, while Leon resolved to rely on his overwhelming numbers.

• Leon confirmed the unknown Black Hole Channel was not being used by the scheduled reinforcement fleets and ordered his forces to destroy its exit.
• The enemy warship emerged, survived attacks from more than a hundred million ships, and was identified as the Zero Ship protected by an omnidirectional absolute defense barrier.
• The chapter explained that Lin Fan’s Zero Ship used Dark Energy Crystals to sustain the barrier, a technology Li Lizhi had developed under Lin Fan’s instruction not to worry about its cost.
• Leon’s subordinates reported that the enemy had deployed 500 Tenth Order and four Eleventh Order Dark Energy Manipulators, including Altra and three unidentified figures.
• Leon dismissed his fear and pointed to his fleet of more than 400 billion warships and the three reinforcement forces due in three hours.

Lin Fan’s forces drew the Sun River Empire’s fire while Liang Xue used the Federation’s particle-amplification technology to destroy a Black Hole Channel. Leon initially suspected an accident as fleets vanished into Black Hole Cavity Space, but a second channel destabilized and he ordered an urgent investigation into enemy involvement.

• Lin Fan directed Liang Xue to act after the enemy shifted its firepower toward his group of Dark Energy Users.
• Liang Xue ordered the Federation fleet to fire Black Hole Particle amplification beams at the seven Black Hole Channel exits.
• The first beam intensified the Black Hole Cavity Particles, triggering the universe’s rejection mechanism and destroying the channel.
• Leon learned that nearly a trillion warships had been lost inside Black Hole Cavity Space and questioned what had caused the channel to collapse.
• A second Black Hole Channel began destabilizing, and Leon ordered an immediate investigation into the unknown civilization’s possible attack.

Lin Fan’s forces destroyed all seven Black Hole Channels, exiling more than six trillion Sun River Empire warships and cutting off reinforcements to Turgar. As Divine Radiance and Gem Empire fleets arrived to overwhelm the remaining enemy forces, Lin Fan’s exhausted legion returned to the Hongmeng Warship to recover while he went back into battle.

• After the Sun River Empire detected unusual energy buildup before each channel’s destruction, Leon ordered his fleets to focus fire on the Hongmeng-class Warship.
• Lin Fan divided 504 Dark Energy Users into four teams to shield the warship while it destroyed the final two Black Hole Channels.
• Leon realized his forces in Turgar were trapped without reinforcements, and the empire’s demoralized troops lost much of their combat strength.
• Lin Fan led his Dark Energy Users through the weakened enemy fleet but refused to accept a Sun River Empire surrender because it would undermine the Federation’s plans.
• Fleets from the Divine Radiance Civilization and the Gem Empire arrived, giving their side overwhelming superiority and allowing Lin Fan’s exhausted legion to return to the Hongmeng Warship.
• Lin Fan ordered medical personnel to treat the collapsed Dark Energy Users, checked on Commander Altra, and then left to fight again.

After the Turgar Campaign, the Federation joined the anti-Sun River faction as the universe entered a temporary peace. Lin Fan then discovered that a strange signal was reaching him, while a mysterious darkness wiped out a primitive civilization, leaving him convinced that the anomaly threatened all humanity.

• Leon was captured after the Sun River Empire fleet at Turgar was destroyed, and the Federation and its allies secured the battle.
• The Divine Radiance Civilization and the Gem Empire invited the Federation to join their anti-Sun River faction, and Lin Fan accepted after consulting the Federation’s leaders.
• Amles ordered the Sun River faction’s frontlines to adopt a defensive posture while the weakened factions avoided large-scale warfare.
• A strange darkness enveloped the Blue River Civilization’s planet during its first spacecraft trial voyage, and every living being vanished when the darkness receded.
• Lin Fan told Liang Xue about the static-like sound he had been hearing and realized it might contain an attempted message addressed to him.
• Lin Fan contacted Li Lizhi and Wei, who agreed to come to Turgar and investigate the signal through scientific means.

Lin Fan and the Federation’s scientists investigated the strange message reaching him and suspected it came from Lin Hong in Zero-Dimensional Space. They summoned Jeram, whose dimensional research suggested he could project the mysterious life-form into their dimension, and he began preparing the experiment.

• Li Lizhi and Wei told Lin Fan that the message reaching him combined incompatible low- and high-dimensional characteristics.
• Lin Fan recalled Lin Aotian’s account of Lin Hong and Farn being dragged into Zero-Dimensional Space, and Li Lizhi suggested Lin Hong might be trying to contact him.
• Li Lizhi recommended James, also called Jeram, as a dimensional researcher who could help receive the full message, and Lin Fan ordered him to Turgar.
• Jeram arrived with his team, identified the source of the message as a life-form, and proposed projecting it into their dimension while its body remained in its own.
• Lin Fan approved the experiment, and Jeram returned to his Research Ship to prepare the equipment and system changes.

Jeram activated a device that let Lin Fan see and speak with Lin Hong, who had become a Zero-Dimensional Organism after transforming himself with energy from Zero-Dimensional Space. Lin Hong learned that the Alphart had left the Azure Dragon Universe and revealed that Farn had escaped as well.

• Jeram activated his sealed device, making Lin Hong’s otherwise incomprehensible form visible to Lin Fan and the others.
• Lin Hong explained how he had transformed into a Zero-Dimensional Organism and said the change was irreversible.
• Lin Hong told Lin Fan that he had searched for the Alphart but found their territory occupied by the Sun River Empire.
• Lin Fan explained the Sun River Empire’s betrayal, the war among the five civilizations, and the Alphart’s departure for the Black Cavity outpost.
• Lin Hong condemned the Sun River Empire and told Lin Fan that Farn had escaped.

Lin Hong revealed that Farn had escaped Zero-Dimensional Space and was devouring life to evolve, prompting Lin Fan to assign Jeram to find a way to stop him. Lin Hong also explained Farn’s connection to the Moy people, leaving Jeram stunned to learn that their historical god was an Alphart defector.

• Lin Hong explained that Farn had learned to convert energy in Zero-Dimensional Space and, like him, had become a multidimensional lifeform driven to evolve by devouring life.
• Li Lizhi reported that several Laplace civilizations had been wiped out, with their buildings intact but all life gone.
• Lin Hong identified Farn as responsible and warned that his continued evolution might soon make him stronger than Lin Hong.
• Lin Fan gave Jeram unrestricted access to Federation resources to develop a way to stop Farn, and Jeram said he already had some ideas.
• Lin Hong explained that Farn had once been part of the Moy people’s God-Making Plan and that the Moy people shared the Alphart bloodline.
• Jeram realized that the Farn worshipped as a god in Moy history was the Alphart defector, then asked Lin Hong for help.

As Farn continued destroying civilizations, Lin Hong sensed Farn’s approach toward the Nilkenia Super Galaxy Cluster. Lin Fan ordered an immediate evacuation of Nilkenia, leaving the Four Great Super Civilizations alarmed.

• Jeram failed to interfere with Lin Hong’s zero-dimensional existence, but Lin Hong sensed the Mirta Device, giving Jeram hope that his experiments were working.
• Farn devoured the Divine Fire Empire’s Capital Sphere and decided that powerful lifeforms, especially those in Biological Civilizations, would provide more evolutionary nourishment.
• Farn headed for the Nilkenia Super Galaxy Cluster, where his biological laboratory held many imprisoned races, including Kirin Caesar.
• Lin Hong sensed Farn’s destination and vanished from Jeram’s Research Ship to try to stop him.
• Jeram warned Lin Fan, who ordered everyone in Nilkenia to evacuate through thousands of Black Hole Channels, frightening the Four Great Super Civilizations.

Lin Fan ordered a massive Black Hole Channel evacuation of the Nilkenia Super Galaxy Cluster as Farn approached, while Jeram persuaded him to send the Mirta Device. Farn arrived at the former Holy Land Hailavi and confronted Lin Hong, insisting that he would protect the Azure Dragon Universe even if every civilization had to be sacrificed.

• Lin Fan spent more than ten thousand Dark Energy Crystals to open thousands of Black Hole Channels and evacuate Nilkenia, alarming the Four Great Civilizations.
• Jeram asked Lin Fan to send the Blue River Research Ship to Nilkenia so he could use the Mirta Device with Lin Hong to drive Farn away.
• Lin Fan allowed Jeram to go on the condition that he stay near the Black Hole Channel entrance and retreat at the first sign of danger.
• The Blue River entered a Black Hole Channel and headed for Nilkenia.
• Farn reached the former Holy Land Hailavi, found it empty, and confronted Lin Hong.
• Farn said he would preserve the Azure Dragon Universe even if every civilization had to be sacrificed, while Lin Hong refused to accept his methods.

Lin Hong continued fighting Farn while Jeram’s team deployed the Mirta Device to blur the dimensional boundary. After correcting the device’s parameters to account for the battle’s effects, Jeram activated its Fourth Directorate and left the outcome to Lin Hong.

• Farn tried to persuade Lin Hong that sacrificing most civilizations would protect the Azure Dragon Universe from the Black Mang Empire, but Lin Hong kept fighting him.
• Jeram and his team arrived through a Black Hole Channel and deployed the Mirta Device near the battle.
• The device’s first attempt to blur the dimensional boundary failed, and Jeram realized the fighters’ collisions had altered the boundary’s parameters.
• Jeram adjusted the parameters, and the device successfully stabilized the boundary-blurring process.
• Jeram activated the Mirta Device’s Fourth Directorate and watched the battle, saying the rest depended on Lin Hong.

Lin Hong and Jeram used the unfinished Mirta Device’s Fourth Directorate to frighten Farn away from the Federation’s territory. Lin Fan ordered the Federation to support Jeram’s project, leaving its completion as the key to confronting Farn in the future.

• Lin Hong recognized the energy from Jeram’s unfinished Mirta Device, and Farn fled after sensing it might threaten him.
• The Fourth Directorate collapsed, and Lin Hong appeared on Jeram’s research ship to confirm that Farn had been scared off.
• Lin Hong warned Jeram that the device needed to be perfected before Farn discovered its limitations.
• Liang Xue reported to Lin Fan that Farn had come to Nilkenia to accelerate his evolution by devouring imprisoned Biological Civilizations.
• Lin Fan ordered the three major research academies to send dimension researchers to support Jeram, and the Federation promised to establish a fourth major research academy if he completed the Mirta project.

Farn devoured more than thirty high-order technological civilizations but could not find biological civilizations to fuel his evolution. The chapter revealed that the Alphart had hidden those civilizations in a Minor Universe with Galon and Hypnos, where Hypnos demonstrated a new ability that could reach into other spaces.

• Farn devoured more than thirty civilizations in the Azure Dragon Universe and searched unsuccessfully for powerful Biological Civilizations to consume.
• The chapter revealed that Lin Aotian and the Alphart councilors had hidden Galon, Hypnos, and captured Biological Civilizations in a concealed Minor Universe.
• Galon told Hypnos he could not leave the Minor Universe until he reached the Eleventh Order, since Super Civilizations could capture him.
• Hypnos showed Galon his new Tenth Order ability to connect to other spaces and retrieve materials, then pulled something from a rift.
