Lin Fan learned more about the Life Transcendence Device and suspected that Luo Li had erased the Kado Universe’s God-tier Civilization to hide it. He sent the device through an Escape Module to the Azure Dragon Universe, where the unexplained passage triggered a massive military mobilization.

• Lin Fan learned that the device had four Escape Modules and that one had been used to send it to the Kado Universe over five billion years earlier.
• The Mainframe identified Luo Li as the device’s previous commander and said records of her actions in the Kado Universe had been manually deleted.
• Lin Fan suspected Luo Li had destroyed the Kado Universe’s God-tier Civilization to conceal the device, though he could not determine why.
• Lin Fan ordered Escape Module Two to open a Black Hole Cavity Transit Channel to the Azure Dragon Universe, then authorized the device’s main body to enter it.
• The Minkorey Republic reported the passage to Lin Yu, prompting the Federation and other forces to gather around its exit, including fifteen Black Hole Lifeform Guardians.

Lin Fan returned to the Azure Dragon Universe and warned its leaders that the Black Hole Cavity Cleanup Plan had begun, with seventeen Sweeper Civilizations involved. Meanwhile, the Noreya Empire received a divine command to wage war on the Heretics, setting a wider conflict across the Black Hole Cavity in motion.

• Lin Fan emerged from the Black Hole Cavity Transit Channel to find the Azure Dragon Universe’s forces surrounding its exit.
• Emperor Milantes told the Noreya Empire’s court that God had ordered the extermination of Heretics, and the empire began a holy war.
• The Black Hole Cavity Consciousness drove the Noreya Empire and sixteen other civilizations toward war against the Azure Dragon Universe.
• Lin Fan met with the Federation and elder civilizations’ leaders, who resented his actions before hearing his report.
• Lin Fan explained the Life Transcendence Device, the Black Hole Cavity Cleanup Plan, and the threat posed by seventeen Sweeper Civilizations, alarming the leaders.

Lin Fan explained the Life Transcendence Device’s limits and the three escape plans Luo Li had devised for the Great Xia Federation, then revealed that it contained the Federation’s entire history and technology. As Li Lizhi and Wei investigated a concealed chamber requiring Lin Fan’s highest authorization, something inside the device woke and whispered his name.

• Lin Fan told Lin Zhen and Lin Aotian that the device could detect Cleansing Civilizations within range but could not locate them, and confirmed the Black Mang Empire was not one.
• Lin Fan described Luo Li’s plans to conquer the Black Hole Cavity, blast an opening out of it, or help individuals escape, noting that only the last plan had been attempted and its outcome was unknown.
• Lin Fan revealed that the device also held the Great Xia Federation’s history and technological database, and said Li Lizhi, Wei, and others had been granted access.
• Li Lizhi and Wei found a concealed chamber in the device’s structural diagram, but the Mainframe said only the Highest Commander could learn what was inside.
• The query triggered an alarm, and a pair of eyes opened in the isolated chamber before a voice murmured, “Lin Fan. Is that you?”

Lin Fan investigated a hidden space inside the Life Transcendence Device and found a sealed structure that recognized him as a descendant of the Great Xia Federation. A recording of Luo Li’s voice identified him, and his response opened a passage into the structure.

• Li Lizhi estimated that analyzing the Great Xia Federation database would take at least ten years, and Lin Fan told her to proceed carefully.
• Li Lizhi told Lin Fan that she and Wei had discovered a hidden space in the device that required Supreme Commander authority to investigate.
• Lin Fan asked the Mainframe about the hidden area, learned that Luo Li had established it, and followed the marked route there.
• Lin Fan found a seamless black structure whose scan identified him as Lin Fan and played a recording of Luo Li asking if he was there.
• Lin Fan answered Luo Li, and a section of the structure vanished to reveal a passage inside.

Lin Fan entered the Life Transcendence Device and found Luo Li, the girl he had believed died in the car accident that sent him to another life. After she briefly awakened and recognized him, Lin Fan brought her aboard the Hongmeng Warship for medical care and prepared to explain everything to Liang Xue.

• Lin Fan recalled confessing to Luo Li in 2020 and losing her in the car accident before walking through the passageway.
• Lin Fan found Luo Li in a white room, and the revival program began after it confirmed his identity.
• Luo Li briefly awakened, told Lin Fan she had finally found him, and then fell asleep again as her body recovered.
• Li Lizhi and Wei detected Lin Fan returning with a second life signal, and Lin Fan ordered medical experts to the Hongmeng Warship.
• Elder Xu said Luo Li's bodily functions were recovering rapidly, and Lin Fan asked Liang Xue to come with him.

Lin Fan told Liang Xue that he had transmigrated into the body of the Lin Fan she had loved, then went to see Luo Li after she awakened. Liang Xue accepted their two hundred years together and sent him to her, and Luo Li greeted him after waiting for tens of billions of years.

• Lin Fan told Liang Xue about his death, transmigration, and how he discovered the Great Xia Federation through the device he had carried through Black Hole Cavity Space.
• Liang Xue asked to be alone to process the revelation that the Lin Fan she had married was not the one who had made his original promise to her.
• Elder Xu told Lin Fan that Luo Li had awakened far sooner than expected and had asked for him.
• Liang Xue told Lin Fan that they had still been husband and wife for two hundred years and urged him to go see Luo Li.
• Luo Li examined the medical room, waited for Lin Fan, and greeted him when he arrived.

Luo Li fell in love with Lin Fan, but he died in a car accident that revealed clues to his transmigration. Believing she could find him again, she accelerated Great Xia’s technological progress and helped it reach space.

• Luo Li, a transmigrant from the Human Federation, secretly advanced Great Xia’s technology while remaining at university because she sensed something important awaited her there.
• Luo Li met Lin Fan, who resembled her former-life idol, and after half a year of mutual observation, accepted his confession.
• On their first date, a car struck Luo Li and Lin Fan; Luo Li survived, but Lin Fan died.
• Luo Li studied abnormal data from the accident and concluded that Lin Fan’s life source had passed through a temporal interlayer into the Human Federation.
• Luo Li developed genetic enhancement and Brain Development Potions, then helped Great Xia build its first spacecraft and leave its homeworld.

Luo Li led the Great Xia Federation from its homeworld to dominance over the Yanhuang Universe, eventually becoming its first Black Hole Lifeform. After locating her position in time, she discovered that she had arrived 38 billion years before Lin Fan’s era, long before the Azure Dragon Universe or humanity existed.

• Great Xia advanced rapidly, founded the Great Xia Federation, and brought most homeworld nations into its subsidiary civilization system.
• After gathering resources from the Asteroid Belt, Luo Li helped develop warp technology, and the Federation began exploring other star systems.
• Over thousands of years, the Federation rose to Ninth Order status, then defeated a Super Civilization and seized its Dark Energy Spring before isolating itself to collect more Dark Energy Crystals.
• Three million years later, Luo Li finished analyzing the Black Hole data, became the Yanhuang Universe’s first Black Hole Lifeform, and led the Federation to unify the universe.
• Luo Li discovered that her Black Hole time point was 38 billion years earlier than Lin Fan’s, before the Azure Dragon Universe and humanity had been born.

Luo Li led the Great Xia Federation through rapid expansion, a devastating war against the Black Hole Cavity’s twenty-seven Cleansing Civilizations, and the mass transcendence of its people. Remaining behind to wait for Lin Fan, she hid in the Kado Universe and entered hibernation for five billion years.

• Luo Li developed Black Hole Cavity transit technology, allowing the Great Xia Federation to expand to more than ten thousand universes.
• The Yanhuang Universe developed a consciousness and launched the Black Hole Cavity Cleanup Plan, sending twenty-seven God-tier Cleansing Civilizations against humanity.
• After three billion years of war left humanity near extinction, Luo Li created the Life Transcendence Device, and just over three thousand Great Xia clansmen successfully transcended.
• Luo Li stayed behind, concealed herself in an isolated space with the Federation’s database, and traveled to the Kado Universe.
• Luo Li spread a virus through the Kado Universe to eliminate its God-tier Civilization, then entered hibernation for five billion years while waiting for Lin Fan.

Luo Li told Lin Fan that she had originally been Ling Shuang, Li Lizhi’s long-dead disciple from the Azure Dragon Universe’s Human Federation. Lin Fan brought Li Lizhi to meet her, and Luo Li revealed herself to her former teacher.

• Lin Fan searched the Federation records and found that Ling Shuang had died in an experimental accident that killed seventeen people.
• Luo Li confirmed she had been Ling Shuang and asked Lin Fan about the Federation’s progress toward becoming a God-tier Civilization.
• Lin Fan invited Li Lizhi to the medical room and introduced Luo Li as her old acquaintance.
• Li Lizhi remembered Ling Shuang, her gifted first disciple, and grieved over her death.
• Luo Li embraced Li Lizhi and told her, "It's okay, Teacher. I'm back!"

Luo Li helped the Federation complete its advancement into a God-tier Civilization by overseeing the first successful test of a Black Hole Engine and Barrier. Three months later, the Azure Dragon Alliance announced that the first God-tier Civilization in the Azure Dragon Universe had been born.

• After Luo Li became the Federation’s fifth Strategic Scientist, its scientific community made rapid breakthroughs under her guidance.
• In Federation Year 259, Luo Li, Li Lizhi, Wei, and the Federation’s scientists gathered in the Viers Supercluster to test the Black Hole Engine and Barrier.
• Luo Li directed Test Ship One through a one-way Black Hole Channel into Black Hole Cavity Space, where it successfully completed system checks and combat-speed trials.
• The Federation continued testing its black hole technology for three months without incident.
• The Azure Dragon Alliance announced that the Federation had become the first God-tier Civilization in the Azure Dragon Universe.

The Noreya Empire waged a holy war against three neighboring God-tier Civilizations, overwhelming them with endless troops and total mobilization of its population. After all three civilizations fell, Noreya continued its march, while seventeen civilizations across the Black Hole Cavity Space were revealed to have gone mad at the same time.

• Emperor Milantes's holy-war preparations drove the Noreya Empire to multiply its population and train newborns as warriors.
• The Noreya Empire fought three neighboring God-tier Civilizations for years, steadily exhausting their fleets while its own forces kept growing.
• The Kasa Republic's commander pleaded for reinforcements, but its headquarters had none left to send.
• The Noreya Empire broke through the Kasa Republic's border and slaughtered life-forms above Tier Three throughout its primary universe before continuing its advance.
• The other two God-tier Civilizations were breached over the following two months and suffered the same slaughter as the Kasa Republic.
• The chapter revealed that seventeen civilizations in the Black Hole Cavity Space had gone mad at the same time.

Luo Li completed the Federation’s seventh-generation Black Hole Engine, enabling its expansion plans to move forward. When a Black Mang Empire fleet appeared near the Kado Universe, Lin Fan decided to destroy it in black hole cavity space as a warning to the empire.

• Luo Li finalized the seventh-generation Black Hole Engine after testing it on an Azure Dragon-class battleship.
• Lin Fan visited Luo Li and, with Li Lizhi’s help, persuaded her to take a year off while Li Lizhi oversaw the research institute.
• By Federation Year 286, the Federation had refitted its main fleets with seventh-generation engines and supplied engines for a vast auxiliary fleet.
• Liang Xue reported that a fleet of one quadrillion warships was approaching the Kado Universe, though its Black Hole Lifeforms could not be confirmed.
• Lin Fan ordered the Federation to attack the fleet in black hole cavity space and make it a warning to the Black Mang Empire.

Lin Fan explained why the Azure Dragon Alliance First Legion would attack the Black Mang Empire’s approaching Third Imperial Guard Legion before reinforcements could be assembled. He revealed that the Empire was stretched thin by a war with the Hiltek Empire, and that defeating its only nearby legion could expose the Dolando Region to the Tailo Empire.

• Lin Fan told the First Legion’s commanders that the Black Mang Empire’s force consisted of ten trillion God-tier Civilization warships, and Wang Hai asked why they would attack before other Alliance legions were ready.
• Lin Fan explained the four methods of black cavity travel and used a map to show how Fault Channels shaped the Black Mang fleet’s fastest route to the Kado Universe.
• Lin Fan revealed that the Black Mang Empire had committed nearly eighty percent of its military strength to its war with the Hiltek Empire, while the Third Imperial Guard Legion was stationed in the Dolando Region to guard against the Tailo Empire.
• Lin Fan argued that the First Legion should strike while the Third Imperial Guard Legion was moving and the Empire’s other forces were occupied, then send news of its defeat to the Tailo Empire.

Lin Fan led the Azure Dragon Alliance's First Legion to ambush the Black Mang Empire's Third Imperial Guard Legion in the Stoke region, aiming to delay the empire and deter unruly Super Civilizations. The Black Mang fleet began emerging from a Fault Channel as the Federation launched its attack.

• Lin Fan explained that the Federation could track the Black Mang Empire's routes and exploit its conflict with the Hiltek Empire to set its territory ablaze and draw in the Tailo Empire.
• In Federation Year 295, Lin Fan deployed the First Legion in the Stoke region after its journey took nine years, while keeping its auxiliary fleet in reserve to witness the battle and serve as a warning to Super Civilizations.
• Lin Fan ordered the Federation's combat units to prepare for the Black Mang Empire's Third Imperial Guard Legion, with the first three attack waves planned as saturation strikes.
• As the Black Mang fleet neared the exit of its Fault Channel, Captain Barto welcomed the prospect of leaving, but his chief officer told him twelve Fault Channels remained on their route.
• Lin Fan ordered the fleets to attack and the Civilization Guardians to follow five seconds later as the Black Mang fleet approached.

Captain Barto’s vanguard fleet emerged from Fault Space and was ambushed by an enormous unknown fleet and a hundred Black Hole Lifeforms. After two devastating attacks destroyed most of his ships, Barto realized the Third Imperial Guard Legion had been lured into a trap.

• Barto’s vanguard fleet exited Fault Space and began its standard search for threats.
• The warship’s Mainframe detected more than one quadrillion enemy ships ahead, and Barto ordered the fleet to fully supply its Black Hole Cavity Armor.
• The unknown fleet opened fire before Barto’s ships could charge their weapons, destroying millions of warships in the first wave.
• A second attack unleashed a hundred singularity-like explosions, wiping out more than half of Barto’s nearly ten billion ships.
• Barto recognized the attackers as a massive God-tier Civilization fleet accompanied by a hundred Black Hole Lifeforms and concluded that the Third Imperial Guard Legion had been ambushed.

Lin Fan’s fleet prepared to intercept the Black Mang Empire’s Third Imperial Guard Legion as it emerged from the Fault Channel. The enemy formed a dense defense around twelve hundred enormous spacecraft, leaving Lin Fan uncertain what they contained.

• Taretel ordered Lante’s fleet to release all its Black Hole Cavity Creatures when the enemy emerged from the Fault Channel.
• Lin Fan predicted that the Black Mang Empire would send scouts ahead before committing its main force, then learned a quadrillion-warship fleet was approaching.
• Remembering intelligence about Black Hole Cavity Creatures in the Dolando Region, Lin Fan summoned Peak Dark Energy Manipulators to reinforce the defensive line.
• Lin Fan’s fleet attacked successive waves of Black Mang Empire warships, but nearly half of each wave survived and almost two billion ships gathered by the channel entrance.
• Around twelve hundred enormous spacecraft emerged, and the Black Mang Empire’s warships surrounded them in a dense hemispherical formation.

Lin Fan discovered that the Black Mang Empire's Third Imperial Guard Legion was hiding twelve hundred Black Hole Cavity Creatures inside its dense formation, putting the Federation at a severe disadvantage. After scans revealed control devices in the creatures' brains, Lin Fan proposed destroying the warship transmitting their commands.

• Lin Fan ordered the Federation's Civilization Guardians and Peak Dark Energy Manipulators to strike through the Third Imperial Guard Legion's formation.
• The attacks exposed twelve hundred Black Hole Cavity Creatures, which blocked the weakened beams with shield barriers.
• Lin Fan realized the Federation would be outnumbered by the creatures and threatened by fifty enemy Black Hole Lifeforms if it could not find a countermeasure.
• Lin Fan ordered his experts to scan the creatures and discovered unknown control devices in their brains.
• An expert traced the creatures' command signal to a controlling warship, and Lin Fan suggested destroying it to sever control.

Lin Fan's fleet identified Lance's hidden control ship and concentrated the Civilization Guardians' fire on it. The attack destroyed Lance and his ship, leaving the black hole cavity creatures poised to escape control.

• Lin Fan redirected the fleet's fire onto Lance's escorts while his staff searched for the ship controlling the black hole cavity creatures.
• Lance kept his ships in a dense defensive formation and expected the creatures to reach the Federation fleet before his control ship could be discovered.
• A shipboard expert confirmed the control ship's location, and Lin Fan ordered all Civilization Guardians to destroy it.
• Lance rejected his adjutant's suggestion to retreat and believed the creatures would break through within minutes.
• The Civilization Guardians launched a synchronized attack that destroyed Lance's control ship without leaving wreckage.

Luofesi and the surviving Black Hole Cavity Creatures regained their freedom and turned on the Black Mang Empire forces that had enslaved them. The Federation avoided the creatures as they joined its attack, leaving the Third Imperial Guard Legion in chaos.

• Luofesi awoke on a battlefield and reunited with the surviving members of his race after the captor controlling them had been destroyed.
• The Black Hole Cavity Creatures agreed to avenge their fallen kin by attacking the Black Mang Empire under Luofesi’s command.
• Lin Fan ordered Federal forces to avoid the creatures and watched to see whether they would attack the Federation or their former enslavers.
• Luofesi recognized the Federation’s restraint and kept his kin together as they coordinated their attack with its forces.
• With Lante dead and the Black Hole Cavity Creatures attacking alongside the Federation, the Third Imperial Guard Legion fell into chaos.

Taretel activated a hidden backdoor in the Black Hole Cavity Creatures’ controllers to paralyze them after they turned on the Black Mang Empire’s fleet. Lin Fan recognized the code’s purpose and watched as the creatures stopped moving, leaving their fate unresolved.

• Taretel learned that Rant’s warship had been destroyed and the Black Hole Cavity Creatures were attacking the Imperial fleet.
• Taretel ordered his adjutant to broadcast the S78 Code, which would paralyze the creatures for about three minutes.
• Lin Fan warned his officers that the creatures could still be controlled through a backup system or another contingency.
• Lin Fan ordered Luo Hao to scan the creatures’ brain controllers after the enemy broadcast a strange code.
• Luo Hao detected the controllers overloading, and Lin Fan realized the enemy meant to disable the creatures rather than target the Federation.
• Luo Hao announced that the controllers had reached the critical point, and every Black Hole Cavity Creature stopped moving.

After the Black Hole Cavity Creatures’ controllers self-destructed, the creatures lay defenseless but began rapidly regenerating, prompting Lin Fan to order the Civilization Guardians to protect them. The Third Imperial Guard Legion attacked the creatures, but Black Hole Lifeforms intervened and shielded them, leaving the Legion stunned.

• Luo Hao reported that the Black Hole Cavity Creatures’ brains were repairing themselves and could regenerate within minutes.
• Lin Fan ordered Wang Hai and the Civilization Guardians to protect the unconscious creatures while other Federation forces provided fire support.
• The Third Imperial Guard Legion launched five waves of attacks, killing nearly two hundred creatures and severely wounding nearly three hundred.
• More than a hundred Black Hole Lifeforms entered the swarm and struck the Legion’s attack groups, reducing their firepower.
• The Legion’s temporary commander ordered paired attack groups to target each creature, but the Black Hole Lifeforms deployed Defense Barriers to protect them.

Luofesi and the Federation’s Civilization Guardians joined forces to protect the Black Hole Cavity Creatures, then launched a counterattack that routed the Third Imperial Guard Legion’s fleets at the passage entrance. With the front collapsing, Legion Commander Taretel ordered Avila’s specialized fleet to break through and secure a deployment zone.

• Luofesi woke to find more than 500 Black Hole Cavity Creatures dead or severely injured and the Federation’s Civilization Guardians shielding the survivors.
• Luofesi and the recovered Black Hole Cavity Creatures joined the Guardians’ protective formation, eventually stopping the Third Imperial Guard Legion’s attacks from causing further damage.
• Luofesi and Wang Hai led their forces in a coordinated charge against the Third Imperial Guard Legion, routing its warships with support from Federation fleet fire.
• The adjutant reported that the front had collapsed and losses had exceeded one hundred billion warships, while reinforcements continued arriving in batches.
• Taretel learned Avila’s fleet would reach the Fault Channel exit in an hour and fifteen minutes and ordered it to secure a safe deployment zone.

The Federation's forces and Luofesi's Black Hole Cavity Creatures continued slaughtering the Third Imperial Guard Legion at the Fault Channel, until an unfamiliar fleet configuration prompted Lin Fan to order a cautious withdrawal. Wang Hai warned Luofesi, but Luofesi refused to retreat, and the Great Elder let him keep fighting as a chance to mature.

• After more than an hour of battle, the Third Imperial Guard Legion's losses exceeded the rate of reinforcements, and Lin Fan warned Liang Xue that the Federation should remain vigilant.
• When a newly arrived fleet appeared in an unfamiliar configuration, Lin Fan ordered Wang Hai to pull back and retreat if danger emerged.
• Wang Hai established a mental connection with Luofesi and urged him to withdraw temporarily, but Luofesi rejected the idea as running away.
• Wang Hai relayed Lin Fan's order, and the Federation's ninety-nine other Civilization Guardians withdrew to observe the new fleet.
• The Great Elder considered advising the reckless Luofesi but instead allowed him to keep leading the Black Hole Cavity Creatures into battle.

The Black Mang Empire’s Avila Fleet used self-destructing Punishment-class Warships to unleash Black Hole-level attacks against the Black Hole Cavity Creatures. Luofesi survived but lost many of his kin, while Lin Fan learned the weapon could not be deployed over long distances.

• Commander Avila ordered the frontline fleet to attack the Black Hole Cavity Creatures after confirming they had not fled.
• Lin Fan sensed the Punishment-class Warships’ Black Hole Energy and ordered Wang Hai and the other Civilization Guardians to retreat.
• Ten Punishment-class Warships exploded near the Black Hole Cavity Creatures, killing more than a hundred and severely injuring most of the survivors.
• The Great Elder and dozens of other creatures shielded Luofesi, and the Great Elder died while protecting him.
• Luo Hao analyzed the attack and told Lin Fan that the Black Mang Empire could not use it as a long-range weapon.
