Chapter Summaries

After the battle at Suxida, Xi Xiu’s team and the local forces destroyed Chen Yuzong’s robots, while the Alliance prepared for threats revealed by the attackers. Xi Xiu received Chen Yuzong’s file and learned that he was a blood relative of Qin Hongjun, though his mother’s fate remained unknown.

• The Alliance restricted information about Chen Yuzong and Barry to the Elder Council and upper ranks, using it to revise its battle plans.
• Xi Xiu’s team fought Chen Yuzong’s robots at Suxida, and several soldiers broke through their limits in Mental Power and physical strength.
• The soldiers at Yuanshi and Suxida destroyed the robots that had reached the ground, preserving only a few consciousnesses for Qiu Shaorong to handle.
• Li Yuanting arrived on the surface, and Qing Zhixun relaxed after hearing that Xi Xiu had survived the battle.
• Li Yuanting gave Xi Xiu Qing Zhixun’s file on Chen Yuzong, which revealed that Chen Yuzong was Qin Hongjun’s descendant and had been abandoned on a satellite planet as a child.

The chapter recounts how Chen Yuzong’s acceptance of his origins transformed his hidden brutality into a guiding belief and cost him the Supreme Commander candidacy. His failure led the Elder Council to keep the incumbent in office and the Alliance to revise its education of children.

• Chen Yuzong learned his origins from his biological mother, accepted them immediately, and began to embrace the brutality he associated with his biological father, Qin Hongjun.
• During the Supreme Commander competition, the head of the Qing Family asked Chen Yuzong about improving life and guidance for children in Orphanages.
• Chen Yuzong criticized the Alliance’s Orphanage system and dismissed the Alliance’s investment in raising and training him.
• The head of the Chu Family asked how Chen Yuzong would repay the Alliance, and Chen Yuzong claimed his achievements came only from his own efforts and his parents’ talent.
• The Elder Council revoked Chen Yuzong’s candidacy after reviewing his answers, conduct, and instructors’ testimony about his violent hidden personality.
• The Supreme Commander remained in office, and the Alliance later changed its education to instill responsibility to protect the Alliance from childhood.

Xi Xiu’s team captured Chen Yuzong’s consciousness and learned more about his past, while Xi Xiu recovered from an injury sustained in the battle. Li Yuanting helped Suxida assess its defenses and discussed the Alliance’s shortage of younger personnel.

• Xi Xiu reviewed Chen Yuzong’s file and learned that Qin Hongjun had left behind offspring and that Chen Yuzong had once abandoned the Alliance after the Elder Council limited his power.
• A Xian noticed Xi Xiu’s injured back and took her to Wu Yuan, which treated the bruise and scolded her for fighting recklessly.
• Xi Xiu assured A Xian she would be more careful, while privately resolving to train harder against powerful opponents like Chen Yuzong.
• Li Yuanting met Lin Shuan, learned why Suxida had been ambushed, and agreed to stay five days to help rebuild its defenses until the Mingyun Garrison arrived.
• Li Yuanting pointed out that Suxida’s defenses had not been updated to the Alliance’s new rating, and Lin Shuan explained that the Alliance faced a gap in its next generation.

Xi Xiu returned to Suxida after the battle and reunited with Jiang Fuyu, Suo Feihua, Ximo, Sika, and the others. As everyone welcomed her over dinner, Lin Shuan recognized both the loyalty she inspired and the ways he needed to improve.

• Qing Zhixun and Lin Shuan discussed the younger generation's slow improvement, and Qing Zhixun suggested asking Lieutenant Hong for advice.
• Li Yuanting explained Suxida's defense plan to Lin Shuan, who spotted a loophole and redrew the plan with him.
• Xi Xiu returned to Suxida's main city with Jiang Fuyu, while Suo Feihua and the others welcomed her after the battle.
• Ximo and Sika asked Xi Xiu for the farewell kiss they remembered, but she refused and A Xian and the others protected her.
• Ximo and Sika apologized to Tian Nuolin for leaving Suxida, and he urged them to act more maturely.
• Xi Xiu shared dinner with Suo Feihua, Jiang Fuyu, and the others as they caught up and told stories about her childhood.

As Suxida’s residents thanked Xi Xiu’s group for saving them, Li Mingsha and the others recalled Xi Xiu’s disciplined childhood and her bond with the Feihua Group. Xi Xiu and A Xian met Suo Feihua’s children and gave them gifts, but Suo Feihua worried that Xi Xiu’s training materials were too valuable to accept.

• Li Mingsha described Xi Xiu as an adorable, self-disciplined child who had trained the Feihua Group, and the others praised her character and remembered how she had saved Suxida.
• Suo Feihua brought her children Lin Ziyi, Lin Zikui, and Suo Lingyu to meet Xi Xiu and A Xian, while other children gathered around them.
• A Xian let Suo Lingyu call them big sisters and offered the children weapons and armaments from her Space Lockets.
• Xi Xiu gave the children toys, food, practical items, Martial Skills, training schedules, and Mental Power training methods.
• Suo Feihua and the other mothers hesitated to accept Xi Xiu’s valuable gifts, and Lin Shuan hurried over to ask whether the children had caused trouble.

Xi Xiu gave the children of Suxida her Martial Skills and Mental Power training methods and promised to monitor their progress. After the banquet, she and A Xian grew suspicious of the sudden popularity of Aifolan, whose appearance reminded them of Chen Yuzong’s mother.

• Xi Xiu gave Suo Feihua’s children training methods, and they agreed to work hard while Lin Ziyi asked what the gift required.
• A Xian assured Suo Feihua that Xi Xiu’s methods had helped the soldiers of 909 improve, and Xi Xiu explained how her Mental Power training offered a clear starting point.
• The banquet ended, and the people of Suxida gathered in Central City to watch a recording of Aifolan’s live performance.
• Xi Xiu and A Xian noticed that Aifolan’s eyes resembled Chen Yuzong’s mother’s and questioned why the entertainer had appeared so suddenly on Suxida.
• Suo Feihua said Ximo and Sika had found Aifolan’s video four months earlier, but her records showed no sign of anything suspicious.

Xi Xiu and the others uncovered signs that Aifolan’s live-event persona was an impersonator whose performances and videos had been deliberately spread to provoke an extreme response. Qing Zhixun ordered an investigation into Aifolan and possible infiltrators within Suxida, and Xi Xiu agreed to investigate discreetly.

• Ximo and Sika reported that the Aifolan they had encountered was an impersonator, and Feng Shanshan identified the live-event performer by the changing violet tint in her eyes.
• A Xian and Xi Xiu noticed that the live-event audience was overwhelmingly male and unnaturally obsessed, while Feng Shanshan determined that the women present were likely Aifolan’s people posing as attendees and staff.
• Li Yuanting reported his concerns about the footage to Qing Zhixun, who ordered an investigation into Aifolan and surveillance of Suxita Planet for possible infiltrators.
• Qing Zhixun called Xi Xiu and told her to use her time resting on Suxida to investigate interpersonal connections and suspected infiltrators, and Xi Xiu agreed to cooperate with Captain Li.

Xi Xiu considered A Xian’s suggestion to delay her next Blocker injection and decide whether she had feelings for Qing Zhixun, while reflecting on the quiet life in Suxida. The next morning, she invited the visiting children to try sparring with her team, and Suo Lingyu chose Hu Yingyi as her opponent.

• Xi Xiu thanked Qing Zhixun for his concern, and A Xian urged her to consider delaying her next Blocker injection before deciding how to handle their relationship.
• A Xian praised Qing Zhixun and recalled that he had driven away women who tried to approach him or test Mental Power communication.
• Xi Xiu and A Xian trained with the 909 team the next morning as the children of Suo Feihua, Vera, and Suo Feiyue watched.
• Xi Xiu invited the children to spar, and A Xian told them to choose the weakest soldier.
• Suo Lingyu reluctantly selected Hu Yingyi, who smiled sweetly as they prepared to spar.

Xi Xiu and A Xian discussed Suxita’s decision to protect its children from combat and the Alliance’s need to develop stronger warriors. Hu Yingyi demonstrated her skills and encouraged the children to train diligently, while the cause of declining talent across the Alliance remained unknown.

• Suo Feihua, Lin Shuan, and the others chose to let their children follow ordinary careers rather than raise them as warriors, and sent the underage children away when Suxita faced danger.
• Xi Xiu and A Xian discussed Suxita’s weaker next generation, the Alliance’s future defenses, and the possibility that Wei Lanshan could balance the virus and talent.
• Hu Yingyi sparred with Suo Lingyu, revealed that concealing her aura was a method taught by their captain, and said her Mental Power had grown rapidly over the past two years.
• Hu Yingyi explained that success required more effort, and Xi Xiu told the children to build up their training gradually and persist despite their talents.
• Lin Ziyi asked whether diligence could overcome low talent, and Xi Xiu reassured the children that their abilities were not poor compared with most Alliance citizens.
• The chapter noted that talent had declined over generations, though biologists still could not explain why.

Xi Xiu and A Xian coached the children through sparring and Mental Power exercises, using patient, practical demonstrations to address their lack of comprehension. Their new approach helped Guan Shanyue make clear progress, and Suo Feihua sent a training video to Suo Feiyue.

• Xi Xiu had the children choose opponents and spar while she timed how long they could keep fighting.
• Xi Xiu and A Xian identified the children’s flaws and explained how to improve their techniques and strength control.
• Xi Xiu demonstrated Mental Power with objects and slower, vivid explanations, helping the children sense and direct it more intuitively.
• Suo Lingyu excitedly managed to touch the demonstration, while Guan Shanyue played with floating Silver Beads and her Mental Power grew steadier and stronger.
• Suo Feihua sent Suo Feiyue a video of the training after seeing Guan Shanyue’s progress.

Guan Shanyue made a breakthrough in Mental Power by playing with a bead, and Suo Feiyue recognized that her harsh training approach had not suited her daughter. The children resumed training with Xi Xiu’s staged method, while Xi Xiu warned the adults not to force Mental Power breakthroughs before the children’s physical fitness was ready.

• Suo Feiyue rushed underground after receiving the video and saw Guan Shanyue’s improved Mental Power and closer connection to the bead.
• A Xian and Xi Xiu asked Guan Shanyue to recall how she had used her Mental Power, and Guan Shanyue said playing with the bead had felt easy.
• Guan Shanyue told Suo Feiyue she had succeeded and asked her to stop threatening to throw her into space; Suo Feiyue praised and kissed her.
• Lin Ziyi, Lin Zikui, and Suo Lingyu shared that the battle had made training feel easier, though they were still exhausted.
• The children resumed training, and Xi Xiu explained to Suo Feihua and the others that Mental Power breakthroughs should not be forced before physical fitness caught up.

Xi Xiu and A Xian explained that the younger generation’s talent problem was widespread, then investigated suspicious departures from Suxida. Xi Xiu found repeated apparent accidents involving people who left with approved permits and ordered their communications and movements investigated.

• Xi Xiu told Suo Feihua and the others that young people across the Alliance struggled to develop Mental Power alongside physical fitness, despite having more perfect genes.
• Flora and the others watched the children endure physical training, while Xi Xiu and A Xian reviewed Suxida’s resident data and focused on people who had left.
• Xi Xiu and Li Yuanting noticed that some people had departed without their partners and split up the investigation.
• Xi Xiu showed Lin Shuan and Suo Feihua records of former residents whose partners returned with children after supposedly dying in accidents during their departures.
• Xi Xiu identified repeated cases involving meteor collisions or star pirates and ordered Nolin to investigate the returnees’ communications and movements, with Qi Mang and Wu Yuan offering to help.

Xi Xiu and the others investigated the families of Feihua Group members who had lost their partners, finding no major problems. While walking through a forest, Xi Xiu and A Xian discovered a secluded household whose guarded behavior made them suspicious.

• Xi Xiu questioned Suo Feihua about how Suxida protected its location from partners matched to residents from other planets.
• Xi Xiu shared Lin Shuan's files with Li Yuanting, while Tian Nuolin and Qi Mang searched communication records for suspicious details.
• Xi Xiu, Wu Yuan, and A Xian visited bereaved families with Feng Shanshan, and Xi Xiu found no major cause for suspicion among them.
• Xi Xiu left Feng Shanshan's group and walked into the forest with A Xian, where they discovered dark green houses built in the trees.
• Xi Xiu scanned the guarded girl and learned she was Sang Linwan, whose family had remained on Suxida after her father's death and stayed out of public view.
• Xi Xiu apologized for wandering into the forest, while she and A Xian remained wary of Sang Linwan and the others.

Xi Xiu and A Xian grew suspicious of Sang Linwan’s family after encountering their hostility and strange behavior on Suxina. The family changed into unfamiliar white combat suits and led the warriors toward Rocky Forest, leaving Xi Xiu and A Xian to follow while wary of a trap.

• Sang Linwan challenged Xi Xiu and A Xian, while Lin Zhenzhen quickly apologized and tried to smooth over the tense encounter.
• Sang Linwan offered to lead Xi Xiu and A Xian to better scenery across the forest, and they agreed to see what her family was planning.
• Sang Linwan and Lin Zhenzhen changed into unmarked white combat suits and carried Light Atomic Weapons that Xi Xiu secretly photographed.
• Feng Shanshan confirmed that Suxita had no such suits or weapons, deepening Xi Xiu’s suspicions about the family.
• Lin Zhenzhen and Sang Linwan led Xi Xiu and A Xian toward the nearby Rocky Forest, a dangerous protected area that Feng Shanshan had warned them to avoid.

Wu Yuan discovered an unexplained Jingsu music box in Sang Linwan's home, while Xi Xiu and A Xian followed Sang Linwan and Lin Zhenzhen into the dangerous Rocky Forest. The mother and daughter trapped them behind an isolation barrier and activated something hidden in the forest.

• Wu Yuan searched Sang Linwan's residence and found a music box made from Jingsu material, then sent its image to Xi Xiu.
• Xi Xiu recognized the music box and reconsidered whether Qin Hongjun might have shared Qin Jian's consciousness or memories.
• Sang Linwan led Xi Xiu, A Xian, and Lin Zhenzhen down a steep slope into the Rocky Forest, where a foul stench and blocked signals suggested danger.
• Feng Shanshan rushed to the Rocky Forest in her Hovercar but could not reach Xi Xiu by video call or find the group.
• Sang Linwan and Lin Zhenzhen activated an isolation barrier, declared that Xi Xiu and A Xian would die there, and opened the Rocky Forest barrier as Lin Zhenzhen pressed a terminal button.

Xi Xiu and A Xian captured Sang Linwan, Sang Minjie, and Lin Zhenzhen before the Star Beast mutants escaped Rocky Forest. As more than a hundred beasts poured out, a calming sound swept through the forest.

• Xi Xiu restrained Sang Linwan and Sang Minjie, while A Xian tied up Lin Zhenzhen and removed her accessories.
• A Xian revealed her Anvile appearance, and Xi Xiu explained that the group’s suspicious behavior had exposed them.
• Xi Xiu raised a protective barrier around the captives and disabled the forest’s signal-blocking measures.
• Xi Xiu and A Xian spotted more than a hundred young Star Beast mutants rushing out of Rocky Forest.
• The Star Beasts scattered through the forest until a sound that could calm them drifted through the air.

Xi Xiu and the others confronted hundreds of Star Beasts in Rocky Forest and captured the people behind them. Genetic tests revealed that Lin Zhenzhen was not Sang Linwan’s mother, leaving Sang Linwan questioning who her family really was.

• Sang Linwan whistled, and the Star Beasts gathered and began uprooting a tree until Xi Xiu, A Xian, Feng Shanshan, and the others arrived.
• Wu Yuan brought two boys from the treehouse as Xi Xiu and Wu Yuan joined the fight against the Star Beasts.
• Tian Nuolin compared the group’s blood samples with the database and discovered that Lin Zhenzhen’s genes did not match the real Lin Zhenzhen’s records.
• Tian Nuolin told Sang Linwan that the database listed only three children for her parents and had no record of her youngest brother.
• Sang Linwan struggled to accept that Lin Zhenzhen had deceived her and insisted that her brother had been born aboard the Starship.

Tian Nuolin and Wu Yuan revealed that Sang Linwan and her siblings’ memories of their parents and brother had been implanted, exposing Lin Zhenzhen’s deception and their role in her plans. As the Star Beasts were contained, Wu Yuan traced Lin Zhenzhen’s genes to Qin Hongjun’s descendants and explained that Qin Hongjun had replicated his genetic information across countless copies.

• Tian Nuolin told Sang Linwan that her parents had died aboard the Starship, Sang Tiantian had never existed, and all three siblings’ memories had been altered.
• Wu Yuan explained that experts including Wei Lanshan, Gao Shenyi, and Bian Linchun could have performed the memory surgery, while Sang Linwan realized Lin Zhenzhen had used the siblings’ false memories to recruit them.
• Lin Zhenzhen stayed silent as A Xian handed her three unusual Space Lockets to Lin Shuan, and Xi Xiu, Qiu Shaorong, and the Suxida warriors contained the Star Beasts.
• Wu Yuan and Tian Nuolin examined Lin Zhenzhen’s terminal and found that her genes linked her to Qin Hongjun’s descendants.
• Wu Yuan revealed that Qin Hongjun’s genetic information had been replicated countless times and that he was connected to the creation of the Eternal Robots and uploaded consciousness.

Lin Shuan's group uncovered evidence that Lin Zhenzhen had manipulated the Sang family, brought Star Beast eggs into Suxida, and was connected to the deaths of Sang Linwan's parents. Sang Linwan and her brothers learned the truth, and Feng Shanshan took them away while the battle against the Star Beasts continued.

• Xi Xiu and Jiu Dan fought the juvenile Star Beasts inside the Protective Shield, while Wu Yuan told the others about Qin Hongjun's deeds.
• Lin Shuan's files revealed that Lin Zhenzhen had returned to Suxida with the Sang siblings and a newborn, carrying living eggs that were likely the source of the Star Beasts.
• Tian Nuolin told Sang Linwan and her brothers that their parents' deaths had not been caused by Suxina and might have been caused by the person tied to the tree.
• Sang Linwan tried to use her whistling to make the Star Beasts devour Lin Zhenzhen, but Xi Xiu blocked the sound and Suo Feihua knocked her unconscious.
• Feng Shanshan took Sang Linwan, Sang Minjie, and Sang Minhua back to Central City and told them they would be safe as long as they attacked no one.

Xi Xiu and her team investigated the Star Beasts’ underground nest in Rocky Forest, finding a breeding ground and a Transmission Channel that threatened Suxida. They planned to destroy the eggs after preserving samples, while the three siblings were sent for examination and possible memory treatment.

• Suxida arranged for the three siblings to be examined by Bian Linchun on Gaia, while Sang Linwan and the others were sent away after Sang Linwan remained unconscious.
• Xi Xiu’s team entered Rocky Forest, tracked the Star Beasts to their nest, and dismantled shielding devices found underground.
• Lin Shuan and Li Mingsha discovered that the youngest child had collected relief Nutrient Paste, but Xi Xiu warned that his identity might reveal little about Qin Hongjun’s plans.
• Xi Xiu’s team found enormous numbers of Star Beast eggs and a Transmission Channel used to deliver food to the creatures.
• Xi Xiu told Lieutenant Hong to preserve samples for the laboratory and destroy the remaining Star Beast eggs.
