Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng slaughtered the bounty hunters who attacked him in the Scrap Iron Star Ring and learned from a tavern owner where the Godhunter Consortium kept an intelligence station. He headed to the station in District Seven, where guards identified him as a wanted target and prepared to shoot.

• Lin Feng endured the cyborg’s plasma blast, then used the cyborg as a weapon to knock down bounty hunters before destroying the attackers with his axe and bare hands.
• Lin Feng incapacitated the fleeing snipers with a thrown piece of metal, and the remaining bounty hunters dropped their weapons.
• Lin Feng asked the tavern owner about the Godhunter Consortium and learned its intelligence purchasing station was in District Seven.
• Lin Feng paid with a titanium-gold insignia and left for District Seven, where residents moved aside and surveillance cameras tracked him.
• Four guards at the station recognized Lin Feng as a wanted target and raised their guns to shoot him on sight.

Lin Feng raided the Godhunter Consortium’s intelligence station and learned that its regional commander, Nameless, was coming after him. He left with stolen Black Iron Temple files and discovered three people following him into an alley.

• Lin Feng defeated the guards and bounty hunters at the intelligence station, then searched its second-floor records.
• Lin Feng learned that the Godhunter Consortium was a universe-plundering organization and that Nameless, a god king-class commander, was expected to arrive within 72 hours.
• Lin Feng confronted Kaz, the station officer, and forced him to retrieve secret information about the Black Iron Temple.
• Lin Feng left with the intelligence stored on a metal chip and sensed three skilled pursuers following him.
• Lin Feng entered a narrow alley, called out the three pursuers, and one stepped into view.

Lin Feng met Su Li, a special-grade investigator for the Free Star Alliance, who asked him to help rescue 150,000 people imprisoned in a Godhunter Consortium warehouse. He agreed to travel with her, though the system warned him that Su Li concealed powerful high-dimensional law fluctuations, and they set course for the warehouse.

• Su Li revealed that she had dealt with two trackers and introduced herself as an investigator seeking to overthrow the Godhunter Consortium.
• Su Li showed Lin Feng the location of a secret transit warehouse holding survivors from thirty-seven sandbox universes and described its formidable defenses.
• Lin Feng agreed to help Su Li raid the warehouse and followed her to her spacecraft in District Three.
• The system detected concealed high-dimensional law fluctuations near Su Li, and she identified her cultivation technique as Great Thousand World Origin Law: Formlessness.
• Lin Feng and Su Li boarded her spacecraft and departed the Scrap Iron Star Ring for Asteroid Cluster No. 19.

Lin Feng and Su Li encountered seven Godhunter Consortium ships ambushing them in the Dark Current Star Belt. Lin Feng left their ship, tore into the largest warship, and began fighting its soldiers inside.

• Lin Feng sensed seven stealth ships ahead, and Su Li confirmed they belonged to Kaz's pursuers.
• Lin Feng refused to detour and told Su Li to use their ship as bait while he attacked from outside.
• The seven Godhunter Consortium ships opened fire, and Su Li maneuvered through their barrage.
• Lin Feng propelled himself through space and struck the largest warship with the Heaven-Opening Axe.
• Lin Feng ripped open the warship's armor, entered its corridors, and fought the God Hunters soldiers with his fists.

Lin Feng disabled all seven Godhunter warships and reached Asteroid Cluster No. 19 with Su Li to plan an assault on the Godhunter Consortium's transit warehouse. After Lin Feng silently disabled its five hundred gun emplacements, he and Su Li prepared to destroy the three energy generators simultaneously.

• Lin Feng destroyed the power cores of all seven warships, then returned to Su Li's spaceship.
• Su Li showed Lin Feng the warehouse reconnaissance and explained its guards, prisoners, and three energy blockade arrays.
• Lin Feng proposed striking all three generators at once, with him attacking two and Su Li attacking the third.
• Lin Feng secretly disabled all five hundred gun emplacements by severing their energy lines.
• Su Li flew above the second generator and prepared a high-dimensional pulse rifle as their synchronized attack countdown began.

Lin Feng and Su Li disabled the warehouse’s three lockdown arrays, exposing the underground detention area and its 150,000 prisoners. After learning that damaging the pods could trigger a deadly toxin release, Lin Feng found and destroyed the lockdown remote, then prepared to smash the buried control core.

• Lin Feng destroyed the first energy generator while Su Li shot the second, disabling two lockdown arrays.
• Lin Feng destroyed the third generator, exposing the underground passage as guards converged on him.
• Lin Feng entered the detention area and learned from the guard captain that damaging the locked pods would release toxin and kill all 150,000 prisoners.
• Lin Feng used the system to locate the buried control core, seized the captain’s remote, and crushed it.
• The guards opened fire, but their energy beams did not harm Lin Feng, who raised the Heaven-Opening Axe over the floor above the core.

Lin Feng destroyed the control core, freed 150,000 prisoners, and held off the guards until Su Li’s fleet arrived to evacuate them. Back in the Scrap Iron Star Ring, Su Li began briefing him on Nameless, the Black Iron Temple commander expected to arrive within seventy-two hours.

• Lin Feng smashed the control core, released the lockdown, and opened the holding compartments for the prisoners.
• Lin Feng persuaded the 300 underground guards to help free the captives and held off 2,000 more guards at the passage entrance for two hours.
• Su Li arranged for Free Star Alliance ships to evacuate the 150,000 survivors, and an elderly cultivator from the Heavenly Secrets Universe thanked Lin Feng before boarding.
• Su Li warned Lin Feng that Nameless would arrive within seventy-two hours, and Lin Feng returned to the Scrap Iron Star Ring to eat.
• Su Li showed Lin Feng the limited information the Free Star Alliance had gathered about Nameless.

Su Li told Lin Feng that the Godhunter Consortium planned to destroy more than two hundred sandbox universes, likely including the Primordial Chaos World. Lin Feng met captured intelligence officer Karl and asked whether he had ever believed his work for the consortium was right.

• Su Li described Nameless, a God King Class warrior expected within seventy-two hours, and Lin Feng calmly continued eating.
• Su Li revealed the consortium's Net-Closing Plan to destroy more than two hundred sandbox universes, including the likely target Primordial Chaos World.
• Lin Feng agreed to help stop the plan by questioning a captured consortium intelligence officer who could reveal its core execution node.
• Su Li took Lin Feng to a Free Star Alliance safehouse, where he met the prisoner, Karl.
• Lin Feng asked Karl whether, during his seventeen years with the consortium, he had ever felt that his work was right.

Karl revealed that the Net-Closing Plan’s Lighthouse was hidden in a dark matter nebula in Nameless’s territory, where Nameless personally guarded it. Lin Feng and Su Li found the Lighthouse’s spherical space city, but learned its garrison numbered at least a hundred thousand.

• Karl gave Su Li the Lighthouse’s coordinates after Lin Feng promised to let him disappear, and warned that Nameless guarded it.
• Karl told Lin Feng that Nameless was a God King-level warrior who had served the consortium for over a hundred years without needing modifications.
• Lin Feng and Su Li left the Scrap Iron Star Ring and warped toward the dark matter nebula, despite Lin Feng admitting he was not confident about fighting Nameless.
• Su Li guided the ship into the nebula, where its instruments failed, and Lin Feng went outside to sense the surroundings.
• Lin Feng detected a vast spherical space city and identified the Lighthouse at its center, while Su Li estimated that at least a hundred thousand troops defended it.

Lin Feng reached the spherical city and challenged Nameless, who agreed to reveal the lighthouse’s location if Lin Feng won. Their physical showdown began, ending with Nameless blocking Lin Feng’s overhead axe strike with the back of his hand.

• Lin Feng spotted Nameless waiting on the city’s surface and flew there from his spaceship, telling Su Li to keep the ship back and retreat if the city’s defenses fired.
• Nameless explained that the consortium had promised to spare his Myriad Stars Universe, then destroyed it anyway, and said he had continued serving them because he had nowhere else to go.
• Nameless challenged Lin Feng to a contest of strength, promising to reveal the lighthouse’s location if Lin Feng won and to hand him to the consortium if he lost.
• Lin Feng attacked with the Heaven-Opening Axe, but Nameless stopped its blade with his palm and matched Lin Feng’s strength in a brief standoff.
• Lin Feng leaped back and brought the axe down from above, and Nameless met the strike with the back of his hand.

Lin Feng and Nameless fought on the outer deck of the spherical city, and Nameless eventually conceded that Lin Feng’s ability to grow stronger through battle would decide the contest. Nameless gave Lin Feng the lighthouse’s location and access code, leaving the way clear for him to proceed.

• Lin Feng activated full Physical Enhancement and increased his strength as he fought Nameless with his axe and fists.
• Lin Feng and Nameless exchanged blows, damaging the metal deck while Nameless’s body began to crack and Lin Feng’s injuries quickly healed.
• Lin Feng explained that each battle raised his limits, while Nameless’s century of forging had fixed his strength at a ceiling.
• Nameless surrendered, saying he had already seen the outcome of the fight.
• Nameless told Lin Feng that the lighthouse was beneath the core pillar, gave him the south-pole hatch’s passcode, and promised to keep the guards from interfering.

Lin Feng entered the Lighthouse and drained the World Core energy stored inside its main column before attacking it with the Heaven-Opening Axe. He began cutting into the structure, while the Consortium's headquarters remained the key to stopping its backup plan.

• Nameless warned Lin Feng that destroying the Lighthouse would halt the Net-Closing Plan but that the Consortium would restart its backup plan, whose core was at its headquarters.
• Lin Feng forced open the sealed hatch at the city's south pole and entered the Lighthouse chamber.
• Lin Feng used the energy diversion valve to discharge the column's stored energy into the dark matter nebula.
• After the Lighthouse column went dark, Lin Feng struck its base repeatedly with the Heaven-Opening Axe.

After destroying the lighthouse and stopping the Net-Closing Plan, Lin Feng learned that Star Sea Survivor might know the Godhunter Consortium headquarters’ coordinates. He reached the Void Rift Belt and sensed her presence on a shattered planet.

• Lin Feng destroyed the lighthouse, disabling the Net-Closing Plan’s signal hub and halting the destruction countdowns in 203 sandbox universes.
• Lin Feng met Nameless, who told him to seek Star Sea Survivor in the Void Rift Belt for the Consortium headquarters’ coordinates.
• Lin Feng and Su Li traveled across the Great Thousand World, and Lin Feng took over piloting while Su Li rested.
• Lin Feng extended his perception through the Void Rift Belt and sensed an unusual presence on a shattered planet.

Lin Feng found the Star Sea Survivor on a shattered planet and learned that the Godhunter Consortium’s headquarters lay in Interstitial Space beyond the Great Thousand World. She explained that Lin Feng needed at least eighty percent Pangu Bloodline integration to break through the boundary, and revealed that the Consortium had imprisoned a person in Interstitial Space.

• Lin Feng followed the Star Sea Survivor’s faint presence to a shattered planet and met the ancient woman in a rocky hollow.
• The Star Sea Survivor recognized Lin Feng’s fifty-point-one-percent Pangu Bloodline integration and told him she had met Pangu and the Godhunter Consortium’s founder.
• She revealed that the Consortium’s headquarters lay beyond the Great Thousand World’s boundary, in coordinate-free Interstitial Space.
• The Star Sea Survivor said Lin Feng would need at least eighty percent Pangu Bloodline integration to tear open the boundary, and that battles and protecting worlds could increase it.
• She told Lin Feng she had been waiting for someone capable of reaching the boundary, then revealed that the Consortium had imprisoned a person in Interstitial Space.

Lin Feng learned that Pangu was alive but imprisoned in Interstitial Space, and set out to raise his fusion level before rescuing him. After returning to the Scrap Iron Star Ring, he persuaded Kaz to reveal the Consortium's Eastern Star Region strongholds in exchange for a spaceship.

• The old woman told Lin Feng that the Consortium founder had imprisoned Pangu as an energy source and gave him a stone fragment to help him tear open Interstitial Space.
• Lin Feng returned to Su Li and explained that he needed to raise his fusion level above eighty percent before reaching Interstitial Space.
• Lin Feng chose to go to the Scrap Iron Star Ring and make Kaz reveal the Consortium's transfer stations, detention sites, and other strongholds.
• Lin Feng found Kaz at the Free Star Alliance contact point and promised to release him if he provided the locations of the Consortium's facilities.
• Kaz agreed to give Lin Feng the list in exchange for a spaceship, then displayed a map marked with over a hundred strongholds.

Lin Feng and Su Li chose Black Iron Fortress as their first target among the Consortium’s 134 outposts, then disguised their ship as a supply vessel to infiltrate the heavily defended prison. They docked at the fortress, leaving their next move unresolved.

• Kaz gave Lin Feng a map of the Consortium’s outposts and warned him that Black Iron Fortress held over three hundred thousand prisoners and was guarded by twenty thousand troops and three thousand heavy guns.
• Lin Feng chose Black Iron Fortress despite Kaz’s warning that its commander, Iron Hand, was a peak God King Class warrior.
• Su Li warned Lin Feng that the Consortium might reinforce its outposts and hunt him, and said he had changed because he was now fighting for Pangu.
• Lin Feng and Su Li left the Scrap Iron Star Ring and warp-jumped to Black Iron Fortress, where Su Li assessed its defenses from beyond patrol scanning range.
• Su Li disguised their ship as a Consortium supply vessel, provided a valid identification number, and docked at the fortress’s north-side supply berth.

Lin Feng infiltrated the Black Iron Fortress, freed its three hundred thousand prisoners, and led them toward the northern docking area. Iron Hand confronted him in the central plaza, leaving Lin Feng facing a showdown with the Godhunter Consortium.

• Lin Feng entered the fortress through a ventilation duct and broke into Detention Area A-1 with the Heaven-Opening Axe.
• Lin Feng fought off the guards, opened all one hundred compartments, and freed three hundred thousand prisoners.
• Lin Feng urged the prisoners to follow him to the northern docking area, and they surged through the fortress as guards attacked.
• Lin Feng led the crowd into the central plaza, where Iron Hand jumped down from the founder’s statue and confronted him.
• Iron Hand questioned Lin Feng about opposing the Consortium, and Lin Feng said he did not know whether he could win.

Lin Feng defeated Iron Hand in battle, and Iron Hand agreed to help him destroy the Black Iron Fortress’s power core. After Lin Feng brought down the core, the fortress’s defenses went offline and his Pangu True Body fusion rose to 52.1%.

• Lin Feng and Iron Hand fought in the square, where Lin Feng withstood Iron Hand’s strongest energy strike and won.
• Iron Hand chose to help Lin Feng and led him to the fortress’s power core on the third underground level.
• Lin Feng repeatedly struck the power core’s central column until its base snapped and the column collapsed.
• The Black Iron Fortress lost power, its defense systems went offline, and Lin Feng’s Pangu True Body fusion increased to 52.1%.

Lin Feng and Iron Hand evacuated three hundred thousand prisoners from the collapsing Black Iron Fortress, then Lin Feng and Su Li began dismantling the Consortium’s strongholds. After defeating forty-seven strongholds, Lin Feng grew weary of the mounting resistance and proposed confronting a Consortium Supreme Board of Directors member beyond God King Class to accelerate his fusion.

• Lin Feng and Iron Hand led the crowd to the northern docking area, where Su Li and the Free Star Alliance evacuated the three hundred thousand people.
• Iron Hand left the star region, while Lin Feng and Su Li watched the Black Iron Fortress explode and set course for the next stronghold.
• Over two months, Lin Feng and Su Li destroyed forty-seven strongholds, freed over a million prisoners, and raised Lin Feng’s Pangu True Body fusion rate to 61.3%.
• After fighting three increasingly difficult God King Class warriors, Lin Feng told Su Li he was tired and worried the Consortium’s defenses would stop him before he freed everyone.
• Lin Feng proposed attacking the Consortium headquarters and seeking a battle against a Supreme Board of Directors member beyond God King Class to raise his fusion rate.

Lin Feng and Su Li traveled to Void Walker’s private domain so Lin Feng could challenge an opponent beyond God King Class and break through his fusion level. Void Walker emerged from his tower and demonstrated his mastery of spatial law, leaving Lin Feng suspended in a severed patch of space.

• Lin Feng told Su Li he needed to defeat an opponent beyond God King Class to raise his fusion level, and Su Li identified Director Seven, codenamed Void Walker, as a target.
• Su Li accompanied Lin Feng to Void Walker’s private domain in an abandoned star system at the edge of the Eastern Star Region.
• Lin Feng forced his way through the planet’s spatial barrier using the power of Pangu’s essence blood.
• Lin Feng struck Void Walker’s black tower repeatedly with the Heaven-Opening Axe until a door appeared and Void Walker came out.
• Void Walker explained that he had been waiting for Lin Feng and showed his power by removing the space beneath Lin Feng, suspending him in midair.
