Chapter Summaries

After a month of study, Spirit Boat learned the foundations of Huang Ji’s Void Medical Skill and marveled at his ability to simplify its vast complexity. Meanwhile, Lin Li rose to Duke rank, and Spirit Boat arranged a match to help him reach King as Huang Ji aimed to bring the entire Ziwei Crowd to King rank.

The Nüwa reached Mercury to begin the Mending the Sky Operation, but unexpectedly intense Solar Wind threatened the mission before the crew could approach the Sun. After mining Helium-3 and consulting Kunlun Base, Liu Tengkong’s crew adopted a more dangerous plan that gave them only thirty minutes to deploy every Five-Colored Stone.

• The Nüwa entered Mercury’s synchronous orbit and found Solar Wind intensity thirty percent above projections, forcing Liu Tengkong to abandon the original approach plan.
• Liu Tengkong ordered the Nüwa to land on Mercury’s far side, where the crew could collect Helium-3 and report their situation to Kunlun Base.
• Liu Tengkong led four crew members across Mercury’s surface to collect nearly two tons of Helium-3 ore while Old Zhang maintained communications with Earth.
• After consulting Kunlun Base, Liu Tengkong’s crew planned to convert the gravity generator into an Energy Shield module and use Mercury’s Helium-3 as fuel.
• The revised projections gave the Energy Shield no more than thirty minutes of protection, requiring the crew to deploy every Five-Colored Stone within that time.
