Chapter Summaries

Hei Cha tried to ensure Han Bi died during treatment, but Prince Hugo intervened after his doctor Dulan found a cure for Han Bi’s sixfold collapse. Hei Cha redirected the operation to a doctor chosen by the fans, and Si Pike selected Shadow Long, who claimed he could save Han Bi.

• Shadow Long introduced himself as a doctor who could cure Han Bi, and Si Pike chose him to operate.

Huang Ji revived Han Bi and revealed Anunnaki’s Heavenfall Project to replace him with Shadow Long and install him as Shacha Master. The two agreed to reverse the scheme, leaving Han Bi burdened with the task of becoming emperor.

• The Shacha cabinet gave Huang Ji an antimatter asteroid, advanced materials, nano swarms, space fungus, and nine Krypton-level void lifeforms as compensation.

Huang Ji negotiated the terms of the Ziwei Troupe’s visit with the Leqi King and Sa Guala, pushing to visit every listed institution and selecting Sa Guala as an escort. He then used Sa Guala’s exclusion of Han Bi to secure an offer for Han Bi to accompany the troupe, leaving Sa Guala certain that Han Bi would accept.

• The Leqi King offered Huang Ji a list of Shacha institutions and initially said the troupe could choose only thirty-six locations, but admitted the limit had no basis when Huang Ji challenged him.

• Huang Ji left Han Bi’s participation up to Han Bi himself, while Sa Guala insisted that Han Bi would agree.

After recovering, Han Bi accepted Prince Hugo’s support and resolved to become Emperor so he could investigate Misha’s death and clear his name. Meanwhile, Sa Guala’s invitation to Han Bi prompted Thousand Flows Group to suspect that rival factions wanted a secret he possessed and to plan his assassination before anyone else could claim him.

• The president ordered A Qing to infiltrate Han Bi’s circle as a supposed ally and lure him somewhere he could be killed without attracting attention.

Han Bi joined forces with Huang Ji and Shadow Long to target the Anunnaki, while Huang Ji helped him turn a Cabinet assignment into a chance to expose Sa Guala. Han Bi survived an assassination attempt at a Smelting Star, and Hei Cha ordered A Qing to befriend him and lure him to a secret base.

• Sa Guala learned that Han Bi had nearly been assassinated at the Ore Nebula and that the media blamed him for the attack.

• A Qing joined Han Bi’s team but struggled to communicate, and Han Bi asked Si Pike to treat him as a friend and bring him onto the Investigation Team.
• Han Bi rejected Yu Guo’s invitation and Sa Guala’s subordinate’s request, so he set out toward the wormhole with Dulan.

Huang Ji proposed testing whether the universe had spin by measuring light inside a wormhole, and the Superconducting Master decided the Shacha Civilization could perform the experiment. Han Bi was assigned to procure Wormhole Roaming Boots, giving him a way to investigate the Thousand Currents Conglomerate’s factories.

• Huang Ji challenged the Superconducting Master’s assumption that particles’ spin needed no explanation and proposed measuring whether the universe had angular momentum.

In Han Bi’s hometown, Huang Ji uncovered a possible political ally in the Leqi King, leaving Han Bi newly hopeful about his path to the throne.

Hei Ba witnessed his uncle Hei Cha’s execution by black hole and learned that Hei Cha had colluded with Qian Liu, though he knew nothing about it.

• Huang Ji advised Han Bi to confess to producing prohibited weapons and use the investigation to lead authorities to the factory, so Han Bi broke the air wall and announced that he confessed.

Anunnaki’s Heavenfallers and allied consortiums tried to destroy Thousand Flows, but his powerful cabinet faction exposed their leaders’ genuine crimes and shattered their alliance. As Alshaz and the others faced arrest and the Heavenfall Project collapsed, Shadow Long revealed that their real opponent had been the emperor.

Qian Liu learned that the Emperor had saved him to protect the royalists, but he still refused to destroy the Wandering Boots production line and ordered A Qing to assassinate Hei Ba. As A Qing attacked on the Death Omen Star, the nearby black hole suddenly expanded, and Huang Ji, Hei Ba, and A Qing were rescued and sent away toward the Ursa Major Constellation Star System.

• The Emperor’s special envoy ordered Qian Liu to destroy the Wandering Boots production lines and remove incriminating evidence, but Qian Liu secretly wanted to preserve the technology.

Han Bi used his confession to secure a public trip to Giant Peak Star, where he planned to expose the Thousand Flows' hidden stronghold and illegal Wandering Boots Project production line. The Thousand Flows president failed to stop the identification, and Han Bi stood ready to risk conviction as he invoked the Shacha founder’s ideals.

• Han Bi’s confession shocked his supporters, and the Civilization Security Department released the interrogation details and allowed the public to watch him identify the stolen goods.
• Han Bi arrived at Giant Peak Star in the Ursa Major Constellation Star System with an Inspector and special police, while the Thousand Flows president realized the star system housed the Wandering Boots Project’s secret production line.

Han Bi used a public inspection to expose Qian Liu Conglomerate’s suspected criminal production line, but the Emperor ordered the Inspector to suppress the confirmed findings. The chapter left the crowd aware that the official denial was false.

• Han Bi led the Inspector to a hidden base beneath a glacier and accused Qian Liu Conglomerate of producing the negative-energy protons concealed in wormhole roaming boots.
• Qian Liu’s secretary claimed the base was legally registered and blocked the search, while the Inspector confirmed its legal status and shielded it from the crowd.

• The Emperor ordered the Inspector to halt testing and deny any abnormalities, and the Inspector overruled the scientist and announced that the production line was clean.
