Light Burst Group began purging suspected Anunnaki agents after receiving a list, while Prince Stubi demanded that Anunnaki hand over the Shadow Kill Legion provocateur who had insulted him. After the purge exposed a leak inside Anunnaki’s Special Affairs Department, Dulan turned to the Shadow Kill Legion for help infiltrating Light Burst.

• Light Burst’s boss consulted Stubi about the undercover-agent list, and Stubi ordered him to verify the evidence and purge confirmed agents while pursuing the provocateur.

Shadow Fang led the remaining members of his squad against Halogen, Socia, and five hundred Nomu soldiers, then broke through the encirclement at great cost. Halogen stopped the pursuit, believing Shadow Long might be waiting in ambush, while Shadow Fang feared the enemy had discovered Huang Ji’s undercover mission.

• Shadow Fang used his superior weapon control to kill soldiers while Halogen and Socia helped the Nomu forces hold the encirclement until reinforcements arrived.
• Halogen asked where Shadow Fang’s Doctor was, and Shadow Fang realized he might mean Shadow Long and wondered whether Thundersun had revealed the secret.
• Shadow Fang claimed Shadow Long and another squad were waiting nearby, then led his team through clouds of reflective smoke and broke out toward the Golden Spaceship.
• The Shadow Fang Squad escaped aboard the cloaked Golden Spaceship, but four members died in the battle.
• Halogen refused to pursue, warning that Shadow Long might be lying in ambush and admitting that Shadow Fang alone was too strong to capture without the Aurora Squad.

While secretly trying to revive Varu, he learned Shadow Fang suspected Thundersun of betraying the Shadow Kill Legion and agreed to keep working undercover to identify Light Burst Group's informants.

• Huang Ji arrived after the battle, grieved over Aurora's Assistant, and demanded to know why Halogen had abandoned the pursuit of Shadow Fang.
• Fanny preserved Aurora's Assistant's body in a crystalline fossil, and Huang Ji withdrew to his room.
• Goldhorn scolded Huang Ji over the failed operation, but Huang Ji defended his absence, urged an investigation into the leak, and accepted a solo mission to seize an Anunnaki shipment.

Huang Ji secretly revived Varu and left him sealed in amber, while Fanny discovered that the corpse had repaired itself and awakened. Convinced she had found a breakthrough medical technology, Fanny began investigating the phenomenon and wondered whether she might become a legendary physician.

• Huang Ji revived Varu, sealed him in amber again, and left after telling Halogen he had received a new mission.
• Fanny discovered that Varu's corpse had repaired itself inside the amber despite no one entering her vault.
• Fanny shattered the amber to examine Varu, accidentally cut him, and learned from her medical system that he was alive.
• Varu woke up, remembered being ambushed, and asked Fanny whether she had saved him.
• Fanny examined Varu and his memories, then concluded that her amber technique might preserve and repair people near death.
• Fanny celebrated the possibility that her discovery could make her a seven-star physician and resolved to study it further.

Fanny believed she had discovered a revolutionary medical substance and demanded secret support, while Huang Ji used Thundersun’s identity to take out a massive loan against Anunnaki assets. When Shadow Fang cornered the real Thundersun, he rebelled and detonated explosives planted throughout the Sun God Tree Mall.

• Fanny confiscated Varu’s devices and demanded that her superior arrange an immediate meeting with the company’s Supreme President.
• Huang Ji, disguised as Thundersun, mortgaged Anunnaki property at Star River Bank’s Nomu Branch for a huge loan.
• Shadow Fang and Shadow Jie sealed off the mall and hunted the real Thundersun, who hid in a secret room.
• Thundersun realized Shadow Fang believed him responsible for leaking the secret about Shadow Long and accused the company of framing him.
• Thundersun activated his mech’s shield, escaped through the rear of the room, and detonated the antimatter explosives planted throughout the mall.
• The Sun God Tree Mall exploded, killing employees in the blast as destruction spread across the planet and into space.

Thundersun destroyed the Sun God Tree to escape Shadow Fang, but the Star Alliance pursued him into space. A controlled Great Silence Barrier disabled communications and tracking around Homeworld, leaving Thundersun’s fate and the pursuit unresolved.

• Thundersun detonated the Sun God Tree, and the Star Alliance contained the blast with the World Cleansing Azure Light.
• Thundersun escaped aboard a hidden Extreme Burst Generation VI spacecraft while Shadow Fang ordered Shadow Zhou to pursue him.
• The Star Alliance Guard tracked Thundersun into space, and Thundersun sent a final warning to his former comrades before preparing to surrender.
• A Great Silence Barrier jammed tracking and communications across Homeworld, preventing the Guard from locating Thundersun or contacting the wormhole station.
• The Guard discovered that someone was actively controlling the barrier, and its officer lost sight of the targets after emerging from his ship.

As the Great Silence Barrier spread across the Sirius Star System, the Nomu people panicked and fled, fearing another invasion. Huang Ji and Nifita mobilized the Revival Society to restore order, and ordinary Nomu citizens rallied by carrying lights into space and forming their civilization’s flag.

• The Great Silence Barrier engulfed the Homeworld, Enmeiya Star Ring City, Botuolo’s orbit, and the Floating Continents, causing panic, accidents, and mass flight toward the wormhole.

• People arranged their lights into the image of the Nomu Civilization’s flag, reassuring the people that their civilization endured despite the spreading silence.

As the Great Silence disrupted communications, General Black Shark evacuated the Nomu military’s main force and left Colonel Juvan to defend the Homeworld. Juvan instead used the crisis to capture Shadow Zhou, leaving the Shadow Kill Legion blamed for the chaos and terrorist attacks.

• General Black Shark decided to evacuate the satellite base but ordered a unit to stay behind and guard the Homeworld.
• Colonel Juvan volunteered to remain, and Black Shark supplied him with equipment and personnel before withdrawing with the main force.
• Shadow Zhou lost contact with his allies under the Great Silence and flew toward a planned evacuation point.
• Juvan’s two battalions destroyed Shadow Zhou’s spacecraft and surrounded him, and Shadow Zhou surrendered.
• Juvan captured Shadow Zhou as the Revival Society’s plan turned the Anunnaki assassins into suspects blamed for the Great Silence and recent attacks.

Juvan’s forces captured Shadow Kill Legion members and took control of the Homeworld while Huang Ji prepared to extract Shadow Fang and Shadow Jie. Shadow Fang chose to flee with Shadow Jie and preserve Huang Ji’s undercover identity, leaving Huang Ji behind to continue gathering intelligence.

• Shadow Zhou blamed Thundersun for the Great Silence, and Juvan imprisoned him before capturing more Shadow Assassins with Huang Ji’s coordinates.
• Juvan brought troops to the Homeworld, coordinated with the Star Alliance Guard, and imposed military control while Huang Ji and Nifita remained hidden.
• Huang Ji put away the Great Silence Barrier, escaped with Nifita, and then contacted Shadow Fang and Shadow Jie, who were hiding in the northern mountains.
• Huang Ji gave Shadow Fang a list of enemy informants and military deployment information, then flew to the mountains to pick them up.

• Shadow Fang and Shadow Jie departed in the spacecraft after Huang Ji removed its hatches to make their escape look like a hijacking.

During the great silence, Fanny tried to flee with Varu and the corpse to keep the Seven Stars Medical Skill secret, but a guard caught them and stopped her. Her false accusation helped spark a battle between Myriad Eyes and Light Burst, leaving both sides fighting in space without any way to contact their superiors.

• Fanny and Varu tried to escape aboard a small craft, but a Myriad Eyes guard stopped them after spotting Varu carrying the corpse.
• Fanny attacked the guard, failed to defeat him, and sent Varu fleeing through a breach in the ship while she returned to find Halogen.
• Fanny told Halogen that a Myriad Eyes guard had attacked her, and Socia concluded that Myriad Eyes was using the great silence to arrange an internal assassination.
• The Myriad Eyes Special Kill Squad arrived to confront Fanny, and Socia ordered the Light Burst forces to attack them.
• Socia's opening bombardment struck the Myriad Eyes group, and the ensuing fight destroyed the safe-house ship and spilled into space.

After the Great Silence ended, Shadow Fang and Dulan dealt with Anunnaki's losses and planned to profit from falling housing prices, while Huang Ji used the crisis to protect his cover and prepare a financial trap. Huang Ji left the chapter anticipating an imminent financial storm as Shadow Zhou and the other prisoners were taken to their public execution.

• The Great Silence dissipated, the Nomu Race celebrated, and foreign factions reeled from the chaos as Shadow Fang hid from the Star Alliance with severe injuries.
• Dulan told Shadow Fang that Shadow Zhou and the others would be publicly executed, then ordered him to sell Void Lifeforms and buy Nomu property while prices fell.
• Huang Ji urged Shadow Fang to rescue the prisoners, but Shadow Fang refused and sent an apologetic recording for Huang Ji to deliver.
• At the prison, Huang Ji met Shadow Zhou and the other assassins, who suspected Juvan Colonel had tracked them during the Great Silence and revealed that they were all from the Golden Crow Race.
• Shadow Zhou and the others gave Huang Ji their tokens and asked him to warn the higher-ups about the Nomu Civilization, then went with the military toward the execution ground.
• Huang Ji told Juvan to draw foreign and local investors into the falling property market, and he predicted that a financial storm was certain.

Dulan learned that the Anunnaki’s informants in Lingzhu and Myriad Eyes had been exposed, then reluctantly agreed to rescue the high-level undercover agent Left Horn. He claimed to attack Lingzhu’s Life Science Center but waited near a wormhole instead, prepared to help Left Horn only if he escaped on his own.

• Ruuen told Dulan that the informants in the three major companies had been exposed, and Dulan urged him to arrest suspected Firebird Race members.
• Dulan rejected Ruuen’s plan to make Left Horn appear recruited, arguing that a direct extraction was more useful during the war.
• Ruuen insisted that company rules required rescuing high-level undercover agents, and Dulan agreed to go himself.
• Dulan told Ruuen he had reached Lingzhu’s Life Science Center and urged Left Horn to escape, though he was actually waiting near a wormhole a hundred million kilometers away.
• Dulan decided he would cover Left Horn if he detected him escaping, but otherwise return and claim he had done his best.

Left Horn escaped Lingzhu with an undercover assistant, but a Giant God Soldier destroyed their ship before Dulan could reach them. Cypher survived in an escape pod and Dulan rescued him, while Lingzhu mistakenly concluded that another undercover agent had escaped.

• Left Horn used an unexposed undercover assistant to escape the Lingzhu base and headed toward the Great Wormhole, expecting Dulan to meet him.
• Dulan told Left Horn he was still a hundred million kilometers away, and a Giant God Soldier destroyed Left Horn’s ship with a tracking projectile.
• Cypher survived the attack in an escape pod and followed Huang Ji’s instruction to fly straight toward the wormhole.
• Dulan arrived in a Golden Giant Bird Spaceship, deflected the projectile, rescued Cypher, and fled with him into the wormhole.
• Lingzhu investigators found Left Horn’s corpse and another dead expert, then realized an unidentified undercover agent had escaped.

Huang Ji persuaded Goldhorn to fund a high-stakes undercover mission inside the Anunnaki, using the chance to further his own plans. With Reaching Heaven Pavilion joining the Anti-Anunnaki Alliance, Huang Ji prepared to infiltrate the Anunnaki’s Special Affairs Department through someone close to Ruuen.

• Goldhorn told Huang Ji that Halogen and Lingzhu’s people had wiped out Myriad Eyes’ Special Kill Squad, while the alliance’s intelligence network had collapsed.
• Goldhorn explained that the Anunnaki had restored its funds and that Light Burst Group planned to send informants into the enemy.
• Goldhorn ordered Huang Ji to infiltrate the Anunnaki with a three-billion-Lang budget, but Huang Ji demanded ten billion and threatened to refuse.
• Goldhorn returned with the boss’s approval after Reaching Heaven Pavilion joined the alliance and supplied additional funds.
• Huang Ji accepted the mission under a military pledge and told Goldhorn he planned to enter the Special Affairs Department through someone close to Ruuen.

Huang Ji coordinated Anunnaki’s financial moves and learned that Light Burst would send him back as an infiltrator, giving him a chance to expose their agents. After discovering Lingzhu had produced a special gene-disguise substance tied to the Heavenfall Project, Dulan chose to attack its research center despite the risk of a costly war, leaving Anunnaki committed to defeating the alliance and destroying Lingzhu.

• Huang Ji transferred eighty billion lang to Oka and told him to ride the financial giants’ market push before their funds ran dry.
• Huang Ji told Shadow Fang that the Reaching Heaven Pavilion had joined the Anti-Anunnaki Alliance, but that he would infiltrate Anunnaki and could obtain the deployment roster of its agents.
• Cypher delivered a special grade gene disguise substance to Dulan, who learned it could threaten the secret Heavenfall Project and ordered an all-out assault on the Lingzhu Life Science Center.
• Shadow Fang warned Dulan that attacking the united factions could squander Anunnaki’s strategic advantage, but Dulan said Kaleidoscope had ordered him to ensure Lingzhu’s destruction.
• Dulan decided to keep fighting, use Huang Ji’s infiltration to gain an advantage, borrow money after driving up Nomu prices, and defeat Light Burst and its allies.

Fanny faced punishment from Lingzhu for provoking the battle between the allied companies, while her failed attempt to reproduce the Seven Stars Medical Skill left her unable to defend herself. As Lingzhu prepared to dismiss her and cancel her project, the Anunnaki attacked the research institute, interrupting the meeting.

• Fanny continued failing to reproduce Varu's self-healing and feared that Lingzhu would punish her if she could not prove her research had merit.
• Lingzhu admitted that Fanny had sparked the fighting aboard the Dark Ark, and the other bosses accepted her as the cause without pursuing the full truth.
• Fanny insisted that she had not ordered Varu's earlier betrayal and objected when Lingzhu tried to reveal her confidential research.
• Prince Stubi asked why Fanny had stolen Aurora's Assistant's body, prompting Lingzhu to begin explaining her claimed discovery of the Seven Stars Medical Skill.
• Lingzhu moved to remove Fanny and cancel her project, but an Anunnaki assault breached the research institute and the bosses' projections vanished amid signal interference.

Anunnaki unleashed a Nine Palaces Class Starburst Battle Cloud against the Bessel Open Star, devastating the companies’ defenses before the Star Alliance blocked it and allowed a conventional battle to continue. Dulan used the assault to target Lingzhu’s research division, while the Star Alliance gave his forces ten minutes to destroy it.

• Anunnaki’s Starburst Battle Cloud shattered the companies’ defenses and swept away much of their fleet as it threatened the Red Dwarf Star.
• The Star Alliance’s World Cleansing Azure Light stopped the battle cloud, but Anunnaki’s forces pierced the barrier and attacked the companies’ buildings.
• Stubi learned that the Star Alliance would not send more law enforcers and claimed it had no proof that Anunnaki was responsible.
• Anunnaki confined its attack to Lingzhu’s territory, and both sides began a costly battle as the Star Alliance watched.
• Dulan told a Star Alliance Law Enforcement Officer that he wanted Lingzhu’s research division destroyed, and the officer gave him ten minutes.

Podcasters turned the battle on Bessel Open Star into a spectacle while Dulan’s forces destroyed Lingzhu’s headquarters, research equipment, and data. Lingzhu’s chief chose to save the researchers, but the survivors included a suspected mole, leaving Fanny as his only trusted researcher and the Seven Stars Medical Skill project without essential resources.

• Podcasters and other bystanders joined the fighting on Bessel Open Star, and some attacked Lingzhu employees or staged dangerous stunts for their audiences.
• Dulan occupied Lingzhu’s territory and destroyed its research devices and data before withdrawing as the Star Alliance prepared to intervene.
• The Giant God Soldier brought Fanny and a handful of researchers to safety, and Lingzhu’s chief explained that he had prioritized saving people over data because he suspected the Anunnaki wanted the Seven Stars Medical Skill.
• Lingzhu, Fanny, and the Giant God Soldier concluded that a traitor had exposed Fanny’s work, while the chief urged the survivors to keep the project secret and rely on Fanny.
• The Giant God Soldier revealed that an unidentified mole might have escaped among the rescued researchers, leaving Lingzhu unable to trust the group or identify the agent because the records were destroyed.
• Fanny revealed that Lingzhu had also lost the Primordial Water formula, and the chief decided to avoid investigating Light Burst for a replacement and focus on recovering while the alliance fought the Anunnaki.

After the battle at Bessel Open Star, the Anti-Anunnaki Alliance helped Lingzhu recover while quietly investigating its secrets. Dulan used Shadow Long’s intelligence to trap infiltrators and planned to build Shadow Long’s standing by feeding Light Burst information about valuable shipments guarded by Anunnaki forces.

• The Star Alliance intervened after Dulan withdrew, seized Anunnaki’s Nine Palaces Class Starburst War Cloud, and captured or killed many Blackstone Mecha Warriors.
• The allied groups supported Lingzhu’s recovery rather than expelling it, while secretly placing moles and backdoors in its rebuilt headquarters.
• Anunnaki employees reported newly bribed infiltrators, costing the Anti-Anunnaki Alliance most of its new agents and bringing Dulan a windfall.
• Dulan told Shadow Fang that Shadow Long had been placed in the Special Affairs Department without Ruuen’s knowledge, and Shadow Fang explained that Light Burst was pressuring Shadow Long to prove himself.
• Dulan decided to give Shadow Long intelligence about valuable facilities and shipping routes, while strengthening Anunnaki’s guards so Light Burst would suffer losses if it raided the shipments.

The Alliance won several costly battles against Anunnaki, while Dulan pretended to retreat and prepared a counterattack. Huang Ji warned Light Burst’s boss and proposed a trap for Dulan, leaving the two sides set to meet on December 1 as both prepared to risk everything.

• The Alliance used Huang Ji’s intelligence to win a shipment ambush and destroy an Anunnaki factory, though both victories cost them heavily.
• After another Anunnaki loss, the Alliance offered ceasefire terms, but Dulan rejected them and ordered Shadow Fang to feign a retreat while preparing a decisive strike.
• The Alliance won three more clashes as Anunnaki closed malls and claimed it was preparing to surrender, but Huang Ji warned Light Burst’s boss that Dulan was concealing his plans and investing in the Nomu market.
• Huang Ji proposed that the bosses stage a meeting and leak its details so he could feed matching intelligence to Dulan’s undercover agents and draw Dulan into a trap.
• Light Burst’s boss agreed to meet on December 1 at 19:00, while Huang Ji warned that Dulan’s decision to cash out his Nomu investments would reveal whether he had taken the bait.
