Chapter Summaries

A month after the Nomu economy collapsed, Ziwei Group became the civilization’s dominant power and backed the Revival Society as it gained local autonomy. General Black Shark sought funds from Congress to crush the uprising, but the legislators refused to contribute enough, leaving him furious as the crisis deepened.

• Foreign investors withdrew from Nomu, worsening the economic collapse, while the government lost public trust and the Revival Society gained autonomy across many regions.
• General Black Shark told Congress that a hundred billion people supported the Revival Society and revealed that Ziwei Group had supplied it with weapons.
• Congress members learned that Ziwei Group had acquired most of Nomu’s assets and become the civilization’s richest power.

• Black Shark urged legislators to contribute their personal wealth, but they offered only a little over seventy million Lang.
• Black Shark stormed out of the congressional hall after mocking the legislators’ donations.

The Nomu Revival Society’s fleet reached the Homeworld, backed by the Ziwei Group’s transfer of valuable land and nine satellite fortresses. As Black Shark prepared to resist after failed attempts to negotiate his defection, Juvan revealed that he had secretly joined the Revival Army and seized Black Shark and his officers.

• The Ziwei Group transferred its Homeworld and Star Ring City holdings to the new government for one lang, helping rally Nomu citizens behind the Revival Society.
• Nifita led the Revival Society’s million-starship fleet and nine satellite fortresses to the Homeworld, where the forces halted outside the planet.

• Juvan urged Black Shark to switch sides and end the war without bloodshed, but Black Shark refused and rallied his officers to resist.
• Juvan revealed that he was the marshal of the Nomu Revival Second Army and led three hundred soldiers in capturing Black Shark and his officers.

Juvan’s forces captured the old government’s leaders and learned they had tried to invite the Bessel Civilization’s army into the civil war. As the Revival Society faced the risks of rebuilding the Nomu Civilization, Huang Ji sent Nifita to negotiate with the Anunnaki.

• Juvan captured the National Assembly congressmen after Huang Ji ordered him to storm the fortress.
• Juvan learned that the Tall Congressman had tried to secure Bessel military intervention in exchange for unlimited rights of passage and retaliation.
• The Tall Congressman argued that cooperating with powerful civilizations had kept the Nomu Civilization alive, while Juvan and Nifita condemned his decision to invite foreign troops.
• Oka said the Revival Society had applied to represent the Nomu Civilization in the Star Alliance, and he urged Nifita to prepare a founding ceremony and economic recovery plan.
• Huang Ji told Nifita to negotiate with the Anunnaki on behalf of the Ziwei Group and said her boss would lead her.

Nifita and Oka joined Huang Ji at negotiations between the Anunnaki and the Anti-Anunnaki Alliance, where a Buddhist faction’s representative was recording the proceedings. With a seat secured for the Ziwei Group, Huang Ji prepared to reclaim the spoils that belonged to Earth.

• Huang Ji introduced himself to Nifita and Oka as Isis and led them beyond the Orion Arm’s virtual world to the negotiating table.
• Huang Ji explained that Six-Tusk White Elephant was the notary for the negotiations and described the Buddhist faction’s power and contract-enforcement role.
• Nifita and Oka learned that Huang Ji had secured the Ziwei Group a seat by paying for the notary’s services.
• Huang Ji and the two watched Dulan and Light Burst haggle over the postwar agreement, which had already lasted two months.
• Huang Ji prepared to join the negotiations and reclaim Earth’s share of the spoils.

Dulan fought to limit the reparations in negotiations with the Alliance, but Six-Tusk White Elephant revealed that Ziwei Group would join the talks. Huang Ji admitted Ziwei Group had deliberately caused the economic crisis that crippled Dulan’s forces and told him, “This is retribution.”

• Dulan resisted Light Burst’s demands and threatened that further pressure could provoke Anunnaki headquarters to enter the war.
• Six-Tusk White Elephant silenced the hall and introduced Huang Ji, Nifita, and Oka as representatives of Ziwei Group and the Nomu Civilization.
• Dulan objected to Ziwei Group’s participation, but Lingzhu and the Deep Blue Consortium representative connected the group to the economic crisis that had undermined Dulan.
• Huang Ji admitted that he had exploited Dulan’s decision to mortgage military supplies through Wu Lu Sai and dealt him a fatal economic blow.
• Dulan accused Wu Lu Sai of betrayal and asked Huang Ji why he had targeted him; Huang Ji replied, “This is retribution.”

Huang Ji used Ziwei’s ties to the alliance and the threat of renewed war to push Anunnaki’s Dulan into accepting ten trillion in reparations. Dulan agreed, while Ziwei’s challenge left the negotiations’ future uncertain.

• Dulan learned that Ziwei and the Nomu people had joined the alliance against Anunnaki, and Reaching Heaven Pavilion revealed that Ziwei had warned it about Anunnaki’s plan to seize its market.
• Huang Ji explained that Anunnaki stood in Ziwei’s way, while Lingzhu and the other allies supported Ziwei because it had aided them and joined their cause.
• As Dulan resisted the alliance’s demands, Huang Ji offered to fight Anunnaki and raised the proposed reparations to ten trillion, prompting the Six-Tusk White Elephant to suspend negotiations.
• Dulan tried to return to Light Burst’s earlier seven-trillion proposal, but Light Burst insisted on ten trillion after Dulan revealed that amount was within Anunnaki’s limit.
• With renewed war looming and no better option, Dulan agreed to pay ten trillion.

Huang Ji secured Ziwei Group’s share of the settlement by claiming Anunnaki’s contracts for the Bessel Celestial Region’s Primitive Reserves, while the Nomu Civilization gained substantial compensation and commercial rights. After the agreement was signed, Dulan secretly tasked Shadow Long and Cypher with investigating Ziwei Group and preparing Anunnaki’s eventual return.

• Huang Ji objected to Anunnaki’s withdrawal terms and demanded its contracts for all fifty Primitive Reserves, which Dulan agreed to cede to Ziwei Group and the Nomu Civilization government.
• Light Burst, Lingzhu, and the others completed negotiations, securing a signed agreement that included four trillion in cash and compensation through assets, rights, and patents.
• Dulan befriended Huang Ji and secretly contacted Shadow Long, instructing the undercover agent to investigate Ziwei Group and its activities in the reserves.
• Dulan arranged for Cypher to remain behind as another contact, ordering him to report on Shadow Long and help establish Anunnaki’s future outposts.
• Dulan warned Huang Ji that he would keep watching Ziwei Group, while privately planning to use Shadow Long’s findings to return against them.

Eighty-eight days after Huang Ji left Earth, Kunlun Ruins researchers advanced their technology while the Anunnaki’s Little Greys unexpectedly returned. Aomazo announced Judgment Day and declared that the Anunnaki would take 666 survivors, leaving the researchers alarmed about what had happened.

• Huang Ji’s protection of Earth kept the Anunnaki from acting against it until they understood Ziwei Group’s strength.
• Sophia, Mu Yuan, Luo Yan, and the other Kunlun Ruins researchers developed antigravity vehicles and energy weapons, though they could not reproduce Dis’s Thunder Hammer.
• Alan detected a shielded flying saucer descending from the Moon, and Yu Mo Shuo reported that it had landed at Area 51.
• Feis warned that the Little Greys’ unexpected arrival signaled a major development, so several combat personnel headed toward America.
• Brando reported that Aomazo had declared Judgment Day and said the Anunnaki would take 666 survivors.

After the Anunnaki ordered their withdrawal from Earth, Kabuli told Aomazo to eliminate the Illuminati and erase evidence of their dealings. The Kunlun Ruins fighters gathered at Area 51 to confront Aomazo and learn what catastrophe had caused the sudden Great Judgment, while Huang Ji remained far away.

• Kabuli ordered Aomazo and the Little Greys to kill the Illuminati’s leaders, destroy evidence, and leave fabricated links to the Lizardmen.
• Aomazo took Dis’s children, Famuli and his sibling, from the Moon Base and abandoned them in an escape pod in the woods.
• Aomazo arrived at Area 51, announced the Great Judgment, and invited Illuminati members to seek places among those who would leave Earth.
• Amu alerted the Kunlun Ruins group, and its fighters rushed toward Area 51 to learn what was happening rather than seek escape places.
• Feis, Luo Yan, Amu, and the others suspected Aomazo intended to gather and kill them, but Brando urged them to confront him before the Anunnaki withdrew.

The Kunlun Warriors ambushed Aomazo and the Little Greys at Area 51, capturing Aomazo while battling a powerful mecha. Aomazo secretly sent a message to Kabuli, leaving the humans facing an imminent response from the Angel of Death.

• Amu lured Illuminati fanatics to Area 51, where Aomazo prepared to kill them after discovering that only about a thousand people had arrived.
• Amu blocked Aomazo’s attack, and Luo Yan led the Kunlun Warriors in overpowering the Little Greys while Brando destroyed Aomazo’s floating computer.
• The Kunlun Warriors struggled against a powerful Little Grey in a Silver Mecha as the battle wrecked Area 51 and forced Amu and others to withdraw with their captives.
• Brando interrogated Aomazo, who revealed that Kabuli planned to push humanity’s civilization backward before the Anunnaki left Earth.
• Aomazo secretly used the flying saucer to transmit a message to Kabuli, and Chu Shaojun detected the transmission after it had gone through.

Brando and the Kunlun Ruins learned that Kabuli was coming to Earth after the Little Greys’ warning, while Feis revealed that the Anunnaki were withdrawing because Earth had been ceded to the Ziwei Group. With humanity unable to defeat Kabuli, Brando ordered the Kunlun Ruins members to take their families to Torch Dragon Base and spend the remaining time with them.

• Chu Shaojun hacked the Silver Mecha, allowing Brando to kill its pilot, while Brandy killed the other Little Greys and Brando kept Aomazo alive for questioning.
• Aomazo described Kabuli’s powerful vessel and abilities, and Feis returned with Dis’s battered children and explained that the Anunnaki were leaving Earth after it changed hands.
• Aomazo confirmed that the original Great Judgment targeted the Illuminati, but warned that Kabuli might now punish humanity for becoming a threat.
• Chu Shaojun received Kabuli’s message that he was coming to Earth, and Brando realized their attack had drawn him there.
• Brando told the group they could not win, ordered members with families to leave for them, and commanded every Kunlun Ruins member to take their family to Torch Dragon Base.

Kabuli turned back toward Earth after learning that the Little Greys had been defeated and the Illuminati might have turned against the Anunnaki. In Nevada, Brando and Feis prepared to face the coming danger, with Brando choosing to trust Huang Ji and buy him time.

• Kabuli detected a Ziwei Group ship racing toward Earth, then left the Moon after blacklisting Aomazo and setting the lunar system to kill him when he departed.
• Aomazo's distress signal told Kabuli that humans had wiped out the Little Greys, so Kabuli suspected the Illuminati had become the Anunnaki's enemies and turned back toward Earth.
• Brando sent everyone away except Feis, Aomazo, and the diehard Illuminati members in Nevada, while Feis and Brando argued over who should stay behind.
• Feis reflected on how people and enemies changed, and Brando said he would hold things together and trust Huang Ji to respond.

Feis arranged for Aomazo to identify the remaining Illuminati as the last survivors, allowing Brando to escape while Feis stayed behind to confront Kabuli. Kabuli arrived and used radiation to destroy the genetic chains of everyone within ten kilometers, leaving Feis and more than sixteen hundred people dying from gene collapse.

• Feis rejected Brando’s offer to stay behind, revealed his plan to impersonate Aomazo, and forced Aomazo to cooperate by threatening to expose his secret about Famuli.

• Feis used Dragonization to reach S9, while Aomazo told Kabuli that the Illuminati and his own group had fought until only a few survivors remained.
• Feis charged Kabuli in the Silver Mecha, but the mecha fell apart, and Kabuli announced that he would clean up the remaining humans.
• Aomazo revealed that Kabuli had used radiation to destroy the genetic chains of everyone within ten kilometers, and Feis’s horns fell off as his body began to collapse.

Kabuli stayed to hunt down the Kunlun Warriors after Aomazo revealed their numbers, while Feis and Brando tried to stop him. Aomazo died, but Kabuli found the gathered warriors and the chapter ended with Famuli charging him and striking his force field.

• Radiation from Kabuli caused Feis and Aomazo to suffer fatal Gene Collapse, and Aomazo told Kabuli that more than a hundred horned humans were hiding on Earth.
• Kabuli ordered Aomazo to locate the Kunlun Warriors, and Feis attacked Aomazo but was stopped by Kabuli's electromagnetic field.
• Brando returned in a Silver Winged God Mecha and attacked Kabuli, then revealed his Mutated Spores had killed Aomazo.
• Kabuli discovered the spores in Aomazo's body and saw the approaching mechas and fighter jets, while his force field defeated their attacks.
• The Kunlun Warriors gathered, and Kabuli identified 104 people; Famuli and Visiou ran to Feis before Famuli charged Kabuli and hit his force field.

Kabuli’s attack nearly killed the returning Kunlun Warriors, but a Vacuum Cut brought Huang Ji to Earth. Huang Ji revealed that Earth was home, healed Feis, and effortlessly defeated Kabuli, leaving the group beneath a clear sky.

• Kabuli destroyed Luo Yan’s and Mu Yuan’s mechs and prepared to wipe out everyone with a massive plasma attack.
• Brando struck Kabuli’s spaceship with the Sun-Shooting Arrow, survived a Scarlet Heat Bomb, and then a Vacuum Cut stopped the plasma sphere and delivered a message.

Huang Ji brought the Kunlun Warriors to the Moon, equipped them with advanced resources, and transformed them to nitrogen rank 7. When Kabuli fought them, Lin Li used Huang Ji’s guidance to defeat him, and Kabuli died after warning Dulan to beware of Huang Ji.

• Cypher reported that the lunar system had been taken over and that Professor Hawking had been found, while Huang Ji offered the lunar inspector position to the Kunlun Warriors.
• Huang Ji used the ship’s equipment and his techniques to upgrade the Kunlun Warriors, who discovered their new strength and learned they had reached nitrogen rank 7 in energy reserves.

• Lin Li overwhelmed Kabuli while Huang Ji refused to intervene, and Kabuli died after realizing Huang Ji was truly Huang Ji and warning Dulan to beware of him.

Dulan dismissed Kabuli’s death and ordered Huang Ji to investigate Lin Li while avoiding a rash confrontation with the Ziwei Group. Huang Ji brought the Kunlun Ruins to the Nomu Civilization to build their future in space, leaving humanity to prepare independently for the Gamma-ray Burst as the group learned how the Galaxy Battle Tournament could win territory and resources.

• Dulan told Huang Ji to watch Lin Li and uncover Huang Ji’s background, while postponing retaliation against the Ziwei Group.
• Huang Ji returned the group to their former appearances and told the Kunlun Ruins that humanity had to overcome the Gamma-ray Burst without their help.
• Yu Mo Shuo accepted responsibility for humanity’s research, while Huang Ji led most of the Kunlun Ruins through a wormhole to the Nomu Civilization to establish research and industrial centers.
• Vahana and Alexei asked about obtaining their own territory, and Huang Ji explained that the Star Alliance awarded planets and other benefits through the Galaxy Battle Tournament.
• Brando urged Lin Li to compete, and Huang Ji predicted that Lin Li could become a king and urged him to aim for emperor.

Huang Ji helped Nifita and Oka plan the Nomu Civilization’s recovery, explaining that they needed reserved territory to protect their economy and independence. He promised Ziwei would secure the Sirius Star System through Galaxy Battle Tournament rewards and establish a joint research institute, while secretly admitting he had far fewer complete micro-particle technologies than he claimed.

• Nifita and Oka told Huang Ji about the new government’s reforms and their plan to seek independence for the Sirius Star System.
• Huang Ji warned that the Star Alliance would not give up an Open Star through an application and advised the Nomu to obtain reserved territory through exchange.

• Huang Ji proposed that Ziwei and the Nomu Civilization establish a research institute, with Ziwei supplying technology and the Nomu supplying scholars, facilities, and funding.
• Huang Ji claimed Ziwei possessed about fifty thousand sets of micro-particle technology, then cautioned the Nomu to rebuild its atomic-peak industrial base before attempting to use it.
• After the Nomu leaders began organizing the institute, Huang Ji privately admitted that he had only five complete micro-particle technology sets and had exaggerated the rest.
