Chapter Summaries

Hilton struggled to get the headquarters’ new AI, Wednesday, to track Su Yu, then replaced it with the older AI, Davis, which successfully located him. Meanwhile, Su Yu and Morningstar arrived in Trena City and headed for the slums to begin their plan.

• Hilton ordered Wednesday to locate and monitor Su Yu, but it refused because it wanted to protect the alien’s privacy.
• Su Yu admired Trena City’s advanced technology and enormous pyramid building with Morningstar, then set course for the slums to recruit a gang member through Mind Control.
• Hilton uninstalled Wednesday and restored Davis, which quickly displayed Su Yu’s Hovercar and identified him as an unusually adaptable alien.
• Davis admitted that it usually lied to Hilton, and Hilton learned that its honest response to his praise would have been, “What the hell does that have to do with me, sir?”

Su Yu entered Trena City’s Slums and used Mind Control to recruit gang lieutenant Bobby, taking the gang’s money for Floating Island tickets. After Bobby warned him that Hilton and five sixth-tier experts were searching the Slums, Su Yu sensed a powerful presence approaching and turned invisible.

• Su Yu arrived at the Slums, hid his Hovercar, and entered under Invisibility while six Skrull High-tier Experts landed nearby and began searching for him.
• Su Yu controlled third-tier gang lieutenant Bobby and learned he had 215 men under him but no personal money.
• Bobby offered the 1.52 million Renket Coins his gang had collected to buy Floating Island tickets, and Su Yu had him withdraw the cash.
• Su Yu asked Bobby where to buy mid- to high-end electronics, but Bobby warned that Hilton and five sixth-tier experts were searching the Slums for someone suspicious.
• Su Yu sensed a powerful aura drawing near and activated Invisibility.

Su Yu stayed hidden in Bobby's apartment while Hilton's search teams combed the Slums, then used Bobby to sell gold and buy technology and gifts for his return to Blue Star. On the fifth day, the Alien Apprehension Command began reviewing Su Yu's uncovered activities in the Solar Empire.

• Hilton ended the search after two days, and Morningstar secretly marked him with an Astral Beacon as the experts flew away.
• Su Yu emerged from hiding, contacted Bobby, and spent the next two days directing him to sell gold and buy electronics, Hovercars, and gifts for Donna.
• Bobby found no information about the two seniors, leaving Su Yu regretful but relieved that they were likely safe.
• At the Alien Apprehension Command, agents identified Su Yu as “Number One” and presented evidence of his actions in Honglin Town to Hilton and the senior officials.

Skrull officials identified Number One as Su Yu and Speaker Cass ordered Trena City sealed to capture him. After agents linked Su Yu to Bobby and his unusual purchases, Cass activated Trena’s Golden Giant Eye, which devastated the northern Slums.

• Hilton concluded that Number One had looted the Psionic Cultivation School and controlled two Skrulls before traveling to Trena City.
• Hilton reported the agents’ findings to Speaker Cass, who identified Number One as the human responsible for sinking the Floating Island and ordered Trena City sealed.
• An agent revealed that Number One had used a gold nugget to stop a vehicle and that Bobby had recently sold dozens of kilograms of gold and bought unusual electronics and Hovercars.
• Hilton inferred that Su Yu was near Bobby’s home and prepared to send personnel after him.
• Speaker Cass activated a device that opened the Golden Giant Eye atop Trena Skyscraper Tower, which fired a laser and blasted a massive crater into the Slums.

After escaping the Skyscraper Tower’s attack, Su Yu learned that Chairman Kass had knowingly sacrificed Slums residents to eliminate him. Furious over Bobby’s death and the Skrulls’ repeated attempts to kill him, Su Yu chose to avenge himself by triggering a second Floating Island explosion.

• Chairman Kass dismissed the deaths of Slums residents after the Skyscraper Tower fired on them, calling their elimination useful for his reelection.
• Morningstar relayed Kass’s meeting to Su Yu, who escaped the Slums before the laser struck and wiped Bobby’s memory as he fled.
• Su Yu survived the blast and vowed to avenge Bobby, while Morningstar reminded him that he had destroyed the Floating Island before.
• Su Yu rejected his plans to destroy the Skyscraper Tower or infiltrate a high-society banquet and chose to breach the Floating Island’s barrier and trigger another explosion.

Su Yu reached the sealed Floating Island while Speaker Cass defended the operation against Number One at a press conference. Two dragons appeared, vanished beside the seal, and triggered a catastrophic explosion that shattered it.

• Su Yu prepared his Hearthstone and Tina Garcia's Amulet, then traveled north through the Slums while invisible.
• Su Yu reached the Floating Island's barrier and asked Morning Star whether they could break it.
• Speaker Cass claimed Number One had been eliminated and justified the operation's civilian casualties as necessary sacrifices.
• Two enormous dragons appeared in the northern sky and vanished beside the Floating Island's seal before Stidim could reach them.
• A dazzling light detonated against the barrier, igniting the psionic energy and shattering the seal in a blast that engulfed several blocks.

Su Yu and Morningstar attacked the barrier while fighting off Skrull experts, hoping to escape before Stidim arrived. As Su Yu began channeling his Hearthstone, Stidim’s Mind Pierce threatened to hit him, and Morningstar threw a round object in front of him.

• Morningstar judged that she and Su Yu could break the barrier, but warned that they had only thirty seconds before Stidim could reach them and that Skrull experts would attack.
• Morningstar transformed into her Star Core Dragon form and used Star Rainbow Focus, while Su Yu transformed into a blue dragon and bombarded the barrier with powerful spells.
• Nearby Skrull experts attacked Su Yu and Morningstar, so Su Yu used his sword, Stars Fall, and Moon God's Descent to stun and strike them.
• Stidim appeared in the western sky just thirteen seconds after Su Yu transformed, and Su Yu activated his Hearthstone while Morningstar protected him.
• Stidim cast Mind Pierce from twenty kilometers away, and Morningstar threw a round object in front of Su Yu as the spell neared.

Su Yu escaped Stidim’s Mind Pierce with Morningstar’s Wall-nut and detonated the Skrull protective barrier, causing a vast explosion before teleporting away. He reached the desert near Donglin Town badly injured and drained, where Morningstar began treating him.

• Morningstar used the Wall-nut to block Stidim’s Mind Pierce while Su Yu finished casting Hearthstone and teleported away.
• Su Yu’s psionic message taunted the Skrulls, then the explosion breached the unstable protective barrier and devastated several surrounding blocks.
• Stidim contained the blast with a larger barrier, and Speaker Kars issued a 100-billion-Renket-Coin bounty for Su Yu’s death.
• News of the disaster and bounty spread across the world, stirring fear and greed among the Skrulls.
• Su Yu arrived in the desert beside Donglin Town in critical condition, and Morningstar used starlight and an invigorating skill to help him recover.

Su Yu and Morning Star escaped the site of his teleportation before Stidim could capture him, while Rant blocked Stidim from pursuing him in Solar Empire territory. Su Yu and Morning Star headed toward Gloomy City to obtain a legal identity and travel to Beck Country by a safer route.

• Morning Star carried Su Yu away from the teleportation site after warning that nearby experts might notice the spatial disturbance.
• Stidim arrived to track Su Yu, but Rant confronted him and refused to let him pursue the fugitive through Solar Empire territory.
• Morning Star carried Su Yu toward Sun City before turning south to avoid the direct route through the Renket Alliance.
• Su Yu told Morning Star they would travel to Gloomy City to obtain a legal identity and then fly to Beck Country.

Su Yu obtained a new identity in Gloomy City and flew to Beck Country, while Zhu Guorui cultivated in Makaton and learned about Su Yu’s attack on the Renket Alliance. Zhu Guorui recognized Su Yu in the news and discovered that the Solar Empire’s tax decree had discouraged its experts from hunting him.

• Su Yu manipulated a gang leader in Gloomy City to obtain a legitimate male identity, then left for Beck Country by plane.
• Zhu Guorui cultivated in a psionic-rich cavern in Makaton and considered staying on Skrull Star until Su Yu returned.
• Zhu Guorui’s servant White told him that a Blue Star Human had caused more than a hundred thousand civilian deaths in the Renket Alliance.
• Zhu Guorui watched footage of Su Yu and Morning Star and silently praised Su Yu for causing trouble in enemy territory.
• White showed Zhu Guorui Lante’s decree requiring Solar Empire experts to pay seventy percent of their reward for killing Number One as tax, which discouraged them from hunting Su Yu.

Su Yu arrived in Beck City, where he planned to secure his Hearthstone before continuing his usual search for local allies. Meanwhile, a powerful purple Electric Mouse searched the Savage Continent for treasure using Su Yu’s map.

• Zhu Guorui heard that the Solar Empire and Renket Alliance were escalating their public feud, then returned to cultivate and prepare for Makaton.
• On the Savage Continent, a purple Electric Mouse defeated a pack of giant wolves with help from its Electric Mouse companions and collected their power cores.
• The purple Electric Mouse said Su Yu’s treasure-map location was nearby and sent its subordinates to search while wondering how Su Yu and Old Zhu were doing.
• Su Yu arrived in Beck City with Morningstar and explained that he first intended to bind his Hearthstone somewhere safe outside the city.
• Su Yu exchanged Solar Coins for Beck Coins and took a taxi toward the outskirts.

Su Yu traveled to Beck City to meet Cindy Doppler, the leader of the Anti-United Organization, and offered him cooperation against a war between the planets. They began talks at Doppler’s home, where Su Yu shared a Blue Star drink with him.

• Su Yu set a Hearthstone teleportation point outside Balle and returned to Beck City.
• Su Yu and Morningstar entered Cindy Doppler’s mansion unseen and waited for him to return home.
• Su Yu contacted Doppler telepathically while Doppler was with his wife, prompting him to leave and meet Number One in his youngest son’s room.
• Su Yu introduced himself as Number One and assured Doppler that he had come to cooperate and would not harm his family.
• Doppler led Su Yu to a soundproofed reception room and offered him Raiko Worm juice, while Su Yu offered Doppler a bottle of cola.

Su Yu tried to secure Beck Country’s cooperation by offering profitable trade with Blue Star and promising that Blue Star would soon have powerful experts to protect it. Cindy Doppler was startled by Su Yu’s claims and the invitation to the Silver Federation’s Secret Court of Prophecy, leaving him too stunned to respond.

• Cindy Doppler tasted Pepsi, compared it unfavorably to Raiko Worm juice, and then asked Su Yu why he had come.
• Su Yu proposed cooperation, and Cindy questioned the benefits to Beck Country and the risk of angering the Lunket Alliance.
• Su Yu offered Beck Country exclusive trade in Blue Star’s mineral resources, and Cindy recognized the potential profits.
• Su Yu predicted that Blue Star would gain more than a hundred Tier 7 Legends and three to five Tier 8 experts within a year, including himself.
• Su Yu showed Cindy his invitation to the Silver Federation’s Secret Court of Prophecy, leaving Cindy utterly stunned.

Su Yu and Cindy Doppler agreed to cooperate, with Su Yu selling him precious metals in exchange for advanced technology and cultivation methods. After hiding in Cindy’s mansion for two days while the Lunket Alliance searched elsewhere, Su Yu prepared to leave Skrull Star when Cindy returned with the first batch of goods.

• Su Yu proved his connection to the Silver Federation with his Watcher Beacon, and Cindy agreed to cooperate with him and Blue Star.
• Su Yu and Cindy signed an agreement: Su Yu would sell him gold, silver, and platinum at half the market price, while Cindy would use his connections to procure technology and cultivation methods and fund his election campaign.
• Su Yu advised Cindy to publicize the Skrull Federation government’s failures, and Cindy invited Su Yu to stay at his mansion while he arranged the first batch of goods.
• The Lunket Alliance searched mainly in the Solar Empire, leaving Su Yu undisturbed in Beck Country for two days.
• Cindy returned home with the requested items as Su Yu and Morning Star prepared to leave Skrull Star.

Su Yu learned that the Sword of Myriad Truths’ hilt was about to emerge on the Savage Continent, drawing powerful experts from across the world. Though Morningstar wanted to go see it, Su Yu refused because of the danger and their imminent return to Blue Star.

• Cindy Doppler told Su Yu that a major international event had alarmed experts above Tier 7 and that the Sword of Myriad Truths had emerged.
• Cindy Doppler explained that the sword’s hilt was about to surface on the Savage Continent and that combining it with the blade could grant power enough to rule Skrull Star.
• Su Yu questioned the sword’s existence, while Cindy Doppler explained its history and the power of Planetary-level and Star-level Experts.
• Morningstar became curious about the greater world and asked Su Yu to visit the Savage Continent with her.
• Su Yu refused because God-tier and Legendary experts had gathered there and he and Morningstar had only one day before returning to Blue Star.

Su Yu toured Cindy Doppler’s underground collection of advanced technology and received technical documents and cultivation methods. He gave Cindy a Space Ring in return, and they agreed to trade more rings in four months.

• Cindy Doppler led Su Yu and Morningstar through an underground warehouse filled with hovercars, robots, weapons, communication devices, and combat mechs.
• Cindy Doppler gave Su Yu a case containing information on Skrull Star’s energy, fusion, anti-gravity, and laser technologies, along with common Spiritual Cultivation Methods.
• Su Yu questioned whether his precious metals had covered the value of the collection, but Cindy Doppler treated the deal as a way to build their friendship.
• Su Yu gave Cindy Doppler a Space Ring he had made, and Cindy Doppler said such a ring was worth at least forty million Solar Coins on Skrull Star.
• Su Yu said Blue Star could mass-produce Space Rings in four months, and Cindy Doppler eagerly agreed to trade again then.

Su Yu learned that Chancellor Cao, identified as Number Two, had entered the Inheritance Secret Realm around the Sword of Myriad Truths’ hilt. After learning that Speaker Kars remained in the country while the Renket Federation’s other high-tier experts were away, Su Yu decided to fly to the Savage Continent.

• Cindy Doppler received an urgent call about a major discovery on the Savage Continent, while Morning Star urged Su Yu to go there and see what was happening.
• Su Yu refused to join the dangerous struggle over the Super Divine Artifact and cleared the underground space while Morning Star translated a book.
• Doppler returned and revealed that Number Two was a Blue Star Human disguised as a purple Electric Mouse; a reconstructed image showed Chancellor Cao’s face.
• Doppler explained that Chancellor Cao remained inside the Inheritance Secret Realm, where experts were competing to claim the Sword of Myriad Truths’ hilt.
• Su Yu learned that Speaker Kars was still in the country and ordered Doppler to prepare a fighter jet for his trip to the Savage Continent.

Su Yu traveled toward Trena City to assassinate Cass while the Renket Alliance’s High-tier Experts were away, but he learned that Chancellor Cao had won the Super Divine Artifact inheritance battle and was being hunted by ten God-tier Experts. Su Yu decided to proceed with the assassination before the Alliance’s experts returned.

• Su Yu told Cindy Doppler that he planned to infiltrate Trena City and assassinate Cass, and Doppler supported him and provided a fighter jet.
• Su Yu and Morningstar flew toward the Savage Continent, then continued on foot through deserted routes toward Trena City.

• Su Yu replied that he and Morningstar would act immediately.

Su Yu infiltrated Speaker Kass’s press conference and summoned Tina Garcia to draw Kass’s attention. Tina arrived in the Blue Star-Skrull Star world with ten revival opportunities and found herself surrounded by hostile Skrulls.

• Su Yu and Morningstar watched footage showing Chancellor Cao obtaining the Super Divine Artifact, then flew toward Speaker Kass’s residence.
• Su Yu infiltrated the press conference hall and activated Tina Garcia’s Summoning Scroll.
• Speaker Kass claimed the Skrulls were best suited to possess the Super Divine Artifact and dismissed the danger posed by Number One.
• Tina Garcia appeared in a flash of golden light as Bernina explained her ability to travel between worlds and her ten revival opportunities.
• Tina realized she had been summoned to Kexing’s world and saw the green-skinned humans staring at her with hostility.

Su Yu used Tina’s Psionic Energy illusion to draw Speaker Kas and the other Skrull officials into attacking, then ambushed Kas and Vice Speaker Gordon with Ghost Cat’s Echo. With no seventh-tier experts nearby, Su Yu and Morningstar transformed and attacked Hilton and the press hall, leaving the Lunket Alliance’s top officials dead or incapacitated.

• Tina teleported into the press hall and was destroyed by attacks from Speaker Kas, Hilton, Rice, and Gordon, but the four realized she had been an illusion.
