• Marnina ordered Lanqi to summon Plante and other powerful fighters to defend the spring, including Simmons and Shilin to counter Su Yu and Cat Morning Star if they arrived.

Lanqi, Marnina XIII, and Prang reviewed the Skrulls’ setbacks on Blue Star and assigned responsibility for the worsening stalemate. Marnina proposed three plans to turn the situation around, naming them but not yet explaining their details.

• Lanqi reported that the defenses at Base 0002 were ready, and Prang said he could hold Cao Cao but probably could not defeat him quickly.
• Lanqi warned that the Skrulls needed to change their overall strategy before the Blue Star Humans seized more bases and springs.
• Marnina traced the stalemate to the invasion’s losses, Cass’s failures, and the Green Crown Bird plan’s defeat, then blamed Lanqi and Victoria for letting Cao Cao return.
• Prang acknowledged that he and Victoria shared responsibility and asked Marnina for countermeasures.
• Marnina said they would pursue three plans simultaneously and named them the Absolute Defense plan, the Explosive Mining plan, and the White-headed Eagle plan.

Marnina, Plante, and Lanqi agreed on three plans to counter the Blue Star offensive: guard the major Psionic Springs, drain the small springs, and strengthen the Surrender Faction. The story returned to the Kunlun Mountains, where Chancellor Cao began briefing Su Yu and the Great Cultivators on the Skrull base.

• Marnina proposed the Absolute Defense plan, and Plante agreed that he, Victoria, and Stidim would watch Cao Cao and Su Yu and defend the large and Giant Psionic Springs.

• Marnina revealed the White-headed Eagle plan to support the Surrender Faction and use Gordon, Pacific Nation's prime minister, to disrupt the Blue Star United Government.
• Lanqi agreed to carry out all three plans, while Plante ended the call after detecting Blue Star's approaching main force.
• At the Giant Psionic Spring in the Kunlun Mountains, Chancellor Cao finished assessing the Skrull base and began explaining its defenses to Su Yu and the Great Cultivators.

Blue Star’s forces reached the heavily defended Skrull Base 0002 and prepared to attack. Chancellor Cao assigned the Skrull powerhouses to their opponents, while Alijeh’s hidden strength remained unknown to the enemy.

• Chancellor Cao detected one Tier 8 Skrull and two peak Tier 7s, then assigned himself the Tier 8 and the others the two Tier 7s.
• Su Yu gave Alijeh a Holy Light Chant potion and instructed her, Tina, and Cat Morning Star how to fight and protect the cultivators.
• Chancellor Cao warned the Great Cultivators about the Skrull base’s defenses and ordered them to prioritize survival.
• Plante assigned Simmons and Shilin to face the Blue Star forces, unaware that Alijeh could reach peak Tier 7.
• After more than twenty minutes, the Blue Star forces arrived outside Base 0002, where Chancellor Cao ordered them to withdraw if stronger Skrull reinforcements appeared.

Chancellor Cao rejected Pu’s offer and damaged the shield around Skrull Base, then the two God-tier experts went to fight beyond the atmosphere. Su Yu and the Blue Star experts breached the shield and began battling the Skrull forces, with Alijeh quickly gaining the upper hand against Simmons.

• Pu offered Chancellor Cao land equal to half of Asia in exchange for peace, but Cao refused and struck the spherical shield with his sword hilt.
• Pu and Chancellor Cao flew into outer space to settle their fight away from the base.
• Su Yu strengthened his allies with Greater Arcane Intellect, and Alijeh used her ultimate attack to shatter the weakened shield.
• Simmons and the Skrull experts charged the Blue Star forces as Alijeh led the attack, Su Yu’s group targeted Shilin, and the Great Cultivators formed the Heavenly Dipper Great Array.
• Alijeh transformed into Beyanna’s Fighting God form and drove Simmons back with a rapid chain of skills.

Su Yu and the Blue Star cultivators gained the upper hand against the Skrull defenders at the Kunlun Mountains Psionic Spring, prompting Skrull leaders to send reinforcements. Victoria crossed the Space Rift and attacked the retreating Blue Star formation, leaving two Tier 6 cultivators unconscious.

• Su Yu, Morningstar, Tina, and Senior Yang overwhelmed Shilin while the Blue Star Tier 6 cultivators endured Skrull beam attacks behind the Heavenly Dipper Great Array.
• Marnina XIII and Lanqi recognized that Shilin was close to defeat, so Marnina ordered Lanqi and two other Tier 7s to reinforce the battle.
• Su Yu noticed the Space Rift fluctuating and ordered the Blue Star forces to withdraw from the Psionic Spring's range as reinforcements approached.
• Victoria, the Skrull Star God-level known as the Shining Queen, emerged from the Space Rift and launched Mind Pierce at the retreating Blue Star formation.
• Victoria's attack tore through the Psionic Energy of two Tier 6 cultivators, causing them to fall unconscious.

Victoria killed Sima Yan and Fu Jian with a mental attack before Su Yu protected the remaining Great Cultivators with Skallo’s soul and led them out of the Psionic Spring. Alijeh drank the Holy Light Chant potion and gained temporary God-tier power, while Su Yu and his allies turned back to attack Shilin amid the chaos.

• Victoria’s Mind Pierce killed Sima Yan and Fu Jian, and Emperor Liu Che caught their falling bodies.
• Su Yu used the Ring of Rebirth to summon Skallo’s soul, forcing Victoria to withdraw her next Mind Pierce and allowing the Great Cultivators to escape.
• Victoria targeted Su Yu with Mind Anchor, but Alijeh drank the Holy Light Chant potion, gained temporary God-tier power, and destroyed the Skrull Base’s military installations with holy light.
• Alijeh wounded Simmons with Blazing Dragon Crescent Slash, but Victoria redirected Mind Anchor and disrupted Alijeh’s attempt to finish him.
• Su Yu, Tina, Morningstar, and Senior Yang turned back and unleashed their ultimate moves against Shilin while reinforcements were unable to arrive.

After Alijeh’s sudden burst of power helped Su Yu and the Blue Star experts overwhelm Shilin, Plante intervened and negotiated the Skrull Expeditionary Force’s surrender in exchange for a safe withdrawal. The Blue Star forces left with the Giant Psionic Spring secured, while Victoria concluded that Su Yu had brought Alijeh out of the game.

• Marnina and Lanqi watched Shilin near defeat and feared the Silver Federation was giving Blue Star an unfair advantage.
• Plante teleported beside Shilin and used his mecha’s shield to block Su Yu and the others’ attacks.
• Plante admitted defeat and offered the Giant Psionic Spring in exchange for his forces’ safe withdrawal from Blue Star.
• Chancellor Cao accepted Plante’s terms, and he and Alijeh escorted the Blue Star experts out of the spring’s range.
• Victoria told Plante that Alijeh was likely a Battle Mage whom Su Yu had brought out of the game.

Marnina ordered the Skrull to investigate whether they could enter the game Evolution after learning how much it affected the war. After the battle, Su Yu tried to use the Goblin Pacemaker XXXL to revive Sima Yan and Fu Jian.

• Plante asked Marnina whether the Skrull could enter Evolution, and Marnina promised to investigate.
• Marnina learned that Skrull could not connect to Evolution, but Jennifer told him Cecilian had proposed implanting a Skrull soul into a Blue Star Human body.
• Marnina ordered Jennifer to find Cecilian and resume his research, and he asked for all materials about Evolution to be sent to the archives.
• The Skrull began clearing the Giant Psionic Spring base while Su Yu and the Great Cultivators retreated, grieving Sima Yan and Fu Jian.
• Su Yu remembered the Goblin Pacemaker XXXL and asked Liu Che to place the two bodies on the mountaintop.
• Morning Star brought out the item as the Great Cultivators urged Su Yu to try it and proposed forming the Nine-Bend Soul Returning Formation again.

Su Yu and the Great Cultivators used the Goblin Pacemaker XXXL with the Nine-Bend Soul Returning Formation to resurrect Sima Yan and Fu Jian. The two were sent to Yunlu Mountain to recover, while Su Yu warned that the pacemaker had only three uses left and strict limits.

• The Great Cultivators rebuilt the Nine-Bend Soul Returning Formation, and Alijeh offered to operate Su Yu's Goblin Pacemaker XXXL.
• Alijeh shocked Sima Yan and Fu Jian, restoring their heartbeats, blood flow, and damaged Psionic Energy while Chancellor Cao healed them.
• After an hour, Chancellor Cao declared both cultivators out of danger and said they needed rest and spiritual energy to recover fully.
• Su Yu explained that the pacemaker could not revive someone dead for over two hours or with a corpse less than 85% intact, and that it had only three uses remaining.
• Chancellor Cao asked Emperor Liu Che to take Sima Yan and Fu Jian to Yunlu Mountain, and Liu Che flew north with them.

Su Yu and the Great Cultivators planned to reclaim the Psionic Springs in the Kunlun Mountains while the Skrulls evacuated, and Chancellor Cao organized squads to attack them. They left ready to move, wary that Stidim could intervene, as Su Yu promised Alijeh a tour of the Blue Planet’s cities.

• Chancellor Cao sensed that Skrulls were evacuating the Giant Psionic Spring and estimated that the two eighth-ranks would need at least six hours to leave.
• Su Yu warned the cultivators to watch for Skrull God-tier Experts and identified Stidim as the main threat during their planned attacks.
• Chancellor Cao divided the cultivators into squads, assigning himself the four large Psionic Springs and the others the small ones, with orders to evacuate if the Space Rift fluctuated.
• Su Yu apologized to Tina and Alijeh for the dangerous mission and worried about Alijeh’s headache from the Holy Light Chant potion.
• Alijeh asked Su Yu to show them the Blue Planet’s big cities the next day, and he agreed.

The Blue Star Cultivators began clearing the Kunlun Mountains' Psionic Springs, and Su Yu captured the surrendered Skrull at Kunyi 102. After Lord Link removed the Space Rift and awarded Su Yu credits, Su Yu froze the base's personnel alive to take them prisoner.

• Following Chancellor Cao's suggestion, the Blue Star Cultivators split into six teams and began clearing the Kunlun Mountains' Psionic Springs.
• Su Yu and Senior Yang headed through the Small Psionic Springs, and Su Yu reached Kunyi 102 by Teleportation.
• An elderly Skrull surrendered Kunyi 102, and Su Yu ordered its personnel to gather while asking Lord Link to remove the Space Rift.
• Lord Link erased the Space Rift and sent Su Yu a box containing tokens worth 10 and 2000 credits.
• Su Yu scanned the base, then used Thousand Miles of Ice to freeze the gathered Skrull alive so they could be taken prisoner.
