Chapter Summaries

Su Yu and the Blue Star cultivators attacked the Skrull base on Damavand Mountain, with Tina, Morningstar, and Yang Jian striking its shield while Alijeh defended them. As the battle continued, Marnina and Lanqi watched from Skrull and discussed which of the humans might reach god-level and whether the three game characters could advance to Tier 8.

• Su Yu, Tina, and Alijeh agreed to save their most powerful long-cooldown skills for the final stage of the plan.
• The Blue Star cultivators arrived at Damavand Mountain and attacked the Skrull base, whose force-field shield and defenders had been readied for them.
• Su Yu buffed the cultivators, while Alijeh raised an ice wall and absorbed stray antimatter shells with black holes.
• Tina, Morningstar, and Yang Jian combined their attacks on Morningstar’s Star Rainbow Focus light spot to damage the shield.
• Marnina and Lanqi saw the cultivators’ combat indices, and Lanqi identified Yang Jian and Su Yu as the humans with a chance to reach god-level.
• Marnina asked whether Tina, Morningstar, and Alijeh could advance to Tier 8.

The Blue Star Cultivators breached the Damavand Mountain Spring Eye’s shield and destroyed its antimatter railguns, but Victoria forced them to retreat before they could capture it. They moved on to Mount Narodnaya and then Mount Galdhø, drawing out more Skrull God-tier reinforcements as planned.

• The light spot created by Star Rainbow Focus exploded, blasting a breach through the Damavand Mountain base’s force field shield.
• Su Yu deflected the commander’s spell with Darklight Shield and destroyed the antimatter railguns with Raging Thunder Prison.
• Victoria arrived and struck Su Yu with two Mind Pierces, prompting Chancellor Cao and the cultivators to retreat from the Spring Eye.
• The Blue Star Cultivators flew to Mount Narodnaya, where Stidim appeared as they neared breaching the shield, and they withdrew again.
• The cultivators boarded their aircraft and headed for the Mount Galdhø Giant Psionic Spring in Norway.

The Blue Star Cultivators attacked seven Giant Psionic Springs in succession, exhausting the Skrull Expeditionary Force’s reserve reinforcements. As the cultivators headed for Mount Lange, Marnina weighed whether to risk Tier 6 troops, while Su Yu explained that such a deployment would let Chancellor Cao target them instead.

• The Blue Star Cultivators struck the Giant Psionic Springs at Mount Galdhø, Mont Blanc, Mount Toubkal, Mount Kenya, and Mount Kilimanjaro, withdrawing whenever Skrull reinforcements arrived.
• At Mount Kilimanjaro, Su Yu told the Great Cultivators that the next spring would have no Skrull reinforcements, and they withdrew after ten Tier 7 experts appeared.
• Lanqi told Marnina that one hundred Tier 6 experts could defend Mount Lange for three hours but might lose at least twenty lives, and Marnina refused to accept that cost.
• Marnina asked Lanqi to contact Plante for advice as the Blue Star Cultivators flew toward Mount Lange.
• Su Yu told Emperor Taizong that a Skrull deployment of Tier 6 experts would give Chancellor Cao a chance to cut them down with his nearly restored Tier 8 sword hilt.

Blue Star’s cultivators attacked the Giant Psionic Spring at Mount Lange, while Commander Jonathan and his subordinates conserved their strength to escape. As the force-field shield neared collapse, Jonathan fled, but Plante arrived through the Space Rift just as the shield was about to break.

• Su Yu told the Great Cultivators that Plante’s departure would trigger three hours of contraction tremors at the Great Caucasus Psionic Spring, giving them time to seize it.
• The Blue Star cultivators reached Mount Lange and began their attack, while Commander Jonathan prepared his trusted subordinates to flee if the shield was breached.
• Both sides held back during the battle, but the Blue Star cultivators’ assault weakened the force-field shield until Morning Star’s Star Rainbow Focus threatened to destroy it.
• Jonathan ordered his forces to flee toward the Space Rift, and his subordinates escaped ahead of the ordinary Skrull soldiers.
• Plante passed through the Space Rift in his blood-red mech as Morning Star’s attack exploded against the shield.

Plante arrived at Mount Lange as the Blue Star Cultivators began withdrawing, but Chancellor Cao revealed his true strength and held Plante off. After the cultivators escaped the Psionic Spring’s range, Su Yu began building a giant teleportation array to move them to the Greater Caucasus.

• Plante appeared above Mount Lange, forcing Chancellor Cao to organize a shielded retreat and Su Yu to abandon his plan to destroy the antimatter railguns.
• Plante warped toward the Blue Star force, but Chancellor Cao struck first with the Hilt of the Sword of Myriad Truths and cut Plante’s particle shield strength nearly in half.
• Chancellor Cao revealed that he had been hiding his strength, then drove Plante back with another barrage of sword energies.
• The Blue Star Cultivators withdrew beyond the Psionic Spring’s range while Chancellor Cao kept Plante occupied.
• Su Yu asked Alijeh and Morning Star to help him build a giant teleportation array to the Greater Caucasus Giant Psionic Spring.

Su Yu and the Blue Star Cultivators launched their final assault on the Greater Caucasus Psionic Spring, where damaged defenses and depleted Skrull forces made the base close to falling. Marnina ordered Haidon Scorching Sun to retreat if he could not hold out, but communications were cut as the battle reached its end.

• Su Yu called Chancellor Cao into the teleportation array, and the Blue Star Cultivators arrived above the Great Caucasus Psionic Spring to attack.
• At the Skrull headquarters, Lanqi asked Marnina why Plante had defended Mount Lange instead of the Greater Caucasus, and Marnina explained that Plante had aimed to exhaust Su Yu’s mana.
• Marnina ordered Lanqi to tell Haidon Scorching Sun to abandon the spring and bring back everyone above sixth rank if the base could not be held.
• Devour Blue reported that the Blue Star Humans had cut communications with Haidon, and Marnina saw that the battle was nearly over.
• The Blue Star Cultivators unleashed their strongest attacks on the weakened force-field shield, leaving Skrull soldiers and experts to choose between surrender, resistance, or flight.

Su Yu tried to persuade the Skrull forces at the base to surrender by promising humane treatment and showing footage from the Prisoner of War Camp. Haidon Scorching Sun surrendered, and the soldiers followed, leaving the base to be taken without further resistance.

• Haidon Scorching Sun weighed fleeing, fighting, or surrendering as Blue Star forces threatened his base.
• Su Yu called on the Skrulls to surrender and promised they would be treated well as prisoners.
• Su Yu showed footage of Skrull prisoners tending plants, studying, and playing sports in the Prisoner of War Camp.
• Haidon Scorching Sun doubted Su Yu’s claims but surrendered so he could inspect the camp himself.
• After Haidon Scorching Sun surrendered, the Skrull soldiers dropped their weapons and raised their hands.

Marnina reacted to Haydn’s surrender by seeking God-level reinforcements, while Blue Star celebrated the Great Cultivators’ bloodless seizure of the Greater Caucasus Giant Psionic Spring. After the Space Rift disappeared, Su Yu and the exhausted cultivators rested in the captured base.

• Marnina condemned Haydn for surrendering and left to recruit Cecilia, Kadragos, and other God-level beings to defend the remaining Psionic Springs.
• Chancellor Cao and the Great Cultivators sealed the Skrulls’ Psionic Energy and restricted their movements while Blue Star’s army cleared the rampant energy outside the base.
• The United Government announced the successful operation on the Singer Network, prompting celebrations across Blue Star and among the troops at the Greater Caucasus Mountains.
• Link eliminated the Space Rift, and Su Yu, Alijeh, Tina, Morningstar, and the other Great Cultivators rested in the captured base.

After the Blue Star Cultivators won a fierce battle, Su Yu proposed using two mass teleports to seize two more Giant Psionic Springs before Skrull reinforcements arrived. Meanwhile, Marnina XIII secured agreements from six god-level beings to help defend the springs, though the White-headed Eagle Clan had not responded.

• The exhausted Great Cultivators recovered after battle, while Chancellor Cao found that his power seemed to be drawing closer to the sword hilt's power.
• Chancellor Cao asked the group what they should do next, and Su Yu proposed attacking more Giant Psionic Springs once the United Government's forces arrived.
• Su Yu revealed that his mana potions could support two Mass Teleports, and the Great Cultivators agreed to use them to take two more springs.
• Chancellor Cao told everyone to recover for forty minutes before setting off.
• Karog reported that six of seven god-level beings had agreed to garrison the springs, and Marnina XIII ordered him to tell them to hurry.

Zhong Feng’s forces captured an intact Skrull giant base, while Su Yu prepared to lead the Great Cultivators toward more targets. Zhong Feng then asked whether Su Yu would join the next trip to Skrull Star, and Su Yu said he would stay behind to catch up on cultivation.

• Zhong Feng ordered the five hundred players and soldiers to divide into squads and secure the intact base, including its antimatter railguns.
• Xiao Tian found Su Yu and embraced him; Su Yu reassured Tina, Alijeh, and another watching presence that he saw Xiao Tian only as a younger sister.
• Su Yu explained that he and the Great Cultivators planned to capture two more Giant Psionic Springs, and Zhong Feng agreed to take charge of the newly seized base.
• Zhong Feng privately asked Su Yu whether he would go to Skrull Star when Donna reopened the Space Tunnel in a week, and Su Yu declined so he could resume cultivating.

Su Yu learned that Zhong Feng and Xiao Tian had volunteered to travel to Skrull Star to prepare for the coming war, and he eventually accepted their decision after warning them about the danger. He then flew with the Great Cultivators to the Mount Fuji Giant Psionic Spring, where they began attacking the Skrull base.

• Zhong Feng told Su Yu that he had volunteered to go to Skrull Star, and Xiao Tian revealed that her application had also been approved.
• Xiao Tian argued that her strength and the resources she had received gave her a responsibility to help, regardless of her age.
• Zhong Feng explained that the Skrulls’ Explosive Mining plan left the cultivators with few chances to train on Blue Star, so they needed to hone their skills on Skrull Star.
• Su Yu accepted their decision, warned them that the trip carried at least a twenty percent chance of death, and agreed to see them off on December 9th.
• Su Yu left with the Great Cultivators for the Mount Fuji Giant Psionic Spring, where they formed up and attacked the giant base.

Blue Star Cultivators captured the Mount Fuji Spring Eye and then took the Damawand and Ural Mountains Spring Eyes, finding the latter two abandoned and stripped by the Skrull. After claiming five Giant Psionic Springs, they learned that Skrull reinforcements had made the remaining targets too dangerous to attack.

• The Blue Star Cultivators broke through the Mount Fuji base’s shield, but Victoria arrived and forced them to retreat before they teleported to Damawand Mountain.
• Chancellor Cao and the others found the Damawand base deserted and its equipment destroyed, then left it to the United Government and headed for the North Pole Spring Eye.
• The Blue Star Cultivators overcame the North Pole defenders and used long-distance teleportation to occupy the Ural Mountains Spring Eye, which the Skrull had also abandoned.
• By 5 p.m., Blue Star Humanity had captured five Giant Psionic Springs, including the Ural Mountains Spring Eye.
• Xue Wenli told Su Yu that Skrull reinforcements had guarded the remaining Spring Eyes, and Su Yu showed the Great Cultivators her videos of their movements.

After Skrull God-tier Experts reinforced all nineteen occupied Giant Psionic Springs, Su Yu and the Blue Star Cultivators halted their offensive. Su Yu returned home exhausted and promised Tina, Alijeh, and Cat Morning Star he would focus on the Evolution World and spend time with them.

• Xue Wenli's videos showed Lord Cecilia and her subordinates arriving to guard Giant Psionic Springs, making future Blue Star attacks far more difficult.
• Xue Wenli published the videos on the Singer Network, where Blue Star citizens discussed the setback and hoped the Great Cultivators would recover before the final battle.
• Su Yu confirmed that all nineteen Skrull-held springs had received God-tier reinforcements and announced that Blue Star's offensive would temporarily stop.
• Chancellor Cao promised the Great Cultivators ample psionic energy to recover after their efforts, and they returned to Yunlu Mountain headquarters.
• Su Yu, Tina, Alijeh, and Cat Morning Star flew back to Donghai City, where Su Yu promised to focus on the Evolution World and spend more time with them.

After returning to the game, Su Yu spent seven days cultivating while Alijeh, Tina, and Morning Star attended to their own affairs. By December 9, his clone was training the Mage Corps and replenishing supplies as Su Yu prepared for the coming decisive battle.

• Alijeh and Tina logged into the game after Su Yu promised to show them around his world, and Morning Star teased him before joining them.
• Su Yu returned to Broom City, greeted the players, and flew to the imperial palace to check on Alijeh before visiting Tina's father.
• Alijeh found that her clone had managed the empire's affairs properly, while Tina spent time with her father and younger sister.
• Morning Star worked on refining the Star Scar Eye and said she expected to reach peak Tier 7 before Blue Star's decisive battle.
• Su Yu spent nearly all seven days cultivating with high-tier Monster Materials bought using 45 billion Psionic Coins.
• Su Yu's clone prioritized training the Mage Corps and spent a third of its time gathering gold-grade potions and items, especially Mana Recovery Potions.

Blue Star focused on managing its occupied Psionic Springs while Su Yu spent his free time with Alijeh, Tina, and Morning Star and processed Space Cores for Xiao Tian to deliver. When Su Yu went to see Xiao Tian off before her trip to Skrull Star, he found her parents trying to stop her from going.

• The United Government prioritized mining and developing the Psionic Springs Blue Star had already occupied.
• Su Yu spent time with Alijeh, Tina, and Morning Star, then processed Space Rune Stones into Space Cores for sale in Beck Country.
• Su Yu called Xiao Tian at Yanshan Headquarters and teleported to her room to give her life-saving Items before she departed for Skrull Star.
• Xiao Tian introduced Su Yu to her parents, who had come to prevent their fourteen-year-old daughter from making the dangerous trip.
• Su Yu offered Xiao Tian's mother his fourth-tier Legendary Staff of Winter Prison, but she refused the gift and explained that her parents had come to stop Xiao Tian.

Su Yu tried to persuade Xiao Tian’s parents to let the fourteen-year-old go to Skrull Star, first appealing to her responsibility and then arguing that the mission could prepare her for the final battle. Xiao Tian’s parents began to understand the risks of refusing her the chance to grow stronger, but they had not yet given their answer.

• Xiao Tian’s parents firmly refused to let her go to Skrull Star because she was too young and the mission was dangerous.
• Su Yu asked them to sit down, then admitted that although he had initially opposed the trip, he now supported Xiao Tian going.
• Su Yu argued that Xiao Tian should take responsibility for her strength, but Xiao Tian’s mother countered that she could serve Blue Star in safer ways.
• Su Yu pointed out that the war on Blue Star was in a lull and cultivators above Tier 6 had little opportunity to demonstrate their abilities there.
• Su Yu warned that Xiao Tian would face the final battle regardless of her age and could be left at Tier 6 if she missed the chance to gain strength and resources on Skrull Star.
• Xiao Tian’s parents and Xiao Tian were stunned as Su Yu urged them to consider how the choice would affect her future survival.

Su Yu persuaded Xiao Tian's parents that going to Skrull Star would help protect her future and survival, and the twelve players selected for the mission gathered at headquarters. The chapter ended with a frightened foreign-server player asking Su Yu whether he could withdraw.

• Xiao Tian's parents realized that refusing the Skrull Star mission could cost her resources and leave her vulnerable in the final battle.
• Xiao Tian's father asked Su Yu to leave so he could speak privately with Xiao Tian, and Su Yu went to meet Zhong Feng.
• Su Yu arrived at headquarters, where he learned that six Chinese players and six foreign-server players had been assigned the twelve slots.
• Fujiwara Chika gave Su Yu a Life Link Totem and asked him to take her will back to Neon Country if she died.
• After hearing Fujiwara Chika discuss her possible death, a frightened foreign-server player asked Su Yu whether he could withdraw.

Su Yu confronted five foreign-server players who wanted to avoid going to Skrull Star and gave them a choice between joining the mission or losing all United Government resource support. He then prepared the Huaxia players and Fujiwara Chika for their trip with Master Level health potions.

• Su Yu told the five foreign-server players he would send them home, then ordered Zhong Feng to cut off their future resource supplies unless they went to Skrull Star.
• Su Yu’s ultimatum left the five players conflicted, while Zhen Hong and the others praised his handling of them.
• Shepherd Cloud Enemy said the Huaxia players had prepared for Skrull Star by studying Su Yu’s recordings, and Zhen Hong worried aloud about being teleported into a Skrull city before Zhong Feng stopped him.
• Su Yu gave three Master Level health recovery potions to each of the five Huaxia players and three more to Fujiwara Chika.
• The foreign-server players watched the others receive potions and regretted refusing to go to Skrull Star.

Su Yu briefed the twelve players on traveling to Skrull Star and recommended they use the countries near the Savage Continent as footholds to gather magical beast materials. He assigned Iced Tea and Zhong Feng separate theft routes through Skrull nations, emphasizing how their classes could help them secure resources.

• Su Yu showed the twelve players a map of Skrull Star and advised them to disguise themselves, then train in countries bordering the Savage Continent and hunt sixth-rank magical beasts for materials.
• Su Yu secretly gave Iced Tea routes through cities in the Solar Empire and Renket Alliance, naming prominent families and institutions for the assassin to rob and investigate.
• Su Yu told Zhong Feng that his druid's stealth and Travel Form suited a broad theft route through the Solar Empire's weaker subsidiary states.
• Su Yu warned Zhong Feng that the private treasuries of the conservative monarchies' kings and Grand Dukes held great wealth.

Su Yu briefed the twelve players on their missions and survival precautions for Skrull Star, then took Xiao Tian and Zhong Feng aside to entrust them with two highly secret tasks. He left the details of those tasks undisclosed.

• Su Yu assigned Zhong Feng a long-distance route and instructed Shepherd Cloud Enemy to infiltrate Skrull high society and use Mind Control to seize wealthy Skrulls’ money.
• Su Yu explained that most players should train near the Savage Continent, told them to surrender if captured so he could arrange prisoner exchanges, and warned them not to reveal information about Blue Star or their teammates.
