Chapter Summaries

Barro’s transformation into the God of Earth drew the attention of the Dark Matter Universe’s Million Gods, who failed to stop him with an Above God Level Two. As Li Qing investigated the universe’s strange scale, a fleet from the Upper City District arrived and blamed Barro for disrupting cosmic order.

• Barro conquered the planet, destroyed an invading God-Tier Civilization, and devoured an Above God Level Two sent to investigate him.
• The Million Gods gathered to discuss God of Earth and ordered an Above God Level Two to probe and capture Barro.
• Li Qing questioned why the Dark Matter Universe’s mined matter spanned far more galaxies than the area he could observe, and considered sending a Rule Level existence.
• A fleet from the Upper City District entered the Main Universe and accused Barro of opening subspaces and causing the universe to lose matter.
• Li Qing watched the Upper City District and Lower City District turn their attention toward Barro, wondering whether they were the universe’s security forces.

Li Qing secretly observed a law-enforcement fleet guarding a wormhole and learned that its captain suspected him of being connected to a massive wave of wormhole openings. The captain ordered the team to watch and report the incident, while recalling that the Power Council could send out a monster capable of destroying a Dark Matter Civilization.

• Li Qing wondered about the cosmic alliance and its environmental law-enforcement teams, then secretly used his thought-wave technique to infiltrate their fleet.
• The law-enforcement team discussed the miners they had defeated and considered closing the wormhole, but the old captain argued that the mysterious God of Earth might be connected to the criminal opening wormholes across their territory.
• The team members described the wormhole openings as a large-scale attack that was draining galaxies and allowing prisoners to plunder the universe.
• The old captain ordered his team to keep watching the battle and archive their observations for the higher-ups.
• The old captain recalled that the Power Council had once sent a monster that annihilated a Dark Matter Civilization and sealed its remains in an underground prison.

Li Qing learned that a God-Tier patrol alliance wielded Dark Matter weapons and secretly studied its weapons and observation technology. As the fleet watched the battle outside, the God of Earth killed and absorbed an Indestructible Above God Level being, shaking the observers’ understanding of the Indestructible Level.

• The old man explained that the patrol alliance used Dark Matter weapons forged from Indestructible beings to defeat invaders and seal cosmic wormholes.
• Li Qing considered how his Crystal Wall domain could let him use his fourth Rule Ancient God level, then decided to copy the patrol fleet’s Dark Matter weapons and study its telescope.
• Li Qing realized the telescope could detect Dark Matter and considered how he might avoid being observed.
• The God of Earth killed an Indestructible Above God Level being and absorbed its Dark Matter corpse.
• The old captain ordered the fleet to report the unprecedented killing to its higher-ups.

The Power Council received a Cataclysm Level warning after an unknown entity killed an Indestructible Level being in the Karno Supercluster. Luo Xu was sent alone to investigate and contain the threat, though he feared both the entity and the millions of enemy troops there.

• The chapter explained how civilizations formed the Power Council to protect the Main Universe from outside Above God Level civilizations and slow its decline.
• The Power Council issued a Cataclysm Level warning after detecting that an Indestructible Level entity had been killed by a force estimated to match a fourth-level Above God Level civilization.
• Luo Xu received orders to travel to the Karno Supercluster and restrain an unknown entity from the Mythological Species System.
• Luo Xu warned that he could not defeat the Dark Matter Civilization's more than three million Indestructible Level troops by himself.
• Luo Xu's spaceship jumped toward the destination as he resumed playing his game, hoping he would not fall into the strange entity's hands.

Luo Xu watched Barro fight the Dark Matter gods and tried to stall for reinforcements, while Li Qing observed from afar. Four powerful beings arrived after a leak exposed the situation, leaving Luo Xu facing a deadly battle.

• The patrol team learned that Barro was an ordinary soldier who had inexplicably resurrected and gained immense strength.
• Luo Xu broke through to peak Indestructible Level and entered the Dark Matter Civilization, where he stayed Untouchable and watched Barro fight.
• Li Qing realized that Technology Side pilots could return to the Main Universe by abandoning their Indestructible mecha, and chose not to attack Luo Xu.
• Luo Xu tried to persuade Barro to join him and learned that Barro was a flesh-and-blood being who could not remove his mecha or enter the universe.
• Four Dark Matter Civilization beings arrived, and Luo Xu realized a traitor had revealed the anomaly and that he might have to break through again to survive.

Li Qing watched a war reveal how the Technology Side reached the Fourth Realm by tearing off pieces of the Main Universe’s Cosmic Membrane and using them to empower their mechs temporarily. As the battle continued and the combatants’ Cosmic Membranes began expiring, Li Qing realized that the vast ocean of Space Fragments had accumulated from these repeated battles.

• Luo Xu tore a piece of the Main Universe’s Cosmic Membrane from the wormhole and wrapped it around his mech, reaching the Unbelievable Level.
• The patrol team tried to close the wormhole, but an enemy fleet opened four Spatial Fragments so four more Above God Level beings could empower themselves with Cosmic Membrane.
• Luo Xu fought the four enemies while the patrol captain battled traitors inside the universe, and Li Qing observed without revealing himself.
• After seven days, the Cosmic Membrane empowerment began to expire, forcing Luo Xu to tear off another piece as his mech suffered heavy damage.
• Luo Xu urged the patrol captain to defeat the enemy reinforcements and protect the Upper City District so the opposing fighters would lose access to Cosmic Membrane.
• Li Qing realized the Cosmic Membranes were single-use and that their discarded remnants had formed the ocean of Space Fragments.

Li Qing watched Barro join Luo Xu’s fight and kill one of the pursuing mechs, making Barro the only being able to kill Indestructible Level enemies. Luo Xu fled with Barro, and his teacher arrived to protect them, while Li Qing slipped away after the powerful mech sensed he was being watched.

• Luo Xu was overwhelmed by four enemies after the patrol team’s escape route was cut off, and he asked Barro to help him.
• Barro joined the battle, and Luo Xu arranged for him to finish off an opponent after weakening it; Barro killed the mech as it tried to resurrect.
• Luo Xu called Barro the universe’s savior and decided to bring him to the Power Council to eliminate its imprisoned enemies.
• Luo Xu and Barro fled the Dark Matter Civilization, while Gab stayed behind to observe the unknown world.
• After half a month of pursuit, Luo Xu’s teacher entered through a breach, killed the three remaining mechs, and took Barro away to hide.
• The teacher sensed that someone was watching them, so Li Qing fled through time and concealed himself.

After escaping a clash involving a Fourth Level force, Li Qing returned to the Atabia Dynasty and reconsidered his civilization’s place in the universe. He discovered that time reversal could reveal the history embedded in Space Fragments, and resolved to create space and time systems to decode their rule blueprints.

• Li Qing fled the battle, left his holes behind, and returned to the Atabia Dynasty with Dark Matter weapon blueprints.
• While watching an opera, Li Qing assessed the technology-side civilizations and considered ambushing them before they activated their temporary Fourth Realm transformations.
• Li Qing listed researching Dark Matter weapons and collecting law-authority blueprints as his next objectives.
• Li Qing used time reversal on a Space Fragment and saw a historical coating on a mecha, but could not read its rule data.
• Li Qing resolved to develop space and time systems to decode the fragments, which he viewed as a vast library of the universe’s accumulated rules.

Li Qing decided to accelerate the Main Universe’s collapse by creating a race of world-destroying creatures that would tear open paths for outsiders to plunder its matter. After his creations began punching holes into the universe, civilizations beyond it noticed the breaches and prepared to exploit them.

• Li Qing arranged for Dark Matter weapon blueprints to spread through an accident in Trade Ancient City, then spent more than half a month visiting Earth.
• Li Qing planned to reveal himself by mining openly, shrinking the Main Universe, and eventually rebuilding it as a Crystal Wall System Universe.
• Li Qing entered the Sea of Stars and used his divine dragon form and library clones to create vast numbers of creatures.
• The creatures began attacking the universe and opening Space Wormholes into the subspace.
• Civilizations beyond the universe saw the breaches and considered sending God-level fleets inside to scout and mine.

Li Qing began building a new civilization across the shrinking universe, which he called the Fourth Mental Hospital, while his wormholes triggered widespread destruction and alarmed the Power Council. Gab discovered other flesh-and-blood beings but learned only that they called themselves Fist; Li Qing left the new world developing as he spread life through the Sea of Stars.

• Wormholes tore open throughout the universe, letting trapped civilizations return and plunder matter as the Power Council realized the crisis was spreading.
• Luo Xu and the pursuing forces learned that wormholes were opening on a massive scale and hesitated over whether to abandon their hunt for Barro's father.
• Gab secretly escaped and began harvesting planets through a newly opened wormhole, then tried to speak with flesh-and-blood beings punching holes through space.
• The beings ignored Gab until he demanded their names, and they replied, “Fist” and “Not bad.”
• Li Qing stood atop a sun and named the shrinking universe the future Fourth Mental Hospital, planning to evade the Power Council by opening wormholes and spreading life.
• Li Qing led ancient dragons through the Sea of Stars, creating countless living beings as he prepared the new Crystal Wall room for primitive civilizations.

Li Qing established a hidden civilization of powerful, fist-wielding shrimp beings to drill wormholes and advance his plans to turn the universe into a Mental Hospital. After Tangxia became trapped outside the universe, he devised a way to influence it through mind-controlling Dark Matter swords, ushering in what he called the age of the Outer Gods.

• Li Qing chose a distant star field and bred a powerful shrimp-based civilization, granting Creator God authority to beings above level 100.
• The shrimp beings rapidly advanced, and Tangxia rose to become their emperor before breaking through to Above God Level and becoming stranded outside the universe.
• A Second Generation emperor took power and taunted Tangxia by drilling wormholes while refusing to close the passage and let him return.
• Tangxia discovered that Dark Matter weapons could let his followers carry his influence into the universe.
• Tangxia forged tens of thousands of mind-affecting swords and declared that the coming eras would belong to the Outer Gods.

Tangxia turned patrol units into ancient dragons and built an army that helped him reclaim his empire, while Li Qing’s schemes unleashed widespread looting and chaos. Unable to stop the universe’s collapse, the Power Council joined its enemies in stripping the Cosmic Membrane, and Li Qing watched the resulting upheaval from the shadows.

• Tangxia tempted a law-enforcement patrol unit with a Dark Matter longsword, transforming its Mecha Masters into ancient dragons who opened space holes and served him.
• Tangxia spread his influence across dozens of patrol units, then led his troops to kill the Second Generation Emperor and reclaim his power.
• Li Qing’s mining carts, returning divine civilizations, and the mutated Fist Shrimp clan intensified the chaos as the universe’s holes and raids multiplied.
• The Power Council debated its options and chose to join the Dark Matter Alliance in tearing apart the Cosmic Membrane and dividing up the universe.
• A council member used the Time Authority to seek the culprit but could not calculate the black hand behind the chaos.
• Li Qing watched the factions ravage the universe and said the Heavenly Trend was a greater weapon than force.

Li Qing watched the universe shrink as civilizations plundered its materials, unknowingly advancing his plans while developing the Extraordinary System. As the Power Council debated the consequences of losing the Cosmic Membrane, Li Qing kept his Crystal Wall project hidden and waited for the right time to act.

• Li Qing observed that civilizations had reduced the universe to forty percent of its original size by mass-producing mining troops, and decided to stay hidden while they developed the Extraordinary System.
• The Power Council discovered the Fist-Sized Shrimp Civilization, destroyed it, and captured its leaders, whose cells let them become Second Generation Creator Gods.
• Tang Shrimp escaped into the Subspace after his race was destroyed and became a wanted fugitive, drawing attention away from Li Qing.
• Li Qing concealed the Mental Crystal Wall Hospital and planned to build his Crystal Wall Universe after the universe's matter had been moved outside.
• The Power Council noted that the universe had shrunk to thirty-four percent of its original size and that shrinking territory was driving wars and the spread of extraordinary champions.
• The Council feared that stripping away the Cosmic Membrane would end Fourth Level Technology Side civilizations, leaving them to investigate the Extraordinary System.

As the universe shrank, Li Qing prepared to remake it while the Technology Side mined its natural Cosmic Membrane. Tangxia, pursued for his Creator God bloodline, escaped into the universe by turning his body into Dark Matter weapons and ten wish-granting Snake Beads.

• Li Qing observed the universe's decline and resolved to expel nearly all native life and matter before rebuilding its fundamental laws.
• The Technology Side's mining of the natural Cosmic Membrane produced major advances in Fourth Realm comprehension.
• Tangxia hid among subspace fragments but was tracked down by pursuers from the Power Council and the Dark Matter Alliance.
• Surrounded, Tangxia dismembered himself into countless Dark Matter weapons and sent them into the universe.
• Tangxia transformed his main body into ten enormous Snake Beads, promising to grant a wish of creation to anyone who collected his corpse.

The Snake Beads and Dark Matter weapons transformed fighters into Cloud Dragons, who rose to dominate the shrinking Main Universe and worshipped Tangerine Shrimp as their Ancient God. The outside powers failed to halt the universe’s collapse and began infiltrating the Cloud Dragon Clan by mutating their own troops.

• A gigantic Snake Bead was discovered, and those who approached it mutated into members of the extraordinary fist Martial Race; scattered Dark Matter weapons also drew fanatical followers.
• Minor civilizations rallied around the weapons, formed the Cloud Dragon Clan, and rose to challenge the Power Council in the shrinking universe.
• The Above God Level powers suspected Li Qing was orchestrating the rise and ordered civilizations to stop tearing the Cosmic Membrane, but secret excavation continued.
• The universe shrank to fifteen percent of its original size as the surrounding Subspace Continents expanded, while the Cloud Dragon Clan developed branches and internal divisions.
• Major powers decided to mutate their own troops into Cloud Dragons, infiltrate the universe, and target Tangerine Shrimp and his followers.

Tang Xia’s universe continued to shrink as the factions fought over his body and the Cloud Dragon lineage, while Li Qing prepared to secure what remained. Li Qing wrapped the tiny universe in an artificial Crystal Wall, and the new membrane awakened as a will of Heaven.

• The factions fought with Cloud Dragon armies, plundered Tang Xia’s body, and reduced the universe to 10% of its original size.
• Tang Xia ordered his believers to tear apart the Cosmic Membrane, and the universe eventually shrank to 0.3% of its original size while 70% of his corpse was scattered among the factions.
• New prodigies trained in the Extraordinary System emerged and began battling to gather Tang Xia’s Dark Matter longsword and Snake Beads.
• Li Qing decided to protect the remaining universe and laid multiple layers of Crystal Wall along its inner boundary.
• The new Crystal Wall membrane began speaking like a newborn, and the inhabitants realized that their universe had developed a will of Heaven.

The Universe, reduced to 0.3% of its former size, awakened a living Cosmic Membrane that sealed the wormholes and began consuming the matter left inside. As the Power Council and Dark Matter Alliance argued over what the awakening meant, the membrane started clearing the Universe’s remaining contents.

• The shrunken Universe’s inner Cosmic Membrane blocked the remaining wormholes, cutting off access from outside.
• Civilizations in Subspace debated whether the Universe’s awakening would save it, while the Power Council and Dark Matter Alliance argued over which side it might favor.
• The Cosmic Membrane began swallowing and expelling matter inside the Universe, including ore being mined.
• The living membrane consumed miners’ materials, melted mining mecha, and absorbed steel, molten metal, water, and solar magma.
• Chaos spread through the Universe as the Cosmic Membrane cleared its contents, seemingly reopening the order of Heaven and Earth.

Li Qing’s newly created Crystal Wall awakened as a newborn Heavenly Dao, while the survivors outside tried to win its favor. Tangxia claimed credit for the universe’s birth, and the Power Council’s allies planned to restore him outside before he could secure the Heavenly Dao’s support.

• Li Qing watched the Crystal Wall consume the universe’s matter, leaving Dark Matter and several thousand powerful beings intact, and chose not to interfere with its newly awakened consciousness.
• The Heavenly Dao awakened and asked who it was, prompting the civilizations outside to compete to influence it.
• Tangxia told the Heavenly Dao that he had caused its birth by guiding the universe’s contraction and the Extraordinary Era, then urged it to trust him instead of everyone else.
• The Heavenly Dao believed Tangxia’s account and thanked him, making Tangxia think he had become its favored protagonist.
• The Power Council and others recognized Tangxia’s scheme and proposed pooling their resources to gather his severed remains and resurrect him outside the universe.

Tangxia and the powerful factions negotiated with the newly conscious Cosmic Membrane, which learned to consume matter and regenerate. The factions discovered they could use pieces of its living membrane to reach the fourth level, then named the growing Heavenly Dao Xia Tian and entered an era filled with countless rule deities.

• The factions forced Tangxia to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and found that it was hungry, so they supplied matter and watched the second-layer Cosmic Membrane grow.
• Scientists proposed competing theories about the conscious Cosmic Membrane and discovered that it could eat matter, regenerate, and block Above God Level beings.
• The factions exchanged resources with the Heavenly Dao for pieces of its membrane, allowing some beings to break through to the Fourth Indestructible Level.
• Civilizations debated whether to protect, control, or eventually oppose the Heavenly Dao, while secretly planning how to preserve their natural Cosmic Membranes as reserves.
• Over ten years, the factions raised the Heavenly Dao on fairy tales and named it Xia Tian, as countless beings used artificial membranes to reach the Fourth Realm.

Li Qing concealed his role in creating the Crystal Wall and hid his Mental Hospitals while weighing the danger posed by the powerful Rule Ancient Gods and their Time Authority. Outside, Xia Tian and humanity enabled rapid advances in Cosmic Membrane technology, culminating in a universe partitioned by Crystal Walls where Above God Level beings could live.

• Li Qing decided to let the Ancient Gods propose and build the Crystal Wall rooms themselves, while planning to conceal his origins and eventually purge the old Technology Side rulers.
• Li Qing rejected stealing research through altered Crystal Wall fragments and hid his three Mental Hospitals inside the Cosmic Membrane.
• After thousands of years, the Dark Matter Alliance and the Power Council united under the name Cloud Dragon Era and began experimenting with the Cosmic Membrane.
• With Xia Tian's cooperation, researchers created inward-caved membrane bubbles and tunnels that let Above God Level beings return to the universe.
• A Main God ambushed Xia Tian in Cloud Dragon Era Year 10 to imprint his data on the Cosmic Membrane, but Xia Tian resisted and grew distrustful of humanity.
• By Cloud Dragon Era Year 400, humanity had developed interlocking Crystal Walls that let Above God Level beings survive throughout the universe, beginning the Crystal Membrane Era.
