Chapter Summaries

The United Fleets prepared for the approaching enemy as Bai Lin ordered a massive preemptive bombardment, including use of the Super Dark Ray. The Guangyu Empire’s fleet delayed its entry into the battlefield until the twenty-minute mark to wait for reinforcements.

• Long Ya rejected Yang Ming’s proposal to advance farther, warning that hidden Deep-Space Torpedoes could devastate the fleets.
• Long Xiao reported that the Deep-Space Torpedoes had been deployed across spacetime and that the enemy could emerge from the Dimensional Black Hole in about fifteen minutes.
• Bai Lin ordered three rounds of area strikes and directed the Star Mothership to use the Super Dark Ray, and Long Ya approved the orders despite Yang Ming’s objections.
• The Second United Fleet began a continuous, sweeping bombardment before the enemy arrived.
• In the Guangyu Empire command ship, Edwin Zacharias feared the fleet would suffer heavy losses, while the silver-haired youth watched the bombardment with Ram and Pierce.
• The Empire powerhouse ordered Adjutant Pim to delay entry until the twenty-minute mark so the fleet could wait for the remaining 250 million warships.

Lin Hai escaped a Causality Weapon’s bombardment with Adjutant Pim and realized the enemy had used causality-based attacks. As Bai Lin’s fleet prepared its defenses, Lin Hai discovered that his Ninth-level Civilization lacked Causality Reflection Arcs, leaving him fearing it would be overwhelmed.

• Lin Hai ordered Adjutant Pim to activate the Life Shield and awaken the hibernating warriors, threatening him for questioning his commands.
• After scans revealed two earlier bombardments, Lin Hai seized Adjutant Pim and vanished just before the Life Shield and more than ten million warships were destroyed by a Super Dark Ray.
• Bai Lin explained to the Second United Fleet that the first two bombardments had been diversions and warned that the enemy commander had anticipated their response.
• Long Ya assigned the fleets their defensive positions as a report predicted that the third bombardment would destroy at least fifteen million enemy warships before their commander led the main force into their world.
• Lin Hai returned to a ship in the whirlpool tunnel, ordered the deployment of Anti-Causality Weapons, and learned that Adjutant Pim had never heard of Causality Reflection Arcs.

A silver-haired youth identified the Guangyu Empire’s Hainos Expansion Shield as advanced Spacetime-Linked Law Shield technology and explained how it could protect the fleet. The Second United Fleet then discovered that its attacks were barely affecting the enemy, whose shields appeared to transfer or weaken the damage.

• The silver-haired youth praised Adjutant Pim’s deployment as the vanguard force struggled against the Outer Realm enemy, leaving General Ram and General Pierce to wonder why Pim had not been promoted.
• The youth recognized Energy Shield Diffusion Technology and asked whether the fleet also possessed Causality Reflection Arc technology, but Edwin Zacharias and the generals had never heard of it.
• General Ram explained that the Empire had equipped its warships with the Hainos Expansion Shield but considered it ineffective and had relied on Law Shields instead.
• The youth explained that the shield was Spacetime-Linked Law Shield technology that shifted attacks onto universal spacetime, and Edwin Zacharias realized the fleet had lost ships because it had not used the technology properly.
• The silver-haired youth reproached Edwin Zacharias for failing to tell him about the shield, saying he would have fought the enemy with more than twenty million warships if he had known.
• The Second United Fleet continued firing at the enemy emerging from the Dimensional Black Hole, but Long Ya learned that its attacks were being transferred or weakened by the enemy’s shields.

Lin Hai ordered a major buildup of forces and logistics as the Empire prepared for battle, while General Lin Duan organized reinforcements to defend the vital Universe Highland No. 113. The generals strengthened its fortress bases, but Lin Duan remained concerned that the enemy could overwhelm the position.

• Lin Hai ordered six thousand additional Ninth-order Warriors to form three-person teams and launch surprise attacks, and demanded fleets and logistics support from the Dark Civilization and Holy Knight Civilization.
• General Laura questioned her authority to mobilize those civilizations, and Lin Hai used the Emperor's authorization to grant it.
• General Lin Duan ordered Zhao Feng, Li Hai, and Wang Peng to seize key fortress regions in Universe Highland No. 113 and hold them against the enemy.
• General Bai He and General Paul Parks arrived with reinforcements, bringing the defending force to three million warships, but neither had Night Watch Department powerhouses.
• Bai He and Paul Parks offered fleets to reinforce the three crucial fortress bases, while Lin Duan worried that enemy bombardment or a large-scale assault could destroy his forces.

The Star Ancient Empire and the Guangyu Empire fought a massive fleet battle while both sides avoided weapons that could destroy the universe. A silver-haired Marshal contacted Lin Hai, explained the enemy’s strength and the Fifth-dimensional world’s unusual conditions, and began outlining the danger of being trapped in a pocket formation.

• Long Ya and the other commanders assessed the deadlocked battle, rejected Lin Feng’s proposal to use devastating weapons, and sent the Life Goddess to defend Universe Highland No. 113.
• Long Ya ordered the Second United Fleet to intensify its assault and vowed to hold the frontline rather than retreat.
• Adjutant Pim urged Lin Hai to authorize a devastating strike, but Lin Hai warned that the enemy could retaliate with weapons of equal force.
• The silver-haired Marshal contacted Guangyu Empire headquarters, explained that the enemy had more than 600 million warships and powerful experts, and said he had sent a map of the Cosmic Sea.
• The Marshal explained that the Fifth-dimensional world strongly restricted weapons of mass destruction and that the surrounding region appeared to be sealed off as a pocket formation.

Lin Hai planned a costly assault on Universe No. 113, the key route through the enemy’s blockade, while the Silver-haired Youth ordered his forces to capture it as a springboard. After the enemy’s hidden fleets emerged, the Silver-haired Youth prepared to strike into their spacetime.

• The Silver-haired Youth warned Lin Hai that he had to break through the blockade and said he would hold back one United Fleet while Lin Hai faced about five hundred million warships.
• Lin Hai studied the star map, identified Universe No. 113 as the crucial obstacle, and ordered an infiltration to assess or eliminate its defenses.
• Lin Hai rejected a general’s proposal to destroy the hub and ordered a concentrated assault on the right flank instead.
• The Silver-haired Youth told Edwin Zacharias that capturing Universe No. 113 was the only way through the pocket formation and discussed the destruction of the surrounding universes.
• Pierce reported that the enemy’s fleets hidden in spacetime had appeared, and the Silver-haired Youth ordered an infiltration of Universe No. 113 before preparing to attack their spacetime.

The Guangyu Empire’s surprise assault on the Seventh Fleet faltered as Lin Hai exploited the enemy’s exposed communications and Nong Weilin captured a million warships. Nan Wentian then launched a massive multidimensional counterattack, leaving the Guangyu Empire’s fleets in chaos as the war escalated across the battlefield.

• Guangyu commanders watched the Seventh Fleet stay in formation, while General Laura berated the missing Second Fleet over an open communications channel.
• Adjutant Pim revealed that the Second Fleet had been wiped out, and Lin Hai ordered the Guangyu left wing to withdraw and defend the frontal battlefield’s flank.
• Nong Weilin used information-blocking technology to capture one million enemy warships without casualties, then sent the Ninth Fleet through a Void Rift to strike the enemy rear.
• Nan Wentian ordered an all-out assault using Void Rift weapons, multidimensional projections, and time distortion, overwhelming the Guangyu Empire’s nearly thirty million warships with more than one hundred million ships.
• Both empires deployed their most powerful weapons and forces, while their ninth-rank lifeforms opened battlefields of their own.

The Night Watch Department’s Gui Group fought the Guangyu Empire’s Ninth-order Warriors, and Eighteen sacrificed himself in a self-destruction blast after Kainan Evans died. Gui Seventeen and Gui Fifteen killed Lilian Evans, while Gui Sixteen said he would seek someone to kill him.

• Lilian Evans fought a Night Watch Department warrior alongside two allies, but Kainan Evans arrived gravely wounded and warned her to run.
• Kainan Evans died in a burst of light, and Eighteen unleashed a self-destruction blast that killed two Guangyu Empire warriors as Lilian escaped.
• Gui Sixteen reported Eighteen’s death to the Gui Group, whose members questioned why he had fallen.
• Gui Seventeen pursued Lilian and battered her until Gui Fifteen stabbed her from behind with a Star-Splitting Greatsword.
• Gui Sixteen pulled the blade from Lilian’s body and ordered Gui Seventeen to take her to the boss, then said he would find someone to kill him.

The Gui Group suffered devastating losses in the battle, prompting Night Four to send reinforcements and the Emperor to commit Imperial Guards against the ninth-order enemies. As the Empire’s casualties mounted, Yang Yu ordered additional forces prepared for the Fifth-dimensional Battlefield.

• The Gui Group leader confronted Gui Seventeen over Gui Eighteen’s death and ordered Lillian sent to the Imperial Celestial Prison for punishment.
• The Gui Group leader told Night Four that Gui Group Tiangang Eighteen had no successor and would be permanently sealed.

• Yang Yu ordered Mu Ying sent to the Fifth-dimensional Battlefield.

Yang You confronted the Werewolf Empire and warned the Dragon Human Empire that the Star Ancient Empire was prepared for war. Yang Lin'er then planned for an impending conflict between the Dragon Human Empire and the Mechanical Empire and asked Emperor Yang Yu to let her use Nightfall's intelligence network.

• Yang You gave the Werewolf Empire thirty minutes to withdraw its troops from beyond the Star Ancient Empire's star domain, and its leaders ordered the troops to retreat.
• Yang You warned the Dragon Human Empire against military operations, while its ambassador claimed it cherished peace.
• Yang Lin'er and Yang You concluded that the Dragon Human Empire and the Mechanical Empire would likely start a war within six months to two years, and Yang Lin'er ordered that neighboring nations be prevented from fighting.
• Yang Lin'er told Long Wen to list obsolete equipment and arrange for dockyards to produce it rather than sell it to the Half-Beastman Kingdom.
• Yang Lin'er went to Emperor Yang Yu and asked to use Nightfall's intelligence network for her plans concerning the coming war.

Yang Yu, Yang Lin'er, and Bai Mu planned to profit from selling warships and weapons to civilizations oppressed by the Mechanical Empire and Dragon Human Empire, while using restrictions on prohibited weapons to control conflicts. Meanwhile, the Dragon Human Empire’s ruler sought to start a war early without provoking the Star Ancient Empire, hoping to ease his empire’s internal crisis.

• Yang Lin'er proposed selling weapons to oppressed civilizations and sanctioning anyone who used prohibited weapons, while Yang Yu warned that the Empire could not divert too many resources from its own development and defense.
• Yang Lin'er explained her plan to profit from warship sales, and Yang Yu noted that the Empire would earn substantial returns even without lowering manufacturing costs.
• Bai Mu proposed tailoring warships to buyers’ needs, allowing lower reliability than Imperial military standards and setting prices based on rival production costs.
• Yang Yu ordered Boss to gather details and production costs for at least a hundred alien warships near the Mechanical Empire and Dragon Human Empire within half an hour.
• The Dragon Human Empire’s supreme ruler ordered his ambassador to find a way to start a war early without letting the Star Ancient Empire interfere, hoping to relieve resource shortages and unrest at home.

The Dragon Human Empire considered breaking the ceasefire agreement and asked the Star Ancient Empire to permit a war against other civilizations. Star Ancient officials rejected the request unless the Dragon Human Empire signed restrictions on devastating weapons, leaving the ambassador to weigh whether the terms could still serve his empire’s aims.

• The Dragon Human Emperor and his ministers discussed bribing the Star Ancient Empire to allow a war that could ease the Dragon Human Empire’s resource crisis.

• The Dragon Human Empire sent its ambassador to discuss war with Yang You, Yang Lin’er, and Bai Wen in the Star Ancient Empire’s capital.
• Bai Wen threatened to lead a United Fleet against the Dragon Human Empire, while Yang Lin’er explained that the empire would not revise the ceasefire agreement.
• Yang Lin’er offered a war clause banning weapons that destroy universes and super biological genetic weapons, arguing that such weapons would waste the resources the Dragon Human Empire sought to seize.

The Dragon Human Empire’s ambassador signed an agreement with the Star Ancient Empire, while Yang Lin’er arranged bonuses and safeguards for allied forces and ordered negotiations with the Mechanical Empire. On the Fifth-dimensional Battlefield, mounting losses and enemy reinforcements left the commanders divided over whether to escalate the war, and Bai Lin called for cloning and mechanical production to expand and the Star Insectoid Race to join the fight.

• The Dragon Human Empire’s ambassador agreed to sign the contract, believing it would resolve the Empire’s immediate crisis.
• Yang Lin’er directed that allied border troops receive bonus pay, warned against deliberate warship damage, and sent Yang You to negotiate with the Mechanical Empire.
• Nan Wentian, Yang Ming, and Lin Feng reported severe losses and worsening conditions across the United Fleets after a day and night of battle.
• Long Ya ordered reinforcements for the Third United Fleet but insisted the Spacetime Fleet should stay out of the battle.

• Bai Lin urged the commanders to report the crisis, activate cloning and mechanical factories, and request the Star Insectoid Race’s intervention.

Bai Lin took command of the Second United Fleet and the frontal battlefield, while Long Ya retained overall command as the Star Ancient Empire faced a numerically even enemy. The Silver-haired Youth arrived aboard the Guangyu Empire's command mothership and ordered attacks on both flanks, a rapid redeployment of the main force, and preparations to defend against superweapons.

• Nan Wentian rejected calling for reinforcements, fearing the enemy would match them and learn the Empire's strength.
• Bai Lin took command of the Second United Fleet and the frontal battlefield, while assigning Long Ya overall battlefield command and responsibility for defeat.

• Adjutant Pim reported that the Guangyu Empire's main force had lost more than 120 million warships and had 230 million remaining.
• The Silver-haired Youth ordered the fleet groups redeployed to the frontal battlefield and defenses prepared against superweapon strikes.

Nan Wentian prepared the First United Fleet to hold its position against a massive enemy force while Bai Lin and Long Ya identified the reinforcements as the Dark Empire and Holy Knight Empire, led by a likely Star Empire titan. The Second United Fleet began handing the main-front battle to Bai Lin’s Sixth United Fleet, which prepared to confront the enemy commander.

• The enemy withdrew from the battlefield and replaced its forces with braided groups of warships, prompting Nan Wentian to alert the Second and Sixth United Fleets.
• Nan Wentian ordered the First Fleet into battle with the Second Fleet supporting it, while the other fleets took their positions.
• Long Ya and Bai Lin learned that Guangyu Civilization, the Dark Empire, and the Holy Knight Empire were the enemy forces, and that a Star Empire titan likely commanded them.
• Bai Lin said the Second United Fleet would fall back and leave the main-front battlefield to his Sixth United Fleet, which would test the enemy commander.
• Long Ya ordered an immediate handover and directed that the enemy information be shared with the First, Third, and Eighth United Fleets.

Duan Chenfeng’s Sixth United Fleet fought the Guangyu Empire in the AHG6 Universe while both sides suffered heavy losses and electronic warfare disrupted battlefield signals. After the Star Ancient Empire disabled enemy defenses, Duan Chenfeng ordered the fleet to retreat by interstellar jump just before devastating attacks struck their former position.

• Duan Chenfeng ordered his fleet to attack after the enemy opened fire, and the Sixth United Fleet deployed its mother-child warships.
• The silver-haired youth ordered General Lin Hai to lead a fleet through the enemy defenses and locate its hidden fleets.
• Marshal Bai Lin ordered battlefield-wide signal interference and prepared a spatial trap weapon as losses mounted.

• The Star Mothership’s interference disrupted enemy energy shields, allowing the First Fleet to destroy nearby enemy warships and force a retreat.
• Duan Chenfeng stopped his fleet from pursuing and ordered an interstellar jump, avoiding the enemy’s devastating attack on their former position.

The Guangyu Empire’s forces exposed their positions and launched galaxy-destroying attacks, prompting Bai Lin and Duan Chenfeng to counterattack with planet-destroyer weapons. General Lin Chen’s detachment escaped the strike through a multidimensional tactical weapon, but the Eta DFR20 Galaxy was devastated, and Lin Hai’s rear fleets could not retreat in time.

• The Silver-haired Youth condemned his subordinates for firing a galaxy-destroying weapon without orders and directed the exposed fleets to advance while keeping other fleets out of the battle.
• Bai Lin ordered the First Fleet to counterattack toward the Beta C4 Galaxy and authorized Type-III Planet-Destroyer Cannons against large enemy formations.
• Duan Chenfeng ordered his fleet to charge its cannons, deploy decoys, and begin dark energy jump combat after learning the enemy had used galaxy-level weapons.
• General Hu Ming ordered over a hundred warships to fire Type-III strikes on the Eta DFR20 Galaxy, while Lin Chen’s detachment activated a multidimensional tactical weapon and vanished just before impact.
• The azure strikes destroyed the stars and devastated the Eta DFR20 Galaxy, and Lin Hai ordered the rear fleets to retreat too late to escape.

After Guangyu Empire's disastrous command failures, the silver-haired Imperial Marshal created a supervisory force to enforce orders while the Star Ancient Empire faced a rapidly improving enemy. The First United Fleet was under severe pressure, and reports warned it could be annihilated without support.

• Lin Hai berated the Guangyu Empire's fleet group adjutant for ignoring his battle plan, then told him the fleet could fight on its own.
• The silver-haired youth reprimanded Lin Hai for the fleet's heavy losses and ordered one million warships transferred from the Dark Empire and Holy Knight Empire.
• The silver-haired youth appointed commanders from both empires as battlefield supervisors and ordered them to destroy units that disobeyed or missed their objectives, including Guangyu warships.
• Duan Chenfeng ordered the First Fleet to break into smaller units and use multidimensional battlefield tactics as the enemy reinforced against them.
• Bai Lin concluded that the enemy's execution had improved under pressure and learned that the First United Fleet had lost over 1.45 million ships and risked total annihilation without support.

Bai Lin coordinated reinforcements and fleet formations as the Star Ancient Empire and Guangyu Empire fought across multidimensional universes. In the Angel Universe, Ailan learned from Pan Zhen that increasingly violent cosmic tremors likely came from a war in a higher dimension.

• Bai Lin ordered Spacetime Fleet reinforcements and divided sixty million warships of the Second United Fleet into six formations for deployment.
• Commander Almaz's Guangyu Empire fleet failed to escape using cosmic strings, so Hill folded the fleet spatially to engage the Star Ancient Empire at close range.
• General Chen Rui ordered his Third Formation to attack with black hole weapons, rapid-fire cannons, interstellar viruses, and quantum ghost warfare.
• Ailan met Pan Zhen outside the Heavenly Dao Universe, where eighty million Merlo Heavenly Court warships had appeared as she sought resources for her civilization.
• Ailan felt the universe shake and Pan Zhen told her that the tremors had intensified over the past half year, likely because war had broken out in a higher-dimensional universe.

Ailan learned that Great Qin Empire had been crippled in a fifty-thousand-year war against Great Qin Heavy Industry and its Huaxia allies, while Pan Zhen proposed an alliance against the Huaxia dynasties. In Xianyang Palace, the Huaxia Alliance’s emperors assessed an approaching Level Six fleet and argued over a missing impostor and Qing’s past failures.

• Ailan questioned Pan Zhen about Great Qin Empire, and he explained how Great Qin Heavy Industry and the united Huaxia dynasties had nearly destroyed it in a fifty-thousand-year war.
• Pan Zhen urged Ailan to form an alliance against the Huaxia dynasties, but she vanished without giving him an answer.
• First Emperor Ying Zheng told the Huaxia Alliance that at least eighty million Level Six warships had appeared outside the Heavenly Dao Universe.
• Ying Zheng said the new fleet was not the force that had destroyed Great Qin Empire before, since that force could have defeated thousands of Level Five civilizations.
• The emperors demanded to know whether the impostor had been found, and Temujin criticized Kangxi the Great for Qing’s role in letting the impostor escape.
