• Zhang Pianpian told Zhang Yu that Fu Xiantian had buried charging pipelines that collected Spirit Vein power and energy released in battle, funneling it toward an object inside the Grand Star River Formation.

• Zhang Yu offered triple wages to recruit workers from Layers 2 through 5, including Xiang Shan, and secured financial support from the Deity Transformation Divine Lords to accelerate construction.

Zhang Yu raided the Righteous Qi Alliance’s stores and committed ten billion Spirit Coins to a mass recruitment drive to expand the Myriad Star Formation and stop the sky collapse. As workers flooded into the Fifth Layer, Fu Xiantian invited Zhang Yu to the New World and accused him of following the Evil God Fortune God.

• Zhang Yu and Bai Zhenzhen broke into Righteous Qi Alliance strongholds and seized supplies to fund wages and the sky-mending project.

The people of Kunxu bought the bonds in droves, leaving Zhang Yu with immense resources and crushing debts as the Heavenly Court’s Talisman Arts began to awaken.

• Fu Xiantian revealed that he had deduced Zhang Yu’s connection to the Fortune God and urged Zhang Yu to join his plan, but Zhang Yu realized the conversation had been an assessment.
• Zhang Yu and his allies accelerated the Myriad Star Formation renovation, and the completed work slowed the Sky Dome’s descent without stopping it.

As the exam was announced, the Heavenly Court arranged expanded tutoring and support, bringing elite students from rival universities together in Spark True Lord’s classroom.

Zhang Yu completed his master's degree and resumed cultivation, then received a new page of the Feather Scroll as the chapter ended.

After he used it to contact Reincarnation, the Upper Level tasked Kuang Tianqing with acting as an intermediary to reach him.

As the Preliminary Test approached, several students considered or used dangerous shortcuts, and Zhang Yu began testing repeated Exam Ancestor memory infusions on Yu Xinghan.

• Kuang Tianqing told Zhang Yu he had reincarnated from the Heavenly Devil Sect and offered him access to dead people’s memories in exchange for help passing the Sect Examination.
