Chapter Summaries

At the Star River Divine Decree, Cheng Han proposed expanding the Wandering Earth into a machine that could devour Celestial God stars, and He Di God Monarch ordered him to lead its development with Heavenly Rain God General. After the meeting, Cheng Han worried about working with a God General but turned his attention to uncovering the secrets of the Reaching Heaven Star River.

• Waves God General Rippling presented the Wandering Earth Plan to He Di God Monarch and the assembled God Generals.
• Cheng Han suggested improving the Wandering Earth so it could devour Celestial God Star and grow into a powerful war machine, and He Di God Monarch approved the idea.
• Heavenly Rain God General proposed using Nine Heavens Demonic Vine to help the Wandering Earth devour Celestial God Star.
• He Di God Monarch ordered Heavenly Rain God General to work with Cheng Han, then assigned Cheng Han to lead the project and commanded every War Zone to build three thousand Wandering Earths for an offensive against the Celestial Race.
• After the Star River Divine Decree ended, Cheng Han worried about leading a God General and decided to deduce the secrets of the Reaching Heaven Star River.

Cheng Han realized a new Space Element Law String and used it to compress the dining table and its dishes into Qian Qingqing’s palm before restoring them. He explained that the Sumeru Law String compressed space without harming objects, leaving Qian Qingqing and Wei Luo stunned by the scale of the power.

• Qian Qingqing and Wei Luo discussed plans to build Wandering Earths across the Rippling Waves War Domain while Cheng Han sat lost in thought.
• Cheng Han realized he had formed a second Space Element Law String and demonstrated it by making the dining table and dishes vanish.
• Cheng Han placed the compressed table and dishes in Qian Qingqing’s palm, then had her shake her hand to restore them to normal size.
• Wei Luo recognized the ability as a Space Secret Art, and Cheng Han explained that it worked through Space Compression and called the Law String the Sumeru Law String.
• Cheng Han reflected that the Reaching Heaven Star River contained matter equivalent to several Small Worlds compressed into a palm-sized artifact.

Cheng Han concluded that he needed to master seven Laws before attempting the ultimate Divine Pass and pursuing a rank beyond Divine Emperor. At the General Overseer Hall, Mystic Supervisors debated the Wandering Earth project and criticized his absence until Cheng Han suddenly appeared from within a tiny piece of Floating Algae.

• Cheng Han reasoned that mastering multiple Laws could lead to a higher rank and resolved to comprehend seven Laws before breaking through the Divine Pass.
• Master Artisans and Mystic Supervisors from nearby Jupiter Rings gathered to study the construction of the Wandering Earth and Planetary Engines.
• Several Mystic Supervisors dismissed the Giant Wooden Sphere as simple to build and sarcastically questioned Cheng Han's absence.
• Gu Xuandu defended Cheng Han, explaining that he had been stabilizing his cultivation and that the God General's Command trusted him.
• The Mystic Supervisors sensed an unseen observer, and Cheng Han and two others emerged from a tiny piece of Floating Algae.

Cheng Han showed the visiting General Overseers how his Law String could shrink them, then gave them a close-up tour of the Floating Algae, which he called Scale Ball Algae. He revealed that the Wandering Earth’s structure was modeled after it, leaving the visitors to recognize that his demonstration had answered their earlier dismissive remarks.

• Cheng Han emerged from the Floating Algae and greeted the General Overseers, explaining that he had gained insight into the Law String after encountering a True Divine Artifact.
• Cheng Han invited the General Overseers on an unusual tour, used his Invisible String to shrink them, and showed them the Artisans as towering giants.
• The shrunken General Overseers examined the enormous Floating Algae and discussed how Cheng Han’s Law Power could leave them helpless against him.
• The Floating Algae swam toward the General Overseers, who retreated until Cheng Han arrived with Qian Qingqing and another young woman and stopped it.
• Cheng Han named the creature Scale Ball Algae and revealed that the Wandering Earth’s structure was modeled after it, prompting the General Overseers to recall their earlier dismissive comments.

Cheng Han led the Overseers on a miniature journey through Scale Ball Algae, where Wei Luo and Qian Qingqing explained how its sensory and structural features inspired the Wandering Earth. The journey ended with the Overseers impressed by Cheng Han’s design and admiring the two female Overseers.

• A String Tremor enlarged the Floating Algae, and Wei Luo reassured the startled Overseers that the looming shadow was an Artisan passing overhead.
• Cheng Han used Space Power to bring the group to a Scale Ball Algae pore, where Wei Luo explained its sensitive airflow receptors and Qian Qingqing connected them to the Giant Ball’s detection systems.
• Cheng Han led the Overseers through the pore, and Wei Luo explained how its compressed passage and hexagonal interior structure worked.
• Wei Luo and Qian Qingqing demonstrated how the hexagonal network spread impact across the structure, impressing the Overseers with its value for the Wandering Earth.
• After the miniature journey ended, the Overseers praised Cheng Han’s wisdom and discussed how beautiful and rare Wei Luo and Qian Qingqing were.

Wei Luo enjoyed the respect and advantages she gained after God General's Command praised Cheng Han as having the bearing of a God Monarch. She arranged priority Firestone Core production for Mystic Overseer Gu and remained proud to be Cheng Han's plaything.

• Wei Luo overheard servants discussing Cheng Han's Law String and God General's Command's praise, and she reflected that the remark had ended the Mystic Overseers' contempt for her.
• Wei Luo dismissed the male servants and decided to replace the confidential staff with women after one of them stared at her.
• Wei Luo met Mystic Overseer Gu, accepted a gift for Miss Qingqing, and told him the first fifty Firestone Cores would be ready in two days at the earliest.
• Mystic Overseer Gu offered supplies in exchange for priority Firestone Cores, and Wei Luo agreed to prioritize his Jupiter Ring.

Qian Qingqing explained how Wandering Earth’s sentient will could operate its Planetary Engines with minimal personnel and demonstrated its capabilities to skeptical observers. The meeting was interrupted by news that a fleet of six thousand Light Sail Warships had been detected, and Cheng Han arrived as reports confirmed the fleet’s size.

• Qian Qingqing set the Wandering Earth project’s operating crew at 1,350 and explained that Mister Pei Qiang could control the engines with only thirty-six Mystic Adepts.
• Qian Qingqing used the Navigation Ring to summon a Light Cloud that displayed Wandering Earth’s operating procedures, convincing Ma Xuandu and the other observers.
• A Mystic Adept reported that the Star Sea Eye had detected a Light Sail Fleet two thousand kilometers away, and Qian Qingqing ordered the forward Warhawk Legion to investigate and Cheng Han to be notified.
• Cheng Han arrived, and a Mystic Master reported that the fleet contained six thousand Light Sail Warships.

Cheng Han responded to the Light Sail Fleet’s arrival by ordering the Jupiter Rings to strengthen detection and avoid a rash attack, then directed Qian Qingqing to prepare Wandering Earth for its second-phase test as a transport vessel. A massive supply shipment revealed Wandering Earth’s extraordinary loading speed, leaving the Mystic Overseers wondering whether it might one day replace the Jupiter Rings.

• Cheng Han trusted the Star Sea Eye’s detection of more than 6,300 Light Sail Warships and rejected Zhang Shiming’s suggestion to mobilize Warhawk Legions from nearby Jupiter Rings.
• Cheng Han ordered all Jupiter Rings to strengthen detection and not attack rashly, while saying their Warhawks could hold the rings if the Light Sail Fleet attacked.
• Cheng Han ordered the first-phase tests canceled and assigned Qian Qingqing to arrange Wandering Earth’s second-phase use as a transport vessel.
• The General Overseer Hall issued a manifest for five million Guided Profound Weapons, one hundred thousand East Wind Profound Weapons, five thousand Warhawks, launch systems, and personnel.
• Rows of Star Trains arrived with supplies, and Wandering Earth opened a passage where vines unloaded each Mystic Boat in about ten seconds.
• Gu Xuandu and the other Mystic Overseers watched the rapid unloading and wondered whether Wandering Earth might eventually replace the Jupiter Rings.

As Light Sail Fleets amassed across the star sea, Cheng Han launched Wandering Earth to break through the first fleet’s blockade. The Xuandus watched as the Giant Ball accelerated toward the enemy, unsure whether it could survive the planned ramming attack.

• Scouts discovered three more Light Sail Fleets, bringing the enemy’s known force to seventeen thousand warships and raising alarm among the Xuandus.
• Wandering Earth’s twelve Planetary Engines ignited, sending the Giant Ball accelerating and turning toward Light Sail Fleet Number One.
• The Xuandus learned that Cheng Han was aboard Wandering Earth and intended to challenge the blockade himself.
• Qian Qingqing reported that Wandering Earth had reached twice the speed of sound, and Cheng Han ordered maximum speed and prepared to ram the fleet.
• Cheng Han asked Qian Qingqing to send battle footage to the General Overseer Hall, where the Xuandus watched Wandering Earth charge the Light Sail Fleet and Gu Xuandu questioned the plan.

Cheng Han’s Active Defense Barrier protected the Wandering Earth from the Light Sail Fleet’s missile barrages. After predicting the enemy would target its Planetary Engines, he prepared to surprise the two fleets sent to attack them.

• The Light Sail Fleet fired two massive volleys of Light Shuttle missiles at the approaching Wandering Earth.
• The Wandering Earth’s Green Light Particles formed a Light Filament Network that detonated the missiles before they could damage the Giant Ball.
• Gu Xuandu and Zhang Xuandu realized the Wandering Earth had emerged unharmed and deduced that the network had neutralized the missiles.
• Cheng Han explained that the Active Defense Barrier used little power to detonate the missiles and said the Wandering Earth’s Planetary Engines were the enemy’s likely target.
• Two fleets of about two hundred warships each broke away from the main fleet and approached the Planetary Engines, confirming Cheng Han’s prediction.
• Cheng Han told Qian Qingqing that he had anticipated the enemy’s anticipation and was ready to surprise the attacking fleets.

The Wandering Earth used Star Dome Blink to close in on the Celestial Race fleet and overwhelm it with a massive volley of Profound Weapons, turning the battle into a rout. Cheng Han ordered a second volley and a limited pursuit, but the Giant Ball had spent most of its Star Power and could not blink again for two to three days.

• The Wandering Earth flashed across the battlefield and charged the Light Sail Fleet, stunning the Outer War Zone's Overseers.
• The Wandering Earth launched three hundred thousand Profound Weapons, overwhelming the Light Sail Fleet's defenses and destroying or heavily damaging at least two thousand warships.
• The Light Sail Fleet and the two smaller fleets began retreating as the Celestial Race suffered devastating losses.
• Cheng Han ordered a second volley of Profound Weapons, then explained that the Giant Ball had used more than half its Star Power and could not perform Star Dome Blink again for two to three days.
• Cheng Han deployed the Warhawk Legion to pursue the fleeing fleets for half an hour.

Cheng Han let Qian Qingqing command the Wandering Giant Ball in pursuit of a fleeing Light Sail Fleet, then taught her to distinguish tactical choices from strategic objectives. Qian Qingqing deduced that Cheng Han had deliberately chosen the pursuit to showcase Wandering Earth rather than destroy the fleet quickly.

• Qian Qingqing ordered Wandering Earth to pursue a damaged Large Light Sail Warship and planned to fire Mystic Weapons to slow the fleeing fleet.
• Cheng Han explained that slowing the enemy was not the same as achieving her goal of destroying them, and advised closing the distance before firing.
• Qian Qingqing agreed that her slowing tactic would waste Mystic Weapons, and Cheng Han told her not to cancel the order because changing commands could undermine authority and morale.
• Cheng Han asked Qian Qingqing to infer his strategic objective, teasing that a wrong answer would bring punishment that night.
• Qian Qingqing concluded that Cheng Han had chosen this fleet and led Wandering Earth into battle to showcase the Giant Ball, using it to fish.

Cheng Han used Wandering Earth to bait a Celestial Race deity into confronting the Myriad Heavens Race, while Qian Qingqing commanded the pursuit and learned to identify his strategy. The Light Sail Fleet was destroyed without drawing out a deity, and Cheng Han ordered Wandering Earth to return before sensing something behind it.

• Cheng Han praised Qian Qingqing for deducing that Wandering Earth was being used to lure out a Celestial Race deity.
• Qian Qingqing launched Guided Profound Weapons at the Light Sail Fleet, destroying some warships and slowing the fleet.
• Qian Qingqing ordered another, smaller wave of weapons to pressure the fleet and increase the chance that a deity would intervene.
• After more than two hundred warships were destroyed, a Six-Winged Celestial charged Wandering Earth but was killed by Intermediate Profound Weapons, and the remaining fleet was wiped out.
• The deity never appeared, so Cheng Han ordered Wandering Earth to return toward the Jupiter Ring.
• Cheng Han sensed something and sharply looked behind Wandering Earth.

Cheng Han used the Sumeru Law String and the Void Leap Rune to shrink the Wandering Earth and evade a Celestial Race Deity’s Light of Divine Wrath. He confirmed the enemy had taken the bait, and Waves God General Rippling’s power soon trapped the fleeing Twelve-Winged Birdman.

• A Celestial Race Deity fired the Light of Divine Wrath at the Wandering Earth.
• Cheng Han used the Void Leap Rune to empower the Sumeru Law String, shrinking the Wandering Earth just before the attack passed it.
• Cheng Han reassured Qian Qingqing that the trap had worked and deduced the Twelve-Winged Deity’s escape.
• Cheng Han recognized Waves God General Rippling’s power disrupting space around the fleeing birdman.
• Waves surged through the sea of stars and engulfed the Twelve-Winged Birdman.

Cheng Han’s plan helped Rippling defeat a Twelve-Winged Birdman, and he used the battle’s Light of Divine Wrath to deduce a new Divine Skill. The Overseers watched the battle unfold and came away convinced of Cheng Han’s extraordinary ability.

• Rippling trapped a Twelve-Winged Birdman in her Heavenly Lake and weakened it while other God Generals watched, crediting Cheng Han for creating the opportunity.
• Rippling’s final wave extinguished the birdman’s light, and the two other Celestial Race deities withdrew without joining the battle.
• Cheng Han and Qian Qingqing saw the battle end; he noted that Qian Qingqing’s spiritual power had improved and prepared to return.
• Cheng Han used the Eye of Omniscience to derive the Divine Skill he named the Divine Radiance Light Dome Ray from the birdman’s Light of Divine Wrath.
• The Overseers watched the battle through the monitoring Mystic Array, realized Cheng Han had used the Wandering Earth as bait to arrange the Divine War, and abandoned any thoughts of competing with him.

Cheng Han concluded that the Calamity Insect Swarm was pursuing him because it feared the potential of his True Flame Profound Imprint, and he decided to use two Void Divine Dragonfly avatars to test a new Divine Skill and investigate how they tracked him. He attacked them at the realm-cluster boundary with Silver Needles that followed them into Sub-space.

• Cheng Han observed Void Divine Dragonflies lingering outside the Nanyuan Realm Cluster and realized the swarm had not abandoned its pursuit.
• Cheng Han suspected the True Flame Profound Imprint had made the swarm wary after he used the Radiant Flame of Fire to kill two Divine Worms.
• Cheng Han resolved to test his Divine Radiance Light Dome Ray on the dragonflies and uncover how the swarm tracked him.
• Cheng Han vanished into the void and attacked two Void Divine Dragonfly avatars with Silver Needles.
• The two dragonflies entered Sub-space to evade the attack, but the Silver Needles followed them inside.

Cheng Han killed two Void Divine Dragonfly avatars by using Divine Radiance Fire to suppress their Space Law and prevent their escape. After detecting a strange signal linked to his attacks, he used the Eye of Omniscience to identify its source as the Main God-level Calamity Insect Queen.

• The two Void Divine Dragonflies escaped Cheng Han's first attack by fleeing through separate streams of Void Turbulence.
• Cheng Han struck one Dragonfly with the Divine Radiance Light Dome Ray, and Divine Radiance Fire burned it to ash.
• Cheng Han realized Divine Radiance Law had suppressed the Dragonfly's Space Law and made it open sub-space too slowly to escape.
• Cheng Han pursued and burned the second Void Divine Dragonfly, then suspected the Main God-level Divine Worm had sensed his use of Divine Radiance Fire.
• Cheng Han sensed a faint fluctuation from the slain Dragonfly and used the Eye of Omniscience to identify its source as the Calamity Insect Queen.

Cheng Han discovered that the Calamity Insect Queen could track him through True Soul Auras, but also sensed that she would not be born for at least half a year. He warned the Light Shuttle God General, who reported the threat to the Heavenly Killing God Monarch and learned that the insect swarm had infiltrated the Northern Domain Realm Cluster as well.

• Cheng Han deduced that the Calamity Insect Queen tracked him using True Soul Auras and sensed that she needed at least another half year to develop.
• Cheng Han sent a Flowing Light Needle carrying his findings to the Light Shuttle God General.
• The Light Shuttle God General received Cheng Han's message, learned that the Insect Queen could scan an entire Realm Cluster, and hurried to inform the Heavenly Killing God Monarch.
• The Light Shuttle God General warned the Heavenly Killing God Monarch that the Insect Queen's birth could herald another full-scale offensive.
• The Heavenly Killing God Monarch revealed that a Hall-Governing Divine Lord had found Calamity Insect Swarms in more than half of the Small Worlds he investigated in the Northern Domain Realm Cluster.
• The Heavenly Killing God Monarch concluded that the Epoch Calamity was erupting faster than Their Majesties had expected.

Fu Xuandu reported to the Heavenly Rain God General that Cheng Han’s Wandering Earth had used extraordinary Arcane Arts to defeat the Light Sail Fleet and kill a Celestial Race Deity. The God General reacted with anger, and Fu Xuandu left the God Island drenched by a storm of Divine Power, struck by how far Cheng Han had surpassed him.

• Fu Xuandu entered the Heavenly Rain God General’s God Island and waited for permission to deliver his report.
• Fu Xuandu explained that the Wandering Earth had intercepted a Light Dome Cannon with a Light Net and used whole-body Flash Teleport without Divine Power.
• Fu Xuandu reported that the Waves God General Rippling’s subordinate had called the Wandering Earth an absolute pinnacle and revolutionary creation of Arcane Arts.
• The Heavenly Rain God General fell silent and resumed work as the God Island’s sky darkened and a storm broke out.
• Fu Xuandu escaped the God Island drenched and began shivering after Divine Power’s negative erosion made him ill.

Cheng Han used the Life Crown Profound Imprint and Eye of Omniscience to identify suitable exotic plants for modifying the Wandering Earth and sent Heavenly Rain God General a detailed report. Heavenly Rain God General’s researchers debated Cheng Han’s findings, and the God General’s worsening mood brought another storm that drenched Fu Xuandu.

• Cheng Han reviewed the Exotic Plant Compendium and realized Heavenly Rain God General had given him a task that would normally require years of research.
• Cheng Han used his abilities to assess the exotic plants in two days and wrote a detailed report on their uses and modification methods.
• Cheng Han sent the report to Heavenly Rain God General and invited Qian Qingqing to help with a new experiment.
• Fu Xuandu delivered Cheng Han’s reply, which appeared on the Stone Tables before Heavenly Rain God General’s figures.
• Heavenly Rain God General’s figures debated Cheng Han’s findings, and the sky darkened as the God General’s mood worsened.
• Thunder and heavy rain returned, leaving Fu Xuandu drenched.
