Chapter Summaries

Su Li and the A-rank mechs intercepted Halls and Borg as they tried to escape, then Su Li pursued Halls while the mechs engaged Borg. Halls nearly escaped by distracting Su Li with special material, but Su Li broke free and interrupted his teleportation, leaving them face to face.

• Su Li and the two A-rank mechs interrupted Halls and Borg's attempts to teleport away.
• Borg recognized the mechs from the rule space and charged at them, expecting to defeat them quickly.
• Halls gave up fleeing and waited on a meteorite, hoping a fight might let him escape Su Li.
• Halls shattered the meteorite and used a glittering piece of special material to distract Su Li, then began teleporting away.
• Su Li's Triggered Soul Defense System freed him from the distraction, and he punched Halls to interrupt the teleportation.

Su Li struggled to defeat Halls quickly because his carbon abilities were weakened and his mechas were absent, so he drew on a powerful energy reserve. Halls’s attacks failed to stop him, and Su Li continued shaping the gathered energy into a curved blade.

• Su Li realized that killing Halls would take too long while Star Devourer’s energy storm was nearing readiness.
• Su Li crushed a golden energy-storage sphere and drew its immense energy from the surrounding space.
• Halls attacked by collapsing space, but Su Li blocked the assault with Void Energy shields and absorbed energy from it.
• Halls recognized that his attacks only replenished Su Li’s defenses and could do nothing but take a beating.

Su Li defeated the wanted criminal Halls with a devastating attack powered by refined Celestial God Energy, then hurried to help Berg’s pursuers and killed Berg and Kersti. He planned to turn over the three criminals’ remains to the Cosmic Species Alliance only after making sure they could not reveal information about his abilities.

• Su Li struck Halls with a golden energy attack that shattered space, destroyed his Life Armor, and left his true Dark Demon Race body behind.
• Su Li collected Halls’s true body and reflected on how much he could improve his new trump card.
• Su Li arrived to find Berg fighting two A-rank mechs and killed Berg within seconds.
• Su Li killed the unconscious Kersti after deciding that none of the three wanted criminals could be allowed to reveal his abilities.
• Su Li resolved to destroy or conceal the criminals’ remains so the Cosmic Species Alliance could not extract information from them.

Su Li saved Swallowing Star, moved him away from the ruined Lavi Star System, and began erasing the battlefield with dark energy before the Cosmic Species Alliance arrived. At the alliance headquarters, the Hall Master announced that a new Cosmic Celestial God named World was about to be born.

• Su Li stabilized Swallowing Star just before the star was about to explode.
• Su Li decided to destroy the battlefield’s remaining traces, then pushed Swallowing Star to a small star system ten light-years away.
• Su Li returned to the Lavi Star System and began drawing dark energy from the void to destroy the region.
• The Order Divine Domain trembled, and a golden figure appeared before the alliance’s leaders as the Hall Master.
• The Hall Master announced that a new Cosmic Celestial God, named World, was about to be born.

The golden phantom learned that the World Celestial God would be an independent lifeform and ordered the alliance to investigate a newborn life Celestial God on Tianling Star. Meanwhile, Su Li destroyed the Lavi Star System to conceal what happened, counted the spoils from his captured wanted criminals, and noticed someone approaching.

• The golden phantom explained that the World Celestial God would embody a composite rule, then instructed the alliance to monitor events within its territory.
• The Energy Lifeform reported that a newborn life Celestial God lived on Tianling Star and that the Human Alliance also had a right to compete for him.
• The golden phantom ordered the alliance to investigate Tianling Star and said he would speak with his human acquaintances.
• Su Li detonated the dark energy he had gathered around the Lavi Star System, then escaped before the explosions swept through the region.
• Su Li counted the spoils from Halls, Silent One Kirsty, and another A-rank lifeform, and looked toward a new ripple in space.

Su Li handed the defeated Swallowing Star over to Hall Master Ling and learned that a newly born Celestial God was staying on Tianling Star. The name and the Celestial God together triggered Su Li’s memory, leaving him startled by the apparent connection.

• Su Li met Hall Master Ling, the Gemuzer Star Cluster branch hall master, after arriving beside Swallowing Star.
• Su Li introduced himself as Xuni and told Hall Master Ling that he had captured the wanted criminal Swallowing Star.
• Hall Master Ling offered to process the reward at the alliance hall, but Su Li explained that he was already a level-nine alliance member and could hand over Swallowing Star there.
• Hall Master Ling asked whether Su Li had come to the cluster for more than Swallowing Star, then revealed that a newly born Celestial God was staying on Tianling Star.
• Su Li recognized the names Tianling Star and Celestial God together and reacted with sudden surprise.

Su Li realized that Hall Master Ling’s Tianling Star was the same world he knew from the Virtual Universe, where a newborn Celestial God was destined to die. Seeing a chance to obtain the living Celestial God’s remains, he offered to fight for the Cosmic Species Alliance, despite Hall Master Ling’s suspicions about his loyalties.

• Su Li connected Tianling Star’s newborn Celestial God to the Celestial God remains he had found there in the Virtual Universe and concluded that the Virtual Universe showed planets from the future.
• Su Li decided to pursue the living Celestial God, believing it could help him advance his Celestial God Transformation.
• Hall Master Ling explained that the Human Alliance and the Cosmic Species Alliance would each send three A-Class fighters to compete for the right to recruit the Celestial God.
• Su Li offered to join the Cosmic Species Alliance’s team, but Hall Master Ling reacted with suspicion because Su Li was human and might be a Human Alliance spy.
• Su Li concluded that he needed the Cosmic Species Alliance to help him locate Tianling Star, since he lacked its coordinates and did not want to approach the Human Alliance.

Su Li persuaded Hall Master Ling to let him challenge the strongest candidate for the Alliance’s battle, offering to withdraw if he lost. Hall Master Ling agreed and promised Contribution Points for Devourer, which Su Li needed to pursue the Celestial God.

• Su Li proposed challenging the strongest selected candidate, with victory earning him a place in the battle and defeat ending his request.
• Su Li explained that he wanted Contribution Points and a promotion, and he threatened to seek help from the Human Alliance if Hall Master Ling refused.
• Hall Master Ling verbally agreed to Su Li’s proposal and invited him to the Alliance Hall in the Gemuzer Star Cluster.
• Hall Master Ling left Devourer for others to collect and later confirmed that Su Li’s Alliance membership had been recorded.
• Hall Master Ling agreed that Su Li could challenge the strongest candidate and reported Devourer’s capture so Su Li could receive Contribution Points.

Su Li planned to use Resource Points and the Cosmic Species Alliance’s resources to prepare A-rank mechs for the battle over the Cosmic Celestial God. In the Virtual Universe, he found a myth that appeared to describe a guardian god battling darkness and scattering across Tianling Star.

• Su Li decided he could not wait to collect the Cosmic Celestial God’s corpse and would instead prepare to take part in the struggle on Tianling Star.
• Su Li planned to buy star systems and hire development teams to increase his Resource Points, while seeking materials through the Cosmic Species Alliance.
• Su Li fortified a mountain with shielding, alarms, and barriers before entering the Virtual Universe.
• Su Li scanned Tianling Star and its network, finding no evidence of a battle but discovering a small country’s legend about a guardian god who fought darkness and scattered into fragments across the world.

Su Li developed a receiver that hid the consciousness signals from his A-Class mechas and decided to join the war to obtain the newly born Celestial God. He returned to the Gemuzer Star Cluster Alliance branch hall and asked to go to the trading area.

• Su Li suspected someone had sabotaged the Celestial God's battle and resolved to stay alert for an ambush.
• Su Li asked Beifeng Ge'er to collect enough Cosmic Celestial God materials for at least thirty mechas in exchange for help collecting Celestial God Energy.
• Su Li used Consciousness Virtualization to design a receiver that concealed the signals he produced while controlling A-Class mechas.
• After considering the risks of discovery, Su Li committed to joining the war and obtaining the newly born Celestial God.
• Su Li learned that Hall Master Ling had credited his Contribution Points and asked the refined woman to take him to the trading area.

Su Li exchanged Contribution Points for ten star systems and hired two thousand development teams to expand his resource production. He also sold resources to the Cosmic Species Alliance and arranged expedited delivery, with part of the shipment coming from the Gemuzer Star Cluster.

• Su Li bought ownership of ten star systems near the edge of the Gemuzer Star Cluster for thirty-nine million Contribution Points and received a warning from the subsidiary intelligence.
• Su Li spent twenty million Contribution Points to hire two thousand development teams from ten super-large civilizations and paid for ultra-long-distance teleportation.
• Su Li gave the subsidiary intelligence a storage device containing resources, which it valued at 1.87654 billion Contribution Points, plus one million for transport costs.
• Su Li agreed to pay an additional ten million Contribution Points to reduce the delivery time to one-third using a Dimensional Ship.
• The subsidiary intelligence offered to provide one-quarter of the resources from the Gemuzer Star Cluster, and Su Li accepted.

Su Li began preparing to mass-produce A-rank mechs while taking precautions to hide the origins of materials from the Cosmic Species Alliance. Hall Master Ling delivered the materials and left without advancing the challenge, giving Su Li time to work.

• Su Li decided to modify the A-rank mechs so the Cosmic Species Alliance could not trace their materials back to him.
• Hall Master Ling arrived with the materials and explained that he had come because of Su Li’s major transaction, not because the challenge had been arranged so quickly.
• Su Li reassured Hall Master Ling that he had bought the star systems for development, and Hall Master Ling accepted his invitation to share a meal later.
• After Hall Master Ling left, Su Li calculated that Time Acceleration gave him nearly five years to prepare for the challenge.
• Su Li activated Time Acceleration and began processing the secondary materials while waiting for the Cosmic Celestial God material and Celestial God Energy.

After seven days of processing materials, Su Li discovered that his Resource Points were accumulating far faster than before and went to collect materials for mechas. He left Beifeng Ge'er behind to continue working and entered Origin Space alone to extract Celestial God Energy.

• Su Li checked his status panel and found that he had gained five hundred and thirty trillion Resource Points in seven days.
• Su Li estimated that his new income would let him afford the remaining sections of the Nine Spirit Diagram of the Supreme God and eventually materialize Cosmic Deities.
• Su Li entered the Virtual Universe and met Beifeng Ge'er beside the corpse of a Cosmic Celestial God.
• Beifeng Ge'er said he had collected enough materials for five complete mechas, and Su Li took the materials after telling him to finish the task before Su Li fulfilled his promise.
• Su Li stored the materials on Linghui Star, left Beifeng Ge'er behind, and traveled alone to Origin Space.

Su Li discovered that Celestial God Energy had grown thinner throughout the Origin Space and suspected the Eternal God Clan was secretly collecting it for a purpose beyond the one Beifeng Ge'er had described. He left the truth unresolved and began gathering energy while prioritizing his plans in the Real Universe.

• Su Li entered the Origin Space and used Celestial God Transformation to withstand its pressure and perceive its laws.
• Su Li traveled through the Origin Space and confirmed that its Celestial God Energy was thinner than before.
• Su Li suspected the Eternal God Clan had been collecting energy for years and that Beifeng Ge'er had concealed its real objective.
• Su Li decided to focus on completing his Celestial God Transformation and keep Beifeng Ge'er from causing trouble until he revealed the truth.
• Su Li took out storage equipment and began collecting Celestial God Energy.

Su Li spent three months manufacturing A-rank mechs, bringing his total to thirty-three, before Hall Master Ling summoned him with news that three A-rank lifeforms had arrived to participate. Su Li learned that Great Sage of the Wind was among them and suspected he would be his next opponent.

• Su Li spent 700 trillion Resource Points on materials and energy, then began making A-rank mechs in a simulated laboratory.
• Over three months, Su Li completed twenty-nine A-rank mechs, increasing his total to thirty-three.
• When he sensed someone approaching, Su Li erased traces of his work from the room’s central system and dismantled his projected laboratory.
• Hall Master Ling told Su Li that three A-rank lifeforms had arrived, but revealed only that Great Sage of the Wind was one of them.
• Su Li recalled that Great Sage of the Wind was a powerful A+-rank Mutated Life from the Lingyun Star Cluster and asked why he had come so far.

Su Li learned why Hall Master Ling wanted to keep Great Sage of the Wind out of the battle: the ancient Mutated Life was searching for Celestial Gods in hopes of advancing, and his time was nearly up. Su Li agreed to face him and left the conversation with a strange smile.

• Su Li reasoned that Mutated Life represented incomplete rules and that Great Sage of the Wind might be drawn to Celestial Gods.
• Hall Master Ling confirmed that Great Sage of the Wind would be Su Li's next opponent and admitted he hoped to keep him out of the battle.
• Hall Master Ling revealed that Great Sage of the Wind had been an A-rank life-form for more than 120 million years and was an eleventh-level alliance member.
• Hall Master Ling explained that Great Sage of the Wind had left the Lingyun Star Cluster five million years earlier to search for Celestial Gods and might risk breaking the rules to pursue advancement.
• Su Li understood the danger and smiled strangely as the conversation ended.

Su Li agreed to stop Great Sage of the Wind from meeting the Heavenly Deity in exchange for Hall Master Ling’s promise to help him advance in the Cosmic Species Alliance. Hall Master Ling arranged the meeting, and Su Li considered whether Great Sage might have powerful armor that could challenge his strength.

• Su Li asked Hall Master Ling to arrange a meeting with Great Sage of the Wind and requested help advancing afterward.
• Hall Master Ling agreed, while Su Li clarified that he aimed to reach level eleven rather than level ten.
• Hall Master Ling warned Su Li that Great Sage of the Wind’s long life might give him a way to overcome Su Li’s expected advantage.
• Su Li decided he would reveal his physical strength if needed and thought about the attribute-enhancing armor he had seen on Mos Bei and the three A-rank wanted criminals.
• Su Li and Hall Master Ling set out to meet Great Sage of the Wind, and Su Li wondered whether the old senior owned similar armor.

Su Li persuaded Hall Master Ling to lend him pinnacle equipment for his upcoming spar with Great Sage of the Wind, provided Great Sage used comparable equipment first. At the alliance’s secure vault, Su Li saw three extraordinary devices and realized ordinary battle armor might not enhance A+-rank lifeforms, but he kept his suspicions about Great Sage’s equipment to himself.

• Su Li stopped Hall Master Ling and asked whether weapons were allowed in his spar with Great Sage of the Wind.
• Hall Master Ling explained that A+-rank equipment was extremely rare, then agreed to lend Su Li a piece if Great Sage used comparable equipment first.
• Su Li followed Hall Master Ling through security checks to a vast vault deep inside the alliance’s main hall.
• Hall Master Ling showed Su Li three pinnacle devices: an offensive cutting weapon, auxiliary battle armor, and a domain activation device.
• Su Li realized ordinary battle armor might not augment A+-rank lifeforms and reconsidered why the damaged armor he had obtained had seemed useless.
• Su Li decided not to reveal his misunderstanding, keeping open the possibility that Great Sage of the Wind might possess pinnacle equipment.

Su Li selected the Peak Weapon Linglight, a High-Energy Cutting Weapon, after Hall Master Ling explained the equipment prepared for the Celestial God battle. After briefly activating it and witnessing its laws collapse nearby space, Su Li put it away, eager to return home and study laws.

• Hall Master Ling told Su Li that each of the three battle participants would receive one Peak Weapon, rather than a full set.
• Su Li chose the High-Energy Cutting Weapon because he wanted an explosive attack weapon.
• Hall Master Ling lent Su Li the sword Linglight and explained that it could draw power from backup energy or an A-rank lifeform.
• Su Li injected Energy Manipulation energy into Linglight, causing its laws to transform the energy and its radiance to collapse the surrounding space.
• Hall Master Ling warned Su Li not to use the dangerous weapon recklessly, and Su Li withdrew the energy and put Linglight away.

Su Li met Great Sage of the Wind, who tried to make him withdraw from their competition, but Su Li refused after recognizing the threat as a possible act. Hall Master Ling arranged their sparring match in a stable alternate dimension, and both contenders entered.

• Su Li asked Hall Master Ling about exchanging Contribution Points for Peak Weapons and learned that exchanges required substantial points and high authority.
• Hall Master Ling introduced Su Li to Great Sage of the Wind, who demanded that Su Li withdraw and threatened him when he refused.
• Hall Master Ling explained that Great Sage of the Wind had objected to Su Li's human identity, leading Su Li to suspect that the Great Sage's irrational behavior was an act.
• Hall Master Ling arranged a sparring match in a stable alternate dimension and set the rule that they should stop once the outcome was clear.
• Great Sage of the Wind opened a rift and entered the alternate dimension, and Su Li followed by tearing open space.
