Chapter Summaries

Su Li brought Xia Ke to Tianguang Star to visit the Cosmic Species Alliance and meet Hall Master Ling. After showing Xia Ke around, Su Li asked Hall Master Ling to exchange for one of every kind of knowledge in the categories he had listed, leaving Hall Master Ling bewildered.

• Su Li and Xia Ke arrived at Tianguang Star, where Xia Ke marveled at the plaza and its many strange life-forms.
• A Lingming life-form mocked Xia Ke as a country bumpkin, and Su Li reassured her.
• Hall Master Ling arrived and greeted Su Li, then warmly introduced himself to Xia Ke after realizing she was close to Su Li.
• Su Li, Xia Ke, and Hall Master Ling went to the alliance's main hall, where Su Li explained that he had come to exchange for knowledge.
• Su Li gave Hall Master Ling a storage device containing categories of knowledge and asked him for one of everything on the list, leaving Hall Master Ling stunned.

Su Li arranged to stay at the Alliance Hall with Xia Ke while waiting for the extensive knowledge he had requested, and planned to use his time there to gather intelligence for concealing his plans. He took Xia Ke out to explore the Cosmic Species Alliance, starting with the Exchange Hall.

• Su Li confirmed he was willing to spend at least fifty billion Contribution Points on knowledge, and Hall Master Ling agreed to prepare a residence for him and Xia Ke.
• Su Li planned to use Consciousness Virtualization to gather intelligence from Alliance Hall devices and improve his chances of evading the Alliance's inspections.
• Hall Master Ling asked about the ten star systems Su Li had purchased, and Su Li said their purpose would remain secret for a hundred to a thousand years.
• Su Li transformed his room into a palace using Mind Scenery, and Xia Ke teased him about the name Virtual God.
• Su Li offered to take Xia Ke to the Exchange Hall and ask Hall Master Ling about helping her advance; Xia Ke said she wanted to see what the Alliance was like, so they left together.

After spending a month with Xia Ke on Tianguang Star, Su Li bought extensive energy and matter research from the Cosmic Species Alliance and returned with her to Earth. He then completed his preparations to retrieve Mormodo and arrived at the Alliance Hall disguised as Mormodo, surprising Hall Master Ling.

• Su Li learned that the knowledge he wanted cost six hundred billion Contribution Points, paid for it, and left the Alliance Hall with the research.
• Su Li took Xia Ke back to Earth, where she enjoyed being home, while he explained that they needed to remain in the Gemuzer Star Cluster to handle unfinished business.
• Su Li returned to his laboratory and spent seven days completing research to secure the Contribution Points needed to retrieve Mormodo.
• Su Li went back to Tianguang Star disguised as Mormodo, and Hall Master Ling recognized him and asked why he had appeared in his original form.

Su Li, disguised as Mormodo, collected twenty-five billion Contribution Points from the Cosmic Species Alliance and asked Hall Master Ling to arrange the purchase and development of a galaxy. He explained that Virtual God had offered to spar with him in exchange for helping develop at least three thousand galaxies, and left Hall Master Ling stunned by the scale of the deal.

• Su Li told Hall Master Ling that Mormodo intended to travel the universe and imitate powerful lifeforms.
• Hall Master Ling gave Su Li twenty-five billion Contribution Points without the alliance's inspections detecting the deception.
• Su Li asked Hall Master Ling to help him purchase and develop a galaxy like the ones Virtual God had bought.
• Hall Master Ling questioned Su Li's motives and explained that Virtual God had promised not to misuse his galaxies.
• Su Li revealed that Virtual God had offered to spar with him if he helped purchase and develop at least three thousand galaxies.

Su Li used Mormodo’s identity to secure Contribution Points and planned to use him as a public decoy while keeping his own activities hidden. After returning to the Virtual Universe, he met Beifeng Gore, whose shock at Su Li’s powerful aura led him to question how Su Li had nearly perfected his Celestial God genes.

• Su Li decided to use Mormodo to attract attention while he secretly completed his talents and bought star systems.
• Su Li boarded the Silver Shadow Flying Boat, set it on automatic navigation, and returned to the Virtual Universe.
• Su Li went to Linghui Star and awakened Beifeng Gore in his laboratory.
• Beifeng Gore sensed Su Li’s changed aura and asked how he had made his Celestial God genes almost perfect.
• Su Li realized his Celestial God Transformation had reached ninety-eight percent and wondered why Beifeng Gore considered that so difficult.

Su Li pressured Beifeng Gore for the truth about the Eternal Celestial God, then returned to the Origin Space and discovered that its energy could transform him into the Life and Death Celestial God. He rejected the transformation and left after realizing the energy disturbance could draw attention.

• Su Li confronted Beifeng Gore about the Eternal God Clan and the Eternal Celestial God's supposed death, and Beifeng Gore fell silent and returned to dormancy.
• Su Li left Beifeng Gore behind and returned to the Origin Space, where he found he could sense its laws in his normal state.
• Su Li transformed into his Celestial God form, causing the surrounding Celestial God Energy to surge toward him.
• Su Li realized that accepting the energy would make him a true Life and Death Celestial God, but he repelled it to preserve his plan to combine the talents of his six ultimate forms.
• Su Li decided the disturbance was too conspicuous and vanished from the area.

Su Li built a hidden metal base in Origin Space and spent a month and a half studying energy and matter. As the Silver Shadow Flying Boat neared the Yanlong Star Cluster, he decided to create a new cultivation site on Earth for Huaxia.

• Su Li used Engineering Robots to build a metal base in Origin Space that resisted Celestial God Energy and included spatial and Mind Scenery functions.
• Su Li made the base resemble his laboratory and accelerated time around himself while studying knowledge from Hall Master Ling and the Cosmic Species Alliance.
• After a month and a half, Su Li stopped his studies and prepared to leave the Silver Shadow Flying Boat as it neared the Yanlong Star Cluster.
• Xia Ke told Su Li that Director Ye could no longer access the old cultivation site because Earth had moved.
• Su Li promised to create a better cultivation site on Earth and asked Xia Ke to have Director Ye find a plot of land no larger than a thousand mu.

Su Li spent seven years studying energy and matter in the Virtual Universe while purchasing star systems and helping Huaxia establish a cultivation ground. After sixty-three years under Time Acceleration, he reached the conditions to complete Energy Manipulation and Material Manipulation, and decided it was time to reveal the two talents.

• Su Li purchased five star systems in the Yanlong Star Cluster and returned to Earth.
• Su Li used a rune containing synthesized Void Energy to provide Huaxia's chosen site in Gan Province with a source of energy.
• Su Li spent most of his time studying the Cosmic Species Alliance's knowledge in the Virtual Universe, while occasionally purchasing more star systems and visiting Xia Ke and his family.
• Seven years passed outside, during which Su Li experienced sixty-three years under Time Acceleration.
• Su Li realized he had reached the conditions to complete Energy Manipulation and Material Manipulation, and decided to bring the talents into the world.

Su Li worked to perfect Material Manipulation and Energy Manipulation simultaneously inside the Virtual Universe, eventually becoming enclosed in a cocoon of symbols. The Eternal Celestial God detected a threat in the Origin Space and sent the Eternal God Clan to find it, directing them toward the Upper Thirty-Three Districts after Beifeng Gore went missing.

• Su Li spent a month attempting to perfect both talents at once, and the growing symbols around him formed a silent, solid cocoon.
• The Eternal Celestial God appeared before thousands of members of the Eternal God Clan and warned them of a new threat in the Origin Space.
• The Eternal Celestial God gave each member a manifestation of his energy and ordered them to find and destroy the threat.
• The Eternal God Clan tried to contact patrol agents Besmoti, Kolsjes, Beifeng Gore, and Liuyunzi, then learned Beifeng Gore had lost contact.
• The clan's leader sent the first two teams to the Upper Thirty-Three Districts and ordered the third team to search the surrounding area.

Su Li continued completing Material Manipulation and Energy Manipulation as the talents began to fuse, while the Eternal God Clan searched the Upper Thirty-Three Districts for a supposed threat. After three months, the clan detected a vast energy reaction and sent Korgis to investigate it first.

• Su Li realized Material Manipulation and Energy Manipulation were slowly fusing, which would reduce the number of talents needed for a future fusion from six to five.
• The Eternal God Clan arrived in the Upper Thirty-Three Districts and spread out to search for the threat identified by their intelligence.
• After three months of searching, the Eternal God Clan detected a massive energy reaction across the district.
• The Eternal God Clan members speculated that someone might be advancing to become a Cosmic Deity, and one of them ordered Korgis to investigate in Void Mode.

Korski investigated a strange energy source in Void Mode and watched a vast golden pillar of light vanish in an explosion. When a mysterious voice asked if he was looking for them, Korski realized someone had entered his ship and pressed the alarm button.

• Korski ordered the ship into Void Mode and flew toward the energy source's location.
• Korski discovered an immense golden pillar of light and sent his findings to the Eternal God Clan.
• The golden light gradually thinned, then its energy surged and the pillar disappeared in a burst of radiance.
• Korski found only empty void at the explosion's center before a voice asked, "Hey, are you looking for me?"
• Korski realized someone had entered his ship and pressed the red button.

Su Li used his newly formed Reality Manipulation talent to infiltrate Korski’s spaceship and capture the Eternal God Clan member. Just as he was about to seize Korski, an energy lifeform appeared, identified itself as the Eternal Celestial God, and mistook Su Li for a newly born Celestial God.

• Su Li’s Energy Manipulation and Material Manipulation talents fused into Reality Manipulation, allowing him to control reality within a domain around himself.
• Su Li discovered Korski’s concealed spaceship, bypassed its defenses, and reached Korski inside.
• Su Li tried to capture Korski, immobilizing and drawing him toward his hand.
• A golden energy lifeform burst from Korski, broke Su Li’s restraint, and appeared before him.
• The energy lifeform called Su Li a newly born Celestial God and identified itself as the Eternal Celestial God.

Su Li realized the being calling itself the Eternal Celestial God was likely a clone, and he prepared to leave rather than trust it. When the energy lifeform blocked his way, Su Li recognized the barrier’s energy and resolved to break it.

• Su Li assessed that he could still commit suicide to escape if the Eternal Celestial God tried to capture him.
• Su Li sensed that the energy lifeform had far less energy than Ling Yue and concluded it was probably a clone of the Eternal Celestial God.
• The energy lifeform questioned why Su Li, an A+-rank Celestial God, was not advancing, while Korski realized Su Li could be valuable to their plan.
• Su Li dismissed the offer of advancement advice and tried to leave Origin Space.
• The energy lifeform raised a golden barrier, and Su Li identified its energy and the power of Eternal before preparing to erase it.

Su Li tested the Energy Lifeform by dragging him into a constructed battlefield and attacking him, while a bold idea began to form in Su Li’s mind. The Energy Lifeform’s strike was blocked by a human-form Su Li, and two more Su Lis appeared, leaving him confronted by three versions of his opponent.

• Su Li considered the Celestial God advancement path and formed a new idea, but set it aside to deal with the Energy Lifeform.
• Su Li transported the Energy Lifeform from the spaceship cabin to a barren planet beneath a starry sky.
• The Energy Lifeform sensed the planet’s mass increasing rapidly and swung an energy longsword to cut it apart.
• A human-form Su Li emerged and blocked the Energy Lifeform’s attack, while the planet remained unharmed and continued gaining mass.
• The Energy Lifeform questioned Su Li’s changed aura, then saw two more Su Lis step out of the void.

The Energy Lifeform concluded that Su Li was likely an embodied clone of a powerful Cosmic Celestial God and tried to escape the planet, but an unknown ability returned him to his starting point. As the planet collapsed, eleven Su Li clones attacked him, and their assault continued despite his Eternal defense.

• The Energy Lifeform saw identical Su Li clones appear and suspected they were created by a powerful Cosmic Celestial God.
• He flew away from the planet, but an unknown ability returned him to his original position.
• The Energy Lifeform realized he was trapped on the planet as the number of Su Li clones increased to seven, then nine.
• The planet began collapsing under its growing gravity, and nine Su Li clones attacked the Energy Lifeform together.
• The Energy Lifeform blocked two attacks with his Eternal power, but the others struck without harming him.
• Two more Su Li clones emerged from the void, bringing their number to eleven, and they attacked again.

Su Li used Reality Manipulation to create powerful imitations of himself and Ling Guang, though he discovered that the copies depended on his Reality Domain and could not be produced without limit. He watched the growing swarm overwhelm the energy lifeform, which was pushed close to collapse.

• Su Li realized the energy lifeform endured his attacks thanks to its experience and Eternal ability, making it difficult to defeat quickly.
• Su Li explained that Reality Manipulation could alter known realities but could not directly kill an opponent protected by a comparable ability.
• Su Li revealed that his imitations were bodies containing his virtual consciousness and could exist only inside his Reality Domain.
• Su Li noted that the imitations carried replicated Ling Guang weapons, but creating them consumed his limited energy output and could not generate limitless wealth.
• Su Li's twenty-one imitations, aided by Ling Guang and the collapsing planet's black hole, broke through the energy lifeform's defenses and drove it close to collapse.

Su Li killed Energy Lifeform, who managed to send an invisible signal before dying. Suspecting that reinforcements would learn what happened, Su Li manipulated his Reality Domain to trap the approaching Eternal God Clan spaceship, leaving its occupant stranded and unable to contact others.

• Energy Lifeform sent an invisible ripple before Su Li's attacks destroyed him.
• Su Li suspected Energy Lifeform had left information behind and searched the area with counterfeit versions of himself.
• Su Li detected a spaceship approaching and decided to delay it so its crew could not learn Energy Lifeform had died at his hands.
• Su Li altered his Reality Domain, causing the spaceship to become trapped about 1.8 light-years from its destination.
• The Eternal God Clan member aboard tried an ultra-long-distance traversal and backup communications, but the ship remained in place and lost contact with others.

Su Li searched for a message left by the Energy Lifeform while more Eternal God Clan spacecraft gathered outside his Reality Domain. The clan prepared to awaken God's avatars, and Su Li found and destroyed a sphere of encrypted information.

• Su Li sent more than twenty replicas to search the void but found no trace of the Energy Lifeform.
• Two Eternal God Clan spacecraft arrived, and Su Li suspected that the clan had targeted him after the disturbance he caused.
• Su Li continued searching as hundreds of clan members gathered and several probing spacecraft became trapped in his Reality Domain.
• The Eternal God Clan decided to awaken all of God's avatars and began communicating with God.
• Su Li found a golden sphere of encrypted information near the earlier battlefield and punched it to destroy it.

Su Li tried to destroy a small sphere protected by the Eternal Celestial God’s rules, but an enormous golden figure formed inside his Reality Domain and forced him to choose between retreating and sacrificing himself to destroy it. After Su Li detonated himself, the figure contained the explosion and recovered two identical spheres from the void.

• Su Li and more than twenty replicas bombarded the small sphere until its protective light began to fail.
• Hundreds of Eternal God Clan spaceships sent golden figures into a growing giant that reached one billion kilometers tall.
• The giant stepped into Su Li’s Reality Domain, destroying his traps and shaking the domain as Su Li weighed whether to keep attacking.
• Su Li chose to detonate himself and the energy in his Reality Domain beside the nearly destroyed sphere.
• The giant halted and erased the expanding white explosion, then split into hundreds of golden figures.
• Two golden figures searched the restored void and retrieved two small spheres identical to the one Su Li had destroyed.

Su Li escaped the Virtual Universe believing the explosion had erased the evidence of his involvement, but the Energy Lifeforms discovered Korski’s remains and reversed time to revive him. Korski’s account left them wondering about the pillar of light that had pierced through space.

• Su Li emerged from the Virtual Universe and concluded that the explosion had destroyed the little sphere and hidden his role from the Eternal God Clan.
• The Energy Lifeforms learned that a powerful Cosmic Celestial God could infiltrate Origin Space and ordered Eternal God Clan members to locate Korski’s death site.
• A colossal Energy Lifeform used immense energy to reverse time and restore Korski, reducing the gathered Energy Lifeforms to twenty-three.
• Korski awoke, learned that he had died and been revived, then recounted what he remembered before the Celestial God attacked.
• The Energy Lifeforms focused on Korski’s description of a pillar of light piercing through boundless space, which they found familiar.
