Bai Wen prepared the defenses for the approaching enemy and argued with the Mechanical Race commander over whether the Zerg should serve as the first wave of cannon fodder. After Xingchen explained that the Zerg and Mechanical Race had little experience with other civilizations, Bai Wen ordered both forces to use more deliberate tactics, just as an abnormal fluctuation was detected from the Dimensional Black Hole.

• Bai Wen asked the Zerg Mother Queen how the Zerg were adapting to Neutron Annihilation, and she reported that they were evolving resistance to time-law weapons, armor, and shields.
• The Mechanical Race commander argued that the Zerg could fight on the Frontline and adapt quickly, but Bai Wen refused to send them in as cannon fodder.
• Bai Wen threatened to purge the Mechanical Race if it would not follow her battle plan, and Xingchen explained that the Mechanical Race and Zerg had only ever fought each other and relied on numbers and firepower.

• A report announced abnormal fluctuations from the Dimensional Black Hole.

• Bai Yi ordered the vanguard to avoid entering the enemy world early and assigned General Nix a stealth flank attack while the Pamir Federation prepared to lead the charge.
• Bai Wen ordered the Star Fortress and several fleets to bombard the area outside the Dimensional Black Hole, then prepared to deploy the insect race into the strike zone.

• Bai Yi and the commanders saw the destruction in a transmitted report, and one commander urged the remaining forces to enter the enemy world before another bombardment arrived.

The Zerg used Scarlet Element and a sea of insects to disrupt the Pamir civilization’s forces, drain their shields, and turn their warships against one another. General Mark learned that the fleet had been invaded when an insect crawled out of General Buck and killed him.

• Bai Yi ordered a counterattack after the frontline troops lost communications, while General Tunis concluded that an interference system was responsible.
• General Mark ordered his Fleet Group to fire on nearby life-form signals and split its forces to escape the interference zone, unaware that Zerg were devouring their warships.
• Bai Wen and the Mechanical Race commander identified the Scarlet Element’s effects, and Bai Wen chose to observe the Zerg rather than intervene.
• More than a thousand trillion Zerg warriors swarmed the Pamir fleet, sacrificing themselves against its Law-Level Energy Shields and draining their energy with Scarlet Element.
• General Mark contacted Buck, whose fleet had turned against its allies, but an insect crawled out of Buck’s mouth and killed him.

• Bai Yi sent cultivators from the Aux to search for the enemy’s main fleet and questioned General Tunis about the Pamir ships fighting one another.
• General Mark told Tunis that the enemy had controlled the Pamir forces, then killed a frenzied warrior and revealed insects emerging from its mouth.

Bai Yi recognized the overwhelming creatures filling the star river as the insect race and ordered the invading fleet to fight, but the battle drew in powerful Ninth-Order combatants and threatened to annihilate his forces. In Higher-Dimensional Space, the Forbidden Guardian refused to let an Empire Ninth-Order Lifeform enter, while the others argued over whether the Goddess of Life had already broken the balance.

• The alliance members looked to the Mechanical God Lord and Dragon Lord for a decision, while the Beast Lord fell silent after seeing Xingchen’s strength.

Bai Yi ordered the Star Ancient Empire’s Fleet Group to launch the Vector Star Cone, a one-use weapon capable of killing powerful experts, at the Tree of Life. The weapon pierced the Tree of Life’s defenses but was stopped by the golden chains, and the Star Princess’s clone collapsed.

• Bai Yi gave General Tunis the Vector Star Cone and ordered him to use Aux’s Main Cannon against Shu Da rooted in the void.
• A technician touched the weapon and died as it spread blackness through his body, so Bai Yi warned Tunis that it was a Causality Law Weapon Element.
• Bai Yi ordered the Fleet Group to fight the Zerg and break out of their encirclement.
• Aux installed the Vector Star Cone and fired it, destroying Zerg in its path as the Tree of Life attacked the warship.
• The star cone bypassed the golden chains once, but the chains reappeared and stopped it, causing the Star Princess’s clone to digitize and collapse.

Yang Yu learned that Xingchen had secretly resolved an Imperial data crisis and destroyed eight billion enemy warships in the Five-Dimensional World. Feeling excluded from decisions in the Empire he had built, he left the Imperial Study, while Xingchen remained behind.

• Long Ye explained that the Empire’s currency rules and transaction taxes made its agreement with the Three Kingdoms more profitable than tribute.
