Duke Falla weighed whether to support the Undying Monarch or Grand Duke Bo Lai while reviewing reports from the Heavenly Spirit Star System. News of a Black Tiger Race tribe conquering others led him to suspect Yi Chen and the vanished Great Flame Kingdom, though he could not explain their presence there.

• Duke Falla considered the Undying Monarch’s demand that he send marquises to war and weighed the risks of choosing a side.
• Duke Falla reviewed an intelligence report that a medium-sized Black Tiger Race tribe on Crimson Planet had conquered several large tribes.
• Duke Falla wondered whether the tribe’s unknown allies were Human, then suspected Yi Chen and the Great Flame Kingdom might be involved.
• Duke Falla dismissed that explanation as implausible but could think of no other mysterious race in the Heavenly Spirit Star System.

Duke Falla sent Marquis Moses to investigate the Black Tiger Race and the unknown Human Race, while Yi Chen went to Radiant Moon Planet to intercept Moses. Moses delayed the mission out of resentment toward Falla, then discovered that the person waiting for him was Yi Chen.

• A Shadow General secretly reported Falla's orders to the Intelligence Organization and returned to monitor him.
• Yi Chen changed his plans and traveled to Radiant Moon Planet after learning about Marquis Moses, intending to intercept him.
• Marquis Moses delayed his departure for several days because he resented Duke Falla's indecision and the losses to his territory and resources.
• Marquis Moses encountered Yi Chen's palace-shaped Flying Magic Treasure outside Radiant Moon Planet and approached it to investigate.
• Yi Chen revealed himself, and Marquis Moses recognized him as a Human Race powerhouse who might be Yi Chen; Moses felt a surge of joy.

Yi Chen confronted Marquis Moses and tried to force the Undying Race noble to become an inside agent. Marquis Moses fled after Yi Chen’s attacks overwhelmed him, but Yi Chen prepared to catch him with his treasures.

• Marquis Moses recognized Yi Chen and considered capturing him to gain a major political advantage for the Undying Race.
• Yi Chen revealed that he intended to make Marquis Moses an inside agent, then attacked him with the Immortal Sword.
• Marquis Moses blocked the sword with his fleshy membrane, but Yi Chen’s attacks wounded him and forced him to retreat.

• Yi Chen watched Marquis Moses escape, then took out the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram and Immortal Binding Rope to end the battle.

After breaking through to the seventh level of the Primal Immortal Stage, Yi Chen sent Marquis Moses to seek Immortal Grade Materials while they traveled toward Fragrant Star Planet.

• Yi Chen searched Marquis Moses's memories and bound his Essence Blood, making Marquis Moses acknowledge him as Master.

• Yi Chen ordered Marquis Moses to ask the other marquises about Immortal Grade Materials and head to Fragrant Star Planet, then followed in his Flying Magic Treasure.

Yi Chen sent Marquis Moses to Fragrant Star Planet to buy rare low-grade Immortal Minerals at a hundred times their market price. Marquis Moses placed his fortune as a deposit with the Famous Fragrance Trading Company, while Yi Chen supplied him with far greater resources for future trades; Duke Falla learned of the deal and was positioned to take part.

• Yi Chen ordered Marquis Moses to buy materials through the Famous Fragrance Trading Company despite the risk of attracting Duke Falla's attention.
• Marquis Moses gave the company’s person in charge a material list and his entire fortune as an advance deposit for the ten-day collection.
• Yi Chen gave Marquis Moses a Space Stone filled with resources worth more than a hundred times his fortune to use in trades with other marquises.
• The person in charge contacted Duke Falla and reported Marquis Moses's unusual purchase and the hundredfold premium.

Marquis Moses and the Famous Fragrance Trading Company bought rare Immortal Minerals for Yi Chen, but they still could not gather all the materials needed for the third-generation Blessed Grotto Heaven. Yi Chen took Marquis Moses to the Undying Star System to continue the search, and they arrived on Undying Star without being detected.

• Duke Falla accepted Marquis Moses's material purchases as a private arrangement and sent the Space Stone to the Famous Fragrance Trading Company for a hundredfold profit.

• Marquis Moses paid to enter a Space Crack, while Yi Chen's concealed Flying Magic Treasure passed through undetected and avoided the area where the Undying Monarch cultivated.

Yi Chen secretly built a Teleportation Array beneath a volcano, then returned to Undying Star and began robbing powerful residents for rare resources. He killed Marquis Nisi and left Marquis Moses terrified and pleading for mercy.

• Yi Chen carved a hidden Mountain Cave beneath a volcano, installed a Defense Array and Teleportation Array, and traveled to the Crimson Planet before returning to Undying Star.
• Yi Chen brought Marquis Moses along and decided to rob experts below Level 140 for materials rather than buy them at inflated prices.
• Yi Chen infiltrated Marquis Nisi’s Forbidden Restriction while he cultivated in a Blood Pool and captured him with the Immortal Binding Rope.
• Yi Chen burned Marquis Nisi and his Essence Blood to ash, leaving behind a Space Stone.
• Marquis Moses knelt and begged Yi Chen to forgive him.

Yi Chen looted Marquis Nisi’s Treasure Vault, then sought out a level 138 Ten Thousand Hands Race expert to test his combat ability. The expert mistook him for the Human Race’s Supreme Expert and attacked, leaving Yi Chen facing a barrage of tentacles.

• Yi Chen gave Marquis Moses Marquis Nisi’s Space Stone and used the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram to empty the Treasure Vault’s Immortal-Grade Materials.
• Yi Chen located a nearby Ten Thousand Hands Race expert and decided to fight him head-on for combat experience.
• Yi Chen ordered Marquis Moses to monitor the surroundings and deal with any Undying Race investigators.
• The Ten Thousand Hands Race expert noticed Yi Chen’s powerful aura, suspected he was the Human Race Supreme Expert, and moved to intercept him.
• The Ten Thousand Hands Race expert attacked without warning, extending more than twenty tentacles toward Yi Chen.

Yi Chen fought a Ten Thousand Hands Race expert whose tentacles could endlessly regenerate, and the two reached a stalemate. The opponent used a Top Grade Immortal Fruit to boost his strength and drove Yi Chen back with a huge Tentacle Net.

• Yi Chen blocked the expert’s tentacles with the Heaven Severing Art, then dodged around them and cut through the tentacles with stronger Sword Qi.

• The expert took a blue fruit from his Space Stone, ate it, and greatly increased his speed, defense, and attack.
• The expert formed hundreds of tentacles into a Tentacle Net that Yi Chen could not cut through, forcing Yi Chen to retreat as the net closed in.

Yi Chen used his teleportation technique and hidden treasures to overcome the Ten Thousand Hands Race expert's enhanced strength. He killed the expert inside the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram and took his Space Stone.

• The Ten Thousand Hands Race expert realized Yi Chen had teleported behind him, but chose to keep fighting rather than flee.
• Yi Chen used teleportation to evade the expert's attacks, then decided he needed the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram and Immortal Binding Rope to defeat him.
• Yi Chen slowed the expert, deployed the diagram and rope, and used a Fire Sea to trap him as he tried to escape.
• The Immortal Binding Rope sealed the expert's energy, allowing the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram to suck him inside.
• Yi Chen burned the Ten Thousand Hands Race expert to ash, retrieved his Space Stone, and judged that his full strength could make him invincible below Level 140.

Yi Chen used the Flying Magic Treasure to assassinate experts across Undying Star and gather materials for the Third Generation "Blessed Grotto Heaven." The Undying Monarch learned of the killings and thefts, but could not identify the culprit.

• A guard reported that a mysterious expert had assassinated several hundred people and stolen resources on Undying Star.
• The Undying Monarch blamed Grand Duke Bo Lai at first, but the guard explained that victims included experts from many races, leaving the monarch baffled.

The Undying Monarch mistook Yi Chen for the Soul Emperor of the Soul Race and hoped to ally with him against Grand Duke Bo Lai. Yi Chen continued hunting on Undying Star until the Monarch sent him a trove of resources and a means of contact, leaving Yi Chen surprised by the apparent protection payment.

• The Undying Monarch concluded that the mysterious killer was the Soul Emperor and decided that an alliance could help him defeat Grand Duke Bo Lai.
• Yi Chen kept killing and collecting resources while ignoring the Monarch’s attempts to communicate through perception.
• The Undying Monarch, fearing the Soul Emperor might turn him into a host, sent a Communication Stone and a huge cache of resources toward Yi Chen.
• Yi Chen inspected the Space Stones, found no apparent trap, and discovered a mountain of valuable immortal materials and minerals inside.

Yi Chen accepted the Undying Monarch’s resources as protection money, then learned the materials for the Third Generation "Blessed Grotto Heaven" were complete. He chose Marquis Moses as a nominal Undying Race ruler for the Great Flame Empire’s future conquest and sent him away to await further orders.

• Yi Chen decided the Undying Monarch had mistaken him for the Soul Emperor and wanted his help against Grand Duke Bo Lai, so he destroyed the Communication Stone and kept the gifts.
• Yi Chen stopped plundering and traveled to Crimson Planet, where Marquis Moses tallied the resources and confirmed every required material had been gathered in excess.
• Yi Chen rewarded Marquis Moses with materials worth far more than his fortune and instructed him to organize the rest.
• Yi Chen proposed cultivating an Undying Race member as a nominal ruler during a future conquest, and Marquis Moses volunteered for the role.
• Yi Chen gave Marquis Moses a Communication Stone and sent him back toward Radiant Moon Planet to await further instructions.

• Yi Chen created the Third Generation Blessed Grotto Heaven and resumed cultivating while monitoring the Expeditionary Force.
• The Expeditionary Force defeated the remaining large tribes and suppressed the smaller ones, unifying Crimson Planet.

• The Swiftfoot Great Emperor summoned eighty-two Princes, and they argued over whether to attack the Nika Tribe despite the risks of facing its pirate group and army.
• A Prince suggested attacking Black Tiger Race planets other than Crimson Planet.

The Swiftfoot Race approved a plan to attack Black Tiger Race planets and kill its experts, proposing an alliance with the Spirit Heart Race to counter the Black Tiger Pirate Group. Meanwhile, the chapter revealed that the Great Flame Empire—not the Nika Tribe—had conquered the Crimson Planet and was poised to expand across the Heavenly Spirit Star System.

• The Swiftfoot Dukes proposed attacking Black Tiger Race planets to eliminate their experts before the Nika Tribe could unite the race.
• The Dukes argued that the Swiftfoot Race's faster ships would let them defeat Black Tiger forces piecemeal and raid the Crimson Planet if needed.
• A Duke proposed an alliance with the Spirit Heart Race, offering it the plunder from Black Tiger tribes in exchange for help tracking the Black Tiger Pirate Group.
• The Dukes agreed to the alliance plan, and the Swiftfoot Great Emperor confirmed it as they began discussing its details.
• The chapter revealed that the Great Flame Empire had conquered the Crimson Planet while using Chief Nika as a public shield.
• The chapter explained that the Great Flame Empire could transport armies over long distances and was growing stronger, making it a greater threat to the Heavenly Spirit Star System than the Undying Race.

Yi Chen considered how to respond to a potential Swiftfoot Race and Spirit Heart Race attack on the Black Tiger Race, then summoned Zhan Cheng to assess his military judgment. Impressed by Zhan Cheng’s forward-looking strategy, Yi Chen began preparing to give him an opportunity to rise toward becoming the Great Flame Empire’s marshal.

• The General Political Department asked Yi Chen whether to let the Swiftfoot Race attack the Black Tiger Race, but Yi Chen dismissed the decision as unimportant to his plans.
• Yi Chen decided the Great Flame Empire needed an independent, capable marshal and identified Zhan Cheng as his preferred candidate.
• Yi Chen had Bai Ruoxin summon Zhan Cheng from the Third Generation Blessed Grotto Heaven, where Zhan Cheng had reached the Spirit Enlightenment Stage.
• Yi Chen showed Zhan Cheng intelligence about a possible Swiftfoot Race and Spirit Heart Race alliance and asked what the military should do.
• Zhan Cheng proposed using elite troops to harass the allied armies, capture their experts, and later use them to help conquer the surrounding races and Black Tiger Race planets.

Yi Chen appointed Zhan Cheng to command an elite force against the Swiftfoot and Spirit Heart Races, despite Zhan Cheng’s low rank and the political risks on Crimson Planet. The order stirred resentment among the Black Tiger Race and speculation across the empire about Yi Chen’s plans for Zhan Cheng and the Holy Water Sect.

• Zhan Cheng proposed a large joint force for the mission, then eagerly volunteered to lead it with only his brigade if Yi Chen lent him powerful treasures.
• Yi Chen ordered Bai Ruoxin to revise the plans and appointed Zhan Cheng overall commander of an elite force, with Chieftain Jin Jun as deputy and support from Human, Black Tiger, and Demon forces.
• The Black Tiger Race erupted in anger that a Human Brigade Leader would command the operation while its own powerful leaders served under him.
• The Human side also questioned Yi Chen’s decision, believing a more senior commander would better preserve stability on Crimson Planet.
• Officials and citizens speculated that Yi Chen intended either to promote Zhan Cheng for his abilities or to use him to test and eventually suppress the Holy Water Sect.
