After the Great Flame Empire’s forces entered the Supercluster, Yi Chen chose the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster as their first target and established a foothold there. The Expeditionary Force captured a Life Planet controlled by the Heart-Slaying Clan and prepared to advance while Yi Chen returned to cultivation.

• After advancing to level 225, Yi Chen learned from Bai Ruoxin that the Great Flame Empire’s soldiers and the Various Races were ready to invade the Supercluster, and he ordered the military to prepare for deployment.
• Yi Chen chose the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster as the Great Flame Empire’s starting point and traveled there by Large Warship.
• Yi Chen established a Teleportation Array on a Life Planet, and Bai Ruoxin arranged for Zhan Cheng to bring the Expeditionary Force through it.
• The Expeditionary Force defeated the Heart-Slaying Clan garrison and took control of the Life Planet within hours.
• Zhan Cheng assembled nearly ten billion troops aboard Large Warships and sent them toward the Heart-Slaying Clan’s home planet as more forces and Great Flame Empire citizens arrived.
• Yi Chen left the campaign to the military and resumed cultivating.

The Heart-Shattering Race's leader and elders tried to understand the sudden invasion of Tai Ke Planet, then learned that a ten-billion-strong army had appeared near their lair. The Fifth Elder proposed that defeating the invaders could let them acquire their long-distance troop-transport ability and use it to benefit the Time Race and the Reincarnation Race.

• The Heart-Shattering Race's leader and elders debated the invaders' unknown origins, strange tactics, and unexpectedly low average strength.
• A guard reported that an army of unknown races had appeared in outer space, numbering as many as ten billion with average realms ranging from around Level 100 to level 160-170.
• The Heart-Slaying Clan Leader and the elders recognized that the invasion resembled the Earth Tree Race's mass troop-transport methods, despite the invaders' weaker forces.
• The Fifth Elder argued that the Heart-Shattering Race could defeat the invaders and obtain their transport ability because its own forces were stronger and more numerous.
• An elder questioned the value of the ability, and the Fifth Elder suggested it would be useful to the Time Race and the Reincarnation Race.

The Zhanxin Race prepared to defend against the invading army while considering the possibility of a powerful assassination team, and the Fifth Elder urged them to capture invaders alive to seize their troop-transport ability. As the Hundred Billion Army reached the Zhan Xin Race's lair, the Expeditionary Force's Shadow Race-led Assassination Team set out.

• The Fifth Elder of the Heart-Shattering Race advised the Zhanxin Race to defeat and capture the invaders, learn their origins, and take their large-scale troop-transport ability.
• The Fifth Elder warned the Heart-Slaying Clan Leader and elders that the invaders might have hired powerful assassins, so they planned to hide their leaders, mobilize their armies, and hire stronger experts.
• The Zhanxin Race urgently mobilized its forces while the Expeditionary Force assembled the Hundred Billion Army, led mainly by Shadow Race and Human soldiers.
• The Hundred Billion Army advanced east of the Zhan Xin Race's lair and arrived in just over an hour without facing interception.
• The Expeditionary Force sent out an Assassination Team built around two level 220 Shadow Kings, whose stealth and ability to pass through Defense Restrictions let them infiltrate enemy defenses undetected.

The Great Flame Empire’s Assassination Team infiltrated the Zhanxin Race’s defenses and waited for the Human Army to pressure the enemy into surrender. Gu Li’s Human Army then destroyed the Zhanxin Race’s defensive towers from five hundred kilometers away, leaving the defenders stunned as the attack swept toward them.

• The Assassination Team split into groups and infiltrated the Zhanxin Race’s lair, locating its leaders and waiting for the order to strike.
• The Zhanxin Race’s soldiers prepared to repel the approaching Expeditionary Force, believing their Elite Army and defensive towers gave them the advantage.
• Gu Li ordered the twenty-million-strong Human Army to attack with Fire Spells while it was still five hundred kilometers from the defenses.
• The Human soldiers’ Fire Sea and Fire Dragons destroyed the Zhanxin Race’s defensive towers, then swept toward its stunned troops.

The Human Army routed the Zhanxin Race’s vastly larger Elite Army with devastating long-range attacks, then advanced into the race’s nest. Marys and the other infiltrators confronted the Heart-Slaying Clan Leader and Elders, leaving them to choose between surrender and annihilation.

• Gu Li ordered the Human Army to unleash its ranged attacks, killing more than half of the Zhanxin Race Elite Army before pausing the assault.
• Marshal Zhan Cheng sent the Various Races’ armies through the breach and told the assassination team to act once the Zhanxin Race’s leaders learned of the defeat.
• The Heart-Slaying Clan Leader and Elders received reports of the First Defense Line’s collapse and realized the invading army far exceeded their expectations.
• As the Heart-Slaying Clan Leader tried to open a space crack to escape, Marys, a Violent Gold Race powerhouse, and the Shadow Kings and Shadow Commanders appeared inside the secret chamber.
• Marys gave the Heart-Slaying Clan Leader and Elders three minutes to choose between surrendering their entire clan and its annihilation.

The Great Flame Empire conquered the Heart-Slaying Clan, which accepted surrender and began integrating into the empire. Meanwhile, Earth Tree Race agents found the Great Flame Empire had abandoned its Crimson Planet base and set out to locate its new hiding place and Yi Chen.

• Marys presented the Heart-Slaying Clan leaders with a surrender contract, and the clan accepted it.
• Marshal Zhan Cheng sent Shadow Race forces and soldiers from various races to take over the Heart-Slaying Clan, while Great Flame Empire soldiers entered the Fifth Generation Blessed Grotto Heaven to cultivate.
• News of the Heart-Slaying Clan's surrender spread through the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster.
• Mox, Darnell, and other vassal-race experts reached the Crimson Planet but found that the Great Flame Empire had migrated away half a month earlier.
• Mox told Gallid that they had not found Yi Chen, and Gallid ordered the team to discover where the Great Flame Empire had moved.

Yi Chen arrived on the Crimson Planet and secretly drained the luck of Mox, Darnell, and the search team while their experts discovered that the Great Flame Empire had moved to the Supercluster. Mox contacted Gallid to ask what to do, as Yi Chen continued targeting the remaining searchers.

• Mox and Darnell ordered their search team to collect Great Flame Empire citizens’ energy auras and trace their coordinates.
• Yi Chen used a hidden Teleportation Array to reach the Crimson Planet and began draining Mox’s luck with the Luck Incantation.
• A level 220 powerhouse traced several Great Flame Empire citizens to the Supercluster, while level 210 powerhouses could not detect their targets.
• Darnell and Mox concluded that the Great Flame Empire had likely moved to the Supercluster and decided to contact Gallid for instructions.
• Yi Chen finished draining Darnell’s luck and began draining the level 220 experts’ Luck Energy.

Yi Chen ambushed the Earth Tree Race search team and used his overwhelming strength to wipe out its experts. After collecting their Space Stones, he returned to the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster to continue cultivating.

• Gallid ordered Mox and Darnell to confirm whether Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire had migrated to the Supercluster and to gather energy auras from its citizens.
• Mox sent his subordinates to collect more energy auras while Yi Chen finished draining the last level 210 expert's Luck Energy.
• Yi Chen appeared behind Mox, slowed his time with the Supreme Treasure, and killed him with repeated sword strikes.
• Yi Chen attacked Darnell and killed him before the other experts could respond.
• The remaining experts fled in different directions, but Yi Chen teleported after them and killed more than a hundred in one minute.
• Yi Chen collected the experts' Space Stones, returned through the Teleportation Array to the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster, and continued cultivating.

After Gallid discovered that Mox, Darnell, and the experts sent to the Crimson Planet had been killed, the Human Federation’s leaders realized Yi Chen and the Great Flame Empire had reached the Supercluster. They concluded that Yi Chen had likely orchestrated the Earth Tree Race’s past setbacks and had personally grown powerful enough to kill Level 230 experts.

• Gallid failed to reach Mox, Darnell, or the other experts, then had the Human Federation contact the two Large Warships sent to the Local Galaxy Cluster.
• The Large Warships reported that Mox, Darnell, and the entire expert team had been killed on the Crimson Planet, leaving Gallid and the Federation’s leaders alarmed.
• The Federal Parliament and Military learned that Yi Chen had brought the Great Flame Empire to the Supercluster and could kill Level 230 experts.
• The Federation’s leaders reconsidered the Earth Tree Race’s previous failures in the Local Galaxy Cluster and suspected Yi Chen had arranged the setbacks to buy time.
• Lu Qingxian and the other leaders concluded that Yi Chen had likely killed the experts himself after developing extraordinary strength over the past two decades.

The Great Flame Empire rejected the Human Federation’s offer of loyalty and prepared to conquer it, while Yi Chen grew stronger after the empire’s victory over the Zhan Xin Race. The empire launched its second expansion against three minor races, and its forces and assassins moved to capture the Leaf Lion Race’s leaders.

• Lu Qingxian proposed that the Human Federation pledge loyalty to Yi Chen, but Yi Chen told the Revival Army that the Federation would have to wait to be conquered.
• After the Great Flame Empire conquered the Zhan Xin Race, Yi Chen reached Level 226 in a little over three months.

• The Leaf Lion Race gathered its leaders and elders on Karl Planet after learning that the Great Flame Empire’s force had appeared in orbit.
• Zhan Cheng ordered Marys to capture the Leaf Lion Race’s leader and elders, and a Shadow King brought her to the leaders’ hiding place.

Marys and Shadow King infiltrated the Ye Shi Clan’s Defense Restriction and captured the Ye Shi Clan Leader and more than thirty elders. After they woke inside a spatial treasure, Marys asked them to surrender, but they resisted despite recognizing that the Great Flame Empire’s invasion left them few alternatives.

• Marys and Shadow King entered the Ye Shi Clan’s Defense Restriction while the Ye Shi Clan Leader and elders discussed their plans.
• Marys knocked the Ye Shi Clan Leader unconscious and quickly incapacitated the other elders as Shadow King guarded against escape.
• Marys put the captives in a spatial treasure, gave them healing materials, and reported the capture to Zhan Cheng.
• The Ye Shi Clan Leader and elders woke, realized they were trapped, and identified Marys and Shadow King outside the treasure.
• Marys offered the elders a chance to surrender the entire clan and warned that delaying would lower their rank among conquered races.
• The Ye Shi Clan Leader and elders remained unwilling to surrender, despite believing the Great Flame Empire was connected to the Earth Tree Race.

Marys exposed the Great Flame Empire Army’s complete knowledge of the Ye Shi Clan’s plans, then watched as the Human Army annihilated a million-strong Ye Shi Clan assault team from long range. The Ye Shi Clan Leader responded by ordering a multi-front attack on the Human Army.

• Marys revealed that the Great Flame Empire knew the Ye Shi Clan’s secret meeting and troop deployments, and urged the Ye Shi Clan Leader and elders to arrange their forces for battle.
• After the Great Flame Empire Army assembled, the Ye Shi Clan Leader sent a million Elite Army troops to crush the seven-million-strong Vanguard Army led by Tai Shi.
• Tai Shi ordered the Human Army to unleash Fire Sea and fire dragons, wiping out the Ye Shi Clan assault team before it could close within three hundred kilometers.
• The Ye Shi Clan Leader rejected an assault by a small group of high-ranking fighters and ordered the armies hidden around Karl Planet to attack from multiple fronts.

Tai Shi's Human Army used long-range teleportation and overwhelming firepower to force the Ye Shi Clan to surrender to the Great Flame Empire. After two more races also surrendered, the Golden Cloud Interstellar Era began to doubt that the Great Flame Empire was a vassal of the Earth Tree Race.

• Tai Shi held the Human Army in place until the Leaf Lion Race's elite forces attacked from the ground and the sky.
• Tai Shi ordered the Human Army to teleport above the Leaf Lion Race Old Nest and bombard its armies and defenses from more than ten thousand kilometers away.
• The Ye Shi Clan Leader surrendered the entire clan, and Marys arranged a contract that the Ye Shi Clan Leader and Elders signed.
• The Human Army stopped attacking and teleported back after Zhan Cheng relayed the surrender to Tai Shi.
• Two other races attacked by the Great Flame Empire also surrendered, shocking the Golden Cloud Interstellar Era's races.
• The races began to believe the Great Flame Empire was not a vassal of the Earth Tree Race because its troop transport and assassin capabilities surpassed theirs.

The Time Race learned that the Great Flame Empire could transport troops across vast distances and infiltrate Defense Restrictions, and moved to seize control of it. The Time Race army assembled rapidly and began rushing toward the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster.

• The Time Race Fifth Elder told the Time Race Tribal Chief that the Great Flame Empire was conquering nearby small races and possessed extraordinary troop-transport abilities.
• The Time Race Tribal Chief ordered the Fifth Elder to notify the Second Elder while he contacted the Grand Elder, deciding not to coordinate with the Reincarnation Race.
• The Time Race Grand Elder and Second Elder mobilized their forces, and the Grand Elder assembled more than ten thousand experts and ten million elites within hours.
• The Time Race Grand Elder opened a vast Space Crack and led the army out, while ten Time Race elders took turns opening more cracks to speed its journey to the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster.

The Earth Tree Race Clan Leader learned that Yi Chen’s Great Flame Empire could transport troops across vast distances and ordered two senior elders to confront it. The Human Federation debated warning Yi Chen but waited until the Earth Tree Race’s warships had already departed, leaving little time to act.

• The Earth Tree Race Clan Leader learned that the Great Flame Empire likely belonged to Yi Chen and ordered the Grand Elder and Third Elder to bring Top-Grade Treasures to the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster.
• Council President Lu Qingxian and the Human Federation Executives weighed warning Yi Chen against waiting, fearing both the Earth Tree Race and the other hegemon races.
• A high-ranking Military official argued that Yi Chen would not expand into the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster without confidence in his strength and hidden resources.
• The Human Federation received word that the Large Warships had departed and realized the Earth Tree Race’s rotating spatial jumps would bring them to the cluster within three or four hours.

Yi Chen lured the Reincarnation Race’s elder team and Elite Army into a sealed star system, then used a formation and a Time Law Supreme Treasure to ambush them. He left the Reincarnation Race Grand Elder bound and unable to resist.

• Yi Chen evacuated the Human Race and Shadow Race from the Golden Cloud Galaxy Cluster after learning the Time Race planned to send an elder team and Elite Army.
• The Reincarnation Race’s elder team and Elite Army arrived first, bringing thirty-two level 240 elders and twenty million elite soldiers.
• Yi Chen activated a massive formation that sealed the star system and distorted the Reincarnation Race’s perception, throwing its soldiers into chaos.
• Yi Chen appeared before the Reincarnation Race Grand Elder and used the Time Law Supreme Treasure to disrupt him as the Shadow Emperor and the others attacked from behind.
• Yi Chen’s Sword Qi destroyed the Grand Elder’s defenses and left him gravely wounded, and Yi Chen bound him with the Immortal Binding Rope.

Yi Chen and the Shadow Emperor’s team ambushed and captured the Reincarnation Race’s strongest fighters, while Yi Chen trapped its twenty million elite troops in the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram. After shutting down the array and recovering his strength, Yi Chen prepared for the next enemy force to arrive.

• Yi Chen attacked the Reincarnation Race Grand Elder as the Shadow Emperor, Poseis, and Titanbo ambushed another elder inside Yi Chen’s Formation and captured him.
• Yi Chen used the Time Law and Sword Qi to subdue the Fourth Elder, then captured more Reincarnation Race elders and fighters as the Shadow Emperor’s team took them down.
• The Shadow Emperor, Poseis, and Titanbo returned to Yi Chen’s Flying Magic Treasure with fourteen more elders, thirty level 230 fighters, and one hundred and seventy level 220 fighters captured.
• Yi Chen used the Mountains and Rivers State Diagram to draw in all twenty million Reincarnation Race elite troops and attack them with its Five Elements Array.
• Yi Chen gathered the captured fighters with the Immortal Binding Rope, shut down the array after one-tenth of the troops had died, and swallowed an Immortal Pill to recover before the next force arrived.

The Earth Tree Race Elder team arrived at the Golden Cloud Interstellar Era and was trapped by Yi Chen’s array, leaving its members unable to sense one another. Yi Chen captured the Grand Elder, Third Elder, and many other experts, while more than half the force was taken into the Flying Magic Treasure.

• The Earth Tree Race Grand Elder and Third Elder arrived with an Elite Army of more than twenty million and tried to locate the Great Flame Empire.
