Chapter Summaries

Li Qingsong confirmed that the Purple Moon Civilization was operating near Piscis Austrinus H11 and continued his fleet’s approach despite a warning from a civilization calling itself Rovik. Probes revealed the fleet and industrial scale of the Purple Moon Civilization, leaving Li Qingsong certain of its identity and wary of its overwhelming strength.

• Li Qingsong detected an artificial change in Piscis Austrinus H11’s brightness and concluded that the Purple Moon Civilization had deployed a fleet close to the star.
• Li Qingsong accelerated his industrial preparations, then began decelerating his fleet roughly three light-years from the star system.
• The Rovik Civilization sent a message asking Li Qingsong’s fleet to leave, but Li Qingsong did not reply and continued his approach.
• Li Qingsong’s probes observed huge fleets, industrial construction, and transport traffic around the system’s five large planets.
• Li Qingsong compared the ships’ characteristics with intelligence from the Havilah Civilization and the Cloud Luo Civilization and confirmed that the fleet belonged to the Purple Moon Civilization.

Li Qingsong tried to negotiate for the human captives held by the Purple Moon Civilization, but they refused, and he declared war. The two civilizations began covert reconnaissance and sabotage, while Li Qingsong’s fleet anchored near a dwarf planet in the star system.

• Li Qingsong identified his civilization as the Lantu Ke Civilization and offered unique technologies in exchange for the human captives.
• The Purple Moon Civilization admitted it held the captives but refused to trade them, claiming they were highly valuable.
• Li Qingsong concluded the captives were connected to Human Civilization’s disappearance and decided to obtain them by force if necessary.
• The Purple Moon Civilization and Li Qingsong’s fleet launched probes and engaged in covert espionage and sabotage.
• Li Qingsong’s fleet anchored beside a dwarf planet as both sides monitored the star system with billions of probes and spy satellites.

Li Qingsong completed his supply lines and launched a massive attack on Planet Five, beginning a decisive war against the Purple Moon Civilization. Yuanshi AI initially overwhelmed the enemy’s unmanned defenses, but the Purple Moon Civilization’s manned fleet turned the battle into a brutal, full-scale clash.

• Li Qingsong expanded his supply and transport network across nearby Dwarf Planets while the Purple Moon Civilization harassed his supply lines.
• Li Qingsong prepared 700,000 warships and accompanying forces to seize a Major Planet, choosing Planet Five as his target.
• The Purple Moon Civilization concentrated 700,000 warships around Planet Five, matching Li Qingsong’s fleet in scale.
• Yuanshi AI coordinated Li Qingsong’s unmanned forces and destroyed tens of thousands of Purple Moon Civilization combat facilities, nearly breaking through its defenses.
• The Purple Moon Civilization sent its manned warships into battle and suppressed Li Qingsong’s unmanned forces.
• Li Qingsong’s manned fleet joined the fighting, and millions of ships from both civilizations clashed around Planet Five.

Li Qingsong withdrew after failing to take Planet Five and losing more warships than Purple Moon Civilization. He continued the war across the star system for over a decade, testing the enemy’s defenses until he noticed a possible opening.

• Li Qingsong’s fleet was suppressed by Purple Moon Civilization, and he decided that neither conventional attacks nor the Unified Force Field could secure Planet Five quickly enough.
• Li Qingsong retreated after losing seventy thousand warships, while Purple Moon Civilization lost forty thousand and retained control of Planet Five.
• Li Qingsong resolved to persist and sent a million-warship fleet back into the star system to fight across its planets and space routes.
• Over more than a decade, Li Qingsong fought hundreds of thousands of battles, suffering more defeats than victories as he probed Purple Moon Civilization’s defenses.
• Li Qingsong noticed something amid the prolonged conflict and smiled faintly.

Li Qingsong exploited the Purple Moon Civilization’s staged internal conflict to capture Planet One, then thwarted its plan to use Electromagnetic Life to trigger a Stellar Storm. The Purple Moon Civilization launched attacks to retake the planet or destroy his forces near the star, while Li Qingsong prepared to answer with his still-hidden industrial strength.

• Li Qingsong recognized the signs of a manufactured weakness around Planet One but played along, using the Purple Moon Civilization’s apparent disunity to capture it.
• The Purple Moon Civilization’s leaders revealed that they had engineered Planet One’s fall to lure Li Qingsong’s main fleet into range of the Herding Electric Fleet and its planned Stellar Storm.
• Li Qingsong’s main fleet reached Planet One, and his forces began constructing industrial facilities while the Purple Moon Civilization prepared to activate its Electric Slaves.
• The Purple Moon Civilization’s attempt to trigger the Stellar Storm failed when Li Qingsong’s Electromagnetic Life disrupted its Electric Slaves, and his fleet attacked the Herding Electric Fleet.
• The Purple Moon Civilization sent forces to retake Planet One or destroy Li Qingsong’s stellar fleet, but Li Qingsong remained confident in his industrial strength.

Li Qingsong completed Planet One’s Industrial System, stabilized its defenses, and tried to negotiate for the human captives, but the Purple Moon Civilization refused to release them. Decades later, he used the Unified Force Field to destroy 550,000 enemy warships, buying time as the war resumed and both sides prepared for another stalemate.

• Yuanshi AI used Planet One’s factories and construction sites to rapidly complete the Industrial System, letting Li Qingsong flood space with warships and other defenses.
• Li Qingsong stabilized Planet One’s defensive line and reinforced Electric Calamity, then offered to end hostilities in exchange for the human captives.
• The Purple Moon Civilization demanded technology and AI data in return, and negotiations broke down without the captives being released.
• Li Qingsong chose to hold his ground and endure a prolonged war while the Purple Moon Civilization mobilized more forces.
• After several decades, the Purple Moon Civilization’s intensified offensive threatened Li Qingsong’s defenses, so he activated the Unified Force Field using ten billion clones.
• The Unified Force Field destroyed 550,000 Purple Moon Civilization warships, but the enemy fleet recovered and the war resumed.

After Cloud Luo Civilization intervened, Li Qingsong and Purple Moon Civilization agreed to negotiations over the human captives and the ongoing war. The sides arranged a guarded transfer of roughly two million captives, while Purple Moon Civilization’s fleet prepared to leave the star system.

• Li Qingsong and Purple Moon Civilization paused their military buildup when they detected Cloud Luo Civilization’s fleet arriving in the galaxy.
• Cloud Luo Civilization offered to mediate, and Purple Moon Civilization agreed to negotiate rather than risk being branded malicious and facing Alliance intervention.
• At the virtual meeting, Li Qingsong demanded the human captives, while Purple Moon Civilization accused Lantu Ke Civilization of starting the war and demanded compensation.
• Wei Luo challenged Purple Moon Civilization over its treatment of the captives, and it agreed to transfer them while Lantu Ke waived compensation claims.
• Purple Moon Civilization demanded that its fleet and a Residential Spaceship carrying the captives travel in opposite directions until both were three light-years from the star system; Li Qingsong and Wei Luo accepted the plan.
• After the meeting, Li Qingsong thanked Wei Luo for sending the Yunluo Fleet and called Cloud Luo Civilization a true friend of Lantu Ke Civilization.

Li Qingsong pursued and safely recovered more than two million humans held aboard Purple Moon Civilization’s Residential Spaceship, then welcomed them home to carefully prepared habitats. After Cloud Luo Civilization departed, the rescued humans began medical examinations and resettlement while Li Qingsong let them rest before seeking information.

• Purple Moon Civilization tried to salvage its battlefield wreckage, but Li Qingsong blocked its fleet and Cloud Luo Civilization ruled that it could not approach within one hundred million kilometers of the star.
• Purple Moon Civilization’s main fleet and a Residential Spaceship carrying human captives departed, and Li Qingsong later pursued the Residential Spaceship with Cloud Luo Civilization’s help.
• During the voyage, Li Qingsong prepared five spacious Residential Spaceships and populated them with specialized clones to create a functioning human society for the returning captives.
• Li Qingsong’s robots inspected the crude Residential Spaceship and confirmed that its more than two million human occupants were alive but in poor health and living conditions.
• After the handover succeeded, Wei Luo and Cloud Luo Civilization departed, and Li Qingsong told the humans that he had come to bring them home.
• Li Qingsong transferred the rescued humans to the prepared ships, arranged medical examinations and comfortable homes, and let them recover before questioning them.

Li Qingsong learned that the human captives had endured horrific abuse in the Purple Moon Civilization, then discovered that all more than two million people he had rescued were fully infected by Demon Eyes. After destroying their residential ships, he resumed his pursuit of the Purple Moon Civilization, determined to kill them all.

• Li Qingsong gathered accounts of the captives’ lives and learned that the Purple Moon Civilization had imprisoned, tortured, and forcibly bred them.
• Li Qingsong used the survivors’ memories to estimate that the Purple Moon Civilization had abducted over a million humans from Earth between 2000 and 2100, deepening his questions about humanity’s disappearance.
• A clone named Dan Dan appeared to develop independent consciousness, so Li Qingsong created ten thousand Demon Eyes by exposing clones to the Evil Eye Galaxy and developed a blood test for infection.
• Li Qingsong tested more than two million biological samples and found that every human he had rescued was fully infected by Demon Eyes.
• Li Qingsong detonated twenty hydrogen bombs, destroying the six residential spaceships and all the infected captives aboard them.
• Li Qingsong returned to the Piscis Austrinus H11 Star System, completed the salvage work, and sent his fleet after the Purple Moon Civilization.

Li Qingsong pursued the Purple Moon Civilization fleet across interstellar space, using a vast detection network and repeated technological upgrades to keep tracking it despite falling behind. After finding evidence that the Purple Moon fleet had resupplied in a seemingly ordinary star system and had not yet departed, Li Qingsong realized he had finally caught up to them.

• Li Qingsong deployed tens of millions of reconnaissance devices to trace the Purple Moon fleet's faint exhaust trails and followed its shifting course while continuing scientific research.
• Li Qingsong trained hundreds of millions of scientists, upgraded his fleet, and accelerated its speed from 80% to 83% of light speed.
• Li Qingsong detected the Purple Moon fleet's first resupply stop, replenished his own supplies in the same star system, and resumed pursuit after forty years.
• Li Qingsong found another resupply system, narrowed the gap, and completed another comprehensive fleet upgrade that raised his speed to 85% of light speed.
• Li Qingsong detected the Purple Moon fleet near a star system with no visible signs of a completed departure and concluded that the enemy was still there.

Li Qingsong rejected the Purple Moon Civilization’s attempts to negotiate and continued pursuing its fleet, while the Purple Moon leaders chose to flee and sabotage Eridanus 735’s star. Faced with the resulting supply crisis, Li Qingsong split his forces and began preparing to haul a distant asteroid away as provisions.

• Li Qingsong received the Purple Moon Civilization’s offer of compensation and later its offer to surrender the High Priest and 30,000 officials, but he ignored both messages and kept decelerating toward Eridanus 735.
• The Purple Moon Head of State refused to surrender the remaining human captives, approved the final plan, and ordered the fleet to evacuate while a Dwarf Planet was driven into the star.
• Li Qingsong saw the star’s violent reaction and realized that pursuing the departing Purple Moon fleet without resupplying would leave his forces short of supplies.
• Li Qingsong detached a subfleet to enter the star system while his main fleet changed course to pursue the Purple Moon fleet.
• The subfleet reached a distant asteroid and began installing enormous thrusters to move it as supplies, leaving the Purple Moon leaders bewildered.

Li Qingsong pursued the Purple Moon Civilization for decades until its dwindling supplies forced it to send a massive rearguard fleet to delay him. The rearguard and Li Qingsong’s fleet began a fierce battle, which ended with the Purple Moon Fleet launching an all-out assault against his defenses.

• Li Qingsong used Yuanshi AI and engineers from subordinate races to equip a massive asteroid with thrusters, then sent it after his fleet as a source of supplies.
• Li Qingsong followed the Purple Moon Civilization across dozens of light-years, confident that he could track its fleet until it stopped to resupply.
• The Purple Moon Head of State approved the Rearguard Plan, and two million warships and their supporting forces separated from the main fleet, carrying eight hundred million elite personnel.
• Li Qingsong prepared his fleet for combat as the Purple Moon rearguard approached, decelerated, and opened fire; both fleets exchanged attacks at 85% of light speed.
• Li Qingsong’s fleet held a defensive formation while the battle produced a vast wreckage belt, and the Purple Moon Fleet eventually launched a total offensive without regard for supplies or casualties.

Li Qingsong used the Unified Force Field to break the Purple Moon Fleet, then discovered its warriors were Evil Eye Creatures and suspected the civilization had come to support the Demon Eye Alliance. After resupplying at Eridanus 662, he continued preparing to pursue the Purple Moon Fleet and saw signs that the war between the Red Star Alliance and the Demon Eye Alliance had begun.

• Li Qingsong recognized that the Purple Moon Fleet was forcing him to choose between using the Unified Force Field and suffering devastating losses, so he activated it and destroyed more than ninety-five percent of the enemy ships.
• Li Qingsong captured several thousand warships and more than ninety non-combat ships, but found that all the Purple Moon Warriors aboard had killed themselves.
• Li Qingsong discovered an Evil Eye image enshrined in a Purple Moon church and confirmed that the warriors' remains carried Evil Eye markers, then abandoned his plans to honor them and ordered their bodies used as fertilizer.
• Li Qingsong reasoned that the Purple Moon Civilization was heading to join the Demon Eye Alliance and might hand its human captives to a Space-grade Magic Eye, strengthening his resolve to rescue them and destroy the Purple Moon Civilization.
• Li Qingsong brought his fleet to Eridanus 662 to resupply and build up resources while tracking the Purple Moon Fleet, which was about ten light-years ahead.
• Li Qingsong observed stars vanishing, shifting, and flaring across the distant sky, and concluded that the war between the Red Star Alliance and the Demon Eye Alliance had likely begun.

Li Qingsong tracked down the Purple Moon Civilization’s main fleet and intercepted it, beginning a four-year battle of synchronized acceleration. Though the Purple Moon fleet’s all-out defense prevented a decisive victory, Li Qingsong deployed the Unified Force Field around its entire formation.

• Li Qingsong resumed the pursuit despite the dangerous war between the Red Star Alliance and the Space Demon Eye, eventually discovering the Purple Moon fleet’s recent route through industrial traces.
• Li Qingsong spotted the Purple Moon fleet accelerating away and adjusted his course to intercept it, then began decelerating so the fleets would meet.
• The Purple Moon Head of State learned the Lantu Ke Fleet was approaching and ordered his fleet to keep accelerating and defend for four years until it could escape at a higher speed.
• The fleets met at roughly 45% of light speed, matched their acceleration, and began a fierce battle as Li Qingsong committed more than 2.5 million warships against the Purple Moon fleet’s defensive formation.
• Li Qingsong’s attacks destroyed many enemy ships but failed to break the fleet’s defenses, so he deployed the Unified Force Field around the entire Purple Moon main fleet.

After crippling the Purple Moon Civilization’s fleet, Li Qingsong learned that the Destroyer Civilization may have engineered a trap to annihilate the Red Star Alliance and the space-grade Demon Eye. He continued preparing to pursue the Purple Moon Civilization, then received a gravitational-wave broadcast from the Cloud Luo Civilization that seemed intended for him.

• Li Qingsong used the Unified Force Field to destroy more than 200,000 Purple Moon ships, including over 6,000 Residential Spaceships, then salvaged wreckage and headed for a nearby Star System.
• The Purple Moon Head of State ordered the Civilization Cleansing Plan, and the fleet killed 30 billion Level 7 or higher citizens and recycled their bodies to conserve resources.
• A secretary delivered a document that shocked the Purple Moon Head of State, who then fainted while looking at a star map.
• Li Qingsong detected a supernova-like signal and concluded that the Destroyer Civilization had unleashed its Cataclysm of Destruction, possibly as part of a trap against the Red Star Alliance and the space-grade Demon Eye.
• Li Qingsong decided to finish gathering resources, pursue the Purple Moon Civilization, and flee the region, while hoping the Cloud Luo Civilization and Red Star Alliance would survive.
• Li Qingsong decoded a gravitational-wave broadcast using the Cloud Luo Civilization’s language system and realized it was likely a message intended for him.

Li Qingsong received a plea from the Cloud Luo Civilization to trigger a supernova in the Pegasus G76 System and free the Red Star Alliance from the Destroyer Civilization. After simulations suggested a possible method, he set off with his fleet, while the Purple Moon Clan received a separate mission from the Demon Eye Lord to trigger an explosion there and save the Demon Eye Nation.

• Li Qingsong read the Cloud Luo Civilization’s message asking the Lantu Ke Civilization to trigger a Type Ia Supernova in Pegasus G76 within five hundred years.
• Li Qingsong used Yuanshi AI to find a theoretical way to accelerate the White Dwarf’s growth, then ordered the Flying Star fleet to sail for Pegasus G76.
• The Purple Moon Head of State learned that Demon Eye Communication meant the Demon Eye Lord still existed and ordered the Purple Moon Clan to prepare for its instructions.
• The Purple Moon Clan gathered in Demon Eye Churches, prayed, and transmitted their individual message fragments for scientists to assemble.
• The assembled message ordered the Purple Moon Clan to reach Pegasus G76, use a simplified Anti-Gravity Device to trigger an explosion, and aim the White Dwarf’s pole precisely to free the Demon Eye Nation.

The Purple Moon Civilization developed gravity cannons to defend its mission at Pegasus G76 and sent its human captives into hibernation aboard a detached Residential Spaceship. Li Qingsong and the Purple Moon fleet reached the star system at nearly the same time, claimed opposite pairs of planets, and prepared for war.

• The Purple Moon Head of State ordered the fleet to Pegasus G76 and directed researchers to study the Demon Eye Lord’s technology, while officials worried the pursuing Lantu Ke Civilization would threaten their mission.
• A scientific adviser revealed that gravity cannons could use localized gravity and repulsion to tear through enemy warships’ Energy Shields, and the Purple Moon Civilization began developing them for its fleet.
• Decades later, the Purple Moon Civilization completed six gravity cannon models and sent its human captives into hibernation aboard a Residential Spaceship that departed with enough fuel and supplies.
• Li Qingsong observed the Red Giant and White Dwarf in Pegasus G76, then identified the approaching fleet as the Purple Moon Civilization’s and realized both sides intended to trigger a nova explosion.
• Li Qingsong and the Purple Moon Civilization entered the star system, divided its four habitable Major Planets between them, and faced each other across the star.

Li Qingsong’s fleet invaded the Pegasus G76 System but was routed when the Purple Moon Civilization used primitive gravity weapons, forcing him to retreat and build a defensive line around G76d. After a desperate industrial race, both civilizations completed their Industrial Systems, and Li Qingsong’s forces began mass-producing combat equipment as the next assault approached.

• Li Qingsong began industrial construction on G76c and G76d, then sent his fleet to attack the Purple Moon Civilization’s planets.
• The Purple Moon fleet used primitive gravity weapons to tear apart ships and deflect missiles, overwhelming Li Qingsong’s forces.
• Li Qingsong retreated to G76d, abandoned G76c, and used Flying Star resources to build a defensive line while the Purple Moon fleet pursued and attacked.
• Li Qingsong mobilized his clones and more than one hundred billion intelligent lifeforms to accelerate industrial construction and production.
• The Purple Moon Civilization completed its Industrial System first and sent a vast fleet toward G76d, but Li Qingsong finished his own Industrial System before it arrived.

Li Qingsong gambled most of his reserve fleet to escort Haimolan and a small mission force out of the besieged G76d battlefield, entrusting Haimolan with Human Civilization’s last hope. As the mission fleet escaped, Purple Moon Civilization noticed the breakout and ordered ten thousand warships to intercept it.

• Li Qingsong realized he could neither defeat Purple Moon Civilization’s gravity weapons nor escape the system without a desperate breakout.
• Haimolan proposed a plan to Li Qingsong, who chose him to lead the mission; Haimolan accepted despite the danger.
• Li Qingsong committed three hundred thousand warships to a diversion and escort, and Haimolan led five Aerospace Carriers and their fleet out of the encirclement.
• Li Qingsong sacrificed more than 220,000 warships to get the mission fleet beyond the battlefield, then told Haimolan he could either fulfill the mission or leave to rebuild Havilah Civilization.
• The Purple Moon Head of State ordered ten thousand warships to intercept the escaping fleet.

Haimolan led the mission fleet in a desperate attempt to evade the Purple Moon pursuit fleet after its ten thousand warships overwhelmed both rearguard forces. With the enemy closing in and no combat ships left, he split the survivors into a hundred independent spacecraft and destroyed the Aerospace Carriers to give them a chance to escape and reach their destination.

• Purple Moon Head of State sent ten thousand warships and four million soldiers to pursue the mission fleet, while Li Qingsong learned that Haimolan would have to face them without reinforcements.
• Haimolan ordered the fleet to accelerate, but after Li Qingsong lost contact with him beyond communication range, the three thousand-ship rearguard ambushed the Purple Moon Fleet and was annihilated.
• Haimolan committed the remaining combat forces to a second rearguard mission; the seven thousand ships were destroyed after taking out roughly twenty-six hundred enemy warships, leaving the mission fleet without combat forces.
• The Purple Moon Fleet caught up with Haimolan's small fleet despite its low-power random maneuvers, and Haimolan announced that they would destroy the three Aerospace Carriers as their only chance of survival.
• Haimolan divided the million people among one hundred multipurpose spacecraft, ordered each squad to travel separately in electromagnetic silence, and detonated the Aerospace Carriers as the spacecraft fled in different directions.
