Chapter Summaries

Song Chi advised the Song Family to sell most of its war supplies and later learned that a hundred-thousand-year Earth Spirit Ginseng had appeared in Silver-Disk City. He and Song Yan went to negotiate for it, but Celestial Sound Commerce's steward said the shop did not intend to sell.

• Song Chi argued that the Song Family could retain supplies for only a thousand years because he could obtain more through Red Star Continent and the Myriad Heavens Market, so the elders agreed to sell over ninety-five percent of their stock in ten years.
• Song Shiyuan revealed that the Origin Ancestor was struggling to break through to Level 7, and Song Chi learned that no one in the Star Order Group Chat could provide the needed spiritual item.
• Two years later, Song Shiyuan told Song Chi and Song Yan that a hundred-thousand-year Earth Spirit Ginseng had appeared on Silver-Disk Floating Continent and asked them to retrieve it.
• Song Chi brought Song Yan to Silver-Disk City through the Myriad Heavens Market, and they visited Celestial Sound Shop to ask about the ginseng.
• Steward Ji Min confirmed the Earth Spirit Ginseng was there but said Celestial Sound Commerce did not intend to sell it.

Song Chi and Song Yan traded Moon Well water for a hundred-thousand-year Earth Spirit Ginseng, helping Song Wujiang break through to Star Destroyer captain and perfect his Space Law. With the civilization war thirty years away, the three traveled to Song Yan’s ruin and found three golden flame seed wonders beyond a dangerous wormhole, but Song Chi had to turn back when the Sky Ruins Firmament’s defenses failed.

• Song Chi and Song Yan traded sixth- and fifth-tier Moon Well water to Ji Min for the Earth Spirit Ginseng, then refused to sell it to members of the Zhao Royal Clan who pursued them.
• Fourteen years later, Song Wujiang emerged from seclusion as a seventh-tier Star Destroyer captain and revealed that his Space Law had reached perfection.
• Song Wujiang, Song Chi, and Song Yan set out for the advanced civilization ruin in three warships, leaving Song Shiyuan behind to guard Dragonspine Continent.
• Song Yan led the group through a hidden spatial curtain to the ruin, where he explained that a wormhole led to a world of extreme heat he had previously been unable to explore fully.
• Song Chi piloted the Sky Ruins Firmament into the flame world and spotted three golden Holy Domain-grade flame seed wonders, but turned back after the warship’s energy shields overloaded.

Song Wujiang, Song Chi, and Song Yan explored the flame world aboard the Calm Sea Dragonrider, recovering a golden ascension flame source and a mysterious spatial bracelet before turning back. They confirmed the bracelet was a storage device and began trying to open it.

• Song Chi and Song Yan revealed defensive components, and the three prepared the Calm Sea Dragonrider for another attempt to enter the flame world.
• Song Wujiang piloted the warship through the wormhole, where its defenses let it reach the first golden marvel, the Star Lotus Flame, which could be converted into a Kindling Seed Ascension Flame Source.
• The Calm Sea Dragonrider collected a second golden marvel, but Song Chi and Song Yan found it could not be converted into an ascension flame source.
• Song Yan spotted a golden bracelet, and the three retrieved it while the warship endured worsening flame erosion and relied on the Flame God Clan Overlord True-Spirit Phantom for protection.
• Song Wujiang abandoned the distant third marvel and led the Calm Sea Dragonrider back through the wormhole, then confirmed the bracelet was a spatial storage device and poured Void Energy into it.

Song Chi, Song Yan, and Song Wujiang divided the treasures from the Flame God Overlord’s storage bracelet and gathered a vast haul of fireseed marvels. After Song Yan revealed that his Kindling Seed had already advanced to gold, Song Chi gave him his share of the Overlord True Spirit, and Song Wujiang led the Calm Sea Dragonrider deeper into the flame-filled space, where its shield overloaded.

• Song Wujiang opened the Flame God Overlord’s storage bracelet, and the three discovered two black marvels, five golden marvels, and numerous other treasures and resources.
• Song Wujiang, Song Yan, and Song Chi divided the key marvels, and Song Chi installed and upgraded the Chapter of Divine Sense and the Flame Roar Engine.
• After more than half a year, Song Wujiang successfully advanced his Kindling Seed to gold and enhanced several warship components to the eighth rank.
• The Calm Sea Dragonrider collected a third golden fireseed marvel, the Seaheart Flame, and Song Yan declined it because his Kindling Seed was already gold.
• Song Chi offered Song Yan his share of the Overlord True Spirit from two King Insect corpses, and the three collected 88 more fireseed marvels before Song Wujiang moved deeper into the flame-filled space.
• The Calm Sea Dragonrider entered the depths, where extreme flame energy overloaded its eighth-rank High-Energy Particle Energy Shield.

Song Chi and his companions escaped the deadly flame space after spotting a black fire-seed wonder, then secured access to the ruins and tested the Chapter of Divine Sense. After refining two Overlord insect corpses and absorbing Seaheart Flame, Song Chi’s Kindling Seed advanced to gold, allowing his warship to enhance golden and higher-quality components to the eighth tier.

• Song Wujiang led the Calm Sea Dragonrider into the flame space, where its defenses failed until it transformed into a miniature black hole and revealed a black fire-seed wonder; he chose to retreat rather than risk the crew’s lives.
• Song Chi placed a Spatial Anchor at the ruins and left a fifth-tier Calamity Star Clan member to guard them, then tested the Chapter of Divine Sense by recalling the Sky Ruins Firmament across several locations.
• Song Wujiang urged Song Chi to focus on improving his warship ahead of the coming civilization war, while Song Chi refined the two Overlord insect corpses using eighth-tier Overlord power.

• Song Chi upgraded the Antimatter-Energy Evolution Engine, Mythic Serpent's Eternal Shelter Scale, Time Chessboard, Bloodbattle Stele, Blood Spear, Bhasa Meditation Seal, Yin-Yang Counterforce Annihilation Shield, and Heavenly Authority Ring, exhausting nearly all his accumulated resources.
• Song Wujiang gathered the Song Family’s core members, and they agreed to attack the ancient mother queen’s nest a month later, with Song Chi and Song Yan each confident they could hold off an Overlord King Insect.
• After a month, Song Chi brought the fleet to the starfield where the Starry Sky Dragon Shark had been enslaved and used the Death Calamity Pursuit Order to locate the queen’s nest more than ten thousand light-years away.
• Song Shiyuan used the River of Mass Concealment to conceal all six warships, and the fleet jumped toward the queen’s location.
• The fleet stopped near a peak Level 6 floating continent and saw dense insectoid swarms devouring it.

The Song Family launched a surprise attack on the level-seven Ancient Mother Empress, but its hidden defenses and extra King Insects turned the battle into a dangerous stalemate. Song Chi held off a Black-Scorpion King Insect while the returning Sovereign-level enemy blocked the other ships from joining the fight.

• Song Wujiang urged the Song Family to attack before the Ancient Mother Empress finished breeding a fifth King Insect.

• A returning Sovereign-level King Insect created a spatial vortex that blocked three Dreadnoughts from reaching the battle below.

Song Chi and the Song Family used the Calamity Star Clan to hold the berserk Sawtooth King Insect long enough for Song Shiyuan to blast it with the Immoveable Wisdom King's Star Destroyer's Wrath. Song Wujiang tried to stop the Ancient Mother Empress from activating another berserk state, but failed, and Song Chi suspected the exiled Dominator King Insect was involved.

• The Ancient Mother Empress drove the Sawtooth King Insect into a berserk state, and it badly damaged the Immoveable Wisdom King, the Calm Sea Starry Sky, and the other Dreadnought.
• Song Chi deployed the Calamity Star Clan, and Song Shixing briefly slowed the Sawtooth King Insect with Immobilizing Mirrorlight.
• The Calamity Star Clan grabbed the Sawtooth King Insect's wing, allowing Song Shiyuan to Flash Escape the Immoveable Wisdom King into position and fire Star Destroyer's Wrath into its mouth.
• The blast severely wounded the Sawtooth King Insect, while the Immoveable Wisdom King survived with heavy damage and the Calamity Star Clan died.
• Song Wujiang exiled a Dominator King Insect into a spatial rift and attacked the Ancient Mother Empress, but it activated a second berserk state before his beam could stop it.
• Song Chi searched for the cause of the new berserk state and turned his attention to the place where Song Wujiang had exiled the Dominator King Insect.

Song Chi used the Time Chessboard to kill the Black Scorpion King Bug, then helped the Song Family break the Ancient Mother Empress’s defenses. He tried to enslave the weakened Empress while the insect forces went berserk and the family’s fleet struggled to hold the battlefield.

• Song Chi trapped the Black Scorpion King Bug in the Time Chess Game, suppressed it to the sixth rank, and destroyed it with attacks from Sky Ruins Firmament and four projections.
• Song Chi struck the Ancient Mother Empress’s Life Crystal Wall with Ninefold Violet Firmament World-Ending Tribulation Lightning, and the Three-Eyed Imperial Clan Sovereign Flagship and Song Yan’s Flame-Boiling Sea shattered the weakened barrier.

• Song Wujiang warned that the insect creatures across the landmass had gone berserk, while Calm Sea Dragonrider went to buy Song Chi one more minute and the Song Family’s other Dreadnoughts faced mounting danger from millions of insects.

Song Chi and the Song Family enslaved the dying Ancient Mother Empress, escaped the remaining insectoid swarm, and later returned to bring the surviving insects under its control. After collecting insectoid spoils, they discovered the peak sixth-rank floating continent could not be saved and began extracting its remaining origin core.

• Song Chi enslaved the weakened Ancient Mother Empress and recalled it aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament as the swarm attacked.
• The Song Family and the Starry Sky Dragon Shark escaped the millions of frenzied insectoids and hid in an asteroid belt.
• Song Wujiang distributed insectoid flesh and awarded top-grade energy crystals to Song Chi and Song Yan.
• Two months later, the Song Family returned and used the recovered Ancient Mother Empress to gather the six hundred thousand surviving insectoids.

• At the Dragonspine Auction, three captains bought an Ice Apricot Fruit and traded it to the masked Song Lü for a mid-tier Thunderclap Crystal.
• Song Xing ambushed Song Lü after the trade, revealed that he had recorded evidence of Song Lü’s private sale of family resources, and escaped with a flash-escape component.
• At Thunderstone Mine, Song Lü told Song Li’s inspection team that Song Xing had been executed for intercepting clan resources, while Song Yufeng insisted the accusation was false.
• Elder Zhihao admitted that he had personally executed Song Xing, then withdrew his pressure after Song Li objected; Song Yufeng appealed to the ancestor to uphold justice.

• Song Chi, Song Yan, and Song Wujiang traveled from the Silver-Disk Floating Continent through two long-range Stargate transmissions and arrived in the Golden-Disk Galaxy.

Song Chi traveled to the Golden-Disk Floating Continent with Song Wujiang and Song Yan, then used the time before the auction to test the Sky Ruins Firmament’s strength. His exploration led him to an anomalous region of space, where he discovered a lifeform identified as a Cosmic Intestine.

• After jumping closer to the anomaly, Song Chi used the Eye of Heaven to reveal a vast crimson lifeform that the Skyvault AI identified as a Cosmic Intestine.

Song Chi explored a Cosmic Intestine and discovered two black supreme-quality marvels, including the Soul-Devouring Platform that could become the Soul-Devouring Altar. He returned with the Song Family to test whether they could each take a marvel, and after the Cosmic Intestine expelled them and fled, Song Chi said he wanted to try again.

• Song Chi entered the Cosmic Intestine aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament and examined the Star Sea Marvels growing along its walls.

• The six Song Family captains reached for different marvels together, but the Cosmic Intestine expelled them and fled; Song Chi was the only one who obtained a marvel.
• Song Chi told the others to wait because he wanted to try another method.

Song Chi used the Myriad Heavens Market to reenter the fleeing Cosmic Intestine and help the Song Family retrieve its remaining high-value wonders. After testing the Soul-Devouring Altar and arriving at the Chigu Auction, he watched a Star Destroyer captain arrive, an honored King among Kindling Humanity.

• Song Chi used a Spatial Anchor to reenter the Cosmic Intestine and repeatedly brought Song Wujiang and the other five back to collect wonders until each had secured another one.
• Song Chi discovered that the Cosmic Intestine had moved beyond the Myriad Heavens Market's current teleportation range, so the family ended its expedition and returned.

• Song Chi arrived at the Chigu Auction as numerous captains gathered, and a Star Destroyer captain descended over Chigu City.

• The Giant Whale Sun Clan’s opposition kept bidders from competing for the Chigu Luo Clan’s Darkstar Black-Tortoise Shell until Song Wujiang offered a sixth-tier Time Realm Fruit, and the Calm Sea King acquired the component.
• Song Chi asked how law comprehension improved advancement odds, and Song Wujiang explained that comprehension above 90% raised the success rate, with bonuses from multiple laws stacking.
• Song Chi considered his progress in spatial and light laws and recognized how difficult it would be to raise multiple laws above 90% before advancing the Sky Ruins Firmament.
• The auction presented its remaining finale items, ending with the gold-quality False Chronocrown, which Song Wujiang intended to obtain but did not bid on immediately.

At the Chigu Auction House, Song Wujiang agreed to help the Chigu Luo Clan advance in exchange for the False Chronocrown and an alliance, then led Song Chi and Song Yan toward the Xianqin Divine Dynasty. After Tianqi forces tried to obstruct their travel, the Sky Ruins Firmament bypassed a six-month wait with a long-range jump, and a violent collision erupted on a floating continent in Xianqin territory.
