Song Chi and his family’s warship incarnations reached the Serpent Demon Holy City after Song Wujiang found traces of the Demon Serpent Nine-Shedding Fruit. They watched the Shang Family break the city’s shield and confront its defenders, then discovered the Shang Family had an eighth-rank One-Horned Giant Whale.

• Song Chi decided to use a cloned Soul-Devouring Altar for the Mirror Battleship while reserving the original to strengthen the Sky Ruins Firmament, and spent months hunting Eight-Armed Serpent Demons for merit.
• Song Wujiang sent Song Chi coordinates after finding traces of the Demon Serpent Nine-Shedding Fruit, and Song Chi used the Sky Ruins Firmament to bring the Mirror Battleship to the rendezvous.
• Song Chi joined Song Wujiang and the other family warship incarnations near the Serpent Demon Holy City, where they identified the Shang Family of Shangdang attacking it.
• The Shang Family shattered the holy city’s still-charged energy shield, and more than a thousand Eight-Armed Serpent Demons emerged to confront its warships.
• Song Chi recognized an eighth-rank One-Horned Giant Whale leaving the Shangdang Spirit Venerable and realized it could match the eighth-rank Serpent Demon.

Song Chi and the Song Family entered a Serpent Demon Holy City during the battle between the Shang Family and the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, racing to claim its hidden treasury. They reached the first-tier holy treasury, but found that its treasures were protected by special restrictions.

• Song Wujiang ordered the Song Family’s five warships to wait until the Shang Family and the Serpent Demons were engaged, then move into the holy city.
• After the Shang Family detected them, its two Dreadnoughts tried to stop the Song Family, but the Four Symbols Sanctuary shielded the warships as they pushed toward a temple identified by Song Shiyuan’s Golden Light Treasure-Sniffing Mouse.
• The Song Family’s warships broke through the temple’s Eight-Armed Serpent Prisons and entered a vast underground treasury, while the energy clash hurled the pursuing Shang forces away.
• Song Wujiang and the others deployed silver sealing barriers and began collecting treasures, but discovered that every treasure was protected by a special restriction barrier.

Song Chi and the four others looted the underground sacred treasury under attack, then escaped through a secret realm entrance after the Shang Family caught up with them. They fled tens of thousands of light-years and tallied a haul that could greatly aid Song Chi’s future promotion, though he decided the odds were still too risky to proceed yet.

• Song Chi and the others unleashed mass attacks to shatter the treasury’s treasure-restriction barriers and pulled hundreds of valuable items into the Myriad Heavens Market.
• The Shang Family’s Shangdang Spirit Venerable and an eighth-rank One-Horned Giant Whale descended, so Song Chi and the others used true-spirit protections to buy time while continuing to loot.
• Song Chi broke the last black barrier with a Matter-Antimatter Annihilation Strike and discovered a secret realm entrance beneath it.
• The five warships entered the secret realm and fired on the entrance, but the passage remained intact; they then fled deeper into the realm while Shang Yuanshan stayed behind to loot the treasury.
• After several spatial jumps, the five warships stopped and tallied more than three hundred items, including black- and gold-grade treasures and rare promotion resources.
• Song Chi considered how a Voidfall Dao Crystal could improve his spatial-law comprehension and calculated that his promotion chance could exceed 70%, but chose to wait for better odds.

Song Chi and the four ancestors reached the Cosmic Secret Realm’s core, where they discovered a major battle between human warships and powerful Eight-Armed Serpent Demons. They joined the fight and killed a seventh-rank demon, but Song Chi spotted something on the floating continent below.

• Song Chi considered saving his Time Realm Fruit for the Sky Ruins Firmament’s future Galaxy Warship advancement, then reviewed the expedition’s spoils with the four ancestors.
• The group distributed the black and gold wonders, and Song Chi received the Divine Blood of the Eight-Armed Demon God, a Spatial Jumper, and numerous other resources.
• After five days of travel, the five warships reached a vast floating continent at the secret realm’s core and saw signs of a battle nearby.
• Song Chi and the others identified Imperial Qin, Meng, Wang, and Shang forces fighting eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, and decided to join them.
• The five Song Family warships attacked from concealment and destroyed a seventh-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon before splitting up across the battlefield.
• Song Chi noticed something on the floating continent below and focused his gaze on it.

Song Chi and the other Kindling captains unleashed their strongest attacks as the battle for the Demon Serpent Floating Continent reached its decisive stage. The Eight-Armed Serpent Demons began retreating toward the surface and detonating themselves, destroying many pursuing warships before the shield was broken.

• Song Chi recognized the enormous tree in the secret realm as an eighth-tier Gold Apple Mother Tree but set aside thoughts of taking it because he lacked the strength to seize it.
• The Ying Clan Galaxy Ship summoned the Dragon Sparrow Blade phantom, which severed three arms from an eighth-tier Eight-Armed Serpent Demon before dispersing.
• A Xianqin Galaxy Ship projected the Ultradimensional Mothership to hold off one ninth-tier Serpent Demon while Emperor Ying attacked the floating-continent shield and another Serpent Demon defended it.
• Song Chi and the other Kindling captains obeyed the order to attack with everything they had, killing numerous seventh- and sixth-tier Eight-Armed Serpent Demons and further weakening the shield.
• The surviving Eight-Armed Serpent Demons retreated toward the continent's surface, and several detonated themselves, destroying more than twenty Kindling warships within minutes.

Kindling Warships fought to stop the Eight-Armed Serpent Demons from igniting the secret realm altar, while the Ying Clan's Galactic Warship broke through their defenses and attacked the altar's guardian. An eighth-rank Abyssal Hydra intervened and protected the guardian; after losing seven heads, it burned its life force and charged toward the altar as the other serpent demons blocked the Kindling Warships.

• The Kindling Warships used Flash Escape to attack the descending Eight-Armed Serpent Demons, and Song Chi joined the battle with the four ancestors.
• The peak eighth-rank serpent demon dominator reached the Bloodbone Altar while other serpent demons suppressed the Galactic Warships.
• The Wolf Hall Master and Gongshu Chou summoned their mythic foundations, enabling the Ying Clan's Galactic Warship to break through the suppression and strike the altar's guardian.
• The Ying Clan's Galactic Warship battered the guardian with its cannons and Dragon Sparrow Blade, but an Abyssal Hydra appeared and took the blade's first strike for it.
• The Dragon Sparrow Blade severed five more of the Abyssal Hydra's heads, but the wounded Hydra burned its life force and charged toward the altar while the other serpent demons intercepted the Kindling Warships.

Song Chi’s Sky Ruins Firmament mirror battleship and two allied dreadnoughts attacked the weakened Abyssal Hydra at close range, but the monster reignited its life force and began recovering its strength. Song Chi unleashed a coordinated barrage of powerful component abilities and chained his battleship to the Hydra to keep it from being thrown off, as the Hydra tried to blast it away.

• The Sky Ruins Firmament mirror battleship escaped the Eight-Armed Serpent Prison with four other dreadnoughts, and three of them charged the Abyssal Hydra while the others attacked from a distance.
• Song Chi drove his mirror battleship into an old head wound and activated Neutron Star Fission, scorching the Hydra and damaging nearby allied dreadnoughts.
• The Meng Clan Ultimate Dreadnought drilled into another wound with its colored ramming horn, inflicting severe pain on the Hydra.
• The Abyssal Hydra fully ignited its life force, rapidly recovering to half-step eighth rank as Song Chi prepared a counterattack.
• Song Chi ordered the mirror battleship to unleash Gamma-Ray Burst, lightning, black-hole, and other abilities, while using void chains to tether the ship to the Hydra.
• The Abyssal Hydra sensed the danger and tried to blast the tethered mirror battleship off its body with Dominator force.

Song Chi used the Mirror Battleship and the Sky Ruins Firmament to kill the eighth-rank Abyssal Hydra, gaining a major boost to the Sky Ruins Firmament’s advancement success rate. As the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereigns struggled to intervene, the Ying Clan Star-River Ship again stopped the peak eighth-rank Serpent Demon Sovereign from igniting the secret realm’s source rules.

• The Mirror Battleship attacked the Abyssal Hydra with a Gamma-Ray Burst, tribulation lightning, and a miniature black hole, but began collapsing when its neutron-star form ended.
• Song Chi escaped the Mirror Battleship, summoned the Sky Ruins Firmament, and launched another barrage while activating its warship advancement mission.
• Song Chi sent four warship projections into the attack, and the resulting assault killed the eighth-rank Abyssal Hydra.
• The kill gave the Sky Ruins Firmament a 15% advancement success rate increase and earned Song Chi one strand of seventh-rank Floating Continent Essence.
• The Ying Clan Star-River Ship interrupted the peak eighth-rank Serpent Demon Sovereign’s attempt to ignite the secret realm’s source rules, while the other Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Sovereigns were held back.

The Xianqin Ying Clan man and the peak eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon clashed using their civilizations’ supreme wonders, but the Serpent Demon’s self-destruction devastated the battlefield. Song Chi survived by transforming the Sky Ruins Firmament into a miniature neutron star and used the chaos to attempt to seize the damaged Golden Apple Mother Tree.

• The Xianqin Ying Clan man used Spirit Devouring Form to replenish his dark energy and summoned the Dragon Sparrow Blade, while the Serpent Demon Sovereign summoned the Azure Nightmare Chaos Stele.
• The Dragon Sparrow Blade and Nightmare Demon God statue clashed, and Song Chi concluded that the Serpent Demon’s weakened state came from the energy cost of summoning its wonder.
• The peak eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon self-destructed, and Song Chi used Flash Escape and the Neutron Star Fission trait to protect the Sky Ruins Firmament from the blast.
• Song Chi spotted the badly damaged Golden Apple Mother Tree and used the Sky Ruins Firmament’s tractor beam to pull it free as the energy storm began to weaken.
• Song Chi sent the fiery-red figure out with a storage capsule containing Immortal Domain Spirit Soil and Jadewater Spirit Spring Water to help preserve and transplant the tree.

Song Chi used the Flame Tyrant Giant to uproot and retrieve the Golden Apple Mother Tree during the energy storm, then escaped the battlefield and recalled the giant to the Sky Ruins Firmament. With the Demon Serpent shield shattered and Ember Humanity's invasion underway, he fled to protect himself and his warship.

• Song Chi empowered the Flame Tyrant Giant to Tier 8, and it killed a wounded Tier 7 Eight-Armed Serpent Demon before uprooting the Golden Apple Mother Tree.
• As the energy storm intensified, Song Chi Flash Escaped one light-year away, leaving a silver shrinking mark on the uprooted tree so the Flame Tyrant Giant could store it in its Dimensional Space Stone.
• The peak Tier 8 Eight-Armed Serpent Demon's self-destruction helped collapse the Demon Serpent Floating Continent shield, and Emperor Ying ordered Ember Humanity's warships to invade.
• The Flame Tyrant Giant stored the shrunken Golden Apple Mother Tree and used Song Chi's Chapter of Divine Sense mark to return to the Sky Ruins Firmament, where a Life-Reforming Creation Pill restored its vitality.
• After learning the Divine Dynasty's forces had invaded, Song Chi fled farther away, while all four of his warship avatars had already been destroyed in the storm and self-destruction.

Song Chi escaped the Demon Serpent Secret Realm as two ninth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons shattered part of its core continent, while a Cosmic Azure Dragon projection protected the surviving Kindling captains. Back in the Myriad Heavens Market, he raised the Sky Ruins Firmament’s advancement success rate to 76.001% and decided to seek further resources and hunt high-rank creatures on the Red Star Continent.

• Song Chi fled the secret realm, then witnessed two ninth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons strike its core battlefield and split away part of the central floating continent.
• A Cosmic Azure Dragon projection protected the surviving Kindling warships, while the serpent demons seized the remaining Eight-Armed Serpent Demons and Abyssal Hydras before leaving.
• Song Chi returned to the Myriad Heavens Market and fused laws and resources into the Sky Ruins Firmament, raising its advancement success rate to 76.001%.
• Song Chi decided to save his seventh-rank Blood of the Evil God in hopes of obtaining an eighth-rank version and increasing the success rate further.
• Song Chi considered hunting high-rank creatures on the Red Star Continent, where he could use a half-step ninth-rank Market Projection Token and had no record of ninth-rank beings.

Song Chi returned to the Demon Serpent Secret Realm, upgraded Plasma Guardian, and learned that the Sky Ruins Firmament ranked third in the individual achievement standings. He claimed a city construction quota and found a mythic Chaos Energy Generator on the exchange list, but its price far exceeded his remaining points.

• Song Chi upgraded Plasma Guardian to level 80 with a Tier 8 Gold Apple, giving it stronger shields and the Undying Pulse Wave trait.
• Song Chi returned to the core floating continent, where the Divine Dynasty fleet had gathered to tally the operation’s achievements.
• Song Chi discovered that the Sky Ruins Firmament ranked third among Kindling Warships, with 2,929,200 achievement points.
• Song Chi spent one million achievement points to claim a construction quota for a city in the Demon Serpent Floating Continent’s future public-access zone.
• Song Chi saw that the exchange list offered a multicolored Chaos Energy Generator for 11 million merit points and yearned for the shield component.

Song Chi spent his battle merit on rare resources, then returned with the surviving Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall members as the factions negotiated their shares of Demon Serpent Continent. After the Main Hall offered rewards to the group, Song Chi received first choice and examined the available items, especially a special shipborne component he coveted.

• Song Chi exchanged 800,000 Battle Merit Points for Scorpio Flame, 1,000,000 for eight portions of ninth-rank Overlord True Spirit, and his remaining points for a Nine-Revolution Divine Spirit Fruit and titanium crystals.
• Three days later, Song Chi received his purchases and waited for the remaining Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall members to return, hoping to claim the Main Hall's promised reward.
• The major factions negotiated Demon Serpent Continent's territory, awarding seventy percent to the Ying Clan, ten percent to the Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall, and the rest among other factions and a public zone.
• The Wolf Hall Master led the surviving Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall members back to Starlight Hall and announced that the Main Hall had rewards for everyone.
• Song Chi earned the right to choose three reward items before the other members, and he considered the listed resources and marvels while coveting a special shipborne component.

After choosing three rewards, Song Chi was transported by the Wolf Hall Master to a Heaven-grade Chaos Nest and ordered to kill as many hostile units as possible. Facing a massive force of unknown creatures, he turned control of the Sky Ruins Firmament over to its intelligent system, but discovered that he could not enter the Myriad Heavens Market.

• Song Chi selected the Domain Countermeasure Device, Mechanical Overlord Furnace, and Titanium Crystal Vein Core, then considered his shortage of Tier 8 Overlord True Spirits and planned to hunt on the Red Star Continent.
• The Wolf Hall Master summoned Song Chi and transported him and the Sky Ruins Firmament to a blood-red Heaven-grade Chaos Nest, telling him to kill as many enemies as possible for greater rewards.
• Song Chi detected a vast force of hostile creatures ranging from Tier 4 to Tier 7 approaching through the blood mist, and activated the Skyfall autonomous control system to let the Firmament Intelligent-Brain operate his warship.
• Song Chi tried twice to use the Star Sea Market Token but failed to enter the Myriad Heavens Market, leaving him to face the approaching creatures without that escape route.

Song Chi battled growing waves of crimson creatures and deployed the Sky Ruins Firmament’s weapons and mechs to hold them back. As stronger enemies overwhelmed its defenses, the battleship’s energy shield began to falter, leaving Song Chi under mounting pressure.

• Song Chi used the Sky Ruins Firmament’s secondary guns, soldier-puppets, and Violet Firmament Divine-Thunder Cannon to kill large numbers of crimson creatures, but their deaths did not improve the battleship’s advancement success rate.
• The blood mist pulsed and expanded, swallowing several soldier-puppets before releasing a fresh wave of 200,000 stronger crimson creatures, including sixth-rank units and several dozen seventh-rank Overlords.
• Song Chi deployed 5,000 Hellfire Mechs and 5,000 Moro Voidpiercer Mechs, whose attacks cut down many fifth-rank creatures while limiting their own losses.
• Thousands of sixth-rank creatures and several seventh-rank creatures reached the Sky Ruins Firmament, and their corrosive energy damaged its shield faster than its repair effects could restore it.

Song Chi and the Skyvault AI used the Sky Ruins Firmament’s defenses and components to kill fifteen seventh-tier blood-red Chaos Beasts, but the survivors regrouped for another assault. As the warship faced their renewed charge, powerful figures watching from outside debated whether to intervene and discussed pressure on the Song Family.

• The Skyvault AI used the Neutron Star Core Armor and Spatial-Escape Pearl to fend off seventh-tier blood-red creatures while its cannons killed thousands of lower-tier creatures.
• The Skyvault AI activated the Black Hole Domain, endured the seventh-tier creatures’ attacks, and released a High-Energy Particle Storm when they crowded around the Sky Ruins Firmament.
• Song Chi activated the Time Chessboard, slowing the creatures enough for the Sky Ruins Firmament’s weapons to kill fifteen seventh-tier blood-red creatures before the rest escaped.
• The remaining blood-red creatures waited for the protective effects to end, then charged the Sky Ruins Firmament again.
• Several figures watching from outside praised Song Chi’s record and debated intervention, while one revealed that the Fusang Dynasty had demanded resources from the Song Family.

Song Chi survived the Chaos Nest challenge and was summoned to the Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall, where the Lords of the Halls granted him major rewards and early membership. He then browsed the Star Hall Marketplace and discovered rare resources, including a huge piece of Microscopic Spirituality-Activated Metal.

• Song Chi used the Bhasa Meditation Seal to refresh Neutron Star Fission, and the Sky Ruins Firmament's heat killed four more Rank 7 blood-colored creatures while the others attacked it.
• The Sky Ruins Firmament was pulled back to the Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall before Neutron Star Fission ended, and Song Chi revealed his identity to the seven Lords of the Halls.
• The Lord of Wolf Hall awarded Song Chi 380 Overlord True Spirits, an Eternal True-Spirit Nest, and a Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall Main Hall Star Token, admitting him as a member ahead of schedule.
• Song Chi visited the Star Hall Marketplace and found Soul-Mind Stones needed to upgrade his new component, along with other valuable goods.
• Song Chi spotted a golden ascension flame source and a huge piece of Microscopic Spirituality-Activated Metal on the marketplace's seventh product screen.

Song Chi exchanged accumulated components for resources to strengthen the Sky Ruins Firmament and prepare for its advancement, while investigating a colored marvel he hoped to trade for. The chapter ended with a seventh-rank True-Spirit Wizard entering the Myriad Heavens Market, giving Song Chi a potential buyer for the Moon-Swallowing Viper Body.

• Song Chi found Bright Moon's listing for the colored Moon-Swallowing Viper Body, which she would exchange only for resources needed to advance a Destroyer into a Galaxy Warship.
• Song Chi exchanged his accumulated components for Microscopic Spirituality-Activated Metal, Soul Thought Stones, and a Fertility Fruit, while retaining more than one hundred thousand Star Hall Points.
• Song Chi fused the metal into the Sky Ruins Firmament and enhanced its Eternal True-Spirit Nest to level 80, allowing it to store soul bodies up to the eighth rank.
• At the Myriad Heavens Market, Song Chi sensed a seventh-rank Overlord enter through the Walker Room and identified the newcomer as a True-Spirit Wizard from the Wizard Civilization.
• Song Chi realized the wizard's connections to Bloodline Warlock families could give him a buyer for the Moon-Swallowing Viper Body.
