Chapter Summaries

Song Chi traded with a True Spirit Wizard from the Wizard Civilization, whose arrival prompted the New Moon Matriarch to enter the Myriad Heavens Market. The Matriarch sought the Blood of the Eight-Armed Demon God on behalf of Moon God Elune, but Song Chi rejected her initial offer and waited to see what else she would provide.

• Song Chi watched the True Spirit Wizard inspect the Marvel Exchange Shop and trade an Alchemical Magitech Power Furnace and a Scarlet Buddha Golden Flame for marvels in the shop.
• The True Spirit Wizard’s entry reached Melin and the New Moon Tribe’s elders, who summoned the New Moon Matriarch to hear her report.
• After learning that a Wizard Civilization Sovereign had entered the Market, the New Moon Matriarch took Melin’s Market Projection Token and entered the Market herself.
• The New Moon Matriarch went to the Marvel Exchange Shop and offered two drops of eighth-rank Blood of the Evil God for the Blood of the Eight-Armed Demon God.
• Song Chi rejected the offer as insufficient, and the New Moon Matriarch produced another item from her storage necklace.

Song Chi traded the Chaos Godhead to the New Moon Matriarch while keeping the two drops of eighth-tier Blood of the Evil God. He restored her depleted vitality with three Life-Reforming Creation Pills, and the True Spirit Wizard then asked whether he could buy pills for himself.

• Song Chi accepted the New Moon Matriarch's Chaos Godhead but refused to return the two drops of eighth-tier Blood of the Evil God, so she completed the trade.
• The New Moon Matriarch asked Song Chi to restore her lost vitality and offered her possessions in exchange.
• Song Chi demanded a portion of seventh-tier Moon Well, and the New Moon Matriarch returned with one from the New Moon Tribe's forbidden grounds.
• Song Chi gave the New Moon Matriarch a Life-Reforming Creation Pill, then supplied two more after the first restored only a third of her lost vitality.
• The three pills fully restored the New Moon Matriarch's vitality, and the True Spirit Wizard asked Song Chi if he could purchase Life-Reforming Creation Pills separately.

Song Chi traded with a True Spirit Wizard for five Life-Reforming Creation Pills and obtained a Rank Seven True Spirit Tower Power Source and other resources, especially valuing the Heavenly Thunder Earthfire Stone. He then tried to trade with Bright Moon for the Swallowing-Moon Viper's Body, but Bright Moon demanded two Rank Six Time Realm Fruits in addition to Song Chi's offered treasures.

• Song Chi offered the True Spirit Wizard three Life-Reforming Creation Pills in exchange for a Magical Energy Power Furnace, a Heavenly Thunder Earthfire Stone, and a Rank Seven True Spirit Tower Power Source, then raised his offer to five pills.
• The True Spirit Wizard accepted, and Song Chi completed the trade, taking particular delight in acquiring the Heavenly Thunder Earthfire Stone as an advancement resource.
• Song Chi waited at the Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall and met Bright Moon to negotiate for the Swallowing-Moon Viper's Body.
• Song Chi offered a drop of Rank Eight Blood of the Evil God, a portion of Rank Seven Moon Well, and the Heavenly Thunder Earthfire Stone, but Bright Moon refused the offer as insufficient.
• Bright Moon rejected Song Chi's additional offer of Rank Eight Overlord Source Blood, then asked him to add two Rank Six Time Realm Fruits to the other items for the trade.

Song Chi traded for the Moon-Swallowing Viper corpse and traveled across Red Star Continent to gather resources and assess potential Overlord targets. After choosing Giant Elephant City as his first hunting target, he watched the city from concealment and prepared to act.

• Song Chi traded three current items for Bright Moon's Moon-Swallowing Viper corpse, agreeing to deliver eighth-rank Overlord Source Blood and two sixth-rank Time Realm Fruits later.
• Song Chi traveled to Dragon Abyss City and then Dragon Shark City, where Dong Ancestor presented the city's accumulated profits and confirmed that everything was in order.
• Song Chi left Dragon Shark City to hunt an eighth-rank Overlord creature and reviewed the Hidden Lineage's intelligence on Red Star Continent's alien forces.
• Song Chi chose the eighth-rank elephant-man of Giant Elephant City as his first target because it appeared to lack powerful backing.
• More than half a year later, Song Chi concealed the Sky Ruins Firmament tens of thousands of light-years from Dragon Shark City and observed Giant Elephant City below.

Song Chi lured the eighth-rank Giant Elephant Overlord out of Giant Elephant City and used the Myriad Heavens Market projection to cripple and kill it. The kill raised the Sky Ruins Firmament’s promotion success rate to 92%, but Song Chi decided that still was not safe enough to begin promotion.

• Song Chi scouted Giant Elephant City, sealed it off with the Fixed-Space Sky-Locking Seal, and attacked its defenses to provoke the Giant Elephant Overlord.
• The Giant Elephant Overlord charged at the Sky Ruins Firmament, but Song Chi summoned the purple mist of a ninth-rank Overlord and halted its advance with the Bhasa Meditation Seal.
• Song Chi’s purple-mist hand broke the Giant Elephant Overlord’s armor and smashed it into the city barrier, while Otto and Aoni argued underground over whether to evacuate their clansmen.
• The purple-mist hand shattered Giant Elephant City’s barrier and severely injured the Giant Elephant Overlord; Song Chi’s warship then finished it off with several attacks.
• Song Chi saw the promotion success rate rise to 92% and suppressed his urge to begin promotion, fearing the consequences if the Sky Ruins Firmament failed.

Song Chi seized Giant Elephant City, arranged for the Song Family to loot it, and continued toward his next operation. While assessing the city's spoils aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament, he examined the newly acquired Strength Seal.

• Song Wujiang and the other ancestors sent Song Yiming and about a thousand Song Family members to Giant Elephant City, where Song Chi assigned them to loot the city and capture its inhabitants.
• Song Chi left the Flame Tyrant Giant behind to protect the Song Family team and continued toward his next operation site aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament.
• Song Chi reviewed the valuable resources and curios recovered from Giant Elephant City, then examined the Strength Seal's attributes and blessing.

Song Chi brought the Sky Ruins Firmament to Asura Blood City to enslave its eighth-rank ruler before beginning the warship’s advancement. The Asura Emperor met his attack and used the clash to break through to peak eighth rank, while Song Chi escalated with his strongest secret arts.

• Song Chi enhanced the Overlord Ivory Ram and replaced the Sky Ruins Firmament’s outdated ram, planning to pass the Black-Gold Ram to Song Mingsong.
• Two years later, Song Chi approached Asura Blood City with the Sky Ruins Firmament, whose advancement success rate had reached 95.501%.
• Song Chi enhanced the Heavenly Authority Ring, then sealed the space around Asura Blood City with the Frost Void Cage.
• The Asura Emperor recognized Song Chi and emerged from the city instead of escaping, making Song Chi suspect it intended to use him to break through.
• Song Chi transferred control of the warship to the Skyvault AI, entered the Myriad Heavens Market, and struck the Asura Emperor with a purple mist sword and palm.
• The Asura Emperor activated three strange objects and surged toward quasi-ninth rank, while Song Chi summoned Yao Guang Star and Death Calamity Star and sent the latter crashing down.

Song Chi and the Skyvault AI defeated and enslaved the wounded Asura Emperor inside the Time Chessboard’s high-dimensional space. As ninth-rank Sovereigns attacked the Frost Void Cage, the Sky Ruins Firmament fled toward the spatial rift while the Myriad Heavens Market projection intercepted their reaching seals.

• Song Chi used the Death Calamity Star projection and Void-Realm Radiance to severely injure the Asura Emperor as the Skyvault AI slowed time above Asura Blood City.
• A ninth-rank Sovereign attacked the Frost Void Cage, and the Skyvault AI’s first enslavement attempts failed while a second sealing curtain was repeatedly struck.
• Song Chi realized that multiple ninth-rank Sovereigns might be attacking and ordered the Skyvault AI to use the Time Chess Game trait to pull the Asura Emperor into its high-dimensional space.
• The Time Chess Game weakened the Asura Emperor to seventh-rank strength, allowing the sixth enslavement attempt to brand his soul successfully.
• The Sky Ruins Firmament reappeared without the Asura Emperor and fled toward the spatial rift as two giant hand seals descended and the Myriad Heavens Market projection rushed to intercept them.

Song Chi escaped the three ninth-rank Dominators on Red Star Continent and returned to Dragonspine Continent. He and Song Shiyuan then began advancing Red Serpent Floating Continent to seventh rank, preparing the family’s warships to advance during the coming energy tide.

• Song Chi used the Dragonwhale Hall projection to help the Myriad Heavens Market projection withstand two ninth-rank attacks while the Sky Ruins Firmament escaped into the Dark Side of the Void Sea.
• Three ninth-rank Dominators offered to let the Song Family join Red Star Continent’s trading alliance, but Song Chi rejected their proposal and withdrew from the market.
• Song Chi told Song Shiyuan what had happened, and Song Shiyuan agreed that the Song Family was not yet strong enough to join the alliance.
• Song Chi and Song Shiyuan traveled to Red Serpent Floating Continent with a seventh-rank Floating Continent Essence core and fused it with the continent’s original core.
• Red Serpent Floating Continent began advancing to seventh rank, and Song Shiyuan instructed the family to prepare their warships for advancement at the peak of the energy tide.

Song Chi successfully advanced the Sky Ruins Firmament into a Star Destroyer and upgraded his Kindling Seed to black. He then enhanced many of the warship’s components to rank 9, leaving it vastly strengthened.

• Song Chi began the Sky Ruins Firmament’s advancement when its success rate peaked at 97.006%, and the warship successfully became a Star Destroyer with an 18,000-kilometer hull.
• Song Shiyuan arrived and told Song Chi that Song Tiancong had failed to advance, while Song Tianhao, Song Yiming, Song Ze, and Song Bei and many other clan members had succeeded.
• Song Chi absorbed Capricorn Fire in Dragonwhale Hall and advanced his Kindling Seed to black.
• Song Chi checked his resources in the Myriad Heavens Market and enhanced the Sky Ruins Firmament’s components, raising many of them to level 90.
• Song Chi examined the enhanced Time Chessboard, whose time-law comprehension trait had risen to 500% and whose cooldown reduction had reached 80%.

Song Chi completed the Sky Ruins Firmament’s transformation into a planet-slayer warship and reviewed its upgraded weapons and components. After sharing the news with his star-token group, he received an offer of a powerful advancement resource from Whitebrow and admitted that his warship had already advanced.

• Song Chi installed and upgraded the Infinite Immortal-Trapping Quantum Planet-Slayer Cannon, which gained devastating attacks and abilities.
• Song Chi reviewed the Sky Ruins Firmament’s new attributes, considered its stored Overlord souls and advancement resources, and placed two drops of eighth-rank Overlord Source Blood in the clan’s Merit Tower.
• Song Chi gave Bright Moon a drop of Fire-Bathing Flame Wolf Overlord Source Blood and told the Yao Guang Star Token group that he would be busy for the next hundred years.
• The group members were astonished when Song Chi confirmed that he had become a planet-slayer warship captain.
• Whitebrow offered Song Chi Chaos Blood Viscera, a resource that improved advancement success rates, but Song Chi said his warship had already advanced and prepared to ask about the resource.

Song Chi learned from Whitebrow that the Chaos Divine Continent held rare treasures and Human Emperor City, then received a portion of Chaos Blood Viscera from her. After reuniting with Shen Youran, the story shifted to Emperor Ying and two other figures planning to use the conquered level-nine floating continents to attempt a major breakthrough.

• Whitebrow told Song Chi that the vast, mysterious Chaos Divine Continent contained rare resources, hostile native species, Chaos Nests, and Human Emperor City.
• Song Chi traded a sixth-rank Time Realm Fruit with Whitebrow for a portion of Chaos Blood Viscera and collected it at Yaoguang Star Tower.

• Emperor Ying spoke with two obscured figures aboard the Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon hyperdimensional mothership about their progress conquering the Eight-Armed Serpent Demon Galaxy Cluster.
• Emperor Ying and the others discussed using three ordinary level-nine floating continent essences and one peak level-nine essence to attempt a breakthrough, despite the danger of weakening their forces.

Xianqin's fleets converged on the Copper Serpent Floating Continent, where the Song Family accepted a dangerous assault assignment in hopes of securing Mist Half-Serpent Folk and a larger share of the spoils. Song Chi remained in seclusion, attempting to break through to tier seven, while the Fusang Dynasty considered exploiting the Song Family's expected losses.

• Xianqin's Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh advancing fleets gathered outside the Copper Serpent Floating Continent and assigned the Song Family's fleet to attack Western District Three's two level-two Serpent Demon Holy Cities.
• Song Wujiang and the Song Family agreed to take the assignment after learning the Mist Half-Serpent Folk could increase cultivation speed, and demanded a larger share of the continent's benefits if they succeeded.
• The Song Family brought Shen Youran to join their forces, then split five hundred thousand warships into five Azure Dragon Fleets and attacked both Serpent Demon Holy Cities in Western District Three.
• Sato Kawa rejected a subordinate's proposal to secretly kill Song Family elites, warning that the Song Family's connections to the Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall made such a scheme dangerous.
• Song Chi swallowed a Super-Tier Body-Tempering Potion mixed with a forty-five-thousand-year-old Deepwater Mussel Pearl and used the energy to assault the tier-seven barrier, but the attempt was still insufficient.

Song Chi failed to break through to the seventh rank despite years of waiting for the right opportunity. On Copper Serpent Floating Continent, the Song Family’s efforts to secure a mineral vein were thwarted by the Nohara Family, while Song Family leaders prepared for mounting hostility from other factions.

• Song Chi felt the seventh-rank barrier remained unresponsive and continued waiting rather than consuming his breakthrough resources while he was unprepared.
• Song Zi'ang’s squad discovered a medium-sized Redfire Iron Ore Vein after clearing Eight-Armed Serpent Demons from a mountain range.
• The Nohara Family fleet claimed the vein, pressured Song Yunfan’s squad, and forced the Song Family ships to retreat.
• Song Yunfan reported the incident, and Song Shixing and Song Xuancang discussed how four immortal factions had begun targeting the Song Family and planned to bring the recovered Asura Emperor and Four Symbols Rotary Seal to Copper Serpent Floating Continent.
• Song Yan reported that the Mist Half-Serpentfolk could only reproduce within Misty Swamp and could not apparently be cultivated elsewhere.

The Song Family conquered two second-level Serpent Demon Holy Cities and Song Xingru found the golden Blood Chalice, a strategic component that could improve warship advancement chances. After clearing West District Three and returning ahead of other factions, Song Wujiang confronted Sato Kawa as the meeting to divide the Copper Serpent Floating Continent began.

• Song Wujiang ordered the Song Family to attack both Serpent Demon Holy Cities and had the Shadow Division spread news about the Mist Half-Serpent Folk’s dependence on the Misty Swamp.
• The Song Family fleets shattered the cities’ shields and killed the four seventh-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demons guarding them.
• Song Xingru found the golden Blood Chalice, and the family decided Song Yan’s Flame-Boiling Sea would borrow it first before it passed to other qualified clansmen.
• The Song Family cleared the remaining Eight-Armed Serpent Demons in West District Three and returned to the joint fleet headquarters after two years.
• Song Wujiang reminded Sato Kawa of his promise, and the arrival of the remaining Star Destroyers signaled the start of the division meeting.

Sato Kawa distributed the Misty Swamp half-serpent people among the factions, then used a supposedly escaped seventh-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon to revoke the Dragonspine Song Family’s gains. Song Wujiang refused to submit and revealed an eighth-rank Asura Emperor, forcing Sato Kawa to hold back as the dispute threatened to escalate.

• Sato Kawa assigned the Misty Swamp half-serpent people according to the factions’ reported achievements, giving the Sato Family and Fusang imperial family the largest share while Song Wujiang silently noted the unfairness.
• The Tuoba Clan prince and other faction representatives demanded shares of the Misty Swamp’s future production, and Sato Kawa reacted with a menacing glare.
• A Fusang Dynasty Dreadnought captain reported that a seventh-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon remained on the Copper Serpent Floating Continent and had first appeared in the Western Third District.
• Sato Kawa blamed the Dragonspine Song Family, revoked its previous allocation, and ordered it to surrender all its gains; Song Wujiang mocked him and declared that the Song Family would not accept the decision.
• The Song Family revealed an eighth-rank Asura Emperor beside the Calm Sea Dragonrider, and Sato Kawa refrained from responding because an eighth-rank battle would change the nature of the dispute.

After two centuries of war and seclusion, the Song Family expanded its holdings and prepared another floating continent for advancement. Song Chi emerged with the Dragonwhale Raging Sea secret art mastered and learned that Dragonspine Continent was nearing its designated position in Crimson-Disk Galaxy.

• Song Wujiang and the Song Family forced a favorable settlement over the Misty Swamp, securing 20% of its future output and excluding factions that had supported the Sato Family.
• Over the next 150 years, the Song Family captured scattered territories across six galaxies, and Song Shiyuan proposed exchanging them to consolidate holdings around valuable capital floating continents.
• Song Yan’s Flame-Boiling Sea killed an eighth-rank Eight-Armed Serpent Demon with help from the Asura Emperor and a Meng Clan Galaxy Warship, obtaining its Origin Sacred Blood for a warship advancement attempt.
• Song Yan began advancing the Star Sea Floating Continent, explaining that the Song Family’s seventh-rank continents would eventually support Dragonspine Continent’s advancement to the eighth rank.
• Song Chi emerged from nearly two hundred years of seclusion after mastering Dragonwhale Raging Sea and perfecting his space, time, and light Origin Laws.
• Song Shixing told Song Chi that Dragonspine Continent had entered Crimson-Disk Galaxy and would reach its designated coordinates in ten or twenty years, then asked him to choose his exclusive King's Honorific.

Song Shixing approved Song Chi’s kingly honorific, the Firmament King, as the Song Family advanced its warships across Azure Verdant Floating Continent. Song Chi congratulated Song Yan, reunited with his son Song Hanyu, and then teleported back to the Eleventh Fleet at the front lines.

• Song Chi chose the honorific Firmament King, and Song Shixing praised the title and its fitting ambition.
• As Azure Verdant Floating Continent advanced to Tier 7, most of the Song Family’s warships successfully advanced, strengthening the family’s growing military foundation.
• Song Chi met Song Yan, whose Flame-Boiling Sea had advanced to a Planet Annihilation Ship on its second attempt, and learned about the Blood Chalice.
• Song Chi visited the advancing clansmen at Hidden Dragon Ridge, praised their success, and took Song Hanyu aside to reconnect with him.
• Song Chi gave Song Hanyu a Tier 4 Double-Pupil Divine Bird to form a Blood Pact with, then left Dragonspine Continent and teleported to the Eleventh Fleet at the front lines.

Song Chi emerged from seclusion and helped the Eleventh Advance Fleet capture two central-region galaxy clusters without drawing notice. Meanwhile, Brook Benjamin offered the Komoyin Giant Serpent Warlock Family the Swallowing-Moon Viper's Body in exchange for an equal-rank Star Sea Marvel, and Patriarch Herman left to consult the clan's ancestor.

• Song Chi told the Calm Sea Dragonrider clan members that he had comprehended the secret arts, and they celebrated his return.
• With the Sky Ruins Firmament supporting it, the Eleventh Advance Fleet captured two central-region galaxy clusters in just over a hundred years.
• Brook Benjamin arrived at Fang Floating Continent and met Patriarch Herman to discuss a mythical giant serpent bloodline.
• Brook Benjamin showed Herman the Swallowing-Moon Viper's Body and insisted that the Komoyin Giant Serpent Warlock Family offer a Star Sea Marvel of the same rank.
• Herman asked to consult the clan's ancestor, while Brook Benjamin wondered whether the family could meet the price or whether he would have to approach the Black Mamba Warlock Family.

Song Chi negotiated with the Komoyin Giant Serpent Warlock Family through Brook Benjamin, exchanging the Swallowing-Moon Viper's Body for a colored Mythic Pulse Star Core, two black marvels, and other benefits. The deal concluded after Song Chi offered Herman a drop of eighth-rank Abyssal Hydra source blood, while the family gained a Market Walker Token.

• Brook Benjamin brought Song Chi two colored marvels from the Komoyin Giant Serpent Warlock Family, but Song Chi rejected them because neither suited the Sky Ruins Firmament.
• Herman presented the Mythical Pulse Star Core, which could become a Mythic Pulse Energy Shield, and Song Chi accepted it as part of the exchange while demanding additional compensation.
• Song Chi offered the Komoyin family a ten-year Market Walker Token, and Herman agreed after Brook Benjamin explained the Myriad Heavens Market's benefits.
• Herman offered three golden marvels, but Song Chi declined them and asked whether a drop of eighth-rank Abyssal Hydra source blood could be traded for a black marvel.
• Herman presented three black marvels, and Song Chi offered the source blood in exchange for two of them; Herman accepted, and the family's ancestors allowed the deal.
• Song Chi obtained the Mythical Pulse Star Core, the Annihilation Blade, and the Dragonblood Chains, while the Komoyin family received the Swallowing-Moon Viper's Body, the source blood, and the Market Walker Token.
