The aliens planned to recruit the Corrosive Light-Eroding Swarm to counter Human Emperor City's Light of Order, while Human Emperor City prepared a preemptive strike. In the Kindling Ancestral Domain, Ying Yi advanced the Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon to Mythic, and Song Chi began advancing the Sky Ruins Firmament using the remaining energy tide.

Song Chi advanced the Sky Ruins Firmament into a Mythic Immortal Warship, earning recognition as the Kindling Civilization’s fifth Human Emperor, while he and Ying Yi prepared to break through their Guidance Art and reinforce Human Emperor City. At Human Emperor City, Jiang Yuan and Ji Heng planned a limited proactive strike to buy time for the other Human Emperors’ breakthroughs.

• Song Chi raised the Sky Ruins Firmament’s advancement success rate to 78 percent with rare resources and the mirrored Life Prayer Divine Sacrifice, then began its advancement without using his Calamity-Surmounting Primordial Saint-Breaking Pill.
• The Sky Ruins Firmament survived its unstable transformation and became a Mythic Immortal Warship, succeeding on its first attempt.
• Ying Yi recognized Song Chi as the Kindling Civilization’s true fifth Human Emperor, and Song Chi decided not to establish the Fifth Kindling Empire while the civilization faced external threats.

Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, and Song Chi launched a surprise raid on the allied alien camp with three concealed warship avatars, inflicting heavy losses before eleventh-rank mythic beings stopped their repeated self-destructions.

• The alien forces poured into Human Emperor City, forcing Jiang Yuan’s fleets back as the city walls crumbled and its defenders faced defeat.
• Song Chi and Ying Yi returned aboard the Sky Ruins Firmament and Immortal Qin Ancestral Dragon, and Jiang Yuan, Ji Heng, and Ying Yi fused their three Mythic warships into the Three-Corpse Transcendent Mecha Giant.

• Song Chi used the Time Chessboard to slow Mythic Asura’s opponents, then empowered Asura to peak tenth rank so it could intercept an eleventh-rank Primordial Emperor Insect as the battle intensified.

Song Chi’s forces turned the battle for Human Emperor City after Ferdinand’s Heavenly Holy Light stopped an eleventh-tier Corrosive Devouring Primordial Emperor Insect long enough for the Three-Corpse Transcendent Mecha Giant to kill it. The insect swarm retreated, and the mecha giant shifted its attention to the eleventh-tier Chaos Colossus Elephant.

• Song Chi restored the Sky Ruins Firmament and tried to keep the gravely wounded Mythic Asura alive, while the remaining Corrosive Devouring Primordial Emperor Insect charged toward the Three-Corpse Transcendent Mecha Giant.

Fifty years after Human Emperor City’s defense, the Kindling Civilization established a six-city defensive formation and discussed its guardians and war spoils.

Song Chi pursued a lead on a Mythic War Puppet Mother Tree and advanced the Myriad Heavens Market to the tenth rank, gaining peak eleventh-rank Mythic Status power. After extracting Mythic Origin Blood from a Chaos Colossus corpse and placing its bones in the Bone Tomb, he was summoned by Song Wujiang and saw a five-colored black star core that made the miniature Sky Ruins Firmament tremble.

Song Chi led the two Sky Ruins Firmaments in an assault on the War Puppet Mother Tree, battling its puppet legions while keeping their identities concealed from the Silver Goblin Empire scouts. As the Mythic Ancient Tree Domain fell and the Mother Tree revealed another eleventh-rank puppet, Song Chi used the Mirror Battleship’s Death effect to weaken a Golden-Horned Giant Whale puppet, setting up a Bone Giant’s strike.

• Song Chi revealed the two Sky Ruins Firmaments outside the War Puppet Mother Tree’s Mythic Ancient Tree Domain and fired on its barrier, cracking it with their cannons.

• The Mythic Ancient Tree Domain shattered, and the War Puppet Mother Tree revealed a third eleventh-rank Four-Winged War Puppet.
• Song Chi activated the Mirror Battleship’s Twelve-Life Life-and-Death Chess—Death effect on a Golden-Horned Giant Whale puppet, weakening it so a Bone Giant could strike with White-Bone Heaven-Burying Slash.

There he uncovered evidence of a looming catastrophe, prompting the Song Clan and Kindling Human Civilization to begin covert preparations for war.

• Kindling Human Civilization began silently preparing for war, while Song Chi used the Myriad Heavens Market to stockpile supplies in hidden Sky Ruins Song Clan warehouses.

Song Chi used three precious Starry Sky Plant Hearts to advance the Golden Apple Mother Tree to the tenth rank, then sent a Mirror Battleship to investigate nearby mythic coordinates. The coordinates led to a virus-filled nebula in Star Sea Insectoid territory, where a Primordial Matriarch prepared to capture the ship and seize its purification component.

• Song Chi infused the Golden Apple Mother Tree with the tenth-rank Evil Spirit Divine Tree Heart and Starsea Sunflower Heart, then used the eleventh-rank peak Starry Sky Extreme Yang Flower Tree Heart to push it through its mythic bottleneck.
• The Golden Apple Mother Tree became a tenth-rank mythic tree, and Song Chi confirmed it could provide tenth-rank golden apples for the Sky Ruins Firmament and the Song Clan of Heavenly Ruins.
• When the Eye of Truth revealed nearby mythic coordinates, Song Chi sent a Mirror Battleship through a space wormhole to investigate rather than risk his main body.
• The Mirror Battleship entered the territory of a Star Sea Insectoid Primordial Matriarch and spent years evading detection as it searched for the coordinates.

Song Chi guided the Sky Ruins Firmament Mirror Battleship through a spore nebula, bypassing multiple Mythic mutants to reach a tri-colored oddity guarded by a dormant virus mother body. After taking the oddity, he provoked the creature and learned from the Skyvault AI that it was the Multiversal Crystal-Wall Corruption Toadstool.

• Song Chi fought a Mythic spore-mutated behemoth, then escaped when it kept regenerating from the surrounding spores.

• Song Chi revealed the Mirror Battleship and sent the Rank 11 Bone Giant to attack the mother body while the Skyvault AI identified it as the Multiversal Crystal-Wall Corruption Toadstool.

Song Chi obtained a Soul-Devouring Altar after destroying his Mirror Battleship to stop the Multiversal Crystal-Wall Corruption Toadstool from enslaving it, though the Mirror Split Image component was badly damaged. He planned to repair the component and use the new oddity to strengthen his forces, then prepared Primordial Limitless Pills before meeting the Big Dipper Star Lord.

• The Multiversal Crystal-Wall Corruption Toadstool created its Spore Virus Divine Realm, summoned mythic spore beasts, and used Mythic Progenitor Spore Enslavement to invade the Mirror Battleship.
• Song Chi used the Mirror Split Image component's highest-authority command to cancel the link and destroy the Mirror Battleship, preventing the enslavement from reaching his main warship.
• Song Chi identified the acquired three-colored oddity as a Soul-Devouring Altar and planned to give it to Song Yan to fill its soul-devouring progress during the next expansion war.
• The Corruption Toadstool's rampage triggered a massive battle between its spore creatures and the Primordial Matriarch's insect swarm, though Song Chi did not know about it.
• After the Big Dipper Star Lord requested an audience, Song Chi refined another batch of Primordial Limitless Pills and left the market to meet him.

Song Chi traded the Primordial Limitless Pill for the Big Dipper Seven-Star Hall’s Heaven-Earth Beidou Floating Continent Formation Disk and Eight Mysteries Derivation Art. He used the art to expand Heavenly Ruins Continent’s source-core capacity, strengthened its defenses, and upgraded the Soul-Devouring Altar and Miracle Cloning Pod, preparing to boost his Mirror Battleships.

• The Big Dipper Star Lord offered the Heaven-Earth Beidou Floating Continent Formation Disk and Eight Mysteries Derivation Art in exchange for a Primordial Limitless Pill, and Song Chi accepted the trade.
