Chapter Summaries

Song Chi projected the Myriad Heavens Market into the Molten Prison Abyss, erasing hundreds of millions of demons and confronting the four Transcendent leaders after the Kindling fleet faced near-annihilation. He revealed himself as the Market’s lord to buy time, while his true body remained in the Kindling Ancestral Domain, unable to advance the Market to Tier 11.

• The Kindling fleet and its Mythic Immortal Warship avatars fought the demon tide, but three avatars fell, the Star-Crowned Radiant Eagle died, and the fleet suffered catastrophic losses.
• Divine Xia Jiuli and Sky Ruins Firmament repeatedly revived through the Time Chessboard trait as they held the front line, while the allied command headquarters remained silent about retreat.
• Song Chi contacted Jiang Yuan and ordered him to activate the Market Projection Token in Divine Xia Jiuli.
• The Myriad Heavens Market appeared over the battlefield and swept away hundreds of millions of demons, creating a vast gap in their formation.
• Song Chi addressed Heaven-Splitting God King, Eternal Ancestor, and the other Transcendent leaders, then declared himself Human Emperor of Kindling Civilization and Lord of the Myriad Heavens Market.
• Song Chi’s true body remained above the Market in the Kindling Ancestral Domain, where he recognized that he could not upgrade the Market to Tier 11 without a drop of Transcendent blood essence.

Song Chi negotiated a century-long withdrawal and compensation for the Kindling Civilization, choosing the Limit-Breaking Stone and using it to push the Bone Tomb component to level 130. The resulting Bone Giant could reach Transcendent strength, giving Song Chi a powerful advantage to prepare for the battle for the Abyssal Core in a hundred years.

• Song Chi demanded equal decision-making status, a hundred years for the Kindling Expeditionary Army to recover without frontal assaults, and compensation for its losses; the allied Transcendents agreed.
• The four allied leaders offered four seven-colored wonders, and Song Chi chose Heaven-Splitting God King's Limit-Breaking Stone after learning what it could do.
• Jiang Yuan and the Human Emperor avatars led the surviving Kindling Fleet away from the front line as the allied forces let them withdraw.
• Song Chi returned to the Sky Ruins Firmament, converted the Limit-Breaking Stone into a Limit-Breaking Seal, and targeted the Bone Tomb component.
• Song Chi enhanced the Bone Tomb to level 130, raising its Bone Giant to twelfth-rank strength, though its skeletal body integrity fell to 28%.
• Song Chi planned to advance the Myriad Heavens Market, strengthen Mirror Split Image, gather resources, and break through his Guidance Art during the coming century.

After completing his eleventh-tier breakthrough, Song Chi returned Kindling Civilization to the Abyss front with a Transcendent White Bone Giant and a vast puppet army. As the allied forces fought through the Flame-Prison Abyss, Song Chi coordinated the defense and prepared for the assault on the Abyss core.

• During the century-long recovery, Song Chi broke through to the eleventh-tier Mythic realm and offered his final Calamity-Surmounting Primordial Saint-Breaking Pill for either twelfth-tier Transcendent blood essence or a Starry Sky Plant Heart.
• At the end of the recovery period, Jiang Yuan, Ying Yi, Ji Heng, Ferdinand, and Song Chi led the restored Kindling Fleet back to the Abyss front lines alongside a newly summoned Transcendent White Bone Giant.
• The allied Transcendents accepted the White Bone Giant as an allied combat force, and Kindling took over a crucial frontline defense zone.
• In the Flame-Prison Abyss, Kindling's large puppet army and six eleventh-tier war puppets helped keep its losses lower than those of other allied forces.
• Song Chi remotely commanded the puppets and prepared for the final assault on the Ruins Abyss, where the core preventing the Abyss from ascending in dimension lay.

After the allied forces barely survived the century-long battle in Flame-Prison Abyss, they pushed into Ruins Abyss, where five allied Transcendents faced seven abyssal ones. Reinforcements from the Chaos Divine Continent briefly shifted the odds, but two hidden Transcendent Mind-Stealing Demons emerged, turned allied Starcasters against their comrades, and severely wounded the Origin Star Godmaster, leaving the allied forces in renewed danger.

• The allied forces and abyssal legions suffered catastrophic losses in Flame-Prison Abyss, and the surviving armies followed five Transcendents into Ruins Abyss.
• In Ruins Abyss, the five allied Transcendents battled seven abyssal Transcendents and were suppressed by four Chaos artifacts.
• The Ice Demon Ancestor and the Chaos artifact Frozen Heart sacrificed themselves to open a breach, allowing Father of the Sand Sea, Heaven-Burning Ancestor, and two other Chaos Divine Continent Transcendents to join the fight.
• Two previously hidden Transcendent Mind-Stealing Demons emerged from the depths of Ruins Abyss, and nine Origin Star Temple casters suddenly attacked their allied comrades.
• The Origin Star Godmaster faltered after sensing the betrayal, and a Transcendent Balrog pierced it with a demonic spear, severely reducing its strength.
• The abyss surged forward with nine Transcendents as the allied mythic ranks collapsed and the forces of despair returned.

As the Allied Forces’ transcendent fighters faltered, Song Chi brought the Sky Ruins Firmament’s main body to the Wraith Soul Mountains and revealed a second transcendent Bone Giant. The Bone Giants turned the battle against the Balrog, and Song Chi unleashed a prepared higher-dimensional strike that pierced the Balrog’s defenses and struck its core.

• The two Mind-Stealing Demons worsened the Allied Forces’ crisis by driving damaged mythic fighters mad and disrupting the Eternal Ancestor and the Mother of Myriad Machines.
• Song Chi’s first Bone Giant struggled against the transcendent Balrog as the Chaos Divine Continent reinforcements began to weaken.
• Song Chi summoned the Sky Ruins Firmament’s main body to the Wraith Soul Mountains and revealed a second transcendent Bone Giant.
• The two Bone Giants coordinated their attacks and forced the Balrog onto the defensive.
• Song Chi activated the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation with several prepared abilities, and its Primal Chaos Annihilation Strike pierced the Balrog’s defenses and struck its core.

Song Chi used the Sky Ruins Firmament to kill a transcendent Balrog, then hurriedly advanced the Myriad Heavens Market while the allied forces struggled to hold the battlefield. When the market reached the eleventh rank, its Mythic Status rose to the transcendent level, and Song Chi sacrificed two skeletal giants to save the Father of the Sand Sea and the other Chaos Divine Continent Transcendents.

• Song Chi annihilated the transcendent Balrog with the Sky Ruins Firmament and sent its corpse to the Myriad Heavens Market to refine.
• Song Chi sent two skeletal giants to aid the allied Transcendents, helping them hold off the abyss's demon and devil as the battle briefly stabilized.
• The Father of the Sand Sea and three other Chaos Divine Continent Transcendents began to lose their connection to their origin and faced imminent expulsion from the Ruins Abyss.
• Song Chi refined a drop of transcendent essence blood and used it to advance the Myriad Heavens Market to the eleventh rank, raising his Mythic Status to the twelfth-rank Transcendent level.
• As three transcendent Demon Gods attacked the weakened Chaos Divine Continent Transcendents, Song Chi's two skeletal giants self-detonated, killing one demon and severely wounding two others.

The Allied Forces killed two Abyss Transcendents and Song Chi used the Sky Ruins Firmament to summon another Bone Giant, which shattered the Abyss’s dimensional ascension core. The Abyss began an incomplete half-step ascension, forcing the Allied Forces to retreat before its new power could overwhelm them.

• The Myriad Heavens Market projection and the four Divine Continent Transcendents destroyed the two wounded Abyss Transcendents, then the Divine Continent reinforcements were expelled from the Ruins Abyss.
• Song Chi’s Sky Ruins Firmament collected three Transcendent demon corpses, and the [Bone Tomb] used their bones to summon another Transcendent Bone Giant.
• Song Chi sent the Bone Giant to attack the Abyss’s dimensional ascension core while the Allied Forces held back the five remaining Abyss Transcendents.
• The Bone Giant shattered the core, interrupting the perfect ascension but triggering an incomplete leap that raised the Bottomless Abyss to a half-step higher-dimensional realm.
• The Abyss expelled surplus origin power across the Star Sea, and Song Chi recognized that the Allied Forces had to withdraw before the ascension empowered the Abyss and suppressed outsiders.

Song Chi and the allied forces escaped the Bottomless Abyss as it became semi-high-dimensional, but more than half the survivors were trapped behind its barrier. Back in the Star Sea, Kindling Civilization prepared to expand into the coming conflict, and Song Chi agreed to divide regions with the Eternal Clan and the Titan Giants.

• The allied forces retreated from the Bottomless Abyss, and Song Chi stayed behind with the Sky Ruins Firmament, the bone giant, and the Spacetime Netherglow Dragon to cover their escape.
• Song Chi withdrew after the Kindling fleet escaped, and the Bottomless Abyss completed its transition, sealing many allied forces behind a semi-high-dimensional barrier.
• The escaped allies grieved their trapped comrades as the barrier became an impassable boundary, and the survivors began their journey home.
• Kindling Civilization held a council and resolved that its five great empires would lead expedition fleets in five directions while Mythic combatants supported them from the Myriad Heavens Market.
• Song Chi accepted a proposal from the Eternal Clan and the Titan Giants for the three Transcendent powers to occupy separate regions without interfering with one another.

After Kindling Civilization flourished for more than a hundred thousand years, Song Chi advanced the Heavenly Ruins Continent and his flagship, the [Sky Ruins Firmament], to the twelfth tier. He completed his Guidance Art and became a Mythic Transcendent Ship Captain, establishing Kindling as an independent power equal to Titan and Eternal.

• Kindling Civilization expanded its domain and gained many Mythic Ship Captains as its rulers and veteran captains advanced over tens of thousands of years.
• Song Chi emerged from seclusion with Guidance Art lv119 and joined Jiang Yuan and Ying Yi to advance the Heavenly Ruins Continent using a tenth-tier Star Continent origin core.
• After the Heavenly Ruins Continent reached the eleventh tier, Song Chi began advancing the [Sky Ruins Firmament] with Transcendent resources, repeatedly reversing failed attempts with the [Time Chessboard].
• Song Chi used the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court's accumulated Kindling Fortune, and the [Sky Ruins Firmament] successfully became a twelfth-tier Mythic Transcendent Ship.
• After ten thousand years of seclusion, Song Chi completed his twelfth-tier Guidance Art and became a Mythic Transcendent Ship Captain.
• Kindling Civilization celebrated Song Chi's achievement and stood alongside Titan and Eternal as one of the three strongest powers in the Shattered Star Sea.
