Chapter Summaries

Feng Qi oversaw Star City's growing cooperation with the Silver Moon Race while training and preparing humanity's expeditions, then faced the end of his physical life. After bidding farewell to his friends, he transcended his body and arrived in the Main Timeline's Sea of Consciousness, where he waited to protect humanity's hope.

• Feng Qi postponed Yin Ling and Lin Ran's wedding, and Star City and the Silver Moon Race agreed to refine their legal code and coordinate construction.
• Xiao You completed two hundred Space Bracelets, allowing Feng Qi and Old Mi to begin the Expedition Plan; Feng Qi promised Old Mi forty percent of the resources the Blood Refinement Warriors recovered.
• Over the following years, Star City's West Supply Zone was completed, the Silver Moon Race and humanity developed a points-based trade and labor system, and the Blood Refinement Warriors eventually returned with resources from an unoccupied Spiritual Field.
• Fifteen years later, Feng Qi told Xiao You and Zhang Daowen he would soon leave, then held a farewell gathering with his old friends and entrusted them with Star City's and humanity's future.
• Feng Qi left his sleeping Xiao You, ascended to the Tiger Soul Research Institute rooftop, and broke free of his mortal body, transmitting his consciousness to the Main Timeline's Sea of Consciousness.

After Feng Qi left, the Mist Lord helped Xiao You establish a faith connection so she could visit Feng Qi in his Sea of Consciousness, where Feng Qi gave her a digestion Talent Ability and asked her to keep making Energy Weaving items. In the years that followed, Star City entered the Dawn era, strengthened its cooperation with the Silver Moon Race, and supported the Mist Lord's effort to rebuild Mist City.

• Xiao You grieved Feng Qi's departure until the Mist Lord brought her to Feng Qi's Hero Statue and helped her form a faith connection.
• Xiao You met Feng Qi in his Sea of Consciousness, where he asked her to keep making Space Bracelets and other Energy Weaving items and promised she could visit him again.
• Feng Qi showed Xiao You his Talent Orbit, and she chose an ability that helped her digest food faster.
• Star City renamed its calendar era Dawn, promoted Feng Qi's biography, erected his Hero Statues, and expanded cooperation with the Silver Moon Race.
• In the fifth year of Dawn, the Star City Highest Council gave the Mist Lord resources to rebuild Mist City, and Star City began planning stable Space Passages with the Silver Moon Race.

Mo Yu left his grandmother and traveled to Dawn Academy to begin his studies in the combat program, determined to become a frontline warrior like his parents. After arriving, he read Feng Qi’s message to Dawn’s descendants and renewed his resolve to face whatever suffering lay ahead.

• Mo Yu refused his cousin’s request to help retaliate against a powerful classmate because he knew he was too weak to fight him.
• Mo Yu reassured his grandmother that he would study hard at Dawn Academy and pursue his dream of fighting on the frontlines, despite her worries about losing him as she had lost his parents.
• Mo Yu left Star City South by light rail, and his grandmother’s message about enjoying her retirement and advising him to keep a low profile dispelled his sadness.
• Mo Yu traveled with other new students to Dawn Academy, passed identity verification, and entered the campus.
• Mo Yu bowed before Feng Qi’s Hero Statue and read Feng Qi’s message urging future generations to keep moving forward through suffering, which strengthened his resolve.

After the Highest Council launched the Blood Refinement Cultivation Method at Dawn Academy, Mo Yu trained in it for three months and spent four years growing into a promising combat student. At graduation, he and Yan Kong chose to join Wang Long’s battle group and head to the front lines.

• After military training, Mo Yu studied cultivation methods and learned that the Highest Council would make the Blood Refinement Cultivation Method available to Dawn Academy students.
• Mo Yu began studying the method under Chen Ji, an Expeditionary Warband captain, and spent three months training with it and receiving cultivation resources.
• During four years at Dawn Academy, Mo Yu grew stronger and began a relationship with his classmate Yan Kong.
• At the Graduation Gala, Wang Long invited Mo Yu, Yan Kong, and their classmates to join the battle group he planned to form.
• Mo Yu and the others accepted Wang Long’s invitation and celebrated their decision to head to the front lines together.

Mo Yu and the Pre-God of War Squad rose to A-rank and undertook a lengthy guard mission while a Temporary Research Station was built beside the Black Wind Domain Field. Just as the station neared completion, the Domain Field suddenly expanded, trapping the team underground and forcing them to prepare for battle.

• Mo Yu reflected on the five years since graduation as the Pre-God of War Squad celebrated its promotion to A-rank and took an official group photo.
• Two years later, Mo Yu and Wang Long organized a guard mission to protect construction of a Temporary Research Station near the Black Wind Domain Field.
• Mo Yu and the squad reached the site, cleared the woodland, built watchtowers, and established rotating shifts to guard the construction team.
• The station was built underground to study a spirit plant that could not survive long outside the Domain Field, and the mission continued for more than 150 days.
• Wang Long arrived to take Mo Yu's watch shift, but the Black Wind Domain Field suddenly expanded and Wang Long ordered everyone to prepare for battle.

Mo Yu and Wang Long led the Pre-God of War Squad through a breakout after the expanding Black Wind Domain Field cut them off and supplies ran low. After repeated battles with the Black Wind Clan, Mo Yu was gravely wounded by baleful wind and lost consciousness, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Wang Long warned that the Black Wind Domain Field was expanding over the underground station, so Mo Yu ordered the warriors to prepare and contacted the Supply Zone for help.
• After a week of waiting, Mo Yu learned that reinforcements were tied down fighting the Black Wind Clan and that their food would last only one more week, so Wang Long planned a breakout if help did not arrive.
• Four days later, with supplies nearly gone and reinforcements still unavailable, Wang Long led the Pre-God of War Squad and five Star Research Institute technicians out of the Metal Passage.
• The squad found their transport vehicles destroyed and fought several Black Wind Clan supply units, while Mo Yu changed their route to avoid the main Black Wind Clan force.
• As the last battle ended, baleful wind destroyed Mo Yu's legs and left arm; Wang Long rushed toward him as Mo Yu lost consciousness.

After losing Yan Kong, Wang Long, and his limbs in battle, Mo Yu rebuilt his life around revenge and joined the human Mechanization Modification project. His attempt to implant a Spiritual Energy Core began to kill him, but Feng Qi called to him and offered salvation in the Faith Space.

• Yan Kong carried the wounded Mo Yu to an underground plaza, where she died from her injuries before rescuers arrived and Mo Yu later learned that Wang Long and the others had also fallen.
• Mo Yu's grandmother persuaded him to study for the Tiger Soul Technology Department's restarted Mechanization Modification Project, and he passed its assessment three years later.
• Mo Yu underwent mechanization modification, replacing his missing arm and legs with mechanical limbs and renewing his determination to avenge his fallen comrades.
• Mo Yu and his colleagues developed a Spiritual Energy Core, but implanting it caused a severe rejection reaction that continued to worsen even after they removed it.
• As Mo Yu neared death, Feng Qi urged him to enter the Faith Space, and Mo Yu's consciousness reached the Sea of Consciousness, where he met Feng Qi.

Feng Qi rescued Mo Yu from a fatal mechanization experiment, then gave him access to sealed Spiritual Energy Technology data so he could advance his research. After months of developing an energy-field-constrained Energy Core and asking Feng Qi for help, Mo Yu was approached by a little girl who said the boss had forced her to work for him.

• Feng Qi brought Mo Yu into Faith Space, gave him the Natural Power Talent Ability to heal his injuries, and asked him to return once he recovered.
• Feng Qi explained that Mo Yu's mechanization research could develop into Spiritual Energy Machine modification and arranged full Database access to sealed technology data.
• Mo Yu recovered, received access to Star City's restricted data, and studied Spiritual Energy Technology to improve his mechanization work.
• Half a year later, Mo Yu restarted his research and designed an energy-field-constrained Energy Core, but he could not build a stable real-world version.
• Mo Yu contacted Feng Qi for a solution, and four days later a little girl arrived at the Tiger Soul Technology Branch laboratory, saying her boss had forced her to work for him.

Mo Yu advanced Mechanization Modification from an Energy Core embedded in his chest to a fully mechanized body, then spent years preparing to upload his consciousness into a mechanical brain. On the eve of the attempt, he visited his grandmother and Dawn Academy, accepting the risk of death as a pioneer whose work could guide those who followed.

• Xiao You wove most of an Energy Force Field for Mo Yu’s Energy Core, pausing to sleep and later stopping for the night; Mo Yu found her confidential Database record listed her age as over one hundred.
• Half a month later, Mo Yu received an Energy Core enclosed in an Energy Force Field, which fused into his chest and powered his mechanized limbs.
• Mo Yu replaced his heart with an Energy Core and transformed his body over three days, then devoted himself and his expanding team to developing brain mechanization and consciousness uploading.
• After ten years of research, Mo Yu decided to attempt consciousness uploading, despite having no confidence that it would succeed.
• Mo Yu visited his aging grandmother, who encouraged him to continue, then returned to Dawn Academy and reflected at the Feng Qi Statue before leaving to face the procedure.

Mo Yu underwent the first human brain mechanization procedure, transferring his consciousness into a Spiritual Energy Chip rather than copying his memories. He awakened in a fully mechanized body and tested its enhanced abilities, bringing himself closer to Mechanical Ascension.

• Mo Yu’s arguments and detailed manual persuaded the Star City Highest Council to support mechanization modification and double his department’s monthly resources.
• Mo Yu began brain mechanization, using a formation and Spirit Energy Technology to transfer his consciousness into a Spiritual Energy Chip.
• The mechanical brain was installed in Mo Yu’s head, and his body initialized, but he initially remained unconscious.
• Mo Yu awakened, examined his mechanized body, and tested its precise strength and enhanced senses.
• Mo Yu connected his prosthetic eyes to the Database network and retrieved detailed information about a mechanical arm.

Mo Yu tested his Consciousness Chip, upgraded his mechanized body with weapons, and began developing a Mecha that could fuse with it. After his grandmother died, he mourned her and resolved to carry on the convictions of his loved ones as humanity’s future unfolded.

• Mo Yu tested his new body's predictive abilities by evading a guard's attacks and bullets, then evaluated its physical capabilities.
• Over four years, Mo Yu and his team upgraded his mechanized body with weapons, propulsion, and defensive systems, making him stronger than he had been at his peak.
• When mechanized-body upgrades reached a bottleneck, Mo Yu began designing a Mecha that could merge with his body, and two years later his team built a thirteen-meter-tall prototype.
• Mo Yu chose to upgrade his body's Energy Core to power the Mecha rather than install a separate core inside it.
• Three days after his grandmother died, Mo Yu mourned her, remembered her influence on his life, and vowed to continue striving for humanity with the convictions of those he had lost.

Mo Yu stepped down as director of the Mechanization Modification Department after realizing that his data-driven judgment was crowding out human values, then pursued Mechanical Nanobots to fulfill his oath of revenge. By Year 116, he had created a prototype but was troubled by its weak defenses and signal-dependent control, until Feng Qi offered solutions and introduced him to Mental Immortality.

• Mo Yu resigned as director of the Mechanization Modification Department, believing his cold calculations made him unfit to lead, and devoted himself to research while renewing his resolve to avenge his fallen brothers and wife.
• Mo Yu found the sealed Black Death God Plan document and began developing Mechanical Nanobots as a new direction for Mechanization Modification.
• By Year 116, Mo Yu could disperse his right arm into nanobots and reassemble it, but their weak defenses and unreliable signal control remained major problems.
• Feng Qi told Mo Yu that Tian Shu could provide Magic-Sealing Metal to strengthen the nanobots and proposed splitting Mo Yu's consciousness among them to eliminate signal dependence.
• Mo Yu agreed to attempt the dangerous consciousness-splitting method, and Feng Qi identified it as the meditation cultivation method Mental Immortality.

Feng Qi arranged for Mo Yu to meet Tian Shu and obtain Magic-Sealing Metal for developing Mechanical Nanobots. Mo Yu left with Tian Shu’s treasures and the metal, while Tian Shu eagerly awaited Mu Yao’s return.

• Feng Qi contacted Xiao You and asked her to arrange a meeting between Mo Yu and Tian Shu at the Tiger Soul Sub-Base prison.
• Three days later, Mo Yu met Tian Shu, who revealed his rejuvenated form and asked how much time had passed.
• Mo Yu explained his mechanized body and his plan to use Magic-Sealing Metal to create Mechanical Nanobots.
• Tian Shu gave Mo Yu the Magic-Sealing Metal and his stored treasures, then learned that Mu Yao would return to see him.
• Mo Yu left with the materials, recognizing that obtaining the Magic-Sealing Metal was only the first step toward creating Mechanical Nanobots.

Mo Yu sought help finding an energy-absorbing spiritual material for his Mechanical Nanobots, and the city administrator sent Ye Kongyun to take him to Fate City. There, Mo Yu learned about humanity’s diplomatic efforts and trading network, then entered the vast Trading Market hopeful that a merchant could locate the rare material he needed.

• Mo Yu tested Magic-Sealing Metal and designed a plan to combine it with an energy-absorbing material, but could not find any suitable material in Star City’s Database.
• Unable to reach Feng Qi, Mo Yu contacted the city administrator, who arranged for someone to take him to a place where he might find the material.
• Ye Kongyun arrived at Mo Yu’s office and opened a Space Fissure with Tortoise Shell Jade, taking Mo Yu to Fate City.
• Ye Kongyun explained that Fate City’s Trading Market supplied rare spiritual materials and that humanity’s Fate Department was studying trade there for future generations.
• Mo Yu followed Ye Kongyun through the Trading Market, saw its unusual goods and inhabitants, and grew confident that a trading merchant could find the energy-absorbing material.

Mo Yu searched the Fate City Trading Market for energy-absorbing materials and secured Star City’s approval to buy Meteorite Stone for his Mechanical Nanobot project. By Year 117 of Dawn, he and the Silver Moon Race had made the first Mechanical Nanobot, leaving consciousness division as the next major challenge.

• Mo Yu rejected two unsuitable spiritual ores before finding Meteorite Stone, which testing confirmed could absorb and convert many kinds of energy.
• Mo Yu sought Star City’s support for the costly purchase, and Zhang Daowen guaranteed the project so the Highest Council approved 45 million bloodstones for it.
• Mo Yu brought the Meteorite Stone back to Star City and began developing a new generation of Mechanical Nanobots.
• With help from a Silver Moon Race elder, Mo Yu completed the first Mechanical Nanobot’s construction and watched the elder engrave a Spirit Absorption Array onto it.
• Mo Yu planned to cultivate Feng Qi’s “Mental Immortality” before dividing his consciousness among the Mechanical Nanobots.

Mo Yu completed the first mechanical nanobot and, years later, underwent the risky process of turning his consciousness into a nanobot body. After recording the new body's capabilities, he set off for the Black Wind Domain Field to take revenge on the Black Wind Clan.

• Mo Yu completed a mechanical nanobot powered by a Spirit Absorption Array and reinforced by a Stabilization Array, with a signal receiver as a backup control method.
• Mo Yu visited Feng Qi's Hero Statue before undergoing the final stage of his project, still determined to fulfill his vow of revenge.
• Mo Yu traveled to the Frontline Supply Zone, where he began splitting his consciousness and transferring it into the mechanical nanobots.
• The nanobots consumed Mo Yu's consciousness through hours of unbearable pain, then gathered into a new body the following morning.
• Mo Yu tested his nanomechanized body's abilities and recorded data for future researchers.
• After three days, Mo Yu bowed to Feng Qi's statue and flew toward the Black Wind Domain Field to attack the Black Wind Clan.

Mo Yu used his Mechanical Nanobots to devastate the Black Wind Clan and avenge his past, while his nanoscale-divided consciousness steadily dissolved. After the two-day battle, he died before Feng Qi’s statue, where his Nanobots became the Dawn Sword and preserved his legacy for humanity.

• Mo Yu entered the Black Wind Domain Field and destroyed an outpost, devouring two Element Envoys and absorbing their black wind energy.
• Mo Yu advanced on the Black Wind Clan city, repelling its attacks and unleashing stored energy to destroy stone pillars and houses.
• Mo Yu tested the Nanobots’ extreme overload, killing Black Wind Clan warriors as the clan fought to protect its elderly and weak.
• Mo Yu realized his divided consciousness was dissolving and continued fighting to provide combat data, despite knowing he could not turn back.
• After two days, most of the Black Wind Clan had been wiped out or driven away, and Mo Yu returned to the frontline plaza.
• Mo Yu knelt before Feng Qi’s statue, named himself the Dawn Sword, and vanished as his Nanobots formed a new sword in the statue’s hand.

Two centuries after Mo Yu’s era, Ji He grew up convinced that Star City’s devotion to Feng Qi and its inherited policies prevented it from adapting to new crises. After his father died on the front line, Ji He pursued administrative studies and carefully disguised his reformist ambitions as he prepared to rise through Star City’s leadership.

• In 378 of Dawn, fifteen-year-old Ji He told his teacher that Star City’s direction was flawed, while his teacher warned that they lacked the power to change humanity’s foundations.
• On Feng Qi Memorial Day, Ji He privately concluded that Feng Qi’s ideals no longer suited the new era and resolved to pursue administrative management rather than cultivation studies.
• Three years later, after his father died fighting over resources at the front, Ji He left his grieving mother and prepared to begin at Dawn Academy.
• At Dawn Academy, Ji He excelled, adopted the public appearance of a Feng Qi believer, studied management, and gained experience on the front line and at Star City’s grassroots level.
• At graduation, Ji He swore loyalty to his ideals and to humanity’s rise, marking the start of his effort to reach Star City’s decision-making ranks.

Ji He rose from the Resource Dispatch Department to become a member of Star City's Highest Council by identifying a changing trade relationship with the Silver Moon Race and creating a new system for exchanging resources. After winning the council vote, he received his medal from Zhang Daowen and set his sights on the next step toward his goal.

• Ji He earned top evaluations, reformed the Resource Dispatch Department, and was promoted to an executor for Star City's Highest Council.
• At thirty-two, Ji He became one of eight candidates competing for a vacant seat among the council's Decision Makers.
• Ji He recognized that the Silver Moon Race could supply resources and devised a trading system with separate points for humanity, the Silver Moon Race, and the Mist Race.
• After the Highest Council approved his proposal, Ji He negotiated with the Silver Moon Race's Elder Faction, and their East Supply Zone's resources were added to the system.
• Ji He won the council vote by an overwhelming margin and became a member of Star City's highest decision-making body.
• Zhang Daowen awarded Ji He the Medal of Honor and urged him to work hard.

Ji He won Lin Zhengyuan's support for reforming Star City's power structure, while preparing plans to overcome Zhang Daowen's influence. As Star City and Winter City began planning their merger, a powerful enemy from Avici Hell attacked, and Ji He learned it might be an Extremely Evil Warrior.

• Ji He reflected on Star City's inefficient decentralized power structure and decided to recruit companions, beginning with Lin Zhengyuan in the Military Department.
• Lin Zhengyuan told Ji He that he supported reform but warned he would oppose him if his actions threatened Star City's stability.
• The Star City Highest Council approved construction of Dawn City and preliminarily planned to relocate Winter City's residents to its Winter Zone.
• Ji He considered ways to persuade Zhang Daowen to withdraw from Star City's power hierarchy but decided not to use a public-opinion campaign against him.
• Lin Zhengyuan alerted Ji He that a powerful enemy was attacking from the north, and the Silver Moon Race identified it as likely an Extremely Evil Warrior escaped from Avici Hell.
