• Aiden’s four armored guards charged Shi Lan, but her restrained true essence shattered their bones and sent them crashing into the mine walls.

Shi Lan secured Aiden Morbray’s help in finding a faster ship to return to her homeland after effortlessly defeating his mech in a spar. At the spaceport, Aiden offered her a secret evolution serum, which she recognized as containing rich life energy.

• Aiden Morbray stopped his mechs from attacking Shi Lan, apologized for Muer, and agreed to help her find a starship.

• Shi Lan agreed to assist Aiden and his family in exchange for a long-term supply of energy crystals, and Aiden presented her with a ninth-generation Grade B evolution serum.

Shi Lan learned that B-grade evolution fluid could extend her lifespan and sought to meet Ressa, head of the Morblay family, to discuss a possible partnership. Three days later, she arrived at the Morblay main planet with Li Canglan, who would handle the negotiations.

• Shi Lan absorbed the evolution fluid, discovered it had extended her lifespan by about a hundred years, and asked Aiden whether it could be mass-produced.

• Shi Lan absorbed the blood essence of disassembled Supremes to strengthen her cultivation and prepare for a long wait before returning to the Lingyang Realm.

• Shi Lan approved the contract, which exchanged the Morbray Lineage’s energy crystals and evolution potions for military support from the Tianyan Sect.
• Li Canglan reported that energy crystals greatly accelerated cultivation and that evolution potions strengthened bodies while reducing life essence, so Shi Lan left their use to each disciple’s choice.
• Li Canglan told Shi Lan that her requested spacecraft had arrived at the port.

Shi Lan left for the Lingyang Realm with supplies and a crew, while Taishi enfeoffed her as Peerless King and granted her Chengtian Domain. The decree stirred speculation across Shenzhou, and Yun Shun questioned Shi Feng about his past with Shi Lan as unease grew over her rise.

• Shi Lan departed aboard Resa’s compact spacecraft with supplies and a crew, leaving Shen Tu Jinglong and two thousand Tianyan Sect disciples behind.
• Liu Yunzheng drafted Taishi’s decree naming Shi Lan Peerless King, and the Human Race’s historical records located her far away.

Shi Lan’s spacecraft detoured around a vast life-bearing great world, while Qing Lan survived the Gate of Life tribulation and prepared to found the Heavenfire Immortal Dynasty. Two years later, Shi Lan remained uncertain which powerful beings to imprint into her Imperial Dao Domain when a violent impact shook the spacecraft.

• Shi Lan agreed to help Samsara find someone after they returned to the Outland Battlefield.

• A violent tremor struck Shi Lan’s spacecraft and tilted it sharply.

Shi Lan defeated and captured Sog, a lower god who attacked her and called her a blasphemer. She learned that a brand on her linked her to higher gods and could draw their attacks, then fled the star region with Bai Yu while questioning Sog about the gods and their domains.

• Shi Lan found that a three-headed, four-armed being named Sog had attacked the spaceship, and she moved Karin and the damaged ship to an enormous inhabited world.
• Shi Lan fought Sog in her Imperial Domain, pierced his body with the Crimson Crow War Halberd, and captured him with her Primordial Spirit after he tried to flee and summon reinforcements.
• Sog told Shi Lan that she bore a blasphemer's brand and that he was a lower god; Shi Lan suspected the brand came from a statue and its world crystal she had taken from reincarnators.
• Shi Lan suppressed Sog in the Qiong Luo Realm and left the region with Bai Yu, who carried the realm through space because the brand could draw attacks from gods.
• Sog said the brand would remain until the god who placed it and its believers were eliminated, and he told Shi Lan that thirteen chief gods governed separate star systems, with three more systems nearby.

Shi Lan and Bai Yu escaped the pursuing Main God only after Chu Hanzhou and other human experts arrived to protect them. The Main God tried to retreat, but Chu Hanzhou declared that it would pay with its life for wounding a human prodigy.

• Shi Lan fired the World-Burying Bow at the Main God, wounding it but failing to kill it, while Bai Yu struggled to defend her from its attacks.
• Chu Hanzhou received Shi Lan's shattered jade talismans and summoned reinforcements; he and more than a dozen human experts arrived, shielded the Prison Dragon Cauldron, and confronted the retreating Main God.

Chu Hanzhou and thirteen Human Emperors rescued Shi Lan from the chief god, sealing the deity inside the silver sword box after its true body was struck. Shi Lan learned she could no longer return to the Lingyang Realm, received the title of Peerless King and Chengtian Domain as her fief, and set out to continue cultivating in the greater universe.

• The chief god attacked a Human Emperor, but the Human Emperors shattered His manifested body and Chu Hanzhou used the sword box to expose and strike His true body.

• Liu Yunzhen confirmed that Shi Lan was safe, while Grand Beginning left without explaining why he had used the Human Race's historical records to save her.

• Taishi told the young man that martial cultivation might not suit him and offered to send him to the Shenwu Great World, where a senior could help him.

After returning to the Morbray Starfield, she learned how the Interstellar Federation exploited cultivation civilizations and left Reza with the prospect of discussing whether the Morbray family could control the Federation when she returned.

• Shi Lan stopped using the Asura Clan's battle blood for her own cultivation, and Samsara proposed obtaining resources by accessing an advanced system's backend and requesting a false mission allocation.

Shi Lan reached the Divine Martial Great World and confronted Qing Lan, her independent incarnation, after learning how the Lan Clan and Heavenly Fire Immortal Dynasty had changed. Shi Lan freed Qing Lan from her system binding and let her live, then set out to explore the world while Qing Lan began planning a new sect residence.
