The Black Mist Matriarch arrived with a fleet of a hundred battleships and threatened to overwhelm the Star Sea Defense Line. Lin Yuan and his allies fought to buy Gu Qinghe ten minutes to prepare the Star Sea Killing Array, and Chen Ruoxi fired the Central Hub’s main cannon at the Matriarch’s flagship.

• The Black Mist Matriarch’s arrival destabilized the Star Sea Defense Line, and Lin Yuan used his Star Sea Sword Domain to hold back her pressure.
• The Matriarch struck Lin Yuan with black mist, shattering his Sword Gangkqi and wounding his hand.
• Gu Qinghe told Lin Yuan to buy her ten minutes to complete the Star Sea Killing Array, while Su Li, Aila, and Chen Ruoxi agreed to hold the line.

• The rune swords’ gray-gold Sword Intent cracked the Black Mist Shield, and Lin Yuan used the array’s cover to approach and swing his giant sword at her vital point.

Lin Yuan defeated the Black Mist Matriarch by redirecting her self-destruction into a space rift, saving the Star Sea Central Hub. After the hub detected a Mother Nest signal in the Dark Nebula, Lin Yuan absorbed purified Black Mist Origin and advanced to the fourth tier of the Embryo Transformation Realm.

• The Black Mist Matriarch began a self-destruct sequence, threatening to destroy the Star Sea Central Hub.
• Lin Yuan forged the Sword of Star Sea Protection and opened a space rift, sending the Matriarch's explosive energy into interstellar space.

• Lin Yuan absorbed the purified Black Mist Origin and gained insight into destruction as a form of the Dao.
• Lin Yuan broke through his bottleneck and advanced to the fourth tier of the Embryo Transformation Realm.

After the core team grew stronger and uncovered ways to detect and infiltrate the Black Mist forces, Lin Yuan split his fleet to defend Blue Star from the Myriad Races Allied Forces while he continued toward the Dark Nebula. His expedition was halted by violent spatial turbulence and thousands of black tentacles attacking the fleet.

• Gu Qinghe and Su Li broke through to the Embryo Transformation Realm Second Tier, Aila reached the First Tier, and Chen Ruoxi advanced to the peak of the Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Tier.
• Chen Ruoxi deciphered Black Mist energy frequencies for a detector, while Gu Qinghe found a rune that could bypass the Mother Nest's outer defenses.
• Lin Jianguo warned Lin Yuan that the Myriad Races Allied Forces remnants were gathering near the Solar System to attack Blue Star.
• Lin Yuan sent Gu Qinghe and Chen Ruoxi to defend Blue Star with the Hongmeng Space and half the defensive fleet, while he, Su Li, and Aila continued toward the Dark Nebula.
• As Lin Yuan's expedition neared the Dark Nebula, spatial turbulence shook the Curvature Channel and thousands of black tentacles struck the fleet.

Lin Yuan led the fleet through the Dark Nebula’s spatial turbulence and reached the Black Mist Mother Nest, where he and his allies confronted three powerful Black Mist Clones. The battle began with Lin Yuan quickly destroying the strongest clone, while Su Li fought another.

• Aila protected the flagship with Holy Light, while Su Li cut down the tentacled creatures attacking the fleet.
• Lin Yuan used Star Sea Sword Qi: Stable Form to calm the chaotic space and guide the fleet through the Dark Nebula.
• The fleet reached the Black Mist Mother Nest, where three Black Mist Clones emerged to block its path.
• Lin Yuan ordered Aila and Su Li to fight one clone each and attacked the strongest clone himself.
• Lin Yuan shattered the clone’s battle-ax, pierced its core, and annihilated it with Star Sea Sword Intent.
• Su Li traded hundreds of blows with a spear-wielding clone, using her Ancient Rune Longsword to wound it.

Lin Yuan and his allies gathered the Blue Star reinforcements to launch a coordinated assault on the Black Mist Mother Nest. Lin Yuan breached the Nest and reached its core, where the Black Mist Origin Core confronted him at the Embryo Transformation Realm Fifth Tier.

• Lin Yuan arrived to help Aila and Su Li, and the three of them killed their Black Mist Clone opponents.
• The enraged Black Mist Mother Nest began charging its Black Mist World-Ending Cannon as Gu Qinghe reported that the Blue Star defense line had defeated the invading fleets.
• Lin Yuan waited for the Blue Star First Expeditionary Fleet to arrive, then assigned Chen Ruoxi, Gu Qinghe, Aila, and Su Li their roles in a general assault.
• Chen Ruoxi's fleet blasted open the Mother Nest's weak point, Gu Qinghe deployed a Purification Rune Array, and Su Li cut down the tentacles guarding the breach.
• Lin Yuan entered the Mother Nest and reached its deepest region, where the Black Mist Origin Core formed a humanoid body and addressed him.

Lin Yuan destroyed the Black Mist Origin Core and returned to Blue Star, where he and his allies were honored for ending the war. He warned that new dangers remained, and the Star Sea Central Hub detected an ancient signal from an unknown civilization beyond the Defense Line.

• Lin Yuan combined the Star Sea Defense Line's power with his Star Sea Sword Domain, broke the Black Mist Universe, and killed the Black Mist Origin Core as Su Li, Gu Qinghe, and the others attacked the Mother Nest from outside.
• Lin Yuan led everyone out of the collapsing Mother Nest, then sensed an ancient presence stir in the distant Starry Sky.
• The fleet returned to Blue Star, where citizens celebrated the Black Mist Race's destruction and Lin Yuan and his companions received honors from the Dragon Kingdom.
• Lin Jianguo praised Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan reunited with Lin Ke'er at the award ceremony.
• At the victory banquet, Lin Yuan warned that preparations for war must continue because unknown threats remained.
• The Star Sea Central Hub reported an ancient, abnormal signal from beyond the Star Sea Defense Line and suspected it came from an unknown civilization.

Lin Yuan, Su Li, and Aila investigated an ancient signal pointing to a ruined planet in the Dead Silent Starfield, where a probe was disabled by an active defense system. After finding traces of an ancient battle and faint Life Energy beneath the surface, they were struck by a shockwave carrying an Unknown Civilization identification signal that seemed more like a warning than an attack.

• Lin Yuan and Gu Qinghe analyzed the signal and uncovered a fragmented star map pointing to the Dead Silent Starfield, where Su Li recognized a rune from an Ancient Warship wreckage.
• Lin Yuan ordered Chen Ruoxi to send a Deep Space-3 probe to investigate, but its signal was cut after it transmitted images of enormous ruins on an abandoned planet.
• Lin Yuan, Su Li, and Aila traveled to the starfield with ten Ancient Rune Warships and explored the planet, finding ruined cannons, metal wreckage, and undecipherable battle records.
• Aila sensed a faint remnant of Life Energy deep beneath the planet's surface.
• A powerful shockwave erupted underground and struck the fleet, while the flagship AI identified it as an Unknown Civilization signal with extremely low hostility, likely a warning.

Lin Yuan and his companions discovered an ancient warning that the Star Eater Race had destroyed the Star Sea Alliance and learned that the threat could reach Blue Star. They began searching for the alliance’s surviving inheritances, and the Star Sea Central Hub identified Bright Heaven as a promising lead.

• Lin Yuan led Su Li and Aila into an underground ruin, where Gu Qinghe deciphered a stele warning that the Star Eater Race was coming and the Star Sea Defense Line needed to be restarted.
• Dark Gold guard puppets attacked the group, but Lin Yuan’s Star Sea Sword Intent suppressed them before their leader projected an image of a creature devouring a star system.
• Gu Qinghe determined that the Star Eater Race fed on stellar energy and that the ancient Star Sea Alliance had failed to stop it.
• Lin Yuan ordered the Star Sea Defense Line repaired and expanded, then searched the Star Sea Central Hub’s database for information about the alliance’s other members.
• The database highlighted Bright Heaven, a core alliance member and representative of the Holy Civilization, and began revealing the location of its final inheritance site.

Lin Yuan and his companions found the Bright Angel Civilization’s crystal palace in the Big Dipper Galaxy, and Aila’s Holy Light opened its entrance. Inside, the Angel Consciousness attacked them as intruders, and Aila stepped forward to meet it with compassion.

• Chen Ruoxi identified the Big Dipper Galaxy as the location of the Bright Angel Civilization’s ruins, and Aila sensed ancient Holy Light there.
• Lin Yuan ordered the Hongmeng Space to follow Aila’s perception to a milky-white Holy Light Star and the crystal palace beside it.
• Chen Ruoxi could not analyze the palace’s runic barrier, so Aila used her Holy Light to open the gate.
• Lin Yuan and his companions entered the palace and followed a song to a circular hall, where the Angel Consciousness attacked them with Holy Light Judgment.
• Aila stopped Su Li from confronting the Angel Consciousness and went outside the warship to release her Holy Light.

Lin Yuan, Chen Ruoxi, Su Li, and Aila passed the Angel Civilization’s Holy Light Trial and received its defensive technology. The Angel Consciousness warned that the Star Eater Race would reach the Solar System in about a year.

• The Angel Consciousness accepted Aila’s explanation that the group had come to seek allies against the Star Eater Race and demanded they pass the Holy Light Trial.
• Chen Ruoxi overcame an illusion of Blue Star’s destruction by using Rune: Annihilation, while Su Li shattered an illusion of her family being devoured with her sword.
• Aila resisted an illusion of the Holy Knight Order’s destruction through her faith, and Lin Yuan shattered the illusion of humanity’s extinction with his Star Sea Sword Intent.
• The Angel Consciousness recognized the four and transmitted the Holy Light Barrier technology, which Gu Qinghe said could greatly strengthen the Star Sea Defense Line.
• The Angel Consciousness warned that the Star Eater Race’s main force had entered the Milky Way’s outer reaches and would reach the Solar System in approximately one year.

Blue Star began a year of frantic preparations against the Star Eater Race, while Lin Yuan’s alliance discovered the enemy’s fatal weakness and launched a plan to build a weapon capable of destroying it. The chapter ended as Gu Qinghe completed the theoretical model for the first-generation Energy Fusion Device.

• Aila and Gu Qinghe combined Holy Light and Blue Star rune technologies to strengthen the Star Sea Defense Line against the Star Eater Race.
• Chen Ruoxi modified the Hongmeng Space’s cannons with Holy Light technology, and Su Li developed a Holy Light Rune Sword Technique for elite martial artists.
• Lin Yuan coordinated the Star Sea Guardian, the Angel Civilization, and Blue Star as they prepared to turn the Milky Way into a defensive fortress.
• Lin Ke’er’s ancient jade pendant projected a Star Eater’s structure and revealed that its Core Crystal Nucleus could be destroyed by a synchronized attack combining different origin energies.
• Lin Yuan convened the Star Sea Alliance and won unanimous approval for the Star Slayer plan, assigning Gu Qinghe the Energy Fusion Device and Chen Ruoxi the cannon’s body and launch system.
• Gu Qinghe designed the theoretical model for the first-generation Energy Fusion Device.

After a fusion test failed because three powerful energies repelled one another, Lin Yuan, Gu Qinghe, and Su Li returned to the Dead Silent Starfield to find the Energy Harmonizer. They opened the Ancient Civilization Alliance’s Energy Vault and discovered the harmonizer alongside a crystal showing the alliance’s destruction by the Star Eater Race.

• Gu Qinghe’s fusion test with the Primal Chaos Origin, Star Sea Energy, and Holy Light failed when the energies triggered a dangerous repulsion.
• Gu Qinghe identified the Energy Harmonizer in the Ancient Civilization Alliance’s Energy Vault as the missing bridge for fusion, and Lin Yuan set out with her and Su Li for the Dead Silent Starfield.
• Su Li attacked the vault’s mechanical guard, but its shield repelled her strike as Gu Qinghe began decrypting the Rune Lock.
• The guard targeted Gu Qinghe, and Lin Yuan blocked its battle-ax and restrained it with his Star Sea Sword Domain while she continued decrypting.
• Gu Qinghe opened the vault, revealing a seven-colored Energy Harmonizer and a battle-record crystal depicting the Ancient Civilization Alliance’s defeat by the Star Eater Race.

Lin Yuan, Gu Qinghe, and Su Li learned from the ancient battle record that the Star Eater Race evolved by absorbing the civilizations it devoured, making the Energy Harmonizer crucial to their plan. As they escaped the collapsing ruin, a fleet from the ancient Star Sea Alliance arrived and was identified as the Mechanical Civilization.

• Lin Yuan viewed the Record Crystal and witnessed the ancient Star Sea Alliance lose to the Star Eater Race until its leader sacrificed himself to drive the creatures back.
• Gu Qinghe recognized the Energy Harmonizer as a way to avoid the alliance's past failure, but Su Li realized the Star Eater Race gained new abilities by devouring civilizations.
• Lin Yuan took the Harmonizer and Record Crystal and ordered the group to leave, but an unidentified fleet of more than three hundred ships attacked the planet and caused the ruin to collapse.
• Lin Yuan led Gu Qinghe and Su Li out of the collapsing ruin and found a silver fleet targeting them from orbit.
• Gu Qinghe decoded the fleet's signal and identified its ships as belonging to the ancient Star Sea Alliance's Mechanical Civilization.

Lin Yuan welcomed the Mechanical Civilization into the new Star Sea Alliance after Iron Guard identified them as descendants of an Ancient Alliance ally. Iron Guard warned that a Star Eater Larva would reach the Solar System in three months, while its civilization helped the alliance complete the Star Slayer Cannon’s energy core and begin building the cannon.

• Iron Guard introduced himself as commander of the Mechanical Civilization’s Seventh Expeditionary Fleet and agreed to join Lin Yuan’s new Star Sea Alliance.
• Iron Guard identified an energy synchronization flaw in the Star Slayer Cannon project and offered the Mechanical Civilization’s core technology to solve it.
• Iron Guard warned that a Star Eater vanguard led by an Embryo Transformation Realm Sixth-Layer Peak larva was heading for the Solar System and would arrive in three months.
• Gu Qinghe used Iron Guard’s technology and the Energy Harmonizer to create a stable core that fused Hongmeng, Holy Light, and Star Sea energies into Chaos Energy.
• Chen Ruoxi and Iron Guard oversaw the casting of the Star Slayer Cannon’s Dark Gold body using Star Core Metal.

Lin Yuan and the allied civilizations successfully tested the Star Sea United Cannon, then rushed to intercept the Star Eater Larva before it finished feeding on a Red Giant Star. The battle began at the jump point, where Aila and Su Li held off the larva's tentacles while the cannon charged.

• Lin Yuan, Aila, and Su Li combined their energies to fire the Star Slayer Cannon and completely annihilate the simulated crystal core.
• The group named the weapon the Star Sea United Cannon, but an alert reported that the Star Eater Larva was feeding on a Red Giant Star near the Solar System.
• Lin Yuan ordered the First Expeditionary Fleet to intercept the larva and test the cannon in battle.
• The fleet arrived to find the larva siphoning energy from the star at the Embryo Transformation Realm Sixth-Layer Peak, and it attacked with thousands of energy tentacles.
• Iron Guard began charging the Star Sea United Cannon while Aila slowed the tentacles with a Holy Light web and Su Li severed them with Sword Multiplication.

Lin Yuan destroyed the Star Eater Larva with the Star Sea United Cannon, but its distress signal awakened the Star Eater Mother Nest and triggered preparations for a galaxy-wide war. As Lin Yuan cultivated to the Embryo Transformation Realm, Fifth Layer, Lin Mengyao discovered that the Ancient Jade Pendant could summon the Ancient Civilization’s remaining power at the cost of multiple civilizations’ origins.

• Lin Yuan supplied the Star Sea United Cannon with energy, and its shot shattered the Star Eater Larva’s core and destroyed it.
• Lin Yuan sensed the larva’s distress signal, and the Star Eater Mother Nest threatened to destroy the Milky Way Galaxy.
• Gu Qinghe, Chen Ruoxi, Iron Guard, and the allied civilizations built a Milky Way Triangular Defense Belt as Lin Yuan returned to the Star Sea Central Hub and entered secluded cultivation.
• Lin Yuan refined the Star Eater Larva’s Energy Core and broke through to the Embryo Transformation Realm, Fifth Layer.
• Lin Mengyao touched the Ancient Jade Pendant and learned it could summon the Ancient Civilization’s remaining power at the cost of multiple civilizations’ origins.

Lin Yuan learned that summoning ancient remnant souls required sacrificing the origins of four civilizations and would weaken their supreme combat power, so he reserved it as a final trump card. As the Star Eater Mother Nest reached the Milky Way and unleashed a swarm of over a million bugs, Lin Yuan ordered the alliance’s layered defenses to engage.

• Lin Yuan and Lin Mengyao learned that the ancient jade pendant’s ultimate summoning ritual required the origins of humanity, the angels, the machines, and the Star Sea Guardians, leaving all four weakened afterward.
• Lin Yuan designated the summoning ritual as a last resort and ordered Gu Qinghe to develop a rapid origin recovery plan.
• The Star Eater Mother Nest arrived at the Milky Way, devoured a star cluster, grew stronger, and spawned a swarm of more than a million Star Devouring Bugs.
• The Star Eater Mother Nest sent Lin Yuan a taunting message as its swarm charged toward the Milky Way Triangular Defense Belt.
• Lin Yuan ordered the Mechanical Guard Fleet to fire, and its artillery destroyed many bugs before the rest pressed on.
• Lin Yuan ordered Su Li and Aila to lead an elite assault team against the bugs that broke through the first defense line.

The Star Sea Alliance’s defenses annihilated the Star Devouring Bug swarm, but the Star Eater Mother Nest arrived and overwhelmed them with its Devour Domain. Lin Yuan and the allied forces launched a coordinated assault, yet their strongest cannon attack was absorbed, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Aila’s Holy Light weakened the Star Devouring Bugs, and Su Li and the martial artists destroyed them across the second defense line.
• Chen Ruoxi ordered rune and Holy Light bombs to wipe out the bugs that breached the first two lines, while Lin Yuan used the Star Sea United Cannon to annihilate a mass of bugs that had fused into a giant ball.
• After Su Li killed the last bug, the Star Eater Mother Nest descended and unleashed its Devour Domain against the Milky Way Triangular Defense Belt.
• Lin Yuan ordered the alliance to engage; Iron Guard led the Mechanical Fleet into battle, and the Angel Consciousness reinforced the defense belt with the Holy Light Star’s power.
• Su Li struck the mother nest’s shield and exposed a weak point as Gu Qinghe and Chen Ruoxi adjusted the United Cannon; Lin Yuan infused it with Primal Chaos Origin and fired.
• The Star Eater Mother Nest condensed the Devour Domain into a vortex that ground down the cannon’s attack and declared the power insufficient to kill it.

The Star Eater Mother Nest burned its Source Power, reached the Embryo Transformation Realm, Ninth Layer, and shattered the Milky Way Triangular Defense Belt. Lin Yuan and the leaders of three other civilizations summoned the Ancient Civilization's supreme leader to empower the Star Sea United Cannon, destroying the Mother Nest, but a mysterious fragment remained and resisted the Alliance's tests.

• The Star Eater Mother Nest burned its Source Power, surged to the Embryo Transformation Realm, Ninth Layer, and cracked the Milky Way Triangular Defense Belt.
• Lin Yuan, Aila, the Iron Guard, and the Star Sea Guardian joined their powers through the Ancient Jade Pendant to summon the supreme leader of the Ancient Civilization.
• The ancient projection empowered Lin Yuan, who fired the Star Sea United Cannon's Ultimate Strike and destroyed the Star Eater Mother Nest.
• Lin Yuan detected a black fragment in the Mother Nest's remains and ordered an unmanned vessel to take it to the Hongmeng Space laboratory.
• Gu Qinghe found that the fragment could not be analyzed and slowly absorbed surrounding energy, while Chen Ruoxi's High-Dimensional Data Probe melted when its scan touched the fragment.
