Li Mu established Golden Crow City on a promising life star, prepared it for development, and began exploring unclaimed star systems for resources and military merit. After months of poor results, Helena used the Abyss Heart to identify a meteorite that came from a potentially valuable place, giving Li Mu a new way to find promising systems.

• Li Mu used Heart Sense Perception to select a life star, then moved Golden Crow City there and bought resources, including a Miracle Ancient Tree seed, to develop the planet.
• Li Mu built ten King-class Cruiser dockyards and set out in the Phoenix to explore the main universe, sending Blood God Spawns to crew the cruisers.

• Li Mu told Helena about his fruitless exploration, and she used the Abyss Heart to investigate a planet.
• Helena traced a meteorite to a very special place, and Li Mu realized meteorites could help him locate potentially valuable star systems.

Li Mu investigated a lightless star system covered in black mycelium and learned that the filaments were shed hairs from a Super Life of at least LV70. He deceived the Ghost Knight Order into signing a new contract and led them toward the system’s core, where he discovered the Super Life was a spherical fungal creature.

Li Mu and the Ghost Knight Order battled the Star-Devouring Spore, a super lifeform whose evolving power far exceeded its apparent level. After weeks of attrition, they killed it and escaped its collapsing body, leaving half the star system engulfed in darkness.

• Helena identified the Star-Devouring Spore and warned Li Mu that it was pretending to sleep while evolving.
• Li Mu tested Phoenix against the creature, but its attacks overwhelmed Phoenix, so he sent 261 Blood God Spawns to give the Ghost Knight Order physical bodies and stacked auras onto them.
• Jones led the Ghost Knight Order in attacking the Star-Devouring Spore while Li Mu and Phoenix restrained its star rings and supported them.
• After the creature unleashed a dark domain and tried to teleport away, Li Mu suppressed it with the Spacetime Source Core as the Ghost Knight Order continued wearing down its defenses.
• Li Mu and the Ghost Knight Order exposed the Star-Devouring Spore’s core, and Jones extracted its soul with Ghost Grip while Li Mu captured its body in the Bone Blood Gourd.

He returned to Golden Crow Star to prepare for the Spark Alliance’s assessment on artificial fire-seed technology, then dug up the dormant Miracle Ancient Tree seed and considered traveling to another world to transform it.

• Li Mu sent Jones and the 260 Ghost Knights to conquer the Holy Stone Homeworld, while a giant Holy Stone Clan member attacked and then fled toward the star to charge a destructive attack.
• Li Mu interrupted the giant’s attack with the Phoenix, battered it with Void Realm Shells, and drove it into the star after it abandoned its main shell.
• Li Mu used the Blood Source Gourd to devour the Holy Stone Homeworld and the depleted neighboring planet, then damaged the star until the giant Holy Stone Clan member emerged and fled.

• Li Mu found a nearby expedition request on the Spark Network, signed a Spark contract, and piloted the disguised Phoenix into a star system littered with battle wreckage, where three Spark battleships were docked nearby.

Li Mu joined Yuan Hongzhuang’s hunt for an aberrant monster civilization, then used the Golden Crow’s fleet and the ancient Star God Totem to kill one of its two star-devouring monsters. He pursued and captured the other monster king with the Eight-Armed Serpent Dragon, leaving the group to see whether the spoils would cover the cost of controlling it.

• Yuan Hongzhuang showed Li Mu how aberrant monsters had destroyed her battleships and explained that their civilization might be led by a being above LV80.

• Li Mu used the Eight-Armed Serpent Dragon to collect the treasury's treasures and dismantle the war fortress's superpowered warship production line before the fortress turned to ash.
• Li Mu inspected the recovered resources, superpower fruits, HuoZhong, and Star Life Origin Blood, then identified the red Void Key as a one-time key to the Dominator Battlefield.

Li Mu submitted the Spark Machine Spirit’s manufacturing technology to the Spark Alliance and received enough battle merits to become a first-class marquis.
