• Li Mu fought the larger Fusion Angel for hours, stopped it from escaping through a spatial jump, and captured it after its AT Field failed.

Li Mu learned that the angel race had used Trees of Life to cultivate and harvest successive generations of humanity, and that it had already been destroyed by a stronger civilization. The emergency control program revealed the angel race’s genetic blueprints and advanced Soul Field techniques, while Li Mu considered how to obtain a Fruit of Life to strengthen his own control.

• The Tree of Life spread across Blue Star and began growing new Fruits of Life and Wisdom while Li Mu considered placing humanity’s souls in a virtual world.
• As Blue Star began to collapse, it underwent an abnormal change.

• The Tree of Life destroyed Blue Star and produced a Fruit of Life and a Fruit of Wisdom, which Li Mu harvested.
• Li Mu chose to use the Fruit of Life to strengthen his body, soul, and Phoenix rather than rapidly raise his Transcendence Level, then returned to Golden Crow City with Rei Ayanami.
• Li Mu spent two days exploring the city with Rei Ayanami before sending her to the Mind White Tower to learn about the Spark World.

After confirming that powerful HuoZhong Professionals could trace his actions and counterattack, he abandoned the idea of raiding an Alien Race lair and proceeded cautiously.

• Li Mu brought Rei Ayanami to Golden House Restaurant for a meal before they would be apart for many days, then prepared to explore the Spark Phone’s newly loaded game.

• Asuka accepted the offer to enter the deeper world and prepared weapons and supplies before leaving her home.
• Asuka killed a scarlet-eyed wild cat, collected Spark Energy, and discovered that the Spark Store sold EVAs and powerful machines.
• Li Mu watched Asuka invisibly and decided to let her grow before contacting her, intending to give her the Freedom Gundam eventually.
• Li Mu explained how he had linked the Soul Source Realm’s deeper world to the Mirror World and considered moving Blue Star’s population into the realm to increase HuoZhong Source Power.
• Li Mu recalled that Phoenix Divine Metal could only be mined in the Spark World’s underground magma layer and decided to search for it despite the danger and its inflated price.

Li Mu traveled to Demon Dragon Free City to seek Phoenix Divine Metal and acquired prospecting knowledge from Raymond, whose hidden data revealed a hyperspace metal deposit guarded by a Mist Nest. After using Raymond to distract the Dragon Fang Spark Hunter Group and its rivals, Li Mu reached the swamp deposit and began drawing out the Mist Beasts.

• Li Mu entered the underground world through the fissure beside the stone sword and went to Underground City No. 5 to find a prospecting expert.
• Li Mu bought Raymond’s prospecting knowledge, then recovered deleted data showing Raymond had discovered a hyperspace metal deposit and wanted to exploit someone as a scapegoat.
• Li Mu used a Nightmare Projection to control Raymond, who sold false deposit information and placed a bounty on the Dragon Fang Spark Hunter Group, provoking its enemies and deceived buyers.
• Li Mu traveled in disguise to the swamp where Raymond had found the deposit and used Clairvoyance Spark to locate the meteorite and the Mist Nest inside it.
• Li Mu transformed a layer of swamp sludge into crocodiles to lure out the Mist Beasts guarding the nest.

Li Mu hunted the swamp’s Mist Beasts, using his spells and traps to defeat the Swamp Giant Frogs and Swamp Eels. After absorbing their Spark Energy, his Transcendence Level reached LV18, and the chapter ended with him wiping out the Swamp Eels.

• Li Mu lured Swamp Giant Frogs to the surface with crocodiles, then petrified their mouths and burned them from within with Fiendfyre hummingbirds.
• After killing the last Swamp Giant Frog, Li Mu’s Transcendence Level rose to LV18, and he spent three Free Attribute Points to raise Nirvana to LV7 and gain its first trait.
• Li Mu retreated from the swamp when Swamp Eels with spatial abilities emerged, then made a cave and attacked them from the Mirror World.
• The Swamp Eels regenerated after Li Mu severed their heads and counterattacked with spatial spikes, so he lured hundreds of them out of the swamp with Space Nanobugs.
• Li Mu used group Apparition, Anti-Apparition, and the Spear of Destiny to drain and kill the Swamp Eels before their heads could reunite with their bodies.

Li Mu fought through the Mist Nest’s defenders and discovered that the intelligent Six-Tailed Demon Fox could overpower the Phoenix. He exploited the connection between the Mirror World and reality to frighten the fox into fleeing, leaving the Mist Nest unresolved.

• Li Mu killed the Marsh Soul Bees, survived the queen’s fatal Soul-Stinging Thorn through Nirvana, and obtained the green Soul-Stinging Thorn Spark skill.
• Li Mu disconnected from the network to attack the Mist Nest safely, but the Six-Tailed Demon Fox killed him and triggered a Mirror World reset.
• Li Mu reconnected, disguised himself as a Marsh Soul Bee, and infiltrated the Six-Tailed Demon Fox’s excavation of the meteorite.
• Li Mu ambushed the Six-Tailed Demon Fox with the Phoenix, but its six-element attacks repeatedly destroyed the Phoenix until Li Mu withdrew from the Mirror World.
• Li Mu repeatedly entered and exited the Mirror World, making the fox’s attacks manifest in reality against no visible target, until the frightened Six-Tailed Demon Fox fled.

Li Mu captured the Mist Nest, converted it into an orange Heaven Grade Spark, and discovered its ability to generate resources and Mist Beasts. The chapter ended as an unprecedented blood-red bee-type Mist Beast hatched from the nest.

• Li Mu collected the meteorite and its ores while the Six-Tailed Demon Fox fled after being frightened by battles in the Mirror World.
• Li Mu refined the ore and recovered twelve tons of hyperspace metal, then used two tons of it to buy enough HuoZhong Source Coins for Fantasy Conversion.
• Li Mu converted the Mist Nest into an orange Heaven Grade Spark that generated HuoZhong Source Power, hyperspace matter, and an internal nest space.
• Li Mu fed the Mist Nest an assortment of resources to produce a Level 40 bee-type Mist Beast.
• The Shipborne Optical Computer found no public records matching the blood-red bee that hatched.

Li Mu strengthened his Nirvana Talent, absorbed the Lava Red Lotus Flame and Fiendfyre into his Nirvana Flame, then raided a volcano to hunt its molten lizards. After killing more than ten thousand of them, he reached Transcendence Level 20 but was left with nearly depleted Mental Power.

• Li Mu produced Mist Beasts in the Mirror World, killed them for Spark Energy, and used the resulting Free Attribute Point to raise Nirvana to LV8.
• Li Mu bought a cyan-quality Lava Red Lotus Flame seed and absorbed it into his Nirvana Flame, gaining access to its extreme heat and the traits of absorbed flames.
• Li Mu fused Fiendfyre into the Nirvana Flame and gained its powerful burning trait.
• Li Mu traveled to Raymond's dormant volcano, where over ten thousand molten lizards attacked him with a sea of flames.
• Li Mu used the Spear of Destiny, covered in Nirvana Flame, to kill the molten lizards over fifteen hours and reached Transcendence Level 20.

After recovering from the battle with the Molten Fire Lizards, Li Mu descended into the magma layer to search for Phoenix Divine Metal. He found and avoided a powerful Steel Snake Dragon, then used injured lava beetles to locate three small deposits, leaving with less than two grams of refined metal.

• Li Mu checked his improved attributes, planned to give the Resurrection Ring to Rei Ayanami, and spent a day collecting the Molten Fire Lizards’ hearts.
• Li Mu descended into the magma beneath the underground world and used Clairvoyance Spark to search for metal-eating Mist Beasts.
• Li Mu discovered a LV50 Steel Snake Dragon and retreated rather than risk fighting it.
• Li Mu found lava beetles around LV30, injured them with group Apparition, marked them with a Tracking Spell, and disguised himself as one of them.
• Li Mu followed the injured beetles and eventually found three portions of Phoenix Divine Metal, totaling less than two grams after refinement.

Li Mu built a wormhole-linked base in the magma layer and created little miners to gather Phoenix Divine Metal, but the slow pace of mining led him to seek HuoZhong Source Power in another world. He entered the world of Ender's Game and began exterminating its insectoid civilization, destroying a colony planet's forces and queen.

• Li Mu built a Core Light Iron survival base in the magma layer and connected it to Golden Crow City with a wormhole.
• Li Mu hired Sea Burial to decode six Mist Beast genetic maps, then used the Angel Bible to create little miners that could withstand magma and find rare metals.
• Li Mu expanded his mining operation to one hundred little miners but judged that gathering enough Phoenix Divine Metal and HuoZhong Source Power would take too long.
• Li Mu traveled to the Ender's Game world, intending to turn its insectoids into HuoZhong Source Power, and sent the Phoenix toward their nearest colony planet.
• Li Mu attacked the insectoid mothership with the Void Realm Starshatter Cannon, then fought off the insectoid fleet while remaining protected by Absolute Territory and Nirvana Flame.
• Li Mu rammed through the insectoid mothership and burned it and the insectoid queen to ashes.

Li Mu used Phoenix’s abilities and new tactics to devastate the insect fleet at the second colonial planet. After destroying three insect motherships and trapping another, he left the battle celebrating a successful counterattack that redirected an enemy’s devastating energy blast.

• Li Mu arrived at the second colonial planet and found five insect queens and millions of fighters gathered there.
• Li Mu used Apparition and Freedom Gundam’s imaginary space to approach an insect mothership, then trapped it with Absolute Territory and destroyed it with Void Burst Bombs.
• Phoenix accelerated into a third insect mothership, smashing it apart and killing its queen in the collision.
• The remaining insect forces formed a shield around their motherships, and one mothership fired an energy attack that broke Absolute Territory.
• Li Mu swallowed the energy blast with Phoenix and redirected it through the Void Realm Starshatter Cannon, destroying the mothership and surrounding insect fighters.
• Li Mu celebrated the success of his new counterattack tactic, which required precise timing to avoid destroying Phoenix.
