Chapter Summaries

Li Mu used the Phoenix to draw the Precursors away from their forward base, then sent brainwashed Precursors and Kaiju to attack it. The Cardinal countered the assault, but Li Mu’s hidden nuclear bombs exploded, leaving the Thunder Serpent King emerging from the blast with a metal flying saucer in its jaws.

• Li Mu sent the Phoenix to attack the Precursors near the royal city, drawing thousands of Kaiju into pursuit.
• Li Mu released sixty-nine brainwashed ambassador-class Precursors, who unleashed more than seven thousand Kaiju against the forward base.
• The Cardinal raised the base’s energy shield, discovered the attackers had been brainwashed, and awakened a Level 10 Kaiju through his Precursor Light Wheel.
• The Cardinal’s summoned Kaiju could not escape the Light Wheel because of spatial interference, so it destroyed the wheel from within and entered the battle.
• Li Mu dispelled the Polymorph Spell concealing nuclear bombs, and the Cardinal disabled their electronic detonators but could not stop the mechanically triggered bombs.
• Several nuclear bombs exploded, and the Thunder Serpent King endured the blast and pulled a metal flying saucer from the mushroom cloud.

Li Mu and the Red Cardinal survived the nuclear blast aboard the Thermal Battleship, which then helped the Thunder Serpent King fight the brainwashed Precursors’ Kaiju. The Thunder Serpent King endured two close-range nuclear explosions, but remained alive and rapidly healed as the battle continued.

• The Red Cardinal teleported the Precursors into the Thermal Battleship just before the nuclear bomb detonated, and the ship survived the blast.
• The Thunder Serpent King superheated the Thermal Battleship, which scorched many Kaiju before retreating as both sides suffered heavy losses.
• The Red Cardinal used the Thermal Battleship’s thermal beams to help the Thunder Serpent King pursue a Thunder Eagle King.
• The Thunder Eagle King detonated a concealed nuclear bomb while grappling with the Thunder Serpent King, killing itself and badly injuring its opponent.
• Two more Thunder Eagle Kings detonated nuclear bombs against the Thunder Serpent King, which lost part of its head and sustained an abdominal wound but began recovering.

Li Mu destroyed the Precursor Thermal Battleship, forward base, and wormhole generator with nuclear bombs, then escaped with valuable spoils. The Phoenix was captured and taken to the Precursors’ Royal City, while Li Mu enhanced Mental Contamination to level 10 and unlocked its Contamination Enhancement feature.

• Li Mu detonated a disguised Seed Alchemical Nuclear Bomb inside the Thermal Battleship, killing the Red Cardinal and the Precursors aboard.
• The Thunder Serpent King followed brainwashed Precursors into the Artificial Wormhole Generator, where a fake Precursor Light Wheel exploded and Li Mu was reborn in a Nirvana Flame.
• Li Mu collected two HuoZhong and the damaged Thermal Battleship, gained nearly sixty thousand cards of HuoZhong Source Power, and fled the area.
• Several hundred Precursors crippled and captured the Phoenix, taking it to the Royal City to be studied by three Precursor Archbishops.
• Li Mu learned Mental Contamination and spent forty-five thousand calories of HuoZhong Source Power to raise it to level 10, unlocking the Contamination Enhancement feature.

Li Mu fused with the Core Wormhole Spark and disguised himself as the Red Cardinal he had killed, using fabricated memories to explain the destruction of Blue Star Forward Base. As the Precursors prepared a planet-wide search for the supposed alien, Li Mu traveled to another forward base and persuaded its Red Cardinal to let him use the wormhole generator.

• Li Mu fused with the Core Wormhole, a Miracle Building that could create spatial wormholes and increase Spark Energy density in Spark Cities.
• Li Mu disguised himself as the dead Red Cardinal and fabricated memories blaming the base’s destruction on an alien who had controlled ambassador-level Precursors and destroyed the wormhole generator.
• Two Red Cardinals arrived at the devastated Blue Star Forward Base, believed Li Mu’s memories, and reported the incident to the Archbishop.
• The Archbishop ordered Command Towers distributed across the planet and resources delivered to create powerful Kaiju, prompting Li Mu to act quickly.
• Li Mu separated from the reinforcing Red Cardinals and traveled to another forward base, claiming he needed its wormhole generator to create level-ten Kaiju.
• The Red Cardinal at the second forward base accepted Li Mu’s offer to reveal his memories and warmly led him inside.

Li Mu brainwashed the Red Cardinal and the Precursors at the Monster Forward Base, then activated a wormhole to Monster Planet and escaped as the Third Archbishop arrived. He left the Archbishop fearing that Li Mu would return with a fleet to destroy the Royal City.

• Li Mu used Mental Contamination, mental overload, and the Imperius Curse to take control of the Red Cardinal, then healed himself through Nirvana and made the Cardinal his puppet.
• The Red Cardinal summoned all thirty-five Ambassador-level Precursors in the Forward Base, and Li Mu brainwashed them without resistance.

• The Third Archbishop recalled the Kaiju and steered his Thermal Battleship toward the wormhole.

Li Mu fought the Third Archbishop, discovered that the Archbishop redirected damage to his Kaiju, and used a hydrogen bomb inside the Precursor Light Wheel to destroy it. Li Mu revived in Nirvana Flame, while the Third Archbishop escaped the explosion.

• Li Mu’s Seed Alchemical Nuclear Bomb failed to detonate when the Third Archbishop’s crown suppressed it, and the Third Archbishop attacked Li Mu with a scepter.
• Li Mu tried several spells against the Third Archbishop, realized the Archbishop was redirecting damage, and lured him into a transformed Thermal Battleship.
• Li Mu let the Third Archbishop smash his body, then used a failed Apparition to tear away the Archbishop’s arm and scepter before reviving inside the Precursor Light Wheel.

• The Third Archbishop escaped the blast, and Li Mu resurrected again amid the Nirvana Flame.

Li Mu seized the Glorious Scepter, a civilization marvel, after overcoming the Third Archbishop’s resistance, then recovered from the soul damage it had caused. The Third Archbishop was cut off from reinforcements, while Li Mu began searching Monster Planet for the Third High Bishop.

• Li Mu escaped the hydrogen bomb’s thermal radius, took the Glorious Scepter from the Precursor Light Wheel, and used Mental Contamination and the Imperius Curse to seize control of it.
• Li Mu learned that the Glorious Scepter was a declining civilization marvel of the destroyed Evil Giant Race, capable of granting damage-transfer and soul-shattering authorities.
• Li Mu stored the scepter, ordered the Precursors to release their Kaiju and guard the wormhole, then slept while his Spark Brain repaired his soul.
• The Third Archbishop discovered that the wormhole had vanished and decided to contact the other archbishops, possibly waking the Pope, before attempting to hunt the aliens.
• After recovering with help from the Spark Brain and potions prepared by Snape, Li Mu searched for the Third High Bishop, then sent flying Kaiju to scatter Space Nanobugs across Monster Planet to locate him.

• Li Mu destroyed the Third Archbishop’s soul with the Glorious Scepter, freeing the Dragon Eagle King from possession.
• The Third Archbishop’s Nightmare Crown appeared on Li Mu’s soul, and Li Mu used True Disguise to take control of it and the Archbishop’s remaining soul.
• Li Mu examined the Nightmare Crown’s powers and learned that its ability to alter superficial world rules required a far more powerful user.
• Li Mu waited for the Precursors to repair and restart the wormhole while bringing the Third Archbishop’s soul under his control and learning his memories.
• Li Mu took control of the Third Archbishop’s Thermal Battleship, placed the Precursors in Azkaban, and piloted the ship through the stabilized wormhole.

Li Mu used his position as Third Archbishop to prepare the Precursors to leave their planet while secretly controlling Ambassador-class Precursors. At the Royal City, he killed the Second High Priest and turned the assembled Precursors against the First High Priest, who fled aboard the Thermal Battleship.

• Li Mu convinced the Second Archbishop that an alien threat justified awakening the Pope and thoroughly screening the planet.
• Over half a month, Li Mu secretly brainwashed Ambassador-level Precursors as the Global Command Tower screened the planet and the Precursors stripped it of resources.
• Li Mu traveled to the ruined Royal City with the other Precursors and saw the four surviving Evil Giant buildings, including the Pope's palace.
• More than nine hundred Ambassador-class Precursors attacked the Second High Priest while Li Mu destroyed his soul with the Glorious Scepter.
• The Ambassador-class Precursors turned on the First High Priest, who escaped the Royal City aboard the Thermal Battleship.

Li Mu pursued the fleeing Thermal Battleship and discovered that the First Archbishop was hiding inside one of several escaping level 10 Kaiju. After using Felix Felicis to improve his chances, Li Mu found and attacked the Archbishop’s Dragon Eagle King, which escaped with the fight still underway.

• Li Mu chased the Thermal Battleship in the Phoenix, but a level 10 fleshball Kaiju intercepted him and self-destructed as he escaped its spatial interference.
• Li Mu realized the First Archbishop was likely hiding inside one of nine Kaiju scattering through space, so he sent Dragon Eagle Kings, the Phoenix, and projected copies after them.

Li Mu watched the Pope emerge after the Precursors and Kaiju in the Royal City died, then learned that the Pope had used their deaths to temporarily suppress his injuries. The Pope attacked Phoenix, but Li Mu struck him with the Glorious Scepter’s Killing Curse before he escaped onto an Evil Giant.

• The last Red Cardinal died, and the surviving Precursors and Kaiju were killed as their toxic mist flowed into the Pope’s palace.

• The Pope’s Evil Giant blocked the laser and teleported beside Li Mu, who thrust the Glorious Scepter at him.
• The Pope seized the scepter and was struck by the Killing Curse with Soul Shatter, then teleported onto an Evil Giant after surviving the blow.

Li Mu pursued the fleeing Pope and used the Nightmare Crown and Phoenix to kill him. The Evil Giant’s skeleton and a fragment of brain tissue survived, and Li Mu narrowly resisted an urge to mentally contaminate the fragment.

• The Pope fled aboard the Evil Giant, and Li Mu pursued in the Phoenix, using Nightmare Projection to contaminate the Pope’s mind.
• The Pope slowed down and tried to invade Li Mu through the Nightmare Projection, but the attempt failed because the Nightmare Crown no longer had a connection to the Evil Giant.
• Li Mu unfolded the Nightmare Domain, deactivated the Phoenix’s Thorn Energy Shield, and let the Evil Giant expose itself to the Nirvana Flame.
• The Phoenix burned away the Evil Giant’s poisonous mist and crushed the Pope, whose mind and soul fell into the Evil Giant’s body.
• Li Mu used the Glorious Scepter and the Red Lotus Laser Cannon to destroy the Pope’s soul, but the Evil Giant’s skeleton and brain fragment remained intact.
• The HuoZhong Codex recorded the Pope’s Spark, and the Nightmare Crown stopped Li Mu from mentally contaminating the surviving brain fragment.

Li Mu created Golden Crow City by fusing the ruined Royal City with a Blank Spark and the Mind Wizard Inheritance Spark, then returned to Black Goat Free City. After learning the Evil Giants' brain was awakening inside its valuable skeleton, he planned to seek a support professional before attempting Mental Contamination and continued investigating how new Spark Cities gained their populations.

• Li Mu turned the Royal City into a semi-finished City Spark with the Blank Spark, then fused it with the Mind Wizard Inheritance Spark and named it Golden Crow City.
• Li Mu discovered the Core Furnace had become an Orange Earth Grade Miracle Building and fused the Wisdom Spark into the Shipborne Optical Computer.
• Li Mu used the Core Wormhole to send a modified Level 9 Kaiju to Blue Star, sent selected Evil Giants' inheritance to the Academy of Sciences, and returned to Black Goat Free City.
• Li Mu appraised the Evil Giants' skeleton and learned its preserved brain was drawing power from the bones and could awaken into a dangerous creature.
• Li Mu decided to find a support-route HuoZhong Professional and prepare before using Mental Contamination on the brain, while continuing to investigate how new Spark Cities acquired populations.

Li Mu earned a red-quality Flower Fairy Blessing that blocked harmful prophecy and let him use flowers he planted for healing and purification. After using it to help control the Evil Giant’s brain, he uncovered memories of a mysterious flame-armored giant destroying the Evil Giant Royal City, while the flowers in his cavern began growing back from their seeds.

• Li Mu completed the Life Garden’s tasks, and the girl in white and the shopkeeper secretly gave him the Flower Fairy Blessing before leaving on a Seedship.
• Li Mu discovered that his First Origin HuoZhong had advanced to Heaven Grade and that his new blessing blocked harmful prophecy and drew healing and purification power from flowers he planted.

• Li Mu examined the Evil Giant’s brain and saw memories of a white-flamed giant destroying the Royal City before vanishing.
• Li Mu used the Flower Fairy Blessing to reduce the Evil Giant’s lingering hatred and fear, and the withered flowers began sprouting again from their seeds.

Li Mu refined the Evil Giants' remains into a Horcrux clone, then entered a Spark Instance to begin his Spark City application. After learning the instance's history and survival mission, he disguised the Phoenix as a Three-Legged Golden Crow and prepared to search for surviving humans.

• Li Mu bought the Golden Crow Visualization Technique, cultivated a Three-Legged Golden Crow Secondary Soul, and used it to refine the restored Evil Giants' remains into a Horcrux clone.
• Li Mu bought Phoenix Divine Metal and Spark Energy blocks, then contacted the Gaia Consciousness and entered a Spark Instance to establish a city.

• Li Mu decided to use the Deep Space Radar to find the survivors but kept the Phoenix hidden by transforming it into a Three-Legged Golden Crow.

Li Mu discovered a white goat herd threatening the survivors near Black Goat Free City and joined forces with Wang Tie’s sky-based survivor base. After training and recruiting survivors, he began rescuing hidden groups underground, growing the base to more than five thousand people while the white goats remained a danger.

• Li Mu detected a white goat pursuing the Phoenix and found human survivors living in structures suspended beneath a lightning-absorbing metal ring.
• Li Mu convinced Wang Tie’s White Goat Survivor Base that he was not a threat, then taught its survivors the Spark Meditation Technique and Spark Body Tempering Technique.
• Li Mu learned that a herd of fifty white goats, led by one around LV50, dominated the surrounding wilderness and hunted humans hiding underground.
• Li Mu assigned Song Lei to watch the herd and used his Thousand-Mile Sight to locate hidden survivor tunnels.
• Li Mu rescued more than a dozen underground groups with his miniature house, expanding the survivor base to over five thousand people in half a month.

Li Mu spent years building up the survivor base and preparing a Spark City, then learned that a huge flock of Demonized Sparrows was approaching after the White Goat leader secretly redirected them. He evacuated the survivors into a temporary safe house, leaving the base under threat.

• Li Mu discovered that time flowed at least a hundred times faster in the city-building instance and devoted himself to developing the survivor base and strengthening the Philosopher's Stone.
• Li Mu waited until the population exceeded ten thousand but declined to submit the first mission stage, choosing to keep preparing and converting metal.
• Song Lei warned Li Mu that at least one hundred thousand Demonized Sparrows were approaching the survivor base.
• Li Mu used Song Lei's Clairvoyance and Legilimency to discover that the White Goat leader had disguised its movements and forced the Demonized Sparrows to attack.
• Li Mu ordered the survivors to evacuate into the prepared safe house as the Demonized Sparrows advanced.

Li Mu used the Phoenix to destroy most of the Demonized Sparrows before the White Goat leader attacked with holy light and tried to seize the warship with its wool. After exposing the wool’s power with a mirror projection, Li Mu escaped underground, while the enraged White Goat leader began searching its sealed territory for the hidden humans.

• Li Mu shrank the survivors’ safe house, put it in the Golden Crow’s cockpit, and used the Phoenix to kill most of the Demonized Sparrows.
• The White Goat leader attacked the Phoenix with holy pillars of light, forcing Li Mu to rely on the ship’s Wisdom HuoZhong-powered computer to evade.
• The White Goat leader leaped into the sky and shed wool that could forcibly take control of the Phoenix.
• Li Mu sent a Hyperthymesia Mirror projection toward the wool, confirmed its danger, and escaped with the survivors through an underground river.
