Chapter Summaries

Feng Jun returned to the Void to bring True Venerable Yang Jing back after the resentment wraith threat ended, then traveled to Liba Beach to rest and charge the Stone Ring. There, the Big Shot questioned him about how his sect had restrained the Incense Apotheosis Path.

• Feng Jun refused True Venerable Luan Xiong's token and left the Blazing Flame Sector for the Void to retrieve True Venerable Yang Jing.
• Feng Jun summoned True Venerable Hanhai, who returned after three days and learned Feng Jun wanted Yang Jing.
• True Venerable Yang Jing returned four days later, and Feng Jun offered to take him back after discussing the resentment wraiths and their earlier encounter.
• Feng Jun brought Yang Jing back and returned to the Blazing Flame Sector, where True Immortal Qingwei urged him to stay before his next trip to the Insectoid World.
• Feng Jun went to Liba Beach to rest and charge the Stone Ring, but the Big Shot asked how his sect had restrained the Incense Apotheosis Path.

Feng Jun gathered the exhausted cultivators and led them back to the Folding-Ruler Galaxy, where they chose to attack the Insect Race’s sixth planet. The coordinated assault showed that the Human Race had adapted to the Insect Race’s attempts to counter illusions and invisibility.

• Feng Jun showed the Yin Soul Big Shot the Mountain-River Seal, then rested for three days before gathering cultivators from the Blazing Flame Sector, the passageway, and Liba Beach.
• Feng Jun told the assembled groups he would bring them to the passageway but would no longer handle their return trips.
• The cultivators scouted the Folding-Ruler Galaxy and found the Insect Race concentrated on the first and sixth planets while the others remained devastated.
• The cultivators agreed to attack the sixth planet and quietly infiltrated it after leaving a small guard force behind.
• The Human Race army attacked all four Insect Race camps at once, with Formation Dao and Painting Dao support helping the main assaults succeed.
• The Insect Race used sonic and intense light attacks to counter illusions, but the prepared cultivators’ varied protective gear and abilities blunted them.

The Human Race routed the Insect Race across the Folding-Ruler Galaxy, leaving many survivors to shelter in Divine Temples that the cultivators had not attacked. Feng Jun went to seek help with the temples and ammunition, and True Venerable Ren Tu volunteered to handle them before noticing that the six planets had only five temples.

• The Human Race destroyed the Insect Race camps on the sixth planet, then left its Divine Temple untouched and sniped insects who tried to leave it.
• The Heavenly Zither cultivators routed the first planet’s Insect Race, but many escaped or took shelter in Divine Temples, slowing the cleanup.
• The cultivators agreed they needed a Spirit-Release Venerable to remove the temples and replenish ammunition, and Feng Jun went to invite Fishing Elder.
• At Xingzheng Star, Ren Tu and Fishing Elder argued over who should take the assignment, and Ren Tu volunteered to handle the temples.
• After Feng Jun brought Ren Tu to the Folding-Ruler Galaxy, Ren Tu observed the six planets and asked why there were only five Divine Temples.

True Venerable Ren Tu destroyed five Divine Temples in the Folding-Ruler Galaxy, then admitted he was exhausted and asked Feng Jun to retrieve him in fifteen days. Feng Jun left Ren Tu in the Yiyao Sector after learning Mo Ran had formed his Nascent Soul, then returned to the Insectoid World to ferry cultivators between planets as they looted resources.

• True Venerable Ren Tu destroyed five Divine Temples and took some treasures from three of them, leaving the other treasures to the cultivators.
• Big Shot warned Feng Jun that Ren Tu was at the end of his strength, and Feng Jun stayed behind as the other cultivators searched the first three planets.
• Ren Tu confessed that he was exhausted and tainted by incense faith karma, so Feng Jun took him to the Yiyao Sector and agreed to fetch him in fifteen days.
• Feng Jun learned that Mo Ran had formed his Nascent Soul, but returned to the Insectoid World to remain available during the ongoing battle.
• Cultivators looted the Divine Temples across the six planets and discovered a Violet Silver deposit on the second planet, while Feng Jun transported them between planets.
• Feng Jun looked up in surprise while continuing his transportation work.

Feng Jun summoned True Venerable Luan Xiong to stop an Insect Race warp arriving in the Insectoid World. Luan Xiong began sealing the space around the warp, but Feng Jun realized he needed to use Spatial Disturbance instead.

• Feng Jun and Dantai Yuhu sensed an Insect Race warp beginning at the edge of the star system, and the Yan Clan's True Immortal urged them to summon a True Venerable.
• Feng Jun went to Blazing Flame and summoned True Venerable Luan Xiong, startling two Golden Core cultivators who witnessed his arrival.
• Feng Jun brought Luan Xiong to the Insectoid World, where Luan Xiong assessed the warp and asked how to disrupt it.
• Feng Jun advised Luan Xiong to destabilize space, and Luan Xiong took him near the warp point, where several giant beetles had emerged.
• Luan Xiong used Spatial Seal, and Feng Jun realized that he should have used Spatial Disturbance instead.

Feng Jun and Venerable Luan Xiong fought the Insect Race vanguard as reinforcements emerged through a Warp Jump, but the battle grew increasingly dangerous. Luan Xiong urged Feng Jun to share responsibility and bring in help; Feng Jun returned to the Folding-Ruler Galaxy with only one person as the Human Race forces struggled to hold their ground.

• Venerable Luan Xiong’s Spatial Seal stalled the emerging insects, but some beetles broke through by increasing their Warp Jump energy and brought a large vanguard with them.
• Luan Xiong seized many Nascent-Soul and Golden-Core insects while the Yan Clan’s True Immortal and Dantai Yuhu deployed ships and cultivators to fight.
• Feng Jun moved forces into space, where beetles carrying insect nests and Divine Lord Statues threatened to overwhelm the outnumbered Human Race defenders.
• Luan Xiong warned Feng Jun that he could not know the timing or strength of a second wave, and Feng Jun realized he had been trying to take too much responsibility onto himself.
• Feng Jun went to bring reinforcements and returned to the Folding-Ruler Galaxy in about ten seconds, bringing only one person while Luan Xiong secretly helped pressured cultivators.

Feng Jun left the Folding-Ruler Galaxy after Spirit-Release Venerable Luan Xiong and Spirit-Release Venerable Tuo Tuo took charge of the Insect Race reinforcements. He reported the situation to Fishing Elder and went to Xingzheng Star to arrange ammunition and supplies, where he learned that the military had requisitioned He Runxian’s Energy Stones.

• Spirit-Release Venerable Tuo Tuo joined Spirit-Release Venerable Luan Xiong in the Folding-Ruler Galaxy, and the two began trapping Insect Race Nascent Souls while Feng Jun left to gather supplies.
• Feng Jun told Fishing Elder that Ren Tu had gone to the Grand Void and that Luan Xiong and Tuo Tuo were guarding the Folding-Ruler Galaxy.
• Fishing Elder said the front-line battle was intensifying and considered adding another Spirit-Release Venerable if Ren Tu could not return soon.
• Feng Jun contacted He Runxian, who explained that the military had requisitioned Energy Stones and that production was limited to costly night shifts.

Feng Jun learned how dire Xingzheng Star’s situation had become and agreed to supply Hesheng with Energy Stone and other goods. When He Runxian questioned whether Feng Jun’s mining efforts deserved military equipment, Feng Jun revealed that he was fighting the Insect Race in the Folding-Ruler Galaxy.

• He Runxian told Feng Jun that the Insect Race had tightened its blockade, causing mounting casualties and hardship on Xingzheng Star.
• Feng Jun offered to bring Energy Stone, food, and medicine, and agreed to buy Hesheng’s stock of mining equipment.
• Feng Jun requested ammunition, replacement parts, and three more D-Grade Combat Unit weapon systems, but He Runxian questioned whether his work justified their priority.
• Feng Jun insisted that he was also fighting the Insect Race and named the Folding-Ruler Galaxy as his combat location.

Feng Jun arranged a major weapons and supply exchange with He Runxian while describing the Broker Organization’s fight against the Insect Race in the Folding-Ruler Galaxy. After leaving an advance payment of five million tons of Energy Stones at Hesheng, he learned that the Insect Race had attacked the base.

• Feng Jun told He Runxian that the Broker Organization was fighting across the Folding-Ruler Galaxy and had come to restock after suffering heavy losses.
• He Runxian confirmed a shipment of mining equipment, weapons, food, medicine, and individual combat units for delivery in three days.
• Feng Jun agreed to pay five million tons of Energy Stones in advance and denied any connection to the Super Gene Warriors.
• Feng Jun secretly left the advance payment at Hesheng Production Base after checking that the storage yard’s defenses and surveillance were disabled.
• Three hours later, the Insect Race attacked Hesheng Base and struck several storage yards with raised domes.

Feng Jun helped Hesheng defend No. 3 Storage Yard from an Insect Race attack while realizing Energy Stones might also be needed in Heavenly Zither. He transported a Mantis Nurse to cultivators near the Insect Race passageway, where they killed it, and a Nascent Soul True Immortal asked whether Feng Jun could bring over Nascent Soul insects.

• Feng Jun warned He Runxian that the Energy Stones had arrived just as the Insect Race prepared to attack Hesheng.
• He Runxian activated the storage yards’ energy fields, and the Insect Race’s bombardment damaged all three yards while security teams moved Energy Stones out of No. 3 Storage Yard.
• Feng Jun intensified the rain with a Rain-Praying Array, then realized Energy Stones might also be required in Heavenly Zither.
• Feng Jun bound a Mantis Nurse and transported it to cultivators near the Insect Race passageway, asking them to deal with it quickly.
• The Golden Core True Adepts attacked and killed the Mantis Nurse, and a Nascent Soul True Immortal asked Feng Jun to bring over some Nascent Soul insects.

Feng Jun transported captured Golden Core insects to cultivators in several sectors, but the Insect Race eventually noticed his attacks. Qingwei True Immortal urged him to bring future captures to a guarded shop entrance, and Feng Jun agreed to limit his teleporting as the situation on the other side grew critical.

• Feng Jun declined to capture a Nascent Soul Insect Race cultivator, then brought Golden Core insects for the cultivators to examine and kill.
• Feng Jun delivered Scorpions, a Locust, and a Dragonfly, while the Two Sects objected to his having sent Centipedes to Heavenly Zither.
• Feng Jun transported fifteen Golden Core Insect Race cultivators to various sectors under cover of the Rain-Praying Array before the insects noticed him.
• Feng Jun brought a Poison Ice Moth to Blazing Flame Sector, where outsiders killed it before Golden Crow Sect disciples could claim it.
• Qingwei True Immortal asked about Luan Xiong True Venerable and urged Feng Jun to bring future captures to a guarded shop entrance.
• Feng Jun said the Insect Race had discovered him, declined immediate help, and promised to transport only insects below Golden Core without teleporting recklessly.

Feng Jun secretly eliminated more than ten commander-class insects, causing the Insect Race to withdraw from its attack on Hesheng. He Runxian suspected the Broker Organization had helped, but Feng Jun refused to offer further protection, and He Runxian denied that Pioneer Bank planned to move to Hesheng when questioned by the City Defense Army.

• Feng Jun returned to the Insectoid World and found that the Insect Race had begun withdrawing after its commander-class insects vanished.
• He Runxian noticed the attacks on Hesheng's storage yards had stopped, and his forces confirmed the Insect Race was retreating.
• Hesheng's analysts determined that more than ten commander-class insects had disappeared shortly before the organized withdrawal, but they could not explain how.
• He Runxian asked Feng Jun whether the Broker Organization had intervened and whether he could hire its protection, but Feng Jun refused and told him to seek his own fortune.
• The City Guard questioned He Runxian about the battle and Pioneer Bank's supposed move to Hesheng, and he firmly denied the claim.

He Runxian rebuffed Rosen’s attempt to smooth over the City Defense Army’s threat while keeping Pioneer Bank’s cargo deliveries in place. As the Insect Race probed Hesheng’s defenses during rainy nights, the base held its ground, killed a Golden Core creature, and forced the attackers to retreat.

• A minor City Defense Army leader left He Runxian after failing to pressure him over Pioneer Bank’s planned supply shipment and personnel relocation.
• Rosen apologized to He Runxian, who warned Pioneer Bank not to tamper with the cargo and threatened to stop delivering its food and medicine.
• Pioneer Bank analyzed Hesheng’s defense against the previous attack and suspected a faction with super-gene warriors, possibly the Broker Organization, had intervened.
• Rosen dismissed reports of rain at Hesheng Production Base, but the Insect Race attacked the three storage yards before dawn and fled after a Golden Core Sandworm released white mist.
• The next rainy night, more than forty Golden Core Insect Race creatures attacked Hesheng’s partly repaired domes, but the base killed one and injured several others.
• A Golden Core Peak Potter Wasp signaled a retreat, and the Insect Race withdrew without recovering the fallen creature’s body.

Feng Jun used the Rain-Praying Array and carefully timed defenses to test the Insect Race, helping Hesheng Base survive two more attacks before he ended his cooperation with He Runxian. In the Folding-Ruler Galaxy, he replenished supplies, commissioned a Rain-Praying Array, and asked whether a formation could convert Energy Stones into spiritual qi.

• Feng Jun kept rain falling around Hesheng Base, and the Insect Race attacked Storage Yard Three after He Runxian shut down its energy field; the base repelled them and injured several Golden Core insects.
• The Insect Race later attacked Storage Yard Five, where coordinated defenses stopped them; He Runxian worried over the massive shipment of food, medicine, and Energy Stones still being moved.
• Feng Jun confirmed the goods had arrived safely and ended his cooperation with He Runxian before traveling to the Folding-Ruler Galaxy.
• Feng Jun delivered ammunition, replenished combat units, released mining equipment, and divided it equally between the two sects while keeping the surplus.
• Feng Jun asked the Formation Dao Kun Cultivation to design a Rain-Praying Array and learned that the Formation Dao's Prospecting Array was costly and impractical.
• Feng Jun asked whether she could design a formation that converted Energy Stones into spiritual qi.

Feng Jun and Yi Jue rushed True Immortal Huoliu back for treatment after an Insect Race ambush exposed the presence of cultivators on the battlefield. After returning to the front lines with reinforcements, they learned that their cover had been blown.

• Feng Jun urged the Kun Cultivator of the Formation Dao to explore using Energy Stones to power formations, then left when Yi Jue warned him of an emergency.
• Yi Jue brought the badly wounded True Immortal Huoliu to Feng Jun, and Feng Jun transported them to Geng-Character Plain so she could take Huoliu back to the Spirit Plant Path.
• Yi Jue explained that Huoliu had fallen into an Insect Race trap and that his injuries likely exposed the cultivators to both the Human Race and the Insect Race.
• Feng Jun and Yi Jue discussed the intensifying fighting and the need for more True Venerables on the front lines.
• After Senior Brother Yue Zhao arrived to replace Huoliu, Feng Jun brought him, Yi Jue, and True Venerable Ren Tu to the Insectoid World.
• Elder Qing Huang met them on Big Rock and solemnly announced that they had been exposed.

Human Federation society reacted to footage of Yi Jue rescuing True Immortal Huoliu and called for cooperation, while Heavenly Zither cultivators chose to keep their distance. After True Venerable Ren Tu returned, he and True Venerable Fishing Elder agreed to take turns attacking the Insect Race and discussed bringing another True Venerable to support them.

• Human Federation citizens watched footage of Yi Jue rescuing True Immortal Huoliu and speculated that the two warriors came from another civilization.
• The Human Federation broadcast appeals for cooperation, but Heavenly Zither cultivators ignored them and the Insect Race contracted its forces and prepared more ambushes.
• True Venerable Qing Huang found True Venerable Ren Tu back in Heavenly Zither, and Ren Tu asked what the cultivators planned to do now that they had been exposed.
• True Venerable Fishing Elder said they should ignore the Human Federation but punish the Insect Race for trapping Heavenly Zither cultivators.
• True Venerable Ren Tu and True Venerable Fishing Elder agreed to take turns attacking while the other protected the junior cultivators.
• True Venerable Ren Tu warned that the Insect Race could warp-jump from the Folding-Ruler Galaxy and proposed adding another True Venerable, prompting Fishing Elder to ask about bringing one from the passage entrance.

True Venerable Ren Tu and True Venerable Fishing Elder hunted concealed Insect Race forces, then adapted their tactics after the insects discovered the losses and began clustering together. They destroyed a small insect swarm with a coordinated attack and planned to strike again before the news spread.

• Ren Tu left to ambush concealed Insect Race cultivators, killing more than thirty Nascent Souls over several days while Fishing Elder later took over and killed fourteen more.
• The Insect Race discovered its concealed ambushers had vanished, withdrew from the ambush plan, and began gathering its forces together.
• Ren Tu and Fishing Elder decided to attack small, remote insect clusters and searched their chosen target for hidden Soul Emergence cultivators.
• Ren Tu sealed the target area with Heaven-and-Earth Severance, exposing more than twenty hidden Nascent Soul Insect Race cultivators.
• Fishing Elder used his Fish Basket to draw in and destroy the insect swarm while Ren Tu watched for a counterattack.
• After cleaning up and leaving, Fishing Elder urged Ren Tu to launch another attack quickly before the news spread.

Fishing Elder and Ren Tu continued attacking the Insect Race’s swarms, while Feng Jun arranged care for the wounded and visited other worlds. Back on Blue Star, he discussed introducing new medicines with Yang Yuxin, then asked the Guardians to identify a stone stele and learned it was extraordinarily valuable.

• Fishing Elder and Ren Tu destroyed two more insectoid swarms, hiding one attack from the Insect Race by distorting its spatial image.
• Feng Jun took wounded cultivators to the Two Sects’ recuperation site, then brought Half-Fool True Venerable to Xingzheng Star as reinforcement.
• Fishing Elder allowed Feng Jun to visit other worlds, and Feng Jun checked Giant Planet, the Folding-Ruler Galaxy, and Kun Hao before returning to Luohua Manor.
• Yang Yuxin told Feng Jun that the new production line’s drugs were effective, and they agreed to begin with treatments for Diabetes while preparing for future life-extension medicines.
• Feng Jun showed the Guardians Teacher Guan’s stone stele, and the Guardians warned that Soul Division Stage cultivators would fight over it and even Body Integration Stage cultivators might covet it.

Feng Jun learned that the Yellow Springs Stele could guide someone rebuilding the Six Paths, but he saw no reason to risk his life doing so and asked the Guardians about Void Wraiths and a Divine Lord Statue. Back at Luohua Manor, he learned Natural Village had been approved in principle and discussed its ten-person application with Lin Beauty.

• The Guardians told Feng Jun the stele was the Yellow Springs Stele and that its Dao Intent could help rebuild the Six Paths, though Feng Jun treated it as a reference and asked whether he could sell it.
• Feng Jun asked about a Spirit Projection Stage Void Wraith Horde, and the Guardians suggested an Abyssal Shadow Pearl might be involved and said they wanted Void Wraiths of at least that level.
• Feng Jun showed the Guardians a Divine Lord Statue, and they identified its method as Gu Cultivator Wild Worship and suggested his Yin Soul might know how to counter it.
• After returning to Luohua Manor, Feng Jun rested, then noticed Lin Beauty’s report that Natural Village had been approved in principle.
• Lin Beauty told Feng Jun he needed to submit a list of at least ten natural persons within a week, and he said he could gather them for the village he intended as a cultivation ground.
• Lin Beauty praised the immunity-boosting medicine’s effect on her grandmother, and Feng Jun directed her to Manager Yang for more.

Feng Jun and Lin Beauty discussed a production line for diabetes medicine, clashed over health supplements, and negotiated how much authority the government could offer him. The chapter ended with Lin Beauty proposing a military inspection delegation to a war zone, while Feng Jun warned her not to assume he would take the risks for them.

• Lin Beauty questioned Feng Jun about a diabetes medicine production line and admitted that the manufacturers she had found were all health supplement companies.
• Feng Jun rejected her attempt to promote those companies and argued that anyone interested should speak with Yang Yuxin or Yu Qingzhu instead.
• Lin Beauty accused Feng Jun of applying double standards because he had sold Three Lives Aged Liquor, and Feng Jun acknowledged the comparison but defended his control over his own business.
• Lin Beauty offered Feng Jun permission to deal with people across the official system if he found their conduct inappropriate, but Feng Jun said he only wanted a suitable business partner and no complications.
• Lin Beauty claimed her uncle ran a health supplement company to test Feng Jun's attitude, then asked how long it would take him to obtain a production line.
• When Feng Jun said the equipment was in a war zone, Lin Beauty suggested forming a military inspection delegation, and he told her not to assume he would take risks on their behalf.
