After killing the Sky Wolf, Qin Cang learned that the spoils were worth only 3.5 million Hunyuan Units, but the kill completed his official one-billion Military Merit target. He prepared to pursue his real mission of earning 10 trillion Military Merit by killing a Peak Marquis with his human body, then headed to meet Lan Ying and the others.

• Qin Cang considered the requirement to kill a Peak Marquis using his human body and own combat skills, then went to meet Lan Ying and the others.

Kailun agreed to leave for the Machine Race legacy with Qin Cang after they arranged for Lan Ying and the others to join them only in its first layer. As the group traveled toward the Star Sea Region, Kailun revealed how he had discovered the Pyramid and why he believed it held a powerful treasure.

• Qin Cang proposed that Lan Ying, Lie Feng, and the others explore only the legacy's first layer before he and Kailun continued alone.
• Kailun accepted the plan and set out from Barracks Base 001 with the group three days later aboard the Yingyin Ship.
• Kuin and Lie Feng thanked Qin Cang and joked with Gu Shi while the team traveled.
• Lan Ying asked Kailun where the treasure was, and Kailun began recounting his discovery in the Star Sea Region around twenty thousand years earlier.
• Kailun said he had found a Pyramid after witnessing a great battle, but it had merged with the sea and evaded scanners.
• Kailun revealed that he had left a Divine Power Coordinate at the Pyramid and planned to use the Fire God Source Crystal to blast its entrance open.

Qin Cang and Kailun led their group to the Star Sea Region to search for a Pyramid left by the Machine Race. When they reached the strangely untouched island hiding its entrance, Qin Cang sensed something was wrong and ordered Pato to maximize the probes’ power.

• Qin Cang concluded that the Pyramid and its hidden treasure might still exist, concealed by the Machine Race’s technology.
• Qin Cang cautioned Kailun to wait for his signal before detonating the passage charges and to keep the less experienced teammates safe.
• After nearly five months of travel, Kailun’s group arrived at the Star Sea Region and followed him toward the hidden passage beneath a small island.
• Qin Cang questioned how the island had survived a battle between two Peak Marquises and ordered Pato to run both probes at maximum power.

Qin Cang and Kailun entered the hidden folded space beneath the sea, where they found a Machine Race legacy housed in a golden Pyramid made entirely of Mystic Sun Gold Soul. As Kailun prepared to open it with the Fire God Source Crystal, Qin Cang expected to find the real treasure inside.

• Qin Cang and Kailun sent Lan Ying, Lie Feng, Kuin, and Gu Shi into Kailun's Space Ring before diving toward the hidden entrance.
• Kailun led Qin Cang to a passage where seawater vanished into folded space, and they followed it inside.
• Qin Cang studied the flawed concealment technique and suspected the Machine Race member had been too injured to hide the legacy properly.
• Qin Cang and Kailun discovered a golden Pyramid made from Mystic Sun Gold Soul, which Pato estimated was worth tens of millions of Hunyuan Units.
• Kailun took out the Fire God Source Crystal as Qin Cang urged him to begin opening the Pyramid.

Qin Cang and Kailun detonated a Fire God Source Crystal to blast open the Pyramid’s entrance, while Qin Cang grew more convinced that the supposedly abandoned site was a trap. After Pato scanned the interior and identified the Pyramid as a damaged Machine Race spaceship, Qin Cang decided to enter and search for its contents before attempting to retrieve the ship.

• Qin Cang questioned whether the space could withstand the Fire God Source Crystal’s blast, but Kailun assured him it was stable.
• Kailun detonated the Fire God Source Crystal, destroying the Pyramid’s gate without disturbing the surrounding space and wasting more than a million Hunyuan Units.
• Qin Cang suspected the site was a trap, then rushed to the entrance and collected the scattered metal fragments with Kailun.
• Pato scanned the Pyramid and reported that it was a damaged F9-grade Machine Race spaceship with complex, broken arrays and possible internal defenses.
• Qin Cang decided they should enter the spaceship to search for valuables before trying to remove it from the space.

Qin Cang and Kailun explored a Machine Race spaceship and discovered signs that its Marquis owner had fought a King-level Expert to the death. When they refused to leave, the ship activated its C-level Defense System and surrounded them with four thousand Machine Puppets.

• Qin Cang and Kailun found attack craters in the F9-grade metal passage and concluded that the Machine Race Marquis had likely died fighting a King-level Expert.
• Pato excitedly predicted they would find enormous riches, but Qin Cang warned that the ship could still hold deadly dangers.
• Qin Cang and Kailun crossed an empty plaza, deflected nine weak laser beams, and heard the ship warn them to leave.
• The ship declared its D-level Defense System ineffective and activated the C-level Defense System after Qin Cang and Kailun stayed.
• Four types of Machine Puppets emerged from passages in the hall, surrounding Qin Cang and Kailun with a total of four thousand units.

Qin Cang and Kailun fought four thousand Machine Race puppets before they could complete a battle array and trap them. With Pato’s advice and the Huangyan Divine Wings, Qin Cang found a way to exploit the puppets’ coordination, though the fight was still underway.

• Qin Cang and Kailun charged the puppets to stop them forming their battle array, and Qin Cang’s fire attack disabled only a dozen or so.
• Qin Cang struggled to destroy the chain-wielding puppets while coordinated Laser Gun and battle-axe puppets pressured him; he asked Pato for a solution.
• Pato explained a plan, and Qin Cang equipped the Huangyan Divine Wings, greatly increasing his speed.
• Kailun was distracted by Qin Cang’s wings, allowing seventeen Laser Gun puppets to hit him at once, though his armor protected him.
• Qin Cang reached the encirclement’s edge and destroyed a puppet’s core; nearby puppets moved away, confirming Pato’s advice was working.
• Qin Cang crossed to the opposite side and destroyed another puppet while the others reacted in the same way.

Qin Cang used the Huangyan Divine Wings and a Fire God Source Crystal to destroy most of the Machine Puppet Legion while protecting Kailun with the Star-Eating Grass. He and Kailun survived the blast, leaving the way forward open and the puppets reduced to scrap.

• Qin Cang urged Kailun to escape the encirclement while he used the Huangyan Divine Wings to destroy puppets and draw them together.
• Kailun charged through a gap in the Machine Puppet Legion as Qin Cang threw a Fire God Source Crystal into the gathered puppets.
• Qin Cang's Star-Eating Grass formed a barrier around Kailun and returned his spear before the crystal exploded.
• The blast wrecked more than ninety percent of the Machine Puppet Legion, and Kailun emerged unharmed.
• Qin Cang explained how Pato had predicted the puppets' movements and how he had bought the Fire God Source Crystals.

After defeating the Machine Puppets, Qin Cang and Kailun waited near the Pyramid’s exit while Kailun collected the valuable metal scraps. Qin Cang reflected on risk, fortune, and his own reasons for cultivating, but the Pyramid’s B-level Defense System then activated and attacked them with burning rocks.

• Kailun gathered the Puppet fragments and reflected on the millions of Hunyuan Units he could earn from the scraps and the Mystic Sun Gold Soul door.
• Qin Cang considered the rewards of hunting powerful enemies and realized he had lacked hardship and a personal reason to cultivate.
• Qin Cang decided that after claiming the treasure, he would cultivate for himself rather than to fulfill his family’s or teacher’s expectations.
• After Kailun collected the last fragment, the Pyramid announced that its C-level Defense System had failed and activated its B-level Defense System.
• Flaming rocks flew at Qin Cang and Kailun; Qin Cang shattered one with his spear, but its flames continued burning, and Kailun screamed.

Fissure Gold King waited in a Mechanical Fortress for Star King Cang to come rescue his captured disciple, Star Wind King, while Star King Cang hoped a Human Race powerhouse could become the variable he needed. Inside the special space, Qin Cang saved Kailun from flames made to target Immortal divine power, then learned the next obstacle might be designed for Kings.

• Fissure Gold King watched Qin Cang and Kailun pass the first obstacle and decided to wait for Star King Cang to enter his trap.
• Star King Cang weighed the danger of rescuing Star Wind King against the risk to his clan and hoped the Human Race intruders would change the situation.
• Qin Cang put Kailun in his Space Ring after flames began burning Kailun's Immortal Body and divine power.
• Pato identified the flames as the effect of Ember Dust Star Rock, which ignited when it touched Immortal Divine Power and could only be stopped by isolating the dust.
• Qin Cang realized the second obstacle targeted Marquis Immortals and wondered whether the next one was meant for Kings.

Qin Cang escaped the Pyramid with Kailun, who was badly injured and prepared to return to his homeworld to recover. Determined to expose the hidden power behind the lair, Qin Cang returned alone and ordered Star-Eater to tear the Pyramid apart.

• Qin Cang released Kailun outside the Pyramid and learned that Xiao Ke had lost most of his Divine Body while Kailun had lost twenty percent of his.
• Kailun thanked Qin Cang, advised him to value his life, and left for his homeworld after Qin Cang chose to stay.
• After Kailun departed, Qin Cang returned to the Folded Space and resolved to force the unknown power behind the Pyramid to reveal itself.
• Qin Cang summoned Star-Eater and ordered its thousand vines to attack and destroy the Pyramid.

Qin Cang ordered his Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass to tear apart the hidden space around the Pyramid, while Fissure Gold King and Star King Cang watched and planned their next moves. Star King Cang hoped the destruction would free his disciple and saw Qin Cang’s death as a chance to gain resources for his own advancement.

• Qin Cang ordered the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass to attack the folded space and expose whoever had created it.
• The Star-Eating Grass wrecked the F9-grade Pyramid and battered the space until it began to collapse.
• Fissure Gold King watched from Machine Race territory, realized Star King Cang might be nearby, and decided to wait rather than risk his long-term plans.
• Star King Cang arrived in the Star Sea Region and met his Soul Slave, Spike Nao Marquis, who showed him footage of Qin Cang’s attack.
• Star King Cang hoped the assault would destroy the setup and free his disciple, while considering killing Qin Cang to obtain resources for his own advancement.

Qin Cang battled nine enormous Mechanical Warriors made of G-Grade Metal while Star King Cang watched, hoping he could survive long enough to destroy the trap. Meanwhile, Fissure Gold King secured his master's agreement to lend him a Heavy Treasure to counter the Heavenly Spirit Diagram.

• Qin Cang attacked a Mechanical Warrior with his Blazing Flame Spear, but its G-Grade Metal body emerged unscathed.
• Pato warned Qin Cang that only King-level attacks could damage the Mechanical Warriors, and one struck at him with a greatsword.
• The other eight Mechanical Warriors formed a formation that made the space heavier and restricted Qin Cang's movement.
• Star King Cang watched Qin Cang's predicament and urged him silently to hold on.
• Fissure Gold King asked his Venerable master for a Heavy Treasure, and his master agreed to the plan.

Qin Cang combined his strongest spear attack with the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass to break through a Mechanical Warrior’s defenses. As Fissure Gold King rushed toward the battlefield, Qin Cang discovered the puppet’s core had cracked.

• Qin Cang used the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass to restrain one Mechanical Warrior while the other eight prepared to complete their formation.
• When the Star-Eating Grass could only mark the puppet’s G-Grade Metal shell, Qin Cang brought out the Holy Sun Spear and prepared his strongest attack.
• Qin Cang launched Fire Dome Covering the Universe while the Star-Eating Grass wrapped its vines around the spear and struck the puppet’s core.
• Fissure Gold King saw the attack, praised Qin Cang’s power, and teleported to the Third Battlefield with treasures borrowed from a Machine Race Venerable.
• Qin Cang’s combined attack cracked the Mechanical Warrior’s core, and he and Star-Eater celebrated the success.

Qin Cang damaged one of Fissure Gold King's Nine Space-Suppressing Star Pivot Warriors with Star-Eater and the Holy Sun Spear, disrupting the plan to trap him and lure Star King Cang into a snare. Fissure Gold King and Star King Cang both waited for the other to reveal himself, leaving Qin Cang caught between their competing plans.

• Qin Cang and Star-Eater cracked a Star Pivot Warrior's energy core with their combined attack, and Qin Cang credited much of the success to his own secret technique and the Holy Sun Spear.
• Star King Cang recognized the nine Mechanical Warriors as part of Fissure Gold King's Eighty-One Star Pivot and realized they were meant to trap Qin Cang.
• The damaged warrior weakened the formation, so the remaining Star Pivot Warriors intensified their Void-Suppressing Lockdown against Qin Cang.
• Fissure Gold King arrived nearby and vowed to seize Qin Cang's treasures and Star King Cang's Heavenly Spirit Diagram, but feared revealing himself first.
• Star King Cang and Fissure Gold King each chose to wait for the other to act, while Qin Cang remained at the center of their gamble.
