• The Radiant Silverwing Group surrounded the Four Guardian Generals in a shattered Meteor Belt and demanded the Queen Mother's essence blood they had taken from the Mother Nest.

• The Four Mechanical Guardian Spirits refused to surrender the Mother Nest Blood Essence and fought the Dragon Abyss Giant Warriors while waiting for Father God to arrive.

• The Winged Spirit Race woman begged the newcomer to spare her and offered compensation on behalf of the Void Temple and Radiant Silverwing Group.
• After the newcomer replied, “Too late!”, the Winged Spirit Race woman fled into the void, abandoning her subordinates.

Rather than surrendering the treasure ground, the assembled powerful beings rallied to surround it, leaving a tense confrontation about to erupt.

• The Mother Nest Ruins drew powerful beings from across the cosmos as treasure hunting and conflict intensified.
• A huge rift opened in the Sky Abyss, and a colossal creature began forcing its way into the universe.

• Fearing they would lose access to the ruins' treasures, powerful beings debated attacking the Wasp Emperor instead of retreating.
• A leader rallied the crowd, and powerful beings from many races formed a vast encirclement around the Wasp Emperor as it settled over the ruins.

The Dimension-Rending Wasp Emperor overwhelmed the allied forces attacking the Mother Nest Ruins, slaughtering many as the coalition collapsed and fled. After the Emperor claimed the ruined nest, nearby factions began preparing a new alliance, while Zheng Yi delegated their invitation to the Mechanical God.

• The Dimension-Rending Wasp Emperor blocked the allied forces' opening attacks with a pollen-like shell, then launched eggs that rapidly hatched into fighting insects.
• The wasp insects matured by devouring corpses, turning the battle against the allied forces and causing their defensive line to break apart.
• As the forces fled, the Dimension-Rending Wasp Emperor's swarms surrounded and devoured many retreating experts, including Grotto-heaven Masters and their Inner Grotto-heavens.

• With Zheng Yi in seclusion and the insect egg not fully hatched, he left the Ascension Immortal Dynasty's response to the Mechanical God.

Zheng Yi focused on hatching the Brain Insect Egg and grew wary of its powerful, awakening mental strength. After learning that commander-type insects could evolve into Queen Mothers and rebel against their masters, he began cultivating a body-seizing secret art to prepare to control the Brain Insect.

• Zheng Yi spent seventy years supplying the Brain Insect Egg with energy while the war outside remained contained and the egg neared hatching.
• Zheng Yi realized the Brain Insect's vitality and mental power were growing even though it remained motionless, and he worried he might not be able to control it.
• Zheng Yi summoned the Mechanical God, which retrieved thirteen suitable body-seizing arts from the Ascension Immortal Court's databases.
• The Mechanical God explained that a commander-type insect once evolved into a Queen Mother, rebelled against its controller, and helped bring about the mighty expert's downfall.
• Zheng Yi decided to cultivate body-seizing techniques and chose the Nine Heavens Star Soul Reincarnation Art, which used stellar energy to form a star-soul body and seize another being's body.

• After exploring the network, Zheng Yi learned that the Void Temple Virtual Universe Network spanned the universe and that his cube had become his independent account.

He returned to Purity Heaven to pursue control of the parasitized brain insect’s body while ordering his forces to withdraw and avoid attracting the Realm-splitting Hibernating Emperor’s attention.

• Zheng Yi returned to Purity Heaven to combine the method with the Nine Heavens Star Soul Reincarnation Art and tested his plan on a wounded Grotto-heaven Realm insect.

Zheng Yi studied the Soul Frequency Adjustment Method to overcome the brain insect’s resistance and planned to use it to create a Queen Insect under his control. As he began researching how to unite his will with the insect’s body, the war around the Chaotic Star Region shifted into a stalemate.

• Zheng Yi failed to control the brain insect with the Nine Heavens Star Soul Reincarnation Art alone and turned to the Soul Frequency Adjustment Method for help.
• Zheng Yi studied the method and concluded that the Three Realms Tree needed to absorb more powerful origin treasures for him to reach the Chaos Hole Realm.
• Zheng Yi decided to use his Divine Dao Golden Body and the Soul Frequency Adjustment Method to match the brain insect’s soul and body frequencies and create a Mother of Kin.
• The Realm-splitting Hibernating Emperor’s insect race expanded across surrounding star systems, but mysterious powerhouses joined the Allied Forces and killed key insect commanders.
• The Allied Forces reclaimed territory and resources over several hundred cosmic days, and both sides eventually settled into a stalemate while Zheng Yi remained absorbed in his research.
