Chapter Summaries

Luo O'aitasi's demonic roar swept across a continent, killing millions and incapacitating the Survivor Squad's three veterans. Ragul Falcon ordered three Dreadnought Mechs to intercept the Greater Demon as his squad continued toward an Alien Dimension Rift, while the survivors recovered and discussed how powerful the demon was.

• Luo O'aitasi's roar shattered the novice reincarnators and swept across a continent, killing millions of Imperial soldiers, Wasteland creatures, and Warp Demon Spawn.
• Ragul Falcon confirmed that a Greater Demon had descended and ordered three Dreadnought Mechs to intercept it, permitting their destruction if necessary.
• A General-class demon ambushed Ragul Falcon, but the Astartes behind him blasted it apart before Ragul finished it with his Chainsword.
• Sun Xiaobao, Shi Jing, and Meng Wei crawled out of the desert, and Shi Jing gave Sun Xiaobao a Senzu Bean that healed his injuries.
• Sun Xiaobao and Shi Jing discussed the Greater Demon's overwhelming strength, and Meng Wei denied that he had ever volunteered to fight ten Greater Demons.

Meng Wei, Shi Jing, and Sun Xiaobao witnessed Astartes effortlessly kill a powerful demon and decided to follow them for safety as they searched for a way home. Meanwhile, at Scrap City, Luo O'aitasi ignored the Dreadnought Mechs attacking him and focused on an eye-shaped dimensional rift sealed by a golden barrier.

• A massive demon dragon attacked Meng Wei, Shi Jing, and Sun Xiaobao, but Lager and the Astartes killed it with ease.
• The three survivors discussed how powerful the Astartes and other forces in the demonically altered Warhammer world might be.
• Shi Jing persuaded Meng Wei and Sun Xiaobao to follow the Astartes, and the trio vowed to find a way home.
• Sun Xiaobao rode a horse formed from Battle Qi while Shi Jing transformed into an aircraft and carried Meng Wei toward Lager's group, concealing them with magical energy fields.
• At the ruins of Scrap City, three Dreadnought Mechs fired on Luo O'aitasi, who remained unharmed and continued tinkering with a golden-barrier-encased dimensional rift.

Li Hai returned through the Dimensional Rift after erasing Luo O'aitasi's golden barrier and the devastating chaos wave. His arrival left the Demon Sovereign trembling and retreating.

• Lager waited with his Astartes while Sun Xiaobao, Meng Wei, and Shi Jing watched the battle from hiding.
• Luo O'aitasi grew impatient with the barrier's combination lock and struck the Dimensional Rift with its giant axe.
• The resulting chaos wave blasted the three Dreadnoughts into space and surged toward Lager's group and the survivors.
• Li Hai erased the chaos wave and the giant axe with his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, then stepped out of the rift.
• Luo O'aitasi trembled and staggered backward as Li Hai advanced in his golden armor.

Li Hai killed the Demon Lord Luo O'aitasi with a glance, then used his power to wipe out the Chaos Demons ravaging Backroom Star. Lager and the others realized the Custodes may have caused the planetwide massacre, while Li Hai’s Stronger Fragments climbed to 1,882.

• Luo O'aitasi charged Li Hai, but cracks spread across its body before golden flames erased it and its true body in the Warp.
• Lager and the Astartes relaxed after witnessing Li Hai’s display, while Sun Xiaobao, Shi Jing, and Meng Wei were stunned by his strength.
• Li Hai sensed the demons across Backroom Star and found that the horde contained only 873 extra fragments.
• Li Hai sent golden threads across the planet, killing the demons attacking Astra Militarum soldiers, Wasteland residents, and wild beasts.
• The Rainbow Light command center reported the demons’ sudden deaths to Lager, who suspected Li Hai had destroyed the million-strong horde.

Li Hai wiped out the demons around T56 Planet, gained enough Stronger Fragments for a lottery draw, and obtained the Saiyan Bloodline. He then turned his attention to three reincarnators he hoped to use to enter the Collapse Emperor Domain.

• The Rainbow Light console reported that Li Hai had killed the demons in outer space and closed every Warp rift around T56 Planet.
• Li Hai counted his fragment gains, bringing his total to 2,002 Stronger Fragments, and used his new lottery draw.
• The lottery awarded Li Hai the Saiyan Bloodline, granting him replenishing Ki, explosive growth after recovering from near-fatal injuries, and a Super Saiyan transformation at Level 5.
• Li Hai recalled that three Level 3 reincarnators were hiding nearby and decided to use them to enter the Collapse Emperor Domain.

Li Hai confronted Sun Xiaobao, Shi Jing, and Meng Wei and used fairy-tale metaphors to confirm that they were Reincarnators serving the Collapse Emperor. He learned their mission concerned the birth of a new Emperor or Chaos God, and realized there might be a way to change their predicament.

• Li Hai appeared before the invisible Reincarnators and told them their Concealment Field was useless.
• Li Hai described the Main God Space and the Collapse Emperor through a story about a Fairy Tale Kingdom and Poison Apples, and Shi Jing confirmed the truth.
• Shi Jing reasoned that the Reincarnators needed Li Hai's protection and agreed to explain their mission carefully.
• Shi Jing said they had come to witness a new Lion King or Poison Forest being born so they could return home.
• Li Hai's mind-based power prompted Shi Jing to reveal that their mission might not end with their return to the Main God Space.
• Li Hai realized through Phenomenon Fiction that the situation might still be changed.

Li Hai arranged to join Shi Jing, Sun Xiaobao, and Meng Wei in the Fairy Tale Kingdom after they completed their final mission, then spoke with Ragul Falcon about the mission and learned details of the Human Empire. As the Warhammer and Backroom universes became fully parallel, Warp began engulfing the C744 Galaxy’s dark matter halo and the star system containing Backroom Star.

• Li Hai persuaded Shi Jing to recruit him into the Fairy Tale Kingdom after the trio completed their journey and received their return-home reward.
• Li Hai introduced himself as a traveler from other forests and said he had killed a group called the Free Ones.
• Ragul Falcon arrived with Space Marines, and Li Hai claimed the trio were his household servants before discussing the mission with him.
• The trio learned that the Human Empire controlled seventy percent of the Laniakea Supercluster and were horrified by its immense scale.
• Li Hai sensed the universes’ convergence ending as Warp began enveloping the C744 Galaxy’s dark matter halo and Backroom Star’s stellar system.

Xideluo Eriteliya, a traitor Primarch and master of the Blood Tomb Legion, unleashed a vast Warp assault on Backroom Star after learning that Li Hai had killed his blood descendant, Luo O'aitasi. Li Hai dispelled the attack with a single halberd strike, and Xideluo flew into a rage when Li Hai ignored his challenge.

• Yu Yiyi was swallowed by the Warp as a distant sun turned black and opened countless blood-red eyes.
• Xideluo Eriteliya revealed himself as the master of the Blood Tomb Legion and engulfed Backroom Star in a tide of Warp energy, driving its people into horrors and leaving its Astartes dazed.
• Lager Falcon identified Xideluo as a traitor Primarch, while Meng Wei and the other reincarnators trembled at his overwhelming pressure.
• Li Hai judged Xideluo to be a powerful foe, flew into space, and struck the Warp tide with his golden halberd, restoring the people of Backroom Star and destroying the energy surrounding the planet.
• Xideluo recognized Li Hai as the one who killed Luo O'aitasi, but Li Hai searched for him without responding, enraging the unseen Primarch.

Li Hai provoked Xideluo into revealing his true body and discovered that the Primarch’s Two Worlds Resonance skill let him flood the material universe with Warp energy. The resulting distortions warped perception throughout the star system, while Li Hai learned how Xideluo’s seven Psionic systems connected him to the Warp.

• Li Hai mocked Xideluo and cut apart two increasingly powerful Warp storms with his halberd.
• Xideluo agreed to face Li Hai directly and emerged through a vast gate in his armored, hammer-wielding form.
• Xideluo’s presence distorted the star system’s physical laws and scrambled what Lager, Sun Xiaobao, Shi Jing, and Meng Wei perceived.
• Li Hai used the distortions to see Xideluo’s personal interface and identified his Two Worlds Resonance skill.
• Li Hai realized that a seven-system Psionic user at Level 6 could form a Small Source and draw Warp energy through a resonance with the Great Source.

Li Hai transformed into Super Saiyan 2 and reached the pinnacle of sixth-level strength, then faced Xidelo’s overwhelming Chaos attack. As Backroom Star shook and its inhabitants feared destruction, Li Hai opened his mouth to respond to the incoming torrents.

• Xidelo arrived before Li Hai and demanded that he abandon the False Emperor and submit.
• Li Hai activated Super Saiyan Transformation, but Xidelo struck him across billions of kilometers into a gaseous giant planet.
• Li Hai activated Super Saiyan 2, reached the pinnacle of sixth-level strength, and appeared before Xidelo without leaving a visible flight path.
• Xidelo unleashed hundreds of millions of scarlet Chaos torrents, shaking the surrounding void and threatening Backroom Star.
• Sun Xiaobao, Shi Jing, and Meng Wei feared that the planet and everyone on it would be destroyed.
• Li Hai faced the incoming Chaos torrents, narrowed his eyes, and opened his mouth.

Li Hai effortlessly destroyed Xidelo’s Warp tide, battered his projection, and provoked him into revealing his true body. After luring Xidelo away from Backroom Star, Li Hai met him on a distant blue star, where their close-combat fight began.

• Li Hai sneezed away Xidelo’s chaotic demon sea and narrowly missed destroying Xidelo with the remaining blast.
• Li Hai slapped Xidelo twice, taunted him, and demanded that he bring out his true body.
• Xidelo manifested his crimson true body, and Li Hai struck him before fleeing into the Warp and challenging him to give chase.
• Li Hai and Xidelo traveled through broken webways to an uninhabited star system ten light-years from Backroom Star.
• Li Hai warmed up on the surface of a blue star, then invited Xidelo to fight, and Xidelo charged with a punch.

Li Hai defeated Xidelo after Tzeentch chose him and Khorne withdrew Xidelo’s blessing. After killing Xidelo, Li Hai raised both his systems to Level 6, but his newly formed Light of Truth vanished, leaving a sorrowful echo that declared the Emperor had fallen and truth was extinguished.

• Xidelo battered Li Hai at superluminal speed, but Li Hai’s defenses held, and he mocked Xidelo before turning away.
• Tzeentch chose Li Hai, raising him to Level 7, while Khorne withdrew Xidelo’s blessing and dropped him to early Level 6.
• Xidelo cursed the Chaos Gods and called Li Hai an ant, so Li Hai killed him with a beam from his fingertip.
• Li Hai gained twenty-one fragments and raised his Astartes and Psionic Power user systems to Level 6, reaching the peak of the tier.
• Li Hai’s Flame of Truth became the Light of Truth, then vanished as the Lesser Source resonated with the Warp, leaving the echo, “The Emperor falls, truth forever extinguished—”

After the Emperor’s death plunged the Human Empire toward collapse, his final message offered his power and legacy to the Primarchs, naming whoever claimed the Golden Throne as his heir. As Ragul Falcon and the others reacted to the message, a colossal demonic claw emerged from a rift and struck toward the Rainbow Light.

• Li Hai realized that the Emperor’s death threatened the Astronomican, the Human Empire’s unity, and humanity’s survival.
• The Echo of Truth delivered the Emperor’s final message, inviting the Primarchs to seek his legacy and claim the Golden Throne.
• Ragul Falcon and the Astartes on Backroom Star and aboard the Rainbow Light broke down in grief, while Sun Xiaobao, Shi Jing, and Meng Wei sensed the universe descending into darkness and chaos.
• Ragul Falcon concluded that Primarchs from both the human and daemon camps could become the new Emperor.
• A violet-black rift opened above Backroom Star, and a moon-sized demonic claw reached out toward the Rainbow Light.

Li Hai saved the Rainbow Light and Backroom Star by revealing overwhelming power and killing a Chaos Greater Demon. He claimed to be the Emperor’s secret Primarch, but Lager asked him to explain the plan behind his story.

• The Rainbow Light’s weapons failed to harm the giant claw reaching from a Warp rift, until Li Hai’s golden power froze it in place.
• Li Hai expanded into a colossal giant of light, pulled a nine-headed Chaos Greater Demon through the rift, and crushed it.
• Li Hai appeared before Lager, the Astartes, and the three reincarnators in mechanical armor, and they recognized him as a Primarch.
• Li Hai claimed he had secretly been the Emperor’s contingency plan and had revealed himself to save humanity after the Emperor fell.
• Lager asked Li Hai to explain the salvation plan and secret Primarch, saying he had never found evidence of either in ancient texts.

Li Hai claimed he was The Emperor’s secret Primarch and used his Super Primarch transformations and reality-warping speech to win Ragul Falcon and the Thorn Bird Legion’s allegiance. He then transformed loyal Astartes and Astra Militarum soldiers into stronger warriors.

• Li Hai claimed The Emperor had created him to inherit the Golden Throne, and that the other Primarchs were meant to help him grow stronger.
• Li Hai transformed into Super One and then Super Two, displaying power that reached into higher tiers and spread across the star system.
• Li Hai called on Ragul Falcon and the Astartes to submit to him, while Phenomenon Fiction altered their thoughts and gave them hope for humanity’s future.
• Ragul knelt and swore to serve Li Hai, and the other Astartes followed by pledging their loyalty.
• Li Hai used Phenomenon Fiction to transform Lager into a Crown Custodes, nearly a thousand Astartes into Emperor’s Chosen Custodes, and fifty thousand Astra Militarum soldiers into Astartes.

Li Hai and his companions discussed how to locate the shifting Golden Emperor Road and learned of an ancient device that could pinpoint it. A scan then revealed a massive battle between Orks and Slaanesh daemons ahead of the Rainbow Light.

• Lager explained that the Golden Emperor Road was a living webway built by the Old Ones and discovered by the Emperor.
• Lester revealed that ancient Dark Eldar murals described a device capable of locating the Golden Emperor Road.
• Lester said the device was believed to be inside a damaged webway containing a city of Dark Eldar, where a Space Marine company had been lost.
• Li Hai sensed a major battlefield ahead and ordered an Omnipresence scan.
• The attendant reported that an enormous Ork horde was fighting an equally enormous army of Slaanesh daemons in a Warp fault thirty-five point seven light-years ahead.

Li Hai reached a vast Warp rift where Orks and Slaanesh demons were fighting across its immense expanse. He froze both armies with his Super Saiyan Primarch aura and expected their deaths to yield enough fragments for one or two draws.

• Countless Orks and Slaanesh demons battled across a gigantic rift, using bizarre powers and weapons to devastate its shifting terrain.
• Rainbow Light arrived at the rift’s outskirts with Li Hai aboard.
• Li Hai transformed into the Super Saiyan Primarch and unleashed his aura across the rift.
• Li Hai’s aura froze the Orks, demons, and their leaders in place.
• Li Hai estimated that the armies would drop enough fragments for at least one draw, possibly two.

Li Hai destroyed a vast Warp rift, gained a new sword talent, and created the Interstellar War Sword. After years of misnavigation through the Warp, the Rainbow Light finally reached the region corresponding to the second spiral arm Lager had mentioned.

• Li Hai erased the enormous Warp rift and its Orks and Slaanesh demons, earning 1,331 Stronger Fragments and bringing his total to 3,360.
• Li Hai drew the Taixu Sword Soul: Myriad Forms Return to Truth, raised it to level 6, and used it to create the Warp-based Interstellar War Sword.
• Li Hai developed the Star-Destroying Transformation and complained that the system had sharply reduced the fragment drop rate for killing weaker creatures.
• Over three thousand years, Li Hai escorted the Rainbow Light through the Warp, but it repeatedly lost its way and once strayed tens of millions of light-years beyond the C744 Galaxy.
• After more years of course corrections, the Rainbow Light reached the Warp corresponding to the second spiral arm Lager had mentioned.

The Dark Eldar city of Savanx held its once-in-a-century Blood Feast, torturing human prisoners while keeping the surviving Space Marine Krod Hurricane bound above the arena. An unknown force seized control of the city, rescued the prisoners, and sent one hundred golden-armored figures into the arena.

• Savanx’s Dark Eldar gathered for the Blood Feast and tortured human prisoners to harvest their pain-filled soul-energy.
• Krod Hurricane, a Storm Gull Chapter veteran imprisoned for thousands of years, watched helplessly as the Dark Eldar tormented the prisoners below him.
• Black Vein Zarazur, Thousand Blades Shaenna, and Shattered Mirror Fustara watched the festival from the VIP section.
• A vast unknown power spread throughout Savanx, rescued every human prisoner, and sealed the city against escape.
• One hundred enormous figures in golden armor and carrying golden halberds descended into the arena.

Lester and the Custodians attacked Savanles City, rescuing Krod Hurricane while its leaders decided to release a sealed power against them. As the city began to quake, a furious voice emerged from a Warp-lit well and threatened the intruders.

• Li Hai sent Lester and the ninety-nine Custodians to attack Savanles City while he watched from the Rainbow Light.
• Lester ordered the Custodians to kill the Dark Eldar and flew to free Krod Hurricane, while the city’s three leaders escaped to an underground meeting room.
• Shattered Mirror Fustara, Black Vein Zarazur, and Thousand Blades Shaenna decided to release a sealed being to fight the Custodians.
• Lester smashed Krod’s floating statue and learned that Krod had sensed the Emperor’s death and been imprisoned for thousands of years.
• Lester told Krod that he and the Fifth Assault Company had become Emperor’s Chosen Custodes under Secret Primarch Li Hai.
• Savanles City shook as a Warp-lit well opened in the arena, and a voice from within threatened the intruders.
