• Chen Yan used his Divine Ring to kill two late-stage ninth-rank Black Tide Creatures and release Zhao Wuji, Xu Guangzong, and Qin Ningshuang from his domain.
• Zhao Wuji recognized Chen Yan as the Professional League competitor who had defeated Chu Feng, while Xu Guangzong recognized him as Yu Qingmeng's childhood friend.
• Qin Ningshuang identified Chen Yan as the legendary Nameless Martial Saint, and Chen Yan confirmed that he was most likely the Nameless Great Being behind the Alliance's sudden victories over the Black Tide.
• Levi entered a hidden room in an American research institute and asked his Master for stronger technology and an Evolution Serum.
• Levi's Master sent him a purple serum, which Levi drank, increasing his strength several times and leaving him delighted that he alone had received the treatment.

The Spirit Descendant learned that a powerful living being might be behind Blue Star’s ninth-rank life forms and ordered an early wormhole jump. After Levi killed Calvin and retained control of Evolution Company, a mysterious East Continent man appeared and Old Fere addressed him as his master, revealing that someone had been mind-controlled.

• The Spirit Descendant told Ling Duo that the gift he gave the slave would briefly multiply his strength while consuming most of his lifespan, then suspected a specific living being was behind Blue Star’s powerful inhabitants.
• The Spirit Descendant ordered Ling En to prepare a wormhole jump to Blue Star, despite the ship’s low energy reserves.
• Levi arrived at Evolution Company’s board meeting and heard Calvin challenge his leadership over the company’s casualties.
• Levi killed Calvin with a single punch, silenced the board, and resumed the meeting as person-in-charge.
• As the board discussed plans to combat Black Tide Creatures, Levi considered expanding his ambitions to the East Continent.
• A mysterious East Continent man appeared in the meeting, and Old Fere bowed to him as his master, leading Levi to realize Old Fere had been mind-controlled.

An East Continent man took control of Levi and the people around him, then forced Levi to lead him to a secret communicator. After Levi unknowingly reported a powerful mineral-devouring life-form to the Master, Spirit Descendant identified it as a living juvenile Star-Forging Beast and ordered his ship to hurry to Blue Star.

• Levi called in sixteen Ninth-Rank Gene Warriors, but they and the board members revealed they were under the East Continent man's control.

• Spirit Descendant heard Levi's report through the Rift and recognized the creature as a juvenile Star-Forging Beast.
• Spirit Descendant assured Ling Duo and Ling En that he would report the discovery to their clan, then ordered the spacecraft to speed up its jump toward Blue Star.

Chen Yan manipulated Levi into continuing to feed false reports to the Spirit Race fleet, hoping to draw it into a damaging clash with the Star-Forging Beast. After exploring his new abilities and finding that his rapid cultivation had left him short of the life experience needed to awaken the three spirits, he decided to use Three Lives Create Myriad Things and live through other lives himself.

• Chen Yan rewrote Levi's subconscious to make him absolutely loyal, then ordered him to keep reporting fabricated information to the alien fleet.
• Chen Yan planned to lure the Spirit Race fleet into fighting the Star-Forging Beast so both threats would be weakened and he could seize their resources afterward.
• Chen Yan tested Embodying Nothingness and discovered that attacks could pass through him while the ability was active, though he could sustain it for only a short time.
• Chen Yan examined the requirements for awakening Tai Guang, Shuang Ling, and You Jing and realized his youth had left him without enough breadth of life experience.
• The Heavenly Mystery Book revealed Three Lives Create Myriad Things, and Chen Yan decided to send incarnations into different lives to gain genuine experience.

A colossal Star-Forging Beast ambushed the Spirit Race fleet near Blue Star and swallowed ships and their main-cannon attack. Meanwhile, the East Continent Alliance investigated the unidentified fighter who had effortlessly killed a late Ninth Rank Black Tide Creature and decided to find him.

• The Spirit Descendant led Ling Duo and Ling En's fleets toward Blue Star, then ordered them into a defensive formation after sensing danger.
• A 58,000-meter Star-Forging Beast revealed itself and swallowed twelve of Ling En's warships with its Abyssal Maw.
• Ling En fired the fleet's main cannon at the beast, but it absorbed the attack and turned its energy into fuel.
• The Spirit Descendant realized the fleet had been deceived about the beast's rank as it opened its mouth toward the flagship.
• Zhao Wuji told the East Continent Alliance that an unidentified fighter had effortlessly killed a late Ninth Rank Black Tide Creature without detectable energy fluctuations.
• The Alliance found no records identifying the fighter, and Zhao Wuji said they would find him first.

Zhao Wuji investigated a newly detected extraterrestrial fleet and learned that a Planetary Rank Black Tide Creature was fighting it near Blue Star. As the Alliance prepared for the threat, he called for people to contribute ancient weapons and other resources, hoping humanity could survive the catastrophe.

• Zhao Wuji considered how to advance beyond the Seven Souls and received an alert that the Sky Eye System had detected a large energy source near Blue Star.
• Zhao Wuji and the monitoring center discovered an unfamiliar extraterrestrial fleet fighting a massive Black Tide Creature whose power Xiao Hengzhi identified as Planetary Rank.
• Huo Zhengbang ordered the Alliance to track the creature, raise the alert level, and notify regional command centers.
• Zhao Wuji admitted he could not promise to defeat the Planetary Rank creature, while Chu Feng revealed he possessed the Neptune Civilization's ultimate inheritance and offered Zhao Wuji control of it.
• Zhao Wuji told Chu Feng to keep the inheritance and asked Huo Zhengbang to call on martial arts universities and families to contribute ancient weapons and resources.

Du Qionghua and Du Chun took shelter as the Spirit Race threatened Blue Star, while Chen Yan discovered that Ling Duo’s seven warships were heading for the planet. Ling Duo’s forces descended on Blue Star, where they began extracting its mineral resources, and Chen Yan prepared to confront them.

• Du Qionghua reassured Du Chun that Chen Yan had left protective scrolls for their family, and they stayed in the shelter as a rumble sounded outside.
• Chen Yan used the Heavenly Mystery Book to learn that Ling Duo’s seven warships would land at three locations, including Jiang City.
• Ling Duo brought a warship down over Blue Star and judged its people too weak to resist colonization.
• Ling Duo scanned Blue Star, found rich mineral deposits, and ordered the seven warships to begin extracting energy from underground veins.
• Ling Duo watched the extraction progress and remarked that Ling En’s death meant fewer people would share the spoils.

Ling Duo’s Spirit Race battleship mined Blue Star’s underground resources while its crew planned to build a weapon to kill the Star-Forging Beast. Zhao Wuji arrived in Jiang City and helped launch a coordinated ambush that struck the battleship, but its fate remained unclear.

• Ling Duo discovered Blue Star’s rich underground deposits and continued charging the fleet while planning to build a Giant-Killer Laser Cannon.
• The alien warship hovered over Jiang City as residents evacuated, and Alliance leaders sent Zhao Wuji to defend the city.
• Zhao Wuji reached Jiang City and learned the warship was extracting energy underground; he prepared to create an opening for the city’s ancient weapons.
• Ling Duo’s battleship reached 87% charge before Zhao Wuji triggered a thousandfold gravity field and struck it with the Silver Hammer, disrupting its systems and shattering Ling Duo’s consciousness.
• Jiang City’s High-Energy Laser Array and other weapons hit the battleship during Ling Duo’s brief incapacitation, while Zhao Wuji remained in midair, bleeding and holding his position.

Ling Duo survived the assault on his warship and escaped to the South Ocean, but Chen Yan’s guaranteed-hit spear found him there. Ling Duo and the wreckage were destroyed, ending the Spirit Race attack.

• Ling Duo’s spirit survived Zhao Wuji’s assault and the Nine-Headed Great Saint’s gravity attack, though his warship was badly damaged.
• Ling Duo ignited the warship’s reserves and teleported the wreckage to the South Ocean before Zhao Wuji and the Nine-Headed Great Saint could stop him.
• Ling Duo began recovering in the South Ocean while Chen Yan formed a small spear from his mental power and launched it with a guaranteed hit.
• The spear pierced the warship, its barriers, and Ling Duo’s Spirit Core, causing his spirit to disintegrate.
• Ling Duo’s warship exploded underwater, and the resulting whirlpool swallowed its wreckage.

Chen Yan killed Ling Duo, recovered his Spirit Core, and restored enough of the alien warship to claim its technology and supplies. With only thirteen hours before the next threat, he told Zhao Wuji that two powerful aliens remained and urged Blue Star to use the warship to advance its technology and unite its forces.

• Chen Yan seized Ling Duo's Spirit Core, sealed it against self-destruction, and reversed time to restore about seventy percent of the warship.
• Chen Yan tricked the warship's systems into accepting Ling Duo as critically wounded and hibernating, then surveyed its technology and breakthrough treasures.
• Chen Yan reviewed the God-Slaying Spear's limits and realized he had only thirteen hours before the danger predicted by the Heavenly Mystery Book.
• Zhao Wuji and the wounded Nine-Headed Great Saint waited among Jiang City's ruins, while Blue Star's leaders raised South Ocean monitoring after receiving news that the enemy vessel had escaped.
• Chen Yan told Zhao Wuji that Ling Duo was dead and that he would try to kill the two Planetary Rank Perfection beings in outer space.
• Chen Yan warned that the Spirit Race could send a stronger force and advised Zhao Wuji to use the warship to develop Blue Star's technology and establish the Blue Star Watchers Association to unify the world's forces.

Chen Yan’s plan brought Blue Star’s nations together under the Blue Star Civilization United Nations, and he began using Ling Duo’s memories to consider securing the Terra Cosmic Human Empire’s protection. He then turned his attention to the two Planetary Rank Perfections fighting in the Solar System.

• Huo Zhengbang sent the East Continent Alliance’s proposal to establish the Blue Star Community of Shared Future, and Tianzhu quickly agreed and sought a permanent Security Council seat.
• The Americas Parliament joined the proposal and offered member states half-price access to its gene-enhancement drugs, prompting the remaining countries to apply while Dongying held out.
• At the virtual meeting, Yamada Yoshinobu lowered his head, and Huo Zhengbang established the Blue Star Civilization United Nations without objection.
• Member states began operating under the new framework and received access to advanced technology reverse-engineered from Spirit Race warships, improving life across Blue Star.
• Chen Yan refined Ling Duo’s Spirit Core, learned about the Terra Cosmic Human Empire’s protection system, and decided that the two Planetary Rank Perfections fighting in the Solar System were the immediate priority.

Chen Yan struck down the weakened Star-Forging Beast and Spirit Descendant, ending Blue Star’s immediate crisis, then discovered the Spirit Descendant’s core carried a tracking imprint from a being above Stellar Rank. He severed the contaminated strand of divine sense and realized he needed to contact the Terra Human Empire before the Spirit Race Civilization retaliated.

• The Spirit Descendant sacrificed warships to detonate inside the Star-Forging Beast, gravely wounding it as his fleet and burning Spirit Body neared collapse.
• Chen Yan used the Heavenly Mystery Book’s predicted opening to send a God-Slaying Spear across space and time, destroying the Star-Forging Beast and the Spirit Descendant’s Spirit Body.
• Zhao Wuji and the Nine-Headed Great Saint sensed the two Planetary Rank auras vanish, while Chen Yan gathered the beast’s statue and the Spirit Descendant’s Origin Spirit Core.
• Chen Yan explored the core and awakened a spiritual imprint from a higher-level Spirit Race being, which branded his divine sense and searched for him across the stars.
• Chen Yan hid with [Embodying Nothingness], then cut away the marked strand of divine sense and resolved to contact the Terra Human Empire before the Spirit Race Civilization’s retaliation.

Chen Yan told Zhao Wuji and Nine-Headed Great Saint that Blue Star needed a Planet Lord to seek protection from the Terra Cosmic Human Empire, and Nine-Headed Great Saint agreed to the War of Godheads. Three months later, an Empire official approved Blue Star's application, while Huo Zhengbang and the others awaited the reply.

• The East Continent Alliance announced that the Black Tide no longer posed an active invasion threat, though Zhao Wuji and Nine-Headed Great Saint learned the crisis was not truly over when Chen Yan summoned them.
• Chen Yan explained that the Star-Forging Beast had escaped gravely wounded and the Spirit Race threat remained, then proposed that one of them become Blue Star's Planet Lord and apply for Empire protection.
• Chen Yan described the Planet Lord's power and lifelong bond to Blue Star; Nine-Headed Great Saint accepted the War of Godheads, and Zhao Wuji asked whether he could help.
• Three months later, a Planet Administration Bureau official reviewed Chen Yan's detailed application for Blue Star and approved it.
• Huo Zhengbang and the others waited anxiously for the Empire's response as Blue Star's scientists studied the captured Spirit Race warships.

Nine-Heads secured Empire administration for Blue Star, while Chen Yan refined two Spirit Cores to strengthen his will before deciding he needed more life experience. A year later, Chen Yan painted Yu Qingmeng in the Blood Moon Realm, though his portrait of her turned out to be a pink sword-wielding cat.

• Nine-Heads and Huo Zhengbang answered the Planet Administration Bureau’s questions, and the Terra Cosmic Human Empire approved Blue Star’s application for administration and protection.
• Chen Yan refined Ling Duo and Spirit Descendant’s Spirit Cores, endured their resentful illusions until he reached his limit, and decided to leave at least three days between sessions.
• Chen Yan considered seeking more life experience to strengthen his will and recalled sending memory-wiped clones into the human world.
• A year later, Blue Star and the Blood Moon Realm had merged further, and Chen Yan painted Yu Qingmeng lying in a wheat field.
• Yu Qingmeng complained when Chen Yan showed her a landscape painting without her in it, then delighted in his second painting of a pink cat wielding a flying sword.

Chen Yan returned to Zhenyue Martial Arts Hall with Yu Qingmeng, where they met Bai Lingshuang and discussed the Terra Cosmic Human Empire’s assessment of Blue Star. Bai Lingshuang revealed that talented Blue Star cultivators could study at the Empire’s Dao Academies, and Chen Yan explained the minimum requirements for admission.

• Yu Qingmeng questioned Chen Yan about whether he had ever gone out with another girl, and he denied it while she used her Void Dao Pupils to check his honesty.
• Chen Yan and Yu Qingmeng returned to Zhenyue Martial Arts Hall and found Bai Lingshuang waiting for Chen Yan in the reception room.
• Bai Lingshuang told Chen Yan and Yu Qingmeng that an envoy from the Terra Cosmic Human Empire had arrived to assess Blue Star.
• Bai Lingshuang explained that talented Apprentice Rank lives could be sent to Dao Academies after Blue Star joined the Empire’s administration.
• Chen Yan said candidates needed to reach Apprentice Rank Eight before age one hundred, and described how Dao Academies ranked geniuses by how early they could become Starry Sky Lives.

Chen Yan learned that Blue Star’s limited resources made sending students to the Terra Empire’s Dao Academy a risky choice, then received an upgraded system with new deduction and combat simulation functions. He tested his strength against simulated Nine-Heads and, after surviving a challenge from fifty copies, raised the test to one hundred.

• Nine-Heads told Chen Yan that Dao Academy placements required costly mineral resources and that Blue Star’s E-class rating depended largely on its untapped reserves.
• Chen Yan received the system upgrade, which revealed his quantified powers and combat bonus and added Deduction and Combat Simulation modules.
• Chen Yan summoned a simulated Nine-Heads and destroyed it instantly with the Power of Calamity Destruction.
• Chen Yan defeated thirty simulated Nine-Heads instantly, then used the Power of Void to evade attacks from fifty copies.
• Chen Yan recognized that fifty Nine-Heads pushed his strength to a new threshold and summoned one hundred for the next test.

Chen Yan tested his strength against a hundred Nine-Heads and Spirit Descendant, then used the new Deduction function to find a path for the Blue Star Civilization to improve its ranking. The chapter ended with inspector Kalan leaving Blue Star, curious whether its promising disciples would surprise him.

• Chen Yan defeated a hundred Planetary Rank First-Stage Nine-Heads, then fought and overcame Spirit Descendant through his resilience and regeneration.
• Chen Yan used Deduction to identify three plans that could raise the Blue Star Civilization to the top 1,000 E-class civilizations within five years.
• Chen Yan learned that he was expected to awaken his First Soul in three days and could assimilate the cosmic powers Ling Duo had wielded.
• A few days later, Kalan left Blue Star and reflected that its disciples might still give him a few surprises.
