• Scorpio showed Lin Ye an illusion of his homeland, the Scorpio Galaxy, as the seal weakened and the Chaos Void began devouring it.

Scorpio fought Lin Ye while arguing that the Chaos Void had been created by the Ancient Guardians’ failed experiment and that reshaping the universe with Void power was the only way to prevent its return. Lin Ye understood Scorpio’s grief but rejected his plan to destroy all life, and their battle continued in Atlantis.

• Scorpio told Lin Ye that the Chaos Void had devoured his homeland, family, and billions of lives, and said he intended to reshape the universe with Void power.
• Lin Ye condemned Scorpio’s plan and fought him, using Fivefold Fusion but struggling against Scorpio’s overwhelming attacks.

• Scorpio wounded Lin Ye and hurled him into a temple wall, but Lin Ye still argued that destroying the universe made Scorpio no different from the Chaos Void.

• Scorpio revealed that Astra, the first Star Guardian, had created the constellation seals and wielded the Genesis Star Sword, which needed all twelve marks to awaken fully.
• Lin Ye used the incomplete sword’s Dawn of First Light attack against Scorpio, who answered with Fivefold Defense.

Lin Ye wounded Scorpio with the Genesis Star Sword but paid for its power with much of his life force. Aquilis broke free of Void Control and sacrificed herself to destroy Atlantis, while Lin Ye escaped and vowed to stop Scorpio.

Lin Ye reunited with the injured Seraphina in a ruined star system and learned that Asteria and Titan had been captured for the Void Empire’s identity-erasing Void Conversion experiment. They planned to rescue their companions at the Sirius Star Domain, and discovered strange metal fragments that purified Void Energy.

• Lin Ye and Seraphina searched an asteroid belt for useful wreckage and found blue rune-covered fragments that absorbed Void Energy and released pure white light.

Lin Ye and Seraphina traveled to the Sirius Star Domain and discovered a fortress that was converting prisoners into Void Warriors. They reached its perimeter under cover, leaving Lin Ye to understand the fortress’s purpose as a conversion factory.

• Lin Ye and Seraphina found special metal in the ruins and repaired their ship enough to maneuver.
• Seraphina intercepted a report that the Capricorn Guardian conversion was 65% complete and that the Void Emperor would soon inspect the fortress, so she proposed disguising their ship with the special metal.
• After three days of covert travel, Lin Ye and Seraphina reached the contaminated Sirius Star Domain and saw a huge, biological-looking fortress between its infected stars.
• Seraphina identified captured Alliance warships among the fortress’s defenses, and Lin Ye used the special metal to cloak their ship as they approached.
• Lin Ye and Seraphina saw prisoners enter the fortress and newly converted Void Warriors emerge, revealing that the fortress was a conversion factory.

• Lin Ye and Seraphina reached the core laboratory, where Asteria was having her Libra Mark’s power extracted and Titan was being converted.
• Voidified Sagittarius oversaw Titan’s conversion and remarked that Capricorn’s earth-element power was tenacious.

Lin Ye and Seraphina rescued Asteria from Sagittarius’s laboratory after Titan sacrificed his life force to resist conversion by the Void. Surrounded by Void Warriors and forced to fight Sagittarius, Lin Ye faced his former comrade while Asteria remained weak and Titan neared death.

• Titan burned his life force and used the Capricorn Secret Art: Earth Shatter, wrecking the laboratory and triggering the fortress alarm.
• Lin Ye and Seraphina broke into the laboratory; Lin Ye freed Asteria from the energy extractor and Seraphina tried to rescue Titan.
• Titan told Lin Ye and Seraphina that he was dying and urged them to kill Sagittarius for his betrayal.
• Sagittarius attacked the intruders with Shadow Arrow Rain as Void Warriors flooded the laboratory.
• Lin Ye defended the group with the Genesis Star Sword while Seraphina began healing Asteria, and Sagittarius shot a corrosive Void arrow at Lin Ye.

The Starlight Resistance Army rescued Lin Ye, Seraphina, and Asteria from the Void Fortress, but Titan sacrificed himself to help them escape. Nova brought the survivors to Starlight Base, a hidden stronghold with more than fifty thousand resistance fighters.

Learning that the Chaos Void’s seal was weakening, Lin Ye resolved to seek the mark and accepted Pisces’s power before setting out.

• Seraphina treated the unconscious Asteria, while Lin Ye and Apollo mourned Titan and discussed their losses.
• Pisces arrived and explained that his younger brother had died passing him the Pisces mark, which he used to rally survivors and build a resistance base.
• Pisces revealed that Cancer’s mark was hidden in Astra’s ruins in the Forbidden Starfield, where Scorpio’s forces guarded the entrance and Astra’s trials protected the core.
• Pisces warned that the Chaos Void’s seal was weakening abnormally fast and could destroy the universe if it broke.
• Lin Ye decided to enter the Forbidden Starfield to obtain the Cancer mark, and Pisces gave him the Pisces mark to aid him.

Lin Ye and his companions traveled to the Forbidden Starfield to seek the complete power of the Genesis Star Sword. Astra challenged Lin Ye to overcome three trials and warned him that he must fight to protect hope, not out of revenge.

• Lin Ye accepted the Starlight Resistance Army's support and set out with Seraphina and Asteria while Pisces stayed behind to coordinate the war.
• The group reached the Forbidden Starfield, where an ancient force field disabled their modern technology and led them to the First-Generation Guardians' temple.
• When Lin Ye entered the temple, Astra questioned why he had come, and he said he wanted to stop the Void Emperor, save lives, and avenge his fallen companions.
• Astra warned Lin Ye that revenge would lead him astray and told him to fight for hope and the future before he could inherit the Genesis Star Sword's complete power.
• Three gates appeared in the temple: the Courage Gate, the Wisdom Gate, and the Sacrifice Gate, beginning Astra's trials.

Lin Ye faced repeated illusions of his companions’ deaths in the Courage Gate and learned that courage meant carrying on despite loss. He accepted their trust and resolved to finish their shared mission as the trial ended.

• Lin Ye saw that changing each sacrifice caused even greater disasters for civilians and his companions.
• Astra asked Lin Ye whether he would die in their place and reminded him that the universe still needed him to complete his mission.
• Lin Ye accepted his companions’ sacrifices and resolved to keep fighting while carrying their hopes.
• The painful illusions collapsed, and Drax, Alyia, Ace, Anailis, and Titan appeared to encourage Lin Ye.

Lin Ye and his companions studied the First-Generation Guardians’ records and learned to balance six Constellation Powers to activate the Wisdom Gate’s array. The trial then revealed the Guardians’ ancient battle against the Chaos Void, leaving Lin Ye to observe their formation.

• Lin Ye passed the Courage Gate, and Astra declared that he had found true courage.
• Lin Ye, Seraphina, and Asteria entered the Wisdom Gate and examined its shifting constellation runes and six-part magic array.
• Lin Ye’s first attempt to activate the array caused the elemental powers to clash, so he stopped the flow before it exploded.
• Seraphina discovered the Harmonizing Runes, and Asteria used Libra’s power to help Lin Ye balance paired elements.
• Lin Ye and his companions activated the array, which revealed the First-Generation Guardians fighting the Chaos Void in a linked formation.

Lin Ye learned to fuse his six Constellation Powers and entered the Sacrifice Gate, where he faced a choice between rescuing the besieged Starlight Resistance Base and obtaining the Cancer Mark. The chapter ended with him weighing the lives of fifty thousand people against the chance to stop the Chaos Void, before he made his choice.

• Lin Ye cycled his six Constellation Powers together, forming a new energy and strengthening the Genesis Star Sword.
• Astra praised Lin Ye’s progress, and the Wisdom Gate opened to reveal the temple beyond the Sacrifice Gate.

• A second crystal sphere revealed the Cancer Mark and warned that choosing it would leave Lin Ye unable to return for twenty-four hours.
• Astra explained that Lin Ye could either rescue the Resistance Army or claim the mark, and Lin Ye considered the sacrifices of his companions as he weighed the two options.

Lin Ye, Seraphina, and Asteria shared the burden of choosing between saving the Resistance Army and obtaining the Cancer mark, and Astra granted them a way to accomplish both. Lin Ye claimed the Cancer mark, transforming the Genesis Star Sword and gaining the power to contend with the Void Emperor.

Lin Ye and the others faced the Void Emperor Scorpio as his fleet surrounded the Forbidden Starfield and battered Astra’s temple. Scorpio revealed his plan to reshape the universe through Voidification, while Astra opposed him, leaving Lin Ye trapped between the overwhelming fleet and the conflict’s history.

• A massive Void Fleet attacked the temple, weakening the ancient sealing barrier as Lin Ye and the others saw Scorpio’s flagship descend.
