Chapter Summary: “Are You a Superman Fan Too?”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Lin Feng tells Tony that he plans to leave the Marvel Universe again within a few days to investigate cosmic coordinates provided by Deadpool and capture black-robed men for interrogation.
• Because Tony’s communicator only works within the Marvel Universe, Lin Feng instructs him to use the emergency distress beacon if anything serious happens.
• Lin Feng has distributed only a small number of these beacons to trusted allies, including Tony, Rocket, Susan, Deadpool, and Xixing.
• Unbeknownst to Lin Feng, Xixing is no longer in the Marvel Universe. She is preparing for another mission alongside a combat squad.

• Linglu notices the strange bracelet Xixing wears and discovers that its metal pendant bears Superman’s emblem.
• Xixing explains that the bracelet was given to her by a male customer who used it to pay an unpaid bar tab. Linglu suspects the gift is romantic, especially because Xixing normally refuses jewelry from others.

• Unspoken affection: Xixing’s denial of romantic feelings contrasts with her continued use of Lin Feng’s gift, hinting at feelings she may not yet acknowledge.
• Identity and cultural misunderstanding: The Superman symbol has different meanings to the characters. Linglu recognizes it as a heroic emblem, while Xixing sees it only as an unfamiliar decoration.
• Friendship and loyalty: Linglu’s support for Xixing and her younger sister demonstrates the importance of companionship amid dangerous missions.

Chapter Summary: “Ran Into a Real Fellow Countryman?”

• With the space crisis temporarily settled, Lin Feng spends time shopping and relaxing with Susan and Wanda.
• Lin Feng gives Susan the unconscious Symbiote. If she merged with it, she could gain roughly half of Lin Feng’s power—enough to destroy planets—but Susan finds the Symbiote disgusting and postpones using it. Together with the Special Kryptonite Lin Feng gave her, it would nevertheless make her extremely powerful.
• Wanda has greatly improved her control over magic, no longer causing accidents when handling objects.
• Lin Feng enjoys sunbathing, one of his new habits since becoming Superman, but his relaxation is interrupted when his Distress Beacon signals an emergency from Xixing.
• Assuming Xixing may be in danger, Lin Feng immediately travels through a Portal to the beacon’s coordinates, even considering using the Time Stone if necessary.
• He arrives not in the Marvel Universe, but in a brightly lit changing room where Xixing and an unfamiliar black-haired young woman are present. There is no apparent danger, suggesting the beacon may have been activated accidentally.
• The young woman recognizes Lin Feng as Superman, identifies his black suit as resembling the Man of Steel version, and notices that his East Asian appearance does not match familiar versions of the character.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng: Shows increasing confidence in his overwhelming abilities, traveling fearlessly into an unknown universe to help Xixing. His fondness for sunbathing reflects how his Superman identity has changed his ordinary habits. He becomes intensely curious when he realizes the girl may be a fellow “viewer” or person familiar with his original culture.
• Susan: Gains access to immense potential power through the Symbiote and Special Kryptonite, but remains reluctant to pursue strength for its own sake. Her disgust toward the Symbiote emphasizes her personal boundaries and pragmatic attitude.
• Wanda: Demonstrates significant growth in magical control and discipline, suggesting she is becoming more reliable and powerful.

• The black-ponytailed woman: Immediately recognizes Lin Feng’s Superman identity and reacts with fan-like excitement. Her knowledge of pop culture and use of Chinese reveal that she may share Lin Feng’s background or come from a closely related world.

Significant Themes

Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

• Lin Feng tests Linglu by asking which version of Spider-Man she prefers. Her answer about “Holland Bro” confirms that she comes from Beyond the Fourth Wall, like him.
• Linglu realizes Lin Feng is a transmigrator because he knows about Spider-Man despite being associated with DC’s Superman. The two excitedly embrace after discovering they are fellow countrymen.
• Lin Feng questions the system, which admits that Linglu is not technically the same kind of transmigrator. She was not transported into a fictional universe but was instead taken from her world by an entity called the Overmind.
• Lin Feng and Linglu exchange information about their homeland, Blue Star. Linglu reveals that her world has reached 2022, while Lin Feng left in 2020, suggesting that time progresses similarly across the worlds.
• Linglu explains that she and others were pulled into a dangerous, infinite-flow-like system when facing life-threatening situations. The Overmind “saved” them but forces them to complete deadly missions in exchange for their lives.
• Participants must complete fifty missions to regain their freedom. However, the forty-fifth mission allegedly begins a “Great Purge,” with survival becoming nearly impossible. No one has yet escaped.
• Between missions, participants receive ten days to return to their original worlds. The Overmind appears as a massive green sphere of light.

• Xixing silently watches Lin Feng and Linglu’s affectionate reunion and experiences an unexplained feeling of jealousy or emotional discomfort.
• Lin Feng’s relationship with the system develops through humorous distrust: he challenges its claim that no other Beyond-the-Fourth-Wall transmigrators exist, while the system offers a technical explanation.

Significant themes

• Connection and homesickness: Lin Feng and Linglu’s meeting provides both with a rare connection to their shared homeland.
• Identity across worlds: Their discussion explores the distinction between different forms of transmigration and the uncertainty of what qualifies someone as a “transmigrator.”

• Xixing’s silent observation contrasts with the open excitement between Lin Feng and Linglu, revealing an emotional undercurrent in the group.

Key plot points and events

• Lin Feng also hopes to learn more about the missions’ connection to the real world and possibly use Linglu’s knowledge to explore the “Beyond the Fourth Wall” mystery.
• Linglu attempts to offer him bizarre mission rewards—including mechanical toys and strange objects—but Lin Feng dismisses them and instead asks about the mission system and how participants return to reality after completing missions.
• Before Linglu can explain, Little Chuxing arrives, sent by Captain Arnold to find Xixing and Linglu. Chuxing appears to be a young, frightened girl, but Lin Feng notices that her fear is partly an act and that she is secretly prepared to draw a weapon.
• Xixing introduces Chuxing to Lin Feng and reassures her that he is not an enemy. The group then leaves to join the rest of the team, with Lin Feng changing out of his Superman suit into ordinary clothing.
• The six-member team reacts warily when Lin Feng appears. A blond, muscular teammate demands to know who he is, setting up a confrontation or explanation.

Character developments

• Lin Feng: Demonstrates generosity by agreeing to help without demanding payment, while revealing a deeper curiosity about the Overmind, mission worlds, and the possibility of returning to the real world. He also recognizes and appreciates Chuxing’s combat instincts rather than underestimating her because of her age.
• Linglu: Shows both her fear of death and her resourcefulness. She is relieved by Lin Feng’s agreement and eagerly tries to compensate him, but her awkwardness highlights her modesty and lack of confidence regarding what she can offer.

• Survival and maturity: The dangerous missions have forced Chuxing to develop adult-level caution despite her young age.

• Horse Face Steven becomes jealous and resentful after seeing Linglu comfortably interacting with Lin Feng.
• After thirty minutes of slow progress, Lin Feng grows impatient and considers capturing the Predators himself, but hesitates because doing so might undermine the team’s cooperation. He ultimately continues chatting with Linglu.

• Linglu tests the bracers and discovers that her physical abilities and vision have greatly improved. Lin Feng lends her the Power Stone, giving her overwhelming offensive power.
• Lin Feng divides the group into two teams:
  • Linglu leads the main squad toward more enemies, using the Power Stone.
  • Lin Feng takes Xixing and Little Chuxing away to help them complete their missions.
• Lin Feng notices that Xixing is jealous because he has been spending time with Linglu, so he deliberately takes Xixing and her younger sister along with him.
• Using telekinesis, Lin Feng makes the two sisters fly and transports them rapidly through the forest in search of enemies.
• To help them complete their mission efficiently, Lin Feng weakens each Predator or Xenomorph before allowing Xixing or Little Chuxing to deliver the final blow.
• Their teamwork becomes nearly mechanical and extremely effective. Xixing and Little Chuxing quickly complete their required kills, then continue hunting for additional rewards.
• After roughly an hour and a half, Xixing and Little Chuxing have each killed dozens of enemies. Lin Feng stops the hunt only after learning through X-Ray Vision that Linglu’s group has also finished its mission.
• When Lin Feng returns with the sisters, he finds Linglu’s squad standing in a clearing filled with scorched trees, suggesting that Linglu used the Power Stone extensively.
• The atmosphere is tense, however. Linglu approaches Lin Feng in distress, and he realizes that someone appears to be missing—Horse Face Steven.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng continues to act as the group’s overwhelmingly powerful leader. He demonstrates both his immense abilities and his tendency to manipulate situations for amusement, such as secretly planning to reclaim the Superman Bracers if necessary.
• Linglu gains confidence after receiving the bracers and Power Stone. Her new abilities make her capable of effortlessly annihilating Predators, though her use of the Power Stone appears excessive and destructive.
• Xixing initially feels neglected and jealous of Lin Feng’s attention toward Linglu. After Lin Feng takes her hunting, her mood changes completely; she becomes excited, relaxed, and increasingly eager to kill enemies for rewards.
• Little Chuxing proves unusually resilient for a child, enduring hours of travel without complaint. Unlike Xixing, she is immediately comfortable with flight and even enjoys it.
• Horse Face Steven becomes important at the chapter’s conclusion because his apparent absence creates a sudden mystery and suggests that something may have gone wrong with Linglu’s team.

Significant Themes

• Power and dependence: Ordinary fighters become extraordinarily effective through Lin Feng’s equipment and guidance, emphasizing the vast gap between his power and theirs.
• Efficiency and exploitation: The monster hunt is reduced to “assembly-line” killing, with Lin Feng doing nearly all the difficult work while the sisters claim the final blows and rewards.
• Trust and control: Lin Feng lends Linglu the Power Stone because he trusts her, but he also secretly retains control through the ability to recall the bracers at any time.
• Jealousy and emotional attention: Xixing’s resentment comes from feeling neglected, and Lin Feng resolves the tension by giving her personal attention rather than by directly addressing the emotion.
• Violence as entertainment and advancement: Killing enemies is treated like leveling up in a game. The sisters become desensitized to violence as the process grows easier and more rewarding.

Character Interactions

• Lin Feng patiently instructs Linglu and encourages her to trust her new abilities.
• He teases Linglu and uses exaggerated confidence to motivate her.
• He recognizes Xixing’s jealousy and jokingly calls her a “resentful wife,” creating a playful but revealing exchange.
• Xixing follows Lin Feng despite her initial confusion, and her trust in him grows as he safely guides her and Little Chuxing through the hunt.
• Lin Feng’s coordination with the sisters becomes highly efficient: he locates and weakens enemies, while they deliver the finishing attacks.
• The chapter ends with Linglu seeking Lin Feng’s help after an unexplained incident involving the missing Steven, shifting the tone from playful slaughter to possible danger.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Lin Feng learns that Steven, nicknamed “Horse Face,” has died. Linglu explains that Steven attempted to steal the Infinity Stones, prompting her to kill him with the Power Stone.
• Neither Arnold nor Barnett blames Linglu, since Steven’s greed and questionable character caused his own downfall. The team will likely need to recruit new members to meet its minimum size requirement.
• Lin Feng asks Linglu about the mission’s completion and learns that the team can return to the Overmind through a teleportation process leading to a vast White Space, where mission points are settled and rewards can be purchased.

• Linglu: Demonstrates strong moral character by returning the Infinity Stone bracer despite its immense value. Her loyalty, humility, and willingness to help cause Lin Feng to place significant trust in her.
• Steven/Horse Face: His greed is confirmed as the cause of his death. His attempt to seize the Infinity Stones exposes him as untrustworthy and leaves the team without one of its members.
• Arnold and Barnett: Accept Steven’s death without blaming Linglu and show discretion by leaving Lin Feng and Linglu to discuss private matters.
• Xixing and Little Chuxing: Xixing remains detached, while Little Chuxing is relieved by Steven’s death because of his unsettling behavior toward her.

Chapter Summary: “Arrangements for a Fellow Countrywoman, Experiment Begins”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Linglu successfully helps Lin Feng verify that the distress beacon can contact people beyond the Fourth Wall, raising the possibility that he may eventually return to his homeland.
• As a reward, Lin Feng gives Linglu the last Symbiote in his possession. It originated from Spider-Gwen’s Symbiote and has been modified to remove its bloodthirsty nature, allowing it to amplify the host’s positive traits instead.
• Lin Feng instructs Linglu to fuse with the Symbiote after returning home, emphasizing that it is far more powerful than the movie version of Venom and could greatly improve her survival chances during future Light Brain missions.
• He also gives her a USB drive containing advanced Marvel technology, primarily Stark Industries’ research, and asks her to deliver it to her world’s authorities if doing so does not endanger her.
• Lin Feng stresses that the technological transfer is a long-term plan intended to strengthen his homeland and prepare for future threats, especially the Black Robes and other possible enemies beyond the Fourth Wall.
• Linglu returns home through the teleportation halo, promising to bring Lin Feng local specialties the next time they meet.
• After she leaves, Lin Feng investigates two abandoned Predator spacecraft. He stores both ships in his system space for Tony to study later.
• He also collects two large containers of Xenomorph blood for research, intrigued by its ability to corrode metal alloys.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng continues to act as a protector and long-term strategist. He rewards Linglu generously, not only out of gratitude but also because her survival is important to his future plans. He also begins actively gathering alien technology and biological materials for research.
• Lin Feng becomes increasingly concerned about the vulnerability of fellow countrymen in other mission teams, particularly if the Black Robes discover them.
• The relationship between Lin Feng and Linglu becomes more familiar and affectionate. She views him as an impressive “big shot,” while he regards her as a naïve but admirable compatriot.

Significant Themes

• Trust and moral character: Linglu’s willingness to return the Infinity Stones and her reluctance to accept excessive rewards establish her integrity, which earns Lin Feng’s confidence.
• Power used responsibly: Lin Feng gives Linglu a dangerous weapon only after ensuring it has been purified and that she is morally reliable.
• Strengthening the collective: Lin Feng believes technological knowledge and cooperation can help an entire civilization withstand threats better than one individual acting alone.
• Preparation against future danger: The chapter emphasizes planning ahead for the Black Robes, the Fourth Wall threat, and the survival of other fellow countrymen.
• Scientific exploration: The collection of Predator spacecraft and Xenomorph blood marks the beginning of a new research phase involving alien technology and biology.

• Lin Feng prepares to involve Tony in examining the captured Predator ships and Xenomorph blood, expanding the scope of their future experiments.

Chapter Summary: “Variables, Lin Feng Refuses to Give Up”

Plot Points and Events

• After Lin Feng leaves the White Space, Arnold questions Linglu about their private conversation and discreetly checks whether she still possesses the powerful weapon Lin Feng lent her.
• Linglu conceals the truth, claiming Lin Feng only asked her to bring him local specialties. She refuses to reveal his identity or relationship with her, giving Arnold only vague and partially false information about the “Man of Steel.”
• The team settles their mission points and returns to their respective universes.
• Back on Blue Star, Linglu follows Lin Feng’s instructions and fuses with the modified Symbiote. The process is effortless because Lin Feng eliminated compatibility problems.
• The Symbiote dramatically enhances Linglu’s strength and durability. She becomes the strongest being on Blue Star Beyond the Fourth Wall, capable of bending alloy, resisting most firearms, and surviving attacks even without armor.
• Lin Feng’s plan is for Linglu to use her new power both to survive future missions and to submit materials to the authorities without being easily traced.
• Linglu moves into a luxurious apartment with her ordinary best friend, creating a normal cover for her extraordinary activities. Her accumulated mission wealth allows her to live comfortably.
• Once alone, Linglu activates the Superman Distress Beacon, hoping to summon Lin Feng back.
• Lin Feng receives the signal in another dimension and becomes intensely emotional because it confirms contact with his homeland beyond the Fourth Wall.
• However, the beacon provides only unstable, changing garbled coordinates. The signal weakens and disappears before Lin Feng can identify the destination.
• Lin Feng senses a mysterious void separating him from the world beyond the Fourth Wall. Refusing to give up, he uses the Space Stone to lock onto the void and opens a portal, determined to return home.

Character Development

• Linglu becomes more cautious and secretive. Her experience with Horse Face has taught her not to trust others fully, so she protects Lin Feng’s identity and keeps useful information to herself.
• Her fusion with the Symbiote transforms her into an overwhelmingly powerful fighter, giving her greater confidence and independence.
• Lin Feng reveals a deeply emotional side. Despite his composure and tremendous experience, the signal from home awakens his longing and makes him increasingly determined to return.
• His refusal to accept failure demonstrates his persistence and unwillingness to abandon his origins or Linglu’s opportunity to contact him.

• Persistence against impossible odds: Even when the beacon fails and the path home seems unreachable, Lin Feng continues searching rather than surrendering.
• Hidden identities and strategic planning: Both Linglu and Lin Feng rely on disguises, misinformation, and long-term plans to protect themselves and achieve their goals.

Character Interactions

• Arnold probes Linglu about Lin Feng, but she evades him with a fabricated explanation and misleading information.
• Linglu and Lin Feng’s relationship is shown to be much closer and more trusting than her relationship with Arnold, though she still follows his instructions carefully.
• Linglu’s interaction with the Symbiote is cooperative rather than hostile; she feeds it chocolate during the fusion, while it grants her extraordinary abilities.
• Linglu maintains a normal life with her best friend, who remains unaware of her secret powers and mission.
• The activation of the beacon creates a renewed connection between Linglu and Lin Feng, motivating him to attempt a return through the dimensional void.

Summary: Linglu Becomes a Factory Girl—Hometown, Here I Come

Key Plot Points and Events

• Linglu repeatedly activates the Distress Beacon on Blue Star after Lin Feng fails to appear.
• Lin Feng is transported to Hyperspace, where he sees countless colorful “bubbles,” each representing a separate fictional Dimensional Universe. He realizes that his own universe is not among them and that he is still outside the Fourth Wall.
• Linglu’s repeated beacon activation creates a faint signal from Beyond the Fourth Wall. Lin Feng manages to send her a brief instruction: press the beacon continuously and with maximum force.
• Linglu follows his command, using the Symbiote to enhance her arm and pressing the beacon at extraordinary speed. Her efforts steadily strengthen the connection and stabilize the shifting coordinates.
• Lin Feng combines the power of all six Infinity Stones, using the Space Stone to turn the signal into a doorway.
• He enters a golden dimensional passage, but an immense gravitational force attempts to drag him back into Hyperspace. Despite severe strain, he continues toward a distant exit.
• When Lin Feng is nearly overwhelmed, the system provides a powerful repulsive force for one second. He uses the opportunity to leap through the exit and finally reaches Linglu’s room on Blue Star.
• Lin Feng is overjoyed to have returned home, but the chapter ends with a twist: his body is translucent, suggesting that only his soul or spiritual form has crossed the Fourth Wall.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng: Demonstrates persistence, strategic thinking, and overwhelming determination to return home. He improvises a plan around the Distress Beacon and endures extreme dimensional pressure, refusing to give up even when nearly pulled back.
• Linglu: Proves herself resourceful, loyal, and highly responsive under pressure. She transforms from a worried contestant into the essential link that makes Lin Feng’s return possible, pressing the beacon with almost absurd dedication.
• The System: Reinforces its role as a dependable emergency support, intervening at the critical moment by temporarily counteracting the dimensional gravitational force.
• Lin Feng and Linglu: Their partnership deepens as they coordinate across the Fourth Wall, relying on brief, difficult-to-maintain communication.

Significant Themes

• Determination and perseverance: Lin Feng’s refusal to stop moving symbolizes his commitment to returning home despite seemingly impossible obstacles.
• Connection across boundaries: The Distress Beacon represents communication and cooperation bridging separate universes and even the Fourth Wall.
• The limits of power: Although Lin Feng possesses Silver Superman’s strength and all six Infinity Stones, raw power alone cannot solve the problem; timing, strategy, Linglu’s assistance, and the system’s intervention are all necessary.
• Homecoming: Lin Feng’s emotional reaction emphasizes the importance of belonging and returning to one’s origin.
• Uncertain victory: His arrival appears successful, but his translucent body suggests that crossing into the real world may involve new dangers or limitations.

Character Interactions

• Linglu repeatedly attempts to summon Lin Feng and becomes disappointed when he does not appear.
• Lin Feng sends her a one-way instruction through the unstable beacon connection, and she immediately carries it out.
• Their synchronized actions—Linglu’s nonstop pressing and Lin Feng’s manipulation of the signal—create the portal.
• Lin Feng mentally appeals to the system when he reaches his limit, and the system responds just in time to help him escape the dimensional pull.
• Upon arrival, Lin Feng and Linglu are finally reunited in her pink room, though Linglu is left stunned by his mysterious translucent form.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Lin Feng returns from the Marvel Universe to Blue Star, but only his soul makes it back. His powerful Silver Superman body remains stranded in hyperspace.
• Confused and angry, Lin Feng confronts the system, suspecting it lost or sacrificed his body while helping him escape Marvel’s gravitational pull.
• The system explains that Lin Feng’s soul was able to return because he is a native of the Primordial Universe. This native status acted like an “access card,” allowing him to receive Linglu’s Distress Beacon and cross the Fourth Wall.
• However, even Golden Superman would currently lack enough power to bring his physical body back. Lin Feng must grow stronger before attempting to retrieve it.
• The system recommends that Lin Feng continue developing his Silver Superman body by absorbing sunlight for centuries, which frustrates him because Black Robes may threaten Blue Star during that time.
• Lin Feng realizes he can still use abilities such as telekinesis in soul form, but he cannot physically touch objects or drink the water Linglu gives him.
• Linglu reveals that her next mission will take place in one month. Because Lin Feng helped her group complete their previous mission so efficiently, the Overmind granted them three times the normal rest period.
• Lin Feng asks Linglu to summon him for the next mission, while noting that he can now travel beyond the Fourth Wall independently and begin making plans of his own.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng: Becomes aware of the severe limitations of his current soul-only state and the immense difficulty of recovering his body. His initial anger gradually shifts into reluctant acceptance and strategic planning. He also recognizes that increasing his strength is unavoidable.
• The System: Reveals more about the laws governing travel between universes and admits that Lin Feng’s body remains in hyperspace. Although evasive at first, it ultimately reassures him that the body is not lost.
• Linglu: Shows caution and respect toward Lin Feng after witnessing his unstable emotional state. She proves once again that her use of the Distress Beacon was essential to his return and learns about his current condition.

Significant Themes

• The cost of power and dimensional travel: Lin Feng’s immense strength is still insufficient to overcome the boundaries between universes.
• Identity and belonging: His status as a native of the Primordial Universe is what allows him to return, suggesting that origin and identity can matter more than raw power.
• Forced growth and urgency: Lin Feng must become stronger, but doing so may take centuries while enemies continue to threaten his home.
• Dependence versus independence: Although Lin Feng still needs the system and Linglu’s assistance, his ability to cross the Fourth Wall gives him greater freedom to act independently.

Character Interactions

• Lin Feng angrily confronts the system about the disappearance of his body, leading to an explanation of the dimensional travel rules.
• He later thanks Linglu for activating the Distress Beacon, acknowledging that she played a crucial role in bringing his soul home.
• Lin Feng and Linglu discuss his condition using the example of Doctor Strange’s astral form, which Linglu understands because of her familiarity with Marvel and DC.
• Before parting, Lin Feng asks Linglu to summon him for her group’s next mission, preserving their cooperation while he prepares his own plans.

Chapter Summary

Plot points and events

• After speaking with Linglu, Lin Feng leaves and travels invisibly in his soul form back to Earth, wanting to revisit his former home.
• He returns to his small house in Fengdong, which remains intact but dusty after his unexplained disappearance. He powers on his old computer and reflects on his ordinary life before becoming Superman in the Marvel Universe.
• Lin Feng asks the system how long he can remain outside his body. The system says his soul could survive away from his body for up to a year, though prolonged separation is dangerous because his body in Hyperspace could potentially be attacked.
• He decides to visit his childhood orphanage and observe how his hometown has changed. During the journey, he notices the enormous development of the land since he left.
• At the orphanage, Lin Feng secretly watches the children eating dinner and sees the now half-gray-haired director caring for them.
• The chapter ends with a sudden ominous development: Lin Feng’s otherwise soulless body, still in Hyperspace, raises its head and opens its eyes.

Character development

• Lin Feng reveals more about his background: he was an orphan, had few close relationships, and lived a largely solitary but respectable life before his disappearance.
• Returning home reconnects him emotionally with his identity and origins. Despite gaining immense power and living in another universe, he still feels attachment to Earth and refuses to forget where he came from.
• He recognizes that his earlier loneliness made it easier to accept his life in the Marvel Universe, but he still values his homeland and considers eventually bringing Susan there.
• Lin Feng has become more strategic and responsible. He begins planning to use resources from Marvel to help develop Earth and prepare for future threats, rather than leaving everything to Linglu.

Significant themes

• Home and identity: Lin Feng’s return emphasizes that extraordinary experiences have not erased his original identity or emotional ties to Earth.
• Memory and nostalgia: His old house, computer, and orphanage evoke the contrast between his quiet former life and his current existence as a superpowered being.
• Growth and perspective: As an adult, Lin Feng can reinterpret childhood experiences and appreciate the sacrifices of the director.
• Responsibility and preparation: His intention to bring back technology or resources reflects his growing desire to protect and improve his homeland.

Chapter Summary: “Dreaming of the Future, When His Body Suddenly Ran Away?”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After visiting the orphanage, Lin Feng leaves without contacting the director because his current soul-like, invisible state might frighten him.
• He flies toward the imperial capital while planning how to strengthen and protect his true homeland, the “Primordial Universe.”
• Lin Feng considers contacting a trustworthy patriotic official, possibly the First Elder, to introduce powerful resources from the Marvel Universe.
• His proposed contributions include:
  • Symbiote offspring from Venom or Stinger
  • The improved Super-Soldier Serum
  • Tony Stark’s reactor and nanotechnology
  • Spacecraft, energy-harnessing, and elemental-extraction technologies
  • The dwarves’ Dyson sphere technology
• His goal is to gradually equip Blue Star with advanced technology and ensure his homeland becomes powerful enough to dominate its rivals.
• While admiring the Great Wall and imagining his homeland’s future, Lin Feng receives an alarming message from the system: his physical body has awakened and begun moving independently.
• Lin Feng immediately returns to Hyperspace, where he discovers his body behaving like an awkward newborn and apparently possessing a limited form of self-awareness.
• When Lin Feng’s soul approaches, the body becomes frightened and flies away.
• Lin Feng pursues it through Hyperspace, shouting at the system for failing to warn him about this possibility.
• The system explains that something strange may have entered Lin Feng’s body, temporarily controlling it without being able to use its powerful physique properly.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng: Shows strong patriotism and renewed motivation to improve his true homeland. He shifts from merely gaining personal power to planning the systematic technological and military advancement of Blue Star. His confidence is undercut by panic and frustration when his body becomes autonomous.
• The System: Initially appears unreliable and possibly responsible for another dangerous situation. It eventually offers an explanation, suggesting that an unknown entity has entered Lin Feng’s body.
• Lin Feng’s Body/Unknown Entity: Develops independent movement and rudimentary awareness. Its clumsy behavior suggests that whatever controls it has not yet adapted to Lin Feng’s superhuman body.

Significant Themes

• Patriotism and belonging: Lin Feng distinguishes his genuine homeland from the parallel “East” of the Marvel Universe, emphasizing bloodline, identity, and emotional connection.
• Power used for collective progress: Rather than keeping Marvel’s technology and enhancements for himself, Lin Feng intends to share them carefully to strengthen his people.
• Gradual development: He recognizes that advanced technology must be introduced step by step rather than all at once.
• Unintended consequences: Lin Feng’s seemingly safe decision to leave his body briefly produces an absurd and dangerous complication.

• He mentally plans a future collaboration with the combat division and possibly the First Elder, envisioning how they might react to Symbiotes and the Super-Soldier Serum.
• Lin Feng confronts his runaway body, but it responds by fleeing rather than communicating.
• He angrily questions the system during the chase, while the system defensively claims the incident was accidental and explains that an unknown presence may be controlling the body.

Chapter Summary: “What a Sin—So This Was All My Fault?”

Plot and key events

Lin Feng pursues an entity that has taken control of his body. The stolen body flees into an unknown Dimensional Universe, but its unfamiliar occupant cannot use Lin Feng’s full abilities and slows down. Lin Feng catches it, threatens the entity, and orders it to land on a nearby planet. The entity surrenders, emerging from Lin Feng’s body as a trembling white blob. After the system confirms that his body has not been damaged or altered, Lin Feng re-enters it and regains control.

Character developments

Lin Feng remains cautious despite his anger, refusing to immediately re-enter his body until the system verifies that it is safe. His initial suspicion and aggression toward the white blob gradually shift into curiosity and guilt. The blob transforms into a frightened, childlike figure and explains that it has lost its memories and does not know what it is. It is revealed to be a fusion of spirit and energy, though even the system cannot identify its race.

Revelation and cause of the conflict

The entity did not intentionally steal Lin Feng’s body. It had been sleeping for a very long time and was awakened by powerful energy fluctuations—likely caused by Lin Feng’s use of all six Infinity Stones. Those fluctuations were harming it and causing it to dissipate. Believing Lin Feng’s apparently soulless body was unoccupied, it hid inside temporarily to survive.

Themes

The chapter emphasizes misunderstanding, unintended consequences, and the importance of caution. Lin Feng’s actions indirectly caused the crisis, turning what initially seemed like an attack into an act of self-preservation by an innocent being. The scene also uses humor through the entity’s timid, childlike behavior and Lin Feng’s embarrassed realization that “the real victim” was the creature he had threatened.

Character interactions

Lin Feng confronts the possessed body telepathically and forces it to surrender. He then questions the white blob harshly, while its fear and confusion make it appear more like a frightened child than a dangerous enemy. The system acts as Lin Feng’s investigator, scanning his body and attempting—unsuccessfully—to identify the mysterious entity.

Chapter Summary: “Arrangements for the Little Kid”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Lin Feng notices that the mysterious little kid is gradually becoming transparent and realizing that her existence is fading.
• Feeling responsible because the child was injured due to his actions, Lin Feng agrees to create her a permanent body.
• Rather than using another person’s body, he uses the Reality Stone to manifest a temporary body matching the child’s appearance.
• Lin Feng is unable to determine whether the child is male or female because she has lost her memories and does not understand basic bodily questions. Based on her voice, he creates the body of a young girl.
• The little kid successfully enters and controls the new body, which is highly compatible because it was created specifically for her.
• Lin Feng warns her that the body will eventually disappear because it requires a continuous supply of Reality Stone energy. He decides to take responsibility for her and bring her along.
• Returning to the Marvel Universe via the Space Stone, Lin Feng visits Tony Stark at Stark Tower.
• Tony jokes that the child might be Lin Feng’s daughter with Susan or an illegitimate child, but eventually asks where she came from.
• Lin Feng briefly explains the situation and asks Tony to contact geneticist Helen, whose Regeneration Cradle could create a more lasting body for the child.
• Lin Feng also tries to leave the child in Tony’s care while the new body is being prepared. Tony accepts the task only on the condition that someone else serves as the child’s nanny.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng: Shows a strong sense of responsibility and guilt. Although he initially treats the situation casually, he is genuinely determined to prevent the child from disappearing and refuses to harm an innocent person to give her a body. He also demonstrates his tendency to shift inconvenient responsibilities onto Tony.
• The little kid: Remains confused and without memories, including uncertainty about her own identity and nature. She willingly accepts Lin Feng’s protection and follows his arrangements because he is currently her only source of help.
• Tony Stark: Continues to act sarcastically and mischievously, teasing Lin Feng about the child. Despite his jokes, he recognizes that Lin Feng has encountered a serious problem and agrees to help contact Helen, though he avoids personally caring for the child.

Significant Themes

• Responsibility and guilt: Lin Feng feels morally obligated to help the child because his actions contributed to her condition.
• Identity and embodiment: The child’s lack of memories, uncertain gender, and dependence on a physical body raise questions about what defines a person.
• Science versus supernatural power: Lin Feng uses the Reality Stone to create a body, while Tony and Helen’s technology offer a scientific solution through genetic engineering and the Regeneration Cradle.
• Friendship and comic relief: Tony’s teasing provides humor while also showing the practical, if unconventional, support between the two characters.
• Temporary versus permanent solutions: The Reality Stone’s body is only a short-term fix, prompting the search for a stable, lasting body.

Character Interactions

• Lin Feng questions the child about her identity but gives up when she cannot understand or answer him.
• He reassures her by providing a body and promises to find a better solution.
• Tony teases Lin Feng about being the child’s father, irritating him before shifting to genuine curiosity.
• Lin Feng asks Tony to contact Helen and attempts to place the child under Tony’s supervision.
• Tony agrees to help but jokingly insists that he will arrange a nanny rather than look after the child himself.
