Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng and Xixing reflected on the decline of their peoples before preparing to travel to Xixing’s planet and restore it. Frigga stopped them to give Lin Feng a booklet that could help him use the Cosmic Cube.

• Lin Feng and Xixing waited outside the palace while Odin and Hela fought, and Lin Feng considered what Hela’s victory could mean for Asgard.

• Frigga stopped Lin Feng before he could use Instant Transmission and thanked him for helping Asgard.
• Frigga gave Lin Feng a small booklet she said could help him use the Cosmic Cube more effectively.

Lin Feng reached Xixing's devastated home planet and discovered that Black Cat could speak telepathically and needed energy to survive. He tempted her with an Infinity Stone, leaving her captivated by its immense energy.

• Lin Feng accepted Frigga's user manual and left Asgard while Odin and Hela were still fighting.

• Black Cat explained that she had no known family or species and needed energy as food, so Lin Feng offered to take her in.
• Lin Feng showed Black Cat Special Kryptonite, which she considered average, then revealed an Infinity Stone that left her staring hungrily at its energy.

Lin Feng persuaded Black Cat to become his pet by promising it a peaceful life and a chance to meet cats on Blue Star, while withholding the Infinity Stone until they returned. Xixing brought them to a ruined altar to revive her planet, but hesitated at the final step, leaving Lin Feng wondering what was wrong.

• Xixing asked Lin Feng to restore her planet’s vitality because she could not activate the Cosmic Cube herself.

Lin Feng used the Cosmic Cube to restore Xixing's planet by filling its vast network of life Leylines with energy. As the planet revived, Xixing excitedly celebrated the return of its plants while Lin Feng continued restoring the remaining veins.

• Xixing joyfully ran and rolled through the returning vegetation while Lin Feng continued restoring the planet's Leylines.

Lin Feng filled the planet’s last three main veins, completing its restoration and allowing Xixing’s people to be born from glowing seeds on giant trees. The newly born women knelt to Lin Feng, whose aura they recognized as that of their creator, leaving him to consider his new role as their natural leader.

• Lin Feng realized the people regarded him as their creator and natural leader, but he disliked the title “leader.”

• Xixing told Lin Feng that the fullness of the planet’s three main leylines determined whether newborn Starfolk were adults or children.
• Several hours later, the Starfolk gathered around Lin Feng and watched him until he asked Xixing why they were staring.

Lin Feng appointed Xixing as the Starfolk’s elder and left her to plan their next steps, including building homes and restarting production.

• Tony asked why the planet had so few inhabitants and no men, and Lin Feng explained that he had revived its people after the planet was destroyed and that they reproduced asexually.
• Tony asked to capture a Starfolk for research, but Lin Feng refused, so Tony gave up and said he wanted a planet of his own.
