Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “Investigating Himself, the Ultimate Mastermind”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Xieqian assigns Shanhai a covert mission to monitor Lin Feng in the Marvel Universe. He wants Shanhai to track Lin Feng remotely, investigate his strength, and interfere with him if possible—but under no circumstances should Shanhai engage directly.
• To support the mission, Li Xieqian gives Shanhai an advanced concealment device capable of hiding him from even First Sequence experts, as well as a smaller emergency alarm device for escape.
• Li Xieqian explains that he considers Lin Feng a potentially enormous threat. Although others in the Gold-Silver Tree may view his concern as excessive, Li Xieqian prefers to eliminate even minor risks and hopes the mission will increase his authority.
• Li Xieqian also reveals his distrust of Mein, suspecting that he may be a spy connected to another Gold-Silver Tree faction. This highlights the internal political struggles within the organization.
• After Shanhai leaves, Lin Feng begins his own operation. He creates more than a hundred clones, each possessing roughly thirty percent of his strength.
• Lin Feng assigns the clones coordinates obtained through Deadpool, sending them in pairs to different universes. Their goal is to prevent the Black Robes from collecting a mysterious white ore that can enable travel between universes governed by different systems.
• To conceal his involvement, Lin Feng orders the clones to disguise themselves completely. They adopt various appearances, races, genders, and even cosplay-like forms.
• Dozens of Portals open, sending the clones across multiple universes to disrupt the Black Robes’ plans and force them to waste time and resources investigating the attacks.
• Just as the operation begins, Shanhai contacts Lin Feng telepathically, setting up the chapter’s cliffhanger.

Character Developments

• Shanhai: Outwardly accepts Li Xieqian’s praise and mission obediently, but internally remains contemptuous and confident. He knows his true strength far exceeds Li Xieqian’s estimate because of the power shared through his connection with Lin Feng’s main body. His secret identity and dual role make him both an undercover agent and Lin Feng’s most dangerous hidden asset.
• Li Xieqian: Demonstrates extreme caution, ambition, and political calculation. He is willing to spend valuable resources on a preemptive investigation of Lin Feng and hopes success will strengthen his position within the Gold-Silver Tree. He also reveals deep suspicion toward both outside threats and possible internal traitors.
• Lin Feng: Shows considerable strategic creativity and growing confidence. Rather than confronting the Black Robes directly, he chooses an indirect, large-scale harassment campaign designed to conceal his involvement while disrupting their operations. His use of numerous disguised clones demonstrates both tactical flexibility and his willingness to exploit his overwhelming resources.
• Lin Feng’s clones: Function as independent agents of misdirection. Their varied disguises allow Lin Feng to obscure the source of the attacks and make it difficult for the Black Robes to connect the incidents to him.

Significant Themes

• Deception and hidden identities: Nearly every major character is concealing important information. Shanhai hides his allegiance and true strength from Li Xieqian, while Lin Feng hides his involvement behind disguised clones.
• Strategic conflict over direct combat: The chapter emphasizes surveillance, sabotage, misdirection, and information gathering rather than straightforward battles.
• Paranoia and factional politics: Li Xieqian’s suspicion of Mein and concern about rival Gold-Silver Tree branches show that even members of the same organization are engaged in covert power struggles.
• The danger of underestimating others: Li Xieqian believes he is carefully manipulating Shanhai, unaware that Shanhai is actually connected to Lin Feng. Likewise, the Black Robes are likely to misinterpret the attacks because they do not know Lin Feng is behind them.
• Escalating multiversal conflict: The effort to gather inter-system travel ore and the coordinated disruption across many universes suggest that the struggle is expanding toward a conflict involving the Fourth Wall and multiple cosmic systems.

Character Interactions

• Li Xieqian flatters Shanhai by calling him the strongest and most cautious subordinate beneath him, while Shanhai silently mocks him and pretends to appreciate the recognition.
• Li Xieqian equips Shanhai, warns him not to act recklessly, and encourages him to gather information while creating only limited trouble for Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng directs his clones like a commander, assigning them targets, disguises, and strict instructions not to reveal his identity.
• The chapter ends with Shanhai contacting Lin Feng’s main body, bringing the two sides of the apparent investigation into direct communication and implying that Lin Feng’s plan may have been discovered—or that Shanhai is about to report on the mission.

Chapter Summary: “Arrangements for the Clones, Returning to Blue Star”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Shanhai returns unexpectedly to the Marvel Universe despite being stationed near the Black Robes Organization.
• Lin Feng synchronizes with Shanhai’s memories and learns that Shanhai has completed five missions for Li Xieqian with perfect evaluations.
• Because Shanhai is powerful and has great potential, Li Xieqian has begun treating him as a trusted subordinate and considering him for important responsibilities.
• Shanhai has gathered extensive intelligence, including maps of the Gold-Silver Tree’s territory and the Black Robes Organization’s network below the First Sequence.
• Lin Feng discovers that the three Black Robes members he previously frightened away on Mofu Mo Transit Star are also under the Gold-Silver Tree’s jurisdiction.
• More importantly, Li Xieqian has assigned Shanhai to investigate Lin Feng himself, unknowingly ordering one of Lin Feng’s clones to spy on his original body.
• Lin Feng finds the situation amusing and decides to let Shanhai remain embedded in the organization. He can provide carefully controlled or false information to Li Xieqian.
• The four clones searching for the Heart of the Universe Fragments have not yet succeeded, but no problems have arisen, and Lin Feng already possesses three fragments.
• Lin Feng returns to Blue Star, where he feels more relaxed and emotionally at home than anywhere else.
• While checking current events, he learns that Black Panther/T’Challa has died. Although surprised, he does not investigate further.
• Lin Feng rests at home by entering a soul state. His Star River Wristband transforms into miniature Star Rivers, and Blue Star’s life magnetic field accelerates his soul’s absorption of their energy.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng: Demonstrates increased confidence and strategic flexibility. Rather than being threatened by Li Xieqian’s investigation, he sees it as an opportunity to manipulate the information reaching the Black Robes. Despite his immense power, he acknowledges emotional exhaustion and deliberately returns home to recover.
• Shanhai: Proves himself highly capable by earning Li Xieqian’s trust, completing missions flawlessly, and collecting valuable intelligence. He also develops enough independence and humor to tease Lin Feng about the absurdity of being ordered to spy on himself.
• Li Xieqian: Revealed as calculating and perceptive. He recognizes Shanhai’s potential and attempts to cultivate a relationship with him, but his decision to use Shanhai to investigate Lin Feng unintentionally benefits Lin Feng.
• T’Challa/Black Panther: His death is mentioned as a significant event on Blue Star, illustrating how greatly the timeline has diverged from the original storyline.

Significant Themes

• Espionage and manipulation: The chapter humorously presents a “spy versus spy” situation in which Lin Feng can control the information his own clone reports.

• Power versus emotional fatigue: Lin Feng is physically and mentally powerful, yet he still experiences weariness and needs the emotional comfort of returning home.
• Changing destiny: Major events from the original timeline have been altered, including The Ancient One’s survival and T’Challa’s death, showing that Lin Feng’s presence has profoundly reshaped history.

• Lin Feng’s brief call for Susan after returning home emphasizes his attachment to her, even though she is away.
• Lin Feng indirectly reacts to T’Challa’s death while reviewing Blue Star’s news, but chooses not to become involved.

Chapter Summary: “Days of Rest—How About We All Go Out and Have Some Fun?”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Lin Feng feels awkward about Susan purchasing property for him, joking internally that he resembles a man being supported by a wealthy woman. He then changes the subject by asking what parts of East they visited.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng: Demonstrates his extraordinary soul-related abilities and his confidence that even death would not easily threaten him. Despite his immense responsibilities and cosmic adventures, he shows a relaxed, domestic side while spending time with Susan and considering a family vacation. He also appears somewhat guilty or embarrassed about being absent so often.
• Susan: Reveals her deep concern for Lin Feng when she believes he may be dead. Once reassured, she becomes cheerful and affectionate, eagerly preparing his favorite food and planning time together. Her independent decision to buy a villa shows initiative, affection, and her growing familiarity with East.
• Wanda and Pietro: Are mentioned as spending time together, suggesting a close sibling relationship and private matters they need to discuss. Wanda continues living with Lin Feng’s household and is presumably developing her Chaos Magic.
• Lin Jili and Martina: Are portrayed as energetic children who enjoy shopping and sweets. Their self-sufficiency makes them relatively easy to care for despite their mischievous nature.

  • Creating objects from nothing.
  • Altering physical laws in a limited area.
  • Reversing time.
  • Creating clones of herself.
• Lin Feng learns that Wanda could potentially transform an entire mountain into gold without significant strain, although she has not tested the limits of her more dangerous abilities—especially time manipulation.

• Lin Feng provides both women with upgraded wands to help them survive and function safely in space, then opens a portal and takes them into the universe.

Significant Themes

• Power versus control: Wanda possesses immense destructive capacity, but inefficient energy use limits her effectiveness.

Chapter Summary: Luxury Alien Hotel, Paradise Tower

Key Plot Points and Events

• Lin Feng and Susan hire a local guide for Karnier Transit Star, agreeing to pay him 200 credit points for the day. Lin Feng pays 100 points in advance through his personal terminal.
• The guide introduces himself as Kaka Kute, though the group continues casually calling him “Lobster Head.”
• Lin Jili and Martina join Lin Feng and Susan. Lin Jili is fascinated by Kaka’s appearance and openly compares him, along with other aliens, to aquatic creatures from Earth.
• Kaka explains that Karnier Transit Star is:
  • An F-rank, peaceful Alliance-controlled planet.
  • Approximately 792 million square kilometers in area.
  • Home to more than twenty million lifeforms, 437 species, and over thirty languages.
  • Populated by eighty commonly seen species and sixty-seven rare aquatic species living in the planet’s southern regions.
• Lin Feng explains that Earth has similar-looking creatures, though he privately notes that lobsters, catfish, and octopuses are considered food on Earth. Lin Jili’s drooling reaction reinforces the humorous cultural misunderstanding.
• After touring the planet’s streets, Kaka brings the group to Paradise Tower, the largest, most luxurious, and most heavily guarded hotel on Karnier Transit Star.
• Paradise Tower offers luxury accommodations, meals, massage services, and strong security, but rooms are extremely expensive. A standard room costs 20,000 credit points per night.
• Lin Feng easily agrees to stay there, demonstrating that money is essentially irrelevant to him because of his access to the Infinity Stones.
• Kaka waits outside while Lin Feng and the others enter to book a room and store their luggage. Lin Feng gives Kaka another 100 credit points as a tip, astonishing the guide.

• Susan has become much less money-conscious after spending time with Lin Feng, though the hotel’s price still surprises her.
• Kaka Kute/Lobster Head is revealed to be an enthusiastic and financially struggling local guide. He is highly professional once paid, but Lin Feng’s generous tip makes him extraordinarily grateful and respectful.

• Lin Feng and Susan function as the group’s practical adults, managing the guide, lodging, and travel arrangements while tolerating Lin Jili’s behavior.

Significant Themes

• Wealth and privilege: Lin Feng’s effortless spending contrasts sharply with Kaka’s inability to afford even the cheapest room in Paradise Tower.
• Cultural misunderstanding: Earth-based names such as “lobster,” “catfish,” and “octopus” confuse the aliens, while Lin Jili interprets unfamiliar species through familiar Earth categories.
• Exploration and alien diversity: Karnier Transit Star is presented as a multicultural hub filled with hundreds of species, languages, and forms of life.
• Luxury versus ordinary life: Paradise Tower symbolizes the extreme economic and technological differences between wealthy travelers like Lin Feng’s group and local workers like Kaka.
• Humor through perspective: Lin Feng’s private thoughts about aliens resembling seafood, combined with Lin Jili’s drooling, create a comic contrast between alien dignity and human culinary associations.

Character Interactions

• Lin Feng and Susan discuss the value of hiring a guide, with Lin Feng agreeing that convenience justifies the expense.
• Lin Jili enthusiastically embraces Susan and questions Kaka about his species, prompting Kaka to clarify that he is not technically aquatic.

Chapter Summary: “Aliens, Kidnapping in Progress”

• Wanda, Lin Jili, and Martina continue shopping in the enormous store. Lin Jili quickly moves through sections she dislikes, while enthusiastically purchasing expensive, flashy weapons. She buys a gold-and-diamond “Gunk Crystal Ray Gun” and ten sets of backup cartridges for 300,000 Credit Points total. Martina chooses a mechanical-looking ray gun costing 300,000 points.
• Wanda watches the girls while browsing herself. Although she has enough Credit Points, she remains reluctant to spend because of habits formed during her formerly difficult life.
• A suspicious store employee with a pointy-mouthed face approaches Wanda and falsely claims that Susan and Lin Feng are waiting for her in the clothing section. Wanda is initially cautious, but sees no immediate danger and agrees to follow him.
• Because Lin Jili refuses to stop shopping before the agreed time, Wanda allows a second employee to remain with the two girls and escort them to the meeting point in ten minutes. The employees are secretly planning to separate and kidnap them.
• The second employee, a horned man with a small beard, attempts to ingratiate himself with Lin Jili. She nicknames him “Little Mustache,” associating him with Tony Stark, whom she currently dislikes for frequently interrupting her playtime with Martina.
• When the employee asks about Lin Jili’s father, she boasts that her father could buy the entire store. This convinces him that she is the daughter of a wealthy and important family, increasing his desire to abduct her. Lin Jili remains suspicious and refuses to provide further information.
• Meanwhile, the first employee leads Wanda around the clothing section but cannot produce Susan or Lin Feng. He invents another excuse, saying they may be trying on clothes, and leaves Wanda waiting while he returns to the meeting point.
• Lin Feng and Susan are already at the designated meeting place, collecting the items they purchased. The store efficiently delivers scanned items, and Lin Feng observes that purchases are processed immediately, while unwanted goods can be returned on the spot.
• The suspicious employee tells Lin Feng and Susan that Wanda and the children are waiting in the clothing section. Lin Feng senses that something is wrong, but Susan trusts the employee because he is wearing a store uniform and urges Lin Feng to investigate.

• Wanda is protective but overly trusting in this situation. Her difficulty disciplining the children leads her to accept the employees’ offer, unknowingly leaving them vulnerable.

Character Developments

• Lin Feng remains calm and confident, understanding that Jilly and Martina are not helpless children. He also shows some amused exasperation at Susan’s panic.

Chapter Summary: “Eye-Seering Alien Strongmen Doing the Duck Dance”

Significant Themes

• The limits of deception: Lin Jili’s movie-inspired act fails because genuine family relationships cannot be manipulated as easily as fictional ones.
• Justice and mercy: Lin Feng distinguishes between criminals motivated by greed and those who have committed murder, sparing the former while condemning the latter.
• The contrast between playfulness and danger: What Lin Jili sees as an exciting outing is connected to real kidnapping and violence, emphasizing her childish lack of perspective.
