• Zhang Yang accepted the Ghost Race's invasion challenge, and a Star Gate formed on the Azure Continent outside the Great Wall.

• Zhang Yang traveled to the enemy planet and found that an eerie river and bridge protected its inhabitants, with two powerful ghosts guarding the crossing.

• Zhang Yang returned Blue Star’s inhabitants home, closed the Star Gate, and examined the Cosmic Wonder, whose properties surprised him.

Zhang Yang transformed the Ghost Domain into a two-star, upgradeable Netherworld and designed its buildings, institutions, and trials. Since unlocking each building required one million Energy Points, he planned to open an earthly realm first and use the Ghost Race’s supreme treasure to nourish the ghosts.

• Zhang Yang spent more than 1.4 million Energy Points reshaping the cosmic Wonder into a two-star Netherworld.
• Zhang Yang designed sixteen Netherworld buildings, from the Land God Temple and Ghost Gate through judgment, punishment, and reincarnation.

A month later, he moved the souls of the dead into the Earth Realm, where former cultivators rushed to claim rooms in Ghost City and began fighting over the limited space.

• Golden light appeared in ten places as the chosen ones were born simultaneously, and Liu Bang hurried toward the rear palace to await the births of the children connected to him.

A century after the ten Chosen Ones were born, they had grown into influential figures who reshaped Blue Star. Kong Qiu learned from a renowned teacher and established the Confucian path, while his teacher continued writing.

• Kong Qiu spread the Confucian path and gathered disciples as his teacher continued writing.

Li Er’s Tao Te Ching and Shakyamuni’s enlightenment brought Daoism and Buddhism into the world, while new dynasties and renowned sages strengthened Blue Star. After the Chosen Ones matured, Zhang Yang advanced Blue Star to the fifth star ring, where twenty Star Gates opened at once.

• Zhang Yang advanced Blue Star to the fifth star ring, and twenty Star Gates opened across the planet.

Blue Star faced a coordinated invasion as twenty Star Gates opened, and its leaders mobilized nations and armies to defend the world. Ying Zheng assembled the five great legions while forces converged on their assigned gates, with the battles still ahead.

• Twenty Star Gates opened across Blue Star, and Quark warned Zhang Yang that the invaders represented only the beginning of a wider war.

• Ying Zheng called the Qin commanders to form ranks, and Bai Qi, Meng Tian, Li Mu, Le Yi, and Wang Jian declared the five great legions ready for his command.

Ying Zheng assigned the legions and allied forces to defend Blue Star as twenty Star Lords invaded, only for the attackers to discover that the planet’s defenses and subordinate races were far stronger and stranger than expected. With both sides preparing for battle and only three days left in the deployment period, Laozi and an old man continued their work at Mount Laojun.

• Ying Zheng ordered Bai Qi, Meng Tian, Li Mu, and Le Yi to attack enemy races, while Wang Jian defended the Great Wall and allied forces supported the legions.
• Twenty Star Lords entered Blue Star, bought a Divine Card from Merrick, and used it to dispel the War Fog.

• Blue Star’s dynasties, sects, and Mercenary Corps prepared to defend the Star Gates, and the Myriad Poison Sect arrived to help the Eastern Han Dynasty fight the Elephantfolk.
• At Mount Laojun, Laozi told the old man that three more days would complete their merit.

Laozi and Guiguzi concealed Blue Star’s strength, allowing its forces to surprise twenty invading armies when the Star Gates opened. Blue Star’s forces gained advantages on several fronts, while the Ghost Race fled from bald warriors whose golden light destroyed them.

• Laozi and Guiguzi hid the Human Race’s cultivation from the opposing Star Lords, who committed their forces to the deployment zones.

The Dragon Race attacked Blue Star, forcing humans and other races into battles across the planet. As dragon blood spread through the rain and seas, surviving plants and animals began absorbing it and entering a new stage of evolution.

• Bai Qi ordered the humans to fire on the attacking Wyverns and activated a Pulse Energy Shield, but Red Dragons melted the barrier with Dragon Breath and resisted human magic.
• The dragons scattered across Blue Star, attacking battlefields while human Golden Core Realm cultivators fought them and suffered heavy casualties.
