• Zhang Fan appeared on Varagon's screen and challenged Deputy Commander Plague for celebrating too soon.

Zhang Fan escaped Plague as six pieces of black obsidian destroyed the galaxies inside the black mist, while Zhang Hongjun took command of the fleets and began shrinking Plague’s power. Zhang Fan realized Zhang Hongjun could influence the Insect Race and might threaten every civilization, but decided to keep him alive as his weapon.

• Zhang Hongjun coordinated the fleets to compress Plague’s black mist, and Plague vowed to destroy Zhang Fan even if it cost him his life.

As Plague’s black soul mist vanished, it revealed a colossal dark Star Kun that Zhang Hongjun faced alone after ordering the fleets to retreat. The two fought as apparent members of the God and Demon races, while Pangu’s Energy Detector detected a powerful source behind Kronos.

• Zhang Fan and the surviving fleets retreated a million light-years away as the two Star Kun fought, and Pangu’s Energy Detector pointed toward a source behind Kronos.

Zhang Fan found the energy source for the Time Control Device in a temple on a desert planet, charging it with energy from a giant’s crown. He and his companions decided to use the device to confront the two Star Kun before returning to the Erl Universe.

• The Time Control Device absorbed energy from the giant’s crown, turning golden as the skeleton and crown crumbled to dust.
• Zhang Fan asked whether to return to the Erl Universe or fight the Star Kun, and Dumite agreed with Kaina that they should deal with the Star Kun first.

After Plague’s defeat, the surviving civilizations gathered to establish a new Vitter Council, but a dispute over who should lead it brought Zhang Fan and Mimipa into conflict. Mimipa threatened the Insect Race with his fleet, leaving the council on the brink of renewed war.

• Zhang Fan returned Zhang Hongjun to human form, and Pangu took him back to {Kronos}.
• Mimipa convened the surviving civilizations to form a new Alliance Council, but Badara challenged his claim to become Grand Commander and praised Zhang Fan’s achievements.

• Mimipa accused Zhang Fan of trying to seize the Erl Universe, and Zhang Fan warned that he could take power if forced to do so.
• Mimipa threatened Zhang Fan and displayed his fleet surrounding the Insect Race, leaving the councilors waiting to see whether fighting would begin.

Mimipa proposed that Zhang Fan lead the Vitter Universe’s forces through the Time Passage to invade the Erl Universe, forcing Zhang Fan to counter with a demand for Mimipa’s warships and a leading role in the assault. Mimipa was left trapped by the council’s support for Zhang Fan, while Zhang Fan prepared to visit the newly awakened Zhang Hongjun.

• Mimipa offered to relinquish the Grand Commander position if Zhang Fan used the Divine Artifact to lead an invasion of the Erl Universe, and the council members backed the proposal.
• Zhang Fan said the depleted Time Control Device needed energy from two-thirds of the remaining warships, and Badara helped turn the other races against Mimipa.
• Zhang Fan proposed that Mimipa sacrifice the warships and lead the attack in exchange for first access to the spoils, and the council agreed.
• Mimipa returned to his mothership and worried that refusing would make him a target, while Zhang Fan and Badara mocked his predicament aboard Kronos.
• Zhang Fan ordered everyone to stay alert in case Mimipa acted out of desperation, then went to see Zhang Hongjun after Soraya reported his awakening.

Zhang Fan was resurrected in the Erl Universe after Zhang Hongjun killed him with an overwhelming attack on his consciousness, then regained a powerful body and learned that no invasion had occurred there. A messenger from Queen Badara brought word that the Vitter Universe had fallen into chaos and urgently called Zhang Fan back.

Zhang Fan gathered allied forces in the Eastern Realm and forced Madoc to take him to the Great Emperor Divine Domain so he could report the crisis in the Vitter Universe. After he met the three Great Emperors and revealed his journey, his question about Valaya enraged her, and Jiertai shouted for him to get out of the way.

• Valaya erupted with killing intent, and Jiertai roared at Zhang Fan to get out of the way.

Zhang Fan persuaded the three Great Emperors that he wanted to avenge Varagon and stop Mimipa and Zhang Hongjun from seizing the Time Control Device. He secured permission to send his Insect Race army through the passage to the Vitter Universe, with Valaya joining him, but Jiertai stopped them before they could leave.

• Zhang Fan returned after Valaya punched him and told the Great Emperors that Varagon was dead and that he had gathered the forces of the Four Realms to avenge him.
• Zhang Fan blamed Plague, Mimipa, and Zhang Hongjun for Varagon’s death and explained that the Time Control Device was at stake in the Vitter Universe.

• Zhang Fan revealed that he came from sixty-five million years in the future and sought to keep everyone out of the Milky Way so the Qiya People would not destroy his planet again.
• Zhang Fan asked the Great Emperors to clear the passage for his Insect Race army, and Valaya volunteered to accompany him.
• Jiertai agreed to let Valaya go with Zhang Fan, then stopped them to settle one more matter.

Zhang Fan organized an assault on the Great Emperor Divine Domain with Madoc and the Dragon Race, while secretly maneuvering against the Dragon Race. As the portal reopened, he ordered the Insect Race warships to charge in, surprising Sadran.

• Zhang Fan agreed with Jiertai that the Dragon Race would be handled separately while he continued with the plan to take Valaya.
• Zhang Fan presented the attack plan, but Dilama, speaking through Ona, insisted that the Dragon Race lead the vanguard and gave Zhang command of half its forces.
• Zhang Fan reclaimed Zhiqiang, detected the Dragon Race's hidden mental control over him, and assigned the other races' fleets to attack the right flank.
• Madoc opened the portal, and the Dragon Race vanguard entered before the portal vanished; Zhang Fan then sent the remaining Dragon Race warships forward while keeping the other fleets back.
• Shusha warned Zhang Fan that the Dragon Race had reinforcements in the Eastern Realm, and Zhang Fan said he was more concerned that Sadran might oppose his plan.
• When the portal suddenly reopened, Zhang Fan ordered all Insect Race warships to charge in, leaving Sadran startled.

Zhang Fan’s alliance entered the Great Emperor Divine Domain while the Erl Universe turned against the Dragon Race, which was nearly exterminated. Afterward, Zhang Fan intervened to stop Great Emperor Valaya from attacking the Musayans, then urged everyone to hurry to the Vitter Universe.

• Zhang Fan calmed Jiaduo, then led Valaya and the Erl Army through the Time Passage with the Musayans in front and the Insect Race fleet behind them.
• Zhang Fan and Valaya found the Vitter Universe strewn with warship wreckage, rescued several dying Vitter Insect Race warships, and learned that a three-way battle had taken place less than three months earlier.
• Zhang Fan’s fleet teleported to the G5 Star Region while Valaya stayed behind with her warships, which lacked long-range teleportation.
• At the G5 Star Region, Zhang Fan heard Soraya’s urgent call and ordered the Insect Race army to rush to S6, where aliens were attacking S6 Planet.
• Zhang Fan’s thirty million {Beast-Fusion Insect} warships wiped out the attackers, and Kaina hurried to greet him aboard {Kronos}.
• Noya blocked Kaina before she reached Zhang Fan, and the two demanded to know what the other was.

Zhang Fan reunited with Kaina, learned about Zhang Hongjun’s growing power and the conflict between the Insect Race and Taita, and obtained Valaya’s blood to develop a devouring ability. As Pangu remained unconscious from his battle wounds, Taita’s Fleet invaded the Insect Race Starfield, prompting Kaina’s forces to prepare to respond.

• Kaina recognized Valaya’s aura as resembling Zhang Hongjun’s, and Valaya explained that she had devoured a God Race member whose body carried that aura.
• Zhang Fan persuaded Valaya to give him a drop of her blood, and Shusha later reported that the Insect Race had hatched creatures with a devouring ability.
• Kaina explained that Taita had taken Mimipa’s position and was raiding Insect Race planets, while Valaya warned that Zhang Hongjun was likely maintaining a three-way balance for his own plans.
• Zhang Fan learned that Pangu had been badly wounded by Zhang Hongjun and remained unconscious, so Shusha summoned the Matriarch team to treat him.
• Taita’s Fleet entered the Insect Race Starfield undetected and disabled communications, and Badara sent Buluoya to Kronos to ask Kaina for help.

After Taita forces breached the first defensive line, Noya and Snow White led Insect Race forces to destroy the invading fleet and reunite Badara with the returned Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan ordered the Beast God Generals to reinforce assigned areas while the Insect Race prepared its next offensive.

• Zhang Fan ordered Noya and Snow White to lead their forces against the Taita troops, while Kaina deployed Ghost Shadow Bugs to track Zhang Hongjun.

Zhang Fan planned to strengthen the Insect Race by building a mobile War Factory and Great Emperor-Class Warships, while learning that the Time Control Device was safe in the Erl Universe. Pangu warned that Zhang Hongjun could not yet use his full strength, suggested Zhang Fan seek the demon gene as a counter, and revealed he had saved a Plague; Dumite then arrived to take Zhang Fan somewhere.

• Dumite met Zhang Fan outside Pangu's recovery room and invited him to go somewhere.

Zhang Hongjun destroyed Atlas Star while searching for the Spear of Revival, then tortured Priestess Anlin until she agreed to reveal where the Divine Artifact was. The chapter ended with Zhang Hongjun demanding that she tell him its location.

• Zhang Hongjun learned that the Insect Race's Overlord had returned but chose to attack Atlas Star first in search of the Spear of Revival.

• Zhang Hongjun pulled Atlas Star's moon closer, devastating the planet and wiping out the Atlas People.
• Zhang Hongjun's soldiers searched Atlas but could not find the Spear of Revival, so he brought Priestess Anlin before him for questioning.
• Zhang Hongjun forced Priestess Anlin to watch as his soldiers killed her people, and she finally agreed to reveal the Divine Artifact's location.

Priestess Anlin’s attempt to hide the divine artifacts and rally resistance instead helped Zhang Hongjun, while Zhang Fan devised a plan to find the artifacts and rescue her. Zhang Fan’s search was interrupted when two women arrived with an artifact and a request for revenge.

• Priestess Anlin concealed the divine artifacts’ powers and spread news of them, but Zhang Hongjun revealed he had anticipated her scheme and planned to use the universe-wide search to his advantage.
• Shusha and Valaya informed Zhang Fan about the artifacts and Anlin’s signal, and Zhang Fan concluded that rescuing the priestess mattered more than acquiring the sealed artifacts.
• Zhang Fan assigned Soraya and the others to open a Space Channel, put Valaya in charge of the War Factory, and began searching for a way to rescue Anlin.
• Zhang Fan publicly offered huge sums for the artifacts and spread possible coordinates, prompting a flood of reports that left Zhang Hongjun facing countless fakes.
• Zhang Fan stopped buying supposed artifacts and redirected sellers to Zhang Hongjun, then agreed to meet two women who said they had an artifact and wanted revenge.

Princess Sitasia and Wendini sought Zhang Fan’s help against Zhang Hongjun while secretly concealing the Spear of Revival’s gem. As Zhang Fan monitored Pangu’s recovery and the creation of another Super Beast God General, Pangu’s readings suddenly surged dangerously.

• Sitasia posed as a princess while Wendini presented the powerless Spear of Revival, but Zhang Fan recognized their deception and agreed to let them stay in exchange for their abilities.
• Sitasia and Wendini privately revealed that Sitasia had kept the Spear of Revival’s gem and vowed to pursue revenge.
• Badara reported that warriors near the Cloud Ghost Nebula needed reinforcements, and Noya eagerly left with her to join the fight.
• Duolaner tested red lotus flowers on Pangu, but they had little effect, and she warned that Great Emperor Valaya’s devouring ability could backfire if increased.
• An alarm announced that Pangu’s readings were rising rapidly, so Zhang Fan ordered Nexis and Shusha to come help before his body exploded.

After Zhang Fan and the others stabilized Pangu’s rejection reaction, Sitasia disguised as Wendini investigated the Insect Race’s cries and fought a Barton Guard Captain. Hu Baili brought her to Zhang Fan, who offered her a chance to remove the suppressive power harming Pangu.

• Zhang Fan, Duolaner, Nexis, and Shusha treated Pangu’s rejection reaction, and Zhang Fan swore revenge on Zhang Hongjun.
• Sitasia put on the Guard Uniform, left Wendini behind with the Sapphire, and went out to investigate the Insect Race’s cries.
• A Barton Guard Captain mocked Sitasia, so she fought him and trapped him in a Water Seal until Hu Baili intervened.
• Hu Baili questioned Sitasia, then took her to the Hatchery after sensing her pure water-element power.
