• Spirit Tiger led his depleted squad to Mount Odoral, where Charm Spider killed several Orcs, defeated Spirit Tiger, and captured him after learning he was the marshal’s son.

Zhang Fan trapped the Orc fleet between Aoduo and Ramu and demanded that White Tiger leave half his forces behind in exchange for the rest being allowed to retreat. As the Orc commanders debated who would be sacrificed, Green Deer volunteered to stay.

After the Insect Race defeated the Orcs, Zhang Fan took a fleet to the trading planet Geldos to sell soldiers and seek useful goods. He challenged the company’s low valuation of his troops and agreed to test them in the Arena, where the buyer would watch.

• Lingling welcomed Zhang Fan and led him to Ten Thousand Gold City, where his instinctive spikes impaled the Robot servants that crowded around him.
• Zhang Fan rejected the ordinary goods Lingling displayed and asked about the Moge Jellyfish, but Shusha objected to the low valuation of their soldiers.
• Lingling offered a sparring match against higher-value warriors, and Zhang Fan agreed to test the Insect Race troops in the Arena before the buyer.

Zhang Fan tested the Swift Spirit Bugs at the Arena and secured a massive order from an anonymous buyer, along with rare creatures for the Spirit Dragon Brood Bug. He left with a five-hundred-trillion-gold-coin deposit but worried that the Insect Race could not produce the 160 trillion warriors required within a hundred years.

• Shusha arranged for the Matriarch to analyze the delivered creatures, while Zhang Fan worried that the Insect Race could not meet the buyer's enormous order.

Zhang Fan prepared to find highly reproductive creatures so he could fulfill his promise to deliver 160 trillion {Swift Spirit Bugs}, while Domina placed a bounty on his forces and offered Nexis qiuqiu beasts to accelerate the Western Realm Insect Race’s growth.

• Zhiqiang traveled to the Sealing Ground and returned with the Sealing Scroll, revealing that he could release Diladimas if Zhang Fan defeated the Western Realm Great Emperor.
• Dumite and the Orlandians rapidly aged into dust as the temple and surrounding land turned to desert, while the dragon-eater ore retained its power outside Orland.
• Zhiqiang refused Shusha’s offer to analyze his genes, and Minerva appeared in the Command Cabin and urged Zhang Fan to return to the Western Realm.
• Zhang Fan challenged Minerva’s request, saying it went against their previous agreement.

• Zhang Fan agreed to give Minerva the Key of Sealing and let her take Zhiqiang in exchange for a Star Chart pointing toward the Dreamweave Star System.

• Tiger Shark welcomed Zhang Fan and explained that Azure Ocean Star would not follow Domina because most Beast Race chieftains opposed her policies.
• Zhang Fan asked Tiger Shark for creatures with exceptionally strong reproductive abilities so he could expand his army.

Zhang Fan agreed to help Tiger Shark destroy the Gemona pirates after the High Priest refused to answer his questions about Earth. As the Insect Race and Azure Ocean Star forces attacked the pirates’ last stronghold, Domina searched the Insect Race starfield for Zhang Fan’s hidden planet and a great war loomed.

After the Insect Race established bases in the Bido Star System, Slaas persuaded the Bido king to consider the alliance an opportunity against Princess Domina, and the king asked to meet Zhang Fan.

• Zhang Fan advised Kailan to exploit the Bido Race's ties with Azure Ocean Star and refuse their demand for Coral Star, prompting the Bido fleet to agree to help.

• When the Bido forces demanded support against the fleeing hunters, Kailan refused, and Zhang Fan forced Slaas to join the Insect Race alliance.
• The Insect Race army followed the Bido fleet to the Bido Star System and transformed outer planets into bases.
• The Bido king punished Slaas, but Slaas argued that the alliance could help overthrow Princess Domina, so the king requested a meeting with Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan strengthened the Insect Race with new nanotechnology-based units while helping King Slacha prepare against Domina. He traveled to Geldos to meet a buyer offering a Qiuqiu Beast and secrets about someone, where a familiar-sounding Half-Giant appeared.

• Zhang Fan told King Slacha that they could replace Domina without challenging the Northern Realm Great Emperor, and Slacha agreed to rally systems opposed to Domina.

• A Half-Giant in a black robe entered and told Zhang Fan he had finally found him, while Zhang Fan struggled to recognize his familiar voice.

Back in the Bido Star System, Zhang Fan used the Qiuqiu Beast to strengthen the Insect Race before a Hunter Coalition fleet attacked; as the Insect Race gained ground, golden armored warriors appeared and Slaas called for a retreat.

• Dimis met Zhang Fan, revealed that someone had brought him back to life, and proposed a coordinated attack to stop Domina's coronation.
• Dimis offered Zhang Fan the Qiuqiu Beast and Krami's Imperial Authority Ring, but Zhang Fan refused to cooperate until Dimis made his move.
• Zhang Fan gave the Qiuqiu Beast to Shusha, and the Matriarchs used its reproductive abilities to rapidly increase the Insect Race's forces.
• King Slacha warned Zhang Fan that a combined fleet was attacking the Insect Race's bases, so Zhang Fan ordered the Ghost Bugs to scout and mobilized the defenses.
