Arc 5Origin Star’s Departure

After the Solar System’s destruction, Luo Qi built a hidden refuge, resettled humanity, and prepared Planet 6 to become a mobile planetary warship. He sent human representatives to meet Civilization No. 1, then rejected Feng Ke’s offer and set Origin Star moving beyond the nebula cluster.

  • No. 1 Luo Qi rebuilt Zhang Cheng, Dongfang Ying, and Shi Zhongming as nanorobot-powered bodies while the Extrasolar Battleship destroyed Orange Star and devastated the Solar System.
  • Luo Qi escaped with Huang Qi, established a base in a rogue asteroid, and built a fleet before occupying Planet 6 in a nearby star system.
  • Luo Qi uncovered evidence that two rival civilizations had planted antimatter bombs throughout the nebula cluster and chose to pursue technological exchange rather than flee.
  • Luo Qi settled the surviving human consciousnesses on Planet 5, where humanity chose nanostructure bodies and took control of its new home.
  • Luo Qi developed Planet 6 into Origin Star, built its planetary framework, and advanced faster-than-light travel and communications.
  • Luo Qi sent Fang Tianyi, Zhang Cheng, Dongfang Ying, and Shi Zhongming to meet Civilization No. 1, where Feng Ke offered spatial technology in exchange for becoming his vassal and helping destroy another civilization.
  • Luo Qi rejected Feng Ke’s offer, completed Origin Star’s planetary warship framework, and sent Origin Star and Planet 5 out of their stellar systems.
  • Luo Qi’s replicas discovered invisible anchors and vast numbers of hidden gravitational bodies, leaving Luo Qi questioning the nebula’s war and Feng Ke’s motives.

Arc 6The Scavenger Civilization

Luo Qi escaped the Profound Heaven Nebula, rebuilt Origin Star as the Ninth War Star, and founded the Scavenger Civilization while pursuing spatial technology. After a researcher entered a spatial black hole, he became stranded on a frozen planet and explored its collapsing underground world with Lingda as planet-sized biological wanderers approached.

  • Luo Qi investigated Prison Planet, learned from Yi that the nebula cluster trapped civilizations in a cycle of destruction and restoration, and prepared for war.
  • Prison Planet disappeared into dimensional space and triggered gravitational chaos, so Luo Qi fired the Star-Class Main Cannon and escaped into the high-energy universe with Origin Star badly damaged.
  • Luo Qi restored Origin Star, renamed it the Ninth War Star, and began expanding into the Giraffe Constellation while establishing the Scavengers.
  • Luo Qi rebuilt Water Blue Star and restored its saved human consciousnesses to physical bodies, while Fang Tianyi learned that the Scavenger Civilization offered refuge.
  • Luo Qi’s superheavy-particle research caused a catastrophic laboratory annihilation, and a researcher later entered a spatial black hole and disappeared.
  • Stranded on a frozen planet, researcher Luo Qi reactivated his communications, answered Lingda’s prayers by creating food and water, and explored the underground complex with her.
  • Luo Qi detected an approaching gravitational anomaly as the planet’s systems altered its course, then planet-sized biological wanderers raced toward it while he began fitting a Dyson Sphere inside a single particle.

Arc 7The Crystal Civilization

Luo Qi intervened as the Crystal Civilization faced Cthulhu, offering Nagus a choice between submission and annihilation while preparing the empire to fight. The civilization relocated to the Nebula Constellation, where a coalition trapped its remaining ships and cut communications.

  • Luo Qi restored the rogue planet, left it without automated Enforcer production, and created a living world in the H681 Stellar System before waking in a child-sized body beside Lingda.
  • Luo Qi packaged the Giraffe Constellation into a spatial bubble, accelerated time in humanity’s stellar system, and became the bubble itself.
  • Luo Qi observed the Crystal Civilization through a blue gem, creating a hundred copies of its world to test how Nagus might prevent an AI rebellion.
  • Nagus and the Crystal Empire detected Cthulhu’s approach as its waves mutated citizens, then launched a planetary migration while preparing to fight.
  • Luo Qi revealed the Eldritch Lifeform’s victims to Nagus, who compromised to preserve the Crystal Civilization, and Luo Qi supplied weapons and marked ten thousand people with wristbands.
  • Yana Gus commanded the Dream against the monster, while Luo Qi reclaimed starships attempting to flee and the Crystal Civilization split between relocation and defending its planets.
  • Nagus led the relocated civilization to the Nebula Constellation and kept four hundred starships, but the Hundred-Race United Fleet trapped them and severed communications with the planet.

Arc 8The Substitute Plan

Luo Qi intervened in the wars of the Nebula Constellation, then created a Destroyer that threatened the Civilization Coalition as it fractured and dissolved. With the Crystal Civilization’s population collapsing, Lan Feng and Nagus began testing manufactured substitute organisms in battle.

  • Zero Seven led the Collective into battle against the Crystal Civilization, whose torpedoes inflicted heavy losses before both sides withdrew into a prolonged war.
  • After three years of fighting, the Crystal Civilization released programmable Books, while Yana Gus and the starships attacked the Tentacle Monster Horde, and Luo Qi consumed its mother body and was brought before Dalin.
  • Dalin named Luo Qi the new Civilization Eradicator and explained that the universe was collapsing as civilizations converted matter into energy.
  • Luo Qi broke the spatial lockdown around the Long Lantern Nebula Constellation, then created Destroyer No. 1, which mechanized five inhabited planets and fought the Civilization Coalition with evolving metal lifeforms.
  • The Destroyer began spreading assimilation particles across the Nebula Constellation, prompting the Coalition to recall fleets and restart the Spatial Project as its members increasingly lost trust in one another.
  • The Civilization Coalition dissolved after the Mechanical Race left, ending the campaign against the Crystal Civilization, and the Crystal Civilization then sent clone Number One Thousand through its experimental Space Seed, where he encountered Beilunde.
  • As the Crystal Civilization’s population fell to thirteen billion, Lan Feng developed controlled dwarf organisms as biological soldiers, and Nagus authorized the Substitute Plan despite its moral costs.
  • Three cycles later, the Crystal Civilization’s high council sent the Little Dwarves of the Forty-Ninth Unit to the interstellar battlefield, where drifting meteorites attacked their fleet with torpedoes.
