• Snow God told the Celestial higher-ups she planned to claim all four slots for A Jian, Lin Tianlong, Lin Tianfeng, and Lin Tianbao, while the Supreme Elder’s order barred A Feng from receiving one.

Snow God secured approval to give four Half-Step Martial Saint slots to her faction, alarming Ying Tian and threatening his hold on power. Lin Feng proposed a year-long hunting competition, and Ying Tian gave him a High-grade Psionic Crystal to strengthen a treasure as the tribe prepared to fight for the decade’s victory.

• Snow God, the Sage, and War God voted to give the four Half-Step Martial Saint slots to A Jian, Lin Tianlong, Lin Tianfeng, and Lin Tianbao, then left Ying Tian behind.
• Ying Tian learned that Snow God's faction would gain four Half-Step Martial Saints and summoned his faction's leaders, including Lin Feng, to discuss the threat.
• Ying Tian explained that Half-Step Martial Saints were powerful enough to help Snow God's faction catch up in the demon-hunting contest, while his faction lacked the resources to create one.
• Lin Feng proposed a year-long hunting competition with resources and treasures as rewards, and Ying Tian ordered the logistics officials to support the effort.
• Ying Tian gave Lin Feng a High-grade Psionic Crystal that could greatly strengthen a treasure, and Lin Feng considered whether to use it on his shield, sword, or a future weapon.

Lin Feng strengthened the Myriad Water Vajra Shield, coordinated with A Jian to keep Ying Tian’s faction competitive, and prepared to draw Tian Long and Tian Bao to his side in the next decade. As the hunting competition entered its final days, both factions’ Demon Hunters raced to collect demon crystals ahead of the results.

• Lin Feng used a High-grade Psionic Crystal to upgrade the Myriad Water Vajra Shield, making it strong enough to withstand his full-strength attacks.
• Lin Feng met A Jian in the Black Mist, reviewed the mixed-bloods’ hunting data, and told him to hunt normally so Ying Tian would not lose the decade.
• Lin Feng explained that supporting Ying Tian kept resources flowing to mixed-bloods, then asked A Jian to persuade Tian Long and Tian Bao to join him next decade.
• Lin Feng began hunting demons at great speed, stored most of the demon crystals, and turned in more than usual to show Ying Tian’s side his efforts.
• Snow God’s faction launched its own hunting competition, while Lin Feng spent his free time adding points to martial arts and continued preparing to deduce Star Martial.
• With three days left in the decade, Demon Hunters on both sides hunted day and night, and many waited anxiously for the next day’s results.

Lin Feng helped Ying Tian’s faction narrowly defeat Snow God’s faction in the hunt, extending their control for another ten years. Snow God demanded better results from her side, while A Jian continued preparing his brothers to join Lin Feng’s faction as Lin Feng awaited a second High-grade Psionic Crystal.

• Lin Feng coordinated with A Jian and kept Ying Tian’s faction’s hunting data just above Snow God’s, securing a narrow victory.
• Ying Tian celebrated the win, embraced Lin Feng, and announced a victory banquet and plans to crush Snow God’s faction over the next ten years.
• Snow God learned of the defeat, summoned her faction’s leaders and the Mixed-bloods to a meeting, and blamed her side’s failure to match Ying Tian’s effort in the hunt’s final days.

• A Jian took Lin Tianlong, Lin Tianfeng, and Lin Tianbao to eat and encouraged their dissatisfaction with Snow God’s faction while praising Lin Feng’s side.
• Lin Feng waited for a second High-grade Psionic Crystal while Ying Tian’s faction held another party.

Two years later, he revealed a second plan based on simplified formations and replicated shields, leaving Ying Tian hopeful that his side could win the decade.

• Ying Tian rewarded Lin Feng with a High-grade Psionic Crystal and asked him how to counter Snow God's four new half-step Martial Saints.
• Lin Feng proposed trying to win over Snow God's half-step Martial Saints, and Ying Tian made the effort his priority.
• Lin Feng met A Jian and learned he had been laying the groundwork with the half-step Martial Saints, but Lin Feng decided not to rush the recruitment or bring Lin Tianlong and Lin Tianbao over.
• Over the next two years, Ying Tian attracted supporters while Snow God gained popularity and her faction pulled ahead in demon hunting.
• When Ying Tian asked about the recruitment effort, Lin Feng said it was progressing and showed him a replicated Myriad Water Vajra Shield and his work simplifying the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation.
• Lin Feng explained that shields and simplified formations could help Mixed-bloods hunt demons across wide areas, and Ying Tian promised him three High-grade Psionic Crystals and a treasury treasure if they won the decade.

Lin Feng arranged a staged recruitment attempt so A Jian, Lin Tianlong, Lin Tianfeng, and Lin Tianbao could prove their loyalty to Snow God while gaining her trust. Snow God rewarded them with weapons from the Celestials' Treasury, then prepared to confront Ying Tian and Lin Feng after reading their messages.

• Lin Feng told the four Mixed-bloods to pretend Ying Tian's generous offer had made them hesitate before rejecting it and returning to Snow God.
• Ying Tian agreed to promise the four Great General positions, High-grade Psionic Crystals, and treasures, and the four played along with Lin Feng's recruitment messages.
• A Jian led the others to Snow God's villa, where they showed her the chat records and declared that they would stay with her.
• Snow God embraced them, promised each a treasure, and took them to the Celestials' Treasury, where they chose and named their weapons.
• After the four left to practice with their weapons, Snow God found Ying Tian's and Lin Feng's names on her communication bracelet and prepared to teach them a lesson.

Snow God punished Ying Tian and Lin Feng after learning that Lin Feng had tried to turn her half-step Martial Saints against her. Lin Feng left for Ying Tian’s estate, intending to use his injuries to win sympathy and claim credit.

• Snow God invited Ying Tian for a drink, then beat him after he admitted he would not return A Feng to her.
• Ying Tian contacted Lin Feng and learned that all four half-step Martial Saints had refused to join them, though Lin Feng said his other research could still secure victory.
• Snow God intercepted Lin Feng and challenged him to fight without true qi; they remained evenly matched through a thousand exchanges.
• Snow God remembered Lin Feng’s attempt to turn her people and used her Martial Saint pressure to beat him.
• Lin Feng accepted the beating without resentment, then flew to Ying Tian’s estate to play up his injuries and claim credit.

Lin Feng devised and implemented a plan to boost Ying Tian's demon-hunting efforts by training ten thousand Mixed-bloods to use simplified formations and shields. After three months of preparation, the hunters entered the Black Mist, and Ying Tian invited Lin Feng back to claim a treasure from the Celestials' Treasury.

• Lin Feng showed Ying Tian the simplified Myriad Water Vajra Shield and Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation, and promised he could equip and train ten thousand Mixed-bloods within three months.
• Ying Tian gathered ten thousand Mixed-bloods and shield-refining materials at No. 1 Supply Base while Snow God grew uneasy about his preparations.
• Lin Feng refined the shields, trained the Mixed-bloods in the formation, and tested their combined hunting method in the Black Mist.
• After the Mixed-bloods began hunting demons, Lin Feng reported their progress to Ying Tian, who invited him back to choose a treasure from the Celestials' Treasury.

Lin Feng chose the Heart of Eternity from the Celestials' Treasury and gave it to A Lan, drawing attention at a charity gala. Snow God noticed the story online and grumbled that Lin Feng had never given her a gift, unaware that he would soon give her one.

• Ying Tian took Lin Feng to the clan treasury, where Lin Feng chose the Heart of Eternity as a gift for A Lan.
• Lin Feng collected three High-grade Psionic Crystals from Ying Tian and returned home to give A Lan the necklace.

• At a charity gala, guests recognized A Lan's necklace and praised or criticized Lin Feng for choosing it.
• Snow God saw the story trending on her smart bracelet and grumbled that Lin Feng had never given his mother anything.

Lin Feng’s hunting strategy pushed Ying Tian’s faction ahead of Snow God’s, prompting Snow God to spend months trying to develop a competing method. As Ying Tian’s side overtook hers, Snow God ordered her faction to exhaust its resources to win the decade.

• Ying Tian’s faction released hunting data that surpassed Snow God’s, and its officials kept Lin Feng’s method classified.
• Snow God’s faction discovered that Ying Tian’s hunters used Myriad Water Vajra Shield imitations and a simplified Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation to hunt demons rapidly.
• Snow God assigned two upper ranks to develop a similar strategy, but they made no progress over three months as the factions’ data drew close.
• Ying Tian asked Lin Feng whether his hunting strategy could be shared more widely, but Lin Feng warned that his subordinates might leak it and advised waiting.
• Ying Tian’s hunting data caught up to and surpassed Snow God’s, so she ordered her faction to open its warehouses and spend whatever it took to win.

Ying Tian countered Snow God's hunting incentives with resource promises and interest-bearing IOUs, helping his side pull further ahead. Meanwhile, he established hereditary Celestial nobility, deepening social divisions as Snow God feared the Celestials were changing beyond recognition.

• Snow God offered fivefold resources to hunters, and Lin Feng proposed that Ying Tian match the incentive by paying some of it later through interest-bearing IOUs.
• Ying Tian adopted the plan, and hunters on both sides flooded into the Black Mist; after half a year, Ying Tian's hunting figures had widened their lead.
• Ying Tian began establishing hereditary titles, making Lu Jinyuan the first hereditary duke and granting Lin Feng the title of Duke Who Guards the Nation.
• Ying Tian used titles to attract Snow God's subordinates, while backlash against hereditary privilege led to several families being slaughtered and the authorities offering bounties for the killers.
• War God and the Sage entered seclusion, and Snow God worried that Ying Tian would proclaim himself emperor as Lin Feng remained in the Black Mist.

After Ying Tian’s faction won the decade-long contest, Lin Feng strengthened his weapons and learned that cultivating many martial arts could improve his chances of becoming a Martial Saint. Ying Tian broke through to Martial Saint and prepared to proclaim himself emperor, while Lin Feng wondered how powerful his own eventual breakthrough might be.

• Ying Tian’s faction won the decade-long contest, and Ying Tian rewarded Lin Feng with another High-grade Psionic Crystal.
• Lin Feng upgraded the Myriad Water Vajra Shield and Seven Absolute Sword with High-grade Psionic Crystals, then buried his remaining three.
• Ying Tian promoted himself as the Celestials’ prophesied eternal emperor, then broke through to Martial Saint as the ninth Celestial counted in that rank.
• Lin Feng returned to congratulate Ying Tian and stayed after the celebration to ask how he had broken through.
• Ying Tian explained that cultivating more martial arts improved a breakthrough’s chances and strength, citing his own ten thousand and the Supreme’s one hundred thousand.
• Lin Feng realized he had cultivated one hundred and fifty martial arts and asked Ying Tian whether Martial Saints had different ranks.

Ying Tian claimed the Celestial throne and introduced hereditary titles, court rituals, and polygamy, while Lin Feng learned how cultivating many martial arts could make him a Supreme Martial Saint. The Celestials appeared stable ten years later, but resentment over inequality and social changes was building toward a major eruption.

• Ying Tian explained the ranks of Martial Saints to Lin Feng, who realized his million cultivated martial arts could make him a Supreme Martial Saint when he broke through.
• Ten days later, Ying Tian claimed the throne as Emperor Ying Tian and granted kingships to Sage, War God, and Snow God, who remained silent.
• Celestials debated whether Ying Tian's imperial system and hereditary titles would last, while Snow God chose not to oppose his rule despite seeing the system's risks.
• Ying Tian added court rituals and promoted polygyny and polyandry, then began selecting consorts and planning a harem of three thousand beauties.
• Ordinary Celestials worried that powerful people taking multiple spouses would leave them without partners and that mixed-blood descendants would have limited talent.
• Ten years later, Celestial society looked stable, but fierce internal conflicts had brought it close to a world-shaking eruption.

• Lin Feng raised A Lei to the Quasi-Martial Saint realm and warned him against accepting a noble title as commoner resentment grew.
• Three years later, Celestial commoners and marginalized fighters rebelled, systematically attacking noble families across cities and Supply Bases.
• The uprising escalated into widespread destruction as nobles retaliated, the Academy of Sciences burned, and Celestial warships bombarded the ground.
• The Supreme, Sage, War God, and Snow God awoke to the catastrophe, while Ying Tian found his communications cut off and was rebuked by the Supreme.
• The Supreme contacted the nine Martial Saints and Lin Feng, appointed Lin Feng the Celestials’ tenth Martial Saint, and gave him a mission to help end the riot.

Lin Feng became Blue Star's Grand Marshal and continued hunting demons while the Supreme and the Martial Saints moved to suppress the Celestial rebellion. The Supreme abolished Ying Tian's imperial and hereditary systems, but the violence and public distrust continued, leaving him to face the consequences of his son's rule.

• The Supreme appointed Lin Feng Blue Star's Grand Marshal and ordered him to keep hunting demons during the rebellion.
• The Supreme assigned Martial Saints to suppress unrest in cities, then used his Mental Power to freeze the capital's rioters and urge them to stop.

• A viscount and civilians exchanged accusations over the deaths of his family and the hereditary privileges of nobles as deadly conflicts continued across Blue Star.
• The Supreme accepted responsibility for the crisis and regretted allowing Ying Tian to reshape Celestial society.

After the Supreme stripped Ying Tian of leadership and sent him to watch Lin Feng, Lin Feng prepared for the possibility that the Supreme would attack him and the Blue Star. Lin Feng and the Blue Star Will considered using his self-destruction to severely wound the Supreme, and the Blue Star Will vowed to protect Lin Feng’s soul.

• The Supreme named Snow God temporary race leader, restored the earlier race laws, and ordered Ying Tian to hunt demons with A Feng while keeping an eye on him.
• Lin Feng suspected the Supreme had agreed to let him learn Star Martial only to later force him to prove his loyalty by destroying the Blue Star Dragon Vein, so he hid his allies and resources and avoided contacting A Lan.
• Ying Tian told Lin Feng that he had lost his position and that the Supreme had sent him to handle hunting matters alongside Lin Feng.
• Lin Feng told the Blue Star Will he could self-destruct with his avatars to severely wound even a peak Martial Saint, and the Blue Star Will promised to keep Lin Feng’s soul safe if they had to fight the Supreme.

After the Celestials quelled a devastating riot on Blue Star, a rebellion on Red Star escalated into a massacre and a Star Annihilator Cannon strike that gravely wounded the Supreme One. He decided the Celestials would return to rebuild their homeland, but first asked the War God about the progress of the Great Void.

• The Supreme One accepted responsibility for the Blue Star riots, barred the Martial Saints from seclusion, ordered them to take disciples, and sent Ying Tian to suppress the demon nest on Red Star.
• Nine alarm bells rang, and the Supreme One learned that Ying Tian's bid for the throne had triggered a Common Progress Society uprising and widespread destruction on Red Star.
• The Red Star warships fired a Star Annihilator Cannon, devastating the planet and injuring the Supreme One through his connection to Red Star's Will.
• The Supreme One struck and expelled Ying Tian, while the Sage urged the Celestials to unite and endure the disaster.
• The Supreme One announced that the Celestials would withdraw to Red Star and rebuild, then asked the War God how far construction of the Great Void had progressed.

The Supreme ordered the Celestials to evacuate Blue Star and prepare to return to Red Star, while Lin Feng feared being separated from A Lan and spent a tender morning at home with her and A Lei. After Lin Feng left in response to a summons, A Lan revealed her fear that he would never come back.

• The Supreme ordered the War God to rush completion of the Great Void and send two fleets to Red Star, while the Snow God began arranging the Celestials' evacuation from Blue Star.
• Most Celestial citizens welcomed the return, and Lin Feng concluded that the Supreme would not keep his promise to let him stay behind.
• Lin Feng stayed close to A Lan, confessed that he feared losing her, and made breakfast with her before A Lei arrived and joined them.
• Lin Feng said he had been summoned, and A Lan helped him dress and kissed him before he left.
• After Lin Feng departed, A Lan's demeanor turned icy, and she tearfully asked A Lei whether Lin Feng was coming back.

A Lan told A Lei that A Feng would disappear and that they would meet again in the distant future, giving him a wooden carving to pass on. After spending the day trying to disprove her prediction, A Lei entered a park and collided with someone he recognized.

• A Lan demonstrated her ability to predict the near future and told A Lei that A Feng would return in the distant future as Lin Feng.
• A Lan warned A Lei that she and A Feng would disappear, entrusted him with a wooden carving, and said it contained answers for A Feng.
• A Lei left with the carving, convinced A Lan was playing a trick on him, and hired a cab to travel far away.
• The elderly driver spoke of the Celestials leaving Blue Star, making A Lei sad about leaving his homeland.
• At night, A Lei entered a park where he had once walked with A Feng and A Lan, collided with someone, and stared in disbelief when he saw them.

Lin Feng watched the Celestial fleets depart, exchanged farewells and warnings with Snow God, and prepared to confront the Supreme in the Black Mist. As Lin Feng and the Blue Star Will resolved to fight, A Lan prepared herself for what might come and prayed that Lin Feng survived.

• Lin Feng used Mental Telepathy to contact Snow God as her fleet left, and they reassured each other before she warned him that the Supreme would target him.
• Lin Feng accepted that the Supreme intended to deal with him, took the Sky-Rending Gauntlets from the Celestials' Treasury for A Lei, and left him a message explaining where to find them.
• Lin Feng told the Blue Star Will that the Supreme had summoned him to the Black Mist, and they agreed to stake their lives on fighting him.
• A Lan put on her combat suit, treasured the memories she might lose, and silently urged Lin Feng to survive and wait for her.
