• Helena examined the captured, damaged White Bone Fiend and learned that headquarters had identified a possible suspect for No. 1 using Dawn Angel and Arthur’s deductions.

Helena ordered a pursuit after the British Commonwealth’s satellite surveillance identified Wang Yu, while Wang Yu realized he was being tracked and raced toward his rendezvous near Karlo Town. He sent seven skeletons to delay the pursuing convoy, but an earthen wall suddenly stopped his car and sent it crashing back onto the road.

• Helena reviewed satellite footage of Wang Yu and ordered her team to pursue him from Pengjie City.
• Wang Yu sensed that a satellite was watching him, considered sending a White Bone Puppet into space to destroy it, then continued toward Karlo Town.
• A hidden gas station west of Karlo Town showed fresh tire tracks leading into it.
• Wang Yu saw a convoy of green jeeps closing in and summoned seven armored skeletons to attack the pursuers.
• As Wang Yu tried to escape, an earthen wall rose across the road, and his car smashed into it and crashed backward.

Wang Yu escaped the wrecked car underground, but Helena and her A-Rank companions tracked him and pursued him. As Henry caught up beneath the earth, Wang Yu discovered that Henry's silver armor and helmet resisted Telekinetic Power and prepared another attack.

• Helena, Henry, and the winged boy found the overturned car empty, and Helena concluded that No. 1 had escaped underground.
• The winged boy used Dawn Angel's tracking coordinates to locate No. 1 moving east, while Helena and the boy set off in pursuit and Henry burrowed after him.
• Wang Yu used an Escape Technique to flee a hundred meters underground and hurried toward his support team to escape satellite surveillance.
• Wang Yu's Telekinetic Power struck Henry, but Henry continued swimming through the soil because his silver helmet blocked the attack.
• Wang Yu scanned Henry, spotted the silver armor beneath the earth covering, and sent another wave of Telekinetic Power at him.

Wang Yu escaped an underground attack and emerged into a confrontation involving Helena, a winged boy, and three newcomers from the War God Group. The black-clad woman challenged Helena as the opposing forces gathered for their mission.

• Old Man Meng appeared behind Helena, and an armored man arrived with a black-clad woman hanging beneath him.
• The black-clad woman confronted Helena and drew her saber, while Helena identified the arrivals as the War God Group.

The War God Group fought three Grade A British Commonwealth ability users, while Wang Yu watched from the air. Mulan defeated Earthman, Helena attacked Master, and the battle continued with the other combatants still engaged.

• Mulan identified the British Commonwealth team and attacked Helena with a Wind Blade, which Helena blocked with a lightning shield.
• Helena ordered Earthman to ambush Mulan and had the winged youth trap Mighty General and Wang Yu in rings.
• Mulan broke free of Earthman's grasp, kicked him out of the ground, and slashed him across the chest.
• Earthman formed a giant from earth and stone and charged Mulan as Helena unleashed a storm of lightning at Master.
• Master evaded Helena's lightning, while Mulan used the Draw-Cutting Art to decapitate Earthman.

The Black-Clothed Woman destroyed the Earth-and-Stone Giant and rescued Henry, while the gray-robed old man repeatedly threw Helena despite her lightning attacks. Wang Yu watched the old man’s strange power leave Helena wary.

• The Black-Clothed Woman used the Black Tiger Breathing Method and a flurry of punches to shatter the headless Earth-and-Stone Giant, then rescued the unconscious Henry.

• Helena teleported behind the old man and formed six lightning arms to trap him in a Lightning Net, but he turned and flipped her onto the ground with a touch.
• Helena sprang up and attacked again, but the old man flipped her a second time, leaving her wary as Wang Yu watched.

Wang Yu destroyed the Military General’s enormous Rings with his Bone Banner, but an Orbital Cannon struck the battlefield and blasted a vast crater into the ground. The cannon failed to kill Wang Yu, and the British Commonwealth prepared a stronger second strike just as Huaguo’s Special Department called its general.

• Wang Yu unleashed black mist from his Bone Banner and shattered the enormous Rings around him and the Military General.
• The Winged Boy tightened his grip on the Silver Pistol as the Black-Clothed Woman knocked the Earthman unconscious again.
• Wang Yu spotted a threat in the sky and raised a black-mist pillar, but an Orbital Cannon’s laser blasted it and struck the ground as he fled underground.
• The Military General identified the weapon as a Strategist-Class Laser Cannon, while the others reacted to its devastating strike.
• At a British Commonwealth military base, officers reported that Wang Yu had survived underground, and the hooked-nosed general ordered a stronger second shot.
• A field-grade officer delivered a call from Huaguo’s Special Department, and the hooked-nosed general answered after hearing who was calling.

General McKay and Minister Li argued over the British Commonwealth’s plan to destroy No. 1, while Huaguo threatened a retaliatory orbital strike. Mr. Ressa intervened and brokered a possible research agreement, leaving McKay ready to stand down while negotiations over the Saitan World remained ahead.

• Minister Li warned General McKay that Huaguo’s Heavenly Palace satellite would strike Dawn Angel if it attacked No. 1 again.
• McKay claimed No. 1 was a cloned test subject belonging to the British Commonwealth, while Li insisted No. 1 was a protected Huaguo citizen and threatened to take the dispute to the Future People.
• Mr. Ressa joined the call and urged McKay not to destroy No. 1, saying he could be key to saving both worlds.
• McKay said Parliament would make sparing No. 1 difficult, so Li offered the British Commonwealth a chance to participate in research on the Saitan World in exchange for opening some exclusive projects.
• McKay agreed to order the Superpower Corps to stand down and convene a meeting, while Mr. Ressa declared that he would formally join the Saitan World research.

Dr. Chen explained why No. 1 was vital to Blue Star’s survival and urged Huaguo and the British Commonwealth to cooperate. He announced that he would force an Ark Team vote on the controversial Sky-Opening Plan, leaving Minister Li asking what the plan and Council System involved.

• Raisa told Minister Li that national prejudice and hostility could doom Blue Star, while Minister Li refused to stake Huaguo’s security on other countries’ goodwill.
• Dr. Chen said No. 1 was worth more than the three men combined and that bringing out his potential required the British Commonwealth and possibly other nations.
• Dr. Chen argued that even Mecha had failed to ensure survival in his world and announced his intention to submit the Sky-Opening Plan to the Ark Team.
• Raisa opposed the plan because the Alliance Council had rejected it and most simulations had failed, offering only two additional team members for the Saitan project.
• Dr. Chen said he would use his personal Optical Brain to force a Council vote, and Minister Li asked what the plan and voting system were.

Dr. Chen explained the Sky-Opening Plan to Minister Li, describing No. 1 as the Pangu who might enable humanity to reach a new world. Near Karlo Town, Mulan confirmed Wang Yu was No. 1 and ordered the War God Group to evacuate him toward a port for submarine pickup.

• Raisa warned Minister Li that Chen’s Parliament vote could cost him his helmsman status if it failed, then left to notify the Ark Team.
• Dr. Chen told Minister Li that the Sky-Opening Plan sought a new world as humanity’s refuge and that No. 1 might be its Pangu.
• Wang Yu watched Helena’s convoy leave with the unconscious Earthman as seven damaged White Bone Skeletons appeared before him.
• Master approached Wang Yu and asked whether he had summoned the skeletons, and Wang Yu concealed them with the Bone Banner and Silver Talisman.
• Mulan cut Wang Yu’s hand, verified his identity as No. 1, and ordered the War God Group to retrieve flight packs and escape by air to a port.

Wang Yu and his companions escaped toward Huaguo aboard a submarine, where he slept and dreamed of his injured body in the Cultivation World. After waking, he examined the damage to his White Bone Banner and called for the Taiyuan Auxiliary System, which he expected to have completed its reset.

• Mulan gave Wang Yu and the others flight packs, and they flew toward a distant port.
• The four boarded a submarine and began the journey back to Huaguo.
• After sleeping for more than ten hours, Wang Yu awoke from a vivid dream of his badly burned body in the Cultivation World being tended by a green-robed girl and Little White.
• Wang Yu used yin power to dry his clothes and found that the orbital cannon had nearly depleted the White Bone Banner's yin energy and destroyed its entry-tier ghost creatures.
• Wang Yu called for the Taiyuan Auxiliary System to enter the login interface.

Wang Yu reset the system, retrieved the completed deduction of a secret art designed to ease breakthroughs in the Crimson Sun Great Art, and confirmed that his deduction permissions had been restored. He remained uncertain about Taiyuan’s origins and planned what Cultivation World information to share with Dr. Chen and the researchers at the Huaguo base.

• Wang Yu ordered a system reset, entered the login interface, and found the silver hall unchanged except for a golden icon displaying “Deduction complete.”
• Wang Yu asked Taiyuan to retrieve the results, and a red book titled “Nameless Auxiliary Secret Art” appeared on the screen.
• Wang Yu studied the secret art and learned that it helped practitioners adapt their bodies to the Crimson Sun Great Art, with suggested aids including concentrated sunlight and an Ember Source gene serum.
• Wang Yu considered bringing gene serum from Blue Star to the Cultivation World, but recognized that this depended on whether his consciousness could return there.
• Wang Yu activated deduction permission and confirmed that his three uses had been restored after the system reset and integration.
• Wang Yu pondered Taiyuan’s connection to Blue Star’s superbrain and decided to consider what Cultivation World information to share with Dr. Chen and the Huaguo researchers.

Wang Yu tested how the Login Interface handled living soul iron and confirmed it could not be duplicated. He used the iron to feed the White Bone Fiends and arranged for its stored souls to be released gradually, then logged out.

• Wang Yu summoned the White Bone Banner's Skeleton Soldiers and released blood pig souls from a piece of living soul iron, letting the soldiers and nearby yin spirits battle over them.
• Wang Yu confirmed that he could not copy the living soul iron within the interface, while the original blocks remained in the Mysterious Talisman's storage space after he logged out and back in.
• Wang Yu brought the living soul iron into the White Bone Banner and adjusted its sealing spells so its living souls would emerge in batches for the White Bone Fiends to devour.
• Wang Yu returned the banner to the White Bone Altar and logged out of the interface.

Wang Yu returned to the cramped compartment on the submarine, where Li Shiyi visited him for a drink and revealed that he was a compound Ability User. Li Shiyi demonstrated his Inversion ability on Wang Yu, leaving him curious about the power.

• Wang Yu returned from the Interface Space to the compartment and reflected on his plans for the White Bone Yin Demon Banner.
• Li Shiyi arrived with osmanthus liquor and invited Wang Yu to drink with him.
• Li Shiyi revealed that he was forty and that his aged appearance was the price of his power.
• Li Shiyi explained his Super Pupil ability, which slowed his perception of the world, and his Inversion ability, which turned people and animals upside down.
• Li Shiyi used Inversion to turn Wang Yu upside down, then restored him to his normal posture.

Li Shiyi revealed that his Super Pupil ability came from an experimental operation that shortened his lifespan and left him with semi-mechanical prosthetic legs. He explained the War God Squad’s augmentations and ancient martial arts, then said Mulan had mastered the Black Tiger Breathing Method far better than he had.

• Li Shiyi explained that Inversion required him to touch someone with both hands, while Super Pupil had cost him more than forty years of life.
• Li Shiyi tore back the skin on his ankle to show Wang Yu the semi-mechanical prosthetic limb beneath it.
• Li Shiyi revealed that he, Mulan, and Mighty General had survived experimental operations, with different limbs modified for each of them.
• Li Shiyi said his prosthetic legs were fifty or sixty times stronger and more responsive than his original legs, and described the harsh training behind his family’s Blood Shadow Leg.
• Li Shiyi dismissed internal power and true qi as fiction and said his results from the Black Tiger Breathing Method were far below Mulan’s.

Wang Yu learned that Li Shiyi, Mulan, and Mighty General had lost years of life in a special operation and wanted to find a way to recover them. Li Shiyi also explained how his Super Pupil and prosthetic legs let him evade lightning, but Wang Yu pressed him about the martial arts technique behind his movements.

• Li Shiyi asked Wang Yu about Mulan's Breathing Technique, and Wang Yu explained that he had reached its third layer in Saitan World.
• Li Shiyi asked whether the Cultivation World had ways to restore vitality or extend lifespans, and Wang Yu confirmed that such rare methods existed.
• Li Shiyi revealed that Mulan and Mighty General had also lost decades of lifespan after their operation and that all three had come to seek Wang Yu's help.
• Wang Yu asked how Li Shiyi's body could keep pace with his Super Pupil, and Li Shiyi credited his Semi-Mechanical Prosthetic Limbs and their overload mode.
• Li Shiyi said an Ancient Martial Arts Leg Technique from the Li Household had helped him dodge the lightning.

Wang Yu explained how Li Shiyi used Instantaneous Step to evade lightning and laid out the difficulties of finding a treatment for the three modified men’s shortened lifespans. He offered to search the Cultivation World for pill formulas or medicinal prescriptions that might help, and Li Shiyi agreed to proceed with the deal as Wang Yu turned to discuss compensation.

• Li Shiyi explained that he and ancient martial arts masters had transformed the Li Household’s Afterimage Step into Instantaneous Step using his mechanical prosthetic limbs and Super Pupil ability.
• Wang Yu confirmed that Li Shiyi’s apparent calmness amid the lightning came from moving at extreme speed and leaving phantom bodies behind.
• Li Shiyi revealed that he and two others wanted Wang Yu to find something in the Cultivation World to restore their lost lifespan.
• Wang Yu warned that lifespan-extending treasures were exceedingly rare and explained that he might not be able to return to the Cultivation World or bring items back.
• Wang Yu offered to search for pill formulas or ordinary-ingredient medicinal prescriptions that Blue Star’s technology might reproduce, and Li Shiyi accepted the possibility.
• Wang Yu said it was time to discuss his compensation for the deal.

Wang Yu agreed to help Li Eleven, Mulan, and Mighty General find ways to restore their lifespans in exchange for lessons in Ancient Martial Arts. After returning to Huaguo, he trained with Li Eleven for over a month and struggled through the first phase of Instantaneous Step.

• Wang Yu asked Li Eleven, Mulan, and Mighty General to teach him Ancient Martial Arts, especially Li Eleven’s Instantaneous Step, and Li Eleven accepted the bargain.
• Li Eleven told Mulan and Mighty General that Wang Yu had agreed to help them find a way to restore their lifespans.
• Wang Yu wondered how Li Eleven had reached his door without his divine sense noticing, then considered how to deal with Dr. Chen after returning to Huaguo.
• Over ten days later, a guarded convoy carrying three identical black sedans left a secret Huaguo port and headed for the capital before all news of it disappeared.
• Two months later, Wang Yu trained in a secret underground base, where Li Eleven praised his progress with the Four Beasts Art after he struggled through the first phase of the footwork.
• After Li Eleven left for Mulan’s lesson, Wang Yu sat down and practiced the Black Tiger Breathing Method.

Wang Yu trained with Mulan, the Military General, and a foreign instructor to learn several combat techniques, enduring punishing lessons along the way. After the foreign instructor’s brutal training, Wang Yu lay battered in a Medical Pod.

• Mulan began teaching Wang Yu the Mu Family’s Vibrating Force, and Wang Yu explained why he wanted to learn ancient martial arts techniques.
• Wang Yu took Mulan’s Vibrating Force punch and staggered backward as the force numbed his arms.
• The Military General demonstrated Willow-Leaf Flying Knives by striking the vital points of a wooden target from more than thirty meters away while Wang Yu watched.
• Three days later, a foreign White Man introduced the Maboer Combat Technique and warned Wang Yu that training would end only when Wang Yu beat him or was crippled.
• After an hour of training with the foreign White Man, Wang Yu lay bruised in a Medical Pod while nurses treated him.

Wang Yu trained in dagger combat with Major Ika while Dr. Chen briefed Minister Li, Deputy Speaker Ollie, and Raisa on the origins of the Saitan Plan and the future Blue Star Alliance’s Sky-Opening Plan. The chapter left the officials watching footage of Wang Yu’s first entry into Saitan World as Dr. Chen explained why he had revived the plan.

• Wang Yu sparred with Major Ika, who warned him that he was still far behind and continued teaching him dagger combat.
• Dr. Chen ended the projection of Wang Yu’s training and began briefing Minister Li, Deputy Speaker Ollie, and Raisa about No. 1 and the Saitan Project.
• Dr. Chen showed footage of Wang Yu entering Saitan World for the first time nearly two years earlier.
• Dr. Chen explained that the Saitan Plan originated in the future, where Blue Star’s leaders rejected contact with Saitan World and destroyed the forming passage with nuclear warheads.
• Dr. Chen said an Immortal Cultivator from Saitan World later appeared on the future interstellar battlefield, prompting him to launch the Saitan Plan after returning to present-day Blue Star.

Dr. Chen briefed Deputy Speaker Ollie, Raisa, and Minister Li on the Saitan Project, its anomalous failure, and No. 1’s experiences in Saitan World. He ended by revealing that the sleep pods’ Taiyuan subsystems had vanished and that No. 1 had shown unusual interest in Taiyuan.

• Dr. Chen explained that unknown energy from deep space disrupted the first Saitan experiment, damaged most sleep pods, and coincided with the Saitan phenomenon disappearing.
• Dr. Chen said only No. 1 and two others entered Saitan World, while later attempts failed; Raisa and Deputy Speaker Ollie noted that other countries had found no suitable participants.
• Dr. Chen inferred that people from Huaguo could resonate with Saitan World because its people shared a connection with the Hua People, and that the passage’s location limited which groups could enter.
• Dr. Chen revealed that No. 1 had occupied Wang Tiezhu’s body and likely merged with part of his consciousness; Raisa explained that future Blue Star had studied consciousness fusion to counter Nebula Beasts.
• Dr. Chen recounted that No. 1 joined the Four Symbols Sect and returned with information about Saitan World, then disclosed that the sleep pods’ Taiyuan subsystems were gone and No. 1 had shown interest in Taiyuan.

Dr. Chen explained that No. 1 might have merged with a Taiyuan subsystem as a rare Celestial Person, then outlined the strategic value of his discoveries in the Saitan World. The meeting ended after the delegates considered the cultivation methods, spirit inscriptions, and No. 1’s ability to return to the Otherworld.

• Raisa described Celestial Persons, and Dr. Chen speculated that No. 1 might have merged with the Taiyuan Subsystem under the influence of unknown energy.
• Deputy Speaker Ollie raised the possibility of extraterrestrial interference, while Minister Li warned against unsupported speculation.
• Dr. Chen explained that the rudimentary subsystem could not connect to Huaguo’s Superbrain Taiyuan and would offer No. 1 limited assistance.
• Dr. Chen presented footage showing Huaguo soldiers using the Black Tiger Breathing Method and Four Beast Diagram to gain extraordinary physical strength.
• Dr. Chen emphasized that information about Immortal Cultivators, especially spirit inscriptions and No. 1’s ability to return to the Saitan World, could help Blue Star survive its catastrophe.
• After five or six hours, the meeting ended, leaving Ollie dazed, Raisa uncertain, Minister Li worried, and Dr. Chen composed.

Dr. Chen secured support from the British Commonwealth, the Ark Team, and Huaguo for the Sky-Opening Plan, including efforts to find a land of yin energy and expand the base. Wang Yu endured the experimental Thunder Acupoint Infusion Technique and then saw the Moon Palace, a fortified structure being built to aid his travels between worlds.

• Dr. Chen urged Speaker Ollie to send the resources the base urgently needed, and Ollie promised to arrange an initial shipment after returning home.
• Raisa agreed to send people and half the Ark Team's resources to assist the Sky-Opening Plan, while admitting she remained doubtful about its prospects.
• Minister Li pledged Huaguo's support, and Dr. Chen explained the need to expand the base and search for a land of yin energy.
• Two nurses inserted dozens of needles into Wang Yu, and a middle-aged researcher sent electricity through them as he tested the Thunder Acupoint Infusion Technique.
• Dr. Chen showed Wang Yu the Moon Palace, a spherical fortress made of talisman inscription alloy and built to support his journeys between worlds.

Dr. Chen explained the Moon Palace’s plan to trigger Wang Yu’s travel between worlds by exposing him to extreme cold in a sleeping pod, while outlining their theories about a transferable spacetime anchor. Wang Yu was startled to learn that the pod might also let Blue Star contact him through the Star River Game while he was in the Cultivation World.

• Wang Yu questioned whether the Moon Palace could help him travel back to the Cultivation World, and Dr. Chen said he was seventy or eighty percent confident.
• Dr. Chen explained that extreme danger caused abnormal brain-wave fluctuations and proposed using cryogenic equipment in the sleeping pod to trigger Wang Yu’s consciousness to travel to the Saitan World.
• Dr. Chen theorized that a unique spacetime anchor in Wang Yu’s body enabled travel between worlds and said it could transfer or regenerate after the previous body was destroyed.
• Wang Yu asked whether the anchor could exist in multiple clones, and Dr. Chen estimated that it would appear in only one body, likely the clone most similar to the destroyed one.
• Dr. Chen described the Moon Palace’s defenses, supplies, escape systems, and No. 1 Sleeping Pod, including its features for maintaining Wang Yu’s body during long periods of sleep.
• Dr. Chen said researchers were studying whether the Star River Game could enable communication across worlds, and Wang Yu reacted with surprise.

Dr. Chen explained Star River’s origins and warned Wang Yu that his body in the Cultivation World faced growing danger while he remained on Blue Star. He outlined new training and technology courses to prepare Wang Yu for his next crossing, then Wang Yu said he had two requests.

• Dr. Chen told Wang Yu that Star River used material from the Kree People, emerged from a simulation by future Blue Star’s Three Great Optical Brains, and operated beyond anyone’s control.
• Dr. Chen said the Moon Palace would be ready soon and scheduled Wang Yu’s voluntary crossing for ten days later, then described Thunder Acupoint Body Infusion and two incoming instructors: Master Depa and the Martial Ancestor.
• Dr. Chen revealed that the Sky-Opening Group had arranged a crash course in making primitive technologies, including power generators, machine tools, gunpowder, firearms, and alloys, for use in the Cultivation World.
• Dr. Chen warned Wang Yu not to learn the full Sky-Opening Plan because Immortal Cultivators could use Soul Searching, and urged him to protect himself and gather information.
• Wang Yu agreed to study diligently but told Dr. Chen he had two requests before crossing over.
