Yaxes learned that the Space-Jumping Beast had obtained the coordinates of the technological civilization’s home planet and set off to report them. Meanwhile, Ryze and seven other powerful figures from Terra parachuted from a transport plane by flying, and the fighter jets began clearing the Demon Clan’s aerial forces as they prepared to fight.

• The Space-Jumping Beast gave Yaxes the crystal core containing the coordinates of the technological civilization’s home planet.

• A staff officer warned that Terra’s races might turn against Great Xia, and another suggested keeping some demons alive to preserve Great Xia’s presence.

Lin Mo and Great Xia’s officers agreed to establish lasting ties with Terra’s races through cultural exchange, trade, education, and intermarriage. Long Zhan warned that other Demon Clan wormholes might exist, prompting Lin Mo to seek the races’ help searching for them, while people in Great Xia eagerly discussed Terra online.

• Ba'ge'er said he could not bear the uncertainty any longer, and Waldolong proposed that the four race representatives ask for an update together.

After learning that Terra’s forces had killed the Eighth-Order Demon God, the representatives of the various races asked to return home. Li Baitian secured permission for them to go back and make contact, but the news that the Pope had fallen sent Dalens rushing out of the office.

• Li Baitian told Waldolong, Bagel, Woken, and Dalens that Terra’s allied forces had killed the Demon God and defeated more than ten million Demon Clan troops.

• Bagel, Woken, and Dalens decided to leave immediately, and Li Baitian arranged an escort.
• Li Baitian told Dalens that the Pope had fallen, and Dalens refused to believe him before rushing out to return to Terra.

Li Baitian stopped Dalens from running the wrong way after learning that the Pope had fallen, and told the other representatives to prepare to return to Terra. After informing the red Dragon that the Demon God had been slain, he learned that the Dragon Race would join them.

• Li Baitian ran after Dalens while Waldolong, Woken, and Bagel asked whether their rulers were safe.
• Waldolong, Woken, and Bagel restrained Dalens as he tried to rush back to Holy Light City, and Li Baitian pointed out that the Portal to Terra was behind them.

• Li Baitian visited the Dragon Race's ecological zone and told the red Dragon that the Demon God had been slain and the representatives were returning to Terra.
• The red Dragon agreed to go, and Li Baitian said he would arrange transport to the Portal plaza.

Li Baitian led the Four Races’ representatives through Great Xia’s Portal and into the Terra Continent, where they saw the scale of its military power and its rapid reconstruction. The chapter ended with Waldolong asking about three huge ships pumping mud from the sea, and Bagel wondering what the dredgers were for.

• Li Baitian guided the representatives through the underground base’s security checks and past Great Xia’s tanks, artillery, missiles, drones, soldiers, and three Dragons before they entered the Portal.
• The representatives emerged onto the Terra Continent, where Great Xia Combat Engineers were building permanent defenses and repair soldiers were working on heavy artillery.
• Waldolong and the others watched Half-Orc warriors deliver a Fourth Order Enchanted Sawtooth Wolf carcass to a Great Xia Quartermaster to be weighed for a Custom Weapons reward.
• The representatives saw three massive Cutter Suction Dredgers pump mud and sand into the shallows, pushing back the sea and creating new land.
• Waldolong asked Li Baitian what the ships were, and Bagel wondered whether they were digging mud to make bricks.

After the leaders returned to their homelands, Ryze and seven other experts destroyed a third underground demon wormhole. As the races began rebuilding, the Elves, Dwarves, and Half-Orcs worried about damaged resources and vulnerable borders, and their leaders considered buying portals from the Holy Human Race.

• Li Baitian told Dalens, Waldolong, and Woken that Great Xia planned to reclaim land from the sea, then said they could return to their countries through the portals.
• Ryze and seven seventh-order experts cleared demons from a cavern beneath Emerald Leaf Forest and destroyed its wormhole.
• An elven elder ordered guards to secure the ruined mithril mine and considered the Elves’ old disputes with the Dwarves.
• A dwarf elder ordered more mining and planned to buy portals from the Holy Human Race to supply border cities and guard against the Elves.
• Warwick learned that rebuilding the Half-Orc border would take at least ten years and ordered his people to buy portals so they could move troops and supplies more quickly.

Reynolds and the Holy See considered selling portals to other races at higher prices, while Lin Mo handled the races’ requests to bring their people home after the war. He and Zhao Gang settled on converting the supplies already sent to Great Xia into gold-coin credits for future purchases.

• Reynolds asked the Holy See’s high archbishops whether to accept portal orders from the Elves, Dwarf Clan, and Half-Orc Tribe, and Benedict supported selling the portals at higher prices.
• Lin Mo watched the Allied Army reclaim territory across the Terra Continent as the Demon Clan’s mist dissipated.
• Lin Mo received a think-tank document about the races’ request to end the Seed Plan and called Zhao Gang to discuss how to handle their supplies.
• Lin Mo and Zhao Gang rejected returning the supplies and retaining them as damages, since returning them would incur major costs and claiming damages would harm relations.
• Lin Mo and Zhao Gang agreed to convert the supplies into gold-coin credits for the races’ future purchases from Great Xia and to offer additional compensation.

Lin Mo and Zhao Gang negotiated with the races over the Seed Plan participants and the supplies Great Xia had received. Great Xia offered the races gold-account balances and urged them to keep their people on Blue Star, leaving the representatives silent as they considered the threat of another invasion.

• Lin Mo met the representatives, including Fendona, who remained annoyed that he had not answered her letter.
• Kael requested that Great Xia return all Seed Plan participants and the supplies the races had provided.
• Lin Mo agreed to send the participants back but refused to return the supplies, offering instead to credit their market value to each race's purchasing account.

• Zhao Gang said Great Xia would keep trade channels open and recommended that the participants remain on Blue Star.
• Lin Mo warned that more Eighth Order enemies might appear, leaving the representatives silent over the risks of returning their people to Terra.

After Great Xia reached a settlement with the other races, Lin Mo made up with Fendona and began showing her around Great Xia’s fief. The chapter left them touring the weapons factory.

• Lin Mo and the representatives agreed that the races’ Seed Plan participants would remain on Blue Star and Great Xia would return twenty percent of the supplies it had received.
• Lin Mo asked Zhao Gang to send the meeting minutes to Elder Zhao, then Fendona confronted him about not replying to her letters.
• Lin Mo promised Fendona several Great Xia outfits, and she explained that the Queen had sent her to negotiate while Elder Muyu helped rebuild the defenses.
• Lin Mo invited Fendona to tour Great Xia’s territory and showed her the weapons factory, where bullets, artillery shells, and magazines were made.

Lin Mo showed Fendona around his industrial facilities and seaport before she left to report to the Queen. After reaching the sixth rank, he experimented with teleportation magic, failed to stabilize a portal, and revised the incantation to create a brief opening; he left his room at dawn ready to test it again.

• Lin Mo showed Fendona his automated factory, demon corpse recycling plant, planned commercial district, and warships at the seaport.
• Fendona asked Lin Mo what the Terra Continent would be like in the future, and he told her it could be as good as she wanted.
• Fendona left to report their discussions to the Queen, and Lin Mo returned home after dinner to test teleportation magic.
• Lin Mo repeatedly opened unstable spatial fissures in his courtyard, but each collapsed when he tried to stabilize it with a magic array.
• Lin Mo realized he only needed a temporary opening large enough to pass through, then rewrote the incantation to remove long-term stabilization commands.
• At dawn, Lin Mo left his room with his staff, convinced his revised incantation might work.

Lin Mo successfully developed a version of sixth-rank teleportation that used his magic power and line of sight instead of a magic array. After teleporting between the courtyard and a distant flagpole, he startled his guards by appearing outside the gate, then told them he had learned the Holy Human Race's teleportation magic.

• Lin Mo opened a stable teleportation passage with his revised incantation and crossed the courtyard before the opening vanished.
• Lin Mo teleported a hundred meters to the training ground beside a flagpole, confirming he could travel to places he could see.
• Lin Mo teleported outside the courtyard gate, where Wu Suowei and Wu Jiandao mistook him for an impersonator and checked his identity.
• Lin Mo explained that he had learned the Holy Human Race's teleportation magic, and both guards praised him.

Lin Mo practiced teleportation magic with Wu Suowei and Wu Jiandao, then told Kael that he had already learned to open spatial passages. He demonstrated a Portal in the dining hall, leaving Kael and the watching soldiers stunned.

• Lin Mo explained that he could not yet build Interstellar Portals and repeatedly practiced opening them with Wu Suowei and Wu Jiandao, improving their size, stability, and duration.
• Lin Mo stopped practicing and went to breakfast, where he found Kael eating Great Xia food in the dining hall.
• Lin Mo told Kael that he had reached the Sixth Rank and had studied teleportation magic; Kael explained the usual steps and lengthy training required to master it.
• Lin Mo said he had already learned to open spatial passages and travel through them, leaving Kael in disbelief.
• Lin Mo demonstrated by opening a Portal in the dining hall, and the room fell silent.

Lin Mo learned to open a spatial portal, then worked with Kael to correct the layout of a spatial magic array. Zhao Gang and Long Zhan urged him to develop portals independently so humanity could connect distant settlements without relying on the Holy Human Race, while Lin Mo struggled to link a living spatial passage to the fixed array.

• Lin Mo opened a portal, astonishing Kael and the soldiers with how quickly he learned teleportation magic.
• Kael corrected the positions of a spatial crystal and two rune stones in Lin Mo’s magic array.
• Zhao Gang and Long Zhan told Lin Mo that stable portals could connect the polar underground cities, the lunar base, and Mars, and warned him that humanity should build its own portals.
• Lin Mo repeatedly tried to connect a spatial passage to the magic array, but the passage collapsed whenever he could not stabilize both at once.

Lin Mo mastered stabilizing a spatial passage and asked Kael to teach him spatial positioning. Kael explained that positioning required sensing space and accounting for the movement of planets, leaving Lin Mo to consider the challenge.

• After four failed attempts, Lin Mo adjusted the spatial passage’s vibrations until they matched the magic array and created a stable portal.
• Zhao Gang praised Lin Mo’s success, while Kael acknowledged his achievement and wondered whether Lin Mo was the reincarnation of a god.
• Lin Mo practiced stabilizing the portal repeatedly through dusk, then asked Kael to teach him spatial positioning.
• The next morning, Kael explained that spatial positioning began with sensing one’s own location and mapping space mentally.
• Kael warned that Blue Star moved while a portal was being prepared, so its position would change before Lin Mo could reach it.

After days of training, Lin Mo located Blue Star across star systems and opened an Astral Portal to it on his first attempt. The unstable passage quickly closed, leaving Zhao Gang amazed and Kael stunned by Lin Mo’s success.

• Lin Mo spent thirteen days learning to sense spatial coordinates, marking Terra and then locating Blue Star’s star system.
• Lin Mo activated a large Magic Array with Kael and Zhao Gang present, targeting Blue Star.
• The Portal opened onto Blue Star, revealing the ruined city, the World Tree, and people building a new home.
• Lin Mo lost focus, and the unstable Portal closed before the group could pass through.
• Zhao Gang praised Lin Mo’s achievement, while Kael recalled needing over a hundred attempts himself and kept quiet.

Lin Mo successfully opened a portal from the Terra Continent to a site beneath the World Tree on Blue Star, where soldiers verified his identity and secured the area. He strained to enlarge the portal while Kael watched, leaving the connection open but still dependent on Lin Mo's endurance.

• Lin Mo refined the portal's coordinates and opened it beside the World Tree.
• Workers and soldiers at the construction site saw the portal, and a guard squad aimed their weapons at the people on the other side.
• Zhao Gang identified himself and Lin Mo, and the squad leader verified Zhao Gang's code before ordering the soldiers to lower their weapons and salute.
• The crowd gathered to watch as soldiers established a cordon around the portal.
• Lin Mo kept expanding the portal toward three and a half meters despite his draining mental energy, while Kael watched without interrupting.

Lin Mo opened and stabilized Great Xia’s first independently built Interstellar Portal, connecting Blue Star to Terra. Elder Zhao praised him and declared that the Portal would open the way for Great Xia’s future expansion across the Solar System.

• Lin Mo struggled to expand the Portal until Kael told him to stop and focus on stabilizing it.
• Lin Mo anchored the passage in the Magic Array, which powered up and kept the Portal stable.
• Zhao Gang congratulated Lin Mo, while Kael praised his achievement.
• News of the Portal reached the Tianshu Underground City Command Center, and Elder Zhao hurried to see it.
• Elder Zhao praised Lin Mo and said the Portal would enable transport between the Underground Cities, supply the Lunar Base, and support Great Xia’s expansion toward Mars and across the Solar System.

Lin Mo returned to Blue Star to build a Permanent Portal beneath the World Tree, following Elder Zhao’s plan to connect the Arctic and Antarctic Underground Cities. He arrived at the designated construction site and unloaded the materials, ready to begin building.

• Elder Zhao ordered the Ark Plan’s technical team to draft a Strategic Portal Deployment Plan, prioritizing links between the poles, the Lunar Base, cargo transport, and Mars colonization.
• Lin Mo thanked Kael, then asked Zhao Gang to help him collect Portal-building materials from the warehouse.
• Lin Mo transferred his consciousness back to his body in Tianshu Underground City and called Secretary Li to set off for the construction site.
• Secretary Li took Lin Mo to the surface beneath the World Tree, where a new settlement was rising and the leadership planned to build the Portal.
• Lin Mo approved the prepared square about four thousand meters from the World Tree and summoned crates of materials from his Spatial Ring.
