Chapter Summaries

Lin Mo and fifteen Seventh-Order Experts arrived in time to reinforce Tianxiong City, turning the battle against the Demon Clan and helping Great Xia launch a counterattack. Demon God Cho'Gath learned of the reinforcements and decided the Demon Clan would spread across the planet and try to outlast its enemies.

• Lin Shigong and Zhou Shan watched Lin Mo and the fifteen Seventh-Order Experts arrive, then ordered Tianxiong City's defenders to counterattack.
• Lin Mo told the frontline soldiers to leave the rest to the reinforcements, as Great Xia's forces and the Terra Allied Army fought side by side and drove back the demons.
• A Seventh-Order Demon Venerable fled Tianxiong City after sensing the reinforcements and reported their arrival to Cho'Gath.
• Cho'Gath recognized that the war had become more difficult, but decided the Demon Clan would spread across the planet and outlast its opponents.

Tianyong City’s dome collapsed under the Burrowing Earth Dragons, and Chen Jianguo feared the Demon Clan would overrun the city before its defenders could hold out. After Lin Shigong reported that Lin Mo had arrived in Tianxiong City with reinforcements from Terra, Lin Mo learned of Tianyong’s danger and prepared to respond.

• Chen Jianguo learned that breaches across Tianyong City were letting the Demon Clan pour in and that the city might fall within half an hour.
• Chen Jianguo contacted Lin Shigong, who told him Lin Mo had arrived in Tianxiong City with reinforcements and that Tianxiong had stabilized.
• Chen Jianguo ordered Tianyong’s forces to abandon their fighting retreat and defend the city at any cost.
• Lin Shigong told Lin Mo that Tianyong’s dome was collapsing and that Chen Jianguo might detonate the Nuclear Bomb if the city could not hold.
• Lin Mo told Fendona, Thorin Ironbeard, and Grom that Tianyong City was in danger as they stood ready for his orders.

Lin Mo opened a portal to Tianyong City and led Terra’s reinforcements into the besieged underground city. They turned the battle around and trapped the demons, leaving the defenders with the chance to reclaim the front lines.

• Lin Mo asked Kael to bring Holy Human Race masters and gathered seventh-order Elves and Half-Orcs, while Yadis stayed behind with the other experts.
• Lin Mo opened a portal to Tianyong City, where demons were overwhelming the robots and approaching the entrance to the city’s core area.
• Holy Human Race Element Walkers emerged through the portal and struck a sixth-rank demon with holy light.
• Two Elf elders raised rubble and metal into spikes, while the Half-Orcs, Kael, and Thorin helped trap and attack the demons.
• Terra’s reinforcements pressed the demons from all sides as Thorin charged through their ranks with his warhammer.

Lin Mo arrived in Tianyong City as Terra's forces and the Unmanned Legion turned back the Demon Clan assault, then reassured the city's commanders that they would no longer face the war alone. After reporting the city's situation to Han Niba, Lin Mo asked about the overall state of Blue Star, and Han Niba's grave expression left the wider crisis unresolved.

• Grom's Centaur squad, Fendona, Terra's Experts, and Great Xia's Unmanned Legion drove back the Demon Clan in Tianyong City, while an Elven Elder temporarily sealed the dome breaches.
• Lin Mo left the battlefield and went to the Command Center, where Chen Jianguo, Li Chousha, and the staff saluted him with emotion.
• Lin Mo thanked the Command Center personnel and promised Chen Jianguo that no one would ever need to press the command console's covered button again.
• An Information Officer connected the Command Center to Han Niba at Celestial Pivot City, and Lin Mo reported that Tianyong City was stabilized.
• Lin Mo asked Han Niba about Blue Star's overall situation, and Han Niba's expression darkened.

Han Niba revealed that the Demon Clan had opened at least fifty-three wormholes across Blue Star, forcing Great Xia to rethink its war strategy. Lin Mo agreed to have the Terra Allied Army hold off the Demon God while Great Xia fought the Demon Clan Army with robots, then requested an Antimatter Bomb and a five-hundred-kiloton nuclear bomb.

• Han Niba showed Lin Mo and Chen Jianguo a map of fifty-three confirmed Demon Clan wormholes, with more suspected across Blue Star.
• Han Niba asked Lin Mo to have Terra's high-order fighters occupy the Demon God, and Lin Mo agreed.
• Han Niba proposed using unmanned forces against the Demon Clan Army and explained that Great Xia would recycle Demon Clan corpses into military materials as its technology advanced.
• Lin Mo agreed to the plan and asked Han Niba to reserve an Antimatter Bomb and a five-hundred-kiloton nuclear bomb.
• Han Niba asked Lin Mo what he intended to do with the bombs.

Lin Mo arranged to test delivering a nuclear bomb through a portal and discussed how humanity would use antimatter bombs against Demon God Cho'Gath. He received both bombs and a remote-control terminal in Tianyong City, preparing to act while the wider battle plan remained in place.

• Lin Mo proposed sending a nuclear bomb through a portal to test whether he could detonate it near Demon God Cho'Gath, and Han Niba agreed to arrange the test.
• Han Niba told Lin Mo that Cho'Gath had twice turned away from underground cities as antimatter bombs approached, suggesting the Demon God could sense danger and avoid them.
• Han Niba outlined a plan to use antimatter bombs as deterrents, preserve spatial-ring attacks as a trump card, and decide later whether to sacrifice an underground city depending on Terra's reinforcements.
• Han Niba said the fourth antimatter bomb would be finished in a few days, while Lin Mo thanked him and ended the call.
• Lin Mo left Tianyong City's work to Chen Jianguo, who promised to reinforce the sealed dome structure, and went to await the bomb delivery.
• A lieutenant colonel delivered an antimatter bomb and a five-hundred-kiloton nuclear bomb to Lin Mo, along with a biometric-locked remote terminal configured to detonate them.

After stabilizing Tianyong City, Lin Mo returned to Tianxiong City with Terra’s experts and prepared to lead the next push to the surface. The Demon God Cho'Gath remained unaccounted for, and the group set out to continue the fight.

• Lin Mo stored the Antimatter Bomb and Nuclear Bomb in his Spatial Ring as soldiers withdrew through the portal.
• Lin Mo met Thorin, Grom, Kael, and Fendona, who reported that Tianyong City was secure and warned him that the Demon Clan’s numbers and persistence remained dangerous.
• The Seventh-Order Element Walkers returned, and Lin Mo opened a portal so the group could travel to Tianxiong City.
• Lin Mo told Tianxiong City’s command staff that Tianyong City had stabilized, then ordered them to prepare to go to the surface and report any sign of Cho'Gath.
• Thorin urged the group to leave, and Yadis complained that Tianxiong City was too cramped and asked when they could finally go outside.

Lin Mo and Terra’s Seventh-Order Experts reached the devastated Antarctic surface and found the World Tree that Demon God Cho'Gath had blasted apart. Elder Ede sensed that its roots were still barely alive and said energy crystals could save it if they acted quickly.

• Lin Mo opened a portal from the Underground City, and the experts and dragons passed through to the surface.
• Elder Ede sensed trouble and led the group toward it, while a metal Elder formed a flying boat from battlefield wreckage to carry those who could not fly.
• The group found the World Tree shattered beside destroyed human defenses and Cho'Gath's enormous footprints.
• Fendona grieved over the fallen tree, and Elder Ede found that its broken trunk could no longer sustain its life cycle.
• Elder Ede sensed that the World Tree's roots remained weakly alive and said energy crystals could replenish them if they acted quickly.

Lin Mo discovered that Cho'Gath had broken the World Tree and tried to restore it by supplying Energy Crystals and restarting its reactors. As the group prepared to drive the Demon Clan from Antarctica, the experts sensed something beneath the ice.

• Lin Mo fed Energy Crystals to the World Tree while Chen Jianguo explained that Cho'Gath had snapped its trunk and that the nine Life Fruits had been saved.
• Elder Ede warned Lin Mo that the mature, badly injured World Tree needed far more energy than the crystals could provide, so Lin Mo ordered Chen Jianguo to restart its reactors.
• Lin Mo vowed with Fendona and the experts to drive the Demon Clan out of Antarctica, and Chen Jianguo confirmed that the reactors were running again.
• The experts sensed something unusual beneath the ice, and Lin Mo asked whether demons had approached underground.

Lin Mo explained that Great Xia had used four nuclear reactors to grow the World Tree without energy crystals, leaving the Terra experts stunned. A Holy Human Race Element Walker rejected his explanation and insisted that a World Tree required a large mineral vein.

• Elder Ede sensed powerful, growing energy beneath the ice, and Lin Mo told him it came from the reactor supplying the World Tree.
• Lin Mo explained that the World Tree could absorb energy from nuclear reactors, which had grown it to over two thousand meters and produced nine Life Fruits in a few months.
• Ede realized Great Xia had no need for energy crystals and asked how much a reactor cost; Lin Mo compared its fuel use to a tiny fraction of what a large energy crystal vein supplied.
• Lin Mo said the four reactors could run for over fifty years and that the nine fruits would ripen into World Tree Seeds in two or three months.
• A Seventh Order Element Walker of the Holy Human Race protested that a World Tree required a large mineral vein and doubted that the reactors could provide enough energy.

Lin Mo explained that nuclear reactors could power world trees without energy crystal veins, prompting the races of Terra to consider growing their own. A Seventh Order Dragon revealed that world trees produced magic elements, and Lin Mo began wondering whether those elements shaped the races’ magical abilities.

• Lin Mo pointed to the fallen world tree as proof of how quickly the seed Great Xia had bought had grown, and Elder Ede eagerly asked to buy the technology.
• A Seventh Order member of the Holy Human Race asked whether nuclear reactors could let other races grow world trees, and Lin Mo said any race could do so with enough power.
• The Half-Orcs, Dwarves, Holy Human Race, and Dragons showed interest in the prospect of having world trees of their own.
• The largest Seventh Order Dragon explained that world trees released magic elements, making magic cultivation around them several times faster.
• Lin Mo asked whether the races’ supernatural talents depended on magic elements and proposed that generations of exposure to world trees might explain the Elves’ innate magical affinity.

Lin Mo and the Terra experts realized that World Trees might reshape their races, while Lin Mo wondered whether planting them across Blue Star could give humans magic. After the World Tree stump began sprouting again, Lin Mo rallied the experts to face the Demon Clan together and reported the tree’s recovery to Chen Jianguo.

• An Elf Elder warned Lin Mo that World Trees and Elves were more complicated than he assumed, while Warwick, Kael, and Thorin considered how magical talents could strengthen their races.
• Lin Mo wondered whether covering Blue Star in World Trees could let humans learn magic, but decided to study the possibility later with Academician Qian and Academician Liu.
• Fendona noticed new buds growing from the World Tree stump, and Ede confirmed that the nuclear reactors’ energy was restoring it.
• Lin Mo urged the Terra experts to stay together, avoid being picked off by Demon God Cho'Gath, and attack the Demon Army as a united force.
• Warwick, Kael, and Ede agreed to follow Lin Mo’s command, and Lin Mo contacted Chen Jianguo to report that the World Tree had begun sprouting.

Lin Mo brought the Terra Allied Army to reinforce the Third Unmanned Mechanized Legion, which was struggling against a vast demon force in Antarctica. The allies launched their attack, and a seventh-order element walker unleashed the forbidden spell Divine Grace Descends on the demon tide.

• Chen Jianguo told Lin Mo that the reactor was recovering and reported that the Third Unmanned Mechanized Legion was fighting over five hundred thousand demons northwest of their position.
• Lin Mo took Kael, Thorin, Grom, and the others aboard the metal elves’ flying boat toward the battlefield, escorted by seventh-order dragons and experts.
• Lin Mo saw the Third Legion’s defensive lines running low on ammunition as they fought the enormous demon tide.
• Warwick declared it was time to act, and Lin Mo ordered the Terra Allied Army to attack.
• The three seventh-order dragons charged the demons, while fifteen domains spread across the battlefield and sent the lower-order demons fleeing.
• A seventh-order Holy Human Race element walker cast the forbidden spell Divine Grace Descends, raining holy pillars of light that disintegrated demons across the battlefield.

Lin Mo and the Terra Allied Army crushed several Demon Clan armies alongside Great Xia’s unmanned forces, hoping to provoke the Demon God into appearing. They reached a fourth battlefield, where nearly 250,000 demons and at least thirty Sixth-Rank commanders awaited them.

• The Seventh-Order Experts killed all three Sixth-Rank commanders on the Antarctica battlefield, allowing the allied forces to rout the demon tide.
• Lin Mo ordered the experts to stop pursuing fleeing demons, explaining that their goal was to disrupt the Demon God’s plans and force it to respond.
• The allied army swiftly defeated the Demon Clan forces outside Tianxiong City, then crushed another army despite its dispersed formation; a Seventh-Order Demon Venerable escaped underground.
• Lin Mo left cleanup to the local Unmanned Legions as Terra’s experts and Great Xia’s mechanical forces coordinated their advance to the next target.
• The allied army arrived at the day’s largest battlefield, where nearly 250,000 Demon Clan troops and at least thirty Sixth-Rank commanders were gathered.

Lin Mo and fifteen Seventh-Order Experts confronted the Demon God Cho'Gath on the icefield to keep him from attacking Great Xia's Underground Cities. Cho'Gath's mental-power shield withstood their combined assaults, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Cho'Gath emerged from beneath the ice and crushed the battlefield with his domain, prompting the fifteen Seventh-Order Experts to combine their domains against him.
• Cho'Gath identified the group as reinforcements from another planet and faced their preparations without retreating.
• Warwick charged Cho'Gath but was hurled back by an invisible shield, while three Holy Human Race Element Walkers' Forbidden Spells barely rippled its surface.
• Lin Mo's plan was to test Cho'Gath's defenses, gather combat data, wear down his shield, and keep him occupied while Great Xia's Underground Cities remained safer.
• The fifteen Seventh-Order Experts attacked Cho'Gath from every direction, but even the Dwarf's Legendary Warhammer only made his shield tremble before it became still again.

Lin Mo and his companions monitored the battle against Demon God Cho'Gath and concluded that the Seventh-Order Experts could not wear down his shield before they ran out of strength. Lin Mo ordered Plan B, preparing to deliver an Antimatter Bomb through a Portal while the fighters held Cho'Gath in place, and began casting Teleportation Magic as the battle shifted into position.

• Lin Mo's drones and the supercomputer estimated that breaking Cho'Gath's shield would take more than seventy-two hours, with Holy Light proving more effective than other attacks.
• After the experts' attacks failed to weaken Cho'Gath quickly enough, Lin Mo received confirmation that they would exhaust themselves first.
• Lin Mo ordered the fifteen Seventh-Order Experts to execute Plan B and trap Cho'Gath for three seconds so he could deliver and detonate the Antimatter Bomb.
• The experts repositioned: the Holy Human and Elf spellcasters prepared restraints while the melee fighters moved in to keep Cho'Gath from escaping.
• Kael warned Lin Mo that he had only one chance, and Lin Mo began chanting Teleportation Magic before the restraints were ready.

Warwick, the other Seventh-Order Experts, and the mages restrained Cho'Gath long enough for Grom to throw an Antimatter Bomb through a portal. Lin Mo detonated it, swallowing Cho'Gath in white light and sending a devastating shock wave through the battlefield.

• Warwick and the other melee fighters attacked Cho'Gath while the mages completed their forbidden spells.
• The Holy Human Race Element Walkers and Elf Elders bound Cho'Gath with holy chains, metal, ice pillars, and roots, slowing him long enough for the melee fighters to retreat.
• Grom threw the Antimatter Bomb through a portal toward Cho'Gath, who struggled desperately to escape its blast radius.
• Lin Mo closed the portal and detonated the Antimatter Bomb after the last Seventh-Order Dragon cleared the epicenter.
• The blast engulfed Cho'Gath and sent a shock wave through the retreating fighters, while Lin Mo and the others remained about four kilometers from the explosion.

Lin Mo, Fendona, Kael, Thorin, Grom, and the others tried to endure the Antimatter Bomb’s shock wave behind barriers while protecting their teleportation array. In Tianyong City’s Command Center, the blast devastated the battlefield, and the signals for Lin Mo’s party and all fifteen Seventh-Order Experts disappeared.

• Kael opened a short-range portal as Fendona, Lin Mo, Thorin, and the others prepared barriers and fortifications against the approaching shock wave.
• The Antimatter Bomb’s shock wave swept over Lin Mo’s group, breaking their barriers in seconds as they shielded the teleportation array.
• The blast erased the ice around ground zero, wiped out tens of thousands of demons, and damaged the Great Xia Third Drone Mechanized Legion.
• Chen Jianguo watched the satellite feed as the explosion formed a crater nearly four kilometers wide and left the core zone obscured by heat and steam.
• The Life Target List turned all fifteen Seventh-Order Experts’ markers gray, and the signals from Lin Mo and the others were lost.

After the Antimatter Bomb obliterated the battlefield, Chen Jianguo ordered an urgent search for Lin Mo and the Demon God Cho'Gath, whose fates remained unknown. Lin Mo, Fendona, and their companions escaped through a failing portal, leaving them battered and Kael unconscious as the portal collapsed behind them.

• Chen Jianguo ordered satellites, drones, surviving Third Legion units, and supercomputers to search the blast zone for Lin Mo and Cho'Gath.
• Search teams found no clear signs of Lin Mo's group, the Demon God, or the other combatants amid the storm and interference.
• A technician detected a wristwatch terminal signal near the battlefield, and Chen Jianguo ordered an incoming satellite communication connected.
• Thorin Ironbeard, Lin Mo, Fendona, and several attendants tumbled out of a deep-blue portal a dozen kilometers from the blast center.
• Grom emerged last carrying the unconscious Kael, whose magic had nearly run dry keeping the portal open.
• The portal collapsed moments after the group escaped, narrowly sparing the last evacuees from the storm.

After surviving the Antimatter Bomb’s blast, Lin Mo and the others treated their injuries and learned that the Demon God and the fifteen Seventh-Order Experts were still unaccounted for. With communications badly disrupted and search operations underway, Thorin asked Lin Mo what they should do next.

• Lin Mo and Fendona survived the explosion but suffered injuries and severe exhaustion, while Kael remained unconscious.
• Lin Mo used healing scrolls to treat Kael and the others, and Fendona said Kael needed rest to recover.
• Lin Mo contacted Tianyong City Command Center and learned that the blast had destroyed surveillance drones and most of the Third Unmanned Legion.
• Chen Jianguo reported that the Demon God’s fate and the fifteen Seventh-Order Experts’ status were unknown, while surviving units searched the battlefield.
• Lin Mo told Chen Jianguo to keep searching because no one would be safe if the Demon God survived, then told Fendona that its fate was uncertain.
• Thorin asked Lin Mo what they should do next.
