• Kaguya showed Toyotomi Yinglang a star chart of the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s Life Planets, where no Ōtsutsuki remained.
• Toyotomi Yinglang said he would grant the planets supernatural power so their inhabitants would compete for strength and status, then recruit the winners into the Heavenly Court and Underworld.

The mission was set to begin in batches under Kaguya’s lead, while Nagato left wondering whether they would ever learn the truth and come to hate Yinglang.

• Toyotomi Yinglang ordered the group to travel through the stars, spread supernatural power, and guide extraterrestrial beings to worship gods of the Heavenly Court and Underworld.
• Nagato and Sasori asked about whom the beings should worship and whether new recruits could steal faith power, and Yinglang said the missionaries could hold divine positions while the realms’ core systems controlled all faith.

Nagato led the Empire’s first expedition to Planet No. 1, where he and his companions built a base and brought a primitive tribe under imperial influence through healing, farming, and chakra cultivation. With the first stage complete, Nagato planned to establish a nation and recruit its strongest cultivators into divine positions.

• Toyotomi Yinglang sent Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, Yutian, Kushina, Liuli, and Sasori through the Void Gate to Planet No. 1, with Kaguya guiding the expedition.

• Sasori and Yutian developed the Mechanical God Cult’s approach of combining science with theology, while Nagato agreed to teach the tribe practical skills before chakra cultivation.
• Two months later, the tribe had moved into the expanded base, learned imperial crafts and language, and begun cultivating chakra seeds; Nagato declared the first step complete and planned to establish a nation.

Sasori explained how the Mechanical God Cult would present the Empire’s gene serum as “God’s Blessing” and chakra training as “Divine Grace” to win the tribespeople’s faith. Nagato accepted that faith could become a rule binding the growing settlement to the Empire, while the tribespeople returned to the base believing its inhabitants were God’s messengers.

• Sasori explained that A Mu’s transformation would attract more people, and Yahiko asked whether the base could house them.

• Toyotomi Yinglang outlined four requirements for an invincible fighter: an extraordinary body, destructive power, mastery of at least two colors of Yin Release, and pinnacle eye power.
