Chapter Summaries

Xu Shilun and Liu Dajun fought until both were exhausted, leaving the Ultra Civilization devastated and forcing Xu Shilun to retreat with the surviving Soul Clan. Su Mo lamented the losses, while Xu Shilun returned home and tightened his control over the Soul Clan.

• Xu Shilun and Liu Dajun exchanged devastating attacks until Xu Shilun fled rather than risk losing control of the Soul Clan.
• Xu Shilun absorbed and slaughtered Soul Clan members to heal himself, then forced the survivors to retreat as the exhausted Giants of Light stayed behind.
• Liu Dajun collapsed after the battle and ordered his people to rebuild the Plasma Spark Tower, develop technology, find Big Pineapple's fragments, and seek revenge.
• Su Mo realized that the battle had ruined the Ultra Civilization's planned advancement and used up a Lake of Pain, then wondered what Xu Shilun might bring him next.
• Two months later, fewer than sixty thousand Soul Clan members returned to their homeworld, where Xu Shilun forbade anyone from leaving and demanded one hundred thousand portions of soul liquid from Zhang Jiao.

Xu Shilun recovered from his injuries while the three civilizations dealt with the aftermath of his attack on the Ultra Civilization. As the Ultra Clan prepared to rebuild and retaliate, Wang Jianzhi worried that Asura could not defend against Xu Shilun and asked where Big Pineapple’s fragment was.

• Xu Shilun spent more than half a year recovering in Soul Liquid as people online condemned his brutal methods and his treatment of the Soul Clan.
• Xu Shilun reduced his daily demand to ten thousand portions of Soul Liquid, while the Soul Clan worked to build an ecosystem amid rising surface temperatures.
• The Ultra Civilization struggled to rebuild after losing three million people and much of its infrastructure, while its surviving members planned to reconstruct the Plasma Spark Tower and avenge their dead; Liu Dajun remained unconscious.
• Wang Jianzhi learned from his livestream’s comments that Xu Shilun had attacked the Ultra Civilization with Big Pineapple’s fragment and three hundred thousand Soul Clan members.
• Wang Jianzhi feared Xu Shilun might attack Asura next, asked where Big Pineapple’s fragment was, and struck the ground, making a nearby transparent palm fragment tremble.

Wang Jianzhi shifted the Asuras toward body tempering so they could survive the worsening heat and complete their ecosystem. Just as their home was ready, Xu Shilun’s spacefaring mosquitoes arrived and were mistaken for giant birds and food.

• Wang Jianzhi concluded that the Asuras should temper their bodies with the power of pain instead of following Big Pineapple’s soul-cultivation path, and ordered them to practice while working.
• Over the next year, the Asuras increased their workload, and several broke through to the First Stage as the heat grew more severe.
• Wang Jianzhi used stories about Big Pineapple to keep the Asuras going, while repeatedly correcting them when they mistook ordinary stones for Big Pineapple’s fragments.
• The First Stage Asuras worked quickly enough for the Asuras to finish their ecosystem a year and a half ahead of schedule.
• Xu Shilun’s mosquitoes reached Asura territory, where the Asuras treated them as giant birds and brought one to Wang Jianzhi as food.

Wang Jianzhi turned the giant mosquitoes into livestock and hunting prey, easing the Asura’s food crisis as their population of first-order transcendent fighters grew. Meanwhile, Xu Shilun remained stuck at the peak of the first stage while the Ultra Civilization repaired its Plasma Spark Tower, and he recalled a broken Ultraman statue head radiating pure evil.

• Wang Jianzhi ordered the Asura to capture and raise giant mosquitoes for food, and mosquito hunting became part of their livelihood.
• The Asura’s food shortage eased, and by the time Wang Jianzhi had been in the world for twenty-eight years, eight thousand Asura had reached the first-order transcendent level.
• Two years later, Xu Shilun was still unable to break through to the second stage, while the Ultra Civilization had repaired eighty percent of its Plasma Spark Tower and Liu Dajun had awakened.
• Wenhe suggested that transcendent power might arise from emotion, prompting Xu Shilun to remember the broken Ultraman statue head that emanated pure evil.
• Xu Shilun clenched his fist as he considered the terrifying evil he had sensed in the ruins.

Xu Shilun left the Soul Clan under orders not to leave the planet, split their souls, or die, then traveled to the ruins to confront the darkness inside a stone Ultra head. After the darkness nearly overwhelmed him, a mysterious horned figure appeared and Xu Shilun claimed to be an Ultra ally seeking help against Big Pineapple.

• Xu Shilun controlled the Soul Clan and forbade them from leaving the planet or splitting their souls while he was gone.
• After Xu Shilun left, Zhang Jiao gathered three hundred talented Soul Clan members and began rapidly strengthening them with soul liquid.
• Xu Shilun rode his giant spider to the ruins and found a broken stone Ultra head filled with destructive darkness.
• When Xu Shilun touched the statue, its malice flooded his consciousness and threatened to take control of him.
• A horned shadowy figure appeared and erased the darkness from Xu Shilun.
• Xu Shilun told the figure that he was a Soul Clan king and Ultra ally, falsely claiming that Big Pineapple had seized control of his people and that he needed help.

Xu Shilun persuaded the dark being Zoffy that he cared for his people and endured the darkness within a shattered Ultraman statue to gain its power. Zoffy gave him the power and asked him to take the Giant of Light to Liu Dajun, and Xu Shilun advanced to the second stage.

• Xu Shilun told the shadow that Big Pineapple had devastated the Ultra Civilization and enslaved the Soul Clan, while insisting that he wanted power to protect his people.
• Xu Shilun learned that the shadow was a technological Ultraman robot corrupted by the darkness and resentment of the previous Ultra Civilization.
• Xu Shilun praised Liu Dajun and the Ultra Civilization, but the shadow's dark mist began to fade as he spoke.
• Xu Shilun absorbed the darkness from the shattered Ultraman head despite the shadow's warnings, and Zoffy agreed to help him and asked him to deliver a message to Liu Dajun.
• Zoffy merged with Xu Shilun and suppressed the darkness into a source of power, then dissipated as Xu Shilun advanced to the second stage.

Xu Shilun was consumed by uncontrollable dark energy after Zoffy sacrificed himself to help him, and his livestream went black as he seemingly died. A year later, the Ultra Empire prepared to invade the Soul Clan during the solar storm, while the Asuras struggled to survive the rising heat.

• Xu Shilun's body swelled and burst as Zoffy's dark consciousness vanished, leaving the livestream black and viewers believing Xu Shilun had died.
• Liu Dajun heard the news three months later, suspected Dark Tiga was his brother-in-law Zoffy, and planned to visit the Soul Clan after the solar storm.
• The solar storm struck, and the Plasma Spark Tower absorbed its energy while the Ultra Civilization prepared to advance to the Third Stage and take revenge on the Soul Clan.
• Wang Jianzhi pushed the Asuras to train through extreme heat, warning that temperatures could reach five hundred degrees and that they had to become First-Order Transcendents to survive.
• The Soul Clan sheltered in deep-ocean biospheres as June arrived and the Plasma Spark Tower filled with energy.
• Liu Dajun assembled 108 members of the Three-Eyed Tribe to march to war.

Liu Dajun led the Ultra Civilization’s newly formed Giants of Light on an assault against the Soul Clan, both to avenge the fallen and to expend energy before the solar storm’s peak. After three days of bombardment, Xu Shilun remained missing, and Liu ordered the planet scanned while keeping his forces safely in space.

• Liu Dajun doubted that Xu Shilun was dead but ordered the Ultra Civilization to march against the Soul Clan.
• The Plasma Spark Tower enabled 108 members of the Three-Eyed Tribe to become individual Giants of Light, and Liu Dajun sent them off to avenge the Ultra People.
• After reaching the Soul Clan’s planet, the Giants of Light bombarded it with Ultra Beams for three days, devastating its land and seas.
• Liu Dajun saw no sign of Xu Shilun in the transmitted images and ordered a scan for survivors and for Xu Shilun, while forbidding his forces from entering the planet.

Liu Dajun’s forces discovered the Soul Clan hiding beneath the ocean, where waves of members begged the Ultra Brothers to kill them while dodging their attacks. The Soul Clan revealed that Xu Shilun had enslaved them and left them trapped under orders that would eventually doom their civilization, but his whereabouts remained unknown.

• Liu Dajun ordered the search for Xu Shilun to continue after scans detected the Soul Clan beneath the ocean but not their leader.
• Soul Clan members emerged in repeated waves and begged the Ultra Brothers to kill them, while Ace and the others attacked until the strange pattern made them stop.
• Liu Dajun ordered Seven to capture a Soul Clan member, but the captive died as soon as Seven crossed the planet’s atmosphere.
• The Soul Clan gathered at the edge of the atmosphere and told the Ultra Brothers they could not leave or control their own deaths.
• A Soul Clan member explained that Xu Shilun had left two years earlier after forbidding them to leave, reproduce, or die, leaving their civilization without a future.

The Ultra Brothers and Liu Dajun struggled to decide whether to kill the Soul Clan after learning how brutally Xu Shilun had controlled and exploited them. Liu Dajun let the Ultra People vote, and after the majority chose elimination, he ordered the Soul Clan destroyed.

• The Soul Clan begged the Ultra Brothers to kill them, and Ace killed over a thousand before Seven and Gaia stopped him.
• Ace argued that the Soul Clan had to pay for its crimes against the Ultra Empire, while Seven urged him to ask Liu Dajun for a decision.
• Liu Dajun and the livestream viewers debated the Soul Clan’s suffering against the need to avenge the Ultra People’s dead.
• Unable to give the order himself, Liu Dajun called a vote; the option to eliminate the Soul Clan won by 180,000 votes.
• Liu Dajun ordered the Soul Clan eliminated, and the 108 Ultra Brothers saluted and agreed.

After the Ultra Brothers destroyed the Soul Clan and its planet, Su Mo discovered that one Soul Clan survivor had escaped death by merging the clan’s consciousnesses and rebuilding a body. The survivor absorbed the remaining soul liquid, became the Soul Clan’s chosen one, and flew toward Asura seeking Big Pineapple fragments.

• The Ultra Brothers killed the Soul Clan and destroyed its planet, causing Su Mo’s Divine Rank to rise by only 0.02.

• The revived survivor became the Soul Clan’s chosen one and sole remaining aggregate of its thoughts, then flew toward Asura to seek Big Pineapple fragments.

Su Mo watched Xu Shilun's black mist and the Soul Clan chosen one grow stronger as the Ultra Brothers prepared to investigate the asteroid field. Meanwhile, a Soul Clan member disguised himself as Xu Shilun and headed for the Asura, intending to kill them, absorb their souls, and draw Big Pineapple into the conflict.

• The Soul Clan chosen one reached the peak of the first stage in twenty minutes, while Xu Shilun and the black mist fought and devoured each other across the asteroid field.
• Two years later, the Ultra Brothers reached the asteroid field, where Liu Dajun briefed them on the dangers and ordered them to kill Xu Shilun or Zoffy if necessary.
• The Asura endured the solar storm and reached the first stage across the board, despite nearly a hundred thousand deaths.
• A Soul Clan member changed his appearance to Xu Shilun's and set out to attack the Asura, absorb their souls, and find Big Pineapple's fragments.

Su Mo assessed the three civilizations and decided to give the Ultra Civilization new challenges after allowing a few more decades of development. Meanwhile, the Ultra Brothers defeated Dark Tiga but failed to find Xu Shilun, who survived and discovered he could create dark Ultra People and Soul Clan members.

• Su Mo judged that the Ultra Civilization risked becoming too dominant, so he planned to strengthen the mosquitoes and introduce monsters after giving the civilizations a few more decades.
• Xu Shilun hid when the Ultra Brothers entered the meteor field, and Dark Tiga appeared to fight them.

Zhang Jiao settled on the Asura planet, searched for Big Pineapple’s fragments, and used the Asuras to grow stronger while keeping Wang Jianzhi alive. After finding three fragments, he hid two on a remote planet, failed to refine the last one, and returned as Wang Jianzhi was finally taken down from the mountain.

• Zhang Jiao flew to a remote planet, hid two fragments, discovered he could not refine the remaining fragment, and kept one fragment for escape before returning.
• On the day Zhang Jiao left, the Asuras took Wang Jianzhi down from the mountain, and he could barely stand.

After months of torment, Wang Jianzhi entered the second stage through fury and broke free from his prison, then fought Zhang Jiao as his power continued to grow. Su Mo received a notification that a new transcendent power system had appeared and returned to the Microcosm to investigate.

• Wang Jianzhi unleashed Asura’s Wrath, empowering the Asuras and summoning eight second-stage flame giants, so Zhang Jiao fled into space.
