• Zhang Shengfeng unleashed Tai’a Obliteration Strike against the Noseless Mech.

Zhang Shengfeng’s Tai'a Mech pressed its attack against the Noseless Mech, while Li Yi’s squad defeated three Silver Mechs and flew toward the Central Axis for a new mission. Meanwhile, He Qiongying infiltrated the Aliens’ command starship and passed its soul verification using an identity code supplied by an inside contact.

• Zhang Shengfeng spread the Annihilation Form of the Tai'a Obliteration Strike, but the Noseless Mech stayed just beyond its range, forcing him to close the distance.
• Li Yi and Chen Qiong Zhi killed the strongest Silver Mech, then helped Mu Tianlei and Lin Wendong defeat the other two.
• Li Yi ordered the squad to send the Silver Mech wreckage to the human rear lines and fly to the Central Axis to await a new mission signal.
• He Qiongying entered the Aliens’ command starship passage and gave the identity code provided by the Silver expert inside contact.
• The soul verification device accepted He Qiongying as Muliashi, commander of the Third Starship’s A-Class Mech Corps, and allowed her to pass.

Wuzhibo inspected Starborn Golden Experts for a mole while He Qiongying entered the command cabin to assassinate Heng Qiao. There, the apparent target revealed himself as the human agent Qiao Dawen and said her bomb was essential to the operation’s fifth stage.

• Wuzhibo told Heng Xiulong that his special ability could detect hidden traits in genes and souls as he continued checking the Starborn for a mole.
• Heng Xiulong pressed Wuzhibo to hurry because the Starborn Forefather was due to arrive in two minutes.
• He Qiongying entered the command cabin carrying a High-Energy Gene Bomb intended to kill Heng Qiao and disrupt the starship’s control of the Divine Mech legions.
• The brain-like commander recognized He Qiongying, and an invisible force pinned the bomb to her palm before she could throw it.
• Qiao Dawen revealed that he was a human disguised as a Starborn Silver and said He Qiongying’s bomb was key to the operation’s fifth stage.
• He Qiongying began to channel Divinity energy toward detonating the bomb, but Qiao Dawen asked her to listen for thirty seconds.

He Qiongying gave Qiao Dawen the High-Energy Gene Bomb so he could alter the plan to stop the Starborn Forefather, while Zhang Shengfeng fought the Noseless Mech on Earth and tried to buy time for the operation. The chapter ended with the Noseless Mech overwhelming Zhang Shengfeng and shattering the Tai'a Mech’s chest armor.

• Qiao Dawen warned He Qiongying that the Starborn Forefather controlled the biological starship and that the original plan would likely fail.
• He Qiongying gave Qiao Dawen the High-Energy Gene Bomb, and he asked her to tell Chief Lin to care for his children.

• Zhang Shengfeng used the Tai'a Void-Severing Strike to cut a large gash into the Noseless Mech, which quickly regenerated.
• The Noseless Mech unleashed information-overload-type Divinity Energy and punched the Tai'a Mech, shattering its chest armor.

Wuzhibo and Tengzhibo accused each other of being the mole until the Starborn Forefather arrived and ordered both to leave their pods for inspection. Qiao Dawen used the chaos to attack Wuzhibo with a High-Energy Gene Bomb, and Li Yi then sent the assault regiment charging into the Aliens’ rear.

• Wuzhibo demanded that Tengzhibo submit to inspection, while Tengzhibo accused Wuzhibo of being the mole.
• The Starborn Forefather arrived with overwhelming soul pressure and ordered Wuzhibo and Tengzhibo to exit their Insertion Pods for a joint inspection.
• Qiao Dawen shattered the command cabin window and hurled a High-Energy Gene Bomb at Wuzhibo, killing them both in the resulting explosion.
• Li Yi ordered the twenty-nine-mech assault regiment to charge into the heart of the Aliens’ rear formation.

Li Yi’s forces overwhelmed the Starborn on the Central Axis after the command starship’s control system was destroyed, and Heng Xiulong ordered a retreat. Li Yi received new orders to intercept the withdrawing Starborn while sparing the Slaughter Clan, and led his team into the mission.

• Li Yi’s mech squad and Lin Jianlong’s Supreme Experts joined the Central Axis battle, shattered the Alien formations, and drove their B-class mechs toward the stargate.
• He Qiongying witnessed Qiao Dawen’s attack and Wuzhibo’s disappearance in the High-Energy Gene Bomb blast, while Heng Xiulong realized Heng Qiao had betrayed the Starborn command starship.
• Heng Xiulong declared the battle lost and proposed retreating to the Starborn heartland; Tengzhibo and the other Golden Experts agreed and ordered a final strike before withdrawing.
• Li Yi received He Guangzhi’s orders to intercept retreating Starborn legions while letting the Slaughter Clan forces go.
• Li Yi confirmed the orders with Chen Qiong Zhi and Mu Tianlei, then told his team to charge and complete the mission safely.

The Starborn Golden Experts unleashed wide-area ultimate techniques to obstruct the human advance and help their forces retreat. Lin Jianlong insisted the humans should answer with their own ultimate techniques and prevent the Starborn from escaping.

• Tengzhibo, Mozhibo, and Heng Xiulong agreed to combine their area-wide trump cards while the other Golden Experts attacked from range.
• Tengzhibo covered the battlefield with vines that spread across the mechs and restricted their movement.
• Mozhibo petrified the vines, strengthening their grip on divinity and forcing weaker pilots from their Divine Mechs.
• Heng Xiulong fired sword lights that produced blinding flashes, while the Starborn's other experts unleashed area attacks to disrupt the human charge.
• Duanmu Xiong realized the interception would likely fail, but Lin Jianlong called for the humans to use their own ultimate techniques to break through.

Li Yi and the Central Axis forces cleared the Alien mechs trapped in the petrified vines while the human S-class mechs pursued the fleeing Starborn. After resting, Li Yi met He Guangzhi, who warned that the apparent victory might worsen the war, then revealed that Zhang Shengfeng was suspected to have fallen.

• Li Yi and the others fought to destroy the Alien mechs caught in the petrified vines as many others escaped.
• Four S-class mechs fired fused Divinity Energy Cannons through the vines, and the human S-class mechs pursued the Starborn using the Tianzhou Mech's Chronos Divinity.
• Li Yi and the others discussed the possibility of provoking an internal Alien war and replacing the Starborn as a Silver race.
• The humans cleared the petrified vine region, destroyed the vines, and returned to their starship while capital ships arrived to collect spoils.
• He Guangzhi summoned Li Yi to the command deck and warned that the human victory might intensify the war.
• He Guangzhi received a notification and told Li Yi that Zhang Shengfeng was suspected to have fallen.

Li Yi learned that Zhang Shengfeng had disappeared after a devastating battle with an SS-Class Mech, while He Guangzhi suspected the Starborn Forefather might still have hidden contingencies. He Guangzhi then explained how Qiao Dawen infiltrated the Starborn and helped restore communication, leaving Li Yi asking what had motivated Qiao Dawen’s sacrifice.

• He Guangzhi told Li Yi that Zhang Shengfeng’s Tai'a Mech had been badly damaged and that Zhang might have been killed or captured by an SS-Class pilot.
• He Guangzhi explained Mech Immortality and said that Chief Lin was the only human known to have mastered it.
• He Guangzhi said Old Tan and Old Zhao had returned to Earth to guard against the SS-Class expert, while he worried the Starborn Forefather might still have other contingencies.
• He Guangzhi revealed that Qiao Dawen had infiltrated the Starborn high command and helped reestablish contact using Quantum Communication components hidden in the drifting legion.
• He Guangzhi explained that Qiao Dawen had repeatedly altered his genes and become a command brain of the Aliens’ biological starships, and Li Yi asked whether hatred had driven him.

He Guangzhi recounted how humanity’s counterattack against the Starborn unfolded, and Li Yi questioned whether Qiao Dawen had tricked Wuzhibo into leaving the command ship. As He Guangzhi insisted that they had missed something, Li Yi found a file on Starborn origins authored by Tengzhibo.

• He Guangzhi explained how Qiao Dawen and Qiongying used the High-Energy Gene Bomb to kill Wuzhibo and disrupt the Starborn command system.
• Li Yi asked why Wuzhibo had left the ship, and He Guangzhi said the Starborn Forefather’s soul voice had ordered him and Tengzhibo to undergo an inspection.
• Li Yi suggested Qiao Dawen might have imitated the Forefather’s soul pressure to lure Wuzhibo out, but He Guangzhi considered it unlikely.
• Li Yi argued that humanity had simply won and that the remaining concerns were the SS-Class individual on Earth and the Starborn’s surviving core forces.
• He Guangzhi urged Li Yi to examine the intelligence files, and Li Yi found an examination of Starborn origins authored by Tengzhibo.

Li Yi read Wuzhibo’s detailed account of the Starborn’s origins and suspected that its author had learned the truth directly from the Gourd Men. After examining when Qiao Dawen sent the document, Li Yi concluded that it had helped identify Wuzhibo as the key to defeating the Starborn Forefather, possibly revealing a clash between opposing Revivers.

• Li Yi read the Starborn origins document and learned that the Starborn descended from scorching stellar lifeforms whose intelligence and reproduction had been introduced by a God of Genesis.
• Li Yi connected the Starborn’s similarities to humans and the document’s references to Wisdom factors with the Gourd Men’s experiments, and judged the account unusually credible and detailed.
• Li Yi asked He Guangzhi how he had obtained the document, and He Guangzhi explained that Qiao Dawen had sent it as secret Starborn material during the war.
• Li Yi compared the document’s transmission time with the battle and proposed that Wuzhibo had met the God of Genesis and might have had another Reviver’s support.
• Li Yi reasoned that Qiao Dawen had only recently inferred the Starborn Forefather was hidden behind Wuzhibo, and that the document had revealed Wuzhibo’s importance to victory.

Li Yi and He Guangzhi reconstructed Qiao Dawen’s discoveries and concluded that the ancient God of Genesis and the current Starborn Forefather were different figures. Just as they pieced together how the Forefather had taken over Wuzhibo’s body, Earth reported an SS-Class Mech in battle and requested reinforcements.

• Li Yi pointed out that Qiao Dawen had prioritized Starborn history, ruins, lineage, and origins, suggesting he believed their secrets held the key to victory.
• Li Yi and He Guangzhi examined Wuzhibo’s reverent account of the God of Genesis and considered whether Wuzhibo had encountered that figure.
• Li Yi argued that the Starborn Forefather could not have survived from three hundred thousand years ago and was likely distinct from the Gourd Man.
• He Guangzhi inferred that the current Forefather had taken over Wuzhibo’s body, while the God of Genesis had once suppressed the Starborn’s original body.
• A message from Earth reported SS-Class Mech traces in battle and requested reinforcements.

After learning that an SS-Class enemy threatened Earth, He Guangzhi and Li Yi led sixty mid-to-high Heavenly Rank experts back through the Star Gate. Li Yi studied the strange spacetime forces during transit, and the team reached the node leading to Earth's Star Gate.

• He Guangzhi and Li Yi assembled sixty experts to reinforce Earth while the others stayed behind to guard Frontier Star.
• He Guangzhi led the mech force toward the human Star Gate, and the group entered it after the starship accelerated toward the gate.
• Li Yi piloted the Gaia Mech through the Star Gate and used Spatial Divinity and microscopic perception to study its spacetime forces.
• He Guangzhi warned the team to follow closely through the branching transition passages and explained that getting lost could strand them or expose them to spacetime turbulence.
• The mechs traveled through the passage for more than ten minutes and approached Earth's Star Gate node, where He Guangzhi told newcomers to record its coordinates.

Li Yi joined He Guangzhi’s force of sixty Divine Mechs as they went to South America to confront the powerful SS-Class Noseless Mech. When the Noseless Mech fled the encirclement, it headed directly toward Li Yi’s group of five, setting up their interception.

• Li Yi reflected on his new insight into spacetime and considered how it might help him study the Inheritance Ruins.
• He Guangzhi briefed the sixty mech pilots on the Noseless Mech and ordered most of them to provide support while the force approached in concealment.
• Li Yi arrived in the Andes and saw Zhao He, Zhao Menghao, and Tan Yaozu struggling to contain the Noseless Mech.
• He Guangzhi’s Thunder King Mech struck the Noseless Mech with a concentrated divine compression palm, but it remained unharmed.
• The Noseless Mech broke away from the battle, and its chosen escape route led toward Li Yi’s group of five mechs.

Li Yi and the Gaia Mech fought the Noseless Mech while humanity’s forces tried to surround it. After the Noseless Mech unleashed a devastating shockwave and escaped, He Guangzhi ordered the mechs to pursue it.

• The Noseless Mech struck the Gaia Mech, but Li Yi used Fluid Force to absorb the impact and gauge its strength.
• Li Yi intercepted the Noseless Mech’s escape route after spotting marks that suggested Zhang Shengfeng was imprisoned inside it.
• The Noseless Mech unleashed a massive Divinity explosion that devastated a mountain range and temporarily scattered the pursuing mechs.
• The Noseless Mech fled through the dust, and He Guangzhi ordered the forces to chase it, with the Fire Drake, Thunder King, Coordination, and Gaia Mechs pursuing.

The Moon Fortress and Gaia Mech bombarded the fleeing Noseless Mech, forcing the Reviver to change course and allowing the Divine Mechs to close in. Realizing escape was unlikely, the Reviver decided to attack the experts he believed had predicted his movements.

• Li Yi told He Guangzhi that Zhang Shengfeng was sealed inside the Noseless Mech, and He Guangzhi adjusted the pursuit to avoid harming him.
• The Moon Fortress fired a massive barrage of Divinity Energy Cannons, forcing the Noseless Mech to turn away from its interception net.
• The Gaia Mech fired charged shots from the ozone layer, and additional cannon blasts struck the Noseless Mech as it faltered.
• Dozens of Divine Mechs converged on the Noseless Mech after the barrage gave them time to close in.
• The Reviver decided to attack the experts he suspected of predicting his movements and charged toward He Guangzhi's Thunder Fury Mech.

The Noseless Mech unleashed Grand Abyssal Hell, isolating He Guangzhi’s Thunder King Mech from the other attackers. He Guangzhi and the Gaia Mech briefly breached the Noseless Mech’s defenses, but the enraged reviver counterattacked, leaving He Guangzhi under mounting pressure.

• The Noseless Mech unleashed Grand Abyssal Hell, using ghostly mech phantoms to block the attacking mechs and blunt their abilities.
• Mu Tianlei, Zhao Menghao, Lin Wendong, Chen Qiong Zhi, Tan Yaozu, and Zhao He attacked or tried to break through the phantoms, but they failed to reach the Noseless Mech.
• He Guangzhi warned his allies to drain the opponent’s divinity and used Secret Thunder Concealed Lightning Torrent Strike to disrupt the Noseless Mech’s information processing.
• The Gaia Mech took advantage of the opening to pierce the Noseless Mech’s divine shield and strike the seam between its shoulder armor and arm, but the reviver blasted it away.
• The reviver, unable to repair himself without risking his ultimate move, unleashed a rising barrage of high-frequency punches at He Guangzhi’s Thunder King Mech.

Li Yi’s Gaia Mech broke through He Guangzhi’s encirclement and disrupted the Noseless Mech’s attack, prompting the Resurrected one to turn his focus on Gaia Mech. Zhao He then joined Li Yi and He Guangzhi, and more mechs began closing in as the Noseless Mech abandoned its phantom-mech technique to fight the core group.

• Li Yi activated the 3.1 Burst Technique, formed his forty-fourth Divinity Gene, and maneuvered Gaia Mech through the phantoms to attack the Noseless Mech’s weakened shield.
• The Resurrected one redirected the Noseless Mech toward Gaia Mech and fired a concealed Divinity Energy Cannon, but Li Yi dodged it at the cost of damage to Gaia Mech’s lower limb.
• The Noseless Mech pursued Gaia Mech, but Li Yi evaded its charges until Zhao He’s Fire Drake Mech broke through and reached the front.
• He Guangzhi used Thunderclap Strike as Gaia Mech, Fire Drake Mech, and Thunder King Mech joined forces against the Noseless Mech.
• As more mechs broke through the phantom interception, the Noseless Mech canceled its demigod technique and concentrated on the core battle group while recovering Divinity.

Li Yi and the core battle group helped lure the Noseless Mech into an encirclement, where a concentrated barrage destroyed most of it and freed Zhang Shengfeng. The group celebrated the victory, but Zhao He noticed Zhang Shengfeng was badly injured and ordered precautions against the mech’s remaining body.

• He Guangzhi ordered the core battle group to withdraw together, and the surrounding mechs completed their encirclement of the Noseless Mech.
• He Guangzhi called for the core mechs to evade, and fifty-six mechs fired their Divinity Energy Cannons at the Noseless Mech.
• The barrage destroyed the mech’s upper body, though Li Yi and the others wondered whether it had been destroyed too easily.
• Zhao He opened the groove in the mech’s waist and found the unconscious Zhang Shengfeng inside.
• Tan Yaozu and the Celestial-rank experts praised Li Yi for his role in the victory, while He Guangzhi considered what Li Yi’s development might teach the Deus Mech Project.
• Zhao He brought Zhang Shengfeng into the cockpit, ordered the remaining mech body frozen as a precaution, and noticed Zhang Shengfeng’s condition was serious.

Zhao He discovered that the Revived One had left a takeover plan inside Zhang Shengfeng, and he and He Guangzhi arranged to freeze Zhang Shengfeng while keeping the discovery secret. Li Yi and Tan Yaozu froze and reinforced Zhang Shengfeng, but Zhao He noticed that Zhang Shengfeng’s soul waves were still radiating outward.

• Zhao He told He Guangzhi that Zhang Shengfeng showed signs of being controlled by the Revived One and that he knew of no way to remove it safely.
• Zhao He and He Guangzhi discussed asking a hidden Supreme Expert who specialized in soul Traits for help, but learned that he had not returned.
• He Guangzhi ordered the mech formations to return to Earth, while Li Yi, Tan Yaozu, He Guangzhi, and Zhao He gathered around Zhang Shengfeng in Zhao He's cockpit.
• Li Yi tried to sense Zhang Shengfeng's soul waves with his Micro-Electric Trait but could not detect them.
• Li Yi froze Zhang Shengfeng, and Tan Yaozu reinforced the ice with his Synergy Trait.
• Zhao He asked Li Yi why Zhang Shengfeng's soul waves were still radiating outward despite the freezing.
