Chapter Summaries

Wang An learned that the Tyranids had destroyed the Kun Heaven Cloud Whale Race before high-tier forces exterminated them, but the Brood Empress’s death allowed a subspace evil god’s clone to flood the Great Void and Dark Universe with chaotic emotional energy.

Lu Tianxin endured the overwhelming Thunder Sound Soul Suppression Method and remained unconscious while she continued to digest its words of law under Wang An’s protection.

• Wang An asked Lu Tianxin about her cultivation, and she reported that her magic power was only one-tenth transformed toward Art Convergence and her Yin Spirit refinement remained incomplete.

• Sicarius and the Librarius discussed collecting transcendent resources to trade with the Human Federation, and considered inviting cultivators or sending people to study the Cultivator System.
• Sicarius chose to invite Human Federation transcendents to gather resources for now and asked whether the Imperium’s upper ranks had decided to establish diplomatic relations.

Wang An completed a system-wide effort to cultivate [Heavenly Fire] Golden Nature and taught his disciples about advancing to the Purple Mansion. When Lu Tianxin reported that a world larger than [Clear Void Heaven] might be ascending near the Orion and Sagittarius Arms, Wang An decided his Avatar would represent the Human Federation as nearby civilizations prepared for the upheaval.

• Sicarius sent a diplomatic mission to the Human Federation and arranged an informal response to the Imperium of Man.
• Wang An modified the planetary magical treasures across the Solar Star Sector, which began producing lunar imagery and lunar Heaven and Earth Qi; the Imperium of Man and Human Federation also established preliminary diplomatic ties.

• Lu Tianxin told Wang An that spatial disturbances near the Orion and Sagittarius Arms suggested an enormous world was ascending, and she had notified the three categories of humans and the Imperium of Man.
• Wang An said his Avatar would attend the potential high-tier ruins, while Lu Tianxin reported that construction of the mid-tier shipyard was nearly complete.
• Wang An's Heavenly River drove off mid-tier pirates, and his reputation spread across a thousand light-years of the Orion Arm.

Wang An devised a way for Lu Tianxin and Spirit Radiance to use soul-bearing mechanical puppets to ease the manufacture of mid-tier warship components. Ten years later, Ophiuchus Star had become a busy trade and resupply hub, where exploration teams gathered to sell discoveries and stock up before returning to the sparse star region.

• Wang An told Lu Tianxin to have the Black Mountain build mid-tier mechanical puppets and explained how puppets connected to Spirit Radiance could help manufacture warship components.
• Ten years passed, and the Solar Star Sector’s population reached thirty billion as spaceships carried goods between its ten star systems.
• A humanoid exploration team ate at an upscale restaurant in Ophiuchus Star’s orbital spaceport, where Captain Fogem praised the Black Mountain’s destruction of the Evil Dragon Pirate Crew and the safety of the trading hub.
• Fogem reassured the team that the Human Federation would buy their two earth-path spiritual objects if no one else made an offer, and promised to show them the local market.
• After the team paid half a Law Primordial Crystal for an initial-tier meal, Fogem explained that second-tier spiritual water made it costly and pointed out a tower serving genuine second-tier food.

Fogem and his companions explored a Second Tier resource market, where he bought a weapon fragment suited to his forging skills. At a Human Federation shop, they learned that a cheap spatial artifact from the Mortal Fetus Astral Realm was unstable around extraordinary laws, but the attendant offered a possible fix from Great Perfected Heavenly River.

• Fogem led his squad through the market and bought a law-contaminated weapon fragment for 1,000 Second Tier crystals after bargaining down the shopkeeper.
• Fogem explained to his teammates that the fragment was valuable mainly because he could use it with his forging expertise and affinity for its laws.
• The squad visited the Human Federation shop and inspected its complete Second Tier, level-one treasures.
• A puppet attendant showed them a spacious artifact from the Mortal Fetus Astral Realm and explained that extraordinary laws could trigger a destructive spatial storm inside it.
• The puppet attendant offered to have Great Perfected Heavenly River make a spatial stabilizer for the artifact if the squad bought it.

Fogem's team examined rare transcendent goods before selling the Yellow Cloud Spirit Soil and Green Leaf Purple Tile for 20,000 Second-Tier Low Grade crystals. Lu Tianxin learned that the earth-path treasures could help the Great Perfected One cultivate Rooftop Earth imagery and law.

• Fogem's team inspected spatial equipment, ghost water, a divine spark, and a Space Escape Talisman, but found the goods too costly or unsuitable.
• The group reviewed other Realm products and Human Federation items, memorizing details about useful puppets and beacon magic treasures.
• Fogem received an offer for the Yellow Cloud Spirit Soil and Green Leaf Purple Tile, and Zhuge Mou accepted 10,000 Second-Tier Low Grade crystals for each.
• Fogem distributed the proceeds among his team, then urged them to strengthen themselves for the expected opening of the Thirteen Heavenly Realms of the Ancient Church of Truth Seeking.
• Spirit Radiance told Lu Tianxin that the completed trade could help the Great Perfected One cultivate Rooftop Earth imagery and law.

Lu Tianxin refined a puppet avatar and joined Wang An at the Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm, where they prepared to explore its dangers and gather Profound Gas. Meanwhile, Wang An completed the laws of Great Forest Wood and began seeking a ritual to condense its Golden Nature by organizing the Dao lineage’s Qi Destiny.

• Lu Tianxin learned that Tianping and Perfected Heavenly Dawn had stabilized their Purple Mansion phenomena, while Yu Tianqing remained in seclusion pursuing a breakthrough.
• Lu Tianxin refined a Second-Tier Mid Grade puppet avatar that could travel through the Netherworld, then went to meet Wang An.
