After capturing the star beast’s remaining core, Perfected Heavenly River explained its Incarnation Rebirth talent and praised Lu Tianxing’s role in defeating it. He then called for the transcendent systems to exchange knowledge, and a group of seven gathered near the ruined Transcendent University to discuss the Dao.

• Wang An realized that completing his internal cultivation was not enough and that he still needed to resonate with the greater universe’s laws to forge a Purple Mansion Dharma Body.

Wang An used the continental Formation Domain and his Yin Spirit to refine [Postnatal Life Dharma Primordial Qi] before accepting the greater universe’s power and attaining the Purple Mansion. The breakthrough gave him the [Dharma Primordial Qi] rule and [Source of Primordial Qi] authority, while four blood-colored barriers isolated continents and raised fears of a star beast’s advance.

• Lu Tianxin, Chen Tianping, and Ye Tianli operated the Asian Formation Domain as blood-colored barriers sealed off South America, North America, Australia, and Africa.
• The Avatar told the transcendent beings that the barriers were sacrificial grand formations made from countless spirits and urged them to connect regional formations and prepare a defense.

• Trial Officer Shaweiqi ordered Bronze Venerable to report Wang An’s rapid advancement to the high-rank leaders of the three kinds of humans.
• Tulas’s four bodies harvested nearly two billion people across four continents, bringing the deaths caused by the star beast on Blue Star to more than four billion.
• Tulas’s four bodies absorbed the harvested energy, reached the peak of level 3, and began preparing to fuse while the blood-colored barriers remained in place.
• Wang An discovered that the deaths had cost him nearly half his Qi Destiny and concluded that he needed to reach Purple Mansion to defeat Tulas completely.

• Wang An invaded Tulas's spiritual core to inspect its inheritance memories, but its protective judgment destroyed the core after he memorized [Star Celestial Aspect].
• Wang An used [Heavenly River of Return to Oneness] to halt Tulas's body's transformation into the Dao, then considered visiting the Yin Netherworld Domain to deal with its lingering resentment and death energy.

At the global council meeting, Lu Tianxin announced that Perfected Heavenly River had permanently slain the star beast and revealed that the meteorite descents were an alien trial. The trial officer Shaweiqi then confirmed Blue Star’s results and the resources, knowledge, and five centuries of development granted to humanity before its required migration.

• Perfected Heavenly River arrived at the global council meeting, where Lu Tianxin announced the star beast had been completely destroyed after killing four billion people.

In the Silver River Abode, Shaweiqi sampled the Avatar’s spirit tea, discussed plans for Bronze Human juniors to study the Cultivator System, and explained how the Bronze Human Race’s [Bronze Sacrifice] System linked people with bonded artifacts.

• Shaweiqi showed the Avatar the Spirit-Suppressing Azure Heaven Tower and explained how Bronze Sacrifice artifacts gained power through laws and sacrifices.
• Shaweiqi invited the Avatar to lecture at Bronze Academy and warned him that the Green Lizard Civilization and Blue Octopus Civilization had been spreading their transcendent paths among weaker civilizations.

After learning that his disciples remembered more than most, the Avatar warned them about the Tribulation of Lostness and urged them to master their hearts before advancing.

• Shaweiqi explained how time and teaching schedules worked for mid-stage transcendents, then offered to demonstrate the Bronze Sacrifice system.
• Shaweiqi manifested his Spirit-Suppressing Azure Heaven Tower and displayed the [Suppression] and [Capture] law sacrificial rites, whose broad implications overwhelmed the initial-stage transcendents.

• The Avatar explained the Tribulation of Lostness and warned Lu Tianxin, Chen Tianping, and Ye Tianyi to guard against arrogance, impatience, and external demons.

The Avatar laid out a framework dividing cultivation into the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Daos, presenting it as a self-circulating ecosystem for Transcendent Systems. He then explained Dao Foundations and demonstrated his [Heavenly River of Return to Oneness] Purple Mansion Divine Ability, leaving everyone inside its powerful sealing force.

• The Avatar explained that the Heavenly Dao formed the foundation of cultivation, the Earthly Dao handled souls and netherworld affairs, and the Human Dao arose from sentient beings' ideas, emotions, and wills.
• Ye Tianli described the three Daos as a transcendent ecosystem in which the Heavenly Dao produced, the Human Dao consumed, and the Earthly Dao decomposed.

• The Divine Ability sealed most of the visitors' spiritual perception and forced their defensive force fields to withdraw to their bodies.

After Shaweiqi departed, the Avatar and Blue Star’s transcendents organized the new human government and awaited galactic support. Cassandra, Di Qiling, and Savage arrived to assist, and the Avatar proposed Australia as the site for a transcendent city.

• The Avatar demonstrated [Heavenly River Water], allowing the transcendents to sense its mysteries before Shaweiqi left to report on his duties.
• The Avatar told the transcendents that the [Galactic Education Alliance] would help establish a junior Transcendent Academy, where they would study and train successors.
• Over the following month, the transcendents established the [Blue Star Human Civilization Supreme Council] and began forming the [Blue Star Human Federation].
• Four warships arrived above the Heavenly River Dao Field, carrying Savage, Cassandra, and Di Qiling to support Blue Star’s integration into galactic society.
• Cassandra offered to lead support policy, Di Qiling offered technological assistance, and Savage planned to establish and manage the junior Transcendent Academy.
• When Cassandra asked where to build a transcendent city, the Avatar proposed Australia because it had ample flat land and few remaining living creatures.

Cassandra, Di Qiling, and Shaweiqi explained the Galactic Transcendent Council’s plans for building cities, industries, and an interstellar trading market on Pluto, then shared the Avatar’s newly cultivated upper-grade spirit tea. After learning about the Galactic Network’s communication delays and the limits of faster-than-light travel, the Avatar was left considering how the Council had reached the Solar System so quickly.

• Cassandra told Di Qiling that the Council would provide technology and equipment while Blue Star’s people handled construction, industry, and resource management, and that Pluto would host a supervised interstellar trading market.
• The Avatar invited Cassandra, Di Qiling, and Shaweiqi to taste his newly cultivated upper-grade spirit tea, and they gathered at Silver River Abode on Heavenly River Peak.
• The Council’s construction team began setting up communications stations across the Solar System, and the Avatar’s communicator connected to the network.
• Cassandra explained that ordinary Galactic Network news could take years to arrive, while Di Qiling described the costly devices and methods needed for real-time communication.
• Shaweiqi said interstellar travel was normally as fast as communications and could take eight or nine years from the Milky Way’s center to the Orion Arm, leaving the Avatar puzzled about the Council’s arrival in just over a month.

The Avatar learned why Galactic General Knowledge omitted much of the information about high-tier lifeforms, then explored galactic finance and calculated how Blue Star could produce spirit origin crystals. He was shocked by the prices of transcendent goods, and Shaweiqi began explaining how other systems nurtured low-potential transcendent lifeforms.

• Cassandra explained that learning too much about high-tier lifeforms could cause higher-dimensional contamination, while touching part of a complete law offered some resistance.
• The Avatar accessed the communicator’s network, created a Galactic Interstellar Bank account, and studied standardized energy crystals and their value as fuel.
• The Avatar calculated that global Formation Domains could raise Blue Star’s energy concentration and produce tens of thousands of spirit origin crystals annually, though intermediate-tier crystals were much harder to make.
• The Avatar browsed the marketplace and found that initial-stage potions, artifacts, and transcendent plants cost tens of thousands of low-grade energy crystals.
• Shaweiqi explained that systems had developed ways to nurture transcendent lifeforms with no potential for advancement.
