The Federation kept moving. The coast took three more battles. The death toll climbed by the tens of thousands.

Qing'an Walled City fell next to a rift, not two weeks after Jiangnan. They had moved the people out fast enough. Had they moved a day slower, the city would have been a second Jiangnan, and the garrison would not have come home.

The people of Qing'an, who had screamed about the evacuation order, went quiet. The garrison's new rule was simple: anyone who rioted was shot on the spot. P

    "Yeah, we're insane." Yan didn't so much as flinch. "Secretly move against my people again, and I'll send thieves to eat your stockpiles every week. I'll beat your people on sight every time I see them. We'll see which of us breaks first."01 and 02 could barely breathe. They couldn't win. Yan was already True God, and True Gods weren't supposed to raise a hand at random—but Yan had never cared about a rule in his life. The cosmic code said True God hands-off. Yan punched planets. The code didn't exist for him.And the Mechanicals couldn't afford a real war. They had too many buried secrets; exposure meant the whole cosmos turned on them, Insect clan and all. They swallowed the rage."Let me kill him." 01 was shaking."Can you beat him?" 02 snapped. "Come back. We talk to the Main Brain."They returned inside.Before the Main Brain, units one through ten stood with their heads down. The Mechanical Clan had terrorized the cosmos for ages; even humanity had treated them carefully. Now a

  • Chapter 299: Are You People All Insane?

    "I'm tired of those tin soldiers." The Yellow Emperor didn't even look up. "Take your clan and tear the Mechanicals' nest apart. Do that and I'll never bother you again."The Star-Beast's face showed something almost human: alarm, calculation, the fear of something with too much sense."Just kill me instead," it rumbled. "We can't offend the Mechanicals. They've got longer arms than we have teeth. If they ever thought it was us, they'd spend ten thousand years chasing every last one of my people down.""Then send your Star-Devourer to swallow their resource worlds instead." The Yellow Emperor conceded half a step. "I'll cover the sky for you. They'll never know who did it.""You're certain they won't find out?" The Star-Beast was wavering.Swallowing resource worlds was exactly what its clan needed. Their own star domain had been stripped bare long ago. Most of them grew by swallowing raw matter—metals, minerals, the rarer the better, the more it fed their growth. They were, in truth,

  • Chapter 298: The Cosmic Tide

    "Little brother Long Chen—why are you sending me this?" Yedu's face filled the screen, creased with confusion. "Shouldn't you be on your way to the Central Domain?""A few of my friends went into the area." Ethan kept his voice even, but the wrongness was already sitting on him. "We traded for a Cosmic Secret Realm token a while back, and one of them covers that coordinate. Is something wrong there?"Yedu's expression changed. He was quiet a long moment, then blew out a breath. "If they really went to that place... it's bad. It's very bad.""Listen closely. A Cosmic Tide hit the Black Dragon Domain recently. Whole regions have been erupting with wild energy. The coordinate you sent me is right inside one of them.""That used to be a small realm—Black Dragon Star Academy ran it as a student training ground. They gave it up when the realm started shifting, but family teams still slip in to strip resources. This tide, though... that small realm may have woken up as something mid-sized, o

  • Chapter 297: The Three Great Academies' Recruitment

    Once his pride was sorted, Felix brightened. "Sir, I hear every cycle the three great academies open a betting pool. Should we put money on Ethan to win? We could make a fortune."The memory of the national newcomer tournament was too good to forget. Back then, everyone who'd bet on Ethan had struck it rich. His own parents had emptied nearly their whole savings on him, half out of loyalty, half out of pity—nobody had been buying on that nobody, and it had felt like the decent thing. They'd come up rich."Oh, you can bet already." Tang looked up at the ceiling and refused to meet anyone's eye. He wasn't proud of it, but he'd checked the pool himself before the tryouts even opened. "His name isn't on the list yet. He hasn't registered."The early favorites, the names with a real shot at the top ten, were all scions of the great royal clans—born with talent, swimming in training footage. Tang had watched every video. Even with all the faith in the world, he couldn't promise Ethan a win.

  • Chapter 296: Two Months

    Blue Star had not been sitting still while Ethan was away.After the bloodline tests, everyone who'd drawn a strong line received fresh cultivation resources. Everyone weaker got one chance to force that line forward instead—an idea the biologists had worked out on their own. They used the blood of captured alien beasts to temper a person's inherited blood, a painful process, but one that reliably made the bloodline stronger when it held. The beast blood itself they bought in from the Galaxy Guild and the other houses, in trade for the produce Blue Star now grew in abundance.Running the strategic supply side was Lianji Zhuge. He wasn't a fighter, but he had the one thing that mattered here: foresight. Early on he'd decided the Galaxy Guild couldn't be trusted to stay friendly forever, and he'd refused to put all his eggs in one basket. He kept warm relations with every other major house in Black Dragon City.It paid off. Blue Star's fruits and vegetables were rarities across the cosm

  • Chapter 295: Through the Wormhole

    Ethan came up on the alert at once and put the nostalgia away.He stood and walked a few steps toward the platform. Not many in the hall had seen what he'd done to the spirit probe. The rest, taking him for another rube out of some backwater planet from the cut of his clothes, didn't bother with him at all.That was the mistake.Someone shoulder-checked him hard as he passed. "Who the hell do you think you are, cutting in line? Get to the back of the queue, peasant. This isn't your level—"The man never finished. Ethan's gaze settled on him, cold and flat, and his fist was already moving.He remembered what Bi Han had told him. Don't sell yourself short forever. Strike when it's time, or everyone walks all over you.So he struck.The challenger blinked, thrown off balance. He'd sized Ethan up the way everyone did—barely six feet, narrow-shouldered, easy work. In the split second before the punch landed, he was already watching it in his head: this farmer's arm shattered, the boy on hi
