I Prove the Dao and Become an Emperor with the Blue Star, Battling the Virtual Continent

On the seventh day of the Virtual Continent's invasion, humanity was defeated across the board. Ye Zhong, an ordinary man who had never awakened a Pulse Gate, awakened the Blue Star System amid the ruins and gained the Eye of Truth, which could see through all virtual code. From then on, he embarked on a path no one had ever taken. The nine realms were Pulse Veins, Inner Organs, Skin and Body, Spirit Entry, Super Spirit, Void Spirit, Spirit Return, Spirit Transformation, and Spirit Burial. Beyond them lay a legendary tenth realm: Emperor Spirit. No human had ever reached it. The Virtual Continent had seven realms, with the Virtual Emperor reigning supreme. Master of every line of code, the Virtual Emperor was immortal and sought to turn Blue Star into a physical world and enslave all of humanity. Ye Zhong was the key to breaking the deadlock. Born in harmony with Blue Star's source, he could defeat enemies far above his level with ease. Blue Star's powers unlocked one after another: the Eye of Truth, the Blue Star Body, resonance with Blue Star's will, Blue Star's gravity, Blue Star's magnetic field, Blue Star's source... Every step struck at the Virtual Continent's weak point. Nine human powerhouses of the Spirit Burial realm guarded the frontier, but fell one by one. Ji Changkong took Ye Zhong as his disciple. Ling sacrificed herself and merged with Blue Star, while the Dawn Squad fought alongside him as they cut their way across the continent. In the end, Ye Zhong gathered the fragments of Blue Star, attained Emperor Spirit, and faced the Virtual Emperor in a decisive battle in the void. One punch shattered the Virtual Emperor's body, but then he learned the truth: the Virtual Continent was the failed product of an ancient civilization's attempt at digital ascension, and the Virtual Emperor had only wanted to go home. Ye Zhong grasped the ultimate truth: Blue Star and the Virtual Continent were not enemies, but could merge into a real universe. He sacrificed himself, merging Blue Star's will with virtual code to create a new world where reality and virtuality could coexist. Blue Star would endure forever, and Ye Zhong would never die.
