• Qin Yiyi told Xia Zhi that Huaxu Entertainment was struggling and her album release was delayed, so Xia Zhi asked the Limitless Martial Arts School’s External Affairs Department to arrange an investment.

Xia Zhi sent the Limitless Martial Arts School’s business team to stop HT Group from taking over Huaxu Group, which was led by Qin Yiyi’s friend Ailin and owned in part by Xia Zhi. After reassuring Qin Yiyi that he had acted for her, Xia Zhi entered seclusion to attempt a breakthrough from the peak of War God level to Planetary level.

• Xia Zhi thought the Australian Continent might provide the Wood elemental energy and treasures he needed to cultivate the Primordial Golden Body Art.
• A thick white mist spread over an island and its surrounding lake, and a system beneath the island detected a human with suitable brain-domain breadth and began covert guidance and retrieval.

• After ten days of searching, Xia Zhi followed rivers and underground waterways to a vast lake covered in dense mist and found Mist Island.

Xia Zhi entered Mist Island, discovered that his Planetary-level breakthrough had given him a light ability, and harvested the island’s Mutated Willow Trees for their essence. After absorbing the Willow Wood Hearts, he advanced to the second rank of the Planetary level, while a War God instructor set out to find him after satellites lost track of him.

• Babata noticed Earthlings gathering at Mist Island and left the remaining Wood Essence Crystals for them to find while a fifth-stage Planetary monster threatened them.
• More than twenty council-level experts gathered by the lake after Councilman Fal was injured by the monster’s tentacle, and they heard that Hong would enter Mist Island to kill the Beast Emperor.

Xia Zhi completed a rapid cultivation breakthrough, learned more about Huyan Bo’s inheritance, and began bonding with the Cloud-Soaring Vine. As he prepared to face a Beast Emperor Tentacle Monster, observers around the lake detected a mysterious life-form fighting it underground.

• Xia Zhi told Babata he had received cultivation techniques in his mind, and Babata warned him to keep the powerful inheritance secret while explaining that his rapid breakthrough had left his foundation unstable.

Xia Zhi’s return to Jiangnan Base City prompted preparations for his residence and alarmed Li Yao and Vina, who feared his power and planned to flee. After Li Wei died, Li Yao offered a 100 billion Huaxia Coin bounty for the killer, while Xia Zhi learned of the news in Hongning Base City and focused on his plans to reach the Star level and prepare for the Golden Horn Beast’s birth.

Xia Zhi visited a storage warehouse with Qin Yiyi to inspect the collected treasures and discovered a mysterious token that only he could see as more than an ordinary metal sheet. After Babata dismissed it as D-grade metal, Xia Zhi secretly wondered whether it concealed a secret absent from the original novel.

• Xia Zhi shared dinner with Qin Yiyi and Xia Dahai, then agreed to inspect the newly collected treasures with Qin Yiyi.
• Xia Zhi and Qin Yiyi traveled to the storage base, where Zhuge Tao welcomed them and led them through the warehouse.

• Xia Zhi privately questioned why the token looked different to him and wondered whether it was an unknown artifact.

Xia Zhi discovered that the Boundary token was a Boundary God Token that could send a trace of his true spirit into another Primordial World, but he postponed using it until he reached Star level. At the Elite Training Camp, the students gathered for the Life and Death Trial and waited for Xia Zhi to arrive as the Third Speaker.

Three years after helping humanity defeat the ocean monsters, Xia Zhi explored No. 12 Ancient Civilization Relic in search of a spaceship that could take him into the universe. He found a Black Dragon Mountain Empire X81 inside the wreck and entered it, with the story left at the threshold of its dark passage.

• Xia Zhi recalled how Luo Feng rose to become Jiangnan Base City's Inspector and how Xia Zhi slew the Thunder Dragon Emperor, establishing humanity's dominance over Earth's ocean monsters.
