• The Radiance-level pirate leaders chose to take Bilian and Carus hostage and flee in a cloaked ship.

At a wartime meeting, Herudan rejected Wei He’s request to collect live samples on the front lines after the Longlan Family and others opposed it. Wei He returned to research work at the Empty Star Research Institute, where he considered keeping Bilian and the others safe from retaliation.

• Herudan reviewed the five-day battle, logistics, and reports from the other fronts, while Sean requested permission for Wei He to collect live samples.

• Sean told Wei He that the Longlan Family’s opposition had blocked his application, and Wei He accepted that he would remain at the institute.
• Wei He continued researching contaminated samples and reflected on the limits of strengthening his human body, then decided Bilian and the others should stay put during the war.

Wei He investigated ways to overcome the Flesh and Blood Martial Arts Path’s bottleneck and studied a Tentacle Demon sample to strengthen his psychic energy. He then returned to the sealed Terrorhuman sample, whose old-man persona raised the possibility that it was connected to Mind Fusion Mimicry Technology.

• Wei He considered altering his body or creating a secondary body to get past his martial arts bottleneck, then searched for information on Terrorhumans and found they could grow stronger without becoming larger.

• He Bing reminded Jin De of their agreement, slapped him when he claimed to have forgotten, and made him apologize while Kashulia criticized their behavior.

After a Terror Man’s warning about Star Abyss hallucinations, Wei He reorganized his cultivation and defenses around the Boundary-Breaking Pearl. He created the Evolutionary Codex, fused his powers into Mimetic Primal Force, and raised his Spirit Energy to 187 Spirit Ears.

• Sean remembered his hidden identity and orders to investigate the deaths of Niz and another Fission-level giant beast, then secretly sent a message to draw others’ attention to Wei.
• A week later, Belkin dismissed an investigative report questioning Wei He’s identity and demanded evidence from its informant.

Wei He investigated the True World’s nine layers while rumors accused him of being a mutant and spy. Chameleon confronted him about the deaths of Niz and Xinli, then threatened his relatives by revealing that the Eternal Silence Party had found Bai Ling and Hua Yue.

• Belkin’s secretary suggested Wei He might be a mutant, while Herudan ordered Heart of the Banyan Tree to report any definite findings about the rumors.
• Wei He continued cultivating and investigating the True World after his research work was suspended pending an identity investigation.
• At the Olga Star Central Library, Wei He found an ancient account describing the True World’s nine layers and the ghost winds, but discovered that research on the Evil and Void layers was scarce.
• Chameleon entered Wei He’s private reading room and demanded to know how Niz and Xinli had died.
• Wei He refused to reveal the truth, and Chameleon threatened his relatives by naming Bai Ling and Hua Yue as people the Eternal Silence Party had found.

• Wei He rushed to the research institute and took Bai Ling and Hua Yue in as their dean.

Wei He visited Bai Ling and Hua Yue in the Empty Star Research Institute and pretended to treat them as ordinary mutant test subjects. That night, he secretly moved them to an isolated chamber and rebuilt their bodies with his flesh and blood, making them human and linking them to his power.

• Wei He entered the test-subject hall with Sean and used his psychic power to subdue the prisoners.

• Wei He used his flesh and blood to replace most of their corrupted tissues, giving Bai Ling and Hua Yue human bodies and connecting them to his power.

Wei He negotiated with William Houdalier to bring Black Stone Group onto the Empty Star Research Institute's supplier shortlist and arrange legal identities for undocumented people. He then began growing ninety-nine people from the samples of enemies he had killed, fulfilling a promise while sensing that the work might bring unexpected benefits.

• Wei He met William Houdalier at Black Stone Group headquarters and agreed to give the company a chance to bid for a research institute supply contract.

• The samples rapidly grew into bodies, and the cultivation chambers turned green to signal completion.

Wei He watched the Revivalists grow, raised his son Wei Heng with Bilian, and advanced rapidly in cultivation over fifteen years. When war between Penza and Knosus erupted, the Empire ordered Illumination-level and higher psychics to mobilize, and Wei He learned that he and Bilian would soon be drafted.
