Chapter Summaries

Chu Yuanzhen’s forces struck down a juvenile Mother Worm while Yunxi rescued soldiers and learned that the Insectoid Race was fleeing through the Wormhole toward the Cloud Sea Star System. Yunxi forced the bugs back into the Wormhole and sealed their escape with a purple lightning formation as the Black Beetles attacked it.

• Chu Yuanzhen ordered the Purple Core Beam to kill the juvenile Mother Worm, then sent mecha squads to grind up the strip worms before they could reach the attack ships.
• Yunxi rescued wounded soldiers across the battlefield, while Yin Tong and Hei Zhan recognized her aid and discussed holding the defensive lines until the Fifth Group Army arrived.
• Nalan Hang and Yu Meng persuaded Yin Tong to rest in a Sleep Pod, while Nalan Hang privately messaged Fleeting Smoke.
• Yunxi received a warning from Ethereal Immortal that fleeing Insectoids were surging toward the Cloud Sea Star System through the Wormhole, so she agreed to stop them in the Fringe Starfield.
• Yunxi appeared in the battlefield, sent Cloud Sea Star System soldiers away, swept the Insectoids back into the Wormhole, and placed a purple lightning Formation Wheel inside it.
• The Insectoids struck at the Formation Wheel to escape the unstable passage, but its purple lightning destroyed weaker bugs while powerful Black Beetles continued attacking.

Yunxi trapped the surviving Insectoid Race while the Cloud Sea Star System’s armies rebuilt their defenses and began exterminating the bugs. When the Federation ordered the commanders to capture Insectoids alive for research, Yin Tong, Hei Zhan, and Adams discussed refusing without letting their rivals replace them.

• Yunxi expanded the Nine Thunder Annihilation Formation to hold back the Insectoid Race while Yin Tong and Hei Zhan redeployed their fleets into a double defensive line.
• Yunxi withdrew once the defenses were in place, leaving the surviving Insectoid Race for the Federation military to fight.
• Three days after the Wormhole closed, the Fifth Group Army joined the Second and Third Group Armies to establish three defensive lines and begin a full-scale battle.
• Yunxi received an upgraded Hong Energy Shield and a military-grade treatment pod from Nalan Hang, then watched the battle while cultivating.
• A Research Ship delivered the Federation’s order to capture Insectoids alive, and commanders Yin Tong, Hei Zhan, and Adams agreed the order risked the star system’s safety.
• Adams urged Yin Tong and Hei Zhan to find a way to restrain the researchers and proposed sending Insectoid corpses for research instead.

Yunxi warned the commanders that the Insectoid Race would devastate the Cloud Sea Star System and offered to exterminate it in exchange for a warship and ten combat mechas. After the commanders refused the price and tried to delay the Scientific Research Department, a research team died in the battlefield, and the department sent another ship with the Ninth Army Group; Adams saw the new operation as a chance to obtain Yunxi's demanded payment.

• Yunxi warned Yin Tong, Hei Zhan, and Adams that researchers could use insect corpses to revive the Insectoid Race, then demanded a fully functional warship and ten top-spec combat mechas to destroy the invaders.
• Yin Tong, Hei Zhan, and Adams decided to delay the Federation's order and destroy the Insectoid Race themselves, while cutting off the Research Ship's communications.
• Three researchers took an Exploration Ship to the front line, where yin-yang worms overwhelmed the ship and killed them.
• The Military Department blamed the researchers for violating battlefield orders, while the Scientific Research Department condemned the military and sent a second Research Ship escorted by the Ninth Army Group.
• Yin Tong warned that the Ninth Army Group's arrival could let the researchers capture insects, and Adams said the new force had delivered ready-made payment.

Yunxi agreed to eliminate the Insectoid Race in exchange for the Ninth Army Group’s main warships and new mechas, securing the commanders’ promises with a Heaven and Earth Contract. After Ethereal Immortal approved her intervention, Yunxi vowed to eradicate the Insectoid threat completely.

• Yin Tong, Hei Zhan, and Adams agreed to have Yunxi wipe out the Insectoids and pay her with the Ninth Army Group’s main warships and new mechas.

• Yunxi sent Ethereal Immortal the contract and explained that she had the Heavenly Dao’s permission to intervene.
• Ethereal Immortal told Yunxi she had to uproot the Insectoid threat to earn Merit, and Yunxi vowed to ensure the race could never rise again in the Cloud Sea Star System.

Yunxi wiped out the Insectoid Race invading the Cloud Sea Star System, claimed the Ninth Army Group’s flagship as her reward, and was pulled through the Xuantian Square Realm into an unknown place. She landed between two hostile sides, where grotesque figures ordered others to catch her.

• Yunxi watched the Research Ship and waited for the Ninth Army Group to arrive while the battlefield commanders gradually eased their defensive lines.
• When the Ninth Army Group reached the battlefield, Yunxi moved the Cloud Sea Star System’s soldiers and three army groups’ defensive lines out of the way, then summoned Hei Yao to slaughter the Insectoid Race.
• Yunxi burned all the Insectoid remains with Ziyan, seized the Ninth Army Group’s flagship, and returned through a mirror after sending its crew to other vessels.
• Yin Tong, Hei Zhan, and Adams sensed that their agreement had been fulfilled, while Musent cried out over the loss of his flagship.
• Yunxi was pulled from the Mirror World into a new location, landed between opposing sides, and heard someone command others to catch her.

Yunxi rescued a survivor base from a zombie horde and reunited with Xun Kun, who brought her to meet Elder Liu. After hearing how the Zombie Emperor had revived the zombie threat, Yunxi and Xun Kun sought privacy to investigate a way to end the crisis.

• Elder Liu explained that the Zombie Emperor had rebuilt the zombie army and threatened the five official survivor bases.
• Xun Kun confirmed Elder Liu’s account, and he and Yunxi asked for time alone to find a way to resolve the crisis.

Yunxi and Xun Kun discussed how the Xuantian Square Realm sent them to worlds in danger and learned that an Evil Immortal had derailed this world’s development by empowering the zombies. They decided to cultivate the world’s humans and mutated creatures so they could eventually oppose the Evil Immortal, leaving them ready to begin.

• Xun Kun told Yunxi that he had spent three years protecting humanity from the Zombie Emperor, who commanded a zombie horde against survivor bases.
• Yunxi explained that the Xuantian Square Realm was a divine artifact that sent outsiders to other planes to resolve existential crises and revealed that she had fought the Insectoid Race in her previous world.

• Yunxi agreed that they should begin putting their plan into action.

• Yunxi and Xun Kun finished fighting the zombies, then learned that the Zombie Emperor was Jiushao, an old enemy whose main soul had descended into this world.
• Yunxi burned Jiushao’s divine soul with Ziyan until it could no longer be harmed, destroyed the Zombie Emperor’s body, and let Jiushao’s battered soul return to its original place.
• Yunxi and Xun Kun left Ren Xiaoyuan to face the zombies, while his teammates escaped Lianyun City and failed to rescue him.
• Ren Xiaoyuan fought until the zombie horde killed him, and Xun Kun sent his terrified teammates to safety.
• Yunxi shattered the wisp of Alien Soul that left Ren Xiaoyuan’s body.

Yunxi and Xun Kun accelerated the recovery of Spiritual Qi and Demonic Qi throughout the small world, transforming its survivors and creatures. After exhausting their power, they prepared to visit Azure Dragon Base and leave cultivation resources across the world before departing.

• Yunxi and Xun Kun rested in Xun Kun's mobile Immortal Cave while Jiushao returned to the God Realm gravely wounded and covered in spreading blue-violet patterns.
• Yunxi mapped the small world's recovering qi sources, and she and Xun Kun strengthened its Spiritual Veins and demonic veins before activating a world-spanning formation.
• The formation dispersed the world's violent aura, empowered survivors, and put mutated animals and plants to sleep as Yunxi awakened their inherited bloodlines; zombies also began evolving toward self-awareness and physical wholeness.
• Yunxi embedded cultivation techniques in zombies' Crystal Cores, and the evolved humans and creatures entered a new round of confrontation.
• After recovering from the power they had spent, Yunxi and Xun Kun agreed to distribute cultivation techniques and scatter their unused treasures throughout the small world.
• Xun Kun brought the mobile mountain above Azure Dragon Base, where he and Yunxi appeared before its residents.

Yunxi arrived in the Beast World Continent, where the Sacred Lake that grants males the ability to transform was shrinking. After questioning its guardian, she was welcomed by Silver as the Beast God Messenger.

• Yunxi landed at the Sacred Lake and encountered its golden python guardian, who pursued her into a forest.
• Yunxi summoned Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao, and Bai Xiao defeated the guardian when it followed them.

• Demon Beasts from nearby tribes gathered around Yunxi and the Ice Baihu couple.
• Silver arrived and welcomed Yunxi on behalf of the tribes as the Beast God Messenger.

Yunxi learned that Sacred Lakes had been disappearing for centuries and healed Hong, helping him advance into a top-tier beastman. As she traveled with Silver toward the Giant Python Tribe, she learned that tribes without Sacred Lakes had relied on trading access, including sending females, while the remaining lakes continued to shrink.

• Silver told Yunxi that five tribes' Sacred Lakes had vanished and that the Beast God had foretold the arrival of a messenger.
• Yunxi healed the wounded golden python, and Hong transformed into a top-tier beastman before thanking her as the Beast God Messenger.
• Yunxi agreed to visit the Giant Python Tribe with Silver while Hong stayed behind to guard the Sacred Lake.
• Yunxi searched the continent, messaged the Tribal Warrior through the Chat Group, and asked Silver about females and Sacred Lake baptisms.
• Silver explained that the Four-Eared Rabbit Tribe had traded red fruit and then females for access to the Mane Wolf Tribe's Sacred Lake, and that limits on outside baptisms had only slowed the lakes' decline.

Yunxi arrived at the Golden Python Tribe and promised Silver she would help prevent the Beast World Continent’s destruction if the tribes followed her instructions. After a suspicious young female challenged her identity, Yunxi searched Mo Ning’s memories, punished her, and ordered Silver to dismiss her from his apprenticeship.

• Silver asked Yunxi whether the continent could still be saved, and Yunxi promised to help if he listened to her.
• Silver brought Yunxi to the Golden Python Tribe, where Yi Yu, Yi Feng, and Clan Chief Shuo welcomed her as the Beast God Messenger.

• Yunxi searched Mo Ning’s memories, removed the memories she should not have inherited, and ordered Silver not to train beastmen from Mo Ning’s branch as Great Shamans.
• Silver dismissed Mo Ning from his apprenticeship and told her to leave.

Yunxi uncovered how Mo Ning’s ancestors’ teachings had weakened females and contributed to the Sacred Lakes’ decline. She prepared to investigate further and address the crisis, then set up her residence in the Golden Python Tribe.

• Yunxi questioned Silver and Shuo about Mo Ning’s ancestors and learned they had spread planting and animal husbandry alongside the belief that females should avoid transformation and serve as mothers.
• Yunxi explained that females’ lost transformation abilities had weakened later generations, leaving more cubs dependent on the Sacred Lake to transform.
• Silver realized that widespread dependence on the Sacred Lake had likely depleted it, while Yunxi said an unknown plant might have obscured the true cause.
• Yunxi asked Silver to gather plants for potions and agreed to inspect his pharmacy while Shuo arranged a place for her to stay.
• Yunxi chose an empty plot in the tribe’s great square and conjured a two-entry siheyuan with her Capsule Dharma House.

Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao reported on the tribe’s weakened females and cubs, and Yunxi chose Yuyan as the first female to help gain the ability to transform. After hearing Yuyan’s reasons and resolve, Yunxi gave her a pill and assigned Bai Qiao to guide her through the process.

• Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao told Yunxi that the tribe’s females had blocked Meridians and its cubs could not control the power in their inner cores.
• Bai Qiao described Yuyan, a strong female who opposed Mo Ning and hunted and gathered for herself, and said Yuyan wanted to learn to transform.
• Yunxi summoned Yuyan and asked why she wanted to transform, and Yuyan explained that she hoped to follow her great-grandmother’s example and help the tribe.
• Yunxi told Yuyan that her efforts had earned her the chance to transform and gave her a pill.
• Yunxi instructed Bai Qiao to oversee Yuyan’s cleansing and first transformation, and Bai Qiao placed Yuyan in an ice-water barrel.

Yunxi helped Yuyan cleanse her body, gain the ability to transform, and receive a magical bow and inheritance, then enabled most Golden Python Tribe females to transform. Mo Ning failed to gain the ability and was taken away, while Yunxi prepared to meet the tribes’ Great Shamans and learned that the hidden threat remained undiscovered.

• Yuyan endured the Marrow Cleansing Pill, transformed into a python, and learned to switch between human and beast forms with Bai Qiao's help.
• Yunxi gave Yuyan the Radiant Sun Bow, and Bai Qiao gave her an Inheritance Light Orb.
• Mo Ning spread rumors about Yuyan, but Yunxi chose not to interfere; five days later, most Golden Python Tribe females could transform, while Mo Ning could not.
• Mo Ning begged Yunxi for the ability to transform, but Yunxi refused, and Silver had her dragged away from the Dharma House.
• Yunxi told Silver that the Great Shamans could visit the next morning, then heard Bai Xiao report that he had found no abnormalities and that Hong still guarded the unchanged Sacred Lake.

Yunxi summoned the Great Shamans and explained how they could help restore female beastmen’s ability to transform and strengthen young beastmen. She set the first ritual for ten days later in the Golden Python Tribe, while Bai Qiao went out to spread news about Mo Ning’s branch.

• Yunxi asked Bai Qiao and Bai Xiao to admit the Great Shamans gathered outside her courtyard.
• Yunxi told the thirty Great Shamans that she would refine pills for their tribes if they gathered the required materials and sent a healthy female from each tribe to the Golden Python Tribe.
• The Great Shamans recorded Yunxi’s lists of ingredients and agreed to bring the materials to the Baihu couple.
• Yunxi announced that she would perform rituals at each tribe to help young beastmen gain the ability to transform without Sacred Lake baptism.
• Yunxi and silver set the first ritual for ten days later in the Golden Python Tribe, and the Great Shamans left to prepare.
• Bai Qiao went out to spread the news that the females of Mo Ning’s branch could not gain the ability to transform.

Yunxi tested Marrow Cleansing Pills on Xingchen, whose transformation ability returned, and used Spirit Rain during the Golden Python Tribe's sacrifice to help its cubs transform. As the tribe prospered, Mo Ning grew resentful and secretly contacted other tribes, while Langyue arrived with the Mane Wolf Tribe.

• Silver told the Great Shamans that Mo Ning had never possessed transformation ability and that the pill could not give it to her.
• Yunxi gave Xingchen a Marrow Cleansing Pill, and Xingchen regained the ability to transform into a smaller giant ape.
• Yunxi taught Xingchen the Spirit Ape Long Fist in exchange for the Giant Ape Tribe's Wine Fruit Tree.
• During the Golden Python Tribe's sacrifice, Yunxi summoned Spirit Rain, and the cubs transformed into their original beast forms.
• Mo Ning's cub remained unable to transform, and Mo Ning grew resentful of Yunxi while secretly contacting relatives in other tribes.
• The Mane Wolf Tribe arrived with plants and two females, including Langyue, whom Yunxi allowed to meet Mo Ning.

Yunxi rejected the descendants of transmigrated women who asked for the ability to transform, then used Zhusheng to discover that a Corpse Puppet evil plant was behind the Sacred Lakes’ disappearance. Zhusheng had already engaged the hidden plant, and Yunxi prepared to learn the outcome.

• After Weiyun regained her ability to transform but Langyue did not, the Mane Wolf Tribe’s Great Shaman took them away.
• Yunxi completed thirty sacrificial rites, then continued investigating the vanished Sacred Lakes with the Ice Baihu couple.
• The descendants of transmigrated women asked Yunxi for the ability to transform, but she refused and explained that their ancestors had contributed to the Sacred Lakes’ depletion.
