Chapter Summaries

Kaka escaped the turmoil on Treasure Island and became a senior craftsman in the Resurrection Kingdom, where he and Buji developed the idea of using bone as a structural material. After the Bone Stalk Giants debuted through the Gene Sequence, Kaka and Buji questioned whether Bone Construction still had a future.

• Kaka, a gifted forger on Treasure Island, was pressured to make deadly devices and rejected by the Invention Department, which judged his background and work to be disgraceful.
• Kaka fled Treasure Island with his father and Little Dot when imperial war brought military levies and violence to the island.
• Kaka joined the Resurrection Kingdom as a senior craftsman and met Buji, who argued that broad access to foundational knowledge was essential for the kingdom's progress.
• Kaka and Buji proposed using bone with wood, stone, and metal to build structures and devices, then documented their research in an application to King Raymond.
• King Raymond approved their Bone Construction plan and granted the resources they requested, so Kaka and Buji began assembling a research team.
• The Bone Stalk Giants led by Hero Xidar debuted on the battlefield, and their Gene Sequence strength caused Kaka and Buji to doubt Bone Construction's value.

Kaka and Buji advanced Bone Construction from experimental machinery into a standardized industry, earning Resurrection Kingdom a major partnership with Yao Kingdom and creating the Mobile Fortress Little Dot. After their work brought them divine recognition, Kaka remembered a childhood promise from his parents about buying him a golden sea turtle.

• Kaka saw the wounded and lost soldiers returning with the Arbitration Army and urged Buji to develop Bone Construction as a way to reduce casualties; Buji confirmed that Fire-Steam Furnaces could power bone-built limbs.
• Kaka and Buji created the Bone Frame Vehicle, which transported a Bone Mage Tower and enabled it to cast spells and perform repairs while moving, then spent eleven years establishing detailed Bone Construction standards.
• Yao Kingdom's ambassador Black Forge praised the invention, arranged purchases and joint research, and signed agreements creating United Friendship University, Bone Construction Academy, and a trade route between the kingdoms.
• Kaka and Buji developed the Mobile Fortress Little Dot, which defeated Hero Xidar in a test and demonstrated how standardized bone construction could support mobile defenses and new settlements.
• As Little Dot tested itself across different environments, Kaka and Buji received a divine blessing; Kaka recalled his young parents and his father's promise to buy him a golden sea turtle.

• Lu Yao eagerly looked forward to going to Yellow Millet Tower, hoping to find other players there.

Lu Yao entered Yellow Millet Tower to investigate the former occupant of his identity, Huang Jia, and discovered that the Qin Empire's world experienced strange time jumps. As he searched for information, an old patient recognized his interest in the First Emperor's Treasury and offered to work together.

• Lu Yao was admitted to Yellow Millet Tower and met Zhu You and the silently chanting Master Huiyuan in his dormitory.

After helping Zhu You and Huiyuan clean up, Lu Yao learned that Manu had become one of The Forgotten and discovered that Zhao Zhenzhu of the Imperial Guard had been watching him. He refused her invitation to visit the Imperial Guard, returned to Lanruo Square, and spent his final hours there with Hua Tiao'er as his departure drew near.

After returning from Great Qin, Lu Yao discovered that fifteen days had passed in the real world and used Marquis Sui's Pearl to uncover Sinan Star, a hidden passage linked to the Great Qin Empire.

• Fahai planted the Ruyi Staff on the island and fell asleep from exhaustion.

• Li Qing grew up isolated in the Black Chapel’s fortress, where his five shadows—Li Chi, Li Cheng, Li Huang, Li Lu, and Li Qing—took turns acting through him.
• At thirteen, Li Qing joined the Chapel and helped carry out the slaughter of children deemed failures, while his shadows handled the operation and he chanted scriptures.

• Li Qing activated his Gene Sequence, and each shadow found a strength suited to a different field of study while he continued to serve as the group’s good person.

• Li Qing switched to Li Lu, who questioned the Curse Master and warned that he could be handed to Salt City’s Police Station for investigation into the Chapel.

Li Qing investigated the Black Chapel’s accusation that he stole its Sacred Artifact and went to the Resurrection Kingdom to find the Yellow Snake Monster he believed was connected to it. When the monster overwhelmed him and Laura, the Mountain Golem Hero arrived to confront it.

• Li Lu handed the Forbidden Spellcaster over to the Salt City Police Station, and Li Qing hurried to the Resurrection Kingdom after recognizing the Sacred Artifact’s possible connection to the giant Yellow Snake Monster.
• Li Qing learned that Bai Mu was hunting the wanted monster and gained permission to enter the sealed area by pairing up with Laura, a Vampire field reporter carrying a licensed Black Magic weapon.
• Li Qing and Laura found the Yellow Snake Monster, but it spotted them and forced them to flee after easily defeating Li Chi and driving the four Elemental Magic Swords back into Li Qing’s Sword Box.
• When golden light immobilized Laura and the monster moved to swallow her, Li Qing turned back, achieved Mind Unity, summoned his four Elemental Magic Swords, and attacked with Sword in the Pond.
• Li Qing carried the exhausted Laura away as the monster pressed on, but the Mountain Golem Hero descended between them and the Basilisk, announcing that he was arresting it by divine oracle.

• Tyrant Salina explained that the Temple Society had been monitoring the Black Chapel and revealed its links to Mystic Arts Country and other worlds.
• Tyrant told Lu Yao that Li Qing had once been a Black Chapel assassin who stole a Sacred Artifact, and that a powerful snake was suspected of being connected to it.
• Lu Yao sent Marquis Sui's Pearl and Isabelle to search for the treasure, and they found a camouflaged snake in a canyon.
• Lu Yao used the True Sight Curse to identify the snake as the Dragon Restraining Spirit, the degenerated Dragon Binding Rope once held by Zhao Gongming, and connected Zhao Gongming to the Black Chapel's worship of the Black Tiger Head and Lord of the Chapel.
