Su Hao helped Ashan and Feng Cheng prepare to evolve into Life Children, then joined A Xing and A Wang on a mission to hunt a thunderous Source Beast near Xilan Village. To avoid the long journey on foot, he built a crude flying vehicle with his teammates and successfully launched it toward the mission site.

• Su Hao agreed that Ashan and Feng Cheng would evolve into Life Children, and Ashan showed him six candidate Spirit Herb varieties.
• Su Hao spent three days designing their evolution Genes and cultivating Spirit Herbs before returning to Huai Shui Town.
• A Xing recruited Su Hao and A Wang for the Thunder of Xilan Village mission, where a suspected Thunder Source Beast had destroyed a Source Squad and attacked villagers.
• When the team set out on foot, Su Hao proposed building a flying vehicle, and A Wang produced its wings while A Xing used his air abilities to lift it.
• Su Hao powered the crude vehicle with repeated bursts from Little Cannon, and it accelerated through the air as A Xing and A Wang marveled at its flight.

Su Hao, A Xing, and A Wang tracked the Thunder Source Beast to a mountain in West Orchid Manor, where Su Hao killed it instantly with his new Fixed Point Detonation spell. A Xing and A Wang followed Su Hao down to inspect the corpse, still shocked by his ability, and A Xing asked whether the spell was accurate.

• Su Hao, A Xing, and A Wang gathered information from nearby villages and learned that the Source Beast was in the mountains northwest of West Orchid Manor.
• A Wang gave Su Hao and A Xing Insulating Protective Suits, and the trio entered the mountains while A Xing and A Wang deployed Detection Balls.
• Su Hao sensed a Source Beast from ten thousand meters away and led A Xing and A Wang to a giant electric bird sleeping on a boulder.
• A Xing and A Wang discussed ways to attack the bird, but Su Hao used Fixed Point Detonation to blow off its head before it could react.
• Su Hao headed down to inspect the dead bird, and A Xing and A Wang followed as A Xing asked whether Fixed Point Detonation was accurate.

Su Hao prepared for an Anomaly Disaster mission while continuing his experiments and helping Ashan and Feng Cheng evolve. He joined A Xing and A Wang at Huai Shui Town’s east gate, and the team set out to investigate the Weeping Willow Mountain Anomaly Incident.

• Su Hao returned to Huai Shui Town with fifty-two Source Pearls and treated A Xing and A Wang to a meal, where A Xing warned that their next mission would be an Anomaly Disaster.
• Su Hao completed Gene Modification Fluids for Ashan and Feng Cheng, and both successfully evolved into Shen Armor People.
• Su Hao assigned Ashan to care for Big Dog and continued experimenting with Source Pearls at the Temporary Experiment Base.
• Su Hao found a note telling him to meet his teammates for the mission, then met A Xing and A Wang at the east gate the next morning.
• A Xing led the team out of Huai Shui Town and revealed that their mission concerned the Weeping Willow Mountain Anomaly Incident.

Su Hao, A Xing, and A Wang traveled to Weeping Willow Town to join the effort against an Anomaly Disaster called “Nowhere to Hide,” learning that many squads were competing to resolve it. At the Association Hall, they unexpectedly encountered Little Candy, and A Wang nervously went to greet the girl he secretly liked.

• A Xing explained that Anomaly Disasters attracted many squads because they were dangerous, difficult to resolve, and offered great rewards and prestige.
• Su Hao, A Xing, and A Wang built a crude flying craft and reached Weeping Willow Town in less than a day.
• Su Hao heard townspeople discuss the anomaly, its name, and the deaths associated with the willow grove.
• A Xing decided to seek information at the Association Hall, where A Wang spotted Little Candy among the crowd.
• A Xing pushed A Wang toward Little Candy, and A Wang greeted her awkwardly.

A Xing, A Wang, and Su Hao prepared to investigate the expanding Anomaly Disaster at Weeping Willow Mountain, which A Xing classified as intermediate and exceptionally dangerous. Despite learning that more than twenty squads had failed to return, all three chose to enter the disaster the next day.

• Little Candy recognized Su Hao and accused him of being a coward, but A Xing and A Wang explained that he had been an ordinary person during the Huai Shui Town attack.
• A Xing and Bi Qi exchanged information about the disaster after Jiang Ji rejected A Xing’s offer to team up their squads.
• A Xing told Su Hao and A Wang that the Anomaly Disaster had spread across thirty thousand meters and could grow into an advanced disaster.
• A Xing revealed that more than twenty squads had failed to return from Weeping Willow Mountain and that two survivors had later died with their organs missing and no visible wounds.
• A Xing, Su Hao, and A Wang voted to participate and planned to enter Weeping Willow Mountain after registering the next day.

A Xing led A Wang and Su Hao into the intermediate No Escape Anomaly Disaster at Weeping Willow Mountain, despite the danger and warnings. After they entered its distorted willow world, Su Hao investigated the strange perception shift while A Xing sent decoys ahead, and an eerie nursery rhyme drew near.

• A Xing chose to proceed with the mission after A Wang and Su Hao showed no desire to retreat, and promised to get them out safely.
• The registration clerk warned the Yang Star Gazing Squad that many stronger squads had vanished in Weeping Willow Mountain, but A Xing completed the paperwork anyway.
• A Xing explained that they needed to discover No Escape's lethal triggering conditions and destroy its Core, then led the squad into the anomalous zone.
• The three found themselves surrounded by dense willow trees with no visible way back, while Su Hao suspected a Force Field had altered their perception.
• A Xing had A Wang create three Decoy Balloons to scout ahead, and the squad followed them as a disturbing nursery rhyme approached.

Su Hao, A Xing, and A Wang entered Willow Grove and encountered an Anomaly that made organs and other body parts sprout limbs and run away. After realizing the grove distorted their perceptions, Su Hao used his abilities to return a Source Mage’s fleeing heart, leaving the man holding it while other organs remained loose.

• A Xing and A Wang froze as organs with tiny limbs hopped past the three Balloon Dummies, and Su Hao realized the Anomaly could threaten his life.
• Su Hao checked that he could Teleport to safety, then compared his perceptions with the information in Marble Space and concluded the Anomaly was distorting what they saw and heard.
• The three moved deeper into Willow Grove to search for the missing Source Squad and found a disheveled Source Mage from the Honggao Squad whose organs were running away.
• The man’s heart and a strip of muscle fled from his body, and Su Hao teleported the heart back beside him.
• The Source Mage caught his heart in his left hand as it struggled and cried out.

Su Hao and his companions investigated the Willow Grove’s organ-running Anomaly and discovered that willow branches and other long objects could trigger it when they struck someone. As night fell, Su Hao tested ways to counter the grove and cut down a swath of trees, while the danger of his destructive approach remained uncertain.

• Su Hao concluded that the Honggao Squad mage’s organs had escaped after willow branches struck him, then tested the theory by sending a Yellow Rat into the branches and watching its organs run away.
• Su Hao warned A Xing and A Wang that the organs escaped in sequence and that vines, weeds, and other long objects might also trigger the disaster.
• Su Hao found that an Opposing Space Barrier protected against the branches, while shields, mud, and A Xing’s Gel Binding Technique did not prevent the effect.
• As night fell, Su Hao tried burning the willow trees, but the flames shook themselves off and went out.
• Su Hao used Miniature—Sword of Dawn to cut down a fan-shaped swath of willow trees, leaving A Xing and A Wang stunned.

Su Hao tested the Willow Grove disaster, learned that destroying its trees did not stop it, and led A Xing and A Wang toward its Core. They found Little Candy and her teammates in danger, with Bi Qi revealing that Jiang Ji had already lost vital organs and that his own heart and lungs were still intact.

• Su Hao cut down the willow trees and blasted a wide pit, but new trees grew back and a Yellow Rat still triggered the disaster.
• Su Hao concluded that the willow trees were only vessels for the disaster and that they had to find and destroy its Core.
• A Xing identified the likely direction of the Core by watching where the new willow trees grew fastest, and the group followed him through the violent grove.
• Su Hao cleared a path toward Little Candy, where they found Bi Qi and Jiang Ji struggling against the disaster.
• Bi Qi shielded Little Candy and told A Xing that Jiang Ji had lost what belonged to him, while his own heart and lungs were still in place.

Su Hao and the Yang Star Gazing Squad survived the rain’s deadly anomalous effect by sheltering inside his Opposing Space Shield. As they waited for the storm to pass, a ragged child appeared from the rain and asked why they were not taking shelter.

• Jiang Ji and Bi Qi lost their organs to the Weeping Willow Grove anomaly, and Bi Qi asked A Xing to take Little Candy away before he died.
• Su Hao’s group heard a nursery rhyme warning of rain, and A Xing raised an Air Shield before the torrential downpour began.
• Su Hao tested the rain’s effect with a Yellow Rat and learned that it made the rat’s body parts flee.
• As the rain destroyed their Air Shields, umbrellas, and Little Candy’s Stone Umbrella, Su Hao protected everyone with his Opposing Space Shield.
• The group waited out the rain while clearing willow trees, and A Xing resolved to find the Anomaly Disaster’s Core when the storm stopped.
• A ragged child emerged from the rain, stared at the group, and asked why they were not taking shelter.

Su Hao and the others confronted the Auntie Monster and discovered that the child was the disaster’s Source while the whip’s handle was its Guide. After Su Hao destroyed the handle, the disaster ended, leaving Source Pearls and an ordinary willow twig behind.

• A wounded child warned Su Hao and the others to hide from the rain as the Auntie Monster appeared and whipped him.
• A Xing identified the Auntie Monster as a possible Core, and Su Hao sensed Source fluctuations coming from the child.
• The Auntie Monster attacked, but its whip could not reach the group through Su Hao’s barrier, and Su Hao blasted the monster apart.
• Su Hao realized the whip was the Guide and destroyed its handle with a stronger Little Cannon.
• The rain and wind stopped, the child vanished into a pile of Source Pearls, and A Xing said they had resolved the Anomaly Disaster.

After the Anomaly Disaster ended, A Xing’s squad was rescued and celebrated for surviving and defeating it. At the banquet, Su Hao reflected on his solitude while A Xing apologized for leading him into danger and asked whether he was too reckless.

• A Xing collected the Source Pearls and warned Su Hao and A Wang not to touch the willow twig, which they believed was the disaster’s Source Artifact.
• A Wang sat beside the grieving Little Candy as the Source Mage Association’s rescue team arrived and learned that the four were the only survivors among seventy-six victims.
• A Xing recounted how the squad had ended the disaster, crediting luck and concealing Su Hao’s Opposing Space Barrier ability.
• Ting Zuo’s team confirmed the willow twig was a Source Artifact, packed it safely away, and honored the dead before inviting the survivors to a banquet.
• Su Hao avoided the festivities and reflected on his loneliness, then told A Xing that being willful could be a kind of freedom after A Xing apologized and questioned his recklessness.

After returning from the anomaly disaster, Su Hao told Ashan and Feng Cheng to keep a low profile and develop spirit medicine production, then went to the Association to exchange his Source Pearls for money. The chapter left him waiting for Gulan to calculate their value.

• Su Hao and the others returned to Huai Shui Town, where A Xing granted the squad a month of rest and assigned the surviving members their mission rewards.
• Su Hao showed Ashan and Feng Cheng a recording of the anomaly disaster, and they agreed that its powers were frighteningly dangerous.
• Su Hao told Ashan to teach Feng Cheng Teleportation and asked Ashan to design machine parts that could be manufactured for their spirit medicine project.
• Su Hao took Big Dog back to town and went to the Association to exchange Source Pearls for money.
• Gulan recognized Su Hao as a celebrated Mage hero and agreed to exchange the Source Pearls for him.

Su Hao visited President Guyin to ask about the Anomaly Disaster and borrow books, then asked her for help finding a factory to build his pill-making machine. He left with books and a letter of introduction, learning that his squad’s pending reward would not be enough to cover the machinery.

• Gulan exchanged Su Hao’s Source Pearls for vouchers, and Su Hao left her a tip before asking to see Guyin.
• Guyin warned Su Hao against joining another Anomaly Disaster before becoming an intermediate Mage and advised him to take safer missions.
• Su Hao asked Guyin about his questions and borrowed the books in her study after joking that he wanted the entire Library of New Era City.
• Su Hao asked where to have his large pill-making machine built, and Guyin gave him a sealed letter of introduction to a capable factory.
• Guyin told Su Hao that his squad’s pending payment would give him around two million yuan, but that would still be far short of the cost of custom machinery.

Su Hao learned that the custom machinery he wanted would cost tens of millions, then negotiated a deal to provide the materials and have Evergreen Factory build it for one million Union Yuan. He left with plans to introduce Ashan to the factory and have him supervise production.

• Su Hao visited Lakechang Evergreen Factory with a letter of introduction and submitted Ashan's machinery designs for a quote.
• Old Ying praised the designs and offered to build the equipment for free in exchange for meeting their designer, while Old Hu objected to the cost.
• Su Hao agreed to provide the materials and pay one million Union Yuan, and promised to introduce the designer, Jia Ashan, to Old Ying.
• Su Hao realized that ordinary work would not make him rich and decided he would need to form a team to earn larger rewards.
• Su Hao told Ashan that he had found him a temporary job supervising the factory assembly line, and Ashan wondered if he was being sent to work as a laborer.

A month after evolving Ashan and Feng Cheng into Prophets, Su Hao helped Ashan build an assembly line and resume mass-producing spiritual medicine, allowing the three men to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. They then received their second Anomaly Disaster mission, Infectious Disease, and Su Hao prepared to locate the dangerous Source Beast and test a plan to kill it.

• Su Hao evolved Ashan and Feng Cheng into Prophets, then assigned Feng Cheng to manage the base and took Ashan to work with Old Ying at Evergreen Factory.
• Over the next half year, Ashan impressed Evergreen Factory with his mechanical genius, helped design a bestselling car, and completed the assembly-line machinery.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng brought the machinery to the base, where it began producing the three men's spiritual medicine; another half year later, all three had reached the Golden Core Realm.
• Su Hao received the second Anomaly Disaster mission and traveled with A Xing and A Wang to deserted Fire Zero Town, where they learned about the Infectious Disease Source Beast.
• A Xing explained that a giant porcupine drove people mad within three thousand meters, while infected people spread the effect within one thousand meters; Su Hao offered to sense and attack it from a distance but said he wanted to run experiments first.

Su Hao discovered that the porcupine’s Anomaly turned people and animals into pigs by replacing their Consciousness Information, then killed it with Little Cannon. Two hours later, the affected people recovered, though they remembered their time as pigs.

• Su Hao found the porcupine in a dense forest and used small animals to test its Anomaly while A Xing and A Wang assisted.
• Su Hao saw the animals’ Consciousness Information change into pig patterns and realized the Anomaly infected them with a pig’s consciousness.
• Su Hao killed one transformed mouse and confirmed that its Consciousness Information reverted after death, easing his fear that the transformation would be permanent.
• Su Hao killed the porcupine with Little Cannon, then tested small animals to check whether its Anomaly had stopped.
• Two hours later, A Wang spotted the affected people recovering, filthy and injured, with their memories of being pigs apparently intact.

After the Hairy Squad claimed credit for killing the Anomaly Source Beast, Su Hao rescued A Xing and A Wang from Blacksmith’s attack and urged them to use poison against their opponents. A Wang began preparing poison formulas while the Hairy Squad took the beast’s transformed remains and left.

• Su Hao declined to descend to the disaster site and sent small animals to watch after A Xing and A Wang confronted the Hairy Squad over the Anomaly Source Beast’s Source Pearl.
• Blacksmith attacked A Xing, who fought back, while A Wang used pellets to create an earthen wall and smoke for their escape.
• Blacksmith unleashed a forest of spears, but Su Hao grabbed A Xing and A Wang and flew them to safety.
• Su Hao told A Xing to poison the Hairy Squad instead of confronting them directly and gave A Wang several lethal poison gas formulas to reproduce.
• Blacksmith struck the Anomaly Source Beast’s pig head, which transformed into a large saber, then the Hairy Squad left to claim the mission reward.

A Xing, A Wang, and Su Hao used poisonous gas to kill the Hairy Squad, then returned to Fire Zero Town to find that the squad had been credited with resolving the Anomaly Disaster. A Xing and A Wang laughed at the absurdity, while Su Hao stayed silent.

• A Xing and A Wang laid a poisonous gas trap along the Hairy Squad's path, but the squad took Danzi's supposedly universal antidote pills and continued onward.
• The Hairy Squad succumbed to the poison, and Blacksmith led the weakened group toward A Xing and A Wang while they kept retreating and surrounding them with gas.
• The Hairy Squad tried to deceive their pursuers by pretending to be dead, but A Xing continued poisoning them until they died by nightfall.
• A Xing severed the three corpses' heads, and the group buried them before returning to Fire Zero Town to report their mission.
• A Xing and A Wang discovered the Hairy Squad had been credited with resolving the Anomaly Disaster, then laughed together while Su Hao wondered why they were laughing.

After the Sun Hope Star squad turned in the Anomaly Source Beast’s head, Su Hao learned that an Anomaly Disaster had devastated his base and destroyed the Elixir Assembly Line. He rescued Ashan and Feng Cheng, then planned to investigate the disaster’s trigger mechanism with small animals before resolving it.

• The Sun Hope Star squad submitted the Anomaly Source Beast’s head, leaving the auditorium’s mages to realize the Hairy Squad had not completed the mission.
• Ashan messaged Su Hao that the base had been destroyed and that he and Feng Cheng were badly injured, so Su Hao left A Xing and A Wang to help them.
• At the base, Su Hao’s defenses failed when he tried to move, and Ashan and Feng Cheng explained that movement—and eventually even stillness—triggered attacks.
• Su Hao used Flash Step and Teleportation to take Feng Cheng away while Ashan Teleported out, and the Anomaly Disaster then shattered the base and its Elixir Assembly Line.
• Su Hao decided to resolve the disaster by learning its trigger mechanism and tasked Ashan and Feng Cheng with catching small animals to use as probes.

Su Hao used small animals to investigate the Anomaly Disaster at the base, discovering that its hazards alternated according to whether the Processing Machine was running or stopped. After destroying the machine and collecting its Source Pearls and Source Artifact, he had Ashan and Feng Cheng prepare to leave and bury the base.

• Su Hao sent batches of small animals into the Anomaly Disaster to test how movement affected their survival.
• Su Hao determined that movement and stillness triggered alternating hazards, and that the machine's operation controlled which hazard was active.
• Su Hao and Ashan found the intact Processing Machine inside a hollow mountain after Su Hao blasted the hill away.
• Su Hao identified the machine's Flywheel as its Source and destroyed the machine, causing the Flywheel to become Source Pearls and its blade shaft to become a Source Artifact.
• Su Hao confirmed the disaster had ended, collected the Source Pearls, and told Feng Cheng to wrap the Processing Blade in sand and Ashan to gather Spirit Herb fragments before burying the base.
• Ashan and Feng Cheng completed their tasks, and Su Hao led them away.

Su Hao established a new experiment base on Gourd Island and tested the Source Artifact Processing Blade. He discovered that Blood Qi could faintly activate it, leading him to suspect that Blood Qi might transform into Source.

• Su Hao and Feng Cheng relocated overseas, where they chose an uninhabited island and named it Gourd Island.
• Feng Cheng began constructing the new base while Su Hao prepared to investigate the Processing Blade.
• Su Hao used a Dummy and Transformation Armor to test the blade, learning that it reproduced Motion Calamity within a fifty-meter range but lacked Stillness Calamity.
• Su Hao injected Blood Qi into the Processing Blade and noticed its faint glow strengthen as more Blood Qi entered it.
• Su Hao examined the Blood Qi in Marble Space and found that a tiny portion had vanished, prompting him to suspect it had transformed into Source.

Su Hao discovered that spiritual power could activate a Source Artifact and speculated that Source might let him transform matter and energy into anything he needed. When Evergreen Factory’s new owners blocked his plans, he decided to solve the problem by moving the entire factory.

• Su Hao tested whether spiritual power could activate the Processing Blade and found that it worked, with some spiritual power disappearing just as Blood Qi had.
• Su Hao experimented with storing the Source Artifact in different materials and imagined Source’s potential for transforming matter, energy, and even enabling powerful rebirths.
• Ashan told Su Hao that Evergreen Factory’s management had been replaced and that the new owners would not provide machinery or a production line.
• Su Hao brought Feng Cheng to Evergreen Factory with Ashan, and the three concealed themselves above the factory as Life Children.
• Ashan suggested attacking the Source Mage Association, but Su Hao proposed moving the entire Evergreen Factory instead, surprising Ashan and Feng Cheng.

Su Hao and Ashan staged an Anomaly Disaster to move Evergreen Factory to Gourd Island while Feng Cheng attacked the Source Mage Association building. After rescuing Feng Cheng from a Trick Source Mage, Su Hao ordered the factory restored and set plans for their next research and cultivation goals.

• Su Hao and Ashan turned Evergreen Factory's grounds into Diamond Armor to drive everyone out, while Feng Cheng went to blow up the Source Mage Association building in Lakechang City.
• Su Hao and Ashan teleported the entire factory complex to Gourd Island as a huge explosion erupted in Lakechang City.
• Feng Cheng called for help after a Trick Source Mage scrambled his sense of direction, and Su Hao teleported him back to Gourd Island.
• Su Hao told Ashan and Feng Cheng to restore the production line within two months and pursue breakthroughs to the Spirit Transformation Realm.
• Su Hao planned to collect Source Artifacts and visit New Era City.

Ashan’s attack left the Lakechang City Source Mage Association auditorium in ruins, while the people responsible escaped and Evergreen Factory vanished. Two years later, Su Hao reached the Spirit Transformation Realm and regained Divine Intent, giving him the ability to observe Source directly.

• President Shiceng discovered the destroyed auditorium, learned the attackers had escaped, and found Evergreen Factory emptied before putting the attackers’ armor on wanted lists.
• Su Hao heard A Xing and A Wang joke about the wanted name “Land Scraping Armor” as their squad headed to a mission.
• Su Hao continued gathering information, studying Source, and training his Spiritual Power while remaining in the Yang Star Gazing Squad.
• Two years later, seventeen-year-old Su Hao reached the Spirit Transformation Realm and regained Divine Intent with a perception radius of two hundred thousand meters.
• Su Hao realized he could use Divine Intent to observe Source and prepared to investigate it.
