Chapter Summaries

Ye Bai obtained the Thunder God Armor at auction and used it to greatly strengthen Da Hui before preparing to summon Dakarabi to learn how to counter Abyss Spores. After Ye Bai reported the plan, Zhang Dashan agreed to take the matter to the Five Marshals, leaving the summoning under official consideration.

• Corpse Speaker punished Abomination by trapping it in a spike-filled abyss, then vowed to avenge Lucia and destroy the Death God Society.
• The Sun Moon Star Three Sages discussed completing their research and chose not to interfere with the auction of Blood Saint Son's inheritance.
• Zhang Lingxue found Ye Bai's note and Glowstone, which could help her Goddess of Light Butterfly evolve, and suspected Ye Bai had calculated the evolution path through research.
• Ye Bai attended the Dragon Soaring Auction House and bought the supposedly worthless Thunder God Armor after the Dragon Scale Pill sold for thirty million Yanhuang Coins.
• The Thunder God Armor fused with Da Hui, granting it powerful lightning armor and a dramatic increase in strength.
• Ye Bai decided to report his plan to summon Dakarabi, and Zhang Dashan agreed to inform the Five Marshals so they could investigate the Spore Demon God's weakness.

Ye Bai summoned Dakarabi and Sier to investigate the Abyss Spores and check whether Jiang Dongsheng and Zhang Tianliang still carried them. Dakarabi confirmed the Flame Potion had cleared their infections, while Sier offered a research hint before Ye Bai asked how to identify infected people.

• Zhang Dashan arranged an underground Laboratory and prepared sacrifices for Ye Bai to summon Dakarabi and Sier, warning Ye Bai about the dangers of Demon God power.
• At the Laboratory, Zhang Dashan revealed he was a Doppelganger, and Ye Bai summoned Dakarabi, who recoiled from the infected Summer Grass Ant and warned that Mother of Spores Jubis threatened Blue Star.
• Dakarabi examined Jiang Dongsheng and Zhang Tianliang, found no remaining spores, and said their infections had been purged and had given them immunity.
• Ye Bai summoned Sier, who said the Abyss Spores resembled spores on Blue Star and suggested researching them from that angle.
• Ye Bai asked Sier how to identify humans infected by Abyss Spores.

Ye Bai prepared to travel to the Southern Heaven Gate after Sier gave him a Treasure Sensing Orb and warned that the Eye of Light and Darkness could advance his talent. Meanwhile, Zhang Lingxue became Xin Yue Hu and received a mission to investigate the disappearance of Kui Mu Lang; Ye Bai then strengthened the Mirage Dragon’s illusions and set out for the fortress.

• Sier gave Ye Bai a Treasure Sensing Orb, mentioned the Eye of Light and Darkness, and vanished before the Laboratory staff inspected Ye Bai for demonic tampering.
• Zhang Dashan assigned Jiang Dongsheng and Zhang Tianliang to protect Ye Bai on the journey to the Southern Heaven Gate, and Ye Bai planned to travel disguised as medical personnel with Lan Fa’s replicas as decoys.
• Zhang Lingxue became Xin Yue Hu and received the White Fox Hairpin and an order to find Kui Mu Lang and retrieve his Northern Star Heavenly Wolf Blade.
• Zhang Lingxue found a sixteen-year-old disc and wondered whether the former Xin Yue Hu’s death was connected to Kui Mu Lang’s disappearance.
• Ye Bai combined three Mirage Dragon Pearls to strengthen the Mirage Dragon’s ability to create illusions, then prepared to leave for the Southern Heaven Gate before the Abyss Spore incubation period expired.

Ye Bai and Lan Fa infiltrated the medical team bound for Southern Heaven Gate to investigate Abyss Spores and suspected conspirators, while preparing for a possible ambush. After surviving a storm and reaching the fortress, they learned that several people had developed spores and were sealed in a secret chamber.

• Ye Bai reviewed clues about Abyss Spores, including their sensitivity to heat and aversion to bellflower sap, and disguised himself and Lan Fa with Mirror Person’s replicas to join the medical team.
• During the flight, Ye Bai warned Lan Fa that they might be attacked, and the plane entered a thunderstorm where Thunderbirds gathered around it.
• Jiao Mu Jiao used Hellfire to drive off a Thunderbird, and the flock fled after the rain drenched their feathers.
• The team landed in Tiannan Province, changed vehicles several times, and reached Southern Heaven Gate Fortress, where Ye Bai noticed the bloodstained stones seemed to carry intelligence.
• A fortress representative told Ye Bai and Lan Fa that several people had developed horrifying spores and had been sealed in a secret chamber; Ye Bai followed the medical team inside despite his foreboding.

At Southern Heaven Gate, Ye Bai investigated a spore outbreak that was turning Pet Beast Masters into attackers and suspected it had been deliberately engineered. When a suspicious shortage of Flame Potion materials threatened to lure Jiao Mu Jiao away, Ye Bai warned against the trap and learned his Grandmaster had reached the ninth rank.

• Professor Du Bo briefed Ye Bai on the spreading spore infection and asked him to examine the afflicted Pet Beast Masters.
• Ye Bai noticed that the Strange Beasts showed no signs of infection and messaged Jiao Mu Jiao with his suspicions about the outbreak.
• Jiao Mu Jiao let Ye Bai inspect the patients while the others rested, and Ye Bai arranged for a replica to gather information inside the laboratory.
• Ye Bai and Jiao Mu Jiao discussed the possibility that someone had created the spores and predicted that the conspirators would use a false materials shortage to separate them.
• Logistics personnel reported that Flame Potion materials and workers were lacking and urged Jiao Mu Jiao to go to a dangerous valley, confirming Ye Bai's prediction.
• Ye Bai advised Jiao Mu Jiao not to leave and learned that their Grandmaster had become a ninth-rank Pet Beast Master.

Ye Bai discovered that Blood Gu could devour spores and cure parasitized Summer Grass Ants, then brought the breakthrough to Zhang Jian, who arranged for Lan Fa to mass-produce Blood Gu and Flame Potion. Meanwhile, Professor Du Bo plotted to trap Zhang Jian and kill Ye Bai to protect his spore-parasitism research.

• Ye Bai used the Myriad Changes Silkworm to turn Blood Gu against spores, curing a Summer Grass Ant and creating a Blood Gu Ant.
• Ye Bai confirmed that Blood Gu could overcome Potent Spores and reported the discovery to Zhang Jian.
• Zhang Jian proposed using Blood Gu as a vaccine, and Ye Bai explained that it could work alongside Flame Potion and survive temperatures above fifty degrees.
• Ye Bai revealed Lan Fa's replication talent, and Zhang Jian accepted Lan Fa as his eldest disciple and ordered him to reproduce Blood Gu and Flame Potion.
• Professor Du Bo arranged for Flame Potion ingredients to disappear and prepared a trap for Zhang Jian, planning to kill Ye Bai and preserve the spore-parasitism research.

Ye Bai and Zhang Jian countered Professor Du Bo’s spore scheme by using the Blood Gu to cure infected Pet Beast Masters and checking Southern Heaven Gate’s accounts. Du Bo died while trying to unleash a stronger spore infection, but Jiao Mu Jiao captured his soul to uncover the larger conspiracy, while a hidden enemy still plotted against Ye Bai.

• Du Bo’s faction discussed replacing Southern Heaven Gate personnel and dismissing Ye Bai’s Flame Potion as ineffective against late-stage Spore Sickness.
• Ye Bai showed Zhang Jian that the Blood Gu Butterfly could remove spores from an infected doppelganger, then arranged to spread Blood Gu through the underground Laboratory’s ventilation system.
• Ye Bai told Zhang Jian to use an accounts inspection to pressure Du Bo, while Du Bo planned to lure a Tier 7 Beast King to Southern Heaven Gate and summon Cain for immortality.
• Jiao Mu Jiao found evidence that Du Bo had embezzled three billion Yanhuang Coins, and Du Bo died after his attempt to transform with spores caused him to cut his own throat.
• Hellfire consumed Du Bo’s Soul Fire so Jiao Mu Jiao could read his memories, while Ye Bai observed the infected Pet Beast Masters recovering and a hidden figure vowed to destroy him.

Professor Du Bo revealed that his infected doppelganger had spread Abyss Spores and sought to summon Cain, while the Corpse Speaker raised Zhang Tian'an as a puppet. Zhang Tian'an resisted, escaped after destroying many of his puppets, and the Corpse Speaker joined Du Bo’s plan to attack Southern Heaven Gate Fortress as Ye Bai and Wang Gang met.

• Professor Du Bo emerged from a blood-filled cavern, revealed his spore plan, and went to meet the Corpse Speaker.
• The Corpse Speaker exhumed Zhang Tian'an and used Black Qi to awaken her as a Corpse Puppet.

• Professor Du Bo arrived and negotiated with the Corpse Speaker, offering to track Zhang Tian'an while they joined forces against Southern Heaven Gate Fortress.
• The Corpse Speaker began raising more corpses to form an army, while Ye Bai and Wang Gang came face-to-face.

Ye Bai defeated Wang Gang and sealed away his spore-based fake-death form, then emerged from the Laboratory as a meteor-like barrage struck Southern Heaven Gate. General Han Yan identified the bombardment as a sign that the Molten Dragon Turtle was awakening.

• Wang Gang sent his Ice Snow Mushroom and Blazing Fire Mushroom to attack Ye Bai, but the Nether Wolf destroyed the Blazing Fire Mushroom and the Ice Glass Dragon killed the Ice Snow Mushroom.
• Wang Gang began to self-destruct, and the Myriad Changes Silkworm protected Ye Bai and the Laboratory with a barrier.
• Ye Bai discovered that Wang Gang had survived inside a giant spore and sealed the spore in a Beast Card.
• Ye Bai learned that the parasitized people were still unconscious and that the Blood Gu needed to consume the spores inside them.
• Ye Bai emerged from the underground Laboratory as black fireballs battered Southern Heaven Gate's fortress.
• Han Yan warned Jiao Mu Jiao and Fang Ri Tu that the fireballs heralded the awakening of the Molten Dragon Turtle.

Ye Bai learned that Professor Du Bo was preparing to summon the Demon God Cain and discovered intelligence about the Molten Dragon Turtle's hidden weakness and the Eternal Songstress. As Ye Bai considered countermeasures and planned to rescue the Songstress, the Molten Dragon Turtle awakened and unleashed another Beast Tide against Southern Heaven Gate.

• Ye Bai told Jiao Mu Jiao that Abyss Spores could be countered with Flame Potion injections and Light Attribute skills, then proposed turning the spores into mines for the Strange Beast Battlefield.
• Ye Bai's daily intelligence revealed that the Molten Dragon Turtle's heart lay behind a tiny Reverse Scale, Professor Du Bo had created a Blood River beneath the slaughterhouse, and the Eternal Songstress was hiding in an Underground Waterway.
• Ye Bai resolved to find the Eternal Songstress, whose songs might help stop the Corpse Speaker, and wondered whether spores could take control of corpses from him.
• The Molten Dragon Turtle awakened deep in Nanli Volcano, drew heat from the lava, and roared to summon Strange Beasts toward Southern Heaven Gate.

A Beast Tide driven by the awakened Molten Dragon Turtle attacked Southern Heaven Gate Fortress, and the defenders learned it could escalate from Sixth Order to Seventh Order. As reinforcements prepared to arrive, Du Bo revealed that he had engineered the awakening and planned to use the battle as a sacrifice to the Demon God.

• Molten Dragon Turtle drove the Strange Beasts toward Southern Heaven Gate Fortress, while spores spread across the advancing horde.
• The Beast Tide struck the fortress, and Han Yan learned it was assessed as Sixth Order and was rising toward Seventh Order.

• Du Bo revealed that he had awakened Molten Dragon Turtle as a sacrifice to the Demon God and planned to wait for Seventh Order Strange Beasts before unleashing the Corpse Speaker's Corpse Puppets.

Ye Bai searched Southern Heaven Gate’s underground pipelines for the Blood River and Zhang Jie, while Du Bo infected the Black Rats with a plague to hunt them. The chapter ended with Ye Bai facing a massive swarm of Plague Black Rats as he tried to reach Zhang Jie first.

• Ye Bai found the fortress’s expansion plans, entered the underground pipelines, and sent Goddess of Light Butterfly clones through separate passages to search for Zhang Jie.
• The Sunflower Emperor absorbed blood from Strange Beasts on the battlefield while the Mirage Dragon confused them into fighting one another.
• Zhang Jie fled the Corpse Speaker’s Corpse Puppets through the pipelines, hoping to reach an exit near the rear kitchen and call for help.
• Du Bo found Zhang Jie through a Blood Mirror and used Blood Demon Technique: Plague Infection to turn Black Rats into Plague Black Rats.
• A Goddess of Light Butterfly clone encountered the rat horde and destroyed many of them with holy light, then warned Ye Bai of the danger.
• Ye Bai heard the Plague Black Rats approaching a three-way intersection and prepared to reach Zhang Jie before them.

Ye Bai used the Myriad Changes Silkworm’s holy light to destroy Plague Black Rats and realized their plague could potentially turn the Beast Tide against itself. Blood Demon Du Bo advanced his plan to summon Cain, while Zhang Jie was rescued and Southern Heaven Gate Fortress fought off Phantom Crows as the Blood Dragon grew stronger.

• Ye Bai had the Myriad Changes Silkworm burn the Plague Black Rats to ash, then collected their Crystal Cores and considered using Plague Infection to end the Beast Tide.

• The Blood Dragon absorbed the Blood Mist from the fallen Phantom Crows, and its emerging horns began to take shape.

Ye Bai raced to rescue Zhang Jie after Night Blood Bat Emperors destroyed the Myriad Changes Silkworm’s Doppelgangers, while the Eternal Songstress escaped thanks to a Goddess of Light Butterfly Clone’s sacrifice. At Southern Heaven Gate, Zhang Dashan and the other defenders prepared for the Beast Tide and the possible attack of the Molten Dragon Turtle.

• Night Blood Bat Emperors destroyed the Myriad Changes Silkworm’s Doppelgangers as Ye Bai hurried toward the Eternal Songstress’s location.

Zhang Dashan organized Southern Heaven Gate Fortress’s defenses against the coming Beast Tide, while Ye Bai rescued Zhang Jie from Blood Demon Du Bo’s attempt to claim her as a sacrifice. Du Bo raged over the rescue but held back from attacking the fortress.

• Zhang Dashan ordered the fortress’s risks inspected and assigned Jiao Mu Jiao, Fang Ri Tu, and Xin Yue Hu to lead defenses against separate Beast Tide waves.

• The Myriad Changes Silkworm used Holy Light Illumination to drive off and burn the Night Blood Bat Emperors while the Space Pelican transferred Zhang Jie to safety.
• Du Bo learned that Zhang Jie had been rescued and erupted in rage, but he did not dare send his forces against the well-defended Southern Heaven Gate Fortress.

Blood Demon Du Bo retreated while Zhang Jie reported the Blood Demons’ and Corpse Speaker’s plots to Zhang Dashan, who ordered searches of Southern Heaven Gate Fortress. As the fortress faced a massive Beast Tide, Ye Bai and Zhang Lingxue were assigned to tame a Thunderbird flock, and veteran Qin Huai set out to fight alongside his fallen comrades.

• Blood Demon Du Bo withdrew into the Blood River, planning to gather enough blood to summon the ninth-rank Blood Demon God.

Zhang Jian prepared Southern Heaven Gate Fortress to withstand the Thunderbird and Flame Leopard forces while seeking ways to capture them in Secret Realms. Zhang Lingxue arrived at the Heroic Graveyard to confront the Corpse Speaker, who recognized her and ordered his undead to capture her.

• Zhang Lingxue gave Zhang Jian a jade authority for a large Secret Realm, and Zhang Jian asked her and Ye Bai to develop bait for the Thunderbirds.
• Zhang Jian assessed the Thunderbird and Flame Leopard threat, ordered the fortress to hold its position, and told General Han Yan to gather all available Secret Realms.

• At the Heroic Graveyard, the Corpse Speaker raised skeletons and prepared to build an army of Corpse Puppets from powerful corpses.
• Zhang Lingxue arrived with a Poison Dragon Butterfly and a Goddess of Light Butterfly, and the Corpse Speaker ordered his undead to capture her.

Zhang Lingxue’s Holy Light destroyed the Corpse Speaker’s army of corpse puppets, so he used the Death God’s Curse to raise Lightning Sword Li Qinglei as a stronger puppet. Ye Bai’s side fought back, but the Corpse Speaker brought four more coffins to the surface as he targeted Zhang Lingxue.

• Zhang Lingxue used the True Goddess of Light Butterfly’s Holy Light Illumination to turn the Corpse Speaker’s corpse puppets to ash.

• Li Qinglei’s consciousness returned, but the Corpse Speaker retained control of his body and ordered him to attack.
• Da Hui fought Li Qinglei in the sky while the Corpse Speaker brought four coffins out of the ground and eyed Zhang Lingxue greedily.

The Corpse Speaker revealed Long, a living person transformed into a Corpse Puppet, and attacked Zhang Lingxue while Ye Bai and Da Hui fought Lightning Sword Li Qinglei. At Southern Heaven Gate, the fortress survived a Thunder Bird assault, and Han Yan proposed luring the birds into Secret Realm spaces with specially made bait.

• The Corpse Speaker introduced Long and threatened to turn Zhang Lingxue into a Corpse Puppet, but Zhang Lingxue sent the Poison Dragon Butterfly to fight him.
• Long's sword attacks dissolved in the Poison Dragon Butterfly's corrosive domain, while the Myriad Blood Gu Butterfly released Blood Gu into the Corpse Puppets.
• Da Hui absorbed Lightning Sword Li Qinglei's lightning, helping repair the Eye of the Thunder God as Ye Bai prepared the Sunflower Emperor as a hidden counterattack.
• The Thunder Birds struck Southern Heaven Gate with a Lightning Dragon, shaking the fortress's Protective Shield but causing limited damage and revealing the fortress's Lightning Stone reserves were insufficient for many more attacks.
• Han Yan proposed using bait developed by the Imperial Capital Research Institute to lure Thunder Birds into Secret Realm spaces, and the Breeder team prepared the bait.
• A Thunder Wolf ate the bait, became intoxicated, and began emitting a powerful fragrance that Jiao Mu Jiao hoped would attract Thunder Birds.

Ye Bai froze Thunder Sword and took him away, then used Space Pelican to teleport Corpse Speaker’s Thousand-Year Zombie into the Blood River. The awakened zombie absorbed the river’s blood and turned on Blood Demon Du Bo, who attacked her as she forced out the Soul Suppressing Nails.
