Chapter Summaries

A colossal sea-serpent monster emerged from the river, overwhelming Tyrannosaurus Rex and Vajra Gorilla as the inheritors faced a threat they could not handle. Kurumi had aimed Twilight Morning Star at the river shortly before the creature appeared, and the chapter ended with both fighters hurled away by its tail.

• Commander Li judged that the parasitized humans who jumped into the river might still have research value, while the inheritors refused to search the dangerous current.
• Tyrannosaurus Rex returned from the riverbank, and Kurumi asked Li Jiayu whether he believed in Fate before aiming Twilight Morning Star toward the water.

• Commander Li ordered the others to retreat as Vajra Gorilla rushed toward the riverbank.
• The sea serpent struck Tyrannosaurus Rex with its tail, and Vajra Gorilla was thrown away after intercepting the blow.

A giant sea serpent attacked the inheritors, and Kurumi fought it off long enough for the others to retreat. After the monster paused to study her, Kurumi said it was time to continue migrating.

• The sea serpent stopped attacking and studied Kurumi as she lowered Twilight Morning Star and said it was time to continue migrating.

Kurumi faced the sea serpent monster and revealed that she intended to capture it for research rather than kill it. After Commander Li began the migration, Kurumi fought the monster at the riverbank and prepared to finish the battle.

• Kurumi told Li Jiayu she wanted to knock out and capture the sea serpent monster, then rushed toward it alone.

Kurumi transformed and faced the Mutated Sea Serpent, whose strength had reached the peak of the Third Order, while Li Jiayu and the others withdrew toward the military camp. The battle remained unresolved as Void Sunglasses revealed that the serpent was parasitized and Kurumi’s attributes were hidden by an unknown power.

• Kurumi appeared in a blood-red gothic lolita dress, and the Sky Eye Master judged that the Frost Dragon was still more powerful than her.

• Li Jiayu recognized that Kurumi had approached Lord-level strength and wondered whether she might leave after sweeping through everything.
• Void Sunglasses identified the serpent as a peak Third Order creature parasitized by a strange species, then showed that Kurumi’s brain activity and mental strength were protected by an unknown power.

Li Jiayu used the Void Sunglasses to learn more about Kurumi, while Kurumi fought the sea serpent and tried to avoid drawing the World Consciousness's attention. The sunglasses vanished after angering her, and Kurumi left the immobilized monster biting into the shore.

• Li Jiayu read the sunglasses' assessment of Kurumi and resolved to become strong enough to reach her after her trial ended.

• The sea serpent lunged at Kurumi, but she trapped it in a silver Magic Array Diagram that pinned its body in midair.
• Kurumi flipped and collapsed the array, sending the sea serpent crashing into the shore and biting into the black mud.

Kurumi used a gravity array and a powerful shot from Twilight Morning Star to kill the sea serpent monster, destroying the black threads parasitizing it. After removing the corpse, she flew off in a new direction.

Kurumi arrived above Xijiang City's migration convoy and found Marsh-Devouring Giant Earthworms slaughtering the people at its rear. When one threatened Xixi and her wounded mother, Kurumi plunged down toward them, leaving Xixi to witness a scene she would never forget.

• Civilians hurriedly fled with the migration convoy as the battle to the west grew quieter, while Kurumi struggled with the strain of using her spiritual power.
• Kurumi spotted Marsh-Devouring Giant Earthworms attacking the convoy and watched inheritors fail to protect its rear.
• Xixi's mother, gravely wounded and missing an arm, urged her daughter to run before collapsing unconscious.
• Three worms approached Xixi and her mother, and one burst from the ground to attack the sobbing child.
• Kurumi swooped down in a black-and-crimson streak, creating a sonic boom as Xixi looked up.

Kurumi saved Xixi and her mother from the Swamp-Swallowing Giant Worms, then reflected on Ran Hongxia’s observation that she seemed distant from everyone. That night, after Ran Hongxia reported a blood-drained corpse, Kurumi agreed to scan the camp while the military investigated.

• Kurumi healed Xixi’s mother’s severed arm, then killed twelve of the twenty-two Swamp-Swallowing Giant Worms attacking the evacuation convoy as the others were dealt with.

• Kurumi examined the dried corpse and suggested reducing the camp’s perimeter, offering to scan the area periodically.

As the exhausted military migration reached a town, Li Jiayu hunted for Bug Crystals and brought some to Kurumi, only to learn she could gather spiritual energy herself. Their intimate conversation was interrupted when Ran Hongxia came looking for Li Jiayu.

• Xiao Wanqing tightened the camp's security, and Xixi's Mom stayed to work in logistics after waking and thanking her.

• Li Jiayu brought several Second Order Bug Crystals to Kurumi, who showed him she could gather spiritual energy and urged him to find gentler crystals for himself.
• Kurumi teased Li Jiayu, nearly drawing him into a kiss, before Ran Hongxia called from outside and asked whether Kurumi had seen him.

Ran Hongxia found Li Jiayu and Kurumi and learned that Li Jiayu had left a survivor after killing the men who had provoked him. The trio went to face the group demanding justice outside Xijiang University's camp, where their leader's confidence faltered as he saw Li Jiayu and Kurumi.

• Chu Xiang kept the visiting inheritors in check as they waited, while their leader hoped to gain compensation despite fearing Xijiang University's strength.
• Li Jiayu, Ran Hongxia, and Kurumi approached the group, and their leader grew nervous when he recognized Li Jiayu and took in Kurumi's alluring presence.

Li Jiayu and the Xijiang University inheritors confronted a gang that accused him of killing their men, while Kurumi used her power to make the leader reveal the gang’s real intentions. The gang was surrounded, and its members began blaming their leader as Chu Xiang advanced.

• The gang’s leader accused Li Jiayu of stealing their Bug Crystals and killing one of their men, then threatened to appeal to Alliance Leader Lin and the military.

• The gang tried to retreat but found themselves surrounded by the Xijiang University inheritors.
• Chu Xiang confronted the leader, and one of the gang members denied responsibility and blamed him.

The informant gathered Alliance Leader Lin’s lackeys, but Kurumi’s words triggered their leader into slaughtering his own companions before he died. Xijiang University’s inheritors were left facing the surviving Yang Soul inheritors, while Ran Hongxia suspected Kurumi had caused the massacre.

• The informant feared Li Jiayu and Alliance Leader Lin, so he gathered over a dozen lackeys and several Yang Soul inheritors instead of passing on Li Jiayu’s message.
• Ran Hongxia asked Kurumi why she was distracted, and Kurumi joked about what position “deep friendship” was.

Meanwhile, the army struggled to keep its migration convoy moving amid the Blood Demon’s attacks, dwindling food, and other disasters.

• Kurumi went to sleep after days without rest, while Commander Li learned that the Blood Demon had devoured an entire residential district.
• The migration convoy struggled through muddy mountain roads as landslides, insect swarms, food shortages, and exhausted civilians caused growing disorder.

As the migration force struggled through freezing weather, Kurumi sensed something beneath the plains just before a massive fissure split the ground and swallowed camps. Li Jiayu and the military scrambled to respond, while Kurumi remained standing at the fissure’s edge.
