• The Black Annihilation squad used Yun Shan’s locations to hunt undead beasts, while the great clans’ rescue teams plundered soul pearls and Deathly Aura Tablets.
• Plague manipulated Xiao Yan’s fortune to make Huo Zhi increasingly favor him, and Xiao Yan humiliated the Yan Clan’s young elites while unknowingly spreading Negative Energy.

• Huo Ao used his Eight Desolations Destruction Flame to sense Plague and locked his gaze onto him from more than a hundred miles away.

Huo Ao cornered Pestilence and overwhelmed him with close-range attacks, but Pestilence used a music box to stun Huo Ao and prepared to strike with his Salted Fish Thrust. The chapter left Huo Ao immobilized as Pestilence launched his weapon’s attack.

• Huo Ao sealed the space around Pestilence and attacked him with Eight Desolations Destruction Flame.
• Huo Ao battered Pestilence, whose body repeatedly regenerated, and Pestilence released puppets to fight him.
• Pestilence used a music box that played “Lofty Mountains and Flowing Water,” slowing Huo Ao’s attacks.
• Pestilence shouted “eat this salted fish thrust” and attacked the stunned Huo Ao with his Salted Fish Thrust.

Plague used bizarre treasures and negative effects to attack Huo Ao, but Huo Ao’s system converted the afflictions into a power boost. The chapter ended with Huo Ao charging toward Plague in a euphoric, singing frenzy as Plague prepared his ultimate move.

• Plague stunned Huo Ao repeatedly with Salted Fish Charge while his puppets attacked, until Huo Ao’s system removed the negative effects and he destroyed two puppets and the Music Box with Flame Saint Finger.
• Plague survived Huo Ao’s attack by transforming into a blood mist, then struck Huo Ao with several negative effects and doubled them with an Effect Amplification Talisman.
• Huo Ao refused to spend many Origin Points to remove the effects, so System Daddy converted them into a modified Burning Blood state that boosted his attack power and speed.
• Huo Ao charged at Plague while singing and crushing a puppet, and Plague prepared to unleash his ultimate move.

Plague detonated a modified Tsar Bomba to stop Huo Ao, but Huo Ao survived and pursued him through the radiation zone. Kurumi and the Ice Phoenix reached the area as Huo Ao and Plague continued fighting with mysterious items.

• Huo Ao's attacks failed to harm Plague, and the two fought with strange items inside the radiation zone as Kurumi and the Ice Phoenix arrived.

Kurumi fled a ravenous black-fog Reincarnator that had absorbed strange particles and risen to Half-Saint, while Huo Ao escaped separately. She unleashed a powerful Jade Pendant to halt the pursuit, then found a dark-gold treasure chest as reinforcements arrived.

• Kurumi watched Huo Ao battle Plague, then the black fog absorbed altered particles and dragged Huo Ao inside as its power surged to Half-Saint.

Kurumi examined the dangerous items from Plague’s treasure chest, worried that her life might be controlled by a hidden mastermind, then resumed refining her bloodline. A Space Portal opened over the Snake People capital, and Xun’er took command of the Black Annihilation Army as the city went on alert.

• Kurumi inspected the Warhead Launcher and Negative Energy Source Essence, deciding the risks made both items unsuitable to use.
• Kurumi questioned whether the chain of events shaping her life had been arranged by a mastermind, then dismissed the thought and began condensing her bloodline.

• Xun’er took out the Blood Jade Token and placed the local Black Annihilation Army under her full command.

After receiving a small transfer of Origin, Kurumi recovered and decided to return to the clan with Xun’er that night. Zi Yan mistook Kurumi for an Ancient Void Dragon after sensing her aura, leaving Kurumi to play along with the misunderstanding.

Kurumi deciphered the strange patterns in her sea of consciousness and unexpectedly brought Red Queen back as a tiny figure in a black dress. Red Queen needed a body to survive, and Kurumi agreed to let her explore outside while she considered how to help.

• Kurumi investigated the strange patterns in her sea of consciousness and manifested Red Queen in a black dress.
• Red Queen explained that she had crossed the Plane Barrier as data by using the last of her origin to protect her godhead talents.
• Red Queen told Kurumi she needed a body or would run out of energy within a month, and Kurumi agreed that she could make her an ordinary one.
• Red Queen peppered Kurumi with questions and asked to go outside, so Kurumi unlocked her permissions to leave the sea of consciousness.
• Red Queen formed a virtual body outside and happily stared at Kurumi as Little Seven-colored poked its head from Kurumi's sleeve.

Kurumi sent Red Queen out with Little Seven-colored to explore the Snake People capital, where Red Queen joyfully rode her at high speed. They ran into Queen Medusa and Gu Xun'er, and Red Queen realized that Xun'er was Kurumi's sister.

As the Black Annihilation Army left the Northwest Continent, Qing Lin became the heir to two powerful factions and Medusa began preparing to expand the Snake People tribe’s influence. Kurumi tried to create a body for Red Queen, but the attempt revealed that the world rejected body cultivators and might expel Kurumi if her bloodline fully became Divine.

• The Black Annihilation Army departed for Central Plains, leaving Gu Hua in command and Gu Mo to pursue retirement and a breakthrough to Half-Saint.
• Qing Lin formally became Medusa’s disciple and inherited the teachings of both the Snake People tribe and the Heavenly Snake Manor, while Medusa planned a future war in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

• Kurumi’s Divine Bloodline caused the forming body’s flesh and bones to separate, and Red Queen used simulations to identify the cause.
• Red Queen told Kurumi that the world rejected body cultivators and could kill or forcibly expel her if her bloodline completely transformed into Divine Bloodline.

Red Queen helped refine a new body for Little Seven-colored and transferred her soul into it, creating a majestic Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. Red Queen judged that Little Seven-colored could evolve further, but her bloodline was insufficient, so Kurumi produced a drop of Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python essence blood.

• Kurumi gave Red Queen more Ninth-grade Bloodline, and Red Queen fused it with her magical beast core to create a new body.
• After returning to the clan, Kurumi brought Red Queen and Little Seven-colored to a Ninth-grade Alchemist, where Red Queen identified flaws in the refined body and guided its modifications.

The chapter ended with Kurumi holding Gu Mo’s seal as the Black Annihilation Army’s new Grand Commander amid rising maneuvering over the Four Commanders’ positions.

Kurumi and Red Queen advanced their investigation of the Soul Clan while Red Queen became a ninth-tier treasure-pill alchemist and strengthened Kurumi’s cultivation and body.

• Gu Sujin guessed that the Ye Family had arranged Lin Yiyi’s marriage because they suspected her rapid progress came from a secret treasure.
