• Chen Mo discovered that the Space Turbulence had stopped his spaceship’s lightspeed cruise and damaged its Lightspeed Engine.
• Chen Mo placed the injured Long Yue in a medical pod to heal her wounds from the spatial turbulence.
• Mo Nv could not determine the spaceship’s location because it detected no marked pulsars, and the Little Female Beast confirmed they had been carried into an unknown space.
• Chen Mo ordered the backup engine activated and set course for a nearby unknown oxygen-rich planet, with arrival estimated in fourteen days.

Chen Mo landed on a planet with five times Earth’s gravity and explored its alien ecosystem in battle armor. Elsewhere, Tuo Li faced a deadly Black Beast, but the chapter ended before revealing what saved him.

• Chen Mo and Long Yue approached a lush planet, and Mo Nv warned that its gravity was five times the standard.
• Chen Mo landed on a coastal plain, adjusted the ship’s interior gravity, and learned that the atmosphere was tolerable but the soil contained unknown harmful bacteria and heavy metals.
• Chen Mo left the ship in battle armor, endured the planet’s crushing gravity, and scanned the surrounding lifeforms.
• Tuo Li secretly hunted in the jungle and encountered a Black Beast, which knocked him against a tree and sent his spear flying.
• The Black Beast lunged at Tuo Li, but he heard a howl and discovered that the expected attack had not reached him.

Chen Mo rescued Tuo Li from a black tiger and used a translator to learn about the Man Mountain Tribe. Tuo Li led him to the settlement, where Chen Mo arrived dragging the beast’s corpse.
