Chapter Summaries

Murong Xue used Wen Ke’er's power to overwhelm her enemies and learned how formidable her own abilities could become. After Shimada Kōmitsu admitted the nearby Shelters’ subordinates would not cooperate, Murong Xue launched three miniature energy crystals, which silently erased everything across a vast area.

• Wen Ke'er briefly inhabited Murong Xue's body, amplifying her mental abilities as Murong Xue killed the attackers and snipers.
• Shimada Kōmitsu knelt before Murong Xue, apologized for failing to control the Shelter leaders, and said their subordinates were uncooperative.
• Murong Xue ordered Shimada Kōmitsu to retreat as Wen Ke'er questioned whether she meant to use the miniature energy crystals.
• Murong Xue sent three crystals toward the seven small Shelters she had detected and triggered them in the sky.
• The crystals released silent blue radiance that devoured everything within nearly eighty kilometers, leaving Shimada Kōmitsu staring at the destruction.

Murong Xue used a miniature energy crystal to annihilate a vast area of Neon Country, leaving Shimada Kōmitsu stunned and Wen Ke'er shaken. Shen Yi revealed that the crystal had also tested Wen Ke'er’s loyalty, and Fei Mi asked when she could become like his other women.

• Murong Xue's miniature energy crystal obliterated everything across several enormous craters, including the survivors who had opposed Shimada Kōmitsu.
• Murong Xue and Wen Ke'er reacted to the destruction, then decided to return while Shimada Kōmitsu remained frozen in shock.
• Fei Mi questioned whether Shen Yi could trust Wen Ke'er with such a weapon, and Shen Yi said he was satisfied with the result and had used the crystal to test her.
• Shen Yi explained that Wen Ke'er would have died if she had tried to make the crystal explode, and Fei Mi realized he had been wary of her.
• Fei Mi softly asked Shen Yi when she could be like his other women.

Shen Yi comforted Fei Mi as she fell asleep, then learned Murong Xue had secured the remaining Shelters in Neon Country. Murong Xue brought three women to him, including Hayakawa Yoko’s older sister, Hayakawa Kika, whom the system identified as meeting its standards.

• Fei Mi admitted she felt Shen Yi treated her differently from the other women, then leaned against him and fell asleep.
• Shen Yi emerged from the ice crystal and asked Murong Xue what had happened.
• Murong Xue reported that Shimada Kōmitsu had taken control of the remaining Shelters in Neon Country without resistance.
• Shen Yi agreed to have Murong Xue bring over the women she had found for him.
• Shimada Kōmitsu arrived with three women, and Murong Xue introduced one as Hayakawa Yoko’s biological older sister.
• The system identified Hayakawa Kika as a qualifying goddess and stated that taking her in could unlock a random resource.

Shen Yi questioned Hayakawa Kika about her sister Hayakawa Yoko, then ignored the nations seeking his favor after the destruction in Neon Country. As Shen Yi and the others entered the Shelter, Shimada Kōmitsu declared Neon Country effectively finished, while Aljoun attacked Jaid over White Elephant Country’s failure to win Shen Yi’s goodwill.

• Shen Yi asked Hayakawa Kika whether she and Hayakawa Yoko were sisters, and she confirmed that they were.
• Shen Yi recognized that other countries were reacting to the destruction in Neon Country, but told Murong Xue not to respond to their attempts to curry favor.
• A vortex carried Shen Yi and the others away, and Shimada Kōmitsu told his aide to ignore messages from White Elephant Country and Goryeo Country.
• Aljoun angrily kicked Jaid after White Elephant Country failed to get a response from Xia Country.
• Jaid argued that Neon Country’s silence did not prove Lord Shen had taken it over, since there would have been no need for him to destroy the land.

Aljoun learned that Xia Country might have destroyed Neon Country just as someone reported that Xia Country's people had arrived. In Mountain City, Lin Zhiwei showed Shen Yi a stable creature made from four fused Black Fog consciousnesses, while Wen Ke'er delivered a stone that could help locate Fei Mi's plane.

• Jaid warned Aljoun that Neon Country might have been wiped out after its people stopped responding, and a messenger announced that Xia Country's people had arrived.
• Lin Tu wondered whether Shen Yi had become undisciplined after hearing sounds from his bedroom, while Fei Mi waited outside with cotton in her ears.
• Lin Zhiwei brought Shen Yi a sample containing four Black Fog consciousnesses that her experiments had successfully fused into one stable body.
• Lin Zhiwei said she could mass-produce the battlefield creatures within half a month, though they would consume many resources and might become uncontrollable.
• Wen Ke'er examined the sample and gave Shen Yi a black stone that could help locate information about Fei Mi's plane, at the cost of some of his power.

Shen Yi considered using a black stone and Lord Enrosis's relic to open a passage to Fei Mi's Shadow World, but Wen Ke'er and Lin Zhiwei warned him about the risks. He agreed to postpone the trip while he organized his abilities, leaving the return to the Shadow World as a future goal.

• Wen Ke'er explained that the black stone needed about five days to gather enough power to open a passage to the Shadow World.
• Shen Yi said the Psionic Energy drain was within acceptable limits, and Fei Mi asked whether using it might go out of control.
• Wen Ke'er warned that the Shadow World could contain powerful threats, and Lin Zhiwei urged Shen Yi not to rush into crossing planes.
• Fei Mi explained that Psionic Energy users were rare in her world and that she had heard no reports of the strongest beings losing control.
• Shen Yi agreed to put off the journey while he sorted out his abilities, though he understood Fei Mi's desire to return home.

Fei Mi set aside her urgency to return home while Shen Yi considered the risks of going to the Shadow World. In the laboratory, Shimada Yukimi awakened as a mysterious soul fragment empowered her, and Fei Mi sensed that Shimada Yukimi was on the verge of losing control.

• Fei Mi told Shen Yi she would rather stay than risk losing him, and Wen Ke'er teased him about coaxing women before fleeing in embarrassment.
• Lin Zhiwei returned to observing Shimada Yukimi, while Fei Mi left Shen Yi to rest and think about the Shadow World.
• Shimada Yukimi opened her eyes in the cultivation tank, and a mysterious soul merged a fragment into her body, greatly replenishing her soul and strength.
• Wen Ke'er sensed the disturbance and arrived at the laboratory, where Shen Yi, Fei Mi, and Lin Zhiwei soon joined her.
• Fei Mi sensed Shimada Yukimi's rapidly rising Psionic Energy and warned that she was on the verge of losing control.

Shimada Yukimi awoke after a mysterious soul mutation, gaining overwhelming power as most of the energy surrounding her dissipated. She recognized Shen Yi through Winnie’s memories and began recovering under Lin Zhiwei’s care.

• Wen Ke'er and Fei Mi watched as immense power around Shimada Yukimi contracted after she absorbed all she could.
• Shimada Yukimi awoke, and Shen Yi held back from using his ability after sensing no hostility from her soul.
• Shimada Yukimi recognized Shen Yi and explained that Winnie had told her about him before disappearing.
• Shimada Yukimi’s power proved far greater than Wen Ke'er’s, and Fei Mi and Lin Zhiwei helped her out of the cultivation tank.
• Lin Zhiwei advised Shimada Yukimi to stay and recover while her body adjusted to its sudden changes.

Shimada Yukimi explained that she had used part of her soul to restore some of Shimada Yukimi’s damaged soul, at the cost of prolonging her recovery. She revealed the Shadow World to the others, and Shen Yi appeared ready to go there with her.

• Shimada Yukimi said that she had supplied part of her soul to repair damage caused by the Black Fog, though using her power would further reduce Shimada Yukimi’s lifespan.
• Shimada Yukimi said her power could only be used briefly in emergencies and had a limit, except when facing Shen Yi.
• Shimada Yukimi drew power from Fei Mi and revealed a vision of the Shadow World, where armored soldiers, liches, and succubi inhabited a dark, dangerous land.
• Fei Mi said the Shadow World had once been peaceful, while Lin Zhiwei worried that Blue Star might have suffered a similar fate without Shen Yi.
• Shimada Yukimi said she could go to the Shadow World with Lord Shen, and Shen Yi acknowledged that he had been planning to go.

Shimada Yukimi demonstrated her immense power and left to visit her brother, while Shen Yi’s group discussed the limits of her abilities. Long Aoshuang reported that White Elephant Country had been quickly defeated and Goryeo Country had offered to surrender control, leaving Shen Yi to decide how to handle its envoy.

• Shen Yi agreed to set off with Shimada Yukimi the day after tomorrow and told her to inform him before acting.
• Shimada Yukimi used spatial power to leave, and Wen Ke'er explained that relying on her immense power cost her lifespan and that her body remained controlled by her former self.
• Lin Zhiwei wondered whether Shen Yi had spared people from Neon Country to restrain Shimada Yukimi, but Wen Ke'er could not confirm that he had known about the other soul.
• Long Aoshuang reported that her forces had defeated White Elephant Country, cleared out its Black Mist Mutated Beasts, and eliminated the leader of its largest Shelter.
• Long Aoshuang told Shen Yi that Goryeo Country had sent a woman to offer goodwill and hand over control, and Shen Yi asked who they had sent.

Shen Yi decided to take Fei Mi and Shimada Yukimi to the Shadow World, while Fei Mi wrestled with uncertainty about who she was. Wen Ke'er sought advice from Lin Zhiwei on winning Shen Yi's favor and received a blunt lesson in saying less.

• Shen Yi told Wen Ke'er to prepare herself and Fei Mi to accompany him to the Shadow World.
• Fei Mi worried that Shimada Yukimi might no longer be herself, but Shen Yi reassured her and promised they would return to Fei Mi's world.
• Wen Ke'er criticized Fei Mi, who left the laboratory alone, and Shen Yi told Lin Zhiwei to give her time.
• Wen Ke'er asked Lin Zhiwei how to win Shen Yi's favor, and Lin Zhiwei advised her to talk less and avoid irrelevant remarks.

Shimada Yukimi prepared to accompany Shen Yi to the Shadow World, reassuring her brother Shimada Kōmitsu while explaining that the journey might give her a chance to help resolve the Black Fog. She demonstrated her growing power by calming a mutated wild cat, leaving Shimada Kōmitsu astonished.

• Shimada Kōmitsu mourned Shimada Yukimi’s departure as she said she would travel to another world with Shen Yi and promised to return, though she could not guarantee it.
• Shimada Yukimi praised Shimada Kōmitsu for not resisting Shen Yi and explained that their current safety depended on avoiding his anger, while success in her gamble might save Neon Country and end the Black Fog.
• Shimada Kōmitsu doubted that the Black Fog could be resolved, but Shimada Yukimi pointed to the strange fog still escaping from the damaged ground and reminded him how much had changed since Shen Yi arrived.
• Shimada Yukimi seized a mutated wild cat with invisible force and dispelled its Black Fog-induced frenzy, leaving it calm and curious as Shimada Kōmitsu watched in shock.

Shimada Yukimi explained that her power could only suppress the Black Fog in Mutated Beasts, not purify them without leaving them near death, and wondered whether a person could be similarly contaminated and controlled. In Mountain City, Shen Yi prepared to travel through a void gate, and Shimada Yukimi arrived, seemingly resolved to give herself wholly to him.

• Shimada Yukimi revealed that the black cat had only been temporarily calmed and that fully purifying creatures already changed by the Black Fog would leave them powerless and near death.
• Shimada Kōmitsu asked whether Lord Shen could help, and Yukimi wondered what would happen if a person were contaminated and taken over by a powerful force.
• In Shen Yi’s bedroom, Wen Ke’er recovered her strength and sealed the void gate so that only she and Shen Yi could permit anything to pass through.
• Karen reported that Long Aoshuang was busy handling the countries seeking Xia Country’s favor and would not see Shen Yi off.
• Shimada Yukimi arrived and reassured the others, while Shen Yi sensed that she had become ready to give herself to him completely.

Shen Yi and the women entered the Shadow World, where Fei Mi reacted angrily to the hostile environment and two Pig-headed Orcs approached them. After the Orcs revealed their greed and threatened the group, Shen Yi used his psychic force to extract information from them.

• Shen Yi brought Fei Mi, Wen Ke'er, and Shimada Yukimi through a portal into the Shadow World’s foul, storm-wracked desert.
• Fei Mi felt an unexplained anger and discomfort in the Shadow World, while Shen Yi reassured her that they could return to Blue Star.
• Shimada Yukimi spotted two approaching creatures, and Shen Yi sensed their physical strength was comparable to that of ability users above level thirty.
• The group met two Pig-headed Orcs, who discussed the women greedily and planned to kill Shen Yi and divide them between themselves.
• Shen Yi enveloped the Pig-headed Orcs in psychic force, obtained information from them, and quickly withdrew his power.

Shen Yi learned about the Orc race from two Pig-headed Orcs, erased their memories of meeting the group, and had Wen Ke'er mark them so they could be tracked. When the marked orcs returned to their tribe, the group sensed they had found a human and went to investigate.

• Shen Yi read the Pig-headed Orcs' memories, and Wen Ke'er planted mental marks on them before the group left.
• Shen Yi explained that the Orc race numbered more than three hundred thousand and that Xidis and Puzhuo were names the orcs feared.
• Shen Yi asked Fei Mi whether other Elf race members lived in the Shadow World, but she said she did not know.
• Wen Ke'er sensed the marked Pig-headed Orcs returning to their tribe and becoming excited about a creature there.
• Shimada Yukimi identified the creature as a human, and the group decided to go take a look.

Shen Yi reprimanded Wen Ke'er and Shimada Yukimi for questioning his decision not to approach the Orc outpost, then shared the memories he had extracted to explain the danger. Fei Mi recovered fragments of her past and revealed that the Elf race had gone extinct more than three hundred years ago.

• Shen Yi warned Wen Ke'er and Shimada Yukimi that further unauthorized moves would leave them stranded in the Shadow World.
• Shen Yi led Fei Mi away from the Orc outpost, which he had avoided because its scent markers could expose them and he lacked information about the Orcs’ powerful leaders.
• Fei Mi told Shen Yi she felt uneasy in the Shadow World and insecure because fragments of her memories were returning.
• Shen Yi sent the extracted Orc memories into Wen Ke'er and Shimada Yukimi’s minds, showing them why he had refused to approach the camp.
• Fei Mi recalled that Orcs feared the Demon and Elf races, and she told Wen Ke'er that the Elf race had gone extinct more than three hundred years ago.

Shimada Yukimi rescued a human from three Orcs, but his memories revealed he had planned to betray his rescuers, so Shen Yi killed him. After learning how humans were treated as food in the Shadow World, Shen Yi decided not to head to the outskirts.

• Fei Mi told Shimada Yukimi that the Elf race had gone extinct, but Wen Ke'er questioned whether that applied to Elves from other worlds.
• Wen Ke'er sensed three Orcs approaching with a human, and Shen Yi sent six powerful Shadow Puppets to guard her and Fei Mi while Shimada Yukimi went to intervene.
• Shimada Yukimi killed the Orcs and brought the frightened human back to Shen Yi and the others.
• Wen Ke'er read the man's memories and discovered he had considered trading them to the Orcs, and Shen Yi burned him to ash.
• Wen Ke'er explained that humans in the Shadow World were treated as food, and Shen Yi said they were not heading to the outskirts.

Shen Yi brought Fei Mi, Wen Ke'er, and Shimada Yukimi to Fenghao, a devastated human settlement, hoping the place would stir Fei Mi’s memories. As a powerful Succubus approached, Fei Mi reacted to the familiar aura, leaving Shen Yi quietly satisfied that his plan was working.

• Shen Yi transported Fei Mi, Wen Ke'er, and Shimada Yukimi to Fenghao, where Fei Mi sensed a vague familiarity.
• Shen Yi explained that Fenghao had once been a human settlement built underground to evade the Orcs and Goblins.
• Wen Ke'er sensed that Succubi had recently massacred the town’s inhabitants, while Shimada Yukimi detected a few humans still alive below.
• Fei Mi’s heartbeat quickened as a powerful aura approached, disrupting Wen Ke'er and Shimada Yukimi with its intensity.
• Shimada Yukimi identified the approaching figure as another Succubus, and Shen Yi watched Fei Mi’s reaction with a faint, satisfied smile.

A powerful Succubus confronted Fei Mi and dismissed her as a defective outcast, while Shen Yi held back and tried to learn about her past. Fei Mi asked for more time, and Shen Yi placed her inside a barrier that slowed everything around her as the Succubus taunted the Elves.

• A powerful Succubus arrived, restrained Wen Ke'er and Fei Mi, and questioned Fei Mi about her origins.
• The Succubus decided Fei Mi was a discarded defective and contemptuously told her to get lost.
• The Succubus inspected Wen Ke'er while Shen Yi urged her to hold back and promised to make it up to her.
• Shen Yi asked Fei Mi whether she remembered anything, and Fei Mi begged for a little more time.
• Shen Yi enclosed Fei Mi in a barrier that slowed the surrounding sand and everything around her.
• The Succubus gloated that the Elves had not been wiped out but had fallen from grace.

Wen Ke'er broke free of the Succubus's Restriction and sealed away her powers, while Shen Yi offered to help repair Wen Ke'er's rebuilt body. Shen Yi suspected Fei Mi was unusually different from other Succubi, but Wen Ke'er said searching the captive Succubus's memories was too dangerous.

• The Succubus taunted Wen Ke'er and accused the Elves of keeping humans as livestock.
• Wen Ke'er shattered the Restriction, stopped the Succubus from teleporting or using her powers, and praised Shen Yi's earlier actions.
• Shen Yi gave Wen Ke'er energy crystals and offered to help repair the flaws in her rebuilt body.
• Shimada Yukimi confirmed that no one had searched the Succubus's memories and wondered whether Shen Yi had anticipated the situation.
• Shen Yi considered why the system had not reacted to the Succubus and concluded that Fei Mi was unlike other Succubi.
• Wen Ke'er told Shen Yi that forcing a memory search on the powerful Succubus could backfire and injure her.
