Chapter Summaries

Shen Yi brought the blue-skinned Shadow humans to the Shelter and arranged for Fei Mi to help them learn and cultivate. After receiving Shaping Foundation from the System, he used Wen Ke'er’s blood to activate it, then swallowed the mysterious substance it produced.

• Wen Ke'er pressed Long Aoshuang for news about Murong Xue and learned that Murong Xue was exhausted but safe.
• Shen Yi placed the blue-skinned Shadow humans outside his room and asked Fei Mi whether Blue Star could support their Psionic Energy cultivation.
• Fei Mi said the environment was sufficient for them to begin cultivating and left to broaden their horizons.
• After Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er were alone, the System awarded Shen Yi Shaping Foundation for taking in a goddess.
• Shen Yi used a drop of Wen Ke'er's blood to activate the Shaping Foundation, which produced a mysterious sphere with the aura of the Elf race.
• Shen Yi swallowed the sphere before Wen Ke'er could finish asking what it was.

Shen Yi discovered that the Shaping Foundation could create pills that produced the aura of the race represented by their source material, though a weak dose barely affected him. Wen Ke'er offered blood infused with part of her soul and power for a stronger attempt, while Shimada Yukimi briefly appeared and then vanished with Winnie.

• After Shen Yi swallowed a sphere made from Wen Ke'er's blood, a faint, pure Elf aura appeared around him and astonished Wen Ke'er.
• Shen Yi explained that the Shaping Foundation created pills based on extracted material and that the weak aura could not meaningfully alter someone who already possessed power.
• Wen Ke'er grew excited at the possibility of creating an Elf aura and used her power to make the plants in Shen Yi's room grow rapidly.
• Wen Ke'er gave Shen Yi another drop of blood infused with part of her soul and condensed power to strengthen the effect.
• Shimada Yukimi appeared with Winnie's presence barely detectable, reassured Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er through their minds, and vanished with Winnie.

Wen Ke'er and Shen Yi continued shaping a new foundation while Fu Yunxi led a patrol that killed a rapidly healing Black Mist Mutated Beast. Fu Yunxi returned to the Shelter and found Fei Mi with the blue-skinned native humans Shen Yi had brought back from the Shadow World.

• Wen Ke'er sensed Winnie within Shimada Yukimi, but Shen Yi said he would proceed without them and created another Shaping Foundation.
• Fu Yunxi directed her squad to corner and destroy a fast Black Mist Mutated Beast using Lord Shen's equipment.
• Fu Yunxi hurried back to the Shelter, missing Shen Yi and sensing that he had returned through the Mental Link.
• Fu Yunxi found Fei Mi and several dozen blue-skinned people in the Shelter, whom Fei Mi identified as native humans from the Shadow World.
• Fu Yunxi suggested synchronizing mentally to communicate with the newcomers, but Fei Mi said it was not that simple.

Fei Mi frightened the blue-skinned humans into listening, while Shen Yi tested the Shaping Foundation and summoned Nila Shun. Nila eagerly swallowed a bead made from Wen Ke’er's blood, beginning an experiment into how it would affect her powers.

• Fei Mi used her oppressive aura to silence the blue-skinned humans and warned Fu Yunxi that the other women might return.
• Shen Yi destroyed the cube and concluded that the Shaping Foundation could replicate only a fraction of his power while slowly and continuously altering creatures through extracts.
• Nila Shun appeared after Fei Mi implanted basic language memories in her, and Shen Yi asked whether she would undertake an important task.
• Shen Yi offered Nila Shun a bead of blood that might grant great power but change her appearance, and she swallowed it immediately.
• Shen Yi explained to Wen Ke'er that the extract could give Nila Shun an elven aura without erasing her native Psionic Energy, and Nila's eyes lost their color.

Nila Shun transformed into a weak Elf while Shen Yi assured Wen Ke'er that taking the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha had left no trace. In the Shadow World, Kolun sought to revive Mei Fu with the Elf Tree, and the woman helping him snapped back at being called an old woman.

• Nila Shun's skin and aura changed as she transformed into the second Elf on Blue Star.
• Wen Ke'er wondered whether stealing the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha was safe and described how its petals had helped her recover her original body.
• Shen Yi said he had erased every trace of their presence and believed no one could trace the theft.
• Kolun knelt before the Elf Tree with shattered pale-green gemstones and asked whether Mei Fu could be brought back to life.
• A dazzling woman told Kolun to focus, then protested when he called someone an old woman.

Xilos and Biers discussed their secret alliance before Xilos began using the Nether Moon Wheel to reconstruct Mei Fu’s soul. Biers questioned why Mei Fu had chosen to dissolve herself, while Xilos ignored her and continued the work.

• Xilos warned Biers to keep their collusion to deceive the Twilight Abyss overseers secret from Biers’s eldest brother.
• Biers explained that her eldest brother had refused to give Xilos the Orc race’s last portion of the Spirit of Purity, and Xilos accepted the Nether Moon Wheel Kolun had found as compensation.
• Kolun questioned whether Biers should remain nearby while Xilos reconstructed Mei Fu’s soul, but Xilos proceeded with the Nether Moon Wheel.
• Biers asked why Mei Fu had dissolved herself despite the Elf race’s decline, and Xilos told her to be quiet or leave.

Xilos tried to reassemble Mei Fu’s scattered soul, but Mei Fu’s strong resistance made the revival uncertain. Xilos promised to lead the elves out of the Bottom of the Rock Prison within a month and waited for Mei Fu to choose whether to return.

• Biers stayed with Xilos and urged her to be patient, while Xilos insisted Biers still needed to return to the Orc race.
• Xilos linked fragments of Mei Fu’s soul as green light drawn from the Elf Tree revealed Mei Fu’s memories and longing to escape the Rock Prison.
• Xilos gently urged Mei Fu not to resist, promising that she had found a new path for the Elf race.
• Xilos stopped her attempt and promised to take the elves away within a month, saying she would respect Mei Fu’s choice.

Xilos told Biers that the elves would leave the Bottom of the Rock Prison within a month because the other races had failed to honor their agreement, accepting the burden of how that choice would be judged. On Blue Star, Wen Ke'er urged Shen Yi to show Nila Shun different powers so the newborn elf could choose her direction.

• Xilos confirmed that she would end the elves' vigil at the Bottom of the Rock Prison and turned to repairing Mei Fu's shattered soul.
• Xilos sent Biers away, and Kolun worried that the other races would blame the elves for abandoning the seal.
• Xilos told Kolun that she would not let the elves keep declining to uphold the old agreement, regardless of what others said.
• At the Mountain City Shelter, Wen Ke'er explained that Nila Shun's pure aura would choose a power direction as she became an elf.
• Shen Yi displayed several powers for Nila Shun, while Wen Ke'er raised a spatial barrier and Nila watched in amazement.

Shen Yi demonstrated his many powerful abilities while examining the changes in Nila Shun’s soul after transforming her into an elf. Once he offered her a choice of elemental powers, Nila Shun selected ice, surprising Wen Ke'er.

• Shen Yi withdrew his shifting powers after Wen Ke'er and Nila Shun watched in astonishment.
• Wen Ke'er explained that Nila Shun’s pure aura would change when she absorbed an elemental power, as hers had changed after contact with Black Fog.
• Shen Yi said he had been examining the changes in Nila Shun’s soul, and Nila Shun thanked him tearfully.
• Shen Yi displayed several elemental lights before Nila Shun so she could choose her power.
• Nila Shun pointed to the ice crystal, surprising Wen Ke'er, who had expected her to choose a basic element.

Nila Shun rapidly transformed after absorbing Shen Yi’s ice crystal, chilling his bedroom as Wen Ke’er watched in surprise. Shimada Yukimi returned from Neon Country and reported that Black Fog anomalies had appeared across several countries, adding that she had discovered something new.

• Nila Shun absorbed the ice crystal from Shen Yi and began changing rapidly, her aura and body taking on an icy nature.
• Wen Ke’er warned that Nila Shun’s power could damage the room, while Shen Yi examined her transformation.
• The bedroom grew cold enough to frost the windows, and Lin Tu briefly checked on Shen Yi before leaving at his request.
• Shimada Yukimi returned and told Shen Yi that Black Fog anomalies had appeared in Neon Country, Goryeo Country, and other countries around Xia Country.
• Shimada Yukimi assured Shen Yi that Neon Country was all right and said she had discovered something new.

Shimada Yukimi showed Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er a new kind of Black Mist Mutated Beast from Neon Country, far stronger and more aggressive than the familiar beasts. After it attacked Shen Yi and was restrained, Shimada unleashed a powerful force tinged with golden light.

• Shimada Yukimi explained that the new Mutated Beasts were much stronger than before and belonged to a different system from the old ones.
• Shimada Yukimi brought a Neon Country Mutated Beast into a Restriction with a Mountain City beast, and the newcomer quickly killed and devoured it.
• Wen Ke'er and Shimada Yukimi observed that the new beast remained violent even after eating, healed rapidly, and could threaten vulnerable Shelters if it appeared in large numbers.
• Shimada Yukimi released the new beast, and it lunged at Shen Yi before freezing less than half a meter from him.
• Shimada Yukimi restrained the beast as a powerful force with a trace of golden light surged forth.

Shimada Yukimi demonstrated that she could suppress the Black Fog-disturbed consciousness of a newly transformed Mutated Beast, leaving it docile while her power remained in place. She concluded that new Mutated Beasts may be more controllable than older ones, though the chapter left open what that might mean for humans like Wen Ke'er.

• Shimada Yukimi used Winnie's power to calm a new Black Fog Mutated Beast and make it docile.
• Shimada Yukimi explained that the Beast would stay calm as long as she maintained her suppression, then released it and watched it turn violent again.
• Wen Ke'er worried that the same kind of suppression might apply to her, and Shimada Yukimi said her condition was too unusual to compare directly.
• Shen Yi recognized that Shimada Yukimi was suppressing the Beast's corrupted consciousness rather than reversing the power Black Fog had given it.
• Shimada Yukimi concluded that newly born Mutated Beasts might be more controllable than older ones.

Shimada Yukimi explained that newly emerged Mutated Beasts could be controlled more easily than older ones because they instinctively submit to superior power. Shen Yi asked how much effort it would take to control them, while Fu Yunxi struggled to recognize Wen Ke'er after her change in appearance.

• Wen Ke'er questioned the value of controlling Black Mist Mutated Beasts, and Shen Yi invited Shimada Yukimi to explain her findings.
• Shimada Yukimi said older Mutated Beasts had basic survival instincts and resisted control, while Shen Yi recalled Lin Zhiwei's unsuccessful experiments.
• Fu Yunxi burst into the room, greeted Shen Yi, complained about teaching Shelter residents to use weapons, and failed to recognize Wen Ke'er.
• Shen Yi introduced Nila Shun as a human from the Shadow World and told Wen Ke'er to stop teasing Fu Yunxi.
• Shimada Yukimi explained that newly emerged Mutated Beasts had little intelligence and would submit to stronger power, unlike older beasts that might retaliate.
• Shen Yi asked Shimada Yukimi about the success rate and the power needed to control the new Mutated Beasts.

Shen Yi questioned Shimada Yukimi about converting Black Mist Mutated Beasts, then Winnie appeared and warned that trying to remove the stronger Black Fog erosion from Yukimi would worsen its invasion. The chapter ended with Winnie advising them to suppress the erosion instead of removing it.

• Shimada Yukimi said she could convert only about forty percent of the Mutated Beasts and handle thirty-something a day, while Shen Yi asked whether suppressing a group at once would affect the results.
• Winnie’s soul projection appeared and criticized Shen Yi, prompting Fu Yunxi to defend him and Shimada Yukimi to panic over Winnie revealing her private opinion of him.
• Wen Ke'er and Fu Yunxi were stunned by Winnie's extraordinary beauty.
• Winnie warned that the new Mutated Beasts produced nearly fifty percent stronger Black Fog erosion and that removing it from Yukimi again would cause a more severe invasion.
• Winnie advised Shen Yi and the others to suppress Yukimi's erosion as much as possible rather than remove it.

Winnie proposed suppressing the Black Mist Mutated Beasts rather than eliminating them, warning that a full purge could alert the true source and trigger worse erosion. She suggested Shen Yi use his domain to suppress them efficiently, but fled back into Shimada Yukimi after realizing his blunt gaze was flirtatious.

• Wen Ke'er wondered how Winnie knew about the Black Mist Rift, while Shen Yi asked what she thought they should do.
• Wen Ke'er deduced that killing all the Mutated Beasts could provoke a stronger backlash from the true source of the Black Fog.
• Winnie said she, Wen Ke'er, Fei Mi, and Shimada Yukimi could suppress the beasts, but Shen Yi could do far more with his domain.
• Shen Yi recognized that Winnie wanted him to use his domain to suppress the Mutated Beasts.
• Winnie called Shen Yi shameless and returned to Shimada Yukimi's body after interpreting his stare as an attempt to flirt with her.

Shen Yi prepared to return to the Shadow World to check on Xilos, whose situation might be affected by changes resembling those around the Black Mist Mutated Beasts on Blue Star. Fei Mi recognized the overwhelming elven aura of Nila Shun and warned that Xilos might mistake her for the resurrected Ancestor Lilith as Shen Yi opened a spatial rift.

• Fu Yunxi cursed the phantom that had entered Shimada Yukimi, and Shen Yi gave Fu Yunxi, Wen Ke'er, and Shimada Yukimi crystals for instant communication between worlds.
• Shen Yi said he was returning to the Shadow World to investigate Xilos's condition and ordered the others to suppress nearby Black Mist Mutated Beasts while prioritizing their safety.
• Fu Yunxi clung to Shen Yi and wished to accompany him, but he teased her and prepared to leave after a brief moment of tenderness.
• Fei Mi arrived and questioned Shen Yi's plan to return so soon, then noticed Nila Shun's powerful elven aura.
• Fei Mi said Xilos might mistake Nila Shun for Ancestor Lilith, and Shen Yi opened a spatial rift to the Shadow World.

Shen Yi returned to the Shadow World with Fei Mi and Nila Shun, only to find the underground labyrinth and city had vanished without a trace. He and Fei Mi considered how such a feat could have happened, while Shen Yi wondered whether the area had been relocated rather than destroyed.

• Fei Mi warned Shen Yi that returning to the Shadow World could be dangerous, but Shen Yi brought her and Nila Shun through the portal anyway.
• Shen Yi and Fei Mi arrived at the underground labyrinth and found that it and the underground city had disappeared, leaving an empty wasteland stretching for more than ten kilometers.
• Shen Yi observed that the Orc race nearby had not noticed the change and could sense no lingering aura of power.
• Fei Mi asked whether Shen Yi could erase such a vast area, and he said he could with lengthy preparation.
• Shen Yi reasoned that an instantaneous, undetectable destruction would have been noticed when they first entered the Shadow World, and wondered whether the labyrinth had been relocated instead.

Shen Yi suspected that the missing area had been transferred rather than destroyed, and he and Fei Mi returned to Rock Prison to ask Xilos about it. They learned that Xilos had gone to the Twilight Abyss to meet with the Overseers, so Shen Yi opened a portal to go there despite the sealed route.

• Shen Yi asked Fei Mi whether anything in the Shadow World could transfer two areas, and she cited the Elf race’s former relocation as a precedent.
• Shen Yi, Fei Mi, and Nila Shun returned to Rock Prison, where the Elves told them Xilos and the others had gone to the Twilight Abyss.
• The Elves said Xilos was discussing hired drivers with the Overseers at the second-level central plaza because the portal to the lower levels had been sealed.
• Shen Yi and Fei Mi discussed the Overseers’ unexpected involvement with the Succubus race, then Shen Yi decided to go see for himself.
• Despite Fei Mi’s warning about spatial restrictions, Shen Yi opened a portal toward the Twilight Abyss.

Fei Mi and Shen Yi returned to the Twilight Abyss while hidden observers investigated Shen Yi’s strange spatial power and searched for Polo Sha’s aura. At the portal, they found Xilos confronting an Overseer and Randall, whose unexpected presence alarmed Fei Mi.

• Two hidden figures emerged from the void after Fei Mi and Shen Yi left, discussed Shen Yi’s portal and the missing Polo Sha aura, then used the Chaos Space Ring to investigate elsewhere.
• Fei Mi suggested keeping Nila Shun out of sight, and Shen Yi brought her into his domain before heading toward the portal with Fei Mi.
• Shen Yi and Fei Mi found more than three hundred beings gathered around the portal, and Fei Mi led Shen Yi through the crowd without disguising him.
• They saw Xilos confronting an Overseer and Randall, and Fei Mi reacted with shock at Randall’s arrival.
• Shen Yi quietly asked Fei Mi who Randall was and whether she had an important background.

Shen Yi and Fei Mi watched Xilos face the Overseer and Randall, the Succubus Clan Leader, after learning the pair had made demands of her. As Xilos attacked and was driven back, Shen Yi suggested she had not yet shown her full strength.

• Fei Mi explained that Randall was the Succubus race’s current Clan Leader and warned Shen Yi about her seductive influence.
• Fei Mi told Shen Yi she had suppressed her own seductive aura because she wanted him to choose her without being influenced.
• Xilos launched a furious attack at the Overseer and Randall after they demanded the Elf Tree, a public apology, and a promise to comply with the Overseers.
• Onlookers speculated that the Orc race had already been dealt with and that Randall had joined the Overseer for some benefit.
• The Overseer and Randall blocked Xilos’s attack and sent her flying backward, but Shen Yi told Fei Mi that Xilos had not yet used her full strength.
