Chapter Summaries

Shen Yi tested whether the Shaping Foundation could help strengthen the people of Blue Star, but it could not absorb the overwhelming power of him or other beings with Authority. The chapter left him considering how to use it to gradually empower ordinary humans.

• Shen Yi agreed to let Xilos and Mei Fu attempt to transplant the Elf Tree, and they carried it away.
• Shen Yi gave Fei Mi, Shimada Yukimi, and Winnie Shaping Foundations and explained that they could transform users into the same kind of existence as the person whose power they absorbed.
• Shen Yi infused a Shaping Foundation with his blood, but it lost its luster and stopped responding.
• Fei Mi infused her blood into a Shaping Foundation, which began to emit the Succubus aura.
• Shimada Yukimi and Winnie tried their blood, but their Shaping Foundation also went dull and still.
• Shen Yi concluded that the Shaping Foundation could not handle power beyond its limits and considered using it to strengthen ordinary people on Blue Star.

Shen Yi gave Winnie Seven-Petaled Polo Sha after she warned that suddenly empowering ordinary people could lead to rebellion and instability. Winnie asked him to help her return to her original world, but she had no location or anchor point and instead proposed a different way to find it.

• Winnie warned Shen Yi that rapidly empowering Blue Star's ordinary people could cause them to change and turn against him, using Shimada Yukimi's memories of the Neon Country Shelter as an example.
• Fei Mi said such a change was possible but not inevitable, while Wen Ke'er objected to the idea of anyone betraying Shen Yi.
• Shen Yi gave Winnie a layer of Seven-Petaled Polo Sha as a deposit, and Winnie promised she could find more once her power recovered.
• Winnie asked Shen Yi how he had located the Shadow World and revealed that she wanted help reaching her original world, whose location she did not know.
• Winnie said she was exceptionally sensitive to her original world's aura and had a simpler way to find it, leaving Wen Ke'er doubtful.

Winnie proposed ways to find her original world, but Shen Yi and the others warned that her slow reverse-tracing plan could cost them too much time. As they considered a direct crossing instead, Shen Yi asked whether Winnie's world would reject him, and Winnie explained how a world's will could limit and punish outsiders.

• Winnie explained that reverse tracing would use her aura to search the void for signs of her original world, but Wen Ke'er pointed out that the process could take too long for people on Blue Star.
• Shen Yi stopped Wen Ke'er from arguing further and treated reverse tracing as a backup plan.
• Winnie suggested using her aura to force a crossing between worlds, and Shen Yi said his current strength might make that possible if the destination world did not reject him.
• Shen Yi privately asked Winnie whether her world would reject outsiders, and she explained that a world could limit an outsider's power and punish them if their power exceeded that limit.

Shen Yi considered the powers of Authority and how to strengthen the women around him, while Fei Mi revealed that she had planted a mark on a succubus that could give her a chance to lead the Succubus race. The chapter ended with Shen Yi asking Fei Mi what opportunity she needed to make that plan succeed.

• Shen Yi compared Winnie's Authority with the Crystal of Status and reflected on how it had transformed his powers and abilities.
• Shen Yi decided that the women around him should grow stronger rather than relying solely on his power.
• Fei Mi said the Shadow World seemed unusually peaceful since their return, and Winnie suggested Fei Mi hoped to take advantage of the chaos to bring the Succubus race under Shen Yi's protection.
• Winnie revealed that Fei Mi had secretly left a mark on a succubus that could help her become the Succubus race's leader if the right opportunity arose.
• Fei Mi clarified that the mark was only a seed and that taking over the Succubus race would still be difficult; Shen Yi asked what opportunity she needed.

Fei Mi explained that she wanted the Shadow World thrown into greater chaos so she could help Shen Yi take control of the Succubus race, but Shen Yi dismissed the idea and sent everyone away. He kept Shimada Yukimi behind, and after taking her in, unlocked the Void-breaking Stone resource, which seemed connected to spatial power.

• Fei Mi told Shen Yi that she hoped to seize control of the Succubus race during the Shadow World's turmoil and make its strength available to him.
• Shen Yi comforted Fei Mi, said he only needed her, and then dismissed the others when Winnie asked about further arrangements.
• Shen Yi ordered Shimada Yukimi to remain, and she approached him nervously and removed his armor.
• After Shimada Yukimi served Shen Yi, the system announced that it had unlocked the Void-breaking Stone resource and stored the stones in System Space.
• Shen Yi sensed the stones' spatial energy and realized they might provide the spatial ability he needed.

After receiving the Void-breaking Stone, Shen Yi dismissed Shimada Yukimi and let Fu Yunxi handle complaints from several vassal countries. He then gave Wen Ke'er a Void-breaking Stone and traveled with her to a shattered world.

• Shen Yi received the Void-breaking Stone and treated Shimada Yukimi as a mere tool, ordering her to help him dress.
• Fu Yunxi and Long Aoshuang reported that strange insects had been eliminated but several vassal countries objected to their use of force.
• Shen Yi told Fu Yunxi to deal with the troublesome countries herself, and she left to handle the matter.
• Shen Yi summoned Wen Ke'er and gave her a Void-breaking Stone to test.
• Wen Ke'er used the stone to take Shen Yi to a shattered world, where her face turned pale.

Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er entered a ruined otherworld consumed by Black Fog, where Wen Ke'er discovered that her remembered home had fallen in a crushing defeat. When hidden attackers ambushed them, Shen Yi destroyed their mountain-like psychic attacks and exposed the figures lurking in the fog.

• Shen Yi pulled Wen Ke'er back just before the ground where they appeared collapsed into nothingness and Black Fog swallowed it.
• Wen Ke'er saw that her former world had become a desolate battlefield and broke down after reading a monument that said, “We lost! A crushing defeat!”
• Figures hidden in the Black Fog attacked Wen Ke'er with fast projectiles and psychic-powered mountains, injuring her and overwhelming her defenses.
• Shen Yi split the mountains with a black slash, then summoned fire dragons that shattered another mountain and blasted the attackers into view.

Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er returned to Wen Ke'er's former world, where Shen Yi killed the Black Fog creatures that resembled her. Troubled by what she found, Wen Ke'er brought them back to the Shelter, where she explained the situation to Winnie and Shen Yi decided they would investigate further.

• Several Black Fog creatures resembling Wen Ke'er emerged and questioned her before attacking Shen Yi.
• Shen Yi used darkness, crushing force, and spikes to kill every Black Fog creature in a single exchange.
• Wen Ke'er inspected the bodies, sensed something was wrong with the world, and returned with Shen Yi to the Shelter using the Void-breaking Stone.
• Winnie sensed something unsettling about their return, examined a Void-breaking Stone Shen Yi gave her, and asked him for one in exchange for a favor.
• Wen Ke'er told Winnie what had happened in her former world, and Shen Yi proposed going back to investigate.

Shen Yi, Winnie, and Wen Ke'er discussed what they had found in Wen Ke'er's Black Fog-ravaged world and decided to return there together. Shen Yi agreed to bring Wen Ke'er, while Xilos stayed behind to cooperate with Fei Mi and follow Long Aoshuang's orders in the Shelter.

• Winnie questioned Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er about their visit to Wen Ke'er's world and whether they had learned anything about the Black Fog or found more Void-breaking Stones.
• Shen Yi said the mutated creatures they encountered offered little value, while Wen Ke'er felt grief at seeing members of her original race.
• Winnie asked to accompany Shen Yi, eager to test the Void-breaking Stone, but he withheld details and said they would not bring Fei Mi and the others because the world was too dangerous.
• Wen Ke'er asked to go with them and offered to help with her knowledge of her original world, and Shen Yi agreed.
• Shen Yi assigned Xilos to cooperate with Fei Mi and follow Long Aoshuang's orders in the Shelter, saying he would collect some interest from the Elf chieftain.

Wen Ke'er asked Shen Yi to take her with him despite the danger posed by the corrupted Elves and Enlosys, whom she suspected governed the Authority of life. Winnie concealed her plan to draw beings from her original world to her, while Shen Yi agreed to protect Wen Ke'er as they faced what came next.

• Wen Ke'er resolved to accompany Shen Yi, saying she would not hold him back this time.
• Winnie recalled a deadly War of Gods and reflected that Authority Holders could be defeated by stronger or opposing Authorities.
• Winnie considered her oath to Shen Yi and feared that bringing beings from her original world to him could trigger its conditions.
• Winnie asked Shen Yi whether Wen Ke'er could come, and he agreed, saying protecting her would not be difficult.
• Wen Ke'er thought about the corrupted Elves and Enlosys, and suspected that Enlosys held the Authority of life.

Wen Ke'er told Shen Yi and Winnie that Lord Enlosys had once held Authority and shared memories of her power over lifespan. They considered whether Enlosys and Winnie might have escaped the destruction of their worlds, but Shen Yi and Winnie pointed out that the world in Wen Ke'er's memories had already changed completely.

• Wen Ke'er said she had once sensed Lord Enlosys, an Authority Holder from her former world, but no longer could.
• Wen Ke'er shared her memories of Enlosys, revealing that Enlosys's Authority could greatly extend the lifespan of creatures within its reach.
• Shen Yi and Winnie recognized how terrifying the ability to grant or take away lifespan could be.
• Wen Ke'er suggested that Enlosys and Winnie might have escaped their worlds by teleporting themselves away after sending others to safety.
• Shen Yi and Winnie questioned why no one else had reached Wen Ke'er's former world and noted that it had already changed completely.

Shen Yi, Wen Ke'er, and Winnie used Void-breaking Stones to leave, while Fei Mi and Xilos worried over the Shadow World and the significance of Polo Sha. Xilos questioned Shen Yi’s origins and pledged to support him, even against the entire Shadow World.

• Shen Yi warned Wen Ke'er not to dwell on the past, then gave her and Winnie Void-breaking Stones and teleported away with them.
• Fei Mi and Xilos arrived too late to see Shen Yi and discussed the Shadow World’s uncertain stability.
• Xilos voiced concern about Polo Sha, and Fei Mi agreed that Shen Yi’s reaction to finding it suggested it mattered greatly.
• Xilos questioned whether Shen Yi came from this world because his power had grown so rapidly, and Fei Mi said he seemed to have no problems for now.
• Xilos vowed to support Shen Yi no matter what happened, even if it meant opposing the entire Shadow World.

Shen Yi, Winnie, and Wen Ke'er found that the ruined world had grown more dangerous and its fundamental laws were collapsing, though traces of Enrosis remained. As Winnie examined the lingering aura, a pale arrow suddenly tore through the space toward them.

• Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er observed that the Black Fog and corrosive power had intensified in the wasteland since their previous visit.
• Wen Ke'er estimated that time passed about thirty percent slower in this world than on Blue Star, while Shen Yi noted that the surroundings had changed drastically.
• Winnie sensed that the world's rules were falling into Disorder and that its time and space would eventually collapse.
• Shen Yi confirmed that Enrosis's aura still lingered, and Winnie pinched two thin strands of emerald light from the air.
• A pale arrow shot toward them, forcing Shen Yi to retreat a thousand meters with Winnie and Wen Ke'er as it tore through the distant Black Fog and nearly split the world.

Shen Yi, Winnie, and Wen Ke'er faced an Authority Holder who had tracked them across worlds to reclaim the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha. He sealed them inside a dead land and demanded the treasure, leaving them trapped under his threat.

• Wen Ke'er questioned the black-robed figure after Shen Yi pulled her out of the way of his lethal attack.
• The figure demanded that they return his treasure and warned that their world would be pursued if they resisted.
• Wen Ke'er and Winnie denied knowing what he sought, but the figure accused them of being tainted by the missing item.
• Shen Yi identified the figure as an Authority Holder and realized he had tracked the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha across worlds.
• The Authority Holder sealed the surrounding space in a dead land, suppressing Wen Ke'er and threatening that none of them would leave without the treasure.
• The Authority Holder accused Shen Yi of deceiving his junior in the Twilight Abyss.

Shen Yi, Winnie, and Wen Ke'er encountered a powerful black-robed figure who questioned them about the Twilight Abyss and the Black Fog. Shen Yi exposed the figure's layered illusions, and the group left wary that he might eventually track them to Blue Star.

• Wen Ke'er and Winnie denied harming anyone in the Twilight Abyss, and the black-robed figure returned them to a ruined world.
• Shen Yi told the figure they had come because of the Black Fog, and the figure insisted it had to be purged.
• Winnie challenged the figure's claim, explaining that suppressing the Black Fog only made it resist more fiercely.
• The black-robed figure suggested taking Winnie with him after noticing that her aura was unusual, but Shen Yi refused and pierced two layers of illusion with a finger.
• Wen Ke'er realized they had been deceived, and Winnie warned that the figure's true body could not appear there.
• Shen Yi led the group away, cautioning that the figure might one day track them to Blue Star.

After exposing an illusion cast by a powerful enemy seeking the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha, Shen Yi told Winnie to absorb the petals and confronted her when she provoked him. As Shen Yi’s dark power stopped just short of killing her, a seven-colored box appeared in the shattered space.

• Wen Ke'er and Winnie questioned Shen Yi about the illusionist, and Shen Yi said the man had come for the Seven-Petaled Polo Sha.
• Shen Yi concluded that Winnie’s earlier exposure to the petals at Mountain City Shelter had allowed the enemy to track them, and he ordered her to absorb the remaining petals she had.
• Winnie’s power surged after she absorbed the petals, and she challenged Shen Yi by asking whether he feared she would join the enemy.
• Shen Yi seized Winnie’s wrist and threatened to kill her and Shimada Yukimi if either betrayed him, while Winnie mocked his ability to protect everyone.
• Wen Ke'er tried to stop the confrontation, but Shen Yi’s dark power nearly collapsed the surrounding space before halting just before Winnie’s forehead.
• A small, dreamlike box shimmering with seven-colored light appeared in the shattered space.

Wen Ke'er explained the uncertain history of Enrosis's legendary box, which was believed to hold the power to revive all living beings. Shen Yi decided to take it despite the risks and began enveloping it in chaotic power to handle it cautiously.

• Wen Ke'er told Shen Yi and the others that Enrosis had supposedly created the box from a planet's origin, but its existence and effects had never been verified.
• Shen Yi warned Winnie not to touch things that left no room for compromise, while Wen Ke'er defended Winnie and questioned her strange attitude toward Shen Yi.
• Shen Yi asked whether Winnie knew the box's effects, but she admitted she did not; they agreed that its life aura was extraordinarily dense.
• Shen Yi decided to take the box, then surrounded it with chaotic aura and space as its seven-colored light transformed into pale mist.

Shen Yi removed the box by cutting away the space around it, causing the already-dying world to collapse faster. He and Winnie considered whether the box could help them trace Enrosis, and Winnie explained how a connection to a stored aura could reveal an Authority Holder’s location.

• Shen Yi cut away and took the space surrounding the box, leaving the world without its stabilizing connection to it.
• The world began to collapse, and the star’s heat turned the planet into an inferno as molten rock surged toward Shen Yi, Winnie, and Wen Ke'er.
• Winnie said Enrosis may have used the box to stabilize the world and noted that its removal had nearly erased the strange auras across the world.
• Shen Yi asked whether the box’s connection to Enrosis could be used to track him down.
• Winnie explained that extracting an Authority Holder’s aura could alert him and reveal the pursuers’ location, then showed how her connection to Shimada Yukimi illustrated the principle.

Winnie briefly connected with Shimada Yukimi through their closely linked auras, while Shen Yi and Wen Ke'er prepared to leave Wen Ke'er’s collapsing former world. A mysterious man appeared and proposed moving their confrontation elsewhere, then revealed an item called Calling Star.

• Winnie explained that she had briefly exchanged consciousness with Shimada Yukimi and said the collapsing world would soon be destroyed.
• Shen Yi prepared to leave with Wen Ke'er and Winnie, but a short, shriveled man appeared from the rippling space.
• The man proposed moving their confrontation to another location to avoid the world’s collapse, while Shen Yi questioned his assumptions and Wen Ke'er and Winnie warned of the danger.
• The man introduced an item called Calling Star and implied that its power was immense.

Shen Yi fought the black-robed figure with a blend of Shadow Authority and multiple elemental powers, while Winnie protected Wen Ke'er from the collapsing world and the battle’s shock waves. Shen Yi unfolded an ink-black domain and vowed to kill his opponent within three moves, as the figure welcomed the challenge.

• Shen Yi struck the black-robed figure with an ice mountain strengthened by Shadow Authority, but the man emerged unharmed with a long blade wreathed in dark crimson lightning.
• Winnie shielded Wen Ke'er from the impact as Shen Yi's attacks tore kilometer-long rifts through the already collapsing world.
• The black-robed figure warned that the world would collapse after three more moves and challenged Shen Yi to protect the women while fighting him.
• Shen Yi spread an ink-black domain over the battlefield and began attacking the black-robed figure with shadows carrying many different powers.
• Winnie used more than sixty percent of her power to protect Wen Ke'er, while the black-robed figure laughed and praised Shen Yi's strength.
