Lin Firmament took over Lin Fan’s call with the Seventh Vice Minister and learned that supplying electricity for formations across the Divine Land would require an enormous amount of power. After heavenly lightning proved impractical, she offered to examine the Artificial Sun technology, leaving the ministers astonished.

• Zhou Na asked Lin Firmament to go home with her and give her pointers, but Lin Firmament declined.
• The Seventh Vice Minister called and mistakenly treated Lin Firmament as Lin Fan’s aloof Second Personality, prompting her to insist that he explain the call.
• The Seventh Vice Minister explained that powering nationwide formations would require more electricity than the country could readily supply, and that building enough Nuclear Power Plants could take about two years.
• Lin Firmament suggested collecting heavenly lightning, but the experts warned that only part of it could be captured and that its voltage made the process dangerous.
• The Seventh Vice Minister described the Artificial Sun as a promising but immature source of vast electricity, and Lin Firmament said she would take a look at it.

Lin Fan arranged to visit the experimental base to see the Artificial Sun, while Hua Nation’s Ministers prepared for a global conference about cultivators. The conference ended with foreign factions demanding access to Lin Fan and the Ministers refusing, claiming he wanted seclusion.

• Lin Fan persuaded the Seventh Vice Minister to let him visit the experimental base and inspect the Artificial Sun.

• Lin Firmament decided to combine the Artificial Sun’s principles into an Invincible Art.

Lin Firmament learned that the Artificial Sun’s magnetic confinement could not withstand thermal radiation for long and proposed arranging its electromagnetic fields into an array. She obtained classified project data and brought it to Old Chen and Zhou Xiaoran in C City, leaving them to wonder whether she could complete the technology.

• Lin Firmament asked Mo Dangzhen how the Artificial Sun reached temperatures above one hundred million degrees and learned about its unstable magnetic confinement.
• Mo Dangzhen explained that thermal radiation was preventing the electromagnetic field from operating stably, and Lin Firmament suggested forming the fields into an array.
• Lin Firmament requested all Artificial Sun information and magnetic-field data, and Seventh Elder authorized its release as long as she kept the classified material secret.

• Qi Zixiao compared her proposed restrictions with the universal template, giving the Avatar authority to act as her original body and forbidding it from revealing the body-switching secret or becoming intimate with anyone.
• After a full day of revisions, Qi Zixiao asked Sister A'Wu about the refining process and learned it would take about two days and could not be interrupted by Lin Fan.
• Qi Zixiao began refining the Mortal Body, using the Five Colors Divine Light as its vessel, the Immaculate Relic to hold the restrictions, and materials representing the five elements.
• Qi Zixiao cycled the five elemental essences through mutual generation, balanced them, fused them, and shaped them into a human form.
• Qi Zixiao chose to make the Avatar look identical to her original body, and the body finished condensing several hours later.
• Qi Zixiao stared at the pale, unclothed body until Sister A'Wu noticed, then hurriedly conjured clothes for it.

Qi Zixiao created and awakened an avatar by joining her Divided Soul with the Five Colors Divine Light, then rapidly raised its cultivation to the Golden Core Peak. She and the avatar entered the Giant Coffin to nourish their divine souls while Qi Zixiao prepared clothes and considered how to stop Lin Fan from removing them.

• Qi Zixiao dressed the avatar in modern secretary attire and added black-rimmed glasses to make her less eye-catching.
• Qi Zixiao endured the pain of splitting her divine soul, bound the Divided Soul to the Five Colors Divine Light, and awakened the avatar.

• Qi Zixiao refined two protective outfits for her incarnation, gave her the Star Chasing Bow and two jade pendants, and worked with her to restore their primordial spirits.
• Qi Zixiao wondered how she would respond when she met Lin Fan in person, then decided to discuss formations and the Artificial Sun with Sister A'Wu.
• A figure in the Supreme Unity Holy Land failed to divine Qi Zixiao's future and decided to arrange action against her soon.
• Lin Fan read Lin Firmament's message about the Artificial Sun, cultivation programs, Zhou Na's advancement, Old Chen's electric-powered formations, and the Fallen Heart Flame.
• Lin Fan considered visiting his parents, then Zhou Na told him she had contacted the top Elders, reminding him that the Resident Happiness Living Department could handle the matter.

Lin Fan arranged to meet Magic Rice Ancestor so he could test whether helping a highly meritorious person would earn him merit, while foreign factions formed a plan to develop ways to target cultivators.

• Lin Fan, Zhou Na, and Jin Ruyu arrived at Kyoto Airport, where Lin Fan asked Jin Ruyu what she called her distant relative who was Magic Rice Ancestor.

Lin Fan gave the Magic Rice Ancestor a Spiritual Energy Pill, restoring the elderly rice scientist to a much younger and healthier state. After discussing how cultivators might help the nation overcome disease, Lin Fan returned to C City pondering whether healing people after the Spiritual Qi Revival could earn merit.

• Jin Ruyu struggled to explain her distant relation to the Magic Rice Ancestor, while Zhou Na teased her and Lin Fan.
• Lin Fan gave the Magic Rice Ancestor a Spiritual Energy Pill, and the Old Man accepted it after hearing it could help him develop better rice.
• The pill rejuvenated the Old Man, who then discussed the nation's history and his hope that immortal methods could help people overcome illness.
• Lin Fan promised to do what he could to help, and the Old Man spoke with the visitors until evening before giving each of them a bag of rice.
• Lin Fan, Jin Ruyu, and Zhou Na returned to C City, where Lin Fan wondered whether healing people after the Spiritual Qi Revival could bring him merit.

Lin Fan returned to his hometown, where the Resident Happiness Living Department had improved the road and hidden armed guards to protect his parents. He reunited with his parents, gave them Spiritual Energy Pills and defensive Peace Buckles, and told them he was a cultivator before preparing to leave again.

• Lin Fan drove home while his escorts blocked several apparent attempts to cause traffic accidents and draw near him.

• Lin Fan gave his parents Spiritual Energy Pills and Peace Buckles, told them he was a cultivator, and said he would soon leave again.

Lin Fan returned home to give his parents cultivation pills, then headed back to C City before his next crossing. Lin Firmament watched his message and brought a strange formation to Old Chen and Zhou Xiaoran, who began studying it.

• Lin Fan gave his parents medicine and a Peace Buckle, then left before eating; after taking the medicine, Old Dad and Old Mom became young again and called him for advice.
• Lin Fan told his parents they could reveal their changes, then gave two pills to the man following him and returned to C City.
• At dawn, Lin Firmament watched Lin Fan’s message about his lack of merit, his parents, and Old Chen’s formation work, then heard Lin Fan say he looked forward to their first meeting.
• Lin Firmament brought a formation that absorbed light and thermal radiation to Old Chen and Zhou Xiaoran, and Zhou Xiaoran became absorbed in its symbols.

Zhou Xiaoran devised an array that isolated and regulated the Artificial Sun’s thermal radiation, allowing the Research Institute to stabilize the reaction and begin turning its energy into electricity. Lin Firmament then returned home to research nuclear fusion, while the officials prepared to mobilize resources and the researchers planned further work.

• Zhou Xiaoran explained how to arrange an array to regulate the Artificial Sun’s thermal radiation, and Lin Firmament sent her solution to the Research Institute.
• Mo Dangzhen organized the researchers to build the array, and they activated it after completing and checking the small arrays.
• The array concealed the Artificial Sun’s light while the fusion reaction continued; after thirty minutes, the researchers adjusted the array and confirmed the device was operating stably.
• Mo Dangzhen told Lin Fan and the Seventh Vice Minister about the successful test, and the ministers decided to coordinate resources while delaying matters externally.
• Lin Firmament read the report with Zhou Xiaoran and Old Chen, then returned to her residence to research nuclear fusion.

Lin Firmament studied nuclear fusion as the basis for an Artificial Sun cultivation method and gathered information from the Resident Happiness Living Department. Meanwhile, Qi Zixiao's Avatar met Qi Zi inside the bronze Giant Coffin, where their reunion turned into a quarrel over his bathing in her body.

• Lin Firmament read about nuclear fusion, decided to obtain deuterium from seawater, and received relevant information from the Seventh Vice Minister.
• Lin Firmament concluded that her Golden Core Mid-Stage Large Account could not safely create nuclear fusion yet and considered using a vacuum and an array to contain the heat.
• Qi Zi woke inside the bronze Giant Coffin and realized that the Avatar had been successfully refined.
• Qi Zixiao's Avatar pounced on Qi Zi and confronted him about bathing in her body, while he defended himself with excuses.
