Chapter Summaries

After Cheng Han’s dissatisfaction with Qinglin City’s traffic order nearly cost the Patrol Department its jobs, Liu Yidao imposed strict reforms and punished the reckless youths and their enabler. Cheng Han then toured the newly completed Qinglin Rail Station while Arthur reported a Praying Life Society communications network and prepared to intercept its Messenger.

• Liu Yidao berated the Squad Leader and ordered the Patrol Department to cancel leave and enforce traffic rules across Qinglin City.
• Liu Yidao assigned the Ghost Fire Youths to serve as Traffic Assistants until each caught one thousand traffic violators, and dismissed Qu Yonghong from the Patrol Department.
• Qu Yonghong struck his son, and the Squad Leader ordered officers to arrest him for assaulting someone in the street.
• Cheng Han and his fiancée toured Qinglin Rail Station as Grand Governor Yu Xianglong praised Cheng Han for helping bring the rail system to Tai'an.
• Arthur told Cheng Han he had found six Praying Life Society bird nests and would watch the sixth to catch the Messenger carrying a secret letter.

Cheng Han rode a lavishly prepared railcar with Qian Qingqing and Qian Changyun, explaining how cheaper internal-combustion engines and railways could benefit ordinary people. After learning of strange Earth Devouring Worm incidents along the railway, he realized a threat lay ahead and called for attendant Yu Yulan, whose unusual aura had drawn his attention.

• Cheng Han and Qian Qingqing discussed expanding railways and the Science Magic Research Institute’s plan to replace Crystal Energy power with cheaper internal-combustion engines.
• Qian Qingqing explained to Qian Changyun how high transport costs raised prices, and the railcar departed from Qinglin Rail Station.
• During lunch, Cheng Han asked Qian Qingqing about frequent Earth Devouring Worm appearances at railway construction sites, which the Tai An Profound Pavilion had failed to explain.
• Cheng Han suspected the incidents were connected to the Praying Life Society and reassured Qian Qingqing, Qian Changyun, and the attendants that the railcar faced no serious danger.
• Cheng Han ordered an attendant to summon Yu Yulan after the Black Cat’s investigation revealed her unusual aura and a problem ahead along the route.

Cheng Han discovered that Yu Yulan had been turned into a spy for the Praying Life Society and chose to let the railcar continue so he could expose and eliminate the enemy. He identified the threat as a likely attack involving Earth Devouring Worms and warned that a giant one could swallow the entire railcar.

• Cheng Han used the Twisting Force to reveal a Parasitic Puppet attached to Yu Yulan and learned that her neck had begun hurting the night before last.
• Cheng Han sent Yu Yulan to rest and confirmed to Qian Qingqing that the Praying Life Society was behind the plot.
• Qian Qingqing explained to Qian Changyun that Cheng Han had allowed the railcar to continue so the enemy would not flee and could be wiped out.
• Cheng Han told everyone that the enemy worshipped the Lord of Sin and Life, whose power could command forces beneath the earth, and promised rewards if they defeated the attackers.
• Cheng Han deduced that the enemy would use a Giant Earth Devouring Worm or many smaller ones, and said a giant worm might swallow the railcar whole.

Cheng Han reassured Qian Changyun about the giant Earth Devouring Worm, gave him a dagger made from a Giant Sea Spider spike, and ordered an emergency live-combat test. He began awakening the Myriad Mysteries Spirit Banyan Sprout to face the approaching danger, and the chapter ended with him glowing green.

• Cheng Han calmed Qian Changyun by recounting how the Warhawk Legion had killed a much larger Giant Sea Spider, then gave him a dagger made from one of its spikes.
• Xie You received Cheng Han’s order to prepare the Red Eagle Squad for an emergency live-combat test of the newly developed Eagle Strike Mystic Weapons.
• Qian Changyun tested the dagger, which sliced through armor, and learned that it was worth about three thousand Gold Coins.
• Cheng Han saw that the Red Eagle Squad had taken off and used the Spirit Vast Myriad Forest Profound Imprint to awaken the Myriad Mysteries Spirit Banyan Sprout.
• The sprout’s power spread over Cheng Han, making him glow green as Qian Qingqing and Qian Changyun reacted in surprise.

Cheng Han fused with the Myriad Mysteries Spirit Banyan Sprout, gained a surge in Spirit Value, and created the Banyan Spirit Extinction Spear. After he launched the spear toward the Giant Earth Devouring Worm, its emerald streak appeared to trigger the Red Eagle Squad’s battle orders.

• Cheng Han’s transformation filled the private room with plants and showed Qian Qingqing and the others a seemingly real forest growing across a wasteland.
• Cheng Han returned to human form and discovered that his Spirit Value had reached 327.2 and his Profound Imprint had begun fusing with the Myriad Mysteries Spirit Banyan Sprout.

• Cheng Han hurled the spear through the window, and it streaked six or seven kilometers across the sky.
• The Red Eagle Squad saw the emerald streak, recognized it as the signal, and prepared for battle.

Cheng Han used the Banyan Spirit Extinction Spear to pierce the Giant Earth Devouring Worm’s defenses while the Red Eagle Squad launched its new Eagle Strike Profound Weapons. The chapter ended as Cheng Han commanded the hidden vines to strike the worm underground.

• Leng Tianya saw the weapons turn toward the target from thirty kilometers away and realized their significance.
• Cheng Han used the Banyan Spirit Line to command the vines to form miniature Banyan Spirit Extinction Spears and strike the Giant Earth Devouring Worm.

Cheng Han used the Myriad Mysteries Spirit Banyan Sprout to drain the Giant Earth Devouring Worm’s life force and transfer it into a Blue Thorns shrub, then coordinated an aerial bombardment that helped finish the Anomaly. With the danger cleared and the Worm reduced to stone, Cheng Han left those with him staring at the towering Giant Tree.

• Cheng Han activated the Banyan Spirit Extinction Spears, which drained the Giant Earth Devouring Worm’s life force and strengthened the Banyan Spirit Line.
• Cheng Han used the stolen life force to grow a Blue Thorns shrub into a Giant Tree, prompting the Giant Worm to burrow toward the surface and attack it.
• Cheng Han covertly guided the Red Eagle Squad’s Eagle Strike Profound Weapons to strike the emerging Giant Worm with successive volleys.

After killing the Giant Earth Devouring Worm, Cheng Han went to the mutated Blue Thorns to investigate its link to the Praying Life Society and advanced his Profound Imprints. He treated Qian Qingqing and the others to a barbecue in a Tree House high above the canopy, where Leng Tianya arrived.

• Cheng Han confirmed that the Giant Earth Devouring Worm had been killed, rewarded the railcar staff, and invited Qian Qingqing to inspect the Giant Tree while ordering Yu Yulan brought over.
• Cheng Han identified the Blue Thorns as a rare tree with fused earth and wood powers, and his Level 8 Eye of Omniscience traced a blurred vision of a Praying Life Society Bishop kneeling before a dark figure.
• Cheng Han completed a deduction on the tree, greatly advanced his Lofty Stone Profound Imprint, slightly advanced his Spirit Vast Myriad Forest Profound Imprint, and increased his Spirit Value limit.
• Cheng Han shaped the tree’s branches into a Tree House and raised it to the canopy, where he, Qian Qingqing, Qian Changyun, and the others prepared a barbecue.
• Leng Tianya arrived by Mystic Boat and appeared before Cheng Han in a Silver Line Black Robe.

• Leng Tianya arrived at Cheng Han’s Tree House and learned that Cheng Han had killed the giant monster with a treasure bestowed by Divine City.
• Cheng Han told Leng Tianya that a mastermind was behind the attack and asked him to assist in finding the culprit.
• Cheng Han explained that Yu Yulan had been implanted with a Parasitic Puppet and used a secret technique to connect her with the Giant Tree.
• Yu Yulan answered the Giant Tree’s call, and its power helped her locate the mastermind to the northeast.
• A green Light Thread shot from Yu Yulan’s finger, and Leng Tianya followed it out of the Tree House to pursue the mastermind.

McCarthy, a hidden enemy of the Myriad Radiance People, fled after being tracked through Beiting City, where new traffic rules had made the streets orderly. As he tried to attack civilians, a green Spear of Light descended on him, leaving his fate uncertain.

• McCarthy watched the traffic assistants enforce new road rules and resented the order in Beiting City.
• When the light changed, McCarthy ran across the road and transformed into black mist to escape toward a nearby park.
• McCarthy split his mist into a decoy and a thinner trail, then entered the city’s sewers through a concealed route.
• A woman named McCarthy’s pursuer linked a pale green thread to his Sea of Spirit and told him he could not escape.
• McCarthy blasted through the sewer roof and emerged onto another road, intending to slaughter civilians.
• A green Spear of Light descended toward McCarthy as he realized he was facing the same terrifying force that had killed the Earth Devouring Worm King.

Cheng Han used the Banyan Spirit Thousand Machine Silk to frighten Bishop McCarthy into abandoning his body, then tracked him to Anhua City, where Leng Tianya captured him alive. Meanwhile, Cheng Han relaxed with Qian Qingqing and Qian Changyun on the spirit tree and showed off the gifts its branches gave Qian Qingqing.
