Wang Sanbao offered seventh-tier alloy equipment and major rewards to rally Gene Warriors for an assault on Shelter No. 1 and the destruction of its traitors. The forces prepared to depart the next morning, while You Rui explained to Han Liu how the Zhennan Royal Family’s resources dwarfed those of Shelter No. 36.

After You Rui described the Zhennan Royal Family's overwhelming power, Shelter No. 36's members reaffirmed their faith in Lin Xuankong and their hope that he would lead them to become a great force. Lin Xuankong decided to develop the shelter with care, and the chapter ended as Seventh Tier alloy equipment was brought over for Shelter No. 36's leaders.

Wang Sanbao’s rewards raised the morale of the Gene Warriors assembled at Shelter No. 12 for a battle against Shelter No. 1. Zhao Liang praised Han Bao and Han Liu’s rapid advancement and urged them to earn the chance to join the Zhennan Royal Family, but Han Liu showed little interest.

At a banquet in Shelter No. 12, Zhao Liang told You Rui that Zhennan Envoy Wang Sanbao had personally invited her to drink with him and suggested that his favor could bring her immense status. Han Liu objected, but Zhao Liang dismissed him, leaving You Rui under pressure to respond.

• Lin Xuankong observed how Gene Warriors enjoyed the banquet’s food and wine while ordinary refugees served them in hopes of gaining resources.
• Zhao Ming praised You Rui’s appearance and approached her table, but she thanked him coolly while Lin Xuankong remained distracted.
• Zhao Liang arrived and explained that Wang Sanbao had noticed You Rui and invited her to join him for a drink.

• Han Liu stood up to object, but Zhao Liang rebuked him and insisted that You Rui understood the importance of Wang Sanbao’s invitation.

At a banquet, Zhao Liang tried to bring Captain You Rui to drink with Wang Sanbao, the Zhennan Royal Family envoy, but You Rui turned to Lin Xuankong for support. Lin Xuankong called her his girlfriend and affirmed that she would not drink with someone else, leaving You Rui flustered and pleased.

• Han Liu wanted to confront Zhao Liang, but Han Bao held him back and urged him to trust Lin Xuankong.
• Han Liu and Han Bao whispered about You Rui’s feelings for Lin Xuankong while You Rui overheard them.
• Zhao Liang pressed You Rui to accept Wang Sanbao’s invitation as the banquet guests watched.
• You Rui stood, then sat beside Lin Xuankong, held his arm, and called herself his girlfriend while asking him to respond to Zhao Liang.
• Lin Xuankong pinched You Rui’s cheek and said she could not drink with someone else because she was his girlfriend, making her blush and feel relieved.

You Rui rejected Wang Sanbao’s invitation to join the Zhennan Royal Family and declared her devotion to Lin Xuankong. Wang Sanbao and Zhao Liang left the banquet, while Shelter No. 36’s team remained untroubled as the other Gene Warriors criticized You Rui’s choice.

• You Rui defended her choice, arguing that love was not determined by strength or status, and Han Liu applauded her.

• Shelter No. 36’s members continued drinking and chatting, while the other guests criticized them for failing to appreciate the opportunity You Rui had rejected.

After You Rui rejected Wang Sanbao’s invitation, Shelter No. 36’s leaders discussed whether the Zhennan Royal Family would retaliate, while Lin Xuankong reflected on his mission and his loved ones’ freedom. The next morning, the convoy left Shelter No. 12, but it halted on the road, and You Rui warned that Shelter No. 36 might be sent into battle first.

• You Rui explained to Zhao Ming that she had refused Wang Sanbao because Zhao Liang had tried to pressure her, while Han Liu argued that the Zhennan Royal Family could not afford to punish loyal Gene Warriors openly.
• Lin Xuankong reflected that completing his mission in the Primordial Universe could strengthen him and help protect his family and loved ones.
• The convoy departed Shelter No. 12 with Wang Sanbao, Wang Yilong, Wang Wu, and Zhao Liang in the armored motorhome, while You Rui described the brothers’ greater strength and status to Lin Xuankong.
• Han Liu teased Lin Xuankong and You Rui about their relationship, so Lin Xuankong made him push their armored vehicle as it traveled.
• The convoy abruptly stopped, and You Rui warned that Wang Sanbao might order Shelter No. 36 to lead the coming battle, prompting its Gene Warriors to disembark and form ranks.

An armored convoy bound for Shelter No. 1 encountered a pack of ten powerful Thorn Beasts, and Zhao Liang offered contribution rewards to whoever fought them. When no shelter volunteered, he ordered Zhao Ming and Shelter No. 14 to lead the attack, leaving their warriors facing a dangerous battle.

• A pack of enormous Eighth Tier-or-higher Predator Thorn Beasts blocked the convoy, and Zhao Liang warned the assembled warriors that fighting them would earn substantial contribution points.
• The shelter captains hesitated to volunteer because Thorn Beasts were exceptionally dangerous, and several watched You Rui of Shelter No. 36, expecting her shelter to be singled out.
• Zhao Liang chose Zhao Ming and Shelter No. 14 to lead the first battle, catching Zhao Ming off guard.
• Zhao Ming reluctantly saluted and agreed to lead his Gene Warriors against the Thorn Beasts, while Zhao Liang promised to record their merits.
• The other shelters were relieved to avoid the vanguard, but worried that Shelter No. 14's Ninth Tier Gene Warriors would suffer heavy casualties.

Zhao Liang of Shelter No. 12 plotted against Shelter No. 14 and Shelter No. 36 because of his personal grudges, while Lin Xuankong advised waiting before Shelter No. 36 intervened. Zhao Ming led three Vice Captains toward a nest of ten Eighth Tier Predator Thorn Beasts as his forces prepared to support them from a distance.

• Zhao Liang recalled his humiliation at Shelter No. 36’s banquet and secretly welcomed the danger facing Shelter No. 14, while planning to eliminate Zhao Ming and Shelter No. 36.
• Lin Xuankong, You Rui, and Han Bao discussed Zhao Liang’s selfishness, and Lin Xuankong told Han Bao to wait until Shelter No. 14 needed help so it would owe Shelter No. 36 a favor.
• Zhao Ming ordered his three Eighth Tier Vice Captains to engage the Thorn Beasts while the rest of Shelter No. 14’s Gene Warriors provided long-range fire from armored vehicles.
• Zhao Ming rebuked a team leader who questioned the dangerous plan, explaining that he wanted to protect the young Gene Warriors from close combat.
• Zhao Ming and the three Vice Captains advanced toward the nest as ten Predator Thorn Beasts rose and the armored vehicles aimed their cannons at them.

Zhao Ming and three vice-captains fought ten Predator Thorn Beasts with Seventh Tier alloy weapons and armor, wounding several beasts early in the battle. You Rui suspected the famous Thorn Beasts were holding back, leaving the fight’s outcome uncertain.

• Han Liu mocked Zhao Ming as he approached the Predator Thorn Beasts, while Han Bao reproached him.
• The leader of the Thorn Beasts howled and sent four beasts charging at Zhao Ming and his three vice-captains.
• Zhao Ming and his companions met the charge and fought the four beasts with their Seventh Tier alloy weapons and armor.
• Zhao Ming wounded one Thorn Beast, and the three vice-captains wounded another, prompting cheers from the watching Gene Warriors.
• You Rui warned Han Bao that the Thorn Beasts’ displayed strength did not match their reputation, and Han Bao wondered if they were holding back for a sudden attack.

You Rui and Han Bao feared that Shelter No. 14’s captains were underestimating the cunning Predator Thorn Beasts, and their concern proved justified when the beasts unleashed a barrage of bone spikes. Captain General Zhao Ming and the three vice captains struggled to survive behind their Seventh Tier Alloy Armor as Shelter No. 14’s cannon fire failed to hurt the beasts.

• You Rui warned Han Bao that Zhao Ming and the other captains could be in danger if they let their early advantage make them careless.
• After cutting bone spikes from a retreating Predator Thorn Beast, Zhao Ming and the three vice captains celebrated their Seventh Tier equipment and advanced to compete over who would take a beast’s head first.
• The four Predator Thorn Beasts halted and fired bone spikes at Zhao Ming and the others, who dodged and deflected the initial volley but were overwhelmed by repeated attacks.
• Zhao Ming urged the captains to hold out, trusting their armor to withstand the barrage, while they retreated under the impacts.
• Gene Warriors from Shelter No. 14 opened fire with automatic cannons, but the bullets bounced off the beasts’ bone spikes without harming them.

Shelter No. 14’s four captains struggled against four Predator Thorn Beasts after their guns ran out of ammunition, while Lin Xuankong sensed that the beasts were about to unleash their true ability and prepared Han Bao to intervene. The Thorn Beasts remotely controlled fallen bone spikes, killing one vice-captain and turning the battle against the survivors.

• Shelter No. 14’s automatic cannons and rifles fell silent after exhausting their Alloy Bullets, leaving Zhao Ming and three vice-captains to hold off the four Predator Thorn Beasts.
• Zhao Ming encouraged the others to endure until the beasts used more of their bone spikes, while Lin Xuankong sensed a surge in their Source Energy and told Han Bao to prepare to rescue the captains and kill the beasts.
• Han Bao readied his Seventh Tier Alloy Armor and long saber, and Han Liu asked Lin Xuankong how he had detected the beasts’ changing Source Energy.
• A vice-captain noticed that a cut bone spike had pierced his ankle armor, but the fallen spikes suddenly launched at his armor’s gaps and killed him.
• Zhao Ming and the two surviving vice-captains retreated as the beasts’ fallen bone spikes rose to attack them, and Zhao Liang watched in horror as he realized the beasts could repeatedly control their spikes from afar.

Han Bao charged alone into the battle against four Predator Thorn Beasts and rescued Zhao Ming and his vice captains, drawing the beasts’ full attention. As more than ten thousand bone spikes surrounded Han Bao and a faster barrage began, the onlookers realized the beasts had not yet been fighting at full strength.

• Wang Sanbao ordered Zhao Liang to prepare the shelters’ captain generals and vice captains to join the fight, then paused the order to watch Han Bao intervene.
• Han Bao rushed to Zhao Ming’s side and deflected more than a hundred bone spikes, giving Zhao Ming and two vice captains time to retreat.
• The Predator Thorn Beasts surrounded Han Bao with more than ten thousand bone spikes, while the gathered Gene Warriors doubted he could survive.
• Zhao Ming started toward Zhao Liang to seek help for Han Bao, but stopped when roughly a thousand spikes launched at Han Bao at greater speed than before.

Han Bao used his Primordial Vajra Body to withstand the Predator Thorn Beasts’ bone-spike barrage and charged through their attacks. He killed one beast and continued pursuing the others, leaving Zhao Ming astonished by Shelter No. 36’s strength and curious about Lin Xuankong.

• Zhao Ming feared Han Bao would die beneath the four Predator Thorn Beasts’ bone-spike barrage until Han Bao’s golden defensive ability repelled every attack.
• Han Bao advanced through the bone spikes as the four Predator Thorn Beasts retreated, astonishing the watching Gene Warriors and shelter leaders.
• Han Bao charged at the beasts; three fled while the fourth stayed behind to cover their retreat.
• Han Bao cut the remaining Predator Thorn Beast’s throat, killing it and causing its bone spikes to fall to the ground.
• Zhao Ming praised Han Bao’s bravery and wondered what made Lin Xuankong so powerful that You Rui favored him.

Han Bao fought nine Predator Thorn Beasts but was pinned in place by their relentless bone-spike barrage. As the battle stalled, Lin Xuankong secretly acted, and tiny droplets drifted toward four of the beasts’ eyes.

• Nine Predator Thorn Beasts attacked Han Bao with a torrent of bone spikes, forcing him backward despite his Primordial Vajra Body withstanding their hits.
• Gene Warriors from Shelter No. 14 cheered Han Bao, while Han Liu claimed he could defeat the beasts and You Rui explained why Han Bao was better suited to face their ranged attacks.
• Han Liu quietly argued with Zhu Ling as Lin Xuankong watched Han Bao struggle and began circulating source energy without drawing notice.
• The Predator Thorn Beasts recalled fallen spikes and kept up their seemingly endless barrage, leaving Han Bao unable to advance.
• Tiny droplets emerged from the ground and silently floated toward the eyes of four Predator Thorn Beasts, unnoticed by the beasts and the watching Gene Warriors.

Lin Xuankong secretly used his Water Drawing Technique to help Han Bao defeat the Predator Thorn Beasts, earning Han Bao acclaim and a remarkable offer from Wang Sanbao. The chapter ended with Zhao Liang ordered to announce Han Bao’s reward, despite his resentment over the opportunity he had pursued for years.

• Lin Xuankong secretly weakened the Predator Thorn Beasts, allowing Han Bao to break through their attack and kill one.
• Han Bao killed six more Predator Thorn Beasts, leaving seven dead and three fleeing as the Gene Warriors cheered.
• Wang Sanbao ordered Zhao Liang to reward Zhao Ming and his companions with ownership of their Seventh Tier Alloy Armor and offer Han Bao the chance to join the Zhennan Royal Family.
• Zhao Liang struggled to accept Han Bao’s reward, and Wang Sanbao rebuked him for failing to announce the orders.
• Zhao Liang took the loudspeaker and prepared to address Han Bao, his expression betraying his unwillingness.

After Han Bao received the qualification to join the Zhennan Royal Family, Lin Xuankong urged him to accept so he could bring the family’s resources and intelligence back to Shelter No. 36. The convoy continued toward the coming battle, while Han Liu’s teasing earned him a scolding from You Rui.

• Zhao Liang announced Han Bao’s rewards, including the qualification to join the Zhennan Royal Family, but Han Bao calmly returned to collecting the Predator Thorn Beast spoils.
• After the seven beasts were processed, the convoy continued, and the Gene Warriors hoped they might earn similar recognition in the battle against Shelter No. 1.
• Han Bao vowed to remain with Shelter No. 36, but Lin Xuankong persuaded him that joining the Zhennan Royal Family could benefit their shelter.
• Han Liu teased Han Bao about a future marriage into the royal family, prompting Han Bao to leave and check on the beast corpses.
• You Rui rebuked Han Liu for boasting about making a future wife fear him, and Lin Xuankong watched as Han Liu fell silent.

Huang Wentao learned that the Wang Family's Three Brothers were leading Tang Nation's forces against Shelter No. 1 and prepared his troops for battle, relying on Bai Dedong to face them. Zhao Liang arrived at the shelter's gates and denounced Huang Wentao for betraying Tang Nation and Zhennan Royal Family.

• Huang Wentao questioned Huang San and Huang Tian about Bai Dedong's response to the approaching forces, and learned Bai planned to fight rather than retreat.
• Huang Wentao worried that the Wang Family's Three Brothers, renowned Seventh Tier warriors backed by Zhennan Royal Family, could overwhelm Shelter No. 1, though Huang San argued that Bai Dedong's Cloud Beast might match them.
• Huang Wentao ordered his captains to prepare for battle, warning that the Wang Family's Three Brothers would not accept surrender.
• Huang Wentao and Bai Deming watched as Shelter No. 1's heavily armed defenders aimed their cannons at the approaching convoy.
• Zhao Liang stepped out of an armored vehicle at Shelter No. 1's gates, and Huang Wentao claimed authority over the shelters before Zhao Liang condemned him for betraying Tang Nation and endangering the families of his followers.

Huang Wentao rejected Zhao Liang’s demand to return Shelter No. 1 to Tang Nation, and the besieging commanders prepared a dawn assault. Lin Xuankong realized Shelter No. 1 might attack first and ordered Shelter No. 36 to arm itself as a nighttime threat approached.

• Huang Wentao argued that joining Yunqin Nation was the best choice, while Zhao Liang warned Shelter No. 1 would be destroyed for betraying Tang Nation.
• Wang Sanbao promised rewards to the first team to reach Shelter No. 1’s walls, and the captains, including You Rui, agreed to lead charges.
• Wang Sanbao ordered a coordinated assault at five in the morning, with armored vehicles attacking the main gate and four teams striking the corners.
• Han Bao and Han Liu proposed destroying Shelter No. 1’s artillery before Shelter No. 36’s inexperienced fighters advanced.
• Lin Xuankong sensed danger and warned that Shelter No. 1 might launch a night attack, so You Rui ordered Shelter No. 36 to arm for battle.
