Yi Chen broke through into a new Great Realm and reasoned that luck arose from the interaction of fate, karma, and ecological balance. He decided to prioritize his planetary expansion rather than pursue small luck rewards, then discovered his Divine Sense had changed.

• Yi Chen broke through into a new Great Realm, and the Flame Mountain Tribe celebrated while the Federation’s viewers worried that new cultivation methods would take longer to reach them.
• Yi Chen concluded that luck came from the Laws of Fate and Karma, with actions affecting ecological balance changing how fate unfolded.

• Yi Chen chose to continue expanding his influence across the planet and avoid unnecessary slaughter when it would not slow his plans.
• As Yi Chen stabilized his new realm, he noticed that his Divine Sense had undergone a miraculous change.

• Yi Chen merged his Mind Consciousness with his Divine Sense, explored the tribe's encampment, and formed an energy avatar that he named the Divine Soul.

• Yi Chen summoned Bai Ruoxin and learned that the West Route Army could not safely investigate the Sea Breeze Tribe's closely guarded beast-controlling treasures.
• Yi Chen decided to visit the Sea Breeze Tribe, whose population and territory could greatly strengthen the Flame Mountain Tribe, and Bai Ruoxin prepared the flying stone house for the trip.
• Yi Chen learned that the Swamp Crocodile was still in the swamp and ordered Bai Ruoxin to take them there so he could bring it along as a vanguard.

Yi Chen summoned the Swamp Crocodile to scout ahead as the Stone House traveled toward the Sea Island where the Sea Breeze Tribe had risen to power. After entering the Great Sea, the crocodile sensed a dangerous aura and warned Yi Chen.

• After more than half an hour at sea, the Swamp Crocodile sensed a dangerous presence, roared, and warned Yi Chen.

Yi Chen sent the Swamp Crocodile to fight a Giant Shark in the Great Sea while he continued cultivating. Little Golden Ball repeatedly revived after being struck, and the chapter left the Swamp Crocodile under attack as Yi Chen ignored its cry for help.

• Yi Chen warned the Swamp Crocodile about the approaching Giant Shark and ordered it to fight head-on.
• Little Golden Ball charged the Giant Shark, was shattered by a launched tooth, then revived and charged again.

• The Swamp Crocodile blocked the teeth with black water, but fled when the Giant Shark charged into close range.
• The Giant Shark unleashed blue lightning, bit the Swamp Crocodile's abdomen, and the Swamp Crocodile called for help while Yi Chen kept cultivating.

The Swamp Crocodile struggled to survive the Giant Shark’s attacks while Yi Chen waited for it to follow his order and fight back.

Little Golden Ball used its resurrection and self-destruction abilities to kill a Giant Whale from inside, impressing Swamp Crocodile as the group continued toward the Sea Island where the Sea Breeze Tribe had risen. Along the way, they defeated other Ocean Ferocious Beasts, and the Stone House drew closer to its destination.

• Swamp Crocodile devoured the Giant Shark while Little Golden Ball refused to eat it, and Bai Ruoxin continued flying the Stone House toward the Sea Island.

• A Sea Breeze Tribe scout used a gemstone headband and three Ocean Ferocious Beasts to detect the approaching group and send an invasion warning.
• The scout recognized Yi Chen’s group as humans and tried to retreat while calling for support.
• Yi Chen used his Divine Sense to lift the scout into the air and snatch the headband away.

Yi Chen tested the Spirit Ore controlling the Sea Breeze Tribe’s Ocean Ferocious Beasts and uncovered how its two types worked. He concluded that the system’s weakness was its users, whom he could overpower and strip of control within range of his Divine Sense.

• Yi Chen wounded Blue Shark and ordered the Swamp Crocodile to stop it while two other Ocean Ferocious Beasts fled.
• Yi Chen used the three Yellow Spirit Ores to command Blue Shark and the other beasts to return, confirming that he could control them by transmitting his intent.
• Yi Chen sent a Sea Breeze Tribe member to the Intelligence Organization for interrogation about the Spirit Ore and its use.
• Yi Chen removed the silver white Spirit Ore from each beast, and all three escaped once they were freed from its control.
• Yi Chen inferred that the silver white Spirit Ore controlled a beast while the Yellow Spirit Ore activated it, and he identified the Sea Breeze Tribe’s weak users as the control method’s biggest flaw.

Yi Chen learned how the Sea Breeze Tribe used paired spirit ores to influence ferocious beasts and continued with his plan to conquer the tribe while limiting casualties. As the army approached the Sea Island, Sea Breeze Tribe members and their Blue Sharks appeared ahead, seemingly ready to confront them.

• Bai Ruoxin reported that silver-white spirit ore lodged in a beast’s stomach while Yellow Spirit Ore allowed others to influence it over time, and Yi Chen identified the method’s risks.
• Yi Chen kept the plan to seize all the spirit ores at once and prioritize bringing the Sea Breeze Tribe’s roughly seven hundred thousand people under control.
• Yi Chen removed a red headband from an approaching Sea Breeze Tribe scout and sent him and the headband to the Four Routes Army, which arranged for the tribesman and three Ocean Ferocious Beasts to be handled separately.

• A large force of Sea Breeze Tribe members riding Blue Sharks appeared ahead, with many powerful Ocean Ferocious Beasts lurking below them.

After capturing the defenders along the way, he ordered the army to land quickly and take the island before the Sea Breeze Tribe could organize an encirclement.

• Yi Chen confirmed that fifty-six Sea Breeze Tribe members and their ferocious beasts were within reach, then seized all their Hairbands with his Divine Sense.
• Yi Chen used the Hairbands to summon and control exactly one hundred and sixty ferocious beasts, while the Four Routes Army captured the Sea Breeze Tribe members who had tried to flee.
• Yi Chen kept the army advancing behind the Swamp Crocodile and ordered the Four Routes Army and Reserve Army to capture the Sea Breeze Tribe defenders.
• When the Sea Island came into view, Yi Chen ordered the army to advance at full speed and used the same Hairband strategy to disarm and control the defenders near the island.

Yi Chen and the Four Routes Army took control of Sea Island after the Sea Breeze Tribe's Tribal Chief surrendered, then began absorbing the tribe into the Flame Mountain Tribe. With the population, territory, and resources greatly increased, Yi Chen continued constructing Spirit Gathering Array Law Runes while prioritizing the creation of a Blessed Grotto Heaven.

• Yi Chen used his Divine Sense to strip the Sea Breeze Tribe members of control over their Hairbands and Ocean Ferocious Beasts, allowing the army to subdue the reinforcements without killing them.
• The Four Routes Army surrounded Sea Island and took control of its people and Spirit Mine, while the Sea Breeze Tribe's Tribal Chief surrendered and offered to help seize the other islands.

The Federal Human Race’s situation on Life Planet A12516 worsened as Yuan Huo’s influence threatened billions of people, prompting Lu Qingxian to ask the Earth Tree Race Special Envoy to harvest the Calamity Fruit early.

After months of cultivating in the Stone House, Yi Chen approved the Sea Breeze Tribe’s relocation to Royal City and the General Political Department’s new system. He appointed the first nobles of the Great Flame Kingdom, leaving the department to arrange the ceremonies without his participation.

• The High Priest and six Deputy General Presidents visited Yi Chen and reported that the Sea Breeze Tribe’s more than seven hundred thousand clansmen were ready to relocate to Royal City.
• Yi Chen approved the relocation and implementation of the new system, then named the leaders of the Four Routes Army, Zhong Ren, Feng Yue, and the Intelligence Organization’s leader as State Barons.
