Chapter Summaries

Jiang Mian found and took the cyst space’s dark purple core from [Formless]’s remains, causing the space to destabilize. Chen Xu mistook her for [Formless], but Xiao Song and Ye Chenyang arrived before he could reach her.

• Jiang Mian decided to preserve the half-finished [Formless] as potential nourishment and continued searching its remains for the cyst’s core.
• Chen Xu entered the remains to retrieve [Formless] for his boss, despite the danger posed by Jiang Mian and the King of Cysts.
• Jiang Mian dug out the partially fused cyst core and stored it in her clone after noticing Chen Xu nearby.
• After Jiang Mian took the core, the cyst space began to tremble, and Chen Xu asked if she was [Formless].
• Jiang Mian burrowed back into the remains as Xiao Song and Ye Chenyang arrived and pinned Chen Xu with wind pressure.

Ye Chenyang and Xiao Song escaped the collapsing bubble with Chen Xu, who revealed that a girl had emerged from [Formless]'s remains and taken a bubble core. In a hotel room, Jiang Mian recovered her clone and kept the space core she had collected, then noticed a fight breaking out over the outer sea.

• Ye Chenyang suspected that [Oblivion River] had helped direct people against [Formless], while Chen Xu might have been manipulated into joining them.
• Xiao Song carried Ye Chenyang and Chen Xu toward the bubble's edge after disposing of [Formless]'s remains, and Chen Xu admitted a girl in black had climbed out of the remains holding a bubble core.
• The bubble began cracking, so Xiao Song opened a passage into the shallow Void Realm and Ye Chenyang shielded them with Golden Light.
• Ye Chenyang spotted clusters of purple-lit creatures surging through the Void Realm, including some that radiated an eighth-rank aura.
• Jiang Mian woke in a hotel room, recalled her clone, and kept the space core it had taken from [Formless]'s remains.
• Jiang Mian heard thunder, looked toward the outer sea, and wondered why a fight had suddenly started.

Yang Xin sensed that Xiao Song’s operation had encountered a King of Cysts and rushed to intervene as the World-Overturning Torrent rose to stop her. Amid the battle, Jiang Mian sent a disguised clone toward the sea to test whether it could enter, but someone in the crowded woods spotted it.

• Yang Xin detected an eighth-tier Chaos presence near the activity zone and realized Xiao Song was in serious trouble.
• The World-Overturning Torrent surged from the sea and confronted Yang Xin as she prepared to act.
• A burst of Fourth-tier Radiance appeared in the Void Realm, prompting Yang Xin to unleash her eighth-tier aura and move to save people.
• Jiang Mian watched the battle from a clone and considered whether a clone could enter the sea and gather resources.
• Jiang Mian disguised a clone as an ordinary young man and entered the woods, where Awakened had gathered in a makeshift activity zone.
• Someone in the woods fixed their gaze on Jiang Mian’s clone as it moved deeper inside.

Jiang Mian used her clone to investigate the area while avoiding attention from Lin Guan, a Mind Aspect assigned to monitor suspicious people connected to Doom. She joined Wang Sheng’s team under a false identity, hoping to gather cores before slipping away.

• Lin Guan sensed that Jiang Mian’s clone had no detectable mental fluctuations and ordered A Jun to watch her.
• Jiang Mian bought a cheap short sword to make her clone look like an ordinary newcomer.
• Wang Sheng approached Jiang Mian and offered her a place on his team, hoping to recruit an inexperienced outsider.
• Jiang Mian accepted the offer and introduced herself as Ye Ming, a second-tier Heavy Water awakened individual.

Jiang Mian joined Wang Sheng’s hunting group under the guise of Ye Ming, watched their hunt, and waited as they tried to cheat her out of payment. The group offered her two First Order Deep Diver cores instead of a proper share, and she smiled as the hunters mocked her.

• Jiang Mian suspected the group’s Fifth-tier leader was a Mental System ability user but believed her cover remained intact.
• Wang Sheng brought Ye Ming to meet three Third-tier guards and introduced her as a Second-tier Heavy Water user.

• Jiang Mian sensed that another Eighth-tier being had taken over the fight against World-Overturning Torrent, while the stalemate continued.
• Wang Sheng said the group would distribute the spoils later, then offered Jiang Mian two First Order Deep Diver cores as advance payment.
• The hunters mocked Jiang Mian for expecting more, and she smiled at them.

Jiang Mian defeated Wang Sheng and his companions, took their cores, and exposed their hidden schemes. After knocking out A Jun, she noticed his teammates arriving and prepared to confront them.

• Jiang Mian knocked out the Mediterranean and took his pouch of cores.
• Wang Sheng handed Jiang Mian his pouch, then detonated a corrosive bomb using his severed hand, but she blocked it and remained unharmed.
• Jiang Mian collected the other two men’s cores, knocked them aside, and chased down Wang Sheng, who had tried to escape with a crossbow; she found three Fourth-tier cores on him.
• Jiang Mian spotted A Jun hiding nearby, knocked him unconscious, and saw his teammates approaching through the woods.

After the clone defeated Lin Guan’s Sea Defense squad, Jiang Mian hid it beneath the sea and discovered Qin Xiao watching the battle between two Eighth-tiers. Qin Xiao sensed the clone and cast an ice-laced water line toward it, seemingly trying to fish it out.

• A Jun woke to find Lin Guan and the rest of the Sea Defense squad battered but alive after the clone had overwhelmed them.
• Lin Guan ordered his team to wait for reinforcements while he rode his floating weapon toward the funnel to buy time.
• Jiang Mian used a Second-tier Wind Element core to store the disguise coat she had taken, then guided the clone into the underwater channel.
• Jiang Mian spotted Qin Xiao resting on Calamity remains and watching the fight between two Eighth-tiers.
• Qin Xiao sensed the clone, formed a water spear with an icy hook, and cast it toward her.

Jiang Mian used a water avatar to test Qin Xiao’s strength and slip past his attempts to restrain it. As the avatar fought toward the open sea, a shock wave and a vast current carrying Calamities and Calamity remains appeared ahead.

• Jiang Mian placed two sets of wind-and-water cores underwater as fallback points, then let her avatar bite Qin Xiao’s hook and countered its ice with fire.
• Qin Xiao pulled the avatar toward the surface, but Jiang Mian escaped its shell and sent the avatar swimming toward the open sea.
• Qin Xiao sensed the avatar’s escape and pursued it with a net of wind and water, while Jiang Mian broke through using a spinning water-and-wind drill.
• Jiang Mian evaded Qin Xiao’s ice spears and disrupted his perception net with a violent whirlpool.
• A ring-shaped shock wave came from the open sea, followed by a vast dark current packed with Calamities and Calamity remains.

Jiang Mian collected Calamity remains while Qin Xiao and Lin Guan watched a growing waterspout beneath the battle between Yu Xi and the [World-Overturning Torrent]. As Yu Xi tried to restrain the calamity, a bubble slipped into the Inverted Sea above.

• Jiang Mian used [Storm Feast] to gather the Calamity remains scattered by the battle and considered feeding them to the [Formless].
• Qin Xiao saw a waterspout expand beneath the Inverted Sea and discussed the danger with Lin Guan.
• Yu Xi froze the sea around the waterspout, but the [World-Overturning Torrent] broke free of her restraint.
• Yu Xi summoned towering Water Element giants to attack the [World-Overturning Torrent].
• A small bubble passed through the frozen waterspout and entered the Inverted Sea.

Jiang Mian escaped the activity zone by using a bubble powered by a Fourth-tier water-element core, while Yang Xin rescued Ye Chenyang, Xiao Song, and others. As the World-Overturning Torrent began retreating toward the outer sea, the group watched it prepare to break through.

• Jiang Mian used the frozen water tornado to slip through the World-Overturning Torrent's domain and reach the outer sea, then abandoned her underwater clone and recovered its core.
• Ye Chenyang thanked Yang Xin for rescuing him and Xiao Song, while Xiao Song questioned Chen Xu about how his bait had attracted a King of Cysts.
• The black dragon turned its gaze toward the group, and Yang Xin brought Qin Xiao and Lin Guan up to join them.
• Ye Chenyang suspected that Jiang Mian was Doom and wondered when she had entered and left the Void Realm.
• The World-Overturning Torrent broke through the surrounding domain and elemental constructs, and the Inverted Sea began retreating with it toward the outer sea.

Jiang Mian absorbed the spatial core and discovered she could reshape and expand her space, then traveled with the World-Overturning Torrent to its deep-sea habitat. There, the dragon offered her an artificial core and a small elemental clone, leaving her wondering whether she could take it with her.

• Jiang Mian burned the spatial core, expanding her space and gaining the ability to reshape its terrain, but she stopped expanding it when her mental energy ran low.
• Jiang Mian worried that Ye Chenyang might return and discover what had happened, and decided to stay hidden rather than risk a confrontation with the eighth-tier Calamities.
• Jiang Mian rode the World-Overturning Torrent beyond human territory to its deep-sea habitat and sent out a new clone with Save Points.
• The World-Overturning Torrent called Jiang Mian its master and produced an artificial core that formed a small black dragon clone.
• Jiang Mian realized the artificial core stored some of the dragon’s mental energy and wondered whether she could pack the clone up and take it with her.

Jiang Mian made a Sea of Misfortune avatar and rested while Ye Chenyang investigated the Calamity’s disappearance and suspected that Jiang Mian was Doom. Ye Chenyang returned to the hotel unsure how much of their time together had been genuine, and Jiang Mian greeted him after checking he was unharmed.

• Jiang Mian used elements and a Core to create a miniature Sea of Misfortune avatar in her space.
• Ye Chenyang searched the archives and found that Sea of Misfortune began acting strangely when a train carrying Jiang Mian entered Base City No. 7’s territory.
• Ye Chenyang connected the timing to Jiang Mian and wondered whether she was Doom, reconsidering their past interactions.
• Ye Chenyang decided to return to the hotel and observe Jiang Mian before deciding what to do.
• Jiang Mian opened the door, checked Ye Chenyang for injuries, and told him she was glad he had returned.

Ye Chenyang returned to the city and wrestled with his suspicions that Jiang Mian was [Doom], while confronting his feelings for her. He decided to hide his doubts and spend the coming week with her, as Jiang Mian left uneasy and Ye Chenyang began forming a plan.

• Jiang Mian worriedly asked Ye Chenyang why he had taken so long, and he found her messages waiting on his phone.
• Ye Chenyang considered whether Jiang Mian had been deceiving him and realized that her possible lie hurt because he had developed feelings for her.

• Jiang Mian asked whether Ye Chenyang would go out again that night, and he said the Training Program was still a week away and they could have fun together.
• Jiang Mian hurried away without asking where he had gone, while Ye Chenyang watched her and began forming a plan.

Jiang Mian struggled to understand why Ye Chenyang was acting so warmly despite possibly suspecting she was Doom. On a night walk, Ye Chenyang revealed that Eternal Day could pass its power to one chosen person after his death, then showed Jiang Mian a sun-like rune.

• Jiang Mian reviewed Ye Chenyang's unusual change in demeanor and worried that he might have identified her as Doom.
• Ye Chenyang decided to build Jiang Mian's trust before she reached the Sixth-tier and invited her for a walk.
• Ye Chenyang and Jiang Mian visited the night market, where he bought her grilled skewers.
• At a quiet overlook, Ye Chenyang told Jiang Mian that he was Eternal Day and explained how Sunset's Afterglow could pass on his power after his death.
• Ye Chenyang extended his hand to Jiang Mian, revealing a sun-like rune mark.

Ye Chenyang gave Jiang Mian the Sun Mark, which protected her mind and strengthened the space inside her consciousness. His gesture and words showed that he trusted her despite knowing about her situation, leaving Jiang Mian flustered and unsure how to face his feelings.

• Ye Chenyang explained that the Sun Mark could protect Jiang Mian from mental attacks and said he was giving it to her because he trusted her.
• Jiang Mian tried to refuse, but Ye Chenyang took her hand and transferred the mark into her body.
• The Sun Mark entered Jiang Mian's consciousness space, where a golden sun appeared and the blue sky expanded; Jiang Mian felt her mind grow clearer.
• Torrent asked if Jiang Mian had defeated a human apex, and Jiang Mian said she had only taken something from him.
• Jiang Mian wondered whether Ye Chenyang would keep her Calamity identity secret and withdrew from her consciousness space.
• Jiang Mian told Ye Chenyang she was sleepy and left, while Ye Chenyang considered the first step of his plan complete.

Jiang Mian wondered whether she could accept Ye Chenyang’s love as she discovered more about her transformed body. The next morning, Ye Chenyang learned Chen Xu had died and considered how to use [Oblivion River]’s threat against it, while Jiang Mian invited him shopping.

• Ye Chenyang brought Jiang Mian back to the hotel and reassured himself that the mark he had given her would protect her.
• Jiang Mian considered accepting Ye Chenyang’s feelings but decided she still needed time and kept her secrets to herself.
• While showering, Jiang Mian entered her Calamity Transformation, found that her scales turned gold when she summoned Fire Element, and accidentally tore a towel with her claws.
• The next morning, Ye Chenyang learned Chen Xu had died from [Withering]’s curse and worried [Oblivion River] could use his soul and memories to expose him.
• Ye Chenyang reasoned that [Oblivion River] was unlikely to attack directly and considered turning its plan against it.
• Jiang Mian sat closer to Ye Chenyang and asked him to go shopping with her.

Jiang Mian went shopping with Ye Chenyang, found herself enjoying his handholding, and returned to her room before checking on a strange sensation from the sea floor. There, she appeared at the underwater platform as Torrent discussed cooperation with a humanoid Calamity.

• Jiang Mian wandered through the shopping district with Ye Chenyang and felt an odd sensation through the Save Point from the sea floor.
• Jiang Mian bought several clothes, and Ye Chenyang took her hand as they left the shop; she squeezed his hand back.
• Jiang Mian returned to her room, sent an avatar through a door to the open sea, and used a miniature Wind Field to handle her new clothes.
• Torrent listened to a humanoid Calamity outline a proposed cooperation and considered waiting for its ruler to decide.
• Jiang Mian appeared at the underwater platform through the Save Point and asked the black shadow if it needed something.

Jiang Mian heard a Calamity agent’s proposal to cooperate and learned that the Calamities planned to target Origin of Myriad Spirits. She chose to stay out of the conflict for now, leaving World-Overturning Torrent to watch and wait while she considered finding another deep-sea behemoth.

• Jiang Mian met a disguised Calamity agent and asked who the Calamities intended to target first.
• The agent said the Calamities planned to target Sequence One, Origin of Myriad Spirits, and gave Jiang Mian a bracelet filled with soul crystals from Oblivion River.
• Jiang Mian tracked the agent as it fled toward the deep sea, then reflected on Origin’s healing abilities and the threat posed by the Calamity apexes.
• Jiang Mian told World-Overturning Torrent to remain in the sea and wait before acting, rather than interfere in the humans’ response.
• Jiang Mian asked Torrent about finding another deep-sea behemoth with an earth attribute, then withdrew her consciousness and returned to her drying clothes.

• Jiang Mian put on a pale blue dress and asked Ye Chenyang what he thought of it.
• Ye Chenyang praised her appearance, asked about her eyes, and offered to make her glasses with a map and direction-finding function.
• Jiang Mian told Ye Chenyang that someone had visited her that morning and recounted their conversation.
• Ye Chenyang inferred that the entities were sounding out [Doom] and [World-Overturning Torrent], and suspected their target was [Guixu].
• Jiang Mian said she had only humored the visitors and left the next steps to Ye Chenyang.

Ye Chenyang considered the threat Oblivion River posed to Origin and Guixu, while he and Jiang Mian grew closer during their stay in Base City No. 7. The chapter ended with Jiang Mian wondering whether her desire for Ye Chenyang’s attention meant she liked him.

• Ye Chenyang realized Oblivion River could target Origin and Guixu, and decided to warn them about the danger.
