Feng Qi reached the Restricted Room and met Mo, who revealed that the Black Death God Plan was a collection of rules and gave Feng Qi a Spirit Energy Nuclear Weapon before leaving.

• The Spirit Race arrived through a Space Passage, and Mu Qing’s punch badly injured its leader before Black Bone used a purple ring to block her senses and immobilize her.
• The Spirit Race leader sent seventeen members into the Technology Research Institute and ordered Black Bone to guard Mu Qing; Black Bone also immobilized the Domain Warriors and entered Mu Qing’s spiritual world to examine her memories.
• Mu Qing’s buried memories and Scarlet Rune Crystals broke through the darkness, letting her kill Black Bone with her awakened scarlet power before she regained control and ran toward the Institute.
• Feng Qi found an Infinity Laboratory file identifying Mo as Specimen No. 1, then saw warnings that the Spirit Race had entered the Institute and watched Mu Qing approach.
• With Spirit Race members nearing the Restricted Room, Feng Qi considered opening a mysterious metal box that he suspected contained the original Little Black.

• The Spirit Race members combined their power to form a talisman bearing Divine Markings, temporarily freezing Little Black.
• Little Black adapted to the Divine Markings and began moving again, frightening the Seventh Elder into wanting to escape.
• Mu Qing arrived at the Restricted Room, and Feng Qi jumped out from behind the equipment to signal her.

Feng Qi and Mu Qing escaped the Technology Research Institute with documents, but Mu Qing was cursed after retrieving the Spirit Race’s purple ring, leaving Feng Qi unconscious and near death. As Little Black pursued the Spirit Race survivors, Black Brake used its time-reversal ability to buy them a chance to flee before Little Black overwhelmed it.

He died with Mu Qing and his companions beside him, and the people of Star City defied orders to honor him as a hero rather than let him be branded a criminal.

• Feng Qi awoke in Star City Military Hospital seven days after the battle, and Wei Wei told him the Spirit Race had destroyed the Tiger Soul Sub-Base but its personnel had escaped.

• Suction Cup awakened with clear consciousness, recognized Feng Qi, and excitedly leaped into his arms before racing around the laboratory.

Feng Qi took Little Suction Cup into the ruined Star City of the Future Dreamland and fought through a strange botanical garden to gain strength before Little Black arrived. Little Suction Cup helped him attack the plants, and the chapter ended with both of them charging toward the garden’s towering ancient tree.

• Feng Qi learned that Little Suction Cup recognized him from Wei Wei’s photos and his familiar scent, then hurried out of the Scarlet Laboratory to strengthen himself before Little Black arrived.
• Feng Qi saw that Star City had become ruins overrun by strange plants, spotted Little Black approaching from the west, and headed east with Little Suction Cup.
• Little Suction Cup attacked the botanical garden’s plants to protect Feng Qi, and he praised her before activating Blood Source Form and telling her to let him handle the fight.
• Feng Qi killed strange plants with his fists, gained the Moon Harmony Effect and Blood Thorn Sudden Assault abilities, and increased his Bloodline Evolution Points to 6872/10000.
• Feng Qi charged toward the ancient tree at the garden’s center and told Little Suction Cup to pull it out by the roots; she rushed ahead as a jade-colored streamer.
