Chapter Summaries

Feng Qi pursued the black shadow through the Technology Research Institute, enduring its security defenses and using Purple Soul to overpower it before it could reach the classified zone. He left the black shadow incapacitated and approached the door hiding its secrets, despite his own battered condition.

• After Jiang Nanqiu died, Mu Qing fought off the warriors who charged at her, while the black shadow escaped into the Technology Research Institute and Feng Qi pursued it.
• Feng Qi endured the Institute’s Laser Cannons, security robots, and locked doors as he chased the black shadow toward the Core Area.

• Feng Qi used telekinesis to slow the black shadow, then used Purple Soul to suppress its energy and pummel it until it could no longer resist.
• After Blood Source Form collapsed, Feng Qi switched to Bone Man Form and approached the door at the end of the passage, hoping to uncover the black shadow’s secrets.

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. Mo also disclosed that humans could serve as vessels for sealing Supreme Experts, leaving Feng Qi to confront the possibility that Black Death God hunted him for that reason.

• Residents across the cities watched reconnaissance footage of devastated Future City, while most Star City residents supported Feng Qi's war against it.

Feng Qi searched Mo’s Restricted Room for information about Little Black and discovered records of a Chimera Demon he had encountered in the Future Dreamland. Outside, Mu Qing fought through the Domain Warriors as eighteen Spirit Race members arrived and confronted her.

Mu Qing broke free of Black Bone’s Miracle Item with a violent awakening, killed it, and rushed to help Feng Qi inside the Technology Research Institute. Feng Qi discovered files about the Infinity Laboratory and faced a decision as Spirit Race members closed in: whether to release the original Little Black sealed in a metal box.

• 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.

• 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.

Feng Qi accidentally opened Little Black’s containment while trying to escape capture by the Spirit Race. Little Black devoured the Sixth Elder’s attacks and began consuming him, while Feng Qi watched from the laboratory.

• 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.

• Feng Qi and Mu Qing gathered surviving files and fled while the Spirit Race fought Little Black, and the Seventh Elder sacrificed himself to let the others escape.

• The fleeing Spirit Race members split up as Little Black pursued them, and Black Brake reversed time to draw Little Black away before it was overwhelmed.

After surviving the battle for Future City, Feng Qi learned that an incurable curse gave him only three months to live, and he spent his remaining time trying to secure Star City’s future. 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.

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.

• 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.

Feng Qi and Little Suction Cup traveled through the ruined future world, where a giant hand dragged a powerful Domain Creature into a space passage. After Feng Qi killed a stitched monster, he discovered Old Mi had been hidden inside it.

Feng Qi watched Little Suction Cup unleash a phantom that devoured the battlefield and drove away a Domain Faction from the City Above the Clouds, but Little Black emerged and defeated her.
