Chapter Summaries

Lan Qingyou used Shang Chuan’s supplies and Magic Puppets to brew a large quantity of Explosive Potions for a trial super bomb. After eight hours, she checked the group and discovered that Riesling and Ingrid had joined, with Ingrid’s Rune Stones catching her interest as a possible aid in conquering the area.

Lan Qingyou uncovered dozens of War Tree Demon Saplings and sent their cores and other loot to Shang Chuan, then learned that the Mana Tide had begun while she was still outside. Her group suspected that the Abandoned Mountains cave had unusually high Magic Power, leaving the cause of its springlike conditions unresolved.

• The researchers discussed whether high Magic Power concentration could protect people from Mana Tides and then logged off to test their ideas.
• Lan Qingyou continued toward the stone hut while the remaining chat members talked among themselves.

• Lan Qingyou cut off her connection to the Broom, flew free, and threw a bomb at the slope to stop the Ancient Trees from gathering.
• The bomb exploded and its shock wave sent Lan Qingyou flying through the air.

Lan Qingyou escaped the Ancient Trees with help from Steel Wool and Little Spoon, then asked her group for a way to defeat the four towering World-Class beings. The Chariot claimed he could deal with them if the group supported him.

• Steel Wool dragged Lan Qingyou into a passage as the force of the Ancient Trees' attack blew her away.
• Lan Qingyou summoned her group and reported that four Ancient Trees, each with six skills, had trapped her.
• The group discussed World-Class beings and concluded the Ancient Trees were at least S-Rank and possibly acknowledged by the World Will.
• Lan Qingyou explained that the Ancient Trees were about a hundred meters tall and resisted both fire and the Rolling Blade Beasts' saws.
• After the group failed to find an effective solution, the Chariot said he could handle the Ancient Trees if everyone supported him.

Lan Qingyou reluctantly accepted Steel Godzilla, a giant weapon built by Tarot Villa, and prepared to confront the four Ancient Trees. She flew out with Steel Wool and Little Spoon, carrying the new machine and a Flight Backpack to counter the Ancient Trees’ Magic.

• Lan Qingyou tried to turn down Steel Godzilla, but Tarot Villa’s members urged her to accept it after investing their resources in its construction.

• Gu Xiaobei and Riesling brought food and drinks as the group toasted Lan Qingyou’s expedition.
• Lan Qingyou stored Steel Godzilla in a Card, put on the Flight Backpack made by The Star and The Chariot, and flew out with Steel Wool and Little Spoon.

Lan Qingyou kept the Ancient Tree of War separated from the other Ancient Trees while Steel Godzilla battled it, sending battle images to Tarot Villa. At the villa’s request, she tested the newly built Floating Cannons, which damaged the tree but failed to pierce its trunk.

• Lan Qingyou fed the slope’s fire and used small Explosive Potions to draw the Ancient Tree of War toward Steel Godzilla.
• Steel Godzilla fought the Ancient Tree of War at close range, using its thorium armor to withstand the tree’s attacks.
• Lan Qingyou shared images and battle data with Tarot Villa as its members watched and discussed Steel Godzilla’s performance.
• At The Star’s request, Lan Qingyou launched three Floating Cannons from Steel Godzilla’s back and fired them into the Ancient Tree of War’s wounds.
• The Floating Cannons burned meter-deep holes into the tree but did not pierce through, and Judgment suggested improving their focus.

Lan Qingyou and Steel Godzilla defeated the Ancient Tree of War, and she joined the group in planning how to fight the three remaining Ancient Trees. After learning the defeated tree held no sapling, she used firebreaks and Steel Godzilla to begin separating and attacking the others.

• Lan Qingyou used the Floating Cannons to wear down the Ancient Tree of War while Steel Godzilla blocked its attacks, then vomited after drinking nearly 180 Mana Potions.

Lan Qingyou defeated the Ancient Tree of Knowledge and explored a ritual-like stone house filled with unidentifiable skeletons. Little Spoon discovered a hidden book on Magic Array Drafting, but its contents offered Lan Qingyou little immediate help in combat.

• Lan Qingyou defeated the Ancient Tree of War, the Ancient Tree of Wind, the Ancient Tree of Life, and finally the Ancient Tree of Knowledge after a prolonged battle.
• Lan Qingyou rested, then entered the stone house and found rows of humanlike skeletons that neither the Appraisal Glasses nor the Magic Desk could identify.
• Lan Qingyou sent Shang Chuan a bone to appraise, but the Magic Desk found nothing to report.
• Lan Qingyou searched the stone house and, guided by Little Spoon, found a concealed compartment beneath the stone table.
• Lan Qingyou retrieved a weathered book titled "Magic Array Drafting" and learned that its fundamentals would not directly improve her combat ability.

Lan Qingyou explored the Crystal cluster and found several World-Class treasures, including the Essence Blood of the Star Dragon King. After Shang Chuan appraised the items, she learned the blood could evolve a human into a Dragonkin, leaving her stunned by its potential.

• Little Spoon led Lan Qingyou to four dark entrances inside the Crystal cluster, and she sent a Purple Knight in to investigate.
• Lan Qingyou found a Fire-Seeking Crucible filled with red liquid and a withered branch, then discovered the Crystal cluster itself was also marked as a World-Class item.
• Lan Qingyou stored the three items in her Herb Bag, decided to leave the Crystal cluster untouched until the Mana Tide ended, and set up her tent to rest.
• Shang Chuan appraised the items and identified the crucible, the Ancient Tree Branch, and the Essence Blood of the Star Dragon King.
• Lan Qingyou read that the Dragon King's blood could evolve a human into a Dragonkin and was overwhelmed by the discovery.

Lan Qingyou hesitated to drink the Essence Blood of the Star Dragon King, then decided to use alchemy to reduce the risks of evolving into Dragonkin and correct her attributes. She added sap from a Branch of the Ancient Tree of Life to her potion ingredients, hoping its restorative effects would preserve her appearance and strengthen her body.

• Lan Qingyou judged that the pot held enough Essence Blood of the Star Dragon King to evolve up to 160,000 people and suspected Chu Yuan could buy it.
• She decided not to test a drop of the blood because she feared that becoming Dragonkin might change her appearance, and she considered how evolution could correct Blue Star people's weak attributes.
• Lan Qingyou ordered beauty-enhancing ingredients from Shang Chuan and realized she needed to get creative with the Fire-Seeking Crucible.
• She noticed a War Tree Demon branch, then went out and returned with a Branch of the Ancient Tree of Life.
• Lan Qingyou used The Chariot's Juicer to extract golden sap from the branch, whose effect could restore an aged person's youthful glow and strengthen their physique.

Lan Qingyou brewed a potion using Life Sap and other powerful ingredients, but Three-Eyed Crow eyes accidentally contaminated the Star-Sky Grass. She added her own blood as another variable, bottled 108 portions, and was left with an unknown result.

• Lan Qingyou squeezed sap from three ancient tree branches and learned that each sap could awaken a different kind of knowledge or magic.
• Lan Qingyou began brewing a potion with the Spring of Rest, then Shang Chuan warned her that Three-Eyed Crow eyes had been mixed into the Star-Sky Grass.
• Lan Qingyou found several partly melted eyes in the pot, told Shang Chuan the contamination must not happen again, and left him to handle compensation and punishment.
• Lan Qingyou added more than a hundred drops of her own blood to the potion, turning it Tough Guy Pink.
• Lan Qingyou brewed, cooled, filtered, and bottled 108 portions, but the Appraisal Glasses showed only question marks when she examined them.
• The World Will's voice rang out as Lan Qingyou inspected the unknown potion.

Lan Qingyou drank the World-Class Witch Evolution Potion and transformed into a witch, gaining a Magic Eye and greatly increased attributes. She discovered her new race’s talents and traits, including long life and agelessness, and wondered how Karim’s World Will knew the term “witch.”
