Autumn’s family discussed the hardships facing the Yisi people, while Xiao Yuan grew quickly and underwent his first talent assessment. The chapter ended with Autumn learning that Xiao Yuan’s overall talent was C-, though his unusually high Genetic Origin Energy utilization rate might indicate Spirit Reader potential.

• Autumn’s family agreed to live frugally and devote their resources to raising Xiao Yuan, while Yisi leaders decided to reduce elite cultivation resources and condense Universe Crystals to offset the Light-Deriving Snake Race’s pressure.
• Three-year-old Xiao Yuan reached Apprentice Tier 3 and asked Autumn why people lived in crowded cities instead of building beyond the energy shield.
• Autumn explained that Desolate Beasts made the wilderness dangerous, and Xiao Yuan vowed to train hard enough to fight them when he grew up.
• Autumn took Xiao Yuan to the Martial Arts Hall for his first talent assessment, where staff said Spirit Reader potential would be tested when he was twelve.
• The assessment rated Xiao Yuan C-, with scores near D+, but his high Genetic Origin Energy utilization rate gave Autumn hope that he might become a Spirit Reader.

After Xiao Yuan received an average C- talent rating, Autumn returned to work at the No. 3 Main Mine and learned that his insistence on surveying the old mining area had uncovered a rich ore deposit. Legislator Ross promoted Autumn to commander of the Third Mining Team, and Autumn called home to share the news.

At twelve, Yuan took his second talent test and discovered a mysterious purple crystal in his Consciousness Sea, though he forgot seeing it afterward. His results showed an unusually high Brain Domain Width but weak Spiritual Force, and his parents kept the score secret as he prepared to begin cultivating Genetic Origin Energy.

• Yuan raced home from the Martial Arts Academy, narrowly avoiding Old Man Luo, then playfully sparred with his father, Autumn.
• Autumn and Doris accompanied Yuan to his second talent test, where he endured a painful examination of his Brain Domain Width.
• Inside his Consciousness Sea, Yuan saw a dazzling dark-purple diamond-shaped crystal, then forgot about it after waking.
• The staff reported Yuan's Brain Domain Width as 37, Grade A+, but found his Spiritual Force concentration surprisingly low.
• Autumn persuaded the staff to give Yuan an unreported C+ overall rating, and he and Doris told Yuan to keep his Brain Domain Width secret.
• Autumn reminded Yuan that he could now begin cultivating Genetic Origin Energy, while he returned to his work at the mine.

Yuan applied to study Genetic Origin Energy cultivation and began training, rapidly advancing as a warrior while discovering a mysterious purple crystal in his Consciousness Sea. The crystal absorbed excess energy and seemed to limit his Spiritual Force, but Yuan could not remember it after leaving the Consciousness Sea.

• Yuan reassured Doris about cultivation and applied through the Martial Arts Hall website for the Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method and the Basic Guide for Psychics.
• Yuan studied the cultivation instructions and absorbed Universe Energy, advancing from Apprentice Level 6 to Apprentice Level 8.
• Yuan tried to move a cup with his Spiritual Force but failed, then entered his Consciousness Sea and found a dark purple crystal absorbing most of the incoming energy.
• Yuan left his Consciousness Sea intending to look up the crystal, forgot what he had wanted to search, and resumed cultivating.
• Yuan realized he had likely seen the purple crystal during his earlier talent assessment but had forgotten it after leaving his Consciousness Sea.

Yuan struggled to understand the Purple Crystal in his Consciousness Sea while preparing for his aptitude assessment and trying to break through to Earth Rank. His first breakthrough attempt failed, leaving him badly injured and using up some of his body's potential.

• Yuan tried various ways to remember and investigate the Purple Crystal, but found no useful information and decided to leave the mystery alone for the time being.
• At the academy, Karin Wright tried to comfort Yuan about his C+ Spirit Reader aptitude, and Yuan's speech lifted the spirits of his classmates.
• Yuan wondered whether the Purple Crystal caused people to like him, while his Genetic Warrior and Spirit Reader strengths continued to grow.
• Yuan played games with Old Man Luo and lost badly, then reached the peak of Apprentice Level 9 as a Genetic Warrior and Apprentice Level 7 as a Spirit Reader.
• Yuan attempted the nine-movement breakthrough method, but an invisible force scattered his Genetic Origin Energy before it could condense, leaving him injured and with some of his potential spent.

A mysterious investigator uncovered Yuan Stone’s exceptional Brain Domain Width and recent Spiritual Force progress, then was killed after secretly transferring his findings. Yuan studied the Earth Rank breakthrough and its consciousness requirements, but held off on attempting the Seven-Layer Divine Thought Tower and went out for a walk.

• A tall man questioned a short investigator about Yuan Stone’s test results and cultivation, then had him transfer the information in person.
• The short investigator died in a surveillance blind spot and dissolved into black ash, leaving only his suit behind.
• AI3 and K30 discussed Yuan’s long stay at the peak of the ninth Apprentice Rank while he trained with five Flying Shuttles.
• Yuan studied how consciousness and Spiritual Force enabled a Spirit Reader’s breakthrough, memorized the Seven-Layer Divine Thought Tower method, and decided not to try it yet.
• Yuan recalled Yiming’s teasing about his romantic prospects and chose to go for a walk after spending much of his time at home.

During the Tuka Tribe’s emergency lockdown, Yuan learned that his father was trapped in the No. 3 Main Mine after two Light-Deriving Snake experts arrived. He decided to leave the city to reach his father, unaware that a hidden organization was manipulating events to make him go and had chosen to use a rare Mandala Liquid to force his breakthrough.

• The Tuka Tribe activated its war-mode energy shield after the Light-Deriving Snake Race triggered a wartime alert, and two Earth Rank men escorted Yuan home.
• Doris told Yuan that his father Autumn’s mining team had been buried underground at the No. 3 Main Mine, though they were sheltering in a safety pod.
• Yuan noticed that his urge to stay home conflicted with his determination to help his father, examined the purple crystal in his Consciousness Sea, and set out with his father’s backup identity card.
• A hidden organization tracked Yuan’s departure and arranged for Tuowei to intercept him near the north gate, then guide him toward a Scavenger Team’s supposed route out of the city.
• After Yuan’s attempts to leave through the gate failed, the organization decided to use its precious Mandala Liquid to make him break through and leave of his own accord.

Yuan used Tuowei’s Spirit Condensation Method to break through to Earth Rank so he could reach the mine and protect his family. After a shadow secretly gave him Mandala Liquid, Yuan succeeded, and the chapter ended with his body transformed and Dongyuan Planet’s gravity no longer weighing on him as heavily.

• Yuan hurried to leave the city and reach the mine, hoping to stop his mother from joining a dangerous rescue or take her place.
• Tuowei told Yuan the city gate was difficult to pass and offered him the Spirit Condensation Method as a way to reach Earth Rank quickly.
• Yuan paid Tuowei for the method, studied it, and began compressing his Spiritual Force despite the risk of severe soul damage.
• A shadow secretly dripped Mandala Liquid onto Yuan’s crown, and the Purple Crystal in his Consciousness Sea absorbed most of it.
• Yuan sensed the light around him, completed the method, and formed a sphere of light in his Consciousness Sea.
• Yuan’s Earth Rank Spiritual Force transformed his body, and he used the Micro-Planet’s power to resist some of Dongyuan Planet’s gravity.

After breaking through to Earth Rank, Yuan learned about his new Micro-Planet and the rudiments of a light Conception. The Purple Crystal in his mind awakened, revealed that Yuan and his family were caught up in its pursuers’ plans, and told him to leave the city without going to the mine; Yuan then joined the Scavenger Team as it prepared to depart.

• Yuan discovered that Earth Rank gave his Spiritual Force a Micro-Planet, and Tuowei explained how his light attribute might lead to an ability on the Illusion path.
• Yuan tested his increased strength, but the Purple Crystal suddenly spoke to him and demanded that he follow its lead if he wanted to save his father.
• The Purple Crystal claimed that Yuan’s escape, breakthrough, and chance to leave the city had all resulted from a powerhouse pursuing it, and warned him not to go directly to the mine.
• The Purple Crystal urged Yuan to leave the city by another route, saying it had absorbed enough power to help them escape their pursuers.
• Tuowei brought Yuan to the Scavenger Team’s courtyard, introduced its Flying Star Rank captain Jona Guila, and wished him well before Yuan prepared to leave with the team.

Yuan joined Jona Guila’s Scavenger Team and left the city, where Purple Crystal triggered his breakthrough to Earth Rank as a Genetic Warrior. The breakthrough gave Yuan the rare light-category ability Light Distortion, and Purple Crystal prepared to use his Light Conception to help them escape.

• Jona Guila appointed an honest-looking team member to teach Yuan how to pilot an Action Mecha, while Purple Crystal warned him that powerful enemies had infiltrated the Scavenger Team.
• Yuan learned that the team’s enemies had spent a drop of Mandala Liquid to help him break through, and Purple Crystal promised to draw out his Genetic Origin Energy and use his Conception to escape.
• Yuan left the formation just beyond the city gates and pretended to begin a breakthrough, prompting Jona to order the team to land and guard him.
• Purple Crystal guided Yuan through his breakthrough to Earth Rank as a Genetic Warrior, forming a silvery-white Micro-Planet in his Dantian and transforming his body.
• Purple Crystal identified Yuan’s special ability as the rare light-category Light Distortion and explained how Genetic Origin Energy supported his Light Conception.
• Purple Crystal told Yuan to return to his mecha and watch as he prepared to use the Light Conception.

After Yuan reached the first stage of Earth Rank and learned that Jona Guila was Brandy Guila’s sister, the Purple Crystal took control of his body to escape Sky Rank pursuers. Yuan awoke in a cave among strangers, weak and unable to contact the Purple Crystal, and began recovering with energy from a stone.

• Yuan revealed his name to Jona Guila, who recognized him as Brandy Guila’s crush and teased him about her sister.
• Yuan learned from his mother that the Light-Deriving Snakes had left and Autumn would soon be rescued.
• The Purple Crystal sensed hidden Sky Rank pursuers and told Yuan to move his mecha; Yuan smashed its emergency stop button and shifted it aside.
• The Purple Crystal took control of Yuan and used Light Chasing Flash to vanish with his mecha, leaving the four pursuers behind.
• Yuan woke in a cave beside his mecha, where a little girl and her parents gave him soup and a stone to absorb energy from.

Yuan recovered in a cave with help from Shenghui and Chaiting, members of the Human Race, and traded control of his Action Mecha for a Wenshui Stone. As he began restoring his cultivation, he discovered he was an Earth Rank Three cultivator and a second-rank Earth Rank Spirit Reader, but he remained stranded far from the Isis Race cities and unable to activate the Purple Crystal.

• Yuan absorbed the Wenshui Stone's gentle energy while Chaiting instructed him to guide it toward the Micro-Planet in his Dantian.
• Shenghui introduced himself, Chaiting, and their daughter as members of the Human Race, then offered Yuan the Wenshui Stone in exchange for control of his Action Mecha.
• Yuan gave Shenghui control of the mecha and asked for an escort to an Isis Race city, but Shenghui said he could not leave his people and explained that the nearest city was seven or eight hundred thousand kilometers away.
• After Shenghui and the others left, Yuan felt frightened and lonely in the cave, then resumed using the Wenshui Stone to recover.
• Yuan discovered three dim Micro-Planets in his Dantian and two Spiritual Force Micro-Planets in his Consciousness Sea, confirming he was an Earth Rank Three cultivator and a second-rank Earth Rank Spirit Reader.
• Yuan restored his energy by absorbing Universe Energy, but the Purple Crystal remained unresponsive when he tried to feed it energy.

Yuan sought guidance from Shenghui on using his newly comprehended Light Conception and building combat strength, then discovered he had a natural affinity for the sword. He chose the Die Feng Sword Art and agreed to help defend the village and teach its children in exchange for a Tier 1 Origin Energy Weapon sword.

• Yuan surveyed the Human Race village and found Shenghui discussing how many people the Action Mecha could carry.
• Shenghui explained the Starship Humans’ history and advised Yuan to strengthen his Conception by mastering a weapon, while avoiding risky Spirit Reader cultivation methods.
• Yuan tested the village’s practice weapons and found that a sword felt like an extension of his body.
• Shenghui offered Yuan a choice of sword arts, and Yuan chose the wind-attribute Die Feng Sword Art.
• Shenghui promised Yuan a Tier 1 Origin Energy Weapon sword if he helped defend the village and teach its Apprentice Rank children, and Yuan accepted.

Shenghui and Sijian gave Yuan the complete Immortal-level Die Feng Sword Art, hoping to forge a lasting connection with the talented outsider. Yuan progressed rapidly in sword practice and grew stronger during his time with the Starship Humans, then agreed to join a Desolate Beast hunt to gain real combat experience.

• Shenghui and Sijian sent Yuan the complete Die Feng Sword Art, and Yuan learned that its six layers could guide a cultivator all the way to Immortal Level.
• Yuan struggled to release extra bursts of Dark Force, but he mastered the eighteen moves of the first stage in half a day and astonished the villagers.
• Shenghui gave Yuan first-rank Origin Energy armor and a silver-white longsword as a reward for helping protect the village.
• After nearly fifteen days with the Starship Humans, Yuan reached third-stage Earth Rank as a Spirit Reader and helped villagers with mechs, cultivation, and repairs.
• Shenghui invited Yuan to hunt Desolate Beasts so he could seek a breakthrough in battle, and Yuan accepted after preparing with the village's hunters.

Yuan fought his first Desolate Beast, relying on his swordsmanship and Light Artistic Conception rather than Spiritual Force. After repeatedly exploiting the Fang Beast’s injuries, he delivered a devastating final slash and left it convulsing, though the fight’s outcome had not yet been confirmed.

• Shenghui and Sijian watched as Yuan approached an Earth Rank Fifth Order Fang Beast, while the others gathered in the trees to observe.
• The Fang Beast ambushed Yuan with its tail, hooves, and horn, but he dodged and used nearby trees to blunt its charges.
• Yuan wounded the Fang Beast’s neck with a spinning slash, and his Light Artistic Conception began distorting the scene around them.
• Yuan evaded the Fang Beast’s repeated attacks and deepened the neck wound with another sword strike.
• Yuan’s sword shone silver-white as he slashed deep into the Fang Beast’s head, causing it to howl, thrash, and crash into a tree.

Yuan killed his first Desolate Beast, learned from Zong Cao how to exploit an enemy’s weak points, and joined the hunting team’s expanded hunt. While dissecting an Iron-Backed Hyena Rat, he found a familiar-looking silver-white ring hidden inside a healed wound.

• Yuan removed the Fang Beast’s horn after killing it, and Shenghui and Sijian praised his mastery of the Light Artistic Conception.
• Zong Cao killed a Cixiao with a quick strike and taught Yuan to create openings and target Desolate Beasts’ weak points.
• Shenghui announced that the fighters could use the extra time to hunt, and Yuan joined a team to battle Earth Rank Desolate Beasts.
• Yuan quickly killed a young Iron-Backed Hyena Rat and began skinning it after the fight.
• Yuan found a healed, stitched wound in the rat’s belly and pulled a bloodstained silver-white ring from inside.

Yuan secretly kept a Space Ring recovered from a Desolate Beast and tried to claim it while the Starship Humans explored Xingduo Lake. The ring’s North Rock Race owners planned to investigate its disappearance, while Yuan managed to erase the ring’s Spiritual Imprint and make it vanish into his skin.

• Yuan hid the silver ring in his pack after finding it inside the Desolate Beast, keeping its existence from Shenghui and the others.
• The North Rock Race survivors discovered that the ring and their trade resources were lost, but their leader refused to risk sending anyone into the wasteland and agreed to send a tamed Desolate Beast to investigate.
• Yuan continued hunting with the Starship Humans, reached the peak of the Earth Rank, and traveled with the group to Xingduo Lake.
• Shenghui and Sijian took the Flying Star Rank members deeper into the lake, leaving Yuan with the Earth Rank group near the shore.
• Yuan used his Spiritual Force to wear away the ring’s original Spiritual Imprint, then slipped the ring onto his thumb and watched it disappear into his skin.
