• Shadow Brake declared the Holy Spirit Cult an enemy of humanity and attacked Leng Yulai's system, forcing Leng Yulai to sever the connection before her location was revealed.

• Gu Yue concluded that Lin An had found someone else and felt as if she had been betrayed.

Lin An left with Shadow Brake, leaving Gu Yue heartbroken outside his dormitory and Tang Wulin convinced he had been dumped. Inside, Lin An began purifying Shadow Brake with a warm, rainbow-colored force.

• Lin An took Shadow Brake away from the crowd, and Ouyang Zixin watched them leave before quietly giving up on her hopes.

At the Spirit Pagoda, Gu Yue broke down after sensing Shadow Brake holding Lin An and Leng Yaozhu warned her to stay away from him and Universal Group.

• Shadow Brake embraced Lin An during purification and asked him to hold still after it ended, while he worried about her loyalty and his need for the Rakshasa God's authority.

• Gu Yue told Leng Yaozhu that she wanted Lin An despite his other woman and his having forgotten her.
• After purification, Sha Ying returned to her emotionless state, and Lin An said the effects would last about a week.
• Lin An fed Sha Ying strawberry cake, noticed her ears turn red, and wondered whether she was developing emotions.
• Sha Ying asked why Lin An was kind to her, and he answered that he feared her strength and needed her protection.
• Sha Ying refused to return to Rainbow Light Verdict and said she wanted to stay in Lin An’s room.
• When Lin An offered to sleep on the sofa, Sha Ying said they would sleep together, surprising him.

Lin An comforted Gu Yue after she apologized for her jealousy and offered him her dragon scales, then worried that her sudden silence meant she was heartbroken. Through the Reverse Scale, Gu Yue sensed his guilt and confirmed nothing had happened with Shadow Brake, but she privately imagined locking Lin An away in a secret chamber.

• Shadow Brake fell asleep beside Lin An, and Gu Yue messaged him with questions about her before sending him a picture of her bloodied dragon scales and apologizing.

• Gu Yue used her connection to the Reverse Scale to sense Lin An's quickened heartbeat and his guilt.

• Gu Yue blushed at the thought of Lin An chained in a chamber and insisted to herself that she was a pure-love kind of person.

Leng Yaozhu advised Gu Yue to stop pursuing Lin An so aggressively and warned her about the people seeking to get close to him. After Leng Yaozhu left, Di Tian proposed dragging Lin An back to the Star Dou Forest, leaving Gu Yue flustered and angry.

• After Leng Yaozhu left, Di Tian appeared and complained that Gu Yue had pulled out one of his scales.
• Di Tian suggested taking Lin An to the Star Dou Forest and having many dragon cubs with him, and Gu Yue blushed and threw a pillow at Di Tian.

Lin An found Gu Yue waiting outside his room, distraught over his closeness with Shadow Brake, and confronted her for keeping tabs on him. Gu Yue apologized and offered him breakfast, and Lin An accepted it while warning her not to spy on him again.

• Lin An woke up to find Shadow Brake gone and prepared to help Xie Xie obtain a Space-Time Type Soul Spirit.
• Gu Yue waited outside Lin An's room with swollen, tearful eyes and apologized for making a scene the previous night.

Lin An took Gu Yue and Xie Xie to the Spirit Pagoda in Eastsea City so Xie Xie could obtain a Soul Ring, while Gu Yue clung to Lin An and tried to hide her jealousy. They arrived at the top-floor VIP lounge, where Leng Yaozhu saw Gu Yue pressed close to Lin An and was disappointed that her advice had not changed Gu Yue’s behavior.

• Gu Yue rode the Island Ring Train beside Lin An, and he gently patted her head while promising to buy her cake.

• Leng Yaozhu saw Gu Yue clinging to Lin An and regretted that her advice had failed to stop Gu Yue from acting like a simp again.

Leng Yaozhu showed Lin An the dangerous Empty Cicada Soul Spirit and quoted seven hundred million Federal Credits for it and the required support. Lin An offered to pay in exchange for recording the absorption process, leaving Leng Yaozhu suspicious of the Universal Group’s motives.

• Leng Yaozhu greeted Lin An while Gu Yue stayed close to him and guarded him from her teacher’s attention.
• Leng Yaozhu presented the Empty Cicada, a unique Soul Spirit from the Abyss Rift whose unstable powers made it deadly for an ordinary Soul Master to absorb.
• Leng Yaozhu quoted a total price of seven hundred million Federal Credits, alarming Gu Yue and Xie Xie.
• Lin An agreed that the price was fair but asked the Spirit Pagoda to record Xie Xie’s absorption of the Empty Cicada and share the data with him.
• Leng Yaozhu questioned whether Lin An was truly buying Xie Xie a Soul Spirit or pursuing research into space-time power.

Lin An paid seven hundred million Federal Credits for Xie Xie to absorb the ten-thousand-year Empty Cicada, trusting in the potential hidden within him. Xie Xie awakened a powerful space-time dragon bloodline and gained a black soul ring, while Lin An’s attempt to copy the trait left him trapped in a frozen, colorless world with an icy hand touching his face.

• Lin An told Leng Yaozhu he wanted to invest in Xie Xie's potential, then paid the full seven hundred million Federal Credits for the Empty Cicada.
• Gu Yue resented the payment and briefly considered killing Xie Xie to get the money back, while Xie Xie nervously hid behind Lin An.
• Leng Yaozhu began the absorption, but Xie Xie's bloodline resonated with the Empty Cicada and drew in its power as his body endured the transformation.
• After four hours, Xie Xie successfully gained a black ten-thousand-year soul ring and an assassination skill that erased him from others' perception.
• Lin An detected and tried to copy Xie Xie's Space-Time Dragon trait, triggering a warning before the world turned monochrome and stopped; an icy hand then touched his face.
