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.

• 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.

Lin An saw a mysterious, rainbow-haired woman who promised to find him soon, but Gu Yue's Reverse Scale drove her apparition away. Gu Yue recognized the aura as belonging to the Dragon God and resolved to find and destroy its remnant before it could revive, while Lin An left shaken and uncertain about the woman's identity.

• Gu Yue feared the Dragon God might still exist and resolved to find its remnant soul and destroy it before it revived.
• Leng Yaozhu pried Gu Yue away from Lin An, and Lin An pulled free while trying to hide his fear and confusion.

Gu Yue began studying human technology more seriously, while Di Tian warned her to keep her distance from the Dragon Queen and avoid exposing herself.

• Di Tian showed Gu Yue a recording of a nuclear weapon destroying millions of Abyssal Creatures, allied forces, and a mountain range.
• Gu Yue felt the radiation at the crater and sensed that the explosion came from physical destruction rather than divine or elemental power.

• Lin An tried to explain that Shadow Brake was examining him, but Gu Yue accused him of lying and demanded to know whether a baby would already have been born.
