• Yang Gong waited nearly a month for Jin Liu to return, then flew toward the Dragon Court Mixed Domain to escape.
• Zhuang Hong later appeared behind Yang Gong and asked whether he knew anything about Deep Space Crystals.

The seven herders hesitated to investigate their Pastoral Areas until Jun Yang offered to teach them a spell that let clones use the Void True Eye in exchange for Stone Treasure Domains. Meanwhile, Tong Zuo learned from a Human-Beast Race Void Spirit that Strange Worm Travelers had terrorized the Gazing Star Mixed Domain, then discovered Strange Worms himself; the chapter ended with the story turning to the Strange Worm named Zhuang Hong.

• The seven herders stayed on Lookout Star and debated how to investigate their Pastoral Areas without exposing themselves to danger.

Tong Zuo investigated a sudden infestation of Strange Worms in Broad Domain Zhuang Hong and learned that killing them caused Life Worlds to wither, while the Worms used the threat of destroying more worlds to deter the ranchers. As Red Sun Ranch prepared to clear out the Travelers, Yin Zizhong chose to stay behind and face the crisis with his people, calling it his Final Trial.

• Tong Zuo heard the Human-Beast Race recount Zhuang Hong’s history and concluded that the Strange Worms were not capable of destroying worlds themselves.

Feiyu gathered Stone Treasure Domain, Hua Wanying, Starwatch, and Gan Zhuang Shu to leave Red Sun Ranch and hide from the ranch’s growing threat to the Travelers. He began teleporting toward strange Xu Kaidong to draw danger away from the Travelers hiding there, while Gan Zhuang infiltrated Zhuang Hong and attacked Hua Wanying.

• Gan Zhuang entered Zhuang Hong and secretly approached its cone-shaped asteroid while Dai Hua sensed an enemy and sounded the alarm.

Dai Hua used Mu’s power and the Heart of Infinity to capture Moon Ancestor, extract information, and loot Zhuang Hong. The chapter ended with Lai Zhen discovering that the Heart of Infinity could take him beyond Red Sun Ranch, while he remained trapped and furious.

• Dai Hua woke from the Mental Impact, found her Communication Crystal missing, and realized the alarm and defense system on Lookout Star had been disabled.
• Mu located Zhuang Hong in the Blue Dai Layered Domain, and Dai Hua entered Moon Ancestor’s dream to question her.
• Dai Hua beat Moon Ancestor until she revealed the location and distance of the Yong Ze Star Territory, then used the Heart of Infinity to transport herself, Moon Ancestor, and Lai Zhen away.
• Dai Hua emptied Zhuang Hong’s storage room and carried Moon Ancestor’s body out while Starwatch watched in shock.
• Lai Zhen realized he was in the Blue Dai Layered Domain and suspected the Heart of Infinity could let him leave Red Sun Ranch, but Mu refused to tell him how to use it.

Zhuang Hong continued hunting the pastoralists, killing Dai Hua and Origin Spirit while destroying their Lookout Stars. As Tong Zuo tried to protect the survivors, more Life Crystals shattered, and Zhuang Hong moved on toward his next target.

• Tong Zuo arrived at the Blue Dai Layered Domain but found no trace of Fei Yu, then learned Dai Hua had died too.
• Tong Zuo received news that Zheng Quan and Hong Zhi had also died, leaving the remaining pastoralists in fear as Zhuang Hong's hunt continued.

Tong Zuo tried to protect the remaining herders by sending divine officials to guard other Lookout Stars, but learned that the True Spirit Vortex Lookout Star had already been destroyed. Meanwhile, Wei Ke continued his campaign against the Lookout Stars and prepared to return to the Ying Po Underworld Domain, where he might face divine officials.

• Tong Zuo sent Yang Gong and Si Nan to guard Lookout Stars in other Pastoral Areas while he waited in the Purple Flame Broad Domain.
• Gu Ai and Wei Ke decided to avoid the remaining Azure Crystal Lookout Stars until they could determine where the divine officials were stationed.
• Si Nan reported that the True Spirit Vortex Lookout Star had been destroyed two days earlier and its herders were missing, prompting Tong Zuo to suspect the enemy's tactics.
• Wei Ke found that the herders had not returned to Red Sun Ranch and their Life Crystals remained intact, then took a herder toward the Ying Po Underworld Domain.

• Tong Zuo warned Yang Gong that the enemy might be near the Ying Po Underworld Domain as Wei Ke returned there with the captive herder.

Tong Zuo struggled to protect Red Sun Ranch’s harvest as Zhuang Hong prepared a new attack, sending hundreds of Travelers to advance in two domains. The Lookout Stars detected the advances, and Tong Zuo ordered Jun Yang to mobilize True Gods while the divine officials continued waiting for Zhuang Hong.

• Tong Zuo warned Yang Gong that Zhuang Hong might attack their remaining Lookout Stars, but after days of waiting he suspected Zhuang Hong knew they were watching and weighed the ranch’s growing threats.
• Half a month later, Zhuang Hong had Yin Zizhong begin advancing more than three hundred Travelers in the Purple Flame Broad Domain and the Ying Po Underworld Domain.
• Zhuang Hong told Xu Kaidong that Hua Wanying had one month to strengthen herself enough to reach the True Spirit Level.

• Tong Zuo ordered Jun Yang to activate True Gods to eliminate the newly advanced Strange Worms, leaving Jun Yang to decide how many to dispatch.

Zhuang Hong killed the invading True Gods, prompting Tong Zuo and Yang Gong to abandon the Lookout Stars and try to neutralize the Travelers by putting them to sleep. Yin Zizhong responded by detonating every Nuclear Bomb in Purple Flame Broad Domain, and Tong Zuo and Yang Gong discovered that all its Mayflies had died.

• The Nuclear Bombs destroyed every Life World in the Pastoral Area, and Tong Zuo and Yang Gong found that nearly all the Mayflies were dead.

Zhuang Hong prepared to leave Red Sun Ranch after destroying the nine Lookout Stars and giving Yin Zizhong supplies and advice. After Hua Wanying advanced to True Spirit, Zhuang Hong and his companions used the Endless Heart to depart for the Yong Ze Star Territory, while Yin Guan continued waiting for his return.

• Tong Zuo and Yang Gong decided to wait for the master to return rather than risk further losses in the Purple Flame Broad Domain.
• Zhuang Hong found Lookout Star and the Ying Po Underworld Domain empty of important facilities, then looted and damaged both before deciding to leave Red Sun Ranch.
• Yin Zizhong told Zhuang Hong that the missing Travelers had awakened, and Zhuang Hong urged him to prepare while the Lookout Stars were unusable.
• Zhuang Hong gave Yin Zizhong weapons, materials, and guidance, then left him in the Dragon Court Mixed Domain.
• Zhuang Hong told Xu Kaidong, Blue Fur, and Wei Ke that he would leave the ranch with them, and Hua Wanying advanced to True Spirit fifteen days later.
• Zhuang Hong and his companions activated the Endless Heart and vanished toward the Yong Ze Star Territory, while Yin Guan and Xiao Bai wondered when Zhuang Hong would return.

Zhuang Hong and his companions emerged from long-distance teleportation in an unknown, empty star territory instead of the Yong Ze Star Territory. They took refuge in a spaceship and began mapping the surrounding stars to find their location.

• Zhuang Hong and the others arrived in a lifeless stretch of space, where the teleportation had left them lost and disoriented.
• Zhuang Hong discovered that the Floating Sky Net now connected only him, Xu Kaidong, and Hua Wanying, while his connection to Yin Zizhong and the other Travelers had been severed.
• Wei Ke and Blue Fur could not identify the unfamiliar star territory, and Zhuang Hong told Wei Ke to search for the nearby Yong Ze Star Territory.
• Zhuang Hong brought out a spaceship, and the group entered it to escape the discomfort of floating in open space.
• Zhuang Hong activated the Intelligent System and assigned it and Wei Ke to map the stars and determine their location.

Aboard the spaceship in the Blank Star Territory, Zhuang Hong settled into cultivation and considered how to reach Sacred Spirit Level before eventually returning to Red Sun Ranch. He decided to strengthen his body and Source Power first, while Xu Kaidong and the others endured the force of his aura and studied the Star Chart.

• Zhuang Hong resolved to cultivate, learn about the God of Time, and return to Red Sun Ranch to reclaim his homeland and find his disciples.
• Zhuang Hong remembered that he had left Yin Guan and Xiao Bai behind, then tried to put his worries aside and focus on cultivation.
• Zhuang Hong assessed his path to Sacred Spirit Level and concluded that he needed to balance his Mental Strength, Source Power, and physical body before attempting the breakthrough.
• Zhuang Hong searched his Storage Space for items that could strengthen his body as Xu Kaidong, Hua Wanying, Blue Fur, and Wei Ke reacted to his overwhelming aura.
• Wei Ke agreed to teach Xu Kaidong and Hua Wanying how to read the Star Chart, but told Blue Fur to get lost when he asked to learn too.

After fifteen years in space, Wei Ke located the Yong Ze Star Territory, and Zhuang Hong used the Endless Heart to teleport the group through a series of star territories. They reached the area near their destination, where Zhuang Hong decided they would fly the remaining distance and use the twenty years to prepare.

• Wei Ke identified the Yong Ze Star Territory on the Star Chart and estimated that flying there would take at least thirty thousand years.
• Five years later, Wei Ke calculated a route, and Zhuang Hong chose to teleport the group instead of making the long flight.
• Zhuang Hong teleported everyone to a distant star territory, where Wei Ke used the spaceship to determine their location.
• Zhuang Hong made eight more jumps, bringing the group near the Yong Ze Star Territory, though the repeated teleportation left them exhausted.
• Wei Ke estimated that flying the remaining distance would take about twenty years, so Zhuang Hong chose to continue by spaceship and prepare along the way.

As the spacecraft traveled toward the Yong Ze Star Territory, Zhuang Hong reflected on the slow progress of cultivation and his need for body-enhancing treasures. The group watched a Hunting Squad attack a Star Devouring Whale, and the whale's strange fluctuation briefly paralyzed everyone except Zhuang Hong.

• After ten years of cultivation, Zhuang Hong had gained only a sliver of Source Power and little physical strength, so he planned to seek body-enhancing materials in the Yong Ze Star Territory.
• Wei Ke spotted a Hunting Squad attacking a Star Devouring Whale, and Zhuang Hong joined the others in watching through the spacecraft's monitors.
• Wei Ke explained that Star Beasts were dangerous predators whose bodies contained valuable spirit source, while Xu Kaidong eagerly suggested hunting one.
• The Star Devouring Whale opened its mouth and released a fluctuation that froze the attackers and briefly stiffened everyone aboard the spacecraft except Zhuang Hong, whose defensive Magic Treasure protected him.

Zhuang Hong and his companions watched a Star Devouring Whale overwhelm Cosmic Spirit Race members who were trying to protect their starship. After learning that the whale carried valuable Whale Oil, Zhuang Hong headed toward the battle, but the ship arrived too late to stop the whale from swallowing the starship and its nearly thousand passengers.

• The Star Devouring Whale swallowed more than thirty Spirit Race members, and Wei Ke explained that escaping was the best way to deal with the beast.
• Zhuang Hong realized the Spirit Race members were holding back the whale while their starship fled, and the group decided to wait rather than rescue strangers.
• Wei Ke explained that Whale Oil was valuable and could strengthen the body, so Zhuang Hong ordered their ship toward the battle.
• A day later, only about twenty defenders remained, and the whale's shock stiffened them as its tentacles seized the starship.
• The whale dragged the starship and nearly a thousand helpless passengers toward its open mouth while the remaining defenders watched in despair.

Zhuang Hong rescued a Spirit Race starship by attacking the Star Devouring Whale, eventually blasting off its head with thousands of Golden Light Bullets. The whale remained alive, and when the nearby experts thanked him, Zhuang Hong told them they had been captured and demanded their surrender.

• Zhuang Hong shattered the whale's tentacles with a greatsword strike, then blasted a crater into its head with a super doubled Golden Light Bullet.
• Zhuang Hong summoned thousands of Little Spirits, which bombarded the whale's head until it was blasted away and the starship escaped.
• Xu Kaidong, Hua Wanying, Wei Ke, and Blue Fur watched Zhuang Hong's display in shock.
• Zhuang Hong realized the headless whale was still moving and considered attacking it again.
• More than twenty Primal Spirit Level experts approached Zhuang Hong to thank him, but he declared that he had captured them and asked whether they would surrender.
