• Nan Tian failed to persuade the observers to join the Golden Light Pirate Group, so Wei Ke killed the first refusers and recruited two hundred willing survivors.
• Wei Ke told Nan Tian he would spare him but keep him to help with another task, then assigned the observers to Zhuang Hong for training and supervision.

Blue Fur continued raiding pirate groups in the Chaotic Stone Star Cluster while rumors of his supposed God Level treasure drew fleets and powerful pursuers from the Zhuang Hong Starfield.

• Blue Fur used one hundred and fifty kidnapped observers to scan for passing starships, while Yong Ze checked for God Level powerhouses and Blue Fur led raids on ships without them.
• After another successful raid, Ji Rou struggled to store the overflowing loot, while Zhuang Hong and the others hoped to stop and rest; Blue Fur insisted there were still more pirate groups to rob.
• The rumor of a God Level treasure brought fleets surging from the Zhuang Hong Starfield into the Chaotic Stone Star Cluster, even as Blue Fur remained confident he could escape any pursuer.

His body transformed into a mass of super cells with no clear brain or weaknesses, while he continued toward the peak of bodily enhancement and planned to advance to Saint Spirit.

• The God of Blazing Fire and Yan Zhe concluded that the Golden Light Bandit had used an Endless Heart to escape and speculated about his identity and purpose.
