• Li Ming investigated an alert about two abnormal accounts and realized they had come from Soul Beasts in the Life Forbidden Zone.

Li Ming discovered that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had created Fate AI from Fate Power and brought two Soul Beasts into the Dream Space. After confirming he could control Fate AI and having the Satellite AI inspect it, he restricted its permissions and began considering its capabilities.

Li Ming used the Satellite AI’s security system to counter an assassination attempt in the Dream Space, killing the attackers with Pulse Beams in reality. The witnesses began to fear that Purple Heaven City was unsafe, while Li Ming confirmed the weapon could instantly kill a Spirit Saint.

• Bibi Dong’s recruited Dream specialists tried to bind Li Ming’s mental power and locate him, but the Satellite AI’s Firewall blocked their attacks.
• Li Ming explained that the Satellite AI had detected the intruders and prepared its defenses, including satellites aimed at their real-world locations.

Li Ming used Fate AI to create the Thirty-Six Swift Blades and improve the Pulse Beam, then grew Purple Heaven City’s income through its services and rentals. He offered the Red Tiger Mercenary Group a long-term contract, leaving their response pending.

• Bibi Dong learned that two groups sent against Purple Heaven City had died in the same way and dismissed the City Lord’s challenge as a bluff.
• Li Ming tested the Thirty-Six Swift Blades, a saber technique Fate AI generated from the Chaos Cloaking Hammer Technique and installed as a reality program.

• Li Ming met with Greenlark Douluo, Qian Daoliu, and Spirit Hall’s elders, who offered gifts to resolve the conflict over Bibi Dong’s actions.

• Li Ming used a satellite’s Scorching Beam to clear the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, sparing the Immortal Herbs.
• Li Ming confirmed that Dugu Bo was in Heaven Dou City and would not return until the next morning, then had Zhu Qing and the others watch for him.
• The Red Tiger Mercenary Group entered the Sunset Forest under cover of night and began dispersing the toxic mist with a wolf martial soul.

Li Ming stole a crate of Immortal Herbs from the Red Tiger Mercenary Group and safely consumed the Tulip of Encompassing Glory. His Martial Soul underwent a Secondary Awakening into a Space Station, and he discovered it had gained advanced technological sectors and new powers.

Over a month, Li Ming expanded Purple Heaven City and advanced his research into Soul Beasts, discovering that space could help eggs develop more powerful potential and that living Soul Beast cells absorbed Soul Power. He wondered whether cultivated cells could produce Soul Rings, possibly even a Million-Year Soul Ring from Di Tian’s cells.

Di Tian challenged Li Ming to prove he could increase the Star Dou Great Forest’s fortune, wagering that Li Ming would have to remain there for life if he failed. After the two AIs estimated the potential effects of Li Ming’s projects, he accepted and asked for some of Di Tian’s blood.

• Di Tian argued that the Star Dou Great Forest’s fortune changed over millennia and challenged Li Ming to stay in the forest for life if he failed to raise it.
• Li Ming used Fate AI and Satellite AI to estimate how his Space Soul Beast Project and Soul Beast Cell Project could affect the forest’s fortune.
• After waiting while Di Tian and the Auspicious Beast ate refreshments, Li Ming saw that both projects had promising projected effects, with the Soul Beast Cell Project showing the higher estimate.
• Di Tian asked whether Li Ming had decided, and Li Ming confidently accepted the wager.
