Chapter Summaries

Chapter Summary: “Fleshball, Heart, Gallbladder, Tailbone”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Ziran successfully takes control of Andre’s body after a dangerous struggle. He narrowly avoids being exposed by Feng, who notices Andre’s unusual behavior but ultimately leaves when Li Ziran orders him away.
• Ke’er reveals that she has trapped Andre’s soul inside her Derivative Space. The space allows Li Ziran enough privacy and slowed time to dissect Andre’s body safely.
• Li Ziran enters the Derivative Space, transfers his consciousness into a spare shell, and begins examining Andre’s extraordinary Light Organs.
• He discovers several highly evolved organs:
  • A luminous organ in the temple representing the Sealing Spell.
  • A heart containing blazing Light and dark Purification Marks, revealing an advanced form of the Purification Flame.
  • A dark-red Resurrection Gallbladder, whose exact function Li Ziran cannot yet understand.
  • A bone-like organ in the tailbone whose power remains unclear.
• Li Ziran attempts to transplant the tailbone organ into himself. Initially, he feels no effect, but he suddenly begins hearing countless voices praising him and asking for guidance.
• The chapter ends with Li Ziran realizing that the tailbone organ may allow him to receive or perceive faith from other living beings.

Character Development

• Despite his usually calm and clinical nature, Li Ziran becomes emotionally excited and even trembles while handling Andre’s organs. He recognizes them as an unparalleled “treasure vault.”
• His understanding of Light Organs expands. He realizes that Light Element can evolve into radically different forms and abilities rather than following a single pattern.
• Ke’er proves crucial to Li Ziran’s success by trapping Andre’s soul and providing a secure Derivative Space. Her exhaustion shows the cost of her assistance.

• The Corpse Witch assists with the tailbone-organ transplant, working simultaneously on Li Ziran’s body while Li Ziran examines Andre’s.
• The voices heard after the transplant imply a broader relationship between Li Ziran and countless followers or beneficiaries, suggesting that his past actions have inspired widespread devotion.

Li Ziran discovered that Andre’s Tailbone gathered faith and formed a new space, while his navel could send his knowledge to believers as blessings. After learning to control this power, he continued examining Andre for more Light Organs.

• Li Ziran’s Tailbone absorbed the prayers of believers, transforming into a strange organ that created a space filled with images of those who believed in him.
• Li Ziran examined his navel and discovered that it worked with the Tailbone to transmit thoughts and knowledge through the faith world.

• Li Ziran identified his navel as a greater blessing organ and learned to choose what thoughts or knowledge he sent to believers.
• Li Ziran returned to Andre and cut open the sole of his foot to investigate another Light Organ.

Chapter Summary: “Goat’s Charm”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Ziran carefully dissects Andre and identifies seven extraordinarily refined Light Organs hidden within his body.
• He discovers that the organs are arranged according to the Sheep Transformation Spell, each occupying a crucial point in the spell’s structure.
• The seventh organ, an eye-like organ embedded in the sole of the foot, appears to possess a healing function. Li Ziran theorizes that it is the foundation of the priests’ healing abilities.
• Li Ziran transplants the Light Organs into his own sheep-form body. Because of the Sheep Transformation Spell, his body naturally accepts and integrates the organs.
• He experiences the formation of a Faith World, where the wishes of living beings are converted into energy and refined through the organs into a purer, higher-tier Light Element.
• He traces the energy’s progression through the organs: Faith is purified, reinforced, sealed, dispersed, annihilated, and resurrected into a new form before being released through the Healing Eye.
• Li Ziran concludes that Andre’s system is incomplete. Although it contains seven organs, there should be twelve, and the existing arrangement is only a semi-finished version of the true Light Element system.
• He realizes that similar transformation systems might allow Natural Elements to evolve into higher-tier forms.
• Li Ziran restores his human body by allowing Andre’s blood to activate and dismantle the Sheep Transformation Spell. His Hellhound tongue, Devouring Serpent Stomach, and newly acquired Light Element system all return.
• He decides to leave the Human Race, negotiate territorial compensation for the Elves, work with Demons to obtain the remaining organs, and pursue future projects involving Ke’er, modified Elves, and the Primordial Elf.
• Returning from Derivative Space, he finds Ke’er asleep. After kissing her, she wakes and coldly remarks that his tongue has no sensation.

2. Character Development

• Li Ziran grows more ambitious and confident in his understanding of magical anatomy and elemental systems. His examination of Andre transforms his curiosity into a concrete theory of elemental refinement.
• He becomes increasingly convinced that the Light Element system can be perfected and replicated, potentially allowing other elements to advance in the same way.
• His greed for knowledge and rare organs is evident, but he is able to restrain it when necessary and focus on completing his larger objectives.
• Li Ziran also reclaims his former abilities and bodily senses, making him more powerful than before.
• Andre is revealed to be less than the perfect creation Li Ziran initially imagined. His body contains an advanced but incomplete Light Organ system, making him a valuable “semi-finished product.”
• Ke’er remains emotionally distant and physically exhausted. Her cold response to Li Ziran’s kiss suggests that something about her body or condition has changed, creating an ominous or mysterious conclusion.

3. Significant Themes

• Perfection and incompleteness: Even an apparently flawless creation can be only a prototype. Li Ziran’s discovery that Andre’s body lacks five organs reinforces the idea that perfection is always further away than expected.
• Knowledge through dissection and experimentation: Li Ziran advances by physically analyzing and transplanting organs, treating the body as both a magical system and a machine.
• Transformation and refinement: Faith is processed through multiple organs and converted into a purer Light Element, symbolizing the elevation of crude power into a higher form.
• Faith as energy and exploitation: The wishes of living beings function as fuel for the Light Goat, implying a potentially exploitative relationship between divine systems and ordinary people.
• Scientific and magical synthesis: Surgery, anatomy, spell diagrams, and elemental theory combine into a single method of discovery.
• Power and opportunism: Li Ziran views territories, alliances, and even other races primarily as resources and opportunities for his continued advancement.

4. Character Interactions

• Li Ziran’s interaction with Andre is primarily experimental and invasive: he dissects Andre, studies his organs, and uses the body to understand the Light Element system.
• His connection with Ke’er is more personal but still complicated by his instrumental view of others. He credits her for helping him obtain Andre, kisses her while she sleeps, and is immediately met with her detached criticism.
• Li Ziran plans future negotiations with Anfuni to transfer Human territory to the Elves, showing his continued political involvement despite abandoning his role as deputy council chairman.
• He also considers cooperation with Demons to acquire the missing Light Organs, indicating his willingness to form alliances across racial and political boundaries.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Ziran discovers that Ke’er has been possessed by Andre, whose soul has taken control of the Elven Queen’s body.
• Andre taunts Li Ziran, exploiting Ke’er’s appearance and memories while threatening to reveal her identity as the Elven Queen to the Human King.
• Li Ziran initially tries to negotiate, offering almost anything in exchange for Ke’er’s release, but realizes Andre is manipulating his concern for her.
• Using his Transformation Spell, Li Ziran transforms Ke’er’s body into a frog. Because Ke’er possesses a Resurrection Gallbladder, he uses the threat of killing her repeatedly to pressure Andre.
• Andre deliberately allows himself to “die,” using the Resurrection Gallbladder to gain complete control over Ke’er’s body and soul. He then demands that Li Ziran surrender his Light Organs, seal his soul, and give up his memories and body.
• Li Ziran refuses and activates a powerful Transformation Array enhanced by Natural Elements, intending to permanently reduce Andre to an ordinary frog.
• Under the pressure of the array, Andre’s soul finally abandons Ke’er’s body and escapes toward his Derivative Space.
• Li Ziran uses the Devouring Curse to capture Andre’s fleeing soul, absorbing his memories and learning the location of Andre’s Derivative Space and hidden organs.
• He then restores Ke’er from her transformed state, successfully separating her from Andre.
• Just as Ke’er recovers, Anfuni arrives with an emergency warning: the Elemental Forecast claims that Li Ziran, allegedly the “Corrupted Witch Doctor,” has possessed Councilor Woz and is attempting to overthrow the Human Race.

Character Developments

• Li Ziran: Demonstrates both emotional conflict and increasing ruthlessness. Although he deeply wants to save Ke’er, he refuses to sacrifice himself or surrender his powers to Andre. He overcomes his attachment long enough to use Ke’er as leverage, showing greater strategic resolve and willingness to make painful decisions.
• Ke’er: Is temporarily stripped of control over her own body and used as a vessel by Andre. After being restored, she remains physically weak but confirms that she trusted Li Ziran not to truly abandon her.
• Andre: Reveals himself as manipulative, sadistic, and opportunistic. He uses Ke’er’s memories and Li Ziran’s feelings against him, but ultimately lacks the resolve to endure permanent transformation. His escape attempt fails when Li Ziran captures his soul and absorbs his memories.
• Anfuni: Acts as the bearer of the crisis announcement, introducing a new and potentially larger threat involving Councilor Woz and the Human Race.

Significant Themes

• Trust versus manipulation: Andre weaponizes Ke’er’s memories and Li Ziran’s affection, while Li Ziran must distinguish genuine danger from psychological provocation.
• Emotional attachment versus resolve: Li Ziran’s concern for Ke’er nearly compromises him, but he ultimately chooses decisive action to save her without surrendering his own power.
• Identity and possession: Ke’er’s body, soul, and memories become the battleground between her true self and Andre’s invading consciousness.
• Sacrifice and strategy: The chapter emphasizes that protecting someone may require appearing cruel or temporarily endangering them.
• Deception and hidden motives: Andre pretends to be fearless, but his eventual escape proves that his threats and confidence were partly a bluff.

Character Interactions

• Andre, speaking through Ke’er, repeatedly taunts and provokes Li Ziran by emphasizing Ke’er’s feelings for him and threatening her life.
• Li Ziran attempts negotiation before turning the situation against Andre through transformation magic and psychological pressure.
• Andre demands Li Ziran’s organs, body, soul, and memories, revealing the extent of his ambition.
• Li Ziran refuses to submit, forces Andre out of Ke’er, captures his soul, and restores her body.
• Ke’er and Li Ziran share a brief moment of mutual trust after her rescue, but the arrival of Anfuni immediately interrupts their relief with news of a larger political and supernatural crisis.

Chapter Summary: “Transforming the Black Dragon”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Andre’s capture triggers an immediate and overwhelming response from the Human Race. The Triangle Council seals the negotiation hall with a Soul Detection Array, preventing souls from escaping, while mechs, Mages, airships, and spatial specialists surround the building.
• The Council begins using Spatial Annihilation, a Forbidden Spell that separates the hall from the continent, compresses it into a singular point, and destroys everything inside.
• Li Ziran learns that seventy-eight Title Magisters and three Spatial Title Magisters have been mobilized. The Human Race also spreads propaganda accusing Elves and Witch Doctors of collusion.
• With escape seemingly impossible and the hall rapidly collapsing, Li Ziran decides to rely on overwhelming physical power rather than spatial technique.
• Inside Ke’er’s Derivative Space, Li Ziran surgically modifies the Black Dragon, transferring his newly acquired Light Organs into its body and creating a second neural network.
• The transformed Black Dragon emerges in the form of a huge, flame-covered Goat. Li Ziran orders Ke’er and Anfuni to enter the creature’s body, then guides them through its internal organs and meridians.
• They reach a crimson-white Faith-based Derivative Space filled with bubbles containing the prayers of humans, Witches, Demons, Orcs, Sea Folk, and Elves seeking the Witch Doctor Inheritance.
• Ke’er realizes that the space is sustained by Faith and is therefore exceptionally durable, though dependent on continued belief. Li Ziran reveals that he placed the organ capable of creating the space inside the Black Dragon—but insists the space still belongs to him, not the Dragon.

Character Development

• Li Ziran shifts from panic and helplessness to decisive action. Although he lacks advanced spatial abilities, he recognizes that raw power may overcome the Human Race’s spatial prison and takes a bold, surgical approach.
• Ke’er, despite being the Elven Queen, is visibly frightened by the impending annihilation. Her understanding of Faith-based spaces deepens when she discovers the scale and nature of Li Ziran’s hidden power.
• Anfuni remains composed throughout the crisis, efficiently relaying intelligence about the Human Race’s attack and helping Li Ziran assess the situation.
• The Black Dragon is transformed into a powerful new vessel through Li Ziran’s modifications, suggesting that it may become capable of breaking through or interacting with the Faith-based space.

Significant Themes

• Power versus technique: Li Ziran cannot match the Human Race’s mastery of spatial magic, so he chooses brute strength and biological transformation as an alternative.
• Desperation and adaptation: Facing certain annihilation, Li Ziran improvises a dangerous solution rather than surrendering.
• Faith as power: The crimson-white space demonstrates that collective belief can create a realm more enduring than spaces sustained by the Elemental Tide.
• Control and ownership: The chapter raises questions about whether power is determined by its physical vessel or by the person who created and controls it.
• Political manipulation: The Human Race combines military force with propaganda, portraying the Elves and Witch Doctors as conspirators to justify the attack.

Character Interactions

• Anfuni gives Li Ziran continuous tactical information about the Soul Detection Array, Spatial Annihilation, and the Council’s forces.
• Ke’er remains physically close to Li Ziran during the crisis, revealing her fear and dependence on him, while he uses her ability to open a Derivative Space.
• Li Ziran directly addresses the Black Dragon before operating on it, treating it as a partner while forcibly transforming its body.
• Ke’er questions Li Ziran’s explanation of the Faith space, noticing that its believers pray to the Witch Doctor rather than the Black Dragon. His final response implies that location and ownership are not the same, leaving the true nature of his plan unresolved.

Li Ziran used the Black Dragon's altered organs and light power to unleash Dragon Flame and heal the collapsing space, foiling the human Mages' attempts to destroy it. As the space reopened, the defenders discovered the Black Dragon was alive and recognized him as the one Li Ziran had operated on.

• The Black Dragon's Dragon Flame melted a breach through the collapsing space, allowing Li Ziran to attack the Triangular Tower and melt Triangle Square.
• Li Ziran sent light power through the Black Dragon, who regenerated his missing organs and used Healing Art to reverse the spatial collapse.
• Human Mages surrounded the space with magic arrays and drained its elements, but Li Ziran supplied light power through faith and the Black Dragon cast Radiant Dragon Flame.
• The healing Dragon Flame restored the space instead of letting it collapse, revealing the Black Dragon blocking the compression inside the negotiation building.
• A green-robed Mage recognized the Black Dragon as the one Li Ziran had operated on and asked how he could still be alive.

Chapter Summary: “Sheep Bleats, Frog Croaks, Stretching Without End”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• The gathered mages discover that the Black Dragon Li Ziran supposedly “killed” is still alive and has become his ally or helper. Its immense power allows it to resist the spatial prison created by the Triangle Council’s mages.
• The dragon’s body contains powerful golden markings and Light Element energy stolen from Andre, allowing it to regenerate and forcibly expand the compressed space.
• Feng, editor-in-chief of the Elemental Forecast, recognizes the danger. If the Black Dragon escapes, it could devastate Triangle City and potentially rampage across the Red Soil Continent.
• Acting through his influence, Feng orders the Human Race’s strongest Magic Towers, military forces, and Triangle Council legions to join the attack.
• Several elite Title Magisters and hundreds of powerful mages bombard the dragon with spatial compression, ice, elemental attacks, spiritual interference, and forbidden-level spells. Sky Fortresses also deploy Magic Cannons against it.
• Although the dragon is repeatedly injured, its body continually regenerates through milky-white energy and the chaotic elemental power surrounding it.
• The space is compressed toward an “origin point” of annihilation, and Feng believes victory is imminent. However, the Black Dragon stops resisting and instead uses the incoming attacks and elements to strengthen itself.
• The overwhelming elemental attacks begin to destabilize the spatial prison. Rather than destroying the dragon, the elements repair its body and make it even more powerful.
• The dragon’s Dragon Flame passes through the weakened Spatial Wall and transforms three of the strongest elder mages into animal forms: one becomes a Frog, one a Goat, and one a hybrid of both.
• The spatial prison collapses into a network of cracks, allowing pure elemental energy to leak out. The Black Dragon finally begins forcing its head and foot through the ruptured space, while endless frog croaks and sheep bleats echo across the plaza.

2. Character Developments

• The Black Dragon is revealed to be far more powerful and intelligent than expected. It can withstand the combined strength of hundreds of elite mages, regenerate from severe wounds, absorb or benefit from elemental attacks, and manipulate the collapsing space through brute force.
• Li Ziran remains largely unseen, but his influence is central. His surgery on the dragon and transfer of Andre’s Light Element have transformed the dragon into a terrifying weapon or ally.
• Feng demonstrates enormous authority and political influence, mobilizing the military, Magic Towers, and Triangle Council. His confidence gradually turns into frustration and alarm as his carefully planned annihilation fails.
• Machi, the Poison Tower’s master, is shocked when he realizes the dragon is the same creature involved in Li Ziran’s earlier incident, revealing his knowledge of the dragon-slaying affair.
• The three elder mages initially represent the Human Race’s greatest elemental and spiritual strength, but their vulnerability during spellcasting leads to their humiliating transformation into animals.

3. Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power versus individual monstrosity: Even the combined military and magical strength of the Human Race struggles to contain a single extraordinary dragon.
• The danger of overconfidence: Feng believes the dragon is nearly defeated, but his insistence on continuing the assault causes the spatial prison to destabilize and feeds the dragon additional elemental energy.
• Weapons becoming stronger through attack: The mages’ attacks, meant to destroy the dragon, instead replenish and repair it, emphasizing the unpredictability of powerful magic.
• The limits of institutions: The Triangle Council, Magic Towers, and military can mobilize immense resources, yet their authority and coordination are still insufficient against Li Ziran’s creation.
• Transformation and loss of control: The animal transformations of the elder mages provide both absurdity and humiliation, showing how quickly revered figures can lose their status and agency.
• Fear beneath spectacle: The chapter contrasts the grand scale of forbidden spells and military force with the growing panic that the dragon will break into Triangle City.

4. Character Interactions

• Machi and the assembled mages: Machi identifies the Black Dragon as the creature connected to Li Ziran, clarifying the mystery surrounding its survival.
• Feng and the Human Race’s elite forces: Feng exercises mental and political control over the various mages, compelling them to use their strongest abilities despite their hesitation.
• The mages and the Black Dragon: The entire Human Race’s assault repeatedly injures and suppresses the dragon, but the dragon turns their attacks into fuel for regeneration and escape.
• Feng and the suspected traitor: The spiritual mage detects a connection between the outside and the interior of the spatial prison, suggesting that someone is secretly aiding or communicating with Li Ziran. Feng interprets this as the work of one of Li Ziran’s believers.
• The Black Dragon and the three elder mages: Its Dragon Flame crosses the Spatial Wall and transforms the elders into a Frog, a Goat, and a hybrid creature, abruptly reversing the balance of power and leaving the surrounding mages stunned.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Black Dragon unleashes emerald Dragon Flame over Triangle Council Square, transforming councilors, aristocrats, and other humans into frogs and sheep. It then advances through Triangle City, destroying buildings and leaving alternating areas of frogs and golden goats in its wake.
• The Human Race’s Mages and councilors attempt to stop the dragon. Under Feng’s orders, Magisters and legions launch a massive assault, but the resulting elemental chaos creates extreme shifts between fire, ice, and other destructive forces. Some dead creatures are even revived as mindless Undead.
• The Black Dragon remains unharmed while the attackers are forced to retreat. It eventually reaches a secluded valley containing a hidden Derivative Space protected by layered magical barriers.
• The dragon destroys the entrance and allows the Elemental Tide to flood the space. The light-based creatures inside rapidly burn, decay, and die upon contact with the outside world.
• The destruction exposes dozens of secret Teleportation Arrays. When the dragon destroys one, women begin emerging from the space. Many are naked, psychologically broken, and behaving identically—laughing, sobbing, or convulsing.
• One of the women is recognized as the missing wife of the Human King, who vanished three years earlier. The discovery suggests that the hidden space was used to imprison and abuse noble women.
• More aristocratic women emerge, their clothing damaged and their appearances preserved, strongly implying that they were repeatedly mistreated by the space’s owner. The chapter ends with the observers questioning who controlled the hidden space.

Character Developments

• The Black Dragon is portrayed as overwhelmingly powerful, contemptuous of the Human Mages, and apparently acting with a specific goal rather than indiscriminately rampaging. Its changing Dragon Flames demonstrate unusual and frightening abilities.
• Feng recognizes that the dragon is heading toward Andre’s Training Canyon, which he believes contains the secrets and evidence of the ruling elite’s crimes. His fear of exposure drives him to mobilize the city’s forces and order them to attack at any cost.
• The Human King’s wife is revealed to have survived her disappearance, but she has been reduced to an apparently insane and traumatized state.
• The noble women are shown as victims of long-term exploitation. Their presence turns the dragon’s attack into the exposure of a much larger political scandal.
• The Mages and councilors shift from confidence to helplessness. Although they possess considerable power, they are unwilling to sacrifice themselves against the uncontrollable Elemental Tide.

Significant Themes

• Exposure of corruption: The chapter reveals that the Human Race’s elite have concealed horrifying abuses behind their public prestige.
• Powerlessness before overwhelming force: The Mages’ magic is impressive but ineffective against the Black Dragon and the chaotic Elemental Tide.
• Collapse of political authority: The Triangle Council, symbol of order and governance, is literally transformed and destroyed.
• Dehumanization and loss of identity: Humans become frogs, sheep, Undead, or damaged victims, emphasizing how easily individuals can be stripped of status and humanity.
• Truth emerging through destruction: The Black Dragon’s attack destroys physical barriers and exposes secrets that the ruling powers worked to hide.
• Uncertainty and conspiracy: The identities of the space’s owner, the dragon’s controller, and the connection to Andre’s Training Canyon remain unresolved.

Character Interactions

• Feng and the Mages/councilors: Feng commands them to attack the dragon, but they retreat when faced with the deadly elemental chaos, revealing the limits of their loyalty.
• The Black Dragon and the Human forces: The dragon ignores their attacks, destroys their defenses, and treats their strongest Magisters as insignificant.
• The Black Dragon and the Light-space guardian: A pale fusion creature challenges the dragon, but it is immediately incinerated by Sulfur Flame.
• The observers and the emerging women: The crowd initially views the women as insane victims, then recognizes the Human King’s wife and realizes that the space contains the abused members of the nobility.
• The Black Dragon and the hidden Derivative Space: By breaching and consuming the space, the dragon forces its secret contents into public view and appears to be deliberately targeting the corruption connected to it.

Chapter Summary: “River of Sacred Potion”

Key Plot Points and Events

• A mysterious Derivative Space outside Triangle City becomes a public spectacle after images of beautiful women are transmitted across Human Race city-states. The event quickly turns into a continent-wide scandal.
• Several mages try to interfere, but the Black Dragon burns them with Dragon Flame, transforming them into frogs and sheep. This demonstrates both its control of the situation and its growing mastery of its abilities.
• The Black Dragon destroys a Teleportation Gate and releases an enormous flood of Sacred Potion. The potion’s energy heals hidden injuries, mutates plants and creatures, and even grants some beings healing or Judgment Spells.
• Li Ziran realizes the space was likely a major Sacred Potion production or storage site connected to the Justice Alliance. However, the potion is wasted as it evaporates into the Elemental Tide, leaving no recoverable residue.
• Concerned that the Sacred Organs may be damaged, Li Ziran continues opening the connected spaces more cautiously.
• Another space is revealed to be a secret cultivation and research facility operated by Feng, where organs are being assembled into the Light Sheep. Feng intends to stop Li Ziran’s destruction of the spaces.
• The Black Dragon uncovers a prison containing rare and nearly extinct magical species, including a Black Kui Ox, Beauty Snakes, Magnetic Pythons, Rainbow Frogs, Vine Treefolk, Xiang Flowerfolk, Bamboo Insects, Iron-Eating Ants, and Wisdom Ancient Treefolk. Li Ziran captures them in his Faith Space.
• A final chamber contains lavish furnishings and photographs linking three respected Human Race figures—Rooney, High Priest Andre, and Feng—to the secret operation. Their apparent public virtue is exposed as a façade.

Character Developments

• Li Ziran: Becomes increasingly cautious and strategic after realizing the Sacred Potion may be connected to powerful interests. He also demonstrates his opportunism by preserving the rare enslaved species rather than allowing them to be lost.
• The Black Dragon: Grows more proficient with Dragon Flame and acts as an unstoppable force, destroying spaces, suppressing interference, and collecting valuable discoveries.
• Feng: Is revealed to be directly involved in the secret base and the construction of the Light Sheep. His calm public identity contrasts sharply with his apparent role in experimentation, slavery, and conspiracy.
• Andre: Though not physically present, his involvement is strongly implied through the photographs and the facilities connected to his cultivation work. His status as a revered high priest is thrown into doubt.
• Rooney: His past crimes involving female slaves are shown to have been part of a broader network rather than an isolated scandal.
• Ke’er and the onlookers: Ke’er becomes jealous of Li Ziran’s valuable discoveries, while the observers shift from curiosity to fear and greed as they witness the wealth and rare creatures inside the spaces.

Significant Themes

• Hypocrisy and corruption: Respected leaders who publicly represent justice, faith, and truth are revealed to be involved in exploitation and secret abuses.
• The abuse of power: The spaces contain enslaved beings, rare species, magical resources, and experimental facilities, showing how powerful institutions exploit the vulnerable.
• Public spectacle and information control: The Human Race’s projection technology spreads scandal instantly, turning private wrongdoing into mass entertainment.
• Waste and greed: The priceless Sacred Potion is squandered, while slave traders covet the rare creatures for enormous profits.
• Appearance versus reality: Luxurious surroundings, sacred religious authority, and respectable public reputations conceal monstrous activities.
• Discovery and escalation: Each broken space reveals a deeper layer of the conspiracy, transforming what began as a scandal into evidence of a vast hidden network.

Character Interactions

• Li Ziran searches the hidden spaces beneath Andre’s domain for the Light Organs Andre had collected.
• He finds a grotesque surgical laboratory filled with emptied bodies, harvested organs, surgical instruments, and an operating table. The equipment appears to have been used by a Corrupted Witch Doctor, contradicting Feng’s public reputation as an opponent of such practices.
• Li Ziran takes the valuable surgical tools and stores the harvested organs as materials.
• In another enormous hidden space, Li Ziran discovers countless humans and other creatures being raised, trained, mutated, and sacrificed to produce high-grade Light Organs.
• He finds and collects four Radiant Viscera, bringing him close to obtaining the complete set of twelve Light Organs needed for the Sheep Transformation Spell.
• A final Light-attribute organ appears, shaped like a radiant goat horn and engraved with the Sheep Transformation Spell. When Li Ziran approaches it, his consciousness is drawn into a strange Faith World.
• The Black Dragon, Anfuni, and Ke’er disappear from his perception, revealing that Li Ziran has been lured out of his body and trapped in an illusion or separate spiritual domain.
• The Faith World is filled with bubbles containing both scholarly questions and furious curses directed at Feng. Li Ziran realizes that this is Feng’s Faith World, created from the faith and resentment generated by his public influence.
• Feng appears in the form of a radiant Light Sheep and confronts Li Ziran. He claims that Li Ziran destroyed Rooney, Andre, and his years of preparation.
• Feng threatens Ke’er and Anfuni, suggesting that he has tampered with the Light Element canyon and may allow them to be assimilated by the Elemental Tide.
• Li Ziran recognizes that Feng is trying to intimidate him but also observes that the resentment within Feng’s Faith World is becoming poisonous and unstable.

Character Developments

• Li Ziran: Demonstrates increasing power, confidence, and resourcefulness. He treats the horrifying laboratory clinically, valuing its tools and organs as useful materials rather than being overwhelmed by their appearance. He also realizes that he can recreate Light Organs through the Devouring Stomach instead of maintaining living creatures for cultivation. After being trapped in Feng’s Faith World, he remains composed and immediately begins analyzing its weaknesses.
• Feng: His respectable public identity collapses as his hidden crimes and experimentation are exposed. He is revealed to possess Light Organs, a powerful Faith World, and the ability to manipulate or threaten others through the Light Element. Despite projecting control, his world is increasingly contaminated by hatred and resentment.
• Ke’er and Anfuni: Their absence from the spiritual domain makes them vulnerable bargaining pieces in Feng’s confrontation with Li Ziran.
• The captive creatures: They are shown to have been raised solely as biological resources, revealing the extreme cruelty and exploitative nature of Andre and Feng’s experiments.

Significant Themes

• Hypocrisy and corruption: Feng’s public image as a respected priest, scholar, and anti–Corrupted Witch Doctor figure contrasts sharply with the horrific private laboratory and exploitation hidden beneath his authority.
• The commodification of life: Bodies, organs, and living creatures are treated as materials for magical advancement, emphasizing the moral cost of power.
• Faith and resentment: Faith can generate immense power, but the hatred and curses directed at Feng are also reshaping his Faith World into something poisonous and unstable.
• Appearance versus reality: The prestigious figures and luxurious spaces conceal violence, exploitation, and moral decay.
• Power through knowledge and adaptation: Li Ziran’s ability to analyze, repurpose, and reproduce the Light Organs gives him an advantage over methods that depend on elaborate cultivation systems.
• The danger of overconfidence: Feng believes his Faith World and control of the Light Element give him the upper hand, but Li Ziran quickly identifies flaws in both Feng’s methods and his spiritual domain.

Character Interactions

• The public reacts with disgust and disbelief as Feng’s alleged crimes and exploitation are revealed.
• Li Ziran examines and loots Andre’s hidden laboratory, treating the discoveries as resources rather than judging them emotionally.
• Feng confronts Li Ziran directly within the Faith World, blaming him for destroying Rooney, Andre, and his plans.
• Feng attempts to control the conversation by threatening Ke’er and Anfuni’s survival.
• Li Ziran refuses to be intimidated, challenges Feng’s position, and points out that Feng’s Faith World is being poisoned by the resentment of the Human Race.

Feng exposed his own crimes to gather faith, then tried to recruit Li Ziran into a partnership. When Li Ziran refused, Feng trapped him beneath a world made from faith, but Li Ziran used his Resurrection Gallbladder to convert and lift it.

• Although Li Ziran is officially Ke’er’s First Prince Consort, the Elves judge him harshly because of his ordinary appearance, unaware of the powerful organs and abilities contained within his body.
• Upon entering the ceremonial plaza, Li Ziran refuses to greet the six elders. He claims exhaustion, waves briefly to the crowd, and immediately returns to the teleportation array.
• The elders are humiliated because custom requires the prince consort to formally meet them, the White Tiger Priest, and other Elven leaders before being accepted into Elven society.

• The six elders and several Fire Elves publicly criticize Li Ziran, accusing him of disrespecting Elven customs and humiliating the queen.
• Li Ziran remains calm because the Elves’ anger generates faith power that strengthens him. He explains that he withdrew not out of simple spite, but because the elders themselves failed to show proper respect to Ke’er.
• He points out that, according to Elven tradition, the queen should receive their formal homage first. Ke’er realizes that Li Ziran may have been defending her authority.

Character Developments

• Li Ziran: Demonstrates his independent, confrontational nature and refusal to submit to arbitrary authority. Though initially irritated by the ceremony, he later reveals that his actions were motivated partly by concern for Ke’er. He also shows his pragmatic mindset by treating the Elves’ outrage as a source of faith power rather than something worth fearing.
• Ke’er: Shows her emotional conflict between loyalty to Li Ziran and responsibility as Elven queen. Initially anxious about his temper and the political consequences of his behavior, she ultimately chooses to stand beside him instead of appeasing the elders.
• The Six Elders: Their arrogance and sense of superiority become clear. They prioritize ceremonial hierarchy and their own dignity over the queen’s authority, exposing a power struggle within Elven society.

Chapter Summary: “Prince Dismissal Agreement”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Li Ziran’s arrival in Elven City causes immediate tension. The Queen and the elders organize a grand welcoming ceremony, but Li remains inside the Teleportation Array’s robot, refusing to attend or move for three hours.
• The elders and most tribal representatives grow furious and abandon the ceremony. Only the Queen’s attendants and a few loyal elders remain.
• While the Elves wait, Li focuses entirely on his research. He studies pregnant women—primarily Winged Race women and later several Elven women—whose embryos have been injected with Ke Element and Light Element.
• His goal is to cultivate embryos capable of naturally forming multiple powerful light-based organs, potentially creating a pure elemental lifeform known as a Light Sheep.
• Li discovers that the womb functions as an exceptionally pure derivative space, even more suitable than the Faith World for absorbing elemental energy and developing organs. However, he needs more suitable women for experimentation and expects his stored materials to run out within days.
• In the Queen’s Palace, the six elders present Ke’er with a jointly signed “Prince Dismissal Agreement.” They demand that Li be stripped of his title because he lacks the required cultivation, etiquette, and political value, while also citing humanity’s mistreatment of the Elves and the inadequacy of the promised Ice Plains territory.
• The elders threaten to report Ke’er to the Primordial Elves if she refuses to dismiss Li. Their influence is considerable because they control roughly eighty percent of the Elven population, while Ke’er directly governs less than one-tenth.
• Ke’er refuses to expel Li, though she does not openly confront the elders. She returns to the robot, which she considers her true home, and sees that Li has begun experimenting on three Elven women.
• Before she can speak with him, Ke’er senses that the Primordial Elves have responded. A powerful Fire-element Primordial Elf arrives and seals herself within a crimson barrier.
• Ke’er identifies the visitor as her aunt, her father’s younger sister, and a pure Elder Flame Elf.

Character Developments

• Li Ziran: Remains detached from Elven politics and social expectations. He is intensely focused on biological and elemental research, demonstrating patience and precision toward his experiments but little concern for ceremony or diplomacy. His long-term ambitions involve creating perfect elemental lifeforms and preparing for the growing conflict among Humans, Elves, and Demons.
• Ke’er: Becomes increasingly caught between her personal commitment to Li and her responsibilities as Queen. Although she recognizes the political danger of keeping him, she refuses to surrender him because she genuinely loves him and believes his value is vital to the Elves’ survival.
• The Six Elders: Shift from disapproval to open political opposition. Their anger over Li’s disrespect and the failed Human-Elven negotiations leads them to formally challenge Ke’er’s authority.
• The Primordial Elves: Their hidden political power becomes clearer. They have previously removed Elven Queens and imprisoned Ke’er’s mother, making their intervention a serious threat to Ke’er’s rule.
• The Elven Tribes: Most reject Li because of his behavior, his Human identity, and lingering resentment toward humanity. Their collective support for the dismissal agreement greatly strengthens the elders’ position.

Significant Themes

• Political authority versus personal loyalty: Ke’er must choose between obeying the elders and protecting the man she loves.
• Cultural conflict and prejudice: Li’s disregard for Elven etiquette reflects the deep divide between Human and Elven values, while the Elves’ hostility is shaped by historical harm caused by Humans.
• Scientific ambition and moral unease: Li’s experiments may lead to extraordinary discoveries, but his clinical treatment of pregnant women and living subjects creates a disturbing contrast with Ke’er’s emotional perspective.
• Hidden power and succession: The Primordial Elves operate behind the political system and possess the authority to overrule or remove Queens.
• The search for perfection: Li’s attempt to create naturally formed elemental organs reflects his desire to surpass imperfect artificial methods and produce an ideal lifeform.
• Isolation amid political crisis: While the Elven world erupts around him, Li remains absorbed in private research, emphasizing how disconnected he is from the consequences of his actions.

• Ke’er observes Li’s experiments and recognizes that his research is both valuable and unsettling.
• Li and Ke’er do not directly resolve the political crisis because Ke’er hesitates to interrupt his work.
• Ke’er finally meets the newly arrived Elder Flame Elf, addressing her as “Aunt,” signaling that the conflict has escalated from a dispute with the elders to direct involvement by the Primordial Elves.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Ke’er reunites with a Primordial Elf elder she calls “Auntie,” expecting sympathy, but the elder condemns her relationship with Li Ziran.
• The elder accuses Li Ziran of being a dangerous human criminal whose experiments destroyed part of the Elven rainforest. Ke’er defends him, praising his Embryo technology and his potential to reform Elven biology and cultivation.
• Ke’er reveals that she and Li Ziran have undergone Soul Weaving and that she promised to have no other Prince Consorts. This clashes with the Oak Association’s plan to arrange a Primordial Elf as her first consort for the sake of Elven inheritance.
• The elder invokes Ke’er’s mother, who had once faced similar political coercion and was forced to submit to Oak Space’s demands. She attempts to take Ke’er to Oak Space, effectively removing her freedom.
• Ke’er refuses, declares that she would rather abandon the queenship, and tries to escape. When the elder traps her inside a shrinking barrier, Ke’er instinctively unleashes a powerful fusion of earth, water, wind, and fire.
• Using a transformed version of Li Ziran’s techniques, Ke’er creates a “Nature World” that overwhelms the elder’s flames and forcibly transforms the Primordial Elf into an ordinary Frog.
• Horrified by what she has done, Ke’er captures the Frog and rushes to Li Ziran for help. Instead of being alarmed, Li Ziran praises the success of her Transformation Spell and suggests using the former Primordial Elf as a host for cultivating Embryos.

Character Developments

• Ke’er: Demonstrates strong loyalty to Li Ziran and increasing independence from Elven tradition. Although she initially pleads rather than fights, her desperation triggers a startling new power. She proves capable of surpassing established Primordial Elf techniques and begins to embody a new path for Elven evolution.
• Li Ziran: Remains calm and pragmatic. His experimental biological methods have already transformed Ke’er’s abilities, and he immediately considers how the captured Primordial Elf can serve his research. His response also highlights his morally questionable, opportunistic nature.
• The Primordial Elf elder: Shifts from a softened, affectionate aunt to an authoritarian representative of Oak Space. She prioritizes racial continuity, political tradition, and the queen’s reproductive duty over Ke’er’s wishes. After attacking Ke’er, she is reduced to an ordinary Frog, exposing the vulnerability of the old Elven power structure.
• Ke’er’s mother: Though absent, her history parallels Ke’er’s situation and reveals that Elven queens have long been pressured to sacrifice personal relationships for racial inheritance.

Significant Themes

• Tradition versus reform: Ke’er and Li Ziran represent biological and social innovation, while Oak Space defends ancient cultivation systems and rigid inheritance customs.
• Personal freedom versus duty: Ke’er’s choice of a single partner conflicts with the expectation that the queen must produce descendants for the race through politically approved consorts.
• Love and loyalty: Ke’er refuses to abandon Li Ziran even when doing so would preserve her position and avoid conflict with Oak Space.
• Transformation and evolution: The chapter literalizes the idea of revolutionary change as Ke’er’s body and abilities evolve beyond traditional Elven methods, while the elder is physically reduced to a lower form.
• Power and control: The elder attempts to control Ke’er through political authority and confinement, but Ke’er’s new abilities overturn the established hierarchy.
• Ethical ambiguity: Li Ziran’s discoveries may benefit the Elves, but his willingness to use Ke’er’s aunt as an experimental host suggests that his scientific ambitions may disregard consent and morality.

Character Interactions

• Ke’er repeatedly tries to persuade her aunt that Li Ziran can revive and strengthen the Elves, but the elder interprets her faith as brainwashing.
• Their disagreement escalates into a confrontation when the elder strikes Ke’er and attempts to force her into Oak Space.
• Ke’er’s defensive transformation defeats the elder without deliberate intent, changing their relationship from familial disagreement to a serious political crisis.
• Ke’er turns to Li Ziran for reassurance, while he responds with scientific enthusiasm rather than emotional concern, ending the chapter on a darkly comic and ominous note.

• He explains that the Elves’ traditional system of possessing many different elemental organs has become a weakness. Their mixed organs prevent elemental fusion and make it difficult for most Elves to advance beyond the High Mage realm.
• Li Ziran proposes two possible solutions for the Elves:
  • Follow the human method by installing an Elemental Gland and removing unnecessary organs.
  • Develop a “Nature World,” in which the Elves’ various elemental organs could work together harmoniously.
• While examining an Elf, Li Ziran discovers an unusual oil-green, tailbone-like organ. Ke’er notices that many Elves in the operating room appear peaceful and majestic, as though they are dreaming.
• Li Ziran operates on Ke’er and activates the organ in her tailbone. Her consciousness enters an oil-green mental space filled with the thoughts, prayers, laughter, and blessings of Elves and forest creatures.
• Ke’er realizes that the organ creates a new kind of space based on the thoughts of living beings rather than elemental power. She understands that it could be as significant to the Elves as the Elemental Gland is to humans.
• Li Ziran explains that he found the organ in certain Elves and modified its internal patterns to awaken its abilities. He also reveals that Anfuni helped him obtain information and recruit assistance.
• Ke’er ultimately gives Li Ziran permission to use the Primordial Elf. He places her blood on the Frog’s brow, causing the transformed creature to regain the form of a red-haired Elf woman.

2. Character Developments

• Li Ziran is shown as both visionary and morally detached. He sees the Primordial Elf as a biological resource for advancing Elven evolution, but he also sincerely wants to solve the Elves’ long-term decline. His research reveals impressive creativity, though his methods disturb Ke’er.
• Ke’er begins defensive and protective, refusing to let Li Ziran use her aunt. After experiencing the oil-green mental world and understanding its potential, she changes her mind and agrees to the experiment. Her decision also reveals her willingness to sacrifice personal feelings for the future of the Elves.
• Ke’er’s change troubles Li Ziran. He had expected her to resist out of affection and was disappointed when she adopted a more pragmatic, profit-oriented attitude.
• Anfuni is revealed to have assisted Li Ziran behind the scenes, suggesting that she is trusted with valuable information and is willing to cooperate with him for the benefit of her organization.
• The Primordial Elf is restored to a humanoid female form at the end of the chapter, though the consequences of the embryo experiment remain unresolved.

3. Significant Themes

• Progress versus tradition: The Elves’ ancient method of cultivating multiple natural elements is no longer effective in the changed world, forcing them to consider radical reforms.
• Biological evolution and experimentation: Li Ziran treats organs, bodies, and reproduction as tools for engineering a stronger future, raising questions about ethics and consent.
• Collective consciousness and faith: The tailbone organ creates a world formed from the thoughts, prayers, and emotions of living beings, suggesting that belief and shared consciousness can become a tangible power.
• Personal loyalty versus collective survival: Ke’er must choose between protecting a family member and supporting a discovery that could transform the entire Elven race.
• The corruption of relationships by ambition: Li Ziran feels that Ke’er’s willingness to sacrifice her aunt has made their relationship less pure, reflecting his discomfort with the influence of political and material interests.

4. Character Interactions

• Li Ziran and Ke’er clash over his plan for her aunt. Ke’er initially rejects the idea, while Li Ziran calmly presents it as necessary research.
• During the operation, Ke’er becomes both frightened and fascinated by the tailbone organ’s effects. Her experience changes her understanding of Li Ziran’s work.
• Ke’er questions Li Ziran about the organ’s origin and learns that he has been conducting covert research with help from others, including Anfuni.
• After reconsidering her position, Ke’er hands the Primordial Elf to Li Ziran and accepts his plan. Li Ziran responds affectionately but is privately saddened by her sudden pragmatism.
• The chapter ends with Li Ziran activating the Primordial Elf’s restoration, transforming the Frog into a fiery red-haired Elf woman.
