• Luo Xiang acts as an intermediary between Okra and Nameless, reassuring her and encouraging her to explain her situation.
• Nameless questions Okra closely about the insects’ appearance, abilities, and reproductive behavior, gradually establishing her credibility.
• Okra’s testimony and evidence convince Nameless that her crisis is genuine, though he has not yet decided to take action.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Old Nameless struggles with whether to help Qiukui and Luo Xiang save their world. Although he cannot bear to watch others suffer, he recognizes that All Heavens and Myriad Realms contains countless dangerous enemies and that acting recklessly could endanger himself, his family, and the Bubble Worlds under his protection.
• Remembering the danger posed by Beast World and the lesson from the Gong Xiang incident, Nameless decides to act cautiously. He agrees to consider helping but refuses to promise that he will definitely intervene.
• Nameless sets his condition: Qiukui must give him the Sub-Crystal, after which he will secretly decide whether to help and leave them with only uncertain hope. Qiukui accepts, with Luo Xiang agreeing on her behalf.
• Nameless’s decision is influenced partly by Luo Xiang’s past support for him on the Oracle Network, including the beating Luo Xiang endured while defending Nameless.
• After receiving the Sub-Crystal, Nameless throws Qiukui and Luo Xiang out when they attempt to kowtow, dismissing such displays of gratitude as unnecessary.
• A catgirl secretly monitoring Nameless for Fang Xingyue notices the exchange and considers reporting it. However, Lin Renmei discovers her disguised as a kitten and briefly picks her up before returning her to the shadows.
• Nameless already knows the catgirl’s identity but allows her surveillance because he has nothing to hide and senses that she is fundamentally kind.
• Cheng Xuejie and Lin Renmei return with new clothes for Nameless. Lin criticizes his habit of always wearing the same Rescue Team-style outfit and encourages him to change his appearance, though Nameless sees no need to alter his familiar clothing.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Becomes more cautious and responsible. His compassion remains strong, but he now balances it against the safety of his family and the many worlds under his care. He also shows loyalty by considering Luo Xiang’s past support when deciding whether to help.
• Qiukui: Desperate to save her world, she offers Nameless anything in exchange for his help and accepts his uncertain conditions despite not fully understanding them.

• Lin Renmei and Cheng Xuejie tease and advise Nameless about his clothing, while he remains attached to his practical Rescue Team uniform.

Chapter Summary: “Bugs”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Lin Renmei and Cheng Xuejie force Nameless to model the clothes they purchased. His appearance changes dramatically with each outfit, especially when he alters his hairstyle to match them.
• Frustrated by their endless demands, Nameless escapes by using a Sub-Crystal, claiming he has another world to save.
• He arrives on Bewilderment Planet, where a ruined city is overrun by strange creatures known as “bugs.” The bugs hunt the planet’s remaining human survivors.
• Nameless uses an advanced form of his Bioforce Field Body to conceal his presence and appear like an ordinary human.
• After examining the creatures, he discovers that the bugs are not true animals or monsters. They are unusual plant-based organisms resembling enormous slime mold or “Green Silk Aggregate” complexes. This explains why conventional weapons such as bullets are ineffective against them.
• In the Divine Treasure Space, Catwoman reports Nameless’s departure to Fang Xingyue and the bearded man. Fang correctly assumes that Nameless has gone to save the world.
• Fang prepares to follow Nameless, intending to wait until Nameless and the sacrificial god are weakened before attacking the god. He also plans to record the event and portray himself as Nameless’s savior, exploiting Nameless’s concern for his reputation.
• The chapter ends as a survivor is cornered by a Cat Bug. Just before it kills him, Nameless intervenes, pinning the creature down and stabbing it through the head.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Shows patience and reluctant cooperation while modeling clothes, but his exhaustion leads him to flee rather than continue. His instinct to help endangered people remains strong, confirming his self-sacrificing nature. He also demonstrates greater mastery of his Bioforce Field, using it for stealth and scientific investigation rather than only combat.
• Lin Renmei and Cheng Xuejie: Reveal a playful, enthusiastic side as they experiment with Nameless’s clothing and hairstyles. They enjoy controlling his appearance, though their persistence ultimately drives him away.
• Zhang Shouzhong: Provides comic relief by laughing at Nameless’s first outfit and correctly identifying the problem as his short hair.
• Fang Xingyue: Becomes more calculating and opportunistic. He plans to exploit Nameless’s heroism for personal fame and intends to attack only after others have weakened the sacrificial god.
• Catwoman: Continues tracking Nameless and reports his movements to Fang Xingyue, suggesting she remains closely involved in his pursuit.
• The survivors: Represent the desperate remnants of Bewilderment Planet’s civilization, forced to flee and hide from the bugs.

Significant Themes

• Appearance and identity: The clothing and hairstyles dramatically alter Nameless’s temperament and perceived personality, emphasizing how much appearance shapes social impressions.
• Heroism and self-sacrifice: Nameless instinctively responds to suffering, even though helping others places him in danger. His behavior contrasts with Fang Xingyue’s self-serving view of heroism.
• Exploitation of reputation: Fang Xingyue intends to manipulate Nameless’s public image and claim credit for saving him, showing how fame and public perception can be used as weapons.
• Science beneath appearances: The bugs appear to be terrifying animal-like monsters, but Nameless discovers their true plant-based nature. The chapter highlights the importance of observation and deeper understanding.
• Survival in a ruined world: The devastated city and hunted survivors reinforce the bleakness of Bewilderment Planet and the scale of the crisis Nameless has entered.

Character Interactions

• Catwoman reports Nameless’s actions to Fang Xingyue, who discusses his motives with the bearded man.
• Nameless’s first direct interaction on Bewilderment Planet is with a terrified survivor, whom he saves by killing the attacking Cat Bug.

Chapter Summary

Plot Points and Events

• Nameless saves a terrified man by attacking a Cat Bug and ordering him to flee.
• He investigates the insect’s regenerative abilities by piercing its head and extracting a strand of Green Silk.
• The Green Silk demonstrates extraordinary vitality: when damaged, it can enter a suspended-death state, becoming a dried corpse before reviving when reconnected with the larger colony.
• Nameless discovers that Cat Bug is not a single organism but a collective of countless independent Green Silk entities. Together, they form a body, communicate, and appear to possess a social structure and technological intelligence.
• He tests their resistance to fire, lightning, and poison:
  • Fire causes the Green Silk to dry out and become heat-resistant.
  • Electricity is resisted because the dried strands become highly insulating.
  • Only an extraordinary poison successfully kills them.
• When the Cat Bug is defeated, its Green Silk strands scatter across the ground and feign death. Nameless collects them in a reinforced glass bottle rather than allowing them to escape.
• He sends the captured Green Silk to Chen Weihua in Bubble World One for research.
• Chen discovers that the Green Silk can potentially combine with a previously acquired virus and be developed into a controllable biological colony.
• Possible applications include bio-armor, defensive barriers, and low-temperature storage systems using the insects’ suspended-death ability.
• At Nameless’s request, Chen asks him to capture more specimens.
• Nameless soon encounters another insect-like creature carrying a dead cat. He kills it quickly with his sword and poison, then collects its remains for further study.

Character Developments

• Nameless is shown as observant, experimental, and highly pragmatic. Rather than simply killing the insects, he studies their biology and tests their vulnerabilities systematically.
• His curiosity grows as he realizes the insects represent an entirely new form of intelligent life.
• He also demonstrates a utilitarian mindset, immediately considering how their abilities might be adapted into weapons, clothing, armor, and technology.
• Chen Weihua is portrayed as an enthusiastic and inventive researcher. She quickly recognizes the Green Silk’s scientific value and begins imagining practical applications for it.

Significant Themes

• Collective life and individuality: The insects are composed of countless independent strands that function together as one organism, raising questions about whether they are a unified society or merely a “pile of loose sand.”
• Adaptation and survival: The Green Silk survives extreme damage by dispersing, drying out, and entering suspended death rather than directly resisting every threat.
• Science and exploitation: Nameless’s fascination is paired with experimentation and capture, while Chen immediately explores how the creatures can be converted into useful technology.
• The unknown nature of life: The insects possess communication, social organization, research capabilities, and advanced biological “technology” unlike humanity’s, challenging human assumptions about intelligence and organisms.

Character Interactions

• Nameless commands the frightened man to escape and protects him from Cat Bug.
• He communicates with Chen Weihua about the captured Green Silk and its potential uses.
• Chen’s excitement encourages Nameless to capture additional specimens.
• Nameless then acts on her request, killing and collecting another insect for research.

Chapter Summary: “Good News”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless spends several days roaming the city, killing and capturing various bugs for study. He observes that humans and animals have been devastated by the invasion, while most tiny insects remain unaffected.
• Chen Weihua contacts Nameless with two scientific breakthroughs:
  • Research into Bio-Armor is progressing.
  • Bugs exposed first to extreme cold and then extreme heat undergo a woody transformation. When ground into powder, they can be used to create a powerful enhancement potion.
• Chen Weihua demonstrates the potion by drinking it. She temporarily gains traits of a human, a Flame Serpent, and a bug, including enhanced defense, fire control, healing, and other abilities.
• The potion lasts about fifteen minutes and has been verified through world authority to have no hidden dangers. Chen encourages Nameless to carry one, though he doubts ordinary potions would work effectively on his unique body.
• Nameless continues supplying bugs to Chen Weihua’s research team. They discover that the creatures are not carbon-based but consist of a newly identified substance called the Silicon Element.
• The bugs possess extraordinary regenerative abilities. They can survive being cut apart and may become multiple creatures; they can only be reliably killed by being ground completely into powder.
• Nameless studies the bugs independently through the perspective of the Bioforce Field. He discovers that they are highly social and emotional despite their alien values and thought processes.
• He repeatedly kills Green Silk bugs, feeds their remains to others, and triggers a chain of mutations. Eventually, a single Green Silk evolves into a snake-sized creature thousands of times tougher, highly resistant to fire and cold, and intelligent enough to beg for mercy.
• Nameless kills and processes the mutated creature into a concentrated green potion. He believes it may be hundreds of times stronger than Chen Weihua’s version but decides to test it on someone else first.
• The chapter ends with Nameless focusing on a group of Survivors, one of whom has attracted his particular interest.

Character Developments

• Nameless remains analytical, detached, and relentlessly experimental. Although he recognizes that the bugs possess emotions, he feels no sympathy and treats them as research subjects.
• His unique nature is clarified: his body is composed of Bioforce Field energy and remains directly connected to the Nameless Sea, meaning it is not an independent alternate identity. This explains why ordinary potions are unlikely to affect him.
• Chen Weihua is shown as both a researcher and a field tester. She confidently demonstrates the enhancement potion and continues investigating the bugs’ biology.
• Nameless’s experimentation reveals his willingness to create and destroy increasingly powerful lifeforms purely to observe their development.

Significant Themes

• Scientific discovery amid catastrophe: Humanity responds to the bug invasion through experimentation and technological innovation.
• The limits and ethics of experimentation: Nameless performs cruel, repeated tests on living creatures, raising questions about whether knowledge justifies suffering.
• Alien life and shared emotions: Though the bugs’ values differ sharply from humanity’s, their courtship, parental hopes, grief, and self-preservation show that emotional behavior is not uniquely human.
• Adaptation and mutation: The bugs’ extreme regenerative abilities and Nameless’s forced evolutionary experiments demonstrate how life can rapidly change under pressure.
• Power and dependence: The temporary enhancement potion offers ordinary people a chance to survive, while Nameless’s unusual body places him beyond the benefits—and perhaps the limitations—of such external aids.

Character Interactions

• Chen Weihua and Nameless maintain a cooperative relationship based on research and mutual trust. She shares discoveries and urges him to use the potion, while he supplies her team with bugs.
• Nameless observes and manipulates the emotional bonds between Green Silk bugs, deliberately using one bug’s grief and the consumption of its dead companion to trigger mutation.
• The mutated Green Silk recognizes Nameless’s overwhelming power and begs for mercy, but Nameless kills it after completing his examination.
• The chapter closes by setting up Nameless’s next interaction with the Survivors, particularly the individual who has caught his attention.

Chapter Summary: “Civil Strife”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Terminal Camp, a fortified bus terminal sheltering twenty-five Survivors, is increasingly threatened by food shortages, despair, and the spread of insect creatures throughout the city.
• Mei Houdiao, the camp’s respected leader and former bus driver, has maintained a system of fairness. Although able-bodied Survivors receive more food, the elderly and women still contribute through guard duty, cleaning, and other work.
• Leng Song, a former security guard, begins plotting against Mei. He and three younger men believe there are too many mouths to feed and want to replace Mei’s rules with a harsher system that would allow them to exploit the camp’s women.
• Leng Song’s accomplices attack Mei with a dagger and iron pipe. Mei fights defensively but is eventually stabbed multiple times and beaten unconscious.
• A woman witnesses the assault and alerts the camp, while Mei’s trusted supporters return from a supply mission. However, they inadvertently lead insect creatures back to the terminal.
• The insects attack the returning Survivors and invade Terminal Camp. Everyone is forced to flee, leaving the camp’s internal conflict unresolved amid the larger external danger.
• Mei remains barely alive as the insects approach. At the last moment, Nameless appears, kills an insect with a poisoned throwing knife, and gives Mei a mysterious potion. Mei’s body immediately begins to change, suggesting a possible transformation or rescue.

Character Developments

• Mei Houdiao: Revealed as a principled and burdened leader who prioritizes order and fairness despite the worsening crisis. Even while wounded, he tries to defend the vulnerable members of the camp. His near-death experience and Nameless’s potion mark a major turning point.
• Leng Song: Develops from a dissatisfied Survivor into a violent conspirator. He uses food scarcity as justification for overthrowing Mei but is primarily motivated by power and the desire to sexually dominate the camp’s women.
• The young attackers: Represent the breakdown of morality under pressure. Their impatience and brutality contrast sharply with Mei’s attempts to preserve rules and human dignity.
• The witnessing woman: Shows courage by refusing Leng Song’s command and warning the others, despite the danger.
• Nameless: Appears unexpectedly as a powerful and mysterious figure. His calm manner, skill with poisoned weapons, and experimental potion suggest that he may possess unusual knowledge or abilities.

Significant Themes

• Civil strife amid external catastrophe: The camp’s internal power struggle becomes nearly as dangerous as the insects outside.
• The collapse of social order: Scarcity and hopelessness encourage some Survivors to abandon morality, fairness, and mutual responsibility.
• Leadership and responsibility: Mei’s leadership is based on protecting the entire community, while Leng Song advocates rule by strength and selfish desire.
• Exploitation of the vulnerable: The elderly and women are treated as expendable by Leng Song, exposing how crisis can intensify misogyny and abuse.
• Hope and transformation: Mei’s apparent death is interrupted by Nameless’s intervention, suggesting that unexpected change or renewal may emerge from total despair.

Character Interactions

• Mei and Leng Song clash over food distribution, communal rules, and the treatment of weaker Survivors.
• Leng Song’s followers physically attack Mei while Leng Song directs and justifies the assault.
• A woman challenges Leng Song’s control by fleeing and reporting the attack.
• Mei’s supporters return during the uprising, but their arrival coincides with the insects’ invasion.
• Nameless rescues Mei from imminent death and administers the potion that begins his transformation.

Chapter Summary: “Teach a Man to Fish”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Mei Houdiao is critically injured after being stabbed and struck in the head with a steel pipe. His wounds include a concussion and cerebral hemorrhage, which would normally be fatal.
• Nameless gives him a potion that stops his internal bleeding and rapidly heals his injuries. However, the potion also transforms Mei Houdiao into a powerful, white-furred monster resembling a Bigfoot or snowman.
• Nameless hides on a nearby rooftop and observes the survivors and insects at the main station. He believes most of the survivors are selfish people who only relied on Mei Houdiao’s integrity for protection and abandoned him when danger appeared.
• Because the potion gives Mei Houdiao a powerful insect-like aura, the surrounding insects initially mistake him for one of their own and hesitate to attack.
• Mei Houdiao attacks first, beginning with a weasel-like insect that mistakenly offers him a human head as food. He then fights a half-human, half-dog insect.
• Mei Houdiao discovers that his transformation has given him extraordinary strength, durability, and resistance to toxins. He kills or incapacitates the insects with ease.
• After several minutes, he defeats all the insects surrounding him. Watching him, Nameless realizes that mass-producing or simplifying the potion could allow ordinary humans to gain supernatural abilities and fight the insect threat themselves.

Character Developments

• Mei Houdiao: His transformation is initially frightening and confusing, but he quickly recognizes that his new power may allow him to protect others. Although he lacks combat experience and awareness, his courage and determination drive him to fight the insects rather than exploit his disguise to escape.
• Nameless: He has become more selective and detached in deciding whom to save. Unlike in the past, he no longer risks exposing himself for people he considers selfish or unworthy. He also begins thinking beyond individual rescues, imagining a way to empower humanity on a large scale.
• The survivors: Their selfishness and lack of loyalty are emphasized. They benefited from Mei Houdiao’s protection but abandoned him when the insects attacked, reinforcing Nameless’s negative judgment of them.

Significant Themes

• “Give a man a fish…”: The chapter’s central idea is that empowering people to defend themselves is better than repeatedly rescuing them. Nameless considers turning humans into supernatural fighters rather than remaining their sole protector.
• Transformation and sacrifice: Mei Houdiao’s monstrous appearance represents a painful loss of normal humanity, but it also grants him the strength to fulfill his protective ideals.
• Moral judgment and changing values: Nameless’s evolving attitude toward life and death makes him less universally compassionate. He now distinguishes between people worth saving and those who have proven selfish.
• Power and responsibility: Strength is presented not merely as a weapon but as a means of protection. Mei Houdiao embraces his new abilities because they may help him defend others.
• Humanity versus monsters: Although Mei Houdiao looks like a monster, he behaves more heroically than many of the ordinary humans around him, contrasting physical appearance with moral character.

Character Interactions

• Nameless and Mei Houdiao: Nameless saves Mei Houdiao but gives him little guidance, calling the transformation a “monster” form and observing how he reacts. Their interaction reflects Nameless’s experimental, detached approach and Mei Houdiao’s earnest morality.
• Mei Houdiao and the insects: The insects initially mistake him for an ally because of his aura. When he attacks them, the misunderstanding turns into a battle. Mei Houdiao’s lack of combat awareness contrasts with his immense physical power.
• Mei Houdiao and the weasel-like insect: The insect attempts to appease him by offering a human head, but Mei Houdiao misinterprets the gesture and attacks it.
• Mei Houdiao and the half-human, half-dog insect: This fight demonstrates his newfound durability and strength. The insect’s bite cannot penetrate his skin, while Mei Houdiao’s punches crush its skull.
• Nameless and the survivors: Though Nameless does not directly confront them, his observations establish his growing distrust and emotional distance from the survivor group.

Chapter Summary: “Savior’s Proxy”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless develops a new plan for helping humanity: he asks Chen Weihua and the Rescue Team’s researchers to find a way for ordinary people to create Beastification Potions. His goal is to make extraordinary power widely accessible and encourage the rebuilding of civilization.
• He continues observing Mei Houdiao, his first Beastification Potion test subject, after Mei kills an insect and gains immense strength.
• Mei decides to return home to search for his wife and son, but first follows the Survivors’ trail to determine what happened to the group and confront Leng Song.
• Along the route, Mei discovers several dead Survivors. Some were killed directly by insects, while one appears to have been deliberately used as a shield by other Survivors during their escape.
• Nameless reveals that Mei was transformed through an experimental potion made from insects. He does not know whether the transformation is temporary, permanent, or allows Mei to shift between human and beast forms.
• Nameless gives Mei the remaining potion and tells him to preserve it in case he needs to regain beast form. He also says he is observing whether Mei can “shoulder responsibility,” though he disappears before explaining what that means.
• Mei eventually finds Leng Song’s corpse. Although he had wanted revenge, seeing that Leng Song died painfully causes his anger to fade.
• He then travels to his ruined home to look for evidence of his wife and son. Finding no bloodstains, he takes this as a possible sign that they escaped and may still be alive.
• While holding a family photograph, Mei suddenly suffers a violent physical reaction. His fur recedes, his body shrinks, and he collapses, suggesting that the Beastification Potion’s effects may be ending or changing.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Becomes more strategic and less directly interventionist. Inspired by recent events, he realizes he can save the world through empowered agents rather than acting personally every time. This allows him to remain hidden while influencing events from behind the scenes. He also continues his scientific investigation of the insects and the Beastification Potion.
• Mei Houdiao: Moves from fear and confusion toward gratitude, responsibility, and determination. Although he initially resents being transformed without consent, he recognizes that Nameless saved his life. His desire for revenge against Leng Song weakens after witnessing Leng Song’s death, showing a return of compassion and emotional balance.
• The Survivors: Their desperation is emphasized through their willingness to sacrifice one another during the escape. This reveals how the disaster has damaged their morality and social bonds.
• Leng Song: Though absent for most of the chapter, his death closes Mei’s revenge arc before it can be fulfilled, demonstrating the harsh and unpredictable consequences of the disaster.

Significant Themes

• Power and responsibility: Nameless is testing whether power can be entrusted to ordinary people and whether they will use it responsibly.
• The ethics of experimentation: Mei’s transformation saves his life, but he was used as an unknowing test subject. The chapter explores the tension between gratitude and resentment when salvation comes through coercion.
• Hope amid catastrophe: Mei continues searching for his family despite believing they may be dead. The absence of blood provides a fragile reason to hope.
• Humanity under pressure: The Survivors’ behavior illustrates how fear can make people abandon cooperation and use others as expendable shields.
• Revenge versus compassion: Mei’s anger toward Leng Song fades once he sees that Leng Song has already suffered and died, suggesting that Mei’s humanity remains intact.
• Hidden intervention and proxy salvation: Nameless’s new strategy is to empower others to restore the world while remaining concealed himself, introducing the idea of a “savior’s proxy.”

Character Interactions

• Nameless and Chen Weihua: Nameless asks Chen to help make Beastification Potions accessible to ordinary people.
• Nameless and Mei Houdiao: Nameless explains Mei’s transformation, admits his uncertainty about its permanence, gives Mei another potion, and evaluates him as a possible agent. Their relationship combines benefactor, experimenter, and test subject.
• Mei and the dead Survivors: Mei investigates their deaths and becomes disturbed by evidence that some Survivors sacrificed others to escape.
• Mei and Leng Song: Their anticipated confrontation never occurs because Mei finds Leng Song already dead. This unexpectedly dissolves Mei’s thirst for revenge.
• Mei and his family: Though his wife and son do not appear, Mei’s search for them motivates his journey and reveals his enduring loyalty and hope.
  The chapter ends on a cliffhanger as Mei collapses while apparently reverting from beast form, leaving the future of his transformation—and possibly his survival—uncertain.

Chapter Summary: “The Pursuers”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Mei Houdiao suffers catastrophic organ failure after his beastification ends. His ordinary body could not withstand the immense power and stamina demands of the Beastification Potion.
• Nameless diagnoses the problem and heals Mei Houdiao by restoring his vitality and repairing his organs. Mei Houdiao fully recovers and is left physically healthier than he was before.
• Nameless realizes the potion is dangerously powerful: ordinary humans may die after using it. He concludes that the potion must be refined if it is to help humanity fight the insects rather than turn users into expendable sacrifices.
• Nameless returns to the Gravel Shell’s internal space to continue researching a safer and more sustainable superhuman system.
• Meanwhile, Fang Xingyue and six companions arrive near the planet while pursuing Nameless. They detect the green meteorite responsible for spreading the insect threat and confirm that Nameless has recently been on the planet.
• Su Mi uses her sensory abilities to trace Nameless’s movements to Mei Houdiao’s bedroom, though she cannot determine Nameless’s current location. The team decides to remain outside the planet and monitor events instead of immediately entering.
• Su Mi identifies the insects as resembling Polar Insects from her home world. In her world, processing the insects into powder enhanced Mental Strength and eventually enabled the rise of powerful spellcasting and psychic systems.
• She suggests that Nameless may be attempting to help this planet’s humans develop their own superhuman system. Fang Xingyue reacts with concern, implying that this possibility may conflict with the pursuers’ goals.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Demonstrates both advanced healing abilities and a protective attitude toward humanity. His goal is shown to be more ambitious than merely defeating the insects: he wants to create a reliable human power system that does not depend on fatal overexertion. He also continues to research ways to improve the Beastification Potion.
• Mei Houdiao: Nearly dies from the potion’s aftereffects, revealing the severe limitations of his current body. After Nameless heals him, he becomes stronger and healthier physically, though he remains unconscious.
• Fang Xingyue: Acts as the team’s strategist and leader. He is cautious about Nameless’s motives and becomes visibly troubled by the possibility that Nameless is genuinely helping the planet.
• Su Mi: Reveals herself as the team’s strongest sensor and an expert in psychic, mental, and soul-related abilities. She provides important historical knowledge about Polar Insects and recognizes the larger significance of Nameless’s work.
• Catwoman: Serves as the team’s scout and intelligence gatherer. Her straightforward questions provide a contrast to Su Mi’s more reflective observations.
• Hu Wei: Represents the team’s dismissive attitude toward the seemingly insignificant planet, viewing it as little more than a doomed world.

Significant Themes

• Power versus physical limitations: Mei Houdiao’s collapse shows that immense power is useless—or even deadly—if the body cannot support it.
• Responsible advancement: Nameless seeks to transform the insect threat into a source of human development rather than allowing humans to become disposable tools.
• Humanity’s potential: The Polar Insects’ connection to Su Mi’s world suggests that even a small, endangered planet could develop a powerful civilization if given the right opportunity.
• Observation and intervention: The pursuers debate whether Nameless is hiding for malicious reasons or working to save the world, raising questions about when outside forces should interfere.
• The vastness of the universe: The cultivators regard the planet as insignificant compared with the countless worlds and realms, contrasting their cosmic perspective with Nameless’s focus on the lives within one small world.
• Trauma and historical warning: Su Mi’s memories of the Alternate-Identity Style and the danger it posed reveal the risks that can accompany advanced supernatural systems.

Character Interactions

• Nameless silently treats Mei Houdiao and reflects on the danger of making humans too powerful too quickly.
• Fang Xingyue questions whether Nameless’s disappearance is a feint, while Su Mi clarifies that he is still hiding on the planet.
• Su Mi identifies Mei Houdiao as someone closely connected to Nameless, giving the pursuers a possible point of surveillance.
• Catwoman asks practical questions about Nameless’s location and motives, while Su Mi answers with broader insight into the planet’s potential.
• Su Mi’s explanation that Nameless may be building a superhuman system changes the team’s understanding of his mission and causes Fang Xingyue to become wary.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• Fang Xingyue reflects on his belief that everyone acts out of self-interest. He assumes Nameless is secretly pursuing the reward for defeating Sacrificial God and that his apparent altruism is merely a distraction.
• Although Fang briefly considers destroying the planet to force Nameless into action, he rejects the idea because it would expose him without providing any benefit. He and Su Mi therefore continue observing from a distance.
• Su Mi leaves Fang Xingyue and secretly visits the moon, where Song Xue is monitoring events on the planet through numerous screens.
• Song Xue, known as the Divine Treasure Space’s “strongest reporter,” has been investigating Nameless in hopes of exposing him as a hypocrite. Her soul-related abilities allow her to track Nameless despite his transformations and concealment techniques.
• Su Mi and Song Xue review footage showing Nameless attempting to establish a supernatural cultivation system on the planet and rescuing Mei Houdiao after Leng Song and others nearly killed him.
• Nameless is aware that Song Xue and several others are watching him. He instructs Xiaoxi to record the observers but not to interfere, since he believes he has nothing shameful to hide.
• The chapter ends with Nameless considering the possibility of holding a press conference after saving the planet, suggesting he is unconcerned about public scrutiny.

Character Developments

• Fang Xingyue: His deeply cynical worldview is emphasized. He interprets all actions through the lens of profit and assumes Nameless must have hidden motives, but he is also cautious enough to suppress his impulse to attack the planet.
• Su Mi: She remains playful and curious, but appears more open-minded toward Nameless than Fang Xingyue or Song Xue. She finds Nameless unusual and interesting rather than automatically assuming he is evil.
• Song Xue: Introduced as an ambitious, fearless investigative reporter and paparazzo. Although she claims to seek truth and protect people from deception, her obsession with exposing Nameless is partly driven by fame and the benefits it brings. Her righteous attitude contrasts with her intrusive methods.
• Nameless: His actions continue to suggest genuine concern for the planet and its people. He is developing a supernatural system, saving endangered individuals, and calmly tolerating surveillance. His confidence comes from believing that his conduct will withstand investigation.
• Mei Houdiao: His importance increases as he is identified as the possible “savior” or chosen individual Nameless has rescued and may be preparing to support.

Significant Themes

• Cynicism versus genuine altruism: Fang Xingyue assumes all apparent kindness hides a selfish motive, while Nameless’s behavior challenges that assumption.
• Truth, reputation, and surveillance: Song Xue seeks to expose Nameless, but the chapter questions whether investigative reporting is motivated by justice, fame, or personal obsession.
• Appearance versus reality: Nameless’s changing appearance and altered soul fluctuations make him difficult to track, while Song Xue’s specialized ability attempts to uncover his true identity.
• Power and self-interest: The cultivators’ pursuit of strength and rewards forms the backdrop for the debate over whether anyone can act selflessly.
• Observation and judgment: Multiple factions monitor Nameless, but he remains largely unconcerned, creating tension over whether their suspicions will eventually be proven right.

Character Interactions

• Fang Xingyue and Su Mi: Fang is cautious and suspicious, while Su Mi is carefree and impulsive. Her sudden departure frustrates him, but he accepts that she is powerful and difficult to control.
• Su Mi and Song Xue: Their familiarity as fellow townspeople is evident. Su Mi warns Song Xue about the danger of spying on Nameless, while Song Xue insists that exposing him is necessary. Su Mi is intrigued by Nameless, whereas Song Xue remains convinced he is a pervert and possible hypocrite.
• Su Mi and Song Xue regarding Mei Houdiao: They examine the evidence of Nameless saving Mei Houdiao, with Su Mi beginning to view Mei as someone Nameless may be preparing to play an important role.
• Nameless and Xiaoxi: Nameless calmly directs Xiaoxi to document the observers rather than attack them, demonstrating his confidence and restrained approach.

Chapter Summary: “One After Another”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Mei Houdiao searches for his missing wife and child while assisting Nameless with testing the Beastification Potion. After Nameless honestly explains the drug’s purpose and risks, Mei agrees, believing the potion may be humanity’s only hope.
• More and more cultivators and reporters arrive outside the planet to monitor Nameless. Xiaoxi repeatedly warns him of new observers, but Nameless remains calm and focused on his research.
• With Nameless’s potions, Mei gathers Survivors and eventually finds the remains of his wife and child. After burying them, he transforms his grief into determination and begins actively hunting the insect-like creatures.
• Mei forms a trusted beastified squad, secures the eastern urban district, and establishes a growing Survivor Base. Humanity gradually begins to fight back.
• Reporters, including Uncle Bear and a six-eyed panda, secretly observe and livestream Nameless’s actions. Their interest stems from the controversy over whether Nameless is genuinely selfless or merely seeking fame.
• The reporters follow one another to the planet, each believing they are the only hidden observer. Their concealed presence creates a humorous “mantis stalking the cicada while unaware of the oriole behind” situation.
• After six months of continuous experimentation, Nameless perfects and simplifies the potion-refining process. He gives Mei both the improved potion and instructions for mass production.
• The new Beastification Potion is safe, has no side effects, and gradually strengthens human bodies even with long-term use. Nameless believes humanity can now build a sustainable future.
• Xiaoxi reveals that 16,000 people are monitoring Nameless and that he remains one of the top trending topics. Nameless is baffled that people find his tedious research and humanitarian work so fascinating.

Character Developments

• Mei Houdiao: Moves from grief and uncertainty to active leadership. The loss of his family changes him, but he channels his pain into protecting humanity, hunting insects, recruiting Survivors, and organizing a resistance force.
• Nameless: Remains dedicated, cautious, and indifferent to fame. He works tirelessly to improve the potion and takes responsibility for ensuring that humanity can reproduce it independently.
• Xiaoxi: Continues serving as Nameless’s alert system and information source, tracking the growing number of observers and reporting public reactions.
• The reporters: Become increasingly obsessed with documenting Nameless, reflecting the public’s fascination with his motives and morality. Uncle Bear portrays him favorably, while others seek potentially sensational evidence.
• Song Xue: Begins sensing that something is wrong outside the moon despite surveillance showing nothing, suggesting that the hidden observers may eventually be discovered.

Significant Themes

• Selflessness versus reputation: Nameless acts without concern for recognition, yet his actions make him a major public figure. The chapter questions whether true goodness is defined by motives or results.
• Hope through knowledge and cooperation: Nameless’s research becomes meaningful only when shared with Mei and the Survivors, allowing ordinary people to defend themselves.
• Grief transformed into purpose: Mei’s tragedy motivates him to become a leader rather than remain helpless.
• Human resilience: Even in a world nearing extinction, organized effort, scientific development, and courage allow humanity to regain hope.

• Xiaoxi repeatedly informs Nameless about incoming observers and later tells him about his overwhelming popularity.
• Reporters compete indirectly to track and interpret Nameless, producing both serious commentary and comic misunderstandings.
• Uncle Bear publicly praises Nameless, while other reporters speculate about hidden motives, reinforcing the chapter’s central tension between genuine virtue and public suspicion.

Chapter Summary: “Perform, Give It Everything”

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• After spending six months solely developing the Beastification Potion, Nameless discovers that a huge number of reporters and cultivators have been monitoring him because of the Gong Xiang Incident.
• He considers using the attention to promote his ideas and inspire people to save endangered worlds, but decides not to contact the reporters directly. He fears they will distort his actions and spread malicious rumors.
• Nameless devises a plan to make the reporters approach him voluntarily: he publicly visits Okra to say goodbye, expecting that at least one reporter will seek an exclusive interview.
• He refuses Okra’s Space Crystal and asks her to protect the world and help it develop toward a brighter future. He also places a protective mark on her, promising to appear if her life is threatened.
• As Nameless prepares to leave, Uncle Bear reveals himself as a reporter. He nervously explains that he found the world through an acquaintance and that Nameless’s actions have been widely reported on the Oracle Network.
• Nameless pretends not to know about the reports, then acts intimidating when questioning Uncle Bear. Uncle Bear responds with flattery and an innocent, “cute” demeanor.
• Other reporters flee, while several remain to watch how Nameless handles the situation.

2. Character Developments

• Nameless: Becomes increasingly strategic and politically aware. Though he dislikes fame and fears slander, he recognizes that public attention can be used to encourage world-saving efforts. His concern for Okra and the planet confirms his compassion, while his staged farewell shows his talent for manipulation and performance.
• Okra: Shows deep gratitude and loyalty toward Nameless. She accepts the responsibility of safeguarding her world and is emotionally moved by his trust in her.
• Uncle Bear: Demonstrates his nervous but opportunistic nature. Despite fearing Nameless, he bravely approaches him to obtain an exclusive interview, relying on his established talent for acting harmless and adorable.
• The reporters: Their motivations are exposed as largely self-interested. Many care more about sensational stories and Nameless’s alleged crimes than about the suffering of the world’s inhabitants.

3. Significant Themes

• Good deeds and mixed motives: The chapter argues that selfish or performative motives do not necessarily invalidate beneficial actions. If endangered people are saved, the result still has value.
• Public perception and misinformation: Nameless fears that reporters will twist the truth, showing how reputation can be shaped by incomplete evidence and biased storytelling.
• Responsibility and hope: Nameless entrusts Okra with protecting the planet’s future, emphasizing that saving a world requires continued stewardship, not merely one dramatic intervention.
• Performance and manipulation: Both Nameless and Uncle Bear deliberately perform roles—Nameless as a threatening, mysterious figure and Uncle Bear as a harmless, flattering reporter—to influence one another.
• Compassion amid powerlessness: Nameless remains determined to help worlds whose inhabitants have no means of resisting powerful enemies, even though he considers himself weak and vulnerable.

4. Character Interactions

• Nameless and Okra: Their farewell is respectful and emotional. Nameless refuses her gift, gives her a mission, and protects her with a magical mark. Okra responds with tears, gratitude, and a promise to obey.
• Nameless and Uncle Bear: Their meeting is tense but theatrical. Nameless intimidates Uncle Bear while pretending ignorance of the media coverage, whereas Uncle Bear tries to disarm him through nervous politeness and exaggerated cuteness.

• The most valuable reward is Transformation Wine, which can help a cultivator evolve to a higher level. This causes widespread excitement and debate throughout the Divine Treasure Space.
• Most cultivators support Nameless, believing the plan is genuinely altruistic, although some accuse him of using the project to build a faction or setting a trap.
• At Akita Hut, Nameless explains to Big Yellow that he is willing to give away Transformation Wine because he and Big Yellow have already used it and cannot benefit from it again.
• Nameless emphasizes that even one additional cultivator joining the effort could save tens of millions of lives, making the plan worthwhile.

Character Developments

• Nameless is shown as serious, patient, and genuinely committed to saving lives rather than seeking fame or personal gain. He is willing to sacrifice valuable resources for the benefit of strangers.
• Song Xue remains bold, provocative, and determined to win Nameless over, interpreting his irritation as evidence that she has affected him emotionally. Her confidence borders on recklessness.

• Big Yellow questions the practicality of giving away Transformation Wine, helping highlight the scale of Nameless’s generosity.
• The cultivation community shifts from suspicion toward cautious support, with many cultivators inspired to become heroes and save worlds themselves.

• Heroism and inspiration: Nameless’s actions reignite the desire in others to save lives and become heroes.

Chapter Summary: “Publish”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Nameless changes the website’s name from Rescue Team to Rescue Network, recognizing that cultivators value freedom and may resist joining an organized faction.
• He entrusts Xiaoxi with building the website inside his Oracle Network fan section. After a week of programming, Nameless reinforces it with his contract power, using the entire Nameless Sea as collateral.
• Because Nameless still struggles to control his rapidly developing power, he creates an Oath System. Both clients and rescuers must accept its terms before posting or undertaking missions.
• The system prevents clients from using missions to manipulate rescuers against enemies and prevents rescuers from abusing or plundering the worlds they enter. Violators face deadly contractual backlash.
• Zhang Shouzhong, Cheng Xuejie, Lin Renmei, and Big Yellow test the system before the website officially launches.
• Rescue Network immediately receives numerous requests. Xiaoxi’s review program filters out trivial requests, allowing only genuine world-saving missions.
• A livestreamer named Flash explores the website and explains its mission levels and rewards, including eligibility to exchange completed missions for portions of Transformation Wine.
• A difficult mission involving a Hell Plane invasion is accepted almost immediately, demonstrating that powerful rescuers are already using the network.
• Viewers debate whether the missions and contractual protections are truly safe. Just as skepticism rises, all of Divine Treasure Space trembles under an overwhelming aura, leaving everyone silent and terrified.

Character Developments

• Nameless shows practical wisdom by abandoning the more restrictive “Rescue Team” concept and choosing a broader, more inclusive network. He also reveals insecurity about controlling his immense power, comparing himself to a child with a body developing too quickly.
• Xiaoxi demonstrates technical skill and reliability by designing the website, its review system, and the underlying organizational structure.
• Flash is enthusiastic and ambitious but inexperienced. She is tempted by the rewards yet recognizes that her current strength is insufficient for the most dangerous missions.
• The livestream viewers introduce doubts about Nameless’s influence, the reliability of the contracts, and the danger posed by enemies who oppose him.
• The tested companions help establish that the system is functional before public release.

Significant Themes

• Freedom versus organization: Rescue Network allows independent cultivators and groups to cooperate without forcing them into a formal faction.
• Responsibility and protection: The Oath System balances the interests of those seeking aid with those providing it.
• Power and control: Nameless possesses extraordinary strength but cannot fully command it, emphasizing that power without control can become a burden.
• Risk versus reward: The missions offer valuable rewards, but rescuers may face death or manipulation.
• Hope amid overwhelming suffering: The sheer number of requests reveals how many worlds are in danger, while Rescue Network represents a limited but meaningful attempt to help.
• Uncertainty and looming danger: The sudden terrifying aura suggests that a major threat—or powerful figure—may soon challenge the network and Nameless.

Character Interactions

• Nameless and Xiaoxi collaborate on the website’s creation, with Nameless supplying the contract power and Xiaoxi handling the technical work.
• Nameless discusses the scale of suffering with Zhang Shouzhong, acknowledging that even Rescue Network can help only a small fraction of endangered worlds.
• Flash examines the website publicly, while viewers challenge her optimism and question whether Nameless’s contracts can truly protect rescuers.
• The chapter ends with the entire community united in fearful silence when an unknown, overwhelmingly powerful presence shakes Divine Treasure Space.

Chapter Summary: “Deterrence and the Qi-Devouring Firebird”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Rescue Network releases a disturbing video showing a woman signing a rescue contract after driving a red spike into her own chest, apparently attempting to bypass the contract’s punishment.
• After signing, she is trapped by black liquid rising from the ground. She transforms into a giant snake and tries flames, lightning, and wind to escape, but nothing works.
• Her “god” intervenes by sending a massive blue arm across space. Just as it grabs the snake, the screen turns black, implying that an overwhelming and terrifying power has been unleashed.
• The video causes widespread alarm. Cultivators speculate that Rescue Network is warning potential rescuers that contracts and missions may contain hidden dangers.
• Online commentators analyze the footage. Know-It-All suggests that a Transcender may be behind “Mr. Nameless,” since the power shown was strong enough to affect and shake the Divine Treasure Space from the real world.
• Sharp Tiger Fang offers a more concrete interpretation: the contract itself existed before the mission was posted, and Mr. Nameless may have created or witnessed it. He also recognizes the black liquid as resembling an ability previously used by Mr. Nameless.
• Many cultivators conclude that Mr. Nameless is far stronger than previously believed and may be capable of clearing far more than the Divine Treasure Trial’s earlier levels.
• Rather than discouraging everyone, the revelation motivates capable cultivators to claim rescue missions quickly.
• Chen Wei becomes one of the first to act. As a cautious Variant Sword Immortal, he deliberately chooses a low-level mission to test Rescue Network’s system.
• Using the contract and a Sub-Crystal payment, Chen Wei is teleported to a world suffering from a spiritual-energy-based apocalypse.
• The world’s destruction is caused by Qi-Devouring Firebirds, small creatures that consume spiritual energy and produce a valuable spiritual flame.
• The chapter begins explaining how the alchemist Qing Danzi accumulated these birds through gifts from martial artists, while secretly aspiring to become a powerful martial artist himself.

Character Developments

• Mr. Nameless: His reputation changes dramatically. Cultivators now suspect he possesses power capable of influencing the Divine Treasure Space and possibly transcending its established limits.
• The woman in the video: She is portrayed as calculating and desperate, attempting to exploit the contract with the red spike. Her failure demonstrates that apparent loopholes may be useless against the forces behind the contract.
• Chen Wei: Introduced as careful, pragmatic, and willing to act decisively. His choice of a low-difficulty mission reflects both caution and a methodical desire to test the rescue system.
• Qing Danzi: Established as a talented but ambitious alchemist. Despite his mediocre cultivation talent, he wants to escape the limitations of his profession and pursue martial strength.

Significant Themes

• Deterrence through overwhelming power: Rescue Network’s video appears designed to warn people against cheating or exploiting its contracts.
• Hidden power and uncertainty: The black liquid, the blue arm, and the mysterious connection to the Divine Treasure Space suggest forces far beyond ordinary cultivators’ understanding.
• Reputation and speculation: Much of the chapter explores how limited evidence can radically reshape public opinion about Mr. Nameless.
• Risk versus opportunity: Although the video reveals that missions can be dangerous, cultivators are still drawn to the rewards and opportunities of rescuing worlds.
• Ambition and unintended consequences: Qing Danzi’s desire to become a martial artist, combined with the mass capture of Qi-Devouring Firebirds for his benefit, appears connected to the world’s developing catastrophe.

Character Interactions

• The main interaction is indirect: cultivators interpret Rescue Network’s video and debate Mr. Nameless’s identity and strength through online posts.
• Know-It-All provides a deliberately vague warning, while Sharp Tiger Fang offers a more practical explanation of the contract and Mr. Nameless’s abilities.
• Chen Wei interacts with the rescue system by accepting a mission, paying the required Sub-Crystal, and being teleported to the afflicted world.
• Qing Danzi’s relationship with the martial artists who supply him with Qi-Devouring Firebirds is introduced as mutually motivated but potentially harmful, since their efforts to curry favor may have contributed to the world’s ecological and spiritual collapse.

Chapter Summary: “Mutant Firebird”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Qing Danzi, a renowned alchemist, becomes obsessed with creating a pill that can improve innate talent. After exhausting countless materials—and even experimenting on humans—he fails repeatedly.
• He eventually notices that his Spirit-Eating Firebirds, which produce spirit fire for his alchemy, have evolved. Constant exposure to spiritual energy kills weaker birds but causes survivors to become stronger and live far longer.
• Qing Danzi begins experimenting on the birds, hoping to transfer their innate abilities into himself. He develops a dangerous method requiring him and a gifted Firebird to be refined together in an alchemy furnace.
• He asks the alchemist Bo Lizi to assist him, unaware that Bo Lizi resents him for dominating the alchemy market and reducing other alchemists’ profits.
• Driven by jealousy and greed, Bo Lizi deliberately adds the ingredients in the wrong order. Qing Danzi dies, but the flawed process creates a monstrous mutant Firebird carrying Qing Danzi’s abilities and knowledge.
• The mutant Firebird kills Bo Lizi, then reproduces rapidly. Its offspring drain the world’s spiritual energy, causing drought, famine, extreme heat, and mass deaths. Humanity is forced underground and is nearing extinction.
• Chen Wei arrives to destroy the Firebirds and restore the world. With the help of Zhu’er, the spirit of his Spirit Bamboo Sword, he detects that the strongest scorched aura is in the south.
• They travel toward a volcanic island where the enormous mutant Firebird rests while countless smaller Firebirds return to feed it their stolen spiritual energy.

Character Developments

• Qing Danzi shifts from a hopeful but increasingly desperate alchemist into an obsessive experimenter willing to risk his life for a breakthrough. His relentless work unintentionally creates the disaster.
• Bo Lizi is revealed as envious, resentful, and opportunistic. His sabotage kills Qing Danzi but also causes the catastrophic mutation, making his greed directly responsible for the world’s destruction.
• Chen Wei demonstrates both practicality and heroism. Although he normally would not sacrifice valuable cultivation time without a personal benefit, he genuinely values righteous action and gains spiritual strength from choosing to save the world.
• Zhu’er shows loyalty and affection toward Chen Wei. Her love and admiration deepen their bond and strengthen the power of Chen Wei’s Love Sword.

Significant Themes

• Unchecked ambition and obsession: Qing Danzi’s pursuit of improved talent leads him to violate moral boundaries and unleash a disaster.
• Jealousy and greed: Bo Lizi’s resentment transforms a risky experiment into a world-ending catastrophe.
• Unintended consequences: Even failed or corrupted actions can produce devastating results when powerful forces are involved.
• Sacrifice and heroism: Chen Wei’s decision to help others, despite lacking an immediate reward, strengthens both his resolve and his cultivation.
• Love as a source of power: Zhu’er’s affection appears to directly enhance Chen Wei’s Love Sword, suggesting that emotional bonds are central to his cultivation path.
• Nature and spiritual imbalance: The Firebirds consume the world’s spiritual energy, turning abundance into devastation and leaving the natural world scorched and barren.

Character Interactions

• Qing Danzi relies on Bo Lizi as a fellow alchemist, unaware that Bo Lizi secretly despises him.
• Bo Lizi’s betrayal during the experiment leads to Qing Danzi’s death and his own destruction.
• Chen Wei consults Zhu’er about the Firebirds’ location. Her sensitivity as a Spirit Bamboo Sword helps identify the south as the source of the world’s strongest scorched aura.
• Their affectionate partnership motivates Chen Wei’s heroic mission, while Zhu’er’s admiration strengthens his Love Sword.

Chapter Summary: “A Real Talent!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Chen Wei battles a small Qi-Eating Firebird in the sky. When the creature realizes he is controlling the Frost Crystal Sword, it attacks him directly, but he uses the rain and water vapor beneath the clouds to amplify his sword’s freezing power and destroy it.
• He reaches the Qi-Eating Firebird’s island nest, where the enormous parent bird realizes that Chen Wei killed one of its offspring.
• Chen Wei declares that the creature threatens the survival of the world and announces his intention to slay it.
• A fierce battle begins between Chen Wei and the large firebird. Although Chen Wei is vastly stronger, he deliberately makes the fight appear evenly matched during a livestream.
• The firebird knocks Chen Wei into the boiling sea, but Chen Wei freezes the water with his Frost Crystal Sword and survives several attacks.
• Chen Wei hides beneath the ice and impales the firebird with a massive ice spike, apparently dealing it a decisive blow.
• The smaller Qi-Eating Firebirds then merge into the larger one, causing it to expand dramatically and increase from Level 55 to Level 60.
• Despite the power increase posing no real threat to Chen Wei, he theatrically presents the situation as a desperate, life-or-death battle.

Character Developments

• Chen Wei demonstrates intelligence and tactical skill by exploiting the environment, using rainwater and freezing techniques to counter the firebird’s abilities.
• He reveals himself to be highly calculating and theatrical. Rather than defeating the bird immediately, he suppresses his strength and stages a dramatic struggle for his audience.
• Chen Wei also shows ambition when he considers turning the firebird into a sword seed, though he rejects the idea because forcibly refining an unwilling living creature would conflict with his principles as a Heterogeneous Sword Immortal.
• Nameless and Zhang Shouzhong recognize that Chen Wei is deliberately pretending to be in danger. They are entertained by his shameless self-promotion and treat the livestream like a movie.
• The three women—Zhu’er, Shuang’er, and Ling’er—support Chen Wei during the staged crisis, strengthening his performance and apparently giving him renewed “battle spirit.”

Significant Themes

• Intelligence over brute force: Chen Wei defeats the firebird by understanding its behavior and using the surrounding weather and water to counter its flames.
• Appearance versus reality: The livestream makes Chen Wei appear to be struggling, while the observers know he possesses an overwhelming advantage.
• Self-promotion and reputation: Chen Wei openly broadcasts his heroic mission, using Nameless’s reputation and platform to attract viewers and portray himself as a world-saving hero.
• Moral restraint: Although Chen Wei sees the firebird’s potential as a powerful sword seed, he refuses to forcibly transform it, emphasizing the importance of consent and proper cultivation principles.

• Zhu’er, Shuang’er, and Ling’er encourage Chen Wei from behind, declaring that they are unafraid because they are fighting to save the world, reinforcing his dramatic heroic persona.
• The chapter ends with Chen Wei preparing for the next stage of the battle after the firebird absorbs the smaller birds and grows stronger.

Chapter Summary: “Prayer of Love”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Chen Wei battles the qi-devouring firebird while pretending to be much weaker than he really is.
• Zhang Shouzhong exposes Chen Wei’s true strength during the livestream out of jealousy, despite claiming he is merely “righteous.” Viewers immediately turn against Chen Wei and mock him.
• Chen Wei uses increasingly powerful sword techniques, including “True Sword—Three Lives Create All Things,” to repeatedly destroy the firebird’s body and prevent its flames from reforming. He ultimately defeats it and completes the Rescue Network mission.
• Afterward, Chen Wei discovers that the livestream audience now knows he is an expert above the hundredth floor. He identifies the person who revealed him and becomes determined to find the “acquaintance” responsible.
• Nameless later enters combat against an ordinary ant and realizes that his Prayer of Love ability has grown stronger.
• The ability grants Nameless one blessing for every life he has saved. Each blessing increases his combat strength by one percent and can block one fatal attack.
• Nameless realizes that people rescued through the Rescue Network also count as lives saved by him. By enabling others to save worlds, he has unknowingly accumulated enormous benefits for himself.
• He considers expanding the Rescue Network throughout the Divine Treasure Space, potentially turning countless cultivators into sources of additional combat strength.
• Meanwhile, powerful figures begin analyzing Nameless’s motives. Baipusen, a tyrannical regional ruler, suspects the Rescue Network is a hidden scheme designed to control both rescuers and those seeking aid.

Character Developments

• Chen Wei: Demonstrates overwhelming strength while maintaining an exhausted façade. His successful deception is undermined when his true cultivation is exposed, leaving him angry and suspicious.
• Zhang Shouzhong: Reveals a petty and jealous side beneath his claims of righteousness. He deliberately exposes Chen Wei but disguises his motives as moral principle.
• Nameless: Learns that his charitable actions have produced a powerful practical reward through Prayer of Love. He begins considering how to expand his influence and increase the Rescue Network’s reach.
• Baipusen: Shows himself to be cynical, suspicious, and morally corrupt. He assumes that anyone who survived the Divine Treasury Trial must have ulterior motives and views Nameless’s rewards with interest despite distrusting him.
• Mo Baier: Hesitantly defends Nameless as possibly a good person but quickly agrees with Baipusen’s interpretation, revealing her submissive relationship with him.

Significant Themes

• Good deeds and unintended rewards: Nameless created the Rescue Network to help others without seeking personal gain, yet his actions grant him immense strength through Prayer of Love.
• Suspicion of altruism: Many powerful figures cannot believe Nameless is acting selflessly, showing how prolonged exposure to deception and conflict destroys trust.
• Public image versus reality: Chen Wei’s carefully maintained disguise collapses when his real power is revealed, while Nameless’s apparently benevolent organization is viewed by others as potentially manipulative.
• Jealousy and hypocrisy: Zhang Shouzhong frames his personal jealousy as righteousness, illustrating how noble language can conceal selfish motives.
• Power through connections: Nameless’s strength can now grow through the actions of people connected to his organization, suggesting that influence and networks may be as valuable as personal cultivation.

Character Interactions

• Chen Wei interacts with the livestream audience after his victory, only to discover that they are mocking him because his strength has been revealed.
• Nameless reflects on his connection with Su Jingyao through the Prayer of Love ability and recognizes how their shared power functions.
• Baipusen questions Mo Baier about Nameless while engaging in inappropriate and domineering behavior toward her. He then dismisses Nameless’s apparent kindness as a likely scheme and studies the Rescue Network’s new rewards with greed.

Chapter Summary: “Mamakini”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Rescuers’ Website announces a new reward: anyone who rescues ten worlds can obtain the mysterious Force Field Cultivation Method used by Nameless in the Divine Treasury Trial.
• Because the method requires a strict personal-use contract and cannot be taught to others, the announcement causes the Oracle Network to erupt with excitement. Many people immediately sign up as rescuers, creating a situation where there are more rescuers than help requests.
• Netizens debate whether this change reflects genuine kindness or merely greed motivated by the reward. The argument becomes so heated that some users even arrange real-world fights.
• Nameless remains uninvolved in the controversy, spending his time at Akita Hut. The increased number of rescuers occasionally boosts his combat strength several times over, though the effect disappears outside combat and does not raise his actual cultivation level.
• Lin Renmei enters a nearby bride-challenge tournament, where female contestants can win a newly born Mamakini by becoming the final arena champion.
• Lin Renmei quickly loses after an opponent uses a special item to knock her out of the arena. Although she is much stronger than her opponent, the tournament rules allow any method except killing or leaving the arena.
• Back at Akita Hut, Lin Renmei vents her frustration. Cheng Xuejie laughs at her, especially because Nameless had confidently predicted that Renmei’s victory would be nearly certain.
• Lin Renmei then proposes using Nameless’s Bioforce Field to merge with Cheng Xuejie’s and secretly enhance her fighting ability. After persuading Cheng Xuejie with the promise of unlimited delicious food, she gains Nameless’s approval.
• Cheng Xuejie reluctantly agrees to participate in the next attempt, largely because both she and Nameless are tempted by the rare Mamakini prize.

Character Developments

• Nameless: Remains detached from the online uproar and focused on reading, but reveals that he also covets the Mamakini. He agrees to assist Cheng Xuejie and Lin Renmei despite recognizing the questionable nature of their plan.
• Lin Renmei: Shows competitiveness and stubbornness after her unfair arena defeat. Her frustration turns into determination, and she becomes the driving force behind the plan to use Nameless as a “cheat” in the tournament.
• Cheng Xuejie: Initially amused by Renmei’s defeat and unwilling to fight, she is gradually persuaded by the prospect of obtaining a Mamakini. Her eventual agreement is reluctant and makes her appear as though she has been bullied into participating.
• The rescuers and netizens: Their behavior illustrates both the growing influence of Nameless and the mixed motivations of people who claim to help others.

Significant Themes

• Altruism versus self-interest: The new rescue reward inspires widespread helpful behavior, but the online debate questions whether people are truly kind or simply motivated by personal gain.
• Reputation and influence: Nameless’s actions have improved the atmosphere of the Divine Treasure Space, even though his influence also produces competition and opportunism.
• Strength versus rules and strategy: Lin Renmei’s superior power cannot guarantee victory in an arena governed by unusual rules, emphasizing the importance of tactics, items, and loopholes.
• Temptation and cooperation: The rare Mamakini motivates the characters to collaborate and consider bending the spirit of the tournament rules.
• Humor and character dynamics: The chapter relies heavily on teasing and comedic misunderstandings, particularly through Cheng Xuejie and Lin Renmei’s interactions with Nameless.

Important Character Interactions

• Cheng Xuejie teases Lin Renmei after her unexpected defeat.
• Lin Renmei attempts to recruit Cheng Xuejie into the tournament plan, using the promise of exquisite food to persuade her.

Chapter Summary: “Targets and Objectives”

Key Plot Points and Events

• A new street has been transformed into a martial contest venue, with ten arenas outside a shop. Each arena has a reigning champion accepting challengers.
• Inside the shop, a veiled woman plans to lure Young Master Nameless into the contest. She orders her maid to provoke him if necessary; if he refuses to appear, the Ten-Colored Attendants are instructed to defend the arenas and prevent anyone from winning.
• Lin Renmei and Cheng Xuejie arrive at Arena Three, where Lin previously lost after her opponent used an item to force her off the arena.
• Because the contest’s rankings depend on victories and the length of time contestants defend an arena, the earlier Cheng Xuejie begins challenging, the better her chance of winning a valuable prize—possibly a Mamakini.
• Cheng Xuejie enters Arena Three to challenge Zhang Jie, the man who defeated Lin Renmei. With Nameless secretly lending her his Bioforce Field and Psychokinesis, she overwhelms Zhang’s body and instincts, then throws him off the arena.
• Zhang calls Cheng a “monster,” shocked by the terrifying aura she emits. Lin Renmei mocks him by repeating the same advice he once gave her: to accept defeat with dignity.
• Zhang seeks outside assistance, and another challenger, Maria, enters the arena.
• Maria initially appears cheerful and harmless, but reveals a powerful beast-like form with a crocodilian tail, flames, claws, and a frightening roar. Her intimidation counters Cheng Xuejie’s simulated dragon aura.
• Cheng and Maria clash directly, producing enough force to strain even the elite referee’s protective barrier and astonish the spectators.

Character Developments

• Cheng Xuejie: Demonstrates major growth. Her Bioforce Field has strengthened her body and mind in synchronization, allowing her to awaken Psychokinesis. Empowered by Nameless, she becomes vastly more intimidating and physically powerful, easily defeating Zhang Jie.
• Nameless: Remains hidden within Cheng Xuejie’s body, blended into her blood. He deliberately withdraws his consciousness to avoid being exposed, assisting only through his Bioforce Field and Psychokinesis.
• Lin Renmei: Shows confidence and satisfaction after Cheng avenges her defeat. Her exchange with Zhang reveals her sharper, more assertive side.
• Zhang Jie: His earlier arrogance collapses when Cheng effortlessly defeats him. He becomes frightened and humiliated, then attempts to retaliate by finding another challenger.
• Maria: Introduced as a cute, friendly young woman but quickly reveals formidable beastly abilities and a powerful fighting spirit.
• The veiled woman: Establishes herself as calculating and manipulative, designing the tournament specifically to target Nameless and control who can win.

Significant Themes

• Growth and hidden power: Cheng Xuejie’s progress shows how long-term cultivation and Nameless’s support have transformed her into a powerful combatant.
• Strategy versus strength: The arena contest rewards not only power but also wealth, items, timing, and tactical preparation.
• Revenge and reversal of humiliation: Cheng’s victory allows Lin Renmei to answer Zhang Jie’s earlier mockery, reversing their positions.
• Concealed identities and manipulation: Nameless hides his presence while the veiled woman secretly arranges events to draw him into the contest.
• Appearance versus reality: Both Cheng and Maria defy expectations—Cheng appears ordinary but radiates monstrous power, while Maria’s adorable appearance conceals a dangerous beast form.
• Competition and social stakes: The contest is framed as a martial competition for marriage, but it also functions as a struggle for valuable prizes, status, and control.

Character Interactions

• The veiled woman teases and threatens her maid while explaining the plan to lure Nameless into the arena.
• Lin Renmei encourages Cheng Xuejie and assures her that she will not be angry if Cheng gives her best effort.
• Zhang Jie taunts Cheng by suggesting she is fighting on Lin’s behalf, but Cheng defeats him before he can use his arena-removing item.
• Lin Renmei returns Zhang’s former words against him after his defeat.
• Maria and Cheng exchange polite remarks before engaging in an intense and evenly matched battle, with their opposing forms of intimidation—simulated dragon might and beastly roar—colliding immediately.
