• Mo Yuan warned Xu Rongzhi to stop his underhanded methods and ended by telling him to die.

Xu Rongzhi ordered his mecha to attack Mo Yuan, but Mo Yuan’s Ninth-Level Soul Guide Shield withstood the volleys while he analyzed the Soul Guidance Rays. He created a bracelet that absorbed the attacks and converted their energy into Soul Power, leaving Xu Rongzhi forced to call off the fire.

• Mo Yuan rapidly demonstrated a Magic Array and corrected two trainees’ engraving techniques as the group struggled to keep up.
• Mo Yuan called them the worst batch he had taught, explained that hesitation caused flaws in energy conduction, and watched them restart their practice.

Mo Yuan finished training twelve workers to operate the production line, then used a ten-thousand-year Three-Legged Golden Toad Soul Bone to help Jin Ling evolve and recorded a possible key energy frequency behind Soul Spirit advancement. The chapter left Mo Yuan considering whether to establish his own force and struggling to choose a name.

• Mo Yuan ended the twelve-day training course and assigned the twelve workers to handle the first trial production run.
• Mo Yuan heated the Three-Legged Golden Toad Soul Bone in his furnace while recording its energy spectrum.

• Mo Yuan identified a recurring frequency band around one hundred thousand hertz and archived it as a tentative key energy frequency for Soul Spirit advancement.
• Mo Yuan considered founding his own force but could not decide whether to call it Anti-Entropy, Schicksal, or World Serpent.

Mo Yuan confirmed that his rare-metal production technology could replace most of the Federation’s domestic mining, then showed Chen Xinjie a spatial energy-storage design for the fleet. Chen Xinjie learned the technology already had a finished prototype, while mass production still required verification.

• Fu Moxin visited Mo Yuan with Chen Xinjie and asked about the scope and output of the rare-metal production technology.
• Mo Yuan told Fu Moxin that the first workshop could produce about three hundred kilograms daily and that expanded production could replace more than eighty percent of domestic mining within three years.

• Mo Yuan offered Ling Zichen a position as his assistant, citing his resources and her expertise in Source research.
• Ling Zichen agreed to review the complete paper first, and Mo Yuan gave her a data card before she left.

Mo Yuan analyzed Ling Zichen’s Mecha fusion and energy pathways, while Ling Zichen used his paper to improve her laboratory’s energy output efficiency by thirty percent. After her colleagues learned she planned to join Mo Yuan’s project, they began asking to go with her, and she called him to ask whether he needed more people.

• Mo Yuan used his Analysis Authority to record Ling Zichen’s energy pathways and Mecha structure for his research.
• Ling Zichen adjusted the laboratory’s experimental plan according to Mo Yuan’s paper and achieved a thirty percent increase in energy output efficiency.

• After a robot escorted Tang Wulin and Xie Xie away, Mo Yuan asked Na'er whether he should call her Na'er or the Silver Dragon King.

Mo Yuan discovered that Na'er and Gu Yuena were alternating control of the same body after his Fenghuang Down prevented Gu Yuena from devouring Na'er's personality. He left them at odds over his interference and his claim that he would lead the changes that would make old powers like Gu Yuena obsolete.

• Mo Yuan confirmed that the silver-eyed girl was Na'er, then realized Gu Yuena's personality had emerged without Na'er's memories.
