Mo Yuan explained his theory that Soul Rings limited the Soul Master system and outlined two alternatives: drawing out a person's own genetic power or fusing with a compatible Soul Beast. After Gu Yuena struggled to follow his explanation, Mo Yuan finished debugging the Full-Spectrum Analyzer and started it with the Soul Spirits ready.

• Mo Yuan told Gu Yuena that he wanted to replace the Soul Master system and argued that Soul Rings were an outdated foundation.
• Mo Yuan theorized that Soul Rings expressed abilities carried in genes and that reincarnated Soul Beasts and God-Given Soul Rings revealed power from within.
• Mo Yuan proposed abandoning Soul Rings to unlock innate power or fully fusing with one Soul Beast, while Gu Yuena listened in shock.
• Mo Yuan finished debugging the Full-Spectrum Analyzer, confirmed the Soul Spirits were in place, and pressed the start button.

Mo Yuan analyzed Artificial Soul Spirit genes and identified standardized functional modules derived from Natural Soul Beast genes. He planned to reverse-engineer how the Spirit Pagoda combined them as a foundation for studying the Super Mutation Factor.

• Mo Yuan used the Full-Spectrum Information Analyzer and Amber to examine Soul Spirit Balls while Gu Yuena watched.
• Mo Yuan found that Artificial Soul Spirit genes were about ninety-two percent similar to Natural Soul Beast genes and consisted of recombined Soul Beast fragments with artificial links.
• Mo Yuan grouped recurring sequences into Power-System Regulatory Fragments and identified modules that enhanced energy efficiency, strength, mental sensitivity, elemental control, and regeneration.
• Mo Yuan concluded that the Spirit Pagoda had standardized basic gene modules but still added advanced abilities inconsistently.
• Mo Yuan decided to reverse-engineer the functional modules' optimization logic so he could recombine them and pursue research into the Super Mutation Factor.

Mo Yuan explained his Soul Beast gene research to Gu Yuena, then adapted Super Mutation Factor technology to test a White Armored Earth Dragon gene. He synthesized the gene and prepared a culture, but still needed a stable carrier for the factor.

• Mo Yuan classified five types of gene fragments used in Artificial Soul Spirits and told Gu Yuena the research could not recreate Soul Beasts.
• Mo Yuan examined the White Armored Earth Dragon's gene sequences and identified the segment responsible for its scales' rapid hardening.
• Mo Yuan reviewed his adapted Super Mutation Factor technology and concluded that Soul Beast genes posed less risk of rejection than Honkai Beast genes.
• Mo Yuan simulated fusing the White Armored Earth Dragon gene with human biology and judged the results safe enough to test.
• Mo Yuan synthesized the gene and placed it in culture, then turned to preparing the Super Mutation Factor, which required a stable carrier.

Mo Yuan created a trial Super Mutation Serum using White Armored Earth Dragon genes and dormant Blue Silver Emperor gene segments, aiming to give ordinary people Soul Beast abilities without Soul Power or Soul Rings. He stored the serum for stability testing while Gu Yuena considered learning his scientific methods.

• Mo Yuan found that dormant Blue Silver Emperor gene segments could serve as a carrier for foreign genes by promoting vitality, adaptability, and compatibility with human cells.
• Mo Yuan combined the carrier segments with White Armored Earth Dragon genes and stabilizing mental-type genes to form the Super Mutation Factor.
• Mo Yuan prepared the serum, added spiritual-herb stabilizing buffer, and labeled the test tube “(Trial Production) Super Mutation Serum—White Armored Earth Dragon Type.”
• Mo Yuan told Gu Yuena that the serum might give ordinary people nearly all the abilities of a White Armored Earth Dragon without Soul Power, Soul Rings, or talent.
• Mo Yuan stored the serum at four degrees Celsius and recorded the experiment, while Gu Yuena hoped he would succeed and considered learning the science from him.

Mo Yuan took Na'er back to Aolai City to visit his parents after assigning Amber to screen candidates for the Super Mutation Serum. The chapter ended with Lin Zhiwei embracing Na'er as she returned home.

• Mo Yuan tasked Amber with finding suitable experimental candidates for the Super Mutation Serum and allowed her to access all parties' databases.
• Mo Yuan brought Na'er to Aolai City on Project Bunny, and she fell asleep against him during the ride.
• Mo Yuan and Na'er arrived at his family's apartment in Red Mountain Academy and surprised Mo Qingfeng at the door.
• Mo Qingfeng welcomed Na'er home, and Lin Zhiwei rushed out to embrace her.

Mo Yuan reunited with his family in Eastsea City and promised to stay home for a few days. After Amber sent him a screened candidate list, he reviewed the seven names and chose one.

• Lin Zhiwei and Na'er reunited emotionally, while Mo Yuan and Mo Qingfeng joined them in the living room.
• Mo Yuan told his parents he would stay for one night or possibly two, and Mo Qingfeng praised his accomplishments.
• Lin Zhiwei revealed that Mo Qingfeng had been taking his gifted Mecha out for joyrides, and Mo Yuan noticed his parents were wearing the defensive Necklaces he had given them.
• Amber sent Mo Yuan a candidate list, but he postponed reviewing it until after spending time with his family.
• After his family went to bed, Mo Yuan opened Amber's file, saw Tang Wulin, Wang Jinxi, and Xie Xie among the seven candidates, and selected one of them.

After returning to Eastsea City, Mo Yuan chose Chen Qi, a village boy with a Qilin Armor Beast Martial Soul, as the next candidate for the Super Mutation Serum. Mo Yuan and Na'er found Chen Qi at home, where Mo Yuan asked if he wanted to become stronger.

• Mo Yuan returned to Eastsea City with Na'er and reviewed Chen Qi's file at the Anti-Entropy Technology laboratory.
• Amber reported that Chen Qi came from an ordinary farming family and had a brief hardening Soul Skill but no recorded Soul Spirit.
• Mo Yuan chose Chen Qi as the serum candidate because his degraded dragon-descendant Martial Soul might benefit from restored Dragon Clan genes.
• Na'er chose to accompany Mo Yuan to Bluestone Village instead of returning to class.
• Mo Yuan and Na'er traveled to Chen Qi's home, where Mo Yuan introduced himself and asked whether Chen Qi wanted to become stronger.

Mo Yuan recruited Chen Qi into Anti-Entropy and injected him with the Super Mutation Serum made with White Armored Earth Dragon genes. The serum began fusing with Chen Qi’s cells, and the lab’s monitoring data suddenly started fluctuating as the experiment reached its critical stage.

• Mo Yuan persuaded Chen Qi, whose childhood friend had advanced far beyond him, to join Anti-Entropy and warned him that the experiment carried risks.
• Three days later, Amber sent a robot to bring Chen Qi from Bluestone Village to Anti-Entropy Tower for examination.
• Mo Yuan checked Chen Qi’s vital signs and administered a Mental Enhancement Serum before injecting the Super Mutation Serum.
• Chen Qi rested under observation while Amber monitored his vital signs and Mo Yuan and Gu Yuena watched the fusion process.
• A warning sounded and the laboratory’s Soul-Guided screen data began jumping, signaling that the experiment had reached its most important stage.

Chen Qi underwent a dangerous fusion with fragments of the White Armored Earth Dragon’s genes while Mo Yuan monitored him and refused to interrupt the process. Chen Qi survived and fell into a deep sleep, leaving Mo Yuan to arrange his recovery and promise to demonstrate what a Fusion Warrior could do.

• Chen Qi’s body reacted violently as the White Armored Earth Dragon’s genes began to fuse with his existing Qilin Armor Beast genes.
• Mo Yuan stopped Amber from administering a sedative, judging that it could disrupt the fusion.
• Chen Qi endured the violent changes for ten minutes before the fusion completed and he lost consciousness.
• Mo Yuan ordered Amber to release a recovery sedative after Chen Qi’s readings stabilized.
• Chen Qi woke briefly, and Mo Yuan confirmed that he had succeeded and fused with fragments of the White Armored Earth Dragon’s genes.
• Robots carried Chen Qi away on a stretcher so he could rest.

After recovering from his mental exhaustion, Chen Qi underwent tests that revealed his Fusion Warrior body far exceeded the abilities of an ordinary level-twelve Soul Master. He defeated a level-thirty-one combat robot through overwhelming strength, though his lack of combat experience remained a weakness.

• Chen Qi woke after nearly twelve hours of sleep and followed Amber to Mo Yuan and Gu Yuena for testing.
• Chen Qi's strength, speed, endurance, and Soul Power tests showed abilities far beyond those of an ordinary level-twelve Soul Master, with Soul Power reserves equivalent to a level-thirty-three Soul Elder.
• Chen Qi's White Armored Earth Dragon scales withstood attacks up to roughly level forty-eight Soul Ancestor strength before cracking.
• Chen Qi fought a level-thirty-one combat robot, activated his first Soul Skill, and pinned and destroyed it despite his limited combat experience.
• Mo Yuan praised Chen Qi's overwhelming stats, and Gu Yuena said he might rival a newly advanced Soul Ancestor once he adapted to his strength.

Mo Yuan attended a closed military meeting in West Mountain, where he presented the Miniature Spatial Energy Storage Core and secured military cooperation for its development. After the meeting, Chen Xinjie stopped him and led him to meet someone.

• Mo Yuan left his laboratory for Mingdu after Chen Xinjie summoned him, leaving Amber to continue the Soul Beast gene sequencing work.
• Gu Yuan gave Mo Yuan the meeting agenda, and they traveled to the Central Legion's secured resort in West Mountain.
• The nine standing legion commanders reviewed routine equipment plans before Chen Xinjie called for a closed technical briefing.
• Mo Yuan explained the Miniature Spatial Energy Storage Core, and the legion commanders agreed to adopt it and cooperate with Anti-Entropy Technology.
• The Federation Academy of Sciences presented its projects, and Zhang Huanyun took the Heavy Ion Ray Gun project for the Blood God Legion.
• After the meeting, Chen Xinjie stopped Mo Yuan and brought him to another room to introduce him to someone.

Mo Yuan visited the Central Legion’s base with Yu Guanzhi and Chen Xinjie, then learned that successful challengers of the God of War Hall could earn rapid promotions. He ended the chapter by asking whether he could challenge it to obtain a general’s rank.

• Yu Guanzhi welcomed Mo Yuan and proposed putting Mo Yuan’s technology to use in the Central Legion’s special unit.

• Chen Xinjie explained that a soldier who cleared all eighteen levels could be specially promoted to Lieutenant General Rank.
• Mo Yuan asked if he could challenge the God of War Hall to get a general’s rank.

Mo Yuan accompanied Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi into the God of War Hall, analyzing its construction and technologies along the way. At the Hall, Chen Xinjie introduced Mo Yuan to the War Gods as a challenger and told them not to hold back.

• Chen Xinjie explained that Mo Yuan could not raise his military rank by challenging the God of War Hall because he was not a Federation military officer.
• Mo Yuan suggested visiting the God of War Hall, and Chen Xinjie verified their identities and led him and Yu Guanzhi through the Gate of Hell.

• Guan Yue and the other War Gods greeted Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi when they arrived in the Hall.
• Chen Xinjie introduced Mo Yuan as the Federation's youngest Level-9 Soul Engineer and announced that he had come to challenge the God of War Hall.

Mo Yuan challenged the God of War Hall and defeated Mo Zihong by analyzing and countering the sound waves of his Demon Qin. Ao Rui stepped in as the next opponent, and Mo Yuan brought out the Key of Creation—Abyss Flower as their battle began.

• Mo Yuan accepted Chen Xinjie's challenge and called for a God of War Hall warrior to face him.
• Mo Zihong introduced himself as a Level-96 control-type Super Douluo and attacked Mo Yuan with his Cursed Music Qin.
• Mo Yuan used a metal rod to counter the qin's sound waves, snapping its strings and injuring Mo Zihong.
• Ao Rui helped stabilize Mo Zihong while the other God of War warriors held back, wary of Mo Yuan's quick analysis.
• Mo Yuan challenged the warriors again, and Ao Rui accepted before Mo Yuan summoned the Key of Creation—Abyss Flower.

Mo Yuan overwhelmed Ao Rui with the Abyss Flower’s Spear of Salvation Blossoms, leaving his Battle Armor battered but sparing his life. Guan Yue called Mo Yuan a young Limit, and the chapter ended with him asking Chen Xinjie why he had brought Mo Yuan there.

• Mo Yuan used the Abyss Flower’s Spear of Salvation Blossoms against Ao Rui, whose Battle Armor’s defenses were shattered by the attack.
• Guan Yue stopped Mo Zihong and the other War Gods from rushing into the arena, assuring them that Ao Rui was alive.
• Ao Rui realized Mo Yuan had spared him and bowed to thank him; the remaining War Gods declined to challenge Mo Yuan.
• Guan Yue praised Mo Yuan as a young Limit, astonishing the War Gods and Yu Guanzhi, while Chen Xinjie admitted he had not known Mo Yuan was so powerful.
• Mo Yuan said Guan Yue did not need to be modest, and Guan Yue asked Chen Xinjie whether he had brought Mo Yuan there for an important reason.

Mo Yuan explored the God of War Hall’s lower levels, analyzing its Soul Conduction Arrays and using his abilities to bypass the traps. He reached the seventeenth level’s lava lake and provoked the Fire Host Clan, whose first attack came flying toward him.

• Mo Yuan told Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi that he had come to tour the God of War Hall and wanted to continue through its Eighteen Levels of Hell.
• Mo Yuan rode the descending platform and used Fenghuang Down and his Analysis authority to study the hall’s structure and mechanisms.
• Mo Yuan passed the first fifteen levels, ignoring the eighth level’s illusion and overcoming the ninth level’s shifting gravity and Soul Guidance Rays.
• Mo Yuan crossed the sixteenth level’s underground river by reducing gravity and flying to the passage beyond its whirlpool.
• Mo Yuan flew over the seventeenth level’s lava lake and called for the Fire Host Clan to appear.
• A huge lava fireball shot from the lake toward Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan froze the Crimson Magma Sea with Sleep of All Things, then used his knowledge of Huo Tian’s origins to persuade the Fire Host Clan leader that he might help them return to Falan World. Huo Tian agreed to trust him and offered a flame as repayment.

• Mo Yuan used Sleep of All Things to freeze a magma fireball and spread ice across much of the Crimson Magma Sea.
• Huo Tian confronted Mo Yuan, and Mo Yuan revealed that he knew Huo Tian was a leader of the Fire Host Clan from Falan World.
• Mo Yuan asked whether Huo Tian wanted to return to Falan World, and Huo Tian admitted that he did.
• Mo Yuan showed Huo Tian Judgement of Shamash and Sleep of All Things, convincing him that Mo Yuan might one day travel through space and find their home.
• Huo Tian agreed to believe Mo Yuan and offered him a small wisp of flame as repayment.

Mo Yuan accepted the Seven-Colored Lotus Flower Flame and collected biological samples from the Fire Host Clan before leaving the seventeenth level. At the eighteenth level, Chen Xinjie appointed him a special consultant and granted him the rank of Federal Lieutenant General.

• Huo Tian gave Mo Yuan the Seven-Colored Lotus Flower Flame and a token for the Fire Host Clan, and Mo Yuan collected biological tissue from the clan members.
• Mo Yuan left the Magma Fire Purgatory and reached the eighteenth level, where he met Chen Xinjie, Guan Yue, and Yu Guanzhi.
• Mo Yuan told Chen Xinjie and the others about the Fire Host Clan and his plans for the Federation to become a spacefaring civilization.
• Chen Xinjie presented Mo Yuan with a certificate and badge, appointing him a special consultant and granting him the rank of Federal Lieutenant General.

Mo Yuan received an exceptional promotion to lieutenant general and spoke privately with Yu Guanzhi before visiting Mingdu Laboratory. There, he found an unstable Source experiment underway, and Ling Zichen warned him to run just before it exploded.

• Chen Xinjie gave Mo Yuan the rank and insignia of lieutenant general, citing his miniature spatial energy-storage core technology.
• Mo Yuan accepted the promotion and realized Chen Xinjie and Yu Guanzhi had likely arranged it to bring him into the Federation’s military and political sphere.
• Yu Guanzhi spoke with Mo Yuan privately for about twenty minutes, then they left the God of War Hall through a secret passage.
• Mo Yuan rode Project Bunny to Mingdu Laboratory and found rare metal blocks extracting Source in an empty laboratory.
• The Sources became unstable, Ling Zichen shouted for Mo Yuan to run, and the experimental device exploded.

Mo Yuan contained an explosion during Ling Zichen’s final experiment and discovered that her team had completed the first six phases of the Source Loop Reaction Array ahead of schedule. He agreed to help with the final verification after revising the plan and ordering the researchers to use Amber’s urgent reporting channel for risky operations.

• Mo Yuan used the Key of Binding: Oath of Judah to contain the explosion before it spread through the laboratory.
• Mo Yuan found Ling Zichen and the researchers unharmed in the central control room and demanded an explanation and the experiment logs.
• Mo Yuan reviewed the records and learned that Ling Zichen’s team had completed the first six phases and was conducting the planned final verification.
• Ling Zichen showed Mo Yuan a progress report sent to Amber, but its vague wording meant it had not been treated as a major operation notification.
• Mo Yuan agreed to help with the final verification, required future risky experiments to await confirmation through Amber’s urgent reporting channel, and revised the plan before checking the equipment.

Mo Yuan corrected Ling Zichen’s experimental apparatus and successfully activated a stable Source Loop Reaction Array, whose prototype could power a medium-sized urban district. After he presented the results to Chen Xinjie, Fu Moxin, and Yu Guanzhi, they agreed to pursue a pilot array, while Fu Moxin began considering handing over his position.

• Mo Yuan revised Ling Zichen’s apparatus plan to prevent overlapping variables from causing energy instability, then sent her the changes.
• Ling Zichen and two researchers adjusted the apparatus, and Mo Yuan activated it; the array reached a stable self-sustaining operating state.
• Mo Yuan invited Chen Xinjie to the Eastern Suburbs Laboratory, and Fu Moxin and Yu Guanzhi later joined them to review the operating data.
• Mo Yuan explained that a large Source Loop Reaction Array could supply Mingdu with stable base energy, and Yu Guanzhi and Fu Moxin agreed to pursue a pilot project.
• Fu Moxin recalled his conversation with Chen Xinjie and wondered whether to hand his position to someone who could lead the Federation into a new era.

Tang Wulin struggled to earn enough from blacksmithing to repay Mo Yuan while training with his rapidly improving classmates. Wu Zhangkong announced that Class Zero would compete in the Skysea Grand Competition, and Chen Qi resolved to win the championship for the Alliance Leader.

• Tang Wulin and Xie Xie sparred with Chen Qi and saw how much his strength and defense had improved.
• Chen Qi said he could endure a Soul Ancestor's attacks for forty minutes, while Tang Wulin wondered how he could grow stronger quickly.
• Tang Wulin recalled that a flood of cheap Thousand-Refined Metal had crashed the market and left him unable to earn enough to repay Mo Yuan.
• Gu Yue watched Chen Qi train and recognized that his progress exceeded what ordinary cultivation could explain.
• Wu Zhangkong announced that every Class Zero student would enter the Skysea Grand Competition's youth individual and three-person team matches.
• Chen Qi clenched his fists and vowed to win the championship for the Alliance Leader.

Mo Yuan pressed Xu Tianming for Eastsea City to accept Anti-Entropy’s terms, confident the city would comply as Chen Qi’s abilities became known. He then offered Ling Zichen a new project: building warships.

• Mo Yuan gave Xu Tianming one day to discuss Anti-Entropy’s terms with Li Qingyun before Eastsea City had to respond.
• Ling Zichen questioned whether the Super Mutation Serum could work on her, and Mo Yuan said it was unsuitable for her for now.
• Mo Yuan explained that his long-term goal was to develop Stigmata from a person’s own power, especially for Tool Soul Masters.
• Mo Yuan said Eastsea City would accept his terms, citing Zhu Ming’s silence and Chen Qi’s upcoming appearance at the Skysea Grand Competition.
• Mo Yuan told Ling Zichen that her new project was to build warships.

Ling Zichen agreed to lead the development of Mo Yuan’s small floating warship, while Xu Tianming brought Anti-Entropy’s demanding terms to Li Qingyun. Li Qingyun decided Eastsea City would accept every condition, leaving Xu Tianming to deliver the answer the next day.

• Mo Yuan outlined a sixty-to-eighty-meter floating warship, and Ling Zichen agreed to review the existing designs and lead its construction.
• Ling Zichen asked to be the first to ride the finished ship, and Mo Yuan agreed while joking privately that she could test whether it crashed.
• Xu Tianming hurried to Li Qingyun and presented Anti-Entropy’s terms, including control over private territory, airspace, coastal waters, redevelopment, and City Guard mobilization.
• Li Qingyun weighed Mo Yuan’s influence and the potential benefits for Eastsea City, then ordered Xu Tianming to accept every condition without negotiation.
• Xu Tianming questioned how the people of Eastsea City would view the agreement, and Li Qingyun said they would understand in time.

Mo Yuan analyzed Xie Xie's blood to investigate how his Weapon Martial Souls might mutate into the Space-Time Dragon. He concluded that Martial Souls could arise from hereditary information activated by Soul Power and spiritual power, and wondered whether the unknown encoding might lead to something like Stigmata.

• Mo Yuan asked Amber to analyze Xie Xie's stored blood sample and examined its genetic sequences for anomalies.
• Amber found that unusual recurring fragments in Xie Xie's genome appeared more often in Beast Martial Soul holders than in Weapon Martial Soul holders.
• Mo Yuan hypothesized that Xie Xie carried an unexpressed hereditary fragment related to dragons and that Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King aura might help trigger its mutation.
• Mo Yuan discovered that Douluo Continent's people had more base pairs than ordinary humans, including soul-beast-derived genes that could respond to Soul Power.
• Mo Yuan recorded his hypothesis that Martial Souls were macroscopic products of hereditary information activated under specific conditions.
• Mo Yuan speculated that the unknown information encoding behind Martial Souls might lead to something similar to Stigmata.
