Chapter Summaries

Mo Yuan confronted Zang Xin over the Tang Sect supplying weapons to hostile military powers and refused to let him take Ling Zichen and the other researchers back. Zang Xin accepted Mo Yuan’s proposed cooperation, and Mo Yuan turned his attention to the Super Mutation Factor.

• Mo Yuan revealed that he knew the Tang Sect was supplying high-level Soul Tools to both sides of a conflict and warned Zang Xin not to bargain over Ling Zichen’s situation.
• Mo Yuan placed Judgement of Shamash on the desk to demonstrate his strength, then insisted that Ling Zichen and the other thirteen people would remain with him.
• Zang Xin agreed to cooperate, provided Mo Yuan guaranteed Ling Zichen’s safety and the Tang Sect could buy technical results for no more than seventy percent of market price.
• Zang Xin said the Tang Sect would draft an agreement and left without visiting Ling Zichen.
• Mo Yuan put away Judgement of Shamash, decided to strengthen his forces, and took out a file on the Technical Reliability Demonstration for the Super Mutation Factor.

Mo Yuan set aside plans to develop a Super Mutation Factor until he could better analyze the Golden Dragon King's blood and build a safer experimental setup. He completed a miniature spatial energy storage core, registered Anti-Entropy Technology, and planned to return to Aolai City before establishing a base in Eastsea City.

• Mo Yuan reviewed the risks of Super Mutation Factor technology and decided to postpone experiments until his analysis and equipment were more complete.
• Mo Yuan spent two weeks building a precise engraving device and completed the first Miniature Spatial Energy Storage Core.
• Mo Yuan gave the core to Chen Xinjie, who tested it and reported that its storage density and output stability surpassed existing models.
• Mo Yuan registered a company named Anti-Entropy Technology through the Federation corporate registration system.
• Mo Yuan planned to visit Aolai City and then establish his forces and base of operations in Eastsea City.

Wu Zhangkong gave Class Five a mysterious Soul Tool communication number and warned the students to consult their parents before calling it. After class, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie decided to investigate, while Gu Yuena wrestled with her urge to eat Tang Wulin and considered checking out the number herself.

• Wu Zhangkong wrote a Soul Tool communication number on the board and told students to report to him if they planned to call it.
• Xie Xie suggested Tang Wulin call the number because he needed money, and Tang Wulin agreed to try after school.
• Xie Xie teased Tang Wulin about Gu Yuena watching him, and Tang Wulin denied that she could be interested in him.
• Gu Yuena's voice in her mind warned her not to touch Tang Wulin, saying Big Brother had forbidden it.
• Gu Yuena asked about the mysterious number and suggested they go investigate it, and the voice in her mind did not stop her.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yuena decided to visit the mysterious Anti-Entropy Technology laboratory after receiving an unusual phone call. On their way to Building No. 9, Xie Xie revealed that it stood beside the Spirit Pagoda and was known with it as the Twin Towers.

• Wu Zhangkong allowed Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yuena to visit the place behind the phone number, but reminded them not to miss training and to tell their parents.
• Xie Xie called the number with Tang Wulin and Gu Yuena listening, and an automated voice directed them to Building No. 9 on Central Street at eight that night.
• Tang Wulin agreed to go, and Gu Yuena insisted on joining them.
• After dinner, Xie Xie told his family before the three walked toward Central Street; Tang Wulin chose not to tell his parents.
• Xie Xie explained that Building No. 9 stood beside the Spirit Pagoda in Building No. 8, and that the pair had once been called the Twin Towers.

Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yuena visited Anti-Entropy Technology and met its reception AI, A-01, which explained that the organization wanted collaborators for its leader’s research project. A-01 revealed that Tang Wulin’s debt was connected to the invitation, then displayed a task list for them to review.

• Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Gu Yuena entered Building 9 and followed A-01’s directions to a meeting room.
• A-01 introduced itself as the laboratory’s reception assistant and verified the three visitors’ identities.
• A-01 explained that Anti-Entropy Technology was seeking experimental subjects or researchers for the leader’s project.
• A-01 told Tang Wulin that the leader had anticipated his arrival and suggested he join the project if he wanted to repay his debt.
• Xie Xie asked what they needed to do, and A-01 projected a task list before them.

Mo Yuan went to the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda and bought its entire available Soul Spirit inventory after revealing he was a Level-9 Soul Engineer. After leaving, he noticed that a meeting at Anti-Entropy Technology was still underway and decided to go see who was there.

• Mo Yuan told a Level-4 deacon that he wanted to buy every Soul Spirit in the Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda, so the deacon went to fetch Lu Fengnian.
• Lu Fengnian met Mo Yuan and initially questioned whether a child could afford the purchase, but Mo Yuan showed him a badge identifying him as a Level-9 Soul Engineer.
• Lu Fengnian listed the available stock as thirteen Millennium, ninety-five Century, and four hundred eighty-six Ten-Year Soul Spirits, worth 285.02 million Federation Coins in total.
• Mo Yuan and Lu Fengnian agreed on the sale, completed the paperwork and payment arrangements, and Mo Yuan stored the Soul Spirit Balls in his Storage Soul Tool.
• Mo Yuan passed Nine Building, saw that people were still meeting at Anti-Entropy Technology, and decided to go see them after spotting a familiar yet strange figure on surveillance footage.

Mo Yuan reunited with Na'er, explained that Anti-Entropy Technology was his company, and invited Tang Wulin and Xie Xie to join an experiment aimed at improving cultivation for low-level Soul Masters and opening another path for ordinary people. After the two agreed and left, Mo Yuan asked Na'er whether he should call her Na'er or the Silver Dragon King.

• A-01 showed Gu Yuena, Tang Wulin, and Xie Xie advanced Soul Tools, leaving Gu Yuena eager to meet Anti-Entropy's leader.
• Mo Yuan arrived, stopped A-01's grand introduction, and sent it to move equipment to the laboratory.
• Na'er rushed into Mo Yuan's arms, and he explained that his family had adopted her as his younger sister.
• Mo Yuan told Tang Wulin and Xie Xie about his cultivation experiment and proposed cooperating with Eastsea Academy; both agreed to participate.
• 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.
• Gu Yuena accused Mo Yuan of causing Na'er's condition and threatened him, but he pointed a Judgement of Shamash at her and explained how his Fenghuang Down had interrupted her attempt to take control.
• Na'er took over and told Mo Yuan she had come to Eastsea City to see him instead of going to Shrek Academy.
• Gu Yuena regained control and challenged Mo Yuan's dismissal of Shrek, and he called the academy an outdated relic and declared himself the one leading the coming changes.

Mo Yuan confronted Gu Yuena with his knowledge of her identity and plans, then revealed why the God Realm had vanished and that Tang Wulin carried the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline. Gu Yuena left the conversation eager to seize that power and restore the Dragon God, while secretly vowing to punish Mo Yuan.

• Gu Yuena challenged Mo Yuan's claim that he knew her, but stopped when he formed a mimetic Fenghuang Down feather.
• Mo Yuan identified Gu Yuena as the Silver Dragon King and explained her origins, recovery, and plan to lead the Soul Beasts against humanity.
• Gu Yuena asked Mo Yuan why the God Realm had disappeared, and he made her plead before answering.
• Mo Yuan explained that Temporal Turbulence and conflicts among the God Kings had swept away the God Realm, while the Golden Dragon King had placed his Bloodline inside Tang San's newborn son.
• Mo Yuan confirmed that Tang Wulin was Tang San's son and carried the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline, and Gu Yuena resolved to seize it and make Mo Yuan pay.

Mo Yuan warned Gu Yuena that Tang San had left powerful protections on Douluo Star, then persuaded her to cooperate with him. He took her to his hidden underground laboratory, where he began analyzing Soul Spirits to develop a way to replace Soul Masters.

• Mo Yuan told Gu Yuena that Tang Hao and Ah Yin were Douluo Star’s Plane Lord and Life Core, and that Tang Wulin carried Tang San’s divine consciousness.
• Gu Yuena realized she could not obtain the Golden Dragon King’s power without risking a confrontation and agreed to cooperate with Mo Yuan.
• Mo Yuan brought Gu Yuena to the underground laboratory beneath Building No. 9 and introduced Amber, the AI overseeing the facility.
• Mo Yuan ordered Amber to analyze stored Artificial Soul Spirit samples, telling Gu Yuena he was studying how to replace Soul Masters.

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 Heavy 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.
