Chen Lin learned that the awakening Giant Turtle was a juvenile Spirit-Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Beast that had drained Blue Star’s spiritual energy eight hundred years ago. After it trapped Chen Lin and his companions above the Pacific, he used the Mountains and Rivers Painting to distract it and escaped in the Heavenly Shuttle.

• Chen Lin used the brief opening to force the Heavenly Shuttle through a spatial jump, escaping to the East China Sea Defense Line.

After escaping the Spirit-Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Beast, Chen Lin learned it would digest its prey for a month before seeking more spiritual energy. He warned the nation to evacuate the beast’s likely routes and returned to Chen Family Village to prepare for the coming battle.

As Huaxia evacuated the confirmed path of a colossal supernatural creature, Chen Lin found two Nascent Soul Fruits in the Myriad Worlds Garbage Transfer Station. Facing a deadline of twenty-nine days, he announced that he would attempt to break through to Nascent Soul.

• Chen Lin revealed the Nascent Soul Fruits and explained that he needed a Nascent Soul to make better use of the Mountains and Rivers Painting.

Chen Lin broke through to early Nascent Soul just as the Spirit-Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Beast reached Chen Family Village. He trapped the beast inside the Mountains and Rivers Painting, but the artifact began to crack, leaving its fate uncertain.

• After thirty days of cultivation, Chen Lin broke through to early Nascent Soul and his divine sense expanded to thirty thousand meters.
• The Spirit-Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Beast reached Chen Family Village and shattered the Sun-Covering Cloudmist Formation with its suction.
• Chen Lin used the Mountains and Rivers Painting to block the beast and pull it inside the scroll.
• The beast disappeared into the painting, but the artifact trembled and developed a spreading crack.

Chen Lin tried to contain the Heaven-Devouring Beast after it drained the Mountains and Rivers Painting, then carried the failing treasure into the Myriad Worlds Garbage Transfer Station at midnight. He severed his connection to the painting and hurled it into the garbage pile as the station’s purge began.

• The Heaven-Devouring Beast devoured the painting’s spiritual vein, and Chen Lin ordered Yun Sheng, Heavenly Hatred, and Changqingzi to seal off Chen Family Village’s Back Hill until midnight.
• As the painting’s spatial barrier collapsed, Chen Lin used his Nascent Soul magical power to hold it together until midnight and entered the Myriad Worlds Garbage Transfer Station.
• Chen Lin searched the weekly garbage drop but found only mid-grade spirit stones, weakened pills, and mostly worthless remnants.
• When the beast began breaking through the painting, Chen Lin severed his divine soul imprint and threw the failing treasure into the garbage pile beneath the purge rift.

Chen Lin used the Myriad Worlds Garbage Transfer Station’s rules to send the Heaven-Swallowing Beast and the Mountains and Rivers Painting into a void rift, averting Earth’s destruction at the cost of the spirit treasure. The crisis ended, and Huaxia’s evacuated population learned that the danger had passed.

• Chen Lin’s Transfer Station rules crushed the Heaven-Swallowing Beast’s devouring law and dragged it and the shattered Mountains and Rivers Painting into the void rift.

• The Grand Elder’s directive stopped the air raid sirens, and Huaxia’s 1.4 billion people celebrated the end of the world-ending crisis.

After the crisis ended, Chen Lin used a trove of spirit stones to address the loss of the Mountains and Rivers Painting, but his divine sense was badly injured. Song Qiuya asked Yun Sheng to help repair his sea of consciousness, leaving Yun Sheng embarrassed and uncertain.

• Sea King Kunpeng sensed that the Spirit-Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Beast had vanished and ordered the Sea Tribe to seal the Mariana Trench and avoid the Shenzhou continental shelf for a hundred years.

• Yun Sheng recalled previously offering Chen Lin her primal yin and hesitated to help him again now that the crisis had passed.

• Song Qiuya persuaded Yun Sheng that helping Chen Lin would repay his kindness and protect Chen Family Village’s future.
• Chen Lin tried to recover from his damaged Divine Sense with Essence-Returning Pills, but they did little to help.

Changqingzi reported that spiritual energy was returning through Blue Star’s earth veins, prompting Chen Lin to prepare his people for the dangers and opportunities ahead. Six months later, mutated creatures were appearing across the world, while Chen Lin, Yun Sheng, Changqingzi, and the other women had advanced their cultivation.

Chen Lin took Song Qiuya, Qin Chuxia, Qin Churan, Zhang Ruoxi, and Li Xiaoyue to Magic City to fight a beast tide threatening the city. After the five women turned the battle in the defenders’ favor, black clouds and a dreadful presence approached from central Magic City.

• General Zhao received a report that a flying horned snake had smashed an armored vehicle and was heading toward Magic City.
• Chen Lin brought the five women aboard the Heavenly Shuttle and ordered Yun Sheng to guard the Song-Style Courtyard House.
• The five women landed at the Jiading District defense line and began fighting the beast tide without Battle Puppets.
• Qin Chuxia, Qin Churan, Song Qiuya, Li Xiaoyue, and Zhang Ruoxi worked together to slaughter the attacking beasts and push the front forward nearly a kilometer.
• Black clouds gathered over the city, and the beast tide stopped to tremble as a terrifying presence swept in from central Magic City.

Chen Lin watched Song Qiuya and the other four women fight an early core formation False Flood Dragon in Magic City, intervening only when they were in danger. The women wounded the beast and slowed it, but the battle was still underway.

• The False Flood Dragon attacked the five women with poisonous breath and a sweeping tail, and Chen Lin ordered them to form up rather than rescue them himself.
• Li Xiaoyue's stacked shields bought the women time as Zhang Ruoxi charged the beast and Qin Churan and Qin Chuxia attacked its eyes.
• Qin Churan knocked Zhang Ruoxi out of the False Flood Dragon's bite, and Song Qiuya pierced the beast's unprotected mouth with a sword gleam.
• Zhang Ruoxi struck the False Flood Dragon's jaw with her awakened strength, sending it crashing into the ground.
• The False Flood Dragon fired lightning at Qin Chuxia, but Li Xiaoyue's shields held long enough for Qin Chuxia to detonate a flaming spear inside its belly.
• Qin Churan and Zhang Ruoxi continued cutting the False Flood Dragon with sword qi, accumulating wounds and slowing its movements.

Chen Lin’s five Foundation Establishment companions killed the False Flood Dragon defending Magic City, and Chen Lin gave the city’s forces cultivation manuals and flying swords. As the beast tide retreated, he warned that even greater trouble was coming.

• Chen Lin gave Li Jianye a Storage Bag containing one hundred basic cultivation manuals and thirty thousand magical artifact flying swords, and told him to prepare for greater trouble.

Huaxia overhauled its education system to train cultivators and built a powerful defense as demon beasts devastated other countries. Ye Wenjun used the West’s desperation to secure cultivation methods for Huaxia’s allies and major resource concessions from Western nations.

• After reviewing footage of Advisor Chen’s gifts and the women fighting a Core Formation False Flood Dragon, the old man ordered the Hidden Dragon Plan and a national education overhaul.

• Huaxia gained development rights to more than seventy percent of the world’s core resources and mysterious ruins.

Chen Lin discovered that the rapidly appearing Core Formation beast kings were artificially created False Cores, and traced the scheme to Kunlun. He concluded that Di Shisan was exploiting the nonaggression pact to exhaust humanity and asked what to do next.

• Chen Lin examined the Magic City False Flood Dragon’s Demon Core and questioned how it could have formed so quickly despite weakened spiritual energy.

• Chen Lin connected the method and worldwide beast-king attacks to Kunlun, concluding that Di Shisan was using the loophole in the pact.

After three hundred Nascent Soul Battle Puppets shattered the Ancient Demon Formation, Di Shisan faced Chen Lin's threat of slaughter, with the chapter ending in a tense standoff.

• Chen Lin took Heavenly Hatred True Lord, Changqingzi, Yun Sheng, and Star Moon Demon Saint aboard the Heavenly Shuttle to Death Valley.
