Bai Yaoyao hired Qian Ming after hearing his research on potential shops, then planned to inspect the Xie Family's properties and challenge the Combat Power Rankings. Before she and her companions could leave, Meng Qilin and Xie Shannan arrived.
Bai Yaoyao told Meng Qilin and Xie Shannan about the authorities’ human experimentation and the Ji Family, then went with her companions to the western slums to look for Wang Fugui and Wang Yuanbao. A child returned bruised and unable to bring them because they were being beaten.
Bai Yaoyao’s group rescued Wang Fugui and Wang Yuanbao from Jing Tian Yiye’s men, and the father and son agreed to work for her. The group then headed to the Dueling Arena, where Bai Yaoyao explained its ranking system.
Bai Yaoyao brought Dark Night to the Dueling Arena at the end of the month, where the team registered as twelve level-six ability users. She began competing in the preliminary rings and quickly showed that her opponents were no match for her.
Bai Yaoyao and Lulu dominated the arena, then watched their companions fight and encountered Zhao Ruijie, whom Bai Yaoyao secretly helped with a level-six crystal core. At the arena, Bai Yaoyao learned about the powerful Bai Jin'an and accepted his invitation to fight, leaving the challenge about to begin.
Bai Yaoyao challenged Bai Jin'an at the Dueling Arena and defeated him decisively, leaving him impressed by her strength. Xie Shannan then took the platform for his long-awaited match with her, while A-Dai eagerly claimed the next bout.
A-Dai defeated Xie Shannan, and Lulu defeated Chen Yixuan in duels arranged by Bai Yaoyao. After Dark Night’s fighters won, representatives from the base’s families gathered outside the arena hoping to recruit them.
Dark Night’s members swept the Dueling Arena’s top rankings, and Bai Yaoyao then challenged A-Dai in a brutal teammate-versus-teammate duel. As Bai Jin'an and Bai Qingqing recognized something familiar about Bai Yaoyao and summoned Bai Zongyu, A-Dai traded injury for injury to keep the fight going.
Bai Zongyu saw Bai Yaoyao fight and believed she was the daughter the Bai Family had lost twenty-one years earlier. Bai Yaoyao delayed facing the family reunion while Dark Night continued its brutal sparring, then left with the team.
After Dark Night dominated the Dueling Arena, Bai Yaoyao rejected attempts to recruit the team and led them away, reassuring her companions that they should focus on becoming stronger. Back at Dark Night’s house, Wang Yuanbao and Wang Fugui waited outside while Bai Yaoyao, distracted by the three people following them, prepared herself for what came next.
Bai Zongyu and the Bai Family visited Bai Yaoyao, revealing that they had believed she died as a baby after hospital records were tampered with. Bai Yaoyao declined to dwell on the past or forgive them, and the Bai Family left while Dark Night stayed with her.
Bai Yaoyao comforted Dark Night and welcomed Wang Yuanbao and Wang Fugui into plans for a base shop, then tested how many people she could bring into her space. A three-day lockdown and sweeping arrests began at the Main Base, while Meng Qilin hinted at the authorities’ investigation.
Dark Night visited the Dueling Arena to collect the rewards after taking all twelve top rankings, but Bai Yaoyao rejected Team Leader Wei Yan’s dismissive treatment and led the team away. Their departure sparked rumors that the authorities were withholding the rewards, and Wei Yan rushed to call them back as the crowd blamed him.
After the authorities' staff mistreated Dark Night, Chen Yixuan visited Bai Yaoyao to deliver the group's Dueling Arena rewards and apologize. He hinted that Murong Xixi might be released the next day, leaving Bai Yaoyao hopeful about her friend.
Bai Yaoyao exhausted her special ability bringing everyone into her space, then decided to take the group out to hunt. Before leaving, she gave her staff Body Evolution Serum and watched them begin taking it.
Bai Yaoyao gave serum to Chen Jing and her child, then traded refreshments for places at the base exit before leading Dark Night out to hunt. The group enthusiastically hunted down a level-six zombie while Bai Yaoyao filmed them.
Wolf Mom agreed to bring her pack to Bai Yaoyao’s group, and they hurried to her mountain after learning it was threatened by a Level 7 python. They arrived to find dead wolves and snakes as Wolf Mom fought the python, and Bai Yaoyao joined the battle.
Bai Yaoyao and the wolves defeated the Mutant Python and drove off the Snake Brothers, though the Mutant Wolves suffered heavy losses. After helping treat the wounded, Bai Yaoyao noticed the ground beneath them was hollow and returned with Wolf Mom before investigating.
Bai Yaoyao welcomed Wolf Mom’s pack into her group and refused to abandon six injured or elderly wolves. After learning that humans had blasted an opening into the mountain and were operating underground, she brought the wolves into her space in batches and collapsed from exhaustion.
Bai Yaoyao found the hidden entrance to an underground human experimentation facility and captured a worker from R Country. After waking him in her space, she confronted him about the God-Making Plan, leaving him terrified that the plan had been exposed.
Bai Yaoyao found the laboratory where the God-Making Plan was underway and encountered a badly injured little girl while hiding from a group of Level Six Ability Users. She left through an alternate exit after promising to return, while the girl revealed a cold expression once she was alone.
Bai Yaoyao and Lulu attacked the underground facility’s central laboratory, where researchers were experimenting on humans, zombies, and mutant beasts. After they fought off the facility’s forces, the little girl decided Bai Yaoyao would make a valuable test subject.
Bai Yaoyao discovered that the laboratory had created mutant beasts and zombies that would threaten humanity in the future, and she decided to expose the experiments to the Authorities. She returned with a group to confront the missing little girl, who had gone to awaken Experiment Subject No. 1.
Bai Yaoyao and her team found Ji Wumeng, who pretended to be a frightened child while testing their reactions. She agreed to go with them to the laboratory, secretly planning to use the soldiers for her experiments and awaken Experiment Subject One.
Bai Yaoyao exposed Ji Wumeng’s plan to inject the Serum into Experiment Subject No. 1, and Ji Wumeng’s attempt to seize power ended in disaster. The zombie attacked her instead, leaving her gravely injured and screaming.
