Feng Yue challenged Chen Luo and was captured after he used his spatial ability to bring her back. Chen Luo took her purple shoes, discovered they increased speed, and let Zhao Ziyi try them; she briefly flew before falling and hurting her nose.
Chen Luo learned that a sea turtle had seen a round object matching the scent of the missing armor piece on a distant continent, then returned to the Courtyard with Zhao Ziyi and Feng Yue. Rice divined that Chen Luo was about to reach a turning point of fate.
Chen Luo decided to search for the Helmet despite Rice warning that his actions could have a tremendous impact, though she confirmed he would face no danger within the next month. He reached the beach where the Giant Sea Turtle had found the armor piece and began searching, but the turtles had found nothing after two hours.
Chen Luo found a damaged purple helmet with a gemstone that spoke in the monsters’ language, and he feared activating it had brought their arrival closer. Rice foresaw a disaster in about a year, and Chen Luo resolved to prepare and face the monsters rather than flee.
Chen Luo punished Feng Yue after she mistreated Ningshuang, then learned that Ningshuang’s unusual growth came from a mysterious bead and that she had lived in the sea long before doomsday. The chapter left Chen Luo preparing to travel across other continents to gather crystals and grow stronger.
Chen Luo recruited sea creatures to transport his members, helped Giant Sea Turtle advance, and gave Mi Ling Li Huo’s crystal. The chapter ended with Mi Ling warning him that foreigners who looked like spies had been arriving.
Chen Luo ordered Dawn City to prepare to leave for the Other Continents while planning to let the Oilheads and Brown Bears come to Dragon Nation. Before departing, he overheard Wan Jiangui recruit Mu Hong into a plot against Dawn City and the Zombie Emperor, leaving him angry at his little brother.
Wan Jiangui and Shi Gaoyang gathered powerful leaders to persuade the Zombie Emperor to attack Dawn City, unaware that Big Strong served Chen Luo. At the riverbank, Big Strong attacked the group, leaving Wan Jiangui insisting to himself that they were on the same side.
Big Strong and Wan Jiangui fought Mu Hong and the others, who tried to kill the Zombie Emperor after learning Wan Jiangui had joined his side. Chen Luo revealed himself as Big Strong’s boss, then recruited Shi Gaoyang, who recognized that Chen Luo planned to exploit his summoning ability.
Chen Luo returned to the base with Shi Gaoyang and prepared to move the group to the Kangaroo Continent. After reaching level ten, Silver Bell opened a strange spatial passage that Chen Luo suspected could enable teleportation.
Silver Bell discovered that she could create spatial teleportation passages, and Chen Luo learned to make them as well after testing their limits. On the way back from their experiments, Chen Luo suspected that a powerful hidden being had used spatial passages to bring the monsters to the planet.
Chen Luo relocated his people and seafood allies to the coast, dealt with Feng Yue and Shi Gaoyang, and set out with a small group to explore the Kangaroo Continent. He arrived ahead of the rest and encountered a giant kangaroo that ordered him to leave.
Chen Luo fought a King Rank giant kangaroo and used the battle to develop Time Flow Slowdown, turning the tables on his opponent. He offered the defeated kangaroo a choice between joining him and being kicked to death.
Chen Luo subdued a giant kangaroo on the Kangaroo Continent and learned that mysterious meat had made it powerful, though two of its companions had died after eating it. He recovered the meat from their buried remains, and Rice warned that eating it would harm Chen Luo more than help him but could greatly benefit Puppy and especially Sea Ji.
Chen Luo moved Dawn City’s members and their families to the Kangaroo Continent, then planned to enter seclusion to develop his abilities. The chapter ended with Rice mistaking Chen Luo’s request for quiet, “jingjing,” as the name Jingjing.
Chen Luo refined his plans for improving his space and time abilities while his allies grew stronger and Ma Yu discovered how to make mutant rabbit meat taste good. The chapter ended with Little Mantou falsely accusing Wan Jiangui of groping him.
Nature members planted black leaves on the Kangaroo Continent, then two teams were lured into the grasp of a giant mutated tree that devoured dozens of them. Mi Ling learned of the attack and ordered everyone to stay away from the tree.
Chen Luo went to confront a giant tree that had captured and killed members of Dawn City, rescuing the survivors after cutting the tree nearly in half. He discovered that the tree’s fruit strengthened his crystal, so he left it alive for now and planned to use its fruit before killing it.
Chen Luo discovered that the Giant Tree grew fruit by devouring creatures and tested its ability with King Rank corpses. After feeding it three corpses, he harvested a fruit that pushed the tree to the limit of its current abilities.
Chen Luo struck a deal with the giant tree to exchange corpses for fruit and sent a team to Europe to gather more. After Dharma King reached King Rank and took human form, he changed back into a dog when he saw the other dogs watching him.
Three thousand members reached the Lotus Continent and split into groups to hunt zombies. Xia Haoran’s squad clashed with a much larger band of foreign survivors, who fled after the Dragon Nation members overwhelmed them.
Xiong Wenhui led her team in killing a level-ten mutant, while Chen Luo tested whether time acceleration could help the Giant Tree digest zombie corpses. At the base, Dharma King prepared to challenge Sea Ji over the 3,585 points she had stolen from him.
Dharma King challenged Sea Ji to a duel, and their battle escalated as she countered his speed with darkness and mental attacks while draining his esper energy. Dharma King unleashed Thunderstorm, forcing everyone to flee, and Sea Ji answered with Darkness Devour as the fight reached its climax.
Chen Luo returned to find Sea Ji and Dharma King injured after fighting over Dog’s stolen points, while Long Yu tested an upgraded Titanium Alloy Dog Eye that improved Dharma King’s attacks but could not channel his strongest abilities. Chen Luo used Time Acceleration and crystals to advance Long Yu to King Rank, leaving him as the second human King Rank and directing him to develop Dharma King’s weapon and research Space weapons.
Chen Luo considered advancing the Mis and helped Long Yu train, while a Giant Sea Turtle summoned its Vertical River Turtle cousin to report to the Sea King. The Vertical River Turtle agreed to aid the Great Prophet’s planned invasion of the Dragon Nation before preparing treasures for its audience with the Sea King.
