• Lin Xian sent Ye Fei stuffed dolls shaped like his little ones, and Ye Fei ate early and took them inside to sleep before the disaster began.

A new Snow Mountain disaster brought hot springs containing demon insect eggs, and Ye Fei assessed how they could spread and hatch. He destroyed the first hot spring with the Phoenix Tree’s precise flames and planned to search the rest of the mountain after daylight.

• Lu Heng warned Ye Fei that mutated creatures had appeared on the Grassland, and Ye Fei explained that his disaster involved demon insect eggs in hot springs.
• Ye Fei found a hot spring near his home and saw that it was growing and producing more eggs as it melted the snow.
• Ye Fei decided not to wait for more eggs, since the expanding hot spring could melt a much larger area.
• The Phoenix Tree shaped its flame into a claw, evaporated the hot spring, and destroyed its five eggs without melting the surrounding snow.
• Ye Fei returned home with Little Phoenix and planned to search for and destroy other hot springs the next day.

Ye Fei received rewards for destroying a hot spring and Demon Insect eggs, then discussed the Disaster Period and his defenses with Lingyan before cultivating. Feng An visited and revealed that someone had their eye on Ye Fei, while the Phoenix Tree suspected they meant him harm.

• Ye Fei received an Inventory Expansion Ticket for destroying a level 2 hot spring and materials for destroying five level 2 Demon Insect eggs.

• Feng An told the Phoenix Tree that someone had their eye on Ye Fei, but he would not interfere because he wanted to see how Ye Fei's choices unfolded.

Ye Fei took the little ones out into a blizzard to search for hot springs and found a cursed Demon Tomb Butterfly with its wings torn off. Little Phoenix ate it, burned away the curse, and earned Red Spirit Stones, while Ye Fei suspected Lin Mu had left it there to trap him.

• Ye Fei warned Eclipse Moon not to eat anything they found outside, then set out with the little ones while the Phoenix Tree guarded home.
• A blizzard obscured the surroundings, but Ye Fei's enchanted robe diverted the wind as the group followed Eclipse Moon toward a strange scent.
• Eclipse Moon led Ye Fei to a severely injured Demon Tomb Butterfly, and Ye Fei suspected Lin Mu had placed it there to make him suffer its curse.
• Little Phoenix burned the butterfly to death, ate it, and spat out a ball of fire that consumed the curse.
• The system awarded Ye Fei three Red Spirit Stones, and he realized Little Phoenix's God-level strength had made it immune to the lower-level curse.

Ye Fei searched for hot springs and removed a small one’s insect eggs and core water sphere while Jun Mo reported surviving the cold with layered courtyard walls. Outside Ye Fei’s home, Lin Mu recognized the Phoenix Tree as a Divine Phoenix Tree and left with Yang Cheng, wary of provoking the Cultivation Practitioner who lived there.

• Jun Mo told Ye Fei that he had survived the sudden cold by shrinking his yard and stacking twenty cold-resistant courtyard walls, and Ye Fei advised him to stay safe and cultivate.
• Ye Fei followed Eclipse Moon to a level 1 hot spring, pulled out its three Demon Insect Eggs and core water sphere, and Little Phoenix burned the eggs.
• The hot spring froze over after Ye Fei removed its core, and he collected one water essence and three Beast Essence Stones before setting off for the next location.
• Lin Mu and Yang Cheng stopped outside Ye Fei’s home, where Lin Mu recognized the towering Phoenix Tree as an adult Divine Phoenix Tree and feared the powerful beings associated with it.
• Lin Mu decided not to risk confronting the home’s Cultivation Practitioner and left with Yang Cheng, intending to deal with Lin Che instead.

Ye Fei learned that Lin Mu had visited his home with Yang Cheng, then discovered Lin Mu’s sudden growth in power came from inheriting the origin of a Demon Clan member Feng An had killed. Feng An admitted he had inadvertently helped create a powerful enemy, but Lin Mu still did not know Ye Fei was the person on the Mountain Peak.

• Ye Fei used the Phoenix Tree’s account to learn that Yang Cheng had brought Lin Mu to see the supposed cultivation big shot, but Lin Mu had fled after the tree frightened him.
• Ye Fei learned from the Phoenix Tree that Lin Mu’s combat power was close to Little Phoenix’s and asked Lingyan how a human could become a member of the Demon Clan.
• Lingyan explained that a human could transform by inheriting a Demon Clan member’s origin power or by cultivating a demon soul after reaching Heavenly Demon level.
• Ye Fei asked Feng An whether he had killed a Demon Clan member nearby, and Feng An recalled tossing one into his Artifact Refining Furnace as materials.
• Feng An realized that the dead Demon Clan member’s origin had helped Lin Mu become a full demon and rapidly grow stronger, then told Ye Fei he had cultivated an enemy for him.
• Ye Fei noted that Lin Mu still did not know he was the person on the Mountain Peak, while Feng An left to watch events elsewhere.

Ye Fei received a large haul of high-quality seafood from Long Heng, who had spent the day clearing his island of sea monsters during his Disaster Phase. After resting and reading Feng An’s messages, Long Heng reconsidered his view of Ye Fei as a weak, naive human.

• Ye Fei reassured Little Fox that their household had enough food despite finding no prey on their outing.
• Long Heng told Ye Fei that seafood monsters had swarmed his island and sent him the ingredients he had collected after clearing them all day.
• Ye Fei accepted Long Heng’s mostly purple-quality seafood and suggested he use special tools to process prey.
• Long Heng admitted he was hungry, then rested and read Feng An’s messages about humans scheming against one another.
• Long Heng decided Ye Fei might not be weak after all, since Feng An had not managed to trap him.

After feeding Long Heng, Ye Fei settled in for the evening while the little ones went to cultivate. A blood-red danger marker appeared outside his home, and Ye Fei kept everyone inside, unaware that a large, whiskered head had approached the courtyard wall.

• Ye Fei gave Long Heng crab roe buns and other seafood ingredients, and Long Heng ate before resting to recover his soul.
• Ye Fei served dinner to the little ones, who then went to cultivate while Little Phoenix showed interest in going outside.
• Ye Fei saw an enormous red danger marker beyond the gate and told Little Phoenix and the Flame Tree Leaf to stay inside and leave the observer alone.
• Ye Fei resumed cultivating as the danger marker lingered outside, and a large, whiskered head approached the wall without triggering the protective alarm.

Ye Fei learned that Feng An had dealt with the True Dragon that approached Little Phoenix and given its dragon pearl to Long Heng. Long Heng evolved into the Dragon Race, while Ye Fei realized Feng An had lied about the power of his dragon form.

• Ye Fei soothed Little Phoenix after the Phoenix Tree showed that a True Dragon had approached the courtyard, and learned that Feng An's true form was far larger than the snake he had seen.
• Ye Fei decided to stop wondering about Feng An's size and planned to eat breakfast before searching for a hot spring.
• Long Heng messaged Ye Fei that Feng An had given him a gift, and Ye Fei guessed it was the True Dragon's pearl.
• Ye Fei saw that absorbing the dragon pearl had advanced Long Heng from the Pseudo-Dragon Race to the Dragon Race and repaired his Dragon Soul.
• Ye Fei compared Long Heng's increased power with Feng An's claims and concluded that Feng An had lied about his dragon form's strength.

Ye Fei encountered Lin Xian while heading out with Feng Bai, then rushed to investigate what Eclipse Moon and Phantom Spirit had found. There he discovered Jun Mo from Iceberg buried in the snow, and brought the crying boy and his bundles home.

• Ye Fei explained to Lin Xian that Feng Bai had grown larger to carry him through the snow.
• Ye Fei and Lin Xian discussed Yang Cheng, who had stopped contacting Lin Xian after he declined to move with him.
• Little Fox spotted something ahead, so Ye Fei ran over with Lin Xian following behind.
• Ye Fei found Jun Mo pinned beneath Big Dog's paw and pulled him from the snow.
• Jun Mo complained that Big Dog had stomped and tried to bury him, so Ye Fei picked up his bundles and took him home.

Ye Fei brought Jun Mo and his creatures home, where Jun Mo met Phoenix Perch after boasting that he would chop the tree. Ye Fei handed him an Iron Axe, leaving Jun Mo to face the tree he had hoped to avoid provoking.

• Lin Xian said goodbye to Ye Fei and left while Ye Fei carried Jun Mo and two heavy bundles home.

• Ye Fei brought Jun Mo to Phoenix Perch and told the tree that Jun Mo had threatened to chop it.
• Ye Fei gave Jun Mo an Iron Axe and warned that he would eventually have to chop Phoenix Perch.

Jun Mo arrived on Snow Mountain after a strange elemental storm swept him and his companions away from Iceberg. Ye Fei agreed to shelter Lingxu while Jun Mo built a home nearby and warned him about local hazards and players.

After Feng An teased Jun Mo about his unusual way of feeding his cat and fish, he encouraged him to settle in the Snow Mountain area, leaving the animals wary of Feng An’s interest in their household.

• Ye Fei told Jun Mo that players could build separate Homesteads and walk away from relatives, while Jun Mo said people might stay tangled together because of their own moral restrictions.
• Feng An arrived and asked Ye Fei why Lin Che’s maternal grandfather had slapped his daughter shortly before dying.

• Feng An noticed Jun Mo hiding beneath the table and learned that he raised a cat and a fish using a similar feeding method.
• Feng An encouraged Jun Mo to settle in the Snow Mountain area and ask Ye Fei for advice, while the cat and jiaoren shivered at Feng An’s attention.

Ye Fei helped Jun Mo build a house for Lingxiao, who revealed through its reactions that the cramped home had been bothering it. Ye Fei mentioned that the Phoenix Tree had also endured a lack of space, leaving Lingxiao comforted that it was not the only one that had put up with so much.

• Ye Fei led Jun Mo away from his home and reassured him that Feng An was dangerous only if Jun Mo looked at him or bothered him.

• Jun Mo brought Lingxiao upstairs to help redesign the interior, while Ye Fei watched as Lingxiao endured his questions and handling.
• Ye Fei told Jun Mo that the Phoenix Tree had once lacked room to grow, and Lingxiao perked up at the thought that another of Ye Fei’s companions had endured a similar problem.

Ye Fei searched the snowy mountains with his companions for hot springs and demon insect eggs, destroying the eggs they found. After locating a hot spring in the direction the ants had attacked from, he sent Fire Dance to scout ahead and waited for the phoenix to return.

• Jun Mo and Big Cat headed out to search near their new home while Ye Fei went in another direction with his companions.
• Ye Fei found a hot spring and had Little Phoenix burn away the demon insect eggs there.
• Ye Fei considered investigating the direction the ants had come from and allowed Fire Dance to scout ahead, warning the phoenix not to fly too far.
• Little Fox asked Ye Fei whether he preferred her small or large form, and he told her to choose whichever form suited her best.
• Fire Dance returned from scouting and landed on Ye Fei's shoulder.

Ye Fei and his companions found a cave with an abnormally hot spring where Demon Insects had already hatched and attacked players. Yang Cheng warned him about the nest and revealed that he had brought Lin Mu to Ye Fei’s home; Yang Cheng had also asked Lin Mu for help, setting up their likely reunion.

• Fire Dance and Little Fox led Ye Fei to a cave where many players had gathered near an ant nest.
• Ye Fei found Yang Cheng among the players and learned that Demon Insects had controlled and killed two people near the entrance.

• Yang Cheng revealed that he had messaged Lin Mu for help, and Lin Mu was likely on his way.

As Ye Fei headed home, he reflected on Lin Mu’s Dark Phoenix cultivation and how humans could avoid bloodline suppression by becoming half-demons.
