Lu Ran returned to the Yan Emperor Family, became an Imperial Heir, and was taken as the Cloud Emperor’s disciple.

As their team grew stronger, Lu Ran worried that the phantom Six Path Flower might not truly remain herself after the Secret Realm ended.

• Six Path Flower sent Lu Ran and the others into Tongue-Pulling Hell, but Dark Crow, General Ha, and Sudden Death King treated the torture as ordinary training, while Lu Ran tried to redirect her attention to Sword Spirit and Sword Grass.
• Several days later, Lu Ran received gifts from beast-taming families and inherited Yan Sizhen's recipes and forging blueprints, while Six Path Flower continued to develop his team's potential through painful trials.

Lu Ran and Six Path Flower destroyed the Feather-Demon Empire and the other three Fierce Beast Empires, while Lu Ran used their slaughter to strengthen his own combat power.

• Trial Takers from Blue Star and the Star-Moon Federation connected Yan Lu’s Flame Spirit and identity to Lu Ran, with the Federation group shocked that a Level Four Beast Tamer could accomplish so much.
• Lu Ran continued hunting Fierce Beasts above level 70 with Six Path Flower and used the evil accumulated from the slaughter to strengthen his skills.
• Lu Ran said he was ready to return and hoped to take part in a Legendary incident, while Six Path Flower pointed out that his strength still fell far short of matching a Legendary.

As he gathered resources and studied Time Acceleration, Six Path Flower sensed a Legendary-level being approaching just as the Secret Realm neared its end.

• Six Path Flower sensed a Legendary-level being approaching the Empire and feared it had come because of them, while Lu Ran realized the Secret Realm was about to end.

The War God, a Legendary Tiger Deity, arrived in Imperial Beast City seeking Six Path Flower, whom it called a rule breaker. Lu Ran confronted it as the Divine Deer Envoy and invoked the Four Great Creation Divine Dragons, leaving the city’s fate uncertain as he offered to summon the Divine Deer’s projection.

• The War God tore open a Spatial Rift above Imperial Beast City, and its aura knocked most of the city’s population unconscious.
• Lu Ran sent Six Path Flower into his Temporary Contract Space and looted the National Treasury while wearing the Divine Deer’s broken antler.

• The War God’s pressure overwhelmed Six Path Flower’s Deva Path Pressure and severely wounded Lu Ran.
• Lu Ran claimed the Four Great Creation Divine Dragons had directed his actions and offered to summon a projection of the Divine Deer to speak with the War God.

Lu Ran ended the breakthrough secret realm by revealing it was an illusory projection, then returned to Blue Star badly injured with a Six Path Flower Egg. After learning about the Star-Moon Federation’s Legendary Secret Realms, he planned to challenge one there using a new identity and his newly contracted Pet Beast.

• Lu Ran failed to contact the Divine Deer but claimed the Time Dragon and Space Dragon had ordered the world destroyed, and their power froze the Tiger God and shattered the illusory realm.

• Lu Ran told Shi Zhen that he had found a way to lift the curse and asked whether she still wanted it lifted.

His arrival in Infinite City in a wheelchair drew attention as he headed toward the South American Secret Realm.

• Manager Ying brought Lu Ran a Natural Disaster Trait Crystal, and they agreed that Cloudy would fuse with it and evolve during the First-Stage Evolution Secret Realm.

Meanwhile, Manager Ying’s clone arrived in the Star-Moon World and met the Pine God, who said the clone’s safe passage through the teleportation array defied a world rule.

• Lu Ran considered his new rewards, deciding to keep the Space-Time Worm Egg for Six Path Flower and weighing Space-Time Concealment and Future Prediction for his Pet Beasts.

• Manager Ying asked Lu Ran to investigate why the elemental gods had opposed the Divine Dragons, and Lu Ran rested at home with Cloudy while his other Pet Beasts recovered or attended to their duties.
• Manager Ying sent its clone through a Cross-World Teleportation Array as an advance scout, and the clone arrived at an underground altar in the Star-Moon World.
• The Pine God identified itself as the Space Dragon’s Familiar and was astonished that Manager Ying’s clone had survived spatial teleportation, then asked whether it knew how life-forms from the blue planet and Star-Moon World were connected.

Manager Ying received permission from the Pine God to enter the Star-Moon World and learned that the Divine Deer was unavailable because its main body was sealing a Legendary Creature. Back on Blue Star, Lu Ran tried to help Cloudy comprehend the Kunpeng Conception and asked Principal Shi Zhen to trade Lu Ran’s abundant resources for exquisite Enhancement Cards.

• Manager Ying explained his ties to the Divine Deer, and the Pine God allowed him to enter the Star-Moon World but said its main body was maintaining a seal on a mad Legendary Creature.
• Manager Ying decided to explore the Star-Moon World for a few days before reporting back, then emerged into a vast forest.
• Lu Ran considered delaying Cloudy’s evolution until it comprehended the Kunpeng Conception, but three exquisite Clear Spirit Fruits still did not achieve that goal.
• Lu Ran called Principal Shi Zhen and asked him to buy exquisite Enhancement Cards without limit, offering resources and an Epic-level feather in exchange.
• Shi Zhen was astonished by Lu Ran’s wealth, and Lu Ran offered to donate resources and pet beasts to Beast Taming University to support poor students.

Cloudy succeeded, revealing its immense new speed and power, and Lu Ran looked ahead to using its future Overlord evolution to search for the Divine Deer.

• Lu Ran praised Cloudy and said its eventual Overlord evolution would help him search for the Divine Deer, while Manager Ying objected to Cloudy transforming into her and getting petted.

As the First-Stage Evolution Secret Realm reopened, Lu Ran met Divine Eagle’s new president, Modifier Aube, who challenged him to a contest between mechanical and necromancy Beast Tamers. Lu Ran accepted after adding an epic resource to the prize, and he left himself time to assemble Xia Country’s team.

• Lu Ran discussed the upcoming secret realm with Manager Ying, who warned him that Aube’s new pet was already a High Monarch species.
• Aube reviewed Lu Ran’s achievements and decided the two of them should meet.
• Lu Ran arrived at the Evolution Secret Realm in a wheelchair, pushed by Sudden Death King, and summoned Cloudy while he waited.
• Aube proposed a best-of-three contest between three Fourth-Generation Beast Tamers from each country, offering mechanical knowledge in exchange for a method of making harmless necromancy food.
• Lu Ran rejected the original terms, then accepted after Aube added an epic resource to the prize.
• Lu Ran reserved the right to choose when the contest would take place and considered potential Xia Country candidates with Undead Pet Beasts.

Lu Ran used Cloudy's Kun Conception, Time Acceleration, and a vast store of resources to seize the Evolution Secret Realm’s energy and evolve the Weather Spirit into a High Overlord Disaster Spirit. The transformation left the other Beast Tamers with too little energy to evolve, while Aube abandoned his own attempt and watched Lu Ran’s dominance grow.

• Lu Ran decided to strengthen Master Jiang Dou with resources instead of raising another undead, and he agreed to Aube’s wager over their respective attributes.
• Aube showed his friend his modified mechanical turtle and explained that it could unleash an Overlord-level attack, while Lu Ran prepared Cloudy with numerous resources.
• Lu Ran used Death Crow’s possession and Time Acceleration as Cloudy took the form of a giant Kun and devoured the erupting evolution energy.
• Cloudy monopolized the Evolution Blessing and evolved from a Mid-level Monarch into a level 50 High Overlord Species called Disaster Spirit, gaining the Calamity Devourer talent.
• Lu Ran expressed mild disappointment that Cloudy had not reached Quasi-Legendary, while Aube gave up on evolving his pet because the remaining energy was too thin.
