Chapter Summaries

Su Ping tested whether five differently attributed Paper-Folding Men could form a Five Elements Paper Diagram, and the experiment succeeded, revealing its abilities and limitations. As he considered how to improve it, Uncle Guan reported that the Zhang Brothers had arrived to see him.

• Su Ping learned that the Fire-Eating Crow had flown east, then returned to his underground breeding site to work with Qianyi and the Paper-Folding Men.
• Su Ping had five ordinary Paper-Folding Men attempt to assemble into a Five Elements Formation Diagram, but their energies repelled one another and sent them flying.
• Su Ping prepared fifteen more Paper-Folding Men, evolved them into five-element attributes, and had five matching Elite Tier One figures assemble again.
• The five-element group successfully formed a Five Elements Paper Diagram with two exclusive skills, though Su Ping found that its energy conversions wasted power.
• Uncle Guan told Su Ping that the Zhang Brothers had arrived, and Su Ping decided he could ask them about the Five Elements Formation Diagram and its ancient writing.

Su Ping discovered that Xue Hongluan’s two five-element diagrams and jade pendant formed a more advanced energy-flow pattern, revealing that she had perfected the principles of generation and restriction centuries earlier. As he and Xue Hongluan’s work seemed to align across time, elegant writing began appearing on the drawings.

• Zhang Chaoqun and Zhang Chaofan brought Su Ping a second diagram and returned a jade pendant from Xue Hongluan’s Mystic Realm, while explaining how they had found the items.
• Su Ping learned that Xue Hongluan had been a Liang Dynasty noblewoman and the Five Elements Spirit King, but the brothers’ photos revealed no clues about the origins of her notes.
• Su Ping paid the brothers for the pendant and diagram, offered to help Zhang Chaofan breed his Flame Wolf, and asked them to bring him other unusual ancient objects they found.
• Su Ping studied the five-elements restriction diagram and realized that combining generation and restriction produced new energy relationships and potentially more powerful energy conversion.
• Su Ping recognized that Xue Hongluan’s two diagrams fit together to match the pattern on her jade pendant, forming her complete five-elements energy-flow diagram.
• After the diagrams remained aligned for several minutes, elegant handwriting began appearing on their material.

Su Ping discovered that Xue Hongluan had created a five-elements cultivation method, then successfully tested its energy-amplifying cycle with the Five Elements Paper-Folding Men. The formation exploded when he pushed it too far, so Su Ping planned to strengthen the Paper-Folding Men and seek Liu Fuhai’s help before the Special Forces Breeder selection.

• Su Ping read Xue Hongluan’s playful message and realized her five-elements method had lacked a suitable pet beast to cultivate.
• Su Ping combined her diagrams into a more complex formation and had Qianyi guide the Five Elements Paper-Folding Men through its energy cycle.
• Su Ping watched the formation amplify its energy from 130 points to 313 points in one cycle, confirming that the method worked.
• Su Ping pushed the formation to continue cycling, but it exploded and injured the Paper-Folding Men, especially the Fire Element Paper-Folding Man.
• Su Ping healed the injured Paper-Folding Men and concluded that he needed to raise their levels and quality before attempting further cycles.
• Su Ping decided to involve Liu Fuhai in developing the Super-Rank Skill and called him to discuss it.

At the Breeder Association, Qin Erlong and Liu Fuhai learned that Su Ping’s Sunheart skill might qualify for the Skill Hall. Su Ping then called Liu Fuhai for help developing another Super-Rank Skill, leaving the others stunned by his latest discovery.

• Qin Erlong arranged for his Wood Dragon, Big Tree, to provide Zhu Hong’s Earth Dragon with weekly blood essence for evolution research.
• Zhu Hong praised Su Ping’s Sunheart and said the Super-Rank Skill had potential to enter the Skill Hall.
• Qin Erlong defended Su Ping’s prospects, saying he still had high hopes for the young breeder.
• Su Ping called Liu Fuhai and asked him to help with a new research project.
• Su Ping revealed that he had developed a Five Elements Super-Rank Skill in the evolved form of his Paper-Folding Man, and Qin Erlong felt vindicated when Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong were left speechless.

Su Ping showed Liu Fuhai, Zhu Hong, and Qin Erlong the Paper-Folding Men’s Assembly Form and Five Elements Paper Diagram, explaining his plans to strengthen them and develop their abilities. Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai agreed to help at Su Ping’s base, while the chapter ended with Su Ping considering Breeding Competition rewards for Xiao Qing’s envisioned evolution.

• Su Ping explained his theory that combining Paper-Folding Men could repair their incomplete souls, then showed the visitors Qianyi’s spliced form and its Paper-Folding Men separating from the swords.
• Qianyi assembled the Five Elements Paper Diagram, whose energy grew from over a hundred to more than three hundred in one cycle; Su Ping said the Paper-Folding Men could not yet withstand another cycle.
• Su Ping asked Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong to help improve the Paper-Folding Men, and Zhu Hong arranged to stay at Su Ping’s base while Qin Erlong agreed to visit for Wood Dragon Blood Draws.
• Zhu Hong told Su Ping that his Master Breeder benefits had been approved, with access to one Emperor-tier resource for now, and Liu Fuhai said Su Ping’s honorary vice president appointment would soon be finalized.
• Liu Fuhai explained the requirements for becoming a Master Breeder and reminded Su Ping that Han Laohu would soon deliver the Sea-Core Spirit Turtle and that he still had to choose his Breeding Competition rewards for Xiao Qing’s evolution.

Su Ping discussed Woodheart’s plans and Xiao Qing’s evolution while fishing with Liu Fuhai, Qin Erlong, and Zhu Hong. Back at his study, Feifei announced that it had created a Meditation Method suited for Su Ping.

• Qin Erlong told Su Ping that Linzhou planned to build an advanced Beast Tamer institution in the eastern suburbs, and Su Ping suggested redeveloping the Old City District instead of the area near Woodheart.
• Su Ping described plans for Waterheart, including an underwater pet beast promenade and a grassland riding ground for wolf pets.
• Su Ping reviewed Xiao Qing’s planned clone-based poison and Wood Element abilities and concluded that Xiao Qing might need to reach Commander Rank before evolutionary cultivation.
• Feifei announced that it had succeeded in creating a Meditation Method for Su Ping.

Su Ping tried Feifei’s experimental Meditation Method, which transported his consciousness into an unfinished virtual world where his starter Forest Wolf was defeated by a spider. He learned the method could improve mental power and benefit Feifei, but required expensive Mechanical Cores, so he decided to bring in specialists to develop the Chaos Continent.

• Feifei connected Su Ping to its virtual Chaos Continent through a mental-frequency signal and introduced A-Ning as his guide.
• Su Ping chose a Forest Wolf starter and watched it charge a Demonic Pattern Spider, which killed it and ended his visit.
• Feifei explained that the virtual world used Illusion Dream Crystals and Mechanical Cores to convert users’ activity into mental-power gains.
• Su Ping learned that each meditation-assistance device required an unawakened Mechanical Core, making the potential product extremely expensive.
• Su Ping decided to recruit specialists to develop the Chaos Continent, though he disliked its name.

Su Ping began developing Dreamheart and reconsidered how he had been raising Xiao Qing, discovering that the wolf’s Poison and Wood energies had become unbalanced. After correcting the imbalance, Xiao Qing learned a new skill, and Su Ping received an option to analyze the cause of Xiao Qing’s mutation.

• Su Ping asked Dong Muyun to find a small game development team for his new technological product, Dreamheart, and Feifei agreed to have A-Ning, Eileen, and the others appear in its game.
• Su Ping spoke with Xiao Qing and realized he had paid too little attention to the wolf’s preferences and evolutionary needs.
• Su Ping fed Xiao Qing a Wood Marrow Heart and Wolfheart, then discovered that the Smiling Sunflower Seeds he ate had poisoned him because Xiao Qing had cultivated them with Poison-type energy.
• Xiao Qing reached Elite Tier Nine as his Wood and Poison energies balanced, learned Grass Root, and passed mental power back to Su Ping.
• Su Ping’s Forest Wolf Record offered to analyze the cause of Xiao Qing’s Poison-type mutation for 1,600 experience points.

Su Ping used the Myriad Spirits Codex to uncover Xiao Qing’s mutation, learning it came from the legendary Jade Demon Spring Ginseng and granted powerful Wood and Poison abilities. His search revealed the resource’s extraordinary properties and left him with a lead to investigate Xiao Qing’s origins, though he had no way to obtain it yet.

• Su Ping spent experience to reveal Xiao Qing’s ultimate Wood and Poison dual-element mutation path and its effects.
• The Codex showed that Xiao Qing’s mother had consumed Jade Demon Spring Ginseng rootlets, dying from their backlash while Xiao Qing absorbed their essence before birth.
• Su Ping connected Xiao Qing’s unusual growth, skill learning, and increased racial ceiling to the mutation.
• Su Ping searched the Legion’s database for Jade Demon Spring Ginseng but found no information, then located an entry on the Breeder Association’s internal site.
• Su Ping learned that Jade Demon Spring Ginseng was an intelligent, elusive legendary resource with potent effects, and realized Xiao Qing might help him trace its source.

Su Anyong learned that the Heavenly Tomb might open earlier than expected and, after unblocking Su Ping, told him Xiao Qing had come from the Rong Family. Su Ping traced Xiao Qing’s origins to Tianshan Wildlife Park, chose two skills to cultivate in him, and began browsing the Hall of Fame Super-Rank Skills list.

• Su Anyong and Master Leng reviewed the Special Beast Tamer Corps’ darkness training and discussed preparing the recruits for a possibly imminent Heavenly Tomb expedition.
• Master Leng urged Su Anyong to unblock Su Ping, who called to ask where Xiao Qing had come from.
• Su Anyong told Su Ping the Rong Family had found Xiao Qing, and Rong Qiu said the Forest Wolf was likely found at Tianshan Wildlife Park near Beihan City.
• Su Ping decided he might search Tianshan for Jade Demon Spring Ginseng and planned to raise Xiao Qing’s rank before evolving him.
• Su Ping redeemed the Wood Element skill Life Burst and the Poison-type skill Poison Infusion Explosion for Xiao Qing.
• Su Ping accessed the Super-Rank Skill Cultivation Section and opened the Hall of Fame list, whose first displayed entry was Undead Death Domain.

Su Ping explored the history and effects of several hall-class super-rank skills, then focused on the ancient clone skill External Incarnation and its global research forum. The Myriad Spirits Codex recognized its development method as incomplete and offered to complete it for experience points.

• Su Ping studied Charles's Undead Death Domain and Nie Chuan's All Rivers Run to the Sea, learning about their powerful effects and the breeders' histories.
• Su Ping searched for Wood Element, Poison-type, and clone skills, then examined Eternal Forest Matrix, Graft and Transplant, and a Poison-type skill before moving on.
• Su Ping discovered that External Incarnation was a top-ranked ancient skill whose clones could keep the original alive and share skill-level gains, and he read the worldwide research forum about it.
• Su Ping paid to read Jones's research on psychic and elementalized pets, then studied a compilation of proposed methods for developing External Incarnation.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex activated and identified External Incarnation as an incomplete universal special pet beast development method, offering to complete it for experience points.

Su Ping decided to pursue the Myriad Spirits Codex’s completion of External Incarnation by earning more experience through developing Super-Rank Skills, while hiring a game studio to design a monster-fighting game for Feifei’s Meditation Method. The chapter ended with a Fire-Eating Crow returning to Su Ping with a gift.

• Su Ping discovered he needed thirty thousand Record experience points or three thousand universal experience points to complete External Incarnation, and he planned to earn more by developing Super-Rank Skills.
• Su Ping met Chu Yan and three Starry Sky Entertainment staff members, offering thirty million for a simple monster-fighting and leveling game designed to satisfy Feifei.
• Su Ping introduced Feifei to the game designers and asked them to prepare a basic proposal before the New Year.
• Guan Qianshan told Su Ping that the Fire-Eating Crow had returned and brought him a gift, so Su Ping went to see it.

Su Ping rewarded the injured Fire-Eating Crow with an Elven Leaf after it gave him a mysterious fiery feather, then outlined ambitious plans to expand Woodheart’s facilities and habitats. As he toured the grounds, Master Zhu Hong called to announce that he had successfully cultivated Fireheart inside the Paper-Folding Man, prompting Su Ping to hurry to the laboratory.

• Su Ping received a fiery feather from the wounded Fire-Eating Crow and gave it an Elven Leaf in return.
• Su Ping told Guan Qianshan he planned to hire retired Legion Beast Tamers and reorganize Woodheart’s layout.
• Su Ping proposed expanding the Undead Basement into themed buildings for breeding undead pet beasts and entertaining visitors.
• Su Ping planned new habitats and recreation areas across Woodheart, including a snowfield resort and a grassland horse-racing course.
• Su Ping visited the Life Ancient Tree and Rouge Peach Blossom Smile, promising to seek an evolved form and other peach trees for the latter.
• Master Zhu Hong told Su Ping he had cultivated Fireheart in the Paper-Folding Man, and Su Ping rushed to the breeding laboratory base.

Su Ping, Zhu Hong, and Liu Fuhai advanced research on the Paper-Folding Men, completing Fireheart and testing how their Five Elements cycle improved at higher levels. The formation managed one extra transition before exploding, and the group planned further cultivation and evolution as New Year's Eve approached.

• Su Ping confirmed that Zhu Hong had successfully cultivated Fireheart in a Paper-Folding Man, then learned the method and began planning the other Elemental Hearts with him.
• Liu Fuhai reported that the five Paper-Folding Men had reached Elite Tier Seven, and Qianyi arranged them into the Five Elements Paper Diagram at Elite Peak.
• Su Ping and the others tested the Five Elements cycle; its energy rose sharply, including a fifty-percent increase at the earth stage, but the formation exploded while wood generated fire.
• Zhu Hong explained that completing the Super-Rank Skill would require at least three to five greater celestial circuits, and Su Ping proposed cultivating Elemental Hearts, raising levels, and strengthening the Paper-Folding Men's bodies.
• Su Ping and Zhu Hong cultivated Woodheart for the Wood Element Paper-Folding Man over the next two or three days as New Year's Eve drew closer.

Su Ping completed Dreamheart, a virtual-reality game that could improve players’ mental power, and Dong Muyun began planning its limited release and promotion. After giving Li Shu a headset to test, Su Ping considered helping former classmate Yin Yin, but Master Zhu Hong summoned him back to prepare the Elemental Heart.

• Su Ping let Dong Muyun test Dreamheart, and she found that it was lifelike, entertaining, and capable of slightly improving mental power.
• Dong Muyun set a tentative price of 120 million and discussed marketing, while Su Ping explained that failed-to-awaken Mechanical Cores limited production and gave her one of his five headsets.
• Su Ping rejected celebrity advertising and told Dong Muyun that Dreamheart should be promoted with ordinary people instead.
• Su Ping visited the breeding woodland, saw Li Shu watching Yin Yin’s livestream, and gave Li Shu a Dreamheart headset to test and review.
• Su Ping considered offering Yin Yin a chance to appear in a Pingyun Group advertisement, but Master Zhu Hong summoned him because preparations for the Elemental Heart were nearly complete.

Su Ping and the breeders successfully gave Qianyi a Super-Rank Skill by combining five Paper-Folding Men with Elemental Hearts, then tested Five Elements Generation and Restriction with the strengthened diagram. The experiment exceeded its safe limit and blew apart the basement, leaving Guan Qianshan to find Su Ping alive amid the ruins.

• Zhu Hong explained that Paper-Folding Men could combine multiple Elemental Hearts, and Su Ping had Qianyi fuse with five elemental Paper Swords.
• Qianyi manifested the five-colored glow of Super Heart, and Su Ping confirmed through True Eye that he had gained the Super-Rank Skill Elemental Heart.
• The Paper-Folding Men formed the Five Elements Paper Diagram, and Su Ping began testing Five Elements Generation and Restriction with a Fireheart bearer.
• The diagram’s fire energy rose through successive circuits to more than 4,900 as Su Ping, Zhu Hong, and Liu Fuhai watched the experiment continue.
• The diagram cracked and exploded during the third circuit, and Zhu Hong’s Earth Dragon shielded the people and Paper-Folding Men while the blast destroyed the basement villa.
• Guan Qianshan rushed to the wreckage and found Su Ping dusty but apparently unharmed beneath the Earth Dragon.

Su Ping hosted the Sang Sage and Qin Xiaoxue at Woodheart and showed them Dreamheart, a game he had created from the Sang Sage’s Meditation Method. After defeating her first monsters, the Sang Sage discovered that Dreamheart had genuinely increased her real-world spiritual power.

• Su Ping spent his days caring for Zhu Hong’s Yellow Dragon, Big Yellow, while the Dragon-Pattern Bamboo grew a level by fawning over the dragon.
• Dong Muyun told Su Ping that Dong Muxuan and Ye Zhou had arrived, and Su Ping invited them to Woodheart to discuss Space-type pet beasts.
• The Sang Sage, Qin Xiaoxue, and Qin Erlong arrived in Linzhou, where the Sang Sage heard about Su Ping’s Paper-Folding Men research and his promised gift.
• Su Ping gave the Sang Sage and Qin Xiaoxue helmets for Dreamheart, then explained how to enter the game and experience its meditation effects.
• The Sang Sage entered Dreamheart, defeated low-level monsters, and realized that the game had increased her spiritual power in the real world.

The Sang Sage tested Dreamheart, learned about Su Ping’s promising Paper-Folding Man skill, and asked whether the game could be accelerated with money. Su Ping discussed Dreamheart’s launch plans with Dong Muyun and began discussing atavistic evolution research with Ye Zhou, whose mention of a Fire-Eating Crow caught his attention.

• The Sang Sage asked Su Ping whether Dreamheart allowed spending money to level up faster, and he said the feature was not available yet.
• Liu Fuhai explained the Paper-Folding Man’s Five Elements abilities, startling the Sang Sage with its potential to rival Sunheart and become a Hall of Fame Super-Rank Skill.
• The Sang Sage left Qin Xiaoxue to keep playing Dreamheart and invited Su Ping to dinner before he turned to his visitors.
• Dong Muyun proposed how to sell the first thirty Dreamheart headsets, and Su Ping chose fair online reservations and suggested Yin Yin for the advertisement.
• Ye Zhou told Su Ping he had found pets that might undergo atavistic evolution, including a Fire-Eating Crow, and Su Ping reacted with surprise.

Ye Zhou used his Time Hourglass, Shasha, to reflect the past of a mysterious feather, revealing that it came from a Dark Flame Ancient Crow related to the Fire-Eating Crow. Su Ping discovered the possibility of researching the Fire-Eating Crow’s ancient origins and grew interested in Shasha’s time abilities.

• Ye Zhou suggested that Fire-Eating Crows might share an ancient connection with the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and Su Ping considered how such a beast could support Old Sha’s Sunheart ability.
• Su Ping showed Ye Zhou the fiery feather left by the mutated Fire-Eating Crow, and Ye Zhou admitted he could not identify it directly.
• Ye Zhou summoned his Time Hourglass, Shasha, which used Time Reflection to reveal an image of the bird that had shed the feather.
• Su Ping searched the Breeder Association database and identified the bird as a Dark Flame Ancient Crow, whose population had apparently vanished about three hundred years earlier.
• Su Ping looked up the Fire-Eating Crow’s history, and Ye Zhou noted its first recorded appearance about six hundred years earlier, making the possible connection worth researching.
• Ye Zhou explained that he studied the past along the timeline, while Su Ping privately became interested in Shasha and its time abilities; Dong Muxuan remained confused by their conversation.

Dong Muyun hired Yin Yin to promote Pingyun’s new gaming device after Su Ping recommended her, and arranged for Jingkong to boost her livestream. Yin Yin’s sudden rise showed her how much influence Su Ping’s word carried.

• Dong Muyun reviewed Yin Yin’s background and ordered Luo Yunxia to bring her to Pingyun for a meeting.
• Dong Muyun offered Yin Yin a well-paid publicity contract tied to Pingyun’s new gaming device, and Yin Yin signed after realizing Su Ping had recommended her.
• Dong Muyun told Yin Yin to begin advertisement preparations the next morning and warned her not to disappoint Su Ping.
• Luo Yunxia ordered Jingkong Entertainment to promote Yin Yin and warned its staff against anyone trying to exploit her.
• Yin Yin’s livestream received the platform’s top recommendation, gifts from major spenders, and support from top streamers, bringing her over a hundred thousand new followers.
