Su Ping renamed his expanded base Heart of Myriad Spirits and arranged to recruit retired military Beast Tamers after the New Year. Yin Yin's Dreamheart livestream drew widespread attention when she revealed that the hundred-and-twenty-million game could improve mental power through play.

• Su Ping learned that unstable space around the former mystic realms prevented him from installing a spatial teleportation array in the short term.
• Su Ping obtained Su Anyong's approval to rename the whole base Heart of Myriad Spirits while retaining Woodheart as its central home and research area.
• Su Ping told Lin Lei that cultivating Sunheart required a Forest Wolf with perfected Sunlight Absorption, and Lin Lei agreed to send about twenty retired Commander Rank Beast Tamers after the holiday.

• Yin Yin advanced from ordinary sixth rank to ordinary tier seven during play and revealed that Dreamheart could increase mental power faster than meditation, sending the livestream into an uproar.

Yin Yin’s Dreamheart livestream drew wealthy viewers eager to obtain the headset, while Su Ping refused to grant special access and considered how Dreamheart benefited Feifei. After the injured Fire-Eating Crow returned to him, Su Ping healed it, and the little crow decided to lead him to the source of its trouble.

• A trending topic about Dreamheart’s ability to raise meditation speed brought a flood of wealthy viewers to Yin Yin’s livestream, and the gift leaderboard was taken over by people seeking early access to the headsets.
• After Yin Yin ended the stream, she was stunned by her huge donation total and worried she could not fulfill donors’ requests for Dreamheart.
• Dong Muyun told Su Ping that Huo Longshan and others wanted early headsets, but Su Ping insisted that Pingyun treat everyone fairly and make buyers compete in the preorder queue.
• Su Ping visited Zhu Hong at Waterheart, asked how to earn a dragon’s acknowledgment, and learned that dragons respected strength and recognized those who proved themselves.
• Uncle Guan told Su Ping that the Fire-Eating Crow had returned badly injured, so Su Ping used Rapid Recovery, Illusionheart, and the Life Ancient Tree to save it.
• The little crow could not explain its repeated injuries, so it decided to call for help by taking Su Ping to the scene.

Su Ping traveled with the Fire-Eating Crow and his companions to a valley packed with wild bird-type pet beasts, where he considered whether his talent could help him tame them. Nearby, the Zhang Family brothers investigated signs of an emerging Mystic Realm and were stunned when Big Yellow descended in front of them.

• Su Ping set out with Qin Xiaoxue, Dong Muxuan, Ye Zhou, the Fire-Eating Crow, and Big Yellow after the crow's injuries had partly healed.
• The group reached a remote valley where thousands of wild bird-type pet beasts had gathered, and Su Ping wondered whether he could bring them under his control.
• Su Ping spotted no immediate explanation for the birds' gathering and continued toward the valley while thinking about adding flying beasts to the Heart of Myriad Spirits.
• The Zhang Family brothers concealed themselves near the valley after tracking signs of an emerging Mystic Realm for half a month.
• Da Zhang warned Xiao Zhang to retreat if a Monarch Rank beast appeared, but Big Yellow landed nearby and left both brothers stunned by the sight of a dragon.

Su Ping joined forces with the Zhang Brothers and the Demon City Academy students to clear the birds from the Mystic Realm valley and help the little crow avenge its flock. After Little Paper Figure Qianyi killed a Commander-tier eagle with one strike, the little crow led Su Ping toward a cave and revealed a connection to a Dark Flame Ancient Crow, leaving him baffled by the supposedly extinct creature’s presence.

• Su Ping encountered the Zhang Brothers near the valley and learned that it contained a Mystic Realm.
• After the little crow identified the valley birds as invaders and asked for revenge, Su Ping and the others summoned their pet beasts to fight them.
• Little Paper Figure Qianyi killed a Commander Tier Five Iron-Feathered Golden Eagle with one sword strike, astonishing the group.
• The little crow burned the eagle’s corpse and pointed out that it had injured its wing.
• Su Ping showed the little crow a Dark Flame Ancient Crow feather, and it pointed toward a cave guarded by peak Commander birds.
• Su Ping realized the cave’s nearby bird corpses might include a Dark Flame Ancient Crow, despite the species being recorded as extinct for three hundred years.

Su Ping investigated a valley where wild birds gathered around a cave filled with corpses and discovered that the little crow’s home was there. As the valley grew hotter and the birds rushed the cave, space shattered and something began to emerge.

• Su Ping followed Big Yellow to the cliff, where they found piles of dead birds, including the Dark Flame Ancient Crow.
• The little crow said it wanted to go home, and the Zhang Brothers confirmed that the cave was the site of an imminent Mystic Realm.
• Su Ping examined the cave and searched the Breeder Association database while the temperature in the valley continued to rise.
• Big Yellow sensed a sharp increase in fire-element energy, and the valley’s birds suddenly surged toward the cave.
• Su Ping turned toward the cave’s depths as space shattered and something began to emerge.

A crimson elemental flame emerged from the shattering Mystic Realm, drawing countless birds into a deadly blaze as Su Ping absorbed the realm and gained the Fire-Nurturing Domain trait. After the fire formed a gigantic phoenix that cried “Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!”, it shattered into flaming meteors, leaving Su Ping and the others with a scorched valley and no answers.

• A vivid crimson flame drifted out of the fiery Spatial Vortex, and Big Yellow warned Su Ping to flee as birds rushed toward it.
• The flame engulfed the approaching birds, while Su Ping used Spatial Absorption on the collapsing Mystic Realm and gained the Fire-Nurturing Domain trait.
• Su Ping escaped the burning valley with Big Yellow and the Zhang Brothers, then reunited with Qin Xiaoxue, Ye Zhou, and Dong Muxuan.
• The sea of fire gathered into a colossal phoenix, which spoke the Ancient Serpent Script phrase “Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!”
• The phoenix soared into the sky and shattered into flaming meteors, leaving the valley blackened and its birds dead.

After witnessing a mysterious fire phoenix, Su Ping discovered that absorbing the Mystic Realm had expanded his Beast Taming Space with a hot, dry Fire-Nurturing Domain. He resumed preparing for his breakthrough and searched for a Water Element spatial trait resource, while the phoenix’s origins remained unknown.

• Su Ping searched the Breeder Association’s records for the fire phoenix but found no match, and he missed a lively spark reappearing on the little crow’s tail after he put it in his Beast Taming Space.
• Su Ping examined his expanded Beast Taming Space and found a red Fire-Nurturing Domain that produced flame fruit but left the space dry.
• Su Ping showed the fire phoenix recording to Sang Sage, Master Zhu Hong, and the others, and Zhu Hong found a similar image in an ancient mural from a ruined site in Western Desert Province.
• Sang Sage promised to report the mysterious creature to the Dragon Nation’s higher-ups, and Su Ping turned his attention back to strengthening himself.
• After two days of meditation, Su Ping neared a breakthrough but sought a Water Element spatial trait resource to temper his Beast Taming Space; the Breeder Association and Ghost Sage had none available.

On New Year's Eve, Su Ping organized a celebration at Woodheart for the pets of the Heart of Myriad Spirits, complete with a reunion feast and a performance gala. As the festivities brought the pets closer together, the Fire-Eating Crow and Sea-Core Spirit Turtle illuminated their Records, granting Su Ping new origin rewards.

• Su Anyong called Su Ping to exchange New Year's greetings and reminded him to offer incense to his grandfather's and mother's memorial tablets.
• Su Ping gathered the pets at Woodheart, wrote and hung Ancient Serpent Script couplets, and announced a performance gala and midnight prize draw.
• Su Ping prepared a New Year's Eve feast tailored to the Forest Wolves, plant-type pets, Paper-Folding Men, Fire-Eating Crow, and Sea-Core Spirit Turtle.
• Qianyi opened the gala with a fiery sword performance and named its technique Qianyi Fire Sword, after which the other pets performed.
• The Fire-Eating Crow accepted the Heart of Myriad Spirits as its new home, illuminating its Record and granting Su Ping Levitation Technique.
• The Sea-Core Spirit Turtle also illuminated its Record, granting Su Ping Underwater Breathing.

On New Year's Eve, Su Ping gained Levitation and Underwater Breathing, then celebrated with his pets through a feast, a red-envelope lottery, and fireworks. The little crow won a special prize and chose the name Yaya, while Su Ping ended the night by offering New Year's wishes at his family shrine.

• Su Ping gained the Levitation and Underwater Breathing talents after the Sea-Core Spirit Turtle and little crow met the intimacy requirements.
• Su Ping handed out red envelopes: Qianyi won a resource, the Moon Laurel Tree won a higher-tier resource, Xiao Qing won two resources, Little Dot won skill training, and Mistwater Pine won priority for cultivation and evolution.
• The little crow won the special grand prize and asked first for its home to stay safe, then for a name; Su Ping named it Yaya.
• Su Ping and the pets set off fireworks to welcome the New Year.
• Su Ping offered incense at the spirit tablets of his father Su Chongguang and wife Chun’er, then prayed for the Nine Provinces, his family and friends, his own fortunes, and his brothers’ wishes.

Pingyun Group sold all twenty-eight Dreamheart helmets in under five seconds, while Huang Tianbing sought Su Ping’s help with a dangerously unstable Mystic Realm. On New Year’s Day, Su Ping learned that the Elemental Paper-Folding Man’s evolution was complete.

• Dong Muyun and Assistant Luo watched the Dreamheart sale begin, and all twenty-eight helmets sold out in less than five seconds.
• Dong Muyun told Assistant Luo to prepare to receive the buyers and then sent Su Ping the good news.
• Deputy Director Lin told Huang Tianbing that cracks had appeared in the Spatial Vortex of the Tidal Mystic Realm, which might collapse and merge with reality within two months.
• Huang Tianbing decided to contact Su Ping for help, but spent the night deliberating and eventually sent him a New Year’s greeting instead.
• Su Ping woke to a flood of New Year’s messages and calls, including Dong Muyun’s report that Dreamheart had sold out.
• Liu Fuhai told Su Ping that the Elemental Paper-Folding Man’s evolution was complete and that he and Master Zhu were heading to Woodheart.

Su Ping, Liu Fuhai, and Master Zhu evolved the five elemental paper-folding men and prepared to test whether they could still perform Five Elements Generation and Restriction. The chapter ended with Guan Qianshan arriving at the base just as another experiment exploded and demolished the temporary laboratory.

• Liu Fuhai and Master Zhu brought Su Ping a newly evolved fire paper-folding man, which had become a Commander-tier Burning Paper Figure.
• Su Ping examined the Burning Paper Figure, gained 1,000 Paper-Folding Man Record points, and ordered the other paper-folding men evolved for a fourth Five Elements Generation and Restriction experiment.
• Su Ping, Liu Fuhai, and Master Zhu evolved the earth, water, metal, and wood paper-folding men, which together earned 800 record points, then summoned Qianyi to assemble them for the experiment.
• Guan Qianshan left his New Year family visit and drove to the Heart of Myriad Spirits, where he found the base quiet and noticed the Breeder Association president’s car.
• Guan Qianshan reached the guest rooms as the experiment exploded, and the Yellow Dragon shielded the people while the temporary laboratory collapsed.

Su Ping tested the evolved Five Elements Paper Diagram and discovered it could build energy to an Emperor Tier level before considering how its folding ability could be used in combat. He used it as an underwater life jacket to visit the Rainbow Coral Polyp, while Huang Tianbing grew restless after waiting five days for Su Ping’s reply.

• Su Ping and the others tested the Commander Tier Seven Five Elements Paper Diagram, which completed four and a half Greater Celestial Circuits and reached an energy value of 63,957.
• Zhu Hong conjectured that about five conversions might complete the Five Elements Paper Diagram’s super-rank skill, and Big Yellow was stunned by the explosion.
• Su Ping realized that Paper Body Folding let the Five Elements Paper Diagram change shape and considered how it could fight effectively.
• Su Ping transformed the Five Elements Paper Diagram into a water-aspected life jacket and visited the Rainbow Coral Polyp beneath Waterheart, feeding it bait.
• Su Ping returned to shore with the Sea-Core Spirit Turtle and dried himself with the life jacket, still regretting that he had not found a chance to test the diagram in battle.
• At the Celestial Observatory, Huang Tianbing grew restless after waiting five days without a reply from Su Ping.

Su Ping agreed to help Huang Tianbing and the Celestial Observatory destroy the unstable Tidal Mystic Realm near Yanxun Island after its survey. The mission was scheduled for three days later, and Su Ping was promised Observatory points and a choice of something produced in the realm.

• Ye Zhou studied the Dark Flame Ancient Crow’s remains, and Su Ping suggested that changes in Blue Star’s energy might have caused ancient pet beasts to degenerate or disappear.
• Huang Tianbing called Su Ping and revealed that he was the Celestial Observatory’s Chief Director and Su Ping’s longtime chat partner through its backend.
• Huang Tianbing asked Su Ping to enter the unstable Tidal Mystic Realm with Observatory members, retrieve its survey data, and destroy it to prevent spatial disruption.
• Su Ping accepted the mission, interested in the chance that the Water Element Mystic Realm might help balance his Beast Taming Space.
• Huang Tianbing proposed setting out in three days and offered Su Ping two thousand Celestial Observatory Internal Points plus his choice of one thing produced by the Mystic Realm.

Su Ping traveled with Sang Sage to Yanxun Island to investigate the fractured Tidal Mystic Realm, while learning that the mysterious fire Phoenix might have appeared thousands of years ago. After Sang Sage secured the Celestial Observatory’s promise to protect him, Su Ping entered the Mystic Realm with its surveyors.

• Sang Sage accompanied Su Ping across the East Sea, explaining that she was guarding him against possible assassins and sharing Lord Sacred Dragon’s limited findings about the fire Phoenix.
• Sang Sage said the fire Phoenix had likely appeared thousands of years ago, prompting Su Ping to wonder whether ancient energy had caused the Dark Flame Ancient Crow’s evolution and might also exist in his Beast Taming Space.
• Su Ping and Sang Sage reached Yanxun Island, where Huang Tianbing greeted Sang Sage and showed them the fractured Spatial Vortex leading to the Tidal Mystic Realm.
• Sang Sage ordered the Celestial Observatory’s Monarch Rank Beast Tamers to protect Su Ping and gave him a seed that could rescue him from danger.
• Su Ping accepted the seed and entered the Tidal Mystic Realm with the Celestial Observatory surveyors.

Su Ping entered the Tidal Mystic Realm with four Celestial Observatory members, who attracted a swarm of Blackwater Mystic Snakes far stronger and more numerous than expected. As the team prepared to evacuate, Su Ping stayed behind and offered to try fighting them himself.

• Su Ping learned that the team planned to lure aquatic beasts with fishy aromatic oil and watched them prepare to fight.
• The chumming drew a huge swarm of Blackwater Mystic Snakes, including dozens of Monarch Rank beasts, which overwhelmed the team's guns and beasts.
• The Celestial Observatory leader ordered the group to retreat and told Su Ping to open the spatial vortex and leave first.
• Su Ping decided the realm's abundant source made it worth staying and asked to try fighting the snakes.

Su Ping used the Five Elements Paper Diagram to unleash an Earth Spike attack that wiped out much of the Blackwater Mystic Snake tide and helped the squad clear the Mystic Realm. With the sweep complete, he began using his enhanced Spatial Absorption on the realm’s remaining origin.

• Su Ping revealed the Five Elements Paper Diagram and cycled its energy through the elements until it reached the upper limit the Mystic Realm could withstand.
• Su Ping ordered Brother Wei to withdraw his pet beasts, then unleashed Emperor Rank-level Earth Spike and killed countless Blackwater Mystic Snakes, including ten at Monarch Rank.
• Su Ping continued attacking the snake tide roughly every five minutes while the others fought, and the squad eventually cleared the waters of the remaining snakes.
• Brother Wei ordered Old Luo to stay behind with Su Ping while the others searched the sea, and Old Luo told Su Ping that he was an intermediate Mechanic.
• The squad returned to the island with the snake corpses, and Su Ping extended an illusory tentacle into the unstable Mystic Realm to absorb its spatial origin.

Su Ping absorbed the Tidal Mystic Realm, gained an incomplete water terrain trait, and received a Sea Python Token and Essence of the Azure Sea as rewards. Back at the Heart of Myriad Spirits, he prepared to begin his breakthrough to Commander Rank.

• Sang Sage rebuked Huang Tianbing for the Celestial Observatory’s inadequate preparations and secured Su Ping the right to take two items from the mystic realm.
• Su Ping absorbed the mystic realm’s essence, expanding his Beast Taming Space and gaining the incomplete Pool of Accumulated Water trait while suppressing his imminent breakthrough.
• Sang Sage gave Su Ping the Sea Python Token and Essence of the Azure Sea, and Huang Tianbing passed him the Myriad Serpents Saint’s breeding insights.
• Su Ping thanked Huang Tianbing and hurried back with Sang Sage to the Heart of Myriad Spirits.
• Su Ping calmed himself in his room, then released his suppressed mental power to begin his breakthrough.

Su Ping broke through to commander rank, discovered two new spatial traits in his expanded Beast Taming Space, and formed a Soul Contract with Feifei as his third pet beast. He then went to collect Flame Fruits for Little Crow, only to find the fire-nurturing domain empty.

• Su Ping used the Essence of the Azure Sea to advance to commander rank, while Xiao Qing and Qianyi also reached commander rank first stage through their Soul Connections.
• Su Ping found that his Beast Taming Space had expanded more than tenfold and gained the traits “a drop of water becomes a sea” and “myriad things thrive.”
• Su Ping completed a Soul Contract with Feifei, making it his third pet beast, and Feifei advanced to elite tier two.
• Su Ping considered how to develop Feifei’s combat power, then remembered that he had not checked on Little Crow since the New Year.
• Su Ping entered his Beast Taming Space to collect Flame Fruits for Little Crow and found that all the fruits in the fire-nurturing domain had vanished.

Su Ping planned the Heart of Myriad Spirits’ expansion, recruited an Undead specialist to design Soulheart, and continued training his pets while investigating the vanishing Flame Fruits. The chapter ended with Liu Fuhai calling to say that the Paper-Folding Men’s five-revolution circuit was nearly complete, bringing their Super-Rank Skill close to completion.

• Su Ping discussed the Five Elements Paper Diagram’s battle performance with Liu Fuhai and Zhu Hong, who said their research was entering its final stage, and he offered them the Sea Python Token and the Myriad Serpents Saint’s breeding insights for the Breeder Association’s records.
• Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai advised Su Ping to recruit breeder students or assistants, and Su Ping considered expanding his team to support the Heart of Myriad Spirits’ growing projects.
• Su Ping inspected plans for Soulheart and heard Bai Cang propose Undead-themed attractions; he assigned him designs featuring Scarecrows, Hopping Zombies, Skeleton Soldiers, and Paper-Folding Men, pending a background check and a practical test.
• Su Ping continued training Xiao Qing and Yaya, who advanced to Commander Rank Second Stage and First Stage respectively, while his Flame Fruits kept mysteriously disappearing whenever they were unobserved.
• Su Ping asked the Hundred-Bird Parasol Tree why Yaya had been away, learned that she wanted to be a hero, and then received Liu Fuhai’s call that the five-revolution Greater Celestial Circuit was nearly complete.

Su Ping, Zhu Hong, and Liu Fuhai tested the assembled Five Elements Paper Diagram and pushed its energy cycle past five Greater Celestial Circuits. As the perfected cycle began releasing surplus elemental energy, the Paper Diagram glowed with a new light, signaling that its Super-Rank Skill might have awakened.

• Su Ping joined Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai in the laboratory to test the assembled Five Elements Paper Diagram, while Big Yellow reluctantly agreed to stand by after Zhu Hong promised his evolution was near.
• The Five Elements Paper Diagram completed five Greater Celestial Circuits, with each cycle increasing its energy until it reached a value of 73958.
• Su Ping proposed continuing the cycle so the Diagram could release excess energy after its power reached its limit, and Zhu Hong and Liu Fuhai agreed to proceed.
• The Diagram began releasing surplus elemental energy, first forming earth spikes that pierced the laboratory walls.
• As the Diagram continued cycling, it unleashed earth, fire, water, wood, and metal attacks, wrecking the laboratory before a new light appeared across it.
