Chapter Summaries

After the attack in Sakura Capital, Shen Qiu tried to reassure Dong Muyun that the Golden Society would secure an explanation and presented her with a rare Saint Spirit Tier Stone of Imagination. Dong Muyun accepted the gift but agreed to wait until the exchange gathering in two days before judging the Golden Society’s plans.

• Dong Muyun returned to the hotel with Su Ping and warned Shen Qiu to reconsider his activities in Cherry Blossom Country.
• Shen Qiu spoke with the Golden Society’s president, who ordered him to keep members indoors and ensure the Heart of Gold branch was established despite Dong Muyun’s concerns.
• The president explained that Su Ping distrusted the Heart of Gold because Qin Chuan had once leaked information that nearly led to Su Ping’s death.
• Shen Qiu visited Dong Muyun and apologized for the security failure, then offered her a Saint Spirit Tier Stone of Imagination as compensation.
• Su Ping recognized the Stone of Imagination as a rare Psychic Element resource connected to Feifei’s origins, and Dong Muyun accepted it.
• Dong Muyun agreed to wait two days for the exchange gathering before deciding whether Sakura Capital and the Golden Society were worth dealing with.

While hiding in the hotel, Su Ping used the Stone of Imagination to develop a possible direction for a Psychic Element Super-Rank Skill based on shaping opponents’ power and fears within dreams. Shen Qiu later confirmed that the Sakurai Family had punished the Chigui Lineage and Yamata Family, and Dong Muyun agreed to attend the exchange meeting.

• Su Ping experimented with the Stone of Imagination and conceived a dream-combat method that could use an opponent’s energy and fear against them.
• Dong Muyun spent two days bored in the hotel while Su Ping focused on his research instead of going out.
• Shen Qiu told Dong Muyun that the Sakurai Family had struck against the Yamata Family and Chigui Lineage after their forces ambushed her and Su Ping.
• Shen Qiu reported that Red Oni Jue had lost one Pet Beast and had two others severely injured, while the Chigui Lineage had been driven back to Nara.
• Dong Muyun agreed to attend the next day’s exchange meeting, and Shen Qiu said the Heart of Gold president wanted to meet her afterward.

At Cherry Blossom Country’s Eastern Commercial Exchange, Su Ping and Dong Muyun met powerful representatives from across the Eastern Continent and the Endless Sea while seeking business connections for Pingyun. The gathering ended with Sakurai Chunmu introducing Yagyu Yinyue, the founder of the Heart of Gold, whom Su Ping recognized as the main player he had come to meet.

• Su Ping and Dong Muyun arrived at the heavily guarded Sakurai Club as part of Dragon's Country’s Golden Society delegation and discovered that the exchange included major officials and unusual ferocious beasts.
• Sakurai Chunmu introduced Elephant Nation’s Gu Tuo, who praised Pingyun’s Magic Potions and offered to help its products enter his country’s market.
• Dong Muyun reunited with Hato of the Nation of Ten Thousand Islands, while Hato recognized Shark Ji vaguely but failed to identify her.
• Sakurai Chunmu introduced the visiting powers, including Snake Country’s displeased Python King, whose country had suffered losses connected to the Yamata Family’s setback.
• Sakurai Chunmu presented Yagyu Yinyue as the Heart of Gold’s founder and special envoy, and Su Ping recognized him as the main player at the exchange.

At the Cherry Blossom Country Exchange Meeting, Yagyu Yinyue courted Dong Muyun and questioned the circumstances of the recent attack on Manager Zhang before announcing the Heart of Gold’s branch. As golden light appeared onstage, Su Ping recognized that the organization had finally revealed itself.

• Yagyu Yinyue spoke with Dong Muyun about Pingyun’s possible investment in the Eagle Country and asked whether Su Ping had become vice president of the Dragon Nation’s Beast Tamer Association.
• Yagyu Yinyue questioned Dong Muyun about the attack on Manager Zhang, and she said her guard had given Zhang a Pet Beast that could counter the attackers.
• Yagyu Yinyue offered Pingyun a branch-headquarters building in Sakura Capital and a five-year tax reduction, then left to prepare his speech.
• At the Exchange Meeting, Yagyu Yinyue introduced himself as an Eagle Country founder of the Heart of Gold and urged the attendees to join its new branch.
• Yagyu Yinyue claimed the Heart of Gold could use money to secure Pet Beasts, resources, and Mental Strength growth, while Su Ping remained skeptical of its methods.
• Yagyu Yinyue declared the Exchange Meeting a celebration of the branch’s establishment, and golden light appeared as Su Ping watched the Heart of Gold reveal itself.

Su Ping examined the Heart of Gold’s promise to turn corporate wealth into Mental Strength and judged that its unchecked pursuit of profit would exploit ordinary people, though it could serve as a regulated path toward Lord Sacred Dragon’s goal of Everyone Like Dragons. As Sakurai Minami began integrating his company, someone beside Dong Muyun asked whether shareholders would be punished if the company’s valuation fell.

• Su Ping recognized that the Heart of Gold’s real power came from its worldwide financial network, not the server that housed it, and resolved to disrupt the Golden Society’s plans and report what he learned to Dragon Nation.
• Yagyu Yinyue explained how companies could join the Heart of Gold and grant shareholders Mental Strength based on valuations, investments, and company growth.
• Su Ping warned Dong Muyun that the system would mostly benefit a few people and could drive companies to exploit workers, while Lord Sacred Dragon’s approach aimed to make advancement and resources more accessible.
• Yagyu Yinyue invited a company to integrate with the Heart of Gold and selected Sakurai Minami, a Sakurai Family descendant who controlled Sakurai Marine Fisheries.
• Yagyu Yinyue described the integration process and said the Heart of Gold would not affect company operations, then someone beside Dong Muyun asked whether shareholders would suffer penalties if their company’s valuation declined.

Yagyu Yinyue explained how the Heart of Gold handled companies that lost value, then demonstrated its benefits by recruiting Sakurai Minami’s company and boosting his cultivation. He invited the Golden Society’s Dragon Nation partners to join on easier terms, leaving Dong Muyun and Su Ping worried about upheaval when they returned home.

• Yagyu Yinyue explained that declining company value could dilute shareholders’ equity, while the Heart of Gold generally would not directly harm Beast Tamers it had already empowered.
• Sakurai Minami applied to join the Heart of Gold on behalf of Sakurai Ocean Fishing Group, and the Heart of Gold approved his application after assessing the company.
• The Heart of Gold’s feedback raised Sakurai Minami’s cultivation from Emperor Rank Second Stage to Emperor Third Stage, convincing many attendees to seek membership.
• Yagyu Yinyue announced that applicants generally needed a company valued above one billion and sufficient liquid funds, while Golden Society partners from Dragon Nation would receive reduced requirements and support.
• Dong Muyun and Su Ping worried that Yagyu Yinyue’s offer would cause major upheaval when they returned to Dragon Nation.

Su Ping revealed his identity at the Heart of Gold gathering and declared that the Dragon Nation opposed its companies joining the organization, threatening treason investigations and frozen assets for those who did. Yagyu Yinyue abandoned any immediate attempt to attack, leaving the gathering’s plans in jeopardy.

• Dong Muyun and Su Ping realized that the gathering could draw many companies into the Heart of Gold before the Dragon Nation could respond, and Su Ping decided to intervene.
• Su Ping dropped his disguise in front of the gathering and asked Yagyu Yinyue whether the Heart of Gold had obtained official approval from the countries whose companies it recruited.
• Yagyu Yinyue acknowledged Su Ping and said the Nation of Ten Thousand Islands and the Elephant Nation had authorized the Heart of Gold, then asked him to state the Dragon Nation’s position.
• Su Ping declared that the Dragon Nation rejected the Heart of Gold’s conduct and would treat companies joining it as having relinquished Dragon Nation citizenship, freezing their assets and investigating their personnel for treason.
• Yagyu Yinyue refrained from attacking Su Ping, while Su Ping stood by the Dragon Nation’s position and challenged anyone who dismissed his warning to try.

Su Ping halted the Heart of Gold’s attempt to establish a branch, insisting that the Dragon Nation’s authorities assess the organization before it could influence the country’s economy. The Golden Patriarch, Edmund Golden, arrived to defend the Heart of Gold, but the chapter ended with the Sacred Dragon Legend appearing, leaving Su Ping relieved that the Dragon Nation’s strongest figure had arrived.

• Su Ping demanded that the Dragon Nation assess the Heart of Gold before allowing it to affect the country’s financial markets, while Sakurai Chunmu stayed silent and Chairman Yan backed down under Su Ping’s gaze.
• Shark Ji marked the Golden Society members with her aura so they could not escape, and Su Ping prepared to interrogate Shen Qiu after the meeting.
• Edmund Golden appeared before the stage and revealed himself as the Legend Tier founder of the Heart of Gold, prompting Lord Bai and Shark Ji to prepare for a confrontation.
• Edmund Golden argued that the world belonged to the elite, but Su Ping challenged him by asking whether another genius might rise from ordinary people.
• The Sacred Dragon Legend arrived atop White Tiger’s head, and Su Ping knew he no longer needed to act alone.

Sacred Dragon Legend arrived at the Cherry Blossom Country exchange and rejected the Heart of Gold’s plan to establish a branch, asserting Dragon Nation’s authority over Sakura Island Country. After he left, Su Ping confronted Shen Qiu about the Golden Society and pressed him to reveal its president, who finally appeared and told Su Ping to stop pressuring him.

• Sacred Dragon Legend challenged Edmund Golden’s proposal and refused to allow a Heart of Gold branch in Cherry Blossom Country.
• Sacred Dragon Legend asserted Dragon Nation’s authority over Sakura Island Country and warned Edmund against establishing a soul-summoning contraption there.
• Edmund agreed to visit Dragon City to discuss the matter, and both he and Sacred Dragon Legend departed.
• Su Ping confronted the trembling Shen Qiu about the Saint Spirit Tier Stone of Imagination and asked who led the Golden Society.
• A Golden Society member from Minyue Province knelt and claimed he had been deceived into joining.
• An aged voice appeared and told Su Ping to stop pressuring Shen Qiu.

Su Ping confronted Wang Daolin, a hidden Heart of Gold insider, who summoned three Saint Spirit Tier Pet Beasts and tried to escape. Qianyi defeated them all within its Death Sword Domain, and Wang Daolin was beheaded as the domain ended.

• Su Ping recognized Wang Daolin as a member of the Wang family and rejected his request to die at White Tiger’s hands.
• Wang Daolin summoned a mechanical construct, an Earth Element giant, and an Earth Dragon, while Su Ping sent Qianyi to fight alone.
• Qianyi activated its Death Sword Domain and used its sword forms to overwhelm Wang Daolin’s three Pet Beasts.
• Wang Daolin tried to flee, but Qianyi’s attacks trapped and defeated him and his Pet Beasts.
• After the Death Sword Domain dispersed, Wang Daolin fell from the sky and was beheaded with a single strike.

Su Ping stunned the exchange meeting by revealing Qianyi’s strength, then traveled with Governor Hato to Azure Flame Island to find Fire Element Pet Beasts for Little Flame’s training. He arrived at a dangerous volcanic site where Emperor Tier beasts emerged from the vents.

• Qianyi killed three Saint Spirit Tier Pet Beasts, absorbed their souls, and advanced to Emperor Sixth Tier, raising Su Ping and Old Sha to the same tier through feedback.
• Su Ping collected the beasts’ corpses, ended the Heart of Gold’s attempt to establish a branch, and met representatives from several nations at the exchange meeting.
• Su Ping asked Governor Hato to take him to Azure Flame Island to find ten Emperor Tier Fire Element Pet Beasts, and Hato agreed.
• Su Ping traveled to Azure Flame Island to help Little Flame ignite and master its Fire Seed skill.
• Hato brought Su Ping to a sealed island above volcanic vents that periodically released magma and Fire Element Pet Beasts, including Emperor Tier beasts.

Su Ping waited for Azure Flame Island’s volcano to erupt so Little Flame could refine emperor-tier fire beasts and advance Southern Bright Li Fire. Little Flame rose to emperor rank fourth stage and revealed a flame that evaporated a vast section of sea, leaving Su Ping and Hato to reckon with its transformed power.

• After three days on Azure Flame Island, Su Ping saw the volcano erupt and fire element beasts emerge from its lava lake.
• Little Flame consumed the Fire Dragon Pearl and swiftly killed eleven emperor-tier fire element beasts, refining them into its flames.
• Little Flame advanced from emperor rank second stage to the peak of fourth stage, and its Super Fire Seed reached mastery with temperature beyond the limit and energy transformation.
• Su Ping took Little Flame out over the sea to test its new flame, and a single attack evaporated the sea across a dozen kilometers.
• The Vast Sea King Whale, a hundred li away, cried out after being scalded by Little Flame’s attack.

Su Ping returned to the Dragon Nation after Little Flame’s advancement, considering the next stages of its cultivation and the country’s growing need to demonstrate its strength. As he neared Jianghai, he learned that the Golden Clan Chief had arrived in the Imperial City and intended to enter Dragon City.

• Su Ping left Azure Flame Island after Hato promised to urge his leaders to follow the Dragon Nation, while Su Ping focused on Little Flame’s remaining Fire Seed cultivation.
• Su Ping planned to find the flames and Saint Spirit Tier opponents Little Flame needed, and reflected on the threats gathering around him and the Dragon Nation.
• Su Ping told Dong Muyun to hire Fire King Company employees without changing their treatment and to avoid harming uninvolved people as Pingyun acquired the company’s assets.
• Su Ping learned that investigations and breakups of major groups had unsettled the country, while the Mad Sage’s account and clips of Su Ping’s remarks had boosted his reputation.
• Dong Muyun told Su Ping that the Golden Clan Chief had arrived in the Imperial City and intended to enter Dragon City; Su Ping remained silent and entered Meditation during the flight to Jianghai.

Su Ping returned to the Heart of Myriad Spirits and learned that Meng Huangliang was still sealed by his self-imposed psychological suggestion. Feifei used a new Dreamheart dungeon to remove the suggestion, leaving Su Ping to reveal his Dream Entry breeding method to Meng Huangliang.

• Su Ping returned home and asked Guan Qianshan about Meng Huangliang, learning that Meng Yao viewed him as a rival in Dreamheart’s new dungeon event.
• Su Ping asked Feifei about removing Meng Huangliang’s psychological suggestion, and Feifei explained that it had built a deeper dreamscape dungeon to purify it.
• Feifei arranged for Meng Huangliang to win the dungeon and receive the reward that would unseal his self-cognition.
• Meng Huangliang defeated the dungeon’s boss, received the purification reward, and found Su Ping waiting in the empty dream world.
• Su Ping told Meng Huangliang that he had worked out the breeding method for Dream Entry.

Su Ping revealed the truth about Meng Huangliang’s Dream Entry skill and proved that Meng Huangliang’s surroundings were real, finally breaking through his self-imposed psychological suggestion. After Su Ping urged him to unseal his Beast Taming Space, Meng Huangliang’s Mental Strength transformed into Saint Spirit Tier, leaving the Dragon Nation on the verge of gaining a new Saint Spirit Beast Tamer.

• Su Ping explained that Dream Entry was a mutated skill originating from a Dream Butterfly, and Meng Huangliang’s buried memories confirmed his claim.
• Su Ping described the breeding method: a Dream Butterfly connected its Mental Connection ability to itself while its master guided its mutation with a Meditation Method.
• Su Ping revealed his Pet Beast’s dream core and explained how it could draw others into its own dream, then invited Meng Huangliang to leave Dreamheart and verify the truth.
• Meng Huangliang exited the game but remained in reality, realizing that Su Ping had uncovered his Dream Entry method and that his experiences had been dreams.
• Su Ping asked Meng Huangliang to release the seal on his Beast Taming Space, and Meng Huangliang’s Mental Strength began transforming into Saint Spirit Tier.

Su Ping cured Meng Huangliang, who awakened as Meng Yan and advanced to Saint Spirit Tier. After agreeing to stay at the Heart of Myriad Spirits, Meng Yan revealed that the secret behind his exposure in Eagle Country was called Deus ex Machina.

• Meng Huangliang’s sealed Mental Strength erupted, and he advanced to Saint Spirit Tier as Meng Yao, Zhu Hong, and Liu Fuhai arrived.
• Meng Huangliang awakened from the Cunning Eagle’s imprint and self-suggestion, thanked Su Ping, and revealed his real name was Meng Yan.
• Su Ping welcomed Meng Yan home and invited him to rest, but Meng Yan insisted he had an important secret to share privately.
• Meng Yan asked Su Ping about his accomplishments, then asked if he could remain at the Heart of Myriad Spirits; Su Ping agreed and offered him a Dragon Pet as a reward.
• Meng Yan revealed that he had been exposed in Eagle Country after uncovering a mechanical research secret called Deus ex Machina.

Meng Yan revealed that Eagle Country’s classified Deus ex Machina project aimed to create a myth-tier mechanical pet beast by using a god core to compute the world’s rules. Su Ping studied Meng Yan’s copied blueprint, and the Myriad Spirits Codex identified it as an incomplete mechanical evolution method, leaving him needing to acquire more information.

• Su Ping listened as Meng Yan explained that he had uncovered Deus ex Machina by entering the dreams of Eagle Country researchers and Breeders.
• Meng Yan described the project’s goal of replacing a mechanical pet beast’s body with a core capable of learning and controlling rules through computation.
• Su Ping doubted that computation alone could lead a mechanical pet beast to myth tier, but Meng Yan pointed out that the project’s cloud-computation methods and other ideas were still noteworthy.
• Su Ping carefully examined Meng Yan’s intricate blueprint despite being unable to understand most of its mechanical-breeding details.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex recognized an unknown mechanical pet beast evolution method but reported that its information was incomplete.

Su Ping and Meng Yan uncovered blueprints for the Mechanical God Myth, while Sacred Dragon Legend discussed the Dragon Nation’s financial strategy and Su Ping’s Dream Entry research. Sacred Dragon Legend proposed announcing news about possession type pet beasts at the upcoming Breeder Lifetime Achievement Award, and Su Ping asked whether mass production had made a breakthrough.

• Su Ping asked Meng Yan to draw out the mechanical pet beast blueprints and promised to protect him from being transferred to the Mechanical Association.
• Sacred Dragon Legend arrived, praised Meng Yan’s contributions, and let him stay with Su Ping to continue breeding research.
• Sacred Dragon Legend told Su Ping that Edmund had visited Dragon City and discussed establishing a Dragon Nation-controlled financial market instead of allowing the Heart of Gold to operate there.
• Su Ping explained Dream Entry to Sacred Dragon Legend and confirmed that he wanted Meng Yan’s help developing the skill.
• Sacred Dragon Legend suggested announcing news about possession type pet beasts at the Breeder Lifetime Achievement Award, and Su Ping asked if mass production had advanced.

Su Ping organized his urgent research and cultivation priorities before receiving Meng Yan’s Myth Mechanical Core blueprints. After reading the schematics, he discovered the Myriad Spirits Codex could complete the incomplete breeding method for 10,000 Universal Experience Points.

• Sacred Dragon Legend left Su Ping with approval to reveal the new Possession Type Pet Beast, and Su Ping considered how much work he needed to finish before the conference in four months.
• Su Ping arranged to have Chairman Peng bring three candidates for an implement-type Pet Beast apprentice to the Heart of Myriad Spirits.
• Meng Yan returned with the completed Myth Mechanical Core blueprints, and Su Ping immediately began studying them.
• Su Ping spent until the following evening reading the schematics, then received a Myriad Spirits Codex notification that completing the incomplete breeding method would cost 10,000 Universal Experience Points.

Su Ping spent 10,000 Universal Experience Points to complete the Machine God Core method, then discovered that its later stages required an impractical number of Stone of Imagination cores. After recalling Feifei’s unusual origins, he wondered whether a Mystic Realm might contain the resource vein needed to make the evolution possible.

• Su Ping decided to spend 10,000 Universal Experience Points to complete the Machine God Core method, hoping it would let Feifei evolve.
• He read the method’s stages: Feifei would first connect to over one hundred Mechanical Cores, then transfer their computing power to a Void Crystal motherboard.
• Su Ping saw that the final stage required close to one hundred cores made from the original material, Stone of Imagination, and regretted spending the experience points.
• Su Ping remembered that Feifei had been born inside the core of a Stone of Imagination vein and wondered whether such a vein existed in the Mystic Realm linked to the Spatial Entrance moved by the Mirror Saint.
• Su Ping considered whether Feifei and the Giant Stone Mountain Spirit, Taishan, might both have come from that Mystic Realm.
