Su Ping established the Global Breeder Mutual Aid Association to protect breeders amid rising violence and received its first request for help from Master Breeder Nogu Yesi. After hearing that Nogu’s family and breeding method were threatened by Hulk, Su Ping began arranging mediation and warned Nogu to prepare for the family’s relocation.

• Reports from Linzhou, Jianghai, and Dragon Nation publicized Su Ping’s mutual aid association, and breeders began considering whether to join.
• On the association’s fourth day, Nogu Yesi arrived at its headquarters in Pingxin District and sought protection from Hulk, a Saint Spirit Tier beast tamer in Horse Country.
• Nogu explained that Hulk resented his refusal of an investment and was threatening his family to seize his Wind and Thunder breeding method.
• Su Ping outlined the association’s rules for mediation, protection, and intervention, then said it would invite Hulk to negotiate with Nogu.
• Su Ping warned Nogu that his family and breeding base remained vulnerable in the Western Continent, and Nogu offered to bring his family to Dragon Nation if the crisis was resolved.

Su Ping accompanied Zhu Hong to Horse Country to mediate Nogu’s dispute with Hulk and strengthen ties between the two nations. Hulk agreed to settle the dispute, and Su Ping secured a trade and distribution partnership before returning to the Dragon Nation with Nogu.

After the Mutual Aid Association’s first mediation succeeded, Su Ping planned his next priorities: helping Shark Ji, awakening the Spring God, developing Little Time, and eventually choosing a final Contracted Pet Beast. He also listed several breeding projects to pursue while the Sacred Dragon Legend prepared to enter the Dragon Gate.

• Su Ping publicized the Mutual Aid Association’s peaceful resolution of Nogu’s affair, which reassured Breeders and established a member-supported approach to mediation.
• Su Ping resolved to sever Shark Ji’s connection to the Water Venerable and considered how to find the Elixir of Immortality, the Sea God’s Eye, and a Star Core to awaken the Spring God.
• Su Ping decided to focus on developing Little Time and to contact Ye Zhou about collaborating on research into time-based abilities.
• Su Ping considered insects and Plant Element Pet Beasts for his final Contracted Pet Beast and recalled the Webweaving Gray Spider that had become Gu King.
• Su Ping planned to complete the Rainbow Dragon’s breeding, develop Guigui, and explore the Sea-Core Spirit Turtle’s connections to the Vast Sea Mystic Turtle species.

Su Ping prepared to separate Shark Ji from the Water Venerable by forging her a new soul origin and transferring her soul, with Taiyin Water to preserve her power. As he began refining the soul materials, an unseen figure beneath the sea sensed that the process was about to start.

• Su Ping reviewed the three stages needed to free Shark Ji from the Water Venerable and explained the risks of creating and tempering a new soul origin.
• Shark Ji admitted she trusted Su Ping to protect her if the Water Venerable came for her, and Su Ping said he was ready to begin.
• Su Ping asked why the Water Venerable had not recalled Shark Ji; she said her main body had gone to the Endless Sea to recover its power, perhaps in Fish Nation.
• Su Ping dismissed his concern about the Water Venerable and spread his mental power through the warehouse of Soul Crystal Stones to begin refining a new soul origin.
• A hidden figure beneath the sea looked east and whispered that the process was finally about to begin.

Su Ping refined the soul crystals into a soul essence that allowed Shark Ji to sever her connection to the Water Venerable, though the process cost her two ranks and left further purification ahead. Shark Ji’s transformation illuminated the Water Elemental Spirit entry in the Myriad Spirits Codex, granting Su Ping Water Element Mastery and strengthening his combat-related talents.

• Su Ping used his Mental Strength and Soul Rule comprehension to refine Shark Ji’s soul crystals into a soul essence.
• Shark Ji absorbed the soul essence and erased the Water Venerable’s imprint, falling from Legend Fourth Rank to Legend Third Rank.
• Shark Ji drank Taiyin Water to slow her decline, but eventually settled at Legend Second Rank and confirmed she was disconnected from her original body.
• Su Ping explained that Shark Ji would need years of soul purification before her rank could recover and advance.
• The Myriad Spirits Codex illuminated the Water Elemental Spirit entry, upgraded Su Ping’s Water Element Affinity to Water Element Mastery, and enhanced Elementalization.

After Shark Ji fulfilled their agreement, Su Ping awakened Water Element Mastery and realized it had absorbed his Underwater Breathing talent. He considered how developing his many talents could help him advance beyond Saint Spirit Tier, then learned that Ye Zhou was on his way to Linzhou.

• Shark Ji awakened Su Ping's Water Element Mastery after their intimacy reached the required level, and the new talent absorbed Underwater Breathing.
• Su Ping reflected on how Beast Tamer talents could be improved through use, meditation, and lighting up more Pet Beast entries in the Myriad Spirits Codex.
• Su Ping considered focusing his plans on advancing his realm and talents while continuing to seek Pet Beasts and resources for his other goals.
• Feifei told Su Ping that Ye Zhou had called fourteen times, and Ye Zhou said he had left the Hall of Time and would reach Linzhou in twenty minutes.

Su Ping and Ye Zhou discussed how Xiaoshi might use its time abilities to resurrect people from the past, and Ye Zhou shared two possible approaches proposed by Torch Dragon. The chapter ended when Su Ping revealed that he possessed the rare Echoes of History talent they needed.

• Ye Zhou revealed that he had reached Emperor rank first stage after training under Torch Dragon, and summoned Xiaoshi to show Su Ping its progress.
• Xiaoshi praised Su Ping in writing and rebuffed Ye Zhou when he claimed credit for its abilities.
• Ye Zhou explained that Xiaoshi could travel into the past and create projections but could not bring a historical figure's remnant soul back to the present.
• Ye Zhou described Torch Dragon's suggestions: improve Xiaoshi's rank and Time Flies Like an Arrow, or use someone with the rare Echoes of History talent to help Xiaoshi connect with a past being.
• Su Ping told Ye Zhou that he possessed the Echoes of History talent.

Su Ping and Ye Zhou discussed how to advance Little Time while preserving its crucial Time Element skills, settling on a Tool Type evolution plan. Su Ping then raised the Book of Time’s Codex level and began joint skill training with Little Time.

• Ye Zhou was shocked when Su Ping revealed that he possessed the rare Time Element talent Echoes of History.
• Su Ping admitted he was unsure how to advance Little Time, and Ye Zhou proposed strengthening its Dragon Soul or continuing its Tool Type development.
• Ye Zhou described two Time Element smelting methods, including Jiang Xuanji’s Years of Time Smelting Method and the Immortal Saint’s method of soaking resources in time-infused water.
• Su Ping and Ye Zhou agreed to focus on raising Little Time’s skill proficiency while preserving its important skills, and Ye Zhou outlined resources for its future evolution.
• Su Ping spent 3,500 Codex Experience Points to raise the Book of Time’s Codex level to lv3, selected Connection Sharing, and began joint skill training with Little Time.

Su Ping advanced to Saint Spirit Fourth Rank and upgraded his Heart's Eye into the All-Knowing Eye by illuminating the Mountain Dog entry in the Myriad Spirits Codex. The Codex said the ability could not be improved further until he reached Legend Tier, and Ye Zhou called to say Xiao Shi was ready for its first evolution.

• Su Ping gathered many canine Pet Beasts in the Heart of Myriad Spirits and continued developing his innate abilities through the Myriad Spirits Codex.
• After two months of rapid progress, Su Ping reached Saint Spirit Fourth Rank, and Feifei, Xiao Huo, and Yaya advanced as well.
• Su Ping earned the Mountain Dog's trust by feeding it soft steel stones, illuminating its Codex entry and upgrading Heart's Eye to All-Knowing Eye.
• The All-Knowing Eye revealed the Mountain Dog's temperament, skill-fusion potential, and possible evolution directions, but the Codex said further advancement required Legend Tier and independent study.
• Su Ping decided to focus next on improving Mind Communication, and Ye Zhou called to say Xiao Shi was ready for its first evolution.

Su Ping and Ye Zhou evolved Xiaoshi into a History Book, but its Time Flies Like an Arrow skill limited its growth and left its future uncertain. Su Ping vowed to find a way past the restriction, and Ye Zhou became excited by the prospect of creating a Myth Tier Time Element skill.

• Su Ping watched Ye Zhou use divination pages, Soul-Calming Paper, dragon saliva, and Chenlong's Dragon Orb to fuse resources with Xiaoshi and begin its evolution.
• The evolution succeeded, but instruments measured Xiaoshi's energy at only Monarch Rank despite the lavish resources, and Su Ping and Ye Zhou suspected Time Flies Like an Arrow suppressed its growth.
• Xiaoshi emerged as a larger, ancient-looking book, and Su Ping's All-Knowing Eye identified it as a Monarch Second Rank History Book with four Super-Rank Skills and Monarch Tenth Rank potential.
• The All-Knowing Eye warned that Xiaoshi's evolution might be its endpoint unless it could break the restriction on Time Flies Like an Arrow.
• Su Ping promised to help Xiaoshi overcome the restriction, and Ye Zhou grew excited at the possibility of creating a genuine Myth Tier Time Element skill.

Su Ping and Ye Zhou discussed how Xiaoshi might evolve Time Flies Like an Arrow from observing history to retrieving the souls of the dead. Su Ping proposed that he personally travel into the past with Xiaoshi to overcome the skill’s one remaining obstacle.

• Su Ping concluded that Xiaoshi’s skill needed to influence the past, since the many possible futures made the future too difficult to change.
• Over a meal, Su Ping explained that changing established events such as Nie Chuan’s death would be nearly impossible, but retrieving a dead person’s soul might have little effect on history.
• Su Ping outlined requirements for recording a historical figure: an ancient relic as an anchor, reaching the figure as their soul remained or dissipated, and protecting that soul on the return journey.
• Ye Zhou asked how Xiaoshi could affect the past and contact a dead person’s soul, and Su Ping admitted that they needed practical experimentation to find out.
• Su Ping revealed that he intended to place his soul or consciousness inside Xiaoshi and travel with it into the past.

Su Ping used Hour's Time Flies Like an Arrow to travel into the past, carrying part of his soul and anchoring the journey with Nie Chuan's bracelet. He reached the East Sea forty-six years earlier, arriving at the time and place he had chosen to investigate Nie Chuan.

• Ye Zhou objected to Su Ping risking a journey through time, but Su Ping argued that Hour could carry him through their Soul Contract.
• Hour agreed to take Su Ping to July 19, New Calendar 182, eighty kilometers west of Giant Whale Island, to connect with Nie Chuan.
• Su Ping spent three days preparing and obtained Nie Chuan's old Sea-Blue Bracelet to help anchor the journey.
• Su Ping merged a dragon-shaped portion of his soul with Hour's and perceived the River of Time as Hour traveled against its current.
• Su Ping glimpsed his grandfather Su Chongguang and his mother Rong Chun in the River of Time, then arrived in an azure sea forty-six years in the past.

Su Ping traveled through time to witness the assassination of Nie Chuan and discovered that the barrier between dimensions prevented him from changing the past. As he and Xiaoshi began to return, Su Ping felt a mysterious force pulling him along the River of Time.

• Su Ping sensed that he could observe the past but could not affect it because of the barrier between dimensions.
• A Vast Sea Whale surfaced with Nie Chuan aboard, and Su Ping watched as attackers killed them both.
• Su Ping asked Xiaoshi to give up its time-element energy to merge with the past, but Xiaoshi refused, fearing it would become lost in the River of Time.
• After the assassination, Xiaoshi began bringing Su Ping back, and Su Ping felt an unfamiliar force calling and pulling him through time.

After returning from his journey through time, Su Ping gained a major boost to his mental strength but found no way to overcome the separation between eras. He proposed deceiving the River of Time so it would pull a dead soul into the present, and he and Ye Zhou prepared to seek Old Zhu's help.

• Su Ping recovered from his time journey and advanced to saint spirit fifth stage, while his pet beasts showed little progress.
• Su Ping concluded that affecting the past directly was impossible with Xiaoshi's current abilities and considered whether time's own pull could bring a dead soul into the present.
• Su Ping searched the Breeder Forum for time-element resources and skills that might support his theory, but found no immediate answer.
• Su Ping told Ye Zhou about his findings and proposed solving the problem one step at a time by deceiving the River of Time.
• Ye Zhou agreed to help and suggested that they go see Old Zhu.

Su Ping and Ye Zhou visited Torch Dragon to seek a way to overcome the obstacle in Xiaoshi’s time-travel skill cultivation. After reviewing the problem, Torch Dragon found a potentially suitable Super-Rank Skill called Time Correction, leaving them to consider whether it could help.

• Su Ping reflected on Dragon City and the risks Lord Sacred Dragon might face while searching for the Dragon God, then agreed with Ye Zhou to visit Old Zhu.
• Torch Dragon appeared and took Su Ping, Ye Zhou, and Xiaoshi to the Hall of Time.
• Ye Zhou explained that Su Ping and Xiaoshi had traveled into the past and described their difficulty affecting past events from present reality.
• Torch Dragon searched the Hall of Time’s knowledge and found a special Super-Rank Skill called Time Correction.

Su Ping and Ye Zhou explored whether Time Correction could help pull the souls of historical Beast Tamers into the present, and Su Ping perfected a breeding method for the skill. Back at the Heart of Myriad Spirits, Ye Zhou began preparing to breed it into Xiaoshi while Su Ping turned to other projects, including the Rainbow Dragon's final evolution.

• The Torch Dragon explained that Time Correction could influence the River of Time without directly changing historical events, giving Su Ping a possible way to draw departed souls into the present.
• The Torch Dragon warned that the method might be harder to use for powerful Beast Tamers whose deaths and mystic realms had shaped history.
• The Torch Dragon gave Su Ping a Universal Clock and its records, and the Myriad Spirits Codex let him perfect the incomplete Time Correction breeding method.
• Su Ping handed Ye Zhou the perfected method and tasked him with breeding Time Correction into Xiaoshi, prompting Ye Zhou to complain that he would claim credit if they succeeded.
• Su Ping planned to work on other breeding projects, including Guigui's evolution and the Dreamlike Aurora Butterfly's final evolution into the Rainbow Dragon.

Su Ping used the Rain Prayer Technique to create the weather needed for the Dreamlike Aurora Butterfly to evolve into a Rainbow Dragon. As a rainbow appeared over Waterheart, the Butterfly flew into its light and began evolving in midair.

• Su Ping gathered Water Element energy over Waterheart and summoned a heavy rain with the Rain Prayer Technique.
• Su Ping fed the Dreamlike Aurora Butterfly the resources required for its evolution while Meng Yao and the Ice Dragon King watched.
• The rain stopped, and sunlight revealed a rainbow above Waterheart.
• The Dreamlike Aurora Butterfly flew into the rainbow and began evolving into a Rainbow Dragon.
