Qi Sheng selected a new Novice Village site in the Senluo Forest Realm, where a Divine Realm Primordial called Foresight could predict the future but could not see higher-order rules. After 500,000 player slots were released, Jiang Luo won access to Monster World, joined his friend Mahua in the new region, and discovered that his Extraction Life Soul was exceptionally effective against plant monsters.

• Qi Sheng learned from Guide that Foresight gathered information to predict the future, but its deductions were limited by higher-order rules and could be changed by revealing their results.

After successfully cultivating a Wood Spirit Flower and awakening nature around him, he decided to report the discovery, while the Greenwood Race’s Administrator failed to secure player slots from Administrator No. 3.

• Cang Fu studied the Greenwood Race’s inherited techniques and learned how declining life strength and Earth’s scarce spiritual energy had made even basic spells nearly impossible to cast.
• Cang Fu entered the Senluo Forest Realm, sensed its abundant Life Particles, and used Growth Guidance Art to make a Wood Spirit Flower bloom.

The chapter left Number 16 excited by the prospect of turning the players into a natural disaster.
