Chapter Summaries

Yang Yi tried to remove a statue’s arm to use in a spell, but discovered that the statue could speak and that its bones were extraordinarily hard. After learning that Norton was a legendary creature, Yang Yi abandoned his plan to dig underground and decided to replace his own limbs to raise his attributes before facing the Giant Knight.

• Yang Yi inspected the statues and chose Norton, Champion of the Horned People, as a source of spell components.
• Yang Yi repeatedly struck Norton’s statue, heard its voice and other voices around him, and lost over ten points of Sanity.
• Yang Yi used surgical techniques to remove Norton’s right arm and learned that its strength was 35 and its agility was 21.
• Yang Yi realized Norton was a legendary creature and that the Giant Knight might be even stronger.
• Yang Yi abandoned his plan to use limb explosions to dig underground and decided to replace his limbs to improve his attributes.

Yang Yi used Limb Restoration Spell to graft a powerful arm from the Horned Champion and a swift lower body from a Silver Centaur, while the Maw of Gluttony’s voices threatened his Sanity. After recovering with crystallized tea leaves and cigars, he continued searching the statues for more limbs to prepare for the Giant Knight.

• Yang Yi attached the Horned Champion’s modified right arm, which gained strength and could fire movable horns.
• The graft’s voices drove Yang Yi’s Sanity down to 31, so he fed crystallized tea leaves and cigars to the Maw of Gluttony and recovered to 47.
• Yang Yi smashed a living statue and harvested the lower half of a Silver Centaur for another graft.
• Yang Yi used Limb Restoration Spell to attach the mutated Silver Centaur’s lower body, gaining speed, jumping ability, and the ability to run on water briefly.
• Yang Yi adjusted to galloping on his new body and continued searching the statues for another useful limb.

Yang Yi grafted a Burrowing Dragon Lizard's tail and an Evil Eye's eyeball onto his body, gaining powerful digging and vision abilities. After raising every attribute except Spirit to 30, he advanced to legendary status and received the title "Fool."

• Yang Yi cut off the Burrowing Dragon Lizard's crystalline tail and grafted it onto his chest.
• Yang Yi dug up an Evil Eye's eyeball, attached it to his left shoulder, and gained enhanced perception and searing-beam attacks.
• Yang Yi's new eyeball let him see colors, magnify distant views, and monitor his surroundings without blind spots.
• A notification confirmed that Yang Yi had advanced to legendary status and received the title "Fool" after meeting its attribute prerequisite.
• Yang Yi checked his panel and found that his attributes had broken past 30 and his attribute growth experience requirement had been halved.

Yang Yi entered the Deathbirth Society’s abandoned base beneath Crystal Island and searched its records for information about the Giant Knight. He found evidence that the crystal pillar had risen from accumulated marine life, along with experimental Death Plague Stabilizer, and continued into the archive room to seek more answers.

• Yang Yi used his Burrowing Dragon Lizard’s Tail to dig through the crystal roof and break into the base.
• Yang Yi read records describing Crystalline Disease and a rapidly growing crystal pillar, confirming that accumulated marine life had pushed the Giant Knight upward.
• Yang Yi found and stored more than eighty vials of experimental Death Plague Stabilizer, which he considered selling to Yu Dawei.
• Yang Yi searched the base, collected fingers from dead Black Crow Guards for Gacha, and entered the archive room to look for information about the Giant Knight.

Yang Yi searched the Deathbirth Society’s archives and learned how its decades-long efforts to study Crystalline Disease had traced the Crystal Source deep inside the Crystal Pillar. He discovered that the source was a Polluter with a bizarre mutated heart, and the final log revealed that the source had risen toward the surface as the Society’s researchers fled its dangerous heartbeat.

• Yang Yi’s Evil Eye scanned the archive logs, which described the Crystal Pillar’s growth, the spread of Crystalline Disease, and the Society’s attempts to contain its source.
• Yang Yi read that probes had detected a living creature’s heartbeat more than two thousand kilometers inside the pillar and that the sound was linked to the Crystal Source.
• Yang Yi uncovered a crystallized illustration showing a nearly statue-like, armless man with an enormous, abnormal heart.
• Yang Yi used Three Eyes to confirm that the illustrated heart was a mutated organ, positioned on the right side of the man’s body and lacking ordinary chambers and blood vessels.
• Yang Yi read that modified Black Crow Guards with sixty hearts had located the Crystal Source at roughly three thousand kilometers deep and that the Polluter had come up toward them, forcing an evacuation.

Yang Yi learned that the Giant Knight was a Polluter with a mutated heart and found records showing that the Deathbirth Society’s attempt to contain him had failed. As the Giant Knight began to awaken, Yang Yi realized his own heart was beating inside his chest despite having left it on the ship, and heard crystal shatter nearby.

• Yang Yi told Su Na that the Giant Knight was a Polluter and sent her the research materials he had found.
• Yang Yi read the archive logs, which revealed that the Deathbirth Society had lured powerful people to Crystal Island to fight the Crystal Source, but the plan had failed.
• The Giant Knight’s heartbeat grew stronger, stirring the Living Statues and causing Su Na and Xiaoji to sense a disturbance from the Nightmare Star.
• Su Na tried to contact Yang Yi and prepared to return to the island when his sanity plunged, but he replied that he had left his heart aboard the ship.
• Yang Yi discovered that a burning-hot heart was beating inside his chest, and heard crystal shatter in the distance.

Yang Yi discovered that his new Burning Heart consumed fuel to boost his Strength while risking his Constitution, and he used Molotov cocktails to enter its overheated state. He survived the Giant Knight’s Supreme Holy Slash and identified the knight’s Giant’s Heart, which pumped blood through his crystallized body and formed replacement limbs.

• Yang Yi’s Pollution Depth reached 43%, awakening the Burning Heart, which began consuming the Horned Champion’s fingers as fuel and engulfed him in flames.
• Yang Yi calmed the Maw of Gluttony and fed Molotov cocktails into his chest, increasing his Strength while reducing his Constitution.
• Yang Yi sensed an incoming attack and used the Burrowing Dragon Lizard’s Ice Crystal Great Shield in Tower Shield Mode, but the Giant Knight’s Holy Light sliced through the shield and severed the lizard’s tail.
• Yang Yi dodged just enough to avoid being cut in half and saw the Giant Knight’s beating heart pump blood through its body, forming replacement hands and feet.
• Three Eyes identified the knight’s organ as a Giant’s Heart, which could disturb nearby hearts and strengthen its host by circulating blood through its body.

Yang Yi fought the Giant Knight, using a severed arm’s explosion to crack his enemy’s body before donning the Penitent Armor. As the Giant Knight appeared before him, the armor’s remnant soul awakened and filled Yang Yi with hatred.

• Yang Yi used Roaring Mode to break the Giant Knight’s bone blade, then charged in and sacrificed his right arm to set up an explosion.
• The Limb Explosion Spell blasted Yang Yi toward the Crystal Pillar and scattered the Giant Knight’s blood-formed body, leaving cracks in his chest.
• Yang Yi realized explosions could damage the Giant Knight and checked his declining Constitution and rising Strength as the Burning Heart’s heat worsened.
• Yang Yi put on the Penitent Armor, activating the Oath of Atonement and allowing the Forsworn Soul to invade his consciousness.
• The remnant soul cursed the Giant Knight, who hesitated at the armor’s gray light before appearing directly in front of Yang Yi.

Yang Yi fought the Giant Knight while the Maw of Gluttony became frenzied and slipped out of his control. He used Oathbreaker Slash to cut off the Giant Knight’s blood-made fist, leaving the knight collapsed and trembling on the ground.

• The Giant Knight struck Yang Yi with Supreme Holy Slash, but Yang Yi blocked it with the Broken Iron Greatsword and lost most of his left arm.
• Yang Yi pressed his attack with Flame Projection and Evil Eye beams, but the Giant Knight threw his broken sword and punched through Yang Yi’s armor.
• The Maw of Gluttony bit into the Giant Knight’s blood-filled arm, entered a frenzy, and dragged Yang Yi toward him as Yang Yi lost absolute control over it.
• Yang Yi stopped resisting the Maw of Gluttony and joined its charge, using Oathbreaker Slash to sever the Giant Knight’s blood-made right fist.
• The Giant Knight’s limbs of blood collapsed after the slash, and he fell trembling as Yang Yi taunted him about the pain.

Yang Yi’s attempt to defeat the Giant Knight by feeding its heart to the Maw of Gluttony awakened the knight’s true blood-bodied form, which repeatedly crushed Yang Yi. With only minutes left before his protection expired, Yang Yi sent Su Na a final message and prepared to use his last trump card.

• Yang Yi intensified his flames and attacked the fallen Giant Knight while the Maw of Gluttony sucked blood from the knight’s heart.
• The Giant Knight’s chest shattered, and his heart emerged to form a towering body made entirely of blood.
• The Giant Knight struck Yang Yi with a massive blood fist, triggering his Refuse Death passive and reducing his Qi and Blood to 1.
• The Giant Knight stomped Yang Yi and the Maw of Gluttony repeatedly, but the Maw kept emerging and continued stealing spilled blood.
• Yang Yi messaged Su Na to stay away and told her that the red stone was in Xiaoji’s eye socket, then decided to use his final trump card.

Yang Yi used the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs Invocation Spell to sacrifice the Giant Knight and make him vanish, but the spell continued consuming the Giant Knight’s scattered remains. It left Yang Yi unsure whether the summoning had succeeded or what would happen next.

• Yang Yi learned through the Giant Knight’s thoughts that the Radiant Holy Church used the island to imprison criminals and kept the knight lucid by sending him Light Fairies to eat.
• Yang Yi attached himself to the Giant Knight’s foot and discovered that the knight had devoured his original Light Fairy to reduce pollution and preserve his sanity.
• Yang Yi’s curses stirred hatred in the Penitent Armor, and he cast the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs Invocation Spell on the Giant Knight.
• Large, illusory spiders cut apart the Giant Knight’s body until he vanished, leaving his heart and Yang Yi behind.
• Spiders then consumed the Giant Knight’s hand in the Witch Laboratory and other scattered limbs aboard the Nightmare Star and on Crystal Island.

Su Na and the creatures on Crystal Island recovered from crystallization, while Yang Yi tried to contain the Giant’s Heart. A colossal spider phantom appeared above the island, drove Yang Yi’s sanity beyond its limits, and left the island sinking as its inhabitants lost their limbs and senses.

• Su Na removed Xiaoji’s battery and took the Stone of Truth, then discovered that her crystallized flesh had returned to normal and saw the Nightmare Star restored.
• The Crystal Pillar and dome dissolved into a hurricane and rain, while the island’s crystalline dust vanished to reveal piles of dead bodies that began to awaken and wail.
• Yang Yi rushed toward the still-beating Giant’s Heart and learned that it could trigger widespread Abyss pollution if left uncontrolled.
• Yang Yi checked his stats and found that his abilities had plummeted and his body diagram showed no limbs.
• A gigantic black spider phantom with a holy, many-limbed woman atop its head appeared, causing Yang Yi’s sanity to collapse.
• The inhabitants’ limbs, eyes, tongues, and teeth vanished, and the living island’s structure collapsed as it began to sink.

Su Na and Cui Xiya helped defeat five Screaming Demons aboard the Nightmare Star after the Crystalline Disease vanished and the ship’s crystal structures reverted to flesh. Su Na learned the Painful Wailing Cabin’s new abilities, but the chapter ended with her discovering that Crystal Island had disappeared from the sea chart.

• Cui Xiya blamed the Great Blasphemer for the Crystalline Disease’s disappearance and said she had prayed for Yang Yi, while Su Na ignored her claims.
• Su Na identified five corpse-built monsters as Screaming Demons, and she, Cui Xiya, Xiaoji, and the ship’s creatures defeated them.
• Su Na sent Xiaoji to take the Screaming Demon corpses to the Witch Laboratory and inspected the flesh-covered Painful Wailing Cabin.
• Su Na contacted Yang Yi, who reported that a storm had swept across the area as Crystal Island’s crystal pillars and dome dissipated.
• Su Na checked the sea chart and found that Crystal Island had vanished, leaving scattered groups of islands in its place.

Yang Yi survived summoning the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs, but the spell left him stripped of his limbs, organs, and most of his attributes. Blind and barely able to move, he salvaged weapons and corpses from Crystal Island while resolving not to invoke the god again unless he had no other choice.

• Yang Yi realized the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs had destroyed Crystal Island merely by appearing and checked his status, finding that he had gained nothing from the summoning besides a Burning Giant's Heart and severe penalties.
• Yang Yi concluded that he could repair himself as a Great Limb Graftor, but vowed not to use Deity Summoning again unless he had no alternative.
• Yang Yi searched the ruins for the Penitent Armor, exceptional weapons, and the motionless bodies of legendary fighters, which had also become incapable persons.
• Yang Yi's three eyes failed, so he ordered the Maw of Gluttony to collect weapons and corpses for him.
• The Maw of Gluttony gathered corpses while Yang Yi complained that the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs had made them useless as gacha or grafting materials.

Su Na returned to the waters where Crystal Island had stood and found evidence of a devastating spell, then discovered Yang Yi alive but horribly transformed. Yang Yi reattached his head, warned Su Na about the dangerous Burning Giant’s Heart in his chest, and spat out the things he had swallowed.

• Su Na and Xiaoji searched the ruined islands and found a mutilated Screaming Demon whose condition suggested a powerful being had stripped away its limbs and potential.
• Su Na suspected Yang Yi had used the Mother of Ten Thousand Limbs Invocation Spell and feared its side effects as movement stirred beneath the murky water.
• Tentacles seized Cui Xiya, but the creature that dragged her onto the deck turned out to be Yang Yi, whose head had been stomped off and placed inside the Maw of Gluttony.
• Yang Yi used the Limb Restoration Spell to reattach his head, while Su Na learned that the Burning Giant’s Heart in his chest was dangerous and difficult for him to control.
• Yang Yi warned the others to move back, then spat out corpses, potions, fragments of the Penitent Armor, and several weapons.

Yang Yi returned with legendary creature remains and other loot, only to discover the Maw of Gluttony had eaten most of the corpses and was growing stronger. Su Na investigated his crystal-shattered body and began planning the Flesh Reshaping Plan, while the Burning Giant’s Heart revealed that it could sustain him with a body of flame.

• Yang Yi and Su Na counted the recovered items, then Yang Yi discovered the Maw of Gluttony had eaten six of the eleven legendary creature corpses.
• The Maw of Gluttony argued with Yang Yi and nearly revealed a promise involving Su Na, but Yang Yi suppressed it and had Su Na sew his belly-mouth shut.
• Yang Yi told Su Na what had happened on the island and explained that his limbs and organs had vanished as the price of Deity Summoning.
• Su Na examined Yang Yi’s remaining crystal fragments and moved him to the Laboratory for tests, where the Burning Giant’s Heart used small hands to feed on a Long-Legged Sardine.
• Yang Yi’s Burning Giant’s Heart produced a body of flame with blood vessels, muscles, and internal organs, and Su Na developed a plan to restore his body using the Black Crow Guard Modification Blueprint, Grafting Surgery, and the Limb Restoration Spell.

Su Na planned a new body for Yang Yi while he recovered from his crystallized state, and Yang Yi arranged for the Nightmare Star to leave the archipelago. The chapter ended with Su Na and Yang Yi agreeing to monitor his sanity and postpone using the Stone of Truth until he recovered.

• Su Na selected creature remains and redesigned Yang Yi's body, adapting cloning and restoration techniques to create a stronger replacement.
• Yang Yi warned Su Na to keep his pollution depth under control and revealed that eating Light Fairies could reduce it.
• After examining Yang Yi, Su Na began planning his body while he left the laboratory to organize their departure from the archipelago.
• Yang Yi had Cui Xiya steer the Nightmare Star toward coordinates on the Sea Chart, with Xiaoji assisting her.
• Yang Yi told Su Na about the Witch Ronette and the possible Light of Truth organization, and warned her that the Stone of Truth might be dangerous.
• Su Na and Yang Yi agreed that he would monitor his sanity and she would wait until he recovered before considering the Stone of Truth.

Yang Yi checked the ship’s overflowing supplies, then tested several corpses on the Execution Rack to learn their Hunt effects. Near the designated coordinates, he deployed the Twilight Veil and received new weapons from Cui Xiya, leaving him with two Terrifying Screech Cannons and plans to sell the weapons.

• Yang Yi upgraded Spatial Storage Items to increase the ship’s capacity and decided he would refund buyers if the crystal diamonds he had sold turned into corpse fragments.
• Yang Yi used a sewn Chest Devourer as a Hunt and found that it increased capacity by 50,000 and doubled the chance of catching treasure chests.
• Yang Yi tested the Horned Champion Norton’s remains, which only increased ship durability by 2,000, then tested a Screaming Demon’s corpse and gained 3,000 durability and two Terrifying Screech Cannons.
• Yang Yi deployed the Twilight Veil at the designated coordinates as night approached.
• Cui Xiya delivered one Treasured weapon and one Exceptional weapon, and Yang Yi paid her 300,000 Conch Coins.

Yang Yi examined his new weapons and found the Greedy Craftsman's Hammer could repair damaged equipment, while Shen Guanquan received an urgent report that the Musician had mutated into a flesh-and-blood ship whose shrieks were causing chaos and casualties. The chapter left Shen preparing to respond to the emergency.

• Yang Yi asked Cui Xiya to watch the Crystal Ball for other ships while he inspected eight newly acquired melee weapons.
• Yang Yi chose the Blade of Wind's Blessing for Su Na and kept the Greedy Craftsman's Hammer, which could repair equipment at the cost of Conch Coins and sanity.
• Yang Yi identified several damaged items that might be repaired with the hammer and considered offering equipment repairs if the process succeeded.
• Shen Guanquan reviewed reports about exposure, player reproduction, and the Black Parrot Pirate Group before Zhao Tie Tou sent an urgent message.
• Zhao Tie Tou reported that the Musician had transformed into a flesh-and-blood ship whose shrieks were driving nearby players mad, causing chaos and casualties.

Yang Yi discovered that the crystal diamonds he had sold had reverted into corpse chunks, forcing him to refund buyers who had not used them. After settling the crisis, he sold a powerful sword and planned to explore the Death Plague Sea and contact the Deathbirth Society while waiting for Yu Dawei.

• Shen Guanquan found that his unused crystal diamonds had turned into corpse chunks, and Yang Yi received a flood of refund requests from buyers.
• Yang Yi calculated that he owed 9.07 million Conch Coins, while buyers who had already used the diamonds gained mutated buildings and weapons with unusual effects.
• Shen Guanquan led a task force to the Musician, where Wang Yuan had subdued the ship with a suona before guards tranquilized him.
• The Knight of Justice bought Yang Yi's Venomous Thorn for 13 million Conch Coins, and Yang Yi saw that his reputation had improved despite the refunds.
• Yang Yi gave Yu Dawei an Experimental Death Plague Stabilizer in exchange for five million Conch Coins to be paid later, then planned to explore the Death Plague Sea and contact the Deathbirth Society.
