• Lin Shen picked most of the Attribute Fruit while Tian Xin struggled to reach the tree, then Tian Xin chopped off branches to collect a dozen fruits.

Lin Shen and Tian Xin watched a Humanoid Tank destroy the Giant Black Chimpanzee and drive off the Stone Brick Life Foundation, then followed it through the sword orchid forest into a crystal-filled cave. There they found a Tiger Man entwined with crystal vines, leaving Lin Shen and Tian Xin wondering how he had come to control a wild Ascension Creature.

• Lin Shen saw the Humanoid Tank fire blue, freezing bullets that shattered the Hammer Life Foundation and killed the Giant Black Chimpanzee.

• The Humanoid Tank led Lin Shen and Tian Xin through a natural cave filled with crystal plants to a large underground cavern.
• Lin Shen and Tian Xin found a Tiger Man wrapped in crystal vines beside the Humanoid Tank, and Tian Xin asked how he had arrived on Giant Ring Star.

Lin Shen and Tian Xin met Yao Gu, a legendary Tiger Race Imperial Teacher who had been stranded on Giant Ring Star for centuries. Yao Gu learned how the universe had changed and was stunned that the Supreme Race now ranked first.

• Yao Gu reacted with disbelief when he heard that the Supreme Race had risen to first place.

Demon Master Yao Gu asked Lin Shen and Tian Xin to deliver a message to Lou Ran of the Supreme Race in exchange for a tenth-turn Ice Armor Ripper, and gave them Mutated Ascension Eggs in advance.

• Demon Master Yao Gu offered Lin Shen and Tian Xin the Ice Armor Ripper if they asked Lou Ran whether his agreement with Yao Gu still stood, and gave them each a Mutated Ascension Egg.
• The Ice Armor Ripper escorted Lin Shen and Tian Xin out of the valley, and they returned to the encampment before Ximen Swordsman and the others arrived.
• Tian Xun advised them not to visit the Supreme Race yet and said she would investigate Lou Ran; Lin Shen shared Five Elements Tree King Fruits with Tian Xun and Eldest Sister.
• Lin Shen ate an ordinary Five Elements Fruit, but his visible attributes did not change, so he suspected it had increased a Hidden Attribute.
• After night fell, Lin Shen used the Mechanical Watch to teleport to Ring Mountain Planet and hunt Super Origin Dragons to strengthen Dead Powder's Soul Harvest skill.

• Lin Shen saw Lin Xiangdong standing beneath a banner declaring his wish to battle Di E Si, while Tian Xin speculated that the Supreme Race might send another ascender instead.
