• Lin Wan flew away, leaving Lin Shen unable to use his Mechanical Watch or ordinary devices under the planet’s gravity.
• A huge white tiger with green-glowing eyes appeared and stared at Lin Shen.

Lin Shen fought a powerful white tiger on the Neutron Star, relying on Dead Powder to restrain it and striking its pressure points until it could no longer move. Before he could recover, a larger white tiger arrived, and Lin Shen tried to repeat the tactic.

• Lin Shen struggled against the Neutron Star’s gravity and dodged the white tiger’s pounce before striking its pressure point.
• The white tiger shrugged off Lin Shen’s blow and wounded him, forcing him to evade repeated attacks and call for Lin Wan.
• Dead Powder emerged from Lin Shen and restrained the white tiger, allowing Lin Shen to strike its pressure points until it stopped moving.
• A larger white tiger charged at Lin Shen, who dodged its attack and drew its attention while Dead Powder wrapped around it.

Lin Shen and Dead Powder held two nearly invulnerable white tigers at bay, then captured their four cubs when they arrived. The adult tigers remained in a tense standoff, growing increasingly agitated as they watched the cubs.

• Lin Shen repeatedly used Pressure-Point Strikes to keep the two adult white tigers from moving, but could neither kill nor drag them away.
• Lin Shen spotted four white tiger cubs and tried to grab one, but it struck him hard enough to crack his shell and send his arm flying aside.
• Dead Powder bound all four cubs, and Lin Shen used them to keep the two adults from charging closer.
• The adult tigers paced and watched Lin Shen and Dead Powder, then grew more violent and repeatedly looked in one direction.

Lin Shen followed the Big Tigers and the Xiao Bai Tigers into a hidden cave as strange violet light transformed the world outside. The Big Tigers fed the group glowing Foxtail Grass, and Lin Shen discovered that eating it increased his attributes.

• The Big Tigers urgently led Lin Shen and the Xiao Bai Tigers toward a boulder as violet light spread across the sky.
• Lin Shen freed the Xiao Bai Tigers from Dead Powder’s restraints, and they all reached the boulder before the violet light overtook them.
• One Big Tiger moved the boulder to reveal a cave, and Lin Shen and the tigers went inside before the other Big Tiger sealed the entrance.
• The Big Tigers fed the Xiao Bai Tigers and Lin Shen blue, crystalline Foxtail Grass while they watched the glowing cave ceiling.
• Lin Shen ate the Foxtail Grass and felt his attributes increase.

Lin Shen remained trapped in the underground cave with the white tigers while the purple light outside stayed dangerous and other predators roamed Fallen Star Land. When two newcomers arrived nearby, the tigers prepared an ambush, and Lin Shen heard an older man say he had come to capture a White Tiger as a pet.

• Lin Shen gained substantial Strength, Speed, Hardness, and Toughness by devouring Yang Soul Grass, then kept his distance from Big Tiger.
• Lin Shen stayed in the cave because the purple light outside was growing stronger and he could not move the boulder blocking the exit.
• Big Tiger returned from hunting with a dead, six-legged, horned creature, and Lin Shen let the Dead Powder-controlled little tiger join the others in drinking its Gene Mutation Fluid.
• Lin Shen watched the tiger family eat and play, then saw both Big Tigers react to something outside and hide the little tigers deeper in the cave.
• Lin Shen heard two men approach, and an older man said he had come to Fallen Star Land to capture a White Tiger as a pet.

Lin Shen overheard two visitors from the Central Six Star Regions discuss the Immortal Court, the Ancient Realm Regions, and a powerful figure who had destroyed the South Heavenly Gate. As the visitors approached his cave seeking creatures to capture, Lin Shen reconsidered what he knew about the Immortal Court and its inhabitants.

• A young man and Uncle Xue debated whether Fallen Star Land could have produced a White Tiger and dismissed most first-generation godmen from the Ancient Realm Regions as weak.
• Lin Shen wondered whether the Immortal Court was the universe’s true center and whether Emperor Tian Shu and Lin Wan’s account of the Immortal Court fit what he overheard.
• Lin Shen recalled Demon Bone’s story of the Antarctic Chang Sheng Great Emperor and wondered whether the Central Six Star Regions were home to descendants of those who entered the Immortal Court in the flesh.
• The young man revealed that someone from the Ancient Realm Regions had entered the Immortal Court in the flesh, destroyed the South Heavenly Gate, and escaped capture.
• Uncle Xue urged the young man to leave because Fallen Star Land’s super Black Holes were dangerous, but the young man insisted on staying to capture creatures as pets and mounts.
• The two visitors continued walking toward Lin Shen’s cave.

Lin Shen survived an encounter with A Duo and Uncle Xue, who killed Big Tiger and Second Tiger while searching for the White Jade Tiger. After discovering a strange Mutation Source inside the tigers, Lin Shen faced a Six-Legged Crocodile that threatened the cubs.

• Big Tiger and Second Tiger attacked A Duo and Uncle Xue, and Uncle Xue killed both with a single slap each.
• Lin Shen pretended to be a local named A Tian, and A Duo and Uncle Xue left after dismissing the tiger cubs and corpses as worthless.
• Lin Shen found a glowing pearl in each tiger's smashed head, and his Mechanical Watch identified them as Mutation Sources of the Immortal Aberrant Species White Jade Tiger.
• A Six-Legged Crocodile entered the cave and lunged at a cub, but Dead Powder bound its jaws while Lin Shen struck its body with Pressure-Point Strikes.

Lin Shen discovered that one of the Four Little Milk Tigers had unusually sharp teeth and a metallic sheen after it killed a Six-Legged Zhu Po Dragon. With more Zhu Po Dragons flooding the cave, Lin Shen escaped with the four cubs and followed Uncle Xue’s trail, finding Zhu Po Dragon Mutation Sources along the way.

• One unusually small white tiger cub bit through the Six-Legged Zhu Po Dragon’s limbs and killed it, revealing its stronger bite and faint platinum sheen.
• More than a dozen Zhu Po Dragons entered the cave and devoured Big Tiger, Second Tiger, and the newly killed Zhu Po Dragon.
• Lin Shen used Dead Powder to lead the four cubs toward the exit, and the unusual cub made its reluctant siblings follow.
• Lin Shen and the cubs slipped past the feeding Zhu Po Dragons and headed in the direction A Duo and Uncle Xue had taken.
• Lin Shen found Zhu Po Dragon corpses with crushed heads and retrieved their black, bean-sized Mutation Sources; one began to vibrate in his hand.

Lin Shen explored the Neutron Star’s caves, discovered that one Mutation Source could transform into the Zhu Po Long Scissors, and killed a Variant Demon with help from Dead Powder and the little milk tigers. After losing A Duo and the others’ trail, he rested with the group while a strangely marked Variant Demon watched them from above.

• Lin Shen activated the Zhu Po Long Scissors with his Law Array, found that his other Mutation Sources would not transform, and collected Zhu Po Long Deformed Liquid.
• Lin Shen used the scissors to sever a Deformed Species’ neck and discovered that Dead Powder’s increased weight had raised his Strength to 10,298 points.
• A Variant Demon attacked a little milk tiger, but the special little milk tiger, Dead Powder, and Lin Shen’s Inheritance Fan weakened it, allowing Lin Shen to kill it with the Zhu Po Long Scissors.
• Lin Shen found no further traces of A Duo and the others, so he stopped to let the Four Little Milk Tigers and Dead Powder rest and replenished the tigers with Deformed Liquid.
• A Variant Demon with glowing purple eyes and bright purple markings watched Lin Shen and the resting group from the cave ceiling.

Lin Shen and the Dead Powder killed a Variant Demon Leader and obtained its Mutation Source, which transformed into a cloak with a Devil Wings trait he could not activate. He continued exploring the planetary cave with the Four Little Milk Tigers, using the cloak and hunting nearby creatures while searching for a safe route.

• Lin Shen fought the Variant Demon Leader with the Zhu Po Long Scissors, Folding Fan, and Dead Powder, which drilled through the demon and killed it.
• Lin Shen extracted the Variant Demon Leader's Mutation Source and obtained a Variant Demon Cloak, but could not meet its Speed requirement to activate the Devil Wings trait.
• Lin Shen put on the cloak, found a concealed place for the Four Little Milk Tigers, and began exploring the cave's passages while trying to locate A Duo and the others.
• Lin Shen and the Dead Powder killed nearby Variant Demons and some Six-Legged Zhu Po Dragons, and Lin Shen found that the Variant Demon's Deformed Liquid increased his attributes, especially Speed.
• Lin Shen did not find another White Jade Tiger that might have adopted the Four Little Milk Tigers.

A Duo and Uncle Xue searched an abandoned Neutron Star Spaceship for the White Tiger but instead awakened a swarm of Purple Haze Underworld Butterflies. They fought while retreating, but the butterflies kept reforming and closing in on them.

• A Duo and Uncle Xue found no mid-tier Deformed Species and suspected the White Tiger might not be on the planet, though A Duo believed the site was an abandoned Neutron Star Spaceship.
• They reached the empty Energy Chamber and discovered purple lights covering the cavern ceiling were Upper Deformed Species called Purple Haze Underworld Butterflies.
• Uncle Xue released his pets and pushed A Duo toward the exit, but the butterflies ignored the pets’ attacks and left them collapsed with purple marks.
• Uncle Xue used his Blood Dragon Blade to shatter the pursuing butterflies, but they reformed and continued after him.
• A Duo stayed to help Uncle Xue, using her green jade bow and Light Arrows as they fought and retreated from the seemingly endless swarm.

A Duo and Uncle Xue tried to escape a swarm of Purple Haze Underworld Butterflies by sealing a passage, but a strange Purple-Clad Butterfly Woman killed Uncle Xue and overcame A Duo’s Sun Chasing Great Art. Lin Shen later found someone lying motionless in a cave passage.

• Uncle Xue held back the Purple Haze Underworld Butterflies while A Duo searched for a way to seal the passage.
• A Duo brought down the passage ceiling and a crystal wall trapped the swarm on the other side.
• A Purple-Clad Butterfly Woman passed through Uncle Xue’s armor and killed him, then pursued A Duo.
• A Duo used the Sun Chasing Great Art to flee along the shadow of the River of Time, but the Purple-Clad Butterfly Woman kept pace and entered her head.
• Lin Shen explored a new cave and found someone lying motionless in the passage ahead.
