• Ling Yi concluded he might need to obtain the Source Devouring Technique and decided to visit the Golden Crow Realm, where a protagonist might draw one of Lin Aotian’s clones.

Ling Yi tried to bring Lin Aotian to the Ancient Star Realm by arranging for news of Lin Yuan to reach him and drawing the provincial Martial Special Bureau’s attention to the Guixu Secret Realm. He left school intending to use Lin Aotian’s bond with Lin Yuan to protect the realm and deal with the danger ahead.

• Jiang Yao left school to help her father reform the Demon God Sect, while Ling Yi continued his routine of studying and cultivating.
• A month and a half later, Liu Yun returned by jumping onto Ling Yi’s balcony, and the two greeted each other.

• Ling Yi told Lin Yuan he intended to take first place, then faced a mocking bald student who was his political rival's son.
• Ling Yi recalled that the bald student's father belonged to the Demon God Sect and had helped cause the beast tide in the original plot.

After Ling Zhan mobilized Dafeng City’s martial practitioners to contain the threat, Ling Yi finished mining and left the secret realm, where the map showed the beast tide held outside the city.

• The little baldy taunted Ling Yi, who demonstrated his strength with punches and grew wary when the baldy hinted he might not survive the secret realm.
• Ling Yi sent warnings to Ling Zhan, Jiang Yao, Liu Yun, and Lin Aotian after seeing beast-tide markers around Dafeng City, then entered the martial examination secret realm.
• Ling Zhan detained the deputy city lord, issued a martial practitioner conscription order, and dispatched investigators to the threatened areas.

• Ling Yi mined roughly three thousand Yuan Crystals with help from his primordial spirit clones and ended his martial examination early.

• Ling Yi saw that Dafeng City's defenses were holding against a weaker-than-expected beast tide, left a Primordial Spirit Clone to deceive his parents, and flew away with Liu Yun.
• Lin Yuan emerged from a secret realm with a Demon God Sect member who admitted responsibility for the beast tide and threatened her, then ran home to check on her parents.
• Lin Aotian immobilized the little baldy and killed him for threatening Lin Yuan, then wondered whether Ling Yi's lack of local Karmic Luck meant he was subject to a higher-level force.
• Ling Yi used a storage cabinet to carry Yuan Crystals and activated the Myriad Realm Disc, which identified the Golden Crow Realm as a low-ranked world.
• Ling Yi and Liu Yun traveled through the Myriad Realm Disc and arrived at a hot, sand-swept location where Liu Yun realized the Teleport Array was ancient and might not be on Golden Crow Planet.

Ling Yi and Liu Yun arrived on Forgotten Planet, where Ling Yi rapidly advanced to Sea Contemplation realm great perfection and set out to find Lin Aotian's clone. They found a settlement of powerful, starving criminals digging worms for food, and the chapter left them approaching the oasis around which the settlement stood.

• Liu Yun identified their location as Forgotten Planet in the Forgotten Star System and explained that the surrounding meteorite belt made escape difficult.
• Ling Yi broke through from Qi Condensation to Sea Contemplation realm great perfection as the Heaven Devouring Art absorbed Genki, and his Devouring Talent rose to A-rank.

• After flying for hours, Ling Yi found numerous powerful but emaciated people digging up and eating white worms.
• Ling Yi and Liu Yun continued toward an oasis surrounded by wooden houses.

Ling Yi and Liu Yun reached an oasis on the Forgotten Planet, where Zhao Jin and Gao Fengyang enslaved people as blood food. Ling Yi freed the captives and created a river while settling in to wait for Lin Qianjiu and the cultivation technique he wanted.

• Ling Yi recognized Zhao Jin and Gao Fengyang, incapacitated them, and turned their magical treasures against them.

• Ling Yi told Liu Yun he planned to wait at the oasis for Lin Qianjiu, whose technique he wanted to obtain.
• Ling Yi sent Liu Yun back to Blue Star through the World Disc to buy supplies for their stay.
• Ling Yi used Cold Yang Fire to melt ice into a river, and the oasis's residents rejoiced at the clean water.

Ling Yi told the oasis’s cultivators that they would have to build a second Sacred City if they wanted him to stay, then focused on cultivation and studying the Slave Contract Talisman. His powerful Primordial God let him inspect the talisman’s Genki Marks and connections, while he continued seeking the Source Devouring Technique and Forgotten Planet’s hidden secret.

• Zhu Siming asked whether the oasis’s water would last, and Ling Yi learned that he had killed hundreds while fleeing the Liu and Zhu Clans before the Myriad Worlds Alliance sent him to Forgotten Planet.
• Ling Yi refused to promise he would stay and told the gathered cultivators to transform their run-down settlement into a second Sacred City.
