Shen Heng joined the Supervision Bureau to find a cure for Xu Yuqin while growing stronger and facing Calamity Beasts, debt threats, and a school outbreak. After helping Le Gu Nan decide to stay in Linhai, he joined the fight against Stone Fire Ants at Hi Nest, where Yan Sheng and Fan Qimei's group remained in danger.
Shen Heng developed new Origin Power and combat techniques, investigated the Haiguang deaths, and trained at the Capital’s first camp. After surviving increasingly dangerous simulations and killing a Dragon Armor Beast, he gathered allies as the closing lightning ring drove Calamity Beasts toward them.
As the Ruins Realm’s influence spread, Shen Heng hunted a Firmament Breath Beast to save Xu Yuqin and helped confront growing Calamity Beast dangers. After Xu Yuqin recovered and Shen Shuning prepared to awaken her ability, Shen Heng faced Shadow Erosion alone to protect a nearby settlement.
Shen Heng evolved his ability to hear living beings and helped defend Linhai against a Sharp-Horned Rat colony, but Wang Hai and Wu Cheng died during the cold-chain center disaster. Shen Heng became the Bureau’s director, reached the Fourth Tier, and dispatched his team when Calamity Beasts attacked six locations across the city.
Shen Heng investigated the growing overlap between the Ruins Realm and Blue Star, then joined the defense of the Plateau Erosion Zone as Calamity Beasts mounted coordinated attacks. After a nuclear strike destabilized the zone and the surviving beasts withdrew, Shen Heng and Han Ling headed to a directors’ meeting.
Shen Heng uncovered how the Calamity Beasts used crystals to stabilize the Erosion Zone and led costly attacks on their strategic sites. After the Eye of Earth Marrow was destroyed, the base began building fortified cities, and Shen Heng’s forces killed the Rock Marrow Centipede while Shuofeng halted its beast tide.
Shen Heng’s forces defended cities, ambushed Calamity Beast hordes, and prepared to aid besieged settlements as the threat spread. The volume ended with Shen Heng drawing the Mirror Water Beast’s army toward his position and preparing to strike while Frontier-Pacifying City debated sending reinforcements.
Shen Heng and his allies fought powerful Calamity Beasts while defending evacuees and investigating their growing numbers. The volume ended with Xu Yu’s squad discovering that the Ruins Realm planned to sever supply lines to two cities.
The destruction of the Mountain of Truth displaced Shen Heng, Qin Yu, and many others into distorted spaces, where survivors searched for a way out and encountered new dangers. The stretch ended with Shen Heng’s group reaching a white palace as a powerful Wind-Chasing Beast approached, while Han Ling’s group escaped the Bone-Ring Beasts’ enclosure.
Shen Heng and the Calamity Beasts rebelled against the Black Rats, but their escape led them back into a mine where memories faded and control tightened. After finding the mountain routes guarded and surviving the living forest, Shen Heng and his allies had no safe way out.
No recap yet. A volume gets one once it has 100 chapters.
