Luo Yu’s Bee Empress broke through to level 12 overnight, making him a Junior Level Beast Taming Master, and he planned to prepare her for the upcoming Abyss Trial. The chapter left him expecting the Honey Water Bee to help him pass the Strength Assessment despite July’s lack of sea-fighting ability.

• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile took the reluctant Water Devil Beast back to Moon Reflection Lake to train it, and the others left the research institute.

• The Bee Empress reached level 12 overnight, and Luo Yu advanced to Junior Level Beast Taming Master.
• Yu Wan explained that the Abyss Trial’s first stage required participants to sail alone, fight zombie hordes, and collect crystal cores, raising doubts about whether July could help Luo Yu pass the Strength Assessment.
• Luo Yu said he would train his level-12 Honey Water Bee over the next few days and make her his main force for the trial.

Luo Yu began testing three possible evolution paths for Honey Water Bees with the Bee Empress’s help. Mental evolution failed and spatial evolution remained unresolved, but resonance evolution produced a strange change in ten bees linked to their bee king.

• Luo Yu announced a Honey Water Bee evolution project and outlined mental, spatial, and resonance-based methods.
• The Bee Empress helped a bee king develop powerful mental telekinesis, but it did not evolve into a higher species.
• Luo Yu assigned spatially talented Honey Water Bees to develop an internal space, but none had succeeded yet.
• Luo Yu gathered bees with Mental Overload and had the Bee Empress strengthen them until ten gained mental telekinesis alongside their bee king.
• The eleven bees formed a mental chain, and Luo Yu sensed a sudden change in the ten ordinary Honey Water Bees.

Luo Yu discovered that Honey Water Bees could evolve into Knight Bees through mental resonance, then used the Bee Empress and 10 spatial Bee Kings to produce a stronger variant with the potential to become Royal Knight Bees. After staying up through the experiment, he asked Yu Wan about the island’s strongest junior Beast Tamer with a flying pet, preparing to test the Bee Empress’s strength.

• Luo Yu and the Bee Empress watched 10 Honey Water Bees evolve into mid-rank Knight Bees with the Loyalty talent and Knight’s Soul ability.
• The Bee Empress recruited the Knight Bees, but they could not evolve a second time under her command; they reproduced, and their eggs were still Honey Water Bees.
• Luo Yu arranged 10 Honey Water Bees with Bee King and Power of the Void talents around the Bee Empress, and their mental networks resonated overnight.

• Luo Yu explained that a Water Devil Beast could inherit specialized talents from the Ink Fish used to evolve it, and Lin Li became excited about the possibilities.
• Lin Li said she wanted a fire-element pet beast, ideally one with both fire and ice attributes, to help her cook, and Luo Yu imagined an ice-and-fire cooking companion.

Luo Yu helped the Bee Empress discover how to contract a Soul Dependent, and the first dependent, Void Knight, gained a powerful ghost form. Yu Wan then arranged a spar between Luo Yu and her younger clansman Yu Xiang for the following morning.

• Luo Yu selected the strongest of ten Knight Bees and named her Void Knight, the first captain of the Empress’s personal guard.
• Luo Yu guided the Bee Empress to uncover her Soul Imprint ability, and she marked Void Knight as her first dependent.

• Yu Wan visited Yu Xiang and arranged for him to spar with Luo Yu at the research institute the following morning, where he would face Luo Yu’s level 12 Honey Water Bee ghost.

Yu Xiang brought his Gale Eagle to spar with Luo Yu's Bee Empress, whose Intangibility and Knight Bee soul clone overcame the bird's speed and defeated it. The Bee Empress's soul power surged after the victory, while Yu Xiang was left questioning how the battle had been legal.

• Yu Xiang arrived at the Luo Yu Research Institute and found a Thunderbolt Shrimp sweeping outside before Yu Wan led him to the arena.
• Luo Yu and Yu Xiang began a spar, matching the Bee Empress against Yu Xiang's level 14 Gale Eagle.
• The Bee Empress used Intangibility to pass through the Gale Eagle's wind attacks, but she could not catch the faster bird.
• The Bee Empress summoned the Knight Bee, which helped her corner the Gale Eagle and land six mental-toxin attacks that knocked it from the sky.
• Yu Xiang protested that the battle seemed unfair, and Luo Yu explained that the Knight Bee was a soul clone as the Bee Empress's soul power surged.

The Bee Empress defeated Yu Xiang’s Gale Eagle, evolved to a Mid-Rank Ordinary Species, and beat Yu Xiang again in an afternoon rematch. Lin Li revealed that her grandmother was the pirate captain known as the Thorn Queen and asked Luo Yu to take her to Prison Island during the Abyss Trial; Luo Yu then learned that his mother came from an influential family of musicians on the Azure Billows Continent.

• The Bee Empress defeated the Gale Eagle, fulfilled her Obsession, and rose to level 13 and Mid-Rank Ordinary Species.

• Luo Yu asked Yu Wan about his mother and learned that she came from a prominent Azure Billows Continent family of musicians whose pets had beautiful voices.

Luo Yu discovered that Honey Water Bees could develop the powerful but dangerous Demolition Master talent and planned to use it for the Bee Empress’s fighting force. Before departing for Future Town and the Strength Assessment, he bred a Bee King with Demolition Master and named him the Self-Destruct Knight.

• Yu Wan explained that an artistic Lineage had arisen from music on the Azure Billows Continent, surprising Luo Yu.
• Luo Yu checked the Ink Fish and Honey Water Bees, noting the Ink Fish breeding line was progressing and the bees had developed new Enhancement Talents.
• Luo Yu found a Honey Water Bee egg with the advanced Demolition Master talent and decided the Bee Empress should contract a dependent with it.
• Luo Yu had the Bee Empress hatch the egg and planned to breed the bee with one possessing the Bee King talent.
• Four days later, Luo Yu obtained a Honey Water Bee with both Bee King and Demolition Master talents and named him Self-Destruct Knight.
• Luo Yu planned to evolve Self-Destruct Knight into a Knight Bee using nine Bee King Honey Water Bees and considered asking Lin Li to evolve her queen bee as well.

Luo Yu left for Future Town with Shui Wuyue, carrying Knight Bees and discussing how Shui Wuyue might evolve his Giant Strength Crab. Back at the Luo Yu Research Institute, Chen Bo discovered that synthetic bee venom could temporarily and greatly enhance a living being’s attributes.

• The Bee Empress gained the Self-Destruct Knight as her second soul dependent, while Lin Li’s Honey Water Bee evolved into a Knight Bee.
• Lin Li packed food for Luo Yu, and Yu Wan asked why Chen Bo had not been joining them; Luo Yu said he was probably working in the lab.
• Luo Yu and Shui Wuyue departed for Future Island aboard the Raging Blue, and Luo Yu showed Shui Wuyue the Knight Bees he had researched from Honey Water Bees.
• Shui Wuyue asked Luo Yu about the Dependent Evolution Method and hoped to evolve his level 40 Giant Strength Crab, but worried he could not afford enough Blood of the Abyss.
• Luo Yu cultivated his Beast-Taming Space during the voyage as he worked toward the requirements for becoming an Intermediate Level Beast Taming Master.
• Chen Bo injected a White Stream Rat with synthetic bee venom and found that it temporarily gained armor comparable to that of a level 8 Iron Pincer Shrimp, prompting him to announce his Chen Bo Brand Enhancer.

Luo Yu and Shui Wuyue discussed the Alliance Hall and Luo Yu’s hopes of contracting an Abyss-Eroding Killer Whale as the Raging Blue approached Future Island. July hooked a young Abyss-Eroding Killer Whale, and Luo Yu discovered its exceptional Erroneous Evolution talent before declaring that he had fallen in love with it.

• The Raging Blue slowed near Future Island, where Shui Wuyue told Luo Yu about the powerful Abyss Level Beast Taming Master Severed Sea and the Alliance Hall.
• Shui Wuyue suggested Luo Yu could become an Alliance Heavenly King if he contracted an Abyss-Eroding Killer Whale, while Luo Yu worried about the Abyss Trial and the Dependent Evolution Method.
• July’s fishing line jolted the ship, and he hauled up a young Abyss-Eroding Killer Whale before it returned to the sea in response to a call from the depths.
• Luo Yu used the Eye of Data to identify the calf as a Level 1 Low-Rank Abyss Species with the top-tier Erroneous Evolution talent.
• Luo Yu said he was in love with the exceptional killer whale.

Luo Yu recognized the Abyss-Eroding Killer Whale’s Erroneous Evolution as a top-tier talent that could potentially let it reach Cataclysm Level, and he hoped to contract the young whale. After July unexpectedly broke through to level 11, Luo Yu and Shui Wuyue reached Future Island, where Luo Yu registered for the Abyss Trial Strength Assessment Exam.

• Luo Yu considered how Erroneous Evolution could control genetic collapse and let the Abyss-Eroding Killer Whale gain tremendous power, potentially reaching Cataclysm Level.
• Luo Yu told Shui Wuyue that killer whales were appealing, then called July back from staring at the ocean; July grew indignant at being ignored by the whale and broke through to level 11.
• The Raging Blue reached Future Island, and Luo Yu went to the Abyss Trial Association to register for the Strength Assessment Exam.
• Luo Yu listed his pet beasts as Low-Rank Ordinary Species and described himself as invincible below level 15 unless facing a Monarch; the receptionist was surprised and doubted his claim.

Shui Wuyue and Luo Yu visited the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce to buy Blood Coagulation Algae, where Luo Yu found an offer for a fire-aptitude Dripping Rain Butterfly and decided to pursue it. He captured a butterfly with a fire-related talent and asked the Bee Empress to develop it, leaving its training underway aboard the Raging Blue.

• Shui Wuyue and Luo Yu went to the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce, where Shui Wuyue negotiated for Blood Coagulation Algae.
• Luo Yu noticed the chamber's offer of five million Alliance Coins and VIP membership for a Dripping Rain Butterfly that awakened a fire ability within a month.
• Luo Yu left Shui Wuyue and used his Eye of Data to find a Dripping Rain Butterfly with the Flames of Desire talent in a roadside flower bed.
• Luo Yu captured the butterfly and returned to the Raging Blue, then asked the Bee Empress to develop its potential and awaken a fire ability.
• The Bee Empress said developing another insect's talent would take time, and Luo Yu agreed to let her try while the butterfly slept.

Luo Yu sold the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce a Dripping Rain Butterfly that had awakened a fire ability, earning VIP membership and a discount on Blood Coagulation Algae. Meanwhile, the Abyss Trial Association struggled to find him an opponent and matched him with Shi Qianqian, another young Beast Tamer with a Low-Rank Species.

• Luo Yu explained that the Bee Empress had strengthened the Dripping Rain Butterfly until it awakened a fire-element ability, fulfilling the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce's request.
• Luo Yu sold the butterfly to Deacon Qian Lai at the listed price and received VIP membership, then asked for a discount on Blood Coagulation Algae reserved by Shui Wuyue.
• Luo Yu told Qian Lai that he could reliably provide a rock-element resource better than Thousand Rock Island's Rock Goat milk, and Qian Lai agreed to follow up.
• Luo Yu and Shui Wuyue completed their Blood Coagulation Algae purchase, while Qian Lai treated Luo Yu as the central figure in their deal.
• An Abyss Trial Association staff member found that Luo Yu's two contracted beasts were both Low-Rank Species and matched him with Shi Qianqian, whose Seedling Turtle was a level-thirteen Low-Rank Ordinary Species with grass and time elements.

Luo Yu faced Shi Qianqian in the Abyss Trial strength assessment, where the Bee Empress defeated her time-type Seedling Turtle. After discovering the turtle could provide time nutrients, Luo Yu waited to invite Shi Qianqian to Mirror Moon Island.

• Luo Yu met Shi Qianqian outside their examination room, and both claimed their pet beasts were weak Low-Rank Species.
• The examiners sent them into a water arena, where Shi Qianqian summoned her time-type Seedling Turtle and Luo Yu summoned the Bee Empress.
• Shi Qianqian used Time Acceleration to raise the Seedling Turtle's life level and grow its tree into a massive weapon.
• The Bee Empress used Intangibility to pass through the Seedling Turtle's attacks and defeat it with the Explosive Spear of the King.
• Luo Yu waited for Shi Qianqian after the assessment and introduced himself as a biological researcher, hoping to invite her and her Seedling Turtle to Mirror Moon Island.

Luo Yu faced Yun Qing’s Monarch Species Radiant Tide Dragon in the assessment and defeated it with the Bee Empress, July, and a last-ditch battle of attrition. Afterward, he met Shi Qianqian at the café as they had arranged.

• Shi Qianqian declined to team up with Luo Yu until they had passed the assessment, then agreed to meet him at the café the next day.
• Luo Yu planned to invite Shi Qianqian to Mirror Moon Island by offering her a chance to grow stronger, while Shui Wuyue warned him not to provoke her powerful elder.
• Yun Qing summoned his level-twelve Lower Monarch Species Radiant Tide Dragon, and its defenses resisted the Bee Empress’s attacks despite her space ability.
• Luo Yu summoned July, whose magma injured the dragon, then used the Bee Empress’s Self-Destruct Knight to inflict a severe wound and poison it.
• Luo Yu withdrew July and kept the Bee Empress fighting until the injured Radiant Tide Dragon collapsed, leaving Yun Qing and the examiners stunned.
• Luo Yu found Shi Qianqian waiting at the café and apologized for making her wait while he bought them coffee.

Luo Yu tricked Shi Qianqian into considering a visit to Mirror Moon Island by claiming he could help her Seedling Turtle grow stronger, and confirmation that he had defeated a Monarch Species made her curious about his training method. Liu Yun agreed to bring her daughter to the island in half a month, while Luo Yu planned for the visit to help him find an Abyss Trial teammate and obtain turtle honey.

• Luo Yu told Shi Qianqian that his low-rank ordinary pet beasts had defeated Yun Qing's Radiant Tide Dragon and invited her to Mirror Moon Island to learn a special training method.
• Shi Qianqian and the beautiful woman in a qipao confirmed through an association contact that Luo Yu had defeated the Monarch Species with a Honey Water Bee Ghost and an Earth Penguin.
• Luo Yu told Shui Wuyue that he had beaten the Radiant Tide Dragon, surprising him, and then Liu Yun arrived to ask about visiting Mirror Moon Island with her daughter.
• Liu Yun agreed to visit Mirror Moon Island in half a month, and Luo Yu explained that he wanted Shi Qianqian as a teammate for the Abyss Trial and hoped to obtain her Seedling Turtle's honey.
• Luo Yu agreed to order a warship after Shui Wuyue recommended having it built on Dragon Boat Island.

Luo Yu returned to Mirror Moon Island with Blood Coagulation Algae and prepared to test the Dependent Evolution Method using the guardian deity’s Blood of the Abyss. Director Yu Lei selected Researcher Chen Zhuo as the test subject, and Chen Zhuo was stunned to learn that Chen Bo had already evolved an Ink Fish into a Water Devil Beast.

• Luo Yu discussed Dragon Boat Island’s shipbuilding industry and Kung Fu Seals with Shui Wuyue, then decided to return to Mirror Moon Island and focus on the Dependent Evolution Method.
• Luo Yu observed that the Self-Destruct Knight revived as a soul egg after self-destructing but reset to level zero, and he considered how it could fit into the team’s tactics.
• Luo Yu and Shui Wuyue returned to Mirror Moon Island and told Director Yu Lei that they had acquired Blood Coagulation Algae for the evolution experiment.
• Shui Wuyue offered his level 40 Giant Strength Crab as a test subject, but Luo Yu rejected the idea because the experiment was dangerous.
• Director Yu Lei proposed Researcher Chen Zhuo, who frequently changed pet beast contracts and could quickly sever one if the experiment went wrong; Luo Yu agreed.
• Chen Zhuo signed a confidentiality agreement about the Water Devil Beast and reacted in shock when he learned that Chen Bo had evolved an Ink Fish.

Luo Yu and the others tested the Dependent Evolution Method by having Chen Zhuo’s Blazing Armor Lizard contract an Ink Fish that evolved into a Water Devil Beast. The experiment showed that a dependent’s evolution could trigger its master’s mutation, but the Water Devil Beast’s monarch bloodline overwhelmed the lizard’s will and shattered its commander heterogeneity.

• Chen Zhuo agreed to provide a level 22 Blazing Armor Lizard, while Yu Lei, Shui Wuyue, and the others gathered the supplies for the experiment.
• Luo Yu prepared a Dominion Ink Fish and 300 other Ink Fish with different talents, then the guardian deity’s Blood of the Abyss helped the Blazing Armor Lizard condense commander heterogeneity.
• The Blazing Armor Lizard successfully contracted the Dominion Ink Fish as its bloodline dependent and gained the ability to use its Ink Spray.
• July startled the Ink Fish into fusing with the Dominion individual, and about 120 of them formed a lower monarch Water Devil Beast with ice and rock attributes.
• The Water Devil Beast’s evolution triggered the Blazing Armor Lizard to mutate into a Blazing Fire Ice Lizard with fire and ice attributes, but the backlash shattered its commander blood crystal.
• Chen Zhuo explained that the lizard’s will had failed under the monarch bloodline’s pressure, leaving the group to consider whether a stronger-willed master could preserve the dependent bond.

Luo Yu explained how the failed Dependent Evolution experiment revealed that evolving Water Devil Beasts could pass customized attributes to their Bloodline Dependents, giving July a possible path to become a Monarch Species. After the group made plans for further experiments, Yu Lei told Luo Yu that avian mutant beasts could dream into the earth’s ancient memories, and suggested July might use the terrifying visions to temper his will.

• Chen Zhuo explained that a Common Species had to remain stronger than its Monarch Dependent and possess the will to suppress its bloodline, or the Dependent could rebel.
• Luo Yu revealed that Water Devil Beasts inherited the Ink Fish’s attributes and that their evolution could also grant a matching attribute to their Bloodline Dependent.
• Luo Yu outlined a plan to give July a rock affinity through a customized Water Devil Beast, then use an Ancient Evolution Stone to help July evolve into a Monarch Species.
• The Mirror Moon Giant Crocodile agreed to continue the experiments, while Yu Wan took charge of the Water Devil Beasts as training partners for July.
• Yu Lei told Luo Yu that Scholar An Yao had found a way for avian mutant beasts to dream through the earth’s ancient memories, and suggested July could use the frightening visions to strengthen his will.

Luo Yu returned to Mirror Moon Island, inspected his breeding projects, and prepared to test whether enhanced resources could produce a new Earth Penguin evolution. He arrived at the Ancient Grotto while An Yao explored its secrets through the dreams of mutated birds.

• Luo Yu planned to train July's willpower by having him face the Water Devil Beast and use Courage Enhancement, while he prepared an agent for Shi Qianqian.
• Luo Yu reviewed the expanding Ink Fish breeding program and considered whether stronger Dominion individuals could raise the number of fish involved in fusion evolution.
• Luo Yu discovered a Honey Water Bee with Rock Element Enhancement and decided to evolve it into a Knight Bee, while delaying other new dependents for the Bee Empress.
• Luo Yu checked the Rock Goat and Fat Water Sheep breeding project and hoped Shi Qianqian's Seedling Turtle could eventually accelerate long gestation periods.
• An Yao used an Angel Dolphin's Dream Entry ability to investigate the Ancient Grotto through mutated birds' dreams.
• Luo Yu brought fermented Rock Goat milk, upgraded Rock Turtle honey, and Chen Bo's Rock Element Enhancement Agent to test a fully resourced Earth Penguin evolution.

Luo Yu evolved a Construction Master Earth Penguin into an Emperor Rock Penguin and used the result to refine his plans for July’s future evolution. He then joined An Yao in a ley-line dream, where July ignored the ancient creatures and conjured a fishing rod to fish for dinosaurs.

• Luo Yu fed the Construction Master Earth Penguin fermented Rock Goat milk, gave it several injections and the Heart of Rock, then brought it to the Ancient Evolution Stone.
• The Earth Penguin evolved into an Upper-Tier Common Emperor Rock Penguin with the advanced talent Rock Element Affinity, and Luo Yu considered using it as a construction worker.
• Luo Yu revised July’s planned Water Devil Beast familiar talents to Dominion, Rock Element Affinity, Eight-Sword Style, and Coordination Master.
• An Yao arrived and agreed to help Luo Yu and July enter a dream connected to the ley lines’ memories so July could train his willpower.
• In the ancient dream, July conjured a fishing rod, flew into the sky, and prepared to fish for dinosaurs in the river of time.

Luo Yu arranged for July to keep training against ancient dinosaurs in An Yao’s dreams and learned that July might be especially compatible with the remains of a buried Calamity Species. After returning to Mirror Moon Island, Luo Yu discussed a trade deal and was asked by Wang Defa to train his grandson, with Wang offering to donate a school.

• July hooked a mutated dinosaur in An Yao’s dream, but it dragged him down and crushed him, ending the dream.
• Luo Yu offered to provide the Angel Dolphin with nutritional supplements in exchange for daily dream training for July, and An Yao agreed.
• An Yao told Luo Yu that a buried ancient Calamity Species likely left powerful remains in the grotto, and July might be especially compatible with them.
• Luo Yu told July to focus on training before pursuing the powers of space and time, and said they might seek the Sea of Eternity and Sea of Void later.
• Luo Yu asked Qian Lai when the Seven Stars Chamber of Commerce could inspect his rock-element goods, and Qian Lai said he would give a definite answer within a week.
• Wang Defa asked Luo Yu to train his grandson and offered to donate a school for Luo Yu’s tutoring class.

Luo Yu planned to strengthen July and the Bee Empress for the Abyss Trial, including finding a monarch flying beast for the Empress to challenge. He learned of a student with a level 20 Thunderclap Eagle, the very species the Empress had admired in her previous life, and resolved to bring him to Mirror Moon Island for a fight.

• Luo Yu arranged for Wang Defa to apply to Director Yu Lei to build a tutoring school, promising the best resources for Wang Heng.
• Luo Yu decided the Bee Empress needed to evolve again and planned to find her dependent knights and a suitable flying monarch to challenge.
• Luo Yu asked Scholar An Yao to help find a young trainer with a monarch flying pet beast, and she contacted Teacher Fang at Canglan Ocean University.
• Teacher Fang said Teacher Li’s son had a level 20 lower monarch Thunderclap Eagle and was seeking a dependent for it.
• Luo Yu learned the Bee Empress had admired a Thunderclap Eagle in her previous life and asked An Yao to invite Teacher Li’s son to Mirror Moon Island.

Luo Yu and An Yao entered the dream world to investigate the lava behemoth, where Luo Yu’s Eye of Data revealed that the creature was a manifestation of the Crimson Core, an ancient relic with the power to pass on a Calamity Species inheritance. After the behemoth killed them in the dream, Luo Yu realized July and other creatures on Mirror Moon Island might carry its bloodline, and that devouring the core could bring a creature to Low-Rank Calamity Species.

• An Yao arranged for Teacher Li’s son, a Monarch Species avian pet beast, to visit in two months for an evolution experiment, and Luo Yu offered to help develop her Angel Dolphin’s abilities.
• An Yao led Luo Yu and July into her dream to observe the lava behemoth, warning them not to provoke it.
• Luo Yu, An Yao, and July saw the behemoth sleeping in the volcano, but it sensed them and killed them with a storm of lava.
• Luo Yu used his Eye of Data to identify the behemoth as the Crimson Core, a level 60 Low-Rank Calamity Species life-form with the Passing the Flame talent.
• Luo Yu concluded that July and other creatures near the relic could be bloodline inheritors, and that the Crimson Core’s original owner might have been an even higher-rank Calamity Species.

Luo Yu arranged a public demonstration of his Honey Water Bee sting training at Mirror Moon High School while preparing July to spar with a poison-type Water Devil Beast. The lesson’s painful results shocked the students and visiting Shi Qianqian, who had arrived on Mirror Moon Island with Liu Yun to seek Luo Yu’s help for a Seedling Turtle.

• Luo Yu discussed opening a cram school with Director Yu Lei and proposed free lessons for disadvantaged students, starting with a public demonstration of the sting training.
• Luo Yu inspected the new monarch training ground, learned the Water Devil Beasts were emotionally volatile, and planned to strengthen July’s poison resistance before arranging a spar with the Poison King beast at level 11.
• Mirror Moon High School students received notice of the public lesson, and Luo Yu explained that strengthened Honey Water Bee stings could permanently improve physical attributes.
• Luo Yu let nine bees sting his arm to demonstrate, then had three sting a delinquent girl, whose scream alarmed the gathered students.
• Shi Qianqian and Liu Yun arrived on Mirror Moon Island, and Yu Lei brought them to the school, where Shi Qianqian saw the students being stung and was horrified.
