• Su Ming handed control of Little Spiky Head to Miao Xin and recalled Miao Mu advising him that his great value would attract competing interests and require finesse.

Miao Xin agreed to limited experiments on Little Spiky Head, while Su Ming set firm terms and halted negotiations when Jisu pushed for more. He then imposed new safeguards on Sangzi Group’s research into the transfer, leaving Sangzi to respond to his demand for independent oversight.

• Miao Xin agreed to experiments only if plans were submitted a week in advance, any warning signs ended them immediately, and each session lasted no more than two hours with seven days between sessions.
• Miao Mu advised Su Ming to cooperate with research while protecting Miao Xin, and Su Ming said she accepted research on Little Spiky Head but not frequent tests.
• When Jisu urged more frequent experiments, Su Ming abruptly cancelled the plan, making clear that Miao Xin and he would set the terms.
• Sangzi showed footage and analysis of Little Spiky Head transferring machinery, then asked to conduct further observation and research into the process.
• Miao Mu warned Su Ming that the physicists might take dangerous risks for spatial research and advised him to set rules, create competing oversight, and give them other work.
• Su Ming asked Sangzi to submit experiment plans for review, accept specific safety limits, and allow another research group to supervise; Sangzi objected that her group already followed careful review and supervision.

Su Ming arranged oversight for Sangzi’s research and agreed to work with the Harvest Machinery Factory, while he and Miao Mu discussed how mutual interests could protect their cooperation. Meanwhile, Miao Xin’s helicopter crashed after a powerful Resentment Mark appeared, and Diodos forced Broken Wing’s spirit to explode.

• Su Ming required an oversight group for Sangzi’s experiments and destroyed her paper report, then accepted the Harvest Machinery Factory’s aircraft proposal.
• Miao Mu explained that cooperation and mutual benefits could protect Su Ming, and Su Ming said Jin Rongjia wanted to go fishing too.

• Diodos poured negative energy into the wreckage until Broken Wing’s spirit burst apart and expanded into a monstrous form.

Diodos realized the helicopter pilots’ souls were missing and fled, while Miao Xin’s team revealed that the apparent helicopter attack had been a decoy in a planned operation to catch him. Su Ming recognized that the enemy was using a Calamity Mark that could disrupt technology through causality, so he urged the command center to attack Diodos immediately as the pursuit began.

• Diodos spotted a floating hippo soul above the helicopter and realized the pilots’ souls were missing, then drove away from the scene.
• The helicopter’s figures were revealed to be robots, and Miao Xin identified Diodos from a concealed command post five kilometers away.

• An analyst identified Target 2, who had observed Miss Qiu’s crash and may have communicated with Diodos; Jin Rongjia ordered a blanket search after the suspect abandoned his car and disappeared into the forest.

Su Ming realized that testing Diodos’s hair for cesium-137 could reveal whether he had lived on Earth, while the Youth Civilization prepared to cross the Upper Ridge Mountains. In the laboratory car, Su Ming and Zijin began analyzing materials from Galio’s stronghold.

• Jin Rongjia’s team searched for Target 2 but failed to find the enemy, while Su Ming reasoned that Diodos and his accomplice had likely come from beyond Earth.
• Su Ming asked Sangzi whether it could detect cesium-137 in individual hair segments, then persuaded Jin Rongjia to test Diodos’s hair for evidence of his time on Earth.

After an experiment injured Zijin, Su Ming’s crew received a mysterious gold coin through an Animal Messenger squirrel. They discovered that the coin held a nature-related memory and asked Younier to interpret it, but its message remained unclear.

• Su Ming learned that the Rock Core experiment had emitted light at an unexpected frequency, burning the instruments and injuring Zijin’s eyes.
• A squirrel brought Su Ming a bloodstained gold coin, and Hansite recognized the delivery as an Animal Messenger spell.
• Su Ming marked the squirrel with Dark Beacon, while Zijin and the radar searched the area but found no sender.

• Leoni found a fifth captive encased in a strange cocoon, standing among explosives with a detonator, and watched her crush it before a priest’s paralysis spell could stop her.
• Su Ming’s drone footage showed Bearfolk and humans preparing the Ring of Winter beside a group of mammoths, prompting the team to plan a closer look.

Su Ming and his allies discovered that abducted girls were being held in a cavern, where Abigai was preparing them for a mysterious operation powered by the Eternal Cataclysm Star Orbit. Katharine warned that the old woman accompanying the traffickers might be a Saint Rank, but Su Ming doubted it because she was unknown.

• Su Ming identified Rupert and Father Zephlin in the footage, while Qiluo recognized a middle-aged man connected to the abductors; Su Ming sent Ge'enda'er to alert Katharine.
• In Him Cavern, Abigai carved runes into a captive girl and learned that Aiwanbei'er had arrived late because the Whitaker Family's Magic Crystal Cores were delayed.
• Aiwanbei'er revealed that he had abducted Immanuel, the Whitaker supplier's son, and brought the crystal cores; Ruogejin began installing them in the Eternal Cataclysm Star Orbit.
• Ge'enda'er contacted Katharine through the church network and reported the cavern and its captives; Katharine reasoned that the suspects were powerful because Qiluo had sensed no malice.
• Katharine said the old woman might be a Saint Rank, but Su Ming doubted it because no record of her existed.

Su Ming weighed whether to attack the Plundering Clock’s force as the group discovered that its leaders were assembling a dangerous weapon and that the old woman was a Saint Rank expert. After Katharine confirmed the threat, Su Ming ordered an immediate assault.

• Katharine warned Su Ming that the mysterious faction might have Saint Rank strength and said Yise and Silver Mask’s squad were coming to support him.

• Su Ming watched the rockets lose their guidance links, while Zijin judged Abigai to be a veteran Saint Rank with a powerful flying ring.
• Su Ming explained that the rockets could use inertial navigation and pursue the largest target, and they swarmed Abigai as she defended herself with the Star Wall.
• Zijin began preparing super-tier magic while asking Su Ming about the difference between a rocket and a missile.
• Abigai’s Star Wall crystal cores shattered, revealing them to be fake, so she activated Starlight’s damage-reflection ability.
