• Su Ming brought Zijin fruit wine, and she silently hoped she would not lose anyone else important to her.
• A Star Sand scholar told Katharine that Yexiya’s signature differed from the real Yexiya’s handwriting, suggesting the Saint Rank swordswoman was an impostor.

• The prisoner-of-war camp football team won the championship, and Zijin presented its captain with the trophy.
• Su Ming refused the Human Bone Machine’s requests to perform heavy metal at the Pansy’s variety show because the noise might upset the dragons aboard.

Su Ming and Zijin prepared to go ashore from the Pansy and flew to Green Thorn Port to shop. They landed safely in the town square, where the goblins left them alone.

• Su Ming suggested buying Zijin a hat, and Zijin borrowed his phone before changing into clothes for town.
• Su Ming arranged for Ruixiuli and Jielusi to guard the Pansy while he and Zijin went shopping.
• Su Ming and Zijin flew from the ship toward Green Thorn Port, using their spells instead of taking a ferry.
• The pair landed in the town's central square, and the goblins kept their distance.

Su Ming and Zijin explored Green Thorn Port, where Zijin explained the port’s role in Dragon Valley’s trade. They shopped for a hat, but the goblin shopkeeper demanded an inflated price and threatened to call the guards.

• Zijin explained that Dragon Valley relied on Green Thorn Port because human and goblin companies controlled much of its trade and Dragon Valley lacked facilities for maintaining ocean-going ships.

Ruixiuli, Jielusi, and Bowers pursued Bulukka through Green Thorn Port while Su Ming and Zijin went after Saxon. Bulukka lured his pursuers to a hidden passage in the lower district, where a defensive shield blocked Ruixiuli’s attack.

• Zijin sent Ruixiuli, Jielusi, and Bowers after Bulukka while she and Su Ming pursued Saxon.
• Bulukka used disguises and the crowded streets to evade his three pursuers, but they kept tracking his magic fluctuations.
• Bulukka led the chase into Green Thorn Port’s lower district, where he grew worried that he would be driven into the open.
• Bulukka reached a hidden passage beneath wrecked alchemical machinery and retreated inside, confident the hideout would protect him.
• Ruixiuli launched a bone blade at the passage, but the goblin defensive shield activated and stopped it.

Ruixiuli pursued Bulukka into a foul underground hideout while Bowers and Jielusi guarded the entrance. Bulukka escaped the explosion through a concealed exit, but Ruixiuli had sent an undead puppet in his place and intercepted him with his companions.

Fifteen years earlier, healer Stacy and her young bodyguard Ruixiuli traveled into the Gravel Scale Desert to help Master Shadu investigate the Gravel Scale Tribe’s disrupted physiological cycles. After Shadu led them to a human village to wait for nightfall, they met the villagers and gathered medicinal herbs, ending with Stacy teasing Ruixiuli over a child mistaking him for a girl.

• Stacy and Ruixiuli lost their way in the Gravel Scale Desert before Shadu found them by following the scent of specially made skin oil.
• Shadu carried Stacy and Ruixiuli across the dunes to a human village, explaining that the Gravel Scale Tribe was active at night.
• Stacy and Ruixiuli settled in the village, where Stacy befriended the children and discussed desert ailments with the old priest.
• Ruixiuli gathered medicinal herbs with Stacy and the village children, while Lulu insisted he looked like a girl.
• Lulu grabbed Ruixiuli between the legs to confirm he was a boy, and Stacy laughed as Ruixiuli threatened to give her a massage in return.

Stacy and Ruixiuli investigated a reproductive disorder affecting the lizardmen, which had caused unintended pregnancies and threatened hatchlings after the rainy season. Their inquiry began as they learned how the tribe coped with the crisis and saw parents surrender eggs they could not keep alive.

• Shadu brought Lulu, Stacy, and Ruixiuli to the lizardman camp, where shamans explained that afflicted lizardmen were entering heat and mating uncontrollably.
• Stacy questioned the shamans and recorded the disorder’s history and spread, then proposed contaminated oasis water or a mutated food plant as possible causes.
• Ruixiuli realized the disorder threatened the lizardmen’s food supply for hatchlings, and the group decided to investigate water sources and food crops at dawn.
• Ruixiuli and Stacy met the druid merchant Leonite, and Stacy bought sun-protection ointment while Shadu bought Lulu an aloe ice pop.
• The next day, Stacy and Ruixiuli surveyed water sources and food crops with Shadu’s guidance before returning to Date Camp.
• A lizardman couple gave their eggs to the shaman because the drought made the hatchlings’ survival unlikely, and the shaman prepared to bury them in the ancestral land.

Stacy, Ruixiuli, and Shadu investigated the lizardfolk’s Out-of-Season Estrus Disorder with help from Lulu, a knowledgeable young guide. Lulu’s map-reading revealed that the disorder followed caravan routes, and the group set out to pursue the suspicious merchant Leonite.

• Lulu convinced Stacy and Ruixiuli to let her guide their desert investigation, and Ruixiuli treated the cuts on her hands from weaving yucca gloves.
• Over two days, Lulu led Stacy, Ruixiuli, and Shadu between water sources and edible plants as they searched for signs of contamination or disease.
• Stacy found no abnormal substances in food plants or pathogens in the wild animals they examined.
• While looking at Stacy’s map, Lulu recognized that its marked lines resembled caravan routes, leading Stacy to suspect that someone had caused the disorder deliberately.
• Ruixiuli connected the disorder’s five-year timeline to Leonite’s arrival, and Shadu decided to investigate her caravan.
• Lulu said Leonite had left for Salt Flat Camp and offered a shortcut, so Shadu prepared to pursue her before morning.

Ruixiuli, Shadu, and Lulu pursued Leonite and discovered that she was transporting lizardman eggs, but their confrontation turned into a battle when Leonite attacked. Shadu revealed himself as a Saint Rank war shaman and overwhelmed Leonite with his sand magic.

• Lulu guided Ruixiuli and Shadu along a hidden path to the main road, where they followed fresh camel tracks toward Salt Flat Camp.
• Ruixiuli found lizardman eggs among Leonite's caravan cargo, but Shadu halted him because Leonite had legally bought them under the Desert Trade Convention.
• As Ruixiuli and Shadu pretended to retreat, Lulu accused Leonite of casting the spell that made lizardmen go into heat, prompting Leonite to attack.
• Leonite struck at Ruixiuli and Shadu, but Shadu blocked her claws with an ancient staff while Ruixiuli sent Lulu away from the fight.
• Leonite ambushed what she thought was Shadu, only for the figure to crumble into sand; Shadu then trapped her in a sandstorm and revealed he was a Saint Rank war shaman.

Dragons gathered to witness Zijin’s trials, and she demonstrated her strength before teaching Su Ming how to fight a larger opponent. At the Land of Ancestral Spirits, the bloodline ritual began: Zijin’s elemental power was suppressed, and Su Ming was prepared to receive the Whispers of the Stars origin.

• Mo Yuan explained that dragons had gathered to see Zijin, and she defeated a Blue Dragon and a Red Dragon by using her domain and Wing Cross-Joint Binding Technique.
• Zijin appointed Su Ming to fight a young Green Dragon in her place, and he defeated the dragon by dispelling his flight magic and disrupting his perception, though the dragon’s breath blasted him into the woods.
• Stacy led Su Ming and Mo Yuan to the altar and explained how the Dragon Race used its array to purify bloodlines; Zijin then stopped Stacy from stripping Su Ming under the pretext of a medical examination.
• Stacy and the elders activated the array, suppressed Zijin’s elemental power, and used its runes to remove the purple scales from her chest.
• Zijin leaned her forehead against Su Ming’s, and Grand Elder Zhimeng restarted the array while Stacy suppressed Su Ming’s mental domain to prepare him for the Whispers of the Stars origin implantation.

Su Ming chose Sapphire Bay as the site for Final Bone Mad Machines’ new port and began construction with the help of the Dragon Race and Zijin’s terrain magic. As the work got underway, Su Ming’s mental seal faded, revealing the constant information streams of his newly fused Whispers of the Stars.

• Su Ming woke to find Zijin trimming his hair with a knife, and she explained that Stacy’s seal still prevented them from using their powers.
• Su Ming, Zijin, and Stacy cooked field mice after growing tired of fruit, then Mo Yuan took Su Ming and Zijin to survey Dragon Gorge Port and nearby Sapphire Bay.
• Su Ming selected Sapphire Bay for the new port, confirmed the site with Dodder’s engineers, and arranged to lease the surrounding coast and bay.
• The Pansy arrived in Sapphire Bay with more than a thousand members of Final Bone Mad Machines, and Su Ming assigned teams to begin building Sapphire Port.
• Zijin used terrain magic to raise piers and level the shore while undead laborers began construction, and Su Ming’s seal dissipated, exposing him to the mental pressure of Whispers of the Stars.
• Zijin gave Su Ming Spirit Wall Crystal Barrier accessories to filter the whispers and advised him to adapt gradually.

Su Ming completed the initial setup at Sapphire Port, coordinated Zijin’s Dragon Race reforms, and used aerial surveys to select Red Ridge as the site of Ruby Base. After organizing construction and discovering dragons’ reluctance to do hard labor, he began devising ways to create demand for their work and spending, ending with plans for a dragon-focused restaurant and entertainment chain called Chicken Dinner Internet Cafe.

• Su Ming installed power, lighting, communications, and security systems at Sapphire Port while Zijin studied a proposal for reorganizing Dragon Race administration.
• Zijin departed for the Dragon Court with Mo Yuan, while Sangzi told Su Ming that photon-transfer testing was scheduled and presented Earth’s analysis of the Dragon Race’s EHD flight technique.
• A Black Dragon delivered Dragon Valley’s meteorological records, and Su Ming used the Rainbow No. 5 to survey the region after dragons had destroyed the Rainbow No. 4.
• Su Ming identified Red Ridge as the site for Ruby Base, confirmed its sulfur deposits, and secured an agreement for forty-five Blue Dragons led by Lan Mao to relocate in exchange for gold.
• Su Ming organized the move to Ruby Base and learned from Yin'er that hiring dragons for physical labor was expensive, prompting him to plan ways to create consumer demand among them.
• Su Ming assigned the Dodder Group custom dragon products, including nail clippers and a flight posture corrector, while his trainees planned a food-and-entertainment chain called Chicken Dinner Internet Cafe.

Su Ming expanded Ruby Base’s workforce and infrastructure plans, recruiting dragons to work off their internet-cafe debts while arranging mining and communications support. During a rainy break aboard the Pansy, he proposed a hydroelectric dam on the White River to supply power and improve transport, then started a co-op game with Zijin.

• Su Ming contracted Shiquan’s dwarven team to mine sulfur in the Red Ridge Mountains and planned to lease them electric mining equipment after Ruby Base’s power system became operational.
• Zijin sent indebted dragons to work at Ruby Base, and Su Ming established a dragon labor department to assign jobs and pay wages across construction sites.
• Elder Yin’er caught the Blue Dragon who had spread the free-trial rumor, and Su Ming offered to settle his punishment if he recruited fifty new paying customers.
• Su Ming reviewed drone survey data with Zijin and explained that limited rare materials meant only ten Dandelion base stations would be deployed for now, as they prioritized confronting the Divine Covenant Faction.
• After Zijin gave Su Ming scanned texts from the Dragon Race’s library, he proposed building a White River hydroelectric dam that would also create a reservoir and improve inland shipping.
• Su Ming and Zijin set aside work during the storm and began playing It Takes Two together aboard the Pansy.

Su Ming and Newman began building the Celestite Hydropower Station with dragon laborers, while Gelie agreed to fund roads and the dam for the Dragon Race. Su Ming then uncovered evidence that the Gray Ridge goblins had cheated Dragon Valley out of roughly 100,000 square kilometers, leaving Gelie furious but temporarily restrained by trade concerns.

• Bowers followed a mindless ghost made from the shattered soul of the Master Rank assassin after implanting the thoughts “mission accomplished” and “return immediately.”
• After the Bronzebeard reached Sapphire Port, Su Ming showed Newman the hydroelectric dam plans, and Newman estimated that dragons could finish the first two construction stages in about ten days.
• Zijin opened a second Chicken Dinner Internet Cafe branch at Ruby Base, introduced a points-based membership system, and used force to suppress dragons who protested its rules.
• Su Ming and Newman started the Celestite Hydropower Station with hundreds of dragon workers, while Su Ming promoted the project and Gelie agreed to give it a 500,000-gold subsidy in exchange for ownership of the dam.
• Su Ming showed Gelie survey data indicating that the Gray Ridge goblins had manipulated the old border maps and deprived Dragon Valley of about 100,000 square kilometers; Gelie agreed to delay retaliation until the busy trading period ended.
• Qiluo joined the agricultural and forestry chemical department to produce ethanol, while the paper mill and other industrial production lines entered construction and commissioning.

Su Ming expanded Ruby Base’s industrial capacity, completed the first major teleportations for the Celestite Hydropower Station, and helped close its dam, bringing the turbines online. As the base’s production and logistics grew, he also faced bounty hunters and investigated an anomalous deposit of low-grade Magic Power crystals.

• Zijin explained that Whispers of the Stars had enlarged Su Ming’s mental-power reserves faster than it increased his recovery rate, and warned him to let his power settle.
• Su Ming established electrical safety rules, strengthened Ruby Base’s defenses, reorganized the Final Bone Mad Machines, and sent Rupert to Dragon Gorge Port to build an intelligence network amid Zijin’s crackdown on corrupt port traders.
• Su Ming teleported a massive turbine and its generator into the Celestite Hydropower Station, while researchers on Earth recorded the information disturbances produced by the process.
• Su Ming learned that bounty hunters targeting his Temple of Light reward had infiltrated the base, and he told Ruixiuli that he would not explain the security gaps he had deliberately left open.
• Su Ming and the Gold Dragon elder uncovered a low-grade Magic Power crystal vein and arranged for ore samples to be sent to the Pansy; meanwhile, Ruby Base produced its first lead-acid batteries.
• Dragon King Gelie and nearly fifteen hundred dragons helped close the Celestite Hydropower Station’s preliminary dam, and rising water soon drove the turbines, supplying electricity to Ruby Base’s production lines.

Su Ming expanded Ruby Base’s industrial and logistical capacity, welcomed 1,400 necromancers and their families, and promised the base’s members that they would be free to reunite with their families after a future counterattack. Zijin agreed to consider moving the Dragon Court’s administrative center closer to Ruby Base, while Su Ming’s team prepared a photon-information experiment with Earth using a synchrotron radiation light source.

• Su Ming began training the Electricity-Swallowing Beast on the other world’s common language and received 1,400 necromancers and their families from Captain Hake at Sapphire Port, enrolling them as trainees and arranging schooling and apprenticeships for the children.
• Su Ming started nitric acid production using the power-intensive electric arc method, while Magelaili reported that most arrivals had agreed to stay and the remaining holdouts were being sent home.
• Zijin established plans for a Dragon Court-led Public Employment Association and later visited Su Ming, who admitted he was homesick and revealed that his promised six-month counterattack timetable was meant for the enemy to hear.
• Zijin agreed to consider moving the Dragon Court’s administrative center near Ruby Base, and the new rail line between Ruby Base and Sapphire Port opened, cutting the trip to a little over an hour.
• Su Ming joined Sangzi’s team for a photon-information transmission experiment at a new research center and discovered that its main equipment was a synchrotron radiation light source.

Su Ming and Sangzi confirmed that electron entanglement information could cross between Earth and Taya, opening a path toward interworld communication. As Su Ming advanced reforms, propaganda, and industrial projects, Bowers found a suspected Temple of Light outpost in goblin territory, and Su Ming assembled a team to raid it that night.

• Sangzi and Su Ming found that photon information could not be transferred, but an electron experiment later successfully carried entanglement correlations across worlds for one microsecond.
• Su Ming printed collected papers for Zijin, Stacy, and other scholars, then arranged artbooks and worker-focused stories to support reforms in Dragon Kingdom.
• Zijin and the dragon leadership expanded centralized administration, while dragons suppressed organizers behind widespread strikes and Su Ming’s stories spread among workers.
• Bowers tracked an assassin’s remnant ghost to a guarded manor in goblin territory and sent Su Ming an encrypted report identifying a suspected Temple of Light outpost.
• Su Ming inspected new smokeless-powder production and mining work, then invited Zijin, Jielusi, Ruixiuli, and Grand Elder Zhimeng to join a raid on the outpost.
• Zhimeng agreed to join the raid in exchange for a verdant-cyan, herb-scented version of Su Ming’s dragon scale-care wax.
