• Wang Ruika struggled to believe that his family’s ancestor, Wang Gexiao, could be a traitor.
• Li Yaowan recounted how spiritual interference had diverted the Nature Department’s reinforcements and explained why she suspected Wang Gexiao and the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo.
• Li Yaowan described how the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo had tried to silence Lu Yanbie and later helped ensure that questioning him revealed no clues.

The Marquis of Mirror Bamboo learned that Wang Gexiao wanted to eliminate Li Yang, but Wang Gexiao persuaded him that a Divine Venerable was necessary to protect Huaxia. Li Yang and Li Yaowan prepared to act against Wang Gexiao without disturbing Si Kui, while the Nature Department continued developing the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.

• Wang Gexiao urged the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo to authorize Li Yang's elimination, arguing that uniting Huaxia and obtaining the Divine Emperor's status would let his father advance to Divine Venerable.

Li Yang and Li Yaowan cultivated more than 300,000 Star Plants in Blue Crystal Soil to demonstrate its value to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion. As Li Yang began harvesting the mature plants before her, Wang Gexiao learned of the visit and saw a chance to trap them all.

• Li Yang and Li Yaowan decided to preserve the Blue Crystal Soil and grow Star Plants on a renewable basis, while Lu Yanbie and the Nature Department helped plant them and Jiang Yuqing refined recovery pills.

The Marquis of Wind Pavilion wavered over backing Li Yang and Li Yaowan’s effort to reopen the investigation into the Nature Department’s destruction.

• Li Yang showed the Marquis of Wind Pavilion Blue Crystal Soil and poured out thousands of Star Cores harvested from Jade Peach Trees.

• Lu Yanbie was overwhelmed by the harvest and decided he wanted to join the Nature Department.
• The Nature Department finished harvesting 300,000 Star Plants, producing nearly a hundred thousand Star Cores.
• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion considered the Star Cores’ value and began wavering over whether to support Li Yang and Li Yaowan.

Li Yang and Li Yaowan offered the Marquis of Wind Pavilion a stake in a company that would cultivate and sell Blue Crystal Soil Star Cores, while revealing the immense value of Li Yang’s discoveries. Before the Marquis could decide, Huaxia Star Wielders invaded the Blue Crystal Realm Domain, trapping its inhabitants by sealing the only passage.

• Li Yang explained that Blue Crystal Soil could produce ice-element Star Cores, and the Marquis of Wind Pavilion realized it might eventually grow cores of even higher grades.

• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion declared that Wang Gexiao had violated Star Nexus Pavilion rules and summoned tens of thousands of Shen Family soldiers to surround his forces.
• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion’s interest in Li Yang’s Star Cores, Growth-Type Divine Weapons, and possible lead to the Divine Venerable Realm strengthened her resolve to support the Nature Department.
• Lin Zhaoxia and Zhong Qian arrived with Spirit Division and Star Combat Division troops, unaware that the mobilization order had been used to target the Blue Crystal Realm Domain.
• When the Shen Family Army confronted the troops at the passage, Wang Gexiao ordered them to return to the city, but the Shen Family Army blocked their retreat.

The Marquis of Wind Pavilion brought Li Yang and Li Yaowan back to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace to hold Wang Gexiao accountable for using a mobilization order to send troops to the Blue Crystal Realm Domain. At a Star Nexus Pavilion council meeting, Wang Gexiao claimed he had made an intelligence error, while the Marquis of Wind Pavilion used the confrontation to challenge the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo and prepare to reopen the case from twenty-eight years ago.

• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion stopped the Star Combat Division and Spirit Division forces from attacking and took Li Yang and Li Yaowan back to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.

Li Yang and the Marquis of Wind Pavilion accused Wang Gexiao and the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo of conspiring in the massacre of the Nature Department twenty-eight years earlier. Lu Yanbie returned as a witness, and the chapter ended with Li Yang demanding that the traitor be brought to justice.

• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion accused Wang Gexiao of targeting the Blue Crystal Realm Domain to trap Li Yang and the Nature Department, then challenged the Wang family to prove his innocence with a mental probe.
• Li Yang said the earlier investigation into the Divine Descent had been biased, and Lu Yanbie stepped forward to testify that the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo had tried to kill him after he awoke.
• Lu Yanbie offered to undergo another mental probe, but Li Yang refused to sacrifice him and said Wang Gexiao could be probed instead.
• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion asked Wang Gexiao to undergo a mental probe for his father's sake, while the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo objected.
• Li Yang argued that the Nature Department had died protecting Huaxia and warned that soldiers would no longer risk their lives if the traitor behind the massacre escaped justice.

At the Star Nexus Pavilion, Lu Yanbie accused the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo of causing the Divine Descent and offered to undergo a mental probe, prompting Wang Gexiao to volunteer instead. Wang Gexiao arranged to delay the probe for a day while agreeing to let the Marquis of Wind Pavilion take control of the Wang Family estate’s protection rights, leaving the others unsure what he intended.

• Lu Yanbie named the Marquis of Mirror Bamboo as the one behind the Divine Descent and offered to undergo a mental probe, while the Marquis promised to help repair his Star Soul.
• The Marquis of Mirror Bamboo opposed probing Wang Gexiao, but Wang Gexiao calmly agreed to submit to one, shocking the Wang Family members.
