After returning to Xuanyuan, Li Yang presented the supposed evidence through Time Rewind, and the Lost Space Society’s leaders watched it.

• Li Yang released the Spirit-Dwelling Box Troops, and Shen Binghua organized them for the planned deception.

• Xuanyuan asked Li Yang to rewind the scene, and she showed the Lost Space Society’s gathered leaders the rehearsed encounter.

Li Yang used the Bone Peach Mother Tree’s Time Rewind to show the Lost Space Society that Huaxia troops were cooperating with the Flower of Evil. Xuanyuan and the other leaders recognized the threat of a Huaxia ambush and reconsidered attacking the Evil Domain.

• Li Yang, unaware of the promised Star Coins and Disciples, used Xuanyuan’s nameplate to head to the Star Repository Pavilion in the Deep Space Realm Domain.

Li Yang entered the Deep Space Realm Domain’s Star Repository Pavilion under Xuanyuan’s name and collected one million Sixth-Grade Star Cores. She maintained the Bone Peach Mother Tree’s reckless persona despite warnings, then found that a core’s Star Skill was ordinary.

Li Yang returned to the Bone Peach Domain with a map-making tool and a bag of Sixth-Grade Star Cores, while the Flower of Evil began searching for a Ninth-Grade Supreme who cultivated the Dao of Evil. At the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, Li Yaowan treated the tortured Nature Department survivors, and Jiang Yuqing used the Shock Points Li Yang generated to pursue pill research.

• Lianxin offered Li Yang all his family’s treasures, and she warned him not to tempt her with them before returning to the Bone Peach Domain with Star Cores and Xuanyuan’s instructions.
• The Flower of Evil, reassured that the Lost Space Society had not attacked, used his scattered clones to search for the Ninth-Grade Supreme cultivating the Dao of Evil.

Li Yang used Xuanyuan’s Realm Domain Surveyor to map the Bone Peach Domain and learned that Star Cores could restore a Realm Domain’s vitality. After she helped revive the domain, the Bone Peach Clan members were purified, and the Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra let her draw power from its nodes.

• Li Yang appraised Xuanyuan’s Realm Domain Surveyor, learned it could map recorded resources, and spent lifespan to record its crafting method.

• After one million Sixth Grade Star Cores had been buried, Li Yang sensed power flowing from the domain’s nodes and realized the Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra connected her to them.

Li Yang cultivated the Power of Wood and met the Flower of Evil, who told her how he had killed Xuan Yi. She prepared to return to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace while suggesting that its forces might cooperate with the Flower of Evil if he offered needed resources.

• Li Yang returned to Huaxia Heavenly Palace by way of the Greedy Wolf Transit Point, where the Marquis of Wind Pavilion arranged an examination to check her origin soul.
• Li Yang told the Marquis of Wind Pavilion about her breakthrough to Seventh Grade and asked about Teacher Li and the Nature Department seniors.
• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion explained that the seniors had not recovered because their Star Souls had been damaged, and some had been removed during the Lost Space Society’s experiments.

Li Yang reported her infiltration of the Lost Space Society to Marquis of Wind Pavilion, offering Sacred Heart Flowers and revealing that the Upper Three Realms feared Huaxia Heavenly Palace. She explained that the Seven Sages’ hostility concerned the secret to reaching the Divine Venerable Realm, and Marquis began clarifying how Star Wielders cultivated elemental powers.

• Li Yang learned that the captured Nature Department Star Wielders had their Star Souls stripped, and Marquis of Wind Pavilion said Master Li was treating them.

• Li Yang asked Marquis to give one Sacred Heart Flower to Teacher Shen and explained that the Upper Three Realms feared Huaxia Heavenly Palace.
• Li Yang revealed that the Seven Sages’ conflict was tied to advancing to the Divine Venerable Realm and that each Authority of God was unique, preventing others with the same power from ascending unless they killed its holder.
• Marquis of Wind Pavilion explained how Star Wielders distinguished elemental powers after reaching the Master Realm and transforming their Origin Souls.

Li Yang explained to the Marquis of Wind Pavilion how the Upper Three Realms had monopolized the seven elemental divine venerable positions and manipulated the Astral Realm into believing no other paths existed. The Marquis resolved to support Li Yang’s mission in the Evil Domain and considered whether Li Yang’s teacher could claim a divine venerable position after helping kill Divine Venerable Qingmu.

• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion explained that the Nature Department’s battle-forged cultivation tradition let its Star Wielders challenge the limits imposed by the seven elemental powers.
• Li Yang pointed out that Divine Venerable Qingmu had not held the divine position of Wood, and the Marquis realized the Astral Realm had been deceived about the number of possible divine positions.
• The Marquis recognized that the Lost Space Society had controlled Star Core resources and promoted only seven-element Star Skills, steering cultivators toward paths whose divine positions were already monopolized.
• The Marquis ordered troops to support the Evil Domain and told Li Yang to obtain the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flower.
• The Marquis proposed that Li Yang’s teacher might claim a divine venerable position because of her Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul and her role in killing Divine Venerable Qingmu.

Li Yang and the Marquis of Wind Pavilion planned to help Si Kui reach the Divine Venerable Realm and use a staged theft of the Flower of Evil’s authority to sow discord among the Lost Space Society’s Seven Sages. The Marquis prepared to send troops to the Evil Domain while Li Yang planned to visit the Nature Pavilion and take the Spirit-Dwelling Box Troops with her when she left Huaxia.

• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion argued that Si Kui’s advancement could prove the Nature Department’s path and attract more students, while Li Yang cautioned against abandoning the seven major elements.
• Li Yang proposed using her Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul to provoke rivalry among the Seven Sages by having Si Kui pretend to seize the Flower of Evil’s authority of evil.
• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion agreed that the plan could destabilize the Lost Space Society and help the Huaxia Heavenly Palace gather allies before launching a counterattack.
• The Marquis worried that Si Kui would react fiercely to learning Li Yang was undercover in the Lost Space Society, and Li Yang said she would speak with her teacher once she woke.
• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion set out to arrange troops for the Evil Domain and agreed to send the Spirit-Dwelling Box Troops to a small Realm Domain for cultivation until Li Yang left Huaxia.

Li Yaowan struggled to develop a treatment for the Nature Department survivors’ damaged Star Souls and asked Li Yang to obtain a huge supply of Star Recovery Pills. Jiang Yuqing claimed he could refine one hundred thousand in a day, but insisted Li Yang first explain what she had done at the Lost Space Society.

• Li Yaowan told Li Yang that her experiments to repair the survivors’ Star Souls had failed and asked whether she could obtain at least one hundred thousand Star Recovery Pills.
• Li Yang visited the Nature Pavilion, where Jiang Yuqing reported that the Agronomy Department was thriving and asked about her time at the Mystifying Space Gathering.
• Li Yang asked Jiang Yuqing whether he could refine one hundred thousand Star Recovery Pills quickly, and he promised to finish within a day.

• Li Yang said the information mattered to Jiang Yuqing’s refining speed and invited him to listen while she told Li Yaowan about it.

Li Yang told Li Yaowan and Jiang Yuqing about her exploits at the Mystifying Space Gathering, then explored how their different cultivation methods might relate to Heavenly Fortune Bearers and Divine Venerable Authorities. Li Yaowan revealed that she had once cultivated by earning Money Points, leaving Li Yang eager to know how the system worked.

• Li Yang recounted her achievements at the Mystifying Space Gathering, shocking Jiang Yuqing with her role in the Wise One Promotion Ceremony, her promotion, and her alliance with the Flower of Evil.
• Li Yang asked whether Jiang Yuqing’s unusual cultivation was a feature of Heavenly Fortune Bearers, and Jiang Yuqing explained that he gathered Shock Points when people were shocked by him.
• Li Yang revealed that Jiang Yuqing’s system had given her a subsystem, and Li Yaowan suggested his heavenly fortune had been drawn to Li Yang.
• Li Yang and Li Yaowan reasoned that Heavenly Fortune Bearers might be chosen by Divine Venerable Authorities, while the Upper Three Realms steered them toward the seven great elemental powers and consumed them through Divine Descent.
• Li Yaowan explained that she had cultivated before reaching the Master Realm by earning Money Points, which improved the quantity and quality of the pills she made.
• Li Yang asked whether Li Yaowan’s money was consumed when she used it to improve herself.

Li Yang learned that Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearers could boost other Heavenly Fortune Bearers and wondered why Sister Longevity had chosen her. At the Pill Refining Research Institute, Jiang Yuqing began mass-producing Star Recovery Pills while Li Yang tried refining them herself, discovering that her lifespan cost was much higher than Jiang Yuqing’s Shock Point cost.

• Li Yaowan explained that Nature Department Heavenly Fortune Bearers could boost other Heavenly Fortune Bearers, prompting Jiang Yuqing to consider earning Shock Points from Dean Si.
• Li Yang asked whether Li Yaowan would return to cultivating the Dao of Money, but Li Yaowan said she would decide after developing a pill to repair Star Souls.
• Li Yang, Li Yaowan, and Jiang Yuqing went to the Pill Refining Research Institute, where Li Yaowan arranged for Jiang Yuqing to refine pills discreetly.
• Jiang Yuqing rapidly refined Star Recovery Pills, using Shock Points to make the process nearly instantaneous, while Li Yang watched.
• Li Yang used lifespan to learn the Star Recovery Pill formula and successfully refined 100 pills at a cost of 100 years.
• Jiang Yuqing said his batches cost about 50 Shock Points, leaving Li Yang dismayed that her own refining cost four times as much.

Jiang Yuqing refined a hundred thousand Star Recovery Pills for Li Yaowan, whose research succeeded in healing injured Star Souls. Li Yang returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace to meet the recovering Nature Department seniors as they awakened.

• Jiang Yuqing refined a hundred thousand Star Recovery Pills and then rested in Li Yaowan’s lounge while she began refining them.
• Li Yang returned to the Bone Peach Domain, checked on the Emerald Peach Clan, and reassured the Flower of Evil that the Marquis of Wind Pavilion was assembling troops.
• Li Yang comforted Lianxin when he felt inferior to the Flower of Evil, and they prepared to return to the Lotus Domain.
• After three days, Li Yang received Li Yaowan’s message and traveled back to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace by way of several Realm Domains and a transit point.
• Li Yaowan told Li Yang that the pills had worked and that the Nature Department seniors would wake soon; she had also called her son back to help welcome them.

Li Yang met the Nature Department Star Wielders who had awakened after twenty-eight years and helped Li Yaowan examine Xing Yao’s memories of the Lost Space Society. The memories revealed that Cheng Rui might still be alive, leaving Li Yang shocked and uncertain whether it was a trap.

• Li Yang accompanied Li Yaowan and Li Qingchen to meet the awakened Nature Department Star Wielders, who welcomed her as their junior grand-aunt and introduced themselves.
• Li Yang and the others learned about the Star Wielders’ years in the Lost Space Society and asked them to share what they knew.
• Xing Yao revealed she had an eavesdropping Star Skill, and Li Yang entered her Spirit Sea with Li Yaowan to examine it.
• Li Yaowan heard information in Xing Yao’s memories indicating that Cheng Rui might still be alive.
• Li Yang questioned whether the information was a trap, but Li Yaowan said the Lost Space Society had no reason to expect the survivors to return.

Li Yang and Li Yaowan discovered that Xing Yao’s memories showed Cheng Rui alive in Lost Space Society custody twenty years earlier, and Li Yang concluded Daowu may have imprisoned the Nature Department Masters to experiment on their Origin Souls. Li Yang planned to return to Lost Space Society and search for clues about the missing Masters while keeping the discovery secret.

• Li Yaowan told Li Yang that Xing Yao had endured 161 extractions of her Star Soul and played a memory in which a grieving man called out to Xing Yao.
• Li Yang recognized the man as Cheng Rui and realized he had been alive in Lost Space Society custody twenty years earlier.
• Li Yang stopped Li Yaowan from telling Shen Binghua and ordered her to keep the discovery from everyone, including the Marquis of Wind Pavilion.
• Li Yang reasoned that Daowu likely spared the Nature Department Masters to experiment on their higher-grade Myriad Phenomena Origin Souls, though she could not be certain they were alive.
• Li Yang vowed to rescue any surviving Nature Department Masters and decided to infiltrate Lost Space Society again to look for evidence.

Li Yang learned from Xing Yao’s recorded memories that Cheng Rui might still be alive and promised to find a way to rescue him. After the Nature Department’s Star Wielders recovered and returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, they reunited with old comrades and began helping Li Yang develop her research into growing Star Cores.

• Li Yang told Xing Yao that her recordings contained Cheng Rui’s voice, and Xing Yao urged her to save him before agreeing to keep the discovery secret.
• Li Yang spent three months in the small Realm Domain as more than a hundred Nature Department Star Wielders awakened and recovered, gaining insight into the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul from Xing Yao and the others.
• The recovered Star Wielders returned to the Nature Pavilion, where former teammates reunited, including Zhu Xi and her old subordinate Kong Ling.
• Li Yang showed the Nature Department members the Sand Fruit Realm Domain and Blue Crystal Realm Domain, and they recognized the Blue Crystal Soil and Deep Spring Water as materials their missing Masters had sought.
• Nature Department researchers took charge of the former research institutes and doubled the efficiency of growing Sand Fruit Trees, while Xing Yao recalled that their founding grandmaster had loved harvesting crops.

Li Yang learned more about the Nature Department’s crop-based cultivation and returned to the Bone Peach Domain after the Flower of Evil warned her that Kong Shisan had arrived. Kong Shisan told her that the direct disciples’ minor competition would offer a rare chance to visit the mysterious First Realm Domain, leaving Li Yang intrigued despite the risk of competing at a lower realm.

• Xing Yao explained that the Nature Department’s old pavilion master cultivated by harvesting crops, and Zhu Xi said Li Yang was carrying on the Agronomy Department’s legacy.
• The Nature Department’s Star Wielders grew Sand Fruit Trees efficiently, while Xing Yao recognized Setting Sun as Grandmaster’s sword and mourned the lost elders with the others.
• The Flower of Evil warned Li Yang that Kong Shisan had come, so she returned to the Bone Peach Domain and controlled the Spacetime Puppet to meet him.
• Kong Shisan praised Li Yang’s cultivation progress and asked whether she needed Star Cores, but Li Yang joked that he could give her some.
• Kong Shisan told Li Yang she was eligible for the direct disciples’ minor competition and that it would take place in the First Realm Domain.
• Li Yang questioned what benefit she could gain from visiting the First Realm Domain, and Kong Shisan said the opportunity could bring an unexpected gain.

Li Yang learned that the First Realm Domain’s mysterious benefits might be tied to fate and decided to enter it through Xuanyuan’s disciples’ minor competition. She returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace resolved to investigate the Nature Department Masters before the palace’s plans put them in greater danger, though Li Yaowan feared Daowu.

• Kong Shisan urged Li Yang to ask Xuanyuan to let her join the direct disciples’ minor competition, warning that his other disciples might resent her and that the event began in seven days.
• The Flower of Evil told Li Yang that Divine Exalt Daowu ruled the First Realm Domain and held the Authority of God over fate, making the domain’s promised gains potentially dangerous.
• Li Yang decided to attend the competition to seek leads on the Nature Department Masters, whom she feared Daowu might be experimenting on or use against Si Kui.
• Li Yang returned to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace and used Time Rewind to show Li Yaowan Kong Shisan’s conversation.
• Li Yaowan warned that the First Realm Domain was dangerous and worried Daowu might see through Li Yang, while Li Yang argued that traveling with Xuanyuan was safer than going alone.

Li Yang and Li Yaowan discussed how to protect Li Yang from Daowu and agreed to keep Si Kui unaware of her plans while preparations began to guard the Evil Domain. When Li Yang told the Flower of Evil she would leave for the direct disciples' competition, he proposed a Symbiotic Contract so he could accompany her, and she weighed the risks with Lianxin.

• Li Yaowan offered to find Star Curses empowered by the Laws of Heaven and Earth, but Li Yang refused because Xuanyuan might detect them and grow suspicious.
• Li Yang reassured Li Yaowan that she could use the tension between Xuanyuan and Daowu to secure Xuanyuan's protection, and Li Yaowan accepted that she could not stop worrying about her.
• Li Yang asked the Marquis of Wind Pavilion and Li Yaowan to hide her situation from Si Kui while the Marquis prepared troops to guard the Evil Domain.
• The Flower of Evil complained that Li Yang would leave without providing him more malice, then insisted he could accompany her to the First Realm Domain by signing a Symbiotic Contract.
• Li Yang consulted Lianxin and explained that the Flower of Evil's aura could expose her identity as the Bone Peach Mother Tree, while Lianxin said the contract could still benefit her.

Li Yang weighed the risks of making a Symbiotic Contract with the Flower of Evil, and Lianxin agreed to monitor him in her Spirit Sea. After the Flower of Evil explained how he could hide his aura and protect Lianxin, Li Yang agreed to negotiate the contract, but their bargaining over malice and Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flowers remained unresolved.

• Li Yang worried that the Flower of Evil might contaminate her Spirit Sea, and Lianxin offered to watch for any leaking malice.
• The Flower of Evil said he could use a Spacetime Puppet clone to hide his aura and that his ultimate yin would balance Lianxin's ultimate yang, concealing them both from Daowu.
• Li Yang concluded that the benefits outweighed the risks and agreed to discuss the contract terms with the Flower of Evil.
• The Flower of Evil demanded fifty million malice, and Li Yang countered by offering it in exchange for fifty Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flowers.
• The Flower of Evil protested that fifty flowers were too many, while Li Yang challenged his claim that fifty million malice was a reasonable demand.
