• 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 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 vowed to rescue any surviving Nature Department Masters and decided to infiltrate Lost Space Society again to look for evidence.

• 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.

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 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.

Li Yang explored the Malice Subsystem, which could unlock the Flower of Evil’s Star Skills and temporarily raise her to Divine Venerable, then traveled with him to the Evil Domain to collect five Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flowers. There, she learned how the Flower of Evil used the domain’s resources and Spacetime Puppets to survive, and he led her toward the flowers.

• The Flower of Evil led Li Yang into a mountain ravine, where they continued toward the Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flowers.

Li Yang harvested five Ninth Grade Sacred Heart Flowers in the Flower of Evil’s garden, gaining 400,000 years of lifespan and increasing her maximum lifespan by the same amount. She returned to the Sand Fruit Realm Domain without revealing the Huaxia Heavenly Palace’s coordinates to the Flower of Evil.

• The Flower of Evil complained that Li Yang was still wary of him and denied caring about the Huaxia Heavenly Palace’s coordinates.

Li Yang returned to Xuanyuan in the Deep Space Realm Domain and persuaded him to let her attend the personal disciples' minor competition.
