Chapter Summaries

Li Yang entered Lianxin’s emerald castle to harvest the Ninth Grade Lotus Seeds and discovered that each seed contained a large amount of Power of Nature. After collecting the first seed and gaining 200,000 years of lifespan and maximum lifespan, she learned that Lianxin could store the seeds in a pattern on his robe.

• Lianxin led Li Yang and the Flower of Evil into his emerald castle, where dense Power of Time preserved countless lotus seeds.
• Li Yang learned she could use Lianxin’s authority and the Power of Space to enter the barriers and harvest the seeds, and Lianxin offered to let her take them all.
• Li Yang entered a seed’s space and rose to ninth grade using the Flower of Evil’s status, revealing the valuable lotus seed inside its milky shell.
• The shell dissolved into mist carrying Power of Nature, which flowed into Li Yang’s Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, and she harvested the lotus seed.
• Li Yang gained 200,000 years of lifespan and maximum lifespan, then watched Lianxin make the seed vanish into a new pattern on his robe.

Li Yang discovered that the Lotus Domain’s lotus seeds were being contaminated by a strange black power and learned that the Power of Nature could destroy the black monsters attacking the emerald castle. With their escape blocked and the monsters overwhelming them, she prepared to fight back using a wide-range skill.

• Li Yang gathered lotus seeds for Lianxin, noticed their Power of Nature and lifespan gains dwindling, and found that a later seed was contaminated.
• After a half-black lotus seed released a chaotic power, Li Yang used the Power of Nature to drive it out and warned Lianxin and the Flower of Evil that the seeds were changing.
• Lianxin concluded that something had happened to Mother, and black humanoid monsters smashed into the emerald castle while Li Yang found she could not use the Teleportation Star Curse.
• The Flower of Evil’s Ten Thousand Thorns failed against the monsters, but Li Yang infused her own Ten Thousand Thorns with the Power of Nature and melted many of them.
• Li Yang saw that the monsters were too numerous to fight with Ten Thousand Thorns alone and prepared to use a wider-range skill.

Li Yang and her companions escaped the Lotus Domain as black monsters overwhelmed it, but Lianxin was separated from her and Flower of Evil. As Li Yang and Si Kui investigate the Lotus Domain’s corruption and search for Lianxin, they learn the contaminated lotus seeds contain a dense force called the Power of Chaos.

• Li Yang fought the black monsters while Lianxin used the Power of Time to restrain them, and the Lotus Domain’s will sent Li Yang, Lianxin, and Flower of Evil away.
• Li Yang returned to her body in the Evil Domain, where Si Yue reassured her that Lianxin and Flower of Evil remained tied to her through their symbiotic relationship.
• Flower of Evil returned to Li Yang’s Spirit Sea alone and explained that he had been teleported into the void, where memories of nearly getting lost there nine hundred thousand years ago had resurfaced.
• Li Yang and Flower of Evil suspected that the Lotus Domain had sent them away long ago rather than letting them be stolen, and Li Yang feared Lianxin might have landed somewhere dangerous.
• Li Yang asked Si Kui and Si Yue to help locate Fenglie Main City, where Lianxin might be, and Si Kui said the search could take up to three days.
• Li Yang told Si Kui about the black monsters and gave her contaminated lotus seeds; Si Kui identified their dense contamination as the Power of Chaos.

Li Yang and Si Kui traced the Lotus Domain’s decline to at least five thousand years ago and examined the old pavilion master’s sealed research notebook. Li Yang opened it with her four-leaf-clover Star Aperture and retrieved Sister Longevity’s subsystem, which revealed a gift from the grandmaster.

• Si Yue and Si Kui recalled that the old pavilion master had taken a Chaos-tainted leaf from the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, and the group suspected it had come from the Lotus Domain.
• Li Yang pieced together that the Lotus Domain had worsened by the time Lotus Leaf reached the Ninth Grade five thousand years earlier.
• Si Kui showed Li Yang the notebook sealed by a four-leaf clover, and Li Yang explained Sister Longevity’s connection to her own four-leaf-clover Star Aperture.
• Si Kui explained that the old pavilion master could glimpse a future destined to become history, and Li Yang linked this power to time, fate, and Daowu’s pursuit of the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.
• Li Yang touched the notebook’s seal, and Sister Longevity detected and retrieved her subsystem.
• Sister Longevity reported that the subsystem contained 10 million years of retrieved lifespan and a 2 million-year lifespan limit.

Li Yang learned from the former pavilion master that the Lotus Domain was the Astral Realm’s foundation and was nearing collapse after enduring the Upper Three Realms’ mental contamination. The former pavilion master explained the Human Emperor’s promise and the successors’ burden, then revealed that both she and Li Yang had died and returned to life, giving them the talent that drew the Fortune Spirit to them.

• Li Yang met the former pavilion master’s recorded message, and the former pavilion master explained that the Lotus Domain had asked her to keep a promise possibly made by the first Human Emperor.
• The former pavilion master revealed that the Lotus Domain had suppressed the Power of Chaos for nine hundred thousand years, but contamination caused by the Upper Three Realms had cracked it and threatened the Astral Realm.
• The former pavilion master told Li Yang that earlier successors had left records and urged her to learn the full situation before deciding whether to shoulder the promise.
• The former pavilion master explained that the first Human Emperor founded the Nature Department and that its cultivation methods had once formed the foundation of Huaxia’s power.
• The former pavilion master said the Fortune Spirit chose people from the Nature Department because they could grow Star Plants, and that she and Li Yang had both died and returned to life.

Li Yang accepted the Human Emperor's successors' burden and learned that the Upper Three Realms intended to destroy the Astral Realm and create a new world. The old pavilion master explained how Nature Department cultivators could save the Lotus Domain and reassured her that Daowu could not absorb the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul.

• The old pavilion master theorized that the Human Emperor had foreseen a savior and made the Fortune Spirit search for successors who returned from the dead.
• Li Yang chose to continue the successors' mission despite the old pavilion master's offer to help her separate from the Fortune Spirit.
• The old pavilion master revealed that the Upper Three Realms knowingly endangered the Astral Realm and planned to create a new world using the Authorities of God.
• The old pavilion master explained that three Ninth-Grade Supremes from the Nature Department could transport Authorities of God to the Lotus Domain to neutralize the Power of Chaos.
• Li Yang disclosed her contract with Daowu, and the old pavilion master assured her that he could not absorb the Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul without the cultivation that formed it.
• The old pavilion master warned Li Yang to reach Ninth Grade before gathering the other successors' messages.

Li Yang learned from the old pavilion master how to use the Flower of Evil’s Time Rewind to investigate Lianxin’s disappearance, then prepared to attack Fenglie Main City. The chapter ended as she and her allies made plans to confront the Divine Venerable of Wood, who had persecuted Huaxia Star Wielders.

• Li Yang told the old pavilion master that Lianxin had vanished, and the old pavilion master advised her to rewind Fenglie Main City to a precise point in the past using the Flower of Evil’s ability.
• The old pavilion master’s message ended, and Li Yang returned to the Evil Domain and told Si Kui and Si Yue what she had learned.
• Si Yue planned to enter seclusion to pursue Ninth-Grade Supreme, while Li Yang assigned Si Kui to search for Lost Space Society strongholds and prepared to attack Fenglie Main City with Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua.
• The scouting team reported that the Divine Venerable of Wood oversaw Fenglie Main City and had hunted Huaxia travelers, displaying their dead on its walls.
• The Marquis of Wind Pavilion gave Li Yang a restorative sword case for Mecha Doll and suggested fire-type Star Skills against the Divine Venerable of Wood.
• Li Yang said she would need the Flower of Evil’s abilities, prompting him to complain when she revealed that he was unsuited to cultivating fire-type Star Skills.

Li Yang learned from the Flower of Evil's memories that the Fenglie Clan had deliberately gathered him, Lianxin, and Lotus Leaf, giving her hope of finding Lianxin through Time Rewind. She set out with Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua to infiltrate Fenglie Main City and kill the Divine Venerable of Wood, leaving Si Kui behind as they teleported to a floating island in the void.

• The Flower of Evil showed Li Yang his memory of being captured by the Fenglie Clan and taken to Fenglie Main City, where he overheard that they had found three Innate Sacred Objects.
• Li Yang realized the Fenglie Clan had planned to collect the Flower of Evil, Lianxin, and Lotus Leaf, and concluded she could use his past as an anchor for Time Rewind.
• Li Yang, Cheng Rui, and Shen Binghua prepared to infiltrate Fenglie Main City without an army so they could catch the enemy by surprise and kill the Divine Venerable of Wood.
• Si Kui trusted Li Yang and Cheng Rui to return in triumph, and Li Yang embraced her teacher before leaving.
• Li Yang teleported with Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua to a floating island in the void near Fenglie Main City.

Li Yang, Cheng Rui, and Shen Binghua infiltrated Fenglie Main City by disguising themselves as Fenglie Clan members and slipping through its transit point. They reached the renamed Osmanthus City, where a wall made from dead Star Plants blocked communication with the outside, leaving the team isolated.

• Li Yang used the Flower of Evil to briefly control a transit-point operator, allowing Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua to pass inspection in disguise.
• Li Yang arranged for Cheng Rui to teleport first, Shen Binghua second, and herself last, while encouraging Shen Binghua through her lingering fear of the events twenty-eight years earlier.
• The three reunited in Fenglie City, now renamed Osmanthus City and transformed under the Divine Venerable of Wood's control.
• Li Yang, Cheng Rui, and Shen Binghua discovered that the city's enormous wall had been made from Star Plants and carried lingering anguish and resentment.
• Cheng Rui realized the wall blocked Spirit Connections from outside, and the Flower of Evil confirmed that his current state could not bypass it.

Li Yang, Cheng Rui, and Shen Binghua entered Osmanthus City after passing its inspections, while Li Yang surveyed the city’s defenses and surroundings. Inside, Li Yang learned that the city was built from valuable heavenly treasures and continued searching for Lianlian.

• Li Yang told Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua to wait while she surveyed and mapped the city using her Fortune Spirit.
• The trio approached Fenglie Main City, endured the emotional pressure around its walls, and passed a secret-treasure inspection.
• Li Yang noticed a rabbit-eared youth being insulted, then saw him reveal his Blood God Clan identity and command the Star Wielder’s fear and respect.
• Li Yang sensed divine power in the final inspection, received Sister Longevity’s assessment that it had the wood attribute, and entered Osmanthus City.
• Li Yang explored the city’s wooden buildings, learned from the Flower of Evil that they were made from heavenly treasures, and promised the Mecha Doll she could eat something she liked after the mission.
• Li Yang remembered that she had never asked Lianlian what he liked to eat and resolved to communicate with him more once she found him.

Li Yang, Cheng Rui, and Shen Binghua investigated Osmanthus City and learned how the Divine Venerable of Wood had seized Fenglie City and hidden his role behind a false story. They discovered that his disciple Shennü could watch the whole city and detect emotions, so they decided to kill her before moving against him.

• Li Yang spent a million years of lifespan to map Osmanthus City, while Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua gathered information there.
• Cheng Rui learned that the Divine Venerable of Wood had destroyed Fenglie City to build Osmanthus City, then blamed the Nature Department for the destruction.
• Shen Binghua revealed that Shennü, the Divine Venerable of Wood's disciple, used the Authority of God Heavenly Sight to watch the city and detect emotions, especially killing intent.
• Shen Binghua described how Shennü had caught people trying to refine the city's heavenly treasures, and Li Yang realized Shennü could threaten their assassination plan.
• Li Yang and her companions decided to kill Shennü first, and Li Yang judged that Shennü's combat strength was probably limited.

Li Yang infiltrated the Divine Maiden Palace to assess the divine maiden’s defenses, then learned that the rabbit-eared youth Shen Ze was her younger brother. The divine maiden used her gaze to crush Shen Ze and declared that she had severed ties with the Blood God Clan, leaving Li Yang with a potential opening to investigate her further.

• Li Yang explained that her emotions barely yielded any points and decided to sneak into the Divine Maiden Palace while Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua continued investigating.
• Li Yang found the palace heavily guarded by an elite force and concluded that the divine maiden’s combat power was likely ordinary, though the defenses left her no opening to attack.
• Shen Ze arrived at the palace demanding to see his sister and insisting that she was the Blood God Clan’s true heir.
• A guard squad leader threatened Shen Ze with the destruction of his Star Soul if he continued causing trouble.
• The divine maiden pressed down on Shen Ze and the others with a powerful gaze, then said she had severed ties with the Blood God Clan and threatened to devour the entire clan if they disturbed her again.
• Shen Ze was overwhelmed by the divine maiden’s gaze and fell unconscious.

Li Yang followed the guard squad leader and Shen Ze to a hidden courtyard, where she discovered the Heavenly Sight Divine Maiden had arranged for the leader to kill Shen Ze. After an unseen sword killed the leader, Li Yang revealed her presence and took Shen Ze away, setting the stage for contact with the Divine Maiden.

• Li Yang suspected the Divine Maiden was concealing something and secretly followed the squad leader as he led Shen Ze along a hidden route.
• The squad leader brought Shen Ze to an abandoned courtyard built in the style of old Fenglie City and revealed his Star Plant form.
• The squad leader prepared to consume Shen Ze, but a sudden sword killed him before he could attack.
• Li Yang called out to Shen Ze, deliberately revealing her presence after realizing the Divine Maiden had ordered the squad leader's death.
• Li Yang removed the squad leader's body, helped Shen Ze up, and took him to a secluded place while the Divine Maiden remained silent.

Li Yang confronted the goddess over Shen Ze’s repeated memory seals and learned more about the Divine Venerable of Wood’s aims. She took Shen Ze to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace, promising to help save his sister while declaring that she would kill the Divine Venerable of Wood.

• Li Yang revealed herself to Shen Ze, identified herself as Huaxia’s Light of Dawn, and asked him to explain his clan and his sister’s connection to the Divine Venerable of Wood.
• The goddess urged Li Yang to take Shen Ze away and erase his memories, but Li Yang discovered that his memories had been sealed 397 times and warned that the seals threatened his Origin Soul.
• Li Yang learned that the Divine Venerable of Wood wanted her dead, then announced that she had killed the God King of Time and intended to kill the Divine Venerable of Wood before leaving with Shen Ze.
• Li Yang asked Shen Ze to trust her and follow her plans to save his sister, and he agreed to go with her to the Huaxia Heavenly Palace.
• Li Yang left a message for Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua and took Shen Ze out of Osmanthus City while they stayed behind to investigate.

Li Yang brought Shen Ze to the Evil Domain to learn about the Blood God Clan and investigate why its members supplied Divine Blood to the Upper Three Realms. After learning that Divine Blood could purify mental pollution, Li Yang asked Shen Ze for a tiny sample to study, and he agreed despite his unease.

• Flower of Evil teased Li Yang about returning from Osmanthus City with Shen Ze, and Shen Ze blushed at Li Yang holding his waist.
• Li Yang introduced Shen Ze to Si Kui, who explained that the Blood God Clan had become loyal to the Upper Three Realms and ordered the Star Nexus Pavilion to investigate them.
• Shen Ze recounted how his older sister left the Blood God Realm Domain and how he repeatedly searched for her in Osmanthus City, losing his memories each time.
• Shen Ze explained that the Upper Three Realms extracted Divine Blood from his clan in exchange for resources, and Li Yang called it captive raising rather than an equal trade.
• Si Kui learned that Divine Blood could purify mental pollution, and Li Yang asked Shen Ze for a tiny sample to experiment with; he agreed because he trusted her.

Li Yang learned that the only known way to extract Divine Blood required love and intimacy, so she rejected it and sought another way to study Shen Ze’s blood. She took him to Li Yaowan’s institute to adapt its scanning equipment, leaving their investigation poised to begin.

• Li Yang used Sister Longevity to learn that extracting Divine Blood required the donor to be in love with the extractor and release a drop at the moment of intimacy.
• The Flower of Evil accused Li Yang of wanting Shen Ze, while Shen Ze offered to help; Li Yang explained that their brief acquaintance could not satisfy the method’s requirements.
• Li Yang decided to test her theory without extracting Divine Blood and contacted Li Yaowan about adapting the institute’s scanning equipment for Shen Ze.
• Li Yaowan agreed to adjust the equipment, and Li Yang brought Shen Ze to the research institute, where Song Jinhuan was also present.

Li Yang and the others traced Shen Ze’s divine blood to the Lotus Domain and concluded that the Blood God Clan might be connected to it. She persuaded Li Yaowan that rescuing the clan could weaken the Upper Three Realms and strengthen Huaxia, winning agreement to help them.

• Li Yang used Sister Longevity’s modified device to trace the divine blood in Shen Ze, and the Flower of Evil recognized it as water from the Lotus Domain.
• Li Yang theorized that the Blood God Clan’s Holy Heart Water came from the Lotus Domain and that its supposed purification of contamination might actually transfer contamination there.
• Li Yaowan questioned whether Huaxia should risk confronting the Upper Three Realms to rescue the Blood God Clan, while Si Kui insisted that Huaxia should fight if necessary.
• Li Yang argued that rescuing the Blood God Clan would disrupt the Upper Three Realms’ control over resources and encourage oppressed Realm Domains to ally with Huaxia.
• Li Yaowan accepted Li Yang’s reasoning, and the Flower of Evil joked that Shen Ze might pledge himself to Li Yang if she rescued his family.

Li Yang returned to Osmanthus City and persuaded Shennü to consider helping the Blood God Clan live better rather than merely survive. Shennü began to open up about the Upper Three Realms’ control over her people, but her explanation was cut off before she finished.

• The Flower of Evil reacted angrily when Li Yang joked that he should offer himself to her, then returned to her Spirit Sea after the thought unsettled him.
• Li Yang decided to leave Shen Ze where he was and return to Osmanthus City to contact Shennü, while Li Yaowan urged her to be careful.
• Li Yang used Meld into Space to reach her previous meeting place and told Shennü she had returned because she had not accomplished her goal.
• Shennü warned Li Yang that the Divine Venerable of Wood would kill her, but Li Yang confronted her about allowing the Blood God Clan to endure repeated Divine Blood extraction.
• Shennü realized that she had seen hope but lacked the courage to face it, and she agreed to discuss the Divine Venerable of Wood.
• Li Yang asked how the Upper Three Realms controlled the Blood God Clan and whether Shennü would suffer if the Divine Venerable of Wood died; Shennü began explaining that her people depended on the Upper Three Realms’ protection.

Li Yang learned that Osmanthus City itself was the Divine Venerable of Wood’s body, making him nearly impossible to kill, and proposed using his confidence in Shennü’s sight against him. Shennü agreed to help test Li Yang’s plan, though she remained surprised that she could not see Li Yang’s killing intent.

• Li Yang told Shennü that the Nature Department would shelter the Blood God Clan if the Divine Venerable of Wood were killed.
• Li Yang revealed that she had been to the Lotus Domain through her connection with Lianxin, and Shennü admitted that the Blood God Clan had a secret legend about the domain.
• Shennü explained that Osmanthus City was the Divine Venerable of Wood’s body and that he could create new vessels for his primary consciousness anywhere in the city.
• Shennü said the Divine Venerable of Wood could detect killing intent, but Li Yang asked whether Shennü could locate his new vessel and suggested deceiving him by claiming she could not see Li Yang’s killing intent.
• Li Yang proposed that Shennü tell the Divine Venerable of Wood that Huaxia’s Light of Dawn had infiltrated Osmanthus City, then report that she could not see the intruder’s killing intent.

Li Yang’s plan used Shennü’s truthful reports to make the Divine Venerable of Wood suspicious and draw him into confronting her alone. After Shennü signaled that he was coming, Li Yang borrowed the Flower of Evil’s status and vanished with Meld into Space as the Divine Venerable of Wood sensed something was wrong.

• Li Yang recruited Cheng Rui and Shen Binghua to investigate the Divine Venerable of Wood’s body, while she waited for Shennü’s signal.
• Shennü told the Divine Venerable of Wood that she had seen Huaxia’s Light of Dawn, and he confirmed her words by looking into her eyes.
• Shennü reported that Li Yang showed no killing intent, making the Divine Venerable of Wood more suspicious and determined to kill her himself.
• The Divine Venerable of Wood threatened Shennü with her brother Shen Ze’s fate as he ordered her to locate Li Yang.
• Shennü signaled Li Yang, who borrowed the Flower of Evil’s status and used Meld into Space to disappear as the Divine Venerable of Wood arrived.
