Summary

Mei Lun realizes that defeating the massive ghost ship will take time and resources, prompting him to devise a plan. He balances the power of the Fairy Kingdom with the ghost ship, neutralizing its suppression. Unleashing his dogs, Spike and little Hong Lian, Mei Lun prepares for battle. Spike engages the ghost captain, while little Hong Lian consumes the ghost ship's power, boosting Mei Lun's strength. As the fight intensifies, Mei Lun considers Spike's growth and future evolution, while also envisioning a mechanical path for Jia Lu Lu, his mechanical dog. During the battle, Carl, the ghost captain's son, understands that the ghost captain is not his father but a unified consciousness of the crew. Carl decides to help his father find peace, ultimately stabbing the ghost captain with a sword named "Fatherly Love and Farewell," which allows him to inherit the ghost captain's authority. Carl becomes the new Captain Ghost, gaining command over the ghost ship. The chapter concludes with Carl's mixed fate as he gains power but faces the risk of being assimilated by the ghost ship. Mei Lun takes precautions to ensure Carl remains trustworthy while exploring a nearby ship filled with inert energy stones, remnants from a previous Transcendent era.
