Su Luo battered the three giants with Black Flame Meteorites and a devastating concentrated energy sphere, leaving them badly wounded. As Song Shige returned to defend the Sanctuary, a stealthy soul-type monster attacked, but Su Luo pinned it down with Heartfire and Song Shige struck it.

The cooperation meeting was interrupted when Jiang Mengrui raised Ye Zizhen’s hint about the Sanctuary and the system’s “Severe Punishment,” as Yashan arrived and drew everyone’s attention.

Jiang Mengrui revealed that a Sanctuary nearly destroyed by monsters could inflict permanent attribute loss, prompting the group to examine the dangers of the District War’s elimination rules. After the group used their fourth set of cards to delay and reduce incoming waves, the Scholar departed the Tinder Hall.

• Jiang Mengrui told the group that her teammate had permanently lost three attribute points after his Sanctuary triggered [Near-Destruction Teleportation], and confirmed the loss with his attribute-panel screenshot.
• Father Tali Lang warned that the District War would end when only 10% of groups remained and that Sanctuaries placed along monster paths could be destroyed before the [Tinder].

• The group used their fourth set of cards to delay and reduce the waves, lowering Su Luo’s displayed target from the [Twenty-second wave] to the [Eighteenth wave].
• Jiang Mengrui was credited with providing many of the key cards, and the Scholar thanked everyone before leaving the Tinder Hall.

Su Luo and his allies upgraded the Tinder to Epic quality, gaining enormous power and expanding its radiance across five hundred kilometers. After the district war ended, Su Luo faced a choice between claiming rewards immediately or carrying the Tinder and wave progress into Continued Battle.

• Song Shige fed Tinder Shards into the Tinder, raising it first to Legendary quality and then to Epic quality.
• Su Luo spent more shards to expand the Tinder's radiance to five hundred kilometers, enriching the Mana and boosting his cultivation and attributes.
• Jing Yunxin and Guizishi struggled to control their newfound power, while Su Luo used Black Flame and healing to adapt to his own boost.

• The system announced that the district war had ended and offered the group a choice between settling rewards or proceeding to Continued Battle with their current Tinder status and wave progress.

Su Luo registered for Continued Battle while Jun Lebao’s team learned they had qualified through a revival round and chose to register despite the risks. Guizishi refused to stay behind, so Su Luo used the Soul Servant to shield him from Heartfire, leaving it badly diminished as the team prepared to continue.

• Su Luo chose to carry over his [Tinder] strength and confirmed his Continued Battle registration.
• Jun Lebao learned that his team had qualified through the revival round based on worldwide team points, and he registered them despite a teammate’s warning about facing stronger teams from a weak start.
• Jun Lebao’s team agreed that everyone would register, including the three members carrying Sanctuaries.
• Guizishi refused to stay behind, so Su Luo warned him that Heartfire could burn nearby allies when used at full strength.
• Guizishi used his Automatic Combat Talent to hide inside Jing Yunxin’s Soul Servant, which Su Luo determined could shield him from Heartfire’s area effects.
• Su Luo reinforced Guizishi and Jing Yunxin with soul energy, leaving the Soul Servant shrunken and damaged, then returned to contemplating Heartfire and the Curse.

Su Luo and his team prepared for a defensive Continued Battle, where they had to protect their [Tinder] from incoming attacks. Zhuo Yun Perfected Person prepared for the battle and clashed with a subordinate over his robe and the rules that forbade harming people from their own world.

• The system assigned Su Luo, Song Shige, Jing Yunxin, and Guizishi to Battlefield Number One and announced the defense rules, point settlements, and a thirty-minute preparation phase.
• Su Luo examined the powerful [Tinder], suspected it carried Fortune, and left the altar with Song Shige.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person stored his weapons and treasures in his sleeves while refusing a subordinate's offer of a special combat suit.
• The subordinate mocked Zhuo Yun Perfected Person's self-made robe and reminded him that the Venerable One's rules treated compatriots as equals and forbade killing them.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person invoked the rule to kill outsiders, then angrily reacted as the subordinate reiterated the rule of equality among compatriots.

Zhuo Yun Perfected Person arrived at a gathering of top Survivors from different worlds, where Su Luo assessed the rival teams and made contact with potential allies. The chapter ended as Song Shige used a card to inspect another team’s Tinder Shards and cards.

• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person struggled against his resentment toward the Venerable but obeyed the rules and entered the hall through the [Leyline].
• Song Shige noticed Guizishi and Jing Yunxin were uneasy and told them to leave the gathering.
• Su Luo met the other teams, agreed to discuss cooperation with the investigator from [Exploration Survival], and accepted other teams’ requests to talk.
• Su Luo used the [Tinder Probe Card (special)] and found that seven teams had Legendary-quality Tinders while two had ordinary-quality ones.
• Song Shige used the [Intelligence Peek Card (Random)] to inspect a randomly selected team’s Tinder Shards and cards.

Jiang Mengrui and Su Luo assessed the powerful teams gathered for the Continued Battle and looked for ways to survive among them. Su Luo disguised himself as a Forbidden Existence, leaving Zhuo Yun Perfected Person stunned.

• Song Shige reported that the random target in a black Daoist robe had over ten million Tinder fragments, and Su Luo concluded that the target might be able to kill a level 10 Elite monster alone.
• Jiang Mengrui detected that most teams had Legendary-quality Tinder and realized that two teams had reached Epic quality, then concealed her Goddess of Luck class while introducing herself.
• Su Luo judged that his team might only last until the twenty-fifth wave without hydrogen bombs and resolved to rely on information and the rules rather than a direct fight.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person tried to contact the Epic team and, after reaching Su Luo, asked whether he had earned a Supreme rating in the Trial Instance.
• Su Luo calmly claimed that he had come out of the Trial Instance, disguising himself as a Forbidden Existence and freezing Zhuo Yun Perfected Person's expression.

Su Luo prepared his Fire Domain for the Continued Battle while Song Shige monitored the battlefield and fielded a trade request from Zhuo Yun Perfected Person. The battle began without monsters appearing, and Zhuo Yun gave up trying to negotiate with Song Shige, whom he mistook for a bot.

• Su Luo shared information about twenty cards with Zhuo Yun Perfected Person after agreeing to cooperate with him, as he had with six others.
• The Continued Battle began, and the Guardian Rankings showed no monsters appearing during Wave 18.
• Su Luo expanded his Black Flame Domain to a ten-kilometer radius and raised its core temperature to nearly two hundred thousand degrees before stopping and forming Black Flame Meteorites and unstable energy spheres.
• Song Shige monitored the public channel and accepted a call from Zhuo Yun Perfected Person, who offered a Trade Card in exchange for a Wave Delay Card.
• Song Shige repeatedly agreed without choosing a card, so Zhuo Yun Perfected Person disconnected and called another team.

At the second checkpoint, Song Shige and Su Luo maintained the Number One Group’s Epic Tinder advantage while Song Shige secretly used cards to disrupt rival teams. As new monsters revealed energy from other Survival World systems, Zhuo Yun Perfected Person tried to rally strong teams into an alliance against the Number One Group, but the proposal met resistance.

• Song Shige told Su Luo that he had used six negative cards to stir up trouble among the other teams while they waited for the Continued Battle to end.
• Su Luo monitored the approaching eighteenth wave as Song Shige reported that only 76.43% of groups remained.
• The Number One Group’s Black Flame Domain destroyed most of the incoming monsters, and Su Luo noticed one left behind unfamiliar Vital Energy.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person used a Legendary communication card to bring several strong teams into a private channel and accused the Number One Group of secretly attacking them.
• After learning that random-target cards could affect their users, Zhuo Yun Perfected Person argued that the teams should share card resources and form a defensive alliance against the Number One Group.
• A ten-meter-tall Giant questioned the idea of joining forces against an Epic team.

As the battlefield’s fragile peace held, the investigator sought a way to break the stalemate, while Leopold secretly allied with Song Shige and learned the cost of Epic quality. At Wave 21, Su Luo confronted a massive mechanized assault and sent Guizishi to fight its mech as the Black Flame Domain consumed the drone swarm.

• The Giant condemned the other teams for keeping peace through fear and alliances, then left the channel.
• The investigator shared a Reality Interference Card and asked whether anyone had a Card Quality Breakthrough Card that could make it threaten an Epic-grade target.
• Leopold privately offered Song Shige intelligence and an alliance, exchanged cards, and learned that Epic quality required fifty-five million Tinder Shards.
• At Wave 21, a Deep Space Mothership, a giant war mech, and hundreds of thousands of drones appeared along the attack routes.
• Su Luo sent Guizishi to fight the mech and advanced toward the mothership with his Black Flame Domain, which destroyed the drones’ ammunition and overheated the drones themselves.

Su Luo and Guizishi defeated the mech and captured the Deep Space Mothership during wave twenty-two. After returning, Su Luo found the Laboratory damaged and prepared Song Shige to face the next wave.

• Guizishi rammed the mech and injected Su Luo’s high-energy experimental waste into its body, destroying it from within.
• The Deep Space Mothership’s main cannon pierced Su Luo’s advancing Cocoon, but the Cocoon kept moving through its attacks and melted the warship’s outer shell.
• Su Luo cut the Deep Space Mothership apart, preserving its major systems, and the panel announced the end of wave twenty-two.
• Su Luo returned with the captured warship and found the Laboratory battle-damaged atop the destroyed mech.
• Su Luo sent Guizishi back to his Sanctuary and told Song Shige he would face the next wave, then waited for it to come ashore.

Su Luo and Leopold both unleashed negative cards in the lobby, then Su Luo used Reality Interference Cards to prepare a devastating strike against other teams. Zhuo Yun Perfected Person faced four stacked waves and hurried to upgrade his cards as the consequences of the attack became clear.

• Leopold upgraded the [Shrine] to Epic quality and entered the lobby with a stack of Legendary cards, intent on eliminating weaker teams.
• Su Luo confirmed that eight teams were Legendary quality, upgraded his remaining negative cards, and used most of them as Leopold launched his own negative cards.
• After waiting five minutes, Su Luo used two [Reality Interference Cards] and left the lobby while Leopold chose not to interfere.
• Su Luo and Song Shige harvested energy from Fire Domain Cores and prepared to drop the energy and nukes on selected areas during the interference window.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person saw waves twenty-six through twenty-nine appear and upgraded his prepared negative cards to Legendary quality.

Zhuo Yun Perfected Person fought off a mass attack until his teammates and Sanctuary were destroyed, leaving him as a damaged Golden Core. A colossal Fire Domain Core then struck, and his Sanctuary triggered Near-Destruction Teleportation.

• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person used Targeted Negative Cards against rival teams and Buff Cards on his own, but gained three negative statuses himself.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person unleashed his Golden Core and sword techniques against more than a dozen attackers while the [Leyline] supplied spiritual energy.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person's teammates and Sanctuary were destroyed, and he was reduced to a cracked Golden Core and the remains of his Sanctuary.
• A million-cubic-meter piece of the Fire Domain Core arrived, unleashing a blast of light, heat, and force that overwhelmed the area.
• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person's Sanctuary triggered Near-Destruction Teleportation.

As the destruction spreads, Zhuo Yun Perfected Person loses his attributes and his Golden Core begins to crack, while Victor survives as a shifting soul and prepares a ritual using the upgraded Anchor. Victor sacrifices his remaining power to send the Anchor’s perception toward an incomprehensible dimension, and the chapter ends as he makes contact with something beyond the battlefield.

• Zhuo Yun Perfected Person’s attributes drop, his Golden Core cracks, and he senses the Venerable One condemning him as waste.
• Victor reforms his body from his soul after surviving the energy storm, then lets the Black Flame burn him as he heads for the altar.
• Victor uses his cards and millions of fragments to upgrade the Reality Interference Card and pour the remaining fragments into the Legendary Anchor.
• Victor mutates and performs a blasphemous ritual, enveloping himself and the Anchor in a pulsating flesh-like cavity.
• The Anchor’s perception pierces the battlefield’s planar barrier, and Victor sees something in a distant, incomprehensible dimension.

Victor used [Painting • Fake] to unleash incomprehensible contamination across the battlefield, then regained his human form through Return of Reason. Su Luo and Song Shige were driven toward madness, and Su Luo chose to detonate hydrogen bombs in an attempt to interrupt and reset their condition.

• Victor completed [Painting • Fake] and activated its card effect, briefly restoring his reason and human form.
• The painting's gaze struck the Xiantian martial artist, flooding him with incomprehensible knowledge and driving him toward madness.
• Su Luo and Song Shige were contaminated, while the Epic [Tinder] briefly repelled the effect and strengthened their resistance.
• Su Luo realized that increasing his attributes would not help and prepared a blast to interrupt the contamination and reset his state.
• Su Luo sent more than a dozen high-yield hydrogen bombs toward himself and Song Shige as Black Flame flared; Guizishi had already killed himself.

Su Luo used Jing Yunxin’s Resurrection Talent to restore himself and the others after hydrogen bombs destroyed their bodies and Contamination. With the survivors recovering and the Continued Battle nearing its end, Su Luo prepared to use his remaining Reality Interference Card for retaliation.

• Su Luo used the Talisman of Favor and Anchored Pocket Watch to regain control of his mind, then guided Jing Yunxin to activate Resurrection as their bodies and souls were destroyed by the hydrogen bombs.
• Jing Yunxin resurrected herself, Su Luo, Song Shige, and Guizishi, and Su Luo burned Contamination from the dismantled Sanctuaries.
• Su Luo explained to Guizishi that Resurrection depended on consciousness remaining intact during the ongoing process of death.
• Song Shige and Guizishi disagreed about whether the strange attack resembled the Cthulhu Mythos or a memetic assault.
• Su Luo noticed that 12.69% of teams remained and released a mutating piece of flesh beside the Fire Domain, preparing to use his last Reality Interference Card.

The battle royale left only four teams after successive waves of lethal attacks and battlefield-wide interference. As the survivors waited for the Continued Battle countdown, Su Luo unleashed a growing mass of mutated flesh into the Legendary investigator’s battlefield.

• Number One Group and Leopold’s coordinated Legendary card storm eliminated several teams, while Number One Group’s later interference and Victor’s attack wiped out more.
• Leopold entered the Hall of Consciousness and found the senior investigator, the Demon King, and an unfamiliar being who had replaced Zhuo Yun.
• The unfamiliar being identified himself as the Venerable One of World 15437, then vanished; the senior investigator soon left as well.
• Su Luo confined a mass of mutated flesh in the laboratory and watched it grow rapidly as it consumed Mana and elemental matter.
• Su Luo deployed a [Reality Interference Card] into the Legendary investigator’s battlefield, placing it away from Victor so the Mutation could grow.

After the Continued Battle, Su Luo’s team earned 542 points and received regional and personal titles before the team points shop opened. The group bought Diamond Chests and decided to leave the Monster Tide wave reduction coupon unpurchased, while Su Luo remained unable to reach the altar’s Tinder.

• The system announced the Continued Battle results, awarding the region two titles and Su Luo three titles, then opened the temporary team points shop.
• Su Luo tried to take the Epic-grade Tinder from the altar but found it protected, while the group wondered why the shop’s all-points Unknown item was grayed out.
• Su Luo estimated the points’ purchasing power, and the four team members voted to buy the one-time Diamond Chest reward.
• Song Shige considered buying a Monster Tide Basic Wave Reduction Coupon, but the group concluded Zone 76’s strength would outpace the waves and chose not to reduce the pressure.

Song Shige and Su Luo spent their Continued Battle points on zone benefits and personal items. Su Luo obtained a Legendary book called Genli Zhi Mo, whose effects could help him manipulate energy and analyze targets, while its final ability remained mysterious.

• Song Shige’s group bought two Dangerous Terrain Suppression Tickets and two Regional Tax Exemption Tickets, then used their remaining points on titles, zone-wide buildings, and other benefits.
• The zone gained the Radiant, The First to Strike, and Hold On to Your Sanity titles, along with a Healing Spring and a Flame Tower.
• Su Luo examined the Temporary Personal Points Shop and bought a Near-Death Teleportation Ticket, a Legendary-quality item, three Personal Title Slot Expansion Tickets, three blue Attribute Skill Books, friend-slot cards, and rare materials.
• Su Luo received Genli Zhi Mo, a Legendary book that reduced Mana consumption, improved energy affinity and precision, and granted Synchronisation, Strategic Calculation, and Paradox Inscription.

Su Luo salvaged the battlefield’s most valuable spoils, chose titles for Zone 76, and prepared to return for his Purple Skill. After the plane collapsed, two unseen forces divided its cores and sent them into other worlds, where a youth and a tribal leader each received a new source of power.

• Su Luo dismantled his laboratory, reduced the mothership wreckage and giant blade, and packed the valuable salvage into two Sanctuary frames.
• The three strongest people in Zone 76 selected seven titles for the zone, including [United as One].
• Su Luo configured his personal titles and prepared to return to reclaim his Purple Skill.
• After the group departed, the plane’s ten cores escaped its collapse and entered a vast sea of cores in an indescribable gap.
• Two unseen beings divided the cores, marked them, and sent them across countless worlds.
• A youth on a blue planet received a [Civilization Tinder], while a tribal leader found a [shrine] that named her the master of a [Source of Faith].

Su Luo returned from the Continued Battle and unloaded the battlefield salvage and Laboratory components at Jing Yunxin’s and Guizishi’s Sanctuaries. After reviewing Zone 76’s rewards and discussing resource distribution with Qin Lang, he headed to the Mutual Aid Association’s cleared land to work in seclusion.

• Su Luo flew to Jing Yunxin’s Sanctuary, where he met Qin Lang and began unloading his tightly packed supplies.
• Su Luo reviewed the District War results: three professionals had died, five had suffered permanent Attribute losses, and Zone 76 had won two Diamond Chests, thirty Gold Chests, and sixty-seven Iron Chests.
• Su Luo and Qin Lang discussed distributing the chest rewards through contribution exchanges, special-purpose loans, and large-scale crafting projects.
• Su Luo agreed to send technical approaches and supply lists later, said he would be outside the zone for several days, and asked Qin Lang where Song Shige was.
• Su Luo unloaded supplies at Guizishi’s Sanctuary, then returned to the Mutual Aid Association’s cleared land and surrounded it with Black Flame to keep monsters away.

Su Luo rebuilt his temporary laboratory and began restoring his body and mental world after resurrection. As he worked, he read World Channel messages about the confusing District War and learned that Continued Battle qualification depended on team points.

• Su Luo assembled a temporary laboratory, then used its Mana Pool to heal himself while reconstructing his mental world and bodily energy cycles.
• Su Luo carefully scanned his body and soul and found no trace of the indescribable thing.
• Su Luo browsed World Channel messages and encountered bizarre reports about specialized products sold during the District War.
• Survivors discussed the District War’s defense waves and card system, with many confused about how the competition worked.
• A message clarified that Continued Battle qualification required a team to rank in the worldwide top ten percent by points, not merely survive until the remaining teams reached ten percent.

Su Luo reviewed reactions to the District War and considered how powerful regions such as District 66666 might become as the rewards accelerated development. After Zone 76’s Monster Tide ended with almost no deaths, he read reports from survivors of the chaotic Continued Battle, whose participants had now returned.

• Survivors discussed District War rewards, exchange limits, Dungeon access, and the advantages of regions with many class holders.
• Su Luo skimmed more than a hundred thousand messages and noted that the District War had caused fewer casualties than the previous round.
• Qin Lang reported that Zone 76’s average primary attribute had reached 11.7 and that the group was now focusing on secondary attributes.
• Su Luo considered Father Tali Lang, Ye Zizhen, and Ye Fan as possible reasons other regions might rival Zone 76’s development.
• Survivors reported that Continued Battle had become a chaotic fight as visitors from other worlds attacked without introductions.

Su Luo reviewed reports of the deaths and Forbidden Existences encountered in Continued Battle, then waited for the mental world to finish. He assigned Xiao Luo to build the body's circulatory systems while he went to study in the Dream Library.

• Survivors described Continued Battle's brutal battles, strange enemies, and the lack of Near-Death Teleportation.
• Su Luo asked everyone to report the Forbidden Existences they encountered in their District Wars, and Ye Fan and others shared descriptions from their battlefields.
• Participants speculated about the system, the unknown points-shop exchange, and whether Ye Fan was a Forbidden Existence.
• Su Luo lurked for more than two hours until the mental world was complete.
• Su Luo sent Xiao Luo to construct the body's two circulatory systems and energy flows while he entered the Dream Library to study.
