Xiao Zhen and his group met Yuan Tiangang, the Degenerate Commander, and agreed to help restore the Tang Dynasty in exchange for his Divination Method and Immortality Elixir formula. Yuan Tiangang invited them to Hidden Soldier Valley, while Nia uncovered the real cause of his disfigurement.

• Xiao Zhen sensed Yuan Tiangang's powerful aura and led the group to meet him.

• After Xiao Zhen asked about Yuan Tiangang's disfigurement, Nia divined that he had been burned while rescuing Empress Wu Zetian during the Shenlong era.

Xiao Zhen challenged Yuan Tiangang’s plan to restore the Tang Dynasty through Li Xingyun and suggested considering another royal heir. He revealed the false Li’s true identity and helped him claim a name of his own, leaving him declaring his ambition to become emperor.

• Yuan Tiangang explained that he had chosen Li Xingyun as the candidate to restore Tang, but Xiao Zhen warned that Li Xingyun might not succeed.
• Xiao Zhen proposed assessing Li Xingyun and, if he proved unsuitable, considering Yuan Tiangang’s other royal-blooded subordinate.
• Xiao Zhen examined the false Li and found evidence that his face had been surgically altered to resemble someone else.
• In a mental space, Xiao Zhen told the false Li about his true identity and challenged him to stop living as Yuan Tiangang’s substitute.
• The false Li admitted he wanted to become emperor and declared, “My name is... Li Ziwo, because I am myself!”

Xiao Zhen brought his group to the Sword Lodge to assess whether Li Xingyun could become emperor, while Yuan Tiangang’s divinations warned that opposing Xiao Zhen would destroy The Degenerate. Yue Buqun tested Li Xingyun but was caught by a Yang-Dissolving Needle, leaving the fight—and his pride—unsettled.

• Yue Buqun and the others attacked Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan to test Li Xingyun’s skill, while Xiao Zhen kept Uncle Yang from intervening.
• Li Xingyun wounded Yue Buqun’s shoulder with a Yang-Dissolving Needle and pressed his attack before Yue Buqun could draw his sword.
• Tony livestreamed Yue Buqun’s predicament to the Chat Group, where the members mocked him and Yue Buqun insisted he could still win.

Yue Buqun defeated Li Xingyun, then revealed that the group had come to test him rather than kill him and hoped he would help restore the Tang Dynasty. Li Xingyun refused the throne, and the chapter ended with Xiao Zhen insulting him as an even worse ruler than Liu A Dou, making him cough blood.

• Yue Buqun used the Nine Swords of Dugu to defeat Li Xingyun, who believed the group were assassins targeting him.
• Yue Buqun explained that the group had only tested Li Xingyun, and Uncle Yang and Xiao Zhen arrived to confirm the disciples were safe.

Xiao Zhen and the others brought Li Xingyun to Hidden Soldier Valley, where Li Xingyun rejected the throne in favor of his lookalike half-brother, Li Ziwo. Yuan Tiangang gathered the feudal kings to recognize Li Ziwo as emperor, but Li Keyong challenged the succession as the assembled rulers weighed their own interests.

• Xiao Zhen and the others rescued Ji Ruxue from Profound Nether Sect pursuers, and Tony used a machine gun to defeat them before Ji Ruxue rode away.
• At Hidden Soldier Valley, Li Xingyun met Yuan Tiangang and his lookalike half-brother, Li Ziwo, and insisted that Li Ziwo should become emperor instead of him.
• Yuan Tiangang left to arrange the feudal kings’ submission, and within ten days they gathered at Hidden Soldier Valley with Li Keyong and his Thirteen Protectors among them.
• Yuan Tiangang presented Li Ziwo on the golden dragon throne as a descendant of Emperor Zhaozong Li Ye of Tang whom he had raised.
• Li Keyong rose from his wheelchair, revealing that he could walk and had surpassed the Great Heavenly Rank, then questioned Li Ziwo’s claim to the throne.

Yuan Tiangang planned to force the warlords to submit by killing Li Keyong, but Xiao Zhen stepped in and killed him first. Li Cunxu then disowned his father’s ambitions and pleaded loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, while Xiao Zhen quietly pursued his own plan to absorb the warlords’ destiny.

• Li Keyong challenged Yuan Tiangang’s claim that the wheelchair-bound man carried the Tang imperial bloodline, and Yuan Tiangang prepared to kill him to intimidate the assembled warlords.
• A Degenerate disguised as Xiao Zhen asked Yuan Tiangang for permission to fight Li Keyong, and Yuan Tiangang agreed.
• Xiao Zhen charged Li Keyong and killed him with a sudden sword strike, then sensed that the Sword of Destiny had absorbed some of Li Keyong’s destiny.
• Li Cunxu knelt and blamed Li Keyong for his rebellion, insisting that the other sons were not responsible.
• Li Cunxu removed his mask, wept, and declared that he and his brothers had failed to stop their father, while Xiao Zhen recognized his talent for acting.

Xiao Zhen and his companions helped Li Ziwo restore the Tang Dynasty by weakening the feudal lords and defeating the Great Liang and Profound Nether Sect. After they departed, Li Ziwo received seeds and instructions for three high-yield crops, while Yuan Tiangang failed to discover where the group had gone.

• Li Ziwo had the feudal lords swear loyalty to the Tang Dynasty by letting Xiao Zhen cut their hands with the Sword of Destiny, which drained their destiny.
• The feudal lords united against Zhu Wen's Great Liang, while Granny Meng and other hidden Degenerates attacked the Profound Nether Sect.

• Yuan Tiangang divined that the crops were genuine but could not determine where Xiao Zhen and his companions had gone.
• Years later, Li Ziwo honored the group with statues and accounts of their deeds, inspiring legends that immortals had visited the mortal world.

• Xiao Zhen sent his gourd avatar out while his true body continued cultivating toward four-star Dou Sheng.
• Zi Yan disrupted a dragon-slayer world mission, leaving Zixiang unable to defeat her.
• Bai Xiaofei borrowed gold from Tony, quit his job, and arranged for Xiao Wei to live safely in another city.

• Bai Xiaofei reached the reservoir and activated the Chat Group livestream as Long You's coffin spread infectious viruses through the water.

The Chat Group offered members the Life-Devouring Elixir before welcoming four newcomers, including Gao Yao, who learned that his future involved forced labor and castration. Honjou Nia pointed him toward a mission that might let him change his fate, leaving Gao Yao to consider becoming the foremost figure in the Great Qin court.

• Xiao Zhen introduced the Life-Devouring Elixir, and members weighed its strength requirements and life-shortening side effects.
• The Chat Group welcomed Transmigrated Chef, Goblin Slayer, Pluto, and Winery Scientist, who changed their names to Gao Yao, Goblin Slayer, Pluto, and Miyano Shiho.

Xiao Zhen agreed to help Gao Yao return to the modern era in exchange for the Heavenly Star and for Gao Yao to castrate Yi Xiaochuan, while Honjou Nia equipped and advised Gao Yao. Xiao Zhen also made a deal with Pluto to help revive his wife, then postponed his trip to the Central Plains as he focused on his affairs across several worlds.

• Xiao Zhen postponed taking Xiao Yan to the Central Plains and spent the following month attending to his women across multiple worlds.

Gao Yao used a Genetic Potion and Iron Armor to escape his labor camp, then followed Honjou Nia’s advice to present himself to Qin Shi Huang as an immortal. He proved his power before Ying Zheng, leaving the emperor and his guards stunned.

• Gao Yao injected the Genetic Potion, gained extraordinary strength, and punched a hole through the hut wall to escape.
• Gao Yao used the Iron Armor to drive off two Qin Soldiers and flew toward the imperial palace as onlookers mistook him for a god.

• Gao Yao reached the palace and told the assembled Qin Soldiers that he had descended from heaven to speak with their emperor.
• Ying Zheng arrived and asked Gao Yao for proof, so Gao Yao blasted a stone pillar in two with the Iron Armor’s Hand Cannon.

Gao Yao won Qin Shi Huang’s favor with a Genetic Enhancement Potion and secretly arranged for Yi Xiaochuan to be taken into the palace and castrated. Days later, Yi Xiaochuan became a eunuch consumed by hatred for Liu Bang, and he encountered Gao Yao again.

• Gao Yao gave Ying Zheng the Genetic Enhancement Potion, earned his approval, and became the Qin Empire’s Imperial Preceptor.

• The middle-aged eunuch castrated Yi Xiaochuan and handed his tiger-shaped pendant to Gao Yao.
• Days later, Yi Xiaochuan vowed revenge on Liu Bang and then recognized Gao Yao, who greeted him.

Gao Yao agreed to give Yi Xiaochuan authorization to lead soldiers against Liu Bang, while secretly following to see whether Yi Xiaochuan could defeat the Son of Destiny. Meanwhile, Xiao Zhen traveled to the Central Plains with Chiyu, who hoped to strengthen her Heaven Demon Phoenix bloodline.

• Yi Xiaochuan asked Gao Yao to send soldiers to arrest Liu Bang, and Gao Yao pretended to hesitate before providing a letter authorizing a hundred elite troops.
• Yi Xiaochuan took the authorization and headed for the military camp, while Gao Yao watched him go and secretly shared news of the confrontation with the Chat Group.
• At the group members’ request, Gao Yao changed into commoner’s clothes and followed Yi Xiaochuan’s squad toward Pei County.
• Xiao Zhen returned to the Central Plains with Xiao Yan and Chiyu, who sought an opportunity to improve her strength and purify her Heaven Demon Phoenix bloodline.
• Xiao Zhen doubted that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would welcome Chiyu, whose bloodline was too thin to earn her more than a low-ranking place in the clan.
