Lin Zhen learned from Bao Zi and Chris how Mirage Town and the Dominator Heaven Tablet ranked Quasi-Dominators competing for a chance to claim a Dominator God Crystal. After finding Bao Zi ranked beyond ninety thousand, Lin Zhen agreed to explore Mirage Town with him.

• Ardent Sun caught up with Lin Zhen and Bao Zi and demanded their points.
• Bao Zi stepped in front of Lin Zhen and urged him to manifest his Dominator Heaven Tablet, but Ardent Sun swung his saber to attack.

Lin Zhen faced Ardent Sun’s three-strike challenge to earn the right to remain in Mirage Town. Though Ardent Sun’s final attack overwhelmed him, Lin Zhen survived and asked whether he had passed the trial.

• Lin Zhen remained standing after Ardent Sun’s third strike and asked whether he had earned the right to stay in Mirage Town.

After Ardent Sun broke their agreement and eliminated Lin Zhen and Bao Zi, Lin Zhen gave Bao Zi two weapons and reentered Mirage Town alone to find a place to cultivate. He discovered that Town Hospital was occupied by female Martial Artists and spotted its restroom as a possible hiding place.

• Lin Zhen entered Town Hospital, saw that its cultivation rooms were occupied by female Martial Artists, and noticed the restroom nearby.

Lin Zhen found an undisturbed bathroom in Mirage Town and used its dense Vital Essence and powerful cultivation effects to improve his strength. After more than nine hundred years of meditation, he reached the threshold of breaking through to the Middle Stage Upper God.

• Lin Zhen entered the empty hospital bathroom under the Thunder Concealment Cloak and decided it was a safe place to cultivate.

• Lin Zhen reached the threshold of breaking through to the Middle Stage Upper God before a thousand years had passed.

After more than nine hundred years of cultivation, Lin Zhen broke through to Middle Stage Upper God and greatly increased his divine power. When Kui Hua Hen sensed his aura and searched the restroom, he concealed himself as she came within centimeters of him.

• Lin Zhen broke through to Middle Stage Upper God, raising his personal divine power to 32.1 million with God's Domain and his clones.

• Lin Zhen concealed his presence with the Thunder Concealment Cloak as Kui Hua Hen searched the Men's Room for an intruder.
• Kui Hua Hen leaned toward Lin Zhen until their faces were less than two centimeters apart.

Lin Zhen narrowly avoided being discovered by Kui Hua Hen, a ruthless Female Devil whose past had driven her to massacre her enemies and countless innocents. He stayed hidden for decades, completed the Inner Lion Seal, and then cultivated the Time Law as he prepared to challenge stronger opponents.

• Nearly a hundred years passed as Lin Zhen's Time Law cultivation approached completion.

After mastering Time Acceleration and Time Deceleration, Lin Zhen defeated a virtual copy of his hundred-years-younger self and decided to leave the hospital for a Cultivation Spot. Before he could escape, Kui Hua Hen entered the restroom, mistook someone nearby for the man who had seen her changing a hundred years earlier, and left Lin Zhen trying to slip away unnoticed.

• Kui Hua Hen charged into the Men's Room after detecting the same disturbance and accused the unseen person of fooling her a hundred years earlier.
• Lin Zhen realized Kui Hua Hen was referring to the time he had seen her changing and slowly tried to escape over the wall into the Women's Room.

Lin Zhen escaped Kui Hua Hen by kicking another man into her path, then hid in her dressing room. Kui Hua Hen returned and, while changing and combing her hair, reflected on her lonely pursuit of becoming a Dominator.

• Lin Zhen kicked a newcomer into view, and Kui Hua Hen mistook him for the man she was hunting.

Lin Zhen escaped Kui Hua Hen after taking advantage of her while hidden, then entered East Town to seek a Cultivation Spot. He remained undiscovered and asked Chris to help him choose a target, but she worried he might assault her too.

• Lin Zhen thrust at Kui Hua Hen while concealed, then fled Mirage Town before her retaliatory strike could hit him.

• Lin Zhen hid in East Town, waited until Kui Hua Hen did not pursue him, and removed the Thunder Concealment Cloak.
• Lin Zhen checked the rankings and saw that his zero points placed him last, which discouraged others from attacking him.
• Lin Zhen asked Chris to introduce the local Cultivation Spots, and Chris hesitantly asked whether he would secretly assault her too.

Kui Hua Hen triggered a beast tide to flush Lin Zhen out, risking her points and chance at the Dominator God Crystal. As the invasion began, Lin Zhen learned how dangerous it was and decided to use the upheaval to seize a better Cultivation Spot.

• Kui Hua Hen spent ninety percent of her points and offered her Top Grade Weapon short sword to trigger a beast tide so she could find Lin Zhen.
• Golden Peng Ancestor and the other top-ranked candidates learned of Kui Hua Hen’s move, and Zi Xing He contacted them to plan against her.

• Chris warned Lin Zhen that the demon beasts could be powerful enough to eliminate him, but explained that the invasion might let him claim a better Cultivation Spot.
• Lin Zhen abandoned his attempt to reach the restaurant and hid in a dark corner with his twin swords, watching the holes in the sky.

• Lin Zhen fought the rats in an alley while a greedy Quasi-Dominator was overwhelmed and eaten alive.
• Lin Zhen activated his Primal Chaos Armor and Demon God Wings, then charged into the swarm and steadily gained points.

Lin Zhen learned how Energy Orbs and the Mirage Mall worked, then sought a newly unclaimed Cultivation Spot as the Demon Bull herd arrived. He escaped the Bloodthirsty Rats and raced toward the fiftyfold accelerated spot before the herd reached him.

• Lin Zhen killed a Bloodthirsty Rat, collected its Energy Orb, and learned from Chris that orbs could be exchanged for items in the Mirage Mall.
• Lin Zhen browsed the Mirage Mall and found weapons, Life Gene Serum, and Dominator-level techniques, including items he wanted but could not yet afford.
• Chris explained that stronger beasts dropped more valuable orbs and that the beast tide could last years or even centuries, with a Dominator-level Emperor-Level Beast among the Twelve Zodiacs.
• The Demon Bull herd arrived, and a Quasi-Dominator chasing an elite Bloodthirsty Rat was overwhelmed and killed by the bulls and rats.
• Lin Zhen learned that the dead Quasi-Dominator's fiftyfold accelerated Cultivation Spot was in an inn four hundred meters away, then sprinted through the Bloodthirsty Rats toward it.

Lin Zhen arrived at the Fifty Times Cultivation Point and joined eleven other Quasi-Dominators in a contest to claim it. After the contestants were teleported into the sealed zone and one was eliminated, Chris urged Lin Zhen to collect Energy Orbs and buy a Double Cultivation Effect Fragment.

• Lin Zhen found more than a dozen Quasi-Dominators gathered outside the hotel and learned that a twelve-person contest could secure the Cultivation Spot and protect its winner for a year.
• Ice Emperor proposed the contest, and Bone, Scar, Mark, Demon Bow, Lin Zhen, Black Shark, and the remaining martial artists agreed to join.
• The twelve contestants activated the contest zone around the Fifty Times Cultivation Point and were randomly teleported within it.
• Lin Zhen appeared in a residence basement and discovered that one contestant had already been eliminated.
• Chris advised Lin Zhen to gather two thousand Energy Orbs for a Double Cultivation Effect Fragment, which could stack with the Fifty Times Cultivation Point.
