The Mist Lord’s lingering mist witnessed the staged encounter at the Thirty-Sixth Node, and Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu used it to make Youlan look like the Bearded Pirate Group’s Mastermind.

• Mu Qingxue agreed to lead Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu into Minhuo Forbidden Zone, but Zheng Yuanchuan warned that her expeditions had endangered those who went with her.

• Jiang Fu multiplied the Spatial Mirror's power, opening it and sending a surging mist into Minhuo Forbidden Zone.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu unleashed the Fog Forbidden Zone's Mist into the Minhuo Forbidden Zone, overwhelming its Compassion Flame and uncovering a gigantic altar at the zone's heart. Mist Lord was confronted by the Lord of the Minhuo Forbidden Zone, who accused her of starting a battle between Forbidden Zones.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu decided to seize the other Forbidden Zones by turning them into Fog Forbidden Zones and framing Lingyue Pavilion, beginning with Minhuo.

• The Lord of the Minhuo Forbidden Zone accused the Mist Lord of conspiring with Xia Country and Lingyue Pavilion, then ordered his forces to kill her.

The Mist Lord tried to escape the Minhuo Forbidden Zone as its Lord mistook her for the cause of the spreading fog and moved to sacrifice her. The Execution Lord intervened, but his arrival led to open conflict and the revelation of a Lingyue Pavilion trap, leaving the Minhuo Lord summoning a God King through a mass sacrifice.

• The Lord of the Minhuo Forbidden Zone and ten High Gods surrounded the Mist Lord, blaming her for the fog corrupting their Forbidden Zone.

• The altar erupted with Compassion Flame, turning every living being in the Minhuo Forbidden Zone except its Lord—including nine High Gods—into blank shells.

• The Execution Lord appeared, bound the Mist Lord with Chains, and dragged her away while Jiang Fu faced the God King.
• The Lord of the Minhuo Forbidden Zone identified Jiang Fu as an intruder from the Lingyue Pavilion, and Jiang Fu struck the God King with a black Club.
• The God King inferred that the Lingyue Pavilion had orchestrated the Fog Forbidden Zone’s invasion, then tried to burn Jiang Fu’s soul as a sacrifice.
• Jiang Fu’s Dodge Sequence prevented the Compassion Flame from harming him, and his Taunt Sequence forced the God King to attack instead of fleeing.

After the God King’s avatar vanished, Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu claimed the Minhuo Forbidden Zone’s Boundary Seal and forced its lord, Xuanyi, to submit. They discovered the zone had been used to lure people for sacrifices and learned that its altar was an Abyss treasure, while the other Forbidden Zones might conceal similar relics.

• The God King severed his connection to his avatar, which vanished in Minhuo flames to escape the fused Sequences’ influence.
• Shi Jiu retrieved the Boundary Seal and information about Hell from the Abyss Altar, then shrank the altar and handed it to Jiang Fu.
• Xuanyi surrendered to Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu, signed a sequence contract, and revealed that the Forbidden Zone’s supposed treasures were bait for sacrifices.
• Xuanyi explained that offerings fed the God King in the altar, while most of the sacrificial power went somewhere unknown.
• Jiang Fu identified the altar as an Abyss treasure like the Abyss Furnace, and he and Shi Jiu resolved to seize similar treasures from the other Forbidden Zones.
• Jiang Fu discovered that the Fog Forbidden Zone’s treasure was in the Cage world and that the world above the Abyss had failed to become a Forbidden Zone after the Four-Absolute God King was killed.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu uncovered how the Forbidden Zone’s Boundary Seals and the Abyss Mother Tree related to world origins, then turned the Minhuo Forbidden Zone into the New Fog Forbidden Zone. After Xuanyi received the Boundary Seal and a protective item, Jiang Fu examined a book about the Hell Sequence and confirmed it was a trap.

• Shi Jiu expelled the Minhuo Forbidden Zone’s Boundary Seal from the Abyss Altar, and Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu concluded that Forbidden Zone seals were world-origin fulcrums tied to their sources of power.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu reasoned that the Abyss Furnace had refined the Abyss Mother Tree’s Origin, while Moonheart Bamboo was feeding on that Origin; Xuanyi then revealed that Domain Demons had emerged from the altar.
• Jiang Fu decided to seek Abyss-level treasures from the other Forbidden Zones, while Shi Jiu infused the Minhuo Boundary Seal with Fog power and transformed the region into the New Fog Forbidden Zone.
• Shi Jiu gave Xuanyi the Boundary Seal as the new Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and Jiang Fu gave him a Death-Exemption Gold Medal.
• Xuanyi gave Jiang Fu a black book about the Hell Sequence and warned that its legends were a trap; Jiang Fu read it and confirmed the warning.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that the black book’s method for forging Hell required the deaths of an entire civilized world, and realized the world Nether Phoenix had emptied could supply them. After securing the Abyss Altar and leaving Xuanyi in charge of the Forbidden Zone, they returned to the experts from Xia Country.

• Jiang Fu explained that the black book described forging Hell from the deaths and collapse of a civilized world, and warned Shi Jiu that the method could be a trap.
• Shi Jiu realized that Nether Phoenix had killed every Deity in the world above the Abyss, leaving its original death intact, and proposed using it to create Hell and help their family recover.
• Jiang Fu agreed and planned to return to the world, where the Four-Absolute God King's corpse lay near its World Origin, to deal with any new Deities and gather more resources for Hell.
• Jiang Fu stored the Abyss Altar in the True Fire World under the Level 210 Ancestral Vein’s suppression, then left Xuanyi in charge and directed him to seek help from CEO Shen if needed.
• Xuanyi embraced his new authority and decided to guard the gate and help the Fog Forbidden Zone develop.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu reappeared before the forty-five experts from Xia Country, and Mu Qingxue rushed over to praise them.

Mu Qingxue and the other Snowbeards left the Minhuo Forbidden Zone, only to learn that Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu had claimed it as the Bearded Pirate Group’s territory and transformed it into the New Fog Forbidden Zone. Mu Qingxue mourned the decades she had spent gathering what turned out to be junk, even as an Abyss Potion pushed her Ice and Snow Sequence to Level Seven.

• Mu Qingxue announced that all forty-five Snowbeards had joined the Bearded Pirate Group, then urged the group to leave the now-barren Forbidden Zone.
• The Snowbeards rode out of the Forbidden Zone on the Hundred-Ton King's vehicle, while Shi Jiu contacted Great-Grandma and asked Jiang Fu about Lingyue Pavilion’s remaining forces.
• Jiang Fu explained that the Mist Lord’s true self and clones had been defeated, leaving only the Thunder Lord and Lingyue Pavilion’s formations in the Skyvault Desert.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu told Mu Qingxue that the former Minhuo Forbidden Zone was now the Bearded Pirate Group’s New Fog Forbidden Zone and headquarters.
