Chapter Summaries

After the Sequence Research Institute tried to take control of Ancient Cold Pass and recruit Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu, Lu Yuanchen ordered its delegation killed. Shi Jiu then considered visiting the institute herself, but Lin Que urgently warned her not to go because Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu’s successful research had made her its result.

• Lu Yuanchen finished rebuilding Ancient Cold Pass, then heard the Sequence Research Institute announce that the pass would be jointly defended and that Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu would be recruited as researchers.
• Lu Yuanchen blamed himself for the deaths of seven researchers and ordered Long Qiancheng, Xia Yuncang, Yu Liuli, Wen Shuhe, Shi Yuehan, and the others to attack the delegation.
• The Xia Country fighters killed all seven visitors, while Shi Yuehan’s reality sequence made it appear that the Realm Demon had torn them apart.
• Lu Yuanchen reassured Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu that they were victims, not responsible for the losses at Ancient Cold Pass.
• Shi Jiu said she might visit the Sequence Research Institute, but Lin Que forbade it and revealed that she was the result of Ning Chengfeng and Yun Luoyu’s successful research.

Lin Que forbade Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu from approaching the Sequence Research Institute, then revealed that Shi Er had infiltrated it six years earlier. After Shi Jiu produced Realm Beast Lan and Mo Ran Qinghui, Jiang Fu suspected that someone was fusing monsters in an attempt to restore the shattered Sequence.

• Lin Que ordered Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu to stay away from the Sequence Research Institute and told Jiang Fu to keep Shi Jiu in check.
• Lin Que contacted Shi Er, his informant inside the Sequence Research Institute, and revealed that Shi Er had infiltrated it six years earlier after suspicions arose about the institute's role in Ancient Cold Pass's near-fall.
• Lin Que connected the institute to possible interference in the attack on Ning Chengfeng, Yun Luoyu, and Ning Ranxin, as well as the coming evaluation of Tianhuang Martial Arts University's research laboratories.
• Jiang Fu wondered whether he could destroy the Sequence Research Institute, but Lu Yuanchen warned that its destruction might disable humanity's defense systems.
• Shi Jiu revealed that last night's monster assault coincided with a brief defense-system shutdown, then produced Realm Beast Lan and the unconscious Mo Ran Qinghui, whose power resembled Realm Demon: Red Chaser.
• Jiang Fu suspected that people might be fusing monsters to restore the shattered Sequence and resolved to test the idea with the Stone he held.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu left Ancient Cold Pass while Lu Yuanchen and the other Saint Ascendants prepared pirate-style retaliation against the Sequence Research Institute. On the way back, Jiang Fu discovered a contradiction about Lingyue Pavilion’s headquarters and suspected it might not belong to this world.

• Jiang Fu handed Mo Ran Qinghui and the Humanoid Realm Beast to Lu Yuanchen’s group, then left with Shi Jiu as Shi Yuehan reclaimed the Giant Python and stormed off to attack the Mo and Huyan families.
• Ouyang Zheng and the others warned that the Ling Family might be connected to the Foolish View Forbidden Zone, and Lu Yuanchen’s group decided to use a young Qing Family genius to investigate.
• Lu Yuanchen and the other pirates assigned domestic matters and research to Cheng Du’s group, then vanished to hunt powerful enemies, bringing Lu Pin, Qing Ling, and Han Sichen with them.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu read that Lingyue Pavilion and Blue Shore Group would help defend Ancient Cold Pass and that they had joined the Sequence Research Institute; Shi Jiu then questioned the Order Divine Artifact about Lingyue Pavilion’s headquarters.
• After the Order Divine Artifact said the headquarters was unharmed despite Jiang Fu’s evidence that it had been destroyed, Jiang Fu asked whether Lingyue Pavilion was outside this world.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that the Sequence Research Institute had been infiltrated by an outside force and used Multiply by Ten to destroy the infiltrators’ headquarters. On their way back to Tianhuang Martial Arts University, they encountered a bonded puppet whose mysterious ability failed to save it from Shi Jiu’s hammer.

• Jiang Fu confirmed that the Sequence Research Institute had been infiltrated and linked the Humanoid Realm Beasts to both the Institute and Lingyue Pavilion.
• Jiang Fu multiplied and destroyed the headquarters of outside forces that had infiltrated the Sequence Research Institute, while Shi Jiu agreed that they needed a new defense system.
• As Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu rested in their self-driving vehicle, an explosion ahead forced them to turn back and face a puppet bearing the Sequence Research Institute’s insignia.
• Shi Jiu smashed the puppet with her Pink-Bow Sledgehammer after its strange ability caused her swing to wobble; thirty li away, its creator was injured and realized her opponent had relied on martial arts alone.

Qiao Ru’s Lifebound Puppet was destroyed by Shi Jiu, and Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu took the Sequence Codex from its wreckage. Qiao Ru and the other Sequence Research Institute students realized the device was missing and set off for Tianhuang Martial Arts University to retrieve it.

• Qiao Ru told the other Sequence Research Institute students that Shi Jiu had destroyed her Lifebound Puppet with one hammer swing, and she had sensed fate rather than a Sequence.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu found the Sequence Codex among the Puppet parts and tested it with Multiply by Ten, confirming it was a valuable Sequence-detection device.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu suspected the device was part of an elaborate plot, stored it in the True Water Realm, and teleported away.
• Qiao Ru and the others arrived and searched the wreckage, but Qiao Ru discovered that the Sequence Codex was gone.
• The oldest young man concluded that Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu had taken the device and led the group toward Tianhuang Martial Arts University.

Shi Wu and the university staff waited outside the Wind Feather Laboratory while Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu remained inside, unaware that the pair had spent the night together. When they finally emerged, Ou Zongyang publicly accused them of abandoning the defense of Ancient Cold Pass, prompting returned Ascetics to wonder why he was asking where the two had gone when they had fought beside them.

• Shi Wu returned to Tianhuang Martial Arts University with Shi Qinglong and Shi Qingluan and waited outside the Wind Feather Laboratory, unable to reach Shi Jiu.
• Jiang Fu helped Shi Jiu relieve her frustration, and the pair slept inside the laboratory while rumors spread and the Sequence Research Institute's representatives arrived demanding to see them.
• Gao Jiahao and Qiao Ru waited outside the laboratory through the night with university officials, while Shi Wu worried and Xia Fan stayed nearby.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu opened the laboratory the next morning, and Jiang Fu warned Shi Jiu that the Sequence Research Institute's people and Qiao Ru were waiting outside.
• Ou Zongyang confronted Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu for missing the defense of Ancient Cold Pass, and Ascetics who had fought there wondered why he asked where they had gone.

Ascetics from Ancient Cold Pass defended Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu against Ou Zongyang, praising their bravery and challenging Gao Jiahao to wait for the Sequence Research Institute deputy director. While the pair hid inside Wind Feather Laboratory, they realized their enemies might be delivering treasures to them and decided they could not let them die.

• Ye Zhe dismissed a visitor who suggested the Hammer Club was unnecessary and continued organizing its paperwork with the former Yuntian Martial Arts Hall members.
• An Ascetic confronted Ou Zongyang and revealed that Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu had fought at Ancient Cold Pass, prompting other returning Ascetics to defend the pair and condemn Ou.
• When Gao Jiahao threatened that the Sequence Research Institute deputy director would arrive over the stolen Sequence Codex, the Ascetics welcomed the chance to wait for him and ordered bystanders away.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu stayed inside Wind Feather Laboratory, embarrassed by the praise, then realized their enemies might be handing them treasures and resolved not to let them die.

Lu Yuanchen’s group hunted through the Chaotic Region while Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu examined the Sequence Research Institute’s stolen treasure. Gao Jiahao demanded its return outside Wind Feather Laboratory, and Jiang Fu went out to meet him.

• Lu Pin worried that the Jiang Family might be wiped out, but Lu Yuanchen said they would spare it for Jiang Fu’s sake.
• Han Sichen spotted a Sky Ghost, and Xia Yuncang, Long Qiancheng, and Lu Yuanchen threw Han Sichen, Lu Pin, and Qing Ling toward it for experience.
• Lu Yuanchen and the others suspected Su Yu had used Crimson King to make them forget something, but she denied it and moved away.
• Gao Jiahao demanded that Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu return the Sequence Codex, while Ou Zongyang’s group backed away from the dispute.
• Shi Jiu determined that the camera-like treasure contained something reinforced by the Spatial Sequence, and Jiang Fu decided to meet Gao Jiahao.
• Jiang Fu stepped out of Wind Feather Laboratory, and Qiao Ru shouted for him to return her treasure.

Jiang Fu confronted Gao Jiahao and Qiao Ru over their attack on him and Shi Jiu, while suspecting the Sequence Research Institute's geniuses had been corrupted by the Otherworld's Power of Foolish Insight. After Gao Jiahao attacked with Sequence: Speedster, Jiang Fu knocked him down with the Pink-Bow Sledgehammer and kept striking as he tried to rise.

• The Ascetics warmly greeted Jiang Fu, and Qiao Ru admitted that the puppet that had ambushed Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu belonged to her.
• Gao Jiahao announced that the Sequence Research Institute had admitted Jiang Fu as a second-tier researcher and demanded that he return the stolen treasure and come with them.
• Jiang Fu suspected that the Otherworld had used the Power of Foolish Insight to cloud the minds of the Institute's geniuses.
• Gao Jiahao activated Sequence: Speedster and charged Jiang Fu, but Jiang Fu struck him with the Pink-Bow Sledgehammer and sent him crashing to the ground.
• Qiao Ru panicked at the sight of Jiang Fu's hammer blow, while Gao Jiahao got up and began to taunt him.
• Jiang Fu struck Gao Jiahao again, hit the lump on the back of his head, and advanced to continue hammering him.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu defeated five Sequence Research Institute prodigies at Wind Feather Laboratory and took them into custody. Ou Zongyang and the others were left expecting the Institute’s deputy director to retaliate.

• Jiang Fu used his Extreme True Glasses and hammer to repeatedly strike Gao Jiahao, studying how the Speed Sequence enhanced and protected his body.
• Shi Jiu joined the fight, knocked out the other three attackers with her sledgehammer, and helped Jiang Fu defeat Gao Jiahao.
• Shi Jiu invoked her and Jiang Fu’s researcher status to justify taking all five Institute members, and Qiao Ru willingly lay down to be captured.
• Jiang Fu bound the five with a Soul-Binding Lock, thanked the ascetics, and took the captives back into Wind Feather Laboratory with Shi Jiu and Shi Wu.
• Xia Fan declared the university would take the afternoon off to celebrate its two researchers, while Ou Zongyang’s group anticipated the deputy director’s response.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that the Sequence Codex was designed to track and monitor people, then found a tampered Sequence Prohibition that could explode and destroy nearby Sequences. After Jiang Fu warned Shi Jiu that her second brother might be affected by the Power of Foolish Insight, Yun Yi assured them that Shi Er was safe.

• Shi Wu arrived at Wind Feather Laboratory looking for food while Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu went upstairs and told him to keep an eye on the five people.
• Shi Jiu determined that the Sequence Codex could track locations and monitor people through the Spatial Sequence, and Jiang Fu confirmed its functions with his Appraisal Screen.
• Shi Jiu warned Jiang Fu that the Sequence Codex was connected to another part, so using Multiply by Ten on it could affect both sides.
• Jiang Fu identified the Tampered Sequence Prohibition as a bomb that could destroy Sequences, and he planned to use Multiply by Eleven on it against Lingyue Pavilion.
• Jiang Fu told Shi Jiu his suspicions about the Power of Foolish Insight and worried it might have affected Shi Er, who had infiltrated the Sequence Research Institute.
• Shi Jiu contacted Yun Yi, who assured her that Shi Er would be safe.

Yun Yi told Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu that Shi Cangming had secretly infiltrated the Sequence Research Institute to investigate its dangers, while the Institute had also exploited Ning Ranxin’s talent through her nine children. He warned Jiang Fu to keep Shi Jiu away from the Institute, and the two discussed destroying it after Xia Country’s independent defense system was ready and Shi Er had left.

• Yun Yi explained that Shi Cangming had joined the Sequence Research Institute’s ranks by controlling the soul of one of its Core Executives, and that he had helped Shi Er enter the Institute without Shi Er knowing.
• Yun Yi revealed that Ning Ranxin had been a celebrated prodigy whose talent was gradually taken from her as she bore nine children, and he said Shi Cangming had been unable to save her or Shi Jiu’s maternal grandparents.
• Yun Yi sternly told Jiang Fu not to let Shi Jiu go near the Sequence Research Institute, and Shi Jiu said she would go wherever Jiang Fu went.
• Jiang Fu jokingly suggested blowing up the Institute, and Yun Yi said they could do so after Xia Country developed its independent defense system and Shi Er left.
• Yun Yi explained that Shi Cangming was remotely controlling a Core Executive from the Imperial Capital and asked Jiang Fu to send him supplies because the operation had nearly bankrupted the Shi Family.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu learned that the Shi Family had little wealth and discussed how to protect Shi Cangming while preparing to use five captives in their research. At Wind Feather Laboratory, Cheng Du confronted Xia Fan and met Shi Wu, who revealed his longing for Lanlan.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discovered that Shi Cangming's hidden Treasury was empty, and Yun Yi explained how little money the Shi Family had.
• Yun Yi warned Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu that Shi Cangming and Shi Er might be in danger, and Jiang Fu decided they could visit the Shi Family or send a soul-type Sequence Item.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu chose to study the Power of Foolish Insight using five captives and considered presenting it alongside the Bomb-Version Sequence Prohibition at the laboratory assessment.
• Cheng Du kicked Xia Fan out of Wind Feather Laboratory and introduced himself to Shi Wu as an Authorities Enforcement Department agent and a researcher.
• Shi Wu directed Cheng Du upstairs to Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu, then sat on the rug and murmured that he missed Lanlan.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu realized that Giant Tyrant's power had been used in experiments and that their world might itself be an experiment field. Jiang Fu told Cheng Du about the Sequence Research Institute and Shi Cangming, leaving Cheng Du shaken by what he learned and why Shi Cangming had kept the truth from the Authorities.

• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discussed the Giant Black Python's crown and concluded that Giant Tyrant had likely been brought to the world as a test subject for experiments on restoring shattered sequences.
• Jiang Fu's thought about multiplying Ou Zongyang's house by ten triggered an explosion that destroyed the mansion, and Ou Zongyang angrily demanded to know who had attacked Tianhuang Martial Arts University.
• Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu concluded that experiments involving Giant Tyrant's power and the world's spiritual revival, mutations, and invading beings suggested that the world was an experiment field.
• Jiang Fu suggested that Lingyue Pavilion's forbidden drug might have been part of a similar experiment, startling Cheng Du with the revelation.
• Jiang Fu told Cheng Du how the Sequence Research Institute had been infiltrated and how the Power of Foolish Insight and Shi Cangming were involved.
• Cheng Du realized Shi Cangming had concealed the truth because he did not trust the Authorities.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu discussed how the Sequence Research Institute’s influence had exposed the Evil Ghost Squad and planned to reclaim the Institute from Otherworld creatures. They left planning a major disruption at the next day’s research assessment, while Cheng Du agreed to represent them at Bincheng Ninth Middle School’s graduation ceremony.

• Shi Jiu blamed the Xia Country Authorities for letting the Evil Ghost Squad’s secret identity leak, and Cheng Du admitted the authorities had mishandled it.
• Jiang Fu reconsidered destroying the Sequence Research Institute after learning that Otherworld creatures had infiltrated it, and proposed creating a pirate sequence to plunder their worlds.
• Jiang Fu asked Cheng Du to attend Bincheng Ninth Middle School’s graduation ceremony in his and Shi Jiu’s place, and Cheng Du agreed.
• Shi Jiu said they would stir up trouble at the next day’s research assessment, while Jiang Fu asserted that Tianhuang Martial Arts University belonged to him and Shi Jiu through their Sequence Contracts.

Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu planned to meet Old Old Man and then visit the First Nether Phoenix, while Su Yu bargained with the Order Divine Artifact for Dichen Star. After using Sequence: Crimson King to make it forget their meeting, Su Yu left with the treasure and the Order Divine Artifact departed in confusion.

• Jiang Fu gave Cheng Du Abyss Potion to deliver to the Ascetics, and Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu decided to see Old Old Man before going to the Mist Forbidden Zone.
• The Order Divine Artifact met Su Yu in the Chaotic Region and asked her to arrange a meeting with Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu so it could make them promise not to destroy the world.
• Su Yu demanded a substantial reward, and the Order Divine Artifact gave her Dichen Star, a nine-colored sphere that could travel between worlds.
• Su Yu activated Sequence: Crimson King on the Order Divine Artifact, causing it to forget their conversation, then turned invisible and left.
• The Order Divine Artifact recovered, wondered why it had come to the Chaotic Region, and left without remembering Su Yu or Dichen Star.

Su Yu brought the Dichen Star, taken from the Order Divine Artifact, to Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu at Tianhuang Martial Arts University. Meanwhile, Lu Pin jumped from the wall while chasing a breakthrough, and the Spirit Domain Laboratory faced an imminent assessment.

• Su Yu erased the Order Divine Artifact's memories with the Crimson King and kept the Dichen Star after it left peacefully.
• At Ancient Cold Pass, Lu Pin tried gasoline and cactus on Jiang Fu's advice, then jumped from the wall when neither triggered a breakthrough.
• Su Yu left for Tianhuang Martial Arts University to bring Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu the Dichen Star and explain the Order Divine Artifact.
• Su Yu remembered that the Spirit Domain Laboratory's research assessment was due the next day, while its work on the Parasite Pill had made no progress.
• Su Yu rode alongside Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu on a crimson Ghostfire Motorcycle and handed Shi Jiu the Dichen Star as they left through the university gates.

Su Yu explained her ties to the Order Divine Artifact and the lost Sequence age, while Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu focused on why she had approached them. Jiang Fu then revealed that Su Yu was a God Emperor, leaving her stunned.

• Jiang Fu appraised the Dichen Star, and Shi Jiu stored it in the Extreme Dao True Water Realm while Su Yu tried to explain herself.
• Su Yu introduced herself as the last member of the Sequence Su Family and the daughter of Su Jinghe, founder of the Sequence Research Institute.
• Su Yu described how Sequences once flourished through Abyss Fruits before the world changed and the age of Spiritual Energy Revival and Martial Arts began.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu pressed Su Yu about her real reason for telling them this, and Jiang Fu asked whether she knew the First Nether Phoenix.
• Jiang Fu identified the First Nether Phoenix as the Former Nether Phoenix and told Su Yu that she was a God Emperor, shocking her.

Jiang Fu discovered that Su Yu was a God Emperor who had erased her own memories and learned that she wanted to rebuild the Sequence Families. He drafted an Extreme Dao Indenture Contract for Su Yu and Shi Jiu to sign, leaving their alliance poised to begin under strict terms.

• Jiang Fu used Multiply-by-Ten Judgment and the Stone to discover that Su Yu was a God Emperor, shocking Su Yu and Shi Jiu.
• Jiang Fu confirmed that Su Yu had erased her memories and timeline as a God Emperor with Sequence: Crimson King, though restoring them could return her to that realm.
• Jiang Fu pressed Su Yu to explain why she had approached them, and she said she wanted to rebuild the Sequence Families through a family, martial arts halls, a university, or a pirate crew.
• Su Yu explained that she had joined Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu after they destroyed the Sikong Clan, hoping their Abyss Potion could help revive the Sequence Families.
• Jiang Fu drafted a harsh Extreme Dao Indenture Contract requiring Su Yu to swear allegiance to him and Shi Jiu, and Su Yu welcomed the contract's clear exchange of benefits.

Su Yu told Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu that rebuilding the Sequence Families required finding the Abyss Mother Tree, and Jiang Fu revealed its abyss was on Ink Abyss Island. The three hurried to the Shi Family estate after something happened to Shi Cangming, where Jiang Fu saw two shadowy figures fighting above the old man.

• Su Yu explained that each of the Four Great Sequence Families needed an Abyss Fruit Tree and that Shi Jiu could use her Ning and Cloud bloodlines to locate the Abyss Mother Tree.
• Jiang Fu revealed that the abyss was on Ink Abyss Island, then said they needed to visit the Shi Family because something had happened to Shi Cangming.
• Jiang Fu and Shi Jiu teleported into the Shi Family estate, where Shi Jiu explained that her eldest brother supported its many ordinary staff while Shi Cangming skimmed their wages.
• Shi Jiu and Jiang Fu found Shi Cangming lying unconscious in his room, and Jiang Fu saw two blurry figures fighting above him, with the one resembling Shi Cangming losing.
