• Number Five emerged from her Stone Slab as a short-haired girl less than 1.4 meters tall.

• Zhou Zhengde reported that D2 was searching Snow Mountain Base for the drug and that Ye Zi had gathered Wild Wanderers and sent groups of teenagers to D3 and D4; Wang ordered the investigation to continue and the threatened fortresses to be warned.
• Wang gave Dongfang Zhenghong and Zhou Zhengde pills, then watched a transport aircraft depart D2 for D5 with an old Half-Human Mech aboard.

• Wang Jixuan took a pill to improve his aptitude and prepared to activate a cultivation array the next day.
• Number Five asked Wang Jixuan whether he could reconcile with Psionic Capital and warned that the Six Elders still wanted him dead.

• Zhou Zhengde delivered a video in which Fu Jian questioned Xiang Lin Tian about why D2 wanted Xing Tian’s prescription.

• Fu Jian told Xiang Lin Tian that Wang Jixuan had refused to hand over the prescription, then offered him a cigar containing a Crane Origin Pill and revealed that his granddaughter was safe with Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan learned that D2’s leaders had enabled Xing Tian’s influence and reflected on humanity’s crisis before finding calm while listening to Gao Huating sing. Meanwhile, Fu Jian brought Xiang Lin Tian to Fortress No. 76 to inspect its defenses and meet Wang Jixuan, as a camp near Rainbow Town prepared to move boxes leaking demonic energy.

• Zhou Zhengde explained that Fu Jian had used Wang Jixuan’s views to draw Xiang Lin Tian toward D5 and persuade him to reform D2.
• Wang Jixuan completed his aptitude improvement, then went to Gao Huating’s studio, where her singing steadied him and prompted him to examine her connection to psionic energy.
• Xiang Lin Tian arrived at Fortress No. 76 with Fu Jian, inspected the Demon-Breaking Dagger production line, and saw his granddaughter Xiang Tiantian near the Spiritual Practitioner stone slab.
• Fu Jian urged Xiang Lin Tian to help lead D2’s reform, and Xiang Lin Tian decided to meet Wang Jixuan before making his choice.
• Near Rainbow Town, soldiers emerged from an underground elevator carrying Alloy Boxes that leaked demonic energy as a giant Drill Machine was assembled.

Xiang Lin Tian weighed whether D2 should abandon its long-standing alliance with the Psionic Capital, while Wang Jixuan offered to treat the Xing Tian Faction’s drug-dependent leaders. Just as Xiang Lin Tian arranged to bring several people to D5, he discovered that the newly distributed medicine was dangerous.

• Xiang Lin Tian told Wang Jixuan that changing D2’s course could trigger civil war, and Wang offered to protect and treat up to seven people.
• After receiving a message that D2 had obtained a two-and-a-half-year supply of medicine, Xiang Lin Tian hesitated and asked to learn about Spiritual Practitioners, spiritual slaves, Psionicists, and Blade Beasts.
• Wang Jixuan refined antidote pills while Peony, Xiang Tiantian, and Zhou Zhengde explained the Spiritual Cultivation Civilization to Xiang Lin Tian.
• D2 military aircraft distributed the medicine to senior generals, who eagerly received injections.
• Xiang Lin Tian suddenly demanded an aviation pass so he could send several planes to D5, warning that something was wrong with the medicine.

• Wang Jixuan activated the Azure Duckweed Spirit Support Array for Wu Man, Zheng Shiduo, Shen Qionglin, and Gao Huating while Peony gathered battle footage.
• Meng Jin watched footage showing the S-Class Material absorb human souls and agreed to retrieve its power in exchange for six A-Class Materials.
• Meng Jin privately decided to study the Black Energy before Elder Tai learned about his subordinate’s connection to it, then ordered his team to assemble near the D2 border.
• Galinno found that Sophie was in the D2 war zone, had left his stone slab, and could be killed by shattering his Core Circuit.

While Wang Jixuan investigated Gao Huating’s strange resonance, a soul-summoning ritual awakened a mysterious power within her, and the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner recognized her as a key. After Wang Jixuan learned that Snow Mountain Base had likely been destroyed and Blade Beasts were converging there, Peony reported an urgent message from Meng Jin.

• Peony tracked Psionic Capital’s movements and discovered that the Blade Beast Swarm had become active around D2 and was heading toward Snow Mountain Base.
• Wang Jixuan used a soul-summoning ritual on Gao Huating, drawing hundreds of faint soul imprints back into her body.
• Gao Huating transformed briefly, revealing a golden halo and a powerful presence before collapsing into Shen Qionglin’s arms.
• The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner called Gao Huating a key and said she could be used as leverage in negotiations with the Six Elders.
• Peony told Wang Jixuan that Snow Mountain Base likely had no survivors and that two King-Class Blade Beasts were heading there; Wang Jixuan and Shen Qionglin suspected they sought a weakened Spiritual Practitioner or the source of the demonic energy.
• Peony announced that Meng Jin had sent an urgent message.

Wang Jixuan rejected Meng Jin’s attempt to obtain a method for purifying demonic energy, then weighed whether to intervene at Snow Mountain Base as Blade Beast Swarms approached. After learning that the Fourth Spiritual Practitioner’s spire had activated and the Twelve Pillars Blade Beasts might awaken, Wang Jixuan decided to go after the demonic energy, and the Fifth Spiritual Practitioner prepared to join him.

• Wang Jixuan accused Meng Jin of trying to trick him into revealing how to purify demonic energy and ended their communication.
• Wang Jixuan studied the worsening situation at Snow Mountain Base and agreed to send the Buddha Hall Squad and Peak Maid Group to protect nearby fortresses.
• The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner told Shen Qionglin that the Fourth Spiritual Practitioner’s spire had activated and that the Twelve Pillars Blade Beasts could awaken if a Core Circuit was erased.
• Wang Jixuan decided to travel to Snow Mountain Base to seize the opportunity in the demonic energy and ordered Peony to prepare fast aircraft.
• The Fifth Spiritual Practitioner opened a spatial crack, retrieved her Stone Slab Wall, and said she would go with Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan led a joint force to a D2 fortress near Snow Mountain Base, where he broke through to the Core Formation Realm as the war preparations unfolded. Number Five sensed that Old Sophie had teleported beneath the base and awakened aggressive spirit slaves, just as two King-Class Blade Beasts approached through a Stargate-like phenomenon.

• Wang Jixuan briefed the Buddha Hall Squad, the Peak Maid Group, and the Half-Human Mechs on their mission to aid D2, locate Old Sophie, and weaken the Blade Beasts and Psionic Capital factions.
• Deep Sea led the arriving Half-Human Mechs to Yellow Sun Plateau Fortress 022, where D2's military cooperated and handed him command of the defenses.
• Wang Jixuan broke through to the Core Formation Realm aboard the transport plane, then joined Deep Sea and the others at the temporary Command Center.
• Peony reported that two King-Class Blade Beasts and tens of thousands of High-Tier Blade Beasts would reach Snow Mountain Base soon, while D2 lacked enough Drilling Missiles and demonic energy had fallen by thirty percent.
• Number Five sensed that Old Sophie had teleported beneath Snow Mountain Base, awakened aggressive spirit slaves with demonic energy, and was preparing to fight the approaching Blade Beasts amid Stargate-like fluctuations.

Wang Jixuan waited as Old Sophie’s spirit slaves and the Blade Beasts fought underground, then prepared to seize the Pseudo Starry Sky Gate when Meng Jin’s group moved in. As a great demon began to emerge and Old Sophie’s power spiraled out of control, Wang Jixuan split his forces between delaying the demon and securing the gate.

• Wang Jixuan taught Wu Man, Ji Xiao, and the Buddha Hall Squad Buddhist scriptures to resist demonic energy and made Buddhist artifacts for the Half-Human Mechs.
• Old Sophie’s spirit slaves ambushed the King-Class Blade Beasts, but a Pseudo Starry Sky Gate opened and sent more Blade Beasts into the battle.
• A nameless S-Class Material harvested Blade Beast Remnant Souls, supplying demonic energy that restored Old Sophie while worsening his injuries and driving the underground battle into a war of attrition.
• Shen Qionglin’s hidden mark from Old Sophie activated, and Number Five synchronized his phantom with his main body, revealing his maddened hunger for souls and power.
• Meng Jin’s group entered Rainbow Town’s Underground Passage with a glowing man whose light repelled demonic energy, while black clouds formed over the snow mountain.
• Wang Jixuan ordered Wu Man’s group and Professor Shen to delay the demon, sent Ling Tong and Deep Sea to seize air superiority, and led the others with Number Five toward the Pseudo Starry Sky Gate.

Wang Jixuan’s allies lured a demonized person out of the underground war zone while his battle puppet used a nuclear bomb to destroy the Pseudo Stargate. With the gate dismantled and Old Sophie’s demonic energy source cut off, Wang Jixuan turned the puppet toward Meng Jin and the others.

• Number Five offered to smash open the ground, but Wang Jixuan hid their auras and waited for Old Sophie’s forces to wear down the Blade Beasts.
• Ji Yale and Zheng Shiduo provoked the demonized person into rising from underground, and Wu Man’s Buddha Hall Squad trapped and attacked him with a sword array.
• After Peony reported that the demonized person had been lured out and the demonic energy source cut off, Wang Jixuan sent his battle puppet underground with a portable nuclear bomb.
• The blast collapsed the underground cavity and forced the Pseudo Stargate out of subspace, after which the battle puppet destroyed the gate and collected valuable fragments.
• The battle puppet looked toward the passage where Meng Jin and the others were advancing through the demonic energy.

Wang Jixuan escaped the underground Blade Beast nest with valuable gains, then rushed to aid the Buddha Hall Squad as the Sixth Pillar’s forces awakened. After Number Five disabled Old Sophie’s demonized spirit slave and Wu Man’s squad defeated him, Wang Jixuan and the allied forces prepared to seal the demons at Snow Mountain.

• Wang Jixuan killed a wounded Sub-King Class Blade Beast, took its crystal core, and escaped while misleading the remaining Blade Beasts.
• Peony carried Wang Jixuan, his battle puppet, and Number Five toward Old Sophie’s battlefield as a Main Force Blade Beast Swarm from the Sixth Pillar awakened.
• Fu Jian learned of the Sixth Pillar’s rising awakening index and coordinated with the D2 Comprehensive War Zone to support the assault on Snow Mountain Base.
• Number Five shut down the demonized spirit slave’s circuit, allowing Wu Man, Ji Yale, and the Buddha Hall Squad to defeat him and send his spirit onward.
• Wang Jixuan’s battle puppet attacked the spirit slaves while allied forces deployed Drilling Missiles, and the group boarded a transport plane bound for Snow Mountain to seal the demons.

Ling Tong and Wang Jixuan prepared for the spread of the Black Energy while Meng Jin’s group hid underground and learned that the Fourth Spiritual Practitioner’s Core Circuit was now their objective. Wang Jixuan’s battle puppet entered the earth to search for the circuit and discovered Meng Jin’s group near the spire, accompanied by an SS-Class Advanced Spirit Slave.

• Ling Tong ordered her teams to keep their distance from the Black Energy and reported that Meng Jin’s group had disappeared from psionic detection.
• Wang Jixuan asked Peony to compare the people around Meng Jin with his earlier attackers, then learned that three had unfamiliar psionic signals.
• Meng Jin sheltered his group underground, and Elder Feng told them that Lord Number Two had ordered them to secure the Fourth Spiritual Practitioner’s Core Circuit before the Blade Beasts destroyed it.
• Meng Jin insisted they withdraw if the mission became too dangerous, while Elder Feng led the group toward a concealed area near the Fourth’s spire.
• Wang Jixuan sent his battle puppet into the earth while his allies guarded the entrance, and Number Five detected Meng Jin’s group near Old Sophie’s spire with an SS-Class Advanced Spirit Slave.

Wang Jixuan discovered that Old Sophie was turning into a blood demon and used a nuclear blast to draw Meng Jin’s group into a trap near the spire. Meng Jin and Elder Feng survived the explosion, while Wang Jixuan sent Number Five to seize the Core Circuit and prepared to fight.

• Wang Jixuan and Number Five approached Old Sophie’s spire, where he found dozens of powerful Spirit Slaves and Old Sophie being corrupted by blood energy and resentful souls.
• Wang Jixuan decided Old Sophie could become a dangerous blood demon, so he planned to use a portable Tactical Nuclear Bomb and arranged for D5 forces to draw Meng Jin’s group out.
• Meng Jin and Elder Feng watched the spire as Spirit Slaves fought Blade Beasts, then heard chanting as D5 forces began attacking the black energy with Drilling Missiles.
• Old Sophie erupted from the spire in a rage, and Meng Jin led his team toward the Stone Coffin after a nuclear blast weakened the area’s defenses.
• Elder Feng pulled Meng Jin and five subordinates away from Wang Jixuan’s second nuclear blast, while Wang Jixuan sent Number Five to seize the Core Circuit and summoned the surrounding demonic energy.
