• Xiao Xie let Xiao Xiao help, and she instantly triggered the Time-Space Turbulence’s full eruption.
• Light Sovereign fled the turbulence and returned to his palace with severe injuries, believing Xiao Xie had died.

Xiao Xiao sent the unconscious Xiao Xie through the Time-Space Turbulence, and he landed in the courtyard of a tavern run by Vivian and Vivia. After accidentally exposing himself, Xiao Xie was knocked unconscious by Vivian’s magic.

• Vivian called Xiao Xie a pervert and shot a black sphere at him, knocking him unconscious when he failed to catch it.

After Vivian knocked Xiao Xie unconscious, he woke to find that his cultivation and abilities had vanished because Time-Space Power had fused with his body and soul. His soul mutation would take one to three thousand years to complete, and Xiao Xiao revealed that all his Worship Points and Godhead Points had been spent.

After waking in the Anya Tavern with his cultivation and abilities gone, Xiao Xie accepted help from Vivia and began planning how to recover his strength and learn where he was. He checked the remnants of his belongings and asked Xiao Xiao what was still stored in the Worship Space.

• Xiao Xie recycled his ruined old clothes in the Worship Space and received just over three hundred thousand Points.
• Xiao Xie summoned Xiao Xiao and asked her to tell him what stock remained in the Worship Space.

After losing his cultivation, Xiao Xie searched his stored treasures for a way to regain strength and chose two Devil Fruits to eat. He tested their combined powers, collected several useful weapons and artifacts, and was left with too few Points to afford the treasures he wanted.

• Xiao Xie selected the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Sand-Sand Fruit from his remaining treasures and spent two hundred thousand Points enhancing them into perfect Devil Fruits.

• Xiao Xie chose Black Blade Night, Spider Silk Armor, and the Spark Prism from the remaining items as useful treasures.
• Xiao Xie checked the World Shop but lacked enough Points to buy a Large Peach of Immortality, so he searched the Time Shop for low-grade magical artifacts instead.

• Xiao Xie introduced himself, explained that he had fled a powerful enemy, and accepted Vivian's offer to stay in exchange for work.
• Vivian told Xiao Xie to serve customers and wipe down dirty tables while the tavern was empty.

Xiao Xie worked at Vivian’s nearly empty tavern and accepted the chance to temper his state of mind. Vivian cooked a beautiful but disgusting meal, and Xiao Xie’s attempt to spare her feelings ended with Xiao Xiao tasting it too and Vivia laughing at them.

• Xiao Xie learned from Vivia that the tavern usually had no customers and agreed to treat his work as training.

After joining the Mercenary Guild, Xiao Xie explored the Sunset Mountain Range and found a large ice wolf pack in Ice Wolf Valley. He concealed his aura and began sneaking toward a lone wolf at the edge of the pack.

• Xiao Xie used the Sand-Sand Fruit and Tremor-Tremor Fruit abilities to silently kill ninety-three ice wolves before the Ice Wolf King organized the remaining pack to search the valley.
