Chapter Summaries

Lin Qiye discovered that the Land of Chaos and Disorder let him use his Forbidden Ruin without drawing the mysterious gaze, so he summoned the Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods to hunt the hidden intruder. Meanwhile, Wei Dong followed an alarm to a small raccoon in an orderly uniform and prepared to attack.

• Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki explored the floating ruins and learned that the place was called the Land of Chaos and Disorder, which had existed before the gods created the world.
• Lin Qiye spread Absolute Darkness Erosion across the street and confirmed that the mysterious gaze could not reach him there.
• Lin Qiye summoned dozens of Magic Arrays and said he would use the Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods to find the person hiding in the ruins.
• Wei Dong, a member of the Shang Xie Association, recalled identifying Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki as likely Magatsu Blade wielders and waited for one of his alarms to be triggered.
• After Alarm Number 16 activated, Wei Dong hurried to the location, assembled a sniper rifle, and spotted a small raccoon wearing an orderly uniform.

Wei Dong shot at Taomaru, a Lucky Raccoon orderly from Lin Qiye’s Catering Department, and then fled as the summoned orderlies closed in. Lin Qiye told Amamiya Haruki that Wei Dong would soon be brought to them, while an unseen child watched Wei Dong from a web above his hiding place.

• Wei Dong mistook Taomaru for a harmless low-level Mysterious, then shot at it as it bent to pick up a marble.
• Taomaru narrowly dodged the bullet and fled, revealing that it was Orderly No. 277 of A Zhu’s Catering Department.
• Wei Dong relocated after the shot, unaware that nearly forty Catering Department orderlies were converging on him.
• Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki heard the gunshot, and Lin Qiye said Wei Dong would soon be escorted to them.
• Wei Dong’s alarms detected approaching entities, and he hid from three orderlies who searched the ruins without finding him.
• An invisible web covered Wei Dong’s hiding place, where a child watched him from above.

Wei Dong’s attempt to escape A Zhu’s ambush failed when dozens of Catering Department orderlies surrounded and captured him. Meanwhile, Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki investigated the ruins and found clues that the sunken city might connect Japan to another place, though its exact location remained unknown.

• A Zhu tried to pull Wei Dong’s soul away with Spider Silk, but Wei Dong broke free and shot at him with his Pixel Gun.
• A Zhu called for help to protect the sovereign, and a crowd of Catering Department orderlies arrived to surround Wei Dong.
• Wei Dong used Pixel Fire to hold A Zhu back and escaped through a wall, but more orderlies blocked the exits and trapped him.
• A Zhu ordered the orderlies to beat Wei Dong, put a sack over him, and take him to the director.
• Lin Qiye found a Japanese police department sign and identified the ruins as the remains of Wakkanai City, which had apparently sunk during Genesis of the Gods.
• Lin Qiye wondered whether the independent space containing the city was a connection point between Japan and the Mist.

Lin Qiye captured Wei Dong and discovered that the pixel watch he carried marked a distant location beneath the pale-blue glow. After Wei Dong tried to attack him and refused to answer questions, Lin Qiye ordered Amamiya Haruki to kill him as they headed toward the marked site.

• A Zhu and the Catering Department orderlies brought Lin Qiye the unconscious Wei Dong and returned after handing over his weapons.
• Lin Qiye tested Wei Dong's pixel-styled handgun and recognized it as a possible forbidden item.
• Lin Qiye found a watch whose map showed a pulsing blue dot, then decided to follow it with Amamiya Haruki while dragging Wei Dong in a sack.
• Wei Dong woke and tried to stab Lin Qiye with a spike hidden in a ring, but Lin Qiye dodged, fractured his wrist, and took the weapon.
• Lin Qiye questioned Wei Dong about the blue dot, but Wei Dong avoided answering and asked whether Lin Qiye was a Magatsu Blade master.
• Lin Qiye ordered Amamiya Haruki to kill Wei Dong, and Amamiya Haruki drew Rain Collapse.

Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki took the bound Wei Dong to the coordinates he claimed led to treasure and found a mysterious Torii Wall where the Aurora River poured into the ruins. Wei Dong vanished after passing through a torii, and Lin Qiye and Amamiya Haruki followed him inside.

• Wei Dong claimed the coordinates led to a treasure site, and Lin Qiye decided to bring him along despite suspecting a trap.
• Lin Qiye tied Wei Dong's wrists and had him lead the way while he and Amamiya Haruki followed.
• The group reached a wall of vermilion torii that blocked the floating debris and stood before the Aurora River's flow into the ruins.
• Lin Qiye recognized the location as connected to the Warrior Princess's prophecy and agreed to enter with Amamiya Haruki.
• Wei Dong disappeared upon stepping through a torii, so Lin Qiye entered next and Amamiya Haruki followed.

Lin Qiye fought off Wei Dong’s ambush after passing through a torii, leaving the three men in a tense standoff as the ground began to shake. Three minutes earlier, Jialan, Wu Xiangnan, and the Knight had crossed a gap in the deep-sea mirror and arrived at an abandoned shrine.

• Wei Dong ambushed Lin Qiye as he emerged from a torii, but Lin Qiye dodged and struck him with a powerful kick.
• Amamiya Haruki appeared, and Lin Qiye confronted Wei Dong about his identity while holding the Pixel Gun.
• The ground began to tremble as Lin Qiye, Amamiya Haruki, and Wei Dong faced one another in the shrine.
• Jialan, Wu Xiangnan, and the Knight found a gap in the deep-sea mirror and followed the positioning device toward it.
• Jialan led the group through the gap, and they emerged through a vermilion gate onto a bluestone road beneath a pale blue aurora.
• Wu Xiangnan identified the gate as a torii, and the Knight said the Shang Xie Association specialized in destroying shrines and temples.

The Knight, Wu Xiangnan, and Jialan searched for Paratrooper and realized they were still inside the vast gap of Japan’s human circle. They reached a shrine filled with living, petrified Japanese Mysteries, leaving them uncertain about the place’s true nature.

• The Knight found Paratrooper’s signal transmitter attached to a torii gate, but the group found no sign of Paratrooper or a struggle.
• Jialan sensed several powerful Mysteries as the group followed the bluestone road through a darkening, chilling passage.
• The Knight concluded that they were still inside the gap and that Japan’s human circle might be larger than Egypt’s Sphinx human circle.
• Jialan hurried to the end of the road and found extensive shrine ruins filled with strange stone statues.
• Wu Xiangnan identified the statues as Japanese demons, and Jialan revealed that they were living Mysteries trapped in stone.

Wu Xiangnan and the knight discovered a silver sphere called an “origin” in the Demon Shrine, but Jialan stopped them from absorbing it and warned that it would kill them. After the knight’s water touched the sphere, silver light flowed through the ruins and the stone statues began to tremble.

• Wu Xiangnan inferred that the stone statues were rushing toward something, and he, Jialan, and the knight followed their movements to a shrine containing a silver sphere.
• Wu Xiangnan and the knight were overcome by a desire to seize the sphere, but Jialan grabbed their wrists and warned them not to touch it.
• The knight broke free and sent water toward the sphere, so Jialan pierced his palm with Sky Palace and kicked him away before the silver light could reach him.
• Jialan explained that the sphere was an “origin” that could elevate life and enable godhood, but that it was incompatible with Wu Xiangnan and the knight and would kill them within three months.
• Wu Xiangnan noticed silver-lit water flowing into the ruins, and the stone statues began trembling as the earth rumbled.

Lin Qiye, Amamiya Haruki, and Wei Dong found themselves trapped in an endless maze of rooms, where stone statues began to awaken and attack. Lin Qiye stopped the Black-Haired Female Ghost’s first assault, then launched a flaming sword at her as dozens of other statues broke through the walls.

• Lin Qiye searched the endless rooms with his Mental Power but found no exit, and Wei Dong said he did not know where they were.
• A Black-Haired Female Ghost attacked Amamiya Haruki from a crack in the wall, and Lin Qiye cut apart her hair with two straight swords.
• Lin Qiye realized the stone statues embedded in the walls were coming alive as dozens more broke through around them.
• The Black-Haired Female Ghost crawled out and attacked again, but Lin Qiye suppressed her with the power of the Seraph and hurled a flaming sword at her head.

Lin Qiye, Amamiya Haruki, and Wei Dong fought through the revived statues and other Mysteries while fleeing the corridor. Lin Qiye and Wei Dong discovered they were both Great Xia natives, and Wei Dong joined the fight with his Pixel Gun as the statues pursued them.

• Lin Qiye killed the Black-Haired Female Ghost, then led Amamiya Haruki and Wei Dong away from the revived stone statues.
• Lin Qiye trapped a hidden figure with Eternal Secret Garden and fought off a blue cat demon as the group pushed through the enemies.
• Wei Dong spoke Chinese and asked whether Lin Qiye was from Great Xia, and Lin Qiye realized Wei Dong was a fellow native.
• Wei Dong revealed that he belonged to the Shang Xie Association, and Lin Qiye gave him the Pixel Gun after the pursuing statues interrupted their conversation.
• Wei Dong fired Pixel bullets at the Mysteries chasing them.

Lin Qiye, Amamiya Haruki, and Wei Dong searched for a way out of the shrine, where Japanese Mysteries were hunting them. Lin Qiye decided the Jorōgumo Statue might hold the key to escaping, and the group fought their way back toward it.

• Lin Qiye recalled the prophecy about the Jorōgumo Statue and concluded that it might reveal an exit from the shrine.
• Lin Qiye found that the statue lay behind them, so he and Amamiya Haruki and Wei Dong turned to break through the pursuing demons.
• Lin Qiye summoned Mumu, whose missiles destroyed many of the demons and whose fortress form shielded the group from the blast.
• Wei Dong shot apart a phantom’s green lantern, and Amamiya Haruki severed the phantom’s head.
• Lin Qiye summoned figures in dark green uniforms to intercept more demons charging through the flames.

Lin Qiye, Wei Dong, and Amamiya Haruki confronted Jorōgumo to retrieve a 50 Yen Coin hidden inside the wall beneath her former statue. Lin Qiye recovered the coin and used Summoning Magic to take up Rain Collapse, leaving him charging through Jorōgumo’s Spider Silk with Amamiya Haruki’s sword technique.

• Lin Qiye sensed that Jorōgumo did not carry the key and concluded that a 50 Yen Coin hidden inside the wall might be what the prophecy meant.
• Lin Qiye asked Wei Dong and Amamiya Haruki to hold Jorōgumo off while he retrieved the coin through the wall.
• Wei Dong used his Pixel Grenade to destroy much of Jorōgumo’s Spider Silk, while Lin Qiye blinked toward the wall.
• Amamiya Haruki unleashed Water Dragon Sky Curtain with Rain Collapse to shield himself and Wei Dong, but an unknown force snatched the sword away.
• Lin Qiye smashed through the wall, seized the 50 Yen Coin, and used Summoning Magic to summon Rain Collapse into his hand.
• Lin Qiye drew Rain Collapse and unleashed Water Dragon Sky Curtain, piercing the Spider Silk and carving a path through the mist.

Lin Qiye used the Magatsu Blades and a lucky coin toss to escape with Amamiya Haruki and Wei Dong, while Jialan, the knight, and Wu Xiangnan fought the revived demons at the black temple. After landing safely on a cloud, Lin Qiye introduced himself to Wei Dong, who revealed his identity as a member of the Shang Xie Association.

• Lin Qiye used Rain Collapse and Black Rope to fend off Spider Silk, then tossed a 50 Yen Coin and teleported himself, Amamiya Haruki, and Wei Dong away when it landed chrysanthemum-side up.
• Jialan, the knight, and Wu Xiangnan faced a horde of revived demons targeting the silver sphere and chose to fight rather than flee.
• Jialan charged into the demons with Sky Palace, but her spear suddenly flew away, so she continued fighting with her fists.
• Lin Qiye caught the falling Amamiya Haruki and Wei Dong on a cloud above the ruins.
• Lin Qiye introduced himself as captain of the Nightfall Squad, Special Squad 005, and Wei Dong identified himself as a member of the Shang Xie Association.

Lin Qiye, Wei Dong, and Amamiya Haruki followed the Aurora River toward the source of the Magatsu Blades’ powerlessness while Wei Dong explained the truth about the Human Circle. Amamiya Haruki agreed that it should be destroyed but struggled with the fate of its fifty million innocent inhabitants, and the trio reached an ancient palace at the river’s end.

• Lin Qiye’s 50 Yen Coin flew away along the Aurora River, and he concluded that forbidden items could not be used there either.
• Lin Qiye, Wei Dong, and Amamiya Haruki followed the river toward its source, while Amamiya Haruki wondered whether the prophesied Supreme Being awaited them there.
• Wei Dong explained the Human Circle and the Shang Xie Association’s objective, helping Lin Qiye understand the truth behind the nation, the Oracle Envoys, the Pure Land, and Divine Authority.
• Amamiya Haruki said he supported destroying the Human Circle and would help, but insisted its people were innocent; Wei Dong warned that relocating its more than fifty million residents was impossible.
• Lin Qiye guided the Somersault Cloud to an ancient palace at the end of the Aurora River, and the three landed on the cloud before its shut gates.

Lin Qiye opened the palace at the end of the Aurora River and found Baili Pangpang unconscious on a cushion, surrounded by forbidden artifacts. After Lin Qiye pulled him free, Amamiya Haruki discovered a purple longsword among the scattered artifacts.

• Lin Qiye opened the palace doors after suspecting Baili Pangpang might be inside.
• Lin Qiye found Baili Pangpang seated unconscious beneath a Pigsy Mask and surrounded by forbidden artifacts.
• The forbidden artifacts attacked Lin Qiye as he rushed to Baili Pangpang, but Lin Qiye reached him with Night Flicker and pulled him from the cushion.
• Baili Pangpang's expression relaxed after Lin Qiye laid him on the floor, though he remained unconscious.
• Amamiya Haruki searched the scattered artifacts, found a purple longsword, and picked it up.

Lin Qiye rescued Baili Pangpang and found the calamity blade Duo E, but the arrival of Jialan’s spear revealed that she was somewhere in the ruins and likely in danger. Suspecting the meditation cushion could amplify his abilities and help him locate her, Lin Qiye sat on it to test his theory.

• Amamiya Haruki gave Lin Qiye Duo E and warned him that drawing it caused disasters and its wounds brought misfortune.
• Lin Qiye collected Baili Pangpang’s forbidden items and wondered whether the prophecy’s Supreme Being referred to Baili Pangpang.
• Sky Palace flew into the palace, and Lin Qiye recognized it as Jialan’s spear and feared she was in danger.
• Lin Qiye reasoned that Baili Pangpang’s Disarm All Things had been amplified by the meditation cushion and decided it might extend his Mental Power.
• Lin Qiye asked Amamiya Haruki to pull him off the cushion if he did not get up within two minutes, then sat down on it.

Lin Qiye used the meditation cushion to locate Jialan, Wu Xiangnan, and the Sixth Special Envoy, but its amplification trapped his body and kept Mortal Divine Domain running until Amamiya Haruki pulled him free. After arranging to reunite with Wei Dong at the ruins’ entrance, Lin Qiye flew off to rescue his teammates.

• Lin Qiye amplified his Mental Power with the meditation cushion and discovered Jialan, Wu Xiangnan, and a blond knight fighting awakened stone statues near a black temple.
• Lin Qiye realized the cushion had taken control of his body and Forbidden Zone, and Amamiya Haruki pulled him off it after two minutes.
• Lin Qiye told Wei Dong he had found the Sixth Special Envoy and asked him to take Baili Pangpang to the entrance.
• Amamiya Haruki lent Lin Qiye Rain Collapse, and Lin Qiye rode the Somersault Cloud toward the battle wearing the Monkey King Mask.
• The Sixth Special Envoy fought through the demons around the temple with his longsword and powerful close-combat skills.

Jialan fought demons without Sky Palace and was trapped in ice by a Yuki-onna. Lin Qiye arrived in the rain and freed her, leaving Jialan joyfully greeting him.

• Jialan killed several demons barehanded but was caught by the Yuki-onna’s freezing attacks.
• Wu Xiangnan tried to reach Jialan, but demons blocked his path as the ice sealed her inside.
• Rain poured over the battlefield, and Lin Qiye appeared atop the black temple wearing a Monkey King mask.
• Lin Qiye used the rain to cut through Jialan’s ice prison, and Jialan shattered the remaining ice.
• Jialan tidied her hair and robes, then smiled at Lin Qiye and asked, “You’re here?”

Lin Qiye arrived at the black temple and used the Magatsu Blades to cut down a large number of demons, rescuing Jialan from the danger of being frozen. After absorbing the energy from the demon corpses, he turned his attention to the Yuki-onna and prepared to fight her.

• Jialan reunited with Lin Qiye, and he promised to take care of the demons.
• Lin Qiye drew Duo E, causing demons to slip and crash into the black temple before he narrowly avoided falling himself.
• Lin Qiye used Duo E to split the earth and Black Rope to kill demons, while the knight and Wu Xiangnan held off the others.
• Lin Qiye absorbed energy from the demon corpses with the Eternal Secret Garden, then drew Rain Collapse and Black Rope as darkness spread around him.

Lin Qiye and Jialan fought the Yuki-onna together after her blizzard restrained his Rain Collapse. Their combined attacks weakened her and disrupted her attempts to escape, leaving her struck by Lin Qiye’s Star Splitter.

• Lin Qiye attacked the Yuki-onna with Black Rope, but she dodged the blade phantom and reappeared hundreds of meters away.
• The Yuki-onna froze Lin Qiye’s rain dragon and began trapping him in ice, until Jialan charged in to fight beside him.
• Lin Qiye returned Jialan’s Sky Palace spear and warned her to stay behind him as they advanced on the Yuki-onna together.
• Jialan’s spear and Lin Qiye’s blades drove the Yuki-onna back while his Eternal Secret Garden weakened her and Duo E’s wounds intensified her curse.
• Lin Qiye used Black Rope to defend against ice blades, then struck the Yuki-onna with Star Splitter after the curse interrupted her escape.
