• Zuo Qing told Moyu to have Guan Zai investigate what had happened at Chenglong Pass.

• Zuo Qing explained to Chen Moyu that Great Xia faced growing threats from the divine kingdoms and ordered him to summon Mr. Guan to investigate the possible disaster-grade Beast Tide.

Lin Qiye tried to recruit the captured Thunder Beast as a hospital orderly but needed to raise its fear of him. He devised a way to use Wangcai to frighten the tiny, cat-sized divine beast and left them together in its cell.

• Lin Qiye found the Thunder Beast imprisoned in the Psychiatric Hospital of the Gods and saw that he could recruit it if its fear level reached 60, though it was only 23.
• Lin Qiye struggled to think of how to make the Thunder Beast fear him and left the underground prison for the courtyard.
• Lin Qiye saw Wangcai returning from toilet-cleaning duty and came up with a plan.
• Lin Qiye brought Wangcai to the Thunder Beast's cell, suspended its department-head position, and ordered it to train the Thunder Beast.
• Lin Qiye tossed Wangcai into the cell, where it faced the bristling Thunder Beast and invited it to have fun together.

Wangcai used Dream Divergence to terrify the Thunder Beast, raising its fear of Lin Qiye’s group. As Lin Qiye and the Nightfall Squad approached Great Xia, they discovered a massive gathering of Mysteries near the border, while Chenglong Pass’s communication towers were destroyed in a suspected human attack.

• Guan Zai arrived and froze the mirror shards in midair, prompting Lu Qiu to recognize him with relief.
• The Oracle Envoy launched a concealed mirror javelin at Guan Zai, who used code to stop it and lock its position.

Guan Zai defeated the silver-robed Oracle Envoy at Chenglong Pass, but discovered that Mirror Calamity had escaped through a mirror into the Mirror World. As Guan Zai left to seek help tracking him, Lu Qiu warned that a communications failure could leave Great Xia helpless during another Beast Tide, and the chapter ended with an expert asking whether the gods would protect the country.

• Guan Zai reversed the mirrored javelin's course and doubled its kinetic energy, pinning the silver-robed Oracle Envoy in the crater.

As the group returned toward Great Xia, Baili Pangpang revealed that he had arrived in Takama-ga-hara’s Human Circle more than fifty years before the others and had been preserved by the meditation cushion. He recounted his travels across Japan and how a mysterious whisper eventually led him to the ruins where he woke in the club.

• Baili Pangpang described traveling across Japan, evading Oracle Envoys, and taking a Calamity Blade he could not draw.
• Baili Pangpang followed a persistent whisper to a palace in the ruins and later woke in the club beside Lin Qiye’s note.

As Lin Qiye wondered about Baili Pangpang’s lost memories and the secrets of the palace at the end of the River of Aurora, the group crossed the Misty Wall and returned to Great Xia. Beyond the border, Garuda summoned Chimera to lead a Beast Tide toward Chenglong Pass.

• Lin Qiye considered the mystery of Baili Pangpang’s connection to the meditation cushion and the palace at the end of the River of Aurora.

A second disaster-level Beast Tide surged from the mist toward the unfinished Chenglong Pass, whose communications were still down. Commander Lu Qiu raced toward Tujiao Pass to summon help, leaving Fang Zuo to organize the defense.

• Lu Qiu spotted countless Mysteries and a gigantic wave emerging from the mist border, then declared a Level One alert.
• Lu Qiu learned from Fang Zuo that the communications tower remained unrepaired and Chenglong Pass could hold the Beast Tide for only four minutes.

• Fang Zuo ordered everyone to the walls of Chenglong Pass.

Lin Qiye and the Nightfall Squad encountered Lu Qiu, a Night Watchman racing to warn others about the second Beast Tide. After learning Chenglong Pass was in danger, Lin Qiye prepared to head there.

• Lin Qiye spotted a fast-moving Night Watchman and steered the Somersault Cloud after him to ask for directions to Shangjing City.

• Lin Qiye confirmed Lu Qiu's role and asked him to point the way to Chenglong Pass.

As a second disaster-level Beast Tide attacked Chenglong Pass, Fang Zuo watched the pass’s defenses buckle under the relentless assault. Lu Qiu reached Tujiao Pass and delivered a warning before collapsing into the sea.

• Fang Zuo ordered Chenglong Pass to activate its firepower line, and its 78,000 heavy cannons opened fire on the Beast Tide.
• Fang Zuo realized the charging mysteries had lost their instincts, while Outer Gods watched from beyond Great Xia.

• Lu Qiu reached Tujiao Pass and shouted that the second disaster-level Beast Tide had arrived and Chenglong Pass’s communications were down.
• Lu Qiu urged Tujiao Pass to notify headquarters and rescue Chenglong Pass, then lost consciousness and fell toward the sea.

As the Beast Tide broke through Chenglong Pass, the returning Fifth Special Squad appeared and took the front line. The squad faced the advancing Mysteries, with Cao Yuan preparing to meet their charge.

• Fang Zuo and three Night Watchmen prepared to defend Chenglong Pass after its wall collapsed, but their emblems flew into the sky before they could activate them.
• A pitch-black night covered the pass, and cannons, firearms, and the four emblems rose into the air as seven masked figures arrived on a cloud.
• The seven figures descended onto the ruined barricade, and Tripitaka swept Fang Zuo and the other Night Watchmen back to safety.
• Fang Zuo recognized the newcomers as the missing Fifth Special Squad, which had departed two years earlier after earning promotion to a Special Squad.
• The Mysteries broke through the outer barrier and charged the seven, while Cao Yuan reached for his blade.
