Chapter Summaries

Wang Zhifan handed the Gold Brick Society’s vault to Kun Dog and went to meet Penglai Pharmaceuticals, where Diana lured him into a sealed office and revealed the company wanted to study his powers. After Penglai tried to incapacitate him with gas, Wang Zhifan escaped using his dream abilities and set out to punish those responsible.

• Wang Zhifan told Kun Dog to distribute some of the Gold Brick Society’s gold bricks and keep the rest for the gang’s future, then left for Penglai Pharmaceuticals.
• Diana greeted Wang Zhifan at Penglai’s branch and led him to an office on the thirty-sixth floor, where she left him alone under the pretense of fetching coffee.
• Diana spoke to Wang Zhifan through a hidden speaker and said Penglai wanted to research the strange power within him, while refusing to meet him in person.
• Wang Zhifan detected gas entering the sealed room and escaped outside the building by using Entering Dreams and Dreambreaking.
• Wang Zhifan formed a plan to find Manager Qian and Diana, trace who had targeted him, and take revenge without harming innocent people, then sent Dream Self clones toward the Penglai branch.

Wang Zhifan infiltrated Penglai Corporation and learned that the former second-in-command of his Iron Wolf Gang had urged the company to capture him for research. After destroying Penglai’s Bliss City branch with his freezing power, he received a hidden mission reward that made him a VIP Player.

• Wang Zhifan used his Dream Self clones to locate Manager Qian inside the Penglai Corporation building and abducted him for questioning.
• Manager Qian and Diana revealed that an outsider had proposed capturing Wang Zhifan for research, and Diana showed him footage identifying the man as the former second-in-command of the Iron Wolf Gang.
• Diana traced the man to a northern town, but Wang Zhifan refused her offer to apprehend him and demanded Penglai’s full plan.
• Wang Zhifan read Penglai’s research plan, rejected Diana’s appeals for cooperation, and froze her, the corporation’s branch building, two neighboring buildings, and the armed helicopters.
• Wang Zhifan prepared to use the Grimy Holy Grail against the fleeing mastermind, but a message announced that he had completed the hidden mission and become a VIP Player.

After earning the VIP Player identity, Wang Zhifan used the Grimy Holy Grail to curse the Iron Wolf Gang’s escaped former second-in-command, then returned to his villa and inspected his new rewards. He found the Biological Modification Pod had few useful procedures for him and confirmed that VIP Player appeared on his panel.

• Wang Zhifan used the Grimy Holy Grail to identify and curse the Iron Wolf Gang’s former second-in-command, turning him into a monster that security guards shot dead.
• Wang Zhifan left the frozen dungeon and returned to his bedroom in East City Villa.
• Wang Zhifan entered the Anomalous Domain, where Yilin and Yali told him the Monster Nest’s first creature would emerge in a few minutes.
• Wang Zhifan tested the Outlaw Battle Saber and placed the Biological Modification Pod in the Anomalous Domain.
• Wang Zhifan inspected the pod and found that most procedures were unavailable or unnecessary for his unusually strong body.
• Wang Zhifan checked his panel and saw VIP Player listed as his identity.

Wang Zhifan managed the monsters in his Anomalous Domain and prepared to run an instance with Chen Ming and his brother, while a night of cultivation granted him a new defensive skill. Testing the newly produced monsters left him suspecting that only intelligent beings like Yilin and Yali could generate Faith Power.

• Wang Zhifan inspected an ordinary-grade Eye Demon but sensed no Faith Power from it.
• Chen Ming asked Wang Zhifan to take his brother through an instance, and Wang Zhifan agreed to bring them along the next day.
• Wang Zhifan invited Chu Wei, but she declined because the Administration had assigned her to a team and her specialized role was needed.
• After cultivating in the Mystic Chaos Secret Abode, Wang Zhifan gained Indestructible Lv4 but received no attribute increase.
• Wang Zhifan found Yilin and Yali managing more than thirty monsters and learned their food would last six more days.
• Wang Zhifan tested the monsters and found that none produced Faith Power, leading him to suspect they lacked sufficient intelligence.

Wang Zhifan abandoned the idea of breeding monsters for Faith Power and considered gaining human believers in the Limitless Sect's world. After stocking up on supplies and meeting the Chen brothers, he led them into an instance, where the three arrived on a coastline.

• Wang Zhifan decided that breeding monsters would yield too little Faith Power and left his extra experimental monsters in Yilin and Yali's care.
• Wang Zhifan bought supplies in the real world and visited Pingwu City, where he considered turning its inhabitants into believers.
• Wang Zhifan returned to his villa, where Chen Ming and Chen Can arrived to discuss entering an instance.
• Wang Zhifan learned that Chen Can had chosen the Gunner class and bought Rare Tier equipment, then warned both brothers to prepare for combat and bloodshed.
• Wang Zhifan formed a party with Chen Ming and Chen Can and entered an instance with them; the three appeared on a coastline.

Wang Zhifan and the Chen brothers entered an ocean-themed instance and learned they had to find Forbidden Fruit Island and pick a Forbidden Fruit. After gathering little useful information in a harbor town, Wang Zhifan discovered a suspicious NPC who claimed he could lead them to the island for payment.

• Eighteen players appeared on a beach, where Wang Zhifan told Chen Ming and Chen Can to report false levels and received a VIP identity that gave him one million Golden Orchid Coins.
• The players argued about how to reach the island and whether to work together, while a scruffy man ran off to avoid clearing the instance and a woman chased after him.
• Wang Zhifan and the Chen brothers left the beach and found a diverse, classical harbor town, where Wang Zhifan confirmed they could understand the NPCs' language.
• Wang Zhifan sent Chen Ming and Chen Can to question townspeople about Forbidden Fruit Island, but most NPCs had never heard of it.
• Wang Zhifan revealed that a suspicious NPC had offered to take him to Forbidden Fruit Island for payment and was still waiting nearby.

Wang Zhifan and his companions searched the harbor town for information about Forbidden Fruit Island, learning that it was said to lie deep within the dangerous Storm Sea. They left the shipyard with a direction and a warning, but no ship or safe route.

• Wang Zhifan refused the red-skinned NPC's demand for thirty silver coins and took Chen Ming and Chen Can to a tavern to seek information instead.
• Wang Zhifan paid for food with a gold coin created by an item, and the tavern owner recalled Forbidden Fruit Island only as an old sea legend and advised them to ask at the docks.
• Wang Zhifan rejected Chen Can's suggestion to investigate before eating and told the brothers to stay together and avoid rushing into danger.
• Wang Zhifan and his companions questioned shipowners at the harbor, but none recognized Forbidden Fruit Island, and some reacted angrily to their questions.
• Wang Zhifan asked an old shipyard owner about Forbidden Fruit Island and learned that it supposedly lay in the Storm Sea, where fierce storms raged almost all year.
• Wang Zhifan gave the old man ten silver coins for directions to the Storm Sea, then left without buying a ship.

Wang Zhifan and the Chen brothers boarded a passenger ship to Princess Port while seeking a route to the Storm Sea and Forbidden Fruit Island. After Chen Ming and Chen Can suffered severe seasickness, cannon fire and urgent alarms erupted as the ship sailed into danger.

• Wang Zhifan and the Chen brothers learned that no passenger ships regularly sailed to the Storm Sea and chose to head for Princess Port.
• Wang Zhifan refused to join the other players who boarded a ship with the suspicious red-skinned NPC, then bought luxury-cabin tickets for himself and the Chen brothers.
• Chen Ming and Chen Can bought sour fruit as a seasickness remedy, but vomited through most of the first day at sea.
• Wang Zhifan noticed cannons aboard the passenger ship and suspected the route might be dangerous.
• Cannon fire and urgent horn calls sounded after Chen Ming and Chen Can went below deck to rest.

Wang Zhifan secretly froze the Big Horn Shark Pirates' cannons, but their ship closed in on the Sea Parrot and forced its captain and crew to prepare for boarding. As the pirates crossed over, Wang Zhifan charged toward them, eager to use the many enemies to max out his BUFF.

• Wang Zhifan went onto the Sea Parrot's deck as the enemy warship attacked, then secretly used Ice Source Power to freeze its cannons.
• The Sea Parrot's crew returned fire, but the enemy ship maneuvered through the cannonballs and rapidly approached.
• The enemy raised the flag of the Big Horn Shark Pirates, frightening the Sea Parrot's crew into trying to flee and throw cargo overboard.
• The Sea Parrot's captain chose to resist while allowing unwilling crew members to retreat below deck, and the pirates began boarding.
• Wang Zhifan advanced onto a boarding plank with his machete, planning to max out his BUFF against the pirates.

Wang Zhifan boarded the Big Horn Shark Pirates’ ship and slaughtered their crew with ease, but a supernatural melody halted the battle and revealed four powerful figures. He faced the newly emerged group as the Sea Parrot’s crew fell under the music’s influence.

• Wang Zhifan crossed a boarding plank as the Big Horn Shark Pirates’ muskets misfired, and the Sea Parrot’s crew opened fire on the charging pirates.
• Wang Zhifan killed two pirates on the narrow planks, then surged onto the enemy ship and cut down many more, scattering the remaining pirates.
• The Sea Parrot’s captain ordered a second volley, but a melody from below deck left the crew dazed and made their muskets fall.
• The melody restored the Big Horn Shark Pirates’ courage, and they gathered behind a recorder-playing young man, a one-eyed swordsman, an armored giant, and a captain-like man.
• Wang Zhifan stopped his rampage and focused on the four figures, recognizing the recorder’s supernatural effect but resisting it.

Wang Zhifan killed the flute-wielding pirate and fought the Big Horn Shark Pirates’ remaining fighters until their captain tried to negotiate. When Wang Zhifan demanded that the captain become his dog, the captain summoned the Big Horn Shark King, which Wang Zhifan instantly dismembered with his saber.

• Wang Zhifan used his Dream Self clones and dream abilities to kill the handsome youth wielding a black vertical flute.
• Wang Zhifan fought the pirate captain, the crescent-blade old man, and the armored giant with saber techniques, eventually forcing them to admit they could not defeat him.
• The captain offered to end the conflict and let Wang Zhifan’s ship leave, but Wang Zhifan demanded real compensation and told the captain to be his dog.
• The enraged captain summoned the Big Horn Shark King to attack Wang Zhifan.
• Wang Zhifan unleashed Dreamsplendor Chain Slash and cut the giant sea monster into countless pieces, leaving the pirates stunned.

Wang Zhifan killed the Great White Shark’s captain and negotiated with the surviving pirate leaders, offering to spare them if they helped him. He learned that the one-eyed old man had heard of Forbidden Fruit Island in the Storm Sea, and the chapter ended with the old man warning that finding it would be difficult.

• The captain panicked after Wang Zhifan killed the giant shark, and Wang Zhifan cut him down with the Dreamflower Saber Technique.
• The one-eyed old man and the Crocodile Man refused to become subordinates, so Wang Zhifan offered to spare them if they and the surviving pirates obeyed him for several months.
• Wang Zhifan learned that the old man and the Crocodile Man could manage the remaining crew, though they would need incentives and had lost their giant shark.
• Wang Zhifan asked about the Storm Sea and Forbidden Fruit Island, but the Crocodile Man had never heard of the island.
• The old man recalled rumors that a blue Forbidden Fruit on the island could grant the Sea God’s blessing, but warned Wang Zhifan that his earlier search had failed.

Wang Zhifan recruited the one-eyed old man and the Crocodile Man to help him search for Forbidden Fruit Island, while arranging to resupply and repair the Big Horn Shark Pirate Ship before sailing for the Storm Sea. He also secured the Sea Parrot captain’s cooperation and planned to place experienced sailors in key positions aboard the ship.

• Wang Zhifan offered the one-eyed old man and the Crocodile Man gold and warned them to work honestly as they helped him find Forbidden Fruit Island.
• The Crocodile Man explained that his people had thoroughly explored their territory’s seabed, while the old man said the ship needed supplies and repairs before sailing toward the Storm Sea.
• Wang Zhifan chose Princess Port for the resupply stop and ordered the old man and the Crocodile Man to disguise the pirates despite increased naval inspections.
• Wang Zhifan stopped a confrontation between the Big Horn Shark pirates and the Sea Parrot crew, then told the Sea Parrot captain that he had killed the pirate captain and destroyed the Great Horned Shark.
• The Sea Parrot captain agreed to cooperate after Wang Zhifan gave him the former pirate captain’s gold bars, and promised to arrange experienced sailors and help the ship enter Princess Port.

After defeating the pirates, Wang Zhifan brought Chen Can and Chen Ming onto their captured ship and began planning the voyage to the Storm Sea. He discovered that the ship’s Sea God Statue granted it miraculous abilities, leaving its nature and significance unexplored.

• Wang Zhifan returned to the brothers’ cabin and explained that he had defeated the pirate leader, taken their ship, and would use it to reach the Storm Sea.
• Chen Can and Chen Ming went onto the deck, where they saw the bloody aftermath of the battle, and Wang Zhifan left them to adjust while he checked the pirate ship.
• Old One-Eye warned other pirates that Wang Zhifan was too powerful to oppose, then concealed their plans to cooperate until they could escape at port.
• Wang Zhifan entered the cabins, confronted the pirates discussing escape, and ordered Old One-Eye to join him later to plan their next steps.
• Wang Zhifan found the Crocodile Man praying to a Sea God Statue and learned that the statue blessed the ship with unusual abilities.

Wang Zhifan brought the disguised Big Horn Shark Pirate Ship to Princess Port, where a strict naval inspector threatened to expose and detain it. He used his control abilities to seize the inspector and emerged with permission to enter port, leaving the inspector dead and a new identity ready to use.

• Wang Zhifan kept the pirates under control during the voyage and disguised the Big Horn Shark Pirate Ship before it reached Princess Port with the Sea Parrot.
• Two Imperial Navy inspectors boarded the ship, and the Sea Parrot's captain bribed one while explaining the ship's presence as a borrowed vessel.
• The second inspector rejected the captain's attempted bribe, declared the ship suspicious, and ordered it held for investigation.
• Wang Zhifan immobilized the strict inspector, dragged him into the captain's quarters, and returned with him to announce that the ship could enter port.
• The baffled Sea Parrot's captain was kept out of the captain's quarters, where Wang Zhifan later revealed a wooden mask and the inspector's corpse.

Wang Zhifan secured the Sea Parrot’s entry into Princess Port, set plans in motion to repair the ship and recruit a crew for the voyage to the Storm Sea, and monitored the pirates he had temporarily released. Elsewhere, a player who had been avoiding the dungeon was forced into action by a pirate raid and set out with three other players to clear it.

• Wang Zhifan used the Mad Treant Mask and gold coins to get the pirate ship admitted to Princess Port, then arranged leave and discussed the harbor plans with the Sea Parrot’s captain.
• Wang Zhifan gave the pirates three days ashore, questioned the one-eyed old man and the Crocodile Man about their plans, and sent a Dream Self clone to track them.
• Wang Zhifan asked Chen Ming and Chen Can to help recruit experienced sailors and navigators, while planning to combine recruits from several sources for the voyage to the Storm Sea.
• A pirate fleet attacked the town where the player who had been lying low was staying, forcing him to abandon his quiet life.
• The player transformed into a bird and then a Silverback Gorilla, rescued three players from the pirates, and led them toward the harbor to clear the dungeon.

Wang Zhifan oversaw repairs to the Great White Shark and began arranging a crew in Princess Port while monitoring the one-eyed old man with his Dream Self clones. When the old man fled to a church protected by mysterious power, Wang Zhifan held back, and the old man sought the Shadow Lord’s help against him.

• Chen Ming and Chen Can explored Princess Port to find a legitimate place to recruit sailors while Wang Zhifan monitored them with a Dream Self clone.
• The Sea Parrot captain brought shipwrights to inspect the Great White Shark, and Wang Zhifan arranged repairs and reinforcement before a planned departure in three days.
• Wang Zhifan discovered the one-eyed old man fleeing Princess Port and sent a Dream Self clone to attack him, but the old man escaped at great speed.
• The one-eyed old man ran into a church whose mysterious power hindered Wang Zhifan’s clone, so Wang Zhifan left a clone to watch the church rather than risk provoking its protection.
• The one-eyed old man asked the Shadow Priest to help destroy Wang Zhifan, claiming that Wang Zhifan’s shadow-controlling power blasphemed against the Shadow Lord.
• The Shadow Priest refused to act without evidence and offered the old man a blessing in exchange for sacrificing his remaining eye.

The Shadow Priest transformed the one-eyed pirate into a shadow-powered believer and sent him after Wang Zhifan, who killed him with a single attack. The next morning, Wang Zhifan disguised himself as Steven and went to the Port Authority to seek information about Forbidden Fruit Island.

• The Shadow Priest gouged out the one-eyed pirate’s remaining eye, completed a ritual that filled his eyes with shadows, and ordered him to punish those who blasphemed against his lord.
• Wang Zhifan sensed someone leaving the church, waited on an inn rooftop, and fought the transformed pirate when he appeared.
• Wang Zhifan shattered the pirate’s shadow scimitars with one strike, apparently killing him instantly.
• The Shadow Priest realized his believer had perished and suspected Wang Zhifan carried an aura resembling the Lord of the Frozen Prison.
• Wang Zhifan confirmed the pirate’s death with the Grimy Holy Grail, then asked Chen Ming and Chen Can to recruit people and investigate Forbidden Fruit Island.
• Wang Zhifan used the Mad Treant Mask to disguise himself as Steven and entered the Port Authority to access maritime records.

Wang Zhifan learned that Forbidden Fruit Island was a shifting island in the Storm Sea guarded by the Sea God's Emissary, then set sail aboard the Great White Shark with Chen Ming and Chen Can. After weeks of uneventful travel, a powerful mysterious woman confronted him at sea, demanded to know where he came from, and attacked his consciousness when he refused to answer, leaving him ready to fight back.

• Wang Zhifan bribed the Port Authority archivist and learned from Lord Robert's records that Forbidden Fruit Island moved between the sea and its depths and was guarded by the Sea God's Emissary.
• Wang Zhifan assigned Chen Ming as the ship's doctor and Chen Can as a combatant, then sailed west from Princess Port aboard the Great White Shark.
• After more than half a month of quiet sailing, Chen Ming and Chen Can spotted a woman drifting toward the ship on a plank, but Wang Zhifan warned them she was a disguised monster and told them not to interfere.
• When the woman approached the ship, Wang Zhifan faced her and learned she wanted to know where he came from; she rejected his answer of Princess Port and attacked his consciousness with a strange blue illusion.
• Wang Zhifan activated his defenses, drew the Thunder Dragon Rageblade, unleashed his Ice Source Power, and prepared to fight the mysterious woman.

Wang Zhifan fought a powerful woman in her azure domain, enduring her attacks as his Formless Skill expired and his equipment and body were badly damaged. At the brink of defeat, he broke through to a new saber technique, Dream Transformation of Myriad Realms, and pulled her into his own dream realm before recovering and charging at her.

• The mysterious woman melted Wang Zhifan’s ice attack and stopped his Dreamflower Saber Light, then blocked his close-range Thunder Dragon Rageblade strike with scaled armor.
• Wang Zhifan swallowed a Combat Pill, dodged her giant sea-blue hand with Dream Self clones and Dreambreaking, and wounded her with an enhanced slash.
• Wang Zhifan launched a relentless assault while his Formless Skill lasted, but the woman’s storms and mental attacks overwhelmed his defenses after it ended.
• Wang Zhifan kept fighting as both he and his equipment deteriorated, refusing to rely on the Undying Specter Ring to revive.
• Wang Zhifan used Dream Transformation of Myriad Realms to replace the woman’s azure domain with his pale dream realm, suppressing her and blocking her attacks.
• Wang Zhifan swallowed a Heavenly Origin Pill to recover and charged at the woman inside his domain.
