Chapter Summaries

Wenren Sheng left Wei Yiqing with Wu Shanshan, who tried to persuade her to join forces against the Immortals and learned that Wei Yiqing’s daily breakfasts raised Wenren Sheng’s Mystery Resistance. Later, mysterious fog surrounded their plane at high altitude, but it dispersed as soon as Wenren Sheng took the pilot’s seat, leaving Kevin to recall a similar incident that had brought him to Divine Land.

• Wenren Sheng took the pilot’s seat after Zou Yan persuaded Kevin to transfer control, and the fog immediately dispersed.
• Kevin recalled that a similar mysterious incident during an earlier flight had led him to come to Divine Land.

Wenren Sheng and his group reached the Great Ocean Graveyard, a fog-covered sea route filled with wrecks and naval-war scenes that served as a land of fear. He explained how the wrecks could be used for training and prepared everyone to descend into the area.

• Wenren Sheng and Zou Yan learned that Kevin's airline had not purchased aviation disaster insurance, explaining why Kevin had sought greater safety.
• Wenren Sheng, Wei Yiqing, and Wu Shanshan transferred from their plane to the cruise ship Paradise Island, where Wei Yiqing accused Wenren Sheng of lying about their journey.

• Wenren Sheng explained that boarding different wrecks brought visitors into naval battles from different periods, where they could train while facing terrifying scenes of war.
• Wenren Sheng told the group to lower the boats and prepare to enter the Great Ocean Graveyard.

Wenren Sheng's group set out through the Great Ocean Graveyard's waterway after rejecting an offer to fund a search for the Fountain of Youth. The chapter ended with Wenren Sheng receiving an event prompt warning that the legend's truth would be absurd and sorrowful.

• Wenren Sheng sent his group toward Paradise Island in two lifeboats as a passenger liner arrived nearby.
• A speedboat approached, and Bernie the Old Man tried to sell Wenren Sheng shares in a search for the Fountain of Youth.
• Wenren Sheng refused Bernie the Old Man's offer after noticing greed in the visitors' reactions to the mention of Otherworldly Users.
• People aboard the liner condemned Otherworldly Users, upsetting Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen, while Wenren De reassured them.
• Wenren Sheng's group entered the graveyard's waterway, and he received an event prompt about the Fountain of Youth's truth.

Wenren Sheng watched Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen enter an illusion aboard a wrecked sailing warship, then saw an American group follow them aboard a Pirate Ship. Both vessels headed into the fog, where the Americans were mistaken for pirates and faced execution by hanging.

• Wenren Sheng sent Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen aboard a capsized sailing warship, which righted itself and sailed into the fog with Wu Liansong following them.
• Wenren Sheng discussed turning the Great Ocean Graveyard into an adventure park with Wu Shanshan while sounds of battle came from the illusion.
• Allen Ralph, George, and several others boarded a motorboat and mocked Wenren Sheng's group before choosing a Pirate Ship.
• Wenren Sheng blocked the motorboat's spray with fog, while Wenren De grew angry at the Americans' taunts.
• The Pirate Ship entered the fog in the same direction as the sailing warship, and the Americans aboard it were accused of being pirates who had stolen Fountain of Youth Water.

Wenren Sheng refused to rescue the people trapped in the fog because they had mocked his group, and he stopped their companions from pressuring the lifeboats. As the group listened to the cruise ship’s passengers fear their powers, Wenren Sheng explained that internal divisions drove them to provoke outsiders.

• A group from the cruise ship asked Wenren Sheng and the others to save Ralph and his companions, but Wenren Sheng refused because they had shown his group no kindness.
• Wenren Sheng used mist to isolate the lifeboats when the passengers tried to persuade Ouyang Ling and Wu Shanshan, then the speedboat retreated while its occupants cursed them.
• Li Shuangyue compared the passengers to a spiteful village gossip, and Wu Shanshan concluded they wanted to provoke the group into helping them.
• Wenren Sheng had everyone listen to the passengers admit they feared the group’s powers, then said they should not give in to people trying to manipulate them.
• Wenren De asked why Americans picked fights despite their internal divisions, and Wenren Sheng answered that they used outsiders to redirect attention and stir emotions.
• Wenren Sheng claimed his extensive thinking gave him unusual insight, while Wu Shanshan doubted him and joked that he should watch out for baldness.

Wenren Sheng and the others returned from the fog with a Petrification Potion after completing the Fountain of Youth event, while Wang Wenwen struggled to accept that the pirates she had fought were real people. The people aboard the cruise ship saw their prize and began plotting to take it by force.

• Wenren Sheng inspected Zhao Han's Petrification Potion, and the event completion prompt awarded him 65 Mystery Points and raised his upper limit.
• Wang Wenwen told the group that the expedition fleet had paid her with a bottle of the Fountain of Youth after the pirates were defeated and hanged.
• Wu Shanshan revealed that the pirates had been real, and Wang Wenwen panicked until Wenren Sheng used the Great Teaching Skill to calm her.
• Wu Liansong and Wenren Sheng reassured Wang Wenwen that the pirates had earned their fate, while Wenren Sheng reflected on how peaceful times had softened new Otherworldly Users.
• People aboard the cruise ship saw the three return with a valuable item and decided to use a scoped rifle to force them to hand it over.

Wenren Sheng and his companions boarded the ghostly ironclad Zhenxi Ship, which sailed into the fog and called them to battle. As the ship prepared to fight the Sea Monarch, Wenren Sheng gained nineteenth-century naval repair knowledge and took charge of damage control.

• Wenren Sheng called the island base for a fast frigate after Americans on a cruise ship tried to organize a robbery.
• Wenren Sheng and his companions boarded the Zhenxi Ship, a late-nineteenth-century Divine Land ironclad Wang Wenwen recognized from the Persian Gulf naval battle.

• Wenren Sheng received repair and maintenance knowledge through his Seed of Mystery as the ship renewed itself and its crew took their stations.
• Wang Wenwen became a gunnery officer, Zhao Han helped load shells, and Wenren Sheng led a damage control team while his parents served as assistant staff officers.

Wenren Sheng witnessed Divine Land’s fleet battle the European Allied Forces and learned mysterious skills by observing Otherworldly Users in action. As the Zhenxi Ship came under heavy attack, he mastered Beginner Water Control Art after a Water Worker diverted a torpedo.

• Wenren Sheng observed the fleets engage and saw a Divine Land Otherworldly User cripple the Sea Monarch with a Sure Hit Sniping technique.
• Wenren Sheng learned Beginner Mystic Sniping after witnessing the opening strike.
• The enemy focused its fire on the Zhenxi Ship, and destroyers moved in to attack it with torpedoes while its escorts returned fire.
• A Water Worker redirected an unavoidable torpedo with a huge wave, and Wenren Sheng learned Beginner Water Control Art.

Wenren Sheng used the Resonance Method to restore exhausted Otherworldly Users and amplify their skills, helping the Zhenxi Ship sink an enemy battleship with Sure Hit. The ship then withdrew to maximum range, and its crew used Sure Dodge to evade an incoming barrage.

• Wenren Sheng linked his Alien Power with an exhausted Old Man and Water Worker, speeding their recovery and learning that the Old Man was the ship's sole Master Level sniper.
• The Water Worker revealed that he knew Expert Level Sniping, so Wenren Sheng gathered four such Otherworldly Users and raised their skills enough to give the Zhenxi Ship's Main Cannons Sure Hit.
• The Zhenxi Ship fired all four Main Cannons at the Royal Princess, hitting its ammunition compartment and splitting the battleship in two.
• The Captain ordered the Zhenxi Ship to withdraw and fight at maximum range after staff warned that the enemy would likely concentrate its skills against them.
• Wenren De prophesied that nine large-caliber shells would hit the ship, but several Otherworldly Users used Mysterious Evasion Art, Sure Dodge, to cloak it in thick fog.

Wenren Sheng’s Mysterious Evasion Art helped the Zhenxi Ship survive the European fleet’s barrage, and Divine Land won the Persian Gulf Naval Battle scenario. He received a Diamond Special Class Medal, while revealing that he had known from the start the enemy fleet was doomed.

• Nine shells struck near or hit the Zhenxi Ship, but its crew contained the damage while Wenren Sheng realized he had grasped Mysterious Evasion Art.
• Wenren Sheng restored the exhausted Otherworldly Users, who discussed the war and Divine Land’s strategic position.

• Wenren Sheng and the others received medals, and Wenren Sheng’s Diamond medal permanently granted several Master Level abilities.
• Wenren Sheng explained that he had expected victory because Doom Aura had already afflicted the enemy fleet.

After returning from the Great Ocean Graveyard, Wenren Sheng realized Zhao Han’s new sniping skill might use causality to break the Americans’ “Schrödinger’s Cat” concealment. As Inspector Liu agreed to help test the theory, Wenren Sheng received a Darkness Brain prompt saying he qualified to witness the main act of the drama.

• The group returned to shore, rested at a hotel, and discussed what they had learned during the expedition.
• Zhao Han revealed that she had gained Elementary Sniping Skill and could predict exactly where a fired shell would land.
• Wenren Sheng reasoned that sniping elevated to causality could guarantee a hit and break the Americans’ “Schrödinger’s Cat” concealment.
• Wang Wenwen and Zhao Han discussed the Fountain of Youth Water, while Zhao Han guessed that Wenren Sheng had withheld it because it was dangerous.
• Wenren Sheng told Inspector Liu his theory, and Inspector Liu agreed to arrange an experiment.
• The Darkness Brain prompted Wenren Sheng that he finally qualified to witness the main act of the drama.

Wenren Sheng suspected the Great Ocean Graveyard was a mysterious training ground controlled by a hidden intelligence, then prepared to explore it again as foreign warships arrived. He and Wu Liansong chose an early twentieth-century aircraft carrier scenario, leaving the others aboard their ships as real competitors approached.

• Wenren Sheng told Wu Shanshan that the graveyard might be conscious and warned her not to mistake their earlier easy victory for safety.
• Wu Shanshan explained that the graveyard felt like an enormous creature's stomach, and Wenren Sheng teased her before leaving.
• Wenren Sheng, Wu Shanshan, and the others returned to the graveyard aboard the cruise ship, accompanied by a frigate that had been informed of their expedition.
• The group found foreign destroyers near the sea route, and Wu Liansong ordered everyone except Wenren Sheng and himself to stay aboard.
• Wenren Sheng chose an early twentieth-century aircraft carrier scenario tied to the South America Mara Great Sea Battle, and he and Wu Liansong discussed why the South American nations had fought despite their likely defeat.

Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong explored a ruined aircraft carrier in the fog-shrouded ship graveyard while Chamian and Albert followed them. Chamian failed to board when the Ghost Ship struck him, and the two Americans headed toward another warship.

• Chamian warned Albert that Wenren Sheng might already have Master Level strength, then the two followed Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong toward the ship graveyard.
• Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong boarded a ruined aircraft carrier and considered whether the graveyard was seeking power from the wrecks.
• Chamian tried to leap onto the carrier but struck an invisible barrier and fell into the sea.
• Albert accused Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong of sabotaging Chamian and drew a pistol, but Chamian stopped him and explained that the Ghost Ship had knocked him down.
• Chamian apologized and steered the speedboat toward another nearby warship.

Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong joined the South American side of the 1931 Mara naval conflict, while Black Albert and white Chamian prepared to lead a battleship assault on Mara Port. The battleships approached the apparently unprepared aircraft carriers, but white Chamian grew uneasy that events were going too smoothly.

• Wenren Sheng told Wu Liansong not to expect reason from the White Headed Eagles and warned that their South American allies were poor teammates.
• Wenren Sheng inferred that he and Wu Liansong had been assigned as Divine Land military advisors, and he considered using ruthless measures to change the South Americans’ defensive tactics.
• Black Albert and white Chamian discussed why the South American fleet had lost the historical Mara Great Sea Battle and dismissed its ability to act on advice from Divine Land.
• The battleship fleet split, with five battleships advancing toward Mara Port and three remaining as a reserve force.
• Black Albert and white Chamian saw three aircraft carriers docked without apparent patrols or preparations, and they believed they could repeat history.
• White Chamian felt uneasy as the battleships approached the seemingly unprepared port.

Wenren Sheng rallied the South American soldiers and persuaded the fleet commander to ambush the American ships at Mara Port with carrier-based aircraft. After the first wave suffered devastating losses, Wenren Sheng insisted on launching a second wave, leaving the captain to order another attack.

• Wenren Sheng’s speech about the Liga People’s refusal to let others share their wealth ignited the South American soldiers’ hatred of America.
• The fleet commander accepted the Divine Land advisers’ plan to lure the enemy toward Mara Port, where three disguised merchant ships posed as Aircraft Carriers.
• The Americans took the bait and began shelling the fake carriers, so the Aircraft Carrier launched its first wave of planes toward the port.
• An operations officer reported that powerful anti-aircraft fire had already shot down 150 of the first 200 aircraft.
• Wenren Sheng urged the captain to keep attacking, and the captain ordered the second wave of carrier-based aircraft to launch.

Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong saw that South American Pilots and Otherworldly Users could not defeat the American fleet, while the Americans planned to lure them into a close fight. Wenren Sheng decided they would have to rely on themselves, though he still had a way forward.

• Black Albert and White Chamian watched South American aircraft attack and concluded that the battle would likely end in a draw.
• Wenren Sheng received a note offering to help defeat the American fleet in exchange for sixty million dollars.
• The aircraft carrier Captain reported that the Pilots had performed poorly, and Wenren Sheng learned that few South American Otherworldly Users would join the fight.
• Wu Liansong rejected the offer as a scam designed to keep the fleet from withdrawing, and Wenren Sheng agreed that they could no longer rely on the South Americans.
• Wenren Sheng told Wu Liansong that they would have to rely on themselves and that he still had a way.

Wenren Sheng persuaded the carrier commander to continue fighting, then used the Puppet Technique to prepare five willing pilots for a final attack. As the pilots launched, the American fast fleet came under a high-altitude bombing raid, and a cruiser exploded.

• Wenren Sheng used the Teaching Skill and Illusion Art to convince the captain to abandon the retreat and keep fighting.
• Wenren Sheng gathered five determined pilots and took them to a secret compartment to use the Puppet Technique, while Wu Liansong warned him to keep it secret.
• The five pilots joined the final group of carrier-based aircraft and set out to attack the pursuing American fleet.
• Albert and Chamian’s fast fleet formed an anti-aircraft formation as the incoming aircraft dropped bombs from high altitude.
• A bomb struck a cruiser’s ammunition magazine, causing the ship to explode.

After precise bombing crippled the American fleet, Chamian and Albert joined the Otherworldly Users aboard a Heavy Cruiser, where white supremacists seized them. Chamian betrayed Albert to save himself and realized that losing the battle could mean death for outsiders caught in the scenario.

• Five planes precisely bombed cruisers, forcing the fleet to slow down as Chamian and Albert feared repeated attacks.
• Chamian and Albert went to a Heavy Cruiser, where more than a dozen white Otherworldly Users discussed withdrawing from the battle.
• Albert argued against surrendering, but a young white man kicked him and the group subdued him and Chamian.
• Chamian recognized the gathering as part of the historical “Cleansing Campaign” and pleaded for a chance to correct his mistake.
• Chamian denounced Albert as a disposable bodyguard while the old white man ordered Albert to be fired from a cannon.
• Chamian watched Albert being carried away, then promised to follow the old white man's orders to preserve his own life.

Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong returned from a naval battle scenario in the fog-shrouded graveyard, having gained strength but witnessed another death. The group returned to the cruise ship and agreed to avoid the dangerous graveyard until they found better safety measures.

• The reconnaissance plane reported that the enemy was retreating, and the command room celebrated the victory; Wu Liansong recognized that Otherworldly Users had made it possible.
• Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong discussed how the scenario had improved their abilities as the aircraft carrier and its crew faded back into a derelict ship.
• Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong returned to the others, while Chamian came back alone; Wu Shanshan suspected that groups boarding separate ships triggered combat and likely deaths.
• Zhao Han feared that repeated exposure to death was eroding her regard for life, while Chamian silently acknowledged Wenren Sheng and Wu Liansong's strength as their groups passed one another.
• Wenren Sheng told everyone to stay out of the graveyard until he found better safety measures, and Wu Liansong noted that its scenarios demanded a broad range of abilities.
• Wenren De guessed that the graveyard needed to recover its power, leaving the group to wonder where that power came from.

After Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen struggled with the psychological aftermath of killing in self-defense, Wu Shanshan helped them recover, and the group prepared to leave the Great Ocean Graveyard the next day. At the harbor beach, Wenren Sheng met a couple drawn to his treasure, and a new event prompt appeared, hinting that their greed would lead them toward the graveyard’s danger.

• Zhao Han and Wang Wenwen vomited and confessed that they felt guilty about killing people, so Wu Shanshan scolded them into accepting that they had acted in self-defense.
• Wenren Sheng told Wu Shanshan that the Otherworldly Species had helped the girls overcome their fear, and he planned to return the next day and come back when the timing was right.
• Wenren Sheng examined the Diamond First-Class Medal and considered its five Master Level skills powerful but costly to use.
• A swimsuit-clad woman questioned Wenren Sheng about the Great Ocean Graveyard and his medal, then urged her boyfriend Mu Chengen to obtain a similar treasure for her.
• Wenren Sheng realized the woman intended to send Mu Chengen into danger, and the prompt for “Simps Must Die” appeared in his mind.
