• Yang Genshuo and Tian Zhe destroyed the holographic equipment and fled with Demon Eye on Little Rock, while the TW Organization ordered its people to pursue them and target Tian.
• Tian Zhe and Lin Bai admitted they had missed the hidden spies, and Yang Genshuo concluded that the raid had exposed their abilities without locating TW’s headquarters.
• Lin Bai said he had memorized the Jasons’ appearances and voices, recognized one from online videos, and suggested that finding him could connect TW to the Lolita Island Incident.

Yang Zhu and her siblings entered the new Legendary Land called Living Granary, where Yang Genshuo saved them from three Hungry Bailiffs by granting Yang Zhu a powerful talent and advising them to pay Spirit Stones. After learning they must complete the land’s legend to escape, the group realized they had forgotten its story and faced a grave risk.

• Three Hungry Bailiffs attacked Yang Zhu, and Yang Genshuo granted her Yang Fujian’s Split Rebirth talent so she could survive being gutted.
• Yang Genshuo identified the attackers as Legendary Souls and told Yang Zhu and her siblings to bribe them with Spirit Stones, which persuaded the Hungry Bailiffs to spare them and demand that they deliver grain to the Capital City within three months.

• The Yellow Register's radiance spread beyond the entrance, freezing people who could not escape and pulling hundreds of Yang Family members into the White Granary with a wave of mist.
• Yang Qiangjing and Yang Qiangwei survived outside, while Yang Genshuo realized that most of the gathered Yang Family had vanished and asked whether he could see those trapped inside.

Yang Genshuo and Yang Qiangjing struggled to coordinate the thirty puzzle-solvers after the Yellow Register scattered them across White Granary, while Yang Qiangjin, Yang Min, and others entered the Legendary Land to protect their family. The separated teams began accepting grain-delivery assignments and gathering clues, leaving Number Eleven with directions toward Kyoto.

• Yang Qiangjing realized the thirty puzzle-solvers had been scattered among hundreds of people, and Yang Genshuo could locate only twenty-two of them.
• Yang Genshuo learned that Yang Qiangjin had entered White Granary to save Li Minsi and that Yang Min had entered to protect his family; Yang Fu approved Yang Min’s choice and agreed to care for Yang Zhuxing.
• Yang Genshuo divided his limited attention among key groups and counted 680 missing people, including 182 beyond his field of vision.
