Chapter Summaries

Yin Xiaoyu was trapped in a classroom packed with ghosts until the exorcist Lilith and her master, A Feng, drove them away. A Feng revealed that Aunt Zhang had sent him to help Xiaoyu with her Spirit Absorption Physique, then asked to stay at her house for a few days.

• Yin Xiaoyu stayed behind after school because ghosts blocked both classroom doors, while her friend A Li unknowingly passed through one of them.
• More than a hundred ghosts crowded into the classroom, trapping Xiaoyu as she tried to hide her fear and keep reading.

• A Feng told Xiaoyu that Aunt Zhang, the grilled-sausage vendor, had died nearly a week earlier and had asked him to help because Xiaoyu had the Spirit Absorption Physique.
• Xiaoyu asked A Feng for help with the ghosts, and he agreed but said he first needed to stay at her house for a few days.

Luo Jun used Yin Xiaoyu’s ghost-attracting presence to harvest spirits in Naihe City and restore his depleted Vital Energy. After he subdued a huge crowd of ghosts outside her home, Lilith sensed something approaching Yin Xiaoyu’s room.

• Yin Xiaoyu brought Luo Jun home, where he captured several ghosts hiding in her bedroom and absorbed their energy into the Essence Gathering Cauldron.
• Luo Jun explained that he had chosen [Paranormal] as a Sweet Dew production site because ghosts were easy for him to subdue and refine.
• Luo Jun and Lilith realized that Yin Xiaoyu was attracting ghosts, which had gathered around her home and Fifth High School.
• Luo Jun leaped into the residential complex courtyard and used Mental Intimidation to immobilize the ghosts, then refined them into Sweet Dew.
• Lilith sensed movement outside Yin Xiaoyu’s bedroom, turned off the light, and concealed herself and Yin Xiaoyu with an illusion.

Luo Jun followed the Windbreaker Man to the Supernatural Response Division’s hidden headquarters, then used A Fei and an Imposter Mask to impersonate him. He entered the underground facility without triggering its alarm, leaving him inside the division’s headquarters.

• Lilith confirmed that Yin Xiaoyu’s parents were asleep, while Luo Jun followed the Windbreaker Man to Naihe City’s Psychological Rehabilitation Center.
• Luo Jun slipped into the hospital elevator, but the alarm exposed his presence and activated an Anti-Invisibility Field that forced him outside.
• Luo Jun spotted the Lonely Female Student and arranged for her to attack the Windbreaker Man, then knocked him unconscious and copied his appearance with the Imposter Mask.
• A Fei possessed the Windbreaker Man and revealed that he was He Zihua, a captain in the Supernatural Response Division, while Luo Jun learned how to use his Work ID.
• Luo Jun returned to the hospital, used the Work ID to enter the elevator without setting off the alarm, and descended to the Supernatural Response Division headquarters.

Disguised as He Zihua, Luo Jun questioned A Zhe about Yin Xiaoyu’s origins and persuaded him to help him enter the Captain’s Office. There, Luo Jun used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to locate a clue tied to Yin Xiaoyu, and the strand of hair landed on a file about the Devouring Origin Ghost case.

• Luo Jun avoided revealing his identity to He Zihua’s aides and went to the Dispatch Department to question A Zhe.
• Luo Jun convinced A Zhe to explain that Yin Xiaoyu’s spiritual sensitivity began in high school and that rumors linked her to the Captain and a powerful ghost from Santu City.
• Luo Jun persuaded A Zhe to help him sneak into the Captain’s Office while the Dispatch Department monitored the security systems.
• Luo Jun searched the office and used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to locate a clue related to Yin Xiaoyu.
• The strand of hair landed on the file titled The Whole Story of Devouring Origin Ghost Case, and Luo Jun noted the unusually high stakes indicated by the dice’s experience reward.

Luo Jun uncovered that Yin Xiaoyu might be connected to the sealed Essence Devouring Ghost and discovered that A Fei had been its first victim, Han Guofei. After helping Yin Xiaoyu escape the Supernatural Response Division, he planned to take her to Santu City, but stayed overnight in an abandoned factory as powerful Vengeful Ghosts gathered around her.

• Luo Jun read the Essence Devouring Ghost case file and learned it had possessed the Santu City division captain before a daoist priest defeated and sealed it.
• Luo Jun found records identifying the first victim as Han Guofei and her younger brother as Han Guoli, linking A Fei to the ghost's first appearance and the dead Huangquan City captain to the incident's survivor.
• A Fei became unstable after Luo Jun showed her the records, so he suppressed her and left the office after photographing the case file.
• Luo Jun arranged for Lilith to take Yin Xiaoyu from the base, and they left He Zihua unconscious after staging a brief fight to conceal their escape.
• At the abandoned Spring Leather Shoe Factory, Luo Jun helped four ghosts realize their deaths had resulted from a chain of accidents, then collected their remaining energy as they faded.
• Luo Jun convinced Yin Xiaoyu to travel with him to Santu City, and powerful Vengeful Ghosts began gathering at the factory because of her ability to attract them.

Luo Jun rescued Yin Xiaoyu from Supernatural Response Division members who had abducted her, then faced a powerful Vengeful Ghost pursuing them. He sent his guardians to lure and hold it back while he prepared to confront it himself.

• Luo Jun summoned his guardians and renewed their contracts before ordering them to protect Yin Xiaoyu while he fought the ghosts and monsters gathering at the factory.
• Luo Jun refined thousands of ghosts and monsters through the night, replenishing his Vital Energy as new arrivals continued to be drawn to Yin Xiaoyu.
• A Space Gate appeared beneath the sleeping Yin Xiaoyu and transported her away, so Luo Jun used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to track her and pursued the kidnappers through successive gates.
• Luo Jun caught Xiao Liang, Xiao Chen, and A Quan, incapacitated Xiao Liang and Xiao Chen, and rescued Yin Xiaoyu.
• A powerful Vengeful Ghost approached, and Luo Jun ordered A Fei and Aishiliya to lure it to the southern suburbs while Ailongtan, Lilith, and Gabriel held it back.

Luo Jun and his summoned creatures defeated a Peak Vengeful Ghost, and Lilith explained how souls in [Paranormal] could sustain themselves as ghosts. Their discussion led Luo Jun to question where the world’s ghosts gained their energy, and he suspected that [Paranormal] might have a living deity.

• Luo Jun carefully circulated Ling Yao’s cultivation technique to reduce his Vital Energy, then found Ailongtan, Lilith, Gabriel, and A Fei restraining the Vengeful Ghost.
• Luo Jun entered the ghost’s body, refined its Ghost Qi with the Essence Gathering Cauldron, and weakened it until the others could suppress it.
• Luo Jun absorbed the defeated Vengeful Ghost’s Sweet Dew and gained enough Vital Energy to bring his reserves to around forty percent.
• Lilith explained that spirits required great energy to maintain their forms and that compatible bodies could let ghost monsters unleash more power.
• Gabriel and Lilith revealed that their memories of their creator had been erased, prompting Luo Jun to reflect on the gods who established the worlds’ laws.
• Luo Jun reasoned that [Paranormal] seemed to grant the dead Vital Energy from nowhere and wondered whether a living deity was sustaining the world’s ghosts.

Luo Jun took his group toward Santu City in the Cozy Home RV, while Chu Yue gathered the Supernatural Response Division Captains to discuss the approaching team and their abducted experimental subject. The conference ended with Chu Yue preparing to present her next plan.

• Luo Jun decided that hiding Yin Xiaoyu was impossible, summoned the Cozy Home RV, and set off with his group for Santu City.
• Chu Yue briefed more than a dozen Captains on Yin Xiaoyu's route and the team's past clashes with the Division.
• Wei Mingyuan and other Captains argued over whether to negotiate with the powerful team or fight them.
• Chu Yue presented profiles of Lilith, Ailongtan, Gabriel, Aishiliya, and Luo Jun, emphasizing Luo Jun's overwhelming Mental Shock.
• The Captains speculated that Luo Jun relied on a dangerous drug to boost his Mental Power, but worried they could not stop him in battle.
• Chu Yue changed the projection to a map and began introducing her next plan.

Chu Yue revealed that Death Valley held the Nine Hells and proposed using its purple mist to ambush Luo Jun’s group when they arrived. Meanwhile, Luo Jun continued absorbing Sweet Dew and wondered whether his cultivation had any limit before taking out a Grocery Store Admission Ticket.

• Chu Yue predicted that Luo Jun’s group would reach Death Valley and told the Captains she planned to ambush them there.
• Chu Yue revealed that she had survived an expedition into Death Valley, where her team found purple-black fog and a stele identifying Nine Hells as suppressed there.
• Chu Yue explained that Yin Xiaoyu’s awakening was linked to Nine Hells and that she could draw the mist out to suppress the enemy’s abilities.
• Chu Yue offered the Captains five Promotion Points for the confidential mission and said the array would be ready for drills before Luo Jun’s group arrived.
• Luo Jun laid thousands of souls to rest at an ancient battlefield, drank Sweet Dew, and dissolved most of its Vital Energy through cultivation.
• Luo Jun questioned whether his cultivation technique had an endpoint, then took out a Grocery Store Admission Ticket.

Luo Jun used the Ten Thousand Realms Grocery Store’s Bargaining Balance, Exquisite Wrapping Paper, and Universal Discount Coupons to acquire several treasures at steep discounts, reaching level sixty-four. After leaving the store, he fused two chess-type treasures and prepared to try combining the result with his Progenitor Bone Card.

• Luo Jun collected his ordered treasures from the boss lady and used Eileen's underwear as part of the payment on the Bargaining Balance.
• Luo Jun discovered that Exquisite Wrapping Paper greatly increased the underwear’s value and used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to get fifty-percent discounts on Holy Domain Chess and the Fusion Evolution Component.
• Luo Jun used his final Universal Discount Coupon to get fifty percent off an Escort Spirit Talisman, gained nine hundred experience points, and reached level sixty-four.
• Luo Jun completed the purchase, took two Entrance Tickets, and asked the boss lady to find more treasures, wrapping paper, and discount coupons, but she refused to sell the latter items.
• Luo Jun returned to Cozy Home and fused Holy Domain Chess, Elemental Trap Chess, and the Fusion Evolution Component into a new chess Treasure Tool.
• Luo Jun placed the new chess Treasure Tool beside the Progenitor Bone Card and prepared to fuse them.

Luo Jun fused the Progenitor Bone Card and the chess Treasure Tool into the Mythic Treasure Item Creation of Heaven and Earth, gaining new cards, permanent summons, and a powerful game world. He summoned its five permanent pieces and met Sima Cheng, whose abilities surprised him with both meteor magic and transformation.

• Luo Jun used the Mythical Combination Module inside the Hundred Treasure Box to fuse the Progenitor Bone Card and the chess Treasure Tool into Creation of Heaven and Earth.
• Luo Jun inspected the Mythic Treasure Item's cards, summon tiers, permanent chess pieces, and Cave Heaven function, noting its enormous Vital Energy cost.
• Luo Jun spent fifty thousand breaths to summon the five permanent pieces, including the familiar Ailongtan, Aishiliya, Gabriel, and Lilith.
• Ailongtan and Aishiliya explained that the fusion had remade Ailongtan, while Luo Jun asked the new Military Strategist to introduce himself.
• The Military Strategist identified himself as Sima Cheng and demonstrated his military knowledge and newly acquired meteor magic.
• Ailongtan summoned a Mechanical Giant, which transformed into a sports car and astonished Luo Jun.

Luo Jun considered whether to add Sima Cheng to his Dominator's Eye servants, but kept A Fei in Yin Xiaoyu's body instead. Meanwhile, the Supernatural Response Division's ambush was exposed when Luo Jun's group used an illusion as a decoy, and the captains raced to locate their true vehicles before they reached the Nine Hells.

• Luo Jun realized Sima Cheng could summon vehicles and turrets, but had no Dominator's Eye slots available because A Fei still occupied one while possessing Yin Xiaoyu.
• Luo Jun noticed A Fei becoming more cheerful as she caught and released a butterfly on the way toward Santu City.
• Wei Mingyuan and Liang Guang received Chu Yue's warning that Luo Jun's group was approaching Death Valley and moved toward the revised ambush location.
• Luo Jun's vehicle drove through the forest in the drone footage, revealing that the apparent target was an illusion and prompting Wei Mingyuan to warn that the plan had been exposed.
• Captain Xie sacrificed his eyes temporarily to release hundreds of Vengeful Ghosts for reconnaissance and located the real vehicles, which were moving through terrain beyond the formations' coverage.
• Chu Yue sent the captains to intercept the vehicles, while a small bird followed the drone evacuating Captain Xie.

Chu Yue’s ambush drove Gabriel into the Nine Hells Purple Mist, where the captains captured him and tried to read his memories. Gabriel vanished after apparently turning Dragon Granny’s technique against her, and Chu Yue learned that the Essence Devouring Ghost had escaped.

• Chu Yue led the captains into an ambush, but a beam and cannonball badly damaged Liang Guang’s Flesh Puppet before two vehicles transformed into robots and attacked.
• The captains disabled the sports car robot and held off the off-road vehicle robot while Chu Yue discovered that Aishiliya had taken over the temporary command center and that Gabriel was approaching.
• Chu Yue retreated with the captains into the prepared array, activated the Nine Hells Purple Mist, and watched it overwhelm Gabriel’s holy power.
• The captains subdued Gabriel in the mist and Dragon Granny began reading his memories, but she convulsed as Gabriel seized her and then vanished after saying he had discovered the truth about Yin Xiaoyu.
• The captains found Dragon Granny unconscious with damaged brain nerves and evidence that her memories had been read, then Chu Yue learned that the Essence Devouring Ghost had escaped.

Luo Jun’s group stole the Essence Devouring Ghost from the Santu City base and had A Fei swallow it, with Luo Jun using his Mental Power to help her withstand its resistance. The chapter revealed that the ghost was an artificially cultivated ability that had gained sentience, originally belonging to Han Guofei.

• Chu Yue realized that someone had opened the underground prison and released the Essence Devouring Ghost, while the Santu City base descended into chaos.
• Luo Jun prepared to have A Fei absorb the Essence Devouring Ghost and used the Creation Chessboard to draw the Black Tortoise Spirit Armor barrier.
• Lilith restrained the weakened ghost, and A Fei swallowed it while Luo Jun sent his Mental Power to help her overcome its resistance.
• Luo Jun recalled that Yin Xiaoyu had been drawn toward Death Valley, so he split the group, sent Aishiliya, Sima Cheng, and Gabriel to the valley, and led the others to infiltrate the Santu City base.
• Luo Jun learned through Gabriel’s invasion of Dragon Granny’s mind that the Essence Devouring Ghost was a sentient ability created through cultivation, and that Han Guofei had originally possessed it.

Luo Jun helped Han Guofei devour the Essence Devouring Ghost, restoring her memories and ability while freeing Yin Xiaoyu from the ghost embryo. After sending Yin Xiaoyu home, Luo Jun's group avoided the reinforcements and reached Death Valley, where he quietly infiltrated to pursue his objective.

• Luo Jun pieced together how Han Guofei's ability became the Essence Devouring Ghost and how the Supernatural Response Division implanted an embryo in Yin Xiaoyu.
• Luo Jun used his Mental Power and the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to erase the Essence Devouring Ghost's self-awareness, allowing A Fei to devour it completely.
• Luo Jun gained a level, drew Luck Level +1, and allocated additional Attribute Points.
• Han Guofei recovered her memories and gained control of her ability to seize others' abilities, while Yin Xiaoyu returned to being an ordinary girl.
• Luo Jun had Han Guofei use the Teleportation Staff to send Yin Xiaoyu home, then ordered Aishiliya to track Chu Yue's group as his party traveled toward Death Valley.
• Luo Jun's group evaded the Special Agents around Death Valley, and Luo Jun infiltrated the valley to reach the Red-Clothed Vicious Ghosts.

Luo Jun cleared the purple mist in Death Valley and uncovered the remains of Nine Hells, whose power he began refining with the Essence Gathering Cauldron. As he struck the remains, the First Generation Celestial Master's spirit tablet cracked at Liangyi Mountain, prompting Wu Shi to rush to report the omen.

• Luo Jun hunted Red-Clothed Vicious Ghosts, dissipated their Vital Energy, and then entered the purple mist to refine its power into Sweet Dew.
• Luo Jun dispersed the purple mist and found a huge, nonhuman skeleton with a broken wooden sword embedded in its chest.
• Luo Jun identified the skeleton as Nine Hells' condensed Vital Energy and surrounded it with defensive barriers before striking it with the Essence Gathering Cauldron.
• A disciple discovered a crack in the First Generation Celestial Master's spirit tablet at Liangyi Mountain and ran to tell Wu Shi.
• Wu Shi recognized the cracked tablet as a grave omen and hurried to report it to his Master.

A crack in the First Generation Celestial Master's ancestral tablet warned Liangyi Mountain that Nine Hells had stirred, and Zhang Daozhi attacked Luo Jun while he refined the monster's remains. Midnight intervened to fight Zhang Daozhi, giving Luo Jun a chance to retrieve the remains, but Zhang's lightning struck them just as Luo Jun was about to succeed.

• Wu Shi told Cai Yongzhi that the First Generation Celestial Master's ancestral tablet had cracked, and Cai Yongzhi rushed to alert the Old Celestial Master.
• Zhang Daozhi sensed Nine Hells's disturbance, flew to Death Valley, and eliminated Aishiliya, Ailongtan, Lilith, and Sima Cheng before attacking Luo Jun's defenses.
• Midnight appeared to protect Luo Jun and fought Zhang Daozhi after he demanded that Luo Jun stop refining the remains.
• Luo Jun abandoned refining and carefully dug the Nine Hells remains out of the ground while Midnight and Zhang Daozhi battled above him.
• Zhang Daozhi's Thunder Golden Light struck the Nine Hells remains just as Luo Jun was about to put them in his Smart Equipment Pack.

After Nine Hells possessed Luo Jun, it dragged him into a comforting illusion of his childhood, where he gradually remembered his lost family and the real world. Luo Jun rejected the illusion and leaped to rescue the woman pursued by Nine Hells, triggering a mission to defeat it.

• Zhang Daozhi destroyed Nine Hells' remains and pursued Luo Jun and Midnight with overwhelming lightning, but Nine Hells awakened and chased Luo Jun instead.
• Nine Hells passed through Midnight and entered Luo Jun's body, flooding his mind with chaotic information; Midnight followed him inside.
• Luo Jun awoke as a child in a false home with his parents and grandfather, then heard knocking at the window and saw a woman being chased by a man with a knife.
• When his family dismissed the danger, Luo Jun recognized that they were illusions and remembered they had died long ago.
• Luo Jun smashed through the window to save the woman as the illusion became a supernatural battlefield, and the system triggered a mission to defeat Nine Hells.

Luo Jun awakened in his Sea of Consciousness and learned from Midnight that he could reshape the dreamscape through belief. He subdued Nine Hells, erased its remnant soul, and completed the mission, but the system required him to draw his unclaimed Attribute Points before using dice again.

• Luo Jun accepted the mission as Midnight helped him evade Nine Hells and explained that the battle was taking place in his Sea of Consciousness.
• Luo Jun realized that his beliefs could create abilities in the dreamscape and blocked Nine Hells with a surge of Gang Qi.
• Midnight attacked Nine Hells with shadows while Luo Jun recovered, but the monster broke free and pursued her through shifting dream worlds.
• Luo Jun used imagined powers to overpower Nine Hells, then weakened it into a plush doll within his domain.
• Luo Jun rolled the dice successfully, erased Nine Hells' last trace of soul, and completed the mission for 1,200 chips.
• The system announced that Luo Jun had leveled up twice and could not use dice again until he drew his unclaimed Attribute Points.

After defeating Nine Hells’ remnant soul in his dreamscape, Luo Jun awakened in the forest with dangerous Vital Energy ravaging his body and Zhang Daozhi pursuing him. He persuaded Zhang Daozhi that he was containing Nine Hells, and Zhang Daozhi took him to Liangyi Mountain, where he ordered the disciples to prepare the Confinement Room and warned them to flee if his golden light appeared.

• Luo Jun used 3,000 chips to draw the Myth item Heavenly Secret Note, then gained enough Strength to unlock Immortal, which allowed him to revive in full condition after death.
• Luo Jun awakened in a deep pit outside Death Valley as Vital Energy threatened to overwhelm his body, and Zhang Daozhi arrived ready to attack him with golden lightning.
• Ziye brought Luo Jun before Zhang Daozhi, and Luo Jun used the Dice of Heavenly Secrets to convince him that he had sealed Nine Hells within himself and was refining it.
• Zhang Daozhi agreed to spare Luo Jun and took him to Liangyi Mountain, while Ziye said they would meet again and departed after warning Zhang Daozhi not to harm him.
• Zhang Daozhi ordered Cai Yongzhi and the other disciples to lock Luo Jun in the Confinement Room, said he would guard him personally, and warned everyone to flee if golden light appeared there.
