Xu Yue consolidated his control over Novsky and prepared Qiao Feng for the Shaolin assembly while learning that the Jurchens and Liao were planning to invade Song. As Song’s court panicked, Emperor Zhezong considered handing matters to the Imperial Prince.

• Xu Yue learned that Wanyan Aguda had united the Raw Jurchen and was negotiating with Liao to march south.
• A burly man and Eunuch Li discussed their plan to invade Song, confident that their lord’s strength would ensure victory despite losing contact with their allies.
• Song’s court panicked after learning of the planned invasion, and Emperor Zhezong wondered whether to leave matters to the Imperial Prince.

An arrogant Liao-Jin envoy demanded that Song execute Zhao Yue and make Prince Duan the Crown Prince as a condition for peace, but Emperor Zhezong’s court rejected the demand and had the envoy executed. Xu Yue received news of the confrontation while traveling to Shaolin and was unsurprised that Dragon Guard Manor’s elites had defeated the Reincarnator envoy.

• A Liao-Jin envoy arrived in Bianjing to discuss peace and demanded that Song execute Zhao Yue and appoint Prince Duan Crown Prince.

• The Imperial Guards subdued Elite Reincarnator Mr. A, who had expected to defeat the palace guards, and he was beheaded.
• Xu Yue received a secret report about the envoy’s execution while traveling to Shaolin and attributed the guards’ victory to the strength of Dragon Guard Manor’s cultivated elites.

Xu Yue challenged Qiao Feng’s reverence for Shaolin by exposing the temple’s vast landholdings and the burden they placed on farmers. At the Heroic Assembly, Qiao Feng faced the gathered martial artists and offered to answer for the deaths at Juxian Manor, but Xu Yue interrupted Abbot Xuan Ci and demanded that he also explain himself.

• As the party traveled toward Shaolin, Xu Yue questioned Qiao Feng about the farmers near Shaoshi Mountain and how much land Shaolin owned.
• Xu Yue explained that Shaolin acquired land cheaply during famines and profited from rent and tax exemptions, prompting Qiao Feng and A Zhu to reconsider the temple’s wealth.
• Xu Yue arrived at Shaolin, where a large crowd of martial artists had gathered for the assembly.
• Qiao Feng confronted the crowd, accepted responsibility for the deaths at Juxian Manor, and rejected the other accusations against him.
• Abbot Xuan Ci stepped forward to demand an explanation from Qiao Feng, but Xu Yue said Xuan Ci also owed Qiao Feng an explanation regarding Xuan Ku’s death.

At the martial arts assembly, Qiao Feng’s innocence and the truth behind the Yanmen Pass killings came to light when Xiao Yuanshan revealed himself as Qiao Feng’s father. Xu Yue then challenged Xuan Ci and Murong Bo with his view of who belonged to China, leaving the assembly tense and silent.

• Xuan Ci acknowledged Shaolin’s role in Qiao Feng’s parents’ deaths and said he would not pursue vengeance, but Qiao Feng insisted he had not killed Xuan Ku.
• Murong Fu supported Qiao Feng, and A Zhu demonstrated how she could disguise herself as him.
• Xu Yue called out two concealed figures, who emerged from the forest; Qiao Feng recognized one as the Great Villain who had admitted killing the victims.
• Xiao Yuanshan confessed to the killings, revealed his face, and declared that he was Qiao Feng’s father.
• When a hero defended the killings as precautions against a Khitan, Xu Yue declared that people living on Chinese land were Chinese and that their land belonged to China.
• Xu Yue asked Xuan Ci and Murong Bo what they thought of his words, and both paused as the assembly fell silent.

Xu Yue exposed Murong Bo’s role in the old ambush and punished Xuan Ci under Song law, asserting the imperial court’s authority over the martial world. An aged monk appeared and pleaded with Xu Yue to show mercy.

• Murong Bo revealed himself, and Qiao Feng identified him as the one who had leaked the information that led to Xiao Yuanshan’s family being attacked.

• An aged monk appeared and urged Xu Yue to spare those he could.

Xu Yue subdued the martial world and ordered its members to register under Dragon Guard Manor, while the Sweeping Monk accepted a place there. His decree wiped out the Reincarnators in Great Song, as the approaching Liao-Jin army charged toward Yanmen Pass unaware of the upheaval.

• The Sweeping Monk appeared to challenge Xu Yue, but asked only for time to prepare clothes and provisions for the imprisoned abbot.
• Xu Yue agreed, then invited the Sweeping Monk to join Dragon Guard Manor, and the monk accepted.
• Xu Yue decreed that everyone in the martial world must register with county offices for Dragon Guard Manor’s supervision or be punished by Heaven.

• Emperor Zhezong and his officials heard Xu Yue’s decree, while Great Liao spies discovered they could no longer report events to their court.
• Wanyan Aguda gave command tokens to the Qing Court Reincarnators, who led the Liao-Jin forces in a charge toward Yanmen Pass.

Xu Yue answered the attack on Yanmen Pass by sending aid, arriving just as Eunuch Li trapped the Xiaoyao elders in an array. Eunuch Li’s supposed ultimate trump card, Wanyan Aguda, had already returned to Changbai Mountain, leaving the Reincarnators without the support they expected.

• After receiving an urgent report that the Liao-Jin Coalition Forces were attacking Yanmen Pass, Xu Yue won the ministers’ agreement to dispatch troops.
• Wu Yazi, Li Qiushui, and the Tianshan Child Elder continued fighting the enemy despite their exhaustion.
• Eunuch Li trapped the three elders in an Eight Trigrams array and prepared to kill them.
• Xu Yue tore apart the array, prompting Eunuch Li and the Eight Banners’ leader to retreat and recognize his strength.
• Novsky revealed that he was still alive, and Eunuch Li announced that Wanyan Aguda would intervene.
• A Wanyan Tribe messenger reported that Wanyan Aguda had returned to Changbai Mountain and instructed them to act as circumstances warranted.

Xu Yue used the Great Song Dynasty’s Dragon Qi to absorb Liao and Jin, dissolving Yelü Hongji and most of his army while leaving Eunuch Li and the Qing Court Reincarnators untouched. He then turned his attention to the parallel worlds opened by the base space.

• Eunuch Li and the Eight Banners leader admitted defeat and tried to withdraw with their army rather than remove their restrictions or use their Escape Scrolls.
• Xu Yue addressed Yelü Hongji, then decreed that Song and Liao would merge into one realm and all its people would be Chinese.
• The decree dissolved Yelü Hongji and most of the Liao troops into rainbow light, while the surviving soldiers lost their will to resist.
• Xu Yue used the Great Song Dynasty’s Dragon Qi to absorb Liao and Jin, and officials rode out to take over the former Liao territory.
• Xu Yue noticed Eunuch Li’s warning about the many opened spaces and used Second Magic: Parallel World Interference to inspect their parallel worlds.

Xu Yue used the Settlement Space to eliminate the Sino-Japanese Alliance’s Intruders across the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils world, then reshaped the Settlement Space according to his plans. After securing the little kitten’s pawprint on a contract, he returned home.

• A mysterious force erased the Sino-Japanese Alliance’s Reincarnators and Intruders across the world, killing attackers at Taihu Lake, the Beggar’s Clan assembly, and elsewhere.
• Xu Yue used the Settlement Space to connect to other Mission Spaces and carry out the infiltration, while surviving Reincarnators lost their memories of what they had witnessed.
• The world reconstructed itself near Yanmen Pass, where Eunuch Li and the Qing Court Reincarnators disintegrated after witnessing Xu Yue’s power.
• Xu Yue adjusted the Settlement Space, changing its territory, names, sects, travel routes, and other features for future visitors.
• Xu Yue pressed the little kitten’s paw onto a contract and returned home.

Xu Yue returned from the Song Liao War mission and hid his role in the strange lack of resistance, while Chen Huan and the allied legions discovered that their intelligence and forces had suffered a catastrophic failure. The chapter ended with Wanyan Aguda receiving the returning projections’ information and reacting in shock.

• Xu Yue finished analyzing cultivation techniques, gained better control over his Titan Power, and prepared to report after reaching the rank of General.
• Chen Huan found that most of the Reincarnators had returned quickly and heard that they remembered the mission but felt something was missing.
• Xu Yue agreed with the others’ suspicions as Chen Huan contacted the intelligence department and learned that its agents had vanished from the mission.
• Chen Huan realized the enemy had misled Beiyang, while the Qing Court discovered that none of its dispatched Reincarnators had returned.
• The Sino-Japanese Alliance’s legions learned that their forces had been wiped out, and Wanyan Aguda was shocked when the projections’ information reached him.

After the Song Liao War operation devastated the Sino-Japanese Alliance, the Penguin Merchant Guild revealed its role by opening a public online game in the Huaxia Zone. Xu Yue defended the guild’s rapid launch and explained that its growing prominence was part of a deliberate strategy to draw attention without provoking a united attack.

• Yuan Shikai discovered that powerful outsiders had interfered with the base spaces and erased Beiyang’s memories, while news spread that the Sino-Japanese Alliance had lost over a hundred Intruders and many other fighters.
• Novsky recovered his memories through his master’s strange egg and realized that dying would secure his own life, unlike the fate awaiting others.
• The Song Liao War base space became inaccessible, and the Penguin Merchant Guild opened its garrison space to lower-tier Reincarnators in the Huaxia Zone.
• Guang Jing condemned the Penguin Merchant Guild, while world powers suspected it had been behind the operation and began probing its growing influence.
• Xu Yue dismissed concerns that the launch was rushed and explained that the guild’s public presence would provide enough deterrence without provoking a united assault.

Xu Yue introduced Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui to their new world and ordered them to prioritize survival during missions. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaolin, Zhang Xun, and Guang Jing separately plotted against their rivals or sought cooperation with Utsunomiya Taro, who ended the day unaware of the schemes converging around him.

• Xu Yue told Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui to learn the world's rules and protect themselves, explaining that they could team up with his other partners when needed.
• Zhang Xiaolin restored most of his strength, then called Utsunomiya Taro to offer intelligence and discuss cooperation against the Penguin Merchant Guild and Dragon Soul.
• Zhang Xun left his residence through a secret passage and asked to meet Utsunomiya Taro with important intelligence.
• Prince Qing warned Guang Jing that Japan would eventually turn against the Qing, but Guang Jing insisted on his plan and ordered an invitation sent to Utsunomiya Taro.
• Utsunomiya Taro returned home, recorded the day's negotiations on a communication slip, and made tea.

Xu Yue used the Penguin Merchant Guild’s services and membership rules to blunt the Green Gang’s attempt to turn Reincarnators against the Guild. Zhang Xiaolin’s first move failed, and Xu Yue decided to keep developing the Guild while his rivals reconsidered their plans.

• Zhang Xiaolin’s subordinates spread claims that the Penguin Merchant Guild kept Penguin Coins when members died, stirring up outrage across Reincarnation Space.
• The Penguin Merchant Guild sent members a notice offering a one-time withdrawal option while warning that those who withdrew would lose access to discounts and services, and it exposed and refunded several deliberate rumor-spreaders.
• Zhang Xiaolin tried to counter the notice by calling the Guild tyrannical, but his subordinates reported that members whose services had been cut off were already complaining about losing the Guild’s essential platforms and benefits.
• Zhang Xun and Guang Jing backed down from their remaining plans after seeing the first attack fail, while Xu Yue decided to let the conflict drag on and continue developing the Guild.

After the failed campaign against Beiyang, Reincarnators entered a Punishment mission to find and win the favor of someone in Chukashiro City. Xu Yue realized he had landed in a zombie-apocalypse world far from the target city and planned a cautious route there as reports of unrest began to spread.

• Chen Huan warned Beiyang’s Reincarnators to act within their limits and prioritize the greater good before the Punishment mission began.
• Xu Yue identified the mission world as School Days of the Apocalypse and learned that he had to find someone favored by the world in Chukashiro City.
• Xu Yue discovered that his assigned identity had placed him on an express train traveling from Hakodate to Sapporo, farther from his destination.
• Xu Yue planned to return south by train and continue toward Chukashiro City, avoiding air travel in case the outbreak brought down a plane.
• Xu Yue watched a news report warn of increasing riots and urge citizens to stay indoors.

Xu Yue discovered an infected passenger on the train and restrained her while disguising the outbreak as a neurological illness. When more infected chased survivors through the carriages, he sealed off the passage and prepared to keep the outbreak contained.

• Xu Yue heard an attendant report a convulsing passenger near the restroom and hurried to help.
• Xu Yue identified the passenger as infected, pinned her down, restrained her, and broke her neck when screams came from the rear carriages.
• Xu Yue rushed toward the rear and found infected people chasing three survivors through the train.
• Xu Yue locked the carriage door on the survivors and infected outside, then piled luggage against it to block the opening.

Xu Yue used his reputation and influence to secure permission to get off the Hokuto at Lake Toya, but the station had already fallen into chaos. When the train reached the platform, he saw the station security team was dead and ordered the train to leave.

• Xu Yue blocked off a carriage, warned the passengers about the corpses, and used force to stop them from reopening the door.
• Xu Yue identified himself as a member of China's BAT Group, and the passengers and train crew accepted his account of the outbreak.
• The conductor contacted dispatch, which revealed the outbreak had affected other trains and agreed to let Xu Yue disembark at Lake Toya while the others continued to an inspection site.
• Xu Yue used his status to press dispatch for the early stop, and the conductor asked him to leave without alerting the other passengers.
• As the Hokuto entered Lake Toya, passengers saw survivors fleeing corpses across the platform, and the security personnel sent to meet Xu Yue appeared to be dead.
• Xu Yue told the crew to speed up and leave the station, then find another route.

After Lake Toya station fell to man-eating monsters, Xu Yue persuaded the control center to reroute the train south toward Tokyo. When passengers protested the turn, he subdued Councilman Shimada by claiming he might be infected and locked him in a restroom, leaving the rest of the passengers too intimidated to object.

• The train escaped Lake Toya station as survivors were thrown from the accelerating train, and the control center confirmed that outbreaks were spreading across Hokkaido.
• Xu Yue asked the control center to reroute the Hokuto south toward Tokyo, and the conductor guided it through a turn toward Hakodate.
• Passengers protested after realizing the train had reversed direction, and Xu Yue went to the rear carriages to quiet them.
• Councilman Shimada demanded that the train return north, so Xu Yue suggested Shimada might be infected, tied him up, and locked him in a restroom.
• The other passengers stopped objecting and agreed to continue toward Hakodate.

After the train reached Hakodate, Xu Yue was escorted toward Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station through a city collapsing into chaos. When a traffic jam and the infected blocked their way, Xu Yue led his escorts through an alley and revealed his strength.

• Xu Yue left the Hokuto Express with Inspector Tanaka Yamatarou and two officers assigned to escort him.
• The group drove through Hakodate, where looters, smoke, and traffic accidents showed the city’s worsening disorder.
• A massive chain-reaction crash blocked the road, so Xu Yue ordered everyone to leave the SUV and continue on foot.
• After learning infected were approaching, Xu Yue led the group into an alley and fashioned a sharpened weapon from a water pipe.
• Xu Yue killed an infected with the pipe and warned the officers to avoid firing because the infected were sensitive to sound.

Xu Yue and three officers navigated infected-filled streets toward Hokuto Station, choosing to cross a plaza hosting an anime convention rather than take a longer detour. Near the plaza wall, they discovered five people ahead, including a disabled Reincarnator, and Xu Yue told the officers to call him Mr. Yue.

• Xu Yue led the officers through the alleys after they found an infected attacker, warning them that the infected were sensitive to sound and taking a pistol for self-defense.
• The group avoided infected for over twenty minutes before Inspector Tanaka explained that the nearest bridge was beside a crowded anime convention at the Twin Office Buildings.
• Xu Yue surveyed the main road and found it blocked by wrecked vehicles and a horde of undead, so he agreed to try crossing the convention plaza instead.
• An officer familiar with the area proposed climbing a wall around the plaza, and the group headed toward it.
• Xu Yue found several dead infected and sensed five people behind a wall, including a disabled Reincarnator, then asked the officers to call him Mr. Yue.
