• Hypotina told Yu Sheng'an that he had won and that she needed his help, and he eagerly asked when they would leave.

Yu Sheng'an and Hypotina sent Divine Projections into the Cursed Land, where Yu Sheng'an discovered that most supernatural powers were suppressed but Macro Manifestation could create objects through visualization. After meeting Hypotina in a Gundam, he learned she planned to pose as his older sister and that the world had its own communications network.

• Hypotina explained that the Cursed Land's Ray Defense Matrices made entry dangerous, so Yu Sheng'an created Divine Projections and launched them among meteorites; three survived, including two of his.
• Yu Sheng'an entered the Cursed Land through a surviving projection and found that the Internet worked through his soul, while his other powers and downloaded energy were almost entirely suppressed.
• Yu Sheng'an used Macro Manifestation to create a Tang Dao and a Desert Off-road Magic Bike, but his attempted handgun repeatedly collapsed.
• Hypotina arrived in a six-meter Gundam she had created with Macro Manifestation and gave Yu Sheng'an a ride after explaining that such creations needed blueprints and had limits.
• Hypotina proposed that Yu Sheng'an use the name Zhao Hongbo and pose as her younger brother, then revealed that the Cursed Land had its own communications network similar to the Internet.

Yu Sheng'an and Zhao Shuya reached a ruined desert city, where Zhao Shuya confronted a New Jizhou Investigator over his attempt to take her away. The ensuing battle and bombardment confirmed Yu Sheng'an's suspicions about the world's power system, leaving him wary of the Godhead's might.

• Yu Sheng'an registered for the Xiao Yi tablet, while its restricted functions strengthened his suspicions about the world.
• Zhao Shuya brought Yu Sheng'an to a ruined city and introduced him to her people as her younger brother, Zhao Hongbo.
• An alarm announced the arrival of New Jizhou soldiers, and the Investigator demanded Zhao Shuya come with him after accepting her tax payment.
• When Zhao Shuya refused, the Investigator's forces attacked, and she fought back with her armor, transforming weapons, and two Gundam 78s as Da Biao and the city's fighters joined in.
• A blazing attack and repeated explosions devastated the city, but Zhao Shuya found Yu Sheng'an alive and healed him with Nano Medical Robots.
• Yu Sheng'an questioned Zhao Shuya about the battle and realized he had deduced the world's power system, which made him fear the Godhead's power.

Yu Sheng'an explained his theory that the world's advanced Magic came from Nanobots and reflected a technological society with restricted weapon-making, while privately resolving to seek control over the technology. Zhao Shuya's convoy stopped at the border between New Jizhou and New Qingzhou after running out of food, and Yu Sheng'an was stunned when her subordinates began cultivating crops.

• A Black Blade Beetle fled underground as Zhao Shuya's convoy swept desert creatures into its dragnet.
• Yu Sheng'an told Zhao Shuya that the world had followed a technological path and theorized that Nanobots could assemble objects and that nobles restricted commoners' access to weapons.
• Yu Sheng'an wondered whether Godheads were tools created by an advanced civilization and decided to diversify his power and pursue control over the Nanobots.
• Zhao Shuya asked how to master the world's advanced Magic, and Yu Sheng'an suggested that control centers or permission systems might govern it.
• Two days later, Zhao Shuya's convoy stopped at the New Jizhou–New Qingzhou border because its food reserves had run out.
• Zhao Shuya's subordinates built a base with Nanobots and began cultivating crops, leaving Yu Sheng'an dumbfounded.

Yu Sheng'an took over Zhao Shuya's Farm after discovering its workers used inefficient methods and redesigned it with Glass Houses and LED lighting. The new farming process began amid the community's doubts, as the base's food reserves were running low.

• Yu Sheng'an questioned Yin Rui's farming practices and pointed out that they wasted soil and water.
• Yu Sheng'an asked Zhao Shuya to give him control of the Farm, and she agreed.
• Yu Sheng'an ordered the Farm cleared and built three Glass Houses with help from Da Biao and the workers.
• Yu Sheng'an directed the workers through a new farming process, and Full-spectrum LED Lighting illuminated the Glass Houses after sunset.
• News of Yu Sheng'an's takeover spread through the base, where people feared famine if the crop failed.

Yu Sheng'an’s pipe-grown Dogtooth Root flourished and produced twice the usual yield while using less water, winning the settlement’s admiration and leaving Yin Rui disgraced. As Yu Sheng'an prepared to send an avatar to the Oasis, Yin Rui slipped out at night and headed for the Glass Farm.

• Yin Rui dismissed the Farm workers’ complaints about Zhao Hongbo and waited for his crop experiment to fail.
• Yu Sheng'an’s Dogtooth Root grew rapidly over eleven days, drawing the settlement’s attention and replacing skepticism with concern about its water and manure use.
• Yu Sheng'an told Zhao Shuya he planned to send an avatar to the Oasis, and Zhao Shuya offered him guns for protection.
• The settlement discovered that the harvest had doubled while using only six hundred liters of water, and the crowd turned its attention to Yu Sheng'an.
• Yin Rui returned to her shelter in a daze, then sneaked out in the middle of the night and headed for the Glass Farm.

Yu Sheng'an left Zhao Shuya’s settlement and traveled across the desert, where a shapeshifting rider caused a convoy to mistake him for its target. The convoy escorted him to a neon-lit metropolis and brought him to a building marked Jude Dehydrated Vegetables.

• Yu Sheng'an learned Yin Rui had escaped, dismissed the risk of her stealing the Glass Farm’s methods, and declined to tell Zhao Shuya where he planned to go.
• Yu Sheng'an discovered trackers hidden in Zhao Shuya’s handgun, kept them, and rode away on a Desert Off-road Magic Bike.
• A rider transformed into Yu Sheng'an’s likeness and drew a pursuing convoy after them, splitting the convoy between the Fake and Yu Sheng'an.
• The Square-Faced Man confronted Yu Sheng'an, who convinced him he was not the target but agreed to meet his master under threat.
• The Square-Faced Man’s group escorted Yu Sheng'an to a futuristic metropolis and led him to the building Jude Dehydrated Vegetables.

Yu Sheng'an was captured by Jude Dehydrated Vegetables alongside an impostor and brought before the cyborg Jude Boss, who accused him of being Yan Yu. Yu Sheng'an escaped the office with the impostor during a sudden attack, leaving the Jude Boss to recognize the Dark Veil as the Wandering Woman's ability; afterward, Yu Sheng'an demanded a reason not to kill the impostor.

• Yu Sheng'an entered Jude Dehydrated Vegetables and was seized alongside a fake Yu Sheng'an.
• The Jude Boss examined Yu Sheng'an's sniper rifle and accused him of being Yan Yu.
• The Jude Boss fired, but darkness swept through the office as the Square-Faced Man was killed and the Jude Boss was decapitated.
• Yu Sheng'an and the impostor escaped through the shattered window on a glider, and the Jude Boss recognized the Dark Veil as the Wandering Woman's ability.
• Yu Sheng'an dismantled his recovered rifle in an alley and asked the impostor why he should not kill him.

Yu Sheng'an learned that a woman posing as Fake knew the location of a Mercury Mine and killed her before she could bargain for her life. The Bald Woman brought him to meet Third Master Gu, where a mysterious Zither Woman severed his hand with a laser.

• Fake revealed that she was a spy for Wang Jude and had discovered the Mercury Mine's location, then described the Gu Clan's succession struggle in New Qingzhou.
• When Fake refused to reveal the mine's location until Yu Sheng'an helped her escape, he killed her and inspected the components left behind.
• The Bald Woman confronted Yu Sheng'an about the Mercury Mine and said Third Master Gu wanted to see him, so he agreed to go with her.
• The Bald Woman brought Yu Sheng'an by flying car to Third Master Gu's residence, where he met a Zither Woman in a lakeside pavilion.
• After Yu Sheng'an mocked the Zither Woman, she used a laser to sever his left hand, which fell into the pond.

Yu Sheng'an fought Gu Weimeng in the estate pavilion, freezing her briefly before she unleashed an Orbital Kinetic Weapon across the lake. Gu Weimeng ordered a search for him, then realized his powers resembled those of the missing Wandering Woman and regretted possibly destroying someone whose abilities she wanted.

• The Zither Woman cut off Yu Sheng'an's hand, but he taunted her and used darkness and extreme freezing to overpower her.
• Yu Sheng'an learned that the Zither Woman was Gu Weimeng and argued with her over whether she was a man or a woman.

• Gu Weimeng ordered Aqin to seal off the block and search for Yu Sheng'an, then recognized his powers as those of the missing Wandering Woman.

Yu Sheng'an investigated the Gu Clan’s inheritance system and considered assassinating its heirs to seize its permissions. Gu Sandao then invited him to an unexpected marriage alliance, leaving Yu Sheng'an to hear the Gu Clan head’s proposal.

• Yu Sheng'an learned that Third Master Gu was a woman and considered how the Gu Clan passed down its permissions.
• Yu Sheng'an reasoned that killing the Gu Clan head’s children and disguising himself as an heir might let him claim the clan’s inheritance.
• A servant summoned Yu Sheng'an on behalf of Gu Sandao, and Yu Sheng'an insisted that Gu Sandao come to meet him.
• Gu Sandao arrived and questioned Yu Sheng'an about the Wandering Woman and his purpose in New Qingzhou.
• Gu Sandao proposed a marriage alliance to Yu Sheng'an.

Yu Sheng'an accepted Gu Sandao's offer to marry into the Gu Clan and inherit its authority, while Gu Weimeng reluctantly agreed to a formal marriage. Yu Sheng'an then attacked Gu Sandao to test whether he could take over the Brainwave Mechanical Authority, just as a Divine Staff Strike put Gu Weimeng in danger.

• Gu Sandao offered to merge the Zhao and Gu clans through Yu Sheng'an's marriage to Gu Weimeng, and Yu Sheng'an accepted his hospitality under the alias An Changqiu.
• Gu Weimeng rejected the arranged marriage, while Second Master Gu learned that An Changqiu was Zhao Shuya's brother and feared Gu Sandao planned to make Weimeng clan head.
• After reading Gu Sandao's message, Gu Weimeng visited Yu Sheng'an and agreed to marry him in name only, with any children conceived through in vitro technology.
• Yu Sheng'an used a third Divine Projection to incapacitate Gu Sandao and imitate his biological traits, intending to test whether he could inherit the Brainwave Mechanical Authority.
• A warning reported an incoming Divine Staff Strike, and Gu Weimeng lunged at Yu Sheng'an to get him out of the strike area.

Yu Sheng'an and Gu Weimeng survived an assassination attempt by Gu Weimeng’s brothers, but the attack left her dying and the Gu Clan’s heirs dead. Yu Sheng'an killed First Master Gu with a laser as Gu Weimeng fell, leaving the Oasis Gu Clan without an heir.

• Gu Weimeng shielded Yu Sheng'an from Tungsten Spikes and machine-gun fire, while the mechs attacking them were destroyed by more orbital strikes.
• Second Master Gu accused the fire-control system of targeting Gu Weimeng, but First Master Gu revealed that he had altered it and stabbed his brother to death.
• First Master Gu declared that he had eliminated his siblings to claim the clan-head position, while a Tungsten Spike struck his shoulder.
• Gu Weimeng told Yu Sheng'an to run and said she had saved him because only she could decide the fate of anyone belonging to Third Master Gu.
• Yu Sheng'an shot First Master Gu in the mouth with a laser, and Gu Weimeng collapsed and died.
• First Master Gu charged Yu Sheng'an, but another laser pierced his head, leaving the Gu Clan without an heir.

Gu Weimeng awoke in Yu Sheng'an’s domain after he revived her, learned that her family was dead, and accepted his offer to serve him. Meanwhile, Yu Sheng'an secured the Gu Clan’s authority over the Dream Butterfly Brainwave Machine and turned to a growing economic problem in Infer.

• Gu Weimeng woke in a stone hall with her natural limbs restored and found Yu Sheng'an waiting for her beyond it.
• Yu Sheng'an told Gu Weimeng that he had revived her, showed her the city where her family had died, and said he could not bring her father back.
• Yu Sheng'an gave Gu Weimeng a contract, a Divine Ring of the Internet, and a Meditation Book, then left her to sign and learn about her new world.
• Yu Sheng'an explained that he had inherited Gu Sandao’s authority over Dream Butterfly and needed to collect control rights from every administrative province to gain full command of the machine.
• At a cabinet meeting in Kebor Palace, Benjamin warned Yu Sheng'an that Infer's industry could not rely indefinitely on his financial support.

Yu Sheng'an assessed Infer's economic crisis as Kevil's export market shrank and unemployment reached fourteen percent. After learning that food production was on track to become self-sufficient, he decided to create jobs, stimulate consumption, and develop the service sector.

• Baird warned that supporting Infer was hurting Kevil's economy and proposed conquering Vilia, but Yu Sheng'an rejected the plan because war would expose the Vilia Prime Plane and give the God of Death time to recover.
• Yu Sheng'an asked Benjamin about unemployment, and Benjamin reported a conservative estimate of fourteen percent while describing the pressures facing the Worker's Republic.
• Yu Sheng'an concluded that Infer's policies had failed because the Four Primal Gods' blockade and competition from the God of Mechanical Steam had weakened its economy and Kevil's ability to support it.
• Morey reported that trials of the crops Yu Sheng'an had provided had produced a harvest and that Infer could become food self-sufficient within two years.
• Yu Sheng'an decided to create jobs, stimulate consumption, and expand the tertiary sector, leaving Benjamin and Baird to ask how they should proceed.

Yu Sheng'an and Gu Weimeng investigated the lives of ordinary people in the Worker's Republic, where a street sweeper worried about her disabled son’s future. After Yu Sheng'an assured her that the republic would endure and patted Dean on the shoulder, Dean’s mind cleared and he recognized his mother.

• Yu Sheng'an and Gu Weimeng interviewed Granny about her work, her son Dean, and how the Worker's Republic had changed their lives.
