Chapter Summaries

Zhang Yang suspected Ancient God 'Game' was luring the Mechanical Zombies to his own lair and paid Mu Shaoan to investigate. Mu Shaoan assembled a fifty-person team for the mission, leaving within three days to uncover what was happening.

Mu Shaoan assembled an expedition team, sold them Plague God Seals, and traded Zhang Yang an improved formula before revealing his plan to explore a ruined world for the secret of the Ancient God “Game.” Zhang Yang then told Mu Shaoan that his brother Mu Shaojun might still be alive in another sequence, leaving Mu Shaoan shocked.

• Ji Ming, Gou Dao, Zhu Ti, and the other first-generation disciples negotiated an agreement with Mu Shaoan, while Zhang Yang urged them to join the expedition.

Mu Shaoan’s group followed 09 Sub-Account through a concealed route into a ruined plane where the Ancient God “Game” had set a dimensional-descent trap. They reached a cursed gray-mist lair, and Mu Shaoan revealed that everyone in his group carried a Plague God Seal.

• Zhang Yang watched Yang Chaochao’s livestream and entered his sub-account Qin Shu, whose long-practiced stele technique had become a Heavenly God Skill.
• 09 Sub-Account warned Mu Shaoan’s group about the danger and led them through the plane using earthen spheres that concealed their law aura.
• 09 Sub-Account explained that the outer ruined plane was a trap laid by the Ancient God “Game” and guided the group toward a gray-mist area below.
• 09 Sub-Account identified the area as a likely curse laboratory and said the Ancient God “Game” was probably the last survivor of a cursed branch of the Ancient Human Race.
• 09 Sub-Account warned most of the group to stay behind, but Mu Shaoan said everyone carried a Plague God Seal, leaving 09 Sub-Account stunned.

Mu Shaoan led the group through a cursed region, explaining how the Karma Curse and its extensions ensnared and turned victims against one another. The Plague God Seals protected them, and the group emerged safely after resisting the Lost Curse.

• 09 Sub-Account charged into the gray mist, and Mu Shaoan sent Ji Ming and Gou Dao to test it with their Sword Heart Divine Seals.
• The seals dispersed the mist temporarily, but it retaliated with blood rain and phantoms that the group’s Plague God Seals held back.
• Mu Shaoan identified the threat as a Karma Curse and explained that fighting it could make them part of the curse, so he led the group onward.
• Mu Shaoan sensed a Wish-Granting Banner Curse, stopped Qin Shu from speaking, and entered the mist first.
• The group crossed the cursed gray mist under the Plague God Seals’ protection and emerged into a sunlit landscape.
• Mu Shaoan explained that the Lost Curse could replace its victims and make companions kill one another, but the Plague God Seals had protected them.

Mu Shaoan explained the types and classifications of anomalies as he led his group along the Yangguan Path. They discovered 09 Sub-Account had been trapped by a powerful ghost bridge, and Mu Shaoan called on Zhang Yang to help them.

• Mu Shaoan described how anomalies could be classified by behavior, harm, motivation, and origin as the group walked past the woodcutters, the Yangguan Path, and a black cloud.
• The road and surrounding scenery changed, revealing 09 Sub-Account facing a bridge that connected the group to an identical version of themselves.
• 09 Sub-Account explained that the bridge combined thousands of curses and anomalies, and he suspected it had been created by the organization behind the Ancient God 'Game.'
• Qin Shu Sub-Account accused 09 Sub-Account of luring them into the trap, and 09 Sub-Account admitted he had drawn Mu Shaoan in because he needed help escaping.
• 09 Sub-Account warned that their minds and true spirits were on one side of the bridge while their bodies were on the other, and that retreating would turn them into anomalies.
• Mu Shaoan realized the bridge was not actively triggered and shouted at Zhang Yang to stop watching the livestream and help.

Zhang Yang watched Mu Shaoan and 09 Sub-Account confront the Ghost Bridge, while Qin Shu’s Demon-Slaying Stele created an opening to destroy it. Mu Shaoan took most of the spoils, leaving 09 Sub-Account furious.

• Zhang Yang examined the Karma Curse’s effects and decided Mu Shaoan’s desperate calls for help were a trick.
• Mu Shaoan revealed that 09 Sub-Account had lost their bet and asked whether they would cooperate or split up.
• 09 Sub-Account attacked the Ghost Bridge with the power of twelve supreme Earth Veins, and Mu Shaoan called Qin Shu into action.
• Qin Shu used the Mountain and River Sun and Moon Demon-Slaying Stele to halt the Ghost Bridge’s defenses briefly.
• Mu Shaoan, Li Gouhai, and Jiang Rong seized the opening and shattered the Ghost Bridge into seven sections.
• 09 Sub-Account, Li Gouhai, and Jiang Rong each claimed one section, while Mu Shaoan took the remaining four and taunted 09 Sub-Account.

Mu Shaoan and Qin Shu confronted 09 Sub-Account, who revealed that the Ancient God 'Game' sought to inherit the Ancient Human Race's curse branch by subduing its Guardian Stranges. Zhang Yang took over through Qin Shu and decided to subdue a Guardian Strange himself, leaving 09 Sub-Account furious but unable to stop him.

• Mu Shaoan demanded that 09 Sub-Account explain the danger ahead and provide assurances of safety before they proceeded.
• 09 Sub-Account recognized Qin Shu and offered him an alliance, explaining that the Ancient God 'Game' had subdued four of the nine Guardian Stranges and intended to sacrifice civilizations to claim the rest.
• Qin Shu accepted the alliance on the condition that 09 Sub-Account help secure a Guardian Strange for Mu Shaoan, but 09 Sub-Account refused and explained the rewards and risks of subduing one.
• Qin Shu announced that he would subdue the Guardian Strange himself and offered Yang Chaochao a planar quota, then Zhang Yang withdrew his consciousness from Qin Shu.
• Mu Shaoan comforted 09 Sub-Account and argued that Zhang Yang now had the information needed to overpower the Guardian Strange before the Ancient God 'Game' could interfere.
• 09 Sub-Account warned that Zhang Yang's intervention would alert the Ancient God 'Game', while Mu Shaoan defended Zhang Yang's strength and criticized 09 Sub-Account for trying to take shortcuts.

After discovering that Ancient God "Game" was attacking to claim the guardian anomaly’s limited plane slots, Zhang Yang issued decrees and persuaded the Table to lead the Wood Demon Clan toward the contested plane. Zhang Yang secretly intended to use the expedition to remove a growing threat from his world while keeping his own realm safe.

• Zhang Yang realized that Ancient God "Game" wanted to occupy the guardian anomaly’s limited plane slots and ordered Sword Immortal reinforcements to attack it.
• Zhang Yang issued decrees granting the Wood Demon Clan permission to establish a plane and expanding the Sword Immortal World’s protections and sects.
• The Table understood that occupying the guardian anomaly’s final plane slot could thwart Ancient God "Game" and asked Zhang Yang to let him lead the expedition.
• Zhang Yang agreed to the Table’s request, and the Table handed over authority over the Table World before setting out with five hundred and ninety billion Wood Demons.
• Zhang Yang revealed that he had no intention of expanding into the plane and hoped the expedition would remove the Wood Demons and the Table from his world.

Zhang Yang watched several fronts unfold as his forces expanded across the Dream Dimension and launched a surprise attack on the Fifth Guardian Aberration. Meanwhile, the Table and Wood Demon alliance reached an unclaimed plane, where the Wood Demons broke with the Table and began establishing their own foothold.

• Zhang Yang observed the Sword Immortal forces build up their Dream Dimension bases, expand immigration, and prepare to attack the Fifth Guardian Aberration by way of the Dream High-Speed Rail.
• 09 Sub-Account defected to Mu Shaoan and agreed to help subdue the Sixth Guardian Great Aberration as their group set out again.
• The Table and Wood Demon allied army entered the void Zhang Yang had identified, and three old Wood Demons broke through to Heavenly God realm and revealed a blank plane's Plane Radiation Wheel.
• The Wood Demons surrounded the Table and demanded a place on the newly discovered plane, while the Table insisted he did not intend to compete for Dao Ancestor.
• An old Wood Demon became the plane's Dao Ancestor, and the Wood Demons merged into it to begin settling and developing their new home.

Zhang Yang watched the Wood Demon Clan seize the empty plane and build a powerful Heavenly Dao Barrier, using its collective intelligence to bypass the hidden threats he believed the Ancient Gods had left behind. Two Ancient Gods then shattered the barrier, and as He Yimou and Wu County’s coalition army began its attack, Zhang Yang prepared to claim the plane’s guardian great anomaly.

• Zhang Yang used mushroom-spore alts to observe the Wood Demon Clan’s orderly migration and collective intelligence across the Plane Radiation Wheel.
• The Wood Demon Clan rapidly claimed the empty plane, created a golden-brilliant Dao Ancestor, and raised a barrier from three hundred billion Wood Demons.
• Zhang Yang explained that he had studied the Wood Demon Clan for thousands of years and released it to probe enemies and absorb danger.
• The Wood Demon Clan’s collective intelligence allowed it to withstand the plane’s hidden dream-related threats that Zhang Yang feared would destroy the Sword Immortal World.
• Two Ancient Gods arrived and shattered the newly built Wood Demon Barrier with a single strike.
• As He Yimou and Wu County’s coalition army attacked, Zhang Yang set his sights on making the plane’s guardian great anomaly submit.

Zhang Yang’s three million Sword Immortals unleashed an immense Sword Qi Storm to force out the Fifth Guardian Great Strange Phenomenon, but the phenomenon remained hidden as the storm grew dangerously powerful. When He Yimou and Wu County entered to stabilize it, the entire legion followed, leaving the battle at a perilous turning point.

• Zhang Yang reasoned that the Fifth Guardian Great Strange Phenomenon had limits and ordered the Sword Immortals to attack its suspected location indiscriminately.
• Three million Sword Immortals generated merging Sword Qi Storms, while He Yimou and Wu County prepared for two approaching Ancient Gods with Xuan Capital Sky-Plundering Sword Arrays.
• The Ancient Gods withdrew as the Sword Qi Storm ring’s compression rose, and Thousand-Handed Race troops gathered around the Sword Immortal Legions.
• Wu County and He Yimou entered the storm to stabilize it, but the Fifth Guardian Great Strange Phenomenon still did not appear.
• Zhang Yang feared the gamble had failed, then saw all three million Sword Immortals leap into the storm to help control it.

Zhang Yang sent Sword Dao Law 4.0 and his sword children into the Sword Qi Storm, then faced the Fifth Guardian Grand Anomaly’s devastating curse tsunami to protect the Sword Immortal World. He survived its black giant fist only because the rebellious Heart of Heaven and Earth broke its seal and shielded him.

• Zhang Yang sent the stele carrying Sword Dao Law 4.0 into the Sword Qi Storm with Heart Sword Child and Sword Soul Child, then fled aboard the Boat of Death.
• The Sword Qi Storm forced the Fifth Guardian Grand Anomaly’s enormous true body into view, and its curse tsunami struck the surrounding planes.
• Zhang Yang fortified the Sword Immortal World with his defenses and fifty Plague God Seals, then went beyond the world to shield it from the brunt of the curse.
• The curse tsunami condensed into a giant black fist that destroyed Zhang Yang’s body and half his Blunted True Spirit Particles, but the Heart of Heaven and Earth weakened the blow first.
• Zhang Yang revived after the remaining curse was absorbed, realizing that the rebellious Heart of Heaven and Earth had broken its seal to save him.

The Sword Dao Law reclaimed its unruly power when He Yimou and Wu County destroyed the guardian great aberration, awakening sword cultivators and paving the way for Sword Dao Ancient Gods. Zhang Yang dismantled his Sword Immortal institutions and reunited with the Heavenly Dao Maiden, then warned that the Sword Dao’s nature could bring grave trouble and urged preparations for a deep pit.

• The guardian great aberration shattered the forming cursed tsunami, and its roar devastated the Thousand-Handed Race army, forcing the survivors to retreat.
• A dragon of sword light cut the guardian great aberration in two, and the Sword Dao Law broke through 5.0 as sword cultivators across the Sword Immortal World entered sudden enlightenment.
• Zhang Yang dispersed the Ancient Demon Heavenly Realm Defense System, gathered the Heart of Heaven and Earth's ashes, and decided to retire and dismantle the Sword Immortal Grand Hall.
• He Yimou and Wu County appeared as sword-light projections, and Zhang Yang praised them for saving him and the Sword Immortal World before walking away.
• The Heavenly Dao Maiden revealed that she still had backup accounts, and Zhang Yang explained that the Sword Dao’s sharpness and pride could change those who followed it and that they needed to prepare for the trouble ahead.

Zhang Yang explained how He Yimou and Wu County became Sword Dao Ancient Gods and warned Mu Shaoan that Sword Dao Law 5.0 could draw the Third Generation Insecticide to their world. After arguing over whether to flee or fight, Zhang Yang secretly reaffirmed that he would stay and face the coming battle, leaving the identity of his prepared successor unrevealed.

• Mu Shaoan returned with Li Gouhai and Jiang Rong, and asked Zhang Yang how He Yimou and Wu County had become Sword Dao Ancient Gods.
• Zhang Yang explained that Sword Dao Law had advanced to the fourth layer and that mastery of Present Laws could grant Ancient God status, then warned that those laws carried dangerous karmic cause and effect.
• Mu Shaoan realized the danger was tied to the conflict between Acquired Beings and Innate Beings, and challenged Zhang Yang for severing his affiliation with Sword Dao Law 5.0.
• Zhang Yang warned that Sword Dao Law 5.0 could bring the Third Generation Insecticide to their world, while Mu Shaoan urged him to fight rather than abandon the Sword Immortals.
• Mu Shaoan offered to stay behind and cover Zhang Yang's retreat, but Zhang Yang kicked him away and revealed that Mu Shaoan was already dead in truth.
• After Mu Shaoan left, Zhang Yang toasted his Main Body and resolved to face the battle, revealing that he had prepared a sub-account successor.

After Sword Immortal World advanced into Sword Dao Half-Dimension, Zhang Yang gathered Sword Immortal Civilization’s leaders to reveal his preparations for the coming disaster. He showed them how the Heart of Heaven and Earth could conceal part of the Half-Dimension, while He Yimou warned that the plan could endanger Zhang Yang’s authority and trigger Sword Dao Law’s independent growth.

• The Thousand-Handed Race’s Ancient Gods retreated, while Ancient God "Game" vanished and the Dream Ancient God remained missing, leaving Sword Immortal Civilization unaware of the looming Third Generation Insecticide calamity.
• He Yimou and Wu County asked Zhang Yang to take charge of Sword Dao Law 5.0, and he led them and other core figures to the hidden Heaven and Earth Dwelling.
• Zhang Yang revealed that the courtyard contained the complete form of the Heart of Heaven and Earth and used it to display a projection of Sword Dao Half-Dimension.
• Zhang Yang proposed using the Heart of Heaven and Earth and the Hidden Sword Earth Vein network to conceal part of Sword Dao Half-Dimension as a safeguard against future attacks.
• He Yimou warned that the Sword Immortals’ collective will could resist the plan and that Sword Dao Law might acquire enough authority to reach 6.0 and take control of appointments, weakening Zhang Yang’s position as Dao Ancestor.

Zhang Yang explained how he had gained authority over the Sword Dao Half-Dimension, easing fears of a conflict with the Sword Dao Law while revealing that he had created four Heavenly Laws to restrain it. After the others left, they realized his preparations surrounding the Guardian Great Anomaly might have been far more extensive than he admitted.

• The Heavenly Dao Maiden, Mu Shaoan, and Wu County offered to take risks to protect Zhang Yang from a possible Dao Strife, but he ordered them to stop.
• Zhang Yang summoned the four Sword Immortal Grand Hall children, who each held a powerful object, and admitted he controlled roughly one-fifth to one-third of the Sword Dao Half-Dimension’s authority.
• Zhang Yang explained that he had used the Boat of Death and the Sword Dao Law 4.0 Stele to help save He Yimou, Wu County, and the others, while the Guardian Great Anomaly’s power enabled the Sword Dao Law to advance to 5.0.
• Zhang Yang revealed that he had created the Sword Forging Furnace, Sword Casting Platform, Sword Sharpening Stone, and Sword Sheath as Heavenly Laws, then urged everyone to focus on their greater enemy.
• Mu Shaoan and the others left and concluded that Zhang Yang had likely known about the Guardian Great Anomaly and prepared to seize its power long before the battle.

Zhang Yang and the Heavenly Dao Maiden prepared a hidden plane as a reserve base for the coming war against the Third Generation Insecticide. The chapter left Zhang Yang secretly continuing his preparations after the Heavenly Dao Maiden walked away.

• Zhang Yang reflected on the cost of his schemes and the agreement that made 09 Sub-Account his successor if Zhang Yang died.
• Zhang Yang told the Heavenly Dao Maiden he would honor his previous main body's legacy and promised to do his best to keep them both alive.
• The Heavenly Dao Maiden used the refracted projection of the Sword Dao Half-Dimension while Zhang Yang anchored it with twenty core authorities he had taken from the Guardian Great Strange.
• The Heavenly Dao Maiden warned that obtaining the remaining core authorities would be extremely difficult, and Zhang Yang explained that he planned to forge a new plane as a hidden logistics base.
• The Heavenly Dao Maiden left after teasing Zhang Yang about his habit of concealing plans, and Zhang Yang secretly summoned twelve more child attendants.

Zhang Yang accelerated preparations for a warning system against the Third Generation Insecticide and began secretly dividing the Sword Dao Half-Dimension into subplanes. He recruited Liang Jin to govern the first one, while the Heavenly Dao Maiden left to bring Mu Shaoan’s family together.

• The Heavenly Dao Maiden told Zhang Yang she had summoned Qu Shang to help Mu Shaoan’s family and borrowed his Boat of Death to bring them over.
• She paid Zhang Yang with a crystal containing an authority of the Sword Dao Half-Dimension, then departed as he worried that she and Qu Shang knew about his plans.
• Zhang Yang ordered Hu Chen to prioritize the Hidden Heavenly Secrets warning system, assigned it several teams and unlimited resources, and secured Hu Chen’s promise to finish it within thirty years.
• Zhang Yang summoned Liang Jin, praised his cautious approach to Sword Dao Law 5.0, and offered him the first role governing one of five secret subplanes.
• Liang Jin knelt in alarm as Zhang Yang promised to grant him the position of Sword Dao Law Heavenly God while keeping his public post at the Earth Vein Dispatch Hub.

Zhang Yang assigned Liang Jin, Pang Di, Hu Chen, Cheng Cai, and Shang Fang to lead major projects across five subsidiary planes, explaining the talents and past contributions that made them valuable to the Profound Gate. The five were set to become the organization’s next generation of leaders and providers of remaining value.

• Liang Jin accepted the position of Dao Ancestor in Heavenly No. 4 Plane and received authority over its forty-nine Great Daos.
• Pang Di became Dao Ancestor of Heavenly No. 5 Plane, took charge of the Ancient Demon Heavenly Realm Defense System, and received its forty-nine Great Daos.
• Zhang Yang assigned Hu Chen, Cheng Cai, and Shang Fang to separate subsidiary planes alongside Liang Jin and Pang Di, the five chief disciples of the Profound Gate's Gou Sect.
• Zhang Yang recalled Liang Jin’s advances in the Hidden Sword Earth Vein network, Pang Di’s expertise in defenses and inheritances, and Cheng Cai’s establishment of the secret Fortune and Merit Department.
• Zhang Yang placed Shang Fang in charge of farming in a new plane, recognizing his role in nurturing the Spiritual Plant World Tree and developing farming into a Great Dao.

Zhang Yang offered the Dog Hai Alliance four core Sword Dao authorities in exchange for guarding the bridgehead against the Third Generation Insecticide. Mu Shaoan, Li Gouhai, and Jiang Rong considered the layered defense plan as Zhang Yang explained who would hold each line.

• Mu Shaoan, Li Gouhai, and Jiang Rong formed the Dog Hai Alliance and seized half of the Wood Demons’ plane before Zhang Yang’s decree made them stop and form an alliance with the Wood Demons.
• Zhang Yang met the Dog Hai Alliance and offered the Sword Forging Furnace, Sword Casting Platform, Sword Sharpening Stone, and Sword Sheath as rewards for guarding the Sword Dao Holy Land.
• Zhang Yang explained that the open Sword Dao Holy Land would serve as the frontal fortress, supported by four guardian planes and five isolated buffer planes between it and his secure base.
• Mu Shaoan questioned Zhang Yang’s defenses against the Third Generation Insecticide’s cross-plane curses, and Zhang Yang described how purity, Plague God Seals, and Dream Law 3.0 would protect the base.
• Zhang Yang said He Yimou and Wu County would guard the Sword Dao Holy Land while the Dog Hai Alliance and Wood Demons held the main battlefield; Mu Shaoan asked whether they would be the only main force.
