• Zhang Yang gathered the faction’s leaders at Sword Dao Holy Land and invited them to seize the chance to comprehend Sword Dao Law.

Zhang Yang watched Sword Dao Law 5.0 form a self-aware Sword Immortal Heavenly Dao and establish the Sword Dao Holy Land, whose unexpected priorities favored purification, survival, and balance. The law then created the Sky-Reaching Sword Array, combining four powerful arrays into a system Zhang Yang recognized as stronger than an enormous army.

Mu Shaoan and the Sword Immortal forces survived the Third Generation Insecticide’s repeated attacks, which had been launched through time, and remained sealed inside the Sword Dao Half-Dimension for a million years. After breaking free, they found the Fourth Sequence devastated and 09 Sub-Account dead, while Mu Shaoan concluded that Fatty Zhang had died too.

• Mu Shaoan realized the Third Generation Insecticide had crossed through time repeatedly, warned the commanders to hold their positions, and suspected Fatty Zhang’s traps had repeatedly thwarted the enemy.
• Mu Shaoan ordered the four Sky-Reaching Sword Arrays activated, and the Sword Immortal forces and allied planes destroyed the Mechanical Zombie Legions while the sword-qi storm’s power stayed below its dangerous limit.
• After the battle, a black curtain sealed the Sword Dao Half-Dimension, and Mu Shaoan quietly raised his cup toward the distant void while the others remained on guard.
• A million years later, Mu Shaoan and hundreds of Ancient Gods broke through the curtain and discovered that the Fourth Sequence had been devastated and 09 Sub-Account had died leaving a message for Fatty Zhang.
• Mu Shaoan declared that Fatty Zhang must be dead, but Li Gouhai and the others insisted their master could still be alive; Mu Shaoan urged them to prepare for the Fourth Generation Insecticide.
