Zhang Chiguo tried to persuade the other three Heavenly Kings to stay in Qinggang, but a mysterious data file changed their minds. In Linyuan City, Han Su used Machinery Fragment No. 05 to make the agents plotting against Xu Ji hesitate during his ascension ceremony.

• Zhang Chiguo warned Wang Buddha, Zhao Brahma, and Li Moses that leaving Qinggang could expose their knowledge to exploitation, while staying meant opposing the nobles.
• Wang Buddha, Zhao Brahma, and Li Moses spoke of feeling powerless against the nobles, and Zhang Chiguo received a message that prompted him to leave abruptly.

• Han Su used the Crystal Skull and Machinery Fragment No. 05 to amplify the agents' fear of death, making them consider waiting for someone else to attack Xu Ji first.

Xu Ji completed his ascension as Golden Grand Duke, and the World Will protected him from an assassination attempt. As the Abyss Sequence Equation spread worldwide and threw the existing order into crisis, Han Su prepared to exploit the chaos, while the Grotesque Doctor reacted to the Old Singer’s sudden love by ordering the Queens’ authority restored.

• Xu Ji’s ascension activated the World Will, which stopped six assassins’ attacks and stripped away their spiritual consciousness.
• Miss Ai explained that Xu Ji’s Golden Pen and Grand Duke status placed him under the World Will’s protection, even as the Golden Cell began negotiating over Contract No. 02.

Han Su learned that true third-stage Mysterious Power training required a genuine baptism and accepted Miss Ai’s guidance as he prepared for the coming struggle over the Machinery Fragments and the Emperor’s Throne. Meanwhile, Rong Qiyue discovered a dormant substance in the blood samples, and a glimpse of another Life Path showed a future Han Su using the throne to meet his past self.

• Han Su arranged a secret meeting for his companions, assigning tasks through Miss Ai while they pursued their own responsibilities.
• Miss Ai explained that true baptism meant pushing beyond one’s current form, unlike the Abyss Tier 2 shortcut taught by the Scorpion Tail Temple.
• Han Su asked whether Miss Ai was Li Manman or Mother of Machinery, and she said she was Miss Ai while promising to preserve Li Manman’s data.
• Miss Ai told Han Su that his opponent might be shaping him into a desired God, and she framed the coming contest as a race through the seven steps of the abyss to the throne.
• Rong Qiyue identified a dormant substance in the blood samples and reported his discovery to Xue Zhi, intending to send the findings to Miss Ai.
• On another Life Path, an older Han Su asked for five minutes of rest so he could use the throne to meet his past self, recalling that Manman had urged him to take this step.

Han Su attempted to undergo the abyss’s baptism and encountered a mysterious man carrying a Black Suitcase, who told him a supposed lie about the Emperor and the Twelve Knights. After asking whether their war had been won, Han Su realized he first needed to complete his Golden Cell growth by identifying the Knight-descendant bloodlines he had yet to obtain.

• Han Su entered the abyss twice to provoke its creatures and recite the Fishing Horn, but the Nightmare Horse dragged him back to reality each time.
• On his third attempt, Han Su’s words awakened ancient wills, and a man carrying a Black Suitcase froze the abyss before approaching with Duke on his shoulder.
• The man told Han Su to remember a lie about the Emperor, the Twelve Knights, and their bloodlines, then warned him that he could ask only one question.
• Han Su asked whether they had won the war, and the man replied that they had not yet won but that their enemies had paid a price.
• After the man vanished and the Nightmare Horse returned him to reality, Han Su concluded that he had to reach the limit of Golden Cell division before true baptism.
• Miss Ai told Han Su that Doctor Rong Qiyue had analyzed the Ancestral Substance in the noble descendants’ bloodlines, so they could begin screening and cross-referencing them.

Han Su and the Ancient Castle companions planned to pursue Mechanical Fragments, expand their research and alliances, and prepare for a mysterious Queen-sequence source. He then asked Xu Ji to use his new status as a Grand Duke to secure Han Su’s appointment as Knight Commander of the Eastern Continent and demand action from the World Guardian Organization.

• Miss Ai told Han Su that Rong Qiyue had detected a substance in noble blood, and Han Su proposed collecting samples from several confirmed Knight-descendant bloodlines, including Shen Qinghui’s, while sparing her if possible.
• Li Manman hosted the Ancient Castle companions’ meeting, where Han Su reviewed the search for two missing Mechanical Fragments and warned everyone about Grotesque Doctor.
• Wei Lan explained that Regional Queens could compete to obtain a mysterious Queen-sequence source if three Marquises guaranteed them, and Han Su offered to secure a Grand Duke’s signature.
• Han Su asked the companions to support Rong Qiyue’s laboratory and prepare Qinggang to take in dangerous defectors, revealing that he planned to seek the Knight Errant’s Eastern Continent defense zone.
• At Jinshui Manor, Han Su asked Xu Ji to issue formal demands to the World Guardian Organization, guaranteeing Han Su’s rewards and appointment as Knight Commander while pressing for action against the detained Morgan Family members and the organization’s leader.

Han Su’s report about the Azure Harbor child kidnappings led the World Guardian Organization to conceal its connection to the Divine Descent Plan and enlist the Shen Family to stop him. At the Scorpion Tail Temple, a Shen family uncle tried to recruit Han Su, then revealed a photograph of his mother, him, and a black cat tied to a secret spell.

• Han Su demanded an explanation and investigators for the decade-old kidnapping case, but the World Guardian Organization’s Red-robed Grand Sacrifices decided to stall him and seal away the Divine Descent Plan records.
• Han Su suspected the Organization was delaying him and considered how to pressure it, while Lu Xiaoba went to buy explosives.
• A middle-aged Shen family man arrived at the Scorpion Tail Temple, introduced himself as Han Su’s uncle, and brought Shen Qinghui to see him.
• The uncle offered Han Su a Viscount title and threatened that the Pallor Factory matter could jeopardize his Knight Commander position, but Han Su rejected the family’s pressure.
• The uncle gave Han Su a family photograph and revealed that his mother had left him a secret spell connected to the Giant Crown’s Keeper, the Black Cat Duke.

Han Su agreed to travel with Shen Zhuohan to Lakeside City to find the laboratory his mother had left behind, while publicly pretending to consider returning to the Shen Family. On the flight, Shen Zhuohan explained the Giant's Crown and revealed that the Black Cat Duke had disappeared from the family residence to find Han Su.

• Han Su recognized the Black Cat Duke in a photograph and learned from Shen Zhuohan that his mother had once kept a laboratory in Lakeside City.
• Shen Zhuohan admitted he would put his family first if forced to choose, but Han Su chose to trust him and agreed to go with him.
• Han Su postponed Lu Xiaoba's planned bombing, notified Miss Ai, and boarded Shen Zhuohan's private jet with the Shen Family party.
• Shen Zhuohan explained that the Giant's Crown was a sacred relic of the Whale Clan and that the Black Cat Duke could draw on its power.
• Shen Zhuohan said the Black Cat Duke had once favored Han Su's mother, then disappeared from the ancestral residence until a photograph revealed it had gone to find Han Su.

Han Su returned to Lakeside City to find what his mother had left behind while investigating the Divine Descent Plan, but Black Cat Duke appeared and led him onward. In Industry City, the Old Marquis revealed that the Shen Family needed Duke to locate the Void Palace and recover what they had invested there.

• Han Su asked Shen Zhuohan whether the Shen Family had attended the conference that approved the Divine Descent Plan, and learned the Old Marquis had represented them.
• Han Su agreed to cooperate with Shen Zhuohan but refused to accept the Shen Family’s orders, then chose to wait in Lakeside City rather than Mountain Foot City.
• Shen Zhuohan sent Han Su to the family estate where his mother had once lived, while he went to Industry City to meet the Old Marquis.
• Han Su explored the estate and saw reminders of his mother’s childhood before Black Cat Duke emerged from beneath her bed and beckoned him to follow.
• The Old Marquis told Shen Zhuohan that the Shen Family had left important things in the Void Palace and needed Duke to find them, even if retrieving him required a terrible sacrifice.

Han Su followed the Black Cat Duke into a sealed underground laboratory hidden beneath his family estate, where he found Ms. Shen’s old home and research records. Her logs revealed that she had studied the Divine Descent Plan and devised a replacement scheme involving Han Su, but the chapter ended just as she described beginning to test it on him.

• The Black Cat Duke guided Han Su through the estate’s hidden seal and led him to a room recreated from his childhood home in Azure Harbor.
• Han Su searched Ms. Shen’s laboratory and used the computer to open her work logs.
• The logs showed that Ms. Shen had studied the Grotesque Doctor’s Original Blueprint and concluded that the Divine Descent Plan could not be altered without collapsing.
• Ms. Shen recorded that the Black Cat Duke’s strange ability inspired her to consider creating replacements so Han Su could endure the plan’s costs without others discovering it.
• Han Su realized the scheme might explain his missing memories and the rewards he received for rescuing people from the Ancient Castle.
• A video showed Ms. Shen laughing as she said she had begun implementing her bold design on Han Su.

Han Su watched Ms. Shen’s logs and learned how she altered his mind to disrupt the Divine Descent Plan and help him resist becoming its inheritor. A masked man who resembled Han Su’s future self appeared in the past, and Black Cat Duke opened a passage to a secret chamber containing a crown.

• Han Su watched Ms. Shen condition him to believe he was the Emperor, resist others, and flee danger, and he connected her actions to several mysteries from the Ancient Castle.
• Han Su saw a masked man carrying a Briefcase visit Ms. Shen, tend to her, and declare that her chaotic plan would succeed because the Emperor existed.
• Han Su recognized the masked man as the person he had met in the abyss and suspected he had come from the future.
• Han Su asked Black Cat Duke whether it had also returned from the future, but it stayed silent and opened a door to a gloomy secret chamber.
• Black Cat Duke urged Han Su toward a crown displayed beneath glass in the chamber.

Han Su returned to Lakeside City with Shen Zhuohan and agreed to take part in a ritual meant to summon the Black Cat Duke. Before beginning, he secured the Old Ancestor’s oath to reveal what happened at the world conference twenty years earlier, and blood began flowing into the ritual as something inside the limousine reacted.

• Shen Zhuohan told his ancestor that Han Su was in Lakeside City, and the ancestor said only his chosen person could wear the Giant’s Crown while instructing Shen Zhuohan to persuade Han Su to help summon the Duke.
• Shen Zhuohan ordered his people to prepare Lakeside City’s defenses, while Han Su told his contact to stop watching the Mechanical Fragment and cooperate with his plans.
• Shen Zhuohan brought Han Su to his mother’s hidden room, where Han Su said he did not know the computer password and realized Shen Zhuohan had likely fabricated his story about receiving her letter.
• At the ritual site, Han Su asked the Old Ancestor whether he had attended the world conference twenty years earlier and demanded an oath in the name of Crimson to disclose everything discussed there.
• The Old Ancestor agreed and swore the oath with Han Su; Han Su then let the staff cut his palm so his blood could enter the ritual, while labored breathing came from the limousine.

Han Su’s blood ritual summoned the Black Cat Duke, but the Shen Family’s ancestor transformed into a giant monster and demanded the Giant’s Crown. Han Su threw the crown to the ancestor rather than wearing it himself, hoping to reveal why the relic had been calling to him.

• Han Su’s blood activated the ritual array, which summoned the bewildered Black Cat Duke as the Whale Clan members added their own blood.
• The Shen Family’s ancestor burst from the sedan in a mutated form, licked up the blood, and grew to nearly a hundred meters tall.
• The Red-robed Grand Sacrifices concluded that the ancestor had lost the ability to open the Giant’s Crown’s secret chamber and moved to intervene.
• Han Su realized the crown had seemed to seek him out and suspected the Grotesque Doctor feared something connected to it.
• Han Su removed his ring and threw it to the giant, where it transformed into the Giant’s Crown and expanded to a size he could wear.

Han Su took the Giant's Crown and used the Shen family ancestor’s own corruption to defeat him, then triggered the crown’s authority over the Shen bloodline. He ended the chapter recognized as the new Grand Duke and told Lu Neng that he had discovered what Grotesque Doctor feared.

• The Shen family ancestor tried to claim the Giant's Crown, but the two Red-robed Grand Sacrifices attacked him and shattered the ritual’s apparent reality.
• The Giant's Crown repeatedly flew toward Han Su, and he finally caught it and placed it on his head.
• Han Su revealed that the ancestor had absorbed White Corpse’s blood, then used the Copper Script Sequence to make the ancestor’s body collapse.
• Han Su summoned Ghost Truck and its ghost servants, disrupting the two Red-robed Grand Sacrifices as he moved into the ritual’s center.
• Han Su spoke the ancestor’s incantation, causing the Shen family members to submit to the crown’s authority and recognize him as Grand Duke.
• Han Su told Lu Neng to notify Miss Ai and the others that he had found what Grotesque Doctor feared.

Han Su seized control of the Whale Clan with the Giant’s Crown, then used the Shen family ancestor’s memories to uncover the Twelve Races’ plans for civilization’s restart. After learning that Song Chushi had found proof of the Emperor’s existence, Han Su committed to pursuing the Emperor Sequence and taking the Void Palace, while concealing that his own explanation was also a lie.

• Han Su ordered the Whale Clan’s leaders to hand over its assets and authority, investigate the Azure Harbor Monster Kidnapping Case, cooperate with Azure Harbor, and kill Shen Zhuohan; a Red-robed Grand Sacrifice killed Shen Zhuohan immediately.
• Han Su returned to Rose Manor with the Shen family ancestor and extracted his memories about the World Council meeting twenty years earlier, while the Red-robed Grand Sacrifices took control of the Whale Clan and Miss Ai infiltrated the city’s defenses.
• Miss Ai reported that the team possessed eight of the Twelve Races’ genetic sequences, that four remained, and that multiple disasters were reviving as the World Council prepared to convene.
• Han Su explained that the Twelve Races had planned to use the Divine Descent Plan and strengthen disasters against rival races, then suspected that another will might be controlling events behind the scenes.
• Han Su contacted Song Chushi, who revealed that he had found proof the Emperor once existed and a holy relic belonging to the Emperor Sequence.
• Han Su declared that the team would pursue the four remaining genetic sequences and take control of the Ancient Castle, or Void Palace, while privately acknowledging that his own account was also a lie.

Han Su tried fusing the Mysterious Powers of different sequences into his Golden Cells, discovering that scars and injuries from his repeated escapes from the Ancient Castle had preserved his connections to those powers. With help from Grotesque Doctor, his Golden Cell split for the sixth, seventh, and eighth times, and the divisions were still continuing.

• Han Su decided to test whether Pallor could reactivate his Golden Cells, and he cleared Rose Manor to conduct the dangerous experiment in isolation.
• Han Su drew Pallor into his Golden Cells, and Grotesque Doctor noticed the change and activated a Mechanical Fragment to help him.
• The scar from the Ancient Castle returned, allowing Pallor to fuse naturally with Han Su and reconnect the Giant's Crown to his will.
• Han Su fused Copper and Hellfire through scars left by past encounters, and his Golden Cell underwent its sixth division.
• Han Su summoned Abundance and recalled injuries from repeated escapes from the Ancient Castle, triggering his Golden Cell's seventh and eighth divisions as the process continued.

Han Su completed nine Golden Cell splits by fusing eleven anomalous powers, then left for the World Conference after warning the Whale Clan about the coming disaster and demanding answers about the Azure Harbor Kidnapping Case. As his aircraft departed, lightning destroyed it, leaving the Whale Clan fearing that Han Su and the Giant’s Crown were lost.

• Han Su healed his accumulated scars, withdrew his mutations, and explained that his Golden Cells had split nine times after absorbing eleven anomalous powers.
• Han Su told Miss Ai that he had not reached his limit, learned that the Mother of Machinery feared his aberrant nature, and decided to attend the World Conference without advance arrangements.
• Han Su assured the Whale Clan that the coming Civilization Restart would provide enough berths, mentioned the old ancestor’s plans involving the High Heaven Clan, and demanded an investigation into the Azure Harbor Kidnapping Case before boarding the aircraft.
• After Han Su left, a Red-robed Grand Sacrifice revealed that the old ancestor had secretly cursed the Mother Body Divine Tree on Insect Island, threatening the High Heaven Clan when its disaster spread.
• Dark clouds and lightning struck Han Su’s aircraft, tearing it apart as the Whale Clan watched and feared that Han Su and the Giant’s Crown had been destroyed.

Han Su survived an attack on his plane by using his fused powers and a Zero Sequence Cipher Incantation, then watched the Six Senses Rain spread across the world. As the Ten Great Disasters disrupted the nobles’ plans and left the World Guardians unable to coordinate a response, Han Su traveled between cities to investigate the disasters and help where he could.

• Han Su recognized the dark clouds surrounding his plane as a planned attack, and the Six Senses Rain began erasing his memories after the cabin was torn apart.
• Han Su concealed his memories with Knowledge Beasts, disintegrated himself with Dark State, and used [I Shall Enter the Abyss!] to vanish from the world as an observer.
• Han Su watched the Six Senses Rain spread toward Lakeside City and Industry City, devastating the Whale Clan and revealing that the calamity was intended to engulf the world.
• The World Conference collapsed as disasters and attacks struck the nobles, leaving the World Guardians unable to elect a High Priest or restart World Contract No. 02.
• Chaos Knights guarded cities while Han Su rode the Nightmare Horse through disaster-stricken regions, recording the Ten Great Disasters and occasionally rescuing people.

Han Su returned to Azure Harbor and revealed that the Emperor's Book could provide records on how earlier civilizations had fought the Ten Great Disasters. He organized investigators to gather samples and uncovered that the disasters had been countered before, leaving him to explain why the powerful had hidden those answers: they needed the tide to exist.

• Han Su returned to Qinggang, where Anwei explained that the Pale Hurricane was multiplying and that she expected him to reverse time to stop the disasters; he refused and showed her the Emperor's Book as their remaining option.
• Han Su asked Anwei to recruit investigators to collect disaster samples, gave her risk-reduction guidelines and the use of a Nightmare Horse, and Anwei posted the bounty through the Black Table.
• Lu Neng, Xu Ji, and Wei Lan responded to the bounty by organizing investigations, raising the reward, or entering a disaster zone themselves, while samples began arriving in Azure Harbor.
• Han Su opened the Emperor's Book in Rong Qiyue's laboratory and used the samples to reveal countermeasure records for the Ten Great Disasters.
• Han Su told Rong Qiyue, Anwei, and the others that past civilizations had found ways to fight the disasters, but powerful people had hidden the records because they needed the tide to exist.

Han Su translated the Emperor’s Book’s disaster-resistance records, inspiring cities to organize and resist the Tide while Wei Lan stopped the Goddess of Beauty disaster. As Qinggang’s report reshaped the world and the World Guardian Organization prepared to activate the Twelve Altars, Han Su gathered three missing gene sequences and turned to rescuing the children.

• Han Su explained that the Emperor’s Book contained ways to resist the Tide and argued that ordinary people could become the true force in the war against the nobles.
• Han Su transmitted the records to Rong Qiyue’s laboratory, where Rong organized researchers and experiments, while Anwei questioned who had hidden the information.
• Wei Lan entered the Goddess of Beauty disaster zone, treated a city, and was recognized as the first World Queen in a thousand years.
• The Qinggang Disaster Management Bureau published Han Su’s report on natural disasters and ways to resist them, prompting cities and Chaos Knights to begin self-rescue efforts.
• The Chief Priest’s inheritor decided the World Guardian Organization would replace fallen noble bloodlines and activate the Twelve Altars, which contained twelve sources of calamity.
• Lu Xiaoba returned to Qinggang City with the Superbody, Psionic Energy, and Dimension Worm gene sequences, and Han Su said the group would next rescue the remaining children.

Han Su set out for Zhendan City as the World Guardian Organization seized the Morgan Family and activated the Twelve Altars, easing the disasters and revealing a worldwide rune. Seeing the pattern, Han Su concluded that the ancient plan had gone wrong as he rode toward the city.

• Han Su mounted the Nightmare Horse and left Qinggang for Zhendan City, while the Qinggang Four Heavenly Kings chose to take on new responsibilities in the disaster response.
• Han Su visited Pot Lid Head, gave him the Emperor's Book, and learned from his reaction that Pot Lid Head had anticipated the war's course.
• The World Guardian Organization used the Morgan Family to replace the missing altar, captured its leaders, and took control of the eleven existing altars.
• The organization announced the cancellation of the Noah Plan and ordered Civilization Restart, then invoked a secret command to awaken the old gods.
• The twelve altars activated and resonated with the disasters, forming a vast rune across the world as Han Su traveled through the Abyss toward Zhendan City.
• Han Su recognized that the rune explained the plans of the Twelve Races, the World Guardian Organization, and Grotesque Doctor, and said the ancient game had gone wrong.

The World Guardian Organization activated the Twelve Altars to restart civilization and replace the ruling nobles, but Han Su confronted the Chief Priest’s secretary in Zhendan City. Han Su used the Emperor’s power to exploit a flaw in the ritual and move to seize the world altar, while Chao Xiaobei and several other altar cores began helping him.

• The Twelve Altars amplified the disasters and began destroying cities as the World Guardian Organization launched its civilization restart plan.
• The Chief Priest’s secretary explained that the plan would preserve civilization while replacing the nobles, and the Grand Dukes realized their power had collapsed.
• Han Su arrived in Zhendan City and demanded justice for the children affected by Azure Harbor’s monster Kidnapping Case.
• Han Su’s Ghost Truck turned two Red-robed Grand Sacrifices against the secretary, but the world ritual vaporized them and protected its officials.
• Han Su invoked the Emperor’s power to halt the flawed ritual, then charged into Zhendan City to seize the altar as the secretary forced the machinery to run.
• Chao Xiaobei awakened inside the Crimson Altar and joined several altar cores in resisting the restart and aiding Han Su.

Han Su seized control of the World Guardian Organization's world ritual, freeing the inheritors to turn the natural disasters against the noble bloodlines and using the ritual to recite the Cipher Incantation “All Nothing.” The world froze as eleven Knights appeared, and they told Han Su that each of them was the Emperor.

• Han Su captured and assimilated the chief sacrifice secretary, taking control of the world ritual as the Abyssal Creatures emerged to resist it.
• Chao Xiaobei used scarlet power to kill the priests guarding the altars, freeing the inheritors, who directed natural disasters against the noble bloodlines.
• Anwei activated the Bronze Script Altar, reconnecting the Twelve Altars and restoring the world ritual to a more perfect state.
• Han Su controlled the chief sacrifice secretary and recited “All Nothing” through the world ritual, but time and space froze before its effect became clear.
• Eleven colossal Knights appeared, and Han Su explained his theory that they used their bloodlines as anchor points to watch and influence repeated civilizations.
• The old man in white dismissed Han Su as short-sighted and declared that every one of the Knights was the Emperor.

Han Su learned that the Emperor, the knights, and the Reconstruction Era were fabricated as part of a scheme to keep the Mother of Machinery asleep, then exposed the Eternal Grand Duke hiding behind the Twelve Races. As the Grand Duke denied his claims, Grotesque Doctor announced that the Emperor existed—and that he had made him.

• The white-robed old man explained that the Mother of Machinery had gone mad, while the prehistoric knights had disguised themselves as her companions and built a false civilization to keep her asleep.
• The phantoms revealed that the Emperor, the knights, and the history of betrayal were invented to divert humanity’s curiosity and make ambitious people into targets for the Mother of Machinery’s hatred.
• Han Su learned that the twelfth genetic sequence, the Flesh Cluster, was a lie and that the Eternal Lineage consisted of projections, but he realized the beings before him had chosen the wrong opponent.
• Han Su used Zero Sequence Cipher Spell Number 05 to reveal the phantoms’ true form as a grotesque mass of flesh and accused the Eternal Grand Duke of hiding within reality out of fear.
• Han Su declared that the Emperor existed, and Grotesque Doctor’s voice came from the sealed underground space in Zhendan City, announcing that he had made the Emperor.

Grotesque Doctor and Wei Qiu revealed how the Twelve Races had hidden the Emperor Sequence and used civilization as a ranch, then sent the history of the Emperor to everyone in the world. As the world began to believe the Emperor had existed, the two conspirators confronted the terrified old gods with the possibility that belief could bring him into reality.

• Grotesque Doctor accused the flesh-mound beings of controlling civilization, suppressing rival lifeforms, and turning the Emperor Sequence into a trap.
• Wei Qiu appeared beside Grotesque Doctor in the consciousness hard drive, and the two worked together to send information beyond the frozen Time and Space.
• Grotesque Doctor forced the World Ritual to break the stasis and distributed an email worldwide describing the Emperor, the Twelve Knights, and the Emperor Sequence.
• People across the world read the email and learned that the Zero Sequence Cipher Incantation could unlock the Emperor Sequence.
• Wei Qiu explained that ordinary people would pursue the power of the Emperor, while Grotesque Doctor argued that worldwide belief could make the Emperor real.
• The eleven faces on the flesh mound denied that the Emperor existed and showed fear as Grotesque Doctor told them the world already believed.

Han Su returned to the Ancient Castle, where he and the children who remembered their past lives overpowered its monsters and prepared to inherit their powers. After learning that the Mother of Machinery needed a true Emperor to protect civilization, Han Su agreed to sign the No. 00 World Contract and become its guardian.

• The eleven Gods attacked Han Su while Mother of Machinery fought them, but Li Manman took control of the consciousness hard drive and helped defend the battlefield.
• Anwei, Han Su's allies, and a future version of Han Su arrived to confront the Gods; Han Su exchanged suitcases with his future self and returned to the Ancient Castle.
• Han Su found that Chao Xiaobei and many other children remembered their past lives, then protected Little Boy from the Pig Head Butcher's knife and defeated the Old Butler.
• Han Su suppressed the Ancient Castle's monsters with his Spell and led Chao Xiaobei upstairs to the surveillance room, where he found the No. 07 Mechanical Fragment.
• Li Manman explained that the Mother of Machinery needed a true Emperor to eliminate the Mutant Strains and protect civilization, and Han Su agreed to sign the No. 00 World Contract.
