Chen Lin warned Luo Qinglan that a powerful mirror image of her might be hiding in the Three-Jade Immortal Kingdom and arranged for her to learn the Mirror Image Fusion Method. After Luo Qinglan left to seek a Contract Cancellation Document from Xu Wuye, Chen Lin investigated Grass’s history with the Hundred Flowers Fairy and remained unable to contact Blind Girl or Fat Tiger; two visitors then arrived in his fiefdom.

• Chen Lin sealed himself and Luo Qinglan inside a Mysterious Stone hut and explained that nightmare realm mirror images could be complete projections of living beings.
• Chen Lin told Luo Qinglan that Bandit Leader Luo Qinglan in the Three-Jade Immortal Kingdom might be her mirror image, and said they needed a Contract Cancellation Document before he could teach her the Mirror Image Fusion Method.
• Luo Qinglan suggested asking Xu Wuye for the document in exchange for information about mirror images, and Chen Lin transferred Long Han’s Sub-Token to her before she left.
• Chen Lin asked Grass why the Hundred Flowers Fairy wanted him dead, but Grass could only warn that Bei Wumeng’s maidservant might have been one of her pawns.
• Chen Lin failed to summon Blind Girl and Fat Tiger, decided not to enter the troubled White Cloud Pasture, and then approved a Peerage Token request as two figures appeared.

Chen Lin met Xu Wuye in a time-space pagoda, received a scroll that erased his contracts, and shared the Mirror Image Fusion Method with her. After studying the method, Xu Wuye asked him to explain how to find his own mirror image.

• Xu Wuye invited Chen Lin and Luo Qinglan into a pagoda modeled after the Myriad Demon Pagoda and explained that its Tower Spirit could block outside eavesdropping.
• Xu Wuye gave Chen Lin a Contract Cancellation Scroll, and Chen Lin activated it to dissolve the contracts and oaths binding him.
• Chen Lin noticed the scroll's energy resembled Yang Zishi's Purification Light, but Xu Wuye said the White Jade Terrace made the scrolls itself.
• Chen Lin gave Xu Wuye an Inheritance Bead containing the Mirror Image Fusion Method and sent Luo Qinglan an inheritance of his cultivation insights.
• After studying the method, Xu Wuye asked Chen Lin how they could find their own mirror images.

Chen Lin traded the White Jade Terrace permission to explore Fairytale Town for access to the Drift Bottle Scenario, where drifting bottles could contain anything from deadly hazards to Golden Nightmare Coins. After reuniting with Luo Qinglan, he ended their brief respite to focus on learning the Fusion Method needed for mirror image fusion.

• Chen Lin told Xu Wuye that information about a mirror image could be obtained through the Outer Realm Battlefield by exchanging merit with a Nightmare Law Controller.
• Xu Wuye offered Chen Lin a medium for entering the Drift Bottle Scenario in exchange for permission for the White Jade Terrace to explore Fairytale Town.
• Xu Wuye explained that explorers had to retrieve and open a drifting bottle, whose contents could be dangerous or valuable, and warned that the departure mission had a high mortality rate.
• Xu Wuye gave Chen Lin a piece of yellow jade that served as an entry medium, warning him not to lose it or let unauthorized outsiders use it.
• After Xu Wuye left, Chen Lin reunited with Luo Qinglan for a few days, then turned his attention to learning the Fusion Method for mirror image fusion.

Chen Lin entered the Drift Bottle Scenario to find a safe place in the Reality Realm and explore its island. After a month of waiting, he spotted a patch of white light drifting toward him across the sea.

• Chen Lin chose an inn courtyard in Sanding City as a safe place for his physical body and summoned Grass to guard him before projecting into the Nightmare Realm.
• Chen Lin met Jin Zhentian, the White Jade Terrace expert stationed on the island, and received permission to move freely there.
• Chen Lin discovered that a barrier limited him to three feet beyond the island’s edge and found no Drifting Bottles during his initial search.
• Chen Lin tested his abilities and found that Death Gaze, inner star force, and soul force were unaffected by suppression, while law power remained heavily suppressed.
• After a month of watching the sea, Chen Lin spotted a patch of white light drifting toward the island.

Chen Lin watched Jin Zhentian collect and open a Drifting Bottle, learning that the golden scenario’s departure mission had to be completed every time someone entered and that collecting bottles was dangerous. The bottle’s blue-smoke figure asked Jin Zhentian a third question, leaving the answer—and the bottle’s consequences—unresolved.

• Chen Lin learned from Jin Zhentian that Drifting Bottles appeared periodically, but entrants had to complete the departure mission again on every visit.
• Chen Lin tried to use his destiny law to predict whether a bottle was dangerous, but it failed, so he watched Jin Zhentian instead of risking a grab.
• Jin Zhentian waited until a bottle crossed the barrier, snatched it, and opened it while Chen Lin kept his distance.
• A baby-faced figure emerged from the bottle and asked Jin Zhentian its name and age; he guessed incorrectly both times.
• The figure asked Jin Zhentian who was stronger, Sun Wukong or Erlang Shen.

Chen Lin escaped the Drifting Bottle Scenario after warning Jin Zhentian, who survived but lost his reward for changing his answer. Jin Zhentian sent Xu Wuye to compensate Chen Lin, who received three valuable items and remained in his fiefdom.

• Chen Lin vanished when Jin Zhentian began answering, and Jin changed his choice to Sun Wukong, prompting Baby Face to cancel his reward before disappearing.
• Chen Lin returned to his fiefdom and waited instead of returning to reality, hoping Jin Zhentian would repay his warning.
• Xu Wuye entered Chen Lin's fiefdom and gave him a Transmission Talisman from Jin Zhentian; she said Jin had received no reward after changing his answer.
• Chen Lin complained that saving Jin had cost him a Gold Grade Forced Crossing Scroll, and Xu Wuye presented him with a Golden-Winged Roc's natal feather, a soon-to-expire Level 4 Gold Road Guide, and an Invitation Letter to the White Jade Terrace.
• Before leaving, Xu Wuye asked Chen Lin how he had known the correct answer.

Chen Lin used the Fortunate Art to choose a Drifting Bottle after his destiny ability and Wish Noodles failed to affect the bottles. He opened it and found a letter, leaving its contents unknown.

• Chen Lin told Xu Wuye that the Drifting Bottle's question referred to characters from his fairy tale, and they speculated about the creature inside.
• Xu Wuye supplied Chen Lin with Prayer Grass and Endless Water so he could make Wish Noodles, taking a portion for herself.
• Chen Lin entered the Drift Bottle Scenario with Grass and found more than twenty bottles gathered near the island.
• Chen Lin's destiny ability and Wish Noodles could not affect the bottles, so he cast the Fortunate Art and used scattered stones to choose one.
• Chen Lin grabbed the bottle struck by the largest stone, opened it, and discovered a letter inside.

Chen Lin received a letter from Niuniu’s past self, warning him not to rescue her until he mastered eternal power and describing several treasures and abilities meant to help him. Unable to confirm the letter’s claims, he cautiously limited his connection with Niuniu before entering the Story Contest.

• Chen Lin used soul force to reveal a message written by a Colorful Feather, which said its writer expected to be imprisoned and warned him to sever ties until he mastered eternal power.
• The letter attributed to Niuniu’s past self listed seven treasures and cautioned Chen Lin against using a match before learning a secret method, then vanished with the Drifting Bottle.
• Chen Lin concluded the writer was likely Niuniu from the past, while Grass confirmed she could not see the letter.
• After searching the Elder Ancient Texts without finding information about the Rainbow Era, Chen Lin left Niuniu’s Talisman in his Fiefdom and disposed of her other items.
• Chen Lin had Grass stand guard and entered the Fairytale Town scenario for the Story Contest.

Chen Lin returned to Fairytale Town, learned that Lilia had upgraded her cottage using his eliminated Snow White story, and went to visit Anna. He entered Anna’s castle and was startled by what he saw inside.

• Chen Lin visited Barbara at the Big-Ear Rabbit’s Story Cottage and learned that his perfect rating had brought the cottage a surge of customers.
• Barbara told Chen Lin that Lilia had upgraded her cottage to five stars using his eliminated Snow White story, which she bought at auction and upgraded with an Evolution Document from Anna.
• Barbara gave Chen Lin an Invitation Letter, and Chen Lin left after deciding to visit Anna rather than risk running into Lilia.
• Chen Lin encountered Xu Daoling, who complained that Chen Lin had taken a Nightmare Spell from him, but Chen Lin denied owing him anything and continued on.
• Chen Lin reached Anna’s four-star Castle of Queen Anna and entered when the doors opened, then stared in astonishment at something hidden in the mist-filled room.

Chen Lin stopped Anna’s Nightmare Transformation with the last drop of her purification water, then learned that Nightmare Qi erosion leaves lasting mutations that can only be eliminated through fusion with a Nightmare Realm mirror image. He told Anna he had visited the Outer Realm Battlefield, but her hopes dimmed when he described its dangers, and he asked where she had obtained the water.

• Chen Lin found Anna transforming into a toad and poured the single drop in her White Bottle into her mouth, restoring her human form.
• Anna explained that Nightmare Qi erosion leaves hidden mutations that can later erupt, and that fusion with a Nightmare Realm mirror image removes the danger.
• Anna revealed that her purification water was losing effectiveness and feared she could not wait for Chen Lin to earn a hundred consecutive victories.
• Chen Lin told Anna he had visited the Outer Realm Battlefield but had not obtained the special reward needed for fusion.
• Chen Lin described powerful threats on the battlefield, including the Evil Vine and a creature that could swallow a plane, then asked where Anna had gotten her purification water.

Chen Lin learned about Anna’s origins and arranged for her to seek out Yang Zishi in the Lower Primal Domain in exchange for regular purification. Anna transferred her Four-Star Fairytale Cottage and other valuables to him before leaving, and Chen Lin considered how to manage his new Rainbow Castle.

• Anna told Chen Lin she came from the Celestial Book Realm, explained how nightmare erosion had damaged her, and said she wanted to leave Fairytale Town.
• Chen Lin told Anna about Yang Zishi’s purifying talent and the Primal Domain Rift, and Anna agreed to go to the Lower Primal Domain and find her.
• Chen Lin gave Anna portraits of Yang Zishi and his disciples, along with a token; Anna gave him her documents, medals, coins, and Four-Star Fairytale Cottage.
• Anna transferred the cottage to Chen Lin, renamed it Rainbow Castle, and had herself expelled from Fairytale Town.
• Xu Wuye asked to manage Rainbow Castle for the White Jade Terrace, and Chen Lin said he would decide after the Story Contest.
• Chen Lin inspected the castle and its story scenario, then returned to examine Anna’s gifts while waiting for customers.

Chen Lin attended the Story Contest and discovered the Golden Hook Casino, where tourists wagered years of their lives on the winner. His fate screen showed that the arrogant Heavenly Fire Evil God would definitely take first place, so Chen Lin decided to bet on him.

• Chen Lin rejected White Jade Terrace’s offer and kept the Four-Star Cottage because Rainbow Castle might be connected to Niuniu’s past.
• At the Grand Theater, Chen Lin failed to find Lord Xila and entered a tourists’ rest room, where the Heavenly Fire Evil God challenged him to the Story Contest.
• Chen Lin found the Golden Hook Casino taking bets on the contest, with each wager costing a year of the bettor’s life.
• Chen Lin used his fate screen and saw an intact thread indicating that the Heavenly Fire Evil God would win first place.
• Chen Lin decided to place bets on the Heavenly Fire Evil God, but stopped after a sudden thought occurred to him.

Chen Lin failed to directly alter the Heavenly Fire Evil God's fate, but his attempt was followed by the Evil God's destiny line breaking, giving Chen Lin a chance to bet on himself in the Golden Hook Casino. He placed a thousand stakes and waited for the contest to begin, though the Evil God showed no sign of trouble.

• Chen Lin's Blade of Destiny struck the Heavenly Fire Evil God's fate line, but shattered under a powerful backlash without changing it.
• A Seven-Color Dragonfly appeared on the Outer Realm Battlefield and disintegrated the fiery-red grand marshal after he killed a Black Giant Scorpion.
• The Heavenly Fire Evil God's fate line split where Chen Lin had struck it, and Chen Lin saw a hazy, apparently unbroken line for himself.
• Chen Lin learned that one year of his life was worth one point, then wagered a thousand stakes on himself taking first place.
• A ball-headed tourist mocked Chen Lin's chances, and Chen Lin left the Gambling Wheel to check on the Heavenly Fire Evil God before waiting for the contest.

Chen Lin used his Silence Technique during the Story Contest and watched the Heavenly Fire Evil God and many other contestants perform. He won first place again and received the contest’s richer rewards.

• Chen Lin decided to use the Silence Technique, spent a Refined Pure Origin Orb to confirm his prediction, and failed to manifest destiny lines for the Heavenly Fire Evil God, Lilia, or Bluwa.
• Lord Xila began the contest, and Chen Lin discreetly used the Silence Technique while the Heavenly Fire Evil God performed without drawing any reaction.
• Chen Lin listened as the contestants’ stories grew increasingly impressive and worried that his contest victories would become unreliable as Fairytale Town opened to more tourists.
• After more than ten days, Chen Lin told Journey to the West as the final contestant and detected no interference.
• Lord Xila announced Chen Lin as the first-place winner again, without inviting the Fairytale Sprite to present the rankings.

Chen Lin learned that Grand Marshal Jihuo had died in battle, upending the Story Contest and leaving the Heavenly Fire Evil God in last place. After claiming a Gold Level 3 Road Guide, Chen Lin watched the desperate Evil God try to pay his penalty and decide to sell his Celestial Fire Seed.

• Golden Dice objected to the results and invoked Grand Marshal Jihuo, but Lord Xila announced that Jihuo had died on the Outer Realm Battlefield.
• The White-Bearded Old Man and the Fair Kingdom Emissary Group prepared to leave, but the Fairytale Sprite appeared and ordered everyone to remain for the contest results.
• Chen Lin selected a Gold Level 3 Road Guide and handed his original guide to Grass.
• The Heavenly Fire Evil God came in last and could not pay his one-hundred-Golden-Nightmare-Coin penalty; Golden Dice denied their agreement and refused to lend him money.
• Lock Woman taunted the Heavenly Fire Evil God and suggested selling his Celestial Fire Seed, so he decided to offer it for sale.

Chen Lin bought the Heavenly Fire Evil God's Fire Seed after saving him from failing to pay his fine, then discovered that the mysterious bettor was not Xu Wuye. He traded documents with Xu Wuye for several valuable items and ended the chapter still wondering who had wagered on him.

• The Heavenly Fire Evil God lost control of his flames, but the Fairytale Sprite extinguished them and gave him seven and a half more minutes to pay his fine.
• Chen Lin spent fifty Golden Nightmare Coins to buy the Heavenly Fire Evil God's Fire Seed, allowing him to pay the fine and avoid punishment.
• Chen Lin asked Xu Wuye whether she had bet on him, but she said neither she nor anyone from the White Jade Terrace had attended the Story Contest.
• Xu Wuye asked Chen Lin to sell her a Construction Document after he refused to give up Fairytale Cottage, and they agreed to trade it and two Evolution Documents for several items, including an Elder Ancient lightning-attribute True Spirit Inner Core.
• Xu Wuye warned Chen Lin that she would keep her elder brother from clashing with him, then left after exchanging compliments.

Chen Lin investigated how to use his Golden Hook Casino chip and the Heavenly Fire Evil God's fire seed, gathering information from Barbara and paying Big Head Four for a detailed explanation. After a brief Story Scenario adventure, he returned to the Reality Realm because his unguarded physical body in Sanding City was at risk.

• Chen Lin examined his ten-thousand-point chip and tried activating the fire seed, but neither item responded as he expected.
• Chen Lin visited Barbara, sold her an Evolution Document, and learned that a fully gold chip could enter the Golden Hook Casino while points could be used by activating it.
• Barbara suggested that Big Head Four knew about fire, and Chen Lin learned that Lilia had told her about his bet and that the identity of the hundred-thousand-bet gambler remained unknown.
• Chen Lin paid Big Head Four five Gold Coins for a detailed explanation and method concerning the fire seed.
• Chen Lin completed a Gluttonous Xiaoqi Story Scenario adventure, left Grass to monitor Rainbow Castle, and returned to the Reality Realm to protect his unguarded body in Sanding City.

Chen Lin returned from the Nightmare Realm unharmed, checked on Scholar’s improved memory, and activated the Golden Hook Casino chip to inspect its treasures. He exchanged all 10,000 of his points for a Level 4 Gold Road Guide before it could become unavailable.

• Chen Lin decided he needed to leave the Soul-Severing Continent for the safer Wangxiang City after realizing his body was vulnerable while he projected into the Nightmare Realm.
• Scholar told Chen Lin that refining the Original Heart Fruit juice had restored some memories, but he could not read, so Chen Lin assigned Yang Wentai to teach him and Chen Tao.
• Chen Tao happily learned that Chen Lin planned to reunite her with her mother in Fairytale Town, while Yang Wentai reported that Zhou Jing wished to see Chen Lin.
• Chen Lin activated his bound Golden Hook Casino chip and discovered that its treasure catalog offered powerful items in exchange for points.
• Chen Lin found that a Level 4 Gold Road Guide cost 10,000 points and that peerage invitation letters could disappear from the catalog, so he exchanged all his points for the guide.

Chen Lin exchanged his points for a Level 4 Gold Road Guide and decided to use the Heavenly Fire Evil God's fire seed to improve his cultivation, while waiting for news and resolving matters before entering Fairytale Town. After a year, he demonstrated the power of his Golden-Winged Roc feather and summoned Zhou Jing, whose declining health left Chen Lin unable to help.

• Chen Lin exchanged his points for a Level 4 Gold Road Guide, then considered how to use the Heavenly Fire Evil God's fire seed without wasting the match reserved for his future Eternal Fire Seed.
• Chen Lin chose to seek a place of extreme fire to release the fire seed's origin essence and thought of Zhu Qingyan's offer to help him at Flame Mountain.
• Chen Lin stayed in his fief for a year, cultivated, watched the Female Bandit Chief's movements, and finished refining Jin Zhentian's Golden-Winged Roc Natal Feather.
• Chen Lin tested the feather near Sanding City, using its wind power to flatten a mountain summit, then went to the Kaiyuan Sect Branch and summoned Zhou Jing.
• Chen Lin learned that Zhou Jing had suffered a serious illness and that his vitality was rapidly fading, but told him he could do nothing to help.

Zhou Jing revealed that he had reincarnated from Primal Star, but Chen Lin could not help him overcome his spiritless constitution, and Zhou Jing died soon afterward. After visiting the Nanmen Lineage and returning to his fiefdom, Chen Lin learned from Xu Wuye that his companion was mutating inside the Nightmare Realm.

• Zhou Jing told Chen Lin about his past life on Primal Star and offered him books describing advanced mechanical technology.
• Chen Lin accepted Zhou Jing's books and offered to grant him one request, but Zhou Jing declined and left without hope.
• A maid reported that Zhou Jing had died, and Chen Lin buried him behind the mountain gate.
• Chen Lin visited the Nanmen Lineage, asked Nanmen Lingyue to watch for a chest among the Ocean Floor Ruins treasures, and then returned to his fiefdom.
• Xu Wuye warned Chen Lin that his companion's body was mutating in the Nightmare Realm's Immortal Kingdom Scenario, and that her head had become that of a black great bird.

Chen Lin learned that Luo Qinglan had vanished during a Nightmare Transformation and entered the Immortal Kingdom Scenario with Xu Wuye to investigate. He found her transformed into a flaming great bird that destroyed Changqing Prefecture, but a feather she deliberately left behind suggested her consciousness remained and she was trying to communicate.

• Xu Wuye told Chen Lin that Luo Qinglan had vanished halfway through her Nightmare Transformation and warned that the Female Bandit Chief might have devoured her in reverse.
• Chen Lin asked Xu Wuye to bring Luo Qinglan’s transformed body to his fiefdom, but she returned empty-handed and reported that Luo Qinglan had disappeared.
• Chen Lin and Xu Wuye entered the Immortal Kingdom Scenario and found Changqing Prefecture breached and engulfed in battle.
• A flaming great bird that Chen Lin recognized as Luo Qinglan’s true form swept across the city, and Xu Wuye pulled him to safety as the flames destroyed Changqing Prefecture.
• Back in his fiefdom, Chen Lin found a fiery-red feather and concluded that Luo Qinglan had left it to signal that her consciousness remained.

After Luo Qinglan’s feather left Chen Lin uncertain about her message, he found that the Immortal Kingdom Scenario had become unreachable and resolved to focus on cultivation. He returned to Wangxiang City, settled affairs in his sect, and entered his fiefdom for secluded cultivation.

• Chen Lin discovered that the Immortal Kingdom Scenario could no longer be reached through any Medium Object and spent three days reflecting before deciding that only greater strength could free him and protect his family.
• Chen Lin appointed a sect leader, gave Yang Wentai an elder’s position, distributed resources, and left the headquarters to seek a safer place to cultivate.
• Chen Lin returned to Wangxiang City, warned Long Han not to mistake authority for strength, and learned that the sect’s communications channel with Myriad Forms City was operational.
• Chen Lin sent Leng Yue a Gold-Spotted Fruit tree branch and a message, transferred Luo Qinglan’s Sub-Token binding to Long Han, and told Long Han to let Xue Yinping decide whether to stay.
• Chen Lin asked Xu Wuye to investigate Princess Qinghua’s disappearance, left the search for Yang Zishi and Chen Ling’er to Anna, and entered his fiefdom.

After two centuries of cultivation in his fiefdom, Chen Lin advanced his cultivation, strengthened several abilities, and condensed his Second Star. As he prepared to leave seclusion to seek the resources needed for further progress, he discovered the key to the Demon-Refining Chapter’s Treasure Chest and began studying the newly revealed technique.

• Chen Lin emerged from a century of seclusion at the Kaiyuan Sect, underwent his Dao Integration tribulation, and instructed Long Han to continue searching for Anna, Yang Zishi and the others, and Huangfu Qingrou.
• Long Han told Chen Lin that Xue Ding'e had disappeared in the Soul-Severing Sea and that his Soul Lamp had gone out, so Chen Lin allowed Xue Yinping to travel to Myriad Forms City and asked Leng Yue to look after her.
• Chen Lin spent two centuries cultivating in his fiefdom, condensed his Second Star, reached Dao Integration Realm perfection, refined the Light of the Time Law, and improved his Silence Technique.
• Chen Lin decided to leave seclusion because he needed outside resources to condense the Second Star’s Star Core and advance his cultivation, then found an overlooked box beneath his Mysterious Stones.
• Chen Lin discovered that the box held the key to Treasure Chest Number Two, opened it, and revealed the Demon-Refining Chapter of Seven-Star Shining Sun.

Chen Lin examined the chest’s strange statue, inheritance, map, broken saber, and black orb, discovering links between Mo Qingtong’s Family and Luo Monsters and gaining a powerful weapon. After mastering the Demon-Refining Chapter, he left seclusion, prepared Long Han and Aisa for his absence, and departed to travel as his first millennial tribulation approached.

• Chen Lin found that the statue’s single eye resembled both the portrait from Mo Qingtong’s Family’s Secret Realm and Xiao Luo, while the Bamboo Slip contained a Pupil Technique he could not use.
• Chen Lin recognized the broken saber as being made from Luo Weapon material and discovered it could unleash a powerful Flaming Giant Tiger by consuming his inner star force.
• Chen Lin failed to activate the black orb, then spent more than half a year mastering the Demon-Refining Chapter before leaving his Fiefdom.
• Chen Lin rebuked Long Han for neglecting cultivation and promised to ask Senior Qing Zhe for a treasure to help him break through.
• Chen Lin refused Aisa’s request to travel with him, and she chose to stay in his Fiefdom.
• Chen Lin learned about events in the sect, then departed quietly to travel and prepare for his approaching millennial tribulation.

Chen Lin successfully endured the Great Vehicle Heavenly Tribulation, but a golden Devouring Heaven Beast interrupted his Inner Demon Tribulation. After driving it back, he vanished through a void rift before a mysterious woman could approach him.

• Chen Lin used the Tribulation Platform and his inner star force to survive all nine lightning strikes, temper his body, and comprehend the Thunder Law.
• As Chen Lin prepared to face the Inner Demon Tribulation, his talent ability warned him of danger, and a golden Devouring Heaven Beast emerged from a rift.
• Chen Lin used Death Gaze and the Silence Technique to disrupt the beast, then struck it with his broken saber and sent it retreating into the rift.
• A Golden-Robed Man and a mysterious woman watched Chen Lin's fight, and the man left the woman to learn about him.
• Chen Lin tore open the void and disappeared before the woman could speak with him.
