Lin Qin and the other experts traveled to the South Sea entrance of the Graveyard of the Gods, where Beirut warned them about the deadly dangers within. After arriving at the enormous graveyard and learning that the Middlegod Ba Serpent guarded its first eleven floors, Lin Qin entered the higher floors while Linley and the other human Saints took a separate passage.

Lin Qin and the four God-level experts fought their way through the Thirteenth Floor’s bone corridor, defeating its powerful skeletons at great cost. With O'Brien and Catherine too injured to continue, the group rested before the Bone Gate, leaving the exploration of the Fourteenth Floor for later.

• The five experts entered the Thirteenth Floor and were attacked by Skeleton Warriors and three powerful divine beast skeletons.

• The five experts made camp before the Bone Gate to recover and prepare before entering the Fourteenth Floor.

Lin Qin spent years recovering and cultivating in the Graveyard of the Gods, fusing vibration and penetration into a powerful new technique while his original self trained and managed Dragon Rock Territory. After O'Brien and Catherine recovered enough to wake, the group prepared to face the Fourteenth Floor, leaving the still-weakened pair behind.

• Lin Qin studied his battle insights and gradually fused the Profound Mysteries of Pulsation and Point-Break, while his original self trained and oversaw Dragon Rock Territory.
• After years of cultivation, Lin Qin used his fused power to reduce a tough bone to dust and gained the confidence to face the Dark Gold Giant Ape Skeleton alone.

• Nearly nine years after entering the Thirteenth Floor, O'Brien and Catherine recovered enough to wake, though they remained weaker than before.
• O'Brien and Catherine asked Lin Qin, Dylan, and Cesar to proceed to the Fourteenth Floor without them, and the three prepared to approach the Bone Gate.

Lin Qin, Dylan, and Cesar opened the Bone Gate and entered the Fourteenth Floor, a shattered plane filled with chaotic energies and unstable terrain. After Lin Qin destroyed a powerful guardian with one punch, the group found a valuable dark-gold crystal and continued deeper into the island.

• Lin Qin, Dylan, and Cesar used objects from the Thirteenth Floor's guardians to open the Bone Gate and entered the Fourteenth Floor.
• The three explored a vast, shattered fragment of a plane where chaotic energy, spatial rifts, and unstable ground made every step dangerous.

• Lin Qin found a dark-gold crystal containing powerful earth, fire, penetration, and shattering energies, and the group continued toward the island's interior.

Lin Qin, Dylan, and Cesar discovered a platform holding three Middlegod Godheads and powerful artifacts, but twelve coordinated peak Lowgod Metal Puppets forced them to retreat. They escaped into the metal forest and resolved to recover before studying the platform and its defenses.

• Lin Qin, Dylan, and Cesar survived attacks from a Shadow Monster and a quicksand vortex while exploring the Fourteenth Floor.
• Dylan spotted a golden glow in a metal-pillar forest, where the three found a platform bearing Destruction, Earth, and Darkness Godheads and Middlegod-level artifacts.

• Lin Qin used powerful earth-infused punches to disrupt the first assault, creating an opening for Dylan and Cesar to retreat.
• The three escaped the puppets’ ranged attacks and decided to recover before investigating the guardians’ weaknesses and the platform’s barrier.

Lin Qin, Dylan, and Cesar destroyed three energy nodes and defeated the twelve Metal Puppets, but the battle left all three badly injured. As they approached the treasures, a powerful black spider emerged from a hole beneath the pedestals and confronted them.

• Lin Qin used his power to ease the foreign energy corroding Dylan's wounds, and the three planned to weaken the puppets by destroying their platform nodes.
• After observing the platform's energy cycle, Lin Qin drew the puppets' attacks while Dylan and Cesar targeted the nodes.

• A huge black spider crawled from beneath the pedestals, confronting the wounded trio with power beyond an ordinary Lowgod.

Lin Qin fused the Earth Profound Mysteries of Pulsation and Strength under the threat of Black Erosion, breaking through to become a Midgod and defeating the Spider Divine Beast. Black Erosion accepted his victory and granted the survivors access to the treasures and the secret of the passage to the Fifteenth Floor, while Lin Qin stabilized Dylan and Cesar.

• Cesar launched a desperate shadow attack to distract Black Erosion, and Lin Qin took its venomous strike meant for Cesar while Dylan's counterattack was crushed.

• Lin Qin used his new power to stabilize Dylan's injuries and preserve Cesar's life.

After breaking through to Midgod, Lin Qin helped Dylan and Cesar recover and divided the treasures among them. He learned that the Fifteenth Floor was built for Midgods and heard the Black Erosion Spider describe the Netherworld’s dangers, leaving him intent on exploring the next floor alone.

• Lin Qin stabilized Dylan and Cesar’s injuries while they recovered from the battle, then settled his new Midgod realm.

• Lin Qin left Dylan and Cesar behind and used a teleportation array to reach the Fifteenth Floor, a deathly primeval forest.

• Lin Qin transformed into a Dragonblood Warrior and killed more than twenty Leopard Cats, including two elders, with one punch.
• The dark golden Leopard Cat leader recognized Lin Qin’s unusual power, and Lin Qin challenged it to fight.

Lin Qin defeated the Dark Gold Leopard Cat leader with Void Breaker, then collected the tribe’s treasures and found three valuable Wind and Life leaves. After recovering in the clearing, he sensed more predators approaching and released his Midgod aura to warn them off.

• The Dark Gold Leopard Cat leader attacked Lin Qin, but he deflected its first strike and shattered its Wind Shadow Hijack with a shockwave.
• The leader opened its Soul-Devouring Wind Eye, but Lin Qin’s Void Breaker destroyed the black gust and killed it.
• The surviving Leopard Cats fled, and Lin Qin gathered the leader’s Godhead and materials along with the spoils from his earlier kills.
• Lin Qin searched the White Bone Nest, stored its trove of Godheads and materials, and took three leaves that radiated Wind Element energy and a rich aura of life.

Lin Qin defeated three mid-level opponents and fought his way through the Fifteenth Floor until he found the passage to the Sixteenth Floor, guarded by a powerful Flame Dragon. He wounded the guardian with his Prison Suppressor punch, and the battle was still underway.

• Lin Qin used War Stomp and Earth Pulsation to kill the Rock Giant Bear, then restrained and destroyed the Flame Vulture and Demonized Tree Demon.
• Over the following days, Lin Qin fought numerous creatures in the primordial forest, collected Godheads and treasures, and grew more skilled with his Fusion Profound Mystery.

• Lin Qin charged through the Flame Dragon's breath and struck it in the chest with Prison Suppressor, wounding the guardian and provoking its fury.

• The Flame Dragon wounded by Lin Qin unleashed its World-Burning Dragon Domain, trapping him in a field of searing heat and attacking him with Dragon Flame Law Threads.
• Lin Qin endured the Flame Dragon's relentless assault while studying how its wing runes connected its power to the earth.
• Lin Qin used Earth Veins—Return to Void Explosion to sever the Flame Dragon's connection to the earth and destabilize its domain.
• Lin Qin struck the critical node at the root of the Flame Dragon's third pair of wings with a Dark Singularity punch, shattering the domain and crippling the dragon.
• Lin Qin bound the weakened Flame Dragon with Earth Bind and dragged it into the Return to Void vortex, leaving behind its Godhead, scales, and broken wing bones.
• Lin Qin collapsed from his injuries, swallowed three Pale Cyan Leaves to sustain himself, and began healing instead of advancing toward the passage.

Lin Qin recovered from his battle with the Flame Dragon, claimed its hidden High-God Artifacts and Godheads, and returned from the Fifteenth Floor to reunite with Di Lin and Hise. After the five God-level experts waited for the Graveyard of the Gods to close, they escaped through the Gate of Space and returned to the South Sea.

• Lin Qin used the Pale Cyan Leaves and other resources to heal, then discovered a hidden cache containing two High-God Artifacts and five Midgod Godheads.
• After a month of recovery, Lin Qin traveled back through the Fourteenth Floor and reunited with Di Lin and Hise, who had both recovered and kept their Godheads unrefined.
• Lin Qin, Di Lin, and Hise returned to the Thirteenth Floor, where they joined War God O'Brien and High Priestess Catherine to await the Graveyard's exit.
• Nearly ten years after entering, the five God-level experts entered the Gate of Space when it opened and returned to the South Sea as the Graveyard disappeared.

After returning from the Graveyard of the Gods, Lin Qin refused to trade the Fire Element Intermediate Godhead to the War God without an equal offer and flew back to Dragon Rock Territory. He reunited with his original body, found his territory thriving, and rewarded Aileen with a rare crystal.

• Beirut ended the Graveyard of the Gods expedition, praised Linley and Olivier, and warned the Saint Realm experts that refining Godheads could limit their future paths.

• Lin Qin gave Aileen a crystal that could nourish the soul and purify magical energy for practitioners of life or wind magic.

Lin Qin agreed to help Linley kill the Grand Wizard and save Yale, then disguised himself and investigated the Grand Wizard’s hidden canyon base. He overheard the Grand Wizard and Beaumont discussing their bargain before the Grand Wizard sensed a presence nearby.

• Linley told Lin Qin that the Grand Wizard had enslaved Yale’s soul and was massacring people to make Soul Gold Beads, and asked for help killing him.

Lin Qin killed the Grand Wizard and severed the Soul Seeds controlling Yale, saving him from death. After collecting the Grand Wizard’s Soul Gold Beads and research materials, Lin Qin returned to Dragon Rock Castle, while Beaumont fled the ruined canyon in fear.

• Lin Qin confronted the Grand Wizard in the canyon and killed him with a single strike after suppressing him and the nine Silver-Robed Men.
• When the Grand Wizard died, his Soul Seed power vanished from Yale, who expelled black blood and began recovering at Dragonblood Castle.
• Linley and Reynolds cared for Yale as he regained consciousness, and Lin Qin later told Linley that the source of Yale’s Soul Seed had been removed.
