• The group camped at the mountain's foot and encountered ten players; Xiao Fan noticed that a woman among them tried to speak before the man beside her stopped her.

Xiao Fan and the others climbed toward Crystal Mist Peak to search for players who had gone ahead, but an extreme snowstorm stranded their group on the mountain. The Game System stopped working, leaving the five hundred players without their skills as the storm intensified.

• Luo Yi let ten players from Heavy Snow Gathering Point camp with his group, but they slipped away overnight to climb toward Crystal Mist Peak.
• After learning that the players had gone ahead, Luo Yi reported the situation to headquarters, and Xiao Fan’s group continued up the mountain to look for them.
• Xiao Fan and the others reached the summit, saw the eerie red glow of Crystal Mist Peak, and pressed on despite worsening weather.
• Snow and gale-force winds reduced visibility, so Ye Bugu, Uncle Justice, and Luo Yi agreed to stop and set up camp.
• The wind blew away many tents, and the Game System stopped responding; Ye Bugu warned everyone to stay together.

With the storm worsening and the players unable to use the game system, Xiao Fan tried to bring a house out of his Space Ring to shelter the group. He finally managed to place it among the players and entered, while Ye Bugu stayed behind to get everyone inside.

• Xiao Fan discovered that his tent had been blown away, but reassured Ye Bugu that his supplies were safe in his Space Ring.
• Xiao Fan told Ye Bugu to clear space so he could place his three-story house, and Ye Bugu organized nearby players into a circle.
• Xiao Fan struggled to summon the house because the space was too small as the wind grew stronger and players began losing their footing.
• The house suddenly appeared, blocking the wind, and Xiao Fan asked Ye Bugu to guide the players inside.
• Xiao Fan opened the front door and entered the lit house as nearby players stared in shock.

Xiao Fan sheltered five hundred players in a house during an unprecedented blizzard that trapped them on the Great Snow Mountain Range. After the survivors gathered inside and received food, an unexpected headcount of 502 left Xiao Fan and Luo Yi alarmed, and Luo Yi ordered everyone counted again.

• Xiao Fan discovered that the Game System was unreachable as players sought refuge from the blizzard in his house.
• Luo Yi and the front of the group learned there was shelter behind them and led the remaining players back toward the house.

• The leaders counted 143 people on the third floor, 162 on the second, and 197 on the first, making 502 in total.
• Xiao Fan feared that two people had appeared unexpectedly, and Luo Yi stopped the food distribution and ordered a recount.

After the players discovered two extra people among their 500, Xiao Fan grew increasingly afraid that something supernatural was happening. Ye Bugu vanished after a mysterious prompt tried to send him into a Dungeon Ghost Domain, and Xiao Fan found the other floors silent and his companions gone.

• Ye Bugu, Luo Yi, and Uncle Justice counted the floors and confirmed that the house held two more people than expected.
• The three leaders assigned their factions to search separate floors, while Xiao Fan worried that the intruders might be ghosts.
• Ye Bugu handed out all 150 Night Blade meals, then realized he had no dinner despite accounting for every faction member.
• A system prompt asked Ye Bugu to enter the Dungeon Ghost Domain, and he vanished after refusing it repeatedly.
• Xiao Fan went downstairs to find Ye Bugu and Uncle Justice, but heard no reply and discovered that the Night Blade players behind him had disappeared.

Xiao Fan discovered that the players upstairs had vanished while Luo Yi and the Military District players remained on the first floor. When Xiao Fan was pulled into the Non-Special Secret Realm Blue Star Game Invasion, he found himself in a young boy’s body and heard someone outside call him.

• Xiao Fan searched the house and found the second and third floors empty, then discovered Luo Yi and the Military District players still on the first floor.
• Xiao Fan told Luo Yi that the Night Blade and Justice Alliance players had disappeared, and Luo Yi suspected they had entered a secret realm.
• Luo Yi led the group upstairs to investigate, and the system prompted Xiao Fan to enter the Non-Special Secret Realm Blue Star Game Invasion.
• Xiao Fan refused the prompt, but the system connected him to the secret realm after receiving no response.
• Xiao Fan woke in a room in a young boy’s body, realized he had entered a story-based secret realm, and heard someone outside call him.

Xiao Fan realized he had entered a secret realm set during Cloud Sea’s invasion of Blue Star, on the day his parents planned to enter the game. After discovering that the secret realm’s version of events differed from his memories, he persuaded his parents to delay entering the game.

• Xiao Fan avoided eating while trying to understand why his parents, Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu, had called him to breakfast.
• Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu told Xiao Fan they planned to enter Cloud Sea because the game offered a chance to earn power and money.
• Xiao Fan recognized the setting as Blue Star during Cloud Sea’s invasion and remembered that his parents had died after entering the game.
• Yu Nianzhu said they had asked Aunt Liu to care for Xiao Fan, contradicting his memory that his uncle Xiao Yi had been entrusted with him.
• Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu insisted Xiao Jing had no younger brother, and Xiao Fan claimed someone posing as Xiao Yi had been visiting him.
• Xiao Jing agreed to postpone entering the game and stay with Xiao Fan while investigating the impostor.

Xiao Fan tried to make sense of the secret realm’s altered plot while accompanying Xiao Jing toward school, then spotted his young uncle Xiao Yi. After leaving school to investigate, Xiao Fan overheard Xiao Yi and a group of players discussing how they had been trapped in the realm, and Xiao Yi noticed someone hiding nearby.

• Xiao Fan wondered whether he could use his skill-creation ability to help Xiao Jing and his wife survive Cloud Sea, while questioning Luo Yi’s suspicious behavior and the disappearance of Night Blade and the Justice Alliance.
• Xiao Jing took Xiao Fan toward school and asked whether he supported his father entering the game; Xiao Fan urged him to prepare because Cloud Sea was dangerous.

• Xiao Fan overheard Xiao Yi and the others say they had failed to log out before a game update and had been trapped in the world for nearly a month.
• Xiao Yi sensed someone in the bushes and asked who was there.

Xiao Fan overheard Liu Xiujuan tell Xiao Yi and his team that they were trapped in the instance and might never return to Mercury. After they left, Xiao Fan questioned whether his memories of his aunt and uncle had been altered, but tried to convince himself the story was only part of the instance.

• Xiao Fan hid in the bushes as Xiao Yi confronted Liu Xiujuan, then recognized her as his aunt.
• Liu Xiujuan revealed that she was a player from Mercury who had been trapped in the instance for three months and said there was no way to clear it.
• Liu Xiujuan warned Xiao Yi's team that trapped players gradually forgot they had ever been players and became characters in the instance.
• Liu Xiujuan offered to share a possible way out if the team followed her, but Xiao Yi's squad chose to keep searching on their own.
• After the team left, Xiao Fan wondered whether the instance's story was true and feared that his memories of his aunt and uncle might have been altered.

Xiao Fan spent the school day pondering the invasions and how to escape the secret realm, while Luo Yi revealed why he had trapped players in the Ghost Domain Dungeon. After school, Xiao Fan returned home with Xiao Jing and unexpectedly saw Liu Xiujuan there.

• Xiao Fan went to class and considered the Mercury invasion, Liu Xiujuan's fate, and ways to leave the secret realm.
• On Snow Mountain, Luo Yi convinced the Military District players to keep sending people into the Ghost Domain so he could bring the version forward and return to Mercury.
• Luo Yi revealed that he had altered the Military District players' memories, used the Ghost Disk to activate the Ghost Domain Dungeon, and lured players there.
• Xiao Fan finished class and walked home with Xiao Jing.
• Aunt Liu introduced Liu Xiujuan to Xiao Jing as her distant niece.

Xiao Fan struggled to make sense of the instance’s altered version of his family and tried to stop Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu from entering Cloud Sea. After failing to find Xiao Yi for several days, he finally met him and offered a possible way out in exchange for information about Cloud Sea’s invasion of Mercury.

• Xiao Fan was confused that Liu Xiujuan, who had been Aunt Xiao in the story, was now Aunt Liu’s distant niece.
• Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu argued about whether Yu Nianzhu should remain in the Real World while Xiao Jing entered the game, and they both rejected Xiao Fan’s offer to join them.
• Xiao Fan repeatedly waited for Xiao Yi in the park, hoping to trade a way out of the instance for information about Cloud Sea’s invasion of Mercury.
• Xiao Yi and his group returned to the park because they could not find a way out and believed Liu Xiujuan might be their only hope.
• Xiao Fan approached Xiao Yi and offered to tell him a possible way out of the instance if Xiao Yi explained Cloud Sea’s invasion of Mercury.
• Xiao Yi began explaining that Cloud Sea’s invasion of Mercury had started fifteen years earlier.

Xiao Fan explained that Xiao Yi’s group might escape the secret realm by entering Cloud Sea there and logging out, though they would return to Blue Star rather than Mercury. Meanwhile, Luo Yi led his group toward Crystal Mist Peak as Jian Qingfeng arrived with high-level players to rescue Xiao Fan and the others.

• Xiao Yi told Xiao Fan that Cloud Sea’s invasion of Mercury had progressed through the Ghost Domain and Talent System before an update pulled his group into the secret realm.
• Xiao Fan told Xiao Yi that entering Cloud Sea in the secret realm might let the group log out to Blue Star, and he arranged to meet Xiao Yi again the next day.
• Xiao Fan hurried home after realizing Xiao Jing would discover that he had skipped school.
• Luo Yi decided to lead his group toward Crystal Mist Peak and planned to pull the rescuers into Ghost Domain when they arrived.
• Jian Qingfeng brought fifty high-level players to Snow Mountain to rescue the missing players, then ordered his team to climb.

Xiao Fan tried to persuade Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu to enter the game with a reliable team, but they mistook his claims about the future for an excuse. He introduced Xiao Jing to Xiao Yi’s group, promised to provide the Earth-Tier Skills they required, and they agreed to enter the game together in two days.

• Xiao Fan explained that he had skipped school to find teammates who could help his parents survive in the game.
• Xiao Fan told Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu he came from ten years in the future, but they thought he was pretending and insisted on entering the game for their family’s future.
• Xiao Fan brought Xiao Jing to meet Xiao Yi and his nine companions, who were also seeking teammates to enter the game.
• Xiao Yi said their team required an Earth-Tier Skill, and Xiao Fan agreed he could create one for each of his parents.
• Xiao Jing and Xiao Yi’s group agreed to enter the game together in two days.

Xiao Fan reassured Xiao Jing that the team would forget their Earth-Tier Skill demand after entering the game, while Jian Qingfeng’s rescue party searched the Snow Mountain for Xiao Fan’s missing group. They found the group’s empty house and unfinished food, leaving Jian Qingfeng’s team to suspect the players had vanished suddenly.

• Xiao Jing worried that Xiao Fan’s promise about an Earth-Tier Skill would provoke Xiao Yi and the others, but Xiao Fan said they would forget the demand after entering the game.
• Jian Qingfeng led his team up the Snow Mountain toward the strange red glow and warned them to stay cautious.
• Jian Qingfeng’s group found Xiao Fan’s prefab house and searched its floors, discovering traces that players had stayed there.
• Yu Tianqing guessed the missing group had taken shelter from a blizzard, while Jian Qingfeng suspected they had lost access to the Game System.
• A searcher reported that food upstairs had been left unfinished, suggesting Xiao Fan’s group had disappeared in the middle of eating.

Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu entered the game with Liu Xiujuan, leaving Xiao Fan behind as he wondered whether he needed to enter the game to escape the secret realm. Meanwhile, Jian Qingfeng’s rescue team investigated the house where Xiao Fan and the others had vanished, and a system prompt invited them to enter the Dungeon Ghost Domain.

• Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu set out to enter the game, while Xiao Fan stayed behind because he still had no secret realm quest notification.
• Aunt Liu asked Xiao Jing and Yu Nianzhu to take Liu Xiujuan with them, and they agreed to bring her to Xiao Yi’s team.
• Xiao Yi accepted Liu Xiujuan into the team, and Xiao Jing and his wife departed with them for the station.
• Jian Qingfeng’s team debated how Xiao Fan and the others had vanished, then discovered Jian Qingfeng could not open the game interface inside the house.
• A noise came from the supposedly empty upstairs, and as Jian Qingfeng ordered everyone to leave, a prompt asked whether they wanted to enter the Dungeon Ghost Domain.

Xiao Fan completed the Blue Star Game Invasion Secret Realm and received generous rewards for changing characters’ fates, the story, and game milestones. Back at his house on Snow Mountain, he discovered that Jian Qingfeng and his powerful rescue team had vanished inside it, so he decided to leave the mountain.

• Xiao Fan learned that the Secret Realm had ended and its settlement showed he had changed character fates by 98%, the story by 50%, and game milestones by 30%.
• Xiao Fan received Core Power, a Time Evolution Fragment, the Fate Reverser ability, crystals, and a Level 3 City Building Token.
• Xiao Fan returned to his house on Snow Mountain, found the game interface working again, and messaged the Fatty to confirm he was safe.
• Xiao Fan found Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng’s messages saying that Jian Qingfeng had brought a fifty-person team to Crystal Mist Peak to search for them.
• Xiao Fan stored his house and saw that Jian Qingfeng’s team’s footprints led inside but none led back out, so he headed down the mountain instead of returning to Crystal Mist Peak.

After escaping the secret realm, Xiao Fan told Zhou He about the strange disappearances on Snow Mountain and suspected Luo Yi was involved. He created the Heaven Rank skill Silent Shadow Escape and returned toward Luo Yi’s group while invisible.

• Xiao Fan told Zhou He how the blizzard had disabled the Game System, two extra people had appeared, and the other players had vanished.
• Xiao Fan revealed that he had entered and cleared a secret realm, while Zhou He confirmed Jian Qingfeng had also gone missing on the mountain.
• Xiao Fan suspected Luo Yi because he and the Military District group had remained in the house and Luo Yi had seemed unsurprised by Xiao Fan’s disappearance.
• Xiao Fan told Zhou He to wait at the foot of the mountain, then used his Disguiser trait and Oh My God title to create Silent Shadow Escape.
• Xiao Fan summoned Big Iron Pot to restore his stamina, activated Silent Shadow Escape, and headed back toward Luo Yi’s group.

Xiao Fan secretly overheard Luo Yi and Walker Li discussing how they had pulled Jian Qingfeng and others into the level 150 Ghost Domain Dungeon. He learned that Luo Yi’s group came from Mercury and that the events from Blue Star Game Invasion were real, leaving him shocked and certain the group was hiding more secrets.

• Xiao Fan followed the trail toward Crystal Mist Peak and found Luo Yi’s group gathered in a house.
• Xiao Fan overheard Luo Yi say the Military District would send people to rescue Jian Qingfeng, who had been pulled into a Dungeon.
• Walker Li revealed that the Dungeon was the level 150 Ghost Domain Dungeon and worried the rescuers were too weak to clear it.
• Luo Yi explained that they had pulled the players into the Dungeon because waiting for future game updates could leave them stranded for eight years.
• Xiao Fan realized Luo Yi and his group were players from Mercury, that the secret-realm events had been real, and that Luo Yi’s group had caused Jian Qingfeng’s disappearance.

Xiao Fan learned that Luo Yi’s group wanted to trigger the Ghost Domain update early so they could return to Mercury, while Jian Qingfeng and the others were trapped inside the dungeon. He and Zhou He considered how to obtain a walkthrough and rescue them, leaving Xiao Fan to try to get information from Luo Yi.

• Xiao Fan realized that clearing Ghost Domain was the only way to rescue Ye Bugu, Jian Qingfeng, and the others, and suspected Luo Yi’s group knew the dungeon’s details.
• Xiao Fan equipped the Lone Brave title and told Zhou He that Luo Yi was from Mercury and that the missing players had been pulled into Ghost Domain.
• Zhou He considered cooperating with Luo Yi’s group to get a walkthrough, rescue the trapped players, and deal with the early update afterward.
• Xiao Fan warned Zhou He that Luo Yi’s group was unlikely to trust them, but agreed they should try to get information from Luo Yi.

Xiao Fan used a false shared identity to befriend Luo Yi, who believed they were both players from Mercury and revealed how he had gathered followers. Xiao Fan then asked Luo Yi for a guide to the Ghost Domain Dungeon so he could return to his home planet.

• Xiao Fan sent Luo Yi a friend request, but Luo Yi worried that accepting it might expose him and Walker Li.
• Xiao Fan sent a second message claiming they were both from another planet with the same goal, and Luo Yi accepted the request.
• Luo Yi asked how Xiao Fan had recovered his memories, and they compared their experiences with the Island of Light Dungeon.
• Xiao Fan invented a story about learning the situation from Jian Qingfeng, and Luo Yi trusted his explanation.
• Luo Yi revealed that he had altered the memories of players who trusted him to gather his followers.
• Xiao Fan told Luo Yi that Zhou He had recruited him for the rescue mission and asked for a Ghost Domain Dungeon guide.

Xiao Fan learned about Ghost Domain Creatures and the Dungeon from Luo Yi, then prepared to join the people trapped inside. He examined his secret-realm rewards and wondered what his new special ability, Fate Defier, could do.

• Xiao Fan asked Luo Yi about the Ghost Domain update, and Luo Yi explained the traits and weaknesses of Spirit-Body and Soul-Body creatures.
• Luo Yi told Xiao Fan that players would unlock talents a week after the update and that the Dungeon offered three paths, with his planet having cleared the Path of Rebirth.
• Xiao Fan learned that player panels and skills did not work inside the Ghost Domain Dungeon, then told Luo Yi his group would arrive in three or four days.
• Xiao Fan decided to monitor Luo Yi while waiting for Zhou He and the others, and he inspected the Time Evolution Fragment and the Red Crystal and Blue Crystal.
• Xiao Fan discovered that he had received a special ability called Fate Defier and wondered what it did.
