Chapter Summaries

Lan Feifei revealed that the Triangle Auction House’s final item was a Resurrection Art clue, priced at five Heaven-Tier Skill Books, and Xiao Fan won it from his private room. After the other guests left, Lan Feifei escorted him out and offered to buy any more Heaven-Tier Skill Books he had.

• Lan Feifei announced that the final auction item was the Resurrection Art clue, which the Dragon Nation government had agreed to trade for five Heaven-Tier Skill Books.
• The audience realized they could not match the agreed price, and the light in Xiao Fan’s Private Room 211 came on as he bid.
• Lan Feifei confirmed Xiao Fan had won the clue and recognized him as a Potential Ranking genius and the owner of the God-Tier Skill.
• Xiao Fan waited until the auction hall had emptied, then followed Lan Feifei out under the auction house’s safety precautions.
• Lan Feifei offered to buy any additional Heaven-Tier Skill Books Xiao Fan wanted to sell.

Xiao Fan traded five Heaven-Tier Skill books to Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng for the Resurrection Art clue, then flew with them and Qin Muyu back to Dragon City. Lan Feifei and foreign factions began investigating the disguised trader, while Xiao Fan remained unaware of the growing attention.

• Xiao Fan exchanged five Heaven-Tier Skill books for the Resurrection Art clue with Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng.

• Xiao Fan, Qin Muyu, Zhou He, and Jian Qingfeng left the hotel through a secret passage and boarded Zhou He's private plane.
• Lan Feifei learned Xiao Fan had left with Zhou He and ordered her agents in the Dragon Nation to investigate him without acting rashly.

• Xiao Fan arrived safely in Dragon City without knowing that factions were searching for him.

Xiao Fan returned to Sea City, arranged a possible trade with Ye Changge for the mysterious bird model, and began the quest to create the Resurrection Art. The qualification quest started with several requirements Xiao Fan had already met, but he still needed to hand in a Life Crystal.

• Xiao Fan evaded the people watching him by changing back from his disguise at a Dragon City morning market, then returned to Sea City and contacted the seller of the Phoenix model.
• Ye Changge accepted Xiao Fan’s offer to trade a Heaven-Tier Skill book for the model and shared his game ID, Taichu, without realizing Xiao Fan was the person he had met while disguised.
• Xiao Fan paid ten million Core Power to enter Novice Village, Zone 18, and used the clue to accept the quest to qualify to create the Resurrection Art.
• Xiao Fan checked the quest requirements and found that he had already reached level 10 and possessed the required Evolution Fragment.
• Xiao Fan saw that the next requirement was to hand in one Life Crystal, which he already had.

Xiao Fan examined the ten prerequisites for obtaining Resurrection Art and found that most would be difficult to complete, while he considered asking Jian Qingfeng to reach Level 100. Meanwhile, Jian Qingfeng and Zhou He verified the five Heaven-Tier Skill Books from Taichu and noticed that their skills felt suspiciously like Xiao Fan’s work.

• Xiao Fan submitted a Life Crystal to complete the third prerequisite, then considered whether Taichu’s Phoenix model might be a Spirit or God Beast Soul Stone.
• Xiao Fan reviewed the remaining prerequisites, including Sands of Time, the Heart of Myriad Phenomena, Evolution Fragments, Healing Evolution, Reputation Value, and a server player reaching Level 100.
• Xiao Fan decided to ask Jian Qingfeng to reach Level 100, but when Jian Qingfeng did not reply, he turned to creating skill books for Jian Qingfeng and Taichu.
• Zhou He and Jian Qingfeng entered the game with five Heaven-Tier Skill Books and confirmed their ranks.
• Jian Qingfeng examined the skill books and told Zhou He that the skills were powerful but felt like Xiao Fan’s style.

Xiao Fan discovered that Taichu’s mysterious item was a Phoenix Soul Stone and confirmed the trade, though they still needed to arrange how to exchange it. The chapter left Xiao Fan holding to his promise while Taichu worried he might back out.

• Jian Qingfeng and Zhou He noticed that Taichu’s five skill books matched Xiao Fan’s skill-creation style, and Zhou He ruled out the two knowing each other.
• Xiao Fan created a Heaven-Tier Skill book overnight, while Taichu accepted his friend request using his own game data.
• Ye Changge sent Xiao Fan the details of the mysterious Phoenix model and explained that appraisal attempts were limited.
• Xiao Fan told Ye Changge to appraise it as a Phoenix Soul Stone, and the appraisal succeeded, revealing it contained a fragment of the Phoenix’s soul.
• Xiao Fan confirmed he would honor the trade, and Taichu said they could exchange the item another way instead of waiting for the Triangle Auction House.

Xiao Fan learned that the Novice Competition at the Myriad Phenomena Platform would take place next month and sought information about the Heart of Myriad Phenomena. He gathered Zone 18’s players to select contestants and left Blade Shadow explaining the competition to the newcomers.

• Xiao Fan agreed with Ye Changge to trade at the Myriad Phenomena Platform during next month’s competition.
• Qin Muyu told Xiao Fan that each zone could send ten players to the nine-floor tower, where contestants had 48 hours to climb as high as they could.
• Qin Muyu said nobody had reached beyond the fifth floor, and Xiao Fan guessed the Heart of Myriad Phenomena might be higher up.
• Xiao Fan and Qin Muyu gathered Zone 18’s players to choose contestants based on strength.
• Blade Shadow remembered the competition and began explaining it to Fatty and the other new players.

Xiao Fan settled Zone 18’s roster for the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition, accepting that only seven people would participate after the others refused. He leveled up to 19 to prepare for the contest and contacted Jian Qingfeng about another matter.

• The fat man and the four members of Garfield Without Fat agreed to compete, while Mom Is Not Home and the other newcomers asked to sit out.
• Blade Shadow warned Xiao Fan that contestants could die in the Myriad Phenomena Tower, and Xiao Fan decided the seven willing competitors would go without forcing anyone else.
• Xiao Fan offered Earth-Tier Skill books at cost, prompting the fat man and the others to head out hunting for funds.
• Xiao Fan bought Core Power to reach level 19 and kept 45 Free Attribute Points unassigned for the competition.
• Jian Qingfeng replied to Xiao Fan and asked whether the Heaven-Tier Skill book was ready, before Xiao Fan explained he had contacted him about something else.

Xiao Fan told Jian Qingfeng that Cloud Sea unlocked content through player achievements and suggested how to find Evolution Fragments, hoping to help Jian reach level 100 and advance his own tasks. Jian learned he needed to complete ten tasks to keep leveling, but he was still stuck on his first one.

• Xiao Fan asked Jian Qingfeng about reaching level 100, and Jian said he lacked two Heaven-Tier Skill books before joking that he could reach the level any time.
• Xiao Fan proposed that Cloud Sea unlocked new content after server achievements, and Jian recognized that past changes had followed major player accomplishments.
• Jian thanked Xiao Fan and explained that players could no longer use Core Power to buy experience after level 99.
• Jian told Xiao Fan that ten tasks were required to qualify for further leveling and that his first task was to fuse an Evolution Fragment.
• Xiao Fan advised Jian that Evolution Fragments could drop from unusual Bosses and secret realms, and Jian asked about his remaining tasks.

Xiao Fan and Blade Shadow entered the secret realm called Cyberpunk City, only to find themselves in an endless desert. A warning identified Xiao Fan as a Complete Human and ordered the Cleaners to eliminate him, leaving the group preparing for a fight.

• Xiao Fan asked Jian Qingfeng about the Sands of Time and the Heart of Myriad Phenomena, but Jian Qingfeng had never heard of them.
• Xiao Fan continued preparing to climb the Myriad Phenomena Tower and planned to explore the uncharted areas of Zone 18.
• Blade Shadow told Xiao Fan that the group had found a new secret realm, and Xiao Fan hurried to its location.
• Xiao Fan discovered that the secret realm Cyberpunk City had no level requirement and led the group inside.
• Xiao Fan and his teammates arrived in an endless desert, where a warning labeled Xiao Fan a Complete Human and ordered the Cleaners to eliminate him.

Xiao Fan and his team fought eight Cleaner Robots whose armor resisted ordinary weapons, then discovered that attacking their systems could disable them. After the robots self-destructed, another group emerged from underground.

• Xiao Fan warned the team that monsters were moving beneath the ground, and eight level 15 Cleaner Robots burst out of the sand.
• Blade Shadow struck a Cleaner Robot with his broadsword but dealt only one damage, while the robots scanned the group and began a Cleaning Mission.
• Xiao Fan ordered everyone to run as the robots attacked with lightning and grappling claws, then transformed their legs into wheels and chased them.
• Xiao Fan used Moon-Like Rotation to attack three robots and disrupt their systems, causing all eight Cleaner Robots to freeze and self-destruct.
• Xiao Fan healed the player caught in the blast and concluded that attacking the robots' systems was the way to defeat them.
• Another group of Cleaner Robots emerged from underground and announced that they would eliminate the humans.

Xiao Fan and the other players faced the Mechanical Overlord, a Level 15 boss immune to physical damage, and fled toward a crater after a girl in a yellow hat called them over. Xiao Fan jumped into the crater and discovered another person waiting below.

• After Xiao Fan cleared the eighth wave of robots, the Mechanical Overlord erupted from the ground and identified the group as targets.
• The Overlord scanned the players and attacked with lasers, while Xiao Fan shielded the group and found that the boss was immune to the Archer's physical attack.
• Xiao Fan damaged the Overlord with Sun and Moon Rotation, but he and Blade Shadow realized they could not leave combat or defeat the boss easily.
• A girl in a yellow hat called the players to the crater, warning that they could not beat the Overlord and that the yellow sand would close.
• As the Overlord opened gun barrels in its chest and fired, Xiao Fan led the others toward the crater and jumped inside, where he saw another person.

Xiao Fan and his teammates escaped the Mechanical Overlord with help from Shasha and Dingding, then followed them through underground tunnels toward a Safe Zone. Xiao Fan posed as a time traveler from the future, while Shasha explained that the AI mastermind Yuan Yi hunted Complete Humans.

• Shasha and Dingding opened a passage beneath the group, and Xiao Fan led his teammates inside as the Mechanical Overlord pursued them.
• In the underground railway tunnels, Xiao Fan introduced himself and his teammates as Space-Time Travelers from five hundred years in the future.
• Shasha and Dingding led the group toward a Safe Zone and warned them not to take a train because Yuan Yi could track them and send Captors after them.
• Shasha explained that Yuan Yi was an Artificial Intelligence Mastermind whose influence covered half the planet and who sought to wipe out Complete Humans.
• Xiao Fan and the others learned that the tunnels offered no sure safety from Yuan Yi, though they made escape easier than traveling by train.

Xiao Fan and his companions entered Yuan Yi’s Underground City disguised in Smart Soft Armor after learning they could not leave the secret realm without finding three Sands of Time or clearing it. They rode an elevator to Floor -200, where five Patrol Guards suddenly turned back to look at them.

• Shasha and Dingding gave Xiao Fan and the others silver suits and helmets to conceal them from Yuan Yi as they crossed its Underground City.
• Brave Ox Ox revealed that the players could not leave the secret realm until they found three Sands of Time or cleared it, and Xiao Fan decided to continue.
• Xiao Fan told the group to change, and Shasha silently realized they were also seeking the Sands of Space-Time.
• Shasha gave the players a Weapon Album to store their weapons, then warned them not to speak because Yuan Yi could detect them.
• Shasha led the group into an elevator descending to Floor -200, where five Patrol Guards boarded and later stepped out.
• As the group stayed inside the elevator, the five Patrol Guards turned around and looked back at them.

Xiao Fan and his companions followed Shasha through the Underground City and escaped into the Safe Zone after Dingding drew the patrol units away. They reached Dr. Ai’s shabby laboratory, where a checkpoint identified them as Complete Humans.

• Shasha led Xiao Fan and the others through the Underground City, using her device to open a concealed door and guiding them past patrol scans.
• When Yuan Yi detected a Complete Human and ordered the patrol units to attack, Dingding lured them away so the group could reach the city gate.
• Blade Shadow’s concern about Dingding alerted Yuan Yi, who began closing the gate; Shasha and Xiao Fan fought through the patrol units, and the group escaped before it shut.
• Shasha reassured Xiao Fan that Dingding would be fine and led the group beneath a cliff, explaining that the area below lay beyond Yuan Yi’s perception.
• Xiao Fan saw the harsh conditions and few inhabitants in the Safe Zone as Shasha brought them to Dr. Ai’s dilapidated laboratory.
• At the laboratory entrance, a checkpoint detected no God Demon Stone and identified Xiao Fan as a Complete Human.

Xiao Fan learned how the war between humanity, Yuan Yi's robots, and God Demon Humans had ruined the world, then overheard Shasha and Dr. Ai discussing the Sands of Time and their plans for the visitors. He confronted Dr. Ai by asking where to find the Sands of Time, still unsure what Shasha and Dr. Ai were.

• Xiao Fan read Dr. Ai's history books and learned that Yuan Yi had rebelled against humanity and that God Demon Stones had enabled humans to fight back at the cost of their emotions.
• Xiao Fan discovered that robots, God Demon Humans, and Complete Humans now struggled to survive in a ruined, sand-covered world.
• Xiao Fan realized that God Demon Stones embedded in weapons could help defeat the Mechanical Overlord and went downstairs to ask Dr. Ai for one.
• Xiao Fan overheard Shasha tell Dr. Ai that they should use the visitors to find the Sands of Time, then take the Sands from them.
• Dr. Ai called Xiao Fan and his companions pure-blooded humans, leaving Xiao Fan to question what Shasha and Dr. Ai were.
• Xiao Fan went downstairs and asked Dr. Ai where they could find the Sands of Time needed to return to their own space-time.

Xiao Fan learned that he needed Sands of Space-Time from three creatures with time energy, then traveled with his group to God Demon City to confront the God Demon Guardian. The fight began outside the city gate, while Shasha went to steal God Demon Stones.

• Dr. Ai told Xiao Fan that defeating creatures with time energy could yield Sands of Space-Time and identified the Mechanical Overlord and the God Demon Guardian as two of them.
• Xiao Fan agreed to go to God Demon City, and Dr. Ai arranged for Shasha to guide the group there.
• Shasha explained that the group should draw the God Demon Guardian away from the gate, then split off to steal God Demon Stones while Xiao Fan and the others attacked.
• Xiao Fan's group found the level 15 God Demon Guardian outside the city and drew him toward them with a ranged attack.
• Blade Shadow used Piercing Leap Strike on the charging Guardian, and the group joined the fight.

Xiao Fan and his team killed the God Demon Guardian and obtained the Sands of Time, but the Guardian summoned level-50 God Demon Soldiers. Xiao Fan and Shasha escaped through the portal just before the soldiers arrived, while the soldiers discovered they could not follow anyone with a socketed God Demon Stone.

• Xiao Fan noticed the God Demon Guardian fire a flare and urged everyone to use their burst damage, and the team killed the Boss and obtained the Sands of Time.
• The God Demon City alarm sounded, and level-50 God Demon Soldiers rushed toward Xiao Fan and his team.
• Xiao Fan waited for Shasha while Blade Shadow and the others urged him to leave, then told them to enter the portal when Shasha returned.
• Xiao Fan slowed two pursuing God Demon Soldiers with Sun and Moon Rotation, and he pulled Shasha through the portal just before they caught up.
• The God Demon Soldiers discovered that players with socketed God Demon Stones could not pass through the portal and ordered their men to guard it.
• On the other side, Xiao Fan reflected that the instance seemed like a real world, and someone asked whether he had obtained the Sands of Time.

Xiao Fan and the others embedded God Demon Stones in their weapons, then defeated the Mechanical Overlord and claimed the Sands of Space-Time. They escaped the Dominator through the pipes, while Xiao Fan suspected Shasha’s Replica was about to turn evil.

• Shasha showed the God Demon Stones to the group and explained how to embed them in weapons.
• Blade Shadow embedded a stone in his sword, and the others followed before setting out to fight the Mechanical Overlord.
• Shasha led Xiao Fan and the others through the pipes to the surface, where they defeated the Cleaning Robots with their enhanced weapons.
• Xiao Fan directed the team’s attack on the Mechanical Overlord, and they defeated it and took the Sands of Space-Time.
• Yuan Yi summoned the Dominator, so Xiao Fan and the others fled through the pipes with Shasha and escaped the Underground City.
• Xiao Fan noticed a glint in Shasha’s eyes and wondered whether her Replica was about to turn evil.

Xiao Fan and his team cleared Cyberpunk City Part One, learning that Dr. Ai and the other Replicas had lived to restore the world with the Sands of Time. After Dr. Ai died and Xiao Fan collected his Sand, the team was ejected from the Secret Realm and found its entrance gone, leaving Cyberpunk City Part Two for a later time.

• Xiao Fan asked Dr. Ai who held the third source of time energy, and Dr. Ai explained that the Replicas had been created to gather the Sands of Time and restore the world.
• Dr. Ai admitted he feared dying after the next clone failed, but said he would not fight Xiao Fan for the Sands because their arrival proved the Replicas had won in the future.
• Dr. Ai died while longing to see the planet as it had been three hundred years earlier, and Xiao Fan picked up the Sand of Space-Time he left behind.
• The system announced that Xiao Fan's team had cleared Cyberpunk City Part One and awarded them Core Power, three Sands of Time, and Evolution Fragments.
• Xiao Fan checked the resurrection quest and saw that he needed to clear one more Secret Realm that dropped Evolution Fragments.
• Blade Shadow and the others discovered the Secret Realm entrance had vanished, and Xiao Fan suggested they might need to reach level 50 to find Part Two before leading the team back to the village.

Xiao Fan completed another resurrection quest requirement and prepared to enter the Myriad Phenomena Platform competition, where he hoped to obtain the Heart of Myriad Phenomena. At the platform, he recognized Taichu as someone whose appearance he had once copied, then approached him to make their trade.

• Xiao Fan submitted three Sands of Time to complete Quest Five and discovered that his God Demon Stone was only a limited-energy replica.
• Over the following month, Xiao Fan raised his mana above fifty thousand and traded Jian Qingfeng a Heaven-Tier Skill book for two hundred million Core Power.
• Xiao Fan joined Zone 18’s players as the Myriad Phenomena Platform opened, and they entered the map and went to their assigned seats.
• Xiao Fan recognized Taichu as the young man whose appearance he had copied before and remembered that Taichu was Qin Muyu’s hated acquaintance, Qin Changge.
• Xiao Fan approached Taichu, who mistook him for someone else, and confirmed that he was Jiu Chen.
