After the city-center battle, the Bureau of Special Affairs received word that an S-rank Weird had appeared, only to learn that another Weird had already defeated it.

Xie Yu remembered the life in which he suppressed his power to survive and was left behind while his companions fought the Weird Gods. Facing the Chairman again, he chose to pursue power so he could stand and fight beside them.

• Xie Yu smiled at the Chairman and said he wanted to stand beside him, choosing power over longevity.

The Chairman freed Xie Yu from the chains suppressing a Doomfate Class Weird’s power and gave him an Anomaly Artifact to help him control it. After a year of brutal training, Xie Yu mastered the energy enough to keep his body intact, while Luo Ping and Huang Bei woke to find him appearing in the sky.

After the leaders left, Huang Hao learned from Luo Ping how Contract Anomalists worked with Weird, unlike Anomaly Tamers who suppressed anomalies.

Luo Ping explained to Huang Hao that the Anomaly Containment Association’s Chairman had created contracts that let humans and Weirds coexist, prompting Huang Hao to praise the Chairman and promise to help rescue Captain Xie. The Third Prince then summoned Luo Ping, and Huang Hao and Huang Bei moved to intervene.

• Huang Hao questioned how Luo Ping and the other Contract Anomalists could coexist peacefully with Weirds that instinctively craved human flesh.
• Luo Ping said he did not know how the Chairman had made it possible, but explained that the Chairman had founded the Anomaly Containment Association and created the contracts between humans and Weirds.
• Huang Hao learned that the association’s name referred to different paths leading to the same destination, and he praised the Chairman’s principles and pledged to help find the Ghost Domain’s source and rescue Captain Xie.
• The Third Prince interrupted the conversation, called Luo Ping over, and scolded the group for being noisy and slack.
• Huang Hao and Huang Bei approached as Luo Ping followed the Third Prince, wondering why he had been singled out.

The Third Prince brought Luo Ping, Huang Bei, and Huang Hao to the ruins at the city center, where dense anomalous energy made the area a rare place for cultivation. He then used the site to put Luo Ping and Huang Bei through a brutal combat lesson, leaving them badly outmatched.

• Luo Ping and Huang Bei saw robots clearing the ruined buildings, and Huang Hao asked whether the Anomaly Containment Association would trade some robots for minerals.
• Luo Ping noticed that anomalous energy had grown so dense near the city center that it seemed almost liquid.

• Huang Hao told Wu that he did not believe in fate and that people had to fight for their opportunities.
• Wu revealed that he was a diviner and asked whether Huang Hao had truly seen his future, prompting Huang Hao to feel that fate had set its eyes on him.

Wu performed a divination for Huang Hao, and the sacred cups repeatedly indicated that nothing was favorable. Huang Hao realized Wu was warning him about the present rather than the Evil Deity cultists, called his mother to check on her, and asked a colleague to watch over his family.

• Huang Hao agreed to Wu’s offer of a divination and sat with him among the ruins.
• Huang Hao threw the sacred cups, which first landed with both front sides up and then twice with both sides reversed.
• Wu explained that both sides reversed meant nothing was favorable, and Huang Hao assumed the warning concerned the Evil Deity’s lackeys.
• Wu told Huang Hao that the warning was about the present, prompting Huang Hao to rush away and call his mother.
• Huang Hao confirmed his mother was well, then asked a trusted colleague to keep an eye on his family.

Huang Hao worried that his family's safety was threatened after an S-rank Contract Anomalist's divination gave an unfavorable result. Zhou Tian and Chen Mingzhong reassured him that the Bureau of Special Affairs would help, and Huang Hao explained his concern to his captain.

• Huang Hao stayed distracted after learning that an S-rank Contract Anomalist had divined an unfavorable result for him.
• Zhou Tian asked Huang Hao what was wrong, then comforted him after hearing about the divination and his fear of losing his family.
• Zhou Tian urged Huang Hao to speak with the Bureau of Special Affairs' leaders and went to find Chen Mingzhong.
• Huang Hao caught up with Zhou Tian and tried to stop him from troubling the captain.
• Chen Mingzhong told Huang Hao that the Bureau of Special Affairs took its Anomaly Tamers' problems seriously, and Huang Hao admitted he was worried about his family.

After Huang Hao’s divination warned that the operation against the evil god cultists would go badly, Chen Mingzhong gave him leave and ordered Zhou Tian to investigate what the result meant. Zhou Tian visited the newly renovated Anomaly Containment Association branch to find Lord Wu, but had to wait while staff tried to contact Lord Wang Qing.

• Huang Hao told Chen Mingzhong that his divination had produced the result “Nothing is favorable,” and Chen Mingzhong approved several days of leave for him.

Wu met Zhou Tian, who asked why Wu had answered Huang Hao’s divination about the campaign against the Evil Deity’s followers by saying to look at the present. Huang Hao returned home and told his mother he had joined the Bureau of Special Affairs, leaving their conversation interrupted by a text message.

• Wu greeted Zhou Tian by name, and Zhou Tian asked him to explain the result of Huang Hao’s previous divination.

• His mother accepted his decision but asked him to protect himself, while Huang Hao kept quiet about his shortened lifespan.
• A text message arrived on Huang Hao’s phone.

Evil Deity followers attacked Huang Hao’s home, forcing him to protect his mother and hide her in a nearby apartment. After he stopped a monster from reaching her, backup arrived, and the families of Anomaly Tamers involved in the Forest City encirclement were evacuated.

• Huang Hao’s colleague warned him that a suspicious person was watching his home and urged him to escape just before an explosion struck.
• Huang Hao carried his mother out, hid her in an empty apartment, and destroyed surveillance cameras along the way.

• Huang Hao’s colleague pursued the attacker, while Huang Hao stayed with his mother until backup arrived to secure the building and evacuate them.
• Authorities secretly placed the families of Anomaly Tamers who had taken part in the Forest City encirclement under protection and evacuated them.

After Huang Hao’s family survived an attack by Evil Deity followers, Chen Mingzhong suspected Wu’s divination had helped avert a tragedy. Wu gained a strange fate symbol after reversing Huang Hao’s certain death, while the disturbance it caused brought Anomaly Tamers rushing to the club before they learned there was no attack.

• Chen Mingzhong told Zhou Tian that Huang Hao and his family had survived an attack because Huang Hao was home to protect them.
• Chen Mingzhong wondered whether Wu had foreseen the danger and deliberately warned Huang Hao through his divination.

• Wu saw Huang Hao’s fate fragments in the symbol and realized his divination had broken Huang Hao’s certain-death fate.
• Third Prince searched for the anomaly behind the energy surge, then learned Wu had caused it and left disappointed.

Wu gained a perfected fate ability while the Bureau of Special Affairs suppressed the evil god cultists, making the Huaxia Nation safer. At a meeting, Wu said Xie Yu’s mysterious situation was not harmful, and the group debated whether Xie Yu had chosen to contract a Weird beyond his control.

• Wu received Fate History Wheel (Perfect), which let him shift other people's fates by spending gifts from the rules, at the risk of backlash.
• The Bureau of Special Affairs protected Anomaly Tamers' families and intensified its sweep against evil god cultists; Huang Hao killed the cultist who had attacked his home.
• Wang Qing and several Contract Anomalists discussed how their world resembled Azure Star and compared the cultists with organizations once suppressed by the Anomaly Containment Association.
• Wang Qing revealed that Xie Yu had been drawn into a suspected Ghost Domain, and Wu said he had sensed that Xie Yu was not in danger.
• Qin Yu and the Third Prince discussed Xie Yu's inability to advance beyond A-rank, while Tian Zhao defended him and argued that his Weird had chosen him.

Xie Yu mastered the Evil God's power, causing a massive energy surge that shattered the sky curtain and drew the attention of the Contract Anomalists, the Bureau of Special Affairs, and people around the world. The Third Prince rushed to confront him, while officials scrambled to respond and the cause of the otherworldly light remained unknown.

• Xie Yu transformed after mastering the Evil God's power, and the resulting tremor and lights stopped everyone in the meeting room.
• The Third Prince smashed through the window and hurried outside, while Wu and the Daoist went to watch, expecting Xie Yu to beat him.
• An Anomaly Tamer at the Bureau of Special Affairs Branch sensed the powerful Weird energy and sent an emergency report to Headquarters.
• Chen Mingzhong took charge at Headquarters and went outside, where he saw the sky curtain breaking apart as light poured through.
• People around the world watched the beautiful but frightening sky, while children marvelled and adults feared a possible disaster.
