The energy transformed animals and plants and overwhelmed Chu He and Qiu Han, who struggled to control it as the Supervisors and medical staff tried to keep them alive.

• Countries with too many demon beasts sent distress signals, but major powers could not spare help.

• Yu Zihan released white light from her palm, and it entered Yu Baiyi's body.

• Yu Zihan urged Yu Baiyi to join the Special Management Department and said she could join too, staying in the safe rear area.

Shen Yu sensed a world collision while his body was being tempered by the spiritual energy of the veins, and the Duke left Yu Baiyi and the others to investigate. Afterward, Yu Baiyi, Yu Zihan, and Ru Yuwei discussed joining the Anomaly Containment Association as the collision’s faint tremors unsettled awakened people across the world.

• After the spiritual vein spirits helped Shen Yu temper his body, he used a Character Card to play the Duke, who rescued Yu Baiyi, Yu Zihan, and Ru Yuwei from a music box.

Yu Baiyi, Yu Zihan, and Ru Yuwei sensed a distant disturbance they could not explain. At the Special Management Department, Lin Buji and the other Transcendents felt the same tremor while interrogating a killer, then left him locked in his cell as they investigated.

• Yu Zihan explained that she understood how hard it was to live safely without becoming stronger, while Ru Yuwei said ordinary people would yearn for transcendence.

• The world consciousness pleaded with Shen Yu to save the nearly vanished world, and he agreed.
• Shen Yu noticed the Special Management Department members approaching the edge of the collapsing world.

Shen Yu sealed the damaged space at the world-collision point and used the surging spiritual energy to heal and strengthen people. Lin Buji and his companions followed the danger into the rift and crossed into another world, while Shen Yu prepared to choose a powerful Character Card to save it.

• Shen Yu used Ghost Domain—Sealed Space to halt the shattering around the collision, and Long Ze’s cry released spiritual energy that healed the sick and revived the dying.
• Lin Buji and his companions entered deserted Lanqian City, where demonic beasts and ordinary animals had vanished, and decided to investigate the cause.
• The group followed their instincts toward the world rift, passed through a collision gap, and arrived in another world.
• Shen Yu explained that the unstable world depended on the main world’s psychic power to exist and would collapse if that power faded.
• Shen Yu examined three S-rank Character Cards and focused on the one with exceptionally ornate artwork.

Shen Yu summoned Feng Pan and deployed him into Lanqian City as Lin Buji and the others were transported to a strange city filled with adventurers. They followed the crowd to a C-rank secret realm, where Qiu Di barred weaker adventurers from entering and an adventurer revealed he belonged to the Heavenly Demon Guild.

• Shen Yu poured his mental power into Feng Pan's Character Card and sent him through the rift into Lanqian City.
• Lin Buji and his team found themselves in an unfamiliar city where their communicators had no signal and locals initially could not see them.

• Duan You asked a dejected adventurer about Qiu Di, who said Qiu Di belonged to the Heavenly Demon Guild.

Lin Buji and his companions witnessed the Heavenly Demon Guild’s gatekeeper attack an adventurer for cursing the guild, and Lin Buji decided to establish a guild and recruit the local Awakened. Duan You stepped forward to defend the young man and challenge the guild’s monopoly over the secret realm.

• Adventurers complained that guilds exploited ordinary people and that the Heavenly Demon Guild monopolized secret realms, while still seeming less oppressive than its rivals.

• Lin Buji judged the attack unjust and recognized that thousands of adventurers nearby were Awakened recruits for the newly established Special Management Department.
• Lin Buji decided to establish a guild and told Duan You to step forward while the others stood by to intervene.
• Duan You stood between the gatekeeper and the injured young man, declaring that the secret realm did not belong to the Heavenly Demon Guild and that the young man had done nothing wrong.

Duan You and his companions witnessed the Heavenly Demon Guild intimidating adventurers, and Lin Buji argued they should quietly build support before confronting the guild. Duan You stepped forward again under the name Lin Xiao and challenged the guild members, calling their blockade a threat to every adventurer.

• A terrified young adventurer shoved Duan You aside, then slapped himself and repeatedly kowtowed to the Heavenly Demon Guild members until his forehead bled.
• Duan You's companions discussed whether to intervene, and Lin Buji proposed uniting the low-level adventurers while they learned more about the guild and their surroundings.
• The group stayed hidden as Duan You stepped forward and defended the young man, asking the gathered adventurers whether they would let the guild mistreat him over a few words.
• Duan You introduced himself as Lin Xiao when the guild members demanded his identity, and they warned him not to meddle.
• Duan You argued that the guild's blockade of one secret realm concerned every adventurer and could lead to further restrictions.

Duan You stirred up the adventurers against the Heavenly Demon Guild as its members beat a young man who had tried to take his own life. Feng Pan arrived and declared that he was taking control of the secret realm, leaving the guild members stunned.

• Duan You considered whether to save the young man, whose family had spent their savings on equipment for him, or let the incident fuel public outrage against the Heavenly Demon Guild.
• A Heavenly Demon Guild member kicked the young man down and sent his saber flying, then the guild members taunted and kicked him while the crowd watched resentfully.
• Niu A and Yin Keke wanted to fight the guild members, while Duan You waited for someone to lead the crowd against them.
• The crowd fell silent and parted to make way for Feng Pan, whose presence stopped the guild members from beating the young man.
• Feng Pan ignored the guild members' questions and announced that he was taking control of the secret realm.
